As a kid, Pamela Akuku spent her weekends exploring the National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi, following her mom, who worked there. Akuku became fascinated with the researchers she saw using complicated equipment and analyzing fossils. “But I didn’t know what they were doing at the time, ”she said. “I kept asking my mom about it.”
Akuku’s mom saw her daughter’s curiosity and signed her up for the museum’s Young Researchers Club. Akuku soon took part in mock excavations (模拟挖掘) and reconstructed bones. “I enjoyed reading and puzzles,” Akuku said. “And this was a mixture of the two.”
The museum experiences helped inspire her career as an archeologist(考古学家). After her four years at university, she was sure that she wanted to intensely study archaeology. She studied for a master’s degree in South Africa and majored in zooarchaeology. She is now at the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution in Tarragona, Spain. There, she studies how ancient humans changed and made use of animal bones. Her research is helping to reveal more about where early humans lived. She is currently studying remains from Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge, where researchers previously discovered stone tools and evidence of early human ancestors going back as far as about two million years.
Akuku gave some advice to the people who want to do this job. She said, “Be prepared to encounter hard conditions. Working in this field is challenging. You feel like you have to work twice as hard just to be recognized, or sometimes you feel you’re not working hard enough or that you don’t fit in.” But she has learned to deal with any situation. Now she always tells everyone they should feel worthy and smart enough. She often says, “Don’t feel like you don’t belong here. What you’re doing counts.”
24. What did Akuku notice in the museum?
A. The researchers studied how ancient people improved stone tools.
B. The researchers examined the nature and structure of fossils.
C. The researchers designed and made use of some equipment.
D. The researchers dug out and constructed bones again.
25. Why did Akuku’s mother let her join the Young Researchers Club?
A. Akuku’s mother wanted her to help with her work.
B Akuku’s mother was persuaded to do so by the club.
C. Akuku was familiar with some members in the club.
D. Akuku had a strong desire to know about something.
26. What is true about Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge?
A. Many stone tools wait to be found there.
B. The historical site was seriously damaged by people.
C. People possibly lived there about two million years ago.
D. The remains were discovered by researchers from Kenya.
27. What does Akuku suggest relevant people have a sense of?
A. Their being intelligent and solving problems quickly.
B. Their being bright and believing that they’re valuable.
C. Their being generous and giving others a hand instantly.
D. Their being courageous and concentrating on their missions.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B

Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.
That is a useful topic to explore. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to obtain. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.
Dr. Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2022, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the riskof a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death.
Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how to best plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict the flow. The only option may well be to make them wider.
28. What does the paper concentrate on?
A. How six fighting bulls appeal to so many people.
B. How bull-runs cause injuries and deaths every year.
C. How six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town.
D. How bull-runs affect frightened people’s minds and behaviours.
29. Why was the Pamplona bull-runs chosen for the experiment?
A. To help participants better understand city planning.
B. To ensure more meaningful activities in the future.
C. To offer constructive advice on avoiding disasters.
D. To collect reliable data from the panicked crowds.
30. How did Dr. Parisi and his team carry out their research?
A. By observing the event and analyzing the information.
B. By using the method of reasoning and judging.
C. By consulting the organizers of the bull-runs.
D. By doing experiments with some volunteers.
31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. People tend to slow down in high-density crowds.
B. Finding out the truth has a profound impact on urban design.
C. People in panicked crowds focus more on the potential danger.
D. Speeding up in high-density crowds is the only way to avoid danger.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了发表在《科学》杂志上的一篇关于潘普洛纳奔牛节如何为研究恐慌人群的心理提供见解的论文,以及该研究对城市设计的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.(每年都有成千上万的人来到西班牙东北部的潘普洛纳市,寻求逃命的机会,因为有六头斗牛被释放,在镇上奔跑。每年都有伤亡事件,但许多人对这项活动感兴趣。刚刚发表在《科学》杂志上的一篇论文描述了这一事件对恐慌人群心理的洞察)”可知,这篇论文关注的是奔牛如何影响恐慌人群的心理和行为。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to obtain. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.(建筑师、土木工程师和城市规划者必须设法弄清楚人们在火灾、洪水或恐怖袭击等灾难发生时的反应,这样他们才能设计出避免潜在致命碰撞的建筑。不幸的是,很难获得确切的信息。该论文的主要作者丹尼尔·帕里西意识到,潘普洛纳的奔牛节提供了一个完美的自然实验)”可知,选择潘普洛纳奔牛节进行实验是为了从恐慌人群中收集可靠的数据。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dr. Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2022, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed.(2022年7月,帕里西博士和他的团队去了潘普洛纳的两个不同的屋顶位置,并拍摄了奔牛被放出时跑步者的情况。后来在实验室里,他们计算了跑步者的速度、人群的密度、跑步者绊倒摔倒的概率以及跑步者群体密度与速度的关系)”可知,帕里西博士和他的团队是通过观察活动并分析信息来进行研究的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the risk of a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death.(更令人意想不到的是,研究发现,个别跑步者的速度会随着人群密度的增加而加快,这与建筑和城市设计界长期以来的假设相反,即随着人群密度的增加,人们会降低速度,以降低碰撞的风险,而碰撞可能导致摔倒,甚至受伤或死亡)”以及最后一段中“The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how to best plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict the flow. The only option may well be to make them wider.(因此,城市设计师有责任研究如何最好地规划未来隧道、桥梁和其他限制人流的通道的建设。唯一的选择可能就是把它们建得更宽)”可知,这一发现对城市设计有着深远的影响,因为它挑战了长期以来的设计假设,并促使设计师重新考虑如何规划人流密集区域的通道建设。由此可推知,弄清楚真相对城市设计有深远影响。故选B项。

PARIS — Paris’ Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens its doors on Saturday, five-and-a-half years after it was severely damaged by a fire that destroyed its spire (尖顶) and roof and caused the entire Gothic masterpiece to collapse in minutes.
The 860-year old medieval cathedral (大教堂), a symbol of both France and Paris, has been quite carefully restored. On the evening of April 15, 2019, Parisians who rushed to the scene and TV viewers worldwide watched with horror as the cathedral’s spire and roof collapsed in the fire that threatened the main bell towers and the entire structure, which narrowly avoided destruction. “The planet was shaken on that day,” French President Emmanuel Macron said ahead of Saturday’s opening ceremony. “The shock of the reopening will — I believe and I want to believe — be as strong as that of the fire, but it will be a shock of hope.” The cathedral’s first stone was laid in 1163, and construction continued for much of the next century, with major restoration and additions made in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Thousands of expert craftspeople — from wood carpenters and stonemasons to glass window artists — worked around the clock for the last five years, using age-old methods to restore, repair or replace everything that was destroyed ordamaged. “Notre-Dame is more than a Parisian or French monument. It’s also a universal monument,” said historian Damien Berne. “It’s a landmark, a symbol, indicating that in a globalised world everything evolves permanently,” said Berne, a member of the scientific council for the restoration of Notre-Dame.
Victor Hugo helped make the cathedral a symbol of both Paris and France when he used it as a setting for his 1831 novel, “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame”. Quasimodo, the main character, has been portrayed in Hollywood movies, an animated Disney adaptation and in musicals.
The Catholic Church now expects the cathedral to welcome some 15 million visitors annually. The cathedral says that from Saturday, visitors will be able to book a free ticket online, on its website, social media or a dedicated app, to get into the building on the same day or one or two days after booking a ticket. There will also be a queue on the spot for those who want to enter it without a booking. The cathedral has also created an app to help self-guide visits.
32. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The cathedral started to be constructed in the 12th century.
B. Only the main bell towers were seriously affected by the fire.
C. Someone set fire to the cathedral on the evening of April 15, 2019.
D. After the opening ceremony Macron said the whole world was shaken on April 15.
33. Which can replace the underlined word “portrayed” in the fourth paragraph?
A. Qualified. B. Recorded. C. Played. D. Evaluated.
34. How can visitors enter the cathedral?
A. By using a dedicated app to get a cheaper ticket.
B. By reserving a ticket without paying any money.
C. By donating some money to the Catholic Church.
D. By lining up to purchase a ticket at the scenic spot.
35. What is the best title for the news report?
A. Thousands of expert craftspeople work hard to restore Notre-Dame
B. 860-year old medieval cathedral — a symbol of both France and Paris
C. Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens on Saturday, five years after fire
D. Fire brings entire Gothic masterpiece within minutes of collapse

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了 “soccer”的由来以及美国人为何把足球叫做“soccer”,并与2022年的足球世界杯联系起来。
【36题详解】
根据上文的“US President Joe Biden posted a video on Twitter, saying, “It’s called soccer. Go, USA. You guys are going for it.” However, after the Netherlands won 3-1, the Dutch PM tweeted, “Sorry, Joe, football won,” according to Politico. (美国总统乔·拜登在推特上发布了一段视频,称“这就是soccer。加油吧,美国队。你们一定会成功的。”然而,据Politico报道,在荷兰队以3比1获胜后,荷兰首相在推特上写道:对不起,乔,football 赢了。)”以及下文的“with people from the USA and Canada instead choosing the name soccer. So why is there the difference? (来自美国和加拿大的人选择了soccer这个名字。那么为什么会有不同呢?)”可知,除了美国和加拿大之外,其他国家通常称这项运动为“football”。因此,填空处应说明“足球”在世界范围内的通用称呼。C选项“几乎全世界都把这项运动称为football”承接上下文,符合语境。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据上文的“Soccer is the name of the sport in the USA. (足球在美国被称为soccer。)”说明,soccer是美国对这项运动的称呼;以及下文的“According to Encyclopedia Britannica, students at the University of Oxford in the 1880s distinguished between the sports of ‘rugger’ (rugby football) and ‘assoccer’ (association football). (据《不列颠百科全书》记载,19世纪80年代,牛津大学的学生区分了rugger和assoccer这两种运动。)”可知,这里提供了“assoccer”一词的起源背景,并指出这一称呼与英国牛津大学的学生有关。D选项“但soccer这个词起源于英国”,其中的But表示转折关系,表明尽管soccer在美国被广泛使用,但其起源却是在英国,符合语境。故选D。
【38题详解】
根据上文的“In North America, there is also another sport called football, which is referred to as American football in the rest of the world. (在北美,还有另一种运动叫做football,在世界其他地方被称为美式足球)”可知,这里描述了两种对同一种运动的不同称呼情况,因此空处应说明为避免混淆,需要有一个明确的名称来区分这两种运动。G选项“这意味着仍然需要保留soccer这个名字来区分这两种运动。”正好提供了这一解决方案,即保留soccer这个名字来区分它们。故选G。
【39题详解】
根据下文的“12.97 million viewers watched the US versus Netherlands match on the Fox TV channel, while the Dallas Cowboys versus the Indianapolis Colts game on Dec. 4 averaged 18.13 million viewers, according to Los Angeles Times. The former was a soccer match, while the latter an American football one. (据《洛杉矶时报》报道,有1297万观众在福克斯电视频道观看了美国对阵荷兰的比赛,而12月4日达拉斯牛仔队对阵印第安纳波利斯小马队的比赛平均吸引了1813万观众。前者是一场足球比赛,后者是一场美式足球比赛。)”可知,这里提供了两组具体的收视率数据,分别对应一场足球比赛和一场美式足球比赛,通过这些数据,我们可以直观地看到两种运动在美国的受欢迎程度。F选项“当你在美国看电视收视率时,这一点就很明显了。”可作为对下文收视率数据的总结和引入,其中“This”指的是下文所描述的收视率对比情况。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文的“No matter what you call it, soccer is a sport that brings people together from all over the world. (无论你怎么称呼它,足球都是一项将世界各地的人们聚集在一起的运动。)”可知,这里强调了足球的全球性,它能够跨越国界、文化和传统,将人们聚集在一起。E选项“足球(或soccer)是体育国际语言的一部分”,其中的“the international language”和“that brings people together”相呼应,进一步证明了选项E与上下文之间的紧密联系。故选E。

William was a school student living in a suburban neighborhood. He was seventeen years old. One summer evening, William was getting ready for bed after finishing his assignments when he heard the sounds of fire alarms and screams coming from the outside. He quickly realized that there was a fire in his neighborhood and that his neighbors might be in danger.
He looked outside and saw that one of his neighbors’ houses was on fire. He knew that he had to act quickly to help his neighbors. After calling 911, he ran outside and heard his neighbors’ little son crying inside their burning house. “He must be quite scared and in a dangerous situation,” William thought.
William quickly assessed the situation and found that the house was almost surrounded by the flames (火焰). The best way was through the front door, but it was blocked by the fire as well. He knew that he had to find another way to help the boy escape from the house.
He ran back to his house, grabbed a ladder and then rushed toward his neighbors’ house. He placed the ladder against the second-story window and managed to help the little boy climb down to safety. Once the boy was safe on the ground, William climbed up into the burning house again to see if anyone else was trapped there.
As he made his way through the smoke, he heard cries for help from a bedroom on the third floor. He quickly ran up the stairs and found an elderly woman who was too weak to move. William quickly picked her up and carried her down the stairs and the ladder to safety. By this time, many firemen had arrived, and they did their best to put out the flames.
Looking around, William saw that a few other houses in the neighborhood were also on fire. He was aware that the fire was spreading quickly and that more people needed help. Without hesitation, William joined those firemen, who were working tirelessly to extinguish the flames. He helped elderly neighbors, families with young children, and even pets.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then William saw one of his neighbors, Mr. Adam, holding a few photos with tears streaming down his face. Their children, Bill and Alice, huddled together, looking scared and lost. William walked over to them, not knowing what to say. He just put his hand on Mr. Adam’s shoulder and said, “I am terrible sorry that this has happened. Look ahead and everything will turn out fine.” They agreed and nodded their heads. After comforting them, William went on to help fight against the fire. After hours of effort, fortunately, the fire was finally put out. Then exhaustion began to set in, but he felt warm in his heart. Having made sure everyone was safe, he quietly left the scene, went back to his room and climbed into his bed to enjoy a sound sleep.
William’s good deed quickly spread in the community and beyond. When he woke up the next morning, he found his action didn’t go unnoticed by his school. A call from his principal came, announcing he was awarded the title of School Hero. “But for your bravery, the neighbourhood would have suffered greater losses,” the principal expressed his admiration. Joy of being recognized welled up in William’s heart. But for him, the greatest award was that he had made a difference in others’lives. The fire also taught William an important lesson about the power of community. He became convinced that with kindness, bravery and willingness to help, nothing was impossible for a community.

As a kid, Pamela Akuku spent her weekends exploring the National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi, following her mom, who worked there. Akuku became fascinated with the researchers she saw using complicated equipment and analyzing fossils. “But I didn’t know what they were doing at the time, ”she said. “I kept asking my mom about it.”
Akuku’s mom saw her daughter’s curiosity and signed her up for the museum’s Young Researchers Club. Akuku soon took part in mock excavations (模拟挖掘) and reconstructed bones. “I enjoyed reading and puzzles,” Akuku said. “And this was a mixture of the two.”
The museum experiences helped inspire her career as an archeologist(考古学家). After her four years at university, she was sure that she wanted to intensely study archaeology. She studied for a master’s degree in South Africa and majored in zooarchaeology. She is now at the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution in Tarragona, Spain. There, she studies how ancient humans changed and made use of animal bones. Her research is helping to reveal more about where early humans lived. She is currently studying remains from Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge, where researchers previously discovered stone tools and evidence of early human ancestors going back as far as about two million years.
Akuku gave some advice to the people who want to do this job. She said, “Be prepared to encounter hard conditions. Working in this field is challenging. You feel like you have to work twice as hard just to be recognized, or sometimes you feel you’re not working hard enough or that you don’t fit in.” But she has learned to deal with any situation. Now she always tells everyone they should feel worthy and smart enough. She often says, “Don’t feel like you don’t belong here. What you’re doing counts.”
24. What did Akuku notice in the museum?
A. The researchers studied how ancient people improved stone tools.
B. The researchers examined the nature and structure of fossils.
C. The researchers designed and made use of some equipment.
D. The researchers dug out and constructed bones again.
25. Why did Akuku’s mother let her join the Young Researchers Club?
A Akuku’s mother wanted her to help with her work.
B. Akuku’s mother was persuaded to do so by the club.
C. Akuku was familiar with some members in the club.
D. Akuku had a strong desire to know about something.
26. What is true about Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge?
A. Many stone tools wait to be found there.
B. The historical site was seriously damaged by people.
C. People possibly lived there about two million years ago.
D. The remains were discovered by researchers from Kenya.
27. What does Akuku suggest relevant people have a sense of?
A. Their being intelligent and solving problems quickly.
B. Their being bright and believing that they’re valuable.
C. Their being generous and giving others a hand instantly.
D. Their being courageous and concentrating on their missions.
C
Every year thousands of people come to the city of Pamplona, in north-eastern Spain, for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town. There are injuries and deaths every year, but the event is of interest to many people. A paper just published in Science describes the insight the event offers into the psychology of panicked crowds.
That is a useful topic to explore. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must try to work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster like a fire, a flood or a terrorist attack so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly collisions (碰撞). Unfortunately, solid information is hard to obtain. Daniel Parisi, the paper’s lead author, realized that the Pamplona bull-runs offered the perfect natural experiment.
Dr. Parisi and his team went to two different rooftop locations in Pamplona in July 2022, and filmed the runners as the animals were released. Later in the lab, they calculated the speed of the runners, the density (密度) of the crowd, the probability of a runner tripping and falling and the relationship between runner-group density and speed.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of individual runners increased with the density of the crowd, which was contrary to a long-held assumption in architectural and urban-design circles that people will slow their pace as group density goes up, in order to lower the riskof a collision, which could lead to a fall and, perhaps, injury or death.
Yet it seems that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of colliding with each other, and do not slow down. The responsibility therefore falls upon urban designers to work out how to best plan the construction of future tunnels, bridges and other passages that restrict the flow. The only option may well be to make them wider.
28. What does the paper concentrate on?
A. How six fighting bulls appeal to so many people.
B. How bull-runs cause injuries and deaths every year.
C. How six fighting bulls are released to charge through the town.
D. How bull-runs affect frightened people’s minds and behaviours.
29. Why was the Pamplona bull-runs chosen for the experiment?
A. To help participants better understand city planning.
B. To ensure more meaningful activities in the future.
C. To offer constructive advice on avoiding disasters.
D. To collect reliable data from the panicked crowds.
30. How did Dr. Parisi and his team carry out their research?
A. By observing the event and analyzing the information.
B. By using the method of reasoning and judging.
C. By consulting the organizers of the bull-runs.
D. By doing experiments with some volunteers.
31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. People tend to slow down in high-density crowds.
B. Finding out the truth has a profound impact on urban design.
C. People in panicked crowds focus more on the potential danger.
D. Speeding up in high-density crowds is the only way to avoid danger.
D
PARIS — Paris’ Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens its doors on Saturday, five-and-a-half years after it was severely damaged by a fire that destroyed its spire (尖顶) and roof and caused the entire Gothic masterpiece to collapse in minutes.
The 860-year old medieval cathedral (大教堂), a symbol of both France and Paris, has been quite carefully restored. On the evening of April 15, 2019, Parisians who rushed to the scene and TV viewers worldwide watched with horror as the cathedral’s spire and roof collapsed in the fire that threatened the main bell towers and the entire structure, which narrowly avoided destruction. “The planet was shaken on that day,” French President Emmanuel Macron said ahead of Saturday’s opening ceremony. “The shock of the reopening will — I believe and I want to believe — be as strong as that of the fire, but it will be a shock of hope.” The cathedral’s first stone was laid in 1163, and construction continued for much of the next century, with major restoration and additions made in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Thousands of expert craftspeople — from wood carpenters and stonemasons to glass window artists — worked around the clock for the last five years, using age-old methods to restore, repair or replace everything that was destroyed ordamaged. “Notre-Dame is more than a Parisian or French monument. It’s also a universal monument,” said historian Damien Berne. “It’s a landmark, a symbol, indicating that in a globalised world everything evolves permanently,” said Berne, a member of the scientific council for the restoration of Notre-Dame.
Victor Hugo helped make the cathedral a symbol of both Paris and France when he used it as a setting for his 1831 novel, “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame”. Quasimodo, the main character, has been portrayed in Hollywood movies, an animated Disney adaptation and in musicals.
The Catholic Church now expects the cathedral to welcome some 15 million visitors annually. The cathedral says that from Saturday, visitors will be able to book a free ticket online, on its website, social media or a dedicated app, to get into the building on the same day or one or two days after booking a ticket. There will also be a queue on the spot for those who want to enter it without a booking. The cathedral has also created an app to help self-guide visits.
32. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. The cathedral started to be constructed in the 12th century.
B. Only the main bell towers were seriously affected by the fire.
C. Someone set fire to the cathedral on the evening of April 15, 2019.
D. After the opening ceremony Macron said the whole world was shaken on April 15.
33. Which can replace the underlined word “portrayed” in the fourth paragraph?
A. Qualified. B. Recorded. C. Played. D. Evaluated.
34. How can visitors enter the cathedral?
A. By using a dedicated app to get a cheaper ticket.
B. By reserving a ticket without paying any money.
C. By donating some money to the Catholic Church.
D. By lining up to purchase a ticket at the scenic spot.
35 What is the best title for the news report?
A. Thousands of expert craftspeople work hard to restore Notre-Dame
B. 860-year old medieval cathedral — a symbol of both France and Paris
C. Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens on Saturday, five years after fire
D. Fire brings entire Gothic masterpiece within minutes of collapse

William was a school student living in a suburban neighborhood. He was seventeen years old. One summer evening, William was getting ready for bed after finishing his assignments when he heard the sounds of fire alarms and screams coming from the outside. He quickly realized that there was a fire in his neighborhood and that his neighbors might be in danger.
He looked outside and saw that one of his neighbors’ houses was on fire. He knew that he had to act quickly to help his neighbors. After calling 911, he ran outside and heard his neighbors’ little son crying inside their burning house. “He must be quite scared and in a dangerous situation,” William thought.
William quickly assessed the situation and found that the house was almost surrounded by the flames (火焰). The best way was through the front door, but it was blocked by the fire as well. He knew that he had to find another way to help the boy escape from the house.
He ran back to his house, grabbed a ladder and then rushed toward his neighbors’ house. He placed the ladder against the second-story window and managed to help the little boy climb down to safety. Once the boy was safe on the ground, William climbed up into the burning house again to see if anyone else was trapped there.
As he made his way through the smoke, he heard cries for help from a bedroom on the third floor. He quickly ran up the stairs and found an elderly woman who was too weak to move. William quickly picked her up and carried her down the stairs and the ladder to safety. By this time, many firemen had arrived, and they did their best to put out the flames.
Looking around, William saw that a few other houses in the neighborhood were also on fire. He was aware that the fire was spreading quickly and that more people needed help. Without hesitation, William joined those firemen, who were working tirelessly to extinguish the flames. He helped elderly neighbors, families with young children, and even pets.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Then William saw one of his neighbors, Mr. Adam, holding a few photos with tears streaming down his face.

William’s good deed quickly spread in the community and beyond.
