13、career Ashley Ruiz chose, and shes now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.In 2020, a tornado hit Ruizs hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this coul

14、d be. However, her job isnt without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.”Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patt

15、erns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting

16、 the weather difficult.Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasnt easy.

19、ragraph?ACreative.BClever.CHard-working.DWorld-famous.27In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?ASports.BPeople.CEducation.DHealth.People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to

20、 get into the water by themselves. Its called Seatrac.Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (轻便梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can also help anyone e

21、lse who has a hard time walking, including older people and pregnant women.Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didnt like having to be c

22、arried into the ocean as if he were a sack (袋) of potatoes.Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called T

23、OBEA to build and sell it.The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered. It doesnt require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatr

24、ac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free. The Greek go

25、vernment has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment.

26、their children.DPeople who have trouble moving around on the beach.29What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?AThe system.BPotato.CRamp.DNormal wheelchair.30What can we learn about the Seatrac system?AIts not easy to operate.BUsers dont have to worry about charging it.CPeople need

28、medium-sized local companies.In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isnt created

29、by raising and killing chickens. Instead, its a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat.The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat-raising process. The first cells come from live a

30、nimals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where theyre fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow to look like normal meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat fro

31、m animals.Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the worlds greenhouse gases. Thats why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also hel

32、p out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people arent too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird. But Amy Chen, who works for Upside

33、Foods, says that once people try the meat, “The most common response we get is, Oh, it tastes like chicken.”But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Even though the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far

34、more cheaply.32What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat?AIt is created from animal cells in a laboratory.BIt is cheaper than the normal meat.CAmerica is the first country to approve selling it.DTwo companies are allowed to do research on it.33What is paragraph 5 mainly about?AThe necessity of e

35、ating normal meat.BThe process of creating lab-grown meat.CThe disadvantages of raising animals for food.DThe similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.34What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 6 mean?AEasy.BOrdinary.CStrange.DAttractive.35What is the best title for the text?ALa
