Peple are already paying mre and mre fr fd due t glbal warming —— and rising temperatures will drive fd prices a lt higher in the next decade. Accrding t a study by the Eurpean Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alne will be pushing up wrldwide fd prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year.
T find ut hw this is affecting fd prices, Maximilian Ktz at the Ptsdam Institute fr Climate Impact Research and his clleagues examined data n the mnthly prices and weather cnditins in 121 cuntries between 1996 and 2021. By lking fr assciatins between fd prices and factrs such as the average mnthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures f drught and extreme rainfall, they fund a strng link between the average temperature and the fd prices a mnth r s later.
In regins nrth f 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) f New Yrk City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led t falling fd prices. But abve-average temperatures increased fd prices in summer and at all times in the rest f the wrld.
“The study didn’t lk at why prices rse, but the likely explanatin is that extreme heat is reducing yields,” Ktz says. “Crps may be drying ut n the vine when they shuld be being harvested.” Factrs such as extreme rainfall had less impact n fd prices than average temperatures. This may be because flding tends t be lcalized, while abve-average temperatures can be very widespread.
Other studies have reached similar cnclusins. Ktz’ s team then went further by investigating hw fd prices culd change based n average temperature rises in climate mdel predictin. In the wrst situatin, glbal fd inflatin (食品通胀) due t climate change ges ver 4% per year by 2060. “We need t be aware f the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges fr fd security,” says Ktz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting fd prductin arund the wrld. If farmers dn't adapt their practices t better cpe with rising temperatures, the lsses will becme mre serius.”
28. What des the study fcus n?
A. The factrs in the rising living csts.
B. The impact f climate change n fd prices.
C. The effects f natural disasters n fd prductin.
D. The cmparisn f fd prices in different regins.
29. Hw did researchers reach their cnclusins?
A. By analyzing a mass f data.
B. By referring t previus studies.
C. By tracking sme cities fr years.
D. By cnducting a survey amng farmers.
30. What is the main reasn fr the rising fd prices accrding t Ktz?
A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature.
C. The increasing demand fr crps. D. The restrictins f trade plicies.
31. What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A. T appeal t peple t value fd security.
B. T predict the lss caused by the heat wave.
C. T urge farmers t act t the climate issue.
D. T clarify the situatin f glbal fd inflatin.

Many cncepts that are central t the human experience are abstract, such as relatinships, ideas, and time — things we can't directly see r tuch. We cmmnly use cncrete language t talk and think abut these things, ften thrugh metaphrs(隐喻).
Using metaphrs is far mre than a petic device f factual statements. A study cnducted at Purchase Cllege fund that metaphrs can frame peple's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasning and subsequent actins. Fr example, describing the effrt t stp climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused peple t feel mre urgency abut reducing emissins.
Anther example is the lightbulb (灯泡) metaphr cmmnly used t describe new ideas, suggesting that new thughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned n. Hwever, this metaphr implies that new ideas cme effrtlessly and are accessible nly t a few geniuses, such as Isaac Newtn, wh suppsedly develped his thery f gravity frm a sudden insight abut a falling apple. It may lead peple t questin their capability t generate news ideas, and as a behaviral cnsequence, peple may underestimate the rle f hard wrk and cntinuus learning in bringing abut change.
An alternative way t describe ideas is by cmparing new thughts t seeds that fall n fertile grund and — if cared fr — will grw and develp ver time. Different frm the lightbulb metaphr, the seed metaphr implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a labrius prcess, which requires time and effrt. It als suggests that anybdy can be the cultivatr f ideas as lng as they put their mind t it.
The subtle effects f metaphrs shw hw pwerful language can be, even thugh we ften dn't realize it. Wh'd have thught a simple use f a lightbulb metaphr culd prfundly affect hw we understand the cncept f innvatin? Given the nature f ur metaphrical minds, it is wrth asking: are ur metaphrs suitable? We we it t urselves and thers t use metaphrs apprpriately. These chices — cnscius r nt — can be cnstructive r destructive.
32. What des the study find abut metaphrs?
A. They make language mre petic.
B. They help clarify abstract cncepts.
C. They may cause cnflicts between peple.
D. They can shape peple's minds and behavir.
33. What des the underlined wrd“ underestimate” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Realize. B. Overlk. C. Emphasize. D. Acknwledge.
34. Hw des the seed metaphr differ frm the lightbulb metaphr?
A. It stresses the imprtance f natural talent.
B. It simplifies the prcess f cultivating new ideas.
C. It leads t peple's dubt abut their creativity.
D. It indicates cnsistent effrts f individuals.
35. What is the purpse f the last paragraph?
A. T call n peple t use metaphrs prperly.
B. T present the ptential limitatins f metaphrs.
C. T reveal the difficulty f understanding metaphrs.
D. T urge peple t reflect n the cncept f innvatin.

I'm Tia, a passinate teenage girl, living next dr t the crner f 71st Street. It's my crner. Mst flks find there's nthing there, just an empty lt. But t me, it's like a wide-pen treasure bx. Stepping int it, I feel like leaping int a sea f green. The tall grass, prbably just weeds, with butterflies gathering arund, smells clean and fresh, and I wnder why I'm the nly ne wh's thankful fr this place.
One evening, Mama said, “Tia, the city wants t turn that crner f yurs int a parking lt.” I stpped in my tracks. “N! They can't d that!”
“Tia, yu have t make them see what yu see. Make sme nise abut it. N ne ever gt any place by sitting back and staying quiet.” That night, I lay awake thinking fr a lng time. “I've gt t d smething.”
Early the next mrning I dragged a chair dwn t the crner with a big cardbard n which I'd painted “N Parking Lt! Save Our Nature” in large letters. I sat dwn and waited. Mst peple passed by, paying n attentin t me. My friend Tanya asked me what I was ding, and I tld her. Then came Mrs. DiRisi, a beauty shp wner, wh angrily waved her hand at my sign, saying. “My custmers need a place t park. Yu g hme, little girl.” But I didn't mve. Then I nticed a wman dwn the street taking pictures f my crner. She walked ver t me, smiling, “I'm Sara Bennett. Can I talk t yu?” I ndded. I knew I needed t make sme nise. I started talking, and Ms. Bennett scribbled n a ntepad. “A walking path wuld be nice, maybe a vegetable garden. And a bench, s peple culd sit dwn and listen t the birds singing.” I was surprised at myself; at hw many ideas I'd gt fr this crner.
The next mrning, my brther burst int my rm with a mrning paper. “Fighting fr Nature n the Crner f 71³⁺” was the title f the article, and alng with it was a picture f me!
After breakfast my brther, Mama and I dragged ur chairs and signs back t the crner.
