At six o'clock sharp the curtain rises at Southside Cultural Center, in Reno. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, look to the stage. Dozens of actors break out into the first number of The Lion King.
But this is not your typical production. The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. "I see so much of myself in these kids," says Nasya. "I tell them their current circumstance doesn't have to be their destiny（命运） . If they are determined, they can do anything they want."
Determination is something Nasya knows all about. She was born prematurely and was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. Her very name means "miracle" in Hebrew. Nasya was small, but quickly proved that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two. By six she'd been spotted by an acting coach, who encouraged her parents to enroll her in drama classes. "There was something about being onstage," Nasya says. "It made my spirit come alive." She decided that she was going to be an actor.
However, her enthusiasm didn't sit well with some of her schoolmates. They teased（嘲笑） her, "You're a shrimp. You're not even pretty." Nasya came home in tears. Her mother hugged her and told her to ignore it. By high school, Nasya was winning awards in theater competitions. She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play.
The production was a hit. The kids took several curtain calls. Donations to the shelter rolled in. Nasya reminds the kids of something she knows with every part of her spirit to be true: "Believe in yourself. The world is your stage."
24. What was special about the play The Lion King
A. It was staged at the local shelter. B. It was starred by Nasya Mancini.
C. It was performed by homeless kids. D. It was funded by the mayor of Reno.
25. Which of the following best describes Nasya
A. Creative and modest. B. Talented and caring.
C. Determined and humorous. D. Confident and demanding.
26. Why did Nasya decide to put on the play
A. To collect public donations. B. To build the kids' confidence.
C. To win a local theater competition. D. To complete her community service.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Volunteers Make a Difference. B. Rising from Shelter to Stage.
C. The Lion King Is Roaring Back. D. Sharing Her Dream with Homeless Teens.
C
Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it
The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation（修缮） and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past.
Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about 40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren't very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact（影响） because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too.
Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition（拆毁）, in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered.
28. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones
A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity.
C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts.
29. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show
A. Historic renovation costs much money.
B. Local governments support small businesses.
C. Historic preservation brings economic benefits.
D. International tourism promises economic recovery.
30. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3
A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty.
C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts.
31. What is the author's attitude towards historic preservation
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective.
D
A wildlife photographer was waiting, hoping to get a shot of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron（鹭）. He'd waited several frustrating hours in the woods, but with no luck at all. Suddenly, to the photographer's delight, a heron settled on a branch right in front of him. The photographer raised his camera and took the shot. Feeling particularly pleased, the photographer looked at the image. To his astonishment, he saw that behind the heron, his photograph had also captured a very, very rare woodpecker flying past. He hadn't seen it, but without even trying, he'd photographed an even rarer bird than the one he was aiming for. This is an example of serendipity.
Cases of serendipity can be found in numerous fields, such as science. Back in the 1800s, a man called Wellswas at a demonstration（演示） of laughing gas. After being given the gas, the patient started laughing, as expected. But then he suddenly fell over and cut his le g rather badly. To everyone's surprise, the man reported that he couldn't feel any pain. Wells hadn't been looking for it, but he'd made a medical discovery—certain gases reduce and can even almost eradicate pain. Had Wells not been there that night, anaesthesia（麻醉） might have taken longer to be discovered.
Most of us can probably think of at least one example of serendipity in our own lives. Jane, a friend of mine,was trying to come up with an idea for an article but got completely stuck. Frustrated, she decided to go out to a local café. As she was sipping her coffee, she heard two people talking behind her. A man was telling a story that sounded so unbelievable that she knew it had to be true. She asked the people if she could interview them for the article. They agreed and her article turned out to be one of the top trending articles of the week.
32. The word "serendipity" in paragraph 1 means the fact of __________.
A. observing rare birds in person B. achieving important aims in time
C. finding valuable things by chance D. taking interesting photos by mistake
33. What surprised Wells at the demonstration
A. The gas's hidden damage. B. The gas's pain-killing effect.
C. The patient's scientific discovery. D. The patient's balance-losing moment.
34. Why did Jane go to the café
A. To take a break. B. To meet a friend. C. To write an article. D. To do an interview.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To explain a concept. B. To promote a culture.
C. To introduce a person. D. To recommend a method.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life! It's a lot of fun but it can also be challenging. 36 Life can let us down and can sometimes fail to deliver what we were hoping for. That's just the way it is . But sometimes the problems that trouble us are the ones that we create in our own minds so maybe it's time to stop blaming others, bad luck, or whatever, and look to ourselves. Here are a few simple tips to change the way we live for the better.
“My life's a mess. I just wish I could disappear”；“Why do these things always happen to me ”Thoughts like these help no one. Overdramatising（过分夸大）a situation only makes it worse. Try and put things into perspective a little, take a step back, sleep on it, or ask a friend for help. 37
So your teacher didn't give you the part in the school play that you really wanted. Well, that's a shame. 38 Maybe there were other students who were more suited to the role. Similarly, when your football team loses, they don't lose just to upset you. Things go wrong for a million and one different reasons. It's not all about you.
No one gets it right all of the time, and that includes you! So don't expect life to always work out the way you think it should. 39 If you're not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself.
40 And next time life doesn't go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. It's time to take control of your life.
A. So keep these tips in mind.
B. Things don't always go our way.
C. Things are never as bad as they seem.
D. Open your mind to other possibilities.
E. If others let you down, be kind to them.
F. There's nothing you can do to change the past.
G. But it doesn't mean your teacher doesn't like you.

At 3:42 a. m. everything began to shake. One of the most deadly 56 (earthquake) of the 20th century had begun.

There are 20,000 hectares of tea trees in Jiajiang county. 46,000 tons of tea were produced in 2021, among which 35,000 tons were green tea. They were mainly exported to North Africa and Central Asia, with sales of about $ 100 million. Farmers said they have special measures to ensure only the best tea is exported. They said, "We keep a close eye on the soil and we have strict rules for using farm chemicals. We won't use them unless we think there's going to be a lot of harm." Zou Chengjun, director of the Jiajiang Agriculture & Rural Affairs Bureau, said, "We have helped our tea farmers build their own tea-growing bases, and we have set some policies that can benefit them. We have also offered some financial aid, such as farmer-oriented loans."
