I was living with my grandparents at the time. Our grandparents had recently retired. While they’d managed to save enough to buy a home, they were short on living expenses.
So, our grandfather took a job as doorkeeper of the Java school building. Keeping the entire building clean was a stressful job for one man. Realizing this, I began helping him after school,sweeping rooms and emptying waste baskets, for a small wage.
When winter arrived, he fired up the school’s furnace (火炉). He quickly realized how difficult it had become for him to shovel (铲) the huge pile of coal chips required to fill in the furnace. I volunteered to take on that job, a commitment that required me to set my alarm clock an hour earlier each morning. I’d go over to the school, and shovel a half ton of coal, enough to keep the fire burning for 24 hours. After finishing that task, I’d go home, change clothes, and eat breakfast. Then I’d head back to school, always at the last minute.
It was during those morning rushes to school that I discovered my superpower. On two mornings, at the very instant I stepped onto the sidewalk in front of the school, the first bell rang.That was the signal for students to head to class. This astonishing coincidence caused me to improve my precision. I carefully planned each phase of my morning activity. I paced myself. Often I’d step onto the school’s sidewalk just as the first bell rang. This accomplishment gave me enormous pride — and some strange feelings.
Decades later, at a school reunion, I happened to meet Harold Spiry, who had been in charge of ringing the bell by pressing a button in his office. I couldn’t resist boasting (吹嘘). I told Mr. Spiry about how well I had ordered my complex morning work back then, how my timing had been faultless. “Oh that,” he said. “Do you recall that my office windows looked out over the front of the building I often saw you coming. And when you hit the sidewalk, I’d ring the bell.”
14．What does the underlined word “this” refer to
A．Grandparents’ lack of living expenses.
B．Granddad’s retiring as a doorkeeper.
C．Grandparents’ saving money to buy a house.
D．Granddad’s hardships in cleaning the whole building.
15．Why did the author get up earlier every morning
A．To avoid being late for school. B．To help his granddad clean classrooms.
C．To fill coal into the school’s furnace. D．To volunteer to empty waste baskets.
16．How would the author feel after hearing what Harold Spiry said
A．Proud. B．Surprised. C．Cautious. D．Regretful.
One bird may not make a summer but seeing or hearing birds does improve mental wellbeing, a ground-breaking study in the journal Scientific Reports has found.
Researchers tracked 1, 292 participants’ everyday encounters with birds last year via a smartphone app called Urban Mind. Over the course of two weeks, the participants, from the UK, Europe, the US, China and Australia, were asked every two hours to document how they were feeling, including whether they were happy or stressed.
The researchers found that participants’ average mental wellbeing scores increased when they saw or heard birds, including among those who said they had been diagnosed (诊断) with depression.
Andrea Mechelli, professor of early intervention (干涉) in mental health at King’s College London, said that the positive effect of bird encounters on people with depression was significant because many “interventions that help so-called ‘healthy people’ don’t work for individuals with mental health issues”. Mechelli said, “We know exercise makes everyone feel better. But it’s so challenging to motivate someone with depression to exercise, while contact with bird life is something that, perhaps, is feasible.”
Adrian Thomas, the author of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds’ Guide to Birdsong, said the report’s findings came as no surprise as most people described their reaction to birdsong as joy. He added, “Birdsong would have once been the natural soundtrack to all human lives, and I do think that it is rooted somewhere deep within us. It is related with spring and good times coming, which is just one of the reasons why we need to appreciate the role of birds in our life and ensure that nature.”
17．What were the participants asked to do
A．To keep track of birds. B．To keep record of moods.
C．To report health issues. D．To analyze feeling changes.
18．What does the underline word “feasible” mean in paragraph 4
A．Practicable. B．Inspiring. C．Measurable. D．Effective.
19．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Potential application of the research results. B．A reasonable doubt to the research question.
C．Detailed descriptions of the research process. D．A further explanation of the research findings.
20．Which of the following may the research contribute to
A．Bird watching activity. B．Stress relief methods.
C．Bird protection campaign. D．Mental health treatment.
Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed (观察),” explains Shruti Nath, a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
The model is being used in Kenya and Ethiopia now. If successful in East Africa, researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.
21．What does the author want to stress in the first paragraph
A．The necessity of using the new weather forecast model.
B．The great climate changes caused by human activities.
C．The seriousness of the flood and drought in Africa.
D．The little progress made in weather forecasts.
22．How does the new weather forecast model work
A．It needs much less observational data. B．It uses supercomputers to deal with data.
C．It joins AI and the traditional method together. D．It depends on AI instead of the former way.
23．What can we say about the new weather forecast model
A．It runs easily. B．It is low-cost.
C．It doesn’t work as wished. D．It is geographically limited.
24．What can be the most suitable title for the text
A．Climate Change and Its Effects on Africa
B．Uncertainty of Weather Forecast with AI
C．AI Helping Improve Weather Forecast
D．The Challenges of Traditional Weather Forecast Model
As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. 25 . If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own. 26 . Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange. Otherwise, it’s hard to approach those differences with respect.

Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. 28 . The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
Appreciate the differences
Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: Ask questions if your friends are open to them. 29 .
A．Pay a visit to your hometown.

Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods. (气候变化正在导致像非洲之角这样的地区出现大量极端天气事件，那里发生了致命的洪水和数十年来最严重的干旱。此外，撒哈拉以南非洲的传统天气预报模型往往不够可靠，无法提前准确预测极端天气事件，使这些地区处于风险之中。基于这些事实，正确和及时的预报对于保护生命和生计至关重要)”可知传统天气预报无法提前准确预测极端天气，故推断本段内容强调使用新的天气预报模型的必要性，故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据第二段“Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. (气候科学家正在东非将人工智能应用到传统的天气预报方法中，以提高极端天气预报的准确性)”可知新的天气预报模型是将人工智能融入传统天气预报方法中，故选C。
23．细节理解题。根据第三段“According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. (根据Shruti Nath的说法，这个模型只需要一台笔记本电脑就可以运行，而不需要昂贵的超级计算机，它为当地气象组织提供了一种更便宜的方式，可以在缺乏准确观测数据的地区做出更准确的预报)”可知新的天气预报模型成本低，故选B。
24．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods. (气候变化正在导致像非洲之角这样的地区出现大量极端天气事件，那里发生了致命的洪水和数十年来最严重的干旱。此外，撒哈拉以南非洲的传统天气预报模型往往不够可靠，无法提前准确预测极端天气事件，使这些地区处于风险之中。基于这些事实，正确和及时的预报对于保护生命和生计至关重要)”和第二段“Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. (气候科学家正在东非将人工智能应用到传统的天气预报方法中，以提高极端天气预报的准确性)”可知文章主要讲述了气候科学家将人工智能融入传统天气预报方法，以提高东非极端天气预报的准确性，介绍了新模型的工作方式、优势以及应用前景，所以C选项“人工智能帮助改善天气预报。”符合文章主旨，故选C。

I was living with my grandparents at the time. Our grandparents had recently retired. While they’d managed to save enough to buy a home, they were short on living expenses.
So, our grandfather took a job as doorkeeper of the Java school building. Keeping the entire building clean was a stressful job for one man. Realizing this, I began helping him after school,sweeping rooms and emptying waste baskets, for a small wage.
When winter arrived, he fired up the school’s furnace (火炉). He quickly realized how difficult it had become for him to shovel (铲) the huge pile of coal chips required to fill in the furnace. I volunteered to take on that job, a commitment that required me to set my alarm clock an hour earlier each morning. I’d go over to the school, and shovel a half ton of coal, enough to keep the fire burning for 24 hours. After finishing that task, I’d go home, change clothes, and eat breakfast. Then I’d head back to school, always at the last minute.
It was during those morning rushes to school that I discovered my superpower. On two mornings, at the very instant I stepped onto the sidewalk in front of the school, the first bell rang.That was the signal for students to head to class. This astonishing coincidence caused me to improve my precision. I carefully planned each phase of my morning activity. I paced myself. Often I’d step onto the school’s sidewalk just as the first bell rang. This accomplishment gave me enormous pride — and some strange feelings.
Decades later, at a school reunion, I happened to meet Harold Spiry, who had been in charge of ringing the bell by pressing a button in his office. I couldn’t resist boasting (吹嘘). I told Mr. Spiry about how well I had ordered my complex morning work back then, how my timing had been faultless. “Oh that,” he said. “Do you recall that my office windows looked out over the front of the building I often saw you coming. And when you hit the sidewalk, I’d ring the bell.”
14．What does the underlined word “this” refer to
A．Grandparents’ lack of living expenses.
B．Granddad’s retiring as a doorkeeper.
C．Grandparents’ saving money to buy a house.
D．Granddad’s hardships in cleaning the whole building.
15．Why did the author get up earlier every morning
A．To avoid being late for school. B．To help his granddad clean classrooms.
C．To fill coal into the school’s furnace. D．To volunteer to empty waste baskets.
16．How would the author feel after hearing what Harold Spiry said
A．Proud. B．Surprised. C．Cautious. D．Regretful.
One bird may not make a summer but seeing or hearing birds does improve mental wellbeing, a ground-breaking study in the journal Scientific Reports has found.
Researchers tracked 1, 292 participants’ everyday encounters with birds last year via a smartphone app called Urban Mind. Over the course of two weeks, the participants, from the UK, Europe, the US, China and Australia, were asked every two hours to document how they were feeling, including whether they were happy or stressed.
The researchers found that participants’ average mental wellbeing scores increased when they saw or heard birds, including among those who said they had been diagnosed (诊断) with depression.
Andrea Mechelli, professor of early intervention (干涉) in mental health at King’s College London, said that the positive effect of bird encounters on people with depression was significant because many “interventions that help so-called ‘healthy people’ don’t work for individuals with mental health issues”. Mechelli said, “We know exercise makes everyone feel better. But it’s so challenging to motivate someone with depression to exercise, while contact with bird life is something that, perhaps, is feasible.”
Adrian Thomas, the author of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds’ Guide to Birdsong, said the report’s findings came as no surprise as most people described their reaction to birdsong as joy. He added, “Birdsong would have once been the natural soundtrack to all human lives, and I do think that it is rooted somewhere deep within us.

Climate change is leading to a large number of extreme weather events in places like the Horn of Africa, where deadly floods and the worst drought hit in decades. In addition, traditional weather forecast (预报) models in sub-Saharan Africa often aren’t dependable enough to forecast extreme weather events correctly in advance, leaving the areas at risk. Based on the facts, correct and timely forecasts are important to safeguard lives and livelihoods.
Climate scientists are building artificial intelligence (AI) into the traditional weather forecasting method in East Africa to improve the accuracy (准确度) of extreme weather forecasts. “We start from the traditional forecasts and add the AI model over it to make up for what the traditional forecasts have missed, so that the final forecast results can more accurately match the data that has actually been observed (观察),” explains Shruti Nath, a climate scientist and researcher at the University of Oxford Department of Physics.
According to Shruti Nath, this model, which only requires a notebook computer to run, without the need for expensive supercomputers, gives local meteorological (气象的) organizations a less expensive way of making more accurate forecasts in an area where there is a shortage of accurate observational data. The researchers say the project could change early warning systems in East Africa, making the area get better prepared for the extreme weather caused by climate change.
The model is being used in Kenya and Ethiopia now. If successful in East Africa, researchers hope to use it in other parts of the world facing similar challenges. More countries are trying to spread the technology as well as build local ownership and trust.

I’d go over to the school, and shovel a half ton of coal, enough to keep the fire burning for 24 hours.(冬天来临的时候，他（祖父）点燃了学校的火炉。他很快就意识到，要铲起填满火炉所需的一大堆煤块对他而言变得十分困难。我自愿承担这份工作，这意味着我必须每天早上把闹钟提前一小时。我会去学校，铲上半吨煤，这些煤足够让炉火燃烧24小时)”可知，作者每天早上早起是为了给学校的炉子添煤。故选C。
16．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“This astonishing coincidence caused me to improve my precision. I carefully planned each phase of my morning activity. I paced myself.
