Eleven-year-old Allan Baltz of Jonesboro, Arkansas, is familiar with the foster (领养) care system. When he and his twin sister Alice were only four, they came to live with their foster parents Derek and Lesli Baltz.
Last fall when Allan got an opportunity to pay it forward, he made it count.
During the height of the 2021 shutdown, to keep their kids entertained at home, the family decided to switch up their hairstyles. Lesli dyed her hair red and Alice went blue. Derek tried out a mustache, and Allan went the craziest by growing out a long, beautiful mullet (胭脂鱼发型).
When friends pushed Allan to enter the USA Mullet Championships competition, Allan initially wasn’t interested because he thought he couldn’t win. However, once he learned there was a cash prize, he changed his tune.
“He instantly was like ‘Oh, OK. I can do it, and we’ll give the money to kids in foster care.” Lesli said. “He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t say, ‘I can get a bike, then give some money away.’ It was just instant that he wanted to give it away.”
After submitting his photo and following up with several weeks of campaigning, Allan took home the top prize in the kid’s division with more than 25, 000 votes in his favor.
He split his winnings between two local foster care organizations, Together We Foster and Project Zero, but his impact went far beyond just the $2,500 he donated. His giving heart inspired others to do the same, and he ended up raising an additional $4,500 for the two organizations.
“People also started volunteering … and donating,” Lesli said. “A few people that we know decided to start fostering because of Allan’s story. The way that people hear it and it inspires them to do something about the foster care crisis is really incredible.” Lesli said she couldn’t be prouder of Allan’s heart for helping others and feels truly lucky to be his mom.
4. What do the underlined words “pay it forward” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Spend plenty of money. B. Pass on love to others.
C. Pay for goods in advance. D. Win great popularity.
5. Why did Allan grow a mullet?
A. It was really a good way to have fun. B. It was an extremely popular hairstyle.
C. It was required for the competition. D. It was the craziest thing he’d ever done.
6. Which of the following words would be used to describe Allan?
A. Talented and decisive. B. Selfless and open-minded.
C. Generous and kind-hearted. D. Sensitive and sociable.
7. What was the influence of Allan’s donation of prize money?
A. It led to the donation totaling $4,500 in the end.
B. It inspired more people to get involved in foster care.
C. He helped to successfully solve foster care crisis.
D. He luckily won true love and admiration of Lesli.

这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述一个被领养的11岁小男孩参加胭脂鱼发型大赛，然后将获得的奖金全部捐给了寄养机构。
4. 词义猜测题。根据第一段“When he and his twin sister Alice were only four, they came to live with their foster parents Derek and Lesli Baltz.(当他和他的双胞胎姐姐Alice只有四岁时，他们去和养父母Derek和Lesli Baltz一起生活)”可知，Allan Baltz和双胞胎姐姐Alice从四岁开始被领养，一直与养父母生活在一起，得到许多关爱。从倒数第二段中“He split his winnings between two local foster care organizations(他把奖金分给了当地的两个寄养机构)”可知，Allan赢得比赛奖金全部捐给寄养机构，所以第二段承上启下。由此推知，此处为“Allan获得机会将爱传递”。故选B项。
5. 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“During the height of the 2021 shutdown, to keep their kids entertained at home, the family decided to switch up their hairstyles.(在2021年美国政府封锁的高峰期，为了让孩子们在家娱乐，这家人决定更换发型)”可知，疫情期间，为了找乐子，一家人开始创意他们的发型。故选A项。
6. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t say, ‘I can get a bike, then give some money away.’ It was just instant that he wanted to give it away.(他没有犹豫。他没有说，‘我可以买一辆自行车，然后捐点钱出去。’他立刻就想把它捐赠出去)”可知，Allan慷慨无私，且他为其他领养家庭考虑，有一颗帮助他人的心，所以他慷慨又好心。故选C项。
7. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“His giving heart inspired others to do the same, and he ended up raising an additional $4,500 for the two organizations.(他的慈善之心激励其他人也这样做，最终他为这两个组织又筹集了4500美元)”及最后一段中“A few people that we know decided to start fostering because of Allan’s story.(我们认识的一些人因为Allan的故事决定开始领养)”可知，Allan的捐助大大地鼓励了人们，许多人也开始参与志愿者活动或者捐助活动。故选B项。
Swimming is a wonderful thing for me — exercise, reflection and alone time. The only thing that can ruin a swim is when I shift my attention from my lane to what’s happening in the lanes next to me. I can catch myself racing the person next to me, or comparing our strokes.
Comparison is actually not an emotion. Researchers explain that comparing the self with others, either intentionally or unintentionally, is a common social phenomenon.
Comparison is the desire for consistency from one side and competition from the other — it’s trying to be like everyone else, but better. When we compare ourselves with others, we are ran king around a specific collection of “alike things”. I’m not swimming against Katie Ledecky’s times, I’m just interested in the stranger in the lane next to me. When we compare, we want to be the best of our group. It’s not be yourself and respect others for being genuine, but to win. I want to swim the same workout as you, and beat you at it.
In general, however, social comparisons are not associated with life satisfaction or the positive emotions of love and joy but are associated with the negative emotions of fear, anger, shame and sadness.
Here’s what makes all of this really tough: Many social psychologists consider social comparison something that happens to us. More often than not, we don’t even know we’re doing it. This lack of awareness can lead to us showing up in ways that are hurtful to ourselves and others.
So we get to choose how we’re going to let it affect us. My new strategy is to look at the person in the lane next to me, and say to myself, as if I’m talking to them, “Have a great swim.” That way, I acknowledge the inevitable and make a conscious decision to wish them well, and return to my swim. So far, it’s working pretty well.
8. What do we know about comparison?
A. It is nothing but an emotion. B. It is trying to be the true self.
C. It is to be different and be the best. D. It is to fit in and meanwhile to win.
9. What may be the author’s attitude to social comparison?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Favorable.
10. What is the feature of social comparison in the eyes of many psychologists?
A. Its unavoidability. B. Its emotional influence.
C. Its uncertainty. D. Its cultural root.
11. Why is swimming frequently mentioned in the text?
A. To present a social perspective on a sport issue.
B. To use it as an example to support an opinion.
C. To describe the right process of solving a problem.
D. To show love for sports with a personal experience.

本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了一种普遍的社会现象——攀比。
8. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers explain that comparing the self with others, either intentionally or unintentionally, is a common social phenomenon.(研究人员解释说，有意无意地将自己与他人比较是一种常见的社会现象)”和第三段“Comparison is the desire for consistency from one side and competition from the other — it’s trying to be like everyone else, but better.(比较是一方对一致性的渴望，另一方对竞争的渴望——它试图像其他人一样，但更好)”可知，比较是融入社会，同时取得胜利。故选D。
9. 判断推理题。根据第四段“In general, however, social comparisons are not associated with life satisfaction or the positive emotions of love and joy but are associated with the negative emotions of fear, anger, shame and sadness.(然而，一般来说，社会比较与生活满意度或爱和喜悦等积极情绪无关，但与恐惧、愤怒、羞耻和悲伤等消极情绪有关)”可知，攀比会产生负面情绪。下段还提到这种社会攀比心理不可避免地发生。所以推断作者对攀比的态度是批判的。故选A。
10. 细节理解题。根据第五段“Many social psychologists consider social comparison something that happens to us. More often than not, we don’t even know we’re doing it.(许多社会心理学家认为社会比较是发生在我们身上的事情)”可知，在许多心理学家看来，社会比较的特征是它的不可避免性。故选A。
11. 推理判断题。根据全篇可知作者讨论了攀比这一社会现象，分析了它的本质，特点，影响，以及就其不可避免性该如何应对的方法。全篇多处提到游泳，是用自己的经历当作例子生动形象地来证明观点。故选B。
A race is on in solar engineering to create almost impossibly-thin, flexible solar panels. Stanford University researchers announced they have achieved record efficiencies in a promising class of new materials — which can be thinner than a piece of paper.
According to the study published in the journal Nature Communications, it uses a new material called “transition metal dichalcogenides” (TMDs). They absorb incredibly high volumes of sunlight that reach their surface compared to other solar materials.
“Imagine an autonomous drone (无人机) that powers itself with a solar panel atop its wing that is less than six micrometers thick.” said Koosha Nassiri Nazif, co-lead author of the study.
Slimming down is necessary because the king of solar materials, silicon, is much too heavy, large and rigid for applications where flexibility, lightweight and high power are important and excellent.
While TMDs hold great promise, research experiments to date have struggled to change more than 2% of the sunlight they absorb into electricity. But the scientists believe they could practically reach 27% efficiency with electrical improvements. That would be comparable with today’s top solar panels, silicon included.
Nazif told Forbes that the new materials are great candidates for next-generation electronics and solar cells. Chipmakers like Intel and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company are already considering TMDs for their future technology. They could be used in a variety of mobile applications, including self-powered wearable devices and sensors, as well as giving a boost to lightweight airplanes and electric cars.
The ultra-thinness does come with engineering challenges, primarily in mass production. When transferring such a layer of TMD to a flexible, supporting material, the TMD layer is frequently damaged.
But the team thinks it is possible to overcome these challenges. Should they succeed, it could change solar power as we know it. “Silicon makes up 95 percent of the solar market today.” Nazif told Forbes. “This is why we aren’t seeing these applications for solar cells today; TMDs are going to change the landscape.”
12. What is the biggest advantage of TMDs now?
A. They have the quality of remarkable thinness.
B. They can efficiently turn sunlight into energy.
C. They are comparable to top silicon panels.
D. They have excellent ability to reflect sunlight.
13. What does Nazif stress in paragraph 6?
A. The appeal of TMDs to chipmakers. B. The expectation for future tech.
C. The wide applications of solar energy. D. The future prospects of TMDs.
14. What can we expect of new solar panels in the future?
A. They could power all mobile devices. B. They could be a competitive alternative.
C. They will revolutionize the energy market. D. They will be produced on a large scale soon.
15. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Most Efficient Solar Panels Have Hit the Market.
B. Stanford Scientists Develop a New Green Material.
C. TMDs Could Be Used for Lightweight Solar Panels.
D. Challenges Are to Be Overcome to Promote TMDs.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学的研究人员研究出一种新的超轻超薄太阳能材料TMDs，它可广泛应用于未来各种超轻设备，给太阳能市场带来翻天覆地的变化。
12. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Stanford University researchers announced they have achieved record efficiencies in a promising class of new materials — which can be thinner than a piece of paper.(斯坦福大学的研究人员宣布，他们在一类很有前景的新材料方面取得了创纪录的效率——这种材料可以比一张纸还薄。)”，第三段内容“Imagine an autonomous drone that powers itself with a solar panel atop its wing that is less than six micrometers thick.(想象一下，一架自主无人机通过机翼顶部厚度不到6微米的太阳能电池板为自己供电。)”可知，文章中着重强调了新材料TMDs的“薄”，由此可知，其最大的优势是其超薄性。故选A项。
13. 主旨大意题。分析第六段内容可知，第六段首句内容为该段的核心内容，“Nazif told Forbes that the new materials are great candidates for next-generation electronics and solar cells.(Nazif告诉《福布斯》，这种新材料是下一代电子产品和太阳能电池的最佳候选材料。)”，且在后文举出两个芯片公司的做法以及新材料可能被广泛应用的领域作为例证，因此，在该段中，Nazif强调了TMDs将成为下一代电子产品和太阳能电池的最佳候选材料，即TMDs的未来前景。故选D项。
14. 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Should they succeed, it could change solar power as we know it. ‘Silicon makes up 95 percent of the solar market today.’ Nazif told Forbes. ‘This is why we aren’t seeing these applications for solar cells today; TMDs are going to change the landscape.’(如果他们成功了，这可能会改变我们所知道的太阳能。“硅占当今太阳能市场的95%。”Nazif告诉《福布斯》。“这就是为什么我们今天看不到太阳能电池的这些应用；TMD将改变局面。”)”可知，当今市场由于硅占比95%，导致太阳能电池无法有一些更普及的应用，而TMDs的研发，将会使新的太阳能电池板应用有所改变，有更广泛的应用，由此可推知，新的太阳能电池板可能是一个有竞争力的选择。故选B项。
15. 主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章首段内容“Stanford University researchers announced they have achieved record efficiencies in a promising class of new materials — which can be thinner than a piece of paper.(斯坦福大学的研究人员宣布，他们在一类很有前景的新材料方面取得了创纪录的效率——这种材料可以比一张纸还薄。)”为主题句，即，文章主要强调了新太阳能材料TMDs的超轻超薄特点，选项C“TMDs Could Be Used for Lightweight Solar Panels.(TMDs可以用于轻型太阳能电池板。)”贴合主题。故选C项。

What They Found Inside an Old Sofa Bought for $20 Was Life-Changing
In 2021, SUNY students Reese Werkhoven, Lara Russ, and Cally Guasti were living together in a small apartment. They decided to furnish their apartment.
The three had gone to a Salvation Army store to buy a sofa, and were forced to settle for an old, rather smelly specimen that none of them really liked, but was the only one that was affordable and would fit in their living room. That day, as they were testing out their new purchase, they noticed that something was making a crinkling noise inside the cushions (垫子). Upon further investigation, they discovered a few bubble-wrapped envelopes inside the sofa.
When they opened the envelopes, they were in shock. A large amount of cash was inside. As they continued to pick apart the piece of furniture, they discovered more and more money. Guasti said, “Just when we thought we pulled out the last envelope, we’d find another $1,000 a few minutes later.”
After some time, the three roommates had unearthed a good $40,000 in cash. The fantasies of what they could do with all this money started flowing immediately.
However, they were quickly brought back to reality when they saw that there was a woman’s name on one of the envelopes. That was when the moral dilemma started — what to do? Keep the money for themselves, or try to find the owner?
The three consulted their parents for advice, and the next day, Werkhoven got a call from his mom. She had tracked down the mystery woman and found a phone number.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Werkhoven called the number his mom had given him, and an elderly woman picked up.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For 30 years, the money had remained safe inside the sofa.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Werkhoven called the number his mom had given him, and an elderly woman picked up. “Oh my God,” she cried when Werkhoven told her the story, “I left a lot of money in that sofa!” Later that day, the three friends drove to the woman’s house to return the money. As soon as they arrived, they discovered that the old woman recently lost her husband and lived alone, and that her sick husband had given her that money to provide for her after he passed away.
For 30 years, the money had remained safe inside the sofa. Then, she had to have a back operation, and while she was recovering, her daughter and son-in-law decided to get rid of the sofa, and so the old sofa was given to the Salvation Army store. The old lady completely forgot all about the money. When the three gave the money back to the old woman, she was so touched that she gave them $1,000 as a reward for their good deed. The friends couldn’t have been happier with their choice.
