Several years ago, I read about William Helmreich walking every street in New York City. I thought, “I can do
that for Montreal.” With little hesitation, I devoted the next five years of my life to the project.
I never walked through any shabby （破旧的） neighborhoods. From one end of my map to the other, all
houses were well looked after. People went to great lengths to decorate their homes, and with this came one of the
（北京）股份有限公司
great pleasures of my walks: the different measures they took to decorate their frontage （正面）. I discovered that
pigs are a popular decorative element throughout the city. The type that is dressed up as humans, I mean. I saw pigs
wearing dresses, shirts and even swimming costumes.
Every outing has its wonders. Never assume a neighborhood has little of interest to offer. You must be trained
to seek out strange things. Otherwise, you might never spot the clothes on the sidewalks. If I stopped to collect
everything I saw lying around abandoned, I could fit out a small country. Where did they come from How did
people lose their shoes while walking out A puzzle.
As my project progressed, I felt like I owned the city. I could get off at any subway station and my feet
remembered the route to the best shops. There was enough fun in my walks that I’d have a few laughs and feel
more light-hearted than when I left.
Anyone can get in on this walking game. I admit with some shame. I used to huddle （蜷缩） in my part of
town. feeling separated, but walking its streets has truly opened my eyes to Montreal’s full menu. Now I’m quite
satisfied with what l gain. So just head to a neighborhood to nose around. I can assure you that you’ll feel like a
pioneer with the discoveries you bring back.
24．Why did the author decide to walk the streets of Montreal
A．She wanted to collect strange things. B．She wanted to do some research.
C．She had to carry out a project. D．She drew inspiration from an article.
25．What do we know about the neighborhoods in Montreal
A．The shabby houses are abandoned. B．People enjoy dressing up as pigs.
C．People enjoy decorating their houses. D．All the houses are equal in length.
26．What amazed the author during her trips

C．The routes of subway stations. D．The animals walking on the streets.
27．How did the author feel on her walk

It was a quiet early afternoon in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a chat at the library desk.
Suddenly, a regular reader, who had been reading a magazine, marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush
（嘘）!” and went back to her seat.
Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader!
Shouldn’t it be the other way around
Well, it seems hard to explain. If you’re a baby boomer （婴儿潮出生的人） like me, you probably remember
libraries as places of adults’ silent reading. These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers,
where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.
I am a loud librarian. My voice is naturally on the louder side. The hundreds of programs I led as a children’s
librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of
children and their caregivers. No shushing allowed!
（北京）股份有限公司
Growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since
caused a sea change in how public libraries connect with young readers. These types of programs like board games.
poetry reading and story times certainly aren’t designed to be silent.
But it’s a balancing act. Not all readers —or librarians —like the idea of a noisy library. It’s clear to me now
that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a reader, we should have been using our “library voices” as
we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There’s just
too much fun and learning happening. I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service
educator at the Brooklyn Public Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad.
A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing!”
28．How did the author think of the shush from a reader
A．Unexpectedly funny. B．Really annoying.
C．Quite necessary. D．Very heartwarming.
29．What can be inferred about today’s libraries
A．They serve kids only. B．They become quieter.
C．They are less popular. D．They have different functions.
33．Why does the author quote Rachel Payne
A．To show different voices. B．To express the author’s idea.
C．To make the end interesting. D．To promote a new reading method.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．How to Act in the Library B．It’s OK for a Library to Be Noisy
C．Why to Keep Silent in the Library D．It’s Necessary for Librarians to Change
D
In the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on
the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements
on them. astronauts （宇航员） will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen （氢）. But
a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the air into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface
has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.
For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation （航
空） industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it
is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly.
But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.
The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on
expensive catalysts （催化剂） like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is
adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require
using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral （碳中和的）.
The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300℃ and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire
process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were
jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.
（北京）股份有限公司
Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three
years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision
is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.”
32．Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1
A．Unique. B．Practical. C．Time-tested. D．Quick.
33．What problem does the aviation industry face
A．It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.
B．The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive.
C．Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.
D．Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.
34．What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making
A．It is green and cost-saving. B．It is complex and time-consuming.
C．It runs tests in natural environment. D．It starts with immediate chemical reaction.
35．What’s the purpose of the author
A．To attract people to explore the space. B．To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.
C．To warn us the dangers of climate change. D．To encourage us to work in the aviation industry.

How to handle changes in your friendship group
Friends are important. From time to time, however, the balance in friendships can change. One of the biggest
reasons is that someone new joins the group. 36 The good news is that there are ways to navigate the ups
and downs of friendships while remaining part of a positive, happy, and supportive circle.
Keep an open mind
Changes in friendship groups can be unsettling, especially if everything had been going well beforehand. You
might be concerned things feel awkward or different, or that you might become jealous if a new person joins your
circle. 37 You can’t stop your friends having new people in their lives, so try to see encounters with fresh
faces as an exciting opportunity.
Widen your circle
If your best friends seem to stop being interested in you and appear to be spending all their time in a new
friend, take time to think about the situation before rushing to confront （对峙） them. 38 Having different
friends is a positive thing, so if it’s the case that they’re welcoming new people into the fold, try to make peace with
it and think about how you can make other friends, too. 39 Recognize that they and you will have a
mixture of pals and they’ll enhance your life in different ways.
Know your worth
Friends are amazing and can carry you through good and bad times, but you’re not defined by others, and you
deserve people who want to be in your life. Everyone changes, and there might come a time when friends no longer
wish to spend time with you. 40 Keep your head held high, walk tall, and stay true to your true self.
（北京）股份有限公司

Mitzvah is a word my grandmother often said to me since my childhood. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do
a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always
pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a
blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for
you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I’d just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York. Several of
my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I’d said I could manage. Letting them
help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my
window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots
making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that
Grandma had knitted （编织） for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don’t you see if you can find a lift ” A
thousand reasons came into my mind: I don’t know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride would not
let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the
woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hour
journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for
help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car. Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness （固
执）.
