Frederick Phiri, known as the junk-art king of Zambia, set out on a remarkable journey at the
age of 22 when he began earning an international reputation for being able to make complex and
elegant sculptures from deserted metal found in his community.
Phiri’s path to artistic recognition was filled with challenges. His childhood was marked by
the loss of his father and his mother leaving him behind, making him under the care of his
grandfather. While his grandfather provided for his basic education, Phir faced financial struggles
when he entered secondaryschool, forcing him to take on various jobs to fund his studies. Yet,
despite these obstacles, his passion for art remained growing, and he dedicated his free time to
drawing and crafting in the classroom.
Upon completing his education, Phiri sought to support himself by creating wire animal
sculptures (雕塑品), which he sold to tourists. It was during this period that his exceptional talent
caught the attention of Karen Beattie, the director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization
committed to education and economic development in central Africa.
Teaming up with local welder(焊接工 )Moses Mbewe in 2017, Phiri contributed to the
creation of a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa during the rainy season. Impressed by his
work, Beattie presented Phiri with a challenge: to create art from abandoned waste metal.
Undiscouraged, Phiri embraced the opportunity, transforming forgotten keys, broken bike chains,
and old metal bottles into attracting abstract animal sculptures,including elephants, cranes,
giraffes, and monkeys.
Today, Phiri’s artistic pursuits continue to flourish as he transforms deserted junk into
striking sculptures showcased at the Project Luangwa headquarters. His talent has earned
recognition and admiration from the community, fueling his dreams of pursuing formal art
education at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and creating even more magnificent sculptures in
the future. Through creativity and determination, Phiri has turned adversity (逆境 )into artistic
5
success, leaving a lasting impact on Zambia's art scene.
24. What is Phiri distinguished for?
A. Serving his community. B. Collecting works of art.
C.Being the king of Zambia. D.Turning trash into treasure.
25.What aspect of Phiri’s childhood shaped his early life?
A. His struggle to pay for primary schooling by himself.
B. The loss of his father and abandonment by his mother.
C.His dedication to part-time jobs while attending school.
D. His responsibility to support his grandfather financially.
26.What challenge did Karen Beattie present to Phiri?
A. To create sculptures from wire.
B. To sell his sculptures internationally.
C. To create art from deserted waste metal.
D.To design a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa.

Humans spend approximately one-third of their lives sleeping, which means that by the time
you reach 15 years old, you will have slept for about 5 years! However, the question remains: why
do we do it? Sleep has long been a puzzle for people, leading scientists to explore its mysteries.
They have found that during sleep, our brains and bodies do not simply shut down; instead,
complex processes unfold.
What causes sleepiness? It's caused by our biological clock releasing a special chemical
signal at the same time daily, signaling it’'s time to wind down. The feeling of heaviness comes
from the buildup of old nerve messenger chemicals. When the message gets too much, the brain
senses that it's time to sleep. During sleep, the body breaks down and clears away these old
messengers, preparing for a fresh start.
As you slip into sleep, your heart and breathing slow down, and your brain ignores the most
sounds and surroundings around you. Despite appearances, your brain remains active during sleep,
performing essential tasks. Throughout the night, you cycle through light, deep, and REM(rapid
6
eye movement) sleep stages every 90 minutes. Early on, slow-wave sleep is the primary stage,
aiding in brain cleaning, while towards morning,REM sleep increases, leading to vivid dreams.
During sleep, your body repairs and grows, creating new skin, muscle, and other tissues with
released chemicals. It's also a time for hormone(荷尔蒙)production, aiding growth, and boosting
the immune(免疫)system to fight infections.
Scientists still have many questions about sleep, such as why some people need more sleep
than others and how certain animals can function with less sleep. They aim to find ways to
improve sleep quality. However, one thing is clear: getting enough sleep is vital for health and
intelligence. Think of sleep as a free magic potion that strengthens you, aids growth, boosts
immunity, and enhances intelligence, happiness, and creativity. Simply lie down and rest to enjoy
these benefits.
28.What inference can be drawn from scientists’findings about sleep?
A. Sleep serves no purpose. B. Sleep has fundamental processes,
C. Sleep involves complex processes. D. Sleep has minimal impact on brain function.
29. What is the primary function of the body 's “biological clock?
A. Determining the best time for sleep.
B. Controlling chemicals within the body.
C.Managing eating and digestion patterns.
D. Regulating daytime and nighttime activities.
30.What is the main focus of the third paragraph? birh-yno vist8mxonq
A. Describing the different stages and functions of sleep.
B. Discussing the benefits of daytime activities for overall health.
C. Exploring the effects of inadequate sleep on the body and mind.
D.Analyzing the impact of stress on the immune system during sleep.
31. Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage?
A. Narrative of personal sleep experiences.
B. Comparison of human and animal sleep patterns.
C. Imaginary stories illustrating the advantages of sleep.
D.Explanation of sleep importance, with body processes described.

In a groundbreaking achievement, a rhino has successfully undergone embryo(胚胎) transfer,
marking the first successful use of a method that holds promise for saving the nearly extinct
northern white rhino subspecies.
The experiment, conducted with the less endangered southern white rhino subspecies,
involved creating an embryo in a lab using eggs and sperm(精子) collected from other rhinos.
This embryo was then transferred into a southern white rhino alternative mother in Kenya. Despite
the unfortunate death of the alternative mother due to an infection in November 2023, researchers
praised the successful embryo transfer and pregnancy(怀孕)as a proof of concept. They are now
ready to proceed to the next stage of the project: transferring northern white rhino
embryos. mnhao wan bore aeadtte m
Professor Thomas Hildebrandt expressed optimism about the findings, highlighting the
significance of the successful embryo transfer in demonstrating that frozen and defrosted embryos
produced in a lab can survive. This development offers hope for the revival of the northern white
rhino population.
However, challenges facing rhino conservation remain significant. While the southern white
rhino subspecies and the black rhino species have shown signs of recovery from population
declines due to illegal hunting for their horns(牛角), the northern white rhino subspecies is on the
edge of extinction. With only two known members left in the world, Najin and her daughter Fatu,
both unable to reproduce naturally, and the recent death of the last male white rhino, Sudan, in
2018, urgent action is needed to prevent the extinction of this subspecies. Dr. Jo Shaw, CEO of
Save the Rhino International, emphasized the importance of addressing the primary threats facing
rhinos worldwide: illegal hunting for their horns and habitat loss due to development. She stressed
the need to provide rhinos with the space and security they need to succeed in their natural
environment.
While the successful embryo transfer representsa significant advancement in rhino
conservation efforts, organized action is required to address the main challenges facing rhino
populations worldwide.
32. What is the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the text?
A. To evaluate the efficiency of a new rhino birth program.
B. To observe the behavior of rhinos in a controlled environment.

C.To assess the effects of climate change on the southem rhino habitats.
D. To develop a way of rescuing the endangered northern white rhinos subspecies.
33. Which word can replace the underlined word “revival”in paragraph 3?
A. Rebirth. B. Decline. C.Stability. D. Decrease.
34. What is the current condition of the northern white rhino subspecies? ndvs
A. Facing extinction. B. Showing signs of recovery.
C. Developing in their natural habitat. D.Recovering from population declines
35. What might be the best title of this text?
A.Dr. Jo Shaw’s Call to Action: Addressing Threats to Rhino Survival
B. Challenges Facing Rhino Conservation Efforts: Urgent Action Needed
C.The Successful Embryo Transfer: A Breakthrough in Rhino Conservation
D. Professor Thomas Hildebrandt's Optimism: Hope for Rhino Population Revival
