阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Chen Yao was the kind of student who always sat at the back of the classroom, resting his chin(下巴)on his hand and staring out of the window while his classmates bent over their notebooks, taking careful notes. His teachers often __16__ that he lacked motivation(动力), and his report card, term after term, was covered with the same discouraging comments: "could do better," "needs to __17__ more in class," and "appears uninterested in schoolwork." The general __18__ that he was lazy and unambitious was about to change when the school announced its annual charity festival.
Each class was required to design and run a booth(摊位)to raise money for children living in remote mountain villages. While his classmates argued heatedly about what to sell, how much to charge, and how to decorate their booth, Chen Yao sat quietly in the corner, __19__ something on his tablet with a focus no one had ever seen in him.
After about ten minutes, he stood up, walked to the front, and turned the screen around. The room fell __20__. It was a detailed design of a booth shaped like a giant open book, complete with a glowing digital donation board that could track contributions in real time, a small stage for student performances, and even a suggestion box powered by a simple online form.
"Where did you learn to do this? This is truly remarkable," his teacher asked, genuinely __21__. "I've been teaching myself coding and graphic design(平面设计)online for nearly two years," Chen Yao replied __22__, scratching the back of his head and waving a hand as if it were no big deal. "It's really nothing special. I just never thought anyone would be interested in what I was doing."
The booth turned out to be an enormous(巨大的)__23__. On the day of the festival, long queues(队伍)snaked across the playground in front of the book-shaped booth, and the digital board lit up repeatedly with donations from students, parents, and visiting teachers. By the end of the afternoon, their class had raised more money than any other class in the school.
The experience taught everyone a valuable __24__ about the danger of judging people by their surface behaviour. Chen Yao was not lazy or __25__ at all; he simply thought and worked in a different way, one that the traditional classroom, with its emphasis on following rules and visible effort, had not yet learned to recognize or value.

三、阅读理解(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Last week, Year Nine students took part in the school's first Career Exploration Week, a five-day programme to help them understand how their personality might connect to future jobs.
The week began with a personality assessment(评估)taken by all 240 students. The results, studied by a team of career teachers, sorted students into six personality types: realistic, investigative(研究型的), artistic, social, enterprising(企业型的), and conventional(常规型的). "Many students had never thought about why some activities felt easy while others felt tiring," said Ms. Tang, the school's career teacher. "This test gave them a way to talk about those differences."
On Tuesday and Wednesday, people from twelve different jobs — including engineering, nursing, art design, computer programming, teaching, and accounting(会计)— visited the school to share their experiences. Students went to three forty-minute classes of their choice, where they could ask questions and try small tasks themselves. A computer engineer showed students how to build a simple app; a nurse showed how to take a patient's blood pressure; an accountant showed how a company's money is planned and recorded.
The best part of the week was Thursday's "Job Shadow" afternoon, when 180 students spent three hours at real workplaces around the city. Li Na, who said she was "quiet and careful with details," shadowed a forensic(司法的)accountant and came back deeply interested. "I never imagined accounting could be like solving puzzles," she said. "I always thought it was just about filling in forms."
Another student, Zhang Wei, had always thought he would become a doctor like his father. But after shadowing a paediatrician(儿科医生)for a day, he found that the job's emotional demands left him feeling tired rather than happy. "I'm a quiet person," he explained. "I need quiet time to get my energy back. I still want to help people, but maybe medical research would suit me better than seeing patients all day."
Friday ended with a reflection session. Students wrote short articles about what they had learned and how it might change their subject choices for senior high school. In a survey after the week, 87% of students said it helped them understand themselves better, and 72% said they were now considering jobs they had not known about before.
The school plans to hold Career Exploration Week every year and is building an online library so students can keep exploring all year. "Personality is not fate," Ms. Tang said at the end. "But knowing who you are — what makes you feel excited, what makes you feel tired, what makes you lose track of time — is the first step to making choices that truly fit you."
26. What is the main purpose of Career Exploration Week?
A. To help students choose their future careers immediately
B. To connect students' personality traits to possible careers
C. To train students for specific jobs in twelve fields
D. To test whether students have the right personality for work
27. What can be learned about the personality assessment?
A. It helped students understand why tasks feel differently easy or hard
B. It divided students into twelve different career fields
C. It was designed and carried out by the students themselves
D. It showed that most students shared the same personality type
28. Why does the author mention Li Na's experience?
A. To show that accounting is a better career than medicine
B. To prove that quiet students should all become accountants
C. To explain how forensic accounting differs from nursing
D. To illustrate(说明)how the Job Shadow changed a student's view
29. What did Zhang Wei discover about himself through the Job Shadow?
A. He no longer wanted to help other people at all
B. Medical research was much easier than clinical medicine
C. The emotional demands of seeing patients left him tired
D. His father had been completely wrong about a career in medicine
30. What does Ms. Tang mean by saying "Personality is not fate"?

B. Personality tests are unreliable and should be ignored entirely
C. Students should choose careers regardless of their personality
D. Only extroverts can achieve real and lasting career success
B
Like visible light, UV rays are energy waves released by the sun, only they cannot be seen. Some exposure(暴露)to those waves can do a body good. For example, ultraviolet B (UV-B) rays tell human skin to make vitamin D. Too much exposure can be harmful, though. Overexposure to UV rays can cause DNA problems, opening the door for skin cancer. Too much sun can also cause painful sunburns.
There are three different types of UV energy waves. They are UV-A, UV-B and UV-C rays. Each type moves at a different wavelength, with UV-A's being the longest. Rays of UV-C are considered especially harmful to human beings. Fortunately, we have the ozone(臭氧)layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It blocks out nearly all of the UV-C rays and most of the UV-B ones.
The moon doesn't have much of an atmosphere, though. Back on the moon, things are more dangerous. Over the years, astronauts have planted six American flags on the moon. Some scientists think that powerful UV rays could have bleached all the colorful flags white by now. For this reason, the moon is a dangerous place to visit without protection.
You might think that astronauts who visit the moon would come home with terrible sunburns. That didn't happen to Armstrong and his company. Neil Armstrong was a U.S. astronaut and the first person to walk on the moon. These astronauts all wore special spacesuits on their missions. Spacesuits were made with heavy fabrics that block out UV rays.
When Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface, he was wearing a see-through helmet(头盔) with sun shades that were made of ultraviolet-stabilized polycarbonate. It is a very tough plastic that protects astronauts' faces from UV rays. A weaker material could put the space travelers at risk for "snow blindness" and other problems. Conditions like these arise when UV rays damage parts of the human eyes.
Sunscreen (防晒霜) protects us from the UV rays that pass through the ozone layer. However, there's really no need for an astronaut to put on sunscreen. The risk of sunburn goes way down when astronauts are inside a spaceship. Inside the International Space Station (ISS), for example, there is no need for special suits. Astronauts regularly do their work in nothing but common cotton shirts and pants. To protect them from sunburns, the ISS uses UV-blocking windows. So do most space exploration ships.
31. From Paragraph 1, we can know ______.
A. UV-B is harmful to our body
B. vitamin D is good for our body
C. UV rays cause DNA problems
D. skin cancer is caused by the sun
32. The underlined word "bleach" in Paragraph 3 most probably means "______".
A. 漂白 B. 伤害 C. 刺穿 D. 吹拂
33. Armstrong didn't get bad sunburns mainly because ______.
A. there was no UV-C ray on the moon
B. the moon had an ozone layer like the earth
C. he wore a special spacesuit and helmet
D. he put on enough special sunscreen
34. According to the last paragraph, we can learn ______.
A. sunscreen plays a great role in protecting astronauts in space
B. astronauts have to do their work in special suits in the ISS
C. UV-blocking windows are regularly used on spaceships
D. the risk of sunburns increases when astronauts are in space
35. What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage?
A. To show how astronauts are protected from UV rays.
B. To introduce the first human who walked on the moon.
C. To describe the new technology used in space.
D. To show how we protect ourselves from sunburns.

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容完成表格。(每空限填一词)
Humans live in a society. Not only verbal(语言的)communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.
Body language is made up of things like facial expressions(面部表情), eye contact and body movements. In fact, it came to be used as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
Body language is so widely used that you may not realize that you are sending many messages to others, though you haven't said anything.
For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word "no" instead of saying the word. You might give a "thumbs up" to show that you like or agree with something. You might cross your fingers in the shape of a heart if you want to show love.
But since we are spending more time online, we may not have as many face-to-face communications as before. Because of this, our ways of non-verbal communication have changed, but it is still an important way to show our thoughts.
Our "digital(数字的)body language" is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. For example, instead of using voice messages, you can video chat with your friends to show them your smiling face.
Another way to express your feelings digitally is using emojis(表情符号).
"When we are communicating online, we are only showing the content and leaving out voices and facial expressions," Moitree Banerjee, a researcher at the University of Chichester in England, told Digital Trends. That's why emojis can help much in communication.
What body language is
• It is a way of expressing our thoughts and feelings __51__ using words.
• It __52 __ facial expressions, eye contact and body movements.
Traditional body language
Features
• It came to be used as a form of communication before people spoke or __53__.
• A lot of __54__ are sent to others though you have said nothing.
Examples
• Giving a "thumbs up" shows people's love or __55__.
• You can cross your fingers to __56__ the shape of a heart to represent love.
__57__ body language
Situation
It's becoming more important because we spend more time online and have __58__ face-to-face communications.
Examples
• Compared with voice messages, people __59__ video chatting to show their smiling faces.
• Emojis play an important role in online communication.
Conclusion
__60__ non-verbal communication may change in form, it's still very important to show people's thoughts and feelings.
