Xu Hai’ou has spent most of her life promoting environmental protection work in Beihai, a coastal city in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, by cleaning beaches, protecting mi-grant birds and recycling kitchen waste.
Though her family originally comes from the eastern province of Shandong, the 60-year-old was raised in Guangxi and moved to Beihai for work at age 23, directly after graduating from college. Before she retired, she worked as a reporter for the Guangxi Daily Media Group, a news outlet in the region. In her free time, she became involved in voluntary work.
“In initially, in the 1990s, I helped impoverished children in Guangxi’s rural areas obtain financial aid from donors in Hong Kong, and set up my own NGO in 2004．At the time, it was Beihai’s only nonprofit social organization involved in volunteer work,” she said, “It’s very enjoyable to do this charity work and I have made many friends through it.”
She said her NGO focuses on environmental protection work and organizes a range of voluntary activities, including cleaning up beaches, and protecting mangrove forests and migratory birds.
In 2008, the organization joined a marine life protection event supported by the central government, the UN Environment Programme and the Global Environmental Facility.
Xu and her colleagues at the association arranged a number of voluntary events such as raising awareness of marine biodiversity among local residents and students, and beach -cleaning activities to help promote understanding of the need to protect marine animals and plants.
“Undertaking voluntary activities or charitable work has become my mission, and I want to contribute my own efforts to the nation’s environmental protection work, even if they only produce a small improvement. However, protecting the environment is very hard work. which can’t be done by a single person. I sometimes feel like my ability falls short of my wishes.”
According to Xu, her NGO is currently promoting the classification of waste in Beihai and recycling kitchen waste into compost. “We have mature technologies, but still face difficulties in promoting the program because many residents lack awareness of environmental protection. We hope the government can figure out better ways of managing the garbage after we classify it to make full use of this ‘waste’.”
24．What can we learn about Xu Hai’ou from the first two paragraphs
A．She grew up in Shandong Province.
B．She graduated in Beihai at the age of 23．
C．She works as a journalist for a newspaper at present.

We’re all familiar with the idea of climate change and how our planet is warming. Extremes in temperature have become more commonplace, making parts of the world difficult to live in. But one place where excessive heat is making life very uncomfortable is our cities. Luckily, innovation might be keeping a lid on it.
As thermometers record temperatures, sometimes above 50 degrees Celsius, solutions are being sought to cool the air in our cities. In India, for example, heatwaves and rapid urbanisation have led to a big rise in the use of air-conditioning units, adding to CO2 emissions. So, architects, looking for a sustainable cooling solution, are reviving an ancient “lattice” design, used in old buildings like the Taj Mahal, to construct comfortable, low-car-bon buildings. Yatin Pandya said: “Traditional architectural forms have proven their performance in combatting environmental conditions.”
In America, about 80% of the population lives in cities, and it’s these cities that suffer from an urban heat island effect, caused by factors such as trapped waste heat, concrete structures and pavements absorbing the sun and tall buildings blocking the wind. Residents and developers have tried to heatproof these places by planting large trees that offer shade and putting plants and gardens on top of roofs that use vegetation to help trap heat. And in Los Angeles, there’s an experiment to cover streets with light-coloured material that reflects rather than absorbs the sun and so they remain cooler than typical black roads.
But it’s satellites in space that are really giving us the best picture of our over-heated cities. Glynn Hulley, who is leading an image-capturing project, called the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring mission, said:“The data can be used to identify hotspots, vulnerable regions, and assess the cooling impacts of heat mitigation approaches." It’s already found how green spaces, white roads and water features, have helped prevent our cities from boiling over. But with excessive heat still posing a threat to our lives, more solutions are still needed.
28．What may make cities comfortable for us to live in
A．Low temperature. B．Innovation.
C．Enormous heat. D．Climate change.
29．What does the underlined word “combatting” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Worsening. B．Compromising with.
C．Fighting against. D．Challenging.
30．Which one can’t cause an urban heat island effect
A．Concrete structures. B．Skyscrapers.
C．Black squares. D．White roads.
31．What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows
A．How to make the most use of the data.
B．How the image-capturing project works.
C．Other solutions to the threat of overheating.
D．Beautiful images captured by satellites in space.

Pickleball. It’s got nothing to do with pickles—it’s a sport. It has been described as a combination of tennis, badminton and table tennis. Picture a small plastic ball soaring through the air that you need to bat back to your partner, or partners.
Many Brits are listening to their inner athlete and picking up this racket game. In the UK, there are currently around 7,000 players, according to Pickleball England. But the association aims to have more than 25,000 players by 2025and is even attempting to get the sport played as part of promotion for the 2028 Olympics.
How exactly do you play this game Well, it can be played indoors or outdoors and it can be played as a singles or doubles game. There are a few easy-to-understand rules. The ball is served underhand and should be batted diagonally across the court. On the first two hits, the ball has to bounce, but after that, players are free to volley. To win a point, the defending side must miss the ball.
So, why is it popular Firstly, it appears to be a game for all ages. The ball is lightweight because it’s full of holes. This means that, when batting, there is much less impact on the body than when hitting a tennis ball, for example. Elaine Brown, who is in her 50s and a regular pickleball player, told news organisation, The Guardian why she loves the sport. “It’s good exercise, it’s strategic, it can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be, and most of the time it’s just good fun.”
And the social aspect and low-impact nature of the game has been attracting players worldwide, creating a blossoming community of pickleball enthusiasts, such as celebrities Bill Gates and Leonardo DiCaprio. So, if you fancy picking it up, find your local pickleball court and give it a go!
32．What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly talk about
A．A new event in the Olympics. B．The favorite sport of the British.
C．The promising future of pickleball. D．The number of people playing pickleball.
33．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A．It can be played like a volleyball.
B．You don’t have to follow any game rules.
C．Defeating the defending side is very easy.
D．The game must be played with at least one partner.
34．Why does playing pickleball have less effect on the body than sports like tennis
A．Because it is lightweight. B．Because it is full of holes.
C．Because it is easy to play. D．Because it is just good fun.
35．What may be Bill Gates’ attitude towards playing pickleball
A．Indifferent. B．Supportive.
C．Unclear. D．Doubtful.

Whether it is the flu or any of the other cold-like viruses rising in winter, it seems that stuffy noses and sore throats are common symptoms. You may have noticed, however, that your cold seems to get better or worse depending on the time of day. Most commonly, you wake up with worse symptoms. Then, they partially clear up throughout the day, only to get worse once more as you get to bed. 36
Currently, the leading idea is that symptom severity is linked to our circadian rhythm（昼夜节律）. The circadian rhythm is very important for daily cellular processes. 37 It also plays a critical role in controlling the heart and the immune system.
38 This is why sleep is so important after you’ve been to the gym. This also applies when you are ill—the body floods the blood with white blood cells called leukocytes, resulting in and immune response against diseases and the immune system fighting infection.
This, therefore, explains why our cold symptoms get worse as we settle down for a night’s sleep. Cells infected by viruses are attracted to the local area and killed, causing soreness in the affected tissues, and mucus（鼻涕）floods the nose to join the fight. 39 You wake up feeling like death due to the battle happening within.
There are other reasons why you might feel worse at night. The first is simply gravity. When you lie down, your mucus builds up in the nose, causing pressure and headaches. 40 Another factor is about hormones. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by lack of sleep at night and could influence immune function, leading to a cycle of sleepless night s and then feeling worse.
A．Why does this happen
B．Others are reporting the same thing.
C．As you stand up, you start to feel better.
D．It’s a good thing, but it really doesn’t feel like it.
E．Gravity helps out a lot more when you are upright.
F．While resting, the body uses the downtime to recover.
G．And it can be affected by the amount of sleep and light we get each day.

I love stories of kindness, and one of my personal favorites from my travels happened in Morocco. My husband John and I got to experience their kindness and generosity first-hand during a 10-day trip across the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert. On our second-to-last day in Morocco, we took a trip to Essaouira, a quiet seaside town on the Atlantic. During the journey there, we stopped at a restaurant, where we got to taste local special oil and honey.
After a long time, we reached our small hotel in Essaouira at around dinner time, and on our way to a local restaurant, my husband started to feel unwell. He went back to the hotel. while I had dinner alone. When I got back to our hotel, I found my husband sitting on the bathroom floor. His face almost had no color. He had been sick about six times in an hour. And he spent a lot of time in the bathroom. We guessed that local special oil and honey probably didn’t agree with him, which caused him to feel so uncomfortable. At about 1 am, my husband finally managed to leave the bathroom and climb into bed. He was very weak and dehydrated（脱水的）, so I went down to the hotel’s reception（接待处）to buy a bottle of water.
I found a young man behind the desk—he didn’t look older than 18. Knowing little of the native language, I explained to him in English that my husband was sick and that I needed to buy some bottled water for him. Our hotel was very small and basic, and didn’t have a restaurant or cafe inside. Gladly, the receptionist was good at English. He understood me. He introduced himself as Pierre and said they didn’t sell any water, so I asked him where the nearest shop was. I looked out the window and my heart started to race. I didn’t have the courage to go into the unfamiliar streets in the dark, all by myself. Pierre noticed my fear. In-stead of giving me directions to the nearest shop, he asked me to wait for him for a while.
Paragraph 1:
Before I nodded, he had rushed out, _________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then, Pierre called a taxi and we went to the hospital together with him. ___________________________
