This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my family. My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my
best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one eye about 9 years ago. Diana
sometimes feels troubled about the way her eye looks now.The pupil (瞳孔) is no longer black; it’s kind of “glows”
in photos.
Diana recently bought a special contact lens that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she
doesn’t wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.
One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area
set up for dinner.
Diana felt regretful and said if she had known there were going to be pictures taken to record this special
moment, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn’t be so shiny in the picture.
The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted. While we were talking, the photographer who had
been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in and quietly said, “I matched the color of your
eyes in the picture.”
As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted, “Look! He fixed my eye!”
The photographer stopped. He turned around and walked back to our table.
He put his hand on Diana’s shoulder, leaned in again and gently said, “Just to be clear: I didn’t fix your
eye.There isn’t anything wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color.”
Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very warm for her heart to hear these beautiful words. It didn’t take much
time and made so much difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.I have always loved these words: “The world is full of good people. lf you can’t find one, be one!”
24. My sister wore a contact lens in order to________.
A. show the beautiful color of the eye B. make her eye look like it did before
C. protect her eye from strong sunlight D. help her eye to relax and see clearly

Do you like reading? If so, then World Book Day might be just for you.
World Book Day was first organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) in 1995 to encourage reading. It is now celebrated by book lovers every year on April 23rd, which falls
on the birthday of British author William Shakespeare.
Reading is a wonderful hobby to get into. Not only can it help you explore new worlds with your very own
imagination, but it can also help you make new friends in the real world. Although reading is often seen as an
unsociable hobby, there are actually many different kinds of clubs and events to unite book lovers everywhere.
For example, there is the practice of Book-Crossing, which tries to “make the whole world a library”. To
participate, you leave a book in a public area. That book will then be picked up and enjoyed by someone else, who
will in turn leave the book for someone else to find.
By joining book clubs and events, book lovers can make their own communities, connect with others, and
share their knowledge with people all around the world. But how can books stay popular in an increasingly digital
world? It’s a fact that there are dozens of different things turning our attention away. Thankfully, people still seem
to be very interested in reading books.
Today, teenagers have even started using the popular video-sharing app TikTok to make their own book clubs.
Using the hashtag “BookTok”, teens are sharing things like their favorite titles, book reviews, and reading tips with
other users. These teenage “BookTokers” have helped to get people out of reading slumps (衰退) and into new
novels.
Companies have also started to find new and interesting ways to keep readers involved. For example, there are
many mobile apps and online services that encourage reading by providing short passages that are fit for modern
lifestyles and busy timetables.
So, whether you prefer downloading your books or going to a bookstore to enjoy that “new book” smell, besure to celebrate World Book Day by opening one of your favorites.
27. The word “unite” in paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. join B. please C. train D. call
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The World Book Day was to celebrate the birth of William Shakespeare.
B. Reading is unsociable so the more you read, the less friends you’ll have.
C. Book lovers prefer going to bookstores to downloading the books online.
D. Books are still drawing great attention of the public in the digital world.
29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
.
A To introduce the celebration of World Book Day.
B. To discuss the problems of the reading slumps.
C. To stress the importance of the reading clubs.
D. To encourage the love of reading and books.

Researchers found how parents’ communication styles help their young children to develop language skills.
Daniel Yurovsky, professor in psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and his team developed a method to
experimentally evaluate how parents use what they know about their children’s language when they talk to
them.They found that parents have extremely exact models of their children’s language knowledge, and use these
models to tune (调正) the language they use when speaking to them.
“We have known for years that parents talk to children more differently than to other adults in a lot of ways.
For example, simplifying their speech, repeating words and stretching out vowel sounds.” said Yurovsky. “That
helps young kids get a toehold into language, but whether parents change the way they talk as children are learning
language, gives children language input that is ‘just right’ for learning the next thing.”
Yurovsky and his team continued to study to understand exactly how parents tune their interactions to match
their child’s speech development. The team developed a game where parents helped their children to pick a specific
animal from a set of three. Half of the animals in the matching game were animals that children typically learn
before age 2, like cat and cow. And the other half were animals that are typically learned later such as peacock and
leopard. The researchers asked 41 child-adult pairs to play the game. They measured the differences in how parents
talked about animals they thought their children knew and those they thought their children did not know.
They found parents had an unbelievable exact knowledge of their child’s language because they had
watched them grow and learn. These results showed that parents leveraged (利用) their knowledge of their
children’s language development to fine-tune the information they provided.“We found that parents not only used what they already knew about their children’s language knowledge
before the study, but also that if they found out they were wrong—their child didn’t actually know ‘leopard’, for
example, they changed the way they talked about that animal the next time around.” said Yurovsky. “Right now we
train language models by giving them all of the language data we can get our hands on all at once. But we might do
better if we could give them the right data at the right time, keeping it at just the right level that they are ready for.”
Yurovsky added.
30. Why do parents talk to children differently than to other adults?
A. To reduce kids’ fear to face difficulties.
B. To help develop their kids’ languages.
C. To make their talks understood.
D. To call for their kids’ attention.
31. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The ways parents tune to match their child’s speech.
B. The game that helps children to pick a specific animal.
C. The experiment to find out exact talking ways parents use.
D. The methods children and parents use to talk with each other.
32. According to the writer, language trainers or teachers should ________.
A. explain the word ‘leopard’ in another way
B. leverage children’s knowledge to fit theirs
C. offer language information when it’s proper
D. have lots of children’s language knowledge
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How Young Children Start to Learn Skills from Their Parents.
.
B How Parent’s Ways of Talking Benefit Kids’ Language Skills.
C. Why Communication Styles Help Develop Children’s Learning.
D. Why Educated Parents Have Knowledge of Their Kids’ Language.

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
A Light in the Dark
For students, study is very important. But not all of them can have a good environment to study. Recently, a
15-year-old girl called Ann Makosinski learned that a friend of hers in the Philippines couldn’t study after darkbecause her friend’s home didn’t have any electricity. Then Ann wanted to help her. As a result, Ann invented a
flashlight that was powered by heat from the human hand.
The human body keeps producing heat. That is why people feel warm when they touch things. Ann wanted to
see whether human bodies can make enough heat to power a flashlight. She thought that a special kind of tile (贴
片) called Peltier tiles might work for her purposes. A Peltier tile produces energy when opposite sides of the tile
get in touch with different temperatures. Ann tried to find a useful way to create different temperatures. She decided
to build a hollow (中空的) flashlight and put Peltier tiles into it. She thought that if a warm human hand covered
one side of the tiles while the other side of the tiles was exposed (暴露于) to cooler air, the tiles would produce
energy to make light.
Ann worked hard on her idea. First, she had to balance (平衡) the flashlight project with her schoolwork.
Then, she had to make difficult calculations (计算) that required much research. She said that there were days when
she wanted to give up. But she also encouraged herself that she must keep going. Finally Ann’s calculations led her
to the solution, and her hollow flashlight produced light. At first the light was too dark, but Ann kept experimenting
and correcting her design until the flashlight shone more brightly.
Ann showed her invention in the 2013 Google Science Fair. She was one of 15 students from around the world
who were invited to present their designs. Ann won the top prize in her age group and a $25,000 scholarship. She
hoped that her flashlight can help people who can’t make use of electricity. She said, “I want to make sure my
flashlight can be useful to those who really need it.”
