The Woolly Monkey Mysteries: The Quest to Save a Rain Forest Species
By Sandra Markle. Ages 8 to 10.
Woolly Monkeys spend most of their time high up in 150-foot-tall trees. That makes them difficult animals to count and to study. But cameras have provided valuable information and taken, as this book shows, amazing pictures. Experts now believe that Peru's lowland monkeys and the waste they produce are necessary to the survival of the rain forest.
Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild
By Catherine Thimmesh. Ages 10 to 12.
The giant panda is much-beloved in China, but in the past 40 years, at least half of its places have been destroyed. Camp Panda tells about efforts to reintroduce the giant pandas into the wild so that they might have a future. As part of the efforts, people wear panda costumes that smell like pandas while weighing and measuring the young pandas. They aren't supposed to get used to seeing and being around people, because people could bring a threat to them in the wild.

If someone said they'd pay you $ 1, 800 to stay off social media for six years, would you do it Could you
Sivert Klefsaas did just that. "I thought it was awesome, "Sivert told CNN Tuesday, “I thought, 'Ah what's 6 more years '”
In 2016, Lorna Goldstrand Klefsaas challenged her 12-year-old son Sivert to stay off social media until he was 18. If he completed the challenge, she'd award him the cash on his eighteenth birthday. On February 19, 2022, Sivert claimed his prize.
Lorna was inspired by a challenge she heard on the radio called the “16 for 16", where a mother gave her daughter $ 1, 600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media, she told CNN．She decided to up the ante （期限）to two extra years and ＄ 200 more．
Sivert said it wasn't too difficult to live without social media, and he didn't think about it much during the six years. 'As a 12 year old, Sivert said he wasn't using social media much anyway. The only app he had prior to the bet was Snapchat-which he deleted a day after trying it out. “I wouldn't say there was ever a time when I thought I was about to break. " he said. “As it went on, it was more of a pride thing. "He also had his friends to keep him up to date on the latest information or trends. “I got to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there. " Sivert added.
Lorna said she never had to check for any sneakily downloaded apps. "He's so competitive, it was definitely more for proving a point. " she said. It also meant he had more time to focus on his grades and sports instead, Sivert told reporter.
Now $ 1, 800 richer, Sivert told CNN he hasn't thought about what to buy （when he was 12, he joked he'd get a house）, but it'll likely be something for his dorm room at the University of Northwestern St. Paul, which he'll attend in the fall.
After Sivert's success, Lorma took to Facebook to share the challenge. She said it was some of the best money she ever spent. Other parents have seemed interested in trying it out too, she told CNN.
“We are certainly not against social media, but it's the healthy using of it. ”Lorna noted. “It's about not letting yourself get weighed down by it, or addicted to it, or affected by things that people post. " She added she thinks her son now has a “different perspective" on social media than he would have at age 12.
24. What do we know about Lorna
A. She posted the challenge on CNN.
B. She has a different perspective on social media now.
C. She offered Sivert the cash on his sixteenth birthday.
D. She got inspiration from a similar challenge over the radio.
25. What mainly made Sivert win $ 1, 800

If you're like most people, you're too busy eating pizza to stop and consider how it arrived on your kitchen counter. Ponder it long enough, though, and you may find it curious that pies usually come in square or other boxes that are different from the round crust. So why don't pizzas arrive in round cardboard boxes
It's mostly because the pizza industry doesn't really care to disrupt the cardboard industry. Cardboard boxes are usually manufactured with edges （i. e. square or rectangular） because they can be made in one piece as well as neatly stacked（堆放）.
The advantage of making a round pizza box would mainly be good-looking. It's not going to save space over an edged box. In the case of frozen pizzas, stacking pies vertically runs the risk of them rolling out of place. It's just bad pizza management.
Of course, there are exceptions. Many pizzerias offer sheet or Sicilian-style pizzas, which are served in a rectangular shape and better fit a rectangular box. And some chains have toyed with the conventional pizza box shape. Domino＇s has a six-sided design with tapered（锥形的）front edges intended to reduce the cardboard used and limit the company's carbon footprint. （It also reportedly keeps the pizza from sliding around. ）
Pizza wasn't always served in square cardboard. In the 1800s, street sellers carried pies in portable metal containers that kept them warm. When pizza started rising in popularity in postwar America, pizzerias used a single piece of cardboard as support and then slipped the pie into a paper bag. Eventually, corrugated（波纹的）cardboard struck a fine balance between preserving heat without trapping too much moisture.
Will we ever see a complete rethink of the pizza box Some people have tried. In 2010, Apple filed for a patent for a round pizza container with holes so moisture can escape. It's used in the company＇s food courts. Another company, World Centric, designed a compostable（可降解的） round box in 2018 that can be used to reheat pizza. A similar product was test-marketed by Pizza Hut in 2019. All of the designs boasted of keeping pizzas warmer and crispier for longer, but none have become commonly used.
For the most part, you're still likely to encounter square boxes. Pizza is, after all, about finding comfort in the familiar.
28. How does the writer introduce the topic
A. By describing a common problem.
B. By raising a question.
C. By challenging others' views.
D. By making a comparison.
29. Why do pizzas usually come in square boxes
A. Square boxes are good-looking.
B. The pizza industry cares it much.
C. Square boxes can be made and stacked easily.
D. Square boxes can keep pizzas warmer and crispier for longer.
30. What is the sixth paragraph mainly about
A. The bright future of the pizza box.
B. Significant changes of the pizza box.
C. Failed attempts of several companies.
D. Successful examples of several companies.
31. Which of the following can be the title of the passage
A. Why do round pizzas come in square boxes
B. How did pizza boxes develop into what it is
C. What advantages do square pizza boxes have
D. How did square pizza boxes come into being

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has confirmed the largest icy comet nucleus ever seen by scientists. The nucleus of comet C/2014 UN271 is about 80 miles in diameter, which is larger than the state of Rhode Island, NASA says.
The comet's nucleus is about 50 times larger than that of most comets, and its mass is estimated to be gigantic 500 trillion tons.
“This comet is literally the tip of the iceberg for many thousands of comets that are too faint to see in the more distant parts of the solar system, ” David Jewitt, a professor of planetary science and astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement.
"We've always suspected this comet had to be big because it is so bright at such a large distance. Now we confirm it is. ” Jewitt added.
Comet C/2014 UN271 was discovered by astronomers Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein using archival images from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The comet has been observed since 2010, when it was 3 billion miles away from the sun, and has been studied since then.
NASA says there was a challenge in measuring the comet's nucleus because it was too far away for the Hubble telescope to determine its size. Instead, scientists had to make a computer model that was adjusted to fit the images of the comet's bright light that they got from the telescope's data.
Despite traveling at 22, 000 mph, the massive comet is still coming from the edge of the solar system. But NASA assures us that it will never get closer than 1 billion miles away from the sun--and even then, that won't be until 2031.
The previous record-holder for largest comet nucleus was discovered in 2002. Comet C/2002 VQ94 was approximately 60 miles across.
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE about comet C/2014 UN271
A. The temperature of its nucleus is rather low.
B. It is3 billion miles away from the sun now.
C. It was first discovered through NASA's telescope.
D. It is traveling towards the edge of the solar system.
33. The underlined word “gigantic" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. Average. B. Enormous. C. Small. D. Moderate.
34. What can be inferred from David Jewitt's words
A. The comet C/2014 UN271 is very bright at a large distance.
B. The comet C/2014 UN271 is at the tip of an iceberg.
C. The scientists had never doubted the size of the comet C/2014 UN271.
D. There are more comets to be discovered in the solar system.
35. What made it difficult to measure the comet's nucleus
A. The huge size of the comet.
B. The limited knowledge of the scientists.
C. The distance between the comet and the telescope.
D. The quality of the images of the comet's bright light.

He is a 62-year-old superior court judge, but they are former addicts and criminals. All of them, however, are part of one team： the Skid Row Running Club in Los Angeles （L. A.）.
Twice a week, before the sun comes up, Judge Craig Mitchell runs the mile from his office at the county courthouse to The Midnight Mission, a social services organization centered in Downtown's Skid Row - the well-known area where the city's largest homeless population lives.
At the organization, he meets a group of 30 to 40 people and together they run through East L. A. The group includes runners from all walks of life and all levels of athleticism. Some members are homeless or in recovery, and others are lawyers, social workers or students.
Mitchell developed the program in 2012 after a man he'd once sentenced to prison returned to thank him. “He was paroled（假释）to The Midnight Mission and decided to come back and said 'Thank you, Judge Mitchell, for treating me like a human being. ' The president of the organization at the time asked me if there was something that I could do to contribute to the organization, and I thought of starting a running club. That was the inception," Mitchell said.
Every year, Mitchell takes his most devoted Skid Row runners on a free trip to participate in an international marathon. "I come back to the courthouse after any run and check off who is there. And so, I know exactly who has been faithful to the running program and who just comes once in a while, ” he said.
Mitchell says he's seen some participants turn their lives around, attending college, securing full-time employment and possessing calmness. "Running is a way for the participants to build relationships," he said. "You can be an amazing runner and benefit as much as our fast runners, because at the end of the day you're going to be surrounded by people who really care about you and want to spend time with you. Everybody is welcome. We believe. We listen. We support.

What is a book nowadays in a world of Kindles and iPads Traditional publishers are traveling a long and confusing road into the digital future. Here's the conventional wisdom about publishing ： People expect e-books to be cheaper than physical books, and that drives down prices. But the story's not that simple. For one thing, digital publishers have the same problem that traditional publishers do： piracy（盗版）.
It turns out, though, that some publishers are doing pretty well despite the piracy problem. "We've had an amazing year," says Sourcebooks President Dominique Raccah. "Last year was the best year in the company's history. This year we beat that, which I didn't think was even possible." Raccah adds that her company is doing well because of digital publishing.
It turns out there are some huge advantages - at least for publishers. A big one ： The price of an e-book isn't fixed the way it is with physical books. Ten years ago, a publisher would have sent out its books to the bookstore with the price stamped on the cover. After that, it was done - the publisher couldn't put a book on sale to sell more copies.
“The exciting thing about digital books is that we actually get to test and price differently, " Raccah says. That's what American publisher Little, Brown and Company did with Robert Dallek's book An Unfinished Life： John F. Kennedy. In the middle of November, Little, Brown and Company dropped the price from $ 9. 99 to $ 2. 99 for 24 hours. That sparks sales; it gets people talking about it," says Terry Adams, a publisher with Little, Brown and Company.
If you read the new e-book 40 Years of Queen, you, 11 find it full of links. Links to iTunes, where you can buy the music you've been reading about. That's another huge advantage of e-books ：
Publishers can sell you things inside your book.
There's still one big problem putting pressure on publishers. "We actually don't have a good gifting tradition yet for e-books," says Raccah. Despite all the advances in reading technology, physical books are still the best Christmas presents.
28. How does Raccah feel about her company's achievement this year
A. It's really disappointing. B. It's less than satisfactory.
C. It's just what she predicted. D. It's far beyond her expectations.
29. Why does the author mention publishing 10 years ago
A. To stress it had its own advantage.
B. To show its marketing was not flexible.
C. To complain about the changing prices of books.
D. To indicate the unpopularity of physical books.
30. What do we know about An Unfinished Life ： John F. Kennedy
A. It was written by John F. Kennedy.
B. It caused disagreements among buyers.
C. It was sold at a huge discount for one day.
D. It was sold at a different price every week.
31. What can you do while reading the new e-book 40 Years of Queen
A. Buy items mentioned in the book.
B. Find links to other relevant books.
C. Get some background information.
D. Listen to music in the book for free.

Futurism is all around us, even if we usually don't notice it. When it comes to the weather, forecasting is normal. When it comes to cultural or social predictions, though, futurism can feel more fantastical. But over the last decades, such forecasts have gradually become serious business, shaping our expectations and the world.
A range of professions - from sociologists to economic forecasters - have long devoted time and energy to predicting where the world might go. By the middle of the 20th century, futurology, or the study of the future, became more systematic as social scientists developed futurological methods. At the RAND Corporation, during the 1960s, strategists such as Herman Kahn established long-range planning panies also involved themselves in encouraging the new study's rise. In 1967, Royal Dutch Shell began to experiment with scenario （情境）planning or the technique of using storytelling to speculate （推测）about the future. Called the Year 2000 study, Shell's earliest scenarios suggested that the company needed to plan for discontinuity, helping it to better deal with political and social changes that might impact its bottom line.
Faith Popcorn, who runs the futurist consulting firm BrainReserve, did something revolutionary in the 1970s and 1980s； Rather than predict product prices or sports scores, Popcorn and other futurists studied consumer culture. They realized that rapid cultural change could shake up what products people wanted. They studied human behavior and tracked new cultural developments to help imagine and design goods and services that were on trend, and soon consumers would see new things being marketed and sold. When BrainReserve predicted that more people would be staying home, Domino's made moves to dominate pizza delivery to unsocial customers. In 1982, John Naisbitt's best-selling book “Megatrends" predicted the trend of panies then made office spaces more open, or offered ATMs that asked “How are you” as a bank teller might.
Futurists and trend forecasters found a broad audience in the US for their predictions in the 1970s, and still do to this day. If anything, fast-paced technological changes, and current social and political issues, have increased people's appetite for where the world might go. And even when they get it wrong, forecasters continue to capture attention and market share - anyone today seems to have a burning desire to glimpse what the future might hold.
32. What role did the Year 2000 study play
A. It caused Shell to make wrong decisions.
B. It promoted the development of futurology.
C. It provided data for the RAND Corporation.
D. It started a new method of studying the future.
33. How did BrainReserve help businesses
A. It helped create new products. B. It helped predict product prices.
C. It helped humanize office spaces. D. It helped deliver goods to consumers.
34. What is today's Americans attitude to future predictions
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Different futurological methods.
B. Forecasters influence on culture.
C. The history of predicting the future.
D. Important changes in consumer culture.

One day the sewer line（污水管道）under my house burst. My first response was to call the plumber, but when he heard what had happened, he said he couldn’t help. “We don’t do that,” he said, as if to suggest that even plumbers have their dignity. He did, however, recommend someone. I made the call, expecting the man to complain at such a miserable job. Instead, he simply asked, “The address ”
2And that was it. An hour later, Steve arrived in his truck. I watched as he walked down into the damp depths. A few moments later he appeared, saying, “Yes. It’s broken.”
“Can you fix it ” I asked with a strange mixture of doubt and hope.
3Steve looked at me strangely as if rebuking my lack of faith, and then said, “Sure.” Then he told me that he had to get a backhoe（反铲挖土机）and dig up the street to the main sewer line.
I showed appropriate panic. “How long will all this take ”
“I should have it done by evening.”
4I didn’t want to watch the excavation（挖掘） of my property unfold. All I wanted was to leave, go somewhere, and, upon my return, have everything the way it was before the damage.
5I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean car, leaving Steve to such a disagreeable task. I went into town and visited a few friends. Eventually, around 6 p.m., my curiosity got the better of me. I went home, and a sweeter sight I never saw: a patch of newly-paved street and a covered-up excavation across my front garden. I opened the basement door and—all was tidy and relatively dry.
6I sat down on the back garden, lost in thought. I was taken by the very idea that, whatever crisis might happen to an unlucky homeowner, there is somebody, somewhere, who is practiced in its resolution. If that’s not reason for thankfulness, I’m not sure what is.
4. Why did the first plumber reject the author’s request
A. He wanted to protect his dignity. B. He was inexperienced in the job.
C. He had another urgent task to do. D. He thought the job was unpleasant.
5. What does the underlined word “rebuking” in paragraph 4 mean

C. The difficulty of the repair work. D. The effects of the broken sewer line.
7. What was the author’s purpose of going into town
A. To remove his negative emotions. B. To avoid doing the excavation work.
C. To visit a couple of friends. D. To satisfy his own curiosity.
C
The Little Baby Face Foundation（LBFF）is an NYC-based nonprofit organization with a great deal of controversy. Founded in 2002, it provides free plastic surgery for children born with facial deformities（畸形）. Many teenagers who have been teased for their looks are now applying to have their problem areas “fixed” by LBFF.
Nadia, one 14-year-old teenager, had her face greatly changed in June when she went under the knife. Her classmates had been constantly making fun of her appearance. “They said I have the biggest ears that they’ve ever seen. They called me elephant ears,” Nadia said. Those comments hurt her a lot. She even considered how to end her own life.
But Nadia tried to keep the bullying a secret from her mother, Lynda. Her mother was already dealing with mounting medical bills for her 9-year-old son, Josh, who had a serious brain disease. When her mother did finally find out about the bullying, she was heartbroken.
Nadia decided to end her bullying problems with plastic surgery. Then her mother turned to the LBFF, which accepted Nadia’s application. The surgeries were very painful and it took months for her face to heal, but she did manage to return to school with a new face, a face she was finally proud of.
Nadia’s surgery may have helped her overcome her emotional pain, but should teenagers go to those extremes just because they are being bullied
Experts warn if the deformities are not really a problem to the child, plastic surgery is not the answer! In fact, when a teen decides to get plastic surgery because he or she is being bullied, it can send the wrong message. By surgically changing the victim of a bully, it is as if you support the bullying and agree the victim is in fact worthy of all those names he or she has been called. It is like saying to teenagers: “Yes, there is something wrong with you, and you should get it fixed!”
8 What did Nadia think of her school life in the past
A. Busy. B. Exciting.
C. Miserable. D. Ordinary.
9. Why did Nadia keep the secret from her mother
A. Her mother had heart disease. B. She didn’t want to burden her.
C. Her mother was afraid of being bullied. D. She didn’t know how to share it with her.
10. Why does the author say plastic surgery can send the wrong message
A. It may let bullies feel they are right. B. It may become popular among teens.
C. It may damage the name of the LBFF. D. It may change victims into bullies.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Why many teenagers are being teased
B. Is plastic surgery the answer to bullying
C. Why surgery helps overcome emotional pain

The study, published today in the journal PLOS Biology shows that the average body size and number of sharks and other marine predators—vital to maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems—fell significantly near cities with more than 10,000 people and associated fishing boats.
The minimum distance from people and fishing which had no measurable effect was 1,250 kilometers. This is far further than previous studies have suggested and probably reflects the increased distances fishing boats can now travel. As a result, sharks were only observed at 12% of sites monitored.
Lead author Dr. Tom Letessier said, ''Human activity is now the biggest influence on sharks' distribution. Just 13% of the world's oceans can be considered 'wilderness' but sharks and other predators are much more common and significantly larger at distances greater than 1,250 kilometers from people. This suggests that large marine predators are generally unable to thrive near to people and is another clear example of the impact of human overuse on our seas. ''
To collect their data, the team analyzed videos taken at 1,041 sites across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, selected to test the biggest possible range of conditions and habitats. Sharks and other free-swimming predators were studied using cameras attached cannisters(炮筒)filled with bait. In total, the team recorded 23,200 animals representing 109 species. These included 841 individual sharks from 19 different species.
Dr. Letessier added, ''Our study also found that shallower water environment, of depths less than 500 meters, were vital for marine predator diversity. We therefore need to identify sites that are both shallow and remote and protect them. However, there are still numerous shallow hot spots near human markets that are not appropriately protected, and this must change. ''
12. According to the study, what happened to sharks and other marine predators
A. They became less important for keeping healthy ocean ecosystems.
B. They only lived near cities with 10,000 people.
C. They loved swimming after fishing boats.
D. Their average body size and number decreased sharply.
13. Which of the following statements may Dr. Tom Letessier agree with
A. Large marine predators can grow well near people.
B. People shouldn't disturb the sea and sea animals.
C. Sharks’ distribution was mainly affected by human activity.
D. Other ecological factors have no impact on sharks’ distribution.
14 What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4
A. Introduce a new topic for readers.
B. Introduce the study means used by the team.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D. Collect data about sharks and other predators.
15. What can we infer about the perfect environment for marine predator diversity
A. It should be deeper than 500 meters.
B. It should be spots that are hot enough.
C. It should be shallower and away from humans.
D. It should be spots changed from human markets.

The Woolly Monkey Mysteries: The Quest to Save a Rain Forest Species
By Sandra Markle. Ages 8 to 10.
Woolly Monkeys spend most of their time high up in 150-foot-tall trees. That makes them difficult animals to count and to study. But cameras have provided valuable information and taken, as this book shows, amazing pictures. Experts now believe that Peru's lowland monkeys and the waste they produce are necessary to the survival of the rain forest.
Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild
By Catherine Thimmesh. Ages 10 to 12.

Camp Panda tells about efforts to reintroduce the giant pandas into the wild so that they might have a future. As part of the efforts, people wear panda costumes that smell like pandas while weighing and measuring the young pandas. They aren't supposed to get used to seeing and being around people, because people could bring a threat to them in the wild.

If someone said they'd pay you $ 1, 800 to stay off social media for six years, would you do it Could you
Sivert Klefsaas did just that. "I thought it was awesome, "Sivert told CNN Tuesday, “I thought, 'Ah what's 6 more years '”
In 2016, Lorna Goldstrand Klefsaas challenged her 12-year-old son Sivert to stay off social media until he was 18. If he completed the challenge, she'd award him the cash on his eighteenth birthday. On February 19, 2022, Sivert claimed his prize.
Lorna was inspired by a challenge she heard on the radio called the “16 for 16", where a mother gave her daughter $ 1, 600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media, she told CNN．She decided to up the ante （期限）to two extra years and ＄ 200 more．
Sivert said it wasn't too difficult to live without social media, and he didn't think about it much during the six years. 'As a 12 year old, Sivert said he wasn't using social media much anyway. The only app he had prior to the bet was Snapchat-which he deleted a day after trying it out. “I wouldn't say there was ever a time when I thought I was about to break. " he said. “As it went on, it was more of a pride thing. "He also had his friends to keep him up to date on the latest information or trends. “I got to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there. " Sivert added.
Lorna said she never had to check for any sneakily downloaded apps. "He's so competitive, it was definitely more for proving a point. " she said. It also meant he had more time to focus on his grades and sports instead, Sivert told reporter.
Now $ 1, 800 richer, Sivert told CNN he hasn't thought about what to buy （when he was 12, he joked he'd get a house）, but it'll likely be something for his dorm room at the University of Northwestern St. Paul, which he'll attend in the fall.
After Sivert's success, Lorma took to Facebook to share the challenge. She said it was some of the best money she ever spent. Other parents have seemed interested in trying it out too, she told CNN.
“We are certainly not against social media, but it's the healthy using of it. ”Lorna noted. “It's about not letting yourself get weighed down by it, or addicted to it, or affected by things that people post. " She added she thinks her son now has a “different perspective" on social media than he would have at age 12.
24. What do we know about Lorna
A. She posted the challenge on CNN.
B. She has a different perspective on social media now.
C. She offered Sivert the cash on his sixteenth birthday.
D. She got inspiration from a similar challenge over the radio.
25. What mainly made Sivert win $ 1, 800
A. His eagerness to prove himself.
B. His mother' support.
C. His friends' encouragement.

If you're like most people, you're too busy eating pizza to stop and consider how it arrived on your kitchen counter. Ponder it long enough, though, and you may find it curious that pies usually come in square or other boxes that are different from the round crust. So why don't pizzas arrive in round cardboard boxes
It's mostly because the pizza industry doesn't really care to disrupt the cardboard industry. Cardboard boxes are usually manufactured with edges （i. e. square or rectangular） because they can be made in one piece as well as neatly stacked（堆放）.
The advantage of making a round pizza box would mainly be good-looking. It's not going to save space over an edged box. In the case of frozen pizzas, stacking pies vertically runs the risk of them rolling out of place. It's just bad pizza management.
Of course, there are exceptions. Many pizzerias offer sheet or Sicilian-style pizzas, which are served in a rectangular shape and better fit a rectangular box. And some chains have toyed with the conventional pizza box shape. Domino＇s has a six-sided design with tapered（锥形的）front edges intended to reduce the cardboard used and limit the company's carbon footprint. （It also reportedly keeps the pizza from sliding around. ）
Pizza wasn't always served in square cardboard. In the 1800s, street sellers carried pies in portable metal containers that kept them warm. When pizza started rising in popularity in postwar America, pizzerias used a single piece of cardboard as support and then slipped the pie into a paper bag. Eventually, corrugated（波纹的）cardboard struck a fine balance between preserving heat without trapping too much moisture.
Will we ever see a complete rethink of the pizza box Some people have tried. In 2010, Apple filed for a patent for a round pizza container with holes so moisture can escape. It's used in the company＇s food courts. Another company, World Centric, designed a compostable（可降解的） round box in 2018 that can be used to reheat pizza. A similar product was test-marketed by Pizza Hut in 2019. All of the designs boasted of keeping pizzas warmer and crispier for longer, but none have become commonly used.
For the most part, you're still likely to encounter square boxes. Pizza is, after all, about finding comfort in the familiar.
28. How does the writer introduce the topic
A. By describing a common problem.
B. By raising a question.
C. By challenging others' views.
D. By making a comparison.
29. Why do pizzas usually come in square boxes
A. Square boxes are good-looking.
B. The pizza industry cares it much.
C. Square boxes can be made and stacked easily.
D. Square boxes can keep pizzas warmer and crispier for longer.
30. What is the sixth paragraph mainly about
A. The bright future of the pizza box.
B. Significant changes of the pizza box.
C. Failed attempts of several companies.
D. Successful examples of several companies.
31. Which of the following can be the title of the passage
A. Why do round pizzas come in square boxes
B. How did pizza boxes develop into what it is
C. What advantages do square pizza boxes have
D. How did square pizza boxes come into being

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has confirmed the largest icy comet nucleus ever seen by scientists. The nucleus of comet C/2014 UN271 is about 80 miles in diameter, which is larger than the state of Rhode Island, NASA says.
The comet's nucleus is about 50 times larger than that of most comets, and its mass is estimated to be gigantic 500 trillion tons.
“This comet is literally the tip of the iceberg for many thousands of comets that are too faint to see in the more distant parts of the solar system, ” David Jewitt, a professor of planetary science and astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement.
"We've always suspected this comet had to be big because it is so bright at such a large distance. Now we confirm it is. ” Jewitt added.
Comet C/2014 UN271 was discovered by astronomers Pedro Bernardinelli and Gary Bernstein using archival images from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The comet has been observed since 2010, when it was 3 billion miles away from the sun, and has been studied since then.
NASA says there was a challenge in measuring the comet's nucleus because it was too far away for the Hubble telescope to determine its size. Instead, scientists had to make a computer model that was adjusted to fit the images of the comet's bright light that they got from the telescope's data.
Despite traveling at 22, 000 mph, the massive comet is still coming from the edge of the solar system. But NASA assures us that it will never get closer than 1 billion miles away from the sun--and even then, that won't be until 2031.
The previous record-holder for largest comet nucleus was discovered in 2002. Comet C/2002 VQ94 was approximately 60 miles across.
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE about comet C/2014 UN271
A. The temperature of its nucleus is rather low.
B. It is3 billion miles away from the sun now.
C. It was first discovered through NASA's telescope.
D. It is traveling towards the edge of the solar system.
33. The underlined word “gigantic" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. Average. B. Enormous. C. Small. D. Moderate.
34. What can be inferred from David Jewitt's words
A. The comet C/2014 UN271 is very bright at a large distance.
B. The comet C/2014 UN271 is at the tip of an iceberg.
C. The scientists had never doubted the size of the comet C/2014 UN271.
D. There are more comets to be discovered in the solar system.
35. What made it difficult to measure the comet's nucleus
A. The huge size of the comet.
B. The limited knowledge of the scientists.
C. The distance between the comet and the telescope.
D. The quality of the images of the comet's bright light.

He is a 62-year-old superior court judge, but they are former addicts and criminals. All of them, however, are part of one team： the Skid Row Running Club in Los Angeles （L. A.）.
Twice a week, before the sun comes up, Judge Craig Mitchell runs the mile from his office at the county courthouse to The Midnight Mission, a social services organization centered in Downtown's Skid Row - the well-known area where the city's largest homeless population lives.
At the organization, he meets a group of 30 to 40 people and together they run through East L. A. The group includes runners from all walks of life and all levels of athleticism. Some members are homeless or in recovery, and others are lawyers, social workers or students.
Mitchell developed the program in 2012 after a man he'd once sentenced to prison returned to thank him. “He was paroled（假释）to The Midnight Mission and decided to come back and said 'Thank you, Judge Mitchell, for treating me like a human being. ' The president of the organization at the time asked me if there was something that I could do to contribute to the organization, and I thought of starting a running club. That was the inception," Mitchell said.
Every year, Mitchell takes his most devoted Skid Row runners on a free trip to participate in an international marathon. "I come back to the courthouse after any run and check off who is there. And so, I know exactly who has been faithful to the running program and who just comes once in a while, ” he said.
Mitchell says he's seen some participants turn their lives around, attending college, securing full-time employment and possessing calmness. "Running is a way for the participants to build relationships," he said. "You can be an amazing runner and benefit as much as our fast runners, because at the end of the day you're going to be surrounded by people who really care about you and want to spend time with you. Everybody is welcome. We believe. We listen. We support.
24. What can we learn about the Skid Row Running Club
A. It was set up to make a profit.
B. It consists of all sorts of members.
C. It's failed to win popularity in L. A.
D. It was designed mainly for court judges.
25. What does the underlined word "inception" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean

C. To award devoted runners. D. To make sure of their presence.
27. What does Mitchell's story tell us
A. Running can highly educate criminals.

D. Running can help build a charity for the poor.

What is a book nowadays in a world of Kindles and iPads Traditional publishers are traveling a long and confusing road into the digital future. Here's the conventional wisdom about publishing ： People expect e-books to be cheaper than physical books, and that drives down prices. But the story's not that simple. For one thing, digital publishers have the same problem that traditional publishers do： piracy（盗版）.
It turns out, though, that some publishers are doing pretty well despite the piracy problem. "We've had an amazing year," says Sourcebooks President Dominique Raccah. "Last year was the best year in the company's history. This year we beat that, which I didn't think was even possible." Raccah adds that her company is doing well because of digital publishing.
It turns out there are some huge advantages - at least for publishers. A big one ： The price of an e-book isn't fixed the way it is with physical books. Ten years ago, a publisher would have sent out its books to the bookstore with the price stamped on the cover. After that, it was done - the publisher couldn't put a book on sale to sell more copies.
“The exciting thing about digital books is that we actually get to test and price differently, " Raccah says. That's what American publisher Little, Brown and Company did with Robert Dallek's book An Unfinished Life： John F. Kennedy. In the middle of November, Little, Brown and Company dropped the price from $ 9. 99 to $ 2. 99 for 24 hours. That sparks sales; it gets people talking about it," says Terry Adams, a publisher with Little, Brown and Company.

Futurism is all around us, even if we usually don't notice it. When it comes to the weather, forecasting is normal. When it comes to cultural or social predictions, though, futurism can feel more fantastical. But over the last decades, such forecasts have gradually become serious business, shaping our expectations and the world.
A range of professions - from sociologists to economic forecasters - have long devoted time and energy to predicting where the world might go. By the middle of the 20th century, futurology, or the study of the future, became more systematic as social scientists developed futurological methods. At the RAND Corporation, during the 1960s, strategists such as Herman Kahn established long-range planning panies also involved themselves in encouraging the new study's rise. In 1967, Royal Dutch Shell began to experiment with scenario （情境）planning or the technique of using storytelling to speculate （推测）about the future. Called the Year 2000 study, Shell's earliest scenarios suggested that the company needed to plan for discontinuity, helping it to better deal with political and social changes that might impact its bottom line.
Faith Popcorn, who runs the futurist consulting firm BrainReserve, did something revolutionary in the 1970s and 1980s； Rather than predict product prices or sports scores, Popcorn and other futurists studied consumer culture. They realized that rapid cultural change could shake up what products people wanted. They studied human behavior and tracked new cultural developments to help imagine and design goods and services that were on trend, and soon consumers would see new things being marketed and sold. When BrainReserve predicted that more people would be staying home, Domino's made moves to dominate pizza delivery to unsocial customers. In 1982, John Naisbitt's best-selling book “Megatrends" predicted the trend of panies then made office spaces more open, or offered ATMs that asked “How are you” as a bank teller might.
Futurists and trend forecasters found a broad audience in the US for their predictions in the 1970s, and still do to this day. If anything, fast-paced technological changes, and current social and political issues, have increased people's appetite for where the world might go. And even when they get it wrong, forecasters continue to capture attention and market share - anyone today seems to have a burning desire to glimpse what the future might hold.
32. What role did the Year 2000 study play
A. It caused Shell to make wrong decisions.
B. It promoted the development of futurology.
C. It provided data for the RAND Corporation.
D. It started a new method of studying the future.
33. How did BrainReserve help businesses
A. It helped create new products. B. It helped predict product prices.
C. It helped humanize office spaces. D. It helped deliver goods to consumers.
34. What is today's Americans attitude to future predictions
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Indifferent. D. Uncertain.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Different futurological methods.
B. Forecasters influence on culture.
C. The history of predicting the future.
D. Important changes in consumer culture.

One day the sewer line（污水管道）under my house burst. My first response was to call the plumber, but when he heard what had happened, he said he couldn’t help. “We don’t do that,” he said, as if to suggest that even plumbers have their dignity. He did, however, recommend someone. I made the call, expecting the man to complain at such a miserable job. Instead, he simply asked, “The address ”
2And that was it. An hour later, Steve arrived in his truck. I watched as he walked down into the damp depths. A few moments later he appeared, saying, “Yes. It’s broken.”
“Can you fix it ” I asked with a strange mixture of doubt and hope.
3Steve looked at me strangely as if rebuking my lack of faith, and then said, “Sure.” Then he told me that he had to get a backhoe（反铲挖土机）and dig up the street to the main sewer line.
I showed appropriate panic. “How long will all this take ”
“I should have it done by evening.”
4I didn’t want to watch the excavation（挖掘） of my property unfold. All I wanted was to leave, go somewhere, and, upon my return, have everything the way it was before the damage.
5I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean car, leaving Steve to such a disagreeable task. I went into town and visited a few friends. Eventually, around 6 p.m., my curiosity got the better of me. I went home, and a sweeter sight I never saw: a patch of newly-paved street and a covered-up excavation across my front garden. I opened the basement door and—all was tidy and relatively dry.
6I sat down on the back garden, lost in thought. I was taken by the very idea that, whatever crisis might happen to an unlucky homeowner, there is somebody, somewhere, who is practiced in its resolution. If that’s not reason for thankfulness, I’m not sure what is.

The Little Baby Face Foundation（LBFF）is an NYC-based nonprofit organization with a great deal of controversy. Founded in 2002, it provides free plastic surgery for children born with facial deformities（畸形）. Many teenagers who have been teased for their looks are now applying to have their problem areas “fixed” by LBFF.
Nadia, one 14-year-old teenager, had her face greatly changed in June when she went under the knife. Her classmates had been constantly making fun of her appearance. “They said I have the biggest ears that they’ve ever seen. They called me elephant ears,” Nadia said. Those comments hurt her a lot. She even considered how to end her own life.
But Nadia tried to keep the bullying a secret from her mother, Lynda. Her mother was already dealing with mounting medical bills for her 9-year-old son, Josh, who had a serious brain disease. When her mother did finally find out about the bullying, she was heartbroken.
Nadia decided to end her bullying problems with plastic surgery. Then her mother turned to the LBFF, which accepted Nadia’s application. The surgeries were very painful and it took months for her face to heal, but she did manage to return to school with a new face, a face she was finally proud of.
Nadia’s surgery may have helped her overcome her emotional pain, but should teenagers go to those extremes just because they are being bullied
Experts warn if the deformities are not really a problem to the child, plastic surgery is not the answer! In fact, when a teen decides to get plastic surgery because he or she is being bullied, it can send the wrong message. By surgically changing the victim of a bully, it is as if you support the bullying and agree the victim is in fact worthy of all those names he or she has been called. It is like saying to teenagers: “Yes, there is something wrong with you, and you should get it fixed!”
8 What did Nadia think of her school life in the past
A. Busy. B. Exciting.
C. Miserable. D. Ordinary.
9. Why did Nadia keep the secret from her mother
A. Her mother had heart disease. B. She didn’t want to burden her.
C. Her mother was afraid of being bullied. D. She didn’t know how to share it with her.
10. Why does the author say plastic surgery can send the wrong message
A. It may let bullies feel they are right. B. It may become popular among teens.
C. It may damage the name of the LBFF. D. It may change victims into bullies.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Why many teenagers are being teased
B. Is plastic surgery the answer to bullying
C. Why surgery helps overcome emotional pain
D. Should we pay more attention to appearance
D
The study, published today in the journal PLOS Biology shows that the average body size and number of sharks and other marine predators—vital to maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems—fell significantly near cities with more than 10,000 people and associated fishing boats.
The minimum distance from people and fishing which had no measurable effect was 1,250 kilometers. This is far further than previous studies have suggested and probably reflects the increased distances fishing boats can now travel. As a result, sharks were only observed at 12% of sites monitored.
Lead author Dr. Tom Letessier said, ''Human activity is now the biggest influence on sharks' distribution. Just 13% of the world's oceans can be considered 'wilderness' but sharks and other predators are much more common and significantly larger at distances greater than 1,250 kilometers from people. This suggests that large marine predators are generally unable to thrive near to people and is another clear example of the impact of human overuse on our seas. ''
To collect their data, the team analyzed videos taken at 1,041 sites across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, selected to test the biggest possible range of conditions and habitats. Sharks and other free-swimming predators were studied using cameras attached cannisters(炮筒)filled with bait. In total, the team recorded 23,200 animals representing 109 species. These included 841 individual sharks from 19 different species.
Dr. Letessier added, ''Our study also found that shallower water environment, of depths less than 500 meters, were vital for marine predator diversity. We therefore need to identify sites that are both shallow and remote and protect them. However, there are still numerous shallow hot spots near human markets that are not appropriately protected, and this must change. ''
12. According to the study, what happened to sharks and other marine predators
A. They became less important for keeping healthy ocean ecosystems.
B. They only lived near cities with 10,000 people.
C. They loved swimming after fishing boats.
D. Their average body size and number decreased sharply.
13. Which of the following statements may Dr. Tom Letessier agree with
A. Large marine predators can grow well near people.
B. People shouldn't disturb the sea and sea animals.
C. Sharks’ distribution was mainly affected by human activity.
D. Other ecological factors have no impact on sharks’ distribution.
14 What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4
A. Introduce a new topic for readers.
B. Introduce the study means used by the team.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D. Collect data about sharks and other predators.
15. What can we infer about the perfect environment for marine predator diversity
A. It should be deeper than 500 meters.
B. It should be spots that are hot enough.
C. It should be shallower and away from humans.
D. It should be spots changed from human markets.
