Even before she lost her teeth，I thought my mother，Clara，was funny looking.Mother had a long nose.My nose was also too long.At 16，I announced that I wanted to have it "done".For many years I was delighted with my new look.
While in her 40s，Mother lost most of her teeth to an ongoing infection.Over time，her jaw shrank and her face collapsed around it，When she heard one of her co-workers whisper that she "looked about 95 year old" she shrugged it off.I was determined that no co-worker，or anybody else，was ever going to say such things to me.
Twenty-five years ago，I had a facelift.Better yet，modern dentistry allowed me to keep most of my teeth.But my hands became Mother's hands.My tightened face bore the hint of an all-too-familiar network of fine wrinkles.Considering the advances in skin care，I could have had my problems filled.But year after
year I hesitated.Mother had grown weak，then ill and then died in 1986.
It wasn't until recently，years after the long loneliness that follows the loss of any parent that I realized why I'd left my aging face alone.In the mirror，an 80-year-old woman stared back at me with her skin，far more lined than that of my friends.Despite years of anxiety and plastic surgery，I looked a lot like the woman who once told me that life is about inner strengths，not appearances，and who turned out to be right.
I wonder now why I ever wanted to eradicate （根除）Mother from my reflection.Who would have imagined how comforted I'd feel these days，knowing I have only to look into the mirror to call up that much-loved woman？

The game is going on，yet you can hear a needle drop in the stands.No one makes a sound out of fear they'll distract the players defending their bases（垒）because the players need to me their hearing to know when the opposing player is running toward them.Once the batter hits a base with their hand，the crowd erupts in applause.These people are playing beep baseball，an adapted version of baseball.
The game has been around for decades.Beep baseball uses sounds in place of sight to make the game accessible to the visually weakened.There are only three bases，home，first and third，and they stand 4

Growing buildings from mushrooms may sound like something out of a science fiction novel，but scientists are turning the fantasy into ing the mycelium （菌丝体）of various kinds of mushrooms，scientists are growing bricks and other materials used in the construction
industry.Considering that mushrooms are natural and abundant，and that the construction industry is responsible for just over 10 percent of the world's carbon emissions，they offer hope for a far more satisfactory building solution.
It is not only the construction industry that is experimenting with mycelium.South Korean start-up Mycel makes mycelium-based materials that can replace animal leather and plastic in various products，including fashion accessories and furniture.Car manufacturer Kia is embracing innovation with mycelium and has partnered with Mycel to develop their leather replacement based on mycelium.This new soft material can mimic （模拟）a variety of textures and can be dyed.It is resistant to tearing，and has a high strength，both of which are key to car seats.
As mycelium technology is relatively new，its potential is still being explored.Researchers are testing a range of applications in the laboratory.The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency （DARPA）is also interested in the possibilities of mycelium.The agency is working with US mycelium-technology pioneer Ecovative and university partners to develop a solution for rebuilding areas after a natural disaster. Reconstruction efforts are often time intensive and costly，as most materials need to be imported，so the program aims develop a method for growing local materials on site that can self-repair.They are also experimenting with maintaining mycelium's bioactivity （生物活性）so that it could actively self-repair when damaged，essentially creating living buildings.Inspired by nature，engineers and scientists are advancing sustainability by finding ways to take less from the environment，and give back more.This brings hope for building a more stable future.
12. How can the new technology affect the construction industry？______
A. Reducing its carbon emissions.
B. Making building materials stronger.
C. Slowing down the building process.
D. Improving buildings' appearance.
13. Why does Kia cooperate with Mycel？______
A. To produce fashionable furniture.
B. To conduct further experiments.
C. To reduce the use of plastic in car seats.
D. To develop mycelium-based materials to replace leather.
14. What often leads to the costly reconstruction after a natural disaster______
A. The high transportation cost.
B. The shortage of building workers.
C. The lack of international assistance.
D. The low efficiency of building devices.
15. What is the best title for the text？______
A. Scientists Find New Species of Mushrooms.
B. Mushrooms Inspire Engineers to Build a Better Future.
C. A New Experiment Shows How to Build a Better Future.
D. Future Reconstruction After Natural Disasters Will Be Improved.

On making friends
In life we can hardly do without friends.There are many difficulty and problems that we can't overcome with only their own efforts.Moreover，we need friends to share with our joys and sorrows；otherwise，we will suffer from loneliness.However，all friends can help us when we are in great need.So what on earth is true friendship As a popular saying went，"A friend in need is a friend indeed." True friends are those which never desert you when you are in need.On a contrary，they will offer you sincerely help even at the cost of their own interests.Beside，they will encourage you to stick to what is right or avoid what is wrong or illegal.In conclusion，true friendship lies in sincerity and self-sacrifice.

Car manufacturer Kia is embracing innovation with mycelium and has partnered with Mycel to develop t heir leather replacement based on mycelium. （汽车制造商起亚正在接受菌丝体的创新，并与Mycel 合作开发基于菌丝体的皮革替代品。

）可知，他们合作是为了开发皮革的替代品。

D选项
To develop mycelium-based materials to replace leather.（开发以菌丝体为基础的材料来代替皮革。

）符合原文意思。

故选D。

（3）细节理解题。

根据第三段Reconstruction efforts are often time intensive and costly，
as most materials need to be imported，
so the program aims develop a method for growing local materials on site that can self-repair.（重建工作往往耗时且成本高昂，因为大多数材料都需要进口，因此该项目旨在开发一种在现场种植可以自我修复的当地材料的方法。

）可知，由于灾后重建的大多数建筑材料需要进口，而购买和运送这些进口材料需要消耗一大笔钱和一段时间。

因而导致重建成本昂贵。

A选项
The high transportation cost（运输成本高）符合原文意思。

故选A。

（4）标题归纳题。

根据最后一段Inspired by nature，
engineers and scientists are advancing sustainability by finding ways to take less from the environment，
and give back more.This brings hope for building a more stable future.（受自然的启发，工程师和科学家正在通过寻找减少从环境中获取的东西，并回馈更多的方法来促进可持续发展。

这给建设一个更加稳定的未来带来了希望）可知受自然的启发，科学家采用新的技术创造新的材料满足人类的可持续发展，拥有美好未来。

B选项Mushrooms Inspire Engineers to Build a Better Future（蘑菇激励工程师建设更美好的未来）符合文章大意。

A．Scientists Find New Species of Mushrooms.科学家发现新的蘑菇品种；B．Mushrooms Inspire Engineers to Build a Better Future.蘑菇激励工程师建设更美好的未来；C．A New Experiment Shows How to Build a Better Future.一项新的实验展示了如何建设一个更美好的未来；D．Future Reconstruction After Natural Disasters Will Be Improved.今后自然灾害后的重建会有所改善。

故选B。

这是一篇说明文。

主要介绍了科学家们正在利用蘑菇的菌丝体来种植建筑材料，这种新型材料可以取代动物皮革和塑料，具有高强度和耐撕裂的特点。

除了建筑业，该技术还可以被用于汽车制造和其他产品。

菌丝体的潜力仍在探索中，美国国防高级研究计划局正在与菌丝体技术公司合作开发自然灾害后重建地区的解决方案。

这些新技术有助于促进可持续发展和创造更加稳定的未来。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。

阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。

其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。

此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。

要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。

推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。

它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。

我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因。
