He created a cheap soap that could potentially help fight skin can cer. His invention won him the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, an annual competition that invites students in grades five through eight to “change their world for the better with a single innovative idea”, on O ctober 10, 2023.At age 4, Heman moved to America from Ethiopia, where he always saw people constantly working under the hot sun. While he considered ideas for the competition, it struck him that so many people in his hometown were unaware of the risk of sun exposure. The recollections fueled his decision to focus his research on skin cancer.“I hoped to make my idea something that not only was great in terms of science but also could be affordable for as many people as possible,” Heman said. As he initiall y thought about his approach, Heman wanted his product to be something as much of a “constant” in people’s life as possible, an item that was most convenient in contrast to other medicinal products.In June 2023, he was selected as a top-ten finalist and paired with 3M product engineering specialist Deborah Isabelle to develop and test a physical prototype (原型) of his idea. It took the pair four months of trial and error to create “Skin Cancer Treating Soap” (SCTS). The bar contains chemicals that restore t he body’s dendritic cells killed by cancer cells. Once reconstructed, dendritic cells, the body’s first line of defense against cancer and infections, are capable of fighting against cancer cells. SCTS, which costs just 50 cents a bar, still has to undergo clinical trials. The process could take over five years.Heman’s plan for the soap stretches far beyond the winning. He has a five-year plan, which includes seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration. He also hopes to start a nonprofit todist ribute the soap in the future. “There is still a lot left to do,” the 14-year-old teenager said.4. What inspired Heman’s idea for the invention?A．Folk tales. B．Childhood memories.C．Working experiences. D．Medical observations.5. In which aspect did Heman want his product to differ from other treatments?A．Accessibility. B．Function. C．Security. D．Effectiveness. 6. How does SCTS work?A．It minimizes solar radiation. B．It kills cancer cells directly.C．It reactivates destroyed cells. D．It removes viruses from the skin.7. Which of the following best describes Heman according to the last paragraph?A．Industrious and sociable. B．Ambitious and caring.C．Intelligent and competitive. D．Sensitive and conservative.Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landscapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them.Trail of the Lost was her answer.It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey.The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search.Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations.The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT.Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek.8. What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost?A．Her love for her prior career.B．Her strong attachment to the PCT.C．The stress from the missing families.D．Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance.9. What is presented on the second level of the book?A．Efforts by different people in searches.B．A string of wilderness survival tips.C．Approaches to information classification.D．Respective stories of the three hikers.10. What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventures?A．To promote her book.B．To make her a celebrity.C．To motivate hikers to challenge themselves.D．To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT.11. What can we say about the book?A．It targets single youth.B．It’s a romantic novel.C．It’s based on actual events.D．It’s a detailed account of a journey.Do you have a favorite sport? Are you passionate about sewing or reading? Typically, you engage in these activities simply because you enjoy them. Would you be taken aback to know the overjustification effect that when you are rewarded for your beloved activities, your desire to participate in them diminishes?Edward Deci, a psychology professor, conducted a series of experiments, in one of which Deci divided the participants into two groups: one was paid to complete a puzzle, and the other was not paid to. After money was removed, the group that was previously paid to play showed less motivation to complete the task than the group that was never paid and only did the puzzle for enjoyment. The outcome demonstrated the overjustification effect, which occurs when an external stimulation decreases a person’s i nternal motivation to perform a behavior or engage in an activity. According to the self-determination theory, three conditions are essential for people to feel internally motivated and perform at their best: autonomy, freedom from external restrictions; competence, the need to feel capable, and relatedness, the need to feel connected with others. In Deci’s experiment,money acted as a tie, which reduced participants’ autonomy, a crucial component of internal motivation, discouraging them from experiencing the freedom of external restrictions. The pressure to perform for the money lessened the pleasure and freedom felt by those who were doing the puzzle merely for fun.But if external stimulation is tied to performance, the overjustification effect is less influential. For example, being rewarded for studying is unlikely to decrease internal motivation because the grade depends upon actually doing well rather than just going through the motions.While the overjustification effect can reduce motivation, some strategies can lower its impact. One is to focus on providing feedback and recognition rather than concrete rewards. For instance, praising an individual’s effort or acknowledging their accomplishments can maintain their internal motivation. Additionally, allowing individuals to have autonomy and control over their tasks also works. By giving them the freedom to choose how they complete tasks, individuals are more likely to be internally motivated and experience a greater sense of satisfaction and engagement.12. What does the underlined word “diminishes” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Remains. B．Weakens. C．Ceases. D．Solidifies.13. How did Deci prove the overjustification effect in the experiment?A．By interpreting a concept.B．By presenting an argument.C．By making a comparison.D．By describing a phenomenon.14. What is mainly illustrated in paragraph 3?A．The skills needed for a puzzle.B．The core elements of inner drives.C．The impact of autonomy on competence.D．The theoretical basis for the overjustification effect.15. Which serves as an example of preventing the overjustification effect?A．Speaking highly of a pupil’s hard work.B．Rewarding a kid with candy for playing the violin.C．Offering a clerk financial bonuses for daily routines.D．Promising an employee a decent position for doing his duty.Culture shock is the experience that often accompanies moving to an unfamiliar place. It could be marked by feeling lost, anxious or hesitant. 16 You’ll become accustomed to the same things that initially “shocked” you! Read on for tips for overcoming culture shock in a short time.When deciding to visit an entirely new place, don’t expect the traditions and cultures followed by your current home to be followed by the new land. 17 So keep your expectations low.Even though it is an unfamiliar environment hosting different cultures and traditions from the one you’re used to, it’s vital to broaden your mind and be willing to try new things. Don’t be quick to form discriminatory judgments just because it is “odd”. Have a go at something different, like a food or clothing —different isn’t necessarily bad. 18Social psychologists claim that lack of information is the biggest contributor to prejudices. Talk to the local population and ask them about how their culture works instead of assuming the worst. 19 Plus, you’ll make some friends who can ease your transformation.Keep yourself open-minded, await new experiences and familiarize yourself with the conduct of the people. 20 Go out there and have fun!Leigh Ann Sondrup, a devoted nurse at Valleywise, earned the title of a hero after a remarkable off-duty rescue.The extraordinary chain of events unfolded as Sondrup was heading home from _________ one morning.

It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside.I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September.For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I marveled at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom.Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. Sh e asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids.I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3.More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen intently because I know I still have more to learn from her.Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’hearts.41．What is the best title of the passage?A. A small brick house.B. Unexpected friendship.C. A kindergarten teacher.D.

The Swedish furniture company’s “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.AI is now walking into more aspect s of people’s daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets (插座) to smar t smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Thou gh Ikea’s the new survey doesn’t directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human-like form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popularchoice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ike a’s survey online.46．The survey carried out by Ikea aims to ________.A. know peoples need for smart furnitureB. understand future lifestyleC. promote the company’s smart furnitureD. answer people’s questions47．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Beautiful.B. Common.C. Normal.D. Environmental.48．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The differences between robot-like and human-like assistants.B. What form of AI assistants people want.C. What kind of friends people want.D. The popular robots on the market.49．Most participants in the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.A. help them become smarterB. communicate with them without troublesC. have its own worldviewD. deal with their problems in advance50．Which of the following products are from Ikea?A. Smart sofas that can speak to you.B. Smart beds that can track your daily movements.C. Wireless charging car.D. Rustless bikes without chains.For generations, we’ve spent the first third of o ur lives acquiring the college degrees weneed to find jobs. These degrees are the stamps on our professional passports that pave the way for the remaining two-thirds of our journey. However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees, it’ll be abou t job skills.According to the World Economic Forum, over one billion jobs, almost one-third of all jobs worldwide, are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. We’ve already seen this happen. Think of the apps you use to shop, track orders and simply stay informed. The stores need to keep them up and running at all hours, day after day, all year round, meaning they need those who can analyze and secure customer data.In these and other similar situations, people are the organizing force making sure technology works the way we want it to. This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs. According to the Forum’s Jobs of Tomorrow report, there’ll be a rapid influx of roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy, as well as new roles in engineering, cloud computing and product development. These jobs need talent with relevant skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.Shifting our focus from degrees to skills will mean transitioning (过渡) to always-on skills-based education and employment organizations that acknowledge not just certification but fitness-for-job and employment as outcomes. In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the workforce — the trend will become stronger.When it comes to skills, employers look for more than just technical skills. Companies want people with an eye for detail, creative problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset and an ability to handle complex issues. These also are skills that can be learnt. Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills will be in greater demand in the workplace. 51．What is the function of Paragraph 1?A. To propose a definition.B. To present an argument.C. To give an example.D. To make a comparison.52．How does technology influence the jobs?A. It calls for higher demands for degrees.B. It makes many jobs less challenging.C. It reduces their dependence on degrees.D. It connects them with degrees closely.53．What does the underlined word “influx” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Increase.B. Recovery.C. Decline.D. Change.54．What will future employers value most concerning their staff?A. Their traditional technical skills.B. Their continuous learning abilities.C. Their certification-based education.D. Their desire to start their own business.55．What might be the best title for the text?A. Skills Are Different From DegreesB. Degrees Will Be More CompetitiveC. Degrees Will Shape the Future of WorkD. Skills Are More Vital for Future WorkAesha Ash spent most of her life ballet dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her obligation heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company.After retiring from ballet in 2007. Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for about ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet. Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”).Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived, she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet.On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Muc h to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said. “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.”Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet.56．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat.

Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs.

Back in 2008, I was teaching Concepts of Fitness in a high school. At the end of one class, I chatted with David Gale, a senior high jumper, about how to improve his 1 and how motivation played an important role in one's achievement. He, out of the blue, asked me what would happen if he broke the school record.Not 2 of his passion and determination, I paused for a moment, but then promised that I would paint his name on the wall of our classroom. He was very excited and suggested that I go purchase the paint.Nothing more was mentioned about the 3 until two weeks later, the young warrior ran into the classroom with a huge smile on his face. "I did it! I broke the record!" he shouted as I was still gathering information to 4 what I had promised him. I joined in with the high-fives and fist bumps 5 him.The next day, it was done! G-A-L-E. Huge blue letters with white edges, the school colors. I could see his excitement even surpassed the success itself. Actually, his coach said the wall was part of the 6 to break the record.What happened next was totally amazing. Many students, even from other classes, saw the name on the wall and 7 how they, too, could be considered for the wall. With the enormous 8 , I had to add more names to the wall, and more than 100 names appeared there in the following 10 years.Many folks admitted they would not have 9 what they did if the wall hadn't been part of the reward.

Duchess Nina launched a campaign to save as many animals as possible, and soon became known as the “animal heroine” for her effort s.Duchess Nina worked with local farmers and animal owners to relocate animals to safer areas, such as the Scottish Highlands. She also established a network of volunteers who helped to care for animals during the war. She organized feeding programs, medical care and transportation, ensuring that animals were well looked after even during the most difficult times. The most challenging aspect of her work was the shortage of food during the war. So she established a vegetable garden and used leftovers to create nutritious meals for animals. She also reached out to the public for donations of food and supplies, and was able to secure enough resources to keep animals healthy and fed.In addition to her work with domestic animals, Duchess Nina was also a strong advocate for wildlife conservation. She established a center for wild animals in Scotland, where she provided a safe place for deer, foxes and other animals that were threatened by the war. She also worked with local protection groups to protect natural habitats.Duchess Nina’s work during World War Ⅱwas not without its risks. She frequentlySadly, some people saw her efforts as a distraction from the war effort. However, she contin ued to work tirelessly for animals. After the war, Duchess Nina’s work was recognized by the government and she got an important award for her services to animals.4．How did Duchess Nina probably feel when she heard the government’s orders?A. Worried.B. Calm.C. Excited.D. Encouraged.5．What was the biggest problem that Duchess Nina faced?A. Nobody gave her any donations.B. She couldn’t find enough volunteers.C.

Dangerous.C. Faraway.D. Poor.Underwater travel is difficult and dangerous, but many people have to stay deep under the ocean. Thus, humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel?Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a manta ray (魔鬼鱼) would be able to operate for long periods at sea. Manta rays which can grow up to 29 feet long are among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water, manta rays swim by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins (鳍) . Efficiency means using less energy to move farther.Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took X-rays to find out how a manta ray's fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage (软骨) stretches across each fin.Once the engineers knew how a manta ray's fin was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the manta ray's web of cartilage. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray's fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a manta ray in the ocean.Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. For now, engineers study their movements and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build manta ray robots that are big enough to transport people.8．How do manta rays swim?A.By moving like birds.B.By swimming like humans.C.By swimming like other fishes.D.By pushing against water like animals. 9．What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs?A.Manta rays look like travel vehicles.B.Manta rays are the fastest swimmers.C.Manta rays can grow at least 29 feet long.D.Manta rays'fins consist of a web of cartilage.10．Why do the engineers study manta rays?A.To learn about their habits.B.To control manta ray robots.C.To protect marine creatures.D.To design undersea vehicles.11．What's the author's attitude towards the research?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.The most obvious dog fetish (迷恋) today is the longing for cuteness. Almost every day you can see adorable pictures of dogs and other animals that will make you smile and say, "How cute! "It is a cultural phenomenon that the media scholar James Meese calls the "cute economy' which exists primarily on social media, is user-generated, and is heavily dominated by pictures of animals, especially pets. The goal is to generate a positive response, probably followed by a tap on the screen to “like” and “share”. We can click through image after image of cute animals doing cute things, feeling a little boost of good cheer.The marketing researchers have identified some of the most common categories of cuteness in online pet content: animals doing silly things；animals of extreme size；animals with unusual looks；and animals behaving in ways that seem human-like. Dogs and other animals in the "cute economy" are often further humanized by being dressed in clothing and accessorized (装饰) with hats, jewellery, nail polish and fur dyed a rainbow of colors. Users who post successfully and with some strategies can make money by doing so. Thus, certain dogs have become cuteness celebrities, with millions of devoted followers and paid content from advertisers.Unfortunately, the price of the "cute economy" comes at a serious cost. The cutest and most popular breeds tend to be those with the most significant risk of health and behavioral problems. Cuteness is often coupled with their discomfort. People are drawn to the cuteness of dogs with extremely foreshortened skulls and extremely short legs and awkwardly long bodies, such as the French bulldog and the corgi.Actually, there are well-established health issues. We should treat the "cute economy' with caution, like resisting the commodification (商品化) of appearance by opting out of social media channels promoting the "cute economy". We can also choose not to "like" or"share" images of dogs whose cuteness is linked with discomfort. Although we are biologically attracted to dogs that are super cute, we should be mindful in our "impulses". 12．What is the key to the "cute economy" according to the text?A.Cute animals' attractive appearance.B.Taking pictures of different animals.C.Pet owners' liking adorable pictures.D.Posting cute animals' pictures on social media.13．Which kind of cuteness is most likely to be the online pet content?A.A normal-sized dog is eating bones.B.A white cat is quietly lying next to its owner.C.A monkey is attentively taking care of its baby.D.A parrot dressed in a suit is singing and dancing.14．What is the side effect of the "cute economy"?A.It will change the animals' nature.B.It may make the animals not so cute.C.It may cause health problems to the animals.D.It will result in a decline in animal population.15．What may be the best title for the text?A.Marketing Strategy-CutenessB.The Cute Economy and Its PriceC.Happiness from PetsD.Share Pictures or Not二、七选五16．Anyone experiences a failure occasionally. But how do you deal with it when it occurs? Blaming yourself makes no sense. Faced with a failure, try to find proper ways, which is the key to success.①______If you can't realize what the problem is and don't process failures clearly, you'll find yourself unable to sail along elegantly like a boat through the water ahead. So it is of great importance to spare some time to analyse the relevant causes of the failures.Practise self-acceptance and self-compassion (自我同情) . ②______ Self-acceptance does not mean believing that you are perfect. It means accepting yourself for who you really are. Self-compassion does not mean giving up on growth and self-improvement, but it means showing kindness to yourself. Practise them, decide what to do differently next time and move on.Reframe positively. Positive reframing requires viewing things in a new way that allows youto recognize and appreciate positive aspects of your situation. ③______ As a result, failures can be transformed into challenges and new possibilities to experience life more fully.Laugh it off. Laughing at yourself about a mistake you made is a great gift, which requires a shared understanding of humanity. The point is that once you can laugh at a failure, it is no longer terminal. Instead, you are ready to go ahead. ④______Of course, failures are actually not fun. ⑤______ Finally, you'll make fewer mistakes, experience fewer failures and naturally develop yourself into the being you are destined to become.A.Understand what has gone wrong.B.Save every minute to avoid failures.C.They are the basics of moving on from failures.D.If you can laugh it off, then you can forgive yourself.e the above ways, learn from failures and move forward.F.Similarly, if you can laugh at yourself, others will laugh at you.G.It helps you take advantage of opportunities rather than avoid problems.三、完形填空（15空）Fiona liked to sing at home.

It has no advertisement.C. It can be used without Internet.D It offers members extra resources.BWhen most kids go to the beach they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter, but several years ago, for 7-year-old Cash Daniels, noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet.Cash, who is now known as the “conservation kid”, has always loved nature. He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.C It updated the food -delivery device regularly..D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.13. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.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。

Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5, 500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. "Who knows?" he said. "Maybe one day, one of them will come. back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.24. What is Jules's Undersea Lodge special for?A. Its convenience.B. Its reputation.C. Its locationD. Its luxuriousness.25. Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel?A. To treat his brain injuries.B. To live longer and healthier.C. To deal with medical problems.D. To test one of his academic ideas.26. Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri's undersea life?A. He kept a daily routine almost as usual.B. He was busy with medical experiments.C. He led a dull life separated from the others.D. He set a world record of living 73 days underwater.27. What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do?A. Communicate more with him.B. Explore the unknown bravely.C. Study the information of the project.D. Meet at the conference in Scotland.CEach year, more than 27 million. U. S. and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel （柴油） fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why? Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.A U. S. government program started in 2012 offered schools' money spent on cleaner school buses but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10, 000 students, about six more students attended 'school each day' in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses? They had an average of 45 more students in school each day.Those numbers may sound small, but 'they add up. And school attendance matters for student achievement. Almost 3 million U. S. kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If U. S. school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1. 3 million fewer student absences each year.There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced "network connectivity" in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in schools without bus upgrades.Almost all U. S. school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income areas, in tribal areas and, in rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face. the most health risks from older buses.28. What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph?A. They have a short service life.B. They operate cost-effectively.C. They accommodate few passengers.D. They do much harm to school children.29. Why is the increase in school attendance small but important?A. It is a long accumulation.B. It is a winning condition.C. It is a measuring standard.D. It is a student achievement.30. How does the bus replacement bring better student attendance?A. By reducing the network connectivity.B. By bettering the health state of students.C. By improving student satisfaction with schools.D. By meeting students' demand for school bus drivers.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The "network connectivity" in the brain.B. The great work on cleaner school buses.C. A U. S. government program for education.D: Better attendance due to new school buses.DFirst-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories. In the rest years, it's usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus.But some schools don't provide an option and require four years of on-campus living for full-time students. Living on campus has been shown to increase retention（保留） and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students, according to a 2021 report. There are exceptions, however. At some colleges, students may be freed from the requirement if they are, for instance, commuters （通勤生）, fifth-year seniors, at least 23 years of age or legally married.Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms. Alternatives include flats, apartments, Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with shared interests. On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as residence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises. When students live in a community, they are forced to live with different people, learn more about themselves and about the others, and tell each other their stories.On the other hand, off-campus living provides students with more independence, as they are not constrained by school housing policies. Off-campus students gain more real-world experience in areas like paying their own bills, finding renter's insurance, cooking their own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts. If students are choosing to live off campus, they should really think it through and talk to someone that lived. off campus. Do their homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision. Make sure, too, that they are choosing people that they can live with.At first glance, off-campus housing can appear less expensive. But the additional expenses outside of rent---like utilities, groceries, Internet access, cable and furniture---are often overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs, some students choose to overpack houses or apartments, sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house. Unlike off-campus housing, the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive, coveting rent, utilities, furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan.32. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus?A. To keep them stay longer on campus for classes.B. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms.C. To make as much profit as possible for the colleges.D. To monitor all of their students as easily as possible.33. What should students do before living off campus?A. They should find someone to take care of them.B. They should fully develop the ability to live alone.C. They should learn all aspects of off-campus living.D. They should seek accommodation through an agent.34. What does the underlined word "overpack" in the last paragraph mean?A. Overlook.B. Overconsume.C. Overestimate.D. Overload.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Residential Housing At Different CollegesB. Choice Between Housing On Or Off CampusC. Accommodation Situation For College StudentsD. Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus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。
