However, I never thought it actually happened in real life. I never expected to have a “moment” of my own. When it arrived, mine was much more powerful than I could have ever imagined.During the spring of my junior year, my class watched a documentary called “The Invisible Children.” It was about three college students who take a trip to Africa and document their experience. At first the film was slightly humorous. However, once the group arrived in northern Uganda, the mood changed. They learned what the consequences of a 23-year war had been for thousands of children. Some had lost family and friends, while others were caught by the opposing force and became child soldiers.Before long, I was sobbing. I couldn’t believe these things were happening, yet at the same time I knew they were. I just hadn’t been paying attention, for in the past 17 years, I was blessedly protected. When the movie ended, I couldn’t get it out of my head. For the next week, I was not myself. Every bite of food I took I thought of Grace, the 15-year-old who had little to eat. When I went to bed, I pictured Sunday, the 14-year-old boy sleeping on a straw mat on the ground in a camp. My whole world shifted.Since that day, I haven’t been able to picture my future in a way that doesn’t involve goingto Africa and doing what I can to help. Ultimately, this is why I decided to major in engineering. With an engineering degree, my potential for change will be limitless. I will build wells and schools, and design irrigation systems. Engineering is tough, but I know—in what Yeats called “my deep heart’s call”—that this is what I’m supposed to do with my life.4.How did the author think of a decisive moment at first?A.It was impossible.B.It was unforgettable.C.It was common.D.It was powerful.5.How does the movie influence the author?A.It amused him.B.It changed his perspectives of life.C.It made him unsure of himself.D.It made him lose the desire to eat or sleep. 6.Why does the author choose to study engineering?A.To achieve his goal.B.To be well acknowledged.C.To challenge himself.D.To realize his childhood dream.7.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Celebrity.B.Health.C.Education.D.Science.Every year, travelers head to South America to be amazed at the vast glaciers, huge open skies and high mountains. But at Omora Ethnobotanical Park on Tierra del Fuego, visitors are encouraged to think small.Tierra del Fuego, a remote island at the tip of South America, might offer little in terms of animals and trees, but when it comes to bryophytes (苔藓植物), it is among the richest corners of the planet. In the area that covers less than 0.01% of the Earth’s land surface, more than 5% of the world’s bryophyte species is found.On entering the park, you’re given a magnifying lens (放大镜). Guided by plant experts, you are invited to get down on your hands and knees to explore the little-known world of Tierradel Fuego’s “miniature forests” — the bryophytes that cover the rocks and trees. Focus is key: as you tiptoe through the park, it is easy to miss or even step on them.I wondered how interesting mosses could be. But when I got up close, they started to come to life. Shapes and colours appeared that were not visible to the naked eye. One plant was bright yellow, while another was green with a bright red tip like a little hat.One of the strangest plants is Old Man’s Beard, which looks like thin noodles and hangs off the trees in webs. According to my guide Lily Lewis, it plays an important role in the growth of the forest, capturing nutrients (营养) and salts blown in on the ocean wind.Old Man’s Beard is extremely vulnerable to pollution, and has all but disappeared across much of the planet. But in Tierra del Fuego, where the air and rain are among the cleanest on the planet, it grows wildly.“The hand lens is your entry point into the world of the miniature forests,” Lewis said. “Looking through a lens reminds you that there are other viewpoints from which we can see the world.”8.Which title best describes Tierra del Fuego?A.A wonderland for tiny plants.B.A unique place for rare species.C.A top destination for hiking lovers.D.A remote land with different landscapes. 9.What quality is highly valued while exploring Omora Ethnobotanical Park?A.Curiosity and creativity.B.Quickness and confidence.C.Calmness and attentiveness.D.Determination and courage.10.Which can best replace the underlined word “vulnerable”?A.Sensitive.B.Adaptable.C.Beneficial.D.Resistant. 11.What is the best title for the text?A.Eco-tourism in Tierra del Fuego B.An Encounter with Old Man’s BeardC.A Tiny Forest on the Tip of the World D.Start Your Journey of Discovery, Now!Pushed by the rapid pace of today’s fashion industry, it’s no wonder many clothes buyers find themselves with a “closet (衣橱) of regrets”. All the clothes that don’t get worn can hang heavy on a consumer’s mind until finally thrown away. The trouble is, “There’s no ‘away’ for your clothes,” says Maxine Bédat, author of a 2021 book, Unraveled: The Life and Death of a Garment,and an activist trying to change the industry’s wasteful ways.A few statistics tell the story. Fashion is responsible for about 10% of the carbon emissions (排放物) that are tipping our planet toward climate disaster. It produces 20% of all industrial water pollution. And it creates unimaginable quantities of rubbish, with about a garbage truck of clothes burnt or buried in a landfill every second.Although some companies have voluntarily tried to minimize their environmental and social impact, little progress has been made. So, a bill known as the New York Fashion Act was introduced. It would help consumers better understand the impact of their purchases and require every large multinational fashion name operating in the state to map their global supply chains, disclose their environmental and social impacts, and set targets to cut emissions. Failure to meet the targets could bring a 2% fine on annual turnover.However, the bill is pro-business, argues Ms. Bédat, who worked with the bill’s co-sponsors to craft the measure, because it would level the playing field for companies to operate at the same environmental standards.Ms. Bédat is looking beyond the “more” of fashion to how people value their clothes. Her book closes with a vision of a future when “we will love our clothes because we have seized control of our own attention and removed the noise in our inboxes and on our social media channels that had taken our attention from our true needs and desires. And we bought them not to fill other holes in our lives, but from an aware and informed mindset.” That could be just enough to clear out anyone’s “closet of regrets.”12.What does the underlined word “story” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Regrets left by over-consumption,B.Worries generated by abandoning clothes.C.Anxiety produced by falling behind the trend.D.Problems caused by the fast-paced fashion industry,13.What does the New York Fashion Act aim to achieve?A.Boost sales for fashion companies.B.Regulate global fashion supply chains,C.Raise environmental awareness of buyers and producers.D.Limit the expansion of the fashion companies in New York.14.What does Bédat think of the bill to the fashion companies?A.Fair.B.Costly.C.Complex.D.Demanding. 15.How can the “closet of regrets” be reduced according to Bédat?A.Follow trends and buy more clothes.B.Value needs and make wise purchases.C.Plan budgets and shop eco-consciously.D.Stress functionality and cut down on buying.Some people measure success by the wealth they’ve accumulated, or the status they’ve achieved. Yet, even though they’ve reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 16 Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.Live by your beliefs and values.People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 17 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.Follow your passion.People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “ 18 ”Feel content.People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 19 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”20People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else’s life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.Without purpose, it’s easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.A.Make a difference.B.It’s the purpose of life.C.Put others before yourself.D.So they live with certain moral principles.E.The secret of success is constancy to purpose.F.Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die today.G.To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.二、完形填空When an infectious disease broke out and supermarket shelves were 21 , Daniel and Nancy decided they no longer wanted to 22 others for food.
