Having been working at Camp Greentop, a summer camp for people with disabilities, for just a week, she didn’t think she could keep going. “I’m gonna quit. This is outside of my comfort zone... I wonder if I’m even making a difference with these campers.” Bell said.The second week, she changed her mind. She grew to love what she was doing. “It’s more physical and harder, because we have campers who have a lot of personal care needs and things like that, but I just got more joy out of it,” she said.Bell came back to camp year after year until she began working full-time at the camp. The camp was created in 1937 supporting people with intellectual and physical disabilities, whether they are developmental or acquired. “They’re not for their condition. They’re here to have fun, to socialize, and to find other people to connect with.” Bell said.Greentop is made up of six sessions (期), each about a week long. Two are for adults (18-plus) only, two are just for ages 7 to 21, and two are for all ages. The adult-only sessions are relatively unstructured, allowing campers to do whichever activity appeals to them. The other sessions are much more structured. Campers cycle between different activities around camp in 45-minute sessions, which kind of gets some campers into trouble. Instructors make sure to “put ability first”. They create ways for every camper to participate in an activity. If a camper can’t use their hands, they can use their mouth to paint during arts and crafts.“Our instructors get a 10-day-long training before camp starts, where they learn to master necessary skills of taking care of people with disabilities. They take the responsibility of caring for youth or adult participants very seriously and do what they can to maintain an environment that improves safety and wellbeing of all participants, as well as encourages personal growth and independence.” Bell said.24. Who is Camp Greentop targeted at?A. The disabled. B. The young. C. Volunteers. D. Parents.25. What made Bell continue her work in Greentop?A. The different comfort zone. B. The enjoyment from the job.C. The difficulty of landing a new job. D. The request from the campers.26. Why does the author mention “use their mouth” in paragraph 4?A. To stress every camper has a say in Greentop.B. To suggest Greentop focuses on all-round development.C. To prove Greentop has unique means of testing campers’ skills.D. To show Greentop encourages active involvement of each camper.27. What can we learn about the instructors in the last paragraph?A. They’re responsible and reliable. B. They’re talented and considerate.C. They’re curious and influential. D. They’re competitive and sensitive.CA Florida public school district is defending its decision to add a parental advisory notice to over 100 possibly “unsuitable” books as the new school year begins.Collier County Public School has added an “advisory, notice to parents” label to physical copies in its library and the district’s online catalog (目录). Each label says, “This Advisory Notice shall serve to inform you that this book has been identified by some community members as unsuitable for students. The decision as to whether this book is suitable shall be the decision of the parents who have the right to oversee their children’s education.”To ensure that parents control what their children are reading from the media center collection, the school provides parents with directions for entering the online system to view books checked out by their children.PEN America, a group that tracks book censorship (审查), published a list of all 110 flagged titles. “This alarming development is just the latest in attacks against students’ freedom to read in Florida,” Jonathan Friedman, PEN: America’s director, said in a statement, “Even if reading these books is not technically limited, the labeling of these books risks having a negative influence, making the books hard to sell.”But Nicole Neily, president of the conservative Parents Defending Education, compared Collier’s advisory notice to rating a movie or video game for mature content. “This is a creative solution to an ongoing issue in society: the library isn’t prohibiting books, but merely providing parents with information so they can make an informed decision,” he said.Book challenges have intensified in the wake of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Law. Several states have passed versions of the law, which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis regarded as a defense of parents’ right to direct their children’s education. He thinks school districts should work with parents and keep the lines of communication open.28. What’s the purpose of the parental advisory notice?A. To gather advice from parents.B. To monitor school daily management.C. To warn parents of inappropriate content in books.D. To remind parents to attach importance to children’s reading.29. What may be a consequence of announcing the labeled books according to Jonathan?A. Panic among parents.  B. Resistance to paper books.C. A decline in the book sales. D. A fall in students’ reading interest.30. What does the underlined word “prohibiting” mean in paragraph 5?A. Giving away. B. Caring about. C. Drawing on. D. Holding back.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The Growing Book ChallengesB. The Booklist Unsuitable for StudentsC. School Works with Parents for Students’ GrowthD. School District Defends Parental Book AdvisoriesDHoneybees rely heavily on flower patterns not just colors when searching for food, new research shows.A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee’s-eye-view simulations (模拟装置) to work out how they see flowers.Honeybees have low resolution vision, so they can only see a flower’s pattern clearly when they are within few centimeters. However, the new’ study shows bees can very effectively distinguish between different flowers by using a combination of colour and pattern.In a series of tests, bees rarely ignored pattern, suggesting colour alone does not lead them to flowers. This may help to explain why some colours that are visible to bees are rarely produced by flowers in nature.“We studied a large amount of data on plants and bee behaviour,” said Professor Natalie Hempel, from Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour. “By training and testing bees using man-made patterns of shape and colour, we found they relied flexibly on their ability to see both of these elements. Showing how insects see colour and learn colour patterns is important to understand how pollinators (传粉者) may, or may not, create evolutionary ‘pressures’ on the colours and patterns that flowers have evolved (进化). Our findings suggest that flowers don’t need to evolve too many different flower colours, because they can use patterns to vary their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers.”One typical feature identified in the study is that the outside edges of flowers usually contrast strongly with the plant’s leaves while the centre of the flower does not have such a strong contrast with the leaf colour. This could help bees quickly identify colour differences and find their way to flowers.While flowers may be beautiful to humans, Professor Hempel stressed that understanding more about bees and the threats they face meant we need to see the world “through the eyes of a bee and the mind of a bee.”32. What does the new research focus on?A. The source of bees’ food supply. B. The way of bees finding flowers.C. The effect of bees’ poor eyesight. D. The evolution of bees’ behavior.33. What does Hempel think of flowers trying to evolve more colours?A. It’s not a must.  B. It’s a pressing need.C. It’s beyond belief.  D. It’s a temporary solution.34. What’s paragraph 6 mainly about?A. An explanation of the research intention.B. Dramatic changes in the research strategy.C. Conflict between different research outcomes.D. Supporting evidence for the research findings.35. What aspect of research into bees did Hempel highlight?A. Research data.  B. Research methods.C. Research objects.  D. Research frequency.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Studying in America presents you with unique opportunities to get involved in a community that pushes you to succeed.    36    These tips will help you make the most of the four years.Participation in university programs helps you make new friends and establish a connection with your school.
