Four years ago,life rewarded me for all the challenges I embraced in search of
self-improvement.My spirits rose when I was selected to be in the Youth Exchange and Study
(YES)programme and I realized that I was goirig to spend a full year in another country.Before
that moment,living on the other side of the Atlantic had always equated-for a young Moroccan
(摩洛哥的)woman who had never set foot abroad一to an anxiety-free atmosphere,welcoming
neighbors,and countless opportunities.Fortunately,my host community checked all these boxes.
My host mother went above and beyond to take care of my-needs,my teachers were very
accommodating with regards to my schoolwork,and I could use my status as an exchange student
as an excuse when I needed a favor or an exception.As a YES student,peers from so many
diverse backgrounds at school were interested in getting to know me better.With all this unique
treatment,I thought to myself,"Hold on a second!Is this what you came for?"Even though my
host community was so helpful and welcoming,I realized that I was growing too satisfied with my
life.I remembered that I came here for a challenge and that I was determined to strengthen my
capacities.
To develop greater perseverance,I joined my host school's swim tcam,even though I had no
prior experience in this sport.For over five months,I walked myself-sometimes reluctantly-
to swim practices.During those practices,I did the best I could for threc hours each day.
One of my best achievements that year was competing in one of the biggest swim meets of
the year.From an outsider's perspective,it might not seem like much,espccially since I didn't
even win.However,I was never the athletic type,nor have I ever been particularly outstanding in
第4页共10页
terms of discipline and commitment.Yet that was cxactly what I achieved.I gaincd disciplinc and
I came to the realization that I do not need to be perfect at cverything that I try for the first time.
Growth can take many forms.In my case,it took the form of a humid cciling and an ovcrly
tight polycster cap.Growth can only be achieved by challenging personal limits and breaking frce
from comfort zones.This is not always a glamorous process,but it always brings you closer to a
new and improved version of yourself.
24.How did the author feel about her life in the host community?

B.She decided to assist the tcam in fostering perseverance.
C.She was confident about her swimming capacity
D.She realized her primary goal was neglected.
26.The author's achievement on the swim team shows that_
A.consistent effort is more important than talent
B.one should be committed to what he is doing
C.growth is about progress,not perfection
D.athleticism plays a role in swim meets
27.What can we conclude from this passage?
A.Rome was not built in a day
B.Where there's a will,there's a way.
C.A smooth sca never made a skilled sailor.
D.The grass is always greener on the other side.

Ghosting is a term that refers to the practice of one person cnding all forms of
communication with another,without anv notice or reason Messages are left on "read",calls are
ignored,and social media tics may be severed.
Before the Internct,many relationships were formed within intcr-connccted circles,typically
through friends or at work.It would have becn much harder to complctcly sever contact with
someonc without the awkwardncss of bumping into them or facing negative social implications
within the community.Now with so many relationships initiated online with fewer cor:uons in
common,therc are fewcr conscqucnces to deal with if we decidc to disconnect from someone in a
less-than-ethical way.
Ghosting can be scen as an effortless solution for avoiding the emotional messiness of having
to cxplain to somcbody why you no longer want to continue cngaging with them.Dclibcrately
avoiding conflicts can be a form of self-protection to safeguard the ghoster from anxicty or stress,
especially if they have had negative cxpcriences dealing with conflict in the past.
一
Ghosting culturc can also be interpreted as resulting from the unlimited choices that we now
have at our fingertips when it comes to finding a new partner,job or social circle to join.With the
huge array of possibilities out there for us to pick from,it has become far too easy to view others
as commodities.ready to trade in at the click of a button for somelhing bigger and better.Decision
fatigue (plays a factor too,especially when we are trying to balance numerous options all in
onc go.Ghosting provides a practical strategy for wecding out less desirable candidates and
saving our energy and timc from having to explain why they didn't make the cut.
Ghosting might be becoming incrcasingly frcquent these days,but that doesn't mean it has
become any easier to deal with.The ghostee might then endlessly re-examine every last
interaction to pinpoint a cause for the terminauon of the relationship.This usually lcads to
negative conclusions and self-blame.
However.it's not only the recipient who suffers from thc consequences of ghosting.If
ghosting and avoidance become a common occurrence in the ghoster's social interactions with
others,they risk missing out on healthy long-tcrm relationships that require effective
communication skills.problem-solving and trust in order to thrive.
Disconnection is an unavoidable aspect of life but how we choose to end relationships is fully
within our control.It may seem cliche but adopting old-fashioned principles,such as treating
others the way we would like to be treated.will prevent us from bccoming a society haunted by
undesirable behaviour.

Art has always occupied a special place in society.Many people consider artists to be the
ultimate authorities on the naturc and expression of beauty.For much of history,the practicc of art
was mysterious,and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad.Even the word
most commonly associated with artists-inspiration-has its own magical qualities.Literally,
"inspiration"is the breathing in of a spirit.Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely
inspired to create.
Of course,artists themselves contributed to this myth."Many artists credited their talents to
the presence of some supernatural power."Wholc movements of art have centered on the
supposedly otherworldly nature of art.For example,the Romantic poets believed that art was a
term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth.The search for this ideal led them to
explore both natural and divine themes in their works.
Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic.Reason and logic were the
province of scientists and philosophers,whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists.
The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct.
But in 1704,a major breakthrough occurred.Sir Isaac Newton,mathematician and physicist,
published his study of light,Opticks.One of Newton's major discoveries was on the nature of
color.Using a prism ()Newton found that white light is actually composed of all the colors
of the rainbow.He even provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows.The artistic
community was shocked.A scientist had taken a beautiful and magical experience and reduced it
to the simple refraction of beams of light through the prism of a raindrop.A scientist had ventured
into their sacred territory.
More than a hundred years later,John Keats,one of the most famous Romantic poets,
accused Newton of reducing beauty by"unweaving the rainbow."His colleague,Samuel Taylor
Coleridge,famously remarked that the souls of five-hundred Newtons would be needed to make
one Shakespeare.And yet,from another perspective,Newton did not reduce the beauty of the
rainbow;he enhanced it.In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow,Newton demonstrated
the wonder,creativity,and inspiration of an artist.He also gave the world another opportunity to
experience the sublime(绝妙的东西).Newton's discovery paved the way for the development of
the science of spectroscopy(光谱学),a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light.Now
scientists can look at the stars and know their composition.The sense of wonder this ability
creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same
stars

32.How did the Romantic pocts react to Newton's discovery about light and color?
A.They credited Newton's insights to mystical influcnccs.
B.They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena.
C.They were inspired to integrate more scicntific themes in their poetry.
D.They believed it added a new dimcnsion to the appreciation of beauty.
33.Why does the author mention John Keats'and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's views on Isaac
Newton?
A.To show that Romantic poets objected to scientific progress.
B.To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists.
C.To state that Shakespeare's knowledge of beauty was unmatched.
D.To highlight the impact of scientific discoveries on artistie perception.
34.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.The Interplay of Art and Science
B.Isaac Newton's Influence on Arts
C.The Contrast between Art and Logics
D.The Artistic Interpretation of Science

It probably happened to you:You ate this incredible dessert in Turkey,you tried this fantastic
dish in Spain,and you brought the recipe back home-just to feel the disappointment that what
you cooked at home didn't pass the taste test.
It's likely that groceries have different qualities in different countries.In the case of the
United States and Europe this has very little to do with soil or climate.35 Consumers
in the U.S.have other preferences in groceries than most Europeans.It comes dowr to culture.
Europeans often value quality more than quantity.Of course you will find out-of-season
produce on the shelves of grocery stores as well.36 Europeans especially are willing to
give up short-term gain for a much greater long-term result.
Take,for example,Italians produce dry-cured ham(干腌火腿)only during the waning moon
that follows the full moon and it is practiced to this day.According to old farmer's lore,the meat
could go bad,if it isn't cured by the moon.3
However,Americans belicve in progress and the benefits of technology.It becomes clear why
following tradition doesn't have to be a strong value.Food for U.S.consumers is produced and
第8页共10页
shipped across the country.38 The industrialization of food production results in new
brccds of producc.The population growth calls for higher quantitics.Farmers and growers arc
paid for the amount,not for the flavor.
39 Europcan cultures arc rathcr rcgional,and this mcans food traditions have
remained undamaged in fairly small arcas.Within thesc regions and communities people often
shop locally from regional producers.And they shop more frequently than Americans.Europeans
often go to the local market daily whereas millions of shoppers in the U.S.purchase one or two
weeks'supply of groceries in one single visit to the big box store.
All these consumer choices,based on cultural behaviors.have had a lasting impact on how
our food is grown and what it tastes like.
A.Geography plays another role here.
B Refrigeration makes it possible to store foods longer.
C.However,demand for better quality is greater in their countries.
D.This great interest in culinary (tradition is a cultural feature.
E.The main reason why produce tastes different here and there is choice.
Food provides the world with one of the only ways to universally communicate.
G
Often our culinary preferences have an effect on the vacation destinations we choosc.

Lco has always been the kind of child who looks for close connections.When Leo was in
preschool,he befriended Neve,who was only two.When Neve was not around,instead of finding
a new partner,Leo began to treat Celia.a yoice assistant,as his new friend.
At first,Leo mostly asked Celia factual questions like "How many stars are there in the
Milky Way?"He then turned to the personal questions,"Celia,how old are you?"She responded,
"Age is nothing but a number."He insisted,in the way children do."How old are you?"She
replicd,"I'm not qualificd for a driver's licensc,but it may be morc to do with the fact that I don't
have a body."
As time passed by,Lco began to cngage Celia on morc,let's say,cxistential questions.

that he wasn't getting clsewhcre.In a way,she was likc a diary that talked back.
I wondered if this reliance on technology was hecalthy,but I knew that Leo was far from alone
in sccking comfort in his devices.Although I hopc that I.eo will continue to seck out human
connections,I'm gratcful to Celia for bcing there for my son when he nceded her.And who knows?
