Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the
grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few latecomers. The Penn colleagues and other
community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture. That's
right― during some runs, one of them delivers a talk. Topics range from the brain to Bitcoin.
But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first clue that something was off
was the man who sprinted past them. "Running at an amazing pace,"
Cassidy told Runner's World admiringly. Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when
another man ran by, yelling, “Help! He took my phone and laptop!"
At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of
Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far
side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the
loot (赃物)in a backyard.
No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy. When they knocked on the
door of one row house, they were in for a surprise. Unknown to them, he had already emerged from the
construction site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the
suspect darted out from behind the bush ... and right into the arms of campus police, who'd joined the chase
shortly behind the runners.
The members of this running group are not hard-core athletes. But they do understand the benefit of
a little exercise. ''Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat," Cassidy told The
Philadelphia Inquirer. "But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities."
24. Why do the group members gather together?
A. To do some stretching. B. To have a regular run.
C. To deliver a lecture. D. To cover some topics.
25. What does the underlined word "sprinted" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Dashed. B. Pushed. C. Jumped. D. Escaped.
26. We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to__________.
A. the assistance of the runners B. the owner of the row house
C. the campus police on patrol D. the joint efforts of the people
27. Which of the following best describes Cassidy?
A. Athletic and generous. B. Courageous and ambitious.
C. Helpful and humorous. D. Thoughtful and demanding.
C
Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby food. But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing (冲洗)off raw poultry. Germs that can
make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey
and chicken. The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw, and that thorough cooking will kill the
bacteria.
The do — not — wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught
on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean, said Chapman. Benjamin
Chapman, a study author and food safety expert at
North Carolina State University, said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when
people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry. Meanwhile, washing hands and surfaces
are also important.
But food preparation is a complicated act, and germs from poultry can be spread even if it's not
washed, especially when birds are removed from packaging.
The USDA-funded study stresses that point. Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain
of E. coli (大肠杆菌)and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens. Among those who washed their raw
chicken, about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce. But even some of those who did
not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce. And there are other opportunities for germs to survive on
turkeys: melting and cooking.
To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked, they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and
thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees. Even after the meal is cooked, you aren't out of the danger
zone. To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe, experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.
28. People don't accept USDA's advice because___________.
A. the advice is relatively new
B. cleaning seems more trustworthy
C. cooks clean the turkey before cooking it
D. heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food
29. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?
A. Food packages carry germs.
B. Hands and surfaces are easy to get E. coli.
C. Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.
D. Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.
30. Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?
A. Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.
B. Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.
C. Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.
D. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.
31. From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?
A. Culture. B. Science. C. Education. D. Medicine.
D
Microplastics are everywhere in our environment. It's hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have
also been found in humans. A new study shows that America ns are consuming as many as 121,000
particles each year.
Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of
sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains
unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as their impact on
human health.
Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consumed
food items, among which are seafood, sugars, salts, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the
potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation ( 吸 入 ) using previously reported data on
microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agency's reported respiration rates.
Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and
drink ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into
account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.
The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an
additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water.
"This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact." Cox says.
The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate "the accumulative human exposure" to
microplastics. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the
food and drink that the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans' caloric intake. The team
could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grains because there simply is not enough data
on their microplastic content.
For those worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start.
But to the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so much plastic.
32. What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?
A. The quality. B. The quantity. C. The shape. D. The size.
33. How did Kieran Cox's team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?
A. By studying papers. B. By comparing the impacts.
C. By analyzing the data. D. By conducting experiments.
34. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Drinking less plastic bottled water helps to take in fewer microplastics.
B. The study is among the earliest to investigate human exposure to microplastics.
C. Cox's team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.
D. People consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from food and drink.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Potential Problems of Microplastics
B. Microplastics Coming From Various Sources
C. Microplastics Found Within Human Bodies
D. The Impact of Microplastics on Human Health

Many people often find themselves waking up in the middle of the night, unusually awake and
excited. 36 . That's really frustrating. However, there is no need to worry. Here are some effective ways

much for dinner. Do not drink and fill your bladder (膀胱)before bed. 37 . It may make you fall asleep
faster, but it may also disrupt
your sleep later in the night.
Stay in the dark. When you cannot sleep, LED lights on printers and cable boxes may be the reason.
The same is true for light streaming in through cracks in curtains. 38 _. You should cover lights with
tape and wear a sleep mask. A popular choice has deep eye cups so your eyes can open and shut while you
wear them.Quiet your mind. Try ways to relax, such as deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness exercises.
39 . The point is to keep your brain busy with something that is not demanding and is relaxing.
40 . If your wake-up time is 6:30 a.m. and your clock reads 3:00 a.m., do not
think Oh no! I have only three hours left! Instead, say to yourself Oh great! I have three more hours to
sleep!

The structure in organizations has changed. It has transformed from a boss to a leader being at the top
and from method directing to cooperation, 41 how many of us have actually made this 42 within
ourselves?
Let's not get personal about any person or connect this to any 43 organization. Consider the 44
pattern on a social media website such as LinkedIn. We often see good articles written by junior-level
employees which 45 new enthusiasm and new perspectives, but how many senior-level 46 go and
"Like" the article? Not 47 read it, but actually "Like” it. More often than not, the answer is none.
Leaders read such articles, but they 48 to press the "Like" button due to some fear!
A friend of mine, who holds the 49 of Director of Human Resources in a reputed organization,
happened to mention an article that his team member had written. I casually enquired 50 the absence of
a "Like" or comment from him. His answer really 51 me! He said: "You know what my 52 is? I
cannot be commenting or liking his article in public!" Amazed by this behavior, I did my research on this
pattern on a few social media platforms. Yes, people want to “Like" or comment on articles and photos that
are published by people with a(n) 53 level and do so as well.
While we are 54 the "Like" button on a junior-level employee's one — year anniversary, we
jump to be one in a few hundreds to offer 55 on a senior-level leader's one — year completion.
However, I think our precious “Like" for the employee 56 a lot and encourages him, while, on the
other hand, it is 57 many hundreds and is not 58 noticed by the leader.
Encourage new talents and 59 them. If we do not exhibit this socially, I am sure we will not 60
it in our job either.

I don't photograph wild animals very often, 61 wild horses are an exception. I first learned about

able to accompany him to see the wild horses in the Williams Creek area of Alberta. It was 63 unique
experience.

since then. Once we were so lucky to see more than 100 horses there. I managed to capture a great shot of a
pony 65 (run) and jumping for the sheer joy of it, 66 I felt so proud o£ The pony was having such
fun all by 67 (he) while the rest of his herd grazed peacefully.
Having been out with the horses several times now, I hope to visit them again—as often as possible!
They're magnificent and 68 (true) nurture my soul. I'm so thankful for the privilege of having the

People always say that we lack of the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I can't agree complete. Last
Friday, I wake up very early and decided to take a walk. In the square there many senior citizens were dancing; I found several elders absorb in feeding birds. Without many cars, I realized that the city looked
so clean but beautiful. Some coffee shop, which used to be old and shabby, were decorated pretty well and
caught my attention. On both sides of the street were big trees covering the whole city, making a green city.
At that moment, I found a city was so interesting. How I regret ignore its beauty before!
