A Senegal man is attempting to prove he can build and sell drones(无人机)in his home country. Mamadou Wade Diop has experience working with drones in the photography and health industries. In fact, he is one of the few people in Senega's capital Dakar who can repair them.
But recently, he decided to take his knowledge of the devices a step further.
Diop's goal is to use local materials and skilled workers in Senegal to make the drones. However, not all of the necessary materials are available right now. But Diop wants to prove that it is possible to make the technology in his home country. Diop says he has been able to learn from other drone makers in France and China through the Internet. He has learned about their experiences to help him progress with his home-grown drone project. Diop plans to build his first locally-produced drone for use in the health industry. The drone will be designed to spread chemicals to prevent mosquito reproduction. Mosquitoes can carry and spread serious diseases.
One of the materials needed for Diop's drone is a carbon fiber that is not available in Senegal. He says he ordered the material from China, but then worked with local iron workers to shape the pieces for his drone. He got aluminium(铝 ) from a broken refrigerator to form part of the body for his drone.
Mamadou Diallo, the owner of a photography shop, said there is not a large market for drones in Senegal
right now but demand for the flyers is rising. Diallo says he wants to support Diop's efforts to create the first “Made in Senegal” drone. Diop welcomes the help, saying it is important to start making drones locally before foreign companies come in and begin selling them at much higher prices.
24. What can we learn about Diop?
A. He has built drones successfully.
B. He has a good knowledge of drones.
C. He's skilled in repairing electronics.
D. He once received professional training.
25. What has Diop done for local drones?

A. Promising.
B. Adventurous.
C. Disappointing.
D. Worthless.

It could be the return of "The Blob（变形怪体）," and scientists are worried. A mass of warm water extending from Baja California in Mexico all the way to Alaska and the Bering Sea could result in death for many sea lions and salmon, as well as poisonous algae（藻）blooms that can poison mussels（贻贝）,crabs and other sea life. When it happened in 2014 it was known as "The Blob” and disturbed sea life between Southern California and Alaska. Now it's back. The ocean heat wave began to form in June.
The surface temperatures in the affected areas are 5 to 7 degrees above the long-term average. The so-called blob（—团）covers an area of 4 million square miles, or three times the size of Alaska. It's 165 to 325 feet deep. The warming comes from some high pressure that keeps winds calm.
Whether it will last as long as the 2014 heat wave is impossible to know. "If the weather patterns that led to its development change all of the sudden and we get some cold weather and storms, then it could disappear pretty quickly,” said Stephanie Moore.
The heat waves are unprecedented. Satellite records go back about 40 years and ship observations 100 years, but nothing in the historical record has matched either of these two events.
Along the California coast, the blob-like warm areas are still about 1,000 miles away from shore.
In Washington state, the warm area has reached the shore, where it is causing a poisonous algae bloom that has prompted health officials to warn against eating mussels from state beaches.
Mussels have been collected on Washington shores that contained more than 10 times the regulatory limit of the toxin for human consumption. The warm area that continued to exist off the West Coast in 2014 and 2015 wasn't something scientists had seen before.
28. What do we know about "The Blob” ？
A. It occurred frequently in the USA.
B. It made sea products unfit to eat.
C. It was the most severe pollution.
D. It struck the Bering Sea per summer.
29. What resulted in "The Blob” ？
A. Ocean surface.
B. Warm wind.
C. High air pressure.
D. Alaskan's climate.
30. What does the underlined word "prompted” in Para. 6 mean?
A. Caused.
B. Intended.
C. Banned.
D. Expected.
31. In which column may the text appear in a paper?
A. Entertainment.
B. Culture.
C. Science.
D. Environment.
D
For years, many Americans have thought of owning their home as part of the American dream, but whether that includes dividing a single family home into two will be tested in some communities, especially in dense （集的）areas.
Samirah, a lawmaker, proposed a bill to let homeowners divide a single family house into two homes. "After the local approval process they can create their two families,” he said. That's happening on the West Coast, Oregon being the first state in the country to ban single-family zoning last July.
Planning experts and local officials say there are costs to developing land outside cities, including harmful effects on the environment and increased demand for public services.
Moving away from single-family zoning won't be easy. At some level, that development pattern is uniquely American. People who have lived and grown up in suburban developments have a strong preference for that. The average size of American houses has doubled since the 1950 s. In 2019, the average size of a new single family home was 240 square meters. Americans clearly like their space, 80% of those questioned saying they desire a separate single-family home.
Lots of younger households are looking for smaller homes in walkable neighborhoods. " Increasingly, the development community is beginning to recognize that and thinking about ways to build those environments, ” says Robert Parker, a director at the University of Oregon.
Samirah expects some people will worry their neighborhoods could become less
desirable. But he says changing the rules will give people a chance to make money from renting out parts of their home. And for older Americans on a fixed income, bringing in more money may help them stay in place.
Samirah adds that the suburban way of life is going to be there for generations.
32. What did Samirah put forward?
A. A bill allowing people to divide family houses.
B. A process for locals to get approval for shelters.
C. A strict ban on building single-family houses.
D. A suggestion to develop suburban areas in the US.
33. Why is it difficult to change single family houses?
A. Land is scarce for the construction of many cottages.
B. The average size of single houses has been reduced.
C. Most Americans wouldn't rent part of their houses.
D. A majority of Americans prefer single family houses.
34. What can we infer from Robert's words?
A. He has succeeded realizing his American dream.
B. He wants the suburban way of life to go on for long.
C. He's hopeful of the future of dividing family houses.
D. He sees the harm of single houses to the environment.
35. Which of the following can be the title for the text?
A. Single Family Homes Are Losing People's Favor
B. American Family Homes Are Changing Trends
C. Single Family Homes Are Appealing to the Young
D. Traditional Family Houses Are Standing Firm

Whatever the ultimate improvement desired is in order to achieve it, you may benefit from identifying your specific goals, making changes, and dealing with setbacks.
37 Thinking about future positive and negative possibilities enhances （增强）motivation, expectation of successful goal completion, and commitment to self-improvement. Thinking about a positive future helps you imagine a reality of where you are the best self you can be, while imagining a negative reality results in an awareness of what might happen if you do not meet your improvement goals.
Determine what needs improvement and what doesn't. It is important to be specific in your goals, and to know which goals are a top priority.
Identify your assets （honest, hard-working, loving, etc. ）and your liabilities （惹麻烦的事）（angry, overweight, etc. ）. 38
Prioritize your list of goals. Rate each goal from 1 - 10, 10 being the highest priority for you. Focus on this goal first.
