Anuar Abdullah has always had a special feeling for the ocean. In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructor and fell in love with corals. Twice daily, be went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures(纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names.He.studied the living conditions-the water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity(多样性)of ocean life-and saw how just one of those factors could bring about large-scale death.
Abdullah spent two decades experimenting with how to grow coral reefs in the ocean. He didn't have a degree in marine(海洋的)biology or a research lab, but he had his own ways. Almost all the materials heused to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn't use steel pipes or bricks-which he couldn't afford-instead,he gathered rocks from the scafloor, piling them so they wouldn't be knocked down by tidal waves. While others might depend on a lab to break live coral into pieces that were in turn used for growing, he searched for broken pieces of coral in existing reefs and fixed them to the rocks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed other materials,he started by searching the beach for waste.
Every day, the locals saw him on his knees examining corals in the ocean. Sometimes, he picked up a rock to which he had fixed a piece of coral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly,"My little acropora(鹿角大珊瑚),how are you doing today?" The locals whispered about how he'd spent days in the water speaking to corals as if they were people. "Everyone thought I was stupid," said Abdullah, “But I knew I was doing the most important thing in the world."
Actually, Abdullah was right. Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life. Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs.
24.Abdullah went out to sea twice daily to
A. share his feelings for the sea B.have diving training
C.check his oxygen supply D.study coral reefs
25.Abdullah's way of growing corals is
A.eco-friendly and practical B.scientific and expensive
C.high-tech and affordable D.traditional and indirect
26. From the passage we know that Abdull.uh
A.searched for waste to make a living B.received a degree in marine biology
C.talked to everyone about coral reefs D.became an expert on coral protection
27.What can we learn from the story?
A.Anyone with a dream is amazing. B.Achievement provides true pleasure.

Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term "pseudo-working"to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard-he or she spends-a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night-but, because of a lack of focus and concentration,he or she doesn't actually accomplish much.
This phenomenon can be seen in most colleges. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students we used to see in there late at night crowded in groups,drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours,these students are damaging their brain's ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don't even realize that they're pseudo-working. To them,pseudo-working is work-it's how they've always done it, and it's how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working.They fear it, and for good reason it not only wastes time, but it's also mentally tiring.
In fact, the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material learned per time unit.
So how can students manage to study efficiently? One key factor is captured in the following simple formula:work accomplished= time spent×intensity of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore,to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach, on the other hand, maximizes intensity in order to minimize time.
28.Which of the following phenomenon is an example of pseudo-working?
A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B.Alice and Sara are sitting on the sofa reading their favorite books.
C.Mike is sitting in the study room in preparation for a final exam quietly.
D. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
29.What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Straight-A students believe some tasks are worth twice the effort.
B. Too much thinking may weaken the brain's ability of the students.
C. Negative effects of pseudo-working are not fully realized by many students.
D.Students will get good grades once they realize that pseudo-working is ineffective.
30. What does the underlined word “optimal' mean in paragraph S?
A.Best B.Longest C.Least D.Effective
31.Why does the author mention the formula in the text?
A.To show the benefit of working hard.
B. To prove the necessity of accomplishing work.
C.To emphasize the importance of concentration.
D.To explain the reason for spending much time.

With a sun hat made of solar panels, a tea picking robot snakes its way through rows of Longing tea bushes in
Hangzhou's West Lake scenic spot, East China's Zhejiang province. The 550-kg robot picker is a godsend for local tea planters this season. The upcoming Qingming Festival, which falls on Sunday this
year, is the major harvest period for early spring tea, and the local tea gardens are quite understaffed these days.
Longing tea, also known as West Lake Dragon Well tea, is a kind of green tea."The beautiful forms of a bud with one leaf or a bud with two leaves are often acknowledged as quality tea. And the picking work of such tea leaves has relied largely on hand-operated work, very difficult to be replaced by machines," said Jia Jiangming, developer of the robot.
However, most of the tea pickers in the production areas of Longjing tea are all in their 60s, few are in their 50s,and young people are not willing to land jobs in the industry. "If so, the Longjing tea industry may face great embarrassment when there remains nobody to help pick the leaves," Jia said when explaining why his team started to develop tea-picking robots as early as 2019.
Jia's team introduced the model of convolution neural networks(卷积神经网络)in deep learning,enabling the robot to study many tea tree bud and leaf image data. Using binocular stereo (双目立体) vision, the robot can position where the target bud and leaf are, cut them off accurately, and then suck the leaves into its basket.
Earlier this year, Jia's robot helper developed into its fifth generation. The upgraded robot's overall tea-picking success rate rose from 40 percent to 60 percent. "The new generation robot can do as well as a human tea picker," said Chen Jianneng, another researcher of the team, adding that though the robot is still in its trial operation, they plan to improve its practicability, thus allowing the tea industry to enjoy benefits brought by modern mechanization in the coming future.
32. Why is there a lack of human tea pickers in the Longjing tea industry?
A. Because machinery has taken the place of human tea pickers.
B.Because the tea-leaf picking work can only be done by humans.
C.Because the young generation are not interested in the demanding job.
D.Because human tea pickers are not capable of picking the target tea leaves.
33.What can we learn about the robot tea-leaf picker?
A. It can suck the damaged leaves into its basket.
B. It can increase the quality of the early spring.
C. It can help pick tea leaves accurately and intelligently.
D. It can reach a higher tea-picking success rate than humans.
34.What does Chen Jianneng think of the new generation robot?
A. The robot's picking efficiency has been greatly increased.
B.The robot cannot be put into use for it hasn't been tested yet.
C. The benefits of the robot are being enjoyed by the tea industry.
D.The robot still needs improvements before coming into common use.
35.What is the best title of this text?
A.Robot Joins Longjing Tea Harvest
B. The Newest Robot Picker Enjoys Popularity
C.Advanced Technology Is Used in Tea Industry
D.Longjing Tea-Leaf Picking Work Faces Challenge

Why does rain seem to make you sleepy?
This spring on the cast coast of the US, it feels like we've lost touch with the sun. In Washington, DC, 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. 36 . It means that for me, May has been one of the months I've felt the sleepiest.The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a sleep.
First, there's what we see-or rather, what we don't. 37 When it's raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body's internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central on Queensland University said, when you don't see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode.
38 Plants produce oils during dry periods, possibly to stop seeds from developing. When it rains,the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a "musky" smell. 39 . Additionally, after a thunderstorm there's a chance you may smell ozone(臭氧),which is generated when lightning interacts with the air.Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets.
Rain sounds are also comforting. The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called "pink noise." Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some research, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. 40
The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of this evidence is enough to justify doing so;but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days.
A. Noises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime.
B The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day.
C. That earthy smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable.
D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before.
E. And you'll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil
F.You can listen to an hour of rain on a window here, if you intend to test it out
G. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night

UK's Channel 4 recently launched a reality show titled The Piano. It features amateur(业余的) 41 who are invited to perform on instruments located at major train stations. However, they perform without knowing they are being 42 by top pianist Lang Lang and pop singer Mika, or that they've entered a contest to perform at the honoured Royal Festival Hall. One of the show's most 43 performances was given by a blind 13-year-old girl named Lucy.
In a video shared on Twitter, the girl sits down at the piano with the 44 of her teacher Daniel Bath.He later 45 her in placing her hands on the keys. He then announces that Lucy will be playing Chopin's Nocturne I in B-flat minor, This surprises Lang Lang, as he knows this is a technically 46 melody(旋律)."It's unbelievable that she can 47 this piece. How did she study?" the famous pianist says. By then, some of the passers-by have taken out their phones to 48 her, with one even wiping away a tear. In the meantime, Mika, a pop star, points out that two other "opinionated" musicians are 49 and speechless by the young piano player.
Lucy,who has severe autism(自闭症),has been playing the piano for some years. Years ago, Lucy's teacher,had met her as a(n) 50 child. When she repeatedly played Twinkle Twinkle, he sensed music was her 51 .Through patience, her teacher helped her master melodies note by note, her fingers guided until muscle memory 52 .Now,Lucy could play anything she heard-classical,jazz-her world was 53 by sound.
That day, Lucy proved that love can make difficulties 54 For Lang Lang and Mika, her performance wasn't just music-it was a lesson in resilience (韧性). The show, through stories like Lucy's, reminds us that true art is not 55 by the body.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was very young, my mother thought it was necessary for me to learn to play a musical instrument,as most parents do nowadays. She asked me what kind of instrument I was interested in. I didn't have any idea,but I thought playing the drums was cool and interesting. So she took me to enroll in a drum course in the Children's Palace, where I spent nearly every Sunday morning for two years,practicing playing the drum.
As time went on, I went to middle school. I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum in a team and meeting new friends. At first it was easy because of my constant practice during the primary school, but a month later, it got more and more difficult. I was the only one who couldn't keep pace with the other players. The band consists of students playing the violin, the piano,the guitar and so on.We were in a team; the music was beautiful, but it seemed rather challenging. So I was in low spirits when playing in the band, and the joy of playing music began to fade.
Our teacher, Ms Miller, noticed my struggle and singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. With each missed beat, I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of practicing that I no longer cared if it was done right.
"Are you giving up, Steve?" Ms Miller asked gently.
“Yes, I am," I shouted. Ms Miller sent me inside the music room where I cried out. Then she came in and said,"Don't be sad. I believe you can make it! " She told me never to give up and left me alone to think about it. Alone in the music room, I recalled Ms Miller's words and finally realized she was right. Quitting wasn't just about giving up on myself, it was about abandoning my team. I couldn't let my teammates down.
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。
Then I decided to go on practicing.
