"If you're Italian and Swedish, and Daddy's Italian and Polish, "my 7-year-old daughter
asked, "does that mean I'm part Swedish, Polish and Italian?"
"Well, not exactly. . . "I tried to think on my feet . Clearly it was time to explain
some complicated things.
My daughter arrived by using a donated egg（卵子）. I carried her to term, but she
carries all her genes from my husband and the donor. Any similarities we share are a re-
sult of nurture rather than nature. I often experienced a sense of shame, as if I had
cheated nature. I also feared that my daughter would feel disconnected or pull away from me
once she knew everything.
However, we didn't want the information to come from anyone but us. I had referred
to many related researches and results showing such families have better outcomes when
parents tell kids about their special arrival early on, ideally by the time they're 7 years old.
On the day when she asked the question, I bought a book You Began as a Wish by Kim
Bergman, which talks about all the different ways kids come.
After reading together, we talked a little longer about the different kinds of families
we knew. I could see recognition in her warm brown eyes. "Could I be French? I love the
Eiffel Tower and croissant（羊角面包）, she asked expectantly. I thought back to the infor-
mation of the donor application. " Actually, I think you are a little bit French. "
"Yes!" She pumped her fist in the air.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司I know this is only the very beginning of these conversations, and things may be more
complicated for my family from now on. But we get to work through whatever complica-
tions' arise together, without secrecy or shame.
24. What does the underlined phrase "think on my feet" possibly mean?
A. Lie easily. B. Respond carefully. C. Treat it casually. D. Run away quickly.
25. What does the writer describe in the third paragraph?
A. Her misfortune. B. Her plan. C. Her upset. D. Her regret.
26. How did the writer possibly get prepared to solve the. problem?
A. Discussing openly. B. Reading widely.
C. Waiting patiently. D. Thinking wisely.
27. What kind of family does the writer have?
A. Open and trustful. B. Happy and hardworking.
C. Rich and caring. D. Brave and humorous.

Since the growth of online streaming services like Netflix, subtitling（加字幕） has
become something of an art.
Subtitles started out as an accessibility feature for deaf audiences, and to translate for-
eign language films into your own. Of course, it's not just deaf audiences that subtitles
help. The translated subtitles of foreign films are great for learning languages, letting you
read and hear how it's pronounced at the same time. Movie subtitles are written ahead of
time, but subtitling for live TV has to be done in the moment as the person is speaking, so
mistakes are likely to happen. But because subtitles can be everything, from monster
squelches（扑哧声） to bombs exploding, it's a great way to learn many things, such as new
adjectives.
Subtitler Karli Witkowska explained how her choice of adjective creates emotion for
the audience. Karli belongs to a team of subtitlers who try to make their descriptions as
close as possible to the sounds they hear. Karli bases her descriptions on the film's type.
The sound effects needed for a thriller like Strange Things-creaking（吱嘎） stairs and sud-
学科网（北京）股份有限公司den screams-are very different from the sounds used in historical period dramas. This influ-
ences the adjective Karli chooses to describe a sound. For example, light-hearted and cheer-
ful music might be described as jaunty-full of energy and confidence.
Another time, her team found exactly the right expression "gobsmacked silence". In
this scene, the characters were about to gasp-take in a short, sudden, and quick breath of
air without speech or sound in the scene, you are able to tell people that atmosphere. "So
when my colleague came up with that one, I definitely gave him a big thumb-up", she
said.
In fact, the phrase "gobsmacked silence" is so good that it goes viral（走红） and is
being used in all kinds of situations.
28. What does the writer want to convey about subtitling in Paragraph 2?
A. It helps solve learning problems.
B. It helps people to stay concentrated.
C. It can be important and challenging.
D. It improves ability of understanding.
29. Which emotion does "gobsmacked silence" possibly express?
A. Sad. B. Hopeful. C. Disappointed. D. Surprised.
30. What does Karli think of her teammate's work?
A. It needs improving. B. It's well done.
C. It makes her speechless. D. It's very popular.
31. Which of the following statement will Karli possibly agree with?
A. Subtitling is difficult but fashionable.
B. Subtitlers are often some strange persons.
C. Subtitlers are those who create new words.
D. Subtitling involves translating sounds accurately.

Toy giant Lego has given up on plans to make its bricks from recycled bottles, in a
blow to its efforts to cut carbon emissions（排放）. The company said in 2021 that it
aimed to reduce oil-based bricks within two years. But Monday's statement said it had
学科网（北京）股份有限公司found that using the new material didn't reduce carbon emissions. Lego said it remains
fully devoted to developing sustainable materials for bricks.
The toy maker makes about 4, 400 different bricks. Currently, many of them are made
using a plastic, ABS, mainly made from oil. The move, which was first reported in Finan-
cial Times, will be seen as a setback（挫折）after an open claim by Lego to improve its
sustainability. Like many other companies, Lego has been exploring alternative materials to
plastic that will be lasting enough for generations. In 2021, it said it had developed bricks
made from polyethylene terephthalate （PET）bottles, with some other chemicals added, to
offer an alternative to oil-based bricks.
But Lego has now discovered that after more than two years of testing, it had found
that using recycled PET didn't reduce carbon emissions. It said extra steps were required in
the production process, which meant it needed to use more energy. It has decided not to
progress with making bricks from the material, and now testing and developing bricks made
from a range of alternative sustainable materials.
Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of Lego, told the FT that it was hard to find "magic ma-
terial" to fix the firm's sustainability challenges. "We tested hundreds and hundreds of mate-
rials. It's almost not been possible to find a material like that, "he said.
A spokesperson for the company told the BBC, "We are investing more than $1. 2bn
in sustainability move in the four years to 2025 as part of our efforts to turn to more sus-
tainable materials and reduce our carbon emissions by 37% by 2032. "
32. What material has been Lego trying to replace?
A. ABS. B. PET. C. Oil. D. Carbon.
33. What did Lego find after the two-year test?
A. It failed to achieve its desired goal.
B. Carbon emission was under control.
C. Pressure from competitors was huge.
D. Added chemicals harm the environment.
34. In which part of a newspaper can the text be found?
A. Entertainment. B. Sports. C. Economy. D. Education
35. What can be the best title of the passage?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. A New Announcement from Lego B. More Recycling, More Pollution
C. Lego: Dropping Its Low-impact Act D. Lego: Firm Green Goal Despite failure

not to make complaints and to find a properly way out. My best friend, Tom, is a excel-

problems. To tell you the true, more often than not, he feels math was too hard to learn
well. With great determination, she went to his math teacher, Jackson, to help. Jackson did
