Abut nce a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads dwn t San Dieg’s East Village t make his
runds, serving the dgs, cats and birds wh are the treasured pets f dwntwn’s hmeless cmmunity.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lvers. By age 6, he knew he wanted t be a vet. After graduatin frm a
Clrad veterinary science prgram, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he wrked as head
veterinarian at a cuntry-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recessin. He saw pets abandned and
the wrk was extremely depressing. Fur years int the shelter jb, Stewart said he was burned ut with guilt and
ready t quit.
Then ne mrning n his way t wrk, he saw a hmeless man and a dg. He treated the dg’s skin cnditin
and the animal was transfrmed. The wner was beynd grateful and said, “Thanks fr nt ignring me and fr
treating my dg.” “That was the mment fr me. I gt back t saving animals and ding it n my wn terms,”
Stewart said.
A few weeks later he set up a pp-up veterinary clinic at a sup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he
take his services further, his new jb as “Street Vet” began. In additin t treating cmmn diseases, Stewart ften
prvides vaccinatins (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He als prmtes “fear-free” pet care. Many f the
peple Stewart serves are nt just grateful fr the help but als frm a deep bnd with him, seeing him as smene
wh nt nly treats their pets but als acknwledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that peple frm all ver the wrld will want t emulate what I d.” Stewart said.
Right nw, he is building a netwrk f trusted vlunteers, technicians with hspitals and clinics. “These are all
peple wh just reached ut and said, ‘I’m inspired by what yu d. Hw d I d it?’” he said.
24. What d we knw abut Steward’s current jb?
A. He runs an animal shelter.
B. He adpts abandned pets.
C. He wrks fr a science prgram.
D. He attends t hmeless peple’s pets.
25. Why is Stewart’s shelter jb mentined?
A. T explain his change f career fcus.
B. T illustrate his prfessinal cmpetence.
C. T explre the future f the industry.
D. T reflect the challenges f the prfessin.
26. What d many peple think f Steward?
A. He’s dd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s merciful. D. He’s humble.
27. What des the underlined wrd “emulate” in the last paragraph mean?

Fr many f us, ur clsest meeting with wild animals is at a z. These places allw us t bserve the
behaviurs and characteristics f amazing creatures. It’s an enjyable and educatinal experience fr us, but is it
the best envirnment fr the animals? A lng time ag, peple culd nly see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits
in a museum. Later, live animals were caught by explrers, brught hme and put n shw t the public in zs —
animal prtectin was nt a pririty. But mdern zs and wildlife parks have transfrmed the cnditins and
envirnments fr animals, making bigger enclsures (围场), remving bars, and, t sme extent, cpying their
natural habitats.
Sme peple have questined the cruelty f keeping animals and using them just fr entertainment, but zs
are keen t shw they are here t help wildlife by educating us abut prtectin. In the UK, the intrductin f The
Z Licensing Act 1981 als required zs t educate the public. Well-managed zs are nw als invlved in
supprting and funding prtectin prgrammes.
Prbably the biggest claim frm zs tday is that they help t prtect species that are under threat in the wild
due t glbal warming. Rbert Yung, Chair in Wildlife Prtectin at Salfrd University says: “We wuldn’t have a
lt f different species tday if it wasn’t fr zs.” Sme zs have breeding (繁殖) prgrammes which help t
preserve the future f species. Actr Lenard DiCapri recently praised Chester Z in the UK fr its prtectin
wrk. It brught a rare fish species back frm the dead after breeding and releasing a schl f glden fish back
int their native river.
While the debate abut having zs cntinues, new pprtunities t meet wildlife are being explred, such as
using virtual reality, and Jn Ce, a z designer, tld the BBC: “Taking a walk thrugh a grup f elephants in the
Serengeti, I think, is ging t be pssible pretty sn.”
28. What can be inferred frm paragraph ne?
A. The cnditins fr animals are imprving.
B. Peple used t kill animals fr entertainment.
C. Museums have led t the ppularity f wildlife.
D. Animal prtectin has always been the biggest cncern.
29. The Z Licensing Act 1981 is mentined t ______.
A. prve it is cruel t keep animals in zs
B. shw zs are making effrts t prtect wildlife
C. questin whether it is useful t educate the public
D. express nt all the zs are well managed
30. Why are sme species in danger accrding t paragraph 3?
A. Because f little resurces. B. Because f heavy pllutin.
C. Because f climate variatin. D. Because f illegal hunting.
31. What is Jn Ce’s attitude twards meeting wildlife in the future?
A. Dubtful. B. Wrried. C. Unknwn. D. Hpeful.
D
Flds are amng the mst deadly and damaging disasters wrldwide. Many smaller cmmunities, especially
thse that have never experienced flds befre, lack the tls they need t detect (监测) and manage the disaster,
leaving them struggling t face the full frce f flding.
T help prtect these cmmunities, the Natinal Space Agency (NSA) has partnered with several leading
scientific grups t develp a new fld detectin tl called “Mdel f Mdels” (MM). This tl cmbines data
frm pen-surce hydrlgical (水文的) mdels with Earth bserving satellite data t prduce glbal fld risk
level updates several times a day. When the MM detects a high prbability f flding in an area, it sends a fld
early warning t affected cmmunities, letting them quickly take the necessary steps t save lives and belngings.
“This new technlgy cvers the face f the glbe, enabling us t bserve fld risk and predict the chance f
flds in ways never befre pssible,” said Dr. Shan Clain, manager fr NSA’s Earth Science Applied Sciences
Prgram. “The technlgy we’ve develped will make a huge difference, enabling early actin by cmmunities
arund the glbe — especially small island cmmunities and develping cuntries that lack the necessary early
warning infrmatin t prtect themselves and their lved nes during fld events.” MM will be a game changer.
Until nw, full glbal fld early warnings have nt been pssible, either due t limitatins in hydrlgic
mnitring netwrks, predictin mdels, r the prfessinal knwledge t perate and widely share their results,
especially in small and underdevelped cuntries.
Oma Sam, a directr at the Internatinal Federatin f Red Crss and Red Crescent Scieties, said: “Effective
early warning infrmatin is shwn t save lives. Hwever, traditinal fld early warning has s far been
expensive and requires lcal funding, resurces, knwledge as well as regular care. I am lking frward t helping
NSA prvide this pwerful MM t all cmmunities s that early warnings can reach the last mile.”
32. What can we learn abut MM frm paragraph 2?
A. It sends early warnings several times a day.
B. It frequently updates glbal fld risk levels.
C. It is specially fr fld-affected cmmunities.
D. It relies n human bservatin t detect flds.
33. What des paragraph 3 mainly tell us abut MM?
A. Its peratinal steps. B. Its develpment histry.
C. Its value and effect. D. Its technlgy prgress.
34. What can be inferred frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. Early warning infrmatin is enugh t save lives.
B. MM has been prvided t all the cmmunities nw.
C. MM is well-received in small develping cuntries.
D. MM is expected t beat sme past system limitatins.
35. What is the best title fr the passage?
A. MM: A Breakthrugh in Glbal Fld Early Warning.
B. NSA: A Partner f Small Cmmunities in Fld Rescue.
C. MM Saves Small Cmmunities Frm Fld Disasters.
D. NSA Leads the Imprvement f Fld Detectin Tls.

The Ripple f Kindness
One evening, I was rushing t catch the last bus hme when I nticed an elderly wman 41 n the
sidewalk. Her cane had slipped, and she was struggling t 42 it. Withut thinking, I ran ver and helped
her up. She smiled warmly and said, “Thank yu, dear. Yu’ve saved me frm a fall.”
As I walked away, I culdn’t help but 43 her kind eyes. They reminded me f my grandmther, wh
had always taught me that small acts f kindness culd 44 a big difference.
The next day, I saw the same wman at the lcal grcery stre. She was 45 a bag f grceries, clearly
having difficulty. I quickly ffered t carry it fr her. She accepted with a grateful nd. “Yu’re such a 46
sul,” she said.
Over the next few weeks, I began t ntice smething 47 . Every time I helped her, she wuld later be
seen helping smene else — a child struggling with hmewrk, a yung mther carrying a baby, r a lst turist.
It was as if her kindness was 48 like ripples in a pnd.
One day, I finally asked her, “Why d yu keep helping thers?” She lked at me with a gentle smile and
said, “Because I nce received kindness when I needed it mst. Nw, I just want t 49 it frward.”
Her wrds stayed with me. I realized that kindness wasn’t just abut grand gestures; it was abut the small,
everyday actins that culd 50 smene’s day.
Inspired by her example, I started ding mre fr thers. I began vlunteering at a cmmunity center, 51
meals fr the elderly, and even helping classmates with their hmewrk.
T my surprise, the mre I gave, the mre I received. My classmates became mre 52 , the elderly I
helped sent me thank-yu ntes, and even my teachers nticed the change in my attitude.
One afternn, the elderly wman handed me a small, hand-written nte. It read: “Yur kindness has created a
ripple. Keep it ging.”
I smiled, knwing that even the smallest act f kindness culd 53 a chain reactin.
Tday, I still see her helping thers, and I cntinue t d the same. We may never knw the full 54 f
ur actins, but ne thing is certain — kindness has a way f 55 t us, ften in the mst unexpected ways.

There had been a quarrel between my father and me. I threw sme things int a bag and left angrily, as my
