I cried the first time I saw the Notre Dame（巴黎圣母院）years ago. I'd waited my entire life to see this great French architecture, and experienced it in its full glory on a bright sunny day. Last night, I again cried for the centuries-old church while watching it burn.
I hadn't expected to spend my evening that way. My friend and I were having dinner at
a cafe a block or so away from the Notre Dame, choosing to skip going inside with the intention to go back the next day.
However, we heard that it caught fire, so we left the cafe and ran towards the church, following heavy smoke from it, and soon we joined a nearly silent crowd. Some were praying, some were crying, but most were staring in disbelief at the disaster happening before us. The fire continued to get worse. About 400 firefighters were working to control the fire. We could see their flashlights shining as they inspected the front from a balcony.
The Notre Dame is part of the heartbeat of Paris, I reflected on the experiences I've had
there, from attending a bread market out front to admiring the beautiful windows and architecture inside. It is a spot that helps make Paris magical. And here we were, watching it burn down. It was too much to handle, but it was impossible to look away.
About 9：30 pm, the gathered crowd spontaneously（自发地）began to sing Hymns （圣歌）to the church. We sang along with the group, feeling at once less like tourists and more like members of them. I hadn't imagined all that before.
For hundreds of years, the Notre Dame has seen the most joyful and the most terrible moments in the lives of both France and her people. And when everyone was able to become one emotional force, it showed that even in her darkest hour, the Notre Dame was still there to bring us all together.
24. Why did the author cry for the Notre Dame for the first time?
A. She was sorrowful to watch it burn.
B. She was touched by its greatness.
C. She was regretful for missing its glory.
D. She was excited about French cultures.
25. What was the author doing when the Notre Dame caught fire?
A. Heading for a faraway cafe.
B. Visiting a church with a friend.
C. Eating nearby with a friend.
D. Wandering along the street alone.

A. Firefighters kept people away with shining flashlights.
B. People were nervously rushing in different directions.
C. Hundreds of volunteers joined in putting out the fire.
D. People expressed their sadness in different ways.
27. What impressed the author most?
A. People were brought together to sing to the church.
B. Many foreign tourists became members of the church.
C. The church survived disasters for hundreds of years.
D. The church allowed visitors to gain great experiences.

Becoming famous is the dream of many, and Tian is getting closer to that dream.
Tian, 30, is a white-collar worker in Beijing. On short video application Douyin, Tian has more than 2,000 fans. So far, she has received more than 50,000 likes on the Dubsmash-like app. On her page on Douyin, Tian shares everything, from her son’s daily activities, to her pet dogs, to little skits (段子) made up by her and her husband. “Making funny videos, and combining them with music is r eally interesting,” Tian said. “Of course, I
make the videos for fun because it is quite relaxing.”
China's short video market has seen great growth, according to a report. The report said that China's short video market was valued at 5.73 billion yuan ($900 million) in 2017, an increase of 184 percent. The industry value is expected to go up to the 30 billion mark in 2020. Companies like Tencent, Sohu and Iqiyi have all started providing short video content.
“Short videos are popular because they are an ad dition to traditional audio and video content on the internet,” said Sun Jiashan with the Chinese National Academy of Arts.
Fans say that the short videos help them “chill out” from a stressed-out lifestyle. “My favorite videos are all about pets,” said Zhou Na, a nurse in Hefei, capital of East China’s Anhui province. “After a whole day’s work, watching the 15-second videos makes me laugh, which reduces my pressure.”

Compared to dogs, cats are often considered to be aloof （冷漠的）with respect to their human owners. It is usual for them to be indifferent （无动于衷的）when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don’t understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we’ve been
fooled. Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them. In the study, scientists recruited 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns that resembled their names while the final word was the cat’s name. Then they observed the cats’ responses, if there were any.
Most of cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names, while they made no response to other words. That suggested, “cats were p aying attention to you, what you say and what you do,” John Bradshaw, an expert on human-animal interactions （互动）at the University of Bristol, UK, told The Times. “And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,” she added.
In the study, when people called their names, cats often associated (联系) the words with rewards, such as food or play, or with “punishments” such as having a bath or going to the vet . This made cats sensitive (敏感的) to words. After the cats had been called several times, they could respond to the words. But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved （进化）to follow their owners’ orders, cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant, they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However, technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So, the next time you hear “meow, meow”, your cat may be telling you: “Hi, you haven’t cleaned my litter b ox recently.”
32.What did the recent study find about cats?
A. Cats can recognize their names.
B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C. Cats learn more slowly than dogs.
D. Cats are willing to follow orders.
33.What does the underlined word“resembled”in para graph 2 probably mean?
A. were limited to
B. were different from
C. were similar to
D. were away from
34.Why do cats appear distant to their human owners?
A.They associate words with punishments.
B. They want to protect themselves from harm.
C. They are not sensitive to the human voice.
D. They don’t pay much attention to their surroundings.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is difficult to understand cats’ meows.
B. Interaction with your cats is very important.
C. Cats do have good relationships with their owners.
D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.

In China, traveling by train is a common way to visit new places and go back to one’s hometown during holidays. 36 It wasn’t always that way, though.
37 Later, many railway companies started up and competed with each other to build ne w railway routes. Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City’s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark(地标). 38 For example, Johnny Cash wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues.
But little by little, railways were replaced by highways as “car culture” took over the US. China would go on to use trains even more widely than the US. 39 It allows people to travel fast with ease. This is especially obvious during Chunyun, when China’s train stations are crowded with thousands of people who are trying to get home.
I had never traveled by train until I moved to China. My first trip by train was from Beijing to Tianjin by high-speed train. It was amazing how quickly I could get there-just half an hour. Since then, I’ve taken the trai n to lots of other cities—Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenzhen. It’s always a good time. 40 And for some reason, even instant noodles taste better on the train than they do anywhere else.
A. Musicians even created music works about trains.
B. But in the US, traveling by train is a very old tradition.
C. People on the train tend to be friendly and happy to chat.
D. China’s railway network connects the entire country.
E. The US railway system started to grow in 1826.
F. Traveling on a high-speed train costs more than traveling on a normal train.
G. But there are many differences between Chinese and US railways.
