Here are four science research competitions designed for high schoolers. Breakthrough Junior Challenge The Breakthrough Junior Challenge tasks students with creating a short two-minute video, where they explain a complex scientific concept and demonstrate how it works in practice. Awards include a $250,000 college scholarship, and a $50,000 award to a teacher of the winner’s choosing. Eye on the Future Teen Video Contest Participants are tasked with creating a video between 30 seconds and three minutes long, either on their own or in teams of up to three members. Winners receive a paid trip to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair This competition is the world’s largest international pre-college STEM competition. Students present independent research and compete across 22 kinds for awards ranging from $500 to $75,000. This is not a group-based competition — individual students sign up for local school science fairs before advancing to upper-level competitions. American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize This competition challenges students to look into problems regarding the brain or nervous system. It is only open to individual students — group projects are excluded. Winners receive a monetary prize and the chance to present their projects at the AAN Annual Meeting. 21.

It is only open to individual students — group projects are excluded. Winners receive a monetary prize and the chance to present their projects at the AAN Annual Meeting.(这项比赛挑战学生调查有关大脑或神经系统的问题。它只对单个学生开放，不包括团体项目。获胜者将获得奖金，并有机会在AAN年会上展示他们的项目)”可知，美国神经科学院神经科学研究奖（American Academy of Neurology Neuroscience Research Prize）可能会吸引对神经问题感兴趣的参赛者。故选D。 B For a swimmer Peng Huidi with hearing problems, participating in the Chengdu FISU World University Games has been a life-changing experience. Indeed, even though Peng didn’t know it at the time, her journey to the games began in her early childhood in Shandong province. Her hearing was damaged due to a high fever when she was a 2-year-old, with the hearing loss severely weakening her confidence. She became withdrawn and dared not speak to others. Hoping to bring her out of her shell, Peng’s father took her to the nearest swimming pool. It was there that Peng discovered her passion and her talent was spotted by a coach. Supported by her parents, Peng progressed in swimming while also continuing to study diligently at school. However, balancing her academic and athletic endeavors (努力) proved more challenging when she reached high school. Homework was always followed by pool practice, but with the school and training base over 70 kilometers apart, she admitted the daily commute was tiring. She has overcome so many difficulties to compete at this level. Coaches have adapted their methods to ensure Peng clearly understands their instructions. Training plans, for instance, are written down for her. During competitions, she cannot hear the starting buzzer (蜂鸣器), so instead she uses a light next to the pool as her signal to start. This means there is usually a delay of between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds in Peng’s dive off the blocks. To close the gap, she needs to train extra hard. Most of our swimmers are hardworking, but the effort that Peng puts in to get here goes way beyond the norm. Apart from pushing her limits in competition, Peng also approached the Chengdu games as a chance to meet new friends. Swimming makes her a more outgoing person. The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to go forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool. 24. What can we learn about Peng from the first two paragraphs? A She is a full-time athlete. B. She is a untalkative by nature. C. She suffered a lot from hearing loss. D. She had no trouble balancing study and sports. 25. What was the biggest problem facing Peng during competitions? A. Being weaker than others. B. Not hearing the starting buzzer. C. Understanding the coaches’ instructions. D. Balancing her academic and athletic schedules. 26. Which of the following best describes Peng? A. Patient and intelligent. B. Ambitious and talented. C. Creative and open-minded. D. Optimistic and determined. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overcoming Dfficulties: Peng’s Life Story B. From Silence to Success: Peng’s Swimming Story C. Lights, Cameras, Action: Peng in the Swimming Pool D. Balancing Studying and Swimming: Peng’s Secret to Success 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了听力有问题的彭惠迪，从因听力受损变得孤僻，到通过游泳逐渐改变，克服各种困难参加成都大运会，并希望在游泳道路上继续前行的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Her hearing was damaged due to a high fever when she was a 2-year-old, with the hearing loss severely weakening her confidence. She became withdrawn and dared not speak to others.(她两岁时的一次高烧导致听力受损，严重挫伤了她的自信心。她变得孤僻，不敢和别人说话)”可知，彭惠迪深受听力障碍的影响。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During competitions, she cannot hear the starting buzzer, so instead she uses a light next to the pool as her signal to start. This means there is usually a delay of between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds in Peng’s dive off the blocks.(在比赛中，她听不到起跑铃声，所以她用泳池旁边的灯作为起跑信号。这意味着彭跳下跳台通常会有0.2到0.5秒的延迟)”可知，彭惠迪听不到出发哨声是她比赛期间面临的最大的问题。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She has overcome so many difficulties to compete at this level.(她克服了许多困难才达到现在的水平)”及最后一段“The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to go forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool.(这位 19 岁的女孩计划毕业后继续游泳，并且希望在泳池内外都尽可能地走得更远)”可知，她克服困难坚持游泳，并且有远大的目标，说明她乐观且有决心。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及最后一段“Apart from pushing her limits in competition, Peng also approached the Chengdu games as a chance to meet new friends. Swimming makes her a more outgoing person. The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to go forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool.(除了在比赛中突破自己的极限，彭惠迪还将成都奥运会视为结识新朋友的机会。游泳使她成为一个更外向的人。19岁的她计划毕业后继续游泳，并希望尽可能地向前冲——在泳池内外)”可知，文章主要讲述了听力有问题的彭惠迪，从因听力受损变得孤僻，到通过游泳逐渐改变，克服各种困难参加成都大运会，并希望在游泳道路上继续前行的故事，从沉默变得成功。故B项“从沉默到胜利：彭惠迪的游泳故事”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C Food waste produced from the Clipper Cafe in Shaldon in the United Kingdom used to be sent away to landfill, but they have found a new way to deal with it. This machine breaks down the waste in less than 24 hours — reducing the volume by up to 90% — producing a material that can be put back on the farm. The machine works by using heat and enzymes to reduce the moisture content. It’s hoped it will help the environment. “Going to landfill is not sustainable. And it’s doing a huge amount of damage to the environment. So, we are addressing this food waste on-site where it’s produced,” said William Bedell, the machine provider. The farm and cafe are part of the same business. Much of the produce for the cafe comes from the farm. And the cafe is now sending back the leftovers. The process is quick, usually taking around 15 hours per load. Peter French, the cafe and farm owner told the reporter, “It’s become noticeable over the years how much material goes to waste — food waste in the kitchen preparation and leftovers from table is full of nutrient that we really do need on the farm to keep the soil healthy and productive for next year’s crops.” “It just feels right to be returning that organic matter back to the land that originally produced the food. The compost that comes out is a beautiful light, fluffy material. We will be spreading this back on the land through the spring for this year’s crops. And it’s hoped that that produce will end up back on plates in the cafe soon,” said Peter French. 28. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The new way. B. The machine. C. The food waste. D. Heat and enzymes. 29. Where does the food waste from the cafe go? A. Landfill. B. Farm. C. Cafe shop. D. Machine factory. 30. Which best describes the new way to deal with the food waste? A. Recycling. B. Productive. C. High-cost. D. Time-demanding. 31. What can we infer from what Peter French said? A. The cafe and farm owner cares more about making money. B. Food waste should be returned back to the land directly. C. Kitchen preparation is the main source of food waste. D. The technology of dealing with food waste has a bright future. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英国沙尔登的克利伯咖啡馆将产生的食物垃圾送回农场，再次回收利用的事情。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Food waste produced from the Clipper Cafe in Shaldon in the United Kingdom used to be sent away to landfill, but they have found a new way to deal with it.(英国沙尔登的克利伯咖啡馆产生的食物垃圾过去被送往垃圾填埋场，但他们找到了一种新的处理方法)”以及画线词后文“will help the environment”可知，咖啡馆找到了处理食物垃圾的新方法，希望这种新方法能对环境有所帮助。由此推知，it指的是“新方法”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The farm and cafe are part of the same business. Much of the produce for the cafe comes from the farm. And the cafe is now sending back the leftovers.(农场和咖啡馆是同一业务的一部分。这家咖啡馆的大部分农产品都来自农场。咖啡馆现在把剩菜退回来了)”可知，咖啡馆的食物垃圾去了农场。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The farm and cafe are part of the same business. Much of the produce for the cafe comes from the farm. And the cafe is now sending back the leftovers. The process is quick, usually taking around 15 hours per load.(农场和咖啡馆是同一业务的一部分。这家咖啡馆的大部分农产品都来自农场。咖啡馆现在把剩菜退回来了。这个过程很快，每次装载大约需要15个小时)”以及最后一段中“It just feels right to be returning that organic matter back to the land that originally produced the food.(将有机物返回到最初生产食物的土地上感觉很好)”可推知，处理食物垃圾的新方法是回收利用的。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It just feels right to be returning that organic matter back to the land that originally produced the food. The compost that comes out is a beautiful light, fluffy material. We will be spreading this back on the land through the spring for this year’s crops. And it’s hoped that that produce will end up back on plates in the cafe soon,” said Peter French.(“将有机物返回到最初生产食物土地上感觉很好。出来的堆肥是一种美丽、轻盈、蓬松的材料。今年春天，我们将把这种肥料撒回地里，以便种庄稼。希望这些农产品很快就能回到咖啡馆的盘子里。”)”可推知，处理食物垃圾的技术有一个光明的未来。故选D。 D The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑), you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it? If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindfulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 32. Which of the following best shows delayed satisfaction? A. Receiving an instant reward after winning. B. Giving up a hard-gained opportunity. C. Playing computer games within limited time. D. Postponing bonuses for better outcomes. 33. Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities. B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs. D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy. B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C. A method of practicing delayed satisfaction. D. The effectiveness of keeping the chain going. 35. What does the author suggest people do for returning to temptations? A. Ignore useless details. B. Get rid of old bad habits. C. Concentrate on true inner wants. D. Cancel temptations from the calendar. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是延迟满足的概念、其对个人成功的意义及实现延迟满足的策略与技巧。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. (延迟满足的标准定义是延迟立即获得奖励的冲动，以便稍后获得更有利的奖励的能力)”可知，延迟满足是延迟奖励以获得更好的结果。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. (能够延迟满足并不是最容易获得的技能。它涉及感觉不满意，这就是为什么对于那些还没有学会控制自己的冲动的人来说似乎是不可能的)”可知，延迟满足很难做到是因为选择立刻拥有某些东西可能会感觉很好，是舒适的。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time.(Seinfeld策略是几种有助于自我满足的技巧之一，你可以用它来推迟满足感，延长等待的时间)”以及下文中介绍的关于Seinfeld策略的内容可知，第四段主要描述了“Seinfeld策略”是一种练习延迟满足的方法。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it? If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. (你是否发现自己不假思索地又回到了诱惑之中？如果是这种情况，你可以练习正念以更加了解自己所做的事情)”可知，作者建议人们专注于真正的内心需求以此来抵御诱惑。故选C。 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。 I frequently see online videos where a group of girls travel to a destination as friends but leave as enemies. It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills. ___36___ Luckily, there are ways to minimize arguments and ensure your friendships survive your next group trip. ___37___ Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends, in which case there’ll be no surprises when you’re trying to pick out an Airbnb or make dinner reservations. Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary (行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.? ___38___ The same goes for boundaries. Better to know what makes them uncomfortable beforehand than have to negotiate mid-trip. Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility? ___39___ I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule, but some structure is key, or else you’re spending half your vacation researching. Some people need a break to recharge or sleep and others may want to work out or read a book. ___40___ It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish. A. It pays to tour with friends. B. I believe it’s a mixture of both. C. Don’t forget to block out alone time. D. Be frank about your budget and preferences. E. If the answer is yes, you’ll have to make a change. F. There is no point in complaining about external disturbance. G. Setting schedule expectations helps you plan the trip effectively. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. G 39. E 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了可以减少旅游时发生争吵导致友谊破裂的方法。 【36题详解】 上文“It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills.(人们普遍认为，这些友谊的破裂是由于不同的旅行偏好或缺乏解决冲突的能力)”是描述对于旅行结束后友谊破裂人们普遍认为的原因，B项“我认为这是两者的结合”作者提出自己的看法，B项中“both”指代上文“different travel preferences”和“lack of conflict resolution skills”，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends(关于住宿，例如，你宁愿入住青年旅馆而不是五星级酒店，这样你可以花更多的钱在美食上。你优先考虑的需求应该告诉你的朋友)”可知，本段是说要和朋友说清楚预算和需求，D项“坦白你的预算和喜好”适合作为本段主旨句，故选D。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary (行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.?(你的朋友们是喜欢早上7点开始的有组织的行程，还是喜欢在空闲的时候起床，然后自由地度过一天？他们是准备派对到天亮，还是想在晚上10点前结束？)”可知，此处是讲设定行程的重要性，G项“设定行程预期可以帮助你有效地计划旅行”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 上文“Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility?(你是一个严格遵守旅行计划，不允许任何灵活性的人吗？)”提出问题：你是一个严格遵守旅行计划，不允许任何灵活性的人吗？下文“I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule(我发现在旅行前有一个自由的行程安排是很有帮助的。你可以随时修改你的日程安排)”提到自由、灵活的行程安排，和上文“严格遵守计划、不允许任何灵活性”相反，故E项“如果答案是肯定的，你将不得不做出改变”符合语境，E项中的“answer”呼应上文问题，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据下文“It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish.(这是每个人的假期，所以每个人都应该有自己的假期)”可知，每个人都应该有属于自己的时间，C项“别忘了留出独处的时间”符合语境，故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 CRACK!

Often, it leads to self-doubt and anxiety, impacting their self-esteem and daily life. This concern can stem from a strong desire for social acceptance and fear of rejection. Another reason for this sensitivity is the formative stage of identity development during adolescence. Peer influence is also a significant factor, as teenagers often seek validation from their social circle to fit in. To overcome this challenge, my suggestion is to cultivate self-awareness and self-acceptance. Engaging in activities that build confidence, such as hobbies and sports, can also be beneficial. It’s essential to remember that everyone has unique qualities, and embracing individuality is crucial for personal growth and happiness. Let’s encourage our peers to be true to themselves and not let the opinions of others define their self-worth. Mood swings Mood swings are a common psychological challenge among teenagers, characterized by sudden and extreme changes in emotions. The primary reason for mood swings is the hormonal changes that occur during adolescence, which can affect emotional regulation. Additionally, the pressure to perform well academically and socially can contribute to emotional instability. To manage mood swings my advice is to maintain a balanced lifestyle with regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep. Practicing mindfulness and stress management techniques, such as yoga or meditation, can also help in achieving emotional balance. It’s also important for teenagers to seek support from friends, family, or counselors when they’re feeling overwhelmed. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图画作文。你校英文报“Psychology of Teenagers”栏目正在征稿，要求考生选取图中反映的一个青少年心理问题，写一篇短文投稿。 【详解】(范文1) 1词汇积累 源自：stem from→come from 重要：crucial→vital 建议：suggestion→advice 克服：overcome→ger over 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：To overcome this challenge, my suggestion is to cultivate self-awareness and self-acceptance. 拓展句：If you want to overcome this challenge, my suggestion is to cultivate self-awareness and self-acceptance. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Often, it leads to self-doubt and anxiety, impacting their self-esteem and daily life.

Besides, my limp (瘸腿) made me mindful. I was worried that my classmates might laugh at me. It would be terrible when they made fun of me. “You are a brave girl. I'm sure your classmates will understand. Now, run along. Daddy will take you to school,” said my mother. On reaching school, my father took me to the headmaster’s office. Later, I was taken to my class. On the way I noticed some children staring at me and laughing. I was miserable. My limp became more pronounced and I wanted to go home. But with Mother’s words in mind I managed to walk to the class. The teacher introduced me to the class and said, “Anu, go and sit on that chair in the front row. The girl next to you is Mala.” She was good-looking and I liked her. During lunch break, I asked Mala, “Where do you live?” Mala did not answer. I thought she had not heard me. I was about to repeat my question when Mala began to tell other classmates how she had learnt to swim. I moved closer to her and said, “I also swim.” She just ignored me. I felt abused. What hurt me most was that they went to play basketball during the games periods, saying I could not play. When I reached home that afternoon, I burst into tears when hearing my mother’s first question “How was your day, Anu?” I told her my classmates didn’t like me and that they didn’t allow me to play basketball with them. Mummy gathered me in her arms. “Now, Anu, don’t cry. Give them a couple of days. Do your work well and be friendly and you’ll see things will work out differently.” Seeing me depressed, she added, “You are a good swimmer. Why don't you go swimming during the games periods? I’ll write a permission letter to your teacher.” At this, I jumped with joy. The next day I took my swimming kit and the letter to school. As soon as I arrived in class, I handed the letter to the teacher, who agreed without hesitation. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 My heart pounded with anticipation as I walked to the pool during the games period. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at angry Mala, I kept silent before the saved girl pointed to me and said, “She saved me.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My heart pounded with anticipation as I walked to the pool during the games period. Suddenly, I noticed bubbles in the water. “What could it be?” I wondered. Then, I saw a clump of hair and two hands waving in the water. “A girl is drowning!” I shouted, looking around. Seeing no one else nearby, I jumped into the pool to save her. As soon as we scrambled out of the pool, Mala appeared and looked at me accusingly, “Why did you push her in?” Looking at angry Mala, I kept silent before the saved girl pointed to me and said, “She saved me.” Mala’s expression shifted from anger to disbelief, and then to gratitude. She must have misunderstood me earlier. “I’m sorry,” Mala said, her voice softening. “I didn’t know you were such a skilled swimmer. Thank you for saving her.” From that moment on, my classmates’ attitude towards me changed. They began to include me in their conversations and games, and I finally felt accepted. My mother’s advice had been correct — all it took was a little patience and courage to reveal my true self. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因瘸腿初到新校，在学校被同学孤立，回家哭诉，妈妈鼓励她并建议其游泳，女孩获老师许可准备去尝试。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“体育课期间，我走向泳池，心中充满期待。”可知，第一段可描写作者在泳池发现有女孩溺水并下水营救，而玛拉不了解详情从而误解了是作者将女孩推进了游泳池。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着愤怒的玛拉，在被救女孩指着我说‘是她救了我’之前，我一直保持沉默。”可知，第二段可描写玛拉态度的转变，同学们对作者态度的改变及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：走向泳池——发现溺水女孩——下水营救——玛拉误解——女孩澄清——同学态度改变——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/observe ②喊叫：shout/yell ③出现：appear/turn up 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing no one else nearby, I jumped into the pool to save her.

B For a swimmer Peng Huidi with hearing problems, participating in the Chengdu FISU World University Games has been a life-changing experience. Indeed, even though Peng didn’t know it at the time, her journey to the games began in her early childhood in Shandong province. Her hearing was damaged due to a high fever when she was a 2-year-old, with the hearing loss severely weakening her confidence. She became withdrawn and dared not speak to others. Hoping to bring her out of her shell, Peng’s father took her to the nearest swimming pool. It was there that Peng discovered her passion and her talent was spotted by a coach. Supported by her parents, Peng progressed in swimming while also continuing to study diligently at school. However, balancing her academic and athletic endeavors (努力) proved more challenging when she reached high school. Homework was always followed by pool practice, but with the school and training base over 70 kilometers apart, she admitted the daily commute was tiring. She has overcome so many difficulties to compete at this level. Coaches have adapted their methods to ensure Peng clearly understands their instructions. Training plans, for instance, are written down for her. During competitions, she cannot hear the starting buzzer (蜂鸣器), so instead she uses a light next to the pool as her signal to start. This means there is usually a delay of between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds in Peng’s dive off the blocks. To close the gap, she needs to train extra hard. Most of our swimmers are hardworking, but the effort that Peng puts in to get here goes way beyond the norm. Apart from pushing her limits in competition, Peng also approached the Chengdu games as a chance to meet new friends. Swimming makes her a more outgoing person. The 19-year-old plans to continue swimming after graduating, and hopes to go forward as far as possible — in and out of the pool. 24. What can we learn about Peng from the first two paragraphs? A.

What was the biggest problem facing Peng during competitions? A. Being weaker than others. B. Not hearing the starting buzzer. C. Understanding the coaches’ instructions. D. Balancing her academic and athletic schedules. 26. Which of the following best describes Peng? A. Patient and intelligent. B. Ambitious and talented. C. Creative and open-minded. D. Optimistic and determined. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overcoming Dfficulties: Peng’s Life Story B. From Silence to Success: Peng’s Swimming Story C. Lights, Cameras, Action: Peng in the Swimming Pool D. Balancing Studying and Swimming: Peng’s Secret to Success C Food waste produced from the Clipper Cafe in Shaldon in the United Kingdom used to be sent away to landfill, but they have found a new way to deal with it. This machine breaks down the waste in less than 24 hours — reducing the volume by up to 90% — producing a material that can be put back on the farm. The machine works by using heat and enzymes to reduce the moisture content. It’s hoped it will help the environment. “Going to landfill is not sustainable. And it’s doing a huge amount of damage to the environment. So, we are addressing this food waste on-site where it’s produced,” said William Bedell, the machine provider. The farm and cafe are part of the same business. Much of the produce for the cafe comes from the farm. And the cafe is now sending back the leftovers. The process is quick, usually taking around 15 hours per load. Peter French, the cafe and farm owner told the reporter, “It’s become noticeable over the years how much material goes to waste — food waste in the kitchen preparation and leftovers from table is full of nutrient that we really do need on the farm to keep the soil healthy and productive for next year’s crops.” “It just feels right to be returning that organic matter back to the land that originally produced the food. The compost that comes out is a beautiful light, fluffy material. We will be spreading this back on the land through the spring for this year’s crops. And it’s hoped that that produce will end up back on plates in the cafe soon,” said Peter French. 28. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The new way. B. The machine. C. The food waste. D. Heat and enzymes. 29. Where does the food waste from the cafe go? A. Landfill. B. Farm. C. Cafe shop. D. Machine factory. 30. Which best describes the new way to deal with the food waste? A. Recycling. B. Productive. C. High-cost. D. Time-demanding. 31. What can we infer from what Peter French said? A. The cafe and farm owner cares more about making money. B. Food waste should be returned back to the land directly. C. Kitchen preparation is the main source of food waste. D. The technology of dealing with food waste has a bright future. D The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑), you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it? If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindfulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 32. Which of the following best shows delayed satisfaction? A. Receiving an instant reward after winning. B. Giving up a hard-gained opportunity. C. Playing computer games within limited time. D. Postponing bonuses for better outcomes. 33. Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities. B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs. D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy. B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C. A method of practicing delayed satisfaction. D. The effectiveness of keeping the chain going. 35. What does the author suggest people do for returning to temptations? A. Ignore useless details. B. Get rid of old bad habits. C. Concentrate on true inner wants. D. Cancel temptations from the calendar. 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。 I frequently see online videos where a group of girls travel to a destination as friends but leave as enemies.

I was hesitant to go because I had no friends there. Besides my limp (瘸腿) made me mindful. I was worried that my classmates might laugh at me. It would be terrible when they made fun of me. “You are a brave girl. I'm sure your classmates will understand. Now, run along. Daddy will take you to school,” said my mother. On reaching school, my father took me to the headmaster’s office. Later, I was taken to my class. On the way I noticed some children staring at me and laughing. I was miserable. My limp became more pronounced and I wanted to go home. But with Mother’s words in mind I managed to walk to the class. The teacher introduced me to the class and said, “Anu, go and sit on that chair in the front row. The girl next to you is Mala.” She was good-looking and I liked her. During lunch break, I asked Mala, “Where do you live?” Mala did not answer. I thought she had not heard me. I was about to repeat my question when Mala began to tell other classmates how she had learnt to swim. I moved closer to her and said, “I also swim.” She just ignored me. I felt abused. What hurt me most was that they went to play basketball during the games periods, saying I could not play. When I reached home that afternoon, I burst into tears when hearing my mother’s first question “How was your day, Anu?” I told her my classmates didn’t like me and that they didn’t allow me to play basketball with them. Mummy gathered me in her arms. “Now, Anu, don’t cry. Give them a couple of days. Do your work well and be friendly and you’ll see things will work out differently.” Seeing me depressed, she added, “You are a good swimmer. Why don't you go swimming during the games periods? I’ll write a permission letter to your teacher.” At this, I jumped with joy. The next day I took my swimming kit and the letter to school. As soon as I arrived in class, I handed the letter to the teacher, who agreed without hesitation. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式相应位置作答。 My heart pounded with anticipation as I walked to the pool during the games period. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking at angry Mala, I kept silent before the saved girl pointed to me and said, “She saved me.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Did you get caught in the rain storm this afternoon?
