On January 12, three EF-3 tornadoes came through the city of Griffin, Georgia, where I live. One of the
tornadoes passed directly over my house. The rumbling（隆隆声） was strong as the winds pushed against the
house. Trees were uprooted, and broken pieces flew through the air. Rain and hail fell in sheets.
Students had to shelter in place. The students gathered together for hours, according to Nicole Dowling, a
math teacher at Kennedy Road Middle School. We all waited for safe passage, she said. There were downed
trees blocking each direction on Kennedy Road.
Most students got home safely by 11 p. m., but about two dozen had to remain until the early hours of January
13.
I'll never forget the sound, Dowling said. She heard loud noises as she waited with other teachers in a
classroom. All at once, she added, we were under desks for cover. We were all one, listening attentively, until
we sensed the storm moving away.
Mariyah Dallas, a sixth grader, said that she and her family were frightened. It was very scary because the
power was out for more than a day, she said. We had to move a lot of trees out of the yard.
The tornadoes damaged nearly 2,000 buildings in Griffin. Dowling described the result. Massive trees were
broken in half and thrown about, she said. Electrical wire were hanging like loose noodles. Ruins lay
everywhere.
Power was knocked out in the city, which has a population of more than 23,000. When I looked into the
damage, I saw that a gas station overhang had fallen down, destroying a car under it. The roof of the Hobby Lobby
near the shopping center had fallen down.
A study from 2019 suggests that climate change may be a contributing factor to the shift of Tornado Alley,
causing it to move eastward. As a result, heavily-populated areas east of the Mississippi River are experiencing
more tornadoes than they have in the past.
24. What happened to the students according to the math teacher?
A. They ran away from school. B. They were trapped in a disaster.
C. They found no places to shelter. D. They were injured in the tornado.
25. What impressed Dowling most about the tornado?
A. Its sight. B. Its speed. C. Its power. D. Its noises.
26. What do we know about the car in the gas station?
A. It broke down half way. B. It ran out of gas on the way.
C. It was covered by falling ruins. D. It was destroyed by falling trees.
27. How does climate change affect tornadoes?
A. It changes their areas. B. It changes their moving speed.
C. It increases their force to destroy. D. It increases times to take place.
C
Scientists have discovered fossils that might have belonged to the heaviest animal in Earth's history. The blue
whale holds the current record as the largest creature to live on Earth. But a collection of bones found in Peru might
break that record.
Mario Urbina discovered the bones in 2012. He is with the University of San Marcos' Natural History
Museum in Lima. An international team spent years digging them out from the side of a rocky hill in the Ica desert.
The large fossils date back to around 39 million years ago.
After the digging operation, the researchers used 3D scanners to study the surface of the bones and also looked
inside. The researchers used the huge but incomplete skeleton to estimate the whale's size and weight.
The team estimates the ancient creature weighed somewhere between 85 and 340 metric tons. The biggest blue
whales found have been within that range, at about 180 metric tons. This means the newly discovered whale was
possibly the heaviest animal ever. Bu it was most likely not the longest animal ever.
The research team said one reason the animal weighs more is because its bones are much denser and heavier
than a blue whale's bones. Those super-dense bones suggest the whale may have spent its time in less deep, coastal
waters, the scientists said. Other animals that stay close to the coast have heavy bones to help them stay close to the
seafloor.
Amson, from the State Museum of Natural History in Germany, said that without the skull, it is hard to know
what the whale was eating to support such a huge body. It is possible that the large creature sought food along the
seafloor, the researchers said. Or it could have eaten up tons of smaller sea life in the ocean.
28. What did the researchers want to know by using 3D technology?
A. How big and heavy the whale was. B. What environment the whale faced.
C. What caused the whale to die. D. How long the whale lived.
29. What do heavier bones mean for this ancient whale?
A. The strength it had. B. The area where it lived.
C. The way it hunted for food. D. The speed it swam in the sea.
30. What interested Amson about the ancient whale?
A. The way it moved in the sea. B. The miss of its head bones.
C. The large amount of food it ate. D. The threat it brought to other sea life.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Ancest or of Blue Whales Was Discovered
B. Hug e Ancient Whale Bones Shock Researchers
C. Mysterious Giant Ancient Whales Puzzle Scientists
D. Ancient Whale May Be Heaviest Animal Ever Found
D

research company. It says the new number represents an increase of 4.4 percent over the year before.
The average ticket price to see a movie in the U. S. is around $11. Premium screenings usually cost five to
seven dollars more.
B&B Theatres operates 531 screens in 14 states and offers large format screens as well as heated chairs that
can be raised and lowered, immersive（亲临其境） audio and seats timed to move with a movie's action.

There Are 4 Types of Anger: Which One Is Yours?
You're passive-aggressive（被动攻击型）
36 when a colleague asks for a favor, but then oh, forget to do it—or do it late and not well. You say
it's fine when it's really not or 'whatever' when you really mean no. These are all classic passive-aggressive
behaviors-or patterns of indirectly expressing negative feelings instead of openly addressing them.
You make mountains out of molehills（小题大做）
You find the fault in every situation, and regard each conversation as an argument you have to win. Maybe
you were made to look or feel inferior（卑微的） growing up. To pay off, you become more aggressive. Instead
of feeling like a victim, you learn to be the rejecter. 37 . And you create conflict or deliver the first blow
in an argument so it gives you the chance to be heard, to prove you are smarter, and to show you're right.
Your fuse（保险丝） is short and you burst into anger
When you lose the ability to control a situation, it may set off aggression, violent behavior or explosive
outbursts that are not necessary to the situation. 38 . This type of anger can also put people at risk for harm,
so it's important to seek professional help.
39
When it comes to your religious, political or other beliefs—yours are right, the others are wrong; yours are
good, the others are bad. So when others go against your beliefs, you're on the offensive because your beliefs are
correct, and therefore your anger is reasonable. Even if your intentions are good, anger gets you in trouble when
you allow it get out of control. 40 because you think your morals back the behavior.
A. Your morals fuel your anger
B. Anger itself is not a bad emotion
C. You give an enthusiastic sure, no problem!
D. It's how you use your anger that makes it good or bad
E. And you feel you have the right to do whatever you want
F. You put down or reject others first before it can be done to you
G. Getting stuck in traffic, for example, may lead you to yell at other drivers

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The other day, I was driving home, a little upset because I hated working at the weekend. On the way, I
decided to buy some vegetables in the nearby greengrocer's. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a
glance at the back mirror to make sure no people or vehicles came close, and slowly turned the wheel to the right.
Then out of my expectation, my car knocked into an electric bike, giving out a loud noise of metal clash. I came
back to myself and saw out of the window screen a teenager lean on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.
All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on extremely hot and boring
afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the
neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream.
Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and
tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I was pushed towards the middle of the road
when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn't get
hurt but still couldn't rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle-aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, hurried to check on
me, Are you okay? Your leg? Your foot?
I am all right, but...I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for big sum of money for
compensation（赔偿）. Instead, he just let me go despite his wife's protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I
was spared. I was really grateful to the man for pardoning a silly kid who had made such a big mistake by mistake.
