Passage 1
根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词,使短文意思完整,每空一词。
Involution (内卷) has become a popular word these days. But what does it really m 1 ?
In our d 2 life, we can see involution everywhere. For example, in a school, students study harder and harder. They not only have to finish a lot of homework but also take many other classes after school. They all want to get b 3 grades than others. E 4 is trying to do more and be better, just like in a race where no one wants to fall behind. This is involution.
Another e 5 is in the business world. Many companies make similar products (产品). They try to lower the price and s 6 a lot on advertisements to get more buyers. They compete (竞争) with each other i 7 a very intense (激烈的) way. Workers in these companies may also have to work longer hours to make more products or provide better services.
Involution makes people feel tired and stressed. People seem to have no other choice but to keep up with others. However, we should a 8 think about how to work out this problem. Maybe we can keep an eye on our own interests and do things in a more relaxed way. I 9 of just following others blindly (盲目地), we can find our own path and enjoy our learning and growing. Don’t let involution c 10 our lives but try to make a better world for ourselves.

The capsule didn’t completely (完全地) stop when people got on, s 5 we had to get into it quickly. Then the door of the capsule closed. How amazing! We couldn’t believe o 6 eyes. We took many p 7 of the view and of ourselves. It t 8 us about half an hour for the capsule to go around.
If you are i 9 in going there, I’d like to give you some advice. To enjoy the view, go in the daytime. There are night rides, but you won’t see things c 10 . Sometimes the top of the London Eye can be quite cool even though it’s sunny. So, don’t forget to take a scarf.

We just need to do certain things. We must think about our planet every day. Also, we should r 7 Earth Day every year.
Today, many countries do things in honour of Earth Day. Do you want to do s 8 for Earth Day, too? Here are some things we can do. First, plant new trees. Second, don’t throw cans or paper on the ground. You should pick up garbage that is on the ground. Third, save water. Don’t keep the tap r 9 when you leave.

Sarah often helped out at her dad’s restaurant like washing vegetables. H 1 , today she felt different—she worked as a waitress. She was excited but n 2 . With her heart beating fast, she carefully carried a dish to Table 6. Suddenly, her excitement turned into worry when she noticed Kassy, a popular girl from her school, sitting there with her friends. Feeling a little worried, Sarah quickly h 3 behind the front desk and didn’t want to be seen.
Sarah was an excellent student but she still felt out of place among her rich classmates. She remembered how Kassy often played j 4 on her and worried that others might do the same to her for w 5 at a restaurant. When Sarah’s dad found her hiding, she didn’t know what to s 6 to her father.
Turning back to the kitchen, Sarah felt bad for letting her dad down. To her s 7 , Hannah, one of Kassy’s friends, came over and said that she knew how unfriendly Kassy could be. She also said with a smile: “Doing a part-time job is m 8 . You are great!” Her words gave Sarah a warm feeling and the strength she needed.
Sarah wasn’t worried any more and returned to the dining area and brought the bill to Kassy’s table. When Kassy tried to make fun of her, Sarah and Hannah did a silly “crab dance” and laughed l 9 . As she crossed the dining room, Sarah found she didn’t feel shameful but a bit proud. She u 10 that hard work and kindness were really important.

Passage 6

After being stopped taking part in big swimming races for over four years, China’s Olympic champion (冠军) Sun Yang is back! Even though he is already over 30 years old this year, he is still one of the best s 1 in China.
On Aug. 25, Sun won the men’s 400m freestyle race at the National Summer Swimming Championships in Hefei, Anhui. He finished the race in 3 m 2 and 49. 58 seconds (秒). This high speed was a big win though this time he didn’t swim the f 3 of all his races.
Born in 1991, Sun b 4 famous after winning China’s first Olympic gold medal in men’s swimming at the London 2012. He also won more gold medals at the Rio 2016.
However, in 2020, Sun was given an eight-year ban (禁赛) because he failed to p 5 a doping test (药检), but it was later shortened to four years and three months. This s 6 him from swimming races in the Tokyo and Paris Olympics.
During the ban, Sun kept on training on his own, though without getting s 7 from any professional team. He worked so hard that he didn’t even have a day o 8 from training.
“The past four years were so hard, even harder than being born again, which exactly made me enjoy e 9 race even more,” said Sun after his win. “S 10 on top of the podium (领奖台) once again really made me feel everything paid off.”
Passage 7
What will our world be like if there are no insects? It might sound nice in the b 1 . There would be no bugs or flies in your room. But in fact, this could cause really serious p 2 .
The bad news is that the number of insects keeps d 3 these years. Scientists say it’s m 4 because of the use of pesticides (除害). They destroy the places that insects live in.
What would happen if all insects died out? It’s almost impossible to predict, but the results would be t 5 . We need insects to pollinate crops. They also b 6 down dead plants and animals and turn them into new useful things. We need them to keep the soil h 7 . Without insects, many animals would have n 8 to eat. They would go hungry and die.
The first thing we need to do is to let more people u 9 the importance of the natural world, both for what it does for us and for itself. The b 10 place to start is with our children. We should build their environmental awareness (意识) at an early age.
Passage 8

Do you feel sleepy on rainy days? If the answer is yes, you’re not a 1 . Many people feel the same way. But do you know why?
One of the r 2 is that there’s little sunshine on rainy days. Our brain will have less serotonin (血清素) and more melatonin (褪黑素) if there’s not e 3 sunlight. Serotonin helps us feel good, while melatonin makes us feel sleepy. As a result, we may want to go to s 4 .
The humidity (湿度) of a rainy day is a 5 reason. As it rains, the air becomes wetter than usual. It’s more difficult for our sweat (汗水) to dry in weather like this, so our body has to work h 6 to stay cool. This can make us feel tired.
Moreover, the s 7 of rain, a type of pink noise, will make us feel sleepy too. Like white noise, pink noise includes all the sound frequencies (频率) humans can hear, but it has fewer high frequencies t 8 white noise. This makes pink noise sound softer. Studies show that people’s brain waves (电波) will become fewer when they hear pink noise, so they’ll fall asleep more e 9 .
What can you do if you don’t like that feeling? Well, you can get as much natural light as possible and keep y 10 busy. Also, you can use a machine to make your room dry. In this way, you won’t feel sleepy any more.

When Babu got close to the elephant, the animal o 2 his eyes and rose to his feet. Babu jumped back. The elephant turned around and r 3 down a nearby street. “Come back!” Babu roared, but the elephant k 4 running. Babu thought that the elephant saw his chance to get away from Purna. Purna would be angry.
Babu went straight to Purna’s home to tell him what had happened.
“My e 5 wouldn’t run away,” Puma said. “You’re trying to steal him.”
“No!” Babu said. “I’m not a thief. He ran away because you beat him. I will p 6 you for your elephant.”
“I want my elephant back,” Purna said. “I want the animal or the full price all at once.”
“But that is i 7 ,” Babu said.
The next morning, Babu went to his pottery shop. He could t 8 better when he was sitting at the potter’s wheel. As he spun the wheel with his feet, he shaped a block of clay into a large pot. The soft feel of the wet clay on his hands made him feel calmer.
Even if he found the elephant, Babu wouldn’t r 9 him to the mean master. He had to think of a plan. When the pot was almost finished, Babu got an i 10 . It had to work! If it didn’t, he would go to jail.

What is your impression of Denmark (丹麦)? Many of you may know it as a c 1 of fairy tales because it is the home place of Heinz Christian Andersen. But Denmark was once titled the h 2 country in the world, according to the 2016 World Happiness Report.
Denmark is not the richest or the biggest country. So why do the 5.7 million people of Denmark smile so much?
“We have no worries. And if we do worry, it’s about the w 3 . Will it rain today, remain gray or get cold?” Knur Christensen, a 39-year-old s 4 worker from Copenhagen explained to the Independent.
Denmark also has a series of policies (政策) that benefit its people. For example, the country s 5 parents if they want to be with their children, especially newborn babies. Danish families receive a total of 52 weeks of parental leave (育婴假) w 6 American women only have an average of 10.3 weeks.
The Nordic country is also f 7 for its biking culture. In Denmark’s c 8 , Copenhagen, bikes are used for about 50 percent of its people’s t 9 to school or work. Biking is not only good for reducing pollution. It’s also good for people’s h 10 . Just 30 minutes of biking a day adds an average of one to two years to a person’s life expectancy (预期寿命). Huff Post reported.

When S 4 school finished next morning, the bell began to ring unusually. The villagers arrived, t 5 in whispers about the sad event. But there was no whisper inside, and nobody remembered w 6 the church (教堂) was so full. Aunt Polly entered, followed by Sid and Mary, and then by the Harper family, all dressed in black, and everyone s 7 until the families sat down at the front.
They said something and sang a song. The priest spoke about the three boys in such a way that everyone thought they had made a m 8 to see only badness and problems in them. The people in the church were so moved that they all started c 9 .
There was a slight noise which nobody noticed; a moment later the church door opened; the priest stood still in surprise. First one and then another pair of eyes turned round, and then, almost at once, everyone stood up and looked while the t 10 “dead” boys came walking up the aisle (过道). They hid and listened to their own funeral service!

Thirty years ago, I fell in love with a dog called Cookie. Though (虽然) it was hard for me to add a 1 mouth to feed, I never gave it a second idea.
Cookie could quickly connect seeing my bags spread across the bed with my leaving on a trip. She was also good at s 2 unhappiness with her tail, trying to make me stay.
When I came back home and wrote my stories, she always sat next to my desk and we could have “talks” about where I’d been a 3 what I’d seen. We “talk” with each other as only animals and those who love them can. I often read to her what I’d written. Of course, she didn’t u 4 what I was really writing.
She inspired me to w 5 many stories and became my partner in my travels. In this way, we traveled together. Some readers may think it i 6 to have such a relationship (关系), but dog o 7 like me will know it’s true.

Passage 17

Do you like eating bananas? Of course. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating. H 1 , British scientists say that the fruit may disappear (消失) by 2050.
One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter. collected data (数据) from 27 countries for f 2 study. They found that climate change made growing conditions better in most of these countries. But if it’s too hot, they will stop growing. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect t 3 for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If it keeps r 4 , ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may d 5 out.
A 6 danger to bananas is diseases (疾病). Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings but not seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all. Panama, a t 7 disease, begins from the soil and spreads quite easily. It has killed t 8 of banana plants across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation gets the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again.
As a result, we need to do s 9 to protect banana plants. First, the governments should try their best to support scientists in finding new ways to protect banana plants from diseases. Second, it’s necessary to improve farming practices to make sure banana plants have better growing conditions. For e 10 , using more organic fertilizers(有机肥料) can help keep the soil healthy. Also, we may develop new types of bananas that are more resistant to the changing environment.
We hope that bananas will still be around in the future and continue to be a delicious and popular fruit.
Passage 18
In this modern age, we are constantly hearing about a remarkable (引人注目的) thing called Artificial Intelligence (人工智能), or AI for short. AI is truly c 1 the way we live and it’s very exciting! AI is like a super-smart brain that can do many a 2 things. It can understand and answer our questions, just like a know-it-all friend. For example, when we s 3 for information on the internet, AI helps us find exactly what we need quickly.
AI is making a big difference in schools. It can create personalized learning experiences for each s 4 . It knows which topics a student finds difficult and can offer extra h 5 and practice . This means that students can learn at their own pace (速度) and get the support they need to do well.
H 6 , while AI brings many benefits (好处), there are some important things to think about. As AI becomes more powerful, we need to make sure it is used for good and not to cause harm. We also need to be careful that it doesn’t take away j 7 that people take up (从事).
But don’t worry! If we use AI c 8 and follow some rules, it can be a wonderful tool that makes our lives e 9 and better. It can help us solve big problems like curing diseases and p 10 the environment.
So, as we move forward in this age of AI, let’s learn as much as we can about it.

Involution (内卷) has become a popular word these days. But what does it really m 1 ?
In our d 2 life, we can see involution everywhere. For example, in a school, students study harder and harder. They not only have to finish a lot of homework but also take many other classes after school. They all want to get b 3 grades than others. E 4 is trying to do more and be better, just like in a race where no one wants to fall behind. This is involution.
Another e 5 is in the business world. Many companies make similar products (产品). They try to lower the price and s 6 a lot on advertisements to get more buyers. They compete (竞争) with each other i 7 a very intense (激烈的) way. Workers in these companies may also have to work longer hours to make more products or provide better services.
Involution makes people feel tired and stressed. People seem to have no other choice but to keep up with others. However, we should a 8 think about how to work out this problem. Maybe we can keep an eye on our own interests and do things in a more relaxed way. I 9 of just following others blindly (盲目地), we can find our own path and enjoy our learning and growing. Don’t let involution c 10 our lives but try to make a better world for ourselves.

【导语】本文通过学校、商业领域的例子说明内卷的表现,指出其带来的疲惫与压力,并提出应理性看待、找到自身节奏而非盲目跟风的建议。
1. 句意:但它到底是什么意思?根据首字母“m”及“But what does it really...”可知,此处为“mean”表示“意思是”,助动词“does”后接动词原形,故填mean。

3. 句意:他们都想取得比别人更好的成绩。根据首字母“b”及“...grades than others”可知,此处应用比较级,“better”表示“更好的”,故填better。

Do you feel sleepy on rainy days? If the answer is yes, you’re not a 1 . Many people feel the same way. But do you know why?
One of the r 2 is that there’s little sunshine on rainy days. Our brain will have less serotonin (血清素) and more melatonin (褪黑素) if there’s not e 3 sunlight. Serotonin helps us feel good, while melatonin makes us feel sleepy. As a result, we may want to go to s 4 .
The humidity (湿度) of a rainy day is a 5 reason. As it rains, the air becomes wetter than usual. It’s more difficult for our sweat (汗水) to dry in weather like this, so our body has to work h 6 to stay cool. This can make us feel tired.
Moreover, the s 7 of rain, a type of pink noise, will make us feel sleepy too. Like white noise, pink noise includes all the sound frequencies (频率) humans can hear, but it has fewer high frequencies t 8 white noise. This makes pink noise sound softer. Studies show that people’s brain waves (电波) will become fewer when they hear pink noise, so they’ll fall asleep more e 9 .

Do you like eating bananas? Of course. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating. H 1 , British scientists say that the fruit may disappear (消失) by 2050.
One reason for this is climate (气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter. collected data (数据) from 27 countries for f 2 study. They found that climate change made growing conditions better in most of these countries. But if it’s too hot, they will stop growing. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect t 3 for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If it keeps r 4 , ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may d 5 out.
A 6 danger to bananas is diseases (疾病). Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings but not seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all. Panama, a t 7 disease, begins from the soil and spreads quite easily. It has killed t 8 of banana plants across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation gets the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again.
As a result, we need to do s 9 to protect banana plants. First, the governments should try their best to support scientists in finding new ways to protect banana plants from diseases. Second, it’s necessary to improve farming practices to make sure banana plants have better growing conditions. For e 10 , using more organic fertilizers(有机肥料) can help keep the soil healthy. Also, we may develop new types of bananas that are more resistant to the changing environment.
We hope that bananas will still be around in the future and continue to be a delicious and popular fruit.
