She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. But they had to close their doors for the night. "One cold winter night, I watched as my friends walked off into the darkness to a wet, cold camp, while we went home to a warm bed," Linda said, "I realized I had to do something."
She had an idea to create a village of tiny houses to make sure no one slept outside on her watch! Linda started fundraising. She began by appealing to her fellow estate agents in the area before branching out into local businesses.
Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By February 2019, they'd built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one. All the residents must be good neighbors in order to stay in the village, and they certainly are! Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared.
Linda hasn't stopped working since Eden Village began. A second village opened in the fall of 2020, and there's a third location in the works as well! She hopes to have five villages across Springfield within the next five years, helping more than 200 homeless people get off the streets and into a new life.
To this day, Linda firmly believes that there are a million reasons someone can become homeless, but each of them can be solved with love and community involvement.
(1)、What does The Gathering Tree do for the homeless?A、It raises money for them. B、It builds tiny houses for them. C、It helps them find warm camps. D、It provides them with day shelters.(2)、What did some people fear?A、Their own homes would be lost. B、Their jobs would be taken over. C、Their safety would be seriously threatened. D、Their local property values would be lowered.(3)、What does Linda expect to do?A、Help homeless people find work. B、Reach out to more homeless people. C、Build more infrastructure at Eden Village. D、Get homeless people involved in building Eden Village.(4)、Which of the following can best describe Linda?A、Ambitious and scholarly. B、Brave and imaginative. C、Sympathetic and innovative. D、Generous and independent.13. 阅读理解A new study says that more than half the world's ocean area is "becoming greener," and the trend is connected to human-caused global warming.
It's not clear what is driving the greening. In some places, it could indicate changes in the amount of plankton or other organic material floating in the water. Plankton are a cornerstone of the ocean food chain, and these kinds of shifts could have ripple effects throughout the entire marine ecosystem.
The study, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, examines 20 years of satellite data measuring light reflected at the surface of the water all across the globe, subtle changes that aren't necessarily visible to the naked eye. The research finds that 56 percent of the world's oceans are shifting in color — and on the whole, they're growing greener. The trend is especially strong in the lower latitudes, including the subtropics and tropics.
The researchers then used a computer model to find out whether climate change was playing a part. They conducted one set of simulations representing the oceans under a strong climate change scenario, and then compared them with a second set of simulations imagining a world in which climate change didn't exist. The model suggests that rising global temperatures are to blame.
The exact reasons still require some scientific digging. While climate change seems to be the culprit, the study also indicates that rising ocean temperatures in and of themselves aren't driving the greening.
There are plenty of other ways global warming is affecting the world's oceans, by changing the structure and flow of certain currents, for instance. These kinds of changes can affect the growth of phytoplankton and other factors that might be contributing to the greening.
The findings weren't a surprise to the researchers. They're consistent with the way researchers expect the global oceans to change as the world keeps on warming.
"I've been running simulations that have been telling me for years that these changes in ocean color are going to happen," study co-author Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a senior research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in a statement. "To actually see it happening for real is no unexpected, but frightening."
(1)、What is the main topic of the study mentioned in the text?A、Changes in the color of the world's oceans. B、The role of plankton in the ocean food chain. C、The impact of climate change on ocean ecosystems. D、The effects of global warming on ocean temperatures.(2)、What does the underlined word "culprit" in paragraph 5 mean?A、A person who is responsible for a crime. B、An animal that causes damage or harm. C、A substance that causes negative effects. D、A thing or fact that is responsible for a problem.(3)、What is the researchers' reaction to the findings?A、They are unsurprised. B、They are emotional. C、They are indifferent. D、They are unsure.(4)、What does the study suggest about the future of the oceans?A、They will become smaller. B、They will become more polluted. C、They will continue to change colors. D、They will become less diverse.14. 阅读理解We have long been attracted by quick solutions that could increase our intelligence. Today, people's hopes lie in brain training apps, some of which claim to result in smarter minds". But is this quick solutions all that it is said to be?
There are plenty of brain training apps, but they all share the same characteristics: they turn mental exercises like simple arithmetic, memory tests and logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games. The more you play these mini-games, the smarter you will get — or so some apps tell us. It is really a big promise.
Many of the apps say they are backed by "science", a claim I found surprising as a former neuroscientist. The concept that increasing intelligence would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games every day goes against what we have discovered about how humans think and learn.
After surveying a diverse spread of thousands of users across wide variety of apps, researchers at Western University in Canada discovered that "brain training has no appreciable effect on cognitive functioning in the ‘real world', even after extensive training periods". The positive effects that have been found are limited to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users are trained on, such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers, or perform mental arithmetic, with little benefit to other skills.
If you are expecting them to improve your ability to write novel or construct a complex spreadsheet, I am afraid you will want to look elsewhere.
Puzzle video games such as "Baba Is You" and "Returno the Obra Dinn" see players apply their skill at logic, memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game.
(1)、What does the author say about brain training apps?A、They have scientific support. B、They work in the form of games. C、They require problem-solving skills. D、They are based on complex arithmetic.(2)、What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A、Supporting evidence for some brain training apps. B、A detailed description of some brain training apps. C、A further explanation of the use of some brain training apps. D、Questioning the exaggerated effects of some brain training apps.(3)、Which best describes the effects that brain training apps have on memory?A、Limited. B、Tremendous. C、Damaging. D、Far-reaching.(4)、Where is the text probably taken from?A、A storybook. B、A diary. C、A magazine. D、A biography.四、第二部分,阅读理解,第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Consumer behavior is the study of how people make purchase decisions to satisfy their needs or desires and how their emotional, mental and behavioral responses influence the buying decision. By understanding it, businesses can make their marketing efforts to focus on specific groups, improve brand images, and predict the trends. Anyway, understanding consumer behavior is vital to any successful marketing strategy.
Among them, marketing campaigns influence purchasing decisions a lot. If done right and regularly, with the right marketing message, they can even persuade consumers to change brands or choose more expensive alternatives.
For expensive products, like houses or cars, economic conditions play a big part. The consumer's decision — making process is longer for expensive purchases and it can be influenced by more personal factors at the same time.

Of course, advertisements can influence behavior. However, finally, consumers choices are greatly influenced by their preferences.
Last but not least, our purchasing power plays a significant role in influencing our behavior. Unless you're a billionaire, you'll consider your budget before making a purchase decision.
