The UK gvernment has nt annunced any plans t encurage the use f trains, despite the seriusness f the climate crisis and the damage petrl and diesel cars cause.

Elephants’ imprtant rle in maintaining bidiversity and healthy ecsystems has earned them varius names including ecsystem engineers and frest gardeners. Hwever, African frest elephants—a species living in the rainfrests f central Africa—are increasingly recgnized by anther name: “climate heres”.
African frest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbn strage in their frest habitats, meaning they help remve heat-trapping CO, frm the atmsphere. They d this by influencing the frest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance f plant species. It’s estimated that ne frest elephant can increase the net carbn capture （捕获） capacity f the frest by almst 250 acres. This is equal t remving frm the atmsphere a year’s wrth f emissins （排放量） frm 2.047 cars.
“As strange as it seems, all that eating and destructin help the frest pull mre carbn ut f the air,” says Alisn Pearce Stevens in the bk Animal Climate Heres! Elephants eat mre than 400 punds f fd a day, s they spend a lt f time searching fr fd. As they walk thrugh the frest, they d a lt f damage t the surrunding smaller trees, leading t the survival f trees that have the ability t absrb and stre mre C2.
In additin, their thirst fr fruits als helps t prmte frest grwth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In ther wrds, the seeds pass thrugh the elephant bdies until they drp back t the frest flr.
But African frest elephants are seriusly endangered and cntinue t face threats. These mainly cme frm hunting fr the illegal internatinal trade in elephant ivry （象牙）, but als frm habitat lss and fewer fd surces. The number f frest elephants fell by mre than 86% ver a perid f 31 years, and their habitats are thught t have reduced by 75%. Prtecting frest elephants and the frests they depend n means we are safeguarding their eclgical cntributins that we all rely n.
28. Hw d African frest elephants help relieve climate change?
A. They increase the diversity f wildlife species.
B. They help t maintain the plants f the frest.
C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 frm the atmsphere.
D. They prmte the net carbn capture ability f the frest.
29. What des the underlined wrd “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Cnsume,B. Spread.C. Preserve.D. Gather.
30. What are the threats facing African frest elephants?
A. Natural disasters resulting frm climate change.
B. The disturbed balance f the frest ecsystem.
C. Illegal hunting and habitat lss.
D. Cmpetitin fr water surces with ther animals.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. New Rle f African Frest Elephants: Climate Heres
B. Ivry Trade Threatens African Frest Elephants
C. Preserving Frests: Elephants’ Cntributin
D. Frest Elephants Are Appraching the Edge f Extinctin

Space engineers frm the University f Glasgw have published new research shwing hw reflectrs （反射器） placed in rbit arund Earth culd increase the utput f future large scale slar farms by reflecting additinal sunlight tward them even after the sun has set.
In their paper, the researchers described hw they used advanced cmputer mdels t help determine the mst effective methd f using rbiting slar reflectrs t prduce additinal pwer. Their mdels shwed that putting 20 thin reflectrs int rbit 1.000kilmeters frm Earth culd reflect sunlight t slar farms fr an extra tw hurs each day n average. The additinal sunlight culd increase the utput f the wrld’s future slar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The utput culd be scaled up further by adding mre reflectrs r increasing their size.
The team develped an algrithm （算法） t determine hw the reflectrs culd be arranged t catch the sun’s rays mst effectively, maximizing the additinal sunlight reflected t slar farms arund Earth in the early mrning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectrs culd prduce an extra 728 MWh f electricity per day equal t adding and additinal large slar pwer farm t Earth withut the cst f cnstructin.
Dr. Onur Celik, ne authr f the paper, said. “Slar pwer has the ptential t speed ur race t reach net-zer, helping us t relieve the glbal impacts f climate change by reducing ur reliance n fssil fuels.” Mrever, the price f slar panels （太阳能电池板） has drpped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace f their adptin and paving the way fr the creatin f large slar farms arund the wrld.
One f the majr limitatins f slar pwer, f curse, is that it can nly be generated during daylight hurs. Putting rbiting slar reflectrs in space wuld help t maximize the effectiveness f slar farms in the years t cme. Strategically placing new slar farms in lcatins which receive the mst additinal sunlight frm the reflectrs culd make them even mre effective.
32. What is the purpse f placing reflectrs in space?
A. T increase the prductin f slar pwer.
B. T prduce electricity fr agricultural use.
C. T bring the effects f climate change under cntrl.
D. T imprve cmmunicatin between Earth and space.
33. What may cntribute t the applicatin f large-scale slar farms?
A. The increased demand fr electricity.
B. The develpment f space technlgy.
C. The decrease in the cst f slar panels.
D. The requirement t preserve the envirnment.
34. What can be inferred abut the future f slar farms?
A. They’ll replace fssil fuels cmpletely.
B. They’ll rely mainly n rbiting reflectrs fr sunlight.
C. They’ll becme the primary surce f energy.
D. They’ll be mre cst-effective and efficient.
35. Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?
A. A plicy brief.B. A news reprt. C. A marketing brchure.D. A maths website.
