When I mved t nrthern New Jersey in 2012 and tk a sftware test engineering jb in midtwn Manhattan, I suddenly fund myself with an hur-lng bus cmmute. I'd slved newspaper crssrd puzzles fr many years, but I had little patience and wasn't very gd. S when I started my crsswrding again during thse lng trips, I was determined t becme a better slver. Hwever, after nticing that all f The New Yrk Times puzzles had bylines(署名行),I figured, “Why culdn't ne f them be mine?”
I bught crsswrd cnstructin sftware and a dictinary f valid crsswrd puzzle entries. I started with a blank 15×15 grid (网格). After reading, rereading, and mre rereading f my puzzle, I decided that it was as gd as it was ever ging t be. S I sent it ff t The Times and anxiusly waited fr their respnse. Several weeks later, I received an email frm a staffer writing n behalf f editr Will Shrtz. His answer was basic,“Thanks, but n thanks.” What's wrse, I received nearly the same rejectin frm Shrtz and his clleagues fr the next several puzzles I submitted.
Then I fund my way t the Crsswrd Puzzle Cllabratin Directry grup n Facebk.In the grup I cnnected with Mark, a mre experienced cnstructr wh became my teacher. After making sme edits fr my 21×21 grid at Mark's suggestin, I sent the puzzle ff t The New Yrk Times. A few mnths later, I gt smething new in my inbx: an actual acceptance message frm The New Yrk Times! They changed sme f the clues t be mre straightfrward. Anyway, my hard wrk finally paid ff. Naturally, I tld all my friends and family t get a cpy f the paper n the publicatin date, March 21,2021.
Nw I've made a lt in my spare time. Even if cnstructing a puzzle feels like an impssible task frm time t time, it's prbably nt. Very few things in life are truly impssible.

Wrldwide, there are mre than a thusand mistlete (槲寄生) species. They grw n every cntinent except Antarctica. They are parasites(寄生物) and live n the branches f their plant “hsts”, absrbing water and nutrients t survive. They accmplish this thievery via a specialized structure that infects their hsts. In fact, they infect plants f all kinds, including themselves—a number f species have been dcumented parasitizing ther mistlete species.
Yet despite their parasitism, mistlete species may well be the Rbin Hds f plants.(Rbin Hd is a character in ld English stries wh lives in a frest with a grup f friends and steals mney frm rich peple in rder t give it t pr peple.) They prvide fd, shelter and hunting grunds fr ther animals. Fallen mistlete leaves release nutrients int the frest flr that wuld therwise remain lcked within trees, and this genersity benefits the fd chain. “Yes, eclgically, they are cheats, ”says David Watsn, a cmmunity eclgist at Charles Sturt University at Albury-Wdnga, Australia. But they share their wealth. “They steal these nutrients, and then they drp them,” Watsn says.
Mistlete species depend critically n animals t get arund. Mst mistlete fruits are berries cntaining a single seed that's surrunded by a sticky layer. Rughly 90 bird species are knwn t cnsume mistlete species' seeds, s the birds can pass them t ther trees n their bdies, r when they are eaten, seeds are passed thrugh their waste. (There are exceptins: Sme mistlete species make explsive fruits that send their seeds tward nearby trees, reaching distances f 10 meters r mre.)
Scientists have knwn that mistlete species all have ancestrs that were parasites nt n branches, but n rts. “They evlved ver and ver and ver, and this understry, rt-parasitic, shrubby thing switched t being an aerial(meaning they infect abve-grund plant parts, rather than rts), parasitic shrubby thing,” Watsn says. Mving up the tree helped t slve a prblem that all plants are faced with: cmpeting fr sunlight. Despite their parasitic nature, mst mistlete species still use energy frm light t make their fd.
28. What can we learn abut mistlete species accrding t paragraph 1?
A. They are highly independent.
B. They are harmful t their hsts.
C. They can be fund n every cntinent.
D. They prefer t live n the rts f plants.
29. In what way are mistlete species similar t Rbin Hd?
A. They help prly grwn trees absrb mre nutrients.
B. They have remarkable abilities t survive in the frest.
C. They live in the frest with ther plant species in grups.
D. They steal and give fd t many ther living things.
30. Hw d mst mistlete species spread their seeds?
A. With the help f birds.
B. By making explsive fruits.
C. With the help f nearby trees.
D. By taking advantage f hsts' seeds.
31. What des Watsn tell us abut the evlutinary develpment f mistlete species?
A. They eventually evlved int shrubby plants.
B. Their habitats changed frm rts t branches.
C. They tried t give up using energy frm sunlight.
D. Their parasitic nature was frmed in a gradual way.
D
Three ut f five wmen say that their caring respnsibilities are preventing them frm applying fr jbs r prmtin, while nly ne in five men say the same, accrding t new research.
The pll f 5,444 peple by Ipss Mri and the charity Business in the Cmmunity(BITC)fund that nearly half f the wrkfrce are cmbining paid wrk and care. Almst three in 10adults have left r cnsidered leaving a jb because f difficulties in balancing wrk and care. The latter was particularly true f wmen.
The majrity f thse with care respnsibilities in the UK are parents lking after children under 18, but 36% f carers are respnsible fr an adult f wrking age r lder. Thse frm a black, Asian, mixed race r ther ethnically diverse backgrund were significantly mre likely t say they have caring respnsibilities than thse frm a white backgrund. As many as 50% f carers frm an ethnic minrity say their caring respnsibilities are hlding them back, cmpared t 39% f white carers.
BITC Gender Equality campaign directr Charltte Wdwrth said the results shwed the discnnect between what wrkers need frm emplyers and what they experience. “There's a lt f cmpeting ideas abut hw we shuld try t imprve the lt f wmen, hw we shuld try and create a mre levelled—up sciety. This reprt tells us very clearly hw significantly wrkplace plicies and wrkplace cultures are undermining thse effrts,” she said.
The research shws nearly ne in 10 carers are “sandwich carers”, meaning they have caring respnsibilities fr bth a child and an adult.
The charity wants the gvernment and emplyers t ffer new fathers mre paid time ff t lk after their children. The research fund that even amng wmen wh identify as jint carers, 52% say they d “mre than my fair share”, in cmparisn t 10% f men. One in three men admit they d “less than my fair share”, in cmparisn t 4% f wmen.
32. Hw des the authr shw the gender difference f caring respnsibilities?
A. By specific data. B. By detailed cmparisn.
C. By reliable facts. D. By several qutatins.
33. Which wrd can replace the underlined wrd “undermining” in paragraph 4?
A. bsting B. affecting C. inspiring D. impairing
34. Accrding t the charity, what can the gvernment and emplyers d t help mthers?
A. T raise salary fr them. B. T give paid hlidays t fathers.
C. T ffer fathers pay rise. D. T prvide them with mre time ff.
35. What des the text mainly abut?
A. Mre paid time ff shuld be given t men t care.
B. Caring respnsibilities is dragging men's wrk.
C. Wmen suffer mre frm care respnsibilities.
D. Balancing wrk with caring respnsibilities is a dilemma.

28. B。理解具体信息。根据第一段中的 They are parasites and live n the branches f their plant “hsts,” absrbing water and nutrients t survive. They accmplish this thievery via a specialized structure that infects their hsts可知，槲寄生依靠植物宿主吸收水分和养分来生存。它们通过一种专门的结构来完成这种偷窃行为，而且会感染它们的宿主。由此可知，槲寄生对它们的宿主有害。
29. D。推断。根据第二段中的 mistlete species may well be the Rbin Hds f plants. (Rbin Hd is a character in ld English stries wh lives in a frest with a grup f friends and steals mney frm rich peple in rder t give it t pr peple.) They prvide fd, shelter and hunting grunds fr ther animals 可知，在英国的古老故事中，罗宾汉和一群朋友从富人那里偷钱，然后把钱给了穷人。槲寄生同样通过寄生宿主为其它动物提供食物、住所和捕猎场所，这一点与罗宾汉相似。
30. A。理解具体信息。根据第三段中的 Mst mistlete fruits are berries cntaining a single seed that’s surrunded by a sticky layer.

This reprt tells us very clearly hw significantly wrkplace plicies and wrkplace cultures are undermining thse effrts,再结合前文可知，虽然人们一直在努力提高女性地位和改善女性生活环境，但是调查结果表明我们的职场规定和职场文化正在削弱这些努力的影响。
34. B。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段The charity wants the gvernment and emplyers t ffer new fathers mre paid time ff t lk after their children可知，该组织认为政府和企业都应该给父亲们提供更多的带薪休假。
35. C。主旨大意题。根据文章第一段Three ut f five wmen say that their caring respnsibilities are preventing them frm applying fr jbs r prmtin, while nly ne in five men say the same, accrding t new research，再综合考虑整篇文章，可知这篇文章主要是介绍了一个调查研究的结果，就是女性普遍比男性承担了更多的育儿责任。

37. A。本段简要介绍了诱发晕动病的主要原因，即：人体主要依靠前庭、视觉和本体感觉系统来感受和控制身体平衡，当大脑的运动指令和感觉反馈不一致时，就容易产生冲突导致晕动病的发生，故 A 项作为本段小标题最恰当。本段中的arises frm与A项中的causes呼应。
38. E。 根据本段小标题What are the symptms f mtin sickness? 和 该 空 前 的 stmach awareness、vmiting、a cld sweat、headache、spatial disrientatin 以 及 a sense f sleepiness可知，设空处应该是与晕动病症状相关的信息，故 E项内容符合此处语境。

When I mved t nrthern New Jersey in 2012 and tk a sftware test engineering jb in midtwn Manhattan, I suddenly fund myself with an hur-lng bus cmmute. I'd slved newspaper crssrd puzzles fr many years, but I had little patience and wasn't very gd. S when I started my crsswrding again during thse lng trips, I was determined t becme a better slver. Hwever, after nticing that all f The New Yrk Times puzzles had bylines(署名行),I figured, “Why culdn't ne f them be mine?”
I bught crsswrd cnstructin sftware and a dictinary f valid crsswrd puzzle entries. I started with a blank 15×15 grid (网格). After reading, rereading, and mre rereading f my puzzle, I decided that it was as gd as it was ever ging t be. S I sent it ff t The Times and anxiusly waited fr their respnse. Several weeks later, I received an email frm a staffer writing n behalf f editr Will Shrtz. His answer was basic,“Thanks, but n thanks.” What's wrse, I received nearly the same rejectin frm Shrtz and his clleagues fr the next several puzzles I submitted.
Then I fund my way t the Crsswrd Puzzle Cllabratin Directry grup n Facebk.In the grup I cnnected with Mark, a mre experienced cnstructr wh became my teacher. After making sme edits fr my 21×21 grid at Mark's suggestin, I sent the puzzle ff t The New Yrk Times. A few mnths later, I gt smething new in my inbx: an actual acceptance message frm The New Yrk Times! They changed sme f the clues t be mre straightfrward. Anyway, my hard wrk finally paid ff. Naturally, I tld all my friends and family t get a cpy f the paper n the publicatin date, March 21,2021.
Nw I've made a lt in my spare time. Even if cnstructing a puzzle feels like an impssible task frm time t time, it's prbably nt. Very few things in life are truly impssible.

Wrldwide, there are mre than a thusand mistlete (槲寄生) species. They grw n every cntinent except Antarctica. They are parasites(寄生物) and live n the branches f their plant “hsts”, absrbing water and nutrients t survive. They accmplish this thievery via a specialized structure that infects their hsts. In fact, they infect plants f all kinds, including themselves—a number f species have been dcumented parasitizing ther mistlete species.
Yet despite their parasitism, mistlete species may well be the Rbin Hds f plants.(Rbin Hd is a character in ld English stries wh lives in a frest with a grup f friends and steals mney frm rich peple in rder t give it t pr peple.) They prvide fd, shelter and hunting grunds fr ther animals. Fallen mistlete leaves release nutrients int the frest flr that wuld therwise remain lcked within trees, and this genersity benefits the fd chain. “Yes, eclgically, they are cheats, ”says David Watsn, a cmmunity eclgist at Charles Sturt University at Albury-Wdnga, Australia. But they share their wealth. “They steal these nutrients, and then they drp them,” Watsn says.
Mistlete species depend critically n animals t get arund. Mst mistlete fruits are berries cntaining a single seed that's surrunded by a sticky layer. Rughly 90 bird species are knwn t cnsume mistlete species' seeds, s the birds can pass them t ther trees n their bdies, r when they are eaten, seeds are passed thrugh their waste. (There are exceptins: Sme mistlete species make explsive fruits that send their seeds tward nearby trees, reaching distances f 10 meters r mre.)
Scientists have knwn that mistlete species all have ancestrs that were parasites nt n branches, but n rts. “They evlved ver and ver and ver, and this understry, rt-parasitic, shrubby thing switched t being an aerial(meaning they infect abve-grund plant parts, rather than rts), parasitic shrubby thing,” Watsn says. Mving up the tree helped t slve a prblem that all plants are faced with: cmpeting fr sunlight. Despite their parasitic nature, mst mistlete species still use energy frm light t make their fd.
28. What can we learn abut mistlete species accrding t paragraph 1?
A. They are highly independent.
B. They are harmful t their hsts.
C. They can be fund n every cntinent.
D. They prefer t live n the rts f plants.
29. In what way are mistlete species similar t Rbin Hd?
A. They help prly grwn trees absrb mre nutrients.
B. They have remarkable abilities t survive in the frest.
C. They live in the frest with ther plant species in grups.
D. They steal and give fd t many ther living things.
30. Hw d mst mistlete species spread their seeds?
A. With the help f birds.
B. By making explsive fruits.
C. With the help f nearby trees.
D. By taking advantage f hsts' seeds.
31. What des Watsn tell us abut the evlutinary develpment f mistlete species?
A. They eventually evlved int shrubby plants.
B. Their habitats changed frm rts t branches.
C. They tried t give up using energy frm sunlight.
D. Their parasitic nature was frmed in a gradual way.

Three ut f five wmen say that their caring respnsibilities are preventing them frm applying fr jbs r prmtin, while nly ne in five men say the same, accrding t new research.
The pll f 5,444 peple by Ipss Mri and the charity Business in the Cmmunity(BITC)fund that nearly half f the wrkfrce are cmbining paid wrk and care. Almst three in 10adults have left r cnsidered leaving a jb because f difficulties in balancing wrk and care. The latter was particularly true f wmen.
The majrity f thse with care respnsibilities in the UK are parents lking after children under 18, but 36% f carers are respnsible fr an adult f wrking age r lder. Thse frm a black, Asian, mixed race r ther ethnically diverse backgrund were significantly mre likely t say they have caring respnsibilities than thse frm a white backgrund. As many as 50% f carers frm an ethnic minrity say their caring respnsibilities are hlding them back, cmpared t 39% f white carers.
BITC Gender Equality campaign directr Charltte Wdwrth said the results shwed the discnnect between what wrkers need frm emplyers and what they experience. “There's a lt f cmpeting ideas abut hw we shuld try t imprve the lt f wmen, hw we shuld try and create a mre levelled—up sciety. This reprt tells us very clearly hw significantly wrkplace plicies and wrkplace cultures are undermining thse effrts,” she said.
The research shws nearly ne in 10 carers are “sandwich carers”, meaning they have caring respnsibilities fr bth a child and an adult.
The charity wants the gvernment and emplyers t ffer new fathers mre paid time ff t lk after their children. The research fund that even amng wmen wh identify as jint carers, 52% say they d “mre than my fair share”, in cmparisn t 10% f men. One in three men admit they d “less than my fair share”, in cmparisn t 4% f wmen.
32. Hw des the authr shw the gender difference f caring respnsibilities?
A. By specific data. B. By detailed cmparisn.
C. By reliable facts. D. By several qutatins.
33. Which wrd can replace the underlined wrd “undermining” in paragraph 4?

C. Wmen suffer mre frm care respnsibilities.
D. Balancing wrk with caring respnsibilities is a dilemma.
