Not every man is cut out to be a father. If the thought of fatherhood fills you with fear, maybe it isn’t for you or maybe it’s a sign that you take the responsibility of fatherhood seriously.
As a parent, you are always going to have to trust your instincts（本能）. There’s no comprehensive rule book on parenting. You’ll screw up sometimes. (Hopefully, your husband or wife will be there to nudge（用肘推）you in the right direction. ) And, as in many other aspects of life, doing the right thing will rarely make you popular. Your kids will need limits and discipline, and some days they will get angry with you for it. But the kids know on some level that they need limits and that the responsible parent who is setting and enforcing them is doing so because he or she cares. It’s the children whose parents allow them to do anything they want who often harbor doubts about whether they are really loved.
Certainly, we can find meaning in a lot of places in life. But for most of us who have seen the emergence of a small baby, fatherhood gives life unparalleled meaning. Parenthood, for a lot of us, may well be an antidepressant—not because you always feel good, but because you no longer have any time to sit around feeling bad. Your kids will always need you in one way or another—first for bottle-feeding, then as fellow pretend superheroes and to apply Band-Aids to skinned knees, and then, when they are teenagers, as a free personal Uber service or, once in a great while, for unexpected deep talks about the meaning of life.
I know what I did with my kids day after day, night after night, year over year, mattered so much. I won’t pretend to have everything figured out about life, but I did figure out the immeasurable value in being one link in a great chain of family, stretching back to our ancestors and continuing into the future, into whatever the world throws at us next.
24. What does the underlined phrase“screw up”in paragraph 2 mean？
A. Mess up. B. Feel down. C. Stay strong. D. Get inspired.
25. Which statement will the author probably agree with？
A. Parenting books are essential for parents.
B. Strict parents are popular with their kids.
C. Disciplining kids is a way to show love.
D. Kids seldom understand parents’ intentions.
26. Why does the author mention the things a parent does for kids in paragraph 3？
A. To share some parenting tips.
B. To stress the difficulty of parents.
C. To recall the growth of his kids.
D. To show the value of being a parent.
27. How does the author mainly feel about fatherhood？
A. Fearful. B. Stressed. C. Proud. D. Amused.
C
Now an interesting effort is underway to study and protect the reefs（礁）. Aran Mooney, a marine biologist, is part of a network of scientists who’ve set up underwater microphones to essentially listen in on marine life.
“It’s just really striking what we can learn without actually visually observing,”says Mooney.“Just by listening—quiet listening—we can observe what the animals are doing out there in the ocean.”
The scientists are racing to record these sounds at reefs threatened by climate change and pollution. The coral reef off the U. S. Virgin Islands recorded in 2013, when it was abundant, includes a wide range of sounds. Shrimp pop bubbles. Whales and fish call out. A year ago, the scientists recorded a reef in the same area that had been degraded by pollution. This time most of the sounds were gone.
The animals have long departed-starting with the tiny larvae（幼虫）that are needed to build up new coral. But Mooney’s team has started an experiment: Setting up underwater speakers to broadcast their recordings of the reef from 2013 in hopes of attracting back the coral larvae. Mooney explains that these tiny jellyfish-like animals get released from healthy reefs and then float for a while in the sea looking for a place to settle. A healthy habitat is super important for them because that’s going to be their permanent location for the rest of their life. Once they attach themselves at the bottom, there’s no chance of moving.
To the scientists’ delight, the effort seems to be pared to a degraded reef where they’re not playing sounds, the reef that they’re acoustically（声学上）enhancing get more coral settlement. Specifically, about two to three times as much settlement. It will take a few more years to see if, as the coral gets re-established, more fish return as well. But Mooney says the results so far suggest an encouraging possibility: All these recordings don’t have to be one more reminder of a disappearing world. They could be a key to restoring it.
28. What is an effort made by Mooney’s team？
A. Observing marine animals visually. B. Recording the sound underwater.
C. Racing with other research groups. D. Communicating with marine animals.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The decline of the sounds. B. The diversity of the sounds.
C. The disappearance of the reef. D. The causes of the sea pollution.
30. What do we know about the coral larvae
A. They can block out the broadcast. B. They are cautious about their habitats.
C. They can change their locations easily. D. They are often accompanied by jellyfish.
31. Which word could be used to describe the experiment’s results according to Mooney
A. Worrying. B. Controversial. C. Precise. D. Promising.
D
Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars“unequivocally（毫不含糊地）safer,”data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention, and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency（透明）prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations（夸大）combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. Rushing the implementation of such technology without addressing its limitations could lead to serious consequences on the road.
32. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes from paragraph 2
A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded.
B. NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways.
C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small.
D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics.
33. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A. They are supported by comprehensive data.
B. They are based on limited driving environment.
C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers.
D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA.
34. What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed.
C. It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly.
35. Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars
B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving

In the little village of Meadowbrook, surrounded with rolling hills, lived two curious and adventurous twins, Sarah and Sam. At the age of twelve, the inseparable twins were always seeking new adventures.
One morning, Miss Harper, their favorite community service teacher, was introducing community volunteer work. Sam suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top.
“Sarah, ”whispered Sam, “Wouldn’t it be splendid if we climbed to the top of that hill today？It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our beloved village. ”
Hearing that, Sarah’s face lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagemess. “Oh, Sam, that sounds great！But we promise Papa and Mama we will save our pocket money and not spend a single penny unnecessarily. ”With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen, ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny.
The twins set off on their journey, their backpacks filled with sandwiches, cookies, and bottles filled with cool, clear water from the village well. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered（散落）about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them.
A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way？We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials. ”
Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins. With newfound treasures in their pockets, they climbed up the hill.
When they reached the top, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village. “It’s so beautiful！”Sam burst out,” We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates！”
