Cultural intelligence, or cultural quotient (CQ) is the ability to manage cultural diversity. ___31___ It also involves understanding and appreciating cultural differences and being able to adapt to those differences.
___32___ For one thing, it can help you avoid misunderstandings and communication breakdowns with people from other cultures. For another, it enables you to build strong relationships with them. Want to improve your CQ Try the following tips.
If you’re unfamiliar with the culture, chances are you’re not going to adapt well to it. So the first practical aspect of CQ you need to improve is your CQ drive. ___33___ This drive is the first step towards higher CQ that may help you be open to new possibilities. All you have to do is explore the new situation you find yourself in.
After you’ve motivated yourself to get a bit more familiar with the culture, it’s time to go one step further. ___34___ Of course, this doesn’t mean you need to become an expert in the said culture. Simply, you should try to get to know the ways in which that culture forms and influences its people’s values and behavior.
Lastly, you need to use what you have learned and come up with a strategy that will help you improve your CQ. You can expose yourself to various media. This is a useful and easily accessible way to learn about how culture affects behavior. Again, it helps if you learn the language of the culture. This may open a whole new world for you. ___35___
A. You should broaden your CQ knowledge.
B. There are many benefits of having high CQ.
C. To be culturally intelligent is no easy matter.
D. This means your motivation to learn about a different culture.
E. Seek out opportunities to interact with people from other cultures.

Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged desserts. ___36___
The recent rise of light meals, however, gives diners a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber (高纤维的) meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.
___37___ From just 2022 to 2023, the number increased from just 600 to more than 3,500 in 2023. According to a report released by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose by 75 percent from the previous year.
Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy (辛辣的) food. ___38___ Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal.
These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially millennials (千禧一代), are into them. Diners see it as “a great way to avoid becoming fat,” wrote The Telegraph.
“After eating several light meals, I felt my appetite has shrunk (缩小). I now prefer light flavors,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. ___39___
These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food says Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity, is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.
___40___ It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.
A. These are not easily cooked at home.
B. Our eating habits show our personalities.
C. It’s important to eat the right amount of delicious food.
D. So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal.
E. The country saw a rapid expansion of restaurants specializing in light meals.
F. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
G. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.

Jahkil Jackson is the creator of the famous Project I Am. Through the project, Jahkil looks to raise awareness for reducing homelessness in Chicago and beyond.
Even at a very tender age, his deeds already drew the recognition of former U. S. President Barack Obama in 2017. Jahkil also pushes to motivate and influence fellow kids to get more active and useful in their communities. When he was five years old, Jahkil assisted his aunt in distributing food to the homeless in Chicago. Then the little boy was unhappy to find out that people could not afford a home. He was always eager to find out how he could offer help to people. And he would be mad for not being able to give money to anyone asking for help on the streets. He was determined to help the homeless in every way he could.
That strong desire later gave birth to the Project I Am, his nonprofit organization, which focused on helping the homeless people. He founded it at the age of eight, and has since then never looked back on his journey of charity.
Through Project I Am, Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing “Blessing bags”. Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy, including wipes, hand sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, bottled water, among other things.
Jahkil Jackson is also one of the key workers in Dream for Kids, another nonprofit organization founded by Tom Tuohy, a social entrepreneur. Jahkil met with Tuohy at a Holiday for Hope event organized by the Dream for Kids. From there, he became the youngest ever student in the YES (Youth Enterprise Solution) program by the Dream For Kids. He has been working with them since then.
19. For what purpose did Jahkil create Project I Am
A. To get awards. B. To collect money.
C. To do charity. D. To make friends.
20. How does Project I Am help
A. Doing voluntary work. B. Giving out daily necessities.
C. Donating money to the poor. D. Offering shelters for the homeless.
21. Which of the following can best describe Jahkil
A. Friendly and sociable. B. Kind-hearted and generous.
C. Energetic and powerful. D. Innocent and thoughtful.
22. What’s the best title of the text
A. New Homes for the Homeless B. An Anti-poverty Project in Chicago
C. Do Your Charity at an Early Age D. Jahkil Jackson and His Blessing Bags

Disease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.
Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful mosquito repellent (驱虫剂) ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic (合成的) repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.
In my lab at Iowa State University, my team and I have been conducting research on natural products as possible insect repellents for the past 20 years. In the past few years, three of my Ph.D. students have contributed greatly to our research by designing, synthesizing, purifying, characterizing and testing more than 300 closely related chemicals coming from the best of natural repellents like citronellol, menthol and thymol.
These students have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, houses, barracks and horse barns. The second group of the new repellents are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; some researchers have conducted testing on some humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.
The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable (可生物降解的), with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.
28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes
B. The difficulty in fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.
C. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.
D. The way mosquitoes spread diseases.
29. How are the second group of the new repellents
A. They are more effective for children.
B. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.
C. They are mainly used in the open air.
D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.
30. Why does DEET have its disadvantages
A. It won’t be effective for long. B. It can’t be applied universally.
C. It causes discomfort to some users. D. It greatly harms people’s health.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents
A. Disapproving. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
D
CANOAS, Brazil — A Brazilian horse nicknamed Caramelo by social media users drew national attention after a television news helicopter filmed him trapped on a rooftop in southern Brazil, where massive floods have killed more than 113 people. About 24 hours after he was first spotted and with people asking for his condition, a team in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state successfully removed Caramelo on Thursday, providing some hope for the flooded region.
The brown horse had been balancing on two narrow pieces of slippery asbestos (石棉) for days in Canoas, a city in the Porto Alegre metropolitan area, which is one of the hardest-hit areas in the state, much of which has been isolated by floodwaters.
“We found that the animal was rather debilitated,” Tiago Franco, a firefighter from Sao Paulo sent to lead the rescue, said. “We tried to approach in a calm way.” Firefighters and veterinarians (兽医) climbed onto the mostly underwater roof, sedated (给……服镇静剂) and then laid the horse on an inflatable raft — all 350 kilograms of him. The operation involved four inflatable boats and four large support boats, with firefighters, soldiers and other volunteers.
The rescue was broadcast live on television networks that filmed the process from their helicopters. Social media influencer Felipe Neto sent out updates to his almost 17 million followers on X as the rescue was underway. Afterward, he offered to adopt him. “Caramelo, Brazil loves you! ! ! My God, what happiness,” he wrote.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s wife, Janja, posted a video of herself sharing the good news with the Brazilian leader, whispering into his ear at an official event. He smiled, gave a thumbs-up and hugged her. Rio Grande do Sul’s Governor Eduardo Leite also celebrated the rescue, posting on X: “All lives matter. We stand firm!” Caramelo, about 7 years old, is recovering at a veterinary hospital now.
More than 230,000 people have been displaced and another 136 reported missing since heavy rains and flooding began in Rio Grande do Sul, according to state authorities.
32. What does the underlined word “debilitated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Intelligent. B. Weak. C. Patient. D. Energetic.
33. Why did the horse climb onto the building
A. He was possibly scared by a loud sound. B He was likely to be driven by someone there.
C. He might want to find something to eat there. D. He perhaps had no other places to run to due to the flooding.
34. How is Caramelo according to the report
A. He is getting well again. B. He is being operated on.
C. He has fully recovered. D. He is close to death.
35. What can be a suitable title for the news report
A. Brazil cheers as horse rescued from rooftop B. Horse waiting to be saved from rooftop
C. Rescue broadcast live on television networks D. Massive floods badly influence Brazil’s state

Jahkil Jackson is the creator of the famous Project I Am. Through the project, Jahkil looks to raise awareness for reducing homelessness in Chicago and beyond.
Even at a very tender age, his deeds already drew the recognition of former U. S. President Barack Obama in 2017. Jahkil also pushes to motivate and influence fellow kids to get more active and useful in their communities. When he was five years old, Jahkil assisted his aunt in distributing food to the homeless in Chicago. Then the little boy was unhappy to find out that people could not afford a home. He was always eager to find out how he could offer help to people. And he would be mad for not being able to give money to anyone asking for help on the streets. He was determined to help the homeless in every way he could.
That strong desire later gave birth to the Project I Am, his nonprofit organization, which focused on helping the homeless people. He founded it at the age of eight, and has since then never looked back on his journey of charity.
Through Project I Am, Jahkil Jackson reaches out to the homeless by distributing “Blessing bags”. Provided in the blessing bags are diverse kinds of materials to help the needy, including wipes, hand sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, bottled water, among other things.
Jahkil Jackson is also one of the key workers in Dream for Kids, another nonprofit organization founded by Tom Tuohy, a social entrepreneur. Jahkil met with Tuohy at a Holiday for Hope event organized by the Dream for Kids. From there, he became the youngest ever student in the YES (Youth Enterprise Solution) program by the Dream For Kids. He has been working with them since then.
19. For what purpose did Jahkil create Project I Am
A. To get awards. B. To collect money.
C. To do charity. D. To make friends.
20. How does Project I Am help

Disease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.
Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful mosquito repellent (驱虫剂) ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic (合成的) repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.
In my lab at Iowa State University, my team and I have been conducting research on natural products as possible insect repellents for the past 20 years. In the past few years, three of my Ph.D. students have contributed greatly to our research by designing, synthesizing, purifying, characterizing and testing more than 300 closely related chemicals coming from the best of natural repellents like citronellol, menthol and thymol.
These students have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, houses, barracks and horse barns. The second group of the new repellents are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; some researchers have conducted testing on some humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.
The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable (可生物降解的), with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.
28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes
B. The difficulty in fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.
C. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.
D. The way mosquitoes spread diseases.
29. How are the second group of the new repellents
A. They are more effective for children.
B. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.
C. They are mainly used in the open air.
D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.
30. Why does DEET have its disadvantages
A. It won’t be effective for long. B. It can’t be applied universally.
C. It causes discomfort to some users. D. It greatly harms people’s health.
31. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents
A. Disapproving. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了蚊子变得越来越可怕，寻找对抗蚊子的方法刻不容缓，虽然避蚊胺是目前最常用、最有效的驱虫剂，但科学家依然在积极研究完全基于植物油的产品，作者及其团队研制出了新型驱虫剂。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.(每年有近7亿人感染蚊媒疾病，导致100多万人死亡。在世界许多地方，人类持续遭受携带疾病的蚊子的压力，因此我们必须找到对抗这些昆虫的方法，因为它们变得越来越可怕。)”可知，本段主要讲述了寻找对抗蚊子的方法刻不容缓。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The second group of the new repellents are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; some researchers have conducted testing on some humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.(第二组新型驱虫剂是经典的驱虫剂，可以阻止昆虫站在经过处理的表面上，如人体皮肤、衣服或帐篷；一些研究人员对一些人进行了测试，以确认其有效性并确定最佳的方法。)”可知，第二组新型驱虫剂可以阻止蚊子站在人体皮肤上，即阻止蚊子接触使用者。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it.(虽然避蚊胺是一种有效的接触性驱蚊剂，但许多人不喜欢皮肤上的油腻感和气味，有时有些人对它过敏。)”可知，许多人不喜欢避蚊胺的油腻感，还有些人会对它过敏，即避蚊胺会让一些人感到不适。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents(它们保留了天然驱虫剂的许多优点)”和“However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.(然而，由于还没有足够的证据，将进行彻底的测试以确定它们是否真的无毒。)”可知，作者承认了新型驱蚊剂的优点，并指出需要进行彻底的测试，由此可推测出，作者对其持客观态度。故选B。
D
CANOAS, Brazil — A Brazilian horse nicknamed Caramelo by social media users drew national attention after a television news helicopter filmed him trapped on a rooftop in southern Brazil, where massive floods have killed more than 113 people. About 24 hours after he was first spotted and with people asking for his condition, a team in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state successfully removed Caramelo on Thursday, providing some hope for the flooded region.
The brown horse had been balancing on two narrow pieces of slippery asbestos (石棉) for days in Canoas, a city in the Porto Alegre metropolitan area, which is one of the hardest-hit areas in the state, much of which has been isolated by floodwaters.
“We found that the animal was rather debilitated,” Tiago Franco, a firefighter from Sao Paulo sent to lead the rescue, said. “We tried to approach in a calm way.” Firefighters and veterinarians (兽医) climbed onto the mostly underwater roof, sedated (给……服镇静剂) and then laid the horse on an inflatable raft — all 350 kilograms of him. The operation involved four inflatable boats and four large support boats, with firefighters, soldiers and other volunteers.
The rescue was broadcast live on television networks that filmed the process from their helicopters. Social media influencer Felipe Neto sent out updates to his almost 17 million followers on X as the rescue was underway. Afterward, he offered to adopt him. “Caramelo, Brazil loves you! ! ! My God, what happiness,” he wrote.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s wife, Janja, posted a video of herself sharing the good news with the Brazilian leader, whispering into his ear at an official event. He smiled, gave a thumbs-up and hugged her. Rio Grande do Sul’s Governor Eduardo Leite also celebrated the rescue, posting on X: “All lives matter. We stand firm!” Caramelo, about 7 years old, is recovering at a veterinary hospital now.
More than 230,000 people have been displaced and another 136 reported missing since heavy rains and flooding began in Rio Grande do Sul, according to state authorities.
32. What does the underlined word “debilitated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Intelligent. B. Weak. C. Patient. D. Energetic.
33. Why did the horse climb onto the building
A. He was possibly scared by a loud sound.
B He was likely to be driven by someone there.
C. He might want to find something to eat there.
D. He perhaps had no other places to run to due to the flooding.
34. How is Caramelo according to the report
A. He is getting well again. B. He is being operated on.
C. He has fully recovered. D. He is close to death.
35. What can be a suitable title for the news report
A. Brazil cheers as horse rescued from rooftop
B. Horse waiting to be saved from rooftop
C. Rescue broadcast live on television networks
D. Massive floods badly influence Brazil’s state
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一匹被困洪水中的马被救的过程，全国人都关注对它的营救，并为它的成功得救感到高兴。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The brown horse had been balancing on two narrow pieces of slippery asbestos (石棉) for days in Canoas, a city in the Porto Alegre metropolitan area, which is one of the hardest-hit areas in the state, much of which has been isolated by floodwaters.(几天来，这匹棕色的马一直在卡诺亚斯的两块狭窄的光滑石棉上保持平衡。卡诺亚斯是阿雷格里港大都市区的一个城市，是该州受灾最严重的地区之一，大部分地区都被洪水隔绝了)”和倒数第二段的最后一句“Caramelo, about 7 years old, is recovering at a veterinary hospital now.(大约7岁的Caramelo现在正在一家兽医医院休养)”可知，这匹在洪水中马被困了几天，被救后在一家兽医医院休养。所以，当时他肯定是“虚弱的”，划线单词debilitated与B项中的weak“虚弱的”意义一致。故选B项。
【33题详解】

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“Caramelo, about 7 years old, is recovering at a veterinary hospital now.(大约7岁的Caramelo现在正在一家兽医医院休养)”可知，Caramelo正在恢复健康。故选A项。
