Fire Prevention Information
The University of Adelaide employs a full-time staff of fire prevention professionals. They inspect all campus buildings and test and maintain all sprinkler (喷水灭火装置) systems, fire alarms and fire extinguishers (灭火器). They also provide educational programs or fire safety in the residence hall. Whenever you move to a new area, you should locate the fire alarm pull stations and the two exits that are the nearest to your room.
Fire Alarms
The floors of all campus buildings are equipped with manual (手动的) fire alarm systems which include fire alarm pull stations and pipes. Most are also equipped with automatic fire alarm systems consisting of heat detectors, smoke detectors and sprinklers. For your safety, never tamper with (胡乱摆弄) these systems. False fire alarms are illegal and may lead to imprisonment.
Fire Drills
A fire drill will be conducted in your residence hall every semester. During a fire drill, please do the following:
* Take your room key and ID, close and lock the door to your room.
* Exit immediately from the nearest emergency exit. Do not use a lift.
* Meet outside of your residence hall and wait for further instructions.
Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are located on each floor and in each apartment. Use a fire extinguisher only if you have been trained to do so. Irresponsible use of a fire extinguisher can create a dangerous situation for other residents and could result in damage to personal property.
Misuse of a fire extinguisher will result in fines.
Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is on the ceiling in your room. Some buildings also have heat detectors on the ceilings. Do the following to ensure the safe operation of your smoke detector:
* If your smoke detector is working properly, the red light should be on. If the red light is not blinking, contact residence hall staff immediately.
* Do not cover or block your smoke detector in any way.
* If a smoke detector sets off an alarm and there is no fire or smoke, inform your hall staff.

Researchers found that those with strong, close bonds(关系)with their friends at age 15 were more likely to be healthy and happy later. Importantly, popularity—defined as lots of people liking you generally, but without bonding with each other closely—wasn’t found to have the same benefit as close friends. “Close friendship strength in mid-adolescence predicted relative increases in self-worth and decreases in anxiety and depressive symptoms by early adulthood,” according to the authors of the study. Popularity actually had the opposite—negative—effect.
The University of Virginia researchers who carried out the study followed the 169 subjects every year for a decade, which means that their data are pretty strong. The scientists weren’t relying on their recall of the types of relationships people had years later; they got data in real time from their subjects as they grew and matured(成熟的).
Each year, the subjects spoke to the researchers about their friends—who their best friends were and what their relationships were like with other friends. Through interviews and assessments, they were asked about “anxiety, social acceptance, self-worth and symptoms of depression; teens’ close friends also reported on their friendships and were interviewed,” according to the release.
Then the researchers analyzed the 10 years of data to understand how people handled stress over time. Those who were merely popular did worse on several measures of mental health compared to people with strong high school friendships.
The study shows that being well-liked by a large group of people cannot take the place of forming deep, supportive friendships. Because these experiences stay with us in addition to what happens later. As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of ordinary friends, focusing time and attention on cultivating close connections with a few individuals should be a priority(优先考虑).
4．What is the potential of close friendship in mid-adolescence compared with popularity?
A．People will have more confidence. B．People will have less self-worth.
C．People will be more depressed. D．People will be more anxious.
5．Why is the study reliable?
A．They gathered the date when the subjects were quite young.
B．They collected the data when the subjects were mature.
C．They got the date from the subjects’ memory.
D．They obtained the data in real time.
6．What were the researchers most concerned about in terms of the subjects?
A．Their diet. B．Their intelligence.
C．Their social acceptance. D．Their body shape.
7．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To oppose other people’s theories. B．To draw a conclusion and give advice.
C．To present the methods of the research. D．To point out the limitations of the research.

Located deep in the mountains of Chongyang county of Hubei province, the Qingshan Reservoir(水库)looks like a river with many twists and turns.
For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle(障碍)to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle(往返)back and forth via boat.
A recent video of Wang went viral on social media and moved many.
He became a teacher at the primary school in Panshan village in 1995. With water in three directions, the village occupies a sort of peninsula(半岛), even though it’s high on Qingshan Mountain.
Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe.
With development of the local economy, Panshan Primary School merged with(与……结合)the Chichong Primary School on the opposite bank of the reservoir in 2017. Wang could drive to pick up most of the students, but a few depend on his boat.
He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed.
Panshan and Chichong villages together have more than 1,000 residents. Wang is proud that 40 of his students eventually entered college. “My ultimate dream is to send them out from the mountains through education,” Wang said. Meanwhile, he is proud that six of the 40 college students returned to their hometown and became teachers themselves.

Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in Gambia Africa. As a teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She carried some goods with many girls like her to sell in the market to raise herself. At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash.
Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change. In 1997, she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in Gambia. She educated women in Gambia to recycle plastic waste into income for themselves. In the beginning, the movement had a mission to educate their village colleagues about the need to reuse garbage and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the garbage increase behind their homes.
Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia. But the work of collecting trash turned to be taxing. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.
Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their garbage behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects again knock on your door very quickly-dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.”
For 17 years, Ceesay has contributed to one of the most important problems about the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington, D．C．, United States. Her story was written into a book, which inspires many others to join or become makers of change in their own communities.
12．What can be learned about young Ceesay from Paragraph 1?
A．She gave up the chance of going to school.
B．She had many friends good at doing business.
C．She sold strong and light plastic bags to support herself
D．She lived in an environment heavily polluted by plastic waste.
13．What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement?
A．It aimed to make full use of natural resources to get rich.
B．It was hard to carry on because of the shortage of workers.
C．It benefited both people’s economic situation and the environment.
D．It taught the villagers to replace plastic bags with handmade ones.
14．What does the underlined word “taxing” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Challenging. B．Pleasant. C．Dangerous. D．Successful.
15．What does Ceesay mainly intend to say in Paragraph 4?
A．Bad habits are hard to remove once formed.
B．Garbage problems contribute greatly to climate change.
C．Valuing the relationship between neighbors is important.
D．Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility in communities.

Four Inventions from Women
Though it wasn’t always easy to get patents or the credit, women are responsible for many items we use today. Below are some of them.
A Solar House
In 1947, Mária Telkes, together with Eleanor Raymond, invented the world’s first modern residence heated with solar energy. The house was called Dover Sun House, built in Dover, Massachusetts, in 1948. She also invented other devices capable of storing energy captured from sunlight, and her remarkable achievements made a difference to current solar industry.
A Computer Term
Grace Hopper programmed for the earliest computer machines. Interestingly, Hopper’s first major invention in the field of software design was the creation of a famous computer term, “bug”. In 1947, she found a small moth in the Mark II computer, and it was this little bug that was “jamming (卡住)” the machine, Hopper jokingly referred to “failing to work” as a “bug”, a strange term that has since developed into a computer industry term.
Dish Washing Machine
Along with another engineer, Josephine Cochrane invented the first hand-powered dish-washer. Patented in 1886, the first dish washing machine combined high water pressure, a wheel, a boiler, and a wire framework like the ones still used for dish drying. As its inventor, Josephine Cochrane never used dishwasher herself, but it made others’ life easier.
Home Security System
You might be surprised to discover that the first home security system was actually invented by Marie Van Brittan Brown in 1966. Alongside her husband, she created a system containing a sliding camera, a two-way microphone, TV monitors. There was also an emergency button with which the police could be contacted in case of emergencies, and a remote control used to unlock doors.
16．Which of the following was created by a woman alone?
A．The solar house. B．The computer term.
C．The home security system. D．The dish washing machine.
17．What powered Josephine Cochrane’s dish washing machine?
A．Solar energy. B．Electricity.
C．Air pressure. D．Manpower.
18．How can we call the police when using the first home security system?
A．By turning to a remote control.
B．By using a new two-way microphone.
C．By pressing on the emergency button.
D．By calling for help into sliding camera.

I was enjoying my delicious sandwich that morning when I noticed that it was already 7:17. I had three minutes to catch the school bus.
I jumped up, grabbed my bag, and rushed out of the house catching the elevator. In a panic, I texted my friend who had taken the bus from the previous station, pleading if he could ask the bus driver to wait just two minutes.
“He says hurry!”
As soon as the elevator door opened, I raced down the apartment complex. I turned the corner and identified the small yellow bus with the emergency signal waiting for me. I gathered all my strength and raced the last 100 meters like the ones I had seen in the Olympics.
“Good morning! Having a rough start?” the driver said.
“Yeah. Thank you for waiting,” I said awkwardly, still gasping (喘气) for air.
His big smile and kind gesture caught me off guard as I entered nervously, expecting some sort of a scolding. His warmness was actually quite comforting. The bus arrived at school, and I thanked him again for waiting for me. He wished me a great day and told me to learn as much as possible. It was just a common remark, but I felt that his words carried so much genuineness that they touched my heart.
A moment of flashbacks reminded me that he always smiled. I just didn’t take the time to notice. He always exchanged small talks with us and behind those small talks was a deeply caring heart cheering and rooting for all of us.
3:15 p.m. finally arrived. Just like any other day, our bus driver was right there waiting for us, pleasantly smiling. However, this time I noticed. “Had a great day?” He asked. “I had a wonderful day! Thank you so much!” I said it with the biggest smile and meant every word.
19．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “pleading” in paragraph 2?

22．What is mainly talked about in this text?
A．A usual busy day. B．A respectable man.
C．A common greeting. D．An awkward experience.

New York has become the most recent state to ban the sale of some animals in pet stores. A new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul bans the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits in retail shops. The new law encourages pet stores to work with animal rescue groups and shelters to make space for rescued animals that are available for adoption.
California was the first state to pass a retail ban in 2017. Maryland followed in 2018 and a statewide ban in Illinois went into effect in February. Maine and Washington passed laws that ban the sales in new pet stores. Now, more than 300 cities and counties throughout the United States have passed pet-sale bans. There are at least 10,000 commercial pet stores in the country, and fewer than 3,000 of them are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to the estimates from the Humane Society of the United States.
In these commercial pet stores, animals are usually kept in dirty, crowded cages with limited access to medical care and human interaction. They often don’t get enough to eat or drink, have little protection from cold or heat; and don’t have a separate place to go to the bathroom. Many animals raised in the commercial pet stores go on to have physical and emotional problems.
Although conditions are often horrible, commercial pet stores are usually legal unless authorities are called in to close those with extremely inhumane (不人道的) conditions. “Dogs, cats, and rabbits across New York deserve loving homes and humane treatment,” Governor Hochul said in a statement. “I’m proud to sign this law, which will make meaningful steps to cut down on bad treatment and protect the welfare of animals across the state.” However, some pet store owners have argued that the law will cause a large quantity of pet stores in New York to close.
23．What is the new law signed by Governor Kathy Hochul about?
A．Avoiding abusing pets.
B．Preventing adopting pets.
C．Forbidding distributing pets.
D．Forbidding trading certain pets in pet stores.
24．What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A．The operation mode of commercial pet stores.
B．The problems faced by commercial pet stores.
C．The poor living conditions of the pets in pet stores.
D．The physical and emotional problems of some animals.
25．What can we learn about the law from the last paragraph?
A．It is well received.
B．It is highly profitable.
C．It takes ages to see the results.
D．It may also have its shortcoming.
26．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．New York state offers medical care to animals
B．New York state bans pet stores from selling some animals
C．New York state assists pet store owners with laws
D．New York state ignores the horrible conditions of pets

We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is that it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution? It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm (节奏). It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing (安装) outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
27．What can we learn about light pollution?
A．It has little effect on plants.
B．It contributes to most cancers.
C．It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D．It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
28．Why does light pollution affect the climate?
A．It increases the temperature at night.
B．It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C．It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D．It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
29．How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution?
A．Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B．Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C．Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D．Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
B．Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C．There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D．Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.

Marathon is one of the most difficult races in track and field, at a little over 42 kilometers. To be a world-class marathoner, you must run that distance in two and a half hours. But for some, completing a marathon race is a lifelong dream.
Jacqueline’s dream of being a world-class runner began when she was a child in Kenya. She soon realized she had the talent and the willpower to compete. She also knew she would have to train full-time, which meant not being able to work to help support her family. But she was confident that she could bring home prize money.
Jacqueline traveled to China to compete in the Zheng-Kai marathon knowing she had a good shot at winning the race, but more importantly, the $10,000 prize that went with it. She was leading the women’s division when a male runner arrived at the water station. The man had trouble drinking water because a birth defect(缺陷)had left him without hands, and he struggled to drink from a plastic bottle. But any assistance from fans or race officials would result in his disqualification. Jacqueline noticed the man and immediately knew that he needed help. She grabbed a water bottle and helped him get the water his body needed to complete the race.
Runner after runner passed Jacqueline. Her hopes of winning were getting lost in numerous runners ahead of her. With only 4 kilometers left in the race, and certain that the male runner would now finish, Jacqueline picked up her pace and finally finished second.
That day, Jacqueline missed out on first place, but she finished something more important: humanity. She returned home with the smaller prize of second place, but to her family, she brought home something much more valuable to home: the right example.
31．What can we know about Jacqueline from paragraph 2?
A．She was born with little sports talent.
B．Her goal was to win a championship.
C．Her family opposed her going for a run.
D．She had to train full-time to achieve her dream.
32．Why did the male runner struggle to drink from a plastic bottle?
A．He was disabled.
B．He didn’t like bottled water.
C．He was running forward in a hurry.
D．He competed with other runners for water.
33．What happened after Jacqueline helped the male runner?
A．She won second place at last.
B．She was criticised by her family.
C．She was disqualified for going against rules.
D．She fell behind several runners and gave up.
34．What is the attitude of Jacqueline’s family towards her deed?
A．Cautious. B．Approval. C．Critieal. D．Disappointed.

Air-conditioner’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men regarding the “correct” temperature for it to be set. And it’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both parties warm but not hot. Research does consistently show women prefer a higher indoor temperature to men. But is there any science backing up the widespread belief that women “feel the cold” more than men?
At around the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels.
Women also tend to have a lower metabolic(代谢)rate than men, which reduces heat production during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops.
The hormones oestrogen and progesterone(雌激素和孕激素), found in large quantities in women, contribute to the core body and skin temperatures. Oestrogen dilates(扩张)blood vessels at the extremities. This means more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progesterone can cause the vessels in the skin to narrow, meaning less blood will flow to some areas to keep the inner organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.
So how do we agree on the ideal temperature? The “Scandinavian sleep method”, where couples sleep with separate blankets, is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences.
In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heat systems that can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or foot-warmers. These systems provide individualised comfort to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace. They may also be an energy-efficient method to balance warmth and health in office environments.
35．Why does a couple often have an argument on temperature control?
A．Because the wife prefers to work indoors than outdoors.
B．Because the wife would like to stay in a cooler place.
C．Because they have different preference for temperature.
D．Because they have no air-conditioner to heat their office.
36．What may happen to men and women of the same weight?
A．Men may be much stronger than women.
B．Men may have more fat than women.
C．Women may feel colder than men.
D．Women may produce more heat than men.
37．How does the fourth paragraph develop?
A．By giving examples. B．By listing reasons.
C．By solving problems. D．By making comparisons.
38．Which of the following can help create a comfortable workplace without bothering others?
A．Using a personal heater. B．Moving into a warm office.
C．Applying a new heating system. D．Asking for an extra individual room.

If you are on the market to get a good enameled (搪瓷的) Dutch oven, chances are that you may find some French brands, such as Le Creuset and Staub. Nevertheless, when you are considering buying one, you may immediately find these cost a few hundred bucks.
Among the hottest brands, designed for only about $95 with a lifetime guarantee, Input Milo now offers only one item, which can really compete with those hot French ovens.
Style and Design
Because of a promise to source the finest item and to employ the finest achievable style and design, the Milo Dutch oven is really a kettle using a value that can not be overcome. The oven has a normal size, 12 pounds, in 5.5 quarts (夸脱), for all cooking jobs, handy and enameled with small handles. And the very low cost comes chiefly by cutting out the middleman and attempting to sell directly to shoppers.
Milo VS. Other Brand Names
Milo plans to compete with the greater brand names because its style and operation are all equal to those. Cheaper Dutch ovens tend to be somewhat short-term, while Milo is devoted to producing products that survive a life or even longer.
Get Discounts by Using Milo Discount Codes

39．According to the passage, the Le Creuset oven .
A．can be pretty expensive B．is made in the US
C．is hard to operate D．fails to sell well
40．What can we know about the Milo Dutch oven?
A．It costs hundreds of dollars.
B．It is well-made and affordable.
C．It comes with a year’s guarantee.
D．It has a low production cost.
41．Compared with cheaper ovens, the Milo Dutch oven .

A cancer treatment no longer means what it used to be. Just a few decades ago, the survival rate beyond five years was less than 50%. Now, nearly 70% of those who get cancer survive that long, and that rate is set to rise. Why? Because, more than ever, chemotherapy (化疗) and radiation, once the only ways of cancer treatment, are being paired with or replaced by varieties of new drugs and treatments.
For example, the first medication for what was previously considered an “undruggable” lung cancer was recently approved in the United States, Canada, Europe and the U.K. And a brand-new precise chemotherapy drug delivered directly to breast cancer cells is giving hope to patients with the HER 2-positive form of the disease.
Another discovery has been the promise of a treatment called immunotherapy, as researchers around the world have discovered ways to use the body’s own immune (免疫) system to battle cancer cells.
Also driving hope is a focus on prevention. Decades of research and public education have led to greater awareness of how lifestyle changes can reduce our risk of developing cancer. According to an article from the journal Pharmaceutical Research and published by the National Institutes of Health, 90% to 95% of cancers can be owed to environment and lifestyle, rather than to genetic (基因的) factors.
Employing vaccines (疫苗) is another effective way of prevention. Take the mRNA cancer vaccines for example. The speedy development of COVID-19 vaccines was thanks to foundations already laid by researchers who had been working for years to create mRNA vaccines to fight cancer. These vaccines use a specially programmed molecule (分子) to activate an immune response in the body’s cells. Unlike the COVID-19 vaccines designed to help protect billions of people, each cancer mRNA vaccine is tailored to treat a single patient’s cancer.
In fact, this personalized approach can be made for everyone, and for every cancer.
42．Why is the survival rate beyond five years rising now?
A．Because new drugs and treatments have come out.
B．Because chemotherapy and radiation get advanced.
C．Because new drugs have been paired with old ones.
D．Because new treatments have replaced the old ones.
43．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A．All the cancers are not related to genetic factors.
B．Most cancers have no relationship with lifestyle.
C．A focus on prevention is our only hope to deal with cancer.
D．All cancers have relationship with environment and lifestyle.
44．What can we infer about cancer mRNA vaccine according to the text?
A．The COVID-19 vaccines can be used to fight some cancers.
B．One cancer mRNA vaccine can’t be used for another cancer.
C．One cancer mRNA vaccine can be used to treat patients of the same cancer.
D．The COVID-19 vaccines were created from previous cancer mRNA vaccines.
45．What is the text?
A．A diary entry. B．A news report.
C．A book review. D．A science fiction.

In the summer of 1965, Tété-Michel Kpomassie became the first African to explore Greenland. He was 24 on the day that he stepped onto the port at Qagortoq, on Greenland’s southern coast. But his arctic journey had actually begun some seven years earlier.
Kpomassie’s amazing life story starts with a bit of chance and a book. He was a teenager when he bought a book about Greenland in Togo. Immediately, the topic attracted him, and he knew that he must go there.
He traveled along the west coast of Africa, eventually crossing into Europe. There, he stayed for some time before leaving for Greenland. “I took my time to step out,” he recalled. “When I arrived, everyone stopped talking; all were staring. They didn’t know if I was a real person or wearing a mask. Children hid behind their mothers. Some cried, believing I was a spirit from the mountains.”
Kpomassie found his true home in Greenland’s northern reaches, where the Inuit culture that he’d read in a book as a boy was very much alive. Over the next 18 months, Greenland’s first African learned to ski, ice fish and hunt, and adapted himself quickly to the new environment.
He returned to Togo in late 1966 and adapted the journal he’d kept into a book. Kpomassie then went on to give lectures about his experience in halls and classrooms throughout Africa and Europe. And he settled down in Paris and raised a family, returning to Greenland on three occasions in that time. His book An Africa in Greenland was first published in France and has since been translated into eight languages.
“All the while I knew where I ultimately needed to end up,” he said. Now approaching 81 years old, Kpomassie is packing up his apartment and heading back to northern Greenland, where he intends to live out his final years.
46．When did Kpomassie begin his first journey to Greenland?
A．In the 1940s. B．In the 1950s.
C．In the 1960s. D．In the 1970s.
47．What can we infer about people from Para.3?
A．They were unfriendly to strangers.
B．They didn’t meet a black man before.
C．They taught Kpomassie eight languages.
D．They were unwilling to let Kpomassie go.
48．Which of the following can best describe Kpomassie?
A．Strong and determined.
B．Brave and hardworking.
C．Kind and ambitious.
D．Adventurous and adaptable.
49．What’s the text mainly about?
A．The unusual experience of an adventurer.
B．The opportunities of returning to Greenland.
C．The great effect Kpomassie has on literature.
D．The meaning of starting an amazing adventure.

The Sahara is the world’s largest and most magic desert, but knowledge about it is surprisingly limited. Even estimates of when it formed vary widely, from more than five million years ago to mere thousands. Now, however, geographers studying wind-carried Saharan dust on the Canary Islands have come closer to settling this: it is, they report, close to five million years old.
One reason for the uncertainty over the Sahara’s age is that researchers use different methods to estimate it. These include studying desert dust found in sediment (沉积物) under the Atlantic Ocean, analyzing sandstone and modeling the ancient climate. To help settle the uncertainty, Daniel, geographer of the U.S. Geological Survey, and his workmates looked at sediment on Spain’s Canary Islands. They found evidence of Saharan dust. The dust appeared in ancient soil layers (层), whose age they assessed on the basis of fossils (化石) found in the same layers — and that age agreed with the earlier ocean’s sediment studies. The researchers reported their findings in November in Palaeogeography.
“The conclusion of the study is very good,” says Zhongshi Zhang, a climate modeler at the University of Bergen in Norway, who was not involved in the work. “Because the dust found on the islands is distinct from the ocean’s record,” Zhang adds, “it helps to build the case for a five-million-year age.”
The Sahara is the biggest source of wind-carried dust in the world — and that dust’s journey does not end in the Canary Islands, which lie just off the western coast of Africa. It continues onto places such as the Amazon rain forest in South America, Daniel notes. Amazon soils are poor in nutrients, and he says the new results help to show how rich dust from Africa could have been supporting the South American region’s incredible biodiversity for millions of years — adding to the Amazon’s own origin story.

Set in the snow-covered Himalayan mountains, Nainital’s waterways and forests are popular places for tourists. The road to Nainital is covered with woodlands that elephants, snakes, and squirrels always use as well. Nainital’s wildlife and human visitors exist together in the same place, but increasing tourist traffic causes a danger to some of these animals while they cross the roads. Then on the way to Nainital, an eco-bridge appears on a busy highway.
A forest manager said, “This is a rich forest, and elephant, leopards, deer and bulls move in this area. Drivers can see these large animals from some distance and slow down or stop, but they seldom do so for animals like snakes, lizards and squirrels.” To make things safer for these smaller animals, an eco-bridge was built.
No iron was found in the building of the 90-foot-long bridge. It was only made from materials like bamboo and grass and high up in the air above the road. Workers are now growing grass and plants to cover the bridge in order to attract animals. It is hoped that a green bridge will draw animals to use it. Meanwhile, it is always attracting tourists, who stop to take photos of the amazing bridge. It will make drivers realize how dangerous their high driving speed will be to animals and then reduce their speed.
Although the eco-bridge is the first Indian wildlife bridge for small animals, Indian people have recently worked on a number of projects to help cars and larger animals share the road. For example, six bridges were built over a highway in the Annamalai Hills. These bridges were built to support monkeys in reaching both sides of the highway. On India’s busy National Highway 44, several bridges have successfully enabled large wild animals to cross the crowded highway. Plans for more animal crossings are already carried out in India, including one for elephants on the Chen-nai-Bangalore National Highway.
India has some of the most unique wildlife in the world. Hopefully, nature-based city planning will benefit both India’s native wildlife and its human neighbors.
54．Why was an eco-bridge designed on the way to Nainital?
A．To attract more tourists to go there. B．To keep small animals safe.
C．To protect some rare animals. D．to prevent wild animals hurting people.
55．What is special about the eco-bridge?
A．It is cost-effective to build. B．It is the first bridge in India.
C．It can improve visitor’s safety. D．It draws on the natural materials.
56．What is expected of the drivers after the building of the bridge?
A．Avoiding taking photos of animals when they are passing by.
B．Using the new bridge only if it is necessary.
C．Visiting Nainital’s forests as little as possible.
D．Improving their awareness of slowing down for wild animals.
57．What is the main idea of para 4?
A．Indians’ effort in building wildlife-friendly highway systems.
B．The difficulties of building animal crossing in big cities.
C．Why most highways in India are safe for wild animals.
D．How animal crossing influence wildlife and humans.

About 400 high school students from Western Pennsylvania and the neighboring state of Ohio joined a heated discussion recently on “China: What Does the Future Hold?”
“It’s either going to turn out really good or really bad—who knows?” said Braveen Ragunathan, a senior from an Ohio high school. In his mind all Americans are connected to China in some way.
The forum was held in Pittsburgh, once a US industrial center, now facing job-cuts because of competition brought about by globalization. The aim of the forum is to help American students learn more about the outside world.
Elliott Blackwell, a junior at the Neighborhood Academy, said the forum let him know more about how China’s economic development will affect America in the future.
Some students, although impressed by China’s economic boom, expressed uneasiness about the nation’s practices and differences from the American way of doing business and politics.
“China is a power coming up, so they might challenge us,” Paul Amon, a junior from Oil City High School, said. “I’d hope that China can be our partner but I think that we’d clash along the way because we’re too different,” he added.
George Riley, a teacher explained: “The view of China is usually negative and I think that’s fueled by the media.”
However, some negative feelings are not from the media. Merri Ebel is a senior at East Allegheny High School north of Pittsburgh. Both her parents lost their jobs recently. The company they worked for said it was cheaper to produce goods in China rather than the US.
“China is just this big question mark. China was just a big country with millions of people that no one really knew about because it was so far away and our class was more American history based,” she said.
For better or worse US teenagers are eager to know more about China, the forum shows.
58．From the passage we know that most US teenagers ________.
A．know only a little about China B．know much about China
C．know nothing about China D．like China very much
59．What do the underlined word in Para 6 mean?
A．conflict B．support C．cooperate D．help
60．The main reason why China in their eyes is usually negative is probably that ________.
A．what their teachers say affects them B．How their classmates behave affects them
C．newspapers and online news affects them D．the forum being held affects them
61．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Teenagers in the US. B．Job-cuts in Pittsburgh.
C．Cheaper goods in China. D．China in American teenagers’ eyes.

Many years ago, when I was in high school and working weekends to pay for the extras — like a class trip, that my family couldn’t really afford, I lost my wallet.
One day, my old car required putting gas in the back. I paid and drove off, my wallet slipping out of my pocket. I hadn’t even had time to miss it when a man phoned and asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked it and to my horror, I had. He asked me to tell him how much money was in it. He then told me where to pick up my wallet.
As I pulled into his driveway, I noticed his disabled van and the ramp (坡道) going up to the house. I was thinking that there is no way this man easily got my wallet. He had to pull over his van, get in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up. I was just astonished.
I knocked on the door and he let me in. I thanked him like 10 times. I was stuck, though. While I didn’t want to insult (冒犯) him by offering money, I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness, and he said “Just pass my kindness on”. I said I would be certain to do that, as I was raised to be honest on any account. I wanted to repay his kindness, so I wholeheartedly promised.
Well, one does not find many wallets and so it was about 10 years later that I found one. It took me several days to track down the man to whom the wallet belonged. He lived in another state. I hated going through his wallet, but I finally located him through a business card he had in it. He was actually surprised his money was still in the wallet and he tried to hand me a $20. I told him “Thanks, but just pass my kindness on”.

A little creativity each day can go a long way towards happiness and pleasure in our daily life.
The researchers followed 658 people for about two weeks and found that doing small, everyday things like cooking and baking made them feel more relaxed and happier. By following diaries kept by the study subjects, the researchers found that besides feeling happier, people who worked on little creative projects every day also felt they were “flourishing”, a term that describes the feeling of personal growth. That could mean that the good feeling that comes with pulling the freshly-baked bread out of the oven could carry over into the next day, making that baker more likely to keep on with little acts of creative cooking.
This isn’t the first time researchers have connected making food with good feelings. In recent years, cooking and baking have been explored as a tool to help people deal with things like nervousness and worry. “When I’m in the kitchen, preparing things like sugar or butter I need or breaking the exact number of eggs, I am in control,” said baker John Whaite with mental disorder. “That’s really important as a key sign of my illness is a feeling of no control.”
“For people like Whaite, baking can help them by providing small tasks to focus on. To put together a good meal, cooks have to be continuously in the moment, adding seasonings and tasting their food to make sure everything will tick all the right boxes, all of which can be helpful methods of treating some forms of mental illness,” wrote Huma Qureshi.
A lot of us turn to baking when we’re feeling low. Some of us even start baking because they are ill and need something simple to focus. Baking may not be a basic cure for mental illness, but anyone in need of lifted spirits should consider it.
72．What were the subjects asked to do in the study?
A．To find ways to enjoy themselves.
B．To practise cooking and baking skills.
C．To invent new methods of baking bread.
D．To keep a record of their feelings every day.
73．What can we infer about Whaite from his words?
A．He has made great progress in baking by practising.
B．He feels nervous and worried when cooking.
C．He enjoys the feeling of being in control.
D．He takes pride in his cooking skills.
74．How could baking help people like Whaite according to Huma Qureshi?
A．By concentrating their mind.
B．By encouraging their creativity.
C．By giving them a sense of success.
D．By making them taste healthy food.
75．What does the underlined words mean in the fourth paragraph?
A．Check answers.
B．Choose right answers.
C．Do the right things to please somebody.
D．Do things in one’s own right.
