For the past 18 years, Deng Xiaolan worked as a volunteer teacher in a village called Malan in Fuping, Hebei Province. Born in 1943, Deng was raised by local farmers until she was three.
During Qingming Festival in 2003, Deng took part in an event in Malan in memory of martyrs(烈士).When some local primary school students were organized to sing the national anthem(国歌) during the ceremony, Deng found that only one or two of them could sing the anthem. So she decided to teach the children music in the hope that they could leave the mountains and discover new things. When the villagers told her the children had no talent for music, Deng said they simply needed to start to learn. In 2004, Deng went to the village to teach the subject. When she founded the Malan Band in 2006, her friends in Beijing donated musical instruments to the village. Children in Malan had instruments they had never seen before. They were amazed at the sounds they produced. Deng taught them to sing and to play the violin and the piano. In 2006 the band was renamed Malan Flower Children’s Chorus and two years later Deng brought them to perform in Beijing’s Zhongshan Park-the first time the children had left the mountains. Over 18 years, Deng taught more than 200 children in Malan and nearby villages, with many of them going on to attend college. She donated nearly 500 musical instruments and some 1,000 books to Malan.
Deng died on March 21, 2022. Just some six weeks before her death, 44 children from Malan and nearby villages sang the Olympic Anthem at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. It was Deng that helped bring these children deep in mountains onto such a big stage.

【02】山西省临汾市2022-2023学年高三上学期高中学业水平考
I accidentally found a time capsule, in purple and green floss (丝线) in the midst of sorting out some old things last month. Faded and worn, it was a friendship bracelet (手链)—an important part of my teenage summers. Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know firsthand.
My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating—like the serious business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.
I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.
My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord (一种聊天工具) in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
4. Why does the author compare a bracelet to a time capsule?
A. It is faded and worn.
B. It is shaped like a capsule.
C. It reminds her of her childhood.
D. It was made by the author herself.
5. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “intoxicating” in Paragraph 2?
A. Exciting. B. Terrible.
C. Professional. D. Strange.
6. Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers?
A. They spend too much time on their cellphones.
B. They make more friends at summer camp.
C. They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents.
D. They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
7. What can be implied about the friendship bracelets?
A. They proved the author’s kids had much to physically hold on to.
B. They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.
C. They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
D. They recalled the author’s deep sorrow of leaving close friends at summer camp.

【03】江苏省苏州市2022〜2023学年高三上学期八校联考
A woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be“a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $ 28 ticket to be more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming irrelevant.”
4. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?
A. To get her phone. B. To escape the crowd.
C. To take a photo. D. To push ahead.
5. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?
A. By setting periods without photo-taking.
B. By making the exhibition free of charge.
C. By compromising with the government.
D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
6. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may ________.
A. uncover the truth B. cause irrelevancy
C. bring more pleasure D. play a negative role
7. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?
A. Reducing admission prices.
B. Catering to visitors.
C. Reserving judgement in public.
D. Banning social media and photography.

Anne Lacaton and Jean-Phippe Vassal, this year’s Pritzker Prize winners, were as surprised as anyone else when the most famous award in architecture was made public yesterday.
“Of course it’s very pleasant, and we are very pleased,”Lacaton said at a conference with her partner, both smiling broadly from their black eyeglasses.
Putting aside their eyeglasses, Lacaton and Vassal could not be more different from an earlier generation of Pritzker winners, known for their easily recognizable styles and grand work. Instead, the two apply their simple guideline to their work on old urban buildings for low-income families: Never destroy, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and reuse!
When Lacaton and Vassal were asked to redesign a particularly large and over-crowded public housing block in Bordeaux in 2017, the residents (居民) told them they could not afford to move, even temporarily, but they wanted bigger units. Their solution was to replace the folding wooden front door with sliding glass door to each unit and painted the ugly walls with something bright. Suddenly, everyone had roomy outdoor space, some of which could be used during the winter as “winter gardens.”
“So, people can not only get sun and light and spend time with family, but it’s also open to neighbors,” Columbia University architecture professor Mabel Wilson.“I would love to live in one of the apartments t they’ve redesigned.”
Their approach of cheap and creative re-adaption could be a model for urban planning in the US, Wilson adds, where destruction has been seen as a solution to old public housing in such cities as Chicago and St. Louis.
There’s a lot of violence in architecture and urbanism. We try to be precise. We try to work with kindness,” Lacaton once explained.“Buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them, when the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant, when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle, and when uses and sensations are unexpected,”
Lacaton and Vassal started their firm in Paris in 1987. Together, they worked primarily in France.
4. Why are Lacaton’s and Vassal’s eyeglasses mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To draw readers attention to their unusual color.
B. To show that Pritzker Prize winners need eyeglasses.
C. To tell us how surprised and happy they are for the prize
D. To stress their only possible similarity with other Pritzker winners.
5. What did Lacaton and Vassal do in the Bordeaux public housing project?
A. They built winter gardens in the outdoor space.
B. They destroyed the walls to provide more space.
C. They just changed the doors and repainted the walls.
D. They provided bigger temporary rooms for the residents.
6. What have Lacaton and Vassal most probably done to win the Pritzker Prize?
A. They have built many public houses with unique styles.
B. They have designed various famous buildings in the world.
C. They have provided free services for poor families in the US.
D. They have tried to transform old urban buildings with kindness.
7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Architecture. B. Environment. C. Lifestyle. D. Politics.

Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.
But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin(标枪). The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.
I think Paul Dughi said it best, “ It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.”
24. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success.
B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life.
C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses.
D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success.
25. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot?
A. To prevent the foot from injury.
B. To make the shoe fit the foot.
C. To stop the shoe from being stolen.
D. To show his problem-solving skills.
26. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin?
A. Loss of his own sports shoes.
B. A casual attitude towards the event.
C. Lack of experience in the event.
D. A shortage of talent for the event.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe?
A. Loyal and enthusiastic.
B. Genuine and creative.
C. Tough and strong-minded.
D. Selfless and good-tempered.

The social media trap of comparing yourself to others can lead to feelings of confusion and jealousy. That was certainly true for Lizzie Velasquez. “I will look at everyone’s photos and feel horrible about myself,” Velasquez says. “So I have made a rule for myself. If I’m on social media, when I start feeling like I’m falling down the rabbit hole of comparison, I have to stop.”
Feeling pressure from the Internet is nothing new for Velasquez. When she was just 17, a video calling her “The World’s Ugliest Woman” became popular on YouTube. It was a difficult period for her. “I suffered from a rare disease which doesn’t allow me to gain weight and also affects my eyes, my bones and my heart,” explains Velasquez.
Growing up, Velasquez said she lived in two different worlds. At home, her family treated her just like everyone else. Her parents raised her to appreciate herself. But that got harder when she started school. “I didn’t become aware of it until I started kindergarten, because I was entering this other world where I had to face the reality,” says Velasquez.
As Velasquez got into high school, she started to gain more understanding about her condition. But then came the YouTube video, which threatened her already-shaky foundation. Though it was difficult, that moment of bullying(霸凌)inspired Velasquez to use her newfound platform for good. She wanted to stop this behavior. Then she gave a talk about her story, reaching millions with her uplifting messages about beauty. And she gave interviews on national talk shows and was featured in the documentary film A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story. “I want to remind people that no matter how different you are and no matter what people say about you, you are meant to be in this world and being different is unique,” says Velasquez.
4. Where did Velasquez’s teenage pressure mainly come from?
A. Her tense relationships with her parents. B. Others’ criticism of her appearance.
C. Others’ concern about her disease. D. Her popularity on social media.
5. How can we describe Lizzie Velasquez?
A. Brave and inspiring. B. Talented and confident.
C. Sociable and popular. D. Caring and warm-hearted.
6. What did Velasquez do to fight online bullying?
A. Avoid using social media for a while.
B. Call on people to talk directly with the bullies.
C. Encourage the young to improve their taste in beauty.
D. Speak out against the behavior by sharing her experiences.
7. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A. The negative effects of online bullying.
B. A girl’s message about beauty and happiness.
C. The public’s attitude to online bullying among teenagers.
D. A story of turning pain into power against online bullying.

I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my two favorite games – “Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”– and made them play every few months. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I’m going to be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My “discarded” pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.
So, this time I found help – the classics for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s commitment to her craft is astonishing. Her philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration. It makes you rethink how you organize. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. This way you’re choosing what to keep. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I’m nuts. She’s probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I move through the pile: pants, shirts, suits and shoes. Then my last category: jackets. I haven’t worn the thing in about 30 years. Somehow, it has survived. Now that I’m striving to follow Kondo – surely, its time has come?
I hold it in my hand. There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. It’s literally falling apart. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it feel good to wear? Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s cool and unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia (怀念) is the very reason.
I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter’s arguments. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile.
4. What does the underlined word “discarded” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. adjusted B. reserved C. abandoned D. tidied
5. What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?
A. To learn how to categorize. B. To improve his tidying skills.
C. To persuade his family members. D. To develop passion for minimalism.
6. What is the attitude of the author’s family members toward minimalism?
A. They don’t understand it. B. They completely support it.
C. They are strongly opposed to it. D. They are less passionate about it.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Knowing when to let go B. Classifying what you love
C. Throwing worn-out clothes D. Keeping valuable possessions

“Mayday！We got Mayday！”Frank Pisano screamed over the micro-phone to the air control tower at John Wayne Airport last June．One of the two engines on his 1975 Cessna had failed，and he was now on a collision course with one of the busiest highways in America-Interstate 405，just south ofLos Angeles-and there was no stopping it．
Driving south on the 405，near the airport’s runway，was John Meffert．A fire department captain，Meffert，47，was heading home from his shift．Then a low-flying plane caught his eye．After he took a second glance，a thought crossed his mind: ”This plane’s going to hit me，”Meffert told Fox8．
He was right．The plane knocked into the center highway，popped up a few feet，and then hit the front of Meffert’s SUV．It finally stopped after hitting the divider on the southbound side．Meffertpulled over．He was unhurt，so he turned his attention to the plane．He ran toward the smoke billowing from it--and then he saw Frank’s wife，Janan Pisano，pop her head up on the passenger side．
By the time Meffert reached the aircraft，part of the fuselage(机身)was on fire and Janan，who was covered in blood，was on the wing trying to pull her husband from the wreck．Meffert，afraid the plane would explode，guided her to safety behind it．At this point，traffic had come to a stop，and two nurses jumped out of their cars to help lead Janan farther away as Meffert ran back for the pilot．
“I’m going to get you out．”Meffert said as he positioned himself under the pilot’s arms and carefully lifted him from the seat．He dragged the pilot off the wing and carried him to the side of the freeway to safety，where they watched flames swallow the plane．
Remarkably，Meffert’s car was the only one hit by the plane．Had Meffert been a second or two faster，Frank told the Orange County Register，the left propeller(螺旋桨)would have torn the top off his SUV and killed him．
“I play all the what-ifs-going slower，going faster．It could have been in a very different situation，”Meffert told Fox8．”We just had a lot of angels．”
24．What was the reason for the accident？
A．The plane hit a SUV． B．Frank was not a good pilot．
C．One of the engines didn’t work． D．The plane landed at a wrong place．

C．It caused Meffert covered in blood． D．It threw Meffert into the air．
26．Why did Meffert manage to carry the pilot out of the plane？
A．Because he knew how to perform first aid．
B．Because the plane couldn’t fly any more．
C．Because he didn’t want to cause a traffic jam．
D．Because the plane might explode．
27．How did Meffert feel about the outcome of the accident？
A．Nervous． B．Lucky． C．Sad． D．Excited

São Paulo is playing host to an unsustainable mountain of waste due to a general lack of participation in recycling properly. Mar ion Bernardi, a student from France, has proposed a neat way of getting kids in on the act of sorting domestic waste.
Mar ion registered for an art class in high school when she realised her love for creating objects. Entering for design studies at L’Ecole de Design Nantes Atlantique was a logical next step for her.

The Recicla Dia a Dia app is specially-designed to educate the user, so they know how to deal with most forms of recyclable plastic, glass, paper and metal items. It comes through the use of a “separator” an interactive guide on the ape, which informs the child about whether waste is dry recyclable or not, via a set of clear questions.
To progress in the contest and get rewards, the child must level up by gaining experience. Experience can be gained by bringing in bags of dry recyclables counted by the teacher and by completing weekly ‘Zero Waste’ challenge. Beyond education through play, Mar ion man ages to create a link between home and school and provide a global solution to a major issue.

Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet. Deposited there are important letters and cards collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of e-mail though, they’ve been few and far between.
Tonight is New York’s Eve 2029 and there’s a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there’s something I have to do – The Ritual（惯例）.
I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear ______. I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the thrill of typing it in. “I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you. And you still planning to move to that villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive? Questions surge into my mind.

Finally, it’s finished.11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient’s name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That completes the ritual!
I walk over to my “special box”. It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting. I place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front. It’s dated2019,and labeled “to be opened 31st December 2029”.
The cycle is finally complete! I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, my eyes tearing up a little as I do so. Throughout the last ten long, eventful years, of life, death, joy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in this box for me, though I now have no memory of ever having written it.

My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their friends. They hang out on Discord(一种聊天软件)in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.
Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.
4. Why does the author associate a bracelet with a time capsule?
A. It is faded and worn. B. It reminds her of her childhood.
C. It is shaped like a capsule. D. It was made by the author herself.
5What does the underlined word “intoxicating” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Professional. B. Temporary. C. Exciting. D. Strange.
6. Why does the author think her kids’ childhood is different from hers?
A. They make more friends at summer camp. B. They spend too much time on their cellphones.
C. They are unwilling to give bracelets to parents. D. They often send hand-made gifts to their friends.
7. What can be inferred about the friendship bracelets?

B. They represented both the author and her kids’ unforgettable childhood.
C. They gave meaning to the author’s childhood in a way her kids will never know.

In 1939, seven-year-old Miriam Schreiber should have started first grade. Instead, she spent that year — and the following five — trying to survive. She was living in Poland when World War II broke out. “My entire life was ruined within minutes,” she says. “I was looking forward to starting school.”She never made it. And not having a degree has always been a thorn in her side.
Decades later, though, the now-89-year-old Holocaust survivor finally got something she had always longed for. Kapiloff Brander, director of community programs at Jewish Family Services, reached out to theNew England Jewish Academy, a Jewish high school, to ask whether the school could help Mariam fulfill her wish.

Getting a formal education was never an option for her but she learned seven languagesover the years. “I educated myself,” she says. “I read books day and night. I still do.”
On August 16, during a socially distanced ceremony in the school gym, Miriam was presented with a high school diploma from the New England Jewish Academy. “There weren’t too many dry eyes among the 30 of us there,” says Nabel.

Like many other five-year-olds, Jeanie Low of Houston, Texas, would use a stool (凳子) to help her reach the bathroom sink. However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.
Jeanie decided to make a stool attached to the bathroom cabinet door under the sink. She cut a board of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long. Using metal hinges (铰链) Jeanie attached one piece of the wood to the front of the cabinet door, and the second piece to the first. The first piece was set just high enough so that when it swung out horizontally from the cabinet door, the second piece would swing down from the first, just touching the ground, and so serving as a support for the first piece of the wood. This created a convenient, strong platform for any person too short to reach the sink. When not in use, the hinges allowed the two pieces of wood to fold back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets. Jeanie called her invention the “Kiddie Stool”.
Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool won first place in her school’s contest. Two years later, it was awarded first prize again at Houston’s first annual Invention Fair. As a result, Jeanie was invited to make a number of public appearances with her Kiddie Stool, and was featured on local TV as well as in newspapers. Many people found the story of the Kiddie Stool inspiring because it showed that with imagination, anyone can be an inventor.
4. Why did Jeanie Low invent the Kiddie Stool, according to the passage?
A. Many other five-year-olds had problems reaching the bathroom sink.

Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.
The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.
Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast(酵母)to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.
“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft beer, and we were excited to learn that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s moonlander, we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”
The preparation work for the beer-up to the stage of adding yeast-will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation (发酵)and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.
This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.
If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.
All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.
Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in you local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables(消耗品) behave in different environments.
4. How did the students feel when they heard of the chance to design the experiment?
A. Confident. B. Nervous.
C. Thrilled. D. Casual.
5. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Adding yeast on Earth. B. The mixing of two stages.
C. The preparation work on Earth. D. Fermentation and carbonation.
6. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?
A. It has been designed based on similar experiments.
B. It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.
C. Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.
D. Its design has already been approved by TeamIndus.
7. What does the author think of the students’ idea?
A. It seems like a pipe dream. B. It’s extremely complicated.
C. It’s creative but impractical. D. It’s meaningful and hopeful.

When I set down a cup of soup in front of one of “The Party”, she glanced down at it, and then frowned. “Hannah, I asked for a half cup of soup,” she said, sounding angrily, “You are always so slow. I don’t know how you always mess up our orders.”
I politely mumbled an apology. It was only a cup of soup, and an honest mistake, but I felt like such a disaster.
The residents at the high-end senior living community, where I served as a waitress in the cafeteria, expected nothing less than a five-star dining experience and my small mistake was not to be tolerated.
When I first started working there, I was already shy and couldn’t stand the idea that someone didn’t like me. Early on, when residents would scold or criticize me with or without reasons, I felt like crawling under a rock.
The most difficult guests by far were a group of six women who the servers nicknamed “The Party.” At first, they seemed friendly. But the truth is that they were rude and demanding. I would leave the dining room exhausted almost every night after serving them.
Somehow those rough nights started to change me to become more outgoing and self-assured. The residents gradually depend on me and my “convinced” smile. I used to have trouble speaking in front of a group and would be shy when I did. Now, I have no problem walking up to a table of fourteen people and making conversation as if I had known them my whole life.
I give credit to “The Party” for putting me in a situation where I had no choice but to smile and carry on. Today, when I see “The Party”, I still flinch a little inside, but then I pull back my shoulders, lift my chin and march up to them ask, “What’s it going to be today, ladies?”
4. What do we know about the residents?
A. They are very picky about services.
B. They all enjoy having meals in groups.
C. They all behave nicely and reasonably.
D. They all find favors in the eyes of the servers.
5. Which is the quality the author possesses now?
A. Shyness. B. Confidence.
C. Selfishness. D. Indifference.
6. What does the underline word “flinch” mean?
A. take in. B. beat up.
C. cheer up. D. draw back.
7. What moral lesson can we take from this story?
A. Where there is a will, there is a way.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
D. With great power comes great responsibility.

It was my first year of teaching, and I was sinking. I could not get my middle school students to sit down and pay attention, I felt frustrated that I couldn’t act them to remember what I had just taught the day before; yet, they could easily remember every word of a mew rap song on the radio. Of course, the other problem with this was that they came in each day singing about violence, depression and drug use, which frustrated me even more.
And then, one afternoon, instead of turning off their radios, I decided to offer them a different station. I went home, and made up a rap song about the math concepts they were learning at the time, called “The Itty Betty Dot”. I practiced it all night. Early the next morning, when my class came in, I performed it for them,
The result was very bad. The students laughed hysterically (歇斯底里). Not only were they not paying attention, they were also laughing at me. Later that day, I went to lunch with slow heavy steps like a big loser. And then it happened. As I walked by the lunch tables, I heard the students were singing my song!
The next day, they eagerly ran into my classroom, saying things like, “Mr. Kajitani, are you going to rap again? Yesterday was the best day ever in the math class!” From that moment on, everything changed. I had connected with my students on their level, using the language they understood to get across what I was trying to teach. By changing my approach, I got them excited to come to school.

British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work---The Underwater Museum of Cannes.
“The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”
The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.
Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.
“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”
4. What are the underwater museums intended to do?
A. To make huge profits. B. To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.
C. To show Jason Taylor’s talent. D. To draw attention to endangered sea animals.
5. Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?
A. To popularize the features of the locals.
B. To remind people to protect themselves.
C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.
D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.
6. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How the project was started. B. How the seagrass was restored.
C. What recovery effort the project made. D. Why the surroundings were improved.
7. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?
A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.
B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.
C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.
D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.

Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.

From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter.

As children, we dream of growing older; when we are older, we dream of being children. We let our lives pass us by because we have yet to learn that the harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes. This is how my story begins.
In October of my freshman year, I took an accidental trip down memory lane. One day after school, I decided to take the long way home. I needed time to think. So off I went, walking through the grass. That was how I came to find a gap in the fence lining the school property. I passed through this gap and followed the treeline until I found myself in the far fields behind the neighborhood.
Suddenly, I remembered it was here through the fence between the school and the fields that I watched older kids having their high school graduation ceremony. In cap and gown (长袍), they stood in the middle of the field. They looked like they were having the most fun I had ever seen anyone have; they looked free.
Years later, I walked through that field on my way home from that same high school. I’ve since given this place a name, Tempus Illud, a place between places. I try to take the long way home at least once a month now. Sometimes, when I cross that bridge, I see that younger version of myself. She is so young and so desperate to speed up time. I see her peering through the fence at those graduates in the cap and gown, and she’s wishing she could be just like them. She, too, could feel so free that she might just grow wings and fly away. Now I’m preparing to wear the cap and gown in a few short months. But this time, I wish to leave time to its own devices.
The harder you yearn for time, the faster it passes you by. So I no longer yearn. The passage of time is inevitable, and you can’t avoid it, but you can appreciate it. James Taylor sings, “ The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time. Nobody knows how we got to the top of the hill, but since we’re on our way down, we might as well enjoy the ride.”
4. How did the author feel when she saw the older kids’ graduation ceremony?
A. Admiring. B. Curious. C. Jealous. D. Unconcerned.
5. What is the significance of Tempus Illud to the author?
A. It honors her best childhood memory.
B. It shows the miracle of frozen time.
C. It bridges her past, present and future.
D. It symbolizes high school graduation.
6. What is the author’s perspective on time at the end?
A. She is addicted to the past.
B. She yearns for time to pass quicker.
C. She wants to run after time.
D. She decides to enjoy the moment.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To suggest that time brings the truth to light.
B. To share her changing attitude toward time.
C. To explain how time changes everything.
D. To show that tough times never last.

Bournemouth in Dorset has always been my favourite seaside town. When I was growing up, Mum and Dad didn’t have much money, but they’d saved enough for a few days in Bournemouth. I was four years old at the time. I don’t actually remember much about the trip, apart from being devastated when we had to leave. Mum said I fell in love with the place and insisted on waving goodbye to the sea when it was time to go. So I grew up believing Bournemouth was a wonderful place.
Forty years on, my wife and I returned for a week’s break. I was nervous, wondering if I’d be able to bring back that delight I’d felt as a child. I needn’t have worried. We had a fantastic time. It helped that the British weather had decided to provide us with high temperatures and plenty of sun. But it was Bournemouth that kept me spellbound, making me feel like a child again.
Bournemouth and its neighbour Boscombe, are always busy, alive with chatter, music and other lively sounds. But as we stepped into Boscombe Chine Gardens, all the noise faded away. A sense of peace spread through us as we meandered along the paths, delighting in the squirrels climbing up and down the trees and the bright colours of the pretty plants.
One morning, we made a short trip to Poole Quay and took the ferry to Brownsea Island. Owned by the National Trust, it’s a feast for the eyes, from its mock Tudor entrance, to the many peacocks walking around, to the magnificent views of the sun sparkling on the shining waters and boats bobbing up and down, seen from the island’s highest point.
Before we knew it, it was time to return home—but not before waving goodbye to the sea.
