On Dec.26, Gelinne was having a cup f cffee at hme, gazing ut at frzen Beards River. Suddenly, his daughter cried “Lk!” Gelinne lked up just in time t see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, cming dwn.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a frmer sailr, realized it wuld land in the river. Withut hesitatin, he ran dwn t the waterfrnt. The plane had slid t a stp n the brad, frzen river, far frm shre, sinking. The pilt was standing n the wing. Gelinne knew frm his previus training that even a few minutes in the icy water culd kill the pilt.
Gelinne tested the ice with his ft and decided nt t take any chances walking n it. S he and his sn, Jhn, pulled tw kayaks (皮划艇) ut. “If it can flat n the water, it can slide n the ice,” Gelinne said.
The kayaks’ paddles (桨) prved t weak, s the pair tried using sticks t push the bats alng. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effrt, they made prgress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilt was standing n a tail wing, surrunded by pen water. Gelinne pushed his kayak ff the ice and int the water, paddling tward the pilt and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall ver?”
With his sn nearby, Gelinne fcused n keeping the pilt calm, jking, “Just hang n t the kayak as if yu were hugging yur wife.” The pilt grabbed the kayak’s bw. Gelinne knew he had t get the pilt nt the shelf f unbrken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak brke thrugh the ice. He needed help.
Sn a plice fficer arrived and radied fr help. A bat frm the lcal Department f Natural Resurces appeared. It picked up the pilt, Steve 71, and rushed him t safety, wh wuld be treated fr minr injuries. Later the bat returned t help Gelinne, exhausted, t shre.
The bat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years ld,” he says. “There was n way I culd get him t shre.” Still, he was satisfied.

Genres (体裁) are ften viewed as structural framewrks fr literary texts, nt which elements like imagery, character, plt, and setting are layered. These framewrks are passed dwn thrugh generatins, evlving (演变) ver time.
Amng all genres, the nvel received the mst critical attentin in the twentieth century, ften praised as the “king f genres” due t its reflectin n the real wrld. Yet, in the nineteenth century, it was primarily seen as a frm f middle-class entertainment. It was nt until the twentieth century that the nvel was lifted t the status f an art frm, jining in the same league as painting r classical music. Later n, many schlars successively studied the characteristics f nvels frm the 18th and 19th centuries.
Recently, in a bk f Edwin Frank, Stranger Than Fictin, he raises an appealing questin: is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century nvel”? Is it meaningful t distinguish the twentieth-century nvel frm its nineteenth-century predecessr — r even frm the nvel f the twenty-first century? Frank thinks s. In his bk, he illustrates hw the twentieth-century nvel matures int a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century was a perid f vilent change; therefre, vilent change is what the twentieth-century nvel reflects — nt, r nt nly, in its subject matter but in its frm. Frank suggests that, mdern as the twentieth-century nvel is, it shws the cultural relevance t develpment f scieties.
Hwever, that relevance seems t have waned. Tday, the nvel n lnger hlds a central place in the cultural cnversatin. Peple’s daily questin has shifted frm “What are yu reading? ” t “What are yu streaming? ” Televisin series have emerged as the dminant frm f middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century.
Has prestige televisin reshaped the rle f the nvel? Many nineteenth-century nvels gain vitality in the twentieth century thrugh film adaptatins. Henry James, fr example, wuld likely be pleased t knw that The Prtrait f a Lady has been adapted int a BBC miniseries, a feature film, and even a televisin versin — each reaching a far larger audience than the riginal print editin culd ever have hped fr.
8. Why did the nvel gain recgnitin in the twentieth century?
A. It mirrred its link with reality.B. It was written in amusing frms.
C. It displayed attractive characters.D. It was authred by the middle-class.
9. Which aspect f the twentieth-century nvel des Stranger Than Fictin fcus n?
A. Its rises and falls.B. Its expansin and effect.
C. Its significance and limitatin.D. Its evlutin and uniqueness.
10. What des the underlined wrd “waned” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Varied.B. Weakened.C. Peaked.D. Remained.
11 What des the example f The Prtrait f a Lady indicate?
A. Nvels lse their artistic appeal.B. Adaptatin decreases nvels’ status.
C. Media breathe new life int nvels.D. TV shws change the rle f nvels.

We take ur speech abilities fr granted. Mst peple d nt stp t think f hw ther animals and insects cmmunicate with each ther. Ants are amazing creatures that have a tireless wrk pattern and cmplex scial structure. T achieve this, they must have sme ways f cmmunicating with each ther. Obviusly, ants d nt speak as we d, s hw d they cmmunicate?
Ants cmmunicate by releasing phermnes (信息素) that functin utside f the bdy t send chemical messages t the ant that receives it and by tuching their antennae (触角) t feel and smell each ther. The best example that we can see very clearly is that ants find fd surces and drp phermnes n their ways. By using their antennae t detect phermne trails and fllwing a sweeping pattern, they encunter a trail. Once the phermne trail is fund, they fllw it with ne antenna n either side f the path, ensuring they keep n track. This allws ther ants t fllw the phermnes. The result f these phermne paths is lng lines f ants, marching ne behind each ther t cllect fd.
The queen ant uses phermnes t signal. As the queen ages, she gives ff phermnes that tell the ant clny that she is dying. They begin feeding and preparing a pupa (蛹) t be the new queen. When ants greet each ther with their antennae, they can tell if they are friends r fes and what functin each ant fulfills in the nest.
Scientists knw that this is pssible, but they are still trying t identify which phermnes share this infrmatin. Ants als give ff phermnes that identify the nest they belng t, their scial status, and their maturity. The mre researchers study ants, the mre they discver abut their ability t translate infrmatin t ne anther, learn, frm cllective memries and sund alarms. Ants are truly amazing cmmunicatrs.
12. Hw culd ants cmmunicate accrding t the text?
A. By attracting cmpanins via sunds.B. By sending alarm signals t the queen.
C. By identifying phermnes with antennae.D. By keeping n the same track.
13. What is the functin f the phermne trail?
A. T spt enemies in the ant clny.
B. T help cmpanins find fd surces.
C. T keep the rders f the ant cmmunity.
D. T enable ants t cmmunicate with humans.
14. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Ants have n cllective memries.
B. Ants’ alarm-sunding ability is unique.
C. Researchers have identified the types f phermnes.
D. Mre secrets n ants’ cmmunicatin remain unknwn.
15. Which can be the best title fr the text?
A. The Insight int Ants’ Cmmunicatin.B. The Secret f Tuching Antennae.
C. The Research n Ants’ Memries.D. The Amazing Wrld f Ants.

Jack leaned against his apartment’s kitchen cunter, gazing at the grwing muntain f bills. Despite the city’s prmise f pprtunities, he struggled with a lw-paying jb and high expenses. Every mnth felt like a battle t make ends meet. He missed the warmth f Mr. Thmpsn’s ld huse, where every tenant (租户) felt like family and Mr. Thmpsn treated each tenant with cnstant kindness.
One cl autumn day, as Jack srted thrugh his mail, mstly cnsisting f bills and advertisements, a plain white envelpe caught his eye. The return address belnged t Mr. Thmpsn. Heart punding with curisity, Jack tre it pen. Inside, a check fr $2,500 and a handwritten nte fell int his hands.
“Dear Jack,

Over the years, watching yung peple like yu grw and pursue their dreams has been my greatest reward. Yur presence brught jy and warmth t ur cmmunity. I wish yu all the best.
Warm regards,

Memries f his father’s lectures eched: “Never depend n thers. Stand n yur wn.” Jack had prmised t prve himself in the city, yet here he was, drwning.
Mr. Thmpsn’s wrds warmed him, but dubt crept in. Was it a charity case? He needed answers-nt frm the mney, but frm the man wh sent it.
Jack paced, the check glaring frm the table. He imagined Mr. Thmpsn’s kind eyes. This isn’t pity, Jack reasned. It’s... thanks.

Yu’ve always been a gd tenant and a kind persn. I believe in yu.” Jack left with a lighter heart, feeling mre grateful than ever.
