Many unique caves in the world are found on the shores of oceans and lakes. They are always there to
attract visitors across the globe.
Sea Lion Caves
Found on the Oregon Coast, it’s well-known as the only mainland breeding ground (繁殖地) of the Steller
sea lion, a near-threatened species. It’s also the longest sea cave in North America, measuring1,315 feet long.
Most of the cave is at sea level and is flooded with water at high tide. One section of the cave, sitting 50 feet
higher, serves as a platform to view the creatures’ habitat.
Apostle Islands Sea Caves
Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands Sea Caves are sandstone caves on the shores of Lake Superior. The caves are
accessible by boat in summer, but seeing the caves during winter has become a popular, if weather-dependent,
alternative. When Lake Superior freezes, the ice is sometimes thick enough to allow hikers to walk across the lake
and explore the caves.
Great Blue Hole
Located off the coast of Belize, it’s a vertical cave that’s entirely underwater. It measures 984 feet in
diameter and 410 feet deep. With its beautiful, clear water and a variety of wild marine life residing in its depths,
the Great Blue Hole is most famous as a scuba-diving destination. Although the Great Blue Hole is one of the
most spectacular, it’s not the world’s only blue hole.
Painted Cave
The Painted Cave, located on California’s Santa Cruz Island, is an expansive sea cave known for the
colorful rocks, lichen and algae found on its walls. After the Sea Lion Caves, it’s the second-longest sea cave in
North America, at 1,227 feet long. The cave is a popular kayaking (划艇) destination since the cave’s bottom is
underwater for its entire length.

Kenya is a microcosm of Africa. So, in case Kenya doesn’t already feature on your list of dream
destinations, Jane Barsby, a travel writer, tells you why it should.
The Masai Mara
Home to the“greatest wildlife show on earth” - the annual migration of one-and-a-half million wildebeest
and their accompanying animals - the Masai Mara remains Kenya’s most famous reserve thanks to the brilliance
of its game viewing.
Walking is not allowed here, so if you’d like to hike across the Greater Mara, visit one of the many private
conservancies that border the reserve.
The Karen District
Perhaps the greatest single influence on the country’s tourism was the Danish writer Karen Blixen, whose
book Out of Africa begins with the words, “I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills”, and you can
visit his house in the Karen district, where it has been turned into a museum.
While in Karen, why not stroke a giraffe at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre or
cuddle a baby elephant at the Wildlife Trust’s Elephant Shelter?
Gedi
On the silver-blue Swahili coastline are the remains of the thirteenth-century town of Gedi, which was
allegedly deserted by its occupants at the approach of cannibals (食人族). Now it is a picturesque ruin with
wretched streets, market places, palaces and mosques, all buried in the dense coastal forest.
Near the entrance to Gedi is Kipepeo, a butterfly farm where you can witness the entire cycle of a
butterfly’s life.
Western Kenya
For an entirely different take on Kenya, visit western Kenya - famous for its green quilt of tea bushes which
once you’ve sipped, you’ ll never regard this delicious drink in quite the same light again.
For the ultimate experience spend a night or two at the Kericho Tea Hotel.
1．Which activity is available in the Karen district?
A．Visiting a science museum.
B．Interacting with wild animals.
C．Watching butterflies’ life cycle.
D．Exploring the local cuisine.
2．Where can you enjoy ocean views?

C．Western Kenya. D．The Masai Mara.
3．Where is the passage probably taken from?
A．A science journal. B．A literary review.
C．A historical document. D．A tourism brochure.

In Mexico City’s Polanco neighborhood, Catia Lattouf has turned her apartment into a clinic for sick,
injured, or baby hummingbirds. Over the past decade, though lacking formal training, she has nursed hundreds of
these tiny birds back to health.
Lattouf, a 73-year-old French literature enthusiast, has become a go-to resource for bird lovers across
Mexico and Latin America. The shelter converted from apartment to clinic supports more formal institutions like
the Iztacala campus of Mexico’s National Autonomous University, which sometimes refers cases to her due to
limited resources.
Lattouf began caring for hummingbirds a year after surviving colon cancer in 2011. It started with one
hummingbird that had an eye injury. A veterinarian (兽医) friend encouraged her to try to help it. She named itGucci after the brand of the glasses case she kept it in. The bird became her inseparable companion and helped
pull her out of the sadness and loneliness she experienced after her husband’s death followed by her own struggle
with cancer. “It wrote me a new life,” she said.
Lattouf never turns away a bird. Together with her partner Cecilia Santos, they care for the birds in long
days
that stretch from 5 A．m. into the night. Most of the hummingbirds are in the bedroom where Lattouf sleeps until
they are strong enough to fly and feed themselves. Then she moves them to a neighboring room to prepare them
for release in a wooded area on the city’s south side.
Many of them do manage to return to the wild, but the ones who die under Lattouf’s care are buried near
her building between small plants. Despite threats to hummingbirds from constant construction projects that
replace flower gardens with concrete, Lattouf remains optimistic and hopes other bird lovers will plant more
flowers to feed these great pollinators (传粉者).
4．What does the underlined word “converted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Reduced. B．Transformed. C．Protected. D．Simplified.
5．Why did Lattouf start caring for hummingbirds?
A．She wanted to honor her late husband. B．Raising birds was her childhood dream.
C．She needed a hobby after surviving cancer.D．A friend asked her to help with an injured bird.
6．What is one of the threats to hummingbirds according to the last paragraph?
A．Increased use of chemicals in gardens.
B．Climate change leading to loss of habitat.
C．Building projects replacing flower gardens.
D．Pollution of water sources in their natural environment.
7．What can be inferred about Catia Lattouf based on the text?
A．She is unfriendly and only works with birds.
B．She is wealthy as she keeps birds in her bedroom.
C．She is positive and has found a new purpose in life.
D．She is qualified as she has received formal training in bird care.

Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies (聚居地) in Antarctica by
analysing tourist photos. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and so the amount of data being
collected around the world is incredible,” says Heather Lynch at Stony Brook University in New York.
Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues, including Lynch, used an AI tool to highlight
Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground. With guidance from a human expert,
the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos. This semi-automated method is
much faster than doing everything manually (手动地) because the AI tool takes just 5 to 10 seconds per image,
compared with a person taking 1 to 2 minutes. The team also created a 3D digital model of the Antarctic landscape
using satellite imagery and data. By identifying landscape details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could
place the photographer, then the penguin colony, accurately within the 3D model.This transformation of ground photos into a bird’s-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin
colonies change in location and population size over time, which could prove especially helpful in remote regions
of the world. Such tracking is important because Adélie penguins are considered a sentinel species, meaning shifts
in their population are an indicator of climate change. The AI-assisted technique can also employ historical
imagery to track phenomena such as glacier changes that “occur very slowly and may only be evident by looking
across decades of time”, says Lynch.
But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism — the two large Adélie penguin
groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships. “Some are worried that, by encouraging
tourists to do citizen science, we are justifying their trips, which will be used by the cruise (游轮) companies to
sell more tickets,” says Fretwell.
12．Where did the research data come from?
A．Expert data base. B．Maps marked by AI.
C．3D digital model. D．Images shot by tourists.
13．What role did AI play in highlighting Adélie penguins?
A．It served as an assistant. B．It acted as a predictor.
C．It replaced the human experts. D．It conducted the entire research.
14．Why did the researchers track the changes of Adélie penguin colonies?
A．To gather data on tourism. B．To monitor penguin behaviors.
C．To examine the effects of AI. D．To further study the climate change.
15．Which of the following best describes researchers’ attitudes towards Antarctic tourism?
A．Unclear. B．Controversial. C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.

Returning to the gym for the first time after a pause can be an awkward experience, your shoulders quaking
and muscles trembling. However, discontinuous workout may not ultimately end up with weakened muscles,
thanks to a phenomenon known as muscle memory. You might associate the term with the idea that you can jump
back on a bike after years of not riding one, or undertake other previously-learned activities that involve motor
skills and almost instinctively (本能的) remember how.
This brain-muscle connection is undoubtedly part of the story, but many exercise scientists have realized
muscle memory is more than neuromuscular (神经肌肉的) conditioning. Changes deep inside our thread-like
muscle cells may also explain why previously trained muscles grow back more quickly after taking up exercise
again.
Eeli Halonen, a competitive bodybuilder and doctoral student in exercise physiology at the University of
Jyvaskyla in Finland, recalls the muscle mass he lost after a long break from training. What surprised him was the
speed at which he regained his strength. To discover more about muscle recovery, Halonen conducted a controlled
trial with his team. Half of over 40 untrained individuals were required to follow a 20-week workout program
continuously for 20 weeks, while the other half split their training into two 10-week sessions with a 10-week break
in between. During their break, participants experienced “significant” decreases in muscle size and, to a lesser
extent, strength. However, it took only five weeks of retraining for them to return to their previous levels.“It’s a positive finding for those who need to take time off for whatever reason; you can rest assured that
your muscles will readapt quite readily. People tend to overestimate how much exercise is needed to maintain
muscle mass. The good news is that ‘A little bit of exercise can go a pretty long way in maintaining function and
size’,” says Halonen.
8．Which statement about “muscle memory” is correct?
A．It prevents muscles growth.
B．It is the core of a new concept.
C．Its another function has been found.
D．Its connection with motor skills proves a mistake.
9．What motivated Halonen to carry out the controlled trail?
A．His favorite sport. B．His own experience.
C．His desire to be stronger. D．His academic requirement.
10．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．It is important to take a rest to keep fit.
B．A little of exercise can hardly be beneficial.
C．Don’t worry too much about interrupted workout.
D．The longer time you rest, the more quickly muscle recovers.
11．Which is the best title of the passage?
A．Less is more B．Restart, regain
C．Pausing is reducing D．Once start, never stop

Wrapped in a shiny metal suit, Katia Krafft’s small frame appeared insignificant next to the red curtain of
boiling rock that burst from the ground before her. The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop
Iceland’s Krafla volcano in 1984. “Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent,
so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were
few women in the field.
The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcancoogist, dropped
everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed
researchers to dissect (剖析) the complex details of each eruption like never before.
The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still
dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes
on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people,
and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.
The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of
these disasters. Their videos are credited as one of the main reasons that officials in the Philippines took the
warning signs of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffts didn’t live to see it. They died less
than two weeks earlier in Japan during a terrible eruption.
Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to
study our restless planet. At age 16, Marie-Claude Williamson, now a research scientist at the Geological Survey
of Canada, met Katia during an evening lecture where the Kraffts were narrating one of their films. “It was largelythe vision of the extraordinary woman I briefly encountered when I was 16 that kept me going.” she says.
1．What did the Kraffts do when a volcano erupted?
A．They sent once warnings. B．They shot the process.
C．They wrote down the details. D．They analyzed the causes.
2．What can be learned about the two eruptions in the 1980s?
A．They were effusive eruptions.
B．They took place in the US.
C．They were recorded by the Kraffts.
D．They changed the Kraffts’ career focus.
3．What’s the purpose of filming explosive eruptions?
A．To show the beauty of volcanoes.
B．To predict future volcanic activities.
C．To share knowledge of volcanic risks.
D．To guide government policy-making.
4．Which of the following words can best describe Katia?
A．Enthusiastic and modest. B．Humorous and professional.
C．Ambitious and generous. D．Courageous and influential.

Nostalgia (怀旧), or the experience of lovingly recalling and longing for your past, is seemingly fitting into
our culture right now, with movie and TV screens especially expanded. On its surface, it seems simple: picturing
fond feelings from our past just makes us feel good. But there’s a lot more going on.
In the recent research, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences asked study participants to rate their
level of pain from heat stimulation (刺激) while looking at pictures that were nostalgic-showing images of old
cartoons, childhood games or candy-compared with another group of people who were given with modern
pictures.
During the tasks, a machine examined the 34 participants. After obtaining brain scans, researchers found
that observing pictures that activated childhood memories was linked to participants reporting weaker feelings of
pain. By managing their discomfort, rather than reducing the unpleasant stimuli, people can use nostalgia to
rebuild their painful experiences.
But Swets, another nostalgia expert, warned that using nostalgia for pain relief might not be a blanket
solution for everyone. He highlights that nostalgia is a personal emotional experience that varies in terms of
frequency and intensity. “What nostalgia is the feeling of connectedness with other people,” Swets said, noting
that the clues in many studies are designed to make people think of good times with family and friends. “So,
people who are a little more avoidant of intimate (亲密的) relationship with other people, or more likely to prefer
distance don’t get the same results of nostalgia.” As with other positive psychology interventions, the impacts can
depend on the person.
The researchers involved in the studies also have plans to use different age groups in future research to look
into the impacts of more personal nostalgic clues rather than common nostalgia ones such as old music and
movies.9．In which aspect were the two groups different in terms of research design?
A．Heat resistance. B．Anxiety level.
C．Childhood experience. D．Picture cues.
10．What does the research find about nostalgia?
A．It reduces bad stimuli. B．It makes brain active.
C．It relieves one’s pain. D．It reshapes one’s past memory.
11．What does Swets say about nostalgia?
A．It’s a good way to recall fine times. B．It’s a universal solution to pain relief.
C．Its effect is influenced by relationships. D．Its form is similar to other interventions.
12．What will the follow-up study focus on?
A．Nostalgic experience types. B．Personal nostalgia effects.
C．The impact of nostalgia on all age groups.D．The reason for the popularity of nostalgia.

London Cycle Hire Scheme
Renting a bike is not only one of the most pleasant ways to travel around the back streets of London; it’s
also one of the cheapest. Approximately 12,000 bikes are available to rent 24 hours a day, all year round. You can
hire a bike from any of the 800 docking stations and return it anywhere on the network. The three-speed bikes are
pretty strong. They come with a bell, a front basket and a chain guard. The front and back lights come on when
you start pedaling and the seat height is easily adjustable.
How much does It cost?
Unfortunately, the free under-30-minute-ride deal was canceled in September 2022.
*£1.65 per 30-minutes

Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories and sugars. The
keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars. And choose
the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here.
1. Apricots
PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95These orange orbs supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger
cancer and other chronic diseases. You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value.
2. Figs
PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105
Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruits, and they supply a decent amount of calcium. They may
sometimes look like they’ re sprinkled with sugar, but they’ re not. The natural fruit sugar in the figs can
crystallize and leave a white coating.
3. Prunes
PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92
Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to
prevent osteoporosis. One serving of prunes has about 20 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin
K. The low intakes have been linked to painful blood vessel (血管) problems.
21．How many calories will you get if you have a portion of apricots and figs?
A．116. B．118. C．124. D．200.
22．What is a benefit of prunes?
A．Relieve pain. B．Improve bone strength.
C．Prevent cancer. D．Promote calcium absorption.
23．What advice is offered on dried fruit?
A．Take small servings. B．Add some sugar.
C．Mix with other nutrients. D．Stay away from it.

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our
phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a
three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco
Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like
short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched
last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to
artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120
submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short
stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider
experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
24. Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use.
C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs.
25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A. By popularity. B. By length.
C. By theme. D. By language.
26. What has Trost been doing recently?
A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers.
C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists.
27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?
A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline.
C. It will expand nationwide.D. Its ridership will increase.

The Saint Lukas train doesn’t accept passengers—it accepts only the sick. The Saint Lukas is one of five
government-sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. Each stop lasts an
average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural(乡村)populations withbasic medical care, X-ray scans and prescriptions.
“People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,” says Emile Ducke, a German
photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the vast
regions(区域)of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
Russia’s public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled
to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River,
including arranging doctor’s appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors
to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every year,
the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and
restock(补给). Then it starts all over again the next month. Most stations wait about a year between visits.
Doctors see up to 150 patients every day. The train’s equipment allows for basic checkups. “I was very
impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and
very concerned,” says Ducke. “They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want. ”
28. How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains?
A. It runs across countries. B. It reserves seats for the seniors.
C. It functions as a hospital. D. It travels along a river.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk?
A. It is heavily populated. B. It offers training for doctors.
C. It is a modern city. D. It needs medical aid.
30. How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply?
A. About a year. B. About ten months.
C. About two months. D. About two weeks.
31. What is Ducke’s attitude toward the Saint Lukas’ services?
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful
C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids.
And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden
programme at four low-income schools. The programme aims to help students develop science skills,
environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighbourhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast
food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles
of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though
some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as
soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a
year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Programme evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes.“We have students who
say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.She adds that the programme’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that
they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a
calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get
outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
( )24.What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?

As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If
you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are
relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that
wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to
submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers
then examined these submissions, coding ( 编 码 ) experiences into different categories. For example, one
participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories
“sitting at beach” and “listening to waves”.
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a“nature language” began to emerge.
After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These
include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the
activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edgeof water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a
workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch
break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.
And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior
author of the study.
( )32.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A.Pocket parks are now popular.
B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C.Many cities are overpopulated.
D.People enjoy living close to nature.
( )33.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?
A.To compare different types of park-goers.
B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C.To analyse the main features of the park.
D.To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
( )34.What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 5?
A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C.The same nature experience takes different forms.
D.The nature language enhances work performance.

When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved
problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny
creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes
people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and askingquestions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing
chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way
nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge ( 污泥). First, he
constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and
streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these
different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the
sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began
to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated
sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in
Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for
the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these
new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor.
5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine.
6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
7. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.

I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that
were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a
world of philosophy (哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people
who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them.
Eric weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love
for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s
work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to
wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more
than a book about undestanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he
does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in
history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own
interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually
pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up
a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is
something we don’t have a lot of.
28. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?
A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner.
C. Jostein Gaarder. D. A college teacher.
29. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4?
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiners book.
30. What does the author like about The Socrates Express?
A. Its views on history are well-presented.
B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers.
D. It leaves an open ending.
31. What does the author think of Weiners book?
A. Objective and plain.
B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow.
D. Humorous and straightforward.

Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the
American psyche-we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the
world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a
grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As
grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re
increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or
more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by
settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975,
grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections andallow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now,
grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm
animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and
campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t
even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.
I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he
reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the
page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the
boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. Hethought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your
grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce
audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera,
since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal
story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I
will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.

A．He took it for a tablet computer. B．He disliked the colorful pictures.

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a
musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in
her
performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past
four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break
the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure
you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to
50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has
their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for
the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said,
“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once
asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I
have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”323
24．What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A．Read music. B．Play the piano.
C．Sing songs. D．Fix the instruments.
25．Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A．Boring. B．Well-paid.
C．Demanding. D．Dangerous.
26．What does Titterton need to practise?
A．Counting the pages. B．Recognizing the “nodding”.
C．Catching falling objects. D．Performing in his own style.
27．Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”?
A．He has very poor eyesight. B．He ignores the audience.
C．He has no interest in music. D．He forgets to do his job.
