Blend Words
This form of being humorous is when a comedian or an actor is able to create a new term by combining two words into one. We’re aware of blend words, say, twirl (twist + wiggle) a brunch (breakfast + lunch). But what about those that are creatively made up at will These unique blends of words are what comedians come up with to tickle your funny bone.
Blunders
This kind of comedy is where the comedian or actor is seen as making a fool of himself to give way to humorous moments. Tripping over oneself and being ridiculous around people are common characteristics of this kind of comedy. This form of humor is also known as “slapstick” comedy.
Irony
Irony is a trope (修辞) that involves something inharmonious between what is expected and what occurs and therefore is a popular type of humor. Irony is described through words or actions to express something completely different from the usual meaning.
Stand-Up Comedy

On March 28, 1976, Ada Limón was born into a family of artists and teachers in Sonoma, California, U.S. By her own account, Limón fell in love with poetry in high school, but much of her time then was spent on theatre productions. She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in drama in 1998.
Limón then graduated with an M.F.A. in poetry in 2001 from the creative writing program at New York University. To support her poetry writing, Limón took a marketing job at Condé Nast, the publisher of such magazines as Vogue and The New Yorker. While her marketing career grew steadily, Limón published three books of poetry.
In 2010, her mother’s death at age 51 inspired her to reconsider her own career. She quit her marketing job and moved to Kentucky to spend her time writing full-time. In 2015, she published Bright Dead Things, which was a finalist (入围作品) for the National Book Awards. The book was praised because it expressed thoughts and feelings in a direct way, covering such themes as aging parents and lasting pain.
Aside from writing poems Ada Limón also taught at Queens University of Charlotte and hosted a radio show called The Slowdown. She saw these roles as chances to introduce more people to poetry. Her regular work in education and on the radio wasn’t just because she loved poetry; it was also about getting others to love and understand it as something important and easy to relate to in our daily lives.
Limón was named the 24th Poet Laureate in 2022. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who chose Limón as the laureate, described her as a poet who makes connections. “Her accessible, engaging poems make us aware of where we are and who we share our world with. They speak of beauty and heartbreak in ways that can help us move forward,” said Carla. In 2023, Limón wrote In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa at NASA’s request, which will be carved on the spacecraft planned for the 2024 mission to Europa.
24. What can we learn about Limón’s high school life
A. She ran a business to support poetry.
B. She preferred art learning to poetry writing.
C. She devoted much time to theatre productions.
D. She took part-time jobs while studying drama.
25. Why was Limón’s Bright Dead Things in 2015 spoken highly of
A. Because it was frank.
B. Because it was entertaining.
C. Because it was fashionable.
D. Because it was informative.
26. What is the main focus of the 4th paragraph about Limón
A. Limón’s free-time activities.
B. Limón’s reading experiences.
C. Limón’s achievements in teaching.
D. Limón’s efforts to promote poetry.
27. What did Carla Hayden probably think of Limón’s poems
A. Humorous. B. Inspiring. C. Confusing. D. Dreamy.
C
A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world.
Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.
Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”
Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.
“Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”
28. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors
A. The purple of ripe grapes.
B. The blue of butterfly wings.
C. The orange of bright rainbows.
D. The green of peacocks’ feathers.
29. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean
A. Attractive. B. Harmful. C. Neutral. D. Useless.
30. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint
A. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.
B. Colorless, healthy and artificial.
C. Traditional, healthy and cooling.
D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly.
31. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially.
B. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings.
C. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved.
D. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.

Asha Bradford doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with lots of hobbies, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes frustrated.
Her worry is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is misplaced a dozen times a day, or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. ____32____ That’s a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory, where we are focused on something other than the object we’re going to lose. Here is some advice from experts about how to overcome a tendency to misplace things:
Take pictures. ____33____ Take a picture of your parking spot. The same advice applies to lots of things: Photograph all those spots where you store easy-to-lose objects, and when you can’t find them, pull up the photo.
____34____ Dennis recommends designating (指定) a color that you love and using that color key ring and phone case, so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. You could also put reflective tape on the TV remote. It will make it easier to find when it appears.
Set up a routine. That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or designating one drawer as the scissors drawer. ____35____ Then, at the end of the day “scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots.
Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things and you start to think that there’s something wrong with you. Then, you get anxious about that and even less likely to focus and keep track of your belongings. ____36____
A. Invest in technology.
B. Make your belongings stand out.
C. So remember to treat yourself well.
D. Did you ever have trouble starting your car
E. Losing things results from absentmindedness.
F. In this way, you make a “home” for everything.
G. Ever wander around the parking lot because you can’t find your car

Built to protect ancient China from invasions, the wall stands as a symbol of the wisdom and determination of the Chinese people. Walking along its ancient stones, I would feel a deep connection to the past.
Moreover, the Great Wall offers impressive scenery, with parts of it winding through mountains and forests. Exploring this wonder of human engineering would be an unforgettable adventure, allowing me to appreciate both its history and natural beauty.
