When Adriana Barbosa was a child and her family was struggling to pay rent, she would sell food that her grandmother cooked to raise money. They were some of the few Afro-Brazilians(非洲裔巴西人) in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and she quickly learned that,although more than half of Brazilians have African ancestry, many of the Brazilians profiting offBlack ideas do not.
This is significant considering how wide Brazil's racial wealth gap is, even as officials have downplayed the existence of racism(种族歧视) in their society. The average income for white workers was 74% higher than that of black and brown workers in 2019, according to a study by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics.
In her 20s, Barbosa, who was always excited by everything from Spike Lee’ s films to theBlack Panthers’ activism, created the Feira Preta Festival, both to help pay the bills and to celebrate Black culture. The first event showcased music, plays, and literature and drew more than5,000 visitors. It also provided a platform for Barbosa and other business people to sell their products.
Which isn't to say it hasn't had challenges. Funding has been an issue. A white neighborhood blocked the festival from taking place on its streets, she says. Some ticket income was stolen. ButBarbosa has been determined to keep it all going; the festival has drawn more than 200,000visitors over the years and has turned into one of the largest Black culture events in Latin America.
Later she grew the Feira Preta Festival into an initiative, the PretaHub platform. Over the last two decades, it has worked with more than 10,000 Black business people in many fields. “It began with a small action to pay rent,” says Barbosa. “Today it’ s a big social organization that has created a market for Black people.”
24. Which of the following statements is true
A. The racial wealth gap in Brazil is narrow.
B. Only a few Brazilians have African ancestry.
C. Adriana helped her family financially by selling food.
D. The average salary for white workers was low in 2019.
25. When organizing the Feira Preta Festival, Barbosa faced many challenges except .
A. The shortage of funding.
B. The theft of ticket income.
C. The opposition from white people.
D. The absence of the government's support.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Adriana Barbosa
A. Creative and strong-willed. B. Passionate and cautious.
C. Conservative and sensitive. D. Humorous and warm-hearted.

The scene is one many of us have somewhere in our family history: Dozens of people celebrating Thanksgiving or some other holidays around a makeshi ft stretch of family tables— siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts. “It was the most beautiful place you' ve ever seen in your life,” says one, remembering his first day in America.
This particular family is the one shown in Barry Levinson's 1990 film, Avalon, based on his own childhood in Baltimore. “In my childhood,” Levinson told me, “you’ d gather around the grandparents and they would tell the family stories . .. Now individuals sit around the TV,watching other families' stories.”
This is the story of our times— the story of the family, once a dense group of many siblings and extended relatives, fragmenting(分裂) into ever smaller and more fragile forms. The initial result of that fragmentation, the nuclear family, didn't seem so bad. But then, because the nuclear family is so brittle, the fragmentation continued. In many sectors of society, nuclear families fragmented into single-parent families, single-parent families into chaotic families or no families.
Although the far-reaching consequences are dramatic, we don't talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental. Too uncomfortable. Maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been breaking into pieces in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems— with education, mental health, addiction, the quality of the labor force— result from that fragmentation. We' ve left behind the nuclear-family model of 1955. For most people it's not coming back. Americans are hungering to live in extended families, in ways that are new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the lo ving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives.
It's time to find ways to bring back the big tables.
28. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs
A. The scene of warm old-day family gatherings.
B. The comparison between past and present life.
C. The description of modern family celebrations.
D. The experiences of Barry Levinson's adulthood.
29. What does the underlined word“brittle” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Strong and close. B. Stiff and complex.
C. Flexible and adaptable. D. Fragile and easily broken.
30. What do we know about the nuclear family
A. It gradually falls apart with time. B. It has been replaced by extended families.
C. It has grown more stable over time. D. It helps to broaden our family relationships.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The Nuclear Family is Ideal B. The Nuclear Family is a Mistake

A new NASA-led study has found that how rain falls in a given year is nearly as important to the world's vegetation (植物) as how much. Reporting on Dec. 11 in Nature, the researchers showed that even in years with similar rainfall totals, plants grew differently when that water came in fewer, bigger bursts.
Scientists have previously estimated that almost half of the world's vegetation is driven primarily by how much rain falls in a year. Less well understood is the role of day-to-day variability, said lead author Andrew Feldman, an ecosystem scientist at NASA's Goddard SpaceFlight Center.
The team analyzed two decades of field and satellite observations spanning diverse landscapes from Siberia to the southern tip of Patagonia. They found that plants across 42% ofEarth's vegetated land surface were sensitive to daily rainfall variability. Of those, a little over half grew better in years with fewer but more intense wet days. These include drier landscapes like grasslands, croplands and deserts. In contrast, broadleaf forests and rainforests in lower and middle latitudes(纬度) tended to grew worse under those conditions, possibly because they could not tolerate the longer dry periods. Statistically, daily rainfall variability was nearly as important as annual rainfall totals in driving growth worldwide.
The new study relied primarily on a suite of NASA missions and datasets, which provides rain and snowfall rates for most of the planet every 30 minutes using a network of international satellites. To measure plant response day to day, the researchers calculated how green an area appeared in satellite imagery. “Greenness” is commonly used to estimate vegetation density and health. They also tracked a faint reddish light that plants give off during photosynthesis(光合作用), when a plant absorbs sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into food. This faint light is an obvious sign of flourishing vegetation.
Feldman said the findings highlight the vital role that plants play in moving carbon aroundEarth——a process called the carbon cycle. “A finer understanding of how plants thrive or decline day to day, storm by storm, could help us better understand their role in that critical cycle,”Feldman said.
32. What is the main focus of the NASA-led study in the article
A. The global distribution of rainfall in a given year.
B. The role of satellites in monitoring rainfall and vegetation.
C. The impact of daily rainfall variability on vegetation growth.
D. The relationship between rainfall totals and vegetation growth.
33. What is the relationship between rainfall variability and plant growth
A. All types of vegetation respond similarly to rainfall patterns.
B. Lower latitudes rainforests grew better after longer dry periods.
C. Drier landscapes benefit from fewer but more intense rain events.
D. Rainfall variability shows a relatively weaker influence on plant growth.
34. Which method did researchers use to measure plant responses to rainfall variability
A. Conducting field experiments in specific locations.
B. Monitoring rainfall totals using a network of satellites.
C. Measuring the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by plants.

D. Analyzing satellite imagery for vegetation density and health.
35. What is Feldman's attitude toward the findings of this study
A. Cautious. B. Positive. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral.

The shape of Australia’ s school system is undergoing a significant change. Enrollments (入学人数) in independent schools are growing, while fewer students are going to public schools. Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option 36
One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent schools in Australia. In the 1990s, the Howard government changed a policy to allow funding for the establishment of new schools, even in areas that already had adequate capacity in existing schools.
New independent schools tend to charge lower fees than established elite schools. 37 According to Independent Schools Australia, the largest growth in enrollments is in schools charging fees of around A$5,000 per year.
38 New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car has spoken about this issue for her own son, who attends an independent primary school:“We were in one of the suburbs where the government didn't build a school.”
Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of“socioeconomic segregation(社会经济隔离)”. 39 The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system.
Public schools continue to educate the majority of children in remote locations. 40 Independent schools enroll increasing proportions of students from the most advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.
A. What account for this shift
B. How should we deal with this shift
C. They are those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
D. That makes them more accessible to middle-income families.
E. Parents will naturally choose what they perceive to be the best school.
F. This means different types of schools have students from different backgrounds.
G. In some cases, state governments are slow to build new public schools in suburbs.

It wouldn't fly. It wouldn't eat. What was wrong with it I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon.
The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn't even seem to take note of it.Just as our eyes met—— mine, dark brown; its fiery orange—— the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self-defense.
“I'm not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts(本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treat animals.
“I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well.

The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn't fly for some reason. Was it exhausted Heartbroken Abandoned It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind.
I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could become friends and end up adopting it.
I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn't let me have a dog,I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination.
