阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Poem A:
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth I knew not where;
For who has the sight so keen and strong, That can follow the flight of a song? Long, long afterwards, in an oak,
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.Poem B:
I love three things in this world,
The sun, the moon and you.
The sun for the day, the moon for the night, and you forever.
For the world you are somebody,
But for somebody you are the world.
I drop a tear in the ocean
And the day you find it is the day I will stop loving you!
People laugh and people cry,
Some say hi while some bye,
Some give up and some always try,
Others may forget you but never will I.
Poem C (excerpt):
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should even come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.Poem D:
I don't know what your dream is.
I don't care how disappointing it might have been,
As you've been working toward that dream. Some of you already know that is hard.
It's not easy.
In the process of working on your dreams, You're going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain.
For those of you that never experience some hardships,
Don't give up on your dream.
There are right times on the way to have come, But they have not come to be seen, they have come to be past.
21．What does "a tear in the ocean" in Poem B imply?

"A good book is easy to find", reads the sign on Hernando Guanlao's two-store y ancestral home on the outskirts of the Philippines' main financial district which he has turned into a free-for-all public library where anyone can borrow books or keep any of its thousands of books.
It all began in 2000, when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. In memory of his parents who were able to gift their children with education, Guanlao gathered whatever books he had around the house, and placed them outside with a sign that reading was free.
What started as a 50-book display has grown dramatically over the years, thanks to a steady supply of books from donors, some of whom opted to stay anonymous. "They just leave boxes of books outside my house," said Guanlao.
Called the Reading Club 2000, Guanlao's library showcases a wide variety of books he hopes will inspire people, especially young curious minds to read. Books, believes Guanlao, need to live. And they are only alive if they are being read and used. He is firm about his goals: "My mission is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost, and to promote education through literature."
Migs M, a writer, admitted frankly, "One of my passions is reading, and I've always been protective of my books. So it's quite a surprise for me to find out that a man actually set up the entire house he grew up as a free library." Then her first time there, she ended up taking a book home. "As a believer in the power of words to inspire and transform, I applaud Guanlao and hope against all odds that there could be people like him in every street in every city of the country."
24．What's Guanlao's original purpose to set up the library?
A．To make profits by sharing books. B．To motivate people into enjoying reading.
C．To express honor to his parents for education. D．To promote students' reading ability in Philippines.
25．What do we know about the Reading Club 2000?
A．The books are all from donors.
B．The library centers on protecting the books.
C．The books can be borrowed or bought as visitors wish.
D．The library targets at raising people's reading awareness.
26．Which of the following words can be used to describe Guanlao?
A．Devoted and clever. B．Ambitious and confident.
C．Generous and knowledgeable. D．Inspiring and passionate.
27．What's the best title of the passage?
A．Reading Club 2000: Free for All B．Reading Club 2000: A Public library. C．Hernando Guanlao: A Generous Charitarian. D．Hernando Guanlao: the Founder of Reading Club 2000.
C
From more boiling summers to more frequent floods, warming weather is impacting our lives in
every aspect. For animals, however, it's not just a comfortable living environment in danger, but their very existence. Many animals are in danger of disappearing due to climate change. A study published on March 7 used fossils from sea creatures to find out which animals are facing the highest risk of extinction as our planet's climate continues to shift.
Carried out by the University of Oxford, the study found that the size of an animal plays a big part in its ability to survive and reproduce. Smaller animals are more likely to become extinct because they tend to use up their energy quickly due to their size. They need lots of food to keep going, so any change that makes food scarce affects them more. Furthermore, small animals usually don't live as long as larger ones, making them more vulnerable to factors that might reduce their numbers.
Another problem is that small animals generally can't travel far. So, if their current home is disturbed, or if they face danger, it's tough for them to find new homes or escape threats, which speed up their extinction, according to the study.
Apart from small animals, those living in extreme heat or cold, such as at the poles, are facing more threats from climate change. These places go through big weather changes, making life even more difficult for species that have already been dealing with tough conditions. As climate change worsens, these extreme environments change rapidly, posing a greater risk for the animals living there.
This study presented us with important information on how to protect wildlife as the world gets warmer. By focusing on the most vulnerable species, conservationists can direct their work more effectively, making the most of limited resources and improving the chances of keeping biodiversity alive despite the environmental challenges.
28．What does the underlined word "scarce" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Insufficient. B．Available. C．Unbalanced. D．Abundant.
29．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A．Smaller animals consume their energy at a lower speed.
B．The life n of animals is definitely decided by their size.
C．The small size of animals potentially limits their travelling distance.
D．Animals' habitats destruction makes them difficult to escape threats.
30．What's the function of the first sentence in Paragraph 4?
A．Introducing the topic. B．Transiting to another point.
C．Echoing the content in paragraph 3. D．Summarizing the above paragraphs.
31．Which of the following is a suitable measure to protect wildlife?
A．Focusing on keeping biodiversity. B．Carrying out more research work.
C．Reducing the usage of limited resources. D．Paying more attention to the most endangered species.
D
When it comes to heart attacks, the first image that often comes to mind is that of a middle-aged or older overweight man, clutching his chest and struggling with a pained expression. You're far less likely to think of a female heart attack victim.
According to Forbes, medical research has traditionally been led by men, which unavoidably leads to a lack of female-related data and information in medical research. From diagnosis to treatment, gender differences are often overlooked.
A previous study found that women are 25 percent more likely to die of heart attacks than men in the same circumstances. The reason lies in the difference in heart attack symptoms between men and women. According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the top-ranking hospitals in the US, women are less likely to have chest pains, which are deemed as a typical symptom of heart attacks. Instead, they have more atypical symptoms, including shoulder pain and arm pain. As a result, many women were initially given a mistaken diagnosis, delaying access to the right treatment and increasing the fatality rate.
Even if a female is correctly and promptly diagnosed with a heart attack, there's another problem: medicine. Research has found that certain medicines used to dissolve blood clots (凝块) right after a heart attack can be helpful for a lot of men, but might lead to serious bleeding issues in women. Still, the fields of healthcare and medicine see a male's body as the "standard" human body. For example, Valium (安定) has been promoted as the "mother's little helper" for treating anxiety among women. However, a study noted that the medicine developer had never conducted a single trial involving women until 2003.
Take a look at the medicine you have taken recently: There's always one recommended dosage for adults. But who is this dosage meant for? An adult in general, or specifically an adult man? 32．Which is the reason for a lack of female-related data and information in medical research?
A．Gender differences are always ignored. B．Men play a main part in the medical research. C．The medical field is totally dominated by men. D．There is a shortage of women's diagnosis and treatment.
33．Why are women at a higher risk of dying of a heart attack than men?
A．Women are less willing to seek medical help. B．Women often display less obvious symptoms.
C．Women are more easily given a wrong diagnosis. D．Women's symptoms are often more severe than men's.
34．Why does the author mention Valium in Paragraph 4?
A．To demonstrate gender-based healthcare inequalities.
B．To call for correct use of medicine on different people.
C．To describe the historical use of Valium by both genders.
D．To show Valium's effectiveness in treating women's anxiety.
35．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Differences in heart attack treatments. B．The importance of female data in medicine. C．The gender gap in healthcare and medicine. D．Misconceptions about female data in research.

How to spot misinformation online
We've all seen it——an article online that seems absolutely crazy or unbelievable. 36 Misinformation isn't just annoying, it can be false, misleading or even dangerous. But there's good news: you have tools you can use to help sort through misinformation and identify what's real and what's fake.
Pause and be skeptical about new information. Whenever you come across an article or post that you haven't seen before, take a second to consider it. Don't just scroll by accepting it as fact without exercising some skepticism first. 37 It's better to investigate information to make sure it's legal before spreading it around.
38 Look up the information at the source to see if it was actually published there. Double-
check the date of the article or information to make sure it's current and still accurate. Usually, the date is located next to the author of the article.
Check to see if you can tell who the original author is. Find out who wrote the information by looking up the article or searching for their name. Check to see if the author is an expert who often covers the subject. If the author isn't listed, it's a sign that it could be false or misleading information.
39
Watch out for information that triggers a strong emotional response. 40 If you spot an article, a post or any other information that causes you to feel a super-strong emotion, be alerted. It could be a sign that it's fake and designed to get a reaction out of you.
A．It's okay to be doubtful!
B．Double-check the quote or the post.
C．Confirm the source and date of the information.
D．The thing is, there's a lot of misinformation out there these days.
E．If only one place is reporting something, the information may be false.
F．Misinformation is often designed to make you feel angry, sad, or scared.
G．An article by a registered doctor is more credible than one without an author mentioned.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When my boy was little, we were always on the same side. He loved life and approached everything with wild curiosity and boundless energy. I spent most of my life chasing him with great joy.
Lately, though, same-sidedness was rare. We began to argue about music, movies, and even the holes in his jeans. He complained we didn't let him have as many freedoms as his new friends had, and the friction (摩擦) was fierce. I understood that as he stretched to grow, I needed to open my hand. But Grant was often distant.
One day, when he came back from school, I smiled. "How was your day, Grant?" I wanted to hug him, but I hesitated. These teen years had brought distance.
"School was good. Track was great." The fridge door opened, and the top half of Grant disappeared behind the door.
"I'm glad," after an awkward silence, I added, "What made track great?"
Now the fridge door slammed. "I just love to run," he said, taking a huge bite of apple. "I plan to have a daily practice. I'm starting tomorrow morning."
"Wonderful," I said. Silence again. I chopped. Grant chomped.
"Well, I'm going to do homework," my son said. He grabbed his back pack and headed out of the kitchen. But when he got to the dining room, he paused for seconds and turned. "Mom, want to run with me? It'd be good to have a partner."

M: Most of us know what it's like to get presents from friends. Whether it's for a birthday or other celebration, it's hard to beat the excitement of opening a carefully wrapped box to find something unexpected and perfect for you. Now, imagine if you could get the same feeling when you go shopping for yourself. That's the feeling that comes from mystery boxes.
⑰Mystery boxes can be traced back to Japan's toys and lucky bags. They contain a range of different products, which are sold at a lower price. The key thing is that customers don't know what's in the box before they buy.
The pleasant surprise is not the only attraction of mystery boxes. They also allow people to try things that they otherwise wouldn't. Seasonal vegetable mystery boxes might lead people to learn to cook new meals. They can also possibly offer great savings. ⑱For suppliers, it allows them to sell unwanted stock for a profit. This can help reduce waste.
There is an obvious downside to mystery boxes—when you buy them, you don't know what you'll get! It may be that the goods inside are not to your taste.
