My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy!
I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal.
And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world.
I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.
As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life.
4. What do we know about the author
A. He is inexperienced in raising pets.
B. He is unsupportive of his wife’s desire.
C. He feels it a pity that children shy away from pets.
D. He thinks one should be cautious about raising pets.
5. What does the author think of Pedro
A. Dangerous but loyal. B. Playful and gentle.
C. Adorable but troublesome. D. Annoying and fierce.
6. What can we infer according to paragraph 4
A. Dogs are man’s best friends.
B. It is worthless to have a dog.
C. Puppies are unfriendly to humans.
D. It is challenging to train a puppy.
7. What is the purpose of the last paragraph

Bacteria (细菌) know how to survive all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to live, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, wet, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life.
Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of different sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the company of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist so many different structures that everyone gets a state of satisfaction.
However, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about
In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 — 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.”
This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to show up in the area, the sponge’s special make-up makes it a good place for them to grow. And there’s evidence of it.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment.
C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance.
9. What did Lingchong You find in his study
A Why sponges are useful. B. What encourages bacterial growth.
C. How bacteria react to the environment. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other.
10. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges
A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive. C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely spread
11. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph
A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The features of bacteria.
C. Ways to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria.
D
When is a shed (小屋) more than just a building When it’s a potentially life-saving shelter for men who are struggling. That’s the idea around which the Men’s Sheds movement — led by the UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) is designed.
While garden sheds are typically used by individuals for personal projects and the activities there are often done alone, Men’s Sheds are all about social connections and friendship building, as well as sharing skills and knowledge. “We know how well the movement helps with loneliness, social isolation (孤立) and both physical and mental health,” said Rob Lloyd, the UKMSA spokesperson.
Last year, the national finalists in the 2024 Shed of the Year awards were announced, recognizing the groups and individuals that have helped fight loneliness that year. Among the groups is the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed. Simon Rouse, its chairman, talked about their approach: “We’ve been trying to combine two things: capable men who have health problems with challenges that make them realize they are still alive and have a lot to offer.”
He explained that local charities and community groups have long lists of jobs they would love to do but can’t afford. “Our Men’s Shed has well-equipped workshops and skilled men with time on their hands and worries they might want to park for a while,” said Rouse. “If we put the two together, it’s a win for the men, their families, the local charities and community groups. Our members have enjoyed supporting our local community through a variety of things, including repairing electrical equipment, and building a reading tree as well as play equipment for local schools.”
Rouse said that these men once thought the best was over for them, but now winning the award would be a rich reward for their years’ effort. “Now we’ll really see what we’re capable of,” he said. “The award would give our members another fantastic encouragement for them to continue to spread the word about the value of Men’s Sheds.”
12. What is the main goal of the Men’s Sheds movement
A. To finish personal projects.
B. To help men with social and health challenges.
C. To help improve men’s problem-solving skills.
D. To let more people know about charity organizations
13. How does the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed help struggling men
A. By funding local charities.
B. By upgrading their workshops.
C. By providing medical assistance.
D. By involving them in voluntary tasks.
14. Why is winning the award significant for the shed members according to Rouse
A. It increased their earnings.
B. It ensured them of more work chances.
C. It changed their opinions of themselves.
D. It improved their well-being and fame.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Rise of Garden Sheds for Health B. Knowledge Growth Through Men’s Sheds
C. From Isolation to Inspiration: The Sheds Story D. Men’s Sheds: Bridges of Hope and Connection

I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to share with you how I celebrated the Spring Festival in a special way with the help of the Internet this year.
On New Year’s Eve, instead of the usual get-togethers, my family and I had a virtual reunion. Through a video call, we connected with relatives living afar, sharing laughter and the delicious food we’d cooked, as if they were right beside us. What made it even more special was watching the Spring Festival Gala online while chatting in the group chat.
Never before had I realized how technology could bridge the gap so effectively. With the Internet by our side, the festive atmosphere was not only maintained but enhanced, making this Spring Festival truly unforgettable and full or warmth.

My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy!
I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal.
And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world.
I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.
As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life.

Bacteria (细菌) know how to survive all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to live, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, wet, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life.
Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of different sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the company of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist so many different structures that everyone gets a state of satisfaction.
However, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about
In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 — 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.”
This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to show up in the area, the sponge’s special make-up makes it a good place for them to grow. And there’s evidence of it.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment.
C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance.
9. What did Lingchong You find in his study
A Why sponges are useful. B. What encourages bacterial growth.
C. How bacteria react to the environment. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other.
10. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges
A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive. C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely spread
11. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph
A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The features of bacteria.
C. Ways to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria.
D
When is a shed (小屋) more than just a building When it’s a potentially life-saving shelter for men who are struggling. That’s the idea around which the Men’s Sheds movement — led by the UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) is designed.
While garden sheds are typically used by individuals for personal projects and the activities there are often done alone, Men’s Sheds are all about social connections and friendship building, as well as sharing skills and knowledge. “We know how well the movement helps with loneliness, social isolation (孤立) and both physical and mental health,” said Rob Lloyd, the UKMSA spokesperson.
Last year, the national finalists in the 2024 Shed of the Year awards were announced, recognizing the groups and individuals that have helped fight loneliness that year. Among the groups is the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed. Simon Rouse, its chairman, talked about their approach: “We’ve been trying to combine two things: capable men who have health problems with challenges that make them realize they are still alive and have a lot to offer.”
He explained that local charities and community groups have long lists of jobs they would love to do but can’t afford. “Our Men’s Shed has well-equipped workshops and skilled men with time on their hands and worries they might want to park for a while,” said Rouse. “If we put the two together, it’s a win for the men, their families, the local charities and community groups. Our members have enjoyed supporting our local community through a variety of things, including repairing electrical equipment, and building a reading tree as well as play equipment for local schools.”
Rouse said that these men once thought the best was over for them, but now winning the award would be a rich reward for their years’ effort. “Now we’ll really see what we’re capable of,” he said. “The award would give our members another fantastic encouragement for them to continue to spread the word about the value of Men’s Sheds.”
12. What is the main goal of the Men’s Sheds movement
A. To finish personal projects.
B. To help men with social and health challenges.
C. To help improve men’s problem-solving skills.
D. To let more people know about charity organizations
13. How does the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed help struggling men
A. By funding local charities.
B. By upgrading their workshops.
C. By providing medical assistance.
D. By involving them in voluntary tasks.
14. Why is winning the award significant for the shed members according to Rouse
A. It increased their earnings.
B. It ensured them of more work chances.
C. It changed their opinions of themselves.
D. It improved their well-being and fame.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Rise of Garden Sheds for Health B. Knowledge Growth Through Men’s Sheds
C. From Isolation to Inspiration: The Sheds Story D. Men’s Sheds: Bridges of Hope and Connection

62. Dear Chris,
I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to share with you how I celebrated the Spring Festival in a special way with the help of the Internet this year.
On New Year’s Eve, instead of the usual get-togethers, my family and I had a virtual reunion. Through a video call, we connected with relatives living afar, sharing laughter and the delicious food we’d cooked, as if they were right beside us. What made it even more special was watching the Spring Festival Gala online while chatting in the group chat.
Never before had I realized how technology could bridge the gap so effectively. With the Internet by our side, the festive atmosphere was not only maintained but enhanced, making this Spring Festival truly unforgettable and full or warmth.
