A sweet film has deeply attracted audiences, including the judges at the Academy Awards. The movie CODA
is shining a light, winning Best Picture of 2021. Instead of clapping, movie stars cheered by waving their hands, a lovely and respectful sign to the much under-represented deaf community.
CODA means Children of Deaf Adults and CODA is about Ruby, a hearing teenage girl growing up with deaf
parents and a deaf brother. Though her ability to hear sets her apart from her family, the four people function as a unit. Ruby had been communicating in American Sign Language (ASL) before she could speak. She is her family’s
sign language interpreter (传译员) and helps out on the fishing boat. When the family’s fishing business is
threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her dream and her fear of leaving her parents.
This is an English language version of the 2014 movie La Famille Belier. However, CODA takes this story to
a new level. Unlike the French version, which used hearing actors, writer and director Sian Heder insisted on using deaf actors, a first for Hollywood. The result is a deep and clear description of life within a deaf family. Deaf people, who often feel lonely, finally feel accepted, and are glad to see this movie.
Laurie Ann Barish, a child of a deaf mother, cried when she watched the movie.“Finally, a special world is
unmuted. I wish this had happened when I was younger. It would have been a wonderful gift for my mom. It was for the world to see that we’re all the same,” Barish said.
Thanks to CODA, cinema lovers may now be able to better respect and know about the deaf. “It’s a culture
that has been ignored and blocked off from access,” Heder said. “I hope that people are going to be exposed (接触) to deaf culture and ASL through this film. They might never have seen a scene before where a deaf family is sitting around a dinner table.”
24. What does CODA tell us about Ruby’s family members?
A. They make every effort to develop ASL.
B. They teach her to be an excellent interpreter.
C. They prevent her from running a fishing business.
D. They rely on her to communicate with the outside world.
25. Which kind of person is probably Ruby?
A. Adaptable and creative. B. Courageous and honest.
C. Independent and considerate. D. Humorous and knowledgeable.
26. What did Heder’s decision to choose deaf actors show?
A. She tried to provide more job opportunities for deaf people.
B. She aimed at presenting deaf people’s life more realistically.
C. She wanted the actors to have rich acting experience.
D. She hoped to add creativity to Hollywood movies.
27. What does Barish mean by saying“a special world is unmuted”?
A. The deaf community gets public attention. B. Her deaf mother is receiving some support.
C. Many unfair events in the world are reported. D. Some deaf people refuse to learn about the world.

C
Languages from the past are very different from today’s languages. In the Early Middle Ages, the English word “make” was pronounced as “ma-ke” with a short “a” similar to the vowel (元音) in “cut”. But in the Late Middle Ages, it was pronounced as “maak” with a long “a” similar to the vowel in “father”. The word “make” was
not the only one and this happened to many Middle English words.
To explore the reason, researchers, Theresa Matzinger and Nikolaus Ritt, analyzed more than 40,000 words from English texts from the Early Middle Ages. They determined the vowel lengths by using dictionaries or taking
neighboring sounds into account and counted the occurrence frequencies of words with long and short vowels.
They found the majority of monosyllabic (单音节的) Middle English words had long vowels. This means that monosyllabic words with a short vowel sounded “strange” and were not recognized clearly and quickly by listeners because they did not fit the sound patterns that listeners were used to. In contrast, words with a long vowel could be processed by the brain more easily.
Over centuries, the easier learnability of monosyllabic words with long vowels made more and more
monosyllabic words get long vowels. “One can imagine language changes like a telephone game,” says Matzinger. “One generation of speakers speaks a particular language variety (变体). The children of this generation process and acquire frequent patterns from their parents’ generation more easily than less frequent ones and therefore use those patterns even more frequently. This second generation of speakers then passes a slightly changed language to their own children. We also notice the gradual language changes by the fact that our grandparents, we and our children speak slightly differently.”
However, if this process happens over many generations, language changes so much that past varieties are
hard for people today to understand. This development lies in the fact that our brain can learn frequent sound patterns more easily than less frequent ones. That is, the general capacity of our brain to preferentially learn frequent patterns plays a role in how languages change.
28. What does the underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The disappearance of vowels. B. The simplification of word usage.
C. The spelling change in short verbs. D. The lengthening of vowels in English words.
29. Why did most of the monosyllabic Middle English words have long vowels?
A. To make a conversation more relaxing. B. To make people recognize the words with ease.
C. To improve the international status of English. D. To reduce the usage frequency of monosyllabic words.
30. What do Matzinger’s words in Paragraph 3 show?
A. It’s easy to notice huge language changes.
B. It’s difficult to learn words with more than one syllable.
C. Frequent speech sound patterns are easily passed down.
D. People tend to purposely make changes to English pronunciation.
31. What may be an important reason for sound changes according to the study?
A. The processing ability of our brains. B. The education levels of communities.
C. The introduction of foreign languages. D. The changes in our living environment.

Researchers from the University of Liverpool, Butterfly Conservation and the University of Reading combined real data gathered by volunteers with computer models for the first time to predict (预测) the movement of different moth (蛾) species as our climate continues to change.
The team discovered moths struggling to move north to adapt to climate change in the UK. Predictions
showed that farmland and suburban moths were noted to have struggled to move across landscapes. Finding out landscape features that slowed moths’ movement, such as hills, the team was easily able to locate areas that would
benefit from restoration (修复) and create what has been titled “moth motorways” to give moths a smoother
journey.
“Using predictions like these would enable us to effectively create moth motorways which can help endangered moth species reach more suitable regions more quickly to survive,” said Professor Tom Oliver, an ecologist and a co-author of the study.
Up until now, there has been a lack of capacity to predict the movement of species across landscapes under
climate change. “Previous research has shown how the serious destruction of habitats in the UK’s landscapes is preventing the ability of species to shift their ranges in response to climate warming. We urgently need targeted habitat restoration to help species adapt to climate change,” said Oliver. The team found that landscapes with hills or changing temperatures acted as bottlenecks, slowing the movement of farmland and suburban moths. The reasons for this are unclear, although it may be that hills prevent them from moving, or that upland areas contain fewer bushes and food plants.
Dr Zoe Randle, Senior Survey Officer at Butterfly Conservation, said, “The findings have great potential for
maximizing the impact of habitat restoration and tree planting by targeting these environmental improvements in the right places. We are experiencing a climate crisis, and the findings can really help make a difference to the protection of moths and other species in these communities that are undergoing range expansion.”
32. How do the researchers find areas in need of habitat restoration?
A. By analyzing previous data. B. By observing the growth of plants.
C. By recording changes in temperatures. D. By measuring moths’ speed of movement.
33. What can we infer about moths from Paragraph 4?
A. Geographical factors have an influence on their movement.
B. Movement is their only way to respond to climate change.
C. They have plenty of new suitable habitats.
D. They can easily fly across upland areas.
34. What’s Dr Zoe Randle’s attitude to the research findings?
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Shocked.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Some moths have lost the power of flight
B. Human behavior is threatening moth species
C. Scientists’ predictions about moths’ survival rate
D. New guidance on protecting moths from climate change

No parent likes to hear their child complaining about being bored. However, boredom is a regular part of childhood for both parents and children. Here are several tips on managing boredom.
Change your mindset.
Boredom is a good thing! It’s the front door to a house filled with exciting discoveries and creative play.
Having a life with space for boredom is a gift. 36 It means your children will get to exercise their mind in
new ways.
The more you let your children manage their boredom, the better they’ll get at it.
37 If you don’t let your children pick up the dumbbell (哑铃), they’ll never develop any muscles. But if
you encourage them to lift it by themselves, even if it’s hard at first, they’ll get stronger and stronger. 38 If you
continue to solve your children’s boredom for them, they’ll never get any better at managing it themselves.
39
Humans get bored! So have some ideas on hand for those times. Every few months, my kids and I make a list of things to do. Even if your kids think every item on the list is boring, it acts as a jump start for other ideas.
Less is more when it comes to toys.
Often, we hope that a huge playroom will keep boredom away. But usually, the opposite is true. How many
kids walk away from their holiday or birthday gifts to play with the cardboard box instead? Too many choices can
make kids stressed. 40
A. Plan for boredom.
B. Give them a challenge.
C. Imagine boredom as a weight.
D. Books are the best boredom solver.
E. Don’t let their boredom become your problem.
F. Simplification lets kids get into their imaginary worlds more easily.
G. Boredom leaves room for daydreaming, creativity, and imagination.

I got off at RK Ashram Station and decided to take a rickshaw (人力车). Normal fare to my place is 20 rupees,
but the rickshaw pullers I met 41 30 rupees. So I was quite 42 .
With enough time, I was about to 43 to my home. But then a middle-aged rickshaw puller stopped me. I
told him the location and as he 44 quoted 20 rupees, I got on his rickshaw. On the way he asked what job I
was doing. I replied I was a student. He further asked about what I was studying and 45 to be. I told him I
5
was preparing for my 46 and that I wanted to be a lecturer after it. I hoped I could be 47 by a local
school in the future. “Work hard and make your parents proud,” he suggested. I told him I was an orphan (孤儿) in
a 48 voice. Hearing this, he pulled the rickshaw in 49 for a while. Then he told me despite his poor
condition, his rich sister wasn’t 50 to call him “Big brother”. As we arrived, I gave him the money. But he
refused to take it. I insisted that was the money he’d 51 . He said sincerely, “Keep it as the best 52 from
me.” It 53 me that a man I’d barely known was giving me the best blessing he could possibly give.
Though sometimes life may 54 us in some ways, we should not be defeated by the hardships. Instead,
we should struggle to find our 55 hopefully.

I think the greatest satisfaction in the world comes from reaching out to someone and lifting someone up. You never know how big an impact you are making on someone’s life is. And I believe in helping others in times of need.
At 1 am, on August 25, 2017, Hurricane (飓风) Harvey made landfall in Houston, Texas. Before that, my
family were preparing for flooding, packing food and first-aid kits, and planning for the worst. While we were taking our cats and rabbits upstairs, my friend Tom, who lived in the heart of Houston with his family, called and
explained their dilemma (困境). Their area was issued with a mandatory evacuation (强制疏散) and they had to
leave. With no place to stay, they were on the way to our house. All seven of them, 5 kids, including a newborn, came in. Together we prepared their rooms and let them settle in.
After dinner, we turned on the news and saw Harvey coming in. That night none of us could sleep, listening to
the wind blowing and the rain thundering down. Tom’s 4-year-old daughter asked me, carrying a cat, “The kitty is scared. Can you make the rain stop, please?” With a forced smile, I comforted her and let the cat sleep with her. When we stepped out of the house the next morning, we saw the nearby lake completely full of water. It was an
7
amazing yet scary sight. Tom went a little further down and came back wet. He explained that there was no way they could return home. They ended up staying that day and planned on leaving the next morning.
The next morning, the news reported how jammed and flooded the roads were in Tom’s community. With tears
and worried faces, they stayed for a week. Even my cats seemed to understand the terrible situation. Finally, when the roads were cleared, we all went to drop them off. On the way, I saw the damage the hurricane did and was worried about the state of their house.
