Our ship sailed n the sea int the Earth’s night. Here, there was n visible light frm the Sun r the Earth Engines. But as we lked up, we children saw the starry sky fr the first time in ur lives. Hw breathtakingly beautiful it was!
Ms Xing put an arm arund us while pinting at the sky with her ther hand. “Lk, children! That is Prxima Centauri (比邻星), ur new hme!” With these wrds, tears ran slwly dwn her face. Befre lng, we were all in tears—even the captain and crew. We all lked in the directin that Ms Xing was pinting. There was nly ne pint f light amng the twinkling stars that shined cnstantly: Prxima Centauri—the nly surce f hpe and cmfrt fr a hundred future generatins. “Whatever risks we might take, we will finally make it there!” said the captain, in an assured vice.
On ur way back frm the sea, we saw the first sign that Earth had begun its jurney. In the night sky, a huge cmet had appeared. It was the Mn, abandned by humankind. Lunar Engines had been installed t the Mn t frce it ut f its rbit s that a disastrus crash culd be avided as the Earth sped up and mved away. As it prgressed, the gravitatinal tide f the Mn caused the cean t swell, creating gigantic waves. We quickly gt ff the ship t ur destinatin in the Suthern Hemisphere. The next few days were the cuntdwn t ur departure.
Finally came the big day! As Earth Engines was set at a full pwer, we gt immediately blinded by the bright light frm it. This acceleratin created massive tsunamis hundreds f meters high that crashed nt the casts f every cntinent. Burning ht hurricanes rared thrugh the biling waves, screaming with wild fury and pulling up almst every tree n Earth.
Our Earth, with its blue tail cutting thrugh the darkness f space, had set ut n its lng jurney, and with it went all f humankind.

In the summer f 2021, the Pacific Nrthwest experienced a severe heatwave that caused widespread panic and destructin. Temperatures reached recrd levels, including 114℉ in Prtland.
A heatwave, brn ver the Pacific, drifted inland and grew in intensity, creating a heat dme. Ice was the first victim, and as snwpacks melted, glaciers released fast flwing muddy water that flded twns. Salmn, sensing the water temperature change, began migrating early. But then they struggled t breathe as the rivers warmed. Vegetatin was next—unable t escape the heat, it struggled t hld water. Bighrn sheep mved t higher grund, dves panted like dgs, baby eagles jumped t their deaths in an attempt t fly t escape verheating with their siblings.
In 72 hurs, the fficial number f human deaths was 1,000—but the actual number is likely higher, especially amng the elderly, pr, and medically vulnerable. The twn f Lyttn, British Clumbia was burned dwn when temperatures there hit 121℉. Over a billin sea creatures met their deaths ver the three days.
Such a heatwave in the Pacific Nrthwest had been thught t be as likely as snw in the Sahara. But then it happened. Right nw, scientists can’t predict where r when such heat will appear next, but they d knw that ccurrences such as this are a direct result f human activities. As fssil-fuel burning increases levels f heat-trapping gases like carbn dixide, the planet warms. Heat is the prime mver f climate chas, melting ice, . drying sil, , and even reviving ancient bacteria frm thawed permafrst (永冻土解冻).
Humans might be able t engineer their way ut f anything—cities like Ls Angeles and Paris are already wrking t deflect (使偏斜) sunlight and have mre shade trees. But there are limits t adaptatin fr Earth’s ppulatin f nearly 8 billin. Parts f the Middle East and Suth Asia are already t ht fr humans in summer.
28. Hw is the impact f the heatwave presented in Paragraph 2?
A. By telling a stry.B. By listing examples.
C. By giving a definitin.D. By making cmparisns.
29. What des the underlined wrd “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prtected.B. Disturbed.C. Healthy.D. Weak.
30. What can we learn frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. Peple cnsidered the heatwave in the Pacific Nrthwest as cmmn.
B. Such heat will certainly appear again as a result f human activities.
C. Ls Angeles and Paris have already helped themselves ut f heatwaves.
D. The earth’s adaptability t heatwaves has limits with such a large ppulatin.
31. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Temperatures Reaching Recrd High
B. Human Activities Causing a Heatwave
C. A Heatwave Hitting the Pacific Nrthwest
D. Panic and Destructin Caused by a Heatwave

If yu find yurself embracing the thrilling chas f cmpleting tasks at the last minute, cngratulatins—Yu are nt alne! Accrding t a survey, 20% f U.S. adults prcrastinate (拖延) at hme, at wrk, in relatinships, and mre. Anther survey fund that 88% f peple prcrastinate at least ne hur a day.
Sunds alarming? As it turns ut, if yu’re feeling stressed, yu may be mre likely t prcrastinate. Essentially, ur brains are structured t apprach tasks we find enjyable and avid thse we are afraid f. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emtinal part f ur brain, is screaming, “Let’s d anything but that stressful thing!” while ur prefrntal crtex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO f ur brain, setting the gals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay n track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — wh will win? Actually, there d exist chances when ur limbic brain verrides that prefrntal crtex message.
Then there’s the burst f energy we ften get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads t a reward pathway within ur brains and sets the fundatin fr prcrastinatin as a habit. When yu race t the end and get t the gal finally, yur previus stress is gne and yu almst get in that pattern f “See, I wrk better under pressure!”
S, hw t beat prcrastinatin? Well, yu need t retrain yur brain t cpe with the stress. One trick is t take peridic breaks (reward) t refcus yur attentin n the task. Ever heard f the Prmdr Technique? It’s abut wrking fr 25 minutes and resting fr 5. During thse breaks, frget abut brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditatin r yga instead. Anther trick is t “eat the frg” first thing in the mrning, r tackle the mst difficult and stressful task f the day, as was nce said by Mark Twain.
32. Why are the tw surveys mentined in the first paragraph?
A. T warn the readers.B. T intrduce a cncept.
C. T present a phenmenn.D. T make a cmparisn.
33. Which f the fllwing statements will the authr mst prbably agree with?
A. We are brn t prefer what we like and avid what we fear.
B. The limbic brain is under the cntrl f the prefrntal crtex.
C. We are mre likely t burst when getting clse t the deadline.
D. Failing t cmplete a task can lead t habitual prcrastinatin.
34. What des the authr suggest readers d t stp prcrastinatin?
A. Frce the brain t fcus.B. Take a break regularly.
C. Slve a tricky math prblem.D. Eat smething refreshing first.
35. What is the tne f this text?
A. Humrus.B. Irnic.C. Serius.D. Unclear.

39 Typgraphic prints will inject the space with a sense f fun and a cl, cntemprary feel. Black and white phtgraphy, n the ther hand, can stimulate a mre depressing atmsphere. The clurs used in the piece will als be smething t cnsider—greens and blues have cmfrting prperties s are mild fr a bedrm. Blder and brighter tnes, n the cntrary, suit dynamic areas better.
Once yu’ve chsen yur artwrk, it’s time t think abut hw best t shwcase it arund yur hme. Gallery walls are a ppular way if yu want t create a central pint. 40 By the way, yu can add vases and ptted plants t create anther dimensin.

It was Christmas Eve mrning, and I awke with a missin: t find my lst cat, Baby-Girl. It had been six mnths since she’d gne missing, but I still had faith. It was the seasn fr miracles, after all.
That summer, my sweet kitty had disappeared frm my parents’ huse while I was away frm hme. My dad and I spent that entire visit searching fr her. Dad was the family’s “realist”, which meant he spent a whle lt f time trying t prepare me fr the wrst. “She’s either been hit by a car r been taken in by smene wh fund her,” he said. I rlled my eyes. Dad always supprted me, but he was s skeptical (怀疑的).
Thugh I culdn’t explain it, I knew I’d see Baby-Girl again. She wuld survive n her wn. If any cat culd d the impssible, it was my Baby-Girl. Deep dwn I had this feeling that we’d be reunited.
Nw, hme again fr the hlidays, I was determined t pick up my search. I grabbed Baby-Girl’s cat carrier and laded it int the car, then asked my dad t drive me t the shelter, hping she’d been fund.
“Sharn, yu have t be realistic,” my dad said as we headed t the garage. “She’s been gne t lng. Yu’re nt ging t find her.”
“Dn’t yu believe in Christmas miracles?” I asked.
“Bah humbug (呸，胡扯),” he said, lightening the md. It was his favrite Christmas saying and an inside jke in ur family. He even had a shirt with the phrase printed acrss the frnt, which he wre every Christmas mrning.
At the shelter, we walked thrugh rws f cages. My eyes scanned cats f all shapes and sizes. Nne f them was my Baby-Girl. Then I nticed a rm farther back. I pushed ahead. “Sweetheart, that’s where they keep the cats that just came in,” Dad said. “Yur cat wuldn’t be in there.”

Pssible versin 1:
Para 1. I stepped int the rm and heard a familiar mew. My eyes zered in n a little tabby cat with big green eyes. She was skinnier than I remembered, but it was Baby-Girl all right! My eyes welled up with tears. I pened the cage dr. Baby-Girl practically jumped int my arms. I held her clse as Dad lked n, muth agape. “Dad! It’s Baby-Girl!” I cried. “There’s just n way…” he mumbled t himself. I pinted ut that this cat matched Baby-Girl’s descriptin perfectly—right dwn t her hind left white paw. It was as if fate had waited fr the perfect mment t bring her back t me. Hlding her clse, I felt the weight f the past six mnths lift. Still, he lked uncertain. (117wrds)
Para 2. Back hme, Dad remained stubbrnly skeptical. “It just cannt be her,” he said. “Nt after all this time.” I rlled my eyes. Baby-Girl seemed cmpletely at hme. She purred like a mtr bat, rubbing up against ur legs. She made her way dwn t the basement, where her litter bx was kept. “See? Hw wuld she knw that the bx was there if she hadn’t been here befre?” I said t Dad. He cnsidered fr a mment and then ndded his head. Lking at each ther, we bth laughed. My heart was filled with gratitude—my cat was hme again, six mnths after ging missing. The next day, when Dad came dwnstairs fr Christmas mrning, he was wearing a new hliday shirt. It read: I Believe! (120wrds)
Pssible versin 2:
Para 1. I stepped int the rm and heard a familiar mew. My heart leaped. Racing twards the sund, I fund myself face t face with a cat that lked exactly like Baby-Girl.
