We’ve gathered up some fun things to do in DC this holiday weekend.

Little Shop of Horrors
Originally a sci-fi/horror comedy film released in 1960, Little Shop of Horrors then became an off-Broadway musical in the early 1980s.

As my wife puts it, “Animals have overtaken our lives.”
I was on the air last week when Daisy, our dog, ate a bittersweet chocolate bar heartily. We hide chocolate from her; it can be dangerous for dogs. But Daisy is the Hercule Poirot of hidden sweets. An empty wrapper in her mouth told the tale.
Our family rushed Daisy to a vet clinic, where—well, I’ll spare you the details. Daisy is fine now, but our hearts are just restarting.
We are also caring for a huge, white cat we’ve named Gato Blanco. He claws furniture on his hind (后部的) legs, like Catzilla tearing down a Tokyo bridge. Every chair in our apartment is now covered with sheets, towels, or plastic wrap. We keep a window open, no matter the weather, because one of our daughters is allergic to cats. But she wants to keep Gato close, even as he knocks photos, flowers, pens and my microphone off tables, with a smart forehand.
Our feline lodger (猫科房客) also climbed onto a planter outside our apartment and strolled over to the other side of the building, seven floors up. Is that Spider-Man No—it’s Gato!
Daisy the dog sits beneath our dinner table, quivering and blinking her large, dewy eyes. Some of us may let a few pieces of food fall her way from time to time. We can’t let her get too excited, though, because she has a tendency to... well, more details to spare. We keep towels handy for such episodes of excitement.
Gato Blanco, meanwhile, leaps onto our table. But not to eat, just to hang with the cool kids, our daughters. “Hey, how was your day,” I imagine him saying. “We gonna watch something after dinner ”
Our family may complain as we sneeze, mop, and search the floor for our missing pens. But we also hold our animals close as they help us laugh, marvel, and care for them, and for each other. Our lives have been overtaken by our animals. And we’re having a troublesome and wonderful time.
24. What do we know about Daisy
A. She is allergic to cats. B. She has a heart problem.
C. She doesn’t get excited easily. D. She is good at finding sweets.
25. What can Gato do
A. Fly like Spider-Man. B. Make a mess of the room.
C. Talk like a real human. D. Tear down a Tokyo bridge.

27. What is the purpose of the text
A. To warn readers against keeping pets at home.
B. To give advice on what species of animals to buy.
C. To share their stories and feelings about keeping pets.
D. To entertain readers with dark humour jokes about pets.

Students have submitted more than 22 million papers that may have used generative AI in the past year, new data provided by plagiarism (剽窃) detection company Turnitin shows.
A year ago, Turnitin introduced an AI writing detection tool that was trained on its database of papers written by students as well as other AI-generated texts. Turnitin found that 11 percent of the submissions may contain AI-written language in 20 percent of its content, with 3 percent of the total papers reviewed having 80 percent or more AI writing.
ChatGPT’s launch was met with fears that the English class essay would die. The chatbot can process information near-instantly—but that doesn’t mean it always gets it right. Generative AI has been known to create its own facts and cite academic references that don’t actually exist. Generative AI chatbots have also been caught producing discriminatory (歧视性的) text on gender and race. Despite those disadvantages, students have used chatbots for research, and organizing ideas. Traces of chatbots have even been found in published academic writing.
Detecting the use of generative AI is tricky. It’s not as easy as marking plagiarism, because generated text is still original text. Plus, there’s a slight difference to how students use generative AI; some may ask chatbots to write their papers for them in large parts or in full, while others may use the tools as an aid or a brainstorm partner.
Detection tools themselves have a risk of discrimination. English language learners may be more likely to set them off; a 2023 study found a 61.3 percent false positive rate when evaluating Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exams with seven different AI detectors.
“This is hard. I understand why people want a tool,” says Emily Isaacs, executive director of the Office of Faculty Excellence at Montclair State. But Isaacs says the university is concerned about potentially discriminatory results from AI detectors, as well as the fact that the tools can’t provide confirmation the way they can with plagiarism.
28. What did Turnitin find
A. All submitted papers were written by generative AI.
B. AI wrote 80% of the content of the papers they had collected.
C. AI could only be used to improve language instead of content of papers.
D. AI may have created one fifth of the content among 11% of the submitted papers.
29. What can we learn about generative AI
A. It sometimes produces discriminatory content.
B. It will surely lead to the death of English class essays.
C. It’s getting popular for its accuracy and quick response.
D. It has been officially accepted in published academic writing.
30. What do Paragraphs 4-5 mainly focus on
A. The ways to detect plagiarism in paper writing.
B. The challenges of using plagiarism detection tools.
C. The differences between plagiarism and original writing.
D. The advantages of applying AI detectors to fighting plagiarism.
31. How does Emily Isaacs respond to the use of detection tools
A. She supports it. B. She’s against it.
C. She doesn’t care. D. She’s cautious.
D
A recent study by UCLA Health discovered that women who feel lonely show brain activity in areas linked to cravings and the drive to eat, particularly when viewing images of high-calorie foods like sugary treats. These women also displayed unhealthy eating habits and suffered from poor mental health.
Arpana Gupta, Ph.D., a researcher and co-director of the UCLA Goodman-Luskin Microbiome Center, wanted to research the negative impacts of loneliness, especially as people continue to be working remotely after the COVID-19 pandemic, and how the brain interacts with social isolation, eating habits, and mental health. While it is established that obesity is linked to depression and anxiety and that overeating is understood to be a coping mechanism (机制) against loneliness, Gupta wanted to observe the brain pathways associated with these feelings and behaviors.
The researchers surveyed 93 women about their support system and their feelings of loneliness and isolation, then separated them into two groups: those who scored high on the perceived social loneliness scale, and those who scored low. The researchers found that women who had higher levels of social loneliness tended to have higher fat mass, lower diet quality, reward-based eating, and uncontrolled eating, and increased levels of anxiety and depression.
The women were then shown pictures of food versus non-food, sweet food versus non-food, and savory food versus non-food. MRI scans recorded the participants’ brain activity while they viewed these images.
The researchers found that the group of women who perceived themselves to be lonely experienced increased activation in regions of the brain associated with greater drive to eat sugary foods, and decreased activation in the brain region associated with self-control toward eating behaviors.
“These findings are interesting because it provides evidence for what we intuitively (直觉地) know,” Gupta said. “When people are alone or lonely, it impacts more than how they are feeling; they underreport what they eat, and their desire to eat unhealthy foods.”
32. Which word is closest in meaning to “craving” in Paragraph 1
A. Desire. B. Willingness. C. Discipline. D. Ambition.
33. What’s the function of Paragraph 2
A. Providing earlier research results.
B. Explaining the research methods.
C. Introducing the research background.
D. Telling the significance of the research.
34. Which of the following statements matches the findings of this research
A. The lonelier women feel, the less they eat.
B. Obesity is linked to depression and anxiety.
C. Loneliness can drive women to eat more sugary food.
D. Lonely women often lie about their mental problems.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Eating the Way to Happiness B. Feeding the Lonely Brain
C. Loneliness Leads to Obesity D. Food Sweetens Sad Souls

No matter where you are on the planet, the effects of the climate crisis are vast and real. We know individual actions can only get us so far, and solving the issue of climate change is the job of governments. 36 Here are some tips for what we individuals can do to help work toward a more sustainable future.
Switch to climate friendly home appliances
By using home appliances and vehicles that run on electricity, we can help reduce our carbon footprint and leave more fossil fuels in the ground. Here are a few appliances to consider，such as clothing dryers with the “Energy Star” label and water heaters that use heat pump technology. 37 So don’t feel like you have to change out your appliances overnight. Instead, buy them as your existing machines wear out.
Eat less meat
Meat production is hard on the environment: It requires a lot of land to raise cattle — and globally, many forests are being cleared to make room for those animals. 38 If people could cut back their beef consumption, it could have a major impact on creating a more sustainable food system.
Freeze produce you can’t use right away
About 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from wasted food, and roughly half of all food waste occurs during “the consumption stage”. One of the best tools to help reduce wasted food The freezer. If you’re not ready to use fresh fruit and vegetables right away, freeze them. 39
Cut back on plastic
The plastics problem is overwhelming. 40 Are you using a bottle of body wash Replace it with a bar of soap. Bring your own bags for groceries instead of packing your goods in plastic bags, or your favorite reusable cup to your local coffee shop.
A. This locks in flavor and nutrients.
B. But we also know that our decisions matter.
C. And cows themselves release a lot of methane.
D. That means we should not use the old appliances any more.
E. Making these upgrades to your home and lifestyle will cost money.
F. The most effective thing you can do is to figure out how much you use.
G. So governments should make policies to solve climate change problem.

The virtue of frugality (节俭) has made a major comeback among China’s young consumers. According to data 56 (release) by iiMedia Research, 72.49 percent of young Chinese prefer to save rather than overspend.
Compared to their parents, 57 sense of frugality is rooted in memories, frugality among young Chinese is a matter of choice rather than necessity. This new form of frugality is not a complete denial (否定) of consumerism, 58 a form of smart spending aimed at achieving a balance between price and the quality of goods.
This new trend has driven the rapid 59 (grow) of China’s secondhand economy, as young consumers shift their focus from chasing after new things 60 recycling old items. A report showed that the market value of secondhand items rose from 300 billion yuan in 2015 to over 1 trillion yuan in 2020, and 61 (expect) to hit 3 trillion yuan in 2025.
Despite 62 shared goal of saving money, frugal living is 63 (actual) leading a kind of low-cost life. The temporary excitement, which often 64 (accompany) a shopping experience, holds less attraction for today’s young Chinese. 65 truly attracts their attention is the sense of fulfillment that comes with strategic spending and saving.

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。
My fourth of July vacation began with a scream. “Tara!” I jumped, my eyelids snapping open. I realized that my four-year-old sister, Tammy, was staring down at me. I struggled to push her off me as she bounced on my legs, she screamed, and then ran out of my room.
It was as if Tammy never did anything wrong. If Tammy got angry, Mom would say she was trying to get her point across. When Tammy broke a plate, Dad said she was just “helping” me empty the dishwasher. When Tammy scribbled (乱涂乱画) all over the wall, instead of scolding her, my parents chuckled and said, “She’s turning into an artist just like you, Tara.”
We were flying to Utah to visit my grandma for the Fourth of July. Every year I draw Grandma a picture for her birthday, but I sighed as I considered about what picture I should draw this time. When we walked off the plane, I was relieved to see the smiling face of my grandma. We raced over to her.
“Hi, sweetheart.” Grandma got down on one knee to hug Tammy and then swung her in the air. Tammy screamed with laughter. Then Grandma hugged me. “It’s so good to see you too, Tara.”
After six hours of flight, I was exhausted—six hours of listening to Tammy scream with delight again and again and again. I wanted to be alone, so I went outside with my sketchbook and colored pencils. Looking at the scenery, I felt inspired to work on Grandma’s drawing. As I admired the shading on the mountains and the swirls of the sunset, I smiled to myself and thought, this is the best picture I have ever made.
Before I finished my picture, Mom was calling me inside for dinner. When I walked back into the room, and my heart stopped. Tammy was lying on the bed, scribbling on a piece of paper. Tammy saw me frozen in the doorway, she jumped from the bed. She ran over to me and grinned. “I drew you a picture.” she shouted.
“Out!” I screamed angrily, and she ran out of the room. I ran over to the bed. I picked up the paper, and it was just as I’d feared. My drawing had black scribbles all over it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mom appeared in the doorway with Tammy by her side.

Dear Editor,
Having experienced the Summer Camp themed “Choosing a healthy life style”, I deeply realize that health plays an essential role in life. Previous to this, I was always in bad condition, both physically and psychologically, because of lack of sleep and unhealthy diet.
Luckily, after attending your camp, I have made a shift from sugary drinks and biscuits to more green vegetables and fruits. In addition, I prefer to go to bed early rather than stay up late playing video games. Better still, I get refreshed through running for an hour every day.
The results have been fantastic. I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever. Not merely do I harvest a healthy body, but it also boosts confidence in myself—I CAN change myself. I just need to try.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Dear Editor,
After participating in the “Choosing a Healthy Lifestyle” summer camp, I have gained a profound understanding of the essential role health plays in our lives. Previously, my physical and mental well-being suffered due to insufficient sleep and a poor diet.
Fortunately, the camp inspired significant changes in my lifestyle. I’ve transitioned from consuming sugary drinks and snacks to including more vegetables and fruits into my diet. I’ve also replaced late-night gaming sessions with a healthier habit of going to bed early. Additionally, I’ve started running for an hour daily, which has greatly invigorated me.
These changes have yielded remarkable results. I feel more energetic and stronger than ever before. Not only have I achieved a healthier body, but I’ve also gained confidence in my ability to transform myself. It’s clear now that change is possible with determination and effort.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

One possible version
Mom appeared in the doorway with Tammy by her side. Tammy was sniffling, tears rolling down her chubby cheeks. Mom’s gaze shifted to my picture, which I held with shaking hands. She gently pushed Tammy out of the room. She shut the door and sat down next to me, “Tara,” she whispered, “I’m so sorry. I know you worked hard on that. Tammy is challenging sometimes. But you yelling at her doesn’t solve anything.” It felt as if a dam inside of me broke. I sighed and glared at my mom. Darkness fell quickly. Mom laid out some blankets in the yard for us to sit on to watch the fireworks. Tammy was strangely quiet, sitting on the grass and staring up at the night sky, and I felt torn how to present the picture to grandma.
I gathered up the courage to walk over to Grandma. Grandma looked up at me, her eyes sparkling. I handed her the picture I had drawn, the one that Tammy had ruined. Grandma took it into her hands and said. “Oh, Tara, I love it!” She smiled at me. “Do you know why I love it so much This picture represents the bond you and Tammy share. If you look closely at the picture, there was a faint scribble of two stick-figure girls holding hands and screaming with delight.” I sat down on the blanket next to Tammy and hugged her. I had been so worried about not having the perfect Fourth of July vacation that I forgot about what mattered most.

As a younger man, I always considered myself pretty fit and healthy. It’s true that I didn’t take very good care of myself. I ate whatever I wanted—usually hamburgers, potato chips and chocolate! (18) I rarely took exercise, but I was slim and didn’t have any real health problems. So, I wasn’t worried. All that changed in 2016. That was the year I turned 40. I began putting on weight. I had weighed 70 kilos since the age of 20, but suddenly I was 10 kilos heavier! I felt different physically, too. I felt tired and began to suffer from knee pain. Then my headache began to get more and more serious, so I had to see the doctor. She told me the cause was high blood pressure. (19) If I didn’t pay much attention to my health, I risked developing heart problems. That really shocked me. So, I took action immediately. I joined a gym that day and began working out at least three times a week. (20) I also changed my diet. I still eat chocolate. It is hard to give up my favorite. But I’ve also discovered my love for salads! Since then, I’ve lost the weight I gained and now I feel so much better. My advice for younger people would be never to take your good health for granted!
