What to taste in Kuala Lumpur 2024
Great restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies (佳肴), the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.
Cantaloupe
Situated about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home-based eatery (餐馆) with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it’d be best to head there before lunch time.
Mum’s Place
Nothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are genuinely Malaysian. Lying in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum’s Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish; devil curry chicken and beef rendang.
YumYum Restaurant
Situated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations.
Troika Sky Dining
Offering fine dining, the amazing Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helps it stand out. It serves award-winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu of high-end pizzas and pasta.

As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer.
In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots.
In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye.
A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart.
24．What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1
A．They keep close track of the growth of fungi.
B．They help identify new species of mushroom.
C．They replace professional scientists in the field.
D．They classify the majority of mushroom species.
25．What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms
A．His desire for knowledge.
B．His curiosity about nature.
C．The beauty of nearby mushrooms.
D．The appeal of outdoor photography.
26．Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3
A．Skilled and observant.
B．Focused and flexible.
C．Talented and optimistic.
D．Organized and responsible.
27．Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms
A．To improve his photography techniques.
B．To capture dynamic life in an artistic way.
C．To collect biological data for deeper research.
D．To use a new approach to scientific studies.
C
African grey parrots help their peers complete tasks despite no immediate benefit to themselves, researchers have found in the first study to show that birds display such apparently “selfless” behaviour.
Writing in the journal Current Biology, Brucks and colleagues report how they tested African grey parrots in a task that involved the birds passing a token, in the form of a metal ring, through a hole in their section to a neighbouring bird of the same species. This token could then be passed by the second bird to a human, via another hole, who would exchange it for a piece of nut.
The team found African grey parrots helped their neighbours by passing tokens to their neighbour when a human held out their hand, allowing the second bird to drop it through-the hole and receive a tasty treat.
The same behaviour was seen when the roles of the birds were reversed (颠倒). The more tokens a bird had previously given, the more they received in return.
However, the team stress previously the birds did not know that their favour would be rewarded, suggesting it is something of a “selfless” act.
The team say it may be due to African grey parrots gathering in huge flocks at night but splitting into smaller groups during the day to forage(觅食). Brucks said such behaviour is thought to require strong social cognitive abilities, adding that being helpful might help the birds gain a good reputation with their peers, making it more likely that they would team up for foraging and other tasks.
Dr Manon Schweinfurth, an expert in animal behaviour, said evidence of reciprocal (互惠的) behaviour in African grey parrots is quite interesting. “It has been thought that it is so cognitively demanding that only humans can show it. But we now get more and more evidence from other animals that they are able to show reciprocity,” she said.
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The methods of observation. B．The comparison of the species.
C．One feeding behaviour of parrots. D．One example of Brucks’ experiments.
29．What is the possible driving force behind the “selfless” behavior exhibited by African grey parrots
A．A strong survival instinct. B．A desire for food.
C．The need for social cognitive abilities. D．Curiosity towards other species.
30．Based on the content of the article, which of the following statements is true
A．Only African grey parrots are capable of exhibiting reciprocal behavior.
B．Reciprocal behavior is the only demonstration of cognitive abilities.
C．Other animals may possess similar social cognitive abilities to African grey parrots.
D．The reciprocal behavior of African grey parrots is learned through experience.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards the behavior of African grey parrots described in the article
A．Unclear. B．Admiring. C．Indifferent. D．Surprised.
D
A carbon footprint is only one component of the broader ecological footprint. An ecological footprint compares the population’s consumption of resources and land with the planet’s ability to regenerate. The Earth’s ecological footprint is currently 23 percent over capacity. It takes about one year and two months to regenerate what we consume in a year.
Carbon footprints help people keep track of changes. Because footprints quantify an amount of carbon that increases or decreases based on energy use, they let people know that a new hybrid car or home insulation (隔离) helps. Transportation accounts for 33 percent of CO2 emissions in the United States, so many people try to lower their mileage (里程). Some walk or bike whenever possible; others take public transport. Home energyuse accounts for 21 percent of U. S. CO2 emissions, so it helps to have an efficient home. Setting the thermostat (恒温器) at a moderate temperature and installing double-paned windows lowers energy costs.
Of course, individual efforts can go only so far. Cutting CO2 and other greenhouse gases down to safer levels requires significant government regulation. Lessening carbon footprints does let people see where they are and how they can change. Those who want to accept personal responsibility for their emissions can track their own reductions and change their habits.
Because carbon calculators ask for only rough estimates, it’s easy for investigators to approximate the footprints of celebrities and politicians. Analysts hope to uncover high-profile figures, especially those who promote environmentalism. Although performer Madonna and other celebrities have been accused of flying frequently, former vice president Al Gore has drawn the harshest accusations. The Gores’ spokesperson did not deny that but emphasized that the couple subscribes to green power.
32．How long can the Earth produce what we need in a year
A．2 months. B．12 months. C．14 months. D．23 months.
33．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．Why people are worried about CO2 emissions.
B．How individuals can help to lower CO2 emissions.
C．Where most CO2 emissions come from in the United States.
D．What measures have been taken to cut down CO2 emissions.
34．What is still needed to cut greenhouse gases down to safer levels
A．The participation of the public.
B．The development of new equipment.
C．The changes of our living habits.
D．The powerful efforts of the government.
35．Why do investigators estimate the footprints of famous people easily
A．Because they have mastered methods.
B．Because it doesn’t call for much accuracy.
C．Because famous people are easy to approach.
D．Because new technology has advanced greatly.

One might hope that children’s capacity for boredom would be matched by an appetite for all things new — If only parenting were so easy. 36 Here are expert-approved tips on how to get your kids to attempt new things without frightening them off.
Start with what they know. Take something your kids already like or are good at, and push them to try it in a new environment or a slightly different way. If you want your kids to feel confident about their strengths and use that as a springboard to try something new, think: 37 How can you help them advance in that There is no need to learn a new thing — you just create an opportunity to push your kids to try something new with the skill they know.
Make a list. Ask your children what new things they want to try out or have them write a list. Help them figure out what it is that they are worried about when they avoid new things. 38 It’s a way to help them feel in charge of their emotions and understand the connection between thoughts and actions.
39 You should both recognize your children’s fears and express certainty that they can handle the task. It is important to project confidence in your children. Say you believe they have capacity to handle those challenges and tolerate the discomfort or worries or negative feelings that might come along with doing new or scary things.
Consider if they are doing enough. You should also do some reflecting of your own. Do your children really need to try tofu or martial arts If your kids are functioning overall, they are doing the basics and they have some friends, then be encouraging. 40 Sometimes doing that stops you from focusing on the things they are doing.
A．Sympathize and encourage.
B．Be tolerant and open-minded.
C．What are your kids comfortable with
D．Why are your kids fascinated by new things
E．Don’t overstress on everything they are not doing.
F．Sometimes the act of identifying and naming fears can help decrease them.
G．Trying new things is difficult for many children, whether a different food or skill.

Many years ago, a farmer owned a large farm along the Atlantic seacoast. He always advertised for hired hands (雇工). Most people were unwilling to work on farms along the Atlantic. They were frightened by the awful storms that swept across the ocean, destroying the buildings and crops in its path. As the farmer interviewed people for the job, he just received “No”.
Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, came close to the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand ” the farmer asked him.
“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the man. Although he couldn’t understand his answer, the farmer hired him.
At first the little man started the hard work with confidence. Soon after, he found that the farm was much bigger than he had imagined. He had no idea how such a big farm could produce with so few farmhands, let alone fight against natural disasters. But he quickly accepted the reality that he had to make every effort to deal with these problems. From then on the little man worked around the farm every day and kept busy from dawn to dusk. And to the farmer’s surprise, he felt glad about the man’s work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly. Jumping out of bed, the farmer took a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hands bed, he shook the little man and shouted, “Get up! A storm is coming. Tie things down before they blow away!”
The little man rolled over in bed and said surely, No sir I told you…. I can sleep when the wind blows. And no matter what the farmer said, he didn’t get up. The farmer was very angry with him, so he determined to fire the man on spot.
Instead, he ran outside to prepare for the storm hurriedly.

It was at this moment that the farmer understood.

【答案】18．B 19．B 20．A
【原文】
Well, I’d love to share with you my musical tastes. I’ve always been a huge fan of music. My mom used to have so many CDs, tapes and records, so I could listen to all sorts of things, from classical music like Beethoven and Mozart to seventies bands like Shakatak.
I’ve always listened to electronic music and dance music. It started when I was about thirteen years old. I used to go to parties for young people with my schoolmates and I’ve just always been into them. One thing that I can’t get into is country. My sister is a big fan. I just cannot get used to it.
If I look on my iPod now, a lot of the music that I listen to now, I probably listened to back when I was four or five years old, with the exception of some of the dance tracks which came in when I was a teenager. So I’d like to say that I listen to a wide range of music, and I’ve got my mom to thank for that.

What to taste in Kuala Lumpur 2024
Great restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies (佳肴), the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.
Cantaloupe
Situated about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home-based eatery (餐馆) with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it’d be best to head there before lunch time.
Mum’s Place
Nothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are genuinely Malaysian. Lying in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum’s Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish; devil curry chicken and beef rendang.
YumYum Restaurant
Situated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations.
Troika Sky Dining
Offering fine dining, the amazing Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helps it stand out.

As a mushroom scientist, you are vastly outnumbered, with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌), the majority of which are yet to be identified. However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries. One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood, a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer.
In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature. His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots.
In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. Upon deeper investigation, fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a “hazel glove” mushroom, which is a rare find. “Mushrooms are not like plants,” Rossman says. “They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye.
A few years ago, Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren’t sufficient, so he chose to create time-lapse (延时拍摄的) videos of mushrooms. “When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart.
24．What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1
A．They keep close track of the growth of fungi.
B．They help identify new species of mushroom.
C．They replace professional scientists in the field.
D．They classify the majority of mushroom species.
25．What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms
A．His desire for knowledge.
B．His curiosity about nature.
C．The beauty of nearby mushrooms.
D．The appeal of outdoor photography.
26．Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3
A．Skilled and observant.
B．Focused and flexible.
C．Talented and optimistic.
D．Organized and responsible.
27．Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms
A．To improve his photography techniques.
B．To capture dynamic life in an artistic way.
C．To collect biological data for deeper research.
D．To use a new approach to scientific studies.
【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Taylor Lockwood，一名蘑菇爱好者和摄影师，在真菌学领域做出了重大贡献。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“However, professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species. An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals. These amateurs have even made significant discoveries.(然而，在发现新物种的努力中，该领域的专业人士并不孤单。一个热情的业余爱好者社区已经出现，弥合了专业人士和非专业人士之间的差距。这些业余爱好者甚至有了重大发现。)”可知，蘑菇爱好者们在探索新真菌品种方面有重大发现，故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In 1984, while living on the Mendocino coast of California, Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms. “Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,” he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said, ‘Taylor, go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’” (1984年，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)住在加利福尼亚州的门多西诺海岸，对蘑菇产生了浓厚的兴趣。“我的小屋外面有这些神奇的蘑菇，”他说。“就好像这些蘑菇看着我说，‘泰勒，出去告诉世界我们有多漂亮。’”)”可知，小屋附近蘑菇的美让Taylor决定用相机去拍摄它们，故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In the Monongahela National Forest, Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves. (在莫农加希拉国家森林，泰勒·洛克伍德(Taylor Lockwood)发现了一种不寻常的蘑菇，看起来像戴着灰白色手套的小手指。)”可知，Taylor在森林里发现了稀有的蘑菇品种，再结合第三段中“They don’t come up at the same time every year, and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.” Rossman says that’s why it’s so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye. (“它们不会每年在同一时间出现，所以有时真菌结出果实之间可能需要几十年的时间。”罗斯曼说，这就是为什么像泰勒·洛克伍德这样的人用训练有素的眼睛在森林中搜索如此有价值的原因。)”可推知，Taylor是一个有经验且善于观察的人，故选A项。
27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms—insects, worms and other small creatures interacting with them,” he says. Lockwood’s love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time. Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work, he identifies himself as an artist at heart. (“当我进行延时摄影时，我看到蘑菇周围发生了很多生命——昆虫、蠕虫和其他小生物与它们互动，”他说。洛克伍德对艺术的热爱体现在他随着时间的推移拍摄蘑菇的方法上。尽管他欣赏自己作品的科学方面，但他将自己视为内心的艺术家。)”可推知，Taylor决定拍摄蘑菇的延时视频是为了以艺术的方式捕捉动态生活，故选B项。
C
African grey parrots help their peers complete tasks despite no immediate benefit to themselves, researchers have found in the first study to show that birds display such apparently “selfless” behaviour.
Writing in the journal Current Biology, Brucks and colleagues report how they tested African grey parrots in a task that involved the birds passing a token, in the form of a metal ring, through a hole in their section to a neighbouring bird of the same species. This token could then be passed by the second bird to a human, via another hole, who would exchange it for a piece of nut.
The team found African grey parrots helped their neighbours by passing tokens to their neighbour when a human held out their hand, allowing the second bird to drop it through-the hole and receive a tasty treat.
The same behaviour was seen when the roles of the birds were reversed (颠倒). The more tokens a bird had previously given, the more they received in return.
However, the team stress previously the birds did not know that their favour would be rewarded, suggesting it is something of a “selfless” act.
The team say it may be due to African grey parrots gathering in huge flocks at night but splitting into smaller groups during the day to forage(觅食). Brucks said such behaviour is thought to require strong social cognitive abilities, adding that being helpful might help the birds gain a good reputation with their peers, making it more likely that they would team up for foraging and other tasks.
Dr Manon Schweinfurth, an expert in animal behaviour, said evidence of reciprocal (互惠的) behaviour in African grey parrots is quite interesting. “It has been thought that it is so cognitively demanding that only humans can show it. But we now get more and more evidence from other animals that they are able to show reciprocity,” she said.
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The methods of observation. B．The comparison of the species.
C．One feeding behaviour of parrots. D．One example of Brucks’ experiments.
29．What is the possible driving force behind the “selfless” behavior exhibited by African grey parrots
A．A strong survival instinct. B．A desire for food.
C．The need for social cognitive abilities. D．Curiosity towards other species.
30．Based on the content of the article, which of the following statements is true
A．Only African grey parrots are capable of exhibiting reciprocal behavior.
B．Reciprocal behavior is the only demonstration of cognitive abilities.
C．Other animals may possess similar social cognitive abilities to African grey parrots.
D．The reciprocal behavior of African grey parrots is learned through experience.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards the behavior of African grey parrots described in the article
A．Unclear. B．Admiring. C．Indifferent. D．Surprised.
【答案】28．D 29．A 30．C 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现鸟类之间也存在无私奉献的行为，文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究发现。
28．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Writing in the journal Current Biology, Brucks and colleagues report how they tested African grey parrots in a task that involved the birds passing a token, in the form of a metal ring, through a hole in their section to a neighbouring bird of the same species. This token could then be passed by the second bird to a human, via another hole, who would exchange it for a piece of nut.(布鲁克斯及其同事在《当代生物学》杂志上撰文，报告了他们是如何对非洲灰鹦鹉进行测试的，测试内容是让这些鹦鹉将一个金属环形式的令牌通过它们身上的一个小孔传递给邻近的同种鹦鹉。然后，第二只鸟可以通过另一个孔将这个信物传递给人类，人类会用它换取一块坚果)”可知，第二段的主要内容是Brucks实验的一个例子。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The team say it may be due to African grey parrots gathering in huge flocks at night but splitting into smaller groups during the day to forage(觅食). Brucks said such behaviour is thought to require strong social cognitive abilities, adding that being helpful might help the birds gain a good reputation with their peers, making it more likely that they would team up for foraging and other tasks.”（研究小组表示，这可能是由于非洲灰鹦鹉在夜间成群结队，但在白天会分成更小的群体觅食。布鲁克斯说，这种行为被认为需要强大的社会认知能力，并补充说，乐于助人可能有助于鸟类在同伴中获得良好的声誉，使它们更有可能合作觅食和其他任务）可知，非洲灰鹦鹉表现出的“无私”行为背后可能的驱动力是强烈的生存本能。故选A项。
30．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But we now get more and more evidence from other animals that they are able to show reciprocity,”（但我们现在从其他动物那里得到越来越多的证据，证明它们能够展示互惠行为。）可知，其他动物可能具有与非洲灰鹦鹉相似的社会认知能力，故选C。
31．推理判断题。文章主要说明了研究发现鸟类之间也存在无私奉献的行为，文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究发现。作者并未表明自己的观点，所以作者的态度是不清楚的。故选A项。
D
A carbon footprint is only one component of the broader ecological footprint. An ecological footprint compares the population’s consumption of resources and land with the planet’s ability to regenerate. The Earth’s ecological footprint is currently 23 percent over capacity. It takes about one year and two months to regenerate what we consume in a year.
Carbon footprints help people keep track of changes. Because footprints quantify an amount of carbon that increases or decreases based on energy use, they let people know that a new hybrid car or home insulation (隔离) helps. Transportation accounts for 33 percent of CO2 emissions in the United States, so many people try to lower their mileage (里程). Some walk or bike whenever possible; others take public transport. Home energyuse accounts for 21 percent of U. S. CO2 emissions, so it helps to have an efficient home. Setting the thermostat (恒温器) at a moderate temperature and installing double-paned windows lowers energy costs.
Of course, individual efforts can go only so far. Cutting CO2 and other greenhouse gases down to safer levels requires significant government regulation. Lessening carbon footprints does let people see where they are and how they can change. Those who want to accept personal responsibility for their emissions can track their own reductions and change their habits.
Because carbon calculators ask for only rough estimates, it’s easy for investigators to approximate the footprints of celebrities and politicians. Analysts hope to uncover high-profile figures, especially those who promote environmentalism. Although performer Madonna and other celebrities have been accused of flying frequently, former vice president Al Gore has drawn the harshest accusations. The Gores’ spokesperson did not deny that but emphasized that the couple subscribes to green power.
32．How long can the Earth produce what we need in a year
A．2 months. B．12 months. C．14 months. D．23 months.
33．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．Why people are worried about CO2 emissions.
B．How individuals can help to lower CO2 emissions.
C．Where most CO2 emissions come from in the United States.
D．What measures have been taken to cut down CO2 emissions.
34．What is still needed to cut greenhouse gases down to safer levels
A．The participation of the public.
B．The development of new equipment.
C．The changes of our living habits.
D．The powerful efforts of the government.
35．Why do investigators estimate the footprints of famous people easily
A．Because they have mastered methods.
B．Because it doesn’t call for much accuracy.
C．Because famous people are easy to approach.
D．Because new technology has advanced greatly.
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．B
【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了碳足迹只是更广泛的生态足迹的一个组成部分以及我们如何才能降低温室气体的排放。
32． 细节理解题。 根据文章第一段“The Earth’s ecological footprint is currently 23 percent over capacity. It takes about one year and two months to regenerate what we consume in a year.”（目前，地球的生态足迹超出了容量的23%。大约需要一年零两个月的时间来再生我们一年中消耗的东西。）可知，地球大约需要一年零两个月，即14个月的时间来再生我们在一年内消耗的东西。故选C。
33．主旨大意题。第二段第一句提到“Carbon footprints help people keep track of changes.”（碳足迹帮助人们跟踪变化。）且在该段中提到了人们可以通过骑自行车减少碳排放，以及将家里的恒温器设置到合适的温度和安装双层玻璃来降低能源成本，由此判断，通读文章第二段可以推知其主要在讲述个人如何能减少碳排放。 故选B。
34．细节理解题。 第三段提到“Of course, individual efforts can go only so far. Cutting CO2 and other greenhouse gases down to safer levels requires significant government regulation.”（当然，个人的努力只能到此为止。将二氧化碳和其他温室气体减少到更安全的水平需要政府的大力监管。）由此判断，在控制二氧化碳和温室气体排放方面政府仍需要进行大力监管。故选D
35． 细节理解题。 最后一段提到“Because carbon calculators ask for only rough estimates, it’s easy for investigators to approximate the footprints of celebrities and politicians.”（因为碳计算器只要求粗略的估计，所以调查人员很容易就能估计出名人和政治家的足迹。）由此判断，因为碳计算器只要求粗略的估计，而不需要精准的数据，所以调查人员很容易估算出名人们的碳排放。故选B。

One might hope that children’s capacity for boredom would be matched by an appetite for all things new — If only parenting were so easy. 36 Here are expert-approved tips on how to get your kids to attempt new things without frightening them off.
Start with what they know. Take something your kids already like or are good at, and push them to try it in a new environment or a slightly different way. If you want your kids to feel confident about their strengths and use that as a springboard to try something new, think: 37 How can you help them advance in that There is no need to learn a new thing — you just create an opportunity to push your kids to try something new with the skill they know.
Make a list. Ask your children what new things they want to try out or have them write a list. Help them figure out what it is that they are worried about when they avoid new things. 38 It’s a way to help them feel in charge of their emotions and understand the connection between thoughts and actions.
39 You should both recognize your children’s fears and express certainty that they can handle the task. It is important to project confidence in your children. Say you believe they have capacity to handle those challenges and tolerate the discomfort or worries or negative feelings that might come along with doing new or scary things.
Consider if they are doing enough. You should also do some reflecting of your own. Do your children really need to try tofu or martial arts If your kids are functioning overall, they are doing the basics and they have some friends, then be encouraging. 40 Sometimes doing that stops you from focusing on the things they are doing.
A．Sympathize and encourage.
B．Be tolerant and open-minded.
C．What are your kids comfortable with
D．Why are your kids fascinated by new things
E．Don’t overstress on everything they are not doing.
F．Sometimes the act of identifying and naming fears can help decrease them.
G．Trying new things is difficult for many children, whether a different food or skill.

37．根据前文“Start with what they know. Take something your kids already like or are good at, and push them to try it in a new environment or a slightly different way. (从他们知道的开始。拿一些你的孩子已经喜欢或擅长的东西，推动他们在一个新的环境中或以一种稍微不同的方式尝试。)”可知，此处是指想一想你的孩子已经喜欢或擅长什么，所以选项C“你的孩子喜欢什么？”切合文意。故选C。
38．根据前文“Ask your children what new things they want to try out or have them write a list. Help them figure out what it is that they are worried about when they avoid new things. (问问你的孩子他们想尝试什么新事物，或者让他们写一个清单。帮助他们弄清楚，当他们回避新事物时，他们担心的是什么。)”和后文“It’s a way to help them feel in charge of their emotions and understand the connection between thoughts and actions. (这是一种帮助他们掌控自己情绪、理解思想和行为之间联系的方法。)”可知，此处是指明白自己的恐惧可以弱化恐惧，所以选项F“有时，识别和说出恐惧的行为可以帮助减少恐惧。”切合文意。故选F。
39．根据后文“You should both recognize your children’s fears and express certainty that they can handle the task. (你应该认识到孩子的恐惧，并确信他们能处理好这项任务。)”可知，此处是指要理解孩子的恐惧并鼓励他，所以选项A“共情并鼓励。”切合文意。故选A。
40．根据前文“Do your children really need to try tofu or martial arts If your kids are functioning overall, they are doing the basics and they have some friends, then be encouraging. (你的孩子真的需要尝试豆腐或武术吗？如果你的孩子在做一些基本的事情，并且有一些朋友，那么你应该鼓励他们。)”和后文“Sometimes doing that stops you from focusing on the things they are doing. (有时这样做会让你无法专注于他们正在做的事情。)”可知，此处是指过度强调他们还没做过的事情有时并不好，所以选项E“不要过分强调他们没有做的事情。”切合文意。故选E。

【答案】When faced with different opinions, we should try to reach agreement through friendly discussion and reasonable argument.
Firstly, friendly discussions can create a good atmosphere for communication, making it easier for those with different views to listen to others’ views and respect others’ feelings, so that they can better understand each other’s point of view, and even find their common ground. What’s more, when opinions differ, discussing disputable issues in a friendly way does not mean that we have to completely give up our own perspective or stand. While listening to others with an open mind, we should also dare to present valid and reasonable arguments to support our thoughts. But do bear in mind that remaining calm and rational is crucial to persuade others.
In short, when encountering different opinions, we should communicate with others in a calm and friendly manner and express our views as reasonably as possible, resolving the differences with honesty and frankness.

Many years ago, a farmer owned a large farm along the Atlantic seacoast. He always advertised for hired hands (雇工). Most people were unwilling to work on farms along the Atlantic. They were frightened by the awful storms that swept across the ocean, destroying the buildings and crops in its path. As the farmer interviewed people for the job, he just received “No”.
Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, came close to the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand ” the farmer asked him.
“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the man. Although he couldn’t understand his answer, the farmer hired him.
At first the little man started the hard work with confidence. Soon after, he found that the farm was much bigger than he had imagined. He had no idea how such a big farm could produce with so few farmhands, let alone fight against natural disasters. But he quickly accepted the reality that he had to make every effort to deal with these problems. From then on the little man worked around the farm every day and kept busy from dawn to dusk. And to the farmer’s surprise, he felt glad about the man’s work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly. Jumping out of bed, the farmer took a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hands bed, he shook the little man and shouted, “Get up! A storm is coming. Tie things down before they blow away!”
The little man rolled over in bed and said surely, No sir I told you…. I can sleep when the wind blows. And no matter what the farmer said, he didn’t get up. The farmer was very angry with him, so he determined to fire the man on spot.
Instead, he ran outside to prepare for the storm hurriedly.

【答案】
Instead, he ran outside to prepare for the storm hurriedly. To his surprise, he discovered that all things had been covered. The cows and chickens were in the house and the door was locked. The windows were tightly closed. Everything was so tied down that nothing could be blown away. The big farm was well-prepared for the strong storm.
It was at this moment that the farmer understood. He finally got the meaning of “I can sleep when the wind blows.” Seeing what he did, the farmer returned to his bed to sleep while the wind was blowing strongly. It was clear that because the little man had made careful preparations ahead of time, he had nothing to worry about when the storm came. He was able to sleep because he did everything to protect the farm against the storm.
