The Adélie penguin, who has been named Pingu, was discovered by a local resident Harry Singh “looking lost” on the shores of New Zealand, over 3,000 kilometers away from its natural habitat.
“At first I thought it was a soft toy,” Singh told the BBC. “But suddenly the penguin moved his head, so I realized it was real. It didn’t move for one hour... and looked exhausted.” He then called penguin rescuers as he was concerned that it was not getting into the water, making it a potential target for any predatory (捕食性的) animals wandering on the beach.
On arriving at the scene, Thomas Stracke, who has been rehabilitating (康复) penguins on New Zealand’s South Island for the last 10 years, was shocked to find that the penguin was an Adélie — a species that lives exclusively on the Antarctic peninsula. Stracke said, “It is quite unusual since they are known only living in the Antarctic area. Fortunately, apart from being a bit starving and severely dehydrated, he was actually not too bad, so we gave him some fluids and some fish smoothie.”
It is only the third recorded incident of an Adélie penguin being found on New Zealand’s coast — the previous were in 1962 and 1993 — and although sitings remain incredibly rare, if they become more common it could be a worrying sign, say experts.
“I think if we started getting annual arrivals of Adélie penguins, we’d go actually, something’s changed in the ocean that we need to understand,” Otago University zoology professor Philip Seddon told The Guardian. “More studies will give us more understanding where penguins go, what they do, what the population trends are like — they’re going to tell us something about the health of that ocean ecosystem in general.”
Pingu has now been released into a bay on the Banks Peninsula, and it is hoped he may be able to make the journey home.
24. What happened to Pingu
A. He was hunted by local people. B. He lost his food and looked upset.
C. He was finding a new natural habitat. D. He landed New Zealand by accident.
25. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. Introduce a new topic to discuss. B. List numbers to prove an opinion.
C. Add some background information. D. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
26. What can be inferred from Philip’s words
A. The number of penguins is on the decrease.
B. The health of ocean ecosystem should be concerned.
C. More studies about penguins have been undertaken.
D. Adélie penguins have built habitats in New Zealand.
27. What can be the best title of the text
A. Unexpected Arrival of Rare Penguin B. Dangerous Situation of Adélie Penguins
C. Amazing Discovery by Local Resident D. Magical Travel to New Zealand
C
Students at Huonville High School in Australia are riding bikes out of desire to fight climate change， carrying out a dizzyingly-thorough transformation of their school building into an energy efficient inspiration.
It’s paying off big time, as they’ve helped save $44, 000 in utility bills since they started their energy-saving project, but it’s also inspiring young people in the community. Recently the school won the Zayed Future Energy Prize of $133 ,000, some of which was used to turn a building into the Zayed Future Energy Hub, a clubhouse where 13 volunteers learn and teach about how renewable energy can be applied to our everyday lives.
Among all the efficiency adjustments, they set up solar panels on the roof, and replaced the old windows with double and triple glazed ones. They added improved insulation (隔热) and energy efficient curtains. They even have stationary bikes that create electricity to cook doughnuts.
The classroom was cold in the mornings, but the students wanted zero carbon emissions through their heating. So they went out and got a pellet stove, and then if that wasn’t enough, they went out and built a pellet mill (颗粒机) to make their fuel from waste sawdust.
Powering one small building on a high school campus or cooking doughnuts in renewable fat fryers is nice, but will do little on their own to slow global climate change. However, the Hub is much more about the big picture. Nel Smit, the volunteer teacher—head of the Hub, knows their biggest contribution is exciting the minds of the next generation.
“This little school in the Huon Valley is actually doing amazing things,” Smit said. “It’s raised awareness of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and opportunities in the community for engaging them around that sort of technology.”
28. What’s special about Huonville High School
A. It attaches importance to riding bikes. B. It promotes the idea of energy saving.
C. It encourages students to be creative. D. It is powered entirely by solar energy.
29. What can be learned about Zayed Future Energy Hub
A. It is a club center for volunteers. B. It is the place to produce energy.
C. It is built at the cost of $133,000. D. It is used to hold learning activities.
30. Why do students make fuel from waste sawdust
A. To save electricity bill. B. To keep low carbon emissions.
C. To get rid of waste sawdust. D. To test the pellet stove.
31. What is the greatest contribution of the project according to Smit
A. Saving a lot of energy. B. Creating more great minds.
C. Educating the next generation. D. Slowing global climate change.
D
Adults are often embarrassed about asking for help. Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason.
Kayla Good, a graduate student in developmental psychology at Stanford University, and Alex Shaw, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, applied a classic technique from developmental psychology to learn more about how children think about reputation. Across several studies, they asked 576 children, aged four to nine, to predict the behavior of two characters, Tom and Jack, in a story. Tom genuinely wanted to be smart, and Jack merely wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, they told children both characters did poorly on a test, and asked which of them would be more likely to raise their hands in front of their class to ask the teacher for help.
The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two characters as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought Jack would be less likely to ask for assistance. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in nature—they were specifically thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers. They could still imagine situations where Jack would seek help: when assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
Given the findings, it seems quite possible that when children themselves are the ones struggling, they, too, might avoid seeking out help if they are concerned about reputation. If so, this unwillingness to seek help when others are present could obviously impede academic progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks and ask questions. All of these efforts can be difficult when someone is concerned about their appearance to others.
32. What were the children asked to do about the two characters
A. To assess their intelligence. B. To predict their academic progress.
C. To discuss their possibility to get help. D. To judge their willingness to ask for help.
33. Who was likely to seek private aid according to the eight-year-olds
A. Tom. B. Jack. C. Both. D. Neither.
34. What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Prevent. B. Guarantee. C. Accelerate. D. Monitor.
35. What is the author’s suggestion for kids
A. Be ready to help others. B. Be brave to ask for assistance.
C. Care more about reputation. D. Make efforts to be smarter.

I bet that your daily routine is probably something like mine, which is divided among seeing movies, streaming shopping videos and playing video games. All of these activities involve staring at a screen. ____36____. So I turned to psychology experts for their advice. Here’s what we can do.
Come Up With a Plan. You should first assess which parts of screen time make you unhappy. That could be reading the news or scrolling through social media apps. ____37____. You could set modest goals, such as a time limit of 20 minutes a day for reading news on weekends. If that works, shorten the time limit and make it a daily goal.
____38____. We need to recharge our phones overnight, but that doesn’t mean the devices need to be next to us while we sleep. Many studies have shown that people who keep phones in their bedrooms sleep more poorly. So you’d better have a charging station outside the bedroom. And we can create many no-phone zones outside our bedrooms. ____39____.
Resist the Hooks (诱惑). Tech companies employed many techniques to make us addicted to their products. For example, the recommended video can be played automatically to keep users engaged. What to do We can tum off notifications (通知) for all apps except those that are necessary. ____40____. That said, we can remind ourselves that a lot of what we do online doesn’t matter, and it’s the time that can be better spent elsewhere.
A. Create no-phone zones.
B. Not all screen time is bad.
C. Avoid charging phones overnight.
