We arrived at the Holiday Hotel in Aruba at about 1:30 a.m. The room was clean and the waiters were friendly. We had two rooms, a standard room for my parents and a single room for me.

Building a country is never easy. It takes hard work from generation (代人) to generation. But how about destroying it? A new report from The Guardian said longtime of climate change can do that, The report said Tuvalu will be the first country to be completely lost due to climate change.
Tuvalu is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12, 000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels, Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater at high tide (潮水). By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater, reported Reuters, So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries.
To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse. The digital (数字化的) country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records, No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have their new identity (身份) and “live” in its online communities. The government hopes to manage and serve them in cyberspace (网络空间).
This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, director of the metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, said it may not be the best solution.
“Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it’s still built on a metaverse platform (平台),” said Li, “Now, the metaverse is not mature, which may bring some problems.” He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not, truly belong to that country? Li added that instead of trying our best to build digital nations, it’s better to pay attention to saving the real world now.
11. To deal with the problem, Tuvalu plans to ________.
A. break the country into several parts B. fight against climate change
C. move the country to another island D. build a digital country online
12. What do we know about Tuvalu in the metaverse?
A. People can find the same buildings as they are now
B. The “new” Tuvalu is larger than the real one.
C. It has no records of culture and history
D. People of the “new” Tuvalu have no communities
13. What is Li Zuxi’s opinion about the news?
A. The metaverse world is safe.
B. He fully supports the rebuilding of Tuvalu.
C. He calls for more countries to enter the metaverse.
D. It’s hard to manage a digital country
14. Which of the followings is NOT true?
A. Tuvalu is under the risk of being flooded by sea water
B. Many people in Tuvalu have moved to other places.
C. People will use their old identities in “new” Tuvalu in the metaverse
D. People should take action to save the real world now.
15. Which is the best title of the story?
A. Metaverse welcomes all countries B. Build homes in cyberspace
C. Recreate online communities D. Make every nation digital
D
Did you know that a seed (种子) can have its own “identity card (身份证)”? The “card” shows that the seed is at the national crop germplasm bank (国家作物种质库) in Beijing, known as China’s seed bank.
A seed’s journey to the seed bank starts with a census (普查). China’s latest census of agricultural seeds started in 2021 and ended in January this year, reported CCTV News. Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country. They then arrived at the seed bank.
When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination” (检测). For example, workers put all kinds of Job’s tears (薏米) from different farms together. Then they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste.
Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV News a seed that had a large insect (虫子) inside it. “A seed like this should not be saved,” he said.
With the bad seeds gone, researchers then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict (预测) their growth. Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they’re stored in a super cold freezer (冰箱) at -18 ℃.
China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring the food security (安全) of the country.
16. What is a census of agricultural seeds?
A. Counting the number of seeds in an area. B. Examining the safety of the country’s seeds.
C. Recording all of the seeds at the seed bank. D. Collecting as many different seeds as possible.
17. In the second step, seeds are put into groups according to their ________.
A. birthplace B. weight C. look or taste D. growth
18. Which step is missing in the journey of a seed to the seed bank?
A. collecting B. saving C. checking D. tasting
19. Why do workers test seeds before putting them into the seed bank?
A. To pick healthy seeds. B. To predict seed growth.
C. To test their temperature. D. To tell different seeds apart.
20. What is the main reason for building the seed bank?
A. To protect our country’s food safety. B. To deal with problems caused by climate change.
C. To know about future agricultural production. D. To learn the development of species.

Tuvalu is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12, 000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels, Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater at high tide (潮水). By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater, reported Reuters, So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries.
To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse. The digital (数字化的) country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records, No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have their new identity (身份) and “live” in its online communities.

This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, director of the metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, said it may not be the best solution.
“Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it’s still built on a metaverse platform (平台),” said Li, “Now, the metaverse is not mature, which may bring some problems.” He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not, truly belong to that country? Li added that instead of trying our best to build digital nations, it’s better to pay attention to saving the real world now.

Did you know that a seed (种子) can have its own “identity card (身份证)”? The “card” shows that the seed is at the national crop germplasm bank (国家作物种质库) in Beijing, known as China’s seed bank.
A seed’s journey to the seed bank starts with a census (普查). China’s latest census of agricultural seeds started in 2021 and ended in January this year, reported CCTV News. Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country. They then arrived at the seed bank.
When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their “physical examination” (检测). For example, workers put all kinds of Job’s tears (薏米) from different farms together. Then they put them into groups according to the seeds’ look or taste.
Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they’re healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV News a seed that had a large insect (虫子) inside it. “A seed like this should not be saved,” he said.
With the bad seeds gone, researchers then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict (预测) their growth. Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they’re stored in a super cold freezer (冰箱) at -18 ℃.
China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring the food security (安全) of the country.
16. What is a census of agricultural seeds?
A. Counting the number of seeds in an area. B. Examining the safety of the country’s seeds.
C. Recording all of the seeds at the seed bank. D. Collecting as many different seeds as possible.
17. In the second step, seeds are put into groups according to their ________.
A. birthplace B. weight C. look or taste D. growth
18. Which step is missing in the journey of a seed to the seed bank?
A. collecting B. saving C. checking D. tasting
19. Why do workers test seeds before putting them into the seed bank?
A. To pick healthy seeds. B. To predict seed growth.
C. To test their temperature. D. To tell different seeds apart.
20. What is the main reason for building the seed bank?
A. To protect our country’s food safety. B. To deal with problems caused by climate change.
C. To know about future agricultural production. D. To learn the development of species.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. C 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了种子是如何进入“种子银行”的以及“种子银行”对国家粮食安全的重要性。

细节理解题。根据“…then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow”可知研究人员会测试好的种子,看看它们生长的可能性有多大。故选B。

细节理解题。根据最后一段“China’s seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring the food security (安全) of the country.”可知中国的种子银行保存着所有种子信息的安全,并帮助人们了解它们。这可以帮助开发新的植物,这些植物可以更好地生长并适应恶劣的环境,从而确保该国的粮食安全。故选A。
