At the age of 17 years and 64 days, Mack Rutherford, a British boy, has become the youngest person to fly around the world alone! Mack's journey around the world lasted five months and he flew across 52 countries in total. His record - breaking flight began in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, on 23 March, 2022. He was 16 years old when he took off and celebrated his 17th birthday by himself on his plane.
Mack faced many challenges during his adventure. Because of his small - sized aircraft, he had to land whenever the weather got too terrible. However, at some points he couldn't land, for example, when flying non - stop for 10 hours over an ocean. At other points, he faced extremely hot weather. In Sudan, a country in Africa, Mack also faced sandstorms which made it hard for him to see where he was going. Mack fought strong winds and pouring rain during his flight, but he never stopped smiling, joking and updating(更新) his condition on social media along the way, and managed to expertly pilot his plane to safety.
And if Mack's surname Rutherford sounds familiar, it's because his elder sister Zara also flew around the world earlier this year, and still holds one record! They were inspired by their parents to become pilots. "I have known for certain I wanted to fly since I was eleven," Mack said. "My dad Sam is a professional pilot, and my mum Beatrice is a recreational private pilot."
Mack hopes to inspire young people to begin working towards their own goals. " No matter what background you have, I believe it is never too early to work towards your dreams and that you shouldn't limit(限制) yourself by others' expectations." With both feet firmly back on the ground now, it's time for Mack to turn his attention towards catching up on his schoolwork!

C
(国际视野) According to a latest survey by the Swiss international education company, which measures the English proficiency(熟练) of 2.2 million people in 113 countries, the English language proficiency of the youth is dropping.
Results were reported by age group for the first time in 2015. Since that time, the English proficiency of people aged 18 to 20 and people aged 21 to 25 has decreased by 89 points and 5 points respectively. The survey refers to young people as being 18 to 20 years of age, and it notes that their proficiency is mostly stable(稳定的) with big decreases in only a few large countries. Both Mexico and Argentina are drivers of the worldwide drop among 18 - to 20 - year - olds since 2015. However, working adults, about 26 years old and older, have been improving their English since 2015. It is still widely believed that the value of a shared language is most recognized in the workplace. English creates possibilities for people and productivity for organizations.
The report also shows a difference between men and women, which is called a gender(性别) gap. Men's English ability has improved by 14 points since 2015, while women's has decreased by 19 points. The lack of women in international jobs is one reason for the gender gap of working adults. But the gender gap among those aged 18 to 25 might show a problem caused by educational systems themselves or a social problem schools are failing to solve.
There are different opinions about why the decrease happens. Many people think artificial intelligence (or AI) tools could also be a reason. Jeannie Tse is a country manager of a world's leading learning company. She thinks that while AI has changed the way young people work and learn, the importance of schools, teachers and face - to - face instruction remains. According to her, AI can't completely take the place of language learning, but educators can use AI to improve language learning methods. " Learning a language provides understanding of new ideas as well as better understanding of people. These skills remain beyond the reach of AI," the report said.
28. Who has had an increased English proficiency since 2015?
A. Women aged 18 to 25.
B. Men aged 18 to 20.
C. Working adults aged 26 and over.
D. The youth in Mexico and Argentina.
29. What can we infer about the gender gap from paragraph 3?
A. It can be bridged by offering free education.
B. It shows a social problem caused by schools.
C. It pushes women to get more international jobs.
D. It is caused by different factors among different groups.
30. What is Jeannie Tse's attitude towards AI's influence on language learning?
A. Objective.
B. Doubtful.
C. Approving.
D. Unclear.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Young people's attitudes towards English vary
B. English learning has become a duty worldwide
C. A new survey shows some frightening problems
D. Young people's English language ability decreases

(研究发现) A study examined data from more than 50,000 citizen star watchers across the world. It found man - made lighting is making the night sky about 10% brighter each year.
Christopher Kyba, a co - writer of the study, told The Associated Press the 10% change was "a lot bigger" than people had expected. The research team gave an example to explain the result. If a child is born where 250 stars can be seen on a clear night, by the time that child turns 18, only 100 stars will be seen.
As cities put up more lights, "skyglow (夜空光亮)" is created in the sky. Skyglow is a term scientists use to describe light that becomes more stronger. Though there are natural reasons for skyglow, this term typically refers to the light that arises from artificial lighting.
"Skyglow is a commonly noticed aspect of light pollution, which is making us lose the possibility of seeing stars," Fabio Falchi, a physicist at the University of Santiago de Compostela said. "If you can still see the dimmest stars, you're in a place with little light pollution. But if you see only the brightest ones, you are in a very light - polluted place." Part of what is being lost is a universal human experience. "The night sky has been, for all the generations before ours, a source of inspiration for art, science and literature," he added.
"Skyglow affects human beings as well as other forms of life," said Georgetown University ecologist Emily Williams. "Migratory songbirds normally use starlight to work out where they're in the sky at night," Williams said. "And when sea turtle babies hatch (孵化), they use light to find the way to the ocean — man - made lighting is a huge hurdle for them."
"This is real pollution, affecting people and wildlife," Kyba said. He wanted policymakers to do more to reduce light pollution. Some communities have set limits.
32. Which can best describe the effect of the 10% change according to Christopher Kyba?
A. Exciting.
B. Unavoidable.
C. Shocking.
D. Normal.
33. Which statement will Falchi agree with?
A. The night sky doesn't inspire people nowadays.
B. It's much better to watch stars in darker places.
C. We won't be able to see the stars in the future.
D. A bright night sky does harm to the human body.
34. What does the underlined word "hurdle" in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Difficulty.
B. Symbol.
C. Reward.
D. Means.
35. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A guidebook.
B. A magazine.
C. A business report.
D. A fiction book.
