Gorman is the youngest poet in US history. She became the youth poet laureate (获奖者) of Los Angeles at age 16 in 2014 and the first national youth poet laureate three years later. She has recently completed her studies at Harvard University.
Her mother, Joan Wicks, teaches in a middle school in Watts. Shuttling among the neighborhoods gave Gorman a window to the world. Her love for poetry dates at least back to the third grade when her teacher read Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine to the class.
Gorman is a lot better at it now, but still working on her confidence as a public speaker. “Until two or maybe three years ago, I couldn’t say the letter ‘r’. Even to this day sometimes I struggle with it. I’d want to say ‘girls can change the world’, but I can not say so many letters in that statement, so I’d say things like ‘young women can shape the globe’.”
For Gorman, writing became a cure. “I used writing as a form of self expression to get my word on the page. So the more I recited out loud, the more I was able to teach myself how to pronounce these letters which for so long had been my greatest obstacle. Gorman said she also used a song from Miranda’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical Hamilton to help with her speaking. “But I don’t look at my disability as a weakness,” said Gorman. “It’s made me the performer that I am and the storyteller that I struggle to be.”
In September, Gorman will release Change Sings, the first of two children’s books. The poet says she desires to publish a book “in which kids could see themselves as change-makers in history, rather than just observers”.
24. What happened to Gorman in 2017
A. She became the US first youth poet laureate.
B. She graduated from Harvard University.
C. She applied for the youth poet laureate.
D. She turned into a public speaker.
25. What aroused Gorman’s interest in poetry
A. Her mother’s encouragement.
B. Ray Bradbury’s works.
C. Miranda’s inspiration.
D. A laureate’s story.
26. Why does Gorman want to write a book for kids
A. To inspire kids to be the youth poet laureate.
B. To show kids some ways to observe the world.
C. To encourage kids to be change-makers.
D. To give the disabled some writing tips.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Gorman succeeded in becoming a storyteller
B. Gorman overcame her disadvantage in poetry
C. Gorman used writing to overcome a speech obstacle
D. Gorman’s weakness stopped her from being a speaker
C
Why do people long for celebrity news At least some of the hunger centers around schadenfreude—having joy from the suffering of others. People often act as if joy is dependent on achieving material gain. Seeing people that seem to “have it all” suffer (going through divorce, drug abuse, mental illness, etc.) momentarily destroys that thought. And then people can think, “Perhaps it’s OK that I don’t have my own television show, and own four large houses.” Let’s chat a bit more about schadenfreude and related concepts. If you’ve been alive a couple of decades, you’ve certainly seen plenty of examples showing that money does not bring happiness. But what does bring happiness One of the keys involves learning to fully attend to and enjoy the present moment—not just learning this as information, but, through practice, developing the skill of living mindfully in this moment.
Other keys to happiness involve developing the skill of compassion (同情) and loving kindness. This may seem strange to readers: developing a skill of compassion Don’t you just have or not have compassion There are some types of meditation (冥想) originating from Buddhist traditions that are designed to develop compassion and loving kindness.
The four related qualities developed by these types of meditation practices are termed: loving kindness, calmness, compassion, and sympathetic joy. Sympathetic joy is the exact opposite of schadenfreude—with sympathetic joy, we get joy from the joy of others. Think of a close family member doing well and notice the joy you feel—that is sympathetic joy. To develop more sympathetic joy, when something good happens to another person, say to yourself (with as much meaning as possible), “I’m happy for you. May your good fortune continue. May your good fortune grow.”
When a person, celebrity or not, is suffering, you can practice a compassion meditation. Close your eyes and imagine a scene that naturally brings forth sympathy, such as hugging a loved one, or holding a baby. Then imagine saying to the person suffering, “May you be free from suffering,” or “May your suffering ease.”
28. What can make us happy according to the author
A. Having a well-paid job. B. Owning great popularity.
C. Focusing on celebrities’ news. D. Learning to live in the moment.
29. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 2
A. Compassion and loving kindness. B. The origin of some traditions.
C. Happiness and meditation. D. Meditation practices.
30. Which of the following is sympathetic joy
A. You cheer up when a celebrity gets divorced.
B. You crow over it when your schoolmate gets injured.
C. You’re delighted when your classmate wins a competition.
D. You’re pleased when a celebrity practices attentively meditation.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To show celebrities’ real life.
B. To introduce the findings of a study.
C. To stress the importance of happiness.
D. To correct the negative attitudes to other people’s sufferings.
D
One of the most dangerous insects you need to watch out for during summer is mosquitoes. But no matter how you try to avoid them, some naturally attract mosquitoes more than others.
One of the most important facts to remember is that mosquitoes track people down by smell and body odour (气味), according to Bart Knols, PhD, a biologist devoted to the study of mosquitoes. The carbon dioxide people breathe out, along with chemicals from the skin, creates an “odour plume” that mosquitoes can detect from up to almost 100 feet away. “Each person gives off more than 300 chemicals from the skin, more than 100 in breathing out,” Knols says.
The specific mixtures on the skin that mosquitoes respond to vary by species. The yellow fever mosquito and Asian tiger mosquito, for example, respond well to lactic acid from skin. African malaria mosquitoes respond to a mix of fatty acids, according to Knols. Your individual mixtures and smells determine how much of a mosquito attraction you are, depending on the mosquito species. The mix of chemicals you produce is only partly in your control. These chemicals depend on your genetic make-up, health condition, diet, skin pH, and so on. “Bacteria on the skin break down the mixtures that we give off through our pores (毛孔), and these are the attractive smells,” Knols says. “So it is not actually we that draw mosquitoes, but the bacteria on our skin.”
Although this is a complex and partly understood phenomenon, Knols says that we do all have a unique smell. There are many folk stories about why some people are more or less attractive to mosquitoes. Some people falsely think the blood type is the cause and others believe taking vitamin B or eating garlic makes people less attractive to mosquitoes—but Knols notes there’s no scientific data backing up these claims.
32. What do we learn from the second paragraph
A. Nobody can avoid mosquitoes anyway.
B. Mosquitoes can detect people by smell.
C. A person breathes out over 300 chemicals.
D. People find mosquitoes annoying and harmful.
33. Why does the author take several kinds of mosquitoes for example
A. To warn people not to touch mosquitoes.
B. To persuade readers to protect the environment.
C. To help people distinguish poisonous mosquitoes.
D. To show how different mosquitoes react to mixtures.
34. What attracts mosquitoes according to Bart Knols
A. Bacteria on the skin.
B. Specific blood type.
C. Smells from the hair.
D. Chemicals in the mouth.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Ways to make people more and more attractive
B. Folk stories about how mosquitoes attack people
C. The scientific reason you are a mosquito attraction
D. Different attitudes toward mosquitoes

Venice is suffering the worst flooding the city has experienced in 50 years. The city is “on its knees” and Venetian Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted as water submerged (淹没) much of the famous historical city.
While floods are a normal part of life in Venice, they have never happened with such frequency before. Experts say that climate change is likely to blame. 36 The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their conference hall flooded.
Flooding is just one of the many impacts from climate change that globally threatens many vulnerable (脆弱的) areas and regions. There is a threat that is not often considered. 37 Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change.
38 Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures. For instance, George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state Penang faces rising sea levels, landslides and more severe typhoons, while Yellowstone ecosystem in the western United States faces melting snows, more frequent wildfires and a changing ecosystem.
Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites. 39 And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites.
Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive. 40
A. Different ways can be adopted to save these sites.
B. Climate change will impact these sites in different ways.
C. It is the damage from climate change to the world’s heritage.
D. How to survive in these areas has become an issue for Italians.
E. However, putting in place protective measures has proven difficult.
F. Warming water threatens to kill much of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef.
G. Therefore, they suggest that countries should work together to protect heritage sites.

The pollution is an issue, of course, and I had a sore throat during my stay there. People warned me about Athens traffic, but I love it!
