In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus.
The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre (轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man.
Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.”
Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run.’”
Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, “He was responsive but understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him.” Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue.
The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as “heroes” and expressed their gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you, Spandau. Thank you, Berlin.”
4. What was the accident at the bus stop?
A. A teenager got caught under a bus. B. The tyre of a bus suddenly blew out.
C. A young passenger fell from his seat. D. The driver found the bus uncontrollable.
5. What did Frank Kurze do at the rescue scene?
A. He recorded the whole event. B. He stepped forward bravely.
C. He turned to medical staff. D. He called more volunteers in.
6. Which of the following best describes the medical professionals?
A. Tolerant. B. Creative. C. Patient. D. Decisive.
7. What message does the text try to convey?
A. One good turn deserves another. B. Kindness brings mental rewards.
C. Many hands make light work. D. Opportunity is for the prepared.

The African penguin lives on St. Croix island off the east coast of South Africa. A new study has found that they are leaving their natural environment to escape noisy ship refueling (补给燃料) activities.
The African penguins once mainly raised babies on this island. But the population has dropped sharply since South Africa started permitting ships in the area to refuel at sea six years ago, the study found.
Lorien Pichegru is acting director of the Coastal and Marine Research Institute at Nelson Mandela University, which led the study. She said the organization had found that noise levels in the area had doubled since the refueling activities began. Scientists say high noise levels affect the ability of penguins to find and catch other animals for food. Noise also makes it more difficult for them to communicate with each other and map travel paths. “This year we are at 1,200 breeding pairs at St Croix from 8,500 pairs in 2016,” Pichegru said.
The study recently appeared in the publication Science of the Total Environment. The researchers said the study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on a seabird.
Nelson Mandela University’s study collected some data to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. Oil-covered penguins were found in 2019 in Algoa Bay after an oil spill from ship-to-ship refueling. Environmental groups have called for the activities to be banned in the bay.
Pichegru said penguins in the area were already struggling to survive because of a series of issues, including industrial fishing activities. She added that the refueling activities did not kill all the penguins. However, “It was just the thing that made the whole ecology tip over and then the penguins couldn’t cope with that,” she said.
8. What has the new study found about penguins?
A. They have difficulty in raising babies. B. They can get used to noisy ships easily.
C. Their population is on the increase. D. They are forced to leave the natural environment.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The value of Lorien Pichegru’s job. B. The importance of ship refueling activities.
C. The ability of Penguins to find food. D. Bad effects of noises on Penguins.
10. What might Pichegru agree with?
A. The penguins should be put in control.
B. Fishing activities should be greatly encouraged.
C. Refueling activities should be strictly managed.
D. The penguins should develop their survival abilities.
11. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A textbook. D. A magazine.
D
An easily biodegradable(可生物降解的) material that could be “part of a global answer” to singleuse plastic pollution has won its inventor, British designer Lucy Hughes, the international James Dyson Award.
Hughes’ Marina Tex bioplastic is strong and flexible, making it a possible alternative for singleuse packaging such as bags and sandwich wrappers. Its key ingredients are fish scales and skin, so it can break down in home food waste or compost bins.
Hughes created Marina Tex for her finalyear project in the product design course at the University of Sussex. She had set out to create something using waste rather than unused materials, which led her to the UK’s fishing industry. She ran more than 100 experiments to improve the bioplastic mixture, mostly using the kitchen stove in her student accommodation.
The fish scales and skin removed during processing usually end up burnt or buried in landfill. And with “about 500,000 tonnes of such waste produced by the country’s fisheries annually”, it seems possible that Marina Tex could be used largely in industrial production. The material is lowenergy to produce and doesn’t consume the earth’s natural resources considering it’s based on existing waste. It is also strong, boasting a higher tensile(可拉伸的) strength than the current material most commonly used for plastic bags.
British inventor James Dyson, who every year selects the grand prize winner in the international student design competition that bears his name, said that the material had the potential to replace traditional singleuse plastics. “Marina Tex elegantly solves two problems: the ubiquity(无处不在) of singleuse plastics and fish waste,” he said. “Further research and development will ensure that Marina Tex evolves further, and I hope it becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of singleuse plastic waste.”
12. What do we know about Marina Tex bioplastic?
A. It can break down easily. B. It feels pretty hard.
C. It is made from fish. D. It is used globally.
13. Which of the following should be the best title for the text?
A. Existing Fish Waste
B. New Bioplastic Made from Fish Waste
C. An International Student Design Competition
D. Ways to Fight Plastic Pollution
14. Why did Hughes created Marina Tex?
A. To create something special.
B. To run experiments.
C. To promote fishing industry.
D. To finish her project at the university.
15. What does James think of the future of Marina Tex?
A. Promising. B. Costly. C. Dark. D. Uncertain.

Students may also become day students if they are in need (所有学生都住在提供的住宿地点,参加日常下午活动,并且可以选择参加每周前往新英格兰地区高校和大学的校外参观活动。如果需要,学生也可以选择成为走读生)”可知,两者都提供了寄宿和走读两种选择,故选C项。
2题详解】

In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus.
The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre (轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver, who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man.
Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.”
Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run.’”
Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, “He was responsive but understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him.” Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue.
The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as “heroes” and expressed their gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you, Spandau. Thank you, Berlin.”

The African penguin lives on St. Croix island off the east coast of South Africa. A new study has found that they are leaving their natural environment to escape noisy ship refueling (补给燃料) activities.
The African penguins once mainly raised babies on this island. But the population has dropped sharply since South Africa started permitting ships in the area to refuel at sea six years ago, the study found.
Lorien Pichegru is acting director of the Coastal and Marine Research Institute at Nelson Mandela University, which led the study. She said the organization had found that noise levels in the area had doubled since the refueling activities began. Scientists say high noise levels affect the ability of penguins to find and catch other animals for food. Noise also makes it more difficult for them to communicate with each other and map travel paths. “This year we are at 1,200 breeding pairs at St Croix from 8,500 pairs in 2016,” Pichegru said.
The study recently appeared in the publication Science of the Total Environment. The researchers said the study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on a seabird.
Nelson Mandela University’s study collected some data to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. Oil-covered penguins were found in 2019 in Algoa Bay after an oil spill from ship-to-ship refueling. Environmental groups have called for the activities to be banned in the bay.
Pichegru said penguins in the area were already struggling to survive because of a series of issues, including industrial fishing activities. She added that the refueling activities did not kill all the penguins. However, “It was just the thing that made the whole ecology tip over and then the penguins couldn’t cope with that,” she said.
8. What has the new study found about penguins?
A. They have difficulty in raising babies. B. They can get used to noisy ships easily.
C. Their population is on the increase. D. They are forced to leave the natural environment.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The value of Lorien Pichegru’s job. B. The importance of ship refueling activities.
C. The ability of Penguins to find food. D. Bad effects of noises on Penguins.
10. What might Pichegru agree with?
A. The penguins should be put in control.
B. Fishing activities should be greatly encouraged.
C Refueling activities should be strictly managed.
D. The penguins should develop their survival abilities.
11. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A textbook. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】

Noise also makes it more difficult for them to communicate with each other and map travel paths.(她说,该组织发现,自加油活动开始以来,该地区的噪音水平翻了一番。科学家表示,高噪音水平会影响企鹅寻找和捕捉其他动物作为食物的能力。噪音也使它们之间的交流和绘制旅行路线变得更加困难。)”可知文章第三段主要讲的是噪音对于企鹅的不好影响。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Pichegru said penguins in the area were already struggling to survive because of a series of issues, including industrial fishing activities. She added that the refueling activities did not kill all the penguins. However, “It was just the thing that made the whole ecology tip over and then the penguins couldn’t cope with that,” she said.( Pichegru说,由于工业捕鱼活动等一系列问题,该地区的企鹅已经难以生存。她补充说,加油活动并没有杀死所有的企鹅。然而,“这是一件让整个生态系统崩溃的事情,而企鹅无法应对,”她说。)”可以推断Pichegru认为嘈杂的船舶加油活动是一件最终会让企鹅的无法面对的事情,所以她应该赞同对这一类活动进行严格管理。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The study recently appeared in the publication Science of the Total Environment. The researchers said the study is the first to explore the effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on a seabird.(这项研究最近发表在《全环境科学》杂志上。研究人员表示,这项研究是首次探索海洋交通噪音污染对海鸟的影响。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲的是一项新的研究发现为了逃避嘈杂的船舶加油活动,生活在南非东海岸附近的圣克罗伊岛的非洲企鹅正在离开它们的自然环境,所以文章最有可能出自一篇杂志。故选D项。

An easily biodegradable(可生物降解的) material that could be “part of a global answer” to singleuse plastic pollution has won its inventor, British designer Lucy Hughes, the international James Dyson Award.
Hughes’ Marina Tex bioplastic is strong and flexible, making it a possible alternative for singleuse packaging such as bags and sandwich wrappers. Its key ingredients are fish scales and skin, so it can break down in home food waste or compost bins.
Hughes created Marina Tex for her finalyear project in the product design course at the University of Sussex. She had set out to create something using waste rather than unused materials, which led her to the UK’s fishing industry. She ran more than 100 experiments to improve the bioplastic mixture, mostly using the kitchen stove in her student accommodation.
The fish scales and skin removed during processing usually end up burnt or buried in landfill. And with “about 500,000 tonnes of such waste produced by the country’s fisheries annually”, it seems possible that Marina Tex could be used largely in industrial production. The material is lowenergy to produce and doesn’t consume the earth’s natural resources considering it’s based on existing waste. It is also strong, boasting a higher tensile(可拉伸的) strength than the current material most commonly used for plastic bags.
British inventor James Dyson, who every year selects the grand prize winner in the international student design competition that bears his name, said that the material had the potential to replace traditional singleuse plastics. “Marina Tex elegantly solves two problems: the ubiquity(无处不在) of singleuse plastics and fish waste,” he said. “Further research and development will ensure that Marina Tex evolves further, and I hope it becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of singleuse plastic waste.”
12. What do we know about Marina Tex bioplastic?
A. It can break down easily. B. It feels pretty hard.
C. It is made from fish. D. It is used globally.
13. Which of the following should be the best title for the text?
A. Existing Fish Waste
B. New Bioplastic Made from Fish Waste
C. An International Student Design Competition
D. Ways to Fight Plastic Pollution
14. Why did Hughes created Marina Tex?
A. To create something special.
B. To run experiments.
C. To promote fishing industry.
D. To finish her project at the university.
15. What does James think of the future of Marina Tex?
A. Promising. B. Costly. C. Dark. D. Uncertain.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

Students’ Union
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Recently it’s common to see some uncivilized practices on campus such as littering and wasting resources. I, on behalf of the Student Union, would like to call on everyone to contribute to an eco-friendly campus.
Firstly, we should make recycling as easy as possible. A simple way to do this is bearing garbage classification in mind, throwing different kinds of waste into different dustbins.
Secondly, conserve water, electricity and paper. For example, turn off the tap and the lights when not in use, and reuse used paper on the back, thus reducing waste of resources.
Let’s make the campus a greener place! Only through joint efforts can we achieve this goal.
