“Soon, you're going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren't for the pleasure they give, it wouldn't be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year bushes must be pruned（剪枝） in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available（可用的） in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing（施肥） have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold（双重的）; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw（缩回） my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I'll think about that tomorrow.
24. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose
A. Tomato plants grown alongside B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing
C. A lot of care and the right soil D. Cages placed around the roots
25. The writer planted the tomato because ________.
A. it cost only $1. 25 B. there was room for it in the garden
C. the soil was just right for it D. the roses' branches needed to be covered
26. This year the writer's roses were ________.
A. removed from the rose bed B. picked along with the tomatoes
C. largely hidden under the tomato plant D. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
27. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ________.
A. express her liking for the roses B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes D. express her care for the tomatoes
C
China has built in Kunming City, Yumnan Province, the Germplasm（种质） Bank of Wild Species, a comprehensive national database for the collection and preservation of wildlife germplasm resources. As of the end of 2020, the bank preserved 85, 046 copies of 10, 601 wild plant seeds for protecting wildlife germplasm resources. Preserving dried and frozen seeds, the bank provides technological support for the protection and research, makes use of China's wildlife germplasm resources, and plays a major part in international biodiversity conservation.
The importance of science and technology for biodiversity conservation is increasingly obvious. When remote sensor monitoring was not available, agricultural technicians had no choice but to go for field studies, which could barely meet the need for large-scale, fast and nondestructive （非破坏性的） monitoring of crop conditions and timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. Nowadays, remote sensor monitoring has been applied in agricultural production in China, allowing agricultural technicians to analyze the movements of insect pests and evaluate plant diseases and insect pests by monitoring remotely the vegetation growth, coverage, surface temperature, humidity and other indicators.
In the Internet era, information technology has made the processing of massive data possible and created wider and more convenient platforms for biodiversity conservation in China, including Chinese Virtual Herbarium, Plant Photo Bank of China, and National Animal Collection Resource Center. The emergence of databases and digital programs in recent years is driving China to turn around its seriously threatened biodiversity.
From the collection and storage of information to the management and analysis of resources, the constantly improving biodiversity information network has realized the exploration and use of massive biodiversity data, providing a solid foundation for China's biodiversity conservation and research. Biodiversity conservation and science and technology are inextricable. Only by making science and technology a strong support for biodiversity conservation can humankind guard the Earth and build a beautiful world of harmony among all beings on the planct.
28. What can we learn about the bank from paragraph 1
A. Its role. B. Its administration. C. Its crisis. D. Its staff.
29. What do researchers hardly need to do with the help of remote sensor monitoring
A. Evaluate plant diseases and insect pests.
B. Analyze the tracks of the pests of plants.
C. Go to fields to control the plant diseases.
D. Satisfy the need to monitor crop conditions.
30. What does the underlined word “inextricable” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Competitive. B. Linked C. Inadequate. D. Inessential.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Germplasm Bank of Wild Species Develops Fast
B. China Has Made Great Efforts to Process Massive Data
C. Technologies Promote Chinese Biodiversity Protection
D. Information Technology Contributes Much to Many Fields
D
As temperatures rise to record levels and wildfires happen around the world, the need to meet net zero targets has never been more urgent. At the same time, increasing climate resilience （适应力） across food systems will be needed to fight rising hunger, according to UN General Assembly President Abdulla Shahid.
Agrivoltaic farming （光伏农业）, which uses the shaded space under solar panels （太阳能电池板） to grow crops, could be a way out. In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. Another option is putting them on the roofs of greenhouses. This allows enough light and rainwater to reach the crops and provides access for farm machinery.
Certain crops appear to grow well when grown in such environments, according to many recent studies. Researchers in South Korea have been growing a kind of vegetable underneath solar panels. The panels are positioned 2～3 metres off the ground and sit at an angle of 30 degrees, providing shade and offering crops protection from the sun. The researchers, from Chonnam National University, discovered that the vegetable produced was a deeper shade of green, thus attracting many consumers.
Elsewhere, Agrivoltaic systems in East Africa are allowing farmers to make better use of land. An Agrivoltaic farming project in Kenya is using solar panels held several metres off the ground, with gaps in between them. The shade from the panels protects vegetables from heat stress and water loss. This has resulted in rural farmers being able to grow a greater range of higher-value crops. The project effectively harvests the power of the sun twice, the researchers say.
Overall, Agrivoltaic farming is one way of using the same area of land to produce more food while also rolling out more sources of renewable energy. According to Brite Solar CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, who is a highly skilled solar energy expert, it's a new way of farming-one that is fully electric, runs on renewable resources, and is capable of producing the food we need to feed the future.
32. What is the second paragraph intended to introduce about Agrivoltaic farming
A. How it is built. B. How it is accepted.
C. How it is spread. D. How it is developed.
33. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Crops. B. Plants. C. Roofs. D. Solar panels.
34. What is the advantage of Agrivoltaic farming over traditional farming
A. It is easily managed. B. It saves money on labor costs.
C. It can reduce wildfire risks. D. It uses land more efficiently.
35. What does the author refer to when evaluating Agrivoltaic farming
A. A common belief. B. An expert's opinion.
C. A conclusion of previous research. D. An organization's announcement.

What Your Dog Is Really Thinking
Reading a pup's body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, considers how to figure out the dogs' behaviour.
If your dog licks their mouth
They're stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dogs' response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen. 36 . If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog's stress levels. It could be as simple as giving them more physical space.
If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking
The noises are frightening. 37 . But a surprising number of people don't realize that shaking and trembling （and hiding or seeking out people） are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioural signs.
38
They're anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
39 . If you're unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then watch their reaction. If they choose to wander of, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include smelling the floor, looking away and breathing heavily. However, if they lean on you or scratch at you to get more hugs, continue! 40 .
A. They hate it
B. They like it
C. This is a common reaction
D. If you're at the vet and your dog's tail is down
E. If your dog looks guilty when you walk in the door and see a mess
F. Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin
G. The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat

It is of great importance for 56 （educator） to understand what makes each student tick. 57 （general） speaking, I usually look at their body language. I know 58 students are really interested in class, as they will lean forward and look at me at that moment. People have a 59 （tend） to lean towards whatever they are interested in. So if a student has his head 60 （lower） to look at his watch, it implies he is bored and just 61 （count） the minutes for the class to end.

Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand （差使） .
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce（不友好的） look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard. . . , ” said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls' hands. “Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile. “If you return without the payment, you won't get the fruit.”
The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers. Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed. Times were hard.
The girls handed her the food. “This is from the lady with the jobo tree,” said Sandy.
“She asked for the payment, too.” Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed （密封的） envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs. Brown can afford to pay for that food.”

One possible version:
Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they walked back. Tapping her chin, Sandy murmured, “If it's money, that's a great deal! If it's not, what could it be ” Jane, lost in thought, didn't reply at once. She placed her palms on envelope, reflected on the family and suddenly she claimed, “Paintings! It must be the girls' paintings!” After she explained to Sandy, they arrived at the old lady's. Awkwardly, Jane handed the lady the envelope with trembling hands.
The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers and smiled. On the papers were colorful drawings from the children. At this scene, Sandy and Jane looked at each other and smiled. Then, the girls gained their payment—a full basket of ripe jobos. For them, it turned out that their errand not only gained them their favorite fruit, but also a sweet taste of getting payment by their hard work. When they took a bite, the juice was as sweet as the feeling inside their heart.
