Bird populations in the UK continue to crash, new data shows, as campaigners predict the government will fail to meet its own nature targets unless thorough changes are made. In 2021, on average the quantity of 130 breeding (繁殖) species was 12% below its 1970 value. Between 2015 and 2020, 24% species increased, 28% showed little change and 48% declined. Wildlife experts agree that the decline in bird populations is largely driven by habitat loss.
The government passed the Environment Act into law in 2021 , which requires a halt in species decline by 2030. Campaigners have said that complete changes to government policy are needed if it is to meet its targets. The problems were highlighted by the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch this year, in which house sparrows remained the most frequently observed species in gardens for the20th year in a row.
“The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the astonishing declines of some of our once common birds," said Beccy Speight, the RSPB's chief executive, “We are in a nature and climate emergency and we've lost 38 million birds from our skies in the past 50 years.” This year, more than 500,000 people took part in the Big Garden Birdwatch, and more than 9 million birds were spotted. The results also identified problems faced by other common bird species, including chaffinches and greenfinches.
Richard Benwell, the chief executive of the environmental league Wildlife and Countryside Link, said: “Meeting the legal target to stop wildlife losses by the end of the next parliament (议会)can't be achieved with a legal adjustment here and some spare changes there. Serious, sustained investment, proper punishment for pollution, and action in every department of government must bethe features of any nature-positive manifesto (宣言).”
24. According to the text, what is the main cause of bird population decline in the UK
A. Climate change. B.Habitat loss. C. pollution. D. Hunting.
25. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Adjustment. B. Instruction. C. stop. D. Promotion.
26. Which bird species has been seen the most regularly in UK gardens during the past 20 years
A. House sparrows. B. Chaffinches. C. Greenfinches. D. Breeding birds.
27. Why does the author quote Richard Benwell's words in the last paragraph
A. To point out the ways to meet the nature target.
B. To stress the importance of setting specific goals.
C. To remind the next parliament to make new laws.
D. To prove the government's failure in bird protection.
C
Today China is the world's biggest consumer of wheat. But it wasn't always that way.
Wheat only came to the area now known as norther China toward the end of the Neolithic (新石器时代的) period, some 4,600 years ago. Initially, wheat didn't seem to be so delicious and had been treated as a crop of desperation rather than a cooking delight. The first farmers of northern China primarily grew millet, starting as early as 1l,500 years ago. By the time of the Tang dynasty, wheat had replaced millet (小米), becoming a major crop. But relatively little was known about exactly why this shift occurred.
In an attempt to track the answer, I accumulated a collection of nearly 1,200 data points covering more than 50 sites from the mid-Neolithic, about 9,000 years ago, to the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty in 220 AD. The sites were across eight modern provinces, ranging from Gansu province in the northwest to Shandong province in the east.
One possible explanation is a major climate shift, called the Holocene Event 3 (全新世事件3), which happened 4,000 to 4,500 years ago, At that time, the climate became colder and drier across continents, causing damage to crop production.
On top of this, the late Neolithic period was also a time of rapid population growth around the world. With an ever-increasing population and unsteady crop production, it is reasonable to assume that Neolithic farmers in northern China were struggling.
Wheat, it turns out, actually needs more water than millet, making it seem a poor choice for a dry period of history. But importantly, it can be sowed after millet has been harvested. That, we think, is the most likely reason why the people across northern China started to grow wheat.
From more extreme weather to changing coastlines, climate change has always brought unexpected and sometimes dramatic changes to societies. In this instance, the consequence of the Holocene Event 3 in northern China proved, eventually, delicious.
28. What can we learn about wheat from the second paragraph
A. It replaced millet for its great taste. B. It was a poor choice at the beginning.
It outnumbered millet 4,600 years ago. D. It was the earliest crop grown in China.
29. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show
A. The author found the exact answer. B. The author did worldwide research.
C. The author took the research seriously. D. The author was good at collecting data.
30. What was probably the main reason for northerners in China to grow wheat
A. The water supply was enough then.
B. The harvest of millet was not satisfying.
C. It adjusted to the weather conditions better.
D. It had an alternative sowing season with millet.
31. What does the text mainly talk about
A. How millet was introduced to China.
B. Why Chinese farmers switched to wheat.
C. Why China became the biggest wheat consumer.
D. How China's wheat growth was affected by climate change.
D
Reshaping the world for a fossil ( 化石 ) fuel-free future means working quickly. Climate scientists say carbon emissions (排放) must stop by 2025 to minimize environmental damage. And by designing computational materials together with makers who can build and test them quickly，scientists can rapidly develop technologies like more powerful solar cells and car batteries.
Michael is the name of a supercomputer devoted to just one task --- discovering the ultimate battery system. Researchers at University College London will use Michael to digitally build and test prototypes (原型) in every new material and type of cell possible to improve battery life，performance and price.
Finding a resilient (弹性的) design for solid-state batteries would be a huge breakthrough for electric vehicles and energy storage. Lighter, longer-lasting and cheaper solid-state technology could vastly improve vehicle range and charging time. And the energy from solar and wind power could be more efficiently stored until ready for use.
Scientists working in the US and the UK led the way in the 1970s in developing the lithium-lon (锂离子) battery used in today's electric cars, laptops and cameras. But commercial units were only developed once the Japanese electronics company pushed the technology forward for mass production. Partnerships between companies and universities could ultimately tackle the solid-state battery design. Oxford University and some companies are looking to win the international race to create a durable product. But they are only one among many.
Replacing liquid used in lithium-Ion batteries with a solid conductor (导体) may take large digital processing. Electric vehicle makers are working with a computer company to find successful designs that may include cheap and plentiful materials found in seawater. An electric vehicle maker is partnering with NASA to open a solid-state battery plant that uses no rare or expensive metals. The plan is to create a large database of materials that can be mixed and matched for the best combinations.
But computational materials maybe needed in virtually every industry. And by rapidly classifying millions of substances on their ability to conduct electricity, their toughness, or the way they reflect light, Al and supercomputers can speed up the process of creating materials for just about anything.
32.What message does paragraph 1 convey
A . It's too fast to design computational materials.
B. It's too late to reshape the fossil fuel-free world.
C. Developing green energy can reduce carbon emissions.
D. Developing technology can speed up carbon emissions.
33. What are solid-state batteries expected to be like
A. Heavy and solid. B. Light but breakable.
C. Less-costly and workable. D. Expensive but efficient.
34. Why does the author mention Oxford University in paragraph 4
A. To show the weakness of mass production.
B. To show the good trend of the cooperation.
C. To show the difficulty of the battery design.
D.To show the development of technology led by the UK.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Michael Is Devoted To Storing Solar Energy
B. Companies and NASA Will Push Technology Forward
C. Electric Vehicle Makers Are struggling to Solve Air Pollution
D. Supercomputers and AI Can Create Future Low-Carbon Industries

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Anna's fear of beetles (甲虫) dated back to her childhood. These little insects were always her nightmare (噩梦). So when Ms. Castle assigned topics for the school science fair, the least thing Anna wanted was the beetles. But the paper placed on her desk read --- Science topic; Beetle；Partner: Tali Perkins. Anna couldn't believe her bad luck. Actually, Anna felt great pressure when she was with Tali, the smartest girl in class.
According to Ms. Castle, there were mainly two tasks --- to create a display and to talk about the subject in front of others at the fair. The next day, Tali ran up to Anna and showered her with all sorts of information about beetles and even suggested that they catch live beetles in the park for display. Anna's mouth dropped open at this idea, but Tali walked away before she could say anything.
After an inner battle, Anna felt her feeling also counted, so she sent Tali an email and clearly explained her fear of beetles, hoping dead specimens (标) would be used for the display.
Surprisingly, Tali replied to the email instantly. She apologized for not realizing Anna's panic earlier and shared her fear of speaking in public. “We both have our own fears. But I do think a live beetle can win us extra points. So why don't we help each other, like real partners ” It never occurred to Anna that someone as excellent as Tali could also have fears. Considering there was no better choice, Anna came to accept Tali’s offer.
The following days, Tali prepared Anna with dozens of colorful pictures of beetles to help her get used to them, while Anna helped Tali get over her fear by practising their presentation together.
Although the thought of catching live beetles still seemed scary, Anna finally decided to give it a try and joined Tali to the park.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Armed with a flashlight one night, they found a big fallen tree in the park.
___________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________
Then came the day for Tali and Anna to present their research at the fair.

参考范文：
Armed with a flashlight one night, they found a big fallen tree in the park. Tali asked Anna to focus the flashlight on the tree trunk when she pulled off some bark.There, a prey little beetle, illuminated by the flashlight, came into Anna's view. Tali's gentle guidance and reassuring presence made the task more manageable, and with each beetle they found, Anna's fear lessened. They carefully captured two live bugs and put them in a jar. As they walked out of the park, Anna realized that she had gained not only knowledge about beetles but also a newfound confidence in herself.
Then came the day for Tali and Anna to present their research at the fair. Anna stood next to Tali, holding the beetle jar, no longer afraid. Tali felt quite nervous at first, with her palms sweating and her heart pounding violently against her chest. Thinking of the moments she practiced the talk with Anna, she took a deep breath and began to tell the audience all the facts they'd learned about beetles. Their efforts paid off and the presentation was a huge success. The once-daunting project turned into an experience that helped them triumph over their own lifelong fear and become good friends.
