Bookstores, like wines, have different notes, different flavors, each one distinct. There are the musty (有霉味的), odd ones with random piles and dusty rows, usually with both used and new books. There are small independent stores charming and cozy. Then there’s the big-box with long, straight rows, bright and dustless, usually featuring a cafe and a kids section you can get lost in.
My adoration for bookstores is, without a doubt, partly nostalgic (怀旧的). I came of age in the late 1990s, when Amazon was mostly known as a river in South America, phones were not smart and bookstores were dotted around cities.
When my husband and I were dating, our go-to date was to get coffee and walk around bookstores together. It was the best. We’d move slowly, wandering through the religion section, the memoirs, fiction, poetry, history. I’d pick up a title I’d heard about and sit in the aisle reading a chapter. I’d find one I’d never heard of and scan the back cover. We’d sip our coffee and read each other interesting paragraphs from books we found.
I fell for bookstores and for my husband at the same time. So when stores began closing down all over America, we were both sorrowful. What were we supposed to do with a night out now
In a recent very informal and unscientific poll (调查) of my friends, I found that many of us love and miss physical bookstores. Friends described the feeling of discovery and exploration, the calming serenity (宁静) of being surrounded by words and ideas. My wise friend Greg said, “Bookstores are like the best parties: You may discover a new friend or join an unexpected conversation with a simple turn of your head.”
I dream of an America with streets full of independent bookstores whose inventories (库存清单) contradict one another. But right now I’m in favor of any brick-and-mortar (实体的) book store, really. Any place that reminds us that the material world is beautiful and worth spending time in. Any place where we can learn how to exist together in communities full of words and ideas. Any place where we may discover something unpredictable and new. And if there’s coffee nearby, even better.
24. What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 suggest about the late 1990s
A. Physical bookstores were popular. B. The information age finally dawned.
C. Smart phones were common in cities. D. The Amazon River remained unpolluted.
25. What do we know about the author
A. She was picky about her books.
B. She favored books she hadn’t heard of.
C. She spent most of her time in bookstores.
D. She enjoyed drinking coffee while reading.
26. What do the author’s friends think of physical bookstores
A. They are easily out-of-date. B. They are a source of inspiration.
C. They are attractive to party goers. D. They are intended for conversations.
27. Why did the author write this article
A. To share her affection for bookstores.
B. To introduce different types of bookstores.
C. To criticize the lack of public enthusiasm for reading.
D. To explore the reasons for the disappearance of bookstores.
C
The world’s biggest electric vehicle — a 45-ton mining dump truck named the eDumper — may have to give up its throne. A newcomer powered with both electricity and a reserve of hydrogen fuel, is going to steal that title as the largest electric mining truck.
London-based Anglo American is developing the beast of a machine — it weighs 290 tons — as part of its sustainable mining vision. The conceptual work is done, but UK-based Williams Advanced Engineering will bring the truck to life. The idea is to replace the vehicle’s diesel engine (柴油机) with a high-power modular lithium-ion battery (锂电池). “We are delighted to be involved in this innovative and exciting project which shows the potential of battery technology that can adapt to increased demands, from automotive and motorsport to ‘heavy duty’ industrial applications,” Craig Wilson, managing director of Williams Advanced Engineering, said.
While the eDumper — a mining truck used to move stones from the sides of mountains in Switzerland — relies entirely on pure electricity and pure physics for power, the Anglo American truck will use both a lithium-ion battery and hydrogen fuel cell (电池) module. Altogether, the new truck will have over 1,000 Kilowatt hours of energy storage.
Hydrogen fuel is a clear fuel that produces only water as a by-product when consumed in a fuel cell. It’s typically produced from natural gas, nuclear power, or renewable wind and solar power. Adding hydrogen fuel cells to the vehicle’s battery will allow the truck to run for longer periods of time without recharging.
There’s also a third type of power that comes into play with the Anglo American truck: kinetic (动力的) energy created through the process of regenerative braking (再生制动系统). When an electric vehicle — be it the Anglo American truck, or the eDumper — rolls down a hill, that movement creates electrical energy for the battery as you brake. The electric motors power the car through the battery’s stored energy, but can also become mini generators that return some energy back to the battery.
After Anglo American finishes test trials with the truck, the firm will conduct studies to understand how the truck’s power units can be used to provide energy storage in other applications.
28. What can be known about “the eDumper”
A. It weighs more than 290 tons.
B. It is powered by hydrogen fuel.
C. It will no longer be the largest electric truck.
D. It will discourage buyers for being expensive.
29. What is Craig Wilson’s attitude towards the future of the lithium-ion battery
A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
30. What is the benefit of adopting hydrogen fuel cells
A. It can save a lot of money.
B. Vehicles become more eco-friendly.
C. It has no environmental impact at all.
D. Vehicles no longer need to be recharged.
31. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following can be a feature of regenerative braking
A. Autonomous braking. B. Energy transformation.
C. Simple operation. D. Zero-carbon emission.
D
A new study of older adults finds excessive daytime napping (小睡) may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital report a relationship between daytime napping and cognitive (认知的) aging: excessive daytime napping predicts an increased future risk of Alzheimer’s, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s speeds up the increase in daytime napping during aging.
“Daytime sleep behaviors of older adults are often ignored, and a consensus (共识) for daytime napping in clinical practice and health care is still lacking,” said Peng Li of the Medical Biodynamics Program in Brigham’s Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders. “Our team calls for a closer attention to 24-hour sleep patterns — not only nighttime sleep but also daytime sleep — for tracking the health of older adults.”
Researchers at the Brigham recognized that all previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease assessed napping within a participant only once, most of which were subjective and questionnaire-based. In the new study, more than 1000 individuals, with an average age of 81, were provided Actical, a watch-like device, to wear on their wrist for up to 14 days. After napping episodes were identified, the nap duration and frequency were calculated.
The results suggest that excessive daytime napping may signal an increasing risk of Alzheimer’s, and that faster yearly increase in daytime napping may be a sign of worsening or unflavored clinical progression of the disease.
Researchers acknowledge that although the method of the new study has been widely used in sleep field studies, they recognize that polysomnography (多导睡眠记录仪) is the gold standard for sleep scoring. Moreover, the participants studied were older, and therefore, the findings may not be easily translated to younger people. In addition, future studies should test whether a direct intervention in daytime napping can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.
“We hope to draw more attention to daytime sleep patterns and the importance of patients noting if their sleep schedule changes over time,” said co-senior author Kun Hu of the Medical Biodynamics Program. “Sleep changes are critical in shaping the internal changes in the brain.”
32. What is the new study about
A. Ways to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
B. Causes of sleep disorders in older adults.
C. The symptoms of age-related cognitive decline.
D. The link between Alzheimer’s and daytime sleep.
33. What does Peng Li’s team advocate
A. Encouraging elders to get enough rest at night.
B. Investigating the health of elders with poor sleep.
C. Monitoring elders’ sleep patterns throughout the day.
D. Providing good health care for elders with Alzheimer’s.
34. What does the underlined word “episodes” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Periods. B. Incidents. C. Experiences. D. Series.
35. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Advice on adjusting sleep patterns.
B. Limitations of the present research.
C. The potential value of the study findings.
D. Supporting evidence for the research results.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The research by OECD that was analyzing the homework of 15-year-old school kids has shown that Italian children are overwhelmed with homework as they have to spend over 9 hours on it weekly. The other countries where children have to work over 6 hours on their tasks are Ireland, Poland, the USA and Australia. No wonder children would rather find hundreds of other activities than do their home assignments. 36 According to the Cooper’s review of homework studies, 70% of students show better academic success thanks to homework they were completing. Consequently, we should not underestimate its benefits and now it is time to focus on the reasons why it should not be banned.
Additional practice
37 Sometimes the percentage of this knowledge is relatively low, but the requirements of the curriculum make teachers give many self-study tasks home for them to achieve better test results. Moreover, the obligation to repeat the material learnt at the lesson contributes to its better memorizing and understanding.
It teaches students responsibility
When students only visit classes, they have no idea how difficult it is for teachers to prepare for the lessons and may behave abusively. 38 These features can be very useful for the future career too.
It teaches important life skills
When we say that students do their homework, we implement many meanings in this phrase. Pupils learn to manage time effectively, set priorities, and improve self-discipline. 39
40
If teenagers would have too much time for leisure activities, the probability that they will interfere with some illegal or criminal issues rises greatly. Being busy with tasks, they do not waste their time and spend it with the unmatched benefit.
A. It keeps students busy.
B. It enriches students’ knowledge.
C. Therefore, it’s high time that homework should be banned.
D. Not all the information is grasped by students at the lessons.
E. That is a good preparation for future career and meeting deadlines set by bosses.
F. At the same time, each person realizes that homework is extremely important in studying.
G. When they are given assignments on a regular basis, they raise responsibility, punctuality, and execution.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
18-year-old Sadiya was born in Deora, a small village in eastern India, but moved to the city of Mumbai when she was 3. In 2020, when the pandemic (疫情) broke out, her father’s small business was forced to close temporarily and the family returned to her ancestral village to wait out the pandemic.
However, it greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora, where almost half of the villagers couldn’t read. Unable to afford textbooks, many families often withdrew their children from schools. They didn’t wish to educate their children, many of whom had to work in the fields with parents though some had the desire to read.
Sadiya, the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility, has been trying to seize opportunities to open doors for others. Fluent in Hindi, Urdu, and English, she often speaks at inter-college events on the right to education and enjoys a high reputation among college students.
Used to taking on challenges, Sadiya was determined to do something for the children. One day last July, Sadiya sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a library. Many shook their heads in disagreement this wasn’t how a young girl should spend her time.
After many discussions, Sadiya finally convinced them and gained access to her relative’s guesthouse, mending it with $67 that she’d won in public-speaking awards. She took the help of her uncle, Akbar, and cousin, Nawaz, and got to work. Walls were repainted the bamboo roof was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed, and the room was filled with chairs and a long table. Vivid charts stuck on the walls — from anatomy (解剖) to transportation, lightened the space.
Looking at the newly-decorated “library”, Sadiya couldn’t hold back her excitement while imagining the children reading books here by light.
All was ready except books. So what Sadiya was desperate to do next was fill the shelves with books. She drew on all her savings and purchased many books suitable for children online.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
But these books were far from enough. With everything ready, the library finally opened.

Why Labor Skills Should Be Taught in Schools
Labor education will be incorporated into the curriculum of China’s primary and secondary schools. Students will have to learn basic labor skills such as cooking and repairing household appliances.
I strongly support this reform for mainly two reasons. On the one hand, with such courses, we can acquire life skills that we will need throughout our lives. On the other hand, these courses will encourage us to do chores and serve our family as well as our community, which will transform us into more responsible citizens.
All in all, I believe that labor skills should be taught in schools and I am looking forward to taking such courses.

One possible version
But these books were far from enough. To ensure children get access to more books, Sadiya took pictures of the library and uploaded them online, calling on students to donate books to the children library. Before long, hundreds of new and secondhand books poured in, but they needed checking, classifying and arranging in order on the shelves, which took Sadiya, her uncle and cousin a whole week. Tired as Sadiya was, a smile lit up her face when she pictured the scene where children were buried in reading by the book-filled shelves. With everything ready, the library finally opened. Several children stepped in curiously, asking Sadiya, “Can we read the books ” “Sure. Welcome!” Sadiya encouraged them. Some chose what they liked, while others hesitated. Realizing they had trouble reading, Sadiya gathered them in a corner, teaching them from the very beginning. Soon more children joined in. Every night Sadiya spared some time to give lessons so that more children could gain knowledge from the books. Sadiya’s efforts opened the wisdom door for them, which would surely make a great difference to their lives.
【分析】
所给文章讲述印度女大学生Sadiya因为疫情回到家乡,发现那里的村民多半不识字,也不支持自己的孩子接受教育。充满社会责任感的Sadiya想为改善这种状况做点什么,她最终决定在当地建一间图书馆,她说服亲戚们同意了她的想法,并改建了一间客房,剩下的就是在里面装满图书,她用自己的积蓄在网上买了一些儿童书籍。

W: So Rajat, how are your studies going on
M: It’s going great, Aunty.
W: Tell me, who is your favorite teacher
M: Ms. Thomas. She is our science professor. She is helpful, caring and is always ready with a listening ear to our problems.
W: But aren’t all your teachers like that
M: Yes, they are. But she is different from others.
W: In what sense Why is she unique
M: She is a great problem solver. Any doubts will be instantly clarified no matter what the situation is. She never scolds for asking even a silly question. For her, all students are the same no matter how studious or weak.
W: That is very nice. No wonder she is your favorite teacher.

W: Hi, could you please help me out with how to get to Amstel River
M: It’s a 20-minute drive from here. Hire a taxi ahead and you’re good to go.
W: Great! But, I’m afraid a little late for the light festival. What is the quickest way of getting there according to you
M: I still recommend the taxi, as the subway is at least 15 minutes from here and then the train journey will take you another seven minutes at least.
W: Thank you so much! One last question. Could you tell me where exactly we are right now
M: Sure. You are at The Munt Square. Is this your first visit to Amsterdam
W: Yes. That’s evident, isn’t it (In a friendly manner). Well, thank you so much! You’ve been a great help indeed.
M: No worries! It’s all good brothers. Have a great vacation here and I must tell you the light festival is an experience of a lifetime! Take care.

M: That’s great. By the way, I’m Blake Jackson from India.
W: I’m Mary. I have visited India twice, one for work purpose, and another with my parents for a tour. I enjoy delicious food and wonderful scenery. I’m impressed most by the rich culture and the warm people.
M: I’m glad you had a great time in my country. It is the first time that I’ve been in New York on a work project.
W: By the way, aren’t we forgetting something your wife sent you here for
M: Yes. My list.
W: Yeah. What else are you looking for
M: I completely forget the purpose of walking here. My wife would have thrown me out of the house if I would go back home empty-handed. Ha-ha! So, the list reads spaghetti. Where will I find spaghetti please
W: Walk down and on the extreme right, you will notice a shelf full of it. Pull out a pack, lucky for you... this grocery sells only one brand, which is the best.
M: Oh! Thank you for helping me out with two more things.
W: Sure. I’m happy to help!

Ten years ago, more than a third of all international students in China were from South Korea. Now, the international students are from over 10 different countries, like the United States, England, Japan and Thailand. Each makes up more than 3 percent of the population, while South Korea’s contribution has fallen to 17 percent. Rendon, originally from Mexico, studied in China for five years in both Beijing and Shanghai. She says: “My experience was great; I got to meet people from all over the world, mainly from Europe and South America, but I also had the opportunity to get to know the Chinese culture and develop great friendship with Chinese people. In my first six months, I lived with a host Chinese family in the typical Hutongs, which are traditional residential areas. I lived with about 10 Chinese people from the same family. It was amazing as we always had dinner together. While none of them spoke English, this helped me to learn the culture.”
Choosing to study in China is a smart move for anyone looking to try something slightly out of the ordinary, while knowing that you’ll be in good company.
