We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
1. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto?
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.
C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids.
2. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing?
A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights.
C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery.
3. What do the last two attractions both show?
A. The mystery of stone caves. B. The power of natural forces.
C. The history of local cultures. D. The steepness of attractive cliffs.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B

As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed (安装) what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏骤停), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.
To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.
“It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa (夏尔巴人) informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment.
During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share his knowledge of CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills.
Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge.
4. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas?
A. To advertise his new defibrillator.
B. To lift climbers’ survival chances.
C. To promote his CPR training company.
D. To test the device in extreme conditions.
5. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival?
A. Sullivan’s effort paid off. B. Climbing mountains was risky.
C. There were too few defibrillators. D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous.
6. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal?
A. He provided CPR training for locals.
B. He inspired people to extend CPR.
C. He presented a training initiative.
D. He installed defibrillators across the country.
7. What does the underlined word “conceives” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Witnesses. B. Announces. C. Imagines. D. Doubts.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】

Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to ageing and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.”
8. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To find new uses of caffeine in medicine. B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing.
C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption. D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
9. What does TOR serve as?
A. A sign of ageing. B. An energy source.
C. A cellular fuel gauge. D. A growth command center.
10. What aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph?
A. Its potential. B. Its characteristics. C. Its disadvantages. D. Its economic benefits.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long
B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways
D Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述新研究以裂殖酵母为模型,发现咖啡因通过激活古老的AMPK细胞能量系统影响衰老,为健康长寿相关研究提供新方向。

推理判断题。根据第一段“But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(但到目前为止,它在我们细胞内如何运作,以及它与营养和应激反应基因及蛋白质网络的确切联系仍然是个谜。在一项针对裂殖酵母(一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)的新研究中,研究人员发现咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老)”可知,新研究的核心目的是弄清咖啡因如何影响细胞衰老。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. (TOR是一种生物开关,它根据可用的食物和能量数量,告诉细胞何时生长)”可知,TOR的作用是调控细胞生长,相当于“生长指挥中心”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines. (它们为未来的研究开辟了令人兴奋的可能性,即我们如何通过饮食、生活方式或新药更直接地发挥这些作用)”可知,John-Patrick强调的是该研究带来的未来研究潜力。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母(一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)的新研究中,研究人员发现咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老)”、第三段“But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.(但在他们最新的研究中,科学家们有了一项惊人发现:咖啡因并非直接作用于这一生长开关。相反,它通过激活另一个名为AMPK的重要系统发挥作用 ——AMPK是一种细胞能量监测器,在酵母和人类中均具有进化保守性)”及全文核心 —— 咖啡因通过激活古老的AMPK系统影响衰老可知,D项“Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch(你早上的咖啡触发了一个古老的长寿开关)”既点明核心物质(咖啡因/咖啡),又体现关键机制(激活古老系统、关联长寿),符合主旨,适合作为标题。故选D项。

In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly.
A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.”
Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robo-nurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer.
This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance (抗拒) to the use of humanoid robots in elderly’ care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”.
Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robo-pets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic robo-seal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost. One such robo-pet is priced at about $5,000.
Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further isolation (孤独) of the elderly. “We must pose the question: Are robots isolating people more, or truly helping them?” he says. He also mentions that the use of robotics raises issues regarding personal data security. Despite these doubts, the expert believes that the development of robo-care is inevitable.
12. What can Nadine do according to the text?
A Cook meals for patients. B. Monitor nurses and doctors.
C Look after patients. D. Do heavy work for the elderly.
13. Why do some people dislike the idea of using humanoid robots in elderly care?
A. Robots are too expensive. B. Robots cannot relieve dementia symptoms.
C. They think robots fail to handle emergencies. D. They disbelieve machines’ caring for loved ones.
14. What can we infer about robo-pets from the text?
A. They have successfully cured dementia in many patients.
B. They are more widely accepted than humanoid robots.
C. The low price makes them accessible to most people.
D. They are only available in Japan at present.
15. What concern does the expert raise about the use of robots in elderly care?
A. Robots may cause patients’ illness to get worse.
B. Robo-pets can replace human carers completely.
C. Humanoid robots may make the elderly’s loneliness increase.
D. The development of humanoid robots in healthcare will stop soon.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了机器人护理的发展现状、应用、优势及潜在问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations.(一个由著名教授领导的团队正在开发一种名为Nadine的机器人。这种机器人可以监测病人的身体和精神状况,在紧急情况下呼救,并进行对话。)”可知,Nadine可以照顾病人。故选C。
【13题详解】

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____16____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. ____17____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
____18____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____19____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____20____
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once in a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.
E. Your progress each day is not significant enough.
F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it.
G. The real challenge lies in these small consistent actions.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. C 19. A 20. F

47. 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。
I have loved street dance since my childhood, and in high school, I took classes that focused on street dance. And this year was going to be the best street dance class yet.
As I was walking excitedly over to the first day of street dance class, I passed one of my fellow dancers from the previous year.
“We have a new dance teacher. Her name is Ms. Barton, and she is strictly ballet.”
Ballet? Well, this ought to be interesting.
I had never taken ballet in my life. I admitted I was a bit nervous, but also up for the challenge. I mean, how hard could it be, right?
As I entered the classroom, all the girls were in their black leotards(紧身连衣裤) and ballet slippers. I must have missed the notice of the dress requirement. I changed into the clothing that I prepared for street dance. It would have to do for now.
We all stood as Ms. Barton ran us through basic ballet steps. She was just how I had imagined a ballet teacher would be: excellent posture with a strict attitude.
Along with my classmates, I began my grand plie (全蹲), with one hand on the barre (扶手杠) and the other motioning out to the side, slowly bending down with my knees. But Ms Barton gave me a stare.
“What is your name?” she asked.
“Sarah,” I responded with a smile.
“Class, I would like everyone to watch Sarah do a grand plie.” She motioned for me to continue.
“Wow, she must think I’m great to ask me to demonstrate in front of the class,” I thought, hiding my excitement. I slowly got into position and then performed a grand plie.
Complete silence. “Now, class, this is a prime example of what not to do. After class, I will help her perform the grand plie...”Ms. Barton said.
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。
A wave of pure embarrassment came over me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After class, Ms. Barton asked me to stay.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
A wave of pure embarrassment came over me. My face burned as all eyes turned to me, and I wanted to sink into the floor. I clutched the barre tightly, my fingers white with tension, and stared at my sneakers—so different from the neat ballet slippers around me. I’d thought I was doing fine, but Ms. Barton’s words felt like a cold shower. My classmates’ whispers were faint but sharp, and I fought back the urge to run out. I forced myself to stand straight, though my knees felt weak, and nodded at Ms. Barton, determined not to let this ruin my love for dance.
After class, Ms. Barton asked me to stay. I hung my head, bracing for more criticism, but her tone softened. “Sarah, I didn’t mean to embarrass you,” she said, stepping closer. She pointed to my knees: “Your legs weren’t turned out, and you bent too quickly—ballet needs control.” She demonstrated the grand plie slowly, her movements graceful and precise. I followed her guidance, feeling the difference as my muscles adjusted. “Street dance is about energy, but ballet builds the foundation,” she smiled. “Wear proper attire next time, and keep practicing—you have potential.” I left the classroom with a new resolve, excited to blend my passion with this new skill.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述Sarah自幼热爱街舞,高中也选修街舞课,对今年的课程满怀期待。开学第一天,她得知新老师Ms. Barton专攻芭蕾,自己还错过了着装要求,穿街舞服装上课。在学习芭蕾全蹲动作时,她误以为老师让自己示范是认可,结果却被当众指出是反面例子,老师还表示课后会单独辅导她。
【详解】1.段落续写:

We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
1. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto?
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.
C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids.
2. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing?
A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights.
C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery.
3. What do the last two attractions both show?
A. The mystery of stone caves. B. The power of natural forces.
C The history of local cultures. D. The steepness of attractive cliffs.

As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed (安装) what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏骤停), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.
To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.
“It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa (夏尔巴人) informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment.
During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share his knowledge of CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills.
Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge.
4. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas?
A. To advertise his new defibrillator.
B. To lift climbers’ survival chances.
C. To promote his CPR training company.
D. To test the device in extreme conditions.
5. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival?
A. Sullivan’s effort paid off. B. Climbing mountains was risky.
C. There were too few defibrillators. D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous.
6. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal?
A. He provided CPR training for locals.
B. He inspired people to extend CPR.
C. He presented a training initiative.
D. He installed defibrillators across the country.
7. What does the underlined word “conceives” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Witnesses. B. Announces. C. Imagines. D. Doubts.
C
Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to ageing and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.”
8. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To find new uses of caffeine in medicine. B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing.
C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption. D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
9. What does TOR serve as?
A. A sign of ageing. B. An energy source.
C. A cellular fuel gauge. D. A growth command center.
10. What aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph?
A. Its potential. B. Its characteristics. C. Its disadvantages. D. Its economic benefits.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long
B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells
C The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways
D. Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch
D
In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly.
A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.”
Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robo-nurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer.
This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance (抗拒) to the use of humanoid robots in elderly’ care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”.
Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robo-pets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic robo-seal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost. One such robo-pet is priced at about $5,000.
Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further isolation (孤独) of the elderly. “We must pose the question: Are robots isolating people more, or truly helping them?” he says. He also mentions that the use of robotics raises issues regarding personal data security. Despite these doubts, the expert believes that the development of robo-care is inevitable.

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____16____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. ____17____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
____18____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____19____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____20____
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once in a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.

47. 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。
I have loved street dance since my childhood, and in high school, I took classes that focused on street dance. And this year was going to be the best street dance class yet.
As I was walking excitedly over to the first day of street dance class, I passed one of my fellow dancers from the previous year.
“We have a new dance teacher. Her name is Ms. Barton, and she is strictly ballet.”
Ballet? Well, this ought to be interesting.
I had never taken ballet in my life. I admitted I was a bit nervous, but also up for the challenge. I mean, how hard could it be, right?
As I entered the classroom, all the girls were in their black leotards(紧身连衣裤) and ballet slippers. I must have missed the notice of the dress requirement. I changed into the clothing that I prepared for street dance. It would have to do for now.
We all stood as Ms. Barton ran us through basic ballet steps. She was just how I had imagined a ballet teacher would be: excellent posture with a strict attitude.
Along with my classmates, I began my grand plie (全蹲), with one hand on the barre (扶手杠) and the other motioning out to the side, slowly bending down with my knees. But Ms Barton gave me a stare.
“What is your name?” she asked.
“Sarah,” I responded with a smile.
“Class, I would like everyone to watch Sarah do a grand plie.” She motioned for me to continue.
“Wow, she must think I’m great to ask me to demonstrate in front of the class,” I thought, hiding my excitement. I slowly got into position and then performed a grand plie.
Complete silence. “Now, class, this is a prime example of what not to do. After class, I will help her perform the grand plie...”Ms. Barton said.
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。
A wave of pure embarrassment came over me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After class, Ms. Barton asked me to stay.
