75-year-old hip-hop (街舞) grandma Stephanie Walsh has gained worldwide attention with her intense dance moves and incredible energy. Better known as “Ms. Stephanie” online, Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than II million people to watch.
Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. “It’s because I’m a senior, ”said Walsh. “You don’t usually see someone my age doing hip-hop and moving like that. ”But actually, it’s more than that. Just as her profile claims, Walsh’s videos are “inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching. ”
“Dance isn’t just your body, it’s what you’re feeling inside about the dance and it’s what comes out here in your face,” Walsh said. “What I want to put through my movement is how much fun it is and how much joy it gives you.”
From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn’t have the money for classes. When she was nearly 30, she got her daughter ballet lessons, which her daughter hated. So, she took her daughter out and started classes herself right away.
Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance is what motivates her today. “Everybody has to have a passion in their life,” she said. “It’s like that saying, ‘A life without passion is a life half lived.’ I believe that.”
Walsh dances for fun and fitness, but also for therapy (心理治疗). She struggled through countless hardships, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don’t. She turns to her faith, her friends and of course, dance, to shine as an inspiration to those around her.
Gilbert, one of Walsh’s followers, says she inspires him every day. “She’s a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn’t matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters,” says Gilbert. “I am truly thankful that Walsh is teaching me at the age of 32 to live my life full and stop being so scared.”

A China plane struck a bird after taking off in Chengdu, Sichuan, and had to immediately return to the airport last October, and it wasn’t the first accident between an aircraft and a bird last year.
In fact, more than 20,000 wildlife strikes with aircraft were reported worldwide in 2023 — the vast majority of those animals being birds. The strikes can also include run-ins with bats or creatures on the ground, such as deer or turtles. Expanding wildlife populations, increases in number of aircraft movements, and a trend toward faster and quieter aireraft all have contributed to the increase in wildlife strikes.
Bird strikes are a hazard not just to commercial airplanes, but to all sorts of aircraft. However, historical data shows that damage is reported in a small percentage of incidents. Last year, 95% of the global strikes involved some kind of damage — and only 5% of those caused “substantial” damage.
Some of the most disturbing types of strikes can happen when one or more birds go into a plane’s engine, which might cause a lot of damage to the aircraft. The pilot would need to return to the airport or find a safe place to land.
In last October’s China plane incident, the Beijing-bound flight was able to land normally in Chengdu after taking into account what the airline described as security concerns. Senior captain Chen Jianguo said pilots are trained on how to respond if they have a bird strike in flight. The pilot in this case did exactly what he was trained to do.
“There are lots of things that are being used by airports to try to manage the habitat and birds around the airport,” said Chen Jianguo. Airports need to manage bird habitats to reduce or get rid of trees and plants that shelter birds, or address wetlands that can attract birds. Collecting data on what kinds of birds are involved in strikes is equally important so the risks can better be managed. Many airports also use audible signals to scare birds away, such as the sounds of fireworks.
8. What is a cause of the increase in wildlife strikes
A. The poorly designed aircraft.
B. The growing number of birds.
C. The destruction of wildlife habitats.
D. The absence of environmental awareness.
9. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Danger. B. Delay. C. Accident. D. Reminder.
10. What does the historical data tell us about bird strikes
A. They are a rare occurrence.
B. They usually damage engines.
C. Most of them cause slight damage.
D. Most of them involve one single bird.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Ways to study bird behavior.
B. Measures to drive birds away.
C. Efforts to restore bird habitat.
D. Attempts to take care of birds.
D
Suppose you come across two doctors. One is handsome while the other looks plain. Who would you trust with your surgery Most people would probably want to get treated by the handsome one. And most people are likely to be wrong about that.
When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you’ll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don’t see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them.
The halo effect was once studied by the psychologist Edward Thorndike, who asked flight commanders to evaluate their pilots in various distinct aspects such as physical appearance, intelligence, and leadership. He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either “good” or “bad”, and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo.
The halo effect also explains why some teachers give better-looking students higher grades. One study looked at the grades of 4, 500 pupils, who were sorted by volunteers into three groups: below- average, average, and above-average looking. The researchers then compared students’ grades between classes taken in conventional classrooms with those taken online where there was no face-to-face interaction. The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms.
Since the physical appearance of good-looking people seems to naturally make them also appear intelligent, strong, and trustworthy, here is one good rule. If you meet with an accident and have to choose between two equally qualified doctors, ignore their halo and choose the less handsome one. He might have worked twice as hard to gain the same reputation and is likely better at his job.
12. What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A. To explore a natural wonder.
B. To spread scientific knowledge.
C. To explain a psychological tendency.
D To interpret social rules at the workplace.
13. How did the commanders tend to evaluate their pilots in Thorndike’s study
A. In a general way. B. With common sense.
C. From a specific aspect. D. By an objective criterion.
14. What does the 4500-pupil study find about better-looking students
A. They were fairly treated by their teachers.
B They were less attentive in online courses.
C. They probably had natural learning abilities.
D. They were overvalued in conventional classes.
15. What can be learned about the halo effect
A. It relieves appearance anxiety.
B. It leads to inaccurate judgments.
C. It causes trust crisis among people.
D. It intensifies workplace competition.

They were waiting for William’s friends to arrive and celebrate his long-awaited birthday party.

Feeling a sense of guilt for his son’s disappointment, Steven decided to turn to social media for help. He posted a lovely picture of him and William on the beach.

William’s wish for companionship produced a strong response from the local people. They flooded the post with messages of support, birthday wishes, and offers to join the celebration. They were determined to make William’s day special.

Airports need to manage bird habitats to reduce or get rid of trees and plants that shelter birds, or address wetlands that can attract birds. Collecting data on what kinds of birds are involved in strikes is equally important so the risks can better be managed. Many airports also use audible signals to scare birds away, such as the sounds of fireworks.
8. What is a cause of the increase in wildlife strikes
A. The poorly designed aircraft.
B. The growing number of birds.
C. The destruction of wildlife habitats.
D. The absence of environmental awareness.
9. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Danger. B. Delay. C. Accident. D. Reminder.
10. What does the historical data tell us about bird strikes
A. They are a rare occurrence.
B. They usually damage engines.
C. Most of them cause slight damage.
D. Most of them involve one single bird.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Ways to study bird behavior.
B. Measures to drive birds away.
C. Efforts to restore bird habitat.
D. Attempts to take care of birds.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了野生动物袭击飞机的事件，包括其袭击者、起因、造成的损坏，以及机场方面应对和减少这种事件的方法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Expanding wildlife populations, increases in number of aircraft movements, and a trend toward faster and quieter aireraft all have contributed to the increase in wildlife strikes. (野生动物数量的增加，飞机起降次数的增加，以及飞机速度更快、噪音更小的趋势，都导致了野生动物袭击事件的增加)”可知，野生动物袭击事件的增加的起因包括鸟类数量的增加。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句的下文“However, historical data shows that damage is reported in a small percentage of incidents. (然而，历史数据显示，只有一小部分事故报告了损坏)”可知，只有一小部分野生动物袭击事件涉及损坏，且此处涉及转折，因此鸟撞事件本身的确对飞机来说是一种危险，但是造成的损坏却不多，hazard意思应该是“危险”，与danger意思相近。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, historical data shows that damage is reported in a small percentage of incidents. Last year, 95% of the global strikes involved some kind of damage — and only 5% of those caused “substantial” damage. (然而，历史数据显示，只有一小部分事故报告了损坏。去年，95%的全球袭击造成了某种程度的损失，其中只有5%造成了“实质性”损失)”可知，大多数鸟撞事件会造成轻微的损害。故选C项。
【11题详解】
段落大意题。根据最后一段中“There are lots of things that are being used by airports to try to manage the habitat and birds around the airport (机场正在使用很多方法来管理机场周围的栖息地和鸟类)”和“Airports need to manage bird habitats to reduce or get rid of trees and plants that shelter birds, or address wetlands that can attract birds. Collecting data on what kinds of birds are involved in strikes is equally important so the risks can better be managed. Many airports also use audible signals to scare birds away, such as the sounds of fireworks. (机场需要管理鸟类栖息地，以减少或消除为鸟类提供庇护地的树木和植物，或者处理可以吸引鸟类的湿地。收集哪些鸟类卷入袭击的数据同样重要，这样可以更好地管理风险。许多机场还使用声音信号来吓跑鸟类，比如烟花的声音)”可知，本段主要介绍了机场管理周围的栖息地和鸟类，以赶走鸟类的各种方法。故选B项。
D
Suppose you come across two doctors. One is handsome while the other looks plain. Who would you trust with your surgery Most people would probably want to get treated by the handsome one. And most people are likely to be wrong about that.
When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you’ll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don’t see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them.
The halo effect was once studied by the psychologist Edward Thorndike, who asked flight commanders to evaluate their pilots in various distinct aspects such as physical appearance, intelligence, and leadership. He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either “good” or “bad”, and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo.
The halo effect also explains why some teachers give better-looking students higher grades. One study looked at the grades of 4, 500 pupils, who were sorted by volunteers into three groups: below- average, average, and above-average looking. The researchers then compared students’ grades between classes taken in conventional classrooms with those taken online where there was no face-to-face interaction. The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms.
Since the physical appearance of good-looking people seems to naturally make them also appear intelligent, strong, and trustworthy, here is one good rule. If you meet with an accident and have to choose between two equally qualified doctors, ignore their halo and choose the less handsome one. He might have worked twice as hard to gain the same reputation and is likely better at his job.
12. What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A. To explore a natural wonder.
B. To spread scientific knowledge.
C. To explain a psychological tendency.
D. To interpret social rules at the workplace.
13. How did the commanders tend to evaluate their pilots in Thorndike’s study
A. In a general way. B. With common sense.
C. From a specific aspect. D. By an objective criterion.
14. What does the 4500-pupil study find about better-looking students
A. They were fairly treated by their teachers.
B. They were less attentive in online courses.
C. They probably had natural learning abilities.
D. They were overvalued in conventional classes.
15. What can be learned about the halo effect
A. It relieves appearance anxiety.
B. It leads to inaccurate judgments.
C. It causes trust crisis among people.
D. It intensifies workplace competition.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了光环效应的表现和影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you’ll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don’t see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them. (当你看太阳的时候，你有时会看得很清楚。但有时你会看到它比实际形状大得多。被称为光晕的光圈使它看起来更大。这种效应被称为光环效应，当一个人、产品或公司像太阳一样发光时也会发生。然后我们就看不清它们，把各种不相关的品质和它们联系在一起。)”可知，第二段的目的是解释一种心理倾向，即光环效应。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either “good” or “bad”, and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo. (他发现，那些在外貌上得分高的飞行员，在智力和领导能力上也得分高——这种联系似乎是错误的。看来指挥官们无法独立于他人来评价具体的品质。他们从广义上看待飞行员，要么“好”，要么“坏”，并让这种总体感觉影响他们认为飞行员具有的具体品质。一些飞行员从他们的光环中获利。)”可知，指挥官们倾向于用总体感觉来评估他们的飞行员。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms. (研究人员发现，与传统课堂相比，被评为长得好看的学生在网络课程上的成绩明显较低。)”可知，长相更好的学生在传统课堂被高估了。故选D。

(研究人员发现，与传统课堂相比，被评为长得好看的学生在网络课程上的成绩明显较低。)”可知，光环效应会导致不准确的判断。故选B。

As the afternoon sun bathed the local beach with its warm, golden rays, four-year-old William sat on the beach with a mix of expectation and confusion. His dad, Steven, sat by his side. They were waiting for William’s friends to arrive and celebrate his long-awaited birthday party. William’s wide eyes, filled with hope and happiness, stared at the shoreline, looking for familiar faces.
He kept asking his dad where everyone was, and Steven just told him “they’re coming soon, ”trying to ease his son’s growing impatience. But the longer they waited, the more hopeless William became. He was extremely disappointed when the two invited families called and said they couldn’t make it to the celebration because of unexpected situations.
Steven watched his son, who had been eagerly expecting his special day for what seemed like ages. This year, William had been more aware than ever of his upcoming birthday, asking throughout the month when his birthday was, eagerly expecting a good time.
Feeling a sense of guilt for his son’s disappointment, Steven decided to turn to social media for help. He posted a lovely picture of him and William on the beach. Their faces were filled with a mix of hope and disappointment. The sincere words with the picture read, “William would love some friends to play with on the beach. To celebrate his fourth birthday, he has Hot Wheels, sand toys, dinosaurs, and we have some snacks and drinks. Any and all welcome. ”
William’s wish for companionship produced a strong response from the local people. They flooded the post with messages of support, birthday wishes, and offers to join the celebration. They were determined to make William’s day special.
“Going there. See you soon, ”one warm-hearted local commented on the post, promising to bring her family along. The message aroused the same feeling from many others, who were quick to follow suit.
