As far as fantastic drives go, few can compete with Highway 395. Here’s what you need to know before starting a road trip along it.
▲ What to Know About Driving on Highway 395
Highway 395 begins in Hesperia, a city about 90 minutes east of Los Angeles. It then continues for 1,300 miles until its end point at the Canadian border (边界). While the entire drive is beautiful, its most famous section runs from the Los Angeles area up to Reno, Nevada.
▲ Where to Stop Along Highway 395
CONVICT LAKE
Convict Lake, one of California’s clearest bodies of water, is a beloved destination for photographers. During your drive, you can pull over for a photo, or quickly hop on a boat and cast a fishing line to see what you can catch.

Just around the corner, you’ll find Mammoth Mountain, one of America’s best ski destinations. Mammoth is renowned for its extended ski season, often lasting until July, and offers excellent terrain (地形) for all skill levels.
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
During your drive, pay n visit to Yosemite National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, you can watch climbers make their way up Half Dome, feel the power of Yosemite Falls, and enjoy the beauty of Tuolumne Meadows.

The 13-year-old Life Scout (童子军) named Jonathan in Troop 506 is pioneering new ways to perform acts of kindness.
Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn each fall to raise money. In 2019, while still a Cub Scout, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales walked across a stage to receive a Lego set as a prize. “I really want that Lego set,” he said.
The next year, he successfully got his Legos. However, Troop 506 not only provides Lego sets but also contributes a percentage of their sales in the form of gift cards for Scouting-related activities. Encouraged, Jonathan spent the next few years developing a surprising sale skill.
The year 2021 saw him achieve impressive sales of $46,193.75, making him a top seller in the nation and bringing him $5,000 worth in Amazon cards, He might have spent it on himself, but he had other ideas. Popcorn season closes in late November, and the holidays were on his mind—particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster (寄养) care.
“They don’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan said. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. With the help of his mother, he made his way to the social services offices.
Anyone else might have simply sent in the money and felt they’d done enough. Not Jonathan. He requested information about each kid, including age, gender and interests. He changed from a big seller to a big spender, personally choosing gifts for dozens of kids, like a Santa (圣诞老人).
“The most worthwhile thing,” he said, “is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.”
24. What encouraged Jonathan to improve his selling techniques
A. The Lego set to be received as a prize. B. The money to be raised by selling popcorn.
C. The cards that could be gained to buy goods. D. The praise that a sales champion would win.
25. Why is Jonathan’s father mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To explain why Jonathan had other ideas.
B. To show how his father’s story impressed him.
C. To compare lifestyles of two different generations.
D. To provide information about Jonathan’s childhood.
26. Which of the following can best describe Jonathan
A. Outgoing and selfless. B. Brave and smart.
C. Thoughtful and caring. D. Gifted and honest.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Scout Helps in Social Service Offices B. A Scout Sells a Record Amount of Popcorn
C. A Scout Changes from a Seller to a Spender D. A Scout Plays Santa for Kids in Foster Care
C
Choosing a hotel, restaurant or new product can be a difficult task. There’s so much on offer, and making a mistake can be expensive. This is why many people turn to online reviews—opinions and information written by people who have used a service or bought a product. But can we trust them
About 70% of Americans say they believe online user reviews, According to experts, this is because when we read a review by another consumer, we feel like we’re getting a personal recommendation from a friend. But a recent study shows that about one third of online review s are fake. Apparently, companies are so desperate for good reviews that they’ve started to “play” the system. So, how do they do it
One trick is to give positive review s to your own product or service. Best-selling writer RJ Ellory was recently caught writing 5- starreviewsofhisownbooksonAmazon.com. Using a pen name, he called one of his books a “modern masterpiece (杰作)” and said another would “touch people’s hearts”. RJ also wrote negative review s of his competitors’ books.
Another trick is to “buy” good reviews. Last year, the Cove Hotel in Cornwall was caught giving guests discounts if they wrote “honest but positive” reviews on TripAdvisor. The trick worked—one guest called The Cove “a dream comes true”. Some people are even making a living by writing favourable reviews. In 2010, American Todd Rutherford started . For $99, Todd would write a positive review of your book on Amazon.com; and for $999, he’d write 50 reviews.
So, how can you tell a fake review First, if the reviewer uses lots of highly positive language, it’s probably fake, Secondly, if the review reads like an advertisement, it probably is an ad. And finally, if the review is negative but also speaks highly of a competitor, it might have been written by that competitor.
28. The author introduces the topic of the text in paragraph 1 by ______.
A. discussing some questions B. describing a common situation
C. presenting different opinions D. analyzing a specific example
29. What does the underlined word “fake” in paragraph 2 mean
A. False. B. Fair. C. Honest. D. Disappointing.
30. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. Positive review s can touch people’s hearts.
B. Companies use the reviewing system to their advantage.
C. Many hotels pay guests to write positive review s for them.
D. Writing reviews is a major source of income for Internet users.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Features of some types of online reviews.
B. Reasons behind choices of online reviews.
C. Suggestions on how to judge online reviews.
D. Ways to tell positive online views from negative ones.
D
With their beautiful feathers, roosters (公鸡) might be forgiven for secretly taking quick looks in the mirror—especially as research now suggests the birds may be able to recognise themselves.
The ability to recognise oneself in the mirror has so far been found in a handful of animals, including elephants, dolphins, and ce rtain fish and birds. Sonja Hillemacher, one of the authors of the study at the University of Bonn, said animals that can recognise themselves in a mirror often seemed to have more advanced cognitive (认知的) abilities, and that there was a link to social and emotional wisdom, as well as self-awareness. “This ability is a basic aspect of cognition. It is also important for us,” she said.
Writing in the journal Plos One, Hillemacher and her colleagues note that roosters tend to call out to their fellow chickens if they see a threat. If a rooster is alone, however, it does not usually raise the alarm as it could draw the enemy’s attention.
In the experiment, the team placed a rooster in an indoor space and then placed a mirror, or another rooster, or nothing. The team then showed the image of a flying hawk (鹰) onto the ceiling in the space.
The results from 58 roosters found that the birds made far more alarm calls when they could see another rooster nearby, with 1.33 alarm calls per bird on average over three tests, than when alone (0.29 calls on average) or faced with the mirror (0.43 calls on average). In the follow-up experiment, the team found a similar reduction in calls when they placed a second rooster out of sight behind the mirror. The team said the findings suggest the birds did not regard their reflection as another rooster, even when there was also the presence of smell and sound of a second bird, which proves that roosters may recognise themselves in a mirror.
32. What does the new study led by Sonjn Hillemacher show
A. Only a few animals can recognise themselves in a mirror.
B. Some animals have cognitive abilities similar to humans.
C. Roosters will enjoy their own beauty when looking in a mirror.
D. Roosters may have the ability to recognise themselves in a mirror.
33. What is the purpose of paragraph 3
A. To stress the importance of the research.
B. To provide the scientific basis for the research.
C. To explain reasons for carrying out the research.
D. To offer details of the preparation for the research.
34. What do we know about how the experiments were conducted
A. A flying hawk was put in an indoor space.
B. A second rooster was placed near a mirror.
C. Different conditions were set to test the roosters.
D. Separate areas were needed to group the roosters.
35. How did the roosters react in the experiments
A. They made only a bit more alarm calls with a second rooster in sight.
B. They made fewer alarm calls when faced with a mirror than when alone.
C. They made more than one alarm call in each test with another rooster in sight.
D. They made similarly fewer alar m calls when another rooster was hidden nearby.

The lost joy of postcards
Trust me on this, traveler: Sending picture postcards to friends and family spreads joy back home and in the process shows aspects of your destination you’d otherwise miss. 36
You’ve already guessed, from your own mailbox perhaps, that sending picture postcards is a dying art. 37 These days fewer than 5 million are sold, and many of these are for souvenirs (纪念品), not mailing. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter are responsible.
I avoid social media, mostly on sociopolitical grounds. So instead of brag (吹嘘) posts of my travels, I let people know where I am and that I’m thinking of them by sending postcards. And not just any postcards. 38 Whatever the subject, they have to be of highest quality, not the 10 for $1 variety.
39 Because that’s impersonal (无人情味的). Because your friends haven’t received one in years. Send to delight them! To surprise them! To be different from the crowd on social media.
Well, what to write once you’ve gotten the cards and the stamps Here’s the thing: postcards are small. It’s the thought that counts, truly. 40 Maybe you won’t be traveling for a while, but so what Send a postcard from wherever you are. The “like” and smile you’ll get will be just as warm.
A. I shop for them with an authority’s eyes.
B. Postcard senders also learn a lot about hotel culture.
C. I know this because I am an addictive picture postcard sender.
D. Years ago, tens of millions of them were sent worldwide yearly.
E. It’s puzzling how different the prices to send a postcard abroad are.
F. The receivers will be surprised and pleased no matter what you write.
G. Why send them when a big hello on Instagram to everyone you know is so easy

One sunny afternoon as I sat on my back porch, I noticed my loyal dog Louie playing in the yard. Suddenly, barking (吠叫) 41 , he rushed to the chicken cage.

Dear fellow members,
To raise students’ awareness of cultural heritage protection, our club is going to organize an activity themed “Learning about the cultural heritage around you”.
I’ve drafted a plan for it. First, a lecture on cultural heritage preservation is arranged to provide guidance on how to contribute to it. What follows is a field trip to a nearby cultural heritage site, enabling students to understand its significance.
Now I’d like to invite your valuable suggestions and opinions. I’m sure we can make this activity a great success with our joint efforts.
Thanks for attention.
