The National Cherry Blossom Festival Washington,D.C.,March 20-April 14 Eleven species of flowering cherry tree surround the Tidal Basin facing the Potomac River in National Capital Park.Their scenic blooms draw some 1.5 million people during the four-week celebration,which celebrates spring and international friendship.Events include a kite festival,parade,fireworks,and art installations. International Cherry Blossom Festival Macon,Georgia,March 15-24 Georgia's Macon-Bibb county has the largest concentration of cherry trees in any U.S. county-and boasts nearly one hundred times more than the National Mall in Washington,D.C.The area celebrates its blossoms with plant sales,a parade,concerts, and markets..The festival culminates with(以…告终)tethered hot air balloon rides and fireworks over downtown. Wooster Square Cherry Blossom Festival New Haven,Connecticut,April 14 The city's 70-odd cherry blossom trees-most planted in 1978-surround a rectangular park in downtown and form a tree tunnel over one block of Hughes Place.A single-day springtime celebration doesn't always coincide(同时发生)with the best blooms,but it does with the anniversary of the city's founding in 1638,and includes artist and author presentations,food vendors,and live music. Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival Marshfield,Missouri,April 25-28 Tiny Marshfield has a population of 7300 that blooms with its cherry blossoms each April.Instead of a traditional spring or international cultural festival,this cherry blossom gathering is a showcase of Americana and Missouri heritage beneath the town's beautiful blooms. 1.Which place hosts the longest cherry festival? A.Macon,Georgia. B.Washington,D.C. C.Marshfield,Missouri. D.New Haven,Connecticut. 单元过关（三）英语第1页（共8页） Your effort today shapes your tomorrow 2.What can people do during the Wooster Square Cherry Blossom Festival? 班级 A.Admire the best blossom there. B.Participate in a tree tunnel tour. C.Plant many cherry blossom trees. D.Watch artist and author displays. 3.What is the main focus of the Missouri Cherry Blossom Festival? 姓名 A.Celebrating some international cultures. B.Hosting a grand traditional spring festival. C.Presenting Americana and Missouri heritage. 得分 D.Promoting the growth of cherry blossom trees. B Over the past few weeks,I've been experiencing a bad fall,largely attributed to my ADHD(多动障碍)drugs running out.This has made it challenging for me to find the motivation to tackle daily tasks,including regular exercise. However,a recent workout led to an epiphany:neglecting physical activity was actually worsening my condition.It appears that engaging in physical activity could be an effective strategy for managing my ADHD symptoms while I await a prescription refill. After a workout,my mind feels quieter,much like when I take my medication.This makes sense as ADHD drugs increase levels of a brain medical called noradrenaline 肾上腺素)，enhancing focus,memory,.and impulse control..Exercise also increases this chemical. While these insights are promising,I'm not ready to stop my medication.Research on exercise and ADHD has mixed results.A 2023 review of 106 studies showed exercise significantly improves impulse control,attention,and task-switching in young people with ADHD.However,its impact on regulating emotions and working memory is less pronounced,and the benefits are even less for adults.In another study,10 minutes of exercise improved impulse control in 82 adults with ADHD but had no effect on other symptoms. These findings suggest that exercise has a modest effect on ADHD but highlight additional benefits beyond physical health.The evidence is particularly strong for depression and anxiety.A 2023 review of nearly 300 trials involving over 15,800 adults found physical activity as effective as talk therapy and medications in reducing symptoms. The benefit was stronger when combined with these treatments. Exercise may also alleviate symptoms of other mental health conditions,such as bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.It appears protective as well.A 2018 study of over 12 million adults found that those who exercised experienced 43 percent fewer days of poor mental health than those who didn't.The link was strongest for team sports,cycling,and aerobic and gym activities. I'm relieved to have found a strategy for managing my ADHD symptoms without medication.Even though exercising is the last thing I want to do when overwhelmed,I now realize its importance.The benefits of exercise for mental health are clear,and I'm committed to making it a priority in my life. 单元过关（三）英语第2页（共8页） A 4.What does the underlined part "an epiphany"most likely mean in Paragraph 2? A.A rush resolution or decision. B.A sense of disappointment. C.A sudden realization or insight. D.A moment of great happiness. 5.What role does exercise play according to the research findings presented in the text? A.Exercise is a perfect replacement for ADHD medication. B.Exercise has no effect on mental health conditions other than ADHD. C.Exercise can complement medication in managing ADHD symptoms.

B.Casual but focused. C.Reluctant but importance-aware. D.Negative but disciplined. 7.What can we learn from the experience with exercise and ADHD? A.Prevention is better than cure. B.Every cloud has a silver lining. C.A healthy outside starts from the inside. D.The body is a temple;the mind is a palace. There're plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets.But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh,consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home.The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets. Now,the food technology startup One-Third,located in the Netherlands,is looking to change that with an infrared（红外线)scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last.The startup is named One-Third because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage(变质)every year. The startup's founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food."I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce.One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life." founder and CEO of One-Third,Marco Snikkers said. Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually ()An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable. Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis.This means that a shipment of ripe tomatoes will not be sent long distances away. One-Third's scanner combines the technology of optical scanners,image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf life predictions. The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage."Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; A 单元过关（三）英语第3页（共8页） reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,"said Jacob Smith,a climate expert from the University of Maine. 8.What problem does One-Third aim to solve? A.The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables. B.Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers. C.Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life. D.Consumers'difficulty judging the freshness of produce. 9.What inspired One-Third to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner? A.The use of the device in another field. B.Observation of the food-supply chain. C.Consumer demands for fresher produce. D.Experts'advice on food waste reduction. 10.What can we learn about the manual quality inspections? A.They are time-consuming and costly. B.They are not performed at a regular time. C.The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement. D.The shipping time is not taken into consideration. 11.What's Jacob's attitude to One-Third's effort? A.Approving.B.Doubtful.C.Tolerant. D.Dismissive. 0 Why do some people feel such a strong bond with celebrities,and what does this reveal about their personality and values?A new study published in the International Journal of Psychology has found that people who strongly admire celebrities tend to score higher in both materialism and narcissism ()The study also found that people who perceive themselves as similar to their favorite celebrity are more likely to have these attitudes. The study,conducted by Davis,Locker,and Williams,recruited 215 undergraduates,mostly women,who completed a battery of questionnaires measuring their attitudes toward celebrities,materialistic values,and narcissistic tendencies. Participants also answered newly created questions that assessed how similar they felt to their favorite celebrity in terms of personality,appearance,or lifestyle. Celebrity worship was assessed with the Celebrity Attitude Scale ()Materialism was measured by examining how much value people place on owning things,how important possessions are to their identity,and whether they believe material goods make them happier.Narcissism was measured in two forms:grandiose narcissism (characterized by confidence,entitlement,and dominance)and vulnerable narcissism (marked by insecurity,sensitivity to criticism,and a preoccupation with self-image). The results showed a consistent relationship between celebrity worship and materialism.People who scored higher on celebrity worship also tended to place greater importance on money,status,and possessions.When it came to narcissism,only the vulnerable type,people with higher levels of emotional insecurity and self-focus,were 单元过关（三）英语第4页（共8页） more likely to feel strongly connected to celebrities.Most importantly,perceived similarity-whether in appearance,behavior,or personality-stood out as one of the strongest predictors of celebrity worship.The researchers concluded,"celebrity worship is a complex construct,but perceived similarity with a favorite celebrity and vulnerable narcissism may be fruitful avenues for future research."Still,an important question remains:do people idolize celebrities because they already feel similar to them,or do they start to see themselves as similar after forming an emotional attachment? 12.What is Paragraph 2 about? A.The research results. B.The research subjects. C.The research background. D.The research method. 13.According to the study,who are more likely to worship celebrities? A.Those emotionally insecure and self-focused. B.Those indifferent to wealth and social status. C.Those valuing self-confidence and dominance. D.Those seeking spiritual growth beyond possessions. 14.According to the researchers,what might be a direction of future research? A.Celebrity worship. B.Materialism. C.Grandiose narcissism. D.Perceived similarity. 15.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To explain celebrity worship psychology. B.To warn against the dangers of celebrity culture. C.To criticize celebrity materialism and narcissism. D.To describe scales for measuring personality traits. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）】 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Discovering your life purpose can be a challenging journey,but there are strategies to clarify your path and find what truly matters. Set meaningful goals.Start by identifying your core values and setting goals that align (with them.16 For instance,if you value kindness,you might aim to volunteer regularly.If you care about the environment,you could start by recycling at home and gradually take on bigger projects. Address your fears.17 It's important to recognize your fears and question their validity.Are they based on reality,or are they just holding you back?Consider discussing your fears with a trusted friend who can offer different viewpoints and help you find ways to overcome them. 18 Your interests can provide clues about your life purpose.If you're unsure what your interests are,ask friends or family for their insights.You might already be engaging in activities that reflect your likes without realizing it.Think about what you enjoy and what you're good at,and consider how these can be incorporated into your life. 单元过关（三）英语第5页（共8页） Start small to gain steady progress.Finding your purpose can feel overwhelming,so it's important to start with small manageable steps.If you're considering a career change, for example,begin by researching the field rather than making immediate changes.19 Build your community.Connecting with others who share your interests in a community can enhance your sense of purpose.20 Engaging with like-minded individuals can also inspire you to stay committed to your journey.

I don't recall how we started talking.Maybe John asked what I liked,and I said music.Before this trip,I was shy and quiet.I was bad at sports,an average student,but good at French horn ()Still,I didn't see a clear future. Throughout the tour,John talked to me about my musical interests and told me about the paths and possibilities I hadn't yet been able to see.If I enjoyed playing music enough to want to do it all the time,then why didn't I just do that?It had never occurred to me,this sense of huge possibility,that I could just do whatever I wanted. When the tour ended,John and I stood outside the bus and took a picture with my camera.At home,I put that little photo in a prime spot on my wall.It encouraged me to pursue my dream.I got into music school and music ultimately became my path. Twenty years later,I was talking with my friend when the memory of John and that bus tour came out of the back of my mind. “The man literally changed the course of my life,”】said.“I've always wanted to find him.” "You'd better get on it,then,"my friend laughed. 注意： 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。 Later that week,I found a facial recognition website and uploaded my photo.
