Moving to the United Kingdom is rarely what the movies show. Red telephone boxes and gentlemen in long coats sound romantic — until you go through the reality. After spending over a year here, I’ve found that living in Britain is a slow but deeply inspiring experience.
The first thing that confirms itself to you is the weather. A continuous light rain keeps you company for weeks. The sky never quite clears, and darkness falls by mid-afternoon in winter. Residents don’t bother with umbrellas; they wear waterproof jackets and simply carry on.
Then there’s the famous British politeness. People say “sorry” if you knock into them and thank the bus driver. But this warmth is a performance of good manners, not an invitation to friendship. You can chat with a neighbor for twenty minutes and still never learn their name. The British protect their privacy like a fortress (堡垒), and crossing that boundary feels rude.
The systems here work — slowly, but they work. The NHS provides convenient access to healthcare, though getting an appointment can take weeks. Bank accounts, tax numbers, and housing permits all require patience. As one friend put it, “Everything in Britain requires a queue — even getting sick.”
But over time, you start appreciating its quiet pace. You learn to enjoy walks by yourself along the landscape, to find comfort in a proper cup of tea, and to value small moments of genuine warmth.
Living in the UK won’t hand you a fairytale. But it will teach you patience and strength. And perhaps that’s the real benefit of life abroad — not discovering a perfect place, but building a stronger version of yourself within an imperfect one.
4. What do British residents typically do in the rain?
A. They always carry an umbrella. B. They stay indoors all day long.
C. They wear water-resistant clothing. D. They complain about the weather.
5. What can be inferred about British politeness?
A. People keep a private distance. B. People rarely say “sorry” in daily life.
C. People display friendship by being polite. D. People may stay unknown after casual chats.
6. What does the author imply about the NHS in the text?
A. It is completely inefficient and useless. B. It is accessible but requires long waits.
C. It serves only bank accounts and permits. D. It offers immediate medical service.
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To encourage more people to go to the UK. B. To complain about the bad life in Britain.
C. To share his real-life experience and insight. D. To introduce weather and medical system of UK.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在英国生活一年多的真实体验,感悟到慢节奏生活能锤炼个人心性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Residents don’t bother with umbrellas; they wear waterproof jackets and simply carry on.(居民们不带伞,他们穿防水夹克,直接继续前行)”可知,英国居民在雨天通常穿着防水衣物。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Then there’s the famous British politeness. People say “sorry” if you knock into them and thank the bus driver. But this warmth is a performance of good manners, not an invitation to friendship. You can chat with a neighbor for twenty minutes and still never learn their name. The British protect their privacy like a fortress (堡垒), and crossing that boundary feels rude.(还有著名的英国礼貌。如果你撞到别人,对方会说“对不起”,而且人们会感谢公交车司机。但这种热情其实是一种礼仪表演,并非交友的邀请。你可以和邻居聊二十分钟,却仍然从来不知道他们的名字。英国人像堡垒一样保护自己的隐私,跨越这道界限感觉很不礼貌)”可知,尽管英国人表面礼貌,但实际上人们保持着私人社交距离。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The NHS provides convenient access to healthcare, though getting an appointment can take weeks.(英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)提供了便捷的医疗服务,但预约可能需要数周时间)”可知,作者暗示该体系虽然可及,但需要漫长的等待。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后一段“Living in the UK won’t hand you a fairytale. But it will teach you patience and strength. And perhaps that’s the real benefit of life abroad — not discovering a perfect place, but building a stronger version of yourself within an imperfect one.(在英国生活不会给你童话般的际遇,但会教会你耐心与坚强。也许,这就是在国外生活的真正益处——不是发现一个完美的地方,而是在一个不完美的地方中塑造出更强大的自己)”可知,作者旨在通过分享自己在英国的亲身经历与生活感悟,向读者传达真实的异国生活感悟。
C
What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement depends on ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual(智力的)struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while addressing a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance after-intervention, compared to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By recognizing a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情)with the scientists during their own struggles.
8. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They are short of confidence.
C. They don’t have inborn talent. D. They have no ability to study science.
9. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
10. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A. minimal B. noticeable C. doubtful D. long-lasting
11. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员向九年级和十年级的学生提出“什么样的人可以成为科学家”这个问题时,几乎每个学生的回答都是“努力学习的人”或“对科学领域感兴趣的人”。为了解除这种误解,研究人员设计了一项干预,即了解更多关于科学家的奋斗可以帮助学生更有动力学习科学,结果发现,听过任何一种“奋斗故事”的学生在干预后的科学表现都有所提高。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as ‘I’m not good at science’ and ‘Even if I work hard, I will not do well.’ It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.(同样是这些学生中的许多人都很难将自己想象成科学家,理由是“我不擅长科学”和“即使我努力工作,也不会做得很好”。他们很容易将科学家的工作视为天生的才能。)”可知,这些学生认为能够成为科学家是天生的才能,“自己不擅长”或“即使努力也无法做好”这样的理由可以看作为他们缺乏自信,从而很难将自己想象成科学家。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.(教师学院、哥伦比亚大学和华盛顿大学的研究人员设计了一种干预措施,让学生了解有成就的科学家在科学努力中如何努力和克服挑战的故事,从而改变学生们认为科学成就反映的是能力而不是努力的观念。)”可知,这项干预通过让学生们了解科学家们是如何努力奋斗克服挑战的,以澄清学生对科学工作的误解。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。分析可知,非限制性定语从句“for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. (对他们来说,接触奋斗故事比阅读成就故事的成绩差的学生在科学课上表现更好)”的先行词为“lower performing students(成绩差的学生)”,因此可知,在“干预”后,接触奋斗故事的成绩差的学生和阅读成就故事的成绩差的学生在科学课上都有了好的表现,且二者之间通过对比出现了“更好”,由此可推知,干预对于成绩差的学生效果显著,因此,“The effect was especially pronounced”应是“效果显著”的意思,由此可推知,“pronounced”应是“明显的,显著的”含义,与选项B“noticeable(显而易见的)”含义相同。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾内容“By recognizing a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize (共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.(通过认识科学家的奋斗,并介绍他或她在完成伟大工作时所运用的成长心态,学生们能够在科学家的奋斗过程中感同身受。)”可知,通过了解一个科学家的奋斗史,学生们使得自己在奋斗过程中能够产生与科学家的共鸣,从而能够改变之前的对于科学家工作的误解。由此可推知,科学家的奋斗故事可以影响读者的信念。故选C项。
D
It’s not surprising that many people fear the dentist. Replacing a tooth often requires invasive surgery and implanting (种植)a titanium (钛)screw into a patient’s jawbone, then waiting months for that to strengthen into an artificial root, before attaching a crown or cap on top of it. But research groups around the world are working to find ways to implant and grow real biological teeth in a human jaw.
That may be a way off, but at King’s College London, Ana Angelova Volponi has been experimenting with lab-grown teeth for almost two decades, and was part of a team that in 2013 grew a tooth from human and mouse cells. This year, she led a study that built upon that work and achieved a breakthrough in the material used to house the growing tooth in the lab, which better mimics the actual environment where biological teeth grow in the mouth. It’s a key step on the way to replacing the mouse cells with human cells and stimulating them to form a tooth.
The idea of creating lab-grown tooth dates back to the 1980s, Volponi said, but the one that she and her colleagues created over a decade ago was the first that used adult human gingival (牙龈的)cells and combined them with tooth cells taken from a mouse embryo (胚胎).
“It’s almost like a tripod (三脚架),” she said about the elements that contribute to growing a tooth in a lab setting. “The two types of cells are engaging in tooth making, in a sort of conversation, and then we have the environment where this happens.”
Researchers still don’t know exactly how to replace the embryonic mouse cells with adult human cells, but if that puzzle is solved, Volponi envisions two possible ways to integrate lab-grown teeth into everyday dentistry: “We either grow a tooth up to a certain stage of development, and then put it into the tooth socket where a lost tooth was. Or, we fully grow the tooth first and then implant it surgically. It’s still too early to say which approach will be better.”
12. The author mentions “invasive surgery” in the first paragraph to ________.
A. criticize outdated dental techniques
B. compare different types of dental surgeries
C. explain the complexity of traditional dental procedures
D. highlight the need for alternative tooth replacement solutions
13. What does the underlined word “mimics” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. Imitates. B. Creates. C. Displays. D. Improves.
14. The author implies that the use of adult human cells in lab-grown teeth ________.
A. has already been achieved by Volponi’s team
B. is the biggest remaining challenge in the research
C. is less effective than using mouse embryonic cells
D. will end the need for a supporting environment
15. What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. Challenges in traditional dental implants.
B. Advances in lab-grown biological teeth research.
C. Problems in implanting real biological teeth.
D. Methods to replace mouse embryos with humans’.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍传统种植牙手术的局限性,以及全球研究团队在实验室培育生物牙齿方面的研究进展与未来应用方向。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Replacing a tooth often requires invasive surgery and implanting (种植) a titanium (钛) screw into a patient’s jawbone, then waiting months for that to strengthen into an artificial root, before attaching a crown or cap on top of it. But research groups around the world are working to find ways to implant and grow real biological teeth in a human jaw..(种植牙通常需要进行侵入性手术:先将一枚钛金属螺钉植入患者的颌骨,等待数月待其稳固形成人工牙根后,再在顶端安装牙冠。但全球各地的研究团队正致力于寻找在人类颌骨中植入并培育真正生物牙齿的方法。)”可知,作者提及“侵入性手术”是为了突出传统种植牙技术的不足,进而强调寻找替代牙齿修复方案的必要性。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“This year, she led a study that built upon that work and achieved a breakthrough in the material used to house the growing tooth in the lab, which better mimics the actual environment where biological teeth grow in the mouth.(今年,她主导了一项基于该研究的后续探索,在实验室培育牙齿的载体材料方面取得了突破性进展 —— 这种材料能更精准地mimics口腔内生物牙齿生长的真实环境。)”可知,实验室培育牙齿需要模拟真实口腔环境,因此“mimics”意为“模仿”。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Researchers still don’t know exactly how to replace the embryonic mouse cells with adult human cells, but if that puzzle is solved...(研究人员仍未完全明确如何用成人人类细胞替代小鼠胚胎细胞,但如果这个难题得到解决……)”可知,用成人人类细胞培育牙齿是目前研究中尚未解决的关键问题,即最大的剩余挑战。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,以及第二段“That may be a way off, but at King’s College London, Ana Angelova Volponi has been experimenting with lab-grown teeth for almost two decades, and was part of a team that in 2013 grew a tooth from human and mouse cells. This year, she led a study that built upon that work and achieved a breakthrough in the material used to house the growing tooth in the lab, which better mimics the actual environment where biological teeth grow in the mouth. It’s a key step on the way to replacing the mouse cells with human cells and stimulating them to form a tooth.(虽然这一目标尚需时日,但在伦敦国王学院,安娜・安杰洛娃・沃尔波尼已深耕实验室培育牙齿领域近二十年 —— 她曾是 2013 年那支利用人类细胞与小鼠细胞培育出牙齿的团队核心成员。今年,她主导了一项基于该成果的后续研究,在实验室牙齿培育的载体材料上取得突破性进展:这种材料能更精准地模拟口腔内生物牙齿的真实生长环境。这一步骤至关重要,为后续用人类细胞替代小鼠细胞、并诱导其分化形成牙齿奠定了基础)”可知,文章先介绍传统种植牙的局限性,再重点阐述伦敦国王学院Volponi团队在实验室培育生物牙齿的研究历程(2013年成果、今年材料突破)、核心要素及未来应用设想。所以短文主要关于实验室培育生物牙齿的研究进展。故选B项。

Building confidence can be difficult, especially when you are faced with failure or mistakes. Fortunately, whether you lack confidence or struggle to feel confident about anything, there are several ways that can help you.
Stop comparing yourself to others.
While making comparisons is natural, they often lead to envy (嫉妒). The more envy you have, the worse you feel about yourself. _____16_____. Then keep a thankful journal to help you call to mind the areas where you are favored, which can help you focus on your own life rather than others’.
_____17_____
The people you spend time with can influence your thoughts and attitudes about yourself, perhaps more than you realize. Surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you. Seek out others who are positive and can help build your confidence. ____18____
Practice positive self-talk.
Optimistic self-talk can help you overcome self-doubt and take on new challenges. Turn those negative thoughts around into more positive self-talk. For example, “I can’t do anything right” becomes “I can do better next time” or “_____19_____”. “I hate public speaking” becomes “I don’t like public speaking” and “Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.”
Set realistic goals.
Setting high-reaching goals and failing to achieve them would damage confidence levels. However, realistic goals are achievable. The more realistic goals are, the greater confidence you will have. For instance, if you have a goal of losing weight, losing one to two pounds per week is healthy and realistic. ____20____. Your self-confidence will be boosted when you hit it.
A. Surround yourself with positive people.
B. Mistakes are just stepping stones to progress.
C. Don’t let other people determine who you are.
D. Keep a positive circle of supportive close friends.
E. Remember that everyone is running their own race.
F. Self-confidence and a positive attitude go hand in hand.
G. Knowing this helps you set a goal in line with this guideline.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以帮助人们建立自信的方法,包括停止与他人比较、与积极的人相处、进行积极的自我对话、设定现实的目标等。
【16题详解】
小标题“Stop comparing yourself to others. (停止将自己与他人比较)”,下文“Then keep a thankful journal to help you call to mind the areas where you are favored, which can help you focus on your own life rather than others’. (然后,写一本感恩日记来帮助你回忆自己所拥有的优点方面,这有助于你将注意力集中在自己的生活上,而非他人的生活上。)”建议写感恩日记,关注自己被偏爱的方面,而不是关注他人。由此可知,空格处应与停止比较自己和他人相关,D项“Keep a positive circle of supportive close friends. (保持一个由支持你的亲密朋友组成的积极圈子。)”虽然未直接提及停止比较,但保持积极的朋友圈可以减少与他人比较的倾向,且与后文关注自身生活的建议相呼应,通过积极的朋友关系来强化自我认知,减少外界比较的影响,符合语境。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据下文“The people you spend time with can influence your thoughts and attitudes about yourself, perhaps more than you realize. Surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you. Seek out others who are positive and can help build your confidence. (你所相处的人能够影响你对自己想法和态度的形成,其影响力可能超出你的想象。让自己与那些爱你、希望你一切顺利的人为伍。寻找那些积极向上、能够帮助你建立自信的人。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是与积极的人相处对建立自信的重要性,A项“Surround yourself with positive people. (与积极的人在一起。)”概括了本段主旨,符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
上文“Seek out others who are positive and can help build your confidence. (寻找那些积极向上、能够帮助你建立自信的人。)” F项“Self-confidence and a positive attitude go hand in hand. (自信和积极的态度是相辅相成的。)”进一步阐述了自信和积极态度之间的关系,说明与积极的人相处能带来积极的态度,从而增强自信,符合语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
上文“For example, ‘I can’t do anything right’ becomes ‘I can do better next time’ (例如,“我什么都做不好”会变成“下次我会做得更好的”)”给出了将消极自我对话转变为积极自我对话的例子,B项“Mistakes are just stepping stones to progress. (错误只是进步的垫脚石)”是对积极自我对话的进一步解释,说明错误并非不可接受,而是可以转化为进步的动力,符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“For instance, if you have a goal of losing weight, losing one to two pounds per week is healthy and realistic. (例如,如果你的目标是减肥,每周减重一到两磅是健康且切实可行的。)”给出了设定现实目标的例子,G项“Knowing this helps you set a goal in line with this guideline. (了解这一点有助于你设定符合这一准则的目标。)”中的“this”指代上文提到的每周减重一到两磅是健康且现实的目标,说明了解这一准则有助于设定符合实际的目标,符合语境。故选G。

【34题详解】
考查动词。句意:就在那小小的宽慰中,我瞥见了更深远的意义:变老常常意味着被时代抛在后面,但那个耐心的AI改变了这一点。A. proved证明;B. confirmed确认;C. shifted改变,转变;D. worsened恶化。根据上文作者通过AI成功解决问题的经历可知,AI“改变了”他被抛在后面的感觉。
【35题详解】
考查动词。句意:我仍在学习拥抱意外,即使它来自一台机器。A. recognize识别;B. embrace拥抱,接受;C. resist抵抗;D. question质疑。根据前文讲述作者从抗拒科技到接受AI帮助和“Far from making me feel incompetent, it actually praised my cache question, calling it “excellent.””可推知,AI改变了作者的认知,作者开始“接受”AI带来的意外。

Moving to the United Kingdom is rarely what the movies show. Red telephone boxes and gentlemen in long coats sound romantic — until you go through the reality. After spending over a year here, I’ve found that living in Britain is a slow but deeply inspiring experience.
The first thing that confirms itself to you is the weather. A continuous light rain keeps you company for weeks. The sky never quite clears, and darkness falls by mid-afternoon in winter. Residents don’t bother with umbrellas; they wear waterproof jackets and simply carry on.
Then there’s the famous British politeness. People say “sorry” if you knock into them and thank the bus driver. But this warmth is a performance of good manners, not an invitation to friendship. You can chat with a neighbor for twenty minutes and still never learn their name. The British protect their privacy like a fortress (堡垒), and crossing that boundary feels rude.
The systems here work — slowly, but they work. The NHS provides convenient access to healthcare, though getting an appointment can take weeks. Bank accounts, tax numbers, and housing permits all require patience. As one friend put it, “Everything in Britain requires a queue — even getting sick.”
But over time, you start appreciating its quiet pace. You learn to enjoy walks by yourself along the landscape, to find comfort in a proper cup of tea, and to value small moments of genuine warmth.
Living in the UK won’t hand you a fairytale. But it will teach you patience and strength. And perhaps that’s the real benefit of life abroad — not discovering a perfect place, but building a stronger version of yourself within an imperfect one.
4. What do British residents typically do in the rain?
A. They always carry an umbrella. B. They stay indoors all day long.
C. They wear water-resistant clothing. D. They complain about the weather.
5. What can be inferred about British politeness?
A. People keep a private distance. B. People rarely say “sorry” in daily life.
C. People display friendship by being polite. D. People may stay unknown after casual chats.
6. What does the author imply about the NHS in the text?
A. It is completely inefficient and useless. B. It is accessible but requires long waits.
C. It serves only bank accounts and permits. D. It offers immediate medical service.
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To encourage more people to go to the UK. B. To complain about the bad life in Britain.
C. To share his real-life experience and insight. D. To introduce weather and medical system of UK.
C
What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement depends on ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual(智力的)struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while addressing a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance after-intervention, compared to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By recognizing a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情)with the scientists during their own struggles.
8. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They are short of confidence.
C. They don’t have inborn talent. D. They have no ability to study science.
9. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
10. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A. minimal B. noticeable C. doubtful D. long-lasting
11. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
D
It’s not surprising that many people fear the dentist. Replacing a tooth often requires invasive surgery and implanting (种植)a titanium (钛)screw into a patient’s jawbone, then waiting months for that to strengthen into an artificial root, before attaching a crown or cap on top of it. But research groups around the world are working to find ways to implant and grow real biological teeth in a human jaw.
That may be a way off, but at King’s College London, Ana Angelova Volponi has been experimenting with lab-grown teeth for almost two decades, and was part of a team that in 2013 grew a tooth from human and mouse cells. This year, she led a study that built upon that work and achieved a breakthrough in the material used to house the growing tooth in the lab, which better mimics the actual environment where biological teeth grow in the mouth. It’s a key step on the way to replacing the mouse cells with human cells and stimulating them to form a tooth.
The idea of creating lab-grown tooth dates back to the 1980s, Volponi said, but the one that she and her colleagues created over a decade ago was the first that used adult human gingival (牙龈的)cells and combined them with tooth cells taken from a mouse embryo (胚胎).
“It’s almost like a tripod (三脚架),” she said about the elements that contribute to growing a tooth in a lab setting. “The two types of cells are engaging in tooth making, in a sort of conversation, and then we have the environment where this happens.”
Researchers still don’t know exactly how to replace the embryonic mouse cells with adult human cells, but if that puzzle is solved, Volponi envisions two possible ways to integrate lab-grown teeth into everyday dentistry: “We either grow a tooth up to a certain stage of development, and then put it into the tooth socket where a lost tooth was. Or, we fully grow the tooth first and then implant it surgically. It’s still too early to say which approach will be better.”
12. The author mentions “invasive surgery” in the first paragraph to ________.
A. criticize outdated dental techniques
B. compare different types of dental surgeries
C. explain the complexity of traditional dental procedures
D. highlight the need for alternative tooth replacement solutions
13. What does the underlined word “mimics” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A. Imitates. B. Creates. C. Displays. D. Improves.
14. The author implies that the use of adult human cells in lab-grown teeth ________.
A. has already been achieved by Volponi’s team
B. is the biggest remaining challenge in the research
C. is less effective than using mouse embryonic cells
D. will end the need for a supporting environment
15. What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. Challenges in traditional dental implants.
B. Advances in lab-grown biological teeth research.
C. Problems in implanting real biological teeth.
D. Methods to replace mouse embryos with humans’.

Building confidence can be difficult, especially when you are faced with failure or mistakes. Fortunately, whether you lack confidence or struggle to feel confident about anything, there are several ways that can help you.
Stop comparing yourself to others.
While making comparisons is natural, they often lead to envy (嫉妒). The more envy you have, the worse you feel about yourself. _____16_____. Then keep a thankful journal to help you call to mind the areas where you are favored, which can help you focus on your own life rather than others’.
_____17_____
The people you spend time with can influence your thoughts and attitudes about yourself, perhaps more than you realize. Surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you. Seek out others who are positive and can help build your confidence. ____18____
Practice positive self-talk.
Optimistic self-talk can help you overcome self-doubt and take on new challenges. Turn those negative thoughts around into more positive self-talk. For example, “I can’t do anything right” becomes “I can do better next time” or “_____19_____”. “I hate public speaking” becomes “I don’t like public speaking” and “Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.”
Set realistic goals.
Setting high-reaching goals and failing to achieve them would damage confidence levels. However, realistic goals are achievable. The more realistic goals are, the greater confidence you will have. For instance, if you have a goal of losing weight, losing one to two pounds per week is healthy and realistic. ____20____. Your self-confidence will be boosted when you hit it.
A. Surround yourself with positive people.
B. Mistakes are just stepping stones to progress.
C. Don’t let other people determine who you are.
D. Keep a positive circle of supportive close friends.
