It was a carefree summer day when a father, Steven Poust, was out boating on the St. John’s River with his 4-year-old daughter Abigail and 4-year-old son Chase. The children were playfully swimming near their anchored boat while their father was fishing, smiling at his kids. Suddenly, Abigail got caught in the powerful current, forcing her to release the handle on the boat. Chase let go of the boat to take hold of his little sister, but he found himself caught in the current. When Steven jumped into the water to rescue his struggling children, he was also pulled in.
As they all drifted farther from the boat, the desperate father pushed his son to a safer place and tried to stick with his daughter as long as he could. However, he wore himself out later, and she drifted away from him. The father had to follow his daughter. So the responsibility to save the family was now on young Chase’s shoulders.
Steven instructed his son to swim to the shore and find immediate help. Meanwhile, he would attempt to retrieve his little girl, who was continuously being pulled farther from his reach.
Chase did as he was told. The young boy was swimming against the current, which made it more difficult to swim toward the shore. However, the young boy continued to swim with one thought in mind: to save his family. Chase swam as fast as he could to reach the riverbank. When he grew tired, Chase cleverly floated on his back; at times, he paddled to conserve his energy. Once he reached the shore, he raced to the closest house he could find, knocked on the door and screamed for help. The owners answered and immediately dialed 911.
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded quickly. They located the empty boat. In the water, they found kids’ shoes, a cellphone and fishing poles floating near the boat. After a 90-minute search, the search crew located the father and the daughter in the water, who had been swept a mile and a half from their abandoned boat.
24. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. They had nothing to do but play near the water.
B. They had a very pleasant time before the accident.
C. Steven was so absorbed in fishing that he didn’t look after his kids well.
D. Abigail released the handle on the boat to seek something new and exciting.
25. Why did Steven count on Chase to seek for help
A. His mental strength ran out. B. His swimming skill was poorer.
C. He had to try to save his daughter. D. He wanted to get Chase trained.
26. Which one may NOT be the reason for their safe return
A. Chase’s intelligence and flexibility towards different situations.
B. The rapid response and efficient work of relevant department.
C. Abigail and Steven’s optimism and never giving up the hope of living.
D. The kindness and warm heart of the room owners.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Steven
A. Devoted and calm B. Brave and generous. C. Strict and smart. D. Ambitious and honest.
C
Sharing a bed with a pet at night is a common feature of nighttime routines in the United States. According to a 2021—2022 survey,43 percent of pet dogs in the United States and 49 percent of pet cats sleep on their owner’s bed. When it comes to the perks of sharing your bed with your favourite furry friend, however, experts are divided.
First, it’s worth noting that the majority of research on the topic of co-sleeping with pets has focused on dogs rather than cats. Mark Fierstein, an internal medicine specialist at NYUL angone Health in New York City, suggests this is because cats may want to play or even purposely wake up their owner. Rabbits or hamsters are also out of the question.
A benefit of sleeping with pets is that the practice may prevent loneliness, Fierstein says. “Often, people who co-sleep with pets report an increased sense of security, companionship, and relaxation,” he notes. “For some people, the dog’s warmth, steady heartbeat, and protective nature can make sleeping with them feel safe and cozy.” This may be especially true of people who are managing trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder（PTSD）. Leslie Sinn, a psychologist, says according to a survey,60% of PTSD suffers feel calm down if they wake up to see the presence of the dog.
Some research suggests co-sleeping with pets may increase mid-night awakenings for people. “If the owner is a light sleeper, he or she may not do well with a dog or cat in the bedroom,” notes Fierstein. For example, he points out that a dog who snores loudly is not an ideal sleeping mate.
Dogs may also show aggressive behaviour—such as biting. Allowing pets in the bedroom can also expose owners to potential allergens, like pet hair, as well as viruses that cause disease.
28. Which word can replace the underlined word “perks” in the first paragraph
A. disadvantages B. numbers C. possibility D. bonus
29. According to the text, who might be the most suitable one to sleep with a dog
A. A newborn baby B. A survivor of an earthquake
C. An old man with a heart disease D. A young man suffering from lack of sleep
30. Which one is NOT the benefit to sleep with a pet
A. To relieve post-traumatic stress disorder B. To prevent loneliness
C. To get a sense of security D. To avoid potential allergens
31. What is the author’s attitude towards sleeping with pets
A. Objective B. Skeptical C. Ambiguous D. Approving
D
Now, a new trial finds antiviral medications, when given soon after a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes（糖尿病）, might help preserve those vital beta（β） cells.
Antiviral drugs could be “used alone, or as part of combination treatment, to rescue insulin（胰岛素）-producing beta cells at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes,” said a team that presented their findings at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, in Hamburg. So-called beta cells in the pancreas（胰腺） can generate insulin. But in some cases, an uncontrolled auto-immune response causes the body to attack its own beta cells, ruining a child’s capacity to produce insulin and cause type 1 diabetes. So people with type 1 diabetes rely on insulin injections to maintain healthy blood sugar levels the rest of their lives.
The researchers have been investigating the root causes of the autoimmune “malfunction” behind beta cell destruction for years, and they discovered that low-grade infections with common germs often occur in the pancreatic cells of people newly diagnosed with type l diabetes. So what if these people were given antivirals—in this case, pleconaril and ribavirin—to rid the pancreas of these infections
The new trial, led by Dr. Mynarek, sought to answer that question. The team followed96 children aged 6 to 15 who were all diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the study. The children were randomly selected to receive either the two antiviral medicines or a placebo （无效对照剂） for six months. Mynarek’s group tracked C-peptides levels in the blood, which “mirror the insulin production in the pancreas,” implying that the higher a child’s C-peptide levels on tests, the better their pancreas was producing insulin. According to their findings, while C-peptide levels dropped a full 24% in children who received the placebo, it fell by just 11% in those who got the antivirals. That suggests the treatment helped protect the child’s pancreatic beta cells from destruction.
The researchers concluded that “further studies should be done to evaluate whether antiviral treatment could delay the progression of beta-cell damage leading to clinical type l diabetes.”
32. What’s the function of beta cells
A. To attack the viruses. B. To produce insulin C. To cause diabetes D. To absorb drugs
33. How does the new drug work for diabetes
A. To kill the germs infecting our pancreas. B. To inject insulin to our body.
C. To help create more beta cells. D. To prevent common germs from attacks.
34. What does the trial find according to Mynarek’s group
A. There was no obvious difference between the two groups.
B. The kids given a placebo show a higher C-peptide levels than others.
C. The kids given antiviral medicines produce more insulin than others.
D. The kids taking a placebo produce more insulin than others.
35. Which is the best title of the text
A. The root cause of diabetes has been found. B. Beta cells could be preserved by insulin.
C. Autoimmune response could cause body diabetes. D. Antiviral medicines could help ease Typel diabetes.

What does this imply 38 Whenever this happens, you start blaming yourself, especially for the emotions that others are feeling. This is known as emotional reflection. You must learn to control this. 39
What should be your course of action here It might seem rude when I say this but you really need to hear it. You are not responsible for how others feel! 40 Al l in all, we must learn to be emotionally accountable and mature, doing so will result in a better and happier life.
A. Therfore embrace your emotions as a part of yourself. B. They are infectious unless you know how to control them. C. So, it’s a must for us to learn to control our feelings. D. You have conveyed your feelings in a very understandable manner. E. This goes sideways, others are also not accountable for how you feel. F.

It was the first day of our new grade. Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily, excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Sullivan, followed by an ordinary-looking boy, “This boy’s name is Rafael.” Ms. Sullivan announced. “He’s a transfer student（转校生）, and he’s going to be in our class starting from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly.” The class clapped. But I didn’t want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt.
“Oh, I forgot to mention one thing.” Ms Sullivan spoke up. “Rafael actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Rafael insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write it on a piece of paper.” This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar（嘈杂）. Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity. Ms Sullivan calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers ” “How can a disabled person be intelligent ” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom. It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Sullivan’s. “How about you, James ” She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today ”
It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed and nodded slightly. Ms. Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class.

Immediately, the class became excited. Soon, the first student began his tale on the platform. Inspired by his courage, everyone could hardly sit still and itched to share stories except Rafael. In fact, leaning forward, he was trying very hard to catch what the student was on about yet instead of sharing our laughter, there was only frustration flashing past in his eyes. I sighed and began writing. Seeing my notes, the expression on his face softened and then turned into a smile. At the same time, a wave of happiness s wept over me. After more exchanges, Ms. Sullivan gestured for Rafael to share. When he turned to me, I nodded, clenching my fists under the table.
Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform. Our eyes followed him like spotlights. After looking outside the windows as if collecting his thoughts, he broke the silence, “My family relocated here in the summer so I had spent my holidays packing and saying goodbyes, which was fun of course.” We chuckled. Before we could know it, we became fully immersed in his emotional journey. When he finished with “Like putting on the aids and hearing a new world, I’m so excited to join you and have a fresh start.”, there wasn’t thunderous applause but waves of paper rose high in the air, reading “Hi Rafael. Welcome to the family.”
