Late one night in July 2020，Halli was walking around Reykjavik's main shopping street with his family.They had just moved back to Iceland from the United States and were struggling with jet lag （时差）.When his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store，Halli faced a problem：a 20-centimetre step blocked his wheelchair from entering the store.This was not new to Halli，who has used a wheelchair since age 25 due to a muscle disease.As he waited outside，he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible.
Halli，a successful digital designer，had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility.After selling his company，Ueno，to Twitter （now X），he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly.In 2021，he launched Ramp （斜坡） Up Reykjavik，a non-profit project aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city's downtown within a year.Unlike temporary ramps in other cities，these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings，making them look like they had always been there.
With government funding and sponsors，the project went beyond its goal and expanded nationwide.By 2026，the team plans to build 1，500 ramps across Iceland，costing about 400 million Icelandic króna.Iceland's president praised the project，saying， "We want our society to be inclusive.Halli has shown us how easy it is to make a difference when we work together." In just three years，Halli has become a local hero，known as a "kind tech giant".He hopes his work inspires others.Recently，a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily. "Equal access is not a reality yet，" he says， "but change starts with one person."
14.What inspired Halli to start the "Ramp Up Reykjavik" project？______
A. A suggestion from Iceland's president.
B. The constant lack of wheelchair access.
C. His desire to become famous in Iceland.
D. His son's difficulty in entering the store.
15.Which of the following best describes Halli？______
A. Generous and patient. B. Positive and energetic.
C. Smart and hardworking. D. Inspiring and pioneering.
16.What can we infer about Halli's attitude toward accessibility？______
A. He thinks small actions can lead to big changes in society.
B. He is satisfied with temporary ramps as a long-term solution.
C. He believes governments should solve accessibility problems.
D. He considers Iceland's current accessibility measures sufficient.
C
Protecting marine （海洋的） animals is crucial for the health and balance of our oceans，since they play a vital role in the marine ecosystem，serving as food sources，contributing to nutrient cycling，and maintaining biodiversity.However，human activities such as overfishing，habitat destruction，and pollution pose significant threats to these creatures，so effective conservation measures should be taken to change for the better.
Most people know about the friendly voices of dolphins and the blue songs of humpback whales （座头鲸），but what about the hundreds of thousands of other creatures that live in the sea？Scientists estimate that over 100 types of marine mammals，as well as 1，000 different fish species，generate sounds.Additionally，many sea creatures produce passive sounds while eating，swimming，or crawling along the sea floor.A group of international scientists is now joining forces to create a library of all the unique sounds that animals living under the sea make.
The Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds，or GLUBS，will be an open-source collection of the signature sounds created by sea creatures.The team will use existing libraries of sea sounds and expand upon these to create a more comprehensive collection.The platform will also include AI algorithms （算法） that can detect and classify different sounds，which will allow scientists to produce species distribution maps.
When asked about the motivation for this project，Miles Parsons，one of the project's leaders，pointed to the worldwide decline in biodiversity.By examining the sounds coming from bodies of water，scientists can monitor the changes in the distribution and diversity of various ecosystems.Studying the sounds could also be used to identify new species.Parsons explained that many of the world's most extensive habitats are aquatic （水生的）.GLUBS could be a great resource in helping preserve water species around the world.
17.Which of the following is true about sea creature sounds？______
A. Only 1，000 different fish species produce sounds.
B. Little is known about the sounds of marine animals.
C. Some sounds don't have meanings to communicate.
D. It is difficult to hear the sounds of humpback whales.
18.How will AI be used in the library？______
A. It will be used to create new aquatic sounds.
B. It is needed when scientists distribute maps.
C. It helps manage the number of species in the sea.
D. It can help sort out the different collected sounds.
19.What reason did Miles Parsons give for creating the sound library？______
A. The variety of life is decreasing around the world.
B. We should protect the environment to preserve the ocean.
C. It will be a breakthrough to build such a library from zero.
D. Fishermen could use the sounds to help them catch more fish.
20.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？______
A. A scientific research assisted by AI.
B. Sharp decline in global biodiversity.
C. GLUBS：A Sound Library of the Sea.
D. Sounds Created by the Marine Animals.
D
Satellites are already in use for so many purposes today—from weather forecasting to communications，GPS，and more.Since the late 1970s，satellites （early models） and later missions such as the European Space Agency's （ESA） CryoSat-2 and the US Space Agency's ICESat-2，have also been used to monitor changes in the Arctic sea ice.Data suggests that sea ice is thinning over time due to climate change.Over the last 40 years，the extent of Arctic ice cover has been declining at a rate of 13% per decade.However，existing ways of measurement do not provide a clear and continuous picture of the state of sea ice.These satellites use special radar or laser-based altimeter instruments （雷达或激光测高仪）.Sea ice thickness is then calculated as the difference between the height of the ice and the top of the water （ice level–sea level）.This method works well during the winter months.
Unfortunately，satellite-based sea ice thickness measurements are inaccurate during the summer months：the time of the year with the greatest melting.This melting creates a pool of liquid water on the surface.As a result，the simple calculation （ice level–sea level） does not work as radar systems are unable to differentiate between ocean water and ice，thus making measurements inaccurate.Last September，scientists developed a new method to tackle this age-old issue.The new method combined computer modeling and satellite data to predict ice thickness—all year round.The research team led by Jack Landy，a scientist at the University of Tromso （The Arctic University of Norway），used the new method to distinguish between seawater and ice.The researchers built a model of the radar system's predicted data and cross-referenced these values to those collected by a satellite.This model allows the researchers to obtain accurate，year-round Arctic sea ice thickness data.According to Dr.Michel Tsamados from University College London，the new advanced climate model "will improve both the short-term forecasts for the weather at the mid-latitudes （中纬度地区） and the long-term forecasts that show what climate we will have in the future."
21.According to Paragraph 1，what does the satellite data tell us？______
A. We can measure the thickness of sea ice.
B. The Arctic ice will no longer exist in four decades.
C. Sea ice cover is thickening at a rate of 13% per decade.
D. Sea ice is melting due to climate change over the years.
22.What makes the ice level to sea level measurements inaccurate？______
A. Radar systems' inability to distinguish seawater from ice.
B. There being no way to consistently detect melt pools on ice.
C. Inaction of the laser-based altimeter instruments in summer.
D. There being technical difficulty calculating the height of the ice.
23.What does the new method aim to do？______
A. Provide accurate forecasts for the weather.
B. Replace satellites in monitoring sea ice changes.
C. Get a reliable summertime record of sea ice thickness.
D. Test the efficiency of machine learning in climate change.
24.What does Dr.Michel Tsamados think of the new model？______
A. It lacks the lasting impact on climate forecast.
B. It will be useful within different periods of time.
C. It needs improvement to predict the Arctic's future.
D. It replaces the need for satellite data in climate modeling.

Strength training，a type of exercise，is used to build strength，power，and endurance （耐力）. Many adults do strength training，but is it safe and useful for children？People used to think that strength training was not useful and even dangerous for children，possibly causing injuries that could affect their growth. However，the latest study shows that strength training does improve children's overall health.
When children do strength training，they get stronger as their muscles （肌肉） grow! The strength training can most likely make them better，faster and stronger. "It is so beneficial for their bodies，like their bones，joints and metabolic（新陈代谢的）health，" says Becca Rigg，a professional trainer at a fitness center. She knows all about the positive effects of strength training. She takes her kids to strength workouts two to three times per week.
"I also love the message teenagers receive when exercising this way：They may feel more confident when they finish such hard and tiring training. It is also rewarding for them to see results. They are，indeed，getting stronger while having a better image，" explains Rigg. "Sometimes they make strength training part of their life and it's easier for them to get involved in the training later."
How do kids get started？Just like other activities，it is very important to learn the correct way to do it. For strength training，it is a must to learn from an experienced coach because the coach can make sure children do movements safely and correctly. In the early stage，it is best for teens to simply use their body weight，such as doing push-ups and squats. Bodyweight movements can then be made more difficult by adding equipment or weights，for example，a barbell or dumbbells.
So，let's cheer our kids on as they lift，pull，and push their way to a stronger future. With our support and care，they'll grow up ready to take on whatever life throws at them.
(1) What does the latest study show about strength training？
______
(2) How often does Becca Rigg take her kids to strength workouts？
______
(3) Why is it a must to learn from an experienced coach？
______
(4) As a teenager，would you like to make strength training part of your life？Why？ （Please give two reasons.）
