Once summer ended, everyone went inside to play ice hockey. I’d been on the ice only a couple of times when I was much younger. When I’d fallen and broken my wrist during my second lesson, I’d decided never to put on ice skates again. Ben, the friend I made in the new city, volunteered to teach me to skate. Even though he was very patient, I was so embarrassed by my clumsiness that I began to make up excuses for not skating. One day I discovered a faster route home. It took me past a large frozen pond. I noticed a woman teaching a young girl to skate. The girl was attempting to jump and spin in the air. Over and over, she pushed off the ground with the toe of her skate. And over and over, she landed hard on the ice. After I had been watching the girl practice for about a week, one afternoon she suddenly lifted off the ground, spun in the air, and landed on her feet! The next day I bought myself some brand new skates. Every day on the way home I stopped at the pond and wobbled onto the ice, right next to the girl who had landed her jump. As she perfected her twists and tricks, I taught myself to glide and turn. It was hard being a beginner, and when I fell I had to fight the urge to simply give up. Instead, every time I went down, I just picked myself up and started over again. Soon I was able to keep my balance and skate more confidently. In just a few weeks, I was actually ready to practice the speed skating, fast stops, and quick turns needed for ice hockey. When I was finally ready to show Ben my newfound skating ability, he told me I should join the local hockey league. I tried out and was chosen for a team. By the end of the season, I was part of a winning team. 24. What can we learn about the author? A. He learned skating from the girl. B. He preferred ice hockey to skating. C. He had once given up learning skating. D. He moved to a new city without summer. 25. Why did the author mention the girl on the pond? A. To prove the girl was skillful. B. To suggest the girl inspired him. C. To show the girl was a quick learner. D. To explain how he came across the girl 26. According to the last paragraph, the author’s training was ________. A. easy and basic B. boring and tiring C. tough but rewarding D. strict but interesting 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. One is never too old to learn. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Success is not always under control. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者小时候因摔断手腕放弃滑冰，搬到新城市后受到一个坚持不懈练习滑冰的小女孩的鼓舞，重新开始练习，最终克服困难、学会滑冰并加入冰球队，告诉我们活到老学到老、坚持就能进步的道理。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I’d fallen and broken my wrist during my second lesson, I’d decided never to put on ice skates again (当我在第二节课上摔倒摔断手腕时，我决定再也不穿冰鞋了)”可知，作者曾经放弃过学习滑冰。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第五段“After I had been watching the girl practice for about a week, one afternoon she suddenly lifted off the ground, spun in the air, and landed on her feet!(在我观察这个女孩练习了大约一周后，一天下午，她突然从地上起飞，在空中旋转，然后双脚着地！)”和第六段“The next day I bought myself some brand new skates.(第二天，我给自己买了一些全新的溜冰鞋。)”可知，作者从曾经放弃学习滑冰，到再重新开始学习，是因为看到了小女孩在经历了无数次的摔倒后，一周后突然腾空而起，成功了，池塘上的小女孩鼓励了作者。作者提到池塘上的小女孩是想表明她激励了他。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中最后一段内容“It was hard being a beginner, and when I fell I had to fight the urge to simply give up. Instead, every time I went down, I just picked myself up and started over again. Soon I was able to keep my balance and skate more confidently(作为初学者很难，摔倒时我必须克服放弃的冲动。相反，每次摔倒我都爬起来重新开始。很快我就能保持平衡，滑得更自信了)”以及“I tried out and was chosen for a team. By the end of the season, I was part of a winning team (我参加选拔并入选了一支队伍。赛季结束时，我成为了一支获胜队伍的一员)”可知，作者的训练很艰难，但最终收获很大。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者小时候因滑冰摔倒摔断手腕而彻底放弃滑冰，长大后搬到新城市，受到池塘边坚持不懈练习滑冰的小女孩鼓舞，克服内心恐惧重新开始学习。他历经多次摔倒仍坚持不放弃，最终学会滑冰并加入冰球队，收获成功。这一过程完美诠释了“活到老学到老”的道理——无论年龄大小、曾遭遇何种挫折，只要有勇气重新开始、坚持不懈，就能有所收获。A选项“条条大路通罗马”强调达成目标的方法多样，C选项“善有善报”侧重善良有回报，D选项“成功不总是可控的”与文章积极理念相悖，均不符合主旨。故选B。 C Once small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot. Obadiah Kisaingu, a farmer in Masii, estimates 40% of the village’s mango crop is lost to spoilage. But a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers like Kisaingu to access far-off, larger markets. More time for fresh produce on grocers' shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, who has a Ph. D in materials science, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land hundreds of millions of years ago, they developed cutin, a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in. The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you'll still find it across the plant kingdom. Not that it's exactly the same solution across the board: An orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. SmartTech’s challenge was first identifying the key components of cutin. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn't require refrigeration. SmartTech traveled a long road to get here. It was six years from launch before products applied with the substance were in stores. SmartTech-treated fruits and vegetables are already in large grocery chains in Europe and the U. S. and the company recently gained regulatory approval in several less developed countries in South America. “SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge. 28. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to _______________. A. stress their need for preserving produce B. show their difficulty in harvesting crops C evaluate their loss caused by slow transport D. help express their wish to reach larger markets 29. What can we learn about SmartTech's product? A. It is financially supported by FAO. B. It is intended to replace refrigeration. C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin. D. It is based on plants’ own defence system. 30. What does James Rogers expect? A. To profit farmers. B. To earn more money. C. To produce more food. D. To expand grocery chains. 31. The main purpose of the passage is to _______________. A. prove a theory B. promote a product C. introduce a company D. present a technology 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一个公司研发出了一种能使农产品保存的更好，从而为农民谋利的技术。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章第二段“Obadiah Kisaingu, a farmer in Masii, estimates 40% of the village's mango crop is lost to spoilage. But a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers like Kisaingu to access far-off, larger markets.(Masii的农民Obadiah Kisaingu估计，该村40%的芒果作物因腐败而损失。但一种简单的涂层可以改变这种状况。一家名为SmartTech的公司发明了一种产品，使新鲜农产品的保质期延长了一倍，使Kisaingu这样的农民能够获得遥远的食物，更大的市场)”可知，作物易腐烂，作者提到肯尼亚的小农场主是为了强调他们保存农产品的需要。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章第三段“Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land hundreds of millions of years ago, they developed cutin, a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.(幸运的是，研究人员发现，亿万年前，当植物从水跃到陆地时，它们产生了角质，一种由脂肪酸组成的屏障，这些脂肪酸连接在一起形成植物周围的密封，帮助保持水分)”可知，SmartTech的产品建立在植物自身防御系统的基础上。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段““SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” (“SmartTech有巨大的潜力将非洲的贫困农民转变为商业农民，”Rogers说，“这意味着口袋里有更多的钱，肚子里有更多的食物。”)”可知，James Rogers希望为农民谋利。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了一种能使农产品保存的更好，从而为农民谋利的技术。由此推知，这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一项技术。故选D项。 D Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding. Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.” Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike. As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy. Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says. “You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.” 32. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to . A. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety B. stress the importance of communication C. analyze the cause of troubled relationships D. introduce the increasing use of cell phones 33. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety. B. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles. C. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety. D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts. 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A texting schedule: The final way out B. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions C. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses D. A new perspective: How much texting is too much 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了手机带来的信息焦虑的危害及如何缓解这种焦虑。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. (手机信息焦虑确实存在，并且比你想象的普遍)”可知，信息焦虑是一件普遍的事情。根据第二段中的“The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. (2022年，人均每天查看手机262次，而2016年的频率只有80次。很多人应接不暇，最终有意或无意地选择不回复亲友)”可知，人们对手机的依赖程度越来越高，导致更大程度的焦虑，并选择开始无视手机信息。由此推知，第二段的目的是为了更具体的说明手机信息焦虑的程度。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词组上文“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate.(Aguirre表示，这种焦虑会体现在身体的反应中，胸部紧绷，紧张或是心率加快)”说明这种焦虑会导致紧张的情绪。由此推知，划线词组on edge是“紧张的”意思。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles.(如果你和经常联系的人有着不同的发消息习惯，可以与他们建立一个消息时间表，这是减轻压力的途径之一)”可知，制定一个消息时间表有助于减轻压力。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. (Aguirre表示，这种焦虑会体现在身体的反应中，胸部紧绷，紧张或是心率加快)”及第五段第一句“As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. (信息焦虑不仅会对个人产生影响，也会给你与亲友的关系带来负面影响)”可知，信息焦虑有很多弊端；最后两段中的“Establishing a texting schedule (建立消息时间表)”，“limiting the amount of time(限制时间)”和“You can give yourself a pep talk(给自己打气)”等则给出了具体的解决方法。由此可知，本篇主要说明的是信息焦虑带来的问题及解决办法。Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions(信息焦虑：问题和解决方案)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is your recovery rate?

Briefly, the longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on your actions, and the less able you are to perform to your personal best. ___36___ You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and, no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system (呼吸系统) recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to calm, the healthier you will be. ___37___ They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance. Similarly, imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. ___38___ You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a full stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one. Although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability. So, it is unnecessary to live your life in the past. ___39___ Thoughts of the past shouldn’t be allowed to reduce your personal best. Being present is a gateway to recover quickly. ___40___ Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed, look at your progress. When you are lying in bed, you shouldn’t blame yourself for having done this wrong or not having done that better, but look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. In this way, you are taking control of your life and achieve the aim: reduce the time spent in recovery. A. You’re undertaking real changes here. B. Remember: Rome wasn’t built in a day. C. Here are some cases where you can learn about it. D. Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability. E. Instead of the past, it is the present that you have to focus on. F. The best example of this behavior is found with professional sportspeople. G. It’s said that the average time for sportspeople to win the game is 30 minutes. 【答案】36. C 37. F 38. D 39. E 40. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了什么是恢复速度、恢复速度快的好处是什么以及如何提高恢复速度。 【36题详解】 根据上文“What is your recovery rate? How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you? (你的恢复率是多少？你需要多长时间才能从令你不安的行为和表现中恢复过来？)”可知，本文讨论的是你需要多长时间才能从令你不安的行为和表现中恢复过来的问题。根据下文“Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to calm, the healthier you will be. (同样地，你越快放下让你烦恼的事情，你就越快恢复平静，你就会越健康。)”可知，下文是对什么是恢复速度的问题的具体解释。C项意为“下面是一些你可以从中了解它的情况。”选项中的it代指上文提到的recovery rate，且能够引起下文对恢复速度问题的具体解释。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据下文“They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance. (他们知道，越快忘记一件事或一个错过的机会，然后继续比赛，他们的表现就越好。)”可知，本段是以运动员为例，解释恢复速度的问题。F项意为“这种行为最好的例子可以在职业运动员身上体现。”选项中的sportspeople和下文的get on with the game相呼应，能够引起下文，说明了对于运动员来说，恢复速度越快，在赛场上的表现越好。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Similarly, imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. (相似地，想象你自己是舞台上表演戏剧的演员。)”可知，本段是以演员为例，解释恢复速度的问题。D项意为“你的目标是尽你所能扮演好你的角色。”选项中的play your part和上文的an actor in a play相呼应，能够承接上文，说明了对于演员来说，演好自己的角色和说好每一句台词是重要的，而不要一直纠结于自己之前表演的好坏。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“So, it is unnecessary to live your life in the past. (所以，没有必要活在过去。)”可知，本段讲述的是我们不应该活在过去。E项意为“你必须关注的是现在，而不是过去。”选项中的the present和上文的the past形成对照关系，告诉我们应该关注现在的生活，而不是一直纠结于过去的问题。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed, look at your progress. (每天反思你的恢复速度。每天睡觉前，看看自己的进步。)”可知，本段讲述的是加快我们的恢复速度是需要每天努力的。B项意为“记住：罗马不是一天建成的。”选项中的“罗马不是一天建成的”和下文内容相呼应，告诉我们恢复速度是需要一点点提高的。故选B。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，满分32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Is it possible to improve your brain function? The answer is “yes”. Information in your brain is collected, stored and recalled by neural pathways. These pathways are responsible for your abilities to solve problems, remember familiar faces and tasks, without paying a ton of efforts. Millions of these neural pathways begin developing from the time when you are growing into a baby. To keep our memory healthy, we need to create new pathways continually. As we age, our lifestyles often change, stopping those pathways from being developed. Two frequent changes are a decrease in exercise and less attention to our diet, which have a negative effect on our brain and memory. Our brain requires consistent stimulation, regardless of our age, and looking for ways to excite the production of new pathways is critical. Just like your physical muscles need to be used in different ways to make them stronger, our brain needs change to help challenge its abilities. One simple way to stimulate the production of new pathways is trying something new. Challenge your brain with puzzles, a new language or learning how to play an instrument. Anything different and new can stimulate your brain and memory. The best activities are the ones outside of your comfort zone. They push you as you develop new neural pathways. The effort involved in learning and committing to memory a new skill, with new terms and language, is a great way to exercise your brain. Another way to stimulate the production of new pathways is doing exercise. When you exercise your body, you are also working out your mind, because regular activity helps to improve the chemicals in your brain and to protect brain cells. 41. According to the passage, what can negatively affect our brain and memory? 42. Why are the best activities the ones outside of your comfort zone? 43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The two ways mentioned in the passage to help create new pathways are trying something new and exercising your brain by challenging your brain with different tasks. 44. What else can you do to improve your brain function? (In about 40 words) 【答案】41. A decrease in exercise and less attention to the diet. 42. Because they can stimulate one’s brain and memory to develop new neutral pathways. 43. The two ways mentioned in the passage to help create new pathways are trying something new and exercising your brain by challenging your brain with different tasks. Because the other way mentioned in the passage to stimulate the production of new pathways is doing exercise。 44. To improve brain function, we should pay more attention to the diet. And we should get enough mental exercise like reading and doing math. In addition, mediation is a good way to improve memory and learning. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出大脑的功能是可以主动提升的，并介绍了两种促进神经通路形成、提升大脑功能的方法。 41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Two frequent changes are a decrease in exercise and less attention to our diet, which have a negative effect on our brain and memory.(两种常见的改变有，体育锻炼的减少和对自身饮食的不加注意，它们对我们的大脑和记忆力都有着消极的影响)”可知，体育锻炼减少和不注意自身饮食会对大脑和记忆力产生负面影响。故答案为A decrease in exercise and less attention to the diet。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The best activities are the ones outside of your comfort zone. They push you as you develop new neural pathways. The effort involved in learning and committing to memory a new skill, with new terms and language, is a great way to exercise your brain.(最好的活动是那些舒适区之外的活动。它们会促使你发展新的神经通路。那些用于学习和致力于记住一项新技能、新术语或是语言所付出的努力，是锻炼大脑的极佳方式)”可知，舒适区之外的活动，也就是新奇的活动和经历可以激励大脑和记忆力，使人发展出新的神经通路，因此是最好的活动。故答案为Because they can stimulate one’s brain and memory to develop new neutral pathways。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One simple way to stimulate the production of new pathways is trying something new.(一种简单的刺激新通路形成的方式是，尝试新鲜的事物)”和第七段中“Another way to stimulate the production of new pathways is doing exercise.(另一个刺激新通路形成的方式是体育锻炼)”可知，文中提到的两种促进新的神经通路形成的方式分别是尝试新鲜事物和增加体育锻炼，即所给句子中“exercising your brain by challenging your brain with different tasks”部分有误，应画线，故答案（所述理由）为The two ways mentioned in the passage to help create new pathways are trying something new and exercising your brain by challenging your brain with different tasks. Because the other way mentioned in the passage to stimulate the production of new pathways is doing exercise。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“Two frequent changes are a decrease in exercise and less attention to our diet, which have a negative effect on our brain and memory.( 两种常见的改变有，体育锻炼的减少和对自身饮食的不加注意，它们对我们的大脑和记忆力都有着消极的影响)”可知，不注意自身饮食会阻碍新的神经通路形成，因此要避免这种行为，此外根据文中已经提到的提高大脑功能的方法还可联想到，适当地进行一些头脑训练，比如阅读、做数学题、练习冥想等。故答案为To improve brain function, we should pay more attention to the diet. And we should get enough mental exercise like reading and doing math. In addition, mediation is a good way to improve memory and learning。 第二节 作文（20分） 45. 假设你是红星中学高二学生会生席李华，你们学校将要举办英语戏剧大赛（English Drama Contest），请你给外教Jim写一封邮件，邀请他担任此次比赛评委，内容包括： 1、介绍活动安排，评委职责。 2、其他相关事项。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear Jim, I’m Li Hua, chairman of the Student Council.

A. purchase the magazine on the App Store B. be informed of the latest news in humanity C. cancel the order within 14 days of its purchase D. get a full refund if they find it cheaper elsewhere B My family moved to St. Paul, Minnesota last year, where the average winter temperature is around 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Once summer ended, everyone went inside to play ice hockey. I’d been on the ice only a couple of times when I was much younger. When I’d fallen and broken my wrist during my second lesson, I’d decided never to put on ice skates again. Ben, the friend I made in the new city, volunteered to teach me to skate. Even though he was very patient, I was so embarrassed by my clumsiness that I began to make up excuses for not skating. One day I discovered a faster route home. It took me past a large frozen pond. I noticed a woman teaching a young girl to skate. The girl was attempting to jump and spin in the air. Over and over, she pushed off the ground with the toe of her skate. And over and over, she landed hard on the ice. After I had been watching the girl practice for about a week one afternoon she suddenly lifted off the ground, spun in the air, and landed on her feet! The next day I bought myself some brand new skates. Every day on the way home I stopped at the pond and wobbled onto the ice, right next to the girl who had landed her jump. As she perfected her twists and tricks, I taught myself to glide and turn. It was hard being a beginner, and when I fell I had to fight the urge to simply give up. Instead, every time I went down, I just picked myself up and started over again. Soon I was able to keep my balance and skate more confidently. In just a few weeks, I was actually ready to practice the speed skating, fast stops, and quick turns needed for ice hockey. When I was finally ready to show Ben my newfound skating ability, he told me I should join the local hockey league. I tried out and was chosen for a team. By the end of the season, I was part of a winning team. 24. What can we learn about the author? A. He learned skating from the girl. B. He preferred ice hockey to skating. C. He had once given up learning skating. D. He moved to a new city without summer. 25. Why did the author mention the girl on the pond? A. To prove the girl was skillful. B. To suggest the girl inspired him. C. To show the girl was a quick learner. D. To explain how he came across the girl 26. According to the last paragraph, the author’s training was ________. A. easy and basic B. boring and tiring C. tough but rewarding D. strict but interesting 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. One is never too old to learn. C. One good turn deserves another. D. Success is not always under control. C Once small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot. Obadiah Kisaingu, a farmer in Masii, estimates 40% of the village’s mango crop is lost to spoilage. But a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers like Kisaingu to access far-off, larger markets. More time for fresh produce on grocers' shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, who has a Ph. D in materials science, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land hundreds of millions of years ago, they developed cutin, a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in. The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you'll still find it across the plant kingdom. Not that it's exactly the same solution across the board: An orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. SmartTech’s challenge was first identifying the key components of cutin. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn't require refrigeration. SmartTech traveled a long road to get here. It was six years from launch before products applied with the substance were in stores. SmartTech-treated fruits and vegetables are already in large grocery chains in Europe and the U. S. and the company recently gained regulatory approval in several less developed countries in South America. “SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge. 28. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to _______________. A. stress their need for preserving produce B. show their difficulty in harvesting crops C. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport D help express their wish to reach larger markets 29. What can we learn about SmartTech's product? A. It is financially supported by FAO. B. It is intended to replace refrigeration. C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin. D. It is based on plants’ own defence system. 30. What does James Rogers expect? A. To profit farmers. B. To earn more money. C. To produce more food. D. To expand grocery chains. 31. The main purpose of the passage is to _______________. A. prove a theory B. promote a product C. introduce a company D. present a technology D Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding. Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.” Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike. As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy. Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says. “You can give yourself a pep talk tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.” 32. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to . A. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety B. stress the importance of communication C. analyze the cause of troubled relationships D. introduce the increasing use of cell phones 33. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety. B. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles. C. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety. D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts. 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A texting schedule: The final way out B. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions C. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses D A new perspective: How much texting is too much 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is your recovery rate?
