My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn't know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned“ pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise landed a three- month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about The Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash (垃圾). It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic- free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It's been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country- wide beach clean- up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like- minded people. It's been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed
24. Why did the author do pet sitting
A. To raise fund. B. To protect the environment.
C. Po cover travel expenses. D. To shoot beautiful beaches.
25. What does the author intend to convey through her story
A. Pet sitting is a new type of occupation.
B. The Caribbean is an ideal travel destination.
C. Travel blog is a superb way to gain popularity.
D. Action should be taken to fight plastic pollution.
26. How did the author find her experience in the Caribbean
A. Significant. B. Challenging. C. Adventurous. D. Dreadful.
27. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Changing Lifestyles by Pet Sitting
B. Unexpected Gains from Pet Sitting Travel
C. Dealing with Global Environment Pollution
D. The Availability of Pet Sitting in the Caribbean

One of the major reasons we take photos in the first place is to remember a moment long after it has passed: the birth of a baby, a reunion, etc. However, every time we snap a quick picture of something, we could in fact be harming our memory of it.
Linda Henkel, a professor of psychology at Fairfield University in Connecticut, studied how taking photos impacts experience and memory. She conducted an experiment using a group of undergraduates on a guided tour of the university’s Bellarmine Museum of Art. The students were asked to take photos of objects that they looked at on the tour and to simply observe others. Later, she tested their memory of all the objects they had seen on the tour. The results were clear. Overall, people remembered fewer of the objects they had photographed. They also couldn't recall as many specific visual details of the photographed art, compared to the art they had merely observed.
“ When you take a photo of something, you' re counting on the camera to remember for you,” Henkel said.“ You don't engage in any of the complex or emotional kinds of processing that really would help you remember those experiences, because you' ve outsourced it to your camera.”
Then, Henkel ran another study. This time when people took a tour of the museum, they were asked to take two kinds of photos: those of the objects in the exhibit alone and those with them standing next to the objects. It turns out that it actually changes their viewpoint on the experience, whether they' re in a photo or not. In other words, if you are in the image, you become more removed from the original moment as if you are an observer watching yourself doing something outside yourself. Interestingly, if you are not in the image, you remember more.
Henkel doesn't disagree that the purpose of outsourcing our memory-to devices can free up our brains to do other cognitive(認知的) processing. But from the experiments Henkel is sure that cameras can't compare to what the brain is capable of with input from the eyes and the ears.
28. What can we conclude from Henkel's first experiment
A. People take photos to remember a moment.
B. Taking photos is a complex or emotional process.
C. Taking photos influences experience and memory.
D. People observe more of the objects when taking photos.
29. When you are in a photo, you .
A. return to the original moment B. remember more about the object
C. change your viewpoint on the photo D. become an observer outside yourself
30. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage
A. To explain the reasons why people take photos.
B. To introduce the disadvantages of taking photos.
C. To persuade people not to rely on photos for memory.
D. To express disapproval of the use of devices to free brains.

The car has reshaped our cities. It seems to offer autonomy for everyone. There is something almost delightful in the separation from reality of advertisements showing mass- produced cars marketed as symbols of individuality and of freedom when most of their lives will be spent making short journeys on choked roads.
Despite top speeds and cornering ability advertised, the most useful gadgets on a modern car are those which work when you' re going very slowly: parking sensors, sound systems, and navigation apps which will show a way around upcoming traffic jams. These apps know where almost all the users are, and how fast they are moving almost all the time, they can spot traffic congestion(堵塞) very quickly and suggest ways round it.
The problem comes when everyone is using a navigation app which tells them to avoid everyone else using the same gadget. Traffic jams often appear where no one has enough information to avoid them. When a lucky few have access to the knowledge, they will benefit greatly. But when everyone has perfect information, traffic jam s simply spread onto the side roads that seem to offer a way round them.
This new congestion teaches us two things. The first is that the promises of technology will never be realised as fully as we hope. They will be limited by their unforeseen and unintended consequences. Sitting in a more comfortable car in a different traffic jam is pleasant but hardly the liberation that once seemed to be promised. The second is that self-organisation will not get us where we want to go. The efforts of millions of drivers to get ahead do not miraculously produce a situation in which everyone does better than before, but one in which almost everyone does rather worse. Central control and collective organization can produce smoother and fairer outcomes, though even that much is never guaranteed.
Similar limits can be foreseen for the much greater advances promised by self- driving cars. One autonomously operated car by the taxi company Uber struck and killed a woman pushing her bicycle across a wide road in Arizona. Experts have said that it suggests a“ catastrophic failure” of technology.
Increasingly, even the top tech- company has to acknowledge the costs of intoxicating(令人陶醉的) hurry that characterizes its culture. What traffic teaches us is that reckless and uncontrolled change is as likely to harm us as it is to benefit us, and that thoughtful regulation is necessary for a better future.
31. What can we infer about the car advertisements
A. They present a false picture of the cars.
B. They emphasize the mass production of cars.
C. They portray drivers enjoying speed on the road.
D. They pursue individuality and freedom in design.
32. What can we know about the various gadgets on cars
A. They are constantly upgraded. B. All of them are used effectively.
C. Only some can be used frequently. D. They can help to relieve traffic jams.
33. What does the author say about the use of the navigation app
A. It benefits those who are learning to drive.
B. It is likely to create traffic jams in other places.
C. It helps a great deal in easing traffic congestion.
D. It sharply reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents.
34. What do we learn about technology from the passage
A. It seldom delivers all the benefits as promised.
B. Its consequences are usually difficult to assess.
C. Its benefits are guaranteed by collective wisdom.
D. It depends on the required knowledge for application.

In a perfect world, people would not test medicines on animals. Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time- consuming for people. 35 That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.
36 Even so, its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats, for medical research. Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year. But that is misleading. The American government does not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher. 37
Now Europe is changing the rules governing animal experiments by limiting the number of animals used in labs. 38 In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use. At present, scientists often share only the results of successful experiments. If their findings do not fit the hypothesis(假說) being tested, the work never sees the light of day. This practice means wasting time, money, and animals' lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.
Animal experimentation has taught humans a great deal and saved countless lives. 39 Europe's new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is done.
A . They should be stopped.
B . Lab animals are mainly used in developed countries.
C . Japan has even less comprehensive data than America.
D . It needs to continue, even if that means animals sometimes suffer.
E . Europe, on the whole, has the world's most restrictive laws on animal experiments.
F . Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge wide gap s in medical knowledge.
G . Alternatives to animal testing, like using human tissue, are now strongly recommended.

In 1983, Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard, published Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. In the book, he presented one type of intelligence that everyone must develop if they want to be successful. That is emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and regulate your own emotions. It means having a deep understanding of yourself, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and handling reactions and emotions wisely. Emotional intelligence is critical for success in almost any field and it is especially important for high- stress environments, for example, when times are tough and when a person wants to quit or is fearful.
We all know highly emotional people. Rather than react wisely, they tend to let their emotions run their lives, often saying or doing something they may later regret. I’ve seen many people do this on social media, getting in arguments with love d ones over trivial stuff because they have different opinions. This inability to master the self leads to many struggles and heartaches for people.
Emotional intelligence does not mean being void (沒有) of emotions. It means you know it is okay to be angry, just not out- of- control angry. You know it's okay to feel hurt, but it is not okay to do something stupid in the name of revenge (報復). Many of us know people who are very intelligent, but allow their emotions to damage their lives.
Now, reflect on how you manage your emotions. Are you smart in the way you express what you' re feeling, especially when the pressure is on
40. According to the passage, what is“ emotional intelligence”
41. How do highly emotional people deal with their emotions
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
It's important to keep your emotions under control. so when you get hurt, you should neither get angry nor do stupid things for revenge.
43. In your daily life, what can you do to better man age your emotions

44.
（1）I manage my emotions in two ways. Firstly, I like writing down my bad feelings, which enables me to let go of them so that I can focus more on what makes me cheerful. Secondly, when conflict occurs, it helps to talk openly about my feelings and thoughts.
（2）I improve my emotional control from two aspects. When in conflict with others, I address it with a shoe-shifting view, which helps me better understand them and avoid highly emotional response. As for my negative feelings, I prefer to let them out in a healthy way, such as running or singing, which benefits me emotionally.
