As an important part of Three Parallel Rivers Scenic Area, Potatso National Park（Pudacuo National Park）is famous for lush（草木繁茂的）mountains, meadows（草地）, lakes, rare animals and Tibetan culture. About a 50-minute drive from downtown Shangri-La, the park contains three main parts: Shudu Lake Scenic Area, Bitahai Lake Scenic Area, and Militang Alpine Pasture. You can reach them by the tourist bus from the park entrance.
Traveling around the park can be quite relaxing if you take the bus to see each scenic area one by one. Wooden boardwalks along the lakes allow you an easy walk as you take in the beautiful lake views and the surrounding mountain scenery. Or you can take a boat trip on the lakes for a more relaxing scenic experience.
If you want more of a challenge, there are also some short hiking routes in the park. Horse riding is also available in the park.
Route one: Walk from Lourong Village to Jieti Waterfall—about 2.2 km, taking about 50 minutes. You will see beautiful river views alongside the path.
Route two: Shudu Lake North Shore Pier to Tibetan Culture Experience Area—about 3 km, taking about 1.5 hours. You can see the primeval（原始的）forest and enjoy Tibetan culture during this hiking trip.
Suitable for: nature lovers, hikers.
Access: Shangri-La is about a 6-hour flight from Beijing.
Best time to visit: The weather is comfortable from May to September and the meadows are full of blooming wild flowers.

Last fall, I went to New York for sightseeing. I visited many tourist attractions there, and I also saw many unfortunate citizens on the street, like beggars and homeless folks.
Standing outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I heard a voice ask, "Can you do me a favor " When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended out. Naturally, I reached into my pocket for some change immediately and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. I was really annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. What I only thought at that moment was to send her away.
But the blind woman said with a warm smile on her face, "I don't want your money. I just need you to show me the way to the subway entrance."
In an instant, I realized what I had done just now. Her unexpected words took me by surprise and shame. I had acted with prejudice—I'd judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I felt ashamed of myself and couldn't face the old woman anymore. And I felt small beside her.
The incident reminded me that I believed in being humble, even though I had lost that belief for a moment. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the U. S. at the age of 15. Through the years, I have experienced many acts of prejudice. I remember a time at the age of 17 when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to go. It is the blind woman who cured me of my blindness.
24、What did the author think the blind woman wanted at frst sight
A. To ask for directions. B. To offer him some help
C. To demand some donations. D. To borrow money from him.
25、Why did the author feel ashamed
A. He had a prejudice on the woman.
B. He couldn't face the woman.
C. He was judged by his appearance.
D. He was an immigrant himself.
26、Why did the author mention his experience as a busboy
A. To indicate he led a miserable life
B. To tell he didn't work hard at school
C. To prove he used to be a humble man.
D. To show he used to be unfairly judged.
27、What is the best title for the text
A. Be Considerate-Always Minding Your Words
B. Be Humble-Always Dropping Your Prejudice
C. Be Generous-Always Helping Those in Need
D. Be Aggressive-Always Having a Big Dream
C
The drone（无人机）is flying above the Amazon River in Brazil, but its battery is running low. Andre Coelho, the chief pilot, guides it back to safety with skills perfected by playing video games. Long hours' practicing has become a surprising benefit in an effort to conserve dolphins that live in the river. Marcelo Oliveira, a conservation specialist, stands on the bow of a boat. He pulls the white drone from the air, changes the battery, and quickly sends it back in the sky.
Later, scientists will examine the video which has recorded for signs of the two species of dolphins that inhabit the river: the pink and bulbous boto（亚马孙河豚）, and the smaller, prettier tucuxi（白海豚）. Exactly how many live in the basin is a mystery. Some studies have suggested a decline of the pink dolphins in specific areas of the Amazon River, but the International Union for Conservation of Nature（IUCN）says there isn't enough data available for either species of dolphins.
"We need to base everything on hard data," says Miriam Marmontel, a scientist. "We need to focus on what's really critical to help us get to a real situation that can influence policy. We need numbers. We need information on death and reproduction.
Marmontel's biggest concern is that dolphins are being caught in the nets of local fishermen. Scientists have also given a warning against fishermen's killing botos. Pollution from gold mining is also a concern.
The scientists want to use the information they collect to persuade the IUCN to list the boto and the tucuxi as endangered species. Funding agencies and governments want evidence. Without the IUCN's categorization, it's difficult to raise the money for protection measures.
They hope their drone monitoring will do the trick. During three trips to the Amazon last year, the team has recorded about 70 samples（样本）that will contribute to a more accurate estimate of dolphin populations in the Amazon basin.
28、What are Coelho and Oliveira doing in the Amazon River
A. Testing the drone they designed for fun.
B. Recording the video of the flowing river.
C. Collecting data on dolphins with a drone.
D. Playing a video game
29、What can make Miriam Marmontel worry most according to the text
A. The fishermen's living conditions. B. The money for protection measures.
C. he pollution from the gold mining. D. The dolphins being caught by fishermen.
30、What is the purpose of the drone monitoring
A. To raise money to protect the Amazon basin.
B. To find evidence for the need to take measures
C To urge governments to record Amazon species.
D. To get an exact number of species in the Amazon.
31、What is the author's attitude to the drone monitoring in the text
A. Indifferent. B. Negative C. Approving. D. Unclear.
D
A small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors（肿瘤）or inaccessible areas within the human body.
Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins（穿山甲）. It is constructed with so and magnetic（磁性的）materials, allowing the robot to change its shape.
To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot's metal parts. By adjusting the frequency of these fields, the robot was able to heat up and give out heat into its surroundings. The team observed that the robot's body temperature could be over 70℃.
In addition, the researchers used the robot's heat to deliver substances within a simulated（模拟的）stomach environment. They attached something simulating medicine capsules onto the robot, which dissolved upon heating, thereby releasing the goods. This technique holds promise for targeted drug delivery inside the body.
Soon, his team also tested the robot's ability to halt bleeding. They created wounds using a dead pig's stomach. By pumping blood through a small incision using a syringe, they simulated bleeding. Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding.
According to Jake Abbott from the University of Utah, the robot could potentially be employed for targeted destruction of tumor cells, reducing the need for exposing large amounts of tissue to radiation or chemicals. By raising the robot's temperature to a level unsafe for normal cells and keeping it in place for a few minutes, cancer cells can be killed. Abbott emphasizes the high temperature sensitivity of the human body.
32、What can we infer about the small robot
A. It has been put into use.
B. It is mainly used to deliver goods.
C. It draws inspiration from the natural world.
D. It can't be used without adding hard elements.
33、How do the researchers make the robot change shape
A. By using heat. B. By using magnets.
C. By using radiation. D. By using chemicals.
34、What does the underlined word "halt" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Stop. B. Challenge. C. Evaluate. D. Explore.
35、Which can be the best title for the text
A. A Tiny Robot Will Be Used In Medicine
B. Scientists Will Make Robots Give Out Heat
C. A Small Robot Was Made To Deliver Goods
D. Doctors Have Used Tiny Robots To Cure Tumors

Remember to make it a conversation rather than a list of questions. Prepared questions are just a guideline.38. You can also try to ask your interviewee about his/her personal thoughts and reactions to events and people they deal with.
Appropriate feedback（反馈）is also important. Feel free to say words that show you are listening, like "yeah" and "Mmmm". 39. You can also give more facial feedback like smiling.

At the party, Jason learned the day was Kevin's birthday. It was such a coincidence. Jason felt it couldn't have been more amazing to celebrate Kevin's birthday at such an occasion. Therefore, they quickly organized a little birthday celebration to remember the big day. He had a jelly doughnut with icing on top, and he put a candle in it. Kevin was surprised when all the ladies, including his wife, came out singing "Happy Birthday". It was such a good day that he felt it even more worthy for his deeds.
Since that day, Jason and Kevin became brothers. Although they were once strangers at the grocery store's checkout counter, after the gathering, everything went for the better. The new brothers keep in touch through text, planning weekend outings and Family Days. Jason thinks that Kevin is one of the sincerest souls he has ever met, and he has met many. Jason's trouble with his debit card paved the way for him to meet his new brother Kevin, whose kindness changed his outlook on the world.
