Jhannes Fritz, a bilgist, needed t cme up with a plan, again, if he was ging t prevent his rare and belved birds frm ging extinct.
T survive the Eurpean winter, the nrthern bald ibis — which had nce disappeared entirely frm the wild n the cntinent—needs t migrate (迁徙) suth fr the winter, ver the Alps, befre the muntains becme impassable. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin t migrate, and they are nw reaching the muntains t late t make it ver the peaks, lcking them in an icy death trap. Determined t save them, Mr. Fritz decided he wuld teach the birds a new, safer migratin rute by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. And he was cnfident he culd succeed in this daring, uncnventinal plan—because he had dne it befre.
Mr. Fritz learned t fly, mdifying a light aircraft s it wuld fly at speeds slw enugh fr his winged students t keep up. In 2004, Mr. Fritz led the first flck frm Austria t Italy, and has since led 15 such migratins. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 yung ibises, many f which then started t pass the rute nt their wn yung. Fr nw, hwever, the main wrry is getting the birds t fllw the aircraft. “While they have a strng bnd with their ‘mthers’ and fllw them arund n the grund, flying is mre difficult,” Fritz said.
“Fly Away Hme was a huge hit with us bilgists,” Mr. Fritz said, recalling the 1996 mvie in which characters lead the migratin f rphaned Canada geese in a hang glider. When Mr. Fritz declared he’d d the same with the ibises, he was initially laughed at. But thrugh years f trial and errr, he succeeded. He even learned t fly like a bird, he said. Mr. Fritz’s tw sns, bth nw teenagers, fllwed their flying father and the migrating birds n the grund, and his family and clleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. But the inevitable risks are “necessary”, Mr. Fritz said. “It’s nt s much a jb,” he added, “but my life’s purpse.”
24. Why did Mr. Fritz guide the birds himself in a tiny aircraft?
A. He wanted t learn frm them. B. He shwed them a safer flyway.
C. They needed t be fed in the air. D. They were ften lst n the way.
25. Hw des the authr shw Fritz is a preserver f the ibises?
A. By listing cncrete numbers. B. By cnducting a survey.
C. By perfrming experiments. D. By making a cmparisn.
26. Which f the fllwing can best describe Mr. Fritz?
A. Imaginative and hnest. B. Generus and easy-ging.
C. Energetic and pen-minded. D. Strng-willed and brave.
27. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Fritz nce starred in a film in 1996. B. Fritz had n difficulty with his wrk.
C. Fritz thught what he did was rewarding. D. Fritz was challenged by thse arund him.

Lining up t bard a plane has becme an evident indicatr f hw ur sciety has cmmdified (使商品化) the very act f waiting. The mre yu pay, the sner yu can get n the plane and the less likely yu will have t check a bag. It’s nt just airlines, it’s als museums, nline purchases and amusement parks where VIP status can help yu avid lines. When did the act f waiting get such a bad reputatin?
The very act f waiting can enhance ur appreciatin f smething. We enjy the anticipatin like a child waiting fr Christmas r summer vacatin. Perhaps the persn waiting in line t see his favrite singer perfrm in cncert relishes the night mre because f the time invested in getting int the venue.
As ur wrld has sped up, this desirable balance between instant and delayed satisfactin cnflicts with the current expectatins f many peple. When we denigrate (诋毁) the act f waiting, we risk lsing an imprtant part f ur shared humanity. Having t wait is taken as a sign f being less well ff r “nt in the game”. It encurages privileged impatience and disdain (鄙视) fr thse wh are caught waiting.
But the capacity t wait is a fundatinal part f a civilized sciety and thus an imprtant skill t have. If we lse ur ability t stand in line r t wait ur turn, we suffer frm the stress f a changing wrld. If we label peple wh wait as “lsers”, we release strng urges t grab what’s urs at any cst with n cncern abut thse we leave behind. We see the peple in line as “ther”, nt like us, and that dehumanizatin (非人化) is dangerus.
Of curse, we shuld nt have t wait patiently fr everything. Fr example, there are times when injustice deserves immediate actin. Asking peple t wait can be a calculated bstacle t change. In a larger cntext thugh, all f us are suppsed t understand the act f waiting nt nly as a necessary evil but als as an imprtant functin which allws us t participate fully in life alngside ur fellw travelers.
28. What is the authr’s purpse f writing paragraph 1?
A. T draw a cnclusin. B. T explain a new rule.
C. T raise a ht issue. D. T prpse a suggestin.
29. What des the underlined wrd “relishes” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Values. B. Memrizes. C. Hates. D. Ignres.
30. What will happen if we lse ur ability t wait accrding t the text?
A. Our sciety will fall int depressin. B. We will fail t achieve success.
C. Our sciety will see less civilizatin. D. We will suffer frm mental illness.
31. What is the authr’s attitude tward the act f waiting?
A. Favrable. B. Intlerant. C. Objective. D. Dubtful.

When wind blws thrugh a bigleaf maple (大叶枫), paper-thin, wing-like seeds called samaras gently spin twards the grund. The fruit’s tissue allws the wind t guide it further away frm the tree. Inspired by the seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged micrchip, n larger than a grain f sand, that is pwerful enugh t mnitr envirnmental pllutin and airbrne (空气传播的) disease.
Called the micrflier, the micrchip has n mtr t push it frward in the air but instead was designed t catch the wind. T perfect the micrchip’s flying capability and shape, scientists tk inspiratin frm the frms f varius airbrne seeds. The research team imprved varius designs until the micrfliers flew slwly and mre steadily than nature’s samara seeds. The slwer falling rate allws the micrchip t keep flying fr lnger, which gives it mre time t cllect data and mnitr air pllutants and airbrne diseases.
T perfect the micrflier’s flight, researchers tk inspiratin frm children’s pp-up bks t create the three-dimensinal wings. Usually, electrnic micrchips are flat, tw-dimensinal bjects, but smething flat wn’t take flight. T make the 3-D shape, Jhn A. Rgers and his team built a stretched rubber base that the micrchip rests n. The wings pp int flight mde when the rubber base is relaxed.
The chip gathers data with sensrs acrss its surface that can sense and mnitr pH levels, test fr heavy metals r chemicals, and track air pllutin. An antenna (天线) n the micrflier then sends all the cllected data t a cmputer r phne. Rgers and his team are planning t test ut the electrnic chips sn by drpping thusands f the chips in a field. The micrfliers will change clr depending n the number f heavy metals present in the field where they land. A drne will then fly ver the area and take phts f the micrflier’s clrs, allwing researchers t map ut the pllutants.
Rgers and his team als designed the micrchips t break dwn ver time t prevent envirnmental pllutin.
32. What is the winged micrchip designed t d?
A. Guide seeds frm the tree. B. Prevent airbrne diseases.
C. Keep track f air qualities. D. Catch the wind t fly away.
33. What d paragraph 2 and 3 fcus n?
A. Where researchers draw inspiratin. B. Hw the micrflier has imprved.
C. What the micrchip des fr humans. D. Why the micrflier flies mre stably.
34. What d the researchers d with the micrflier in the future?
A. Drp chips in the field. B. Mnitr the sil clr.
C. Map ut air pllutants. D. Handle sil pllutin.
35. Which f the fllwing wuld be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Winged micrchips fr mnitring envirnment
B. Micrflier: A flying device f spreading seeds
C. Drne: A phtgrapher f micrflier’s clrs
D. Electrnic chips fr finding airbrne diseases

There was a stry that all the kids at my schl tld. I dn’t knw if they believed it but sme f them certainly acted as if they did. On the way frm my hme t schl there was a little ld cttage. Yu culd nly just see the cttage, as if it were trying t hide itself behind the trees and bushy garden. At times the children had seen a little ld wman make her way alng the leaf-cvered path frm the frnt dr t the mailbx. Her fingers were twisted in funny shapes, her bdy was bent ver and her back hunched (弓背). If she lifted her head t lk at yu, her face was all wrinkly. “The witch at Number 97” was hw mst kids spke f her. “Dn’t lk in her eyes,” yu culd hear them say. “She’ll capture yu in a magic spell (魔咒), take yu int the huse and never release yu again.”
In the mrnings and at the end f the day, my friends and I wuld pass Number 97 in a grup. We felt safer and mre secure in numbers. But nw, I played the recrder s well that I was asked t jin the schl band, and that meant staying after schl ne afternn a week t rehearse (排练), s I had t walk hme all by myself.
I set ut as I nrmally wuld but as I began t apprach the little ld cttage it lked scarier than ever. Fr a while I hesitated, nt knwing what t d. I wanted t run but felt I really needed t just walk my way as usual. I tk sme deep breaths and tried t think f smething different: Hme, supper and my bed. When I started thinking abut the witch again, the cttage appeared big and frightening in my thughts. “N,” I said t myself, “cncentrate n hw gd it will feel t get hme,” and with that I started t feel easier.
