Modern 10-story building with two elevators. ＄1, 750/month. First month’s rent and security deposit equal to one month’s rent required to move in. To see, call City Office Rentals at 382-0838 between 8:30 and 4:30, Tues.-Sat. To: Marilyn Sawyer From: Paul Lebowski Sent: Tuesday, October 3 Subject: Office rental Marilyn, Here’s a link to an office rental ad I found online: www.offices.com/10-01. I think it’s worth looking at even though the rent is a bit high. I know it is a good deal more than we are paying now, but look at the size. It’s twice as big as our current office, and I’m sure we can use the space. And it has a kitchen, a bathroom and a reception area just like we have now. Unfortunately, it is nowhere near a subway station. That is a convenience I would miss having, but it does have parking, unlike our current office. I’m sure our clients would appreciate that. It would also be good to be in a building with an elevator. I’m really tired of using the stairs. I’d like to see the space as soon as possible. Could you call and make an appointment? Try and get one for tomorrow if you can, because after that I’ll be away until next Monday, as you know. Thanks. Paul 21．How big is Marilyn and Paul’s current office? A．450 square feet. B．750 square feet. C．900 square feet. D．1,750 square feet. 22．What is true of Marilyn and Paul’s current office? A．It is near the subway. B．It is in a 10-story building.

A．Monday B．Tuesday C．Wednesday D．Thursday B  When Simon Cane was in the second grade, he began learning about all the ways humans have an impact on the environment and really took those classroom lessons to heart in a way that set him apart from his schoolmates at his elementary school, P. S. 81, in the Bronx. “He told me we drove too much and made too much pollution,” his dad, Jonathan Cane, told Runner’s World. So Simon convinced his parents to start hanging their clothes to dry, taking the stairs instead of elevators, and other “green” measures. “For much of kindergarten and first grade I rode my bike to Simon’s school with him on the back,” Jonathan said. “We had a lot of fun being outdoors. We’d stop to give our dog treats and generally enjoyed it.” As Simon got bigger, though, it wasn’t practical for him to ride on his father’s back, but it also didn’t make sense to ride together — both because of safety concerns and because there was no place to put away Simon’s bike. So, most of the time they drove the 1. 5 miles to school. But in 2019, when Simon was going into third grade, the 8-year-old came up with a new way to help the planet: running the 1. 5 miles to P. S. 81. And Jonathan promised his son he’d join him for as long as he wanted. “We did a test run one day in August, and decided to give it a go. To be honest, I thought he’d blink (眨眼)after it got really cold or rainy, but he never did,” Jonathan said. He recalled one day when the weather was particularly bad. “It’s really raining out there today,” he told Simon. “And Simon said, ‘Well then we’re going to get wet!’ He took pride in toughing it out, and it became a really fun family routine.” Since the start, Simon has run with his dad and their black dog, Lola, and has even inspired his mom, Nicole Sin Quee, to join in. They soon became known as “the family that runs to school”. 24．What makes Simon different from his classmates? A．Washing his clothes by himself. B．Taking many classes after school. C．Raising strange questions in class. D．Taking green measures to protect the environment. 25．How did Simon usually go to school in second grade? A．By car. B．By cycling. C．By running. D．By school bus. 26．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Simon has trouble with his eyesight. B．Simon is really stubborn and inflexible. C．Simon is much tougher than expected. D．Simon didn’t get support from his father. 27．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Best Way to Go to School B．Father and Son Run for the Environment C．A Teenager Keeps Running to Inspire Father D．Three Inspiring Running Athletes to Protect the Environment C Hotels are full, local specialties are nearly sold out, tourists came in droves from all parts of China. Rongjiang, a small county in a remote mountainous area with a population of less than 400,000 in Southwest China, has recently gone viral for its "Village Super League", creating a spectacular sports carnival in China. Every week, more than 40,000 audiences flock to the stadium for the "Village Super League". As of the end of June, 2023, the tournament has had more than 20 billion views on the Internet. During a match in May, Wu Chuguo, a decoration worker from Liubaitang village, Rongjiang County, scored a spectacular 40-meter goal that ignited the crowd. Wu said he was influenced by elders in his village and fell in love with the sport. In the county, rural soccer matches have taken place regularly since the 1990s. When there was a lack of facilities, soccer players used barren land as a field and wooden stakes for the posts. The boundaries were marked out with lime powder. When they can't gather enough players, they play futsal, a soccer-based game played on a smaller hard court. In recent years, the county has focused on gymnastics, soccer, rock climbing and other sports, which has developed outstanding national and provincial-level sporting talent. What sets the Village Super League apart from other sports events are the enthusiastic displays of ethnic cultures and traditions at the tournament. As players of both teams walk on the field for a game, they are accompanied by their cheering teams dressed in traditional ethnic costumes and carrying local specialties. The halftime break features folk songs and dance performances, while ethnic costumes are also on display. "I hope that more and more tourists will come to Rongjiang to watch the matches, enjoy the folk customs and local cuisine, and have fun," said Xiong Zhuqing, a melon grower who is also a cheerleader. She says she has sold over 10,000 kilograms of watermelons since the start of the tournament. As of June 27, a total of 654 new businesses were established, including 91 in the catering sector, 188 in retail, and 195 in agriculture and food processing, the local government said. By combining tourism with sports, Rongjiang has found a creative and meaningful way to promote rural vitalization（振兴）and rural economic growth. 28. What do the underlined words "gone viral" in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Won a prize. B.Made a promise. C.Faced great challenges. D.Become popular instantly. 29. What can we know from paragraph 3? A.Rural soccer matches are demanding on facilities. B.Wu Chuguo started the sports event at Liubaitang village. C.Rongjiang County has a deep tradition of soccer matches. D.The small court greatly limits soccer players' performances. 30. What is special about the Village Super League? A.It covers players from all walks of life. B.It combines ethnic elements with sports. C.It aims to select athletes for national-level games. D.It has a cheering team consisting of football fans. 31. What do the statistics in paragraph 5 indicate? A.The matches can help promote economic growth. B.Rongjiang's tourism has fueled the sports industry. C.Selling agricultural products is key to rural vitalization. D.Local companies have offered significant financial support to the matches. D Dogs and humans clearly have a special bond. But do dogs, like humans, produce more tears at times when they are flooded with emotion? A new study, which may be the first to look at this question, says that, indeed, the eyes of dogs do well up with tears. In fact, it happens regularly when they’re reunited (团聚) with the owners. “We found that dogs produce tears associated with positive emotions,” says Takefumi Kikusui of Azabu University in Japan. “We also made the discovery of a chemical, oxytocin, as a possible mechanism (机制) behind it.” Kikusui and his colleagues made the discovery after one of his two dogs had babies 6 years ago. He noticed that, when his dog was nursing the babies, something changed in the dog’s face — there were tears. Those tears don’t fall as they often do in humans but they do get teary eyes. “That gave me the idea that oxytocin is likely to increase tears,” Kikusui says. They decided to run a reunification experiment and see if oxytocin brought dogs to tears. First, they used a standard test to measure dogs’ tear volume (量) before and after reuniting with their owners. They found that tear volume indeed ascended when they got back together with the familiar human and not with a person they didn’t know. When they added oxytocin to the dogs’ eyes, their tear volume also increased. That finding supports the idea that the release of oxytocin plays a role in tear production when dogs and their owners get back together. They also asked people to rate pictures of dogs’ faces with and without artificial tears in them, and it turned out that people gave more positive responses when they saw dogs with teary eyes. These findings suggest that dogs’ tear production helps to develop stronger connections between people and their dogs. Kikusui says they had never heard of the discovery that animals produce tears in joyful situations, such as reuniting with their owners, and that they were all excited that this would be a world first! 32．What’s the author’s purpose in raising the question in the first paragraph? A．To compare different ideas. B．To express his personal doubt. C．To lead to the topic for discussion. D．To introduce the rich emotions of dogs. 33．What made Kikusui think oxytocin might increase tears? A．A lesson at university. B．An experience of his own. C．The interaction with a dog. D．A reminder from his colleagues. 34．The underlined word “ascended” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A．remained unchanged B．Rose C．became zero D．decreased 35．In Kikusui’s opinion, the experiment’s findings ________. A．came as a big surprise B．required further evidence C．were within their expectation D．were contrary to previous ones 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。 Learning English through news is a great way to improve your vocabulary and listening skills and learn about current events.
