We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation - not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they’ve also built houses on stilts (支柱) in coastal waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Redney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,” Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea.”
In2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. “it seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,” said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.
24. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1
A. Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers. B. New knowledge of human evolution.
C. Recent findings of human origin. D. Significance of food selection.
25. Where do the Bajau build their houses

C
Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems. Because poetry. And because Cortázar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
28. Why does the author like rereading
A. It’s a window to a whole new world.
B. It extends the understanding of oneself.
C. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
D. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
29. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A. It’s a brief account of a trip.
B. It’s a record of a historic event.
C. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
D. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
30. What does the underlined word “currency” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Debt. B. Allowance.
C. Reward. D. Accomplishment.
31. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He loves poetry. B. He’s an editor.
C He’s very ambitious. D. He teaches reading.
D
Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
32. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ________.
A. a lack of confidence in technology
B. a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions
D. a waste of limited resources
33. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ________.
A. take people’s essential needs into account
B. make their programmes attractive to people
C. ensure that each child gets financial support
D. provide more affordable internet facilities
34. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of economic development.
D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
35. What can we learn from the passage
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.

Twenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy(疗法) work with our Angel. As she matured and went through professional training, we realized that she would be good at this new job.
Angel is ten now and works every week. She visits two hospitals, providing day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS for Reading program. At the library, six to ten dogs lie on the floor, and the kids pick a book to read to a dog. After they finish, they get a card with the dog’s picture and history. Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.
We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke(中风). One day, my husband, Jack, got Angel up into a chair next to the woman’s bed, asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded. Angel gently took the treat. Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend couldn’t believe her eyes.
After that, every time we saw the woman, she lifted her left hand. We’d tell her she had to use her right hand, and she would. Next, you’ll fall in love with this woman’s story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she calls it the best decision she ever made.

Happiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).
To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.
On average, they found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions.
“The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,” Twenge said. “Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.”
Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it’s easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness in U. S. teens. Specifically, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That’s the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens’ lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.
1. Which method did Twenge’s team use for the study
A. Calculating students’ happiness. B. Asking students certain questions.
C. Analyzing data from a survey. D. Doing experiments on screen time.
2. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3
A. By making a comparison. B. By giving an example.
C. By making an argument. D. By introducing a concept.
3. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To draw a conclusion from the study. B. To offer some advice to the readers.
C. To prove social activities’ importance. D. To support the researchers’ finding.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Quitting Phones Equals Happiness B. Screen Time Should. Be Banned
C. Teens’ Lives Have Changed Sharply D. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier

A group of scientists in labs spread across Europe, the U.S., and Nepal have been working on Qomolangma “remotely”. The project’s goal is to turn the world’s highest mountain into a huge climate laboratory.
During April and May last year, a team of more than 30 biologists, glaciologists, geologists, meteorologists, and geographers fanned out across Qomolangma’s southern side, conducting fieldwork high on the mountain. “We believe the best way to get a full scientific picture of Qomolangma is not just to do one kind of science,” says Paul Mayewski of the University of Maine, the leader of the effort.
Each individual study promises a unique picture of the mountain’s climate — past, present, and future. Ice cores(冰核) will allow scientists to go back in time — tens, hundreds and perhaps thousands of years to learn about the environment. Snow and water samples give a look at what’s happening on the mountain, today, including the future of the glaciers(冰川). The team also fixed a network of automated weather stations, which will document upcoming weather trends for years to come.
One of the hardest tasks fell to Mayewski’s colleague Mariusz Potocki, who hoped to drill ice cores at several places on the mountain, including the South Col (25,938 feet) and the top of Qomolangma (29,035 feet). The job required a specially designed drill system powered by batteries, and an excellent team to figure out how to prevent the cores from becoming liquid during their long journey back to the University of Maine’s laboratory for analysis.
Potocki abandoned his summit(山顶) attempt due to the crowds of normal climbers. To his relief, Potocki succeeded in taking the highest ice core ever recovered, at just above Camp Four — 26,312 feet above sea level. “The ice doesn’t lie,” Mayewski says. “The very idea that the highest part of the planet hasn’t been spared from human activity ought to be a real wake-up call for everybody.”
1. Which way does Paul Mayewski suggest to fully study Qomolangma
A. Doing many kinds of science. B. Turning it into a real lab.
C. Working on it remotely in labs. D. Teaming up with more countries.
2. Why does the team analyze ice cores
A. To document upcoming weather change. B. To predict the future of the mountain.
C. To know more about the past environment. D. To get a unique picture of climate trends.
3. What difficulty did Mariusz Potocki face
A. Improving the special drill system. B. Delivering frozen ice cores to the lab.
C. Conducting fieldwork above Camp Four. D. Drilling the oldest ice cores at some places.
4. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Potocki got ice cores at 29,035 feet. B. Normal climbers helped with Potocki’s work.
C. Ice cores can serve as a warning for us. D. Human activity has affected Qomolangma.

Last night's meteor shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley's mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.
“My family was so frustrated," admitted town resident Duane Cosby, "We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”
Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets-have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association, "100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”
Countless more animal casualties (伤亡) result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings. But some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.
4. What do the astronomers complain about
A. Meteor showers occur less often than before.
B. Their observation equipment is in poor repair.
C. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.
D. Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.
5. What is the author's attitude towards outdoor lighting
A. Optimistic. B. Unconscious. C. Conservative. D. Concerned.
6. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to_________.
A. lessen the chance of getting cancer
B. create an ideal observation condition
C. ensure citizens a good sleep at night
D. enable all creatures to live in harmony
7. What message does the author most want to give us
A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.
B. Great efforts should be made to save energy.
C. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.
D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.

“Folks in Henan! Wing Loong Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is here for you." Residents in Mihe county, Central China's Henan Province, whose telecommunications were cut off due to record downpours and floods, regained connection with the aid of China's home-produced UAV.
The floods have affected more than 3,000,000 people across the province and forced 37K,600 to be evacuated (疏散). More than 215, 200 hectares of crops have been damaged, causing a direct economic loss of about 1.22 billion yuan. And provincial city Zhengzhou is still struggling to recover full electricity supplies.
The drone (无人机) provided local residents with much needed information of disaster relief, and allowed them to reconnect with their families and loved ones, guaranteeing an emergency lifeline. It also conducted a geological hazard (地质灾害) survey and provided imagery data to help the analysis of the disaster situation.
“Widely known as a drone for military purposes, the Wing Loong is also an ideal choice in civilian missions like disaster relief, serving as an aerial communications relay platform," experts said. It is capable of realizing network connection for images, voices, and data messages through aerial networking, high-point relay and other technologies, to provide timely assistance to disaster areas. It has the characteristics of long range, long endurance, large carrying capacity, and high adaptability to various environments. Apart from providing public and private network communications, it can also deliver emergency materials to affected regions.
Drones are not the only military equipment China has used to save people, with other examples being military helicopters used in earthquake rescues and transport aircraft used in fighting COVID-19.
8. How did the Wing Loong drone hep Henan Province after the flood
A. By dropping food from the sky.
B. By helping fix the local network.
C. By saving crops of disaster regions.
D. By guiding affected people to safe places.
9. What do the data in paragraph 2 tell us
A. The importance of timely rescue work
B. The severe harm caused by the floods.
C. The difficulty of recovering electricity supplies.
D. The enormous efforts to deal with economic loss.
10. What can we learn about the drone from Paragraph 4
A. It can forecast the flood. B. It is powered by green energy.
C. It cannot work in the mountains. D. It has a wide range of applications.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Henan Suffered from Heavy Rains B. UAV: A Valuable Military Invention

In autumn of 1975, two mothers in Lyme, Connecticut, were desperate for answers their doctors could not provide. Their families and others in the Lyme area were suffering from a mysterious illness. Two doctors from Yale, Allan Steere and Stephen Malawista, began an investigation that would result in a groundbreaking medical discovery.
The doctors began by conducting individual examinations of each patient. They found patients of all ages were suffering from a set of symptoms rarely observed together. Blood samples revealed no virus that offered a clue about the cause. However, they found fruitful information in their interviews with patients: one quarter of them recalled a skin rash (皮疹) with a bull's-eye pattern about four weeks before other symptoms arose.
Armed with this new clue, the Department of Health worked with the Yale doctors, conducting surveys to learn where the disease was most widely seen. It seemed that the majority of patients lived in heavily wooded areas, who spent a good deal of time outdoors, gardening, landscaping, or playing. The symptoms were nearly always experienced for the first time during summer. Crucially, some recalled having been bitten by a tick (蜱, 壁虱), which feeds mostly on the blood of mammals and birds.
By 1977, investigators confirmed that the deer tick was responsible. In 1982, a scientist named Willy Burgdorfer discovered a specific type of bacteria, carried by the deer tick, which was causing the disease. Scientists concluded that the bacteria passed from wildlife to ticks to humans. All lived closely among one another in the area.
How could a disease from a common parasite (寄生虫) spring up so suddenly Many areas of the northeast, including Lyme, were once farmland. Gradually, the farmland was replanted with trees, then neighborhoods pushed deeper into the habitat of deer ticks and, more importantly, the wildlife they fed upon. As humans encountered more ticks, they became more likely to contract the disease.
One of the remaining mysteries about Lyme disease is where and when it truly began. This puzzle may never be solved. Today, Lyme disease—if caught early—is easily treated with antibiotics, thanks to the hard work of many scientists, doctors, and patients.
12. Which of the following method helped Dr. Steere and Dr. Malawista most
A. Carrying out a field survey. B. Conducting patient interviews.
C. Offering patients' blood samples. D. Separating patients into age groups.
13. From the passage,we can conclude that ______________.
A. patients' memory of tick bites was vital to the medical discovery
B. Lyme disease spread because deer ticks and humans both fed on deer
C. one quarter of the patients got a skin rash after some symptoms had arose
D. Lyme disease is less common now because people spend less time outdoors
14. What does the underlined word phrase “spring up" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Worsen. B. Return.
C. Appear. D. Decrease.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Scientific Study B. A Medical Mystery
C. An Effective Treatment D. An Unsolved Puzzle

We are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle -raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.
On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation - not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they’ve also built houses on stilts (支柱) in coastal waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Redney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.
Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,” Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea.”
In2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. “it seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,” said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.
24. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1
A. Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers. B. New knowledge of human evolution.
C. Recent findings of human origin. D. Significance of food selection.
25. Where do the Bajau build their houses
A. In valleys. B. Near rivers. C. On the beach. D. Off the coast.
26. Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau
A. They could walk on stilts all day. B. They had a superb way of fishing.
C. They could stay long underwater. D. They lived on both land and water.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity — but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems. Because poetry. And because Cortázar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
28. Why does the author like rereading
A. It’s a window to a whole new world.
B. It extends the understanding of oneself.
C. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
D. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
29. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A. It’s a brief account of a trip.
B. It’s a record of a historic event.
C. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
D. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
30. What does the underlined word “currency” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Debt. B. Allowance.
C. Reward. D. Accomplishment.
31. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He loves poetry. B. He’s an editor.
C He’s very ambitious. D. He teaches reading.
D
Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
32. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ________.
A. a lack of confidence in technology
B. a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions
D. a waste of limited resources
33. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ________.
A. take people’s essential needs into account
B. make their programmes attractive to people
C. ensure that each child gets financial support
D. provide more affordable internet facilities
34. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of economic development.
D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
35. What can we learn from the passage
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.

Twenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy(疗法) work with our Angel. As she matured and went through professional training, we realized that she would be good at this new job.
Angel is ten now and works every week. She visits two hospitals, providing day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS for Reading program. At the library, six to ten dogs lie on the floor, and the kids pick a book to read to a dog. After they finish, they get a card with the dog’s picture and history. Angel also helps out at a special-needs camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.
We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was completely unable to move the right side of her body from a stroke(中风). One day, my husband, Jack, got Angel up into a chair next to the woman’s bed, asking her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded. Angel gently took the treat. Then the woman raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend couldn’t believe her eyes.
After that, every time we saw the woman, she lifted her left hand. We’d tell her she had to use her right hand, and she would. Next, you’ll fall in love with this woman’s story of rearing her own Angel later in her family and why she calls it the best decision she ever made.

Happiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).
To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.
On average, they found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions.
“The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,” Twenge said. “Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.”
Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it’s easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness in U. S. teens. Specifically, young people’s life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That’s the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens’ lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.
1. Which method did Twenge’s team use for the study
A. Calculating students’ happiness. B. Asking students certain questions.
C. Analyzing data from a survey. D. Doing experiments on screen time.
2. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3
A. By making a comparison. B. By giving an example.
C. By making an argument. D. By introducing a concept.
3. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To draw a conclusion from the study. B. To offer some advice to the readers.
C. To prove social activities’ importance. D. To support the researchers’ finding.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Quitting Phones Equals Happiness B. Screen Time Should. Be Banned
C. Teens’ Lives Have Changed Sharply D. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier

A group of scientists in labs spread across Europe, the U.S., and Nepal have been working on Qomolangma “remotely”. The project’s goal is to turn the world’s highest mountain into a huge climate laboratory.
During April and May last year, a team of more than 30 biologists, glaciologists, geologists, meteorologists, and geographers fanned out across Qomolangma’s southern side, conducting fieldwork high on the mountain. “We believe the best way to get a full scientific picture of Qomolangma is not just to do one kind of science,” says Paul Mayewski of the University of Maine, the leader of the effort.
Each individual study promises a unique picture of the mountain’s climate — past, present, and future. Ice cores(冰核) will allow scientists to go back in time — tens, hundreds and perhaps thousands of years to learn about the environment. Snow and water samples give a look at what’s happening on the mountain, today, including the future of the glaciers(冰川). The team also fixed a network of automated weather stations, which will document upcoming weather trends for years to come.
One of the hardest tasks fell to Mayewski’s colleague Mariusz Potocki, who hoped to drill ice cores at several places on the mountain, including the South Col (25,938 feet) and the top of Qomolangma (29,035 feet). The job required a specially designed drill system powered by batteries, and an excellent team to figure out how to prevent the cores from becoming liquid during their long journey back to the University of Maine’s laboratory for analysis.
Potocki abandoned his summit(山顶) attempt due to the crowds of normal climbers. To his relief, Potocki succeeded in taking the highest ice core ever recovered, at just above Camp Four — 26,312 feet above sea level. “The ice doesn’t lie,” Mayewski says. “The very idea that the highest part of the planet hasn’t been spared from human activity ought to be a real wake-up call for everybody.”
1. Which way does Paul Mayewski suggest to fully study Qomolangma
A. Doing many kinds of science. B. Turning it into a real lab.
C. Working on it remotely in labs. D. Teaming up with more countries.
2. Why does the team analyze ice cores
A. To document upcoming weather change. B. To predict the future of the mountain.
C. To know more about the past environment. D. To get a unique picture of climate trends.
3. What difficulty did Mariusz Potocki face
A. Improving the special drill system. B. Delivering frozen ice cores to the lab.
C. Conducting fieldwork above Camp Four. D. Drilling the oldest ice cores at some places.
4. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Potocki got ice cores at 29,035 feet. B. Normal climbers helped with Potocki’s work.
C. Ice cores can serve as a warning for us. D. Human activity has affected Qomolangma.

阅读理解篇章(四)
【语篇类型】说明文 【主题语境】人与自然——环境保护
【文章大意】一群科学家正在“远程”研究珠穆朗玛峰,目标是把世界上最高的山峰变成一个巨大的气候实验室。
【核心素养】本文通过介绍科学家为研究气候变化所作出的努力,让考生了解科学工作的必要性和难度,并对当前世界的气候有一个客观的认知,明白环保的重要性。
1. A【关键能力】考查推理判断的能力。
【解题思路】由第二段中的“a team of more than 30 biologists, glaciologists, geologists, meteorologists, and geographers”可知,这个团队的成员涉及多个领域的专家,再结合 Paul Mayewski的话“We believe the best way to get a full scientific picture of Qomolangma is not just to do one kind of science”可推知,最好的方法应是开展多种类的科学研究。故选A。
2. C【关键能力】考查理解具体信息的能力。
【解题思路】由第三段中的“Ice cores(冰核) will allow scientists to go back in time-tens, hundreds and perhaps thousands of years to learn about the environment”可知,冰核能让科学家了解过去的环境状况。故选C。
3. B【关键能力】考查理解具体信息的能力。
【解题思路】由第四段中的“The job required...an excellent team to figure out how to prevent the cores from becoming liquid during their long journey back to the University of Maine’s laboratory for analysis”可知,这项工作需要一个优秀的团队,他们需要找出防止冰核在他们返回缅因大学实验室进行分析的漫长旅程中融化的方法。这说明 Mariusz Potocki 面临的困难是将冰冻状态下的冰核运送到实验室。故选B。
4. D【关键能力】考查推理判断的能力。
【解题思路】由最后一段中的“The very idea that the highest part of the planet hasn’t been spared from human activity ought to be a real wake-up call for everybody”可知,地球上的最高点(即珠穆朗玛峰)没有逃过人类活动的影响,故选D。
