Solothurn is a picturesque town in the northwest of Switzerland known primarily for its closest relation with the number eleven. It seems like everything in this place was designed around this magical number, from the fact that there are precisely eleven churches, as well as eleven historical fountains, eleven museums and eleven towers, to the unusual clock in the town square that features an eleven－hour dial and the number twelve missing.
Although nearly everyone in Solothurn knows about the town’s obsession with the number eleven, the origin of that is covered in mystery. The first mention of eleven in Solothurn’s history dates back to 1252, when eleven members were first elected for the town’s council. Another great example of Solothurn’s obsession with the number eleven is the magnificent Cathedral of St.Ursus. Designed by Italian architect Gaetano Matteo Pisoni, it was built in eleven years. It features three sets of steps, each numbering eleven rows, eleven doors, eleven bells and eleven altars (祭坛), one of which is made out of eleven different types of marble. Interestingly, the altars can be viewed at the same time from only one place in the cathedral, the eleventh black stone in the long central part.
The people of Solothurn also show an intense interest in the number eleven in their daily life. There are special celebrations held on eleventh birthdays, and there are local products and businesses that include the special number. There is “Öufi－Bier”(Beer eleven), “eleven－i Schokolade” (eleven－Chocolate), and even “öufiyoga” (eleven o’clock yoga). The mysterious relationship between Solothurn and the number has become one of the town’s primary tourist attractions, and there is even a themed tour about the number eleven.

Vaccination(接种疫苗) is among the most effective ways to help us prevent diseases. For viruses that don't change too much—the measles virus(麻疹病毒), for example—getting vaccinated is a once-and-for-all method to prevent you from becoming infected with the virus. If you had two measles vaccines when you were a child, you would be protected for life.
However, it's a different story when it comes to influenza(流行性感冒), commonly known as “the flu”, which generally peaks between December and February. Flu vaccines cannot protect us in the long term.
There is no long-term immunity(免疫), according to Theodore Strange, associate medical director at Staten Island University Hospital in New York. “The virus essentially ‘changes its coat’—H1N1, H2N3, and so on,” he told the website Healthline.
Apart from a person’s immune protection from flu vaccination declining over time, flu viruses are also constantly changing. So the vaccines are likely to be updated from one season to the next to protect against the viruses that research suggests may be the most common during the upcoming flu season.
Thus, to develop effective flu vaccines, over 100 national influenza centers around the world conduct year-round surveillance(监测) for influenza. Researchers will test thousands of influenza virus samples from patients, according to the official website of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). The World Health Organization also suggests there are three or four influenza viruses that are most likely to spread among people during the upcoming flu season.
But even when a vaccine is developed, getting it can prove to be difficult, as it is in high demand and short supply. The timing of influenza vaccine production and distribution is unpredictable, thus the availability of the flu vaccine supply does not always meet peak demand.
So scientists prioritize access to the vaccination. The CDC recommends key populations, such as medical staff, teachers, students, children and those aged 60 and above, receive flu vaccines.
This year the situation seems more complicated, as the upcoming flu season coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic. This could overwhelm hospitals, straining(过度使用) resources and healthcare workers, time.
5. What do we know about influenza?
A. Influenza viruses are continuously changing.
B. It commonly peaks between November and December.
C. Getting two flu vaccines can protect people against the viruses.
D. H1N1 and H2N3 are the most easily infectious flu viruses.
6. How do researchers improve flu vaccines?
A. They update vaccines once a year.
B. They monitor the flu throughout the year.
C. They focus on one or two viruses during a period.
D. Influenza centers worldwide share virus samples from patients.
7. Why do scientists prioritize access to the vaccination?
A. Because not all people can afford it.
B. Because some people refuse to get vaccinated.
C. Because the vaccine is not safe for everyone.
D. Because the vaccine fails to meet the demand.
8. What does the author’s attitude towards the upcoming flu season?
A. Worried. B. Positive.
C. Confident. D. Skeptical.

East Africa is experiencing the worst desert locust (蝗虫) outbreak in decades. Climate events have accelerated the breeding of the pest across the region, and with a sudden rise in the locust population expected in coming weeks, urgent actions and funds are needed to prevent a human crisis.
Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries most affected by an ongoing desert locust outbreak are at risk of serious food insecurity. Considered among the most destructive of moving pests, an adult locust can consume 2g of plants per day, affecting crops and grasslands. A group typically holds 20 to 150 million locusts per square kilometer and can move hundreds of kilometers per day, invading areas covering millions of square kilometers. An active group, therefore, can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.
That global warming could increase the risk of the desert locust crisis was proposed over ten years ago, and in February, the UN Secretary－General António Guterres stated that the current outbreak is linked to the effects of climate change—warmer seas mean more cyclones (旋风) generating the perfect breeding ground for locusts. The outbreak has its origins in 2018, when a series of cyclones in the Arabian Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛) enabled the warm and wet conditions the desert locust requires for breeding in remote regions. Though our focus here is migration west, dreadful outbreaks of the desert locust have been experienced to the east.
The situation is going out of control. A rescue operation and financial support need no delay.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has put an immediate price tag of US $138 million for rapid response and immediate action—controlling the spread of the desert locust and safeguarding livelihoods. They say the maths is clear: about half the funding is needed for supervision, ground and sky control, and uniting efforts; the other half is needed for livelihoods and food security of farmers. They have called on the international community to act now through funding. However, by the end of February, just US $69 million had been promised.
This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsening in East Africa. The funds needed to control the situation become very difficult to achieve and the gap is a big concern.
9. Why does the crisis happen in East Africa?
A. There is a big population there.
B. There are large deserts and grasslands.
C. Africa lies west of the Arabian Peninsula.
D. Climate good for breeding plays a role.
10. Why does the writer list those figures in Para.2?
A. To warn of the terrible damage caused by locusts.
B. To help us understand how locusts live.
C. To show how many locusts there are now.
D. To draw a picture of present Africa.
11. What can we know from the text?
A. The crisis is not noticed until recently.
B. More money is needed to prevent the crisis.
C. The crisis has been the focus of the world.
D. Locusts are all from the Arabian Peninsula.
12. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Killing locusts before too late
B. Global warming, a world problem
C. The funding gap for the locust crisis
D. Africa，a crisis－stricken place

Ants know when an earthquake is about to strike, researchers have discovered. Their behavior changes significantly prior to the quake and they resume normal functioning only a day after it. Gabriele Berberich of the University Duisburg－Essen in Germany presented these findings on Thursday at the European Geosciences Union annual meeting in Vienna according to Live Science.
Berberich and her colleagues discovered that red wood ants preferred to build their colonies right along active faults in Germany. They counted 15,000 mounds (土堆) lining the faults. These faults are the places where the earth violently bursts in earthquakes.
Using a special camera that tracked changes in activity, Berberich and her colleagues tracked the ants round the clock for three years. They found that the ants’ behavior changed only when the quake was over magnitude (震级) 2.There were 10 earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.2 during this period, and many smaller ones. Humans can also sense quakes over magnitude 2 only.
According to Berberich, normal ant activity consists of going about collecting food etc. during the day and resting in the night. But before an earthquake the ants didn’t go back to their mound in the night and moved around outside it. This strange and abnormal behavior continued till a day after the earthquake, Berberich told a news conference, according to Live Science.
How do ants know an earthquake is coming? Berberich suggested that they could either be picking up changing gas emissions or noting tiny changes in the Earth’s magnetic fields (磁场). “Red wood ants have special cells which can detect changes in carbon dioxide levels. They also have special cells for detecting electromagnetic fields,” she said. Berberich and her colleagues are planning to continue the research in areas where there are more and bigger earthquakes.
13. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 1?
A. Form. B. Avoid.
C. Recover. D. Improve.
14. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To lead to the main topic.
B. To describe a new species of ant.
C. To introduce a famous researcher.
D. To tell how to predict an earthquake.
15. What happens to the ants before an earthquake?
A. They have no appetite.
B. They are too excited to rest.
C. They get lost on their way home.
D. They refuse to go inside their nests.
16. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Ants can only detect smaller earthquakes.
B. The result of the research is completely reliable.
C. Ants may have two ways to predict earthquakes.
D. Researchers don’t know how ants predict earthquakes.

A few years ago, I bought a flat. It was a triumph of hope and determination over property prices, and the peak of a 20-year dream. The day I got the keys should have been the most exciting day of my life and yet, the second I opened the door, panic set in. I spent my first night as a homeowner in a hotel researching how to sell a flat and wondering if it was too late to change my mind.
I didn’t sell my flat because I remembered why I had wanted it in the first place — but there are times when we get what we want and it simply isn’t right. I’ve always found a strange disconnect between wanting something and getting it. Wanting is a place of possibility and, in a state of lack, the desire is strong. We imagine how this thing — a new job or relationship — can change our lives and at the same time forget that adding something to our life doesn’t mean all our problems disappear. We create a narrative around the desire and, when we get it, and it is different to how we pictured it, we feel frustrated.
For me, this most often occurs in relationships. I have a habit of filling in the gaps with people, rather than getting to know them. I go on a date with someone and, instead of piecing them together brick by brick, I start to imagine what my life would be like with them in it. It shouldn’t have been a shock that the reality in no way matched my fantasy — but it was. I knew I wanted out, yet part of me felt committed: this was someone I thought I had wanted for so long, I couldn’t walk away, could I?
We tend to shame others for changing their minds. I think, however, it’s far braver to move towards something that will bring happiness than to stay in a miserable situation to protect your pride. So, when someone tells you they’ve changed their minds, congratulate them on knowing themselves well enough, and being strong enough, to admit it. It takes a lot to come clean about getting it wrong, but the relief of doing so — of setting ourselves free from a personal-shaped hole, is worth it every time.
17. Why did the author spend her first night as a homeowner in a hotel?
A. The flat was under decoration.
B. She wanted to sell this terrible flat.
C. The flat was different from her desire.
D. She was too excited to sleep in the flat.
18. Which of the following is most advisable in relationships according to the author?
A. Filling in the gaps with people around you.
B. Getting to know others little by little naturally.
C. Imagining what the life would be like with others.
D. Spending plenty of time to promote the relationship.
19. What message does the author try to tell us?
A. Never change your mind.
B. Never give up your first-time dream.
C. It is worthwhile to protect one's own pride.
D. It is brave to step out of a miserable situation.
20. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A new flat B. A personal-shaped hole

Scientists have created the world’s first living，self-healing (自愈的) robots using stem cells from frogs. Named after the African clawed frogs from which they take their stem cells, xenobots are less than a millimeter wide—small enough to travel inside human bodies. They can walk and swim, survive for weeks without food, and work together in groups. These are “entirely new life forms”, said project co－leader Michael Levin, director of the Allen Discovery Center.
The researchers removed living stem cells, which have the ability to develop into different cell types, from frog embryos (胚胎), and left them to incubate (孵化). Then, the cells were cut and reshaped into specific “body forms” designed by a supercomputer. “They’re neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal,” said robotics expert Joshua Bongard. The cells then began to work on their own and even have the regenerative power; when the scientists cut the living robot almost in half, its cells automatically zipped its body back up.
Xenobots don’t look like traditional robots—they have no shiny clothing or robotic arms. Instead, they look more like a tiny drop of moving pink flesh. The researchers say this is deliberate—this biological machine can achieve things typical robots of steel and plastic cannot do. “Traditional robots degrade over time and can produce ecological and health side effects,” researchers said in the study. As biological machines, xenobots are more environmentally friendly and safer for human health, the study said.
Research is being done into using the robots to clean up radioactive waste or even microplastics from the ocean. Scientists are also trying to include a greater variety of cells—a new nervous system for example. However, some people argue that the addition of nerve cells would cause moral problems. The general public have also expressed concern that humans would be taken control of by robots. However, Michael Levin thinks there’s no need to worry. “Xenobots have no ability to reproduce or evolve. The supercomputer which is used to produce them does use artificial intelligence. But for now, all is fine,” said Levin.
21. What is the text mainly about?
A. The advantage of AI technology.
B. The introduction of a latest robot.
C. The medical value of African clawed frogs.
D. The application of robots in medicine.
22. Which of the following best explains “regenerative” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Healing by itself.
B. Replacing old cells.
C. Living much longer.
D. Defending against attacks.
23. What do we know about xenobots?
A. They can break up steel and plastic while degrading.
B. They can do everything that traditional robots can do.
C. They do less harm to the environment and human health.
D. They often change their color deliberately while moving.
24. What is Michael Levin’s attitude toward the development of xenobots?
A. Ambiguous. B. Positive.
C. Skeptical. D. Cautious.

The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution(内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”
Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.
“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”
25. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Warned. B. Criticized.
C. Touched. D. Amused.
26. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?
A. Improvements in living conditions.
B. Growing pressure from family and social life.
C. Increasing material possessions from families.
D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
27. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?
A. Understanding. B. Intolerant.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
28. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?
A. They never really drop their responsibilities.
B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.
C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D. They would rather escape than take challenges.
