On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup
talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef
Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This was something Musk
thought about a lot-how he might make a difference to the food industry-but beyond ex-
panding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn't yet broken the
code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope （坡） and fell over, breaking his neck.
The left side of his body was paralyzed.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his
back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched
an initiative to put "learning gardens" in public schools across America; attracted Generation
Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-
round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home
gardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired
by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity
have been at the forefront of so many people's lives. "We were getting a lot of inquiries
about gardening from people that had never gardened before, "says Musk. "People were
looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to supplement their budget, to improve the nutri-
tional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown. "
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will
be distributed through schools that Musk's non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered
5 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and
materials for the changing growing seasons. "I grew up in the projects when I was young,
in what we now call food deserts, "says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have
teamed up with the organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. "What I
love about this is that it's not difficult. We are all able to grow something. "
24. What inspired Musk to be devoted to food industry?
A. An accident. B. Jamie Oliver's speech.
C. The pandemic. D. The farm-to-table movement.
25. What can we learn about the Million Gardens Movement?
A. It has mainly attracted young generations.
B. It has just accomplished its target.
C. It may be stimulated by a lack of food security.
D. It increases economic burdens for the poor.
26. Which of the following best describes Musk?
A. Charitable. B. Honest. C. Flexible. D. Strict.
27. Why is EVE taken as an example?
A. To demonstrate the program to be non-profit.
B. To share his experience in a food desert.
C. To encourage people to start a free garden.
D. To clarify the reason why he loves a garden.

Dutch researchers have discovered that birds living in cities are using metal spikes （尖
刺） to. build their nests. People put these spikes on buildings in order to keep birds off
their balconies, benches, and chimneys, but birds seem to be stealing them and using them to
keep people away from their eggs.
The research began when, in the courtyard of a hospital in Antwerp, Belgium, biologist
AukeFlorian Hiemstra found a large nest that had been built by a magpie （喜鹊）. The
nest was made from about 1, 500 metal spikes. They were pointing outward to create a
protective system around the nest.
6 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司"I just stared at it, this strange, beautiful, weird nest, "Hiemstra told BBC News. When
he investigated further, he found that magpies had moved away nearly 165 feet of metal
spikes that had been glued to the hospital's roof.
After Hiemstra made this discovery, his team heard about a similar nest created by
crows in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, and another magpie nest in Glasgow, Scotland. The
crows had positioned the spikes in a different way, perhaps using the metal to support the
nest's structure.
In their report, the researchers mention many kinds of birds moving spikes off build-
ings, but they chose to focus their study on corvids （birds from the crow family）. The
researchers pointed out that there have been previous studies on how corvids use everything
from telephone wires to clothes hangers to build their nests. They said the use of anti-bird
spikes "hints at a functional use"-meaning the birds seem to know exactly what they're do-
ing.
Magpies have often been seen nesting in thorny （多刺的） places, where the thorns
can prevent people from attacking the small eggs and chicks inside the nest. Thorny hedges
aren't common in cities, however, so the theory is that magpies use the human-made ver-
sion instead. Hiemstra calls this the birds' "revenge". "We're trying to get rid of birds, but the
birds are collecting our metal spikes and actually making more birds in these nests, "he
said.
28. Why are metal spikes put on buildings?
A. To draw birds' attention to the nest. B. To prevent strangers entering.
C. To keep birds off the buildings. D. To make the buildings more beauti-
ful.
29. Magpies use metal spikes to build nests ___.
A. to protect their eggs and chicks B. to decorate their nests
C. to provide a strong hold D. to support the structure of the nests
30. What does Hiemstra think of birds' collecting metal spikes?
A. Disappointing. B. Appreciative. C. Confusing. D. Indifferent.
31. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new species of bird that has adapted to city life.
7 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. To compare different nesting habits of birds in urban environments.
C. To emphasize the negative impact of human activities on bird habitats.
D. To inform readers about birds using metal spikes to build nests in cities.

There was a point in time when the solar industry was considered dead money. It was
too expensive, too inefficient, and too inconsistent to be a viable （切实可行的） alterna-
tive energy source for really anything, let alone your home or office.
But those days are long gone.
Solar energy costs have dropped more than 70% over the past 10 years, and are now
cheaper than fossil fuels in most parts of the United States. Better yet, the drivers of these
cost declines-economies of scale （规模经济） and technological improvements - are
durable （耐久的）， and therefore, solar is only going to get even cheaper. Indeed, these
forces are so powerful in the solar industry that they have their own law - Swanson's Law
- which states that the price of solar modules （模块） decreases by about 20% for every
doubling in global solar capacity.
Meanwhile, solar panels have become very efficient at transforming light from the sun
into usable energy. Back in 1992, researchers at the University of South Florida made a thin-
film solar cell with 15. 9% efficiency-and that was considered a breakthrough at the time.
These days, though, your average silicon solar cells' efficiency rate is around 20%.
That's standard. And some research efforts have even managed to achieve near 50% effi-
ciency in certain lab tests.
At the same time, these solar systems have become dramatically more consistent. One
of the biggest hurdles for solar in the early 2000s was its intermittency-the sun doesn't
shine every day, so what do you do when its cloudy?
Well, that's why the clean energy industry has developed energy storage solutions,
which are basically just big batteries that homeowners and office building managers can
install on-site and link to their 'solar panels to store excess （过度的） solar power on
super sunny days, and use that power on cloudy days.
Cheapest. Most efficient. Most consistent. That's a powerful combination. No wonder
solar industry has accounted for 58% of all new energy capacity additions so far in 2021
8 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司and is only going to get stronger and more active over the next 10 years-to a point where,
by 2030, I wouldn't be surprised to see solar industry accounting for 90%+ of all new en-
ergy capacity additions.
32. Which of the following is closely related to solar energy costs according to the
Swanson's Law?
A. Technological improvements. B. The efficiency.
C. Economic growth. D. The capacity.
33. Why have the energy storage solutions been developed?
A. To lower the solar panel costs. B. To ensure consistent power supply.
C. To reduce solar energy waste. D. To generate electricity on cloudy
days.
34. What is the author's attitude towards the future of the solar industry?
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Advantages the Solar Energy Has?
B. How We Humans Can Fully Use the Solar energy?
C. Why the Solar Industry Is the Future of Earth's Energy?
D. When the Solar Industry Will Become Our New Energy Capacity Additions?

The things we're passionate about bring us joy and light us up from within-but if
you're not sure what your passion is, 36 . The good news is, even if you haven't
found it just yet, it is possible to uncover your true passion at any time in your life, with
a little attention and introspection （反省）. Here are our top tips for pinpointing your pas-
sions.
Cultivate more self-awareness.
9 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司37 . "Self-awareness is an important step to figuring out your passion, " Spinelli
says. She suggests asking yourself the following questions in order to figure out patterns or
themes that could lead you to your passion.
What kinds of things bring me joy?
How do I feel when I do those activities?
What are things I love to do?
What are my values and beliefs?
What might be my limiting beliefs that could stop me from figuring out my passion?
What are my strengths?

and expecting a different result. So, if you're operating the same way every day and find-
ing you're not able to discover your passion, something clearly needs to change! In this case,
Spinelli says you'll want to explore areas that may be outside of your comfort zone and
include those in your routines- 3 9 .
Think about what makes you special
No one else has your personality and your unique combination of talents, wisdom,
strengths, skills, and creativity. Identifying what sets you apart and what comes easily and

The traditional Chinese lunar year divides the year into 24 solar terms. On the first
day of Winter Solstice （冬至） , the Northern Hemisphere （半球） experiences the short
day in the year, with the sun at its weakest point. The Winter Solstice also marks with the
arrival of the coldest season in the year, brought with it a chill that can be felt in the air.

Festival. "As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people worshipped （崇拜） nature on the first
day of the Winter Solstice, what was also the first day of the new year. The Winter Sol-
stice becomes a winter festival during the Han Dynasty. Celebrations were official orga-
