A young female athlete in the Philippines recently won many gold medals during a sports meet despite not having proper running shoes. Rhea Ballos, an 11-year-old student of Salvation Elementary School in Balason, Iloilo, was only wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.

Facebook user Valenzuela posted pictures of the girl with her feet wrapped in bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word “NIKE” on the sides of her “shoe” to complete the “Nike running shoes” look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track. While she was actually barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her competitors who all more proper footwear intended for running,

According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the girls' categories in the inter school sporting event held in Iloilo, central Philippines.

When pictures of her “Nike” footwear become popular, Flipinos on social media praised her. Many noted that instead of falling into self-pity, she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her “running shoes”. Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. Others started getting in touch with the American sports brand, as well as local basketball specialty store Titan 22.

It did not take long for Titan co-founder and Alaska Aces head coach Jeffrey Cariaso to take notice of Ballos' outstanding achievement. Cariaso immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner. The seven-time PBA champion has since talked to the student as well as her coaches in an apparent bid to help her out.

24. Why did Ballos wear bandages around her feet to compete?

A She couldn't afford to buy shoes. B. She wished to be noticed by Nike.

C. She wanted to draw public's attention. D. She thought it fashionable and unique.

25. What's people's attitude to Ballos' story?

A. Surprised. B. Confused. 

C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.

26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Ballos will be recognized by Nike. B. Ballos will be probably helped by Cariaso.

C. Ballos is bound to win more champions. D. Ballos will become a great basketball player.

27. Which of the following can best describe Ballos?

A. Shy and lucky. B. Kind and brave. C. Clever and outstanding. D. Gifted and optimistic.

C

Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.

But the researchers are trying to help them: it is a controlled experiment that reveals how high wind speeds significantly reduce the efficiency of their feeding.

With no wind, the bees on average took nectar (花蜜) from 5.45 flowers during their 90-second time trial. When wind speeds were increased, this fell to an average of 3.73 flowers.

Researchers also examined the indirect impact of higher winds by moving the flowers.

The findings reveal that, while flower movement did not appear to have an effect on the bees, the movement of air from the fans made them much more hesitant to take off from a flower, with time taken ranging from an initial 0.05 seconds to 54 seconds.

Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees’ body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.

“With wind speeds predicted to increase in the years ahead, understanding how we can help bees in a changing climate is becoming ever more pressing. Although we can’t do much to control or stop the wind, we can take steps to reduce its impact on bees, such as placing hives in sheltered locations,” said Hennessy.

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned last year that the decline in global bee populations was a “threat to global food security and diversity”.

Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, said:“Bees already face many pressures in the modern world, such as loss of habitats and exposure to pesticides (杀虫剂), and a great many are in decline. Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw.”

28. What task did the researchers set for the bees?

A. Identifying the new route.

B. Surviving in extreme conditions.

C. Feeding under different wind speeds.

D. Distinguishing various kinds of flowers.

29. What probably makes a bee hesitant to take off from a flower?

A. A full stomach.

B. Loss of balance.

C. Changed flower positions.

D. Reduced body temperature.

30. What can we do to reduce the impact of high winds on bees?

A. Stop the wind.

B. Restore their habitats.

C. Address climate change.

D. Prohibit the use of pesticides.

31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Loss of bees causes failure of food crops

B. Bees are on the decline as global heating worsens

C. Bees may struggle in winds caused by global warming

D. Artificial flowers are used for threatened bee populations

D

Hearing loss is unavoidable,but listening to loud music when you’ re younger can make it worse. To reduce your risk of hearing loss via loud music,learn why and how it can cause hearing loss,and just how loud is too loud.

Hearing loss occurs in four ways:conductive hearing loss,sensorineural hearing loss,mixed hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder. Noise-induced(噪音诱发的)hearing loss is a type of sensorineural hearing loss.

Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when your inner ear becomes damaged. In the case of noise induced hearing loss,most of the damage affects the cells of tiny sensory hairs in your inner ear.

When those cells get damaged or die,the electrical signal that your auditory nerve sends to your brain changes.

Noise-induced hearing loss can be acute or severe,and it can be temporary or permanent. You might be familiar with acute temporary noise-induced hearing loss,even if you didn’t realize what was happening at the time.

Acute temporary noise-induced hearing loss can occur from attending a loud concert or sporting event,going to a gun range without earmuffs or being near an explosion. It can make noises sound “stuffy”or far away,especially when talking on the phone or in a crowded room. Repeated exposure to those loud situations can eventually lead to permanent hearing loss.

Noise levels from earbuds and headphones can get as loud as 139 decibels,according to the journal Noise &Health,far greater than the recommended range of everyday sound exposure,which is 60 to 85 decibels. And the average level of noise from headphones,with the volume turned all the way up,is 94 to 110 decibels. For context, 60 decibels is about the volume of an average conversation,and 130 decibels is about the noise level of a rock concert. 85 decibels is considered the maxi- mum volume at which you can listen to sound for eight hours without damaging your hearing. So if you were to listen to music from your headphones for eight hours a day,listening at a volume louder than 85 decibels can cause permanent damage to your ears.

Unfortunately,the relationship between decibels and time isn’t linear. For every three decibels,safe exposure time gets cut in half,according to the CDC. At 88 decibels,you can only safely listen for four hours;at 91 decibels,just two hours.

32 What does the underlined word”it”in Paragraph One refer to?

A. Hearing loss. B. Listening to loud music. C. Risk. D. Loud music.

33. In which of the following situations is acute temporary noise-induced hearing loss more likely to occur?

A. Attending a rock concert. B. Participating in a heated debate.

C. Going to a gun range with earmuffs. D. Watching an explosion at a distance.

34. In terms of safe exposurehow long can you listen at 97 decibels?

A. A quarter. B. Half an hour. C. One hour. D. One and a half hours.

35. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

A Loud Music Damages Hearing B. How to Prevent Hearing Loss

C. How Loud Is Too Loud D. Music and Hearing

【答案】Dear Fred,

I wonder if you could do me a favor and help with the preparation of the concert to be held in our school.

The concert aims to help foreign students learn more about Chinese traditional music. First, I’d appreciate it if you could help advertise it. Moreover, lacking some equipment, I sincerely hope you can contact the school music club so they can provide some for us. I wonder if it’s convenient for us to have a discussion together in our classroom tomorrow afternoon. With your generous help, I believe the concert will be unforgettable.

Thanks for your time and I’m looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
