11、 hybrid (杂种的) species that could become prevalent (盛行的) in the ocean due to climate change. Here are four of those hybrid species. “Brolar” bearsBrown bears and polar bears Evidence of a hybrid species born from brown bears and polar bears has been found in the United States and Canada in the past.
12、Known as “Polar bears” or “Pizzlies”, they have a mostly white coat, with a brownish hue and a nose that is a cross between a polar bear and a brown or grizzly bear. They are known to be more suited to warmer temperatures than their Arctic relative, as they do not rely so heavily on sea ice for hunt
13、ing. “Narlugas” Narwhals (独角鲸) and beluga whales (白鲸) In 1990, a hunter in West Greenland discovered an interesting skull, which appeared to be that of a beluga whale-narwhal hybrid. It wasnt until 2019 that DNA analysis confirmed that the creature was indeed 54% beluga from its father, and 46% narw
14、hal from its mother. Experts believe that the hybrid may have been grey in color and possessed a tail like a narwhal but forward flippers like those of a beluga whale. Hybrids of harp seals and hooded seals Numerous species of Arctic seal are expected to mate (交配) to form hybrid offspring due to dim
15、inishing sea ice. This includes a hybrid of the harp seal and hooded seal, which both breed on pack ice of the North Atlantic Ocean and extend into the Arctic Ocean in summer months. A hybrid animal, found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada, was formally reported and confirmed by molecular analys
16、is in 1997. “Harbor-Dall” porpoise (鼠海豚) Harbor porpoises and Dalls porpoises Hybrids of the harbor porpoises and the Dalls porpoises have been found off the coast of British Columbia, Canada.

19、 Economy. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Environment. BOn July 29, 10-year-old Mayah Zamora went home after being hospitalized for 66 days. Mayah was a survivor of the May 24 shooting rampage at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. The little girl had more than 20 surgeries and underwent weeks of p
20、hysical therapy after being shot in her hands, chest and back during the school shooting. Mayahs doctors have called her survival miraculous. On August 24, she was honored as the Hero of the Month for August by MLBs Houston Astros at a game against the Minnesota Twins, where she threw out the first
21、pitch. While there, Mayah also met former Astros shortstop (游击手) Carlos Correa, who shared some incredible news with her family. The Zamoras learned during the game that the Correa family Foundation and other donors are funding the construction of a new home for the family in a location they chose.
22、The trauma (创伤) of living just blocks from the gunmans house had been taking a toll on (给造成重大损伤) the young survivor. “I could never begin to imagine everything she has gone through, and we feel that this is one thing we could do to try to alleviate some of her pain,” Correa said. “Im thankful to bot
23、h teams for being a part of this effort.”His foundation shared a statement and some great photos of Mayahs special night at the ballpark on its Facebook page. “We are so proud of you. Mayah, and we are honored to recognize you as our Hero of the Month,” wrote the Correa Family Foundation. “We hope t
24、his will be an opportunity for Mayah and her family to rebuild their lives, make new memories, and look towards a bright future.”24.

26、ollowing can best describe Correa? A. Selfish. B. Caring. C. Determined. D. Responsible. 27. What is the text? A. A diary entry. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A moving story. CScientists have known for years that plants respond to sounds around them. For example, flowers make sweeter nectar
27、 (花蜜) to the sound of buzzing bees. But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”. Professor Lilach Hadany and her team at Tel Aviv University set up microphones to record tomato and tobacco plants under different conditions. Their recordings revealed that
28、the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波) . Its not clear how the plants make the sounds. One idea is that air bubbles (气泡) form inside the plants stem, and that these popping bubbles make a clicking sound. Its also not clear if the plants are making the sounds on purpose. Sometimes peoples knees crea
29、k, too, but theyre not doing it on purpose. But the plants are definitely making noise, and creating much more noise when theyre stressed than when theyre not. In fact, the researchers trained an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to identify the different kinds of clicking sounds. The system was a
30、ble to tell the difference between plants that needed water and plants with cuts about 70% of the time. The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plants sounds to figure out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. They hope that could be very helpful to farm
31、ers. The new discovery raises many more questions. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to communicate with each other? Other research has shown that plants do seem to communicate in some ways. Plants being attacked by insects send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants that havent
32、been attacked yet start to make other chemicals that dont taste good to insects. Its possible that the ultrasonic sounds could work in a similar way. Another big question is: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany points out that mice and moths, for example, depend on plants, and can hear u
33、ltrasonic frequencies. The clicks may tell these animals when a plant isnt healthy, so they can avoid it. The teams research has already changed our ideas about plants. As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we dont hear, and those sounds carry information.”28. Wh
34、y does the author mention flowers in Paragraph 1? A. To prove plants can hear the sounds. B. To show plants make ultrasonic sounds. C. To make a comparison with other plants. D. To arouse the readers interest in the text. 29. How do the plants possibly communicate with each other? A. The plants conv
35、ey information by touch. B. The attacked plants make ultrasonic sounds. C. The attacked plants send poor-taste chemicals. D. The wind blows the odor of the attacked plants. 30. Whats the purpose of the researchers? A. To prove plants can talk. B. To make a new discovery. C. To promote plants better
36、growth. D. To have more knowledge of plants. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Plants “Talk”B. Amazing Plants C. Ultrasonic “Dances”D. Wonderful Sounds DXZERO, “Worlds Most Walkable City” Will Be Built in KuwaitDo you fancy giving up your car for good, but are worried y
37、ou wont be able to get around? Plans have been released for the “worlds most walkable city”. Dubbed XZERO, the planned sustainable community in Kuwait would provide a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100, 000 residents, in balance with nature. All facilities and homes will be powered by 100 per cent re
38、newable energy and will recycle all their water with smart water system. UAE-based designers URB say the city will provide food and energy security while promoting a green circular economy. The estimated cost of the project is 13 billion, and URB are aiming to start construction in 2024, to complete
39、 by 2034. The central area is surrounded by a series of “hubs” (枢纽) , each dedicated to education, entertainment and medical facilities. The hubs will reduce the walking distances required of residents, while the homes are densely spaced to promote a connected community. The green-tech hub will prom
40、ote a collaborative innovative environment in food, energy, water and water tech. The medical hub will feature an autism (自闭症) village, wellness center and clinics. The educational hub will feature a nursery, school and an institute, while the commercial hub will include indoor mall and flexible off
41、ice space. The green landscape is designed with engineered natural areas to provide a variation of habitats for wildlife as well as rain water harvesting, mitigating (和缓的) flooding, better air quality and cleaner water. The 1, 600 hectare development will provide 30, 000 residential units, as well a
42、s 30, 000 green jobs. These jobs will be created in the various hubs. “The creation of sustainable cities that follow the highest standards of living with lowest impact on the environment is no longer a choice, it has become a necessity,” Baharsh Bagherian, the CEO of URB, said, “The heart of XZERO
43、is the unique resilient (弹性的) landscape, which is multifunctional and designed to promote health, wellbeing and biodiversity.”XZERO will promote sustainable tourism through its various eco-friendly hospitality assets, including a 5-star eco resort and eco lodges. “Edutainment” (寓教于乐型) facilities suc
