It covers many different kinds of birds, including colourful birds in Latin America and Africa, as well as those living in the forests of North America and Europe. Crofut-Brittingham always paints wildlife with watercolours and thinks carefully about how humans can fit into the natural world. Her art lets us imagine the future where we live in balance with nature. She wrote the book to inspire people to care more about birds. Besides its pretty pictures, each bird comes with a set of fun facts, detailing its special habits, cultural influence, and even its stories. “I worked on this for a long time. It finally became a real thing and I can share it with you all,” Crofut-Brittingham wrote online. Every page of the book shows how much she loves nature, art, and telling stories.

Maps of different forests around the world C Deep in the forests of southern Sweden, there is a wooden cabin (小木屋) that offers visitors a very quiet experience. Visitors to the cabin are required to keep all sounds below 45 decibels (分贝) — about as quiet as a library. Anyone who makes too much noise is asked to leave. This is part of a tourism project called “Stay Quiet”. Its purpose is to help people get away from the noise of daily life and enjoy the peace of nature. However, this experience is not open to everyone. The organisers started an international open call and invited people from around the world to apply for a free stay in the cabin last year. Out of over 200 applicants, only three pairs were chosen to take part in the project. Studies show that staying in noisy places for a long time can increase blood pressure and the risk of heart disease, and even affect memory and concentration (专注力). Noisy environments can also make people feel more worried and tired. But spending time in nature helps us feel calm, think clearly and rest, and it can also reduce physical stress. Inside the cabin, there are no TVs, no phones, and no internet. Visitors cook their meals over an open fire, walk through the forest, and do simple activities like writing letters to their future selves. There is nothing but nature and silence. The organisers hope the idea of “Stay Quiet” can change the way people think about travel. They encourage people to slow down instead of rushing through busy travel plans and to discover the value of silence. ( ) 31. What are visitors required to do in the cabin? A. To learn about the project. B. To share their experiences. C. To walk through the forest. D. To keep sounds below a certain level. ( ) 32. Why was the “Stay Quiet” project started? A. To offer a break from daily noise. B. To show the value of silent travel. C. To offer a free holiday to winners. D. To study what people do in silence. ( ) 33. What does nature help people do according to studies? A. Become more social. B. Feel calm and think clearly. C. Lower blood pressure quickly. D. Improve memory in a short time. ( ) 34. How do the organisers hope to change people’s travel habits? A. By encouraging slower travel experiences. B. By asking people to travel without phones. C. By offering free trips to quiet natural places. D. By building more wooden cabins worldwide. ( ) 35. Which of the following can visitors do in the wooden cabin? A. Watch TV in their free time B. Use mobile phones to surf the Internet C. Cook food on an open fire D. Call their family members anytime 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Interviewer: Most of us try to avoid natural disasters, not to rush into them.

Although he explored plants in many countries, his trips to China became the most important part of his work. Wilson first set foot in China in 1899 to look for the beautiful dove trees, known as “the giant panda of the plant world”. He successfully found them and collected their seeds. However, it was not until 1911 that these dove trees finally bloomed in the UK. Later, Wilson made three more trips to China between 1903 and 1910. He collected a large number of seeds and plants that were unknown outside China. Wilson spoke highly of China and described it as “the mother of world gardens”. Wilson’s work not only helped the world see China’s wonderful plants, like the dove tree, but also built a bridge for the study of plants between China and the West. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
