A
For some, rice is simply bought at the market, ready to take home and steam or boil. But have you ever wondered about the journey the grains of rice take before they reach your plate or bowl, or fork or chopsticks
Sowing the seeds
First, the seeds are sown. Sometimes, they are planted directly in the fields, but often they are sown in nurseries where they spend their first 30 days putting forth shoots and grow into seedlings (苗).
Transplanting to the fields
After about 30 days, the seedlings are transplanted to the fields. Transplanting is exhausting, tiring work that requires standing in water and repeatedly bending over.
Harvesting
When the mature plants are a golden yellow colour, the new grains are ready to harvest. Sometimes farmers use a mechanical reaper, but often they use only a sharp knife or sickle (镰刀).
Threshing (脱粒)
Threshing separates the grains from the stalks (秆). This can be done with mechanical threshers or combines, but often the stalks are simply pounded against a hard surface. When threshing is done without machinery, the rice is tied into bundles (捆) and dried in the sun first.
Drying the rice
Drying is very important because if the moisture (水分) content is too high, the freshly harvested grains will spoil easily. In many countries, the grains are laid out to dry wherever space is available, from basketball courts to sections of major highways. Wealthy farmers may put large quantities of grains into heated airdryers.
After that, some of these grains, after certain kinds of processing and transporting, will end up in your bowl; others will be saved for the seeds next year.
1. What will happen before the grains are harvested
A. Grains will be separated from stalks.
B. Seeds are usually planted in nurseries.
C. Seedlings are transplanted to fields by machines.
D. A month after seeds are sown, seedlings will be transplanted.
2. What will rich farmers probably use to dry the grains
A. Knives or sickles. B. Mechanical threshers. C. Basketball courts. D. Heated airdryers.
3. Why is the above passage written
A. To tell us the way to process rice.
B. To show the importance of rice to human beings.
C. To introduce a new way of increasing production of rice.
D. To explain what happens before rice becomes our food.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了粮食从种植到收割所要经历的过程。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Sometimes, they are planted directly in the fields, but often they are sown in nurseries where they spend their first 30 days putting forth shoots and grow into seedlings (苗).(有时，它们直接种植在田地里，但通常是在苗圃里播种，它们在苗圃里花30天的时间发芽并长成幼苗)”可知，在谷物收割之前，种子通常种在苗圃里。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Wealthy farmers may put large quantities of grains into heated airdryers.(富裕的农民可能把大量的谷物放入加热的烘干机中)”可知，富裕的农民可能会用加热式烘干机来烘干谷物。故选D。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For some, rice is simply bought at the market, ready to take home and steam or boil. But have you ever wondered about the journey the grains of rice take before they reach your plate or bowl, or fork or chopsticks (对一些人来说，大米只是在市场上买的，准备带回家蒸或煮。但你有没有想过，米粒在到达你的盘子、碗、叉子或筷子之前要经历怎样的旅程？)”结合文章主要介绍了粮食从种植到收割所要经历的过程。可知，文章的目的是解释大米成为我们的食物之前发生了什么。故选D。
B
“Our first duty is to the place that raised us,” Omar Freilla says. “For me, it’s the South Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop.”
Although the South Bronx was one of the nation’s poorest and most polluted areas, with crowded roads and poisonous industrial sites, Omar saw a different kind of potential amidst its challenges. He envisioned a new approach to the mountains of discarded materials.
“A lot of what people throw away is perfectly good,” he says. Omar was just out of college and he started thinking about how he could get this “good garbage” to people who could use it. Instead of destroying things like old windows and doors, why not clean them up and resell them Why not hire people who live in the community to do the work Better yet, why not make this business a “cooperative”, which means that the people who work in the business own it and share the profits
To start his business, Omar put up flyers along the truck-jammed, trash-filled streets of his neighborhood, looking for people to work with him. He soon found four other dedicated workers. They rented a warehouse (仓库) and started looking for donations of used materials.
They called up hardware stores (五金店), building supply distributors, and contractors, providing free shipping from construction sites. Their warehouse began to fill up. A hardware store gave 2,000 gallons of paint that was still good but was being thrown away because it was past its expiration date (产品有效期). A distributor donated 80 new toilets from a project that had been canceled. Contractors added unwanted doors, sinks, ceiling fans—even theater seats and a giant popcorn machine!
In April 2008, Omar’s cooperative opened its doors for business and began selling construction supplies—at reasonable prices—to neighborhood builders and homeowners. With the help of city officials, he also began planning a new training program to help local residents learn the skills they need to get good jobs that help the environment and even start cooperatives of their own.
4. What was the primary motivation behind Omar’s decision to start his business in the South Bronx
A. To make a profit from selling construction supplies.
B. To address the environmental challenges in the community.
C. To compete with existing hardware stores and distributors.
D. To provide job opportunities for skilled workers in the area.
5. How did Omar start his business in the South Bronx
A. He relied on his personal savings to fund the business.
B. He distributed flyers to ask for donations from neighbors.
C. He sought funding from large companies to establish the business.
D. He actively engaged with his local community to gather support and resources.
6. How could hardware stores probably help with Omar’s business
A. They provide free shipping. B. They provide useful resources.
C. They provide financial support. D. They provide a cheap workforce.
7. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage
A. The Rise of Environmental Movement in the South Bronx
B. Community Cooperation: Transforming Waste into Resources
C. Omar Freilla: A New Star in the Hip-Hop Industry
D. Navigating Challenges: The Story of South Bronx Business
【答案】4 B 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了Omar Freilla和他的团队在南布朗克斯创办企业，通过与当地社区合作，将被丢弃的材料重新利用，创造了一个繁荣的业务，并为社区提供了就业机会。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““A lot of what people throw away is perfectly good,” he says. Omar was just out of college and he started thinking about how he could get this “good garbage” to people who could use it. Instead of destroying things like old windows and doors, why not clean them up and resell them Why not hire people who live in the community to do the work Better yet, why not make this business a “cooperative”, which means that the people who work in the business own it and share the profits (他说：“人们扔掉的很多东西其实都很好。”奥马尔刚刚大学毕业，他开始思考如何把这些“好垃圾”带给需要的人。与其破坏旧门窗之类的东西，为什么不把它们清理干净再卖掉呢？为什么不雇住在社区里的人来做这项工作呢？更好的做法是，为什么不让这个企业成为“合作企业”，这意味着在企业工作的人拥有它并分享利润？)”可知，Omar的主要动机是通过创办企业来解决社区面临的环境问题。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To start his business, Omar put up flyers along the truck-jammed, trash-filled streets of his neighborhood, looking for people to work with him. He soon found four other dedicated workers. They rented a warehouse (仓库) and started looking for donations of used materials.(为了开始他的生意，奥马尔在他所在社区卡车堵塞、垃圾遍地的街道上张贴传单，寻找与他合作的人。他很快就找到了另外四名敬业的工人。他们租了一个仓库，开始寻找二手材料的捐赠)”可知，Omar通过积极参与社区活动，与社区紧密合作，来收集支持和资源，这是他创办企业的策略之一。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A hardware store gave 2,000 gallons of paint that was still good but was being thrown away because it was past its expiration date (产品有效期).(一家五金店提供了2000加仑的油漆，这些油漆仍然很好，但因为过期而被扔掉了)”可知，五金店提供有用的资源帮到Omar的生意。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Although the South Bronx was one of the nation’s poorest and most polluted areas, with crowded roads and poisonous industrial sites, Omar saw a different kind of potential amidst its challenges. He envisioned a new approach to the mountains of discarded materials.(尽管南布朗克斯是美国最贫穷、污染最严重的地区之一，道路拥挤，工业场所有毒，但奥马尔在挑战中看到了一种不同的潜力。他设想了一种处理堆积如山的废弃材料的新方法)”结合文章讲述了Omar Freilla和他的团队在南布朗克斯创办企业，通过与当地社区合作，将被丢弃的材料重新利用，创造了一个繁荣的业务，并为社区提供了就业机会。可知，B选项“社区合作：变废为宝”最符合文章标题。故选B。
C
At Denver, many passengers got on the train which travelled east. In one coach, there sat a very pretty young woman, who was richly and beautifully dressed. Among the newcomers were two men. The younger one was good-looking with a bold, honest face; the other was a sad-faced person, large and dressed in cheap clothes. The two were handcuffed (用手铐铐住) together.
When they reached the coach, the only empty seats were the ones facing the pretty young woman. Here the pair seated themselves. The woman quickly looked at them, and then with a lovely smile, she held out her hand. When she spoke, her voice showed that she was used to speaking and being heard.
“Well, Mr. Easton, if you will make me speak first, I think I must. Don’t you ever say hello to old friends when you meet them in the West ”
The younger man looked surprised to hear her voice. He seemed a little embarrassed, but immediately he held her fingers with his left hand. “It’s Miss Fairchild, he said, with a smile. “I’ll ask you to excuse the other hand. I can’t use it just at present.”
He slightly raised his right hand, which was handcuffed to the left one of his partner. The delightful look in the woman’s eyes slowly changed to doubt and fear. Easton, with a little laugh, was about to speak again when the other cut him short. The sad-faced man had been watching the young woman’s face with his sharp, searching eyes.
“You’ll excuse me for speaking, Miss. But I see you know the marshal (警官) here. If you’ll ask him to speak a word for me in prison, he’ll do it. It’ll make things easier for me there. He’s taking me to Leavenworth prison. I’m going to be in prison for seven years.”
“Oh!” she said, with a deep breath and returning color. “So, that is what you are doing out here. A marshal!”
8. Why did the two men sit near the woman
A. She was attractive. B. They knew one another.
C. She liked to speak to people. D. There were no other seats.
9. What did Miss Fairchild think of Mr. Easton when greeting him
A. He was impolite. B. He was busy.
C. He was doubtful. D. He was delighted.
10. Why did Mr. Easton’s partner speak to the woman
A. He wanted to be set free. B. He wanted a better life in prison.
C. He wanted her to forgive Mr. Easton. D. He wanted to make friends with her.
11. What happened at the end of the story
A. A friendship had to be ended. B. Mr. Easton recognized the woman.
C. A misunderstanding was cleared up. D. The woman made fun of Mr. Easton.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个警官为了维护罪犯在朋友面前的尊严，向对方谎称自己是罪犯，编造出一个善意的谎言。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When they reached the coach, the only empty seats were the ones facing the pretty young woman. Here the pair seated themselves.”（当他们到达车厢时，只有那位漂亮的年轻女子对面的座位是空的。两人在这里坐了下来。）可知，这两个男人坐在那个女人旁边是因为没有别的座位了。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The woman quickly looked at them, and then with a lovely smile, she held out her hand.”（那女人迅速地看了看他们，然后带着可爱的微笑，伸出手来。）以及第三段““Well, Mr. Easton, if you will make me speak first, I think I must. Don’t you ever say hello to old friends when you meet them in the West ””（“好吧，伊斯顿先生，既然你非要我先说，我想我非说不可。你在西方遇到老朋友，难道不跟他们打声招呼吗？”）可推知，当费尔柴尔德小姐向伊斯顿先生打招呼时，她认为他很不礼貌。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““You’ll excuse me for speaking, Miss. But I see you know the marshal (警官) here. If you’ll ask him to speak a word for me in prison, he’ll do it. It’ll make things easier for me there. He’s taking me to Leavenworth prison. I’m going to be in prison for seven years.””（“请原谅我说话，小姐。不过我看你认识这儿的法警。如果你让他在监狱里为我说句话，他会答应的。这会让我在那里的日子好过些。他要带我去莱文沃斯监狱。我要在监狱里呆7年。”）可知，伊斯顿的搭档跟那个女人说话是因为他想在监狱里过上更好的生活。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Oh!” she said, with a deep breath and returning color. “So, that is what you are doing out here. A marshal!””（“哦！她说，深吸了一口气，脸色又变了。“所以，这就是你在这里做的事情。一名警官！”）可推知，故事的结尾一个误会被消除了。故选C项。
D
TikTok is making a mark on the world of publishing. Much of this is done through BookTok, the app’s community of users who comment on books. It is among the largest communities on the app; videos with this tag have been viewed 179 billion times, more than twice as many as BeautyTok. Whoever said books are dead has not spent much time on TikTok, nor in bookstores, which now have whole displays promoting titles “as seen on TikTok”.
Last year in Britain one in four book buyers used TikTok. Although the sales share is still very small, TikTok’s influence is significant and growing. The largest group of book buyers—women aged 54 and younger—are more likely to use the app than their male peers. TikTok recommendations influence their purchases, creating new literary stars and unearthing unlikely past ones, too.
One way to think about BookTok is as a book club for the Internet age. Just as stars like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama can cause copies to fly off bookstore shelves by updating their lists of recommended reads, BookTok does something similar. However, the tastemakers are not usually celebrities (名人) but attractive book girlies doing reading challenges, often in artfully lit bedrooms.
Some old-fashioned bibliophiles (藏书家) may suspect that BookTok is less about books than about people seeking attention by promoting them. But BookTokers are already swaying bestseller lists. For example, novels categorised as “romance” have enjoyed the biggest push due to the promotion of BookTok. In addition, because TikTok is so visual, the app has an outsize impact on sales of physical books in particular. E-books do not make such attractive visual props. BookTokers show off their notes and flick through pages. Filming themselves finishing a book in a single day against a backdrop of hundreds of them on shelves is all part of the performance, and viewers will be extra impressed if the book looks thick.
12. How has TikTok influenced the world of publishing
A. By promoting the celebrity authors and their works.
B. By encouraging people to read e-books.
C. By creating a community of users who comment on books.
D. By focusing on promoting e-books.
13. What does the underlined word “swaying” mean in the last paragraph
A. Changing direction rapidly. B. Causing change.
C. Moving back and forth. D. Remaining still.
14. What factor contributes to TikTok having a greater impact on the sales of physical books than e-books
A. The visual nature of TikTok makes physical books more appealing as props.
B. TikTok users prefer reading physical books over e-books.
C. E-books already have a more popular platform than TikTok.
D. TikTok offers discounts on physical books but not on e-books.
15. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the influence of TikTok on book sales
A. TikTok’s impact on book sales is limited to specific genres such as romantic novels.
B. The popularity of TikTok has significantly decreased the sales of physical books in bookstores.
C. TikTok has a great impact on the purchasing decisions of young women aged 54 and below.
D. TikTok’s influence on book sales primarily results from the recommendations of celebrities.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了TikTok正在对出版界产生影响，其中大部分是通过BookTok完成的，BookTok是该应用的用户社区，用户可以对书籍进行评论。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“TikTok is making a mark on the world of publishing. Much of this is done through BookTok, the app’s community of users who comment on books. It is among the largest communities on the app; videos with this tag have been viewed 179 billion times, more than twice as many as BeautyTok.(TikTok正在出版界留下印记。其中大部分是通过BookTok完成的，BookTok是该应用的用户社区，用户可以对书籍进行评论。它是该应用程序上最大的社区之一；带有这个标签的视频已经被观看了1790亿次，是BeautyTok的两倍多)”可知，TikTok通过创建一个用户评论书籍的社区影响出版界。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“For example, novels categorised as “romance” have enjoyed the biggest push due to the promotion of BookTok.(例如，由于BookTok的推广，被归类为“浪漫”的小说受到了最大的推动)”可知，由于BookTok的推广，被归类为“浪漫”的小说受到了最大的推动，可知BookTokers引起了畅销书销量的变化。故划线词意思是“引起变化”。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In addition, because TikTok is so visual, the app has an outsize impact on sales of physical books in particular. E-books do not make such attractive visual props. BookTokers show off their notes and flick through pages.(此外，由于TikTok非常视觉化，这款应用对实体书的销售产生了巨大的影响。电子书并不是如此吸引人的视觉道具。BookTokers展示他们的笔记并快速翻页)”可知，TikTok的视觉特性使得实体书作为道具更有吸引力导致TikTok对实体书的销售影响大于电子书。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The largest group of book buyers—women aged 54 and younger—are more likely to use the app than their male peers.(最大的购书者群体是年龄在54岁及以下的女性，她们比男性更有可能使用这款应用)”可知，C选项“TikTok对54岁及以下年轻女性的购买决策有很大影响”正确。故选C。

【16题详解】
根据上文“It’s normal to feel anxious during stressful times in life, but if you’re experiencing continuous anxiety that disturbs your daily life, you may have an anxiety disorder.”（在生活中压力大的时候感到焦虑是正常的，但如果你经历了持续的焦虑，扰乱了你的日常生活，你可能患有焦虑症。）引出话题，提到焦虑症。以及后文提到“However, anxiety is typically manageable or treatable with a little effort.”（然而，焦虑通常是可以控制或治疗的。）可知，空白处应提到焦虑的消极影响，结合选项D项It can have a negative influence on your health and well-being.（它会对你的健康和幸福产生负面影响。）可知，起到的承上启下的作用，且D选项的“It”也对应前文的“an anxiety disorder”符合语境。故选D。
【17题详解】
由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。根据后文提到的“Keeping track of things that bring on or worsen anxiety symptoms will allow you to recognize when they are happening and what causes them.

【18题详解】
根据前文的“When you get anxious, your breathing quickens, which reduces the amount of oxygen your brain gets.”（当你感到焦虑时，你的呼吸会加快，从而减少大脑获得的氧气量。）可知，焦虑的时候会呼吸加快，从而减少大脑能获得的氧气。结合选项E项This makes it unable to think clearly and form logical reasoning.（这使得它无法清晰地思考和形成逻辑推理。）中的“This”指代前文这一现象，it指代大脑，并提及这个现象会带来的后果。后文则提出怎么去通过深呼吸缓解焦虑。故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sometimes difficulties can bring people closer together. The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, Jan. 31. I was working from home, but I had to leave that afternoon and go to my office at First Nations University, so I could sign an emergency financial aid check for a student. I wasn’t worried. I figured I had more than enough time to make it to the office and get back home. I arrived at the office, finished the business successfully and brought the scarves I had prepared for my two daughters to the car. To be safe, I decided to take the country roads back home instead of the highway, which could fast become a skating rink.
However, the snow started earlier than expected-and it was coming down fast! The road soon switched from paved (柏油路) to gravel (碎石路), forcing me to slow down. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow. I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. What I knew was just that I was among several big farms. I stopped because I was afraid of driving into a farmer’s field. Luckily, I had filled up my car with gas. I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911. The dispatcher (调度员) told me to sit tight and wait things out for the night—nobody was coming to get me until morning, at the earliest.
Getting out to walk in a whiteout with zero visibility, high winds and a temperature around minus 4 degrees—when I didn’t even know where I was—wasn’t an option. It was now about 7 p. m. and dark. Misfortune never came alone. I just realized that my phone has run out of battery. I was at a loss and looked around to find a way to escape from the desperate situation. Suddenly, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat shaking in the dark, carrying a flashlight and other farming tools. I invited him into the car and knew that he was Andy, a farmer living on the other side of the farm with his wife.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
The cold wind outside made him look pale and he was trembling. Without hesitation. I turned the air-conditioning up and offered him the scarves meant for my daughters. Wrapping them around himself, Andy felt much better, gratitude shining in his eyes. “I was out checking on the farm work, but the snowstorm hit earlier than expected.” he explained, his voice tinged with exhaustion. Knowing what happened, I planned to bring him back home. Therefore, with Andy’s knowledge of the surroundings and my vague sense of direction, we set off into the wintry night.
After driving in the darkness for a long time, we finally stopped before a farmhouse with lights still on. As we stepped out of the car, a lady who seemed to be Andy’s wife, rushed out, her face filled with worry and relief. Tears welled up in her eyes as she embraced her husband tightly, gratitude pouring from every gesture. As a show of appreciation, they invited me inside for a warm cup of tea, insisting I stay the night. Surrounded by the warmth of their hospitality, we shared stories and laughter late into the night, the bond forged in adversity growing stronger with each passing moment.

A
For some, rice is simply bought at the market, ready to take home and steam or boil. But have you ever wondered about the journey the grains of rice take before they reach your plate or bowl, or fork or chopsticks
Sowing the seeds
First, the seeds are sown. Sometimes, they are planted directly in the fields, but often they are sown in nurseries where they spend their first 30 days putting forth shoots and grow into seedlings (苗).
Transplanting to the fields
After about 30 days, the seedlings are transplanted to the fields. Transplanting is exhausting, tiring work that requires standing in water and repeatedly bending over.
Harvesting
When the mature plants are a golden yellow colour, the new grains are ready to harvest. Sometimes farmers use a mechanical reaper, but often they use only a sharp knife or sickle (镰刀).
Threshing (脱粒)
Threshing separates the grains from the stalks (秆). This can be done with mechanical threshers or combines, but often the stalks are simply pounded against a hard surface. When threshing is done without machinery, the rice is tied into bundles (捆) and dried in the sun first.
Drying the rice
Drying is very important because if the moisture (水分) content is too high, the freshly harvested grains will spoil easily. In many countries, the grains are laid out to dry wherever space is available, from basketball courts to sections of major highways. Wealthy farmers may put large quantities of grains into heated airdryers.
After that, some of these grains, after certain kinds of processing and transporting, will end up in your bowl; others will be saved for the seeds next year.
1. What will happen before the grains are harvested
A. Grains will be separated from stalks.
B. Seeds are usually planted in nurseries.
C. Seedlings are transplanted to fields by machines.
D. A month after seeds are sown, seedlings will be transplanted.
2. What will rich farmers probably use to dry the grains
A. Knives or sickles. B. Mechanical threshers. C. Basketball courts. D. Heated airdryers.
3. Why is the above passage written
A. To tell us the way to process rice.
B. To show the importance of rice to human beings.
C. To introduce a new way of increasing production of rice.
D. To explain what happens before rice becomes our food.
B
“Our first duty is to the place that raised us,” Omar Freilla says. “For me, it’s the South Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop.”
Although the South Bronx was one of the nation’s poorest and most polluted areas, with crowded roads and poisonous industrial sites, Omar saw a different kind of potential amidst its challenges. He envisioned a new approach to the mountains of discarded materials.
“A lot of what people throw away is perfectly good,” he says. Omar was just out of college and he started thinking about how he could get this “good garbage” to people who could use it. Instead of destroying things like old windows and doors, why not clean them up and resell them Why not hire people who live in the community to do the work Better yet, why not make this business a “cooperative”, which means that the people who work in the business own it and share the profits
To start his business, Omar put up flyers along the truck-jammed, trash-filled streets of his neighborhood, looking for people to work with him. He soon found four other dedicated workers. They rented a warehouse (仓库) and started looking for donations of used materials.
They called up hardware stores (五金店), building supply distributors, and contractors, providing free shipping from construction sites. Their warehouse began to fill up. A hardware store gave 2,000 gallons of paint that was still good but was being thrown away because it was past its expiration date (产品有效期). A distributor donated 80 new toilets from a project that had been canceled. Contractors added unwanted doors, sinks, ceiling fans—even theater seats and a giant popcorn machine!
In April 2008, Omar’s cooperative opened its doors for business and began selling construction supplies—at reasonable prices—to neighborhood builders and homeowners. With the help of city officials, he also began planning a new training program to help local residents learn the skills they need to get good jobs that help the environment and even start cooperatives of their own.
4. What was the primary motivation behind Omar’s decision to start his business in the South Bronx
A. To make a profit from selling construction supplies.
B. To address the environmental challenges in the community.
C. To compete with existing hardware stores and distributors.
D To provide job opportunities for skilled workers in the area.
5. How did Omar start his business in the South Bronx
A. He relied on his personal savings to fund the business.
B He distributed flyers to ask for donations from neighbors.
C. He sought funding from large companies to establish the business.
D. He actively engaged with his local community to gather support and resources.
6. How could hardware stores probably help with Omar’s business
A. They provide free shipping. B. They provide useful resources.
C. They provide financial support. D. They provide a cheap workforce.
7. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage
A. The Rise of Environmental Movement in the South Bronx
B. Community Cooperation: Transforming Waste into Resources
C. Omar Freilla: A New Star in the Hip-Hop Industry
D. Navigating Challenges: The Story of South Bronx Business
C
At Denver, many passengers got on the train which travelled east. In one coach, there sat a very pretty young woman, who was richly and beautifully dressed. Among the newcomers were two men. The younger one was good-looking with a bold, honest face; the other was a sad-faced person, large and dressed in cheap clothes. The two were handcuffed (用手铐铐住) together.
When they reached the coach, the only empty seats were the ones facing the pretty young woman. Here the pair seated themselves. The woman quickly looked at them, and then with a lovely smile, she held out her hand. When she spoke, her voice showed that she was used to speaking and being heard.
“Well, Mr. Easton, if you will make me speak first, I think I must. Don’t you ever say hello to old friends when you meet them in the West ”
The younger man looked surprised to hear her voice. He seemed a little embarrassed, but immediately he held her fingers with his left hand. “It’s Miss Fairchild, he said, with a smile. “I’ll ask you to excuse the other hand. I can’t use it just at present.”
He slightly raised his right hand, which was handcuffed to the left one of his partner. The delightful look in the woman’s eyes slowly changed to doubt and fear. Easton, with a little laugh, was about to speak again when the other cut him short. The sad-faced man had been watching the young woman’s face with his sharp, searching eyes.
“You’ll excuse me for speaking, Miss. But I see you know the marshal (警官) here. If you’ll ask him to speak a word for me in prison, he’ll do it. It’ll make things easier for me there. He’s taking me to Leavenworth prison. I’m going to be in prison for seven years.”
“Oh!” she said, with a deep breath and returning color. “So, that is what you are doing out here. A marshal!”
8. Why did the two men sit near the woman

C. She liked to speak to people. D. There were no other seats.

TikTok is making a mark on the world of publishing. Much of this is done through BookTok, the app’s community of users who comment on books. It is among the largest communities on the app; videos with this tag have been viewed 179 billion times, more than twice as many as BeautyTok. Whoever said books are dead has not spent much time on TikTok, nor in bookstores, which now have whole displays promoting titles “as seen on TikTok”.
Last year in Britain one in four book buyers used TikTok. Although the sales share is still very small, TikTok’s influence is significant and growing. The largest group of book buyers—women aged 54 and younger—are more likely to use the app than their male peers. TikTok recommendations influence their purchases, creating new literary stars and unearthing unlikely past ones, too.
One way to think about BookTok is as a book club for the Internet age. Just as stars like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama can cause copies to fly off bookstore shelves by updating their lists of recommended reads, BookTok does something similar. However, the tastemakers are not usually celebrities (名人) but attractive book girlies doing reading challenges, often in artfully lit bedrooms.
Some old-fashioned bibliophiles (藏书家) may suspect that BookTok is less about books than about people seeking attention by promoting them. But BookTokers are already swaying bestseller lists. For example, novels categorised as “romance” have enjoyed the biggest push due to the promotion of BookTok. In addition, because TikTok is so visual, the app has an outsize impact on sales of physical books in particular. E-books do not make such attractive visual props. BookTokers show off their notes and flick through pages. Filming themselves finishing a book in a single day against a backdrop of hundreds of them on shelves is all part of the performance, and viewers will be extra impressed if the book looks thick.
12. How has TikTok influenced the world of publishing
A. By promoting the celebrity authors and their works.
B. By encouraging people to read e-books.
C. By creating a community of users who comment on books.
D. By focusing on promoting e-books.
13. What does the underlined word “swaying” mean in the last paragraph
A. Changing direction rapidly. B. Causing change.
C. Moving back and forth. D. Remaining still.
14. What factor contributes to TikTok having a greater impact on the sales of physical books than e-books
A. The visual nature of TikTok makes physical books more appealing as props.
B. TikTok users prefer reading physical books over e-books.
C. E-books already have a more popular platform than TikTok.
D. TikTok offers discounts on physical books but not on e-books.
15. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the influence of TikTok on book sales
A. TikTok’s impact on book sales is limited to specific genres such as romantic novels.
B. The popularity of TikTok has significantly decreased the sales of physical books in bookstores.
C. TikTok has a great impact on the purchasing decisions of young women aged 54 and below.
D. TikTok’s influence on book sales primarily results from the recommendations of celebrities.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sometimes difficulties can bring people closer together. The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, Jan. 31. I was working from home, but I had to leave that afternoon and go to my office at First Nations University, so I could sign an emergency financial aid check for a student. I wasn’t worried. I figured I had more than enough time to make it to the office and get back home. I arrived at the office, finished the business successfully and brought the scarves I had prepared for my two daughters to the car. To be safe, I decided to take the country roads back home instead of the highway, which could fast become a skating rink.
However, the snow started earlier than expected-and it was coming down fast! The road soon switched from paved (柏油路) to gravel (碎石路), forcing me to slow down. The windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow. I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. What I knew was just that I was among several big farms. I stopped because I was afraid of driving into a farmer’s field. Luckily, I had filled up my car with gas. I kept the car running to stay warm and called 911. The dispatcher (调度员) told me to sit tight and wait things out for the night—nobody was coming to get me until morning, at the earliest.
Getting out to walk in a whiteout with zero visibility, high winds and a temperature around minus 4 degrees—when I didn’t even know where I was—wasn’t an option. It was now about 7 p. m. and dark. Misfortune never came alone. I just realized that my phone has run out of battery. I was at a loss and looked around to find a way to escape from the desperate situation. Suddenly, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat shaking in the dark, carrying a flashlight and other farming tools. I invited him into the car and knew that he was Andy, a farmer living on the other side of the farm with his wife.
