After my girlfriend, Liz, and I had dated for about a year, and a few years before we got married, she joined me, my parents and my sister's family on a ski trip in Stowe, Vermont. I was in my late 30s, it was the first family vacation I'd been on in years, and it was the first such holiday Liz had ever taken with my relatives.
But a ski vacation is only as good as the ski conditions, and that January was spring-like. To make matters worse, our rented cabin was close to the ski hills but far from anything else. There was no Internet, and the only entertainment was a few board games and a single television.
For a couple of days, while we waited for the snow to fall, we watched endless hours of CNN (mom's choice) and SpongeBob SquarePants (my six-year-old niece's), played Scrabble and drank. Cabin: fever set in quickly. At one point, my mom fought my niece for the remote control, even sitting on her to grab it from her hands. My brother-in-law was downing a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine nightly. Amazed, but also alarmed, Liz confronted me in our bedroom: "What is wrong with your family?" I remember well her crazed laughter as she said it.
Then it snowed, but only at the top of the mountain---a very tall and fearsome peak. We scrambled, drove to the lift, and took it up. But as we climbed higher into quiet, dense cloud, Liz began to look unusual. When I asked her what was wrong, she said that she had only ever been on a bunny hill, which is for beginners to ski down. When she said that, she took hold of my arm tightly. "A bunny hill!" The lift let us off at the summit of a professional ski run at the top of the mountain.
My family, without a look back, disappeared down the hill. Liz got off the lift and fell at the first attempt. She took off her skis and immediately got back on the lift, taking it back down to the lodge and the relative safety of a large glass of wine.
Did I say it was her first vacation with my family? It was also her last.
24. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was the first time for Liz to attend a family vacation.
B. The ski conditions were very good when they reached Stowe.
C. Maybe it was a bit warm in that January.

25. What's the meaning of the sentence underlined in the third paragraph?
A. Someone got a high fever in the cabin in no time.
B. They felt bored and restless for staying in the cabin.
C. They made the cabin warm enough.
D. The life in the cabin was alive and interesting.
26. Why did Liz look unusual when they climbed higher to go skiing?
A. Because she was too excited to ski.
B. Because everything looked unusual.
C. Because she scrambled and climbed for a long time.
D. Because she was frightened at the thought of skiing there.
27. What can we infer from the article?
A. Without a look, the author’s family didn’t care for Liz.
B. Liz's skiing experience was limited.
C. Liz walked down to the hill without trying skiing.
D. The author and Liz broke up after that family vacation.

Record fires sweeping across the Amazon this month have been grabbing global headlines as scientists and environmental groups are worried that they will make climate change crisis worse and threaten biodiversity (生物多样性)，
As the largest rainforest in the world, the Amazon is often called “the lungs of the world.” It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals and 1 million local people. The vast swaths (大片 土地) of rainforest play an important role in the world’s ecosystem because they absorb heat instead of it being reflected back into the atmosphere. They also store carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, ensuring that less carbon is released, easing the effects of climate change.
“Any rainforest destroyed by fire is a threat to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity,” Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic. “The most serious threat is that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere,” he stressed. “In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected,” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
Data from the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) show that the number of forest fires in Brazil increased by 82 percent from January to August this year compared to the same period the year before. “A total of 71,497 forest fires were registered in the country in the first eight months of 2019, up from 39,194 in the same period in 2018,” INPE said. “We estimate that the forest areas in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased between 20 and 30 percent compared to the last 12 months,” Carlos Nobre, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Brazil owns about 60 percent of the Amazon rainforest, whose degradation could have severe consequences for global climate and rainfall. The extent of the area ruined by fires has yet to be
determined, but the emergency has transcended (超出) Brazil’s borders, reaching Peruvian, Paraguayan
and Bolivian regions.
28. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?
A. The effects of climate change. B. The role of the Amazon rainforest.
C. The results of the Amazon rainforest fires. D. The causes of the decreasing biodiversity.
29. What can we infer from Lovejoy’s and Guterres’s words?
A. The dry weather leads to the rainforest fires.
B. The biodiversity makes the rainforests unique.
C. The rainforest fires result in serious consequences.
D. The global climate crisis brings more rainforest fires.
30. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 4?
A. To prove the importance of rainforest.
B. To show the influence of climate change.
C. To explain the process of the research.
D. To stress the reduction of rainforest areas.
31. Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from?
A. Sports and music. B. Science and technology.
C. Nature and geography. D. Business and culture.
D
Do you often feel like you want to wash your hands again and again？ Or do you ever have the urge to line up the items on your desk？ These all may be symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder（强迫症）， or OCD， which affects about 2 percent of the world's population．
Those who suffer from OCD have difficulty finding successful treatment because doctors don't clearly understand its causes． But now， a new study has given hope for a future cure．
For the study， which was published in the journal Nature in October， researchers observed humans， dogs and mice． They discovered four genes that may be responsible for obsessive-compulsive behaviors in humans．
But why observe dogs and mice to learn about humans？
"Dogs， it turns out， are surprisingly similar to people，" study author and geneticist Elinor Karlsson， of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University， US， told NPR． "They're chasing their own tail or chasing shadows like normal， but they're doing it for hours．"
In the study，researchers made a list of about 600 genes in mice，dogs and humans that they thought might cause OCD， reported NPR． They then compared those genes in two large groups of people - those who don't have OCD and those who do． In the end， they identified just four genes with mutations （突变） in the OCD group． The genes are active in a neurological pathway （神经通路） in the brain， which is believed to help control actions． But the mutations could block the neurological pathway．
For example， for people without OCD， when they finish washing their hands， a signal will come， telling them to stop． But for people with OCD， the neurological pathway is blocked， so the message isn't getting through． As a result， the person will continue to wash their hands．
"OCD and anxiety are kind of like learning disorders，" Marcos Grados， an OCD researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine， told NPR． "Often with OCD， people have a fear of germs （细菌）． You can't touch tables or door knobs （把手） and every time it's the same sensation （感觉）． You didn't learn that the last time you touched a door knob， nothing happened． It's like touching it for the first time ever．"
However， that doesn't mean people who have these genetic mutations will always have obsessive-compulsive behaviors， the researchers said． That's because the disorder also relies on other things， such as one's environment．
According to reports， various existing treatment methods have low success rates in patients． But now that we know where OCD comes from， let's hope we will soon find an effective way to treat it．
32.What did researchers recently find about OCD？___
A． They found a possible cure for it．
B． It is a common problem among animals．
C． It can be caused by genetic mutations．
D． It can be passed on to the next generation．
33.What would a typical OCD sufferer probably do？
A． Enjoy shaking hands with others．
B． Touch door knobs from time to time．
C． Keep washing their hands．
D． Enjoy the company of friends．
34.What is the problem for OCD sufferers according to the study？
A． They have four missing genes that control their behavior．
B． Some part of their neurological pathway is damaged．
C． Their brains are not sensitive to behavioral signals．
D． Their brains can't receive messages to stop repeated actions．
35.Which of the following will the author probably agree with？
A． OCD causes more trouble than anxiety．
B． A genetic mutation is the main cause of OCD．
C． Environment plays a more important role in OCD than genes．
D． It's possible to find effective treatment for OCD．

I come from a broken family that many would consider dysfunctional at the very least: marriages, divorces, etc. After we grew up, my three siblings（兄弟姐妹） and I could go 41 without speaking. My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart, and after she got married at 18, we lived separate lives in separate 42 , and our connection somehow 43 .
Five years later, I went sightseeing with my fiancé (未婚夫) to New York City, a place I had never been. During a day of sightseeing, we were crossing a very 44 street loaded with people. I had 45

New York standards, we must have seemed 52 . And there we were, standing in the middle of a Manhattan street, 53 each other and smiling.I later asked 54 she’d known it was me—she never saw me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’t say my laugh is all that 55 , but I guess to a family member it’s infectious. It hits your 56 and resonates（共振）in your mind.
Since that time, my sister and I have never been 57 . We both moved back to our birthplace, Wisconsin. Our meeting by chance wasn’t 58 a sign. I see it as more of a 59 , a reminder not to
