C Scientists in South Africa have found that ceramic (瓷的) nest boxes can protect endangered African penguins from climate change. In the past, the penguins laid eggs in holes dug into centuries-old layers of their own droppings, most of which was shipped by traders to the United Kingdom as fertilizer (肥料) in the 1800s. Since then, many penguins have nested in the open, exposing their eggs and themselves to the burning heat. Because penguins evolved to keep heat in cold water, they can easily overheat on land. Typically, penguins leave their nests regularly to cool off in the sea. But without proper holes, this leaves their eggs unprotected. Since 1900, the African penguin population has dropped from three million to only 48,000. Fortunately, a team of researchers seem to have found a way. Over the past years, the team has put more than 1,500 handmade ceramic nest boxes in five areas where the penguins live, including Bird Island in Algoa Bay, South Africa, which is home to nearly half of the world’s remaining African penguins. Looking like small round houses, the double-walled ceramic nests can keep African penguins cool. “The nests are so useful,” says Welman, a zoologist, “Even if adults had to leave nests for some reason, their eggs would never be at any risk of overheating.” Christina Hagen of Bird Life South Africa, who was not part of the study, says finding effective conservation solutions is important given the decreasing population of African penguins. The main threat to African penguins is overfishing of anchovy and sardines, the penguins’ favorite food. Scientists and conservationists are pushing the South African government to close commercial fishing around the five African penguin breeding (繁殖) colonies until populations recover. But without protection from rising temperatures, those efforts alone may not be enough. Ceramic nests could help to give these beloved penguins a fighting chance. 28. What can we learn about African penguins from the passage? A. They well adapt to high temperatures. B. They are mainly threatened by pollution. C. They are suffering a lot from overheating. D. They have a population of over three million. 29. Why is Bird Island special to African penguins? A. There is a vast population of African penguins. B. It enjoys the best climate for African penguins. C. African penguins there can nest in the open. D. There are holes for penguins to lay eggs. 30. What is the main function of the ceramic nest boxes? A. To allow the penguins to stay cool inside. B. To protect the penguins from being hunted. C. To provide a place for the penguins to rest. D. To save enough room for the adult penguins. 31. What additional measure is being proposed to protect African penguins? A. Creating more nesting areas for the penguins. B. Stopping people fishing where the penguins breed. C. Introducing new species of fish for the penguins. D. Providing man-made cooling facilities for the penguins. D I have quite a bit of experience with Toastmasters, an organization aiming to help people overcome speech anxiety. I joined many years ago with the hope of improving my public speaking. After one of my speeches, the comments I received were harsh. Constructive or not, the critique was hard to take. I felt my feelings were hurt. I learned many things from my time with Toastmasters, and one was the value of good feedback. Welcoming the critique of others is hard for adults, even when it’s well-intentioned. So naturally, we can expect that children will also struggle with it. But the feedback our children receive from teachers and parents is important to their growth and development. So as parents, we must learn how to deliver our feedback effectively, and we’ll need to train our children on how to accept it with openness and wisdom. The way parents deliver their feedback is as important as the specific words used. It’s possible to have good intentions, but when feedback is poorly given, it can be harmful and not helpful. It’s important to create a welcoming, safe environment in the home for intaking and processing feedback. Especially between a child and parent, the feedback needs to be healthy, constructive and regular. The words used are also important. In a New York Times article written by Dr. Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School, he shares that it is “22 to 29 percent more effective” to encourage children with nouns than verbs, but when it comes to giving negative feedback, it’s generally better to use verbs. A parent’s feedback provides the scaffolding (脚手架) for how a child will manage their inner monologue. Consider, as an example, a discussion you may have with your child about their goals. Your feedback can encourage them not just to focus on where they are now but to reflect on how far they’ve come. This kind of feedback can spur them on to reach the finish line. 32. Why does the author mention his experience with Toastmasters? A. To tell us what is good feedback. B. To tell us to join Toastmasters. C. To show the main function of feedback. D. To show the necessity of proper feedback. 33. Which of the following feedback is effective according to Dr. Adam Grant? ① You’re a big helper. ② You’re a poor math learner. ③ You’ve been helpful this afternoon. ④ You didn’t do well on this math test. A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ③④ 34. What does the underlined word “spur” in the last paragraph mean? A. Limit. B. Monitor. C. Persuade. D. Inspire. 35. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. The way to respond to feedback B. The value of accepting feedback C. How to give effective feedback D. How to become a better speaker 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 This year, the world celebrates a century of Disney magic, starting from a small animation studio to one of the most influential entertainment (娱乐) companies in the world. ___36___.
