It’s nly nw, as my 18-year-ld daughter is preparing t leave n her wn gap year trip, that I have understd what Mm felt.
Wrking many jbs and saving mney, my daughter has researched where t stay, hw t get arund and what t d when she arrives. She seldm asks fr my pinin and I dn’t knw whether I shuld back ff r nt. I want t be cl but nt cld. I want t be like the perfect travel guide.

Often, research surrunding nn-native – als referred t as invasive (入侵的) – species fcuses n the negative impact n the envirnments they invade. Nn-native species represent threats r even disasters; sme are even famus fr it. But accrding t a new study frm Brwn University, while the negative aspects f nn-native life, including the increased risk f causing extinctin t ther species, are mainly talked abut, the psitives are nt always addressed. Researchers say that nn-native species als have the ability t increase bidiversity (生物多样性) within habitats.
As far as famusly feared nn-native species g, zebra mussels are high n the unwanted list. They riginated in the waters f Eurasia and have grwn t becme a majr issue in lakes and waterways acrss the Great Lakes, as well as in states such as Texas and Califrnia. In unnatural habitats, they reprduce rapidly, utcmpeting native species fr resurces. Additinally, they attach themselves t hard surfaces, such as pipes and bats, csting millins t remve.
But fr its research, the team decided t fcus nt nly n nn-native species’ negative impacts but als n what they can cntribute t habitats. In frests, the earthwrms have the ability t change the ecsystem negatively. Hwever, when earthwrms are present in agricultural land, there is a pssibility fr a 25-percent increase in the prductivity f agricultural crps. As far as brwn trut – a nn-native species in New Zealand — are cncerned, lcals have embraced the fish, enjying the ecnmic and recreatinal benefits f fishing fr the species and adding it t their lcal fd.
Bilgist Dv Sax, alng with c-authrs f the Brwn University study, says that these benefits are nt as uncmmn as past research n invasive species may suggest.
“Our new paper argues that the psitive impacts f nn-native species are neither unexpected nr rare but instead cmmn and imprtant,” says Sax.
28. What des the new study fcus n?
A. Bad influence f invasive species.
B. Uncertain future sme species face.
C. Pssible benefits nn-native species bring.
D. The imprtance f bidiversity prtectin.
29. What can we learn abut zebra mussels frm paragraph 2?
A. They are listed as endangered species.
B. They disturb the lcal natural balance.
C. They receive a warm welcme in Texas.
D. They bring huge business pprtunities.
30. What is lcals’ attitude t the brwn trut？
A. Dubtful.B. Unclear.C. Supprtive.D. Discntent.
31. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Say N t the Nn-Native Species
B. What d Unnatural Habitats Mean?
C. A Clse Link Between Researches
D. Are Invasive Species Always Bad?

If yu cnnected yur grandparents with flwers r blms, what types wuld they be?
A thery called “rchids (兰花) and dandelins (蒲公英)” was intrduced t describe hw peple adapt t their envirnment. Just like rchids that need specific cnditins t grw, sme peple shw a similar nature. On the ther hand, dandelins, like weeds, can grw almst anywhere and stay strng even in difficult envirnments. The thery, which first came ut in 2005, was created t understand hw kids grw up. But in 2022, Canadian scientists discvered it als applies t lder peple. They investigated the lifestyle activities f mre than 3,530 lder adults, and then studied the influence f these activities n their cgnitive (认知的) health, including whether their cgnitive patterns changed.
The cgnitive patterns f “dandelin” elders appear steady, which means that they tend t have better cgnitive health, shwing great adaptatin and an ability t handle tugh cnditins.

Orchid-type senirs, wh tend t have changes in cgnitive patterns, maintain limited cmmunicatin with the utside wrld. While deeply crazy abut ne r tw hbbies r careers, they tend t fcus n these interests. Althugh they may d well in familiar envirnments, unfavrable cnditins lead them t verreact and struggle.
Knwing what flwer type yur grandparents are enables yu t lve and care fr them better and helps them enjy delightful and fulfilling glden years. Dandelins smetimes might struggle with lneliness, s family members’ cmpany is helpful in such cases. Fr rchids, families shuld encurage them t express hw they feel and what they need.
32. What is the “rchids and dandelins” thery mainly abut?
A. The change f lifestyle. B. Persnal respnse t cnditins.
C. Grwth habit f tw plants. D. Differences between generatins.
33. What d the underlined wrds “silver linings” mean in paragraph 3?

D. They manage new cnditins prly.
35. What is the text mainly abut?

It’s nly nw, as my 18-year-ld daughter is preparing t leave n her wn gap year trip, that I have understd what Mm felt.
Wrking many jbs and saving mney, my daughter has researched where t stay, hw t get arund and what t d when she arrives. She seldm asks fr my pinin and I dn’t knw whether I shuld back ff r nt. I want t be cl but nt cld. I want t be like the perfect travel guide.

Often, research surrunding nn-native – als referred t as invasive (入侵的) – species fcuses n the negative impact n the envirnments they invade. Nn-native species represent threats r even disasters; sme are even famus fr it. But accrding t a new study frm Brwn University, while the negative aspects f nn-native life, including the increased risk f causing extinctin t ther species, are mainly talked abut, the psitives are nt always addressed. Researchers say that nn-native species als have the ability t increase bidiversity (生物多样性) within habitats.
As far as famusly feared nn-native species g, zebra mussels are high n the unwanted list. They riginated in the waters f Eurasia and have grwn t becme a majr issue in lakes and waterways acrss the Great Lakes, as well as in states such as Texas and Califrnia. In unnatural habitats, they reprduce rapidly, utcmpeting native species fr resurces. Additinally, they attach themselves t hard surfaces, such as pipes and bats, csting millins t remve.
But fr its research, the team decided t fcus nt nly n nn-native species’ negative impacts but als n what they can cntribute t habitats. In frests, the earthwrms have the ability t change the ecsystem negatively. Hwever, when earthwrms are present in agricultural land, there is a pssibility fr a 25-percent increase in the prductivity f agricultural crps. As far as brwn trut – a nn-native species in New Zealand — are cncerned, lcals have embraced the fish, enjying the ecnmic and recreatinal benefits f fishing fr the species and adding it t their lcal fd.
Bilgist Dv Sax, alng with c-authrs f the Brwn University study, says that these benefits are nt as uncmmn as past research n invasive species may suggest.
“Our new paper argues that the psitive impacts f nn-native species are neither unexpected nr rare but instead cmmn and imprtant,” says Sax.
28. What des the new study fcus n?
A. Bad influence f invasive species.
B. Uncertain future sme species face.
C. Pssible benefits nn-native species bring.
D. The imprtance f bidiversity prtectin.
29. What can we learn abut zebra mussels frm paragraph 2?
A. They are listed as endangered species.
B. They disturb the lcal natural balance.
C. They receive a warm welcme in Texas.
D. They bring huge business pprtunities.
30. What is lcals’ attitude t the brwn trut？
A. Dubtful.B. Unclear.C. Supprtive.D. Discntent.
31. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Say N t the Nn-Native Species
B. What d Unnatural Habitats Mean?
C. A Clse Link Between Researches

If yu cnnected yur grandparents with flwers r blms, what types wuld they be?
A thery called “rchids (兰花) and dandelins (蒲公英)” was intrduced t describe hw peple adapt t their envirnment. Just like rchids that need specific cnditins t grw, sme peple shw a similar nature. On the ther hand, dandelins, like weeds, can grw almst anywhere and stay strng even in difficult envirnments. The thery, which first came ut in 2005, was created t understand hw kids grw up. But in 2022, Canadian scientists discvered it als applies t lder peple. They investigated the lifestyle activities f mre than 3,530 lder adults, and then studied the influence f these activities n their cgnitive (认知的) health, including whether their cgnitive patterns changed.
The cgnitive patterns f “dandelin” elders appear steady, which means that they tend t have better cgnitive health, shwing great adaptatin and an ability t handle tugh cnditins. Dandelin-type senirs usually have strng scial netwrks, engage psitively with family members and the cmmunity, and always seek ut the silver linings in life experiences.

Orchid-type senirs, wh tend t have changes in cgnitive patterns, maintain limited cmmunicatin with the utside wrld. While deeply crazy abut ne r tw hbbies r careers, they tend t fcus n these interests. Althugh they may d well in familiar envirnments, unfavrable cnditins lead them t verreact and struggle.
Knwing what flwer type yur grandparents are enables yu t lve and care fr them better and helps them enjy delightful and fulfilling glden years. Dandelins smetimes might struggle with lneliness, s family members’ cmpany is helpful in such cases. Fr rchids, families shuld encurage them t express hw they feel and what they need.
32. What is the “rchids and dandelins” thery mainly abut?
A. The change f lifestyle. B. Persnal respnse t cnditins.
C. Grwth habit f tw plants. D. Differences between generatins.
33. What d the underlined wrds “silver linings” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Surprising truths.B. Unexpected turns.
C. Hpeful aspects. D. Lasting memries.
34. What can we learn abut rchid-type senirs?
A. They are willing t make changes.
B. They have gd scial cnnectins.
C. They have a wide variety f hbbies.
D. They manage new cnditins prly.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
