B
After my birth, my mother hid my existence for two years by placing me in a children’s home. Eventually, when she introduced me to her strict family, she claimed that I was an adopted child. I imagine that she tried to save face and avoid judgment as well as rejection. Being left in a place without a mother during those formative years of my life came at a great personal cost. It is understandable that I felt annoyed when my therapist (治疗师) helped me understand the psychological implications of my mother’s actions.
During 20-some years of therapy, I labored to unearth, express, and work through such a difficult beginning. I saw a number of wonderful and kind therapists. Gradually, as I have healed from my childhood wounds, I have been lucky enough to enjoy marriage and the family that I haven’t experienced.
What finally moved the needle and allowed for a new relationship with her to be improved was finding a calm place inside myself. I discovered a sense of inner security that had always been there, and that could be found when I gave the relationship time and space. Gradually and naturally the capacity for understanding and compassion for my mother emerged. I was slowly able to let go of burdensome anger. Resting in the spacious room to focus on myself gave me a sense of fullness and ease allowing healing to occur, as if I had been wounded and placed into a hyperbaric (高压的) oxygen room to heal my injuries.
Fifteen years ago, my mother passed away in our garden cottage. At that time, my three children were present to say goodbye, and I was able to be by her side during her final moments. Reflecting on this, I am thankful that our relationship improved over the years. Additionally, I am grateful that our trans-generational experience has had a beneficial impact on her grandchildren and their perspective on life.
4 What was affected by the author’s childhood wounds?
A. The ability to relieve loneliness. B. The courage to express rejection.
C. The development of her character. D. The relationship with her husband.
5. How did the author find a calm place inside herself?
A. By ignoring anger and upset intentionally. B. By receiving hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
C. By trying to be compassionate about her mom. D. By relaxing herself to gain a self-awareness.
6. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experiences?
A. Dull yet unforgettable. B. Effortless yet fulfilling.
C. Challenging yet common. D. Unlucky yet instructive.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text??
A. The Healing Power of Therapy B. A Journey from Anger to Compassion
C. The Importance of Family Acceptance D. A new perspective on life
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从童年创伤中治愈并与母亲和解的历程。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Being left in a place without a mother during those formative years of my life came at a great personal cost. (在我人生的那些关键成长岁月里,被留在没有母亲的地方,让我付出了巨大的个人代价。)”可知,作者童年的创伤影响了她性格的发展。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“What finally moved the needle and allowed for a new relationship with her to be improved was finding a calm place inside myself. I discovered a sense of inner security that had always been there, and that could be found when I gave the relationship time and space. Gradually and naturally the capacity for understanding and compassion for my mother emerged. I was slowly able to let go of burdensome anger. (最终,让我能够与她改善关系的关键,是我在内心深处找到了一片宁静之地。我发现了一种一直存在于内心的安全感,当我给这段关系足够的时间和空间时,这种安全感就会浮现。渐渐地、自然而然地,我对母亲的理解和同情之心油然而生。我慢慢地放下了沉重的愤怒。)”可知,作者通过放松自己,获得自我意识,找到了内心的平静。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“After my birth, my mother hid my existence for two years by placing me in a children’s home. (我出生后,母亲把我安置在一家儿童福利院,隐瞒了我的存在长达两年。)”、第三段中“What finally moved the needle and allowed for a new relationship with her to be improved was finding a calm place inside myself. I discovered a sense of inner security that had always been there, and that could be found when I gave the relationship time and space. Gradually and naturally the capacity for understanding and compassion for my mother emerged. I was slowly able to let go of burdensome anger.

C
“Girls are weak, and boys are strong. This is what is being subconsciously communicated to hundreds of millions of young boys and girls all over the world, just like it was with me,” said American actor Justin Baldoni. As a boy, all he wanted was to live up to the social standard and get recognition, which meant he had to pretend to be strong when he was weak, confident when he felt insecure, and tough when he was actually hurting.
Is that a healthy lifestyle? A member of the United States Congress might say “yes”. In his proposal, he spoke of a need to “prevent the feminization (女性化) of male youths”. In response to his call, the US Department of Education has recently demanded that schools should hire more physical education teachers to cultivate masculinity in students. The response has been widely debated online, with many people saying that it strengthens gender stereotypes (刻板印象). A post on the Facebook said, “Education is not simply about cultivating men and women. It’s more important to develop a willingness to take responsibility.”
You might be wondering now: What is masculinity, and why is this so controversial? Well, by itself, “masculinity”, which is often associated with strength, courage, confidence, and emotional control, refers to the qualities traditionally considered to be typical of men. Sometimes, however, these seemingly admirable qualities can be extended in unrealistic ways. Blindly asking boys to control their feelings “like a man” can only increase their stress when they grow up.
Attaching more importance to physical education would definitely benefit students, providing physical fitness and lifelong skills. However, putting the emphasis on masculinity is far from a sound reason for which to do so. It is unnecessary for all boys to build up their muscles, but it is essential that they all learn how to be strong inside. It is also fine for boys to cry and to show their weakness. Schools should work on equipping students with the skills and values they will need to be successful in life, not strengthening stereotypes of masculinity borrowed from a bygone age.
8. Why did young Justin Baldoni have to pretend to be what he was actually not?
A. It was a necessity for him to be a good actor. B. He wanted to be accepted as a true man.
C. He wanted to cultivate a good personality. D. He was trying to be strong and confident.
9. Why should schools hire more physical education teachers according to the US Department of Education?
A. To respond to the call of the society. B. To improve teaching methods in schools.
C. To develop manly qualities in students. D. To build up students’ steady strength.
10. What is the public’s opinion of the official demand?
A. It ignores the real core of education. B. It promotes the development of physical education.
C. It prevents the feminization of male youths. D. It strengthens the understanding of male images.
11. What does the author want to say in the article?
A. We should do our part to guarantee students’ physical health.
B. It is time to strengthen tough qualities of male youths.
C. Schools should distinguish between boys and girls while educating them.
D. Preparing students with competitiveness in life outweighs masculinity.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了社会对男性气质的刻板印象及教育应重视培养学生的生活技能与价值观。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As a boy, all he wanted was to live up to the social standard and get recognition, which meant he had to pretend to be strong when he was weak, confident when he felt insecure, and tough when he was actually hurting.(作为一个男孩,他想要的只是达到社会标准并获得认可,这意味着当他软弱时,他必须假装坚强;当他感到不安全时,他必须假装自信;当他实际上受到伤害时,他必须假装坚强)”可知,Justin Baldoni作为一个男孩,他想要达到社会标准并获得认可,也就是想要被认可为一个真正的男人,所以才不得不假装。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In response to his call, the US Department of Education has recently demanded that schools should hire more physical education teachers to cultivate masculinity in students.(为了响应他的号召,美国教育部最近要求学校应该雇佣更多的体育教师来培养学生的男子气概)”可知,根据美国教育部的要求,学校应该雇佣更多的体育教师来培养学生的男子气概。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The response has been widely debated online, with many people saying that it strengthens gender stereotypes (刻板印象). A post on the Facebook said, “Education is not simply about cultivating men and women. It’s more important to develop a willingness to take responsibility.”(这一回应在网上引发了广泛的讨论,许多人表示这强化了性别刻板印象。脸书上的一则帖子写道:“教育不只是培养男性和女性。更重要的是培养(学生)勇于承担责任的意愿。”)”可知,公众认为这种官方要求强化了性别刻板印象,教育不只是培养男性和女性,更重要的是培养责任感,说明这种要求忽视了教育的真正核心。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Schools should work on equipping students with the skills and values they will need to be successful in life, not strengthening stereotypes of masculinity borrowed from a bygone age.(学校应该致力于让学生具备在生活中取得成功所需的技能和价值观,而不是强化从过去时代沿袭下来的有关男子气概的刻板印象)”可知,作者认为学校应该致力于让学生具备在生活中取得成功所需的技能和价值观,而不是强化过去时代遗留下来的男性气质刻板印象,即让学生具备生活竞争力比培养男性气质更重要。故选D。
D
An international team of experts announced threats from climate change and habitat loss have outpaced our ability to protect species in their natural habitats, making urgent action necessary. A biorepository (生物仓库) of preserved cells, and the crucial DNA within them, could be used to enhance genetic diversity in small populations of critically endangered species, or to clone and create new individuals in the worst case of extinction.
A repository to safeguard biological samples from disaster is not a new idea. The Svalbard global seed bank on a remote Norwegian island in the Arctic Circle provides frozen storage of seeds to ensure important food crops can be re-established if wiped out by disease or drought. Recent flooding as a result of warm temperatures, however, has proven that not even Svalbard is safe from the effects of worsening climate. The destruction of Ukraine’s seed bank in the war with Russia also poses a threat to biorepositories on Earth.
The proposed lunar biorepository would be a good choice. The moon’s freezing environment means it can provide favorable conditions to preserve the samples year-round without the need for human involvement or an energy source.
“In order for cloning to be an option, one needs cells that are alive,” said Hagedorn, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology involved in the lunar biorepository. “This means it is not possible to clone an animal from only DNA parts, but deextinction is possible if tissue samples are collected and stored in a way that ensures the cells stay alive.”
Given the costs and challenges involved, critics may suggest efforts should focus on preserving species before they come extinct. However, Hagedorn made his point. “When we think linearly, and not in parallel, we get in trouble. If you say: I’m going to do it this way, and it doesn’t work, what’s plan B? We know how to do it and can do it and will do it, although it may take decades to finally achieve.”
With so much of the proposal still in the area of science fiction, the scientists say they hope their paper will generate excitement, new ideas and new international partners — and perhaps a little controversy — about the extreme actions necessary to protect biodiversity.
12. What disqualifies the existing repository for conservation of biological samples?
A. Lack of human involvement. B. Large consumption of energy source.
C. The climate breakdown. D. The inconvenient position.
13. What does the underlined word “deextinction” in Para 4 refer to?
A. Rebirth of species. B. Expansion of ecology.
C. Creation of DNA samples. D. Protection of endangered animals.
14. What do Hagedorn’s words in Para 5 mainly indicate?
A. The lunar biorepository prioritizes the existing one on earth.
B. A backup strategy is necessary to ensure the conservation of species.
C. Preserving species before they come extinct is time-consuming.
D. Controversial opinions may cause trouble with preserving species.
15. What’s the purpose of the proposal made by the scientists?
A. To sparkle further exploration in how to protect biodiversity.
B. To cope with Earth-based disasters faced by the species.
C. To build a biorepository of preserved fossils of endangered species.
D. To develop a technique to enhance genetic diversity.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了月球生物仓库或成保护生物多样性的新选择。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Recent flooding as a result of warm temperatures, however, has proven that not even Svalbard is safe from the effects of worsening climate. The destruction of Ukraine’s seed bank in the war with Russia also poses a threat to biorepositories on Earth.(然而,由于气温升高导致的近期洪水已经证明,即使是斯瓦尔巴群岛也无法免受气候恶化的影响。乌克兰在与俄罗斯的战争中种子库的破坏也对地球上的生物仓库构成了威胁)”可知,现有的生物样本储存库因气候恶化等因素受到威胁,即气候崩溃使得现有的生物样本储存库失去了保护生物样本的资格。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的““In order for cloning to be an option, one needs cells that are alive,” said Hagedorn, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology involved in the lunar biorepository. (参与月球生物仓库项目的生态学和进化生物学教授哈格多恩表示:“要想让克隆成为一种可行的选择,就需要有存活的细胞。”)”,划线所在的句子“This means it is not possible to clone an animal from only DNA parts(这意味着仅从DNA片段克隆出一只动物是不可能的)”以及“if tissue samples are collected and stored in a way that ensures the cells stay alive(如果组织样本是以一种能确保细胞存活的方式来收集和储存的话)可知,如果组织样本被收集并以确保细胞存活的方式储存,那么物种的“重生”是可能的。deextinction指的是物种的重生。故选 A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“However, Hagedorn made his point. “When we think linearly, and not in parallel, we get in trouble. If you say: I’m going to do it this way, and it doesn’t work, what’s plan B? We know how to do it and can do it and will do it, although it may take decades to finally achieve.”(然而,哈格多恩表明了他的观点。“当我们线性思考,而不是并行思考时,我们就会陷入困境。如果你说:我要这样做,但它不起作用,那B计划是什么呢?我们知道如何做,也能做到,并且会去做,尽管最终实现可能需要几十年的时间。”)”可推知,哈格多恩认为不能只采用一种方法,要有备用策略(B 计划),以确保物种的保护,因为一种方法可能会失败。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“With so much of the proposal still in the area of science fiction, the scientists say they hope their paper will generate excitement, new ideas and new international partners— and perhaps a little controversy— about the extreme actions necessary to protect biodiversity.(由于该提议的很多内容仍处于科幻领域,科学家们表示,他们希望他们的论文能引发人们对保护生物多样性所需的极端行动的兴奋、新想法和新的国际合作伙伴——也许还会引发一点争议)”可推知,科学家们提出这个提议的目的是激发人们对如何保护生物多样性的进一步探索,产生新的想法和吸引新的合作伙伴。故选A。

Each year, the biannual (一年两次的) daylight saving time adjustments, a practice that has been in place for quite some time, significantly influence people’s daily lives. As spring rolls around, the clock is advanced by an hour, and come autumn, it is turned back to its original setting. ____16____
During these transitions, individuals frequently struggle with a range of issues. Sleepiness becomes a common companion, as the body struggles to adapt to the altered time schedule. ____17____ Moreover, an increase in accidents, both on the roads and in workplaces, has been observed.
Biologically, the human body operates on an internal clock known as the circadian rhythm, which is regulated by the light-dark cycle. In the morning, the first rays of sunlight act as a natural alarm, causing the body to produce cortisol (皮质醇) . ____18____ This hormone is a key player in regulating sleep, making us fall into a state of rest.
However, daylight saving time throws this finely-tuned natural rhythm into disorder. ____19____ A growing body of research has clarified some concerning trends. It has been shown that this time change can lead to sleep problems, such as insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns. There is also an increased risk of strokes and heart diseases, as the body’s stress response may be affected.
____20____ They believe that standard time is more in tune with the body’s natural rhythm, providing a more stable and healthier environment for our bodies to function.
A. In contrast, as night falls, the body responds by producing melatonin.
B. The sudden shift in the light-dark cycle makes it difficult for the internal clock to adjust.
C. Meanwhile, feelings of depression may surface, affecting mental well-being.
D. More and more people are gradually adopting daylight saving time.
E. This seemingly simple time change, however, brings about a host of consequences.
F. Given these findings, many scientists advocate a standard time throughout the year.
G. Therefore, a new schedule is desperately needed.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了夏令时调整对人们日常生活的影响及其引发的生物节律紊乱问题。
【16题详解】
上文“Each year, the biannual (一年两次的) daylight saving time adjustments, a practice that has been in place for quite some time, significantly influence people’s daily lives. As spring rolls around, the clock is advanced by an hour, and come autumn, it is turned back to its original setting.(每年,一年两次的夏令时调整这一已实行了相当一段时间的做法,会显著影响人们的日常生活。当春天来临的时候,时钟向前拨快一小时,而到了秋天,时钟又调回到原来的设置)”介绍了一年两次的夏令时调整这一情况。空处应该是对这种调整带来影响的进一步说明。E选项“然而,这种看似简单的时间变化会带来许多后”起到了承上启下的作用,引出下文对后果的阐述。故选E。
【17题详解】
上文“During these transitions, individuals frequently struggle with a range of issues. Sleepiness becomes a common companion, as the body struggles to adapt to the altered time schedule.(在这些时间转换期间,人们常常会面临一系列的问题。由于身体努力适应改变后的时间安排,困倦感成了常见的状态)”提到在夏令时调整期间人们会遇到一系列问题,比如困倦。空处应该继续列举其他问题。C选项“与此同时,抑郁情绪可能会浮现,影响心理健康。”符合语境。Meanwhile表明和上文是并列关系,且“feelings of depression”属于其他问题。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“Biologically, the human body operates on an internal clock known as the circadian rhythm, which is regulated by the light-dark cycle. In the morning, the first rays of sunlight act as a natural alarm, causing the body to produce cortisol (皮质醇) .(从生物学角度来看,人体依据一种被称为昼夜节律的内部时钟运行,这种节律受光照—黑暗周期的调节。早晨,第一缕阳光就像自然的闹钟,促使身体分泌皮质醇)”介绍了人体生物钟受光暗周期调节,早上阳光会让身体产生皮质醇。空处应该是介绍夜晚时身体的反应。A选项“相比之下,当夜幕降临,身体会通过产生褪黑素做出反应”符合语境,“In contrast”体现了与上文早上情况的对比,且介绍了夜晚身体产生褪黑素的情况。故选A。
【19题详解】
上文“However, daylight saving time throws this finely-tuned natural rhythm into disorder.(然而,夏令时却打乱了这种经过精心调节的自然节奏)”指出夏令时打乱了这种调好的自然节奏。空处应该进一步说明夏令时对生物钟的影响。B选项“光暗周期的突然变化使得生物钟难以调整”符合语境,解释了夏令时是如何打乱节奏的,即光暗周期的突然变化让生物钟难以适应。故选B。
【20题详解】
下文“They believe that standard time is more in tune with the body’s natural rhythm, providing a more stable and healthier environment for our bodies to function.(他们认为,标准时间更符合人体的自然节律,为我们身体的正常运转提供了一个更稳定、更健康的环境)”提到一些人认为标准时间更符合身体自然节奏。空处应该是引出这些人的观点。F选项“鉴于这些发现,许多科学家主张全年采用标准时间”符合语境,“Given these findings”承接上文夏令时带来的问题,“many scientists advocate a standard time”引出下文科学家们的观点。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是2025年1月29日上映的动画电影《哪吒2》的相关内容。
36题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:动画电影《哪吒2》于2025年1月29日上映,已经成为中国电影的一个文化标志。which指代的先行词The animated film Ne Zha 2在从句中作主语,与动词release之间是被动关系,由on January 29, 2025可知,从句谓语用一般过去时的被动语态,which指代先行词The animated film Ne Zha 2表单数,因此空格处是was released,故填was released。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:曾经以叛逆著称的哪吒学会了珍惜友谊和自我接纳。句中谓语是learns,空格处用非谓语动词,Ne Zha和know之间是逻辑被动关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填known。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在一场震撼人心的场景中,敖丙宣告:“若前方无路,我便踏出一条路!”——这句话象征着面对不幸时的勇气。line“台词”是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,line是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:从视觉上看,这部电影是一场视觉盛宴。空格处用副词visually作状语,修饰整句话,visually意为“从视觉上看”,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填Visually。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:它将中国传统美学与现代科技相结合,呈现出丰富多彩的风景和令人印象深刻的人物。colorful landscapes和impressive characters之间是并列关系,句子是肯定句,因此用and表并列,故填and。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它以令人惊叹的场景开场:熔岩河和巨大的海怪从暴风雨的海浪中跳跃。句中谓语是opens,空格处用非谓语动词,monsters和jump之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,作后置定语,故填jumping。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最令人难忘的部分是最后的战斗,角色们使用了神奇的武器,比如天元鼎,一种强大而神奇的武器。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,先行词battle在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导,故填where。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:最令人难忘的部分是最后的战斗,角色们使用了神奇的武器,比如天元鼎,一种强大而神奇的武器。根据语境可知,句子表示“最令人难忘的部分是最后的战斗,角色们使用了神奇的武器,比如天元鼎,一种强大而神奇的武器”,空格处意为“像”,用like,故填like。
44题详解】
考查名词。句意:除了娱乐之外,这部电影还探索了普世价值观:勇敢、正义和忠诚。空格处用名词作Beyond宾语,空格处意为“娱乐”,名词是entertainment,是不可数名词,故填entertainment。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自上映以来,这部电影因其将文化遗产与现代叙事的创造性结合而受到评论家和观众的高度赞扬。由since可知,句子时态是现在完成时,主语The film是单数,因此空格处是has received。故填has received。

Our swim team always relied on the Snack Bar to raise money for meets and equipment, but Coach Abby had bad news: it would be closed for repairs through August, meaning no money for upcoming events. Everyone was worried. “Does this mean our swim team is canceled?” Noah asked. Coach Abby comforted us, saying we’d still practice, but she wasn’t sure how the meets would be funded.
The next morning, practice felt strange. None of us were swimming our best, and even Coach Abby was worried. During a break, Noah suggested, “If we can’t run the Snack Bar, maybe we can think of other ways to raise money. ”
“Good idea. ” said Ruby. She suggested a karaoke sing-along (卡拉 OK) like what her brother did to raise funds for his school singing club. Tamara recommended a bake sale. “A. fall festival would be fun!” I added, thinking we could have water-themed games on grounds by the swimming pool.
At first, Coach Abby hesitated. But when she saw how excited we were, she agreed, “OK! Let’ s go for it!” We quickly began brainstorming ideas for our Support for Pool Party.
“I’ll bring my karaoke machine. ” Ruby offered. “We could make the microphone look like a fish!” someone added. I suggested a “Fun in the Sun” lemonade stand, and everyone jumped in to help. Soon, we had a plan for the best fundraiser ever, complete with a starfish cookie bake sale. We were ready to make it happen! We spent so much time getting everything ready and talking up our fundraiser to everyone we met that we were positive it would be a great success.
The day before our big event, I was squeezing lemons for lemonade when I saw a very dark cloud outside the kitchen window. “Uh-oh! That’s not a rain cloud, is it?” I asked my mom. “Rain would be a disaster! It could ruin everything. ” “You know what they say, ” she answered. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. ” “Hmm, ” I said.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The next day, I arrived at the pool grounds early. People were already starting to arrive, their faces filled with anticipation. The atmosphere was electric with excitement. The lemonade stand was bustling, with people lining up to taste our “Fun in the Sun” special. Tamara’s starfish cookies were a huge hit, disappearing almost as quickly as they were put out. Unluckily, clouds started to gather. Before we knew it, the rain was pouring down, making it difficult for everyone to seek shelter near the pool.
Facing the sudden rain, we were relieved that we had prepared the big umbrellas. Quickly, we set them up over the karaoke machine, lemonade stand, and bake sale tables. Despite the weather, people didn’t seem to mind. They huddled under the umbrellas, continuing to enjoy the activities and support our cause. By the end of the day, we had made more money than we had ever imagined, and everyone left with a smile on their face. It was a reminder that with preparation, creativity, and a positive attitude, even the worst-case scenarios can turn into unforgettable successes.

After my birth, my mother hid my existence for two years by placing me in a children’s home. Eventually, when she introduced me to her strict family, she claimed that I was an adopted child. I imagine that she tried to save face and avoid judgment as well as rejection. Being left in a place without a mother during those formative years of my life came at a great personal cost. It is understandable that I felt annoyed when my therapist (治疗师) helped me understand the psychological implications of my mother’s actions.
During 20-some years of therapy, I labored to unearth, express, and work through such a difficult beginning. I saw a number of wonderful and kind therapists. Gradually, as I have healed from my childhood wounds, I have been lucky enough to enjoy marriage and the family that I haven’t experienced.
What finally moved the needle and allowed for a new relationship with her to be improved was finding a calm place inside myself. I discovered a sense of inner security that had always been there, and that could be found when I gave the relationship time and space. Gradually and naturally the capacity for understanding and compassion for my mother emerged. I was slowly able to let go of burdensome anger. Resting in the spacious room to focus on myself gave me a sense of fullness and ease allowing healing to occur, as if I had been wounded and placed into a hyperbaric (高压的) oxygen room to heal my injuries.
Fifteen years ago, my mother passed away in our garden cottage. At that time, my three children were present to say goodbye, and I was able to be by her side during her final moments. Reflecting on this, I am thankful that our relationship improved over the years. Additionally, I am grateful that our trans-generational experience has had a beneficial impact on her grandchildren and their perspective on life.
4. What was affected by the author’s childhood wounds?
A. The ability to relieve loneliness. B. The courage to express rejection.
C. The development of her character. D. The relationship with her husband.
5. How did the author find a calm place inside herself?
A. By ignoring anger and upset intentionally. B. By receiving hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
C. By trying to be compassionate about her mom. D. By relaxing herself to gain a self-awareness.
6. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experiences?
A. Dull yet unforgettable. B. Effortless yet fulfilling.
C. Challenging yet common. D. Unlucky yet instructive.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text??
A. The Healing Power of Therapy B. A Journey from Anger to Compassion
C. The Importance of Family Acceptance D. A new perspective on life
C
“Girls are weak, and boys are strong. This is what is being subconsciously communicated to hundreds of millions of young boys and girls all over the world, just like it was with me,” said American actor Justin Baldoni. As a boy, all he wanted was to live up to the social standard and get recognition, which meant he had to pretend to be strong when he was weak, confident when he felt insecure, and tough when he was actually hurting.
Is that a healthy lifestyle? A member of the United States Congress might say “yes”. In his proposal, he spoke of a need to “prevent the feminization (女性化) of male youths”. In response to his call, the US Department of Education has recently demanded that schools should hire more physical education teachers to cultivate masculinity in students. The response has been widely debated online, with many people saying that it strengthens gender stereotypes (刻板印象). A post on the Facebook said, “Education is not simply about cultivating men and women. It’s more important to develop a willingness to take responsibility.”
You might be wondering now: What is masculinity, and why is this so controversial? Well, by itself, “masculinity”, which is often associated with strength, courage, confidence, and emotional control, refers to the qualities traditionally considered to be typical of men. Sometimes, however, these seemingly admirable qualities can be extended in unrealistic ways. Blindly asking boys to control their feelings “like a man” can only increase their stress when they grow up.
Attaching more importance to physical education would definitely benefit students, providing physical fitness and lifelong skills. However, putting the emphasis on masculinity is far from a sound reason for which to do so. It is unnecessary for all boys to build up their muscles, but it is essential that they all learn how to be strong inside. It is also fine for boys to cry and to show their weakness. Schools should work on equipping students with the skills and values they will need to be successful in life, not strengthening stereotypes of masculinity borrowed from a bygone age.

A. It was a necessity for him to be a good actor. B. He wanted to be accepted as a true man.

9. Why should schools hire more physical education teachers according to the US Department of Education?
A. To respond to the call of the society. B. To improve teaching methods in schools.

An international team of experts announced threats from climate change and habitat loss have outpaced our ability to protect species in their natural habitats, making urgent action necessary. A biorepository (生物仓库) of preserved cells, and the crucial DNA within them, could be used to enhance genetic diversity in small populations of critically endangered species, or to clone and create new individuals in the worst case of extinction.
A repository to safeguard biological samples from disaster is not a new idea. The Svalbard global seed bank on a remote Norwegian island in the Arctic Circle provides frozen storage of seeds to ensure important food crops can be re-established if wiped out by disease or drought. Recent flooding as a result of warm temperatures however, has proven that not even Svalbard is safe from the effects of worsening climate. The destruction of Ukraine’s seed bank in the war with Russia also poses a threat to biorepositories on Earth.
The proposed lunar biorepository would be a good choice. The moon’s freezing environment means it can provide favorable conditions to preserve the samples year-round without the need for human involvement or an energy source.
“In order for cloning to be an option, one needs cells that are alive,” said Hagedorn, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology involved in the lunar biorepository. “This means it is not possible to clone an animal from only DNA parts, but deextinction is possible if tissue samples are collected and stored in a way that ensures the cells stay alive.”
Given the costs and challenges involved, critics may suggest efforts should focus on preserving species before they come extinct. However, Hagedorn made his point. “When we think linearly, and not in parallel, we get in trouble. If you say: I’m going to do it this way, and it doesn’t work, what’s plan B? We know how to do it and can do it and will do it, although it may take decades to finally achieve.”
With so much of the proposal still in the area of science fiction, the scientists say they hope their paper will generate excitement, new ideas and new international partners — and perhaps a little controversy — about the extreme actions necessary to protect biodiversity.
12. What disqualifies the existing repository for conservation of biological samples?
A. Lack of human involvement. B. Large consumption of energy source.
C. The climate breakdown. D. The inconvenient position.
13. What does the underlined word “deextinction” in Para 4 refer to?
A. Rebirth of species. B. Expansion of ecology.
C. Creation of DNA samples. D. Protection of endangered animals.
14. What do Hagedorn’s words in Para 5 mainly indicate?
A. The lunar biorepository prioritizes the existing one on earth.
B. A backup strategy is necessary to ensure the conservation of species.
C. Preserving species before they come extinct is time-consuming.
D. Controversial opinions may cause trouble with preserving species.
15. What’s the purpose of the proposal made by the scientists?
A. To sparkle further exploration in how to protect biodiversity.
B. To cope with Earth-based disasters faced by the species.
C. To build a biorepository of preserved fossils of endangered species.
D. To develop a technique to enhance genetic diversity.

Our swim team always relied on the Snack Bar to raise money for meets and equipment, but Coach Abby had bad news: it would be closed for repairs through August, meaning no money for upcoming events. Everyone was worried. “Does this mean our swim team is canceled?” Noah asked. Coach Abby comforted us, saying we’d still practice, but she wasn’t sure how the meets would be funded.
The next morning, practice felt strange. None of us were swimming our best, and even Coach Abby was worried. During a break, Noah suggested, “If we can’t run the Snack Bar, maybe we can think of other ways to raise money. ”
“Good idea. ” said Ruby. She suggested a karaoke sing-along (卡拉 OK) like what her brother did to raise funds for his school singing club. Tamara recommended a bake sale. “A. fall festival would be fun!” I added, thinking we could have water-themed games on grounds by the swimming pool.
At first, Coach Abby hesitated. But when she saw how excited we were, she agreed, “OK! Let’ s go for it!” We quickly began brainstorming ideas for our Support for Pool Party.
“I’ll bring my karaoke machine. ” Ruby offered. “We could make the microphone look like a fish!” someone added. I suggested a “Fun in the Sun” lemonade stand, and everyone jumped in to help. Soon, we had a plan for the best fundraiser ever, complete with a starfish cookie bake sale. We were ready to make it happen! We spent so much time getting everything ready and talking up our fundraiser to everyone we met that we were positive it would be a great success.
The day before our big event, I was squeezing lemons for lemonade when I saw a very dark cloud outside the kitchen window. “Uh-oh! That’s not a rain cloud, is it?” I asked my mom. “Rain would be a disaster! It could ruin everything. ” “You know what they say, ” she answered. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. ” “Hmm, ” I said.
