Because of my strong interest in math, so I dream of becoming a mathematician. But every time I didn’t do well in the math exam, I felt really sad and would cry, which bothered us a lot. My math teacher suggested I tried to fix the problems instead of just crying, an useless approach. Therefore,
I started by thinking logically and discussing questions with my teacher frequent. Then I found out my weak points when I needed more practice, and
gradually improved myself. I made a habit to practise math out of school every day. Under the help of some online math apps, I’ve been more enthusiastic about the subjects. Now I’m fully motivating and that’s already half the battle.

文章主要介绍了冰岛的一些旅游景点和旅行活动。

14. Iceland is Europe’s westernmost country. Over 1,000 years ago, ancient explorers migrated from northern Europe to Iceland and established
the country. Most visitors’ popular destination is its capital city, Reykjavik, known for its stylish architecture. The city’s downtown area is lined with shops, art galleries, cafes, and bookstores.
Iceland is one of the most volcanically active nations in the world with a number of hot springs, all of which are heated naturally by volcanic activity. In fact, Iceland changes energy from these springs into electricity, which powers and heats people’s homes. As a result, Iceland burns very little fossil (化石) fuel, such as oil and gas. Hot springs are also popular among tourists. They receive more than 1.3 million visitors a year, who can relax their muscles and release their tension in the hot water.
Apart from springs, there is a range of outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy elsewhere in the country. “Iceland is an adventure,” says Squire, whose company organizes adventure trips. “We have Europe’s biggest glaciers (冰山), active volcanoes, cave explorations, and skiing.” One of Iceland’s most popular attractions is caving. Exploring Iceland’s unusual caves requires only basic caving knowledge and equipment. Ice caves are more challenging, however, and require special clothes and hiking tools.
If exploring caves and glaciers doesn’t interest you, head south. No trip to Iceland would be complete without a visit to the Golden Circle, which connects Gullfoss, Geysir, and Thingvellir V alley. Adventurers go to the Thingvellir V alley, where the land is actually separating and the stony ground beneath your feet frequently shifts. Hold on while you hike!
1. What is Reykjavik famous for?
A．Fashionable buildings.B．Small shops.C．Art galleries.D．Modern cafes.
2. Where does Iceland mainly get electricity?
A．From solar power.B．From hot springs.C．From oil.D．From gas.
3. What is hiking in Thingvellir Valley like?
A．Risky.B．Enjoyable.C．Boring.D．Rewarding.
4. Who is this passage mainly written for?
A．Scientists.B．The locals.C．Tourists.D．Business travellers.

文章主要介绍了由于非法捕猎和鱼类及野生动物管理局的管理改变而使得红狼数量急剧下降。

15. Called “America’s wolf”, the red wolf is the only large predator whose historic range is found entirely within the United States, stretching from Texas to New England. But hunting gradually reduced its range, and it was declared extinct in the wild in 1980.
Recovery efforts in the wild began in 1987 on the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. In a ground-breaking successful experiment, eight captive (圈养的) wolves were released this year into North Carolina, eventually growing into a population over 100, reaching a peak of around 120 wolves in 2012. But illegal hunting and management changes by the Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in their numbers plummeting.
In the spring, conservationists celebrated a small bit of good news when four captive-born pups (幼兽) were placed into a cave and successfully adopted by a wild red wolf mother. Meanwhile, another four adults were released into the wild. The pups are thought to be still alive and healthy. But the adults didn’t go well. In the months after release, three were struck by cars and killed, and the fourth was fatally shot on private land.
To boost the population after these deaths, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced in November that it planned to release nine adult red wolves into their recovery area this winter, land within and surrounding two wildlife reserves.
The Service also recently announced it would withdraw a 2018 proposal to shrink (缩小) the red wolves’ protected area in North Carolina by 90 percent, after a lawsuit accused the agency of going against the Endangered Species Act. Ron Sutherland of the Wildlands Network says it’s crucial that the agency has abandoned this wrong-headed proposal. And yet the situation now is even more urgent than it was in 2018 — this should launch the conservation community in the U. S. into crisis mode to save this species and bring it back from the extinction.
1. What does the underlined word “plummeting” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Promising.B．Declining.C．Multiplying.D．Increasing.
2. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A．The released wolves lived well.
B．The population boosted after the release.
C．The red wolf faced greater threat than before.
D．The released red wolves still needed protection.
3. What would the Service do to save red wolves?
A．Shrink the red wolves’ reserves.
B．Make a proposal to protect the red wolves.
C．Put some red wolves in some specific places.
D．Force the protected area into the state of emergency.
4. What does the text focus on?
A．The protection of red wolves.B．Challenges faced by red wolves.
C．Reasons for red wolves extinction.D．The relationship between red wolves and humans.

文章主要就如何应对在网上传播的令人沮丧和不安的帖子和视频给出一些建议。

17. How to React to Upsetting Posts Online
It’s pretty common for upsetting and disturbing posts and videos to spread online. 1 There are plenty of ways you can respond and engage with this kind of content—in any case, taking care of your mental health is especially important. Suspend before you share or reply. Misinformation can be really emotionally triggering(触发). 2 Even if you have a strong reaction to something you see online, slow down and take some time to analyze the content before you share it or respond.
Fact-check the information. Misinformation is often designed to look appealing and accurate, so it can be tempting to trust the content you see in
a high-quality graphic or post. That makes it especially important to fact- check the information. 3
Craft an informed reply if you think you can make a positive change. Some posts, however upsetting, come from a place of genuine ignorance.
4 Don’t feel like you have to fight every battle—if you feel like there are more effective ways to make a difference than potentially inviting an
online fight, it’s okay to conduct those instead.
5 It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online. If you feel up to it, try being the
bigger person and really listening to what the poster has to say even if their content is worded in a harmful way. Write out a response that addresses those negative feelings instead of the post itself.
A．It’s necessary to make a positive reply.
B．Avoid sharing any posts with misinformation.
C．You may be wondering how you can handle them.
D．Write a sympathetic reply so the poster feels heard.
E．You might see posts that make you feel mad, sad, or frightened.
F．Look into the source, the website, the author and the publication date.
G． If that is the case, write a response that clarifies the claims being presented.
