Dark Sky Parks Arund the Wrld
Warrumbungle Natinal Park
Situated in the central west slpes f New Suth Wales is Australia's nly dark sky park, Warrumbungle. The park has served as a dark sky park since July 2016. Its crystal-clear night skies and high altitude ( 海 拔 ) make it a natural, educatinal and astrnmical heritage site in the suthern half f the earth. Turists can use Australia's largest ptical telescpe within the park bundaries t view the aurras (极 光), the Milky Way and faint shting stars.
Sark
Sark is a Channel Island near the cast f Nrmandy under the prtectin f the UK. It was the
Wrld's First Dark Sky Island set up in January 2011. Its histrical and cultural blend (交融) attracts ver 40,000 turists annually. With n mtr vehicles and public lighting n the island, there is an exceptinal view f the dark skies. A rich Milky Way is visible in the dark night skies frm the shres f the island.
Pic du Midi de Bigrre
Pic du Midi de Bigrre in France was designated as a dark sky park in December 2013 making it the secnd largest dark sky park in the wrld.

On March 15,2022, Francis Kéré was awarded the Priuzker Prize, therwise knwn as the Nbel Prize fr architecture, becming the first African architect ever t btain this prize.
His path t success was nt smth. When he was 7 years ld, Francis Keré left his family hme t attend schl because his village, Gand in Burkina Fas, did nt have ne schl f its wn. Thirteen years later, he mved t Germany n a carpentry schlarship, with a dream f returning hme ne day t build the classrms that didn't exist then. Keré achieved just that, becming an architect and cmpleting his first building, Gand Primary Schl, in 2001.
Casting (铸 造 ) mud like cncrete and using lcal materials ver imprted nes, Kéré prpsed a particular visin f structure that bth strengthens cmmunities and respnds t the climate crisis. As such, Tuesday's Pritzker Prize annuncement is nt nly a nd f apprval fr him, but fr “vernacular” architecture—a term used t describe designs that directly respnd t lcal climates, materials and building traditins—itself. He als let the whle village participate in the design, encuraging them t cnstruct the schl, using lcal wd t press the stne flrs and lcal clay t make bricks. The result was a welcming structure with a “flating” rf that allws natural winds in a ht climate, and wall penings that bring light fr students t learn even withut electricity. Mr. Kéré shwed the villagers that ideas t deal with climate r ther challenges are always at hand.
Thugh, Kere has since designed bigger prjects, including many natinal-scale（规模）prjects differing in size, his apprach remains grunded in Gand. “That's hw I'm trying t translate the wrk I have started in Gand t structures that present natinal pride,” says the newly-awarded architect.
Kéré will fficially be named Pritzker winner at a ceremny in Lndn later this year. As with previus winner, he will be awarded a $100,000 grant and a brnze medal.
24. What des the authr intend t d in Paragraph 2?
C
Off the cast f Frmentera, an island, lives seagrass that stretches 15 kilmetres. The seagrass, cvering several hectares, is made up f a single rganism. The grass is als lng-lived, fr tens r hundreds f thusands f years. Alng with tw ther kinds f castal ecsystems—mangrve swamps(红树沼泽) and tidal marshes, seagrass meadws are particularly gd at taking carbn dixide frm the air.
This rle was highlighted in a reprt, which was published n March 2nd by UNESCO, n blue carbn—the carbn taken in by Earth's ceanic and castal ecsystems. In ttal arund 33 billin tns f carbn dixide, abut three quarters f the wrld's emissins in 2019,are lcked away in the planet's blue carbn sinks. Research by Carls Duarte, the reprt's authr and a marine(海洋的) eclgist, has shwn that ne hectare f seagrass can take in as much carbn dixide each year as 15 hectares f rainfrest.
One reasn that blue-carbn ecsystems make such effective sinks is that underwater frests are thicker than the land-based wds. They can als trap (收集) flating pieces and rganic matter, which settles n the sea flr and can duble the amunt f carbn stred away. They have anther advantage, t. Climate change is leading t mre wildfires arund the wrld. As frests burn, their carbn stcks are released back int the atmsphere. Unlike frests n land, blue-carbn ecsystems d nt burn.
Blue-carbn ecsystems may nt be fired, but they remain affected t ther srts f disasters. In May2020 hurricane Amphan destryed1,200 square kilmetres f mangrve frest. A marine heatwave in Australian waters in 2010 and 2011 damaged arund ne third f the wrld's largest seagrass meadw in Shark Bay. “Mangrve frests can weaken r cntrl waves and prvide natural barriers t strm surges. Prtecting and expanding them, then, appears t be a must," said a marine bilgist.
28.What des the secnd paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. The detailed explanatin f blue carbn.
B. The special features f the seagrass.
C. The dubt abut the blue-carbn ecsystems.
D. The capacity f the blue-carbn ecsystems t stre carbn.
29.Why can the blue-carbn ecsystems make such effective sinks?
A. There are mre underwater animals.
B. Their carbn stcks are released back.
C. They have great ability t absrb carbn.
D. They aren't influenced by natural disasters
D
Running is ften tiring and a lt f hard wrk, but nthing beats the feeling yu get after finishing a lng wrkut arund the track.
But while it's lng been believed that endrphins(内啡肽)—chemicals in the bdy that cause happiness—are behind the s-called “runner's high”, a study suggested that there may be mre t this phenmenn than we previusly knew.
Accrding t a recent study published by a grup f scientists frm several German universities, a grup f chemicals called endcannabinids(内源性大麻素) may actually be respnsible fr this familiar great feeling.
T test this thery, the scientists turned t mice. Bth mice and humans release high levels f endrphins and endcannabinids after exercise. After exercising n running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed n signs f anxiety. But after being given a drug t blck their endrphins, the mice's behavir didn't seem t change. Hwever, when their endcannabinids were blcked with a different drug, their runners’ high symptms seemed t fade.
“The lng-held ntin f endrphins being respnsible fr the runner's high is false. Endrphins are effective pain relievers, but nly when it cmes t the pain in yur bdy and muscles yu feel after wrking ut,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrte n science blg Lifchacker.
Similar studies are yet t be carried ut n humans, but it's already knwn that exercise is a highly effective way t get rid f stress r anxiety. The UK's Natinal Health Service even prescribes (开药 方)exercise t patients wh are suffering frm depressin. “Being depressed can leave yu feeling lw in energy, which might put yu ff being mre active. Regular exercise can imprve yur md if yu have depressin, and its especially useful fr peple with mild t mderate(中等的) depressin,” it wrte n its website.
It seems like nthing can beat that feeling we get after a gd wrkut, even if we dn't fully understand where it cmes frm. At least if we're feeling dwn, we knw that all we have t d is t put n ur running shes.
32.What did scientists frm German universities recently discver?
A. Wrking ut is a highly effective way t treat depressin.
B. The runner's high culd be caused by endcannabinids.
C. Endrphins may cntribute t ne's high spirits after running.
D. The level f endrphins and endcannabinids culd affect ne's md.
33.Why did the scientists give mice drugs in their experiment?
A. T find what reduces the runner's high symptms.
B. T see the specific symptms f the runner's high.
C. T identify what is respnsible fr the runner's high.
D. T test what influences the level f endcannabinids released.
34.What des the underlined wrd “ntin” mean?
A. Effect. B. Gal. C. Opinin. D. Questin
35.What can we knw abut regular wrkuts accrding t the UK's Natinal Health Service?
A. They can help ease depressin symptms.
B. They are the best way t treat depressin.
C. They nly wrk fr thse with serius depressin.
D. They can help peple cmpletely recver frm depressin.

Basketball became the centre f Kevin's life.He liked t stand in a certain spt near the free- thrw line and sht baskets.Patiently,he std there thrwing ball after ball.
The day befre their first game,Randy gave each player a bright red jersey(运动衫) .Kevin had stars in his eyes when he saw his number 12.He quickly put it n and almst never tk it ff again. Kevin and his whle team truly lved basketball.But just lving the game desn't help yu win.Mre balls fell ut f the basket than int it,and the bys lst every game that seasn,except ne—the night it snwed,and the ther team culdn't make it t the game.
At the end f the seasn,they had the misfrtune t play against the first-place team—the undefeated first-place team.The game went pretty much as expected,and near the middle f the furth quarter Kevin's team std nearly 30 pints bchind.
At that pint,ne f Kevin's teammates called a time-ut. As he came t the side,Randy culdn't imagine why the time-ut had been called.“Mr.Mss, this is ur last game and I knw that Kevin has played in every game,but he's never made a basket. I think we shuld let Kevin make a basket,"said the by.
With the game cmpletely ut f reach,the idea seemed reasnable,s the plan was made.Every time Kevin's team had the ball,Kevin was t stand in his special spt near the free-thrw line and they wuld give him the ball.
