Amanda Seyfried didn't grow up with dogs. With her busy work schedule, she didn't think
she could take care of a dog. In fact, she wasn't looking for a furry friend at all.But then she met Finn. Today, the 34-year-old actress, who's known for films Mamma Mia,
is a dog owner and a spokeswoman at the welfare organization Best Fnends Animal Society.
"I can't imagine my life without him," Seyfried says of 6.5-year-old Australian shepherd
Finn, who is allowed on her U.S. set. If for some reason he can't join Seyfried on location ——
like on a recent trip when she traveled from France to China, Seyfried requests from her dog
sitter twice — daily videos of him.
Now with a new video for Best Friends Animal Society, she calls herself Finn's "stage
mother."
Seyfried and Finn shot an 80s-themcd video for the 9000StepsChallenge, which asks animal
owners to walk 9,000 steps with their pets on the ninth day of the month to raise awareness to
the fact that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are euthanized (安乐死)in shelters each day
because there's not enough room.
As for the video shoot, in which Seyfried and Finn walked the 9,000 steps — it was more
exhausting than a long walk. Seyfried was Finn's trainer on the shoot. She believes that instead
of being Finn's cp-star, she'll go back to being BFFs.
24. Why did Seyfried originally refuse a pet dog?
A. She wasn't not yet a spokeswoman. B. She wasn't used to being with a dog.
C. She was too busy to care for a dog.D. She had not enough room for a dog.
25. Who does the underlined word "him" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Finn. B. Seyfried. C. The dog sitter. D. Finn's best friend.
26. Why did Seyfried shoot the video together with Finn?
A. To train Finn to have a long walk. B. To show how deep she loves Finn.
C. To call on public attention to pets' life. D. To take part in an animal cp-star show.
27. Which section of a newspaper is this text most likely from?
A. News. B. Life. C. Education. D. Sports.
C
Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of
Granada recently investigated this so-called “Pinocchio effect" and found that our noses don't
grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.
Dr. Gomez Milan and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography (体温
计)to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were
being untruthful, the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2℃, while the
temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientist also found that drop in temperature
at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the
human eye.
"One has to think in order to lie, which raises the temperature of the forehead," Dr. Gomez
Milan explained the findings. "At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature
of the nose."
For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while
their temperature is scanned by technology. One of these tasks required making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to make up the lie
themselves during the call. Interestingly, this lie detector picked up the "Pinocchio effect"
temperature difference in 80 percent of the test subjects, which is a better rate of success than
that of any modem lie detector.
"With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy", said Dr. Gomez Milan, who added
that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with
thermal imaging to achieve better results.
28. Why does the writer talk about Pinocchio in the first paragraph?
A. To tell a fairy tale. B. To give an example.
C. To talk about a scientist. D. To introduce the topic.
29. What is “Pinocchio effect"?
A. Our noses will grow when we tell a lie.
B. Our noses will shrink when we tell a lie.
C. The temperature of the forehead falls if we lie.
D. The temperature of the student rises for anxiety.
30. How did Dr. Gomez Milan feel about the lie detector?
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Confident. D. Puzzled.
31. What lesson can we learn from the text?
A. A lie will travel very hard. B. Once a liar always a liar.
C. A lie never lives to be old. D. Many ways to bring a liar to light.
D
East Africa is experiencing the worst desert locust (蝗虫)outbreak in decades. Climate
events have accelerated breeding of the pest across the region, and with a sudden rise in the locust
population expected in coming weeks, urgent actions and funds arc needed to prevent a human
crisis.
Twenty million people in six of the eight East African countries are most affected by an
ongoing desert locust outbreak at the risk of serious food insecurity. Considered among the most
destructive of moving pests, an adult locust can consume 2g of plants per day, affecting crops
and grasslands. A group typically holds 20 to 150 million locusts per square kilometer and can
move hundreds of kilometers per day, invading areas covering millions of square kilometers. An
active group, therefore, can destroy crops and grasslands within a very short period of time.
It was proposed that global warming could increase the risk of desert locust crisis over ten
years ago, and in February, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that the current
outbreak is linked to the effects of climate change: "warmer seas mean more perfect breeding
ground for locusts,". The outbreak has its origins in 2018, when a series of windstorms in the
Arabian Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛)enabled the warm and wet conditions the desert locust
requires to breed and band undetected in remote regions. Though our focus here is migration
west, dreadful outbreaks of the desert locust have been experienced to the east.
The situation is going out of control. A rescue operation and financial support admit no
delay. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) can take out only US$138 million for rapid response and immediate action — controlling the spread of the desert locust and
safeguarding livelihoods. They say the maths is clear: about half the funding (资助)is needed
for supervision, ground and sky control, and uniting efforts; the other half is needed for
livelihoods and food security of farmers. As for the huge gap, they have called on the
international community to act now through funding. However, by the end of February, just
US$69 million had been promised.
This most alarming crisis has developed and is worsening in East Africa. The funds needed
to control the situation become very difficult to achieve and the gap is a big concern.
32. Why does the crisis happen in East Africa?
A. There is a big population there.B. There are large deserts and grasslands.
C. Africa lies west of Arabian Peninsula.D. Good climate for breeding plays a role.
33. Why does the writer list those figures in Para 2?
A. To warn of the terrible damage by locusts.B. To help us understand how locusts live.
C. To show how many locusts there are now.D. To draw a picture of the present Africa.
34. What can we infer from the text?
A. The crisis is not noticed until recently. B. More fund is needed to prevent the crisis.
C. The crisis has been the focus of the world. D. Locusts are all from the Arabian
Peninsula.
35. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Funding Gap for Locust Crisis B. Global warming, a world problem
C. Killing locusts before too late D. Africa, a crisis-stricken place

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。
You know that eating healthy, staying active, and solving a few brain games can help keep
your memory. But the following lesser-known habits work wonders too.
1. 36
When we sit with our shoulders bent forward, this defeated position actually causes us to feel
anxious or depressed — which makes it harder to think clearly and remember things. Conversely
(反过来),straight upright posture apparently improves memory because it boosts blood and
oxygen flow to the brain.
2. Exercise — Once
Having trouble remembering faces? 37 In a study, pictures of faces were shown to older
folks after they pedal a stationary (静止的)bike at an intense pace or simply sit on a self-
pedaling bike. On average, people remembered the faces better after the intense exercise. What's
more, the memory gains after a single workout were similar to the gains after 3 months of regular
exercise.
3. Limit TV
Every parent and grandparent has heard that too much screen time can hurt a child's cognitive
development. 38 According to a study, people (aged 50 or older) who watched more than 3.5 hours of TV a day for 6 years experienced a greater drop in verbal memory test scores than
those who watched less.
4. Draw aimlessly
A research shows those who drew the words remembered the most when recalling words.
That's because while some parts of the brain about getting memory back become worse as people
grow older, the picture processing regions usually don't. 39
5. Walk Backward
40 Walk back! Backward motion — whether real, imagined, or watched — helps people
remember the information better than sitting still and, in most cases, better than forward motion.
It may be that moving backward in space mentally helps us move back in time to the moment we
learned something.
A. Sit Tall.
B. Stand Straight.
C. Start more workouts.
D. Sweat for physical training.
E. But what about those at the other end of their life span?
F. Thus painting can help adults keep their memory sharp.
G. Next time you're trying to recall something, don't just think back.

Twitter for all to see.
But attention was 59 what the officers wanted. They were driven by a far more common emotion. As Sojo told CNN, "When you look at someone's face and see that they need you and
they're actually hungry, it's pretty 60 as a human being to walk away from something like this."

especially children.
Tanghulu is 62 (common) made of haws (山楂),which are rich in vitamin C and

its origin. According to a legend, 800 years ago, one of the emperor's 64 (wife) was sick and

dinner. She recovered within two weeks. Later, the prescription (处方)was passed on to

dried. The syrup finally turned 67 a solid coating, like crystal on the surface of haws. That is 68

One evening after work, I found a beautiful little fox with a injured leg. He was like a Disney
fox. Then I feed her some fish. A couple of weeks later, the fox was back, much better and had
visited ever since. She was comfortable enough to come really close me. She allowed me to take
photo of her, the best of whom I posted on social media. Soon after, she took her cubs together
to visit to me, which was really unexpected. It's amazing to have this connection with something
so wildly in this busy city, but happily the loving fox still keeps turning up.
