In 2018 we created the Student Podcast Challenge, an opportunity for students all around the US to record their stories and share them with us. This year’s contest will open on the 6th of next month and close on May 2nd. Once again it will be open to students in grades 4 through 12. Is it your first time entering our contest Don’t fret! We’re here to help.
The basics
Students can make a podcast about any topic they’re interested in, as long as they keep it between three to eight minutes. The entries should be purely original work by students. Please keep it clean! No offensive language will be allowed. And students do need to work with an adult to fill out the submission form to enter the contest.
Where to get started
Choosing a good story is just as important as your audio production or editing skills. For example, a favorite entry from last year was a personal story, reporting on a young person’s experience learning to read with dyslexia (閱讀障礙) and discussions on everyday topics like school lunch and teen fashion. Again, you can choose any topic you wish to explore.
The selection
Our judges will select a middle school and high school grand prize winner. The grand prize includes a certificate, a trophy, and an interview from NPR. For fourth graders — a new category we created last year — we’ll select the best entries and air some or all of those podcasts on NPR programs. In previous years, our winners also received additional recognition from their schools, and many were interviewed by local media.
Resources
Before you hit the record button, check out our podcasting resources. We cover everything from how to tell a good story, how to sound like yourself on a microphone to how to use music in your podcast.
For more tips and the latest updates on this year’s contest, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at student podcast [email protected]. Students, we can’t wait to hear your stories. Good luck!

Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her extraordinary novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday - the first writer from her country to receive the award.
Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which organizes the prize, said at a news conference in Stockholm that Han was receiving the honor “for her intense poetic writing that bravely discusses historical events and exposes the fragility of human life.”
Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her childhood experience “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.”
When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起義), when government army fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds.
The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. She also recalled seeing images of people who lined up to donate their blood to those who were injured in the uprising.
“It was like two unsolvable riddles imprinted on my mind: How can humans be so violent, and how can humans be so noble ” she said. “When I write novels, I find myself always returning to the theme of what it means to be human.”
Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her first novel, “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.”
4. What are Han’s novels themed at
A. Political systems. B. Financial struggle. C. Human nature D. Cultural conflicts.
5 What can we learn about Han’s childhood from paragraph 3
A. Father’s success: inspired her. B. Economic difficulty strengthened her.
C. Frequent move destroyed her. D. The habit of reading comforted her.
6. Why does the author mention the Gwangju uprising
A. To indicate the importance of history. B. To show its influence on Han’s writing.
C. To reveal the cruelty of politics. D. To stress its impact on Korean people’s life.
7. What is “The Vegetarian” mainly about
A. A deer. B. A woman. C. A plant. D. A vegetable.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要報道了韓國作家韓江因探討歷史事件和人性脆弱而榮獲諾貝爾文學獎。

推理判斷題。根據文章第二段中“Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which organizes the prize, said at a news conference in Stockholm that Han was receiving the honor “for her intense poetic writing that bravely discusses historical events and exposes the fragility of human life.” (組織該獎項的瑞典文學院常任秘書馬茨·馬爾姆在斯德哥爾摩的新聞發布會上說，韓江獲獎“是因為她激烈的詩歌寫作，勇敢地討論歷史事件，暴露了人類生活的脆弱”。)”和倒數第二段中“When I write novels, I find myself always returning to the theme of what it means to be human. (當我寫小說時，我發現自己總是回到作為人類意味著什么的主題上。)”可知，韓江的小說主題聚焦于人性。故選C。
【5題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章第三段中“In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her childhood experience “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.” (在2016年接受《紐約時報》采訪時，韓女士表示，她的童年經歷“對一個小孩子來說太多了，但我還好，因為我被書包圍了。”)”可知，書籍成為了她童年時期的慰藉。故選D。
【6題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章倒數第三段“The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. She also recalled seeing images of people who lined up to donate their blood to those who were injured in the uprising. (她在2016年的采訪中說，這件事塑造了她對人類暴力能力的看法。她還回憶起看到人們排隊為在起義中受傷的人獻血的畫面。)”可知，提到光州起義是為了展示這一事件對韓江寫作的影響。故選B。
【7題詳解】
細節理解題。根據文章最后一段中“In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.” (在2016年的采訪中，韓江說，大約在那個時候，她萌生了寫一個關于一個女人變成一株植物的短篇故事的想法，她最終把這個故事寫成了《素食者》。)”可知，《素食者》主要是關于一個變成植物的女人的故事。故選B。
C
Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鵲), but these birds had other ideas.
Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird“family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.
The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device.
Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker,weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背帶) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (傳輸) data wirelessly.
The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.
Scientists refer to this as“rescue behavior,” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual.They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies.However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try, again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2
A. They outsmart crows. B. They are social species.
C. They are rarely spotted. D. They learn from each other.
9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device
A. It can work without wires. B. It can be applied to all birds.
C. It doesn’t come off the birds. D. It doesn’t need to be re-charged.
10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them
A. They couldn’t fly as normal.
B. They were warned by other magpies.
C. They helped each other to remove the trackers.
D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
B. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult
C The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature
D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了澳大利亞科學家為監測喜鵲，給五只喜鵲安裝了新研發的不到1克的追蹤器，卻被其他喜鵲在三天內拆掉，這或為喜鵲救援行為，實驗雖未達目的卻有新發現。
【8題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段“They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.(它們通常以12只為一群生活在一起，并共同協作來保衛它們所棲息的區域)”可知，澳大利亞喜鵲是群居動物。故選B。
【9題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第四段“Attached to a backpack-like harness (背帶) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (傳輸) data wirelessly.(它被安裝在一個類似背包的背帶上（無法輕易取下），可以無線充電并無線傳輸數據)”可知，這種新型追蹤設備的最大優點是無需電線即可工作。故選A。
【10題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第五段“Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.(在安裝最后一個追蹤器后的 10 分鐘內，一只沒有追蹤器的成年雌鳥試圖從一只較年輕的鳥身上取下背帶，最終成功了。這種模式在接下來的幾個小時內不斷重復，到第三天，所有的鳥都沒有追蹤器了)”可知，當追蹤器被安裝在喜鵲身上之后，它們相互幫助，把追蹤器取了下來。故選C。
【11題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據第一段“Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鵲), but these birds had other ideas.(澳大利亞的科學家們原本以為他們已經研發出了一種新的追蹤設備，能夠幫助他們監測喜鵲的行為，但這些鳥兒卻另有打算)”結合文章主要說明了澳大利亞科學家為監測喜鵲，給五只喜鵲安裝了新研發的不到1克的追蹤器，卻被其他喜鵲在三天內拆掉，這或為喜鵲救援行為，實驗雖未達目的卻有新發現。可知，A選項“喜鵲讓科學家們有了一個意想不到的發現”最符合文章標題。故選A。
D
Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失調). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (親和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.
Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.
12. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience
A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships.
C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.
13. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors
A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact.
B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return.
C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts.
D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust.
14. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible.
15. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect
A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures.
C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【導語】本文是說明文。文章介紹了本·富蘭克林效應。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第一段的“Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.(令人驚訝的是，答案是B型這種人性的怪癖被稱為本·富蘭克林效應。)”和第二段的“Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”(本杰明·富蘭克林(Benjamin Franklin)在1736年擔任賓夕法尼亞州議會書記員時遇到了這種現象。一個有權有勢的成員不喜歡富蘭克林，并威脅要讓他的生活很痛苦。該怎么辦？富蘭克林沒有用甜言蜜語來說服他，而是問他是否可以借他擁有的一本珍貴的書。這個請求改變了男人的態度，為他們的友誼鋪平了道路。富蘭克林的結論是：“曾經善待過你的人，會比你所善待的人更愿意為你做另一件事。”)”可推斷，作者提到本杰明·富蘭克林的經歷為了介紹“本杰明·富蘭克林效應”的起源。故選D。
【13題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第三段的“Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失調). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable.(一些心理學家稱之為認知失調。同時持有兩種相互矛盾的思想是很難的。這讓我們感到不舒服。)” 可知，人們傾向于喜歡尋求幫助的人是因為認知失調，即避免持有矛盾的想法帶來的不適。故選C。
【14題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞前文“One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (親和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others.(2015年的一項研究發現，更確切地說，這是請求所傳達的親和動機。也就是說，我們人類希望與他人保持良好的關系，而實現這一目標的一種方式就是幫助他人。)”以及下文“We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.(我們喜歡成為有用的人，推而廣之，我們喜歡那些給我們這樣做機會的人。這是我們的基因。)”可推斷，劃線詞所在句說明人類希望通過幫助他人來保持良好的關系，這解釋了無私的行為，因此推斷畫線詞與selfless“無私的”意思相近。故選A。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段“Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.(然而，我們對本·富蘭克林效應還有很多不了解的地方。它在不同文化中都適用嗎？有沒有一個點，超過了這個點，請求別人幫忙會讓你更不討人喜歡，而不是更討人喜歡？借書是一回事；向別人借車是另一回事。)”可知，作者認為本·富蘭克林效應有情境限制。故選C。

【解析】
【導語】這是一篇說明文。本文根據“hot”一詞的三個含義，介紹了重慶這座城市的三個“熱”特征：炎熱的天氣、辛辣的美食和迷人的女性。
【36題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意：巧合是，重慶，這座融合了現代摩天大樓和古老傳統的城市，正是擁有這三個特點的城市。定語從句修飾先行詞the very city，關系詞在從句作主語，由the very修飾只能用that。故填that。
【37題詳解】
考查副詞。句意：在夏天，重慶可能會非常炎熱和潮濕。修飾形容詞hot，應用副詞extremely。故填extremely。
【38題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：溫度經常超過37攝氏度（95華氏度），讓人感覺像在蒸桑拿。此處需要一個現在分詞形式的動詞來表示結果，構成結果狀語，因此使用“making”。故填making。
【39題詳解】
考查名詞的數。句意：最受歡迎的菜肴之一是火鍋。此處為“one of +可數名詞復數”。故填dishes。
【40題詳解】
考查介詞。句意：它由一鍋辛辣的肉湯組成，人們在里面煮新鮮的食材，比如肉和蔬菜。短語consist of表示“由……組成”，故填of。
【41題詳解】
考查連詞。句意：它由一鍋辛辣的肉湯組成，人們在里面煮新鮮的食材，比如肉和蔬菜。此處meat和vegetables為并列關系，因此使用and。故填and。
【42題詳解】
考查時態。句意：和朋友一起吃火鍋是一種有趣的體驗，食物的溫暖與這座城市的精神相匹配。根據上文is可知為一般現在時，主語為the warmth of the food，謂語用三單形式。故填matches。
【43題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意：最后但并非最不重要的一點是，重慶的特色在于美麗的女性，她們往往自信而迷人。修飾名詞presence，應用形容詞charming。故填charming。
【44題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意：你可以看到許多時尚的年輕女性享受著街道和公園，使這個城市更加充滿活力。修飾名詞young women應用形容詞fashionable。故填fashionable。
【45題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意：重慶炎熱的天氣、辛辣的食物和熱情的人創造了一個獨特而令人興奮的環境。此處需要一個不定冠詞來表示“一個獨特的和令人振奮的環境”，又因unique的發音以輔音音素開頭。故填a。

【答案】Dear Peter,
Thank you for seeking our opinions about 60-second Pre-class Speech activity. I’d like to share some suggestions.
Firstly, regarding its content, we’d better include more technology topics, which many classmates find meaningful. Also, allowing telling personal stories might make speeches more engaging. Secondly, for presentation format, maybe students could use simple PowerPoint slides with key words. Visual aids like photos or charts would help listeners understand better. Lastly, could speakers receive brief peer feedback afterwards This could help improve together.
Again, thank you for considering these ideas. I believe our speeches will become more interesting.
Best wishes!
Yours,

第二節 (滿分25分)
47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小冊子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94詞)
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone.

In 2018 we created the Student Podcast Challenge, an opportunity for students all around the US to record their stories and share them with us. This year’s contest will open on the 6th of next month and close on May 2nd. Once again it will be open to students in grades 4 through 12. Is it your first time entering our contest Don’t fret! We’re here to help.
The basics
Students can make a podcast about any topic they’re interested in, as long as they keep it between three to eight minutes. The entries should be purely original work by students. Please keep it clean! No offensive language will be allowed. And students do need to work with an adult to fill out the submission form to enter the contest.
Where to get started
Choosing a good story is just as important as your audio production or editing skills. For example, a favorite entry from last year was a personal story, reporting on a young person’s experience learning to read with dyslexia (閱讀障礙) and discussions on everyday topics like school lunch and teen fashion. Again, you can choose any topic you wish to explore.
The selection
Our judges will select a middle school and high school grand prize winner. The grand prize includes a certificate, a trophy, and an interview from NPR. For fourth graders — a new category we created last year — we’ll select the best entries and air some or all of those podcasts on NPR programs. In previous years, our winners also received additional recognition from their schools, and many were interviewed by local media.
Resources
Before you hit the record button, check out our podcasting resources. We cover everything from how to tell a good story, how to sound like yourself on a microphone to how to use music in your podcast.
For more tips and the latest updates on this year’s contest, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at student podcast [email protected]. Students, we can’t wait to hear your stories. Good luck!

Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her extraordinary novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday - the first writer from her country to receive the award.
Mats Malm, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which organizes the prize, said at a news conference in Stockholm that Han was receiving the honor “for her intense poetic writing that bravely discusses historical events and exposes the fragility of human life.”
Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her childhood experience “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.”
When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起義), when government army fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds.
The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. She also recalled seeing images of people who lined up to donate their blood to those who were injured in the uprising.
“It was like two unsolvable riddles imprinted on my mind: How can humans be so violent, and how can humans be so noble ” she said. “When I write novels, I find myself always returning to the theme of what it means to be human.”
Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her first novel, “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.”
4. What are Han’s novels themed at
A. Political systems. B. Financial struggle. C. Human nature D. Cultural conflicts.
5. What can we learn about Han’s childhood from paragraph 3
A. Father’s success: inspired her. B. Economic difficulty strengthened her.
C. Frequent move destroyed her. D. The habit of reading comforted her.
6. Why does the author mention the Gwangju uprising
A. To indicate the importance of history. B. To show its influence on Han’s writing.
C. To reveal the cruelty of politics. D. To stress its impact on Korean people’s life.
7. What is “The Vegetarian” mainly about
A. A deer. B. A woman. C. A plant. D. A vegetable.
C
Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor magpies (喜鵲), but these birds had other ideas.
Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird“family” as crows and bluejays. They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.
The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed tracking device.
Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker,weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背帶) which could not be removed easily, the device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (傳輸) data wirelessly.
The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.
Scientists refer to this as“rescue behavior” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual.They think this is the first time rescue behavior has been reported for Australian magpies.However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses or if others offered help.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how science works sometimes. The scientists need to try, again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
8. What can we learn about Australian magpies from paragraph 2
A. They outsmart crows. B. They are social species.
C. They are rarely spotted. D. They learn from each other.
9. What is a big advantage of the new tracking device
A. It can work without wires. B. It can be applied to all birds.
C. It doesn’t come off the birds. D. It doesn’t need to be re-charged.
10. What happened to the magpies after the trackers were attached to them
A. They couldn’t fly as normal.
B. They were warned by other magpies.
C. They helped each other to remove the trackers.
D. They were driven out of their home by other adult magpies.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
B. Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult
C. The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature
D. Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies

Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect.
Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.”
Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失調). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.”
While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (親和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes.
Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another.
12. Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience
A. To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships.
C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect.
13. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors
A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact.
B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return.
C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts.
D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust.
14. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4
A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible.
15. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect
A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures.
C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小冊子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”
