蒸汽浴 B

In a small wooden sauna( ), a team of 14 people in costumes squeezed in,

including one in a Spider-Man suit. Steam hovered overhead. Three minutes were on

the clock. At exactly three minutes, everyone rushed out, found their robes and set

out in the snow searching for the next stop in the winter race.

th

At the 13 European Sauna Marathon,teams dragged through ice and snow to

clock three minutes in 18 different saunas over one afternoon. Each team is given a

map and an electronic tracker to keep everyone honest on their three minutes.

Some locations are nearly 30 miles away. At this year’s competition, in early

February, I joined a team to complete the circuit, sweating through the steam and

jumping into ice holes at top speed.

One of the competition categories is to vote on the best sauna experience.

Participants vote by heat, music, snacks and novelty. This year’s winner was a sauna

in the sky, equipped with a wood- burning stove lifted 50 feet in the air by an

industrial crane while each team sweated inside. When the sauna hit the ground, a

charming cowboy handed out ice-cold sweet drinks as a goodbye.

5

Most of the saunas are run by local enthusiasts, friendly families and businesses

giving out pre- sauna beers and grilled meats. One was a hobbit house with a snowy

roof slide that ended in an ice hole. Another served as part of the relief effort after

this sauna competition.

This year registration sold out within two hours. The entries are capped at 200

teams. But organizers say they hold 40 places for teams from abroad to experience

Estonian sauna culture. I made it to all the saunas, and my preference was

beekeeper’s sauna with an ice hole. For my part, the whole journey is less marathon

and more festival-celebrating all things sauna. It’s definitely worth a try after a

whole day’s tiring work.

24. What can we know about the 13th European Sauna Marathon?

A. Participants are supposed to compete at will.

B. Participants are not permitted to team up with others.

C. Participants experience different saunas within one afternoon.

D. Participants wear identical clothes throughout the competition.

25. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2 and 3 ?

A. The content of the sauna competition.

B. Guidance on how to assess the sauna competition.

C. The author’s skills in excelling at the competition.

D. The author’s efforts to finish the sauna competition.

26. How did the author feel after the competition?

A. Panicked and frightened. B. Satisfied and refreshed.

C. Astonished and embarrassed. D. Fearful and sorrowful.

27. In which column of a magazine can we probably read the text?

A. Life Style B. Cultural Thinking

C. Sports Club D. Fashion Costume

C

Shopping online appeals to the young and the old, but it can also be annoying

for there’re too many choices. For example, I need a toy car for my son’s birthday,

when searching for one toy car, I’m overwhelmed by several dozens of choices. To

scan customer reviews can help get a better sense of products when we can’t judge

for ourselves at a physical store. We may check out online recommendations before

booking a haircut or visiting a new restaurant. But what happens if some of those

reviews can’t be trusted?

打击

The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) recently announced that it was proposing

new measures to crack down( ) on fake reviews and other practices used to

mislead consumers. The commission published a proposed rule that would prohibit

companies from writing or selling fake reviews, buying positive reviews,

suppressing negative reviews and more.

欺骗性的

Our proposed rule on fake reviews shows that we’re using all available means

to attack deceptive ( ) advertising in the digital age, Samuel Levine,

director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement.

Research shows people overwhelmingly consult online reviews, but humans

are also bad at telling which consumer reviews hold water and which are nonsense.

What potentially causes people to worry is that nearly one in every three

reviews is fake, according to one estimate.

操控

In arguing for the proposal, the FTC cited enforcement actions it had taken

against companies that manipulated( ) reviews of their products.

In 2022, for example, the commission forced the online retailer King Flower to

pay $4.2 million to settle accusations that it blocked negative reviews from being

posted on its website - the first FIC action involving a company’s effort to hide

negative reviews.

Comments on the proposed rule have to be received within 60 days of its

publication in the Federal Register, after which the FIC will decide whether to issue

a revised final version.

28. Why is a proposed rule published by FTC?

A. To help provide better products and services.

B. To ensure true reviews are presented to customers.

C. To prohibit unfriendly reviews from online stores.

D. To prevent physical stores from breaking down.

29. What does the underlined phrase hold water in paragraph 4 most probably

mean?

A. Be reliable. B. Be official. C. Be biased. D. Be misleading.

30. Why was King Flower forced to pay $4.2 million in a settlement in 2022?

A. To delete false reviews of its products.

B. To post positive reviews on its website.

7

C. To resolve accusations of deceptive advertising.

D. To prevent it from being criticized.

31. What can be inferred about the proposed rule in the last paragraph?

A. It is well-received. B. It is still under review.

C. It is facing challenges. D. It has proven to be justified.

美国航空航天局 D

NASA( ) is looking for a new way to get its precious Mars

samples back to the earth. Those samples are being collected by the Perseverance

rover in Mars’ Jezero Crater, which hosted a lake and a river delta billions of years

ago. Getting the samples is one of NASA’s top science goals. Studying unspoiled Red

Planet material in well-equipped labs around the world could reveal key insights

into Mars, including whether it has ever hosted life.

The agency has had a Mars sample return (MSR) structure in place for some

time now, but repeated delays and cost overruns seem to have made the original

plan hard to realize. The bottom line is that $11 billion is too much,and not

returning samples until 2040 is unacceptably too long, NASA chief Bill Nelson said

during a call with reporters. That price tag is the upper-end estimate calculated by

an independent review board. A team from within NASA analyzed those September

results, determining that the agency won’t be able to get Perseverance’s samples

back to Earth until 2040 with the established structure.

NASA is now seeking a new way forward in an attempt to cut costs and get the

samples here sooner. Saving money will aid other agency science projects, and

speeding up the timeline could help the agency plan out manned Mars trips.

The wheels on the new plan are already turning. NASA is asking the Jet

Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California - its lead facility for robotic planetary

exploration - and other agency research centers for innovative MSR ideas. NASA will

hold an industry day and accept proposals. The goal is to have enough information

on hand by late fall or early winter to begin charting a new path forward on MSR.

MSR remains a top priority for NASA, despite the difficulty of the task. After all, no

country has ever launched a rocket from the surface of another planet, though three

countries have launched from the moon.

I think it’s fair to say that we are committed to bring back the samples, for this

is an important national objective. Nelson said.

32. What’s the main function of paragraph 2 ?

A. To draw readers’ attention to this topic.

B. To warn the readers of a possible failure.

8

C. To stress the importance of Mars samples.

D. To introduce some background information.

33. What does Bill Nelson think of the original MSR structure?

A. Efficient. B. Impractical. C. Sensible. D. Conservative.

34. Why is NASA seeking a new way to get its Mars samples back to Earth?

A. The current method is costly and takes too long.

B. The current method is too risky and unreliable.

C. It takes a sophisticated container to convey the samples.

D. The samples have been spoiled and need to be handled differently.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. NASA’s huge project

B. MSR, a promising plan

C. NASA’s Mars sample return plan calls for overall adjustments

D. NASA’s campaign to return Mars Samples to Earth is on hold

For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo. These places let us

see amazing animals from big cats to tiny lizards, and what they are like. It’s an

enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for these

animals?

野生动物园

36 Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and put on

show to the public in menageries ( ). 37 Modern zoos, however, have

transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures,

removing bars, and to some extent, copying their natural habitats. 圈养的

Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive( )

for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us

about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of the Zoo Licensing Act of 1981

required zoos to educate the public. 38

Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect species in

the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife

Conservation at Salford University said, There are quite a lot of different species

around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos. 39 Actor

Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the UK for its conservation work.

It brought a rare fish species back from the dead after breeding and releasing a

school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.

40 For instance, a virtual reality zoo enables the public to see rare animals and

have amazing interactions. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC, Taking a walk

through a herd of elephants in Serengeti National Park in Africa, I think, is going to

be possible pretty soon.

A. Animal welfare was not a priority.

B. Animal protection is becoming a global issue.

C. What we should do next is not to disturb wildlife.

D. New opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored.

E. Some zoos have programs to preserve the future of endangered species.

F. Long ago, people could only see wild animals as dead exhibits in a museum.

G. Since then, more zoos have been involved in raising people’s awareness of

wildlife conservation.
