Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (60 points)

Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Last week, a friend from Colorado, who I first met in Thailand, came into town for his sister’s graduation. He called me and we met up in a bar. It was one of the best nights of the summer.

We retold stories from our time in Thailand, drank a couple beers, and just reflected in the presence of one another. And the best part: he was doing well, succeeding in life while pursuing his dreams.

On my way home from seeing him on his last night in town, I got a little depressed. I just forgot how much fun I had with him and why he made my Thailand experience so awesome. And that of course got me missing all my friends: the ones still in Santa Clara, the ones following their music careers, the ones living in Portland that I have just been too dumb to contact. I have just been so caught up in writing, studying for the GRE, lounging about my house, that I haven’t made the effort that I certainly should have.

Sometimes, we get so absorbed in our own lives that we forget what makes our lives worth living. Humans are social creatures. It is in our DNA. Evolutionary psychologists suggest that because we relied upon social groups in primitive times to survive, we have a negative biological reaction to loneliness today.

So go out there and contact a friend you haven’t talked to for a while. If nothing else, just check in to see how they’re doing. Because even if you haven’t spoken for a while, I’m certain that they are thinking of you.

B. The dependence on social support.

C. The destruction of the environment.

Passage Two

Seagulls（海鸥）don’t just steal food from tourists; they also make quite a mess on the boats of the Australian National Maritime Museum. Seagull droppings stain the boats, causing the museum staff to spend many hours cleaning up the mess left by the seagulls.

After many failed attempts at keeping the annoying seagulls away, the staff had a brilliant idea. Inspired by the method used at various airports to drive away wildlife, they sought out the Australian Dog Working Centre and adopted Bailey. The three-year-old dog was appointed the new position of Assistant Director of Seagulls and put to work.

The highlight of Bailey’s morning is chasing the seagulls away from the boats. For the first few weeks, Bailey was a little too enthusiastic about his new role and managed to jump into the water during the pursuit of seagulls. But it wasn’t long before he was fitted with a new work uniform—a bright yellow life vest that keeps him floating on water. Bailey even has a special staff ID with his photo and the title of his important position. He has had to get familiar with the museum’s waterfront, which he patrols（巡查）frequently. This is especially important at night when there is no human activity around to scare the seagulls off.

The museum staff members are all very fond of Bailey, making sure to give him lots of playtime, walks and affection. He is very well taken care of, with visits to the local animal doctor for grooming（梳毛）scheduled every two weeks.

When he is clocked on, Bailey prefers not to be disturbed so he can focus on his job. However, when he is not working, the museum encourages all visitors to come to say hello to their special employee. So the next time you visit the museum, make sure to say hello to this hardworking dog!

40.What troubles the Australian National Maritime Museum?

A. Shortage of staff.

B. Pollution of water.

C. Bird droppings.

D. Long workdays.

【答案】C

Passage Three

The recent wildfire in Alberta, Canada, has already burned through 600 square miles of land, and 20% of houses in the city of Fort McMurray; all its 88,000 residents have left their homes. But how do you put out fires this big and intense?

Wind, fuel and the slope (坡度) of the land are three vital factors. You can’t do very much about the first one. The firefighters will be paying attention to weather conditions. In an ideal world, the wind would force the flames back on to ground that has already been burned.

Fuel—mainly the trees—can be managed in several ways, such as bulldozing (铲除) it out of the way or starting controlled fires to burn it off so it can’t feed the main fire.

The slope of the land can also help. Fires burn much more aggressively going uphill than they do downhill. You don’t try to fight a fire going uphill. The firefighters will be looking very carefully how they arrange their personnel and equipment on a downhill side of a slope. In a fire that is relatively small and moving downhill, you can launch a direct attack, physically beating the flames out with special tools. You would come in behind the fire, so you’re not face to face with flames coming towards you.

In addition, fire can spread a large distance away from the fire-front by burning embers (余火) carried on the wind, which then start other fires elsewhere. You can actively work on preventing parts of the fire going in certain directions. But this requires resources, such as water-bombers—planes that dump vast quantities of water. They aren’t just flying over the top of the fire and releasing water. They usually wet the fuel ahead of the fire or along its sides to stop the spread of the fire.

44. Which factor is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?

A. Fuel.

B. Wind.

C. Slope.

D. Flame.

【答案】B

【解析】事实细节题。

文章第二段提到，风、燃料和地面坡度是三个关键因素，人们对第一个因素几乎无能为力。消防员会密切关注天气状况。理想情况下，风会将火焰吹回已经烧过的区域。由此可知，本段主要讨论的是“wind（风）”。故选B。

45.Why should trees be bulldozed in firefighting?

A. To put out a controlled fire.

B. To help the victims escape.

C. To prevent fires from spreading.

D. To make way for firefighters.

【答案】C

【解析】事实细节题。

文章第三段提到，燃料（主要是树木）可通过推土机铲除或可控燃烧等方式处理，目的是使其不能助长火势。由此可知，在灭火时铲除树木是为了防止火势蔓延。故选C。

46.When can firefighters directly attack a fire?

A. When it is small and moving downhill.

B. When it is big and moving sideways.

C. When water bombers are available.

D. When the trees ahead of it are wet.

【答案】A

【解析】事实细节题。

根据文章第四段第五句可知，对于相对较小且向下坡蔓延的火势，可以采取直接灭火的方法，使用专门的工具将火焰扑灭。故选A。

47.Which of the following is closest in meaning to "dump" in the last paragraph?

A. Drop.

B. Boil.

C. Absorb.

D. Produce.

【答案】A

【解析】词义理解题。

文章最后一段最后三句提到，灭火飞机可以______大量水。它们不仅仅是飞越火场上空洒水。通常它们会提前洗湿火势前方的燃料或火场两侧区域，以阻止火势蔓延。由此可推断，dump意为“倾倒”。drop意为“使落下”；boil意为“煮”；absorb意为“吸收”；produce意为“生产、制造”。故选A。

Passage Four

Pittsburgh Arlington, an elementary school in the state of Pennsylvania, is battling chronic absence from school with a community-centered approach that combines care, connection, and practical support.

Over half of the school’s 353 students frequently miss classes. Many of these students face barriers like a lack of transportation, which the school district does not provide for those living less than a mile and a half away.

To tackle this issue, the school worked with the Brashear Association, a local nonprofit, to launch the Nanas (保姆) program. This initiative provides a personal touch, where nanas make cheerful morning wakeup calls to families, often ending the conversation with a heartfelt “I love you.” In addition, the program offers free bus rides to and from school, ensuring that children who might otherwise miss school can attend regularly.

The program currently serves 36 children daily, but demand is high, with about 20 students still on the waitlist. Principal Crystal Caldwell wishes there were more resources to expand the service. Meanwhile, the school is also working on other solutions, like paying staff to walk students home and working together with a nearby church to offer before-after-school care.

These efforts are part of a broader initiative aiming at making school a friendly and desirable place for students. This includes working with local arts organizations to create interesting programs and offering regular motivational talks to encourage attendance (出勤). These combined efforts reflect a deep understanding that the causes are complex and varied, requiring the entire community’s involvement to address them effectively.

Tiffini Gorman, director of partnerships at the nonprofit A+ Schools, emphasizes the importance of collective responsibility in ensuring that every child has the support they need to succeed. The school’s approach highlights the significance of community involvement in creating a positive and supportive environment for students.

48. What problem is Pittsburgh Arlington trying to solve?

A. Outdated school facilities.

B. Little support for teachers.

C. Frequent absence of students.

D. Lack of money for programs.

【答案】C

【解析】事实细节题。

B. Giving financial rewards.

C. Providing free bus rides.

D. Offering choices of transportation.

【答案】C

【解析】事实细节题。

根据文章第二段最后一句可知，“保姆计划”还提供往返学校的免费巴士接送服务，确保那些原本可能缺勤的学生能够正常出勤。故选C。

50. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. A quicker solution.

B. A broader initiative.

C. Collective responsibility.

Passage Five

Counting butterflies can reduce anxiety and boost a sense of connection with nature, a study has found. Researchers surveyed participants in the Big Butterfly Count in 2022, in which wildlife charity Butterfly Conservation encouraged people to spend 15 minutes outside counting butterflies to help scientists track how the insects were faring. Surveys completed by 382 people before and after the three-week count period revealed a 9 per cent reduction in anxiety among participants, and a greater sense of connection with nature, as well as noticing butterflies and nature more.

Further surveys completed by 345 people, which were sent five weeks after the count, did not find nature connectedness and reduced anxiety had been maintained. But they revealed an increase in general wellbeing compared with before the project. The research, published in the journal *Biological Conservation*, was carried out by Butterfly Conservation and the University of Derby.

The surveys revealed people had a range of positive and negative emotions associated with taking part, ranging from joy and fascination to sadness and concern about declining insects. Richard Fox, head of science at Butterfly Conservation, said, “This study is the first to prove that the simple act of looking for and counting butterflies leads to a decrease in anxiety. The results suggest that citizen science projects can play a part in improving people’s mental health, as well as gathering important data on how butterflies are faring to inform our conservation work.”

Carly Butler, lead researcher on the study, said the benefits of reduced anxiety and stronger connectedness with nature were the same whether people just carried out one 15-minute count or did so multiple times. Dr Butler added that participants felt motivated to help butterflies and nature by doing things such as making their gardens butterfly-friendly.
