When I was a high school student. I was faced with the world with the innocence that only comes with youth. I had always been fascinated by the idea of learning a new language, but I had never truly understood the challenges involved. That was until one day, when I decided to take the risk and learn Spanish.
It all started when I visited my cousin in Spain, Watching her effortlessly communicate with locals in their native language, I was filled with envy. I realized that, despite my ability to speak English and a little French, I was still missing an important tool: a deep understanding of another major language.
So, I did what any determined teenager would do; I set out to learn Spanish. I downloaded language-learning apps, bought textbooks, and even signed up for private classes. Actually, it was not easy. The grammar rules were different, the vocabulary unfamiliar, and the pronunciation challenging.
But I refused to give up. I spent hours listening to Spanish music and watching Spanish language movies. I role-played with my teacher, speaking aloud and making mistakes. Gradually, the language started to feel more natural. Months passed, and my hard work began to pay off. My Spanish improved, and I felt confident enough to try speaking it in real-life situations. The first time I ordered a meal in Spanish in a restaurant, I felt like an explorer conquering a new land.
Now, when I look back on that version of myself, I can’t help but feel proud, It might have taken months of hard work and late-night study sessions, but in the end, the journey was more than worth it. It has given me a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me.

Like millions of other parents, Emily Hobey drops her son at day care before she heads to work every morning. But what makes her mornings different from other parents’ mornings, is that she gets to leave her one- and half-year old in a day care center run by her employer, Whirlpool.
The day care, called the Eddy, is located at the company’s global headquarters in Benton Harbor, Mich. — a five minute drive away from her office at the company’s North America Headquarters building. “Every day there is a safe environment waiting for him with great teachers.” said Hobey. “And we can really depend on that.”
A small but growing number of workplaces are offering on-site day care for their employees, according to data from network The Best Place for Working Parents, which covers over 600 businesses of varying sizes and services.
The organization has tracked how many businesses within its network offer on site child care since right before the pandemic (疫情). In 2020, the Best Place for Working Parents found that 8.5 percent of those companies offered on-site child care. That number grew to 11.9 percent in 2021. fell slightly to 11.4 percent in 2022 and climbed to 13.9 percent this year, a network spokesperson said.
A 2022 survey from McKinsey & Company found that 45 percent of mothers with children aged 5 or younger who left the workforce during the COVID-19 cited child care as a major reason for their departure. And 24 percent of mothers with children 5 years old or younger said they considered reducing their work hours or switching to part time work because of child care. Only 14 percent of fathers said the same.
Like Whirlpool, many workplaces offer on-site day care to help make their companies more attractive to employees. Research also shows that when companies offer on site child care, workers are happier at their job and are less likely to leave. This has been the case at clothing company Patagonia, which has offered on-site child care since 1983. Hilary Dessouky, general counsel at Patagonia, said that the on-site child care has resulted in almost 100 percent of mother’s returning to work after maternity leave (产假).

There are more than 57 million amputees (截肢者) worldwide and only about 5 percent of them have access to prosthetic (假肢) care and technology. Those who do have access to prosthetics are often burdened with an inconvenient fitting and training process, high price tags of up to $80,000. and long wait times of more than a year.
Despite the cumbersome (繁琐的) user experience present in the current prosthetics industry, there has been little structural change in the market for more than 50 years, expert say. The global prosthetics industry was valued at $6.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $ 8.6 billion by 2028.
But a small prosthetics company called Unlimited Tomorrow in Rhinebeck, N.Y., is shaking up the situation.
Unlimited Tomorrow was founded in 2014 by robotics genius Easton LaChappelle. When LaChappelle was 14 years old, he created a control glove operated bionic (仿生) hand and entered it into the Colorado State Science Fair. LaChappelle’s project caught the eye of a 7-year-old amputee who was wearing a bionic prosthetic. LaChappelle learned that her prosthetic, which wasn’t much more difficult than the science project he created in his bedroom, cost $80,000. He spent the next few years researching how he could improve the current state of the prosthetics industry. When LaChappelle was 18, with the help of Tony Robbins, author and philanthropist (慈善家), who was interested in investing in LaChappelle’s idea, Unlimited Tomorrow was established.
Unlimited Tomorrow’s star product is called TrueLimb, a super cool 3D printed robotic arm! “Basically, it’s like a robot hand.” says LaChappelle. What’s awesome is that TrueLimb isn’t one-size fits all—each one is made special for each person.
Unlimited Tomorrow sends a special 3D scanner to their customers. People can use it at home to scan their arm. Once they get that scan, the smart engineers at Unlimited Tomorrow make a perfect socket filled with special sensors for the individual amputee. Then, they use a 3D printer to make the personalized TrueLimb. Hundreds of people are already using these amazing TrueLimbs every day!
12. Which is the disadvantage of traditional prosthetics?

C. Lack of convenience. D. Limited color options
13. What does the underlined phrase “shaking up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Significantly changing. B. Narrowly losing.
C. Unexpectedly controlling. D. Confidently improving.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. When Unlimited Tomorrow was set up.
B. Who lent a helping hand to LaChappelle.

D. What inspired LaChappelle to found Unlimited Tomorrow.
15. What is the best title for the text?

There are more than 57 million amputees (截肢者) worldwide and only about 5 percent of them have access to prosthetic (假肢) care and technology. Those who do have access to prosthetics are often burdened with an inconvenient fitting and training process, high price tags of up to $80,000. and long wait times of more than a year.
Despite the cumbersome (繁琐的) user experience present in the current prosthetics industry, there has been little structural change in the market for more than 50 years, expert say. The global prosthetics industry was valued at $6.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $ 8.6 billion by 2028.
But a small prosthetics company called Unlimited Tomorrow in Rhinebeck, N.Y., is shaking up the situation.
Unlimited Tomorrow was founded in 2014 by robotics genius Easton LaChappelle. When LaChappelle was 14 years old, he created a control glove operated bionic (仿生) hand and entered it into the Colorado State Science Fair. LaChappelle’s project caught the eye of a 7-year-old amputee who was wearing a bionic prosthetic. LaChappelle learned that her prosthetic, which wasn’t much more difficult than the science project he created in his bedroom, cost $80,000. He spent the next few years researching how he could improve the current state of the prosthetics industry. When LaChappelle was 18, with the help of Tony Robbins, author and philanthropist (慈善家), who was interested in investing in LaChappelle’s idea, Unlimited Tomorrow was established.
Unlimited Tomorrow’s star product is called TrueLimb, a super cool 3D printed robotic arm! “Basically, it’s like a robot hand.” says LaChappelle. What’s awesome is that TrueLimb isn’t one-size fits all—each one is made special for each person.
Unlimited Tomorrow sends a special 3D scanner to their customers. People can use it at home to scan their arm. Once they get that scan, the smart engineers at Unlimited Tomorrow make a perfect socket filled with special sensors for the individual amputee. Then, they use a 3D printer to make the personalized TrueLimb. Hundreds of people are already using these amazing TrueLimbs every day!

C. Lack of convenience. D. Limited color options
13. What does the underlined phrase “shaking up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章讲述了18岁的LaChappelle成立了“无限明天”的公司,改变了传统的假肢行业的过程。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Those who do have access to prosthetics are often burdened with an inconvenient fitting and training process, high price tags of up to $80,000. and long wait times of more than a year.”(那些能够获得假肢人往往要承受不方便的安装和训练过程,以及高达8万美元的高昂价格,还有一年多的漫长等待时间。)可知,传统假肢的缺点在于,需要安装假肢的人承受不方便的安装和训练过程,因此缺乏便利性。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“Despite the cumbersome (繁琐的) user experience present in the current prosthetics industry, there has been little structural change in the market for more than 50 years, expert say.”(专家表示,尽管目前假肢行业的用户体验很繁琐,但50多年来市场几乎没有发生结构性变化。)可知,假肢行业在50多年来几乎没什么变化;结合第三段“But a small prosthetics company called Unlimited Tomorrow in Rhinebeck, N.Y., is shaking up the situation.”(但是,纽约州莱茵贝克一家名为“无限明天”的小型假肢公司正在shaking up这种局面。)中的转折词“But”和最后一段“Hundreds of people are already using these amazing TrueLimbs every day!”(每天都有数百人在使用这些神奇的TrueLimbs !)可知,“无限明天”公司所生产的产品Truelimbs最终获得了大量的使用,可见这家公司明显改变了假肢行业50年不变的现状,故划线词“shaking up”表示“明显地改变”。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“When LaChappelle was 14 years old, he created... LaChappelle learned that her prosthetic, which wasn’t much more difficult than the science project he created in his bedroom, cost $80,000. He spent the next few years researching how he could improve the current state of the prosthetics industry.”(当LaChappelle14岁时,他创造了……LaChappelle了解到,她的假肢并不比他在卧室里制作的科学项目困难多少,但却花费了8万美元。在接下来的几年里,他一直在研究如何改善假肢行业的现状。)可知,第四段主要讲述了LaChappelle14岁时的一段经历,让他意识到传统的假肢制造技术并不复杂,却花费巨大,这激励他开始研究如何改善假肢行业现状,最终成立了“无限明天”公司,故该段主要讲述了是什么激励LaChappelle成立了“无限明天”公司。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“But a small prosthetics company called Unlimited Tomorrow in Rhinebeck, N.Y., is shaking up the situation.”(但是,纽约州Rhinebeck一家名为“无限明天”的小型假肢公司正在改变这种局面。)和第四段“When LaChappelle was 18, with the help of Tony Robbins, author and philanthropist (慈善家), who was interested in investing in LaChappelle’s idea, Unlimited Tomorrow was established.”(LaChappelle18岁时,在对投资LaChappelle的想法感兴趣的作家兼慈善家Tony Robbins的帮助下,“无限明天”成立了。)及文章内容可知,本文主要描述了一个18岁的年轻人创办的“无限明天”公司,正在改变着假肢行业。故选D。

【17题详解】
上文“Be open-minded to new activities even if they don't seem attractive at first. (对新的活动保持开放的心态,即使它们一开始看起来并不吸引人)”可知,即使自己一开始不喜欢的事情,也要尝试去做。G选项“如果一个朋友想去看艺术电影,即使不是你最喜欢的,也要一起去”正是对上文的举例说明,并且紧扣本段主题“尝试新的活动。”故选G。

(简单的善举和帮助他人可以创造奇迹,让你有不同的个人经历。志愿服务可以帮助你全面发展。考虑在医院做志愿者。这不仅能让你有更积极的感觉,还能引发有助于你学习的讨论。甚至帮助朋友和家人也能奏效)”可知本段主要讲述做志愿者,所以A选项“做志愿者或帮助别人。”符合本段题意,可以作为主旨句。故选A。
