26、In 2019, a NASA satellite map with dark and light green colors showed the world that China is leading the increase in greening on Earth’s land area because of national tree-planting programs.
【1】over 45 percent of China’s land is covered with deserts and sandy soil, way bigger than China’s arable land (可耕地) which is nearly 10 percent of the total arable land in the world, but supports over 20 percent of the world’s population
March 12 marks China’s Tree Planting Day.【2】. At the time, a forestry expert suggested designating (定义) the Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, as the National Tree Planting Day. After the death of Sun Yat-sen on March 12, 1925, the National Tree Planting Day was changed to fall on March 12 to remember Sun’s support for national afforestation (植树造林).
Since the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, the Chinese government has continued to use the day to honor Sun’s contribution to the country.【3】
In 2019,a research team of Boston University found that the global green leaf area has increased by five percent since the early 2000s. 【4】 , they thought it was because of a “warmer, wetter climate and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere”. But with a two-decade-long data (数据) record from NASA, they see that humans are contributing.【5】.
In 2021,China planted 3.6 million hectares of forest and changed 380,800 hectares of farmland into forest. The country plans to plant 6.4 million hectares of trees and grass this year.
A.Chinese people like planting trees
B.When they first noticed the difference
C.Unfamiliar to many, the tradition dates back to 1915
D.And Chinese people voluntarily planted over 64 billion trees from 1982 to 2012
E.Trees play a very important role in protecting the environment
F.The data shows that at least 25 percent of that gain came from China
G.A surprising fact is that though covering about 9.6 million square kilometers of land
27、Dust on furniture may be bad news for waistlines (腰围). But it’s far too early to add dusting to a weight-loss plan. Dietary fats and other materials that make up indoor dust can send a signal to human fat cells, telling them to grow. That process, in turn, might slow the body’s rate of burning energy. Such changes could add to any weight problems a person might have.
“We don’t know what that means to long-term health and certain diseases yet,” says Heather Stapleton, one of the study’s authors. But she notes that her team’s findings also raise a question of whether pollutants in dust might play some role in the growing, global problem of obesity (肥胖).
Stapleton and her colleagues collected dust from homes and offices. Studies found that some materials in the dust could turn on a protein (蛋白质) called PPAR-gamma 1. It’s found in many human tissues. Turning this protein on can cause fat cells to grow. Researchers think this protein may be involved in obesity. But a second study now finds evidence that certain fats are mostly to blame. Cooking oils may send out some of these fats into the air, where they eventually find their way into house dust. Or, the authors say, the fats might enter house dust as part of the hair or skin cells shed (脱落) by people or pets.
“While the findings are amazing,” says Mitchell Lazar, another study author, “these findings need to be taken as very limited.” Indeed, he adds several cautions about how the findings should be understood. “For one thing, people eat these fats in foods all of the time. That is likely to be a lot more than would be consumed from indoor dust,” he said.
【1】What do we know about PPAR-gamma 1? _____
A. It comes from dust.
B. It leads to weight gain.
C. It can help get rid of dust.
D. It only appears in human bodies.
【2】 What’s the best title for the text? _____
A. Can house dust make us fat?
B. Why is it important to clean?
C. Anything to do to deal with dust?
D. What is the best way to lose weight?
28、Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That dream nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill was in a car accident that put her in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed. For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to think a lot of her life and she wanted to prove that she was still “normal”.
“Normal” for her meant dancing. With half of her body taken away, Hill had to move it with hands. It took a lot of learning and patience, but she still made it in her wheelchair with her non-disabled high school dance team.
After graduation from high school in California, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met online the women who had suffered various back injuries but shared the same determination with her.
Hoping to reach more people in a larger city and break down the false belief of wheelchair users, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014, formed a team of dancers with disabilities and named it the Rollettes. As she always believes, dancing on wheels can be just as good as foot based dance.
In disabled dance competitions, all dancers from her team gave great performances and they were having fun. And the audience's cheers, whistles and applause suggested that the fun was spreading.
Hill has achieved what many of us never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes has helped her find something else just as satisfying. Every year she holds a dance camp, the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users of all ages, to help them find their inner heroines. In 2019, over 173 women from ten countries attended the Rollettes Experience. For most of these women, it was the first time they had felt they belonged. Edna Serrano told a reporter that being part of the Rollettes team challenged her to be more independent. “It even gives me the courage to take up driving.” she said.
【1】What do we know about Hill from paragraph 1?
A.Her dream was ended in a car accident.
B.Her wheelchair was a barrier for her.
C.She still wanted to become a dancer.
D.She was paralyzed because of severe illness.
【2】What can be inferred about the Rollettes?
A.It was founded in Hill's hometown.
B.It helped many disabled people like Hill.
C.It included normal and disabled dancers.
D.It aimed to take part in dance competitions.
【3】Why does Hill hold the Rollettes Experience every year?
A.To realize her childhood dream.
B.To encourage the disabled to drive.
C.To become the heroine of wheelchair dancers.
D.To build confidence in more wheelchair users.
【4】Which words best describe Hill?
A.Smart and skillful.
B.Honest and patient.
C.Brave and humorous.
D.Caring and determined.
【5】What is the best title for the text?
A.Dancing in Wheelchairs

29、Many people agree that our lives have been changed by the Internet, but I have recently realized that I live nearly my entire life online!
【1】 I usually have messages from friends or family, and I always reply right away. Then I open my favorite online radio station and listen to music while I get ready for school. While I'm eating breakfast, I often read news articles online. On my way to school, I usually wear my earphones so I can listen to an English podcast(播客)with interesting talks about many different topics. 【2】
At lunch, I like to check some online forums(论坛)about topics I'm interested in, such as pop music and TV shows. I read the updated posts from other forum members and post my own thoughts. 【3】 It's also a good way to connect with others who share the same interests as me. On the way home from school, I almost always play with one of the many learning apps on my phone.
After dinner, I start my homework, and that often means going online to do research. My history teacher, my Chinese literature teacher, and my English teacher all often give homework. 【4】 So I'm nearly always online in the evening, reading online resources(资源)for my homework.
My final thing to do every day is to listen to an audio(有声的)book online before I go to sleep! 【5】 However, I don't like to look at a screen just before bedtime, so audio books are the perfect thing for me. It's a great way to help fall asleep.

30、When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor_________ me to do so. She said, “To travel around the world can _________ your knowledge through actual experiences and make you have fun.” I _________ her.
Since I started to work for a _________ company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. With the help of the Internet, I have seen the _________of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business _________ , too. I have also got _________ about food in different countries.
Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were _________ necessary until I happened to read a famous chef’s(厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “When we enjoy food and the _________ around us at the same time, why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian ____________?” Those words reminded me of my ____________ advice. As information technology ____________, you might be able to do it without making a real trip. But this also means that you will miss the various ____________ you can get from traveling.
Today there are people who ____________ direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people ____________ not with each other but into their microphones. It seems as if such people are ____________ by an invisible(无形的) wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to ____________ and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily ____________ more fruitful. However, we should never let it ____________ our time for face-to-face communication.
