Aside from Seahawks coaches shouting during training camp, you may find head coach Pete Carroll throwing passes to receivers or casually running 100-yard sprints（短跑）down the field before the practice begins.
At 71 years old, Carroll says he has no magic al secret to staying active and healthy while being the NFL’s oldest head coach. All of the constant physical activity is just who he is and who he’s always been. “I’m trying to have fun, to tell you the truth,” Carroll says. “I have to work and stay in shape to do the things I want to do.”
Carroll is the oldest active head coach, and will turn 72 on September 15. Carroll doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to stay engaged with the game he grew up with—even if it’s as simple as completing passes to his wide receivers.
Associate head coach Carl Smith has had fond memories of Carroll since 1982 when the pair coached football together at North Carolina State. So, at Seahawks practices, when Smith sees Carroll run sprints and be increasingly active, it isn’t anything new. “He hasn’t really changed since I met him in 1982,” Smith says. “He’s always had that active mindset... He’s uncommonly consistent and curious about things.”
Carroll’s plentiful energy can be translated into training camp. “Pete’s pretty much about competing,” says Will Dissly. “And he’s really done a good job of making sure that’s the point in this game... It’s a big reason why we’re successful.” Dissly is one of many Seahawks players who sees Carroll’s work as a stimulus. Dissly says if his head coach can participate in all of these activities at his age, nothing will stop him from showing up every day and competing.
24. Which benefits Carroll most in keeping fit according to the text?
A. Enough sleep. B. Regular exercise.
C. A balance d diet. D. A caring friend.
25. What can we infer about Carroll from Smith’s words?
A. He is a determined person. B. He helps his partner a lot.
C. He respects others’ privacy. D. He is tired of running sprints.
26. What do the underlined words “a stimulus” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A difficult process. B. A temporary success.
C. An unexpected change. D. An inspiring reminder.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A healthy lifestyle. B. Lasting friendships.
C. A football coach. D. Tips on intense training.

Forecasters say Floridians should monitor a system likely to become a tropical depression（熱帶低壓）as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.
The area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean Sea was producing showers and thunderstorms, according to a Friday evening update from the National Hurricane Center. Condition s favor slow development over the next several days, and forecasters expect the system will become a tropical depression early next week while moving north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Michael Brennan, the National Hurricane Center director, said in a live video Friday, “There is a lot of uncertainty with this system since it’s yet to take shape. What we’re most confident in is that there will likely be some rainfall impacts across much of the Florida Peninsula and possibly up along the southeast coast of the United States.”
The potential threat for Florida would come around on Tuesday, said Brian McNoldy, a researcher at the University of Miami. McNoldy added that global models were in agreement that the system would develop slowly. The hurricane center on Friday gave the system the temporary name of Invest 93L, meaning forecasters would collect specialized data and run more models.
According to Mark Luther, a professor at the University of South Florida, tropical systems like to feed off that hot water, especially when it’s hot below the surface like it is now. “Keep a sharp eye on it and have your hurricane plan in place,” Luther said. “Even if it’s a small storm, if it hits at the right angle, it can cause flooding around here.”
Storms that cross through this steam y section of the eastern Gulf of Mexico have historically intensified（增強）quickly. Hurricane Michael in 2018 emerged off the Yucatán Peninsula before ultimately making landfall as a Category 5 storm in Florida’s Panhandle.
28. What did Brennan think would most likely happen next week?
A. Water shortage. B. Severe damage.
C. Fine weather. D. Heavy rainfall.
29. What did Luther probably expect people to do?
A. Ask for clear guidance. B. Be watchful about possible disasters.
C. Make a quick decision. D. Send relief to flood victims at once.
30. Why does the author mention Hurricane Michael?
A. To express his heartfelt thanks for the rescue effort.
B. To erase scientists’ doubts about these global models.
C. To prove the weather forecast is timely and accurate.
D. To explain the tropical system may bring heavy storm.
31. What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A diary entry.
C. A children’s story. D. A research paper.

This past July was the hottest recorded month in human history. Heat waves brake temperature records worldwide. It’s more than just a matter of sweaty discomfort. As climate change worsens, access to artificially cooled spaces is rapidly becoming a health necessity.
Yet standard air-conditioning systems leave us trapped in a negative feedback cycle: the hotter it is, the more people use the air condition er and the more energy is consumed as a result. Cooling is the fastest-growing single source of energy use in buildings, according to the International Energy Agency. Breaking the cycle requires new innovations that will help bring cooler air to more people with less environmental impact.
Standard air-conditioning systems cool and dehumidify（除濕）through a relatively inefficient mechanism: in order to condense（冷凝）water out of the air, they overcool that air past the point of comfort. Many new designs therefore separate the dehumidification and cooling processes, which avoids the need to overcool. For example, some new air conditioner designs pull water from the air with desiccant（干燥劑）materials. The dried air can then be cooled to a more reasonable temperature. Massachusetts-based start-up Transaera claims that the system it is developing could use 35 percent less energy than the average standard air-conditioning unit.
However, the gains in efficiency might not help us get rid of the impact of air-conditioning. “It won’t work to simply replace every existing air conditioner with a better model and call it a day,” says Nicole Miranda, an engineer at the University of Oxford. “Instead, a truly coder future will have to employ other strategies. It’s critical to bring greenery and water bodies into cities to take advantage of natural airflow.”
“Cooling is a challenge involving many aspects,” says Sneha Sachar, an expert at the nonprofit organization ClimateWorks. “There isn’t one strategy or one answer. We need a combination of better buildings and cities, better technologies and a better understanding that the true cost of air-conditioning extends beyond electric bills.”
32. Why does the author talk about record heat in the first paragraph?
A. To make comparisons. B. To support his theory.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To show cooled places.
33. What does Transaera say about its system?
A. It’s available in the market. B. It’s time-honoured.
C. It’s the most efficient model. D. It’s energy-saving.
34. What is Nicole Miranda’s attitude to just upgrading air conditioners?
A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
35. What message does Sneha Sachar want to convey about cooling?
A. Companies will offer various options.
B. A comprehensive approach is required.
C. We can address the issue once and for all.
D. Our first priority is to lower electric bills.

How to Save Money Watering Your Garden
Jessica Damiano writes about gardening. In her latest story, she talks about cost-saving ways to keep your garden watered during the hot months of summer. Let’s look at some of Damiano’s recommendations.
Know when and how to water
36 . This lets the water go deeply into the soil before the weather gets too hot. If you water later in the day, the water will just evaporate（蒸發(fā)）from the surface. If you water in the evening, the plants stay too wet overnight.
How you water is just as important as when you water. If you water quickly every day, it does not help the roots, which can extend over 30 centimeters into the soil. 37 .
Catch and reuse water
You can recycle water from boiling vegetables or eggs. Just make sure the water does not have salt in it. 38 . Redirect a pipe that collects rainwater to fill a large container, then use the container to refill watering cans or connect a hose（軟管）to a hole at the bottom of the container.
39
Most gardeners just think about which plants look good and the plants’ sunlight needs. But watering needs should be considered, too. Drought-resistant plants should not be overwatered. It is best to use plants that are native to the area where you live. These plants tend to be resistant to drought. They just need regular watering in their first two years. 40 .
A. Choose native plants
B. Instead, water the soil less often, but deeply
C. The best time to water plants is in the morning
D. It is also good practice to catch and use rainwater
E. This helps make the cities greener and improve air quality
F. Give some thought to how many plants there are in your garden
G. After that, they can live on just rainwater except during heat waves

In order to create more harmonious living conditions and enhance students’ college experiences, Chinese universities are changing how roommates and dormitories are assigned.

“We’ve found that our own arrangements are increasingly incapable 61 meeting the demands for independence from the post-‘90s and post-’00s students,” said a college teacher in Nanjing. “This year, students have the option of 62 （select）their own bed in a dorm online.”
“The 63 （increase）flexibility improves our chances of finding suitable roommates and starting college life on a happy note,” said a college freshman. She added that this policy encourages students 64 （voice）their preferences and expectations.
The policy shift has rapidly caught online attention. Some praised it as a sensible step that could prevent conflicts, while others questioned its 65 （important）, noting that students might still lack a deep understanding of each other when making decisions.

The Doctor’s Son
My parents moved to the small town Enosburg when I was still a baby. A soft-spoken man, my father settled quietly into his medical practice. Within a few months the people of Enosburg accepted him as one of their own. The neighbors greeted my father as “Doctor Eppley”. And I always was known as “Doctor Eppley’s son”.
Throughout the first years of my life, I never tired of letting others know that my father was one of the town’s most respected citizens. Somewhere in my teenage years, however, something changed. I was 16 years old and the neighbors still called me “Doctor Eppley’s son”. They said that I was growing up to be an honorable young man just like my father. I complained whenever I heard these words. So when strangers asked me if I was Doctor Eppley’s son, I replied, “My name is Harold.”
I survived my last year of high school. The next fall I went to college. I chose to attend a school far from Enosburg, a place where nobody called me “Doctor Eppley’s son” because nobody knew my father.
I returned home for winter break that year feeling proud of myself. In four months at college, I had become popular in my own right, without my father’s help.
For two weeks I enjoyed being back in Enosburg. The main topic of interest at home was my father’s new car.
“Let me take it out for a drive,” I said.
My father agreed, but not without his usual warning, “Be careful!”
“All right then,” he replied. “The keys are in the kitchen.”
I got into the car and drove a few miles and then stopped at a busy intersection in a nearby town. As I stepped on the accelerator（油門）, my mind went blank, and I failed to hear the loud high noise of brakes（剎車）in front of me. I only heard a great crash as I reacted too late.

M: Great.
（Text 5）

W: I’m not good with numbers, though, which is a big part of the job. But that is one of your strengths.
（Text 6）
M: OK, take the liquid and carefully pour it into the test tube.
W: Isn’t this a bit risky, sir? My dad is also a teacher and he says science can be dangerous.
M: Not if we take care and do it correctly. Now, once you have poured all of the liquid in, wait for it to react.
W: That’s strange—there’s a lot of smoke coming out of the tube!
M: Don’t worry—that’s supposed to happen. Just keep watching with your teammates. What else do you notice?
W: The color is changing! I love science!
（Text 7）
M: Is that a new bike, Lucy? It looks nice with a bright color.
W: Well, my sister bought it from a friend, but she hardly ever used it. I borrowed it so often that last month she just said I could keep it.
M: That was very generous of her. My brother would never lend me anything, let alone give a bike to me.
W: My sister doesn’t value too much of such thing.
M: That’s a good way to be. The less you own, the less you have to tie you down and worry about.
W: That’s right. How long have you kept your bike?
M: A couple of years now. It’s always been a good one.
（Text 8）
M: This French cave is one of the best in the world in terms of ancient history.

M: Try again.
W: 1,000 years?
M: Most experts believe the cave paintings you see on the wall are around 17,000 years old.
W: What?! Are you serious? That’s incredible. I’m so glad we came to visit this cave. Staying at the hotel all day was becoming a bit boring, to be honest. I love getting close to history in this way.
M: Me too. As soon as I heard we were staying in this area, I immediately thought of these caves.
W: I didn’t realize you had heard of it. What else do you know?
M: Well, the cave was first discovered in 1940, opened to the public in 1948, then closed again in 1963. Because I’m a university professor, the staff here allow us to get in.
W: Wow! Thank you for taking me.
（Text 9）
W: You’ve traveled a lot, haven’t you, Stuart? I’m about to go traveling myself for the first time. What advice would you give me?
M: Well, there are lots of things I can tell you. Is there anything specific you want to know?
W: I do worry about getting lost. If I land in another city, in another part of the world, how can I find my way around?
M: When I arrive somewhere for the first time, I always try to get a map of the area from the airport or the hotel I’m staying at.
W: Have you ever found yourself somewhere strange, with no map or directions?
M: Oh, many a time. The thing to do then is ask for directions. But don’t just ask one person, because some people don’t like to admit they don’t know. Ask several people.
W: Who are the best people to ask?
M: It depends. Obviously, tourists might not be familiar with the area, and children might not know some places. Delivery people are good, because they drive around different places all the time.
（Text 10）
M: Today I want to talk about the importance of being prepared. There is a famous saying that goes: “If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.” It’s famous because it is so true. Let me share with you a story that happened to me recently that proves this.
Over the summer, I had to get the main bedroom of my house rebuilt. Last week, I organized for a building examination for 11 o’clock on Monday. Well, at 10:55, I was still in the shower. I had forgotten all about it! When the examiner knocked on the door, I rushed out of the shower. However, I hadn’t taken the time to upgrade all the paperwork. I was totally unprepared—not to mention completely embarrassed! By 11:05, the examiner had left. He couldn’t wait around for me to get ready as he was scheduled for another job somewhere else. I made him angry by wasting his time. Unfortunately, I had to book another appointment—and I had to pay twice!
The point I am trying to make is, please, whatever you do in life, always be prepared!

第二節(jié)
One possible version:
The woman in the car I had struck jumped out of her vehicle unhurt. “Why didn’t you look where you were going?!” she screamed. I stepped out of my car and surveyed the damage. Both cars had been seriously hit. I stood there like a guilty child as the woman continued with her shouting, “It’s your fault!” My knees began to shake. The woman’s words came so quickly that I didn’t know what to do. “Can you pay for this? Who are you?” she kept asking. I panicked and without thinking shouted, “I’m Doctor Eppley’s son.”
On hearing what I had just said, the woman gave me a smile of recognition. “I’m sorry,” she replied, “I didn’t realize who you were.”An hour later, I drove my father’s new car back home. With my head down, I explained to my father what had happened. “Are you hurt?” he asked. “No,” I replied. “Good,” he answered. “Harold, hold your head up. There’s no need for you to feel guilty.” I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. And I spoke his real name for the first time in years, “Thank you, Dad.”
