Cordero is the farm manager at Olli n Farms, not far from Boulder, Colorado. The locally
grown vegetables on the farm aren’t just pretty. “We play an important role in public health
nutrition programs,” says Cordero’s dad, Mark Guttridge, who started this farm with his wife, Kena,
17 years ago.
At a meeting with about a dozen local farmers, two state representatives, and the Colorado
officials of agriculture, Guttridge explains how Boulder county has made creative investments in his
farm that could be spread to the state or even national level. Before the meeting, Guttridge shows
them one of those investments.
A dozen sheep, which Guttridge raises for wool, feed on root vegetables like radishes that have
been leftover for them. “So these guys are out fertilizing the vegetable field,” Guttridge laughs.
“They’ll be out here a couple more weeks, and then we’ll get our next summer vegetables planted
right there.” Around the field is a special moveable type of fencing that Ollin Farms bought using
financial aid from the Boulder County Sustainability Office. It allows them to move the sheep from
one field to another, fertilizing as they go. The goal of these investments is “really building up our
soil health,” he explains. “That relates directly to the nutrient quality of the food-healthy soil grows
healthy food.”
The county also makes an effort to get that healthy food out to different communities to boost
public health. That’s where the Boulder County Public Health department comes in. It created a
coupon program to give discounts to people buying fruits and vegetables from Olli n Farms.
Nutrition incentive programs, like those public health fruit and vegetable coupons, are spreading all
over the country, and most are funded through the federal farm bill. Amy Yaroch, executive director
at the Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition, says “It’s a trip le win. It’s basically good for the
consumers who live in that particular community because they’re getting the healthy food, it’s good
for the farmer, and then it’s good for the economy.”
24. What does Ollin Farms do
A. It makes public nutrition health plans.
B. It offers financial aid to other farms.
C. It provides cheap food to the local community.
D. It grows fruits and vegetables rich in nutrition.
25. How does Boulder county support sustainable farming practices at Ollin Farms
{#{QQABKYIQogioAIIAARhCAwXiCEIQkACCCKoOgBAEsAAAyBFABAA=}#}
A. By raising sheep on radishes. B. By buying fences for farmhouses.
C. By funding the farm’s soil health. D. By giving advice about fertilizing fields.
26. What is Amy’s attitude towards “nutrition incentive programs”
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Couponing for Health: Stimulating Nutrition Choices
B. Growing Health: Innovations in Farm and Public Health Initiatives
C. Fertile Fields and Furry Friends: A Farming Fairy Tale
D. Local Produce, Global Impact: The Nutrition Choices of Ollin Farms
C
Meteorites (陨石) can offer clues about what the early solar system was like. But finding them
is far from difficult. Now, some scientists are turning to drones (无人机) and machine learning to
help spot freshly fallen meteorites much more efficiently. “A team of six people on a
meteorite-hunting expedition can search about 200,000 square meters per day,” says Seamus
Anderson, a planetary scientist in Australia.
Around 2016, Anderson began toying with the concept of using drones to take pictures of the g
round to look for meteorites. That idea blossomed into a Ph.D． project. In 2023, he and his
colleagues reported their first successful recovery of a meteorite spotted with a drone. They’ve
since found four more meteorites at a different site. Drone-based searches are much faster than the
standard search way. “You’re going from about 300 days of human effort down to about a dozen or
so,” he says.
Anderson and his workmates have used drones to search for meteorites in remote parts of
Western Australia and South Australia. The team is tipped off about a fall site by networks of
ground-based cameras that track meteoroids flashing through the Earth’s atmosphere. The
researchers have to do a series of enjoyable but difficult work before the hunt. They pack a
four-wheel drive vehicle with drone and computer equipment, battery charging stations, generators,
fuel, food, camping equipment, tables, chairs and much more. The drive to the fall site can take
more than a day, often on rough or nonexistent roads. Anderson says, “You hope you don’t pop a
tire.”
After arriving, the team flies its primary drone at an altitude of about 20 meters. Its camera
takes an image of the ground once every second, and the scientists download the data every 40
minutes or so when the drone lands to receive fresh batteries. A typical day of flying can net over
10,000 images, which are then divided digitally into 100 million or so smaller sections. Those
“tiles”, each 2 meters on a side, are fed into a machine learning algorithm (算法 ) that has been
trained to recognize meteorites based on images of real land rocks which are spray-painted black.
28. Why do the scientists study meteorites
A. To spot the planetary course. B. To promote machine learning.
C. To test the functions of drones. D. To explore the past of solar system.
29. What does Anderson say about drone-based searches in paragraph 2
A. Their barriers. B. Their causes.
C. Their efficiency. D. Their concept.
{#{QQABKYIQogioAIIAARhCAwXiCEIQkACCCKoOgBAEsAAAyBFABAA=}#}
30. Which words can best describe the preparations of the drone search for meteorites
A. Fun and effortless. B. Smooth and flexible.
C. Demanding and dull. D. Complicated and tough.
31. How does the drone process images
A. By dividing them in half. B. By storing them for analysis.
C. By combining them into a picture. D. By linking them with a digital printer.
D
Researchers set up an experiment in which 5-year-olds were tested with their fellows under
different circumstances of transparency (透明 ) and different audiences. They set up a sticker
machine that in some settings was transparent, and other settings in which only the giver of stickers
knew how many stickers he could give. They had children give out stickers in both settings. The
results were striking: children were consistently generous only when the receiver and audience of
the stickers were fully aware of the donation options. Children were notably ungenerous when the
receiver of stickers couldn’t see the options.
The researchers said, “Children only showed consistently pro-social behavior in our study in
the condition when they could see the receiver and their allocations (分配物) were fully visible; in
all other conditions, children were statistically ungenerous, giving the receiver the smaller amount
of stickers.”
They made the conclusions that at a very early age, children are learning how to position
themselves socially. Well before they apprehend the sociology of their networks and what social
reputation really means, they think strategically about giving as a function of how they can gain a
reputation with a peer as a generous citizen or pro-social agent when the receiver observes them.
Children change their behavior in response to having an audience. Help children give to others
in full view, delivering meals to families, and in private, dropping off treats or surprises for those
who need support without signing their names. Also, children should be reminded that thank-you
notes are lovely but unnecessary to receive. When we give gifts or lend help to others, try to help
children remember why—to provide something for another. It really doesn’t have to be recognized.
When a thank-you card doesn’t come, it doesn’t make a gift any less valuable or meaningful for
those who were lucky enough to receive.
32. What did the researchers discover
A．The givers’ behavior inspired the receivers to help in return.
B．The children gave out an equal number of stickers in both settings.
C．The presence of an audience affected children’s decisions to give.
D．Donating helped children to become more generous in the future.
33. Which is pro-social behavior according to the researchers
A．Observing the givers. B．Donating more stickers.
C．Gaining a reputation. D．Receiving more allocations.
34. What does the underlined word “apprehend” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Show gratitude for. B．Make predictions of.
C．Have belief in. D．Gain insight into.
35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
{#{QQABKYIQogioAIIAARhCAwXiCEIQkACCCKoOgBAEsAAAyBFABAA=}#}
A．To call on recognizing others’ kindness.
B．To acknowledge the giver’s contribution.
C．To confirm the benefits of being grateful.
D．To suggest inspiring generosity in children.

One of the joys of being a beauty journalist is the enthusiastic advice. A skin expert once
glanced at my face and said, “You eat loads of sugar, don’t you ” _ _ 36 __, but the fact that it

Snowed In
Waiting and praying were a daily routine for Barbara Schmitt, but today the prayers were more
intense. Her three-year-old granddaughter, Michelle, had been showing danger signs that made an
immediate liver transplant critical, but the telephone was as silent as the snowy scene outside.
Then at nine in the morning, the phone rang. A hospital in Omaha had located the right liver
donor, they were sure it was a match for Michelle, and they needed her there within 12 hours.
Barbara couldn’t tell what to do first—rejoice or despair, as they were stuck in snow, 600 miles
away. “We’re snowed in,” Barbara told the medical coordinator on the line, “and the airport is 17
miles away and there’s no way we’re going to get there.” “Don’t give up,” the woman told Barbara.
“You have 12 hours to reach Omaha!”
Fortunately, the phone lines were still working, so she started calling Sharon Stevens, who runs
Hair Angels, a fund for children with special needs. Sharon had already lined up a Lear jet（医疗飞
机）and two pilots to fly the Schmitts to Omaha when transplant time came. How to get from the
Schmitts’ house to the jet was the big question.
Sharon called for help through the local radio station, wanting to invite listeners to call in with
ideas and suggestions. Teresa heard the story and suggested that the church parking lot next to her
house, only a mile from the Schmitts, would make a perfect helicopter landing field. As precious
minutes ticked away, the Amshoffs rushed from door to door, begging for help to clear the lot.
Para 1:
Within half an hour, 50 volunteers were working in winds to clear the area in snow.
Para 2:
Hours later, the Schmitts reached the hospital in Omaha.

In our opinion, both introverted and extroverted students can excel academically, but they may have different approaches to learning.
Introverted students tend to be more reflective and focused, which can lead to deep understanding and mastery of subjects. They often excel in individual study sessions and tasks that require concentration. On the other hand, extroverted students thrive in social settings and collaborative activities, which can enhance their learning experience through discussions and interactions with peers.
Ultimately, academic success depends on factors like study habits, motivation, and personal strengths, rather than personality type alone.

Within half an hour, 50 volunteers were working in winds to clear the area in snow. They braved the freezing temperatures and battled against the mounting snow. With shovels and brooms in hand, they labored tirelessly, their determination fueled by the belief that their efforts could save a young girl’s life. Sharon also sent a four-wheel vehicle to transport the Schmitts to the church. The crowd cheered as the jet descended onto the makeshift landing pad and waved as the Schmitts flew off into the snowy night.
Hours later, they reached the hospital in Omaha. A team of medical professionals anxiously awaited Michelle’s arrival. The transplant was a success, and the Schmitts were grateful to all the people who had helped make this miracle possible. The act of clearing the parking lot had not only cleared a path for the jet, but it had also cleared a path for hope to enter their lives again. The snowstorm that once threatened to separate the Schmitt family from the life-saving medical care they desperately needed had ultimately brought them closer to their community. It had shown them the true power of unity.
