(A)
I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave.
On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulf of Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes.
That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate (撤离) ahead of the storm.
In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.”
It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away.
When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky—we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks.
The author moved to Asheville, N.C. to __________.
A. get closer to the Gulf of Mexico
B. find a new job in South Carolina
C. live near the French Broad River
D. flee California’s drought and wildfire

A. The family realized the pleasure of playing with LEGOs.
B. The family decided to stay in the house despite the danger.
C. The family felt alarmed at the sight of the tree crashing down.
D. The family became more at ease about the situation at that time.
What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Timely access to information is important during a disaster.
B. The treatment plant is supposed to be built deep underwater.
C. People must depend on neighbors for survival in a disaster.
D. Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community.
What is the best title of the passage
A. Consequences of a hurricane
B. Measures against the disaster
C. A new beginning in Asheville
D. An account of a climate refugee

In sociology, consumption is about so much more than just taking in or using up resources. Humans consume to survive, of course, but in today’s world, we also consume to entertain and amuse ourselves, and as a way to share time and experiences with others. We consume not only material goods but also services, experiences, information, and cultural products. Consumption today is a central organizing principle of social life.
Sociologists recognize that many aspects of our daily lives are structured by consumption. In fact, Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman wrote in the book Consuming Life that Western societies are no longer organized around the act of production, but instead, around consumption. This transition began in the United States in the mid-twentieth century, after which most production jobs were moved overseas, and our economy shifted to retail and the provision of services and information.
As a consequence, most of us spend our days consuming rather than producing goods. On any given day, one might travel to work by car; work in an office that requires electricity, gas, oil, water, paper, and a host of consumer electronics and digital goods; purchase a tea, coffee, or soda; go out to a restaurant; pick up dry cleaning; purchase health and hygiene products at a drug store; use purchased groceries to prepare dinner, and then spend the evening watching television, enjoying social media, or reading a book. Who can break free from it
Consumption has taken on great importance in the relationships we develop with others. We often organize visits with others around the act of consuming, whether that be sitting down to eat a home-cooked meal as a family, or meeting friends for a shopping excursion at the mall. In addition, we often use consumer goods to express our feelings for others through the practice of gift-giving.
Sociologists also see consumption as an important part of the process of forming and expressing both individual and group identities. In Subculture: The Meaning of Style, sociologist Dick Hebdige observed that identity is often expressed through fashion choices. This happens because we choose consumer goods that we feel say something about who we are. Our consumer choices are often meant to reflect our values and lifestyle, and in doing so, send visual signals to others about the kind of person we are.
So, from the sociological perspective, there’s much more to consumption than meets the eye. In fact, there’s so much to study about consumption that there’s a whole subfield dedicated to it: the sociology of consumption.
What was the change in the United States in the mid-twentieth century
A. A shift to local production. B. A growth of overseas consumption.
C. A focus on retail and services. D. A decline in the value of consumption.
The author presents a person’s daily life in paragraph 3 in order to __________.
A. encourage people to spend more time working than consuming
B. show the variety of consumer products available on the market
C. suggest that producing goods is no longer part of modern life
D. highlight the constant presence of consumption in people’s life.
What can be inferred about consumption in paragraph 4 and 5
A. It discourages gift-giving B. It conveys individuality
C. It defines culture. D. It sets the fashion trends.
What is the main idea of the passage
A. The divided opinions on consumption.
B. The effects of consumerism on people’s life
C. The philosophy of consumption in social life.
D. The balance between consumption and production.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Three days later, they saw an interesting chain of events. And he selectively treated his wound and not any other body parts. Rakus may have observed his mother demonstrating how to treat wounds. Laumer and colleagues do not know how or where this behavior originated. The findings may provide insights into the evolution of this behavior among humans. It’s the first report of suspected wound treatment by a wild animal using a plant with known medicinal properties.
Orangutan treats his wound with a medicinal plant
In a new paper, researchers describe how a male orangutan (红毛猩猩) chewed the leaves of a plant used in traditional medicine and applied them to a wound on his cheek. (47)____________________
In June 2022, the researchers observed a male Sumatran orangutan, known as Rakus, with a fresh wound on his cheek. (48)____________________ He chewed the leaves of a plant and then applied the resulting juices directly onto his facial wound. He repeated this behavior for seven minutes and then, as a last step, fully covered the wound with the chewed leaves. He then continued feeding on the plant for 30 minutes. Over the following days, there were no signs of infection. The wound closed within five days.
“What is interesting is that this behavior seems to be intentional and goal-oriented.” says study lead author Isabelle Laumer, a cognitive biologist in Germany. “He precisely applied the plant matter to his wound several times over a prolonged period. (49)____________________”
Self-medication has been documented in multiple wild primate (灵长类) species, but not applying them to recent wounds. There is only one other study of active wound treatment by great apes. Several years ago, researchers reported one population of chimpanzees in Gabon, applied flying insects to their own wounds. However, the researchers could not identify the insects or make any conclusions about the effectiveness of the treatment.
(50)____________________ Perhaps he accidentally touched a wound while feeding on a plant and experienced its analgesic (镇痛的) effects, causing him to repeat the behavior. It is also possible that Rakus previously learned the behavior from other orangutans, since young orangutans rely on social learning to acquire the skills necessary for adult life.
Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Why can’t adults talk normally to babies
In scientific literature, baby talk is called “parentese”, and is a unique way of communicating with babies. It often involves using repetitive and exaggerated sounds, such as “cooing” and “goo-goo,” along with using diminutive words like “baby,” “binky,” or “blankie.” Adults also tend to speak more slowly and emphasize key words or phrases when engaging in baby talk.
What’s the point of using such a ridiculous style of talking with babies Why not just talk to a baby with normal speech, like we’d talk to another adult, or even a 5-year-old child Primarily, we use baby talk to capture the baby’s attention. The dramatic vocalizations and facial expressions serve to engage the child’s focus by being distinct from all the other noise and visual stimuli around the baby. Remember, the brain of a newborn baby is still developing and needs different cues to engage and learn something. Baby talk also helps to establish an emotional connection between the adult and the baby. The gentle tone conveys affection, love, and care. As a result, in a way, it reassures the child by giving him a sense of security.
Interestingly, there was a study where researchers tested 2,329 babies from 16 countries on their preference for this lively vocalization. Babies clearly prefer it when we “ooh” and “coo”. The study also revealed that babies from almost all cultures have an inborn love for baby talk. Baby talk tells the infants, “Hey! This speech is only for you, since you’re special,” and who doesn’t love that It melts their sweet little hearts and warms ours.
To support your baby’s development, try using baby talk regularly. Use a playful tone, make eye contact, and emphasize key words. These simple actions strengthen bonds and work a lot for their development.
