Mre than ne billin punds f pumpkins are grwn in the U.S. every year, and after they’ve been used n Hallween, millins f them will end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋地) and becme methane, which is a greenhuse gas. “Cmpared t carbn dixide, methane warms the atmsphere in a shrter amunt f time, which means it’s a particularly strng cause f climate change,” says Kay McKeen, the executive directr at SCARCE, an envirnmental educatin rganizatin based in Illinis.
That’s why, in 2014, McKeen and her SCARCE c-wrkers began Pumpkin Smash, a cllectin event where lcal Illinis residents can bring their rtting (正在腐烂的) pumpkins t 69 different lcatins t send them ff t cmpst bins (堆肥箱), and smash (粉碎) them t pieces. “It puts nutrients back in ur sil, it saves water, and it desn’t make methane gas — it’s just a win-win,” says McKeen. By their wn calculatins, the grup has saved 538 tns f pumpkins frm the landfill.
But nt everyne has access t pumpkin-smashing events. Since pumpkins are a great surce f human nutritin, sme peple turn t hme cking. “Nt ne pumpkin ges t the landfill frm ur kitchen. It is a cmmn ingredient in baked fd like muffins, bread, and pies,” says Una Hagen. Pumpkin flesh can als be fermented (发酵), ntes Elizabeth Flurny: “I have been making wine frm pumpkins!”
Sme peple thrw pumpkins utside fr deer, r raccns t eat. While pumpkins are generally safe fr wildlife t eat, experts say it’s best t let them hunt fr their wn fd. Feeding wild animals can spread disease when animals gather. Sme states, like Clrad, fine residents wh intentinally feed wildlife. And trying t feed animals like deer can unintentinally attract animals like bears and lead t human-wildlife cnflict. Instead, see if any lcal farms are cllecting pumpkins as treats fr their pigs, gats, and ther animals — r fr any ther purpses. The website Pumpkins fr Pigs shws animal farms arund the cuntry that take uncarved and unpainted pumpkins.
28. What can we learn abut Pumpkin Smash?
A. Its aim is t reduce pumpkin pllutin.B. It cllects pumpkins wrldwide.
C. Its effect has been questined.D. It is highly prfitable.
29. Hw des Una Hagen deal with pumpkins?

C. By using them fr decratin.D. By sending them t landfills.
30. Why d experts disagree with feeding wild animals with pumpkins?
A. It is a waste f fd.B. It disturbs the eclgical balance.
C. Pumpkins are harmful t wild animals.D. Wild animals may cause harm t humans.

In the late 1980s, NASA cnducted a study t determine hw well indr plants reduce air pllutin. But NASA’s study was cnducted in sealed chambers simulating （模拟） future lng-term space habitats. A 2022 analysis in the Jurnal f Expsure Science&Envirnmental Epidemilgy shwed that it wuld take 680 plants t clean the air in a 1, 500-square-ft rm—highly unrealistic fr mst plant parents. If the French bitech startup Neplants has its way, thugh, yu might need nly ne.
Neplants’ prduct, annunced late last year, is the Ne P1, the first huseplant genetically engineered t imprve indr air. At first sight, this high-tech pths （绿萝） is indistinguishable frm the real thing. It’s attractive, fast-grwing, and hard t kill. But unlike typical plants, it als takes in indr air pllutants missed by traditinal air purifiers.
Fr nw, the pths itself is respnsible fr nly abut 30%f the Ne P1’s air-cleaning capacity, but researchers expect that t change sn. The Ne P1 is the cmpany’s first prduct. “Air-filtering （空气过滤） plants may get peple t think abut GMOs (Genetically Mdified Organisms) in a new way,” says Brphy, a Stanfrd researcher. “Having smething that yu can tuch and feel and that is nnthreatening is a great way t get peple intrduced t the cncept f genetically mdified rganisms.”
Pths plants have becme familiar cmpanins in the indr landscape f remte wrk just as the plitical debate abut gas stves has raised ur awareness f nce-unfamiliar dmestic danger. Accrding t the Envirnmental Prtectin Agency, Americans spend arund 90% f their lives inside, where cncentratins f sme pllutants can be anywhere frm tw t five times higher than they are utdrs. “Usually we feel safe indrs,” says cfunder and CEO f Neplants Linel Mra. “But invisible things indrs can be very harmful.”
It’s clear that Mra is ultimately lking beynd indr air cleaning and tward climate applicatins. “It’s easier t have an impact in the bedrm than t start with the atmsphere,” Mra says. “But I’ll be disappinted if there’s a plant n the mn and it’s nt a Neplant.”
32. Hw is the effect f sme plants n indr air accrding t the 2022 analysis?
A. Limited. B. Significant.
C. Permanent. D. Immeasurable.
33. What d we knw abut Ne P1?
A. It can kill ther plants. B. It lks like a cmmn plant.
C. It’s created by an engineer.D. It’s ften missed by peple.
34. What can we infer abut GMOs frm what Brphy said?
A. They have been widely accepted.
B. They accunt fr a third f indr plants.
C. They shuld be intrduced in a safer way.
D. They may cause cncern amng sme peple.
35. What may be Mra’s wish?
A. T g t the mn t study plants.
B. T make a prfit with their prducts.
C. T make indr air imprvement easily.
D. T grw their plants n the mn ne day.

Dear fellw students,
Last week I did a research n students’ reading classics. 70% students never r seldm read classics, and nly 16% students read regularly. Obviusly, the majrity f students ignre the significance f reading classics.
