Raised in Miami,surrounded by poverty
and struggling schools,Barrington Irving
overcame all the difficulties to become the
youngest person to fly alone around the
world.He not only built his own plane and
completed his historic flight,but also founded
an educational non-profit organization.Irving
believes the root of success lies in first having
a dream一something sparked(激发)by
powerful learning experiences that inspire
children to pursue careers,particularly in the
fields of science,technology,engineering,
and mathematics.
The moment of inspiration for Irving
came at 15 while he was working in his
parents'bookstore.A customer,a profes-
sional pilot,asked Irving if he'd ever consid-
ered becoming a pilot."I told him I didn't
think I was smart enough;but the next day
when he gave me the chance to sit in the
pilot's seat of a real commercial airplane,I
knew I loved it.”
205
Driven by his newfound passion,Irving
began washing airplanes to save up for flight
school.He improved his skills by practicing
ona$40 flight simulator(模拟器)video
game at home.Then another dream took
hold:flying alone around the world.He faced
more than 50 rejections for sponsorship before
finally persuading several companies to donate
individual aircraft components.His eventual
takeoff was an act of faith-with no weather
radar,no deicing system,and just $30 in his
pocket.
After 97 days,26 stops and dozens of
thunderstorms,snowstorms and sandstorms,
he finally landed to a roaring crowd in Miami.
"Stepping from the plane,what truly changed
my life wasn't the celebration;it was seeing
so many young,inspired faces watching and
listening.I had no money,but I was deter-
mined to give back with my time,knowledge
and experience."True to his word,he has
been doing so ever since.Irving's non-profit-
making organization,Experience Aviation
空),aims to channel the wonder he saw in
those young eyes into concrete career paths,
thereby increasing the numbers of youth
in aviation.
4.What does Irving believe is most important
for success?
A.A good education.
B.An intense devotion.
C.A strong initial dream.
D.A clear career outlook.
5.Why did Irving decide to become a pilot?
A.He played flight simulator games well.
B.He was inspired by a firsthand experi-
ence.
C.His parents'bookstore specialized in avi-
ation.
D.He received a scholarship from a flight
school.
6.What do we learn about Irving from Para-
graph 3?
A.He was funded to fulfill his dream.
B.He donated his plane to a flight school.
C.He used to be addicted to video games.
D.He never gave up in face of difficulties.
2(

tion.
C(说明文)
Want to know the current population of
India?The Internet is your best bet.Need a
quick refresher on the phases of the moon?
Go ahead,read a story online (or two or
three).But if you really need to learn some-
thing,you're probably better off with print.
Or at least that's what a lot of research now
suggests.
Researchers find that people tend to read
faster on screens.That's fine for checking
texts and social media posts.But when
screens are small,the extra scrolling needed
to read a long article or book may make it har-
der to retain what you're reading,data now
show.
That doesn't just depend on the device,
however.It also depends on what you assume
about the text.Naomi Baron calls this your
mindset.She says one way mindset works is
in anticipating how easy or hard we expect the
reading to be.If we think it will be easy,we
might not put in much effort.
Much of what we read on screens tends
to be text messages and social media posts,
which are usually easy to understand.So,
"when people read on screens,they read fas-
ter,"says Alexander at the University of
Maryland."Their eyes scan the pages and the
words faster than if they're reading on a piece
of paper."But when reading fast,we may
not absorb all the ideas as well.
However,all experts agree on one thing:
There's no going back.Digital reading is here
to stay.So it pays to make the most of it.It's
a good idea to do a little preparation.Baron
compares reading to sports or to playing mu-
sic."Watch a pianist or an athlete.Before they
run the race or play the concert,they get
themselves in the zone,”she says.“It'sthe
same thing for reading.Before you read some-
thing you really want to focus on,get in the
zone.Think about what you'll be reading,and
what you want to get from it.
6
8.Which is NOT the possible element affect-
ing people's reading on screens?
A.Small screens.
B.Reader's mindset.
C.Simple posts.
D.Reading skills.
9.What may all experts agree as for digital
reading?
A.It's unavoidable.
B.It's unhelpful.
C.It's unpredictable.
D.It's unacceptable.
10.Why does Baron mention the pianist and
the athlete?
A.To define a term.
B.To support an idea.
C.To explain a concept.
D.To present the background.
11.Which of the following would be the best
title for the passage?
A.The Rise of Digital Reading
B.The Benefits of Print Reading
C.Balancing Print and Digital Reading
D.Preparing for the Digital Reading Era
D(说明文)
Thirty years ago,while working on a
right whale research project in the Bay of
Fundy,Canada,I witnessed a remarkable
sight.A male right whale with mud on its
head,indicating it had been feeding at the
bottom,came up to breathe and rest.Just be-
fore diving again,it let out a huge mass of
poop(粪便).The water was filled with poop
that looked like red floating bricks and had a
strong,unpleasant smell.If it got on your
clothes,you'd have to discard them as it
couldn't be washed out.
This initial encounter later inspired me to
conduct global search for whale poop,taking
me from Iceland to Mexico,Alaska,and Ha-
waii.Right whale poop has a particularly
strong and awful smell,but I've come to ap-
preciate it.Whale poop provides valuable in-
sights.It shows what whales eat,their hor-
mones,if they're ready to reproduce,how
stressed they are,what's in their gut(内脏),
and their family tree.It also helps us assess
the level of mercury and pollution in the
ocean,
2(
This experience set the path for my re-
search career.Two years after seeing whale
poop for the first time,I took an ocean
ecology class and learned about the biological
pump.Phytoplankton(浮游植物)grows near
the ocean surface and through the food chain,
nutrients can sink to the deep sea.However,I
realized that right whales,which feed at
depth and poop at the surface,likely bring
nutrients like iron and so on back up.This led
to the concept of the“whale pump”,which
does the opposite of the biological pump by
pumping nutrients back to the surface.These
nutrients can be absorbed by phytoplankton
and flow through the ocean food chain.This is
important because some people in Japan,
Norway,and Iceland think whales eat "our
fish"and cause fish numbers to drop.The
whale pump shows that the relationship is
more complex and that whales might actually
increase fish populations.
Whale poop not only helps us understand
the present ocean but also gives us a look into
the past when there were more whales.Resto-
ring whales and their nutrient pathways could
help make the ocean more diverse.
l2.What does the underlined word“discard”
in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Abandon.
B.Wash.
C.Keep.
D.Appreciate.
13.Why does the author appreciate whale
poop?
A.It provides a remarkable sight.
B.It makes the author travel a lot.
C.It looks like red floating bricks.
D.It makes precious insights available.
14.What is the effect of the "whale pump"?
A.Nutrients float to the surface.
B.Fisheries experience a decline.
C.The ocean food chain is threatened.
D.The environment is polluted severely.
15.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To describe the abnormal behavior of
right whales.
B.To explain the ecological importance of
whale poop.
C.To argue against the idea that whales
harm fisheries.
D.To discuss how we can understand the
present ocean.
