VOLUNTARY STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
There are over 600 different Voluntary Student Organizations (VSOs) at Stanford. VSOs are those organizations in which membership is both open and limited to current Stanford students, and whose purposes and procedures are consistent with the goals and standards of the University. Students make all organizational decisions. In order to use the Stanford name, or to receive funding, all voluntary student organizations must register with the University through the Office of Stanford Events.
As a condition of registration, each voluntary student organization must file and have approved each of the following:
● A statement (声明) of purpose and organizational constitution.
● A statement about membership qualifications.
● Clear procedures for officer elections.
● Identification of the authorized representatives of the group.
If a voluntary student organization seeks to use University facilities for meetings open to more than its own members, such meetings shall be subject to the regulations of the Committee on Public Events . All organization events held in University facilities must receive event approval from the Office of Student Activities. No student group may use University space or facilities or receive other University support for purposes of supporting candidates for public office. Groups may use public places such as White Plaza for speeches and similar activities held by the Student Committee; may have periodic use of on-campus meeting rooms; and may request to reserve auditoriums (礼堂) for public events as long as all University guidelines are followed.

Usain Bolt is a superstar in the world of sports. Due to his extraordinary and great skills, he has also claimed the title of “The Fastest Man Alive”. The Jamaican athlete was born on August 21, 1986, and his parents were grocers in Jamaica. Usain Bolt is known as the greatest sprinter (短跑运动员) of all time. This is mainly due to his performance in the Olympics, especially in the 100 and 200-meter races.
From early childhood, Bolt adored the world of sports and always wanted to be part of it. He used to excel in cricket (板球) and other sports when he was only a teenager and afterward he developed a deep affection for European football teams, namely — Manchester United and Real Madrid. He knew right then he belonged only in the field of sports.
Usain Bolt had humble beginnings. He started his legend as a talent at the 2002 Junior World Championship at the Kingston Stadium in Jamaica. In the race, Bolt won a gold medal, shocking an audience of 36,000 and making him the youngest junior champion. His road to fame started from there.
One of Usain Bolt’s greatest achievement is that he resisted his fears successfully. People said that very tall people couldn’t be good sprinters, but it was slammed when Bolt won various gold medals in the Olympics. Usain Bolt has many connections as he’s the brand ambassador of Xoom and Puma. Apart from these, many other brands work in partnership with him.
4. What is Bolt famous for
A. Jumping. B. Running. C. Football. D. Cricket.
5. How did Bolt rise to fame
A. He stood out in the Olympics. B. He won a gold medal in 2002.
C. He cooperated with many brands. D. He overcame his fears successfully.
6. What does the underlined word “slammed” in the last paragraph mean
A. Grasped. B. Criticized. C. Explored. D. Defined.
7. Which of the following can best describe Bolt
A. Talented and determined. B. Humble and fearful.
C. Honest and modest. D. Ambitious and generous.
C
Teachers are one of the professions least at risk of being automated. A job that requires emotional intelligence and flexibility — in adapting lesson plans on the fly to a particular group of children, for example — is not one particularly well-suited to robots.
Artificial intelligence (AI), however, still deserves a role in the classroom. This is not as a replacement for teachers, but as a tool or an assistant that can aid them both in trying to close the gap in achievement between the rich and the poor and in making up for lost teaching time, for instance.
The principle of machine learning is to enhance humans’ existing capacities. The best AI apps promise to improve teachers’ knowledge of what their students need, how best they deliver the teaching, and which students require the most help — from a human teacher — to keep up with their learning. Besides, poor and unequal schooling, leaving too many children behind, is one of the deepest roots of inequality and low productivity. If AI can help target existing teaching resources better, the benefits could be incalculable.
Therefore, smart policy is urgent. There must be a focus on the teaching philosophy behind the programs, as well as ensuring that any decisions made by machine learning are under human control. In education, choices made by AI could set a direction for the rest of a child’s life.
These may be common concerns about AI, but education is particularly sensitive — especially the ownership and control of any data generated through the platforms. Schools, too, will need to prevent teachers, who already have plenty of responsibilities, from also having to keep up to date with thousands of apps. AI belongs in the classroom only so long as it enhances the humankind.
8. What role should AI play in the classroom
A. An assistant to help teachers. B. An aid to punish students.
C. A machine to replace teachers. D. A tool to protect students.
9. Which is the benefit of using AI apps in teaching
A. It tells which teacher needs the most help.
B. It instructs teachers how to deliver speeches.
C. It provides ways for teachers to make money.
D. It helps balance the existing teaching resources.
10. What matters most in AI teaching
A. Improving the humankind.
B. Setting a direction for education.
C. Preventing teachers from using apps.
D. Producing data through online platforms.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Popularity of E-Teaching Apps
B. The Application and Flexibility of AI
C. Rules for Bringing AI into the Classroom
D. Approaches to Enhancing Teaching Online
D
Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness, according to a team of scientists.
The study is the first to assess how the environment can affect loneliness. It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling.
The research found that feelings of overcrowding increased loneliness by an average of 30%. But when people were able to see trees or hear birds, feelings of loneliness fell by 28%. Feelings of social inclusion also cut loneliness by 21% and when these feelings coincided (巧合) with contact with nature, the beneficial effect was boosted by a further 18%.
The findings pointed to interventions (干预) to reduce loneliness. The researchers said, “Specific measures that increase social inclusion and contact with nature should be taken, especially in thickly populated cities.” Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being (健康), with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least 185m a year in mental health costs, for example.
The research collected data from urban citizens across the world using the Urban Mind research app. More than 750 people provided 16600 of these assessments. The participants were self-selecting and so did not provide a representative sample of the wider populations. But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant. Johanna Gibbons, part of the research team, said, “Cities are probably the only habitat that is increasing at a high rate. So we should be creating urban habitats where people can thrive.”
12. How was the research conducted
A. By relying on people’s memory.
B. By surveying 750 urban participants.
C. By collecting data through a smartphone app.
D. By checking a worldwide representative sample.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Many big cities take the lead in the research.
B. Time spent indoors improves people’s well-being.
C. Woodland walks greatly reduce social contact with people.
D. Interventions to reduce loneliness benefit the UK financially.
14. What can be inferred about the research
A. It offers a wide range of samples globally.
B. The findings are remarkable in terms of statistics.
C. The carefully selected participants are reliable.
D. Many factors are considered except education.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. The problems of living in big cities.
B. Developing urban habitats at a high speed.
C. Research on how to get rid of loneliness in nature.
D. Reducing loneliness in cities through contact with nature.
2022届辽宁省丹东市高三总复习质量测试（一）英语试题（解析版）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Four Unusual Houses around the World
The Keret House (Poland)
You may know this structure as the world’s skinniest house since it measures only 122 centimeters at its widest point. The project started with an idea that architect Jakub Szczesny first presented at the World Architecture Festival in 2009. The house has no windows but is semi-transparent and has a white interior which allows it to feel a lot less tiny than you'd think.
The Tree Hotel (Sweden)
The structure is a cube-shaped building which wrapped around the trunk of a tall tree. Its exterior is coated with mirrored glass which allows it to perfectly blend in with its surroundings and to reflect the sky and the trees. The interior is made of plywood and offers 360 degrees of the landscape. To reach the entrance, one has to go across a rope bridge connected to the next tree.
Resident Church XL (The Netherlands)
The Saint Jakobus Church dating back to 1870 ceased to function as a church in 1991 and was later used as a showroom for events and furniture displays. Then, in 2007, Zecc Architects came with an idea. They wanted to transform the church into a residence and to bring this beautiful historical monument back to life. The idea was materialized two years later.
The Steel House (The US)
Robert Bruno worked on this amazing project until his death in 2008, handcrafting everything with no outside assistance. The house has a very unusual form which could be interpreted in a lot of different ways. Some think it resembles a UFO, others think it looks more like a massive insect and there are also those that compare it to a Star Wars AT-AT Walker.
1. Which of the four is the narrowest building
A. The Keret House. B. The Tree Hotel. C. Resident Church XL. D. The Steel House.
2. What did the Saint Jakobus Church function as in 2007
A. A church. B. A residence. C. A showroom. D. A shopping complex.
3. What can we learn about the house built by Robert Bruno
A It was completed in 2008. B. It was built by machines.
C. It has a distinctive shape. D. It has appeared in Star Wars.
B
The seeds of what we are meant to do may have been sown in our childhood. I grew up in Chennai, India in a home surrounded by books. I recall my mother telling me that when I was read to as a child, I knew exactly where one sentence ended and the next one began!
One book that had a significant impact on me as a child was called “31 Brothers and Sisters” that related the story of an African girl who goes on an elephant hunt, a traditionally male sport. What struck me was this girl was challenging traditional standards of behavior in a society that was not happy with women expressing independence—and the fact that this girl had black hair like me and was also dark-skinned.
I also had the opportunity to attend an unusual school that encouraged creative thinking. Here, I was encouraged by a few teachers who noticed my writing skills. However, English was actually my least favorite subject because we had to write on canned topics and there was no room for creativity.
I have written three books so far. My first book, “Climbing the Stairs” was inspired by my mother's experiences growing up as a teenager during the Second World War. The book deals with the struggles of a teenage girl at a time when women were treated as second-class citizens in society. My second book, “Island's End” is based on my own experiences as an oceanographer and working in the remote Andaman Islands, off the coast of India. “The Bridge Home” is a story of friendship among four street kids and loosely based on three kids I knew growing up. Each of the three books is inspired by my own experiences, what I have read and people around me.
My message to young writers is not to rush into writing or get too concerned with material rewards. In today's world, there's often too much of an emphasis on awards and honors, which no writer can control. Those are largely a matter of luck. Write for yourself and just enjoy the process.
4. What impressed the author in “31 Brothers and Sisters”
A. The African girl's respect for her cousins. B. The African girl's fight for independence.
C. The African girl's commitment to hunting. D. The African girl's concern about her appearance.
5. What does the underlined word “canned” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Imaginary. B. Fixed. C. Typical. D. Financial.
6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The plots of her books. B. The settings of her books.
C. The characters in her books. D. The inspiration for her books.
7. Where is the text most likely from
A. An autobiography. B. A fiction. C. A book review. D. A leaflet.
C
Earth’s great ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, are now losing mass six times faster than they were in the 1990s because of warming conditions. A complete review of satellite data acquired at both poles is apparent in its assessment of accelerating trends, say scientists. Between them, Greenland and Antarctica lost 6.4 trillion tons of ice in the period from 1992 to 2017.
This was sufficient to push up global sea-levels by 17.8mm.
“That’s not a good news story,” said Prof Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds in the UK. Today, the ice sheets contribute about a third of all sea-level rise, whereas in the 1990s, their contribution was actually pretty small at about 5%. This has important consequence for the future, such as coastal flooding and soil erosion,” he told BBC News.
It’s a team of experts who have reviewed polar measurements acquired by observational spacecraft over nearly three decades.
The key one is the recognition that ice losses are now running at the upper end of expectations when compared with the computer models used by the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In the IPCC’s 2014 assessment, its mid-range simulations (模拟器) suggested global sea-levels might rise by 53cm by 2100. But the team’s studies show that ice losses from Antarctica and Greenland are actually heading to much more pessimistic outcomes, and will likely add another 17cm to those end-of-century forecasts.
“If that holds true it would put 400 million people at risk of annual coastal flooding by 2100,” said Prof Shepherd. “What our latest estimates mean is that the period people are expecting will be shorter. Whatever town or coastal planning measures you’re intending to put in place, they need to be built sooner.”
Greenland and Antarctica are responding to climate change in slightly different ways. The southern polar ice sheet’s losses come from the melting effects of warmer ocean water attacking its edges. The northern polar ice sheet feels a similar sort of attack but is also experiencing surface melt from warmer air temperatures.
8. What was a cause of the rise of the sea level
A. Loss of ice sheets. B. Observation of the poles.
C. Measures of town planning. D. Influence of satellites.
9. What would be the significant result of the melting ice sheets for the future
A. Two thirds of all sea-level rise. B. A 17cm rise to the current sea level.
C. Floods and soil loss of the coastal areas. D. Simulations’ rise by 53cm by the year of 2100.
10. According to the last paragraph, what is one of the features of Greenland and Antarctica ice sheet loss
A. They respond to climate change entirely different.
B. They respond to climate change exactly the same.
C. Antarctica ice sheet experiences surface melt from warmer air.
D. Greenland ice sheet experiences melting effects of warmer ocean water.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Historical Stories of Ice Sheets B. The Benefits of Ice Sheets of Both Poles
C. Greenland and Antarctica Ice Loss Accelerating D. Annual Floods and Erosion Hitting Coastal Areas
D
The UK’s planned ban on sales of new petrol, diesel (柴油) or hybrid (混合动力) cars could start as early as 2032, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has said. Last week, the government raised industry concern after bringing the date forward from 2040 to 2035 in order to hit zero-carbon emission targets. But Mr. Shapps told BBC Radio 5 live it would happen by 2035, “or even 2032,” adding there would be consultation.
The main car trade body had previously said the 2035 figure was “concerning”.
The government is setting out its proposals in a United Nations climate summit in November. A Department for Transport spokesperson said, “We are consulting on a range of possible dates to bring forward the end to the sale of petrol and diesel cars.”
“The proposal for this is 2035—or earlier if a faster transition appears reasonable—as well as including hybrids for the first time.” The UK has set a target of emitting zero carbon by 2050. Experts warned that the original target date of 2040 would still leave old conventional cars on the roads 10 years later. Once the ban comes into effect, only electric cars will be available. Hybrid vehicles are now included in the proposals, which were originally announced in July 2017.
Despite this, Royal Automobile club spokesman Simon Williams said, “While the government appears to be constantly moving forward for ending the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, drivers should not be worried about choosing a hybrid car now.” “They are potentially the perfect stepping stone for those who want to go electric but have concerns about range (续航), as they aren’t as expensive as a battery electric vehicle. At the moment, they give drivers the best of both worlds.”
How attached are British people to their petrol vehicles How long until conventional cars go the way of steam engine cars and horse coaches
12. What is the car industry's attitude towards the ban on the sale of conventional cars
A. Ambiguous. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Approving.
13. Why does the UK propose to ban the sale of conventional cars before 2040
A. To remove the concern of main car trade body.
B. To hold back the development of pure battery electric cars.
C. To hold a United Nations climate summit in November.
D. To meet the zero carbon emission target as planned.
14 What is Simon's opinion when people face the ban of conventional cars
A. It's still a wise choice to choose a hybrid car nowadays.
B. Battery electric cars should be widely used immediately.
C Drivers should consider about range when choosing a car.
D. People should abandon petrol vehicles as soon as possible.
15. What can we infer about the conventional cars from the last paragraph
A. They will fall out of use some day. B. They are as important as horse coaches.
C. They will remain as a family necessity. D. They may increase your daily expenses.

After analyzing 14.5 billion words used in daily news coverage in 2021, The Oxford English Dictionary has chosen “vax” as the Word of the Year.
Oxford Languages, the publisher of the dictionary, reported that “Vax”, the shortened term for “vaccine”, has injected itself into the bloodstream of the English language, and is a catchy and punchy word for 2021.
A contributing factor to its rise in 2021— aside from its obvious relation to the COVID vaccine drive— is its adaptability, according to Fiona McPherson, a senior editor of The Oxford English Dictionary. It can mean either vaccine or vaccination as a noun and vaccinate as a verb, and it is the root of many other phrases such as “vax cards”, “vax passports”, and “getting vaxxied”. The word has also been changed into other inventive words like vaxxie, a selfie taken during or immediately before or after one’s vaccination. “It has made the most striking impact,” said Fiona MePherson.
Vax and vaxx are both accepted spellings, but the form with one x is more common. It was first recorded in English in 1799, while its derivatives (衍生词) “vaccinate” and “vaccination” both first appeared in 1800. All of these words ultimately came from the Latin word “vacca”, which means “cow”. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, this is due to English physician and scientist Edward Jenner’s pioneering work on vaccination against smallpox in the late 1790s and early 1800s.
“The word’s highest frequency in usage caught our attention first. Then we ran the analysis and a story started to emerge, revealing how ‘vax’ sat at the centre of our preoccupations this year,” Casper Grathwohl, the president of Oxford Languages, said in an interview. “No word better captures the atmosphere of the year than ‘vax’”
4. Which of the following best describes the word vax
A. Fixed. B. Complex. C. Adaptable. D. Boring.
5. What is the origin of the word vax
A. Edward Jenner’s pioneering work. B. The Latin word vacca.
C. The Latin word cow. D. The Oxford English Dictionary.
6. Why is vax chosen as the Word of the Year
A. It is from The Oxford English Dictionary.
B. It is accepted by Oxford Languages.
C. It appears most frequently in news.
D. It is reporters’ favorite word.
7. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Choosing vax as the Word of 2021.
B. Making vax changeable.
C. Researching the origin of vax.
D. Analyzing vax in The Oxford English Dictionary.

The history of microbiology begins with a Dutch cloth maker named Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, a man of no formal scientific education. In the late 1600s, Leeuwenhoek, inspired by the magnifying lenses he used to examine cloth, built some of the first microscopes. He developed a technique to improve the quality of tiny, rounded lenses, some of which could magnify an object up to 270 times. After removing some plaque from between his teeth and examining it under a lens, Leeuwenhoek found tiny twisting creatures, which he called “animalcules”.
His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of microbes, Leeuwenhoek discovered an entire universe invisible to the human eye. He found different microbes in samples of pond water, rain water, and human blood. He gave the first description of red blood cells, observed plant tissue, examined muscle, and investigated the life cycle of insects.
Nearly two hundred years later, Leeuwenhoek's discovery of microbes helped French chemist and biologist Louis Pasteur to develop his “theory of disease”. This concept suggested that disease originates from tiny organisms attacking and weakening the body. Pasteur’s theory later helped doctors to fight infectious diseases including anthrax, diphtheria, polio, smallpox, tetanus, and typhoid. All these breakthroughs were the result of Leeuwenhoek's original work. Leeuwenhoek did not foresee this legacy.
In a 1716 letter, he described his contribution to science this way: “My work, which I’ve done for a long time, was not pursued in order to gain the praise I now enjoy, but chiefly from a strong desire for knowledge, which I notice resides in me more than in most other men. And therefore, whenever I found out anything remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that the scientific community might be informed thereof.”
8. Which of the following best describes Leeuwenhoek
A. A trained researcher with an interest in microbiology.
B. A curious amateur who made pioneer studies of microbes.
C. A talented scientist interested in finding a cure for disease.
D. A bored cloth maker who accidentally made a major discovery.
9. The underlined phrase “this legacy” in paragraph 3 refers to_______.
A. the discovery of microbes. B. Pasteur's theory of disease.
C. Leeuwenhoek's contribution. D. the origin of the tiny organism.
10. What does the quote from Leeuwenhoek's letter suggest
A. He admitted that many of his discoveries happened by chance.
B. He considered his work to be central to later medical breakthroughs.
C. He was greatly concerned with improving people’s living conditions.
D. He believed the sharing of knowledge was a key to scientific progress
11. What is the correct order for the following events
a. Magnifying lenses were built.
b. The “theory of disease” was put forward.
c. Microbes were discovered in samples of waters.
d Leeuwenhoek's first microscopes were successfully developed.
e. Leeuwenhoek explained his thoughts upon his own contribution.
A. a-d-c-e-b. B. d-a-c-e-b. C. a-d-c-b-e. D. d-a-e-b-c.

Batman may not have any superpowers, but his inspiration certainly does.
More than 1,400 bat species live around the world, except in Antarctica and a few remote islands. Over their 50 million years of evolution, bats have developed clever solutions to life’s challenges, from a built-in sonar (声呐) system for finding food to fast, flexible wings that produce the fastest level-flight speed of any animal on Earth.
“There is still a lot to learn, but it is clear that bats really do have superpowers,” says Rodrigo Medellín, an ecologist. “Bats are showing us how to live a better life, for instance, by serving as models for healthy living and long lives.”
As a general rule in biology, smaller animals have shorter lives than larger ones. But bats are rule breakers: they’re the longest-lived mammals (哺乳动物) relative to their body size. Recently, scientists looked inside bats’ cells for the secrets to their exceptionally long lives. They focused on telomeres (端粒), which are the protective structures found at the ends of chromosomes (染色体). In most animals, telomeres tend to get shorter with age. But the telomeres of the longest-lived group of bats, Myotis, do not appear to shrink (收缩) with age. Understanding why bats live so long may help humans live longer one day.
In addition to living longer, bats remain healthy throughout their lives, with very low risk of developing cancer. Furthermore, bats can carry deadly viruses without getting sick. So further research into their unique immune (免疫的) systems may actually give insight into how people can live with viruses and not get sick.
Beyond their own abilities, bats also support many other parts of their ecosystems. Three out of every four bat species eat insects. Many are pests that cause damage to important agricultural crops, such as cotton. Scientists estimate that insect-eating bats may save U.S. farmers about 1 billion per year. In addition, many bat species help improve plant health and diversity.
“Bats are unsung heroes of biodiversity,” says Medellín. “It’s about time we appreciated them.”
12. What can be learned about bats from the text
A. They fly the fastest of all land animals.
B. They are at low risk of falling sick with a virus.
C. They live mainly on the islands of Antarctica.
D. They are the longest-lived animals given their size.
13. What did scientists recently find
A. Animals’ telomeres rarely shrink with age.
B. Myotis’s telomeres do not shorten as they age.
C. Smaller animals usually live shorter lives than larger ones.
D. More research into bat telomeres could help people live more healthily.
14. What is the author’s intention in writing the last paragraph but one
A. To show what bats feed on.
B. To call on people to protect bats.
C. To explain how bats benefit the farmers.
D. To highlight the importance of bats to the ecosystem.
15. What would be a suitable title for this text
A. Bats Offer Clues to Treating Diseases
B. How Bats Deal with Life’s Challenges
C. Scientists Unlock the Secrets to Long Lives
D. Why Bats Are Superheroes of the Animal World

On December 23, 2019, a Texas couple and their 12-year-old daughter delivering furniture in a rental truck got trapped in the San Juan National Forest in Colorado. After not being able to free the truck, they spent the evening in the truck, leaving the vehicle on and wrapping up in moving blankets to keep warm. In the morning, they wrapped plastic around their feet and chose to walk out to safety. Thanks to the concern of a family member, local authorities were contacted. The couple was spotted by a member of the Sheriff's Department flying in his private plane.
This couple was making a quick run to deliver some furniture before the Christmas holiday. They were not thinking that they were putting themselves in a life-or-death situation.

Finger painting is an art that most people have experienced in childhood. But there are still people who know little about this art form. Finger painting is a simple activity that involves dipping（浸；蘸）fingers in paints and then using fingers to create objects and shapes on a piece of paper. All you need is a table at elbow height, a few sheets of plain paper, and a few bottles of watercolor.
When engaging kids in this activity， one should use non-toxic （无毒的）paints only. If not available in the market readily, non-toxic paints can be made at home easily. Preferably, the paints should also be eatable. Finger paints come in bright colors and can be purchased relatively inexpensively. Adults can save money by making their own finger paints using a mixture of cornstarch, food coloring and water.
It is a common fallacy that finger painting is for children alone; rather it's an activity that can be enjoyed by adults in equal measure. Adults can use rubber gloves while painting to avoid dirty marks of paints on their hands. When a group of people are gathered for an exercise of finger painting, it can be a great way of creating a bond between the group. Art and painting parties are a popular concept in the West. Organizations can also use finger painting as a team-building activity by making participants paint together on a large canvas （画布）.
There's no limit to the expression of feelings in finger painting. All one needs to do is go all out and put all their feelings on a piece of paper by dipping their fingers in paints. While painting, one may unconsciously choose colors that reflect their emotions. For example, you may choose the color red to express your anger or green to express hope. At times you may be confused, and the painting will help you describe your confused state of mind. Once you get your emotions on paper, you are likely to feel relieved.
So what are you waiting for Plan a finger-painting session soon, and experience the joy.
28. What can we know about finger painting

Scientists recently have discovered a new species of bat that has bright orange fur and black wings. They later named it Myotis nimbaensis in the journal American Museum Novitates.
Jon Flanders, who works at Bat Conservation International (BCI), was leading a team with eight other researchers in the Nimba Mountains in Guinea where they found the orange bat. Many bats live in the mountains＇ old mineshafts（井筒）that are now unsafe to enter，so researchers placed nets at the entrances to trap bats while they flew. One night in January 2018, a brightly colored bat standing out among its dark-furred neighbors was also caught in the net.
“The color is just unusual. Its wings are black with orange fur. There aren't a lot of orange bats in the world. I don't tend to work with that many brightly colored bats. It's definitely an unusual one for me, ” Flanders says.
There are about 1, 400 bat species in the world, including a few orange ones in China and South America-far from Myotis nimbaensis's home in West Africa. For the past several years, more than 20 new bat species have been added to the list. However, those discoveries usually come about when scientists tease（梳理）apart the small genetic and physical differences between nearly the same species.
“Experienced researchers went out in the field, caught an animal, and said, ‘This is something we can't identify. ' That's much more unusual. ” says Nancy Simmons, the American Museum of Natural History's director of mammals.
To make sure that they had found something new，the team recaptured（重新捕获）the first bat they had found and compared it with specimens（标本） of other species. After doing some research, the team concluded that the new species of bat is at least five percent different than the closest related species, reports The Times.
Next, the scientists hope to study more about Myotis nimbaensis's ecology-where it lives, what it eats, and what it needs in a habitat.
32. What did the researchers do after arriving at the mineshafts
A. They entered them for further observation.
B. They caught some bats with a big net.
C. They reported their newly found bat caves.
D. They made sounds to drive the bats away.
33. What can we know about the over 20 new bat species found previously
A. They are commonly seen.
B. They are different in colors.
C. They live in West Africa.
D. They share similar genes.
34. Why did the researchers recapture the first bat they had found
A. To attract more such bats.
B. To make a specimen.
C. To identify its species.
D. To keep it in their lab.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. An unusual adventure in Guinea
B. Different bat species worldwide
C. A newly discovered bat species
D. Bats living in old mineshafts

Traveling alone can be daunting (令人畏缩的). I have traveled by myself many times but, on every occasion, there was someone to meet me at the other end of the bus, train or plane journey. This time was different.
Last week I had a holiday from work, but none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved a bed in a hostel for one week.
One week by myself. Would I be lonely Would I be bored Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits that come from traveling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums that would have seemed boring and dull to some of my friends. I walked all around the city which some people may have found too exhausting (令人疲惫的). Instead relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do,
I discovered my independence and developed map-reading skills that I didn’t know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didn’t have to wait for anyone else to shower and get ready every morning. Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can combat loneliness.
In spite of the benefits, I found that there were also some disadvantages of traveling alone. I missed having someone to talk to and to bounce (探讨) ideas off. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards. Without a travel partner, I won’t be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure with a friend or family member in years to come.
In addition, eating in a restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own.
I am very proud of myself for traveling alone, and I had a fantastic time in Toronto. However, in the future, I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or in a small group. Though, maybe it depends who you travel with—I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative (好争论的).

Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.
The Sanxingdui ruins, located in the city of Guanghan, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.
The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba (木棉) tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学家), stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile (易碎的) as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to manage.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Maya world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.
28. What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization
A. Their starting time.
B. Their historical origins.
C. Their cultural symbols.
D. Their ceremony traditions.
29. What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins

A. The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B. The benefits of speaking a different language.
C. The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.

31. Where is this text most likely from
A. A historical novel. B. A newspaper.

If you were to rate the most walkable cities in the world, what would you look for Would it be how shaded the sidewalks are How many benches there are along the way to your destination Or maybe how close you are to shops or local attractions
Well, the researchers at the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), located in New York, US, wanted to know which of the world’s cities were the best for pedestrians (行人). So, they did just that.
To determine which cities were the most walkable, they rated cities based on factors such as how close citizens were to car-free areas like public parks, how close citizens lived in relation to schools and hospitals, and how short their journeys were overall.
According to the study, they found that the most walkable cities in the world are London, Paris, Bogota and Hong Kong. Overall, London was at the top of the list, outranking (超过) nearly 1,000 cities around the world on these key factors.
“In order to provide safety and inviting walking conditions for all city residents, it is essential to shift the balance of space in our cities away from cars, providing more travel options for people,” CEO of ITDP Heather Thompson told the magazine Cities Today. She continued, “We have so much to gain—from cleaner air to better health to stronger local economies and deeper bonds within communities, and we all need that now more than ever.”
Unfortunately, it seems that very few cities make pedestrians a priority, though.
“Our city streets across the planet are already full of cars. If you really want to see the worst for walkability, it is the really sprawling (杂乱无序伸展的) cities of the US,” commented Taylor Reich, a research associate at ITDP and the primary author of the guide to making cities more walkable.
So, what can cities do to make their streets friendlier for pedestrians
“There’s no one secret sauce; there’s no one thing you can do to make a city walkable,” Reich said. “It’s many decisions that are made at all levels from individual streets all the way up to the city design.”
32. What’s the purpose of the study
A. To call on cities to make streets more walkable.
B. To find out the most walkable cities around the world.
C. To investigate pedestrians’ satisfaction with city life.
D. To explore factors impacting the walkability of cities.
33. On what basis do researchers measure a city’s walkability
A. The amount of green space on sidewalks.
B. Traffic and road conditions for pedestrians.
C. The number of public services for pedestrians.
D. Accessibility of certain destinations to pedestrians.
34. What does Heather Thompson suggest to improve walking conditions
A. Increasing travel choices. B. Developing local economies.
C. Limiting the number of cars. D. Connecting local communities.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Cars are major contributors to reduced walkability.
B. US cities are designed to give priority to pedestrians.
C. It is everyone’s responsibility to make a city walkable.
D. Both small-and large-scale measures are required to improve walkability.

I was sitting at my desk when another grade student in my lab approached me to ask my help with his experiment. I was then a fifth year PhD student, the respected senior member of the lab. But that also meant I was the one everyone turned to for help, which cost much time I could have spent on my own research.
There were many reasons I had a hard time saying no to such pleas （恳求）. I was new to the United States for graduate school. I found it difficult to make new friends and discover activities I enjoyed,and I feared that if I brushed them off, I’d lose their favor.
I didn’t realize the extra responsibilities came at a cost until my wife gave birth to our first child. I often made sacrifices to my personal life. While she lay in a hospital bed, I sat nearby hunched（伏首前倾的）over my laptop finishing up a work report. Hours later, my daughter’s first cry dawned on me:I should have been fully present during my daughter’s birth. I was clearly spending too much time working.
From then on, I decided to spend more time with my family by paring down my work tasks and carefully considering each request for help. I balanced others’ requests for help and my own tasks. I noticed many benefits: no longer working overtime, more family time, and improved work performance.
It’s hard to say “no” to those you work with. But I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best course of action to avoid a tall workload and lead a freer and happier life.
24. Why did he find it difficult to refuse his lab-mates
A. He wanted to earn their respect.
B. He was afraid to be left out by them.
C. He was the senior member of the lab.

Gayle Bennett is the founder of online vintage （古董衫） shop Soul and Flare. One of the biggest aims of her company is to get rid of fashion waste by encouraging others to shop vintage and look after the clothes they already own.
Some of the vintage clothes have been worn on and off for up to 70 years-something of a miracle and testament（证明）to their quality as well as how they’re looked after， she says.
For some,buying vintage is a new experience,but Bennett has been learning her trade for a long time. She really knows what she’s talking about.
“I’ve been running Soul and Flare for around five years but have been in the vintage trade for more than a decade. I fell into it in many ways but, growing up, my mom would drag us around charity shops and car boot sales （后备箱集市）. In her own way，she was sustainable even if she didn’t know what the word meant then. When I left college, I got a job at a vintage clothing shop. That’s when I started witnessing the vast amounts of clothing wasted in the UK, and my passion for reviving, repairing and making clothing last began.
“In the past, charity shops were there to help poor families, so you didn’t want to go there. But now people love going to charity shops,”Bennett says. The joy of going to charity shops is in the looking. “Around 90 percent of the time you’re going to be wearing something unique. ” And that’s something every fashionist wants whether they’re wearing it to a wedding, or for a Zoom party.
28. What was Bennett’s purpose of establishing Soul and Flare
A. To make fashion sustainable. B. To lead the fashion trend.
C. To promote worn-out clothing. D. To improve people’s fashion sense.
29. What do we know about the vintage clothes from Soul and Flare
A. They are expensive. B. They’re of low quality.
C. They are well preserved. D. They are from charity shops.
30. What inspired Bennett to start her business
A. Her mother’s encouragement. B. Her familiarity with the trade.
C. Her love for fashion design. D. Her knowledge of fashion waste.
31. Why do people love charity shops now according to Bennett
A. They can save a lot of money. B. They’re influenced by fashionists.
C. They want to give to charity. D. They can get something special there.

Since pre-industrial times, the world’s oceans have warmed by an average of 1 degree Celsius. Now researchers report that those rising temperatures have led to widespread changes in the population size of marine（海洋的）species.
A new study from the University of Bristol,UK, aims to find out how climate change is impacting the distribution,population and seasonality of marine species.
The study’s senior author,Martin Genner, an evolutionary ecologist, said: “We found the same trend across all groups of marine life we looked at， from plankton（浮游生物）to marine invertebrates（无脊椎动物），and from fish to seabirds. ”
Based on these findings,researchers reasoned that marine species should be doing well at the leading edge of their ranges but poorly at their trailing side.
The study found that 304 widely distributed marine species over the last century were indeed more abundant（大量的）at the poleward ends of their sample range. This suggests that marine species haven’t managed to adapt to warmer conditions. They may continue to move poleward as sea temperatures increase further,impactiing the livelihood of equatorward coastal towns.
“This matters because it means that climate change is not only leading to abundance changes,but affects the performance of species locally,” Genner said. “While some marine life may benefit as the ocean warms,we will also see continued loss of marine in the near future. ”
The researchers said that more work is needed to understand how climate change has affected marine life in all regions of the world in greater detail. Genner questioned, “Is this mainly related to the physiological（生理的）limits of the species, or instead due to changes in the species with which they interact ”
32. What does the new study from the University of Bristol try to discover
A. How many marine species the climate change influences.
B. Directions in which marine species move in different seasons.
C. How the climate change affects the population of marine species.
D. Similarities between certain species affected by the climate change.
33. What did the study find
A. There are new marine species in the poles.
B. At least 304 marine species were less widely distributed.
C. There is a sharp decline in the number of marine species.
D. The abundance of many marine species increased on poleward sides.
34. What does the finding suggest
A. Climate change can make the coast inhabitable.
B. Marine species haven’t adjusted to warmer temperatures.
C. Marine species may continue to move toward the equator.
D. Ocean warming improves the environment for marine species.
35. According to the text, what should future research focus on
A. The interaction among marine species.
B. The physiological limits of marine species.
C. The other possible factors behind this trend.
D. The changes in the performance of local species.
