Naomi Cooke was walking with a friend and their dogs through her local park in Burnside, on Tuesday when she heard someone shout to watch out. Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.
Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.
After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.
Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.
There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.
“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.
Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. "There should be rules about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.”
4. What happened to Cooke on Tuesday?
A. She was struck by a golf ball.
B. She was hit by a flying disc.
C. She was beaten by two men.
D. She was frightened by a mad dog.
5. What do the underlined words "the pair" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Cooke and her friend.
B. Cooke and her dog.
C. The two disc golfers.
D. The two CT scans.
6. How did Cooke feel about people playing disc golf in the park?
A. Acceptable.
B. Shocked.
C. Angry.
D. Worried.
7. Why did Cooke plan to go to the council?
A. To get the two men in trouble.
B. To call for a ban on disc golf.
C. To ask for personal protection.
D. To call for safer places for disc golf.

Scientists say baby sharks are at risk of being born smaller and without the energy they need to survive because of warming oceans from climate change.
Scientists studied epaulette sharks, which live off Australia and New Guinea. They found that warmer conditions sped up the sharks’ growing process. That meant the sharks were born earlier and very tired. The findings could be used in the study of other sharks, including those that give birth to live young.
The scientists studied 27 sharks. Some were raised in average summer water temperatures, about 27 degrees Celsius. Others were raised in higher temperatures around 29 degrees Celsius and 31 degrees Celsius. They found that the sharks raised in the warmest temperatures weighed much less than those raised in average temperatures. They also showed reduced energy levels.
Epaulette sharks can grow to a length of about one meter. Their name comes from large spots on their bodies that look like decorations on some military clothing.
One study this year found that worldwide numbers of oceanie sharks and rays dropped more than 70 percent between 1970 and 2018. Overfishing is a main concern, while climate change and pollution also threaten shark.
Carolyn Wheeler is a doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts Boston and with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Australia. She was the lead author of the epaulette shark study. She said that while all the sharks survived, those raised in warmer temperatures were not strong enough to survive for long in the wild.
She added that if the sharks are born smaller than usual “they are probably going to have to start looking for food sooner—and they’re going to have less time to adjust to their surroundings.” The study should serve as a warning to ocean governing agencies that careful management is needed to prevent the loss of more sharks.
8. In what aspect do the warmer conditions affect the baby sharks?
A. Their food.
B. Their body weight.
C. Their living habits.
D. Their moving route.
9. How did the scientists carry out their study?
A. By studying former data.
B. By tracking sharks in the wild.
C. By collecting information about climate change.
D. By comparing sharks in waters of different temperatures
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The origin of sharks’ names.
B. The sharks’ appearance.
C. The threats to sharks’ survival.
D. The sharks’ living environment.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Raise Sharks to Deal with Problems
B. Global Warming Has Reduced Shark Populations
C. Baby Sharks Struggle to Survive in Warming Oceans
D. Scientists Are Struggling to Save Sharks from Extinction
D
It was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta, then southward intoGlacierNational ParkinMontana, and continued toYellowstoneNational Park.
It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.
There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just
took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.
I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him.
12. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?
A. It was taken by train to the west.
B. It was a suggestion from their friends.
C. It was in the late autumn five years ago.
D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.
13. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?
A. He could have lost the camera.
B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.
C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.
D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.
14. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?
A. Kind and straightforward.
B. Rich and generous.
C. Creative and capable.
D. Careful and admirable.
15. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?
A. No pains, no gains.
B. Seeing is believing.
C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
D. The longest journey begins with the first step.

How to Improve your Memory
Most of us can lose our train of thought midway through a sentence but when you’re a stand-up comic (单口相声演员) , it can cause disaster— as comedian Billy Connolly knows. The 70-year-old Scot admitted the fact last week, and he now suffers from worrying about memory loss on stage.____16____His wife Pamela owes it to years of drinking in his early career.
But absent-mindedness is not just about “senior moments”, says neuropsychologist Dr Iddon. “In a recent
study of healthy adults, the average number of memory slips, like putting the coffee jar in the fridge, was around six per week, regardless of age, sex and intelligence,” says Dr Iddon. “____17____” Remembering is an active process and making the most of your memory involves paying better attention, planning and organising.___18___
19. Exercise more.
Several studies have shown that exercise is particularly good at improving memory. Exercise is also thought to encourage the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus — an area of the brain important in memory and learning.
20.___21___
So if a joke is learned in the presence of a particular smell, that same smell may arouse the memory for that joke.“ More simply, when in an exam, I advise my students to imagine the place in which they were revising as a reminder,” says Andrew Johnson, memory specialist and lecturer in psychology.
22. Drink more milk.
Scientists asked 972 people to fill in detailed surveys on their diets and to complete eight difficult tests to check their concentration, memory and learning abilities.___23___
A. Learn more jokes.
B. Connect the memory with the environment.
C. To make matters worse, sometimes he cannot remember his lines.
D. In fact, it was the younger, busier people that were the most absent-minded.
E. Luckily, there are some strategies to help you avoid those embarrassing moments.
F. The best way to strengthen a memory is to go through the information before sleep.

Sharing the sweetness
On the 25th of December, my mother expects her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. When she pulls on that holiday sweater, everybody better gets festive. Of course, I would be the first Jones sibling___41.___(go)rogue(叛逆). As the middle, artist child, I was going to do my own thing, making some new traditions. From a biography of Flannery O’Connor, I drew inspiration— I would spend the holiday at an artist colony!
No one took my new idea seriously. From the way my mother carried on, you would think I was divorcing the family. Still I held my ground and made plans for my winter adventure inNew Hampshire. The MacoDowell Colony was ___42.___I could have wished for. About 25 to 30 artists were in attendance, and it was asartsy(艺术的) as I___43.___(imagine). It felt like my life had become a strange independent film.
By Christmas Eve, I had been at the colony for more than a week. The novelty of snowyNew Englandwas wearing off, but I would never admit___44.___. Everyone around me was having too much fun. Skiing! Deep conversation by the fireplace! What was wrong with me? This was the holiday ___45.___I’d always dreamed of. No artificial decoration. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas,” they said “holiday.” Then why was I so sad?
Finally, I called home on the pay phone. My dad answered, but I___46.___barely hear him for all the good-time noise in the background. He turned down the volume on the holiday album and told me that my motherwas out shopping with my brothers. Now it was my turn tosulk(生闷气). They were having a fine Christmas ___47.___me.
Despite a heavy snowstorm, a large package showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas
morning. Tayari Jones was written in my mother’s beautiful handwriting. I rushed to that parcel____48.____I were five years old. Inside was a gorgeous red-velvet cake, my favorite,___49.___(wrap) tightly in about 50 yards of bubble packaging. “Merry Christmas,” read the simple card inside. “We love you very much.”
As I sliced the cake, everyone gathered around. Mother had sent a genuine homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our bare hands,___50.___(satisfy) a hunger we didn’t know we had.

A farmer had some puppies(小狗崽)to sell. When He was putting up a sign advertising(做广告)the puppies, a little boy came up with shining eyes and said he wanted to buy a little dog.
The farmer patiently replied that these puppies cost a lot of money because they came from fine parents.
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change(零钱). “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”
The farmer nodded and let out a whistle(口哨).
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp(斜坡)ran the dog mother followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
The ONE that took the lead caught the boy's eyes. Clearly, it was the biggest and strongest of the all. It was
pure white. The boy stared at the moving snowball as it raced closer and closer. Amazingly, it stopped just at the foot of the boy. “It seems strong and clever, so it would be a good gift for Mary,” the boy decided.
