Things to Do at the Jersey Shore This Fall
When the calendar flips from August to September, people who live along the Jersey Shore delight in what they call “local summer”. While not every day is warm enough for leisurely relaxing in a beach chair, there is no better time to enjoy a walk along an uncrowded beach.
Here are some great ways to enjoy fall at the Shore.
Flock to Cape May to Go Birding
Each October, for the fall migration, birds and birders fly in from all over North America to the town that National Geographic calls one of the world’s top 10 bird-watching destinations. Join the faithful at the Cape May Hawkwatch to recognize different species, particularly during the Cape May Fall Festival, which runs October 16-19 and features talks, trips and more events.
Watch Whales Migrate Off the Coast
As the water cools, humpback whales breach (跃出水面) and flap their tails off the Jersey Shore as they head south to the Caribbean. Through November, regular whale-watch cruises for tourists are offered by Cape May Whale Watch Center.
Bring the Kids to Storybook Land
Perhaps because it’s a throwback (怀旧风格的事物) to an earlier era or Storybook Land knows how to throw a party, families gather on this amusement park for the Fall Into Fun Festival, featuring hayrides, a pumpkin patch and a maze. The one-price admission also includes unlimited rides for younger children, along with storybook attractions.
Climb a Lighthouse
With the restored Barnegat Lighthouse reopened, there’s no better time than fall to visit lighthouses, enricularly October 18-19 for the Lighthouse Challenge, which encourages people to visit 11 lighthouses, four lifesaving stations, and one museum in two days.
21. What can we learn about the Cape May Fall Festival?
A. It lasts for a whole week.
B. It offers various activities.
C. It is held at a whale-watch center.
D. It promotes different wildlife study.
22. Which is probably the best choice for family gatherings?
A. Storybook Land. B. Barnegat Lighthouse.
C. Cape May Hawkwatch. D. Cape May Whale Watch Center.
23. Who is the passage intended for?
A. Locals seeking for leisure shore activities.
B. Scientists researching whale migration routes.
C. Visitors enjoying a walk on a beach in peak season.
D. Travelers wanting to witness lighthouse restoration.
B
Walk through Adelphi’s campus and you’ll see many species of trees and decorative blooms. Now there’s another garden- the Community Garden- between Linen and Eddy halls. But instead of flowers, this garden grows peppers, lettuce and other vegetables that students are harvesting and donating to the Panther Pantry (食品援助中心) of the community, so their community members can get nutritious produce.
The Community Garden came about thanks to Kelly Andreuzzi, who has a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and a master’s degree in environmental studies. As former president of the Environmental Action Coalition (EAC) and an environmental activist, he led the garden initiative in 2022, with the support of the Center for Student and Community Engagement (SCE). “Community is especially important to me-I have immense passion for empowering my own community and dedicating time to providing services that truly make a difference.”
Erica Gibson, volunteer coordinator of the Panther Pantry, said the food donated is appreciated by the pantry and its patrons (受助者). “We want to supply the people who visit the pantry with fresh ingredients whenever we can to help them add a bit extra to the amazing variety of items we have already provided them,” she said. For example, she cited that the garden’s tomatoes could be used to make fresh tomato sauce to pair with the pantry’s various pastas.
The garden is a great place to learn and be a part of a community. Volunteers gain valuable skills and learn more about themselves. “Working on the Community Garden helped me gain the knowledge and experience to start my own garden at home to provide my family with a sustainable source of produce,” said Kelly. Being able to volunteer here provides students with new perspectives on agriculture and the importance of community. “Agriculture is hard, calculated work- it’s extremely time sensitive and requires an immense amount of consistent care.”
24. What do we know about the Community Garden?
A. It was initiated by Adelphi.
B. It mainly grows decorative flowers.
C. It contributes vegetables to the community.
D. Its produce is harvested by the Panther Pantry.
25. Which of the following can best describe Kelly?
A. Competitive and dedicated.
B. Humorous and passionate.
C. Caring and committed.
D. Patient and knowledgeable.
26. What can be inferred from Erica Gibson’s words?
A. The pantry aims to enrich the food options.
B. Most patrons prefer homemade tomato sauce.
C. Most patrons are amazed at the various items.
D. The pantry only offers tomatoes from the garden.
27. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The knowledge needed in voluntary work.
B. The importance of providing community service.
C. The hard and demanding work involved in agriculture.
D. The benefits of volunteering for the Community Garden.

At the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the over 600-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site, an animation played guards of honor marching at the same pace across a projector screen, their movements in harmony with the graceful melodies of ancient rituals (仪式). “Through virtual and digital display, cultural relics have become ‘alive’, enabling viewers to feel as if they were in ancient times,” said Sun Xiaobing, deputy director of Art Exhibitions China.
In recent years, China has used science and technology to breathe new life into its cultural relics and heritage, enriching people’s lives while also enhancing the nation’s cultural influence. The newly revised cultural relics protection law, issued in March, states firmly that technology, information, digitalization, and digital display should all come to the fore in cultural relic protection.
Cutting-edge technologies like AI, VR and AR provide multidimensional methods for the preservation, application and exhibition of relics, said Li Li, deputy director of the China Academy of Cultural Heritage. In archaeology, the National Cultural Heritage Administration aims to advance technological level, emphasizing genetic analysis, precision dating and other fields.
Zhang Zhiguo, deputy director of the National Centre for Archaeology, said technology has been widely adopted in submarine cultural heritage protection. Archaeologists cover the surface of some fragile artifacts (历史文物) with carbon fiber to strengthen them, so that they can be extracted safely from the underwater environment. Relevant spectroscopy (光谱学) technologies can detect the compound composition of rust on artifacts, contributing to restoration.
Qu Liang, director of the Conservation Standards Department of the Palace Museum, said, “In the past, we only saw the surface of some cultural relics. Through X-ray scanning, we could observe their internal structure in the 3D digital model and eventually better understand their manufacturing process.”
Former UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova noted that China has become a leader in using technology to protect cultural heritage.
28. How does digital display help people understand cultural relics?
A. By restoring broken artifacts. B. By immersing them in ancient lives.
C. By interacting with guards of honor. D. By attracting them to heritage sites.
29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined expression?
A. face more challenges B. rise to dominance
C. play a bigger role D. develop more quickly
30. What do archaeologists do with fragile underwater artifacts?
A. They use X-ray scanning. B. They use a special coating.
C. They build 3D digital models. D. They detect their compound composition.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Digital Display Gains Wide Popularity B. China Leads in Global Heritage Protection
C. China’s Cultural Relics Have Global Influence D. Technology Brings New Life to Cultural Relics
D
Ultra-processed foods have long been associated with obesity and diabetes. But a series of papers published in the May issue of Brain Medicine adds a new threat to the list: these foods are also a significant source of microplastic exposure. And those plastics, scientists warn, may be building up in human brains.
Four interrelated studies in the journal combine years of research on how tiny plastic particles enter the human body and what they might be doing once inside. The evidence is depressing. Not only can microplastics pass through the gut and circulate in the bloodstream, they can also cross the blood-brain barrier, according to multiple studies cited in the new issue.
“Ultra-processed foods now comprise more than 50 percent of energy intake in countries like the United States, and these foods contain significantly higher concentrations of microplastics than whole foods,” Nicholas Fabiano, one of the co-authors, said in a statement. For example, chicken pieces contain nearly 30 times more microplastics per gram than chicken breast. Researchers say this is largely due to the high degree of industrial contact that processed foods have, from plastic packaging to grinding (研磨).
Microplastics are defined as plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. Scientists have found that they may trigger immune responses and mitochondrial (线粒体的) disorder. These are some of the same biological pathways already associated with ultra-processed food consumption.
The links between plastic and brain health are not just theoretical. A 2023 study in Environmental Science & Technology demonstrated that nanoplastics-the smallest of the microplastic class-can alter brain gene expression in mice, leading to anxiety-like behaviors. While the science is still evolving, a 2022 study estimated that the average American consumes more than 50,000 microplastic particles per year. More research is needed, but the connection between ultra-processed food consumption and plastic pollution adds another reason for consumers to rethink their food choices.
32. Why does the author mention the four interrelated studies in paragraph 2?
A. To prove the microplastics can harm the gut.
B. To show his disappointment with the studies.
C. To tell that the microplastics can enter human brains.
D. To introduce methods of reducing microplastic exposure.
33. What is true about ultra-processed foods?
A. They are foods like chicken breast.
B. They are frequently exposed to plastics.
C. They contain fewer microplastics than whole foods.
D. They make up over half of energy intake in most countries.
34. How does the author support the argument in paragraph 5?
A. By showing study results.
B. By describing a research process.
C. By comparing different plastic types.
D. By giving examples of brain health cases.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards ultra-processed foods?
A. Neutral. B. Approving. C. Ambiguous. D. Unfavorable.

How to Distingtrish Fake News
Whether it’s social media or other news reports, it can be hard to know what’s the truth and what’s false. 36 For senior high students, mastering the ability to identify fake news is essential for developing critical thinking. Here are some practical tips.
Clarify fake news with fact-checking sites. It really is a jungle out there when it comes to false facts and the rest or the Internet. 37 Search for new claims on a fact-checking site to find out if the information is accurate.
Do a background check on the author and their references. Research may seem like an annoying extra step, but it doesn’t take as long as you think. 38 Additionally, look for any sources that the article references in the text. A well-researched, factual article will be supported by the facts, and will be written by an educated individual.
39 Cross-check the information from the article or news report and see if it lines up with what the experts are saying. If the article seems to contradict expert findings, it’s likely fake news.
Avoid fake news by reading new information with a skeptic attitude. It may seem a bit negative, but you can protect both yourself and others by reading new information with a more critical eye. Don’t treat any information as fact until you’ve checked the author, website, and sourcing for credibility. It can be a bit time-consuming. 40
Don’t take any content as fact easily. Checking its credibility first can save you a lot of trouble and prevent the spread of fake news among friends and family.
A. Therefore, we should avoid fake news.
B. Compare the article to well-established sources.
C. Check the background information of the author.
D. However, it can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
E. Fake news often weakens our ability to tell facts from fiction.
F. Thankfully, many great resources can help you stay updated on facts.
G. Look for the name of the article’s author and give them a quick search online.

Kat’s world shattered the day her 12-year-old son Nick lost his battle with leukemia (白血病). Nick had been obsessed with toy bricks since he was 4-his bedroom shelves overflowed with brick-built spaceships, castles, and even a tiny replica of their family home, each piece glued with gentle care to stand the test of time.
In the weeks after Nick’s funeral, Kat couldn’t bear to step into his room, let alone look at the toy bricks; they felt like a sharp, painful reminder of the laughter and chatter that no longer filled the quiet house.
One rainy afternoon, as she forced herself to sort through Nick’s things, her fingers accidentally brushed the smooth plastic of a bright red toy brick. A vivid memory flashed: Nick, then 7, grinning widely as he held up a lopsided brick-built dog with uneven legs, saying, “Mom, this one’s for you-he’ll protect you when I’m not around.”
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she clutched the brick tightly. In that moment, Kat made a decision. She called the local children’s hospital, where Nick had spent countless days during his treatment, and asked if they knew a child who loved to v bricks as much as her son once did.
The nurse quickly connected her to 8-year-old Leo, who was fighting brain cancer and rarely smiled these days. When Kat arrived at the hospital with two giant boxes stuffed full of Nick’s beloved toy bricks, Leo’s eyes lit up like Christmas morning, his small face breaking into a shy yet bright grin. “These are… all for me?” he asked, his voice soft with disbelief.
Kat nodded, struggling to hold back her tears as she replied, “They were my son’s. He’d want someone who loves toy bricks as much as he did to have them and make new happy memories with them.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Spotting the bright red brick-built dog, Leo looked up at Kat and asked, “Did your son love this one?”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks later, Kat visited Leo in the hospital and received a new brick-built dog from him, its legs uneven just like those of Nick’s dog.
