While looking for comfortable places to sleep in this winter, a black bear picked out a culvert (涵洞) near Wannaska, Minnesota. Unfortunately for the bear, this decision didn’t pan out.
In late February, the snow around him started melting, causing the culvert to flood and then freeze again. The poor fellow was trapped in snow and ice for three days before some kind humans noticed him and called authorities for help.
By the time experts arrived, people had already tried digging the bear out and giving him a variety of unhealthy (for bears) treats. Luckily, the bear wasn’t interested in the food as he was still in a mode in which he slept through the winter months.
A wildlife research biologist Andrew Tri arrived on the scene to assess the situation. “He tried to push himself out and kind of got trapped on some frozen water that had frozen and thawed (融化) frozen and thawed and he got stuck in place and tired,” the biologist explained.
The team first injected the bear with an anesthetic. Once he was asleep, it took five strong men to pull the bear, estimated to weigh between 375 and 400 pounds, out of the culvert. Andrew gave him a full check-up and determined he was in great physical shape, even though he was still a bit sleepy! After that, they put him in a cage and transported him to a wildlife reserve to finish out the winter.
In an online post, Andrew shared the story along with photos of the bear rescue. He summed up with a reminder to the public to never “bother” a bear, either in the wild or near its home. “If you’re ever concerned about a bear’s safety, by all means give us a call,” he advised. “But don’t try to move it or feed it! Doing so can result in a bad situation either for you or for the bear.”
24. What can we learn about the bear from the first two paragraphs
A. He was found by his companions.
B. He searched for food in the culvert.
C. He was tired of staying in the culvert.
D. He had trouble getting out of the culvert alone.
25. Why was bear incurious about the food people gave him
A. He was not hungry. B. He wasn’t fully awake.
C. He didn’t like the food. D. He refused to eat the food from humans.
26. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Reasons why people rescued the bear.
B. Actions taken by people to rescue the bear.
C. Promises Andrew made to rescue the bear.
D. Dangers people might face in rescuing the bear.
27. What did Andrew mainly do in the last paragraph
A. He gave people some suggestions.
B. He asked people to check bears’ safety.
C. He called on people to protect animals.
D. He told people bears are dangerous animals.
C
Archaeologists in Mexico have discovered the remains of a lost Maya city hidden deep within the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula.
The site, located in the Balamkú ecological reserve in the Mexican state of Campeche, contains numerous large pyramids that were built during the Classic Period of the Maya civilisation. The archaeologists named the location Ocomtún, meaning “stone column (石柱)” in Yucatec Maya language, in a nod to the many stone columns spreading around in the core area which covers over 123 acres.
The team found the city while mapping the Maya lowlands with billions of lasers shot from an aircraft flying overhead. This technique, known as light detection and ranging, is a noninvasive (非创伤的) way for researchers to understand the geography of human-made structures hidden beneath leaves. In this case, the technique revealed a Maya city with several pyramidal structures, with the tallest towering nearly 50 feet.
“The site serves as an important center at the regional level,” lead archaeologist Ivan prajc said in the statement, “and it is a breakthrough in Maya archeology.”
The Maya had numerous city sites spread across southern Mexico and Central America; the civilization reached its peak during the first millennium AD until it “collapsed” between 800 and 1000. In addition to finding the pyramids and columns, while on foot, the archaeologists discovered ceramics (陶瓷), three squares, a court used to play ball games and a complex comprising low and thin structures arranged almost in circles.
However, the archaeologists are still investigating how the Maya used some of the structures. “It is possible that they are markets or spaces designed for community events,” prajc said. “The most common ceramic types that we collected on the surface and in some test pits are from the Late Classic. However, the analysis of samples of this material will offer us more reliable data on the sequences of occupation.”
28. What do we know from paragraph 2
A. The stone structures dot on the nucleus of the site.
B. The pyramids built by Egyptians used to be huge.
C. The site covers an area of nearly 124 acres.
D. The site discovered used to be an ecological reserve.
29. What did prajc think of the site
A. Frightening and puzzling. B. Incredible and romantic.
C. Complex and fictional. D. Invaluable and significant.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. The site was once a flourishing city.
B. Some tall and thin structures lay on the squares.
C. The ancient Mayas lived on ceramic manufacturing.
D. The pyramids and columns were found quite by accident.
31. Which would be the best title for the text
A. The long-lost ancient civilization
B. Lost Maya city discovered in jungles
C. Archaeologists’ new discoveries in Mexico
D. Human-made structures hidden beneath leaves
D
Also known as Adlerian psychology, individual psychology offers a refreshing perspective and insights into interpersonal relationships, fear and trauma (精神创伤). It is a theory of human behavior that focuses on the basic need of belonging and the importance of engaging in constructive actions. The Courage to Be Disliked, using the theories of Alfred Adler, follows a dialogue between a philosopher or a teacher and a young man. The philosopher helps his student to understand how each of us is able to determine the direction of our own life, free from the past trauma and the expectations of others.
Alfred Adler believes that our past trauma don’t define our future. Instead, we choose how trauma affect our present or future lives. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences, the so-called trauma. Instead, we make whatever suits our purposes out of them. We are not determined by our experiences, but the meaning we give them is self-determining.
In other words, he claims that one doesn’t suffer from the shock of their experiences (the trauma), but that we feel that way because that was our goal in the first place. Adler conveys an example of a person that doesn’t want to step out of his house due to anxiety and fear filling him up every time he steps outside. The philosopher asserts that the person creates fear and anxiety so that he stays inside.
Why Because possibly he’ll have to face the uncertainty of being out there, facing the mass. Possibly, the man believes that he’s so average that nobody will like him. So, it’s better to stay home and not risk feeling unwanted emotions.
In the Adlerian worldview, the past doesn’t matter. You don’t think about past causes; you think about present goals. You choose an emotion or behavior to achieve a present goal.
32. Why does the author mention The Courage to Be Disliked
A. To propose a solution. B. To offer a definition.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To present the background.
33. What is Adler’s perspective on fear and trauma
A. They will always define a person’s future.
B. They should be avoided at all costs in life.
C. They can be overcome by personal choices.
D. They have no impact on a person’s mental well-being.
34. What does the underlined word “asserts” mean in paragraph 3
A. Recommends. B. Claims. C. Promises. D. Denies.
35. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce Adler in detail.
B. To analyze the causes of fear and trauma.
C. To explore the effects of past experiences.
D. To call on people to focus on the present and future.

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。
Here are some things you might not know about black boxes.
They’re not black. Black boxes are the same colour as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. 36 . The Golden Gate Bridge is a darker shade, while the international orange used for black boxes is much brighter.
A black box comes in two parts. The black box is made up of two separate pieces of equipment: the flight data recorder (FDR)and a cockpit voice recorder (CVR). They are compulsory on any commercial flight or corporate jet. They are usually kept in the tail of an aircraft. 37 . The FDRs record things like airspeed, altitude, vertical acceleration and fuel flow. The CVRs track not only the crew’s interactions with each other and air traffic control, but also background noise that can give vital clues to investigators.
38 . Black boxes start emitting (发出) a pulse if their sensors touch water. They work to a depth of just over four kilometers and can “ping” once a second for thirty days before the battery runs out. If a flight crashed into the ocean, it might take search teams a few years to find and raise the black boxes. However, they are worthy of the time. 39 .
They’re almost undestroyable. The FDRs are usually double-wrapped in titanium or stainless steel. 40 . The crucial part that contains the memory boards can bear a 227 kg weight with a pin attached to it, which is dropped onto the unit from a height of three meters. Researchers try to crush it, destroy it in an hour of 1,100 degrees Celsius fire, submerge it in a pressurized salt water tank and immerse it in jet fuel.
A. They need to be updated in time.
B. It can take a long time to find one.
C. They are a tone of international orange.
D. They must be able to stand extreme conditions.
E. They can make the entire transport system safer.
F. They’ll provide valuable information about the crash.
G. They are more likely to survive a crash at such a place.

We will set up 30 rides in these areas. This year, there will be two new events-a fancy dress competition and an ice sculpture exhibition. We will set up a tent for the fancy dress competition. If you are good at designing clothes, bring your works to the competition. Finally, next to the entrance, there will be four food shops where visitors can enjoy food from around the world, such as Italian food, Chinese food, Japanese food, Mexican food and so on. We have attached a map for your reference. You can pick one up at the ticket office. That’s all. Thank you.

参考范文：
The Waste of Food in Our School
I would like to draw attention to an issue that requires our joint efforts.
In recent weeks, I’ve witnessed a concerning trend of food waste in our school cafeteria. Every day, I can see dozens of buckets filled with uneaten noodles, rice and vegetables. For one thing, the number of students who are particular about food is on the rise. For another, students buy more than they can eat.
The main cause, I think, is that students fail to appreciate the importance of food scarcity. So what I want to stress is that we’d better have a balanced and healthy diet and buy the right amount of food. In brief, cherishing food is virtue. Let’s take action!
第二节：
参考范文：
The little boy stood his ground, determined to pay for the limping puppy. He looked at the store owner with unwavering confidence and replied, “Sir, I understand that this puppy may not be able to run and play like the others. He may not be perfect, but that doesn’t make him any less deserving of a loving home. Moved by the boy’s determination and compassion, the store owner softened his stance. With a smile, he nodded and said, “You’re right. Every creature deserves a chance to be loved. I will gladly sell him to you.”
Overjoyed, the little boy handed over his $2.37 to the store owner. From that moment on, he became the proud owner of the limping puppy. With great enthusiasm, he named him Buddy, symbolizing the companionship they would share. True to his word, the little boy faithfully returned to the store each month to pay his fifty cents, determined to fulfill his promise of full payment. As time went by, Buddy proved to be an extraordinary companion, despite his physical limitations. His playful spirit shone through, and he found unique ways to enjoy life with his devoted owner.
