A
Growing up, I was often the first Jewish person my classmates had ever met. I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade—sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart.
Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I fretted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”.
The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.
1. What does the underlined word “fretted” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Noticed.
B. Disagreed.
C. Worried.
D. Expected.
2. What really annoyed the author during the local festival
A. Being a trick target.
B. Singing holiday songs.
C. Being culturally different.
D. Celebrating others’ festival.
3. Which of the following best states what Mom did at school
A. She protected her child from being hurt.
B. She encouraged cross-cultural understanding.
C. She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival.
D. She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed.
B
When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins.
Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make.
Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby.
This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies’ attention. “It’s important for a baby to know,’ Oh, Mum’s talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann.
This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.”
4. What do the underlined words “this mystery ”refer to in paragraph 2
A. Why dolphins live and play in groups.
B. How dolphins develop their unique sounds.
C. What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess.
D. Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans.
5. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins
A. By analyzing mother dolphins’ sound features.
B. By recording parent-child interaction frequency.
C. By measuring the distance between parent and child.
D. By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins.
6. What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young
A. To help them learn to talk. B. To teach them hunting skills.
C. To express worry and care. D. To distract their attention.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A. To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins.
B. To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence.
C. To share new findings about dolphin communication.
D. To highlight the value of studying dolphins’ language.
C
About a decade ago, Lawson was at a beach in Virginia watching his kids build castles right next to the waves.
“I kept trying to get them to come back because I thought it was a terrible idea,” he remarked. He wanted them to build their sandcastles closer to the dunes (沙丘). But they found it more exciting to build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destroyed, and then rebuilding them with whatever debris (残骸) washed up from the ocean. “It seemed so symbolic, somehow, of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book, the idea came to just use pictures. “It seemed like it would work beautifully without words,” he said.
A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated (加插图) by Qin Leng. It’s the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop. Leng’s illustrations stay pretty true to real life. The siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying hat. “To me it’s a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life. These are the things I like to capture (捕捉),” said Leng.
Leng spent part of her childhood in France, and she was inspired by European comic books. “What I love to do when I illustrate a picture book is add side stories to the main storyline. I always think about the readers and the longevity (持久) of the book, and I want them to be able to discover something new every time they revisit the book,” Leng explained.
At the end of the day, the sleepy-eyed kids pile into the bus that will take them home. “Those last pages are some of my favorite. They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the beach, when it’s getting dark and you feel completely exhausted,” Lawson said. It must be a universal childhood feeling: happy with sand, sticky from the salt, hot from the sun, and ready to fall asleep the moment you get into the car.
8. Why does Lawson mention the scene where the kids built sandcastles
A. To suggest a way to relax.
B. To explain how life works.
C. To show the inspiration for his book.
D. To remind readers of their childhood.
9. What can be learned about the two books mentioned
A. Their readers are limited to young kids.
B. Readers can only find pictures in them.
C. The stories in them are works of fantasy.
D. They carry no features of comic books.
10. How does Lawson feel when talking about the last pages in Paragraph 5
A. Surprised. B. Tired. C. Worried. D. Pleased.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Two Popular Picture Books B. The Simple Joys of Life
C. Childhood in Sandcastles D. An Experience at the Beach
D
Humans have been exploring the infinite abyss (深渊) beyond Earth’s atmosphere. When astronauts explore the vast expanse of outer space, they need to wear high-tech spacesuits to protect them from the freezing conditions of the universe.
Hollywood movies have idealized the iconic suit, its design leading the masses to believe it’s an outfit that can be slipped on within minutes. In fact, the spacesuit which is made up of nearly a half dozen different components and can have up to 16 layers is its own fully functioning spacecraft that takes hours to put on and requires help from one’s colleagues.
The astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA’s next program to send the first woman and the first person of color to the moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, called the exploration extravehicular mobility unit, also known as xEMU, according to NASA.
Each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank for the cooling garment and carbon dioxide removal system to regulate body temperature, remove excess heat and maintain the astronauts’ health, said Richard Rhodes, the deputy lead for xEMU pressure garment development at NASA. A two-way radio system is also included so the astronauts can communicate during the missions.
“When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon they couldn’t bend over and pick up a rock,” said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke. Fortunately, spacesuits have come a long way since then and have a more flexible structure with gloves. The gloves are one of the most complicated parts of the spacesuit, said Cathleen Lewis, curator of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. “Gloves are very difficult to design to be protective and also allow the manual dexterity (灵巧) that astronauts need to do meaningful work.” she noted.
The spacesuits will also be getting some upgrades for the latest lunar mission. Richard Rhodes’s team is working on the spacesuit that will allow for more movement to explore the rough terrain of the moon while still being strong enough to protect the wearer.
12. What can we learn about the spacesuit in Hollywood movies
A It provides the most ideal design. B. It functions as a spacecraft of its own.
C. It can be put on without too much difficulty. D. It can protect the astronauts from the cold in space.
13. In what aspect does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about the latest spacesuit
A. Its operating methods. B. Its component parts.
C. Its existing problems. D. Its initial aims.
14. Why are the Apollo astronauts mentioned in the passage
A. To contrast the Apollo spacesuit with the latest one.
B. To give an example of a successful space mission.
C. To demonstrate the failure of the Apollo missions.
D. To criticize the incompetence of the Apollo astronauts.
15. Which of the following best describes NASA’s spacesuit for the next lunar mission
A. High-tech but impractical. B. Portable and mobile.
C. Costly but well-received. D. Flexible and protective.

【答案】 Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to contribute a video that I believe captures the essence of “A Walk in Guangzhou” and would be a valuable addition to your upcoming English program. Enclosed, please find my video titled “Exploring Guangzhou's Rich Culture and Vibrant Life."”My video showcases various scenes from Guangzhou, starting at the iconic Canton Tower, where I capture the breathtaking skyline and the lively atmosphere around it. Moving on, I visit the ancient Chen Clan Academy, where I explore its intricate wood carvings and traditional architecture, highlighting the city’s rich cultural heritage. The video then takes viewers to the bustling Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, filled with local vendors selling everything from delicious street food to traditional handicrafts, offering a glimpse into the daily life and energy of Guangzhou. The reason behind my choice of these locations is to provide a comprehensive view of Guangzhou as a city that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. From the towering skyscrapers to the historic sites, my video aims to convey the dynamic spirit of Guangzhou, showcasing both its rapid development and its commitment to preserving its cultural roots.
Thank you for considering my submission. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Li Hua
