I was once a captive of my smartphone. My eyes were fixed on the little screen whenever I walked down the street, had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night.Sometimes I had the uncomfortable feeling that this little machine had taken up too much of my time, and that I could have done something more meaningful than just looking at a tiny screen all day.
Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change. Head down, eyes on my smartphone, I stepped into the road and a car shot past, nearly knocking me off my feet! At that very moment, I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone.
The first day was the hardest. I found myself at a loss, unsure of how to occupy my time.Then somehow I began to feel free. I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and kept a journal of my feelings, thoughts and daily activities to see how much progress I was making. Best of all I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes,insteadof through my smartphone camera.
My offline relationships benefited as well. I went for a long walk with an old friend.Our wide-ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton,and visited museums. We had never felt closer to each other.
By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. I cannot escape from the modern world, but I can cut back on the amount of tme I spend on my smartphone every day, and I do.
24. What does the underlined word "captive" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Organizer. B.Helper. C.Addict. D.Advocate.
25.What made the author decide to make a change?
A.A scary road experience. B.A message from the smartphone.
C.A suggestion of friends. D. A blogger's social media update.
26.How can we describe the author's first-week without a smartphone?
A.Free but unrewarding. B.Confused and unsatisfied.
C.Challenging but beneficial. D.Enjoyable and adventurous.
27.Which is the possible title of this text?
A.Smartphone? No way!
B. Smartphone: A Smart Choice?
C.The Smnartphone is My Friend.
D.How Should We Live Without a Smartphone.
C
Imagine a chameleon(变色龙)standing on a rainbow. With every step, it changes
color,trying to match its surroundings. But the more it tries, the more confused it gets. Is it red,blue, or green? This is the dilemma(困境)many teenagers face today-shifting identities in an attempt to belong.
Psychologist Erik Erikson described adolescence as a stage of “identity vs. role confusion." It's a time when young people struggle with questions about theirvalues,purpose, and self-worth. Take a girl for example, a 16-year-old student named Wanjiku in Nairobi. At home, her parents remind her to maintain cultural values-dress modestly,respect elders, and pursue a “practical” career like medicine or law. At school, her peers laugh at her for not being “cool” enough because she doesn't follow the latest TikTok trends or wear designer sneakers. Wanjiku feels like a chameleon, constantly changing to fit into spaces where she never feels truly accepted.
This tug-of-war(拔河)between cultural expectations and global influences is a defining aspect of the identity crisis for many teenagers. Urban teens struggle with balancing tradition and modernity, while those in rural areas feel left behind in a digital age they can barely access. Add peer pressure and academic expectations to the mix,and the search for identity becomes even more challenging.
The good news is that every teenager has the potential to overcome this crisis and find their true self. Like a tree bending in the wind, they may shake under pressure but can grow stronger with the right support. Teens need to understand that their worth isn't determined by others' opinions. Activities like journaling can help them reflect on their values, passions and strengths. Parents and teachers can guide teenagers toward discovering their true selves. Teaching teenagers to critically analyze social media can protect them from falling into the trap of comparison.
28.Why does the author mention a chameleon in the beginning?
A.To raise a question. B. To present an argument.
C.To introduce the topic. D. To challenge a popular belief.
29.What has caused confusion for Wanjiku?
A.The changing values in culture and society.
B.The burning desire to follow the latest trend.
C.The conflicting expectations from different groups.
D.The ongoing pressure to achieve academic success.
30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The identity crisis facing teenagers.
B. The negative impact of globalization.
C.The challenge presented by a digital age.
D.The struggle between tradition and modernity.
31.What is the author's attitude towards dealing with the problem?
A.Doubtful. B.Uncertain. C.Optimistic. D.Indifferent.
D
Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance.They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate(碳酸钙),a primary component of limestone and chalk.The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree's life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic abot these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees.Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?
32.What is special about the trees found in Kenya?
A.They help turn CO2 into solids. B. They can absorb more CO2
C.They can release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria.
33.Why is the accurate data on CO2 transformation of the trees important?
A. To grow more trees in Kenya quickly.
B. To carry out more cooperative researches.
C.To keep the ecological balance and increase biodiversity.
D.To evaluate the global impact of the CO2 transformation.
34.What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs?
A.The method of green development.
B.The role of nature in climate solutions.
C.The prospect of scientific approaches.
D.The seriousness of global climate change.
35.What does the passage tell us?
A.Kenyan trees are a natural carbon lock.
B.A defensive strategy in nature is found.
C.Tree planting is a key to ecological balance.
D. A recent advance in CO2 research is achieved.

Are You Reacting or Choosing?
Have you ever told yourself, "I feel like I've been busy all day, but I got nothing done”"? You're switching from task to task as new requests come through, but you don't have a spare minute to connect with the bigger picture. 36 Reacting is what happens when youI move through your day on autopilot. Choosing, by contrast,is intentional(有目的的;主动选择的).Here are tips that help shift from reactive autopilot to intentional living.
Identify your values.
The confidence to choose comes when you know what matters most to you-whether that's family time, creativity, leadership, or health. 37
38
Even a few seconds of reflection can break the cycle of automatic agreement. Try asking yourself: Will this move me closer to my values, pull me further away, or simply distract me from the bigger picture?
Experiment with boundaries.
Treat each "no” as a small test. You might discover that people still respect you, your family adjusts, and you actually gain energy for the opportunities that excite you. 39And every time you choose, you remind yourself that your life is yours to shape.
40 You move forward on projects and passions that leave you feeling fulfilled, with energy left over for life outside of work. Over time, you'll notice that success feels less like constantly proving yourself and more spacious.
A. Choose your own route.
B. Pause before saying yes.
C. This is the result of confusing reacting with choosing.
D. When you practice choosing instead of reacting, the benefits add up.
E.Each successful experiment can help you build confidence in your ability to choose.
F. It's about following your own North Star, whether that leads you down a unique path.G. Clear values act like a filter(过滤器),helping you decide what deserves your “yes”.

Although I don't know 53 what brought about the man's trouble, the truth is, travel for 54can be stressful, and there's enormous potential for medical treatments.

Sports in Ancient China
Long before modern sports, ancient Chinese already developed various ball games and activities for entertainment. Ancient Chinese people, who worked long hours daily,56 (invent) many games to relax.
Among them was Chuiwan, 57 ball game that gained 58(popular) in the Song Dynasty. The name means "hit ball," and it is strikingly similar to modern golf.Players 59 (divide) into two groups, with each group having 2 to 10 people. Using wooden sticks, participants struck a ball toward holes dug in the ground,marked by colorful flags. The playing field was often set in natural landscapes, with obstacles(障碍)like trees 60 (increase) difficulty. What made the game interesting was that a player could only win a point by achieving three hits into the hole.
Even older than Chuiwan was Cuju, which FIFA officially recognized 61the earliest form of football and in 2006, it was listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage. 62 (origin) used as a training method for soldiers, cuju involved strict rules: No hands were allowed, 63 (mean) players could only use their feet and head.Unlike Chuiwan, which emphasized individual skills and precision, Cuju focused on teamwork.
Archery(射箭)also enjoyed great respect in ancient Chinese society. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was regarded as one of the six essential arts for gentlemen. It was not just a military skill 64 a symbol of moral character. The most famous event, Grand Archery, 65 attracted many competitors, who bowed before shooting and drank together afterward, was hosted by the emperor.

When Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten in Des Moines, Iowa,he began noticing that he looked different from his classmates. They all had two hands, but he only had one.
It started when one boy teased him about it. Jayce was in a bad mood. He'd return home with questions: "Why am I different? Why me? Why?" “He actually told us that he was mad because he looked so different from the other kids," said his mother, Cortney Lewis."That really hurt him." Lewis admitted she didn't know what to do at that point.How could she give answers to her son's questions when she had never found those answers out herself?
A few weeks later, Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV. There was a news story about Trashaun Willis, an eighth grader from a Washington middle school,Iowa.The boy, then 14,had become an Internet star after posting videos of his slam dunk(扣篮).Like Jayce, he was missing most of his left arm. Jayce's mother called him in to watch videos of Trashaun in action.Jayce was shocked as he watched one dunk after another.
At that time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would be an inspiring moment for Jayce-he'd see a shining role model who had been born with a similar disability.Had it stayed like that, his mother would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the Des Moines Register, asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun and Jayce to encourage Jayce and help him build his confidence.

I was once a captive of my smartphone.My eyes were fixed on the little screen
whenever I walked down the street,had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night.
Sometimes I had the uncomfortable feeling that this little machine had taken up too much
of my time,and that I could have done something more meaningful than just looking at a
tiny screen all day.
Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change.Head down,eyes
on my smartphone,I stepped into the road and a car shot past,nearly knocking me off my
feet!At that very moment,I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my
smartphone.
The first day was the hardest.I found myself at a loss,unsure of how to occupy my
time.Then somehow I began to feel free.I finally picked up the classic novel I had always
wanted to read and kept a journal of my feelings,thoughts and daily activities to see how
much progress I was making.Best of all I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my
own eyes,instead of through my smartphone camera.
My offline relationships benefited as well.I went for a long walk with an old friend.
Our wide-ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could.I also
made sure to spend more time with my parents.We went to the opera,played badminton,
and visited museums.We had never felt closer to each other.
By the end of the week,I almost did not want to turn my phone back on.Those seven
days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen.I cannot escape from
the modern world,but I can cut back on the amount of time I spend on my smartphone
every day,and I do.
24.What does the underlined word "captive"in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Organizer.
B.Helper.
C.Addict.
D.Advocate.

color,trying to match its surroundings.But the more it tries,the more confused it gets.Is it
red,blue,or green?This is the dilemma (many teenagers face today-shifting
identities in an attempt to belong.
Psychologist Erik Erikson described adolescence as a stage of "identity vs.role
confusion."It's a time when young people struggle with questions about their values,
purpose,and self-worth.Take a girl for example,a 16-year-old student named Wanjiku in
Nairobi.At home,her parents remind her to maintain cultural values-dress modestly,
respect elders,and pursue a "practical"career like medicine or law.At school,her peers
laugh at her for not being "cool"enough because she doesn't follow the latest TikTok
trends or wear designer sneakers.Wanjiku feels like a chameleon,constantly changing to
fit into spaces where she never feels truly accepted.
This tug-of-war (between cultural expectations and global influences is a
defining aspect of the identity crisis for many teenagers.Urban teens struggle with
balancing tradition and modernity,while those in rural areas feel left behind in a digital age
they can barely access.Add peer pressure and academic expectations to the mix,and the
search for identity becomes even more challenging.
The good news is that every teenager has the potential to overcome this crisis and find
their true self.Like a tree bending in the wind,they may shake under pressure but can
grow stronger with the right support.Teens need to understand that their worth isn't
determined by others'opinions.Activities like journaling can help them reflect on their
values,passions and strengths.Parents and teachers can guide teenagers toward
discovering their true selves.Teaching teenagers to critically analyze social media can
protect them from falling into the trap of comparison.
28.Why does the author mention a chameleon in the beginning?
A.To raise a question.
B.To present an argument.
C.To introduce the topic.
D.To challenge a popular belief.
29.What has caused confusion for Wanjiku?
A.The changing values in culture and society.
B.The burning desire to follow the latest trend.
C.The conflicting expectations from different groups.
D.The ongoing pressure to achieve academic success.
30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The identity crisis facing teenagers.
B.The negative impact of globalization.
C.The challenge presented by a digital age.
D.The struggle between tradition and modernity.
31.What is the author's attitude towards dealing with the problem?
A.Doubtful.
B.Uncertain.
C.Optimistic.
D.Indifferent.

Throughout history,trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance.
They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen.But one of the challenges with this
traditional carbon absorption is that the COz trees store can be released back into the
atmosphere when they die.
However,the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural
process.These trees,also found in several other countries,have been observed to transform
CO2 into calcium oxalate.Then bacteria present in the trees and surrounding soil transform
it further into calcium carbonate(碳酸钙),a primary component of limestone and chalk.,
The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer,even after
the tree's life ends.This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of
Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings,several challenges
remain.The primary concern is determining the exact amount of COz that these trees can
transform throughout their lifetime.Without this accurate data,it is challenging to assess
the full impact of this method globally.Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring
the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees.
Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a
comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in
addressing environmental challenges.While technological solutions to climate change are
vital,integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach.The unique ability of these
trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex.As we dig deeper into
understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees,we must ask ourselves:How can
we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to
come?
32.What is special about the trees found in Kenya?
A.They help turn CO2 into solids.
B.They can absorb more CO2
C.They can release oxygen quickly.
D.They live in harmony with bacteria.
33.Why is the accurate data on CO2 transformation of the trees important?
A.To grow more trees in Kenya quickly.
B.To carry out more cooperative researches.
C.To keep the ecological balance and increase biodiversity.
D.To evaluate the global impact of the CO2 transformation.
34.What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs?
A.The method of green development.
B.The role of nature in climate solutions.

Are You Reacting or Choosing?
Have you ever told yourself,"I feel like I've been busy all day,but I got nothing
done"?You're switching from task to task as new requests come through,but you don't
have a spare minute to connect with the bigger picture.36 Reacting is what happens
when you move through your day on autopilot.Choosing,by contrast,is intentional
的的;主动选择的).Here are tips that help shift from reactive autopilot to intentional
living.
Identify your values.
The confidence to choose comes when you know what matters most to you-
whether that's family time,creativity,leadership,or health.37
38
Even a few seconds of reflection can break the cycle of automatic agreement.Try
asking yourself:Will this move me closer to my values,pull me further away,or simply
distract me from the bigger picture?
Experiment with boundaries.
Treat each"no"as a small test.You might discover that people still respect you,your
family adjusts,and you actually gain energy for the opportunities that excite you.39
And every time you choose,you remind yourself that your life is yours to shape.
40 You move forward on projects and passions that leave you feeling
fulfilled,with energy left over for life outside of work.Over time,you'll notice that
success feels less like constantly proving yourself and more spacious.
A.Choose your own route.
B.Pause before saying yes.
C.This is the result of confusing reacting with choosing.
D.When you practice choosing instead of reacting,the benefits add up.
E.Each successful experiment can help you build confidence in your ability to choose.
F.It's about following your own North Star,whether that leads you down a unique path.
G.Clear values act like a filter(过a滤器),helping you decide what deserves your"yes'”.

Sports in Ancient China
Long before modern sports,ancient Chinese already developed various ball games
and activities for entertainment.Ancient Chinese people,who worked long hours daily,
56
(invent)many games to relax.
Among them was Chuiwan,57
ball game that gained
58
(popular)in the Song Dynasty.The name means"hit ball,"and it is strikingly similar to
modemn golf.Players 59(divide)into two groups,with each group having 2 to
10 people.Using wooden sticks,participants struck a ball toward holes dug in the ground,
marked by colorful flags.The playing field was often set in natural landscapes,with
obstacles (like trees 60 (increase)difficulty.What made the game
interesting was that a player could only win a point by achieving three hits into the hole.
Even older than Chuiwan was Cuju,which FIFA officially recognized 61
the earliest form of football and in 2006,it was listed as a National Intangible Cultural
Heritage.62(origin)used as a training method for soldiers,cuju involved strict
rules:No hands were allowed,63(mean)players could only use their feet and
head.Unlike Chuiwan,which emphasized individual skills and precision,Cuju focused on
teamwork.
Archery (also enjoyed great respect in ancient Chinese society.During the
Western Zhou Dynasty,it was regarded as one of the six essential arts for gentlemen.It
was not just a military skill 64 a symbol of moral character.The most famous
event,Grand Archery,65 attracted many competitors,who bowed before shooting
and drank together afterward,was hosted by the emperor.

that he looked different from his classmates.They all had two hands,but he only had one.
It started when one boy teased him about it.Jayce was in a bad mood.He'd return
home with questions:"Why am I different?Why me?Why?""He actually told us that he
was mad because he looked so different from the other kids,"said his mother,Cortney
Lewis."That really hurt him."Lewis admitted she didn't know what to do at that point.
How could she give answers to her son's questions when she had never found those
answers out herself?
A few weeks later,Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV.There was a
news story about Trashaun Willis,an eighth grader from a Washington middle school,Iowa.

Like Jayce,he was missing most of his left arm.Jayce's mother called him in to watch
videos of Trashaun in action.Jayce was shocked as he watched one dunk after another.
At that time,it seemed that watching Trashaun would be an inspiring moment for
Jayce-he'd see a shining role model who had been born with a similar disability.Had it
stayed like that,his mother would have been happy.But little did she know that a family

M: Thanks. I always think orange and blue look nice together.
Text2:M: How can I be a head boy in the school?
W: To begin with, you need to send a letter to the headmaster, putting yourself forward. He'll then interview everyone and select the three best ones. After that, the students will choose the right person.

M: You kept so many unnecessary things, like this textbook. I left college when I was 21, and it was 18 years ago.
