I grew up in a remote mountain town in the Philippines. My family led a fairly idyllic life, raising goats and growing vegetables and fruits. My brothers and I would play in the nearby river and mountains, reading and doing all the fun things in the nature without worries.
Later I went to college abroad, and I would go back about once a year to visit. That’s when I started to notice changes in my hometown. I watched the river turn from clear to brown to black. Houses and farms replaced the trees. There was smog, and plastic garbage piled up. Seeing my childhood home go from a clean mountain town to a deforested, polluted, and overcrowded place really impacted me. Over time, I began to see my hometown as a place of unsustainable development.
While I worked on addressing deforestation with the United Nations in Indonesia, I vividly remembered seeing forests burned into black landscapes as far as the eye could see. Experiences like that have both terrified me and lit a fire within me to work harder. Thankfully, I began to see that there is another path. I saw success stories in places I worked — Indonesia, Costa Rica, Ecuador — places that are investing in nature and changing the culture and the mindset of what development looks like. I saw places realizing not only economic benefits — from, say, tourism — but also more benefits of ecosystem services.
The work of WWF and other organizations is critical in promoting success stories according to their local context. Each community, region, and country is different, so solutions must meet their different ing from a rural community in a developing country gave me a clear outlook on addressing ecology and sustainability issues and is something I carry with me in my work.
24. What does the underlined word “idyllic” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Simple and peaceful. B. Busy and noisy.
C. Quiet and boring. D. Tough and tiring.
25. What impressed the author after he went to college
A. Smog and garbage in the city.
B. Beautiful rivers in different colors.
C. Houses and farms in foreign countries.
D. Damaged environment in his hometown.
26. What inspired the author to work harder
A. Success stories he learned. B. Economic benefits from tourism.
C. Some disasters he witnessed. D. Slow development of his hometown.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Communities are faced with common challenges.
B. People have different outlooks on rural development.
C. Ecology issues should be addressed locally and differently.
D. Organizations play the most important role in sustainability.
C
There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.
However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.
Whether you should immediately put food in the fridge or let it sit out to cool depends on its temperature. Dangerous bacterial (细菌的) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grow most rapidly at these temperatures.
Placing lots of hot food in the fridge can raise the temperature of the fridge into this danger zone. Fridge temperatures should always be set below 40 degrees F. This may help the food get out of the danger zone as fast as possible.
However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to. If you are a forgetful person, or if you won’t be around to store the food after it has cooled enough, go ahead and put it in the fridge. Your fridge can handle the heat and get the food cooled quickly.
Food should never stay out at room temperature for more than two hours. Leftovers can become breeding grounds (滋生地) for dangerous bacteria if they’re left out too long and can make people sick.
“It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.”
28. Which temperature most contributes to the growth of harmful bacteria
A. Below 40 degrees F. B. Between 39～40 degrees F.
C. Between 41～135 degrees F. D. Above 135 degrees F.
29. What is the author’s attitude towards putting hot food directly into the fridge
A. Unclear. B. Neutral. C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
30. What does Serena Poon suggest doing about the leftovers
A. Dividing them into small parts.
B. Storing them in the fridge right away.
C. Waiting until they cool down completely outside.
D. Leaving them sitting at room temperature for two hours.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. When to Pack up Leftovers
B. How to Prevent Bacterial Growth
C. To Cool Food Outside or in the Fridge
D. A Good Idea to Store Food in the Fridge
D
Climate change is a big problem for corals. I dive to find out. By keeping track of corals in French Polynesia, I hope to determine how much stress they’re under.
Coral reefs are like underwater cities made up of tiny animals called corals. They are in symbiosis with tiny plants called algae (海藻). The algae make food for the corals using sunlight. This is called photosynthesis (光合作用). In return, corals produce carbon dioxide and waste, which can be used by the algae as raw materials for photosynthesis.
In French Polynesia, there’s a place called Moorea where scientists study corals. My colleagues and I use special floating platforms to look at the corals from different angles. This helps us find problems, like when other plants try to take over.
Two types of coral, Acropora pulchra and Acropora cytherea, are being studied. The pulchra stays its usual dark yellow color, but the cytherea, which is usually light brown or purple, has turned white. This white color is not good. It happens when the water gets too warm for too long. The corals get stressed and push out the algae. Without the algae, the corals can’t get food and they turn white, which can lead to them dying.
When my colleagues and I go diving, we use a plastic sheet to help us look at the corals and write down what we see. We check the water temperature, the color of the corals, and if we see any signs of the corals being in trouble.
Some corals seem to be stronger and can handle warmer water better than others. We want to find out why this is, so we can help protect corals. But the best way to help corals is to stop pollution and global warming, which are making the oceans too warm for them.
32. Why does the author keep track of corals
A. He loves sea animals.
B. He is crazy about corals.
C. He wants to study the survival condition of corals.
D. He wants to be free of stress.
33. What does the underlined word “symbiosis” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Competition for resources. B. Living together in harmony.
C. In support of the development. D. Improvement without providing benefit.
34. What will happen when the water temperature rises above normal
A. The corals will lose the source of food.
B. The coral will stay its purple color.
C. Two kinds of coral will turn white.
D. Some corals will become stronger.
35. What is the key to protecting corals in the author’s opinion
A. Protecting more sea plants.
B. Putting more effort into coral research.
C. Reducing pollution and stopping global warming.
D. Figuring out the relationship between corals and algae.

Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her desk mate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids' group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti(意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it ” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking(啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped(捧起) the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body.
注意：

【解析】本文为说明文。本文主要讨论了热食直接放入冰箱冷却保存还是先放在外面冷却后再放入冰箱保存的问题。作者提出了自己的看法：是否立即将热食放入冰箱可根据热食的温度进行决定，不过对于直接将热食放于冰箱，作者也支持。
28. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dangerous bacterial (细菌) growth happens between 41 and 135 degrees F. Potentially harmful bacteria grows most rapidly at these temperatures.”（危险的细菌在华氏41度到135度之间生长，潜在的有害细菌在这个温度下生长得最快。）可知，在41~135华氏度之间温度最容易滋生有害细菌。故选C项。
29. 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, both leaving leftovers out for a long period of time and adding hot items to the fridge can cause problems.”（然而，把剩菜长时间放在外面和把热的东西放进冰箱都会引起问题。）和第五段中“However, there’s no harm in putting hot food directly into the fridge if you need to.”（然而，如果你需要的话，把热的食物直接放进冰箱也没什么坏处。）可推断，作者对直接把热食放入冰箱冷却的做法的态度是中立的。故选B项。
30. 细节理解题。根据最后一段““It is OK to leave the food cooling outside before you hit the two-hour mark,” says Serena Poon, nutritionist of Le Cordon Bleu’s Grand Diploma training program. “In fact, the sooner you can get your leftovers in the fridge, the better.””（蓝带厨艺学院高级文凭培训项目的营养学家瑟琳娜·潘说：“在两小时之前把食物放在外面冷却是可以的。”“事实上，越早把剩菜放进冰箱越好。”）可知，潘瑟琳建议尽快将剩菜放在冰箱冷却。故选B项。
31. 标题归纳题。根据文章大意以及第一段“There are two kinds of people: those who like to pack up leftovers as soon as dinner is over, and those who let leftovers sit out for a few hours so they can cool down.”（有两种人：一种人喜欢一吃完饭就把剩菜打包，另一种人喜欢把剩菜放在外面放几个小时，让它们冷却下来。）可知，本文主要讨论了热食直接放入冰箱冷却保存还是先放在外面冷却后再放入冰箱保存的问题。作者提出了自己的看法：是否立即将热食放入冰箱可根据热食的温度进行决定，不过对于直接将热食放于冰箱，作者也支持，因此最佳标题为“把食物放在外面或冰箱里冷却”。故选C项。

33. 词义猜测题。根据第二段“The algae make food for the corals using sunlight. This is called photosynthesis (光合作用). In return, corals produce carbon dioxide and waste, which can be used by the algae as raw materials for photosynthesis.(藻类利用阳光为珊瑚提供食物。这叫做光合作用。作为回报，珊瑚产生二氧化碳和废物，藻类可以将其用作光合作用的原料)”可知，藻类和珊瑚互相帮助，和睦相处。故划线词意思是“和睦相处”。故选B。
34. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“It happens when the water gets too warm for too long. The corals get stressed and push out the algae. Without the algae, the corals can’t get food and they turn white, which can lead to them dying.(当水太热太久时就会发生这种情况。珊瑚受到压力，把藻类挤出来。没有藻类，珊瑚就无法获得食物，它们会变白，这可能导致它们死亡)”可知，当水温超过正常时，珊瑚会失去食物来源。故选A。

In the age of technological change, staying ahead depends on continual self-education — a lifelong mastery of new skills, and ideas.（要想在21世纪取得成功，成为一个超级学习者是最重要的技能之一。在技术变革的时代，保持领先取决于持续的自我教育——终身掌握新技能和新思想。）”可知，上文讲述的是成为一个超级学习者是很有必要的。而下文则介绍了如何成为一名超级学习者。选项F. If you aim to learn a new skill, some of these habits can be useful for you.（如果你的目标是学习一项新技能，其中一些习惯可能对你有用。）承上启下，自然引出下文的好习惯。故选F。
37. 根据空前内容“In fact, many of the most successful people share this appreciation for reading（事实上，许多最成功的人都喜欢阅读。）”可知，许多成功人士都喜欢阅读。选项G. Elon Musk grew up reading two books a day, and Bill Gates reads 50 books per year.（伊隆·马斯克从小每天读两本书，比尔·盖茨每年读50本书。）则举了两个名人的例子说明名人喜欢阅读，故选G。
38. 根据下文“Instead, they keep mastering new principles, processes, worldviews, thinking models, etc .The ongoing and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge is important for their growth.（相反，他们不断掌握新的原则、流程、世界观、思维模式等。对知识的持续和自我激励的追求对他们的成长很重要。）”中的instead可推断，空处内容和下文内容有转折关系。下文讲述的是超级学习者不断学习、不断成长。选项A. They don’t have an end goal.（他们没有最终目标。）与下文内容一致，指的是他们会不断进步，不断学习，不断成长。故选A。
39. 空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Keeping your brain healthy keeps it sharp. What you do or don’t do for your brain can significantly change how you record and process information. Everyone wants to live an active life for as long as possible, which depends on brain health. Fruit, vegetables and protein from fish can slow the decline and protect a healthy brain.（保持大脑健康能让它保持敏锐。你为大脑做什么或不做什么会显著改变你记录和处理信息的方式。每个人都希望尽可能长时间地活跃，这取决于大脑的健康。水果、蔬菜和鱼类中的蛋白质可以减缓衰退，保护健康的大脑。）”可知，本段主要讲述的是要保持大脑健康。选项C. Super learners take care of their brains.（超级学习者照顾他们的大脑。）与下文内容一致，指的是要照顾好大脑，保持大脑健康。故选C。
40. 根据上文“According to recent research, taking short breaks, early and often, is likely to help you learn things better.（根据最近的研究，尽早和经常休息一会儿，可能会帮助你更好地学习。）”可知，作者建议要尽早、经常休息。选项D. Experts recommend 30-50 minutes sessions.（专家建议每次30-50分钟。）是上文内容的自然延续，指的是学习的时候要注意休息，同时内容上“30-50分钟”与下文“ “Anything less than 30 is just not enough, but anything more than 50 is too much information for your brain to take in at one time,” they say.（他们说：“任何少于30的学习都是不够的，但超过50的学习对你的大脑来说一次吸收的信息太多了。”）”保持一致。故选D。

【范文】
One possible version:
Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. The image of the small, scared chicken in her arms overlapped with the image of Landy’s face turning red with embarrassment every time the kids teased her. Catherine realized that Landy was just like this poor chicken, being pecked at for being different. Catherine decided she needed to do something about it. Back at school on Monday, when she heard the familiar chant of “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti,” she didn’t stay silent. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and faced the chanting crowd.
“Hey, guys, that's enough!” Catherine's voice was firm and loud. “It’s not funny to make fun of someone just because they’re different. It hurts, and it’s not fair.” The kids looked at each other, a bit embarrassed and unsure of what to do next. Catherine walked toward Landy and invited her to lunch. Landy looked up, surprise and relief flooding her face. As they walked to lunch together, Catherine knew she had done the right thing. Slowly but surely, the other kids began to follow her example, realizing that being kind and inclusive was much cooler than being popular at the expense of others.
