The shop where Dad works is not equipped with enough workers, so theres lots of pressure on Dad. Ive been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didnt qualify for the swim team. Now Ill have to wait a whole year to try out again; that might as well be a million years.Dad knew I was feeling pressure. Last Saturday he said it was time for me to help in the kitchen. I couldnt imagine what help I could offer. Still, I followed right behind him.Dad gave me an apron, got out his enormous stainless-steel mixing bowl, and told me to stir while he added the ingredients. When I had stirred the flour and milk mixture into a thick lump (块), Dad had me turn it over onto the countertop. Then he showed me how to knead (揉) the dough (生面团), which took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy.Next came the most difficult and surprising part doing nothing. We waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly swell up and double in size. After that, we punched the risen dough down to let the air out, divided it in two and waited for another hour.“Its hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough. The most important lesson of all is learning to be patient,” Dad explained.While we waited, we sat and talked. Silence is a blank space that begs to be filled. Its like the dough it swells up and fills a room with emptiness unless you punch it down with words. It felt good to be still and listen to each other. As the flour dust in the kitchen quietly settled, time seemed to slow down. The dough was going to rise at its own pace. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and drumming my fingers on the tabletop. I started enjoying the quiet time with Dad. My father taught me how to bake bread, but I think I learned something more.24. Why did Dad ask the author to help in the kitchen?A. Dad himself was under huge pressure.B.

Its time to dig out your Octopus card for convenient payment of transport fares and much more.No Octopus card, no problem! The options for transport payment in Hong Kong have become more diverse and convenient in recent years. People can now pay for public transport using WeChat Pay, Alipay, bank cards or credit cards. And the Octopus card, which has a wide variety of uses, can now be put into the electronic mobile wallet and can be used even if your phone is out of battery.Are you figuring out the best way to get to the city center from the airport? The Airport Express takes only 24 minutes to travel from the airport to downtown. If you want to get off the plane and go straight to Central district, the fast and comfortable Airport Express is the best choice.The Airport Express platform is connected with the airports arrival hall and has multiple entrances. It takes as little as a minute for passengers to enter the platform from the arrival hall. The trains provide large luggage storage areas, as well as high-speed Wi-Fi and charging facility. More importantly, the Airport Express connects you with other MTR lines. Whether for business travel or sightseeing, the Airport Express can save you a lot of time.In addition to the MTR and buses, Hong Kongs public transportation system also includes the historic Star Ferry, Hong Kong Tramways and the Peak Tram. They have been around for many years, but their functionality and overall experience are as good as that of the new transport modes. In fact, they enhance the experience of tourists and are also popular with locals going to work, shopping or out on a date. To improve passengers experience, the Peak Tram has recently undergone a major renovation. Its been a while and now its time to say “Hello Hong Kong” again!28.

To recommend Hong Kong as a great tourist attraction.DDespite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500 kg and eat roughly 40 kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population controlled, tiger sharks here help the seagrass grow sustainably. A booming seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australias northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores (食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This raised the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive?To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. “When uncontrolled, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass.” said Nowicki.Those findings emphasized that tiger sharks were playing an important role in preventing the reduction of seagrass in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.When it comes to stimulating shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators (捕食者) continues to decline.Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. “Ultimately, if we are going to protect our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species protection at the same time.”32. Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem?A. They feed on various sea animals.B. They can store large amounts of CO2.C. They can prevent the loss of seagrass.D. They influence marine species distribution.33. What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 5 mean?A Sustainability.B. Recovery.C. Preservation.D. Construction.34. What is the main cause of the population reduction of many top predators?A. Climate change.B. Lack of protection.C. Unsustainable fishing.D. Loss of seagrass.35. Whats the main idea of the text?A. The number of tiger sharks is decreasing.B. Climate change causes the loss of seagrass.C. Environmental protection is at the top of the agenda.D. Tiger sharks are vital to the health of the marine ecosystem.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most. Here are some tips.Be honest with yourselfBehind every fancy purchase is a desire for status and recognition. You secretly want to be noticed for wearing a new watch or carrying a designer purse. _36_So before taking action towards any attempt, such as making an expensive purchase or pursuing a job promotion, ask yourself, “Who am I doing this for?”_37_ However, if you are pursuing something with the hopes of attracting attention, then you need to say no to yourself.Honor your limits_38_Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable (脆弱的). The truth is you have limited energy and time. It is important that you are wise with your resources. The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost.Stop comparing yourself to othersPeople will engage in behaviors that trigger you.
