What will you do when one of the few bookstores in your neighborhood shuts down? If you’re Latanya DeVaughn, you will make a new and improved one! As a mom and writer, she had always dreamed of opening her own bookstore, so after watching another close its doors for good, she saw her chance.
While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, actually making it happen simply wasn’t possible. What she came up with instead was to turn a bus into a bookmobile! With the help of her community, she raised money for her dream and, at the end of 2021, it came true! Bronx Bound Books rolled out in style as a bus with orange cube bookshelves. “People love the way it smells,” Latanya added. “One woman said the wood smell makes her feel like she’s at home.”
Although the bookstore on wheels carries around 30,000 new and used books, it has more room than you might expect! Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of noted Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. “It’s meant to be that way,” she explained, “because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone I felt I could identify with.”
Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to make sure that everyone in the neighborhood has books to read. That’s what Bronx Bound Books is for. “I can’t open up a bookstore on every corner, but I can probably pop up on tons of different corners,” she said.
Thanks to Latanya and her Bronx Bound Books, the town is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure that the little bookstore will continue to develop quickly!

Tulou, a special residential architecture of Fujian Province was included on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List during the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee in Quebec, Canada.
In the fourth century, Han Chinese living in the Central Plain area began to migrate south, gradually gathering in Fujian and forming the Hakka communities. As a defense against enemies, the Hakkas chose to live in compact (紧凑的) communities, and Tulou became their preferred houses. Tens of thousands of such earthen structures were constructed in Fujian Province.
Most Tulous are to be found in the valleys, surrounded by high mountains, and some are in the depths of great mountains. Most are three to four stories high, and look like circular blockhouses (堡垒). Rooms on the first floor are used as kitchens, rooms on the second floor are used as barns (谷仓), and rooms on the third and fourth floors are for bedrooms and living rooms. For defensive purposes, the rooms on the first floor have no window.
Raw materials for Tulou were obtained locally. The main building material was a mixture of clay, sand, lime and water, with egg whites, brown sugar and rice water forming the walls. Once they dried, the walls were so hard that driving a nail into them seemed difficult. Fir (松木) branches, which are extremely strong and do not rot, were used to strengthen them, so many centuries later, they have remained their original look.
Tulous are in a region where earthquakes happen frequently, and their circular construction helps them resist the regular shocks.
The proven design even inspired one famous Peruvian architect, who paid several visits to Yongding, to build a Tulou back home. Not long after, an earthquake struck only 10 kilometers away, and while all the houses around the earthen building fell down, his Tulou remained.
8．From the passage, we know that Tulou________.
A．was all built on the fourth century.
B．was once the place where the Hakkas chose to live together.
C．is also modern people’s preferred housing.
D．looks like circular blockhouses but easy to fall down in an earthquake.
9．From the third paragraph, we can infer that________.
A．most Tulous are to be found in urban areas. B．Hakkas might live an organized and harmonious life.
C．people lived on the second floor in Tulou. D．no windows are on the first floor to keep Tulou strong.
10．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Hakkas built Tulous when they lived in the Central Plain area.
B．Raw materials for Tulou were obtained from far away.
C．It is difficult to dig a hole into the walls of Tulou.
D．Fir branches may help them resist the regular shocks.
11．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．One of UNESCO’s World Heritage List. B．The Function of Tulous.
C．Yongding County and the Hakkas. D．A special Earthen Architecture of Fujian.
The moment the ground stops shaking after an earthquake, some people may wonder whether their pets — or wild animals — had known the disaster was coming.
To get to the bottom of this question, Heiko Woith, a scientist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences, and his colleagues reviewed more than 700 published reports of unusual behavior among 130 species, including insects, birds, fish, cats, dogs and cattle from 160 earthquakes. The records included all kinds of behavior, including a tiger that reportedly got depressed before an earthquake.
The researchers found that 90 percent of all reported cases happened within 62 miles of the epicenter (震中) and within 60 days of an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where foreshocks had happened in the region and concluded that it was hard to say these animals could predict the earthquake itself. Rather, they were just responding to foreshocks.
“The space-time patterns of animal precursors (预兆) and foreshocks are strikingly similar,” Woith said. “From this, we concluded that the abnormal animal behavior might simply be related to foreshocks. These animals are just responding to foreshocks rather than predicting the earthquake. They don’t have super power.”
Despite the vast number of incidents, good information was little and scientific evidence is lacking. “A major surprise for us was that the large majority of published claims were built on poor observational data, which did not stand as statistical scientific proof,” Woith said.
To better study whether animals can predict earthquakes, Woith and his colleagues suggested that researchers ask a number of yes-or-no questions in any upcoming experiments, including “Is the experimental setup and monitoring procedure clearly described and reproducible?” and “Is it proven that the animal behavior is really unusual?”
Meanwhile, humans are working on technologies that can detect earthquakes seconds before they hit. Hopefully, we will have such devices to warn people that an earthquake is coming.
12．How did Woith conduct the study?
A．By analyzing former reports. B．By observing animals’ behavior.
C．By collecting data in the earthquake. D．By comparing animals` different responses.
13．What is Woith’s new finding?
A．Tigers become depressed easily.
B．Certain animals have super power.
C．Some animals can react to foreshocks.
D．Animal precursors are actually caused by their notice of foreshocks.
14．What surprised the scientists in the study?
A．Most cases of animal precursors of earthquakes happened within 60 days.
B．There were too many reports about foreshocks.
C．Some animals act strangely before earthquakes.
D．Most previous reports lack enough data support.
15．What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A．How animals behave in earthquakes.
B．Whether animals can predict earthquakes.
C．What is the link between animals and earthquakes.
D．Why people study animals’ behavior in earthquakes.

The Nunes’s family lived in a friendly community near the woods. It was a normal Wednesday afternoon. Araceli Nunes returned home from selling food and drinks along the roadside in Plantersville, Texas. Her business had been fairly profitable and she was happy to see her husband preparing dinner in the kitchen and her 3-year-old son Christopher Ramirez, playing in the yard. However, when she turned to unload her car, she didn’t notice the kid following a neighbor’s dog into the woods.
When they couldn’t find Christopher, the anxious family called for help, and within a few hours, 48 different agencies arrived to comb through the area around their home. Their entire community started to help find Christopher. Some walked into the forest and others drove farther away.
After days of absolute no sign of the kid, rescuers feared the worst, but Araceli never stopped hoping for her son’s safe return. At long last, after four long days and nights, the sheriff(警长)received a phone call from a man named Tim Halfin.
Tim Halfin’s house was about three miles away. He had heard the news of the missing boy when he returned home from a business trip. He didn’t think a three-year-old could walk that far to where he lived. However, as all the previous searching efforts were reported to fail, he decided to try his luck around his own house.
Not long after he went out into the woods, he was surprised by what came into his sight. It was Christopher! Aside from being dehydrated and very hungry, the kid was completely unharmed. He was found outside the range where authorities were looking for him, so it’s pretty amazing that Tim discovered him.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Tim picked him up, the kid was still conscious (意识清醒的).

12．A 13．C 14．D 15．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。尽管每次地震过后总有动物异常行为的报道，然而动物能够预测地震这种结论缺乏科学依据。动物的异常行为只能说明对震前有所反应，并不能说明它们可以预测地震。
12．推理判断题。根据第二段话“To get to the bottom of this question, Heiko Woith, a scientist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences, and his colleagues evaluated more than 700 published reports of unusual behavior among 130 species, including insects, birds, fish, cats, dogs and cattle from 160 earthquakes. The records included all kinds of behaviors, including a tiger that reportedly got depressed before an earthquake.(为了弄清这个问题的真相，德国地球科学研究中心(German Research Centre for Geosciences)的科学家海科·沃斯(Heiko Woith)和他的同事们评估了超过700份已发表的关于130种物种异常行为的报告，其中包括160次地震中的昆虫、鸟类、鱼类、猫、狗和牛。这些记录包括各种各样的行为，包括一只老虎，据说它在地震前会感到沮丧)”可知，Woith分析了很多之前关于很多动物异常行为的报告，从而去指导研究。故选A。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段话“The researchers found that 90 percent of all reported cases happened within 62 miles of the epicenter (震中) and within 60 days of an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where foreshocks had happened in the region and concluded that it was hard to say these animals could predict the earthquake itself. They were just responding to foreshocks.(研究人员发现，90%的报告案例发生在震中62英里和地震的60天内。 然后，他们研究了该地区发生前震的时间和地点，并得出结论，很难说这些动物能够预测地震本身。它们只是对前震做出反应)”和第四段话“From this, we concluded that the abnormal animal behavior might simply be related to foreshocks. These animals are just responding to foreshocks rather than predicting the earthquake. They don’t have super power.(由此，我们得出结论，动物的异常行为可能只是与前震有关。这些动物只是对前震做出反应，而不是预测地震。它们没有超能力)”可知，他的新发现就是一些动物会对前震有反应。故选C项。
14．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“A major surprise for us was that the large majority of the published claims were built on poor observational data, which did not stand as statistical scientific proof,(令我们惊讶的是，大多数发表的观点都是建立在糟糕的观察数据基础上的，这些数据不能作为统计科学证据)”可知，以前的大多数报告都缺乏足够的数据支持。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段话“The moment the ground stops shaking after an earthquake, some people may wonder whether their pets — or wild animals for that matter — knew the disaster was coming.(地震发生后，当地面停止晃动的那一刻，一些人可能会想，他们的宠物——或者野生动物——是否知道灾难即将来临)”和最后一段话“Meanwhile, humans are working on technologies that can detect earthquakes seconds before they hit. Hopefully, we will have such devices to warn people that the earthquake is coming.(与此同时，人类正在研究能够在地震发生前几秒钟检测到地震的技术。希望我们会有这样的设备来警告人们地震即将来临)”可知，文章在讨论动物是否有预测地震的超能力。故选B项。

What will you do when one of the few bookstores in your neighborhood shuts down? If you’re Latanya DeVaughn, you will make a new and improved one! As a mom and writer, she had always dreamed of opening her own bookstore, so after watching another close its doors for good, she saw her chance.
While Latanya said every neighborhood deserved a bookstore, actually making it happen simply wasn’t possible. What she came up with instead was to turn a bus into a bookmobile! With the help of her community, she raised money for her dream and, at the end of 2021, it came true! Bronx Bound Books rolled out in style as a bus with orange cube bookshelves. “People love the way it smells,” Latanya added. “One woman said the wood smell makes her feel like she’s at home.”
Although the bookstore on wheels carries around 30,000 new and used books, it has more room than you might expect! Latanya also makes sure to prepare books with a variety of characters, so all readers can see themselves in the pages. Of course, her collection also features works of noted Black authors like James Baldwin and Alice Walker. “It’s meant to be that way,” she explained, “because I remember going to bookstores and having to look through books just to find someone I felt I could identify with.”
Setting up her bookstore in a new spot each day, Latanya is doing her part to make sure that everyone in the neighborhood has books to read. That’s what Bronx Bound Books is for. “I can’t open up a bookstore on every corner, but I can probably pop up on tons of different corners,” she said.
Thanks to Latanya and her Bronx Bound Books, the town is becoming a heaven for book lovers day by day. I’m sure that the little bookstore will continue to develop quickly!

Tulou, a special residential architecture of Fujian Province was included on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List during the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee in Quebec, Canada.
In the fourth century, Han Chinese living in the Central Plain area began to migrate south, gradually gathering in Fujian and forming the Hakka communities. As a defense against enemies, the Hakkas chose to live in compact (紧凑的) communities, and Tulou became their preferred houses. Tens of thousands of such earthen structures were constructed in Fujian Province.
Most Tulous are to be found in the valleys, surrounded by high mountains, and some are in the depths of great mountains. Most are three to four stories high, and look like circular blockhouses (堡垒). Rooms on the first floor are used as kitchens, rooms on the second floor are used as barns (谷仓), and rooms on the third and fourth floors are for bedrooms and living rooms. For defensive purposes, the rooms on the first floor have no window.
Raw materials for Tulou were obtained locally. The main building material was a mixture of clay, sand, lime and water, with egg whites, brown sugar and rice water forming the walls. Once they dried, the walls were so hard that driving a nail into them seemed difficult. Fir (松木) branches, which are extremely strong and do not rot, were used to strengthen them, so many centuries later, they have remained their original look.
Tulous are in a region where earthquakes happen frequently, and their circular construction helps them resist the regular shocks.
The proven design even inspired one famous Peruvian architect, who paid several visits to Yongding, to build a Tulou back home. Not long after, an earthquake struck only 10 kilometers away, and while all the houses around the earthen building fell down, his Tulou remained.
8．From the passage, we know that Tulou________.
A．was all built on the fourth century.
B．was once the place where the Hakkas chose to live together.
C．is also modern people’s preferred housing.
D．looks like circular blockhouses but easy to fall down in an earthquake.
9．From the third paragraph, we can infer that________.
A．most Tulous are to be found in urban areas. B．Hakkas might live an organized and harmonious life.
C．people lived on the second floor in Tulou. D．no windows are on the first floor to keep Tulou strong.
10．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Hakkas built Tulous when they lived in the Central Plain area.
B．Raw materials for Tulou were obtained from far away.
C．It is difficult to dig a hole into the walls of Tulou.
D．Fir branches may help them resist the regular shocks.
11．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．One of UNESCO’s World Heritage List. B．The Function of Tulous.
C．Yongding County and the Hakkas. D．A special Earthen Architecture of Fujian.
The moment the ground stops shaking after an earthquake, some people may wonder whether their pets — or wild animals — had known the disaster was coming.
To get to the bottom of this question, Heiko Woith, a scientist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences, and his colleagues reviewed more than 700 published reports of unusual behavior among 130 species, including insects, birds, fish, cats, dogs and cattle from 160 earthquakes. The records included all kinds of behavior, including a tiger that reportedly got depressed before an earthquake.
The researchers found that 90 percent of all reported cases happened within 62 miles of the epicenter (震中) and within 60 days of an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where foreshocks had happened in the region and concluded that it was hard to say these animals could predict the earthquake itself. Rather, they were just responding to foreshocks.
“The space-time patterns of animal precursors (预兆) and foreshocks are strikingly similar,” Woith said. “From this, we concluded that the abnormal animal behavior might simply be related to foreshocks. These animals are just responding to foreshocks rather than predicting the earthquake. They don’t have super power.”
Despite the vast number of incidents, good information was little and scientific evidence is lacking. “A major surprise for us was that the large majority of published claims were built on poor observational data, which did not stand as statistical scientific proof,” Woith said.
To better study whether animals can predict earthquakes, Woith and his colleagues suggested that researchers ask a number of yes-or-no questions in any upcoming experiments, including “Is the experimental setup and monitoring procedure clearly described and reproducible?” and “Is it proven that the animal behavior is really unusual?”
Meanwhile, humans are working on technologies that can detect earthquakes seconds before they hit. Hopefully, we will have such devices to warn people that an earthquake is coming.
12．How did Woith conduct the study?
A．By analyzing former reports. B．By observing animals’ behavior.
C．By collecting data in the earthquake. D．By comparing animals` different responses.
13．What is Woith’s new finding?
A．Tigers become depressed easily.
B．Certain animals have super power.
C．Some animals can react to foreshocks.
D．Animal precursors are actually caused by their notice of foreshocks.
14．What surprised the scientists in the study?
A．Most cases of animal precursors of earthquakes happened within 60 days.
B．There were too many reports about foreshocks.
C．Some animals act strangely before earthquakes.
D．Most previous reports lack enough data support.
15．What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A．How animals behave in earthquakes.
B．Whether animals can predict earthquakes.
C．What is the link between animals and earthquakes.
D．Why people study animals’ behavior in earthquakes.

The Nunes’s family lived in a friendly community near the woods. It was a normal Wednesday afternoon. Araceli Nunes returned home from selling food and drinks along the roadside in Plantersville, Texas. Her business had been fairly profitable and she was happy to see her husband preparing dinner in the kitchen and her 3-year-old son Christopher Ramirez, playing in the yard. However, when she turned to unload her car, she didn’t notice the kid following a neighbor’s dog into the woods.
When they couldn’t find Christopher, the anxious family called for help, and within a few hours, 48 different agencies arrived to comb through the area around their home. Their entire community started to help find Christopher. Some walked into the forest and others drove farther away.
After days of absolute no sign of the kid, rescuers feared the worst, but Araceli never stopped hoping for her son’s safe return. At long last, after four long days and nights, the sheriff(警长)received a phone call from a man named Tim Halfin.
Tim Halfin’s house was about three miles away. He had heard the news of the missing boy when he returned home from a business trip. He didn’t think a three-year-old could walk that far to where he lived. However, as all the previous searching efforts were reported to fail, he decided to try his luck around his own house.
Not long after he went out into the woods, he was surprised by what came into his sight. It was Christopher! Aside from being dehydrated and very hungry, the kid was completely unharmed. He was found outside the range where authorities were looking for him, so it’s pretty amazing that Tim discovered him.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Tim picked him up, the kid was still conscious (意识清醒的).

For defensive purposes, the rooms on the first floor have no window.(大多数土楼都在高山环绕的山谷中，有些在大山的深处。大多数是三到四层楼高，看起来像圆形碉堡。一楼的房间用作厨房，二楼的房间用作谷仓，三楼和四楼的房间用于卧室和客厅。出于防御的目的，一楼的房间没有窗户)”可知，土楼通常在大山里，一楼没有窗户是为了防御，二楼是用作仓库的。这样大规模的样式一致的房子在一起，一定是有组织地行为；人们也都住在一起，说明能和谐共处。由此推知，客家人可能过着有组织的和谐的生活。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。尽管每次地震过后总有动物异常行为的报道，然而动物能够预测地震这种结论缺乏科学依据。动物的异常行为只能说明对震前有所反应，并不能说明它们可以预测地震。
12．推理判断题。根据第二段话“To get to the bottom of this question, Heiko Woith, a scientist at the German Research Centre for Geosciences, and his colleagues evaluated more than 700 published reports of unusual behavior among 130 species, including insects, birds, fish, cats, dogs and cattle from 160 earthquakes. The records included all kinds of behaviors, including a tiger that reportedly got depressed before an earthquake.(为了弄清这个问题的真相，德国地球科学研究中心(German Research Centre for Geosciences)的科学家海科·沃斯(Heiko Woith)和他的同事们评估了超过700份已发表的关于130种物种异常行为的报告，其中包括160次地震中的昆虫、鸟类、鱼类、猫、狗和牛。这些记录包括各种各样的行为，包括一只老虎，据说它在地震前会感到沮丧)”可知，Woith分析了很多之前关于很多动物异常行为的报告，从而去指导研究。故选A。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段话“The researchers found that 90 percent of all reported cases happened within 62 miles of the epicenter (震中) and within 60 days of an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where foreshocks had happened in the region and concluded that it was hard to say these animals could predict the earthquake itself. They were just responding to foreshocks.(研究人员发现，90%的报告案例发生在震中62英里和地震的60天内。 然后，他们研究了该地区发生前震的时间和地点，并得出结论，很难说这些动物能够预测地震本身。它们只是对前震做出反应)”和第四段话“From this, we concluded that the abnormal animal behavior might simply be related to foreshocks. These animals are just responding to foreshocks rather than predicting the earthquake. They don’t have super power.(由此，我们得出结论，动物的异常行为可能只是与前震有关。这些动物只是对前震做出反应，而不是预测地震。它们没有超能力)”可知，他的新发现就是一些动物会对前震有反应。故选C项。
14．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“A major surprise for us was that the large majority of the published claims were built on poor observational data, which did not stand as statistical scientific proof,(令我们惊讶的是，大多数发表的观点都是建立在糟糕的观察数据基础上的，这些数据不能作为统计科学证据)”可知，以前的大多数报告都缺乏足够的数据支持。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段话“The moment the ground stops shaking after an earthquake, some people may wonder whether their pets — or wild animals for that matter — knew the disaster was coming.(地震发生后，当地面停止晃动的那一刻，一些人可能会想，他们的宠物——或者野生动物——是否知道灾难即将来临)”和最后一段话“Meanwhile, humans are working on technologies that can detect earthquakes seconds before they hit. Hopefully, we will have such devices to warn people that the earthquake is coming.(与此同时，人类正在研究能够在地震发生前几秒钟检测到地震的技术。希望我们会有这样的设备来警告人们地震即将来临)”可知，文章在讨论动物是否有预测地震的超能力。故选B项。

57．When Tim picked him up, the kid was still conscious. Tim wrapped the kid with his own jacket and took him home. Not knowing the phone number of the kid’s home, he called the sheriff, who informed Araceli in no time. On getting the exciting news, Christopher’s family immediately rushed to Tim’s house. Araceli couldn’t wait to wrap her little one up in her arms and hug him tightly! Christopher spent two days recovering at Teras Children’s Hospital before he was taken home. Seeing Christopher running around the house, the family was extremely grateful to all the agencies and volunteers, especially to Tim. They knew it well that they couldn’t repay those kind people but they decided to pay it forward by lending a helping hand to whoever might be in need.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了妈妈Araceli Nunes在德克萨斯州的Plantersville的路边卖完食物和饮料回到家发现三岁的儿子Christopher Ramirez不见了，这一家人惊慌失措地打电话求助，几个小时后，48家不同的机构赶到现场，对他们家周围的区域进行了彻底的搜查。最后是Tim Halfin找到了孩子。
