Sia Gdika was 13 when she nticed the bareft （赤脚的） children f cnstructin wrkers at a building site near her huse in the upscale Kramangala district f Bangalre, India.
“They were just walking arund that building site with their feet bare, hard, dirty and bleeding, as thugh it was an everyday practice fr them,” reflects Sia, nw 17. And it was in that mment that Sia realised the trubling cntrast （对比） t her wn life.
She went back hme, lked at her feet and pened her wardrbe drs, seeing shes—many f which hadn’t been wrn fr mnths r years—piled up high. She headed t her mther’s wardrbe next, dusting ff cbwebs frm sme shes. Then she rushed t give them all fr free t the same children she saw at the building site.
Later that year, with the help f her parents and cmmunity vlunteers, Sia funded Sle Warrirs, a charity dedicated t prviding ftwear t thse in need, epitmised by its mtt: “Dnate a she, save a sul.”
The idea, which started as a dinner cnversatin with her parents, quickly grew. After she spread the wrd with psters and scial media, emails frm peple wh wanted t help came flding in. Nw in its fifth year, the rganizatin runs distributin （分送） drives in which Sle Warrirs cllects used ftwear, refurbishes （翻新） it and dnates the finished prducts t peple in need.
That need, says Sia, is endless. In a wrld where the prest half f the ppulatin wns just tw per cent f the wealth, an estimated 300 millin peple can’t affrd ftwear. Of the nearly 24 billin shes made every year, shckingly mre than 90 per cent end up in landfills （废物填埋场）.
In its first distributin drive, Sle Warrirs cllected and gave ut 700 pairs f shes. Tday that number stands at arund 28,000 acrss fur cuntries, including the United States, China and Liberia, thanks t the hard wrk f a cre team f abut 80 vlunteers.
But the rganizatin’s grwth wasn’t withut its challenges. When it came t lking fr partners, such as a cmpany that wuld d the refurbishments （翻新） free, Sia faced ne difficulty after anther befre finding a partner in India’s Presst Cbbler.
T hnr her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, ne f the mst prestigius （声誉高的） hnrs a yung persn can receive fr scial actin. But her wrk isn’t dne. “Our gal has always been t tuch a millin feet,” she says.
20. ________ inspired Sia t dnate shes t the children at the building site.
A. Her parents ’and cmmunity vlunteers’ help
B. The sight f children withut wearing shes
C. The piles f shes in her parents’ wardrbe
D. Her cmfrtable life in the upper class
21. The underlined wrd “dedicated” in para.4 can be replaced with ________.
A. addictedB. expsedC. ppsedD. devted
22. What can be inferred abut Sia’s charitable wrk?
A. Sia met many challenges caused by Presst Cbbler.
B. Sia is ambitius t expand her prject by dnating mre shes.
C. Sia was awarded Diana Award fr her wrk at 20.
D. Sia’s prject recycles 90% f used shes in landfills.
23. Which f the fllwing is prbably the best title f the text?

Everyne knws this: Slwly turn up the heat n a frg in a pt f water, and the frg wn’t hp ut. Unaware f the slight increase in heat, it will stay until —well, until it dies. When it cmes t the effect f rising glbal temperatures n amphibians （两栖动物）, the frg-biling stry is mre than just a metaphr （隐喻）.
Climate change is becming ne f the biggest threats t frgs and ther amphibians, accrding t a majr study published Wednesday in the jurnal Nature. Between 2004 and 2022, rising temperatures became the main reasn why mre than 100 amphibian species were nearly dying ut.
The spread f disease amng frgs and the destructin f their habitats have lng been recgnized as reasns why many amphibians are decreasing. But this new study establishes climate change as a majr risk fr amphibians arund the wrld, t. The sft-skinned animals lack the fur and feathers t help adjust （调节） their temperature in this htter and drier wrld.
Less attentin is paid t frgs and ther amphibians cmpared t mre well-knwn grups like birds. But lsing amphibians wuld be serius because they ften act as a key link in the fd web f ecsystems, wlfing insects dwn and, in turn, being eaten by larger predatrs （捕食者）. “Withut thse amphibians t fill that rle, we will see the breakdwn f this fd web,” said Neam, wh wrks fr an Austin-based envirnmental grup.
Luckily, habitat prtectin and ther measures have been taken t help recver mre than five dzen amphibians frm Csta Rica t Malaysia. “It’s nt all bad news,” said Jennifer Luedtke, an amphibian grup leader with the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature. “But we really must build n this imprvement and significantly increase the amphibian cnservatin.”
24. Hw is the tpic intrduced?
A. By sharing a stry.B. By raising a questin. C. By explaining ideas.D. By listing facts.
25. What is the main reasn fr the decrease f amphibians accrding t the new study?
A. The lss f habitats.B. The lack f feathers. C. The spread f disease.D. The rise f temperature.
26. What will happen if the number f amphibians decreases?
A. Wlves will depend mre n insects.B. Predatrs will be the key rle f the web.
C. The ecsystem will becme mre diverse.D. The fd chain will be destryed.
27. Hw des Luedtke feel abut the future f amphibians?
A. Uncertain.B. Curius.C. Hpeful.D. Wrried.

Free-riding means peple can benefit frm a service withut paying anything. It als arises if peple can get benefit withut making equal cntributins. S a free rider always enjys the benefits f a resurce r service while letting smene else d the wrk r d mre wrk.
There are several effects f the free rider prblem. The first is the Tragedy （悲剧） f the Cmmns, a situatin in which individuals with access t a public resurce act fr their wn benefit and, in ding s, finally use up the resurce. Fr example, imagine that a grup f peple share a piece f land where they all graze （让……吃草） their cattle. If each persn just tries t increase their wn shrt-term gain, they will let their cattle graze as much as pssible. Hwever, if everyne des this, the land will quickly becme ver-grazing and will nt be able t supprt any cattle.
Anther effect is that the free rider prblem can lead t a situatin in which peple d nt have access t imprtant gds and services. This is because prviders may nt be able t get back the csts f prviding the gds r services if t many peple free ride. Imagine that a city decides t build a new hspital thrugh dnatins. If t many peple rely n thers t dnate, rather than dnate themselves, then the hspital may nt be built at all. This means that peple wh need medical care in the area may nt have access t it.
There are several slutins t the free rider prblem. Gvernment slves the prblem by cllecting tax （税） dllars t supprt public services. Theretically, taxes are related t incme, s fair cst-sharing can be achieved. Cmmunities can turn their public resurce int a private r club resurce, charging mney t make sure everyne wh uses it cntributes t it. This will limit veruse and, ver time, may even lead t altruistic （利他的） behavir. That is, many peple may like the idea f making a small cntributin t a resurce that they use.
28. Which f the fllwing may best shw the nature f free-riding?
A. Many hands make light wrk.B. Let Gerge d it.
C. Every cin has tw sides.D. Less is mre.
29. What is ne f the effects prduced by the free rider prblem?
A. The csts f prviding the gds and services are rising.
B. Peple tend t maximize their lng-term gain.
C. A grup f peple have t share gds and services.
D. Individuals veruse a shared resurce fr persnal gain.
30. Hw is paragraph 3 mainly develped?
A. By giving an example.B. By explaining a definitin.
C. By referring t a study.D. By making a cmparisn.
31. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T call n the gvernment t slve the free rider prblem.
B. T infrm the readers f the free rider prblem.
C. T stress the imprtance f making dnatins.
D. T draw peple’s attentin t public services.

But lsing amphibians wuld be serius because they ften act as a key link in the fd web f ecsystems, wlfing insects dwn and, in turn, being eaten by larger predatrs （捕食者）. “Withut thse amphibians t fill that rle, we will see the breakdwn f this fd web,” said Neam, wh wrks fr an Austin-based envirnmental grup. （与鸟类等更知名的群体相比，青蛙和其他两栖动物受到的关注较少。但是失去两栖动物将是灾难性的，因为它们通常是生态系统食物网的关键环节，它们吞噬昆虫，反过来又被更大的捕食者吃掉。 “没有这些两栖动物来填补这个角色，我们将看到这个食物网的崩溃，”在奥斯汀一家环境组织工作的尼姆说）”可知，如果两栖动物的数量减少，食物链将被破坏。故选D。

If t many peple rely n thers t dnate, rather than dnate themselves, then the hspital may nt be built at all. This means that peple wh need medical care in the area may nt have access t it. （另一个影响是搭便车问题可能导致人们无法获得重要商品和服务的情况。这是因为如果太多人免费乘车，供应商可能无法收回提供商品或服务的成本。想象一下，一个城市决定通过捐赠建立一所新医院。如果太多的人依靠别人来捐赠，而不是自己捐赠，那么医院可能根本就建不起来。这意味着该地区需要医疗服务的人可能无法获得医疗服务）”可知，第三段通过举例说明了免费搭车问题的一个影响，即假设一个城市试图通过捐赠建立新医院的情景来阐述如果太多人期望他人捐款而非自己行动，可能会导致医院建不成的结果。因此，该段落主要通过举例子展开论述。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Free-riding means peple can benefit frm a service withut paying anything. It als arises if peple can get benefit withut making equal cntributins.
