That yungsters were glued t nline games n their smart phnes was a great cncern fr Ngurang Meena, a schl teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-ld scial science teacher, wh ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. "The graph f student perfrmance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets-basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence f any chesive(连贯性的)expressin. They lack guidance and reading culture is almst zer," Meena said. When her schl and the centre she ran had t clse due t infectius diseases, she planned t d smething t address the prblem.
Inspired by a similar prpsal in Mizram, Meena set up a bkshelf with arund 80 bks as well as sme benches n the side f the rad in Nirjuli n August 30th, 2020, where passers-by culd spend time reading. The selectins included mtivatinal bks, bigraphies and nvels as well as cmics fr yung children. "I have t please the minrs with sweets t sit and read, but that is kay." she laughed.
Meena's bkshelf became a hit amng yungsters wh spent hurs in the reading crner. Within tw mnths, her effrt became the talk f the twn.
Nw, generus cntributins f bks cme in frm the public and she is even receiving requests t set up such libraries in ther parts f the state, including ne in the capital, Itanagar. Since the tiny libraries are far frm the main twn, she als lends bks ut t thse wh want t read at hme.
"I never thught that this wuld becme such a big inspiratin," Meena said. "Since childhd, we have been tld that bks are ur best friends. The next generatin f kids is fcused n games and ther things. I dn't want them t head n the wrng track," she added.
24. What's the aim f Meena's reading prgram?

While we knw that language first appeared amng Hm sapiens smewhere thusands f years ag, the secret t hw language evlved is still unknwn, and mainstream theries fall int tw distinctly different camps.
One widely held thery is that language came abut as an evlutinary adaptatin. That was where the idea f natural selectin came int play, which was the belief that the specific physical features f a ppulatin made that ppulatin mre likely t survive its envirnment, like the turtle(海龟)and its shell. On ne hand, humans needed t cmmunicate with each ther in rder t hunt, farm and defend themselves successfully frm the surrunding severe envirnment. Being able t cmmunicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the ther hand, language was needed fr scial interactin, accrding t thse wh subscribed t the adaptatin thery.
In their paper "Natural Language and Natural Selectin," researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Blm therized that a series f calls r gestures evlved ver time int cmbinatins, giving us cmplex cmmunicatin, r language. As things became mre cmplicated arund them, humans needed a mre cmplex system t cnvey infrmatin t ne anther. Early man saw a grup f deer he wanted t hunt. He made a sund t his hunting partner that means "deer are nearby." One day, a strm came in and the hunter nticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the strm passed. Over time, the same hunter als learned t recgnize the warning signs fr bad weather-dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed t tell his hunting partner t speed up the pursuit f the deer. Therefre, he came up with a series f sunds that refer t bth the deer and the bad weather. That series f sunds was the beginning f an evlutinary adaptatin that eventually became language.
As humans learned mre abut hw t best survive, they develped a need t cnvey these survival methds t their ppulatin. T be brief, that's the adaptatin thery.
28. Why are the turtle and its shell mentined in paragraph 2?
A. T shw the mystery f nature. B. T supprt the evlutinary adaptatin.
C. T stress the advantage f the turtle's shell. D. T encurage peple t study natural selectin.
29. Hw des the authr explain the adaptatin thery in paragraph 3?
A. By cmparing. B. By listing data.
C. By giving an example. D. By carrying ut a survey.
30. What will the authr mst prbably tell us next?
A. The ther thery f hw language evlved.
B. The exact place where humans came frm.
C. The reasns why animals cannt frm language.
D. The methds f humans' shaping nn-verbal thinking.
31. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The evlutin f language. B. The paper n natural selectin.
C. The differences between theries. D. The intrductin t human reprductin.
D
A cheap printed sensr culd transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destryed regins acrss the wrld, and their gravity is increasing. Hping t reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist f Renmin University, say they have develped an inexpensive sensr t detect such fires earlier with less effrt.
Current detectin methds rely heavily n human watchfulness, which can delay an effective respnse. Mst wildfires are reprted by the general public, and ther alerts cme frm rutine ft patrls and watchtwer bservers. Passing planes and satellites als ccasinally spt smething, but "the fire first appears n the grund," Wang says. "When yu see the fire frm the sky, it is t late."
The team says its new sensr can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal t a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat als pwers the sensr itself, withut replacing batteries. The team printed the substances nt rdinary paper t create a sensr fr just $ 0.40.
But imprving crdinatin amng the different agencies invlved in firefighting is even mre crucial t address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University f Nevada, Ren, wh was nt part f the study. Kent is directr f ALERT Wildfire, a netwrk that uses cameras and crwd surcing t watch fr fires in Califrnia, Nevada and Oregn. "The whle way that yu respnd t a fire until it's put ut is like a ballet," he says. "Yu'd have t chregraph(设计)it just s, with resurces precisely used at the right time and place and in the right rder frm detectin t cnfirmatin t assignment t extinguishment(熄灭). Fire detectin is just step ne."
Wang says his team's next steps are t extend the device's signal range beynd the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and t develp a prtective shield fr it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he ntes, will als need t be examined in the field ahead.
32. What des the underlined wrd "gravity" in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Pull. B. Extinctin. C. Ppularity. D. Severity.
33. What d we knw abut the sensr?
A. Its price remains high. B. Its batteries are replaceable.
C. It can detect fires earlier and easier. D. It can reduce firefighters' pain.
34. What des Kent mean in paragraph 4?
A. Firefighting is easy but crucial. B. Fire detectin resurces are rich.
C. Putting ut a fire is an rderly activity. D. Technlgy is the key t extinguishing a fire.
35. What's the plan fr the new sensr accrding t Wang?
A. Imprving and testing it. B. Limiting its use and transmissin.
C. Examing and reducing its signal range. D. Getting it n the market ahead f time.

That yungsters were glued t nline games n their smart phnes was a great cncern fr Ngurang Meena, a schl teacher in Nirjuli. The 30-year-ld scial science teacher, wh ran the Ngurang Learning Institute, an adult literacy centre, said that she felt disheartened when she read student papers. "The graph f student perfrmance is falling every year. It breaks my heart whenever I see answer sheets-basic grammar skills are missing and there's an absence f any chesive(连贯性的)expressin. They lack guidance and reading culture is almst zer," Meena said. When her schl and the centre she ran had t clse due t infectius diseases, she planned t d smething t address the prblem.
Inspired by a similar prpsal in Mizram, Meena set up a bkshelf with arund 80 bks as well as sme benches n the side f the rad in Nirjuli n August 30th, 2020, where passers-by culd spend time reading. The selectins included mtivatinal bks, bigraphies and nvels as well as cmics fr yung children. "I have t please the minrs with sweets t sit and read, but that is kay." she laughed.
Meena's bkshelf became a hit amng yungsters wh spent hurs in the reading crner. Within tw mnths, her effrt became the talk f the twn.
Nw, generus cntributins f bks cme in frm the public and she is even receiving requests t set up such libraries in ther parts f the state, including ne in the capital, Itanagar. Since the tiny libraries are far frm the main twn, she als lends bks ut t thse wh want t read at hme.
"I never thught that this wuld becme such a big inspiratin," Meena said. "Since childhd, we have been tld that bks are ur best friends. The next generatin f kids is fcused n games and ther things. I dn't want them t head n the wrng track," she added.
24. What's the aim f Meena's reading prgram?

While we knw that language first appeared amng Hm sapiens smewhere thusands f years ag, the secret t hw language evlved is still unknwn, and mainstream theries fall int tw distinctly different camps.
One widely held thery is that language came abut as an evlutinary adaptatin. That was where the idea f natural selectin came int play, which was the belief that the specific physical features f a ppulatin made that ppulatin mre likely t survive its envirnment, like the turtle(海龟)and its shell. On ne hand, humans needed t cmmunicate with each ther in rder t hunt, farm and defend themselves successfully frm the surrunding severe envirnment. Being able t cmmunicate by using language gave the human species a distinct survival advantage. On the ther hand, language was needed fr scial interactin, accrding t thse wh subscribed t the adaptatin thery.
In their paper "Natural Language and Natural Selectin," researchers Steven Pinker and Paul Blm therized that a series f calls r gestures evlved ver time int cmbinatins, giving us cmplex cmmunicatin, r language. As things became mre cmplicated arund them, humans needed a mre cmplex system t cnvey infrmatin t ne anther. Early man saw a grup f deer he wanted t hunt. He made a sund t his hunting partner that means "deer are nearby." One day, a strm came in and the hunter nticed that thunder scared the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the strm passed. Over time, the same hunter als learned t recgnize the warning signs fr bad weather-dark skies and increased wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed t tell his hunting partner t speed up the pursuit f the deer. Therefre, he came up with a series f sunds that refer t bth the deer and the bad weather. That series f sunds was the beginning f an evlutinary adaptatin that eventually became language.
As humans learned mre abut hw t best survive, they develped a need t cnvey these survival methds t their ppulatin. T be brief, that's the adaptatin thery.
28. Why are the turtle and its shell mentined in paragraph 2?
A. T shw the mystery f nature. B. T supprt the evlutinary adaptatin.
C. T stress the advantage f the turtle's shell. D. T encurage peple t study natural selectin.
29. Hw des the authr explain the adaptatin thery in paragraph 3?
A. By cmparing. B. By listing data.
C. By giving an example. D. By carrying ut a survey.
30. What will the authr mst prbably tell us next?
A. The ther thery f hw language evlved.
B. The exact place where humans came frm.
C. The reasns why animals cannt frm language.
D. The methds f humans' shaping nn-verbal thinking.
31. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The evlutin f language. B. The paper n natural selectin.
C. The differences between theries. D. The intrductin t human reprductin.

A cheap printed sensr culd transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destryed regins acrss the wrld, and their gravity is increasing. Hping t reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist f Renmin University, say they have develped an inexpensive sensr t detect such fires earlier with less effrt.
Current detectin methds rely heavily n human watchfulness, which can delay an effective respnse. Mst wildfires are reprted by the general public, and ther alerts cme frm rutine ft patrls and watchtwer bservers. Passing planes and satellites als ccasinally spt smething, but "the fire first appears n the grund," Wang says. "When yu see the fire frm the sky, it is t late."
The team says its new sensr can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal t a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat als pwers the sensr itself, withut replacing batteries. The team printed the substances nt rdinary paper t create a sensr fr just $ 0.40.
But imprving crdinatin amng the different agencies invlved in firefighting is even mre crucial t address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at the University f Nevada, Ren, wh was nt part f the study. Kent is directr f ALERT Wildfire, a netwrk that uses cameras and crwd surcing t watch fr fires in Califrnia, Nevada and Oregn. "The whle way that yu respnd t a fire until it's put ut is like a ballet," he says. "Yu'd have t chregraph(设计)it just s, with resurces precisely used at the right time and place and in the right rder frm detectin t cnfirmatin t assignment t extinguishment(熄灭). Fire detectin is just step ne."
Wang says his team's next steps are t extend the device's signal range beynd the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and t develp a prtective shield fr it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he ntes, will als need t be examined in the field ahead.
32. What des the underlined wrd "gravity" in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Pull. B. Extinctin. C. Ppularity. D. Severity.
33. What d we knw abut the sensr?
A. Its price remains high. B. Its batteries are replaceable.
C. It can detect fires earlier and easier. D. It can reduce firefighters' pain.
34. What des Kent mean in paragraph 4?
A. Firefighting is easy but crucial. B. Fire detectin resurces are rich.
C. Putting ut a fire is an rderly activity. D. Technlgy is the key t extinguishing a fire.
35. What's the plan fr the new sensr accrding t Wang?
A. Imprving and testing it. B. Limiting its use and transmissin.
C. Examing and reducing its signal range. D. Getting it n the market ahead f time.
