My grandfather was a rigid （刻板的） perfectinist. Everything had t be rderly, precise and punctual. I was frightened f him until the day he died. Grwing up,my mther desperately wanted t please him. She prbably thught he might leave if she didn't.
In fact,I nw think the fear f being left alne,abandned,was a current thrughut much f her life. A few years int my father suffering frm Alzheimer's, my mther's vice n the phne sunded s upset that I had t tell her, "Just be with yurself fr a little while. Be calm and everything can be better."

A while after my father died，she tld me that she kept the televisin n all the time because it made her feel less lnely. "It makes the huse seem t have mre peple living in it," she said. I had given in t my annyance and either turned the vlume dwn r turned it ff. But after she tld me that it filled in sme f the lneliness,I never reached fr the remte cntrl again.

Cckats （凤头鹦鹉） are nly the third animal besides humans and chimpanzees, knwn t pick tls flexibly based n the tasks they expect t face accrding t a study recently published in Current Bilgy.
In 2021, scientists bserved that cckats fashined three tls — a wedge （楔子）, a knife and a spn — t help pen fruits. It shwed that they were making tls with different functins，but an imprtant questin remained; Did the birds use the tls as a set fr the same gal, r just as respnses t the result f the use f the frmer？
T answer it，researchers designed a special puzzle bx inside which was a grand prize: a cashew （腰果）, the favrite fd f cckats. Getting it ut f the bx required tw tls: a shrt, sharp tl that had t first cut a film blcking the bird's access t the nut and a lng ple that had t be stuck int the hle t fish ut the cashew.
Accrding t the bservatin,six f ten cckats fund the crrect slutin. When a simpler bx with n film was presented,they were likely t merely pick up the ple. Then the bx was mved farther frm the tls,meaning the birds had t chse the right tls and then carry them ver. When deciding which tls t bring,the cckats planned ahead. If facing a bx with a film,they figured ut hw t carry the tls tgether and wuld cme prepared with bth. If withut,they tended t bring the fishing ple.
The study shws that cckats can use and transprt tl sets flexibly fr immediate future use，and thus their tl use is mre than the sum f its parts. The researchers nw hpe t see if the birds can manage this even when the bx is nt in direct view, and further explre the evlutinary histry f tl use in this species.
Dr.Auersperg，ne f the researchers, thinks the study prves an anti-bird phrase needs revising. "Bird brain, " she said, "shuld actually be a cmpliment."
8.Why des the authr mentin the 2021 research in paragraph 2？
A. T reveal its limitatin. B. T review a significant study.
C. T establish the research gal. D. T intrduce the research questin.
9.Which is the last step fr the cckats t get the reward？
A. Cnsider tl use B. Cut a hle in the film.
C. Pull the ple frm the bx. D. Get ut f the bx t eat.
10.What des the underlined wrd "cmpliment" in the last paragraph prbably mean？
A. Tpic.B. Reality. C. Cncern.D. Praise.
11.What is the main idea f the text？
A. Cckats are creative prblem slvers.
B. Cckats knw t use tl sets flexibly.
C. Cckats are the third smartest animals.
D. Cckats adapt t envirnmental changes easily.

Each year, the wrld lses abut 10 millin hectares f frest—an area abut the size f Iceland—because f cutting dwn trees. At that rate, sme scientists predict the wrld’s frests culd disappear in 100 t 200 years. T handle it, nw researchers at Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) have pineered a technique t generate wd-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it pssible t “grw” a wden prduct withut cutting dwn trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells frm the leaves f a yung plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium fr tw days, then mved t anther medium which cntains nutrients and tw different hrmnes. By adjusting the hrmne levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities f the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer t shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grw in the dark fr three mnths. Finally, the researchers dehydrate the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They fund that lwer hrmne levels lead t plant materials with mre runded, pen cells f lwer density, while higher hrmne levels cntribute t the grwth f plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lwer r higher density f cell structures makes the plant materials sfter r mre rigid, helping the materials grw with different wd-like characteristics. What’s mre, it’s t be nted that the research prcess is abut 100 times faster than the time it takes fr a tree t grw t maturity!
Research f this kind is grund-breaking. “This wrk demnstrates the great pwer f a technlgy,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real pprtunity here is t be at its best with what yu use and hw yu use it. This technlgy can be tuned t meet the requirements yu give abut shapes, sizes, rigidity, and frms. It enables us t ‘grw’ any wden prduct in a way that traditinal agricultural methds can’t achieve.”
12. Why d researchers at MIT cnduct the research?
A. T grw mre trees. B. T prtect plant diversity.
C. T reduce tree lsses. D. T predict frest disappearance.
13. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut the lab research?
A. Its theretical basis. B. Its key prcedures.
C. Its scientific evidence. D. Its usual difficulties.
14. What des the finding suggest abut the plant materials?
A. The hrmne levels affect their rigidity.
B. They are better than naturally grwn plants.
C. Their cells’ shapes mainly rely n their density.
D. Their grwth speed determines their characteristics.
15. Why is the research grund-breaking accrding t Berenstain?
A. It uses new bilgical materials in lab experiments.
B. It revlutinizes the way t make wden prducts.
C. It challenges traditinal scientific theries in frestry.
D. It has a significant impact n wrldwide plant grwth.

A majrity f the peple d nt read the classics. Their reasns begin with the language being t difficult and end with the stryline t distant t the present cntext. Lve fr classics is bviusly nt at first sight. 16 We begin as acquaintances （泛泛之交） and eventually becme clse friends with private jkes between us. S hw des ne apprach a classic?
Dn't be afraid t be cnfused.
We get it: it's hard t pwer thrugh cnfusin. It desn't feel great when a bk makes yu feel cnfused. Every reader has t start smewhere. 17 Instead, be prud f yurself fr trying, and get excited abut all the new things yu'll learn.
Research, research, research.
18 Researching the authr-and the time and place they were writing abut-can help yu situate yurself during tricky passages. The authr's experience, viewpint, and histrical cntext might help yu make the cnnectins yu might nt have therwise.
Just pick the bk up.
This step is self-explanatry. While it's nt hard t just pick a bk up, we knw hw difficult it can be t cnvince yurself t d s. 19 Take a deep breath, then leap nt the deck （甲板） f Melville's Pequd r step cautiusly thrugh the gates f Castle Dracula.
Remember: there is n right answer.
There is n perfect way t read a classic text. There is n defining interpretatin, n singular, exact answer. Yur gal as a reader is t discver what aspects and insights are meaningful t yu. Enjy the prcess. 20 Even if yur interpretatin f the wrk isn't quite perfect, it is still valuable!
It is a gradual affair.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervus abut many things. But nthing cmpared t the prblem that I gt t the age where my vice started changing. At first, the vice getting deep excited me. But then I learned befre getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was s embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun f me. In fact, they didn’t even mentin it. But in my self-cnscius sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun f me behind my back. They weren’t having the same prblem.
After my first vice crack experience, I was determined t make sure it wuldn’t happen again. At least nt in public. S, except fr strategic times I said, “cl” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My lgic was, “If I dn’t use my vice, it cannt crack.” Hwever, I culdn’t g withut talking frever. I needed a new slutin.
I began clearing my thrat befre speaking, which actually seemed t help. Limiting hw much I spke and clearing my vice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger prblem. I was much mre scared abut having a vice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spken with. I didn’t want their first impressins f me t be based n a vice crack.
Unfrtunately, ne day my cncern came true. It was abut tw mnths after the beginning f the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I gt int the classrm. I nticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking abut hw he wuld take attendance. My permanent teacher never had t, since he already knew each student, I panicked. S many thughts rushed thrugh my mind that I culdn’t think straight. I calmed myself dwn by telling myself that I nly had t say ne wrd “Here”. “Easy enugh, right?” I thught s until my name was called. I did my rutine—cleared my thrat, tk a breath, and said, “Here.” The nly prblem was that while saying this, I had the wrst vice crack in the histry f vice cracks.
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。
The whle class turned t lk at me.
“Yu knw, the vice prblem yu met in class is nrmal,” a classmate came t me and said.

The whle class turned t lk at me. My face burned with embarrassment as I felt each pair f eyes fixed n me. The substitute teacher’s puzzled expressin nly added t the awkward mment. I wished the grund wuld pen up and swallw me whle, but all I culd d was shift uncmfrtably in my seat. The whispers that fllwed were like knives t my self-esteem. When the bell finally rang fr the break, I rushed ut f the classrm, feeling utterly humiliated. It seemed like the whle schl nw knew abut my vice crack. (87 wrds)
“Yu knw, the vice prblem yu met in class is nrmal,” a classmate came t me and said. His reassuring wrds caught me ff guard. As he shared his wn similar experiences, I realized I wasn’t alne in this struggle. Knwing that thers were ging thrugh the same thing made me feel seen and understd. His empathy sparked a sense f team spirit and supprt that I hadn't anticipated. Gradually, I let g f the fear f judgment and started t embrace my vice cracks as a natural part f grwing up. This newfund sense f cnfidence and self-acceptance transfrmed my interactins at schl, making me feel mre at ease and cnnected with my peers.(97 wrds)
