Greta Thunberg was born on January 3, 2003, in Stockholm, Sweden. Her parents provided her with an artistic and creative environment when she was young. At the age of 8, Greta first learned about climate change during a school lesson. The knowledge of the coming environmental crisis (危机) deeply troubled her, and she couldn’t understand why so little was being done to handle it.
In 2018, Thunberg began a school strike outside the Swedish parliament. For almost three weeks before the Swedish election in September, she sat alone or with a few supporters, handing out informational flyers and demanding stronger measures on climate change from the government. Her actions quickly gained attention, and students around the world began to follow her lead, organizing their own climate strikes. Her one-person protest (抗议) finally grew into a global movement known as “Fridays for Future”.
In December 2018, Greta gave a speech at the United Nations Climate Change Conference(COP24), where she called on world leaders to take immediate action. But it was her speech at the 2019 United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York that truly made headlines. Her passionate request for action on climate change was heard by millions around the world.
Greta has received many honors and awards, including being named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. However, she has also faced serious criticism and personal attacks. Even so, Thunberg remains undaunted. She continues to be a leading voice in the fight against climate change. Her courage and determination have inspired millions of people around the world to take action to protect the planet.
24．What led Greta to pay attention to climate change
A．A crisis she faced. B．The support of her school.
C．A class she attended. D．The advice from her parents.
25．What can be learned from the second paragraph
A．Greta didn’t want to go to school.
B．Greta achieved success through great efforts.
C．Greta was lonely because few people supported her.
D．Greta led a global movement known as “Fridays for Future”.
26．What does the underlined word “undaunted” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Determined. B．Inspired. C．Addicted. D．Absorbed.
27．What is the best title of the text
A．Climate Crisis around the World.

C．The United Nations Climate Change Conferences.
D．Greta: An Influential Woman for Personal Growth.
Once plentiful around the world, the number of peregrine falcons (游隼) began to fall after World War II with the introduction of pesticides like dieldrin, aldrin and DDT. Dieldrin and aldrin killed the birds directly, while DDT weakened chicks eggshells, lowering their chances of survival. In the US, the falcons’ number reached a low point of 324 pairs in 1974 - a sharp decline from more than 3,800 pairs before the mid-20th century.
Peregrine falcons were placed on the endangered species list in 1970. The US Environmental Protection Agency banned (禁止) the use of DDT in 1972. Two years later, the agency banned most use of aldrin and dieldrin, with an exception for white ant control.
Before long, the bans worked. Four climbers made a surprising discovery while climbing Yosemite’s EI Capitan in 1978: an active peregrine falcon nest, which had not been seen in the area for decades. They reported their find to the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group, who quickly took action. They came up with an ambitious plan and asked the climbers if they wanted to help. At their request, the climbers once again climbed EI Capitan, but this time, they collected samples of eggs from the nest and brought them back down for testing. The eggs were delicate and thin, so researchers decided to incubate (孵化) them in a lab, and then rock climbers risked their lives returning the chicks to the nest.
Peregrine falcons were removed from the endangered species list in 1999. As many as 40,000 individuals may now be flying freely in North America. Without the cooperation of climbers, peregrine falcons might still be struggling to gain a foothold in Yosemite. Instead, the birds’ recovery is a rare success story where humans prioritized the needs of other species above their own.
28．What caused the drop in the number of peregrine falcons
A．World War II. B．The chemicals. C．City development. D．Air pollution.
29．How did the climbers help the Bird Research Group
A．They carried the eggs back for testing. B．They reported their finding to people.
C．They found the nest in the EI Capitan. D．They risked their lives protecting eggs.
30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Peregrine falcons are looking for their homes.
B．People rarely put their own needs in the first place.
C．People have helped Peregrine falcons recover successfully.
D．Peregrine falcons are still on the endangered species list now.
31．Where can we probably read the passage
A．A news report. B．A research paper. C．A travel leaflet. D．A nature magazine.
Google’s DeepMind can control a robotic arm to beat ordinary table tennis players, according to a new study. But Fan Zhendong, the 2024 gold medalist for individual and team men’s table tennis, can rest easy: The AI-powered robot could only beat players at a medium level, and only on certain occasions, which was published but has not been reviewed by experts in this field.
Robots can now cook and clean, but they struggle to quickly respond to real-world environmental information. Achieving human-level performance in terms of accuracy (准确性), speed and generality still remains a great challenge in many fields.
To overcome this limitation, the researchers combined an industrial robot arm with a customized version of DeepMind’s powerful learning algorithms (算法). DeepMind uses neural networks to gradually learn new information. The system was also trained to master specific aspects of the game — for example, the rules, the techniques of playing — with real-world and simulated (模拟的) data in algorithms.
As the AI learned, the researchers collected data on its strengths, weaknesses and limitations. Then, they fed this information back to the AI program, thus giving DeepMind a realistic impression of its abilities. The system picked which skills or plans to use in the moment, considering its competitors’ strengths and weaknesses, just like a human table-tennis player might. Most of the human players seemed to like playing against the system. They agreed that playing with the robot was fun and attractive.
The new approach could be useful for a wide range of applications that call for quick responses in changing physical environments, as the researchers said.
32．What can we know from paragraph 1
A．The robot can beat advanced human table tennis players.
B．The finding has been published and examined by experts.
C．Fan Zhendong can have a good rest because of the invention.
D．The level of players matters in the competition with the robot.
33．How did the researchers improve the system
A．By adding more game rules to the system.
B．By replacing the control part with a new one.
C．By changing the robotic arm into a new version.
D．By combining the robotic arm with algorithms and data.
34．What’s the most players’ attitude to this new approach
A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Positive. D．Discontent.
35．Which could be a practical application of the new approach
A．Making robots clean the floor in an empty bedroom.
B．Guiding robots to serve food in an orderly restaurant.
C．Directing robots to rescue people in a burning building.
D．Using robots to water plants in a well-organized garden.
Stress is a normal experience when we have a challenging event. We can experience stress when learning something new, starting a new job or being in a race. But how we see the stress can actually make a difference to the way it affects us. 36 .Read your body differently
Start to read your stress response as being there to help you prepare for the challenge. When you are experiencing stress, you can say to yourself, “It’s normal that I am feeling a little uncomfortable and my heart is beating faster. 37 .”Redefine the meaning of the event
Rather than seeing new events as a threat, try to treat them as a challenge. Part of the reason why they are seen as a threat is that your whole future and worth appear to be in danger. 38 . They are, in fact, a very small part of your life that does not decide your whole future. 39
Some common ways people approach stress is to try to reduce and avoid it. These approaches actually strengthen the opinion that stress is “bad”. Instead of ignoring the emotions, it’s better to feel and accept them. You can say to yourself, “I feel this way because this goal is important to me.”Add to your resources
40 . It is just like an athlete who is about to compete but has not trained. Put time into study, study in different ways (read, write ideas in your own words, talk about the ideas, draw them) and give yourself time to practise these ideas.
Stress will always be present in our lives as we take on new challenges and grow as a person. Try to make it good.
A．Reduce and avoid stress.
B．However, this is not the truth.
C．Accept stress and negative emotions.
D．My body is getting me ready to compete.
E．When we see stress as a threat, it will become one.
F．Here are some tips for you to use stress to your advantage.
G．Clearly, changing your mindset is helpful only if you have the resources to cope.

That’s why we’ll make every effort to get these back to the family as soon as possible.”
Ten hours passed with no response. Determined to reunite the gifts with their owners, Kane and Ramey worked tirelessly and their colleagues, family members and friends were asked to help track down the owner and they finally got lucky.
Around 9 p.m., Mary of East Wenatchee, Washington, posted on Facebook that her brother Carlie had lost a bag full of kids’ Christmas gifts.
