Beejhy Barhany, grwing up in an Ethipian-Jewish cmmunity in Israel, has been cking fr her family as lng as she can remember. Nw a chef and wner f Tsin Café in Harlem, New Yrk, Barhany cntinues t pull frm cking traditins, including ne that has becme the surce f much cntrversy in recent decades: washing raw meat befre cking.
Fr Barhany, submerging raw chicken in salt and lemn water is bth functinal and ceremnial, as saking r rinsing raw meat in salt water and acid-such as lemn juice r vinegar-is a cmmn frm f “washing” required by Jewish Ksher rules. And a 2015. survey f ver 1, 500 American cnsumers fund that nearly 70 percent rinse r wash their pultry befre cking it, thugh the U. S. Department f Agriculture( USDA) started telling cnsumers nt t wash raw pultry in the 1990s. Experts including thse frm the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin strngly warned that rather than reducing the risk f fdbrne illness (食源性疾病), washing meat increases the likelihd f spreading unwanted pathgens (病原体), like salmnella and campylbacter, arund the kitchen.
“Washing meat befre cking is nt really helping,” says Betty Feng, assciate prfessr f fd science at Purdue University. “The nly thing it des is splashing (飞溅) and culd crss-cntaminate a lt f yur kitchen items-yur sink, prbably yur clthes, whatever yu have by the sink.” Mrever, Feng cautins against using saltwater, vinegar, r lemn juice, which simply isn’t strng enugh t effectively kill fdbrne pathgens. “If the acidity is high enugh t kill bacteria, then it’s nt really likely yu can use yur bare hand t wash,” she says.
And a 2022 study shwed that submerging meat in a bwl f water reduced the splashing but nt the spread f germs. “I wuld treat the entire sink just like the utside f the chicken——it’s a bilgical hazard,” says Benjamin Chapman, ne f the study authrs and assciate prfessr in Nrth Carlina State University’s agricultural and human sciences department. “The way that we make meat safe is thrugh cking, nt thrugh the remval f pathgens.”
24．What is the purpse f paragraph 1?
A．T braden the readers’ hrizns.B．T make a cmparisn.
C．T intrduce the tpic.D．T state the authr’s pinin.
25．What is mentined abut the Jewish Ksher rules frm this text?
A．Nearly 70 percent f American cnsumers fllw the rules.
B．The rules pay attentin t functinal and ceremnial aspects.
C．Uncked meat is submerged in water with salt and vinegar.
D．It warns peple f the risk f fdbrne illness.
26．What is TRUE abut “washing meat befre cking” accrding t Betty?
A．It has sparked a lt f cntrversy in recent years.
B．It has decreased the risk f fdbrne illness.
C．It can nt be directly dne/with yur bare hands.
D．It may d a favr/ t the transfer f pathgens.
27．Why is the underlined phrase “bilgical hazard” mentined in the last paragraph?
A．T emphasize that chickens pse a level/f threat t humans’ life.
B．T shw that sinks can be a way t increase splashing.
C．T prve that cking is a gd way t kill pathgens.
D．T stress that the practice peple fllw is nt advisable.

In America, the “Big Dig”, a highway prject that resulted in a mess f traffic in the centre f Bstn fr years, came in five times ver its initial budget. Even the Germans get huge prjects wrng. Cnceptin t peratin f Berlin Brandenburg Airprt has taken 30 years, with seven missed pening dates. The airprt ended up csting $8.2 billin. Hwever, the riginal estimate was abut $2.7 billin.
Huge prjects like Berlin Brandenburg Airprt are the subject f an amusing new bk called Hw Big Things Get Dne by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner. Mr. Flyvbjerg sets up a database f ver 16, 000 prjects and data analysis reveals that nly 8.5% f the prjects meet their initial estimates n cst and time, and 0.5% f them achieve what they set ut t d n cst, time and benefits.
Over-ptimistic time and cst estimates riginate frm bth psychlgical and plitical perceptins: the reliance n intuitin (直觉) rather than data, and a prblem that Mr. Flyvbjerg calls “strategic misrepresentatin”. This is when budgets are intentinally reduced in rder t get things ging. And nce the prjects are under way, they will nt be stpped, because mney spent n them will thus be wasted.
Mr. Flyvbjerg speaks highly f Pixar’s methdical apprach t develping and testing films in great detail befre they g int prductin. He als tells the stry f hw Frank Gehry’s well-develped architectural mdels helped ensure the success f the Guggenheim Museum in Bilba. Narrwing dwn the prducing windw f a prject befre it is actually carried ut reduces the prbability f unexpected events.
Big custmized prjects are particularly likely t run int truble. Hwever, the mre a prject can be divided int standardized prcesses, the better its prspects are. Prjects run int prblems fr specific reasns as well as general nes: Britain’s truble is nt smething that China has t wrry abut, fr instance. But the irn law is that if yu plan strictly and standardize where pssible, yu are less likely t dig yurself int a hle.
28．Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage?
A．By making a cntrast.B．By giving an explanatin.
C．By presenting examples.D．By shwing an experience.
29．What message des Bent Flyvbjerg’s data analysis cnvey?
A．Prjects’ success rates can be estimated.
B．Prjects’ desired utcme can’t be achieved.
C．Mst prjects suffer verspending and delays.
D．Mst prjects lack cmprehensive data analysis.
30．What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A．Failures in decisin-making.B．Methds f reducing massive csts.
C．Strategies fr getting wrk dne.D．Reasns behind inaccurate estimates.
31．What is the key t preventing prjects getting int truble?
A．Planning thrughly in advance.
B．Analyzing specific and general reasns.
C．Fcusing n efficiency f prjects.
D．Drawing lessns frm frmer experiences.

If yu lk at the dynamic “Glbal Temperatures” map n NASA’s website, yu can see the histric temperature change ver time acrss the planet as the timeline ges frm 1880 t the mdern day. By 2019, the entire planet is in red, range, and yellw clrs, indicating temperatures much higher than the histrical average in every cuntry and human inhabitance.
If the timeline went t 2023, the map wuld lk even wrse. That’s because the summer f 2023 was the httest ever, accrding t cean mnitrs. July was the httest mnth in recrded histry.

Frest fires sent smke frm Canada acrss the Nrth American cntinent, causing New Yrk City t have the wrst air quality in its recrded histry.

Arund the same time, flash flding in Bucks Cunty, Pennsylvania — nrth f Philadelphia — killed nearly a dzen peple.
Erich Fischer, a researcher specializing in climate studies at the Swiss Federal Institute f Technlgy, is cncerned that natural disasters culd get much wrse in the future—and in ways we cannt predict. He called fr a “strike fr climate justice,” which actually tk place n Sept. 15, 2023. “The strategy needs t be twfld (双重的) . We need t decrease carbn emissins as much as realistically pssible. That is already happening with peple using electric cars and ther green technlgies. At the same time, we als need t find ways t predict the risk f natural disasters ahead f time,” said Erich Fischer.
32．Why des the writer mentin the data n NASA’s website in paragraph 1?
A．T explain a cncept.B．T intrduce a tpic.
C．T prvide a slutin.D．T make a predictin.
33．What des the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A．The severity f natural disasters.B．The wrst air quality in New Yrk City.
C．The extreme damage by flash flding.D．The cause f the frests fires in Canada.
34．What did Erich Fischer suggest t deal with the current situatin?
A．He advcated a twfld strategy.
B．He suggested frbidding carbn emissins.
C．He required peple t use mre electric cars.
D．He emphasized the awareness f climate changes.

The prevalence (普遍) f sweatshp (血汗工厂) labr depends largely n the definitin being used. At its mst 41 definitin, the term refers t wrk in a cnfined space (small, surrunded by walls) that is extremely difficult r dangerus. Sweatshps are cnsidered t be fairly cmmn. If the definitin being used is clsely related t the cmmnly-held 42 f a factry with verwrked, under-paid wrkers, sweatshp labr becmes less cmmn than expected. 43 , they are still prevalent in third-wrld cuntries. Accrding t the United States Gvernment Accuntability Office, a sweatshp is any wrkplace that breaks ne r mre state and federal 44 laws. Experts believe that rughly 50 percent f manufacturers— 45 in the clthing industry — emply sweatshp labr.
It can be 46 t figure ut the exact number f sweatshps in a particular area. These wrkplaces usually, if nt always, vilate labr laws. Vilatins can include wrkers being paid less than minimum wage, child labr, and the severe lack f safety regulatins. 47 , many f these lcatins tend t hide their identities as sweatshps thrugh a number f different means. Fr example, they might bribe gvernment fficials.
Anther factr that 48 the prevalence f sweatshp labr is the ecnmic situatin in the cuntry r regin. Many individuals chse t wrk in sweatshps simply because there are n better alternatives 49 livelihd (生计), even if the incme they’re being given still cannt supprt their basic standards f living. This has led t a sharper increase in sweatshps in third-wrld ecnmies. In these cuntries, there is a 50 advantage t wrking in a sweatshp rather than nt wrking at all. 51 , the large number f peple willing t wrk under such cnditins causes emplyers t run mre sweatshps.
Certain ecnmists argue against the ppular pinin that sweatshp labr shuld be cnsidered 52 . Sweatshp supprters argue that the wrkplaces are a necessity fr pr cuntries. Sweatshp wrkers actually earn mre than average in thse cuntries. Fllwing this train f thught, sweatshps are lked upn as an ecnmic stimulus (刺激物). Emplyers fllwing this belief are 53 t increase the number f sweatshps in prer cuntries.
Hwever, ther experts think that 54 labr standards in third-wrld cuntries creates a dwnward spiral (螺旋线). That is t say, peple will be frced t accept wrking in increasingly wrsening circumstances. The demand fr wrk is significantly larger than the number f jbs that are available. It’s quite 55 fr wages and emplyee rights t cntinue ging dwnwards in respnse t such desperatin. As a result f the ecnmic circumstances in a given regin, emplyers wh fllw this philsphy are quick t pint ut that their businesses d nt fall under the definitin f a sweatshp.

The lift lbby (电梯间) f my flat was ld and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied ver many years. I reached my flat’s lbby, and pressed the lift buttn and went in.

I held the lift dr pen, flashing a friendly smile, and plitely greeted her. I asked her hw she felt that day and pressed the buttns.

The lift fell dwn increasingly fast. There were lud clanking sunds here and there while the lift grew slwer and slwer. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cld and wet with sweat.

Para 1:“We will never get ut!” she cried with her face pale. I tried my very best t cmfrt her, telling her that everything wuld be all right and that we needed t find ut hw t get ut safely. Mrs Lim began having truble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit dwn and lsened her cllar. “Help!” I screamed at the tp f my lungs, trying t get smene’s attentin. A wave f despair washed ver me. I felt like we culd never get ut. In ne last effrt, I tried banging n the drs. The next few minutes felt like hurs as we waited in cmplete silence.
Para 2: Bang! My hpes were lifted when I heard the firefighters n the ther side f the lift dr. Help was finally here! The brave firefighters hit the dr pen using their tls. It felt like a hundred pund weight was lifted ff me, and Mrs Lim thanked the heavens that smene had cme t ur rescue. I made a sigh f relief when the drs were finally pened and all this drama was ver. The firefighters praised me fr helping Mrs Lim. I returned their praise with gratitude and Mrs Lim thanked me and even gave me a hug.
