After all I was too old and too sick. I hoped I’d find a new home where someone would love me. But. . .Saturday arrived and as usual in came some people. The other dogs barked, standing up, eager to see what was happening. I didn’t bother. No one would , want me. They never did.Sure enough, most, people walked past me without a second look. Those ;who did stop complained(抱怨) about my age or illness and walked on, I watched as one by one the dogs were picked up and taken away by their new owners.I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. Then I heard a voice close by.“Dad, can we see him?”I waited for the answer.“Are you sure, Tommy? He’s an old guy, and he’s sick. ”“I don’t care if he’s sick. I am too.”I opened one eye to see a boy in a wheel chair. The boy was staring at me with wide, brown eyes. I raised my head, meeting his serious watch.“I want him, Dad. He’s the one.”Within minutes I was out of the cage. Tommy held me tightly as his Dad wheeled him to their car.Soon we pulled up at my new home.Later that evening Tommy called me into his bedroom.“You want to come up, boy?”He patted the bed beside him.Gathering up all my strength, I jumped. Tommy took me quickly and helped me up. He moved his body across to the table and picked up a plate.“Don’t tell Mom and Dad,” he said. “Do you like cheese?”For the first time in a long while, my tail began to wag(摇动).24.

Many have no medical use or benefits. When taken, drugs find their way into the bloodstream. From there, they move to the brain and other parts of the body. In the brain, drugs may strengthen or dull the senses, change how alert(警觉) or sleepy people feel, and sometimes reduce physical pain. Because of the way these drugs work on the brain, they affect the ability to make healthy choices and decisions: Although drugs canmake people feel good at first, they can do a lot of harm to the body and brain.People take drugs for the pleasure they believe they can bring. Often people try to talk friends into taking drugs just because they don’t want to be the only ones doing them. Some people believe drugs will help them think better, be more popular, or become better artists or athletes. Others are curious. And some people want to fit in and take drugs because of pressure. Many people use drugs because they’re depressed or think drugs will help them escape their problems. But drugs just mask feelings and problems; they don’t solve them. The feelings and problems remain and might even be worse.If you think you—or a friend-—may be addicted to drugs, talk to a parent, your doctor or nurse. They can help you get the help you heed. Several kinds of treatment are available for drug addiction. The two main types are behavioral(helping a person change behaviors) and pharmacological(treating a person by using medicine).It can be hard to kick drug addiction without professional help and treatment. It takes time and isn’t something that can be done alone—everyone needs support. Experts who help peoplewith addictions are trained to help, not judge. To find a drug treatment center in your area, search online, or ask a doctor for advice.28. What does Paragraph1mainly talk about?A. How drugs affect users.B: Drugs can have medical benefits.C.

To reduce pressure.C. To become more creative.D. To make friends.30. What does the underlined word “mask” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Show.B. Cover.C. Avoid.D. Solve.31. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. drugs are necessary for lowering physical painB. drugs can help to make correct choices or decisionsC. it is impossible to get rid of drug addictions by oneselfD. drug addicts can be treated only in behavioral or pharmacological wayDIn America, experts find that campus jobs not only can help students in their studies, but also in their lives after school. That is why more and more universities are providing work experiences for students.In 2011, Clemson, a public research university in South Carolina, asked Neil Burton, head of the Career Center, to develop a program that ;was not just a , way of creating more jobs, but to provide special positions that would teach them valuable skill Is related to their, interests or field of study. It also wanted the students to work in professional environments that , would, provide useful experience in their job searches after college.The program works like this: any Clemson professor or employee in need of professional help can prepare a proposal(提案). This could be a biology. professor looking for a research assistant, or an administrator who needs help raising donations(捐助), for the school, It can also be any outside organization that works with Clemson, such as a company that is designing new buildings for the campus.If the position satisfies the requirements of the program, it will be, listed on, Clemson’s website. Students ask to be considered for the job and go through an interview, If accepted, students are permitted to work for one term, Before they start, they are also required to take a class that informs them of what to expect in the position. Finally, at the end of the term, students are tested on what they have learned from the experience.The program has been a success from the very start. By 2014, Clemson had 626 students working through the program. And Burton believes the program could help over 1,000 students by 2018.“This is not just a success for the school. Students who take part in the program are 20% more likely to have a full-time job offer once they complete their studies.” After all, every day spent in college should help prepare students for what comes after, not just classwork, ”says Burton.32. Why did Clemson ask Burton to develop the program?A. To help poor students find jobs.B. To research the relationship between studies and jobs.C. To prepare students for life after graduation.D. To prepare some professional proposals for Clemson.33. What is he right order of the things a student should do to work through the program?a. Apply for a position.b. Take a class.c. Be tested.d.

He created a cheap soap that could potentially help fight skin can cer. His invention won him the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, an annual competition that invites students in grades five through eight to “change their world for the better with a single innovative idea”, on O ctober 10, 2023.At age 4, Heman moved to America from Ethiopia, where he always saw people constantly working under the hot sun. While he considered ideas for the competition, it struck him that so many people in his hometown were unaware of the risk of sun exposure. The recollections fueled his decision to focus his research on skin cancer.“I hoped to make my idea something that not only was great in terms of science but also could be affordable for as many people as possible,” Heman said. As he initiall y thought about his approach, Heman wanted his product to be something as much of a “constant” in people’s life as possible, an item that was most convenient in contrast to other medicinal products.In June 2023, he was selected as a top-ten finalist and paired with 3M product engineering specialist Deborah Isabelle to develop and test a physical prototype (原型) of his idea. It took the pair four months of trial and error to create “Skin Cancer Treating Soap” (SCTS). The bar contains chemicals that restore t he body’s dendritic cells killed by cancer cells. Once reconstructed, dendritic cells, the body’s first line of defense against cancer and infections, are capable of fighting against cancer cells. SCTS, which costs just 50 cents a bar, still has to undergo clinical trials. The process could take over five years.Heman’s plan for the soap stretches far beyond the winning. He has a five-year plan, which includes seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration. He also hopes to start a nonprofit todist ribute the soap in the future. “There is still a lot left to do,” the 14-year-old teenager said.4. What inspired Heman’s idea for the invention?A．Folk tales. B．Childhood memories.C．Working experiences. D．Medical observations.5. In which aspect did Heman want his product to differ from other treatments?A．Accessibility. B．Function. C．Security. D．Effectiveness. 6. How does SCTS work?A．It minimizes solar radiation. B．It kills cancer cells directly.C．It reactivates destroyed cells. D．It removes viruses from the skin.7. Which of the following best describes Heman according to the last paragraph?A．Industrious and sociable. B．Ambitious and caring.C．Intelligent and competitive. D．Sensitive and conservative.Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landscapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them.Trail of the Lost was her answer.It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey.The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search.Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations.The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT.Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek.8. What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost?A．Her love for her prior career.B．Her strong attachment to the PCT.C．The stress from the missing families.D．Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance.9. What is presented on the second level of the book?A．Efforts by different people in searches.B．A string of wilderness survival tips.C．Approaches to information classification.D．Respective stories of the three hikers.10. What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventures?A．To promote her book.B．To make her a celebrity.C．To motivate hikers to challenge themselves.D．To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT.11. What can we say about the book?A．It targets single youth.B．It’s a romantic novel.C．It’s based on actual events.D．It’s a detailed account of a journey.Do you have a favorite sport? Are you passionate about sewing or reading? Typically, you engage in these activities simply because you enjoy them. Would you be taken aback to know the overjustification effect that when you are rewarded for your beloved activities, your desire to participate in them diminishes?Edward Deci, a psychology professor, conducted a series of experiments, in one of which Deci divided the participants into two groups: one was paid to complete a puzzle, and the other was not paid to. After money was removed, the group that was previously paid to play showed less motivation to complete the task than the group that was never paid and only did the puzzle for enjoyment. The outcome demonstrated the overjustification effect, which occurs when an external stimulation decreases a person’s i nternal motivation to perform a behavior or engage in an activity. According to the self-determination theory, three conditions are essential for people to feel internally motivated and perform at their best: autonomy, freedom from external restrictions; competence, the need to feel capable, and relatedness, the need to feel connected with others. In Deci’s experiment,money acted as a tie, which reduced participants’ autonomy, a crucial component of internal motivation, discouraging them from experiencing the freedom of external restrictions. The pressure to perform for the money lessened the pleasure and freedom felt by those who were doing the puzzle merely for fun.But if external stimulation is tied to performance, the overjustification effect is less influential. For example, being rewarded for studying is unlikely to decrease internal motivation because the grade depends upon actually doing well rather than just going through the motions.While the overjustification effect can reduce motivation, some strategies can lower its impact. One is to focus on providing feedback and recognition rather than concrete rewards. For instance, praising an individual’s effort or acknowledging their accomplishments can maintain their internal motivation. Additionally, allowing individuals to have autonomy and control over their tasks also works. By giving them the freedom to choose how they complete tasks, individuals are more likely to be internally motivated and experience a greater sense of satisfaction and engagement.12. What does the underlined word “diminishes” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Remains. B．Weakens. C．Ceases. D．Solidifies.13. How did Deci prove the overjustification effect in the experiment?A．By interpreting a concept.B．By presenting an argument.C．By making a comparison.D．By describing a phenomenon.14. What is mainly illustrated in paragraph 3?A．The skills needed for a puzzle.B．The core elements of inner drives.C．The impact of autonomy on competence.D．The theoretical basis for the overjustification effect.15. Which serves as an example of preventing the overjustification effect?A．Speaking highly of a pupil’s hard work.B．Rewarding a kid with candy for playing the violin.C．Offering a clerk financial bonuses for daily routines.D．Promising an employee a decent position for doing his duty.Culture shock is the experience that often accompanies moving to an unfamiliar place. It could be marked by feeling lost, anxious or hesitant. 16 You’ll become accustomed to the same things that initially “shocked” you! Read on for tips for overcoming culture shock in a short time.When deciding to visit an entirely new place, don’t expect the traditions and cultures followed by your current home to be followed by the new land. 17 So keep your expectations low.Even though it is an unfamiliar environment hosting different cultures and traditions from the one you’re used to, it’s vital to broaden your mind and be willing to try new things. Don’t be quick to form discriminatory judgments just because it is “odd”. Have a go at something different, like a food or clothing —different isn’t necessarily bad. 18Social psychologists claim that lack of information is the biggest contributor to prejudices. Talk to the local population and ask them about how their culture works instead of assuming the worst. 19 Plus, you’ll make some friends who can ease your transformation.Keep yourself open-minded, await new experiences and familiarize yourself with the conduct of the people. 20 Go out there and have fun!Leigh Ann Sondrup, a devoted nurse at Valleywise, earned the title of a hero after a remarkable off-duty rescue.The extraordinary chain of events unfolded as Sondrup was heading home from _________ one morning.

Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

The company has been one of the world's most popular toy-makers and last year saw its fastest sales growth in five years. The "dream job" in Denmark led to the opportunity to be a judge on a TV show in the US.As a child growing up in a village near Glasgow, she never dreamed of being a fashion designer or a toy designer.She was not a Lego fan as a child. "I played with Lego with my brother when we were kids, "she said. "When we were really little, we had the big box of bricks (积木). But as I got a little bit older, I Lego. I felt there wasn't anything interesting for me. ""It wasn't until I joined the company that I really got back into it. But we take that into account and think how we can create Lego experiences for kids, adults, and everyone over the world, so that everyone can find something that is related to them. Every time I got a project, I would always change it to something fun, playful and creative. I always loved being creative and also really loved maths."And her advice to new Lego designers was to get building. "Creativity is the key and being hands-on with the bricks," she said. "Whenever you can get ideas out, just do it. Whenever you can get your hands on the bricks, build, build, build.""And if you are picking your education, I think certainly pick something that is based on design.

In Ethiopia's Somali area, people have seen the failures of what should have been three straight rainy seasons. Droughts do come and go over the years. However, the lack of rainfall has led to the driest conditions in 40 years in parts of Somalia and Ethiopia.UNICEF is the United Nation's children's agency. Local Zaynab Wali told a visiting team with UNICEF that she and her seven children had never seen a drought like this. She said the government gave out food for animals during the last drought five years ago. "This time, we even don't have enough food for our family."Children walk among the bodies of dead animals, which died from lack of food and energy. Somalia Consortium works to improve international aid for Somalia. It said in a separate statement that in Somalia, more than 7 million people need emergency help. It is asking international organizations to give much more to the country."We are just one month into the long dry season, and I have already lost 25 goats and sheep, "Hafsa Bedel in Ethiopia's Somali area told UNICEF. She also lost four camels, a large desert animal, as well. She said there was nowhere for her animals to eat. She added that there was not enough food for her own family, including her six children.UNICEF thinks that more than 150, 000 children in such areas of Ethiopia have dropped out of school. They are needed to help find the limited amount of water and help their families with other work.One young boy was seen supporting an animal, a donkey. The donkey was once important for carrying goods. But now, it had become too weak to walk on its own.8．Why did Zaynab Wali mention the last drought?A．To show the need to protect animals.B．To express her disappointment this time.C．To prove the high frequency of drought.D．To praise the government for its timely help.9．What is Somalia Consortium trying to do now?A．Get more foreign help.B．Warn people of the risk of drought.C．Offer more education to the children there.D．Make clear the number of people in need.10．What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A．The sweet picture of the boy and the animal.B．The functions of animals in farming.C．The importance of taking care of the weak animal.D．The seriousness of the drought.11．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Drought in Eastern Africa Leaves Animals in DangerB．Drought Makes People of Eastern Africa Leave Their HomeC．UN Officials Care for Children Affected by DroughtD．Millions Face Risk as Drought Affects Eastern Africa阅读理解When you visit Kinderdijk, one of the most visited villages in the Netherlands, you step right into the middle of Dutch history.Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, where the Lek and Noord rivers meet together. Much of the village is near or even below sea level. Although there are canals and dykes (堤坝), the lowlands of the village are still at risk of flooding (洪灾). Among the most deadly floods was Saint Elisabeth's flood in 1421, which killed thousands after the dykes broke in several places. To deal with this kind of problem, the Kinderdijk windmills (风车) were built around 1740 to move water from the lower areas to higher ground and into the river.Nineteen of the 20 Kinderdijk windmills remain and were named a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Site in 1997. Of the 19 windmills, 16 still have millers who live inside and control the huge sails (翼板) in the wind. These windmills continue to help manage the Netherlands ongoing fight to stay above water.For tourists, boat tours are offered along the canals and walkways lead from the visitor center to the windmills. Two windmills serve as museums, filled with old millers' items and photos. You can climb up inside to see how the windmills work. The windmills also are working, so be prepared to feel the whole building shake when the sails turn in the wind.Each year, about 500, 000 people visit the Kinderdijk windmills and the buildings have become a must-see on any trip to the Netherlands. There are some windmills north of Amsterdam that "were built for tourists, but we're a historical site where tourists come, so it's the other way around," says Kinderdijk communications manager Peter Paul Klapwijk. "Tourism is a good way to support our site."12．Why were the Kinderdijk windmills built around 1740?A．To protect dykes.B．To produce clean water.C．To prevent floods.D．To keep the sea level from rising.13．What can we learn about Kinderdijk windmills?A．Most of them are working as before.B．Most of them have become museums.C．Several of them have been sold to millers.D．Several of them were destroyed long ago.14．How does Peter Paul Klapwijk feel about so many tourists visiting the windmills?A．Fearful.B．Worried.C．Excited.D．Surprised.15．What does the text mainly introduce?A．The history of Kinderdijk B．A famous historical siteC．An amazing village of canals D．The traditions of the Netherlands二、任务型阅读（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。
