Most people can't wait for spring to arrive. It means flowers and warmer weather, all of which welcome changes from the dark winter days. Now we know that spring is arriving sooner in the Northern Hemisphere（北半球） than it was in the past, thanks to a study published in Scientific Reports.
For example, Los Angeles may experience spring only a day earlier than it did 10 years ago, but further north, in Seattle or Chicago, spring will arrive four days earlier. If you lived in the Arctic（北极）, spring could arrive 16 days earlier than it used to.
To determine how springtime is starting earlier, researchers looked at temperature records and 743 earlier studies over 86 years. These studies were about various biological indicators of spring, including birds migrating, plants flowering and amphibians （两栖动物） sounding their mating calls. Researchers then studied these data to see if they were occurring earlier. The result showed that not only is spring making itself known sooner but it's warmer, too.
Before you go out in a happy springtime hike, spring arriving sooner isn't so good. The livelihood of migratory birds, for instance, may be concerned.
"The food that birds rely on when they move to the north might not be reliable if the beginning of spring at these higher latitudes（纬度） is expanded by future warming," said Eric Post. He is a fellow of the John Muir Institute and a polar ecologist.
Animals relying on Arctic sea ice, like polar bears, probably aren't crazy about things warming up sooner, either, because it impacts on their ability to hunt. Spring's early arrival could cause disorder in the delicate balance of various ecosystems, not to mention how soon you'll need to buy allergy medicine.
24. We learn from the study published in Scientific Reports that ______.
A. spring comes earliest in Los Angeles.
B. Los Angeles is further north than Seattle.
C. spring comes 12 days earlier in the Arctic than in Chicago.
D. the further north a place lies, the sooner spring comes than before.
25. Researchers made the discovery mainly by ______.
A. comparing related data available.
B. conducting research and test.
C. calculating the exact length of each spring.
D. observing animal's behavior all year round.
26. What do the last two paragraphs focus on
A. Concerns over spring's early arrival.
B. Springtime emergence of creatures.
C. Early springtime's impacts on humans.
D. Disorder in the balance of ecosystems.
27. In which section of a magazine can we read this text
A. Medical Report. B. Survival Stories.
C. Scientific Discoveries. D. Natural Environment.

While considering comfortable places to hibernate（冬眠） in winter, a 6- year -old black bear picked out a storm culvert（涵洞） near Wannaska, Minnesota. Unfortunately for the bear, this decision didn't turn out well.
In late February, the snow around him started melting, causing the culvert to flood and then freeze again. The poor fellow was trapped in snow and ice for three days before some kind humans noticed him and called authorities for help.
By the time experts arrived, people had already tried digging the bear out and luring him with a variety of unhealthy (for bears) treats. Luckily, the bear wasn't interested in food because he was still in hibernation mode.
A wildlife research biologist Andrew Tri arrived on the scene to assess the situation. "He tried to push himself out but got stuck in the place and tired," the biologist explained. The team injected the bear with an anesthetic（麻醉剂）. Once he was asleep, it took five strong men to pull the bear, estimated to weigh between 375 and 400 pounds, out of the culvert. Andrew gave him a full check-up and determined he was in great physical shape, even though he was still a bit sleepy!
The crew pulled him out and transported him to the Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area in Marshall County to finish out the winter. "He's in the back of a pickup truck now, and we'll make him a new den（窝点）," said Andrew. "He probably won't stay, but at least it will give him some protection from the elements after that."
"If you're ever concerned about a bear's safety, by all means give us a call," the experts advised. "But don't try to move it or feed it! Doing so can result in a bad situation (either for you or for the bear)." We're glad this bear got the help he needed.
28. Why was the black bear in trouble
A. He hasn't eaten anything for many days.
B. He chose the wrong place to hibernate.
C. He was in bad condition.
D. His feet were caught by a trap.
29. What does the underlined word "luring" mean in paragraph 3
A. exchanging. B. improving. C. attracting. D. beating.
30. What do we know about the black bear after he was pulled out of the culvert
A. He was very excited. B. He was very angry.
C. He ate many foods. D. He was still a bit sleepy.
31. Which of the following statements would the experts agree with
A. Don't try to move a hibernating bear by yourself.
B. Bears can be very dangerous when they are sleeping.
C. Bears always attack people when people are alone.
D. Let the trapped bears continue to sleep, and do nothing.
D
When I first picked up Michelle Zauner's memoir（自传） "Crying in H Mart", I was attracted by the familiar name of the local Korean market 10 minutes away from my house. Looking through its pages was no different from looking through an old photo album （相册）, reminding me of my old memories. And I wanted to look at each and every photo, up close.
Despite being a struggling artist making up for lost time with a sick mother, Zauner somehow made her unique experiences relatable to her audience. One of the factors that helped make this possible was food. Every food and every aspect of Korean culture she described seemed so familiar to me, as I'm a Korean American. Not only this, we have similar experiences, and have common feelings of being torn apart by two cultures that seem to refuse to accept us just for being who we are. Zauner shone a new light on my attitude to my own identity.
In other ways, this relatability to such a specific target audience can become a weakness. This memoir was obviously meant for a Korean, specifically a Korean American audience. With such a small audience of 0.6% of the United States population in 2019, the story that Zauner wanted to tell would not be received by many.
An avoidable point of the me moir that caused confusion could have been the organization of the timeline. Looking at the book as a whole, there was no specific order in which Zauner organized the events of her life. The most effective way to do this would have been to progress through the book starting with her earliest memories with her mother and ending with her moments of grieving（悲痛）.
I felt thankful that I was able to discover such a novel that made me feel understood for the first time in years. And most of all, I felt inspired that there are people like Zauner who make mistakes but try again. Even when the world tells them it's too late, they try again Even when they feel lost, they try again and find a way. And there was one thing I was sure of after I read the book: I will try again.
32. Which factor of the book attracted the author
A. Korean audience. B. Korean families.
C. American culture. D. Similar experience.
33. Which aspect of the book is discussed in paragraph 3
A. Its small readership. B. Its difficult languages.
C. Its weak market in Korea. D. Its sales in America in 2019.
34. What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 4
A. To point out one limitation of the book.
B. To describe Zauner's life in order of time.
C. To explain why he falls in love with the book.
D. To introduce an effective way to write a memoir.
35. What did the author learn from reading "Crying in H Mart"
A. To be thankful. B. To stay positive.
C. To understand others. D. To avoid making mistakes.

Urban Wildlife
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number c species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
Cities are built for humans. 36 For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
37 When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. 38 Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. 39
If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors to the wildlife around ;. 40 Our own future will be endangered too.
A. They are built to protect birds.
B. Our actions sometimes help other species.
C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
E. Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.
F. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
G. They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.

My father's T-shirt
As a teenager, I am not mature enough. I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. I had quarrels with my friends, and I was not polite to elders. Because of my bad behavior, I was sometimes punished by my father. However, it took me a long time to learn to control my temper and take the responsibility to make up for my mistakes.
I still remember it was an early autumn. Some leaves started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father's T-shirt instead of mine. At that time, I was getting to have a larger size than my father, so when I put on the T-shirt, I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! Soon, I realized that it was a small mistake which was made by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. I could feel my anger growing, bubbling up inside myself. I shouted at her, "Why did you give me the wrong T-shirt " My mother said sorry with a smile, but I continued to shout at her without thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly, making a hole in it and threw it on the floor. Then I put on my own T-shirt and rushed out of the house before my mother could stop me.
At that time, I didn't consider how my mother was feeling. I just thought about myself. So after school, when I got home, I felt so regretful but I didn't say a word to my mom. Feeling so frustrated, my mother shared her bad feeling with my father who was just after work from office, "See what your son has done." I was so scared that maybe my father would punish me. But unexpectedly, instead of saying he would scold or beat me, my father quietly asked my mother to mend the T-shirt.
注意：

Seeing my father's response, I felt more ashamed-of my bad behavior. ________________________________
