In summer the air in Seville is sweet with the scent f ranges. They lk pretty n the trees but nce they fall, the streets becme sticky with juice and black with flies. The 5,700 tnnes f bitter fruit the city’s 48,000 trees depsit n the streets are a hazard fr pedestrians (行人) and a headache fr the city’s cleaning department.
Nw a prject has been launched t prduce an entirely different kind f juice frm the unwanted ranges: electricity. Seville is running a pilt prject t use the methane (甲烷) prduced as the fruit ferments (发酵) t generate clean electricity.
Emasesa, the city water cmpany, will use 35 tnnes f fruit t generate clean energy t run a water purificatin plant. The ranges will g t a facility that generates electricity frm rganic matter. As they ferment, the methane captured will be used t drive the generatr.
“The juice is made up f very shrt carbn chains and the energetic perfrmance f these carbn chains during the fermentatin prcess is very high,” said Benign López, the head f Emasesa’s envirnmental department.
While the aim fr nw is t use the energy t run the water purificatin plants, the ultimate gal is t feed extra electricity back int the grid (电网). The team behind the prject says the ptential is huge. Trials have shwn that a tnne f ranges will prduce 50kWh, enugh t pwer five hmes fr a day, and they calculate that if all the city’s ranges were recycled and the energy put back int the grid, 73,000 hmes culd be pwered.
“Emasesa is nw a rle mdel in Spain fr sustainability and the fight against climate change,” said Juan Espadas Cejas, the mayr f Seville. “The water purificatin plants cnsume almst 40% f the energy t prvide the city with drinking water. This prject will help us t reach ur targets fr reducing emissins, energy self sufficiency and the circular ecnmy.”
24．What can be knwn abut the range trees in Seville frm Paragraph 1?
A．They are pleasant views n the streets all year rund.
B．They are s prductive that they are widely exprted.
C．Their ripe fruits truble the city’s cleaning department.
D．Their juicy fruits are mstly cnsumed by the citizens.
25．What is the target f the pilt prject in the future?
A．T recycle mre street ranges fr fermentatin.
B．T supply extra electrical pwer fr the lcal grid.
C．T perate the water purificatin plants efficiently.
D．T make the fermentatin prcess f ranges faster.
26．What is Juan Espadas Cejas’ attitude twards Emasesa?
A．Favurable.B．Skeptical.C．Intlerant.D．Uninterested.
27．What is the best title fr the text?
A．A Big Headache: Unwanted Oranges in Seville
B．A Green Study: Fermentatin Prcess f Oranges
C．A Water Plant: Extra Pwer Prduced fr the Grid
D．A Pilt Prject: Leftver Oranges Turned int Wealth

A team f Dutch researchers has discvered that magpies (喜鹊) are using metal spikes (things with sharp pints) designed t keep them away frm certain urban areas t make their wn nests strnger and keep invaders at bay.
Scientists have knwn fr a while that magpies are sme f the mst intelligent birds in the wrld, but even they were puzzled by their amazing ability t adapt t hstile urban envirnments. It’s nt unusual fr birds t use human trash as tls and building materials fr their nests, but seeing them use the very things we humans use against them was nthing shrt f puzzling fr researchers at the Natural Histry Museum in Rtterdam and the Naturalis Bidiversity Center in Leiden, in the Netherlands.
“I didn’t expect this. These anti bird spikes are meant t deter birds, they are suppsed t scare them ff, but n the cntrary, the birds just use them.” Kees Meliker, the directr f the Natural Histry Museum Rtterdam, tld The Guardian.
One particularly impressive magpie nest was discvered in the curtyard f a hspital in Antwerp, Belgium. It was made up f arund 1,500 anti-bird spikes, mst f which seemed t be psitined with the sharp pint utwards, as prtectin against invaders. After discvering it, researchers checked the rf and cnfirmed that arund 50 meters f anti-bird spike strips had been ripped ff the building, leaving nly the glue used t fix them in place.
Birds have been knwn t take sharp bjects, frm pint y branches t nails, screws, int their nests as prtectin, but the use f anti-bird spikes is kind f irnic, as they are the very things used t keep them away. T scientists like Hiemstra, this is a srt f “beautiful revenge”.
A few years back, we wrte abut rich peple in the UK installing anti-bird spikes n trees t stp birds frm pping n their luxury cars, but I guess the birds had the last laugh.
28．Hw did the researchers feel when they fund magpies made use f metal spikes?
A．Shcked.B．Amused.C．Frightened.D．Disappinted.
29．What des the underlined wrd “deter” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Attract.B．Threaten.C．Raise.D．Prtect.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A．Supprting evidence fr the research result.
B．Deeper explanatin f the research finding.
C．Practical applicatin f the research discvery.
D．Further explratin f the cause f the discvery.
31．What can we infer frm the passage?
A．Birds are the masters f architecture.
B．Birds respnd wisely in face f anti-bird spikes.
C．Birds use human trash t make fr better adaptatin.
D．Birds turn ut the mst intelligent species in the wrld.

Thephilus Tetteh is an African cntemprary artist frm Ghana. He buried himself in the study f graphic design and painting at schl while experimenting with different media themes.
Nw we hear abut African painters stepping int the sptlight, but it might be challenging fr Ghanaian artists t bring their careers t cmmercial success and critical recgnitin.

The award brught him favrable publicity, s he was nticed by the art cmmunity, the media, cllectrs, etc. In 2021, he was interviewed frequently by the media and featured in a famus magazine. All these things let the prices f the artist’s wrk inch upwards.
Tetteh thinks the wrld can be a better place if yung artists are guided n their way withut any frm f disregard, but with supprt f the senir. As his name has hit headlines f the arts wrld media, he hpes t help prmte emerging talents in his native cuntry. “The art makes the man and the man makes the art,” he says.

C．T prvide chances fr yung artists t display artistic talents.
D．T spnsr a prject fr the cntemprary emerging artists frm Ghana.
34．What kind f persn is Tetteh accrding t the last paragraph?

Examples f the “tangping”, r “lying flat”, way f life 56 (include) nt getting married, nt having children, and refusing t wrk extra hurs r t hld a jb at all. “I stay at hme and sleep and watch televisin series.” said Zhang, wh described herself as “lying flat” fr the last tw weeks 57 leaving her jb in the film industry in Wuxi.
