Scientists find when tiny plastics end up in farm fields, the pllutin can impair plant grwth. But tw yung researchers nw reprt that cmbining fungi (真菌) with certain farm wastes can partially vercme that prblem. May Shin, 20, and Jiwn Chi, 18, presented their discvery at the 2023 Regenern Internatinal Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF).
The pair met in a research design class at the Fryeburg Academy, a high schl in Maine. May had wanted t explre hw micrplastics might affect the ecsystem. Jiwn was fascinated by plants and fungi. The yung scientists shared their interests, May says, t test hw lng-lived plastics might affect farm crps—and hw t limit any harm.
May and Jiwn planted mre than 2,000 scallin (韭葱) seeds in pts f sil. Half the seeds gt sil plluted with micrplastics. The rest grew in plastic-free sil. The plants assigned t each sil were further divided int fur grups. The yung scientists added certain micrscpic fungi t the sil in ne grup. Anther grup had a tp layer f farm wastes. A third grup gt bth treatments. The last grup gt nne. Fr three weeks, the pair tracked hw many scallins spruted (萌芽) in each grup and measured the plants’ height nce each week.
Abut twice as many scallins spruted in clean sil cmpared t that cntaining plastic bits. But amng plants surviving in the plluted sil, a cmbinatin f micrscpic fungi and farm wastes helped them ut. Thse getting bth treatments grew 5.4 centimeters(abut 2 inches)per week. That was faster than either f the treatments alne r thse getting nne. It was slwer, hwever, than scallins planted in clean sil. They grew 7.2 centimeters(2.8 inches)per week.
In the future, the tw yung scientists hpe t cntinue testing micrscpic fungi and farm wastes under ther cnditins. Their gal is t see hw ther factrs might change the plants’ respnse t the sil treatments.
24. What can we learn abut May and Jiwn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. They met in a cllege. B. They grw fungi at hme.
C. They like t cllect farm wastes. D. They wrked tgether harmniusly.
25. Why did the writer give detailed descriptin t the test in paragraph 3?

C. T shw the reliability f the test. D. T aruse the readers’ interest.
26. What can be fund frm the result f the test?
A. Farm wastes help sprut mst in plluted sil.
B. Micrscpic fungi helps sprut mst in plluted sil.
C. Scallins sprut better in clean sil than in plluted sil.
D. Plants grw better in plluted sil with wastes than in clean sil.
27. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?

C. Farm wastes will be mre valuable. D. Micrscpic fungi will be widely used.
C
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind t be bth functinal and beautiful. Why, then, is art still s widely cnsidered t be “the easy subject” at schl, insignificant t wider sciety, a waste f time and effrt?
Art can cnnect culture with cmmercial (商业的) prducts in a way that nt many ther things can; art generates mney and hlds significant emtinal and cultural value within cmmunities. When peple attend a cncert, they are paying fr music, sure, maybe even htel rms, meals, and transprt, but they als gain an incredible experience, a unique atmsphere and a memry that will g thrugh the rest f their lives. Peple dn’t just want material things anymre, they want t experience life—the arts are a perfect crssver (交迭) between culture and cmmerce.
Furthermre, the arts can bring cmmunities tgether, reducing lneliness and making peple feel safer. Scial relatinships are created amng individuals when they share their arts experiences thrugh reflectin and discussin, and their expressin f cmmn values thrugh artwrks in hnur f events significant t a natin’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty psitive impact n physical and psychlgical health. It is fund that peple wh frequent cultural places r participate in artistic events are mre likely t gain gd health cmpared t thse wh d nt; mre engagement with the arts is linked t a higher level f peple’s well-being. The Ryal Sciety f Public Health discvered that music and art, when used in hspitals, help t imprve the cnditins f patients by reducing stress, anxiety and bld pressure.
Children wh are invlved with the arts make greater achievements in their educatin: thse engaged with drama have greater literary ability while thers taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference fr the arts have a greater chance f finding emplyment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential fr child develpment; encuraging children t express themselves in cnstructive ways culd help t frm healthy emtinal respnses in later life.
Vital t human life, art is celebrated and used by natins acrss the wrld fr varius purpses. Life withut art wuld be bring and dead still, fr art is a part f what makes us human.
28. As fr art prducts, which wuld the authr agree with?
A. Mst peple buy them fr cllectin.
B. Their prices may climb up as time passes.
C. They differ frm many ther cmmercial prducts.
D. They have cultural values rather than cmmercial values.
29. Kids wh engage with the arts tend t ________.
A. be mre respnsible adults when they grw up
B. be mre cnfident in exhibiting their learning skills
C. have mre pprtunities t d creative jbs in the future
D. have better learning perfrmance and emtinal develpment
30. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Art prducts are mre expensive.
B. The arts can make peple feel lnelier.
C. Artistic activities can imprve peple’s health.
D. The arts can help peple becme mre beautiful.
31. What is the best title fr this passage?
A. Art Is Beneficial fr PatientsB. Art Wastes Time and Effrt
C. Art Can Prevent Heart DiseaseD. Art Is Imprtant t Humankind
D
I turned 8 years ld the day I skipped schl fr the first time. It was easily dne: Bth my parents left fr wrk befre my schl bus arrived n weekdays, s when it shwed up at my huse n that cld winter mrning, I simply did nt get n. The perfect crime!
And what did I d with myself n that glrius stlen day, with n adult in charge and n limits n my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall fr a shplifting extravaganza (狂欢)?
Npe. I built a warm fire in the wd stve, prepared a bwl f ppcrn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was trilled and transprted by a bk — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Als Rises — and I just needed t be alne with it fr a little while. I ached t knw what wuld happen t Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Rbert Chn. I culdn’t bear the thught f siting in a classrm taking anther exam when I culd be traveling thrugh Spain in the 1920s with a bunch f expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lst in wrds. Time fell away, as the rm arund me turned t mist, and my rle — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the wrld n lnger had any meaning. I had accidentally cme acrss the key t perfect happiness: I had becme cmpletely absrbed by smething I lved.
Lking back n it nw, I can see that sme subtle things were happening t my mind and t my life while I was in that state f absrptin. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself int my imaginatin. I was dwnlading infrmatin abut hw t create simple and elegant sentences, a gd and slid plt. In ther wrds, I was learning hw t write. Withut realizing it, I was ht n the trail f my wn fate. Writing nw absrbs me the way reading nce did and happiness is their generus side effect.
32. Why did the authr skip schl n that day?
A. Because she’s fascinated by a nvel.B. Because it’s a biting cld winter mrning.
C. Because her parents left hme early.D. Because she’s anxius t take the exam.
33. What did the authr think is the surce f true jy?
A. Reading a fictin by the fire.B. Travelling with a bunch f expatriates.
C. Being ccupied by ne’s passin.D. Breaking the rules and regulatins.
34. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself int” in the last paragraph?
A. Mending.B. Destrying.C. Entering.D. Blcking.
35. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The authr was tired f his rles in the real-life.
B. Becming a writer is the authr’s childhd dream.
C. The authr skipped schl when he was 8 years ld.
D. Writing has a hrrible effect n the authr’s life nw.

My writing career started when I was in elementary schl, where there were varius writing cntests thrughut the years. I’m assuming it was in the hpes f trying t get ur yung, little minds excited abut the pssibilities that writing culd ffer us in ur lives. Then I’d cme hme, shw my parents and my dad wuld say, “Yu did such a great jb, hney! Ww, yu must be a great writer!” I was prbably a better writer in 5th grade than my average cunterparts (同等的人) at the time. I even went t the special advanced classes fr the “gifted” kids fr a few years.
And as I grew lder, I remembered thse experiences and what my dad was always telling me, and it just stuck with me, and became part f my subcnscius (潜意识) — that I was a great writer. I always did well in all my classes because I had this cnfidence. I didn’t like all subjects particularly. but I gt gd grades. I was pretty self-assured in my abilities as a student. Then, fast frward t my freshman year f high schl. By this time, I had started t even ut (相等) with the rest f my peers, in terms f intelligence. And then, it happened, the day that my hpes were destryed.
It was all because f the new English teacher: Ms. Mn. The year started ut like any ther. I expected t d well; I wrked hard and knew that my effrts wuld pay ff, like it always had in the past. But smething started happening. I started getting Cs n my papers! I dn’t think I’d ever seen that letter, except in the spelling f my first name. And, nt nly was I getting lw grades in her class, but als her cmments made me astnished. My papers were full f red marks, and I was being asked t re-d many assignments t even get a passing grade.

The little by tk the little lame dg hme happily. Ever since, they played tgether; they ate tgether; smetimes they even slept tgether. The little lame by and the little lame puppy became best friends.
