The example of a foreign teacher who volunteered to help fight the wildfires in Chongqing's Beibei District with other local residents has touched many.

In the unbearable heat and drought conditions, multiple wildfires hit parts of Chongqing. On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District.The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience， such as chain saw（链锯）operation，to join in the firefighting. Chain saws were used to create fire barriers.

“I was happy to help,” said Francis Stonier, a professor in a university. "I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.”

Stonier found a translator-50-ycar-old He Wu, a foreign language professor-who also signed up to fight fires. Soon after arriving at the volunteer area, the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups-examining and adjusting chain saws.

“Stonier is responsible and focused, and is doing a really good job,” said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to see if it was too tight or too loose. “Wherever I went,the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up. It was an unforgettable experience,"  Stonier said.

Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers, as well as volunteers and residents,  the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night.

“It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,” Stonier said, noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and serve meals or help organize.

24.What caused the outbreak of the forest fire in Beibci District?

A.The extreme heat and drought.

B.The local arca being short of water.

C.The existence of enough oil materials.

D.Humorous and passionate.

27.What message does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph?

Carbon dioxide emissions from transportation are now thought as the top source of green-house gases. One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to reconsider how much,and how often,you travel.

Going car free for a year could save about 2. 6 tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study from the University of British Columbia. How can you stop using a car? Try taking a train, bus or better yet, riding a bike.

But let's be realistic. You will likely need to use a car this year. So,when you do,here are some tips to make your trip more climate-friendly. Driving efficiently can help to reduce emissions. Go easy on the gas and brakes and drive like you have an egg under your foot. Regularly service your car to keep it more efficient. Keeping your tires pumped correctly can re-duce emissions. Low tire pressure will hurt your fuel economy. Air conditioning and frequent city driving can make emissions go up. So cut down on these as often as possible. Use cruise control（定速巡航）on long drives-in most cases， this can help to save gas. Don＇t weigh your car down with extra things that you don't need on your trip.

Fly often? Taking one fewer long round-trip flight could reduce your personal carbon footprint significantly. If you use public transportation often and fly less, your carbon foot-print might still be relatively sustainable, but if you drive and fly a lot, your emissions will be sigher.  If you can't avoid flying, you can offset them by donating money to sustainable proacts,   such as supplying efficient stoves to rural homes, or projects which help farmers deal with crop waste environmentally.

28.What does the author think of going car free?

A.Efficient.

B.Costly.

C.Impractical.

D.Reliable.

29.Which can be adopted to save fuel of your car?

A.Maintaining your car properly.

B.Using cruise control in the city.

C.Stepping hard on the gas and brakes.

D.Geiting rid of all the necessary loads.

30.What does the underlined word "offset" in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Make up for.

C. Set foot in.

B.Team up with.

D.Put up with.

31.Which is the best title for the text?

A.How to save fuel when driving cars

B.How to reduce your carbon footprint

C.Reduce carbon footprint by all means

D.Lower carbon footprint in transportation

Chinese astronauts have successfully grown rice seedlings（幼苗）aboard the Tiangong space station and this experiment may offer key insights into how astronauts can grow food to support long-term space missions, experts said on Monday. This experiment is the first to produce the complete life cycle of the plant, which begins with a seed and ends with a mature plant producing new seeds.

The breakthrough was conducted in the Wentian space laboratory,which was launched into orbit on July 24,2022. Threc astronauts were conducting the experiment smoothly and testing the plants according to the plan.

“The rice seedlings are growing very well,” said Zheng Huiqiong, a researcher of the task,adding that the experiment also contained seedlings of a small flowering plant often used by scientists to study mutations （变异）.“The astronauts will keep monitoring the plants， and if it is successful,they will collect the newly produced seeds and bring them back to Earth for further studies,"she noted.

The flowering stage is crucial for plant reproductive development.“We want to investi-gate how microgravity can affect the plant flowering time and whether it is possible to use the microgravity environment to control the related process,”she said.

Since the 1980s, China has been taking seeds of rice and other crops to space to help them mutate and produce higher yields once they were planted on Earth. But growing rice in orbit is a different challenge due to the tough conditions of space such as microgravity and lack of air.

Rice has been a main food for astronauts since the early days of space exploration.Freeze-dried chicken and rice was the menu for the Apollo 11 mission, which carried the first humans to land on the moon in July 1969.

"But if we want to land on and explore Mars,bringing food from Earth is not enough 1o provide for the astronauts' long journcy and mission in space. We have to find a food source for long-term space explorations,” Zheng added.

32.What's the significance of Chinese recent space rice experiment?

A. It enables human beings to move to another planet.

B. It helps people get a better idea of the human life cycle.

C. It inspires more other countries to do space explorations.

D.It makes it possible to carry out long-term space missions.

33. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The mutation.

C.The exploration.

B.The experiment.

D.The space mission.

34.Why have crop seeds been brought to space since the last century?

A.To study the impact of microgravity on crop growth.

B. To figure out how to create an earth-like environment.

C.To promote genetic changes and increase crop harvest.

D.To develop new crop species with strong ability to adapt.

35.Where is the text most probably from?

A.A science newspaper.

C.A medical report.

B.A fashion magazine.

D.A history book.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

After a hard day's work, I usually go shopping in the nearby commercial center to relieve my tiredness.

Last Monday, I was in the commercial center as usual and I decided to go and get a cup of coffee. As l was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch laid out in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it. It was also rather obvious that he had a problem with his right eye and probably couldn't see out of it.  I then joined the line and waited to be served.

Then one thing that made me unforgettable happened. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the server a twenty-dollar bill and requested an orange juice, as well as a favour. The server looked at the young man, a little confused, not fully understanding the request.

“Please help me give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench, as well as the change from the 20 dollars,” the young man said to the server.

At that time, the server hesitated for a moment and said, “I am a little scared for his behavior and appearance. ”

“Don't worry. I have the confidence that he  is a kind and warm-heated gentleman. He is just in need of some kind of help and has a problem with his right eye and probably couldn't see out of it. I will be watching every second so that you will be completely safe at all times,” the young man added.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Then the server approached the old gentleman slowly.

I wondered why the young man didn't perform this act of kindness himself.
