Mntessri was brn in Italy in 1870 with prgressive parents, wh frequently cmmunicated with the cuntry’s leading thinkers and schlars. This enlightened family envirnment prvided Mntessri with many advantages ver ther yung girls f the time.
Her mther’s supprt was vital fr sme imprtant decisins, such as her further study in a technical schl after her elementary educatin. Her parents’ supprt als prved t be essential fr her decisin t study medicine, a field that was dminated by men.
Sn after graduating, in 1896, Mntessri began wrk as a vluntary assistant in a clinic at the University f Rme, where she cared fr children with learning difficulties. The rms were empty, with just a few pieces f furniture. One day, she fund that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs（面包屑） that had drpped n the flr. It then ccurred t her that the rigin f sme intellectual disabilities culd be related with pverty. With the right learning materials, these and ther yung minds culd be trained, Mntessri cncluded.
The bservatin wuld lead Mntessri t develp a new methd f educatin that fcused n prviding better stimulatin during the sensitive perids f childhd.
At its centre was the principle that all the learning materials shuld be child-sized and designed t appeal t all the senses. In additin, each child shuld be allwed t mve and act freely, and use their creativity and prblem-slving skills. Teachers tk the rle f guides, supprting the children withut press r cntrl.
Mntessri pened her first Children’s Huse in 1907．When the Fascists（法西斯主义者） first came int pwer in Italy in 1922, they welcmed her mvement at the beginning. But they sn came t ppse the emphasis n the children’s freedm f expressin. Mntessri’s values had always been abut human respect and the rights f children and wmen, but the Fascists wanted t use her wrk and her fame.
Things reached a breaking pint when the Fascist tried t influence the schls’ educatinal cntent, and in 1934 Mntessri and her sn decided t leave Italy. She didn’t return t her hmeland until 1947, and she cntinued t write abut and develp her methd until her death in 1952, at the age f 81.
24．What was the main reasn fr Mntessri t develp a new educatinal methd?
A．Her experience as a vluntary assistant in a clinic.
B．Her family’s supprtive influence n her educatin.
C．Her decisin t study medicine, a field dminated by men.
D．Her bservatin f children playing with breadcrumbs happily.
25．What was a central principle f Mntessri’s educatinal methd?
A．Fcusing n grup cmpetitin.B．Taking cntrl f children’s actin.
C．Prviding ne-size-fits-all learning materials.D．Creating a free and child-centered envirnment.
26．Why did Mntessri decide t leave Italy in 1934?
A．She was ffered a better jb in a different cuntry.
B．She was frced t give up her wrk and her fame.
C．She wanted t avid the influence frm the Fascist.
D．She wanted t explre ther cuntries and cultures.

With egg shrtages already a familiar sight n supermarket shelves, farmers are warning that vegetables and grains culd be next, because envirnmental plans take ut large areas f land that are used fr fd prductin.
Stephen Hlt, wh wns 670 acres in Nrthamptnshire, said farmers were being stimulated by the gvernment subsidy t reduce fd prductin in favur f wildlife. He has signed up t an envirnmental plan which is being carried ut in England under the cncept f “public mney fr public gds”.
“Instead f 1,300 tnnes f prduct, we will prduce 900 tnnes f prduct frm ur farm,” Hlt said. Under the new plan, his input csts will be reduced and he will be paid a guaranteed sum.
“In my view, the huge danger is that there will be a serius decrease in agriculturalutput,” he said. “We are nt helping but we can’t have the whle fd system f the UK n ur shulders, because everyne has t act in their individual best interests.”
James Williams, wh farms in Oxfrdshire, said the envirnmental plans will reduce the risks in his farm business and that he will nt be affected by the weather and internatinal markets. “It des mean that we will be taking perhaps 30 per cent f ur wheat land ut f prductin fr a seasn r tw, r mre,” he said. “What has nt been mentined is that if sme disaster fell and ur imprts were disrupted（扰乱）, grwing wheat t prduce bread culd nt be turned n like a tap. It will take several years and a significant increase in prices t get prductin back up t tday’s levels.”
The UK prduces abut 60 per cent f its fd cnsumptin, including the majrity f grains, meat, dairy and eggs. Hwever, seasnal labur shrtages have led many British farm businesses t reduce their prductin by as much as 20-30 per cent since 2020. Egg prductin has drpped t its lwest level in nine years.
Liz Webster, a farmer in nrth Wiltshire, said, “There just desn’t seem t be any thught r cncern fr fd security and fd supply. They’ve just left it up t the supermarkets.” The farmers’ cncerns include imprted fd prduced in cuntries with lwer welfare standards, and labelling f fd rigins. “These imprts are packaged here, and if they’re packaged r prcessed here they can have a British flag, which is abslutely dishnest,”Webster said.
28．The wrd “subsidy” in paragraph 2 is clsest in meaning t ______.
A．banB．warningC．permissinD．award
29．What can we learn frm paragraph 5?
A．Reducing wheat prductin may cause negative impacts.
B．The envirnmental plans can imprve the farm business.
C．The internatinal markets will affect the farmers’ interests.
D．A recvery in wheat prductin will cme sn after disruptin.
30．What is Liz Webster’s pinin n fd safety?
A．Supermarkets are respnsible fr fd safety.
B．The safety f imprted fd cannt be guaranteed.
C．A British flag n fd package ensures fd safety.
D．Fd safety and supply issues have been addressed.
31．What is the main idea f this article?
A．Seasnal labur is in shrt supply.
B．Imprted fd prices are n the rise.
C．Farmers fear fd shrtage caused by green plans.
D．Gvernment wrries abut the slw agricultural develpment.

Climate change is nt nly a human prblem; animals have t adapt t it as well. Sme “warm-blded” animals are shapeshifting（变形） and getting larger legs, ears, and beaks t better cntrl their bdy temperatures as the planet gets htter. Bird researcher Sara Ryding f Deakin University in Australia describes these changes in a review.
“It’s high time we recgnized that animals als have t adapt t these changes, and this is ccurring ver a far shrter time than wuld have ccurred thrugh mst f evlutinary time,” says Ryding.“The climate change that we have created is putting a lt f pressure n them, and while sme species will adapt, thers will nt.”
Ryding ntes that climate change is a cmplex phenmenn that’s been ccurring gradually, s it’s difficult t determine just ne cause f the shapeshifting. But these changes have been ccurring acrss wide gegraphical regins and amng a variety f species, s there is little in cmmn apart frm climate change.
Strng shapeshifting has particularly been reprted in birds. Several species f Australian parrt have shwn, n average, a 4% t 10% increase in size since 1871, and this is psitively assciated with the summer temperature each year. Nrth American dark-eyed juncs, a type f small sngbird, had a link between increased size and shrt-term temperature extremes in cld envirnments. There have als been reprted changes in mammalian（哺乳动物） species. Researchers have reprted tail length increases in wd mice. “The increases in appendage （附肢） size we see s far are quite small —less than 10%—s the changes are unlikely t be immediately nticeable,” says Ryding. “Hwever, prminent（突起的） appendages such as ears are predicted t increase.”
Next, Ryding intends t investigate shapeshifting in Australian birds by 3D scanning museum bird samples frm the past 100 years. Undubtedly, it will give her team a better understanding f which birds are changing appendage size due t climate change and why.
32．What is the purpse f paragraph 1?
A．T intrduce a bird researcher.B．T present a shapeshifting phenmenn.
C．T explain the cause f climate change.D．T state the terrible influence f climate change.
33．What can be inferred abut animals’ shapeshifting frm paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．It is slwer than their evlutin.B．It’s impssible t determine its cause.
C．It is a glbal phenmenn beynd species.D．Climate change is its ptential cause.
34．What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A．The examples f shapeshifting.B．The effects f shapeshifting.
C．The explanatins f shapeshifting.D．The histry f shapeshifting.
35．Which f the fllwing will Ryding’s next study fcus n?
A．The speed f shapeshifting.B．The cause f climate change.
C．The samples f Australian birds.D．The understanding f bird histry.

She was the prettiest puppy we had ever seen, and the whle family immediately fell in lve with her. We named her Onyx because f her thick, shiny black cat. She spent her first vacatin with us when she was nly ten weeks ld and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River.

As she grew lder, Onyx became mre and mre invlved in ur family activities. On ht summer days, Onyx enjyed flating n the river with us in her wn rubber tube（橡皮圈）. Amazingly standing n the tp f the tube, she smiled while shwing ff her perfect balance. Resting her frnt legs and paws ver the edge f the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she flated until she’d had enugh f the warm sun n her black cat.
One day, ur eighteen-year-ld daughter, Margie, annunced she was ging t swim acrss the bay. N ne in the family was free t g swimming with her.

Seeing her struggling in the water, Onyx immediately swam t the side f Margie and then put her head beneath the girl’s right arm. I yelled fr help fr fear that they might freeze in the chilly river. But much t my jy, with Margie tightly grabbing Onyx’s cllar, ur little furry friend began digging deep, slicing thrugh the water with her paws and swimming fast twards the bank with every unce f strength.
Seeing the pair appraching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh f relief. When they finally gt t the shre, I reached ut t help Margie, pulling her up nt the riverbank and wrapping her in a large twel. Exhausted but excited, Onyx eagerly ran t Margie and gently licked her face t make sure she was Okay. Everyne in the family was grateful fr their safe return and Onyx was given an extra treat later in the afternn fr her quick and br ave reactin. she became ur her that day and she never ceased t amaze us in the days that fllwed.

I recently jined the nature club at schl.（17） I wanted t jin the science club but they had n spaces left, s I had t change my decisin. At first, I thught I was nt interested in this, but it has turned ut t be amazing.（17） We are always learning amazing facts abut nature. Fr example, did yu knw that 97% f the Earth’s water is actually salt water fund in the ceans? That means that nly 3% f the planet’s water is fresh water, yet we can nly use ne-third f it,（18） as the remainder is t far undergrund r is ice. Anther interesting fact I learned is that frests cver 30% f all land n Earth. At least a third f that has been cmpletely undisturbed by human activity. Speaking f frests, I read a reprt nline that in 2019, we lst a piece f rainfrest the same size as a ftball field every six secnds.（19） Hwever, a quarter f all mdern medicines cme frm plants fund in rainfrests. （20） That is why saving the rainfrests is s imprtant. Nt nly d they prvide us with air t breathe, but they als grw things t keep us healthy. I’m ging t share this fact with the nature club n Wednesday.
Suddenly I heard Margie calling ut, “I have a cram（痉挛） in the leg!” __________________________
