Miss England, Jessica Gagen, is not your ordinary beauty winner. She just added an impressive title, a rocket scientist, to her career.
The 27-year-old just graduated from the University of Liverpool with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and she has set her sights on becoming an astronaut（宇航员）.
But winning her title just a few months before completing her degree was no easy task for the energetic redhead from Kelmersdale. She is the first red-headed woman—and the first rocket scientist—to be crowned（加冕）Miss England.
Gagen was able to manage both her competition and her schoolwork but the stress of doing both left her with chest pains and sleeplessness. However, she didn’t give up, just as she had been treated badly and always been made fun of as a child for having red hair.
“It was a tough five-year journey to get to this point, and I faced challenges before I even began,” Gagen said. “I think it’s important that today’s youth know that sometimes things don’t go entirely to plan, and that’s perfectly okay.”
Before starting at the university, Gagen studied a foundation year in physics while working on weekends because she didn’t have all the courses she needed for the program. She began studying at the university in 2019 and when the pandemic（流行病）hit, all the course work went online. She did this while working full time at night.
During the course of her studies, Gagen saw that there were very few females in STEM and decided to make it her task to promote（提升）careers in STEM for women and girls on her social media.
In the first year, she won Miss Lancashire and placed second in the national contest but she really wanted to win to promote her task. “There’s a lot of work that goes into becoming Miss England, and I really wanted to win because I knew I could use the platform to get more girls into engineering,” she said.
24. What is special about Miss England mentioned in the text
A. She is also a scientist. B. She was once an astronaut.
C. She had a happy childhood. D. She has great pressure at present.
25. Why was Gagen laughed at when she was young
A. She had trouble with her study. B. She was in poor health.
C. The color of her hair was unusual. D. Her clothes were not beautiful.
26. What do we know about Gage n from paragraph 6
A. Her lifestyle in high school. B. Some of her college education.
C. Her attitude to her classmates. D. The support from her family.
27. What is Gagen’s purpose in winning Miss England
A. To continue her college education.
B. To realize her dream since childhood.
C. To get confidence to deal with difficulties.
D. To encourage more girls to learn STEM.

The big French pet care company AgroBiothers Laboratoire will no longer sell very small containers for raising fish.
The company has a 27 percent share of the French market for products used by people who raise animals at home. But it said it would no longer sell any fishbowls that hold less than 15 liters of water. They will only offer four-sided ones.
The company said it was animal abuse（虐待）to put fish in small bowls without added oxygen and filtration. Filtration is the process of removing small waste from the water with a device.
AgroBiothers chief Matthieu Lambeaux recently used the term “impulse”—meaning a sudden strong desire to do something—to describe why many adults buy goldfish. “People buy a goldfish for their kids on impulse, but if they knew what torture it is, they would not do it. Turning round and round in a small bowl drives fish crazy and kills them quickly,” Lambeaux added.
Goldfish can live up to 30 years and grow to about 25 cm in large aquariums（养鱼缸）or outdoor ponds. But in very small bowls they often die within weeks or months. Lambeaux said goldfish are social animals that need other fish, lots of space and clean water. He added that having an aquarium requires some special equipment and knowledge.
Germany and several other European countries have long banned（禁止）fishbowls, but France has no laws on the problem.
Lambeaux explained the company’s decision further by saying, “We cannot educate all our customers by explaining that keeping fish in a bowl is terrible. We consider that it is our responsibility to no longer give customers that choice.”
“There is demand for fishbowls,” he said, “but the reality is that what we offer children is the possibility of seeing goldfish die slowly.”
28. What makes the French company stop selling certain fishbowls
A. Their size. B. Their price.
C. Their weight. D. Their popularity.
29. What does the underlined word “torture” probably in paragraph 4 mean
A. Progress. B. Pleasure.
C. Difficulty. D. Suffering.
30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The age goldfish can reach. B. Costs of keeping goldfish.
C. Proper living conditions for goldfish. D. The advice on how to choose fishbowls.
31. What does the company prefer to do based on Lambeaux’s words
A. Raise the price of the fishbowls. B. Remove the chances of harming goldfish.
C. Keep goldfish outside in the wild. D. Educate parents to care for goldfish.
D
Google says an Al-powered system it created is helping improve traffic flow in major cities. The system, called Project Green Light, is now in use in 12 cities. The project aims to save energy and reduce air pollution, or emissions（排放量）, from cars.
Google first announced the program in 2021, when it was testing the system in four areas of Britain. Since then, the company has kept increasing Project Green Light. Among cities now taking part in the program are Bangalore, Budapest, Jakarta, Manchester, Haifa, Hamburg, Rio de Janeiro, and Seattle.
In an online announcement, Google’s Yossi Matias explained the latest progress. He noted that the system is being tested in areas with serious traffic problems. Generally, this is at major crossings with heavy traffic and complex traffic lights. These areas where vehicles start and stop are known as crossroads.
The company said research has shown that at such crossroads, car emissions can be 29 times higher than on open roads. In addition, Google’s own research found that vehicles that must stop and start account for about half of those emissions.
Project Green Light uses individual（个人的）driver data from Google Maps. This data is connected with AI methods to produce models of each crossroads where the system is in place, the company says. The data from Google Maps is also used to create another model on how different traffic lights interact（相互作用）.
The modeling process for crossroads considers several things. These include the structure of streets, traffic conditions, signal scheduling and how the vehicles interact with lights.
The models are used to reduce stop and start times and save more driving time, a process called optimization（最优化）. Google says one goal is to improve several crossroads at the same time to create “waves of green lights” for vehicles on the road.
32. What did Yossi Matias intend to tell us
A. When the system started. B. Where the system is used.
C. How advanced the system is. D. How heavy the city traffic is.
33. What’s the problem with the cars at the crossroads
A. They slow down the traffic. B. They cause more traffic accidents.
C. They often break traffic rules. D. They make much pollution.
34. What is the goal of Project Green Light
A. To make driving cars safer. B. To make the street cleaner.
C. To make the traffic smoother. D. To make people drive more.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Al Is Changing Looks of Cities
B. Al-Powered System Is Improving City Traffic
C. City’s Traffic Light System Needs Improvement
D. City Streets Are Getting More and More Crowded

Steve, 21, was leading a small team into an abandoned（废弃的）mine near Paradise Pines, California. With him were his 19-year-old brother Allen, and a fishing friend, 32-year-old Bobby Erler.
After a couple of hours of exploring, Steve suddenly felt the earth give way under him. The drainage shaft（排水井）! His fingers clawed helplessly at the wet soil as he fell. He was falling into darkness, his body struggling against the walls of the shaft.
20 feet away, Allen heard a loud cry. “I’m climbing down,” he told Bobby.
With his torch（手电筒）under his arm, Allen slid rapidly down the pipe. “I’m coming, Steve!” he yelled several times. No answer.
As Allen slid towards the bottom of the mine shaft, he saw Steve floating face down in the water. He slipped his arms round Steve and patted him on the back. Water came out of Steve’s mouth continuously.
“I’m going to die, right ” Steve said in a weak voice.
“No way,” Allen said. “Bobby’s going for help.”
At 3: 20 pm, Bobby stepped through the door of the local fire station, a mile and a half from the top of the canyon（峡谷）.“My friends. Trapped,” he said, out of breath. “Last Chance Mine. You have to hurry!”
One hundred miles away, Bob Trussell’s phone rang at 5 pm. Leader of the Lassen County Search and Rescue Team, Trussell, 44, had the only team in northern California trained to lead mine rescues. “I’ll pull together my team,” he said, “but it’ll take some time to get there.” An hour later, he was leading a line of six trucks towards Paradise Pines.
Suddenly, Steve fell unconscious（不省人事的）. Allen wondered how long they could hold on.
