The accident left him unable to move from the chest down. During his recovery, he suffered from a stroke (中风) that made his right arm useless. Once anearly $300,000 a year. After the accident, a friend of his started the Help Dan Black Fund to cover some of Dan’s medical expenses. Dan learned about an experimental stem cell (干细胞) treatment in China that could enable him to walk again. After four years, donations to help Dan Black totaled $30,000.One day, in 2013, a news story caught the eye of Dan’s mother, Michaela, who then shared the story with her son. The story featured a five-year-old boy named Brecon V aughan. He had a rare form of disease and never walked by himself. The boy’s family had created a website — the Vaughan website to collect $100,000 needed for the treatment in the St. Louis Children’s Hospital, which could help Brecon walk. However, only half the amount had been raised, said the report.Then, after considering that his own dream of walking could be years away, he donated his $30,000 to Brecon’s cause. “I know how it feels to walk. Brecon doesn’t. He needs it much more than I do,” Dan told a newspaper. Dan’s generosity received a great deal of attention, and contributions started pouring into the Vaughan website.Finally, the family soon went beyond their fund-raising goal. They’ve promised to give the extra funds to the Tree of Hope charity, which helps sick children in the United Kingdom find specialized medical help. In October, Brecon and his family travelled to St. Louis to begin the treatment. “What Dan did is great,” Brecon’s mother said. “It is an extraordinary gift.”4．What can we know about Dan Blaek?A．He promised to be a guitarist.B．He lost his right arm in an accident.C．He needed much money to be treated.D．He created a fund to help other people.5．What does the underlined word “around-the-clock” mean in paragraph 1?A．extraordinary B．continuous C．effective D．temporary 6．How will the Vaughans deal with the extra funds?A．Offering gifts to sick children.B．Paying Brecon’s trip to St. Louis.C．Supporting Dan Black’s treatment.D．Giving them away to a charity. 7．What’s the best title for the text?A．A special fund-raising goal B．An expensive treatmentC．A selfless young man D．A fortunate boyToday, poetry and science are often considered to be mutually exclusive(互相排斥)career paths. But that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lovelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were both accomplished poets. The poet John Keats was a licensed surgeon. Combining the two practices fell out of favor in the 1800s. But translating research into lyrics, haiku, and other poetic forms is resurging(再现)among scientists as they look for alternative ways to inspire others with their findings.“Poetry is a great tool for questioning the world,” says Sam Illingworth, a poet and a geoscientist who works at the University of Western Australia. Through workshops and a new science-poetry journal, called Consilience, Illingworth is helping scientists to translate their latest results into poems that can attract appreciation from those outside of their immediate scientific field.Stephany Mazon, a scientist from the University of Helsinki in Finland, joined one of Illingworth’s workshops. In the workshop, she was grouped with other scientists and tasked with writing a haiku, a 17-syllable-long poem, which spotlighted water, a fluid that featured in all of the group members’ research projects. “It was a lot of fun, and surprisingly easy to write the poem,” Mazon says. She plans to continue writing. “We do a disservice(伤害)to ourselves to think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used to communicate scientific ideas,” Mazon says.That viewpoint is echoed by Illingworth, who thinks science communication initiatives are too often dominated by public lectures with their hands-off PowerPoint slides. “Actually, when science communication involves writing and sharing poems, it invites a two-way dialogue between experts and nonexperts,” he says. Scientist-poet Manjula Silva, an educator at Imperial College London, agrees. Poetry provides a way to translate complex scientificconcepts into a language that everyone can understand, Silva says.Scientists and poets are both trying to understand the world and communicate that understanding with others. The distinction between scientists and poets is less than people might think. We’re all just people with hopefully really interesting things to say and to share. 8．What is the purpose of mentioning the celebrities in paragraph 1?A．To display they were talented.B．To confirm they were out of favor.C．To encourage different career paths.D．To show poetry and science can be combined.9．What are Illingworth’s workshops aimed to do?A．Promote a new science-poetry journal.B．Inspire outsiders to pursue their careers in science.C．Encourage science communication through poems.D．Get scientists to exchange ideas about the latest research.10．What does Illingworth think of the dominant ways of science communication?A．Conventional.B．Effective.C．Innovative.D．Complex. 11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Scientists Take on PoetryB．Scientists and Poets Think AlikeC．Poetry: A Great Tool to Question the WorldD．Science Communication: A Two-way DialogueBesides soil, all plants need water. This makes it hard to grow plants where it’s dry. But this problem may soon be solved by researchers. Their invention is a super-moisture-absorbent gel (凝胶), or SMAG.“The gel-based material can be used as a soil enhancer, as well as alternative soil in greenhouses,” said Guihua Y u, an engineer at the University of Texas-Austin. He led the team that developed the gel. He also said this material could be “directly mixed with soil or fertilizer at certain amounts”.The gel works similarly to how dew forms. Dew is those water droplets attached to leaves of grass in the morning. It forms because of differences in air temperature between day and night. Air contains different gases, including water vapor (蒸气). Warmer air holds morewater vapor. As the air cools after dark, it loses its ability to hold some of it. When it reaches a certain temperature — known as the dew point — some water vapor will turn into tiny drops of water. When temperature rises the next day, that water evaporates, again turning into vapor.The research team decided to use this process to aid plants. The gel mixed with soil absorbs the water vapor and holds it. The next day, the gel instead slowly releases (释放) that water into the soil.Jeff Hattey, a soil scientist, says the gel sounds pretty helpful in farming, but you probably won’t see the gel at the hardware store anytime soon. He notes that based on the quantities of the new material used in Yu’s experiments, outdoor fields might require a whole lot of it. According to his research, farmers might have to add about 13 trucks of gel to the soil top per acre (英亩).Yu believes future studies will help his team understand if the gel could be used for larger, outdoor fields. “Fortunately, the gel is not poisonous,” Yu says. So it shouldn’t hurt the bacteria or worms that are needed to keep soil healthy for growing things.12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The application of the gel.B．The raw material of the gel.C．The characteristics of the gel.D．The research process of the gel.13．Why is dew mentioned in the third paragraph?A．To introduce its formation.B．To explain the principle of the gel.C．To stress the importance of water vapor.D．To clarify the definition of the dew point.14．What problem with the gel does Jeff Hattey point out?A．It is of little help in real farming.B．It will be too expensive to buy.C．It requires too much calculation to apply it to outdoor fields.D．It must reach a huge amount to be effective in outdoor fields.15．What can we learn about the gel?A．It works only at night.B．It can replace soil in dry areas.C．It is friendly to the creatures in the soil.D．It makes use of dew to offer plants water.isn’t true, but this shouldn’t stop you improving you communication skills. Here are a few tips to help you become a better communicator.17Verbal language is only one aspect of the communication—body language is another aspect. If you ever wanted to know how to tell if someone is lying, body language is the answer. Your body language tells other people what you aren’t verbally saying, such as if you are anxious, confident, confused, angry or any other type of emotion or state of mind. If you become great at reading body language,it will help you become a better communicator.Listen to othersBefore you ever begin to speak, take a minute to see if anyone else has something to say.18 Listening to others has many benefits, such as allowing you to learn new things or get information that you may later need.Think before you speakYou parents probably told you this as a child, but many people still do not take a moment to think about the words they are about to say. 19 . There is a time and place for all words and tones of voice.20 You will have to practice your communication skills before you can ever become an excellent communicator.A．This is not and over-night thing.B．Singing a song for them is good.C．Become fluent in body languageD．Don’t try to make the conversation go your way.E．You should decide what you want to get in any conversation before you choose your words.F．If you are too anxious, you can’t find the right body language to use in the communication.G．In fact, if everybody were excellent communicators, the world would be a muchbetter place.二、完形填空Before it was proven that the earth was round, it was a well-known “fact” that it wasbelieved it couldn’t be done, it wasn’t done.That is, until Columbus 24 common knowledge and asked “what if?”, this question literally expanded the 25 of his country, changed history, and altered the 26 reality forever.In spite of our 27 to think of reality as the undoubted 28 of our experience, the definition of reality changes every time someone 29 the boundary conditions of traditional wisdom. When our view of reality changes, our 30 changes with it, based on 31 is newly considered possible. When Columbus returned from the New World, a revised world map was 32 and this began a new era of exploration and adventure.Examples of the impossible being made possible can be found throughout history. When Chuck Yeager flew the X-1, he destroyed the myth that there was such a thing as a sound barrier. His training and talent, 33 with the new technology of the day, not only enabled him to go 34 the speed of sound, but strengthened the fact that even so-called technological barriers can be 35 as well.21．A．rough B．smooth C．hard D．flat 22．A．generously B．entirely C．widely D．brilliantly 23．A．In other words B．In addition C．On the whole D．For instance 24．A．proved B．questioned C．declared D．demonstrated 25．A．size B．capacity C．foundation D．boundary 26．A．obtained B．accepted C．adjusted D．justified 27．A．attitude B．strategy C．tendency D．insight 28．A．proof B．basis C．origin D．confirmation 29．A．pushes B．pulls C．prints D．presses 30．A．behavior B．theory C．experience D．achievement 31．A．that B．which C．what D．it32．A．let down B．put down C．set up D．drawn up 33．A．concerned B．combined C．covered D．loaded 34．A．beyond B．through C．over D．down 35．A．admitted B．assured C．overcome D．ignored三、语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入一个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night.

It is a journey fraught with challenges, setbacks, and obstacles that often test our resolve. At the heart of navigating this treacherous path lies perseverance—a steadfast commitment to continue despite difficulties. This invaluable trait not only serves as a compass guiding us towards our goals but also fortifies our character, making us resilient in the face of adversity.One po ignant illustration of the power of perseverance is Thomas Edison’s quest for the perfect light bulb. After thousands of failed attempts, Edison was often ridiculed and doubted by contemporaries who deemed his endeavor futile. Yet, he persevered, fueled by an unwavering belief in his vision.His relentless pursuit eventually culminated in the invention thatrevolutionized illumination, forever changing the world. This example underscores the fact that success often lies just beyond the point where most people give up.Another inspiring tale is that of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist who fought tirelessly for girls’ education despite facing grave threats to her life. Despite being shot by the Taliban for her advocacy, Malala’s perseverance never faltered. She continued to speak out, using her platform to raise awareness and inspire millions around the globe. Her story is a testament to how perseverance can transform individual courage into a global movement.In my own life, I have encountered numerous instances where perseverance proved pivotal. When faced with academic challenges or personal setbacks, it has been my unwavering determination that has carried me through. Each obstacle overcome has strengthened my resolve, teaching me that progress, however slow, is still progress.In conclusion, perseverance is the cornerstone of success. It enables us to transform dreams into reality, turning adversity into opportunity. By embracing perseverance, we empower ourselves to push beyond limitations, overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles, and ultimately achieve greatness. As these examples demonstrate, it is not the absence of obstacles that defines success but our ability to persist in the face of adversity.。

The book is about a young girl’s magical adventures in a small Kansas town, in 1936.Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won. “You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L’Engle, but I never expected to be put in a category with her,” Vanderpool told TFK. “It’s fabulous.”Picture ThisThe picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal. The book was illustrated by Erin E. Stead and written by her husband, Philip C. Stead.

The book, which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier, tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made. The enslaved potter, known only as Dave, lived in South Carolina in the 1800s.21.

One Crazy Summer is about a mother with her three children having a holiday in California.BZheng Qinwen announced herself as a major new force in women’s tennis with an import French Open debut (首秀) last month. Now the Chinese teenager hopes the fighting spirit she showed at the Grand Slam (大满贯) tournament can encourage kids starting out in the sport to chase their dreams on the court with the same determination.“If tennis is your dream, I think you always have to fight for your dream. Because we only have one life, you shouldn’t have any regrets,” Zheng said last week in an interview.The 19-year-old showed she possesses the talent to be a contender at the very top level of tennis with a breakout campaign at French Open.Accounting for two-time Grand Slam winner Simona Halep along the way, Zheng’s journey was ended in the fourth round by a three-set defeat to eventual champion Iga Swiatek. Zheng, though gave the Polish world No. 1 a big scare, battling back from 3-0 down in the first set to force, and win, a tiebreak (平分决胜局)。

He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest. Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five y ears ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.1．What was Dr. Gibbs’ life goal?A. To study plants.B. To save more lives.C. To make a lot of money.D. To build a forest.2．One of Dr. Gibbs’ theories about planting was that ______.A. he often talked to the treesB. he never watered the treesC. he kicked the trees heavilyD. he buried the leaves around the roots 3．What does the writer mainly want to tell us?A. Trees are not as weak as we think.B. Difficulty is necessary for growth.C. We should listen to others’ adviceD. Planting trees is good for the environment.3.（8分）New law lets students sleep inWhen your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on earth does school have to start so early?Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up―or better still, science.A law in California, passed on Oct 13, requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like too big of a change, but it could mean one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier.“The e ffect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of getting fat and diabetes (糖尿病).In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education, found that students who have enough sleep are more alert (机敏的) in class and get better grades.Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter puberty (青春期), which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep before 11: 00 pm. So when school starts at 8: 00 or earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the daytime.This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of children will come to appreciate ( 感激) this historic day and our governor for taking bold action.1.When should public high schools start classes according to the California’s new law?A.No earlier than 8:30 am..B.No earlier than 8:00 am.C.No earlier than 7:30 am.D.No earlier than 9:00 am.2.What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?A. The amount of sleep people need changes with age.B. Lack of sleep could lead to health problems.C. Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.D. Sleep problems are one of the leading causes of diabetes3.What do we know about teenagers’ sleep patterns?A. Ideally, they need eight hours of sleep a night..B. Less sleep is needed when they enter pubertyC. They often wake up at midnight due to biologicalD. They may have difficulty falling asleep before11.pm4.Where does this passage probably come from?A.

Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years，development in technology has moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now，two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype(原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton，marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics，says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly.“It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed，” he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company’s main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors(交叠式旋翼) to power the vehicle.The company is testing a fullsize prototype of the Hoverbike，which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand，the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a fullsize prototype of its personal flying device，called Jetpack(喷气背包).It can fly for more than 30 minutes，up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said Jetpack “is built around safety from the start”.In his words，“reliability is the most important element of it.

Until Wednesday, the title of China’s youngest Asian Games gold medalist be-longed to 15-year-old skateboarder Chen Ye. Nevertheless, the youngest participant at the Games is Mazel Paris Alegado, a 9-year-old Filipino skateboarder.Asked if she was nervous before the competition, Cui shook her head and said: “My dad told me to stay relaxed, enjoy the competition and showcase my skills. As long as I give it my all, I have no regrets.”Skateboarding, which is rooted in street culture, is a sport that emphasizes freedom and personal techniques. Cui only took up skateboarding in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow her to practice rollerblading (滚轴溜冰), which she began as a 3-year-old. Her father suggested that she try skateboarding at home instead. “I remember the day I stepped onto the board for the first time. It felt incredibly smooth. It was love at first sight,” Cui said.Two years later, she ranked third in the women’s street event at the Shandong provincial games. She soon joined the provincial skateboarding team and underwent a more comprehensive (全面的) and structured training program.In skateboarding, injuries are unavoidable, but when discussing the pain and the setbacks, Cui displayed a level of resilience beyond her age. “When I started skateboarding, I thought it was great fun. Later, I realized people suffer a lot of injuries while skateboarding. But that iswhere the spirit of skateboarding lies,” she said. Most of the time, getting injured is just part of the process, and she simply pushes through it and never gives up, she added.Cui is “the future of Team China”, according to Zeng Wenhui, the silver medalist. “I think she is quite excellent. We will stand together in moving forward in the future,” she said. 4．Who is the youngest athlete taking part in the Asian Games?A．Chen Ye.B．Cui Chenxi.C．Mazel Paris Alegado.D．Zeng Wenhui.5．What can we infer from the passage?A．Cui’s father has a positive effect on her.B．Cui’s fellow athletes don’t get along well with her.C．Cui spent a hard time from rollerblading to skateboarding.D．Cui received a comprehensive training program during the pandemic.6．What’s the spirit of skateboarding according to Cui?A．Life is movement.B．No cross, no crown.C．Never too old to learn.D．Freedom is a part of the essence of life. 7．What does the underlined word “resilience” refer to in paragraph 6?A．Calmness.B．Resistance.C．The ability to adapt.D．A state of feeling depressed.Ann has been severely paralysed (瘫痪)for more than 18 years. She cannot speak and normally communicates. But now, she has been able to speak through an image on the computer using technology that translated her brain signals into speech and facial expressions.The advance raises hopes that the technology could be on the edge of transforming the lives of people who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions like strokes (中风).The latest technology uses tiny electrodes (电极) put on the top layer of the brain to detect electrical activity in the part of the brain that controls speech and face movements. These signals are translated directly into a digital avatar’s (化身) speech and facial expressions including smiling, frowning or surprise.The team put 253 paper-thin electrodes on the top layer of Ann’s brain over an area important to speech. Afterwards Ann worked with the team to train the system to detect her unique brain signals for various speech sounds by repeating different phrases repeatedly. Thecomputer learned 39 distinctive sounds and a Chat GPT-style language system was used to translate the signals into understandable sentences. This was then used to control an avatar with a voice personalised to sound like Ann’s voice before the injury, based on a recording of her speaking at her wedding.The technology was not perfect, translating words incorrectly 28% of the time in a test run involving more than 500 phrases, and it generated brain-to-text at a rate of 78 words a minute, compared with the 110–150 words typically spoken in natural conversation. However, scientists said the latest advances in accuracy and speed suggest the technology is now at a point of being practically useful for patients. A crucial next step is to create a wireless form that could be put beneath the skull (颅骨).8．How can Ann speak?A．By tiny electrodes on her brain.B．Through an avatar using the latest technology.C．Through repeating different phrases repeatedly.D．By a technology that detects her brain signals.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How the technology works.B．How the technology benefits the patients.C．How the technology translates the brain signal.D．How the technology is put into wide application.10．Which is unnecessary to make the avatar sound like Ann?A．Ann’s cooperation.B．Ann’s facial expressions.C．An AI language system.D．A recording of Ann’s speaking. 11．What do we know about the technology according to the last paragraph?A．It is a promising way to help patients.B．Its translating speed is too slow.C．It cannot be applied to patients.D．It is not accurate in translating at all.Fed up with tourists who only come in to check out the scenery, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5 euro fee for coming in just to look.Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching locations in all of Barcelona. The vintage (老式的) look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of tourists every day, but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the products sold inside—all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines, etc. According to the store, many tourists enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, wander around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge people for “just looking” just to discourage them.Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge tourists a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as the staff and the regular customers became increasingly inconvenienced by random tourists looking around, taking pictures, with absolutely no interest in the products on display, they decided to do it.Merino has clarified that he and his partners have no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to anymore. By posting a warning about the 5 euro fee in the shop window, they have managed to discourage most unwanted visitors.After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria spread quickly on social media, the Barcelona business faced a public outcry, and it was forced to explain the reasons and clarify that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure. 12．What can we learn about Queviures Murria?A．Tourists are not welcome there.B．It has a history of nearly 100 years.C．It charges people for taking photos.D．Tourists prefer its design to the products sold there.13．Why did the grocery store put up the sign?A．To earn a fame.B．To attract more tourists.C．To warn the impolite visitors.D．To provide a convenient shopping environment.14．What’s the public’s opinion on the measure?A．Opposed.B．Objective.C．Supportive.D．Unconcerned. 15．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A travel journal.B．A news website.C．A fashion magazine.D．A debate program.二、七选五As the new semester rolls in, it’s time to get ready for a fresh start to achieve your goals.16 Here are some practical tips to help you get through a fresh start with ease.Evaluate how you did last semester. Grades aren’t everything, but they can help you understand how well you’re doing in terms of your studies. So start by taking some time to think about these things. Did your grades improve, stay the same, or drop last semester? How can you make changes this semester? 17Set new goals for this semester. Before the semester begins, take some time to set clear and achievable goals for yourself. 18 Having goals will provide you with directions and motivation (动力) throughout the semester. To make the most of it, write your goals and hang them in a visible place.19 Keep your motivation high by reminding yourself of the goals you set. Then surround yourself with supportive people who inspire and encourage you. Celebrate your achievements along the way to maintain a positive attitude. Remember to stay adaptable and make adjustments to your plan as needed throughout the semester.Take care of yourself. Remember to prioritize (优先考虑) your physical and mental health. 20 Practice stress management skills, or engage in hobbies that help you relax. Taking good care of yourself will improve your focus, energy and overall productivity.A．Stay motivated and stay positive.B．Take an active part in various activities.C．Get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and exercise regularly.D．Identify what you want to finish academically and personally.E．It will save you time and help you communicate with your teachers.F．You’d better make the most of this time because starting off strong is the key to a successful semester.G．It’s helpful to write these things down, allowing you to make connections and take the next step more easily.三、完形填空people spent so much time at home during COVID-19,” says 28-year-old Li Jianlin, wholovers in China, and it 23 online fitness programs.“Many young people go to the gym, or workout regularly. 24 , a phased (阶段性的) and slow approach to recovering exercise after COVID-19 is the best way to 25 pre-COVID-19 fitness levels.

Many experts argue that social media can have a negative effect on mental health, especially for teenagers.One study found that excessive use of social media can lead to increased feelings of loneliness and depression. This is because social media can create unrealistic expectations and comparisons with others. For example, teenagers often see posts about their peers' perfect lives, which can make them feel inadequate.Another issue is cyberbullying, which is a major problem on social media platforms. Cyberbullying can lead to severe emotional distress and even suicidal thoughts.Despite these concerns, some experts believe that social media can also have positive effects. For example, it can provide a platform for social activism and a way for people to connect with others who share their interests.Questions:1. What is the main concern expressed in the passage?2. According to the passage, what is one of the negative effects ofsocial media on young people?3. What is another problem mentioned in the passage related to social media?四、写作（25分）Write an essay on the topic "The Importance of Environmental Protection."
