Just Scream! a hotline which was created by elementary school teacher whose name is Chris Gollmar aimed to reduce tension for those who need an outlet. All you had to do was call the hotline and scream as loud as you wanted.

Chris Gollmar spends his free time working on art projects that invite people to call a phone number and leave a voicemail for other people to hear. He thought that it would be funny and unique to create a phone line just for screaming，and thus he came up with the creative project in September, 2020.

After people dialed in, their calls would be recorded and then put on the website that Chris Gollmar created. “Why should 1 call you?” the website asked “To scream! You might be unhappy, terrified or frustrated. All of these are perfectly good reasons to call the hotline and scream.”

Personal phone numbers were not stored, and all calls went to an answering machine — interacting with a real person wasn’t required.

Chris Gollmar got a large number of recordings after he launched the hotline. “Never in my life would I have expected so many people to actually pick up the phone, dial a number and record themselves for the world to hear,” he said. ‘‘But we’re all screaming on the inside right now. The hotline stopped accepting calls in January, 2021. After that, Chris Gollmar said he would pick a new project to work on."

24. Chris Gollmar invented the hotline with the purpose of________.

A. responding to people’s demands B. relieving people from pressure

C creating a way of communication D. helping deal with conflicts

25. From the passage, we can infer that Chris Gollmar’s hotline was________    .

A. banned B. popular C. negative D. common

26. Compared to other common hotlines, how was Just Scream! special?

A. How the incoming calls were answered. B. Where the incoming calls were stored.

C. The time when people could get through. D. The way of dealing with the records.

27. What’s the author’s intention in writing this passage?

A. To share his or her opinion on Chris Gollmar.

B. To arouse readers’ interest in new technology.

C. To give some information on Just Scream.

D. To show how Just Scream! came into being.

Tomatoes were first planted in 700 AD by Aztecs and Incas. Explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe, where it was first mentioned in 1556. The French called it “the apple of love”，the Germans “the apple of paradise(乐园）”.

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and fiber，and are cholesterol(胆固醇）free. An average size tomato (148 grams or so) has only 35 calories. Furthermore, new medical research suggests that the consumption of lycopene(番茄红素) ，the stuff that makes tomatoes red，may prevent cancer. Besides, the fruit now appears to have two more health giving benefits. Protection against sunburn and helping keep the skin looking youthful are the latest pluses, a study has found.

Professor Mark Birch-Machin said tomatoes could provide a cheap and easy way of improving health. Researchers at Manchester and Newcastle universities recommend two tomato-based meals a day for health. Possible menus include a glass of tomato juice with breakfast and a salad later or tomato soup for lunch and pasta(意大利面）with a tomato sauce for dinner.

To test the fruit’s ability to protect the skin，ten volunteers were asked to eat five tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with olive oil every day for three months. Another ten had a daily dose of olive oil - minus the tomato paste. The tests showed the tomato-eaters were a third better protected against sunburn at the end of the study than at the start the British Society for Investigative Dermatology’s annual conference heard.

The researchers stressed, however, that their findings were not an excuse to throw away the sun cream. Professor Lesley Rhodes, a Manchester University dermatologist, said: “People should not think tomatoes in any way can replace sun creams but they may be a good additive.”

28. Why does the writer talk about the history of tomatoes in Paragraph 1?

A. To lead in the topic. B. To raise a concern.

C To introduce a question. D. To make a statement.

29. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?

A. The components of tomatoes. B. The benefits of tomatoes.

C. The latest findings of tomatoes. D. The functions of tomatoes on patients.

30. What is the best way to keep the skin looking youthful?

A. Eating more tomatoes. B. Using more sun cream.

C. Staying inside as often as possible. D. Using sun cream and eating tomatoes.

31. How do the researchers test tomatoes’ ability to protect the skin against sunburn?

A. By giving an example. B. By setting up a database.

C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing possible reasons.

In the wild, monkeys need to watch out for all sorts of dangers，like leopards (豹），eagles and snakes. But the green monkeys studied by Julia Fischer of the German Primate Center have an additional challenge: they also have to scan the skies for drones (无人机). "Why do we fly a drone over green monkeys?" one may ask. The answer is that Fischer and her colleagues are interested in how monkeys communicate.

In a classic study back in the 1980s, scientists showed that African vervet monkeys (长尾黑频猴) produce alarm calls that are specific to the hunters they meet. For example，vervet monkeys hearing a leopard alarm might climb up a tree hurriedly, whereas the eagle call sends them running for cover under the closest bush.

Now，the green monkeys that live in Senegal share a similar system to warn of leopards and snakes. But they aren’t known to raise much noise in response to bird hunters. Therefore，the researchers decided to fly a drone over them. They treated 80 green monkeys to a show of drones. How did the animals react to these unfamiliar drones?  “These monkeys did respond. And they responded with alarm calls，and they responded by running away,” Fischer said.

Here’s where things get really interesting: the calls the green monkeys made after spotting the drones were different from the ones they used to signal leopards or snakes. But what's even more interesting is that when the researchers did an analysis of the sound，they found that these alarm calls were almost strangely similar to the ones of the African vervets. And the findings are described in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.

The fact that the two monkey species seem to speak similar language, even though they separated from their last common ancestor some 3 million years ago，suggests that this kind of warning system is unchanged. So if you hear a monkey make alarm calls like that, watch out for a hungry bird, or check to see if your drone has delivered your package.

32. What did the study in the 1980s find about vervet monkeys?

A. They could meet a variety of hunters in Africa.

B. They separated from their very close cousins early.

C. They could hide themselves very well from the hunters.

D. They made particular alarm calls according to the hunters.

33. How did the green monkeys respond to unfamiliar drones?

A. By shouting and climbing up trees. B. By making noises and playing dead

C. By sending alarms and running away. D. By hiding themselves under shelters.

34. What does the underlined part “the sound” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. The alarm calls green monkeys made after spotting the drones.

B. The alarm calls the African vervets made after spotting the drones.

C. The alarm calls green monkeys used to signal leopards or snakes.

D. The alarm calls the African vervets used to signal leopards or snakes.

35. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Survival of the Fittest— the Choice of Nature

B. The Application of Drones in Scientific Studies

C. Green Monkeys and Their Habits Are Back to Nature Finally

D. Green Monkeys and Their Cousins May Share Similar Language
