A
As the summer heat builds,we couldn't help but wonder.Is there anybody in the world who doesn't love ice cream Ice cream may be universally appealing,but many countries have their own version.
Frozen custard,United States
Different from frozen yogurt,which is made with cultured yogurt and sugar,frozen custard is a combination of milk, cream,sugar and eggs. When it comes to its flavors, Americans typically have a choice between vanilla or chocolate. Dairy Queen,the Midwest fast food restaurant chain,and Culver's and Carvel are all popular go-to spots in the US.
Raspado,Mexico
While snow cones(雪糕筒)are made using massively sweet syrup(糖浆), raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices.The sweet and cold treat is common throughout Mexico and sold at street carts.You won't find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones.They're only served in cups.
Gelato,Italy
Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream and mixed with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring.In Italy,gelato is served using a spatula(小铲)that presses the cool treat into a cup or cone. Finardi's go-to in Milanis probably the best shop in Italy which specializes in chocolate flavors.
Dondurma.Turkey
Dondurma is made with milk and sugar.The sellers usually offer flavors such as vanilla and melon.Buying dondurma is like watching a performance.The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish costume and hat,twist and tum the ice cream until it lands into a cone.Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.If you want to taste it,you can buy their dondurma from a street cart or at a fair.

In just a few hours,a fourth-grader Maliah would board a school bus alongside her classmates and head out for a twice weekly morning of horseback riding at Victoria Acres Equine Facility.
Victoria Acres,founded in 2012,empowers students with disabilities through horseback riding and provides more than 2,300 riding lessons and therapies(疗法)every year.Despite the busy schedule,Victoria Acres pays extra attention to the health and well-being of its eight therapy horses.It makes sure each animal participates in no more than three half-hour sessions each day.Many of the animals are older with a gentle and calm nature.This makes them especially suitable for therapy rides.
Maliah's school recently joined with Victoria Acres,in the nearby town of Guilderland to try out a new riding program to help individuals with disabilities build confidence and become stronger.
Morgan Grimm is a special education teacher.According to Grimm,the activity has helped Maliah,who is autistic(自闭症儿童),to connect with others.She can also enjoy learning outside a traditional classroom.
“On the days that we're not here,she's seeking a lot more attention and her behaviors are a bit increased.But on the days we come back from the farm,she's a lot calmer.”Grimm said.“We're seeing an increase in her making sentences and her overall language.”
The 10-year-old student is one of four autistic students participating inthe program.They recently had their fourth riding session.Volunteers said,“We can see clear evidence that those students who are participating are benefiting.Their physical ability and skills are improving,so are their social skills.They also have cognitive benefits—things that help with remembering, learning and using language and better confidence.”
It's commonly believed that students with disabilities have difficulty getting involved in social activities.Because of this preconception,their parents are nervous to take them out in the community.But Grimm said,"this is great exposure for them to see that it's a whole new world."
4.Why did Maliah and her classmates go to Victoria Acres twice a week
A.To explore nature.
B.To learn horse riding.
C.To receive therapy rides.
D.To relax themselves.
5.What plays an essential role in the riding program
A.Teachers’ comments.
B.Good-tempered horses.
C.Tight schedules.
D.Older animals.
6.What can we learn about the participants in the program
A.They prefer learning with others.
B.They improve physically and socially.
C.They hardly benefit from/the program.
D.They learn language better than others.
7.What does the underlined word“preconception”in the last paragraph probably mean
A.A fixed idea.
B.A personal habit.
C.An outdated theory.
D.An optimistic attitude.
C
There was a strange stillness.The birds,for example—where had they gone Many people spoke of them,puzzled,and disturbed.The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted.The few birds Seen anywhere were dying;they trembled violently and could not fly.H was a spring without voices.On the mornings that had once throbbed(跳动)with the dawn chorus of robins,catbirds,doves,jays,wrens,and scores of other bird voices,there was now no sound;only silence lay over the fields and woods and wetlands.
Rachel Carson was a scientist by profession.But these lines from the opening chapter of her 1962 book Silent Spring,A Fable for Tomorrow,show her talent as a writer.By imagining a world without birds,she aimed to alert not only the scientific community but also the public to the damaging effects of human activity on ecosystems—in particular,to the harmful use of pesticides, such as DDT.She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing ham to plants,animals and even humans,and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible, limited and carefully monitored way.
Carson urged people to make themselves aware of the facts and do something about the situation.Silent Spring contains a lot of scientific research and case studies.The book details the gypsy moth wipeout programme,which killed birds.The Book also gives examples of other wipeout programmers that did nothing to reduce the problems they were originally designed to solve.
Carson's message caused a great increase in environmental awareness.Its impact was immediate and far-reaching:The use of DDT was banned and the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)was established in the US.Silent Spring was therefore regarded as a milestone in the launch of the green movement in the Western world.
Her book not only changed the world;half a century later it remains a book that deserves to be reread today.Unless we do listen to Rachel Carson's warning,one day we may,wake up to the strange and quiet horror of another silent spring.
8.What is the function of the first paragraph
A.To describe a real scene.
B.To recommend a scientist.
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To provide background information.
9.Which of the following statement would Rachel Carson probably agree with
A.DDT was doing harm to the ecosystems on earth.
B.Pesticides had been used both responsibly and carefully.
C.The human activities did not cause damage to natural ecosystems.
D.The lines from the opening chapter of her book were just a fantasy.
10.What was the influence of the book Silent Spring
A.It was seen as a far-reaching green movement.
B.It prohibited the use of pesticides around the world.
C.It brought the author a good reputation around the world.
D.It raised people's consciousness of environmental protection.
11.What is the author's attitude towards Carson's message in Silent Spring
A.Concerned.
B.Disapproving.
C.Doubtful.
D.Objective.
D
The prospect of rewards usually motivates us,but a significant reward can have the opposite effect,resulting in under performance under pressure.Researchers have now identified a potential brain process behind this phenomenon.In 2021,a study by Adam Smoulder and his colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University showed that even non-human primates(灵长类动物)can fail to perform well when rewards are abundant.
To better understand why this happens,the same researchers trained a different group of rhesus monkeys to reach for a small moving target,which required fast and accurate movements, in exchange for different quantities of sugary water.They used micro-electrodes (微电极)to record the activity of neurons(神经元)in the animals' motor cortex,the brain region that plans and performs movements.
The team found that individual cells in this region were sensitive to the size of the expected reward and adjusted their responses accordingly—increasing their activity in expectation of larger rewards and decreasing it when they expected smaller ones.
When looking at the coordinated activity of the region's cells,the researchers also found,with each of the monkeys"upcoming reaches,neural"signals"for planned movements were associated with a distinct pattern of neural activity that was responsible for planning the completion of the movement.However,when the monkeys expected a large reward,the differences between the movement signals in the motor cortex decreased significantly.The movement planning information that was coded in the cell population broke down,making the patterns that were associated with each possible movement harder to distinguish from one another, say the researchers.
Why this occurs,however,is unclear."We'd really love to find out if it's the dopamine(多巴胺) system going out of order that throws the motor cortex off balance at the key moment," says study author Aaron Batista at the University of Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania.The researchers expect that a similar neurological brain process occurs in people.With further research, the results may point to ways that we could one day warn people if they may be about to underperform while stressed,he says.
12.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.The aim of training the monkeys for plentiful rewards.
B.The method of observing the neurons in the motor cortex.
C.The reasons for recording movements in the motor cortex.
D.The process of studying monkey's brain activities for rewards.
13.What happened when the monkeys expected abundant rewards
A.The patterns of their motor cortex are distinguished.
B.The cells in their motor cortex broke down significantly.
C.The signals in their motor cortex better planned the next reaches.
D.The movement signals in their motor cortex became more similar.
14.What may the future research focus on
A.How dopamine system works.
B.People's performance under stress.
C.Non-human primates' brain activities.
D.How motor cortex keeps its balance.
15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.More Stress,Better Movements
B.Larger Rewards,Poorer Performance
C.How Motor Cortex Plans Our Performance
D.Why Rewards Affect Movement Planning in the Brain

Last week,I was reading a book and had just come to the most interesting part when my little brother,Tex,rushed into my room."Look at these cool paper airplanes I made!”Tex exclaimed, throwing one directly at my head.
Annoyed,I asked him for some peace and quiet so I could continue reading “Ooh!I want to read!”said Tex.He climbed onto my bed and eagerly asked[if I could read the book out loud to him.I replied that I didn't want to read[out loud.
Sensing my bad mood,Tex decided to cheer me up.He dashed out of my room and returned a minute later,dumping a basket full of stuffed animals all over me.“A teddy-bear picnic!”
“No,Tex,not today.”I got up,dragged myself to the living room and flopped into the chair,feeling grumpy(暴躁的).Tex stood in the doorway,a disappointed look on his face.
Although'1,knew Tex was just trying to help,I couldn't shake off my bad feelings.Just then,my friend Ollie arrived,excitedly holding a brand-new basketball.He suggested that we head to the park and try it out.
Feeling too absorbed in my bad mood,I sighed and told Ollie that I was too busy being in the world's worst mood to do anything at all.Curious about my annoyance,Ollie asked what had happened.I told him Tex had interrupted my reading and for some unknown reason,it had put me in a really grumpy mood.Ollie then mentioned that when he was in a bad mood,he liked to move his body.
“I'd love to move,"I said.“To a tropical island!”
“Not that kind of move!"Ollie said “T move my body.You know, skateboard, basketball, go for a walk,and do jumping jacks.Exercise makes me feel e on!”
I sighed,thinking that exercise was the last thing I wanted to do in my grumpy state.But Ollie's words echoed in my mind,and I realized that maybe he was right.
