Sewing is an art. It is one that takes patience, time, and true talent. Julia,a woman from Chicago, is the definition of a talented tailor.

In 2019, Costa Rica was named “Champion of the Earth”by the United Nations for its direct role in protecting nature and fighting climate change.

Over 98% of Costa Rica’s energy has come from renewable sources since 2014 and 70% of all public transport is expected to turn electric by 2035. Through a combination of protected areas, ecosystem services programs, and ecotourism, Costa Rica has successfully restored its forest cover from 26% in 1983 to over 52% in 2021—proving to the rest of the world that reversing forest destruction is possible with the right approach.

“Our sustainable tourism model has allowed us to seek and attract groups of travelers that recognize our differences and the quality of experiences in the country,” Costa Rica’s Tourism Minister Gustavo Segura Sancho said.

The country contains more than 6% of the world’s biodiversity despite covering only about 0.03% of the surface of the globe. Housing so much biological variety doesn’t just make Costa Riea a dream location for nature lovers, it also makes the country especially vulnerable (易受伤害的) to climate change.

“Despite being a small developing country, Costa Rica has decades of sustainable tourism efforts underway,” says Segura Sancho.“Our work involves the efforts of individuals and organizations throughout Costa Rica.”

The country’s tourism model was developed with three primary factors in mind: sustainability, innovation, and inclusiveness. Costa Rica’s tourist attractions focus on activities that respect the environment and offer travelers opportunities to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to conservation and cultural heritage (遗产).

Focusing on long-term sustainability within the tourism industry involved a few risks, for example by making the country a bit more expensive to visit. Luckily, there is a growing tendency among international tourists to choose to consider destinations making an effort to conserve and protect natural resources. The country’s decades-long investment in sustainable tourism was a good one.

8．What does the underlined word “reversing” probably mean in paragraph 2?

A．Protecting something endangered.

B．Considering something as possible.

C．Making a situation more unfavorable.

D．Turning a trend the opposite way around.

9．Who is most likely to choose to travel in Costa Rica?

A．An ease seeker. B．A nature lover.

C．An adventure fan. D．A fantasy enthusiast.

10．What’s paragraph 6 mainly about?

A．Tourist attractions in Costa Rica,

B．Guidelines for Costa Rica tourism.

C．Opportunities to explore Costa Rica.

D．Ways to protect Costa Rica’s cultural heritage.

11．What is good news for Costa Rica tourism?

A．Funding from the United Nations,

B．Growing speed of the country’s economy.

C．Tourists’ awareness of sustainable tourism.

D．Long-term investment from the government.

Many studies have shown that when people read on-screen, they don’t understand what they’ve read as well as when they read in print. For example, researchers in Spain and Israel took a close look at 54 studies comparing digital and print reading.Their 2018 study involved more than 171,000 readers. Comprehension, they found,was better overall when people read print rather than digital texts.

Maryanne Wolf, who works at the University of California, Los Angeles explained that reading is not natural. We learn to talk by listening to those around us. It’s pretty automatic. But learning to read takes real work because the brain has no special network of cells just for reading.

To understand text, the brain borrows networks that evolved(进化)to do other things. For example, the part that evolved to recognize faces is called into action to recognize letters. This is similar to how you might adapt a tool for some new use. For example, a coat hanger is great for putting your clothes in the closet(衣柜). But if a blueberry rolls under the refrigerator, you might straighten out the coat hanger and use it to reach under the refrigerator and pull out the fruit. As a result, the brain might slip into skim(浏览)mode when you’re reading on a screen. It may switch to deep-reading mode when you turn to print.

Your reading doesn’t just depend on the device, however. It also depends on what you assume about the text. Baron, who is a scientist studying language and reading,calls this mindset. She says one way mindset works is in anticipating how easy or hard we expect the reading to be. If we think it will be easy, we might not put in much effort. Much of what we read on-screen tends to be text messages and social media posts. They’re usually easy to understand. So, when people read on-screen, they read faster. When reading fast, we may not absorb all the ideas as well.

So if you really need to learn something, you’re probably better off with print.

12．What is Maryanne Wolf’s point of view?

A．Reading is unnatural for the brain.

B．Digital texts are easier to understand.

C．Old tools should be adapted for new use.

D．There are two different modes of reading.

13．How was Maryanne Wolf’s point of view explained?

A．By referring to the results of previous studies.

B．By sorting data collected through experiments.

C．By analyzing examples of people’s reading experiences.

D．By comparing reading to doing things with borrowed tools.

14．What will Baron probably agree?

A．An effective reader absorbs all the ideas.

B．Digital reading devices can be put into better use.

C．Reading strategies should be applied to improve reading speed.

D．We have different mindsets in screen reading and print reading.

15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．What’s behind how you read, device or psychology?

B．Are social media posts fueling up a fast reading craze?

C．Will you learn better from reading on-screen or on paper?

D．Which employs more parts of your brain, reading or listening?

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Mr. Maude was thinking about what to buy for his wife as a gift for their 10thwedding anniversary(周年纪念日). One day,he happened to notice Mrs. Maude talking to a friend, showing interest in her ruby ring and he realized he would be able to make Mrs. Maude happy if he bought one for her. Mr. Maude couldn’t understand why ladies had so much passion for expensive stones of all colors, but he would be willing to do anything for his wife for such a great occasion.

As SM is a famous jewelry brand(珠宝品牌),Mr. Maude decided to buy the ruby ring from their online store. He found the store and contacted them. A lady at the customer service recommended one that she promised no lady could refuse. It was worth $12,000. Of course, it would cost Mr. Maude an arm and a leg, but he thought Mrs. Maude deserved it. Without much hesitation, Mr. Maude bought what the service lady recommended, expecting to give his wife a big surprise. What he didn’t expect was that what he finally received from SM was more than a surprise

Days after Mr. Maude placed the order online, he received a parcel from SM when his wife was taking care of the garden. Thinking that he needed to take a look at the real thing before he gave it to his wife, he took the parcel to the bedroom and opened it. Inside the package, there was some wrapping bubble plastic sheets. When Mr.Maude emptied the package, to his surprise, he found not one but two ring boxes.Inside each box, there was a ruby ring. The two rings are only slightly different from each other.“This is obviously not supposed to be a buy-one-get-one-for-free offer.Ruby rings are just too expensive for that. Most probably, this is a mistake of some kind,”Mr. Maude said to himself.
