A Missouri woman is following in her father’s footsteps — training to be a heart surgeon — and recently, she and her father got the chance to perform surgery together.
Dr. Sophia Roberts, 30, is a general surgery resident physician at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. Her dad, Dr. Harold Roberts Jr., 66, has been practicing medicine for the last 32 years. In May, Roberts and his daughter teamed up for an aortic valve (主动脉瓣) replacement.
“I told Sophia that I had this case coming and she went out and read about it. And she’d never seen it, much less assisted on it,” Harold Roberts recalled.
Even though the case was new to her, Sophia Roberts jumped at the chance. She had wanted to spend a month learning and operating with her surgeon father back in 2020, but their plans fell through for all kinds of reasons. So this was the shot she’d been waiting for.
When the day came, Harold Roberts was pleased to have his eldest child by his side and said it was a “really nice thing” to work together with her. The elder Roberts said his daughter helped open the patient’s chest and “she did a great job.” “It was really very smooth. I wouldn’t have done the case any better if I had another heart surgeon assisting me” he said.
Sophia Roberts, who served as her dad’s first assistant, said it was a memorable experience but also said once the surgery got underway, she was in the zone.
“It’s very special that I was operating with him, but quite frankly, I could have been operating with anyone — like all of a sudden, you’re just focused on that patient and making the operation go smoothly,” she said.
Harold and Sophia Roberts reported their patient has done great since the surgery and was even excited the father-daughter team would be taking care of her.
24. What can we know from paragraph 2?
A. Sophia is a freshman at a medical school.
B. Harold Roberts is an experienced physician.
C. Sophia is the physician for her father’s operation.
D. Harold Roberts is teaching Sophia to be a doctor.
25. What is Sophia’s attitude towards the coming team work with her father?
A. Full of expectation. B. Slightly concerned.
C. A bit disappointed. D. Much too anxious.
26. What did Sophia concentrate on during the operation?
A. Why his father performed differently from other physicians.
B. How she could put her theory into practice in the operation.
C. How they could perform the operation most successfully.
D. What caused the patient to suffer from such a heart illness.
27. Which can best describe Harold Roberts about Sophia’s performance?
A. Proud. B. Annoyed. C. Ashamed. D. Envious.
C
The city of Marquette in Michigan is closing a section of a road to vehicular traffic every night to protect migrating salamanders (蝾螈). From 8 p. m. to 8 a. m. daily until April 15 or until the migration is completed, a section of Peter White Drive in Presque Isle Park will be closed, the city announced.
“Protecting the blue-spotted salamanders’ migration is vital, as they are an indicator species, informing us about the health of our environment,” said Kathleen Henry, Superior Watershed Partnership (SWP) special projects coordinator (协调员) and education specialist. The salamanders spend the cold winter under-ground. Then every spring, they make their way to the water where they lay eggs.
It was in 2018 that Eli Bieri, a former Northern Michigan University student, noticed vehicles were killing hundreds of these migrating salamanders. “We would see thousands and thousands of salamanders crossing the street in just one night,” Bieri told the Detroit Free Press. “It was really amazing — until we see cars pass by and squish salamanders. That really troubled me — it kept me awake at night.” He enlisted the help of the SWP, who reached out to Marquette city officials. Last spring they got the relevant stretch of road within the park temporary closed to evening and overnight vehicular traffic.
In 2019, before the closure, they found 429 salamander carcasses (尸体) in the road. Last year, they counted only 3 carcasses. With that success demonstrated, city officials are doing the same this year. “The goal is to apply our science to wildlife management,” Bieri said. “To be able to see in-person the science applied to successful management practices was very satisfying.”
28. What’s the significance of protecting the salamanders?
A. Salamanders can offer great financial benefits to the governments.
B. Protecting salamanders can greatly reduce traffic accidents at night.
C. Salamanders are a great sign for our environment’s conditions.
D. Salamanders are main food for other living creatures near the sea.
29. What does the underlined word “squish” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Avoid. B. Kill. C. Feed. D. Ignore.
30. Which word can be used to describe the effect of protecting measure?
A. Successful. B. Concerning. C. Insufficient. D. Ridiculous.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. What Salamanders Mean to Us
B. A Proper Way to Protect Our Earth
C. Ways to Protect Salamanders
D. A 12-Hour Closure for Wildlife
D
A scientist in England believes that mushrooms communicate with each other using up to 50 “words”. Previous research has suggested that fungi (真菌) conduct electrical impulses (脉冲) through long, underground structures called hyphae. “It has even shown that the firing rate of these impulses increases when the hyphae of wood-digesting fungi come into contact with wooden blocks, raising the possibility that fungi use this electrical ‘language’ to share information about food or injury with distant parts of themselves, or with hyphae-connected partners such as trees,” the Guardian reports.
To investigate this further, Andrew Adamatzky, a professor at the University of the West of England, decided to analyze the patterns of electrical spikes (猛增) generated by four species of fungi — enoki, split gill, ghost and caterpillar fungi. The results, published in the peer-reviewed journal Royal Society Open Science, were surprising, to say the least. He found that the electrical spikes often gathered into trains of activity, similar to vocabularies of up to 50 words. And the distribution of these “fungal word lengths” closely matched those of human languages. Assuming that spikes of electrical activity are used by fungi to communicate, we demonstrate that distributions of fungal word lengths match that of human languages,” he said. “We found that the size of fungal vocabulary can be up to 50 words, however, the core vocabulary of most frequently used words does not exceed 15 to 20 words.”
However, Adamatzky also acknowledges that the species could be saying nothing at all. There is also another option — they are saying nothing,” he said. “Propagating mycelium (繁殖菌丝体) tips are electrically charged, and, therefore, when the charged tips pass in a pair of differential electrodes, a spike in the potential difference is recorded.” But whatever these “spiking events” represent, they do not appear to be random, he added. “That said, we should not expect quick results: we are yet to interpret language of cats and dogs despite living with them for centuries, and research into electrical communication of fungi is in its pure fresh stage,” Adamatzky said.
32. What’s the discovery indicating mushrooms communicate with each other?
A. Fungi sends electrical impulses.
B. Hyphae exists in the mushrooms.
C. Mushrooms tell food from injury.
D. Wooden blocks affect mushrooms.
33. What can be inferred about Andrew Adamatzky’s experiment from paragraph 2?
A. It quite differs from the previous discovery.
B. Electrical spikes can hardly come together.
C. It further confirms the previous discovery.
D. Only four species of fungi send out signals.
34. What did the scientist find about fungi’s communication?
A. The most frequently-used “words” are more than 50.
B. Most of fungi’s “words” are less frequently used.
C. Distributions of fungal words differ in different species.
D. The core vocabulary in it is almost meaningless.
35. Which is Adamatzky’s idea about mushrooms’ communication in the last paragraph?
A. The discovery can benefit us.
B. The discovery is of little use.
C. We can’t rely on our experiment.
D. We need much more support for it.

【答案】Dear Peter,
More than glad to know that you will come to our teacher’s house as a guest, I am writing to give you some advice.
First, you’d better arrive at our teacher’s house a little bit earlier, so that you can talk with the host and help out with some housework. What’s more, it’s a good time for you to learn cooking some Chinese dishes. Besides, it’s better to carry some gifts, such as flowers, or fruits. What’s more, when at dinner, you should not make noises. When you’re full, you should say “I’m OK.” And then you should praise the host for his good cooking skills.
I hope these suggestions may be of some use to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

The governor smiled and said, “Reach your dream, Laila. Starting from today, you will have scholarship from us to make your dream comes true.”
Paragraph 2:
Laila couldn’t believe her ears. Holding her hands, the governor said. “To praise your good deeds and encourage your dream, we’ve decided to donate the money for your dream. Study hard, stay humble and always be the lovely Laila.” Laila laughed joyfully, cried and hugged her mama. She said “thank you” many times to the governor and also her teachers. Her dream will come true. She just remembered her daddy, who will be proud of her. Laila went home, happily.
