Paragraph 1:
Albert’s blood boiled with anger as he rushed to help Barney. He could not believe his son should be so cruel toward an old man. He immediately called 911 and tried to help Barney stand up, but the poor old man couldn’t stand for long as he was injured. So Albert gathered the ruined pizza boxes and called the pizza shop to inform them of the accident. Soon an ambulance arrived. Albert then accompanied Barney to the hospital in the ambulance. He dared not imagine what could have happened if he wasn’t there on time.
Paragraph 2:
Later, Albert tried to teach his son to know the value of hard work and respecting people. Albert explained, “The old man delivered pizzas only to expect his grandson to have a better future. However, you wasted time and money throwing parties when you should be studying. And all he wanted was a small amount of tip from you. What you did was not how you should treat an elderly man.” Having realized his mistake, Fabian lowered his head. Albert then took Fabian to the hospital where Barney stayed. The father and son apologized to Barney for the rude behavior. In addition, Albert paid Barney’s medical bill and gave Barney a large enough tip.

W: The time is seven thirty and here is radio JPD’s weather and traffic information this Thursday morning. Traveling will be difficult today because of the heavy snow last night. Traffic is moving slowly on the M16 and M48 motorway and the police say the M43 will stay closed for more than an hour, until a quarter to nine. In the city, an accident at the North Street means that it is closed to all cars, and drivers must use New Street or Lake Street. Because of this, some journeys by bus are taking longer. The No. 16 bus to the city center is really late. There are also problems for railway passengers because of thick snow on the tracks. All trains to Oxford are late and there will be no trains to London until lunchtime. Passengers should phone 07223691 for the latest information about trains. This afternoon, it is going to be very windy, and it’ll last until tomorrow morning. So wear some warm clothes if you have to go out!

When ancient Egyptians put pen to paper—or, more accurately, ink to papyrus (纸莎草纸) —they took steps to ensure that their words would last forever, a new study suggests. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have found that ancient scribes (抄写员) likely added lead to their inks to help their writing dry. More than 1,000 years later, reports Cosmos Magazine, 15th-century European artists employed lead as well. According to the London National Gallery, lead-based pigments found in many Old Master paintings are “known to aid the drying of paint films.”
According to a statement from the University of Copenhagen, the study’s authors analyzed 12 papyrus pieces dating back to between 100 and 200 C.E., when Egypt was under Roman control. The team used X-ray microscope to determine the raw materials used in different inks, as well as the chemical structure of the dried ink attached to the ancient paper. Ancient Egyptians began writing with ink—made by burning wood or oil and mixing the resulting material with water—around 3200 B.C. Typically, scribes used black, carbon-based ink for the body of text and reserved red ink for headings and other key words in the text. Though black and red inks were most common, shades of blue, green, white and yellow also appeared in ancient texts.
The researchers write that the Egyptians created red inks with iron-based combinations—most likely natural earth pigments. The team also identified the presence of lead. They were bowled over that there was no lead white or other combinations that would typically be present in a lead-based pigment. Instead, the ancient ink’s lead pigments appeared to wrap around the papyrus cell walls and iron particles (微粒). The resulting effect looked “as if the letters were outlined” in lead. This finding indicates that the ancient Egyptians invented a system of adding lead to red and black inks specifically for the purpose of sticking the words to paper.
The 12 analyzed papyrus pieces are part of the University of Copenhagen’s Papyrus Carlsberg Collection. The documents originated in Tebtunis, the only large-scale institutional library known to have survived from ancient Egyptian times.
28. What is the main function of lead in the masterpieces of the ancients
A. To make the colors brighter. B. To stick the ink to the pen.
C. To help the writing dry. D. To increase their thickness.
29. What can be inferred from the statement
A. It was easy for X-ray microscope to detect the raw materials.
B. Only wet inks can be used to determine their chemical components.
C. Ancient Egyptians already knew black could catch eyes easily.
D. The inks used by the ancient Egyptians came in a variety of colors.
30. What do the underlined words mean
A. Amazed. B. Concerned. C. Angry. D. Worried.
31. How did the ancient Egyptians make words stay on paper for a long time according to Paragraph 3
A. By combining several kinds of colors.
B. By adding lead to red and black inks.
C. By breaking the structure of the colors.
D. By analyzing the elements of the paper.
D
A recent study has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete and steel can reduce emissions. But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). “Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.”
32．What is wrong with previous researches according to Searchinger
A．They got wrong statistics. B．They used an incorrect concept.
C．They included too many factors. D．They were applied in limited countries.
33．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The process of the new research. B．The background of the new study.
C．The challenge of the new research. D．The achievements of the new study.
34．When will the emissions drop off greatly according to the new study
A．When wood grows slowly.
B．When wood is used to make paper.
C．When wood is used to build a house.
D．When wood is harvested in countries like Brazil.
35．What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result
A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Critical. D．Objective.

Unfortunately, 81-year-old Barney had lost two most beloved people of his life, his wife and his only daughter, who left her 6-year-old son Tommy in his hands.
Tommy was a bright, talented young boy with a promising future ahead of him. But with insufficient resources, Barney knew it would be hard to provide Tommy with the way he deserved and dreamed. Barney applied for a job as a pizza deliveryman. It was exhausting, because Barney had to go up and down to different addresses on hot, cold, and rainy days, door-delivering pizzas to customers. Hard though the job was, the pay was not that great.
However, Barney was fueled by the thought that every box of pizza he delivered was money and one step closer to giving his grandson a better life. With the thought of his grandson’s future in his mind, Barney drove to the address that winter morning.
The cold winter air froze everything on its path. With a deep sense of relief, Barney finally arrived at the address. His heart raced at seeing the angry client, a teenage boy named Fabian, on the doorstep.
“What took you so long ” Fabian screamed. Barney observed the teen’s anger and realized he wouldn’t get any tips. However, he was fortunate enough that he was at least able to deliver the pizzas to the client.
Just as Barney made his way up the stairs with the pizza boxes, he fell down on the concrete, hurting his leg. And the 15 boxes of pizza he was holding went everywhere on the ground.
“How did they hire an old man like you Clean up the mess and get out!” Fabian made fun of Barney as he struggled to rise on his feet. To make things worse, Fabian’s friends ganged up cruelly laughing at poor Barney. Barney realized he had broken his leg due to the severe fall. Fabian’s angry word kept ringing in Barney’s head as he lay helpless and painful on the icy ground, crying.
