As Ginni Bazlintn reached Antarctica, she fund herself greeted by a grup f little Gent penguins lnging t say hell. These gentle, lvely gatekeepers welcmed her and kick-started what was t be a trip Ginni wuld never frget.
Ever since her childhd, Ginni, nw 71, has had a deep lve fr travel. Thrughut her career as a prfessinal dancer, she tured in the UK, but always lnged t explre further. When she retired frm dancing and her sns eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time t take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began t travel the wrld, eventually getting wrk teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discvered she culd get last-minute cheap deals n ships ging t Antarctica frm the islands ff Tierra del Fueg, the suthernmst tip f the Suth American mainland. “I just decided I wanted t g,” she says. “I had n idea abut what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervus, I just wanted t d it. And I wanted t d it alne as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni barded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met befre, t begin the jurney twards Antarctica. “Frm seeing the wildlife t witnessing sunrises, the whle experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impressin n me that n ther place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rse ut f the water like sme prehistric creature and I thught it was smiling at us. Yu culd still hear the peratic sunds it was making underwater.”
The realizatin that this is a precius land, t be respected by humans, was ne f the biggest things that hit hme t Ginni.

Bees have evlved t be skillful flying builders. Wrker insects team up t finish a cmplex hive (蜂房) that ends up being many times their size. It is these insect building teams that inspired Mirk Kvac, a rbticist at Imperial Cllege Lndn, t develp a way t imprve the flexibility f 3D printing.
A typical 3D printer is limited by the range f its nzzle (喷嘴), and can nly make bjects smaller than itself. Dr Kvac’s team has remved these limits by giving the printer nzzle wings. They designed a system f flying rbts that is cmpsed f tw types f drnes (无人机): builders and scanners. The builders carry the 3D-printing nzzle, while the scanners are equipped with cameras that mnitr the building prcess.
The building prcess switches between builders and scanners, layer by layer, printing and adjusting until the structure is cmplete. T start, the builder hvers ver its area f peratin and begins t release a jet f building material as it mves skillfully alng its flight path. Once the builder rbt has sprayed a layer f material, the scanner rbt flies ver and inspects the prgress. The system then calculates the next layer that the builder shuld make, while als crrecting any errrs.
The researchers tested the system by building bth a large cylinder (圆筒) made f fam and a small cylinder made f the cement mixture. The tasks were difficult because simply making circles n tp f ther circles wuld nt achieve the perfect alignment (对齐) that is necessary t ensure maximum stability.
Dr Kvac’s rbts made it with flying clrs—the cylinders were built t be within 5 mm f the width and height f the planned structures, meeting British building standard. While these rbts have been shwn t be capable f manufacturing, Dr Kvac says their bread and butter will prbably be, initially, in repair. The flying rbts can perate anywhere, making them ideal fr fixing things dangerus r inaccessible places. These rbts culd be used mre quickly, cheaply, and with less risk t humans. Thinking mre lng term, Dr Kvac even sees a ptential future fr his cnstrictin rbts building n the surfaces f the Mn r Mars.
24. What inspires the design f Dr Kvac’s team?
A. Bees building larger hives than their size.
B. Bees flying in a mre flexible way.
C. Bees grwing bigger than the hive.
D. Bees wrking tgether as a team.
25. What is the functin f the builders in the building prcess?
A. Crrecting any errrs.
B. Spraying cnstructin material.
C. Carrying the scanning camera.
D. Mnitring the building prcess.
26. What might the flying rbts first be used t d mainly accrding t Dr Kvac?
A. Repair damage in risky places.
B. Cnstruct buildings.
C. Manufacture prducts.
D. Mnitr air pllutin in the sky.

In recent years, aggressin n scial media have becme cmmnplace. Mre than half f the victims said they didn’t knw the identity f the perpetratr (作恶者). Mst peple agreed that the annymity (匿名) f the Internet prvides cver fr nasty and harassing (骚扰) behavir.
Des this grwing aggressin n scial media give us a glimpse f ur real human nature? Are we—at ur cre—aggressive beasts? It’s true that hate crimes are n the rise, and plitical divisins appear t be grwing. The level f public bitterness—especially nline—is substantial. But I dn’t believe that’s because scial media has unlcked ur cruel human nature.
As an evlutinary anthrplgist, I have spent years researching ur transfrmatin as a species. Over the past tw millin years, we have evlved frm grups f apelike beings armed with sticks and stnes t the creatrs f cars, rckets and natins. Our bigger brains have allwed us t bnd and cperate in mre cmplex and diverse ways than any ther animal. Meanwhile, “yu are whm yu meet.” Hw we perceive, experience, and act in the wrld is shaped by wh and what surrund us n a daily basis. This prcess has deep evlutinary rts and gives humans what we call a shared reality.
I wuld argue that the rise in nline aggressin is a prduct f ur evlutinary scial skills, the scial media bm, and the specific plitical, ecnmic and scial cntext where we find urselves. This explsive cmbinatin has pened up a space fr increasingly mre peple t fan the flames f aggressin and insult nline. Aggressive behavir—especially t thse yu dn’t have t cnfrnt face-t-face—is easier than it’s ever been. And fr the aggressr, there are ften n cnsequences.
Yes, it seems that the wrld is getting mre aggressive, but that’s nt because we are mre aggressive at ur cre. It’s because we haven’t been standing up against bullying, abuse, and aggressive harassment, and prmting pr-scial attitudes and actins ur cntemprary wrld demands. In persn and n scial media, we must d bth.
27. What des the underlined wrd “that” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Hate crimes n the rise.
B. Grwing plitical divisins.
C. The transfrmatin f humans.
D. Cnsiderable nline bitterness.
28. What’s the authr’s attitude tward scial media?
A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Apprving.D. Irnic.
29. What des the authr prpse t address the issue f grwing aggressin?
A. Embracing ur aggressive nature t cmpete in tday’s wrld.
B. Strengthening laws t hld perpetratrs respnsible fr their nline actins.
C. Prmting psitive behavirs and interactins in bth real-life and digital spaces.
D. Fcusing nly n reducing annymity n the internet t reduce ffensive behavir.
30. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A. The impact f scial media n sciety.
B. The influence f evlutin n ur behavir.
C. The reasns behind rising nline aggressin.
D. The factrs in the scial media develpment.

Gd vlunteers bring a lt f energy t the prject. The effrts f vlunteers prve invaluable fr wrthy causes such as helping the needy at sup kitchens r digging a well t prvide an undevelped village with fresh water. But there may be sme vlunteer wh wanders arund with his head buried in his smartphne, which is nt much better than having n vlunteers at all. 31
Empathy
First and fremst, a vlunteer shuld care abut the peple r animals that need his help.
This means the vlunteer lks past cultural, religius and scial differences and is nly cncerned that his effrts are making a psitive impact n the lives f thers. 32 Lending a hand at hmeless shelter, fr example, desn’t give a vlunteer the right t discuss the situatins f the peple wh need the shelter utside f the vlunteer grup.
Passin
Passin is an imprtant quality that a gd vlunteer shuld pssess. 33 It’s smething he lks frward t ding, smething he feels a need t d. His enthusiasm is s genuine that he tells ther peple abut the wrk he des and encurages ther peple t get n bard. A vlunteer with this kind f passin can be a ne-persn advertising agency fr a wrthy cause.
Prfessinalism
34 He treats vlunteering with the same level f prfessinalism that he des his jb and he respects the rules that cme with it. He des what he says he’s ging t d and fights thrugh bstacles t make it happen. He als desn’t lwer his level f quality utput because he isn’t being paid fr it; he puts his best effrt frward because his reward is the difference he’s making.
Team Player
It’s imprtant fr a vlunteer t be a self-starter, but it’s equally imprtant fr him t knw hw t wrk as part f a team. 35 N matter what differences in persnality, upbringing r utlk, everyne invlved is in it fr the same purpse: t help thse wh are unable t help themselves.
A．He must als respect the privacy f the peple he helps.
B．He knws hw t cperate with ther vlunteers with passin.
C．What inspires smene t be a vlunteer?
D．What qualities des a gd vlunteer need t pssess?
E．Vlunteering is still in great need even thugh mre and mre peple take n bard.
F．A gd vlunteer is reliable and dependable.
G．Vlunteering fr his favrite cause isn’t just anther way t spend a Saturday.

My lve fr dance began when I was very yung and I wuld dream t be a star dancer frm time t time. With the drama festival appraching, the schl’s drama club had released a ntice fr the dancer auditin (试镜) fr The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And f curse I was the first ne t sign up.
As I left the stage after my auditin at schl, I culd feel it. The pwer. The future. I knew that smeday when dancers’ magazines wrte abut me, they wuld say this mment was when my rise t a star began.
My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night s they prbably had ft pain, t. My perfrmance was mre genuine because f my pain. I needed t shw my devtin even when I wasn’t n stage, s I apprached Mr. Ellisn, the drama club advisr. He tld me that casting (角色分配) will be psted tmrrw.“Thank yu, sir,”I said, using the almst British prnunciatin f Hllywd stars in the 1940s. I was s sure that Mr. Ellisn wuld cast me as a princess.
The next mrning, I went t read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned frm One t Twelve, but nne by me. At the bttm f the casting list, my name finally appeared. My rle was a really small ne, an ld wman wh helped a sldier, nt ne f the princesses! I was desperately disappinted. Mr. Ellisn must have made a mistake! N ne else in the schl had my skills r preparatin.
I fund him in his classrm, but he insisted there was n mistake and emphasized that every rle in a play was imprtant. Unable t accept the fact, I burst int tears. Mr. Ellisn managed t calm me dwn and encuraged me t have a try in the rehearsal (排练).
