Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape, they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital
Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very dificult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁) . She was walking on the strect one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.
Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.
In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds.

Exposure (暴露) to more light during the day and less light at night is important for healthy sleep because it helps to keep the right body clock, the study team writes in Sleep Heath. The results suggest that in the office environment, being exposed either to daylight or electric lights may be important for the health of workers. “Many office buildings may actually be moving in the direction of reducing light,” said Figueiro. “Much has been done to reduce light levels to promote energy efficiency, which is important, but we may be going too far in this direction. ” She added, “We need to start thinking about how we light our daytime environment. ”
To see whether office workers get enough light to improve their sleep-wake cycle, the study team found participants (参与者) in five government office buildings across the country. A total of 109 people working at the offices wore something that could measure light for one week in summertime, and 81 of these participants repeated the experiment (实验) in winter as well. The office workers wrote down their sleep and wake time and completed a form of questions about their mood and sleep quality at the end of each study period.
Researchers found that people exposed to greater amounts of light during the morning hours, between 8 am and noon, fell asleep more quickly at night compared to those exposed to low light in the morning. People getting more morning light were also less likely to report feelings of stress. Office workers exposed to high levels of light all day, from 8 am to 5 pm, also reported lower levels of sleep disorders.
A lack of good quality sleep has been connected with mental and physical health problems, including those with mood, thinking and the immune system. There are many easy things we can do during the day to increase our exposure to sunlight that could have beneficial effects on mood and sleep, such as looking out of the window, seeking light during the day, especially during the morning, and going out during lunch time.
8. What is Figueiro’s attitude towards light reduction
A. Worried. B. Scared. C. Excited. D. Interested.
9 How did the researchers draw the conclusion
A. By changing workers’ sleep-wake cycle. B. By doing experiments in different seasons.
C. By collecting some questions from workers. D. By designing a new light-measuring method.
10. Which of the following statements might the researchers agree with
A. People getting more morning light get tired easily.
B. People getting more morning light feel less stressed.
C. People exposed to less night light wake up quickly.
D. People exposed to less night light have sleep disorders.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Many office buildings are reducing light.
B. Many office workers lack good quality sleep.
C. People’s sleep-wake cycle is important for health.
D Enough daylight is of great benefit to office workers.
D
Have you ever left a movie theater with a mixed feeling about what you just watched No Well, you definitely haven’t seen the movie “Nope(不)”. This 2022 movie is a sci-fi horror. But despite having the amazing director Jordan Peele and the wonderful actors, this film still manages to be the worst I’ve ever seen.
In the movie “Nope”, it shows us a western 1998 setting where we follow a brother, OJ, and a sister, Emerald Haywood. Emerald is a fun and entertaining woman, while OJ is shy but outspoken when necessary. They run a large horse farm. They observe something mysterious in the sky, which they later learn is a UFO. This UFO is eating people who are watching horse races. To help their horse farm, they try their best to beat the monster.
Daniel Kaluuya is a good actor and has experienced playing in horror movies. In the movie, he did a good job at playing the role of OJ until he took a turn for the worse, going from a shy person to a hero who leads his group to success without any visible (可见的) growth. That makes his character challenging for the audience to understand. I love Keke Palmer’s humor and energy in the movie, but it gets to a point where she is too active, which makes her character Emerald unpleasant.
Many scenes in the movie are extended not to create suspense (悬念) but simply to add screen time. That makes the two hours feel like four. There are many storylines that end as quickly as they begin, with seemingly no point. The film is a far cry from horror and suspense. It is just an alien story with some seeming scares in between. Jordan Peele tried to make the movie symbolic, which made him blind to the idea that movies are supposed to be entertaining to watch. This movie is not for you if you are a true suspense and horror fan. If you ask me if you should watch it or not, I’d say “Nope.”
12. What do you know about the movie
A. It is a western film. B. It is the worst movie.
C. It is set in ancient times. D. It is popular with horror fans.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The response of the audience. B. The suggestion on the acting.
C. The comparison of the actors. D. The opinion on the characters.
14. What is the main reason for the movie’s failure according to paragraph 4
A. The long period B. The wrong director
C. The worthless plots D. The old-fashioned theme.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. “Nope” is a nope for me B. What an entertaining film!
C. Jordan Peele’s new movie D. Should a horror be horrible

Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape, they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital
Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very dificult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁) . She was walking on the strect one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.
Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.
In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds.

Exposure (暴露) to more light during the day and less light at night is important for healthy sleep because it helps to keep the right body clock, the study team writes in Sleep Heath. The results suggest that in the office environment, being exposed either to daylight or electric lights may be important for the health of workers. “Many office buildings may actually be moving in the direction of reducing light,” said Figueiro. “Much has been done to reduce light levels to promote energy efficiency, which is important, but we may be going too far in this direction. ” She added, “We need to start thinking about how we light our daytime environment. ”
To see whether office workers get enough light to improve their sleep-wake cycle, the study team found participants (参与者) in five government office buildings across the country. A total of 109 people working at the offices wore something that could measure light for one week in summertime, and 81 of these participants repeated the experiment (实验) in winter as well. The office workers wrote down their sleep and wake time and completed a form of questions about their mood and sleep quality at the end of each study period.
Researchers found that people exposed to greater amounts of light during the morning hours, between 8 am and noon, fell asleep more quickly at night compared to those exposed to low light in the morning. People getting more morning light were also less likely to report feelings of stress. Office workers exposed to high levels of light all day, from 8 am to 5 pm, also reported lower levels of sleep disorders.
A lack of good quality sleep has been connected with mental and physical health problems, including those with mood, thinking and the immune system. There are many easy things we can do during the day to increase our exposure to sunlight that could have beneficial effects on mood and sleep, such as looking out of the window, seeking light during the day, especially during the morning, and going out during lunch time.
8. What is Figueiro’s attitude towards light reduction
A. Worried. B. Scared. C. Excited. D. Interested.
9. How did the researchers draw the conclusion
A. By changing workers’ sleep-wake cycle. B. By doing experiments in different seasons.
C. By collecting some questions from workers. D. By designing a new light-measuring method.
10. Which of the following statements might the researchers agree with
A. People getting more morning light get tired easily.
B. People getting more morning light feel less stressed.
C. People exposed to less night light wake up quickly.
D. People exposed to less night light have sleep disorders.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Many office buildings are reducing light.
B. Many office workers lack good quality sleep.
C. People’s sleep-wake cycle is important for health.
D. Enough daylight is of great benefit to office workers.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D

推理判断题。根据第一段““Much has been done to reduce light levels to promote energy efficiency, which is important, but we may be going too far in this direction. ” She added, “We need to start thinking about how we light our daytime environment. ”(“为了提高能源效率，我们已经做了很多工作来降低光照水平，这很重要，但我们可能在这个方向上走得太远了。”她补充说：“我们需要开始考虑如何照亮我们的白天环境。”)”可推知，菲格罗对减少灯光的态度是担忧的。故选A。

Have you ever left a movie theater with a mixed feeling about what you just watched No Well, you definitely haven’t seen the movie “Nope(不)”. This 2022 movie is a sci-fi horror. But despite having the amazing director Jordan Peele and the wonderful actors, this film still manages to be the worst I’ve ever seen.
In the movie “Nope”, it shows us a western 1998 setting where we follow a brother, OJ, and a sister, Emerald Haywood. Emerald is a fun and entertaining woman, while OJ is shy but outspoken when necessary. They run a large horse farm. They observe something mysterious in the sky, which they later learn is a UFO. This UFO is eating people who are watching horse races. To help their horse farm, they try their best to beat the monster.
Daniel Kaluuya is a good actor and has experienced playing in horror movies. In the movie, he did a good job at playing the role of OJ until he took a turn for the worse, going from a shy person to a hero who leads his group to success without any visible (可见的) growth. That makes his character challenging for the audience to understand. I love Keke Palmer’s humor and energy in the movie, but it gets to a point where she is too active, which makes her character Emerald unpleasant.
Many scenes in the movie are extended not to create suspense (悬念) but simply to add screen time. That makes the two hours feel like four. There are many storylines that end as quickly as they begin, with seemingly no point. The film is a far cry from horror and suspense. It is just an alien story with some seeming scares in between. Jordan Peele tried to make the movie symbolic, which made him blind to the idea that movies are supposed to be entertaining to watch. This movie is not for you if you are a true suspense and horror fan. If you ask me if you should watch it or not, I’d say “Nope.”
12. What do you know about the movie
A. It is a western film. B. It is the worst movie.
C. It is set in ancient times. D. It is popular with horror fans.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The response of the audience. B. The suggestion on the acting.
C. The comparison of the actors. D. The opinion on the characters.
14. What is the main reason for the movie’s failure according to paragraph 4
A. The long period B. The wrong director
C. The worthless plots D. The old-fashioned theme.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. “Nope” is a nope for me B. What an entertaining film!
C. Jordan Peele’s new movie D. Should a horror be horrible
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A

In the movie, he did a good job at playing the role of OJ until he took a turn for the worse, going from a shy person to a hero who leads his group to success without any visible (可见的) growth. That makes his character challenging for the audience to understand. I love Keke Palmer’s humor and energy in the movie, but it gets to a point where she is too active, which makes her character Emerald unpleasant.(丹尼尔·卡卢亚是一名优秀的演员，曾出演过恐怖电影。在电影中，他很好地扮演了OJ的角色，直到他开始走下坡路，从一个害羞的人变成了一个英雄，带领他的团队走向成功，没有任何明显的成长。这使得观众很难理解他的角色。我喜欢柯克·帕尔默在电影中的幽默和活力，但她过于活跃了，这让她的角色翡翠不讨人喜欢)”可知，第三段的主要内容是对人物的看法。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“There are many storylines that end as quickly as they begin, with seemingly no point.(有许多故事情节开头和结尾一样快，似乎没有任何意义)”可知，电影失败的主要原因是毫无价值的情节。故选C。
