The student arrived early, sat frnt and center, and std ut in my classrm in mre ways than ne.I’d say that he was abut 40 years lder than his classmates in my undergraduate cmmunicatins class.He eagerly jumped int class discussins, with his humr and wisdm f experience.And he was always respectful f the ther students’ perspectives, as if each f them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile — and he left with ne t.
“These students gave me the cnfidence that I didn’t need t feel bad abut my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I sptted Valencia n campus.He said he wuld have t stp taking classes that semester and reapply fr next year.By then, he hped t have earned enugh mney and have his student-lan papers in rder.He asked seriusly whether he culd still sit in n my cmmunicatins class.
Sure, I said.But he wuldn’t get any credit.
N prblem, he said.
Sn there he was again, back at his ld desk, jumping int ur discussins n hw t find and tell stries in Ls Angeles — a 63-year-ld man with as much energy and curisity as any f the yungsters in class.
A lt f Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he culdn’t affrd that semester’s tuitin but was still ding the hmewrk.“Here he is, willingly taking a class fr the delight f it and benefit f learning,” says Jessica Espinsa, a 25-year-ld junir.Afterward, I verheard Valencia wanted t stay in schl until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years t finish cmmunity cllege, s he had a lng way t g.
There is smething splendidly unreasnable abut Valencia’s determinatin t get a fur-year degree and then a master’s.At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper n the wall.But that desn’t seem especially relevant.He’s fund all the yuthful energy and academic pprtunity stimulating.Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will nt shw up n his transcripts(成绩单).But I’m giving him an A — and in the mst imprtant ways, it cunts.
24.What made Valencia different frm his classmates?

26.Which f the fllwing best describes Valencia?

Frget abut “military-style travel” during which peple tend t visit as many places as pssible in the least amunt f time.A mre relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becming the nrm amng urban yungsters.

Lin Yi, a manager fr an nline platfrm fr self-guided turs, said Citywalk can help travelers learn abut lcal culture and live as lcal peple d, feeling the vibes f a city.Peple wh participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussins with each ther, he said.

In rder t survive trips t Mars, humans need xygen.Nw, a team f scientists has designed a rbt that culd extract (提取) xygen frm water n the Red Planet.
The rbt, which is called “AI chemist”, used a machine learning mdel t find a cmpund that culd ignite an xygen-prducing chemical reactin n Mars.The cmpund, knwn as a catalyst (催化剂), is made entirely frm elements fund in Martian meterites (陨石) —which means, if such a system culd wrk reliably, space travelers wuld nt need t bring xygen r even the catalyst needed t prduce it.
Mars’ atmsphere cntains nly trace amunts f xygen.But scientists have detected evidence f liquid water beneath the planet’s suthern ice cap.T create the breathable gas, researchers wanted t find a way t break dwn this water int its hydrgen and xygen mlecules using materials fund n Mars.
Their rbt analyzed five meterites that either came frm Mars r had a cmpsitin similar t that f the Martian surface.Using a laser, it identified significant amunts f irn, nickel, calcium, magnesium, aluminum and manganese in the samples.Frm these six elements, the rbt’s algrithm (算法) determined it culd prduce mre than 3.7 millin pssible mlecules t break dwn water and frm xygen n Mars.Accrding t the researchers, finding the best ne frm this extensive list wuld take rughly 2,000 years f human labr, but fr the AI chemist, it tk nly weeks.
“On Earth, we dn’t use these six elements,” Yi Lu, a c-authr f the study says.“They are nt the best chices fr catalysts, but it’s nly what yu’ve gt n Mars.”
With its chsen catalyst, the system culd prduce xygen frm the Martian materials at arund -37℃, demnstrating the chemical reactin culd be pssible n the cld Martian surface.
Ntably, the rbt was able t carry ut the entire prcess—analyzing the rck samples, identifying the best pssible catalyst and prducing it withut human interventin.
32.What des the underlined wrd “ignite” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Delay.B.Limit.C.Change.D.Cause.
33.What is the basis f extracting xygen n Mars?
A.The xygen that Mars’ atmsphere cntains.
B.The scientists’ previus study n meterites.
C.The existence f water and catalyst n Mars.
D.The amazing learning ability f “AI chemist”
34.What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A.The finding f six elements.
B.The advantages f the rbts.
C.The frmatin f the meterites.
D.The prcess f prducing xygen.
35.What is the writer’s attitude twards “AI chemist”?
A.Dubtful. B.Favrable. C.Unclear. D.Indifferent.

Beautiful Birthmarks: The Pwer f Acceptance
Whenever yu hear the wrd “birthmark(胎记)”, yu prbably think f ne f thse black r brwn spts yu have smewhere n yur bdy.Hwever, fr me, it’s cmpletely different—I have them bth n my lips and inside my muth, which make them quite visible and, t me, ugly.When I was yung, these birthmarks kept making me feel extremely awkward and self-cnscius(难为情的).As these birthmarks always drew a lt f attentin, peple ften asked me, “What are thse black marks n yur lips?” When I tld peple that they were birthmarks, they usually said, “Hw strange！”
In pictures, I used t hide my birthmarks by pursing(噘起) my lips, s I wuld nt have t deal with peple’s questins.As I was grwing up, the situatin didn’t get any better.In the schl, my classmates wuld always tease me, making me feel hurt and helpless.In sciety, I ften encuntered individuals wh wuld inquire abut my birthmarks even befre they knew my name.Such experiences left me feeling disheartened.I felt like peple judged me by my appearance withut cnsidering my persnality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic cnditin frm my mm’s side f the family.My mm’s mm has birthmarks n her lips, and my mm’s uncle and my uncle have sme n their bdies.I used t try t cver them up with makeup, but it never lked gd.I even cnsulted a dctr, wanting t have surgery t remve them.But when imagining the prcess, I wuld get nervus and eventually give up.
Whenever I cried t my mm abut them, she wuld always cmfrt me and say, “Learn t accept them and see them as beautiful birthmarks.” Hwever, it wasn’t easy fr me t accept my wn birthmarks.Every time I shwed my birthmarks, peple wuld lk at me with strange eyes.I began t regret why I had given up n the surgery and chsen t accept my birthmarks.
注意：1.续写词数应为 150 词左右。 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
One day, I met my cusin, wh als had a large birthmark n his arm.

Frm then n, when I met peple, I began t change myself.
