Bike-friendly cities around the world
Cycling is kind to the environment so it is an excellent way to take in the city. Here are 4bike-friendly cities having adopted this green mode of transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Montréal, Canada
Montréal has already established protected bike paths since the 1980s. BIXI is the city’s bike-sharing system with 9, 600 bikes and almost 800 stations. Cyclists can make their visit to the Tour de L’lle Montreal, a yearly bike ride where cyclists take to the streets for a day without any other vehicles being allowed on the roads.
Malm , Sweden
Cycling in Malm is enjoyable due to the relaxed and easy-going manner of most cyclists. The calming atmosphere makes it a great experience, even for nervous riders. A highly recommended bike route is from Ribersborg park to Limhamn Harbour, where riders can take a few good photos of the famous Oresund Bridge.
Beijing, China
In the 1970s, bicycles were the main mode of transportation for people in Beijing. However, dedicated (专用的) cycle paths for cyclists were limited. Only in May 2019, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people.
Bogota, Colombia
Bogota first introduced the concept of cycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m.to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. As a result, Bogota now has 550km of bike paths and is the most bike-friendly city in Latin America.
1. What make(s)Montréal different from other cities
A. A well-developed bike-sharing system.
B. The oldest protected bike paths.
C. An annual bicycle event.
D. The most calming effect on cyclists.
2. Which city will attract cyclists interested in photography
A. Beijing. B. Malm . C. Montréal. D. Bogota.
3. What do Beijing and Bogota have in common
A. Improvement in cycling facility.
B. Shift in primary means of transportation.
C. Regular investment in building bicycle paths.
D. Multiple specific cycle paths connecting districts.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A

The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m.to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. (波哥大于1974年首次引入了自行车道的概念。根据这一想法，每周日早上7点到下午2点，城市道路上禁止汽车行驶，以帮助骑自行车、跑步和步行的人安全锻炼。从那时起，该市缓慢但稳步地扩大了这一计划，包括建立专用的自行车道。)”可知北京和波哥大都进行了自行车设施的改善。故选A。
B
I was 16 when one morning my father told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, on condition that I took the car into a nearby garage to be serviced. Having just learnt to drive and hardly ever having the chance to use the car, I happily accepted. I drove Dad into the village and promised to pick him up at 4 p.m., and then drove to a nearby garage. Because I had a few free hours, I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theatre near the garage. When the last movie had finished, it was six o’clock. I was two hours late!
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies. I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than expected. I drove up to the place where we had appointed to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently. I said sorry and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some repairs.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”
“What do you mean I’m telling the truth.”
Dad looked at me. “When you did not show up, I called the garage. They told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So you see, I know there were no problems with the car.”
I had to confess (承认) to my trip to the movie theatre. Dad listened as a sadness passed through him.
“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and consider where I have gone wrong all these years.”
“But Dad, it’s 18 miles to our home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.” My words were useless. Dad began walking along the roads, silently, thoughtfully and painfully. For 18 miles I drove behind him.
This was the most painful experience that I had ever had. It was also the most successful lesson. I have never lied to my father since.
4. Why was the author delighted to drive his father into the village
A. He longed to drive the car.
B. He intended to repair the car.
C. He looked forward to touring the village.
D. He had an opportunity to watch movies.
5. How did the author’s father know he lied

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者的父亲因为作者说谎而选择自己步行回家反思自己的教育失败，而父亲这样的行为也让作者意识到自己的错误，从此再也没有撒过谎。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Having just learnt to drive and hardly ever having the chance to use the car, I happily accepted.(当时我刚学会开车，几乎没有机会使用这辆车，所以我欣然接受了。)”可知，作者很高兴开车送他父亲进村是因为作者刚学会开车，但是却没有机会开车，所以听到父亲的提议，作者感到很开心能够开车。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Dad looked at me. “When you did not show up, I called the garage. They told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So you see, I know there were no problems with the car.”(爸爸看着我。“你没来，我给汽车修理厂打了电话。他们告诉我你还没有取车。所以你看，我知道那辆车没有问题。”)”可知，作者的父亲知道作者撒谎是因为作者的父亲给汽车修理厂打了电话。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段“I had to confess（承认）to my trip to the movie theatre. Dad listened as a sadness passed through him.(我不得不承认我去看电影了。爸爸听着，一阵悲伤袭上心头。)”以及文章第七段““I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and consider where I have gone wrong all these years.”(“我很生气，不是生你的气，而是生我自己的气。我失败了，因为我养大了一个连对自己的父亲说真话都不敢说的儿子。我现在要走回家，想想这些年我到底哪里出了问题。”)”可知，当作者的父亲知道儿子对自己撒谎时，作者的父亲感到伤心和恼怒。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者在父亲的要求下，开车送父亲到18英里外的村庄，然后去修车。在等待父亲的过程中，他看了一部电影，结果迟到了两个小时。他编造了一个修车的谎言来解释迟到的原因，但被父亲识破。父亲因此很失望，并决定步行回家反思自己的教育失败。作者意识到自己的错误，从此再也没有对父亲撒谎。由此可知，作者的父亲步行的这18英里路让作者难以忘怀。故选C。
C
Perhaps you know northern Americans still maintain the habit of celebrating Groundhog Day when a large groundhog (土拨鼠) checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar (毛毛虫) known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions
According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the caterpillar has 13 segments (昆虫的节/段) to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.
Scientific studies on worm forecasting are rare. American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted a small trial in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.
Most scientists view the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just that, folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one — probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.”
Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a caterpillar and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”
8. How do people predict the weather through caterpillars
A. By analyzing their living habits.
B. By measuring the change of their size.
C. By calculating the number of their segments.
D. By studying color bands on their bodies.
9. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on
A. His personal observations.
B. An investigation on the locals.
C. Studies by previous scientists.
D. Statistics collected by the museum.
10. What is Joe Boggs’s attitude towards the folklore
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
11. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with
A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it.
B. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather.
C. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth.
D. The caterpillar can help predict the severity of winter accurately.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了用毛毛虫预测冬天的民间传说。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter.(毛茸茸的蠕虫的黑色带越长，冬天就越长、越冷、越多雪，也就越严酷。同样，更宽的中间棕色带是即将到来的温和冬天的标志)”可知，人们通过研究毛毛虫身体上的色带来预测天气。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.(听说了毛毛虫的民间传说后，Curran每年秋天都前往Bear Mountain州立公园收集毛毛虫，持续了八年。他发现，如果这些蠕虫身上有超过三分之一的褐色斑纹，冬天就会比较温和)”可知，Howard Curran的发现是基于他自己的观察，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one — probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.(Curran是一位真正的科学家。他发表了大量的论文，但他从未发表过这篇——可能是因为他知道这篇论文经不起同行评议)”可知，Joe Boggs认为Curran不发表关于毛毛虫预测冬天的论文可能是因为Curran知道这经不起同行评议，由此推知Joe Boggs对于这个民间传说持怀疑态度，故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“’The band does say something about a heavy winter,’ he says. ‘The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.’(‘色带确实表达了一些关于严冬的东西。’他说。‘唯一的问题是，它告诉你的是前一年的情况。’)”可知，Mike Peters认为毛毛虫身上的色带可以反映过去的天气，故选B。
D
During the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there was a lot of talk about the environmental efforts taken. Athletes slept on beds made from recycled cardboard. The medals were produced out of old appliances such as smartphones and laptops. Over 90% of Japanese cities, towns and villages participated in the two-year effort to collect recycled materials to produce 5000 medals. Eighty tons of small electrical devices were collected to make this project successful.
With the 2024 Olympics Games underway in Paris, new environmental efforts are coming into play. Observers will sit on chairs made of plastic recycled from local bins. This decision was made due to a lack of unused raw materials to make new seats, so the eco-construction firm Le Pave turned to make the seats out of waste. Around 11,000 seats will be made from recycled materials.
The plastic collection for Paris 2024 has been carried out in the region’s schools, and over five million coloured bottle caps have been recovered Moreover, 80% of the 100 tons of recycled plastic needed to make the seats come from the yellow bins collections. This is all part of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular economy.
The Olympic Games organizers are planning to make the Paris 2024 Games the greenest Olympic Games yet. They seek to apply a carbon-neutral approach that will lessen the climate impact of the Games by predicting, avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions (排放) and encouraging others to get involved. The Summer Games have released 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions in previous years. The Paris 2024 Games has set a carbon budget of 1.5 million tons which includes the emissions from construction, transportation and operations of the Games.
These plans are ambitious but are achievable. If Paris 2024 successfully reduces emissions and promotes a circular economy, it might set the standard for future Olympic and Paralympic Games, despite where they are held.
12. What were the 2020 Olympics medals made from
A. Raw metal. B. Reused plastic.
C. Used electronic devices. D. Recycled cardboard.
13. What is the purpose of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy
A. To stop carbon emissions.
B. To make seats for athletes.
C. To restrict single-use plastic usage.
D. To collect coloured bottle caps.
14. What do the underlined words “carbon neutral approach” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Decrease of carbon emissions.
B. Limitation to single-use plastics.
C. Promotion of recycling in school.
D. Encouragement of a circular economy.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the plans for the Paris 2024 Games
A. Uncaring. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会的环保理念和计划。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“The medals were produced out of old appliances such as smartphones and laptops. (奖牌是用智能手机和笔记本电脑等旧设备制作的)”可知，东京奥运会的奖牌是由旧的智能手机和笔记本等电器制作的，由此可知，东京奥运会的奖牌是由旧的电子设备制作而成的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is all part of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular economy. (这是巴黎2024年“零浪费”战略的一部分，旨在限制一次性塑料的使用，鼓励循环经济)”可知，“零浪费”策略的目的是为了限制一次性塑料的使用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。分析划线短语后的“that will lessen the climate impact of the Games by predicting, avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions（排放）and encouraging others to get involved. (通过预测、避免、减少和平衡碳排放，并鼓励其他国家参与的方式来减轻奥运会对气候的影响)”结构可知，此处为定语从句，对划线短语carbon-neutral approach修饰限制，这一方法是通过减少碳排放的方式来减轻奥运会对气候的影响，由此可知，carbon-neutral approach指的是“减少碳排放”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“These plans are ambitious but are achievable. If Paris 2024 successfully reduces emissions and promotes a circular economy, it might set the standard for future Olympic and Paralympic Games, despite where they are held. (这些计划雄心勃勃，但却是可以实现的。如果2024年巴黎奥运会成功地减少了碳排放，促进了循环经济，无论在哪里举行奥运会，它可能就为以后的奥运会和残奥会制定了标准)”可知，2024年巴黎奥运会的这些计划雄心勃勃的，但却是可实现的，如果巴黎奥运会成功地减少了碳排放，它将为以后的奥运会指定标准，由此可知，作者对2024巴黎奥运会的这些计划是支持的。故选D项。

Tens of thousands of nature lovers see black bears and grizzly bears each year____16____But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death. If you come upon a bear in its natural setting, your first reaction may be to feel frightened. But staying safe depends on acting carefully and calmly.
____17____Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead.____18____It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.
If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive（such as when protecting young bears）or predatory（捕食性的）（such as when hunting）.____19____Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive. When a bear is defensive, it is feeling threatened. Dropping to the ground is an effective way to show the bear that you are not a threat.
Black bears do not often challenge humans, but when they do, their attacks are usually predatory. Bears do not feel threatened when they are hunting, so playing dead will not help you stay safe. During a predatory bear attack, the first thing you should do is drop any food you have and back away. If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects.____20____. You can also use pepper spray（喷雾）during a bear attack. Always bring it with you in the wild, and have it ready to use without delay.
A. It is a good idea to collect some facts about bears.
B. Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.
C. Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.
D. That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.
E. Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.
F. You should learn some life-saving skills before going on a hike in the wild.
G. There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. B

【16题详解】
根据空后内容“But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death.(但对于少数不幸的人来说，与熊的邂逅可能会导致严重的伤害或死亡。)”中的“but”可推测，空处内容和本句内容相反。选项C“Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.(大多数人带着激动人心的回忆和照片离开。)”指的是大多数遇到熊都很安全，和下文内容存在转折关系。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据空后的内容“Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead(有些人会建议逃跑，但是熊比人类跑得快得多。还有人说人应该倒在地上装死。)”可知，下文建议了人们在遇到熊的时候应该如何做。选项G“There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.(关于一个人在面对熊时应该如何反应，有很多想法。)”引出下文具体内容。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据空后内容“It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.(在你进入野外之前，最好尽可能多地了解熊的不同行为。)”可知，上文的这些应对熊的方式还不够全面。选项D“That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.(这在某些情况下是一种提示，但在其他情况下不是。)”承上启下，承接上文说明上文提到的建议有时候是有用的，同时指出有时候这些建议是没有用的，从而引出下文内容，指出我们应该尽可能多地了解熊的不同行为。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据空前内容“If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive（such as when protecting young bears）or predatory（捕食性的）（such as when hunting）.(如果熊向你走来，你必须首先确定熊的攻击是防御性的(比如在保护幼熊的时候)还是掠夺性的(比如在狩猎的时候)。)”可知，熊的攻击方式是不同的，我们要确定熊的攻击方式。选项E“Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.(黑熊和灰熊攻击人的原因不同。)”延续上文内容，指的是黑熊和灰熊攻击人的原因不同，同时引出下文“Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive.(大多数灰熊的攻击都是防御性的。)”。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据空前内容“If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects.(如果熊仍然向你走来，尽可能大声喊叫和击打物体。)”可知，熊向你走来时，你可以尽可能大声喊叫或击打物体。选项B“Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.(你的可怕行为会让熊后退。)”延续上文内容，指的是你大声喊叫或击打物体这样的可怕行为可能会让熊后退。故选B。

As waves touched them, they seemed to be flowers blooming in gentle wind.
One day, Peter was wandering through a market with Shirley with some shells in his pocket. Suddenly Peter found his younger sister was lagging (落后) behind. He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley standing in front of a toy shop and staring at something with great interest. The boy went back to her and asked, “What do you want ” Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister’s tiny hand, walking into the shop. He tiptoed to reach for the doll, and like fulfilling an elder brother’s duty, gave the precious doll to Shirley. Holding tightly the doll, the sister was very happy.
The shopkeeper was watching everything and enjoyed seeing the mature (成熟的) behavior of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “How much does this doll cost, sir ” “The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked the boy with love, “Well, what can you pay ” Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little kids’ breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it with care on the counter, asking again, “Sir, is it enough for my little sister’s doll ” The amusing scene just in front of the shopkeeper eventually brought a smile to his face. Shaking his head slightly, he replied, “My boy, I am afraid it seems not to be enough.”

Beijing, China
In the 1970s, bicycles were the main mode of transportation for people in Beijing. However, dedicated (专用的) cycle paths for cyclists were limited. Only in May 2019, did the city launch its first specific cycle path. This achievement in cycling facility is worth a shout-out for a city with over 21 million people.
Bogota, Colombia
Bogota first introduced the concept of cycle path in 1974. The idea sees cars being banned from city roads every Sunday from 7 a.m.to 2 p.m., helping cyclists, runners and walkers exercise safely. Since then, the city has slowly but steadily expanded the program, including setting up dedicated cycle paths. As a result, Bogota now has 550km of bike paths and is the most bike-friendly city in Latin America.

I was 16 when one morning my father told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, on condition that I took the car into a nearby garage to be serviced. Having just learnt to drive and hardly ever having the chance to use the car, I happily accepted. I drove Dad into the village and promised to pick him up at 4 p.m., and then drove to a nearby garage. Because I had a few free hours, I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theatre near the garage. When the last movie had finished, it was six o’clock. I was two hours late!
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies. I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than expected. I drove up to the place where we had appointed to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently. I said sorry and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some repairs.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”
“What do you mean I’m telling the truth.”
Dad looked at me. “When you did not show up, I called the garage. They told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So you see, I know there were no problems with the car.”
I had to confess (承认) to my trip to the movie theatre. Dad listened as a sadness passed through him.
“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and consider where I have gone wrong all these years.”
“But Dad, it’s 18 miles to our home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.” My words were useless. Dad began walking along the roads, silently, thoughtfully and painfully. For 18 miles I drove behind him.
This was the most painful experience that I had ever had. It was also the most successful lesson. I have never lied to my father since.

Perhaps you know northern Americans still maintain the habit of celebrating Groundhog Day when a large groundhog (土拨鼠) checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar (毛毛虫) known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions
According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the caterpillar has 13 segments (昆虫的节/段) to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.
Scientific studies on worm forecasting are rare. American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted a small trial in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.
Most scientists view the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just that, folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one — probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.”
Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a caterpillar and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”
8. How do people predict the weather through caterpillars
A By analyzing their living habits.
B. By measuring the change of their size.
C. By calculating the number of their segments.
D. By studying color bands on their bodies.
9. What is Howard Curran’s finding based on
A. His personal observations.
B. An investigation on the locals.
C. Studies by previous scientists.
D. Statistics collected by the museum.
10. What is Joe Boggs’s attitude towards the folklore
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
11. Which statement might Mike Peters agree with
A. The caterpillar forecasting needs long-term data to support it.
B. The color band of caterpillars can be a mirror of past weather.
C. The cold environment has a great impact on caterpillars’ growth.
D. The caterpillar can help predict the severity of winter accurately.

During the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, there was a lot of talk about the environmental efforts taken. Athletes slept on beds made from recycled cardboard. The medals were produced out of old appliances such as smartphones and laptops. Over 90% of Japanese cities, towns and villages participated in the two-year effort to collect recycled materials to produce 5000 medals. Eighty tons of small electrical devices were collected to make this project successful.
With the 2024 Olympics Games underway in Paris, new environmental efforts are coming into play. Observers will sit on chairs made of plastic recycled from local bins. This decision was made due to a lack of unused raw materials to make new seats, so the eco-construction firm Le Pave turned to make the seats out of waste. Around 11,000 seats will be made from recycled materials.
The plastic collection for Paris 2024 has been carried out in the region’s schools, and over five million coloured bottle caps have been recovered Moreover, 80% of the 100 tons of recycled plastic needed to make the seats come from the yellow bins collections. This is all part of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy to limit single-use plastic usage and encourage a circular economy.
The Olympic Games organizers are planning to make the Paris 2024 Games the greenest Olympic Games yet. They seek to apply a carbon-neutral approach that will lessen the climate impact of the Games by predicting, avoiding, reducing and balancing emissions (排放) and encouraging others to get involved. The Summer Games have released 3.6 million tons of carbon emissions in previous years. The Paris 2024 Games has set a carbon budget of 1.5 million tons which includes the emissions from construction, transportation and operations of the Games.
These plans are ambitious but are achievable. If Paris 2024 successfully reduces emissions and promotes a circular economy, it might set the standard for future Olympic and Paralympic Games, despite where they are held.
12. What were the 2020 Olympics medals made from
A. Raw metal. B. Reused plastic.
C. Used electronic devices. D. Recycled cardboard.
13. What is the purpose of the Paris 2024 “zero waste” strategy
A. To stop carbon emissions.
B. To make seats for athletes.
C. To restrict single-use plastic usage.
D. To collect coloured bottle caps.
14. What do the underlined words “carbon neutral approach” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Decrease of carbon emissions.
B. Limitation to single-use plastics.
C. Promotion of recycling in school.
D. Encouragement of a circular economy.
15. What is the author’s attitude to the plans for the Paris 2024 Games
A. Uncaring. B. Negative. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.

Tens of thousands of nature lovers see black bears and grizzly bears each year____16____But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death. If you come upon a bear in its natural setting, your first reaction may be to feel frightened. But staying safe depends on acting carefully and calmly.

He stopped and looked back, finding Shirley standing in front of a toy shop and staring at something with great interest. The boy went back to her and asked, “What do you want ” Shirley pointed at the doll, wearing a smile on her innocent face. Peter held his younger sister’s tiny hand, walking into the shop.
