第一节
Dear Penny,
I'm writing to share with you an exciting event that first took place at our school.
Named Nature in My Eyes, the student photography exhibition was held yesterday afternoon, displaying entries that highlighted the beauty of nature in fantastic and impressive ways. The event was a huge success, drawing students, teachers and even community leaders to admire the photographs.
Participating in this event was a rewarding experience for me. It allowed me to develop a deeper appreciation for the natural wonders while further improving my photography skills. I feel grateful to have been a part of this event.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Mr. Johnson arrived, but this time, with a cardboard box in his hand. I knew Alley would have to leave us again. Tears filled my eyes once again. I asked Mr. Johnson if I could hold the cat for a few more minutes, and to my surprise, he didn't say a word but burst into laughter. Bending down to look into my eyes, he inquired, “What would you think if I allowed Dewey to stay with you forever?” Before I could react, Mr. Johnson handed me the cardboard box, explaining that it contained Dewey's necessities.
I was too excited to believe my ears. Drying my tears, I turned to my parents, who expressed their permission with a smile. As Mr. Johnson departed, we expressed our heartfelt gratitude for his generosity and kindness. From that day on, Dewey, or rather, Alley, became a cherished member of our family. Sometimes I wonder what made our cat decide to stop being Dewey and become Alley. I may never know, but what I do know is that the kind stranger's goodness has brought immense joy to my life.

The International Astronomical Youth Camp
Every summer, the International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) takes place somewhere in Europe. About seventy people from a wide range of different countries live together for three weeks. Participants are between 16 and 24 years old and share a common interest: astronomy.
Participation
Our fee is €1,090 and the application deadline is March, 17th. Applicants will receive an outcome by the end of April. If accepted, you'll need to transfer the full fee within seven days. You can withdraw your application at any time before we receive the participation fee. After that, we will refund your money but there will be an administration fee of €50 taken from the total if you drop out before July, 14th and €100 afterwards.
Grants
If financial reasons are keeping you from applying, we encourage you to seek support from our grant programme, which covers up to €1,040 of the participation fee. Note: this means you must still cover other expenses such as the cost of travel to and from the camp by other means.

For 34-year-old Megan Swann, turning magic into something green was trickier than it first appeared. “You soon realize when you’re working as a magician at parties, no one wants to hear about deforestation while you’re performing the ‘torn and restored newspaper’. ‘Happy birthday! The world is burning!’ doesn’t really work,” she laughs.
But she didn’t give up and insisted on making innovations in her magic —a new take on the age-old art form. It’s an interesting combination. There is, after all, something unnatural about magic: it breaks the laws of physics, suspends reality for a few magical seconds and disturbs our perception of the world. But it could also be a powerful force to help us reconnect with nature.
Swann’s love for magic began at age five when she received a magic set. By age eight, she was attracted by a magician named Roy Marsh, whose performance at her birthday inspired her to start practicing. As a young magician, she joined the Young Magicians Club, eventually becoming involved with London’s famous Magic Circle.
Swann realized that educational shows — rather than casual events —were her calling and she designed a show for schoolchildren. It included the “deforestation deception (骗局)”and other skillful green-fingered tricks. “I tried to link the tricks to action that people watching could take. So, I produced flowers and reminded them all to grow more things,” she says.
Other tricks included the “Needle Through Balloon” representing heat being trapped, “Endless Water” to get the impact of turning off the tap, and “The Miser’s Dream” — a magic routine in which magicians classically produce coins from the air — but with lightbulbs instead of hard cash. And, like any good show — fire. “Because global warming is going to make things hot!” she says.
Her work has gained recognition. In 2021, she became the first female president of the Magic Circle. Swann believes that magic, with its visual impact and ability to engage a wide audience, is a powerful tool to inspire action. “Magic shows that even impossible things can happen,” she concludes.
24. What might people think of Megan Swann’s green magic idea at first?
A. Beneficial. B. Short-lived. C. Old-fashioned. D. Unappealing.
25. Why did Megan Swann persist in performing her special magic?
A. To preserve the traditional art form. B. To stimulate environmental awareness.
C. To entertain children at birthday parties. D. To promote famous magicians in history.
26. What can we know about Megan Swann?
A. She enjoys gardening a lot. B. She showed a talent for acting at five.
C. She is a creative and responsible person. D. She prefers fixed and traditional magic tricks.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Megan Swann combines magic and education to inspire action.
B. Megan Swann brings back to life an important age-old art form.
C. Megan Swann’s childhood inspired her to pursue a career in magic.
D. Megan Swann became the first female president of the Magic Circle.
C
Over 50 years ago, at the Marsh Supermarket in Troy, as in major grocers throughout the United States, cashiers would ring up items by entering the price of each by hand on a cash register before computing the final total. The morning of June 26, 1974, though, saw something new: An employee named Sharon Buchanan rang up a package of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum without ever having to key in a price. Instead, she used a remarkable new device to scan a symbol on the packaging that would indicate the cost. The large scanner — visible to the customer only as a silver plate with four light sensors — was one of the store's ten new Spectra-Physics Model A's. For customers and cashiers alike, it would change shopping forever, making checkout a piece of cake.
Marsh had been preparing for this big day since 1970, when the grocery industry began to study the possibilities of introducing bar code scanning into stores. Though some shoppers and clerks at the grocer's were doubtful about the new tech, the checkout process itself was undeniably smoother. Speaking to the Troy Daily News, the store manager at Marsh's declared a victory for all shoppers: “This system will prevent cashier error, and it also ensures the customer that she is getting the full advantage of price breaks
on items which are sold in multiples.”
This Spectra-Physics Model A price scanner projected light onto a given item's bar code. In no time at all, the machine's photodiodes (光敏二极管)then translated the reflected light and directed the decoded data to an in-store computer, which matched the incoming signal with a product description and price. The device could translate a code so small that it could be printed on a pack of chewing gum.
Marking the beginning of what we now refer to as “frictionless” technology, the scanner's design immediately declared its modernity. Where much of 19th-century technology tended not to hide its cogs (轮齿) and wheels, most operations of a supermarket scanner take place out of sight. “It's designed to be an invisible technology,” says Hal Wallace, who is in charge of electricity collections at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
28. Which aspect of the Spectra-Physics Model A is highlighted in paragraph 1?
A. Its plate-like shape. B. Its domestic market. C. Its prohibitive cost. D. Its historical impact.
29. What can we say about the Marsh Supermarket?
A. It brought the prices of groceries down.
B. It was an early pioneer in modern technology.
C. It employed unique strategies to attract customers.
D. It was an undeniable success in training employees.
30. What function did photodiodes perform?
A. Turning the reflected light into signals. B. Ensuring in-store computer operations.
C. Projecting light onto targeted bar codes. D. Matching signals with product descriptions.
31. What do Wallace's words imply about the scanner's design?
A. It is complicated. B. It is eco-friendly. C. It is innovative. D. It is long-lasting.
D
“Are we alone in the universe? That's the core question we're trying to answer here,” Meenakshi Wadhwa, a planetary scientist with ties to NASA, tells her class. As she explains that to answer this “we need to go back to Mars to collect rocks”, one student takes notes while another holds up a smartphone to photograph the slides. In many ways this lecture hall at Arizona State University (ASU) is like any other. A group of students sit attentively, but their hearing aids suggest how unusual this class is.
Mirabella, a 20-story “university retirement community” on ASU's campus, is home to over 300 golden-agers. When it opened its doors in 2020, the facility was nearly fully subscribed. Most residents are having a ball. They get a university pass, which allows them to attend the same classes and cultural events as students, but with the distinct benefit of not having to take exams. Golf cars can drive them around the campus, though many are still fit enough to ride mountain bikes.
This is a growing trend. An estimated 85 colleges in America have retirement communities located on or near their campuses. The idea sprang from two college presidents who wanted to retire on campus in the 1980s. Today, universities from Central Florida to Iowa State to Stanford offer such arrangements. With more than 10,000 baby-boomers in America turning 65 every day, the opportunity for alternative forms of retirement is large. Compared with previous generations, boomers are wealthy and educated. They want to remain active, stimulated and not locked away. These wishes can all be met on a university campus.
For universities, welcoming elderly residents can make sense, too. Nationally, undergraduate enrolment dropped from over 18m in 2010 to below 16m in 2022. Andrew Carle, at Georgetown University, regularly consults with universities who wonder what to do with the extra space. The smartest ones, he says, provide a continuum(连续体) of care — for the very last stage of life. “The philanthropy (善事) is the icing on the cake,” he says of the potential that residents will include universities in their wills.
32. What makes Wadhwa's class unusual?
A. Her teaching style. B. Her lecture content.
C. The lecture hall setting. D. The identity of her students.
33. What does the underlined part “having a ball” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Having a duty. B. Teaching themselves.
C. Playing with a ball. D. Enjoying themselves.
34. What can be inferred about the trend?
A. It has been a sudden success. B. It causes great anxiety for Carle.
C. It is a win-win situation. D. It enables baby-boomers to retire later.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Senior living: back to school B. Mirabella: a community of faith
C. ASU: a university of lifelong learning D. Golden-agers: an example to the youth

As research increasingly highlights the connection between nature and happiness, it’s clear that a lack of trees and fresh air is harmful to one’s mind and body. 36 While a local park or a bird-filled urban tree can help, is it possible that watching nature on a screen offers similar benefits?
The answer is yes, according to a 2017 study from BBC Earth. Now, BBC Earth is in the business of bringing the natural world to the screen. Nevertheless, the research showed that watching nature documentaries can help boost viewers’ emotions, inspiring awe, satisfaction, joy, amusement, and curiosity. 37
While it might be difficult to imagine that viewing mountains on television could have the same impact as seeing them in real life, there may indeed be something to it. 38 It is a mission to bring real happiness to as many people as possible by improving their connection to the natural world.
39 They consist of footage (镜头) from Planet Earth II. Think of them as long meditative(冥想的) journeys through specific landscapes. Unlike traditional documentaries that require active engagement, these visual soundscapes are designed to be a passive experience, similar to a virtual walk through various landscapes. They offer a unique way to bring the peace of nature into our everyday lives, proving that even in the absence of physical interaction with nature, we can still benefit from its calming influence.
According to BBC Earth, its project does a lot of good to the audience when they return home from work. 40 It is surely worth a shot.
A. Besides, it also acts to reduce feelings of tiredness and anger.
B. However, not everyone has access to a forest in their backyard.
C. This was the inspiration behind BBC Earth’s Real Happiness Project.
D. The BBC program has done a lot of research on their audience.
E. It shows how soundscape listeners relax while listening to the sounds.
F. One of the initiatives of the project was the creation of “visual soundscapes”.
G. If you can’t fly over mountains, try a meditative journey in front of your screen.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, a handsome cat appeared at our back door. I had never had a pet before. That entire afternoon, we two played together joyfully. When it got dark, I begged my parents to let my new friend come inside so I could feed him. However, Mom shook her head, explaining, “It might confuse him.” With regret, I had to say goodbye to him unwillingly.
Yet, to my surprise, the cat was still there the next morning. I spent another happy day with him and named him Alley. But my parents reminded me that I'd better find Alley's rightful owners. My mom helped me create several “Found Cat” flyers with our phone number, and I drew a picture of the cat on each one, which we hung around the neighborhood.
The next day, a tall man arrived at our door holding one of our flyers. Before anyone could speak, Alley walked over to the man and rubbed against his leg.
“My name's Mark Johnson,” the man said, gladly picking Alley up. “I see you've met my only roommate, Dewey. He wanders when I'm out of town. Can I offer you good people a reward for taking care of him?”
“No,” Dad said. “It was a pleasure to have him as our guest.”
I was, however, completely silent, feeling tears building up in my eyes. Mr. Johnson seemed to notice my sad feeling. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and said to me softly, “I only live a few blocks away. If you would ever like to visit Dewey, you can call me.” I nodded my head slightly.
Days passed, and I would often look out the window, hoping for the cat's return. Then one afternoon, surprisingly, I did see him appear at our back door once more. My heart beat with joy. I rushed out and held him tightly in my arms. Oh, how I wished the cat could stay with me forever! But my parents insisted, “Sorry, honey! Alley is not ours, remember?” Then Mom called Mr. Johnson to come and pick up the cat.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Mr. Johnson arrived, but this time, with a cardboard box in his hand.
I was too excited to believe my ears.
