In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles. She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children's access to books in wealthy and low income communities.
One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks. “I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand-new books because they didn't have room in the library,” said Constantino. She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.
Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge the gap. “School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all,” said Constantino. “If you're a child in an underserved community, you're left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books.”
The word about Constantino's work was spread, and books began piling up. Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1.5 million books to public- school and community libraries across California. The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.
Constantino recruits （招募）volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant（充满生机的）and welcoming library space. Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in. “We're working together. It's not a gift; it's a partnership. It really builds a sense of community,”said Constantino.
In addition to book donations and refurbishing（再装修）libraries，the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids. Constantino said, “If we provide high-interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read. We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming. So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give. My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”
24. Why did Constantino do the study in 1999
A. To prepare for a PhD.
B. To reduce the waste of books.
C. To donate more books to poor communities.
D. To figure out kids' ways of gaining reading books.
25. How did Constantino bridge the gap
A. By obtaining donated books.
B. By raising money on the street.
C. By founding a profitable organization.
D. By getting support from the local government.
26. Which can best describe Constantino's work
A. Ambitious. B. Controversial. C. Depressing. D. Successful.
27. What impact does the nonprofit organization have on kids in poor communities
A. They are more willing to read books.
B. They can turn to writers on campus.
C. They donate their own books to school libraries.
D. They think the books on the shelf difficult to read.
C
Finding low-cost sustainable building materials is important for the environment and in providing access to affordable housing. Researchers have created a composite（复合的）building material by replacing sand in building materials with a common, non-degradable（不可降解的）waste product：used disposable diapers（一次性尿布）.
Driven by a desire to solve Indonesia's significant population growth and demand for low-cost housing, researchers looked for a way of maintaining the benefits of building materials but making it more environmentally friendly and cheaper to produce. Building material samples containing different proportions （比例）of disposable diaper waste were tested. Then the researchers calculated the maximum amount of sand that could be replaced with diaper waste, finding that up to 8% of the sand could be replaced to safely construct a house with 36 square meters. 10% of the sand could be replaced in a three-story house and 27% in a single- story house. In terms of the materials used to create partition walls（隔断墙）, the researchers said they could replace up to 40% of sand.
“This research has concluded that adding used diapers to building materials does not significantly weaken its strength, ” the team stated. “It proves using diapers to create composite materials is feasible, particularly concerning the development of environmentally friendly and cost-effective materials. ”
Indonesia is ranked sixth globally for disposable diaper usage. Many used diapers are thrown away in the country's rivers and waterways, causing pollution. In 2019, the total waste in Indonesia was 29. 21 million tons. This figure rose to 32. 76 million tons in 2020.
However, the researchers know the current limitations of using waste diapers as a construction material. For one thing, it would require engagement with waste treatment facilities to collect used diapers from households and deal with them. Secondly, machines that cut up the used diapers would be needed on a large scale.
Nonetheless, the research highlights the potential for using non-degradable waste, addressing sustainability issues and providing low-cost housing.
28. Which is an advantage of replacing sand with used disposable diapers
A. Lowering carbon footprint.
B. Speeding up the construction of housing.
C. Increasing the weight of building materials.
D. Improving the quality of building materials.
29. What does the underlined word “feasible” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Enormous. B. Conservative.
C. Practical. D. Urgent.
30. What is the author's purpose of writing paragraph 4
A. To introduce a topic.
B. To attract the readers.
C. To draw a conclusion.
D. To provide background information.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Building Materials Are in Great Demand
B. Indonesia's Awareness of Environmental Protection
C. A Further Study on Materials of Disposable Diapers
D. Waste Disposable Diapers Lay the Foundation for Future Homes
D
When scientists talk about recent extinctions, birds and mammals（哺乳动物）get most of the attention. But the first global analysis of its kind finds it is twice as many plants that have disappeared as birds, mammals, and amphibians（两栖动物）combined.
Researchers reviewed published research, international databases, and museum specimens such as grasses from Madagascar, finding that 571 plants species have gone extinct in the past 250 years. One reason why the total is higher than that of the well-studied animals is that there are simply more species of plants. Looking at percentages, the situation is worse for mammals and birds. An estimated 5% of those species have gone extinct, compared with 0.2% of plants.
The loss includes the Chile sandalwood tree in the South Pacific, which was cut down for its fragrant（芳香的）wood． It was last seen on Robinson Crusoe Island in 1908． The extinction rates among plants have been highest for trees and shrubs on islands, which often have species that occur nowhere else, and in regions with rich diversity, especially the tropics and in Mediterranean climates.
Just a few years later, the world lost the banded Trinity (Thismia americana), a leafless plant that grew entirely underground except for its flowers. Most species of this kind of plant grow in rainforests, but this plant was first described in 1912 in a sandy wetland in Chicago, Illinois, and was wiped out by development.
According to the team's report in Nature Ecology & Evolution, the total of 571 extinct plant species is four times higher than the official listing kept by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Even so， it is probably still an underestimate（低估）, as less is known about the status of plants in Africa and South America than on other continents. Many of these species may disappear, too. A major review of the status of global biodiversity recently estimated that more than a million species, including 14% of plant and animal diversity, are threatened with extinction.
32. What caused the extinction of the Chile sandalwood tree
A. Climate change. B. The market demand.
C. Environmental pollution. D. The decline of the habitat.
33. What do we know about the banded trinity
A. It flowered without bearing seeds.
B. It disappeared during the 19th century.
C. It was a flowering plant without leaves.
D. It was a rare plant growing underground.
34. What can we infer about the plant species from the text
A. Their current situation is more worrying.
B. About one plant species dies out every year.
C. More plant species will keep alive in the reserve.
D. They would be replaced by other new species soon.
35. In which section of the newspaper can we find the text
A. Sports. B. Nature. C. Entertainment. D. Figures.

Words of Support
When your friends have doubts about their work or think their latest idea is second-rate, you've probably felt unsure about just how to support. But being there for people you love can be a positive experience for both sides. 36 Read on for tips on how to show your support.
Be positive. One way to offer support is to remind your friends of any previous occasions when they doubted themselves or their writing but their English teacher thought it was great and gave them a top mark. If they're still worried, you could highlight what you like in the work. Be as specific as you can about these areas. 37
Be supportive. The golden rule is to be supportive and to help people grow and develop. 38 This provides the person with something concrete that they can change and means they're less likely to feel they're being unfairly criticised or that there's nothing they can do to make things better.
Be patient. 39 This can help them feel valued. If someone hasn't requested your opinions but they seem unsure of what they've done and you're familiar with the subject, you could ask if they'd be OK to hear your thoughts.
40 Part of being supportive and honest is appreciating when people treat you with the same respect and learning from what they know and the words of encouragement they share with you.
A. Be receptive.
B. Be straightforward.
C. A large part of this is giving constructive feedback.
D. What can you do to help them change their attitude to work
E. How can you make the experience pleasant and positive for you both
F. Give others time to respond and make sure you listen to their opinions.
G. This will show that you've paid attention and you want them to do well.
