Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a police officer saw a car driving along at 22 miles per hour.
He thought to himself, “This driver is just as dangerous as a 26 !” So he turned on his lights and pulled the driver over.
Getting closer to the car, he noticed that there were 27 old ladies, two in the front seat and three in the back, wide eyed and pale faced.
The driver, who knew 28 about what happened, said to him, “Officer, I don't understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit (限制)! What seems to be the 29 ?”
“Ma'am,” the officer replied, “you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving 30 than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. The same as a speeder.”
“No, sir. I was doing the speed limit—exactly twenty-two miles an hour！” The old woman said in a 31 voice. The officer, almost unable to control his chuckle (窃笑), explained to her that “22” was the route 32 , not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman smiled widely and thanked the officer for 33 her misunderstanding.
“But 34 I let you go, ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem to be 35 badly and they haven't made a single sound this whole time,” the officer asked.

All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed (暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention— over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn't always as bad as it seems.
Group Yes |
●Animals weren't put on this planet for enjoyment. They should be free to live as they choose. ●The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain. Even if treated well, they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild. ●We don't need wildlife tourism. We can see animals close up in their natural home in TV programs. There's no need to disturb (打扰) them in real life. |
Group No |
●It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them. ●Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for some people to make a living. ●Not all animals are treated badly. Some endangered animals are under the protection of programs that look after rare species (稀有物种). |
38. The underlined words “such places” refer to the places for______.

C. wildlife protection D. animal tourism

With the COVID-19 epidemic (传染病) hitting China, many of you might want to know more about the virus. The disease is caused by a newly-found type of coronavirus (冠状病毒). Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. The word “corona” comes from Latin and refers to crowns. When people first saw a coronavirus under a microscope (显微镜), they found that its spikes (刺突) made it look like a crown. That’s how the virus family got its name. Some coronaviruses cause disease in humans; others spread illness among animals, including camels, cats and bats.
We have found seven types of coronavirus that can infect humans so far. Four of them are common and cause respiratory (呼吸道的) illnesses such as mild flu. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can evolve and then spread among people, such as with Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS，中东呼吸综合症) and severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS，(严重急性呼吸综合症). Novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), which was first found in Wuhan, is the seventh one.
41. Why was the virus family named coronavirus?
A. Because it didn’t exist before.
B. Because it was found by a Latin scientist.
C. Because coronaviruses have crown-like spikes.
D. Because coronaviruses can only be seen under a microscope.
42. COVID-19 is the seventh coronavirus that ______.
A. has ever been found on Earth
B. can infect humans
C. can spread among animals
D. doesn’t harm wild animals
43. What do we know from the story?
A. It’s easy for animals to spread coronaviruses to humans.
B. Mild flu is the most common illness caused by coronaviruses.
C. All coronaviruses cause respiratory illnesses.
D. MERS was also caused by a type of coronavirus.
D
On Jan 26, people around the world were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Kobe Bryant, one of the NBA’ s most legendary (传奇性的) players. The 41-year-old, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others died when their helicopter crashed in California, US.
People from all walks of life have paid tribute (敬意) to the late basketball superstar—not just for his achievements on the court, but for his genuine (真诚的) personality and the inspiration (激励) he provided to so many people.
In the basketball world, Bryant ranks among the top players of all time. Fans remember him as the player who helped the Los Angeles Lakers win five NBA championships during his 20-year-long career. He started out as a basketball prodigy (神童) who skipped college and took his talents directly to the NBA. His deadly agility (敏捷) and aggressive tactics (进攻性的策略) earned him the nickname Black Mamba (进攻性极强的一种非洲毒蛇). That’s why his competitive philosophy (哲学) is known as the“Mamba Mentality”.
“Mamba Mentality is you’re going, you’re competing, you’re not worried about the end result,” Bryant said. “It’s all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most.”
Off the court, he was known as a successful businessman, buying stakes (股份) in several companies, including Alibaba and Dell. He also left footprints in the movie industry, winning an Oscar in 2018 with his short film Dear Basketball.
He was also known as a proud family man. His friend, baseball star Derek Jeter, remembered him as such in an essay: “Throughout our friendship, the most meaningful conversations we had were always about family.”
As the Los Angeles Times noted, Bryant’s greatness was cemented (强化) by his skill, hard work and tireless pursuit of victory. His legacy (留给后人的东西) will live on long after his death.
44. What do we know about the crash?
A. Nine people were killed. B. The helicopter crashed in Florida.

Team spirit means the willingness of people to work together and help each other in a team.
With this spirit, people try hard to make their team the best of all. Everyone has experienced team spirit one way or another, whether they were part of a team or saw a group of people cheer for their favorite player.
There are different kinds of team spirit. One kind is the connection between a team of people because their efforts (努力) and cooperation (合作) are necessary in reaching a common goal. Another kind is when a group of people support a person or a team. Another is people's natural love for their country, when a whole nation cheer for its country in competitions. Team spirit can also be seen in the workplace or in some activities
Team spirit creates many good effects. It creates trust and friendship between people. There may also be bad effects. Too great team spirit may cause arguments or fights with other team members.
Some people don't understand team spirit properly. They think team spirit means having to become an official member of an organization, a team or a fan club. In fact, team spirit can be built anywhere-between friends, coworkers or even between two people sitting next to each other. You don't have to be wearing the team spirit clothes. Anyone can show team spirit just by showing support for the goal.
