With an abundance f sun and wind, Spain is psitining itself as Eurpe’s future leader in green hydrgen prductin t clean up heavy industries. But sme energy experts express cautin because this prcess relies n massive availability f zer-carbn electricity.
Green hydrgen is created when renewable energy surces pwer an electrical current that runs thrugh water, separating its hydrgen and xygen mlecules (分子). The prcess desn’t prduce planet-warming carbn dixide, but less than 0.1% f glbal hydrgen prductin is currently created in this way.
The separated hydrgen can be used in the prductin f steel, ammnia (氨) and chemical prducts, all f which require industrial prcesses that are harder t stp fssil fuels. Hydrgen als can be used as a transprtatin fuel, which culd ne day transfrm the highly plluting shipping and aviatin sectrs.
Spain’s large, windswept and thinly ppulated territry receives mre than 2,500 hurs f sunshine n average per year, prviding ideal cnditins fr wind and slar energy, and therefre green hydrgen prductin.
“If yu lk at where hydrgen is ging t be prduced in Eurpe in the next millin years, it’s in tw cuntries, Spain and Prtugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the funder and president f HyDeal Ambitin, an industry platfrm bringing tgether 30 cmpanies. “Hydrgen is the new il.”
Lepercq is wrking with cmpanies like Spanish gas pipeline crpratin Enagas and glbal steel giant ArcelrMittal t design an end-t-end mdel fr hydrgen prductin, distributin and supply at a cmpetitive price. Criticism has centered n green hydrgen’s higher cst cmpared with highly-plluting “gray hydrgen” drawn frm natural gas. Lepercq argues that slar energy prduced in Spain is priced lw enugh t cmpete.
Glbally, Lepercq said, “Electricity is 20% f energy cnsumptin. What abut the 80% that is nt electrified? ... Yu need t replace thse fssil fuels. Nt in 50 years’ time. Yu need t replace them nw.”
1．Why are sme experts cautius abut green hydrgen prductin in Spain?
A．It needs large amunts f sun and wind.B．It has an effect n heavy industries.
C．It causes cnflicts amng cuntries.D．It uses lts f zer-carbn electricity.
2．What is the advantage f green hydrgen prductin in Spain?
A．Ideal gegraphical cnditins.B．The supprt frm gvernment.
C．Hydrgen prductin technlgy.D．Well-develped public transprts.
3．What can be inferred abut green hydrgen in Spain accrding t Lepercq?
A．It is highly priced.B．It is easy t stre.
C．It is cmpetitive.D．It is highly-plluting.
4．What is the passage mainly abut?
A．Spain manages t use zer-carbn electricity.B．Spain struggles t lead EU in heavy industry.
C．Spain takes the lead in preventing air pllutin.D．Spain replaces fssil fuel with green hydrgen.

When yu enjy yur mrning cup f tea, yu are prbably nt aware that thse tea leaves can mean injury, r even death, fr Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens.
In the Indian state f Assam, grwing numbers f tea farms are destrying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their ppulatin. Much f the frest land where tea is grwn in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches r small channels t prevent water frm accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, hwever, can be death traps fr the elephants.
Since the elephants need t use tea plantatins as landmarks when traveling in frests, they almst unavidably have t mve thrugh the farms. Mrever, because there are fewer humans arund, pregnant females ften use tea-grwing areas as safe shelters t give birth. But baby elephants, still nt used t rugh grund may easily fall int the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might nt be able t climb ut. When mthers try t dig their babies ut, bth may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermre, elephants are knwn t resist leaving their sick r dying behind, and a grup may stay at a trench with a trapped baby fr hurs, unwilling t mve n until all hpe is lst.
Is there pssibility fr elephants t live in harmny with the bming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an rganizatin that takes the initiative t make it pssible. The rganizatin encurages cnsumers t chse brands that take an active part in elephants prtectin, and has established a certificatin prgram t reward tea grwers wh are ding it right. Until nw, nly smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is grwing. The rganizatin believes that peple may be encuraged t buy elephant-friendly brands when they knw mre abut the risk tea can cause t these endangered animals.
5．Why d farmers in Assam dig trenches?
A．T trap elephants.B．T mark bundaries.
C．T prtect tea trees.D．T expand tea farms.
6．What can we say abut baby elephants?
A．They get stuck by the sharp branches f the tea trees.
B．They have difficulty mving arund the uneven fields.

Sme peple say that the planet is getting smaller, that there are few places left t explre, and that the age f explratin will be ver sn.
I wuld argue instead that there has never been a greater need t explre. That’s because the stage fr all explratin is the natural wrld, and nature is experiencing a rapid decline. It is by explring that we understand and when we understand we develp an appreciatin fr what is fund. Ultimately, nly the things we appreciate are wrth prtecting.
As the glden age f explratin weakens, s des the richness f life n Earth. It isn’t just that there are fewer blank areas n the map; it is that wild places and spaces have been prgressively carved up (瓜分). Visiting the Okavang Delta r Kalahari Desert, fr example, n lnger implies a self-supprted expeditin. Field statins pp up in imprtant natinal parks and remte sensing by satellite becmes cmmnplace.
In the next century, I believe we will need larger and wilder areas. We will need the wilderness, nt just fr the prtectin f it, but because it is an imprtant part f the ecsystems frm which we gain ur necessities like clean water, fd and materials. If we succeed, then expeditins — brief travels int the wild that seek t answer questins, mnitr ppulatins, and inspire actin — will have a renewed sense f purpse. Mre imprtantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.
Based n my wn research expeditin which aims t understand “edge effects” — hw the changes in temperature at frest edges impact animals, I find it imprtant that tday’s scientists cntinue t spend time in the field. It is here that they begin t understand hw seemingly unrelated envirnmental interactins influence their study system. Smetimes, it’s difficult t knw which is imprtant t measure until yu stand ut there n the frest edge.
It is the yung generatin that is the main frce t lead the next wave f expeditins. The measure f their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places fr expeditins in the future. Their leadership is needed nw, mre than ever.
1．What’s the purpse f this text?
A．T suggest understanding nature by keeping explring.
B．T advise peple nt t travel t unknwn places.
C．T infrm us abut the reduced bidiversity.
D．T call n the public t supprt the study.
2．What can we knw abut the expeditin in wild spaces frm Paragraph 3?
A．It is difficult fr explrers t make prgress.
B．It is mre accessible with the help f technlgy.
C．It prmtes the develpment f satellite technlgy.
D．It requires explrers t take sufficient heavy equipment.
3．What des the underlined part “pp up” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Appear unexpectedly.B．Clse temprarily.
C．Develp quickly.D．Differ greatly.
4．What des the authr realize after his research expeditin?

Fr years, learning t speak Cantnese was nt that hard in San Francisc. It is a place where Cantnese speakers frm Suth China have mved fr ver 150 years. But nw, there is fear that the Cantnese language and culture might nt survive present scial changes. Cantnese is spken by sme 85 millin peple wrldwide. In cmparisn, there are arund 1 billin Mandarin (r Putnghua) speakers.
In Britain, as in the U. S., mst schls that ffer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling t find ways t pass n their Cantnese language and culture. Ceci Pang runs classes fr children at Rainbw Seeds Cantnese Schl in Lndn. “Many parents want their kids t be able t cmmunicate with their grandparents,” she said. “It’s just s hard here, there are s few learning resurces and lts f parents get upset. That’s usually the pint the parents cme t me.”
In China, there are Cantnese televisin prgrams as well as Cantnese annuncements n public transprt. In Hng Kng, hwever, Cantnese remains the city’s tp language. It is used by 90 percent f the ppulatin accrding t an assistant prfessr at the Educatin University f Hng Kng.
It is a different stry in the U. S. The teaching f Cantnese has decreased smewhat, including in San Francisc, a city that has drawn many Cantnese speakers ver the years. The San Francisc schl system has Cantnese and Mandarin prgrams fr yunger students. But in high schl, Mandarin is the nly Chinese language available. This spring, sme independent Chinese schls are helping t teach the language as Cantnese-speaking cmmunities grw. Aleyda Pe has been managing the Cantnese kindergarten at Merit Chinese Schl in Plan, Texas, fr mre than 10 years.

Have yu ever fancied a tennis lessn frm ne f the wrld’s greatest tennis players at yur lcal curt?
This dream came true fr tw yung players, wh gt t train with 20-year-ld superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hlgram—a phtgraphic recrding f the image. While Sam Clague, 14, and Diamnd Paisley, 12, were bth in Lndn, the British number ne was in Abu Dhabi.
During the wrld’s first hlgraphic lessn, Ms Raducanu’s avatar appeared t feed balls t the players and gave live feedback n their shts, like “that was fast and there was lts f tpspin n that”. Even Sam said he thught she had been prerecrded at first until she spke with him directly.
Their hlgraphic training sessin ffers a glimpse int hw advancing technlgy culd revlutinize tennis caching, accrding t Dr Ian Pearsn.
Dr Pearsn thinks that mixed reality headsets will sn allw tennis players t feel they are playing in unusual virtual envirnments, like n a space statin r the middle f a lake Thrugh 5G, the future f tennis will see increased interactin between real life tennis curts and the rich imaginatin we see in cmputer games-playing whenever, wherever and whever yu want.
Full sensry virtual reality culd even place the viewer inside the tennis player’s shes in real time. Dr Pearsn said: “By 2030, with active skin technlgy, the playing styles and even the sensatins f tp-level players culd be captured, s that anyne culd experience hw it actually felt t play that game thrugh full sensry virtual reality.”
Finally, sprtswear made frm smart materials culd allw fr a digital cach pwered by artificial intelligence (AI) t prvide feedback n a player’s frm. Dr Pearsn said: “Al-cntrlled suits made frm smart materials, such as fabrics with sensrs, can help players find the perfect strke when hitting r returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memry f a flawless frehand. Using direct feedback frm friendly virtual AI caches, new players can develp and learn much mre quickly.”

Chemicals taken frm sawdust (锯屑) and water can knck ut mre than 99 percent f sme disease-causing micrbes (微生物). That makes the sawdust mix a ptential alternative t current micrbe-killing chemicals.
Many disinfectants (消毒剂) used tday can harm the envirnment. They frm pisnus by-prducts when they get washed. Sme ptentially greener disinfectants exist. They rely n a chemical called “phenl (苯酚)”. But these cleaners can be cstly and take a lt f energy t make.
Shicheng Zhang went searching fr a better ptin. He’s an envirnmental engineer at Fudan University in Shanghai, China. Wd cntains many mlecules (分子) that lk like phenl. S Zhang wndered if micrbe-killing chemicals culd be btained frm sawdust thrugh a lw-cst and lw-energy prcess.
He and his fellw researchers cked mixtures f water and sawdust fr ne hur. They heated this sawdust sup under pressure, and then filtered it. Later, they tested hw well the liquid killed ff micrbes. This liquid wiped ut E.cli bacteria—micrbes that can cause fd pisning. The liquid als killed anthrax bacteria. These micrbes cause dangerus infectins. What’s mre, the disinfectant stpped flu viruses frm being infectius.
The researchers als added different amunts f water t the sawdust sup. That let them test hw cncentrated it had t be t knck ut micrbes. Depending n its cncentratin, the mix culd kill mre than 99 percent f the micrbes.
Lking at killed micrbes under a micrscpe revealed sme f the ways the sawdust mix kills. The disinfectant damaged the micrbes’ cell walls. It als may have messed with the micrbes’ prteins and DNA．
Zhang and his fellw researchers didn’t stp at a sawdust disinfectant. They made disinfectants frm ther plant materials, t. Sme f these started as bamb pwder. Others were made using rice plant. Plant materials that are richer in mlecules that release phenl-like cmpunds are best at killing micrbes. One example is crn straw.
20．What may be an advantage f Zhang’s sawdust disinfectant ver existing nes?

At present, research shws that when emplyees reach the age f 50, they keep quiet abut their age. They see fewer prmtin prspects cmpared t yunger emplyees. It’s als harder t get a new jb after the age f 50.
But that is set t change. There is already skills shrtage in the wrld with nt enugh yunger peple cming int the wrkfrce. Emplyers will have t wrk harder at hiring senirs with the skills they need.
The Center fr Ageing Better ntes that we already have an lder wrkfrce and the qualities f lder peple are being mre recgnized. When teams mix lder and yunger wrkers, prductivity ges up and cmplex prblems find mre nvel slutins because the strengths and weaknesses f bth grups are balanced. Age-diversity helps slve cmplex prblems by bringing tgether a mix f ideas, skill strengths, and experiences. Older wrkers can draw n a lifetime f experience while yunger wrkers may challenge utdated strategies and bring fresh perspective. Als, senirs’ greater life experience makes them better placed t manage themselves and thers in the wrkplace cmpared with yunger emplyees.
There are five recmmendatins the Center fr Ageing Better makes, including minimizing age bias (偏见) in taking in emplyees and encuraging career develpment at all ages. The really big change that needs t cme is t stp seeing lder peple as “ther”, as different…
There are many peple in their 80s and 90s wh have never stpped wrking. They enjy what they d and like the scial aspect f wrk. But mst, frm 55 nwards chse t retire—with 25% regretting it, accrding t a recent study.
24．What des the underlined wrd “that” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A．Cmpetitin in the jb market.
B．Wrldwide skills shrtage in the wrkfrce.
C．Yunger peple’s declining prmtin prspects.
D．Older peple being at a disadvantage in wrkplaces.
25．What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A．Qualities f lder emplyees.
B．The advantages f age-diversity.
C．The challenges faced by an lder wrkfrce.
D．The cmplex prblems that call fr slutins.
26．What is the key t wrkfrce cmpsitin?
A．Minimizing age bias.
B．Giving up utdated strategies.
C．Launching career develpment prgrams.
D．Emplying peple frm different backgrunds.
27．What can be learned abut lder peple frm the last paragraph?

Stéphanie Frappart made histry n Thursday as the first wman t referee (裁判) a men’s Wrld Cup match. Alngside assistants Neuza Back frm Brazil and Karen Diaz frm Mexic, the Frenchwman was part f an all-female refereeing tri fficiating Csta Rica vs. Germany in their Grup E match.
Thrughut her career, Frappart has achieved a seemingly endless series f firsts. In April 2019, she became the first female referee t take charge f a Ligue 1 match, in August 2019, the first t take charge f a majr men’s Eurpean match, and in 2020, the first t fficiate a men’s UEFA Champins League match.
At the Wrld Cup,a referee might make 245 decisins in a single game, Sky Sprts estimates, and if just ne is wrng, it will be analyzed in micrscpic detail.
It culd alter the curse f a game, r even a team’s Wrld Cup-denying it a title r ensuring it prgresses n further in the turnament. “When yu make a mistake, it’s mre imprtant than if a player makes a mistake-there are mre cnsequences fr the teams,” Frappart says. “It’s als easy t say that it’s the fault f the referee and nt the fault f ur team when yu lse.”
Inevitably, female referees are carefully examined, as they straddle (跨越) tw traditinally male-dminated fields: ftball and leadership. “There are many questins invlved if she’s there because she’s a wman.” Frappart recalls when she made her debut in Ligue. “It’s nt nly in ftball. I think in every jb when yu’re a wman yu need t prve that yu have the quality and after that they let yu cntinue.” But as Frappart refereed mre matches, the stance twards her gradually changed. “Nw, it’s nt a questin f gender. It’s nw nly a questin abut cmpetencies.”
With wmen refereeing, the matches at the Qatar Wrld Cup bradcast t huge audiences wrldwide. Frappart knew it encuraged mre wmen t pick up a whistle and take mre and mre respnsibility. “S if yu have mre female referees n the TV perhaps it might make it easier fr wmen t say: ‘OK, this is pssible.’”
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．Frappart’s life experience.B．Frappart’s achievements.
C．Frappart’s cntributins.D．Frappart’s habits.
29．Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Frappart’s jb as a referee?
A．Creative and rewarding.B．Challenging but inspiring.
C．Difficult and meaningless.D．Easy but trublesme.
30．The underlined wrds “made her debut ” in paragraph 5 means _______ .
A．made a speechB．made full preparatins
C．made her first appearanceD．made a living
31．What can we learn abut Frappart?
A．The Qatar Wrld Cup drew huge audiences fr wmen refereeing.
B．It’s easy t put the blame fr teams’failures n referees.
C．Frappart impressed the wrld with cmpetencies in her first match.
D．In August 2019, Frappart was the first female referee in a Ligue 1 match.

Frm the mment we are brn, we interact with the wrld thrugh mvement. We mve ur lips t smile r t talk. We extend ur hand t tuch. Hw des ur brain remember this wide range f mtins? Hw des it learn new nes? Hw des it make the calculatins necessary fr us t grab a glass f water, withut drpping it, squashing it, r missing it?
Technin Prfessr Jackie Schiller frm the Ruth and Bruce Rappaprt Faculty f Medicine and her team examined the brain at a single-neurn (单神经元) level t shed light n this mystery. They fund that calculatin happens nt just in the interactin between neurns, but within each individual neurn. It turns ut that each f these cells is nt a simple switch, but a cmplicated calculating machine.
This discvery, published recently in the Science, prmises changes nt nly t ur understanding f hw the brain wrks, but better understanding f cnditins ranging frm Parkinsn’s disease t autism. And if that isn’t enugh, these same findings are expected t advance machine learning, prviding inspiratin fr new architectures.
“We used t think f each neurn as a srt f whistle, which either rings, r desn’t,” Prf. Schiller explains. “Instead, we are lking at a pian. Its keys can be struck at the same time, r in rder, prducing an infinity (无限) f different tunes.” This cmplex music playing in ur brains is what enables us t learn and perfrm an infinity f different, cmplex and precise mvements.
These same findings can als serve as an inspiratin fr the machine learning cmmunity. Deep neural netwrks, as their name suggests, attempt t create sftware that learns and functins smewhat similarly t a human brain. Althugh their advances cnstantly make the news, these netwrks are primitive cmpared t a living brain. A better understanding f hw ur brain actually wrks can help in designing mre cmplex neural netwrks, enabling them t perfrm mre cmplex tasks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has becme a fashin wrd in recent years, and its impact n sciety is grwing rapidly. AI refers t the develpment f cmputer systems that can perfrm tasks that wuld typically require human intelligence, such as learning, prblem-slving, and decisin-making. This technlgy is transfrming every industry, frm healthcare t finance, and is expected t revlutinize the future.
One area where AI is making significant strides is healthcare. AI-pwered tls can analyze vast amunts f medical data and help dctrs make mre infrmed diagnses and treatment decisins. This technlgy is particularly useful in fields such as radilgy, where AI algrithms can analyze medical images t detect abnrmalities that may be missed by human eyes.
In finance, AI is being used t analyze vast amunts f data t identify patterns and predict market trends. This technlgy can help traders make mre infrmed decisins and reduce the risks f financial lsses. Similarly, AI -pwered chatbts are being used in custmer service, helping t imprve respnse times and prvide persnalized supprt.
As the use f AI grws, cncerns abut jb displacement have als arisen. Sme fear that AI-pwered machines and rbts will replace human wrkers, leading t mass unemplyment. While this is a pssibility, it is als imprtant t nte that AI will create new jbs in fields such as data analysis, sftware develpment, and rbtics.
Anther majr cncern abut Al is the ptential fr bias and discriminatin. AI algrithms are nly as gd as the data they are trained n, and if that data cntains biases, the algrithms will als be biased. This issue is particularly cncerning in fields such as criminal justice, where AI-pwered systems are being used t make decisins abut sentencing. If these algrithms are biased, they culd make existing inequalities cntinue in the criminal justice system.
Despite these cncerns, the benefits f AI are numerus and undeniable. Hwever, t ensure that these benefits are accessible t all and t address cncerns abut bias and discriminatin, it is crucial t cntinue researching and develping mral AI.
36．Al utweighs humans in healthcare in that it .
A．stps financial risks.B．ensures precise judgement.
C．recgnizes market tendency.D．ffers persnalized services.
37．What is ne f the majr cncerns f AI?
A．New jbs will be unavailable.B．Algrithms will be ut f date.
C．Unfairness may arise in criminal justice system.D．A large number f human wrkers will be laid ff.
38．Hw des the writer mainly develp this text?
A．By stating facts and citing qutes.
B．By shwing different ideas and giving reasns.
C．By presenting influences and listing examples.
D．By cmparing research results and ffering suggestins.
39．What can be a suitable title fr the text?

With an abundance f sun and wind, Spain is psitining itself as Eurpe’s future leader in green hydrgen prductin t clean up heavy industries. But sme energy experts express cautin because this prcess relies n massive availability f zer-carbn electricity.
Green hydrgen is created when renewable energy surces pwer an electrical current that runs thrugh water, separating its hydrgen and xygen mlecules (分子). The prcess desn’t prduce planet-warming carbn dixide, but less than 0.1% f glbal hydrgen prductin is currently created in this way.
The separated hydrgen can be used in the prductin f steel, ammnia (氨) and chemical prducts, all f which require industrial prcesses that are harder t stp fssil fuels. Hydrgen als can be used as a transprtatin fuel, which culd ne day transfrm the highly plluting shipping and aviatin sectrs.
Spain’s large, windswept and thinly ppulated territry receives mre than 2,500 hurs f sunshine n average per year, prviding ideal cnditins fr wind and slar energy, and therefre green hydrgen prductin.
“If yu lk at where hydrgen is ging t be prduced in Eurpe in the next millin years, it’s in tw cuntries, Spain and Prtugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the funder and president f HyDeal Ambitin, an industry platfrm bringing tgether 30 cmpanies. “Hydrgen is the new il.”
Lepercq is wrking with cmpanies like Spanish gas pipeline crpratin Enagas and glbal steel giant ArcelrMittal t design an end-t-end mdel fr hydrgen prductin, distributin and supply at a cmpetitive price. Criticism has centered n green hydrgen’s higher cst cmpared with highly-plluting “gray hydrgen” drawn frm natural gas. Lepercq argues that slar energy prduced in Spain is priced lw enugh t cmpete.
Glbally, Lepercq said, “Electricity is 20% f energy cnsumptin. What abut the 80% that is nt electrified? ... Yu need t replace thse fssil fuels. Nt in 50 years’ time. Yu need t replace them nw.”
1．Why are sme experts cautius abut green hydrgen prductin in Spain?
A．It needs large amunts f sun and wind.B．It has an effect n heavy industries.
C．It causes cnflicts amng cuntries.D．It uses lts f zer-carbn electricity.
2．What is the advantage f green hydrgen prductin in Spain?
A．Ideal gegraphical cnditins.B．The supprt frm gvernment.
C．Hydrgen prductin technlgy.D．Well-develped public transprts.
3．What can be inferred abut green hydrgen in Spain accrding t Lepercq?
A．It is highly priced.B．It is easy t stre.
C．It is cmpetitive.D．It is highly-plluting.
4．What is the passage mainly abut?
A．Spain manages t use zer-carbn electricity.B．Spain struggles t lead EU in heavy industry.
C．Spain takes the lead in preventing air pllutin.D．Spain replaces fssil fuel with green hydrgen.

When yu enjy yur mrning cup f tea, yu are prbably nt aware that thse tea leaves can mean injury, r even death, fr Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens.
In the Indian state f Assam, grwing numbers f tea farms are destrying the Asian elephant’s habitats and endangering their ppulatin. Much f the frest land where tea is grwn in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches r small channels t prevent water frm accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, hwever, can be death traps fr the elephants.
Since the elephants need t use tea plantatins as landmarks when traveling in frests, they almst unavidably have t mve thrugh the farms. Mrever, because there are fewer humans arund, pregnant females ften use tea-grwing areas as safe shelters t give birth. But baby elephants, still nt used t rugh grund may easily fall int the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might nt be able t climb ut. When mthers try t dig their babies ut, bth may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermre, elephants are knwn t resist leaving their sick r dying behind, and a grup may stay at a trench with a trapped baby fr hurs, unwilling t mve n until all hpe is lst.
Is there pssibility fr elephants t live in harmny with the bming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an rganizatin that takes the initiative t make it pssible. The rganizatin encurages cnsumers t chse brands that take an active part in elephants prtectin, and has established a certificatin prgram t reward tea grwers wh are ding it right. Until nw, nly smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is grwing. The rganizatin believes that peple may be encuraged t buy elephant-friendly brands when they knw mre abut the risk tea can cause t these endangered animals.
5．Why d farmers in Assam dig trenches?
A．T trap elephants.B．T mark bundaries.
C．T prtect tea trees.D．T expand tea farms.
6．What can we say abut baby elephants?
A．They get stuck by the sharp branches f the tea trees.

Sme peple say that the planet is getting smaller, that there are few places left t explre, and that the age f explratin will be ver sn.
I wuld argue instead that there has never been a greater need t explre. That’s because the stage fr all explratin is the natural wrld, and nature is experiencing a rapid decline. It is by explring that we understand and when we understand we develp an appreciatin fr what is fund. Ultimately, nly the things we appreciate are wrth prtecting.
As the glden age f explratin weakens, s des the richness f life n Earth. It isn’t just that there are fewer blank areas n the map; it is that wild places and spaces have been prgressively carved up (瓜分). Visiting the Okavang Delta r Kalahari Desert, fr example, n lnger implies a self-supprted expeditin. Field statins pp up in imprtant natinal parks and remte sensing by satellite becmes cmmnplace.
In the next century, I believe we will need larger and wilder areas. We will need the wilderness, nt just fr the prtectin f it, but because it is an imprtant part f the ecsystems frm which we gain ur necessities like clean water, fd and materials. If we succeed, then expeditins — brief travels int the wild that seek t answer questins, mnitr ppulatins, and inspire actin — will have a renewed sense f purpse. Mre imprtantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.
Based n my wn research expeditin which aims t understand “edge effects” — hw the changes in temperature at frest edges impact animals, I find it imprtant that tday’s scientists cntinue t spend time in the field. It is here that they begin t understand hw seemingly unrelated envirnmental interactins influence their study system. Smetimes, it’s difficult t knw which is imprtant t measure until yu stand ut there n the frest edge.
It is the yung generatin that is the main frce t lead the next wave f expeditins. The measure f their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places fr expeditins in the future. Their leadership is needed nw, mre than ever.
1．What’s the purpse f this text?
A．T suggest understanding nature by keeping explring.
B．T advise peple nt t travel t unknwn places.
C．T infrm us abut the reduced bidiversity.
D．T call n the public t supprt the study.
2．What can we knw abut the expeditin in wild spaces frm Paragraph 3?
A．It is difficult fr explrers t make prgress.
B．It is mre accessible with the help f technlgy.
C．It prmtes the develpment f satellite technlgy.
D．It requires explrers t take sufficient heavy equipment.
3．What des the underlined part “pp up” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Appear unexpectedly.B．Clse temprarily.
C．Develp quickly.D．Differ greatly.
4．What des the authr realize after his research expeditin?

Fr years, learning t speak Cantnese was nt that hard in San Francisc. It is a place where Cantnese speakers frm Suth China have mved fr ver 150 years. But nw, there is fear that the Cantnese language and culture might nt survive present scial changes. Cantnese is spken by sme 85 millin peple wrldwide. In cmparisn, there are arund 1 billin Mandarin (r Putnghua) speakers.
In Britain, as in the U. S., mst schls that ffer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling t find ways t pass n their Cantnese language and culture. Ceci Pang runs classes fr children at Rainbw Seeds Cantnese Schl in Lndn. “Many parents want their kids t be able t cmmunicate with their grandparents,” she said. “It’s just s hard here, there are s few learning resurces and lts f parents get upset. That’s usually the pint the parents cme t me.”
In China, there are Cantnese televisin prgrams as well as Cantnese annuncements n public transprt. In Hng Kng, hwever, Cantnese remains the city’s tp language. It is used by 90 percent f the ppulatin accrding t an assistant prfessr at the Educatin University f Hng Kng.
It is a different stry in the U. S. The teaching f Cantnese has decreased smewhat, including in San Francisc, a city that has drawn many Cantnese speakers ver the years. The San Francisc schl system has Cantnese and Mandarin prgrams fr yunger students. But in high schl, Mandarin is the nly Chinese language available. This spring, sme independent Chinese schls are helping t teach the language as Cantnese-speaking cmmunities grw.

Have yu ever fancied a tennis lessn frm ne f the wrld’s greatest tennis players at yur lcal curt?
This dream came true fr tw yung players, wh gt t train with 20-year-ld superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hlgram—a phtgraphic recrding f the image. While Sam Clague, 14, and Diamnd Paisley, 12, were bth in Lndn, the British number ne was in Abu Dhabi.
During the wrld’s first hlgraphic lessn, Ms Raducanu’s avatar appeared t feed balls t the players and gave live feedback n their shts, like “that was fast and there was lts f tpspin n that”. Even Sam said he thught she had been prerecrded at first until she spke with him directly.
Their hlgraphic training sessin ffers a glimpse int hw advancing technlgy culd revlutinize tennis caching, accrding t Dr Ian Pearsn.
Dr Pearsn thinks that mixed reality headsets will sn allw tennis players t feel they are playing in unusual virtual envirnments, like n a space statin r the middle f a lake Thrugh 5G, the future f tennis will see increased interactin between real life tennis curts and the rich imaginatin we see in cmputer games-playing whenever, wherever and whever yu want.
Full sensry virtual reality culd even place the viewer inside the tennis player’s shes in real time. Dr Pearsn said: “By 2030, with active skin technlgy, the playing styles and even the sensatins f tp-level players culd be captured, s that anyne culd experience hw it actually felt t play that game thrugh full sensry virtual reality.”
Finally, sprtswear made frm smart materials culd allw fr a digital cach pwered by artificial intelligence (AI) t prvide feedback n a player’s frm. Dr Pearsn said: “Al-cntrlled suits made frm smart materials, such as fabrics with sensrs, can help players find the perfect strke when hitting r returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memry f a flawless frehand. Using direct feedback frm friendly virtual AI caches, new players can develp and learn much mre quickly.”

Chemicals taken frm sawdust (锯屑) and water can knck ut mre than 99 percent f sme disease-causing micrbes (微生物). That makes the sawdust mix a ptential alternative t current micrbe-killing chemicals.
Many disinfectants (消毒剂) used tday can harm the envirnment. They frm pisnus by-prducts when they get washed. Sme ptentially greener disinfectants exist. They rely n a chemical called “phenl (苯酚)”. But these cleaners can be cstly and take a lt f energy t make.
Shicheng Zhang went searching fr a better ptin. He’s an envirnmental engineer at Fudan University in Shanghai, China. Wd cntains many mlecules (分子) that lk like phenl. S Zhang wndered if micrbe-killing chemicals culd be btained frm sawdust thrugh a lw-cst and lw-energy prcess.
He and his fellw researchers cked mixtures f water and sawdust fr ne hur. They heated this sawdust sup under pressure, and then filtered it. Later, they tested hw well the liquid killed ff micrbes. This liquid wiped ut E.cli bacteria—micrbes that can cause fd pisning. The liquid als killed anthrax bacteria. These micrbes cause dangerus infectins. What’s mre, the disinfectant stpped flu viruses frm being infectius.
The researchers als added different amunts f water t the sawdust sup. That let them test hw cncentrated it had t be t knck ut micrbes. Depending n its cncentratin, the mix culd kill mre than 99 percent f the micrbes.
Lking at killed micrbes under a micrscpe revealed sme f the ways the sawdust mix kills. The disinfectant damaged the micrbes’ cell walls. It als may have messed with the micrbes’ prteins and DNA．
Zhang and his fellw researchers didn’t stp at a sawdust disinfectant. They made disinfectants frm ther plant materials, t. Sme f these started as bamb pwder. Others were made using rice plant. Plant materials that are richer in mlecules that release phenl-like cmpunds are best at killing micrbes. One example is crn straw.

At present, research shws that when emplyees reach the age f 50, they keep quiet abut their age. They see fewer prmtin prspects cmpared t yunger emplyees. It’s als harder t get a new jb after the age f 50.
But that is set t change. There is already skills shrtage in the wrld with nt enugh yunger peple cming int the wrkfrce. Emplyers will have t wrk harder at hiring senirs with the skills they need.
The Center fr Ageing Better ntes that we already have an lder wrkfrce and the qualities f lder peple are being mre recgnized. When teams mix lder and yunger wrkers, prductivity ges up and cmplex prblems find mre nvel slutins because the strengths and weaknesses f bth grups are balanced. Age-diversity helps slve cmplex prblems by bringing tgether a mix f ideas, skill strengths, and experiences. Older wrkers can draw n a lifetime f experience while yunger wrkers may challenge utdated strategies and bring fresh perspective. Als, senirs’ greater life experience makes them better placed t manage themselves and thers in the wrkplace cmpared with yunger emplyees.
There are five recmmendatins the Center fr Ageing Better makes, including minimizing age bias (偏见) in taking in emplyees and encuraging career develpment at all ages. The really big change that needs t cme is t stp seeing lder peple as “ther”, as different…

Stéphanie Frappart made histry n Thursday as the first wman t referee (裁判) a men’s Wrld Cup match. Alngside assistants Neuza Back frm Brazil and Karen Diaz frm Mexic, the Frenchwman was part f an all-female refereeing tri fficiating Csta Rica vs. Germany in their Grup E match.
Thrughut her career, Frappart has achieved a seemingly endless series f firsts. In April 2019, she became the first female referee t take charge f a Ligue 1 match, in August 2019, the first t take charge f a majr men’s Eurpean match, and in 2020, the first t fficiate a men’s UEFA Champins League match.
At the Wrld Cup,a referee might make 245 decisins in a single game, Sky Sprts estimates, and if just ne is wrng, it will be analyzed in micrscpic detail.
It culd alter the curse f a game, r even a team’s Wrld Cup-denying it a title r ensuring it prgresses n further in the turnament. “When yu make a mistake, it’s mre imprtant than if a player makes a mistake-there are mre cnsequences fr the teams,” Frappart says. “It’s als easy t say that it’s the fault f the referee and nt the fault f ur team when yu lse.”
Inevitably, female referees are carefully examined, as they straddle (跨越) tw traditinally male-dminated fields: ftball and leadership. “There are many questins invlved if she’s there because she’s a wman.” Frappart recalls when she made her debut in Ligue. “It’s nt nly in ftball. I think in every jb when yu’re a wman yu need t prve that yu have the quality and after that they let yu cntinue.” But as Frappart refereed mre matches, the stance twards her gradually changed. “Nw, it’s nt a questin f gender. It’s nw nly a questin abut cmpetencies.”
With wmen refereeing, the matches at the Qatar Wrld Cup bradcast t huge audiences wrldwide. Frappart knew it encuraged mre wmen t pick up a whistle and take mre and mre respnsibility. “S if yu have mre female referees n the TV perhaps it might make it easier fr wmen t say: ‘OK, this is pssible.’”
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．Frappart’s life experience.B．Frappart’s achievements.
C．Frappart’s cntributins.D．Frappart’s habits.
29．Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Frappart’s jb as a referee?
A．Creative and rewarding.B．Challenging but inspiring.
C．Difficult and meaningless.D．Easy but trublesme.
30．The underlined wrds “made her debut ” in paragraph 5 means _______ .
A．made a speechB．made full preparatins
C．made her first appearanceD．made a living
31．What can we learn abut Frappart?
A．The Qatar Wrld Cup drew huge audiences fr wmen refereeing.
B．It’s easy t put the blame fr teams’failures n referees.
C．Frappart impressed the wrld with cmpetencies in her first match.
D．In August 2019, Frappart was the first female referee in a Ligue 1 match.

Frm the mment we are brn, we interact with the wrld thrugh mvement. We mve ur lips t smile r t talk. We extend ur hand t tuch. Hw des ur brain remember this wide range f mtins? Hw des it learn new nes? Hw des it make the calculatins necessary fr us t grab a glass f water, withut drpping it, squashing it, r missing it?
Technin Prfessr Jackie Schiller frm the Ruth and Bruce Rappaprt Faculty f Medicine and her team examined the brain at a single-neurn (单神经元) level t shed light n this mystery. They fund that calculatin happens nt just in the interactin between neurns, but within each individual neurn. It turns ut that each f these cells is nt a simple switch, but a cmplicated calculating machine.
This discvery, published recently in the Science, prmises changes nt nly t ur understanding f hw the brain wrks, but better understanding f cnditins ranging frm Parkinsn’s disease t autism. And if that isn’t enugh, these same findings are expected t advance machine learning, prviding inspiratin fr new architectures.
“We used t think f each neurn as a srt f whistle, which either rings, r desn’t,” Prf. Schiller explains. “Instead, we are lking at a pian. Its keys can be struck at the same time, r in rder, prducing an infinity (无限) f different tunes.” This cmplex music playing in ur brains is what enables us t learn and perfrm an infinity f different, cmplex and precise mvements.
These same findings can als serve as an inspiratin fr the machine learning cmmunity. Deep neural netwrks, as their name suggests, attempt t create sftware that learns and functins smewhat similarly t a human brain. Althugh their advances cnstantly make the news, these netwrks are primitive cmpared t a living brain. A better understanding f hw ur brain actually wrks can help in designing mre cmplex neural netwrks, enabling them t perfrm mre cmplex tasks.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has becme a fashin wrd in recent years, and its impact n sciety is grwing rapidly. AI refers t the develpment f cmputer systems that can perfrm tasks that wuld typically require human intelligence, such as learning, prblem-slving, and decisin-making. This technlgy is transfrming every industry, frm healthcare t finance, and is expected t revlutinize the future.
One area where AI is making significant strides is healthcare. AI-pwered tls can analyze vast amunts f medical data and help dctrs make mre infrmed diagnses and treatment decisins. This technlgy is particularly useful in fields such as radilgy, where AI algrithms can analyze medical images t detect abnrmalities that may be missed by human eyes.
In finance, AI is being used t analyze vast amunts f data t identify patterns and predict market trends. This technlgy can help traders make mre infrmed decisins and reduce the risks f financial lsses. Similarly, AI -pwered chatbts are being used in custmer service, helping t imprve respnse times and prvide persnalized supprt.
As the use f AI grws, cncerns abut jb displacement have als arisen. Sme fear that AI-pwered machines and rbts will replace human wrkers, leading t mass unemplyment. While this is a pssibility, it is als imprtant t nte that AI will create new jbs in fields such as data analysis, sftware develpment, and rbtics.
Anther majr cncern abut Al is the ptential fr bias and discriminatin. AI algrithms are nly as gd as the data they are trained n, and if that data cntains biases, the algrithms will als be biased. This issue is particularly cncerning in fields such as criminal justice, where AI-pwered systems are being used t make decisins abut sentencing. If these algrithms are biased, they culd make existing inequalities cntinue in the criminal justice system.
Despite these cncerns, the benefits f AI are numerus and undeniable. Hwever, t ensure that these benefits are accessible t all and t address cncerns abut bias and discriminatin, it is crucial t cntinue researching and develping mral AI.
