26、   What do you do with the things you love? You probably take care of them and keep them safe. That’s not what Cameron Payne does. The boy from North Carolina is sharing his love of books by giving them away.

When Cameron heard about a family who lost everything in a house fire. He was looking for a way to help them. He was sad that all of their books were destroyed. That’s when he created his program, which gives books away to people in need.

Cameron’s program collects books for young people of all ages and reading levels. He collects books for kids who are blind or with low vision, too, because he wants everyone to have books. Cameron knows that books can help kids think about their future. They do this by helping kids dream about what they might be when they grow up. Learning about new things can give kids new interests. Six years later, Cameron is still giving away books.

Many of the books he gives away were given to him by others, but Cameron’s grandmother also shops for books that don’t cost a lot. She buys books that are new or that look new. In addition to working with schools, Cameron and his grandmother give books to children in places near their home, such as hospitals, libraries, and day camps.

Cameron wants to keep his program going and growing. Over the past six years, he has given away more than 3,000 books. He has also won many prizes for his work. His program has grown over the years, too. Last Christmas, Cameron was able to give away toys and books.

27、In the live-streaming (直播) channel of Yang Weiyun, no singing or dancing is performed nor are products sold. Yang teaches pinyin, reading and writing, something that has been most familiar to her for the past 50 years. The difference is her students are mostly adults.

The 73-year-old comes from Huainan city of Anhui province and is an experienced educator. She had been a Chinese teacher in an elementary school for 50 years. In retirement, Yang also wanted to do something meaningful. The rise of short video platforms gave her the idea of continuing her education attempt through live-streaming online. The retiree opened her live-streaming account in May 2021 and offered free pinyin courses designed for kindergarten pupils about to attend primary schools. However, she gradually learned among her viewers there are a lot of illiterate (文盲) adults.

Yang said she found many illiterate adults develop a sense of lack of confidence. They are afraid to go to new places, worried that they couldn’t teach their children or read their boss’s instructions. So, she added targeted content to meet their needs. “Many illiterate adults didn’t have the chance to go to school when they were young. They are the ones in urgent need of becoming literate. I wanted to give them a new starting point,” Yang said.

According to the seventh national census (人口普查) carried out last year, there are 38 million illiterate adults in China. Yang’s live-streaming channel offers an easy and private way for those who want to overcome adult illiteracy.

Yang said students learning through her live-streaming channel each have their own demands. So she always prepares her classes carefully after concluding a live-streaming session. She has tried her best to figure out what ways the students can learn and remember better, and her biggest wish now is to see these students graduate from her classes.

【1】What’s Yang’s original purpose when she attempted teaching online?

A．To teach retired adults Chinese.

B．To spread Chinese character culture.

C．To teach kids before primary school.

D．To sell products in her live-streaming channel.

【2】Why does Yang’s live-streaming class become a hit among adults?

A．She was an experienced and respectable teacher.

B．Many people believe her classes are beneficial for their children.

C．Her class is vivid and lively with singing or dancing performance.

D．Many illiterate adults can learn Chinese in an easy and private way in her class.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Yang?

A．Devoted and helpful.

B．Caring and brave.

C．Warm-hearted and strict.

D．Persistent and honest.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

D．It’s never too late to teach.

28、The researchers say they have discovered two huge magma chambers (岩浆库) under Wei Mountain in Heilongjiang. If it is true, it will be a surprising discovery since the volcano last erupted over 500,000 years ago.

Zhang Haijiang and his team visited nearly 100 sites across Wei Mountain. They were looking for magma, and they found an unusual signal from 15km underground, followed by another one at 8km. Their computer modelling suggested there could be two huge magma chambers with a depth of more than 9km. According to their research, 15 percent of the upper chamber is now filled with molten (熔化的) rock. Some studies have suggested that a volcanic eruption could take place when a chamber is filled to 40 percent magma.

They suggested that the volcanic activity in northeast China is likely to be in an active stage, and the active volcanic monitoring is needed to further understand the magma system in this area.

Xu Jiandong, director of the volcanic research, said seismic (地震的) stations had been monitoring this area for many years. "If there are really huge magma chambers in the area, we should have found some related seismic activities—When the lower chamber fills the upper one, there should be some movement," he said. "But so far, after decades of monitoring on the site, we've picked up almost nothing. The whole area has been very, very quiet," he added.

So did the researchers really find huge magma chambers? While the unusual signals found by Zhang's team looked like magma chambers, they could also have been caused by other things.

But what is for sure is that the area is active. It's like porridge boiling in a pot. But since the studies in recent years have suggested a low risk of immediate eruption in the area, the government has not set up seismic stations around. And it is certain that they aren't prepared for a big eruption over there.

【1】What do Zhang Haijiang and his team say they've found under Wei Mountain?

A．Lots of frozen rocks.

B．Two magma chambers.

C．Nearly 100 volcanic sites.

D．A huge magma system.

【2】What do we learn from Xu Jiandong's words?

A．They don't find any seismic activities.

B．The active volcanic monitoring is needed.

C．Their efforts to monitor volcanoes are useless.

D．Volcanic eruptions never happened in this area.

【3】What does the underlined word "they" in paragraph 5 refer to?

A．Volcanic eruptions.

B．Zhang's team members.

C．The seismic stations.

D．The unusual signals.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．What Can Cause Volcanoes to Erupt in Northeast China?

B．Is Chinese Government Ready for Volcanic Eruptions?

C．Are There Magma Chambers Under Wei Mountain?

D．Is Active Volcanic Monitoring Needed in China?

29、Some of the world’s best Coffea arabica is grown on Mount Kenya. This variety of the plant produces beans that are tastier than those from its poor cousin, Coffea canephora (known as robusta), which often ends up in instant coffee (速溶咖啡). However, global warming may reduce the total area that is most suited to growing arabica beans by about half by 2050.

Some farmers are trying to adapt to warming by moving uphill. Yet this pushes them into areas long used for growing tea. Not only is there less space higher up; the move stresses how warming also threatens to harm the tea crop, which supports about 10% of Kenya’s population. Warmer weather will push tea itself higher up area.

Kenya’s government-funded Coffee Research Institute is trying to find other ways of helping farmers adapt, such as encouraging them to plant trees to shade their coffee bushes, or to grow hardier (适应性更强) robusta plants. It is also trying to plant a hybrid, Arabusta, which would combine the hardiness of robusta with the flavour of arabica. Coffee snobs may turn up their noses at it, but they may have no other choices.

However, such adaptations may bring social costs. Many smallholder farmers are at risk of being pushed out of the industry altogether because they cannot afford the money needed to protect their crops.

Another option may be entirely new varieties. Researchers in London are studying a wild type of coffee, Coffea stenophylla. It is delicious and can also take the heat. But it produces lower harvest than existing varieties and it may be years before it is widely grown. Without a breakthrough of some sort, caffeine addicts may face a future too unpleasant to imagine. “If we don’t have the innovation (创新) to respond to climate challenges,” Vern Long of World Coffee Research says, “we’re just going to be drinking man-made coffee.”

【1】In what way is Coffea arabica better than Coffea robusta?

A．Flavor.

B．Harvest.

C．Hardiness.

D．Sales.

【2】What does the underlined “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?

A．Robusta.

B．Arabica.

C．Arabusta.

D．Stenophylla.

【3】What might be the impact of the government’s policy?

A．Good money will be brought in.

B．The areas of tea crop will be reduced.

C．The cost of coffee-planting may drop.

D．Smallholder coffee farmers may disappear.

【4】What’s the purpose of this text?

A．To give suggestions to coffee farmers.

B．To recommend new varieties of coffee.

C．To introduce coffee industry under threat.

D．To list possible solutions to climate changes.
