Fascinating Facts about London’s Parks
Did you know that 47 percent of London consists of green space Takeaway the private gardens and that leaves 37% of the capital’s green land given over to Royal Parks, gardens, and public green spaces. It’s the third greenest capital city in the world. Now let’s take a look at the most fascinating facts about London’s parks.
Handing out flowers in Green Park
Nobody is totally sure how Green Park got its name. There are a few different theories. One tale says that the name originates from the time of Charles Ⅱ. The King was walking through the park with his wife and courtiers when he picked a flower. Instead of handing it to Queen Catherine, he handed it to another woman that was said to be his mistress. Extremely angry, the Queen ordered that all the flowers in the park be dug out, leaving only grass.
Counting trees in the Royal Parks
When counted together, the Royal Parks contain over 170,000 trees, with the oldest being the 400-year-old chestnut trees in Greenwich Park. These are young trees, though, compared to London’s oldest tree—a great elm in High Barnet that is said to be over 2000 years old. London has more than 8 million trees: nearly as many as people there.
Underground secrets in Greenwich
Greenwich Park shows more fascinating features. Deep under the surface are buried a series of secret tunnels that are tall enough for a person to walk. It’s been claimed that the tunnels were built as secret escape routes for King Henry Ⅷ. Their real purpose is a little less exciting, and the tunnels were actually built as waterways to allow groundwater from the hillsides to escape.
Walking is the best way to explore London’s beautiful green spaces. We hope you enjoyed these fun facts.
1. How much do private gardens cover in London green space
A. 47 percent. B. 33 percent. C. 37 percent. D. 10 percent.
2. How did Green Park get its name according to the text
A. The King Charles Ⅱ gave the park its name.
B. There were so many green trees in it.
C. Its flowers were removed and only grass was left.
D. The grass in the park was well protected by the Queen.
3. What will you see if you go to Greenwich Park
A. The hillsides with waterways. B. Tunnels under its surface.
C. The statue of King Henry Ⅷ. D. The oldest tree of London.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几个关于伦敦公园最有趣的事实。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Did you know that 47 percent of London consists of green space Takeaway the private gardens and that leaves 37% of the capital’s green land given over to Royal Parks, gardens, and public green spaces.(你知道伦敦 47% 的面积都是绿地吗？除去私人花园，伦敦 37% 的绿地被用作皇家公园、花园和公共绿地。伦敦是世界上绿化程度第三高的首都城市)”可计算出私人花园占伦敦绿地面积为47% - 37% =10%，故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Handing out flowers in Green Park部分中的“Nobody is totally sure how Green Park got its name. There are a few different theories. One tale says that the name originates from the time of Charles Ⅱ. The King was walking through the park with his wife and courtiers when he picked a flower. Instead of handing it to Queen Catherine, he handed it to another woman that was said to be his mistress. Extremely angry, the Queen ordered that all the flowers in the park be dug out, leaving only grass.(没有人完全确定格林公园的名字是怎么来的。有几种不同的理论。一种说法是，这个名字起源于查理二世时期。国王与妻子和朝臣们在公园里散步时摘了一朵花。他没有把花交给凯瑟琳王后，而是交给了另一个女人，据说她是他的情妇。王后非常生气，下令把公园里的所有花都挖掉，只留下草)”可知，格林公园的花都被摘掉了，只剩下草，由此得来格林公园这个名字，故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Underground secrets in Greenwich部分中的“Greenwich Park shows more fascinating features. Deep under the surface are buried a series of secret tunnels that are tall enough for a person to walk.(格林威治公园展现了更多迷人的风景。地表深处埋藏着一系列秘密隧道，这些隧道高至足以让人行走。)”可知，如果你去格林威治公园，你会看到地表下的隧道。故选B。
B
Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calmness to people in these difficult times. “To hear the pure joy from kids is extremely comforting,” she says.
Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students at West Side on a project they called “PepToc”. Actually, they called it “Pep Talk” first. But when Ms. Martin’s 6-year-old son drew an advertisement for the hotline and spelled it “PepToc”, they decided they liked that even better.
The project had two parts — one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters.
The hotline is available in English and Spanish. It offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive messages. For example, by pressing 3, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together, “You can do it! Keep trying and don’t give up!” Pressing 4 triggers the sounds of children giggling and laughing — a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, frustrated, or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include: “punch your pillow”, or “go get a cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. This includes messages like: “The world is a better place with you in it.” And “You are okay!”
Other students took part in making encouraging posters, which were hung up around the town. Many posters had strips of paper that people passing by could tear off and take with them. For example, one poster said “If you are mad, think of positive thoughts”, and had tear-off strips reminding people to “Be happy”.
4 What do we know about the PepToc project
A. The project has not started yet. B. It got its present name by accident.
C. Its hotline only provides English service. D. Jessica Martin will answer the hotline calls.
5. You can press ______ to hear kids’ laughter when calling the hotline.
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
6. What can passers-by do with the posters
A. They can add their comments to the posters. B. They can take away the poster’s strips.
C. They can take photos for posters for free. D. They can redesign the posters.
7. Who is the hotline possibly targeted at
A. Newborn babies. B. Relaxed vacationer.
C. Experienced advice providers. D. Mentally stressed adults.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了加州一所小学的学生在艺术老师的帮助下创建热线，为人们提供来自孩子的乐观建议，帮助缓解困难时期的情绪。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But when Ms. Martin’s 6-year-old son drew an advertisement for the hotline and spelled it “PepToc”, they decided they liked that even better.(但当马丁女士6岁的儿子为热线画了一则广告并拼写为“PepToc”时，他们觉得这个名称更好)”可知，PepToc项目现在的名字是偶然得到的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Pressing 4 triggers the sounds of children giggling and laughing— a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.(按下数字4会引发孩子们咯咯笑和大笑的声音——这种声音肯定能让任何人的脸上绽放笑容)”可知，拨打热线时，按4可以听到孩子们的笑声。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many posters had strips of paper that people passing by could tear off and take with them.(许多海报上都有纸条，路过的人可以撕下来带走)”可知，路人可以拿走海报的纸条。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times.(加利福尼亚州一所小学学生在艺术老师的帮助下创建了一条电话热线，人们可以在困难时期拨打该热线，从孩子们那里获得愉快的建议)”及第二段中“Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calmness to people in these difficult times.(杰西卡·马丁在加州希尔兹堡的西区学校教授艺术，她认为她的学生们可能拥有在这个艰难时期带给人们平静所需的神奇话语)”及第五段中“It offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive messages.(它提供了不同年龄的孩子们分享积极信息的快乐声音)”可知，这条热线电话针对的是精神压力大的成年人，为他们提供安慰和建议。故选D。

Lifting a spear (矛), Li Jinqi pulled it across her shoulders and spun it quickly. Following her example, 10 peers in two rows wearing the same kungfu-style clothing produced the same movements.
Li is a 24-year-old PhD student at Beihang University in Beijing, but she is more widely known on campus as a martial arts master. She has studied various martial arts styles and won several cross-campus martial arts competitions held in the capital city. She also led the university’s martial arts club, which has grown from a team of 2 to over 30 active members.
“Martial arts has seen a great uptick on campus, and I heard that my middle school and high school have both opened martial arts courses,” says Li. “I don’t think martial arts is about fighting,” she adds, “Martial arts is about finding the best version of yourself.”
Gao Xiaoya, a junior student at Beihang, also joined the martial arts club. Gao is among an increasing number of young people who were first drawn to martial arts as a way to keep fit, but who found their enthusiasm grew when they realized the advantages from the traditional values and culture the sport embodies. “You start to enjoy it more and realize that martial arts have taught you how to face challenges and be confident,” says the 21-year-old.
On China’s video-sharing platform Bilibili, short videos on topics of traditional Chinese culture, such as martial arts, hanfu and Peking Opera often receive lots of likes and comments.
“The fast development of the internet and social media has also promoted communication about traditional Chinese culture, enabling young people to have easier access to previously niche art forms,” says Song Yu, a researcher at the Institute of Sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences . As younger generation pay more attention to traditional culture, relevant industries and services are expected to thrive as well, says Song.
8. What do we know about Li Jingqi
A. She is familiar with all the martial arts styles.
B. She sets up a university’s martial arts club.
C. She is a martial arts coach at Beihang University.
D. She is famous for winning some martial arts competitions.
9. What does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Choice. B. Problem. C. Rise. D. Fall.
10. Why is Gao Xiaoya mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To explain why people’s enthusiasm for martial arts increased.
B. To tell when people would like to join the martial arts club.
C. To display what people practiced in their daily lives.
D. To show how people faced challenges.
11. What’s Song Yu’s attitude towards the future of traditional culture industries
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Worried.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了北航大学的一位武术高手李锦琪，在中国的视频分享平台Bilibili上分享关于传统文化的短视频，如武术、汉服、京剧和书法等，经常会收到大量的点赞和评论。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Li is a 24-year-old PhD student at Beihang University in Beijing, but she is more widely known on campus as a martial arts master. She has studied various martial arts styles and won several cross-campus martial arts competitions held in the capital city. (李现年 24 岁，是北京航空航天大学的一名博士生，但她在校园里更广为人知的身份是武术大师。她学习过多种武术，并在首都举办的几场跨校区武术比赛中获胜。)”可知，李锦琪因赢得一些武术比赛而广为人知。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“I heard that my middle school and high school have both opened martial arts courses(我听说我的中学和高中都开设了武术课)”可知，李的中学和高中都开设了武术课，这说明武术在校园里发展起来了，即武术课程在校园里增加了不少，由此可推知，划线单词uptick意为“上升，增加”，与C项“Rise.(上升，增加)”意思一样，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据三段中“Martial arts has seen a great uptick on campus, and I heard that my middle school and high school have both opened martial arts courses(武术在校园里大行其道，听说我的中学和高中都开设了武术课)”和第四段“Gao Xiaoya, a junior student at Beihang, also joined the martial arts club. Gao is among an increasing number of young people who were first drawn to martial arts as a way to keep fit, but who found their enthusiasm grew when they realized the advantages from the traditional values and culture the sport embodies. “You start to enjoy it more and realize that martial arts have taught you how to face challenges and be confident,” says the 21-year-old.(北航大三学生高晓雅也加入了武术俱乐部。高晓雅是越来越多年轻人中的一员，他们最初被武术吸引是为了强身健体，但当他们意识到这项运动所体现的传统价值观和文化的优势时，他们的热情就高涨起来。这位 21 岁的女孩说：“你开始更加享受它，并意识到武术教会了你如何面对挑战并充满自信。”)”可知，第三段提到武术在校园里盛行，第四段用Gao Xiaoya的例子对此进行了解释，指出人们喜欢武术的原因，由此可推知，第四段提到Gao Xiaoya是为了解释为何人们对武术的热情日益高涨。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As younger generation pay more attention to traditional culture, relevant industries and services are expected to thrive as well, says Song.(宋宇表示，随着年轻一代更加关注传统文化，相关产业和服务也有望蓬勃发展。)”可推知，对于传统文化产业的未来，宋宇是持积极态度的，故选B。
D
Extreme land use combined with warming temperatures is pushing insect ecosystems toward collapse in some parts of the world, scientists reported Wednesday.
The study, published in the journal Nature, identified for the first time a clear and alarming link between the climate crisis and high-intensity agriculture and showed that, in places where those impacts are particularly high, insect abundance has already dropped by nearly 50%, while the number of species has been reduced by 27%.
These findings cause huge concerns, according to Charlotte Outhwaite, the lead author on the study and researcher at the University College London, given the important role of insects in local ecosystems, pollination (授粉) and food production, and note that losing insects could threaten human health and food security.
“Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators,” Dave Goulson, a professor of biology at the University of Sussex in the UK, previously told CNN. “Without insects, crops will begin to fail. We won’t have things like strawberries. We can’t feed 8 billion people.”
Scientists say, extreme land use has a link with the climate crisis. Clearing natural habitats for agriculture can dramatically change the area’s local climate and cause temperature extremes. Researchers found evident declines in insect populations in warmer areas, particularly in the tropics. They concluded that in areas with less agriculture, less climate warming, and a nearby natural habitat, insects only declined by 7%, compared to the 63% decrease in areas with less natural habitat cover.
Outhwaite told CNN there are things we can do to help prevent this crisis, like planting more native species and wildflowers, and reducing chemicals used in gardens. “It’s also probably a good idea to think about where the foods that we are buying are being sourced from,” Outwaite said. “So if they’re being sourced from tropical countries, there’s probably going to be a high impact on biodiversity there.”
12. Why does the author quote Dave Goulson’s words in the paragraph 4
A. To emphasize the importance of insects to human life.
B. To provide evidence for the decline in insect populations.
C. To suggest potential solutions to prevent the decline of insects.
D. To show the importance of preserving natural habitats for insects.
13. Which of the following may contribute to the largest decline in insect population
A. Making full use of land in colder areas. B. Preserving habitats cover in colder areas.
C. Planting more native species in warmer areas. D. Expanding agriculture production in tropics.
14. What does Outhwaite’s words mainly focus on in the last paragraph
A. The efforts that have been made to protect insects.
B. The suggestions on how to protect the diversity of insects.
C. The reasons why we should preserve the diversity of insects.
D. The advice on what kind of products to buy to avoid insect crisis.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Agriculture Harms Ecosystems B. Reasons for Endangered Insect Ecosystems
C. Insect Ecosystems Need Help D. Efforts Made to Save Insect Ecosystems
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了据科学家报告称，极端土地使用加上气温升高正在导致世界部分地区的昆虫生态系统崩溃，文章还就如何保护昆虫多样性提出了一些建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“These findings cause huge concerns, according to Charlotte Outhwaite, the lead author on the study and researcher at the University College London, given the important role of insects in local ecosystems, pollination (授粉) and food production, and note that losing insects could threaten human health and food security.(这项研究的主要作者、伦敦大学学院研究员 Charlotte Outhwaite 表示，鉴于昆虫在当地生态系统、授粉和粮食生产中的重要作用，这些发现引起了人们的极大担忧，并指出昆虫的消失可能威胁人类健康和粮食安全)”和第四段““Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators,” Dave Goulson, a professor of biology at the University of Sussex in the UK, previously told CNN. “Without insects, crops will begin to fail. We won’t have things like strawberries. We can’t feed 8 billion people.”(英国萨塞克斯大学生物学教授戴夫·古尔森此前告诉 CNN：“我们的四分之三的农作物依赖昆虫授粉。没有昆虫，农作物就会开始歉收。我们将不会有草莓之类的东西。我们无法养活80亿人。”)”可知，昆虫在当地生态系统、授粉和粮食生产中有重要作用，没有昆虫授粉，农作物就会歉收，人类无法生存，由此可推知，作者引用Dave Goulson的话是为了强调昆虫对人类生活的重要性。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The study, published in the journal Nature, identified for the first time a clear and alarming link between the climate crisis and high-intensity agriculture and showed that, in places where those impacts are particularly high, insect abundance has already dropped by nearly 50%, while the number of species has been reduced by 27%.(这项研究发表在《自然》杂志上，首次发现了气候危机与高强度农业之间的明确而令人担忧的联系，并表明在气候影响特别大的地方，昆虫数量已经下降了近 50%，而物种数量减少了 27%。)”和倒数第二段中“Researchers found evident declines in insect populations in warmer areas, particularly in the tropics. They concluded that in areas with less agriculture, less climate warming, and a nearby natural habitat, insects only declined by 7%, compared to the 63% decrease in areas with less natural habitat cover.(研究人员发现，在气候较温暖的地区，尤其是热带地区，昆虫数量明显减少。他们得出的结论是，在农业较少、气候变暖较少且自然栖息地较近的地区，昆虫数量仅减少了 7%，而自然栖息地覆盖较少的地区则减少了 63%。)”可知，在气候较温暖的地区，尤其是热带地区，昆虫数量明显减少，且在农业较少、气候变暖较少且自然栖息地较近的地区，昆虫数量减少的较少，但在高强度的农业地区昆虫数量下降很多，由此可推知，扩大热带地区的农业生产可能是造成昆虫数量最大下降的原因，故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Outhwaite told CNN there are things we can do to help prevent this crisis, like planting more native species and wildflowers, and reducing chemicals used in gardens. “It’s also probably a good idea to think about where the foods that we are buying are being sourced from,” Outwaite said. “So if they’re being sourced from tropical countries, there’s probably going to be a high impact on biodiversity there.”(Outhwaite告诉 CNN，我们可以采取一些措施来防止这场危机，比如种植更多本土物种和野花，减少花园中使用的化学品。“考虑一下我们购买的食物的来源也可能是一个好主意，”Outwaite 说。“所以，如果它们来自热带国家，可能会对那里的生物多样性产生很大影响。”)”可知，最后一段中 Outhwaite的话主要是关于如何保护昆虫多样性的建议。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Extreme land use combined with warming temperatures is pushing insect ecosystems toward collapse in some parts of the world, scientists reported Wednesday.(科学家周三报告称，极端的土地使用加上气温升高正在导致世界部分地区的昆虫生态系统崩溃。)”可知，文章主要介绍了极端的土地使用加上气温升高正在导致世界部分地区的昆虫生态系统崩溃，这进而影响了农作物产量，由此文章还就如何保护昆虫多样性提出了一些建议，由此可知，C项“昆虫生态系统需要帮助”适合作文章标题，故选C。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was two days before Christmas and young Maggie was told again that Paxton would not be returning.
Maggie’s father had found the weak deer a year ago and they had taken care of him. Maggie’s father, a vet, tended to the deer’s injuries and bandaged his foot. Maggie noticed that he had markings above his eyes that resembled the sun with rays of light. She named him Paxton and promised to take care of him.
Maggie couldn’t sleep that night and kept checking on Paxton from her window. The next morning, she rushed to the house to see Paxton. Paxton was still timid around her, but with time, he started eating carrots from her hand. Every morning before school, Maggie would feed Paxton.
Maggie wanted to keep Paxton, but her father explained that he was a wild animal and needed to be released after his foot was healed. Mr. Dotson could see his daughter’s affection for the little deer. That scared him, because he knew Maggie would never be able to say goodbye. So when Paxton’s foot had been healed, Mr. Dotson came home early one afternoon to set Paxton free. Maggie was overcome with sadness and called out to Paxton every day, hoping he would hear her.
In time, though, Maggie did come to understand that wild animals, even little deer, need to be in their natural habitat. But that didn’t change how much Maggie cared for and missed Paxton.
One day, as it started snowing, Maggie stood by a pond behind their house, feeling upset. The pond hadn’t frozen that winter, as the weather was warmer than usual. Mr. Dotson felt guilty about having not been more supportive of his daughter’s belief that she would see Paxton again. Although he didn’t want to give her false hope, he realized that no longer mattered, since Maggie was hurting and he wanted to help.
As Mr. Dotson walked outside to greet his daughter, he carried a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) with him. He and Maggie would spend the next couple of hours in the woods, where they searched for deer tracks in the newly fallen snow. As Mr. Dotson had expected, their search came up empty.
“I’m sorry we didn’t have better luck, Maggie.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

As they hiked through the snow towards home, Maggie’s heart felt heavy.

“Daddy, look! It’s Paxton!” Maggie shouted, her voice filled with excitement.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As they hiked through the snow towards home, Maggie’s heart felt heavy. She couldn’t shake the disappointment of Paxton not returning to her. As Mr. Dotson and Maggie reached the edge of the woods, Maggie turned to take one last look at the place. At that moment, something caught her eye. A ray of sunlight reflected off the snow-covered ground, leading her eyesight deeper into the forest. There, standing among the trees, was Paxton, his sun-like markings standing out against the snow. Maggie’s heart skipped a beat as she watched him, a mix of joy and longing, filling her chest.
“Look! it’s Paxton!” Maggie shouted, her voice filled with excitement. “Look, Maggie, he seems happy and free in its natural habitat.” Maggie nodded. She knew Paxton was where he belonged, even if it meant they couldn’t be together. She realized her love for Paxton would always remain in her heart, no matter where he traveled. With a final wave to Paxton, Maggie turned to her father. As they walked towards home, Maggie carried with her a newfound wisdom. She understood that love isn’t always about possessing, but about cherishing and allowing others to follow their own paths. And she knew that the memories she shared with Paxton would forever be an invaluable part of her Christmas magic.

Fascinating Facts about London’s Parks
Did you know that 47 percent of London consists of green space Takeaway the private gardens and that leaves 37% of the capital’s green land given over to Royal Parks, gardens, and public green spaces. It’s the third greenest capital city in the world. Now let’s take a look at the most fascinating facts about London’s parks.
Handing out flowers in Green Park
Nobody is totally sure how Green Park got its name. There are a few different theories. One tale says that the name originates from the time of Charles Ⅱ. The King was walking through the park with his wife and courtiers when he picked a flower. Instead of handing it to Queen Catherine, he handed it to another woman that was said to be his mistress. Extremely angry, the Queen ordered that all the flowers in the park be dug out, leaving only grass.
Counting trees in the Royal Parks
When counted together, the Royal Parks contain over 170,000 trees, with the oldest being the 400-year-old chestnut trees in Greenwich Park. These are young trees, though, compared to London’s oldest tree—a great elm in High Barnet that is said to be over 2000 years old. London has more than 8 million trees: nearly as many as people there.
Underground secrets in Greenwich
Greenwich Park shows more fascinating features. Deep under the surface are buried a series of secret tunnels that are tall enough for a person to walk. It’s been claimed that the tunnels were built as secret escape routes for King Henry Ⅷ. Their real purpose is a little less exciting, and the tunnels were actually built as waterways to allow groundwater from the hillsides to escape.
Walking is the best way to explore London’s beautiful green spaces. We hope you enjoyed these fun facts.
1. How much do private gardens cover in London green space
A. 47 percent. B. 33 percent. C. 37 percent. D. 10 percent.
2. How did Green Park get its name according to the text
A. The King Charles Ⅱ gave the park its name.
B. There were so many green trees in it.
C. Its flowers were removed and only grass was left.
D. The grass in the park was well protected by the Queen.
3. What will you see if you go to Greenwich Park
A. The hillsides with waterways. B. Tunnels under its surface.
C. The statue of King Henry Ⅷ. D. The oldest tree of London.

Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words needed to bring calmness to people in these difficult times. “To hear the pure joy from kids is extremely comforting,” she says.
Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students at West Side on a project they called “PepToc”. Actually, they called it “Pep Talk” first. But when Ms. Martin’s 6-year-old son drew an advertisement for the hotline and spelled it “PepToc”, they decided they liked that even better.
The project had two parts — one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters.
The hotline is available in English and Spanish. It offers the happy voices of children of different ages sharing positive messages. For example, by pressing 3, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together, “You can do it! Keep trying and don’t give up!” Pressing 4 triggers the sounds of children giggling and laughing — a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face. Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, frustrated, or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include: “punch your pillow”, or “go get a cookie”.

Lifting a spear (矛), Li Jinqi pulled it across her shoulders and spun it quickly. Following her example, 10 peers in two rows wearing the same kungfu-style clothing produced the same movements.
Li is a 24-year-old PhD student at Beihang University in Beijing, but she is more widely known on campus as a martial arts master. She has studied various martial arts styles and won several cross-campus martial arts competitions held in the capital city. She also led the university’s martial arts club, which has grown from a team of 2 to over 30 active members.
“Martial arts has seen a great uptick on campus, and I heard that my middle school and high school have both opened martial arts courses,” says Li. “I don’t think martial arts is about fighting,” she adds, “Martial arts is about finding the best version of yourself.”
Gao Xiaoya, a junior student at Beihang, also joined the martial arts club. Gao is among an increasing number of young people who were first drawn to martial arts as a way to keep fit, but who found their enthusiasm grew when they realized the advantages from the traditional values and culture the sport embodies. “You start to enjoy it more and realize that martial arts have taught you how to face challenges and be confident,” says the 21-year-old.
On China’s video-sharing platform Bilibili, short videos on topics of traditional Chinese culture, such as martial arts, hanfu and Peking Opera often receive lots of likes and comments.
“The fast development of the internet and social media has also promoted communication about traditional Chinese culture, enabling young people to have easier access to previously niche art forms,” says Song Yu, a researcher at the Institute of Sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences . As younger generation pay more attention to traditional culture, relevant industries and services are expected to thrive as well, says Song.
8. What do we know about Li Jingqi
A. She is familiar with all the martial arts styles.
B. She sets up a university’s martial arts club.
C. She is a martial arts coach at Beihang University.
D. She is famous for winning some martial arts competitions.
9. What does the underlined word “uptick” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Choice. B. Problem. C. Rise. D. Fall.
10. Why is Gao Xiaoya mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To explain why people’s enthusiasm for martial arts increased.
B. To tell when people would like to join the martial arts club.
C. To display what people practiced in their daily lives.
D. To show how people faced challenges.
11. What’s Song Yu’s attitude towards the future of traditional culture industries
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Worried.
D
Extreme land use combined with warming temperatures is pushing insect ecosystems toward collapse in some parts of the world scientists reported Wednesday.
The study, published in the journal Nature, identified for the first time a clear and alarming link between the climate crisis and high-intensity agriculture and showed that, in places where those impacts are particularly high, insect abundance has already dropped by nearly 50%, while the number of species has been reduced by 27%.
These findings cause huge concerns, according to Charlotte Outhwaite, the lead author on the study and researcher at the University College London, given the important role of insects in local ecosystems, pollination (授粉) and food production, and note that losing insects could threaten human health and food security.
“Three quarters of our crops depend on insect pollinators,” Dave Goulson, a professor of biology at the University of Sussex in the UK, previously told CNN. “Without insects, crops will begin to fail. We won’t have things like strawberries. We can’t feed 8 billion people.”
Scientists say, extreme land use has a link with the climate crisis. Clearing natural habitats for agriculture can dramatically change the area’s local climate and cause temperature extremes. Researchers found evident declines in insect populations in warmer areas, particularly in the tropics. They concluded that in areas with less agriculture, less climate warming, and a nearby natural habitat, insects only declined by 7%, compared to the 63% decrease in areas with less natural habitat cover.
Outhwaite told CNN there are things we can do to help prevent this crisis, like planting more native species and wildflowers, and reducing chemicals used in gardens. “It’s also probably a good idea to think about where the foods that we are buying are being sourced from,” Outwaite said. “So if they’re being sourced from tropical countries, there’s probably going to be a high impact on biodiversity there.”
12. Why does the author quote Dave Goulson’s words in the paragraph 4
A. To emphasize the importance of insects to human life.
B. To provide evidence for the decline in insect populations.
C. To suggest potential solutions to prevent the decline of insects.
D. To show the importance of preserving natural habitats for insects.
13. Which of the following may contribute to the largest decline in insect population
A. Making full use of land in colder areas. B. Preserving habitats cover in colder areas.
C Planting more native species in warmer areas. D. Expanding agriculture production in tropics.
14. What does Outhwaite’s words mainly focus on in the last paragraph
A. The efforts that have been made to protect insects.
B. The suggestions on how to protect the diversity of insects.
C. The reasons why we should preserve the diversity of insects.
D. The advice on what kind of products to buy to avoid insect crisis.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Agriculture Harms Ecosystems B. Reasons for Endangered Insect Ecosystems
C. Insect Ecosystems Need Help D. Efforts Made to Save Insect Ecosystems

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was two days before Christmas and young Maggie was told again that Paxton would not be returning.
Maggie’s father had found the weak deer a year ago and they had taken care of him. Maggie’s father, a vet, tended to the deer’s injuries and bandaged his foot. Maggie noticed that he had markings above his eyes that resembled the sun with rays of light. She named him Paxton and promised to take care of him.
Maggie couldn’t sleep that night and kept checking on Paxton from her window. The next morning, she rushed to the house to see Paxton. Paxton was still timid around her, but with time, he started eating carrots from her hand. Every morning before school, Maggie would feed Paxton.
Maggie wanted to keep Paxton, but her father explained that he was a wild animal and needed to be released after his foot was healed. Mr. Dotson could see his daughter’s affection for the little deer. That scared him, because he knew Maggie would never be able to say goodbye. So when Paxton’s foot had been healed, Mr. Dotson came home early one afternoon to set Paxton free. Maggie was overcome with sadness and called out to Paxton every day, hoping he would hear her.
In time, though, Maggie did come to understand that wild animals, even little deer, need to be in their natural habitat. But that didn’t change how much Maggie cared for and missed Paxton.
One day, as it started snowing, Maggie stood by a pond behind their house, feeling upset. The pond hadn’t frozen that winter, as the weather was warmer than usual. Mr. Dotson felt guilty about having not been more supportive of his daughter’s belief that she would see Paxton again. Although he didn’t want to give her false hope, he realized that no longer mattered, since Maggie was hurting and he wanted to help.
As Mr. Dotson walked outside to greet his daughter, he carried a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) with him. He and Maggie would spend the next couple of hours in the woods, where they searched for deer tracks in the newly fallen snow. As Mr. Dotson had expected, their search came up empty.
“I’m sorry we didn’t have better luck, Maggie.”
