You’re so young right now, but I hope this letter will be helpful to you one day when you’re older. I feel it is my responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image. In a lot of women’s eyes, I’ve probably already failed in this aspect due to a lot of pink Barbie dolls in Vera’s room right now.
But I will say this about Barbie dolls: I played with Barbie dolls for many years when I was growing up and here I have a healthy body and a positive image. I have a master’s degree, a successful career and a published book. If Barbie dolls were really so damaging to my femininity(女人气质) and self-image, I highly doubt whether I could list all of these achievements.
It’s hard for women not to worry about our weight or to wish we could afford more stylish clothes. It’s hard not to want someone else’s hair or eyelashes. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. The thing I’ll tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in all the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.
Don’t let that message carry any weight within yourselves. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller, and know that the reason why they pushed you down in the first place is just that they’re scared. I want to tell you that I have never in my life felt more beautiful than when I have stood my tallest.
24. What does the author think about Barbie dolls?
A. They did no harm to her image.
B. They enable her to achieve a lot.
C. They prevented her development.
D. They contributed to her promotion.
25. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. It’s women’s nature to be envious.
B. It’s easy to read women’s thoughts.
C. Women like to be close to each other.
D. Women tend to pursue a perfect appearance.
26. What does the author suggest her daughters do?
A. Try to be the most beautiful.
B. Stand tall with love and toughness.
C. Compare themselves with others to improve.
D. Push others down on the way to be the tallest.
27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the letter?
A. To tell her daughters what real beauty is.
B. To warn her daughters of the trouble in life.
C. To share with her daughters all her experience.
D. To persuade her daughters to follow her example.
C
If conditions get bad enough, almost any kind of weather can become a storm．
Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans. It can cause major events to be postponed. And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people, fortune and animals.
If you weather the storm, or ride out the storm, you survive and move on without harm or injury. For example, let’s talk about Tornado Alley, the name for part of the central United States. During springtime, this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes. People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass. People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!
You can also weather a storm, but it doesn’t involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean making it through a difficult experience or trying times. So，if the stock market crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.
Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They’ve seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past — things that should really stay buried!
But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example．However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most serious part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm．
However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don’t worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you !
28. The third and fourth paragraphs are developed _______.
A. By making contrast
B. By presenting data
C. By analyzing cause and effect
D. By giving examples
29. Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?
A. To stress the importance of weather forecast．
B. To emphasize the awareness of family．
C. To clarify the calm before the storm．
D. To praise the older children for being clever．
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. A problem can’t be solved if you worry too much．
B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather．
C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork．
D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program．
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To persuade
B. To inform
C. To advertise
D. To amuse
D
The mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance of University of Queensland wildlife research released today. The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.
A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years recording the responses of various species.
“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones(飓风), droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr Maxwell said. “Some of the negative responses we recorded were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”
"Critically endangered bird species in Hawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in the Bahamas."
Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals (哺乳动物) and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals. Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities.
UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help affect ecosystem management.
“The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said. “As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common, we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive. Wherever possible,
high quality and complete habitat areas should be preserved, as these are the places where species are most resilient (易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.”
32. How was the UQ research conducted?
A. By observing extreme weather events.
B. By protecting the endangered species.
C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate.
D. By analyzing the reason why mass animal death happened.
33. What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. destroyed
B. declined
C. decreased
D. distinct
34. Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events?
A. Drought caused 13 cases of extinction in bird populations.
B. Drought caused 12 cases of population decline in mammals.
C. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones.
D. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. UQ Wildlife Research
B. Extreme Weather Events are Threatening
C. Ecosystem Management Counts
D. Negative Responses to extreme weather events

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you’re in your 20s or even 30s, you might feel a lot of uncertainty all the time. You may be not sure what your life purpose is. 36 This is normal.
We all want to have a certain life purpose. We all want to feel we’re on the right path. We all want to perfect our habits, our routines, or our productivity. We all want to feel more certain, and perfect in wh at we’re doing.
There is a struggle between the comfort of certainty and perfection and the fear of uncertainty and being suboptimal(不最理想的).
Let me let you in on a secret: no one is free from this struggle. Look at the most successful people you can think of —Bill Gates, Obama, Taylor Swift. 37 Do you think they have certainty and a feeling of reaching perfection? Not a chance. There is not one of us alive, not me or anyone else, whoever feels certainty about their purpose or path. If they do, they’re fooling themselves. 38 No one ever feels they’ve found the perfect productivity routine, the perfect version of themselves.
39
We all feel uncertainty, all day, and we all struggle with it. Some people have grown more comfortable with it than others, but in general no one likes uncertainty.
40 That’s perfectly OK, perfectly normal. Don’t run from it. Instead, stay with this uncomfortable, unappealing uncertainty. It’s here in you, a part of this moment, a part of you but not the whole of you.
A.Because it doesn’t exist.
B.Do you think they have it all figured out?
C.This uncertainty you’re feeling is unpleasant.
D.But if they’re honest, they don’t feel that certainty.
E.See if you can tell what you’re being uncertain about.
F.So focus on what you actually have right in front of you.
G.You may be uncertain about what path you should take in life

There was a noticeable touch of 55 in the way he seemed to be doing things—56 the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to admire it; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and 57 , standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.
It was a 58 to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a 59 if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt 60 of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.
