When I was a teenage boy, my parents signed me up in a local junior golf camp. From that moment, my life has been pretty much devoted to the game.
When I play golf, there's always a chance of making something magical happen-whether it's breaking a personal record or potentially making a hole-in-one. This is the aspect of golf that attracted me in growing up. However, I had to take a break because I couldn't really afford to play while in college, suffering from burnout. I'd still go out once in a while to play with friends, but for the first time since my teens, I was away from my community.
Several years later, my enthusiasm for playing golf was inspired again. I became familiar with the game again after playing on and off at Langston Golf Course. From the moment I arrived. this place felt like one of the courses where I grew up: A modest spot where people of all working-class backgrounds came to experience the game, eat lunch or have a drink. A place where golfers who are Black, brown and women are welcomed.
The sense of community I've regained with the game is more than I could've ever imagined. I like hiking around, chasing a little white ball around a golf course. I also like connecting with old friends and meeting new ones. Some I've been playing with since high school, and our text threads are loaded with trash talk about who's playing well and who isn't. They're usually the ones spurring me to practice and get better. We share experiences on the golf course that are memorable and have stories for days: My circle only seems to be expanding, and I'm excited to see what the future bolds 24. Why was the author once away from his golf community
A. He couldn't spare time to play golf. B. He didn't feel a sense of achievement.
C. He wanted to make more new friends D. He tried to get out of his parents' control
25. What does the author say about Langston Golf Course
A. It carried his past memories B. It reminded him to keep modest
C. It offered him a sense of belonging. D. It witnessed his accomplishments
26. What does the underlined word "spurring" in paragraph 4 mean
A. Hating. B. Warning. C Forbidding D. Pushing.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Golf: My Journey to Greatness B. Golf. More Than a Game to Me
C. Discovering Enthusiasm for Golf D. Pursuing Perfection Through Golf
C
Some languages are rapid-fire and others more unhurried but there is no difference in the speed at which information is shared, according to the new research.
The world's 7000 or so languages differ greatly not only in their range of available phonemes-the units of sound that make up speech, but also in the pace at which these building blocks are thrown together in speech. But the new research into the information content in speech shows that languages allow their speakers to communicate about the same amount of information per second despite wide variations in the speed of speech.
To understand this better, researchers led by Christophe Coupé from the University of Lyon and Yoon Oh from the University of Canterbury studied recordings of 170 native adult speakers of 17 European and Asian languages. Each speaker read a set of standardized texts containing about 240, 000 syllables （音节）. The researchers found that the fastest language hit 9.1syllables per second, and the slowest a mere 4. 3. But this was cancelled out by the amount of information, measured in bits, that each syllable contained. This varied significantly. from 4. 8 bits per syllable for Basque to 8. 0 bits per syllable for Vietnamese.
The study found languages that pack a lot of information into sounds and syllables tend to be spoken more slowly, while those with a low information density （密度） are delivered more rapidly. While speech rat and information density fluctuate （波动） widely, the information rate - the speed at which information is delivered -stays consistently around 39. 15 bits per second.
The researchers say this appears to represent a optimal （最佳的） rat for giving and receiving information. Languages seem to stably inhabit an optimal range of information rates, away from the extremes that can still be available to individual speakers. Of course, not everybody speaks at the optimal information rate. We all know people who talk too quickly or slowly, and the new research may cast light on why we find listening to them hard work.
28. What has the new research found out
A. Languages tend to convey information with similar efficiency.
B. Languages have nearly the same range of available phonemes
C. The number of languages has gradually decreased to about 7000.
D. The speed of speech is determined by the information content.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. A further explanation of the research methods.
B. A brief introduction of the research process.
C. Potential application of the research findings.
D. Supporting evidence for the research results.
30. What can we learn from the finding of Christophe's study
A. More words in speech convey more information
B. The information rate remains at a reasonable level.
C. The speech rate can affect the information density.
D. Languages with more syllables are delivered faster
31. What can be inferred about the optimal information rate
A. It can lead to smooth communication. B. It may result in the difficulty of listening
C. It stays the same for individual speakers. D. It prevents speakers from going to extremes.
D
Out in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 60 miles off the northwest coast of Africa, lie the Canary Islands. In the 1950s, the boom in package tourism showed promise as a new cash crop. But while the Canary Islands had the sunshine, warm climate and ease of access from Europe needed for this new industry, they were missing a vital element- picture-postcard sandy beaches.
So the developers on Tenerife in the Canary Islands constructed a breakwater （防波堤） over half a mile long. And then, from the Western Sahara on Africa's northwest coast, they shipped in 270, 000 tons of sand. By 1973, the project was complete. As anticipated, tourists arrived. Along the engineered beach, rows and rows of tourists relax on beach chairs under umbrellas or walk across soft sand to cool down in the water.
Unanticipated was what their presence gave to one of the world's most endangered fish species, angel sharks - visibility. The gentle wind creates tiny waves on the water's surface, a magical cover for what lies beneath- an angel shark nursery. Female angel hark regularly migrate （迁徙） to these ideally sheltered waters to give birth to pups （幼崽）, who remain in the shallows for about a year. Feeding on small fishes, they grow to around the same length as a newborn human baby.
Surveys have shown that other beaches in the Canary Islands are also potential nursery sites. Interestingly, most of them have been remade to make them more attractive to people. Playa Chica has another long sweep of imported sand. It's an attraction for divers as well as angel sharks, so the number of sightings of mature angel sharks of this shoreline is one of highest in the islands.
Normally, massive, environmentally disruptive projects are bad for wildlife. But what's clear is that after the breakwater was built and the sand arrived, people followed, and in the calm, shallow waters they began to see baby angel sharks. And unlike how many an association between humans and wildlife ends-in conflict and dead animals- this time it led to conservation.
32. Why did the developers on Tenerife carry out the project
A. To build a base for shipping. B. To fight against the rising sea.
C. To boost the local tourism industry. D. To protect the island's eco-system.
33. What was an unexpected result of the project
A. It gave angel sharks a home.
B. It made a magical tourist attraction.
C. It caused the disappearance of some fishes.
D. It created conflicts between sharks and tourists.
34. What is the author's attitude toward the engineered beach
A. Intolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Favorable.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To highlight the financial benefits of tourism.
B. To explain the situation of endangered species.
C. To introduce potential human-wildlife coexistence.
D. To emphasize the importance of wildlife conservation.
