We wanted to lead an environmental-friendly life.None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1, 000 people. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling (改造) and stayed in our motor home. We were faced with real challenges at the time, which just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid (电线). I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. We started taking quicker showers, turning off the water whil e brushing our teeth. What’s more, we are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling, growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would normally throw.Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.4、What caused the family move to a remote town?A. The financial trouble.B. The popular trend.C. The desire of a green life.D. A discounted property.5、What’s the author’s first reaction to the property with no electricity?A. Satisfied.B. Astonished.C. Relieved.D. Disappointed.6、What have the kids acquired from the new lifestyle?A. The awareness of saving.B. The pleasure of a modern life.C. The skills of classifying trash.D. The techniques of cooking vegetables.7、What can be inferred from the text?A. Leading an eco-friendly life is urgent.B. A family has managed to live a simple life.C. A green lifestyle has sprung up nationwide.D. Getting off the grid made no difference to people.It wasn’t until 1985 that an exploration led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel discovered the Titanic’s final resting place. Shortly after, Ballard urg ed the U. S. Congress to declare the ruins to be a memorial. In July 1986, Ballard placed a plaque (牌匾) on the ship, asking that the site be left undisturbed in memory of the more than 1, 500 people who died there.But that didn’t happen. More than a century after the ship’s sinking, interest in the Titanicpermanent collections around the world dedicated to the ruins, those able to pay for a ticket desire to see it for themselves.The first official salvage (打捞) effort was undertaken by the Titanic Ventures Limited Partnership (TVLP) and L’Institut Francais de Recherche pour 1’Exploitation de la Mer in 1987, when around 1, 800 items of treasure were collected and conserved. In 1992, a federal court ruled TVLP was the first and exclusive salvager of the Titanic— though in following decades, the company pushed for more. The company has conducted eight explorations to the Titanic while giving rise to a small but pricey tourism market. Researchers, salvagers, and even filmmakers like James Cameron, who directed the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic, have made countless trips to the wreck. And for a pretty penny, tourists have been able to go too.The Titanic was damaged significantly upon impact with the seabed, and slowly, iron-eating bacteria is consuming what remains. Less than a decade after it was found, rapid worsening was being noticed. In 2019, a dive confirmed huge portions of the ship were collapsing.Today the surrounding site is littered with trash, including beer and soda bottles, chains, and cargo nets from salvage efforts. Visitors have also littered the area with plaques and memorials. In 2001, a couple was even married in a submers ible resting on the Titanic’s bow.8、What was Ballard’s purpose of planting a plaque on the Titanic?A. To protect the sunk wreck.B. To build a marine memorial.C. To honor his dead teammates.D. To prepare for next discovery.9、What does the underlined w ord “insatiable” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Easily satisfied.B. On the decline.C. Growing steadily.D. Under criticism.10、What is the feature of the journey to the Titanic?A. It is mostly for treasure.B. It is money-consuming.C. It is filmmaker-targeted.D. It is accessible to most people.11、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Salvage efforts are in vain.B. The ship is loaded with trash.C. Visitors do damage to the ship.D. Underwater wedding enjoys popularity.Stroke is the most important cause of disability for adults in the EU, which affects about 1. 1 million people each year. After a stroke, patients commonly need recovery to relearn to walk, talk, or perform daily tasks. Research has shown that music treatment can help stroke patients to recover language and motor function.But for people who suffered a stroke, playing music may itself be a skill that needs to be relearned. Now, a study has shown novel soft robotics can help recovering patients to relearn playing music and other skills that require flexibility and coordination (协调).Dr Maohua Lin, a professor at Florida Atlantic University and colleagues designed and tested a “smart hand exoskeleton (外骨骼) ” in the shape of a multi-layered, flexible 3D-printed robo-glove, which weighs only 191g. The entire palm and wrist area of the glove are designed to be soft and flexible, and the shape of the glove can be custom-made to fit each wearer’s hand.“While wearing the glove, human users have control over the movement of each finger to a significant extent,” said senior author Dr Erik Engeberg. “The glove is designed to assist and enhance their natural hand movements, allowing their fingers to bend and stretch freely.”At the same time, the authors used machine learning to successfully teach the glove to “feel” the difference between playing a correct and incorrect versions of a beginner’s song on the piano. The glove can give feedback to the wearer either by touching, looking or listening. These would enable her or him to understand their performance and make improvements.“But several challenges in this field need to be overcome. These include improving the accuracy and reliability of tactile sensing, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the exoskeleton design, and improving the machine learning algorithms to better interpret and respond to user input,” added Lin.12、What is the smart hand exoskeleton?A. A flexible robo-glove.B. A light 3D-printed palm.C. A multi-layered hand supporter.D. A smart monitor worn round wrist.13、What does Erik Engeberg stress about the exoskeleton?A. Its simplicity of wearing.B. Its flexibility and softness.C. Its assistance to patients’ fingers.D. Its significant application ranges.14、Why does the exoskeleton offer feedback to stroke patients?A. To get charged in time.B. To regulate wearing period.C. To control hand movements.D. To better musical performance.15、What does Lin think of the design?A. It is hitting a bottleneck.B. It is far from satisfactory.C. It is a challenge to human hands.D. It is well-received in the market.二、七选五16、The Hero’s JourneyHave you ever thought of yourself as the main character of a heroic adventure? It could be good for your health. Research suggests that imagining yourself on a hero’s journey could help you achieve a more meaningful life. How can you start imagining your l ife as a hero’s journey? ①_______Keep a journal.Ask yourself: What makes you you? Describe your personality and core values.

His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same.It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize.He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.”Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign - a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I w ould spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used h is winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021.But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The resul t? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says.In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.”4. What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2?A.Have a try. B.Give a hand.C.Get a big head. D.Have second thoughts.5. What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign?A.His great passion for racing.B.His unused toys all over the place.C.Family education from his childhood.D.Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital.6. Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion?A.Creative and childish. B.Kind and straightforward.C.Easy-going and sympathetic. D.Generous and enterprising.7. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph of the passage?A.How the studies affect academic performance.B.The final outcome of Orion’s toy-gathering event.C.Orion’s future career planning after his graduation.D.The achievement of the Race to 500, 000 Books campaign.When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins.Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make.Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby.This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies’ attention. “It’s important for a baby to know,’ Oh, Mum’s talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understan d how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.”8. What do the underlined words “this mystery ”refer to in paragraph 2?A.Why dolphins live and play in groups.B.How dolphins develop their unique sounds.C.What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess.D.Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans.9. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins?A.By analyzing mother dolphins’ sound features.B.By recording parent-child interaction frequency.C.By measuring the distance between parent and child.D.By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins.10. What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young?A.To help them learn to talk. B.To teach them hunting skills.C.To express worry and care. D.To distract their attention.11. What is the purpose of the text?A.To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins.B.To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence.C.To share new findings about dolphin communication.D.To highlight the value of studying dolph ins’ language.If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking. “Something smells fishy.”In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely— compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand.Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential money gain reduced part icipants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds.If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self- interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom (幻影) costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch.The researchers also showed how to make the effect less severe: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”12. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie?A.They dislike a money- related offer. B.They distrust the true value of the offer.C.They think the offer is not good enough. D.They suspect the offer only lasts a shorttime.13. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4?A.The moral concerns. B.The research method.C.The experiments’ duration.D.The participants’ background.14. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment in the last paragraph?A.To stress the unpredictability of human choices.B.To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices.C.To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples.D.To show giving sensible reasons can increase acceptance of offers.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Are you worried about “phantom costs”?B.Are you fearful of violating socialnorms?C.Why do you accept other’s generosity?D.What is an offer’s “psychologicalvalue”?Many people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. 16 . It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?Don’t be afraid to be confused.We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 17 . Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.Research, research, research.18 . Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.19 .This step is self- explanatory (不释自明的). While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning chance.
