Bike-friendly cities arund the wrld
Cycling is kind t the envirnment s it is an excellent way t take in the city. Here are 4 bike-friendly cities adpting this green mde f transprt t reduce greenhuse gas emissins.
Malmö, Sweden
Cycling in Malmö is enjyable due t the relaxed and easy-ging manner f mst cyclists. The calming atmsphere makes it a great experience, even fr nervus riders. A highly recmmended bike rute is frm Ribersbr g park t Limhamn Harbur, where riders can take a few gd phts f the famus Öresund Bridge.

The input Dad has n my career is incmparable. My earliest memries are f Dad sitting in the kitchen playing the guitar, listening t his favurite sng by his favurite singer, and encuraging his little girl t pke（戳） keys randmly n the pian. Even watching Tp f the Pps, he wuld get s passinate abut music in it. We weren’t a religius family, but there was smething spiritual abut Dad’s cnnectin with music.
Music als became a surce f cmfrt fr me. I failed t d well academically at schl and had n friends. Being at schl cnsumed s much f my emtinal energy. Instead f ging t schl t learn stuff, I felt as thugh I was simply trying t get peple t like me. Things were better, but the nly time I truly felt happy was when I was at hme listening t music with Mum and Dad r writing sngs n the pian — and the lder I gt, the mre pwerful music felt.
Dad was always my biggest supprter. When I started giving live perfrmances at the lcal bar, he was the ne wh drve me there and back. Freeing up that time wasn’t easy fr an actr. His jb might mean three weeks in the Czech Republic r wrking with Gerge Lucas n The Adventures f Yung Indiana Jnes in Hllywd.
Dad has been invlved with sme amazing stuff, but Daddy Pig is the ne that’s had the biggest impact all ver the wrld. When I was flying t Australia fr my first tur, I was trying t find smething t watch n the little screen and I nticed they had Peppa Pig. If I’m missing hme and family, I always put it n. Daddy Pig is a fairly real versin f my dad — he lves chclate cake, he’s funny and usually breaks things when he’s trying t mend them. Mum and Dad were friends with ne f the prducers f the shw and I ften wnder if he lked at my dad and thught, “That’s him …that’s Daddy Pig.”
24．What can we learn abut the authr’s father?
A．He was gd at writing sngs.B．He was attached t music in his sul.
C．He encuraged her t play the guitar.D．He was passinate abut watching TV series.

A．By picking her up in a tight schedule.B．By ding a demanding jb as an actr.
C．By watching her musical perfrmances.D．By giving live perfrmances at the lcal bar.

Accrding t a new USDA （the U. S. Department f Agriculture）reprt, U. S. frests culd wrsen glbal warming because they are being destryed by natural disasters and are lsing their ability t absrb planet-warming gases as they get lder. The reprt predicts that the ability f frests t absrb carbn will start declining after 2025 and that frests culd release up t 100 millin metric tns f carbn a year as their emissins frm decaying（腐烂） trees g abve their carbn absrptin. Frests culd becme a “substantial carbn surce” by 2070, the USDA reprt says.
The lss f carbn absrptin is driven in part by natural disasters such as wildfires, trnades and hurricanes, which are increasing in frequency and strength as glbal temperatures rise. The disasters destry frestland, destrying its ecsystem and decreasing its ability t absrb carbn, accrding t Lynn Riley, a senir manager f climate science at the American Frest Fundatin. Aging frests als cntribute. The reprt fund that lder, mature trees absrb less carbn than yunger trees f the same species, and U. S. frests are rapidly aging.
This trend is likely t cntinue, as frests cme under increasing threat frm climate change and explitatin（开采）. The typical trpical frest may becme a carbn surce by the 2060s, accrding t Simn Lewis, prfessr in the schl f gegraphy at Leeds University. “Humans have been lucky s far, as trpical frests are cleaning up lts f ur pllutin, but they can’t keep ding that indefinitely,” he said. “We need t cut dwn fssil fuel emissins befre the glbal carbn cycle starts wrking against us.”
U. S. frests currently absrb 11 percent f U. S. carbn emissins, r 150 millin metric tns f carbn a year, equal t the cmbined emissins frm 40 cal pwer plants, accrding t the reprt. The lss f frests as natural carbn absrbers will require the U. S. t cut emissins mre rapidly t reach net zer. “As we wrk t decarbnize（碳减排）, frests are ne f the greatest tls. If we were t lse that tl, it means we will cntribute that much mre in emissins,” Riley said.
28．What is the main finding f the reprt?
A．Frests are suffering frm decaying trees.B．Frests culd cntribute t glbal warming.
C．Frests are being destryed by natural disasters.D．Frests have becme substantial carbn absrbers.
29．What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．The key rle f frests in the ecsystem.
B．The cnsequences f frequent natural disasters.
C．The impact f rising glbal temperatures n frests.
D．The reasns fr frests’ declining ability t absrb carbn.
30 What is Sim n Lewis’ suggestin n addressing the prblem?
A．Reducing fssil fuel emissins.B．Cleaning up decaying trees in time.
C Planting trees n a large scale.D．Limiting the explitatin f frests.
31．What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A．T ffer suggestins n frest management.
B．T stress the significance f frest prtectin.
C．T present the effrts made t reach net zer.
D．T shw the carbn emissins frm cal pwer plants.

A lt f manufactured glass tday made frm sand and sdium carbnate（碳酸钠）can be reused r melted dwn and recycled int new items, but it desn’t break dwn in the envirnment and will sit in landfills fr thusands f years. A team f Chinese scientists aimed t deal with this envirnmental cncern by develping an Ec-cnscius alternative.
In a study published recently in the jurnal Science Advances, a team at the Chinese Academy f Sciences’ Institute f Prcess Engineering describe hw they engineered bidegradable（可生物降解的）glass made frm amin acids（氨基酸）. That glass wuld have a smaller impact n the envirnment and can break dwn in a few weeks r in several mnths.
In a test, glass beads（玻璃珠）made ut f amin acids were placed under the skin f mice, and the breakdwn f the beads and the skin healing prcess were bserved fr 30 days. A diagram frm the study shwed hw the mice’s bdies brke dwn the beads. In that mnth, the glass implant degraded beneath the skin, the wund site recvered, and fur grew back. “Thrughut the experimental perid, n mice exhibited any pain-related behavir that may have been caused by the glass implantatin, and nne f them experienced bvius weight lss,” the researchers wrte in their paper.
Althugh amin acids d degrade ver time in the envirnment, this bidegradable glass is nt as durable as traditinal glass, because amin acids can break dwn quickly in high temperature. In rder t vercme this hurdle, the researchers chemically imprved the amin acids using the heating-cling prcedure applied in glass manufacturing. This is when materials fr the glass are heated t becme sft and then rapidly cled s as t make the glass tugher.
“It’s imprtant t pint ut that this bidegradable glass is currently in the lab stage, and far frm large-scale cmmercializatin,” emphasized Yan Xuehai, a prfessr invlved in the study, in a press release.
32．What is an advantage f the new glass?
A．It takes less time t break dwn.B．It can be recycled at a lwer cst.
C．It has a wider range f applicatins.D．It can be prduced n a larger scale.
33．Why did researchers implant glass beads inside mice?
A．T investigate why amin acids are medically useful.
B．T assess whether the glass is bilgically harmless.
C．T explre hw lng it takes fr the glass t degrade.
D．T bserve if the glass can be melted dwn in mice’s stmach.
34．What des the underlined wrd “hurdle” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A．The difficulty f selecting materials fr the glass.B．The challenge f imprving glass manufacturing.
C．The instability f amin acids in high temperature.D．The envirnmental prblems caused by amin acids.
35．Which can be the best title fr the text?
A．Bidegradable Glass: Clser t SustainabilityB．Bidegradable Glass: Ready t Hit the Market
C．Amin Acids Lwer Csts f Glass ManufacturingD．Amin Acids Cast New Light n Glass Applicatin
