Note that there is one word more than you need.Learning is not unique to humans. Scientists have observed many different animals teaching their young skills like how to find food and keep themselves safe.Among humans, educational practices can be traced back 22 as far as human life goes. Evidence of teaching and learning has been found from remnants of human life 23 back thousands of years BCE — and that’s just where we’ve found written evidence. Oral and practical education (for example, early humans 24 teaching their children to hunt for food) likely go back even further.Learning has continued all over the world throughout the history of human life, in more ways than we have time to write about here. However, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which refers to the rapid rise of new technologies, will have a massive impact on how we as a global society will 25 education in the future. Life in this new technological landscape demands that we change our 26 to education in a number of ways.To face a future of constant technological change, we’ll need to 27 to continuous learning as a new norm. In his book Future Shock, US writer and businessperson Alvin Tofflerwrote that “the illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn and relearn.”The future of education 28 in integrating continuous learning into our everyday personal and professional lives even more than we already do. This might be why the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra has proposed that compulsory, publicly funded education 29 not just elementary school — as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights puts forward — but continuous learning, too.Sitra cites US American biologist E. O. Wilson, who said “We are 30 in information, but we long for wisdom. Therefore, the world will be led by those who are able to collect the correct information at precisely the right moment while thinking 31 and making important decisions wisely.”三、完形填空“Say the magic word!” As children, we’re taught that the polite thing to do is always to say “please.” In fact, it’s one of the top 32 we learn growing up. Today’s babies who cannot talk yet are even taught it using sign language. But how often do you really say “please” in everyday conversation? Whatever your 33 , it’s likely too high — way too high.New research published in Social Psychology Quarterly found that people use the word “please” when making a request a (n) 34 7% of the time. Using conversation analysis, the study investigated when and where people use “please” in everyday requests. Not only do people use “please” less than 10% of the time when making requests, but they also tend to use it most when a “no” response is 35 .More interestingly, research has found that requests phrased with “please” are no more likely to work than other polite requests — and sometimes they even have 36 effects. Why? Because the word “please” is being used as a way to convince or even 37 the other person into agreeing with a request they might not otherwise be inclined to do. This common small talk mistake can leave the person being asked feeling a little 38 .39 , research shows similarly low numbers of using “please” going all the way back to the1970s. “And if your first reaction to hearing this was ‘OK, so other people might not sayplease, but I say it all the time,’ it turns out that people have pretty terrible 40 of what exactly they’ve said,” Stivers says. “What people are really trying to say by 41 that they say ‘please’ often is that they are polite people,” she says. “And you probably are. Just because you’re not saying ‘please,’ it doesn’t mean you’re not being polite. There are so many other 42 we use when making requests that show politeness.”“I think it’s so interesting that we teach children to do this thing that we as adults don’t do and will 43 them out of it as they get older,” Stivers says. But teaching kids to say please isn’t bad — teaching children politeness is always a(n) 44 . Just make sure you’re including other polite phrases as well.And this should go without saying, but you should never tell another 45 to say “please.” I run into this often with a family member who demands I use the word “please” when I ask for something, even if I already phrased it in a polite way. Instead of making me more 46 , it makes me want to punch them.32．A．abilities B．priorities C．manners D．skills 33．A．imagination B．estimation C．attitude D．achievement 34．A．disappointing B．exceptional C．optimistic D．persistent 35．A．accepted B．anticipated C．answered D．refused 36．A．counter B．side C．beneficial D．immediate 37．A．trick B．encourage C．frighten D．force 38．A．astonished B．ashamed C．threatened D．uncomfortable 39．A．However B．Moreover C．Therefore D．For example 40．A．understanding B．explanations C．memories D．beliefs 41．A．assuming B．confirming C．insisting D．ignoring 42．A．phrases B．solutions C．commands D．instructions 43．A．carry B．convince C．socialize D．save 44．A．challenge B．aim C．burden D．virtue 45．A．family B．adult C．friend D．child 46．A．patient B．composed C．annoyed D．obedient四、阅读理解Moving can be terrifying — whether it’s to a new city or an entirely new country. The good news? V olunteering can be a great way to settle into a new community, meet people, and learn valuable skills. That’s why we’re spotlighting Kajal Patil, a volunteer who recently moved and found volunteer opportunities on V olunteerMatch to make an impact in her new community.Kajal moved to the United States from India in February 2017. Having previously volunteered for two years as an assistant yoga teacher in her home country, Kajal was enthusiastic about volunteering and began looking for volunteer opportunities that match her interests on V olunteerMatch. “I enjoy volunteering and it’s great to have such meaningful experiences in life,” says Kajal.Kajal was drawn to a volunteer opportunity with the Meridian International Center to review applications on behalf of the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI). Kajal had previous experience working with the markets candidates were applying from, and the position also afforded her the opportunity to work remotely.After connecting with the opportunity on V olunteerMatch and successfully completing the application process, Kajal got to work. Her role involved reviewing 44 in-depth applications from potential candidates across Latin America and the Caribbean for a four-week fellowship in the U. S. She was responsible for describing the business ideas presented by these candidates, assessing the social impact of their businesses, and determining the strength of candidates to carry out their plans. With almost 4, 000 applicants in 2017, Meridian International Center considers volunteers like Kajal to be integral members of the team. With help from volunteers, 250 candidates have now been selected to take part in the program and will travel to the U. S. this fall.Kajal says that this volunteer opportunity super-charged her existing skills, while helping her build new ones such as time management, business analysis, decision-making, planning, and presenting. She is now looking for her next volunteer opportunity and reflects positively on her experience with Meridian International Center, “A new country brings in a lot of new experiences and volunteering helped me to settle into a new environment,” adds Kajal. “By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my self-esteem, other people benefited too. V olunteering is a great opportunity to improve yourself, others, and the whole society”.Whether you recently moved to a new place or are looking to make an impact in your current community, find a volunteer opportunity to empower yourself — and others — on V olunteerMatch.47．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of volunteering in a new community?A．V olunteering helps newcomers adapt to a new community.B．Volunteering offers opportunities to polish existing skillsC．Volunteering enables people to acquire valuable professional skills.D．V olunteering allows people to make friends all over the world.48．One of the reasons why Kajal chose to work with the Meridian International Center was that _________.A．she had experience working with candidatesB．she was allowed to work wherever she wantedC．the working time of the job was quite flexibleD．she was good at summarizing business ideas49．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?A．Kajal considered this volunteer role to be both challenging and rewarding.B．Volunteers like Kajal played an important part in the success of the program.C．Kajal felt that helping others was more important than self-improvement.D．The Meridian International Center relied entirely on volunteers to manage applications. 50．The main purpose of this passage is to _________.A．advertise for the volunteer platform that provides volunteer opportunitiesB．encourage U. S. immigrates to volunteer to adapt to a new environmentC．share Kajal’s story to inspire other young people who wish to volunteerD．illustrate the benefits of volunteering for immigrants’ professional developmentClean with Ease To get cleaning, all you need to do is add water and solution-Platinum SmartWash does the rest.

The term was first popularized by US sociologists Dorothy Miller and Elaine Brody in 1981. Miller wrote of “adult children” who were exposed to “a unique set of unshared stresses in which giving of resources and service far outweighs receiving them.”The declining health of older generations has coincided with more parental demands such as the spread of attention-rich “gentle parenting”, the rise in anxiety and depression among teenagers, and the delayed departures from the family home of children in their 20s.David Goodhart, the head of demography(人口统计学) , immigration and integration at the conservative thinktank Policy Exchange, has just written a book entitled Care Dilemma: Caring Enough in the Age of Sex Equality. His thesis is that family obligations have been disproportionately borne by women, but that greater equality has led to a shortage of care, and an ever-increasing and more costly role for the state. He argues that the solution is not “to push back against equality but to raise the status of care, a realm that has traditionally been female”.Goodhart accepts that total equality has yet to arrive, though he points out that the share of domestic labor has shifted from 70: 30 25 years ago to 60: 40 today. But he maintains that his argument is really about reordering of society’s priorities to liberate women and men to play more active and beneficial roles as carers.The whole issue of care is one that within the family context is filled with guilt and shame, which by their nature are private and often well-guarded emotions. Rare is the parent who isn’t severely tested by the job of rearing children, but the large majority are in it for the long run. Perhaps the one point that all interested parties can agree upon is that all forms of care — for young and elderly people — have been neglected by us as a society, pushed to the margins or back into private settings, where all the accompanying pain and frustration have been left to grow.Whether or not one agrees with Goodhart’s social perspective, it’s hard to dispute that our attitudes and practices relating to care are due for a radical change. We have to rethink the needs and dignity of people at all stages of life, to humanize these most human of situations. No one should be the meat in a demographic sandwich that is long past its sell-by date.54．Which of the following is NOT a stressor for the “sandwich generation”?A．The rising trend of “gentle parenting” that demands great attentionB．The burden of caring for both children and aging parentsC．The low availability of mental health resources for teenagersD．The delayed independence of young adults living at home55．According to Goodhart, the solution to the care dilemma is _________.A．to recognize and improve the value of caregiving rolesB．to return to traditional roles for men and women in caregivingC．to provide more government funding for caregiving servicesD．to promote total equality between genders in terms of caring56．It can be learned from paragraph 5 that _________.A．society has placed a high priority on supporting family caregiversB．guilt and shame involved in caregiving are well guarded in societyC．most parents do not experience much difficulty when raising childrenD．the neglect of care has resulted in negative emotions within the family57．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that _________.A．the sandwich generation should give up caregiving because the need for it has expired B．the current system of care is old-fashioned and in need of a radical reformC．caregiving responsibilities should be shifted from the sandwich generation to societyD．the demographic challenges of caring for family members are out of dateThe Role of Adventure in Personal GrowthIn a world that often confines us within the boundaries of routine and familiarity, inviting in adventure can boost growth and well-being. The very essence of adventure—stepping beyond comfort zones, facing new challenges, and embracing uncertainty—is a gateway accessible to most to personal transformation.It propels us into experiences that are not only thrilling but also deeply enriching. 58 Instead, it provides a unique landscape for cultivating resilience, enhancing self-awareness, and rediscovering the joy of learning through experience. Whether navigating the rapids of a river, exploring a new culture, or undertaking a creative endeavor, each adventure carries the potential toreshape our perspectives, improve our mental strength and add a vibrant layer to the carpet of our lives.The true value of adventure lies not just in the excitement of the moment but in the lasting impact it has on our journey towards a resilient self. The COVID-19 pandemic, a period of great global challenge, provided a testing ground for highlighting the intrinsic value of adventure-based activities. When the world faced lockdowns, individuals who regularly engaged in adventure activities demonstrated a unique resilience compared to those who lacked adventure. Those engaged in adventure applied the mental frameworks developed through their experiences (e.g., adaptability, problem-solving under pressure, and emotional regulation) to deal with the uncertainties of the pandemic. 59Moreover, venturing into unexplored territories is not merely an escape from the ordinary; science suggests it’s a vital exercise for our brains. Engaging in adventures stimulates our ability to be adaptative and to solve problems. Yes, we make amazing memories and have wonderful stories to tell, but research suggests we are also fostering neuroplasticity (神经可塑性). 60 Every new adventure, therefore, contributes to making our minds more agile.61 When we nurture our awareness that we alone can overcome challenges, this earned internal strength isn’t limited to simply overcoming physical barriers. This skill extends to embracing almost any new role or experience that challenges us mentally and emotionally. Whether solving a complex problem, embarking on a new career path, or engaging in a new social setting, the confidence gained from adventures spills over into various aspects of our lives, too. Simply put, adventure is instrumental in shaping a more robust and confident self.A．By taking adventures, we uncover hidden strengths and develop valuable skills. B．Additionally, the role of adventure in building self-confidence is well-studied. C．Adventure, in its many forms, offers more than mere escapism.D．Adventure can challenge us, push our boundaries, and foster a sense of achievement.E．By creating new neural junctions and strengthening existing ones, we enhance our brain’s health and capacity.F．Accordingly, it’s clear that adventure’s benefits extend well beyond leisure of the moment.五、语法填空Directions: After reading the sentences below, fill in the blanks to make the sentence coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word.Throughout the pandemic, we 62 (bury) in bad news, just dragging ourselves through the days. If we took a risk, it was often so ordinary: going to the grocery store, socializing with another human being in person. We spent so much cognitive energy trying to stay safe and keep up with events 63 we had little left to pursue the types of big, frightening-yet-exciting adventures that expand our lives.Now, it’s about time that we pushed ourselves outside of our comfort zone. Adventures expand our world by allowing us to engage with our self and others in a new way. Research shows that novelty activates our dopamine (多巴胺) system, which enhances our mood and positive outlook. New situations, especially ones that seem dangerous, also force us to confront our fear. This can boost our mood by making us feel 64 (stressed).You don’t have to free solo Yosemite’s El Capitan to reap benefits. Any adventure 65 you stretch yourself and learn something new counts. For some, it may be jumping out of a plane or scuba diving in Iceland. For others, trying a different workout or going out to dinner at a new place might do the trick. Ready for your adventure? Here’s some advice.Start small. The risks you’re up for now 66 look different from the ones you took before the pandemic. That’s OK. 67 manageable activity you choose to do this weekend will break your laziness, build your confidence, and help you pursue bigger adventures.Shift 68 you view anxiety.Research from Harvard University shows that people who interpreted their nervousness about activities such as karaoke singing and public speaking 69 excitement enjoyed the experiences more and performed better than 70 who tried to suppress their anxiety. This changed their threat mindset into an opportunity mindset.Tap into regret. It can be very motivating. Think about whether you’ll feel disappointed if you miss out on this interesting, expansive experience or glad you stayed home. “We tend 71 (regret) actions we don’t take rather than ones we do,” says Boardman, a psychologist. “So the fear of missing out can help you.”六、翻译72．菜刚上桌，仪式就结束了，宾客们都惊愕不已。

Never give up!” sang my two young children, Max and Charley, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi on another adventure, off the beach where they had spent the day building sand castles and beating the waves. This time, they were seeking the ice-cream truck.Over the years, Mimi had become our family’s source of positivity through her effort. My father’s death left her to raise me and my ten-year-old brother alone at forty. She faced tragedy that is powerful enough to cloud just about anyone’s outlook. Instead, she challenged herself to find joy every day. She was always up for a new challenge, whether parasailing (驾帆伞滑翔) over the Gulf of Mexico, or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example, Mom taught us how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude.She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren. Prior to starting her adventure with Max and Charley that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the familiar sound of the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair. The ice-cream man’s visit is a daily occurrence at the beach, but one must be quick to catch his truck. Max and Charley were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day, until Mimi’s eyes sparkled and explained that they could rush to find it at its next stop.They walked block after block. My kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went on. After about twenty minutes’ walking, Max spoke out loud, “Maybe we should give up.” Charley responded with a quick “No way! Never give up!” and resumed her singing with Mimi.Just two blocks later, they found it. Max and Charley screamed with excitement, “Never give up!” Simple though it was, that phrase has become our battle cry (口号) for the challenges we face. Upon hearing those words, they are instantly transported to a positive state of mind — where the next ice-cream truck is just around the corner.36．Why were Max and Charley marching barefoot?A．To get some extra exercise on the beach.B．To meet their grandma’s special request.C．To run after the truck for an ice cream.D．To build sand castles and fight the waves.37．How did Mimi demonstrate her positive attitude and resilience after her husband’s death?A．She led a private life and avoided social interactions.B．She focused on finding joy every day despite the tragedy.C．She immediately signed up for tap-dancing classes.D．She started a new career to distract herself from her loss.38．How did Charley react to Max’s disappointment?A．She blamed him for being loud.B．She took the idea and followed suit.C．She turned to Mimi for some advice.D．She opposed him and went on seeking.39．What does the underline word “resumed” mean in paragraph four?A．repeated B．continued C．stopped D．whispered 40．What lesson can we learn from the story?A．Self-trust is the first secret of success.B．Remain positive in times of difficulties.C．Seize a chance in life before it disappears.D．Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.Naming hurricaneNew research from the University of Illinois finds that hurricanes with female names are likely to cause more deaths than those with male names. The study examined over 60 years of hurricanes which hit the US. The results showed there were higher death tolls, on average, when the hurricanes were given a female name. This wasn’t because female-named hurricanes were any more severe; rather that people’s behavior changed.Sharon Shavitt, one of the authors of the report, explained: “In judging the intensity of a storm, people appear to be applying their beliefs about how men and women behave. This makes a female-named hurricane, such as Belle or Candy, seem gentle and less violent.” Peopleunconsciously say to themselves: how could I be killed by a hurricane called Candy? In fact, hurricanes are named arbitrarily, and the names tell you nothing about the severity of the storm.But, if people in the path of the storm are letting its name affect whether they take shelter, what we call it may matter more than we think. Having searched through the records, the researchers returned to the lab to test their finding experimentally. People were given a series of hypothetical storms with male and female names and asked to make judgments about their intensity and the risk they faced. The results showed that people often regarded male-named hurricanes, like Hurricane Christopher or Hurricane Victor as more intense and riskier than the female-named ones, like Hurricane Alexandra and Hurricane Christina. Shavitt continued, “People imagining a ‘female’ hurricane were not as willing to seek shelter. The fixed ideas that underlie (是……的基础) these judgments are subtle and not necessarily hostile toward women - they may involve viewing women as warmer and less aggressive than men.”The fact is that until the late 1970s, hurricanes were always given female names, as they were thought to represent women’s qualities like unpredictability. This practice -and the sexist reasoning behind it -was rightly abandoned in favour of choosing between male and female. Strangely, though, what we’ve learnt is that we’d be better off naming all hurricanes after men to take advantage of people’s fixed views.The researchers estimate that changing a severe hurricane’s name from “Eloise” to “Charles” could potentially cut the death toll by one-third. Perhaps the naming of hurricane is one specific situation where we shouldn’t worry about being sexist, if being a little sexist is going to save lives. 41．Hurricanes with female names are likely to cause more deaths because .A．male named hurricanes are not terribleB．female-named hurricanes are more severeC．people think the female-named hurricanes are not severeD．people prefer to challenge the male-named hurricanes42．The underlined word “arbitrarily” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A．for humor B．on purpose C．by chance D．in turn 43．According to the passage, which name can possibly cut the death toll?A．Eloise.B．Candy.C．Christina.D．Charles.44．Why did hurricane naming conventions change from only female names to both male andfemale names in the late 1970s?A．It was realized that hurricanes should not be gendered.B．People desired to honor both male and female historical figures.C．People recognized the previous naming convention was based on sexist reasoning.D．The number of hurricanes requiring more diverse names to avoid repetition increased. 45．It can be inferred from the passage that .A．future hurricanes will be named after men more oftenB．being sexist in naming hurricanes helps save livesC．sexism in naming hurricanes will be bannedD．rules of naming hurricanes will be changedFor more than two decades, Elon Musk has focused SpaceX, his rocket company, on his lifelong goal of reaching Mars. Over the last year, he has also built up work on what will happen if he gets there.Mr. Musk, has directed SpaceX employees to drill into the design and details of a Martian city, according to five people with knowledge of the efforts and documents viewed by The New York Times. One team is drawing up plans for small dome habitats, including the materials that could be used to build them. Another is working on spacesuits to deal with Mars’s terrible environment, while a medical team is researching whether humans can have children there.These initiatives, which are at their early stage, are a shift toward more concrete planning for life on Mars as Mr. Musk’s timeline has hastened (加速). While he said in 2016 that it would take 40 to 100 years to have a self-sustaining civilization on the planet, Mr. Musk told SpaceX employees in April that he now expects one million people to be living there in about 20 years.Mr. Musk has long tried to defy (违抗) the impossible and has often managed to beat tough odds. But his vision for life on Mars takes his seemingly limitless ambitions to their most extreme — and some might say absurdist — point. No one has ever set foot on the planet. NASA doesn’t expect to land humans on Mars until the 2040s. And if people get there, they will be greeted by icy temperatures, dust storms, and air that is impossible to breathe.Yet Mr. Musk sticks to the idea of creating a civilization on Mars—he once said he plans to die there — that it has pushed nearly every business effort he has made on Earth. His vision for Marsunderlies most of the six companies that he leads or owns, each of which could potentially contribute to a space colony, according to the documents and the people with knowledge of the efforts.The Boring Company, a private tunneling venture founded by Mr. Musk, was started in part to ready equipment to dig under Mars’s surface, two of the people said. Mr. Musk has told people that he bought X, the social media platform, partly to help test how a citizen-led government that rules by consensus (共识) might work on Mars. He has also said that he imagines residents on the planet driving a version of the steel-paneled Cybertrucks made by Tesla, his electric vehicle company.46．What measures are being taken by SpaceX to realize their dream of Mars?A．Designing large spaceships and building hospitals.B．Planning for habitats and designing spacesuits.C．Developing technologies and training medical teams.D．Building space stations and inspiring employees to strive.47．What is Elon Musk’s current timeline for establishing a self-sustaining civilization on Mars?A．40 to 100 years from 2016.B．Within the next 20 years.C．By the 2050s.D．He has not specified a timeline.48．How do some people find Mr. Musk’s vision for Mars?A．Practical and achievable.B．Unreasonable and time-consuming.C．Theoretical and promising.D．Over-ambitious and ridiculous.49．Why did Mr. Musk purchase X social media platform?A．Because he intended to create a company on Mars.B．Because he was interested in promoting social network on Mars.C．Because he wanted to make profits by running it on Mars.D．Because he dreamt of a resident-managed government for Mars.50．What is the passage mainly about?A．Elon Musk’s determination and initiatives to put people on Mars.B．Elon Musk’s efforts to overcome the challenges of exploring Mars.C．Elon Musk’s overall vision for the future development of Mars.D．Elon Musk’s companies on Mars and their contributions.阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AIn 2023, Istanbul attracted more visitors than any other city, and its distinct and varied cuisine was undoubtedly part of the appeal. Here are four of the Istanbul’s best dining choices.Sweetbread kebab at Sadrazam MahmutThis famous restaurant is located in the historic Sütlüce neighbourhood. One of the pleasures of dining here is the warmth of the owner of the restaurant, who can often be found walking from table to table to collect diners’ advice. And the food is also exceptional. Perhaps the best dish is the sweetbread kebab.Dates (椰枣) filled with cheese at Smelt & Co. Gastro SpotAmong the streets of Balat, a simple door marks the entrance of Smelt &. Co. Gastro Spot. The chefs offer a seasonal menu mainly featuring vegetables and seafood, making the most of local products. While dishes rarely repeat, there’s one that seems to make regular appearances on the menu: dates filled with cheese.Turkish breakfast at Privato CafeLocated in the shadow of the historical Galata Tower, this hot spot serves one of the most welcomed Turkish breakfast spreads in the city. Guests are treated to a rich feast, starting with fresh tomatoes, salted olives, cheeses, and jams, many of which are made in house. Then comes the second wave: grilled spicy sausage, kebab and some sweet desserts.Baby calamari (鱿鱼) at Nazende CaddeOne of Istanbul’s best- kept secrets is hidden in a side street. Nazende Cadde has only recently caught the attention of customers. It’s famous for dishes like grilled sweetbreads, but its typical achievement is the melt- in- your- mouth baby calamari. The outside space, warm service and big menu make it especially fit for getting together.21. What’s available in the first restaurant?A. Historical indoor decoration.B. Valuable advice from its owner.C. The best butter in Istanbul.D. The sweetbread kebab.22. What do Sadrazam Mahmut and Privato Cafe have in common?A. They’re located in old neighbourhoods.B. They’re willing to take suggestions.C. They adopt homema de materials.D. They mainly provide seafood.23. Which restaurant is most suitable for family gathering?A. Sadrazam Mahmut.B. Smelt & Co. Gastro Spot.C. Privato Cafe.D. Nazende Cadde.BOn the morning of the big day, Vially Dorestant prepared for her son Corey’s school photo shoot to ensure he felt calm and confident. Little did she know, she needn’t have worried.In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well- prepared.Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.”However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴)—a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard.“At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing.“I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said.Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”.For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said.24. What did Dorestant worry about her son at first?A. He was frightened to meet his new classmates.B. He was embarrassed to pose for a photo.C. He might get lost on his way to school.D. He might be unprepared for the new term.25. What does the underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Shocked.B. Disappointed.C. Grateful.D. Worried.26. What can we know about Dorestant’s video?A. It went unnoticed.B. It made record profits.C. It put Corey in trouble.D. It was well received.27. What did Dorestant advise parents to do?A. Believe their own judgement.B. Serve as an experienced guide.C. Give full play to kids’ potential.D. Teach their children everything.CHave you ever struggled with a task because two arms just weren’t enough? If so, you might like a new device that can lend a helping hand literally (真正地). You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe.Currently, the robotic arm is worn in the middle of your chest, but it can also be placed above your shoulders or at your side, depending on what you want to do with it. Engineer Giulia Dominijanni, part of a team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), helped create the device.In the past, robotic arms were designed to replace lost arms, with brain signals controlling them. This new device allows users to control an extra arm while still using their real arms. For this reason, the team designed it to be controlled by breathing.The robotic arm can sense the movement of your diaphragm (膈膜), the muscle that helps you breathe. When you breathe in, the robotic arm stretches; when you breathe out, it retracts (缩回). Breathing normally keeps the arm still.Before making the actual arm, the EPFL team created a virtual reality (VR) model. V olunteers learned to control this virtual third arm using breath sensors. The tests showed that people could easily look around and talk while using the arm.After successful VR tests, the team built a simple robotic arm that functions like the virtual one. Early tests showed that users could comfortably operate the extra arm alongside their own arms.However, researchers are still exploring how well people can control this robotic arm without affecting the use of their natural arms. Jacob George, a director at the University of Utah’s robotics center, notes, “When you’re adding something new on your body, it’s unclear how much the brain can do with that. But in time it becomes possible to control the new arm well.” And scientists at EPFL believe that understanding this could benefit those with disabilities or people recovering from injuries.28. How do EPFL’s robotic arms differ from previous ones?A. They feature affordable prices.B. They are operated by breathing.C. They can address our health issues.D. They are controlled by brain signals.29. Why did the EPFL team create a VR model?A. To cut its production cost.B. To attract more volunteers.C. To know how brains work.D. To test the newly- invented arm’s actual function.30. What is Jacob’s attitude to the robotic arm?A. Uncaring.B. Doubtful.C. Positive.D. Unclear.31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Robotics Gives Us an Extra ArmB. A New Device Helps ScientistsC. The Secret of Human BrainsD. Tips on How to Use an Extra ArmDThe Europa Clipper spacecraft has reached a key milestone and is on track to launch to explore Jupiter’s moon(木星的卫星), Europa. The launch window for its journey opens on October 10.On Monday, the mission passed Key Decision Point E, which is a critical planning stage that allows the mission to move forward. This news was a relief for the Europa Clipper team, especially after a possible issue with the spacecraft’s transistors (晶体管) discovered in May. These transistors are important for controlling the spacecraft’s electricity and needed to survive Jupiter’s high levels of radiation (辐射).Over the past four months, the team have conducted many tests on the transistors at different NASA facilities. They made sure to finish testing on time to avoid putting off the launch. Europa Clipper will carry ten scientific instruments to help determine if Europa could support life in its salty, subsurface ocean.With the mission approved, there are no changes to the launch plan. “It’s the last sort of big examination before we really get into that launch fever, and we’re really happy to say that they passed that examination today,” said Nicola Fox from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has a powerful magnetic field (磁场) which is 20,000 times stronger than Earth’s. Any spacecraft going there must have radiation- hardened electronics. Jordan Evans, the project manager, noted that Europa is at the edge of a radiation belt, making it a challenging place to explore.Curt Niebur, a program scientist, noted this mission is not about looking for life itself but determining if necessary elements for life, such as water and energy, are present on Europa. If Europa Clipper finds these, it could lead to a follow- up mission to search for life.32. What can be inferred about the spacecraft’s transistors from paragraph 2?A. They put off the launch mission.B. They fell into pieces in space.C. They are in good condition now.D. They had survived on the moon.33. What did Nicola want to say about the result of the mission’s final examination?A. It was satisfying.B. It was subject to change.C. It was wasting time.D. It was out of expectation.34. What is the mission’s key goal centered on?A. Building a habitable planet for human beings.B. Exploring signs of supporting life on Europa.C. Figuring out how much water Europa contains.D. Repairing transistors on the Europa Clipper spacecraft.35. Where is this text most likely from?A. A dairy.B. A newspaper.C. A brochure.D. A guidebook.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
