I was a vlunteer with the city f Milpitas and was studying at Missin Cllege. One night after ging t class, I was heading hme and decided t stp ff at a burrit (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I gt my burrit and started t head fr my car when I was apprached by a hmeless man. He was very dirty and bviusly very hungry. He asked me fr sme change t buy a little fd. As I was pulling sme change ut, I had an idea.
I asked him t fllw me back int the burrit restaurant t rder. He was ashamed f the way he lked and said he did nt want t g in there. But I insisted. When he finally fllwed me in, the peple behind the cunter (柜台) refused t let him in, but I tld them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right t be there. After we argued ver it fr a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit t be sitting at a table. I asked him t rder whatever he wanted. But he nly rdered a burrit.
Fr smene wh has been n the fringes (边缘) f sciety, he was very surprised at my genersity. But t me, it was what any “human being” shuld d r at least ffer. Yu had t be there t see the lk in his face. It reminded me when I was yung, my mm brught ut a big birthday cake fr me n my birthday, with all the candy, chclate and gdies that we were abut t eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attentin, smething that I culd see he hadn’t experienced in a lng time.
I ften think abut this stry because, t me, it’s nt just abut helping smene ut by feeding them. It’s mre abut giving them the respect and dignity f being a human being and allwing them t feel gd abut themselves.

Stnehenge is a very famus stne circle lcated in suthern England. Fr centuries,histrians have been extremely cnfused by it. On Wednesday, researchers brught ut new and unexpected infrmatin abut the six-tn Altar Stne at Stnehenge.
Fr a lng time, peple believed that the Altar Stne, which lies in the middle f the well-knwn circle, came frm Wales. Hwever, new research shws that it actually came frm Sctland, which is hundreds f miles away. This discvery raises new questins abut hw peple transprted the stne abut 5,000 years ag. Accrding t a study published in the jurnal Nature n Wednesday, the Altar Stne prbably came frm the Orcadian Basin in Sctland, at least 466 miles frm Stnehenge.
Chris Kirkland, ne f the experts, said this discvery f where the Altar Stne came frm shwed there was a high level f cperatin frm lcal peple during the Nelithic perid. Mving such a huge stne frm Sctland t suthern England by land wuld have been extremely challenging. S, it’s likely they used a shipping rute alng the British cast.
Stnehenge is mainly made up f tw kinds f stnes: sarsen (砂岩) and bluestne. The large sarsen stnes mstly came frm an area abut 16 miles nrth f the mnument. The Altar Stne is cnsidered a bluestne. Studies in the past have shwn that mst f Stnehenge’s bluestnes came frm Wales. T find ut where the Altar Stne came frm, gelgists examined its chemical characteristics and analyzed the minerals in the rck. They fund that the Altar Stne didn’t match the gelgy f Welsh rcks.
“While we can nw say that this icnic rck is Scttish and nt Welsh, the research will still very much be n t pin dwn where exactly in the nrth-east f Sctland the Altar Stne came frm,” study c-authr and Aberystwyth University prfessr Richard Bevins said.
English Heritage, the rganizatin that lks after Stnehenge, called this an exciting discvery. They said in a scial media pst that the mre we learn abut Stnehenge, the mre questins we get. The purpse f Stnehenge is still a puzzle. Sme peple think it was built fr astrnmical (天文的) reasns, while thers think it was related t human sacrifice (祭祀).
28. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. The lcatin f the Altar Stne.
B. The reasn fr building the Stnehenge.
C. The methd f transprting the Altar Stne.
D. The discvery f the Altar Stne’s true rigin.
29. What played a key part in the mve f the stne?
A. Teamwrk.B. Superpwer.C. Leadership.D. Creativity.
30. What des the underlined part “pin dwn” mst prbably mean?
A. Find ut.B. Lk dwn.C. Take n.D. Set ff.
31. What can we infer abut the purpse f the Stnehenge?
A. Peple think it a mystery frever.
B. Peple will bring it t light sn.
C. Peple hld different views n it.
D. Peple mstly cnsider it as a kind f sacrifice.

Killer whales hunt fish with sunds as clicks and buzzes — they chse and chase their prey (猎物) with sund waves. But a cmmn feature f mdern cean life may be like a salmn’s invisible clak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favrite meal harder t find. What is t blame? Bat traffic nise.
Ocean nise has been increasing ver the years, and an internatinal research team recently reprted in Glbal Change Bilgy that when the water gt t nisy, whales spent mre time lking fr fd but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every mve and sund that individual killer whales made, as well as the sund reaching thse whales. This is the first time scientists have linked nise reaching a given killer whale t their fraging (觅食) success, says lead authr Jennifer Tennessen.
The nise prblem is ne that Tennessen views as chrnic, yet pssibly mre straightfrward t fix than declining fish ppulatins r pllutin — ships culd simply slw dwn t make less nise. Frtunately, with the guidance f bth gvernmental and nngvernmental grups, sme ship peratrs are slwing dwn.
The Vancuver Fraser Prt Authrity in Canada reprted in 2023 that 87 percent f ships slwed r mved ver fr suthern resident whales in critical habitat, which led t a decrease f 4.2 decibels (分贝) cmpared t 2019, befre slwdwns began. Washingtn prts and ther lcal authrities jin in a prgram f vluntary slwdwns in Washingtn waters called Quiet Sund, which ffers infrmatin n killer whale lcatins. Abut 70 percent f ships fllw Quiet Sund’s guidelines and vluntarily slw dwn in killer whale critical habitat.
The talk abut innvatins in prpeller (螺旋桨) technlgy is als psitive. A prpeller, fr example, is based n a design fr a quieter drne prpeller. If claims f a mre efficient and quieter bat prpeller are true, that’s gd news fr bth reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.
Tennessen says increasing ship nise is a prblem in ceans arund the wrld. “We’re finally able t measure the impacts that it’s having n wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerus.”
32. Why des the authr mentin a salmn’s invisible clak?
A. T intrduce the feature f sund waves.
B. T describe the envirnment in whales’ hunting.
C. T emphasize the invisibility f salmns’ clak.
D. T demnstrate the characteristic f whales’ hunting.
33. What d the statistics indicate in paragraph 4?
A. Nise reductin is ineffective.
B. Ship peratrs ignre guidelines.
C. Quiet Sund priritizes nise mnitring.
D. Vluntary slwdwns lead t nise reductin.
34. What is the significance f prpeller technlgy innvatins?
A. T address nise issues.
B. T reduce fuel efficiency.
C. T fllw Quiet Sund’s guidelines.
D. T help measure influences n wildlife.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Ships Slw Dwn fr Whales
B. Bat Nise Cluds Whale Fraging
C. Killer Whales Battle Nise Pllutin
D. Technlgy Innvatins Silence Prpellers
