A new frm f real estate(不动产)is appearing alng the beaches f Suth Africa and n the dry islands ff its cast-tiny white beach huts. With gd ventilatin and a sea view, they are just big enugh t fit a family f African penguins. Their unique selling pint: a safe and cl place fr penguins t breed.
African penguins, unlike their relatives that live in snw and ice, live well in the cld currents f the Suth Atlantic Ocean. But when they cme t land, their thick black cat absrbs the heat, and they desperately lk fr cver-bth fr themselves and their fragile eggs.
Histrically, the penguins dug burrws in layers f guan-accumulated seabird and bat feces- that lined Africa’s penguin clnies, but in the 19th century, traders started selling guan(鸟粪)as fertilizer, leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly expsed t predatrs and the baking sun. This, cmbined with ther threats such as egg paching, verfishing and climate change, has caused African penguin ppulatins t plummet. In 2019, they were thught t be less than 20,000 breeding pairs, dwn frm an estimated 1.5 t 3 millin birds in 1900.Fr mre than a decade, the species has been listed as endangered by the IUCN.
T date, the African Penguin Nest Prject has installed mre than 1,500 nests acrss five f Suth Africa’s penguin clnies, and plans t expand int Namibia next year, the nly ther cuntry with breeding ppulatins f the species.
“This is still just a drp in the bucket,” says Graham, wh anticipates they will need t deply at least 4,500 mre ceramic hmes t prtect penguins currently nesting in expsed areas. “The gal is that every penguin that needs a nest will get ne.”
24. What is the reasn fr building the beach huts?
A. T beautify the beach.B. T cnduct research.
C. T huse the penguins.D. T balance the eclgy.
25. Hw many factrs have affected the penguin ppulatins accrding t the text?

26. Which f the fllwing can replace the underlined wrd “plummet” in Paragraph 4?
A. Innvate.B. Increase.C. Swing.D. Decline.
27. Which clumn may the text appear in a newspaper?
A. Culture.B. Envirnment.C. Technlgy.D. Art.

After decades f explring the mn, a dramatic visin is finally becming reality. The Guardian recently reprted that a prject called Lunar Cdex is planning t send and stre ver 30,000 wrks n the mn frm artists, writers, filmmakers, and musicians frm ver 150 cuntries and regins. The gds t be stred range frm nvels and paintings t music, films，and even sil frm Earth.
In fact, this is nt the first time that peple have tried sending human legacies (遗产) t uter space. In 1969, the Apll 12 missin carried a ceramic piece with drawings. In 1971, the Apll 15 staff left a sculpture t hnr thse wh had died in space explratin. What’s mre famus is the Glden Recrd carried by spacecraft Vyager 1 and 2 frm NASA in 1977, which cntains human language, music and images. Fr example, a piece f Chinese guqin music, called Flwing Streams was included in it.
Althugh we dn’t knw wh determines which symbls f human legacy get sent ut t space in mst prjects, it’s bvius that the criteria keep changing. In the past，space heritage prducts nly fcused n space-related wrks; but gradually, mre human-related cntemprary gds which held great imprtance in their respective eras have been added t the list. In the Lunar Cdex, films, diverse art and literary wrks prduced by wmen, disabled artists, and even AI have been cllected fr the first time t be sent t the mn.
These changing criteria als leave space fr rdinary peple t imagine and think. Many peple are nw trying t stre their DNA infrmatin digitally. Will peple be able t find even mre surprising and inventive ways t preserve their legacy in the future? Only time can tell.
28．What is the gal f the prject?
A. T make the mn livable. B. T shw respect t artists.
C. T enrich the life f astrnauts. D. T preserve human legacies.
29. Hw is Paragraph 2 mainly develped?
A. By explaining reasns. B. By giving examples.
C. By making cmparisns D.By analyzing previus data.
30. What des the change f the criteria reflect?
A. AI technlgy is amazing. B.The selective rules are strict.
C. Human civilizatin is inclusive. D.Space-related wrks are ppular.
31.Where des the text mst prbably cme frm?

Speaking t The Guardian at the Third Internatinal Cnference n Human genetic editing, Prf Jennifer Dudna, a 2020 Nbel chemistry prize winner, said, “We’ll definitely be seeing genetic therapies (治疗；疗法) fr heart diseases, brain diseases, and eye cnditins.” But she warned, “One f the riskiest and mst realistic ptentials is that trials f gene editing in embrys (胚胎) will prbably fllw.”
The technlgy can and will smth the way fr therapies fr enhancing healthy humans, t make them faster, smarter, strnger, r mre resistant t diseases, thugh enhancement wuld be mre difficult than mending single faulty genes. Accrding t the experts at the cnference, including geneticists, public health researchers and philsphers, a wave f gene editing therapies were expected t reach clinics in the next five years r s. The therapies will crrect disease-causing disrders in tissues and rgans and becme mature as researchers wrk ut hw t make multiple edits at nce and reach difficult areas such as parts f the brain.
Hwever, Dudna and the ther experts als expressed their cncern that the next generatin f advanced genetic therapies raises serius issues that must be tackled t ensure the technlgy benefits patients and sciety. Prf Françise Baylis, a philspher at Dalhusie University in Canada, was wrried that in additin t the sure sign f genetic enhancement cming, the cst f the new therapies wuld be t high fr much f the glbal ppulatin. Prf Mayana Zatz, at the University f Sã Paul, Brazil, said she was against editing genes fr imprvement but added, “There will always be peple ready t pay fr it in private clinics and it will be difficult t stp.”
One cnclusin almst all experts shared was that while all these ptential prblems and risks did exist, a future full f prmise wuld definitely be witnessed. After all, it is nt technlgy itself but ways in which peple emply it that decide the result.
32. Which is nt cnsidered as beneficial by Prf Jennifer Dudna?
A. Gene editing fr diseases in embrys. B. Gene editing fr diseases in eyes.
C. Gene editing fr diseases in heart. D. Gene editing fr diseases in brain.
33. What can we infer in paragraph 2?
A. Genetic therapies are mre difficult than mending.
B. Sciety will benefit frm genetic therapies entirely.
C. Genetic therapies have already reached sme clinics.
D. All disrders can’t be crrected by genetic therapies.
34. What did Prf Françise Baylis and Prf Mayana Zatz agree n?
A. The cst f the new therapies wuld be t high.
B. Editing genes fr imprvement is prmising.
C. Editing genes fr imprvement is unavidable.
D. Editing genes fr imprvement shuld carry n.
35. What is the attitude f mst experts twards genetic therapies in the text?
