B
I was in a new state at a new school and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No. 8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I'd do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we'd talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, the new dog they'd just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased（开玩笑）that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I'd do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other's absence, a note of joy at their return.
I'd found a place to stand on solid ground.
24. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes
A. He liked the August heat better. B. He had to go back to the class.
C. He wanted to show off his new car. D. He didn't think the dryer worked well.
25. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No. 8
A. She was warm hearted. B. She needed a volunteer.
C. She wanted to thank him. D. She was sorry for the mess.
26. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry
A. It was harder to fulfill. B. It was really fascinating.
C. It was badly paid work. D. It needed a lot of effort.
27. What can be inferred about the author from the passage
A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B. He made a lot of friends in college.
C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.
C
First constructed in the first century as a part of a villa, the garden of Keyuan in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, was rebuilt and redecorated on numerous occasions throughout history until it became a Confucian academy in 1805. The waterscape, rockeries and flourishing willows may have greeted students to step into a "painting" where earthly beauty and dynamics of a real world can be felt.
However, in recent history, the shine of the past seems to have been forgotten by the passing of time. The pond was muddy. Rocks were unstable. Plants were withering. Termites also damaged the buildings, the structure of which had been damaged through decades of neglect. The contrast became even more regrettable when the Great Wave Pavilion, a garden on the UNESCO World Heritage List that is just a few meters away across a narrow lane, was crowded with tourists every day.
When Keyuan was handed to He Fengchun, an experienced garden renovation designer, in 2016, her work to make "the pearl" shine again was challenging. "Every step in the restoring and decorating process has to follow historical recordings," says the designer. "It took just more than one year for us to actually renovate this garden, but much longer time was spent in evaluating every detail in the plan and making sure of its historical accuracy," she says.
Renovation of Keyuan was recognized with an Asia Pacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation by UNESCO in 2021. A bright and elegant garden is now accessible to visitors and jointly describes a culturally rich neighborhood with the Great Wave Pavilion.
And now, to keep healthy, it also needs regular maintenance, in which modern science plays a key role. For example, with support of big data analysis and scientific evaluation of impact brought by tourism, the largest numbers of visitors within a day or even an hour are set for every key site to create a comfortable experience for both tourists and the gardens.
28. What do the underlined words "the pearl" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Keyuan. B. The UNESCO World Heritage.
C. Renovation of Keyuan. D. The Great Wave Pavilion.
29. What does the designer say about renovating Keyuan
A. It's practical. B. It`s significant.
C. It's time consuming. D. It`s urgently needed.
30. What does the author want to tell us by the example in the last paragraph
A. The need to limit the number of visitors.
B. The negative impact tourism has on gardens.
C. The comfortable experience gardens give visitors.
D. The role modern science plays in protecting gardens.
31. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Process of Repairing Keyuan
B. Beauty of Classical Suzhou Gardens
C. The Shinning of the Garden of Keyuan Again
D. Classical Gardens of World Cultural Heritage
D
Squirrels eavesdrop on（窃听）the chatter of songbirds to work out whether the appearance of a predator（食肉动物）is cause for alarm, researchers have found. Animals including squirrels have previously been found to tune in to cries of alarm from other creatures.
But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.
Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers reported on how they made their discovery by observing 67 grey squirrels as they pottered about（晃悠）different areas in the residential regions of Oberlin.
After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red tailed hawk, which lasted a couple of seconds—and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.
The results revealed that in the 30 seconds after hearing the hawk call the squirrels increased the percentage of their time spent "vigilant"（警惕）compared with before the call, while they also looked up more often to scan the environment. Squirrels that were played bird chatter raised their heads less often during the recording and the number of these "look ups" dropped off faster over time.
"Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging（觅食）success," the authors wrote.
The team suggested that with levels of human made noise increasing, squirrels may find it harder to eavesdrop on birds, meaning they may have to spend more time being alert and less time foraging.
Dr. Jakob Bro Jorgensen, co author of the study from Oberlin College, said: "The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant," he said. "And it
makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive（无处不在的）impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven't thought of."
32. What does the new research find about squirrels' eavesdropping
A. It lacks scientific evidence. B. It is more widespread and broader.
C. It needs to be further investigated. D. It is contradictory to previous findings.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The subject of the experiment. B. The findings of the experiment.
C. The process of the experiment. D. The purpose of the experiment.
34. Why is recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety important for squirrels
A. They can escape from potential risks.
B. It helps them to forage food successfully.
C. It is safe for them to play with their mates.
D. They can adapt to a new environment quickly.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research
A. It`s possible effects. B. Its appeal to the public.
C. Expectations for further study. D. Scientists with new awareness.

Home accidents occur unexpectedly everywhere in and around the house. 36 One of the best ways is to take action ahead to prevent them from happening.
37 If you find any object lying on the floor, you need to pick it up and keep it on the table. Otherwise, it might hurt anybody in your house. Then, if you find that any of the electrical wires which needs repair, you must do it immediately. This kind of wires or switches can lead to short circuit（短路）in the house. 38 To make your home shock proof, you must check the wires from time to time. This will not only keep you safe, but will also protect other members of the family.
Another way is keeping a first aid kit in your room. When you prepare a first aid kit for your house, you need to decide about the things that you need to keep inside it. First of all, you need band aids. You must make sure that these band aids are of all sizes and they must also be waterproof. 39 The painkillers will help you when you get hurt or if you are in great pain due to some home accidents. You will also need cotton, wool, scissors as well as safety pins. If you have these things inside the first aid kit, then you will surely not have any problem in the future. 40
A. Then you need to have tape as well as painkillers.
B. So what you need to do is prepare yourself for them.
C. In addition, you also have the chances of getting shock.
D. Here are necessary things you should put in a first aid kit.
E. This will protect you from the accidents which are common.
F. You can follow certain rules to prevent pain and accidents.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写最后一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My story started one autumn morning, at the bend on a path.
I was 13 years old, and was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point that I forgot all fear, I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around, only me and the fox.
“Hey, fox!” I tried to greet it, though my voice was so weak it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didn`t hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating flat out. It was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch it.
Throughout the day at school, I could only think of the fox at the big beech（山毛榉）tree. At my return to the place where we met, I was sure I`d find it there.
And I did. This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it, “Fox!” Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its kennel（洞）and catch it, I would try and tame（驯服）it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter, I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the howling of wolves near me. I ran away frightened, stumbled and hurt my ankle. It healed very slowly, so that I had to stay at home during the winter, reading a book about animals of the forest and foxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I looked for fox kennels and waited for my fox. To my amazement, it had got young ones but kept moving because of my observations; therefore I decided to observe the fox from a longer distance.
Finally, it would let me get close. Finally, it would let me get close.
But before that, several days had seen my distant and patient observation, during which time the fox gradually got accustomed to my presence and finally quit moving. Delighted to see its attitude transformation, I started to bring some food, put it outside the kennel and soon returned to my distant observation site to avoid disturbing and frightening the fox. Every time, it carried the food back to the kennel after cautiously sniffing. Several times later, I attempted to get close and was astonished to find that it didn`t get away. What thrilled me further was that it would even initiatively walk to me and lie beside me for a while. So thrilled was I that one day I impulsively took it home, imaging to tame it with tips from my book.
To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled. _________________________________________________

应用文参考范文
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a captivating novel set during World War II, following the story of young Bruno, a German boy who befriends Shmuel, a Jewish boy behind the fence of a concentration camp. As their friendship blossoms, the harsh realities of war become increasingly evident, leading to a heartbreaking conclusion.
Reading this book evoked a range of emotions within me, from sadness to empathy. It taught me valuable lessons about compassion and understanding.
I highly recommend this book for its powerful storytelling and thought-provoking themes. It's a reminder of the importance of friendship and the impact of war on innocent lives.
读后续写参考范文
To my surprise, the day after I took it home, it fled. A mixture of grief and disappointment overwhelming me, I rushed towards the kennel, expecting to take it back again. However, what came into my sight when I arrived deeply shocked and touched me. The fox was surrounded by its young ones, some of whom were lying in its warm belly peacefully and leisurely, with its eyes narrowing under warm sunshine and soft forest breeze. It was at this moment that I realized why the fox fled and what I should do. Since then, my selfish desire to occupy and tame it has completely vanished. Instead, I just regularly brought some food and observed quietly and contentedly from the distance as I did before, because I have been convinced that fascination and affection mean respecting and giving freedom instead of occupation.

17-20. What do disabled travelers look for when choosing a city to visit
In 2018, the value of the so-called “purple pound”（the spending power of disabled people）to UK tourism was estimated at ￡15.3 billion, while 27 million travelers with disabilities in the US took 81 million trips and spent about $58.7 billion（￡45.8 billion）in that same year.
There was a survey about a city`s appeal to disabled travelers. Now, let`s find out what the respondents think of the top 3 cities—Singapore, Las Vegas and Sydney.
According to Nilesh Joshi, who has mobility challenges but doesn`t use a wheelchair, “Singapore allows me to independently move around using public transport.”
Overwhelmingly, however, the most important factor for survey respondents was not physical accessibility but being treated with understanding and respect. Joshi said, “Always smiling, welcoming and helpful, the people of Singapore make a big difference for the disabled to feel accepted and looked after.” Besides, one of Singapore`s major
tourist attractions, Gardens by the Bay, is fully wheelchair-accessible.
According to prominent wheelchair blogger John Morris, who visits Las Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, “The city has one of the highest concentrations of accessible hotel rooms in the world.”
Julie Jones, publisher of Travel Without Limits, the world`s only print magazine dedicated to accessible travel, praises Sydney`s accessibility. She said, “The majority of the public transport system is accessible to wheelchair users.”
