For generations, the name Milton Hershey has been a well-known word closely connected with fine chocolate products throughout the country and around the world. He was born in 1857 on a farm near Derry Church, a small Pennsylvania community. Frequent family moves interrupted ( 中断) his schooling and left him with limited education. He only completed the fourth grade.
Following a four-year apprenticeship ( 学徒期) with a Lancaster candy maker, he established his first candy-making business in Philadelphia. That initial effort failed as did his next two attempts in Chicago and New York. Returning to Lancaster in 1883, Hershey established the Lancaster Caramel Company, which quickly became an outstanding success. It was this business that established him as a candy maker and set the stage for future achievements.
Hershey became fascinated with German chocolate-making machinery exhibited at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. He bought the equipment for his Lancaster plant and soon began producing various chocolate creations. Hershey sold the Lancaster Caramel Co. in 1900 in order to focus entirely on his chocolate business.
Three years later, he returned to Derry Church to build a new factory. There he could obtain the large supplies of fresh milk needed to perfect and produce fine milk chocolate. Through trial and error (反复试验), he created his own formula (配方) for milk chocolate. In 1903 he began construction on what was to become the world's largest chocolate plant. After its completion, Hershey's milk chocolate quickly became the first nationally marketed product of its kind.
With Milton Hershey's success came a great sense of social responsibility. Hershey created a complete new community around his factory. He built a model town for his employees that included comfortable homes, an inexpensive public transportation system, a quality public school system and broad cultural opportunities. The town of Hershey continues to be a special place for its residents and a popular attraction for millions of visitors each year. Indeed, Milton Hershey's achievements do speak for themselves.

24. What stopped Hershey from having systematic school education?
A. His lack of interest in study.
B. His family's continual relocation.
C. His failure to meet school requirements.
D. His parents' attaching little value to education.
25. Why did Hershey sell his Lancaster plant?
A. The plant had suffered a huge loss.
B. The produced candies were of low quality.
C. His machinery business needed a lot of money.
D. He decided to give all his attention to chocolate production.
26. What can be inferred about Derry Church according to the text?
A. There were plenty of cow farms.
B. It had always been a popular attraction.
C. It had offered free space to Hershey for formula development.
D. Residents from neighboring towns were attracted to move here.
27. Which of the following best describes Hershey?
A. Gentle and soft-spoken. B. Strict and well-behaved.
C. Humorous and easy-going. D. Persevering and public-spirited.

C
Set 40 kilometers northeast of the city of Ambatondrazaka, the Zahamena National Park's landscape consists of ( 由……组成) valleys surrounded by a flowing mountain range.
It has an overall land coverage of 64, 300 hectares, but only 42, 000 hectares is open to the public due to strict conservation (环境保护) reasons. It receives an average yearly rainfall level of about 6 feet and experiences frequent rain showers even during the dry season between April and October.
One really interesting thing about the Zahamena National Park is that the unique territory of its highland has paved the way for the development of several ecosystems that exist at the same time in this park. This is the reason why the types of wildlife living in one area are different in another, which makes it quite exciting to explore.
This protected area is divided into two parts, with a separate piece of land in the middle where many small villages are situated. These villages are inhabited ( 居 住) by the members of the Sihanaka and Betsimisaraka ethnic groups.
The Zahamena National Park gets its name from the local Zahana Mena tree, an uncommon type of hardwood that grows in the lower regions of this protected area. It is characterized by its resilient ( 坚 韧 的) wood that can be rather challenging to cut, join, shape and carve even with modern tools.
Established as a strict natural highland reserve in 1927 (and one of the first of its kind in all of Madagascar), the Zahamena National Park was officially given its national park status ( 地 位) in 1997 and was eventually opened to the public. Due to its remarkable territory and unique biodiversity, this national park was later listed as a key part of the collective UNESCO World Heritage Site called the Rainforests of the Atsinanana in 2007.

28. What can we learn about the Zahamena National Park?
A. It is surrounded by the city of Ambatondrazaka.
B. It receives little rainfall during the dry season.
C. It is partially open to the public.
D. It is divided into three parts.

29. What has contributed to several ecosystems in the Zahamena National Park?
A. The strict conservation rules. B. The unique weather conditions.
C. The special territory of its highland. D. The influence of several local villages.
30. What is the Zahamena National Park named after?
A. An ethnic group. B. A type of local tree.
C. A traditional tool. D. A nearby city.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. A brief introduction to the Zahamena National Park.
B. A complete guide to visiting the Zahamena National Park.
C. Details of Zahamena National Park's great efforts in conservation.
D. Reasons for Zahamena National Park becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

D
Electronic timing is older than most people imagine and was used for the first time more than a hundred years ago at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Initially, the well-known company Ericsson was tasked with developing the technology, but it was the Swedish inventor Ragnar Carlstedt who eventually created the final product.
At the same time, Carlstedt introduced another invention: the finish line camera. The 1, 500-meter Olympic final was extremely close with Arnold Jackson from Great Britain winning by only 0.1 seconds. But it was impossible to decide on the silver medal since the two Americans Abel Kiviat and Norman Taber finished side by side. For the first time in history, the outcome of an Olympic event had to be settled based on a photo finish when Kiviat was judged to be “slightly ahead”.
The significance of these two inventions led a major newspaper to write: “Electronic timing at the Olympic Games. Simultaneous (同时发生的) timing and photography of contestants. A brilliant idea!”
The next step in timekeeping was the photo-finish camera with a time stamp imprinted on each picture, which was introduced at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. The 1948 Olympics saw the introduction of another invention with the continuous slit camera ( 狭 缝 摄 影 机), where a film behind a narrow slit rolls ( 滚 动) with the same speed as the runners. Four years later the clocks were connected to the slit camera giving a solution of 1/100 s. But it was not until 1972 that official times were recorded to the 100th of a second.
The next big step in the eighties was to make the camera digital to speed up the feedback (反馈). But the idea behind the slit camera was kept and is still the basis of all timing systems for athletics used today. The only difference is that now there is a very narrow sensor array ( 阵 列 传 感 器) instead of the moving film.
After a century technology has reached the point where the whole timing system can be stored in a smartphone. So in a way, the circle was closed when SprintTimer, a sports timer and photo finish app, was developed in the same place and precisely a hundred years after Ragnar Carlstedt.

32. What do we know about electronic timing?
A. It was created in recent years.
B. It was first introduced at the Olympics.
C. It was developed by the well-known company Ericsson.
D. It was perfected by the Swedish inventor Ragnar Carlstedt.
33. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. The increasing need for a finish line camera.
B. The excellent performance of Arnold Jackson.
C. The significant role of Carlstedt's another invention.
D. The intense competition of the 1,500-meter Olympic final.
34. How was the digital camera in the eighties different from the slit camera?
A. It avoided the use of a moving film.
B. It rolled with the same speed as the runners.
C. It made a 100th-of-a-second record possible.
D. It adopted a new idea for all timing systems used today.
35. What does the underlined part “the circle was closed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Further improvement was discontinued.
B. The problem was back to the origin.
C. A new invention was created.
D. The issue was resolved.

Community sports teams provide great ways for players of all ages to have fun and socialize while they keep their skills sharp and get some exercise. If you can't find one in your area, you can start one yourself. 36
Do your research.
37 If you find that you are the first in your community to recognize such a need, ensure that you can find enough local interest in your sport. You can invite one or two to join you in forming a preliminary leadership team.
Establish a budget.
To figure out what expenses ( 支 出) you'll need to cover, think about everything you'll need to set up for your first game: Do you need to pay for using the facilities? 38 Once you've laid out all of your costs, try to find out what revenues (收入) you'll need to cover your expenses.
Create a league of your own.
It might seem like overkill to draft some legal documents if all you want to do is meet up with some friends for a game on Sunday mornings. 39 Playtime goes much more smoothly if everyone agrees to the same rules before the game begins.
Plan for the future.
Consider getting and training new volunteers and keep young players coming in to replace those lost to busy careers or family responsibilities. 40 There might be a possibility of you deciding to quit.
A. Do you need to buy sports equipment?
B. What social benefits might your club bring to the region?
C. Read on to find tips for starting your own sports club team.
D. And don't forget to pass your knowledge and enthusiasm on to the next generation.
E. But having written guidelines in place will help to keep everyone on the same page.
F. Check with your local community center to see if a league already exists for your sport.
G. You may have spoken to someone in the community during your initial search for a league.

Blake came home from the hospital in a wheelchair, to a big celebration organized by the neighbors and his two sons, Ryle and Max. Tears rose in his eyes on seeing the smile on all the people gathered there, including his sons.
“Dad! Welcome home!” Max shouted.
“Kids ...” Blake said, teary-eyed. “Your mom ... she is not coming back. She's with the angels (天使) now, and we only have each other ...”
“We know, Dad ...” Ryle said sadly. “When you were in the hospital, the neighbors visited you. They also looked after us when you were not home. I know I'm older than Max, and I was supposed to look after him, but I couldn't have done everything without the help of our neighbors ...”
After Blake met with the accident, he was unconscious (不省人事的) for weeks in the hospital. He had no idea his neighbors had been his rock in difficult times and looked after his two sons. Blake cried, but he was so proud of his two sons for being so strong in the face of the family tragedy (悲剧). And he was grateful to his neighbors for helping him and his family.
The next morning, Blake woke up late. Ryle assisted him in getting into the wheelchair, and as they exited the room, Blake was surprised to see the dinner table set for breakfast. He then entered the kitchen and noticed his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Sebastian, preparing more food.
Not just that, Mrs. Sebastian also assisted Max and Ryle in getting ready for school every morning. When Blake asked why she was helping them, she simply said, “Deary, my grandkids rarely visit me. I miss them, and your boys are like my grandchildren.”
Blake was moved by his neighbors' kindness, which gave him the confidence to look on the bright side of life. He didn't want to sit in a wheelchair for hours in vain (徒劳无益地), so he decided to push himself and learn new things. He enrolled in (报名参加) an online marketing and programming course.

(Text 6)
W: How many times has France won the World Cup?
M: We have won the FIFA World Cup title twice — in 1998 and in 2018 — and were looking to add a third in 2022. But now, our dream ended in smoke.
W: Yeah, it’s such a pity that France lost in the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. I know you won the 2018 tournament in Russia, but where did you win your first World Cup title?
M: Actually, we hosted the tournament in 1998, so we played at home. As a child of the nineties, this is the first World Cup that I’ve really remembered.

W: Bridge? The card game? It’s the kind of thing my grandma plays with her friends over tea and biscuits!
M: I know, but Lucy, we need sports for older people. Or we get to the age of 35 and all our dreams of reaching the Olympics are gone!
W: Well, that’s true. And there’s another thing about bridge. I mean, there’s no judging — there’s a clear winner.
M: Exactly. This is what we need to do — broaden the Olympics for our times! Hey, we could have a whole parenting Olympics, like holding a crying baby while carrying a second child and three bags of shopping!
W: We could even add some danger by making the athletes go down some stairs!
(Text 9)

W: Extreme sports are another feature of the park. Mountain boarding is available in all weather conditions. Bungee jumping and skydiving are also available except for during the summer.
M: I heard there is only one restaurant in the park at the moment.

Hi, I’m Jason and I’m talking to you today about the school sports trip to South Africa that I went on this year. It’s a sports trip, so our school brought two football teams, two tennis teams, and a netball team. I play a little netball, so I played in the netball team, and it was fun. We did a bit of sightseeing too. Before we set off, I was so excited at seeing the wild animals, such as elephants, lions and giraffes. As a result, the lion was the only one we missed. That was a shame. So, I hope I’ve given you an idea of what it’s like. We all gained something from the trip. A lot of people said their fitness improved. I was already quite fit, but I think I benefitted from an increase in confidence. If you decide to go, make sure you apply by March — they won’t consider it after that. You’ll hear back by June if you qualify, and you need to pay by September at the latest. Good luck!

So Blake created the DEEDS OF GOODNESS — an online store where you could do good deeds and pay it forward! Blake's website offered small services such as transporting goods, cleaning, being a driver for an hour, and so on. People signed up as “buyers” for those services, and the money they paid went to charity.
The website had few visitors in the beginning, but things changed with time. The youngsters advertised the excellent deed their dad was trying to do, and countless people turned up to help Blake, including the boys' teachers, classmates, and school friends. All because one good act leads to another! The kindness was passed along, and Blake was glad he didn't let his disability discourage him. In fact, his “never give up” attitude made him stronger, and his determination enabled him to help others.
