Have you heard of Hispanic Heritage Month (拉美裔文化月) We break down this monthlong celebration from September 15 to October 15 that recognizes the different Hispanic community in the United States and the varied and meaningful contributions they bring to our country and culture.
According to the Hispanic Heritage Month official website, it is observed “by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America”. For generations, Hispanics have contributed to the food, music, business, science, and culture that we know as American, and the 30 days that make up Hispanic Heritage Month each fall is just one opportunity to show these achievements.
Hispanics are the country's second-largest racial group, behind white non-Hispanics according to the latest 2020 census (普查). Hispanics now account for 18. 7 percent of the U.S. population, up 2. 4 percent in the previous decade with 62. 1 million Hispanics living across America with big concentrations in New York, California, Texas and Florida.
Hispanic Heritage Month first started as a week when it was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. According to Congressional history, the week was created to bring attention and awareness to “Hispanic-American contributions to the United States”, along with networking opportunities for “grassroots and civil rights activists inside and outside the Hispanic-American community”.
Almost 20 years later, Representative Esteban Torres of California, a proud Mexican-American, gave a bill to expand it into Hispanic Heritage Month saying supporters of the bill “want the American people to learn of our heritage. We want the public to know that we share a legacy (遗产) with the rest of the country, a legacy that includes artists, writers, Olympic champions, and leaders in business, government, cinema, and science". That bill didn't pass, but Senator Paul Simon of Illinois gave a similar bill that President Ronald Reagan signed into law after that in 1988 creating now what Hispanic Heritage Month is.
24. What is the aim of Hispanic Heritage Month
A. To pass the values of Hispanics.
B. To celebrate the harvest of each fall.
C. To display the achievements made by Hispanics.
D. To honor the first generation of Hispanics in America.
25. Which racial group is the largest in America
A. People from Spain. B. White non-Hispanics.
C. Non-white people. D. People from the Caribbean.
26. When did Representative Esteban Torres introduce his bill
A. In 2020. B. In 1968. C. In 1987. D. In 1988.
27. Which might be the best title for the text
A. What is Hispanic Heritage Month in America
B. Where do Hispanics Come from
C. Why do People Create Hispanic Heritage Month
D. How do People Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

Amy Jandrisevits knows the value of a good doll. “Dolls have a power we don't completely understand,” she says. It’s a conclusion she came to while working as a pediatric oncology (儿科肿瘤) social worker using dolls to help her young patients adapt to their changing medical situations. Many of the kids saw themselves in those good dolls, But for the kids who had lost their legs or hair, there were none they could relate to.
So, eight years ago, when a friend said that her child was disabled, Jandrisevits knew what might help the youth through the challenging period. “It's hard to tell a kid, ‘You are perfect the way you are,’ and it is important to build the kids' self-confidence,” she says.
Jandrisevits went about changing that. She made a doll by hand, which looked like her friend's child and sent it off. After the friend posted a photo of the happy child and doll on-line, another woman asked Jandrisevits to make a doll that looked like her baby, who had lost a leg.
Word spread, and soon Jandrisevits made dolls for children with different physical defects (缺陷)—in short，dolls that looked like them. She quit her job and started a nonprofit, A Doll Like Me. Working out of her home in Milwaukee, based on photos sent by kids' parents or caregivers, Jandrisevits takes about seven hours to make each doll. A GoFundMe page helps her make up for costs and allows her to donate her services. She hasn't charged for a doll since she began her nonprofit.
In all, she has made more than 400 dolls. The waiting list is long, but Jandrisevits is undefeated. As she explains on her GoFundMe page, “Every kid, regardless of age or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.”
28. What is the value of good dolls in the eyes of Jandrisevits
A. Helping some patients learn to make the dolls.
B. Letting some patients see themselves in the dolls.
C. Letting some patients believe that they're perfect.
D. Helping some patients adapt to the new school life.
29. Who does Jandrisevits specially make dolls for
A. Sick doctors. B. Adult patients. C. Patients' parents. D. Disabled children.
30. Which words can best describe Jandrisevits
A. Helpful and handy. B. Romantic and funny.
C. Frank and humorous. D. Athletic and energetic.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Serve patients. B. That's my doll.
C. Make dolls by yourself. D. What happy kids they are.

Official figures show that 101 people were killed in road accidents on the streets of London last year. The city wants to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the capital's roads to zero. It seems impossible. But it focuses more minds on an important question: What can help reduce accidents in a big city Transport for London (TfL), the capital's road and rail authority, has some answers: safe speeds, safe vehicles and so on.
A safety standard for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), which harnesses blind area cameras and sensors (传感器), is pioneering. Blind area cameras and sensors are widely placed where they are needed. The European Commission has followed it. TfL has also helpfully identified London's most dangerous places. Half of Britain's most dangerous roads run through the capital. Around three-quarters of accidents that cause deaths or serious injuries happen at crossing near the British Museum, which has been the site of the most deaths since 2012. Westminster is the most dangerous area for walkers and cyclists, so it introduced 20 mph speed limits on all its roads in 2021.
“Vision Zero” was launched in 2018. Deaths and serious injuries on London's roads have fallen—by 53% and 40% respectively in 2022. But movement is not one-way. Deaths were record breakingly low in 2020 and 2021. But in 2022 the deaths rose again. “We are moving in the right direction,” says Will Norman, London's walking and cycling commissioner.
Lack of funds for TfL has put off improving the riskiest areas. Only a few parts of the 1010 Avenue have bike paths with guardrails (护栏). Safety is the biggest problem to people taking up cycling or letting their children walk or cycle. But greener vehicles may be unsafe themselves. Electric scooters (滑板车) are the latest ones to confuse planners. “One of those doing 50 mph down the road is not good for anybody,” said Mr Norman.
32. What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To make the article interesting. B. To stress the importance of TfL.
C. To call on scientists to study the question. D. To give some background information.
33. What does the underlined word “harnesses” mean in paragraph 2
A. Compares. B. Removes. C. Uses. D. Replaces.
34. What is the Will Norman's attitude to the “Vision Zero”
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Puzzled. D. Unclear.
35. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Bike lanes are not safe anymore for riders on roads.
B. Children should think twice when taking up cycling.
C. Safety has been a problem for some eco-friendly vehicles.
D. Electric scooters have become the biggest confusion for planners.
