(2024 新课标Ⅱ卷)
Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to
read Yes,we all have our phones,but many of us still like to go old school and read
something printed.
Well,there’s a kiosk(小亭) for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area,at least.
“You enter the fare gates(检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can
get a one-minute,a three-minute,or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost,the chief
communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.
“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”
It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the
program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories,and some are new original
works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something
where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says.“And
as of right now,we’ve received about 120 submissions.The winning stories would go into our
kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit(交通) systems across the country has been down the past half
century,so could short stories save transit
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to
improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of
short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
1.Why did BART start the kiosk program
A.To promote the local culture.
B.To discourage phone use.
C.To meet passengers’ needs.
D.To reduce its running costs.
2.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk
A.By popularity. B.By length.
C.By theme. D.By language.
3.What has Trost been doing recently
A.Organizing a story contest.
B.Doing a survey of customers.
C.Choosing a print publisher.
D.Conducting interviews with artists.
4.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future
A.It will close down.
B.Its profits will decline.
C.It will expand nationwide.
D.Its ridership will increase.

Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education.Therefore,they
choose not to go to college.If you’re one of them,think again.Here are some reasons why you
should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge.We take that knowledge
later on to build our careers after graduation.More knowledge will be gained after you start
working,but without education,that job will not be within easy reach.Knowledge leads to
knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational places,we openly explore other
cultures of the world!We come to know that ours is not the only culture.Other cultures have
valuable things to share,enriching our own.Education also makes us want to travel and
exchange with various cultures,getting more experience.
When there’s a recession in the economy,those who attend college will be more likely to
find a new job than those who only finish high school and have a limited skill set.The more
education you have,the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you
have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you’re skillful and knowledgeable,you gain access to people of similar
backgrounds and tastes.It means a good education leads to excellent networking.Good
networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person.You can talk about ideas and
events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores.An educated person doesn’t
gossip(说闲话),having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to
say.
5.What can we learn about college education from paragraph 2
A.It offers you a chance to study abroad.
B.It can allow you to gain more knowledge.
C.It can improve the quality of your daily life.
D.It encourages you to travel around the world.
6.What does the underlined word “recession” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Change. B.Drop.
C.Growth. D.Support.
7.How can one benefit from a good education
A.You can gossip about others’ affairs.
B.You are likely to study well at school.
C.You can work well with your co-workers.
D.You get to know excellent people with similar interests.
8.What is the main idea of the passage
A.The benefits of attending college.
B.The exchange with other cultures.
C.The access to good networking.
D.The ways of college education.

which became Ray Charles’ first number one radio hit.In 1954,Renald Richard left Ray
Charles’ band.However,he stayed friendly with Ray Charles over the years.He became the
high school’s band director in his hometown until 1962.Four years later,he moved again to

by artists including Joe Turner,the Beatles,the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley to name a
few.Living now in Southern Florida,Richard is still active at the age of 92.As you can
