Tait’s jurney t being a baking kid began back in2018 when, aged 14, she was struck dwn by mental illness. With medicatin and therapy（疗法）， and under the guidance f parents, Tait began explring activities that might help her find a path thrugh the daily anxiety attacks and depressin. Gardening, drawing, knitting were amng the things she tried. But nthing quite seemed t last lng enugh r give her a sense f hpe r delight.
A turning pint came when his father Alex clipped a simple bread recipe frm a magazine. When he read it, Tait felt excited and gt stuck in. The effect was nthing shrt f magic.
"Baking filled my time and put me in a really calm state, but it als gave me a huge sense f purpse when all I really felt like was a burden," she says.
Tait’s newfund zeal rapidly capped her family’s appetite fr bread, s she began gifting her bread t lucky lcals in her hme twn. Wrd quickly spread and the free bread turned int a paid-fr subscriptin service. Alex quit his jb as a tutr t becme his daughter’s business partner, and after pening several successful pp-up stres（快闪店）， the pair drew n their glbal scial media fllwing t crwd fund a brick-and-mrtar stre in 2019.
It was an instant success, selling ut daily and she wrte a bk. Hwever, ensuring lng-term viability（生存能力） wuld have meant scaling up in a way that neither father nr daughter liked. S instead, after fur years f 5 am starts and 12- hur days, they shut up shp last summer.
Tait has since scaled back t basics, selling her bakes at twice-weekly pp-up stre. She runs the Orange Bakery frm a Watlingtn’s abandned factry, which is als the center fr Breaducating Britain. S far they have distributed arund 40,000 free bread kits thrugh mre than 200 different rganisatins t schls, prisns and individuals.

Archaelgists have uncvered evidence that an Abriginal ritual（仪式） may have been passed dwn 500 generatins and survived 12,000 years, making it the ldest knwn cntinuus cultural practice in the wrld.
While investigating Clggs Cave in Australia, researchers fund a piece f wd sticking ut f the grund. They cut it, and used carbn dating t determine that it’s abut 12,000 years ld. "12,000-year-ld artifacts dn’t survive in the grund fr that lng. Nrmally they just break dwn," said Brun David, a prfessr at Mnash
University in Australia.
They als uncvered anther wden stick which, thugh 1,000 years yunger, was remarkably similar. Bth sticks were spread with animal r human fat, fund next t small fireplaces, and bth had been fleetingly burnt.
David and his clleagues were apprached in2017 by the GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Abriginal Crpratin（GLaWAC）， which represents the GunaiKurnai peple, t investigate the archaelgical evidence f this ritual, which had previusly been dcumented by the 19th- century gelgist Alfred Hwitt.
Hwitt detailed this ritual in his bk. He wrte that the ritual wuld seek t help the sick peple recver quickly by finding smething belnging t the subject, attaching it t a thrwing stick alng with animal fat. The stick was then stuck in the grund befre a fire, and it is placed in such a psitin that by-and-by it falls dwn.
Excavatins（挖掘） that tk place 50 years ag withut cnsulting the GunaiKurnai peple uncvered the small fireplaces arund which these rituals centered, but researchers didn’t analyze the wden sticks in any significant detail.
As well as dating and determining the use f these sticks, archaelgists als cncluded that the caves were used almst specifically as a ritual site. This finding matches with the current GunaiKurnai knwledge. "Nwhere else n Earth has archaelgical evidence f a very specific cultural practice whse perfrmance is knwn frm elders and has previusly been tracked s far back in time," said David.
28． Hw did Brun David feel when mentining the finding?
A.Dubtful.
B.Surprised.
C.Cnfident.
D.Satisfied.
29． Why did David and his clleagues investigate Clggs Cave?
A.T find evidence f a dcumented ritual.
B.T prve the wisdm f Abriginal peple.
C.T determine the age f an ethnic minrity.
D.T uncver the secret f sme buried sticks.
30． What d we knw abut the ritual frm the text?
A.It was carried ut arund after a big fire.
B.It was perfrmed t heal the sick peple.
C.It was frgtten by the GunaiKurnai peple.
D.It regained public attentin in the 20th century.
31． What is a suitable title fr the text?
A.Wrld’s Oldest Ritual Dates S Far back in Time
B.Sme Sticks Determine the Rich Cultural Practice
C.Scientists Have Prved Hwitt’s Descriptin f a Ritual
D.Archaelgists Try t Determine the Use f Sme Sticks
The pllutants in the sky cause ugly stains n buildings. T beat this, chemists have been wrking fr years n a paint that can clean itself and remve pllutants frm the air.
This technlgy uses nanparticles（纳米颗粒） that start chemical reactins. When an artificial UV（紫外线） light surce shines n the paint, the nanparticles react with pllutants t break them dwn, remving them frm nearby air. Cmpanies already ffer these phtcatalytic（光催化的） paints, but sme chemists remain cautius abut the prducts’ effectiveness and sustainability.
Fr a recent study, researchers created a new phtcatalytic paint using UV rays frm rdinary sunlight, making its self-cleaning prperties easier t activate. They’ve als shwn they can effectively prduce this paint frm recycled materials frm industry and als using fallen leaves, which are rganic waste.
UV light excites the electrns in the nanparticles, which interact with water in the air t prduce highly reactive chemicals which attack pllutants cming in cntact with the paint, changing them int less harmful substances such as water. The research team added nitrgen, carbn and ther elements t the nanparticles’ structure, which reduced the amunt f energy needed t perfrm the reactin and let it wrk via rdinary sunlight. In labratry tests, these imprved nanparticles remved up t 96% f tested pllutants added t the paint’s surface.
"It is better t be able t use slar light t activate, as the paint can wrk by itself," says Antni, a chemist in Spain. But a real-wrld setting wuld prbably reduce its effectiveness, he adds. "Under labratry cnditins, it is a small scale, and everything is cntrlled, such as temperature, humidity, r the cncentratin f pllutants, but yu’ll never get thse results at a real scale."
The study authrs stress that this wrk is just an initial step in their research. Future research will cnfirm hw effectively pllutants are remved. "We dn’t claim that we can remve all pllutants frm the air," Antni says, "but it lks prmising."
32． What makes sme chemists dubtful abut the phtcatalytic paints?
A.Hw the UV light can be prduced.
B.When the chemical reactins set ff.
C.Whether the prducts are sustainable.
D.What they can d t remve the dirt.
33． What’s the purpse f adding nitrgen int the nanparticles?
A.T reduce the energy needed fr the reactin.
B.T make them less harmful t the envirnment.
C.T get mre pllutants in cntact with the paint.
D.T test slar light as a mtivatr n a large scale.
34． Hw des Antni evaluate the research?
A.It’s a big step t clean stains n buildings.
B.It shuld be perfrmed in varius cnditins.
C.It ffers a way t remve utdr pllutants.
D.It shuld fcus n the recycling f the paints.
35． What is the text mainly abut?
A.New paint has been prved green.
B.Green paint makes walls beautiful.
C.Sun-activated paint cleans walls.
D.Ways are fund t imprve air quality.

"Did yu write yur thank-yu ntes?" I asked my sn, Jn. "Nt yet, Mm," Jn replied, rlling his eyes. "I’ll d it when I get back frm Jim’s huse."

Jn had just finished interviewing with his first- chice cmpany. It was a rare pprtunity cnsidering that jbs were in shrt supply. After an hur, Jn came ut f his rm and handed ver eight thank-yu ntes.

But if it makes yu happy, then it’s wrth it." Jn was twenty-ne years ld, and I felt flish telling a grwn man what t d, but I als didn’t want him living in ur basement fr the rest f his life！
Ten days after the thank-yu ntes were mailed, Jn received a call frm the cmpany that he had interviewed with.

"I’m srry t disappint yu, but they nly give yu a call when yu get the jb." I explained.
Fr days, Jn had been wrried that his schl lans wuld be due after graduatin and that he didn’t have a jb lined up. He had thrughly cnvinced himself that he didn’t get the jb, but I knew better.

52．答案： used； categries； which； intensely； having； was； valuable； fr； is dried； a
解析： ①考查非谓语动词。此句已经有谓语动词is,因此此空用非谓语动词。term和use是被动关系,因此用过去分词。
②考查名词复数。ther fish肯定不止一个品种,因此用categry的复数形式。
③考查定语从句。主句已经有谓语动词are,因此后面部分只能作为定语从句,先行词是Caspian Sea caviar, which 引导非限制性定语从句并且在定语从句中作介词的宾语。
④考查副词。此空修饰形容词black,因此用其副词形式intensely。
⑤考查非谓语动词。此句已经有谓语动词is,而且Beluga和have之间是主动关系,因此用现在分词。
⑥考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语"In the ld days"及主语caviar可知,此处应用第三人称单数形式,且为一般过去时。
⑦考查形容词。根据句意及空前的"mst"可知,此处应用提示词的形容词形式。
⑧考查介词。sell fr"售价"。这是固定词组。
⑨考查时态语态。主语it是第三人称单数形式,和dry 之间是被动关系,而且用于条件状语从句,是一般性表述,因此用一般现在时的被动语态。
⑩考查冠词。system 是可数名词的单数,此处表示泛指,而且labeling是辅音音素开头,因此用不定冠词a。
