He was taking part in a protest against the mistreatment of animals at a local circus when he was 3 years old. “I passed out almost half copies of brochures,” Nirvaan told TIME for Kids. “People kept taking them from me because I was a little kid.” Since then, Nirvaan, now 12, has been speaking out on a range of issues affecting animals, from their use in the fur industry to horse racing. That commitment shows in his personal life, too. He’s a vegan, which means he doesn’t eat food that comes from animals. He says, “It’s important to make a voice for animals because they can’t speak for themselves.” In the meantime, Nirvaan encourages other kids who care about animals to take action. “It’s never too early to help animals,” he says. In 2022, he spoke before county officials in his hometown of Edison, New Jersey, relaying animal advocates’ concerns about the Johnson Park zoo, in Piscataway, which was always hit by flood, threatening the animals’ life, Nirvaan got results. Months later, it was finally closed and the animals were moved to shelters. Later that year, Nirvaan was recognized for his work by the animal-rights organization PETA Kids. He was named one of its Kids’ All-Star for Animals. The honor gave him a new viewpoint on his duty. “It makes me feel like I have the power to do something,” he says. “I feel like I can change the world.” Even with all of his accomplishments, Nirvaan has big plans for the future. He says, “Ending the mistreatment of animals happens one step at a time. You can slowly break down the pillars of a structure.” Eventually, when you break down all of those pillars, the whole structure falls. “He hopes to be a chef and create vegan recipes someday.” 1.

III. 阅读理解 Listening to an audiobook before bed affects a person’s brain activity after they nod off as well as the content of their dreams. Better understanding this effect could help treat certain mental health conditions by targeting memory processing during sleep. When we sleep, our brain spontaneously “replays”, or reactivates, patterns of electrical activity that are related to learning to transfer important new information to long-term memory storage. It has been suggested that dreams may reflect this reactivation, but exactly how is unclear. To investigate, Deniz Kumral at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and her colleagues asked 20 people to listen to different audiobooks just before they went to sleep. These included *The Mystery of the Blue Train* by Agatha Christie and *Inkheart* by Cornelia Funke. Among the participants who remembered their dreams, the researchers could identify which audiobook each had heard from their descriptions of the dreams. While the participants slept, the researchers also used an EEG (脑电图) cap that detects electrical activity to record their brain waves. This showed that the wave patterns during the rapid eye movement phase of sleep, when dreams occur, were more similar between those who had heard the same audiobook than those who had heard different ones, suggesting that the listening experience shaped the brain activity. Further analysis of the patterns revealed that high-frequency beta waves—between 18 and 30 hertz—were most strongly associated with the participants recalling the audiobook-related content of their dreams. The findings suggest that daily life experiences can shape dream content via memory reactivation, according to the researchers. But while dreaming may serve a distinct purpose in memory formation, it could also be a by-product of memory processing. “Daytime experiences are rarely replayed as experienced, but are almost always modified or surface in different contexts,” says Kumral. “Individuals with certain psychological conditions or mental problems might benefit from tailored strategies that enhance memory processing or treat disorders of dreaming during sleep, potentially contributing to improved mental and emotional health.” 1. What did the researchers ask the participants to do? A. Record their dreams every night. B. Wear an EEG cap during the day. C. Listen to audiobooks during the day. D. Listen to audiobooks just before sleep. 2. Why did Deniz Kumral and her colleagues do the research? A. To know how people process information. B. To find out the contents of people’s dreams. C. To reveal the secret of improving people’s memory. D. To investigate how dreams replay patterns of electrical activity. 3. What does the underlined word “modified” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Stored. B. Changed. C. Forgotten. D. Strengthened. 4. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of dreams in memory formation. B. Integration of daily experiences into dreams. C. Listening experiences influencing brain activity. D. Listening to audiobooks before bed shaping one’s dream.

I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat. A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No. 8 was the fastest. It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, as well as the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right. I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return. I’d found a place to stand on solid ground. 1. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes? A. He liked the August heat better. B. He had to go back to the meeting. C. He wanted to show off his new car. D. He didn’t think the dryer worked well. 2. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No. 8? A. She was warm-hearted. B. She needed a volunteer. C. She wanted to thank him. D. She was sorry for the mess. 3. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry? A. It was harder to fulfill. B. It was really fascinating. C. It was badly-paid work. D. It needed a lot of effort. 4. What can be inferred about the author from the passage? A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B. He made a lot of friends in college. C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.

Before this summer holiday, their school was to hold the annual “School Play”, wanting a whole set of actors. That was their luck. “I’d like to play a role in the show.” Molly told herself. After reading the notice, she learned that the play was named *Rapunzel*, who was a magic princess. Another leading role was an evil witch (女巫) stealing Rapunzel to keep herself young forever. Immediately, Molly and Maye were both attracted by the role of princess. Apart from them, there were about twenty other girls interested in this role as well. So an audition (试镜) would be needed to choose the most suitable one. “Do you really want to play the princess, Maye?” they walked home, arm in arm. “Yes, a little. And you?” Maye replied. Long silence… Several weeks before the audition, they practiced and practiced. With time speeding by, Molly’s confidence grew and she felt happy with her acting. The morning of the audition arrived at last. Unbelievable! So many students crowded into the school hall to appreciate and witness the moment. Nervous though Molly was, she took a deep breath and recalled what she had practiced. During the audition, she tried her best to present her best self, and she was sure that she could make it. After an anxiety-filled hour, the result of the audition came out. Molly didn’t even dare to check the result in person. Standing outside the crowd, she heard someone shouting, “Maye is the princess!” What was worse, Molly was shocked to learn that she was given the role of “witch”! 注意:1.续写字数为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。 Molly rushed home and burst out crying when her mother came.___________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the big day for the play arrived. _______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Reading and thinking部分 I. 1. recite 2. comprehension 3. sorrow 4. amateur 5. delicate II. 1. innocent 2. comprehension 3. to look 4. to deal 5. why III. 1.B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He was taking part in a protest against the mistreatment of animals at a local circus when he was 3 years old.”可知，Nirvaan三岁时参与了重大的事情。故选 B。] IV. 1.C [细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，Nirvaan试图告诉人们不要为了皮毛而杀死动物来为动物说话。故选 D。] 3.

[参考范文] Molly rushed home and burst out crying when her mother came. After her mom knew about everything, she smiled, “Dear, why not try your best to make it impressed? Maybe you are the best.” Molly jerked up her head as if awake from a dream. She kissed her mother in gratitude and got ready immediately. She carefully analyzed the witch’s personality traits, body language, consulted professionals, and looked up information about the relevant characters. As she learned more, her confidence grew gradually. A few days later, the big day for the play arrived. The performance was a great success. Molly’s performance as the witch was as impressive as Maye’s as the princess, and the applause from the audience continued, which made Molly cry with joy. And her friend Maye also hugged her deeply and whispered, “If I had played a witch, I might not be as good as you.” Molly also understood a truth: no matter what role you play, as long as it is taken seriously, it will make people impressed. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
