Let's get the bad news out of the way first:Dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories and sugars.The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars.And choose the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here.
1.Apricots
PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95
These orange orbs supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger cancer and other chronic diseases.You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value.
2.Figs
PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105
Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruits, and they supply a decent amount of calcium.They may sometimes look like they're sprinkled with sugar, but they're not.The natural fruit sugar in the figs can crystallize and leave a white coating.
3.Prunes
PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92
Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis.One serving of prunes has about 20 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin K.The low intakes have been linked to painful blood vessel (血管) problems.

Four-year-old Camila loves to dress up and rarely leaves the house without lipstick.Camila's mother Annette Vea Lopez didn't always know how to respond to Camila's self-expression, but since participating in the Casa de los Ninos Parents as Teachers program, she now accepts her daughter's fashion choices happily.
“Camila's been very independent since she was very young,”Vea Lopez said.“Adults would always comment on her makeup and how she dressed.She was always very girly.She's 4 now and still that way.That's just her personality.We love her just as she is.And we love that Parents as Teachers always encouraged us to let Camila be herself.”
Vea Lopez heard about the Parents as Teachers home visitation program from a friend who suggested that she take part with the 1-year-old Camila.The FTFPSRP Council funds this program to help parents become their child's first and best teachers.Parents as Teachers gives families personalized, in-home support through a trained parent educator.
During home visits, the parent educator introduced the family to activities that support social-emotional development, such as being able to recognize and label emotions.Vea Lopez notices the impact these activities have had on her daughter.“I see that Camila's confidence and self-esteem have grown.She began to open up to me more and talk about when she was feeling anxious or what she needed support with,”said Vea Lopez.
Camila recently graduated from the program and is ready for kindergarten,and Vea Lopez feels indebted to Parents as Teachers for helping get her there.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了四岁女孩Camila和她的母亲Annette Vea Lopez参与“家长即教师”项目后,母亲学会了如何更好地支持女儿的自我表达,以及该项目对家庭产生的积极影响。

Scientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world.Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land.
Solar panels—also known as“photovoltaic”panels—are used to turn sunlight into electricity.Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms.But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water.Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaics (浮动光伏)”.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs worldwide.They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels.The answer was surprisingly large—more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year.And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.The researchers described the results as “remarkable”.
The scientists found that floatovoltaics would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less).The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need.
Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发)from reservoirs.The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs' surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year.There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea.Photovoltaic panels work better when they're not extremely hot.The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.Putting solar panels on water also means that there's no need to clear land for a solar farm.That's more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板——既能发电又能节约水,同时保护野生生物(生存)的自然空间。
8.What did the researchers think of the study results?
A.Skeptical. B.Amazing.
C.Worrying. D.Interesting.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The answer was surprisingly large”及“The researchers described the results as‘remarkable’.”可知,研究人员认为这些结果是“非凡的”, remarkable 与 amazing的意思相近,故选B。
9.Where should floating solar panels be placed to make them extremely helpful?
A.In small cities with more rain and less sunshine.
B.In huge cities with many small lakes and rivers.
C.In tiny cities near reservoirs with less than 50,000 people.
D.In large cities far from reservoirs with more than 50,000 people.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The scientists found that floatovoltaics would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less).”可知,在不超过5万人的城市,浮动光伏是尤其有用的。故选C。
10.Why is covering reservoirs with floating solar panels useful?
A.It can help reduce water evaporation.
B.It can prevent water from being polluted.
C.It purifies the water available for consumption.
D.It provides enough sunlight for the solar panels.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation(蒸发) from reservoirs.”可知,用浮动太阳能板覆盖水库可以帮助减少水的蒸发。故选A。
11.What's the best title for the text?
A.The Methods of Using Floatovoltaics
B.The Prospects of the Power Industry
C.Solar Farms—Turning Sunlight Into Electricity
D.Floating Solar Panels—Making Energy, Saving Water
答案:D
解析:标题归纳题。文章第一段指出:科学家们发现,如果将浮动的太阳能电池板放置在世界各地的湖泊和其他水域的表面上,它们可以提供大量的电力。浮动的太阳能电池板也有助于节约水和保护土地。结合下文中对浮动太阳能板的介绍可知,文章主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板——既能发电又能节约水。所以 D项为本文的最佳标题,既与本文的内容一致,又概括了本文的主题。

If you could work from any location in the world, where would you go? Picture filling in a spreadsheet on a sandy Caribbean island, or maybe a little rooftop cafe in Rome where you can sip great coffee while editing a social media video.More and more countries are offering digital nomad(游牧民)visas and therefore the chance to work remotely, from wherever you'd like to.
This trend is growing, with a 2023 report indicating 11% of US workers identifying themselves as digital nomads, a figure projected to rise by over 20 million in five years.Initially, digital nomads were mostly freelancers like social media managers or software developers, but now even traditional professionals like accountants and lawyers are embracing this lifestyle.But what is the life of a digital nomad really like?
Rowena Hennigan, who writes for Harvard Business Review, is a digital nomad along with her family.They have a“home base”in Spain but frequently go away for workcations that can last from weeks to months.She says,“Compared to a traditional model of raising children, remote working has allowed my family to move away from that kind of intensity, and this way, we all get to move at a more sustainable and healthy pace.” Plus, her family are regularly exposed to new cultures, languages and natural beauty.
However, it doesn't work for everyone.Francesca Specter, a writer for The Guardian, decided to country-hop and her“office”included beaches, cafes and coworking spaces.But along with struggling to find reliable wi-fi and fighting terrible loneliness, she wrote that she felt envious as she cooled her overheating laptop in the shade while holidaymakers relaxed by the pool.She said,“I was fighting against dull concerns, such as missing luggage or sleep loss after an overnight flight delay.”
So, it's not for everyone, but if you ever feel like escaping the rat race, why not give it a go?
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。随着越来越多的国家提供数字游民签证,更多人有机会远程工作。文中讲述了数字游民数量的增长,列举了数字游民的生活实例,也提到了这种生活方式存在的问题,最后引发读者思考是否尝试这种生活方式。
12.What is the advantage of being a digital nomad according to the text?
A.A higher income.
B.A better work-life balance.
C.A flexible work location.
D.A faster career promotion.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段,尤其是“the chance to work remotely, from wherever you'd like to”可知,数字游民可以随时随地远程工作,即工作地点灵活。故选C项。
13.Who was probably a digital nomad originally?
A.A blogger. B.A lawyer.
C.An athlete. D.An accountant.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的“Initially, digital nomads were mostly freelancers like social media managers or software developers”可知,最初数字游民主要是像社交媒体经理或软件开发人员这样的自由职业者。结合常识,博主属于自由职业者。故选A项。
14.What does the underlined word “workcations” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Changing jobs frequently.
B.Working while on vacation.
C.Touring in different countries.
D.Taking breaks between jobs.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。第三段首句说Rowena Hennigan和她家人都是数字游民;再结合画线词所在句的句意可知,他们在西班牙有一个“家”,但经常出去进行为期数周到数月的“workcations”。结合他们是数字游民以及通过构词法知识可推知,画线词的含义应是“在度假时工作”。故选B项。
15.What is the author's attitude towards digital nomads?
A.Oppositive. B.Supportive.
C.Dismissive. D.Indifferent.
答案:B
解析:观点态度题。通读全文,尤其是第三段和最后一段可知,作者描述了数字游民这种生活方式的好处,并承认这种生活方式不适合所有人,但还是鼓励那些想逃离激烈竞争的人尝试,所以作者对数字游民的态度是支持的。故选B项。

What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement? 4( ) The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be.Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you.Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why.
Rome was not built in a day.5( ) It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life's challenges.
