When you think about who's responsible for a city's safety,what people come to mind?Police officers,
firefighters or emergency response teams??Would you put your local meteorologist(气象t预报员)in this group?
That's the career Ashley Ruiz chose,and she's now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge,Louisiana.
Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.
in 2020,a tornado hit Ruiz's hometown of Chattanooga,Tennessee-and,even closer to home,her house.So
she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However,her job isn't without difficulties."Hearing people have been injured,like in a big hurricane,is really
ard,"she said."We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can,and we are getting better.But it can
ways change."
第4页/共12页
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns.She said,"We are absolntely seeing changes m
weather,with more intense and more frequent storms,which relate to climate change."Weather is changing
everywhere,as the planet warms.There are more frequent droughts,stronger storms,and increasing temperature
changes.This makes predicting the weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was-interested in weather and how it affected the world.But her path to a career in
meteorology wasn't easy.She said,"I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up.But I kept pushing and
working hard,and now I'm the.first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market.I'm proud of that."
She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams.
24.Why was the disaster in Roiz's hometown mentioned in the text?
A.To call on people to prepare.for disasters.
B.To introduce Ruiz's unusual childhood experience.
C.To offer a successful example.of weather forecast.
D.To show Ruiz's understanding of the work of a meteorologist.
25.What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text?
A.Climate change.
B.People's injury.
C.Poor technology.
D.Lack of experience.
26.Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph?
A.Creative.
B.Clever.
C.Hard-working.
D.World-famous.
27.In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?
A.Sports.
B.People.
C.Education.

A com plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots,but some varieties,including many
used for developing high-output corn in the U.S..appear to have lost part of that ability,according to a Stanford-led
study.With climate change inereasing droughts,the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant
(抗旱的)varieties of com.
The study,,published in the joumal Science,uncovers genetic-mechanisms(遗传机制)behind
“hydropatterning(水力模式)”,or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil.In particular,
the researchers discovered that ethylene,a plant hormone (known to help bananas ripen,also inficences how
roots grow to seek water.
For this study,the researchers developed a new,simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots.They found
第5页/供12页
_varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward
water and avoiding dry areas..In contrast,,the varieties adapted to moderate(中等的、适度的、温和的)regions
of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil.
"Interestingly,the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,"
said lead author Johannes Scharwies."One idea is that if the plant doesn't waste time growing root branches into
places where it doesn't find any water and nutrients,then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is
more likely."
Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones(荷尔蒙),auxin(生长素)and ethylene(乙烯),play a role
in how com roots respond to water.While auxin was already known to help control this process,ethylene's
involvement was a new discovery.In experiments with thale cress-a model plant often used in research-the
researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water,while ethylene stops branching
when the root is exposed to air.
Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways (before com
varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems,but the findings highlight the significance of
studying these localized responses at root tips,researchers said.
28.What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study?
A.Drought-resistant comn varieties.
B.Ethylene's effect on fruit ripening.
C.Genetic control of root branching.
D.Impact of climate change on plant roots.
29.What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies'remarks?
A.Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth.
B.Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems.
C.Root branching conserves energy for higher production.
D.Stronger hydropatterning(水模式)was linked to greater root depth..
30.What can we icarn about cthylene (from paragraph 5?
A.It has long been known to control com roots'response to water.
B.It works with auxin to promote root branching toward water.
C.It prevents root branching when the root comes into contact with air.
D.It is the only plant hommone affecting corn roots'water response.
31.What does the last paragraph suggest future research do?
A.Prioritize development of new com varieties.
B.Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions.
第6页/共12页
C.Concentrate merely on localized root responses.
D.Expand practical applications of hydropatterning.

From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton(浮游生物)that gives off sparkling blue,glowing(发
plants are nothing new for nature.Now,scientists are bringing that light to houseplants.Reporting in the
Cell Press journal Matter on August 27,researchers crafted glow-in-the-dark succulents that recharge
(充电、恢复)in sunlight..Injected with light-.emitting(发光的)compounds(化合物),the plants can shine
in various colors and match a small night light at their brightest.The simple,low-cost method may help lay the
foundation for sustainable,plant-based lighting systems.
"Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar ()where glowing plants light up an entire
ecosystem,"says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University."We wanted to make that vision
possible using materials we already work with in the lab.Imagine glowing trees replacing streeflights."
Glowing greenery isn't a new idea.Past studies have designed similar plants using genetic engineering.But
the glow is often wesk and is typically only available in green.The methods were also compiex and costly.
Instead of changing cells to glow through genetic modification ()researchers from South China
Agricultural University used afterglow phosphor(磷光粉)particles(粒子)一materials similar to those found in
glow-in-the-dark toys.These compounds absorb light and release it slowly over time.For the particles to travel
through leaf tissues,the researchers had to get the size just right:around 7 micrometers,roughly the width of a red
blood cell.
"Smaller particles moved easily within the plant but they had low brightness,"says leading researcher Shuting
Liu."Larger particles glowed brighter but couldn't travel far inside the plant."
The glowing succulents'()light fades over time,and the team are still studying the long-term safety
of the materials for the plants.Still,the concept could offer a sustainable alternative for low-intensity lighting in
pathways,gardens,or indoor decoration.The team is also exploring how the method can light up plants beyond
succulents.
32.What can be inferred about glowing plants in nature?
A.They are rarely found in the wild.
B.They seldom give out other light but green.
C.They are completely artificial creations.
D.They have been studied for a long time.
33.How did Shuting Liu introduce her study on glowing plants?
A.By giving examples.
B.By defining a concept.
C.By imagining a scene.
D.By providing statisties.

34.What is the main advantage of the new method compared to previous approaches?
A.It is simpler and less expensive.
B.It produces more colorful light.
C.It is more environmentally friendly.
D.It suits a wider range of plant species.
35.What should be paid special attention to when choosing phosphor particles?
A.Weight.
B.Measure.
C.Quantity.
D.Color.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while?I don't mean situations when you should be alone,but
occasions where you are with a group of peopie at a party or a restaurant.You get tired of jumping from
conversation to conversation,and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done,
or that movie you have been meaning to watch.36 Now before you rush to defense,please understand that
being an introvert(内向的人)is compietely normal.
A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social.37 They have
friends,probably not as many as extroverts(外向t的人),but enough to suit their needs for human interaction.
Scientifically,all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert,and at least 25 percent
of us are introverts.
38 Therefore,the ability to network is extremely valuable.Of course,sometimes introverts might be as
capable of talking with people as extroverts,but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in
order to"fit in".While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes,introverts get increasingly
exhausted.39 For the introverted,to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them
harm,with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep,panic attacks and depression.
40 They form deep thoughts,conduet themselves carefully,and pay signiticant attention to detail.So.
for the best results in a project involving group work,both introverts and extroverts are needed.
A.Society appears to favor extroveris.
B.Most introverts,however,are just regular people
C.These are feelings usually typical of an introvert.
D.introverts tend to recover by spending time alone.
E.You might have ignored that"strange"thought you had before.
F.Introverts,just like extroverts,have their own set of advantages.

67.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。
I had always wanted a dog since young.My parents were against the idea,saying that taking care of a dog was
a lifetime commitment.
On my tenth birthday,Father stepped into the house and announced,"Nancy,you have a new puppy!"1
shouted in delight and ran towards Father,only to find it was a toy puppy.My face fell.I turned away.Father
explained,"This is a'Think-It-Over'puppy.You should try taking care of it before deciding about a real dog."
The puppy did look like a real dog from a distance and it even had a dog smell.Inside its body was a computer
programmed to make barking sounds.Father handed me a key,which could be stuck into its back to stop its
barking.I accepted the puppy,which I named Friday since it was Friday that day.
That evening,my friends and I decided to take Friday to a dog cafe.It was freezing cold,so I wrapped it in a
blanket as if it were a real dog.The computer inside could tell if someone treated it badly,like shaking or not caring
for it,and I did not want that recorded.
Having waited in line,we finally got a table.The waiter,not knowing I was carrying a false puppy,asked
attentively if I would need a basket with cushion.I told him,"Oh,it's not a real puppy,but..."Before I could finish
my sentence,he gave me an unpleasant look,turned and served other diners who were right there to play with the
cafe's dogs.I might have seemed unusual to him.During our meal,my friends and I received strange looks from
the other dog owners in the cafe.We ignored them and continued with our own conversation.
After dinner,we went to a nearby shopping mall,where customers were selecting their favorites.My friends
were looking at clothes,but I couldn't.The puppy I was carrying was becoming increasingly heavy.Extremely
tired of Friday,I put it down in a comer and just wandered around,seeking clothes I could try on.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
