Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got
some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year
-old son tocancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. CouldDellahelp?
That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To
celebrate her 53rd,the long-time social service professional had put out a call onher blog.She
wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed
information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family,she
sent a wind chime( 风 铃 )with the message“Listen to the wind and know that I am
near”written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old's bedroom, where his older brother can
go tolisten to itwhenever he wants.
This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th,
in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good
near her homeand beyond. Its aim is simple: Do YourBest, ShowYourLove!

Beavers(海狸),like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature's
engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for
protection from enemies. Dams also slow water's flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that
would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity
where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause
flooding, andmostpeople prefer trees aliveand upright.
Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter,
many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed
SwallowPondinto an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.
Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five
feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But
county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank
supportingWinston Path.
To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced
a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles
stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam,
unnoticed bythebeavers.
People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18,
organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage
beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We
cover the trees we don't want them to eat, while planting periodically others they like,"said
Jones.“Weneed-to learntogive upalittleof ourwants to share theEarth's resources.”
SwallowPond's 2023project willrestore proper water depthand improvewildlife habitat
withoutcreating problems forthepath. The balancing act continues.
28.Whatis thefirst paragraph mainly about?
A. Wherebeavers' favorite surroundings are.
B. Whateffects beavers have ontheirhabitat.
C.Whybeavers are called nature's engineers.
第4页共12页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D.Howbeavers help attract wildlifediversity.
29.Why did the beaver family's activity cause concern?
A.SwallowPond would flood often.
B.Sediment would flow downstream.
C. Thepopularpath might bedamaged.
D. Beavers might have to liveunderwater.
30.Whatdotheunderlined words“beaverbaffle”referto inparagraph 4?
A.Ablock to keep beavers away. B.A tool to fixholes in thedams.
C.Adevice tomaintain water level. D.Amaterial to protect the soil bank.
31.Whatis thetheme ofSwallowPond's 2023project?
A. Biological diversity. B.Harmonious coexistence.

Some bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria
gain energy from light, just as plants do.Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(蓝藻菌
)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn't survive long on artificial
surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface — a mushroom. Their
creation isthe first mushroom tomake electricity.
Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy
farm. This bionic(生物电子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria
togenerate electricity. Its design could lead to newways ofcombining nature withelectronics.
Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing electrons(电子).
When enoughelectrons build upinone place, they cancreate an electric current.
The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D
printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jackson's team chose mushrooms for that
surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and
other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the
grocery store and picked upwhitebutton mushrooms.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have
been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent
months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a
program to3D printtheir inkonto thecurved mushroom tops.
The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made
of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also.used a black
ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a
branching pattern across themushroom top.
Then it was time to shine.
“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”says Jackson. When his team shone light on the
mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and
created an electric current.
32.Whatwas theproblem in previous research?
A. Cyanobacteria didn't produce electrons.
B.Cyanobacteriacouldn't get enoughlight.
C.Theresearchers chosethe wrong bacteria.
D.No suitablehomewas made forcyanobacteria.
33.Whywere mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?
A.They are convenient to find.
B.They can produce electric currents.
C.They are where bacteria cannaturally grow.
D.They can be easily combined with 3Dprinting.
34.Whatis themajorfunction oftheblack ink inthis test?
A.Tofeed bacteria.
B.To deliver electrons.

Homegardens produce delicious food.But that's not theirmain virtue.
Imaginea plate holdingtwo strawberries, identical inappearance. One came out ofa super-
market box, probably harvested unripe. 36 The other was picked from a garden minutes
before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the
second is likely to besweet and rich in flavour.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and
available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in
the same way that hearing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from
listeningto itonan old tape.. 37
Otherpeople, however, believe gardening awaste oftime. But thesamecould be said of
cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own
meals? 38 They mistaketheproduct forthepurpose.
Actually, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration(挫败感).
New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of
taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad.. 39 No matter. The real
joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure — as with cooking, writing,
bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile — is in the work itself.A gardener's

At school, art class is fun. We 41 with different techniques and generally get creative.
However, a field trip to an art gallery is often 42 . Last year my art teacher organized a trip
to an art exhibition. The gallery was full of older people, who obviously didn't want to be
with 43 students. We all got 44 and couldn't stop chatting. Our teacher was getting 45
and kept telling us to bequiet.
The next day we complained to our teacher about the 46 of activities for teens at art
galleries. She 47 that a visit should be both educational and fun. That's when I decided to
go online and look for art galleries that have special 48 for teens. Eventually, I 49 to find
ahuge range ofactivities and proposed someto myteacher.
I also used the 50 to learn about artists. Recently, I found a contemporary artist
called Martin Bailey. I've 51 seen artists who combinedifferent techniques, but Bailey
is totally different. He does unique illustrations with 52 household objects such as
umbrellas, headphones and even cookies. His art is simple, but it makes you see things 53 .
For example, he notices that a flower is similar to a mop(拖把) and puts this 54 into life by

Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favorite
fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was
difficult, but that sometimesshe would give fruit inreturn foran errand(差使)
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a
fierce look answered, staring down at the girls.“We heard …”said Sandy, her voice
shaky,“that you give jobosin payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed
them intothegirls' hands.“Gofill thesewith jobos, and come right back.”
Thegirls raced upthehilltothetree and filled thebaskets with theripest jobos.Back at the
house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy.“Take this bag and one basket of
jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,”the lady added with a tight
smile.“If you return without thepayment, you won't get thefruit.”

Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard.
Thegirls handed her thefood."This isfrom thelady with thejobo tree,"said Sandy.
“Sheasked forthe payment, too.”Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!”The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands
happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a
large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said
goodbye and left quickly.“I wonder,”Sandy murmured,“whether Mrs. Brown can afford to
pay for that food.”
