【解析】
【原文】M: Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States. Every year on Presidents’ Day, we honor him as one of the greatest presidents in our country’s history. Abe Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. At night, he liked to read by candlelight, but in the day he worked on his father’s farm. As an adult, he lived in Illinois and became a lawyer. He served in Congress where he spoke out against slavery. By the time Lincoln was elected to the president in 1860, the nation was horribly divided over the issue of slavery. Eleven southern states decided to “escape” from the United States. That meant they broke off to form their own nation, which then led to the American Civil War. President Lincoln fought to keep the U.S. together as one united country. In the “Gettysburg Address”, President Lincoln honored the thousands of soldiers who died on that battlefield. He called for the nation to come together so that the “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”. After four long years, the American Civil War ended. Abraham Lincoln had kept the United States together in its most terrible crisis. Today, we remember him as a great leader who led his country out of its darkest hour.

Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community,” says the project’s executive director Stephany Blanco. “A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from.”
24. What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face
A. A labor shortage. B. Poor economic conditions.
C. A rapid increase in population. D. Outdated agricultural technology.
25. What is the project about
A. Building art galleries in Guatemala.
B. Creating job opportunities for local artisans.
C. Developing local tourism by selling artworks.
D. Transforming the town into a cultural destination.
26. What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project
A. The nearby lake. B. Mayan-styled butterflies.
C. A type of traditional clothing. D. The national bird of Guatemala.
27. What is Melissa’s attitude towards the project
A. Positive. B. Uncaring. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了危地马拉阿蒂特兰湖高地的圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波镇以及该镇的彩绘项目.
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.（随着这里的农业开始枯竭，小镇开始衰落，许多家庭陷入贫困。为了解决贫困问题，并通过旅游业刺激经济增长，一个由劳工、工匠、家政工人和全职妈妈组成的规模虽小但力量强大的团体创建了Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó项目。）”可知，圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波镇面临经济状况不佳的情况。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art.（该项目最初是将所有850个住宅和建筑涂成明亮的颜色，努力将山坡小镇变成一件艺术品。）”可知，这个项目是关于把这个城镇变成一个文化目的地。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.（该地区最具代表性的特征之一是蓝色的徽衫，这是一种传统的衬衫，自16世纪以来一直是当地妇女的突出穿着。深天蓝色被选为Pintando项目的主色调，在日落和附近的湖泊中发现次要颜色，使设计更具吸引力。至于使用的设计，他们也会从当地文化中寻找灵感，比如火山、鲜花、玛雅风格的蝴蝶和危地马拉的国鸟。）可知，该项目的主色调灵感来自一种传统服装。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,’ Melissa Whitbeck said. ‘The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from.’（梅丽莎怀特贝克说: “起初，该项目的想法让许多人不确定是否要参与，但现在你可以看到这个小镇有了相当大的变化。”建筑物的颜色被认为可以提高人们的生活质量。它提升了人们的情绪，鼓励他们为自己的家乡感到自豪。）”可知，梅丽莎对这个项目的态度是积极的。故选A。
C
The tomato leafminer moth (飞蛾) originates from Per u and is common throughout South America. However, it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. A new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that the answer may lie in the tropical tent web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs that easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. Dr Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “The tropical tent web spiders operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that targeting the adult moth population will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer, which can benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study would “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests” but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the eco logy of regions. Dr Grinsted added, “Future studies are needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (授粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.”
28. Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to paragraph 1
A. It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C. It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supplies.
29. What made using the spiders to control pests possible
A. Their ability to weave huge webs. B. Their importance in the food chain.
C. The effect of chemical pesticides on soil. D. The cost reduction of building waterways.
30. How do scientists plan to deal with the larvae
A. By stopping them from hatching. B. By controlling their sources.
C. By reducing their food supplies. D. By destroying the eggs of adult moths.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Spiders: The Insect-Catching Lovers
C. Moths: A Headache for Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了科学研究发现采用热带帐篷蜘蛛替代杀虫剂控制害虫可能是一种重要方法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage.(世界各地的专家目前都在努力寻找对抗这种飞蛾的新方法，但它已经对杀虫剂产生了抗药性，农民们无法阻止这种破坏)”可知，难以除掉这种蛾的原因是它们产生了抗药性，故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs that easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. (科学家们进行了实验室测试，发现这些蜘蛛聚集在一起形成的网很容易捕获飞虫，然后吃掉它们)”以及“The tropical tent web spiders operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs capable of catching insects in the air.(热带帐篷网蜘蛛成群活动，能织出巨大的连网，能在空中捕捉昆虫)”可知，热带帐篷蜘蛛有能力形成巨大的连接网来捕捉虫子，这使得控制害虫有了可能性，故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, scientists expect that targeting the adult moth population will reduce the number of eggs being laid.(然而，科学家们预计，以成年蛾为目标将减少产卵数量)”可推知，科学家认为可以通过控制来源的方式对付幼虫，故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that the answer may lie in the tropical tent web spider.(朴茨茅斯大学的一项新研究表明，答案可能在热带帐篷网蜘蛛身上)”以及第二段“Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs that easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. (科学家们进行了实验室测试，发现这些蜘蛛聚集在一起形成的网很容易捕获飞虫，然后吃掉它们)”结合本文主要讲的是科学研究发现采用热带帐篷蜘蛛替代杀虫剂控制害虫可能是一种重要方法，故D项“蜘蛛：药物的环保替代品”符合标题，故选D。
D
Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you’re doing something for the environment “Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.”
PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. They are linked to various health issues, including thyroid disease, liver damage, kidney cancer and so on. Furthermore, these chemicals are used in everyday items, such as outdoor clothing and non-stick pans, to make them water and heat-resistant.
For a more in-depth analysis, the research team purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws made from five materials — paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands. They were not detected in any of the five types of steel straws tested.
“The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable,” says Dr. Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw — or just avoid using straws.”
The PFAS concentrations (浓度) were low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, pose a limited risk to human health. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes.
32. What does the underlined word “discredited” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Plain. B. Relevant.
C. Doubtful. D. Forceful.
33. Why are PFAS chemicals known as “forever chemicals”
A. They are resistant to water and heat.
B. They take a long time to break down.
C. They exist widely in daily necessities.
D. They may cause various common diseases.
34. What can we know from the test for PFAS
A. PFAS was found in all five types of straws.
B. Paper straws were most likely to contain PFAS.
C. Stainless steel straws are harmless to human health.
D. Glass straws were the most environmentally friendly straws.
35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To stress the potential risks of PFAS.
B. To show approaches to using straws safely.
C. To present the advantages of stainless steel straws.
D. To appeal to consumers to avoid using straws in daily life.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了安特卫普大学的环境科学家、研究员蒂莫·格罗芬博士表示，用纸和竹子等植物材料制成的吸管，通常被宣传为比塑料制成的吸管更可持续、更环保。然而，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means…”（然而，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着……）以及第二段中“PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment.”（PFAS化学物质因其寿命长和潜在危害而臭名昭著，会对人类、野生动物和环境产生不利影响。）可知，此处应为这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的。故可猜测划线单词discredited为“不可信”的意思，结合选项C项Doubtful“怀疑的”意思一致。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”.”（随着时间的推移，它们的生物降解非常缓慢，可以在环境中存在数千年，这一特性使它们被称为“永远的化学物质”。）可知，PFAS化学物质被称为“永远的化学物质”是因为它们需要很长时间才能降解。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands.”（他们发现大多数品牌(69%)含有PFAS，总共检测到18种不同PFAS。在纸质吸管中，90%的品牌检测到PFAS。在80%的竹吸管、75%的塑料吸管和40%的玻璃吸管中也检测到PFAS。）可知，从PFAS测试中我们能知道纸吸管最可能含有PFAS。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The PFAS concentrations (浓度) were low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, pose a limited risk to human health. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes.”（PFAS浓度较低，考虑到大多数人只是偶尔使用吸管，对人体健康构成的风险有限。然而，PFAS可以在体内停留多年，浓度会随着时间的推移而增加。“少量的PFAS虽然本身无害，但会增加体内已经存在的化学负荷，”Groffen博士总结道。）可推知，作者在最后一段想强调PFAS的潜在风险。故选A项。

【36题详解】
根据上文“Disasters can happen close to home or far away. But when we hear the news, it affects us. It has a deeper impact if you know people who are affected.(灾难可能发生在离家近的地方，也可能发生在很远的地方。但当我们听到新闻时，它会影响我们。如果你认识受影响的人，影响会更大)”以及后文“It’s good to find a way to help.(想办法帮忙是件好事)”可知，上文提到如果您了解受影响的人，它会产生更深的影响；下文讲到找到办法帮助他们很有用，可知本句承上启下指出灾难影响到自家人的情况。故G选项“如果灾难发生在离家很近的地方或影响到你认识的人，压力会更大”符合语境，故选G。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Check the website of a group like the Red Cross. Or reach out to a local community center, places of worship, or other organizations that are setup to help. They know what people need most and the best ways to help. You can pitch into support their efforts.(看看像红十字会这样的组织的网站。或者向当地社区中心、礼拜场所或其他组织伸出援手。他们知道人们最需要什么，也知道最好的帮助方式。你可以支持他们的努力)”可知，下文提到查看红十字会等团体的网站。或者联系当地社区中心、礼拜场所或其他为提供帮助而设立的组织，即了解人们需要什么帮助，故C选项“找出人们需要什么样的帮助”符合语境，故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“You could decide to do something as a family.(你们可以决定作为一个家庭做点什么)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，与上文并列，说明提供帮助的不同场合。故F选项“或者你可以在学校做点什么，或者和你所在社区的人一起做”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Plan what you’ll do, and make it happen.(计划好你要做的事情，然后去做)”以及后文“After you find out what’s needed, you’ll want to post a list of what to bring and when and where to drop it off.(在你找到需要的东西之后，你会想要发布一个清单，列出要带的东西以及何时何地交付)”可知，后文提出了列清单，说明是要收集东西，故B选项“假设你打算收集物资”符合语境，故选B。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Giving is a way to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Even small acts of kindness and giving have an effect. It reminds others that they are not alone and that there are people who are willing to help.(给予是给人们的生活带来积极影响的一种方式。即使是小小的善举和给予也会产生影响。它提醒别人，他们并不孤单，有人愿意帮助他们)”可知，下文提到给予是给人们的生活带来积极变化的一种方式。即使是小小的善举和给予也会产生影响。故A选项“你的行为有助于他人”符合语境，故选A。

A Painting Just Like Home
Lisa wasn’t so happy when the bell went for break. At her old school, she used to play with her friends. Now she sat alone in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play. The only thing Lisa liked about her new school was art. She hadn’t had art classes at her old school, but here they lasted a whole hour. During the art classes, Lisa forgot that she didn’t have friends here.
When clearing her table, Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pocket. Then she took her usual place at the end of the line. As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the playground, Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long drive way leading to their old apartment. The patterns are called rangoli, a traditional Indian decoration, and they look like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the times.
Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidelines. She took the chalk out and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern with huge petals and stars with eight points. “That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “The floor of my grandmother’s house has pattens like that,” Erie said.
“What do you mean ” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Eric said. Eric sat down and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s, but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too.
“What are you guys doing ” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that the hadn’t noticed their classmate Emma had been watching them. “Hey,’ Emma said, sitting down beside them, “that looks like the rugs in my house. Except on the rugs, the shapes are bigger and flatter.”

【答案】范文：
“Show us,” said Eric, handing Emma a piece of chalk. Emma took the chalk and began drawing. She drew shapes that were full of straight lines and bright colors. They were bigger than the shapes Lisa and Eric had drawn, covering each other to form new shapes. She colored the drawings purple, blue, and white. “Wow!” the art teacher showed up and said. “It’s beautiful.” The three students stood up and looked at what they had done, their heart swelling with pride.
Hearing the teacher’s praise, many students gathered around. They made various comments, varying from the universe with planets and stars to a coral reef full of fish. Finally the teacher asked for Lisa’s opinion. Glancing at Eric and Emma, whose knees, elbows, and fingers were covered in colorful chalk dust, she beamed sweetly and said, “It looks like home.” “I think so. Why don’t you enlarge the home together ” At their teacher’s words, the students joined in the painting cheerfully, joy permeating the air of the court.

Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community,” says the project’s executive director Stephany Blanco. “A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town,” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people’s mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from.”
24. What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face
A. A labor shortage. B. Poor economic conditions.
C. A rapid increase in population. D. Outdated agricultural technology.
25. What is the project about
A. Building art galleries in Guatemala.
B. Creating job opportunities for local artisans.
C. Developing local tourism by selling artworks.
D. Transforming the town into a cultural destination.
26. What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project
A. The nearby lake. B. Mayan-styled butterflies.
C. A type of traditional clothing. D. The national bird of Guatemala.
27. What is Melissa’s attitude towards the project
A. Positive. B. Uncaring. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.

The tomato leafminer moth (飞蛾) originates from Per u and is common throughout South America. However it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. A new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that the answer may lie in the tropical tent web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs that easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. Dr Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “The tropical tent web spiders operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that targeting the adult moth population will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer, which can benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study would “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests” but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the eco logy of regions. Dr Grinsted added, “Future studies are needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (授粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.”
28 Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to paragraph 1
A. It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C. It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supplies.
29. What made using the spiders to control pests possible
A. Their ability to weave huge webs. B. Their importance in the food chain.
C. The effect of chemical pesticides on soil. D. The cost reduction of building waterways.
30. How do scientists plan to deal with the larvae
A. By stopping them from hatching. B. By controlling their sources.
C By reducing their food supplies. D. By destroying the eggs of adult moths.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Spiders: The Insect-Catching Lovers
C. Moths: A Headache for Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs
D
Does using an eco-friendly paper straw (吸管) give you a good feeling because you’re doing something for the environment “Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.”
PFAS chemicals, infamous for their longevity and potential harm, can adversely affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment, a property that has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. They are linked to various health issues, including thyroid disease, liver damage, kidney cancer and so on. Furthermore, these chemicals are used in everyday items, such as outdoor clothing and non-stick pans, to make them water and heat-resistant.
For a more in-depth analysis, the research team purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws made from five materials — paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands. They were not detected in any of the five types of steel straws tested.
“The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable,” says Dr. Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw — or just avoid using straws.”
The PFAS concentrations (浓度) were low and, considering that most people only use straws occasionally, pose a limited risk to human health. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes.
32. What does the underlined word “discredited” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Plain. B. Relevant.
C. Doubtful. D. Forceful.
33. Why are PFAS chemicals known as “forever chemicals”
A. They are resistant to water and heat.
B. They take a long time to break down.
C. They exist widely in daily necessities.
D. They may cause various common diseases.
34. What can we know from the test for PFAS
A. PFAS was found in all five types of straws.
B. Paper straws were most likely to contain PFAS.
C. Stainless steel straws are harmless to human health.
D. Glass straws were the most environmentally friendly straws.
35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To stress the potential risks of PFAS.
B. To show approaches to using straws safely.
C. To present the advantages of stainless steel straws.
D. To appeal to consumers to avoid using straws in daily life.

A Painting Just Like Home
Lisa wasn’t so happy when the bell went for break. At her old school, she used to play with her friends. Now she sat alone in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play. The only thing Lisa liked about her new school was art. She hadn’t had art classes at her old school, but here they lasted a whole hour. During the art classes, Lisa forgot that she didn’t have friends here.
When clearing her table, Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pocket. Then she took her usual place at the end of the line. As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the playground, Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long drive way leading to their old apartment. The patterns are called rangoli, a traditional Indian decoration, and they look like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the times.
Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidelines. She took the chalk out and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern with huge petals and stars with eight points. “That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “The floor of my grandmother’s house has pattens like that,” Erie said.
“What do you mean ” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Eric said. Eric sat down and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s, but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too.
“What are you guys doing ” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that the hadn’t noticed their classmate Emma had been watching them. “Hey,’ Emma said, sitting down beside them, “that looks like the rugs in my house. Except on the rugs, the shapes are bigger and flatter.”
