Melissa Wolf’s clients come in all shapes and sizes. Some have two legs, and some have four. All of them
need a second chance.
Wolf is the founder of UnChained, a nonprofit organization in northern California that pairs vulnerable young
people with abandoned or abused dogs that have been rescued from shelters. The youth learn to train the dogs in
basic skills and better prepare them for adoption.
UnChained, founded in 2011, was born from Wolf’s own passion and personal experiences. When she was in
her early 20s and working for a nonprofit in Texas, she was shocked by the animal neglect（忽视）she witnessed
in some areas.
“Our kids often share very similar stories to the dogs, and we bring that into our classes. Many of our kids
have experienced risk factors that have led them to the lives where they are,” Wolf said. “They experience joy,
anger, fear and loneliness. When young people in our program can understand that they may share a similar story
with a dog in need, and help that dog on a path to success, it can transform how they see themselves and their
future.”
The program fosters empathy, compassion, and responsibility as students train and build trust with their
designated（认定的）dog. At the end of the eight weeks, there is a graduation ceremony where adopters, parents,
and teachers gather to celebrate the young people and dogs alike. And students get to show guests what they’ve
taught their dogs.
By establishing an emotional connection and teaching young people about a dog’s needs, Wolf says her team
sees a change occur. It’s a win- win for both the young person and the animal.
“There is a lighting up of those children’s eyes and faces, and we start to see the magic that happens and our
kids’ understanding that dogs experience feelings very similar to humans,” Wolf said.
24．What is the goal of the UnChained program?
A．To provide legal aid for animals.
B．To train the youth to prepare dogs for adoption.
C．To offer job services to troubled teens.
D．To pair the youth with dogs for friendship.
25．Which of the following motivated Wolf to establish UnChained?
A．Her career as a dog trainer.
B．A vision for a new pet adoption model.
C．A general passion for animal rights.
D．Her witness to neglected animals.
26．What do the youth do at the graduation ceremony?
A．Say good- bye to their parents.
B．Present their academic progress.
C．Show their dog training results.
D．Meet with adoptive dog owners.
27．How does Wolf sound in the last paragraph?
A．Encouraged and satisfied. B．Nervous and thrilled.
C．Appreciative and optimistic. D．Reflective and hopeful.
C
Snacks provide, on average, about one- fourth of most people’s daily calories. With nearly one in three adults
in the United States overweight and more than two in five with obesity（肥胖）, according to the National
Institutes of Health, researchers in the Penn State Sensory Evaluation Center（PSSEC）are investigating how
people can snack smarter.
The latest study investigated how eating behaviors change when consumers are served a dip（调味酱）with a
salty snack. The findings suggest that they eat more—a lot more. The chips and dip together led to a 77% greater
caloric intake, and a faster total eating rate compared to the just chips, no- dip control.
“The most striking findings of our study is that people didn’t eat fewer chips when dip was available— they
ate the same amount of chips, plus the dip,” pointed out study author John Hayes, professor of food science and
director of PSSEC．“This lack of compensation means that adding dip to chips can substantially increase overall
energy intake without people realizing it.”
The study assessed 46 adult participants. In two visits to the Sensory Evaluation Center, they were served 70
grams of ranch- flavored chips, or about 2.5servings, with or without about a third of a cup of ranch dip.
Participants ate as much as they wanted. Their intake was measured, and all eating sessions were video recorded
and annotated for the number of bites and active eating time. Researchers used that information to calculate
measures of “eating microstructure”, including eating rate and bite size.
Hayes suggested that the greater intake of the chips and dip snack was facilitated by a larger bite size resulting
from dip inclusion. On average per eating session, participants consumed 345calories of chips and dip compared to
195calories of chips alone.
“This research opens up new avenues for exploring how the physical properties of foods can influence our
eating behaviors and ultimately, our energy intake,” he said. “If we can slow people down, we can influence energy
consumption without giving up the pleasure from food.”
28．Why did PSSEC conduct the study?
A．To know about the impact of chips.
B．To get an idea of daily calories.
C．To investigate the obesity rate.
D．To make people snack wisely.
29．How does adding dip to chips affect participants?
A．Slowing eating rate. B．Eating fewer chips.
C．Taking in more calories. D．Lengthening eating time.
30．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．The result of the research. B．The process of the research.
C．The difficulties of the research. D．The influence of the research.
31．What may researchers suggest about limiting calories?
A．Eating snacks without dips. B．Replacing snacks with dips.
C．Giving up the pleasure of food. D．Decreasing portion sizes.

Monarch butterflies（帝王蝶）, with their striking orange and black wings, are some of the most
recognizable butterflies in North America. But they’re in trouble. Monarch caterpillars（幼虫）can only eat the
leaves of milkweed, a native wildflower. As milkweed has disappeared, so the monarchs have got to the point that
they’re at risk of extinction.
Research shows that planting milkweed in home gardens can add significant monarch habitat to the landscape.
In a new study in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, researchers and community scientists monitored
urban milkweed plants for butterfly eggs to learn what makes these city gardens more hospitable to monarchs. They
found that even tiny city gardens attracted monarchs and became a home to caterpillars.
Monarch butterflies have one of the most unusual and demanding migration patterns of any insect. The eastern
population of monarchs starts the year in Mexico, and they move up across North America in the spring and
summer.
“As they travel, they lay their eggs, and when those adults die, the next generation continues the migration
northward. They will make it all the way to southern Canada, and at the end of summer, a new super generation is
born that migrates all the way south and survives through the winter. Since it takes multiple generations of
milkweed- eating caterpillars to get the monarch population from Mexico to Canada each year, the monarchs rely
on milkweed plants throughout their migration path,” says Klinger, the study’s lead author and a Geographic
Information Systems analyst in the Keller Science Action Center.
Klinger and his colleague worked with volunteers around Chicagoland to monitor milkweed plants in their
yards and neighborhoods for monarch butterflies laying their eggs on the plants and caterpillars eating the
milkweed leaves.
“We wanted to answer the question: How well do these urban milkweed gardens actually support monarch
butterflies? Everybody always wants to know: What should we plant? What species of milkweed, how many plants,
how big of a garden? There are so many questions to answer, so we were hoping that we could use this project and
the data from it to start answering those questions,” says Klinger.
32．What does the underlined word “hospitable” in paragraph 2mean?
A．Critical. B．Welcoming. C．Efficient. D．Abnormal.
33．Why does the author mention the demanding migration pattern of monarch butterflies?
A．To explain how the butterflies try to reproduce.
B．To prove what a difficult life the butterflies live.
C．To find the best migration routes for the butterflies.
D．To show why milkweed is important to the butterflies.
34．What do the researchers hope to learn from their project?
A．Best planting strategies. B．Caterpillar growth rates.
C．Milkweed diseases. D．Substitutes for milkweed.
35．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Scientists raised a series of questions on planting milkweed
B．Monarch caterpillars only eat the leaves of milkweed
C．Planting milkweed can help save monarch butterflies
D．Monarch butterflies have the most demanding migration patterns

Having a little nervousness before a big test is normal, but for some students, this nervousness can turn into
anxiety. Test anxiety is a common issue that affects many students, but there are ways to manage and overcome this
challenge. Below are some tips to help you deal with test anxiety and stay calm during your exams.
Prepare thoroughly. Preparation may reduce some test anxiety. 36 Focus on understanding the
material thoroughly rather than just memorizing facts. In addition, organize your notes and use study strategies that
match your learning style to make the most of your study time.

thoroughly and take your time to understand it before answering. If you start feeling anxious, use a relaxation
technique like deep breathing to stay calm and focus.

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。
Addo Elephant National Park, a sanctuary（庇护所）for numerous African elephants, is home to both forest
elephants, which can weigh up to 4 tons, and the larger bush elephants, weighing between 6 and 8 metric tons. One
summer day, a baby bush elephant found itself trapped in a muddy pit（坑）, unable to escape. The sight was
heartbreaking for anyone who witnessed it.
The elephant herd, known for their tight- knit bonds, did their best to assist the struggling baby elephant. They
attempted to help by spraying water around the edges of the pit, hoping it would make it easier for the baby
elephant to climb out. Despite their efforts, the situation remained terrible.
The park, lacking fences or borders, made any human rescue attempt risky, as it meant getting close to the
massive, protective adults.
Undiscouraged, the dedicated park staff, known for their expertise and commitment, took immediate actions.
They quickly arrived at the scene and began digging around the pit to create a safe escape route for the distressed
baby elephant.
Unfortunately, this well- intentioned plan did not go as hoped. Instead of helping, the situation worsened. The
anxious herd huddled（挤成一团）close r around the baby, pushing the baby further into the water- filled pit.
With time running out and the tension rising, the rescuers had to think of a new strategy quickly and
creatively. In an impressive display of quick thinking and courage, the rangers decided on an adventurous plan.
They used their park vehicles to gently drive the adult elephants away. These adults, weighing several tons
each, presented a significant risk. But the rangers’ determination was firm.
Miraculously, the adult elephants, sensing the urgency and understanding the humans’ intentions, moved
away, providing the rescuers with the critical opportunity they needed.
With the adults now at a safe distance, the rangers swiftly moved in to rescue the baby elephant, which
weighed over 200 pounds.
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the rescue succeeded, there was a touching turn from the baby elephant.
But the story didn’t end there.
