Hands up,who’s rubbish at drawing?Ha!Bet you’re not as bad as me.
Like most during lockdown,I misd being in familiar green city spaces.A quick snap(照片) on my phone never quite captured the moment.So I was excited to find“green sketching”ssions near my home.This emed a perfect Covid-safe activity,even for the untalented.
Our group was all women,with some having had previous artistic training.We were given art supplies and then t drawing exercis to help us get creative.
This type of art,“green sketching”,was inspired by environmental scientist Dr Ali Foxon.Ali thought that spreading the joy of sketching could be the key to making people care about nature instead of just wordy reports.She launched her movement,Boggy Doodles(沼泽涂鸦),in2016.
The day we were there the forest was glorious—all gold,yellow and brown.We spent the last hour trying to capture a forest scene.Hoping not to embarrass mylf too much,I made a real effort to catch the dark and brighter areas of the trunks,their textures(纹理).I ud an erar to create the white shape of a silver tree in the distance.Mine looked more like a winter scene—I hadn’t managed to capture the autumn leaves or the branches.But when the five of us brought our work together at the end,I wasn’t too ashamed:mine was only just the worst.
I had loved this chance for a real and physical creative experience—I can’t be the only one to feel sad at the prospect of a new lockdown.Sketching calms a busy,anxious mind and trains the
brain to notice“little things”that spark joy and help strengthen us against life’s challenges.While engaging with nature may well make us keener on protecting it—in Robert Macfarlane’s words,“We
will not save what we do not love and we rarely love what we cannot name or do not e”—the benefits of sketching work the other way round.
24.Why did the author take part in the“green sketching”activity?
A.Her friends advid her to do so.
B.She needed something to kill time.
C.She was eager to return to green spaces.
D.She wanted to improve her painting skills.
25.What can we learn about the“green sketching”activity?
A.It was launched by Dr Ali Foxon.
B.It was well-received after being held in2016.
C.It required the participants to write a report afterwards.
D.It was aimed at raising public awareness of environmental protection.
26.How did the author feel about her“green sketching”experience?
A.She was ashamed that she didn’t take it riously.
B.She felt embarrasd that her work was the worst.
C.She was fascinated by the winter scene in the forest.
D.She enjoyed herlf even though she was poor at painting.
27.What does the author want to convey with Robert’s words?
A.Sketching can strengthen one’s creativity.
B.Doing things we love brings us happiness
C.The first step to protecting nature is to engage with it.
D.It often takes a calm mind to overcome challenges in life.

There goes the proverb,“The early bird catches the worm.”It has been proven that early bird really does catch the worm,but he saves it for dinner.The Oxford University rearchers believe the strategy allows them to stock up on food while it helps avoid falling the victims to predators(捕食者).
A full belly in the morning would slow them down in the hunt for food and make them easy prey.So they arch out food when they are lean and light and then dine in the evening to ensure they have a big enough store of fat to survive the night.
The“early bird”strategy was revealed in an experiment in which over2,000birds were fitted with tiny radio tags which activated when they landed on feeders hidden in Wytham Woods,near Oxford.The feeders were moved around over the cour of the day and the rearchers noted when the birds landed on them.
“Our results show the birds display very different patterns of food discovery in the morning and afternoon;very few new food sources were found during the afternoon,whereas nearly every new food source we put out during the morning was quickly discovered.”This revealed that the birds were much better at finding the feeders new locations in the morning. However,they waited until the evening to feast on the worms.
The rearchers said the complex strategy acts as an insurance policy,with birds remaining light yet still able to get enough fat to survive the night.It is particularly important in winter when
the risks of predation are high and just one day without food can make the difference between life and death for small birds.
28.What does the underlined phra“stock up on”in Paragraph1mean?
A.store up.
B.dispo of.
C.throw away.
D.eat and digest.
29.How did the rearchers conduct the experiment?
A.By comparing the data collected.
B.By referring to the previous rearch papers.
C.By conducting a random survey in the woods.
D.By obrving the birds’habits of catching worms.
30.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Birds have a better appetite in the morning.

B.Birds prefer to hunt for food in the morning.
C.Birds won’t hunt for food unless they are hungry.
D.Birds hunt as frequently in the morning as in the afternoon.
31.Why do birds adopt a unique and complex eating habit?
A.Becau it can help them cope with food shortage.
B.Becau they do this for curity reasons in a n.
C.Becau they can’t eat up all the food they have caught.
D.Becau there are more worms available in the morning.

Industrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population.But small farms of about25acres or less produce over70percent of the world’s food. To rai awareness of the contribution of the farmers,a global photo exhibition,We Feed the World,is to open on October12in London.
“Industrial agriculture,which mainly focus on a few types of crops,is not the only answer,”says art director Francesca Price.“We want the images to empower people to support their local food system.”
By growing traditional and non-commercial varieties,small farms support biodiversity and increa food curity.With only12plants and five animal species making up75percent of what the world eats,food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and dia outbreaks. However,traditional farming communities are working to prerve their ancient ed diversity.
Keeping variety alive is very important in the face of climate change.In the future, rearchers might
need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer,stormier,or drier weather,or to save a prized variety from dia.
Contrary to the fal impression held by the public,small farms that practi traditional agriculture can be highly productive.Studies show that the output of crops ris when there’s a wider diversity of crops being grown on a farm,and money is saved since the need for harmful fertilizer and other chemicals is reduced.
“The photographs of family farmers may tell just a few local stories,but the message is universal,”says photographer Cheryl Newman.“I hope that the images will leave viewers thinking deeply about where their food comes from and the impact it has on the world around us.”
32.What is the purpo of the photo exhibition?
A.To help small farmers to ll their produce.
B.To show the challenges faced by small farmers.
