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

I'd pass hours on beaches with my brother, picking up muddy stones and skimming them. It was satisfying making them dance on the surface. That perfect skim, where the stone glided (滑行), brought me fantastic feelings-and still does. I was a competitive child and good at throwing. I enjoyed javelin (标枪) and was on a baseball team, but skimming stones was just for fun.In adulthood, things changed. In August 2017, an advertisement for the All England Open Stone Skimming Championships drew my attention. I signed up and paid £2 for three stones. I skimmed 28 metres and tried again and again, buying more stones to feed my desire, finally reaching 37 metres, which won me third place. I drove home excitedly, and £20 lighter.I returned to the 2018 championship, hoping for a champion. Walking on to the small throwing platform in my trainers, I threw a decent 44 metres and won. I spotted someone wearing a competition sweater with "World" written across it. "Where's that?" I asked and he told me about the annual World Stone Skimming Championships in Scotland.It was a month away and a six-hour drive. I thought about the cost and distance for weeks until, the day before the contest, the feeling of winning made a decision for me. "I'm going." I arrived at a hotel at 10 pm, but couldn't sleep for nerves and excitement. Early the next morning, I drove to the crossing where the competitors had begun waiting. Ropes and buoys (浮标) marked a 63-metre course. I had no idea if my best score was good enough to win. When my name was called at the prize-giving ceremony that afternoon, I was overjoyed. I was the women's world champion.I'm a big believer in giving things a go. I'm 42, and to become a world champion at this stage is pretty left-field. It showed me it was worth jumping in the car that day, and proof that a childhood spent throwing muddy stones from beaches wasn't wasted.4. What did the author enjoy about the stone skimming as a child?A. The competitiveness of the sport.B. The outstanding ability at throwing.C. The satisfaction the glide of the stone brings.D. The fun time she spent with her dad at the beach.5. What mainly helped the author all the way through every championship?A. Her discipline.B. Her desire to win.C. Her confidence.D. Her efforts on training.6. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Take it easy in face of challenges.B. Change the world by being yourself.C. A bigger stage is ready for those who try.D. Either I will find a way, or I will make one.CClown fish live their adult lives in the protective arms of sea anemones, the small brightly colored sea animals attached onto rocks to house clown fish. Between birth and adulthood, however, the fish have to complete a treacherous journey. After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a "wall of mouths" by sensing the unfriendly smells. With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish's sense of smell.My team put 300 recently hatched clown fish in our lab. When we introduced a friendly fish odor (气味), they did not react. But when we introduced an enemy odor, they swam away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings from the same parents in the more acidic water-a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends continue. When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn't recognize the meaning of them.It is always tricky to say that behaviors seen in a lab would also be seen in the wild. So we went to a sandy lake near one of the Great Barrier Reef's northern islands to test how wild-caught damselfish would react to enemy smells after exposing them to acidic water. In a tank, about half of them held in water withacidity expected by 2050 were attracted to the unfriendly odor and half were not, yet not one held in water anticipated by 2100 avoided being attracted to the enemy odor. We then let the marked damselfish loose in the lake. The fish once held in the most acidic water swam farther away from their protective home. Can fish adapt? Most studies have habituated fish to lifted acidic conditions over a few days or months-an extremely short length of time. The animals are not given a realistic opportunity to adapt. Yet some scientists thought that fish might escape the anger of ocean acidification, in part because early research done in the 1980s showed that certain animals had an astonishing ability to regulate their internal chemistry to survive acidified water. But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge.At a minimum, confusion could place yet another stressor on fish already challenged by rising water temperatures, overfishing, etc. Further, if many ocean creatures start to behave strangely, entire food webs and ecosystems could come crashing down. Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish's minds.7. What does the underlined word "treacherous" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Risky.B. Hurried.C. Mysterious.D. Helpless.8. What can we learn about the fish in the acidic water?A. They lost their senses to chemical signals.B. They were less likely to respond to threats.C. Their behavior in the lab disappeared in the wild.D. They tended to seek the protection from their home.9. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author's study confirms previous findings.B. Fish's adaptation to acidic water is a matter of time.C. Different fishes behave differently to acidity change.D. The chances of restoring fish's minds are yet to be seen.10. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. What Do Different Stressors Do to Ocean Creatures?B. What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures?C. How Does Ocean Acidification Destroy the Ecosystem?D. How Do Ocean Creatures Adapt to Ocean Acidification?DA snake-robot designer, a technologist, an extradimensional physicist and a journalist walk into a room. The journalist turns to the crowd and asks: Should we build houses on the ocean? Like a think-tank panel, members of the team dream up far-out answers to the crucial problem, such as self-driving housing units that could park on top of one another in the coastal city center.The setting is X, the enterprise which considers more than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging from clean energy to artificial intelligence. Although only a tiny percentage become "projects" withfar-reaching creativity, these projects exist, ultimately, to change the world, like Waymo, the biggest self-driving-car company. In the past 60 years, something strange has happened. As the academic study of creativity has thrived (蓬勃发展), the label innovation may have covered every tiny change of a soda can or a toothpaste flavor, but the rate of productivity growth has been mostly declining since the 1970s. John Fernald, an economist, points out that the notable exception to the post-1970 decline in productivity occurred when businesses throughout the economy finally figured out the breakthroughtechnology-information technology. John Fernald says, "It's possible that productivity took off, because we picked all the low-hanging fruit from the IT wave." Actually, the world economy continues to harvest the benefits of IT. But where will the next technology shock come from?Breakthrough technology results from two distinct activities-invention and innovation. Invention is typically the work of scientists and researchers in labs, while innovation is an invention put to commercial use. Seldom do the two activities occur successfully under the same roof. They tend to thrive in opposite conditions; while competition and consumer choice encourage innovation, invention has historically progressed in labs that are protected from the pressure to generate profit.Allowing well-funded and diverse teams to try to solve big problems is what gave us the computer and the Internet. Today, we fail to give attention to planting the seeds of this kind of ambitious research, while complaining about the harvest. "Companies are really good at combining existing breakthroughs in ways that consumers like. But the breakthroughs come from patient and curious scientists, not the rush to market," says Jon Gertner, the author of The Idea Factory."Technology is a tall tree," John Fernald said. "But planting the seeds of invention and harvesting the fruit of innovation are entirely distinct skills, often mastered by different organizations and separated by many years." As for me, both of them are essential for technology, although they are relatively independent. I don't think X is a planter or a harvester, actually. It is like building taller ladders. Nobody knows for sure what, if anything, the employees at such enterprises are going to find up on those ladders. But they're reaching. At least someone is.11. What is the main purpose of the first two paragraphs?A. To present the process of group discussion.B. To illustrate X's worry about big problems.C. To reveal the importance of the crazy ideas.D. To stress the varied backgrounds of the team.12. What can we learn from the passage?A. Breakthroughs must stand the test of the market.B. Innovation on necessities can promote productivity.C. Invention develops slowly under the pressure of profit.D. The harvest of innovation lies in some ambitious research.13. Regarding John Fernald's view on technology, the author is ______.A. supportiveB. cautiousC. uncertainD. critical14. What can be inferred about X from the passage?A. It will focus on innovation.B. It will have its outcome soon.C. It may give in to its fruitless reality.D. It may bring an encouraging outlook.EOnce upon a time, we were all question-asking experts. We started asking our parents numerous questions as kids. By preschool, our inquiries even reached the depths of science, philosophy, and the social order. Where does the sun go at night? Why doesn't that man have a home like we do? Why do rocks sink but ice floats? (1)Why does the child's urge to ask questions grow inactive in so many adults? An important factor is how the social environments surrounding us change as we age. Schools transform from a place for asking questions to one funded by our ability to answer them. (2) And we recognize that society rewards the people who propose to have the answers.(3) We can be braver about asking questions in public and encouraging others to pursue their curiosity, too. In that encouragement, we help create an environment where those around us feel safe to ask questions.When it comes to how we phrase questions, we are advised to open with less sensitive questions, favor follow-up questions, and keep questions open-ended. We can also practice asking questions of and for ourselves by keeping a running list of questions in a journal. (4) Finally, we could set aside time to ask absurd questions like "How would you accomplish a week's work in two hours?" This type of questions forces us to break the boundaries of our comfort zone.In the world that does not look much as it did years ago, we must ask questions. (5) Great questions can open up our capacity to change because they allow us to draw people in, opening them up to sharing knowledge, ideas, and opinions. And they are also our primary means of learning about the world. In short, asking questions is the best way to deepen our understanding of the things that matter to our life. As any child could probably tell us if we asked.A. Then, at some point, our inquiring desires disappear.B. It is a high-payoff behavior especially in times of change.C. The questions we ask depend on our attitudes as well as the situations.D. But as we grow up, asking questions fills us with worry and self-doubt.E. As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere.F. We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don't.G. It not only removes the publicity from question asking, but offers us a place to experiment.15. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG.

Over the years I have been fascinated to read about studies into the power of touch.One famous study examined videos of how people responded to those near them who had been the victim of a bad fortune. Researchers looked at their interaction with the victim, and compared this with behaviour in non-human primates (灵长类动物). It found that humans and primates comfort one another and demonstrate care in a similar way. It makes sense for me that offering hugs to calm victims may be an instinct that we got from primate ancestors.Another study found that when the husband or wife of a patient in sorrow or discomfort reaches out and holds their hand and, as if by magic, they become settled and less sorrowful. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised, as we have known for many years about the importance of touch. It symbolizes safety and love, and this is actually one of the most important aspects for development as a child. Is it any wonder that, when we are upset and distressed as adults, we seek out the same things? Whether young or old, humans are wired to be touched.Nevertheless, many people today suffer from "touch hunger", which typically occurs when a person experiences little touch or contact for a long time. It serves as a warning that the sense of security and care that comes with the contact of touch is missing. Thus, their well-being can suffer. It is associated with greater stress, anxiety and loneliness, and lower-quality sleep.Actually, even the briefest touch from us can bring strong emotional experiences to the receivers who suffer from "touch hunger". A warm handshake, a gentle pat on the shoulder, or a high-five is often enough to convey love and care.Be a giver!(1) What did the first study find about touch?____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________(2) Why is touch important?____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________(3) Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.Touch has the great power to give people who suffer from "touch hunger" strong emotional experiences, but a brief touch like a handshake is too light to convey love and care.____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________(4) Apart from touch, what other way(s) do you often use to express your love and care in your life?

During teen years, especially as the hormonal changes of teenagers are going on and the demands of school and extra-curricular activities are increasing, ADHD may get worse.Because of problems with getting unfocused and poor concentration, many teens with ADHD have problems in school. Grades may fall, especially if the teen is not getting ADHD treatment. It’s not uncommon for teens with ADHD to forget their homework, lose textbooks, and become bored with their daily class work. Teens may become inattentive or extremely attentive, not waiting for their turn before blurting out answers. They may cut in on their teacher and classmates. Teens with ADHD may also befidgetyand find it hard to sit still in class.Often, teens with ADHD are so busy focusing on other things that they forget about the task at hand. This can be seen especially with homework and athletic skills and in relationships with their schoolmates. This lack of attention to what they’re doing often leads to bad grades on tests and being passed over for sports teams, after-school activities, and learning teams. Kids with ADHD can be targets for bullying, too. But, not all children with ADHD have trouble getting along with others. If your child does, you can take measures to help improve their social skills and relationships.ADHD affects all parts of a teenager’s life. As a parent you should discover your teen’s troubles as early as possible. The earlier your child’s troubles are discovered, the more successful the following steps can be.4. What does the author plan to do in paragraph 1?A. To list the types of ADHD.B. To introduce the main topic.C. To show the author’s opinion.D. To explain the causes of ADHD.5. What does the underlined word “fidgety” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. Clever.B. Noisy.C. Restless.D. Lazy.6. What is the text mainly about?A. Ways to deal with ADHD.B. Effects of ADHD on teens.C. Teens’ school performances.D. Demands of school work.7. What may the following paragraph talk about?A. How parents can help a teen with ADHD.B. The importance of healthy peer relationships.C. How many children are suffering from ADHD. D. Different opinions about treating ADHD in teens.CIt was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta, then southward intoGlacierNational ParkinMontana, and continued toYellowstoneNational Park.It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him.8. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?A. It was taken by train to the west.B. It was a suggestion from their friends.C. It was in the late autumn five years ago.D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.9. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?A. He could have lost the camera.B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.10. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A. Kind and straightforward.B. Rich and generous.C. Creative and capable.D. Careful and admirable.11. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Seeing is believing.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. The longest journey begins with the first step.DThe Gata used to look annoyed when they received power bills that routinely topped $200. Last September the couple moved into a 1,500-square-foot home in Premier Gardens, an area of 95 “zero-energy homes” (ZEH) just outside town. Now they're actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as much energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a half-dozen subdivisions (住宅开发项目) in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using low power appliances and solar panels.Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of traditional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don't just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility's power grid(电网). The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power that they get from the grid, minus the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it's not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. "It helps us lower usage at peak power times," says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”What’s not to like? Mostly the costs. The special features can add $25,000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremely expensive. For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill.12. Why is the Gata eager to see their electricity bills now?A. They want to cut down their utility' expenses.B. They want to know if they are able to pay.C. They want to see how much they have saved.D. They want to avoid being overcharged.13. What is special about the ZEH communities?A. They are built in harmony with the environment.B. They have created cutting edge technologies.C. They are subdivided into half a dozen sections.D. They aim to be independent in power supply.14. What does the "net metering" practice mean to the power company?A. More pressure at peak timeB. Reduced operational costs.C. Increased electricity output.D. Less profits in the short term.15. The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community __________.A. is a worthy investment in the long runB. is but a dream for average consumersC. gives the owner great tax benefitsD. contributes toenvironmental protection第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AChinese Dual Language Immersion Program (CDLIP)What is Dual Language Immersion?Dual language immersion provides academic instruction in two languages. The Pasadena Unified School District currently offers a Chinese-English immersion program.Why Choose the CDLIP?Learning a second language awakens curiosity and respect for other nations and their cultures. Chinese is not only a rich language with a long literary tradition, but it has also emerged as an influential worldwide language. Our CDLIP promotes cross- cultural sensitivity, so that students can learn about the globalized world. For native Chinese speakers, our program ensures full development and mastery of English language arts while helping them become more fluent in their mother tongue.Our ClassroomsThe CDLIP serves primary school students, from kindergarten through second grade. Grades 3, 4 and 5 will be added in September of 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The program is currently located at Luther Burbank Primary School. On any given day, you might find a classroom full of kindergarteners counting and sorting coins, first graders singing "The More We Get Together”, or second graders describing physics experiments-all in Chinese!How Does the Program Work?CDLIP classrooms combine native and non-native speakers so that all students may succeed in both Chinese and English. We apply a Two-Way 90:10 Model. In kindergarten, 90% of the day's instruction is in Chinese and 10% is devoted to improving English oral language and the ability to read and write. As children progress through grade levels, the percentage of English instruction gradually increases, finally achieving a 50:50 split by fifth grade.To Register Your ChildLanguage learning is a long-term process, so parents are asked to register their children for the full six years.●Register online at /oe between June 13 and 23.●The program is free, supported by the Pasadena Unified School District.●For kindergarten, no knowledge of Chinese is necessary. (Some knowledge of Chinese is expected for students entering grades 1-3.)●Applications will be accepted after the deadline if spaces are still available.●If you would like assistance completing your application, please contact Ms. Netty Li at Burbank Primary School (626) 396-5760 or visit PUSD Welcome Center.21. After attending the CDLIP, students will be able to ________.A. master Chinese artsB. understand world historyC. hand down traditional literatureD. develop cross-cultural awareness22. What can you find in CDLIP classes?A. Kindergarteners spending more time practicing reading.B. Students learning through songs and activities.C. Higher-grade students using mostly Chinese.D.

PUSD Welcome Center offers help with registration.BFrom sausage rolls to sweets and a coffee with a bun, there were many things that made Greg Robinson smile.When the father-of-two, who was in his 50s, died suddenly in April 2021, his family's life was turned upside down.Greg ran a gift shop in his hometown of Donaghadee. Whether it was at work, walking the dog, with his local flute band or just out in his beloved town, his family said Greg made time for those in need. Now, on the week of his first anniversary, his family shared some of the things that made him smile with their community."We wanted to plan something together that allowed us to put our energy into something positive and give us something practical to do, which we knew would have an impact on others," they told the reporter."We knew that by making others smile, we in turn would feel the benefit of that too. We have realised the importance of little things that have made us smile throughout the past year."As Greg loved his town and the community, all the gifts were purchased locally. Among them are vouchers (代金券) for a bakery, for some of his favourite sausage rolls, an ice-cream shop where he used to buy a quarter of sweets, and a care because "a wee coffee and a bun would have made dad's face light up with excitement"."When someone dies, it is often the case that people are scared to mention the loved one in case it makes you sad, but the journey has taught us that this isn't the case. The wonderful memories of dad shared by our community bring so much comfort," his family said."We love those times when we hear how dad had impacted their lives, from showingkindness as a teenager at high school, to chatting away to customers in his shop," they added.For Greg's children, they will be forever grateful for their dad teaching them "to focus on the positive parts of the day, looking for ways that we can express gratitude for everyday things".24. What do we know about Greg from the first three paragraphs?A. Greg was often ready to help others.B. Greg had a great passion for cooking.C. Greg earned his living by playing in a band.D. Greg's death had little impact on his family.25. How did the community react after receiving the gifts?A. They gathered and comforted Greg's family.B. They expressed sadness about Greg's death.C. They were still afraid to talk about Greg.D. They shared good memories of Greg.26. What would be the best title for this passage?A. An Act of Kindness in Memory of GregB. Unusual Ways to Thank Greg's CommunityC. A Huge Celebration of Greg's Family ReunionD. Special Gifts to Record the Family Life of GregCMillions of migratory (迁徙的) birds occupy seasonally favorable breeding (繁殖) grounds in the Arctic, but scientists know little about the formation, maintenance and future of the migration routes of Arctic birds and the genetic determinants of migratory distance. In a new study, a multinational team of researchers under the leadership of Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences integrated two state-of-the-art techniques-satellite tracking and whole genome sequencing (基因排序)—and established a continental-scale migration system of peregrine falcons in Eurasian Arctic.The researchers tracked 56 peregrine falcons from six Eurasian Arctic breeding populations and sequenced 35 genomes from four of these populations to study the migration of this species. They found that the birds used five migration routes across Eurasia, probably established between the last Ice Age 22,000 years ago and the middle-Holocene 6,000 years ago. "Peregrine falconsinitiated their autumn migration mainly in September, and arrived at their wintering areas mainly in October," said Professor Mike Bruford, an ecologist at Cardiff University. "Peregrine falcons that depart from different breeding grounds use different routes, and winter at widely distributed sites across four distinct regions. Individual birds that were tracked for more than one year exhibited strong path repeatability during migration, complete loyalty to wintering locations and limited breeding dispersal (扩散). "The researchers quantified the migration strategies and found that migration distance is the most significant differentiation. They used whole genome sequencing and found a gene-ADCY8, which is known to be involved in long-term memory in other animals in previous research-associated with differences in migratory distance. They found ADCY8 had a variant at high frequency in long-distance migrant populations of peregrine falcons, indicating this variant is being favorably selected because it may increase powers of long-term memory thought to be essential for long-distance migration."Previous studies have identified several candidate genomic regions that may regulate migration-but our work is the strongest demonstration of a specific gene associated with migratory behavior yet identified," Professor Bruford said. The researchers further looked at models of likely future migration behavior to predict the impact of global warming. If the climate warms at the same rate as it has in recent decades, they predict peregrine populations in western Eurasia have the highest probability of population decline and may stop migrating altogether."Our work is the first to begin to understand the way ecological factors may interact in migratory birds," said Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang. "We hope it will serve as a cornerstone to help conserve migratory species in the world."27. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Five birds' historical migration routes were rebuilt.B. Peregrine falcons stick to the areas where they winter.C. Peregrine falcons leave for Arctic regions in September.D. Two novel research methods of migration were invented.28. What can we infer about ADCY8?A. It is a newly-discovered gene in the new study.B. It serves as a fundamental part of long-distance migration.C. It could be strengthened by the power of long-term memory.D. It turned out to be more favored by birds than the other animals.29. What is special about the new study?A. It has discovered a new genomic region of birds.B. It has predicted the rate at which the climate warms.C. It analyses the reasons for the decrease of peregrine falcons.D. It encourages attention to environmental effects on migratory birds.30. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. Researchers Help Conserve Migratory SpeciesB. Biologists Find Evidence of Migration Gene in BirdsC. How Long-term Memory Helps Long-distance MigrationD. How Ecological Factors Affect Birds' Migratory DistancesDSearch "toxic parents", and you'll find more than 38,000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one's mental health from abusive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst, I've seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (疏远) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.Research by Karl Pillemer, a professor at Cornell Universitv, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have become estranged from their families. I believe that's an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties."Canceling" your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging.Today's social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have—themselves—to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens.Often, what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend: situations with no winners, only isolated (孤独的) humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn't matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is "being left". They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust? How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human? Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can't be a single project of "self-help", because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement—and it's worth the work.31. Why do young people cut ties with the family?A. To gain an independent life.B. To restore harmony in the family.C. To protect their psychological well-being.D. To follow a tendency towards social justice.32. What does the underlined word "catch" in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Response.B. Problem.C. Operation.D. Emphasis.33. To manage family conflict, the author agrees that young adults should _________.A. break down boundariesB. gain power within the familyC. live up to their parents' expectationsD. accept imperfection of family members34.

But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases. The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices. 35The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks. 36 A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example. In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.37 It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to orderand promote nutritious foods. "We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption," says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, "Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products."Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city's crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. 38 Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines. 39 The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers' eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods.

They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.C. And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.D. The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.E.
