第一节
To inspire students to explore the endless world of
knowledge through literature,our school's English
newspaper recently held a remarkable reading and sharing
event themed“Lifelong Learning”.
The event kicked off with a series of presentations by
students who shared books that had profoundly influenced
their perspectives on leaming.In addition,teachers were
invited to provide guidance on learning effectively and
continuously.The highlight of the event was a guest lecture by
a famous author who shared her personal journey of continuous
leaming and how it had shaped her career and life.
This event not only broadens my understanding of the
importance of lifelong leaming but also arouses a passion
within me to seek knowledge in every aspect of life.
Therefore,I am determined to keep reading to become a
better version of myself.
第二节
"I must get in to see what's happened,"Lisa said to
herself.With a sense of urgency,Lisa worriedly checked
around the house,trying the back door that Marie
sometimes left unlocked.As it creaked open,she called out
for Marie and followed a faint sound to find her unconscious
at the foot of the stairs.Lisa dialed 911 immediately and
stayed by Marie's side,comforting her until help arrived.
Her quick action potentially saved Marie's life,and their
bond grew stronger as Lisa continued to support her through
recovery.
Lisa's quick action not only saved a life but also started a
friendship.As Marie recuperated in the hospital,Lisa visited
regularly,providing companionship and support.Marie's
family,grateful for Lisa's timely intervention,welcomed her
warmly into their lives.This experience underscored the
importance of attentiveness and care within a community,
illustrating how small acts of concem can forge deep
connections that endure beyond the moment of crisis.

Before I knew it,I had only one day left for the project.In a
panic I hastily and quickly gluing together what I pulled out
from our recycle bin,my hands shaking with the weight of
each hasty decision.The finished result looked miserable.
Several of my classmates,including Nate,had created
amazingly detailed constructions.They used materials like
clay,wood and so on and were highly praised by Mr.Smith.
When I saw their models,I felt even more embarrassed
about mine.It was obvious that they had put a lot more time
into the assignment than I had.
That taught me a great lesson.I learnt from that day
the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting
my time.From then on,I tackled things a lot earlier instead
of putting things off until tomorrow.As a result,not only did
I finish my tasks on time,but also I felt better because I
didn't have to panic at the last minute.At the end of the
semester,my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another
occasion.Seeing my change,my parents and my sister were
so proud of me.It dawned on me that getting things done on
time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.

Deforestation-by clear-cutting or wildfires-has massive consequences both on
climate and health.But leaving reforestation to Mother Nature can take decades,
particularly as disastrous wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity.And the
time,cost and labour involved makes traditional methods of tree planting not as practical
as they once were.
Bryce Jones knows how hard it is to replant forests.For four months in 2013,he
worked as a tree planter throughout Canada."There's no technology there,"he says.
"The only way you can automate reforestation is through the air."But it wasn't until
2019 that he hit on the one that he thought had potential:use drones()to fire
specially designed seed pods (into the ground-at 10 times the normal rate and
costing 20-percent less than traditional methods.He proposed the idea to his brother and
Flash Forest was born.His first goal was to plant a billion trees by 2025.
The team took out a loan,bought a drone and used 3D printers at Jones's school to
make casts of the pods.Now,only two and a half years later,the company has a group of
drones with each able to carry several thousand pods per flight.Three operators work in a
英语试卷(八)第2页(共8页)
field,controlling five drones,whose flights take 15 to 20 minutes.Flash Forest's big draw
is its seed pod,which contains everything seedlings (need to promote survival.
And its technology allows them to reach post-burn sites or remote areas that are difficult
for traditional tree planting.
There are challenges every day,Jones says,as they work to improve the
engineering,hardware,software and seed-pod recipes.Then there are the challenges
presented by the climate-this year,record temperatures,record wildfires and drought.
"That was something that was totally out of our control,"he says.
Unlike some traditional forms of reforestation,Flash Forest is focused on
biodiversity.For Jones,the target of planting a billion trees by 2025 is just the
beginning."I have a dream that the company will plant on six continents-everywhere
where our technology is needed.
24.What does Paragraph 1 want to convey?
A.The benefits deforestation can bring.
B.The characteristics of Mother Nature.
B.the approaches to putting out wildfires.
D.The urgency to find a way of reforesting.
25.When was Flash Forest founded?
A.In2013.B.n2019.
C.In2021.
D.In2025.
26.What's the meaning of the underlined word "draw"?
A.Appeal.
B.Distraction.
C.Shortcoming.
D.Painting.
27.What can we infer about Flash Forest from the last paragraph?
A.Its final goal will be achieved in 2025.
B.There is a chance that it will be available globally.
C.Traditional forms of reforestation focuses on biodiversity.
D.It has taken the place of traditional forms of reforestation.
C
In 2020,there were 727 million people aged 65 or above,which is expected to more
than double by 2050.The silver-haired population represent a massive opportunity for
nearly every industry where companies can build a new market for their products and
services while creating social value.
The main consumption patterns of elderly population can be classified into two
categories:health-related consumption and daily consumption.When it comes to health
consumption,seniors are not only concerned about healthcare but also increasingly
emphasizes disease prevention.In relation to this,preventive health services,such as
physical examinations,will have significant room for growth.Evidently,regular physical
examinations require a certain amount of time,economic costs and medical support.
Therefore,the high-income population in big cities can sustain them for a longer period of
time due to their subjective willingness and objective conditions.
Another key section of the elderly market is represented by the application of
medical devices and technology tailored for seniors.One notable area of development is
the adoption of remote monitoring systems.These systems make use of cutting-edge
technology to enable healthcare professionals to remotely monitor the vital signs and
英语试卷(八)第3页(共8页)
health status of elderly individuals,providing real-time feedback and intervention when
necessary.This not only ensures immediate medical attention but also allows older adults
to maintain their independence and age comfortably in their own homes.
Acknowledging the importance of social engagement and mental stimulation in
enhancing the well-being of seniors,the entertainment industry has emerged as a key
component as well.It is centered around offering diverse activities and entertainment
options,such as organized tours,social clubs,arts and crafts workshops and music and
dance performances,which are meant for the unique preferences and needs of older
individuals.They offer a platform for them to connect,share experiences and engage,
creating a supportive environment where seniors can enrich life experiences and apply
their different talents.
The aging population is one of the most important trends in the world,and it's
indeed a powerful force not just socially but economically.

Humans aren't the only animals that move to music.Parrots have been known to do
it.And now rats have been observed bopping their heads in time with the tunes of
Mozart,Lady Gaga,Michael Jackson and others,according to a new paper from the
University of Tokyo.What's more,the rats seems to respond to the same beats that get
humans'feet tapping(轻跺).
The researchers played a sonata by Mozart for lab rats at different variations of the
original speed.Wireless sensors on the rats'bodies tracked their movements.Meanwhile,
20 human participants were involved and listened to the same music through headphones
equipped with motion sensors.
It was observed that the rats'head movements were the most obvious when the music
played at its normal speed,which was around 132bpm (beats per minute).The same was
英语试卷(八)第4页(共8页)
true for human participants.The researchers then changed to some pop songs such as
Lady Gaga's“Born This Way”and Michael Jackson's“Beat It”.As with Mozart's,rats
moved their heads along the rhythm of pop songs,similar to how people do,at about 120
to 140bpm.
准考证号
The study showed that both rats and humans moved their heads along to the beat in
a similar rhythm.The level of head bopping from both humans and rats decreased as the
music sped up.The study suggests that there is something similar about the way human
and rat brains respond to rhythms,but rats do not match their motions to the beat like
班

humans do.Humans can predict the timing of a beat and move predictably to it.
Aniruddh Patel,a psychologist who studies brain response to music,says humans
and parrots respond to beats with big voluntary movements such as head shaking,dancing
or foot tapping.Patel also stresses that this study does not show that rats have the same

emotional associations with music as humans do.Yet he believes it could help reveal how
humans and some other animals developed a sense of rhythm.
32.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Humans as well as other animals can move to music.
B.Rats as well as other animals have the ability to categorize music.
C.Rats can respond to musical rhythms as human beings do.
D.Rats are added to the list of music lover as humans perform.
33.How was the study conducted?
A.By analyzing previous data.
B.By defining a concept.
C.By comparing rats'and humans'responses.
D.By listing various figures.
34.Which can be inferred from the study?
A.Rats were trained to respond to musical rhythms.
B.Humans respond to rhythms more consciously than rats.
C.Human and rat brains respond to rhythms in a similar way.
D.Rats and humans have the emotional associations with music similarly.

A fixed mindset of interest can harm creativity and innovation.If people believe they
are limited to only a few particular interests and,in consequence,do not explore other
areas,they may miss seeing important connections across different dimensions.36
Those who with a growth mindset are also more likely to be creative when solving
problems.
37 In June,we published findings from an intervention that succeeded in that
aim.In two studies involving more than 700 first-year liberal arts undergraduates,we
began by assessing how our participants saw themselves.The majority held strong
interests in the arts,humanities and social sciences.38

We then randomly assigned students to either our intervention or a study skills
module.Our intervention included reading and reflective writing activities that helped
students think about interests and passions as cultivated rather than as simply found and
fixed.39 The study skills module had a similar set of exercises but with an emphasis
on building classic skills,such as time management and active learning.
These students were required to take at least one math and science course during
their first year.That meant we could check how the intervention may have influenced
their perspectives on math and science.
By the end of the year,students who had received the intervention were more
interested in their required math and science courses than those who received the study
skills module-and this boost was particularly apparent among students who initially
reported that they were not a "math-and-science person".40 These students
became more skilled in math and science and grew into interdisciplinary(跨学科的)
scholars.
A.So can a growth mindset of interest be taught?
B.How can a growth mindset of interest be cultivated?
C.Meanwhile,a growth mindset of interest comes with many advantages.
D.Moreover,most reported that they were not a "math-and-science person"
E.They also earned better grades in courses than those receiving the study skills
module.
F.However,a growth mindset of interest can fuel people's further exploration to different
fields.
G.For example,students read an article stating the benefits of viewing interests as
developable.

Most people think that procrastination (is a negative habit.But people
like me who routinely put off doing assignments,are likely to defend our "slower"
approach to getting tasks done.
I'm the only procrastinator in my family.My parents and sister were all born with the
"do it right now"gift.They are always in a rush,as if closely rushed by an invisible
deadline.Personally,I prefer a more relaxed pace.When my parents voiced their concern
about my tendencies,saying"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today,""No
way!"I responded,confidently presenting my research as a defense.It said people
procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project.In these
cases,delaying a decision can be beneficial.This was because our minds continue to
reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them,which could
lead to more creative solutions.My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride.My
method of getting things done was just as good as my sister's...or so I thought.
At school we'd been talking about architecture and design.As part of the final
assessment my teacher Mr.Smith announced an exciting project that each student would
have a month to complete.We were expected to choose our materials,construct a small
building and make use of things we had learned in class.Not only would the winners
receive extra credit,but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the
cafeteria."I have no clue how I could get it done,"my friend Nate sighed in despair.I
didn't say anything.Not because I shared his anxiety-but because I was not nervous
at all.I loved hands-on projects!Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria,I
was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress
everyone.So relaxed was I that I didn't give it a second thought for weeks.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1.Before I knew it,I had only one day left for the project.
Paragraph 2.That taught me a great lesson.
