"We have walked this walk, " said Synethia Bland, Marketing Director. "We have already learned how to manage the challenges that a trauma-impacted mother faces each day. Our goal is to communicate that you're never on this journey alone. " Everyone goes through adversity: This group hopes to communicate to mothers and daughters that they can rise from these trials to reach places of beauty. Bland says that by providing guidance, hope, and love, women can (hold their faith because empathy and compassion are-restored in their lives. Broken women help other hurting women-in- realizing their- dream and potential said Liliana, a certified life coach. Liliana is praised for being a defender of the truth. " The best teachers come from life," she said. Liliana ran through her social media, and she saw others in pair? homeless, abused, facing chronic illness. No one gave an encouraging word. No one paid attention, like illness and poverty were a choice. Liliana was overcome with such heartbreaking stories. When Liliana found her faith, she said her journey became more difficult. Turning away women in need was not something she was willing to do, so she poured all her resources into this organization. "You know that in your secret closet, you still have ashes. Just because the world can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. Some of us just choose not to sit on our hands. By showing women how they cap rise like a phoenix, the ashes don't need to be the end of their stories. It can be the beginning of something new. 24. What is the mission of Beauty From Their Ashes?

True beauty comes from ashes C The streets, sidewalks and roofs of cities al absorb heat during the day/ making some urban areas across the United States up to 6 degrees Fahrenheit hotter-than-rural ones during the day and 22 degrees F hotter at night. These "urban heat islands" can also develop underground as the city heat spreads downward, beneath the surface. And basements, subway tunnels and other underground infrastructure also constantly bleed heat into the surrounding earth, creating hotspots. Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms. According to a new study of downtown Chicago, underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that emit the heat in the first place. Such temperature changes make the ground around them expand and contract enough to cause potential damage. Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago's downtown was deforming, " says the study's author Alessandro F. Rotta Loria, a civil and environmental engineer at Northwestern University. The findings, published in Communications Engineering, expose a “silent hazard(危险)” to civil infrastructure in cities with softer ground — especially those hear water — Rota Loria says. "here might have been structural issues caused by this underground climate change that happened, and we didn't even realize," he adds. While not an immediate or direct danger to human lives, this previously unknown effect highlights the impacts of a lesser-known component of climate change. Similar to climate change above the surface, these underground changes occur over long periods of time. "These effects took decades, a century, to develop, " Rotta Loria says, adding that elevated underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate (逐渐消失) on their own. But other researchers interviewed for this story all say this wasted energy could also be recycled, presenting an opportunity to both cool the subsurface and save on energy costs. Subway tunnels and basements could be updated with technologies to recapture the heat. For example, water pipes could be installed to run through underground hotspots and pick up some of the heat energy. 28. What can we learn about the "urban heat islands"? A. They can destroy the ground around B. They can develop underground structures C. They are impacted by global warming D. They only exist in the United States 29. Why is" silent hazard mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To discuss structural issues. B. To categorize climate change. C. To explain underground heat. D. To emphasize the neglected reality. 30. What will probably be written in the following paragraph? A. The reusing approaches of heat energy. B. The cost of maintaining structures. C. The future of tunnels and basements. D. The evolution of underground environment. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. “Urban Heat Islands” in the Making B. Warming Underground, Weakening Surface C. A Silent Crisis in Downtown Chicago D. A Silver Lining of Global Warming D The psychological term ,valence weighting bias (效价权重偏差), describes people's tendency to adapt in new circumstances by drawing more strongly from either their positive or negative attitudes, or rather, whether negative or positive internal signal scarry the most weight in guiding people's final behavior. Studies led by Russell Fazio and Javier Granados from Ohio State University found links between a negative-leaning attitude and procrastination (拖延) and that it's possible to shift the weighting bias and reverse the tendency to delay a task. In the study, 147 college students participated in a program allowing them to accumulate course credits for engaging in a research. Those who thought it was an awful thing to do procrastinated starting. The study also explored whether students' measures of self-control influenced task-related behaviors: How students characterized their level of motivation about the research program, and if that affected whether students got an early start. Results showed the combination of negative weighting bias and self-reported low motivation for self-control was linked to students putting off research program participation by getting started later in the semester. Then the students in the program who were self-reported procrastinators and who scored high for negative weighting bias were asked to join in another study. Researchers then inspired one group in a way that led participants to weigh positive and negative signals in a more balanced way. This shift caused the students to accumulate credit hours more quickly than the group whose negative weighting bias and low self-control reliably predicted their delay. "If somebody is more motivated and able to think more about that might bring other considerations that weaken the influence of the valence weighting bias, " researchers said. Negative weighting bias can have a positive effect on behavior, though. These researchers nave also found evidence that a negative weighting bias may help people be more realistic when they're asking themselves, Have I studied enough for this rest? It's better to be more objectively balanced than to be at either extreme," Fazio said. "But the situation where a particular valence weighting bias is likely to be problematic is going to vary. " 32. What can we know about valence weighting bias? A. It is used in modern technology. B. It influences people's mental health. D. It directs what people do variously. C. It leads to delays in carrying out tasks. 33. Students in the first study would start participating earlier if they A. suffered from valence weighting bias B. thought poorly of their self-discipline C. drew more strongly from positivity D, considered themselves less motivated 34. What does the experiment in paragraph 4 indicate? A. Negative weighting bias can be reversed. B. High scores lead to more consideration. C. Participants need professional knowledge. D. Measuring properly is of vital importance. 35. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Valence weighting bias applies to different situations. B. People need to strive to be positive at any time. C. Negative weighting bias can be beneficial. D. Positive people tend to make random decisions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Oscar Wilde once said, Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.

She was the one who originally inspired my love for cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around. " Grandma is seriously ill, " the text read. "We need your help in assisting with her care. " Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help out with grandma. After driving across several states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really hard for me to bear. The Meredith I saw then was not the lively, joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up. "Tony! " she called to me from her bed, "It's so good to see you! " "Grandma, " I sighed, "I’m not Tony, That's dad, your son. I'm Hank. " This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house — cooking, cleaning, and, most of all, keeping grandma in good health and good spirits. Every day, I cooked delicious food to keep everyone's spirits high. But, secretly, I hoped that cooking some dishes that we had made together in my childhood would somehow help get grandma's memory of me back, if just for a moment. Stews (炖菜)，chops (排骨)，roasts — I served all of these to grandma and my parents around the clock. When I wasn't taking grandma out for a walk in her wheel chair or changing her bed sheets, I was cooking. I had cooked for celebrities while at the restaurant in New York City, but never had I poured my heart out into my meals than I did then for grandma. However, it didn't work at all. 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。 Then I decided to make something simple. After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name — my actual name. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
