While teaching biology at Grandville High School, Kevin Randall runs the environmental club at the high school, which has around 2,000 students. The club is known as the GHS Green Team, and it aims to raise awareness among students and teachers about sustainability (持续性). It also works on projects to reduce the environmental footprint of the building itself.
One of the club’s recent projects focused on reducing waste in the school cafeteria. Randall said their cafeteria director told them that the school went through 54,000 plastic forks every year. The club applied for a financial help, built recycling centers for the cafeteria, and bought metal silverware. And now every student uses a durable metal fork or a spoon instead of disposables (一次性用品), “and that’s just one way we’re trying to capture the low-hanging fruit, if you will,” Randall said.
The efforts of Randall and his students have earned Grandville High School the Michigan Green School certification from the state. In addition to their work reducing waste in the cafeteria, the GHS Green Team has also built a garden with flowers and vegetables on campus, and leads cleanups on site and out in the community. Over the years, Randall and his students have also been working on raising money to install solar panels (太阳能板) on the roof of the high school.
Randall said he was motivated to take the lead on environmental issues for his school because he wanted his students to have someone to turn to in the building who understands what makes a difference when it comes to climate change.
“And I also felt like I needed to do more in my life for my own two children at home,” Randall added, “They need to know that their dad is working as hard as he can to reduce the effects of climate change, and to spread the word, and to make sure that other students out there are learning about this just the way they are at home.”

A．To inspire students’ love for biology.
B．To promote environmental protection.
C．To prepare students for their future jobs.
D．To finish the projects conducted by school.

6. What’s the paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The popularity of the projects.
B．The expectation of his career.
C．The achievements of the club.
D．The future plan of the school.
7. What was Randall’s aim by doing the work on environmental issues

D．To run a happy family.

More than 56% of the world’s oceans have changed color to an extent that cannot be explained by natural variability, said a team of researchers from the UK and the US. Tropical oceans close to the equator (赤道) in particular have become greener in the past two decades, reflecting changes in their ecosystems, according to the study published in the journal Nature.
The color of the ocean comes from the materials found in its upper layers. For instance, a deep blue sea in the Pacific Ocean might have very little life in it, but a green color means there are ecosystems, based on phytoplankton (浮游植物), plant-like microbes which contain chlorophyll (叶绿素) and form the basis of a food web which supports larger organisms such as krill, fish, seabirds and marine mammals.
It’s not clear exactly how these ecosystems are changing, said Stephanie, senior research scientist in MIT. “Ocean ecosystems are finely balanced and any change in the phytoplankton might decimate the food chain, causing an imbalance in the natural organization of ecosystems. Such imbalance will only get worse over time if our oceans keep heating. It will also affect the ocean’s ability to act as a store of carbon, as different plankton absorb different amounts of carbon,” she added.
While the researchers are still working to unpick exactly what the changes mean, what is clear, they believe, is that the changes are being driven by human-caused climate change. The researchers monitored changes in ocean color from space by tracking how much green or blue light is reflected from the surface of the sea. They analyzed color variation data from 2002 to 2022 and then used climate change models to simulate what would happen to the oceans both with additional planet-heating pollution and without. Not surprisingly, the color changes matched almost exactly what scientists predicted would happen if greenhouse gases were added to the atmosphere-that around 50% of our oceans would change color.
8. How does the author develop Paragraph 2
A．By making comparison.
B．By presenting research findings.
C．By giving examples.
D．By displaying more opinions.
9. What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph
A．Damage.
B．Construct.
C．Acquire.
D．Display.
10. What is the root of the ocean color change
A．The materials found in the ocean surface.
B．The imbalance in ocean ecosystem.
C．The changeable climate.
D．The destructive human activities.
11. What might be the best title of the text
A．Climate changes bring greener oceans
B．Ecosystem works differently in the ocean
C．Scientists are further exploring the sea
D．Secrets about the ocean are being unlocked

Cooking tutorials (教程) on the social media, which dish out entertaining, accessible cooking directions by and for young people, have millions of viewers, making it a major generational hobby and source of pride. 18-year-old Mia Kristensen is one of them. Cooking is something she enjoys, and preparing dinner all by herself has become an achievement.
According to Mary Bliss, who researches habits among young people, saving money is an additional motivation to keep cooking. Indeed, knowing how to cook — even if it began as an economic consideration — has become a key identity marker for the young, who tend to define themselves through hobbies, like cooking. Cooking, as a hobby, can signal a number of values, noted researcher Kathy Sheehan. Young adults are particularly concerned with building their favorite lives, say, someone is interested in different cultures, or prefer local and seasonal produce. And cooking reflects this.
As a creative act, cooking serves as a quiet break largely free from technology. For young people who’ve spent nearly their whole life with the internet, cooking can be calming. “It grounds you in a world that’s real,” Roberta Katz, a cultural professor said.
Cooking means more to young people like Celeste Mosley, 21. After finding a rice pudding recipe on TikTok, making it has become the only thing that gets her out of bed and comforts her. This isn’t a surprise and Nicole Farmer who is studying behavior and nutrition has proved it: The process of cooking can improve one’s mood and relieve one’s anxiety and depression. Simply, cooking commands your full attention and all of your senses. You must balance various skills, whether properly slicing, cognitively planning, or creatively constructing leftovers into a new sweet dish. Besides, cooking boosts self-confidence and strengthens social bonding especially when meals are shared.
Now in my 40s, I still remember one college summer. After long hours of working at a bakery, I proudly walked out with a bag of unsold bread, which were both filling and free for my roommates and me. Among the skills I acquired in the ups and downs of young adulthood, baking bread was the greatest one.
12. What does the underlined “this” refer to in Paragraph 2
A．Exploring diverse cultures.
B．Tasting produce in season.
C．Live a life as they wish.
D．Planning for their future.
13. What is implied in Nicole Farmer’s studies
A．Cooking cures those who are physically ill.
B．Cooking stops the young from getting up late.
C．Cooking prepares the young to be great chefs.
D．Cooking calls for all-round skills and minds.
14. For the author, baking is ________
A．a reminder of growth.
B．a way to make friends.
C．a symbol of success.
D．a must to survive.
15. What is the best title of the text
A．Let the young cook
B．TikTok: source of recipes
C．Why do humans cook
D．Researches on cooking

The final exams were finally over, and the long-awaited summer vacation would begin. To celebrate, Mary invited her seven friends to her house. Her parents were away on a business trip, so the teenagers had the whole place to themselves. The fridge was packed with fresh vegetables, meat, and drinks — everything they needed for a homemade feast (大餐). It would be a great evening! Laughter and chatter filled the kitchen as they got ready to cook.
Suddenly, they heard loud explosions from outside. A few girls screamed. “What happened ” cried Lily, her voice shaking. When they looked out, they saw the transformer (变压器) on fire in the street. The lights flashed and died, throwing the whole house into complete darkness.
All froze quiet. Mary tried to find some candles and lit one, making everything clear. And soon they faced a big problem: as the electric stove was useless, how could they cook the dinner to feed themselves
Disappointment hung in the air. Mary sighed and then her eyes suddenly lit up. “Why not have a barbecue We’ve got all the ingredients, and charcoal (木炭) is in the backyard!”.

Dear Lily,
I'm glad to receive your email. Here are some tips for you when visiting a Chinese family.
You'd better arrive on time or a few minutes earlier. It's polite to bring a small gift like fresh fruit or flowers. At the table, wait for elders to start eating first and don't make loud noises while eating.
Wish you a wonderful time in China.
Yours,
