A 70-year-old grandfather has successfully rowed a boat unassisted across the entire Atlantic Ocean-and he didn't do it for himself. Frank Rothwell took the challenge in memory of his brother-in-law Roger, who died of Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默病) during Frank's crossing.
Requiring 18 months of hard training, the entire trip took eight challenging weeks for Rothwell to travel from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12 to the finish line 3000 miles away in Antigua on February 6. “I like a challenge!” explains Frank on his fundraising site. “In 2017 I spent five weeks on a deserted island for the Channel 4 program, The Island with Bear Grylls. Before that, I was only the 10th person ever to circumnavigate North and South America.”
In a statement, Hilary Evans, chief executive of Alzheimer's Research UK, said, “We're honored to have such amazing support from Frank. His courage and determination helped him to complete his epic challenge and raise £1 million for dementia(痴呆）research.”
“This incredible amount will be a huge benefit to the groundbreaking research we carry out here at Alzheimer's Research UK, as we continue our mission to bring about life-changing treatments for people affected by dementia,”added Evans.
Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment for Rothwell. He said, “I am on cloud nine! I set out in December wishing to raise £1 million for Alzheimer's Research UK but I never thought I'd actually achieve it. At times, the challenge was incredibly tough, with rough seas, huge waves, and missing my wife, Judith. But as exhausting as it was, it was all totally worth it.”
He also said, “Having received hundreds of messages from people who, like me, have witnessed the heartbreak of dementia, I am proud to have raised such an incredible amount in honor of Roger and everyone else who has experienced the destruction it causes.”
24.Why did Rothwell sail across the Atlantic Ocean?
A. To raise money for Roger to receive treatment.
B. To call on people to challenge themselves.
C. To collect money for Alzheimer's research.
D. To photograph the rare view of seas and waves.

25. What does the underlined part “on the cloud nine” probably mean?
A. At a loss B. In surprise
C. In great shape D. In wild excitement
26. What words best describe Rothwell?

C. Optimistic and cautious. D. Generous and wise.
27. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?
A. Sports B. Society C. Education D. Health

A herd of wild Asian elephants in Southwest China's Yunnan Province has been away from its home for two months, with its current direction of travel showing the animals have no intention of returning. The elephants have attracted global attention after they advanced about 500 km to the north from their original habitat in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture(辖区) in the province to enter Kunming. It's the furthest that a herd of wild elephants from Xishuangbanna has ever travelled from its habitat.
As the herd has moved too far from its original habitat, and Yunnan has entered the rainy season making it difficult to cross rivers, it is extremely unlikely that the herd will return to its original habitat at any time soon, said Zhang Li, a field wildlife biologist and professor at Beijing Normal University. “The best solution is to find a new and more suitable habitat for the herd and guide them there, away from crowds, to reduce the possibility of human-elephant conflict,” Zhang said.
Previously, it was supposed that wild elephants were leaving their habitat because the local ecology had been damaged, but some experts pointed out that the migration of elephants northward instead proved that Yunnan's ecology has progressed in recent years.
“The range of Asian elephants in China had expanded from two prefectures and three counties in the 1990s to three prefectures and 12 counties by the end of 2020, which also indicates that the areas suitable for Asian elephants are increasing,” Chen Fei, director of Asian Elephant Research CenterState Forestry and Grassland Administration of China said.
Researchers have shown that wild animals undertake long-distance migration depending on the connectivity of the landscape and environmental conditions. The Asian elephants were able to reach Kunming unimpeded(无障碍的) because of the restored forests and farmland along the way, Chen added.
28. What can we learn about the wild Asian elephants from paragraph 1?
A. They got lost on their way home.
B. They moved for a better living place.
C. They went to Kunming in search of food.
D. They kept heading north after leaving their home.
29 What is Zhang Li's advice on helping the elephants?
A. To guide them to a better habitat.
B. To provide them with some local food.
C. To send them back to their original home.
D. To improve the local environment for them.
30. What can we learn from Chen Fei's words?
A. Asian elephants are losing their habitats.
B. More forests and farmland need to be restored.
C. The destruction of the local ecology is worsening.
D. Environment affects the migration of the Asian elephants.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to the migration of the elephants?
A. Pessimistic B. Objective C. Optimistic D. Indifferent
D
What if our city streets could act like forests and reduce pollution? Thanks to scientific innovation, roads treated with a new pavement technology can now eat smog and help keep cities cool. Since there is little room for forests in urban areas, where air pollution actually occurs, Pavement Technology Inc. (PTI), together with researchers from Louisiana State University, came up with an asphalt spray (沥青喷雾) called A.R.A.-1 Ti.
The spray's exact composition hasn't been revealed, but it is known to be based on titanium oxide (二氧化钛), a component contained in many sunscreens on the market. When ultraviolet rays(紫外线) from the sun activate this chemical substance, light and heat are absorbed and moved apart. Through a chemical process, titanium oxide also breaks down poisonous substances in the air. “In good conditions, we can achieve a 60% reduction”, said Michael Durante, PTI's vice president of finance and strategic planning. But the spray is not only meant to address overheating and to remove harmful gases produced by cars. It can also make aging asphalt stronger, preventing breaks generated by severe heat.
These impressive characteristics have encouraged several cities in the US to try out the product. The success stories keep adding up. At Orlando International Airport, taxiway pavements that had been sprayed with the titanium dioxide-based composition have already managed to reduce nitrogen oxide(一氧化氮) rates by half. And in Charleston,the pavement treatment is being used in low-income neighborhoods that have many asphalt-coated roads.
The company suggests that while heat shortens pavement life, their product's components can extend it from five to ten years, which translates the pavements into sustainable roads. And although green spaces are still necessary and cannot be fully replaced due to their multiple environmental and health benefits, innovations like A.R.A.-1 Ti are extremely promising. We may expect to see the major benefits it can bring to public health, positively affecting the lives of billions living in urban areas worldwide.
32.What is the function of the asphalt spray according to paragraph 1?
A. To effectively protect forests.
B. To relieve traffic jams in city streets.
C. To reduce urban heat and air pollution.
D. To detect the weather and road conditions.
33.What can we know about the asphalt spray according to paragraph 2?
A. It extends life of roads.
B. It blocks out ultraviolet light.
C. It is produced by sunscreens' components.
D. It may absorb harmful substances in the air.
34.What are examples in paragraph 3 mentioned for?
A. To impress the importance of the invention.
B. To prove the successful application of the spray.
C. To emphasis the necessity of the road treatment.
D. To show the increasing popularity of the product.
35. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. A Major Reform in Urban Construction
B. Green Spaces: The Access to Public Health
C. The Bright Prospect of the Pavement Technology
D. A New Asphalt Spray: The Welfare to Urban Areas
