Instead of rushing to lunch. the children closed their eyes and moved their thumbs(拇指) from their foreheads to their hearts, guided by their teacher, Kim Franklin. "Listen to the clock," she instructed. "Remember to breathe." Across the United States, schools like Smith Elementary have been introducing mental health classes that include yoga, meditation(冥想), and mindfulness exercises alongside traditional school subjects. This change comes in response to the increasing mental health struggles faced by 英语试题 第3页(共8页) 表 扫描全能王创建 American students. In 2023, the U. S. CDC(美国疾控中心) reported that over one-third of students experienced more feelings of sadness and hopelessness. The CDC recommended mindfulness practices as a tool to help students manage stress and emotions Research indicates that school-based mindfulness programs are particularly beneficial in low- income communities, where a large number of students face a high level of stress. More than two- thirds of Smith Elementary's students come from poor families. The CDC data shows that these teenagers have the fastest-growing rate of stress-related problems. Nationwide, they have limited access to mental health professionals, even in schools The Inner Explorer program, carried out in over 100 school systems across the U. S., guides students and teachers through five- to ten-minute periods of breathing, meditation, and reflection several times a day. Teachers and administrators have observed positive changes in their students since mixing mindfulness into their studies. Malachi Smith, a student of 9. has been practicing the exercises at home under his father's guidance. "You can relax.. and when I calm myself down, I realize I am an excellent learner,' Malachi shared. Similarly, Aniyah Woods, also 9, a student in Kim Franklin's class, said the program has helped her"calm down" and "reduce her stress". She added,"It brought me a sense of peace." 24.

What has caused some American schools to set mental health classes? A. The CDC's requirements. B. The pressure from school leaders. C. The growing mental challenges faced by students D. The increasing concern about students' performance in study. 26. Which of the following statements may the author agree with? A. Teenagers from rich families seldom meet with mental stress. B. Mindfulness programs should have been carried out earlier. C. There has already been obvious improvement in students' mental health D. The poorer a student's family is, the more stress he suffers from. 27. What's Aniyah's attitude towards the school-based mindfulness program? A.Woried. C. Unclear. B. Doubtful. D. Supportive. C Microplastics, or tiny particles(微粒) of plastic that can be as small as one-thousandth of a millimeter, are found everywhere: in the ocean, in the air, and even in our food. Scientists have even discovered them in human body tissues like the heart, liver, and kidneys. While there's no clear evidence(证据) yet that microplastics harm human health, researchers are concerned abou their possible effects. Plastic is made from oil or other petroleum products and is used to create a wide range of things, from water bottles and car parts to children's toys and clothing. Over time, heat, weather, and wen animal digestion break down plastic into smaller pieces, creating microplastics. Researchers are still trying to understand how much plastic we might be taking in or consuming through our food and drinks. Many studies have found traces(痕迹) of plastics in the human body. Traeey Woodruff. a researcher at the University of California. San Francisco, noted that microplastics have been discovered in almost all body tissues studied .ln 2022, a World Health Organization report stated that there was no clear risk to human health from microplastics. based on the evidence available. However, since research on this topic is relatively new, the full impact of microplastics on human health remains vague. Some studies 英语试题 第4页(共8页) 表进 扫描全能王 创建 suggest that plastics can cause inflammation and other bodily changes, likely increasing the risk of heart attacks. To reduce exposure(接触) to microplastics, researchers suggest several steps. Remove your shoes before entering your home to prevent spreading microplastics indoors, Choose home-prepared foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid heating foods in plastic containers and choose metal or glass water bottles instead of plastic ones. These simple actions can help reduce your contact with these tiny, and harmful particles. 28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The rapid spread of microplastics. B.

Thinking twice before consuming processed foods. D. Replacing plastic containers with metal ones. 31. What's a suitable title for the text? A. Are microplastics harmful? B. Should microplastics be removed from our life? C. Joint effort is needed to deal with microplastics D. Microplastics are becoming a tough problem. D Tree rings, which serve as a record of the tree's growth, play an important part in researching the climate and environment for scientists. A study in the scientific publication Nature uses a well- established method and record of more than 10, ooo tree rings to figure out summertime temperatures for each year since year 1. No year came even close to last summer's high heat, said the study's lead writer, Jan Esper of the Gutenberg Research College in Germany. Esper's paper showed that in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer of 2O23 was as much as 1. 2 degrees Celsius warmer than the summer of year 246, which was believed to have gone through the hottest summer before modern times. In fact, 25 of the last 28 years have been hotter than that summer, said study co-writer Max Torbenson. The team used thousands of trees in 15 different places in the Northern Hemisphere, where there was enough data to get a good measure going back to year 1. There was not quite enough tree data in the Southern Hemisphere to publish, but even the limited data showed similar results. Scientists looked at the rings of yearly tree growth to then give yearly dates to every ring. But outside experts had questions about the study. Climate scientist Michael Mann wondered why researchers stopped their look back at year 1. Mann suggested other temperature estimates(估 算)go back more than 20,ooo years. He said just using tree rings is "considerably less reliable (可靠的)" than looking at all sorts of other data, including ice cores, corals and more. However, Esper said his new study only uses tree data because it is exact enough to provide summer-by-summer temperature estimates, which cannot be done with corals, ice cores and other data sources. "Tree rings are of higher resolution(清晰度),"he said. The worldwide temperature records set last summer were so high"thatit's not surprising they would.. clearly be the warmest in the past 2, Ooo years," said another climate scientist Zeke though we cannot be absolutely sure," he added, because data exact to a year does not go back that far. 英语试题 第5页(共8页) 表进 扫描全能王 创建 32. What is the focus of the study in Nature? A. Comparing the temperalures of different seasons. B. Examining tree rings to determine summer temperatures. C. Researching tree growth in the Southern Hemisphere D. Estimating future temperature tendencies 33. Why is year 246 mentioned in the text? A. It marked the start of tree data. B. It was the year when people started to record temperatures C. It is thought of as the beginning of significant climate change D. It represented the highest level in a certain range. 34. Why did Michael Mann question the study? A. Its data source was limited B. Its conclusion didn't match the fact C. It ignored the impact of human activity. D. It didn't involve enough climate experts. 35. What did Zeke Hausfather think of the findings of the study? A. Groundless. B. Unsatisfying. C. Understandable D. Innovative. 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人空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You may have heard and are familiar with the saying that travel broadens the mind. but does it really hold true? 36 .
