Most major droughts have tended to happen on seasonal or yearly time scales (范围), resulting from variability in large-scale climate patterns such as El Nino. But in the last six decades, there has been a transformation to more droughts that form over just a few weeks in most of the world, researchers of a new study at Nanjing University of Information Science Technology report in Science. This finding has implications for ecosystem conservation and agricultural management.
Some flash droughts develop into seasonal ones, yet even those that do not can cause significant damage to agriculture and contribute to other extreme weather events such as wildfires and heat waves. In the summer of 2012, a severe flash drought across the United States caused over $30 billion in damages. Flash droughts happen two to three times as often in wet regions such as northwest North America, Europe and southern China as elsewhere. Many affected areas transformed from normal conditions to extreme drought within a month,and no climate models predicted it.
As the world continues to warm, causing less rainfall,flash drought frequency is expected to continue to rise. Droughts can happen and strengthen rapidly, but current monitoring systems often cannot catch their beginning on short enough time scales. That makes flash droughts a sort of a hard nut, the researchers say.
“We have to improve these systems,” the lead researcher Yuan Xing says, “by exploring the mechanisms behind flash droughts,perhaps with the help of artificial intelligence.” Dealing with these droughts isn’t just about having a better tool set, Mark Svoboda, who first coined the term “flash droughts”, believes, but also a different mind-set. “It is human nature not to deal with drought until you’re in it. We advocate that drought be dealt with ahead and actively.”
24. What does the study find?
A．Droughts are formed in shorter time. B．Wildlife is adapting to a changing
climate.
C．Climate change began sixty years ago. D．Droughts often happen seasonally or
yearly.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．Reasons for flash droughts. B．Consequences of flash droughts.
C．Regions attacked by droughts. D．Extreme weather caused by droughts.
26. Why do researchers think of flash droughts as a hard nut?
A．They worsen climate change. B．They happen on a global scale.
C．They put agriculture at great risk. D．They are hard to detect in time.
27. What does Svoboda suggest?
A．Keeping a positive attitude. B．Turning to AI for help.
C．Taking measures in advance. D．Bettering existing tools.
Coco Gauff won the U.S. Open women’s title in 2023. Gauff became only the third American teenager to win the national women’s title fo ur years after she rose to fame in the sport by beating Venus Williams, one of her childhood idols, at the Wimbledon Championships when Gaff was just 15 years old.
When Gauff was barely school age she held a tennis racket (球拍) and told her parents that she wanted to be the best player in the world. By the time Gauff was seven, she was training with a tennis professional two hours a day, several days a week. Her father suggested that the family move from Atlanta to Delray Beach, Florida, home to some of the best tennis training camps in the world. At 13, Gauff was the youngest U.S. Open junior girls finalist in history; at 14, she became one of the youngest winners of the French Open junior girls tournament.
The win against Venus Williams in the first round of Wimbledon was a bit of a dreamy moment for both players. Gauff was 15; Williams was 39. Gauff beat Williams in straight sets in a stunning upset. When the competitors met at the net for the traditional handshake, Gauff tried to make the moment special. “I was just telling her thank you for everything she’s done for the sport,” Gauff said at the time.
Despite her age, Gauff demonstrated skills that both set her apart and made her worthy of being mentioned with other tennis genius, including Tracy Austin, Jennifer Capriati, and Andrea Jaeger. Yet her professional career has not been without its setbacks. Since beating Williams in the first round at Wimbledon, she has found herself knocked out in the first round at the 2022 Australian Open and at Wimbledon in 2023. Still, Gauff has shown consistent improvement in her game on the world stage.
28. Why did Gauff’s family move to Delray Beach?
A．For comfortable life. B．For stronger competitors.
C．For better training. D．For further education.
29. How did she make the moment of handshake special?
A．By saying thanks. B．By exchanging rackets.
C．By overcoming upset. D．By asking for instructions.
30. Which of the following words can best describe Gauff?
A．Friendly and outgoing. B．Selfless and determined.
C．Caring and competitive. D．Hardworking and talented.
31. In which section of the magazine can you see the text?
A．Friendship. B．Sport. C．Health. D．Culture. Chancelor Bennett has surprises in store for educators during Teacher Appreciation Week. The Grammy Awards-winning artist is hosting his virtual award show “The Twilight Awards” to surprise 10 teachers and recognize them for their work. He’ll also donate $300,000 to these teachers.
“Most artists want to do the Grammys, but everybody wants to do ‘Sesame Street’,” he said. “It’s because when you’re a kid, you create long-lasting memories of it. Sesame Street’ teaches kids how to count or spell a certain word and influences them forever.” He said the same goes for the work teachers do for children. “The true superstars are these people.”
Chancelor first developed the idea in 2017, after working with educators in Chicago Public Schools.

Chancelor didn’t have the best educational experience. He was kind of written off by some of his teachers due to the Fs on his report card, but it caused him to have a deeper gratitude to the ones that didn’t abandon him. “When I could have gotten kept back or kicked out of school or any number of things, there were quit e a few teachers that helped keep me on track,” he explained.
Aliamer from Sayre Language Academy is among the first educators to be honored. “I asked them a couple of times on the phone if an error was committed,” said Aliamer. The 25-year-old has only
be en teaching for two years. “I don’t think any credit goes to me. It brings me optimism that people are learning to be more empathetic and understanding.”
32. How does Chancelor show the importance of teachers in paragraph 2?
A．By telling a story. B．By making a comparison.
C．By giving examples. D．By explaining reasons.
33. What inspired Chancelor to hold “The Twilight Awards”?
A．His own experience at school. B．Teacher Appreciation Week.
C．The request of Alexander Twilight. D．The activity of his nonprofit.
34. What do we know about Chancelor as a schoolboy?
A．He often skipped class. B．He was treated unfairly.
C．He did poorly in school. D．He was popular with teachers.
35. How did Aliamer feel on hearing her winning the award?

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Inspired by his strong relationship with his own father, William Dunn takes kids without dads out for fishing. William Dunn is the founder of Take a Kid Fishing, Inc., a nonprofit organization in Lakeland, Florida, which focuses on mentoring (指导) underprivileged and fatherless kids through the sport of fishing.
A dozen years ago, William noticed his six-year-old neighbor, Camran, seemed angry. He often stormed out of the house, shouting at the sky. One day, William saw the boy outside and started a conversation. Camran t old him that his dad wasn’t in his life.
William asked Camran’s mom for permission to take him fishing. Camran was attracted by that first trip. The two fished together several times a week, and William saw positive changes in Camran’s
behavior. “That’s when I realized that it was my responsibility to help fatherless kids,” he says. Soon William was teaching Camran’s friends and other kids in the neighborhood to fish.
During the week, William works as a tire salesman. On weekends, he and a few other volunteers, mostly people from his neighborhood, take 20 to 25 kids out for fishing on a boat. William reaches out to local foster homes and group homes to invite the kids to spend the day on the water. Many have never been fishing or even on a boat, so William — or Big Will, as the kids call him — starts by teaching the basics. Then come the life lessons that fishing offers: patience, teamwork and the simple joy of relaxing in the outdoors.
Take a Kid Fishing, Inc. has taken more than 600 fishing trips with over 1,500 kids who don’t have a father in their lives. “They went through a lot and saw a lot, and their lives were difficult,” William says. “But when they were fishing, all of that faded away. On the boat, they’d be laughing, smiling and making new friends,”he says. “I knew I was on to something.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。

Growing up in a poor area in Miami, William helped his dad with a fishing business.
