Three years ago, Sather Gowdy, a student at Gonzaga University, went through a break- up. Then two of his close friends passed away. So Sather withdrew, avoiding going out.
Everything changed one day as Sather was returning home from class. An elderly woman, standing by her open trunk full of groceries, asked him to help her. He helped her get them inside. “Walking home, I realized my heart feeling lighter for the first time in weeks,” Sather says. He made a decision not to close himself off, but perform kindness every day for his community.
Sather starts small. He once noticed his neighbor’s fence was damaged and wanted to fix it, but he didn’t know how. “Lack of knowledge didn’t stop me!” he says. “I learned online, bought a hammer and some nails, and repaired it.” As the movement has grown, so have Sather’s responsibilities. He dedicates several hours each day to finding ways to serve others— cleaning up the community or assisting elderly neighbors with yard work and other tasks.
“Serving others isn’t always fun,” Sather says. “It’s hard work to remain committed to spreading kindness through serving others. But even on the toughest days, seeing the smiles on my neighbors’ faces makes it worthwhile.”
“Think of something that everyone complains about and then go do it,” Sather recommends. An alley near his house, for example, was constantly filled with trash. Neighbors talked about how much they hated it, yet no one did anything about it. Sather spent several hours daily for two weeks cleaning it.
“When I was done, I saw increased joy and pride in our neighborhood,” Sather says. Seven months later, the alley is still clean. Sather often sees neighbors checking on it, picking up lingering garbage or cutting back weeds. “Start small. You’ll be amazed at your impact,” says Sather.
24. What pulled Sather out of the state of being separate
A. The positive impact of the class on him. B. The elderly lady’s practical suggestions.
C. The timely kindness from the community. D. The sense of achievement from being helpful.
25. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. How Sather felt about his behaviour. B. How Sather helps the community.
C. Why Sather finds ways to serve others. D. What Sather needed to fix his neighbor’s fence.
26. What can we learn from Sather’s story
A. Doing good starts with ourselves. B. Work together to help the elderly.
C. Being proud helps to serve others. D. Help others to make them stronger.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. His search for the simplest joy B. His pursuit of the community’s happiness
C. He healed his pain with acts of kindness D. He changed the community with his efforts
C
A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence (汇集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world’s rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous,” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other,” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
28. What may be the main cause of the rain shift
A. The rainforests. B. Carbon emissions.
C. The Earth's equator. D. Economic growth.
29. How does Antony feel about the rain shift
A. Confused. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
30. Which word can best describe the study
A. Comprehensive. B. Widespread. C. Fruitful. D. Historic.
31. What can be inferred from the text
A. The rain shift is unrelated to human activities.
B. The rain shift threatens equatorial agriculture.
C. The study’s computer models were not precise enough.
D. The impact of the rain shift will be limited to remote areas.
D
Engineer Kerstin G pfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. G pfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany.
Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.
And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab
Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.”
Biologists like Rawson and G pfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.
To build them researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. G pfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones.
Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect.
32. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines.
C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines.
33. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering.
C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important.
34. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5
A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition.
C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly express
A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house.
C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology.

【原文】W: Hello, Tom. This is Amy here. I’d like to share with you some of my problems and get them resolved. I’m having some trouble with chemistry this year. The teacher thinks we’re so smart that we ought to have no trouble learning it. But I find the textbook confusing and then I get discouraged. Well, some of my friends and I gathered together and formed a study group. This learning strategy seems to work OK most of the time. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will forget his notes or he won’t have read the book in advance. I guess they are going to have a hard time on the final exam. And also I’m trying to learn the new computer program at school. It’s pretty hard. Most of the other kids have already picked it up, but I haven’t. I borrow the book and take it home to read, but it doesn’t seem to help. There is simply too much information for me to remember. I’m not sure exactly what to do next. Could you give me some advice on how to learn computer program

Three years ago, Sather Gowdy, a student at Gonzaga University, went through a break- up. Then two of his close friends passed away. So Sather withdrew, avoiding going out.
Everything changed one day as Sather was returning home from class. An elderly woman, standing by her open trunk full of groceries, asked him to help her. He helped her get them inside. “Walking home, I realized my heart feeling lighter for the first time in weeks,” Sather says. He made a decision not to close himself off, but perform kindness every day for his community.
Sather starts small. He once noticed his neighbor’s fence was damaged and wanted to fix it, but he didn’t know how. “Lack of knowledge didn’t stop me!” he says. “I learned online, bought a hammer and some nails, and repaired it.” As the movement has grown, so have Sather’s responsibilities. He dedicates several hours each day to finding ways to serve others— cleaning up the community or assisting elderly neighbors with yard work and other tasks.
“Serving others isn’t always fun,” Sather says. “It’s hard work to remain committed to spreading kindness through serving others. But even on the toughest days, seeing the smiles on my neighbors’ faces makes it worthwhile.”
“Think of something that everyone complains about and then go do it,” Sather recommends. An alley near his house, for example, was constantly filled with trash. Neighbors talked about how much they hated it, yet no one did anything about it. Sather spent several hours daily for two weeks cleaning it.
“When I was done, I saw increased joy and pride in our neighborhood,” Sather says. Seven months later, the alley is still clean. Sather often sees neighbors checking on it, picking up lingering garbage or cutting back weeds. “Start small. You’ll be amazed at your impact,” says Sather.
24. What pulled Sather out of the state of being separate
A. The positive impact of the class on him. B. The elderly lady’s practical suggestions.
C. The timely kindness from the community. D. The sense of achievement from being helpful.
25. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. How Sather felt about his behaviour. B. How Sather helps the community.
C. Why Sather finds ways to serve others. D. What Sather needed to fix his neighbor’s fence.
26. What can we learn from Sather’s story
A. Doing good starts with ourselves. B. Work together to help the elderly.
C. Being proud helps to serve others. D. Help others to make them stronger.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. His search for the simplest joy B. His pursuit of the community’s happiness
C. He healed his pain with acts of kindness D. He changed the community with his efforts
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C
C
A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence (汇集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world’s rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous,” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other,” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
28. What may be the main cause of the rain shift
A. The rainforests. B. Carbon emissions.
C. The Earth's equator. D. Economic growth.
29. How does Antony feel about the rain shift
A. Confused. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
30. Which word can best describe the study
A. Comprehensive. B. Widespread. C. Fruitful. D. Historic.
31. What can be inferred from the text
A. The rain shift is unrelated to human activities.
B. The rain shift threatens equatorial agriculture.
C. The study’s computer models were not precise enough.
D. The impact of the rain shift will be limited to remote areas.

D
Engineer Kerstin G pfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. G pfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany.
Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.
And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab
Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.”
Biologists like Rawson and G pfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.
To build them researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. G pfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones.
Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect.
32. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines.
C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines.
33. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering.
C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important.
34. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5
A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition.
C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly express
A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house.
C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. D

For many young athletes like him in Whitehorse, Yukon, the Yukon Cross-Country Ski Championships were more than just a competition. It was their dream. A year ago, Johnny qualified for the Championships and successfully won a medal.
After the competition, Johnny was eager to share his experience with Hayden, his teammate and best friend. Hayden had narrowly missed qualifying for the Championships. Johnny had watched his friend train tirelessly, push himself to the limit, and always keep his big smile. Johnny knew how much the Championships meant to Hayden.
Johnny handed Hayden some colorful pins. “These are pins I traded with athletes from all over Yukon,” Johnny said with a smile, “I want you to have them, so you can feel a part of the event too.”
Hayden was touched, “Thanks, Johnny. This means a lot.”
“Next time,” Johnny continued, “I hope you can also experience the event. I know you’ll make it.”
Hayden nodded, “I’ll work even harder for that.”
This year’s Yukon Cross-Country Ski Championships would be held in a month. Coach Nick guided the team through daily tough training and the team made significant progress in their skating, cornering, and downhill techniques.
