Li Jing, 29, currently serves as the director assistant to the village secretary of Maotianping Village Committee in Cuijiaba, a town in Hubei province. Li is a native of this village and was one of the first from her community to achieve higher education. She studied hotel management and tourism. After graduation, she started a career in the hotel industry in Wuhan. However, she made a decision last year to return to her village. She wants to be an essential part of her hometown’s development, realizing her own personal value.
When Li returned to her hometown, she received unconditional support from her family, despite some villagers’ questioning her decision. She resolved to prove herself through determination and action.
Her job involves extensive communication with the villagers, with over half of her workload about promoting potato production, the main business of the village. Li and the villagers regularly hold meetings in the village square, where they share insights on potato planting techniques, sales channels, market trends, and more. These gatherings provide her with opportunities to equip the villagers with planting tools and offer a window for them to voice their concerns and experiences.
In her spare time, Li remains closely connected with the villagers through regular conversations. She admits that it demands a considerable investment of time and energy, but it’s all worthwhile.
Li has very fond memories of an incident from last year when one villager had a poor potato crop. Although her potatoes were unimpressive in terms of size and quality, she held faith in Li and worked tirelessly and enthusiastically. Li never forgets the smiles on the villagers’ faces at harvest time, which is the ultimate reward for her.
In the near future, Li hopes to continue helping her fellow villagers raise their potato production and increase their income. Her long-term vision is to promote urban-rural integration (整合).
24. Why did Li Jing come back to her hometown
A. She desired a stable career. B. She intended to live her dream.
C. She had a family to take care of. D. She failed to start her own business.
25. What is Li Jing mainly responsible for in the village
A. Improving potato harvests.
B. Selling potatoes at the market.
C. Arranging daily square gatherings.
D. Teaching villagers to express themselves.
26. What do we know from the incident
A. Li Jing should focus on quality control. B. Li Jing has won the villagers’ trust.
C. It’s tough to make good communication. D. It’s easy to meet the villagers’ needs.
27. Which of the following can be the best title
A. East or West, Home Is Best B. No Pain, No Gain
C. From the Village, for the Village D. Graduates, Welcome Home
C
The traditional handwritten “thank you” letter is no longer the most popular way to express gratitude, with digital methods such as instant messages and emails favored instead, according to a recent research.
A survey of 2,000 adults finds just 9 percent send a letter of thanks nowadays—a decline of 11 percent in the past ten years—while messages via WhatsApp, SMS text, email and Facebook, have become some of the most common ways to show appreciation.
Despite this, handwritten notes of gratitude are in fact considered to be among the top most meaningful ways to say thank you—close behind heartfelt phone calls and visiting someone to show appreciation in person. Further highlighting the influence of the personal touch, the M&S Club Rewards research finds hand-delivering flowers or treating someone to a coffee are also among the truest ways to show thanks.
The research also finds 58 percent think it is more essential than ever to say thank you to loved ones, with 28 percent admitting the last couple of years have helped them appreciate the little things. And 29 percent think it’s really necessary to show others just how much they mean to them so they realize how loved they are.
However, in our digital age—and with all these new and simple ways to communicate and show our gratitude—saying a quick thank-you via instant message has become the habit for many. But if you really want to share a meaningful thank-you, giving someone your time or adding an element of a personal or more human touch will go a long way and have a much bigger impact.
Paul Stokes, from M&S Club Rewards, says: “Our research shows that while the art of saying thank you may have changed over the years, the significance of showing our appreciation has never been higher.”
Over the last few years, we have had to come together and support each other perhaps more than ever, so it’s great to see so many of us are taking the time to share a thank-you.
28. What was the percentage of traditional letters of thanks a decade ago
A. 20%. B. 11%. C. 9%. D. 2%.
29. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3
A. The change in contents. B. The similarity in surveys.
C. The advantage of thank-you letters. D. The popularity of digital methods.
30. How can we make modern communication more meaningful
A. By sending more instant messages. B. By saying more thanks to the beloved.
C. By bringing in more personal touches. D. By delivering each other more gratitude.
31. What does Paul Stokes want to tell us most
A. Their research is a great breakthrough.
B. The influence of art is beyond expectation.
C. There are many ways to express our appreciation.
D. Showing our thanks is more important than ever before.
D
Humans have sailed the oceans’ surfaces for millennia, but their depths remain effectively uncharted. Only about a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped at high performance. Maps of most regions display only approximate depths and often miss entire underwater mountains or valleys.
So a group of researchers has selected some deep-diving experts: Elephant Seals and Weddell Seals. Scientists have been placing trackers (跟踪装置) on these marine mammals around Antarctica for years, gathering data on ocean temperature and salinity. For a new study, the researchers compared these divers’ location and depth data with some of the less detailed seafloor maps. They spotted places where the seals (海豹) dove deeper than should have been possible according to the maps—meaning the existing depth estimates were inaccurate.
In eastern Antarctica’s Vincennes Bay, the diving seals helped the scientists find a large, hidden underwater valley. An Australian research ship called the RSV Nuyina later measured the valley’s exact depth using sonar (声呐). “The seals discovered the valley, and the ship confirmed it,” says Clive McMahon, a researcher at the Integrated Marine Observing System in Australia and a co-author of the new study.
But seals can’t map the entire ocean floor. The trackers used in the study could mark a seal’s geographical location only within about 1.5 miles, which allows for useful but not exactly high-resolution data. Plus, because the seals don’t always dive to the bottom of the ocean, they can show only where the bottom is deeper than in existing maps—not shallower. McMahon notes that scientists could improve on these data by means of more precise GPS trackers and analyzing the seals’ diving patterns to determine whether they have reached the seafloor or simply stopped going down.
The current seal-dive data can still be valuable for an important task, says Anna Wahlin, an oceanographer at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. The deep ocean around Antarctica is warmer than the icy waters at the surface, and seafloor valleys can allow that warmer water to flow to the ice along the continent’s coast, Wahlin explains. To predict how Antarctica’s ice will melt, scientists will need to know where those valleys are and how deep they go.
32. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Humans are at the mercy of the oceans. B. The oceans are too vast to describe.
C. Humans have taken charge of the oceans. D. The oceans call for further exploration.
33. In what way have scientists carried forward their research
A. By equipping the seals with advanced devices.
B. By following the seals to the deeper seafloor.
C. By using sonar to measure the sea directly.
D. By checking the previous seafloor maps.
34. What does McMahon suggest scientists do for further research
A. Train the seals’ diving ability. B. Update the existing ocean map.
C. Turn to more exact GPS trackers. D. Seek cooperation opportunities.
35. What does Anna Wahlin think of the research with seals
A. It’s greatly creative. B. It’s a little incredible.
C. It’s highly significant. D. It’s a little impractical.

From canned tomatoes to frozen pizzas, processed foods have become a regular part of our diet. We’ve gained time and energy as a result of processed foods. 36 Here are the reasons why we should avoid processed foods.
37 A 2018 study found that ultra-processed (超加工的) foods are linked to an increased risk of cancer. The American Cancer Society reports that at least 18% of cancers are related to excess (过量的) body weight, physician activity, and poor nutrition, which could potentially be prevented by avoiding processed foods.
Processed foods are designed to make you overeat. 38 It has also been found that some processed foods can lead to greater brain activity, which can affect eating behavior.
Processed foods often contain artificial ingredients. If you’re looking at the label on a box of your favorite junk food, there are probably a bunch of ingredients that you can barely pronounce.
39 These ingredients may have a negative effect on your health.
Many processed foods are high in carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and low in nutrients and fiber. Not all carbohydrates are bad, but processed foods are often packed with refined carbohydrates. They can cause your blood sugar to increase very quickly. On top of that, processed foods are typically much lower in nutrients and the fiber is often removed. 40
Processed foods may raise your health risk.
Some processed foods aren’t bad for you at all.
All processed foods are loaded with added sugar and fat.
At the same time, we have also gained a host of health issues.
In fact, your body just needs the two substances to digest food properly.
In this case, there are man-made colors, flavors, and additives in your food.
Studies show the “reward system” in our brain can allow us to consume more.

Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, a senior 3 student. Recently I have a terrible conflict with my parents. I really feel annoyed so I am
writing to ask for your help.
Here’s the way it took place. Last week, there was a comprehensive exam to check our academic achievement in Senior 3. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a good performance. When my parents saw my sharp decline in grades, they owed it to my playing computer games at weekends. I feel completely innocent and helpless. Actually, I just spend an hour on the game to relax myself every weekend.
I guess the root of my problem is that I have been under great pressure, but I don’t know how to explain it to my parents. Could you please give me some suggestions on how to communicate with my parents I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

W: How are you and your brother so tall while your dad is of average height
M: We take after our grandfather, I guess. Height runs in my mother’s family. But if you really want to see tall, wait until you meet our cousin, Luke!
Text 2
M: Kim, we can’t go through security yet! Our bags are far too big to bring onto the airplane.
W: You’re right. Because our bags contain a set of golf clubs, we must bring our things to the oversized baggage checking area.
Text 3
M: I can’t believe that our little girl is turning 18 next month.
W: I know. She wants a computer for her birthday, but I have told her she’s not getting one in three years.
Text 4
M: Hi, Ruby. Are you still writing your first book
W: Not today. Actually, I’m trying to draw inspiration from a novel. What about you
M: I’m starting a literary club. Do you want to join
Text 5
M: My sister Sarah has had her baby! My dad phoned this morning.
W: Oh, wow…that’s amazing! A boy or a girl
M: A little boy. I burst into tears when I got the news. I can’t believe it! There’s no doubt that she’ll be a brilliant mom.
Text 6
M: When you judge others, you first judge yourself. So, it’s essential to accept both yourself and others.
W: Great thought, Dad. Where did you learn that
M: It was a life lesson I learned as a young boy. I used to have arguments with friends in school, just like you’re having now. But, having real power requires supporting the value and success of yourself and others.
W: Yeah, we’re always trying to prove we’re better. This prevents us from supporting each other. I owe my friend an apology—I must call her now.
M: Great idea, dear. I’ll help your mother with dinner. Please tell us when you’re finished.
Text 7
M: Excuse me, ma’am. I’m a bit confused about my upcoming flight. Could you help me
W: Of course, sir. How may I assist you
M: Well, I have a 3:30 p.m. flight to Los Angeles. But it looks as though it’s delayed.
W: You’re right, sir. Sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, there aren’t any earlier flights available at the moment.
M: I don’t mind the delay. My issue is my connecting flight. After this New York to Los Angeles flight, I must board a flight to Shanghai.
W: I see. How long is your layover (中转停留) in Los Angeles
M: Only two hours.
W: That might be an issue for your next flight. But don’t worry, we won’t have to cancel any flights. I’ll talk to the director now. He’ll rearrange a flight to Shanghai for you for free.
M: Perfect. Thank you, ma’am.

M: Who is the most famous person you have ever met
W: I met Kylie once.
M: Really Where
W: On the street. She had just done an interview at the local radio station and then her car broke down so she walked to her hotel. I was standing outside the hotel waiting for a client.
M: That’s pretty cool. What did she say
W: She saw I had a Jason T-shirt on so she stopped to chat because the two of them used to be in that TV show together. She said my shirt was funny.
M: Oh yeah, the Australian soap. What was it called Home and Away
W: No, that was the other one. Theirs was called Neighbors.
M: That’s right. It took place on Ramsey Street. Lots of famous people were in that show.
W: Yeah. So, who’s the most famous person you’ve met
M: I met J. K. Rowling at a book signing a few years ago.
W: Really I love her. I have all of her books.

W: Hey, I was thinking maybe we should spend some weekends doing volunteer work to help the environment.
M: That’s an interesting idea. It will make a change from hiking or cycling every weekend. What brought this on
W: Well, it was a beautiful Saturday morning, and I just read about the increasing pollution in our city. It really worried me. I thought maybe we could give back to nature a bit more.
M: You’re right. It’s concerning how much damage we are causing to the environment and we owe a duty to leave a healthy planet to future generations. What kind of volunteer work are you thinking of
W: There’s a local group cleaning up the nearby park this afternoon, starting at 1:00 p.m. It’s just a few hours of our time. I think we should join in. Let’s try to make a difference.
M: Let’s see. It’s almost 11:00 a.m. now. We have some time before that. Let’s do it. Maybe we should go to our homes and change our clothes.
W: Great idea. It’ll be a chance for us to do something meaningful together. I’m really looking forward to it.
M: Yeah, me too. You never know, maybe we can inspire other people to do something useful for the environment.

M: Thank you for joining our wellness workshop. I’m Richard Simmons. Before we begin, I want to share some advice. Staying active is essential for a healthy lifestyle, but it’s important to avoid common workout mistakes. The first error is the lack of variety in exercising. Engaging in the same routine can lead to no progress. To prevent this, I suggest changing your workout plans bimonthly. Do diverse activities like yoga to improve flexibility, weightlifting to build strength, or Pilates (普拉提) to enhance core stability. Variety not only prevents boredom but also improves your overall fitness. It can help to develop different muscle groups.
Another common error is overtraining. It’s important to understand that rest is just as crucial for muscle recovery and growth as the workout itself. I recommend aiming for two intense sessions per week. On the days you’re not pushing yourself hard, consider engaging in lighter activity, such as fast walking or leisurely cycling. This approach balances physical effort with recovery. Nonetheless, it’s advisable to have at least one day of complete rest weekly to allow your body to fully recover. Remember, wellness is a marathon; listen to your body and adjust your activities accordingly.
