A
The following are a few places recommended by tourists.
Ka'awaloa Trail
The pathway is steep and continues for about 2 miles each way, so the way there will be a lot easier than the way back. Keep in mind that the loose rocks may present a dangerous situation when slippery, so do carry the appropriate footwear and plenty of water to fight against the intense sun.
Mauna Kea Summit
Most hikers give themselves 8 to 10 hours to finish the journey. Don't forget to register at the Mauna Kea Visitors Center before setting out, and plan on being back before sunset. The weather here is unpredictable and completely unique to the rest of the island. This area is pure wilderness, and altitude sickness is a definite risk, so researching the hike in advance on the Mauna Kea website is a must.
Waipio Valley Trail
Famed Waipio Valley, the former home of King Kamehameha, shouldn't be missed by nature lovers. Be sure to catch a glimpse of nearby Hiilawe Falls from here, flowing 1,300 feet at the back of the valley. About 6.5 miles round-trip, this adventure will most likely be too difficult for beginner hikers due to the steep inclines（倾向） and length.
Onomea Bay Trail
Onomea Bay offers two different hikes from the Mamalahoa Highway in Papaikou. The first, the Donkey Trail, follows a stream through the Hawaiian rainforest past a small waterfall and to the ocean. The second, Onomea Trail，goes just to the right of the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden and past the Alakahi stream. Many choose to combine the trails or pair the hike with the botanical garden for added adventure.
21. What should tourists be careful about in Ka'awaloa Trail
A. Burning. B. The steep pathway.
C. Dry weather. D. Loose rocks.
22. Why is the visit to the Mauna Kea website in advance？
A. The journey lasts long. B. There's a potential danger.
C. There exist many tourists. D. The weather is unpredictable.
23. What do the last two items（Waipio Valley Trail and Onomea Bay Trail） have in common？
A. They attract plant lovers.
B. Tourists can hike along a stream.
C. Tourists can see waterfalls.
D. They aren't suitable for beginner hikers.
B
The term “quiet quitting” went viral last year, describing people who stay in their jobs but mentally take a step back—for example, working the bare minimum and not making their job the center of their lives. Now in 2023, there is a new workplace trend on the horizon, called “quiet hiring”.
Quiet hiring is a strategy used to fill the critical gaps in a company without hiring new employees. One company has a limited amount of talent and needs to make a call about where it’s going to have the best impact. This year it may need to add five more data scientists to its team to meet the strategic goals. As a solution, it may move five employes from another department only for a short time, like data analysts in the human resources and marketing department, into the five open data scientist roles.
In this case, the boss is saying, “We’re going to intentionally deprioritize support for HR and marketing for the next six months so that we can increase the productivity of our data science team, and we are saying this sound and clearly Everyone knows this.” The important distinction with quiet hiring is that a company is openly communicating with employees about its priorities and moving employees to areas that serve those priorities, instead of just loading employees with more work or simply hiring more people.
While being assigned to a new role may seem scary, quiet hiring should be beneficial to employees. If you were asked to take on additional responsibilities, it would indicate your value. Meantime you might say, “If it’s not possible to increase my payment, can we make it so that I can work from home five days a week. reducing my commute (通勤) costs Or, could work flexible hours, making it easier for me to live the rest of my life ”
An individual conversation may be ineffective. If you’re part of a department or team being asked to switch roles, employ that power and approach human resources as a group.
24. What does the strategy of quiet hiring refer to
A. Adding more positions.
B. Training new employees.
C. Employing new talent secretly
D. Shifting existing staff to new posts.
25 What is the feature of a company's handling quiet hiring
A. Innovations are highly valued.
B. Employees are burdened with overwork.
C. Roles of departments are changed regularly.
D Personnel changes are announced beforehand.
26. What suggestion does the author offer to employees
A. Negotiate on extra jobs. B. Take on new roles as a team.
C. Shoulder more duties on work. D. Balance between work and life.
27.Which is a suitable title for the text
A. Hiring more or less B. Quiet quitting or quiet hiring
C. Quiet hiring: A workplace debate D. Quiet hiring: An upcoming tendency
C
From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family's time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell's laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic（怀旧的）account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”|
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family's five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell's attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you'll be laughing as Larry's clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you'll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it's the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
28. Which word best describes Durrell's life in Corfu
A. Risky. B. Busy. C. Tough D. Diverse.
29. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph
A. I introduced my family by mistake.
B. I shouldn't have introduced my family.
C. I couldn't help introducing my family
D. I gave wrong information about my family
30. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about
A. The book's writing feature.
B. Durrell's rich imagination.
C. Some interesting plots of the book.
D. Some vivid descriptions of the island.
31 What is the purpose of this text
A. To share an experience.
B. To recommend a book.
C. To introduce a writing style
D. To describe an unusual place.
D
“You're so smart!” This encouraging response to children's math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children's performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what's referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children's actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children's math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children's strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can't be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics—in particular, related to failure—are more likely to avoid harder math problems, exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.
32. Which of the following is an example of process response
A. You are a lucky dog.
B. Running is in your blood.
C. What works well for your study
D. Why are you such a math genius
33. What can be inferred from the study results
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C. Process responses help with children's math achievement.
D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
34. What do researchers advise parents to do
A. Restrict person responses.
B. Defend their own beliefs.
C. Stress children's performance
D. lgnore children's math problems.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C. Responses to Enhance Children's Math Performance
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math

Shanti wanted the wooden doll in Ramu's toy shop and told her best friend, Jodi about it. Jodi wondered if she could afford it.
Shanti smiled. “I asked my mom if I could make jasmine garlands （花环） and sell them at my aunt's stand in the market.” Jodi thought it was a good idea.
Early the next morning, the girls met at the jasmine bushes outside Shanti's house. Delicate white flowers surrounded them with fresh scent. They picked blossoms with their fingers and then sat under a mango tree, tying up the flowers into garlands. Shanti could already see herself hugging that beautiful doll.
“If we sell enough garlands, we can each get a doll.” said Shanti.
Jodi shook her head. Her family was low on money that week. She had to use her money to pay for Kiran's medicine. Kiran was Jodi's little brother. Then Jodi picked up her garlands. “My mother is expecting me. I’ll meet you at the market.”
Shanti spent the afternoon selling garlands alone. By early evening, Shanti had sold all her flowers.
On the way home, Shanti saw Jodi heading to the market with her garlands. She was late because she had to watch Kiran while her mother was away.
“Why didn't you take him with you ” Shanti said.
Jodi shook her head. “He's too sick to go out. He coughs and coughs.”
Shanti knew Jodi wouldn't make enough money for the medicine now. The market would be closing soon.
Shanti looked at the purse tightly held in her hand. It was supposed to be for the beautiful doll she'd been dreaming of for long. Then she looked at her friend's tired face. “Here. Keep this for the medicine.”
That night Shanti cried, thinking about the doll. What if someone bought it before she'd saved up enough again
Paragraph l:
The next week, while Shanti and Jodi gathered blossoms, Kiran came, too.
Paragraph 2:
Mom comforted Shanti with bugs. and then handed her a filled package wrapped in paper.
