26、Mr. Jafri is a 44-year-old artist from England. In 2020, as COVID-19 spread and many countries went into lockdown, Mr. Jafri was in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Rather than feeling stuck because he was unable to move on. Mr. Jafri decided to take on a huge project that could “make a really big difference”.
He decided to create the world’s largest painting. And he wanted to do it in a way that would involve people from around the world. He asked children who are fond of drawing to send him pictures showing how they were feeling during the pandemic (流行病). He got artwork from kids in 140 different countries. Using the children’s ideas as a starting point. Mr. Jafri began to paint.. .
Mr. Jafri hoped that his painting, called “The Journey of Humanity”, would help bring the world together during the difficult time. He tried to keep the ideas from the children’s pictures in his mind. He even included the children’s drawings in the artwork.
When he finished the painting in September. 2020. he had set a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest painting. The painting was roughly the size of four basketball courts.

Andre Abdoune, an influential French businessman. purchased all 70 sections of canvases (画布).“I was impressed by the visual effects of the painting when I saw it,” Mr.Abdoune said. ”And for me, it would have been a mistake to separate the pieces.”

28、China is known for its long history, rich culture, and cute pandas. It’s also known for some of the worst air quality in the world. But the Asian country is now using a natural weapon against air pollution – trees.
In February, China’s government announced plans to cover at least 32,400 square miles with forest. That is about the size of Ireland. Some 60,000 soldiers will take charge of the tree-planting program. Most of the trees will be planted in Hebei Province. That is an area surrounding China’s capital, Beijing.
Huang Wei is an environmentalist who works for Greenpeace East Asia. She is optimistic about the plan. “Trees act as a sink to absorb carbon dioxide and other pollutants,” she said. Carbon dioxide is a gas that traps the Earth’s heat. It contributes to global warming.
Why is China’s air filled with harmful chemicals? It’s because the country relies on coal-fired power plants. When coal is burned, PM2.5 is produced, PM2.5 is a pollutant. It can cause shortness of breath, heart attacks, and even death.
Just two years ago, pollution levels were so high in Beijing that schools and factories had to close. Huang hopes China’s tree-planting plan will reduce the nation’s suffering from air pollution.
The Chinese government is getting help from others in its drive to make the nation greener. Stefano Boeri is an Italian architect and urban planner. He is leading an effort to plant vertical(垂直的)forests in China.
Boeri’s designs have already taken root in the city of Nanjing, China. That’s where the Nanjing Green Towers are under construction. The building has two towers. Thousands of trees and hanging plants will grow on the balconies and rooftops.
Boeri says his goal is to design buildings that help the environment and improve air quality. He also hopes to encourage a new generation of green architects.
【1】What’s China’s solution to the air pollution problem?
A.Closing the factories.
B.Planting more tress.
C.Using natural gas.
D.Making more rules.
【2】What’s the Huang Wei’s attitude to the new plan?
A.Puzzled.
B.Confident.
C.Uncertain.
D.Unconcerned.
【3】Which of the following can best replace the phrase “contributes to” in paragraph 3?
A.leads to
B.attaches to
C.gets close to
D.looks forward to
【4】What’s special about Boeri’s building design in China?
A.It is environmentally friendly.
B.It is based on classical buildings.
C.It often features two towers.
D.It aims to save public space.
29、Nowadays, many people go on diets and work out to keep a good figure. But do you know that your house may have an effect on your figure? Some experts say how you design your home could play a part in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Draw the curtains aside and turn on the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes, big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
