Each year, the wmen f Olney and Liberal cmpete in an unusual ftrace. Dressed in aprns (围裙) and headscarves, they wait at bth twns’ starting lines. Each wman hlds a frying pan with ne pancake inside. At the signal, the wmen flip (轻抛) pancakes and they’re ff!
This “pancake racing” traditin is said t have started n Shrve Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrve Tuesday is the day befre the Christian seasn f Lent (大斋戒) begins. During Lent, many peple decide t give up sugary r fatty fds.

She lst track f time and suddenly heard the church bells ring, signaling the beginning f the Shrve Tuesday service. Realizing that she was ging t be late fr church, she raced ut the dr still wearing her aprn and headscarf and hlding her frying pan with a pancake in it. In the fllwing years, the wman’s neighbrs imitated her dash t church, and pancake racing was brn.
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditinal headscarf and aprn. They must flip their pancakes twice — nce befre starting and nce after crssing the finish line. After the race, there are Shrve Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney cnnect thrugh a vide call t cmpare race times and declare a winner.
In bth twns, the races have grwn int larger festivals. Olney’s festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberal’s festival lasts fur days and includes a parade, a talent shw, and cntests that feature eating and flipping pancakes.

Think f Japan in the spring and the image that cmes t mind is likely the cuntry’s famus cherry blssms, als knwn as “Sakura” — white and pink flwers, blming acrss cities and muntains.
The flwers, which experience a “peak blm” that nly lasts a few days, have been lved in Japan fr mre than a thusand years. Crwds celebrate with viewing parties, flcking t the mst ppular lcatins t take phts and have picnics underneath the branches.
But this year, cherry blssm seasn has cme and gne in the blink f an eye, in ne f the earliest blms n recrd. Scientists warn it’s a symptm f the larger climate crisis threatening ecsystems everywhere.
Yasuyuki An, a researcher at Osaka Prefecture University, has gathered recrds frm Kyt back t 812 AD frm histrical dcuments and diaries. In the central city f Kyt, cherry blssms peaked n March 26, the earliest in mre than 1,200 years, An said. And in the capital Tky, cherry blssms reached full blm n March 22, the secnd-earliest date n recrd.
The peak blm dates shift every year, depending n numerus factrs including weather and rainfall, but have shwn a general trend f mving earlier and earlier. In Kyt, the peak date stayed arund mid-April fr centuries, but began mving int early April during the 1800s. The date has nly dipped int late March a handful f times in recrded histry.
“Sakura blms are very temperature sensitive,” said An. “Flwering and full blm culd be earlier r later depending n the temperature alne,” he said. “The temperature was lw in the 1820s, but it has risen by abut 3.5 degrees Celsius t this day.”
This year’s seasns in particular influenced the blssm dates, he added. The winter was very cld, but the spring came fast and unusually warm.
28. What is the best title f the passage?
A. Cherry blssm celebratins.
B. Warning f a climate crisis.
C. A strng lve fr cherry blssm.
D. Cherry blssm seasn cming earlier.
29. What des the underlined wrd “flcking” mean?
A. Blcking. B. Flding C. Running. D. Fllwing.
30. What can we infer frm paragraph 5?
A. The peak blssm dates fall n a fixed date.
B. The cherry blssm rarely peaks in March.
C. The peak blm dates mainly depend n weather and rainfall.
D. Cherry blssm peaks arund mid-April in Tky.
31. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the passage?
A. T infrm peple the date f cherry blssm.
B. T shw a study n cherry blssm dates.
C. T present a Japanese traditin f cherry blssm celebratin.
D. T make peple aware f the influence f climate change n cherry blssm.

Yur best friend that fllws yu arund when the sun cmes ut - yur shadw - desn’t serve an imprtant functin like yur heart r brain, but what if yu culd use shadws t create electricity? When using slar panels (电池板) that are pwered by light, shadws can be bring because it means electricity can’t be created. Hwever, researchers frm the Natinal University f Singapre have engineered a way t create pwer frm the shadws present everywhere.
A team f the university created a machine that can cllect energy frm shadws. It is created by placing a thin cating f gld nt silicn (硅). Like in a nrmal slar panel, when put in light, the silicn electrns (电子) becme energized and the energized electrns then jump frm the silicn t the gld. The vltage (电压) f the part f the machine that is placed in the light increases relative t the dark part and the electrns in the machine flw frm high t lw vltage. They are sent thrugh an external circuit (外电路) creating a current that can be used t pwer anther machine. The greater the cntrast between light and dark, mre energy is prvided by the machine.
The team is wrking n imprving the perfrmance f the machine, brrwing appraches frm slar panels t gather light. Increasing the amunt f light the machines can receive allws them t better make use f shadws, as well as develping shadw energy cllecting panels that can successfully gather frm indr lighting. The team is als researching the use f ther materials ther than gld t drp the price f the machine, meaning they wuld be mre cst effective and easier t apply in sciety.
Shadws are present everywhere and perhaps ne day in the future we will be able t cllect energy frm them by placing the shadw-effect energy machine arund the wrld in places that have been cnsidered unfit fr slar panels t wrk, r indrs. “A lt f peple think that shadws are useless,” Tan says, but “anything can be useful, even shadws.”
32. What is Paragraph 1 mainly abut?
A. Yur best friend always stays with yu after the sunrise.
B. The shadw has the same functin as the heart and brain.
C. Shadws can stp slar panels frm creating electricity.
D. Researchers have fund a way t create pwer frm shadws.
33. What is the key wrking principle f the machine mentined in the text?
A. The silicn prduces electricity when it is in the light.
B. The gld prduces pwer with the help f the silicn.
C. The energized electrns flw frm high t lw vltage.
D. An external circuit creates current using anther machine.
34. Hw des the team imprve the perfrmance f the machine?
A. Using slar panels in the machine.
B. Increasing the amunt f light received.
C. Develping light energy cllecting panels.
D. Bringing dwn the price f gld.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best place t apply the machine?
A. A gym. B. A park. C. A farm. D. A playgrund.
