My parents had purchased an Island Packet 445 ten months prior, and the day to board this boat had finally come. I was ll years old and knew absolutely nothing about this cruising（海上航游）lifestyle my father had been speaking so highly of for the previous five years. The only thing I knew for sure was that I didn't want to leave my home. My father was excited, my mother nervous, my brother disinterested, and I sullen. I was not at all eager about this change in my lifestyle.
The first three months on the boat had not been very easy. What my dad called an adjustment period I called a nightmare. But, after three months of traveling, we had a lucky break. In La Paz, there was another cruising boat with a 13-year-old boy aboard. Two weeks later, Glen and I could be seen endlessly boogie boarding（趴板冲浪）the crashing waves to the beach. After meeting Glen, cruising for me began to get better and better. Atsome point during these months, I decided to give this cruising idea a chance.
One year later, we continued touring through the South Pacific. I was learning new skills and learning how to work independently. I often took a five-hour watch during the dark hours of long passages. This was quite a bit of responsibility to hand over to a 13-year-old , especially considering I was in charge of adjusting sails as the conditions changed, and keeping an eye and ear out for any problems. Almost everybody in the cruising community treated me as an adult while still understanding I was a child, thereby giving me the flexibility to make childish mistakes.
As of this writing, my family has now been aboard for three years. We have plans to return to Canada in 12 months and, similar to how I opposed moving onto the boat, I am now completely opposed to moving off it. I have so much fun and learn so many things on this boat that I can't imagine ever returning "home", a place I hardly even remember.
24. What does the underlined word "sullen" in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Upset. B Calm. C. Confused. D. Astonished.
25. What made the author start to embrace the cruising idea?
A. Overcoming the fear of nightmares.
B. Having fun with someone of his age.
C. Learning how to work independently.
D. Making a breakthrough in boarding skills.
26. Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A. Stubborn but reliable.
B. Childish but adaptable.
C. Inconsiderate but flexible.
D. Dependent but responsible
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Benefits of the Cruising Lifestyle
B. First Day aboard Island Packet 445
C. What Motivates a Teenager to Change His Lifestyle
D. How a Young Sailor Learns to Love the Cruising Life

The Robbers Cave Experiment was part of a series of studies conducted by social psychologist Muzafer Sherif and his workmates in the 1940s and 1950s. The researchers divided boys at a summer camp into two groups, and they studied how conflict developed between them. They also investigated what did and didn't work to reduce
group conflict. The boys were left in the dark about the experiment.
In the 1954 study, boys who were approximately 11~12 years old thought that they were participating in a typical summer camp, which took place at Robbers Cave State Park. However, the campers' parents knew that their children were actually participating in a research study.
The boys arrived at the camp in two separate groups: for the first part of the study, they spent time with members of their own group, without knowing that the other group existed. The groups chose names, the Eagles and the Rattlers.
After a short period of time, the boys became aware of the existence of the other group and began to speak negatively about the other group. Then the researchers arranged a competitive tournament between the groups, consisting of games such as baseball and tug-of-war and the relationship between the two groups quickly became tense. The campers rated their own group more positively than the rival （对立）group.
To determine the factors that could reduce group conflict, the researchers first brought the campers together for fun activities such as having a meal or watching a movie together. However, this didn't work to reduce conflict.
Next, Sherif and his workmates tried -having the two groups work on common goals. For example, the camp's water supply was cut off purposely by the researchers, and the Eagles and the Rattlers worked together to fix the problem. Working on shared goals eventually reduced conflict and friendships began to form with members of the other group. In the end, some of the campers requested that everyone from both groups take the bus home together, and one group bought drinks for the other group.
28. What can be inferred about the campers in the 1954 experiment?
A. Their parents held something back from them.
B. They were asked to take part in a social practice.
C. They were participating in a typical summer camp.
D. Their groups were formed by the names they chose.
29. What is the beginning of the boys' negative attitude to the other group?
A. Being asked to rate the other group.
B. Hearing negative remarks from the other group.
C. Competing in a tournament against the other group.
D. Becoming aware of the existence of the other group.
30. Why was the camp's water supply cut off?
A. To cause a conflict between the two groups.
B To test the campers' problem-solving ability.
C. To get the two groups to work for a common goal.
D. To see how much the campers care about each other.
31. What can be a conclusion from Sherif's experiment?
A. Fights between different groups are unavoidable.
B. One should seek friendship with outgroup members.
C. Fun activities are the best ways to reduce group conflict.
D. Group members tend to turn against outgroup members.
D
Two powerful NASA telescopes have detected the oldest and most distant black hole ever found. Data collected via energetic X-rays by the Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope has helped astronomers spot the signature of a growing black hole within the early universe just 470 million years after the big
bang, which occurred 13.8 billion years ago. The discovery, described in a study published in Nature Astronomy, may help astronomers figure out how some of the first supermassive black holes formed in the universe.
"We needed Webb to find this remarkably distant galaxy（星系）and Chandra to find its supermassive black hole, " said lead study author Akos Bogdan, in a statement." We also took advantage of a cosmic magnifying glass ( 宇宙放大镜）that boosted the amount of light we detected." He was referring to an effect called gravitational lensing（引力透镜效应）, which occurs when closer objects act like a magnifying glass for distant objects. Gravity essentially twists and strengthens the light of distant galaxies in the background of whatever is doing the magnifying, enabling observations of otherwise invisible features.
Astronomers detected the black hole in a galaxy called UHZ1. At first glance, the galaxy appeared in the same direction as a cluster of galaxies known as Abell 2744 , which is located about 3. 5 billion light-years from Earth. But data collected by the Webb telescope showed that UHZl is actually much farther away and located beyond the cluster at 13. 2 billion light-years from Earth.
The team used the Chandra Observatory to detect superheated gas releasing X-rays within UHZ1, the obvious sign of a supermassive black hole growing in size. The detection was made possible by the Abell cluster of galaxies, which intensified the light of the UHZ1 galaxy and the X-rays released by the black hole by a factor of four.
Astronomers think the discovery will help them better understand how supermassive black holes appeared and reached their huge masses so soon after the beginning of the universe.
32. What's the possible age of the newly-found black hole?
A. 470 million years.
B. 13.33 billion years.
C. 13. 8 billion years.
D. 14.27 billion years.
33. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The process of the research.
B. The significance of the discovery.
C. The contributors to the discovery.
D. The background of the research.
34. Which best shows the position of Abell 2744, Earth and UHZ1?(A:AbeII2744; E: Earth; U:UHZ1)
A. B.
C. D.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A The oldest and most distant black hole spotted.
B. Two powerful NASA telescopes coming into service.
C. New supporting evidence of the Big Bang Theory detected.
D Astronomers figuring out how the first black holes formed.

A Birthday Surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa's hand absently stroked（抚摩）the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. "He does this day after day?" I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. "I don't know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can't satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can't be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever," Mama sighed.
"I'm going down to talk to him," I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. "What are you and Ral ph thinking about all these hours you spend out here?" I asked,
"We're not thinking," he said softly. "We're wishing." I sat on the grass beside his chair. "Wishing for what?" "For the impossible, I suppose," he sighed. "You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it," I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. "But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible." "Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly?" I asked.
Papa grinned（咧嘴大笑）, and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. "Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches," Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They'd start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.
