When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You? — Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first. — Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well. — November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November. Why Do Leaves Change Color? A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall. What Makes A Good Colorful Season? Location matters: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes. Weather’s role: The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures. Soil moisture (湿度): Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves. Wind warning: If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color. So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight! 21.When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region? A. Late October. B. Late September. C. Early October. D. Mid November. 22. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors? A. Rainy nights in autumn. B. Reduced daylight hours. C. Uncovered pigments. D. Rising temperature. 23. What may ruin the full display of peak color? A. The wet soil. B. The tree species. C. The severe storm. D. The hot summer. B 37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped enthusiasm for cultural exchanges. Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics (杂技) and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with unique way of moving and fighting. Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through rigorous teaching and setting high standards. Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangibly characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.” “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says. 24. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text? A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes. B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life. C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child. D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background. 25. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3? A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills. B. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China. C. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera. D. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China. 26. What kind of person is Pilotti? A. Passionate and considerate B. Adaptable and rigorous C. Original and dedicated D. Committed and conventional 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera B. The Monkey King: A Huge Success C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China C The social media platform Instagram once made headlines for limiting likes in an effort to reduce the comparisons and hurt feelings resulting from attaching popularity to sharing content. But do these efforts resolve mental health issues, or are they simply applying a band-aid to a wound? It’s a small step in the right direction, says Jacqueline Sperling, a psychologist who works with youth who experience anxiety disorders.“Even if you remove the likes, there continue to be opportunities for comparisons and feedback. People still can compare themselves to others, and people still can post comments.” Social platforms are designed to be addictive and are related to anxiety, depression, and even physical ailments(小病).This puts a large amount of the population at an increased risk of feeling anxious, depressed, or ill over their social media use. But what makes users come back for more even when it can literally make them feel sick? “When the outcome is unpredictable , the behavior is more likely to repeat. Think of a slot machine(老虎机): if game players knew they were never going to get money by playing the game, then they never would play,” says Sperling. “The idea of a potential future reward keeps the machines in use. The same goes for social media sites. One does not know how many likes a picture will get, who will like the picture, and when the picture will receive likes. The unknown outcome and the possibility of a desired outcome can keep users engaged with the sites.” FOMO-fear of missing out - also impacts the youth greatly. Teenagers hope to keep track of friends’ activities. If everyone else is using social media sites, and if you don’t join in, there’s concern that you’ll miss chats, jokes, connections, or invitations. Missing experiences can create anxiety and depression. When people look online and see they’re excluded from an activity, it can affect thoughts and feelings, and can affect them physically. In addition to limiting likes, as Instagram has done, Sperling suggests social platforms consider decreasing mass sharing. They might function more as messaging services by highlighting one-on-one communications. Regardless of how likely social media giants are to change their ways, though, individuals can take control of their own behavior. 28. What does Sperling think of Instagram’s measure? A. It’s strict. B. It’s objective. C. It’s conservative. D. It’s limited. 29. What is probably the major reason for social media addiction? A. Expectation of possible surprises. B. Need for self-expression. C. Desire for constant recognition. D. lack of interest in real-life activities. 30. What does Sperling alvise social platforms to do in the last paragraph? A. Restrict their service scales. B. Shift the focus from sharing to messaging. C. Decrease one-on-one interactions D. Limit the time users spend on them. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. Strategies for individuals’ self-control. B. Redesign of social media platforms. C. Changes made by social media giants. D. Impact of social media on mental health. D Science fiction stories have imagined future people living in underground cities on Mars, in asteroids, and in space stations far from the sun. But if humans are ever to survive in any of those tough environments, they will need ways to grow food using limited resources-and photosynthesis (光合作用), the wildly successful yet energy-inefficient process by which plants turn sunlight into sugar, might not cut it. Now, some scientists are wondering whether it’s possible to produce food more efficiently by skipping photosynthesis altogether, and growing plants in the dark. The idea sounds as science fictional as cities on Mars. But a team of researchers has taken a first step toward realizing it with a study published in Nature Food in June. The research shows it is possible to grow algae (藻类), edible yeast (食用酵母), and mushroom-producing fungi (真菌) in the dark by supplying them with a carbon-based chemical that didn’t originate from plants, but instead was manufactured using solar electricity. That is, this method replaced biological photosynthesis with a partly artificial process for turning sunlight into food. Their process is a version of artificial photosynthesis, a term that has been around for years and includes various approaches to transforming sunlight, water, and CO2 into liquid fuels and other chemicals. The researchers say their work represents the first time an artificial photosynthesis system has been paired with an attempt to grow common food-producing organisms. The scientists are hopeful that this method could unlock new ways to produce food using less physical space and energy than traditional agriculture — including, perhaps, crops that can grow in the dark. While other experts are skeptical that it will ever be possible to redesign plant biology so thoroughly, they are excited by the technology the researchers have invented and the team’s out-of-the-box idea about how to make food production more efficient. Lynn Rothschild, a senior research scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center, says it’s worth keeping an open mind about how any efforts to redesign a fundamental biological process like photosynthesis could be applied, in space or on Earth: “The payoff may be something we haven’t imagined yet.” 12. How could scientists grow algae in the dark according to the text? A. By giving them a chemical from plants. B. By giving them physical space and energy. C. By giving them a chemical produced by solar electricity. D. By giving them crops that grow in the dark. 13. Which of the following best describes artificial photosynthesis”? A. It uses sunlight, water, and CO2 inefficiently. B. It has been very successful. C. It helps to find new ways of producing food. D. The term has just been created. 14. What does the underlined word “out-of-the-box” mean in paragraph 5? A. Taken out from the box. B. Very creative. C. Usable immediately. D. Mysterious. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. How to grow fungi in the dark? B. What is artificial photosynthesis? C. How to turn sunlight into food? D. Can food crops grow in the dark? 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。选项有项为多余选项。 Interruptions (打扰) are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done. ___36___, there are several ways to handle things.

We both adored animals and had dreamed of opening our own rescue center someday. Our routine was simple: I’d clean kennels (狗舍) while Lily socialized the cats. But as midterm exams approached, my anxiety snowballed began skipping shifts, inventing excuses like “family emergencies” or “study sessions”. Lily never questioned me, but her disappointed sighs cut deeper than any accusation. One rainy Saturday, the shelter’s director called me directly. Lily’s down with a cold, she said, “and we’ve got some abandoned dogs arriving in an hour. Can you come?” My hands got sweaty, I’d lied about studying that very morning, claiming I needed to go over chemistry. Now, faced with a choice between my lie and the dogs, I froze. “I...I have a fever,” I tripped over my words. “I can’t make it.” The director’s silence felt like a hit. That night, guilt bothered me as I went through Lily’s Instagram (照片墙). There she was wrapped in a blanket, surrounded by eight tiny golden retrievers (寻回犬). The illustration read: Even when I’m sick, these angels keep me going. Below it were comments praising her devotion. My chest tightened. Scrolling further, I saw Lily’s post from last night: “Stuffy nose, but Mom’s chicken soup saved the day!” The next day, I dragged myself to the shelter. Through the window, I saw Lily kneeling in front of a kennel, cleaning patiently. Her coughs rang out through the courtyard. I pushed open the door, my throat tightening, “Lily...” She tuned, her face pale but eyes bright. You said you were sick, she whispered. But here you are, perfectly fine. I opened my mouth to explain, but the words died as a tremble attacked her body. 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。 Paragraph 1：I realize it was time to admit my lie and make up for my mistakes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：With trembling hands, I took out the homemade chicken soup I’d cooked early in the morning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 8 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
