In a heartwarming display f cmmunity spirit, six student lacrsse（长曲棍球） players frm Rslyn High Schl in New Yrk have cme tgether t make sprts mre accessible fr peple with disabilities. The initiative, dubbed" Lacrsse My Heart," was started by a grup f teenagers wh were inspired t create a mre inclusive envirnment fr their peers with disabilities.
The prgram fcuses n adapting lacrsse, a ppular sprt in the area, t meet the needs f individuals with physical and cgnitive disabilities. The students have designed specialized equipment and rules t ensure that everyne can participate, regardless f their abilities. Fr example, they have created larger gals and lighter balls t make scring easier, and have implemented mdificatins such as allwing players t use their hands t catch and thrw the ball. These adaptatins have made the sprt mre accessible and enjyable fr all participants.
The prgram has gained significant supprt frm the lcal cmmunity, with many schls and rganizatins dnating resurces and vlunteering their time. The students have als received guidance frm experts in adapted physical educatin, ensuring that the prgram is safe and enjyable fr all participants. This cllabratin has helped t create a prgram that is bth inclusive and beneficial fr everyne invlved.

The funders wanted t create an envirnment where kids with disabilities culd feel included and build friendships with their peers. This apprach has been successful, with participants reprting increased cnfidence and scial skills.

Every year, abut 15 billin trees are cut dwn t make way fr agriculture, mining, lgging. and urban expansin. Such mass defrestatin has accelerated glbal warming and endangered the
survival f millins f species. Thugh many natins, rganizatins, and even individuals have tried, n ne culd plant enugh trees t make up fr that lss — but sme innvative entrepreneurs are wrking n a high-tech slutin.
BiCarbn Engineering (BCE), a U. K.-based start-up, has develped a technique that culd plant ne billin trees per year. The methd? Drnes（无人机）. Current tree-planting prgrams "are just nt fast enugh," said Irina Fedrenk, a c-funder f the cmpany. "But ur technlgy is autmated, s we can scale up quite realistically and quite quickly."
First, a drne scans the land and develps a 3-D map f the area. Then, using the data frm this "smart map," the team develps an algrithm（算法） fr a unique planting pattern. A drne uses the algrithm t carry ut the planting strategy. The drne flies abut six feet abve the grund, firing grwing seeds at a speed that will get them under the sil. The species planted by drne has a better survival rate than helicpter spreading that's mre cmmnly used. Sme species even have survival rates nearly identical t hand planting.
With GPS and imaging technlgies, experts agree that drnes have becme useful fr accurately mapping large areas f land and measuring tree grwth. But sme scientists are mre skeptical abut their success as a planting technlgy t tackle defrestatin n a large scale. After all, they nly have s much range and battery life.
"Drnes are gd fr measuring secndary grwth and lking at where the frest is cming back, but yu fight defrestatin at a sciecnmic level," says Artur Sanchez, directr f the University f Alberta's Center fr Earth Observatin and Sciences. "The issue f climate change is nt frest restratin, the issue is energy. It is cntrlling cal plants, pwer plants, autmbile emissins. Planting trees is very imprtant, but when yu lk at the distributin f CO₂ emissins, defrestatin accunts fr 10 t 15 percent. The rest is energy. That's what needs t be cntrlled."
8. What is the authr's purpse in mentining many trees are cut dwn?
A. T appeal t us t stp cutting dwn trees.
B. T demnstrate the widespread use f trees.
C. T shw the urgency f planting sufficient trees.
D. T illustrate the effect f ecnmic develpment n frests.
9. What can we knw abut BCE's planting strategy?
A. Drnes can't grw trees faster than current prgrams.
B. Drnes accurately map the land prir t planting.
C. Drnes grw seeds six feet beneath the grund.
D. Drnes make seeds survive better than hand planting.
10. What is sme experts' attitude twards BCE's way t restre frests cmpletely?
A. Dubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Carefree. D. Intlerant.
11. Which statement will Artur Sanchez mst prbably agree with?
A. Restring frest is key t tackling climate change.
B. Mre cal plants are needed t generate abundant energy.
C. A majr part f CO₂ emissins results frm defrestatin.
D. Cal plants and cars emissins shuld be restricted.
D
Fly n a lamp n a summer evening and, within minutes, insects will begin t gather near the lamp. This behavir has given rise t a ppular simile（比喻） that describes attractin: "like a mth （蛾） t a flame." Thugh insects have been "drawn" tward bright light surces fr a lng time, scientists never truly understd why. Nw, they may finally have an answer.
Insects aren't attracted t artificial lights, accrding t a new paper published Tuesday in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins. Rather, the glw（光） might be interfering with their natural sense f directin. The insects yu see circling street lights, in ther wrds, are likely lst.
The new finding depends n a thery abut navigatin. When insects fly, they can experience whle bdy acceleratin up t five times greater than the acceleratin caused by gravity. As such, it can be difficult fr them t knw which way is up and which way is dwn as they fly thrugh the air.
The study authrs suspect insects rely n the glw cming frm stars, planets and the mn t rerient（定方向） themselves. Fr mst f Earth's histry, the sky was the brightest surce f light at night, s flying insects turned their bdies t make their backs face skyward. But then, artificial light entered the picture.
T reach these cnclusins, scientists used high-reslutin cameras t film insects flying arund artificial lights in Csta Rica. They als attached tiny sensrs t dragnflies and mths, then filmed mtin-capture vides f them in flight. Tgether, these methds allwed researchers t slw dwn the insects' nrmally fast pace and study their mvements in greater detail. The ftage shwed insects turning their backs tward surces f artificial light —even at the price f crashing.
If the light's abve them, they might start rbiting it. When they fly directly ver a light, they fly themselves upside dwn and that can lead t crashes. It really suggests that the mth is cnfused as t which way is up. After running sme experiments, researchers determined that light shining straight dwn prvided the least di sruptin t insects' flight. Lights that pinted straight up, n the ther hand, caused the mst difficulties.
12. What des the underlined wrd "interfering" in Paragraph 2 mst prbably mean?
A. Disturbing. B. Bsting. C. Restring. D. Balancing.
13. What can we infer abut the insects?
A. Bdy acceleratin weakens fr them in flight.
B. Light frm stars is harmful t their navigatin.
C. They ften fly at a very slw speed.
D. They fly with their backs facing light.
14. What causes minimum harm t insects' flight?
A. Light pinting upward. B. Light pinting backward.
C. Light shining dwnward. D. Light shining frward.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Is It Gd t Be Like a Mth t a Flame?
B. Why d Flying Insects Gather near Light?
C. Hw Fast Can Insects Fly at Night?
D. Hw des Insect Flight Evlve?

37-year-ld Casey Ryan felt very cmfrtable in the muntains f the Willamette Natinal Frest in Eugene, Oregn. He knew its rads and hiking trails well frm his time as a vlunteer in a radside clean-up crew. These days, he was ften there phtgraphing wildlife, and he almst always had his lightweight drne（无人机） with him. It was ne f his favrite cameras.
Thugh weather cnditins weren't great that mrning, Ryan decided t g n a shrt hike with his friend. Snw was cmmn and Ryan felt he knew the area well enugh. Still, as they drve alng, the rads became icy. Ryan thught he might turn back, but after a truck passed them cming frm the ppsite directin, he felt safe enugh t keep ging. The rads must still be passable in that directin, he reasned.
But it wasn't lng befre the tw men came acrss a wman wh was stranded（滞留） alng the muntain rad. Ryan and his friend stpped t help her. Ryan tried t line up his truck's rpe t pull the wman's car ut —and ended up stuck in the same place.
The three tried fr hurs t dig the cars ut, but the sun was setting fast. The temperature was drpping and the snw was turning t ice blcks arund the tires. It was impssible t dig ut.
Thirty miles frm the clsest twn, their phnes had n signal in such a lw-lying（低洼的）area. Their car radi and walkie-talkies culdn't transmit any signal far enugh. The three travelers prepared t spend the night in their cars. The hikers had survival gear（装备） and fd t share, s they weren't terribly wrried.
It was Ryan's friend wh, jkingly perhaps, brught up a news reprt he had seen abut a man using a drne t send rses t his girlfriend living n the 10th flr t make a prpsal （求婚）.
