Cral reefs (珊瑚礁) as underwater walls can help reduce the effects f hurricanes n castal cmmunities. This seems unbelievable. It is reprted that scientists have discvered that cral reefs are even mre effective than man-made sea walls under the water. Hwever, cral reefs are especially easy t be influenced by climate change. Overfishing and pllutin have als prved very dangerus t them. Since 1950, half f the wrld’s cral reefs have already been lst. T prtect ur cmmunities and keep sea ecsystems alive, we need t prtect cral reefs right away.
Let’s take a clser lk at hw cral reefs prtect us frm flds, and hw scientists are restring (修复) reefs.
The rles that cral reefs play as underwater walls have lng been recrded by scientists. During a Categry 3 hurricane in 2015 in Australia, the cral reefs effectively prtected the eastern shreline frm flding. In cntrast, the western casts withut cral reefs suffered serius damage. The researchers bserved that the shape f cral reefs can break the appraching waves. Mre recently, researchers at the University f Miami have reached the same cnclusin. They used a special lab simulatr (模拟装置) t recreate cean cnditins during a Categry 5 hurricane. They fund that cral reefs culd reduce the impact f waves by up t 95 percent!
Because f higher cean acidity (酸性) and temperature, cral reefs are disappearing and dying ut. At the same time, climate change puts weakened cral reefs under mre stress. The University f Miami researchers are testing t plant new cral reefs while thers are actively lking fr effective methds t reduce the acidity f sea water. The gvernments have als paid mre attentin t these actins and prvided enugh mney fr reef restratin. With these effrts, we may address climate threats t cral reefs and they can carry n prtecting ur cmmunities.
28. What can we knw abut cral reefs?
A. They can reduce hurricanes.B. They are faced with danger nw.
C. They can’t effectively prevent flds.D. They aren’t influenced by verfishing.
29. Which f the fllwing is true accrding t paragraph 3?
A. A terrible hurricane attacked Australia in 2015.
B. Scientists paid little attentin t cral reefs befre.
C. Cral reefs culd reduce the impact f waves t 95%.
D. The eastern casts f Australia were damaged seriusly.
30. What’s the authr’s attitude twards the future f cral reefs?
A. Dubtful.B. Cnfused.C. Psitive.D. Objective.
31. What’s the purpse f this passage?
A. T intrduce the grwth f cral reefs.
B. T explain the functins f cral reefs.
C. T encurage peple t plant mre cral reefs.
D. T stress the imprtance f prtecting cral reefs.

“Practice makes perfect” is a very ppular expressin. Hwever, can we take this saying literally?
One ppular thery (理论) is that if a persn practises fr at least 10,000 hurs, they will reach “perfectin”—r, in ther wrds, becme an expert in their field. This thery was made famus by Malclm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling bk, Outliers: The Stry f Success. He gave the examples f the music grup The Beatles and Micrsft c-creatr Bill Gates, wh clearly put in ver 10,000 hurs f practice befre they became successful.
Hwever, Gladwell’s bk has been said by many t be t simplistic and generalising. Althugh Gladwell’s wrk was largely based n research dne by Anders Ericssn, Ericssn argued that 10,000 hurs was just an average figure. Sme peple, fr example, needed far fewer than 10,000 hurs, and thers many mre. Mre imprtantly, Ericssn said that just practising a lt was nt enugh; the type and quality f practice were als significant. He went n t explain the imprtance f “deliberate practice”, which is when a persn practises a specific part f a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whle. Deliberate practice is said t be much mre effective, thugh mre tiring.
Many ther studies argue that practice alne is far frm enugh. In fact, a mre recent study frm Princetn University stated that practice nly accunted fr up t 26% f reaching an expert level. Many ther factrs cntribute t peple becming experts. Natural talent is an imprtant factr, which is especially evident in sprts. Fr instance, many baseball players in America have amazing visin that allws them t see the ball much sner than thers d. Besides, IQ, persnality, attitude, and starting age are decisive factrs, t. It is als imprtant t nte that becming an expert desn’t equal instant success. Success als relies n scial factrs, envirnmental factrs, and even just being in the right place at the right time!
In cnclusin, practice may nt make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shwn t lead t significant imprvement.
32. Why des the authr ask a questin in the first paragraph?
A. T make a cmparisn.B. T highlight his pinin.
C. T inspire a reflectin.D. T give a definitin.
33. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. Gladwell’s thery is easy t understand.
B. Gladwell misinterprets Ericssn’s research.
C. Ericssn bjects t deliberate practice.
D. Ericssn believes quality utweighs number.
34. What makes many American baseball players utstanding?
A. Their persnality.B. Their physical talent.
C. Their identity.D. Their deliberate practice.
35. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. Attitude is everything.B. Patience determines success.
C. Talent cunts mst.D. Practice makes a difference.

In a small Chinese village, a yung girl named Mei lived with a deep lve fr painting. Her artwrks, filled with lively clrs, caught the beauty f her surrundings. Despite her talent, Mei ften battled with self-dubt. She wndered if her skills were truly excellent r if she was just frtunate.
One day, Mei heard abut a painting cntest in the twn called the “Sunlit Art Challenge”. Determined t prve herself and remve the dubts, Mei quickly signed up fr it. The cntest stirred a mix f excitement and nervusness in her. Mei spent cuntless hurs perfecting her painting technique, puring her heart and sul int her wrks.
Fr the cntest, Mei painted a beautiful sunrise ver the sea. The sun just started t rise abve the hrizn（地平线）, its bright light beginning t shine ver the cean. The sun’s rays lked like glden light, spreading acrss the water and making it shine like a giant mirrr. As the sun rse higher, it lked like a bright ball f fire, warming the sea and making the waves shine brightly. The sky changed clrs t, frm a sft blue t bright ranges, pinks and reds. It was like watching the day begin right there n her canvas（画布）. Mei’s painting captured the peaceful yet lively scene f the sun’s first rays tuching the vast cean, symblizing hpe.
On the day f the cntest, the village square was filled with excitement. Artists frm near and far displayed their wrks. Mei set up her painting, feeling bth prud and anxius. As the judges evaluated（评估）Mei’s painting, her heart raced with nervusness. Since their expressins were hard t read, Mei felt like her dubts were right, that she wasn’t as gd as she hped.
When the hst started t annunce the winners, Mei listened with hpe and curisity. But sadly her name wasn’t called. Disappintment washed ver her, and she frced a smile, applauding（鼓掌）the winners. After the cntest, Mei felt disheartened. She thught her painting had failed t impress anyne, and she lst her mtivatin t lift her brush. At that time, Mr. Zhang, a villager, apprached Mei.
