Cohen only began making chainmail jewelry in April with no previous experience in jewelry making. Stuck on campus until long past the end of the semester, Cohen found themselves looking for something to keep them occupied, which led to them searching for courses online and on Pinterest after getting initial inspiration from Etsy. “This was the first time I learned how to like an actual craft and like multiple dimensions of it,” Cohen said. “This also lighted my passion for business. This idea originally started out only for my friends. And because I wanted them to get cool jewelry without having to break the bank.” Cohen began selling their jewelry to friends and on Instagram, and eventually at art markets: around town. These markets have also been Cohen’s entry into Rochester’s dynamic art community attracting University of Rochester students, students on other campuses, and young professionals in the city. This has allowed them to learn from each other and improve on their art by learning different skills and employing different tips and tricks in their pieces. Cohen has connected with Rochester Institute of Technology and Middlesex Community College students, learning that the former institution has a jewelry- making major and meeting students within the major. “They’ve praised my work, which is absolutely crazy,” Cohen said. “This has unintentionally been a great way to make friends.” These connections led to them getting the chance to host a beginner chainmail class themselves. “I know I’m capable of teaching other people and it’s really fun to share my love for this because as a STEM major, I get so wrapped up in it, and being able to find a way out is nice.” After graduation, Cohen plans to apply to different graduate schools and continue their small business on the side. “I want this to remain something I love,” Cohen said. 4. What inspired Cohen to start the business? A. His previous experience. B. The thought of getting busy. C. His passion for jewelry making. D. The inspiration from online courses. 5. What can we know about Cohen’s chainmail jewelry? A. It is reasonably priced. B. It was initially sold online. C. It is professionally designed. D. It was first intended for credits. 6. What can people do in Rochester’s art community? A. Attend courses of jewelry making. B. Raise their skills in making jewelry. C. Gain admission to the jewelry major. D. Achieve a goal of gaining treasure. 7. Why did Cohen teach other people to make jewelry? A. To show the love for art. B. To share a way of relief. C. To realize his dream of helping others. D. To display his talent in making jewelry. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述STEM专业的学生Vic Cohen开创自己的链甲珠宝生意的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cohen found themselves looking for something to keep them occupied, which led to them searching for courses online and on Pinterest after getting initial inspiration from Etsy. “This was the first time I learned how to like an actual craft and like multiple dimensions of it,” Cohen said. “This also lighted my passion for business. (Cohen发现自己在寻找一些让自己有事可做的事情，这导致他们在Etsy上获得最初的灵感后，在网上和Pinterest上搜索课程。Cohen说：‘这是我第一次学会如何喜欢一艘真正的飞船，以及它的多个维度。’这也点燃了我对商业的热情)”可知，Cohen在网上课程获得的灵感鼓舞他开始了他的珠宝生意，故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“And because I wanted them to get cool jewelry without having to break the bank.(因为我想让他们不用倾家荡产就能得到很酷的珠宝)”可知，Cohen的链甲珠宝定价合理，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This has allowed them to learn from each other and improve on their art by learning different skills and employing different tips and tricks in their pieces.(这使他们能够相互学习，通过学习不同的技能和在他们的作品中使用不同的技巧和技巧来提高他们的艺术水平)”可知，人们在Rochester艺术社区可以提高制作珠宝的技巧，故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I know I’m capable of teaching other people and it’s really fun to share my love for this(我知道我有能力教别人，分享我对这项工作的热爱真的很有趣)”可知，Cohen教别人制作珠宝是为了展示对艺术的热爱，故选A。 C Social media is welcoming a new self-care practice: bed rotting (床腐). Creators say the trend, which involves lazing in bed for hours to days at a time but not sleeping, can help with mental health. But while it can be energizing to take a rest day every once in a while, experts warn that staying bedridden for too long can be harmful to your physical and mental health. During bed rotting, the “rotter” replaces. productive activities with aimless activities like phone scrolling (滚屏), watching TV shows and so on. This trend is most popular among young people who may feel extremely worn- out from work and other demands. In today’s fast-paced world, enthusiasts say bed rotting is a way to let your body and mind recharge from commitments and responsibilities. And mental health experts agree — to an extent. “Taking a day off or even a weekend from the world and staying in bed can be rejuvenating for some,” says Dr. Andrea Papa- Molter, the chief medical officer at Advantage Behavioral Health in Laurel Springs, New Jersey. “For most people it is a form of self-care and a way of regaining energy after a tiring day of work and is safe for short periods of time.” “While a quick bed-rotting session may provide temporary. comfort for escape for some, staying in bed all day for multiple days may cause negative consequences. Humans need exercise, vitamin D from the sun, as well as socialization to survive. ” Papa-Molter says, “It becomes harmful when someone avoids contact with others, which can cause feelings of being separated, and what’s worse, depression and anxiety.” Dr. David Cutler, a family medicine physician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, says, “People who are feeling so emotionally worn-out that they can’t engage in their usual activities need to see a mental health professional.” Having tiredness after a long day or week is normal, but if it is influencing your work and social life, then it is a good idea to talk to a psychologist who can help you get to the root cause of your bed rotting and learn new coping skills. 8. What can we know concerning bed rotting from Paragraph 1? A. Bed rotters sleep a lot. B. Bed rotting harms health. C. Bed rotters hate screen time. D. Bed rotting inspires creativity. 9. What does the underlined word “rejuvenating” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Harmful. B. Green. C. Refreshing. D. Charming. 10. What can be concluded from Papa-Molter’s words in Paragraph 3? A. A little is enough but more proves better. B. Separation gains no wisdom from others. C. The good and the bad are interchangeable. D. One finds peace alone but trouble in groups. 11. What is the suggestion given by David Cutler? A. Upgrading social skills. B. Turning to psychologists. C. Doing physical examinations. D. Engaging, in emotional actions. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“床腐”的定义、流行原因、可能的影响以及专家的建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But while it can be energizing to take a rest day every once in a while, experts warn that staying bedridden for too long can be harmful to your physical and mental health.(虽然每隔一段时间休息一天会让你精力充沛，但专家警告说，长时间卧床可能会对你的身心健康有害)”可知，床腐危害健康。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“In today’s fast-paced world, enthusiasts say bed rotting is a way to let your body and mind recharge from commitments and responsibilities. And mental health experts agree — to an extent.(在当今这个快节奏的世界里，热衷者说，床腐是一种让你的身体和精神从承诺和责任中恢复活力的方式。心理健康专家在一定程度上同意这一观点)”以及划线词上文“Taking a day off or even a weekend from the world and staying in bed can be”可知，心理健康专家同意床腐是一种让你的身体和精神从承诺和责任中恢复活力的方式，说明对于一些人来说，远离世界一天，甚至一个周末，躺在床上可以令人精神焕发。故“rejuvenating”在这里的意思是“令人精神焕发的”，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““While a quick bed-rotting session may provide temporary comfort for escape for some, staying in bed all day for multiple days may cause negative consequences. Humans need exercise, vitamin D from the sun, as well as socialization to survive. ” Papa-Molter says, “It becomes harmful when someone avoids contact with others, which can cause feelings of being separated, and what’s worse, depression and anxiety.”(“虽然对一些人来说，快速的床腐期可能会为逃避提供暂时的安慰，但整天躺在床上几天可能会导致负面后果。人类需要锻炼，从太阳中获取维生素D，以及社交才能生存。”Papa-Molter说：“当一个人避免与他人接触时，这会变得有害，这会导致被分离的感觉，更糟糕的是，会导致抑郁和焦虑。”)”可知，床腐有好有坏，两者是可以相互转换的，即好处和坏处是可以互换的，故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr. David Cutler, a family medicine physician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, says, “People who are feeling so emotionally worn-out that they can’t engage in their usual activities need to see a mental health professional.”(圣莫尼卡普罗维登斯圣约翰健康中心的家庭医学医生大卫·卡特勒博士说:“那些感觉情绪疲惫到无法参与日常活动的人需要去看心理健康专家。”)”可知，David Cutler建议那些感到情绪极度疲惫的人去看心理健康专家，即求助于心理学家，故选B。 D Verbal communication is one of the many reasons why humans have become so successful as a species. While recent science shows that passive plants have their own “language” of interaction and their talk systems may be more complex and sensitive. Recently, scientists discovered just how well-connected plants are and how efficiently they can send messages to their peers via electrical signals and the fungal (真菌的) network. For example, electrophysiology is a relatively new scientific discipline that studies how electrical signals in and between plants are communicated and interpreted. To achieve this, scientists inserted (植入) small. electrical sensors to monitor and control crop: watering, and to test how changes in electrical signals relate to plant performance such as transporting water and nutrient. Researchers even found that electrical signals could make plants perform basic responses like opening or closing leaves. The recent study also revealed that a great deal of plant-to-plant communication happens below ground, aided by large fungal networks known as the “wood wide web”, which connect trees and plants underground, allowing them to share resources like water, nutrition and information. Through this system, older trees can help younger ones grow, and trees can warn each other about dangers. It’s like an underground Internet for trees and plants, helping them support and communicate with each other. And the network is extensive, with over 80% of plants believed to be connected, making it one of the oldest communication systems globally. Just as the Internet enables us to connect, share ideas, knowledge and information that can influence decision- making, the “wood wide web” allows plants to use fungi as a “language” to prepare for environmental changes. The research also noted that disturbing the soil through chemicals, deforestation or climate change can result in communication-disconnection among plants, leaving them more sensitive, and in turn, making it more difficult to protect and restore ecosystems around the world. So protecting the environment is the priority. After all, we human being depend upon plants for our well-being and survival. 12. Why is an example mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To uncover a secret. B. To prove a statement. C. To explain a discipline. D. To introduce a research. 13. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. What the network means to plants. B. How the fungal network functions. C. How plants interact with each other. D. What the “wood wide web” includes. 14. What can be done to prevent the disconnection among plants? A. Enhancing deforestation. B. Changing global climate. C. Banning the use of chemicals. D. Pursuing the eco- friendly life. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Plant communication: a secret to be found. B. Fungal network: a plant “Internet” system. C. Fungal network: an invisible wire in forest. D. Plant talk: a hidden “language” in ecosystem. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究发现：植物也有自己的“语言”，它们通过电信号和真菌网络进行交流。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Recently, scientists discovered just how well-connected plants are and how efficiently they can send messages to their peers via electrical signals and the fungal (真菌的) network. For example, electrophysiology is a relatively new scientific discipline that studies how electrical signals in and between plants are communicated and interpreted.(最近，科学家们发现植物之间的联系是多么紧密，它们通过电信号和真菌网络向同类发送信息的效率是多么高。例如，电生理学是一门相对较新的科学学科，研究植物内部和植物之间的电信号是如何交流和解释的。)”并结合下文可知，科学家们发现植物可以通过电信号和真菌网络和同伴高效沟通,电生理学这个例子证明了科学家的观点。故选B项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The recent study also revealed that a great deal of plant-to-plant communication happens below ground, aided by large fungal networks known as the“ wood wide web”, which connect trees and plants underground, allowing them to share resources like water, nutrition and information.(最近的研究还表明，植物与植物之间的大量交流发生在地下，这得益于被称为“wood wide web”的大型真菌网络，它将地下的树木和植物连接起来，使它们能够共享水、营养和信息等资源。)”和“Just as the Internet enables us to connect, share ideas, knowledge and information that can influence decision-making, the “wood wide web” allows plants to use fungi as a “language” to prepare for environmental changes.(正如互联网使我们能够联系、分享可以影响决策的想法、知识和信息一样，“wood wide web”使植物能够使用真菌作为“语言”，为环境变化做准备。)”可知，第四段主要讨论了真菌网络(即“木维网”)是如何运作的,它连接了树木和植物,并使它们能够在地下共享资源,如水营养和信息。该段落详细描述了“木维网”的功能和它在植物沟通中的作用。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The research also noted that disturbing the soil through chemicals, deforestation or climate change can result in communication-disconnection among plants, leaving them more sensitive, and in turn, making it more difficult to protect and restore ecosystems around the world. So protecting the environment is the priority. After all, we human being depend upon plants for our well-being and survival.(该研究还指出，通过化学物质、森林砍伐或气候变化扰乱土壤可能导致植物之间的沟通中断，使它们更加敏感，从而使保护和恢复世界各地的生态系统变得更加困难。所以保护环境是重中之重。毕竟，我们人类依靠植物来维持我们的健康和生存。)”可知，我们可以通过追求环保生活来防止植物之间的分离。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“While recent science shows that passive plants have their own “language” of interaction and their talk systems may be more complex and sensitive.(然而，最近的科学表明，被动植物有自己的互动“语言”，它们的谈话系统可能更复杂、更敏感。)”，第二段中“Recently, scientists discovered just how well- connected plants are and how efficiently they can send messages to their peers via electrical signals and the fungal (真菌的) network. (最近，科学家们发现植物之间的联系是多么紧密，它们通过电信号和真菌网络向同类发送信息的效率是多么高。)”和第四段中“The recent study also revealed that a great deal of plant- to- plant communication happens below ground, aided by large fungal networks known as the“ wood wide web”, which connect trees and plants underground, allowing them to share resources like water, nutrition and information.(最近的研究还表明，植物与植物之间的大量交流发生在地下，这得益于被称为“wood wide web”的大型真菌网络，它将地下的树木和植物连接起来，使它们能够共享水、营养和信息等资源。)”可知，本文讲述了研究发现：植物也有自己的“语言”，它们通过电信号和真菌网络进行交流。合适的标题是：植物交流：生态系统中隐藏的“语言”，故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When I first started researching how to travel on a tight budget, I found a lot of helpful tips on how to save money.

G 【解析】 【16题详解】 根据上文“I’m sure you’ve heard the same advice: plan in advance, find cheap flights, cook meals yourself instead of eating outside, etc.(我相信你也听过同样的建议:提前计划，找便宜的航班，自己做饭而不是在外面吃饭，等等)”及下文“However, when I was planning my trip, it quickly became clear that the largest expense was accommodations.(然而，当我计划我的旅行时，很快就发现最大的开支是住宿)”可知，前面介绍了好多对旅行计划的建议，后面转折后表示这些建议并没有提到节约住宿开支，可知前面应先肯定这些建议很有用，后面转折在指出不足。由此可知，B. These tips sounds really useful.(这些建议听起来真的很有用)符合语境，故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“However, when I was planning my trip, it quickly became clear that the largest expense was accommodations.(然而，当我计划我的旅行时，很快就发现最大的开支是住宿”及下文“Even hostels can be pricey.(即使是小旅社也很贵)”可知，本段要谈论住宿的花费问题，由此可知，D. Accommodations can be really expensive.(住宿可能会很贵)作为段首句，承上启下。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“After completing my university degree and deciding to go backpacking alone, I was eager to try new things in different cultures. I had studied for some years, but I realized I didn’t want to work in the field I was educated in.(在完成大学学位并决定独自背包旅行后，我渴望尝试不同文化中的新事物。我已经学习了几年，但我意识到我不想在我所受教育的领域工作)”可知，作者不想在自己的专业领域从事工作，想要尝试新鲜事物，由此可知，F. So I decided to get out there and try new things.(所以我决定走出去，尝试新事物)符合语境。故选F项。 19题详解】 根据上文“I happened to find a post about an Italian family looking for a part- time private English teacher, which I felt would help me to feel closer to my Italian background.(我碰巧看到一篇关于一个意大利家庭寻找兼职私人英语老师的帖子，我觉得这能让我感觉更接近我的意大利背景)”及下文“I exchanged a few hours per day and I was provided a private dorm, typical Italian food and a thorough understanding of the surroundings, walking peacefully with my host family.(我每天交换几个小时，我被提供了一个私人宿舍，典型的意大利食物，对周围环境有了透彻的了解，和我的寄宿家庭一起平静地散步)”可知，作者想要体验新事物，发现并接受这个工作机会后，作者对于回报很满意，尤其解决了住宿问题。由此可知，E. I considered this as an amazing opportunity.(我认为这是一个绝佳的机会)符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据是上文“The most important lesson I learned was about communication.(我学到的最重要的一课是沟通)”可知，此处在讲述作者与这对夫妇的沟通，结合下文“They helped me with my English too.(他们也帮助我学习英语)”中的“They”和“too”可知，G. It wasn’t just me helping the couple with their English(不仅仅在于我帮这对夫妇学英语)符合语境，the couple与下文They指代一致。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分). 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve heard that it’s better to give than to receive, while my experience tells me that receiving is highly ____21____ .

Early one morning, at around 1: 30 a. m., the family got a call from the camp. “The voice on the other end was saying that Riley had collapsed, and they were telling me that they were taking her to a hospital and I needed to get there right away,” Ian remembered,“ My heart skipped a beat as the words’ collapsed’ and’ hospital’ were told. I knew I had to act fast.” However, Ian and his family lived in New York City. The hospital where Riley was being transported was in the north part of New York, hours away. Ian struggled to compose himself, but such a shocking message just left him too shaken up to drive, so he booked a taxi on his phone. He: put in an. address that was in. the general direction of where he needed to go. As he waited anxiously for the driver to arrive, Ian’s mind raced with frightening thoughts, each one worse than the last. When the driver finally pulled up, Ian rushed forward, explaining the situation. Ian remembered,“ On seeing the driver arriving, I blurted out in almost broken English,’ My daughter going to the hospital. It gonna be a long drive. And I don’t know how I’ll make it on my own. Would you please, please help me?’ And I still remember how kind this man was. He said, ‘I have three children of my own — get in.’ And then we drove.” It was comforting that the driver could actually understand what Ian was going through and was willing to help, which made Ian feel a moment of calmness. He took a deep breath and tried to figure out what to do next. But this brief sense of peace was soon interrupted by another phone call about Riley. Riley’s situation got worse and she had to be moved to a different hospital, even farther north, without delay. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ian turned to the driver, saying “We’re gonna be going further north.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Waving goodbye to the driver, Ian rushed to find Riley. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Ian turned to the driver, saying “We’re gonna be going further north.” “Don’t worry, I’ll get you there as fast as I can,” he reassured Ian, his voice steady and reassuring. Ian felt a surge of gratitude for this stranger’s willingness to go above and beyond to help. When they finally arrived at the new hospital, Ian thanked the driver profusely, his eyes welling up with tears of appreciation. The driver gave him a pat on the back and wished him and Riley all the best before driving off into the night. Waving goodbye to the driver, Ian rushed to find Riley. Ian rushed inside, his heart pounding with a mixture of hope and fear. He followed the signs to Riley’s room, where he found her surrounded by medical staff. As he approached, he saw her frail body lying still, hooked up to various machines. Ian’s heart ached, but he knew he had to stay strong for his daughter. He took a deep breath and entered the room, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, determined to be there for Riley every step of the way. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了2014年8月，伊恩·桑德勒9岁的女儿莱利·桑德勒参加了一个不睡觉的夏令营。一天清晨，大约凌晨1点半，这家人接到了营地打来的电话。电话那头的声音说莱利昏倒了，于是伊恩叫了车赶往营地，最后在司机的陪伴下她见到了女儿。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“伊恩转向司机说：‘我们要继续往北走。’”可知，第一段可描写伊恩和司机赶路的经过以及伊恩的心理感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“伊恩向司机挥手告别，冲向莱利”可知，第二段可描写伊恩在医院见到女儿以及感悟。 2.续写线索：指明方向——司机赶路——司机安慰——伊恩感激——见到女儿——伊恩感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 使放心：reassure/put sb. at ease 到达：arrive at/reach 走进：enter/get into 情绪类 感激：appreciation/gratitude/thankfulness 恐惧：fear/horror 【点睛】[高分句型1] When they finally arrived at the new hospital, Ian thanked the driver profusely, his eyes welling up with tears of appreciation.

B Nearly every weekend this summer, a rising senior and small business owner, Vic Cohen together with his schoolmates could be found with their stand decorated with a variety of handmade chainmail jewelry (链甲珠宝). Cohen only began making chainmail jewelry in April with no previous experience in jewelry making. Stuck on campus until long past the end of the semester, Cohen found themselves looking for something to keep them occupied, which led to them searching for courses online and on Pinterest after getting initial inspiration from Etsy. “This was the first time I learned how to like an actual craft and like multiple dimensions of it,” Cohen said. “This also lighted my passion for business. This idea originally started out only for my friends. And because I wanted them to get cool jewelry without having to break the bank.” Cohen began selling their jewelry to friends and on Instagram, and eventually at art markets: around town. These markets have also been Cohen’s entry into Rochester’s dynamic art community attracting University of Rochester students, students on other campuses, and young professionals in the city. This has allowed them to learn from each other and improve on their art by learning different skills and employing different tips and tricks in their pieces. Cohen has connected with Rochester Institute of Technology and Middlesex Community College students, learning that the former institution has a jewelry- making major and meeting students within the major. “They’ve praised my work, which is absolutely crazy,” Cohen said. “This has unintentionally been a great way to make friends.” These connections led to them getting the chance to host a beginner chainmail class themselves. “I know I’m capable of teaching other people and it’s really fun to share my love for this because as a STEM major, I get so wrapped up in it, and being able to find a way out is nice.” After graduation, Cohen plans to apply to different graduate schools and continue their small business on the side. “I want this to remain something I love,” Cohen said. 4. What inspired Cohen to start the business? A. His previous experience. B. The thought of getting busy. C. His passion for jewelry making. D. The inspiration from online courses. 5. What can we know about Cohen’s chainmail jewelry? A. It is reasonably priced. B. It was initially sold online. C. It is professionally designed. D. It was first intended for credits. 6. What can people do in Rochester’s art community? A. Attend courses of jewelry making. B. Raise their skills in making jewelry. C. Gain admission to the jewelry major. D. Achieve a goal of gaining treasure. 7. Why did Cohen teach other people to make jewelry? A. To show the love for art. B. To share a way of relief. C To realize his dream of helping others. D. To display his talent in making jewelry. C Social media is welcoming a new self-care practice: bed rotting (床腐). Creators say the trend, which involves lazing in bed for hours to days at a time but not sleeping, can help with mental health. But while it can be energizing to take a rest day every once in a while, experts warn that staying bedridden for too long can be harmful to your physical and mental health. During bed rotting, the “rotter” replaces. productive activities with aimless activities like phone scrolling (滚屏), watching TV shows and so on. This trend is most popular among young people who may feel extremely worn- out from work and other demands. In today’s fast-paced world, enthusiasts say bed rotting is a way to let your body and mind recharge from commitments and responsibilities. And mental health experts agree — to an extent. “Taking a day off or even a weekend from the world and staying in bed can be rejuvenating for some,” says Dr. Andrea Papa- Molter, the chief medical officer at Advantage Behavioral Health in Laurel Springs, New Jersey. “For most people it is a form of self-care and a way of regaining energy after a tiring day of work and is safe for short periods of time.” “While a quick bed-rotting session may provide temporary. comfort for escape for some, staying in bed all day for multiple days may cause negative consequences. Humans need exercise, vitamin D from the sun, as well as socialization to survive. ” Papa-Molter says, “It becomes harmful when someone avoids contact with others, which can cause feelings of being separated, and what’s worse, depression and anxiety.” Dr. David Cutler, a family medicine physician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, says, “People who are feeling so emotionally worn-out that they can’t engage in their usual activities need to see a mental health professional.” Having tiredness after a long day or week is normal, but if it is influencing your work and social life, then it is a good idea to talk to a psychologist who can help you get to the root cause of your bed rotting and learn new coping skills. 8. What can we know concerning bed rotting from Paragraph 1? A. Bed rotters sleep a lot. B. Bed rotting harms health. C. Bed rotters hate screen time. D. Bed rotting inspires creativity. 9. What does the underlined word “rejuvenating” in Paragraph 2 mean? A Harmful. B. Green. C. Refreshing. D. Charming. 10. What can be concluded from Papa-Molter’s words in Paragraph 3? A. A little is enough but more proves better. B. Separation gains no wisdom from others. C. The good and the bad are interchangeable. D. One finds peace alone but trouble in groups. 11. What is the suggestion given by David Cutler? A. Upgrading social skills. B. Turning to psychologists. C. Doing physical, examinations. D. Engaging, in emotional actions. D Verbal communication is one of the many reasons why humans have become so successful as a species. While recent science shows that passive plants have their own “language” of interaction and their talk systems may be more complex and sensitive. Recently, scientists discovered just how well-connected plants are and how efficiently they can send messages to their peers via electrical signals and the fungal (真菌的) network. For example, electrophysiology is a relatively new scientific discipline that studies how electrical signals in and between plants are communicated and interpreted. To achieve this, scientists inserted (植入) small. electrical sensors to monitor and control crop: watering, and to test how changes in electrical signals relate to plant performance such as transporting water and nutrient. Researchers even found that electrical signals could make plants perform basic responses like opening or closing leaves. The recent study also revealed that a great deal of plant-to-plant communication happens below ground, aided by large fungal networks known as the “wood wide web”, which connect trees and plants underground, allowing them to share resources like water, nutrition and information. Through this system, older trees can help younger ones grow, and trees can warn each other about dangers. It’s like an underground Internet for trees and plants, helping them support and communicate with each other. And the network is extensive, with over 80% of plants believed to be connected, making it one of the oldest communication systems globally. Just as the Internet enables us to connect, share ideas, knowledge and information that can influence decision- making, the “wood wide web” allows plants to use fungi as a “language” to prepare for environmental changes. The research also noted that disturbing the soil through chemicals, deforestation or climate change can result in communication-disconnection among plants, leaving them more sensitive, and in turn, making it more difficult to protect and restore ecosystems around the world.
