I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some unknown station.

The 31 moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the contents of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.

Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband 32 it while I was on the phone in the dining room. “Does Jennifer live here?” I heard a lady say. In my husband’s hand was my wallet, with not a penny 33 . She left before I could 34 make it to the door to offer my thanks.

After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who identified the lady as Erin Smith. Without 35 , I called to thank her. She said she 36 my wallet on a bus seat. She calculated that going to a stranger’s house was a risky move, but she decided to take the chance. “If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me,” she said.

This one stranger responded beautifully to my small 37 , but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right after Erin took possession of my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license to an online forum（论坛）, trying to see 38 anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face. I’ve never exchanged words with those moms, but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the people I 39 tend to act.

Looking back, I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone 40 what almost anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely grateful.

31. A. face-saving B. brain-washing C. heart-stopping D. eye-catching

32. A. ignored B. answered C. examined D. interrupted

33. A. missing B. returned C. remaining D. abandoned

34. A. still B. ever C. yet D. even

35. A. delay B. alarm C. regret D. invitation

36. A. spotted B. placed C. opened D. moved

37. A. threat B. danger C. crisis D. failure

38. A. where B. if C. how D. when

39. A. consult B. follow C. encounter D. accompany

40. A. into B. against C. over D. beyond

You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age is, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.

The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent.

The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them produce better milk.

I’ll leave the debate on the impact on milk yield（产量） to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.

45. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.

B. There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.

C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music.

D. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.

46. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that ________.

A. people were strongly against the idea

B. Mozart played an important part in people’s life

C. the idea was accepted by many people

D. the US government helped promote the idea

47. What is the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect?

A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

48. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. What Music Is Beneficial? B. Listening to Mozart, Necessary?

C. What Is the Mozart Effect? D. To Be or Not to Be？

C

The online takeaway industry is growing in China along with the rapid development of the Internet economy. But environmental activists complain that the huge volume of plastic utensils (用具), packaging and containers presents a great challenge to the environment, and that the heavy use of throwaway wooden chopsticks is reducing natural resources.

On September 1, the Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court accepted a lawsuit filed by the Chongqing Green Volunteer League, an environmental non-government organization (NGO), against the country’s three largest food delivery platforms—Baidu Waimai, Ele.me and Meituan. The NGO stated that the companies failed to provide customers with the choice to not receive throwaway plastic utensils along with their food deliveries. Meanwhile, these utensils have created large amounts of rubbish and caused serious ecological damage.

In response, both Meituan and Ele.me, which acquired Baidu Waimai in August, have promised to take measures to reduce plastic waste. Meituan promised that it would appoint a chief environmental officer to oversee environmental issues from plastic waste and upgrade its smartphone app to provide consumers with the option of ordering food without single-use chopsticks, spoons or napkins. Ele.me followed by offering a similar choice and putting forward a plan to introduce suppliers of degradable (可降解的) plastic utensils to restaurants in the long term.

Is there a possible way out? Combined efforts by delivery platforms, consumers, restaurants and government departments are required to address plastic waste pollution.

For platforms, promoting environmental protection and introducing this idea to consumers are a meaningful move. Moreover, in the future, they should also make strict rules on the use of plastic utensils. For example, no more than one plastic bag should be used for soup dishes, and all plastic products should be degradable. It is a long and difficult task for them, and the recent reactions from Ele.me and Meituan are just beginnings.

Considering most takeout food packaging is thrown into garbage bins and then taken away along with other household garbage, sorting of waste also becomes more important. Government departments could play a major role in this, and by recycling some materials, waste pollution could be reduced and resources saved. Furthermore, there have been growing calls that the government should also invest more in developing degradable plastic products or environmentally friendly alternatives.

Though consumers enjoy the convenience yet also suffer exposure to the pollution, many of them have paid little attention to the plastic waste problem. Environmental groups suggest that consumers change their habits a little by using their own utensils and dishes and refusing unnecessary plastic containers.

49. The Chongqing Green Volunteer League accused the three food delivery platforms of _____.

A. causing damage to people’s health B. violating environmental standards

C. using many wooden chopsticks D. offering no utensil options

50. The author suggests food delivery platforms _____.

A. raise people’s awareness B. research possible alternatives

C. upgrade their application design D. hire a chief environmental officer

51. Who probably plays a more important role in promoting the sorting of rubbish?

A. Government departments. B. Food delivery platforms.

C. Environmental groups. D. Fast food restaurants.

52. The passage is mainly concerned with _____.

A. why environmental problems arise

B. who food delivery platforms affect most

C. how plastic utensil pollution can be solved

D. what efforts environmental groups have made

The Goose That Came Home

If you’ve ever witnessed the grand view of a Canada goose flock flying into the clouds, you know that these noble birds are a force to be reckoned with. Each group is composed of couples that mate for life, as well as their goslings and friends. Together, they are one large family. Apart, they are individuals with personalities. No one know this more than my family, who raised a little goose we named Peeper.

When I was around seven years old, my parents, sister and I were coming back from a T-ball game one late spring afternoon. But unlike other weekends, on this day a surprise was waiting in our driveway: two adult geese and a gosling. The adults were scared by us and flew away, but their baby was too young to fly. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid contact with the gosling in case it relied on us and got lost to its family forever.

Hours passed, and night fell. With it came a deep chill and a fear of watchful predators. It was clear that the gosling needed protection and warmth to make it to the morning, so we brought him onto our back porch and set up a wire fence to protect him. The young goose had clearly decided we were his new family. My sister, Joanna, called the little guy Peeper because he would follow us everywhere around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks tuned into months, until almost a year passed. We settled into a routine filled with feathery hugs. Part of this routine included Dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop around the house. However, Peeper flew off one day when performing the routine. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn’t come back. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory for my family.

Geese live to be around 25 years old and are very loyal. They never forget their first home. Even so, it came as a shock last year when an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. At first, I assumed it was just another goose. Yet something about the lone male seemed oddly familiar to me. He did all the things Peeper used to, including responding to the name Peeper. My old best friend had returned, 20 years later. He doesn’t come back every single night. but he’s here a lot, making his presence known and giving me joy.

This experience has been as meaningful to me as anything in my life. People long for connection with the natural world. Through Peeper, I have learned so much about myself and about the love that lives in all of nature.

58. What was the surprise when the writer and his family came back home one day?

59. Why did the writer’s family avoid contact with the gosling at first?

60. What’s the relationship between the writer and Peeper? Why do you think so?

61. What do you think the writer has learnt from this experience? （Around 40 words）

Possible version:

As we can see in the picture, a boy is climbing a high mountain, sweating all over and having a tired look. In spite of many large rocks blocking his way, the exhausted boy is still struggling on the steep mountainside, because he knows that there is a rainbow behind the mountain.

What the picture conveys is that although the way to success seems long and difficult, there is still hope like the rainbow in our hearts. In everyday life, all of us are facing many difficulties and experiencing great hardships just like the boy. However, if we are determined to get to the top, we’ll see the rainbow. Therefore, as long as we are confident and never give up, we are sure to achieve success.
