They grew up, moved away, and became successful. They remained friends and shared an aim. The aim was to help boys aged 9 to 13 in their old neighborhood. They wanted to act as role models for young boys and to stop them from getting into trouble as they got older.They called their program The Elephant Men after reading how elephant families in Africa surround and protect their young when they are in danger. Reginald and Robert’s program supports the young men in inner cities who are at risk of losing their lives to drugs. Their idea is “protecting our youth with the power and belief of the elephant”.They look for different ways for young men to build respect for themselves and others. One way is to use sports, especially basketball, to bring them together. Another successful program is a four-week summer work program that includes more than 100 young boys. The boys pick up rubbish across the city in exchange for a $200 gift card with which they can buy school clothes. To be part of the program, the boys have to get a reference (介绍信) from an adult at their school who is willing to write something good about them. This gives the boys a reason to do well in school.“We know our program works,” says Reginald. “We have some kids in college now and the best day of the year for us is the weekend before school starts, when we see our boys in the stores buying their clothes and books for school.”4．What did Reginald and Robert hope to do?A．Be good examples for boys.B．Leave their hometown.C．Run their own business.D．Become well-known.5．Why is the program called The Elephant Men?A．It is the name of a book.B．It is based on a true story.C．It aims to protect the elephant.D．It has the same spirit as the elephant. 6．What do the boys need to do to be part of the summer work program?A．Buy clothes.B．Raise $200 for school to buy gifts.C．Collect rubbish.D．Get a recommendation from the school. 7．How does Reginald feel about The Elephant Men program?A．Grateful.B．Satisfied.C．Puzzled.D．Worried.The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths toachieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.8．Why do Human brains remember negative things more easily?A．Because negative things tend to affect human survival immediatelyB．Because negative things are easy to rememberC．Because negative things are much more important than other thingsD．Because negative things can make people live much happier9．According to this passage, in which of the following can people not find happiness?A．making friends B．doing sports C．playing the violin D．chasing power 10．In the last paragraph, what does author try to tell us?A．We should think more about our future.B．We should be positive in our life and work.C．We should focus on everything in our life.D．We should only enjoy the present moment.11．What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A．Why people remember positive things easily.B．Why people remember negative things easily.C．Some habits that make people happy.D．The habits the people form in their life.The Suez Canal (苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea (地中海) and the Red Sea, opened in 1869. It helps speed world trade between the East and the West. But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things, such as non-native species, which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.The number of non-native species has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015. The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in many Mediterranean countries.Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years. She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “movingaquarium” of species. These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings. Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400, which is twice the number from 30 years ago.Scientists in Mediterranean countries from Turkey, Tunisia to Lebanon share the same concern. But some Egyptians don’t consider the environmental concerns as serious. They said only 5% of the invaders are a problem and that invasive species can be helpful by “replacing species that are overfished”. They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species; they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.The Suez Canal Authority runs the canal. Canal officials say they are closely watching the movements of sea species. They say they are requiring ships to take action to avoid carrying species from one side of the canal to the other. And they are trying to keep salt levels high in the Bitter Lakes to block invasive species out. Galil, however, questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species. “One day we will wake up to a complete and irreversible (不可逆的) change and know that there was something we could have done about it, if only it had been done on time,” she said.12．What does the first paragraph show?A．Seeing is believing.B．Man will conquer nature.C．Let nature take its course.D．Every coin has two sides.13．What does Galil say about the “New Suez Canal”?A．Its environment is worsening.B．It connects Mediterranean countries.C．It is widened to include more species.D．It is to protect endangered native species. 14．What do some Egyptians disagree on?A．The results of overfishing.B．The decrease of native species.C．The cause of the increase in invasive species.D．The meaning of the widening of the Suez Canal.15．What is Galil’s attitude to the Suez Canal Authority’s action?A．Uninterested.B．Doubtful.C．Supporting.D．Understanding.二、七选五For someone who enjoys gardening, gifts for their garden can be very thoughtful and appreciated by them. They can be tools to make gardening easier. Or they can be decorations (装饰品) to make a garden more attractive. 16High quality garden tools can make excellent garden gift ideas. These may be designed with flowers or other gardening pictures on them, or they may be personalized for the gift receiver. Any user-friendly tools for gardeners can be a useful gift. 17Decorations for the garden are some of the more popular garden gift ideas. Animals and small sculptures (雕塑) are generally a good choice. They look good with most types of garden decoration. 18 If a gardener already has a certain style of decoration in his/her garden, try to buy something that fits that style.19 There are many ideas to be found online — using items such as old wine bottles to create lights, for example. The gift receiver will certainly appreciate the time it took to make a gift by hand.Some garden gifts can be very useful. If you know the gift receiver likes birds, for example, you might choose to buy a bird feeder or birdbath for the garden. A stone bench is a more expensive yet very nice gift for a garden as well. 20 These gifts show that you’re really thoughtful.A．That’s why they enjoy gardening.B．Here are some great garden gift ideas.C．It allows gardeners to rest when they’re tired.D．No matter what you buy, they will be appreciated.E．Making something for the garden in person is a nice idea.F．A gardening bag to store these tools can also be a great idea.G．Consider the design of the garden before buying any gifts for it.三、完形填空I spent all of my 30s saying yes.

Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.DISASTER SHELTERSOver 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.16．The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.A．increase family incomeB．make full use of farm wasteC．get free and plentiful cooking fuelD．protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke17．What are the features of disaster shelters?A．Light and affordable.B．Heavy and recyclable.C．Big and comfortable.D．Small and breakable.18．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain design methods.B．To introduce new inventions.C．To report research findings.D．To advertise latest products.Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at theOrganization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.19．How did the author feel about taking care of his brother?A．Tired.B．Joyful.C．Proud.D．Stressed.20．The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.A．use and improve his childcare skillsB．create a friendly neighborhoodC．change the lives of other kidsD．get some work experience21．With the author’s help, Matthew finally could ________.A．control his emotions B．play with his friendsC．poop in the toilet D．stand in the pool22．According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”?A．His large size and strong body.B．His experience and knowledge.C．His patience and trust in Matthew.D．His willingness to take care of his brother.At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken intoconsideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age. 23．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because_______.A．they fail to realize the importance of skillsB．they don’t have the necessary skills in drivingC．certain areas in their brains are not fully developedD．their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions24．What can we learn from the passage?A．Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.B．Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.C．How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.D．Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.25．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A．single-sex education may benefit teenagersB．the time when school starts should be put offC．lawmakers will lower the minimum driving ageD．the number of subjects in school might be changed26．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．Age and the Brain B．Genders and the BrainC．Mapping the Brain D．The Developing Brain三、阅读表达阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，完成对该问题的回答。

A novel.Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were used to their robotic farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will (意愿) to try something new, except for one girl named Jo. Very few could read or write, and Jo was one of them.One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her explorations in the forest, she came upon an abandoned cottage (废弃的小屋). Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandonedbooks! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasu re.She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter!

Making this her mission (使命), Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage.In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories.

The Power of Stories in Challenging DifficultiesD. Jo’s Adventure: Unearthing an Abandoned CottageMacquarie Island is a tiny island that’s part of Australia. It’s about half way between New Zealand and Antarctica. The island’s been made a world heritage area because it’s so untouched, but this unique environment is under threat from some unwanted visitors.It all started when seal hunters came to the island in the early 1800s. They brought rabbits with them as a source of food for the journey, and also on board the ships were rats and mice, which made their way onto the island too. They’re being blamed for destroying thephotos show.So what’s being done about the problem? It starts with a team of helicopters that fly across the island carrying these giant containers. Inside them are poisoned pellets (有毒饲料) which are dropped and spread across the island. For any rabbits that survived the baiting (诱饵) , there’s a plan B. This special team of dogs is being put through a final training. It’ll be their job to track down any remaining rabbits. They have to also learn to behave around the isl and’s native wildlife. The dogs could be here for years or until the task is complete. The dogs don’t actually kill the rabbits. They find them, then the hunters decide to either catch the rabbits or shoot them.But the program has received a bit of criticism. Some people argue 25 million dollars is a lot of money to be spending on wiping out rabbits and rodents (啮齿目动物), and in the process, some native birds will be killed because of the baiting.The reality is the problem isn’t going to be solved overnight. The people running the program say that even if one pair of rabbits is left alive, the whole task will be seen as a failure, which means these guys could be here for a long time, trying to ensure that this precious island remains protected from pests.8．Who are these unwanted visitors?A. Seal hunters.B. Marine wildlife.C. Native birds.D. Foreign species.9．What do the underlined words “ripping up” mean in paragraph 2?A. Advancing.B. Destroying.C. DividingD. Balancing10．What is being done to solve the problem of unwanted visitors on Macquarie Island?A. Poisoned pellets are being dropped on the island from helicopters.B. A team of hunters is being trained to catch or shoot rabbits.C. Native birds are being protected from the unwanted visitors.D. A special team of dogs is being sent to kill the rabbits.11．What is the goal of the program?A. To spend as little money as possible.B. To protect native birds from the unwanted visitors.C. To ensure that no pair of rabbits survive on the island.D. To train dogs to track down the rabbits on the island.On one side of the room sits a lovely life-size stuffed animal (毛绒玩具) you’ve ever seen. On the other side rests a real rabbit the same size, shape and even the same name as the stuffed version. You get to sit next to both of them and pet their fur. Guess which one will make your brain light up?If you guessed the real rabbit, you’re right. Stuffed animals, as lovely as they may be, just don’t supercharge (对……增压) our frontal cortex, the part of the brain managing how we think and feel, according to a new study published in the journal Plos One.Why is this finding important? “It provides additional evidence that live human-animal interactions may increase cognitive (认知的) and emotional activity in the brain. If patients with problems in motivation, attention, and socioemotional functioning show higher emotional involvement in activities connected to a rabbit, then such activities could increase the chance of learning and of achieving healing aims,” said the l eading author of the study, Rahel Marti, a doctoral student in the division of clinical psychology and animal-assisted treatment at the University of Basel in Switzerland.Researchers used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in the study, which is a portable brain scanner that provides flexibility since it’s functional in natural settings and not limited to a closed room in a lab.The study team fitted each of the 19 participants with the scanner and asked them to observe and interact with one of the three live rabbits. First, participants watched the rabbit from across the room. Then the rabbit sat next to them. Finally, each person was allowed to pet the rabbit. This process occurred twice more at later dates.In other sessions, each person repeated the same sequence with a stuffed rabbit that contained a hot water bottle to make it have the exactly same body temperature of a live rabbit. In each of the sessions, brain activity rose as the live rabbit or the stuffed one moved closer.However, the study found an even stronger increase in brain activity when the person petted the fur of a real rabbit than the stuffed animal.“Positive non-verbal signals and interactions provided by a living animal could in part explain this difference,” said Dr. Tiff any Braley, an associate professor at the University of Michigan.12．How does the author develop the first paragraph?A. By giving an example.B. By using previous data.C. By making a comparison.D. By offering a choice question. 13．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. Humans are more willing to interact with real rabbits.B. Live human-animal interactions prove to have healing effects.C. Only activities connected to a rabbit can help keep brain healthy.D. Rabbits have been used for treating psychological problems for years.14．What can we learn about fNIRS from the text?A. It is a brain scanner fitted on rabbits.B. It can change its size and shape easily.C. It allows the study to be conducted outside a lab.D. It ensures the accuracy of the results of the study.15．What can we infer from Tiffany Braley’s words?A. Lack of interactions with the stuffed animal does harm to the brain.B. Positive reactions given by the living animals can make the brain light up.C. It’s impossible to expl ain why there are different results of the two experiments.D. Children playing with a pet are sure to be happier than those with stuffed animals.二、七选五16．How satisfied are you with your life? How good do you feel every day? Your answers to those two questions can show how happy you are.It’s true that your happiness is partly affected by your genes. ①________ According to experts, happiness is a choice.

The mRNA vaccines she helped develop have saved millions of lives and helped the world find a way out of the worst of the pandemic.That remarkable woman is Professor Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-American biochemist, who together with her colleague American immunologist Drew Weissma, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking work on the development of mRNA-based vaccines.Born in 1955 in Hungary, Professor Karikó had a childhood marked by hardship.

These four human capabilities can be found in most of our daily activities, at personal, social and business level. Having a tool can definitely improve our capabilities.As any tool we invented, it robs us of something: While AI has increased human strength and required fewer resources, it reduces the need for a single person to be “strong”! We have plenty of examples of complains from the past towards the appearance of new tools.Plato, the great Greek philosopher, once reported in his dialogues of concerns raised by the use of writing, a tool that would have robbed people from their capabilities to memorize, since memories could be shifted to writings on parchment (羊皮纸). Therefore, in a way, there is nothing really new in our reaction to this new tool.The opportunities offered, however are huge, and as for previous invented tools, the time will soon come when we will no longer have an option to use or not use AI.The IBM Global AI Adoption Report based on 2022 data point s out that only 1 company in 5 is not using or planning to use AI. According to McKinsey and Gartner, the two most well-known consulting (咨询) companies, most medium and large companies are already using AI and by the end of this decade all will be using it as an integral part of their activity support. In other words, by the end of this decade, there will be two kind of companies, those using AI and those that are out of business.8．According to the author, what has AI done for us?A. Rob us of some resources.B. Reduce personal strengths.C. Improve our capabilities.D. Make decisions for humans.9．Why is Plato mentioned in the passage?A.

To make sure that people understand the importance of new inventions.10．What does IBM Global AI Adoption Report show?A. Only large companies will use AI.B. Mckinsey and Gartner are already using AI.C. Most companies are using or planing to use AI.D. There will be two kinds of companies in ten years.11．Which one is a suitable title for this text?A. Why Should We Use AI?B. Where Is AI Leading Us?C. What Should We Do with AI?D. To Use or Not to use AI, It’s a Question.On the side of the road in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve in northwest China's Qinghai Province, you might see a chubby wolf wagging its tail, rolling on the ground in front of the passing cars in hopes of getting a meal. However, it was skin and bones a few months ago. It is said that the old starving wolf was kicked out of the wolf pack because of its poor hunting ability. But that all changed after a passing driver gave it two pies and posted a video of it online in July, which has made the wolf popular, with people rushing to the area to provide it with food.Since then, the wolf has given up its hunting instinct(本能) and turned to passers-by for snacks that are high in oil, sugar and salt, such as pies, roasted chicken and sausages. Subsequently, more wolves have joined this behavior. The wolfs change has led many netizens to find humor as they are actually acting like pet dogs. However, the change means that it is losing its ability to survive in nature, which is extremely dangerous to wild animals.“Wolves are part of the food web in the ecosystem, and as people continue to feed them, their habits will change, which will disrupt their role in the ecosystem and affect the stability of the ecosystem,” said Qi Xinzhang, deputy head of the Xining Wildlife Park in the province.Although wolves sit near the top of the food web, their kill rate is only 14 percent. They don't eat every day. Instead, they live a life of feast or famine, and hunger is their norm.So far, some parts of the country have enacted laws and regulations prohibiting the feeding of wild animals. Shanghai municipal government implemented regulations on October 1 this year, prohibiting the feeding of wild animals. On October 16, a newly revised wildlife protection law in southwest China's Sichuan Province made it clear that feeding anddriving away wild animals are prohibited while observing and photographing them. 12．Why was the wolf kicked out of the wolf pack?A. His old age.B. His skinny body.C. His poor hunting ability.D. His popularity on the Internet.13．Why shouldn't tourists feed wild animals?A. Because wild animal may attack humans.B. Because wild animals don't like the food.C. Because wild animals don't have to eat everyday.D. Because feeding wild animals will affect the ecosystem.14．What do we know about wolves from this passage?A. They live like dogs.B. They can always find something to eat.C. They are at the bottom of food chain.D. They don’t often succeed in hunting. 15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People are taking actions to protect wild animals.B. People shouldn't observe and photograph wild animals.C. Laws are newly introduced to protect wild animals recently.D. People can feed wild animals outside Shanghai and Sichuan.二、七选五16．We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones.

When I graduated from college and moved lo Washington DC, I left all of my friends behind. There were no new roommates. I was on my own and felt lonely. Home-cooked meals were my best attempt at changing my condition.So, I started calling my mom and asking for the recipes (食谱) for my favorite dishes. It turned out that my mom didn’t have any recipes. She couldn’t give me a single measurement (计量) for any dish. She grew up in the kitchen with her mom too, and my grandma shared her knowledge through oral (口头的) tradition. Then it was my turn. My mom taught me how to “measure with my heart” when cooking. I learned to cook by tasting and feeling my food. And my food was pretty good. Soon enough, everyone was asking me for the recipes. That was why Bun Bo Bae, my cookingblog, came into being in 2019.Bun Bo Bae was a space for me to put what I learned into writing. I didn’t want all of the secret knowledge behind dishes like my mom’s noodles and my dad’s tomato soup to disappear if the oral tradition ended one day. I wanted to write down every piece of advice I was given in detail.These days, I experiment more. I’m not as strict with myself about recreating the dishes exactly as I remember about eating them. I use seasonal food materials when I can’t find some items. My food blog and flower count grew, and so did my confidence in the kitchen.Bun Bo Bae also increased my confidence at work and gave me a space to write about what I love. It has connected me to countless new Internet friends.Most importantly, writing for Bun Bo Bae has taught me that celebrating my culture doesn’t have to be about perfectly recreating my parents’ tradition. It’s about mixing what I’ve been taught with my own experiences, and cooking up something entirely new.4. Why did the author begin her home-cooked mealsA. To lead a healthy lifestyle.B.

CA group of middle-aged dads formed a dance team to perform at their kids’ school but unexpectedly gained popularity on social media, having over 300,000 followers—one of them is famous actor Hugh Jackman. The “Outta” Puff Daddys first came together in 2012 in Brighton for a surprise performance at their children’s annual dance show.Having never danced professionally before and ranging in age from 42 to 60, the dads were taught by their kids’ street dance teacher for the surprise performance. They received a good reception, so they decided to carry on permanently.Paul Jukes 48, said dancing together has enabled the members to get through unemployment and anxiety. “Even though I’m the leader and artistic director of the team, I’m not normally the most confid ent guy.” said Jukes, whose team name is Jukebox. “If we’re in a party situation, we’re off at the side, but when we’re together those inhibitions (拘束感) are lost, and we just accept life to the fullest.”The dance team members remember the moment when they surprised their kids at the dance show. “We performed at the Brighton Dome which seats 2,000 people, so for our first live dance performance, it was quite something. We took the roof off,” Jukes said. “The noise was crazy and of course, the kids in the au dience were blown away. They were shouting, ”Hang on a second; that’s your dad.“ Most people might think our kids would be embarrassed by us but none of them had that feeling. All our families and kids were really supportive and really loved it. And it has been considered cool by them to have such a large following on Instagram.”The team has to adapt to its members’ changing bodies as they get older, but that has not stopped them from continuing to dream big. “We take care of and support each other to make sure what we do is achievable,” said Jukes. “One of our members is 60 years old now and he’s just excellent.”8. What is special about the dance teamA. Its members are inexperienced.B. It helps with school dance instruction.C. It regularly posts videos on social media.D. Its members are guided by famous dancers.9. How has the dance team influenced Paul JukesA. It has inspired him to take up new hobbies.B. It has improved his health and leadership skills.C. It has strengthened his relationship with his family.D. It has helped him build confidence in a difficult time.10. How did the kids respond to their dads’ dance performanceA. They were amazed and proud of their dads.B. They were embarrassed but showed understanding.C. They considered following Jukebox on social media.D. They joined their dads to complete the performance together.11. Which of the following is the best title for the textA. Dancing is beneficial to people of all agesB. Talented dadscelebrate their kids’ interestC. Middle-aged dads prove age is just a numberD. A dance team is winning popularity among adultsDSome educators are trying to engage(吸引) students’ attention with technology, such as educational videos, computer gaming and AI just to name a few. But using these methods in the classroom can be very challenging. Teachers using these tools often struggle to keep students focusing on the materials, competing with the latest social media, and can feel limited by using them to get some knowledge across. Graphic novels(图画小说) offering visual information married with text provide a means to engage students in the classroom.Educators have used this method in their teaching. For example, instead of filling out problem sheets, students in a math class were asked to read a mystery called Who Killed Professor X In this story, all of the suspects(嫌疑人)are famous mathematicians. As they tried to figure out the connections between the suspects, students often forgot that they were doing math focusing instead of finding secret details to solve the problem. Although this is just one experience for these students, it improves their confidence and shows them how math can be fun.Jason Ho, an assistant professor at Dordt University, uses Max the Demon Vs Entropy of Doom to teach his physics students about a topic. This topic can be particularly difficult for some students because they can’t physically touch something. Ho said graphic novels can create an engaging learning environment, and most of his students now understand the subject by getting clear explanations for some ideas.Although the Internet offers a lot of math and physics resources, it can be tiring to search through many hours of videos to find the perfect one to get the “aha!” moment in learning. Graphic novels provide a staring point with a wide range of topics. Want to learn about programming Try the Secret Coders series. Need more female role models in science Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier could be just what you're looking for.With all that graphic novels offered, we believe that the right set of graphic novels can inspire future scientists as much as any single person can.12. What problem are some teachers faced withA Teaching students to learn self-control.B. Helping students gain high-tech knowledge.C. Holding students’ attention with technology.D. Controlling the bad influence of social media.13. What is mentioned about graphic novels in Paragraph 2A. They are mainly designed for students.B. They can make learning more enjoyable.C. They require students to learn through performance.D. They lead students to work hard on problem sheets.14. What is probably Jason Ho’s attitude towards teaching with graphic novelsA. Positive.B. Doubtful.C. Negative.D. Curious.15. What is considered the advantage of graphic novels over Internet resourcesA. They allow reading anytime and anywhere.B. They introduce many role models to students.C. They are more attractive with wonderful pictures.D. They enable students to quickly find suitable materials.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。
