Many years ago, Beverly Johnson was one of the original “supermodels”. She walked on the runways of fashion shows around the world. Today, Johnson is 69 years old. She is not letting her age stop her from walking the runways again. She has a simple answer to why she decided to return to the fashion world during New York Fashion Week: She was asked to.
Johnson, a writer and businesswoman, helped to break barriers for other Black women in the modeling industry. In 1974, she appeared on the cover of the American Vogue magazine. This made her that magazine’s first Black cover model. She had great success in her modeling career. She remained a popular face for many years, appearing on the covers of hundreds of magazines.
During this year’s Spring New York Fashion Week, Johnson walked the fashion runways for designers Sergio Hudson and Bibhu Mohapatra. She was the last model to walk in the Mohapatra show on February 15. The crowd clapped and cheered when they recognized her.
“Today, all of the models were models of color in honor of Black History Month,” Johnson said as she started to cry. “In 2024, it will be my 50th anniversary of that historic cover of being the first Black woman to grace the cover of American Vogue,” she added. When Johnson was first coming up in the fashion industry in the 1970s, she said she did not see this kind of presentation by Black designers or models.
Johnson said she enjoyed spending time with the younger models during this year’s New York Fashion Week. She found them “beautiful, elegant, and wonderful”.
She noted one big difference between them and her and it was not their ages. “The girls are much taller.” In the Hudson show, she said, no model was under 1.8 meters. Back when she was modeling, she said, 1.5 meters was tall enough.
4. Why did she turn up on the runways again according to Johnson
A. She aimed to prove herself to be still young.
B. She was invited to perform.
C. She wanted to get more prizes.
D. She expected to appear on a magazine cover.
5. What can be learned about the American Vogue magazine
A. It made Johnson the youngest cover model.
B. It invited Johnson to admire the development of it.
C. It attached great importance to leading the modeling industry.
D. It made a breakthrough by choosing Johnson as its cover model.
6. What was the purpose of the fashion show
A. To celebrate an event related to Black people.
B. To honor Black models with great achievements.
C. To advertise the work of Black fashion designers.
D. To mark the 50th anniversary of a magazine.
7. What makes Johnson greatly different from the younger models
A. Her personality. B. Her weight.
C. Her height. D. Her acting style.
C
Do pets have a positive effect on your brain health A new study shows pet ownership is linked to a slower decline in cognition(认知)over time.
According to a study that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 74th Annual Meeting in April, owning a pet, especially for live years or longer, may be linked to a slower cognitive decline in older adults.
“Earlier studies have suggested that the human-animal bond may have health benefits like decreasing blood pressure and stress,” said study author Tiffany Braley, MD, MS, of the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. “Our results suggest pet ownership may also be protective against cognitive decline.”
The study looked at cognitive data from 1,369 older adults with an average age of 65 who had general cognitive skills at the start of the study. A total of 53% owned pets, and 32% were long-term pet owners, who owned pets for five years or more.
Over six years, cognitive scores decreased at a slower rate in pet owners. This difference was strongest among long-term pet owners.
“As stress can badly affect cognitive function, the potential stress-reducing effects of pet ownership could provide a rational explanation for our findings,” said Braley. “A companion animal can also increase physical activity, which could benefit cognitive health. That said, more research is needed to confirm our results and identify underlying theories for this connection.”
Previous studies have shown that owning pets lowers blood pressure, reduces chances of depression and loneliness, promotes living in the present moment, increases mobility and independence and eases anxiety and pain.
8. What’s the new discovery about pet ownership
A. It removes loneliness. B. It smooths away stress.
C. It decreases blood pressure. D. It slows down cognitive decline.
9. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 3
A. Pet owners and non-pet owners differ greatly.
B. The new findings differ from the previous ones.
C. The longer one keeps a pet, the more benefits he gets.
D. Owning a pet can greatly increase one’s physical strength.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. Possible reasons for the findings of the study.
B. The great efforts researchers made for the study.
C. Some specific information of the participants in the study.
D. The length of time the study was planned to last.
11. What does the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Different. B. Reasonable.
C. Casual. D. Immediate.
D
Dubai has opened the dreamlike world of its new Museum of the Future. The rounded structure rises almost 70 meters. It is held up by an unusual network of supports. Light flows in through the many windows around the building. The windows are shaped in beautiful forms of Arabic letters.
The museum presents an idea of what the world could look like 50 years from now. The imagined future shows the UAE's 50 years of development from a small, sea-based community to a center of oil and gas riches.
The museum deals with the idea of a sustainable (可持续的) future. It invites visitors to reconnect with their senses and disconnect from their phones. However, digital screens and similar media also play a big part in many areas. The museum’s digital screens urge visitors to think about the planet’s health und biological mix in a city that celebrates riches, high-cost living and material goods.
The museum’s goal is to get people to think about what is possible and to tum that into real world action. Visitors to the Museum of the Future hear about a future of lying taxis, windfarms and a world powered from space. Some projects would capture the sun’s energy and send it to the moon. The moon would be covered with solar collectors that would direct energy toward devices on Earth.
The centerpiece of the museum is a darkened mirrored space lit by tall columns of small glass shapes. The shapes hold the imaginary DNA of animals and plants that disappeared from existence.
In this idea of the future, the health of the planet is observed much like a person’s heartbeat and temperature.
The building’s designers, UAE—based Killa Design, said the building has been awarded LEED Platinum status. The rating is given to building designs that use energy as efficiently as possible and meet other environmental goals.
12. What is the museum intended to do
A. Present the country’s scientific achievements.
B. Inspire people to turn creative ideas into reality.
C. Show the world how the country has developed.
D. Encourage people to have confidence in the future.
13. What does the museum show about the future society
A. It is a high-cost one. B. It is free from phones.
C. It is fair to everyone. D. It is environmentally friendly.
14. How does Killa Design probably feel about the building
A. Regretful. B. Puzzled. C. Proud. D. Curious.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Dreamlike Museum of the Future Opens
B. High Technology Will Fill the Future Life
C. Today’s Ideas Affect Tomorrow's Realities
D. Museum Shows the Future Threat to Mankind

Darrion Cockrell, who wasn’t much of a student, has been named Missouri’s Teacher of the Year—the state’s highest honor for educators, becoming the first male since 2015 to capture the state’s top award.
Cockrell—the child of “a drug-addicted mother” and a father who was killed when he was four years old—was in and out of the childcare centers and eventually became a gang (帮派) member. In his speech, he shouted out the special people who helped to guide him down the right path when he was going off track.
He thanked his teacher Ken who provided him with life advice while he lived in a boys group home. “He taught me it’s OK to be tough, but at the same time, it’s OK to be compassionate (富有同情心的),” Cockrell said. “He was like a father figure to me.”
The teacher—affectionately known as “DC”—also expressed his gratitude to the football coach that adopted him when he was in the 7th grade and helped to change his whole perspective (视角) on life. “When I changed the way I looked at things, the things around me started to change,” he said. “I had a lot of struggles and a lot of hurdles, and if not for those educators, I would not be here today.”
Now, Cockrell hopes to make an impact on the students at Lindbergh Schools’ Crestwood Elementary in St. Louis, where he’s been teaching physical education since 2015. Among his many accomplishments at the school is his development of the “Crest-Fit” training program for teachers, students and parents.
“Missouri is fortunate to have so many high-quality educators, and Darrion will be a wonderful representative as our state’s Teacher of the Year,” Commissioner of Education Margie Vandeven said in a statement. “He guides his students towards long-term physical and mental wellness, and the connections he has established will impact Crestwood children for years to come.”
4. Which word can best describe Cockrell’s childhood
A. Secure. B. Fortunate. C. Troublesome. D. Promising.
5. How did Cockrell ‘s football coach help him
A. He persuaded Cockrell out of the gang.
B. He put Cockrell in the childcare center.
C. He took Cockrell into his own football class.
D. He changed Cockrell ‘s way of looking at things.
6. What’s Cockrell’s major contribution to his school
A. His original teaching objective.
B. His role as a model for other teachers.
C. His father figure role in students’ development.
D. His long-term influence on the students’ health.
7. How did Margie Vandeven sound in the last paragraph
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful. C. Apologetic. D. Humorous.

Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device, described in the journal Science Advances, is stretchy enough that you can wear it like a ring, a sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person’s natural heat—employing thermoelectric generators to convert the body’s internal temperature into electricity. “In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery,” said Jianliang Xiao,author of the new paper and an associate professor at CU Boulder.
The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humans to harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren’t that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt of energy for every square centimeter of skin space—less voltage per area than what most existing batteries provide but still enough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.
Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao’s is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable—making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. “Whenever you use a battery, you’re depleting that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it,” Xiao said. “The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power.”
Just pretend that you’re out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and that heat will radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao’s device captures that flow of energy instead of letting it go to waste. “The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment,” Xiao said.
Xiao and his colleagues calculated, for example, that a person taking a brisk walk could use a device the size of a typical sports wristband to generate about 5 volts of electricity—which is more than what many watch batteries can make.
8. What does Xiao expect of his device at present
A. It will be environment-friendly. B. It will be made smaller and cheaper.
C. It will change natural power into electricity. D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.
9. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Fiction films are sometimes ridiculous. B. Robots can be a threat to humankind.
C. Xiao’s device has practical value. D. Organic energy will be badly needed by mankind.
10. What does the underlined word “depleting” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Purchasing. B. Exchanging. C. Consuming. D. Connecting.
11. What do we know about Xiao’s device from the text
A. Its shape can be changed as wished. B. It operates with very little power.
C. It benefits people’s health in a way. D. It’s based on traditional electronics.
D
Researchers from Newcastle University fitted 29 Arctic terns (燕鸥) with electronic geolocators in order to track their migration route over the course of the year. The first of the birds—which weighs just 100 g—returned to Farne Island on the Northumberland coast this spring.
It travelled 96,000 km in its round trip between Northumberland and the Weddell Sea in Antarctica, almost 5,000 km further than the former record holder—another Arctic tern from the Netherlands.
Data showed the record-breaking tern travelled down the west coast of Africa before it crossed the South Indian Ocean before finally reaching its destination in Antarctica, four months later. “For a bird that weighs less than an iPhone, that’s an amazing feat,” said Chris Redfern, one of the lead researchers.
The bird began its migration on 25 July last year, arriving at the tip of South Africa exactly one month later. It spent most of October over the Indian Ocean at its first staging area, before heading to the second stage on the coast of Antarctica. It finally travelled along the edge of the Antarctic continent between 15 November and 3 February, when it arrived at the Weddell Sea. After spending around six weeks at this spot, it began its journey back, arriving in South Africa on 4 April this year. It got back to Farne Island a month later, on 5 May.
So far 16 of the 29 tagged birds have been caught and at least four more have been seen with their geolocators still attached.
Richard Bevan, another researcher, said, “It’s really quite unbelievable to see these tiny birds return when you consider the huge distances they’ve had to travel and how they’ve battled to survive. Further analysis of the data from these trackers will allow us to get a better understanding of how the Arctic terns organise their migration and how global climate change may affect their routes.”
12. How far did the former record-setting tern fly on its one-way migration trip
A. 91,000 km. B. 48,000 km. C. 45,500 km. D. 5,000 km.
13. Which of the following agrees with the Arctic tern’s migration route
FI = Farne Island IO = Indian Ocean SA = South Africa WS = Weddell Sea
A. SA→FI→WS→IO. B. SA→IO→FI→WS.
C. FI→IO→SA→WS. D. WS→IO→SA→FI.
14. What helped the researchers most in their study of the Arctic terns
A. Observing stations. B. A radar system.
C. A positioning device. D. Electric telescopes.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Secrets of Arctic terns have come to light.
B. Birds’ migration affected by climate change.
C. Terns’ migration route mapped out by researchers.
D. Tiny seabird sets record for longest migration flight.

The USA's Best Drive-in Movie Theatres
Gather your friends, pile into the car, and enjoy an evening of America at these classic theatres.
Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop-Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop holds the title for the world's largest drive-in theatre. The drive-in theatre opened on 22 November 1963 with one screen. Now, the theatre has 13 new screens and nearly 12 million people visit it annually. The original screen is still up in running, although it's now called screen nine. Thanks to Florida's amazing weather, the theatre is open 365 days a year.
Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In-Gibson City, Illinois
Built in 1954, this two-screen drive-in is making a name for itself thanks to a decision to switch to wind power. The owners at Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In started using wind power as a way of keeping the costs of running the theatre down. By doing so, the drive-in is able to keep their prices consistent and if you want to catch a film at this green theatre, it's open from March until October.
Coyote Drive-In-Fort Worth, Texas
Opened in 2013, Coyote Drive-In was built with the goal of bringing back the drive-in magic to the community (社区）. One ticket will give you access to nightly double features-two movies back to back- available on four different screens. A unique feature of the theatre is that pets of all shapes and sizes are welcome, including horses.
Field of Dreams-Liberty Center, Ohio

As the three of them approached the waterfalls late in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Curtis Whitson could tell from the increasing roar (轰鸣）of water in the narrowing valley that they were in serious trouble. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. There was no way they'd be able to sail down the waterfall as planned.
“We've got to do something!” Whitson yelled to his wife, Krystal Ramirez, and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. Then he noticed and grabbed his bright red water bottle and carved “Help!”on it. Ramirez also reminded him that Hunter had a pen and paper in his backpack, with which they played a game. Whitson wrote “We are stuck here@the waterfall. Get help please!” on the paper, put the note into the bottle and threw it over the waterfalls.
They had thought they probably weren't going to get rescued that night. However, at midnight, they heard a helicopter above them. Unfortunately, the pilot didn't find a good place to land. The crew announced that they would come back the next day.
The next morning, the helicopter returned and lowered a crew member on a cable. Then rescuers lifted Hunter, Ramirez, and Whitson out of the valley one by one and put them and their gear (装备）on the closest cliff （悬崖）where the helicopter could safely land.
When the officers dropped them back at the campground, they learned more about the events that had saved them:Two men had seen the water bottle floating in the water. When they picked it up, they noticed the writing on it-“Help!” -which inspired their curiosity. Then they realized there was a note inside. After they read it, they brought it to the campground, turned the bottle in, and took off without leaving their names.

If nothing is done to stop rising sea levels, the homes of 200 million people could be underwater by the year 2100. That's according to a study published in the scientific magazine Nature Communications. The global sea level has been rising for more than a century, and more quickly over the last several decades. That's because climate change is melting glaciers (冰川）and ice sheets. Higher sea levels flood coastlines. If steps aren't taken to protect cities and towns, people could be forced to move inland.
One European country is especially vulnerable to flooding: the Netherlands. More than a quarter of the country already sits below sea level. But the Netherlands has developed tactics (策略）for dealing with water. For that reason, many experts believe that even though it's vulnerable to rising seas, the country is well-equipped to deal with them.
In the region that is now the Netherlands, people have been inventing ways to keep out water for at least 900 years. The country is famous for its dikes (堤坝），which are long walls that prevent flooding. But in recent years, experts there have developed new techniques that go far beyond dikes, some of which are high-tech.For example, the Maeslantkering is a massive storm-surge barrier that protects the city of Rotterdam from seawater. It's controlled by a supercomputer. It closes automatically when Rotterdam is threatened by floods.
Other projects look to nature for inspiration.The DakAkker is a farm located on top of an office building in Rotterdam. The building's roof holds rainwater to prevent runoff. Another example is the Floating Farm. Its designers wanted to make room for agriculture in a waterflooded city. More than 30 dairy cows live on the farm, which floats in Rotterdam's waterways.The farm generates (生产）its own energy using floating solar panels.
“It's not that our solutions are the best,” says Henk Ovink, who works on water issues for the Dutch government. “But we provide ideas for your country's solutions.”
28.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Heavily independent. B.Easy to be attacked.
C.Experienced in solving. D.Totally unconcerned.
29.What can we learn about “the Maeslantkering”
A.It's a tactic to deal with glaciers. B.It's a high-tech life-saving ship.
C.It's a computer-controlled dike. D.It's a high building for escape.
30.Where is the Floating Farm
A.On the river. B.Under the water.
C.On the long dikes. D.On top of a building.
31.What does Henk Ovink think of Dutch's tactics to fight floods
A.An outline. B.An instruction. C.An assumption. D.An inspiration.
D
How the languages of the world appeared is largely a mystery. Considering that it might have taken thousands of years, it is attractive to see how deaf people can create novel sign languages unconsciously. Interestingly, children played an important role in the development of these novel languages. However, how exactly this happened has not been documented.
In a series of studies, researchers attempted to recreate exactly this process. Children were invited to stay in two different rooms and an online connection was set up between them.After a brief familiarization with the set- up, the researchers sneakily (偷偷地）turned off the sound and watched as the children found new ways of communicating that go beyond spoken language.
The children's task was to describe an image with different themes in a coordination game. With concrete things-like a hammer or a fork-children quickly found a solution by imitating the matching action, for example, eating, in a gesture. But the researchers repeatedly challenged the children with new, more abstract pictures. In the course of the study, the images to be described became more and more complex, which was also reflected in the gestures that the children produced. In order to communicate, the children invented separate gestures for actors and actions and began to combine them-thus creating a kind of small local grammar.
How does a language come into being Based on the present study, the following steps appear reasonable: first, people create reference to actions and objects through signs that resemble things. The precondition for this is a common ground of experience between interaction partners. Partners also coordinate (配合）by imitating each other so that they use the same signs for the same things. The signs thus gain interpersonal and eventually common meaning. Over time, the relationships between the signs and things become more abstract and the meaning of the individual signs becomes more specific. Grammatical structures are gradually introduced when there is a need to communicate more complex facts. However, the most remarkable aspect of the current studies is that these processes can be observed under controlled circumstances and within 30 minutes.
32.How did the researchers carry out the experiment
A.By making the communication in total silence.
B.By inferring to and copying the documented scene.
C.By observing children communicate face to face.
D.By listening secretly to the communication of children.
33.What should children do in the studies
A.Show how to do different things with different tools.
B.Take several oral examinations on foreign languages.
C.Describe things to others without spoken languages.
D.Name some abstract objects which they have never seen.
34.What is the process of creating a language
A.Signs→Accepted meaning→Interpersonal meaning→Language
B.Interpersonal meaning→Accepted meaning→Signs→Language
C.Accepted meaning→Interpersonal meaning→Signs→Language
D.Signs→Interpersonal meaning→Accepted meaning→Language
35.What is the text mainly about
A.The development of novel sign languages.
B.The first steps of the making of languages.
C.The role children play in creating languages.
D.The circumstances of languages coming into being.
