When Mark Anthony Gonzales saw a police officer in need of assistance, every element of the moral code installed in him through his Brazilian jiu-jitsu (巴西柔术) training — morality, courage, benevolence (仁爱) — told him to stop his car and lend a hand, even though his wife, Rachel Ortiz, and his four kids were in the car.
The suspect, a balding man of medium build, was running from a police officer in San Antonio, Texas. Gonzales slowed down. So did the man being chased — to avoid running into Gonzales’s minivan. That hesitation allowed the officer to catch up and take the suspect to the ground. But Gonzales quickly realized that the officer did not have control of the situation with the suspect struggling fiercely.
Gonzales put his vehicle in park and jumped out, as did Ortiz. The first thing Gonzales did was identify himself and spell out his intention to make it two-on-one in the officer’s favor and not the other way around.
Then, with the man on his back and the officer struggling to control the man’s upper body, Gonzales put his weight on the man’s legs. Seconds later, when the suspect rolled onto his stomach, Gonzales used techniques he’d learned in the gym: digging his knee into the suspect’s el bow and pulling the suspect’s head toward him to maintain control from the side. He then applied an underhook — a jiu-jitsu move where the hands are placed under the opponent’s arm to control the shoulder and upper body — and tugged until, after a few seconds, the suspect’s shoulder gave out. The officer clicked on the handcuffs and the threat was over.
Gonzales had asked his wife to record everything to protect him just in case anything was called into question. But Ortiz posted the video on Facebook, where it attracted over 56 million views.
Among those awed by the video was Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Rener Gracie, a fourth-degree black belt, who stated: “The combination of Gonzales’s technique and his calm communication with both the officer and suspect is the stuff of legends!”
24. Why did Gonzales stop his car
A. To protect his family. B. To uphold justice.
C. To show his courage. D. To perform jiu-jitsu.
25. What did Gonzales do first when he came to the officer
A. He joined in the two-on-one fight. B. He persuaded the suspect to give in.
C. He warned the policeman of danger. D. He declared his identity and intention.
26. Why did Gonzales ask Ortiz to shoot the video
A. To record his heroic deeds. B. To avoid getting in trouble.
C. To attract views on Facebook. D. To expose the suspect’s behavior.
27. What’s the best title of the article
A. Jiu-jitsu Makes A Legend B. A Victory Of Two-on-one
C. Lending A Well-Trained Hand D. Justice Has Long Arms
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. C

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics employees over 50 make up more than one-third of the workforce in the United States. And the labor force aged 75 and older is expected to increase by 96.5% by 2030. As the workforce ages and increasing numbers of grandparents care for their grandchildren, what once was intended for new parents is now applied to grandparents. Some workplaces are offering a new paid leave policy (政策) for older workers—grandternity leave.
As the name suggests, one of the most popular use cases for grandternity leave is employees taking time off when they become grandparents to help care for their grandchildren. It also enables employees to take paid leave to deal with medical treatment, spend time with their families, and take time away from work as needed.
In a competitive labor market with more than 10 million open jobs, employers still struggle to retain senior employees. They fall under the Baby Boomer generation and are characterized by their deep love for work and company responsibility. They are prized for their historical knowledge and old-fashioned work ethic (职业道德). Therefore, employers are seeking new, nontraditional benefits for these employees to prevent them from taking another job. Grandternity leave is just one example of personalized benefits suitable for older workers.
A handful of companies are already starting to offer their own form of grandternity leave. For example, Saga has rolled out a five-day paid grandternity leave to its 2,500 employees. Scott Merry, a 57-year-old IT specialist with Saga took grandternity leave to care for his new-born grandson. “It was just wonderful. It’s nice to work in this type of culture which values family time.” he said. Another company that became an early adopter (使用者) is HireVue. “Attracting and employing a various workforce should be top of mind for any organization,” said one of HireVue’s managers. “Offering a variety of benefits like grandternity leave is key to that.”
28. What does paragraph 1 focus on about the policy
A. Its application. B. Its influences. C. Its limitations. D. Its background.
29. What does the underlined word “retain” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Cut down. B. Kick out. C. Hold onto. D. Pay for.
30. What can be inferred about Grandternity leave from the last paragraph
A. It is a win-win practice. B. It has been adopted widely.
C. It has a two-sided nature. D. It is key to business success.
31. What is the purpose of this text
A. To introduce a new paid leave. B. To call for better working conditions.
C. To recommend several leading companies. D. To warn of the effect of population ageing.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. A
【解析】

【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Therefore, employers are seeking new, nontraditional benefits for these employees to prevent them from taking another job.(因此，雇主们正在为这些员工寻求新、非传统的福利，以防止他们换工作)”可知，雇主们在努力保留资深员工。故划线词意思是“保留”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A handful of companies are already starting to offer their own form of grandternity leave. For example, Saga has rolled out a five-day paid grandternity leave to its 2,500 employees.

D
Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known attractions. Reverse tourism (逆向旅游) has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased ten times at a minimum. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit (两位数的) growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up to 15.78 percent year-over-year.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters.
Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As preventive measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.
“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underestimated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.
32. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 tell us
A. The popularity of travel agency in China.
B. The high income of hotels during holidays.
C. The contributions of tourism to the economy.
D. The increasing trend of reverse tourism in China.
33. What may be the root cause of the rise of reverse tourism
A. The impact of COVID-19.
B. Holidaymakers’ changing needs for travel.
C. The lower cost of heading to less-traveled places.
D. The lack of innovative improvements in famous attractions.
34. What does Zhengzhou Daily think of reverse tourism
A. It will drop with the recovery of economy.
B. It benefits both tourists and the tourism market.
C. It is beneficial to spread local culture to tourists.
D. It blocks the development of some popular resorts.
35. What is Jiang Han’s advice on developing the tourism market
A. Upgrading the supporting facilities in tourist areas.
B. Improving the management rules of tourist attractions further.
C. Exploring the potential and features of lesser-known attractions.
D. Promoting the local characteristics of China through online media.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is believed that it’s dangerous to have plants in the bedroom. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO ) and produce oxygen (氧气) in the day. ____36____. The build-up of CO is a real problem for indoor air quality, which has been shown to influence health, so it is easy to see where the concern comes from. But to consider whether sharing our bedroom with our plants can harm health, we should consider three things.
Firstly, how much CO do plants produce at night compared with what they take in during the day ____37____ For the answer depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature.
Thankfully, in 2015, researchers at Turkey’s Kastamonu University found that large houseplants take in between six and eight times as much CO2 in the day as they produce at night.
____38____ A single human breath contains around 40, 000 ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours, so you might want to throw your partner out before your plants.
Finally, we don’t live in the sealed (密封的) boxes in which these studies are carried out. ____39____ The air is even exchanged when we move around. According to one recent review, we need houseplants to keep indoor air fresh, and to fight some pollution. ____40____
Let’s enjoy houseplants whenever we like, because if sleeping near plants were bad for our health, camping in a forest would be deadly.
A. This is hard to answer.
B. So, they are quite necessary.
C. The question has more than one answer.
D. Besides, we often share a room with someone else.
E. Indoor air is being exchanged through doors and windows.
F. At night they compete with us for the air we breathe while asleep.
G. Secondly, compare the influence of a plant with that of a person sharing a room.
【答案】36. F 37. A 38. G 39. E 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，说明了和植物共用卧室是否会损害健康，并告诉我们植物对我们的重要性。
【36题详解】
根据前文“It is believed that it’s dangerous to have plants in the bedroom. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO ) and produce oxygen (氧气) in the day.(人们认为卧室里有植物是危险的。植物在白天吸收二氧化碳(CO )并产生氧气)”及后文“The build-up of CO is a real problem for indoor air quality, which has been shown to influence health, so it is easy to see where the concern comes from.(二氧化碳的积累是影响健康的室内空气质量的真正问题，因此很容易看出担忧的来源)”可知，空处描述人们认为卧室夜间摆放植物危害的原因，F选项“在晚上，它们与我们争夺我们睡觉时呼吸的空气”解释原因。故选F项。
【37题详解】
空前“Firstly, how much CO do plants produce at night compared with what they take in during the day (首先，与白天吸收的二氧化碳相比，植物在晚上产生多少CO ？)”提出问题，表明“植物在夜间产生的二氧化碳与白天吸收的相比有多少？”后文“For the answer depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature.(因为答案取决于各种因素，从物种到光照水平，甚至是室温)”可知，这个问题是难以回答的，A选项“这个问题很难回答”符合语境。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据前文firstly，后文finally及后文“A single human breath contains around 40, 000 ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours, so you might want to throw your partner out before your plants.(一个人的呼吸中含有大约40000ppm的二氧化碳，是一株植物在8小时内释放的二氧化碳的10倍以上，所以你可能想在你的植物之前把你的伴侣扔出去)”可知，该空应讲第二点，且把植物和人作比较，G选项“其次，比较一棵植物和一个人共用一个房间的影响”符合语境，引起下文。故选G项。
【39题详解】
前文“Finally, we don’t live in the sealed (密封的) boxes in which these studies are carried out.(最后，我们并不生活在进行这些研究的密封盒子里)”及后文“The air is even exchanged when we move around.(当我们走动时，空气也在交换)”可知，E选项“室内空气通过门窗进行交换”表明与植物对比，人的生活空间与外界相连，没有处在研究实验条件下，空气是流通的，且解释下一句。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“According to one recent review, we need houseplants to keep indoor air fresh, and to fight some pollution.(根据最近的一篇综述，我们需要室内植物来保持室内空气新鲜，并对抗一些污染)”可知，植物对我们是重要的，B选项“所以，它们是非常必要的”中they指代植物，符合前文语境。故选B项。

A. which B. where C. in which D. what
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意：这是卖童装的商店吗？设空处引导定语从句修饰名词the shop，设空处指代先行词在从句中作主语，指物，用关系代词which。故选A。
57. They lost their way in the forest, and ________ made matters worse was that night began to fall.
A. that B. it
C. what D. which
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句引导词。句意：他们在森林里迷路了，更糟糕的是天开始黑了。根据连词and可知，本句需要一个引导主语从句的连接词，该词同时还要能在从句里充当主语。that不能在句中作成分；it不能引导主语从句；which意为“哪一个”，不符合本句语境。排除A、B、D三项。故选C。
58. _______I admit that the problems are difficult, I don’t agree that they can’t be solved.
A. While B. When C. As D. Because
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查连词辨析。句意：虽然我承认这些问题很难，但我不同意这些问题无法解决。A.while当……时，在……期间，尽管；B. when当……时；C. As因为，随着，尽管；D. because因为，由于。根据句意可知，设空处引导让步状语从句，填连词while，as引导让步状语从句时，把作表语的名词、形容词，作状语的副词，以及情态动词或助动词之后的动词原形提到句首，构成倒装。故选A。
59. In the past years more and more foreigners _______ in my hometown.
A. are seen B. have been seen C. were seen D. would be seen
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：在过去的几年里，越来越多的外国人出现在我的家乡。根据句子中时间状语“In the past years”可知，本句需要使用现在完成时；分析句意可知，越来越多的外国人是被人看到的，应该使用被动语态，故选B项。
60. That was the first time they _______ in ten years.
A. met B. have met C. had met D. had been met
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：那是他们十年来第一次见面。固定句型：This/That/It was the first/second/…time (that)...意为“这/那是第几次……”，主句是一般过去时，从句用过去完成时。故选C项。
61. This building ___ the twelfth century.
A. is dated back to B. dates back to
C. dated back to D. is dating back to
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：这座建筑可以追溯到12世纪。根据句意可知，描述客观情况应用一般现在时，date back to表示“追溯到”，没有被动语态，主语“This building”是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用单数。故选B项。
62. With a lot of difficult problems ________, the manager felt worried all the time.
A. settled B. to be settled
C. settling D. to settle
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查with复合结构。句意：有许多难题要解决，经理一直忧心忡忡。是由于有很多困难要解决，因此用不定式表示要解决；又因句中解决困难的人是经理，因此要用主动形式。故选D。
63. _______ more time, we could do it much better.
A. Given B. Give C. Giving D. To give
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：给我们再多一些时间，我们可以做的更好。分析句子可知，本句已经存在谓语could do，所以give需要使用非谓语动词形式。它的逻辑主语是we，根据句意，应该是“我们被给于更多时间”，二者之间呈被动关系，所以需要使用过去分词形式，故选A项。
64. My uncle got well prepared for the job interview.He couldn’t risk the good opportunity________．
A. to lose B. losing C. to be lost D. being lost
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：我叔叔为工作面试做了充分的准备。他不能冒险失去这个好机会。risk doing sth“冒险做某事”为固定短语。lost与opportunity在逻辑上是被动关系。所以risk 后接being lost。故选D项。
65. Don’t hurry. We still have a few minutes _______.
A. leave B. leaving C. left D. to leave
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：不要着急。我们还剩下几分钟时间。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“have”，故空处需填非谓语动词，“a few minutes”和“leave”之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。故选C项。
66. —Who’s the man _______with our teacher
—Perhaps it is our headmaster.
A. talked B. talking C. talks D. is talking
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：——和我们老师说话的那个人是谁 ——也许是我们的校长。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“is”,故空处需填非谓语动词，“the man”和“talk”之间是主动关系，表示动作正在发生，故用现在分词作后置定语。故选B项。
67. So loudly _______ that everyone of the class could hear him.
A. did he speak B. did he spoke C. spoke he D. he spoke
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装句。句意：他说话的声音那么大，全班同学都能听见。这个句子将“so”放在句首，再结合横线后的that，可以判断本句属于so...that...引到的部分倒装句，句型结构为“so+情态动词/助动词/系动词+主语+谓语动词+that...”，注意主语后应该使用动词原形，A选项符合这个句型结构，故选A项。
68. Without electricity, human life_______quite different today.
A. is B. will be C. could have been D. would be
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：没有电，当今人类的生活将会相当困难。因Without electricity是一种含蓄虚拟条件，相当于if引导的条件状语从句，表示与事实相反的动作或状态。根据题干中的today可知，本句是对现在情况的虚拟，所以主句的谓语动词应用“would/ should/ could/ might +动词原形”。故选D项。
69. Was it in this palace _______the last emperor died
A. that B. in which C. where D. which
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：最后一位皇帝就是在这座宫殿里去世的吗？本句为强调句型“It+be +被强调部分+that/who(指人)+其他部分.”的一般疑问句，对地点状语进行强调，设空处填that。故选A。

A. gradually B. usually
C. previously D. merely
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：那个女孩过去很害羞，但现在团队合作越来越积极，（比以前）更愿意表达自己想法。A. gradually逐渐地；B. usually通常，经常；C. previously以前；D. merely仅仅。故选A项。

在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
71. It took years of work ________(reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water.（所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】to reduce
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：减少工业污染和清洁水源需要多年的努力。It takes/took…to do sth.为固定句型，意思是“做某事花费（某人）多长时间”。所以此处填动词不定式。其中，it是形式主语，to do sth.是真正的主语。故填to reduce。
72. When__________ (compare) cultures, we often focus on the differences without noticing the similarities. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】comparing
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在比较文化时，我们常常只关注差异而忽略了相似之处。从属连词when之后，动词compare与主句主语we构成逻辑上的主动关系，应用现在分词comparing，作状语。故填comparing。
73. His first novel ________(receive) good reviews since it came out last month.
【答案】has received
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：他的第一部小说自上个月出版以来，得到了好的评价。since 意为“自从”，后接表过去的时间状语从句时，主句应用现在完成时。故填has received。
74. Strange ________ it might sound, his idea was accepted by all the people at the meeting. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】as##though
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：尽管他的主意可能听起来奇怪，但会上的所有人都接受了。as/though可以引导让步状语从句，要采用部分倒装，结构为“n./adj./adv.＋as/though＋主语＋谓语”，故答案为as/though。
75. _____is known to us all that the 2022 Olympic Winter Games will take place in Beijing. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】It
【解析】
【详解】考查it做形式主语。句意：众所周知，2022年冬季奥运会将在北京举行。It is known to all that…是常用句型，表示“众所周知……”，it做形式主语，that引导主语从句；句首单词首字母大写。故填It。
76. The obvious one is money；eating out once or twice a week may be _____________ (afford) but doing this most days adds up. （用单词适当形式填空）
【答案】affordable
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：最明显的一个就是金钱;每周出去吃一次或两次饭是可以负担的起的,但大多数日子里这样做花费就增加了。这里做的是be的表语，用其形容词形式。故填affordable。
77. ________ (devote) to education, he went to the mountainous areas to teach. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Devoted
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他致力于教育事业，到山区教书。此处为短语be devoted to，表示“致力于”，此处省略be动词，用过去分词作状语，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Devoted。
78. Only when Lily walked into the office________she realize that she had left the contract at home. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】did
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装。句意：仅仅在莉莉走进办公室以后，他才意识到她将合同落在家里了。Only+状语从句，置于句首时，主句要用部分倒装，根据本句陈述过去的事实，要用一般过去时，因此要将did提到主语前。故空格处填did。
79. It was not until I came here______I realized this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】that
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：直到我来到这里，我才意识到这个地方出名，不仅是因为它的美丽，还因为它的天气。分析可知，句中去掉It was和设空处，依然是完整的句子，由此可知此处为not until的强调句，句型为It is/was not until...that...“直到......才......”。故填that。
【点睛】
80. You can’t imagine what great trouble she had ________(raise) the four children. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】raising
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意：你无法想象她抚养四个孩子有多辛苦。分析句子可知，“she had (raise) the four children.”是定语从句，“great trouble”作had的宾语，have trouble (in) doing做某事有困难，介词in可以省略，用动名词作宾语。故答案是raising。

【81题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：19世纪中叶，世界被霍乱摧毁，数千人死于霍乱。考查本句谓语动词，根据时间状语“In the mid-19th century”可知，本句时态为一般过去时；主语为“the world”，单数，和动词“destroy”之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填was destroyed。
【82题详解】

【84题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：他不相信当时普遍认为的霍乱是通过恶劣的空气传播的。这里为同位语从句的引导词，同位语从句中不缺少成分，用that连接。故填that。
【85题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：当他注意到大多数案件都集中在Soho区的一个水泵附近时/后，他的怀疑就产生了。这里为状语从句的引导词，根据句意可知，可以指的是“当……时”，用连词when引导；也可以指的是“在……之后”，用连词“after”引导。故填when或after。
【86题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他进行了更深入的调查，绘制了这些泵的分布图，并将它们与霍乱病例联系起来。非谓语动词担当状语，主语“he”和动词“associate”之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填associating。
【87题详解】

From unexpected colour to making clever environmental choices, Joanna Plant, an interiors specialist and tastemaker, shares her design intentions for the year ahead.
·What is your New Year design resolution
I’d like to get out and look at things. The aim is to visit lots of houses and gardens for inspiration and see more exhibitions abroad.

·What was a highlight of 2023
Selling my house of 22 years and having the improvement of a new property — very exciting to be doing a project for myself! What’s fantastic is to work with suppliers who have amazing collections to discover and those who allow us to change the colours or make changes to existing designs.
·What design ideas do you have that you hope to bring to fruition
Happily, clients seem to be more responsive to having bolder paint plans and using more colours. We have been asking them to see how layering pattern can make a room more quiet and relaxing. I think that we are making our rooms look very nice by using a lot of decorative trims and accessories.

When Mark Anthony Gonzales saw a police officer in need of assistance, every element of the moral code installed in him through his Brazilian jiu-jitsu (巴西柔术) training — morality, courage, benevolence (仁爱) — told him to stop his car and lend a hand, even though his wife, Rachel Ortiz, and his four kids were in the car.
The suspect, a balding man of medium build, was running from a police officer in San Antonio, Texas. Gonzales slowed down. So did the man being chased — to avoid running into Gonzales’s minivan. That hesitation allowed the officer to catch up and take the suspect to the ground. But Gonzales quickly realized that the officer did not have control of the situation with the suspect struggling fiercely.
Gonzales put his vehicle in park and jumped out, as did Ortiz. The first thing Gonzales did was identify himself and spell out his intention to make it two-on-one in the officer’s favor and not the other way around.
Then, with the man on his back and the officer struggling to control the man’s upper body, Gonzales put his weight on the man’s legs. Seconds later, when the suspect rolled onto his stomach, Gonzales used techniques he’d learned in the gym: digging his knee into the suspect’s el bow and pulling the suspect’s head toward him to maintain control from the side. He then applied an underhook — a jiu-jitsu move where the hands are placed under the opponent’s arm to control the shoulder and upper body — and tugged until, after a few seconds, the suspect’s shoulder gave out. The officer clicked on the handcuffs and the threat was over.
Gonzales had asked his wife to record everything to protect him just in case anything was called into question. But Ortiz posted the video on Facebook where it attracted over 56 million views.
Among those awed by the video was Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Rener Gracie, a fourth-degree black belt, who stated: “The combination of Gonzales’s technique and his calm communication with both the officer and suspect is the stuff of legends!”
24. Why did Gonzales stop his car
A. To protect his family. B. To uphold justice.
C. To show his courage. D. To perform jiu-jitsu.
25. What did Gonzales do first when he came to the officer
A. He joined in the two-on-one fight. B. He persuaded the suspect to give in.
C. He warned the policeman of danger. D. He declared his identity and intention.
26. Why did Gonzales ask Ortiz to shoot the video
A. To record his heroic deeds. B. To avoid getting in trouble.
C. To attract views on Facebook. D. To expose the suspect’s behavior.
27. What’s the best title of the article
A. Jiu-jitsu Makes A Legend B. A Victory Of Two-on-one
C. Lending A Well-Trained Hand D. Justice Has Long Arms
C
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employees over 50 make up more than one-third of the workforce in the United States. And the labor force aged 75 and older is expected to increase by 96.5% by 2030. As the workforce ages and increasing numbers of grandparents care for their grandchildren, what once was intended for new parents is now applied to grandparents. Some workplaces are offering a new paid leave policy (政策) for older workers—grandternity leave.
As the name suggests, one of the most popular use cases for grandternity leave is employees taking time off when they become grandparents to help care for their grandchildren. It also enables employees to take paid leave to deal with medical treatment, spend time with their families, and take time away from work as needed.
In a competitive labor market with more than 10 million open jobs, employers still struggle to retain senior employees. They fall under the Baby Boomer generation and are characterized by their deep love for work and company responsibility. They are prized for their historical knowledge and old-fashioned work ethic (职业道德). Therefore, employers are seeking new, nontraditional benefits for these employees to prevent them from taking another job. Grandternity leave is just one example of personalized benefits suitable for older workers.
A handful of companies are already starting to offer their own form of grandternity leave. For example, Saga has rolled out a five-day paid grandternity leave to its 2,500 employees. Scott Merry, a 57-year-old IT specialist with Saga took grandternity leave to care for his new-born grandson. “It was just wonderful. It’s nice to work in this type of culture which values family time.” he said. Another company that became an early adopter (使用者) is HireVue. “Attracting and employing a various workforce should be top of mind for any organization,” said one of HireVue’s managers. “Offering a variety of benefits like grandternity leave is key to that.”
28. What does paragraph 1 focus on about the policy
A. Its application. B. Its influences. C. Its limitations. D. Its background.
29. What does the underlined word “retain” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Cut down. B. Kick out. C. Hold onto. D. Pay for.
30. What can be inferred about Grandternity leave from the last paragraph
A. It is a win-win practice. B. It has been adopted widely.
C. It has a two-sided nature. D. It is key to business success.
31. What is the purpose of this text
A. To introduce a new paid leave. B. To call for better working conditions.
C. To recommend several leading companies. D. To warn of the effect of population ageing.
D
Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known attractions. Reverse tourism (逆向旅游) has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased ten times at a minimum. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit (两位数的) growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up to 15.78 percent year-over-year.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters.
Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As preventive measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.
“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underestimated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is believed that it’s dangerous to have plants in the bedroom. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO ) and produce oxygen (氧气) in the day. ____36____. The build-up of CO is a real problem for indoor air quality, which has been shown to influence health, so it is easy to see where the concern comes from. But to consider whether sharing our bedroom with our plants can harm health, we should consider three things.
Firstly, how much CO do plants produce at night compared with what they take in during the day ____37____ For the answer depends on everything from species to light levels and even room temperature.
Thankfully, in 2015, researchers at Turkey’s Kastamonu University found that large houseplants take in between six and eight times as much CO2 in the day as they produce at night.
____38____ A single human breath contains around 40, 000 ppm of CO2, more than 10 times the effect a plant could have in 8 hours, so you might want to throw your partner out before your plants.
Finally, we don’t live in the sealed (密封的) boxes in which these studies are carried out. ____39____ The air is even exchanged when we move around. According to one recent review, we need houseplants to keep indoor air fresh, and to fight some pollution. ____40____
Let’s enjoy houseplants whenever we like, because if sleeping near plants were bad for our health, camping in a forest would be deadly.
A. This is hard to answer.
B. So, they are quite necessary.
C. The question has more than one answer.
D. Besides, we often share a room with someone else.
E. Indoor air is being exchanged through doors and windows.
