When Marguerite Richards post a TikTok (抖音) video about her father's decade-old thriller novel, she was hoping to inspire a little interest. A few dozen new readers, maybe. As the first few positive comments started rolling in, she was pleased to have done something nice for a dad who definitely deserved it.
She had no idea that, within days, millions of people would see her video, and her father's book would rise to the top of Amazon's Best Seller list.
Lloyd Richards first published Stone Maidens in 2012. It's a thriller about an FBI agent following a killer in Indiana and, by his daughter's account, it's quite attractive. However, his original release (出版,发行) failed to drum up excitement.
It's a different world now, with social media making somebody and something rise to fame overnight. Richards, the daughter, decided to try her luck. “I saw how much time and effort and passion my dad put into his book. I know what a lovely storyteller he is,” she told CNN.“ He never stopped writing, and he always stayed positive.”
Whether it was the interesting thriller, or the efforts of a proud daughter, the story of Lloyd Richards and Stone Maidens struck a chord.
Marguerite Richards posted the first TikTok about Stone Maidens about two weeks ago. It has since received 48 million views and numerous positive responses. After that, Richards posted more videos of her father, delighting in his unexpected success.
“My dad wasn't really sure what TikTok is, but he has been so pleased and grateful,” Richards says. The experience has breathed new life into a labor of love. Now, Lloyd Richards has more than 360,000 TikTok followers and a brand new story to tell. He has plans for the future, too.

For lots of animals — humans included — lazing about in the sunshine is one of life’s greatest pleasures. But unfortunately, this pleasure comes with a cost: sunburn. And, while those of us with fairer skin are more likely to be sunburned, animals are at risk of sunburn, too. But if this can happen to animals too, why, then, don’t we ever see sunburned whales
“If you think of it, the sun has been here forever in terms of our planet, and all individuals have been living in the sun,” said Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse, a molecular epidemiologist from the Autonomous University of Queretaro, in Mexico. “So, it’s a pretty strong pressure that the sun has put on animals and that has led to many mechanisms (机制) of reacting to it.”
Some of these mechanisms are obvious: hair, fur, wool, feathers and scales (鳞) on many creatures create a protective layer between sunshine and skin.
But, “marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物), and specifically cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), are an exception because they don’t have fur; they don’t have scales,” said Acevedo-Whitehouse, who has been studying sunburn in whales for over five years.
In skin examples taken from the backs of blue, sperm and fin whales on their cross-ocean movements, Acevedo-Whitehouse and her colleagues discovered signs of sunburn from the whales’ hours spent breathing and socializing at the surface. But importantly, they also discovered that whales have specialized mechanisms that help them reduce this burn, even making them disappear. “The common adaptation of whales is that they appear to work well at repairing damage,” she said.
Some whales generate colors that darken and protect their skin. There are even whales that have developed a hard, keratinized layer that protects the skin below. “We were excited to see there isn’t really evidence of skin cancer in whales,” Acevedo-Whitehouse said. Now, they’re trying to understand exactly how those self-curing mechanisms work.
41.Which of the following problems is the text trying to solve
A.How do mammals protect skin
B.How do whales prevent sunburn
C.Do animals ever get sunburned
D.Do whales ever get sunburned
42.What does the “exception” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Whales don’t have fur to protect themselves.
B.Whales build a wall between sunshine and skin.
C.Whales can protect their skin even without fur.
D.Whales’ reacting mechanism is obviously found.
43.In what situation do some whales probably get sunburned
A.Surfacing for a long time. B.Sunbathing.
C.Socializing below water. D.Breathing.
44.Some whales adapt well to sun damage, depending on .
A.protective fur
B.the ability to self-cure
C.self-made sun cream
D.impossibility of cancer
45.Which one is Acevedo-Whitehouse and her colleagues’ next work
A.To discover how whales generate dark colors.
B.To discover how whales suffer from skin cancer.
C.To discover how whales cure the sunburn by themselves.
D.To discover how whales protect themselves from danger.
C
A growing number of colleges and universities are offering competitive esports (electronic sports) teams. Now some doctors are calling for gamers to be treated like other college athletes, because just like with other sports, they also suffer injuries.
Ryan Harran and Daniel Singh are both university esports team players. “Some days I don’t play at all because of school and work, but when I do play, it could be anywhere from three hours to six hours,“ Harran said. “It is pretty mentally exhausting. There’s certainly eye strain (视疲劳) from just looking so hard,” Singh said.
New research looked at 65 college esports players and found they averaged about 5 to 10 hours of gaming training daily, with many reporting overuse injuries including hand and arm pain and neck and back pain. “Poor posture (姿势) can produce fast-growing pressure on your neck, back and shoulders, ”said study author Dr. Hallie Zwibel. “Eye tiredness is the most commonly reported problem...” Zwibel says players also report sleeplessness due to the blue light from the screens. In fact, esports can be such heavy work that players often retire by the time they’re in their mid-20s.
So far, 80 colleges and universities in the U.S. have esports teams. Researchers say schools need to provide prevention and treatment plans for esports injuries just as they do with traditional athletes. “Nutrition, exercise, and stretches, especially stretches of the eyes to avoid eye tiredness during game play,” Zwibel said. And it’s not just college and university esports athletes who should be careful, and even if you don’t play at that level, Zwibel said, you can still suffer esports injuries like overuse injuries and eye tiredness from video games.
Singh says he keeps all that in mind to be his best on the game day. “I often roll my shoulders back and keep a straight back,” he said, adding that he also tries to do some exercise when he’s offline.
46.What worries some doctors according to the passage
A.All college athletes’ health condition.
B.Young people’s lack of physical exercise.
C.College and university esports injuries.
D.Mental stress caused by heavy schoolwork.
47.What’s the most universal problem that college esports players have
A.Neck and back pain. B.Hand and arm pain.
C.Sleeplessness. D.Eye tiredness.
48.Why do esports players often retire early
A.They lose interest quickly.
B.They become busy with work.
C.They can’t make a living this way.
D.They won’t have enough energy and strength.
49.What can we know from the last two paragraphs
A.Video games will lead to overuse injuries and eye tiredness.
B.Singh always pays much attention to his posture and health.
C.Stretches of the eyes are treatment for eye tiredness.
D.80 colleges provide treatment for esports injuries.
50.Which is the best title for this passage
A.Esports: No pain, No gain!
B.Doctors Raise the Alarm about Esports Injuries
C.Esports are Becoming More and More Popular
D.How are Esports Different from Other Sports
D
After realizing students at his elementary school were going hungry at home, PE teacher Jason Watson got a wave of inspiration.
Jason and his wife, school librarian Anne, bought a used ice cream truck, and for the past two summers, the couple, both 39, have delivered hot home-cooked lunches and icy treats to kids in need in their 1,300-person town of Frazeysburg, Ohio.
It all started back in 2016 when the pair started AIM Outreach, an after-school program for kids that included free lunches. In 2020, their in-person outreach had to be stopped, so the couple bought the truck and have been hard at work since.
The family cooks all the meals themselves, posting online the dates and times they will be delivering. They serve about 70 meals a week in the summertime; to date, they estimate they’ve served about 2,200 lunches from the truck. “We share the love of cooking,” Jason says. “Instead of giving out fast food, we try to actually cook a really good meal, to treat them a little bit.”
The couple launched a GoFundMe in June, 2022 when the truck needed both a new transmission and a new engine. They raised more than $10,000. “We’ve been blown away by the outpouring of donations,” says Anne. “And we’ve decided to do more. Our dream is to possibly open a free café where we invite people to sit, have a hot dinner and then share life together, which is kind of our vision going ahead.”
“We believe at GoFundMe that help is kindness in action,” says Kelsea Little, head of brand storytelling at GoFundMe. “They are spreading joy out every day.” Little hopes the Watson family will inspire other people to spread kindness in their communities. “They might not have an ice cream truck to go feed everyone with, but there are maybe some small things they could do for their neighbors or to make the world a better place or ever just to do something kind for someone else,” she says.
51.The Watsons bought an ice cream truck to .
A.share food with children in need
B.support their life in hard times
C.promote their after-school program
D.kill time with their ice-cream business
52.What do we know about the Watsons’ act
A.They prepared fast food in advance.
B.They posted detailed menus online every day.
C.They shared their love of cooking online.
D.They turned their love of cooking into kindness.
53.What pushed the Watsons to turn to GoFundMe in 2022
A.The plan to open a new restaurant.
B.The need to update the ice cream truck.
C.The aim to start a charity organization.
D.The idea to expand their menu and meal options.
54.How did the Watsons react to the donations on GoFundMe
A.They gave extra donations back.
B.They were curious about the donors.
C.They were inspired to do more kind acts.
D.They funded kids’ education with them.
55.What may Kelsea Little agree with
A.Everyone can spread kindness in their own ways.
B.Ice cream trucks have various functions.
C.Good neighborhood relationship inspires kind actions.
D.GoFundMe activities push small kindness even further.

第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
I’m not sure whether anyone ever expects to go to their local animal shelter in order to see a large rabbit. I certainly don’t. Last spring, I went there for one of my regular volunteer jobs. On arriving, I was greeted by Chuck, the director of the shelter, with a heart y recommendation, “You’ve got to see what’s in the ‘Welcome Room’ today!”
I was used to seeing an unexpected lizard or parrot, but I was not prepared for a big rabbit that filled the cage. It sat quietly eating something while I watched it in surprise. I said, “It’s too huge!” Then Chuck said, “Look!” He pushed a stick through the cage and raised the rabbit’s middle part a little. Much to my surprise, a small gray kitten was lying there.
“What is this ” I asked, shocked to see another living animal of a completely different species hidden peacefully under a rabbit.
“It’s strange, huh ” Chuck laughed, “A man in Town Acres called yesterday afternoon, saying there was a huge rabbit in his backyard that had been sitting there for a full day, and it hadn’t moved an inch. He thought it was injured, so he and his family went out to look at it. It’s a French Lop rabbit, and she’s surely somebody’s pet. There is no doubt about it. But she still didn’t move when they got close, and when they went to pick her up, that little kitten was right underneath her—just like he is now. And when they tried to separate them, that kitten cried! It was like being separated from his mother.”
“Animals are interesting, huh ” I said.
“I wonder how those two got connected.”
“Well, it has been shrouded in mystery,” Chuck said. “Up to now, we have not found any scientific proof,” It certainly was strange, and for the next three days, everyone at the shelter called this unusual pair The Gray Duo. I guessed they got together because both of them needed a companion (同伴) to give them love and care.

61.Great changes around me
Great changes have taken place around me in the past few years.
In the past, people lived a hard life. They used to live in old and small houses, which were very crowed. Transport used to be hard, so people mainly walked to anywhere they wanted to go. The food type was simple, and people seldom ate meat at that time.
Now people are living a better life. The old houses in this area are gone and high-rise buildings stand like trees in the forest. There are more green trees and facilities in the park. The air gets cleaner and the roads become wider than before. Transport is much easier. People can go to many places by car, by train or by plane. There are all kinds of delicious food in so many restaurants for us. All in all the whole city becomes more and more lovely.
The changes around me are too many to describe. And I am so happy with these changes. I'm sure our life will continue to get better.
