One weekend last summer, I paid a visit to the Sahara Desert with my boyfriend David. Before we went to the Sahara Desert, we had heard about the sandstorms there. But we didn’t believe we would be so unlucky to experience one.
We were in a jeep with our guide when someone who was traveling with us said a sandstorm was coming. But the guide shook his head, saying we shouldn’t worry. He took us straight to the place where we would take a camel ride.
We were watching sunrise after the camel ride when the sandstorm came. The winds roared through the valleys between dunes, lifting the sand until it was impossible to breathe.
David found me in the sand. Then he began taking off his long scarf around his neck and face, wanting to put it around my face instead. But I rejected it. Instead, I managed to put on a travel jacket that I had put in my backpack and pulled the hood around my face. David held me and we walked in the sand. All I wanted was to get back to our camp and out of the storm.
Unfortunately, getting back to the camp meant facing the storm. Both David and I climbed on our camels. Sand hit every part of my body. With eyes shut tight, I was blind, unable to control the camel. When we finally stopped, David helped me to get off the camel and led me to the side of a long black tent, where he rolled out a blanket and helped me to sit. We saw our guide near us. “I thought you guys were going to kill me,” he said. “There were signs, if I had paid attention. The driver asked me twice about doing the ride tomorrow morning instead of tonight, but everyone was so excited about riding camels that I didn’t want to see all of you feel upset.”
Most of us laughed it off. A few even took a pleasure in the experience. Though I suffered a lot, I didn’t regret my trip there. How many people can say they’ve ridden a camel through a sandstorm in the Sahara Desert
4. What happened to the author and her boyfriend

Many kinds of birds migrate (迁徙) every year, raising a family in one place during the warm summer months before flying to a warmer place to spend the cold winter months. In the northern half of the world, many birds fly north in the summer and south in the winter, looking for food and better conditions.
Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built. Experts say that as many as one billion birds may die every year in the US alone as a result of flying into buildings. Other tall structures, such as power lines and cell towers, also lead to many bird deaths.
Buildings are a special challenge for migrating birds. The windows can reflect things like the sky or trees, causing birds to fly directly into the glass. And many birds migrate at night. As a result, the difficulty in migrating is amplified at night. That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.
Philadelphia got a sad reminder of that last October when thousands of migrating birds were killed in one night. Over 1,000 birds were believed to have died in just one small area. Scientists still aren’t sure what made that night so bad, but it may have been connected with the low clouds over the city at the time.
Now the city begins a program called Lights Out Philly. Twice a year (from April 1 to May 31. and from August 15 to November 15), many of the city’s buildings go dark at night. The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning. So far, many of the city’s best-known and tallest buildings have taken part in the program.
8. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the migration of birds
A. It takes place once a year.
B. It can affect human activities.
C. It can be hard and dangerous.
D. It is caused by human actions sometimes.
9. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Increased. B. Reduced.
C. Handled. D. Replaced.
10 What does the program run by Bird Safe Philly ask people to do
A. Stop hunting birds. B. Go out less at night.
C. Build homes for birds in cities. D. Tum off lights during the required time.
11. Why is Lights Out Philly started
A. To protect the environment.
B. To educate the public on birds.
C. To cut the cost of electricity.
D. To help birds pass Philadelphia safely.
D
Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two parts related to rewards (奖赏) when they were being watched by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers influence the way young people gather and apply information. It included 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are suggesting that we should take advantage of the teens’ strong sensitivity (敏感性) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
12. What does the author want to say by mentioning Steinberg’s study
A. Parents’ worries are reasonable. B. Teens drive more carelessly with peers.
C. Adults are better drivers than teens. D. Peer pressure only brings harm.
13. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
14. How does risk-taking influence teens in the latest study
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
15. What does Blakemore think of involving peers in learning
A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Risky. D. Challenging.

Many kinds of birds migrate (迁徙) every year, raising a family in one place during the warm summer months before flying to a warmer place to spend the cold winter months. In the northern half of the world, many birds fly north in the summer and south in the winter, looking for food and better conditions.
Many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. But one of the biggest threats to migrating birds comes from things humans have built. Experts say that as many as one billion birds may die every year in the US alone as a result of flying into buildings. Other tall structures, such as power lines and cell towers, also lead to many bird deaths.
Buildings are a special challenge for migrating birds. The windows can reflect things like the sky or trees, causing birds to fly directly into the glass. And many birds migrate at night. As a result, the difficulty in migrating is amplified at night. That is because the bright city lights can confuse birds that are normally guided by the stars.
Philadelphia got a sad reminder of that last October when thousands of migrating birds were killed in one night. Over 1,000 birds were believed to have died in just one small area. Scientists still aren’t sure what made that night so bad, but it may have been connected with the low clouds over the city at the time.
Now the city begins a program called Lights Out Philly. Twice a year (from April 1 to May 31. and from August 15 to November 15), many of the city’s buildings go dark at night. The program, run by Bird Safe Philly, asks building owners and people who live in the area to keep the lights off between midnight and 6 in the morning. So far, many of the city’s best-known and tallest buildings have taken part in the program.
8. What does paragraph 2 tell us about the migration of birds
A. It takes place once a year.
B. It can affect human activities.
C. It can be hard and dangerous.
D. It is caused by human actions sometimes.
9. What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Increased. B. Reduced.
C. Handled. D. Replaced.
10 What does the program run by Bird Safe Philly ask people to do
A. Stop hunting birds. B. Go out less at night.
C. Build homes for birds in cities. D. Tum off lights during the required time.
11. Why is Lights Out Philly started
A. To protect the environment.
B. To educate the public on birds.
C. To cut the cost of electricity.
D. To help birds pass Philadelphia safely.

Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.
In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two parts related to rewards (奖赏) when they were being watched by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences.
But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers influence the way young people gather and apply information. It included 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.
Now some experts are suggesting that we should take advantage of the teens’ strong sensitivity (敏感性) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.
12. What does the author want to say by mentioning Steinberg’s study
A. Parents’ worries are reasonable. B. Teens drive more carelessly with peers.
C. Adults are better drivers than teens. D. Peer pressure only brings harm.
13. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior
A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction.
C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience.
14. How does risk-taking influence teens in the latest study
A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question.
C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better.
15. What does Blakemore think of involving peers in learning
A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Risky. D. Challenging.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A

【答案】Dear Mr. Jim,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to share my thoughts about the recent decline in participation at the English Corner. As an active member, I feel that many students have lost interest due to a lack of interesting activities.
To improve the situation, I suggest organizing more events such as games, debates, and movie nights. These activities would make learning English more enjoyable and encourage students to take part. Additionally, inviting guest speakers or organizing cultural exchange events could also inspire more students to join.
Thank you for your attention!
Yours,
Li Hua
