When you get ready to choose your natural shampoo (洗发水), make sure you read the label. It should never contain more than nine ingredients,(成份). Otherwise, it is more likely to have harmful artificial ingredients. Some products state that they’re organic, but this isn't always true. Try to find the following natural ingredients.
*Coconut oil and Aloe Vera: These are known to stimulate the growth of hair by keeping your head skin moisturized (湿润):
*Organic Shea Butter: This will enhance the natural color and shine of your hair.
*Beta Glucan: This has immune enhancing qualities that will start relieving your irritated(受刺激的)skin cells.
*Organic Tea Tree oil: This contains antiseptic (防腐剂)properties that will help maintain the; heath of your skin by preventing any skin irritants. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Keeping your hair beautiful, hick, and healthy is important. With natural hair care products, there are many different varieties that you can choose from. Make sure you do your research and pick out an option that's going to be best for your hair: whether it's already thick, whether it's thinning, whether you're losing hair, or whether you're trying for a stronger look.
There are many reasons you should look for natural hair care products instead of choosing artificial options. There are also many places where you can buy them. If you care about your hair and want to promote hair growth while decreasing the number of chemicals that go into your hair, then you should look into purchasing more natural options. You won't be disappointed.

22. What ingredient may ensure shining color of your hair according to the text?

It seems that every week we find out someone broke into a big company's databases—like the recent Equifax data breach (违规)—and made off with millions of credit card numbers, passwords and other valuable information. And now a new kind of worry: someone could seize control of your wireless home network and steal your information from under your nose.
That's the possibility raised by a couple of cyber security researchers from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. The problem, they say, is a weakness in the very protocol meant to make wi-fi secure. That protocol is called Wi-Fi Protected Access II, WPA2. And WPA2's weakness could allow an attacker within physical range of your wi-fi network to make a copy of that network that they could then control. The researchers call their approach a key reinstallation attack, or KRACK.
It's important to know that KRACK attack remains a possibility for now. The senits realized the threat while investigating wireless security. They’ll present this research on November 1st at the Computer and Communications Security (CCS) conference in Dallas and in December at the Black Hat Europe conference in London.
In their KRACK assumption, wireless devices would be fooled into connecting to the false network. And the attacker would be able to access all of the information that devices send and receive while connected to that network—even if that information has been coded. Android and Linux would be especially easy to attack because of how their encryption keys (密钥) are configured (设定).
One measure of protection against such an attack would be to make sure they you've install(安装)the most up-to-date versions of your apps, browsers and wireless router software. Updated software is most likely to include the security patches (补丁) needed to avoid falling victim to a KRACK attack, because chances are that KRACK won't remain simply a proof-of concept for long.
24. What are home Internet users concerned about now?
A. Their Internet may be disconnected. B. Their credit cards might be inaccessible.
C. Their home network might be destroyed. D. Their personal information might be stolen.
25. How can the attacker take advantage of the WPA 2's weakness?
A. By installing a key. B. By approaching physical range.
C. By copying and controlling the network. D. By controlling the Internet users.
26. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. The false network contributes little to such attack.
B. If coded, the information will be free from danger.
C. Android is easy to attack for lack of encryption keys.
D. All of the information m
27. What can people do to protect against KRACK attack?
A. Purchase the best-quality apps. B. Keep the proof of KRACK long.
D. Install the latest relevant software. C. Ignore the patches of the computers

Working at a desk all day may not be as bad for your health as sitting in front of a television after work. That is a finding of a new study done in the United States. It also suggests that not all forms of sitting are equally bad.
Jeanette Garcia works as a researcher at the University of Central Florida in Orlando and she led the study. “We've been hearing more and more about how siting is the new smoking." she said. She added that other evidence suggests a relationship between health problems and time spent sitting.
“However, it's bee unclear whether all sitting is created equal, suggesting that as long as you reduce any type of sitting, then that’s helpful in improving health,” she added.
“This study suggests that this may not be the case, and that we should focus more on leisure time sitting, mainly television viewing time, rather than other sitting, in general.”
The study followed close to 3,600 African-American adults. Almost one third of them watched TV for more than four hours a day. A little more than one third of the subjects spent between two and four hours a day sitting in front of the TV. The remaining third watched TV for less than two hours a day. Researchers followed the group for an average of 8.4 years. During the study, 205 of the subjects died and 129 others suffered a heart attack or stroke (中风)。
Compared to people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who spent more than four hours in front of the TV were 49 percent more likely to die or have a heart attack or stroke.
But the undesirable health effects of watching TV appeared to be limited to adults who failed to get the recommended amount of weekly exercise. That is around 150 minutes of mild physical activity or 75 minutes of strong exercise every week.
The study had some limitations, however. Lin Yang, another researcher, says that sitting in front of the TV might be worse than sitting at a desk because people snack while watching TV. Some people simply stay up too late and do not get enough sleep.
“Eating treats or lack of sleep could both cause weight gain and increase risk factors for heart disease. These factors could make people more likely to die early," she added.
28. What can we learn from Jeanette Garcia's study?
A. All forms of sitting are equally bad.
B. Less sitting helps to improve health.
C. Sitting long has the same effect as smoking.
D. Health problem has much to do with working at a desk.
29. Which of the following will cause people to have the highest life risks?
A. Watching TV long and snacking.
B. Reading in the study for four hours a day.
C. Failing to get recommended amount of exercise.
D. Having 75 minutes of strong exercise every week.
30. What should an adult do to reduce the high risk of life?
A. Go on diets. B. Take enough exercise.
C. Stay up late. D. Eat treats while sitting.

Consider a tale of two Army veterans (退伍军人)，Jeff served two terms in Afghanistan, moved home to the Midwest, graduated from college and landed a secure job in a firm. Matt fought alongside Jeff, left the Amy at the same time and headed home to North Carolina. By the time he was in his 30, though, Matt was unemployed and dependent on government checks.
Why did Jeff develop so well while Matt lost his civilian footing? The answer, according to Daniel M. Gade, a retired office, and Daniel Huang, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)—in particular, its strong disability system.
In their convincing description, the authors show in detail how a well-intended system can unintentionally lead fragile veterans, step by step, away from the worlds of work and community. The path typically starts just before separation from the service. Soldiers meet with VA representatives who emphasize opportunities to collect disability compensation (补偿). Jeff, for example, wanted to “get out and get on” with his life, while Matt took the VA agent's advice “and applied for every condition he could think of.”
Mat's career plan had been to attain an ideal job in law enforcement (执行), but the field was highly competitive. So he took a job with his dad's construction company. But the physical damage of the job was too much for his knees and back. Deeply depressed, now out of work and living in his parents' home, Matt tried college but felt unbearable. Meanwhile, anxious about his future, he kept applying for higher disability ratings—receiving, eventually, a monthly tax-free check over $3,000.
For many partially or fully disabled veterans, PTSD (创伤应急障碍) is their primary diagnosis (诊断). The condition, can be very weak, but it is also treatable. A psychologist told the authors that, when it comes to PTSD, the agency “has been doing harm to millions of veterans by telling them that they're disabled.”
In Matt's case, remarkably, even after the VA determined him to be “housebound,” it didn't
mandate (强制执行) treatment. “The natural athlete who had conquered his fear of heights to excel as an airborne (空降的) soldier," the authors write, "had become a disabled man one year later.” The VA's record on treatment in general looks poor: More veterans today, relative to their overall numbers, are compensated for disabilities than ever before in the VA's history. Under 0.1% of the veterans who receive disability benefits for mental disorders have their benefits reduced over time because their condition has improved.
31. What's the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To lead to the topic. B. To give examples.
C. To clarify opinions. D. To introduce two veterans.
32. Why did Matt fall into the difficult situation according to Daniel M. Gade and Daniel Huang?
A. He depended too much on VA. B. He didn't fight as bravely as Jeff.
C. He didn't benefit from the system. D. He was unwilling to work in a firm.
33. What does the underlined expression probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A. To follow the VA Agent's advice.
B. To stay away from work and community.
C. To leave the army and get along well with other veterans.
D. To earn his own living rather than apply for compensation.
34. What attitude did Matt take facing his present situation?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.
35. Why did the airborne soldier become a disabled man?
A. He failed to conquer his fear. B. The AV made the false diagnosis.
C. He didn't get enough compensation. D. The VA didn’t provide proper service.

Advantages of Solar Power
As the name suggests, solar power makes the most of the sunlight and is put to good use for its users. Despite some disadvantages, the advantages of it are so great that they cannot be ignored. In short, solar electricity system is an excellent addition to other conventional sources of energy. 36
A solar panel system, when coupled to your electric function, can sufficiently reduce or even cancel your electric bill, yet providing you with the option of using traditional power whenever needed. 37 It is simple to operate as well and this is another advantage. Just ensure that you have the right technology in terms of space use and performance.
But perhaps the most widely well- known advantage of solar power is that this is green energy. 38 This is a great advantage in today's world where we need to be concerned about the high levels of pollution and global warming. Let us all take some responsibility and do something that can clean up our atmosphere to some extent at least. So while on the one hand solar power is clean, on the other hand, it can also greatly reduce the electricity bill of the users.
39 So if you are thinking in terms of installing a solar electric system in your home or commercial property, you should go ahead and do it by all means.
And the best news is that the solar power system can be built in your house itself._ 40 That is why you need a brochure that can tell you all about these issues.
A. So it is time to take action. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
B. You can not ignore the advantages mentioned above.
C. When referred to, solar energy is perhaps the best power in the world.
D. Also, the flexible system allows you to use it on a wide range of applications.
E. But you need to know how and where to make it, where to get the parts affordably etc.
F. This power does not cause any pollution, which is why it is such an attraction to many.
G. Here are some of the advantages of equipping a solar power system in your home or office.

What springs to mind when you think of kung fu, also known as wushu?
Recently, Laurence J Brahm, a documentary filmmaker from the United States, explored this question Searching for Kung Fu. in the movie, Brahm embarked(开启)on 56 kung fu pilgrimage(朝圣之旅) 57 (travel) to city in China and the US in search of the origin and value of kung fu.
Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who 58 (devote) himself to the practice for more than 40 years. For him, pursuing this skill was more than a pastime (消遣) Around a decade ago, Brahm 59 (have) a great difficulty in using one of his legs for about two years 60 had to walk with a cane(拐技). But by practising kung fu he was able to recover step by step. Now, it has become a daily routine for him and also the way he greets the day.
Chinese kung fu is full of wonderful Chinese philosophy and core values. Nonviolence is one of these values, 61 is shown both in the name and the practice. Kung fu artists always salute (致敬) with baoquan. This lets each person know there are no 62 (hide) weapons and shows trust. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Brahm’s 63 (appreciate) of kung fu is clear. He sees it as "a mirror of Chinese cuture”.“The 64 (tradition) values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of al Chinese people.

The shiny black sports car sat at the traffic lights. The driver's window was down, and the driver was wearing a suit and dark sunglasses. It was an expensive car. Thomas Campbell knew that because he used to have one. But now he was sitting on a bench. which had served as his bed for the previous few nights, with no more than a pocket full of change to his name. The lights changed, the car sped off and Thomas sighed. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
It had all happened in the space of a year. He was laid off from his well-paid job when the economy took a tum for the worse. Although he was paid handsomely, he lived a lifestyle to match and always spent any raise or bonus on expensive but unnecessary things. Losing his job put pressure on his marriage and his wife left. Then he couldn’t make his mortgage (货款)repayments. A few weeks later he found himself in a cheap hotel and a few months after that, in a sleeping bag under a bridge downtown.
As Thomas walked in the streets late that night, he thought about the man in the car and about whether he could improve his life again. He had grown up quite poor, so was used to not having much, but living outside was hard. Perhaps the hardest thing was how differently people treated him now when he didn’t have a suit or haircut. They often said negative things. Even worse than that was just treating him as invisible. Once he walked past someone he used to work with, they looked through him like he weren’t there, and it made him feel less than a human,
Then as he turned a comer, he heard the cries of a child from a second-storey window. He could see a little girl with a thick plume (缕) of smoke surrounding her, He looked about but no one was nearby. He shouted to the girl, but she was crying and coughing and couldn’t hear him, Then he heard another cry from inside. It was a baby.
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。

Dear fellow students,
I feel greatly honored to speak here about the topic “Cherish our food”.
When dining out, we often order too much food. While in school canteen, we can find much food left on the table. Some students are always throwing leftovers into the dustbin. However, there is never enough food for the world and every grain is priceless. What’s worse, many are suffering from starvation, especially in poor areas.
Treasuring food is a Chinese traditional virtue. As we know, every grain comes after hard work. Let’s cherish food and do it from now.
That’s all. Thank you.

Thomas looked for a way into the burning building. The main entrance was locked so he pulled himself up onto the fire escape. He climbed to the second floor and over to the window. The smoke was thick, and the windows were cracking from the heat. He grabbed the little girl and put her on the fire escape. Then he climbed into the room and picked the baby up in his arms. He carried them down to the street before the fire engine arrived. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
People gather across the street and they cheered for him. The children’s mother hugged him with tears in his eyes. Because of this brave action, the front page of the local paper called him “Homeless Hero”. Then he was contacted by a company that offered him a job to help him get back on his feet. Thomas Campbell did not feel invisibly any more. Every time Thomas thought back to this incident, he couldn’t help thinking, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

A new study found that math and reading test results for America's nine-year-olds greatly fell during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The National Center for Education Statistics is part of the U.S. Education Department. It found that reading test results saw their largest decrease in 30 years. It also found that math test results had their first decrease in the history of the kind of testing under study.
The study found that in math, the average test result for nine-year-old students fell seven percentage points between 2020 and 2022. The average reading test result fell five points.
Much of the nation's standardized testing did not happen during the early days of the pandemic. So, the findings released Thursday gave an early look at the effects the pandemic had on learning. More data is expected to be released later this year as part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
The study shows the difficulties in education as U.S. schools shut down for months at a time during the pandemic. Many students spent a year or more learning at home. And the virus breaks out among school workers and students continued to have bad influence on learning as students returned to the classroom.
