is blue．But it takes a strong person to smile when he or she has every reason to cry!Kiley，from Maryland，is an author，fashion model，motivational speaker and entrepreneur．Since 3 years old，her life has proven to be a journey of surgeries．She was forced to have two permanent ostomies(造口术)，causing her to have ostomy bags for the rest of her life．Carrying not one，but two ostomy bags is not something you would want anyone to go through especially your own child．As a single father，Jay is Kiley’s biggest advocate．When Kiley was 10 years old，she gave a special Father's Day gift to her father to express her gratitude，which was to dance with him at her talent show at schoo1．In the video，the little girl was smiling from ear to ear．They danced along the song．Overcomer of American Idol’s

function．The results of a study by researchers from Bochum suggest that they have fewer，but thickcr fibers in the main connecting tract between the brain hemispheres(半球)．In addition，their motor brain areas are organized more efficiently．This is the conclusion drawn by a research team headed by ra．It was published in the journal Brain and Behavior，online on 4 December 2024．The researchers were interested in drummers because their movement control far surpasses that of untrained people．“Most people can only perform fine motor tasks with one hand and have problems playing different rhythms with both hands at the same time，”explains Lara．“Drummers can do things that are impossible for untrained people．”The team intended to gain new insights into the organization of complex motor processes in the brain by identifying the changes in the brain caused by this training．The researchers tested 20 professional drummers who have played their instrument for an average of 17 years and currently practice for more than ten hours per week．They examined them using various MRI imaging techniques that provide insights into the structure and function of the brain．They then compared the data with measurcments of 24 unmusical control subjects．Both groups had to play drums to test their abilities and were then examined in the MRI scanner．Drummers presented clear differences in the front part of the corpus callosum(胼胝体)responsible for motor planning．The data indicated that the drummers had fewer but thicker fibers in this imponant connecting tract．This allows musicians to exchange information between the hemispheres more quickly than the controls．Although drummers might be good at motor coordination，they are less active in motor tasks than that of control subjects．This phenomenon indicates that a more efficient brain organization in the areas leads to less activation in professionals．8．Which has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph 2? A．Correspond with．B．Go beyond．C．Differ from．D．Fall behind．9．How did the team identify the changes in drummers’brain?A．By analyzing previous study．B．By organizing complex motor tasks．C．By testing their abilities and scanning the brains．D．By comparing amateur drummers and unmusical people．10．Which statement is true about the drummers?A．They are more active in motor tasks．B．They can play rhythms more quickly．C．They have better imagination and insights．D．They have more efficient brain organization．11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Playing drums changes the brain．B．Playing drums can be trained．C．Playing music makes you active．D．Playing music brings benefits．DVegan leather(纯素皮)，a cruelty-free and environment-friendly substitute for animal leather has long been the ultimate goal of sustainable fashion．Now，an alternative may be making the jump from the lab to cupboards，and its souse may surprise many people：the forest floor．Mycelium(菌体丝)，the fibrous roots of fungi(真菌)，is being made into durable clothes and bags with a lower carbon cost than animal’s skin or plastic，and it’s a material that won’t pile up in landfills．While products made from it aren’t available to buy yet，industry experts say the material has great potential to influence the market for animal and synthetic(合成的)leathers．And it has a unique look and feel．Leather production relies on skin from cattle and sheep，whose raising is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions．Leather processing also uses dangerous chemicals and generates large amounts of waste from treating raw skin．By contrast，fungi’s growth is effectively carbon neutral since they catch and store carbon that would otherwise be emitted or remain in the atmosphere，according to Nature．Pure and untreated fungi-1eather also breaks down easily．A number of companies are relying on consumer’s interest in a true fungi leather．Some 66％US respondents to a survey by the consulting firm Mckinscy&Company said they consider sustainability when making a luxury purchase．California-based Mekino is perhaps closest to producing a commercially available product called Reishi．“It has the same quality and artistic value as animal leather and it will be launched in partnership with top brands in the coming months．”said Sophia Wang，the company’s co-founder．One of the challengs with fungi-leather is making a uniform “mat”with consistentthickness，appearance and color，according to Nature．It’s also necessary to balance durability with biodegradability(降解) ．12．What do we know about Mycelium?A．Its products are available now．B．It is likely to gain some market share．C．It has a high carbon emission．D．It accounts for alarge part of waste．13.How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A．By making a comparison. B．By reasoning and arguning．C．By analyzing the reasearch process． D．By providing background information．14．What can we infer from Paragraph4?A．Most people like animal leather．B．Consumers are indifferent to Reishi．C．Sophia has confidence in Reishi．D．Mckino ranks among top brands．15．In which part of a newspaper can we see the passage? A．Opinion．B．Agriculture．C．Fashion．D．Lifestyle．其次节(共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

However, it wasn't until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea.Lily had grown up with the aroma of tea wafting through her home, a legacy of her mother's Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside.Her mother, a connoisseur of Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfurl to reveal hidden flavors? Which infusions can evoke the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze? With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that transcended language and tradition.The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily's own journey of self-discovery. She decided to embark on a quest to understand the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient beverage for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her "cultural eco-journey."The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the meticulous care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step a testament to the harmony between human skill and natural bounty.She was captivated by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded on her palate, a testament to the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture.Over time, Lily has delved deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health andwell-being."Cultural immersion" is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. "The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious," she says. "You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world."4.What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs?A. She was curious about her dual heritage.B. She preferred the British lifestyle.C. She had a deep interest in tea.D. She longed to visit China.5.Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops?A. To learn about the tea-making process.B. To find the perfect cup of tea.C. To understand the cultural significance of tea.D. To test her knowledge of Chinese tea.6.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Longjing?A. To review Lily's cultural journey.B. To show an application of Lily's interest in tea.C. To compare different tea regions in China.D. To dispel doubts about the quality of Chinese tea.7.What is the basis for Lily's cultural exploration?A. The desire to connect with her Chinese roots.B. The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea.C. The fascination with the art of tea preparation.D. The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea.CThe goal of this book is to make the case for Chinese fashion minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it entails and why it resonates, and then to guide you on how to adopt this aesthetic if you decide it's the right path for you.To achieve this, I have divided the book into two parts. In part one, I delve into the philosophicalunderpinnings of Chinese fashion minimalism, beginning with an examination of the cultural forces that have shaped the traditional Chinese sartorial experience, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the principles of Chinese fashion minimalism.Part one culminates with an introduction to my recommended approach for embracing this aesthetic: the sartorial declutter. This process involves stepping away from non-essential fashion choices for a set period. At the end of this period, you will reintroduce a select few clothing items and accessories that you believe will significantly enhance your personal style and cultural identity.In the final chapter of part one, I will guide you through conducting your own sartorial declutter. I will draw on an experiment I conducted in 2018, where over 1,600 individuals participated in a cultural wardrobe cleanse. You will hear their stories, learn which strategies were effective, and be warned of the pitfalls to avoid.The second part of this book takes a deeper look at concepts that will help you cultivate a sustainable minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle. In these chapters, I explore the significance of traditional craftsmanship and the importance of nurturing high-quality cultural experiences to replace the time often spent on superficial fashion trends. Each chapter concludes with a set of practices designed to help you implement the chapter's key ideas. Consider these practices as a toolkit to assist you in constructing a minimalist wardrobe that suits your unique cultural context.8.What is the book aimed at?A. Teaching traditional Chinese fashion skills.B. Advocating a minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle.C. Solving cultural fashion dilemmas.D. Promoting the purchase of traditional Chinese garments.9.What does the underlined word "declutter" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Streamline.B. Accumulate.C. Inventory.D. Dominate.10.What is presented in the final chapter of part one?A. Cultural narratives.B. Quantitative fashion trends.C. Practical wardrobe examples.D. Historical costume analyses.11.What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?A. Apply them as needed.B. Share them with the community.C. Assess their cultural impact.D. Recognize the traditional values they represent.DThe film "Catch the Doll" is a poignant and thought-provoking work that, on the surface, delivers the signature humor of the Happy Twist team, but underneath, it presents a cruel allegory that resonates deeply with the audience. Here are my impressions of the movie, articulated in English: "Catch the Doll" is a masterful blend of comedy and tragedy, a film that starts with laughter but ends with a profound reflection on life's ironies. The movie, starring the iconic duo Shen Teng and Ma Li, is akin to a sugar-coated shell that initially offers the sweet taste of humor but gradually reveals the bitter pill of social satire and a probing examination of human nature.The film's narrative is a stark portrayal of the extreme pressures and expectations placed on children by their parents. Shen Teng's character, Ma Chenggang, a wealthy businessman, and his wife,the point of deception and manipulation, to ensure their son's success. Their approach to parenting is chilling, turning the concept of a nurturing home into a prison of expectations and control.The movie cleverly uses exaggeration to highlight the absurdity of such an extreme parenting style. Ma Chenggang's belief in the necessity of hardship for his son's growth is a twisted interpretation of the saying, "Heaven will confer a great responsibility on a person, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil.""Catch the Doll" also invites us to consider the broader implications of such behavior. It raises questions about the value of individual freedom and the right of children to have their own dreams and aspirations, rather than being mere tools to fulfill parental ambitions. The film serves as a mirror, reflecting the often-overlooked issues of excessive expectations, out-of-control education, and the disregard for personal value in modern society.In the end, "Catch the Doll" is not just a comedy; it's a social commentary that provokes deep thought and self-reflection. It's a film that, despite its humorous facade, leaves a lasting impact, urging viewers to question the nature of love, control, and the true meaning of success. The movie's ending, which is both happy and tinged with regret, encapsulates the complex emotions that it stirs within us, reminding us that often, we spend our lives trying to heal the wounds of our childhood.12.What is the central theme of the film "Catch the Doll"?A. The importance of parental guidance in children's success.B. The balance between humor and social issues in filmmaking.C. The paradoxical nature of extreme parenting and its impact on children.D. The journey of a child's pursuit of happiness and success.13.In the film, the character Ma Chenggang's parenting style is depicted as:A. Encouraging and supportive of his son's personal aspirations.B. Strict but ultimately beneficial for his son's character development.C. Excessive and potentially damaging to his son's well-being.D. Indifferent and neglectful of his son's emotional needs.14.The film "Catch the Doll" uses the character of Ma Chenggang to:A. Critique the societal pressure on children to succeed academically.B. Advocate for a more lenient approach to parenting.C. Illustrate the potential consequences of extreme parental control.D. Demonstrate the effectiveness of traditional parenting methods.15.The author's tone in discussing the film "Catch the Doll" can be best described as:A. Critical and disapproving of the depicted parenting methods.B. Neutral, simply presenting the film's narrative without bias.C. Admiring and appreciative of the film's social commentary.D. Skeptical, questioning the effectiveness of the film's message.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。

About an hour into the first day, obvious discomfort and shyness of a boy caught my eye. I could sense that this whole experience was foreign to him. He needed a friend. I walked towards him, made my first interaction but failed.At lunch the next day, as the campers eagerly participated in the camp song, my gaze wandered over noise and was caught by the boy under the tree, sitting alone and staring out of the window. I tried again, with the same questions as before. He again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really get into this stuff.” As I left the cafeteria, I realized this was going to take more time and effort - if it was even possible to get through to him at all.Days flew with me spending more time with him and finally came the camp night when I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy, once confined to the shadows of the tree, was a dancing wonder. I watched as he shared the meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.A few months after the camp, I received an unexpected call from the boy, who informed me of his ongoing immigration to a foreign country. A long pause followed and then he said, “I went back to school with confidence. I made new friends. My grades went up. The past few months were the best of my life.”In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for their own “boy under the tree”.4．How did the boy feel at the beginning of the leadership camp?A．Anxious and bored. B．Uneasy and lonely.C．Proud and enthusiastic. D．Comfortable and confident.5．What did the author suggest by mentioning “a dancing wonder” in Paragraph 3?A．The boy was expert in dancing. B．The boy became the focus of the camp.C．The boy contributed considerably to the camp night. D．The boy began to open up and socialize with others.6．The boy called the author mainly to .A．show off his recent progress B．express his gratitude to the authorC．recall the best memories in the camp D．share concerns about the approachingimmigration7．What message does the story convey?A．Camps help students shape their characterB．Every student has the opportunity to shine.C．Sincere care makes a difference to students’ growth.D．Reserved students face more challenges in their lives.When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images incomputer games, to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than human. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away? 8．What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?A．Make B．Overlook. C．Encourage. D．Reduce.9．The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as___________.A．time-consuming B．fast-paced C．thought-provoking D．well-designed 10．What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?A．Ensuring the pleasure of driving B．Making their sports cars affordable.C．Removing public doubts about safety. D．Integrating game engines into their vehicles. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Porsche: Sports Cars at Risk B．Self-driving Cars: Still Some Way to Go C．Simulators: The Core of Autonomous Vehicles D．Machine Learning Algorithms: The Arrival of AlGoldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, whenpresented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”12．Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish?A．To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.B．To create an advanced navigation system for humansC．To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.D．To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans13．What can we learn about the experiment?A．People gestured the goldfish throughout the experimentB．The tank was decorated with colorful background patternsC．Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes.D．The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish's incorrect judgment.14．It can be concluded from the fourth paragraph that ____________.A．optic flow mechanism is unique to humansB．mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfishC．goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual informationD．visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish 15．What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study?A．Neutral. B．Ambiguous. C．Disapproving. D．Favorable.What gives your life meaning? It is an important and natural practical question that we all ask ourselves at times. It circles around the notion of having a purpose and a reason to wake up and move forward in our lives. 16 Is it time to bring it back on track? Here’s how to get started.Treat your depressionYour depression empties your energy and damages your motivation. 17 Therefore, the key here is taking action no matter what you start with: tackling the depression directly through taking medicines or consulting doctors to get you moving forward. What the action is matters less than taking action itself.Get out of your head into your emotionIf you are heavily driven by what you should do, you need to start rewiring your brain to use your emotions as information. 18 Once you notice them, do something concrete with them - again, act. That is how you learn to trust your emotions and use them to guide you, and how you rewire your brain.Explore, experimentYou can’t figure out your sense of purpose by sitting on the couch and thinking it over. 19 You also need to focus on doing different experiments with being bold, and taking acceptable risks.The path to discovering or reigniting your sense of purpose is not about making a new decision but focusing on the process that leads to that decision. 20A．Hence, your emotions are your source of passion, desire, and energy.B．It may be caused by physical or emotional limitations that take away joy.C．However, for many, that sense of purpose has been absent for long stretches.D．Without them, you don’t make the changes that can pull you out of the depression. E．Instead, you need to explore, try things and see what sticks, what works, what doesn’t. F．Start by focusing on those slightest feelings telling you what you want and don’t want. G．Therefore, you need to clear away obstacles that keep you from acting and moving forward.二、完形填空The four people have persuaded companies to give them ￡250,000 worth of toys and foodfor nothing.

2024届江苏省南通等六市高三第一次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Where to Eat in Kuala LumpurGreat restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.Mum’s PlaceNothing brings more comfort than mom’s cooking. With recipes inspired by the owners’ mother, this restaurant brings you Nyonya dishes that are truly Malaysian. Located in the district of Damansara Perdana, Mum’s Place is a neighbourhood restaurant with its main customers from residents nearby. Some of the best dishes include cencaru fish, devil curry chicken and beef rendang.CantaloupeLocated about 20 minutes from downtown Malacca, it is a home-based eatery with about 10 tables manned by four operators. Unlike most restaurants, food is self-service here, with dishes placed on catering pans for customers to choose from. It serves traditional Malaysian dishes with distinct Chinese influences. You will find rice dumplings and chicken rendang among the offerings. It has two branches in the city. Their dishes sell out fast, so it’d be best to head there before lunch time.YumYum RestaurantSituated in the beautiful Shangri-La Hotel, Yum Yum Restaurant is among the locals’ many favourite spots to dine at. It offers an interesting Nyonya and Thai food with Chinese influences that make them stand out. The classic dishes include sambal petai prawns, assam fish head and Yum Yum egg. It can get crowded here, so it’d be best to head there early or call ahead for reservations.Troika Sky DiningOffering fine dining, the impressive Troika Sky Dining undoubtedly stands out from the pack. Set on the 23rd floor of Tower B of The Troika, it goes without saying that the cloud-skimming views here are something else entirely. The food is what helped it stand out. It serves award-winning French, Italian, Greek, and Spanish food and adventurous menu ofhigh-end pizzas and pasta.1．What do Mum’s Place and Yum Yum Restaurant have in common?A．They are based in hotels.B．They serve Nyonya dishes.C．They need prior reservations.D．They offer breathtaking views. 2．Which restaurant serves western food?A．Mum’s Place.B．Cantaloupe.C．Yum Yum Restaurant.D．Troika Sky Dining.3．What’s special about Cantaloupe?A．It is a buffet restaurant.B．It serves hard-to-find dishes.C．It has branches throughout Asia.D．It opens for lunch earlier than others.The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun, who has Parkinson’s disease, struggle to eat. Some food spilled (溢出) out of his mouth, the rest splattered (溅) on his clothes. Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav, 17, from Bengaluru, south India, to turn to robotics. He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers, sensors, motors, and a 3D printer. What emerged was a prototype (原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other, effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.“I’ve been fine tuning the design based on the college’s feedback-that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork, ” Aarrav says.For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set. He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the future innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany, Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype.More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease, a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainlyaffects people over the age of 50. Symptoms (症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, eating can become more difficult, forcing people to rely on help from others.Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s will have the smart spoon. He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing (回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?”4．What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do?A．Control their physical balance.B．Boost their mood and relieve stress.C．Maintain a good range of movement.D．Feed themselves more independently. 5．What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Overturning.B．Reconsidering.C．Conducting a study of.D．Making minor changes to.6．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s in India?A．To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention.B．To reveal the nation’s poor health situation.C．To popularize general knowledge of the disease.D．To convince people to volunteer for social causes.7．What can be learned about Aarrav from the text?A．He enjoys being alone.B．He has an innovative mind.C．He used to be a health worker.D．He longed to be a businessman.Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the more important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it”.One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptiveto misinformation and conspiracy theories (阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation among them.The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men-including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣)—and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality.She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the council to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.8．What does the book mainly focus on?A．Sharing climate communication tips.B．Teaching presentation skills with TED talks.C．Exploring critical thinking through literature.D．Promoting people’s insight into climate change.9．Which of the following best describes the advice in the book?A．Humorous but one-sided.B．Novel but contradictory.C．Serious and hard to follow.D．Well-based and workable.10．How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”?A．By changing their political identity.B．By challenging their fundamental beliefs.C．By offering more facts about climate change.D．By seeking common ground built on a shared love.11．What does the author want to say by telling the story in paragraph 5?A．World shift to clean energy is unstoppable.B．We should help people prepare for the climate crisis.C．Policymakers are less responsive to market changes.D．Conversations can influence climate decision-making.Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”12．What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known?A．Poor management.B．Opposition from her colleagues.C．Her bad reputation.D．The language barrier.13．What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research?A．Inefficient wildlife conservation.B．A knowledge gap in the scientific world.C．A growing interest in non-English papers.D．Inadequate job opportunities for translators.14．What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs?A．The urgency to protect rare species.B．The need to adopt one global language.C．The challenges in translating scientific texts.D．The biodiversity on the South American continent.15．What is presented in the last paragraph of the text?A．A potential solution.B．A theoretical model.C．A popular belief.D．A global trend.Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkwardlearn how to apologize.First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. 17 Remember, you will be raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings. Be respectful as you approach this task.Be direct and brief in your approach. Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. 18Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance. 19 If you think of the offense (冒犯) as an emotional bruise (瘀伤), think of the healing process as the color changes we see as a bruise heals.20 Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue.

But Shanya Gill,a middle schooler from San Jose,California,won the top award in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones,as stated in the press release.“The top winners have exhibited boundless curiosity,”Maya Ajmera president and CEO of Society for Science,said in the press release.“Their remarkable research not only reflects their talent but also paves the way for an exciting new future.”Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of2022,reported The Washington Post.“I had never really experienced something like that before,”she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen.“They had smoke detectors.and yet it still burned down,”she added.After she studied fire statistics,Shaya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could have prevented the fire.Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires from the smoke in the air,Shanya’s thermal(热的)imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring.With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi,a tiny computer the device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning.Creating the prototype(原型)was difficult and the hardest part was the programming,“I had two designs,and my first design completely failed.It was a really big challenge I had to go through.”she said.The final device outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy.Shanya wants to bring the costs down to make it even more common than hardwired smoke detectors.“Shanya saw a problem,went after it and tried to solve it,and that’s what we need toencourage with all young people,”said Ajmera.She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals,especially girls and kids of color,in STEM fields,as research indicates that many young people drop out of these areas.4．What can we learn about Shanya from the first two paragraphs?A．She gained a lot of money in the award.B．She showed a curious nature as a schooler.C．She set a big stage for young people her age.D．She was junior to other winners in performance.5．What motivated Shanya to develop her fire detection system?A．Her desire to win the science award.B．Her experience of a destructive fire.C．Her interest in computer programming.D．Her goal to improve STEM education for girls.6．What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention?A．It consists of two parts that are easier to conduct.B．It can send out a warning against a potential fire.C．It can detect active fires from the smoke in the air.D．It functions when a fire breaks out within10minutes.7．Which of the following can best describe Shanya?A．Reliable.B．Cooperative.C．Innovative.D．Generous.Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic(基因的)damage caused by environmental stresses.The growing tips of plant roots and shoots have an in-built mechanism(机制)that spells cell death if DNA damage is detected,avoiding passing on faulty DNA．Plants have small populations of stem cells(干细胞)at the tips of their roots and shoots, which enable them to continuously grow and produce new tissues throughout their lifetime.These stem cells serve as ancestors for plant tissues and organs.However,any genetic faults present in the stem cells will continue to exist and be passed on permanently throughout the plant’s life, which could last thousands of years.Given the critical role of stem cells and their exposure to potentially dangerous environments at the growing tips of roots and shoots,safeguards are necessary to prevent stem cell faults frombecoming fixed.Researchers Nick Fulcher and Robert Sablowski,funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council,aimed to uncover these protective mechanisms. Through experiments involving X-rays and chemicals,they discovered that stem cells were more sensitive to DNA damage compared to other cells.When DNA damage occurs,the cells have the capacity to detect it and cause programmed cells to die,preventing the propagation of the damaged genetic code to the rest of the plant tissues. This process has similarities to the safeguard mechanism found in animal cells,which has been broadly studied due to its relevance in preventing cancer.The identification of a similar protective system in plants is of great interest in the field of plant development.It also helps scientists develop plants that can better handle environmental stress.So knowledge of how plants deal with these stresses is of fundamental significance to agricultural science’s response to climate change.8．What is the function of the in-built mechanism in plants?A．To produce more roots and shoots.B．To increase the overall lifetime of the plant.C．To enhance plant growth and nutrient intake.D．To stop genetic faults in stem cells passing on.9．What can we know about stem cells in plants according to the text?A．They are relatively abundant in quantity.B．They are resistant to environmental stresses.C．They make quick response to DNA damage.D．They have the ability to repair damaged DNA．10．What does the underlined word“propagation”in paragraph4mean?A．Spread.B．Change.C．Existence.D．Self-repair. 11．What does the last paragraph focus on?A．The way of dealing with climate change on the earth.B．The significance of identifying the protective system in plants.C．The method of ensuring plant survival under environmental stress.D．The urgency of developing plants that can handle environmental stress.Recently,I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard.I remember buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories(配饰)afriend gave me.It occurred to me that1had been trapped in the“birdcage effect”.“Birdcage effect”means that when you get an item one day,you will prepare more things to match it.Weeks ago,I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping.One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her,so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading,and thus love reading,not just reading.I joked that she must have fallen for the“birdcage effect”.But the friend said with a smile:“Why not use the‘birdcage effect’instead?”For the first time,I heard that the“birdcage effect”can be used in reverse(逆向).However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school,and I seem to have used the“birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day,I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine,so I started writing with eager hands,and then I fell in love with writing.After shopping with my friends that time,I began to proceed to use the“birdcage effect”.I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk,and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration.When everything was ready,I started writing again.But how can we get rid of the“birdcage effect”in many things,and even use the“birdcage effect”in the opposite way?Various“birdcages”unavoidably appear in life,but we can distinguish them.If it is not in line with the actual situation,it is a“negative birdcage”,then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation.If it is a “positive birdcage”that motivates us to develop upward,we can clarify our goals,shop or decorate appropriately,and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals.At this time,you will find that the“birdcage effect”is actually not so terrible!12．What is paragraph2mainly about?A．The application of the“birdcage effect”in life.B．The necessity of using the“birdcage effect”in life.C．The turning point of the author’s idea on the“birdcage effect”.D．The author’s conflict with her friend over the“birdcage effect”.13．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience?A．To recall her delightful days at school.B．To explain the reason for her love with writing.C．To confirm the positive of the“birdcage effect”.D．To prove her knowledge of the“birdcage effect”.14．How can we make use of the“birdcage effect”positively?A．By realizing this effect has two sides.B．By promoting our personal consumption.C．By recognizing this effect is not so terrible.D．By guiding our acts to go with reasonable goals.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Getting Rid of the Birdcage Effect ConfidentlyB．Motivating Ourselves to Move Towards Our GoalsC．The Birdcage Effect:Influence on Consumer BehaviorD．The Birdcage Effect:How to Use It to Your AdvantagePursue Your Dreams Today,Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams?We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay.But why wait?16You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step.You can take minute steps toward a brighter future.And start right now.17If you never try,you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets.You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself.Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed.Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field.18Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day,you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction.If you allow your fear to get the best of you,you’re never going to forgive yourself.19.It’s what you would encourage your friends to do,so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push?Sometimes,following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day.It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule,but you don’t have to sacrifice everything tofollow your hearts.Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams.20 Pursue your dreams now,even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone,and even though it means entering the unknown.A．Ask yourself what would be worse.B．Starting small is completely acceptable.C．You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.D．New opportunities may lead to personal growth.E．If things go well,you can gradually make further shifts.F．You need to move past your insecurities and explore your full potential.G．Hard as it is,it’s crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空In2008,Calvin Lowe's four-year-old son Tyler needed to have a serious surgery.On the appointed day of the21,he and his wife brought Tyler to Children’s Hospital Colorado in
