at a shop a mile or so from my home.I had three items.A woman with his teenage boys ahead of me had twice as many items as mine.The customer at the register,a white-haired woman,had already begun to bag her items and was holding out cash to pay for them.Then came the problem.Sometimes its a customer who forgot to weigh a piece of fruit,or someone searching for exact change.Fair enough,One waits.But today,it was something else,For whatever reason,this white-haired woman didnt have enough money,And so she began choosing which items to keep and which to hand back.She looked at each one for a long time before keeping or giving it up.We waited,Longer lines rushed ahead,The wait went on and on.Outside,my bus came and went,Finally in the black,the woman turned back to us as she left,with her face turning red.We waved off her discomfiture.It could happen to anyone.We were honestly understanding.But I had no idea just how understanding the family ahead of me were until their turn came.The woman with the teenagers asked the cashier to add all the items the white-haired woman had left to her list as quickly as possible.The cashier did as told,Then the two boys rushed to the white-haired woman with the small bag of items.When they returned.it was clear their task had been completed.All it took to witness this act of kindness was waiting a little longer in a checkout line.I could have caught the next bus.But I felt so light on my feet that I walked home instead.24.How does the author start the text?A.By introducing a way of payment.B.By describing a situation in a

a special larynx(喉)that enables them to sing.l but they didnt know exactly how they produced sound.“You cant just go down a baleen whale and see what theyre doing when theyre singing,”jokingly says Joy Reidenberg,a professor who studies whales.Above all,dead whales are usually destroyed by natural chemical processes too quickly to collect living tissue samples.Three young whales which happened to approach the shore close to his lab enabled lead author Coen Elenans to simulate(模拟)what happens when the animals produce sound.Thevd assumed that the inner edges of the whales vocal cords(声带)rub together to make sound,but the experiment revealed the vocal cords rub against a fat part at the back of the larynx.Reidenberg thinks the sample size of the study just three animals is too small for such a generalization,and that scientists need to examine more samples,Heidi Pearson,professor of marine biology at University of Alaska Southeast,agrees,Shed like to see a different family of whales examined for comparison,as the three individuals studied were all young whales.Elemans says he wants to study adult males,which are known for their singing.But the experts acknowledge the challenge in doing so,“Just getting those samples is n great achievement in its own right,”says Pearson.The researchers did another study.They used 3-D computer simulations to recreate what happens when the whales larynx muscles are activated.They discovered these structures cannot produce sound at higher frequencies than 300 hertz(Hz),or below depths of about 330 feet.“Unfortunately,that depth and frequency range overlap(重叠)almost perfectly with what humans make,”says Elemans,meaning they may struggle to compete with noise generated by ships,which send out sounds between 30 and 300 Hz.“Thats why the study emphasizes an urgent need to decrease noise pollution by limiting shipping traffic,setting up slow zones,protecting areas with lots of vocalizing whales,making ships quieter,”says Reidenberg,“and using real-time data in conservation plans.”28.What is the challenge of studying how baleen whales produce sound?A.Dealing with dead whales tissues.B.Getting suitable samples for study.C.Simulating the whales vocal cords.D.Analyzing 3-D computer simulations.29.What is Heidi Pearsons attitude towards the first study?A.Doubtful.B.Admiring.C.Unclear.D.Optimistic.30.What can we infer from the second study?A.Ships on the sea frequently run into baleen whales.B.Baleen whales enjoy competing with mankind on sound.C.Baleen whales vocal cords rub together to make sound.D.Human-made sounds affect baleen whales producing sound.31.What does Joy Reidenberg suggest doing at last?A.Ships are supposed to make way for vocalizing whales.B.More data should be collected to analyze noise pollution.C.Making plans to do further search on baleen whales habitat.D.Taking measures to cut noise pollution for whale conservation.DA surprising new research from Auckland University of Technology(AUT),New Zealand contradicts the commonly held view that surfers are folks only focused on their own fun.Instead,they often play an important role in saving lives.The research reveals that these thrill seekers selflessly save people they see struggling in the ocean as swimmers or after boating incidents,and so actually reduce deaths from drowning(溺水),playing a key role in making beaches safer.According to the World Health Organization,an estimated 236,000 people drown worldwide each year,with drowning the third leading cause of unintentional death.However,according to a survey,at the heart of the research,life-saving acts of heroism by surfers who save others in difficulty in the ocean waters around them,are surprisingly common.In fact,based on the sample of 418 surfers,respondents reportedly rescue an average of three people drowning or struggling in the water over the course of their lives,and some even report taking part in 10 to 20 rescues.This makes surfers the under-recognized guardians of the beach rather than the self-centered images shown in movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High,or Point Break.In addition,the survey found that in almost 90 percent of rescues,people aided by the responding surfers required no further treatment after the incident,making their help unlikely to be reported and so recorded,As one of the surveys co-authors Jamie Mead says,“We need to get surfers the recognition they deserve and do more research to accurately quantify(用数量表述)how many rescues theyre actually doing.”Since this research was published,there has been a growing interest in the training of surfers in life-saving skills.Sonia Keeper,an experienced surfer and instructor,explains that the insights provided by the survey have motivated surfing organizations to expand their reach and connect with an even broader community of surfers.“If life-saving skills are rolled out(正式推出)to the broader coastal surfer communities around the world,this preparation can help ensure that a good day at the beach doesnt turn into a sad one,”she adds.32.What is the typical impression of surfers according to the text?A.They have an interest in saving lives.B.They are self-centered pleasure seekers.C.They are the spotlights of most beaches.D.They seldom witness drowning incidents.33.What does the survey find?A.Surfers have saved many people from drowning.B.Surfers are experienced in treating the drowned.C.People at the beaches speak highly of surfers.D.People are in need of more recognized guardians.34.What is the function of the last paragraph?A.To tell the necessity of surfing organizations.B.To emphasize the popularity of a new type of sport.C.To prove the benefits of taking surfing training.D.To show the researchs societal significance.35.Why does the author write the text?A.To criticize peoples wrong view on surfers.B.To promote much wider acceptance of surfing.C.To recognize surfers crucial role in beach safety.D.To appeal for helping each other at beaches第二节第二节(共共 5 小题小题;每小题每小题 2.5 分分,满分满分 12.5 分分)阅读下面短文阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you navigating the
