AA few hours after my first mission, returning to Earth on the space shuttle Endeavour, I completed all of my medical tests after flight, met with NASA officials, and reunited with my family. Finally, I was alone in any office room in astronaut crew quarters at the Kennedy Space Center, exhausted and ready for bed. And 1 did what anyone does when they return to their hotel room on a business trip: I turned on the TV. The television news started up: Such and such had happened, people were shocked, blah blah blah. Sports scores. Silly commercials.It didn't take more than a minute before I had to turn it off. It felt like my body was rejecting all this input, just as it would reject an organ donation that had the wrong blood type. All of this noise was just completely foreign to who I was-or, more appropriately, who I had become. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound(深刻的)way.The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this big-picture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life.Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember mytime in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set. Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly.When I'm there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don't seem that pressing. It goes that, "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. " Living daily life down hereon the planet is so much better with this attitude!21. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2?A. Access.B. Attend.C. Accept.D. Afford.22. What is the most important change to the writer?A. He has a broader view of the world.B. He doesn't like watching TV any more.C. He will always be most grateful for everything.D. He can fly the most amazing machine by hands.23. What attitude to life does the writer tend to have?A. A caged bird longs for clouds.C. Let bygones be bygones.B. Live in the present moment.D. Time works great changes.BOn a bright summer morning，many young swimmers gather at a local swimming pool in thestate of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team. As they practice their strokes and cut seconds off of their times, they are getting lots of physical exercise and vitamin D from the sun. However, the benefits of belonging to a sports team are not just health-related. Team sports also help to build many life skills.The coach of the swim team is Paul Waas. He explains how swim team teaches the team members skills like discipline(纪律)and focus. "I think the discipline comes into play when you're talking about focusing on the details that your coaches are saying as it makes you faster rather than just going up and down the pool the same way you have every time. So, when you can focus on what you're doing right and what you can do better. . then you'll see the improvement. I think they see that from their peers and then it challenges them to do better themselves. "But discipline and focus are just two of the life skills that team sports can teach. There is also responsibility, goal-setting and working within a group.Again, here is Coach Waas. "I've had kids who, as 7-year-olds on the team, could barely pay attention in practice and were only interested in who was going first. And now they've come back as S-year-olds and they've set some goals. And now they have things that they want to achieve. They see the record board and they want their name up there. "These life skills can help a child later in life. An article published in the magazine Fast Company notes reasons why a company should consider employing former athletes. The writers argue that people who played sports in school are: focused on goals, strong communicators, team players, good at managing their time, and resilient-meaning they do not give up when things get difficult.Some studies have found that team sports could be especially good for women. A series of studies by the company Ernst & Young found that 90 percent of women in so-called "C-suite" positions (like chief executive officer, or CEO and chief financial officer, or CFO) at several major companies had played sports.24. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. Bright summer mornings are perfect for swimming.B. Swimming can be beneficial to us more than in health.C. Being admitted to a swimming team can be competitive.D. Being on a sports team benefits children in many aspects.25. Which of the following will Paul Waas agree with?A. Stress from peers makes kids discouraged.B. Kids may get inspired by peers' improvements.C. Kids can make improvements once they join a team.D. 7-year-old kids in the swimming team can learn nothing.26. The author wrote the passage to .A. analyze an upsetting social problemB. advocate taking up various team sportsC. appeal to readers to care for sports safetyD. share with readers his personal experiencesCGarbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drivefor sustainable growth, local media reported.The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of UrbanManagement. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30) for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.27. According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?A. Grey-colored dustbins.B. Red-colored dustbins.C. Green-colored dustbins.D. Blue-colored dustbins.28. We can learn from the passage that .A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbageB. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than ShanghaiC. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizensD. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing29. What is the best title for the text?A. How to Sort Garbage in ChinaB. The Current Regulation in BeijingC. Garbage Collection in BeijingD. Waste Recycling Project Counts30. The passage can be sorted as .A. a book reviewB. a travel brochureC. an environment reportD. a geography essay第二节(共5个小题；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。

Almost a year later, I found myself in Beijing, the capital of China. Before coming here, I had attended Chinese classes, and I could sense my progressin the language, albeit modest. As you might expect, studyin g for just one year wasn’t sufficient to claim fluency, and to be honest, I’m not there yet. But full proficiency in the language is not necessary to immerse yourself in and enjoy many attractions of life in China.The one thing that truly makes me feel comfortable and alleviates loneliness is making friends and engaging in conversation. At Tsinghua University, where I pursued my studies in China, I made friends with many Chinese young people and relished spending time with them, be it for meals or leisure activities. I’ve been delighted to sing Chinese songs, for example, those by the famous Chinese singer Jay Chou, with my friends. I would also sing well-known Japanese songs, such as Lemon, which, as it turns out, is very popular in China. I felt that connecting with my Chinese peers through a shared passion, such as singing, was incredibly enjoyable and beautiful. It transcended language barriers and fostered a sense of unity and joy that was truly special.During breaks from study, I frequently embarked on solo journeys across China. Although I have experienced traveling on overnight trains for over 12 hours several times and explored unfamiliar cities, I never felt fearful or unwelcome as a foreigner. Chinese people are consistently warm and welcome to foreigners, and eager to engage in conversation.I once participated in community activities in Northwest China’s Gansu province to gain a deeper understanding of China’s rural areas and contribute to the development of local communities and education. As a volunteer teacher at a local school, I shared contemporary and traditional Japanese culture such as anime, architecture, pop music and languages with the students. Since Japanese kanji originated in China, there are many similarities between the Japanese and Chinese languages.24. What is necessary for the author to enjoy attractions of life in China?A．Having proficiency in Chinese. B．Befriending with foreign tourists.C．Setting out on solo journeys alone. D．Communicating with Chinese locals. 25. What does the underlined word “relished” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Advocated. B．Enjoyed. C．Postponed. D．Avoided.26. How did the author develop the text?A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples.C．By making comparison. D．By setting questions.27. What is the author’s impression of Chinese people?A．Hospitable. B．Cautious. C．Punctual. D．Smart.In 2018, Jeff Highsmith of Texas started a Facebook page on behalf of his family. The page had one objective: to find Melissa Highsmith, Jeff’s sister. At just 21 months, she had been abducted 51 years earlier and the family was desperate for answers.In addition to the Facebook page, they made flyers with baby Melissa’s face and age-progression photos that indicated what she might look like now, in her fifties. Remarkably, they were convinced she was still alive all these years later, and determined to be reunited with her.They knew that more tools were now available to help locate missing persons— such as genealogy kits with DNA tests. And so, the family bought kit s from 23 and Me, and then uploaded the results to a public database called GED match.It seemed like a shot in the dark, but it worked. In November 2022, the Highsmith family found Melissa through a key DNA match: Melissa’s daughter. By pulling the threads of DNA matches, they zeroed in on the baby snatched so long ago. The family re union was a joyful one. Melissa described being found as “the most wonderful feeling in the world”.The story of Melissa Highsmith and her family got global news coverage. But it’s only one of many cases of people being connected by DNA analysis. In Canada, siblings separately adopted from Romania when they were babies were reunited in their fifties when both took a DNA test to learn more about their biological health, and it turned out they had spent much of their lives within a 30-minute drive of each other. Another two sisters— one in the UK, the other in the Netherlands— met for the first time in 75 years after learning that they had the same father. There are countless stories about how DNA was being used to reunite children with their parents.For the Highs mith family, happily reunited in Texas after decades apart, DNA was the link. “Our finding Melissa was purely because of DNA, not because of any police involvement, podcast involvement, communities, or even our family’s own private investigations or speculations,” notes one Facebook update.28. How do you find the Highsmith family from the age-progression photos?A．They are kind and intelligent. B．They are diligent and generous.C．They are determined and innovative. D．They are hardworking and devoted. 29. How can we describe the Highsmith family’s efforts?A．Birds of a feather flock together. B．Everything comes to him who waits.C．Misfortune may be an actual blessing. D．The good sea man is known in badweather.30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The Highsmith family think little of the power of DNA.B．The Highsmith family owe their reunion to various media.C．All the communities have spared no efforts to help Highsmith.D．DNA played a crucial and irreplaceable role in the Highsmith’s case.31. Which can be the best title of the text?A．An Amazing Technology B．A Reunited FamilyC．A Memorable Achievement D．An Unusual DiscoveryAncient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raisedwalls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years.A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form.Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions.Is ancient Roman concrete better? In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find c oncrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2, 000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada.Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together.Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why.32. What is the purpose of the comparison in Paragraph 1?A．To introduce a topic. B．To list a motivation.C．To give a definition. D．To present an argument.33. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists?A．Their necessary ingredients. B．Their processing procedure.C．Their amazing sustainability. D．Their high-end technology.34. According to the passage, ________ remains a mystery.A．what made up those ancient Roman materialsB．where the ancient Roman materials were producedC．how those ancient Roman materials were transportedD．why the ancient Roman materials healed automatically35. Where is the text probably from?A．A travel brochure. B．A science fiction.C．An architecture essay. D．An environment report.Looking for a job where you can make a difference?If you’re the kind of person who loves helping those around you and you enjoy putting your knowledge and skills in the service of others, there are plenty of jobs that fit this description perfectly.
