She enjoys singing, cooking, and hanging out with her friends. But very much unlike other teenagers of her age, she is now studying biological science at university. She is more than ten years younger than the other medical students. Alena has had a strong interest in STEM-science, technology, engineering, and math from an early age. She always has a hunger for knowledge. When she was in fifth grade, she started to attend high school-level courses online after school. “Taking extra classes was more of a pleasure than a pain,” Alena said. She is also interested in novels such as To Kill a Mockingbird. But you are wrong if you think Alena is just a bookworm. In addition to schoolwork, the girl has created the “Brown STEM Girls” program. These days, women make up 28 percent of the science workforce in the US. Among them, only about five percent are women of color. Alena wants to change this. Through the program, she is trying to create a path to success for all girls like her. As Alena’s teacher said, what really sets the girl apart from the other teenagers is not her brain but her heart. Alena always wants to help and lift others up. Her goal is to use her knowledge and skills to help people in need. Alena hopes to serve as an example to others. She wants to prove that someone’s age, gender, or race should never stand in the way of his or her success. “You can achieve anything as long as you put your heart and mind into it,” she said. “You can do it. Don’t let anybody tell you no.” 11. How is Alena different from other teenagers of her age? A. She is a bookworm. B. She has a lot of hobbies. C. She is a university student now. D. She is good at biological science. 12. What can we learn about Alena from paragraph 2? A. She rarely reads literary works. B. She is eager to learn more knowledge. C. She finds it painful to take extra classes. D. She went to high school when she was in fifth grade. 13. Why did Alena create the program? A. To read more books. B. To help the girls of color like her. C. To finish her schoolwork. D. To help all women in the science workforce. 14. What did the teacher probably think of Alena? A. Helpful. B. Smart. C. Hard-working. D. Confident. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Other students have learned a lot from Alena. B. Alena never says no to others when they need help. C. Age, race and gender are important to one’s success. D. Alena believes “Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.” Passage B Scientists have discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some unusual helpers: tiger sharks. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean. Sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as meadows (草甸). Sea grass meadows not only help clean the ocean's water and provide food and shelter for many sea creatures but also help fight against the climate crisis. Sea grass meadows store huge amounts of carbon-the harmful pollution that’s making global warming worse. Damaging them can release this pollution again, so it’s important to protect them. However, scientists don’t know the exact size and number of the world’s sea grass meadows. The meadows can be hard to spot, because the water is either too deep or not clear enough. And the ocean is so huge that it’s simply not possible to study it all by diving. So a team of scientists decided to have sharks help with the research. Tiger sharks are fast swimmers that live underwater. They also spend a lot of time in sea grass meadows. Between 2016 and 2020, a team of researchers attached (系上) cameras and other trackers to the fins (鱼鳍) of seven tiger sharks. After catching the sharks, the scientists worked quickly to attach the equipment, then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after a few hours and float to the surface. Tracking signals helped the scientists find the cameras and collect the videos. The scientists were left with hours of videos taken as the sharks traveled for miles over the sea floor. With the help of sharks, the scientists have discovered the largest sea grass meadow. 16 Who helped scientists discover the world’s largest known field of sea grass? A. Tigers. B. Explorers. C. Photographers. D. Sharks. 17. Which of the following is the reason for protecting sea grass meadows? A. Meadows grow it shallow waters. B. A lot of carbon is stored in meadows. C. All sea creatures need meadows for food. D. Meadows clean thick fields under the water. 18 Which of the following words can replace the word “spot” in paragraph 4? A. Notice. B. Protect. C. Grow. D. Catch. 19. What’s the main idea of paragraph 5? A. How the tiger sharks find the cameras. B. How the researchers attach the equipment. C. How the tiger sharks help with the research. D. How the researchers travel over the sea floor. 20. What is the best title of this passage? A. Sharks Play a Role in Protecting Sea Grass B. Sharks Help Discover Sea Grass Meadows C. Scientists Find a Way to Explore the Ocean D. Scientists Use Sea Grass to Protect the Ocean Passage C Please read the passage carefully. Choose five proper sentences from the six to fill in the gaps. Make sure that the passage is coherent (连贯). When thoughts become too much If you lie awake at night, thinking over a decision you made earlier that day or worrying about tomorrow’s to-do list, you might be overthinking. ____21____ It also means thinking about the things beyond their actual value. ____22____ According to scientists, overthinking comes from an old habit of thinking from ancient times. Our brains always look out for dangers, planning how to deal with them to keep us safe. Some people believe that overthinking may help us think about a problem carefully and get ready for what might happen. ____23____ Thinking the worst can lead to misunderstandings with other people. What’s more it may also cause stress and anxiety. So, why not do something else instead of sitting and thinking about a problem endlessly? Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you are doing something fun. ____24____ Besides, you can challenge these thoughts when you find yourself overthinking. ____25____ It can be difficult at first, but learning to find yourself overthinking can help you change negative thoughts into more positive ones. Thinking is a two-way street. We can have many different thoughts. But in the end, it’s up to us to decide if we accept them. A. Why do people overthink? B. Focus on things outside of your control. C. However, overthinking can hurt relationships. D. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities. E. For example, you can try gardening, jogging, and chatting with your friends. F. Overthinking means going over the same thought again and again negatively. Passage D Read the following six pieces of advice on school life. Please choose the most helpful advice for each student based on their situations. ____26____ Olivia finds history homework challenging. She is in search of a supportive study environment where she can benefit from the help of her classmates. ____27____ Max finds it difficult to manage his time between football practice and homework. He wants to do well in both but worries about getting stressed out. ____28____ Liam is excited about joining the school’s science club.

Our classmates have different opinions on this topic. Some supporters argue that cormorant fishing is a part of our cultural heritage. If we don’t protect it, we will lose a piece of our history. In addition, cormorant fishing, with its unique charm, can attract lots of tourists, thereby promoting the development of the local economy. On the other hand, opponents worry about the living condition of the birds, suggesting that it may be cruel to use them in this way. Besides, they think that cormorant fishing is outdated. It is less efficient than modern fishing. In my opinion, conserving the traditions and developing modern technology are both important.
