A design competition about environmental protection is to be held in the school hall next Sunday．
The aim of the competition is to encourage people to recycle waste．You're required to design what can be used in our daily life using waste within one hour．You can do it alone or with your partners．Not only will the teachers invited as judges evaluate the works, but the students present will select the one they like best．At last, we will choose three best-received ones and present prizes for their designers．
Come and join us．
[片段1]
They stood there for a moment, side by side, waiting for the rushing holiday current and for their place in it．Then the daughter glanced over and momentarily regarded her mother．And slowly, almost reluctantly, she placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother's shoulders and gently guided her back into the deluge．
她们在那里肩并肩地站了一会儿，等待着汹涌的假日洪流，她们也在其中。然后，女儿瞥了一眼，立即看向她的母亲。慢慢地，几乎是不情愿地，她用明显不习惯的感情搂着母亲的肩膀，轻轻地引导她回到人流中。
[片段2]
Chester said his father told him he had tried to search for him and his brother, but both brothers had changed their last names．“He does remember me and my older brother and he told me that he's been looking for us ever since we lost contact，” he said．Chester said his brother has since flown to Colombia to be reunited with Urrea as well．When asked how the reunion with his father will change his life, Chester said，“I got family everywhere, so it might lead to many more trips now．”
切斯特说，他的父亲告诉他，他曾试图寻找他和他的兄弟，但兄弟俩都改了姓氏。他说：“他确实记得我和我哥哥，他告诉我，自从我们失去联系以来，他一直在找我们。”切斯特说，他的兄弟已经飞往哥伦比亚与尤里亚团聚。当被问及与父亲的团聚将如何改变他的生活时，切斯特说：“我到处都有家人，所以现在可能会有更多的旅行。”

A series of small earthquakes have shaken central Nebraska and become the talk of the area．According to the information on a website, there have been several quakes since the 9th this month in the heart of the state, centered on the town Arnold, which is about 225 miles west of the capital Lincoln．The first, a 3.3-magnitude (震级) quake, happened early that morning, followed by three on the following day, another on Sunday, and then the most recent earthquake on Monday．The strongest quake was the first one that struck on the 10th, which reached a magnitude of 3.7．The earthquakes were found about three miles below the surface．There haven't been any reports of human injury or damage of buildings caused by the quakes, according to KWBE, a radio station．
“It is just kind of strange，” Becky Dailey, treasurer of the Arnold Chamber of Commerce, told that station, adding that people around town are running around and talking about the frequent quakes．Actually small quakes like these are not unusual．Just two minutes before Nebraska's most recent earthquake, a separate one shook a city in the Dominican Republic, reaching a magnitude of 2.5．A couple of hours later, a 2.7-magnitude earthquake hit an area near Aguanga, in Southern California's Riverside County．There were two more that day in different areas of Puerto Rico: a 2.9-magnitude quake and a 3.1-magnitude quake．Those were all small, but stronger quakes regularly rock the world—just not so often．
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks．This sudden release of energy causes the waves that make the ground shake．Two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing (摩擦) against each other．After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that is built up．When the rocks break, the earthquake happens．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了美国内布拉斯加州接连发生的六次小地震。
4．What do we know about the quakes in Nebraska
A．There were six quakes in all．
B．They all happened within 24 hours．
C．They were centered on the capital Lincoln．
D．The biggest one reached a magnitude of 4.0．
√
A [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The first, a 3.3-magnitude quake, happened early that morning, followed by three on the following day, another on Sunday, and then the most recent earthquake on Monday．”可知，一共爆发了六次小地震。]
5．What can we know about the quakes in Nebraska according to KWBE
A．They most probably caused many buildings to fall．
B．They most probably caused damage to the crops．
C．They most probably were not felt by the locals．
D．They most probably were not dangerous．
√
D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“There haven't been any reports of human injury or damage of buildings caused by the quakes, according to KWBE”可知，这些小地震都不危险。]
6．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．That no human got injured in the quakes．
B．That quakes happened there so frequently．
C．That an earthquake took place in the state．
D．That people kept talking about the quakes．
√
B [代词指代题。根据画线词后面的“adding that people around town are running around and talking about the frequent quakes”可知，It指的是频繁发生地震的现象。这种现象在贝基·戴利看来是很奇怪的。]
7．What does the author want to show by mentioning the quakes in paragraph 2
A．So many quakes happened on the 9th．
B．Small quakes can be easier to find now．
C．No big earthquakes happened these days．
D．Small quakes are actually very common．
√
D [写作意图题。根据第二段中的“Actually small quakes like these are not unusual．”可知，后面提到那些小地震都是为了证明小地震并不罕见。]

When you think of a jungle adventure, what comes to mind Are they gorgeous birds flying through the air or monkeys jumping through the forest Do you think of plants Probably not．After all，plants aren't the most exciting living things in the world．They just sit there and absorb(吸收) water and nutrients(养分) from the soil and the sun．But actually there are also some plants that eat insects and even small animals from time to time．We call these unusual things carnivorous(食肉性) plants．Although most carnivorous plants eat small insects, large carnivorous plants in some hot and wet areas have been known to capture(捕获)rats，birds，and frogs．
One carnivorous plant many people are familiar with is the Venus flytrap．Its unique “jaws(颌)”will function when flies and other small insects touch it．Once its jaws close on its victim, it produces a chemical substance(物质) that breaks down the insect and absorbs the insect's nutrients．
There are several other examples of carnivorous plants．For example, some plants can catch insects with their leaves, which are like a tall narrow wineglass, while some trap their victims with sticky tentacles(触手)．And some growing in ponds and streams absorb their victims like underwater cleaners．Carnivorous plants tend to grow in areas where the soil is very thin and lacks necessary nutrients．These plants must find other sources for the nutrients they need．
Trapping and eating insects allows these unique plants to survive．Unfortunately, human and environmental factors continue to threaten the limited environments where you can find wild carnivorous plants．
Still for many people, the thought of a plant eating an animal seems very strange．In fact, more than one person has turned the idea into a scary story or movie．Carnivorous plants don't pose any danger to humans, though．Unless you're the size of a tiny insect, you don't have to worry about falling prey to a Venus flytrap．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了食肉植物的捕猎方式和产生的原因，以及人类活动对食肉植物的影响。

C．It produces a special smell to attract insects．
D．It is the most important carnivorous plant．
√
A [细节理解题。根据第二段中“One carnivorous plant many people are familiar with is the Venus flytrap．Its unique ‘jaws’ will function when flies and other small insects touch it．Once its jaws close on its victim, it produces a chemical substance that breaks down the insect and absorbs the insect's nutrients．”可知，捕蝇草用独特的“下颚”捕捉昆虫。故选A项。]
9．Why do carnivorous plants hunt animals for food
A．They need some nutrients to survive．
B．They enjoy the taste of animals．
C．They try to reduce the harmful insects．
D．They help keep the balance of nature．
√

10．What's the challenge faced by carnivorous plants
A．Threats from bigger animals．
B．Limited choices of food．
C．Less concern from human beings．
D．Poorer environments to live in．
√
D [推理判断题。根据第四段的内容“Trapping and eating insects allows these unique plants to survive．Unfortunately, human and environmental factors continue to threaten the limited environments where you can find wild carnivorous plants．”可推知，因为人类和环境因素导致，食肉植物面临更贫穷的生活环境。故选D项。]
11．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Plants that Eat Living Things
B．Various Survival Skills of Plants
C．Plants' Ways of Catching Insects
D．Potential Dangers in the Jungle
√
A [标题归纳题。根据第一段中“But actually there are also some plants that eat insects and even small animals from time to time．We call these unusual things carnivorous plants．Although most carnivorous plants eat small insects, large carnivorous plants in some hot and wet areas have been known to capture rats，birds，and frogs．”以及最后一段“Carnivorous plants don't pose any danger to humans, though．Unless you're the size of a tiny insect, you don't have to worry about falling prey to a Venus flytrap．”可知，本文主要讲述食肉植物有关事项，A项适合作文章标题。故选A项。]

A new study shows that a positive attitude about ageing can help recover mild memory loss．People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are 30 per cent more likely to make symptoms (症状) disappear if they think positively about ageing, according to a study carried out by the Yale School of Public Health．The study was conducted over twelve years and involved 1，716 participants aged 65 and above．
MCI is usually considered a one-way process, but according to Professor Becca Levy, lead author of the study, that's not the case at all, “Most people assume there is no recovery from MCI, but in fact half of those who have it do recover．”
Mild cognitive impairment is a condition which causes memory loss and difficulty in thinking clearly．Symptoms might include forgetting events, or often losing things．Other more physical symptoms such as a loss of smell or spatial perception have also been connected with MCI．
It is mostly found in people over 60，and often leads to Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia．The study was conducted over a twelve-year period between 2008—2020, with seven data collection waves performed every two years．
Results showed that those who came to the study with MCI were 30 per cent more likely to make a full recovery if they were upbeat about ageing．They were also likely to recover two years faster than those with more negative age beliefs (such as “The older I get, the more useless I feel”)．Those who came to the study without MCI were also far less likely to develop it if they felt more age-positive, no matter of what their physical health or age is．
Factors (因素) such as age, race and gender have previously been examined for connections with recovery, but this is the first study to look at cultural factors — in this case, beliefs about ageing．
While the study definitely provided positive results, it's still not known exactly why．“A limitation is that we did not examine the mechanism of positive age beliefs in cognitive (认知) recovery”， says Levy．
Given how well this research has gone, hopefully future studies will show the “why”， as well as looking at other cultural factors．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的研究表明对衰老的积极态度可以帮助恢复轻度记忆丧失。
12．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The introduction of MCI．
B．The causes of MCI．
C．The treatment of MCI．
D．The recovery of MCI．
√
A [段落大意题。根据第三段“Mild cognitive impairment is a condition which causes memory loss and difficulty in thinking clearly．Symptoms might include forgetting events, or often losing things．Other more physical symptoms such as a loss of smell or spatial perception have also been connected with MCI．”可知，本段主要介绍了什么是轻度认知障碍(MCI)以及它的症状。故选A。]
13．What does the underlined word “upbeat” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Careful． B．Serious．
C．Worried． D．Positive．
D [词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“They were also likely to recover two years faster than those with more negative age beliefs (such as ‘The older I get, the more useless I feel’)．”可知，年龄观念更消极的人康复速度慢，也就是说，对衰老持乐观态度的人完全康复的可能性会高出30%。所以画线单词的意思为“积极的，乐观的”。故选D。]
√
14．What is the most special about this new study
A．The thought of cultural aspects．
B．The length of study time．
C．The way of collecting data．
D．The age of participants．
√
A [细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Factors such as age, race and gender have previously been examined for connections with recovery, but this is the first study to look at cultural factors — in this case, beliefs about ageing．”可知，这项研究的特别之处在于它考虑了文化因素。故选A。]
15．What is probably its future study direction
A．The reason why physical symptoms of MCI will appear．
B．The way that positive age beliefs affect recovery of MCI．
C．The reason why positive age beliefs produce good results．
D．The factors that contribute to cognitive recovery of MCI．
√
C [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“While the study definitely provided positive results, it's still not known exactly why．”和最后一段“Given how well this research has gone, hopefully future studies will show the ‘why’， as well as looking at other cultural factors．”可推知，这项研究的未来方向是积极的年龄信念产生良好结果的原因。故选C。]

When coming to this city for high school, I moved into the new house with my parents．We were very grateful to the owner for renting us this house at a cheap price．The house was really comfortable to live in．It was warm inside and full of life outside．
A tree in the front yard attracted my attention, and all I could confirm was that it was a fruit tree．My father thought it was a fig(无花果) tree, and sure enough, as the months went by, the tree grew huge leaves and finally bore the fruit—figs, the size of my fist．How wonderful they were! I took many pictures of the fig tree．And then we wondered how to deal with the figs．My mother thought for a while and said, “Why not try making fig jam？” I responded quickly, “That's a good idea！”
Jack, one of our neighbors, just visited us and asked if he could pick some figs from our tree．Certainly, we encouraged him to take as many as he liked．In fact, Jack was extremely polite and friendly to us．He introduced himself at the first sight of us．He always waved to me as he came home or as he left for work．
When I picked the figs with him, he told me about how he had been living in the house next door for close to twenty years．He said, “Bruce, the owner of the house you live in now, used to be my best friend．And we had planted this very fig tree a few years before he went to the nursing home．” I was amazed to know that we actually enjoyed the fruit of his work．He told me that he was so impressed by the quality of the fruit this year．I found a fruit box for him to put the figs in．Both of us enjoyed the pleasure of sharing．
When Jack set out for his home, I turned to my parents and advised doing something in return for Jack and Bruce's kindness and friendliness．

[参考范文]
Finally, we decided to invite Jack and his family to dinner that night． I called him and talked about it, and he accepted the invitation with pleasure．After school, I went to the supermarket to help my parents buy lots of food materials．And I specially bought a toy for Jack's little baby．My mother prepared a bottle of fig jam for dinner．We cooked a big meal together at home．Jack's family arrived on time．We shared the delicious food happily．After dinner, we talked about Bruce．We all thought it was him who planted this fig tree that brought us together．So we were determined to thank him．
The next day, our family and Jack visited Bruce in the nursing home． When Bruce saw us, he jumped with joy like a child．My mother reminded me and said, “Dear, give Bruce a surprise．” I pulled out my phone and showed him the pictures of the fig tree．I also handed a basket of sweet figs to him．He was particularly pleased to see the fig tree．He thanked me for taking good care of it．I swore that I would always treasure it．And all of us promised to see him more often．We had such a close relationship with him, like a family．
THANKS
