Native t the Americas, cacti (仙人掌) f all shapes and sizes have evlved t nt just survive, but thrive, in sme f the harshest desert climates n Earth. S hw d they d it?
A cactus’s spines (刺) are ne key t its survival. Take a lk at the Prickly Pear cactus, whse spines are highly mdified leaves. A nrmal leaf’s large surface area wuld be ill-suited t the desert, transpiring (蒸发) massive amunts f water under the baking sun. The dramatically reduced surface area f the spines limits water lss. They als shade the cactus and reflect the sun’s rays, reducing the plant’s cre temperature during the heat f the day. Then, at night, when air temperatures drp, the spines act as an insulating layer, keeping the cactus frm cling dwn t much.
Meln cacti grw in seasnally dry trpical frests, where they’re cnstantly expsed t the beating sun. They rely n anther adaptatin: a thick skin, which is cated in a waxy substance that limits water lss. The main part f the plant acts as a large barrel f water, string it fr times f need.
But t survive the desert, a cactus can’t just limit water lss—it has t be prepared t take full advantage f the rare situatins where water is readily available. In Nrth America’s Snran Desert, the Twering Saguar cactus can grw up t 20 meters tall and live fr up t 200 years. Mst f its rts are nly a few inches deep. Just belw the sil’s surface, they spread ut sideways fr meters and hld the plant in place. After a rain, the sideways rts respnd in time, rapidly grwing and spreading. They prduce temprary rain rts that quickly take up the available water. The water is then pulled up and stred in the plant bdy.
Taken tgether, these features make cacti well-equipped t survive their envirnments. Even in the rainfrest, the cactus survives using adaptatins that lng ag helped its ancestrs survive the desert.
28. Which f the fllwing is similar in functin t the cactus’s spines?
A. The sil’s surface.B. The rts.C. The thick skin.D. The large leaves.
29. What’s the key t the Twering Saguar cactus’s thriving?
A. Deep-grwing rts.B. Far-spreading rts.C. Sufficient sunlight.D. Plentiful rainfalls.
30. Hw des the authr develp the text?
A. By clarifying a cncept.B. By listing numbers.C. By making a cmparisn.D. By giving examples.
31. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Cacti: King f the DesertB. Cacti: A New Slutin t the Desert
C. Nature’s Secret: Hw D Cacti Keep Water in?D. Survival f the Fittest: Can Cacti Thrive Frever?

In a recent vide, President Je Biden discussed tanks. Hwever, a dctred versin f the vide used AI vice clning t make it appear as thugh he was talking abut a debatable issue, which attracted plenty f views n scial media.
Scammers (骗子) are als using AI vice clning t call peple and trick them int putting large amunts f mney int their accunts.“These tricksters have the ability t clne anyne’s vice that can sund exactly like a family member crying ut fr help, frcing yu int a dangerus situatin,” Gupta said. “In the heat f the mment, hw culd anyne questin the genuineness f that call when the deep fake is just that gd?”
32. What is the mst severe risk f AI vice clning accrding t Riju l Gupta?
A. Inaccuracy in cpying users’ vice.B. Difficulty in detecting genuineness.
C. Truble in using Bixby.D. Cncerns abut privacy.

When I was eight years ld, my mther was in great pain frm a severe disease. She had been tld that she wuld never walk again and wished t visit specialists in Lndn and Switzerland. My father reluctantly had t sell ur prperty in suthwest Queensland and made arrangements fr ur jurney as a family frm Twmba t Lndn.
The day befre we barded the ship, Father said gdbye t his five-year-ld red heeler (Australian cattle dg), Cper, wh was lved by us all. Father’s friend Sandy had been getting t knw Cper fr many weeks, and Sandy was t be his guardian while we were verseas.
Six weeks later, a blue airletter arrived frm Sandy, giving my father the news that Cper had run away just tw weeks after we had sailed. I will always remember the frwn n my father’s face and tears in his eyes as he read this news. My mther and I tried t cmfrt him, knwing in ur hearts hw useless this was. Our excitement at finally arriving in England was quickly erased.
Sandy had advertised cnstantly n ABC radi and in the Twmba Chrnicle and ther reginal newspapers. Despite many “sightings”, the dg was never fund. It seemed Cper just kept running and searching fr us. As he was a red heeler, almst yellw in clur, my father thught he wuld be sht r trapped because f his appearance. But my father held a secret hpe that Cper was still alive.
We sailed back t Australia tw years later and re-established ur hme in Twmba. My father immediately began his wn search fr Cper. He repeatedly called t the peple wh had said they had seen his dg. Many false calls and sightings meant that a huge wave f disappintment swept ver ur husehld. My mther was fed up with all this and impatient fr my father t accept the inevitable. The dg was gne—pssibly sht r dead frm starvatin and exhaustin.

Native t the Americas, cacti (仙人掌) f all shapes and sizes have evlved t nt just survive, but thrive, in sme f the harshest desert climates n Earth. S hw d they d it?
A cactus’s spines (刺) are ne key t its survival. Take a lk at the Prickly Pear cactus, whse spines are highly mdified leaves. A nrmal leaf’s large surface area wuld be ill-suited t the desert, transpiring (蒸发) massive amunts f water under the baking sun. The dramatically reduced surface area f the spines limits water lss. They als shade the cactus and reflect the sun’s rays, reducing the plant’s cre temperature during the heat f the day. Then, at night, when air temperatures drp, the spines act as an insulating layer, keeping the cactus frm cling dwn t much.
Meln cacti grw in seasnally dry trpical frests, where they’re cnstantly expsed t the beating sun. They rely n anther adaptatin: a thick skin, which is cated in a waxy substance that limits water lss. The main part f the plant acts as a large barrel f water, string it fr times f need.
But t survive the desert, a cactus can’t just limit water lss—it has t be prepared t take full advantage f the rare situatins where water is readily available. In Nrth America’s Snran Desert, the Twering Saguar cactus can grw up t 20 meters tall and live fr up t 200 years. Mst f its rts are nly a few inches deep. Just belw the sil’s surface, they spread ut sideways fr meters and hld the plant in place. After a rain, the sideways rts respnd in time, rapidly grwing and spreading. They prduce temprary rain rts that quickly take up the available water. The water is then pulled up and stred in the plant bdy.
Taken tgether, these features make cacti well-equipped t survive their envirnments. Even in the rainfrest, the cactus survives using adaptatins that lng ag helped its ancestrs survive the desert.
28. Which f the fllwing is similar in functin t the cactus’s spines?
A. The sil’s surface.B. The rts.C. The thick skin.D. The large leaves.
29. What’s the key t the Twering Saguar cactus’s thriving?
A. Deep-grwing rts.B. Far-spreading rts.C. Sufficient sunlight.D. Plentiful rainfalls.
30. Hw des the authr develp the text?
A. By clarifying a cncept.B. By listing numbers.C. By making a cmparisn.D. By giving examples.
31. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Cacti: King f the DesertB. Cacti: A New Slutin t the Desert
C. Nature’s Secret: Hw D Cacti Keep Water in?D. Survival f the Fittest: Can Cacti Thrive Frever?

When I was eight years ld, my mther was in great pain frm a severe disease. She had been tld that she wuld never walk again and wished t visit specialists in Lndn and Switzerland. My father reluctantly had t sell ur prperty in suthwest Queensland and made arrangements fr ur jurney as a family frm Twmba t Lndn.
The day befre we barded the ship, Father said gdbye t his five-year-ld red heeler (Australian cattle dg), Cper, wh was lved by us all. Father’s friend Sandy had been getting t knw Cper fr many weeks, and Sandy was t be his guardian while we were verseas.
Six weeks later, a blue airletter arrived frm Sandy, giving my father the news that Cper had run away just tw weeks after we had sailed. I will always remember the frwn n my father’s face and tears in his eyes as he read this news. My mther and I tried t cmfrt him, knwing in ur hearts hw useless this was. Our excitement at finally arriving in England was quickly erased.
Sandy had advertised cnstantly n ABC radi and in the Twmba Chrnicle and ther reginal newspapers. Despite many “sightings”, the dg was never fund. It seemed Cper just kept running and searching fr us. As he was a red heeler, almst yellw in clur, my father thught he wuld be sht r trapped because f his appearance. But my father held a secret hpe that Cper was still alive.
We sailed back t Australia tw years later and re-established ur hme in Twmba. My father immediately began his wn search fr Cper. He repeatedly called t the peple wh had said they had seen his dg. Many false calls and sightings meant that a huge wave f disappintment swept ver ur husehld. My mther was fed up with all this and impatient fr my father t accept the inevitable. The dg was gne—pssibly sht r dead frm starvatin and exhaustin.
