A
The Ragged School Museum
In a nutshell
In 1877 Dr Thomas Barnardo opened the Copperfield Road Free School，the largest of three ragged schools(charitable institutions that offered the poorest children a free education) in a row of three storehouses in East London.Now an underfunded，independent museum(opened in 1990)，a small exhibition offers an insight into how tough life was in east London in the late 1800s，but the highlight is one of the original classrooms where visitors can attend a lesson led by an actor in Victorian costume.The museum is in the second phase of applying for a lottery grant(福利彩票资助)，which will allow it to make vital repairs to the largest of the three storehouses，though the aim is to keep the authentic(真正的) atmosphere of the building.
Getting there
Easiest by car.The train station is a 30-minute walk away and trains are infrequent.A limited bus service from Liskeard drops you 20 minutes away.Parking is free right outside the gates.
Opening hours
10am—6pm Monday—Saturday.Last entry：5：30pm.Outside these times the museum runs a schools programme，with 16,000 school children coming through the doors each year.
Value for money
A little pricey，but the ticket is valid for a year.Entry is ￡18 adult，￡ 13 child，family tickets ￡37.60 (1＋3 children) or ￡49.60 (2＋3)．
Verdict(评价)
8/10.Lots of ideas，interactive activities and friendly，knowledgeable staff.This is an authentic slice of East End history that strives(努力) to inspire children through its work.
21．What does the Ragged School Museum offer to visitors
A．An option to keep its buildings in shape.
B．A platform to raise money for its major repair.
C．An insight into the British theatre in the 1800s.
D．A chance to step back in time for a Victorian lesson.
22．How much would a couple with their three children pay for admission
A．￡37.60. B．￡49.60.
C．￡57. D．￡75.
23．What do we know about the Ragged School Museum
A．It charges parking fees.
B．It is only accessible by car.
C．It is beneficial to children.
D．It has varied opening hours.

Michael and his wife had recently moved into a new apartment building in San Francisco when they met a neighbor who is an Indian priest(牧师)．
The priest，Jeff Dunan,77，told Michael about an organization he volunteers for，which provides food，clothing and essential supplies to poor people in northern Bangladesh.The man decided to donate to the GoFundMe campaign，and settled on$150.“I thought it was a good cause，and a neighborly thing to do，” he said.
Shortly after making his donation on the GoFundMe campaign that day in February 2022，though，Michael received information from his credit card company，warning him of a suspiciously(可疑地) large business.He opened the text message，which warned him of a $15,041 charge from GoFundMe.When he saw the five-figure number，he couldn’t believe it.
Soon，it all made sense.Michael’s credit card number started with four and one.Clearly，he said，he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor(光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael called GoFundMe’s support line in a panic and explained the mistaken donation.To his relief，he was told he would be refunded for the mistake within three to seven business days.
Still，there was a major complication：The $15,000 donation—which more than doubled the total amount raised at the time—would remain on the GoFundMe page until the refund was processed.
“I was like，oh no，that’s a problem，” Michael recalled.Before he explained to Dunan，he started receiving messages online from Shohag Chandra，the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager，thanking him for his substantial donation.
“The man had sent me a video of himself from Bangladesh，surrounded by dozens of hungry people holding bags of food，thanking me BY NAME.” After Michael watched it，his heart sank.He felt terrible that he had to revoke(撤销) his donation，and he wanted to offer more.Once his original contribution was refunded，he donated $1,500.
24．Why did Michael donate to the GoFundMe campaign
A．To please his new neighbor.
B．To earn a fine reputation.
C．To contribute to charity.
D．To fit in with the community.
25．How did Michael feel when he saw the amount charged on his credit card
A．Shocked. B．Excited.
C．Proud. D．Depressed.
26．What was the outcome of Michael’s call to GoFundMe’s support line
A．He received a thank-you message.
B．He was promised to get his money back.
C．He was informed of a suspicious charge.
D．He got additional funds from the charity.
27．What happened in the end
A．People laughed at Michael’s mistake.
B．The poor Bangladeshis were disappointed.
C．Michael donated to another charity organization.
D．Michael donated more than his first intended amount.
C
A new study in which researchers explore the human capacity for cooperation finds that people rely on each other for help.
The study shows that when people signal a need for assistance，their small requests don’t go unanswered.Across cultures，people follow these small requests far more often than they decline them.On the rare occasions when people do decline，they explain why.These human tendencies suggest that，deep down，people from all cultures have many similar cooperative behaviors.
The new findings help solve a puzzle generated by prior research which has emphasized variation in rules and standards governing cooperation.For example，in Kenya，wealthier Orma villagers are expected to pay for public goods such as road projects.But Gnau villagers of Papua New Guinea，on the other hand，would reject such an offer because it creates an awkward moral duty to repay.
“Cultural differences like this have created a puzzle for understanding cooperation and helping among humans，” said Rossi，a chief researcher.“Are our decisions about sharing and helping shaped by the culture we grew up with？Or are humans generous and giving by nature？”
To answer those questions，the researchers analyzed over 40 hours’ video recordings of everyday life involving 350 people in geographically and culturally diverse sites.The analysis focused on the order in which one person sent a signal for help and another person responded.The situations involved “low-cost” decisions about sharing items for everyday use.Such decisions are more frequent than “high-cost” decisions like contributing to a village road’s construction，the types of decisions considered to be significantly influenced by culture.
People followed small requests seven times more often than they declined.They helped without explanation，but when they declined,74% of the time they gave a specific reason.
“A cross-cultural preference for following small requests is not predicted by prior research on resource-sharing and cooperation，which instead suggests that culture should cause helping behavior to vary in appreciable ways due to local values and adaptations to the natural，technological，and socio-economic environment，” said Rossi.“These factors could in principle make it easier for people to say ‘no’ to small requests，but this is not what we find.”
28．Which of the following is included in “These human tendencies” underlined in paragraph 2
A．To ask for assistance.
B．To aid others on request.
C．To return the previous favor.
D．To turn down an offer of help.
29．Why does the author mention “Orma villagers” and “Gnau villagers” in paragraph 3
A．To indicate humans are born generous.
B．To evaluate varied interpersonal bonds.
C．To show cultural differences on helping.
D．To reveal the origin of non-cooperation.
30．Based on the study，what will someone probably say to decline a request for help
A．It’s my pleasure.
B．I’d love to，but it depends.
C．I’m afraid not.Wait till others come.
D．Sorry，but I’m to attend an urgent meeting.
31．What do we know about the prior research mentioned in the last paragraph
A．It involved no environmental factors.
B．It stressed the value of following requests.
C．It failed to prove the universal willingness to help.
D．It produced an outcome consistent with the new study.
D
A miniature，shape-shifting robot can melt itself and reform，allowing it to complete tasks in hard-to-access places and even escape cages.It could eventually be used as a hands-free soldering(焊接) machine or a tool for taking out swallowed items.
Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University and his colleagues created a millimeter-sized robot that can not only shape-shift，but also become stronger or weaker by alternating(交替) between being a liquid and a solid.When solid，the material was strong enough to support an object 30 times its own mass.To make it soften or melt as needed for different tasks，the researchers put it near magnets(磁体)，whose magnetic fields applied forces on the tiny magnetic pieces in the robot，moving them and changing the shape of surrounding metal in different directions.They also used a stronger field to pull the particles upwards，making the robot jump.
When Majidi and his colleagues used an alternating magnetic field，electrons in the robot’s liquid metal formed electric currents.The coursing of these currents through the robot’s body heated it up and eventually made it melt.Using this flexibility，the team made two robots carry and solder a small light bulb onto a circuit board.When they reached their target，the robots simply melted over the light bulb’s edges to solder it to the board.Electricity could then run through their liquid metal bodies and light the bulb.
Finally，they shaped the robot like a Lego minifigure，then helped it escape from a cage by melting it and making it flow out between the bars.
The robots could be used for emergency fixes in situations where human or traditional robotic hands become impractical，says Li Zhang at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.For example，a liquefied robot might replace a lost part on a spacecraft by flowing into its place and then solidifying，he says.
32．What can cause the millimeter-sized robot to shape-shift
A．Its material. B．The electrons.
C．Magnetic fields. D．Electric currents.
33．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The cause of the robots’ lighting a bulb.
B．The process of the tiny robots’ completing a task.
C．The effort of researchers’ inventing the robots.
D．The way of electric currents’ being formed.
34．What can we expect of the robot in the future
A．It may accomplish emergency fixes.
B．It will help control a spacecraft.
C．It might support heavy objects.
D．It can replace a Lego minifigure.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Technology Makes Anything Possible
B．Carmel Majidi Invents His Flexible Robot
C．Experiments of Tiny Robots Are Completed
D．Tiny Metal Robot Can Melt Its Way to Escape

Be a True Runner
For me，it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track.Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day.Not me.I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete.I knew this by the time I was twelve，because my camp counselors(辅导员) and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got.So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake，I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners，my body tensed as I heard a counselor call，“Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race！” It was Barry.He spotted me under the tree.“Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile！”
He gave me a push towards the starting line.Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched，I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake！”
“You’re in.Just follow Bill！” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp.And then Barry said，“When you make it to the last stretch(最后一程) on the field，just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line，I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark...Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off.I stayed close on Bill’s heels，a little too close for Bill，I guess.He shouted at me，“Back off！”
I did.Two guys passed me，but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring.The distance was widening between Bill and me.We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy，wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field.Through the trees，I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall.A runner from another camp passed him.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
In a moment，Bill was up again and running.
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line.

W：Wow！According to this newspaper article，a foot-long tooth was found on a beach in Australia.Scientists think it’s from a huge whale that existed five million years ago.The tooth is about twice the size of a whale’s tooth today，and longer than many dinosaur teeth.
M：That’s incredible.Where is it now
W：The man who discovered it brought it to a museum.Before，the remains of these huge whales had only been uncovered in Peru，Chile，and the USA，and they dated back to around twelve to thirteen million years ago.This tooth is the first one of its kind to be found outside of the Americas，and the animal lived much more recently.I’d love to go to see it.
M：Who was the guy that found it
W：Just some guy who had gone to the beach.He knew the tooth was something important.
M：Wow.Imagine finding something like that.I’m not sure I’d even know what it was.
W：Scientists calculated that the whale it belonged to was about 60 feet long and weighed 88,000 pounds.

The Ragged School Museum
In a nutshell
In 1877 Dr Thomas Barnardo opened the Copperfield Road Free School，the largest of three ragged schools(charitable institutions that offered the poorest children a free education) in a row of three storehouses in East London.Now an underfunded，independent museum(opened in 1990)，a small exhibition offers an insight into how tough life was in east London in the late 1800s，but the highlight is one of the original classrooms where visitors can attend a lesson led by an actor in Victorian costume.The museum is in the second phase of applying for a lottery grant(福利彩票资助)，which will allow it to make vital repairs to the largest of the three storehouses，though the aim is to keep the authentic(真正的) atmosphere of the building.
Getting there
Easiest by car.The train station is a 30-minute walk away and trains are infrequent.A limited bus service from Liskeard drops you 20 minutes away.Parking is free right outside the gates.
Opening hours
10am—6pm Monday—Saturday.Last entry：5：30pm.Outside these times the museum runs a schools programme，with 16,000 school children coming through the doors each year.
Value for money
A little pricey，but the ticket is valid for a year.Entry is ￡18 adult，￡ 13 child，family tickets ￡37.60 (1＋3 children) or ￡49.60 (2＋3)．
Verdict(评价)
8/10.Lots of ideas，interactive activities and friendly，knowledgeable staff.This is an authentic slice of East End history that strives(努力) to inspire children through its work.

Michael and his wife had recently moved into a new apartment building in San Francisco when they met a neighbor who is an Indian priest(牧师)．
The priest，Jeff Dunan,77，told Michael about an organization he volunteers for，which provides food，clothing and essential supplies to poor people in northern Bangladesh.The man decided to donate to the GoFundMe campaign，and settled on$150.“I thought it was a good cause，and a neighborly thing to do，” he said.
Shortly after making his donation on the GoFundMe campaign that day in February 2022，though，Michael received information from his credit card company，warning him of a suspiciously(可疑地) large business.He opened the text message，which warned him of a $15,041 charge from GoFundMe.When he saw the five-figure number，he couldn’t believe it.
Soon，it all made sense.Michael’s credit card number started with four and one.Clearly，he said，he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor(光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael called GoFundMe’s support line in a panic and explained the mistaken donation.To his relief，he was told he would be refunded for the mistake within three to seven business days.
Still，there was a major complication：The $15,000 donation—which more than doubled the total amount raised at the time—would remain on the GoFundMe page until the refund was processed.
“I was like，oh no，that’s a problem，” Michael recalled.Before he explained to Dunan，he started receiving messages online from Shohag Chandra，the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager，thanking him for his substantial donation.
“The man had sent me a video of himself from Bangladesh，surrounded by dozens of hungry people holding bags of food，thanking me BY NAME.” After Michael watched it，his heart sank.He felt terrible that he had to revoke(撤销) his donation，and he wanted to offer more.Once his original contribution was refunded，he donated $1,500.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Michael在向一家慈善机构捐款时，因为不小心在输入信用卡信息时出现了错误，导致他意外地向慈善机构捐赠了15 041美元。虽然后来他成功地撤销了捐款并收到了退款，但他仍然为此感到内疚。最终，他选择为这家慈善机构捐赠了1 500美元。
24．Why did Michael donate to the GoFundMe campaign
A．To please his new neighbor.
B．To earn a fine reputation.
C．To contribute to charity.
D．To fit in with the community.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Michael通过牧师知道了一个慈善组织，该组织为孟加拉北部的贫困人口提供食品、衣服和必备品。他认为这是一个好的事业，决定向其捐赠150美元。因此，他捐钱是为了给慈善事业作贡献。故选C。
25．How did Michael feel when he saw the amount charged on his credit card

C
A new study in which researchers explore the human capacity for cooperation finds that people rely on each other for help.
The study shows that when people signal a need for assistance，their small requests don’t go unanswered.Across cultures，people follow these small requests far more often than they decline them.On the rare occasions when people do decline，they explain why.These human tendencies suggest that，deep down，people from all cultures have many similar cooperative behaviors.
The new findings help solve a puzzle generated by prior research which has emphasized variation in rules and standards governing cooperation.For example，in Kenya，wealthier Orma villagers are expected to pay for public goods such as road projects.But Gnau villagers of Papua New Guinea，on the other hand，would reject such an offer because it creates an awkward moral duty to repay.
“Cultural differences like this have created a puzzle for understanding cooperation and helping among humans，” said Rossi，a chief researcher.“Are our decisions about sharing and helping shaped by the culture we grew up with？Or are humans generous and giving by nature？”
To answer those questions，the researchers analyzed over 40 hours’ video recordings of everyday life involving 350 people in geographically and culturally diverse sites.The analysis focused on the order in which one person sent a signal for help and another person responded.The situations involved “low-cost” decisions about sharing items for everyday use.Such decisions are more frequent than “high-cost” decisions like contributing to a village road’s construction，the types of decisions considered to be significantly influenced by culture.
People followed small requests seven times more often than they declined.They helped without explanation，but when they declined,74% of the time they gave a specific reason.
“A cross-cultural preference for following small requests is not predicted by prior research on resource-sharing and cooperation，which instead suggests that culture should cause helping behavior to vary in appreciable ways due to local values and adaptations to the natural，technological，and socio-economic environment，” said Rossi.“These factors could in principle make it easier for people to say ‘no’ to small requests，but this is not what we find.”
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现，人们通常愿意提供给他人帮助，但是否提供帮助也受到了不同地区的文化的影响。
28．Which of the following is included in “These human tendencies” underlined in paragraph 2
A．To ask for assistance.
B．To aid others on request.
C．To return the previous favor.
D．To turn down an offer of help.
答案　B
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“Across cultures，people follow these small requests far more often than they decline them.”可知，当人们接收到其他人的求助时，通常会提供帮助，这是人类的倾向性行为，由此可知，“These human tendencies”包含了应要求帮助他人。故选B项。
29．Why does the author mention “Orma villagers” and “Gnau villagers” in paragraph 3
A．To indicate humans are born generous.
B．To evaluate varied interpersonal bonds.
C．To show cultural differences on helping.
D．To reveal the origin of non-cooperation.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段内容和第四段关键句“‘Cultural differences like this have created a puzzle for understanding cooperation and helping among humans，’said Rossi，a chief researcher.”可知，“奥尔马村民”和“格瑙村民”对待帮助他人有不同的态度，这是文化差异造成的，由此可知，作者在第三段中提到“奥尔马村民”和“格瑙村民”是为了展示在帮助方面的文化差异。故选C项。
30．Based on the study，what will someone probably say to decline a request for help
A．It’s my pleasure.
B．I’d love to，but it depends.
C．I’m afraid not.Wait till others come.
D．Sorry，but I’m to attend an urgent meeting.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“They helped without explanation，but when they declined,74% of the time they gave a specific reason.”可知，当人们拒绝提供帮助时，74%的情况下会给出具体的原因，结合选项可知，D项“对不起，我要参加一个紧急会议”符合上述结论。故选D项。
31．What do we know about the prior research mentioned in the last paragraph
A．It involved no environmental factors.
B．It stressed the value of following requests.
C．It failed to prove the universal willingness to help.
D．It produced an outcome consistent with the new study.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“‘A cross-cultural preference for following small requests is not predicted by prior research on resource-sharing and cooperation，which instead suggests that culture should cause helping behavior to vary in appreciable ways due to local values and adaptations to the natural，technological，and socio-economic environment，’ said Rossi.”可知，先前的研究没有考虑到跨文化对提供帮助产生的影响，由此可知，先前的研究没有考虑到环境因素。故选A项。
D
A miniature，shape-shifting robot can melt itself and reform，allowing it to complete tasks in hard-to-access places and even escape cages.It could eventually be used as a hands-free soldering(焊接) machine or a tool for taking out swallowed items.
Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University and his colleagues created a millimeter-sized robot that can not only shape-shift，but also become stronger or weaker by alternating(交替) between being a liquid and a solid.When solid，the material was strong enough to support an object 30 times its own mass.To make it soften or melt as needed for different tasks，the researchers put it near magnets(磁体)，whose magnetic fields applied forces on the tiny magnetic pieces in the robot，moving them and changing the shape of surrounding metal in different directions.They also used a stronger field to pull the particles upwards，making the robot jump.
When Majidi and his colleagues used an alternating magnetic field，electrons in the robot’s liquid metal formed electric currents.The coursing of these currents through the robot’s body heated it up and eventually made it melt.Using this flexibility，the team made two robots carry and solder a small light bulb onto a circuit board.When they reached their target，the robots simply melted over the light bulb’s edges to solder it to the board.Electricity could then run through their liquid metal bodies and light the bulb.
Finally，they shaped the robot like a Lego minifigure，then helped it escape from a cage by melting it and making it flow out between the bars.
The robots could be used for emergency fixes in situations where human or traditional robotic hands become impractical，says Li Zhang at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.For example，a liquefied robot might replace a lost part on a spacecraft by flowing into its place and then solidifying，he says.

In recent years，it has been noticed that the number of people watching short videos is significantly increasing.
The main reason behind the popularity of short videos is that people don’t have enough time to watch long ones because they’re so busy with their work and study.Besides，short videos contain information which is easy to understand.However，the accuracy of the information can’t be guaranteed and if people are absorbed in thousands of short videos they will waste much time.
From my point of view，watching short videos can be efficient but we should set a time limit.Moreover，we must be cautious about the content due to its occasional inaccuracy.

Be a True Runner
For me，it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track.Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day.Not me.I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete.I knew this by the time I was twelve，because my camp counselors(辅导员) and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got.So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake，I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners，my body tensed as I heard a counselor call，“Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race！” It was Barry.He spotted me under the tree.“Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile！”
He gave me a push towards the starting line.Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched，I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake！”
“You’re in.Just follow Bill！” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp.And then Barry said，“When you make it to the last stretch(最后一程) on the field，just throw your head back and run.”
At the starting line，I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark...Get set...” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off.I stayed close on Bill’s heels，a little too close for Bill，I guess.He shouted at me，“Back off！”
I did.Two guys passed me，but I kept my eyes on Bill.
It was tiring.The distance was widening between Bill and me.We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy，wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field.Through the trees，I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall.A runner from another camp passed him.

In a moment，Bill was up again and running.I couldn’t think of anything but to follow him closely.I could even feel the air hitting my face and I was totally worn out.Naturally，my pace slowed down.Just at the moment，Barry’s words “Just follow Bill” called me back.Convinced that I was no longer a loser，I refreshed up again and accelerated and soon I was quite close to Bill again.Injected with confidence，I headed for the finishing line.The gun cracked again，announcing the last 200 meters.I closed my eyes，threw my head back and ran with my last ounce of strength，in the direction of the dream line.
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line.I still kept running on when a thunderous applause burst，which signaled the birth of the champion.I stopped and opened my eyes and saw my camp of kids and the camp counselor gathering around me.“We have won the race! We are the champion！” they shouted and cheered，throwing me in the air.Showered with hugs and applause and whistles，I felt a surge of gaiety sweeping over me.To me，the race meant more than a champion; it well proved that I was not a loser as an athlete and that I could further explore my potential.Just as Hemingway put it，“The true nobility is superior to your former self.”
