Kevin Beard is my class instructor. Most weeks, I’d greet Kevin as he set up gloves, mats, and
other equipment. So I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room
telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly
wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “ amazing” and
“accomplishment.”I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier,
he'd received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52.
英语 第 3 页 共 10 页
Having dyslexia（阅读障碍）, Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support
himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some
promise: working for a sheriff's department. Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his
education, they said they a hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new
career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance.
Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and
correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge,
something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he
did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he
could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,” he said.
Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it's like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I
can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.”
This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and
his next step is college.“Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,”he said.
24. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom
A．He was worried about his job. B．He had reached one of his goals.
C．He was moved by a touching movie. D．He had experienced something terrible.
25. What do the underlined words “came clean” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Told the truth B．Passed a test
C．Started a new job D．Achieved a clean record
26. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED
A．By doing things that interest him. B．By writing himself encouraging words.
C．By reporting his test results to his tutor. D．By reminding himself of his
improvement.
27. What can we learn from Kevin’s story
A．Easy come, easy go. B．Grasp all, lose all.
C．Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D．The early bird catches the worm.
C
Many strawberry farmers prefer to remove natural habitat around their farms to keep wild birds,
and any bacteria（细菌）they carry, away from their fields and crops. However a new study published
in 2022 shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds,
including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.
The study was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along California’s Central Coast. It found that
birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat berries without surrounding natural habitat.
For the study scientists looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal（排泄物）samples from 55 bird
species, combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys. They used the information to figure out
what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying
bacteria. Using this data, the scientists then ranked wild birds to see which were more likely to bring
英语 第 4 页 共 10 页
most benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, were ranked beneficial to farmland.
But the results were more than creating a list of“good”and“bad”birds. The study found that
most bird species brought both costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land
was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a
farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm. And farms with surrounding natural habitat
for birds constantly saw less damage and fewer bacteria problems than others.
The study was part of a series of research conducted in Daniel Karp’s lab at University of
California, Davis, all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife
surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that farms with natural habitat attracted
more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds so that farmers experience less berry
damage on farms with more habitat nearby.
28. What is the finding of the new study in 2022
A．Wild birds in farms decrease food-safety risks.
B．Natural habitat near farms reduces crop damage
C．Birds in natural habitat carry more bacteria to farms.
D．Farms neighboring natural habitat benefit most from birds.
29. Which of the following was a research step in the study
A．Analyzing 55 bird species.
B．Conducting 300 bird surveys.
C．Finding out what wild birds eat.
D．Ranking birds according to how they eat.
30. What determined the impact that birds brought to farms
A．Presence of neighboring farmlands.
B．Management of the surrounding land.
C．Location of natural habitat for wildlife.
D．Species of wild birds that lived near farms.
31. Why is a related study in 2020 mentioned in the last paragraph
A．To draw a conclusion. B．To make a comparison.
C．To support the research finding. D．To give background information.

Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert. The city may be known to the outside world for its
partying. But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass. The grass is
never laid on, played on or even stepped on. The grass is only there to look nice.
Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature（立法机构）to ban useless grass. It is trying
to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing
developments and in office parks.
It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of
water to survive. Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus. By tearing out
英语 第 5 页 共 10 页
the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.
In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of
new homes. It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out. But fewer
people are now using the program. Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019.
And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall. The Colorado River provides
much of Nevada’s drinking water. The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.
Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced. But they fear the reaction
to reforms（改革）like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them. Cynthia
Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona.“There might come a point
when city restrictions get too severe for some residents. They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,”
Campbell said. “For some people, it’s a pool. For some people, it’s grass.”
32. Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass
A．To protect the local people. B．To beautify the city.
C．To reduce water usage. D．To reduce waste.
33. What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003
A．Allowing planting grass before new houses.
B．Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.
C．Praising those who don’t sign on the program.
D．Awarding those who reduced water usage.
34. What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph
A．Many residents won’t follow the ban.
B．Reaction to the reform will vary personally.
C．Other measures should be taken to protect water.
D．Water officials should take many factors into consideration.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A．Las Vegas Plans to Ban Useless Grass
B．A Method Is Adopted to Save Las Vegas
C．Choices between Beauty and Practice
D．Grass Is Important but Useless in Las Vegas

Social media is a double-edged sword. It can be good or bad, depending on how people use it.
Here are several ways to help one use it responsibly.
36
Social media can be a big waste of time if you spend most of your day looking through what
other people post, commenting on and liking things, or looking at every message on your device.
英语 第 6 页 共 10 页
Instead, you should learn to practice some self-control and limit your usage every day.
37 Afterward, set an amount of time for your social media use, such as 10 minutes every
time.
Think twice before posting something.
Materials posted on social media are often more lasting than you think. And even if your post is
deleted, words and images you upload on these platforms can remain online and be difficult to
remove. 38 Therefore, before posting something online, consider if it would negatively
affectothers. If it is, then don’t post it. 39 This can destroy your reputation or others’.
Learn to check the truth of things that you see.
Some of the things you see on social media might not necessarily be true, especially when it
comes to news and information. You may immediately believe what you see and read. The danger of
this behavior is that you might be spreading misinformation if you share what you have seen before
checking the truth of the post. 40 Check from other sources whether what you have seen
and read is true. Ask opinions from other people.
A．Follow those that matter to you.
B．Don’t let social media eat all your time.
C．And you never know where they might end up.
D．What’s more, avoid posting unprofessional photos or bad comments.
E．Social media can have a powerful impact on a person’s emotional state.
F．Just make it a practice to research the accuracy of any information or image.
G．For example, try setting specific times per day when you check your social media accounts.

I still remember the day when we decorated the house, I was ten and it was two weeks before
Christmas. I was looking forward to my presents. Since I’m the youngest in the family, all of the
family members would give me a gift one way or another. Sometimes it was a cookie or a hug but it
was always there. I was the only center of attention and it was feeling good.
My uncles usually would ask me what I wanted before Christmas and that year I knew what I
wanted. It was the spaceship I saw in the ads. I was dreaming of opening a big gift box, and it was
there. But that year it came in a way that I wasn’t expecting.
It was two weeks before Christmas. Just two weeks. She couldn’t wait. My dear mother told my
英语 第 9 页 共 10 页
father that it was time, and then we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had a sister
now. But I didn’t want a sister. I wanted a spaceship. The next few days went so fast. No one was
caring about me. Everyone was talking about her and I knew that my life is never going to be the same
ever again. I wasn’t ready to grow up, to be a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.
On the day before Christmas, everyone was in our home, talking only about my newborn sister.
My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles didn’t ask me anything about the gift. She stole
everything I’d ever had, my life and my presents. Thinking about this, I cried to sleep. I had a
nightmare（噩梦）and woke up at the middle of the night. Shadows were all around me, and I was
defenseless and so weak. I ran into my parents’bedroom but couldn’t wake up my poor parents who
were just too worn out. I was standing near their bed, trying not to cry when I saw her. She was awake
and looking at me with her big eyes in her small bed.

Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying.
