Tbias Weller is nthing shrt f extrardinary.
At 9-years-ld, he’s dealt with things mst f us wn’t face in ur lifetimes. Simple tasks, like standing n his wn tw feet, are impssible fr him and he requires assistance fr mst activities we cnsider basic. But Just because he’s smene wh needs help, that desn’t mean he can’t give help.
At first Tbias decided t cmplete a spnsred ne-kilmeter walk. But fr sme reasns, the race was canceled, and Tbias’ plans were destryed.
The mment yung Weller learned abut Captain Tm, a 100-year-ld British vet wh has nw raised 41 millin dllars fr charities by walking in his walker, he decided if a century-year-ld man culd walk fr miles, he culd als make it happen.
Frget the ne kilmeter, Tbias was ging t walk a marathn—26.2 miles—in rder t raise mney fr his tw favrite charities. He went up and dwn his street fr mnths. First with 50 meters a day, but as he grew strnger, the distance expanded and eventually he built up t 750 meters a day. It tk him 70 days t crss that finish line, but he did it.
His mther, Ruth Garbutt, presented him with a medal as he crssed the finish line.
She said: “I’m s, s prud f Tbias. I’m bursting with pride fr all he’s achieved and hw hard he’s wrked during the marathn…He culdn’t push the walker at the start f the marathn and nw he can, he can push it n the flat and he’s prved tday he can push it uphill as well.”
Hnestly, just ww. The amunt f pain and extreme tiredness he must have suffered during his walks is unimaginable. But he never stpped, he just kept pushing, and in the end he raised ver $111, 000 fr his charities.
“I’m pleased t raise lads f mney. Other children wh aren’t as lucky as me can benefit frm the mney that’s been raised.” Tbias said.
24. Tbias decided t walk a marathn mainly t ________.
A. challenge himself
B. strengthen his bdy
C. cntribute t charities
D. cmpete with Captain Tm
25. What d we knw abut Tbias’s marathn?
A. It was canceled finally.
B. It lasted mre than tw mnths.
C. Tbias finished it withut a walker.
D. Tbias was awarded the first prize.
26. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Tbias?

C. Curageus and hnest.D. Determined and cperative.
C
Regardless f hw famus they are, and despite the star treatment they receive, many celebrities make it a pint t give back t charities. Sme have even set up their wn private fundatins. Their widely publicised visits t trubled areas f the wrld help t raise awareness f issues such as famine and pverty. Accrding t Jane Cper f Unicef UK, celebrities have a unique ability t reach huge numbers f peple, many f whm might nt therwise be engaged in charitable causes. She pinted ut that famus faces had played a significant rle in raising funds in recent years, and their energies had prduced tangible results, such as enabling millins f children in prer cuntries t attend schl.
But in spite f these successes there is evidence t suggest that celebrity endrsement (代言) may be verrated. In a survey f members f the public t find ut if celebrity invlvement wuld encurage peple t dnate, researchers fund that the impact was nt as great as previusly thught. When shwn a list f well-knwn rganisatins and famus peple wh represent them, ver half f respndents were unable t match the celebrity with the cause. What’s mre, three quarters claimed that they didn’t respnd t celebrity endrsement in any way. The survey als shwed that a few names did stand ut as being assciated with particular charities. But the presence f a celebrity in a campaign, was nt a significant factr when it came t a decisin t dnate time r mney. Instead, the majrity f peple cntribute because f persnal cnnectins in their lives and families which make a charity imprtant t them.
In anther study aimed at yung peple, mst participants cited a cmpelling (无法抗拒的) missin as their main mtivatin t give. The secnd mst imprtant incentive was if a friend r peer recmmended supprting a particular cause. Only tw per cent f respndents said they were mtivated by celebrity endrsement. This seems t cntradict the general assumptin that teenagers are particularly influenced by famus peple. One pssible explanatin is that there is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity culture. There is als a suspicin that the stars are the ne wh benefit mst when they ffer t d charity wrk. Sme critics have accused that celebrities might actually take attentin away frm issues by attracting mre attentin than the causes they represent.
S taking all these issues int accunt, is it time fr charities t rethink their campaign strategies and lk fr alternative ways t reach new audiences? Whichever pint f view yu favur, there seems t be pprtunities fr mre research int hw charity campaigns might develp relatinships with celebrities t maximise their ptential. This in turn will pen up mre engagement, and better targeted campaigns-which can nly benefit thse wh really matter—the peple and animals that are in need f assistance.
27. What des the underlined wrd “tangible” in paragraph I prbably mean?
A. Definite.B. Cmplicated.C. Limited.D. Temprary.
28. Accrding t the passage, mst peple cntribute t charities because ________.
A. they gain benefit frm the charities
B. they are frced t finish a necessary task
C. they believe in the famus peple they like
D. they are inspired by the peple arund them
29. The third paragraph is mainly abut ________.
A. what celebrities achieve in ding charities
B. Hw yung peple react t celebrity culture
C. why yung peple are hardly influenced by celebrities
D. wh is t blame fr taking attentin away frm charities
30. What is the authr's attitude twards celebrity ding charities?

Effective mnitring f endangered species is key t their survival. Studying the mvement, range and habits f wild animals is essential in rder t ensure their habitat remains free frm pachers (偷猎者) and develpment. Traditinal methds f mnitring wild animals, especially large nes, include radi-tagging. T d this, individual animals must at first be captured s that cllars r tags can be fitted.
One rganisatin that adpted this technique was WildTrack. In the late 1990s, the team was using radi-cllars t mnitr black rhin in Namibia. Hwever, the team sn realised that the chemicals used t immbilize the rhin in rder t fit the cllars had a negative impact n female fertility. Nt nly that but a large prprtin f the radi-cllars failed within the first 6 mnths and had t be replaced. Mrever, as animals grew, the cllars wuld tighten, irritating r even hurting the animal. The methd was nt nly expensive, but it was als cunterprductive, as it changed the rhin’s behaviur, thus invalidating (使失效) the data cllected. At the same time, the team was wrking alngside lcal trackers. Animal tracking is ne f the ldest human skills, and these experts had years f experience in identifying individual animals by their ftprints. They culd effectively create a true picture f individual rhins’ activities withut the use f any invasive techniques. Cnsequently, the team were interested t knw whether the trackers’ knwledge culd be successfully translated int an effective, cmputerised technique fr mnitring animal mvement.
Within each species, each individual has its wn unique ft characteristics, in the same way that humans have fingerprints. Thus, if an animal is sighted and identified just nce, and the characteristics f its ftprints prperly phtgraphed and measured, its ftprint can be recgnised whenever it is sighted again. If dne repeatedly, cnservatinists can draw up a database f all, r at least a significant prprtin f the individuals within the ppulatin. After that cnservatinists can use it t identify an animal and its mvements by its print. The data gathered can be used fr a range f purpses, fr example t mnitr bidiversity. WildTrack is currently using ftprint identificatin technlgy in Greece t study the ptential effect f a large highway cnstructin thrugh brwn bear habitat.
Identifying an animal frm its ftprint is nt withut its challenges, hwever, as each time the individual places its ft n the grund, it leaves a slightly different track, accrding t the type f grund it is walking n, misture levels and the way it is mving. In rder t accunt fr these variatins, it is necessary t cllect several tracks frm each individual, including impressins frm all fur feet, n a range f surfaces.
31. Cmpared with radi-cllars, traditinal animal tracking ________.
A. is less accurate
B. csts mre mney
C. has less side effects
D. depends mre n cmputers
32. Accrding t the passage, the ft-print identificatin technlgy ________.
A. needs mre data t run better
B. develps frm radi-cllars
C. has nt been put int practice
D. wrks under certain envirnment
33. What des the passage imply?
A. Technlgy hlds the key t develpment.
B. Traditinal skills make better cnservatinists.
C. Animal tracking sets a new trend in cnservatin.
D. Creativity lies in the cmbinatin f the ld and new.
34. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T present WildTrack’s extrardinary wrk.
B. T prvide a new way f mnitring animals.
C. T cmpare tw different methds f catching animals.
D. T explain hw t identify animals ftprints effectively.

False Memries r Parallel (平行的) Realities?
Here is a cmmn situatin: Yu’re talking with smene abut an event, nly t discver that yu bth remember things quite differently. Usually, yu’d put it dwn t a pr memry, but what if it wasn’t just ne persn wh remembered things differently? What if it was millins?
In fact, this isn’t a “what if” situatin. It’s knwn as the Mandela Effect, and it was first nticed in 2009 by paranrmal researcher Fina Brme. Brme was chatting with peple abut the Suth African activist Nelsn Mandela, and she cmmented hw sad it was that he had died in prisn in the 1980s. 35 Actually, he'd been released in 1990, becme president f Suth Africa, and died in 2013.
Brme was s shcked at this that she started an investigatin. 36 Peple have memries f mvies that never existed, and famus wrds that were never spken. There is even a grup wh clearly recall seeing maps shwing that New Zealand was nrtheast f Australia (it’s sutheast ). S what in the wrld is ging n?
37 In each reality, histry is shaped by different events, and the Mandela Effect ccurs when sme f us shift frm ne reality t anther. Therefre, thse wh remember Nelsn Mandela dying in the 1980s aren’t wrng. They’re just remembering events frm their riginal reality.
Mre likely, hwever, is that the Mandela Effect has t d with hw ur brains stre infrmatin. 38 Many peple remember Pikachu’s tail having a black tip n the end f it, when in fact it was always yellw. “Aha!” yu cry. “Parallel realities!” Prbably nt. Cnsider instead that peple ften ignre unfamiliar details and transfrm infrmatin t make it mre understandable. In the Pikachu example, his tail may nt have a black tip, but his ears certainly d. Thus, bth his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips. 39
All things cnsidered, if yu’re stuck arguing win smene abut whse versin f events is crrect, it may indeed be easier t agree that neither f yu is wrng. Yu just cme frm different realities.
A. Befre we explain let’s lk at an example.
B. It turns ut she wasn’t the nly ne wh’d experienced this.
C. If several peple make these memry errrs, the false memry gets strnger scially.
D. The stry f Nelsn Mandela is nt the nly example f this type f false grup memry.
E. Sme claim the Mandela Effect happens because we live in ne f many parallel realities.
F. Many in her grup agreed, while thers mentined that Nelsn Mandela had nt died in prisn.
G. As mre incidents f the Mandela effect cntinue t ccur, perhaps mre research int the rigins will tell us the causes.

A team f scientists has cme up with a plan hey say culd help rebuild the Arctic ice cap. The ice cap is a huge area f sea ice that cvers mst f the Arctic Ocean all year rund.
Usually, the sea ice gets thicker and spreads further each winter, but this hasn’t happened fr the past few years. Last mnth, the ice cap had shrunk t its smallest size since scientists began keeping recrds f it 38 years ag. The weather in the Arctic has been unusually warm this winter. Sme days, temperatures have been 20℃ higher than is nrmal fr this time f year. In March, the temperature was abve 0℃ at least ne day.
The Arctic ice cap is needed t be rebuilt because sea ice reflects heat and light frm the sun back int space. With less ice, the cean wuld absrb mre heat. The Arctic wuld warm up even mre quickly, and mre ice wuld melt. Withut sea ice, many animals wuld lse their natural habitats and culd becme endangered. It culd als affect the weather, with mre strms and ersin alng the cast.
Dr. Steven Desch and a grup f scientists frm Arizna State University in the United States think they can help t build up Arctic sea ice again. They want t set up wind-pwered pumps n the existing sea ice. During the winter, the pumps wuld spread water frm the cean ver the surface f the ice where it wuld freeze and frm a new layer f ice. The scientists say that in 10 years, this culd add an extra metre f ice t the ice cap.
The plan wuld require abut 10 millin pumps and it wuld be very expensive—abut $655 billin. Sme ther scientists are wndering if the pumps wuld actually wrk in severe Arctic cnditins. They are als cncerned abut hw the prject might affect the envirnment.
Dr. Desch said his team hped their prpsal wuld get mre peple interested in lking fr a slutin t the prblem f melting sea ice. He said the nly plan peple have right nw is t try t reduce greenhuse gas emissins (排放) frm cars and ther man-made surces. He and his team dn’t think that will be enugh t save the sea ice, s they’re ging t wrk n their plan and hpe that it will give everyne a gd start n saving the Arctic ice cap.
41. Why is Arctic ice cap imprtant?
42. What is Dr. Steven Desch’s slutin t the prblem?
43. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Sme scientists were wrried abut the prject and Dr. Desch hped mre peple culd help imprve it.
44. Please briefly present yur wn slutin(s) t the greenhuse gas emissin prblem in yur daily life. (abut 40 wrds)
