As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine,she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). "Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks." A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 per cent of Tunisia's agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilisers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and setup a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. "I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water."
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia's farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
24. How did Toumi's holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They made her decide to leave the country.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
25. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia's farmland?
A. Cold weather. B. Soil pollution.
C. Low rainfall. D. Forest damage.
26. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people.
B. To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To help the children obtain a basic education.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Saving Water in Africa
B. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C. Holding back the Sahara
D. Planting Trees in Tunisia
C
Experts believe the best time to teach kids language skills is when they are babies. Actually the task is easily done with parents reading or talking to their babies. However, that is impossible when kids are born deaf.
In that case, parents either have to quickly become adept at sign language or risk the child facing learning delays in the future. Now, a lovely blue-eyed robot, a human avatar (用户头像), and some high-tech neuroscience (神经科学) may help parents with this important developmental task.
The Robot Avatar Thermal-Enhanced system, or RAVE, is the creation of a team led by Petitto, a scientist at Gallaudet University. The learning begins when the robot's thermal (热力的) camera, which is focused on the baby's face, senses small changes in his body temperature, which is associated with awareness. This, combined with the baby's facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide the baby's attention to a computer screen.
Here, a human avatar starts to communicate with the, baby much like a parent would. For example, if the baby points towards the screen, the avatar might respond, "Are you pointing to me?" and follow that up with a fairy tale, or some necessary social communication, all in sign language. The "conversation"continues until the kid loses interest.
The team, who have been testing the system for three years, found that babies began to move their hands in a way similar to sign language after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes. Petitto says natural language, whether communicated through speech or sign, starts the same parts of the brain and believes the movement proves the babies are learning the key parts of communication.
28.What does the underlined word "adept”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. nervous. B. skillful. C. sensitive. D. astonished.
29. Who might benefit most from the blue-eyed robot mentioned in the text?
A. A kid born with hearing problems.
B. A kid who enjoys robot toys.
C. A kid fond of medical science.
D. A kid with a gift for language skills.
30. What is the purpose of the example in paragraph 4?
A. To encourage parents to talk to their babies more.
B. To stress the importance of sign language.
C. To explain a human avatar's weakness.
D. To show how a human avatar works.
31. What does Petitto think of the RAVE?
A. It is easily designed.
B. It falls short of her expectations.
C. It helps deaf babies hear the world.
D. It is effective in a way.
D
Too much time spent on gaming, smartphones and watching television is linked to heightened levels and diagnoses (诊断) of anxiety or depression in children as young as age 2, according to a new study.
Even after only one hour of screen time daily, children and teens may begin to have less curiosity, lower self-control, less emotional stability and a greater inability to finish tasks, reports San Diego State University psychologist Jean Twenge and University of Ceorgia psychology professor W. Keith Campbell.They were particularly interested in associations (关系) between screen time and diagnoses of anxiety and depression in youth, which has not yet been studied in great detail.
Twenge and Campbell found adolescents who spend more than seven hours a day on screens were twice as likely as those spending one hour to have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression. Overall,links between screen time and well-being were larger among adolescents than among young children.
"At first, I was surprised that the associations were larger for adolescents," Twenge said. "However,adolescents spend more time on their phones and on social media, and these activities are more strongly linked to low well-being than watching television and videos, which is most of younger children's screen time.”
The study provides further evidence that the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) established screen time limits—one hour per day for those aged 2 to 5, with a focus on high-quality programs—are valid (有效的), Twenge said. The study also suggests that similar limits-perhaps to two hours a day-should be applied to school-aged children and adolescents, said Twenge.
In terms of prevention, establishing possible causes and outcomes of low psychological well-being is especially important for child and adolescent populations. "Half of mental health problems develop during adolescence," Twenge and Campbell wrote in their paper.
32.What do we know about Twenge and Campbell's study according to paragraph 2?
A. It requires further research.
B. It brings children less comfort.
C. It needs greater ability to finish.
D. It generates more public concern.
33.What is a reason for the different degrees of impact on children?
A. The effects of the harmful contents.
B. Teens' stronger addiction to screens.
C. The portability (可携带性) of electronic devices.
D. Teens' negative emotions at discipline.
34.Which of the following do the researchers want AAP to do?
A. provide high-quality programs.
B. issue minimum screen time limits.
C. apply the limits to older children.
D. present further evidence for prevention.
35. What does this study focus on?
A. adolescents' mental problems.
B. the bad habits of the young adults.
C. low level of mental health in youth.
D. the importance of the young population.
