“When I was young, I had so much energy and I loved building things.If I had an idea, I had to build it right now using what I could find around me,” says Danish artist Thomas Dambo.When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house.As a teenager, he built a “crazy” castle in his backyard.
Years later, 42-year-old Dambo is proudly showing his latest work: a giant (巨人) called Little Lui.Five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six giants placed in the corners of Peel Region of Western Australia, which will be on show for at least a year.This work makes Dambo’s giants up to 99 around the world.His gentle giants have found homes in many different countries, as far as the United States, Belgium, China, Denmark, South Korea and now in Australia.
“For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,” Dambo says.This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works.Dambo’s giants are made almost from local recycled wood: their faces from second-hand furniture and their hair from tree branches and leaves.Taking about 750 hours to complete, each giant is built out in nature.
“I hope by visiting the giants, people will think of rubbish as a resource.I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature,” Dambo says.“That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people.I want people to be inspired and to realize they don’t need a lot to create something big and beautiful.”
24.Which of the following can best describe young Dambo
A.Creative. B.Homesick. C.Powerful. D.Frightened.
25.What can we know about Little Lui
A.It is kept underground. B.It’s Dambo’s first giant.
C.It will be shown to the public. D.It will be sent to Denmark.
26.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The comments on the giants. B.The appearance of the giants.
C.The basic theme of the giants. D.The expensive materials of the giants.
27.What does Dambo plan to do with his giants
A.Inspire more people to take adventures. B.Encourage the young to approach nature.
C.Help people spend less time playing games. D.Call on the young to save natural resources.

Though the FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022 the people of a particular city in China were busy making soccer history of their own.
Zibo in Shandong province is called “the home of soccer ball”, being the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju.Modern soccer sport started in England, but cuju won recognition from FIFA, as the earliest form of soccer in 2004.
“Side-flicking”, “chest down” and “shoulder stopper” are some of the key moves acquired by cuju players.Li Weipeng,34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承人) of cuju.He has been practicing these skills for 18 years.
Acquiring different cuju skills is not easy.“At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠) a ball.It was tiring,” Li said.He is now able to juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row.
Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job.The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi.Its moves have been adapted into dances and morning exercises.“Students show great interest in playing cuju, which encourages me to promote the ancient sport,” Li added.
Moreover, cuju has also become a platform for cultural exchanges.During the World Cup in Qatar, Li introduced cuju at a China-Qatar youth exchange activity held in Doha.He led Chinese and Qatari youth players, wearing traditional cuju costumes, to experience the ancient game.Many soccer fans watched them, cheered for them and gave them the thumbs-up.Many people were curious and wanted to communicate with the cuju players.
28.Where is the birthplace of cuju
A.Zibo. B.England. C.Doha. D.Qatar.
29.How old was Li Weipeng when he began to learn cuju
A.14 years old. B.16 years old. C.18 years old. D.34 years old.
30.How did Li Weipeng feel when he first practiced juggling a ball
A.Excited. B.Curious. C.Tired. D.Confident.
31.What encourages Li to promote cuju
A.His experience in cuju. B.The popularity of soccer.
C.The need of cultural exchanges. D.Students’ interest in cuju.

It was a quiet early afternoon in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a chat at the library desk.Suddenly, a regular reader, who had been reading a magazine, marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush (嘘)!” and went back to her seat.
Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh.How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader! Shouldn’t it be the other way around
Well, it seems hard to explain.If you’re a baby boomer (婴儿潮出生的人) like me, you probably remember libraries as places of adults’ silent reading.These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers, where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.
I am a loud librarian.My voice is naturally on the louder side.The hundreds of programs I led as a children’s librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of children and their caregivers.No shushing allowed!
Growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how public libraries connect with young readers.These types of programs like board games, poetry reading and story times certainly aren’t designed to be silent.
But it’s a balancing act.Not all readers—or librarians—like the idea of a noisy library.It’s clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a reader, we should have been using our “library voices” as we talked.Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence.There’s just too much fun and learning happening.I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service educator at the Brooklyn Public Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad.A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing!”
32.How did the author think of the shush from a reader
A.Unexpectedly funny. B.Really annoying.
C.Quite necessary. D.Very heartwarming.
33.What can be inferred about today’s libraries
A.They serve kids only. B.They become quieter.
C.They are less popular. D.They have different functions.
34.Why does the author quote Rachel Payne
A.To show different voices. B.To express the author’s idea.
C.To make the end interesting. D.To promote a new reading method.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.How to Act in the Library B.It’s OK for a Library to Be Noisy
C.Why to Keep Silent in the Library D.It’s Necessary for Librarians to Change

In the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars.While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks.Many have suggested hydrogen (氢).But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel.As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.
For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry.As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide.So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly.But such flights are limited to short distances.For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.
The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new.Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction.But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel.As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的).
The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level.The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals.About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.
Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities.“This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance.Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.”
36.Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1
A.Unique. B.Practical. C.Time-tested. D.Quick.
37.What problem does the aviation industry face
A.It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.
B.The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive.
C.Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.
D.Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.
38.What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making
A.It is green and cost-saving.
B.It is complex and time-consuming.
C.It runs tests in natural environment.
D.It starts with immediate chemical reaction.
39.What’s the purpose of the author
A.To attract people to explore the space.
B.To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.
C.To warn us the dangers of climate change.
D.To encourage us to work in the aviation industry.

Being a teenager is difficult, as many people expect you to be perfect in many different things — school, sports, chores, etc. 40 What really matters is trying to be better, and having the confidence to pursue your dreams.The following are some tips for you to deal with the imperfection of life.
Make a series of goals to help reach your dreams. 41 You will not become the most popular kid at school, the best soccer player, or an award-winning filmmaker overnight, but you can start taking steps now to make these goals a reality.
42 Volunteering, tutoring a friend, and helping your parents around the house aren’t just nice things to do, and they can improve your own well-being.Doing good makes you feel good and it builds a loving, supportive network of people around you.
Give yourself some “me time” each day.Each day, take 15 minutes or more to yourself. 43 Distance yourself from other people, if only for a few moments, and relax.Let your brain free from all the stresses that hit you each day.This is one of the easiest, best ways to find yourself and your goals.
Remember that life isn’t perfect and that is a good thing. 44 But these issues are all chances to improve yourself, and how you react to the bad times is far more important than the bad times themselves.
A.Have an active social life.
B.Make time to help others.
C.Perfection only comes one small step at a time.
D.Exercise! It helps with stress, and may even make you happier than usual.
E.However, true perfection is impossible.
F.There will always be mistakes, setbacks, misunderstandings, and bad luck.
G.You could read, listen to music, go for a walk, or simply lay in bed.
