Created in 2022, the cafe was a response to the need in the community for programs that would enable youth with special needs to develop social and professional skills in a safe environment.The cafe was the idea of Pennsylvania mom Maureen Stanko, a teacher, fitness instructor, and musician, who was concerned about her son Nick, who has autism (孤独症) and food allergies, and what he would be able to do after graduation. In Pennsylvania, students with disabilities can stay in school until age 22, but worrying about Nick’s future is what keeps Stanko up at night.Stanko was so worried that she spoke to Nick’s therapist, Tyler Kammerle, who had dreamed about opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. The two worked together to make this a reality. Two years later, the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe was born. It employed 63 people and 80 percent of them have some form of disability.The cafe is more than just a space to work; it’s also a place for people with disabilities and their families to dine. “We’d never even taken Nick to a restaurant before because we wouldn’t spend all this money to eat out to be completely stressed out,” Stanko said. “This cafe has taught Nick how to sit in a restaurant. And now we have a place to go, where if he stands up and starts hopping or clapping, nobody cares.”The inclusive cafe has made a real difference in people’s lives. One of the staff, Lauren Oppelts, who is hearing impaired, said, “If you told me two years ago that I would be a server, I wouldn’t believe you. But now I have gained so much self-confidence. A lot of employees here have changed so much; it’s just mind-blowing.”4．Why did Stanko and Tyler Kammerle establish the cafe?A．To serve people with various abilities.B．To provide a place for family occasions.C．To instruct graduates in professional skills.D．To offer employment to youth with special needs.5．What was Stanko’s concern about taking Nick to a restaurant?A．The cost of dining out.B．The noisy customers in restaurants.C．The lack of an inclusive environment.D．The food allergies Nick is suffering from.6．How has working at the cafe affected Lauren Oppelts?A．She has taken to socializing.B．She has grown more positive.C．She has become experienced in cooking.D．She has recovered from her hearing disability.7．Which of the following best describes Stanko?A．Caring and responsible.B．Ambitious and devoted.C．Determined and sensitive.D．Tough and reliable.An artificial intelligence (AI) tool of street view could be used to predict the risk of coronary heart disease — a condition where the heart’s arteries (动脉) are blocked, limiting blood flow to the heart by analysing neighbourhood environments, according to research.A study, published in the European Heart Journal, monitored everyday surroundings, including the quality of roads, buildings, and green spaces, and the role they play in determining heart health. Researchers were able to track the link between these environmental elements, including the presence or absence of pollution, and the risk of coronary heart disease. They found that these neighbourhood characteristics could account for 63% of the differences in heart disease risk from one community to another.The discovery stems from analysing more than half a million AI street view images across US cities, using computer vision to identify and interpret details that might go unnoticed by the human eye. The data provides urban planners and public health officials with information to design healthier living spaces and neighbourhoods.“Undoubtedly, there is a vast amount of social, economic and environmental data set,” said one of the study's authors, Prof Sanjay Rajagopalan. “However, there still remain significant gap s in our knowledge regarding unique environmental aspects of data that are currently beyond human comprehension. This is where the use of computer vision approaches may enable uniqueunderstanding of the physical and built environment.”By employing AI, researchers have been able to examine the details of neighbourhoods’ environment. The study employed computer vision technology, including applications used in medical imaging and autonomous driving, to identify details and then interpret them to make predictions or decisions.“We are getting to a place in human civilization where traditional approaches that have been used are rather limited and the use of AI to enhance human understanding is going to be critically important at solving complex problems,” Prof Rajagopalan said.8．What is the finding of the study?A．How people can prevent heart diseases.B．How environments affect heart health.C．How AI can reduce heart disease risks.D．How the heart's arteries are blocked. 9．What can the finding of the study help to do?A．Promote computer technology.B．Reduce air and water pollution.C．Design green neighbourhoods.D．Advertise for an AI company.10．Why was computer vision used in the study?A．The researchers had no environmental data.B．It had solved some environmentalproblems.C．People ignored the environment they live in.D．It helped people understand theenvironment.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．The development of AI for hospitals B．The medical use of a street view toolC．The insight into healthy neighbourhoods D．The link between the heart and environmentForests have been embraced as a natural climate solution, due to their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But a new study confirms widespread doubts about the potential for most forests in the Western US to help control climate change.Published in Earth’s Future, the paper analyzed trends in carbon storage across the American West from 2005 to 2019. Led by Jazlynn Hall, a forest and landscape ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, the team found that throughout most of the region, climate changeand fires may be causing forests to store less carbon, not more.“There’s a growing trend to use forests as natural climate solutions,” said Hall. “Many climate mitigation (减轻) pathways rely in part on additional forest carbon storage to keep warming below 1.5℃ this century. We wanted to provide a baseline for how much carbon is currently stored in Western forests, how it’s changing, and how disturbances like fire and drought pose a threat to climate mitigation targets.”The authors warn that many Western forests could see a rapid acceleration of carbon loss in the coming years or decades. “These challenges have the potential to compromise carbon storage capacity and weaken our ability to mitigate climate change, Hah cautions.By providing a fire-new view of threats at landscape and regional levels, Hall and colleagues provide a framework (框架) that could help forest managers adapt site-specific strategies to strengthen forest resilience (复原力). They also identify the remaining areas with the lowest risk and highest potential to store carbon, such as the Pacific Northwest.“Our study develops new methods to carefully estimate forest-carbon storage at a regional level, track it over time, and find out the causes of changes over time,” said Hall. He expects the methods will be useful in monitoring carbon storage levels going forward, as well as assessing the carbon impacts of management efforts such as forest thinning and planned burning.12．What does the underlined phrase “soak up” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Put down.B．Take in.C．Bring up.D．Give out. 13．Why was the study conducted?A．To find the best forests for carbon storage.B．To promote forests’ carbon storage capacity.C．To assess the current situation of forests.D．To measure the carbon released into forests. 14．What can we say about the future trend of Western forests?A．Carbon loss will speed up.B．They will become more resilient.C．They will store more carbon.D．They will have no impact on climate. 15．What is the primary function of Hall’s framework for forest management?A．Predicting future forest growth rates.B．Identifying high- risk areas for protection.C．Mapping all the forests in the Western US.D．Helping managers adapt strategies to forests.I am often struck by the thought that there is this huge life enhancing potential available to everyone on the planet that maybe we don’t always take great advantage of. 16 Through it, we help ourselves and others by sharing the things we have learned.17 I have been teaching and preaching from the time when it occurred to me that I had some really great stuff to share. But, strangely, it took me a long time to really identify what it was that I was doing, at least enough to put it into words.So, I’d like to share with you my thoughts on why teaching and sharing your knowledge can be so important to you as well as to the people around you. 18 See whether it profoundly enhanced so many parts of your life, even in the areas you’re already super successful in.Here is what makes teaching so great for the person doing the teaching. Any goal, habit, human quality, or desire that you start preaching, teaching, or pontificating about will automatically, and almost without effort, push you to do more of it yourself. 19 It pushes you to do what you are encouraging and teaching others to do. I am totally convinced this will, and does, work that way for everyone.What knowledge do you have, or have you learned that you want to be reminded and pushed to improve in your life? If you want to do better at it, there will be plenty of others that will want to do better at it too. 20A．It’s our ability to teach other people.B．We just need to talk and teach others about it.C．Doing this has been changing and helping my life for years now.D．Please, think deeply about this and then put it into practice in any way you can.E．Be sure to write down your goals and objectives as well so you can stay on track.F．The knowledge you share, whether spoken or written, is like a truth drug for the mind. G．So, why not teach and share what you know and help yourself do better and better at these things?二、完形填空Five years ago, Anna Lee, a cultural worker from Washington, D．C．, bought a vase for $3.99 at a thrifty shop.

Grammar and vocabularySection ADocumentary Shares Moving Story of POWs’ RescueAs the documentary The Sinking of Lisbon Mar u ended in the British Film Institute’s Southbank theater in London, England on Tuesday, long- lasting applause erupted, and tears welled up in the eyes of many in the audience.The Lisbon Maru was 21 armed Japanese cargo ship that participated in World WarII, and thedocumentary told the lesser- known story of hardship, horror, tragedy, and courage 22 surrounded its sinking while transporting more than 1,800 British prisoners of war, or POWs, from Hong Kong toward Japan.The sinking by a US submarine happened 23 the vessel did not bear a sign indicating it was carrying POWs, who were battened(封住底舱)down below deck at the time and who were left to drown by the Japanese soldiers on the ship.When the Lisbon Mar u went down off the coast of East China’s Zhejiang province on Oct 2, 1942, local Chinese fishermen 24 ( spring) into action, pulling 384 POWs from the water. 25 800 went down with the ship.Fang Li, 26 produced the documentary, said:“ It’s an untold history. We see the bravery of our Chinese fishermen. We hear heart- breaking stories of individual British families, one after another. And we are angered by Japan’s attempt 27 ( cover) up the brutal crime.”Wearing a T- shirt with the coordinates(坐标) 122°45’31.14”E, 30°13’44.42”N, which are those of the 28 (sink) Lisbon Maru, Fang said he first heard about the incident from a ferry captain while shooting another film in 2013. Moved by the story, Fang surveyed the area in2016 and, 29 sonar detectors installed on drones, located the wreck.In the following years, he and his team contacted more than 380 relatives of the POWs and interviewed 120 of them, 30 ( include) the only two British survivors still alive at the time.“While I was doing this, I was totally touched by those young boys, the age of my son. So many of them lost their lives there,” he told the BBC in 2018 after posting adverts in British newspapers seeking descendants of the POWs.Section BA. quicklyB. analyzeC. programmedD. adoptionE. drawbacksF. runG. dramatic H. transform I. distracted J. peacefully K. prospectImagine an urban neighborhood where most of the cars are self- driving. What would it be like to be a pedestrian?Actually, pretty good. In fact, pedestrians might end up with the 31 of the place.In a new study published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Millard- Ball looks at the 32 of urban areas where a majority of vehicles are“ autonomous” or self- driving. It’s a phenomenon that’s not as far off as one might think.“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to 33 travel behavior,” Millard- Ball says. He uses game theory to 34 the interaction between pedestrians and self- driving vehicles, with a focus on yielding(让行)at crosswalks.Because autonomous vehicles are designed to avoid risks, Millard- Ball’s model thinks autonomous vehicles may bring about a shift towards pedestrian- oriented urban neighborhoods. However, Millard- Ball also finds that the 35 of autonomous vehicles may be influenced by their strategic disadvantage that slows them down in urban traffic.“Pedestrians routinely play the game of chicken,” Millard- Ball writes. Crossing the street, even at a marked crosswalk without a traffic signal, requires a probability calculation: what are the odds of survival?The benefit of crossing the street 36 , instead of waiting for a gap in traffic, is traded off against theprobability of injury or even death. Pedestrians know that drivers are not interested in running them down-usually. But there is the chance a driver may be 37 or drunk.Self- driving cars are 38 to obey the rules of the road, including waiting for pedestrians to cross. They could provide the most 39 transformation in urban transportation systems. Parking, street design, and transportation service networks are likely to be revolutionized. In his latest study, Millard- Ball suggests that the potential benefits of self- driving cars-avoiding boredom of traffic and traffic accidents-may be outweighed by the 40 of an always play- it- safe vehicle that slows traffic for everybody.“From the point of view of a passenger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a street filled with unaccompanied five- year- old children,” Millard- Ball writes.Alternatively, planners could seize the opportunity to create more pedestrian- oriented streets. Autonomous vehicles could start a new era of pedestrian domination.II. Reading ComprehensionsSection AWhy some brilliant ideas get overlooked?In 1928, Karl Jansky, a young radio engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories, began researching static interference that might obscure voice transmissions. Five years later, after building a large rotating antenna(天线) and investigating every possibility he could think of, he published his remarkable 41 : some of the static was coming from the Milky Way.Jansky’s theory was eye- catching enough to be published in The New York Times but scientists were 42 . Radio signals from outer space? Surely, they were too weak to detect. Jansky’s ideas were largely 43 for about a decade. He died at the age of 44.Thankfully, he lived long enough to see his ideas blossom into field of radio astronomy.Jansky’s story resonates with us: we all like the idea of the researcher who is so far ahead of their 44 that it takes years for the rest of the world to catch up. Gregor Mendel’s research into plant genetics is a famous example-published in 1866, it was only verified and taken seriously in 1900.The stories of Jansky and Mendel hold out some hope to anyone who feels that the world has not quite 45 their brilliance. There is even a name for such cases, coined by Anthony van Raan of Leiden University:“ Sleeping Beauties”, scientific papers that receive almost no citations for years, before finding wide 46 . (Some scholars argue that the term is sexist and prefer “delayed recognition”.)So what is it about an idea that delays recognition? One view is that brilliant ideas are overlooked when delivered by obscure messengers. Jansky and Mendel were somewhat detached from (离开) the scientific 47 . In 1970, the sociologist Stephen Col e published an analysis arguing that the obstacle tended to lie in the 48 of the idea itself, rather than the prestige of the scientist behind it. Ideas fell asleep for a hundred years because they were radical, or confusing, or both.It is difficult to be sure. Two scholars of the field, Eugene Garfield and Wolfgand Glanzel, have argued that such 49 of delayed recognition are so rare as to be hard to analyze. Studying papers published in 1980 from the vantage (优势) point of 2004, they looked for articles that were barely cited for five years, then subsequently 50 . They found just 60 examples in 450,000 cases. There are plenty of examples of research that is barely cited; what is rare istheir subsequent popularity.Why, then, is this myth such a compelling one? One explanation, of course, is that we all love a story of the underdog(黑马) who triumphs against 51 . Immediate and sustained success is as boring as immediate and sustained failure.Another is that scientists themselves are fond of the thought that their ideas are 52 . In an essay on delayed recognition, Garfield notes mildly that one historian of science, Derek Price, believed one of his own papers was suffering delayed recognition. It is easy to chuckle, but it is also easy to empathize.Delayed recognition is rare. Much more 53 is for people simply to reach their prime late in life. David Galenson is an economist who studies the creative output of musicians, artists, directors and others. Galenson has found that while it is quite possible to 54 as a radical young conceptual artist, there are many examples of“ old masters” whose later works are more admired than their youthful ones.We all need to be able to hold on to the idea that the best is yet to come. But it is too tempting to hope that what we have already produced will, one day, be recognized for its brilliance. Good things do not come to those who wait, if 55 is all they do. It is wiser to get back to work and make something better.41. A. paper B. device C. invention D. conclusion42. A. unreliable B. unimpressed C. unsatisfactory D. uncomfortable43.

You have systemic lupus, he said matter- of- factly. “Lupus,” he continued,“ is an auto- immune disease and …”I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children.“ Children are no harm. But childbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway.”As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, “I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression.”Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms of tiredness and joint pain were both consistent with what I wasexperiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.I studied and found out that echinacea had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one- year- old son and three- year- old daughter.After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Stubs. How could one endure repeatedly hear desperate words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my hand and looking into my eyes warmly,“So, let’s talk a little.”Instantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had me running on and on about my children, my husband, my life and dreams. I told her about all the meaningful activities I was involved in, those things I might have never done without the disease.After several follow- up tests, and greater research into my family history, Dr. Kirsteincame came to conclusive answer. I did not have systemic lupus. There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.I didn’t know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in fear, but in happiness. Every day wasa gift and I knew it.56. Dr. Strubs warned the author against having more children because ______.A. The process of giving birth put her life in dangerB. Taking care of children will gradually worsen her diseaseC. Her disease will threaten the health of her childrenD. She already has enough children57. Why did the author stop seeing doctor Strubs after two visits?A.

Following an initial 37 per cent productivity increase, which operations director Lorraine Gray owes to the novelty factor, total productivity settled to almost 30 percent higher than before the change.“I think it works really well here because it’s part of an overall culture of wellbeing,” says Gray.” Everyone is really clear that the focus is on the work- life balance and making sure everyone can be the best version of themselves.”Having less time to complete the same tasks drives staff to work efficiently. “Just shifting to thinking about’ How can I do my work in less time?’ focuses people’s attention on what it is important for them to do. They make slightly more strategic decisions over the actions that are going to result in higher levels of productivity,” explains Prof Paul Redford, an occupational psychologist at the University of the West of England.The 9 to 5, five- day week is a relatively recent invention in the history of human work. It was the result of muchcampaigning to reduce working hours once the Industrial Revolution had provided technology to vastly improve productivity. The Trades Union Congress (TUC) believes that we should once more take advantage of the rewards of our technological boom, in particular AI and automation, and shorten our working week further.“The Industrial Revolution, with the promotion of factory- based working, shifted the nature of work to this 9 to 5,’ says Redford. “We’re still, in some on productivity. Sometimes the focus on wellbeing is saying that it’s good to have high level of wellbeing because it’s more productive; I think that wellbeing is not a bad aim in and of itself.”60. What does “the novelty factor”( paragraph 1) refer to?A. Productivity increased by 38%.B. Workers needn’t work on Fridays.C. Pursuit Marketing was based in Glasgow.D. Total productivity settled to almost 30% higher.61. What conclusion can be drawn from the column of“ The data behind the push for a four- day week”?A.

Workers in Germany were about 35% more productive than those in the UK in 2016.62. In terms of a four- day work week, which of the following statements is Prof Paul Redford most likely to agree with?A. Everyone can become the best decision maker.B. High productivity can improve workers’ wellbeing.C. Workers may ignore the importance of productivity.D. AI and automation has resulted in a shorter working week.(C)Imagine a world in which your life is filled with intelligent advertisements. Jaron Lanier, who was an adviser on “Minority Report”, asci- fi film, worries that this could be the future. A few platform firms, he fears, will control what consumers see and hear and other companies will have to use some of their profits (by buying ads) to gain access to them.That may sound ridiculous, but it is increasingly what investors are banking on. The total market value of a basket of a dozen American firms that depend on ad revenue, or are designing their strategies around it, has risen by 126% over the past five years. The part of America’s economy that is ad- centric has become systematically important, with a market value that is larger than the banking industry.The huge sums being bet on advertising raise a question: how much of it can America take?A back- of- the- envelope calculation by Schumpeter suggests that stock prices currently imply that American advertising revenues will rise from 1% of GDP today, to as much as 1.8% of GDP by 2027-a massive-mp. Since 1980 the average has been 1.3%, according to Jonathan Barnard of Zenith, a media agency, and in the past few years the advertising market relative to GDP has been shrinking.There are reasons why it might go on, points out Bob Norman of Group M, another media agency. In the old days advertisers in Time magazine or on billboards in Times Square were what only giant firms could afford. But techplatforms have done a brilliant job of persuading smaller companies to spend money targeting customers.Adverts could become even more effective at identifying customers and attracting them to spend money, using data that have been gathered to anticipate their needs. As commerce shifts online, firms will cut back on conventional marketing, freeing up budgets to spend more on digital ads.Yet there is a logical limit to the size of the advertising market: the irritation factor, or how much consumers can absorb without being put off. The golden rule used to be that ads could comprise no more than 33-50% of TV or radio programming, or of a magazine’s pages, says Rishad Tobacco wala, of Publicis, an advertising firm. The digital world is already showing signs of saturation. More people are using ad- blocking software. Tech brands that avoid bombarding(狂轰滥炸) customers with ads, such as Apple and Netflix, are wildly popular.63. What can be learned from paragraph 2?A. Some decisions that investors make are ridiculous.B. Investors are optimistic about intelligent advertising.C. The banking industry itself has been shrinking greatly.D. More American firms devote themselves to advertising.64. According to Bob Norman, why might American advertising revenues account for a larger part of GDP?A. Conventional marketing is losing its appeal.B. Giant firms will spend much more on advertising.C. Advertising will be available to more and more firms.D. Customers are becoming more willing to spend money.65. By “The digital world is already showing signs of saturation”( paragraph 6), the writer means that ______.A. ad- blocking software needs to be used more widelyB. customers can hardly skip a website filled with advertisementC. the digital world is not as advanced as commonly thoughtD. the online advertising market may have reached its limit66. What is the passage mainly about?A. The limits of intelligent advertising.B. The prospects of intelligent advertising.C. The advantages of intelligent advertising.D. The dominance of intelligent advertising.Section CA. Making only mindful purchases, and looking for ways to recycle my clothes makes me a better consumer.B. Its modern simplicity really appeals to me.C. Some fibres simply do not recycle and do not de- compose in landfill at the end of their usefulness.D. It switches the make-wear-and- dispose cycle of fashion into a circular one.E. One of my favourites is this burnt orange lightweight, unlined wool coat.F. I only wish I’d learned this lesson about shopping a lot sooner than I did!Full Circle FashionAutumn’s cooler temperature and beautiful colours never cease to excite me. I love reaching deep into mywardrobe and rediscovering the soft wool items that have served me well for many years. 67 Every October, I decide it’s time for it to make its yearly appearance. The loose style allows for lots of layering, so I’m able to wear it now and throughout the colder winter weather. It was a carefully considered purchase, and one I’ve not regretted for a moment. I always find the more time and thought I put into my wardrobe investments, the better they pay off.An item currently under consideration is this one that caught my eye last winter - a recycled cashmere poncho(羊绒斗篷). I’ve tried on this long poncho a few times and a year later, I still love it. 68 Also the cashmere itself is superb quality. The flexibility of a long poncho makes it even more irresistible. It would be ideal for a chilly office or aeroplane. It layers perfectly under loose long coat like my orange one. I love how it modernizes a odernizesr blouse. It feels like a wise investment for my wardrobe; supporting a business that facilitates sustainable fashion feels like a wise direction of my money.“Circular fashion”, where no longer used items are re- crafted into new clothes (like this poncho) is a new way of consuming that will be with us forever. 69 Every aspect of the process ensures tons of clothing do not end up in landfill each year. In general, circular fashion opts for wool, cotton, cashmere, and silk- all of which can be re- used or mixed with new natural fibres. These materials are more expensive, but if they are used in several circular cycles of clothing in the future, they pollute and waste less of our natural resources. 70 And innovative circular fashion brands will soon be giving us many more incredible options.IV. Summary Writing71.How to make resolutions stickHow are those New Year’s resolutions going? If you’re persisting, good for you. Many people do not. Given that the real challenge seems to be not making resolutions, but keeping them, I would like to understand more about that challenge.There is a revealing story at the end of How to Change in which Milkman and her colleague Angela Duckworth discuss the success of a large experiment. This experiment was run with a national gym chain and aimed to get people exercising more. Had it been a success? While the experimental persuasions were demonstrably effective at getting people to go to the gym during the four- week experimental period, they were far less effective at getting people to maintain their gym- going habit. If you hope for persistent results, one possible answer is persistent persuasion.There are other approaches. David Epstein, for example, had been struggling to quit his late- night snacking habit. When moving house, he simply decided that he would leave the old habit in the old house. This approach, he writes, was completely successful. Epstein also made a clear plan, something that is often missing from resolutions. Your resolutions to exercise more? Great! Where and how will you exercise, and when will you do it? It is better to sign up for a particular exercise class than for a generic gym membership, because you’ re forced to be specific about how you will achieve your goal.Another idea that has stuck in my mind is that our actions are influenced both by driving forces and by restraints -the accelerator(加速器) and the brake, if you like. When we want to move, we instinctively stamp harder on the accelerator, but we often get better results from releasing the brake. If you’re thinking of embracing a new resolution, ask yourself, “Why haven’t I been doing this already? What has been stopping me?” Answer those questions, and you might learn something that will help make your new resolution stick.V. Translation72.一到公司，他就被告知由于台风来袭电力中断。

Here's what you need to know if you are, or will be, visiting Ontario — and want to drive while you're here.Visiting: less than 3 monthsIf you are visiting Ontario for less than 3 months and want to drive while you're here, you can use a valid driver's licence from your own province, state or country.Visiting: more than 3 monthsIf you will be visiting from another country for more than 3 months, you will need an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from your own country. This is a special licence that allows motorists to drive internationally when accompanied by a valid driver's licence from their country. You need to have this permit with you when you arrive in Ontario. You cannot apply for one once you are here.Rules of the roadAs a visitor, you are responsible for knowing Ontario traffic laws. Here are just some:• keep to the right of the road• obey posted speed limits (e.g. 50 km/hour)• do not use handheld devices while driving (e.g. cell phones, tablets or music players)• slow down and pull to the right, if an emergency vehicle is driving behind you with their lights and sirens (e.g. an ambulance, fire truck or police car)If you break a traffic law, you will face a penalty. Penalties range from fines to making your licence invalid or your car taken away. For more information, please click here.1．l. Who is the text intended for?A．Potential immigrants.B．General visitors.C．Exchange students.D．Ordinary drivers.2．What driving habit is unacceptable in Ontario?A．Changing lanes at random.B．Giving way to fire trucks.C．Listening to music in the car.D．Driving within the speed limits.3．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A local website.B．A travel guide.C．An advertisement.D．A geography magazineA recording which captures the sounds of nature went online on Ximalaya, a popular audio (音频的) sharing platform, on July 9. The album was recorded by Shenggu, whose work has attracted over half a million followers.After graduation, he moved to Hangzhou in 2011 to work at an Intemet company with a "996 schedule" — working from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. The stress of work began to affect his sleep. To relieve the stress in work, in 2013, he traveled to Fujian during the National Day holiday. It was the first time he had visited the coast and he was so impressed by the sounds of the waves that he wanted to record them.When he was back in Hangzhou, he took the recorder to the suburbs at weekends to collect the sounds of nature and started uploading his recordings to the audio platform. Of his audio clips, the sound of rain has proved to be the most popular. Rain, he notes, is also one of the hardest sounds to record as it's all hard to predict — when it is going to rain, how heavy the rainfall is and when it will stop. He usually keeps his recorder fully charged, and knows where he wants to record before the rain comes. To avoid catching the sound of the rain hitting the material, he doesn't wear a raincoat and has to remain still. As a result, he endures mosquito bites and is often left soaking wet. He once drove 50 kilometers to record a thunderstorm but returned empty-handed.He will often take his recording equipment into the forest or to the river just to be a "gourmet" of nature sounds. "When I bring my recording equipment and walk alone in the woods, I feel the peace in nature and all messy thoughts in my head can be thrown away," he says. He adds that he will continue to record the sounds of nature, because, as time goes by, some may vanish like those no longer heard in the city. He wants to keep them in the recordings.4．Why did Shenggu start recording sounds?A．The "996 schedule" motivated him.B．The stress of work made him sleepless.C．The sound of nature kept him spellbound.D．The vastness of the ocean impressed him. 5．Which of the following best describes Shenggu's efforts to record the sound of rain?A．Painful.B．Wholehearted.C．Dangerous.D．Pleasant.6．From the last paragraph, we can infer Shenggu will work continuously to__________.A．find inner peace for his lifeB．gain popularity from his audienceC．prepare more materials for his workD．preserve nature sounds for more people7．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Cure for Stress FoundB．A Natural Sounding PastimeC．The Trick of Recording Nature SoundsD．An Audio Platform Attracting FollowersA new study, published in The Journal of Experimental Psychology found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. However, people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can "correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person."Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message. Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaningbehind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.8．What is the purpose of the study?A．To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.B．To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.C．To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.D．To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.9．Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away?A．Typing a letter.B．Sending an email.C．Having a video chat.D．Texting a message.10．What does "a controlled form of communication" refer to in Paragraph 4?A．A way to talk about controlled topics.B．A way to communicate without time limit.C．A way to explain something without delay.D．A way to express thoughts without being disturbed.11．What advantage does making phone calls over texting?A．Being more formal.B．Being less awkward.C．Being more straightforward.D．Being less expensiveThe term (术语) “pseudo-working” is used to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration (专注), he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.By placing themselves in distracting (令人分心的) environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and accomplish the task at hand efficiently. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. However, Straight-A students know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. A science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to learn best. So how do these students achieve this goal? To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula (公式): work accomplished = time spent x intensity (强度) of focus.Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.12．Which of the following phenomenon is NOT pseudo-working?A．Alex takes an online class while having snacks.B．Lucy spends a long time in the library on her essay while listening to music.C．Emily and Sara read their favorite books, as they talk about entertainment news.D．Nick is busy taking notes while attending a training course in an academic hall. 13．What’s the major problem of most students compared with straight-A students?A．They are unaware of the fact that they are pseudo-working.B．They have never thought about how to improve their study efficiency (效率).C．They are doing something to harm their brain’s ability to think clearly.D．They are willing to spend much time studying in a distracting environment. 14．What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 5?A．Least.B．Best.C．Delicate.D．Accurate. 15．What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula?A．The length of time on study counts.B．Getting work done quickly meanseverything.C．Concentration plays a key role in study.D．Effective study ways are very important.二、七选五Choose Action Over PerfectionImperfect progress realized is better than perfection imagined. 16 . A perfectly outline novel is unreadable until it moves out of the outline and into words, dialogues, conflicts and characters. That's why we should choose action over perfection. Here are some suggestions to help you act.Just do it. Whatever it is, just grab 5 minutes and put it into imperfect, beautiful, and flawed action that will result in imperfect, beautiful, and flawed value. Don't think too hard about it. 17 . Instead, just focus on the work you can do today. We're not good at assessing our own competencies. That's part of the reason that taking action is so scary, but don't hesitate.18 . If you keep a journal, try logging both your failures and your successes for a week or so. Compare the two categories. Log your movement forward, no matter how small. Perspective matters. Failure teaches. Success follows. Some things simply aren't worth it. Even an overwhelming sense of obligation doesn't change that fact. 19 .Work on your assignment. Keep writing, sketching, painting or whatever it is you need to be doing. Keep taking one small imperfect action after another. 20 because you'll never be. Don't wait until it's perfect, because it's rarely going to happen. Don't wait at all.A．Expect something perfectB．This may sound confusingC．Keep track of what you doD．Don't wait until you're readyE．Don't focus on the goals of perfectionF．So let go of the stuff that doesn't matterG．A perfectly imagined work of art is useless until it exists outside of your head三、完形填空like anything, and he can't even come up with his own tune. 26 he sings at the top of his tiny 27 , which are probably the size of a nut when full of air.

Throw in a touch of romance, and I will stay up all night reading. I am also hungry for YA (young adult) novels, particularly stories about ordinary teens dealing with life, family, relationships or mental health. The digital age has been really hard on kids and teens, and I think young readers need to see their experiencereflected on the page to know they’re not alone.”1．What do we know about Jennifer March Soloway?A．She works in public relations now.B．She believes revisions really help.C．She relaxes herself by riding a bike.D．She publishes her clients’ projects. 2．What does Jennifer March Soloway seek to do?A．To write stories about teenage life.B．To enjoy YA novels with romance.C．To bring teenage problems to light.D．To reflect the benefits of digital age.3．In which section of a newspaper can we find this article?A．News.B．Finance.C．Advertisements.D．Literature.A new T- shirt that continuously monitors heart activity and detects abnormalities may help prevent strokes by identifying dangerous heart conditions like atrial fibrillation (AF). This irregular heart rhythm increases the risk of stroke and affects over a million-people in Britain, with an estimated 500,000 more remaining undiagnosed due to a lack of noticeable symptoms. While some individuals experience signs like chest pain, dizziness, or fatigue, many only discover the condition after suffering a stroke.Detecting AF typically involves an electrocardiogram (ECG), performed in a hospital where trained staff attach up to 24 electrodes to different parts of the body. However, since AF often occurs intermittently (间歇地), a short hospital check- up may not detect it. To counter this, doctors sometimes provide patients with a Holter monitor, a device worn under clothing that records heart activity. However, it’s bulky, inconvenient, and requires multiple wires to be attached to the chest, making it uncomfortable for daily wear.The Cardioskin T-shirt offers a more practical alternative. Made from cotton and washable up to35 times, it has15 small electrodes woven into the chest area to monitor heart signals continuously. The T-shirt can be worn 24 hours a day, increasing the likelihood of detecting abnormal rhythms. Powered by a removable battery, the electrodes feed data to a microchip, which wirelessly transmits the information to an app. The app converts the data into an easy- to- read chart, highlighting any irregular heart activity. The results are then shared with the patient’s doctor, allowing for remote monitoring without requiring hospital visits. This innovative design could make diagnosing AF easier and more accessible, potentially reducing the risk ofstroke for many.Professor Martin Cowie, a cardiologist at Imperial College London, views Cardioskin as an significant development in heart health monitoring, offering a comfortable and efficient tool for early detection of cardiac problems.4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A．The difficulty in detecting atrial fibrillation.B．The benefit of wearing a Holter monitor.C．The process of recording heart activity.D．The future of developing a new ECG. 5．Why did the author mention a Holter monitor in the text?A．To introduce a way to check the patient’s heart.B．To explain why doctors like using the device.C．To show the advantage of a Cardiosk in T- shirt over it.D．To encourage people to care about their health.6．What can we learn about the Cardiosk in T- shirt?A．It has electrodes placed all over the T- shirt.B．It can be worn a month without being washed.C．It has a battery that can be charged easily and quicklyD．It can make the process of diagnosis timely and convenient.7．What could be the best title for the passage?A．New ECC: an important development for doctorsB．Hi- tech T- shirt: a good helper for detecting strokesC．Holter monitor: a device tracking patients’ heart problemsD．Cardiosk in T- shirt: a shirt keeping patients from diseasesIt has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days.When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was nodifferent for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing?Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes.You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about.Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularly and find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard.Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 8．What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Pleasant.B．challenging.C．Awful.D．Boring.9．What bothered the author when winter came?A．The cold weather influenced her working performance.B．She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste.C．Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety.D．She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics.10．According to the author, why should we quit for a new job?A．To escape from the current pain.B．To satisfy our temporary interests.C．To explore where our strength lies.D．To pursue what we really desire. 11．What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers?A．Critical.B．Favorable.C．Cautious.D．Unclear.Many philosophers and psychologists have argued that empathy (共情) is a natural characteristic, hard-wired into our genes and brains. The reasoning goes that each of us has a“level” of empathy and—like our adult height—we’re stuck there for life. This is all well and good if you’re already empathetic, but also means that if you struggle with empathy, you’ll never improve no matter how hard you try.Thankfully, this view is incomplete. Through the right practices, such as diverse friendships and even fiction reading, we can grow our empathy on purpose. Empathy is something like a muscle: left unused, it weakens; put to work, it grows.No emotion is always useful, and that goes for empathy as well. This is especially true for nurses, doctors and other caregivers. These individuals are driven to their work by a deep desire to help others. Patients of empathetic doctors are more satisfied with their care. However, when healthcare professionals care too much, they are at high risk of burnout, tiredness and depression from over-empathizing with others’ suffering.Some psychologists, including myself, are now exploring how people in these professions might empathize in more sustainable ways. For example, empathetic concern-—feeling for someone—is distant from emotional empathy—feeling as someone else does. If they can develop concern instead, for example, they can care without falling apart.In another set of studies conducted with Carol Dweek, a Stanford professor of psychology, we found that merely believing empathy is a skill that can be developed inspired people to try harder at it. For instance, people who were encouraged to have a “growth mindset” around empathy, as compared to a fixed mindset, spent more time listening to the suffering of someone of another race and more energy towards trying to understand the opinions of someone from a different part of the political divide.12．What view do many philosophers and psychologists have about empathy?A．It grows when practiced often.B．It is a result of individual experiences.C．It is inborn and difficult to develop.D．It varies depending on one’s upbringing.13．What does the author suggest doctors do?A．Develop their emotional empathy.B．Try to erase their patients’ concern.C．Care for their patients as much as possible.D．Work on improving their empathetic concern.14．Based on Carol Dweek’s studies in which situation are people willingly empathetic?A．If they believe that empathy is flexible.B．If they are given enough attention.C．If they listen to the identical political views.D．If they suffer racial discrimination.15．In which unit of a textbook does the text most likely appear?A．Understanding yourself more.B．Feeling for others.C．Exploring genes and emotions.D．Repairing broken relationships.Getting negative feedback never feels good. In fact, it pretty much always sucks. Even though it feels bad, constructive feedback is meant to help us grow and improve. Here are some strategies that can help you use negative feedback constructively, leading to positive change.16 Your instinct may be to get upset or justify yourself instantly, but it’s important to remain as professional as possible in the moment. Even when your criticizer is factually wrong, the response “You’re wrong!” won’t ever be helpful. The key is to listen without planning your reply. Simply nod until the other person has completely finished.Recognize the good intentions. Remember, the people who will give you tough feedback are the people who really care about your success. People who tell you only what they know you want to hear don’t really care about you. 17Don’t let it harm your confidence. Whatever you do, don’t allow negative feedback to destroy your self-esteem. 18 Whatever went wrong won’t define you forever if you apply the feedback constructively and use it to your advantage.Practice self-affirmation. 19 It can be helpful to remind yourself of other aspects of your identity that are not in question to boost your confidence. For example, you could say: “Yes, my team thinks I’m a micromanager, but I can work on that, I am also a nice partner, committed volunteer and talented singer.’’Set actionable goals. It can be helpful to break down the feedback into specific, actionable goals. 20 Set time to outline an action plan and timeline for each of these goals. With this, you can keep track of your progress and hold yourself accountable to your goals.Though negative feedback may be disheartening, take the necessary steps to become an even better version of yourself.A．Avoid reacting defensively.B．Don’t take the feedback personally.C．These can feel easier to work with and give you direction.D．You don’t have to apply every piece of feedback you receive.E．Negative feedback can sometimes make you feel like a failure.F．It’s almost impossible to consistently do everything right all the time.G．So instead of reacting negatively, thank those caring about you to give you honest feedback.二、完形填空Every Christmas, my mom would fill our stockings with small toys and candies.

Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.4．Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?A．To impress his friends and relatives.B．To avoid the boredom of retirement.C．To start a new career as a concert pianist.D．To pursue a long-time passion for music. 5．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A．The author attended a concert of piano music.B．The author performed successfully despite a few errors.C．The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.D．The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.6．What does the author do with his piano now?A．He uses it for music lessons.B．He uses it for performance.C．He uses it for something unrelated to music.D．He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.7．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Inner- directed and hardworking.B．Conventional and careless.C．Ambitious and kind-hearted.D．Lazy and pessimistic.When it comes to diatoms (硅藻类) that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis (光合作用) is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled are also building biomass by feeding directly on organic carbon in the ocean.These new findings could lead researchers to reduce their estimate of how much carbon dioxide diatoms pull out of the air via photosynthesis, which in turn, could take a much closer look at the understanding of the global carbon cycle, which is especially relevant given the changing climate. The new findings were published in Science Advances on July 17, 2024.The team showed that the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium, which is found in oceans around the world, regularly performs a mix of both photosynthesis and direct eating of carbon from organic sources such as plankton (浮游生物) . In more than 70% of the water samples the researchers analyzed from oceans around the world, the team found signs of simultaneous photosynthesis and direct organic carbon consumption from Cylindrotheca closterium. The team also showed that this diatom species can grow much faster when consuming organic carbon in addition to photosynthesis. Furthermore, the new research hinted at the possibility that specificspecies of bacteria are feeding organic carbon directly to a large percentage of these diatoms living all across the global ocean. This work is based on a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that the team used to reveal the metabolism of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium.The team’s new metabolic modeling data support recent lab experiments suggesting that some diatoms may rely on strategies other than photosynthesis to intake the carbon they need to survive, thrive and build biomass.The UC San Diego led team is in the process of expanding the scope of the project to determine how widespread this non-photosynthetic activity is among other diatom species. 8．What’s new according to the research?A．The way of the diatom’s carbon accumulation.B．The impact of climate on diverse sea plants.C．The procedure of exploring carbon.D．The system of building biomass.9．What do the new findings make researchers more focus on?A．The causes of climate change.B．The grasp of the carbon cycle.C．The bad effect of photosynthesis on diatoms.D．A rough estimate of the amount of carbon dioxide.10．What do we know from paragraph 3?A．A large number of diatoms may feed on bacteria.B．The diatom lives on plankton.C．Water samples are key factors for the research.D．Diatom species grow faster with sufficient sunlight11．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Photosynthesis in Diatoms B．Plankton’s Role in OceansC．New Carbon Strategies in Diatoms D．Advances in Modeling DataAccording to a report in 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that non-sugar sweeteners not be used as a means of achieving weight control or reducing the risk of diseases. The guideline came as a surprise. After all, the very purpose of non-sugar sweeteners-which contain little to no calories—is to help consumers control their weight and reduce their risk of disease by replacing sugar.In its report, the WHO cited evidence that long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners is associated with an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病) and death. How is it that non-sugar sweeteners are linked to the negative health effects they’re supposed to fend off?The WHO made its recommendation after reviewing hundreds of published studies. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of these studies are observational. In such studies, subjects tend to self-report their food intake, which might not guarantee inaccuracy. More importantly, observational studies cannot determine cause and effect. Are non-sugar sweeteners causing diabetes, or are people at risk of diabetes simply more likely to consume them? Lastly, there are numerous variables that researchers can’t possibly control for in these studies that could influence the results.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) tell a different story about non-sugar sweeteners. These studies control for variables by randomly assigning people to either a treatment or control group, and they can determine cause and effect. They show that sweeteners modestly benefit weight loss and help control blood sugar, without the negative effects seen in observational research. The downside of RCTs is that they are shorter in duration, often lasting just a few months. So negative effects could appear after longer use and we wouldn’t be able to tell from these RCTs.But we also can’t tell from observational studies, which only measure correlation and not causality (因果关系) . Changing the current situation might be hard, though. RCTs are expensive and require recruiting participants, setting up diet plans, and regularly measuring subjects’ health outcomes.For change to happen, it might need to start at the top, where science is funded Government agencies, which appropriate billions for research, should start prioritizing RCTs.12．What do the underlined phrase “fend off” probably mean in paragraph 2?A．Put out.B．Defend against.C．Keep up.D．Count on. 13．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The WHO’s suggestions on observational studies.B．The strategies to decide cause and effect in conducting studies.C．The significance of controlling variables in observational studies.D．The limitations of the observational studies in the WHO report.14．What is a feature of RCTs according to the text?A．They cost little B．They tend to last long.C．They can control variables and determine causality.D．They require participants to self-report related data15．How should the government help RCTs?A．By making appropriate plans B．By providing financial supportC．By raising people’s awareness of health D．By founding more related governmentagenciesTo make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them. Put people in the storyScience’s stories often lack human characters. 16 . Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.17People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. 18 . And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information. Include what people care aboutScientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of thelowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. 19 . Tell science's storiesScientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. 20 . Think about all of a story’s characteristics - character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.A．Explain science as a processB．Shoot attractive short science videosC．Scientists themselves can actually become ideal onesD．This practice is to stress why the content is importantE．You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientistsF．Science communicators can emphasize how science is conductedG．You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message二、完形填空In 2018, Molly Baker unfortunately lost her husband in a severe skiing accident. She was 21 . In the first several weeks after his passing, her friends and family 22 a great deal of support. But after a while, the cards and meals started to 23 . “People had to get back to their normal 24 . And so things kind of dropped off,” Baker recalled.That was when one of Baker's friends, Carla Vail, thought up a way to 25 the help for an entire year. She called it the “Calendar Girls”. V ail gathered the names of 31 of Baker's friends who wanted to help, and 26 each friend a particular day. Vail also gave Baker the names on the 27 , so Baker could know what to 28 each day.“And what that looked like for them was that on that day, they would reach out to me in some 29 ways—maybe via text, or a card,” Baker said.Looking back, Baker feels that Vail's 30 was essential to helping her cope with her husband's death, because she was 31 at that time.“A lot of people are really uncomfortable around 32 ,” Baker said. “So what they do is, instead of doing something, that they 33 do nothing. It was nice to have that ‘Calendar Girls’ setup.”Today, Baker tries to do something similar for her friends going through 34 . In hard times, she knows how 35 it is to have something to look forward to every day. 21．A．cautious B．unconscious C．desperate D．impassive 22．A．extended B．demanded C．announced D．assumed 23．A．pass down B．show up C．break up D．slow down24．A．exercise B．routine C．diet D．growth 25．A．resist B．continue C．explain D．test 26．A．ordered B．sent C．owed D．assigned 27．A．furniture B．file C．calendar D．Internet 28．A．expect B．absorb C．propose D．define 29．A．rare B．strange C．specific D．generous 30．A．curiosity B．thoughtfulness C．ambition D．toughness 31．A．innocent B．optimistic C．tolerant D．lonely 32．A．panic B．evidence C．failure D．grief 33．A．simply B．hardly C．skillfully D．secretly 34．A．distraction B．addiction C．loss D．annoyance 35．A．amusing B．valuable C．astonishing D．universal三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

ARobert Ilijason, a 39-year-old IT specialist, once had to drive 20 minutes with his screaming baby in the backseat to an open grocery store to buy food for his hungry son. It was the late-night experience that gave Robert Ilijason the idea to open Sweden’s first unstaffed convenience store.Now Robert Ilijason runs a 24-hour shop with no cashier. Customers use their cell phones to unlock the door and scan their purchases. All they need to do is to register for the service and download an app. They get charged for their purchases each month.The shop has basics like milk, bread, sugar, canned food and other products that you expect to find in a small convenience store. But it doesn’t have tobacco or medical drugs becau se of the risk of thef t. Alcohol cannot be sold in convenience stores in Sweden.The no-service store has more advantages. Raymond Arvidsson, a friend of Ilijason’s , did his shopping in less than a minute. “No queues,” he said, smiling. “Quick in, quick out. I like.”“My ambition is to spread this idea to other villages and small towns,” said Ilijason. “It is incredible that no one has thought of this before.” He hopes the savings of having no staff will help bring back small stores to the countryside.But a bigger challenge has been facing some of the elderly residents in Viken. Tuve Nilsson, 75, said there were many more shops in the town when he moved here with his family in 1976. He welcomed Ilijason’s new store, saying it could be convenient for elderly people living alone. But he didn’t know how to get the hang of the technology involved.Ilijason is considering other ways to unlock the door that wouldn’t require using an app. He’s ruled out face-recognition or fingerprint scanners, but is thinking of installing a credit card reader like some banks use. He’s also considering having one person man the store for a few hours a day to help customers who aren’t comfortable with modern technology.21. Robert Ilijason’s late-night experience is mentioned to tell us .A. why he opened the unstaffed food shopB. how to open the unstaffed food shopC. how to look after the hungry childrenD. an open grocery store is very important22. What can we know about Robert Ilijason’s first unstaffed food shop?A. It charges customers for nothing.B. Customers can purchase goods in cashC. What customers need is a phoneD. Customers can buy whatever they want.23. From what Raymond Arvidsson said, we learn the shop is well known for .A. its wonderful foodB. its kind serviceC. its good safetyD. its quick purchase24. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. Ilijason’s store has no disadvantagesB. all the customers are not comfortable with modern technologyC. Ilijason will not open another kind of this no-service storeD. face-recognition will be dismissed in Ilijason’s new storeBI was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped thr ough the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit m y cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. "Do you have kids?" he as ked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by ba ck routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.25. What do we know about the man from the passage?A. He had lost contact with his family.B. He had been forbidden to smoke.C. He had been searched.D. He had killed someone.26. Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?A. Because he was sure he was to be killed.B. Because he wanted the guard to set him free.C. Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.D. Because he was a regular heavy smoker.27. What can we infer from the story?A. The guard freed him in the prison.B. The man smiled to please the guard.C. The guard set the man free with permission.D. The man was surprised to be set free.CYou never see them, but they are with you ev ery time you fly. They record where you’re going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to stand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They’re known as the black boxWhen planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine(潜水艇) detected the device’s h oming signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first model for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to stand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear(尾部)of the plane--- the area least subject to impact--- from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). That same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots’ conversation, and a flight-data recorder, which monitor fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s fi nal moments. Placed in an insulated(隔绝的) case and surrounded by quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When they went under the water, they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 feet. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the about 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only o ne plane’s black boxes were never found.28. What does the author say about the black box?A. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplaneB. The idea for it’s design comes from a comic bookC. Its ability to avoid disasters is incredibleD. It is an necessary device on an airplane29. What information could be found from the black box o n the Yemeni airliner?A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crashB. The total number of passengers on boardC. The scene of the crash and extent of the damageD. Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash30. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?A. To tell them from the color of the planeB. To caution people to handle them with careC. To make them easily identifiedD. To meet international standards31. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. There is still a good chance of their being foundB. There is an urgent need for them to be restructuredC. They have stopped sending homing signalsD. They were destroyed somewhere near BrazilDThousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their cars on Sunday in protest against unlicensed cars using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy(补贴) by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following thefootsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators(交通管理机构) have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of fundin g after getting $800 million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for business-people through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.32. Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?A. Because they wanted the auth ority to increase their driving allowances.B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.D. Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars.33. The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclear34. Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A. The problem referred to in the passage exists in all citiesB. App-based car rental is functional to some degreeC. The government should regulate the app-based car rental marketD. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company35. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companiesB. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi ZhuancheC. some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-based car rentalcompaniesD. it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
