Family dynamics in the animal kingdom are as different as the animals themselves. In the
animal world, there are advantages to be gained from being part of an extended family.
Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are the world's largest living primates. These creatures are peace-loving and may
live together for a lifetime. The dominant male has many wives who may stay with him for most
of their lives, which can cause everyday conflicts. It is the male who settles the conflicts by a
warning stare or hitting the back of the offenders' heads.
Elephants
Females stick together in the elephant world, living in herds under a stateswoman. The
experience and knowledge of this elder one, who may be 60-years-old, are of great benefit. She
will remember,for example,the location of water holes and seasonal food supplies. In times of
danger, the group bunches around the young and it is the stateswoman who decides whether to
flee or confront the threat.
Lions
Lions are the only cats to live in a large family group, guarded by a pair of powerful
males.Family life is relatively harmonious and baby lions may be fed by any mother with milk,so
orphaned babies do not starve. Males live in the wilderness for some years before seeking their
own pride by challenging resident males in a bloody battle. The male lion protects his pride from
other males and enemies.
Ostriches（鸵鸟）
Ostriches travel in bands of 10-50 individuals, the most remarkable birds being the eight-foot-
tall males.The largest birds in the world, ostriches cannot fly, but run fast.The wives of the male ostrich
all put their eggs in the same nest. A primary female will then join the male to hatch（孵化） the
eggs and she will push away other eggs on the outside to ensure her own are in the middle.
1.How is an elephant herd different from other three animal groups?
A.The leader should be the oldest and experienced.
B. The number of the animals in a herd must be large.
C. An experienced female elephant dominates the herd.D. They will protect their young when they are in danger.
2.Which of the following statement is correct?
A.Baby lions often go hungry as they can't hunt.
B.A female and a male ostriches hatch eggs jointly.
C.Elephants remember every place they have been to.
D.The female chimpanzee leader settles daily conflicts.
3. Where is this text probably taken from?
A.A text book. B.A science fiction.
C.A course plan. D.A wildlife journal.
B
Jim Curry lights a stove in the parking lot of Christ Episcopal Church in Guilford. It'1l get up
to 2,000 degrees, hot enough to soften the metal of shotgun parts so they can be reshaped.
A crowd is watching, and Curry picks out a 9-year-old named Oliver to help him. “This is really
magic,”Curry says.“Right before your very eyes, you're gonna see Oliver transform this gun,this
instrument of potential harm, into something that could never be a gun ever again. It's gonna be
a trowel（泥铲）， which could be used to plant flowers in a garden.”
“It is exciting,” Oliver says. “I love the fact that you can take metal that's random and shape
it into something useful.”
Curry， a retired priest， is a co-founder of Swords to Plowshares（犁）Northeast，the organization
putting on this event, which helps police departments manage their gun buyback programs and repurpose the
weapons into gardening tools.
The finished tools are donated to community gardens and agricultural high schools and the
harvested vegetables donated to soup kitchens and homeless shelters, according to the group's
website.
Retired priest Mary Ann first volunteered with Swords to Plowshares when a family member
fell victim to gun violence. She helps collect guns through police buybacks. “When there's such
despair now in our country, people need to know that we can change. There is hope,” she says.
Curry wears a constant reminder of that hope around his neck. It's two large pieces of metal
molded into the shape of a cross. “It's made out of pieces of an AK-47 used for killing", he
says."But God's love breaks it apart, reshapes it, then transforms it into the sign of greatest hope-
the cross. And that's why I wear it.”
4. What do Curry and Oliver do in the parking lot?
A.They measure the temperature of a hot stove.
B. They do magic tricks in front of many people.
C.They turn what's threatening into what's useful.
D. They do experiments on how to make useful tools.
5.Where can you find the reshaped tools from the text?
A.In homeless shelters. B.In some famous gardens.
C.In agricultural high schools. D.In kitchens of the community.
6.What can be inferred from Marry Ann's words?
A.She feels desperate as she lost her beloved one.
B. Her country may be under threat from gun violence.
C. She will do something significant to rescue the world.D.Her family member was killed because of gun violence.
7.What can you learn about Curry from the last paragraph?
A. He made the cross all by himself.
B. His cross is a weapon used to kill.
C. The cross reminds him to reshape more tools.
D. The cross represents his hope for a better life.
C
We grow up -unavoidably-with a strong attachment to a plan A, that is,an idea of how our
lives will go and what we need to do to achieve our particular set of well-defined goals.
But then, for some of us and at one level all of us, life turns out to have made a few other
plans. A sudden injury puts a certain career forever out of reach. A small but significant error
changes everything about how crucial others view us. And so, promptly, we find we have to give
up on plan A altogether, which can feel devastating. We alternately weep and anger at the turn of
events. It is for such moments that we should consider one of life's most vital skills: that of
developing a plan B.
The first element involves fully acknowledging that no one gets through life with all their
careful plan As.Plan As simply do not work out all the time. Something unexpected,shocking and
hateful regularly comes along, not only to us, but to all human beings.
The further point is to realize that we are, dspite moments of confusion, absolutely capable of
developing very satisfactory plan Bs. Adults are good at keeping needing to refresh in our minds
and drawing comfort from in anxious moments. We have enormous capacities to act and to adapt.
Perhaps we'll have to leave town forever, maybe we'll have to resign an occupation we spent a
decade nurturing - until we rediscover our potential plan B muscle. In reality, there would be a
possibility to relocate, to start afresh in another field, to turn around the terrible event. There was
no one script for us written at our birth, and nor does there need to be only one going forward.
Crucially, we don't need to know right now what our pla Bs might be or anticipate every
frustration that might come our way; we should simply feel confident that, were the universe to
command it, we would know how to find a very different path.
8.What's the function of the opening paragraph?
A.To arouse thinking. B. To introduce the topic.
C.To define a concept. D. To set the background.
9.What does the underlined word mean in the second paragraph?
A. Disastrous. B.Indifferent. C.Entertaining. D. Relaxing.
10.Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. We must be blamed for having to make a plan B.
B.There will be only one script for us written in life.
C.Adults are an adaptable species to tackle problems.
D. Plan Bs are actually superior to plan As all the time.
11.The best structure of this passage is
D.D
Anyone keen to view from on high the prosperous cityscape of Guangdong, may soon can do
so from the cabin of a flying taxi． On October 13th the Civil Aviation（航空）Administration of
China (CAAC) awarded a "type certificate" to the world's first electric vertical take-off and landing
(eVTOL)taxi.And the small two-seater, called the EH216-S, was also permitted to fly without a pilot
on board.
The eh216-s is made by EHang, a company based in Guangdong. It looks like a large
consumer drone with a passenger bubble installed on top． Propulsion（推动力）is provided by
16small rotors（转子），installed on the tips of eight arms that fold away when the vehicle is not
in use，allowing it to park in small spaces.
The CAAC gave its approval after EHang had conducted more than 40,000 test flights, including
with volunteer passengers in 18 cities across China. It also monitored the eh216-s to structural
analysis and crash tests， and checked its ability to keep flying if one of its rotors fails. Regulators
（监管机构）also inspected the wireless network EHang uses to link its flying taxis to a control
centre on the ground.That allows backup pilots to land an aircraft by remote control if there is a
problem.
EHang says its pilotless eVTOLs will be quieter than helicopters and much cheaper to operate,
thanks to the ability to swap out an expensive pilot for a second paying passenger. The firm also
thinks that doing away with pilots will make things safer. A computer's attention never swings, and
its reaction operate at a high speed. And it is much easier to automate than driving,for there are
fewer barriers and unexpected situations to navigate.
EHang has ambitions beyond China, too. It has carried out demonstration flights in Amèrica
and Europe with the aim of obtaining type certificates in both markets. But their regulators both
have signalled that they will allow autonomous flights only after the vehicles have proved
themselves safe in human hands.
12. Which of the following best describes eh216-s?
A.eh216-3 has a high safety factor than pilot driving.
B. eh216-3 requires the pilots to land by remote control.
C. eh216-3 taking is more expensive due to automation.
D. eh216-3 looks like a consumer drone with foldable rotors.
13.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The firm has gained type certificates in both markets.
B.The two countries' regulators are likely to be careless.
C.Ehang is not alone in expanding the overseas markets.
D. Ehang may make more efforts to get widely recognized.
14. Which is the main idea of the text?
A.The test ofpilotless aircrafts.
B. The history of two seats and no pilot.
C.The advantages of pilotless flying taxi.
D.The approval of the world's first flying taxi.
15.What's the attitude of author towards eh216-s?
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Critical.

excited about it.16Going to office, wrestling with crowded public transport, having lunch in s set
duration, everything goes with the normal routine.
17 What exactly makes them feel nothing special on the day of their bith?
This may be common in those who are in their 50's, 60's, the 70's... For some people in this
age,life becomes a journey that is going on and on and on at a faster pace. They feel like losing
control of their time and every passing year doubles the fear of dying soon. This is not good as it
is negative. 18
Some people do not like to come to the notice of others due to any possible reason on this
earth. You may feel amazed about this nature. But they like to remain as part of the crowd. 19
Because they bring people in sudden attention.They prefer to remain silent and follow the
normal routine of daily life.
Here comes another part of the population that thinks it is a waste of money.20This also
includes people who are in debt and have multiple obligations. For instance - mostly a mess of
short-term debts contributes to act strangely and expense restriction.
Instead of aiming for a perfect day, set realistic expectations for your birthday.
A.They don' t like it either.
B. But they can't help doing so.
C. Birthdays are contrary to this feeling.
D.What makes them act so indifferent after all?

It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2023 when Anthony Perry stepped off the train at
Chicago's 69th Street station. The 30-year-old, a former railway worker, was on his way home.
On the platform， two men were throwing punches（拳）. Then the unthinkable happened：
The pair tumbled over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back, resisting
the beat.Suddenly,he was unresponsive and lay there unconscious. In panic, the other man rushed
backward, jumped back up onto the platform and disappeared.
“Help him!” an old woman wailed.“Please, someone!”
Perry couldn't just stand there and watch. He sprang into action. He knew that every second
counted. With a firm determination, he jumped onto the tracks. The other people on the platform
watched nervously as Perry carefully made his way to the victim.
Perry examined the man's body. He looked dead, but luckily he was still breathing, though
weakly.What mattered most was to move the man to a safe place at once. The train he'd just
gotten off was still stopping, thankfully.But had the train driver seen him? Would it start up again?
Perry silently prayed in his heart: “God help me get him out of here.” He picked the man up
on his back and took a few steps forward.
“Be careful.”cried the warm-hearted old woman.
Perry forced a smile, steadied himself and moved more cautiously to the platform.
With all his strength,he carried the man to the edge of the tracks. The other people around
made a concentrated effort to pull the man to the platform.
Suddenly, the whistle sounded that the train was about to start again. Shock! Perry was still
there. People all around quickly offered the hands to pull him up. Luckily, they made it!
