Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive（入侵的）seaweed called sargassum (马尾藻类海草) showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023．
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent（推动者）for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.
What can be learned from paragraph 1
Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
How did most people react to the increasing sargassum
A.They didn’t take it seriously. B. They were anxious to clear it up.
C. They viewed it as new materials. D. They were excited to see a grand scene.
26. Which words can best describe Omar
A. Honest and ambitious. B. Strong-willed and confident.
C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Sympathetic and innovative.
27. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success
A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Solutions can be obtained from problems.
C. Love shines every dark corner. D. Heroes arise from humble beginnings.
C
When you enjoy your morning cup of tea, you are probably not aware that those tea leaves can mean injury, or even death, for Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens.
In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephants’ habitats and endangering their population. Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants.
Since the elephants need to use tea plantations as landmarks when travelling in forests, they almost unavoidably have to move through the farms. Moreover, because there are fewer humans around, pregnant females often use tea-growing areas as safe shelters to give birth. But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. When mothers try to dig their babies out, both may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermore, elephants are known to resist leaving their sick or dying behind, and a group may stay at a trench with a trapped baby for hours, unwilling to move on until all hope is lost.
Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible. The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants protection, and has established a certification programme to reward tea growers who are doing it right. Until now, only smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is growing. The organization believes that people may be encouraged to buy elephant-friendly brands when they know more about the risk tea can cause to these endangered animals.
Why do farmers in Assam dig trenches
A.To trap elephants. B. To mark boundaries.
C. To protect tea trees. D. To expand tea farms.
29. What can we say about baby elephants
A. They get stuck by the sharp branches of the tea trees.
B. They have difficulty moving around the uneven fields.
C. They might miss the landmarks while travelling in forests.
D. They fail to find a safe shelter when climbing out of trenches.
30. What does “it”underlined in the last paragraph refer to
A. Encouraging consumers to choose high-quality brands.
B. Rewarding tea growers for protecting the environment.
C. Promoting elephant-friendly trenches and organizations.
D. Creating a win-win situation for elephants and tea farms.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Trenches Pose Threats to Elephants
B. Habitat Loss Affects Endangered Animals
C. Growth of Tea Gardens Benefits Plantation
D. Farms Sponsor Environmental Organizations
D
Farming is destroying the planet, but there could be a much more environmentally friendly way to feed ourselves: using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide into food. “This is becoming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Solar Foods, a company that is building the first commercial-scale factory that will be able to make food directly from CO2.
There can be no doubt that immediate attention to find greener ways to grow food is required. Conventional agriculture, including organic farming, causes damage to the environment in many ways. It requires a lot of land, leading to habitat loss and deforestation. It is also the source of a third of all greenhouse gas emissions and releases other pollutants. It isn’t very efficient, either. Crops typically transform less than 1 percent of light energy into usable biomass (生物量).
Instead, Solar Foods plans to avoid photosynthesis (光合作用) altogether, and grow bacteria that use hydrogen as their source of energy. At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to split water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen will be added to large containers, where the bacteria grow, along with CO2 and ammonia (氨气). The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein.
Solein is made of bacterial cells and is up to 70 percent protein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of food. “We are aiming at replacing animal-sourced proteins, which we think have the highest environmental impact,” says Vainikka.
Compared with plant crops, Solein will use 100 times less water per kilogram of protein produced, 20 times less land and emit a fifth as much CO2, according to Solar Foods. There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather conditions.
“With Solar Foods and other companies scaling up their systems, this is truly beginning a new era of agriculture,” says Dorian Leger at Connectomix Bio in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and will help bend the carbon curve as well as lead to improved global food supply security.”
What is the author’s purpose in mentioning conventional agriculture in paragraph 2
To demonstrate its influence on crops.
B. To compare different farming methods.
C. To highlight the urgent need for alternatives.
D. To provide an example of agricultural types.
33. What is mainly presented in paragraph 3 concerning Solein
A. Its production process. B. Its storage condition
C. Its ingredient materials D. Its investment potential
All of the following are the features of Solein except ____________.
A.it is protein-rich. B. its production is weather sensitive.
C.it is resource-efficient D. its production is location-independent.
Which statement would Dorian Leger probably agree with
The use of Solein may help reduce carbon emissions.
Solein will dominate the agricultural development.
Solein can help achieve global food safety.
The prospect of Solein remains to be seen.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There has been a very serious decline (下降) in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 36
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 per cent and 98 per cent. 37 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. 38 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 per cent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring(后代) than small ones.
39 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 40 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensue food security.
Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
This puts them in the category of “critically endangered".
None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner (实践者) of chabaixi (茶百戏), displayed a special Chinese tea trick in a recent TV drama, 56 (arouse) great interest among ordinary people due to its apparent 57 (similar) with modern latte art (咖啡拉花艺术)。
Chabaixi, also 58 (know) as Shuidanqing (水丹青), can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. It is different from making latte because people use clear water to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water 59 (touch) the surface of whipped (搅打起泡沫的) tea, it turns into a white colour and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is famous as the tea-making technique, diancha (点茶), 60 quality is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
It was in 2017 61 Chabaixi was listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng, who started researching the origins of chabaixi in 62 1980s and brought the technique back in 2009 after decades of trials and practice.
"Chabaixi, as one of the various forms of tea-making techniques in China, provides us 63 a window to understand people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble 64 we have now. It would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand 65 history," Zhang said.

请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I first met Bo when I volunteered to be a docent (讲解员) at the zoo. It was a summer program our school participated in, where biology students earned extra credit by teaching little kids about some of the animals. I needed to increase my biology grade, so I asked my friend Sue Wang to be my partner. “Melanie, I'll do this with you, "she said, "but I'll do the talking. No way will I handle the animals! ” That was OK with me.
During the training course, our instructor Mr. Lindsey came to Sue and me and said,“OK, girls, your animal is a boa (蟒蛇).”I felt myself go cold. “I have to handle a boa "
That night, I had a nightmare. I was carrying the snake around a classroom, showing the kids, when all of a sudden it started constricting (收紧). It squeezed and squeezed and I couldn't breathe! I woke up in a sweat, my body rigid.
Next day I told my instructor. “Sure you can do it,”he said. He slid the door of the snake carrier open. “Now put your elbow in--slowly--and wait for him to crawl on your arm.Good, that's the way. "He wasn't wet or slimy. He was dry and soft! But it was scary. Mr. Lindsey stood beside me. “Relax, Melanie. You need to show him you aren't afraid. He needs to trust you, and you need trust him.”Yeah, right. He didn't do anything. Awesome! I named him Bo! After a few school visits, I began to really like my boa and was pretty much at ease with him.
Then came the day I will never forget. As usual I opened the carrier and took him out. After Sue talked about how boas live mostly in rain forests in Central and South America, I walked around the classroom, saying, " Don't be afraid. See, he is nice. You can touch him gently, here, on his back. His name is Bo."
Most of the kids actually did touch him, and everything went fine until one boy, for some unknown reasons, tapped Bo on the head. I froze.
My worst nightmare came true.I closed the carrier and signaled the kids to come inside.

My worst nightmare came true. He suddenly rushed forward. The next moment, he crawled around the wrist of a terrified little girl. She screamed, and all the other children scattered, horrified. My heart stopped. I knew I had to act fast. Gently, but firmly, I reached out and started to unwrap the snake from the girl's arm. “It's OK, it's OK," I murmured, trying to comfort both her and Bo. Mr. Lindsey rushed over and took the other end of the snake, guiding it back into its carrier. The little girl, still shaking, was led away by her teacher. The other children stood watching, wide-eyed.
I closed the carrier and signaled the kids to come inside. I knew they were scared, but I also knew that this was a teachable moment. I gathered them around me and explained that Bo had just defended himself. I stressed the importance of respecting animals and their space. Then, slowly, one by one, the children came forward to look at the carrier. They were still cautious, but their curiosity had won over their fear. I smiled and nodded at Mr. Lindsey, who gave me a thumbs-up. That day, I not only tamed a snake, but I also taught a valuable lesson about understanding and empathy. I knew then that my experience with Bo would be one I would cherish forever.
