In August 2019, two citizen scientists, Sunniva Sorby and Hilde FalunStrom landed on Spitsbergen, in Norway’s Svalbard island group. They planned to work through the winter, then go home in May 2020. But their ship could not come because of COVID-19 shutdowns. For fourteen months, they lived in a small cabin on an icy island near the North Poles. Sometimes, hurricane-force winds forced freezing air through the cabin’s slats. Once, wind ripped the door open. Sunniva and Hilde couldn’t close it until the storm ended! Between storms, silence settled on the cabin. Then, they could hear the crunch-crunch-crunch of polar bears walking in the snow.
Their days started at 7 am and ended after midnight. Each morning, they wore down-stuffed jackets and pants as they waited for the wood-burning stove to heat the cabin. They cut pieces of freshwater ice to melt for drinking, cooking and bathing. For the stove, they gathered driftwood. They cooked their meals, including pizza! These tasks used up large stretches of each day. They also kept in touch with schools and other groups. They wrote blog entries and answered e-mails. For fun, they danced to music, exercised, practiced yoga and read.
“We are efficient here,” Sunniva wrote. “We have a routine, habits, and systems. We have time for what matters most living safely while making a contribution to our understanding of a changing world.” They conducted lots of experiments. They gathered data on climate change, using a drone (无人机) to measure sea-ice temperatures. They observed wildlife and tested new technologies, including an electric snowmobile.
To stay four extra months, they had to eat smaller amounts of food so they wouldn’t run out. “It was difficult being here, so far away from everything,” Sunniva wrote. “Food, shelter, and warmth are often taken for granted until you are on your own.” But, they wrote, “We have packed our patience, our smiles, and good spirits.” And they enjoyed the adventure, finding ordinary miracles every day.
4. What can we learn about the two scientists on Spitsbergen
A. They lived a boring life there. B. They could always keep the door closed.
C. They brought drinking water with them. D. They stayed in contact with other groups.
5. What did Sunniva and Hilde do according to Paragraph 3
A. They watched the wildlife carefully. B. They invented an electric snowmobile.
C. They conducted experiments on drones. D. They collected data of new technologies.
6. Which of the following best describes these two scientists
A. Generous. B. Optimistic. C. Sensitive. D. Honest.
7. What does the author want to convey through the two scientists’ story
A. Well begun, half done. B. It’s easier said than done.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C
Favored by many internet influencers, the city of Zibo, once a sleepy industrial city, has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. The topic Zibo “barbecue” on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was played 4.96 billion times since the city stormed the Internet for over a month. On 29 April, Zibo Railway Station saw a record 87,000 train trips to and from the station, according to Chinese news website Caixin.
Local authorities in Zibo have been quick to respond to the sudden flow of visitors. A barbecue zone that can accommodate 10,000 people, featuring live band performances, was built overnight. Volunteers have been dispatched to the railway station to offer advice and recommendations to tourists. Designated (指定的) buses and trains bring tourists to and from the hottest barbecue spots. The government has even threatened to punish profiteering hotels who raise prices by more than 50% .
What makes Zibo barbecue so special is that it does offer a distinctive (独特的) dining experience. The skewers (烤串) are 70-80 percent cooked before they are brought to the table, where diners can finish cooking them on their own stoves, offering an immersive dining experience.
Zibo’s low prices are also appealing. Many college students in Shandong have made concrete plans to enjoy Zibo barbecue at the least cost, and traveling back and forth by train for only 200 yuan ($29.1). So what better way to attract adventurous, hungry college students with a tight budget other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full for only 50 yuan!”
The locals seem happy enough about the arrival of visitors and shy away from hot spots to make space for outsiders, saying they are proud that their hometown has gained nationwide fame.
8. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The history of Zibo.
B. The influence of social media.
C. The newfound popularity of Zibo.
D. The crowdedness of Zibo Railway Station.
9. What makes Zibo barbecue attractive to college students
A. Unique dining experience. B. Convenient transportation.
C Wonderful performances. D. Affordable prices.
10. What is the local people’s attitude to the arrival of tourists
A. Favorable. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Critical.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To promote an industrial city.
B. To introduce barbecue in Zibo.
C. To explain how to attract tourists.
D. To show the popularity of barbecue.
D
People are motivated to try a vegetarian (素食的) diet for different reasons — from ethical and religious, to potential health and environmental benefits. But many people have a hard time sticking to it. In fact studies show many self-reported vegetarians actually do consume some animal products.
“A lot of people who want to be vegetarian are perhaps not able to,” says Dr. Nabeel Yaseen, of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “We wanted to know if genetics (遗传学) is part of the reason,” he says.
Yaseen and his team members compared the DNA of about 330,000 people. They found 34 genes that may play a role in sticking to a strict vegetarian diet. And they identified 3 genes that are more tightly linked to the feature.
“What we can say is that these genes (基因) have something to do with vegetarianism,” Yaseen says. “Perhaps vegetarians have different variants of these genes that make them able to choose a strict vegetarian diet,” he explains. The study is published in PLOS ONE, a peer-reviewed science journal.
Interpreting the genetic role is not exactly an easy task to finish. Humans have thousands of genes and there are millions of tiny variations (变异) in DNA building blocks, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), where you can see differences between individuals.
To identify SNPs that are connected with the particular feature of sticking to a vegetarian diet, Yaseen and his workmates did a genome-wide connection study. When they found a SNP connected with vegetarianism, they looked to see the genes around it in the same area.
Of the three genes most strongly connected with vegetarianism, the authors say two of them (known as NPC1 and RMC1) have important functions in lipid- or fat- metabolism. The study can’t answer exactly how genetic differences could shape or influence vegetarians, but Dr. Yaseen has some ideas. His research has disclosed many unknown aspects of genetics.
12. Why did Dr. Nabeel Yaseen research vegetarians
A. To understand health benefits of vegetarianism.
B. To investigate genetics in vegetarian devotion.
C. To study environmental impact of vegetarianism.
D. To explore the cultural aspects of vegetarianism.
13. What can we learn about genes from Yaseen’s study
A. They have the same variations. B. They determine vegetarian fat.
C. They may influence vegetarianism. D. They play no role in dietary choices.
14 What is the author’s attitude to Yaseen’s findings
A. Critical. B. Appreciative. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Benefits of Vegetarianism
B. The Diet Research on Vegetarians
C. Challenges in Maintaining a Vegetarian Diet
D. The Role of Genetics in Vegetarian Devotion

During that hot summer, little Sammy and his sister Marie spent their vacation at their grandparents’ farm. The farm was filled with fun and adventure, but one day, an unfortunate accident occurred. While playing, Sammy accidentally shot his grandmother’s beloved pet duck with a slingshot (弹弓). Panicked, he quickly hid the duck behind a pile of old wood in the yard. He was afraid to tell his grandmother the truth, worried about being punished.
However, what he didn’t know was that his sister Marie had seen the entire event. The next day, when Grandma asked Marie to wash the dishes, Marie seized the opportunity to shift the responsibility onto Sammy. She said, “Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen today, Grandma.” Sammy was shocked and confused because he had not said such a thing. Marie approached him and whispered threateningly, “Remember the duck ” It was then that Sammy realized Marie had seen his secret and was now using it to make him do the housework she didn’t want to do.
This situation continued for several days. Whenever there were household chores to be done, Marie would threaten Sammy with “Remember the duck ”. Sammy felt an increasing burden of guilt and responsibility.

Person of the Year
I would like to nominate my friend Emily as the Person of the Year. She is a selfless individual who has dedicated countless hours to volunteering in our community.
Despite her busy schedule, Emily always finds time to help others. One particular story that stands out is Emily’s involvement in a local food drive. Not only did she help gather donations, but she also took the initiative to deliver the collected food to families in need. Her dedication and determination were evident as she tirelessly spread kindness and supported those facing hardships.
I recommend Emily for this prestigious title because of her unwavering commitment to helping others. She is a role model for us and serves as a reminder that a single individual can make a significant difference.
52.
Finally, he couldn’t bear the secret and pressure any longer and decided to tell everything to Grandma. Grandma knelt down smiling, gave him a hug and forgave him. Grandma called Marie to come to her and disclosed the whole truth, and meantime blamed her for taking advantage of her brother. Marie also felt ashamed and regretful, so she said sorry to Grandma and her brother, promising not to do so again. Both of them learned a lot from this trip. So it is important to admit your mistake, apologize and seek others’ forgiveness.
