New Zealand is one of the best countries in the world to experience how life might have been in prehistoric times. New Zealand is a nature lover’s paradise(乐园) with its conservation reserves.

It was about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at the Bellport, New York, got into her car and began driving home. She had traveled the route so many times that she almost drove automatically: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then—bang! Out of nowhere a car crashed into Esposito’s car, pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she got stuck in the vehicle.

As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed when he heard the crash coming from not far outside his bedroom window.

A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and rushed out. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We’re always on duty. ”

The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. Once making sure the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposito's car straddling (骑跨) the railroad tracks. And then he heard a bell sound, which signaled a coming train.

DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and hit on the driver’s side window. She just looked at him, “I don’t know where I am,” she said.

“You’re on the railroad tracks,” DiPinto yelled. “We have to get you off right now!” The train was traveling at a speed of 65 miles per hour toward them. The driver’s door couldn’t be opened due to the crash, so DiPinto ran to the passenger side. He threw open the door, pushed aside the airbags, seized Esposito’s arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he finally got her out and walked her to safety as quickly as he could.

Within seconds, the train crashed into the car. “It was like a Hollywood movie, ” DiPinto told reporters the next day.

“Last night, ” said Greg Miglino Chief of the South Country Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck. ”

24. What can we know about the accident from the first paragraph?

A. Esposito was not familiar with the road.

B. Esposito was driving too fast.

C. The crash was violent.

D. It should have been avoided.

25. Why was the situation so dangerous?

A. Esposito was badly injured.

B. Esposito was to be hit by the train.

C. Esposito was firmly stuck in the car.

D. The driver’s door couldn’t be opened.

26. What does Greg Miglino really mean?

A. He is praising DiPinto’s heroic action.

B. DiPintodidn’t act as professionally.

C. A firefighter should be ready any time.

D. Fire trucks are not enough for emergencies.

27. What is the best title of the passage?

A. A woman had an accident on the way home at night.

B. A woman had a narrow death escape.

C. A firefighter managed to become a hero overnight.

D. A firefighter saved a woman from a further accident.

C

Black rhinos(犀牛) have terrible eyesight. Even so, these African giants easily fend off hungry predators such as lions and hyenas. Their basic body plan has proved to be good enough to survive on African grasslands full of large predators, being very large, thick-skinned, big sword-like horns.

But those protective traits(特征) are no match for humans with guns. Today the species is critically endangered largely due to poaching. But the rhinos may have an unlikely ally against poachers: the red-billed oxpecker. The chatty, sociable birds often hang out on the backs of rhinos, feasting on parasitic ticks(寄生虫).And actually, research has shown that the tick is the favorite diet of an oxpecker.

The birds also get nutrients by picking at sores on the rhinos’ bodies. Victoria University of Melbourne behavioral ecologist Roan Plotz suspected that the rhinos put up with this indignity because the oxpeckers make loud alarm calls whenever they see humans approach, giving the rhinos an early warning to flee.

To test whether the oxpeckers do, in fact, act as noisy lookouts, Plotz and his team implanted(植入) radio transmitters in the rhinos’ horns. This didn’t hurt the rhinos and allowed the researchers to track the animals.

“And approach them undetected, when the oxpeckers were on the back and when the oxpeckers were not on their backs, to get an idea of if the birds do alarm them and if the rhinos do listen.”

The researchers found that rhinos without oxpeckers detected an approaching human only 23 percent of the time, at an average distance of 27 meters. But when oxpeckers were present, the birds alarmed the rhinos 100 percent of the time. And they detected the human 61 meters away on average. And the more oxpeckers on the scene , the greater the detection distance.

 “It makes sense because the more eyes you have on your back, looking out for you, the more chance that they can pick up anything coming. There can be no doubt that the rhino is listening on the oxpecker alarm call.”

28. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean?

A. Defend against.                    B. Feed.

C. Hide from.                       D. Attract.

29. Why do the birds hang on the back of rhinos?

A. To protect rhinos from poachers.

B. To seek protection from rhinos.

C. To find food over the rhino’s body.

D. To let rhinos carry them around.

30. What do the researchers find?

A. Rhinos have poor eyesight.

B. The birds alarm and rhinos listen.

C. There are many ticks on rhinos.

D. The birds have sharp eyes.

31. What can best describe the relationship between the birds and rhinos?

A. They protect each other from dangers.

B. They are food source for each other.

C. They depend on each other for survival.

D. They have win-win partnership.

D

Mental health is deteriorating(恶化) among young people globally. The incidence of depression and anxiety is increasing, and this not only lowers quality of life, but can have a lasting negative impact as an adolescent reaches adulthood. 

Many experts are trying to get at the root causes of this decline, in order to find ways to prevent further deterioration and to provide more effective help when needed. Two “emerging determinants of interest” are (a) over use of screen-based technology, and (b) too little time spent in nature. Most research to date has considered these factors independently, but a group of scientists from University of Adelaide recently decided to look at them jointly, to see if the combination of high screen time (ST) and low “green time” (GT), could affect mental wellbeing. 

The result is published on September 4, 2020, in the scientific journal PLOS One. In it, the researchers analyzed data from 186 studies that looked at children's interactions with screen-based technology and nature and their psychological outcomes, including mental health, cognitive(认知的) functioning, and academic achievement. 

What they found was that, in general, excessive screen time results in poorer psychological health, whereas green time improves mental wellbeing. Ten years ago in the U.S., the average daily screen time for 8-to-18-year-olds was 7.5 hours. As the study states, “This greatly exceeds recreational ST guidelines of 2 hours or less per day,” and is made even more challenging by the fact that so many schools are using technology to teach classes.

While some screen time can be beneficial, such as promoting connections and enabling tasks to be done more efficiently, there are many ways in which it is harmful. Excessive screen time “replaces important protective behaviors for mental health such as physical activity, getting adequate sleep, in-person social interactions, and academic activities.”

And yet, when children do go outside, they become more physically active. Their day-night rhythm is regulated, thanks to the exposure to sunlight, thus “encouraging healthy sleep-wake cycles and improved sleep, which is key for psychological well-being.” 

32. The research of the University of Adelaide is different because________?

A. The researchers tried to find the root causes.

B. The researchers analyzed large amounts of data.

C. The researchers tried to find a solution.

D. They combined ST and GT.

33. What are the findings of their research?

A. Mental health is worsening among young people globally.

B. School technology contributes to the most screen time.

C. ST and GT have opposite impact on mental health.

D. Guidelines of screen time shouldn’t be more than two hours.

34. Why does over screen time affect mental health?

A. It replaces mentally healthy behaviors.

B. There is too much unhealthy information on the screen.

C. Teens can’t break away from screen addiction.

D. Teens can’t sleep well after screen time.

35. What is implied in the passage?

A. Over screen time worsens teens’ health.

B. Teens need more green time, less screen time.

C. Teens should be banned from any screen time.

D. Screen-based technology shouldn’t be allowed in schools.

During my trip to England last year, I have the opportunity to visit Stonehenge. Almost every tourist who travel to England visits this ancient place.

I remember it was very hot day with a lot of sunshine. The Stonehenge is made of huge square stones , that weigh nearly five tons each. It was amazed to see them up close. Something that I real asked myself was how the ancient people could have been clever enough to arrange the stones and to place them altogether to form a circle.

Walking around the stones, I noticed how isolated we were; there was nothing else stand around them. Were they also isolated in ancient times? Maybe only when I travel back in time can I found out the truth!

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have learned that English volunteer guides for Lingquan Temple scenic spot are wanted in the summer vacation. I am writing to apply for this position.

I’m a Senior 3 student in Suining city, and I believe I am qualified for the position.

What’s more, as a fan of Chinese ancient history, I am sure my knowledge will prove helpful when I introduce Lingquan Temple to foreign guests.

I would be very grateful if you could offer me the opportunity. Thank you for your consideration.
