Sn after, smething 17 happened. The bat was rcked by the wavy water and Sctt gt 18 ut f the bat. The engines cntinued t run, mving the bat farther and farther away frm him, which made it 19 t swim back t it. He watched his bat 20 in the middle f the icy Santa Barbara Channel.
Lst at sea, with n land in 21 , Thmpsn was sure these were his EQ \L( 22 ) mments n earth. Hwever, thughts f his family helped him find the 23 t survive. “Just keep 24 , and yu will get hme t yur family,” Thmpsn kept telling himself. “Just imagining my girls and my sn grwing up withut me, and my wife nt having a husband t supprt her, I culdn’t EQ \L( 25 ).
All f a sudden, he heard a big splash (拍水声). It was a medium-sized harbr seal that Thmpsn described as “an angel” that came t help him. “The seal wuld cme up and 26 me, like a dg cmes up and pushes yur leg.” Thmpsn said. It was a sense f 27 , Thmpsn recalled, knwing that he wasn’t alne n this heric jurney.
Being pushed alng by the seal, Thmpsn felt 28 t swim t the nearest il platfrm, which was far but clser than land. With the 29 f the seal, he swam thrugh the dark, freezing water fr five hurs, until he managed t reach an il platfrm. Peple abard the il platfrm ffered aid. They rushed him t a hspital where Thmpsn was treated and recvered a few days later.
While the thught f his 30 mtivated him t keep ging, Thmpsn said that he wuld nt have endured thrugh the pain if it hadn’t been fr the seal swimming alngside him.

Summertime, i.e. vacatin seasn, is quickly appraching. And whether yur ideal getaway is R&R n the beach, utdr adventuring, r explring a new city, it pays t plan.
I’d lve t get away. Hw d I save fr a vacatin?
Yu’re nt alne. One study says 71% f Americans are planning t take a trip fr leisure in 2022. And they’re planning n spending 29% mre than they did pre-pandemic in 2019. But yu dn’t have t g brke (身无分文) t get a break. Befre yu even start planning yur travel, here’s hw t make the trip yu’ve been waiting fr a reality.
Make a sinking fund. These funds are where yu set aside mney with an intentin t spend it n a big gal.
Timing is everything. Research the cheapest places t g when the temperature rises, and plan accrdingly. Yu’ll als get mre bang fr yur buck by checking ut destinatins with a favrable exchange rate. Fr smewhere further east, yur dllars will g far in Thailand r the Philippines.
Bk smart. Renting a hme is ften a better deal than bking a htel. Nt nly will yu save n the price tag, but yu can ck instead f eating ut fr every meal.
Hw d I keep saving while I’m n vacatin?
True stry: travel desn’t feel like real life, s it’s easier t splurge (挥霍). And if yu’re visiting a ppular turist lcatin, everything csts mre. Here’s hw t see the sights withut lsing sight f yur budget.
Set a daily spending limit and track what yu buy t avid verding it. Using cash r a prepaid debit card instead f a credit card can als help.
Fd is a mney vampire. If yu have access t a kitchen where yu’re staying, make breakfast, pack lunch, and ck dinner when yu can. If nt, hit up a supermarket r farmer’s market fr an easy, cheap breakfast. And when yu d eat ut, g fr lunch r appetizers, where the menu items tend t be less expensive.
31. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing may help make yur dream trip a reality?

Rhiannn Menn is the funder f Lasagna Lve, a glbal nnprfit that cnnects neighbrs thrugh hmemade meal delivery. In March 2020, her San Dieg cmmunity shut dwn because f the pandemic. She and her husband wn a design and build cmpany, but their prjects were put n hld. Rhiannn felt helpless and wndered what she culd d t be useful. It didn’t take her lng t decide.
“Cking is my happy place,” she says. She rdered grceries nline and gt t wrk. She and her daughter, Cimrene, then three, made extra pans f lasagna, and Rhiannn psted in a lcal mms’ grup n Facebk, ffering t drp ff a free hme-cked meal t anyne wh wanted ne. Sme peple requested a meal. Even mre wanted t help Rhiannn feed thse wh were struggling.
Rhiannn created a spreadsheet fr each vlunteer, matching them with families wh’d requested a meal. Wrd f what she was ding spread quickly n scial media. “By summer, we had mre than 100 vlunteer chefs,” she says. T many fr ne persn t track. Smene ffered t create an nline prtal (门户网站) t manage the vlunteers and meal requests. This autmated system freed Rhiannn t d what she really lves: ck and reach peple in need.
Fr Rhiannn, lasagna is the best cmfrt fd. But it’s abut mre than just fd. “Our vlunteers deliver a sense f hpe with the meal,” she says. “We want peple t knw that a stranger cared enugh abut them t make them a meal. Kindness is cntagius (传染性的), and it can transfrm cmmunities.”
Lasagna Lve currently has 25,000 vlunteers—r Lasagna Chefs, as they’re called—acrss the United States, Canada and Australia, wh have delivered mre than 150,000 meals t families in their cmmunities. “This mvement has given me purpse in a way I didn’t have befre,” Rhiannn says.
In her hme, cking is a family event. Cimrene, nw five, has gtten gd at layering the ndles. Rhiannn als has a three-year-ld sn and an 11-mnth-ld baby by. “I lve that my kids are learning the imprtance f helping thers,” she says.
Vlunteer chefs lg in t the prtal and input hw many meals they’d like t deliver that week. The system matches them with nearby families requesting a meal, and the vlunteer texts the family t set up a delivery time. The meals are drpped ff n drsteps fr cntact-free delivery.
The rganizatin is called Lasagna Lve, but vlunteers can deliver any hme-cked meal they’d like. Rhiannn’s recipe is her wn take n lasagna, made healthier with grated zucchini and yellw squash. “I’ve shared my recipe, but vlunteers are welcme t use their wn recipes fr any dishes they’d like t make,” she says.
34. Why did Rhiannn start Lasagna Lve?

Hrseshe crabs are ften called living fssils. These primitive arthrpds have lived n earth fr 360 millin years, largely in the same frm as they appear tday. Despite their lng histry, the hrseshe crab’s existence is nw threatened by human activities, including harvesting fr medical research.
Any time a freign bject r substance enters the human bdy, there’s a risk f intrducing infectin. If yu’ve had a vaccinatin, a surgery f any kind, r had a medical device implanted in yur bdy, yu we yur very survival t the hrseshe crab.
Hrseshe crabs have cpper-rich bld that appears t be striking blue in clr. Prteins in the hrseshe crab’s bld cells are released in respnse t even the smallest amunt f bacterial endtxin (内毒素), such as E. cli. The presence f bacteria causes hrseshe crab bld t clt r gel, part f its hypersensitive immune respnse system.
In the 1960s, tw researchers, Frederick Bang and Jack Levin, develped a methd f using these cagulatin (凝固) factrs t test fr cntaminatin (污染) f medical devices. By the 1970s, their Limulus amebcyte lysate (LAL) test was being used cmmercially t make sure everything frm scalpels (手术刀) t artificial hips (髋关节) is safe fr intrductin in the human bdy.
While such testing is crucial t safe medical treatments, the practice takes a tll n hrseshe crab ppulatins. Hrseshe crab bld is in high demand, and the medical testing industry catches as many as 500,000 hrseshe crabs each year t drain them f their bld. The crabs aren’t killed utright in the prcess; they’re caught, bled, and released. But bilgists suspect the stress results in a percentage f the released hrseshe crabs dying nce back in the water. Frtunately, management practices are in place nw t prtect the species.
In additin t their value in medical research, hrseshe crabs fill imprtant eclgical rles. Their smth, wide shells prvide the perfect substrate (基质) fr many ther marine rganisms t live n. As it mves alng the cean’s bttm, a hrseshe crab may be carrying mussels, barnacles, tube wrms, sea lettuce, spnges, and even ysters. Hrseshe crabs depsit their eggs by the thusands alng sandy shrelines, and many migratry shrebirds, including red knts, rely n these eggs as a surce f fuel during their lng flights.
38. What feature f hrseshe crabs helps save lives?
A. They can imprve their immune system.
B. Their bld is sensitive t bacteria.
C. They have cpper-rich bld cells.
D. Their bld is striking blue.
39. Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t the underlined phrase “take a
tll n” in Paragraph 5?
A. Make use f.B. D harm t.
C. Run ut f.D. Cntribute t.
40. Hw are the eclgical rles f hrseshe crabs explained in the last paragraph?
A. By giving examples.B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By quting experts.D. By ffering a definitin.
41. On which type f website can we pssibly read this passage?
A. Science.B. Travel.
C. Business.D. Life.

Chemists have spent the past century trying t make plastics that will break dwn in seawater. As it is, mst plastics appear t take centuries t fully degrade in the cean. But that may change. Scientists have just designed a new plastic that can break dwn in seawater within weeks, nt decades r mre.
Back in the 1930s, scientists created a nw-ppular plastic ut f crn and ptat starch (淀粉). It’s knwn as plylactide, r PLA. It’s a plymer (聚合物), which is a mlecule made by linking many building blcks—called mnmers—int a lng string. Scientists had hped PLA wuld quickly break dwn in the envirnment. And in sme places, like cmpst pits (堆肥坑), it des. But nt in seawater. Even after three years in cean water, PLA remains largely unchanged.
Tim Rheinberger is a PhD student at the University f Twente in the Netherlands. His wrk n plymers has fcused n bsting PLA’s breakdwn. As part f that wrk, he became part f a team that just added sme RNA-inspired breaking pints t PLA. They put thse breaking pints in places where mnmers in the PLA mlecules are linked.
They weakened the links that jined up t 15 percent f a PLA’s mnmers. Then, they saked their samples in artificial seawater and measured hw fast these tweaked versins f PLA brke dwn. The expected final prduct f PLA’s breakdwn was a small mlecule called lactic acid. S, they tested fr that t.
As the team had hped, seawater attacked the weakened links between mnmers, splitting the plymer chain apart. The mre breaking pints the researchers added t the plymer, the faster the PLA brke dwn.
When they weakened 15 percent f PLA’s mnmer links, the plymer brke dwn entirely within just tw weeks. When they weakened nly 3 percent f the links, the breakdwn tk abut 2 years. This suggests the team can design hw quickly PLA will break dwn in water by adjusting hw many weakened links it has.
Mehlika Karamanliglu teaches bimedical engineering at Istanbul Gelisim University. She, t, has studied envirnmental breakdwn f PLA. “It’s a new apprach,” she says f the Dutch technique. Theirs is als “a preliminary study,” Karamanliglu says. S, mre testing must fllw. Scientists want t knw hw the strength f the new PLA cmpares t ld PLA.
Rheinberger agrees. “Yu need a lt f material t start thse studies,” he adds. And s far, his team has made nly small amunts f the mdified PLA.
Karamanliglu ntes the Dutch team als tested the breakdwn f its PLA in artificial seawater. “I wnder if they checked [the water] fr pllutin,” she adds. If there were micrbes (微生物), thse micrbes may have prduced mlecules called enzymes that sped up the PLA’s degradatin.
42. What can we learn abut PLA frm the passage?
A. Lactic acid prevents the breakdwn f PLA.
B. PLA breaks dwn faster in artificial seawater.
C. PLA’s breakdwn relies n that f mnmers.
D. Cmpst pits are the best places fr PLA’s breakdwn.
43. What des the underlined wrd “preliminary” in Paragraph 7 prbably mean?
A. Systematic.B. Cmparative.C. In-depth.D. Early-stage.
44. What is Mehlika’s attitude twards the findings f the Dutch team?
A. Supprtive.B. Dubtful.C. Optimistic.D. Cautius.
45. What can be learned frm the last three paragraphs?
A. Mehlika is cnfident abut the applicatin f the new PLA.
B. The cleanness f water als affects the breakdwn f PLA.
C. The new PLA has better strength than the ld PLA.
D. The new PLA have been prduced in large amunts.

Laughing Matters
Making peple laugh cnnects us t ne anther. But what are laughing matters related t? Fr me, they are abut persnal life stries and experiences. Life will always change, and therefre laughing matters vary accrdingly. While we may nt have the same experiences, everyne can relate t bservatins n life, family, and the varieties f behavir we all encunter every day as we g abut life.
Laughing matters are dedicated t making laughter a part f daily life and building a healthier and less stressful utlk. It can end tense situatins. It always breaks the ice and brings peple tgether. At hme, it brings the family clser. A friend nce tld me hw his dad cllected jkes in a bx and wrte them dwn n cards s he wuldn’t frget them and then tld jkes at the dinner table. I culd relate t that. My lder brther used t bring hme jke bks and read them t me when I was 10 r 11 years ld, which had a great impact n me.
Great cmedians view life in different ways. Sme f them can tell a relatable stry abut life and it will be funny, reminding the audience f similar situatins and getting huge laughs. Others will lk at a similar bservatin in life and tell a very different stry frm a very different angle with a very different delivery. The best f them keep wrking it ut until they find the humr that suits them and strikes the right string and, hpefully, the laughter string f an audience.
Peple will always relate t the human stry with all its challenges. One gd thing abut life is that it changes and develps. Life itself never gets ld and is always feeding a laugh. As a result, cmedians are cnstantly pushing the envelpe because what the previus generatin fund funny becmes freign t the new generatin. As cmedy adjusts t life changes, the edge keeps mving as well. That’s what time des t cmedy. And nw with a whle new generatin the challenge is the same. Humrists must keep pushing that envelpe, and we will.
68. Fr the authr, what are laughing matters abut? (不多于8个单词)

69. Hw can the best cmedians make peple laugh? (不多于11个单词)

One pssible versin:
English is nt easy t learn. Fr me, I find it very challenging t imprve my listening and speaking skills. We dn’t have freign teachers and I feel embarrassed t cmmunicate with my classmates in English. Furthermre, like many students, I am als frustrated by learning vcabulary. There are s many new wrds that I have t learn every day. And I find it unprductive and bring t just repeat the wrds ver and ver again.
After having a discussin with my English teacher, I decided t keep ging. I dwnladed an English learning app and began listening t English news every day. After listening, I wuld retell the news and cmment n it. Nw, I am n lnger afraid f English listening and find it natural t speak English alud. As fr vcabulary learning, it’s mre rewarding t learn wrds in sentences than just remembering single wrds. Smetimes, I even make sentences n my wn, which makes vcabulary learning mre efficient and fun.
