For my second career, as a weather forecaster (预报员), I jerked on the Canadian Plains, which is the second-best place to chase (追逐) severe weather, after Tornado Alley. I was also studying for a degree in Meteorology so I could interpret weather data and make my own forecasts. I didn’t want to be looked at as someone silly who didn’t know what she was talking about. Around that time, a photographer friend invited me to chase with him in the Alley for a month. I said sure; I wanted to learn everything I could.
During my second round in 2013, I got to see the largest tornado in recorded history—on the very fat day of the chase season. We were waiting in this dark and dirty gas-station parking lot in El Reno, Oklahoma. Chasers do that a lot. We sit around in groups waiting and eating junk food. The forecast called it a high-risk day, and finally, a tornado rolled in around 5: 30 p. m.
It started out as a little cloud and then turned into a 60,000-foot thunderstorm in maybe 20 minutes. We jumped in our car and raced toward it. A few minutes later I was looking out the window, filming this massive wall of what seemed like rain. We thought the tornado was hidden inside. But then I saw it taking shape and felt it sucking in wind. That’s when I realized that wall was the tornado itself it was around 2.6 miles across with winds nearly 300 miles per hour. It was explosive.
We hurried to be out of there. Cars packed the roads. All we could see were brake lights. We feared we’d be stuck. But in a few minutes, it was over.
Three storm chasers died that day, just up the road from where we’d been stuck. That had never happened before, So yeah, I wondered why I would risk going out again. But then the next chase season called me back.
4. Why did the author agree to chase tornadoes with her photographer friend
A. To earn credits for her degree. B. To forecast the weather on site.
C. To interpret weather data for the friend. D. To improve her profession performance.
5. What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. tornadoes occur once in a chase season. B. tornadoes are hidden behind a wall of rain.
C. Chasing tornadoes require time and patience. D. Chasing tornadoes involves group competition.

C. Traditional and ambitious. D. Determined and talented.

Under normal circumstances, falling asleep during a paid tour is a waste of money or an offense to your guide at worst. But that’s not the case with this new experience coming out of Hong Kong. As its name suggests, the Sleeping Bus Tour is designed to help passengers catch some sleep, and rides are already selling out.
A 2022 survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Center of Communication and Public Opinion notes almost 70% respondents experiences some form of sleep disorder. Hong Kongers have much stress from work and need a space for sleeping, but their living spaces are too small. Some may not live alone and have to share apartments with their family, which may not be a good environment for a proper rest.
After noticing passengers falling asleep on their buses, the Hong Kong tour company, Ulu Travel Agency, recently launched such an innovative way for adults to sleep: the Sleeping Bus Tour. The five-hour bus ride takes passengers on an 83-kilometer(about 51.5 miles)journey aboard a regular double decker bus. Not only is the Sleeping Bus Tour the first of its kind, it’s also the longest bus route in Hong Kong, ensuring that tired passengers have plenty of time to enjoy some sleep.
Once passengers board the bus, they are treated with a goodie bag complete with an eye mask and earplugs to help them sleep and they are allowed to bring their own blankets and slippers. The long ride includes a few stops for scenic spots and bathroom breaks. Passengers can also get off the bus early at one of several drop-off points if they’d prefer to continue their sleep at home rather than complete the entire journey. Tickets for the Sleeping Bus Tour are divided in four categories from the “Zero-decibel(分贝)Sleeping Cabin“ to the ”VIP Cabin.” Prices range from about $17 USD to S115 USD per person. For more information on this unique experience, head to the Ulu travel company website.
8. What does the survey show
A. Hongkongers desire to live alone. B. Hongkongers can afford paid tours.
C. Hongkongers are under extreme stress. D. Most Hongkongers have trouble sleeping.
9. Why was the Sleeping Bus Tour launched
A To improve the sleeping habits. B. To make more profits.
C. To reduce the stress from extra work. D. To help adult passengers rest properly.
10. What can a passenger get from the Sleeping Bus Tour
A. A ride in a high-tech bus. B. A guided sight-seeing tour.
C. A bag with sleep aid products. D. A blanket and a pair of slippers.
11. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a bus tour. B. To inform readers of a new survey.
C. To advertise a travel company. D. To raise concerns over sleep problems.
D
Off southern California seashores, the newcomers are starting to approach and they desire the nice and comfortable waters nearer to shore, which mean many beachgoers who at the moment are enjoying themselves have by no means seen the white sharks earlier. “When the little guys begin to pop up, everybody hurries to determine what is happening,” stated Douglas J. MeCauley, a marine science professor.
A brand-new mission applying artificial intelligence (AI) referred to as SharkEye might help maintain observations of those fearsome fish at the beach and help our community share the ocean more safely with sharks. It was developed by Dr. MeCauley’s lab, using a small drone (无人机)—an unoccupied air vehicle equipped with a video camera. It once worked well in San Diego State College where scientists used it to study shark migrations.
SharkEye has been carrying out examinations over the past two summers at Padaro Beach in Santa Barbara County. It is a well-liked space for surf camps, which additionally turns out to be a nursery for young white sharks, featuring comfortable waters and adequate diet. Young sharks are usually sighted between April and October; however, hotspot locations and numbers can vary year by year. Adult sharks tend to spend more time offshore, but they can be sighed closer to the coast in the late fall through to February.
With SharkEye, a pilot launches a drone that travels along a preprogrammed path in the sky. It stays about 120 feet high, permitting it to rapidly scan a big space of the ocean. Meanwhile, it can be sufficient to keep away from bothering marine life. Researchers in the SharkEye program combine the visual data collected by the drone with relevant information on the temperature of the ocean and migratory patterns in order to create predictions about the likelihood of great whites showing up on a certain day, near a certain section of the beach.
Chris Keet, an area surf retailer, who provides summer season camps and personal classes at Padaro Beach, is now changing his enterprise(企业经营) based mostly on the SharkEye information. After SharkEye recorded 9 sightings of sharks in July, Mr. Keet determined to cancel a two-decade-old summer season custom—campers dive and swim out.
12. What does the underlined word “newcomers” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Drones. B. Swimmers. C. Sharks. D. Professors.
13. What is the new task for SharkEye
A. Observing shark migrations. B. Guaranteeing beachgoers’ safety.
C. Preserving endangered marine life. D. Exploring potential ocean resources.
14. What can be learned about Padaro Beach
A. It features an abundant supply of energy. B. It can almost be called a shelter for sharks.
C. It is a surf camp known for its friendly sharks. D. It offers evidence of harmony between humans and sharks
15. What is probably the best title for the text
A. Drones monitor sharks’ arrival. B. The pros and cons of SharkEye.
C. Businessmen turn technology into profits. D. The application of AI technology to marine life.

Everyone in my drama class saw the paper in my hands shaking when I stood up to try out for a lead role in the yearly school Thanksgiving play. I was there because the teacher wanted everyone to try out for a part.
Being shy and not confident, I began nervously reading the part for the main character, Star. She had no parents. Feeling so sorry for her, I finished reading.
Later when reading the name list, the teacher looked at me and announced, “Patty, you play e and get your script (剧本).”I was shocked. Jim, an excellent boy, was playing the other lead.To learn my lines, I practiced every day and finally memorized them. I became more confident and happier.
Then we started practising acting. Jim played the character, a Scrooge (吝啬鬼), who is unwilling to put a candle in his window so that the light will show passers-by the slippery ice on the path below. On the Thanksgiving day, Star comes along, falls on the ice and gets injured.
Finally feeling bad, the Scrooge helps her up. To thank him, Star kisses his hand.
One day, before our drama class started, I saw a terrible drawing of me on the blackboard with words: Falling Star. I was laughed at by someone.
The teacher asked,“Who did this ” Nobody knew. We started rehearsing (排练), but my heart wasn’t in it. The teacher told me not to care about the silly trick; it wouldn’t happen again. But I was sad and anxious, wanting to quit. Finally I moved on and continually worked hard for the play.
Soon it was the day before the show. It was time for the dress rehearsal. I was excited. Everything went smoothly at the dress rehearsal until the scene where I slipped on the ice and the Scrooge helped me up.
When I kissed his hand, a terrible noise and laughter sounded from behind the set. I quickly left the stage and hurried into an empty room. With tears, I said, “I can’t do it. Please get someone else!”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder.
