Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage
in common: They don't have windows. That's true for Logan Earnest's fifth grade classroom, and
he felt it was affecting his students.
“Most of the day, they're inside, ”Earnest told CBS News. “And they don't really get to see
any trees, grass, or the blue sky. ”He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may
affect their attention and even their attendance.
This was confirmed by former school psychologist Emes to Rodriguez, who said the lack of
windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and
benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than
ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger(公园 管理员)on
Southern California's Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion landscape photography
It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have
views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring
nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms via the ceiling(天花
板), because teachers don't typically use them .
Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies(树冠)using his photography skills, then he
printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest's fifth grade. “Beautiful, ”one
student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you
look up, it feels like you're sitting under a tree. ”
Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my
attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I
think the kids are going to be happier, ”he said.
24. What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary?
A. Lack of fresh air B. Insufficient lighting
C. Absence of windows D. Limited access to technology.
25. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms?
A. To promote his photography skills
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. To connect the students with nature.
C. To improve the teachers' performance.
D. To create an exciting environment for the students
26. How did the students react to Rodriguez's picture on the classroom ceiling?
A. They did not notice the change.
B. They failed to concentrate on lessons.
C. They preferred the original gray ceiling
D. They were in favour of the new addition.
27. What's Logan Earnest's attitude towards the change in the classroom?
A. Appreciative and supportive. B. Cautious and objective.
C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Curious but unsure.

Elephants' important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned
them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest
elephants a species living in the rainforests of central Africa are increasingly recognized by
another name: “climate heroes”
African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their
forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO₂ from the atmosphere. They do this
by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant
species. It's estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture( 捕 获)capacity
of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year's worth of
emissions(排放量)from 2, 047 cars
“as strange as it seems, all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of
the air, ”says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes!. Elephants eat more than
400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the
forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that
have the ability to absorb and store more CO₂.
In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because
elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until
they drop back to the forest floor.
But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These
学科网（北京）股份有限公司mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory(象牙), but also from
habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86%over a
period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%.
Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their
ecological contributions that we all rely on.
28. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change?
A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species
B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest.
C. They take in heat-trapping CO₂ from the atmosphere
D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest.
29. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Consume. B. Spread. C. Preserve. D. Gather.
30. What are the threats facing African forest elephants?
A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss.
B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem
C. Natural disasters resulting from climate change.
D. Competition for water sources with other animals
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Preserving Forests: Elephants' Contribution
B. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants
C. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes
D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction

Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how
reflectors(反射器)placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large- scale
solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set.
In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help
determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power.
Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1, 000 kilometers from Earth could
reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight
could increase the output of the world's future solar farms, particularly after sunset when
学科网（北京）股份有限公司electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or
increasing their size.
The team developed an algorithm( 算 法 )to determine how the reflectors could be arranged
to catch the sun's rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms
around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors
could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day equal to adding an additional large solar
power farm to Earth without the cost of construction.
Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race
to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our
reliance on fossil fuels. ”Moreover, the price of solar panels(太阳能电池板)has dropped quickly
in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large
solar farms around the world.
One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during
daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness
of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which
receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective.
32. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space?
A. To increase the production of solar power.
B. To produce electricity for agricultural use.
C. To bring the effects of climate change under control
D. To improve communication between Earth and space.
33. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms?
A. The increased demand for electricity.
B. The development of space technology.
C. The decrease in the cost of solar panels.
D. The requirement to preserve the environment
34. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms?
A. They'll replace fossil fuels completely.
B. They'll be more cost-effective and efficient.
C. They’ll become the primary source of energy.
D. They'll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight.

A. A policy brief B. A maths website.
C. A marketing brochure. D. A news report

Training for a marathon is one of the most physically demanding activities you can willingly
put yourself through. And when the race day finally comes after months of training and hours
spent running on the playground you want to finish the race well. But sometimes that just doesn't
happen
A warm moment happened among three runners, and with the help of two other runners,
there was a runner who reached the finish line and finished the race. It's reported that the three
runners didn't know each other before the race.
That moment happened at the 2023 London Marathon. A runner named Louis experienced
this as he worked his way towards the end of the race. The man began to double over (弯腰)and
was on the edge of collapsing(昏倒)as other runners passed by.
Clearly, he was too tired to finish the race. But it was only 200 meters left. And he might fall
to the ground at any time
So tired, Louis fell to the ground and looked white and upset. At that moment, a runner saw
Louis who needed help, so the runner ran to him and picked him up.
“Are you OK? ”the runner asked Louis.
“I am too tired to keep running, ”Louis replied.
“Come on! Let me support you to the finish line 200 meters away, ”the runner said and
grabbed his arm.
“It is very kind of you, ”Louis said happily.
With the help of the runner, there were only 150 meters away from the finish line. But it
seemed that he couldn't hold Louis steady enough. Louis was in a bad condition and would fall to
the ground at any time. The runner was very anxious and watched helplessly as other runners ran
学科网（北京）股份有限公司to the finish line, not knowing what to do
Although the runner tried his best to support Louis steady, Louis fell to the ground again.
