In the subway station, I notice a black teenage boy waiting for the train, sitting on a railing (栏杆) just in front of a moving escalator (自动扶梯). It’s a hot evening; there is no air in the station. This black kid is just sitting there, settled on the railing, and I’m just standing there about 10 feet away looking for the faraway lights of the oncoming train. Then suddenly a white police officer is asking the kid for identification (身份). The kid turns a little annoyed and asks what he’s been bothering about. The officer doesn’t explain. The kid pulls out some I.D. and hands it to the officer who looks at it and then barks out a demand for something with an address on it, a driver’s license.
Unwillingly, the kid pulls out a second piece of identification. The officer looks at it and tells the kid to come with him. Nothing I have seen or heard explains the officer’s strict approach or why the kid is being led away.
I get up to the officer and politely ask what this guy did and where he is taking him. He looks at me like I’m armed and crazy and tells me that it’s none of my business and to stay out of this.
“Could I please take down your badge (警徽) number, sir, as I’d like to report all this,” I say.
“Take down my badge number and then you show me a piece of identification. What are you, some lawyer ”
I copy down his badge number and then show him my driver’s license, asking, “Could you please tell me what this is all for ”
Looking at me over and again asking if I’m a lawyer, he tells me he’s taking the kid in for blocking the escalator and me in for “obstructing a police action.” Another black man hearing all this asks what’s going on and the officer gets very nervous. So I decide to go with him to his office. Then the officer gives his version（版本） of what happened and I politely interrupt to explain that the kid was in no way blocking the escalator traffic and that I was in no way “obstructing a police action”, not adding that I thought the way the officer handling the situation was racist (种族主义者)and unnecessarily strict.
After this experience in the police station, I’m still wondering whether a well-dressed white man will be faced with a sharp command for identification for sitting on an escalator railing waiting for a train. If a bystander does want to get involved and inquire about an obviously unfair arrest, is a policeman’s only response a second arrest Will our police officers always be seen by black kids as evils Is my charge with racism too strong
24. What is the black teenager doing at the train station

C. He is waiting for the train. D. He is damaging the escalator.
25. Why does the author stand out to help the black teenager

C. He is black. D. He has a sense of justice.

A. The black boy doesn’t obey the police officer.
B. Subway stations are good places to hang about.
C. The white policeman thinks badly of the black teenager.
D. Situations like this in the passage will never change.

Shark attacks in the screen are amazing. That’s because your actual chances of ever being attacked by a shark are mere one in 11.5 million. That’s roughly the same as your chances of winning an Oscar, which makes shark attack survivor, Mike Coots both incredibly unlucky and lucky: When Mike was 18, he lost his leg to a shark bite.
“I was attacked by a tiger shark in late October 1997. It was near my home on the island of Kauai — a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us.” That is until a large shark came right up under Mike and sank his teeth into Mike’s lower leg. As he tried to free himself, the shark bit down harder, shaking its head back and forth and tossing Mike around like a rag doll. Mike followed his instinct（本能）: He struck the shark in the face, again and again until the shark released him. As Mike swam back into shore, he realized his lower right leg was gone. Mike’s friends rushed to his aid, and sent him to the hospital.
As soon as Mike was well, he did what many of us might consider unthinkable: he started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. But Mike was unshaken. Instead, he was curious — why was he attacked His curiosity led him to research sharks, and Mike did learn something that would change his life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around.
His situation as a shark survivor empowered him to give sharks a voice, Mike says. He began working with the Hawaii state authorities （当局）to help pass a ban (禁令) on shark-derived products. “I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge (极力主张) senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks.”
28. Why does the author show the chances of being attacked by sharks
A. To inform readers of some related knowledge.
B. To show everyone has the chance of winning an Oscar.
C. To attract people to watch shark attacks in the screen.
D. To stress Mike’s unusual experience of the shark attack.
29. How did Mike survive the shark attack
A. By hitting the shark hard continually.
B. By swimming desperately to the shore.
C. By screaming loudly for his friends’ help.
D. By shaking its head up and down to get away.
30. What came to mind when Mike rode the waves again
A. To overcome his fear of sharks.
B. To find out the reason for his being attacked.
C. To prove humans are more dangerous than sharks.
D. To research on how sharks attack humans.
31. What did Mike do to protect sharks
A. He passed a ban on shark-derived products.
B. He urged shark attack survivors to protect sharks.
C. He tried to help the authorities to protect sharks.
D. He signed a nationwide bill in Washington.

Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.
Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass. It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.
It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.
In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes. It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019. And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides much of Nevada’s drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.
Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them. Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona. “There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民). They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said. “For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s grass.”
32. Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass
A. To protect the local people. B. To beautify the city.
C. To reduce water usage. D. To reduce waste.
33. What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003
A. Allowing planting grass before new houses.
B. Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.
C. Praising those who signed on the program.
D. Awarding those who reduced water usage.
34. What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph
A. Many residents will never follow the ban.
B. Influence and reaction from the reform will be different from person to person.
C. Other measures should be taken to protect water.
D. Water officials should take many factors into consideration.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Las Vegas Plans to Ban Useless Grass B. A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas
C. Choices between Beauty and Practice D. Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. __36__ In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones（荷尔蒙） between men and women. __37__ Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility (生育能力).

_39__ Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes （基因）influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency (倾向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. __40__

Dear Peter,
Nice to receive your letter, in which you sought for my advice on whether you should choose Chinese as a second language. I consider it as a wise choice.
For one thing, Chinese is certainly one of the oldest and most beautiful languages that are still being used in the world. For another, the handwriting of Chinese is quite special and unique, thus helping you create a new way of thinking.
If you learn Chinese well, you can communicate with the largest population in the world, which provides you with more opportunities to make a career. What’s more, the Chinese language is sure to give you a glimpse of the colourful culture of China. Therefore,I recommend you .......
And It’s not a bad idea if you...........
May you do well in learning Chinese. If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to write to me.
Best wishes.
Yours,
LiHua
