Have yu ever seen a kid in class wh wuldn’t vlunteer t read r answer a questin? I was that type f student. Talking in class was a struggle fr me because the fear f saying the wrng thing was always n my mind.
There were cnstant annuncements abut students in ur class winning writing awards. It was a dream fr me. I have always felt unsure f myself when writing. Semiclns cnfused me and I used t many cmmas. I had n idea hw t cite anything. During my freshman year, the teacher wuld pick the best essay in ur class t be read ut lud, but mine was never chsen. I fund it really hard t write an essay.
One teacher Mr. Wilsn, wh taught me the next semester, changed everything. He was in his fifties and had a reputatin fr having a particular teaching style. He cnnected writing and reading t ftball, but smehw it made sense. What really made him special t me was that every class he wuld pick smene t read their writing ut lud t the class.
In ne f his lessns, he said: “I will nt always pick the essay that I think has the best grammar r use f vcabulary. I will pick the ne that I think has the mst character.” This part was cnfusing tme because hw can writing have character? He went n t explain: “I want t read smething that I can tell the writer feel a lt while writing it. I want t feel the emtins yu were ging thrugh as yu wrte it.”
A few weeks later, fr the first time, my essay was chsen t be read t my classmates. I can’t even remember what it was abut, but I remember hw nervus I was t see his reactin, mixed with pride at the fact that he felt like my wrk was wrth sharing. He gave me his cmments at the end f it, but I was t nervus t remember them. After class, he tld me he was excited t read mre f my wrk.
He made me feel special in the way he led the class, and I gt ver my fear f sharing my wrk in class. He made me believe in my writing abilities and gave me the cnfidence t cntinue writing.

Have yu ever been indecisive in the decisin f what clr car yu like? Last Nvember, a magazine with great influence revealed its annual list f the Best Inventins, which are changing hw we live, wrk, play, and think abut what’s pssible. One f these inventins was the “clr changing car”.
At the 2022 Cnsumer Electrnics Shw, a famus car cmpany shwcased a cncept car that can change clrs. The surface cating f this car features e-ink that is mst well-knwn frm the displays f e-readers. It cntains many millins f micr-capsules, each f which cntains negatively charged white pigments (颜料) and psitively charged black pigments. Depending n the chsen setting, stimulatin by means f an electrical field causes either the white r the black pigments t cllect at the surface f the micr-capsule, giving the car bdy the desired shade.
The clr chsen fr a car is an expressin f the driver’s persnalities. It ffers a cmpletely new way f changing the vehicle’s appearance in line with the driver’s preferences, the envirnmental cnditins r even functinal requirements.
A variable exterir clr can cntribute t energy saving and wellness in the interir. This is dne by taking int accunt the different abilities f light and dark clrs when it cmes t reflecting sunlight and the assciated absrptin f thermal energy. Heating f the vehicle as a result f strng sunlight and high utside temperatures can be reduced by changing the exterir t a light clr. In cler weather, a dark uter skin will help the vehicle t absrb nticeably mre warmth frm the sun. This wuld reduce the amunt f energy the vehicle electrical system needs, lwering the fuel r electricity cnsumptin. In the interir, the technlgy culd, fr example, prevent the dashbard frm heating up t much. In electric cars, changing the clr with the weather wuld thus increase the range f the car. Cnsidering the recent push fr electric vehicles, this clr changing technlgy culd be a game-changer.
“Digital experiences wn’t just be limited t displays in the future. There will be mre and mre cnnectin between the real and virtual. With this cncept car, we are bringing the car bdy t life, ”says Frank Weber, a member f the bard f this cmpany.
28．The cncept car can change clrs mainly because f ________.
A．the reflectin f sunlightB．the stability f electrical field
C．the area f white and black e-inkD．the gathering f charged pigments
29．As fr the clr changing car, which wuld the authr agree with?
A．It will be put int mass prductin in the near future.
B．It can change clrs autmatically accrding t weather.
C．It can shw persnalities and imprve car perfrmance.
D．It will save energy by transfrming heat int electrical energy.
30．Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A．Car Design: New ChallengesB．The Develpment f Car Exterir
C．Magical E-ink in Car DesignD．New Inventin f Cars: Tailred Exterir
D
D yu knw frests are ne f ur planet’s greatest carbn sinks? This means that they absrb an enrmus amunt f carbn released int the atmsphere, a greenhuse gas that cntributes t climate change and the earth’s rising temperature.
The pplar tree, standing tall and regal, is knwn fr its fast-grwing nature and its gray, white, r black bark. A bitechnlgy firm in San Francisc, CA, genetically mdified pplar trees. Accrding t a fur-mnth study cnducted in their greenhuse, the engineered trees grew 53% larger than their nrmal cunterparts and stred 27% mre CO2. In February 2023, the cmpany als planted mdified pplar trees in suthern Gergia. This marks the first time in the United States that engineered trees have been planted utside f a cntrlled lab setting!
All plants experience phtsynthesis (光合作用), where sunlight, water, and CO2 are transfrmed int glucse and xygen. Hwever, almst all trees release a pisnus substance in the prcess. T remve this substance, trees must use up newly-prduced energy in anther step knwn as pht-respiratin (光呼吸作用), which des nt prduce any energy and releases CO2 back int the atmsphere. T prevent plants frm wasting their energy, the bitechnlgy firm engineered their pplar trees with genes fund in green algae. First tested in tbacc plants, the freign genes change the pisnus substance prduced by trees int sugars, s that mre energy can be used fr remving carbn and tree grwth.
Researchers frm the cmpany are planting their pplar trees n private land that has been previusly disturbed, such as abandned cal mines in Pennsylvania. The mdified trees will be planted between natives like sweet gum and bald cypress t bst bidiversity and maintain sil fertility (肥沃).
Plant bilgist Nrbert Martinez frm the University f Illinis suggests the engineered pplar trees may nt thrive utdrs r will require mre water and fertilizer t maintain their fast grwth. Many sustainable frestry rganizatins have als banned engineered trees frm being planted in frests. The Glbal Justice Eclgy Prject argued that these trees culd interfere with effrts t prtect and regenerate frests.
Thugh there may be ppsing pinins regarding genetically mdified pplar trees, ne thing is fr sure: they hld the ptential t lwer greenhuse gases in ur envirnment at a faster rate. This cmpany’s attempt is certainly an innvative apprach t the nging climate crisis.
31．What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A．The necessity t absrb CO2.B．The basic idea behind engineered trees.
C．The effect f phtsynthesis n plants.D．The imprtance f energy transfrmatin.
32．What des the underlined phrase “interfere with” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A．Save.B．Measure.C．Interrupt.D．Strengthen.
33．What can we infer abut the engineered pplar trees?
A．Their first planting state was Pennsylvania.
B．Their ptential t absrb CO2 utweighs cncerns.
C．They can release mre xygen than nrmal pplar trees.
D．They will grw better if planted away frm nrmal plants.
34．The main purpse f the passage is t ________.
A．infrm and argueB．analyse and advise
C．argue and discussD．examine and assess

In ur mdern wrld, there are endless alternatives. Have yu ever fund yurself wndering whether yu shuld quit r stay in yur jb, accept an ffer r give it up fr anther? There is a simple and practical methd that slves this prblem. 35 When yu understand the cncept, yu have the pwer t measure every alternative with precisin and make the right decisin.
In the field f ecnmics, pprtunity cst is the value that yu have t give up when yu chse an ptin ver anther gd ptin. 36 Every time yu chse smething, yu give up ther alternatives tgether with their financial benefits. It is nt all the ther ptins, but the mst valued ne that is defined as the pprtunity cst.
37 Take the simple example f trying t decide whether t take public transprtatin fr 80 minutes r t drive fr 40 minutes. Yu might save n the cst f gas while riding the bus but duble the trip length and miss ut n ther things yu culd have dne during that time. 38 This is hw yu create pririties in yur daily life.
Thugh useful in decisin making, the biggest drawback f pprtunity cst is that it’s ften related t what’s hard t quantify. 39 After all, putting a number t yur peaceful mind r happiness can be difficult.
Opprtunity cst isn’t cut and dried. It varies frm persn t persn. At the end f the day, yu are in charge f what yu wn and what yu want t gain.
A．It is abut finding ut the pprtunity cst.
B．Weigh the lsses and gains, and make yur decisin.
C．Opprtunity cst matters nt nly in ecnmics but als in real life.
D．This is especially true when the pprtunity cst is f nn-financial benefit.
E．The key principle underlying the idea is that there is n such thing as free lunch.
F．Mst peple verlk pprtunity cst because the benefits are usually hidden frm view.
G．It is the develpment f imprtant skills that wuld help yu mve frward in yur daily life.

They say t find ut what yu really want, g back t when yu were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted t be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discuraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the mst beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a prject t create a prtrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were dne, we presented ur prtraits. We std in frnt f the class and explained ur technique. I remember lking at ther prtraits thinking,“We were given the same skills, why d theirs lk s prfessinal and mine lks s amateur?”
But I still really enjyed painting because it’s a frgiving art. If I dn’t like what I’ve put n paper, I can paint ver it. I can mix clrs and make new nes. Als, I can release sme creative juices, use what has inspired me and allw that t pur ut f me in a way I may nt have imagined.
But because I have always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, I just decided t change what beauty lked like. I changed what beauty meant t me.
Thrughut schl, they taught us abut Picass, van Ggh and da Vinci, and I never saw myself r my art in their wrks. These artists were always painting whatever was in frnt f them and arund them. But that’s nt what I saw arund me.
Then I learned abut Basquiat, wh inspired me t paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m mved, and I am ften mved by what’s natural:emtins, nature, and ther frms f art. I am als very mved by pain. When there is pain in the wrld r in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a cnversatin with an activist in St.Luis named Spk, and I explained t her this feeling and she tld me,“Pain is energy. Yu have t learn hw t channel that energy int smething prductive.”S smetimes I channel that pain int art, int a painting.
Even if the picture desn’t turn ut aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by sciety’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able t create smething. My paintings may nt be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, s I lve them anyway.
40．What did the authr find after the prtrait presentatin?
41．What factrs mtivated the authr t keep his passin fr arts?
42．Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
The authr has always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, s he tried t meet sciety’s standards.
43．Besides painting,what ther art frm wuld yu use t express beauty? And explain why.(In abut 40 wrds)

19．考查定语从句。句意：这些鸟从它们夏天的家一路飞到这片湿地，它们将在这里过冬。分析句子可知，空格处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词wetland，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语，表示“在这片湿地”，应使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
20．考查非谓语动词。句意：人们是观鸟者，在拍照。分析句子可知，sht (拍摄)是非谓语动词，作伴随状语，与其逻辑主语The peple之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表主动。故填shting。

29．细节理解题。根据第三段“The clr chsen fr a car is an expressin f the driver’s persnalities. It ffers a cmpletely new way f changing the vehicle’s appearance in line with the driver’s preferences, the envirnmental cnditins r even functinal requirements.(汽车的颜色是司机个性的体现。它提供了一种全新的方式，可以根据驾驶员的喜好、环境条件甚至功能要求来改变车辆的外观)”以及第四段“A variable exterir clr can cntribute t energy saving and wellness in the interir.(一个可变的外部颜色可以有助于节能和健康的内部)”可知，变色车可以彰显个性，提高汽车性能。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了加州旧金山的一家生物技术公司正在研究转基因杨树，经过改造的树木比普通树木长了53%，储存的二氧化碳也多了27%。但不同的人对此有不同的看法，有人反对有人支持。
31．主旨大意题。根据第三段“All plants experience phtsynthesis (光合作用), where sunlight, water, and CO2 are transfrmed int glucse and xygen. Hwever, almst all trees release a pisnus substance in the prcess. T remve this substance, trees must use up newly-prduced energy in anther step knwn as pht-respiratin (光呼吸作用), which des nt prduce any energy and releases CO2 back int the atmsphere. T prevent plants frm wasting their energy, the bitechnlgy firm engineered their pplar trees with genes fund in green algae. First tested in tbacc plants, the freign genes change the pisnus substance prduced by trees int sugars, s that mre energy can be used fr remving carbn and tree grwth.(所有植物都经历光合作用，在光合作用中，阳光、水和二氧化碳转化为葡萄糖和氧气。然而，几乎所有的树木都会在这个过程中释放出有毒物质。为了去除这种物质，树木必须在另一个被称为光呼吸的步骤中消耗新产生的能量，这一步骤不产生任何能量，而是将二氧化碳释放回大气中。为了防止植物浪费能量，这家生物技术公司用绿藻中的基因改造了他们的杨树。外源基因首先在烟草植物上进行了测试，将树木产生的有毒物质转化为糖，这样就可以用更多的能量来去除碳，促进树木生长)”可知，第三段的主要内容是转基因树背后的基本思想。故选B。
32．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Plant bilgist Nrbert Martinez frm the University f Illinis suggests the engineered pplar trees may nt thrive utdrs r will require mre water and fertilizer t maintain their fast grwth. Many sustainable frestry rganizatins have als banned engineered trees frm being planted in frests.(伊利诺伊大学的植物生物学家Nrbert Martinez表示，经过基因改造的杨树可能无法在户外茁壮成长，或者需要更多的水和肥料来保持其快速生长。许多可持续林业组织也禁止在森林中种植转基因树木)”可知，本段主要介绍基因改造树木的劣势。由此推知，全球生态正义项目认为这些树木可能会干扰保护和再生森林的努力。故画线词意思是“干扰”。故选C。
33．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thugh there may be ppsing pinins regarding genetically mdified pplar trees, ne thing is fr sure: they hld the ptential t lwer greenhuse gases in ur envirnment at a faster rate.(尽管对转基因杨树可能会有反对意见，但有一件事是肯定的：它们有可能以更快的速度减少我们环境中的温室气体)”可推知，改造过的杨树吸收二氧化碳的潜力大于担忧。故选B。
34．，推理判断题。通读全文可知，第二段介绍转基因杨树的优势，第三段介绍转基因树背后的基本思想，第四段介绍支持转基因杨树的声音，第五段介绍反对转基因杨树的声音。由此推知，这篇文章的主要目的是提供信息和辩论。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机会成本。
35．根据上文“There is a simple and practical methd that slves this prblem.( 有一个简单实用的方法可以解决这个问题。)”和下文“When yu understand the cncept, yu have the pwer t measure every alternative with precisin and make the right decisin.(当你理解了这个概念，你就有能力精确地衡量每一个选择，并做出正确的决定。)”可知，空处提到了一个概念，就是机会成本。A项中的“the pprtunity cst”和下文中的“the cncept”对应。A项：It is abut finding ut the pprtunity cst.(这是关于找出机会成本。)符合语境。故选A。
36．根据下文“Every time yu chse smething, yu give up ther alternatives tgether with their financial benefits.(每次你选择某样东西，你就放弃了其他的选择以及它们的经济利益。)”可知，下文举例说明机会成本的具体实施原则，选择了某样东西，就要放弃其他的选择以及它们的经济利益。E项：The key principle underlying the idea is that there is n such thing as free lunch.(这个观点的关键原则是，天下没有免费的午餐。)符合语境。故选E。
37．空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Take the simple example f trying t decide whether t take public transprtatin fr 80 minutes r t drive fr 40 minutes.(举个简单的例子，试着决定是乘80分钟的公共交通工具还是开车40分钟。)”可知，本段主要讲述机会成本在日常生活中的应用。C项：Opprtunity cst matters nt nly in ecnmics but als in real life.(机会成本不仅在经济学中很重要，在现实生活中也很重要。)符合语境。故选C。
38．根据上文“Yu might save n the cst f gas while riding the bus but duble the trip length and miss ut n ther things yu culd have dne during that time.(你可能会在乘坐公共汽车时节省汽油费用，但会使行程长度增加一倍，并错过在这段时间内你可以做的其他事情。)”可知，在做决定之前要权衡利弊。B项：Weigh the lsses and gains, and make yur decisin.(权衡得失，再做决定。)符合语境。故选B。
39．根据上文“Thugh useful in decisin making, the biggest drawback f pprtunity cst is that it’s ften related t what’s hard t quantify. (虽然机会成本在决策中很有用，但它最大的缺点是它往往与难以量化的东西有关。)”可知，此处提出机会成本的局限性，结合下文“After all, putting a number t yur peaceful mind r happiness can be difficult.(毕竟，用一个数字来形容你内心的平静或快乐是很困难的。)”可知，像情绪等非经济利益机会成本难以形容。D项：This is especially true when the pprtunity cst is f nn-financial benefit.(当机会成本是非经济利益时尤其如此。)符合语境。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我小的时候不擅长绘画，因为我一直想画出美丽的画，所以我决定改变美丽的样子，我开始带着情感创作抽象画，并且不管这些画在世人的眼中是否美好，我都喜欢我的作品。
40．考查细节理解。根据第二段“I remember lking at ther prtraits thinking,“We were given the same skills, why d theirs lk s prfessinal and mine lks s amateur?”（记得看到其他肖像时，我想，“我们被赋予了同样的技能，为什么他们的看起来如此专业，而我的看起来如此业余？”）”可知，其他孩子的肖像看起来很专业，但他的肖像看起来很业余。故答案为Others’/Other kids’ prtraits lked s prfessinal and/but his lked s amateur。
41．推理判断题。根据第二段“When I was a kid, I really wanted t be a painter, but I was never great at it.（我还是个孩子的时候，我真的很想成为一名画家，但我从来都不擅长。）”及第三段“But I still really enjyed painting because it’s a frgiving art.（但我仍然非常喜欢绘画，因为这是一种宽容的艺术。）”及第六段“Then I learned abut Basquiat, wh inspired me t paint abstract pictures.（然后我了解了巴斯奎特，他激励我画抽象画。）”及倒数第二段“S smetimes I channel that pain int art, int a painting.（所以有时我会把这种痛苦转化为艺术，转化为绘画。）”可知，激励作者保持对艺术事业的热情的是他儿时的梦想；他相信绘画是一种宽容的艺术；他从巴斯奎特那里得到的灵感以及他可以将痛苦转化为艺术的想法。故答案为：His childhd dream; His belief that painting is a frgiving art; The inspiratin he gt frm Basquiat; The fact that he culd channel pain int art。
42．细节理解题。根据第四段“But because I have always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, I just decided t change what beauty lked like. I changed what beauty meant t me.（但因为我一直想画出美丽的画，所以我决定改变美丽的样子。我改变了美丽对我的意义。）”可知，作者在想要画出美丽图画时想要改变的是美丽的样子和对美的定义，并没有尝试满足社会的标准，“s he tried t meet sciety’s standards（所以他尝试满足社会的标准）”是错误的，故答案为：The authr has always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, s he tried t meet sciety’s standards.S he just decided t change what beauty lked like, and he changed what beauty meant t him./S he changed what beauty lked like./But he didn’t try t meet the sciety’s standards。
43．开放性试题。除了绘画，我用唱歌来表达美。通过演唱我最喜欢的歌曲，我可以表达我对生活中美好事物的热情和欣赏。此外，任何音乐元素，如歌词、旋律或押韵，都可以向观众传达美。故答案为：I use singing t express beauty. By singing my favrite sngs, I can vice my passin and appreciatin twards beautiful things in life. Besides, any musical elements like lyrics, meldy r rhyme can cnvey beauty t the audience。

Have yu ever seen a kid in class wh wuldn’t vlunteer t read r answer a questin? I was that type f student. Talking in class was a struggle fr me because the fear f saying the wrng thing was always n my mind.
There were cnstant annuncements abut students in ur class winning writing awards. It was a dream fr me. I have always felt unsure f myself when writing. Semiclns cnfused me and I used t many cmmas. I had n idea hw t cite anything. During my freshman year, the teacher wuld pick the best essay in ur class t be read ut lud, but mine was never chsen. I fund it really hard t write an essay.
One teacher Mr. Wilsn, wh taught me the next semester, changed everything. He was in his fifties and had a reputatin fr having a particular teaching style. He cnnected writing and reading t ftball, but smehw it made sense. What really made him special t me was that every class he wuld pick smene t read their writing ut lud t the class.
In ne f his lessns, he said: “I will nt always pick the essay that I think has the best grammar r use f vcabulary. I will pick the ne that I think has the mst character.” This part was cnfusing tme because hw can writing have character? He went n t explain: “I want t read smething that I can tell the writer feel a lt while writing it. I want t feel the emtins yu were ging thrugh as yu wrte it.”
A few weeks later, fr the first time, my essay was chsen t be read t my classmates. I can’t even remember what it was abut, but I remember hw nervus I was t see his reactin, mixed with pride at the fact that he felt like my wrk was wrth sharing. He gave me his cmments at the end f it, but I was t nervus t remember them. After class, he tld me he was excited t read mre f my wrk.
He made me feel special in the way he led the class, and I gt ver my fear f sharing my wrk in class. He made me believe in my writing abilities and gave me the cnfidence t cntinue writing.

Depending n the chsen setting, stimulatin by means f an electrical field causes either the white r the black pigments t cllect at the surface f the micr-capsule, giving the car bdy the desired shade.
The clr chsen fr a car is an expressin f the driver’s persnalities. It ffers a cmpletely new way f changing the vehicle’s appearance in line with the driver’s preferences, the envirnmental cnditins r even functinal requirements.
A variable exterir clr can cntribute t energy saving and wellness in the interir. This is dne by taking int accunt the different abilities f light and dark clrs when it cmes t reflecting sunlight and the assciated absrptin f thermal energy. Heating f the vehicle as a result f strng sunlight and high utside temperatures can be reduced by changing the exterir t a light clr. In cler weather, a dark uter skin will help the vehicle t absrb nticeably mre warmth frm the sun. This wuld reduce the amunt f energy the vehicle electrical system needs, lwering the fuel r electricity cnsumptin. In the interir, the technlgy culd, fr example, prevent the dashbard frm heating up t much. In electric cars, changing the clr with the weather wuld thus increase the range f the car. Cnsidering the recent push fr electric vehicles, this clr changing technlgy culd be a game-changer.
“Digital experiences wn’t just be limited t displays in the future. There will be mre and mre cnnectin between the real and virtual. With this cncept car, we are bringing the car bdy t life, ”says Frank Weber, a member f the bard f this cmpany.
28．The cncept car can change clrs mainly because f ________.

D
D yu knw frests are ne f ur planet’s greatest carbn sinks? This means that they absrb an enrmus amunt f carbn released int the atmsphere, a greenhuse gas that cntributes t climate change and the earth’s rising temperature.
The pplar tree, standing tall and regal, is knwn fr its fast-grwing nature and its gray, white, r black bark. A bitechnlgy firm in San Francisc, CA, genetically mdified pplar trees. Accrding t a fur-mnth study cnducted in their greenhuse, the engineered trees grew 53% larger than their nrmal cunterparts and stred 27% mre CO2. In February 2023, the cmpany als planted mdified pplar trees in suthern Gergia. This marks the first time in the United States that engineered trees have been planted utside f a cntrlled lab setting!
All plants experience phtsynthesis (光合作用), where sunlight, water, and CO2 are transfrmed int glucse and xygen. Hwever, almst all trees release a pisnus substance in the prcess. T remve this substance, trees must use up newly-prduced energy in anther step knwn as pht-respiratin (光呼吸作用), which des nt prduce any energy and releases CO2 back int the atmsphere. T prevent plants frm wasting their energy, the bitechnlgy firm engineered their pplar trees with genes fund in green algae. First tested in tbacc plants, the freign genes change the pisnus substance prduced by trees int sugars, s that mre energy can be used fr remving carbn and tree grwth.
Researchers frm the cmpany are planting their pplar trees n private land that has been previusly disturbed, such as abandned cal mines in Pennsylvania. The mdified trees will be planted between natives like sweet gum and bald cypress t bst bidiversity and maintain sil fertility (肥沃).
Plant bilgist Nrbert Martinez frm the University f Illinis suggests the engineered pplar trees may nt thrive utdrs r will require mre water and fertilizer t maintain their fast grwth. Many sustainable frestry rganizatins have als banned engineered trees frm being planted in frests. The Glbal Justice Eclgy Prject argued that these trees culd interfere with effrts t prtect and regenerate frests.
Thugh there may be ppsing pinins regarding genetically mdified pplar trees, ne thing is fr sure: they hld the ptential t lwer greenhuse gases in ur envirnment at a faster rate. This cmpany’s attempt is certainly an innvative apprach t the nging climate crisis.
31．What is Paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A．The necessity t absrb CO2.B．The basic idea behind engineered trees.
C．The effect f phtsynthesis n plants.D．The imprtance f energy transfrmatin.
32．What des the underlined phrase “interfere with” in Paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A．Save.B．Measure.C．Interrupt.D．Strengthen.
33．What can we infer abut the engineered pplar trees?
A．Their first planting state was Pennsylvania.
B．Their ptential t absrb CO2 utweighs cncerns.
C．They can release mre xygen than nrmal pplar trees.
D．They will grw better if planted away frm nrmal plants.
34．The main purpse f the passage is t ________.
A．infrm and argueB．analyse and advise
C．argue and discussD．examine and assess

They say t find ut what yu really want, g back t when yu were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted t be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discuraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the mst beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a prject t create a prtrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were dne, we presented ur prtraits. We std in frnt f the class and explained ur technique. I remember lking at ther prtraits thinking,“We were given the same skills, why d theirs lk s prfessinal and mine lks s amateur?”
But I still really enjyed painting because it’s a frgiving art. If I dn’t like what I’ve put n paper, I can paint ver it. I can mix clrs and make new nes. Als, I can release sme creative juices, use what has inspired me and allw that t pur ut f me in a way I may nt have imagined.
But because I have always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, I just decided t change what beauty lked like. I changed what beauty meant t me.
Thrughut schl, they taught us abut Picass, van Ggh and da Vinci, and I never saw myself r my art in their wrks. These artists were always painting whatever was in frnt f them and arund them. But that’s nt what I saw arund me.
Then I learned abut Basquiat, wh inspired me t paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m mved, and I am ften mved by what’s natural:emtins, nature, and ther frms f art. I am als very mved by pain. When there is pain in the wrld r in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a cnversatin with an activist in St.Luis named Spk, and I explained t her this feeling and she tld me,“Pain is energy. Yu have t learn hw t channel that energy int smething prductive.”S smetimes I channel that pain int art, int a painting.
Even if the picture desn’t turn ut aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by sciety’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able t create smething. My paintings may nt be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, s I lve them anyway.
40．What did the authr find after the prtrait presentatin?
41．What factrs mtivated the authr t keep his passin fr arts?
42．Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
The authr has always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, s he tried t meet sciety’s standards.
43．Besides painting,what ther art frm wuld yu use t express beauty? And explain why.(In abut 40 wrds)

37．空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Take the simple example f trying t decide whether t take public transprtatin fr 80 minutes r t drive fr 40 minutes.(举个简单的例子，试着决定是乘80分钟的公共交通工具还是开车40分钟。)”可知，本段主要讲述机会成本在日常生活中的应用。C项：Opprtunity cst matters nt nly in ecnmics but als in real life.(机会成本不仅在经济学中很重要，在现实生活中也很重要。)符合语境。故选C。
38．根据上文“Yu might save n the cst f gas while riding the bus but duble the trip length and miss ut n ther things yu culd have dne during that time.(你可能会在乘坐公共汽车时节省汽油费用，但会使行程长度增加一倍，并错过在这段时间内你可以做的其他事情。)”可知，在做决定之前要权衡利弊。B项：Weigh the lsses and gains, and make yur decisin.(权衡得失，再做决定。)符合语境。故选B。
39．根据上文“Thugh useful in decisin making, the biggest drawback f pprtunity cst is that it’s ften related t what’s hard t quantify. (虽然机会成本在决策中很有用，但它最大的缺点是它往往与难以量化的东西有关。)”可知，此处提出机会成本的局限性，结合下文“After all, putting a number t yur peaceful mind r happiness can be difficult.(毕竟，用一个数字来形容你内心的平静或快乐是很困难的。)”可知，像情绪等非经济利益机会成本难以形容。D项：This is especially true when the pprtunity cst is f nn-financial benefit.(当机会成本是非经济利益时尤其如此。)符合语境。故选D。
40．Others’/Other kids’ prtraits lked s prfessinal and/but his lked s amateur. 41．His childhd dream; His belief that painting is a frgiving art; The inspiratin he gt frm Basquiat; The fact that he culd channel pain int art. 42．The authr has always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, s he tried t meet sciety’s standards.

Besides, any musical elements like lyrics, meldy r rhyme can be expressive, cnveying beauty and enjyment t the audience.
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我小的时候不擅长绘画，因为我一直想画出美丽的画，所以我决定改变美丽的样子，我开始带着情感创作抽象画，并且不管这些画在世人的眼中是否美好，我都喜欢我的作品。
40．考查细节理解。根据第二段“I remember lking at ther prtraits thinking,“We were given the same skills, why d theirs lk s prfessinal and mine lks s amateur?”（记得看到其他肖像时，我想，“我们被赋予了同样的技能，为什么他们的看起来如此专业，而我的看起来如此业余？”）”可知，其他孩子的肖像看起来很专业，但他的肖像看起来很业余。故答案为Others’/Other kids’ prtraits lked s prfessinal and/but his lked s amateur。
41．推理判断题。根据第二段“When I was a kid, I really wanted t be a painter, but I was never great at it.（我还是个孩子的时候，我真的很想成为一名画家，但我从来都不擅长。）”及第三段“But I still really enjyed painting because it’s a frgiving art.（但我仍然非常喜欢绘画，因为这是一种宽容的艺术。）”及第六段“Then I learned abut Basquiat, wh inspired me t paint abstract pictures.（然后我了解了巴斯奎特，他激励我画抽象画。）”及倒数第二段“S smetimes I channel that pain int art, int a painting.（所以有时我会把这种痛苦转化为艺术，转化为绘画。）”可知，激励作者保持对艺术事业的热情的是他儿时的梦想；他相信绘画是一种宽容的艺术；他从巴斯奎特那里得到的灵感以及他可以将痛苦转化为艺术的想法。故答案为：His childhd dream; His belief that painting is a frgiving art; The inspiratin he gt frm Basquiat; The fact that he culd channel pain int art。
42．细节理解题。根据第四段“But because I have always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, I just decided t change what beauty lked like. I changed what beauty meant t me.（但因为我一直想画出美丽的画，所以我决定改变美丽的样子。我改变了美丽对我的意义。）”可知，作者在想要画出美丽图画时想要改变的是美丽的样子和对美的定义，并没有尝试满足社会的标准，“s he tried t meet sciety’s standards（所以他尝试满足社会的标准）”是错误的，故答案为：The authr has always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, s he tried t meet sciety’s standards.S he just decided t change what beauty lked like, and he changed what beauty meant t him./S he changed what beauty lked like./But he didn’t try t meet the sciety’s standards。
43．开放性试题。除了绘画，我用唱歌来表达美。通过演唱我最喜欢的歌曲，我可以表达我对生活中美好事物的热情和欣赏。此外，任何音乐元素，如歌词、旋律或押韵，都可以向观众传达美。故答案为：I use singing t express beauty. By singing my favrite sngs, I can vice my passin and appreciatin twards beautiful things in life. Besides, any musical elements like lyrics, meldy r rhyme can cnvey beauty t the audience。
