Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students.
“Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance.
This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography.
It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them.
Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.”
Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said.
24. What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary
A. Lack of fresh air. B. Absence of windows.
C. Insufficient lighting. D. Limited access to technology.
25. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms
A. To connect the students with nature.
B. To promote his photography skills.
C. To improve the teachers’ performance.
D. To create an exciting environment for the students.
26. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling
A. They did not notice the change.
B. They failed to concentrate on lessons.
C. They preferred the original gray ceiling.
D. They were in favour of the new additions.
27. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom
A Cautious and objective. B. Appreciative and supportive.
C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Curious but unsure.
C
Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”.
African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. They do this by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant species. It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year’s worth of emissions (排放量) from 2,047 cars.
“As strange as it seems, all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of the air,” says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes! . Elephants eat more than 400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that have the ability to absorb and store more CO2.
In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor.
But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their ecological contributions that we all rely on.
28. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change
A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species.
B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest.
C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere.
D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest.
29. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean
A Consume. B. Preserve. C. Spread. D. Gather.
30. What are the threats facing African forest elephants
A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss.
B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem.
C. Natural disasters resulting from climate change.
D. Competition for water sources with other animals.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Preserving Forests: Elephants’ Contribution
B. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes
C. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants
D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction
D
Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set.
In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size.
The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction.
Dr. Onur elik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.
One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective.
32. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space
A. To improve communication between Earth and space.
B. To bring the effects of climate change under control.
C. To produce electricity for agricultural use.
D. To increase the production of solar power.
33. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms
A The increased demand for electricity. B. The decrease in the cost of solar panels.
C. The development of space technology. D. The requirement to preserve the environment.
34. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms
A. They’ll replace fossil fuels completely.
B. They’ll become the main source of energy.
C. They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient.
D. They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A news report. B. A maths website.
C. A marketing brochure. D. A policy brief.

Training for a marathon is one of the most physically demanding activities you can willingly put yourself through. And when the race day finally comes after months of training and hours spent running on the playground you want to finish the race well. But sometimes, that just doesn’t happen.
A warm moment happened among three runners, and with the help of two other runners, there was a runner who reached the finish line and finished the race. It’s reported that the three runners didn’t know each other before the race.
That moment happened at the 203 London Marathon. A runner named Louis experienced this as he worked his way towards the end of the race. The man began to double over (弯腰) and was on the edge of collapsing (昏倒) as other runners passed by.
Clearly, he was too tired to finish the race. But it was only 200 meters left. And he might fall to the ground at any time. So tired, Louis fell to the ground and looked white and upset. At that moment, a runner saw Louis who needed help, so the runner ran to him and picked him up.
“Are you OK ” the runner asked Louis.
“I am too tired to keep running,” Louis replied.
“Come on! Let me support you to the finish line 200 meters away,” the runner said and grabbed his arm.
“It is very kind of you,” Louis said happily.
With the help of the runner, there were only 150 meters away from the finish line. But it seemed that he couldn’t hold Louis steady enough, Louis was in a bad condition and would fall to the ground at any time. The runner was very anxious and watched helplessly as other runners ran to the finish line, not knowing what to do.
Although the runner tried his best to support Louis steady, Louis fell to the ground again.

An Inspiring Act of Kindness
Last Friday, on my way home from school, I came across a little boy in tears. He had lost his way after school. Without a second thought, I decided to help him. We found a nearby store where the kind shopkeeper let us use the phone to call his parents. It wasn’t long before they arrived, feeling relieved and grateful.
This experience taught me that even the simplest act of kindness can have a profound impact. I felt a deep sense of joy and accomplishment, knowing that I had made a difference in someone’s life.

67. Just at that moment, another runner came from behind Louis. Shortly after, the runner appeared on Louis’ other side, grabbed his arm and held Louis steady enough to keep going. “Let me help you,” the runner said to Louis. Louis’ eyes were filled with tears. Then they three ran together and encouraged each other. With these two runners’ help, there were only 50 meters away from the finish line. All the runners cheered on them, “Come on! You can do it!” They kept running to the finish line and sweat streamed down their faces.
With the help of the two runners, Louis finally reached the finish line. The two runners quickly took good care of Louis. Louis hugged them and showed great thanks to them. The two runners who selflessly helped Louis became famous on the Internet. The three runners became good friends and decided to meet at next year’s London Marathon. Together, the three runners made their way to the finish line. The warm moment became a part of what made the experience so special. Though the three guys didn’t finish first, they won that day.
