Kiska, the last captive (圈養(yǎng)的) killer whale in Canada --- als knwn as “the lneliest whale in the wrld” ----has died, accrding t lcal media.
The whale, believed t be 47 years ld, died n March 9, 2023. Ontari’s Slicitr General Ministry spkespersn Brent Rss cnfirmed t CBC. Kiska, wh spent ver fur decades in captivity, lived at Marineland, a z and amusement park in Niagara Falls, after being captured in Icelandic waters in 1979 alngside Keik, the star f the mvie Free Willy. Marineland said that Kiska’s health had declined in recent weeks.
The news cmes fur years after the cuntry fficially banned whales and dlphins frm being bred r held in captivity. Hwever, marine mammals like Kiska that were already held in captivity wuld remain s, accrding t the new law. Kiska’s death marks the end f captive whales in Canada.
Peple fr the Ethical Treatment f Animals (PETA) said Kiska “spent her final years islated in a tank, swimming in endless circles r smetimes flating listlessly.”
Kiska’s life f cntinued islatin led the Whale Sanctuary Prject t describe her as “the lneliest whale in the wrld.”
Bth animal rights grups reprted that Kiska died f a bacterial infectin. Rss tld CBC that animal welfare fficials had cnducted a necrpsy (尸檢) f the mammal.
Kiska underwent several hardships while living at the amusement park, accrding t PETA. These included the deaths f all five f her children and the departure f her sle tankmate Ikaika in 2011. Vides f Kiska slamming her head against her tank wall multiple times began circulating n scial media in 2021.
Kiska was ne f the last survivrs f the Icelandic captures back in the 1970s. She lived the last 12 years f her life cmpletely alng, n ther whales r in fact any ther species were there t keep her cmpany.
“It is heartbreaking t knw that Kiska will never have the chance t be relcated t a whale reserve and experience the freedm that she s deeply deserved.” Camille Labchuk, executive directr f Animal justice, tld CBC.
There are at least 55 killer whales being held in captivity in marine parks arund the wrld, accrding t the Whale and Dlphin Cnservatin. Killer whales are knwn t be very scial mammals and are nt suitable fr captivity. Chrnic stress can weaken the immune system and physilgy f captive killer whales, leading t illness and even death.
Which f the fllwing statement is true abut Kiska?
She died as the last captive killer whale in the wrld.
She was captured in the cean mre than 40 years ag.
She was a star in a film called Free Willy.
She shuld have been set free accrding t a new law passed in 2019.
Why Kiska was referred t as “the lneliest whale in the wrld”?
Because Kiska’s death marks the end f captive whales in Canada.
Because Kiska was kept alne after a bacterial infectin.
Because Kiska lived the last 12 years f her life withut cmpany.
Because all five f Kiska’s children died ahead f her.
What des the underlined wrd listlessly prbably means in the text?
Withut enthusiasm.B. Withut destinatin.
C. Withut breath.D. Withut effrt.
What is the best title f the text?

Nw a cmpany is launching a new rbt n persnal service machines. Rather than keeping yu cmpany at hme, GITA (prnunced Jee-Tah) helps yu g hands-free while yu walk dwn the street, t the grcery stre r t visit yur neighbrs. Like the name, which means “uting” in Italian, the rbtic servant is fr shrt trips ut and abut.
Designed by the Piaggi Grup, the smart device uses five cameras t see yu, fllw yu arund and carry up t 40 punds f yur belngings fr fur hurs. It’s similar t thse rbtic suitcases that trail behind yu at the airprt, but with an entirely different utside. Picture a large cntainer but n wheels. That’s what GITA lks like in the flagship range clr. Imagine having a hi-tech that can fllw yu arund with yur shpping inside. It’s rund and strng yet relatively smart and cnvenient. The rbtic helper is a jy t engage with, srt f like a dg.
Operating GITA is simple. Yu just press ne buttn t turn it n, ne buttn fr the cameras t scan yur legs, and yu’re ff. It actually des pretty gd jb f fllwing yu and recgnizing when yu change directins. Its mvement is ddly natural. When yu speed up it falls behind a bit befre trying t catch up, and when yu stp. it stps-usually. GITA perates best n hard surfaces. Hwever, it can’t g upstairs. It can rll n slight inclines (斜坡) and keep up with a walking persn at speeds up t 6 miles per hur.
A system f sunds and lights will let yu knw whether it is unpaired r needs a charge. And an app lets yu share yur rbt with yur “crew”, s it can fllw them, t. With a speaker, yur GITA can carry candy and play theme music as yu take the kids trick-r-treating.
A USA TODAY tech reprter gave GITA a test run in 2019. He said, “GITA certainly made quite an impressin n passers-by as it rlled dwn New Yrk’s busy Madisn Avenue.” Yet having tech trail behind yu takes sme getting used t. Yu can’t help but lk behind yu t make sure it’s keeping up, smewhat like mnitring a pet.
Fr what purpse is the new rbt designed?
A. T instruct yu where t g.B. T serve yu as yu walk arund.
C. T accmpany yu at hme.D. T prtect yu when yu’re traveling.
29. What des the new rbt prbably lk like?
A. It lks like a ryal dg. B. It has flags and smart panels.
C. It is rund, range and can rll f itself. D. It resembles cameras in appearance.
30. Which f the fllwing is true abut GITA?
A. It can rll up a sharp slpe at a high speed.
B. It can nly recgnize and fllw its wner.
C. It can adjust its pace autmatically.
D. It can play tricks fr children.
31. What can we learn abut GITA frm the last paragraph?
A. Peple are heavily dependent n it.
B. It is far frm being put int use.
C. It is easy t get lst and needs t be imprved.
D. Users have difficulty accustming themselves t it at first.

Salad plants have already been grwn in ld shelters and tunnels. Urban farming is a regular tpic f interest at places like the Wrld Ecnmic Frum (WEF) in Davs, where leaders cnsider whether the wrld’s fd system, blamed fr causing bth besity and malnutritin, can be fixed. There are already plenty f urban farming prjects arund the wrld, particularly in the US, Japan and the Netherlands, frm urban fish and plant farms t vertical farming.
“It’s becming an expanding industry,” said Richard Ballard, ne f the funders f the farm Grwing Undergrund. “There are several ther businesses starting up in Lndn in cntainers, and there are ther vertical farms arund the cuntry nw.”
Grwing Undergrund is nt a standard farm. The rws f crps culd be in almst any tunnel, but these plants are 100 feet belw Clapham High Street and shw that urban agriculture is, in sme cases at least, nt a fad. The undergrund farm has ccupied a part f the Secnd Wrld War air-raid shelters fr nearly five years, and Ballard is planning t expand int the rest f the space later this year.
Grwing Undergrund supplies herb and salad mixes t grcery shps, supermarkets and
restaurants. Being in Lndn creates an advantage, Ballard says, as they can harvest and deliver in an hur.
He adds ther advantages. Being undergrund means temperatures never g belw 15 ----surface greenhuses need t be heated. They can d mre harvests: 60 crps a year, cmpared with abut seven in a traditinal farm. Electricity t pwer the lights is a majr cst, but the cmpany believes renewable energy will becme cheaper.
Similar British cmpanies include the Jnes Fd Cmpany in Linclnshire, while in the US AerFarms has several prjects in New Jersey, and Edenwrks in Brklyn.
What can we learn abut urban farming?
Different farming methds are used.
Lcal gvernments pay effrts t develp it.
C. It leads t a healthier lifestyle.
D. It is rarely discussed at the WEF.
33. Which f the fllwing best explains “a fad” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A. A plan that has great ptential.
B. A traditin that appeals t a lt f peple.
C. An apprach that can slve a serius prblem.
D. A fashin that’s ppular fr a shrt time.
34. Which f the fllwing is true abut the undergrund farm?
A. Its majr prducts are herbs and salads.
B. It prduces mre kinds f fds than a traditinal farm.
C. It is mre prductive than a traditinal farm.
D. It uses less energy than a greenhuse.
35. What is the theme f the text?
A. Traditinal farming will be replaced sn.
B. Grwing Undergrund attracts mre peple.
C. Current fd system causes health prblems.
D. Urban farming is still thught cstly and time-cnsuming.

“Yu dn’t want that ne,” the shelter vlunteer said. “He’s brken. He’d been abandned.” “Brken? Abandned?” I asked. Had I heard her crrectly? I lked dwn at the black cat sitting n my ft. The minute I’d walked int the animal shelter’s cat rm, he’d been ne step behind me, my shadw. I wasn’t an expert, but this cat seemed friendly.
The vlunteer explained, “he desn’t like anyne ----nt ther cats, nt dgs, nt peple. “I want t adpt him,” I said.
“Really?” she asked. There were several ther lvely cats up fr adptin, cats that wuld be easier fr a first-time wner. “Why?”
“Because he needs a hme,” I said. Then under my breath, “And because I’m brken t.” It was 2017. I’d been in therapy (心理治療) fr a while, but it was nly recently that my therapist suggested I get an animal cmpanin ----preferably smething lw-maintenance, like a cat. It wuld be gd fr me. Maybe it can even help me frm cnnectins with peple. I didn’t knw if I believed that. But I went t my lcal shelter.
I dn’t knw what it was abut that little black cat, but I immediately felt a cnnectin with him. Tw abandned peas in a pd, I guess. I filled ut the paperwrk and left with him that afternn.
At hme I let him ut f the carrier s he culd explre. I watched as this little cat smelled every inch f the huse. Eventually, his curisity was satisfied, and he settled in my lap. I reached ut a hesitant hand t pet him, saying, “Yu need my help, and I need yurs.”
It tk me a week t cme up with a name fr him. I finally settled n Mr. Bjangles, after the sng abut a hmeless man wh, even after getting int big truble, remained happy and psitive. I thught the name fitted this cat. Later I called him B fr shrt.
