8、o books,” she said. “They became my best friends when I didnt have one.” In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad suffered from cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger comfort, and she started thinking about families in similar situations.
9、 When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to help others. “The idea came from the fact that there were kids who were facing the same problem,” she said. Then, Emily started the book drive in her hometown, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being tre
10、ated for cancer in local hospitals. Her father was not surprised by this plan. “She always wants to do things for the neighborhood,” he said. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books. Emily had no idea how much attention
11、her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. “I was expecting maybe two or three neighbors to do it,” she said. “But it ended up blowing up,” especially when newspapers began reporting it. The Childrens Inn is one of the places where Emily has dona
12、ted books. “Donations like Emilys share a piece of the world with kids and families that they may not experience,” said its director, Aisha Campbell.

This included cars, buses, trees, and plants. As the sun rose, the dust in the air tur
16、ned the skies in some cities a strange orange. The cause of the dust and unusual sky color wasnt a forest fire, but the dust from the Sahara Desert. Every year, a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert. Its called the Saharan Air Layer. Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a n
17、atural cycle (圈) that helps develop farmland in Central and South America. But sometimes, depending on the weather, the layer of dust gets forced to the north. Large sandstorms in northern Africa lift sand and dust into the air, where it gets blown toward Spain. These kinds of storms arent unknown i
18、n Spain. In fact, it has a special name, calima. It is so large that it can be seen from space. A NASA scientist says its like a river of dust in the air. That river of dust has met with a river of wet air driven by strong winds. People in some cities, like Malaga and Navarra, reported that it was r
19、aining dust. In other places, the dust changed the color of the snow on the ground. The dust cloud continued to move north and west, hitting both France and the United Kingdom. The dust is expected to keep stalking, possibly as far north as Denmark. The dust cloud may make some places a little foggy
20、 and sunsets very colorful. Some weather experts warn that climate change could make dust storms from the Sahara Desert even more serious in the future.8Normally, what does the Saharan Air Layer do?AIts farmland-friendly.BIt does good to the desert.CIt ends in the desert.DIt disappears in the ocean.
21、9What can be learnt about the calima in Spain?AIt has different colors.BIt causes heavy rains.CIt is huge and famous.DIt is formed near rivers.10What does the underlined word “stalking” in paragraph 4 mean?ARising.BSpreading.CGetting weak.DBecoming different.11In which section of a newspaper may thi

Now the scientists at Londons Queen Mary University report that bumblebees (大黄蜂) know the same thing. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing. Dr. L
23、ars Chittka began to wonder if bumblebees played during an earlier test. In that test, Chittka guided bumblebees to move balls into a goal for food. He noticed that some bees were rolling (滚动) balls even when they werent given food. He wondered if they were playing. To test the idea, the scientists
24、at his lab set up a new test. First, they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old. The numbers let them follow bumblebees behavior. Then, they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees home to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, the researchers placed small colored
25、wooden balls. On one side of the path, the balls couldnt move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours a day, over 18 days, the scientists opened the pathway between the home and the feeding area. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anywa
26、y. They werent interested in the side where the balls didnt move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls. Catching the balls with their legs, the bees would move their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 numbered bumblebees did this 910 times during the
27、test. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it. One bee was recorded rolling balls 44 times in a single day. One was seen rolling balls 117 times over the whole test. The test raises imp
28、ortant questions about how the insects minds work and whether they have feelings.12What did Chittka want to do about bumblebees in the earlier test?ADiscover if they played.BTrain them to move balls.CMake them learn to relax.DFind out if theyd share food.13What did the scientists do to bumblebees be
29、fore the new test?AThey named each of them.BThey let them interested in balls.CThey had all of them go hungry.DThey marked them one by one.14What can we say about the older bumblebees behavior in the new test?AThey held their attention for longer.BThey understood simpler numbers.CThey were less acti
