The growing ice cream franchise (特许经营权) is the brainchild of Tom Landis, an owner of a restaurant, who wanted to create a safe space for people with special needs to work in the food industry, plus the flavors are great!
At the Dallas-based restaurant, employees serve large scoops (勺) of ice cream handed over with love. Tom Landis has hired people with special needs for many years. But he couldn’t always provide a job for everyone who came to his fast-paced sandwich shops and pizza joints looking for work. Determined to create a business where friendliness mattered and kitchens were safe, he landed on ice cream.
In 2015, he opened the first ice cream shop; there are now seven franchises in cities including Asheville, El Paso, Indianapolis and Denver. Each shop creates 15 jobs in a safe environment for people with special needs. He said two more franchises were opening soon. “Our relentless (不懈的) mission is to employ all,” he said while interviewed by the local media.
Employees are behind some of the best ideas at the ice cream shops, which have fun flavors like top-selling Dr Pepper Chocolate Chip, and other favorites like Cold Brew & Cookies and Strawberry Milkshake. In-store sampling events are leading to deal with some grocery stores in the coming months.
When Landis talked about the varieties of ice cream in his shops, he said, “It just works. We sell out every time.” In the sunny and brightly colored shops, employees spread kindness and happiness to their customers as they serve extra ice cream and free sprinkles (糖屑).
“That’s what ice cream is,” said Landis with joy. His employees are heroes. “They lead me,” he added.
24．What does Landis intend to provide for people with special needs
A．A kind boss. B．Huge salaries.
C．A room to live. D．Safe working places.
25．What do we know about Landis’ sandwich shops
A．They didn’t suit all job hunters. B．The customers there had special needs.
C．The food there was made in factories. D．They had a new space for customers.
26．What does the author mainly want to convey in paragraph 4
A．The diversity of ice cream. B．The employees’ creativity.
C．The popularity of ice cream. D．The friendship between employees.
27．Which of the following can best describe Landis
A．Mean but energetic. B．Successful and determined.
C．Modest and responsible. D．Conservative but practical.
C
Most people hate mosquitoes — but scientists are about to build a “mosquito factory” to release modified (改良的) mosquitoes.
The modified mosquitoes carry a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis (沃尔巴克氏菌), which can be naturally found in most insect species. However, it’s rarely discovered in mosquitoes. “We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium,” Scott O’Neill, an Australian scientist involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population.
Several studies have demonstrated the insects’ success. For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue (登革热) by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021.
The World Mosquito Program has announced that it will release modified mosquitoes in many of Brazil’s urban areas over the next 10 years. The aim is to protect up to 70 million people from diseases such as dengue, an infectious disease mainly spread by mosquitoes.
Brazil has one of the highest rates of dengue infection in the world, according to the Nature website. “More than 1,000 people died of dengue in 2022 because of the spread of mosquitoes. It’s going everywhere,” Luciano Moreira, a scientist in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, told CBC News.
Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified mosquitoes (GM). In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency approved the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida.
According to the agency, GM mosquitoes carry two types of genes: a self-limiting gene that prevents female offspring (后代) from surviving to adulthood; and a marker gene that allows researchers to identify GM ones in the wild. After being released, GM mosquitoes lay eggs, so the genes are passed on to offspring. In this way, the number of female mosquitoes is reduced, therefore reducing the chance of spreading disease.
28．What is the final purpose of building the “mosquito factory”
A．To prevent the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.
B．To produce massive mosquitoes for scientific research.
C．To study the behavior of mosquitoes in different environments.
D．To replace the natural mosquito population with a modified one.
29．What is the function of paragraph 5 in the text
A．It states challenges facing the program. B．It provides the background to the program.
C．It shows the expected effect of the program. D．It indicates an opinion on the announcement.
30．How does the self-limiting gene in genetically modified mosquitoes work
A．By limiting their ability to lay eggs. B．By making them immune to disease.
C．By reducing their offspring’s lifespans. D．By allowing them to be easily identified.
31．What can be the best title for the text
A．A Mosquito Factory B．Reducing Dengue in Brazil
C．Experimenting on Modified Insects D．Modifying Infectious Mosquitoes
D
Imagine reading a story titled “Pursuing Success.” That would be an inspiring story, wouldn’t it Maybe — but maybe not. It might well be the story of someone whose never-ending chase for more and more success leaves them unsatisfied and incapable of happiness.
Though it isn’t a conventional medical addiction, for many people success has addictive properties. Obviously, success goes with praise. To a certain extent, praise stimulates the neurotransmitter dopamine (神经递质多巴胺), which contributes to all addictive behaviors.
The desire for success may be born to human nature, but specialness doesn’t come cheap. Success is tough work, and it requires bearing the cost of losing. In the 1980s, the physician Robert Goldman famously found that more than half of ambitious athletes would be willing to take a drug that would kill them in five years in exchange for winning every competition they entered.
Unfortunately, success is endless. The goal can’t be satisfied; most people never feel “successful” enough. The high only lasts a day or two, and then it’s on to the next goal. Psychologists call this the hedonic treadmill (快乐跑步机现象), in which satisfaction wears off almost immediately and we must run on to the next reward to avoid the feeling of falling behind.
People should get off the treadmill. But quitting isn’t easy for addicts. For people hooked on substances, withdrawal can be a painful experience, both physically and psychologically, research finds that depression and anxiety are common among outstanding athletes after their careers end. Olympic athletes, in particular, suffer from the “ post-Olympic blues.”
Just like wine, success in and of itself is not a bad thing. Both can bring fun and sweetness to life. But both become bossy (专横的) when they are a substitute for — instead of a complement (补充物) to — the relationships and love that should be at the center of our lives.
32．What does praise function as when going with success
A．It has nothing to do with success addiction.
B．It may indirectly cause success addiction.
C．It always brings positive results of success.
D．It results in all addictive behaviors except success.
33．Why did the author mention the research findings of Robert Goldman
A．To show success is a tough and cruel job.
B．To stress the key to success lies in efforts.
C．To argue that athletes deserve more rewards.
D．To describe the routine training of an ordinary athlete.
34．What can success bring to a success addict according to psychologists
A．Satisfaction and a sense of pride. B．Anxiety and short-lived happiness.
C．Relaxation and endless motivation. D．Confidence and permanent happiness.
35．What does the author suggest people do about pursuing success
A．Stop chasing success. B．Chase success at any cost.
C．Reflect on what matters in life. D．Give up love and relationships.

The History of the Automobile
The automobile, more commonly known as the car, certainly counts as one of the greatest inventions in human history. 36
As to who invented the automobile, the answer is not quite so clear-cut. While some give credit to Karl Benz, who patented the first gas-powered vehicle in 1886, others give the praise to Gottlieb Daimelr. Incidentally, the two inventors’ companies combined in 1926 to form the famous Mercedes-Benz.
37 It was Henry Ford who designed a system of mass production that allowed him to produce cars far more cheaply, which in turn meant he could sell them at lower prices. By 1927, 15 million of Ford’s famous all-black Model Ts had been produced. Mass car ownership had become a reality.
38 Inventors were working on electric vehicles around the same time that gas-powered ones were being developed. The first electric car was designed in 1884 by Thomas Parker, the same man who electrified the London Underground. By 1900, electric vehicles were giving gas cars a run for their money. They were quiet, did not give off emissions, and were easier to drive, especially for women. 39 They were difficult to charge when most people’s homes didn’t have electricity. They were also rather expensive. In the end, Henry Ford’s cheap Model T put an end to interest in electric cars which didn’t become popular until the gas shortages and environmental concerns of the late 20th century.
Now, early in the 21st century, we find ourselves on the brink of yet another age in automobile history. Electric cars are set to make the gas-guzzler (油老虎) out of date. 40 Benz, Daimler and Parker would surely be amazed by how far their dreams have come.
A．But why were early electric cars not popular
B．However, they weren’t without shortcomings.
C．They were also popular in European countries.
D．It allows people to travel great distances quickly, safely and cheaply.
E．And self-driving cars may soon make human drivers a thing of the past.
F．At first, European models were far too expensive for most people to buy.
G．Many people think of electric vehicles as a new invention, but actually that’s not the case.

On a common morning just inside the entryway to a subway station, a young man took his violin out of its case. He seemed quite common in 41 . Then the man plucked (拨) the strings for minutes to tune his 42 . After that, he reached into his pocket and 43 a few dollars, which he threw into the violin case, hoping that the passers-by would 44 . Then he began to play, and thousands of people were hurrying to work, school, or wherever they were 45 as the morning rush was 46 . Though the incredible sound of this man’s violin filled the subway station, it was apparently 47 by all.
If he were any other street 48 , perhaps it would have been 49 that he earned little attention of people. 50 , he is Joshua Bell, one of the world’s most celebrated 51 , and he was playing one of the most classical masterpieces on his $3,000,000 violin. Actually, almost nobody noticed his playing. Why One reason is that he didn’t look like a special man; the other is that everyone was too busy to 52 Joshua Bell’s excellent music.
“I’m busy!” is an everyday 53 from people like those who walked past Joshua Bell’s music without 54 a moment. All of this got me thinking: sometimes we should say no to useless busyness and allow for some 55 presence so as to perceive the beauty around us.

A light rain was falling as my sister Jill and I ran out of the shop, eager to get home and play with the presents that our parents had prepared for us and our baby sister, Sharon. Across the street from the shop was a gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped, which was closed for New Year, but I saw a family standing outside the locked door, gathering closely together under the narrow overhang (屋檐) in an attempt to keep dry. I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I raced to keep up with Jill.
Once we got home, there was barely time to enjoy our presents. We had to go off to our grandparents’ house for our annual family dinner. As we drove down the highway through town, I noticed that the family was still there, standing outside the closed gas station.
My father was driving very slowly down the highway. The closer we got to the turnoff (岔道) for my grandparents’ house, the slower the car went. Suddenly, my father made a U turn in the middle of the road and said that he couldn’t stand it. “What？” asked my mother. “It’s those people back there at the station, standing in the rain. They’ve got children. It’s New Year. I can’t stand it.”
When my father pulled into the service station, I saw that there were five of them: the parents and three children—two girls and a small boy, who were getting wet standing there. My father rolled down his window. “Happy New Year, ” he said.
“Thanks. You, too, ” the man replied. He was very tall and had to bend slightly to look into the car. Jill, Sharon, and I looked at the children, and they looked back at us.
“You waiting on the bus ” my father asked. The man said that they were. They were going to Birmingham, where he had a brother and chances of a job. Knowing the bus wouldn’t come along for several hours, my father invited them to our home to shelter from the rain.
Paragraph 1：
The man thought about it for a moment, but then refused.
