Barnard star is about six late years away from earth, believed to be between seven and twelve billion years of age. Barnt star is much older than the sun, which has been around for four and a half billion years. It's also a lot cooler and smaller. In fact, barnard star is only nineteen percent of the sun's mass. As IT isn't very bright, IT isn't easy for scientists to see barnard star. There have been many theories about planets over the years, but nothing has been proven. A scientific team in south africa reported evidence of a planet circling around barnard star. Another team confirmed this using the latest technology. Why is this important?

The students crowded into the lecture hall to gain in-sights from the expert’s fantastic talk. Sharing practical tips on how to identify and manage stress, the psychologist emphasized the importance of positive mindset, and seeking professional help. The impact of the talk has been far-reaching. Many students have felt more equipped to handle their mental health. Not only did the event provide knowledge but also sparked a campus-wide conversation on mental wellness, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive campus community. 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 【参考范文】 But there was something in his kind eyes that made me open up. I poured out my frustrations, explaining how hard I had been working and how little progress I was making. Tears welled up in my eyes as I admitted that I was afraid of failing the exam. To my surprise, Mr. A didn’t offer words of sympathy or pity. Instead, he shared his own experiences as a high school student and the challenges he faced during his final year. He told me about the countless nights he had spent studying, the moments of self-doubt, and the overwhelming pressure. Something different seemed to have shifted in my study and life. Instead of letting the stress consuming me, I started looking for ways to manage the study pressure more effectively. The day of the exam came, I answered the questions as best as I could. Finally, the exam ended, and I walked out of the classroom, with a sense of relief. The next week, I anxiously scanned the paper for my score. My eyes widened in disbelief. I had received an A! I could hardly contain my excitement so I happily ran to Mr. A’s office to tell him the good news. I saw Mr. A wearing a smile with thumbs up. The golden sunlight poured into the office, like Mr. A lighting up my life as well as the path to pursue my dream. Text 1 公司倒闭导致失业 M: I can’t believe our company has closed for good.

As a mathematician, she calculated (计算) and analyzed the flight paths of NASA spacecraft. She is best known for making the calculations that allowed the first Americans to enter Earth’s orbit and set foot on the moon. The 2016 movie “Hidden Figures” records Johnson’s life and work at NASA. Sally Ride (1951-2012) Sally Ride was important in creating career and educational opportunities for women and girls in science and mathematics. As an astronaut, she became the first American woman in space in 1983. On NASA’s second and third Space Shuttle (航天飞机) missions, her job was to work the robotic arm, which she used to put satellites into space. After she stopped working for NASA, she founded NASA’s EarthKAM project, which provided students the opportunity to take pictures of the Earth and then study them. In 2003, she was added to the Astronaut Hall of Fame. Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) Ada Lovelace is regarded as the world’s first computer programmer. She helped develop the idea for a computing machine, and — long before computers were even invented — invented an algorithm (算法) for a computer. To honor her contributions, the U. S. Department of Defense named a new computer language “Ada” in the 1980s . Mae Jemison (1956-) Mae Jemison is a doctor, engineer, and former NASA astronaut. In 1992, she became the first Black woman to travel into space. Jemison excels in many scientific fields, has authored several books, and even appeared on an episode (一集) of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” . She was included in the National Women’s Hall of Fame and the International Space Hall of Fame. Currently, she leads the 100 Year Starship project through the U. S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. This project is devoted to ensuring that human travel to another star is possible in the next 100 years. 21. What did Katherine Johnson and Sally Ride have in common? A. They both did teaching jobs. B. They both traveled to space. C. They both worked for NASA. D. They both spoke up for women’s rights. 22. Whose name was used to name a computer language? A. Sally Ride’s. B. Mae Jemison’s. C. Ada Lovelace’s. D. Katherine Johnson’s. 23. What is Mae Jemison doing at present? A. Writing a book. B. Leading a project. C. Starring in a TV series. D. Working as an astronaut. B It’s thought that the first ever Chinese restaurant opened in 1908 in the UK. This establishment was located in Piccadilly Circus, London. Although this was a massive breakthrough for the cuisine, it didn’t pick up popularity for years. Back in the 1950’s the idea of Chinese food in the UK and America was simplistic; tinned Chinese curries (咖喱菜肴), processed foods and confused flavours, like Chinese food on pizza. Takeout restaurants were few and far between and other cuisines with less experimental flavours were favoured by Western palates (味蕾). It wasn’t until the 1960’s and 1970’s that Chinese food began getting the recognition it should earn. More people began arriving on Western soil from China and Chinatown started development in the 1970’s, when chefs began talking about foreign flavours. One essential figure during this period was Kenneth Lo. He wrote more than 30 books on Chinese cooking from the 1950’s to the 1990’s, with over one million copies sold in Britain. Lo also opened a cooking school in London during the 1980’s, which was hailed as (被誉为) Europe’s first Chinese cooking school. Alongside this, people began opening up to the idea of varied flavours but dishes had to make the most of the ingredients available in the West. Chinese chefs began to adapt dishes to use readily available ingredients and also appeal more to Western palates. This ended with the creation of dishes that a Western audience perceives as Chinese that you wouldn’t even find in China. For example, Chop Suey used to be one of the most popular dishes found in the West but you wouldn’t be able to find this dish with ease in China. The same goes for the beloved fortune cookies. Nowadays, more travel of British people to China for business or leisure has exposed consumers to more varieties and both authentic (真正的) and modern Chinese flavours. No longer do those living in the West fear complex, unfamiliar and unaccustomed flavours; instead they accept the contrast and try to include them into their diet. 24. What happened to Chinese food after the first Chinese restaurant opened in London? A. It went through great changes. B. It went unnoticed for a long time. C. It was mainly sold as takeout food. D. It started to have a big share of the local market. 25. What did Kenneth Lo do to promote Chinese food? A. He wrote many books on Chinese cooking. B. He worked in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. C. He commented on popular books on Chinese food. D. He travelled across China to learn Chinese cooking. 26. Why are Chop Suey and fortune cookies mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove many ingredients were needed to make them. B. To show they were the most popular Chinese dishes in London. C. To show Chinese dishes were adapted to satisfy Westerners’ taste. D. To prove the ingredients used in Western cuisine preparation were simple. 27. What is the Westerners’ attitude towards Chinese food nowadays? A. Concerned. B. Regretful. C. Unclear. D. Receptive. C When SpaceX’s Starship exploded (爆炸) not long after launch last month, it was generally seen as a failure. But for SpaceX, and for science and technology in general, failure can be the key to success. SpaceX founder Elon Musk was optimistic after his big new rocket suffered a “rapid unscheduled explosion.” He knows that the engineering data gathered from the short flight will help track down problems and improve the outcome the next time Starship launches. This type of rapid innovation cycle has worked for SpaceX. The company’s first rocket was the Falcon 1. Its first three launches were failures, followed by two successes — a fairly low success rate. Then Falcon 9 became the workhorse rocket for a decade, with just two failures in 232 launches, for a phenomenal success rate of 99 percent. The public perspective of science as a constant upward trajectory (轨迹) toward greater knowledge is wrong. Science is full of dead ends. Nearly everything that happens in the lab will never make it into print. In science, any experiment that “fails” can be a success if it is well-designed. Astronomers and physicists celebrate new discoveries such as gravity waves. But much progress is made by painstaking observations that fail to discover anything. Null (零) results can rule out theories and guide the design of future experiments. The problem is that null results don’t make you famous. Scientists polish their CVs and fill them with achievements. However, there’s a small but refreshing trend to shine a light on failure. In 2016, Princeton professor Johannes Haushofer put his “CV of Failures” online. It listed every exam he had failed, every job application he’d been rejected for, every project that had failed, and every paper that had been rejected for publication. To his surprise, it went viral (引起轰动的). Other scientists have now covered the walls of their offices with rejection letters, and that has gone viral as well. Failure is finally becoming a badge of honor (荣誉奖章). 28. Which of the following statements may Elon Musk agree to? A. Science is lots of fun. B. Science is different from art. C.

D Nearly 10 million people worldwide live with Parkinson’s disease. While Parkinson’s is incurable, some of its worst symptoms can be relieved and controlled using medications. A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible neuron loss (不可逆转的神经元丢失). But scientists might have just the thing to change the situation. And it involves a nose. In a study published in the journal ACS Omega, researchers from China’s Zhejiang University created an “e-nose,” a portable device that can detect body smells specific to Parkinson’s patients. It may come as a surprise to learn Parkinson’s patients have their own smells. But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, scientists have been trying hard to create a device that could smell the disease before physical symptoms start to show. Over the years, scientists have found people with Parkinson’s tend to produce more sebum (皮脂) than the average person. This sebum mixes with other overproduced substances to produce certain, unique smells. To track down these smells, the Zhejiang University researchers swabbed (用拭子擦拭) the upper backs of 31 Parkinson’s patients and 32 healthy volunteers. Using machine-learning software, they were able to identify three smell compounds that healthy volunteers lacked. The researchers then tested the e-nose on sebum taken from 12 Parkinson’s patients and 12 healthy people. The device was found to be about 71 percent accurate in distinguishing healthy sebum from Parkinson’s sebum. These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson ‘s in the U. S. is expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease. 32. What makes it difficult for Parkinson’s patients to get effective treatment? A. Its medications are in short supply. B. It involves irreversible neuron loss. C. Its early signs are not easy to notice. D. It’s not a curable disease medically. 33. What did the Scottish nurse find? A. Her husband’s body gave off a strange smell. B. Her husband had a heightened sense of smell. C. A smell caused her husband to suffer from a disease. D. A smell could relieve her husband’s Parkinson’s symptoms. 34. What will the researchers do concerning their invention? A. Put it into clinical use. B. Conduct a broader test. C. Create more lab models. D. Expand its market outside the U. S. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s B. Parkinson’s patients produce more sebum C. People living with Parkinson’s are on the rise D.

Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had a dislike to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related to math. However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class. Mr. A always greeted us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student. I found myself looking forward to math class. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed, although I still hated the subject itself. From then on, I had spent countless hours studying, but with so many difficulties to cover, I was overwhelmed. The pressure of the subject was weighing heavily on my shoulders. I had always been a hardworking and dedicated student, but the stress seemed unbearable. No matter how much effort I put into math, I couldn’t seem to keep up. As the mid-term exam approached, I felt a sense of dread. The fear of failure consumed me, and I began to doubt myself again. One day after school, I found myself walking alongside Mr. A on the empty playground. He could tell that something was bothering me, and he asked if everything was alright. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether to share my struggles. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 But there was something in his kind eyes that made me open up. ____________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Something different seemed to have shifted in my study and life. ____________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
