Crouching on all fours on Widdybank Fell in Teesdale,Margaret Bradshaw,a 97-year-old
botanist,calls out the names of some rare plants.This part of the uplands is a seemingly empty
landscape,heavily grazed(吃草)by sheep,but it hides botanical treasures that have been here
for more than 10,000 years.Some of the plants can't be found anywhere else in the UK and —
until Bradshaw arrived on the scene—many were unaccounted for.
Bradshaw is the chief caretaker of some of the country's rarest flowers.She has spent
seven decades studying the unique flora(植物群)of Teesdale,in the north of
England.Although once they were widespread in Britain,now only a few remain,and 28
species are threatened with extinction.
Bradshaw has just written a 288-page book on the subject,Teesdale's Special Flora:
Places, Plants and People,published as part of the Princeton Wild Guides series.The Teesdale
fora is celebrated because it is a mix of alpine-arctic(高寒的)flowers and southern European
species;nowhere else in Britain do they all grow together.
Now,though,the area's unique features are under threat.Bradshaw has been recording rare
plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great declines.Since the 1960s, plant
abundance has dropped by 54%on average.Some have essentially disappeared,such as the
dwarf milkwort,down by 98%,and the hoary whitlow-grass,down by 100%.
She says,“We've got various buildings in the country—Stonehenge,Durham Cathedral,
and others;if they were falling apart,there would be groups and money helping stop it,because
people would say we can't let this happen.These flowers' communities are much older,and in
some respects they are more beautiful.
The main reason for the decline of these plants is an unusual one—not enough sheep.
The number of sheep on the areas had been reduced by half by 2000,as the uplands were
generally believed to be overgrazed.Bradshaw says while some upland areas are damaged by
sheep,reducing grazing on Teesdale has been devastating.Longer grass overshadows the
delicate flowers,taking away the light they need to grow.
24.Why is the flora in Teesdale unique?
A.It is site-specific.
B.There is a book about it.
C.It is under strict protection.
D.There are many sheep feeding on it.
25.Why are some buildings mentioned in paragraph 5?
A.To recommend popular tourist attractions.
B.To recognize their historic value.
C.To draw attention to the flora in Teesdale.
D.To praise the conservation efforts.
26.What is the main threat to the flora in Teesdale?
A.Overgrazing in upland areas.
B.Reduced sheep population.
C.Response to climate change.
D.Lack of enough shadows.
27.What does the underlined word“devastating”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Innovative.
B.Satisfying
C.Challenging
D.Destructive
C
Handwriting is a fine motor skill that none of us is born with;it needs to be taught and
practiced.It is also a skill that benefits us by stimulating our brain:We remember information
better when we write it down by hand,research shows.
But for many of us,handwriting can feel difficult as we turn to smartphones,other devices
and even robots for many of our hand tasks.The problem isn't only that we're less likely to use
handwriting.Technology has changed the way we use our hands.The more time we spend on
our devices,the greater the probability of problems with our hands and wrists,such as pain,
weakness and nerve changes.
“The hand-brain connection is stronger when we write something by hand instead of
typing it,”said Paula Heinricher,an occupational therapist.“Although we might be able to take
more notes on a keyboard than by hand,there's research that shows when you write by hand,
there is a deeper brain connection and a deeper understanding,so you remember that
information longer.”
The ability to write quickly and legibly(易辨认地)also has a critical link with academic
performance.A 2013 study found that children who had good handwriting skills in preschool
performed better in reading and math in second grade.And in a 2019 study of 141 first-
graders in four schools in Italy,children who were taught handwriting developed better
reading and writing skills compared with a control group.
But devices aren't the only one to blame.In general,we're not engaging in as many fine
motor activities as in the past.With key less entry,for instance,many of us no longer turn a key
to unlock our car or the front door;instead,we push a button or tap out a code.So handwriting,
a fine motor activity,is becoming a little less used in daily life.However,even as we continue
to use technology and devices,we can enhance our handwriting muscles with a few strategies.
28.What can be learned about handwriting?
A.It is a natural ability.
B.It is practiced less often.
C.It has lost its appeal.
D.It causes nerve changes.
29.Which best describes the impact of handwriting according to Paula Heinricher?
A.Short-lived.
B.Unpredictable.
C.Irresistible.
D.Far-reaching.
30.What do the studies in paragraph 4 imply about handwriting?
A.It contributes to learning.
B.It strengthens students' speaking ability.
C.It improves quickly with training.
D.It is popular among researchers.
31.What might the author continue talking about?
A.Advancements in science and technology.
B.Similar research done by scientists.
C.Significance of excellent handwriting.
D.Measures for improving handwriting.

We have all heard that reducing meat and dairy(乳制品的)consumption is an important
behavioral change that can help with our planet's climate.However,what is a successful
strategy to get people to consume more plant-based food?
Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital has an answer.They pioneered a vegetarian/
vegan option to reduce climate change.Faulkner is among the 60 hospitals, universities,major
companies, and cities that have signed an international pledge(保证)to reduce food-related
greenhouse gas emissions(排放)by 25%by 2030.
The hospital focused on the benefits of the ingredients in the dish rather than mention
“vegan”or“vegetarian”in the name of any dishes on the hospital cafeteria menu.Another
strategy that has been experimented with is the order of foods.For example,putting vegan and
vegetarian foods before the ones containing meat urges the patients to take plant-based foods
first.
Through the research,the hospital has found that vegan and vegetarian labeled foods tend
to categorize foods and attract only a certain number of the hospital's patients.Much like other
labels,vegan and vegetarian foods have been left out of the diets of people who don't have any
dietary restrictions
Although food is only a small percentage of hospital carbon emissions,reducing meat in
cafeteria food will reduce the carbon emissions significantly.Additionally,vegan and
vegetarian diets will help diversify people's diets,increasing their intake of healthful fiber,
vitamins, and other micro-nutrients.Adding fish to their menu in the future is another good
option since it can be sustainably fished.
Since starting the pledge,the hospital has seen a 2.2%decrease in total emissions per
calorie.This result of this strategy matches a similar study from MIT and could change what
we think of plant-based foods
32.What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 1?
A.To make a comparison.
B.To lead in the topic.
C.To provide background information.
D.To introduce a new theory.
33.What aspect of the research is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Its target
B.Its findings
C.Its methods.
D.Its influence.
34.To reduce food-related carbon emissions,one can_
A.limit the food intakeB.change diets frequently
C.avoid fish in the dietD.reduce meat consumption
35.Which is the best title for the text?
A.Do Labels Impact How We Eat?
B.A Tendency Toward Labeled Foods Does Exist
C.Plant-Based Foods—the Best Choice for Your Health
D.Does Going on a Green Diet Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions?

Making decisions,big or small,can sometimes be difficult.We've all experienced
indecisiveness. But you can get better at it with practice and time.Here are a few methods to
try that may help you become more decisive.
Make decisions for yourself
___36___ Ultimately,if you trust your intuition(直觉),you will know what the right
decision is.Nobody else can give you the correct answers on what's best for you.Try not to
allow others to be the decision-maker for you and your goals.
Let things go
The fear that comes with worrying about making thewrongdecisions can make one lose
his common sense.Try not to worry about mistakes.___37___Once you accept that things are
not always in your control,making decisions will be much less threatening.
Talk it out
The simple act of speaking out loud will help lessen indecision and internal conflict.
___38___ Decisions can become less confusing and worrisome when we do so.
Outline the pros and cons
If you get stuck,draft a simple pro-con(支持-反对)list.___39___ Mentally weighing the
pros and cons is simply adding to the indecisiveness.Pro-con lists facilitate objective and
sound decision-making.
Flip a coin
Of course,flipping(掷)a coin shouldn't be used for big decisions,such as marriage.But
this will work if it's something as simple as what to order on the menu.This simple trick
makes the decision for you.And,there are times when the coin lands the wrong way.___40___
A.They're a part of life.
B.A little practice also goes a long way.
C.If it feels right,voice your thoughts out loud.
D.The important thing to remember is to write it down.
E.Decision-making can have a negative impact on self-worth.
F.Asking 10 people about one topic will only confuse you further.
G.Then,your reaction will actually reveal what your stomach truly wants.

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。
Mama notices that there has been a rise in bad manners in the family lately,such as
Sister taking things from Brother without asking,and Brother pushing Sister without saying
Excuse me.It then turns into a shoving(推操)match between the kids,with them calling each
other names and making faces.Their table manners are getting worse,as instead of asking to
pass items across the table,Brother and Sister stuff their mouths with food and use some of it
to engage in a food fight and kick each other from under the table.
Mama tries to coax(用好话劝)the kids,then complains,and finally shouts.She also tries
to ask Papa for help,but he is also part of the problem,as when Papa gets angry at the kids ,he
bangs (猛捶)on the table.Nothing for Mama works,so she decides to take out a big piece of
cardboard and writes out her politeness plan.When she is done,Mama calls a family meeting
and introduces the plan to Papa and the kids:if they do something rude such as forgetting to
say“please”or“thank you”,the punishment is to sweep the floor.Brother and Sister object to
the politeness plan,telling Mama that she's not being fair.Mama,however,reminds the kids that
they're the ones who aren't being fair to themselves or other people.She then explains what
manners are and why they are important until Papa interrupts her.
While Mama is thankful for Papa's comment,she notes that he breaks one of the rules.
She hands him a feather duster and has him dust the room.Brother and Sister note how serious
the plan is and both come up with the idea of being super polite to get Mama to call off the
politeness plan.
