Bert Katz, my father-in-law, celebrated his 90th birthday in November 2020. Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees(an American professional baseball team based in the New York City) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的) listener to WEAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.

Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.

Of course, Mike will be leaving on Dec. 15, 2021 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bert and wish him a happy birthday.

Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bert. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bert a happy birthday and, of course, talking about the Yankees.

When my family celebrated Bert's birthday two days later, he couldn't stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him. Unfortunately, Bert' s health declined(衰退) and he passed away on July 13, 2021. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home, he always had a radio set to WEAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa. And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 90th birthday.

24．What habit did Bert keep for years?

A．Playing baseball. B．Listening to a sports program.

C．Checking his eyesight regularly. D．Leading organized cheering for the Yankees.

25．What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Obvious. B．Unusual. C．Impossible. D．Understandable.

26．What word can best describe the author?

A．Honest. B．Caring. C．Patient. D．Independent.

27．What's the best title for the text?

A．A special gift B．The call finally arrived

C．The big dream came true D．An unforgettable birthday party

C

On December 26, 2004, an earthquake along the Indian Ocean caused a huge tsunami that killed thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. However, wildlife officials at Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park reported no mass animal deaths. Yala National Park is home to hundreds of wild animals.

Some researchers believe the animals at the park were able to sense the earthquake and moved to higher ground before the earthquake hit. Animals have good senses that help protect themselves from being hunted by their natural enemies. It is thought that their senses might also help them sense the coming disasters. Several countries have done research on the prediction of earthquakes by animals. There are two theories about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes. One theory is that animals sense the earth’s shake. The other is that they can sense changes in the air. However, so far there has been no strong evidence about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes.

Other researchers are skeptical (怀疑) about using animals for earthquake predictions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) officially states, “Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict earthquakes. Even though there have been many cases of unusual animal behaviors before earthquakes, a connection between a specific behavior and an earthquake has not been made. Because of their fine senses, animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the humans. That’s why people say that the animal knew the earthquake was coming. But animals can also change their behaviors for many other reasons.”

Although scientists disagree on whether animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes, they all agree that it is possible for animals to sense changes in the environment before humans. Researchers around the world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors and earthquakes. It is hoped that these studies will help to predict earthquakes.

28. What can we know about animals’ senses?

A. They are not reliable. B. They can change the environment.

C. They can protect animals in some ways. D. They can prevent animals acting strangely.

29. What does the USGS mean according to the third paragraph?

A. Animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes.

B. Animal behaviors are closely related to earthquakes. 

C. Animals are bound to act strangely before an earthquake.

D. Animals might change their behaviors while being hunted. 

30. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to scientists’ study?

A. Disappointed. B. Positive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.

31. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Will big earthquakes cause tsunami? B. Why does animals change their behaviors?

C. Can animals truly predict earthquakes? D. How can animals’ senses be put into use?

D

Of the 7 billion people on Earth, roughly 6 billion own a cellphone, which is pretty shocking, given that only 4.5 billion have access to a working toilet.

So how are cellphones changing us? On average, people spend 4.7 hours a day looking at their phone. Combined with the length of time spent in front of computers, this has led to an increase in the nearsightedness. In North America, in the 1970s about 1/4 of the population had nearsightedness, where today nearly half do; and in some parts of Asia, 80 — 90% of the population is now nearsighted.

And it can be hard to put your phone down, take for example the game Candy Crush. As you play the game, you achieve small goals causing your brain to be rewarded with little bursts of dopamine (多巴胺), and eventually, you are rewarded with new contents of the game. This novelty also gives little bursts of dopamine, and they together create what is known as a “compulsion loop (循环)”, which just happens to be the same loop responsible for the behavior associated with nicotine(尼古丁) or cocaine (可卡因). According to a recent study, 93% of young people aged 18—29 report using their smartphones to avoid boredom. Without their phones, they may suffer “nomophobia”—the fear or anxiety of being without their phones.

Your smartphone can also disrupt your sleep! The screen produces a blue light which has been shown to change our biological clock, reducing the time spent in deep sleep, which is linked to the development of diabetes, cancer, and obesity.

Of course, smartphones also completely change our ability to access information, most notably in poor and minority populations. 7% of Americans are entirely dependent on smartphones for their access to the Internet.

So while phones are in no way totally bad, and have been a part of positive change in the world, there’s no denying that they are changing us.

32 Why does the writer mention the near-sighted population in paragraph 2?

A. To call on people to stop using cellphones.

B. To demonstrate the bad influence cellphones have on our eyes.

C. To show the eyesight differences between westerners and Asians.

D. To warn us that shortsightedness caused by computers is becoming worse.

33. How does a man with “nomophobia” probably feel if his phone isn’t accessible?

A. Anxious. B. Energetic. C. Addicted. D. Excited.

34. How do cellphones influence our sleep according to the writer?

A. They provide too much exciting information that makes us sleepless.

B. They produce a special light that can cause less deep sleeping time.

C. They can lead to serious diseases related to sleeping problems.

D. They have clocks that ring too loud for us to fall asleep.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. How Do Cellphones Change Us? B. Put Down Your Cellphone Now!

C. Can We Live Without Cellphones? D. Don’t Let Cellphones Ruin Your Eyes!

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Nowadays in a prosperous world, we don’t only expect to obtain money through our labor. _____36_____To help us on the search for fulfilling work, here are some useful ideas.

Accept that being confused about careers is perfectly normal

Nowadays there are about half a million varieties of work. The result? We can become so anxious about making the wrong choice that we end up making no choice at all. Psychologists call this “the paradox of choice”, a problem caused by too many options. So we should acknowledge that confusion is natural. _____37_____

Know yourself

Start by writing down everything you’ve ever enjoyed doing or making, which might include building a tree house, or sorting out the winter clothes. Then there will, somewhere, be the shape of an ideal future working self, but it’ll be in need of being analyzed thoroughly. That’s where philosophy comes in. Philosophy is the art of clearing up, and demanding logic of our first thoughts.

Try something

_____38_____ But we need data, and we can only understand ourselves and others by colliding(碰撞) with the real world, in the process getting to know both it and our own natures. We need to take small steps to gather information， for example, by interning or volunteering.

_____39_____

So many bad self-help books are about confidence. But in a strange way, it truly does seem as if the difference between success and failure is sometimes just the courage to give it a go. _____40_____It makes people imagine only certain people, but not oneself, have the right to get certain things. But it isn’t true. As we know, a lot more is possible than we might think at our moments of self-doubt.

A. Be confident.

B. Read books about confidence.

C. It’s easy to imagine the work we want.

D. But don’t let it ruin our chances forever.

E. We often find information about jobs on the Internet.

F. Usually, we also expect to find meaning and satisfaction.

G. A lack of confidence is a misunderstanding of the way the world works.
