Kristin Kimball, a travel writer, drove from New York studio to Pennsylvania to write
about a young sustainable farmer she’d heard of. When she arrived at the farm, the farmer said
he was too busy to be interviewed, even though they had previously scheduled it.
“Instead,” Kimball remembers, “he handed me a garden tool and said, ‘There’s the
vegetable land.’ That was the first time that I actually did any farm work, and yet when I
started doing the work, I was shocked at how viscerally I responded.”
“And something happened that day. I just fell in love with the work.” she adds. “I think
that human beings are in some way born to be farmers. This is what most people in the history
of the world have focused their energy on.”
In a way, Kristin Kimball was lucky. When she decided to move to a farm in upstate New
York, she had no idea what she was getting into. Seven years after her life-changing move from
Manhattan to Essex Farm, Kimball has documented her adjustment to rural living in her new
book, The Dirty Life. The title of her book, Kimball says, comes from the fact that farm work is
consistently dirty. “I had no idea you could be dirty in so many different ways,” she says.
4
“There’s dirt. There’s blood. There’s sweat. There’s your own sweat, and the sweat of the
animals.”
In spite of the constant hard work, Kimball’s farm still has its quiet, romantic moments.
The first year she planted potatoes, the yield was enormous — around 10,000 pounds. Friends
were called to help. “It was truly fall,” Kimball writes:
The air was still cold at noon despite the bright sun. We boiled potatoes in their skins in
the field, and served them steaming in napkins. We all warmed our chilled fingers on them,
popped them open, invested them with quantities of butter and salt. If there is a more perfect
way to celebrate the potato’s earthy, sustaining essence (本质), I have not discovered it yet.
24. What does the underlined word “viscerally” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Naturally. B. Patiently. C. Passively. D. Hesitantly.
25. Which of the following can best describe Kimball’s path to farming
A. Well-planned. B. Interest-based. C. Unexpectedly-taken. D. Curiosity-driven.
26. Why did Kimball write the book
A. To share the joy of harvest.
B. To promote the benefits of farming.
C. To record her adaptation to country life.
D. To introduce the farming skills she learned.
27. What does Kimball intend to express in the last paragraph
A. The happiness in cooking potatoes.
B. The satisfaction gained from farm life.
C. The significance of teamwork in farming.
D. The challenges of farming in cold weather.

Over 2, 000 years ago, Baiae was the most magnificent resort town in Italy. Wealthy
statesmen including Cicero and Caesar were once drawn to its natural springs. But over the
centuries, volcanic activity submerged this playground of the Roman nobles — leaving half of
it beneath the Mediterranean.
Today, Baiae is one of the world’s few underwater archaeological parks open to visitors
wanting to explore the remains of the ancient Roman city. A protected marine area, the site
needs to be monitored for damage caused by divers and environmental factors. However,
explains Davidde, Italy’s national supervisor for underwater cultural heritage, “communication
underwater is challenging.”
5
Cabled systems are the most reliable, but they are difficult to maintain and cover a limited
operational area. And wireless internet doesn’t work well in water, because of the way water
interacts with electromagnetic waves.
So Davidde teamed up with a group of engineers led by Chiara Petrioli, a professor at
Sapienza University. Petrioli’s team has developed a network of underwater wireless sensors
capable of gathering environmental data and transmitting it to land in real time. The system
relies on AI algorithm (算法 ) to constantly change the network protocol (网络协议 ). As the
sea conditions change, the algorithms adjust the information path, allowing the signal to travel
up to two kilometers and data to be sent between transmitters one kilometer apart.
At Baiae, underwater internet allows remote, continuous monitoring of environmental
conditions. Besides, it allows divers to communicate with one another and with colleagues
above the surface, who can also use the technology to locate them with a high degree of
accuracy.
Davidde anticipates that the network will be available to tourists visiting the
archaeological site in the coming months. As they swim over the ruins, visitors will use
waterproof smart tablets to communicate and to view 3D reconstructions of the ruins.
“Underwater internet has made monitoring of the archaeological site simpler and more
efficient,” says Davidde. “At the same time, we can offer the public a new, interactive way to
explore the underwater park.”
28. What do we know about Baiae
A. It was noted for natural springs. B. It is a playground for sports lovers.
C. It was destroyed by human activity. D. It is unattractive to adventurous visitors.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Cabled systems are easy to keep in good condition.
B. Wireless network functions poorly underwater.
C. Electromagnetic waves improve wireless signals.
D. Unlimited coverage is the strength of cabled systems.
30. What is the underwater network capable of doing
A. Allowing divers to locate themselves.
B. Marking the information path to the surface.
C. Bringing new life into submerged Roman ruins.
D. Making it easier to monitor archaeological sites.
31. What is the purpose of this text
6
A. To explain underwater communication. B. To analyze the effect of climate change.
C. To introduce a new underwater network. D. To promote a new way to explore Baiae.
D
Constant city noise is hard to keep out of homes and businesses, as low-frequency sounds
like traffic and constructions easily spread through walls. Expensive, specialized paneling can
help, but a new study in the Journal of Applied Physics shows how everyday materials and
clever physics can also do the trick, creating a kind of sound insulator (隔音材料 ) from
ping-pong balls.
Robine Sabat, a researcher at the University of Lille in France, has been trying to improve
noise insulation by studying how sound waves bounce around in cavities (腔 ). When a sound
wave passes over a cavity, the wave squeezes and releases the air inside. This makes the air
vibrate at a particular frequency depending on the cavity’s size, shape and any holes it might
have. And if the cavities are constructed in just the right way, the bouncing sound waves inside
will cancel one another out.
Sabat chose ping-pong balls as a low cost option with geometric properties that create
resonance (共振) in the right low-frequency range. By drilling five holes in each ball, her team
turned them into resonant cavities that each filter one frequency band out of the surrounding
noise. But combining the resonating balls to weaken large ranges of sound is tricky because the
sound waves interact and affect which frequencies get reduced. To find the right arrangement,
the researchers placed microphones inside two balls and adjusted the holes’ positions and sizes
until the combination captured multiple frequency bands. They added and adjusted more balls
until the structure absorbed a wide range of frequencies.
“The design gives excellent sound reduction”, says Olga Umnova, a researcher at the
University of Salford. She adds that a systematic real-world comparison with simpler options,
such as glass sheets separated by an air gap, would be an important next puter
simulations have estimated that the ping-pong paneling improves sound reduction by 30
percent compared with an air gap alone.
Sabat’s team hopes low-tech adjustments to the new technique could also help with other
aims, such as focusing sound waves to improve sound quality in concert halls.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The source of noise pollution.
B. The design of sound insulator.
C. The process of sound wave transmission.
7
D. The principle of sound reduction in cavities.
33. What is critical for achieving multi-frequency bands absorption
A. The number of the balls used. B. The placement of microphones.
C. The location and dimension of holes. D. The material properties of glass sheets.
34. What is Olga Umnova’s attitude to the ping-pong ball-based insulator
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Neutral. D. Dismissive.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Ping-pong Balls: New Sound Blocker
B. Hole-Bouncing Sound: A Clever Trick
C. Geometric Resonance: The Key to Silence
D. Sound Waves: Their Mysterious Interactions

The hot sun beating down on your skin, sweat trickling into your eyes — anyone who
has played a sport in the middle of summer knows it’s not easy. 36 Even so, some
people think adding heat is a good way to get a better workout — like in hot yoga or hot
Pilates, which are done in rooms as hot as 38 degrees Celsius. But are high-temperature
workouts really better
The answer isn’t as simple as a yes or no. 37 There may be some benefits of
exercising in high temperatures. It is believed that these workouts warm the muscles, which can
help you avoid injuries. Heated workouts may also help you burn more calories. This is
because they make your heart work a bit harder. But before you turn the heat up, it’s not all
good news. For one thing, your body might not be able to work as hard in high heat as it can in
cooler temperatures, meaning your workout won’t be as good as you might like.
Beyond reduced performance, the risks to physical health are more worrying. There are
also health risks related to exercising in high temperatures. Because the body sweats more, it’s
easy to get dehydrated (脱水). 38 In that case, you may feel tightening and discomfort
in your muscles or stomach.
The biggest risk of exercising in heat is heatstroke (中暑). 39 It is a dangerous
state of extreme overheating which happens when your body gets too hot and its temperature
goes over degrees Celsius. This situation of high body temperature, like heatstroke, can cause
serious damage to different parts of your body, like your brain, heart, liver and kidneys and in
8
extreme cases, even death.
40 If you do want to try heated exercise, there are ways to make it safer.
Drinking lots of water helps stop you from getting dehydrated. And try to wear light clothes
and take breaks when you need to!
A. This is the most severe consequence of overheating during exercise.
B. In fact, the effects of high-temperature exercise are double-edged.
C. However, these benefits come with significant drawbacks to consider.
D. Even a short time in the sun can leave you feeling exhausted and dizzy.
E. Sweating also means losing important salts.
F. Despite the potential dangers, many people still want to give heated exercise a go.
G. Experts have conducted numerous studies to explore the pros and cons of hot weather
workouts.

I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade, inspired by a light-hearted
conversation with my cousin about scary stories. Hours later, I had 41 my first short
story. Writing 42 became a beloved hobby, but as I grew older, the 43 began
to fade. I started reading more books, encountering critiques online, and comparing my work to
others. Self-doubt crept in, and what once felt like a creative outlet became a source of 44 .
I felt I had to be “good” at writing to share it.
This 45 happens often. Hobbies start as a form of 46 , a way to relax
ourselves. Yet, over time, societal pressures to 47 can change how we view them.
Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or any other 48 , there’s an expectation to
perform at a high level. When we don’t meet that standard, the joy fades, replaced by feelings
of inadequacy.
For me, writing has been the one hobby I’ve regularly returned to, 49 moments of
self-doubt. I’ve taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement, but the
constant 50 for perfection turns writing from a 51 into a chore. I’ve come to
realize that this mindset 52 me of the joy I once found in it.
We need to recognize that it’s 53 not to be great at something. Perfection is often

balance between enjoyment and 55 . Embrace imperfection, and enjoy the process, even
if you’re not “great” at it.

Mrs. Crouch was a scary teacher. She had a hard, serious face and a disposition (性情) as
cold as ice. If a student wasn’t listening, she’d take off her shoe and bash it on the table. Other
times, she’d walk around the room and slam a ruler on a child’s desk if they were daydreaming.
We hated her class. My friends Johnny, Katy and I were good kids, but we liked to laugh
now and then. That was a bad idea in Mrs. Crouch’s English class. “Is something funny ” Mrs.
Crouch would say. “Perhaps you’d like to share with me how funny it is over lunchtime while
you catch up on the work you’re already behind in.”
No one ever saw her smile, and there were stories about what her problem was. “Maybe
she doesn’t have any friends,” one kid would say. “Maybe her husband left her,” another would
say.
We found out sometime later, that Mrs. Crouch, indeed, had a problem. Some years before,
her little daughter had a terrible illness and passed away and it seemed Mrs. Crouch had never
really been able to get past the pain. But did this give her an excuse to be mean I’m sure Mr.
Jones, who taught history, had some problems too, but he was never mean to us.
Anyway, the years passed and we enjoyed all our classes — except Mrs. Crouch’s. Mr.
Jones’ history class was particularly fun. But, as our grades became more important, we
noticed that our marks for history and some others were not so great, while in English,
everyone was getting top grades — even the weaker kids. I asked Ben, who was known to be
a terrible student, how he was doing so well in English. “It’s a secret,” he said. Eventually, I
found out he was getting help outside of school time. And it was from no other than Mrs.
Crouch! She was using her own time to help the kids who needed it! Maybe she wasn’t so bad
after all.

Dear Mike,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble persuading your parents to let you study in
China. I quite understand your situation, and I’d like to share some useful suggestions with you.
Initially, you’d better have a sincere and calm conversation with your parents. Explain
your strong interest in Chinese culture, language and the high-quality education here. At the
same time, tell them you will take good care of yourself and keep in touch regularly. In
addition, you can show them your clear study plan to prove you are responsible. I believe your
parents will understand and support you in the end.
May everything go smoothly for you!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

One day, Johnny, Katy and I were walking down the corridor when a bully called Jack
and his mean friends followed closely behind. A feeling of dread washed over us as they neared.
For months, they had been picking on us without any reason. It began with the usual insults and
pushes. Then things got much worse. They knocked Katy’s books out of her hand and threw
Johnny’s glasses on the floor. Jack even grabbed my ear, pushing me against a locker. Just as
we prepared ourselves for the worst, a sudden disturbance erupted behind us. Turning around,
we saw Mrs. Crouch striding toward us with determination in her eyes.

“How dare you!” Mrs. Crouch’s voice cut through the tension. Jack, shocked by Mrs.
Crouch’s unexpected arrival, hesitated briefly before meeting her gaze. “I won’t tolerate this
behavior any longer,” Mrs. Crouch continued, her voice carrying a weight of authority that
demanded attention. “You have a choice to make, Jack. You can either continue down this
destructive path or choose a different course for yourself.” Jack looked Mrs. Crouch in the eyes.
“I’m sorry,” he said. Then, the boys walked away. Mrs. Crouch was scary, but she wasn’t mean.
She proved to be the most caring teacher I had ever known.

couple of open houses last month, and it helped me narrow down my choices.
M: That’s a good idea. I should start planning some visits too.

W: How was your trip to Chicago, Joe
M: I wish I had spent my vacation here instead.
W: So, you didn’t like Chicago
M: Actually, I loved the city, but I got sick while I was there.
W: I’m sorry to hear that.
M: I came close to having to call the doctor. But luckily, I had some medicine with me and I
took that. I always carry it just in case.
W: Good thing you had it on hand.
M: I didn’t expect to get sick in Chicago. Next time, I’ll make sure I’m in good health before I
leave.
W: Fingers crossed for your next trip!

W: How much does this car cost
M: Let’s sit down and discuss that. How much are you looking to spend
W: I really was just wondering what the price is.
M: Well, including tax, license and registration, I can let this car go for fifteen thousand dollars.
W: I was hoping for something lower.
M: Okay, what price do you think is fair We can find a middle ground.
W: I was thinking around thirteen thousand dollars.
M: You seem like a nice person, so I’ll give it to you for fourteen thousand dollars.
W: That would be fair if the car was in great shape, but it is registered as having been in an
accident.

M: Alright, thirteen thousand seven hundred and fifty, and that’s my final offer.

W: Good morning! May I come in
M: Good morning, Miss Gale! Please, come in. I believe you’re from the Perivale College of
Education
W: Yes, that’s correct. And you must be Mr Williams. I understand you were expecting me.
M: Indeed, Miss Gale. Welcome to our school. I’m sure you’ll find it has a nice learning
environment.
W: We’ve heard a lot of positive things about your work at the college, Mr Williams. Some of
your work sounds most exciting, especially your new ideas about math education.
M: Thank you. Well, let’s get down to business. Here are your timetables.
W: Thank you.
M: I’ve arranged for you to observe two of our most experienced teachers. These observation
sessions will be of great value to you, you know.
W: Absolutely. When do you think I’ll be able to start teaching
M: Very soon, I think.

W: Hello, I’m Natalie, and I’d like to share a bit about my job. I work as an Australian tour
guide. The competition for tour guide positions in Australia is quite intense. To secure this role,
you need to have a formal interview and then give a presentation in front of a group. They want
to see how you perform under pressure. My job involves taking groups of Australian tourists
around Europe, with a focus on England and Italy, but sometimes we go to France and
Germany as well. Our tours typically last from 10 to 45 days. While on tour, all your expenses
are covered, and depending on your experience, you can earn up to $800 per week. The work is
seasonal, so breaks between trips are limited. The most challenging part is often saying
goodbye to people you’ve grown close with and then immediately welcoming a new group.
