If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane would leave at 10:50. Surprisingly, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.
The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travelled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
4. When did the author arrive at the airport probably
A．At 9:55. B．At 10:00. C．At 10:05. D．At 10:50.
5. When the author found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver, he ________.
A．asked the driver to give him a free ride B．offered to pay in pounds
C．gave the driver some fake (假的) money D．tried to pay by credit card
6. Generally, in May the weather in London is ________.
A．warm and dry B．cold and dry C．hot and wet D．cool and rainy
7. What is the text mainly about
A．How to make life easier. B．How to be well prepared for a trip.
C．How to enjoy ourselves on a trip. D．How to schedule our trip.
C
A new study has found evidence that horses can smell fear in humans’ sweat and that it causes them to feel the same emotion. People have believed for many years that horses can “smell fear,” and riders are often told to relax in order to keep their horse calm. Past studies have found that horses pick up human emotions from our facial expressions and voices. Recently, a team of researchers set out to see if horses can discover people’s emotions from smell alone.
In the study, 30 people were asked to watch video clips of happy scenes while cotton pads (棉片) under their arms collected their sweat. Then, with new pads under their arms, they watched a scary film.
The researchers then divided 43 horses into three groups. The animals wore devices called muzzles (鼻罩) that fit over their nose and mouth. One group was given a muzzle with a pad of happy sweat in it, one group received a pad from the scared people, and the third group had a clean, untouched pad.
The team tested the horses to see how they reacted to unexpected events, such as an umbrella being opened near them or an unfamiliar object being placed in front of them. Horses that wore the “fear” muzzle acted more scared. Their hearts beat faster, they were more likely to be surprised, and they were less likely to be curious about the new object or approach humans.
“The fearful smells from humans make the horses’ reactions stronger,” lead study author Plotine Jardat told CNN. “The significance is that horses can smell how we feel, even if they can’t hear or see us.”
The researchers hope that understanding horses’ emotions better can help people interact more positively with the animals and improve horse health and happiness. Stressed or scared horses often react with behavior that can be dangerous, such as kicking or running away, so knowing the importance of remaining calm can also keep humans safer around these sensitive creatures.
8. How did researchers collect human sweat in the study
A．By letting people watch videos. B．By asking people to exercise hard.
C．By letting people stay relaxed. D．By asking people to touch horses.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and 4
A．Happy sweat calmed horses down. B．Scary sweat made horses more fearful.
C．Untouched pads raised horses’ curiosity. D．Clean pads surprised horses easily.
10. What is the significance of the study
A．It helps humans control horses’ emotions freely. B．It helps train horses to avoid dangerous behaviors.
C．It helps horses get used to unfamiliar circumstances. D．It helps promote positive human-horse interaction.
11. What is the best title of the text
A．Horses are sensitive to sounds. B．Horses are emotional creatures.
C．Horses can smell a person’s fear. D．Horses behave in different ways.
D
An online research showed that people believed having the choice to jump through parts of a video or switch (转换) to a different one could make watching videos less boring — the exact reason why people use TikTok or YouTube. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or jumping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored.
Dr. Kate Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead author of the research, explained that boredom (无聊) is closely connected to our ability to pay attention. “We feel bored when there is a gap between how focused we are and how focused we want to be,” she said. When people keep moving quickly through videos, they become less focused with the videos and start looking for something more exciting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.
To test this idea, the researchers did an experiment which involved over 500 undergraduates. One group watched a single 10-minute video without the choice of switching, while the other group have the choice to click (点击) between several five-minute videos. The results showed that those who could choose between videos felt more bored.
“Our research shows that while people switch videos fast to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” Dr. Tam concluded. She compared the experience to watching a movie in a cinema, where immersion leads to enjoyment. Similarly, true enjoyment from online videos often comes from focusing ourselves in the videos, not from endlessly moving quickly through it. This finding suggests that, sometimes, having fewer choices might actually be better for our focus and enjoyment.
12. Why does the author mention the online research in paragraph 1
A．To introduce the new finding. B．To support an old idea.
C．To show the author’s opinion. D．To give an interesting example.
13. In Dr. Tam’s experiment, how did the researchers test their idea
A．By recording the length of different videos. B．By asking people about their favorite videos.
C．By checking how long people could focus on a video. D．By comparing groups with and without the choice to switch.
14. What does the underlined word “immersion” in the last paragraph mean
A．Full attention. B．Great pleasure. C．Short memory. D．Quick response.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Watching videos on TikTok or YouTube brings fun.
B．Boredom mainly results from focusing on long videos.
C．Switching videos increases rather than reduces boredom.
D．Watching videos in cinemas is more enjoyable than watching online.

I have always loved libraries ever since I was a boy. Over the years I have read more books than I can count and I have visited the local libraries more times than I can remember. Now in the age of the Internet and with so many faces in screens instead of books, I am concerned that places like these will begin to fade away and we will lose all the joy they bring.
I stopped at the library nearest my home just the other day. It was right off from the local grade school and had been my home since I was young. I opened the door and walked inside. The librarian, David, greeted me warmly, “Good afternoon, Jane. Welcome to the library again.” On the desk next to him sat a beautiful, black cat. “Good afternoon, Mr David. What a cute cat!” I patted the cat gently on the head and smiled.
I gave David a book I wanted to donate and then wandered into the back room to look at the books for sale. The black cat had returned to the room. She stretched. She sharpened her claws for a moment on the furniture. Then she jumped up on the shelf. She meowed (喵喵叫) and let her head up against my hand hoping that I would start petting her again. I smiled and petted her head, and spoke sweetly to her while she rolled on her back.
I thought that if only we could let our guard down as easily and openly as this cat then this world would be a lot more beautiful. I gave my new furry friend some food and then walked out. Then I picked out a book about animal protection, where I learned a lot. The world is full of life, wisdom and love. Let’s benefit from people, nature, books and libraries, and occasionally friendly cats.

**Please Be a Wise Smartphone User**
Nowadays, smartphones are widely used in our daily life. They bring us convenience and fun, but many people, especially teenagers, become addicted to them.
Spending too much time on phones is harmful. It affects our study, ruins our eyesight and reduces face-to-face communication. Therefore, we should use smartphones wisely. We can use them to look up useful information or keep in touch with relatives. However, we’d better put phones aside while studying or staying with family.
Let’s be wise smartphone users and enjoy a healthy life.

After that, I brought food for the cat every time I went to the library. Gradually, she became familiar with me and would run to meet me as soon as I appeared. We got along really well. Every time I stayed in the library reading, she would lie quietly beside me, accompanying me. I felt warm and relaxed with this lovely cat around. It seemed that we had formed a special bond.
One day, when I came to the library, the cat greeted me with five little cats. They were small and lovely, walking unsteadily around their mother. I was so surprised and delighted. David told me the cat had given birth to babies recently. Looking at the whole family, I made a decision to adopt them all. From then on, these cute cats became part of the library, bringing more joy to everyone here.
