12. I remember the day when I first learned to ride a bike. It was a frightening, yet
fun experience. My granddad was the one who taught me, and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what to do, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals (脚蹬
子) and start pedaling. He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn’t.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let it go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted to get off. I forgot how to use the brakes and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.
As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened, my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning, I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn’t that afraid of falling anymore.
Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, I believed I could do well with my granddad’s help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.

介绍了四个中国的美丽乡村。

13. Incredibly Beautiful Villages in China
Likeng Village
Built in the year 1010, Likeng Village in Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province preserves the area’s unique Hui architecture. Though the village charges tourists an entrance fee, it is a worthwhile point from which they can view the blossoming canola flowers
(油菜花) in the spring and admire the local calligraphy under camphor trees (樟树) as old as the village itself.
Danba Villages
With few tourists aware of Sichuan Province’s Garzȇ Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, those who do make the trip are rewarded with views unlike those anywhere else. And within the heart of the area, far away from polluted cities, lie the Danba Villages, considered by some as the most beautiful villages in China. Each village is made up of unique Tibetan-style folk houses.
Hongcun Ancient Village
Though Hongcun is one of China’s most well-known ancient villages，its popularity has not ruined its uniqueness. After a climb through the great Yellow Mountains in Anhui Province, rest for a while in this foothill village, which was the filming site for select scenes from Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Centered around a moon-shaped pond, the village was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 for its well-preserved Ming-and Qing-era architecture.
Shuangfeng Forest Farm

讲述了Amiri入选UAESA“阿拉伯联合酋长国航天局”，然后成功带领团队把太空飞船送上火星的故事。

14. In 2020 Sarah A1 Amiri, now 35, was appointed chairwoman of the United Arab Emirates Space Agency (UAESA). She was shocked at the honor and the responsibilities that came with it, but she could not have been entirely surprised. Amiri has been fascinated with space since she was 12 years old. However, given
that space exploration was still in the hands of just a few of the world’s largest nations, it seemed unlikely to a young Amiri that a country like the U.A.E. would reach space any time soon. So rather than anything directly space-related, Amiri studied computer programming in college. But by the time she graduated in 2009, the first green shoots of an Emirati space program had begun to grow so she applied to join UAESA and was hired at 22 as a software engineer.
The U.A.E. launched its first Earth observation satellite, Dubai SAT, in 2009, followed by Dubai SAT 2 in 2013. Then, in 2014, it set its goal to send a probe to Martian orbit by 2021. Amiri was named deputy project manager and science lead on the mission, which had the ambitious goal of mapping Mars’ entire atmosphere over a whole Martian year. The spacecraft Amiri’s team design ed and built for the mission was named Hope that took seven months to reach the Red Planet. Waiting for news of
the spacecraft’s arrival on February 9, 2021, was, says Amiri, “the toughest point.”
At that time, she was standing outside the Burj Khalifa and celebrating with the crowds who had gathered to mark the moment.
The Hope mission was not just ambitious in terms of its scope (范围), but also in terms of gender (性别) representation. Amiri’s science team included 80% women, an unusual number in the field of space exploration. She has always been determined that gender wo uld not in any way hold her back in her chosen field. “I grew up to be—and continue to be—deaf to the challenges related to gender,’’ she says.
1. How did Amiri feel when learning about her appointment?
A．Amazed. B．Worried. C．Confused. D．Delighted.
2. What inspired Amiri to be a member of UAESA?
A．Her passion for challenges.
B．Her major in computer program.
C．The mission of sending spacecraft to space.
D．The development of Emirati space program.
3. What does “the moment” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The U.A.E. launched Dubai SAT.
B．Mars’ entire atmosphere was mapped.
C．The U.A.E. spacecraft landed on Mars.
D．Amiri was named deputy project manager.
4. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Hard Road to Success
B．A Journey of Space Exploration
C．The Woman Achieving Great Goals
D．The Woman Taking the U.A.E. to Mars
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是衡量创造力的方法——DTA任务的来历和意义。

15. Can you think of three words that are completely unrelated to one another? What about four, five, or even ten? According to an international team of researchers from McGill University, Harvard University and the University of Melbourne, this simple exercise of naming unrelated words and then measuring the semantic distance (语义距离) between them could serve as an objective measure of creativity.
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uses the Divergent (发散的) Association Task(DAT), a four-minute, 10-word test to measure one aspect of creative potential.
The DAT was origina lly designed by Jay Olson, a recent PhD graduate from McGill’s Department of Psychiatry, inspired by a childhood game involving thinking of unrelated words. He wondered whether a similar task could serve as a simple and elegant way to measure divergent thinking, or the ability to produce various solutions to an open-ended problem.
While studies of creativity and its nature are not new, relatively little is known about the process itself. “Creativity is fundamental to human life,” explains Olson, who is now a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard. “The more we understand its complexity, the better we can foster (培养) creativity in all its forms.”
The method is an easier and simpler way to test creativity. Using the DAT, the researchers asked participants to name 10 words that were as different from each other as possible. A computational algorithm (计算算法) would then estimate the average semantic distance between the words. The more related the words were, (“cat” and “dog”) the shorter the semantic difference would be, compared to less related words (such as “cat” and “book”).
The team’s first study highlighted the links between semantic distance and two commonly used creativity measures (the Alternative Uses Task and the Bridge-the-Associative Gap Task). This was applied to a later study with 8,500 participants from 98 countries, where the semantic distances changed only slightly by demographic variables (人口统计变数), suggesting that the measure can be used across different populations.
“Our task only measured a small part of one type of creativity,” says Olson. “But these findings enable creativity assessments across larger and more diverse samples with less bias (偏差), which will finally help us better understand this fundamental human ability.”
1. What do we know about the DTA from the text?
A．It involves thinking about related words.
B．It asks participants to solve open-ended problems.
C．It can test a person’s divergent thinking.
D．It was created by Jay Olson in his childhood.
2. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A．The importance of DTA. B．The design process of DTA.
C．How Jay Olson’s study was carried out. D．How to measure a person’s creativity.
3. What conclusion can we draw from Jay Olson’s studies?
A．Semantic distance should be estimated more accurately.
B．Jay Olson’s study could help improve creativity.
C．The DTA method is only for native English speakers.
D．DTA is a reliable method to help study human creativity.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．The Principle of DTA B．How to Foster Creativity
C．The Importance of Creativity D．A New Way to Measure Creativity

I Found the Right Gift
Walking along the Lockport Canal on my way home when I was off duty before the Thanksgiving Day, I spotted two women coming toward me. I decided they must be mother and daughter. The daughter reached into her pocket and handed her mom a snack. They both laughed.
I began to think about my mom. My mom had dementia (老年痴呆) in the early stage. How could I leave her to fend for herself? I was a wife and mother who worked full-time. The answer was simple: I couldn’t. I knew I had to act to k eep her safe like she protected me when she took my tiny hand and walked me to kindergarten.
I came up with the idea of a college student. Living close to a college, I contacted someone in Student Services. I asked for a responsible student to live with my mom free of charge. Luckily the college representative found one for me and got us in contact.
We met at a local doughnut store. Walking in, I saw her before she saw me. On the table sat the college’s admissions manual. Could she be as nervous as I am? Wi th every step I took forward, I felt another pushing me back.
“Hi, I’m Joanna,” said, extending my hand.
“Gifty,” she said and smiled.
We both felt a little awkward, but I asked, “Tell me a little bit about yourself.”
“I’m originally from Ghana. I’m hoping to go to college to be a nurse, but I can’t afford the dorm,” she said with a tear in her eye.
I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “My mom has dementia. I need someone to be my eyes and ears. That person would get a free room and use of the Internet living with my mom.”
More tears from Gifty. Then she spoke. “I know you don’t know me, but I’m very responsible. I would never do any harm to your mom, and I want so badly to be a
nurse.” I believed her. My instinct said yes. We talked a lot and I finally gave her my mom’s address.
