Four great hotels in America
The Lancaster Hotel
It lies in the big city of Houston, Texas. Like many other hotels, it offers tiny touches like free soft drinks, free breakfast and free car service. This historic hotel dates back to the 1920s. Moreover, its room walls are designed with plenty of valuable original contemporary (现代) paintings, which makes the hotel unique in Houston.
The total cost for two people per night is ¥1,200, but people can enjoy a 6% discount now.
Stephanie Inn
Lying on Cannon Beach, Oregon, Stephanie Inn is a great place to stay for the night. However, you’d better stay here for two days—one day to walk along the sand and explore the beach and another to enjoy the fantastic shops of downtown Cannon Beach. The moment you walk through the door, you’re treated like family. Be sure to make reservations (预订) for dinner.
The total cost for two people per night is ¥950, but people can enjoy a 4% discount now.
Salish Lodge and Spa
It lies outside the town of Snoqualmie, Washington State. You can enjoy free breakfast and car service.

The hotel was once used as a place to shoot the popular television show, Twin Peaks. One of the show’s main actors is Kyle MacLachlan.
The total cost for two people per night is ¥2,500, but people can enjoy a 5% discount now.
The Giacomo
Close to attractions such as the Aquarium of Niagara, New York State, the Giacomo is housed in a building built in 1929 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for years. The NRHP is the U. S. federal government’s official list of things thought worthy of preservation for their historical significance.

A young Los Angeles (L. A.) actor in need of a second job to pay his bills has come up with a brilliant way to increase his income — people walking.
Chuck McCarthy originally considered becoming a dog walker to earn some extra cash, but soon realized that the job required more than walking dogs on a leash (皮带). “I don’t want to pick up dog waste, and that’s kind of what you are really being paid for, for dog walking,” he said. But people don’t usually poop when they take a walk, so Chuck realized there was money to be made if he walked people around Los Angeles instead.
It might sound like a joke, but the People Walker, as he calls himself, is very serious about his new job. For $7 per mile, he offers to walk with customers around L. A., listening to their problems or simply making conversation and offering them a sense of safety.
His services are aimed at people who need to be motivated to go walking, those who don’t feel safe walking alone in some areas, and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends.
“Upon request, I wear my The People Walker shirt when walking with a new customer for the first time, so they can be 100% sure it’s me,” Chuck says. However, he admits that some people don’t agree to this policy, as they don’t necessarily want everyone to know that they are being walked.
Believe it or not, Chuck’s business has been very successful. He already has another five people walkers employed, covering various areas, like downtown L. A., Hollywood, Eagle Rock, Las Feliz or Fairefax. Once he posted signs around the city, his phone started ringing and customers began rolling in. And with all the free publicity he has been getting in the press lately, he has been overwhelmed (应接不暇的) with requests.
19. What does Chuck do when taking a walk with his customers?
A. He mainly provides them with spiritual comfort.
B. He mainly supplies them with the latest news.
C. He mainly tells them some amusing stories.
D. He mainly informs them of his acting skills.
20. How does Chuck treat the job?
A. Easily. B. Impatiently. C. Jokingly. D. Sincerely.
21. What does the author speak of in the fourth and the fifth paragraphs?
A. What kind of people Chuck prefers to employ.
B. The reason why some people don’t favour the deal.
C. How to make friends and get along well with them.
D. What customers must pay attention to when walking.
22. What might be “Las Feliz” underlined in the last paragraph?
A. A present. B. A pet. C. A place. D. An advertisement.
【答案】19. A 20. D 21. B 22. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了演员Chuck开展陪人散步业务且取得成功的事。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“For $7 per mile, he offers to walk with customers around L. A., listening to their problems or simply making conversation and offering them a sense of safety. (他以每英里7美元的价格,主动提出陪顾客在洛杉矶各处散步,倾听他们的烦恼,或是简单聊聊天,给他们提供安全感)” 可知,Chuck陪客户散步时会倾听他们的问题、聊天并给他们安全感,也就是在精神上给予他们安慰。故选A。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It might sound like a joke, but the People Walker, as he calls himself, is very serious about his new job. (这听起来可能像个笑话,但这位自称“行人引导员”的人对他的新工作非常认真)”可知,Chuck对他的工作非常认真。故选D。
【21题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“His services are aimed at people who need to be motivated to go walking, those who don’t feel safe walking alone in some areas, and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends. (他的服务面向那些需要有人激励才能去散步的人、那些在某些地区独自走路时感到不安全的人,以及那些担心别人看到自己独自行走会以为自己没有朋友的人)”及第五段““Upon request, I wear my The People Walker shirt when walking with a new customer for the first time, so they can be 100% sure it’s me,” Chuck says. However, he admits that some people don’t agree to this policy, as they don’t necessarily want everyone to know that they are being walked. (“应客户要求,我会在第一次陪同新客户走路时穿上我的行人引导员T恤,这样他们就能百分之百确定是我。”Chuck说道。然而,他承认有些人并不赞同这一做法,因为他们并不希望所有人都知道自己需要有人陪着走路)”说明了Chuck的服务对象中有人不赞成他穿着特定衬衫这一做法的原因,也就是有些人不喜欢这个业务的原因。故选B。
【22题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“He already has another five people walkers employed, covering various areas, like downtown L. A., Hollywood, Eagle Rock (他已经在各地雇佣了另外五名行人引导员,覆盖的区域包括洛杉矶市中心、好莱坞、鹰岩)”及“Fairefax (费尔法克斯)”可知,“downtown L. A., Hollywood, Eagle Rock”和“Fairefax”都是表示地点的词,所以“Las Feliz”也应该是一个地方。 故选C。
C
Almost every mother has said it: Wear a jacket, or you’ll catch a cold! Is she right? Probably not. Staying in the moderate (适度的) cold temperature for a short time doesn’t increase your chances of getting an infection (感染). There are two reasons why winter is a cold and flu season. In winter, people spend more time indoors, in closer contact with other people who can pass on the germs (细菌). Also the virus stays in the air longer when air is cold and less wet.
But researchers remain interested in this question in different populations. Some experiments with mice suggest that staying in the cold temperature might reduce their ability to deal with infection. But what about humans? Scientists have performed experiments in which volunteers were briefly in the cold water or spent short periods of time in sub-freezing temperatures. They’ve studied people who lived in Antarctica and those exploring in Canada. The results have been mixed. For example, researchers recorded an increasing upper respiratory infections in competitive cross-country skiers who do more exercise in the cold, but whether these infections are due to the cold or other things — such as the intense exercise or the dryness of the air — is not known.
A group of Canadian researchers have reviewed hundreds of medical studies on the subject and conducted some of its own research. They conclude that there’s no need to worry about moderate cold — it has no harmful effect on the human immune (免疫的) system. Should you wear quite warm clothes when it’s cold outside? The answer is yes if you feel uncomfortable, or if you’re outdoors for a long period of time. But don’t worry about immunity.
23. For what reason does the author mention every mother’s saying?
A. To stress the importance of wearing warm clothes.
B. To appreciate mothers’ reasonable views.
C. To prove the new finding.
D. To lead in a topic.
24. Why are some cross-country skiers infected?
A. There are no definite reasons. B. They do too much intense exercise.
C. There are no warm clothes to wear. D. They stay long in the dry environment.
25. What can be concluded from the experiment with the mice?
A. They tend to be infected if they are hungry.
B. They can be badly affected by very cold weather.
C. They prefer a warmer environment to a cooler one.
D. They might be adapted to changing weather quickly.
26. What does the last paragraph concentrate on?
A. How can people properly do outdoor exercise?
B. What can have an effect on the human immune system?
C. Under what conditions should people be dressed in warm clothes?
D. In what way can people prevent infections when staying outdoors?
【答案】23. D 24. A 25. B 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了寒冷天气与感冒之间的关系,以及不同研究对于该问题的探索和结论。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Almost every mother has said it: Wear a jacket, or you’ll catch a cold! Is she right? Probably not. Staying in the moderate (适度的) cold temperature for a short time doesn’t increase your chances of getting an infection (感染). There are two reasons why winter is a cold and flu season. In winter, people spend more time indoors, in closer contact with other people who can pass on the germs ( 细菌). Also the virus stays in the air longer when air is cold and less wet.(几乎每个母亲都说过:穿件夹克,否则你会感冒的!她是对的吗?可能不对。在中等低温的环境中短暂停留并不会增加感染的几率。冬天是感冒和流感的季节有两个原因。在冬天,人们花更多的时间在室内,与其他可以传播细菌的人有更密切的接触。此外,当空气寒冷和不那么潮湿时,病毒在空气中停留的时间更长)” 可知,作者提及母亲们常说的话是为了引出寒冷天气与感冒关系这一话题。故选D。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段 “For example, researchers recorded an increasing upper respiratory infections in competitive cross-country skiers who do more exercise in the cold, but whether these infections are due to the cold or other things — such as the intense exercise or the dryness of the air — is not known.(例如,研究人员记录到,在寒冷环境中进行更多锻炼的越野滑雪运动员上呼吸道感染增多,但这些感染是由于寒冷还是其他原因 —— 如剧烈运动或空气干燥 —— 尚不清楚)” 可知,越野滑雪者被感染的原因并不明确。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 “Some experiments with mice suggest that staying in the cold temperature might reduce their ability to deal with infection.(一些对老鼠的实验表明,处于寒冷的温度中可能会降低它们应对感染的能力)” 可推知,寒冷天气可能会对老鼠产生不良影响。故选B。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Should you wear quite warm clothes when it’s cold outside? The answer is yes if you feel uncomfortable, or if you’re outdoors for a long period of time.(当外面很冷的时候,你应该穿很暖和的衣服吗?如果你感到不舒服,或者你在户外待很长时间,答案是肯定的。)” 可知,最后一段主要讨论了人们在什么情况下应该穿暖和的衣服。故选C。

Shortly after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Dingri county in Southwest China’s Xizang autonomous region on Jan 7, Air China, the nation’s flag carrier, took action to supply necessary airlift assistance, ensuring that key personnel and supplies quickly reached the most heavily affected areas.
About five and a half hours after the earthquake, Air China’s CA4431 flight landed at Dingri Airport. It was the first flight to arrive in the county after the disaster (灾害), carrying relief (救济) personnel and supplies. Over the following two days, the airline continued its support by transporting rescue teams and relief supplies, including medicine, to the disaster zone and its vicinity.
On the morning of Jan 8, a disaster relief flight, CA049, flew 42 airport support personnel from Lhasa, the capital city of the Xizang autonomous region, to Dingri to provide support for rescue operations.
Later that day, in response to a request from the China Foundation for Rural Development to transport disaster relief supplies, Air China established a green channel for the task and worked overnight to organize operations and adjust aircraft capacity (能力). On Jan 9, flight CA4401 transported 6 metric tons of tents provided by the foundation from Chengdu, the capital city of Southwest China’s Sichuan province, to Lhasa. The tents were handed over to the local government upon arrival and then sent to the disaster-stricken area.
Air China immediately started its emergency response plan and set up a task force concentrating on relief efforts following the earthquake. The task force focused on arranging rescue flights, managing flight changes and cancellations, and preparing critical supplies such as meals and oxygen bottles, according to the company.
The airline increased its capacity for transporting relief supplies by using larger aircraft. Additionally, special policies were introduced for flights to the Xizang autonomous region, and relevant information was made available on the airline’s official website, mobile application, and WeChat mini-program. The earthquake hit Dingri county at 9:05 am on Jan 7 from a depth of 10 kilometers.
27. What does the underlined word “vicinity” in the second paragraph mean?

A. Some medicine. B. Some oxygen bottles.
C. A large number of tents. D. A large quantity of food supplies.
29. How did Air China improve its capacity for carrying relief goods?
A. By sending bigger airplanes.
B. By making use of more helicopters.
C. By using airports closer to the region for takeoff.
D. By arranging for airplanes to fly to the region more frequently.
30. What can be the best title for the news report?

Humor is a universal language. ____31____. A great example of this is Australia.
In Australia, people enjoy making jokes about each other as a way to amuse themselves or others or lighten the mood. For example, “What has happened to your hair? It looks like a bird’s nest.” ____32____. However, in Australia, such jokes indicate closeness and comfort between friends. The closer you are to someone, the more honest you can be. After such a comment, your friend will likely laugh and appreciate your honesty. And they will fix their “bird’s nest” hairstyle.
____33____. An Australian might say, “When I sing, it sounds like two cats fighting on the street.” Australians enjoy teasing (取笑) themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings. This way of making people laugh shows they don’t take themselves too seriously. ____34____. Some believe this humor dates back to Australia’s history of prisoners who went against ideas of social hierarchy (等级制度) and class distinctions.
Sarcasm (讽刺) is also a popular form of humor in Australia. A tour guide might joke with a straight face, “On our last shark-watching tour, we left with 20 passengers, but only five came back. I really have no idea what happened to the other 15.” Tourists unfamiliar with Australian humor might believe this was a serious statement. ____35____.
A. This makes them more approachable
B. Try to find fun in everyday situations
C. Avoid laughing at people who are in trouble
D. But each country or culture has its unique style
E. In other cultures, saying this could be risky or annoying
F. Self-deprecation (自嘲) is another key part of Australian humor
G. They were likely to imagine the missing passengers were eaten by sharks
【答案】31. D 32. E 33. F 34. A 35. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了幽默虽是通用语言,但澳大利亚有着独特的幽默文化,包括朋友间互相打趣、自嘲以及讽刺等形式。

根据文章第 1 段 “Humor is a universal language.(幽默是一种通用语言)” 以及下文“In Australia, people enjoy making jokes about each other as a way to amuse themselves or others or lighten the mood.(在澳大利亚,人们喜欢互相开玩笑来娱乐自己或他人,或缓和气氛)” 可知,此处需要一个承上启下的句子,引出澳大利亚独特的幽默风格。故D选项“但每个国家或文化都有其独特的风格”符合语境。故选D。
【32题详解】
根据下文“However, in Australia, such jokes indicate closeness and comfort between friends.(然而,在澳大利亚,这样的笑话表明了朋友之间的亲密和自在)”中 “However” 表示转折,说明前文提到的在其他文化中,类似的笑话可能有不同的含义。故E选项“在其他文化中,这样说可能会有风险或令人讨厌”切题。故选E。
33题详解】
根据下文“An Australian might say, “When I sing, it sounds like two cats fighting on the street.” Australians enjoy teasing (取笑) themselves, sharing embarrassing moments or making light of their own shortcomings.(一个澳大利亚人可能会说:“我唱歌的时候,听起来就像两只猫在街上打架”澳大利亚人喜欢自嘲,分享尴尬的时刻或轻视自己的缺点。)” 可知,此段主要围绕澳大利亚人自嘲的幽默方式展开。故F选项“自嘲是澳大利亚幽默的另一个重要组成部分”符合语境。故选F。
【34题详解】
根据第三段“This way of making people laugh shows they don’t take themselves too seriously.(这种逗人发笑的方式表明他们不把自己看得太严肃)” 可知,选项承接上文说明逗人发笑的方式的作用。故A选项“这种态度会让他们显得更平易近人,容易接近”符合语境。故选A。
【35题详解】
根据上文“Sarcasm (讽刺) is also a popular form of humor in Australia. A tour guide might joke with a straight face, “On our last shark-watching tour, we left with 20 passengers, but only five came back. I really have no idea what happened to the other 15.” Tourists unfamiliar with Australian humor might believe this was a serious statement.(一位导游可能会面无表情地开玩笑说:“在上一次观鲨之旅中,我们出发时有 20 名乘客,但只有 5 人回来。我真的不知道其他 15 人发生了什么事”不熟悉澳大利亚幽默的游客可能会认为这是一个严肃的陈述)” 可知,选项承接上文说明不熟悉澳大利亚幽默的游客很可能会按照字面意思去理解,想象失踪的乘客被鲨鱼吃掉了。故G选项“他们很可能认为失踪的乘客是被鲨鱼吃掉了”符合语境。故选G。

In America, in 1988, Samuel, who was one of the local ____61____ (resident), sent his son, Armand, to school. Samuel hugged the boy gently. ____62____ (look) the boy in the eye, Samuel said, “Have a good day, and remember, I’ll always be there for you if necessary.”
Hours later, so horrible ____63____ earthquake happened. Samuel tried to discover what had happened to his son, but he couldn’t get any information. Samuel as well as other parents instantly headed for the schoolyard. When he reached the area, all that he saw brought tears to his eyes. With the school ____64____ (destroy) completely, it was a pile of debris (碎片) then. Having found the location ____65____ Armand’s classroom used to stay, Samuel began pulling a broken rock off the pile and put it to the side, and then grabbed another one.
One of the parents standing nearby asked, “What are you doing?” “Digging for my son. Broken stones and bricks ____66____ (remove) by me now,” Samuel answered. The man then said, “You will make things worse! The building is so unstable as to fall down at any time.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了1988年美国发生地震后,居民塞缪尔在学校废墟中坚持不懈挖掘,最终成功救出儿子及其他14个孩子的故事。
【61题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:1988 年,在美国,当地居民之一塞缪尔送他的儿子阿曼德去上学。“one of + 可数名词复数” 表示 “…… 之一”,是固定用法,故填residents。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:看着男孩的眼睛,塞缪尔说:“祝你度过愉快的一天,记住,如果有必要,我会一直在你身边。”句子主语Samuel与look之间是主动关系,即Samuel发出look这个动作,且look与谓语动词said同时发生。现在分词作伴随状语,首字母大写。故填Looking。
【63题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:几个小时后,一场可怕的地震发生了。“earthquake”是可数名词,在文中首次提及,表示“一场地震”。不定冠词用于可数名词单数前,“earthquake”以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:学校被完全摧毁了,那时它成了一堆废墟。 “With the school 4 (destroy) completely”是with复合结构,“the school”是宾语,所填内容作宾语补足语。“school”与“destroy”之间是被动关系,即学校被摧毁,所以可以用过去分词destroyed作宾语补足语。同时,“学校被摧毁” 这个动作发生在 “it was a pile of debris then”之前,现在分词的完成被动式 having been destroyed也可作宾语补足语,表示动作先于主句动作发生。故填(having been) destroyed。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:找到了阿曼德教室曾经所在的位置后,塞缪尔开始从废墟中搬走一块破碎的石头并把它放到一边,然后又抓起另一块。空处引导定语从句,先行词是“the location”,在从句中作地点状语,关系副词where,故填where。
【66题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:碎石和砖块现在正在被我移走。由时间状语“now”可知,句子时态为现在进行时,表示当前正在进行的动作。“Broken stones and bricks”与“remove”之间是被动关系,故填are being removed。
【67题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:尽管如此,塞缪尔还是继续工作。“in spite of”是固定短语,意为“尽管,不顾”。首字母大写。故填In。
【68题详解】
考查名词。句意:最后,令他非常满意的是,他看到了他的儿子。“to one’s + 名词”是固定搭配,意为“令某人…… 的是”。“satisfy”是动词,其名词形式是satisfaction。不可数。故填satisfaction。
69题详解】
考查副词。句意:“出来吧,儿子!我急切地在找你。” 他兴奋地说。 “searching”是动词,修饰动词要用副词。“eager”是形容词,其副词形式是eagerly,意为 “急切地,渴望地”,用来修饰动词searching。故填eagerly。
【70题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在所有14个孩子在灾难中幸存下来后,他们都非常感激塞缪尔救了他们。“were”是系动词,系动词后接形容词作表语。“gratitude”是名词,其形容词形式是grateful,“be grateful to sb. for doing sth.”是固定短语,意为 “因某人做某事而感激某人”,故填grateful。

Four great hotels in America
The Lancaster Hotel
It lies in the big city of Houston, Texas. Like many other hotels, it offers tiny touches like free soft drinks, free breakfast and free car service. This historic hotel dates back to the 1920s. Moreover, its room walls are designed with plenty of valuable original contemporary (现代的) paintings, which makes the hotel unique in Houston.
The total cost for two people per night is ¥1,200, but people can enjoy a 6% discount now.
Stephanie Inn
Lying on Cannon Beach, Oregon, Stephanie Inn is a great place to stay for the night. However, you’d better stay here for two days—one day to walk along the sand and explore the beach and another to enjoy the fantastic shops of downtown Cannon Beach. The moment you walk through the door, you’re treated like family. Be sure to make reservations (预订) for dinner.
The total cost for two people per night is ¥950, but people can enjoy a 4% discount now.
Salish Lodge and Spa
It lies outside the town of Snoqualmie, Washington State. You can enjoy free breakfast and car service. The chef in the hotel’s restaurant grows much of its produce on-site, and everything else on the delicious menu is sourced (获得) as locally as possible. The hotel was once used as a place to shoot the popular television show, Twin Peaks. One of the show’s main actors is Kyle MacLachlan.
The total cost for two people per night is ¥2,500, but people can enjoy a 5% discount now.
The Giacomo
Close to attractions such as the Aquarium of Niagara, New York State, the Giacomo is housed in a building built in 1929 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for years. The NRHP is the U. S. federal government’s official list of things thought worthy of preservation for their historical significance.

A young Los Angeles (L. A.) actor in need of a second job to pay his bills has come up with a brilliant way to increase his income — people walking.
Chuck McCarthy originally considered becoming a dog walker to earn some extra cash, but soon realized that the job required more than walking dogs on a leash (皮带). “I don’t want to pick up dog waste, and that’s kind of what you are really being paid for, for dog walking,” he said. But people don’t usually poop when they take a walk, so Chuck realized there was money to be made if he walked people around Los Angeles instead.
It might sound like a joke, but the People Walker, as he calls himself, is very serious about his new job. For $7 per mile, he offers to walk with customers around L. A., listening to their problems or simply making conversation and offering them a sense of safety.
His services are aimed at people who need to be motivated to go walking, those who don’t feel safe walking alone in some areas, and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends.
“Upon request, I wear my The People Walker shirt when walking with a new customer for the first time, so they can be 100% sure it’s me,” Chuck says. However, he admits that some people don’t agree to this policy, as they don’t necessarily want everyone to know that they are being walked.
Believe it or not, Chuck’s business has been very successful. He already has another five people walkers employed, covering various areas, like downtown L. A., Hollywood, Eagle Rock, Las Feliz or Fairefax. Once he posted signs around the city, his phone started ringing and customers began rolling in. And with all the free publicity he has been getting in the press lately, he has been overwhelmed (应接不暇的) with requests.
19. What does Chuck do when taking a walk with his customers?
A. He mainly provides them with spiritual comfort.
B. He mainly supplies them with the latest news.
C. He mainly tells them some amusing stories.
D. He mainly informs them of his acting skills.
20. How does Chuck treat the job?
A. Easily. B. Impatiently. C. Jokingly. D. Sincerely.
21. What does the author speak of in the fourth and the fifth paragraphs?
A. What kind of people Chuck prefers to employ.
B. The reason why some people don’t favour the deal.
C. How to make friends and get along well with them.
D. What customers must pay attention to when walking.
22. What might be “Las Feliz” underlined in the last paragraph?
A. A present. B. A pet. C. A place. D. An advertisement.
C
Almost every mother has said it: Wear a jacket, or you’ll catch a cold! Is she right? Probably not. Staying in the moderate (适度的) cold temperature for a short time doesn’t increase your chances of getting an infection (感染). There are two reasons why winter is a cold and flu season. In winter, people spend more time indoors, in closer contact with other people who can pass on the germs (细菌). Also the virus stays in the air longer when air is cold and less wet.
But researchers remain interested in this question in different populations. Some experiments with mice suggest that staying in the cold temperature might reduce their ability to deal with infection. But what about humans? Scientists have performed experiments in which volunteers were briefly in the cold water or spent short periods of time in sub-freezing temperatures. They’ve studied people who lived in Antarctica and those exploring in Canada. The results have been mixed. For example, researchers recorded an increasing upper respiratory infections in competitive cross-country skiers who do more exercise in the cold, but whether these infections are due to the cold or other things — such as the intense exercise or the dryness of the air — is not known.
A group of Canadian researchers have reviewed hundreds of medical studies on the subject and conducted some of its own research. They conclude that there’s no need to worry about moderate cold — it has no harmful effect on the human immune (免疫的) system. Should you wear quite warm clothes when it’s cold outside? The answer is yes if you feel uncomfortable, or if you’re outdoors for a long period of time. But don’t worry about immunity.
23. For what reason does the author mention every mother’s saying?
A. To stress the importance of wearing warm clothes.
B. To appreciate mothers’ reasonable views.
C. To prove the new finding.
D. To lead in a topic.
24. Why are some cross-country skiers infected?
A. There are no definite reasons. B. They do too much intense exercise.
C. There are no warm clothes to wear. D. They stay long in the dry environment.
25. What can be concluded from the experiment with the mice?
A. They tend to be infected if they are hungry.
B. They can be badly affected by very cold weather.
C. They prefer a warmer environment to a cooler one.
D. They might be adapted to changing weather quickly.
26. What does the last paragraph concentrate on?
A. How can people properly do outdoor exercise?
B. What can have an effect on the human immune system?
C. Under what conditions should people be dressed in warm clothes?
D. In what way can people prevent infections when staying outdoors?
D
Shortly after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Dingri county in Southwest China’s Xizang autonomous region on Jan 7, Air China, the nation’s flag carrier, took action to supply necessary airlift assistance, ensuring that key personnel and supplies quickly reached the most heavily affected areas.
About five and a half hours after the earthquake, Air China’s CA4431 flight landed at Dingri Airport. It was the first flight to arrive in the county after the disaster (灾害), carrying relief (救济) personnel and supplies. Over the following two days, the airline continued its support by transporting rescue teams and relief supplies, including medicine, to the disaster zone and its vicinity.

The tents were handed over to the local government upon arrival and then sent to the disaster-stricken area.
Air China immediately started its emergency response plan and set up a task force concentrating on relief efforts following the earthquake. The task force focused on arranging rescue flights, managing flight changes and cancellations, and preparing critical supplies such as meals and oxygen bottles, according to the company.
The airline increased its capacity for transporting relief supplies by using larger aircraft. Additionally special policies were introduced for flights to the Xizang autonomous region, and relevant information was made available on the airline’s official website, mobile application, and WeChat mini-program. The earthquake hit Dingri county at 9:05 am on Jan 7 from a depth of 10 kilometers.

A. By sending bigger airplanes.
B. By making use of more helicopters.
