Farmers often lose crops because they cannot spot diseases fast enough. When a virus (病毒) spreads, it can destroy many plants and hurt nearby farms too. In Tanzania, several viruses attack crops every year. Farmers used to wait six months or more for lab results, but now a small, hand-held tool is changing everything.
The tool is made by a British company. It looks like a little box and is easy to carry to any field. First, a farmer cuts a tiny piece from a sick leaf. The tool then pulls out the plant’s DNA and reads it. Within two hours, it tells the farmer which virus is hurting the crop. This speed is very important, because the quicker the answer, the sooner the farmer can act.
After testing, farmer Asha Mohamed learned exactly which viruses were on her land. She was given two kinds of new seeds that can control those viruses. She planted them right away. Nine months later, scientists came back and saw tall, healthy plants and a big harvest. The same tool was also used in Kenya on Naomi Mumo’s pawpaw trees. The quick test showed the exact disease, and Naomi could choose the right treatment.
Because the tool is small and runs on batteries, farmers can use it anywhere. They do not need a big lab or a long waiting time. By finding viruses early and choosing resistant seeds, farmers protect their crops, their neighbors’ crops, and their income.
32．What was the main problem farmers faced in the past
A．A lack of modern farming techniques. B．A shortage of high-quality farming land.
C．A slow process to find diseases in crops. D．An inability to afford necessary supplies.
33．How does the hand-held tool help farmers
A．By watering the crops when needed. B．By increasing the growth speed of the crops.
C．By reading the plant’s DNA to find the virus. D．By predicting which diseases will spread next.
34．What happened to farmer Asha Mohamed after she used the tool
A．She got more land to plant her crops on. B．She received money to help pay for her farm.
C．She was given special seeds that stop viruses. D．All her crops became completely disease-proof.
35．Where is the text most likely from
A．A diary. B．A guidebook. C．A fairy novel. D．A science magazine.
Learning a new language is more than a skill. It gives you an opportunity to understand other cultures. 36 .
Choose a language
This is a personal decision. 37 If you enjoy studying Japanese history and culture, you may want to add Japanese to the list. Perhaps you’re planning to vacation in Brazil and decide to learn Portuguese before the trip. Maybe you live in an area with many Spanish speakers and believe being bilingual (双语的) will increase your job opportunities.
38
This is important because you need to know which words to use to express yourself and understand what you hear and see. According to the International Center for Language Studies, knowing between 4,000 and 10,000 words in a language typically makes you an advanced speaker.
Accept mistakes
Mistakes are a common part of the process when learning a language. You may choose the wrong word, change vowel sounds, or use the present tense form of a verb when talking about something that happened last week. When you make a mistake, pay attention to the advice you get. 39 .
Set aside time to practice
40 . According to the US Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute, a native English speaker typically needs between 600 and 750 class hours to learn languages like Dutch, French, Italian, and Spanish. You’ll spend around 900 class hours learning German, Haitian Creole, and Swahili. Sometimes you need to learn languages with fewer features in common with English. Then you’d better put in at least 1,100 class hours.
A．Build your vocabulary
B．Keep trying before setting a goal
C．Focus on the 100 most commonly used words
D．Try out these steps for how to learn a new language
E．Learning a new language takes time and needs regular practice
F．Your interests, needs, and goals can help you narrow your choices
G．For example, the person you’re talking to may correct your grammar or vocabulary choice

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, and washed and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of “Happy New Year” in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast, he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met.
When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, wanting to buy those books.
As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children trembling with cold. “I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly.
Edward stopped and said, “It seems that you do not belong to this country” The man again shook his head, a confused expression appeared over his face, for he could not understand or speak English.
But the poor man pointed to his mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in difficult situation.

【原文】 I live in a small town. Four years ago, my friends and I decided to convince our local community of the need for a proper park. We soon formed an action group consisting of students, teachers and parents. All led by a local restaurant owner, Martin Ashton. The next thing the action group had to do was to start raising money. We advised our school to organize a concert, and all the ticket money went toward the park fund. Apart from this, we did everything we could think of to raise money. I took away the rubbish and others organized sales of second hand books and stuff like that. Five months later, we only had 185,000 pounds, but we still need 15,000 pounds. And it was Martin Ashton who made up the difference. In the meantime, John Richardson was helping out with the planning stage of the project. He works as a designer in London. He has a company which is excellent at designing parks. So the action group held a community meeting. All the people said yes to the company. Now we have this fantastic new park.

66．One possible version:
My Views on Weekend Break
Recently, we have been discussing a heated topic: Weekend Break: Friday or Saturday
In my opinion, starting the weekend break on Friday after school is better. First, it gives students a longer rest period, helping them relax and recharge fully. After a busy week, an early break reduces stress and improves productivity. Second, it allows more time for hobbies or family activities, promoting a better work life balance.
However, some may prefer Saturday to ensure all schoolwork is finished. But with good time management, Friday’s early start offers greater benefits. In short, a longer break leads to a happier, healthier student life!
One possible version:
My Views On Weekend Break
Recently, we have been discussing a heated topic: one-day weekends or two-day weekends As a student, I strongly support the two-day weekend over the one-day weekend.
First, a two-day break gives us more time to relax and recover from a busy school week, helping us feel refreshed. Second, it allows us to spend quality time with family and friends, which makes us happier. Finally, having two days off improves our energy and focus, making us more productive when we return to school. A one-day weekend is too short and leaves us tired.
Therefore, I believe a two-day weekend is better for balancing school and life.
67．Paragraph 1:
He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which might mean, “You are doing me a great favor, and I am very grateful to you.” The man was so moved that he stood there, failing to say any words. At the same time, Edward saw a bright smile spread across the man’s face. He smiled back at the father, waved goodbye to the family and went home delightedly.
Paragraph 2:
When Edward went home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. Then he told the story to his father. “I have bought no books,” said he, “I can wait for my books till next New Year.” “My dear boy,” said his father, “here are a dozen of books. I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New Year gift.” It was on that very moment that Edward realized a small act of kindness may be powerful enough to make a huge difference.
