In 2016, inspired by a challenge called the “16 for 16”, where a mother gave her daughter $1,600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media, Lorna Klefsaas decided to up the ante (赌注) to two extra years and $200 more for her son, Sivert Klefsaas.
As a 12-year-old, Sivert wasn’t using social media much. The only app he had prior to the bet was Snapchat — which he deleted a day after trying it out. So it wasn’t too difficult to live without social media, and he didn’t think about it much during the six years. “I wouldn’t say there was ever a time when I thought I was about to break,” he said. “As it went on, it was more of a pride thing.”
Lorna never had to check for any secretly downloaded apps “I got to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there. I had my friends to keep me up to date on the latest information or trends.” Sivert said. “It meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead.”
On February 19, 2022, Sivert claimed his prize. Now $1,800 richer, Sivert hasn’t thought about what to buy, but it’ll likely be something for his dorm room at the University of St. Paul, which he’ll attend in the fall.
After Sivert’s success, Lorna turned to Facebook to share the challenge. She said it was some of the best money she ever spent. Other parents seemed interested in trying it out too. “We are certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy using of it,” Lorna noted. “It’s about not letting yourself get weighed down by it, or addicted to it, or affected by things that people post.”
Now Sivert has a new perspective on staying off social media. “It was awesome. Ah, what about 6 more years Thank you, Mom.”
24. Why did Lorna bet her son
A. To persuade. B.To challenge. C. To punish. D. To imitate.
25. How did Sivert respond to the bet
A He almost became broken down.
B. He tried out his new app continuously.
C. He jumped at the idea and stuck to it.
D. He just downloaded an app, Snapchat.
26. How did Sivert get through the six years without social media
A. By aiming at his academic standards.
B. By watching dramas in the theater.
C. By being monitored by his mother.
D. By dreaming of his prize with eagerness.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage
A. A successful 18-for-18 bet. B. A social media campaign.
C. Sivert, a boy who won the bet. D. Lorna, a mother who awarded her son.
C
Humans’ ever spreading presence around the globe influences patterns of biological evolution in ways that we are just beginning to explore. On the Galápagos Islands, a body of evidence shows that the effect of our presence is increasing.
Luis F. De Leon from the University of Massachusetts Boston, together with other 6 scientists spent two years observing Darwin’s finches (雀科小鸟) to evaluate our effects on their behavior. They started by conducting feeding observations on coexisting finch species at sites that ranged from non-urban areas to urban areas. They also employed finch-human interaction experiments to test whether and how finches respond to human presence. To measure whether finch feeding preferences varied with the degree of urbanization, “cafeteria” experiments were carried out — finches were presented with a selection of human and native food items.
The scientists found that Darwin’s finches fed almost on human foods like rice and cookies or introduced garden species at urban locations. In contrast, at non-urban sites, finches fed mainly on native plant species and insects. Interaction tests suggest that urban birds get more accustomed to the presence of humans. Finally, at all sites of regular human presence, finches preferred human foods to natural foods.
The researchers warn that exploiting urban environments might present challenges for organisms (有机体), including shorter lifespans brought by the consumption of highly processed foods. Furthermore, the year-round availability of abundant human foods in urban environments might affect ecological and evolutionary processes that promoted species diversity. While the results clearly show a shift to human foods at urban sites, the adaptive significance of that shift is still an open question.
These findings also suggest that human behavior is the main driver of finch preference for human foods. The researchers propose a possibility that the effect of human behavior is facilitated by our tendency to feed birds, directly or inadvertently via food dropping or littering.
28. How did the scientists carry out the study
A.By observing finches in different sites.
B. By training finches and observing results
C. By carrying out experiments in labs.
D. By analyzing findings from previous experiments.
29. Which is probably finches’ favorite food at non-urban sites frequently visited by humans
A. An insect. B. Rice.
C The leaves of a native plant D. The seed of an introduced plant.
30. What can we learn from the findings
A. All finches observed are willing to approach humans.
B. The reason for the shift of finch diets remains unknown.
C. Human food availability might lead to biodiversity loss.
D. The more processed foods finches consume, the longer they live.
31. What does the underlined word in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Illegally. B. Voluntarily. C. Deliberately. D. Unintentionally.
D
Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500kg and eat roughly 40kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks here help the seagrass meadows thrive. A flourishing seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores (食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This begged the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay--would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed.“When unchecked, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass,”said Nowicki.“When the seagrass recovers, the seagrass community looks different, with more tropical species dominating than before.”
Those findings underlined the role that tiger sharks were playing in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline, the recovery of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.
When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions.“Ultimately, if we are going to conserve our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species conservation at the same time.”
32. Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem
A. They feed on various sea animals.
B. They can store large amounts of CO2.
C. They influence marine species distribution.
D.They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
33. What did Rob Nowicki’s team want to find out in Eastern Australia
A. How sea cows destroy the seagrass community.
B. How shark population influences the ocean ecosystem.
C. What was contributing to the declining number of tiger sharks.
D. What to do to recover the seagrass-dominated ecosystem.
34. What is the main reason for the population reduction of many top predators in marine ecosystems
A. Climate change. B. Water pollution.
C.Unsustainable fishing practices. D. Loss of seagrass.
35. What is the ultimate way to protect sharks, according to Nowicki
A. Regulating fishing activities. B. Solving ocean pollution problems.
C. Establishing natural reserves. D. Reducing our carbon footprint.

My husband and I were out shopping on a cold windy day. On the way out of the parking lot, we saw a man standing on the grass, holding a sign. The sign didn’t say anything about needing money or food, but simply said, “Help would be appreciated !” My husband wanted to give him some money, but he just had credit cards with him, so he picked up a bag of fast food and gave it to the man. But thinking about what we gave wouldn’t be enough, we parked and asked him to go to a restaurant with us. He looked at us for a moment as if we were crazy, but then followed us. The man told us that he was trying to save money for some candles that can warm him up, not for food that day. My heart broke. I explained that it was our treat and he could pick out anything he wanted from the menu. He said he always wanted to try a double cheeseburger, but had never got the chance. So we bought him a double cheeseburger and a cup of hot coffee. The total was around nine dollars. It was a piece of cake for us, but the world to him. He said he had lost his flat after losing his job. Since then he’d lived in a tent because the shelters were full and he wanted to leave room for women and children. Then, he began to enjoy the delicious meal.

第一节（One possible version）
Dear Jim,
Hope this letter finds you well. I’m Li Hua, captain of the ping-pong team of Hongxing Middle School. We are more than delighted to receive your invitation, and it’ll be a privilege for us to attend the match in Beijing.
As it will be an away game for our team, we would like to get more information. Could you please let us know whether accommodation will be provided Also, a detailed schedule for the activity will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for the invitation. I’m looking forward to your reply. Hope the match will be held successfully.

One possible version:
After he finished eating, we went to a store and bought some candles for him. As he held the candles in his hands, he expressed his gratitude to us sincerely. We could sense a glimmer of hope in his eyes, a belief that things might improve for him. Then we said goodbye. We saw that man in the parking lot a couple more times. We would give him a few dollars if we had any cash with us. Then one day, he just wasn’t there. A year passed and we never met again.
One day, my husband and I went to a fast-food restaurant to treat ourselves. We heard a voice say “hi” while we were looking up at the menu. It was that man. He had been working there for eight months. He was preparing to get a flat, too. So happy for him! We talked about how his life was going before there was a line behind us. Then I said we should probably pick something and get out of the way. He said, “I’ll treat you.” He set down a tray in front of us, with double cheeseburgers and hot coffee. At that moment, I realized that sometimes, all it takes is a genuine desire to help, even in the smallest ways, to make a positive impact on someone’s life.

Lastly, our School’s Debate Team has made it to the regional finals! They will compete next month, and we’re organizing a bus for students who wish to go and support them. Please sign up at the school office if you’re interested.
I hope to see many of you participating in and supporting these events. Let’s make this month memorable!
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者和丈夫外出购物的时候在停车场遇到了一个请求帮助的男人，丈夫因为身上没有带钱，所以拿了一袋快餐给他。感觉自己做得还不够，作者和丈夫请这个男人去餐馆吃饭，他告诉两人他想买蜡烛取暖，而不是食物。作者解释是他们请客，让这个男人自己挑选食物，最后给他买了双层芝士汉堡和热咖啡。虽然这对作者和丈夫来说微不足道，但对这个男人却很重要，他说自己失业后失去了房子，现在一直住在帐篷里。说完后，他开始享受食物。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他吃完后，我们去商店给他买了一些蜡烛。”可推知，第一段可描写他向“我们”表示感谢，以及后来“我们”和他交往的情况。
②由第二段首句内容“一天，我和丈夫去一家快餐店犒劳自己。”可推知，第二段可描写“我们”与他相遇，谈论起他的近况，他反过来请“我们”吃食物，“我”当时产生奇妙的感受。
