Try Making Them into Treats
It’s fine to shop at farmers’ markets and grocery stores for recipe ingredients（原料）. But what if you could
gather some of them by yourselves, and at the same time, help rid your region of non-native plant species that are
harming the ecosystems?
According to the National Wildlife Federation, about 42 percent of today’s threatened or endangered species
are at risk because of invasive（有侵略性的）species. Here are four invasive plants and ideas for serving them up.
KUDZU
Brought to the US from Japan, the kudau vine can grow a foot a day, robbing other plants of sunlight. Its
beautiful flowers bloom from July to September, but its leaves, roots, and vine tips are more readily available. Pick
flowers to use in making drinks.
HIMALAYAN BLACKBERRY
Native to Armenia, the plant has threatened other species. It blocks access through woods and affects
livestock. Its fruit starts to ripen in midsummer and the berries can be added to hake goods such as muffins.
SOW THISTLE
Its roots crowd out useful crops and suck water and nitrogen from the soil. Native to Europe and western Asia
,
it grows all over North America in spring and summer. Try coking the leaves in olive oil and adding them to a
cake.
WATERCRESS
European settlers brought this leafy green to the Colonies. It spreads along waterways, crowding out native
plants.
Harvest it from the edge of a running stream in spring and fall to make sandwiches.
1. Which species will you choose if you want to make drinks?

The Mogao Grottoes were a center of Buddhist life and some of the world’s great cultures for hundreds of
years. However, by the late Qing Dynasty they had been abandoned and nearly forgotten and many of the caves had
become damaged by the elements. Around 1900, with the discovery of a library of thousands of ancient documents,
the caves received new interest from Chinese and foreign researchers. Unfortunately, this resulted in tens of
thousands of items from the caves being taken to foreign museums
In the 1940s many researchers and artists visited the area to study traditional Chinese art. Copies of some of
,
the artwork painted by respected artists such as Zhang Daqian and GuanShanyue helped people all over the country
learn about Dunhuang. These artists were also inspired by the artwork they saw in the caves and it began to
influence their painting styles. Others staved in the desert for much longer, Chang Shuhong stayed for the rest of
his life — struggling to record the cultural treasures and protect them from the weather. As a result of their efforts
the Dunhuang Academy was formed to protect and study the Mogao Grottoes.
In 1987 the Mogao Grottoes were named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the caves are open to the
,
public, access is now limited in order to protect the artwork. However, the caves can be seen online in digital form
so that people around the world can study and enjoy them.
Despite its remoteness, the Mogao Grottoes continue to draw visitors. And just as the sand and desert have
survived largely unchanged through the centuries, this small art gallery in the desert has also survived largely
unchanged providing an amazing look at a world long ago past.

Scientists have uncovered a series of 3,000-year-old items at Sanxingdui in China’s Sichuan province since
2019 and identified that the creators belonged to the Shu state, a highly developed civilization united by the
neighboring state of Qin in 316 BC.
One of the major finds is a 0. 6-pound gold mask that may have been worn by a churchman during religious
ceremonies. About 84% pure gold, the whole piece likely weighed close to one pound in its entirety, making it one
of the heaviest gold masks from that time period discovered in China to date.
Other discoveries made at the site included two kinds of silk. Silk has played an important role in China’s
history. As the researchers point out, the ancient people of Sanxingdui probably wore silk clothes during religious
ceremonies. The silk was thought to serve as a means of communication between heaven, earth, man and god.
Besides these religious ceremonies, silk was also used to make fine clothing, fans and wall hangings. Civilizations
across the ancient world, from Rome, Persia, Egypt to Greece, similarly treasured Chinese silk. Traders were sent
along the Silk Road to China to obtain the highly sought-after material. The presence of silk at Sanxingdui indicates
that the ancient Shu state was one of the important origins of silk in ancient China.
Other important discoveries included bronze animals and carvings that bear distinct similarities to objects
found along the Yangtze River and in Southeast Asia, suggesting that the Shu civilization engaged in broad
exchanges with many areas.
Since 1929 when a local farmer accidentally found Sanxingdui, researchers have uncovered more than 50,000
ancient items at the site. For example, more than 1,000 items, including well-kept bronze masks, were unearthed in
1986 alone.
8. What can we say about the gold mask found at Sanxingdui?
A. It is not made of pure gold. B. It is the heaviest ever uncovered.
C. It weighs close to one pound. D. It might be used during festivals.
9. What can the presence of silk at Sanxingdui probably tell us?
A. The Shu people used silk just for decoration.
B. The Shu people brought silk to the other countries.
C. The Shu state was far more developed than Europe.
D. The Shu state might be one of the earliest silk producers.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The discoverer of Sanxingdui. B. The timeline of the discoveries at Sanxingdui.
C. The long history of Sanxingdui. D. The achievements of Sanxingdui unearthing.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote an attraction in Sichuan province. B. To report the important discoveries at Sanxingdui.
C. To explore the relationship between Shu and Qin. D. To evaluate the ancient civilizations in the world.
D
Earth’s oceans are changing color and climate breakdown is probably to blame, according to a research. The
deep blue sea is actually becoming steadily greener over time, according to the study, with areas in the low
latitudes(纬度)near the equator especially affected.
“The reason why we care about this is not that we care about the color, but that the color is a reflection of the
changes in the state of the ecosystem,” said BB Cael, a scientist and author of the study published in Nature.
The previous research focused on changes in the greenness of the ocean to learn about trends in the changing
climate. But Cael’s team pored over 20 years of observations by NASA’s Modis-Aqua satellite, a comprehensive
database, and looked for patterns of change in the ocean’s color through a fuller color spectrum(色谱)including red
and blue.
The changes have been detected in over 56% of the world’s oceans. In most areas there’s a clear “greening
effect”, Cael said, but he added that there are also places where red or blue colorings are rising or falling. “These
are not massive ecosystem-destroying changes. They may be mild,” said Cael. “But this gives us an additional
piece of evidence that human activity is likely affecting large parts of the global biosphere(生物圈)in a way that we
haven’t been able to understand. ”
Although this discovery firmly documents another consequence of a changing climate, what is not yet clear is
how strong these changes are and what is happening inside the ocean to cause them, according to Michael J
Behrenfeld, a researcher of ocean productivity, who was not involved in the research.
NASA will be launching an advanced satellite mission in January 2024 called Pace which will also measure
hundreds of colors in the ocean instead of a handful, progressing studies like these further. “Making more
meaningful inferences about what the changes actually are is definitely a big next step,” said Cael.
12. Why should attention be drawn to the changing color of oceans?
A. It reflects ecosystem changes.
B. It causes climate breakdown.
C. Human activities are affected.
D. Low latitude areas are influenced.
13. What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Copied. B. Covered. C. Studied. D. Borrowed.
14. What is Michael’s attitude towards the discovery?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Pace’s function.
B. Cael’s suggestions.
C. Meaningful inferences.
D. NASA’s further research plans.

Molly and her husband Rex ran a used bookstore in a small town. People, mostly kids, came here to read
books, sell books and buy books. The morning had been full of rain, and passers-by were walking with narrow eyes
under umbrellas. Molly rested both her hands on the counter and leaned（倾斜）forward to watch the world
outside in the rain while Rex was busy sorting out books on the bookshelves. Rick, who sat on the floor burying
himself in reading a hardback illustrated book, was the only customer in such a rainy day. Rick was a regular
customer to the bookstore and he never sold a book or bought a book. He just read books.
“Can you keep this book for me?” Molly heard a shy voice and looked down to find it was little Rick that
stood before the counter, holding the illustrated book and asked.
“Sure!” Molly nodded encouragingly. But the uncertainty remained on Rick’s face. “I’ll be back really soon.
Promise. Tomorrow if I can.” Molly nodded to him as seriously as she was treating an adult. Molly wanted to ask
him if there was anything difficult, but she kept silent. Anyway, she put the illustrated book in a drawer in case
anyone else would take it. Most of the secondhand books in her store were unique. If it was sold, she would fail to
keep her promise.
Rick didn’t return the following day, or the day after that. Molly was somehow disappointed. Rex suggested
placing the illustrated book on the bookshelf so that others could read it or take it. In Rex’s opinion, children made
promises all the time and they promised all kinds of things. When they came to a store and was attracted by
something, they promised to come back and they asked the shopkeeper not to let anyone else take the things they
wanted away. It happened all the time.

1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

But Molly insisted that they should wait and keep the book.
