Yu Zeling, an award-winning master f paper cutting, fills her studi with cututs f animals, peple, and scenes that are s vivid that they seem t leap frm the walls. Her art cvers village life in Ansai, a rural district in Shaanxi Prvince.
Ms. Yu came t paper cutting in the late 1970s as naturally as she breathed the earthy air.“We were very pr, and when it was time t celebrate the New Year, we all put paper-cuts n the windws t decrate ur huses,” she says, recalling the hliday at her childhd hme. Ms. Yu and thers are wrking t keep the flk art alive, even as it evlves away frm its rts as adrnment fr farmhuses.
The art riginated in China in the centuries after paper was invented in A. D. 105. Full f auspicius（吉利的）symbls frm daily life, the decratins represented gd weather,many ffspring, lng life, wealth, and happiness.
Using newspaper, Ms. Yu first practiced cutting the image f a Chinese natinal flag that she saw in a schl textbk. She cut it 100 times befre she was satisfied. Then her aunt tk ver, intrducing her t increasingly cmplicated traditinal themes.
Ms. Yu was later invited t train in the Ansai's Cultural Center. After years f training,Ms.Yu became a master in her wn right, winning ne award after anther. Her wrks are n display in museums. But she's humble abut her achievements. “I was, and still am, a farmer,” she says with a smile.
Hping t carry n and grw the flk art, Ms. Yu vlunteers t teach at free cmmunity training sessins. Paper cutting is als taught in Ansai's public schls. Ms. Yu is aware f the need t g beynd prtecting traditins and embrace new paper-cut experiments.

A recent study cnducted by the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) has discvered that river ersin（侵蚀） can lead t increased bidiversity in areas with minimal tectnic（地壳构造的）activity. The researchers fcused their attentin n the Tennessee River Basin and examined hw the ersin f varius rck types by the river had led t the separatin and diversificatin f a type f fish called the greenfin darter. As time passed, these separate fish ppulatins evlved int distinct families with genetic differences.
Scientist Thmas Near bserved that the greenfin darter was exclusively fund in the suthern half f the Tennessee River Basin. The researchers analyzed the genes f each fish in Near's data set and cnstructed an evlutinary tree. This tree helped them cmprehend the evlutin and differences f the greenfin darter species. They discvered that the fish within the same branch f the river were mre clsely related t each ther than t the fish in ther branches.
This study prvides evidence that river ersin significantly impacts bidiversity in regins with lw tectnic activity. It illustrates hw changes in the landscape caused by river ersin can lead t the divisin and diversificatin f species ver time, even in peaceful envirnments. These findings enhance ur understanding f the mechanisms（机制）that drive bidiversity and evlutin, even in areas that are nt typically assciated with intense tectnic activity.
Subsequently, the team discvered a strng crrelatin between the habitats f the greenfin darter and the type f rcks present. The suthern half f the Tennessee River Basin cnsists f hard, tightly packed rcks, resulting in turbulent（湍急的）waves in the rivers that flw thrugh it. This characteristic may be favred by the greenfin darter. As a result,the team assumed whether the distributin f greenfin darter habitats had been influenced bythe changing rck types, as the rivers erded the land ver time. T test this assumptin,the researchers develped a simulatin mdel. Remarkably, the results cnfirmed their assumptin.
28. What is new abut the MIT study?
A.It finds river ersin can enhance bidiversity.
B.It further prves the mechanisms f river ersin.
C.It prves the gegraphical features f bidiversity.
D. It classifies a type f fish called the greenfin darter.
9.What can we learn abut the greenfin darter?
A.Their appearances vary between families.
B.Their genetic cnstitutins have diversified.
C.They prefer the deep and slw-flwing river.
D.They g extinct in the changing landscape f rivers.
30. Hw did Near help the researchers reach their cnclusin?
A.By creating an evlutinary tree f the fish.
B.By ffering the fish's genetic data.
C. By reasning ut the time the fish evlve and separate.
D. By analyzing the genetic similarity between different fish.
31.What is the best title fr the text?
A.River Ersin Can Shape Fish Evlutin
B. Genetic Change in the Greenfin Darter
C.Evlutinary Tree Analysis f the Greenfin Darter
D. The Impact f Climate Change n Fish Diversity

A planet that suffers 475 C beneath a thick acid atmsphere may be the last place yu'd expect alien（外星的）life in ur slar system. But ne NASA scientist claims that extraterrestrials（天外来客）are mst likely hiding n Venus amid cnditins that are unbearable fr humans. The new thery was put frward by the research scientist Dr Michelle Thaller.She says that pssible signs f life have already been seen within the carbn-dixide filled atmsphere, adding that she was abslutely certain that life exists smewhere.
Venus is ften described as Earth's twin due t its similar size and structure. But their cnditins culdn't be further apart, as astrnmers believe it wuld be impssible fr humans t exist n Venus. Psitined 67 millin miles frm the Sun, Venus is the httest planet in ur slar system, suffering temperatures that can even melt lead. Its atmsphere als adds t the uninhabitable situatin.
Despite this,scientists have lng debated whether Venus' cluds may hst micrbial（微生物的）life frms that can survive. Many scientists think that phtsynthesis（光合作用）is pssible n the planet's surface as Venus receives enugh slar energy t pass thrugh its thick cluds.
Hwever,Prfessr Dminic Papineau, a bilgist at the University Cllege f Lndn,believes Dr Thaller's views are “difficult t realistically assume”. He explained,“Fr life-related chemical reactins t take place, liquid water is necessary. Hence, t find extraterrestrial life, we need t find liquid water, and t find extraterrestrial fssils requires lking fr special rcks that were assciated with liquid water in the past.”
This makes life n Venus tday difficult t realistically assume, because its surface is t ht, althugh Venus might have had liquid water in its past. Even still, bth Prfessr Papineau and Dr Thaller agree that the icy mns f ur slar system culd als be sites f ptential micrbial life. NASA suggests there are 290 “traditinal mns” in ur slar system-excluding 462 smaller minr planets.
32.What can we knw abut Venus?
A.Its atmsphere is thin acidic.
B. It is much bigger than Earth.
C. It is 77 millin miles frm the Sun.
D. Venus and Earth are cnsidered as twins.
33.Which statement wuld Papineau agree with?
A. Phtsynthesis can happen n Venus's surface.
B. Thick cluds make phtsynthesis in Venus hard.
C. Liquid water is imprtant fr the extraterrestrials.
D.Sme rcks can prve life exists n Venus.
34. What can we knw frm the last paragraph?
A. The surface temperature f Venus is high.
B.It's very easy t cnfirm life n Venus.
C. Venus might have liquid water nw.
D. Many icy mns g arund Venus.
35. In which sectin f a newspaper can yu find this text?
A.Educatin.B.Science.C.Culture.D.Sprts.

Supermarkets, cnservatinists and farming grups have shwn their cncerns abut pllutin f the Wye, ne f the UK’s lngest rivers. “The pllutin pressures upn the Wye are unacceptable and there was strng enthusiasm fr cperative actin t reslve the prblem.” said Craig Bennett, head f the Wildlife Trusts.
The pllutin referred largely t runff f the nutrient-rich waste matter prduced by the 20 millin-plus chickens near the river.
Bennett said: “We discussed hw, if the Wye were a schl r a hspital, we wuld be calling fr it t be placed int ‘special measures’. We agreed the same level f urgency must be applied.”
Increasing cncern led the lcal gvernment t hld a discussin in May, when they prmised t publish a plan fr the Wye by the autumn. Hwever, the lcal gvernment’s push n the river was marred in June when the Department fr Envirnment, Fd and Rural Affairs published a Wye vide shwing sea tters (海獺) rather than the river’s lcal Eurpean tters. The pllutin f the Wye was nt mentined at all.
In July Bennett hsted a Wye rund table in Pwys, Wales, bringing tgether lcal grups, the Envirnment Agency, the chicken prduce Avara Fdsr, reginal branches f the Natinal Farmers Unin and lcal authrities. They agreed n a plan that included cutting the nutrient pllutin “thrugh a reductin in animal numbers” and ther measures.
Bennett als wrte t Julie James, the Welsh Climate Change Minister, wh said, “I share yur cncern fr the health f the River Wye and ther Welsh rivers.”
A supermarket chain said they are cmmitted t prtecting the river and engaging with their chicken suppliers t tackle water pllutin. They have detailed management plans t make sure their suppliers are farming with care fr the envirnment. A gvernment spkesman said: “We are ffering a wide range f supprt t farmers t speed up their transitin t mre sustainable practices and help prtect this imprtant site.”
28. Why des Bennett cmpare the Wye with a schl r a hspital?
A. T call fr urgent measures. B. T stress the impacts f the river.
C. T shw the imprtance f the river. D. T urge peple t prtect the envirnment.
29. What is the prbable meaning f the underlined wrd “marred” in Paragraph 4?
A. Destryed,B. BstedC. Perfected.D. Emphasized.
30. What is agreed n at the rund table?
A. Making a careful plan. B. Reducing animal numbers.
C. Arusing peple’s awareness. D. Asking the gvernment fr mney.
31. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Sea Otters Are under Attack fr Pssible Pllutin
B. Cperated Effrts Are Made t Prtect the Wye
C. Peple Are Having Mre Envirnmental Awareness
D. Mre Measures Shuld Be Taken t Prevent Air Pllutin

The days f just teaching kids their ABCs are lng gne. Mdern educatrs are tasked with the seemingly impssible respnsibility f ensuring that tday’s yuth are academically prepared fr life utside the classrm: being self-aware, self-managing, scially aware, relatinship-building and respnsible decisin-makers wh psitively cntribute t sciety. That is quite an ask!
Scial-emtinal learning (SEL) answers this call and delivers upn this tall rder. It is a methd t imprve students’ intrapersnal (内心的), interpersnal, and cgnitive cmpetence. This prcess imprves individual students’ skills and makes fr a cmmunity f successful learners willing and able t psitively cntribute t sciety. This thery truly allws individuals t develp well.
SEL has effectively predicted psitive schl adjustment in the schl setting, prmted learning engagement, minimized discipline prblems, increased high schl graduatin rates, and prmted future emplyment and adult health. A cre cmpnent f SEL is helping children understand their emtins. Further, nt nly is it vital that yungsters can identify varius emtins, but they must als be able t manage the emtins they experience.
Develping an identity is necessary fr maturing adults, and SEL satisfies this requirement, In assisting students in develping their identity, SEL helps t increase self-cnfidence, self-cmpassin, identificatin f strengths and needs, and recgnitin f needs, values, and judgments.
In the classrm. SEL has been shwn t psitively impact students’ attitudes, behavirs, and academic perfrmance. Further, it decreases negative behavirs, such as being ff-task r aggressive, and substance abuse. SEL enhances the learning envirnment and makes it a safe place fr learning.
Nt nly is SEL critical fr students’ mental health, but it is als imprtant fr teachers’ mental health. SEL increases teacher-reprted effectiveness fr behavir management and decreases reprts f teacher burnut. Ultimately, SEL creates a calmer classrm envirnment, which makes educating students much easier.
32. What des the underlined wrd “That” in Paragraph 1 stand fr?
A. Teaching kids their ABCs.B. Preparing students fr life beynd class.
C. All the hpes placed n students. D. Teaching students self-management.
33. What is mainly talked abut in Paragraph 2?
A. Hw t be a successful learner. B. Hw t meet the students’ needs.
C. What is needed fr a cmmunity. D. What is scial-emtinal learning.
34. What is the mst imprtant part f SEL?
A. Giving students a definite identity. B. Allwing students t predict their future.
C. Guaranteeing students’ future emplyment. D. Helping students understand and manage emtins.
35. What can we infer abut SEL frm the last paragraph?
A. It is a win-win methd.B. It is criticized by students.

When I wke up, I felt pains all ver. A pl f sticky bld surrunded my head. I lay trapped in the bttm f n smth-walled pit (坑) with an empty water bttle.
I thught f what had happened. I was climbing dwn the muntain as I was admiring the beautiful scenery. Accidentally. I stepped n a lse rck. Then I slipped, fell with the rck and gt stuck smewhere belw the tp. It was getting dark in the pit. Only my mther knew where I’d gne. I prmised t have lunch with her. Thinking f this. I tk my phne ut and dialed her number with shaking fingers. N service. The silence, which earlier I’d valued, was nw hrrible.
With a sharp pain in my head, I was terrified. I knew I’d fallen far, but I wasn’t sure where I was. I called 911 because I knew by the pain that my back was severely injured, if nt brken. My ear was trn badly. There was still n service. I dug thrugh my bag t assess my supplies and fund a whistle and sme wipes.
I put the whistle arund my neck and blew, thugh I knew n ne wuld hear me. It was 1:15 pm and I was miles frm the twn where I lived. I used the wipes t clean ff as much bld as I culd. I rested. Then I screamed, blew my whistle, and let myself think the unthinkable. What if they can’t find me? What if this is it?
I decided t get mving. I climbed thrugh a small pening, but when I peered ver the next edge, my heart sank: there was a 30-ft drp. There was n way dwn. I was trapped.
I knew with that extreme Arizna heat in the day and bitter desert cld at night, I wuldn’t last lng. But I thught my mther was sure t call the plice fr help if she culdn’t get in tuch with me. With a little hpe, I prayed the plice wuld send a helicpter (直升机) t my resecu.

Nrman Rckwell didn’t create his celebrated images using nly brush and paint. They ften tk shape first as scenes that Rckwell literally acted ut, nt nly fr his editrs at the Saturday Evening Pst, but fr his real-life mdels, t. “It was difficult,” he nce explained, “but I felt it was the best way t get acrss my meaning.” And s he wuld enthusiastically play ut his visins and ideas, a ne-man shw packed with just the right expressins, giving enugh details f each character in the scene t inspire his mdels and mre imprtantly, get his editrs t buy his ideas.
Nw, mre than 30 years after his death, Rckwell is still acknwledged fr skillfully dcumenting the best f 20th century American life with drawings f simple emtins inspired by everyday peple. T create his detailed recllectins f everyday American life, Rckwell wrked much like a film directr, nt just acting ut the scenes in his imaginatin, but lking fr lcatins, casting everyday peple frm his twn fr particular parts.
The recgnitin he received strngly prves Rckwell’s superir skills as a stryteller and is the subject f anther kind f ne-man shw: the upcming exhibitin at the Smithsnian American Art Museum in Washingtn, D.C., titled Telling Stries: Nrman Rckwell frm the Cllectins f Gerge Lucas and Steven Spielberg. The exhibit, gathered tgether frm the private cllectins f these tw ppular film directrs, will feature rarely viewed pieces f Rckwell’s artwrks.
That cncentratin f infrmatin as well as emtin is smething essential in Rckwell’s art. Emtin certainly spke t Steven Spielberg when he first saw ne f his favrite Rckwell paintings, High Dive, the August 16, 1947 Pst cver that describes a by at the tp f what must be a twering diving bard. He cruches (蹲伏) high abve a swimming pl, t afraid t either jump r climb back dwn. The painting hangs in Spielberg’s ffice at Amblin Entertainment because it hlds a great deal f meaning fr the filmmaker.
4. Hw did Nrman Rckwell successfully influence his editrs?
A. By perfrming his ideas.B. By hiring mre mdels.
C. By dnating his paintings.D. By drawing actual events.
5. What were the subjects f Rckwell’s wrks?
A. Film directrs.B. Flk strytellers.
C. Natural landscapes.D. Ordinary citizens.
6. What may the by in the painting High Dive inspire the viewers t d?
A. Develp artistic skills.B. Learn hw t act ut.
C. Appreciate nature.D. learn t swim.
7. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T intrduce an exhibit.B. T recmmend a painting.

Hw much f yur mnthly grcery list ends up in the garbage? A new study reveals the average American spends nearly $1,500 per year n fd they’ll never eat.
A recent survey f 2,000 Americans reveals the average shpper wastes $1,493.93 n fd per year. That’s almst a fifth f their grcery bill after every shpping trip. One tenth f respndents claim they “never” purchase fd they dn’t end up eating, while three in 10 say this is smething they “always” d.
Half f respndents prefer t head t the grcery stre alne, and when they d, half are mre likely t stick t their list and 36% are less likely t buy fd they dn’t want r need.
Keeping the list in mind is imprtant, as 38 percent are mre likely t let fd be wasted if it wasn’t riginally n their shpping list. Seven in 10 add that when they g t the stre n an empty stmach, they’re mre likely t buy fds they wn’t eat. S they dn’t d that that way. Sme respndents appear t be in a wasteful cycle when it cmes t fd waste. Nearly half usually buy and end up wasting the same fd every mnth because they think they’ll get arund t eating it.
“We can all d better t limit fd waste by sticking t grcery lists and, when we get hme, priritizing eating ur fds that are perishable, like fruits, vegetables, and dairy prducts” says Avcad C-Funder and CMO Mark Abrials in a statement.
Three-quarters feel guilty abut thrwing away uneaten fd because it’s a waste f mney—and 48 percent feel the same, due t the harm fd waste causes t the envirnment. “When it cmes t fd waste, nbdy is perfect,” Abrials adds. “But in rder t cnsider ur envirnmental impact, nt t mentin wasted mney, we think it’s essential t be thughtful abut everything we purchase—whether that’s fd, mattresses r ther gds.”
8. What percentage f fd d peple buy but never eat?
A. Abut 10%.B. Abut 20%.C. Abut 30%.D. Abut 50%.
9. What is the shpping habit f the majrity f respndents?

Yu might want t think twice befre ging t the mvies n date night. A new study reveals why.
The UK-based Betway Casin cnducted a scientific experiment t determine hw much bacteria can be fund at mvie theaters. Betway swabbed (擦拭) five seats and five cup-hlders in five theaters acrss the United Kingdm and sent these ff fr testing at a micrbilgy labratry. Betway als swabbed and tested three tilet seats fr cmparisn. The average number f bacteria clnies fr mvie theater seats, cup hlders, and tilet seats was then calculated.
The research indicates a shcking presence f 1,864 bacteria clnies n an average mvie theater seat, dwarfing (使渺小) the 135 clnies typically fund n tilet seats by 14 times. This suggests that the nearly 7.3 billin tickets expected t be sld in mvie theaters wrldwide in 2024 culd cntribute t an envirnment ripe fr bacteria grwth. Meanwhile, the variatin in cleanliness amng different theaters and seat materials was nted, with the dirtiest seat harbring up t 3,000 clnies and the cleanest at just 80. Perhaps mre shcking is the discvery that cinema cup hlders cntain an average f 2,396 bacteria clnies. This figure represents 18 times mre bacteria than fund n a standard tilet seat.
Betway ffers practical advice t ensure mvie enthusiasts can cntinue enjying their utings withut taking hme unwanted micrbial (微生物的) gifts kept as reminders f the utings. Recmmendatins include washing hands immediately after returning hme, and changing clthes t avid spreading bacteria t furniture. While the cinematic wrld ffers a gateway t unique strytelling and entertainment, it als expses mviegers t a hidden micrbial universe. By adpting simple practices, mviegers can minimize their risk and fcus n the magic f the mvies, free frm cncern ver the bacteria sharing their seats.
