Born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark, Hans Christian Andersen was an emotional, yet imaginative, child. His father, a poor shoemaker, died in 1816. With a mother who was very superstitious（迷信的）and unable to read or write, the boy received little education as a child.

Andersen traveled to Copenhagen. There, he hoped to become an actor or singer. He was lucky enough to spend some time with the Royal Theater, but when his voice changed, he had to leave. Luckily, one of the directors helped him by arranging his education.

Andersen gained admission to the University of Copenhagen in 1828, and his literary career began soon afterwards. He hoped to achieve success with poems and plays, but underestimated the kind of stories which have made him famous. Though not particularly fond of children, he had a gift for entertaining them. This led a friend to suggest he write down the stories he invented.

Many of Andersen's tales are based on folklore, and many are products of his own imagination. All of them are told in a humorous and informal style that children loved from the start. Few serious critics, however, took notice of them when they first appeared.

Before his death in 1875, Andersen regularly traveled around Europe, and was enthusiastically welcomed everywhere he went. Because he had always wanted to be famous, he worked hard to gain a reputation in European literary circles. Being a rather vain man, he complained in "The Fairy Tale of My Life", one of three autobiographies he wrote, that people were not interested in his “serious” writing.

Nowadays, of course, Hans Christian Andersen is a household name. Whether he would have liked it or not, millions of children and adults will always be grateful for the magic his stories have brought to their lives.

24. Why did Andersen decide to write down the stories he invented?

A. Because he liked his stories.

B. Because he liked children very much.

C. Because people were fond of his "serious" writing.

D. Because he was suggested to do so by one of his friends.

25. What does the underlined word “underestimated” probably mean in paragraph 3?

A. Supported.

B. Understood.

C. Undervalued.

D. Reviewed.

26. According to this passage, which of the following words can describe Andersen better?

A. Intelligent and honest.

B. Creative and determined.

C. Aggressive and curious.

D. Generous and outgoing.

27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Andersen is also a magician.

B. Andersen is still famous now.

C. Andersen didn't like his name.

D. Andersen gave lives to many children and adults.

C

When my two boys have free time, they want to go to the mall. No, they aren't shop-a-holics （购物狂）. They want to go to gaze at sneakers.

These aren't the sneakers you find in Foot Locker. They are limited editions-usually Nikes - that range in price from $250-$900 or more. There's the Chunky Dunkys, a collaboration between Nike and ice cream maker Ben and Jerry's. And the Space Jam Jordans. And dozens of other pairs of shoes, all of which they know by name and all of which are very, very expensive.

That made me wonder: How did this sneaker culture develop? After all, when I was a kid, I wanted Jordan brand shoes too. But they cost $100 and I would wear them until they fell apart. Now, my boys long for shoes that cost ten times that and if they got them, they would never even think of scuffing them up by wearing them.

It all started during the Industrial Revolution, when the very wealthy began to find they had leisure time on their hands, Elizabeth Semmelhack, who runs the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, told me.

“These ＇nouveau riche（暴发户）＇industrialists wanted to show that they had arrived. And so, the ancient game of tennis was revived. " explained Semmelhack, “But the problem with lawn tennis - one, the lawns of lawn tennis are extremely expensive, so they didn't want people to run around in leather shoes. And two, when you play on lawn, you can get your feet wet. So rubber soled shoes, the sneaker, was invented as something that the wealthy could wear as they pursued these wealthy pleasures. "Besides, rubber was, at the time, quite expensive, so having shoes with rubber soles was seen as a status symbol.

But for most of us, sneakers were something you wore--not something you collected. With the development of internet, older versions of shoes could be purchased and collected. And sneaker companies, Nike especially, leaned into the trend.

28. What is the Chunky Dunkys?

A. It's a company's name.

B. It's a kind of ice cream.

C. It's a kind of limited edition sneaker.

D. It's one of the author's kids' name.

29. Why did the author mention his experience as a kid?

A. To show he was poor when he was a kid.

B. To encourage his children to wear cheap shoes.

C. To give an example about the development of sneaker culture.

D. To show Jordan brand shoes have been popular for a long time.

30. What can we know from Semmelhack's words?

A. Rubber soled shoes could prevent feet from wetting.

B. These 'nouveau riche' industrialists[x1] created lawn tennis.

C. Leather shoes were more expensive than rubber soled shoes.

D. The very wealthy were busy with their work during Industrial Revolution.

31. What does the author's attitude towards collecting sneakers?

A. Objective.

B. Critical.

C. Favourable.

D. Unconcerned.

D

Pests destroy up to 40% of the world's crops each year, causing $220 billion in economic losses, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization （FAO）. Trapview is using the power of AI to help deal with the problem.

The Slovenian company has developed a device that traps and identifies pests, and acts as an advance warning system by predicting how. they will spread.

"We've built the biggest database of pictures of insects in the world, which allows us to really use modern AI-based computing vision in the most proper way. ” says Matej Štefančič, CEO of Trapview and parent company EFOS.

As climate change causes species to spread, and disturbs the migration patterns of highly destructive pests, such as desert locusts（蝗虫）, Štefančič hopes to help farmers save their crops with quicker, smarter interventions.

Trapview's devices use chemicals to attract pests, which are photographed by a camera inside. AI cross-references the images against Trapview's database, and is able to identify over 60 species, such as the cotton bollworm（棉铃虫）, which can damage lettuce and tomatoes. Once identified, the system incorporates location and weather data, maps out the likely impact of the insect and sends the findings to farmers via an app.

Trapview＇s app is also able to calculate where and when best to use pesticides（杀虫剂）. Štefančič says that Trapview can significantly reduce the use of chemical sprays and the need for farmers to visit their fields. By reducing the emissions generated by farmers driving to their fields, and those associated with the production and transportation of pesticides, the technology can also help the climate, he claims.

Trapview says it has sold over 7, 500 devices in more than 50 countries since it launched in 2012. It has focused on Italy, France, Spain, the United States and Brazil, targeting crops as varied as grapes, tomatoes, olives, tree fruits and cotton.

32. What can we know about Trapview's devices?

A. They can trap and identify pests.

B. They can cause species to spread.

C. They are just an advance warning system.

D. They are used only in the United States and Brazil.

33. What is causing the desert locusts' migration patterns disturbed?

A. The lack of crops.

B. The use of pesticides.

C. The climate change.

D. The smart invention.

34. In which way can Trapview's devices help the climate?

A. By using a lot of pesticides.

B. By calculating the number of pests.

C. By collecting images and identifying species.

D. By reducing the emissions of the production and transportation of pesticides.

35. What's the best title for the text?

A. How Pests Destroy the World's Crops

B. How to Operate the AI-powered Insect Trap

C. How to Use Pesticides and Other Chemicals Properly

D. How an AI-powered Insect Trap Solves a $220 Billion Pest Problem
