When Maggie was a very young girl,she loved looking up at the stars in the sky,and she loved a
British television stop-animation (series,The Clangers,about mousy-looking beings
from another planet.It's debatable as to which fueled her dream of becoming a space scientist more,
but one thing is for sure:the passion Maggie had for space inspired a career and helped her overcome
her dyslexia(读写困难).
The now celebrated space scientist,mechanical engineer,and science communicator grew up
bouncing from one area of the country to another,the child of two Nigerian immigrants.Diagnosed
(with dyslexia at the age of eight,Maggie faced enormous challenges in traditional learning
environments.Dyslexia often made reading and writing difficult,and she was sometimes looked
down upon by classmates.
Despite these obstacles,her passion for science and space exploration shone through.Rather
than focusing on the limitations dyslexia imposed,Maggie discovered its adyantages:her brain was
good at visualization and problem-solving,enabling her to think creatively and approach challenges
from unique perspectives.Her journey to success wasn't easy.After overcoming early academic
struggles,she went on to earn degrees in physics and mechanical engineering.Today,she is well
known for her work in space science,including the development of satellites and instruments used to
explore the universe.Her contributions,to science are widely recognized,and she has become an
inspiring role model for young people,particularly those facing learning difficulties.
Her story is a powerful reminder that dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of
processing the world,one that can lead to extraordinary achievements.Maggie's life and career
prove that facing what makes you different can turn challenges into strengths;inspiring others to see
the potential in their own unique abilities.
24.What can we learn about Maggie from paragraph 1?
A.She was born with a talent for space science.B.Her dyslexia stopped her path to her dream.
C.Her passion for space promoted her career.D She was mainly inspired by The Clangers.
25:Which word best describes Maggie's early learning experience?
A.Engaging
B.Enriching.
C.Relaxing.
D.Demanding.
26.What did Maggie's achievements result from?
A.Inner desire.
B.Eamily support.
C.Peer assistance.
D.Social recognition.
27.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A.To present a scientist's contributions.
B.To discuss the disadvantages of dyslexia
C.To encourage people to face difficulties bravely.
D.To highlight the importance of space exploration.

People have been trying to create glowing()plants for decades.The challenge is making
the glow bright enough for our eyes to see.Last year,US biotech company Ligbt Bio launched the
Firefly Petunia,the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale.It claims that theplant's
brightness is"similar to moonlight,"but judging from photos on social media,it's nowhere near as
bright as a full moon.
6
There is a reason why this is so difficult.Plants get their energy from light,but photosynthesis
()is wildly memceht.It's estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the
light that falls on them,and they need part of it to survive and grow.That leaves precious little to
transform back into light.
Given this fact,plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights.To solve
this,a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors(瞵光体),a type of
light-storing material that glows in the dark,to adult plants,which are much more efficient than
photosynthesis.The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves.
But now it's tound that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants,so brightly
phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand.
However,making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is considered
"cheating."At the very least,the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger.
There is also a potential environmental concern when the plants die and are thrown out.
If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully
biodegradable,it would be a different story.In fact,giving plants this ability might even boost the
efficiency of photosynthesis.Being able to temporarily"store"light could help keep the light steady,
transform unusable wavelengths into usable ones,and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night.
One day,perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark.
what makes it hard for plants to glow brightly?
A.The low light-use efficiency of photosynthesis.
B.Plants need most captured light to survive and grow.
C.Photosynthesis transforms only part of sunlight into usable energy.
D.Plants'leaves cannot store enough light
29.How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants?
A.By adding phosphors into the leaves
B.By using adult plants that are more efficient than seedlings.
C.By manually adjusting light conditions.
D.By distributing chemicals evenly inside the leaves.
30.What can we learn about phosphorescent plants from the passage?
A.They need careful light management.
6
B.Their glow fade over time.
C.They cancause environmental pollution.
D.They are less bright than expected.
31.What's the function of the last paragraph?
A.To discuss the difficulties of making plants glow.
B.To explore potential future applications of glowing plants.
C.To explain current experiments with glowing plants.
D.To highlight environmental concerns of glowing plants.

For years,sugar has been labeled a primary cause behind the global rise in diabetes )
especially type 2 diabetes(T2D).However,groundbreaking research from Brigham Young
University challenges this broad assumption.A large-scale study reveals a crucial detail:the source
and form of sugar matter significantly when it comes to diabetes risk.
The findings paint a contrasting picture.On one hand,sugars consumed in liquid form-
specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100%fruit juice-were
consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D.On the other hand,sugars
naturally-present in or added to solid,nutrient-dense whole foods(such as whole fruits,dairy
products,or whole grains)appeared to be far less harmful or potentially even protective.
Why is there such a big difference?Researchers point to metabolism(新陈代谢).Liquid sugars
from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system.They eause rapid and large spikes in
blood sugar,overwhelming the liver.This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and
insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development.Conversely,sugars added to solid foods are
released much more slowly into the bloodstream.The fiber,fat,protein,and other beneficial
nutrients naturally accompanying the sugar in these whole foods act as buffers,reducing the
glycemic(血糖的)impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded,
The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice.Despite containing some vitamins,its high
concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit.The vital fiber present in
whole fruit,crucial for moderating blood sugar response,is largely missing in juice.
"This study emphasizes the need for even stricter recommendations for liquid sugars such as
those in sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice,as they appear to harmfully associate with
7
metabolic health,"said Della Corte,one of the lead researchers."Rather than criticizing all added
sugars,future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and
form
32.Which form of sugar consumption brings a higher T2D risk?
A.Sugar from whole grains and dairy products.B.Sugar naturally found in whole fruits.
C.Sugar added to nutrient-dense solid foods.
D.Sugar present in various liquid drinks.
33.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The reasons for sugar metabolism.
B.The benefits of sugar metabolism.
C.The differences in sugar metabolism.
D.The significance of sugar metabolism.
34.To lower the risk of T2D,which practice is most likely supported by the study?
A Avoiding dairy products containing sugar.
B.Replacing soda drinks with whole fruits
C.Increasing consumption of 100%fruit juice.D.Consuming as much fiber and fat as possible
35.What can be inferred from Della Corte's statement about future dietary guidelines?
A.They should reconsider the impact of sugar on metabolism.
B.They should remove fruit juice from recommendations.
C.They should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to sugar.
D.They should criticize sugars regardless of different effects.

Changing Your Inner Voice
Picture this:You've just arrived home from the grocery store and realized that you forgot to buy
the main food you needed for dinner.You may feel upset and tired.And then,the voice in your head
begins its comments:“It's really stupid of me.”Or“Why am I always so careless?”36
We've all been there-experiencing the inner dialogue that follows a mistake or a setback
37Negative self-talk is a normal part of being human.But if left unchecked,it can affect
our mental health.Our inner voice is constantly broadeasting our thoughts,whether they're positive
or negative.38On the other hand,negative self-talk exposes us to self-doubts-and fears
This can eventually harm our mental health,relationships,and confidence.
39 Research shows that people who engage in this kind of behavior often experienee
lower self-confiaence,higher anxiety levels,and a reduced sense of overall well-being.In addition,
8
self-criticism has been associated with.higher stress levels and an increased risk of mental health
issues,such as depression.
The good news is that we can change our self-talk.The first step is becoming aware of the role
our inner voice plays.Once we recognize its impact,we can use simple techniques to shift how we
talk to ourselves.40Besides,using your name instead of"I during inner dialogue can also
create a more supportive,lesa critical voice.
A Changing self-talk requires professional help.
B.Practicing constructive self-talk can be helpful
C.In fact,negative self-talk can take many forms.
D.Positive self-talk can inspire and boost our confidence.
E.You might end up feeling frustrated and heading back to the store.
F.The link between negative self-talk and mental health is well-established.
G.This inner dialogue is the voice that criticizes us when things don't go as planned.

Cross-campus Relay Race
The school sports meeting was in full swing(正全力进行).The most anticipated event,the
4x100-meter relay race,was about to start.Tim,a passionate and athletic student,was part of his
class's relay team.Along with his teammates-Mark,Jack and Alex,he had trained intensively for
weeks,nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal.
The atmosphere was electric(微s动人心的)as the runners took their positions.The starting gun
fired,and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning,his powerful strides(大步,步伐)eating up the
track.He smoothly handed the baton(to Jack.Jack sprinted ahead with all his might,
skillfully maintaining their lead.Then,it was Tim's turn.As Jack approached at top speed,Tim
11
reached out eagerly for the baton.But in his over-enthusiasm,he miscalculated the distance,and to
his horror,the baton dropped to the ground.Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton,his
heart pounding.
He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward,but the precious seconds lost had put them behind
the other teams.Alex did his absolute best in the final leg,pushing himself to the limit,but they
ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place,narrowly missing out on the medals
The disappointment on the team's faces was obvious.Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on
his shoulders.He couldn't bring himself to look at his teammates,consumed by guilt.He replayed
the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind,each time wishing he could turn back
the clock.Mark,usually the most talkative,was silent,his eyes downcast.Jack shook his head in
frustration,muttering()something under his breath.Alex just looked at the ground,his
shoulders low.Without a word,they started walking back to the changing room,leaving Tim alone
on the track,filled with self-blame.
续写要求:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly(深深地).
