Some people never read any books again and feel that since they already know the outcome, there is nothing to be gained by rereading. I have to dissent.
I am reminded of a professor in college, who always had us read our assignments twice. “The first time, read fast and for fun,” he said. “The second time, look for delicate distinctions and small differences in meaning.” His suggestion works great for me.
When I have a new book, I read fast, eager to discover the resolution. Then if I like the book, I will read it again. Not right away, but a few months later, possibly on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I will grab the book and settle down to discover the small details. I will read more slowly the second time, appreciating the descriptions and looking forward to my favorite sections, enjoying the anticipation. Knowing those favorite passages are coming does not spoil anything. I'm looking forward to revisiting those treasured places in the book. Knowing they are coming heightens my enjoyment.
Rereading a book gives me a chance to appreciate the small things an author integrates into her story. A turn of a character’s head, a thought in the night, a sigh, these are the things that give insights into a book and the characters. I love dissecting (剖析) a story the second time around, looking for clues that give the tale a deep meaning. Reading is like revisiting a friend, familiar, yet always with something more inside.
What have I been reading lately The Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart. These books rank among my all-time favorite rereads. Set in Britain in roughly the second half of the 5th century CE, they were Mary Stewart’s take on the familiar King Arthur stories. If you are unfamiliar with them, I highly recommend all three books, especially if you love fantasy and historical fiction.
24. What does the underlined word “descent” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Understand. B. Disagree. C. Complain. D. Discontinue.
25. According to the author’s professor, what should one do during the second reading
A. Look for assignment clues. B. Pay attention to the finer details.
C. Stick to the most interesting sections. D. Skip some parts to get to the end fast.
26. What does the author enjoy about rereading a book
A. Visiting the places mentioned in the book.
B. Discovering the resolution of the story quickly.
C. Finding out the lessons learned by the characters.
D. Appreciating the writer’s storytelling techniques.
27. What is The Merlin Trilogy
A. The author's new favorites.
B. A series of science-fiction novels.
C. Books based on ancient British stories.
D. Mary Stewart’s successful adaptations.

When Kurt Benirschke started collecting skin samples from endangered animals in 1972, he didn’t have a firm plan on what to do with them. As a researcher at the University of California San Diego, he believed that one day these samples would be used to save these animals. A few years later, he moved his collection to the San Diego Zoo, and called it the Frozen Zoo.
For a long time, it was the only project of its kind; however, in recent years, similar conservation efforts have spread globally, and tools Benirschke didn’t have are now available. Today, the Frozen Zoo is the world’s largest animal cryobank (生物冷冻库), holding samples from over 10,500 individual animals from 1,220 species, in the hope that one day science can bring them back as a species.
The Frozen Zoo’s advanced technology is the key to its success in saving species from extinction. By using cryopreservation techniques, the zoo can store cells and tissues from endangered animals. The stored genetic material can be used for research, breeding (繁殖) programs, and potentially cloning or genetic engineering to restore endangered species.
By protecting the genetic heritage of endangered animals, the Frozen Zoo provides hope for the survival of species that would otherwise be at risk of dying out. It has inspired the establishment of similar cryobanks worldwide, expanding efforts to conserve endangered species. These cryobanks contribute to the global network of genetic resources, improving cooperation and knowledge exchange. By demonstrating the potential of technology in the preservation of biodiversity, the Frozen Zoo serves as a powerful tool in raising awareness and driving change.
The Frozen Zoo is like a time capsule, preserving the genetic heritage of endangered species for future generations. It reminds us about the importance of conservation and offers a window into a world that could otherwise be lost forever.
28. What do we know about the Frozen Zoo
A. It is the world’s oldest and largest animal cryobank.
B. It started with a detailed plan led by Kurt Benirschke.
C. It is a project to explore the evolution of animal species.
D. It was established to protect animals in the San Diego Zoo.
29. How does the Frozen Zoo save species from extinction
A. By expanding their natural habitats.
B. By raising their survival rate with genetic technology.
C. By preserving their genetic material for further research.
D. By innovating breeding techniques to increase their population.
30. Why does the author mention “time capsule” in the last paragraph
A. To emphasize the importance of the Frozen Zoo.
B. To explain the urgency of saving endangered species.
C. To prove the potential value of preserving biodiversity.
D. To demonstrate the necessity of cooperative conservation efforts.
31. What words could best describe the Frozen Zoo project
A. Costly and worthwhile. B. Profitable and instructive.
C. Conservative and effective. D. Pioneering and significant.
D
These days, Fred’s huge skeleton (骨架) is exhibited in the Indiana State Museum. His tusks (长牙) were recently the subject of a research study tracing the life 13,000 years ago of mastodons, distant relatives of modern elephants.
By analyzing the chemical compounds (化合物) in Fred’s tusks, a team of researchers could construct a detailed account of his seasonal migration patterns. Josh Miller, a paleoecologist (古生态学家) at the University of Cincinnati, is one of the researchers studying Fred. “He has beautifully preserved bones and tusks, which provides a great opportunity for our research on his seasonal migration patterns,” Miller said.
Mastodons’ tusks generally grow in distinct layers, similar to the tree rings. As a result, the nutrients that build the layers of their tusks can tell us a lot about what they experienced. The team particularly focused their analysis on the variations in two elements in the layers: strontium (锶) and oxygen. The former is the key to understanding where Fred spent his life, while the latter tells us the season he was in any particular region. Then, with some statistical modeling, Miller and his team gained insight into the daily record of Fred’s behavior over ten thousand years ago.
The result indicated that Fred would have grown a lot when he was young. But there’s a year when his growth is reduced. “Probably like the modern male elephant, a male mastodon is just really obnoxious when growing up to be a bother and often arouses family members’ anger. At that point, the mom and aunts will essentially kick him out of the family.” Miller predicted.
After Fred set off to attend to himself, his tusks reflected where he travelled around. Based on the analysis, Fred would return to mate every summer in Northeastern Indiana, because his tusks started to show signs of injuries around this time. When competing for mates, mastodons get into huge battles with their own natural weapons sharp tusks. And that was exactly what brought Fred’s story to an untimely end.
32. What did Miller’s study mainly focus on
A. Effective ways of tusk preservation. B. Inner structure of Fred’s skeleton.
C. Possible tracks of Fred’s migration. D. Special functions of mastodon tusks.
33. How did researchers learn about Fred’s behavior in the ancient age
A. By analyzing nutrients in Fred’s bones.
B. By reviewing statistical records of previous studies.
C. By modeling data of chemical elements in Fred’s tusks.
D. By referring to the growth of tree rings to study Fred’s tusk layers.
34. What can be inferred about Fred from the last paragraph
A. He was killed by his opponents. B. He reunited with his family later.
C. He was drawn to cross-species fights. D. He was weak in living independently.
35. In which section of a newspaper will the article appear
Geology. B. Culture. C. Education. D. Science.

Four surprising ways algae (藻类) are driving innovation
Algae can be a double-edged sword. Increased human activity and climate change have caused explosions of algae populations in water bodies around the world sometimes choking entire ecosystems of sunlight and oxygen. Even though they are so closely associated with humanity’s negative impact on Earth, algae could also play key roles in helping fight pollution, viruses, and more. 36
Filtering (过滤) water.
With microplastic pollution documented in almost all water bodies, a recent study shows that through absorption, algae can help filter microplastics out of water. 37
Fueling air travel.
38 Researchers at a German algae cultivation facility are already using it to fuel drones. They believe this and other sustainable fuels could reduce carbon emissions from airplanes by up to 80 percent.
Fighting viruses.
Red algae can prevent the replication (复制) of some viruses, including COVID-19, according to a 2020 study. 39 Thus, it could become a powerful medication to treat HIV, the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (AIDS).
40
In 2019, freshwater algae were launched into space to turn the carbon dioxide exhaled (呼出) by astronauts on the International Space Station into oxygen. Since algae are also high in protein, they could replace up to 30 percent of astronaut food in the future.
Making space food more nutritious.
Making long-term space travel possible.
These are several ways algae are solving modern problems.
Some algae can also filter chemicals that can be used in fertilizers.
Brown algae have been shown to stimulate the body’s immune system.
Algae can produce more effective biofuels than traditional sources like soybeans.
It aims to harvest algae for energy while keeping the environment pollution-free.

I 52 .” He stared at the plate of cookies greedily, but there was still a glint of 53 in his eyes. “Not one word about my hair ” He looked at me challengingly.
“It’s only hair,” I said. “It’s your hair. Not mine.” Anthony smiled broadly, saying, “Thanks for 54 understanding me, Mom. And thanks for the cookies.” Now I’ve learned to let go of the “it’s only” 55 , and Anthony is more willing to listen to me.

It was ten years ago. I was at the departure gates of the airport, reading a cartoon book to pass the time while waiting for my parents to check in. A sea of people filled the airport and loud chatter echoed (回响) throughout the vast terminal (航站楼) halls. People were coming in and out of countless doors.
The cartoon shop caught my eye, for it was filled with cartoon figurines (小雕像). I caught sight of a new figurine from my favourite cartoon, “One Piece” it was an action figurine of my favourite character, Luffy! My jaw dropped to the floor and my eyes brightened like diamonds.
Without thinking twice, I ran towards the store. Holding the action figurine carefully in my hands, I imagined the scenes I could come up with using my action figurines at home. Filled with excitement, I hugged the toy and jumped for joy. Unfortunately, I did not have any money on me. Without doubt, I knew I had to share this newfound discovery with my parents!
After returning the action figurine to its shelf, I darted (飞奔) out of the store, retracing my steps back to where I had left my parents. When I reached the location where I had last seen them, I realised that they were nowhere to be found. I tried to look for the terminal departure gate my parents were supposed to be waiting at, but the gates all looked the same. As I stood rooted to the ground, my excitement started to die down. Anxiety enveloped me and my heart started pounding in my chest.
Tears rolled down my hot cheeks like a waterfall as I blamed myself. Why did I have to get distracted and leave my parents without informing them There were thousands of people at the airport! It would be impossible to find them! Regretting my actions, I blamed myself silently.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

When it comes to the future career, I have been dreaming of becoming a lawyer since childhood.
To achieve my dream, I must work diligently for the time being to have a good command of knowledge. Only through hard work can I be admitted to my ideal university where I will major in law. Besides, I should also build myself up, which is the basic condition for my progress in study.
In short, I hope my efforts today will pay off next year and I can have a bright future and a meaningful life!

Suddenly, my mother’s advice echoed in my mind: “If you are ever lost, don’t panic! Stay calm, and ask for help!” Now I got into this mess, so I must get myself out of it! I wiped away my tears and looked for the signs which could lead me to the information counter. Following the signs, I reached the information counter. I nervously asked the lovely staff to help me find my parents. The lady reassured me with a kind smile, before beginning her announcement into the speaker, “Attention, there’s a missing child at the information counter at Terminal D...”
A few minutes later, my parents, extremely breathless, appeared at the information counter. My face lit up as soon as I saw them. “Mum! Dad!” I called out. I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me and jumped into my mother’s welcoming arms. With tears streaming down her face, my mother praised me for staying calm. Excitedly, I filled my parents in on my little adventure, from realising I had gotten lost to finally reuniting with them. After listening to my tale, they enveloped me in a warm hug.

W: Most babies first learn to walk and talk before developing any skills or hobbies, but this was not in the case of 15-year-old Australian artist Aelita Andre.When she was 9 months old, she started to learn painting by herself. By the age of one year and ten months, her first painting was in London Art Gallery. She had her first solo exhibition in Manhattan when she was just four years old. The show was called “The Prodigy of Colors”. Aelita’s exhibition in Manhattan was displayed for three weeks straight. All her 24 artworks were sold there within a week. The price was ranging from $4,000 to $10,000. Aelita’s work gained popularity and fame, and her artworks began appearing in the big galleries all over the world.
