Velcro is a hook-and-loop （粘扣的） device that is commonly found on a wide range of products, such as shoes, jackets, and a lot of other equipment in offices, kitchens, and garages. It’s also the name of the company that originally created the "thing"generally known as Velcro.
George de Mestral, a Swiss electrical engineer, is the inventor of Velcro. How he came to the idea of actually making this thing that we call Velcro is a truly incredible story.
One fine morning in 1948, Mestral went for a walk with his dog. After returning from the walk, he found that some seeds got stuck to the dog’s fur. However, the man’s attention was turned to his own trousers, where many similar seeds were also attached.
Upon closer examination, he noticed that there were many small hooks in the seeds that stuck firmly to the loops in the fabric of his trousers. The first idea for what would eventually become Velcro struck him like lightning. If he could artificially recreate the same thing, by making pairs of hooks-and-loops that stick to each other firmly, then there would be almost no need to tie things up all the time to secure them, nor would zippers, which were quite popular in those days, be necessary any longer. He decided to call the product he formed Velcro.
Like many inventions, Velcro also faced a great deal of criticism,but Mestral stood by his design and continued to make structural changes to enhance its bonding strength. He worked with a Frenchmah to come up with a perfect hook-and-loop device. Mestral patented Velcro in 1955.
Velcro didn’t do very well initially; much of that was due to its lack of aesthetic appeal. It came in dull colors and often looked quite "unattractive". But soon, even NASA helped to boost Velcro’s image by using it in a lot of equipment that went into space along with astronauts.
24. What can we know about Velcro according to the passage
A. It’s been replaced by zippers.
B. It’s a nature-inspired product.
C. It’s an established shoe brand.
D. It’s a hook commonly used in offices.
25. Which of the following best describes George de Mestral
A. Talented. B. Considerate. C. Sympathetic. D. Innovative.
26. How did the public originally react to Velcro
A. They were critical of it.
B. They paid no attention to it.
C. They thought of it as a practical item.
D. They were dissatisfied with its function.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. A controversial device. B. A brilliant creation.
C. An unexpected discovery. D. An unforgettable experience.

As I walked into the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theater, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine. On the way to the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of vintage（复古的）movie posters and the theater entrance made me feel like I was on Broadway. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing—The Barker.
The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a "part-talkie". Before films included synchronized（同步的）sound, films were played with live accompaniment and contained subtitles to add context. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes throughout the film; these films were considered "part-talkies".
The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut（首次登场）of all of the main cast. The film was revolutionary not only for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so when I finished The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new for the first time.
The experience I had at Dryden Theater was unlike any movie-going experience I had ever had. The music, the film, and the atmosphere itself were completely unique! Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and stripped us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie—one that attending The Barker reminded me of.
"Barbenheimer", a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. "Barbenheimer" brought back the pastime of going to the cinema—one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema.
28. Who made the audience of The Barker know better about its background
A. A star who was cast in the movie.
B. A man who had a look of the past.
C. A staff member working at the box office.
D. A gentleman walking from the last century.
29. Which of the following is true of "part-talkies"
A. The Barker is a "part-talkie".
B."Part-talkies"are totally silent.
C."Part-talkies"involve live accompaniment.
D. The films before The Barker are "part-talkies".
30. What does the underlined word "stripped" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Accused. B. Informed. C. Robbed. D. Warned.
31. What does the author suggest
A. Watching movies at home.
B. Seeing the film The Barker.
C. Having more big screen experiences.
D. Interacting more with people around us.
D
Birds rely on their keen sense of hearing to detect prey（猎物）and identify other birds on the basis of their songs. In fact, birds have better hearing than humans, so they hear with much more detail. So how do birds hear
Birds and humans both have an inner ear and a middle ear. However, birds differ from humans in that they lack an external ear structure. Where humans have an outer ear organ, birds have a funnel-shaped opening that functions as their outer ear, located on each side of their head. These openings are usually positioned behind and slightly below a bird’s eyes and are protected by soft feathers.
The position of a bird’s head also plays a role in its hearing abilities. Scientists have determined that noises register at different frequencies on each side of the bird’s head. Depending on the angle from which the noise originates, it registers with a certain frequency in the left eardrum but with a different frequency in the right eardrum. This allows the bird to locate a sound’s origin.
For example, owls are known for their extremely accurate hearing, which helps them locate prey at night. This hearing ability is due in part to the unbalanced arrangement of the ear openings, with one opening being lower than the other. Sounds register in these openings at slightly different times. Owls can use this time difference, which is only 30 millionths of a second, to determine whether the sounds are coming from their left or their right. Other birds of prey have flaps in front of their ears that help them determine whether sounds are coming from above them or below them. Some owls do appear to have ears on the top of their head, but those are actually feathers controlled by small muscles under the skin that do not affect their hearing at all.
32. What is the difference between birds and humans according to paragraph 2
A. Ears’ structure. B. Ears’ function.
C. Ears’ position. D. Ears’ sensitivity.
33. What does the underlined word "This" in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. The angle of noise sources.
B. The bird’s unique ear structure.
C. The intensity of the sound around the bird.
D. The difference in frequencies between the eardrums.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The flaps of birds of prey have little impact on their hearing.
B. Owls determine the direction of sound based on their feathers.
C. Different birds have varying abilities to judge the direction of sound.
D. Many birds have unbalanced positions of the ear openings besides owls.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Secret of Owls’ Hearing B. Special Ear Structure of Birds
C. Different Hearing Systems of Birds D. Remarkable Hearing Abilities of Birds

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious.___36___Is it right Maybe not.
Techno-optimism can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems.

One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car.

However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable.
___39___Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles.Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.
Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. ___40___Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability.
A. People used to fall into this trap.
B. So where should we look for answers instead
C. The modern world’s simple solution is technology.
D. Moreover, they are more energy-intensive to produce.
E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold.
