The Teen Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)course arms teenagers with strategies to
lend a hand to peers weighed down by mental troubles.When a friend or classmate is
overwhelmed by emotional pain or stuck in a frightening mental health emergency,young
learners will know how to provide initial support and accompany them through the hard time
until professional assistance steps in or the tough situation eases off.

My teacher was one of the people I most wanted to see whenever I visited New York
City.Usually I'd call her as soon as I was settled,and it was thrilling to hear her voice and
then to arrange a meeting time.But in 2024,when I turned 75 and she was 96,I put off
making the call.Each time I thought about phoning her,I feared that when I said my name,
she would say,“Who?
I first met Lore Segal in 1975,when I took her writing elass at Columbia University.
Back then,all I knew about her was that she'd recently lost her husband.I hadn't known that
when she was a little girl,her family went through a series of ups and downs and that at 10
years old,she was even transported alone all the way to England,where she drifted between
different temporary homes.
Small and self-confident,Lore had a pale face and curly hair.She was particular,her
whole manner changing when someone expressed something pompous(言辞浮夸的)or
emotional.She said firmly that no one ever again needed to describe someone drinking
coffee or getting into and out of a car.She also stated that for a reader to remember a
particular detail,you had to write it one and a half times,a rule both impossible to follow and
true.When she leaned toward a text,I saw the obvious pleasure she took in sharing a passage
and felt the pleasure welling up in me.
Lore held student conferences at her apartment near school.When it was my turn,we
sat beside each other and she went page by page through my novel-in-progress manuscript.
No one had ever before read my work so closely or seen anything special in me.And now
came this extraordinary moment:my teacher was reading my words and laughing.
24.Why did the author delay calling Lore in 2024?
A.Lore refused to meet him
B.He was fully occupied with work.
C.He lost interest in meeting her.
D.He worried she might forget him.
25.What do we know about Lore's childhood?
A.She travelled a lot alone.
B.She weathered bitter blows.
C.She lived in a fixed house.
D.She taught writing in England.
26.What can we infer about Lore's attitude towards writing?
A.She thought short articles work best.
B.She hated all daily scene descriptions
C.She ignored students'writing faults.
D.She prized plain and meaningful writing.
27.How did the author feel during one-on-one talks?
A.Inspired and valued.
B.Shy and awkward.
C.Calm and indifferent.
D.Nervous and uneasy.
C
If someone asked whether you like the arts,you'd probably say you do at least in theory.
According to a survey,more than two-thirds of U.S.adults say the arts"lift me up beyond
everyday experiences".However,only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017;23
percent went to an art museum.Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day
responsibilities,leaving our schedule packed.Maybe you like to play a little background
music while you work or do the chores,but even before the pandemic,most of us rarely,if
ever,saw a live performance,let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often,we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts.But this is a mistake.
The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality;they might just be the most realistic
glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life.If you make time for consuming and
producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family
commitments,I assure you that you'll find your life getting fuller and happier.Think of a
time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry.Or maybe your dizziness struck as
you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city.There you found yourself in a
beautiful town square as if in a fantasy.They probably stimulated a sudden awakening,much
like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and
participate in,you might see them as a luxury item,while a preferable attitude is to treat the
arts less like a distracting pleasure,and more like exercise or sleep,a necessity.Then draw
up a schedule of your art exposure journey,and gradually weave the arts into your everyday
life.
28.What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text?
A.Lack of interest.
B.Avoidance of duty
C.Shortage of time.
D.Art space inaccessibility.
29.What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text?
A.They explore mysteries of life.
B.They spark emotional responses.
C.They enhance physical well-being.
D.They offer a getaway from daily life
30.What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A.Barriers to combine the arts and life
B.Benefits of engaging with the arts
C.Forms of distracting pleasures.
D.Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine.
31.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.The Arts Journey:Refreshing Soul
B.The Arts Pursuit:Transforming Dull into Full
C.Embracing the Arts:From Luxury to Necessity
D.Connecting with the Arts:From Reality to Fantasy
D
Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (camera using AI and
quantum technologies to remotely detect a person's heartbeat,potentially changing health
monitoring.Professor Faccio imagines various applications,such as setting up this
technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes.These monitors could
be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects,such as blood pressure and
slight changes in movement,indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer's.
Monitoring a person's heartbeat from a distance holds significant value,as it can detect
irregularities like abnormal heart rates,providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues.
In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes(听诊器),this system overcomes limitations
associated with proper stethoscope usage,such as the need for training and the potential
reduction of heartbeat signals.
The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can
record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second.A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a
person's throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising
and falling as their main artery (expands and contracts as blood is forced through it.
These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.
Such acuity is striking,though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not
be enough to track a heartbeat.Other,much larger movements occur on a person's chest-
from their breathing,for example-which would flood signals from their heartbeat.
"That is where AI comes in,"Faccio said."We use advanced computing systems to
separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person's heartbeat.We know the
frequency range of the human heartbeat,and the AI focuses on that.The prime use of this
technology-which we hope to have ready next year-will be to measure heartbeats easily
and quickly outside hospitals.The benefits could be considerable."
32.What can the laser camera be used for?
A.Improving the usage of stethoscope.
B.Measuring blood pressure remotely.
C.Recording images of the human throat.
D.Detecting a person's heartbeat from a distance.
33.What does paragraph 3 focus on as for this system?
A.How it works.
B.Where it is used.
C.Whom it benefits.
D.What it is composed of.
34.Which is closest in meaning to "acuity"in paragraph 4?
A.Consistency.
B.Complexity
C.Sensitivity.
D.Intensity.
35.What role does AI play in this system?
A.To measure skin movements.
B.To recognize heartbeat vibrations.
C.To record images at high speeds.
D.To shine a laser beam on the skin.

How to Sleep on a Plane
In addition to being 35,000 feet in the sky,it's understandable that the noise and light
on planes can make it challenging to relax and truly fall asleep.
36 With these
smart tips for how to sleep on a plane,you'll be slipping into dreamland in no time.
Book a window seat if you're flying economy.
For many fliers in standard economy,booking a window seat is the best option for
getting some sleep on a plane.It's easier to fall asleep when you can rest your head on the
window,and won't be woken up by a fellow passenger headed to the bathroom.37
Prioritize sleep before a long-distance flight.
When we cross time zones,our internal clock can struggle to keep up.It can only catch
up by around an hour or so each day.If you're flying into a new time zone,start adjusting
your sleep schedule a few days before your flight,in gradual 20-to 30-minute intervals(
隔).
38 It depends on which way you're headed.
39
Specifically,limit your use of electronic devices anywhere close to bedtime whether
that's in your preparation phase in the days leading up to your trip or during your time on the
plane.The blue light from screens signals to your brain that it's daytime,making it harder to
relax and feel sleepy.
Bring a light-blocking eye mask.
Whether it's an open shade,inner lighting or your neighbor's reading light,well-lit
flights can prevent restful sleep.40Just block it out.Invest in a soft,comfortable
light-blocking eye mask,which provides just a small amount of pressure to help relax your
nerves.It also signals to flight attendants that you don't want to be disturbed.
A.Limit your use of electronics.
B.But frustrated fliers,don't worry!
C.Mind the risk the blue light may pose.
D.Want to know how to sleep on a plane with bright light?
E.This means creating an earlier or later bedtime or wake-up time.
F.So your preparation for a long-distance flight should start days before you fly.
G.The disadvantage is that you have to wake a sleeping seatmate when the need arises.

47.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。
Any day when I had to travel by air was the worst day of my life,but as a salesman,I
had to fly quite a bit.On this particular day in 2024,I was assigned to a middle seat.
Unfortunately,I was so fat that I couldn't fit down the aisle facing forward,so I was forced
to walk sideways like a crab.My weight varied between 340 and 360 pounds,depending on
whether to take it before or after one of my enormous meals.When finally squeezing into my
seat,I found the seat belt wasn't long enough to fit around my 52-inch waist.
At that moment,I was stricken by an intense desire to lose weight.I began looking for
signs which would guide me toward a better life,and instantly a sign showed up.At the
switch of TV,I happened to see an interview with a former world athlete.He said that a
doctor put him on a whole-food,plant-based diet and offered a good care of him.He lost
weight without feeling hungry,and he was healthier and stronger than he'd been since his
twenties.I never imagined my sign would come from him,but there he was.
I didn't know what a "whole-food,plant-based diet"means.I went online and searched
for a doctor who could help me.That's how I found Robert,an experienced medical
specialist.Hope fell on me when he promised to see me the next day.The doctor
recommended a low calorie diet and some physical exercises to do in my home.He also
made a suggestion that I should go to a shelter and adopt a dog."Excuse me?"I couldn't
believe what he said.But,he added,"A dog is a good companion.While you live in an
apartment,the dog has to be walked.Walking your dog twice a day will be your exercise.
I'm sure it can improve not only your health but also the quality of your life."
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。
Paragraph 1:
With disbelief and hesitation,I drove up to a dog shelter near where I lived.
