Scientists in Germany say they have used new technology to create see-through human organs (器官). They say the technology could lead to production of three-dimensional (3D) body parts for use in transplant (移植) operations.
The scientists are with Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. They said they developed a process that uses a substance to make see- through organs, such as the brain and kidneys. The German researchers use lasers (激光) to obtain a picture of the organ to be replaced. The laser light helps them see every single cell inside the blood vessels (血管中的细胞).
The researchers use this information to print out the structure of the whole organ. For this, they need special equipment. They use a 3D printer to produce the structure--one that has height, width and length.
The researchers then load the printer with stem cells, which can become any kind of cell in the body. The stem cells act as “ink” in the printer. They are put into the correct position, making the organ fully operational.
The leader of the study, Ali Erturk, described the new technology as a major development for 3D printing in the medical field.” Previously 3D-printed organs lacked detailed cellular structures because they were based on pictures from computer tomography or MRI machines,” he explained.
“We can see where every single cell is, and we can actually replicate it exactly the same,” Erturk said. “I believe we are much closer to a real human organ for the first time now,” he added. Erturk and his team plan to start by creating bioprinted organs. They hope to develop a human kidney within 5-6 years. The researchers will first test to see if animals can live with bioprinted organs and could start tests within five to ten years, he predicted.

Six “sacrificial pits(祭祀坑)”, dating back 3,200 to 4,000 yeas, were newly discovered in Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan. Over 500 artifacts, including gold masks, bronze wares, ivories, jades and textiles were unearthed from the site. Sanxingdui site is located in Sanxingdui Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, on the south bank of Qianjiang River (Yangtze River), a tributary of Tuojiang River in the north of Chengdu Plain. The site covers an area of about 12 square kilometers, and the core area is the ancient city of Sanxingdui, with an area of about 3.6 square kilometers. It is the largest and highest-grade central site found in Sichuan Basin during the Xia and Shang period.
Sanxingdui site, first found in 1929, is generally considered as one of the most important archaeological sites along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the work of excavation on the site only began in 1986, when two pits — widely believed for sacrificial ceremonies — were accidentally discovered.
Investigation in the area around No.1 and 2 pits was relaunched in October 2019, and No.3 pit was found in December 2019, according to Lei Yu, a researcher of Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute who heads the ongoing excavation. Thirty four research universities and research institutes have cooperated in this project. He said the new discoveries will help to better understand many unexplained findings in 1986.
More excavation followed in March 2020, and five more pits were found last year. And detailed research began in October. Excavation capsules with hi-tech equipment were set up in the pits in order to prevent the site from further damage.
According to the National Cultural Heritage Administration, studies of Sanxingdui site will become a crucial project in an ongoing program Archaeology China, which tries to explain the origins of Chinese civilization and how diverse cultures communicate and come together.

It is common to see most livestreamers sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year-old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a livestreaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce to help her people live a better life.
Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300, 000 followers.
Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there -by being a livestreamer with the help of her cousin.
At the beginning, she didn’t make any money. Zeng’s parents didn’t give her any support until she could stand on her own feet and help people sell their products. She has now sold local agricultural products worth tens of millions of yuan, like fermented tofu, preserved pork and dried sweet potatoes.
“I’m a daughter of the great mountains. I can also be a contributor to rural development in this new times,” she said.
Rural revitalization (振兴) is a key part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Zeng hopes her experience can encourage more young people to return to their rural hometowns and start their own businesses. In 2021, after she became a deputy (代表) of the Loudi Municipal People’s Congress, she put forward a proposal to ensure that “each village has one product and one livestreaming host of its own”, She plans to help cultivate 100 social media influencers from her county within three years, and two villages have taken part in the project. “I believe that the rural areas will become a big stage, and being a farmer will be seen is a respectable job too,” said Zeng.

Over a hundred years after it sank near Antarctica, the ship of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton has been found using underwater robots.
In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and his 27 members left England in a wooden sailing ship called the Endurance. Shackleton hoped to become the first to cross Antarctica. But in 1915, the Endurance became trapped in the thick ice over the Weddell Sea. The ice broke the Endurance and later sank it. Then the ship’s captain kept accurate records of the ship’s position, and the ship’s photographer even took pictures of it as it went down. But the ship, deep in the icy waters near Antarctica, had never been found.
On Wednesday, a search team called “Endurance 22” announced it had located the ship. The Endurance was found 3 kilometers below the ocean’s surface, about 6 kilometers south of its last known position. According to the Endurance 22 team’s report, the name can be clearly read on the back of the ship, and its wheel looks ready to be turned.
Though the ship is made of wood, it has survived with little damage. Scientists say that the small organisms(微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in the cold waters around Antarctica.
The team ran the project from an ice-breaking ship. To locate the Endurance, the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths. The robots could travel by themselves under the ice and go where the ship could not. For the last two weeks, the Sabertooth robots have been searching the sea floor in a 390-square kilometer area.
The robots were looking for anything above the sea floor. Last Saturday, the ship was found. Once the ship was located, the Sabertooths used high-quality cameras to record the Endurance in detail. Antarctica’s waters are protected by an international agreement, which means the ship can’t be disturbed. So the Endurance 22 team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck(失事) site. This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.
14．Why did the Endurance 22 team know the ship5s possible position
A．They had first-class robots. B．The captain kept a good record.
C．Polar explorers recalled the details. D．The icy waters of the ship have changed.
15．What is the Endurance found to be like
A．It is in excellent shape. B．It is trapped in hard ice.
C．It is in poor condition. D．It has gone beyond recognition.
16．What plays the most important role in finding the Endurance
A．Luck. B．Patience. C．Weather. D．Technology.
17．What is the best title for the text
A．“Endurance 22” Announced a Great Discovery
B．A Polar Explorers’ Ship Found After Over 100 Years
C．Untold Finding of Antarctic Explorer Ernest Shackleton
D．New Results of the Sabertooth Robots’ Underwater Search
A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.
“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”
“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”
She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.
That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.
“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”
But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.
18．How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman
A．They caused her to start KKGS.
B．They pushed her to go to college.
C．They encouraged her to house the homeless.
D．They made her continue to give out sandwiches.
19．How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation
A．Some refused it politely. B．They strongly supported it.
C．Some felt quite surprised by it. D．They considered it unreasonable.
20．In what way is KKGS special
A．It has earned a lot of money from students. B．It employs college students as volunteers.
C．It provides socks for those in need. D．It was set up by the government.
21．What advice does the author offer to people
A．Take action in small ways. B．Start your own organization.
C．Make donations from an early age. D．Find creative ways to help people.
Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.
Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.
For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.
Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.
The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.
D．Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.
Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make a difference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”
22．Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments
A．She hoped to create a better viola.
B．She was not satisfied with her career.
C．She expected to be a skilled woodworker.
D．She wanted to teach her students about music.
23．What do we know about Hutchins
A．She headed the Hutchins Consort.
B．She is very good at playing the octet.
C．She learned a simple method to make instruments.
D．She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.
24．Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.
A．is easier to make B．has the same size
C．produces richer sounds D．is less enjoyed by musicians
25．What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins
A．Respectful. B．Concerned.
C．Doubtful. D．Worried.
Just a few days after Valentine’s Day, Tinder and the French NGO A voté made their cooperation official, “to match Generation Z with voting”. The partnership kicked off on Thursday and will run through April 8 – two days before the first round of France’s presidential elections – and has one goal: to get more French youths to cast their votes. The slogan is catchy too: “If you can date down your street … You can vote down your street.”
In practice this means that, from now on, French Tinder users will see election ads pop up as they swipe the app to look out for potential love interests.
A recent survey showed that 59 percent of French 18- to 30-year-olds who are already registered to vote plan to abstain(弃权) in the first round of the elections. Seeing that 50 percent of Tinder’s users belong to this very age group, “this partnership represents a great opportunity to raise awareness as much as possible,” co-president of A voté Flore Blondel-Goupil said.
One of the main reasons for France’s high youth abstention rates, however, is not a lack of interest but rather outdated or incorrect paperwork. A registration is invalid when a voter's polling station does not correspondent with their actual place of residence. This is a particularly common problem for young people, who often leave their parents’ homes to pursue studies elsewhere.
Studies show that having an incorrect voting registration address triples the risk of abstention. In 2017, 7.6 million French people were incorrectly registered, with 25- to 29-year-olds accounting for 51 percent of them. Adding to that, between 3 and 4 million French people were not registered to vote at all.
This is not the first time Tinder has helped countries fight voter abstention: It did so in Brazil in 2018, the United Kingdom in 2019, the United States in 2020 and Germany in 2021.
26．Why did Tinder cooperate with the French NGO A voté
A．To make their cooperation official. B．To attract more young people to vote.
C．To make it more popular. D．To help people date down the street.
27．What is Flore Blondel-Goupil’s attitude to the partnership
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Favorable. D．Intolerant.
28．What does the underlined word “triple” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Increase. B．Reduce. C．Replace. D．Challenge.
29．What can we infer from the text
A．Tinder is a popular APP for voting.
B．Young people’s polling station is not necessarily where they live.
C．In 2017, 51 percent of French people were not registered to vote at all.
D．A lack of interest resulted in the France’s high youth abstention rates.
PORTLAND, Maine — The number of whales entangled (缠住) in fishing gears (装备) has declined recently, but the entanglements remain a critical threat to rare species, the federal government said in a report released Tuesday.
There were 60 confirmed cases of large whales entangled in gear in the U.S. in 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday. That was a 25% decline from the previous year and a lower figure than the 13-year average.
Every coastal region except Alaska saw a decrease in whale entanglements, NOAA said. It will take more research to determine the cause of the decline in entanglements, and it’s possible that the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of both fishing activities and data reporting could have played a role. It’s also possible that factors unrelated to the pandemic could have played a role, as some regions have reported large-scale environmental changes, like marine heat waves, which may also be affecting large whale entanglement rates and reporting.
More than half the entangled whales were humpback whales, which are popular with whale watchers and have a relatively stable worldwide population. However, four of the whales were North Atlantic right whales, which have a population decline due to recent years of high death rate and poor reproduction. The right whales give birth off Florida and Georgia and migrate north to the waters off New England and Canada to feed. Scientists and conservationists have sounded alarms in recent years that warming waters seem to be causing the whales to swim away from protected areas of ocean in search of food.
“The current level of entanglements is more than whales can stand”, said Kristen, an agent of a conservation group. The group and others have pushed for tighter restrictions on commercial fishing to prevent the whales from entanglement. These reports show far too many endangered whales are caught in fishing gear, particularly because reported entanglements are just the tip of an iceberg,” Kristen said.
30．How many confirmed cases of large whales entangled in gear in the U. S. were there in 2019
A．48. B．64. C．80. D．96.
31．What caused the population decrease of the North Atlantic right whales
A．Many can’t survive or have young.
B．More than half of them were entangled.
C．COVID-19 pandemic affected their life.
D．Heat waves makes them lacking in food.
32．What is the passage mainly about
A．Why stricter laws should be banned.
B．Why less whales have been entangled.
C．What people have done to help whales.
D．How we can help to increase whale numbers.
33．What is Kristen’s attitude towards whale entanglement
A．Confused. B．Frightened.
C．Concerned. D．Tired.
A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Sunday, according to the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA). That is an increase of 7 percent compared with the last year’s Spring Festival. About 374, 000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.
The CNTA also reported growth from individual and high-end(高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities such as those in Guangxi — became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad during the Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.
“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys,” Li Xuejing, an agency’s marketing manager, said.
Miss Guo, a Chinese tourist, who was vacationing on an island in Philippines, said, “I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”
Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation(货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.
34．How many trips were made to foreign countries during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday
A．6,150,000. B．2,500,000. C．7,000,000. D．374,000.
35．What can we learn about some inland cities in Guangxi
A．They’re reported to have become important tourist attractions.
B．They’re famous for all kinds of plants and monkeys.
C．They have many hot springs.
D．They have become important source markets.
36．What will Miss Guo do on her vacation according to the text
A．Go shopping for gifts. B．Study foreign cultures.
C．Relax and enjoy herself. D．Chat with her relatives.
37．Where does the text probably come from
A．A guide book. B．A newspaper.

Scientists in Germany say they have used new technology to create see-through human organs (器官). They say the technology could lead to production of three-dimensional (3D) body parts for use in transplant (移植) operations.
The scientists are with Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. They said they developed a process that uses a substance to make see- through organs, such as the brain and kidneys. The German researchers use lasers (激光) to obtain a picture of the organ to be replaced. The laser light helps them see every single cell inside the blood vessels (血管中的细胞).
The researchers use this information to print out the structure of the whole organ. For this, they need special equipment. They use a 3D printer to produce the structure--one that has height, width and length.
The researchers then load the printer with stem cells, which can become any kind of cell in the body. The stem cells act as “ink” in the printer. They are put into the correct position, making the organ fully operational.
The leader of the study, Ali Erturk, described the new technology as a major development for 3D printing in the medical field.” Previously 3D-printed organs lacked detailed cellular structures because they were based on pictures from computer tomography or MRI machines,” he explained.
“We can see where every single cell is, and we can actually replicate it exactly the same,” Erturk said. “I believe we are much closer to a real human organ for the first time now,” he added. Erturk and his team plan to start by creating bioprinted organs. They hope to develop a human kidney within 5-6 years. The researchers will first test to see if animals can live with bioprinted organs and could start tests within five to ten years, he predicted.
1．Why do the scientists need to obtain an image of the organ to be replaced
A．To copy a new one. B．To cure some diseases.
C．To observe cells in it. D．To study its structure.
2．What is the function of stem cells in making human organs
A．Matching the special equipment. B．Connecting the organs to the body.
C．Improving the quality of man-made organs. D．Filling the structures to let the organs work.
3．What was Erturk’s attitude to the new technology of creating organs
A．He threw doubt on it. B．He sang high praise for it.
C．He didn’t think much of it. D．He expressed concern about it.

Six “sacrificial pits(祭祀坑)”, dating back 3,200 to 4,000 yeas, were newly discovered in Sanxingdui Ruins site in Guanghan. Over 500 artifacts, including gold masks, bronze wares, ivories, jades and textiles were unearthed from the site. Sanxingdui site is located in Sanxingdui Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, on the south bank of Qianjiang River (Yangtze River), a tributary of Tuojiang River in the north of Chengdu Plain. The site covers an area of about 12 square kilometers, and the core area is the ancient city of Sanxingdui, with an area of about 3.6 square kilometers. It is the largest and highest-grade central site found in Sichuan Basin during the Xia and Shang period.
Sanxingdui site, first found in 1929, is generally considered as one of the most important archaeological sites along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, the work of excavation on the site only began in 1986, when two pits — widely believed for sacrificial ceremonies — were accidentally discovered.
Investigation in the area around No.1 and 2 pits was relaunched in October 2019, and No.3 pit was found in December 2019, according to Lei Yu, a researcher of Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute who heads the ongoing excavation. Thirty four research universities and research institutes have cooperated in this project. He said the new discoveries will help to better understand many unexplained findings in 1986.
More excavation followed in March 2020, and five more pits were found last year. And detailed research began in October. Excavation capsules with hi-tech equipment were set up in the pits in order to prevent the site from further damage.
According to the National Cultural Heritage Administration, studies of Sanxingdui site will become a crucial project in an ongoing program Archaeology China, which tries to explain the origins of Chinese civilization and how diverse cultures communicate and come together.

It is common to see most livestreamers sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year-old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a livestreaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce to help her people live a better life.
Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300, 000 followers.
Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there -by being a livestreamer with the help of her cousin.

Over a hundred years after it sank near Antarctica, the ship of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton has been found using underwater robots.
In 1914, Ernest Shackleton and his 27 members left England in a wooden sailing ship called the Endurance. Shackleton hoped to become the first to cross Antarctica. But in 1915, the Endurance became trapped in the thick ice over the Weddell Sea. The ice broke the Endurance and later sank it. Then the ship’s captain kept accurate records of the ship’s position, and the ship’s photographer even took pictures of it as it went down. But the ship, deep in the icy waters near Antarctica, had never been found.
On Wednesday, a search team called “Endurance 22” announced it had located the ship. The Endurance was found 3 kilometers below the ocean’s surface, about 6 kilometers south of its last known position. According to the Endurance 22 team’s report, the name can be clearly read on the back of the ship, and its wheel looks ready to be turned.
Though the ship is made of wood, it has survived with little damage. Scientists say that the small organisms(微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in the cold waters around Antarctica.
The team ran the project from an ice-breaking ship. To locate the Endurance, the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths. The robots could travel by themselves under the ice and go where the ship could not. For the last two weeks, the Sabertooth robots have been searching the sea floor in a 390-square kilometer area.
The robots were looking for anything above the sea floor. Last Saturday, the ship was found. Once the ship was located, the Sabertooths used high-quality cameras to record the Endurance in detail. Antarctica’s waters are protected by an international agreement, which means the ship can’t be disturbed. So the Endurance 22 team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck(失事) site. This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.
14．Why did the Endurance 22 team know the ship5s possible position
A．They had first-class robots. B．The captain kept a good record.
C．Polar explorers recalled the details. D．The icy waters of the ship have changed.
15．What is the Endurance found to be like
A．It is in excellent shape. B．It is trapped in hard ice.
C．It is in poor condition. D．It has gone beyond recognition.
16．What plays the most important role in finding the Endurance
A．Luck. B．Patience. C．Weather. D．Technology.
17．What is the best title for the text
A．“Endurance 22” Announced a Great Discovery
B．A Polar Explorers’ Ship Found After Over 100 Years
C．Untold Finding of Antarctic Explorer Ernest Shackleton
D．New Results of the Sabertooth Robots’ Underwater Search
A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.
“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”
“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”
She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.
That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.
“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”
But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.

A．They caused her to start KKGS.
B．They pushed her to go to college.
C．They encouraged her to house the homeless.
D．They made her continue to give out sandwiches.
19．How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation
A．Some refused it politely. B．They strongly supported it.
C．Some felt quite surprised by it. D．They considered it unreasonable.
20．In what way is KKGS special
A．It has earned a lot of money from students. B．It employs college students as volunteers.
C．It provides socks for those in need. D．It was set up by the government.
21．What advice does the author offer to people
A．Take action in small ways. B．Start your own organization.
C．Make donations from an early age. D．Find creative ways to help people.
Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.
Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.
For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.
Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.
The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.
D．Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.
Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make a difference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”
22．Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments
A．She hoped to create a better viola.
B．She was not satisfied with her career.
C．She expected to be a skilled woodworker.
D．She wanted to teach her students about music.

A．She headed the Hutchins Consort.
B．She is very good at playing the octet.
C．She learned a simple method to make instruments.
D．She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.
24．Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.
A．is easier to make B．has the same size
C．produces richer sounds D．is less enjoyed by musicians
25．What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins
A．Respectful. B．Concerned.
C．Doubtful. D．Worried.
Just a few days after Valentine’s Day, Tinder and the French NGO A voté made their cooperation official, “to match Generation Z with voting”. The partnership kicked off on Thursday and will run through April 8 – two days before the first round of France’s presidential elections – and has one goal: to get more French youths to cast their votes. The slogan is catchy too: “If you can date down your street … You can vote down your street.”
In practice this means that, from now on, French Tinder users will see election ads pop up as they swipe the app to look out for potential love interests.
A recent survey showed that 59 percent of French 18- to 30-year-olds who are already registered to vote plan to abstain(弃权) in the first round of the elections. Seeing that 50 percent of Tinder’s users belong to this very age group, “this partnership represents a great opportunity to raise awareness as much as possible,” co-president of A voté Flore Blondel-Goupil said.
One of the main reasons for France’s high youth abstention rates, however, is not a lack of interest but rather outdated or incorrect paperwork. A registration is invalid when a voter's polling station does not correspondent with their actual place of residence. This is a particularly common problem for young people, who often leave their parents’ homes to pursue studies elsewhere.
Studies show that having an incorrect voting registration address triples the risk of abstention. In 2017, 7.6 million French people were incorrectly registered, with 25- to 29-year-olds accounting for 51 percent of them. Adding to that, between 3 and 4 million French people were not registered to vote at all.
This is not the first time Tinder has helped countries fight voter abstention: It did so in Brazil in 2018, the United Kingdom in 2019, the United States in 2020 and Germany in 2021.
26．Why did Tinder cooperate with the French NGO A voté
A．To make their cooperation official. B．To attract more young people to vote.
C．To make it more popular. D．To help people date down the street.
27．What is Flore Blondel-Goupil’s attitude to the partnership
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Favorable. D．Intolerant.
28．What does the underlined word “triple” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Increase. B．Reduce. C．Replace. D．Challenge.
29．What can we infer from the text
A．Tinder is a popular APP for voting.
B．Young people’s polling station is not necessarily where they live.

PORTLAND, Maine — The number of whales entangled (缠住) in fishing gears (装备) has declined recently, but the entanglements remain a critical threat to rare species, the federal government said in a report released Tuesday.
There were 60 confirmed cases of large whales entangled in gear in the U.S. in 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Tuesday. That was a 25% decline from the previous year and a lower figure than the 13-year average.
Every coastal region except Alaska saw a decrease in whale entanglements, NOAA said. It will take more research to determine the cause of the decline in entanglements, and it’s possible that the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of both fishing activities and data reporting could have played a role. It’s also possible that factors unrelated to the pandemic could have played a role, as some regions have reported large-scale environmental changes, like marine heat waves, which may also be affecting large whale entanglement rates and reporting.
More than half the entangled whales were humpback whales, which are popular with whale watchers and have a relatively stable worldwide population. However, four of the whales were North Atlantic right whales, which have a population decline due to recent years of high death rate and poor reproduction. The right whales give birth off Florida and Georgia and migrate north to the waters off New England and Canada to feed. Scientists and conservationists have sounded alarms in recent years that warming waters seem to be causing the whales to swim away from protected areas of ocean in search of food.
“The current level of entanglements is more than whales can stand”, said Kristen, an agent of a conservation group. The group and others have pushed for tighter restrictions on commercial fishing to prevent the whales from entanglement. These reports show far too many endangered whales are caught in fishing gear, particularly because reported entanglements are just the tip of an iceberg,” Kristen said.

A record of 6.15 million trips was made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Sunday, according to the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA). That is an increase of 7 percent compared with the last year’s Spring Festival. About 374, 000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.
The CNTA also reported growth from individual and high-end(高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities such as those in Guangxi — became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad during the Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.
“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys,” Li Xuejing, an agency’s marketing manager, said.
Miss Guo, a Chinese tourist, who was vacationing on an island in Philippines, said, “I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”
Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation(货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.
