Annually, five students are selected for one year of service, each representing a different geographic region of the country. The Program believes in the power of youth voices to create meaningful changes, and supports them in being heard. HOW TO APPLY The first step to becoming a National Student Poet is submitting poetry to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. High school students who receive a Gold National Medal in poetry can apply for the National Student Poets Program. IN THE COMMUNITY Each year, National Student Poets act as youth poetry ambassadors, bringing poetry to their communities through individual service projects, April Poetry Month readings, and a variety of other opportunities, such as national poetry conferences and festivals. As part of their Year of Service, each National Student Poet creates a community service project, letting more people in their regions know about the Program and making them concerned with issues and themes that hold special significance for the Poet. 1. How often are National Student Poets selected? A. Once a year. B. Twice a year. C. Every two years. D. Every five years. 2. What kind of high school students can possibly become a National Student Poet? A. Those who want to learn about poetry. B. Those who won a national poetry contest. C. Those who promote poetry in their regions. D. Those who act as youth poetry ambassadors. 3. Where do the National Student Poets work for the Program? A. In their schools. B. In their communities. C. All over the world. D. All over the country. B A year after I left college, I was given the opportunity to host the 6 o'clock news in Baltimore. The whole goal in the media at the time I was coming up was try to move to larger markets, so getting the job at 22 was such a big deal. And I was so proud，because I was finally going to have my chance to be like Barbara Walters, who had been my idol since the start of my TV career. I was 22 in 1976, making $22,000 a year, it didn’t feel right yet. The first sign was when they tried to change my name. The news director said to me at the time, “Nobody’s going to remember Oprah. So, we want to change your name. We’ve come up with a name we think that people will remember and people will like. It’s a friendly name: Suzie.” I grew up not loving the name, but once I was asked to change it, I thought, well, it is my name and do I look like a Suzie to you? I thought, no, it doesn’t feel right. I’m not going to change my name. And whether people remember it or not, that’s OK. And then they said they didn’t like the way I looked, so they sent me to a salon where they gave me a perm (烫发). After a few days all my hair fell out and I had to shave my head. At last, they really didn’t like the way I looked, because I was black and bald and sitting on TV wasn’t a pretty picture. But even worse than being bald, I really hated being sent to report on other people’s tragedies as a part of my daily duty. And after eight months, I lost that job. They said I was too emotional. But since they didn’t want to pay out the contract, they put me on a talk show. And the moment I sat down on that show, the moment I felt like I’d come home. I realized that TV could be more than just a playground, but a platform for helping other people lift their lives. And the moment I sat down, doing that talk show, it felt like breathing. And that’s where everything that followed for me began. 4. What can we infer from paragraph1? A. The writer’s aim after graduation was to leave Baltimore. B.

C Recent studies indicate that both animals and plants possess the ability to swiftly adapt to challenging environmental conditions to ensure their survival. A study published in the journal Trends in Plant Science explores the rapid adaptation processes of plants in response to climate change and how these adaptive traits are inherited by their offspring (后代). Plants are encountering more environmental challenges than ever. For instance, in numerous regions, the impact of climate change is leading to shorter winter seasons, and plants are adapting accordingly. “Many plants require a minimum period of cold in order to set up their environmental clock to define their flowering time,” says Martinelli, a plant geneticist at the University of Florence. “As cold seasons shorten, plants have adapted to require shorter periods of cold to delay flowering. These processes allow plants to avoid flowering in periods when they have fewer opportunities to reproduce.” Since plants lack neural systems, their memory functions rely entirely on cellular, molecular (分子的), and biochemical networks. These networks make up what the researchers call somatic memory (体细胞记忆). “It allows plants to recognize the occurrence of a previous environmental condition and to react accordingly,” says Martinelli. These somatic memories can then be transmitted to the plants’ offspring through epigenetics (表现遗传). “Several examples demonstrate the existence of molecular processes modulating plant memory to environmental stresses and affecting the adaptation of offspring to these stresses,” says Martinelli. Moving forward, Martinelli aims to gain deeper insights into the specific genes that are being inherited. “We are particularly interested in decoding the epigenetic code without changes in DNA sequence (序列),” he says. “This is especially important when we consider the rapid climate change, we observe today that every living organism, including plants, needs to quickly adapt to survive.” 8. How have plants adjusted to shortened cold seasons? A. They have shortened their flowering time. B. They have got more chances to reproduce. C. They have avoided flowering in cold seasons. D. They have adjusted their environmental clock. 9. What can we learn about somatic memory? A. It is completely dependent on neural networks. B. It can enhance the survival of the plants’ offspring. C. It can help relieve environmental stresses. D. It disturbs the plants’ biochemical networks 10. What does the underlined word “modulating” mean in paragraph 4? A Adapting. B. Valuing. C. Recording. D. Sharing. 11. What’s the main idea conveyed in the text? A. Plants are smart about flowering time. B. Plants are also capable of adapting to climate change. C. Environmental pressures challenge plants. D. The secrets of plant genes are to be uncovered. D If you could time travel, would you visit the past or the future? You could find your ancestors, descendants, or experience life when dinosaurs wandered in your back garden. It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible. Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space, time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are. For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth! So, if you wanted to travel to the future, you would need to move close to the speed of light. Then, while centuries pass on Earth, you’d experience a relatively short amount of time and could hypothetically (假设地) return home, where it would be the future! Travelling backwards in time seems much more difficult. Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time. The problem is that there is no evidence that wormholes exist. “It’s been shown mathematically that they can exist, but whether they exist physically is something else,” says Emma Osborne, an astrophysicist at the University of York. Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly. For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it. 12. Why does the writer mention Einstein’s theory of relativity? A. To explain how time travel might work. B. To stress the importance of time travel. C. To describe Einstein’s contributions to science. D. To encourage us to work out the theory. 13. Why do astronauts age more slowly than those on earth? A. Time flows at the same speed across the universe. B. Moving faster slows the passage of time. C. Speed and space are closely connected. D. The speed of light prevents their aging. 14 Why does travelling backwards in time seem much more difficult? A. Wormholes move faster than the speed of light. B. Scientists have not studied time travel to the past. C. Wormholes lack scientific evidence of existence. D. The speed of light only allows forward movement in time. 15. What is the author’s attitude regarding the possibility of time travel? A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves.

After six hours of fishing, John Franklin and his sister Jane were ready to call it a day. It was 7 pm. The summer sun was setting, and the fishes had stopped biting. But Jane’s 12-year-old son Conrad was having so much fun that he begged “Let’s do just one more run,” Since the mild weather was holding out, why not? John turned the boat around and headed back. Yet, you never knew. They hadn’t even cast their lines when the wind picked up suddenly. Rough waves began battling against the little boat. “Check your life jackets and hold the boat!” John shouted, As Jane and her son were on the point of screaming, two big waves rolled over, one right after the other. Within a few seconds, the boat tipped(倾斜). Backward and turned over, throwing three of them into the water. Out of the worst, the luckiest thing was that they had life jackets on and the boat didn’t sink immediately. Everyone grabbed onto it. “Let’s get back in the boat, Mommy,” Conrad cried, trembling with fear. “Don’t panic. People know we’re out here,” Jane comforted him. “They’ll send help soon.” Treading(踩) the water, the adults exchanged worried looks. They were floating in the middle of nowhere. “I knew we were in a tight spot,” said John, a third-generation commercial fisherman who, like Jane, had been raised on the bay. When a strong wind blew through about half an hour with no sign of dying down, they had to make some decisions. It had been a perfect July day, with the water at a temperate 20 degrees centigrade, but everyone was cold by 9 pm. If they weren’t rescued soon, they might not survive the night, John recognized, but the closest shoreline was about three miles away, starred by only a few glowing house lights. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了植物为适应环境变化所展现出的能力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Many plants require a minimum period of cold in order to set up their environmental clock to define their flowering time,” says Martinelli, a plant geneticist at the University of Florence. “As cold seasons shorten, plants have adapted to require shorter periods of cold to delay flowering. (佛罗伦萨大学的植物遗传学家Martinelli说：“许多植物需要一个最短的寒冷期来设置它们的环境时钟，以确定它们的开花时间”“随着寒冷季节的缩短，植物已经适应了需要更短的寒冷期来推迟开花)”可知，植物是通过调整环境时钟来适应缩短的寒冷季节的。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段 “These somatic memories can then be transmitted to the plants’ offspring through epigenetics (表现遗传). “Several examples demonstrate the existence of molecular processes modulating plant memory to environmental stresses and affecting the adaptation of offspring to these stresses,” says Martinelli.(然后，这些体细胞记忆可以通过表观遗传传递给植物的后代。马蒂内利说：“一些例子证明了存在调节植物对环境压力记忆的分子过程，并且这些过程会影响后代对这些压力的适应”)”可知，体细胞记忆能传递给后代且影响后代对环境压力的适应，从而增强后代的生存能力。故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“Several examples demonstrate the existence of molecular processes modulating plant memory to environmental stresses and affecting the adaptation of offspring to these stresses,” says Martinelli.(马蒂内利说：“一些例子证明了存在modulating植物对环境压力记忆的分子过程，并且这些过程会影响后代对这些压力的适应”)”可知，这些分子过程是使植物的记忆与环境压力相适应，进而影响后代对压力的适应。所以划线词的意思为“适应”。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recent studies indicate that both animals and plants possess the ability to swiftly adapt to challenging environmental conditions to ensure their survival. A study published in the journal Trends in Plant Science explores the rapid adaptation processes of plants in response to climate change and how these adaptive traits are inherited by their offspring (后代).(最近的研究表明，动物和植物都具有迅速适应具有挑战性的环境条件以确保生存的能力。发表在《植物科学趋势》杂志上的一项研究探索了植物对气候变化的快速适应过程，以及这些适应特征是如何遗传给它们的后代的。）以及后文对植物适应气候变化的具体阐述可知，文章主要围绕植物适应气候变化展开。故选B。 D If you could time travel, would you visit the past or the future?

Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly. For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it. 12. Why does the writer mention Einstein’s theory of relativity? A. To explain how time travel might work. B. To stress the importance of time travel. C. To describe Einstein’s contributions to science. D. To encourage us to work out the theory. 13. Why do astronauts age more slowly than those on earth? A. Time flows at the same speed across the universe. B. Moving faster slows the passage of time. C. Speed and space are closely connected. D. The speed of light prevents their aging. 14. Why does travelling backwards in time seem much more difficult? A. Wormholes move faster than the speed of light. B. Scientists have not studied time travel to the past. C. Wormholes lack scientific evidence of existence. D. The speed of light only allows forward movement in time. 15. What is the author’s attitude regarding the possibility of time travel? A Objective. B. Subjective. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是基于爱因斯坦相对论的时间旅行理论，探讨了前往未来及回到过去的可能性与科学挑战。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity changed understanding of space, time, mass and gravity. The key element of this theory is that time and space are linked together, and time doesn’t flow at a constant rate, meaning it speeds up or slows down, depending on where you are.(阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的相对论改变了人们对空间、时间、质量和引力的理解。这一理论的关键要素是时间和空间是联系在一起的，时间的流逝并不是恒定的，这意味着它会根据你所在的位置而加快或减慢。)”可知，通过介绍相对论来解释时间与空间的联系以及时间流逝的变化，从而探讨时间旅行的可能性。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, when you travel at high speeds, time decreases, which means, according to NASA, astronauts in space moving at high speeds age more slowly than those on Earth!(例如，当你以高速度旅行时，时间会减慢，这意味着根据NASA的说法，以高速度在太空中移动的宇航员比在地球上的人员衰老得更慢！)”可知，根据NASA的说法，高速度旅行时，时间会减慢，由此可知，移动得更快会减缓时间的流逝。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Theoretically, one way of going back is via a wormhole. That means, if space and time can be folded like paper, we could create a tunnel — a shortcut between points in time.(理论上，回到过去的一种方式是通过虫洞。这意味着，如果空间和时间能够像纸一样折叠，我们就可以创建一个隧道——即时间点之间的捷径。)”以及“Also, theories show that wormholes would be so small that a person definitely couldn’t fit through one, and they would have such an intense gravitational field that they would collapse very quickly.(此外，理论表明虫洞会非常小，以至于人绝对无法通过。而且，它们会有如此强烈的引力场，以至于会很快崩塌。)”可知，理论上可以通过虫洞回到过去，但目前没有证据表明虫洞确实存在，并且即使存在，它们也会非常小且不稳定。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其首段中的“It sounds unrealistic, but scientists have looked into whether time travel is actually possible.(这听起来不现实，但科学家们已经研究了时间旅行是否真的可能。)”以及尾段中的“For now, it seems we’ll have to be content with science fiction and using telescopes to look back in time rather than travelling through it.(目前看来，我们可能不得不满足于科幻小说和使用望远镜回望过去，而不是真正穿越时间。)”可知，作者客观地介绍了时间旅行的理论基础，如相对论和虫洞理论，同时也指出了当前技术限制和科学挑战，由此可知，关于时间旅行的可能性，作者的态度是客观的。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves.

After six hours of fishing, John Franklin and his sister Jane were ready to call it a day. It was 7 pm. The summer sun was setting, and the fishes had stopped biting. But Jane’s 12-year-old son Conrad was having so much fun that he begged “Let’s do just one more run,” Since the mild weather was holding out, why not? John turned the boat around and headed back. Yet, you never knew. They hadn’t even cast their lines when the wind picked up suddenly. Rough waves began battling against the little boat. “Check your life jackets and hold the boat!” John shouted, As Jane and her son were on the point of screaming, two big waves rolled over, one right after the other. Within a few seconds, the boat tipped(倾斜). Backward and turned over, throwing three of them into the water. Out of the worst, the luckiest thing was that they had life jackets on and the boat didn’t sink immediately. Everyone grabbed onto it. “Let’s get back in the boat, Mommy,” Conrad cried, trembling with fear. “Don’t panic. People know we’re out here,” Jane comforted him. “They’ll send help soon.” Treading(踩) the water, the adults exchanged worried looks. They were floating in the middle of nowhere. “I knew we were in a tight spot,” said John, a third-generation commercial fisherman who, like Jane, had been raised on the bay. When a strong wind blew through about half an hour with no sign of dying down, they had to make some decisions. It had been a perfect July day, with the water at a temperate 20 degrees centigrade, but everyone was cold by 9 pm. If they weren’t rescued soon, they might not survive the night, John recognized, but the closest shoreline was about three miles away, starred by only a few glowing house lights. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答. Looking at the lights in the distance, John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About three hours later, John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Looking at the lights in the distance, John asked his sister in a low voice, “Should I do it?” “Yeah, do it. We will take care of ourselves here.” Jane encouraged. Pushing away from the boat, John focused on alternating swim stroked as his muscles started to burn soon. Strong tides pushed him up the shoreline, and then pulled him in the opposite direction. Many times John doubted whether it was a right choice. What if he failed halfway? But he continued, meters after meters, driven by the image of his family drifting helplessly back at the boat. About three hours later, John reached the shoreline and saw the house in lights. Exhausted, he pulled himself out of water, staggered along and called for help. Hearing John’s desperate cries, people in the cottage rushed out immediately. Realizing what had happened, they swung into action. Soon, a search party jumped into a boat, heading for Jane and the boy. Luckily, they were pulled from the bay in time, miraculously unharmed. Jane knew it was thanks to her brother. “He’s my hero,” she said. “He always has been.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以John一家人出海捕鱼为线索，讲述了他们一家人在结束捕鱼后，小儿子Conrad乞求再跑一次海。因为天气很好，因此John便将船掉头往回走。但在这时，却刮起来大风，大浪将船掀翻，他们一家人都掉进了水里。在经过了很长时间后，他们都没获救。因此John只能努力地游向岸边，在游了大约三个小时候，John终于游到了岸边。他精疲力尽地从水里爬出来，跑着呼救。最后海边屋里的人听到了他的呼救声，及时地将他们一家人从海里救出来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着远处的灯，John低声问妹妹：‘我应该那样做吗’？”可知，本段可以写Jane鼓励John游向岸边，以及John在游往岸边时的艰难和他的担心。 ②由第二段首句内容“大约三小时后，John到达了海岸线，看到房子亮着灯。”可知，本段可以写John上岸后的疲惫，以及他拖着疲惫的身子跑向小屋呼救。小屋的人听到他的呼救声，就出发前往海中营救他们一家人。最终，他们被及时地救了出来。 2.续写线索：John决定游到海边→妹妹Jane鼓励他这么做→担心是否成功，并尽力与潮汐抗争，游向海边→成功到达海岸线→爬上岸边，呼救→小屋里的人听到呼救声→出发前往海中间→成功救下他们一家人。 3.词汇积累： 行类： 鼓励：encourage/inspire/stimulate 集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on 怀疑：doubt/question/be puzzled 情绪类： 精疲力尽的：exhausted/tired out 绝望的：desperate/helpless/despairing 幸运地：luckily/fortunately 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Exhausted, he pulled himself out of water, staggered along and called for help.（运用了形容词做状语。） 【高分句型2】 Many times John doubted whether it was a right choice.（运用了whether 引导宾语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
