Graduation is a significant milestone for everyone. An 89-year-old man called Rene Neira had been trying to finish a degree since the 1950s. However, in the 1960s, he was so passionate about urban and economic development of the southside of San Antonio that he stopped school and got involved with the local government. From that time, one of his life goals was to earn a degree in economics. In 2017, the grandpa and his 19-year-old granddaughter both enrolled (入学) at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
“There were times when we would get lunch together, be in the library together, and just work silently side-by-side,” Melanie Salazar, Rene’s granddaughter, recalled. “He always had something to say, especially if his professors had different opinions than him,” Melanie said. “And there were often times when a professor would invite him to talk about the past.”
Rene’s college years weren’t easy. “He has worked very hard over time. Especially in recent years, with hearing loss and going through seasons of not having a car, there was a term where he had to take medical leave because he had a stroke, so he couldn’t go back to school that term. And then the pandemic started,” said Melanie.
After four years, their hard work finally paid off—they graduated. Together, they stood on the stage. Everyone broke into applause and cheered for this fantastic pair.
Their story has been making waves online. People have nothing but good words for them, “Awww... I love stories like this. This was such a beautiful moment. Congratulations to both of them. Grandpa definitely demonstrated that one shouldn’t give up their dream no matter how long it takes,” one wrote. Another wrote, “I’m motivated to go back to school myself, thanks to his example.”
Rene had the determination to finish his degree even at an advanced stage in his life. Hard work, patience, and determination are the keys to success, especially when the path is not easy or clear.
19. Why did Rene fail to get a degree when he was young
A. He was not interested in university life then.
B. He devoted himself to city development.
C. He needed to work to support his family.
D. He was not good at his school work.
20. How was Rene’s college life
A. It made him physically ill. B. It was full of surprise.
C. It was smooth and plain. D. It came with challenges.
21. What did people think of Rene’s experience
A. Admirable. B. Doubtful. C. Funny. D. Pitiful.
22. What lesson can we learn from Rene’s story
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. It is never too late to achieve one’s dream.
C. Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (迁徙)patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签)by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out- until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10, 000 monarchs flew from the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand.
The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay.
The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies, ”James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed, ” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too. ”
23. What was hard for David to do in his study
A. Gain financial support. B. Hire qualified workers.
C. Build a new laboratory. D. Find enough monarchs.
24. Why are the butterflies tagged before being released
A. To guarantee their safety.
B. To enable them to fly longer distances.
C. To track their travel routes.
D. To distinguish them from other species.
25. What makes the prisoners feel that they can change
A. The patience the butterflies showed.
B. The hardship the butterflies underwent.
C. The transformation of the butterflies.
D. The devotion of James to the butterflies.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The impact of the research.
B. The findings of James’ study.
C. The release of the prisoners.
D. The life cycle of the butterflies.
【答案】23. D 24. C 25. C 26. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了David James想要研究黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙，但是很难找到足够可以跟踪的蝴蝶，华盛顿州立监狱的囚犯帮助饲养蝴蝶，然后打上包括邮箱地址的标签放飞， James收到了来自发现蝴蝶的人们的信息，从而让研究工作顺利进行，这项工作帮助研究人员确定了理想的种植马利筋和其他植被的地方，这些植被对西海岸黑脉金斑蝶蝶的生命周期很重要，也激发了一些囚犯温和的一面。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签)by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely.( 蝴蝶的飞行路线几乎不为人知，因为它们的数量太少，无法跟随。詹姆斯说，每200只被研究人员标记的帝王蝴蝶，通常只有一只在旅行结束时被找到，而在野外找到200只帝王蝶也不太可能。)”可知，对于戴维来说，研究中最困难的是找到足够的黑脉金斑蝶。故选D。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay. ( 这些标签包括电子邮件地址，在第一批蝴蝶起飞后不久，詹姆斯开始收到发现它们的人发来的信息。报道证实，这些蝴蝶在加州沿海过冬。其中12只降落在圣克鲁斯的Lighthouse Field State Beach。更多的前往Bolinas和Morro Bay。)”可推断，在释放之前给这些蝴蝶打上标签是为了跟踪它们的旅行路线。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. ‘They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,’James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men.‘This butterfly changed,’James recalls prisoners telling him, ‘and maybe we can too.’(它也带来了一些囚犯的温和的一面。“他们非常担心他们会伤害蝴蝶,”詹姆斯说。看着黑脉金斑蝶改变他们的形式也感动了这些男人。“这只蝴蝶改变了,”詹姆斯回忆说,囚犯告诉他,“也许我们也可以。”)”可知，蝴蝶的改变感动了这些囚犯，他们觉得蝴蝶可以变形，他们也可以改变，因此可知是蝴蝶的改变让囚犯感觉自己也可以改变。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners.( 这项工作帮助研究人员确定理想了的种植马利筋和其他植被的地方，这些植被对西海岸黑脉金斑蝶蝶的生命周期很重要。它也激发了一些囚犯温和的一面。)”可推断，本段主要讲述这项研究工作的影响。故选A。
D
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What's more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved（涉及）art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned（随机分配）each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques（技巧）after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. "The more we hear something, the more we retain it," Hardiman says. "It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own."
27. Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study
A. To prove the importance of art at school.
B. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
C. To find a way to help her students learn better.
D. To see if art might improve science learning.
28. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Learn three units in total.
B. Choose what they'd like to learn.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks.
D. Take two types of classes.
29. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Remember. B. Express.
C. Improve. D. Finish.
30. What is the text mainly about
A. Art helps students develop creativity.
B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot
C. Art can make science easier to remember.
D. Art has something in common with science.
【答案】27. D 28. D 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究发现艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What's more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved（涉及）art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.”（更重要的是，当科学课程涉及到艺术时，学生们似乎能记住更多他们所学到的东西。为了证明这一点，Hardiman与一些研究人员和六所当地学校合作）可知，Mariale Hardiman的研究是为了证明艺术是否能够提高科学学习。故选D。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team randomly assigned（随机分配）each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one.”（研究小组将350名学生随机分为两组，一组是传统的科学教室，另一组是艺术教室）以及“This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.”（这使得研究人员能够看到学生在这两种类型的课堂上的表现）等内容可知，在实验中，学生被要求选两种类型的课。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”（这表明，艺术可以帮助学生应用创造性的自学方法）可知，艺术有助于学生的学习，因此此处是说我们听到的越多，我们记住（学到）的就越多，由此可知划线词词义为“记住”。A. Remember. 记住; B. Express. 表达；C. Improve.提高；D. Finish.完成。由此可知A 符合语境。故选A 。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中“Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.”（现在，一项研究发现，艺术可以帮助学生更好地记住他们在科学课上学到的东西）可知，文章主要介绍艺术可以帮助学生更容易记住科学课上学到的东西。故选C。

【66题详解】

This is the first time in my life that I have taken part in such a grand celebration.这是我有生以来第一次参加如此盛大的庆典。
This is the first time that we’ve been able to look at everything.但这是我们第一次看到全景。
This is the first time that he has written in English.这他第一次用英语写作。
如果主句用“一般过去时”即动词是was，那么从句应当使用“过去完成时”，体现“过去的过去”这个语法特点。例如：
It was the first time that she had sung in public. 那是她首次公开演唱。
It was the first time that she had lived independently. 那是她第一次独立生活。
It was the first time that he had wept in nineteen years. 那是他19年来第一次流泪。

Stonehenge
Though there is no clear evidence as to the intended purpose of Stonehenge, it is believed to be a place where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. Located on Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge is older than all of the pyramids in Egypt — more than 5, 000 years old and the site was worked on for around 1, 500 years, which will take you by surprise.
Brighton
You would’ve heard of Brighton Pier, Brighton beach and of course you need have a taste of some authentic (真正的) Brighton Rock. This seaside town is always noisy with lots of events, sights, restaurants and shops.

Not to mention the fact that Bath is rich in culture, history and heritage. You’ll fall in love with this charming town set in the countryside and its 18th century Georgian architecture.
Lake District
The scenery is wonderful, with hills, streams and waterfalls. The Lake District is a mountainous area, with some over 3, 000 feet providing the best rock and winter climbing in the UK. If that’s not your thing, then just simply take in the wonderful views.

Graduation is a significant milestone for everyone. An 89-year-old man called Rene Neira had been trying to finish a degree since the 1950s. However, in the 1960s, he was so passionate about urban and economic development of the southside of San Antonio that he stopped school and got involved with the local government. From that time, one of his life goals was to earn a degree in economics. In 2017, the grandpa and his 19-year-old granddaughter both enrolled (入学) at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
“There were times when we would get lunch together be in the library together, and just work silently side-by-side,” Melanie Salazar, Rene’s granddaughter, recalled. “He always had something to say, especially if his professors had different opinions than him,” Melanie said. “And there were often times when a professor would invite him to talk about the past.”
Rene’s college years weren’t easy. “He has worked very hard over time. Especially in recent years, with hearing loss and going through seasons of not having a car, there was a term where he had to take medical leave because he had a stroke, so he couldn’t go back to school that term. And then the pandemic started,” said Melanie.
After four years, their hard work finally paid off—they graduated. Together, they stood on the stage. Everyone broke into applause and cheered for this fantastic pair.
Their story has been making waves online. People have nothing but good words for them, “Awww... I love stories like this. This was such a beautiful moment. Congratulations to both of them. Grandpa definitely demonstrated that one shouldn’t give up their dream no matter how long it takes,” one wrote. Another wrote, “I’m motivated to go back to school myself, thanks to his example.”
Rene had the determination to finish his degree even at an advanced stage in his life. Hard work patience, and determination are the keys to success, especially when the path is not easy or clear.

A. He was not interested in university life then.

For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (迁徙)patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打标签)by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out- until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10, 000 monarchs flew from the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand.
The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay.
The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies, ”James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed, ” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too. ”
23. What was hard for David to do in his study
A. Gain financial support. B. Hire qualified workers.
C. Build a new laboratory. D. Find enough monarchs.
24. Why are the butterflies tagged before being released
A. To guarantee their safety.
B. To enable them to fly longer distances.
C. To track their travel routes.
D. To distinguish them from other species.
25. What makes the prisoners feel that they can change
A. The patience the butterflies showed.
B. The hardship the butterflies underwent.
C. The transformation of the butterflies.
D. The devotion of James to the butterflies.
26. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The impact of the research.
B. The findings of James’ study.
C. The release of the prisoners.
D. The life cycle of the butterflies.

Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What's more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved（涉及）art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned（随机分配）each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques（技巧）after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. "The more we hear something, the more we retain it," Hardiman says. "It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own."
27. Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study
A. To prove the importance of art at school.
B. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
C. To find a way to help her students learn better.
D. To see if art might improve science learning.
28. What were the students required to do in the experiment
A. Learn three units in total.
B. Choose what they'd like to learn.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks.
D. Take two types of classes.
29. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Remember. B. Express.
C. Improve. D. Finish.
30. What is the text mainly about
A. Art helps students develop creativity.
B Art-focused classes interest students a lot
C. Art can make science easier to remember.
D. Art has something in common with science.
