2. The storm hit, bringing three feet of snow down and cutting off our power. So, though it was around noon, actually still daylight, there was little we could do. We were put into darkness. No television, no heat, no light. No nothing. This was back in the days when people relied on radios only in such situations.
Grandpa Charlie gathered up his winter coat, scarf, and gloves, and disappeared into the snow. A few minutes later, he returned, with wood under his arms. Looking at my brother and me, he said, “Come on, boys. Time to build a fire.”
But the enthusiasm(热情)for the fire wasn't enough to keep the attention of two young boys, and we were soon badgering Grandpa repeatedly as to what was next. "There's no TV, Grandpa,” I complained, “what are we going to do?”
“Let's go camping.” Grandpa said.
It took us only minutes to get our sleeping bags, pillows, and toy animals back. When we returned, Grandpa had rearranged the furniture, clearing an open space in front of the fire. In short order, we had a fine campground.
“Now then,” Grandpa began, unfo lding(打开)a strange-looking game board, “who's up for a little game of checkers(跳棋)?”
For the next hour or so, Grandpa coached us on the fine art of playing checkers. I became a fair player after losing four games in a row. Then, remarkably, I beat Grandpa. When I asked him if he had let me win, he just smiled and set the board up for the next game.
Checkers was soon followed up with the game Hangman. Afterward, Grandpa found his old guitar and sang us some campfire songs. My brother and I did not know the words exactly but we could sing along.
And then, something terrible happened. The power came back on. Mom and Dad gave a cheer. But my brother and I stood there and didn't move. Grandpa looked at us, smiled, and then slowly, he walked across the room to the light switch and turned it off.

3. Eastern barred bandicoots(加氏袋狸) once were a common sight in western Victoria and in south Australia. But by the 1980s, just one population of between 150 and 200 bandicoots survived.
In 1988, the Victoria state government formed a recovery team that brought together government agencies, Zoos Victoria, volunteer groups and other people. That year, scientists removed 40 bandicoots from this population to form a captive breeding(圈养繁殖) program. Soon after, eastern barred bandicoots disappeared from the wild in Victoria. The only remaining breeding population existed in small fences at Woodlands Historic Park. “Without the captive program, the species would be extinct.” scientists say.
Breeding was one thing. Re-establishing wild populations was altogether more difficult. Six times captive-born bandicoots were set free into the wild. All six reintroductions failed when foxes killed the bandicoots.
What changed everything was the reintroduction of bandicoots to Phillip Island in 2017 and French Island in 2019. Fox-free French and Phillip islands offered just over 70 square miles of bandicoot habitat, and the bandicoots have already begun breeding and expanding(扩大) their range across these islands.
After scientists had established populations on islands, researchers looked to expand their efforts to open grasslands. In 2015, David Williams began training his Maremma dogs. The idea worked this way: Because bandicoots lived alone, the dogs would look after sheep in large open grasslands where bandicoots lived. As long as there were sheep in the bandicoots’ territory(领地), the dogs remained, and as long as the dogs were around, the foxes were far less likely to remain.
Over the past two years, the recovery team has reintroduced 40 bandicoots into two places in western Victoria, with two to three Maremma dogs and hundreds of sheep at each site to keep them company. Scientists can’t yet say whether the experiment is working. But some of the bandicoots have bred, and there are signs suggesting that foxes, if they pass through the area, hardly stay for long.
1. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A.The 1988 captive breeding program saved the species.
B.Eastern barred bandicoots became extinct in the wild.
C.The government played a role in protecting the species.
D.Combined efforts made a difference to the environment.
2. What led to the deaths of the reintroduced bandicoots?
A.Lack of enough food.
B.Loss of habitats.
C.Threats from natural enemies.
D.Lack of experience in the wild.
3. Why did William train the Maremma dogs?
A.To take good care of his sheep.
B.To make them rulers of the grassland.
C.To make the grassland more lively.
D.To protect bandicoots from foxes.
4. What can be inferred about the program in western Victoria?
A.It has completely failed.
B.Its result remains to be seen.
C.It turns out an immediate success.
D.Its process needs to be revised.

4. In late May, America announced a plan to produce more offshore(近海的)wind energy along the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts, with the final goal of adding enough clean energy to supply power to 10 million homes by 2030. But is it practical?
Those answering yes to this question understand that creation is the key to completing the project successfully. Unlike the open grassland and rounded hills, analyzing the seafloor situation for proper placement isn't a simple exercise. With only 20%
of the ocean seafloor mapped, we know more about the surface of Mars than we do Earth's hidden depths.
The new company Bedrock is aiming to help solve this problem by detecting the seas with its new electric autonomous underwater vehicles(AUV, 水下自动机器人). Traditional ocean mapping skills are ship-based, usually limited to the surface. Thus, traditional sea surveys can take up to a year to collect and process data. But Bedrock's AUVs send data to a place where the computers start working with the results right away and from anywhere in the world.
While using AUVs to map the seafloor helps improve our understanding of Earth's oceans, Bedrock is careful that this do not damage sea life. The company uses smaller sensors that are close to the seafloor and operate in sound frequencies(声呐频率)safe for animals. In addition, the AUVs only travel at about 2. 3 mph to 3. 45 mph, which reduces the chance of animal or environmental damage as they are moving.
Beyond the offshore wind industry, Bedrock is also exploring other ways its AUVs might benefit other undersea efforts. "Currently our AUV surveys are designed for offshore wind projects and nearshore environmental mapping for coastal management," says Bedrock's CEO and co-founder DiMare. "In the future, we're also capable of serving new markets, helping to make government goals a reality.”
1. Why is the surface of Mars mentioned in paragraph 2?
A.To prove how fast technology advances.
B.To show it's a challenge to map the seafloor.
C.To predict how important clean energy will be.
D.To explain it's necessary to fix wind turbines.
2. What advantage does Bedrock's AUV mapping have over traditional skills?
A.It processes data faster. B.It is more energy-saving.
C.It collects data in many ways. D.It sends data in greater amount.
3. What can be learned about Bedrock's AUVs from the last two paragraphs?
A.They have served new markets. B.They are environmentally-friendly. C.They are equipped with newer sensors. D.They can travel very fast in the sea. 4. What is DiMare's attitude to the future of AUVs?
A.Cautious. B.Unclear. C.Doubtful. D.Confident.
5. Youth sports can teach young players a lot more than how to play basketball or run faster.    1    These sportsmanship values are just as important as the development of athletic skills. Thus, coaches must drill(灌输)positive values into children with strict athletic training. There are several important pieces of advice that should be kept in mind in coaching.
