Kim Ja-in was born to climb. Her parents met and fell in love in the mountains. Her mother climbed, her father climbed, both her older brothers climbed, all before she first chalked up her hands. It was only natural that she would join them. But while she was the last to start, Kim outclimbed her family a long time ago —in fact, few others can claim to have scaled the same heights.

Kim, 30, is a superstar of the sport climbing world. As a previous world champion, she faces a new challenge: the Olympics. At Tokyo 2020, sport climbing makes its debut. The competition will be run across the three disciplines of bouldering( 抱石攀岩), lead and speed climbing, each with their own techniques and format. Combined results will determine medalists.

Kim has already qualified for the South Korean national team, and the team begins its Olympic qualification efforts later this summer. Lead climbing is Kim’s specialty, but Tokyo 2020’s format is throwing up new challenges. “I had to do speed climbing, which I’ve never done before,”she explained. “It’s been hard recently because of that.”

As an ambassador for the sport, she’s gone to extreme lengths to raise climbing’s profile in South Korea. In 2017, Kim scaled the 555-meter Lotte World Tower in Seoul—the fifth tallest completed building in the world on live television.“I thought it would be a good way to introduce sports climbing to the public,”Kim said.

After 19 years of climbing and 15 years on the professional circuit, Kim said that her love of the sport is not reliant upon medals. She just relishes the chance to stand in front of a new wall and climb it for the first time. “When I finish a climb, that sense of achievement and joy are the biggest attraction when it comes to climbing,”she explained.“Climbing is everything to me.”

24.What do we know about Kim Ja-in according to the passage?

A.There are four people in her family.

B.She begins climbing out of curiosity.

C.Her performances stand out in her family.

D.She has a good talent for motivating others.

25.What does the underlined phrase“chalked up her hands”in the first paragraph mean?

A.Set foot in climbing.

B.Hung on to climbing.

C.Longed for climbing.

D.Took on climbing.

26.Which of the following is NOT true about Kim Ja-in’s experiences?

A.She has never done speed climbing before.

B.She began climbing when she was 15 years old.

C.She climbed the fifth tallest building in the world.

D.She was once a world champion of the sport climbing world.

27.What can be inferred about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics?

A.Sport climbing will appear for the first time.

B.There are three disciplines with the same techniques.

C.The champion is determined by the scores of lead climbing.

D.Climbing the Lotte World Tower is a part of the Olympic Games.

You can count on the fact that cocoa bean planting is bad for the environment—especially for the rainforests of West Africa. That’s enough to make some consumers think about giving up chocolate. But what if we could enjoy chocolate without climate guilt? In fact, we can, because when cocoa is grown sustainably, it can actually help save the world.

Cocoa beans grow on shrubs that are often planted in the open but can also grow better under large rainforest trees. Well-managed shade-grown cacao trees can store a significantly higher amount of carbon than annual crops—up to three times the amount stored by cacao trees grown in full sun. Shade-grown cacao trees are also more drought-tolerant and weed-resistant than those grown in the open. They are friendlier to wildlife, improving biodiversity.

The problem is not that cacao trees can’t help the environment. The problem is that too few of them do. The reasons for this are complex, but mainly boil down to lack of resources, lack of information and insecure land tenure( 保有期). Many West African cacao farmers are sharecroppers. They can’t remove old, diseased trees because this would risk losing the land. They can’t afford to plant new trees, either. As a result, new cacao farms are usually created by businessmen who cut down trees and create chemical-intensive( 大量使用化学物品的) plantations, which both pollute and reduce biodiversity.

As the planet grows warmer and drier, though, these high-productive, full-sun cacao varieties are becoming weaker in the heat. Many small cacao farms in West Africa’s cocoa belt, which supplies up to 70 percent of the world’s cocoa, now suffer from low productivity. But there is hope. When cost and land tenure issues are solved, farmers are more than willing to grow cacao trees in the shade.

Trees are the most important weapons in the fight against climate change. So enjoy your chocolate—provided that it’s a sustainable, shade-grown brand. In fact, buy, eat and give as much of it as you like. The world will thank you.

28.Which of the following can store the largest amount of carbon?

A.Local annual crops that grow near the water.

B.Cacao trees that grow in full sun.

C.Cacao trees that grow under the shade.

D.Newly planted cacao trees that have most leaves.

29.What is the current problem according to the passage?

A.There are not enough cacao trees to take effect.

B.Pollution from chemical plants poisons cacao trees.

C.Only a part of the cacao trees can help the environment.

D.Local cacao farmers run chemical-intensive plantations.

30.What is a possible solution to the low productivity of cacao farms in the cocoa belt?

A.Making improvement to cacao varieties by means of chemicals.

B.Encouraging farmers to grow cacao trees under rainforest trees through some

supporting measures.

C.Providing shade for originally full-sun cacao trees in the warmer and drier region.

D.Inviting successful businessmen to manage cacao farms in West Africa’s cocoa belt.

31.What is the best title for the text?

A.West Africa’s Cocoa Belt Is in Danger

B.Sustainable Brands Help Save the World

C.How Chocolate Can Help Save the Planet

D.How We Can Enjoy Food Without Climate Guilt

D

The government of Burkina Faso granted scientists permission to release genetically engineered mosquitoes anytime this year or next, researchers announced Wednesday. It’s a key step in the broader efforts to use bioengineering to remove malaria(疟疾) in the region.

The release, which scientists are hoping to so this month, will be the first time that any genetically engineered animal is released into the wild in Africa. While these particular mosquitoes won’t have any mutations ( 变异) related to malaria transmission, researchers are hoping their release, and the work that led up to it, will help improve the consciousness of the research and trust in the science among regulators and locals alike.

In Africa, the project’s success depends on more than just the science of genetic engineering. The people who live in the areas where the mosquitoes will be released must give their permission, researchers must staff and maintain labs to work with genetically modified animals, and regulators must accept the new technology. The coming release of these mosquitoes serves as a stress test for the whole system.

These mosquitoes, unlike thei“r gene-drive”peers, are not intended to have a lasting impact on the insect population. They have something called a “sterile(不育的) male”mutation—none of the male mosquitoes to be released will be able to have offspring. Nearly all will be male, but less than one percent might be female—which are the only members of the species that bite. If any bite a human, they will not pass on any genetically modified material. All of the modified mosquitoes the group will release are also weaker than natural mosquitoes, so they should die off in a matter of months.

The scientists also worked hard to address questions about the science behind their efforts —including concerns about whether those “sterile males”might somehow pass on that sterile status to humans.

32.What do we learn about the release of genetically engineered mosquitoes?

A.It aims to rid the area of malaria.

B.It is expected to have a long-term effect.

C.It has been released many times in Africa.

D.It is determined by the success of genetic engineering.

33.What’s the researchers’ expectation concerning their work?

A.It will become successful.

B.It will have a lasting influence.

C.It will solve questions in other fields.

D.It will raise people’s awareness about their work.

34.What can we learn about the project?

A.It is under great pressure.

B.There are few problems behind it.

C.Cooperation is needed for its success.

D.Locals’ permission is unnecessary.

35.What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs?

A.Only 1% of “sterile male”mosquitoes can bite.

B.Genetically modified mosquitoes are believed to be harmless.

C.Scientists believe“sterile male”mosquitoes are a potential danger.

D.Genetically modified mosquitoes can cause sterility in humans.

选项。

It’s an argument that every modern parent has had with their child: the battle to break them away from the mobile phone they’re staring at. For children, a smartphone is a window to games, videos and constant interaction with their friends. But for parents, it can feel like a minefield. 36

First, it’s worth bearing in mind that screen time can be beneficial. “37 But they often use them to develop an interest. For instance, if they’re interested in gymnastics, they’ll watch videos of routines and try to learn from them,”Peter Twining, professor of education at the Open University says.

38 It may help to explain the substantial gap in opinion between children and parents about how much screen time is acceptable. According to a survey, the amount of screen time that adults thought appropriate for children was 1.75 hours, with children believing it to be 3.34 hours.

39 However, recent research suggests that instead of setting specific time limits for usage, such as a maximum of two hours per day, it’s actually the nature of the screen time that matters. For instance, passively looking through social media posts is less beneficial than actively playing games，which can improve problem solving skills. A study found that “how children use the devices, not how much time they spend on them, is the strongest predictor of emotional or social problems connected with screen addiction.”

Twining agrees, saying：“I’m less concerned about screen time than about the nature of the interaction around the screen. The screen should become a shared focus for interaction with the family rather than an individual activity. The screen shouldn’t be an alternative to communicating

with your child. 40 ”

A.It should be an improvement to it.

B.It’s a dilemma to judge which side outweighs the other.

C.A mobile phone is different from traditional land line phones.

D.But at least both parties do recognize that there should be limits.

E.Screen time counts down only during the time a child is signed in.

F.We tend not to recognize the value of what they do on their mobile devices.

G.We should emphasize the difference in understanding children’s mobile phone usage.
