As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.

New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time English woman in New York, first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.

Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the "what" and the "why". Second time round, we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained. returning to a book "brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers."

It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we're fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We're changed not only by lived experience but also by reading experience. More than the movie director, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to experience mixed feelings in literature.

Re-reading a book takes up more time, but as mead confirms, the rewards make it extremely worthwhile.

28. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to _________.

A. attract the attention of readers           B. show the similarity between re-readers

C. provide some background information    D. introduce the topic of the passage

29. The underlined expression "crack their spines" in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.

A. re-read them    B. recite them    C. recall them    D. retell them

30. It can be learned from the passage that _________.

A. reading benefits people both physically and mentally

B. we know ourselves better through re-reading experience

C. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading

D. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do

31. The purpose of the passage is to _________.

A. call on different understandings of old books

 B. bring awareness to the significance of re-reading

C. focus on the mental health benefits of reading

D. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books

D

Human activity is changing the surface and temperature of the planet. But new research shows it is also changing the sound of the earth's oceans. Scientists say the changes in the sounds of our oceans affect many underwater animals—from very small fish to huge whales.

Sound travels very far underwater. For fish, sound is probably a better way to sense their environment than light. Sound helps fish and other underwater animals survive. They use sound to communicate with each other. Sound also helps some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters. However, the research suggests that increasing noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other.

The noise is coming from shipping traffic, fishing ships, underwater oil and gas exploration, offshore construction, and other noisy human activities.

Experts explain the term "masking" on its website. "Masking" happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to underwater animals' existence.

The Red Sea is one of the world's most important shipping passages. It is full of large ships traveling to Asia, Europe and Africa. Some fish and other animals now avoid the noisiest areas.

Scientists use underwater equipment to record fish sounds. These sounds are in the same low frequencies as shipping traffic noise. Experts state that "masking" is the most noticeable when a noise is at the same frequency and loudness as biologically important sounds.

Experts say that effects of noise on underwater animals are not well understood. However, some studies suggest that noise may cause hearing loss. The stress from human noise might also affect the immune system-an animal's natural defense system-as well as reproductive health or behavior.

32. What does the research show about the effect of noise on ocean animals?

A. It affects their eyesight.    B. It prevents them traveling around.

C. It disturbs their hearing.    D. It destroys their food for survival.

33. How do sea creatures react to the noisiest areas in the Red Sea?

A. They stay away from them.    B. They are fitting in there.

C. They insist on staying there.    D. They develop ways to stand them.

34. What do we know about the noise in the sea?

A. It is difficult to record.           B. Its full effects remain to be seen.

C. It is the most harmful pollution.    D. It's harder to avoid than other pollution.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Ocean Animals Face Survival Dangers Frequently

B. Underwater Noise Pollution Is Improving

C. Sea Noise Pollution Receives Little Attention

D. Humans Are Making Oceans Too Noisy

How to Reduce Gift Wrap Waste

Wrapping paper may have "paper" in its name, but that doesn't automatically mean it can be recycled.   36   . Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.

Reuse what you have.   37   . It's estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people's homes, awaiting reuse.

Use different materials.   38   . Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children's school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.

   39   . Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots (绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you'll have no wrapping paper waste to deal with.

Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you're out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEO of the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management. companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, "It's a campaign we've been on all year-do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!"   40   .

A. Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies.

B. When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling.

C. Wrapping paper can be used many times if care is taken to unwrap it without tearing.

D. In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials.

E. You don't have to choose shining paper to decorate a present.

F. Shop with that in mind, too.

G. Try zero waste.
