A
Spring breakers don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy life in the sunshine for a week. U. S.
News carefully considered everything to bring you the best inexpensive spring break destinations.
KeyWest
This small island in the Florida Keys is known for its odd residents and best snorkeling(浮潜)
opportunities. While you’ll find plenty of spots for partying along rowdy Duval Street, you can also
soak up(充分体验) some culture at the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum. Plus, Key West offers
several budget-friendly vacation rentals, so you can save your cash for bars and boat tours.
Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is a tried-and-true Florida spring break location that is sure to please the
masses. Scope out a spot across the town’s 27 miles of white sand beaches to sunbathe, play
volleyball or scan the horizon(地平线 ) for bottlenose dolphins. Hotel prices are reasonable if you
book your accommodations in advance. Just note: This town bans alcohol consumption on the beach
during March, so you’ll have to enjoy your adult beverages elsewhere.
South Padre Island
With hotels offering nightly rates around $200 or less and DJs and celebrities holding
court at nightclubs, South Padre Island, Texas, is a hot spring break destination for college
students. This South Texas locale is only about 30 miles north of the U. S.-Mexico border,
meaning you’ll get to enjoy warm weather without having to leave the country. As an added
bonus, the island offers a free public shuttle system, so budget-conscious travelers won’t have
to worry about spending money on a rental car.
21．What can tourists do in Key West
A. Have a good surfing.
B. Bathe in the sun on the beach.
C. Throw a party anywhere on the island.
D. Visit the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum.
22．What is special about Panama City Beach
A. The hotel prices are low whenever you go.
B. It is a perfect destination for spring vacation.
C. You can see the bottlenose dolphins in person.
D. You can drink some wine on the beach in March.
23．What do the three travel destinations have in common

C. They offer a taste of culture. D. They offer free public shuttle system.

B
Most people who ran the marathon last month spent days before resting up and days after
recovering. But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s
confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one
leg and a prosthesis(义肢).
“Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg
and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push
their limits because I truly believe that we’re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so
pleasantly surprised that my body is held up, everything is held up and I’ve made it to 104.”
She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a
type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They
need a running blade(刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with
one because of the swelling(肿胀) she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect
to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued.
All together, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4,385 kilometers. During that time she has had a lot of
time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and
how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said.
“And our bodies are just amazing... This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s told
me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.”
24．Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons
A. She was driven by her interest.
B. She wanted to set a new record.
C. She intended to challenge herself.
D. She was inspired by people like her.
25．What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with
A. She didn’t get professional training.
B. She found it hard to keep her balance.
C. She suffered discomfort in her left leg.
D. She couldn’t use regular running blades.
26．What message does the author express through the story
A. Time works wonders. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
C. A good beginning is half the battle. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
27．What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Broersma
A. Critical. B. Admiring. C. Annoyed. D. Humorous.

C
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the first-ever limits on PFAS, also
known as forever chemicals, in drinking water. The agency says that the new rule will protect 100
million Americans from six PFAS known to cause a host of health problems. “I support the decision,”
says Susan M. Pinney, director of the Center for Environmental Genetics at the University of Cincinnati.
“It’s in line with what we know about the health effects of PFAS.”
But while public health experts approve of the new rule, they think that getting forever
chemicals out of our drinking water will be a demanding task given the great quantity of PFAS found
in it along with the difficulty in removing them.And it may come at a cost to consumers.
The downside of the new rule is the cost of employing the technology to fix the problem. The
EPA guesses that between 6 and 10 percent of the nation’s 66,000 public drinking water systems may
have to make changes to their infrastructure(基础设施) in order to follow the new rule. Eleven states
already limit PFAS levels but many will still have to make operational changes if their levels are
above the national limit. The first task, Pinney says, should be determining the source of pollution to
prevent it from entering the water system—which is cheaper and easier than removing pollution
that’s already there.
The EPA estimates the annual cost at about $1.5 billion but Chris Moody, from the American
Water Works Association (AWWA), thinks it’s been vastly underestimated. In a report last year,
AWWA estimated the implementation(执行) budget at close to $3.8 billion. What will that mean for
the water bill Moody says the cost burden depends on the size of your local water treatment facility.
“Small systems just don’t have the economy of scale(规模经济 ) so the cost is much higher per
household,” he says.
While the EPA has only put strict limits on six PFAS based on a lot of scientific evidence,
thousands more are still in the environment. The hope is that once new infrastructure is in place it
will also remove many of those chemicals that haven’t yet been banned.
28．What is the primary goal of the EPA’s new rule
A. To protect public health by reducing exposure to PFAS.
B. To identify health problems caused by PFAS.
C. To monitor PFAS levels in drinking water.
D. To limit PFAS use in industry.
29．What should be the first step in addressing PFAS in drinking water according to SusanM. Pinney
A. Establishing national standards for PFAS levels.
B. Making operational changes to water facilities.
C. Counting PFAS-polluted water systems.
D. Identifying the origin of pollution.
30．What is the water bill closely related to according to Chris Moody
A. The AWWA’s level of support.
B. The accuracy of the EPA’s estimates.
C. The size of the local water treatment systems.
D. The local economic performance over the past year.
31．What does the EPA expect of the new infrastructure
A. It’ ll put stricter limits on the six known PFAS.
B. It’ ll remove many PFAS chemicals still allowed.
C. It’ ll be more environmentally friendly.
D. It’ ll be put into use as soon as possible.

D
Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or
skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London
zoo decided tomake a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead,
making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the
species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads,“This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and
streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese
crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal
wildlife trade.”
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become
virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly
99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their
wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting
for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated by the government at a UK
airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post,“We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile
House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having
on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local
communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement(执法) that targets illegal trade networks,
empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
32．Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin. B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water. D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
33．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
C. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
34．What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Sold. B. Seized. C. Stolen. D. Exhibited.
35．What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. The harm IWT caused. B. The purpose to show the handbag.
C. The importance of wildlife protection. D. The crisis endangered animals are facing.

Culture is one of the most important concepts within sociology because sociologists recognize
that it plays a critical role in our social lives. 36
Sociologists define the non-material aspects of culture as the values and beliefs, language,
communication and practices that are shared in common by a group of people. Expanding on
these categories, culture is composed of our knowledge, common sense, assumptions and
expectations. 37 It informs how we walk, sit, carry our bodies and interact with others, how
we behave depending on the place, time and “audience”, and how we express identities of race, class
and gender, among others.
38 This aspect of culture includes a wide variety of things, from building, technological
gadgets and clothing, to film, music, literature and art, among others. Aspects of material culture are
more commonly referred to as cultural products.
Sociologists see the two sides of culture—the material and non-material—as closely connected.
Material culture comes from and is shaped by the non-material aspects of culture. 39 But it is
not a one-way relationship between material and non-material culture. Material culture can also
influence the non-material aspects of culture. 40 This is why cultural products tend to follow
patterns. What has come before in terms of music, film, television and art, for example, influences
the values, beliefs and expectations of those who interact with them, which then, in turn, influence
the creation of additional cultural products.
A. It is made up of both non-material and material things.
B. Without culture, we would not have relationships or society.
C. Culture is also what we do and how we behave and perform.
D. Material culture is made up of the things that humans make and use.
E. Culture is different from social structure and economic aspects of society.
F. In other words, what we value, believe and know influences the things that we make.
G. For example, a great documentary film might change people’s attitudes and beliefs.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Joe entered Mr. Cooper’s classroom on the first day of the new school year, his long hair tied in
a ponytail(马尾辫). “What are you doing with that ponytail, dear Joe You look like a little girl!” Mr.
Cooper asked curiously. The rest of his classmates laughed. Joe looked down in shame, but he knew
he had to keep growing it for his reason.
The previous year, Joe had decided to grow his hair, a decision that hadn’t attracted much
attention due to the start of the summer holidays. However, now that he was back at school, everyone
saw how overgrown his hair was because he kept it in a ponytail.
Unfortunately, the comments didn’t stop. Every day, the boys in his class teased him, believing he
simply wanted to be different. The poor eight-year-old boy returned home each day in tears, but he never
told the truth to his parents. Instead, he started hiding his tears in the bathroom at some point.
Mrs. Burns, the art teacher, was relatively new at the school. One day, after everyone had left
for recess(课间休息), she found Joe crying. “Joe, what’s going on Why are you growing your hair
so long ” she asked gently.
“Well, I volunteered in a children’s hospital last April. There were many kids who had cancer
and lost their hair,” Joe explained. After a brief pause, he continued, “The hospital called for young
volunteers to grow hair and donate it. They would use the donated hair to create beautiful wigs for
those unfortunate children. Since then, I’ve been growing my hair. Unfortunately, now boys in my
class often laugh at me when seeing my long hair.”
Touched by his story, Mrs. Burns asked, “Do your classmates know why you’re growing your
hair ” Joe shook his head, telling that no one had ever asked him. “Do you have any photos of the
children in the hospital ” she asked. Joe nodded and quickly took a few out from his school bag.

Students’ Voluntary Work in a Community
Last Saturday witnessed a voluntary activity organized by the Students’ Union in the nearby community themed at “Step into the Community, Serve Everyone”, which was well received by the neighborhood.
The event was filled with meaningful activities. The voluntary work started from nine o’clock, lasting for three hours. Upon our arrival at the local community center, we began to conduct different tasks. Not only did we clean public spaces, but also we assisted the elderly with their daily tasks. Additionally, we organized a health awareness campaign, educating residents on healthy living habits.
All the students involved participated with great enthusiasm. I deeply realized the significance of community engagement and the fulfillment voluntary work brings.

Mrs. Burns took them from Joe’s hands and looked at them carefully. What came into her eyes were some children lying in bed, most of whom were smiling bravely. Deeply touched, she gave Joe a huge hug. “Joe, you should be proud of yourself for helping others. Let me help you!” She said gently, her voice full of admiration. When the bell rang, Joe’s classmates hurriedly returned to the classroom. Having noted that everyone was seated, Mrs. Burns showed them photos of those poor kids. After hearing the story, Joe’s classmates were all moved, with tears welling up in their eyes.
Suddenly, one boy stood up and rushed towards Joe, giving him a hug. “Joe, I’m sorry for teasing you. I didn’t know you were doing this for such a good reason,” he apologized in a sincere voice. Following him, the rest of the boys also expressed their admiration for Joe’s courage and kindness. Tears rushed down the face of Joe and many others. The rest of the day, all the kids asked Joe about his donation and what it was like. The boys planned to grow their hair as well, and the girls determined to join in the donation. Not only did they know more about Joe’s act of kindness, but also learned the essence of empathy and understanding.
