My parents bught a huse in Verna, New Jersey, in 1946 when I was 5. My sister, Merry, was brn tw years later. Our huse was set far back frm the rad. It felt safe and adventurus with a big back yard and suburban wildlife. The main attractin fr me, by far, was the massive tree in the frnt yard, which rse higher than I culd see. We called it Old Oak. An arbrist (树艺师) wh checked Old Oak fr my parents after the snwstrm f 1947 had prnunced it 300 years ld.
Playing beneath Old Oak, my best friend, Justine, and I made ty hrses. Frm Old Oak’s lwest branch, my dad hung a wden bard n a chain fr a swing. The back and-frth mtin f the swing and rhythmic clicking f the chain cmfrted me. I’d lie under the green umbrella, admiring Old Oak’s height — my prtectr. Time passed. I was swinging less under the tree and mre n the dance flr. Lng after my father sld the huse, Merry and I visited Old Oak when attending Verna High reunins.
Justine called last Octber. A new wner had bught the prperty and taken dwn the tree. I fund the real estate (房产) pht. In frnt f the huse lay tw huge lengths f trunk. I’d have t act fast t get a piece fr Merry and me. The agent invlved in the sale said that he wuld try t talk with the new wner. Hwever, that attempt failed. Then I turned t Jhn Zelenka, an artful arbrist, fr help. Frtunately, he sent phts f the remaining trunk pieces, cntacted the wner, and suggested slices fr my wdwrking hbbyist sn in New Hampshire.
On a cld April mrning, my husband and I met Zelenka t examine the pieces he’d cut after transprting the trunk. I culdn’t call Merry fast enugh. She was excited. Trees give us such gifts frm flwers t shade. My relatinship with Old Oak has taken n a new frm.
4. What d we knw abut Old Oak?

C. It was lcated at the side f a rad.D. It was a tall, centuries-ld tree.

C. T recall their days spent under Old Oak.D. T invite her t attend Verna High reunins.

C. She decided t start a whle new life.D. She made wden wrks ut f the piece.
7. What is the main idea f the text?

Abut 7,000 languages in use tday speak t the fact that ur species is brn t cmmunicate. But while we tend t view language as merely a cnsequence f ur extrardinary cgnitive (认知的) pwers, Caleb Everett thinks there may be mre ging n. Everett argues in his bk “A Myriad f Tngues: Hw Languages Reveal Differences in Hw We Think” that language itself may influence ur understanding f the wrld and ur experience f time and space.
Such a challenging idea might have caused arguments a few decades ag, says Everett, because linguists (语言学家) restricted themselves t analyzing languages f industrialized, higher-incme cuntries. These are relatively similar, s they encurage speakers t think alng bradly similar lines, he says. But we nw knw they fall shrt f representing the variety f languages spken tday — and the mre we learn abut understudied languages, the mre evidence we find fr the cmplicated interactin between language and thinking.
Cnsider Berinm, a language spken in Papua New Guinea. Unlike English speakers, explains Everett, Berinm speakers struggle t remember whether an bject they were shwn earlier was blue r green — perhaps because that language desn’t distinguish between these clrs. But it des make a frmal distinctin between yellwish-greens and ther greens, and Berinm speakers typically find it easy t remember which f these clrs an bject they saw earlier was, while English speakers struggle t d this.
Everett’s bk celebrates tw main subjects: understudied languages, with the interesting insights they ffer, and the careful wrk f linguists, cgnitive scientists, and ther experts t explre the way language influences ur thinking.
As Everett stresses, this wrk is vital as we live thrugh a language extinctin event predicted t see the lss f abut 30 percent f tday’s languages by 2100. His bk makes it clear that this is mre than just a tragedy fr lcal cmmunities. Given the insights that languages ffer int the human mind, their disappearance is detrimental t us all.
8. What des Everett’s bk discuss?
A. Hw many languages are still in use.
B. Hw language may impact ur wrld view.
C. Hw humans gain languages since birth.
D. Hw language prmtes mental develpment.
9 Hw did Everett develp his argument?
A By fllwing advice frm language experts.
B. By interviewing different cgnitive scientists.
C. By gaining insights frm minrity languages.
D. By cntrasting the wrld’s dminant languages.
10. What can we learn abut Berinm?
A. It is accurate in describing bjects.B. It is greatly influenced by English.
C. It has a decreasing number f users.D. It has a unique way f telling clrs apart.
11. What des the underlined wrd “detrimental” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Harmful.B. Familiar.C. Essential.D. Strange.
D
General Mtrs annunced Tuesday that all f its electric vehicles (EVs) will have tw-way charging capability by mdel year 2026, with sme available by 2024. The feature, knwn as vehicle-t-hme, enables their massive batteries t pwer hmes during blackuts, heat waves and ther perids f high energy demand. GM’s annuncement is gd news, and a prmising indicatin f where the aut market is headed.
There is a small but grwing number f EV mdels that ffer the ability t send electricity in bth directins. Tesla, whse electric Mdel Y is Califrnia’s best-selling passenger vehicle, als plans fr its lineup t be equipped with tw-way charging capability by 2025.
But cnsumers shuldn’t be dependent n the smetimes unreliable prmises f autmakers. That’s why Califrnia lawmakers shuld supprt legislatin (立法) t require backup pwer capability as a standard feature. Senate Bill 233, prpsed by Senatr Nancy Skinner, wuld require that all new EVs sld in Califrnia have tw-way charging capability starting in mdel year 2030. It’s a n-brainer. And if anything, 2030 isn’t sn enugh.
Hwever, it’s surprising that autmakers call a tw-way charging requirement “premature” even as cmpanies such as Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and Frd prmte it as a desirable feature in sme f their wn vehicles. The Alliance fr Autmtive Innvatin wrte in a letter t lawmakers last mnth that custmers shuld nt be frced t pay fr a feature they may nt use, and “this technlgy is a cmpetitive matter between vehicle prducers and shuld remain that way”. It sunds like they just dn’t like being tld what t d.
It is clear that gvernment fficials and the aut industry need t d a lt mre befre we see the widespread use f EVs t pwer hmes r the electrical grid (电网), but requiring this capability in new vehicles is a sensible first step. It isn’t just a nice-t-have feature, like heated seats and a mn rf, but an essential ne fr cnsumers and the pwer grid.
12. What did CM annunce regarding its EVs?
A. They can supply hmes with pwer.B. They can cnsume less energy.
C. They will prmte its sales in the EV market.D. They will have larger batteries.
13. What is the main purpse f Senate Bill 233?
A. T enhance cmpetitin amng EV makers.
B. T raise the safety standards in prducing EVs.
C. T speed up the develpment f ec-friendly EVs.
D. T make tw-way charging capability a must in EVs.
14. What is mainly shwn abut autmakers in paragraph 4?
A. Their prmising future.B. Their disagreement.
C. Their wrsening situatins.D. Their new technlgies.
15. What can we infer abut the authr’s attitude twards Senate Bill 233?
A. Disapprve.B. Wait-and-see.C. Favrable.D. Cnservative.

Harry’s reward
Harry didn’t want t learn t swim. He culdn’t figure ut what the use f learning t swim was. But Harry’s parents believed it was a great pity fr a healthy by t be afraid f the wind and the sea.
“Everybdy, especially every Englishman and by, shuld knw hw t swim,” Papa had said. “There is never any knwing the use it may be f.”
“Isn’t it very hard t learn?” Harry asked.
“It takes sme patience,” his father said. “But in three weeks r s, yu shuld be able t swim fairly well, if yu have a lessn every day.”
There was n escaping it, hwever. Papa, thugh very kind, was very firm, and nce he said a thing, it had t be dne. S with a rather white face, pr Harry set ff every day fr his swimming lessn. He was a quick and clever by, and a strng by, and his father knew this. After the initial fear was vercme, it went n better and faster than culd have been expected. Tw weeks later, Harry had the pleasure f hearing his father say t his mther, “He swims already very nearly as well as I d myself.”
Seacliff, the place at which the family was spending the summer, was nt a fashinable watering place but a little village. There were a few gentlemen’s huses in the neighbrhd, s that in fine weather merry grups met at the little sheltered bay amng the rcks.
One day, Harry, having finished his wn mrning swim, set ff t walk hme at his ease. Suddenly a sund disturbed his pleasant thughts. A carriage was rushing wildly alng, cming nearer and nearer. The driver, Ann, std upright in the carriage (马车), hitting the pr hrse as if she were mad, while frm time t time she screamed, “Help, help!”
“What is it?” screamed Harry t, as Ann passed. She wuld nt stp, but she threw back sme wrds thrugh the wind. “My sister—Alice—is drwning (淹溺). G t the village t fetch smene wh can swim.”
