After the plane landed,I immediately read the critique myself,which was harsh and thorough, pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data.The fallout was swift and intense.I received a flood of emails and messages.Some were from supportive colleagues,but many were harshly critical of my work.I was depressed,wondering what this would mean for my career. I wrote a response,correcting the apparent errors in the data set.When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable,I formally offered my resignation to my department head.He didn't accept it,saying a resignation wasn't needed given that the errors in the paper were honest mistakes. The experience helped me grow as a scientist.I know it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes.I can't expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions. The reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process-and one that shouldn't be viewed only through a negative lens.Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve.Honest mistakes happen,and researchers should be encouraged,not punished,for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work. 19.What happened to the author before the plane took off? A.He was filled with a mix of negative emotions. B.His career was influenced by the errors in his paper. C.His published paper was retracted because of some flaws. D.He was informed some errors were found in his published paper. 20.What does the underlined word "fallour in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Consequence. B.Conflict. C.Solution. D.Shame. 21.Why was the author's resignation refused? A.He admitted the mistakes frankly. B.He treated the mistakes seriously. C.He made the mistakes unintentionally. D.He corrected the mistakes carefully, 22.Which words can best describe the author? A.Bold and strict. B.Humble and responsible, C.Timid and critical. D.Ambitious and hardworking. 第3页共9页 C One man's trash is another man's treasure.It is absolutely the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting books that have been thrown away,and ended up opening a library. It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there.At first,Ipek invited other garbage men to gather the books together.As their collection started to grow,so did word of mouth.Soon,local residents started donating books directly. "On the one hand,there were those who were leaving these books on the streets.On the other hand,others were looking for these books,"Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNM."We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books.When everyone supported it, this project happened."The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use.but as the collection grew,so did public interest.In the end,the library was opened to the public in 2017. All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition.If they pass,they go on the shelves.Today,the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction.An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs."Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,"Tasdelen told CNN.The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library. This library is incredibly popular.It is frequently filled with the children of the city's workers and students from nearby schools.There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library.You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room. 23.Why does the author say "One man's trash is another man's treasure"in paragraph 1?

This sudden increase is bad for astronomy:The probability of a Starlink satellite erossing a telescope's field of view and ruining an observation will be quite high near sunset.For that reason,my fellow astronomers have signed a petition calling for governments to protect the night sky from this invasion. In response to protests,Spacex has promised to address the visibility problem by,for example,applying experimental coatings-essentially painting the satellites black-but the company's aggressive launch schedule remains unchanged.And the satellites'illuminated surfaces are mostly their solar panels-exactly the part that cannot be painted over. Unfortunately,at present no regulations govern how bright a single satellite can be,let alone thousands of them together.Even if there are such regulations,one nation's laws cannot hinder (another country's launches.Space literally has no borders,and the sky will need to be protected at an international level.As a consequence,we hope that the United Nations will find a way to think outside of the box to save the sky for everyone. We propose the creation of an international satellite brightness standard,enforced through cooperative agreements among nations.Additionally,funding should be allocated for research into new materials and technologies that can reduce satellite brightness without compromising functionality. 27.What is the writer's attitude toward SpaceX's launch plans? A.Indifferent. B.Objective. C.Optimistic. D.Disapproving. 28.Why have the author's fellow astronomers signed the petition? A.SpaceX plans to send too many Starlink satellites into space. B.The Starlink satellites will possibly ruin an observation near sunset. C.The first orbiters are brighter than most of other satellites circling Earth. D.SpaceX fails to provide high-speed Interet to people around the world. 29.According to the author,who should shoulder the responsibility to save the sky? A.The United States. B.The United Nations. C.The company SpaceX. D.Just one nation. 30.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Preserve the Night Sky B.Ban Starlink Satellites C.Observe the Stars Attentively D,Protest Against SpaceX 第5页共9页 第二节（共5小题：每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的逸琐中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选疏中有两顶为多余选 项 Overthinking refers to the tendency to cxcessively analyze situations,ovents,or decisions, often leading to anxiety and stress.It's important to recognize that overthinking is not a unique or abnormal experience.31 Here are some tips to deal with overthinking: Distract yourself when you re overthinking.

I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject.Paul Revere was a silversmith (in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18,1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming.My story would come straight from the horse's mouth.Not a brilliant idea,but funny;and unlikely to be anyone else's choice. What did the horse think,as he sped through the night?Did he get tired?Have doubts?Did he want to quit?I thought.I had doubts.I wanted to quit.But,like Revere's horse,I kept going.I worked hard.I checked my spelling.I asked my older sister to correct my grammar.I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library.I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher,he read it,laughed out loud,and said,"Great Now, write it again."I wrote it again,and again and again so as to make it better.When I finally finished it,the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing.If I didn't win.I wouldn't care. A few weeks later,when I almost forgot the contest,there came the news.On that seemingly ordinary day,my teacher suddenly informed me that I won the second prize and there would be an award presentation for the writing contest winners.It was really a delightful surprise for me. When the day finally arrived,I found myself standing among a group of talented writers.As each winner was called to the stage,applause and cheers filled the air.Walking up to receive my award, I felt a surge of pride and accomplishment,knowing that my work had been recognized literally. ·注意：1.续写词数应为80词左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph: I went to my teacher's office after the award presentation. 第9页共9页
