Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair.

Teenagers from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers（同龄人）to do less well in schoolwork and to drop out of school. Studies have shown, however, that a positive attitude towards schoolwork and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriersand lack of resources they face. Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement （参与）comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how teenagers experience their fathers’ warmth and the beliefs and behavior that are most affected by it.
This new study is part of a large one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Researchers asked 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their school work, and how they experienced their fathers' warmth. The students' maths and language arts grades were also gained. The research team took into account the influence that mothers have on their children’s well-being in their analyses.
Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism and higher achievement at school. “Low-income fathers affect their teenagers’ beliefs about themselves and their future, and these beliefs influence their achievement by increasing their determination to complete school tasks, “says Dr, Marie-Anne.
These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, although in different ways. Experiencing their fathers’ warmth first influences daughters’sense of optimism, and thenspills overinto their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better maths grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers, love and boys' belief in their ability to succeed in academy.
4. What is more likely to happen to teenagers from low-income families?
A. They will be more determined to struggle.
B. They will have fewer happy things to share.
C. They will fail in their studies and quit school.
D. They will receive less love from their parents.
5. How is the new research different from the previous ones?
A. It only researches families in the north of America.
B. It only studies low-education families in the world.
C. It combines questionnaire data and students, grades.
D. It mainly focuses on the effects of fathers' involvement.
6. What can we know about fathers' warmth?
A. It is less effective than that of mothers.
B. It affects girls and boys in different ways.
C. It mainly applies to girls rather than boys.
D. It has a more direct effect on girls thanon boys.
7. Which of the following best explains "spills over" underlined in the last paragraph?
A. Spreads.
B. Changes.
C. Bursts.
D. Checks.
C
For years, Zach Ault, a father of three, enjoyed being physically active. He was even training for a half-marathon. But in 2017, he took time off to recover from an infection. After recovering, he tried to continue his runs but could not complete them. He was not able to spend time with his children. He had to cut back his job. Even sleeping as much as 16 hours a day made no difference in his condition.
“His body had literally hijacked him and it wasn't going to allow him to push through, ” said Anne Ault, his wife. After months of testing, doctors announced their result-chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that makes an individual feel extremely tired.
This fatigue lasts more than six months and becomes worse after any kind of physical exertion (费力活动). Patients may have difficulty standing upright. They also may have trouble thinking, often described as a “brain fog”. There are no approvedtreatments, or even tests to help with diagnosis. There is no way to predict who will recover and who will have a severe case that lasts for years.
Now the doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a unique study to learn more about the condition. Zach Ault is one of the subjects in the study. When Ault rides an exercise bicycle, scientists measure how his leg muscles use oxygen. Afterward, doctors fit a special cap on Ault's head to measure electrical activity in his brain. They then send him to spend the night in an air-tight room where air has been removed with pipe for additional study. Scientists measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to tell how much energy Ault is using, minute by minute. “We're figuring out how his body adjusts to an exercise load, or a stress load.”
“It's hard not knowing if or when I'm going to recover, ” he said. But Ault says the study did help him learn about the disease. And it gave him ideas about how to save up his energy.
8. What was Zach Ault's life like before 2017?
A. He was fond of exercising.
B. He won several half-marathons.
C. He spent much time lying in bed.
D. He was busy looking after his children.
9. How did the infection affect Zach Ault?
A. He lost his job.
B. He was unable to sleep.
C. He became too weak to do sports.
D. He was tired of running a half-marathon.
10. What can we learn about chronic fatigue syndrome?
A. It usually lasts no more than months.
B. It is likely to cause thinking disorders.
C. Patients with it need to stay in bed all day long.
D. Patients with it should avoid any kind of exercise.
11. What does Zach Ault think of the study?
A. It helped him cure his illness.
B. It helped him recover and stay fit.
C. It taught him how to enjoy cycling.
D. It brought him new ideas about fighting diseases.
D
“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to makethathappen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.
Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom.
Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. Recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product. This requires a great deal of energy. On the other hand, when you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own. And upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. Recycling is good for the environment, but upcycling is even better.
Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is
not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs.
As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our resources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can, stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be upcycled.
12. Why does the author mention an old saying in the first paragraph?
A. To arise reader’s awareness of upcycling.
B. To stress the importance of upcycling.
C. To lead in the topic of upcycling.
D. To show the idea of upcycling.
13. Which one below belongs to upcycling?
A. An old ladder is transformed into a bookshelf.
B. Old tin cans are transported to landfill.
C. A broken wooden door is chopped up.
D. Old cloth is made into a paper bed.
14. What is the difference between recycling and upcycling?
A. Upcycling is much more creative.
B. Recycling is much easier to achieve.
C. Recycling is much more cost-saving.
D. Upcycling is much more energy-efficient.
15. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Upcycling is popular at present.
B. Upcycling is replacing recycling.
C. Upcycling is worth recommending.
D. Upcycling is a tradition in daily life.

Lesia Cartelli was badly burned in a gas explosion at her grandparent’s house at age 9. In fact，the burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn’t recognize her. But now，this brave woman uses her injured past to help other burn victims find healing.
On that terrible day，Lesia and her cousin were playing in their grandparent’s basement. A gas leak caused the whole house to blow up. The explosion threw many of the 9 family members in the home across the street. Already a fighter，Lesia pulled herself out of the ruins. Flames still covered her little body，so she rolled in the dirt and snow to put them out.
“It was all face，hands，back and it had burned around my waist，”she says. Lesia’s own grandfather thought she was someone else because of how badly she was burned. As nursing staff loaded her into the ambulance，her grandfather tried to leave. He thought the house ruins still held his granddaughter’s body. Even though Lesia was right in front of him，he didn’t realize it was the same child.
Catching a glimpse of her reflection in the ambulance window helped Lesia understand why her grandfather didn’t recognize her. Burns covered 50％of her body and fire burned off all her hair.
Lesia spent several months in the hospital，undergoing surgeries and skin grafts(移植). Once released，Lesia’s scars(疤)drew stares and questions from people. so she started isolating herself.
“When I was burned，everything in my life changed，”she said. “My friendships changed. I hated going to schoo1. You are coping with things you never had to cope with before. People staring at you. People asking questions. Why do you look like that?”
Lesia could have remained isolated her whole life. When bad things happen，we can always choose to move
backwards or to let God give our pain purpose. Lesia chose the latter，realizing she was put on this Earth to do more than just survive.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
