The guide to Bakken
The relatively small, classic park, located just outside Copenhagen, has the usual variety of attractions, including roller coasters, a carousel, and spinning rides. Perhaps the high light of Bakken is its wooden roller coaster, one of its oldest rides, Rutschebanen. At 72 feet, the wooden roller coaster dominates the skyline and encircles the park. It reaches a top speed of 34 mph.
Other roller coasters, all of which are steel, include Tornado, which features spinning cars; Vilde Mus, a Wild Mouse-style ride that includes abrupt turns;Mine Train Ulven, a family roller coaster that hits a top speed of 40 mph;and Mariehonen, a kid roller coaster.
Thrill-seekers and children would be delighted by Bakkek. But adults who prefer not to be tossed and turned would still find enjoyable diversions, including pubs and bars.
Getting to and visiting Bakken
Bakken is located about 7. 5 miles from Copenhagen. It is a pleasant bicycle ride from the city. and the park has many bike racks available.

Hands up, who’s rubbish at drawing Ha!Bet you’re not as bad as me.
Like most during lockdown, I missedbeing in familiar green city spaces. A quick snap on my phone never quite captured the moment. So excitingly, I found “green sketching” sessions near my home.
This type of art, “green sketching”, was inspired by environmental scientist Dr Ali Foxon. Ali thought that spreading the joy of sketching could be the key to making people care about nature instead of just wordy reports. She launched her movement, Boggy Doodles, in 2016,
The day we were there the forest was glorious. We spent the last hour trying to capture a forest scene I made a real effort to catch the dark and brighter areas of the trunks, their textures. I used an eraser to create the white shape of a silver tree in the distance. Mine looked more like a winter scene. But. when the five of us brought our work together at the end, I wasn’t too ashamed: mine was only just the worst.
At the prospect of a new lock down, I can’t be the only one to feel sad. Sketching calm a busy, anxious mind and trains the brain to notice “little things” that spark joy and help strengthen us against life’s challenges. While engaging with nature may well make us keener on protecting it-in Robert Macfarlane’s words, “We will not save what we do not love--and we rarely love what we cannot name or do not see”--the benefits of sketching work the other way round.
24. Why would the author be a member of the “green sketching”
A. She was eager to return to green spaces.
B. She followed her friends’ advice to do so.
C. She wanted to improve her painting skills.
D. She needed something special to kill time.
25. What is the purpose of the “green sketching” activity
A. To let participants learn a skill.
B. To help participants to write a report.
C. To introduce people to a relaxing activity.
D. To raise the awareness of protecting nature.
26. What does the underlined word “spark” in Paragragh 5 probably mean
A. Arouse B. Release. C. Decline. D. Prevent.
27. What do Robert’s words convey
A. Sketching can strengthen one’s creativity.
B. A calm mind overcomes challenges in life.
C. Doing things we love brings us happiness.
D. To protect nature is to connect with it first.
C
Did you know chimpanzees have excellent mathematical and art skills Or that electronic dance music can reduce the appetite of mosquitoes These were just two of the 10 studies a- warded at this year’s Pineapple Science Award ceremony on Nov 13 in Wenzhou.
For 10 years, China’s equivalent(等同物)of the Ig Nobel Prize has explored and recognized the fun side of science and encouraged curiosity-driven scientific research, Xinhua reported. Factually, all entries must have been published in recognized academic journals or presented at conferences.
“Being interesting is one of the most important standards for the prize, ”said Wang Ya mi, chief planner of the Pineapple Science Award. “At the same time, the award-winning projects are also serious scientific studies. ”
We all know chimpanzees can be quite clever, but we probably don’t think they could defeat university students or master street art. A study by researchers from Kyoto University was the winner of this year’s award for mathematics and art. Using their chimpanzee Abu and a control group of university students, the researchers found Abu could remember
random numbers both more quickly and more accurately than the students. Additionally, Wang said some chimpanzees demonstrated their ability to connect the real three-dimensional( 三 维 的 )world with the two-dimensional world on paper, reflecting a huge leap in the brain,
The prize for medicine went to the University of Malaysia Sarawak and a mosquito re search and control unit of Grand Cayman. Their collaborative research showed the next time mosquitoes are bothering you. you may want to turn up the stereo. Their experiments used mosquitoes and a hamster(仓鼠). Consequently, mosquitoes exposed to electronic dance music wait longer to bite the hamster than those that are not.
“These awards help the younger generation be interested in science and improve their scientific literacy” said Li Ruihong.
28. What did researchers find out about chimpanzees
A. They can perform as well as humans i drawing.
B. They memorize random numbers better than humans.
C. They are certainly much better at math than humans.
D. They can master art skills much faster than humans.
29. How does electronic dance music affect mosquitoes
A. By making mosquitoes take a bite at once.
B. By helping mosquitoes to become more active.
C. By making mosquitoes wait longer to take a bite.
D. By helping mosquitoes bite more than ever before.

B. It inspires the new generations of curious minds.
C. It’s all about some funny business in people’s life.
D. It contributes to the animal science to a high level.

Living robots can reproduce on their own in a dish. The study was published in the National Academy of Sciences.
Xenobots, a type of tiny robot were first created in 2020, using cells taken from the embryo(胚胎) of an African droy species. Under the right lab conditions, the cells formed small structures that could fit together automatically, move in groups and react to their environment. Now, the researchers have found that xenobots can also self-copy.
Are they living organisms or robots They are organisms because they are made of stem cells and can reproduce. But they are also robots because they can move on their own and perform physical labor, co-author Sam Kriegman told The Washington Post.
“People have thought for quite a long time that we’ve worked out all the ways that life can reproduce. But this is something that’s never been observed before, ”co-author Douglas Blackiston told Science Daily website.
The ability to copy adds a new layer of potential quality to the robots. Kriegman told The Washington Post that while xenobots are not yet commercially useful, they have the potential to provide a number of services, from cleaning up microplastics in the ocean to safely delivering drugs to a specific spot in a person’s body.
However, the creation of xenobots comes with concerns. Something more advanced future xenobots could out-compete other species, according to . The Conversation Researchers think these risks are manageable. “The amount of sodium in the water too high or too low, they’ll die, ”Kriegman said. “A piece of copper in the dish, they’ll all die. It’s an extremely controllable and stoppable and safe system. ”
32. What do we know about xenobots
A. They are able to self-copy under natural conditions.
B. They are quickly formed from the stem cells of a sheep.
C. They are much more like robots than any other organism.
D. they can move independently and perform physical labor
33. Which might be potential use of xenobots in the future
A. Reducing and recycling the waste
B Delivering some food to the patients
C. Carrying medicine inside human bodies.
D. Getting rid of the viruses in human bodies.
34. What’s the researchers’ attitude toward the potential risks of xenobots
A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.
35. What would be the best title of the text
A. Are Xenobots Alive
B. Achievements in Robots.
C. Developments in Robots
D. Xenobots, Advanced or not

During his second year in college, Ben took a few business classes. They got his head spinning with ideas to start his own business. He started by thinking about things he liked. First, it was clothing. Then coffee. He thought about opening up a coffee shop. But both ideas seemed too hard and costly.
Some might give up right there and keep going about their regular life. But Ben is different. He kept thinking and came up with the idea of selling his own brand of coffee. He felt like there was potential to do this without too much money or risk. He didn't give up. So he took to the Internet and started doing research. He eventually found a coffee bean supplier. He learned about all of the legal affairs of starting a business. It all seemed daunting（令人气馁的）but he stuck to it.
After setting up his business and starting to order coffee he began testing different versions with his friends and family. He got feedback and improved his product. He appropriately named his company Clouds Coffee Company. He had a little bit of savings from his birthdays but that was far away from starting a business. So, he traded with an advertising designer to help him with his naming, logo, product pictures, photography, and website design. In return, he would supply him with coffee in exchange for his design talent!"

Job interviews are rarely fun, especially when you are young, about which I have deep feelings. I will never forget the opening question in my first interview for the Financial Times:"So, apart from the week before your interview, do you ever actually read the FT "
Young jobseekers today face a different but no less difficult challenge. They find themselves smiling anxiously into their laptop cameras, answering questions as a timer ticks down with no human to interact with at all, which is equally boring.
Large employers are using these "asynchronous（异步的） video interviews" （AVIs）to narrow down job applicants to a smaller pool they can meet in person. Platforms such as HireVue and Modern Hire record applicants answering pre-determined questions, usually with a time limit for each answer. In some cases, the recordings will be watched by the employer's hiring managers. In others, the platform's algorithms（算法） will assess the candidates based on what they said or even their facial expressions.
These interviews can be done cheaply and massively; one grocery chain in the US was gathering as many as 15, 000 per day during the pandemic, according to HireVue. The platforms say the process is fairer than human recruiters（招聘人员）, leading to better and more diverse candidates making the cut.
But employers need to pay more attention to how the process affects potential employees. Researchers at the University of Sussex Business School, in association with the Institute for Employment Studies, have warned that young jobseekers feel confused and exhausted by automated recruitment systems.
Employers suffer the loss too. AVIs select for people who can talk into air, not people who can interact well with others, though the latter is more important in most jobs. What's more, an interview is a company's first real interaction with potential employees, some of whom it will want to hire. It should be a chance for both sides to learn about each other.
28. Why does the author mention his first job interview experience
A. To make young jobseekers confident.
B. To show the boredom of job interviews.
C. To indicate the difficulty in job seeking.
D. To prove that he was superior to others.
29. What's paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The use of AVs. B. The advantages of AVIs.
C. Introduction to brand platforms. D. Roles of AVIs and hiring managers.
30. What does the underlined phrase "making the cut" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Going backdoor. B. Spending less. C. Being chosen. D. Being interviewed.
31. What's the author's attitude towards AVIs
A. Disgusted. B. Tolerant. C. Supportive. D. Cautious.
D
There's nothing better than a walk in the countryside for refreshing ourselves. Connecting with wooded nature has been proven to help our mental and physical health. For some, the best thing is to wander through a forest, but as we admire the trees that surround us, it's worth knowing these trees are doing more than just being nice things to look at.
We're also aware of trees' functions of improving environment—they produce oxygen and clean the air we breathe by absorbing about a quarter of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions（排放）. Deforestation isn't helping with this, which is why so many people want to save them. But there's more to these impressive forms of plants than we might think. Researchers have discovered evidence that proves they are actually intelligent.
It's thought that trees talk and share resources right under our feet, using a fungal（真菌的） network. Under the ground are tree roots, and mixed among them, along with bacteria, are thousands of superfine threads of fungi, known as hyphae. And research has shown that they are all interconnected. They can help each other by sharing nutrients, and they can even warn of approaching dangers. Scientists say it's like the trees are talking to one another.
Ecologist Suzanne Simard has called this network the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that parent trees use this network to help their seedlings（幼苗）. "We found that the parent trees would favour their own seedlings versus the strangers, by sending them more nutrients, "she spoke to the BBC. She also found that trees are smart enough to change their behaviour and have managed to adapt and survive in a changing environment.
So it seems trees really are the stars of our natural world, and with a huge number of them on our planet, it's time to show them some respect if we want them to boom.
32. In what aspects do trees benefit us according to the text
A. Intelligence and education. B. Health and environment.
C. Working and living conditions. D. Tourism and construction.
33. What plays a key role in trees' communication
A. Interconnection of fungi threads. B. Waving of tree leaves.
C. Mixing of roots. D. Combination of bacteria.
34. What can we know about parent trees according to Suzanne Simard
A. They send nutrients to their own seedlings only.
B. They help their seedlings to compete with others.
C. They also feed seedlings that are not their own.
D. They build the network to raise the young all day.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Stars of Our Planet B. Unknown Benefits of Trees
C. Survival of the Fittest D. Lovely Smart Trees

Drivers slowed down to admire what I was doing. “Good work, love,” one man yelled out. It was the start of the state’s first lockdown and I used my spare time to paint murals (壁画).
I’d chosen sunflowers as my subject. “They’re bright, colorful but best of all, they turn their face to the sun,” I told people. It was a fitting reminder that as much of the world faced uncertainty over this pandemic we mustn’t give up hope, either. And my colorful creations soon started turning heads.
“I want one,” people told me, inviting me to their local laneway. Several business owners also got in touch hoping I could revive their property.
I paid for all the paints myself but soon I started finding bunches of sunflowers with thank you notes from complete strangers on my doorstep. Honestly, making money was never my intention. I just wanted to bring the community together.
Soon, people from across the city were hanging out in my suburb wanting selfies(自拍) with the sunflowers. Before long, I attracted some die-hard fans.
One of my most moving experiences was when I was approached by friends of a woman whose son had recently passed away.“Would you paint her a mural as a surprise ” they asked. For me, there was no question. And when the woman returned to see the transformation outside her home, she was moved to tears. “It’s the most beautiful thing,” she choked.
People from all over my country have since contacted me wanting my work, and while I’d love to add more sunflowers across the country, it’s great to know that I found a way of brightening up my town in the dark times.

Time was, being called “nerd (书呆子)” was a bad thing.
That is happily different now, says Sarah Jane, director at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, which is home to the exhibit “Obsessed: The Art of Nerd-dom” through March 15. “I think the majority of my friends are nerdier than I am,” she said, “and I mean that in a ‘my friends are cooler than I am’ kind of way.”
Jane said the rise of the Internet certainly helped blossom, connecting people with common interests across geographies. Now, it’s almost mainstream—exhibitions of nerd culture fill convention halls, comic book superheroes and science fiction stories are the focus of blockbuster movies, and more.
“It has made being a nerd less of an isolating experience, and more of a community experience because you’re connecting with other people who have that shared interest,” she said.
Holladay, the co-curator (副馆长), spoke up in a meeting about what the coming exhibition season would look like.“I knew of another nerdy exhibition that had happened in LA recently... and I just thought ‘you know, I bet there are nerdy artists on the (Olympic) Peninsula and in Washington who have really quality work, where the subject matter might not fit into most exhibits’,” she said.
And she wasn’t surprised when they received plenty of recommendations.“My theory was that nerds are everywhere,” she said. “Once I got in touch with the right people, everyone was coming out of the woodwork.”
The exhibit features comic art, and things like Pokemon cards arranged in a collage (拼贴画). One work invites viewers to imagine the unique talents and abilities they have as superpowers they bring to the world. Holladay says the evolution of the idea of nerd culture has been positive over the past several years.
28. What is Sarah Jane’s attitude towards “nerds”
A. Neutral. B. Critical. C. Appreciative. D. Uncaring.
29. Which of the following contributes most to the popularity of nerd culture

D. The Internet connecting people with shared interests.
30. What does the underlined expression “coming out of the woodwork”
A. Springing out. B. Getting out of the woods.
C. Rushing outside. D. Expecting high quality of work.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. The exhibition shows how being a “nerd” becomes good.
B. The nerd culture is always evolving positively.
C. Many unusual exhibitions are scheduled.
D. Another different culture appears recently.

SpaceX, a private company, has put 60 Starlink communication satellites into orbit, bringing the total circling Earth to 180. They will bring internet access to underserved areas of the world. But it seems they also mess with telescopes.
When the satellites pass through a telescope’s field of view, they create bright streaks(条痕) that cut through images of the sky, hiding anything that might be behind them and pouring so much light into the telescope that it causes some observations unusable.
“What surprised everyone - the astronomy community and SpaceX - was how bright the satellites are”, said anxiously space experts. Actually SpaceX did talk about the issue elsewhere. The problem for astronomers doesn’t end with SpaceX. Blue Origin, One Web and Amazon plan to launch thousands of communications satellites in the coming years.
In an effort to ease astronomers’ fears, SpaceX is testing one satellite that is a bit different from the others. It was included in the most recent launch and is partially coated in a dark material to make it less shiny and so less visible in telescope images. We don’t have any data yet on whether the coating is working as intended.
Once the satellites are in space, there is no backtracking. While companies like SpaceX do need approval from regulatory bodies(监察机构) for each launch, there is no rule that prevents them from launching an unlimited number of satellites.
“We have to rely on firms such as SpaceX voluntarily cooperating with astronomers to attempt to keep the impacts of their satellite constellations (卫星星座) as low as possible.” said space experts.
With more than 1,500 Starlink satellites scheduled for launch in the near future, that cooperation will need to be speedy if it is going to make any difference.
32. Why does SpaceX launch so many communication satellites
A. To expand internet services worldwide.
B. To make users surf the Internet quickly.
C. To disturb the operation of telescopes.
D. To further present space research.
33. What are space experts worried
Satellites are too shiny to be seen.
Satellites occupy the area of telescopes.
Too many satellites move in outer space.
The normal use of the telescopes is affected.
34. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The number of satellite launches will decrease.
B. Coated satellites can effectively weaken brightness.
C. The regulations of satellite launching are not powerful.
D. SpaceX’s cooperation with astronomers remains to be seen.
35. What is probably the best title for the passage
Troubles Made by Satellites
Satellites Threatening Astronomers
SpaceX and Its Future Starlink Plan
Cooperation with Astronomy Community

The world’s only captive (圈养) brown giant panda, Qizai, has been taking more exercise in preparation for the upcoming breeding (繁育) season. He is encouraged to stand up by keepers who place food on the end of a stick held just out of his reach. Panda experts believe that strengthening the giant animal’s legs will improve his ability to breed successfully.
The world’s first brown panda was discovered in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains. All photographs of wild brown pandas were taken in the area, which they were named after. The Qinling giant panda, first recognized in 2005, is a subspecies of giant panda. As well as its brown and white fur, it has a smaller and rounder skull and a shorter nose than the more familiar Sichuan giant panda.
Qizai, whose name means the seventh son, was found as two-month-old cub, weak and alone, by researchers in a nature reserve in the Qinling Mountains. For his safety, the researchers took him to the nearby Shanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue Centre where he was given medical treatment and fed on milk from other pandas.
There are 1, 864 giant pandas in the wild, according to World Wildlife. They live mainly in bamboo forests high in the mountains of south-west China, mostly in Sichuan province, but they can also be found in Shanxi province, where Qizai is from. He was previously thought to be the only living brown panda in the world until a wild panda with the same colour pattern was spotted roaming in a nature reserve in Shanxi in March, 2018. Up to now spotting brown pandas in the wild has taken place no more than ten times, all of which were in the central Qinling Mountains.

Academically, I was an average B+ student, shy and awkward. In my personal life, there was no one to encourage me to pursue my talent, nor acknowledgement that I even had a talent. Luckily, Miss Judge, my English teacher, introduced me to literature that initially inspired me to write. It was she that saw the potential in me that I didn't even know existed.
Miss Judge was a kind and lovely person. She first recommended me some classic works, like To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men and Greek Mythology. Then came The Horror, the one sparking my love of fantasy and magic and everything supernatural, which will always remain on my bookshelf.
Once in class we were assigned to write a scene inspired by Hamlet, the play we were reading. Excited about the chance to write, I worked extra hard on it. After I handed it in, Miss Judge was really impressed and asked if she could read it to the whole class. I refused. Even today, I still regret that decision. At the time, I felt like everyone would think I was deliberately trying to impress them by rubbing my great story in their face.
In my senior year, Miss Judge asked us to write journal entries, which she would read. I was still nervous about others reading my writing. To break from that fear, I decided to just be funny. My journal was filled with my humorous observations, kind of like what you see on the blog today. And she loved them, saying I had a natural talent as a writer. Nothing was more fulfilling. So, I kept writing. She wrote me many encouraging notes, pushing me to pursue a career as a writer. I still have those notes, hoping that next time she hears my name, it's because I'd have won the Pulitzer Prize.
8. Which book may be the author's favorite
A. To Kill a Mockingbird. B. The Horror.
C. Greek Mythology. D. Hamlet.
9. Why was the author unwilling to have her writing read publicly
A. She was afraid to lose face. B. She didn't think it good enough.
C. She didn't want to be considered a show-off. D. She hated to read aloud before the whole class.
10 Which of the following best describes Miss Judge
A. Inspiring. B. Learned. C. Creative. D. Humorous.
11. What message does the author mainly want to convey in the text
A. Hard work will pay off in no time. B. Writing opens up the door of success.
C. Students should read as much as possible. D. Recognition and encouragement make a difference.
D
The confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked my students how they would define science, many of them replied that it’s an objective way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties.
Actually doubt and science often go hand in hand. Science, when properly functioning, questions accepted understandings and brings both new knowledge and new questions —not certainty. Doubt does not create trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions
As a historian of science, I would argue that it’s the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often regarded as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge accepted understandings. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new evidence arises from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are temporary understandings that involve the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of them are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it pushes us towards a better understanding. Certainties, reassuring as they may seem, prevent the scientific process.
Scientists understand this, but in the dynamic between the public and science, there are two opposite misconceptions (误解). The first is a form of blind scientism—a belief that science is unquestionable and has the capacity to solve all problems. Such an idealized representation actually ignores the universal existence of controversy, conflict and error at the very heart of the scientific world.
12. What’s the real power of science according to the author
A. It provides solid solutions. B. It defends accepted understandings.
C. It discovers certainties about the world. D. It keeps bringing questions and challenges.
13. What does the underlined word “reassuring” probably mean
A. Disappointing. B. Surprising. C. Comforting. D. Challenging.
14. What may be the belief of the second misconception
A. Science is unchallengeable and a cure-all. B. Science is unreliable and of little use.
C. Science is objective but impractical. D. Science is doubtful but useful.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why Is Doubt Vital to Science B. Why Should We Trust Scientists
C. What Is the Weakness of Science D. What Is Scientists’ Responsibility
D
Before Starlink, a new satellite Internet system from the company SpaceX, most satellite Internet service was based on satellites that constantly remained above one point on Earth-over Chicago, for example, which means that signals from farther away need to travel a long distance, causing delays. Starlink has a web of satellites moving constantly in a low orbit around the Earth. Because the satellites are closer, the speeds are faster, which makes the service better for things that need to happen without delays, like holding meetings over the Internet.
To get on the Internet with Starlink, users need a terminal(终端). The terminal tracks the web of satellites and communicates with them to provide Internet service. The service works as long as the terminal is placed where it can “see” the sky.
Starlink currently works in 31 countries, but SpaceX plans to expand the service to cover the whole world. The clearest need for this kind of service is in remote areas. Starlink terminals also work from moving objects, so SpaceX is also planning to offer service on transportation, like planes, trains, and boats.
Starlink currently has over 2, 100 satellites in orbit around Earth. SpaceX has permission from the US government to launch 12, 000 satellites, and it has asked for permission to launch as many as 30, 000 more.
Astronomers have complained that Starlink satellites are causing light pollution. This makes it harder to study things in space with satellites getting in the way. SpaceX has worked to abate the light from Starlink satellites. But scientists say the satellites still make their work harder. This will get worse as more satellites fill the skies.
There are also concerns about Starlink satellites crashing into other satellites or spacecraft. In 2019, a European satellite had to move to avoid coming close to Starlink satellites. Still, Starlink has been useful in emergencies. When the island nation of Tonga lost Internet service after a volcano erupted in January, 2022, SpaceX was able to provide temporary service using Starlink.
12. What does paragraph 1 focus on about Starlink
A. Its developments.
B. Its history.
C. Its advantages.
D. Its origin.
13. Which word best describes SpaceX when it comes to Starlink
A. Cautious.
B. Ambitious.
C. Generous.
D. Controversial.
14. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Ignore.
B. Protect.
C. Discover.
D. Reduce.
15. Why is Tonga’s volcanic eruption mentioned
A. To prove Starlink’s usefulness.
B. To show its damge to Starlink.
C. To explain why Starlink is developed.
D. To analyze how Starlink is improved.

“I copied a whole textbook. I didn’t feel like buying a new one, so instead, I borrowed one from a classmate and copied the entire thing using the copy machine.

“Cat liter（猫砂） is something that can set me back a couple hundred every day. However, by toilet-training my cat with a $20 toilet trainer, I’m able to save on the costs and avoid the trouble to change it. Plus it’s always funny to see the cat on the toilet.” —Dustyn from Dime Will Tell

In winter, many of us are reaching for more clothes and turning on the heat. Besides wearing a pair of long johns, increasing our food intake can help protect us against severe cold. So what food keeps us warm？
Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, is great when you find yourself in cold conditions because it is a fantastic source of iron, which is crucial for circulating your blood. Iron is an important mineral to help carry oxygen throughout your body. People with low iron may notice cold hands and feet or easily become tired. Eating red meat can also supply vitamin B12, which contributes to healthy nerves and a strong me system.
Oats can keep you warm in winter. It’s great thermogenic（生热的）food and is filled with nutrients that release energy slowly throughout the day to keep your body warm. You n start your day with a hot breakfast of oats or other types of porridge. Oats are a great source of whole grains and fiber. In addition to keeping you full and warm, oats are full of other nutrients.
Hot ginger tea can make you feel warm inside on a cold day. Ginger is known to be good for health. It’s also a diaphoretic （发汗药）, which means it will help your body warm from the inside. Ginger has the nature to produce heat and help blood circulation in our bodies, making it a great source of warmth.
Root vegetables like sweet potatoes need more energy to move through the digestion process which raises your body temperature. High in vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium（钾） sweet potatoes add fiber and other nutrients to a warm winter meal. Sweet potatoes also have beta—carotene（β胡萝卜素） that is good for eye heath.

When a humpback whale began playing with Nan Hauser like a toy, she feared the worst. The 50,000-pound mammal swam toward the marine biologist and began to push her forward.
Nan had been deep-sea diving for 28 years, but had never known a whale like this. It seemed to keep throwing Nan on its head and back. Most of all, it wanted to keep Nan under its pectoral fin (胸鳍). For ten tense minutes, the whale lifted Nan out of the ocean. She tried to keep cool and calm, but she was aware that at any moment, the whale could break her bones or organs. She smelt death.
Nan believed the encounter would not end well. Fortunately for her, it did! The whale left her alone long enough for her to surface and return to her research vessel.
Onboard the boat, she saw a 15-foot-long tiger shark swimming quietly on the other side of the whale. The heroic humpback wasn’t playing with her or attacking her. It was protecting her from a deadly predator. Nan later learned that at the same time, another humpback whale was busy keeping the shark at bay. She was moved to tears.
In another story, biologist Adam Warwick saved a black bear from drowning.
When the authorities saw a bear wandering around the streets of Florida, they shot a tranquilizer dart into the 375-pound hungry male, but he escaped into the Gulf of Mexico. The bear was attempting to swim four miles across the harbor. But after just 25 yards, he began to struggle.
Realizing the bear would drown, Adam jumped into the water immediately. He got in front of the bear and began splashing and shouting to try to make him turn around. In a panic, the bear attempted to attack Adam. The six-foot-tall bear reared up, but then fell backward underwater. Adam wrapped his arms around the half-awake animal’s neck. Keeping the bear’s head above water, he dragged him to safety.

The student years are not only about books and lectures. This wonderful period of time makes students’ transition(过渡) to adult life easier. Students learn how to live by themselves, and network with professors and other students. Moreover, if they choose, they can join a student organization.
One of the university’s main purposes is to prepare students for an intellectual job. Student organizations’ functions are consistent with that. Usually, such an association on campus carries on many projects that can have a positive impact on students’ life. These can be inspirational speech events and many other non-profit activities. All these interesting projects require more than just students being present. Each of them has to go through various developments regarding management, digital design, finding sponsorships, organizing events and many others. These will be valuable enough to help them get amazing work.
Besides the material effects above, researches show joining a student organization helps psychological development. It is indeed difficult to deal with both extracurricular projects and studies. However, this routine is serious training for their adult life. They will come to understand better the importance of their lectures without which they can’t complete complex tasks, so they will become more committed to their collegiate education.
Once they get involved in a student organization, however, it’s more than likely that they have to spend much time participating in weekly and monthly meetings and contributing their own efforts to lots of projects. Since these activities will have a huge impact on students especially off campus, many students will place extracurricular duties above college courses.
Anyway, the impacts vary in number and effectiveness depending on students’ attention. However, one thing is for certain. Such organizations will provide an unforgettable experience that will unlock their full potential and deserve a shot.
32. Why do student organizations benefit students’ future career？
A. They teach students to network with others.
B. They help students to finish complex tasks.
C. They inspire students to attend speeches.
D. They have students experience different jobs.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Student organizations have many material effects.
B. It’s hard to balance extracurricular projects and studies.
C. Student organizations help students with their adult life.
D. Students organizations benefit psychological development.
34. What’s the disadvantage of joining a student organization according to the text？
A. Concentration on study.
B. Conflicts of time managements.
C. Participation in endless meetings.
D. A waste of efforts to finish projects.
35. What’s the attitude of he author towards joining student organizations？

推理判断题。文章讲述了AVIs自动招录系统的利弊，最后一段作者谈到雇主也会有损失，警示不要完全依赖机器，否则会错过一些优秀人才，强调了现场面试的必要性。从全文来看，作者态度可谓不偏不倚，告知读者：AVIs有利也有弊，使用须谨慎，因此用cautious概括作者态度最精准。其他几项都不对：对AVIs没有流露出明显的厌恶之情，所以不能用disgusted;没有包容其缺陷之言辞，因此不可用tolerant;更没有鼓励支持企业使用，当然谈不上supportive。故选D。
