2．Animal rescuer and cinematographer Douglas Thorn's passion for animals began when he was a little kid. "I started rescuing orphaned baby animals，" Thron says. "And I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer. "
When Thron grew up，he did just that，working for shows like Discovery Channel's Shark Week，filming the great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz，California.But Thron says it was the Paradise Fire in California in 2018 that "pushed" him to do animal rescue activism work，putting his aerial cinematography skills to good use.
At the time，Thron was filming a man who was rescuing cats after the fire using an infrared（紅外線）hand-held camera.The camera uses heat to detect the animals at night.Thron and the man talked about how incredible it would be to put one on a drone（無(wú)人機(jī)）to detect animals more easily. "The animal's body temperature will glow on the screen and you can pick them out among the bricks and stones， " explains Thron.
The first animal Thron ever rescued was n dog in the Bahamas after a category-5 hurricane hit，which wiped out hundreds of houses.Thron tested out putting an infrared scope on a drone and found the dog.
"The drone really shaves off critical time so that the really badly hurt animals are able to be rescued. " Thron says.Once the scope picks up the "heat signature of an animal"，Thron turns a spotlight on the animal and zooms in on it，so he and the rescue crews can go and save the animal.
Thron has basically been "going non-stop since then".His TV show，Doug to the Rescue，shows some of his heart-warming animal rescues，including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana in 2020 and after fires in Northern California and Oregon.Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia in 2020.

3．Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region's ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.
The Sanxingdui ruins，located in the city of Guanghan，about 60 kilometers from Chengdu，belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4，800 years ago and lasted more than 2，000 years，while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.
The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba（木棉） tree，which symbolized the union of heaven，earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. "They are very important similarities，" says Santos，a Mexican archaeologist （考古學(xué)家），stressing that "the representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar".
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists，which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile（易碎的）as silk remains，which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to manage.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Maya world，where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
"Every time our cultural knowledge increases，regardless of whether we speak one language or another，what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and，therefore，the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental，" says Santos.
（1）What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization？
A．Their starting time.
B．Their historical origins.
C．Their cultural symbols.
D．Their ceremony traditions.
（2）What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins？
A．Damp weather.
B．Positioning of ruins.
C．High latitude.
D．Language barriers.
（3）What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph？
A．The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B．The benefits of speaking a different language.
C．The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.
D．The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.
（4）Where is this text most likely from？
A．A historical novel.
B．A newspaper.
C．A research review.
D．A guidebook.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5

9．On a Sunday morning，Tony woke up to a quiet house.Usually Mom was awake making breakfast and cleaning the kitchen，but not today.At the sound of his mom coughing，Tony knocked on her bedroom door and asked with great concern， "Mom，are you OK？" "Honey，" Mom said weakly. "I have a terrible cold.You can have cereal （燕麥） for breakfast and watch cartoons.I'm going to stay in bed."
Tony poured some cereal into a bowl and ate the pieces dry.Mom must feel very bad if she was staying in bed all day.How could Tony help？First，he wiped up the crumbs of cereal he left on the kitchen counter.He also put away the cereal box neatly，so the kitchen looked just as it did when he woke up.But what else could he do？Tony thought.Sunday was the day when Mom did laundry.Tony loved to watch the clothes spinning in the machine.That should be fun!He ran to his room to get the laundry basket，inside which there was his mother's favorite white dress among other clothes and a pair of red socks.
Tony opened the door to the washer and put the clothes inside.He had watched Mom do laundry lots of times，so he knew where to find the washing powder and how to pour it into the machine.Finally，he closed the door and pressed the big button that said "START".Tony looked through the round glass window.Water was pouring in，and the machine was starting to spin，making his clothing roll around.That was easy!
Tony watched cartoons until he heard the washing machine beep.That meant the washing was done.Tony opened the door to take out the damp clotjye.ais.He took out a few at a time and moved them into the dryer.Everything seemed clean，and Tony felt proud.Then he pulled out a pink dress.
