During that time, shehas weathered heavy storms and massive waves. Her boat has been rolled over on morethan one occasion and has drawn the attention of hungry sharks. Lia herself has experienced a shortage of food. But now, at long last, we can report that she has arrived at the finish line, completing the journey in record time.Lia arrived in Hawaii over the weekend, although, much like the rest of the journey,her final hours were not easy ones. With 37 miles to go to her destination, Lia reachedthe Molokai Channel, just as the wind and waves were starting to pick up. She knewthat this would be a difficult and vitally important part of the journey, so in orderto complete the final run into Maui, she rowed for 18 hours straight. In the end, that hard work and determination kept her from drifting off course and away from the islands to the south, allowing her to reach dry land after nearly three months out on the open ocean.When she originally set out on this journey back in June, Lia’s intention was to set a new speed record for rowing from California to Hawaii. The record she had in mind was set by rower Rob Eustace, who made the same crossing in 52 days. The ocean currents, winds and waves weren’t very cooperative, however, quickly putting that record out of reach. In the end, she did manage to set a new record, however, recording the fastest female row between the two American states. When she reached shore on Saturday, she recorded a final time of 86 days, 10 hours, 5 minutes and 54 seconds.At a time when big outdoor adventures are few and far between, Lia’s ocean row has been a good source of inspiration. Congratulations to her for completing this very difficult challenge and setting a new record, too. It may not be the easiest way to get to Hawaii, but it was probably extremely rewarding.24. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Where she began her Pacific crossing.B. How she survived without any support.C. How she broke the trans-Pacific rowing record.D. What challenges she had at the end of her journey.25. What made Lia Ditton fail to break Rob Eustace’s record?A. Her lack of food.B. Problems with sharks.C. Bad weather conditions.D. The overturning of her boat.26. Which of the following can be used to describe Lia Ditton’s adventure?A. Rewarding but meaningless.B. Inspiring but challenging.C. Dangerous but comfortable.D. Impressive but tiresome.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Lia Ditton Completes Trans-Pacific RowB. Lia Ditton Breaks the Men’s RecordC. Lia’s Pacific Row: Slow and DangerousD. Lia Ditton Makes Progress on the PacificCYour guardian angel might have four legs and a rocking tail.A new study from two researchers at Arizona State University found, like the hero dogs of film and TV, your real-life one likely wants to rescue you when you’re in trouble, reports AFP.“It’s a popular legend,” explained researcher Joshua van Bourg. “Simply observing dogs rescuing someone doesn’t tell you much. The difficult challenge is figuring out why they do it.”To test if and why dogs want to save their humans, Joshua van Bourg and his co-researcher, Clive Wynne, took 60 dogs and their owners and set up artificial rescue scene. For the study, the owner was put in a large box that had a lightweight door that the owner’s dog could move to one side to “save” them. Once in the box, the human would pretend to be in trouble, calling out for help without using their dog’s name. The second part of the test involved researchers placing dog food in a box and watching to see how many of the same 60 dogs moved to open the box to get the reward.Looking at the two tests, the researchers found that about one-third of the dogs successfully rescued their owners and that around the same number also opened the box with the food. The study suggests that these responses could signal that dogs find rescuing their loved ones to be a rewarding task, much like nosing out and finding food. According to Joshua van Bourg, a dog’s natural heroism becomes even more impressive when you take “a closer look” at the study’s results.“The key here is that without controlling for each dog’s understanding of how to open the box, the percentage of dogs who rescued their owners is much more lower than the percentage of dogs who wanted to rescue their owners,” Joshua van Bourg said.“The fact that two-thirds of the dogs didn’t even open the box for food is a pretty strong indication that rescuing requires more than just motivation, there’s something else involved, and that’s the ability,” he added.28. What do the researchers focus on in the study?A. The number of dogs smelling dog food.B. The way of dogs opening the light door.C. The reason for dogs rescuing their owners.D. The willingness of dogs to enter the rescue scene.29. What did the researchers find from their study?A. Most dogs were brave enough to rescue humans.B. Owners were saved with their dogs’ name called.C. Dogs consider rescuing owners as a rewarding task.D. Forty dogs helped humans and opened the boxes for food.30. What is Joshua’s attitude towards the phenomenon of dogs’ rescu ing their owners?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Approving.D. Ambiguous.31. What will the text probably continue to tell?A. Teaching dogs how to rescue humans.B. Reminding people of being kind to dogs.C. Advocating people to raise more dogs as pets.D. Testing dogs what to do while rescuing owners.DLiu Jingyang, a 28-year-old bank clerk living in Beijing, loves watching food shows on live-streaming platform after a long day at work. She feels that viewing the vloggers (视频博主）eating is very r elaxing at bedtime. “It’s a very healing process to just think about nothing while watching people eat all that colorful and inviting food and seeing their overreactions as they enjoy it,” Liu told Beijing Review. She said she is also curious about how people can eat more than 10 times what she can.However, some of these big eaters have recently been caught “fake eating,” vomiting (呕吐）after pretending to have eaten, leading to much food waste. They immediately came under fire from the public. The anger was fueled because many critics are aware that approximately one in nine people in the world are starving, based on statistics from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).In addition, food-wasting food shows are misleading because they go against the virtue of thriftiness, Cheng Shengkui, a researcher at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told statebroadcaster China Central Television (CCTV).Before gaining popularity in China in about 2014, food shows were already big hits in countries such as the Republic of Korea and Japan. The mouth-watering treats and large meals are the main reasons for attracting viewers, according to a paper published in 2018 in Today’s Massmedia, a Chinese academic journal.The big eaters’ income mainly comes from advertisements, donations or tips by viewers, or sales of products. But as the market became more profitable, some people who can’t really eat a huge amount of food, but still wanted to grab the money from audiences and advertisers, began to resort to fake eating.With more media reports exposing dishonest acts and food waste, the industry has had to undergo reform. Several live-streaming platforms have announced that they will strengthen inspection of food shows, while some live-streamers voiced opposition to food waste and advocated thriftiness.32. Why does the author mention Liu Jingyang in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic of food waste.B. To show why food-eating programs are popular.C. To begin a discussion on ways to reduce food waste.D. To show vloggers from an ordinary person’s perspective.33. What does the underlined word “thriftiness” mean?A. Eating smartly.B. Living healthily.C. Valuing life.D. Being economical.34. What actually makes vloggers produce such food-wasting shows?A. To get relaxation.B. To make more money.C. To attract more viewers.D. To become famous.35. What may be the future of food shows according to the passage?A. They will be cancelled.B. They will be expanded in time.C. They will be carefully monitored.D. They will experience ups and downs.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
