Once the sun set, there was a varius range f bars and restaurants t chse frm just a few steps away. The warm evening atmsphere was peppered with the muthwatering smell f sizzling freshly-caught fish. The nly hardship was trying t decide where t dine each evening with s many tasty ptins!

On ne f ur utings, we tk a bat trip t the undisturbed island f Egmnt Key State Park. There we explred the ruins f a military utpst built in 1898 and a 150-year-ld wrking lighthuse.

Climate change is causing mre areas t turn int deserts. This issue is affecting the lives f 250 millin peple as land that used t be gd fr farming becmes dry and unprductive. Arund ne-third f the wrld’s land is impacted, including regins in Africa, suthern Eurpe, Asia and America.
Sand t Green is a Mrccan cmpany that can transfrm a patch f desert int a sustainable (可持续的) and prfitable plantatin in five years, accrding t Wissal Ben Mussa, its c-funder and chief agricultural fficer. The slutin is using agrfrestry (农林业)t create a new kind f agriculture that is sustainable and that can be resilient (有适应力的) in frnt f climate change.
The system can be set up clse t any surce f salty water, which Sand t Green cleans using energy frm the sun. It then grws different types f fruit trees and plants tgether in the same area—a methd called mixed planting—and waters the plants’ rts directly with the cleaned water, t reduce water lss t the air. The sil is regenerated using what Sand t Green calls “green manure”, a mixture that includes cmpst, bichar(生物炭)and micrrganisms that help the sil “wake up”. Bichar is a frm f charcal that can help dry sil hld n t water.
In a five-hectare trial in suthern Mrcc that’s been running since 2017, Sand t Green has tried ut a variety f plants in search f the best perfrmers. Amng the intercrpping herbs (草本植物) that have been successfully trialed are rsemary, geranium, vetiver and citrnella, which Ben Mussa describes as “very lw-maintenance and very high-prfit”.
Sand t Green is nw wrking t scale up t a 20-hectare cmmercial site, als in suthern Mrcc. It says a site f that size wuld cst arund $475,000 t set up and wuld start bringing financial returns in abut five years.
Accrding t Ben Mussa, with this system they create bidiversity, which means better sil, healthier crps and a bigger yield. The plantatin can generate 1.5 times mre yield, thus making mre mney than a farm that grws nly ne type f crp in the same space.
28．What phenmenn des the authr describe in paragraph 1?
A. Defrestatin.B. Desertificatin.C. Glbal warming.D. Urbanizatin.
29．Why did Sand t Green use agrfrestry?
A. T preserve the crp’s survival rate.B. T prtect water frm pllutin.
C. T make a new type f sil.D. T help peple adapt t climate change.
30．What can we learn abut Sand t Green?
A. It aims t plant mre trees.B. It earns a gd reputatin.
C. It develps new plants.D. It prduces gd results.
31．What des the underlined phrase “scale up” mean in paragraph 5?

A sugar replacement called erythritl (赤藓糖醇) has been linked t bld cltting (血液凝固), strke, heart attack and death, accrding t a new study.
“The degree f risk was nt mdest,” said lead study authr Dr. Stanley Hazen. Peple with existing risk factrs fr heart disease will be twice as likely t experience the risk if they have the highest levels f erythritl in their bld. Erythritl appears t be causing bld platelets (血小板) t clt mre readily. Clts can break ff and travel t the heart r the brain, causing a heart attack r a strke.
Erythritl is a sugar alchl, a carb fund naturally in many fruits and vegetables. Hwever, artificially manufactured in massive quantities, erythritl has becme an extremely ppular additive t lw-carb prducts.
The discvery f the cnnectin between erythritl and cardivascular issues was purely accidental. Hazen’s research had a simple gal: find unknwn chemicals r cmpunds in a persn’s bld. T d s, the team analyzed 1,157 bld samples. “We fund this substance that seemed t play a big rle, but we didn’t knw it was erythritl, a sweetener until later,” said Hazen. T cnfirm the findings, the team tested anther tw batches f bld samples and fund that higher levels f erythritl were cnnected t a greater risk f heart attack, strke r death within three years.
“This certainly sunds an alarm,” said Dr. Andrew Freeman, directr f a hspital inDenver. “Science needs t take a deeper div e int erythritl and in a hurry, because this substance is widely available right nw. If it’s harmful, we shuld knw abut it.”
Hazen agreed,“I nrmally dn’t get up n a pedestal (崇高地位) and sund the alarm, but this is smething that I think we need t be lking at carefully.”
32．Abut the risk, what des Hazen’s wrd in paragraph 2 mean?
A. It is nt wrth cnsidering.B. It is remved by erythritl.
C. It shuld nt be underestimated.D. It is just present in peple with disease.
33．What d we knw abut erythritl?
A. Its quality is uncertain.B. It has been used widely in fd.
C. It is manufactured by artists.D. It mainly exists in fruits.
34．What can be cncluded frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. Erythritl is nt available t peple.
B. Hazen likes warning peple abut ptential dangers.
C. Peple have realized that erythritl is dangerus.
D. Further research shuld be dne n erythritl.
35．What can be the best title fr the text?
A. The Accidental Discvery f a New Sweetener
B. The Ptential Health Risks f Erythritl Uncvered
C. The Rise f Erythritl as a Ppular Sugar Substitute
D. The Surprising Benefits f Erythritl in Diet Prducts
