The Britishsummer is extremely beautiful.Trees,flowers,birds andbutterflies make the whole country like a big garden.However,many Britishpeople have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from thispicturesque scenery during the past several years.What has happened to them?
ButterflyConservation,a charity in the UK,is running a survey to help answer this question.The result is more serious than people expected.According to the survey,among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles,more than three-quarters of them are suffering a decliningpopulation,including the mostpopular Meadow Brown.Moreover,half of all butterfly species are on the verge of extinction.Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly andthe Wall butterfly are dropping dramatically.The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southernEngland.The Blue butterfly,which was commonly seen in the south,has started colonizing Edinburgh in the past few years.
The numbersof butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largelybecause the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is alsodegrading.Fortunately Britain isexperiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers.Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit tothe butterflies.
Sir DavidAttenborough,president of ButterflyConservation,said:“Butterflies in quantity tell us that all is well with nature.When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soonheading the same way.”
The survey isstill going on.The public is alsoencouraged to keep track of the UK’s butterfly population.The organisershope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies inthe UK.Butterflies give anindication of the well-being of nature and the environment.

When 6-year-oldJack Foley crossed the finish line last month at the Long Beach Kids Triathlon,it was more than an athletic achievement.His completion marked a remarkable recovery from a rare heartcondition.
The journeybegan before Jack was born.
At a routine20-week examination,doctors toldparents-to-be Rob Foley and Lauren Kiefer-Foley of Long Island,New York,that the fetus’(胎儿的)heart wasn’t properly developing.“The doctortold us,‘we can’t see the left side of the baby’s heart,’”Kiefer-Foleyrecalled.“He told us,‘you need to get to a cardiologist(心脏病专家)first thing in the morning.’”
Further testswould confirm a diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome,a rare birth fault affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood through the body.Doctors informed the couple about the risks and challenges theirchild could face.“We were advised bymany doctors to terminate our pregnancy because the condition is sosevere.They told us that mostbabies don’t even survive birth,let alone the first surgery,”Kiefer-Foley said.
Nonetheless,the couple decided to give their baby a chance.
After Jackwas born at full-term via a scheduled C—section(剖腹产),doctors took him straight to a care unit to administer the level ofcare he would need before his first open—heart surgery days later.“When the doctor said‘it’s a boy!’I didn’t get to see him for hours after that.”Kiefer—Foley said.They would also have to wait until after Jack’s first surgery to hold him for the first time.
With asuccessful delivery behind them,it was now upto Dr.Emile Bacha,chief of Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital to guide Jack through aseries of surgeries to repair the newborn’s heart.
24.Why did the author say“it was more than an athletic achievement”in Paragraph 1?

Some expertsbelieve that our attention spans are actually shrinking.We often joke that goldfish have the shortest level of concentration,so much so that they forget what they saw nine seconds earlier.Well now a study says that humans have an even shorter span—just eight seconds.This I can believe—there’s always somuch to do and so much to remember that my brain gets overloaded and I find ithard to zero in on one thing.
Of course,smartphones,the internetand social media all take up a lot of our attention.Chicago-based research firm Dscout found that we look at our mobilephones for,on average,2.42 hours every day.It is tempting to keep glancing at our phones when we should befocusing on other things and it’s something we didn’t and couldn’t do beforethe boom in digital media and smartphones,so maybe that’s why theamount of time we can concentrate has been dropping.A report carried out for Microsoft said the average human attentionspan in 2000 was 1 2 seconds but has now fallen to just eight seconds.
However,a BBC radio programme called More or Less,couldn’t find evidence to backup Microsoft’s report.It spoke to Dr Gemma Briggs,a psychologist at the Open University,who says there are problems with the idea of measuring attentionspans and it’s all down to the individual person,“so attention-switching ability may well have developed in recentyears,in the age of thesmartphone and the internet.But becausesomeone’s distracted(分心)by their smartphone…it doesn’t mean that they then don’t have theability to control and maintain their attention when they carry out anothertask.”
This suggestswe’re getting better at switching our attention quickly between different tasks;we can multi—skill betterthan before so we can achieve more things.This is useful in the modern workplace where we need to turn ourhand to many different jobs.
28.What does Paragraph 1mainly talk about?
A.It’s necessary to stay focused on one thing.
B.Humans have shorterattention spans than goldfish.
C.Human’s attention spans are shrinking.
D.Why goldfish have theshortest level of concentration.
29.What led to theshrinking attention span?
A.Pressure of life. B.Busy lifestyles.
C.Different kinds ofnoise. D.The boom in modernmedia and products.
30.What does theunderlined word“It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The medium. B.Microsoft’s report.
C.Evidence. D.A radio programme.
31.According to Dr GemmaBriggs,___________.
A.people can measureattention spans accurately
B.people have theattention—switching ability.
C.People can’t control their attention to another task
D.attention—switching ability is useless in the modern workplace

Schoolplayground crazes(热潮)come and gobut the latest collectable toy is proving popular with children and adultsalike.My kids have gone madfor the plastic spinning disc called a fidget spinner(指尖陀螺)and I have to admit,I’ve become a little addicted too—but why?
Fidget spinnershave been popular.They were originallydesigned to help kids with conditions like autism(孤独症)deal with stress but they have become a popular toy and they’re helping reduce my stress levels too—when there’s something onmy mind I just spin!
So what’s the big deal about these three-pronged pieces of rotating plastic?Well,there are manydifferent designs and colours to collect and then there’s the challenge ofspinning them,getting the speed up,balancing it on the end of your finger.On video-sharing websites,vloggers(博主)have showedmillions of views from performing tricks with their fidget spinners.
For mostschool children,they’ve become the latest must-have,although some schools have banned them,saying some are poorly made and can be a distraction for pupils.However, one teacher,Ms Timmons,says that they can aid learning among some children.She says“It is a muchless disturbing way to channel their energies into something else while theteaching is going on.
Fidgetspinners join a long list of other childhood favourites now living in theteacher’s top drawer.It wasn’t long ago when our homes and school playgrounds were littered withloom bands(彩虹橡皮筋)as they suddenly became must—have accessories.Billions ofthem were sold and then made into various forms of rubbery jewellery.One teacher,Guy Tarrant,has confiscated(没收)numerousitems from children over the years.
It’s probably fair to say fidget spinners won’t always be flavour of the month.Eventually they’11 be replacedby a new equally addictive and annoying craze.
32.For what purpose werefidget spinners originally made?
A.To reduce kids’stress levels.
B.To get children toamuse themselves.
C.To arouse students’interest in study.
D.To make kids addictedto play.
33.What has made many kidsgo mad for fidget spinners?
A.The raw materials. B.Their shapesand colors.
C.Their spinning speed. D.The challenge of playing them.
34.Why have some schoolsbanned fidget spinners?
A.Some spinners are badlydesigned.
B.They are concernedabout students’health.
C.Some are of poorquality and bad effect.
D.Some kids are alwaysshowing off tricks.
35.What can we infer fromthe text?
A.Fidget spinners arekids’favourite forever.
B.School crazes changewith time.
C.Adults never play withfidget spinners.
D.No new school crazeswill appear.

Professor Vyv Evans,has written a book called‘The Emoji Code’—he says“increasingly,what we’re finding is that digital communication is taking over from certainaspects of face-to-face interaction. 38 ”So emojis are a sort of substitute for the visual or non-verbal signalswe normally give when we speak to someone face-to-face.
39 They don’t use words but tell a message in pictorial form.So they can be easily interpreted whatever your native language. 40 If a friend sends you anemoji of a hammer,you may think he is angrywhen really he is saying he has hurt himself or he is clumsy!
A.Emojis have become themost important to everyone’s life.
B.Yes,emojis have become a vital tool for communication.
C.The number of differentimages has dramatically increased since then.
D.Emojis will replacetraditional writing completely in the near future.
E.Another advantage ofemojis is that they are an international language.
F.However,the emojis you send need some thought as they can sometimes bemisinterpreted.
G.Emojis are interestingand they really enable us to express our emotions more effectively.
