I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus. Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston's news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR's news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I'd learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation----whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I've felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go on stage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status(地位), and even language. It's the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone----help anyone forget their troubles for 5,10,and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
24.How did the author feel in the early years of school
A.Curious. B.Unfree C.Loose. D.Impatient.
25.What do we know about the author's job at WBUR
A.He did it for his father. B.He did it against his will.
C.He risked his neck doing it. D.He took to it like a duck to water.
26.What does the circus probably mean to the author
A.A means of living. B.A chance to go anywhere.
C.A part of his identity. D.A way to forget his troubles.
27.Why does the author write the text
A.To express his love for circus performances. B.To stress the value of performing.
C.To share his personal experiences in a circus. D.To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
C
Recent videos claiming that a school in Ganzhou, Jiangxi, serves pre-made meals to its students have sparked heated discussions across the country. People doubt if pre-made meals, despite being convenient, are healthy and nutritious enough for growing teenagers.
Pre-made meals refer to half-finished or finished dishes that are already cooked or prepared, according to the China Cuisine Association. There are several types of pre-made foods, including ready-to-eat food, such as canned (罐装的)food or cooked food in packages, and ready-to-heat or ready-to-cook food, which requires heating or cooking before being served.
Many people tend to think that ready-to-heat and ready-to-cook foods are less nutritious because they usually need to be kept in freezers or refrigerators.
“Actually freezing does not cause a loss of nutrients,” Liu Junya, a 33-year-old dietitian in Beijing, told Teens. “Nutrient loss typically occurs during the heating or frying process.”
Vitamins from the B group and vitamin C found in meat and vegetables are heat-sensitive and can be lost during the process. By being heated or cooked twice or more, “pre-made foods can be less nutritious than freshly prepared and cooked foods,” Liu said.
Meanwhile, “many pre-made food companies prioritize taste over nutrition,” said Liu. This leads to higher levels of salt and sugar in the food, which may lead to health problems, such as high blood pressure or diabetes(糖尿病)in the long term.
Additives(添加剂) are also a major concern related to pre-made food. In China, there are strict standards for food additives. Currently, China's food industry has well-developed techniques to preserve pre-made food without the excessive use of additives. Some food can be sterilized(消毒)and then sealed(密封)after cooking, followed by low-temperature storage, allowing for a longer shelf life. However, it's essential that customers buy pre-made meals from qualified food companies or supermarkets.
It is hoped that regulations on pre-made meals can be strengthened to better ensure nutrition and hygiene(卫生).This way, “pre-made meals will be more accepted by the public,” Liu said.
28.What can we learn about pre-made meals from the article
A.They are typically costly and flavorful. B.They are rich in sugar, salt and vitamins.
C.They taste better than homemade food. D.They are already partially or fully cooked.
29.According to Liu Junya,when does nutrient loss typically occur in pre-made foods
A.During freezing. B.During cooking.
C.During packaging. D.During sterilizing.
30.What is one of the key recommendations for consumers regarding pre-made meals
A.Buy from reliable sources. B.Check the cooking instructions.
C.Keep pre-made meals frozen. D.Pay attention to the additives used.
31.What does Liu Junya think of pre-made meals
A.They are a convenient choice for all. B.They are suitable for daily consumption.
C.They can be nutritious if properly regulated. D.They are best avoided for long-term health.
D
Going from being called a “stupid molecule (分子)”to “the secret of life”, our discovery and understanding of DNA has come a long way. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA----the pivotal(关键的)year when the so-called “secret of life” was uncovered by two scientists: James Watson from the US and Francis Crick from the UK.
Inherited characteristics like eye color, nose shape and even intelligence----scientists found the structure of the chemical which transmits these from one generation to another. “Discovering how these ‘chemical’ cards are shuffled (洗牌) and paired will keep the scientists busy for the next 50 years,” journalist Ritchie Calder commented in 1953 on the discovery. And it certainly has. The study of DNA has led to world-changing advances in many fields.
“DNA makes time fluid (流动的),”said The Irish Times. It lets us redefine the future. For example, in medicine, DNA helps us identify “weak points” in the human genome (基因组)that might be prone to disease. Through a technique called gene therapy, a person's genes can be modified to treat or cure certain diseases. Another example is agriculture, where work on plant DNA has allowed us to change the way we breed (培育)crops, opening the door for genetically modified plants and advances in food security.
DNA can also shed light on the past. In forensic(法医的)science, DNA analysis has come to serve as a vital form of evidence in crime scenes, with “many millions having been proven guilty or innocent” through its usage, said the website AZoLife Sciences. And DNA in specimens(标本) like fossils and artifacts(文物) can give us vital information on humans and other species.
But what's next for DNA research Improvements in technology are allowing us to utilize DNA in new ways. As the cost of DNA technologies decreases and related machines become more efficient, it becomes more accessible, reported Wired magazine. In medicine, DNA plays a key role in furthering the development of “personalized medicine”----designing treatment plans based on the genomes and other specific factors of individual patients. As “natural supercomputers”, DNA can store large amounts of data. So scientists are busy learning from DNA to make our computers store more data and work even faster.
32. Why does the author quote Ritchie Calder's remark in paragraph2
A.To help better understand DNA. B.To highlight scientists’ efforts.
C.To stress the discovery's impact. D.To stress the importance of DNA technology.
33.What are paragraphs3 and paragraph4 mainly about
A.The diverse applications of DNA. B.The mysterious aspects of DNA.
C.Challenges of DNA research. D.Ways to expand DNA research.
34.What does the underlined word “utilize” in paragraph5 probably mean
A. protect B. use C. correct D. prevent
35.What could DNA research help with in the future, according to the text
A.The replacement of medicines. B.The reduction of medical costs.
C.The advancement of self-diagnosis. D.The improvement of computer performance.

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。
I always prided myself on my sharp tongue and witty (妙趣横生的) retorts (反驳),whether in class debates or casual arguments. So when it came time to represent my school in the national debate series, I was naturally very confident. But this challenge would turn out to be one of my life's most important lessons.
The run-up to the finals was a breeze for my team. We were all good speakers who had the benefit of an experienced teacher who trained us well. But in the team, I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, I had always been selected as the best speaker. This meant that my confidence was at an all-time high by the time we found ourselves with one week left to train before the finals. I had no reason to even think that I would not be voted the overall best speaker for the debate series.
But then I began to grow arrogant. I looked down on my teammates’ pathetic retorts and poor debating style. I thought myself a natural debater being pulled down by their bad performance. In response, I became sloppy (不认真的). I even began missing practices, much to the panic of my teammates and the frustration (沮丧) of my teacher. They could only hope I'd pull through in the end as I proved irreplaceable.
The day of the finals came. I was nearly skipping to the venue, ready to finally show off my debating prowess (杰出的技能). But the reality was not something I could have ever imagined. Due to my repeated absences, our teamwork was so bad that even our school supporters were shamed into silence. There was a rift (分歧)in the team. When it was my turn to conclude as speaker, an expectant hush(寂静)fell over the hall. I was the one meant to win the prized title of Overall Best Speaker.

第二节 One possible version:
As I launched into my speech, everything suddenly went very wrong. I was hesitant in my explanations, realizing too late that I sounded incoherent; my speech did not follow logically from my team’s other points. The puzzled looks on the judges’ faces almost drove me to tears. I realized my overconfidence only too late. After I spoke my piece, the tears finally broke their banks and burned on my cheeks. I knew that we had lost the title.
Suddenly, a teammate grabbed my hand. She comforted me, saying that it was alright. Two other teammates came over to hug me. I continued sobbing the word “sorry” to them, feeling even worse now as they repaid my irresponsibility with kindness. When we were called to receive the prize for first runner-up, we went up together as a team and bravely lifted the award. I finally realized what it was like to be part of a team. On that day, I learned that no man is an island.

Everyone forgets things occasionally. Still, memory loss is nothing to take lightly.
Although there are no guarantees when it comes to preventing memory loss, certain activities might help.
Consider the following simple ways to sharpen your memory.
Include Physical Activity in Your Daily Routine
Physical activity increases blood flow to your whole body, including your brain. This might help keep your memory sharp.
Stay Mentally Active
Just as physical activity helps keep your body in shape, mentally stimulating activities help keep your brain in shape---and might keep memory loss at bay. Do crossword puzzles. Take alternate routes when driving. Volunteer at a local school or community organization.
Socialize Regularly
Social interaction helps ward off depression and stress. Look for opportunities to get together with loved ones, friends and others---especially if you live alone.
Sleep Well
Sleep plays an important role in helping you consolidate your memories, so you can recall them down the road. Make getting enough sleep a priority.
Eat a Healthy Diet
A healthy diet might be as good for your brain as it is for your heart. Eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains. What you drink counts, too. Too much alcohol can lead to confusion and memory loss.
