We need you guys to do the same thing tonight. I want everything you're going to bring put out in the living room before you go to bed. Before you pack everything though, you need to put aside the clothes for tomorrow. I don't want to wait for you to search for other clothes or to unpack your bag to get something. Our flight is at 7：00 am, and it will take about a half hour to get to the airport from here. We'll probably need another hour to get through security. Also, I know I said that we would go out for our meal tonight, but there is just too much to do. I asked your father to pick up some Chinese food for dinner instead. I can't be bothered to cook something since I just cleaned everything. If you want a specific dish at the restaurant, you will need to call your father. Otherwise, he will just pick up something that we can all share. Are you clear on everything I said？

On February 22, 2021, cancer survivor Hayley Areeneaux was selected to be one of four crew members of the SpaceX Inspiration4 — the world’s first civilian astronaut mission. The 29-year-old will make history as the youngest American — and the first with a false limb — to travel to space.
Hayley’s space dreams began two decades ago, following a visit to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. However, the young girl’s dreams were derailed a year later when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma — a type of bone cancer.
Fortunately, the fatal disease had been caught early and the experts at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis were able to reduce its spread through chemotherapy and by replacing the diseased bones with metal rods (杆) in her left leg. Arceneaux said she never thought she would be able to go to space. But when the call came “out of the blue” from Jared Isaacman, CEO and founder of Shift4 Payments, asking her if she would like to go to space, she said without hesitation, “Yes, yes, absolutely!”
Isaacman had always intended to go to space. Hence when SpaceX announced the world’s first all-commercial astronaut mission, the 37-year-old billionaire, instantly booked the available four seats. The flying enthusiast announced that he would donate three seats to members of the general public. Hayley, the first crew member to be announced, will represent the pillar (支柱) of “hope” — a nod to her survival of cancer and frontline work as a physician at St. Jude. The remaining passengers, representing the pillars of “generosity” and “prosperity”, will be chosen randomly to raise $200 million for St. Jude, which treats children at no charge.
Before the mission launch later this year, the crew will undergo intense training. The mission, which will orbit Earth every 90 minutes, will be carefully monitored by SpaceX mission control scientists from Earth. Upon the mission’s completion, the Dragon will reenter Earth’s atmosphere for a soft water landing off the coast of Florida.
24. What do you know about Hayley Arceneaux
A. She is a disabled woman. B. She was caught in a storm.
C. She is a famous physicist. D. She used to be a fighter pilot.
25. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Sadly. B. Strangely. C. Randomly. D. Suddenly.
26. Why would Jared Isaacman donate the last two seats to members of the general public
A. To promote his company’s products B. To raise funds for a cancer hospital.
C. To inspire interests in space travel. D. To seek help for disabled children.
27. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. “The Sky Is Not Even the Limit” For Jared Isaacman
B. Hayley’s Space Dreams Were Derailed by Osteosarcoma
C. Cancer Survivor to Become the Youngest American In Space
D. Hayley Arceneaux Became the Youngest American travelling in Space
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。2021年2月22日，癌症幸存者Hayley Areeneaux被选为太空探索技术公司“灵感4号”的四名宇航员之一，“灵感4号”是世界上第一个民用宇航员任务。29岁的她将成为美国历史上最年轻的、也是第一位使用假肢进入太空的美国人。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The 29-year-old will make history as the youngest American —and the first with a false limb—to travel to space.”(29岁的她将成为美国历史上最年轻的、也是第一位使用假肢进入太空的美国人。)可知，Hayley Arceneaux是一个残疾人。故选A。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句“Arceneaux said she never thought she would be able to go to space.”(Arceneaux说，她从来没有想过自己能够进入太空。)可知，这个邀请电话来得很突然。所以“out of the blue”意为“突然地”。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The remaining passengers, representing the pillars of “generosity” and “prosperity”, will be chosen randomly to raise $200 million for St. Jude, which treats children at no charge.”(剩下的乘客代表着 “慷慨”和“繁荣”的支柱，他们将被随机挑选出来，为圣犹大医院筹集2亿美元，该医院免费治疗儿童。)可推知，Jared Isaacman捐出剩下的两个席位给公众是为了给一家癌症医院筹集资金。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“On February 22, 2021, cancer survivor Hayley Areeneaux was selected to be one of four crew members of the SpaceX Inspiration4—the world’s first civilian astronaut mission. The 29-year-old will make history as the youngest American —and the first with a false limb—to travel to space.”(2021年2月22日，癌症幸存者Hayley Areeneaux被选为太空探索技术公司“灵感4号”的四名宇航员之一，“灵感4号”是世界上第一个民用宇航员任务。29岁的她将成为美国历史上最年轻的、也是第一位使用假肢进入太空的美国人。)可知，文章主要是讲一位癌症幸存者即将成为最年轻的太空美国人。故选C。

A new UBC Okanagan study finds children not only gain the benefits of working with therapy (治疗) dogs – they enjoy it too.
“While we do frequently see children improve in therapy dog programs, we didn’t have data to support that they enjoyed the time as well,” says Nicole Harris, who conducted this research while a master’s student in the School of Education.
The research saw 22 children from the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club take part in a series of sessions to help them build their social skills. Over six weeks, the children were accompanied by therapy dogs as they completed lessons. Each week the children were taught a new skill, such as introducing themselves or giving directions to others. The children would first practice with their assigned therapy dog before running through the exercise with the rest of the group. In the final phase, the children, accompanied by their new furry friend, would practice their new skills with university students located in the building.
“Therapy dogs are often able to reach children and facilitate their growth in surprising ways. We saw evidence of this in the social skills of children when they were paired with a therapy dog,” says Dr. John-Tyler Binfet, associate professor in the School of Education and director of BARK. “The dogs helped create a non-threatening climate while the children were learning these new skills. By interacting with them, the children’s moods improved and their engagement in their lessons increased.” While the children were learning and practising their new skills, the research team collected data.
At the end of the six weeks, Harris interviewed eight children, aged 5 to 11 years old, who regularly attended the sessions. Each child indicated the social skill-training program with therapy dogs was an enjoyable and positive experience and the dogs were a meaningful and essential part of the program.
As a full-time elementary school teacher, Harris notes that schools have become increasingly important in helping students develop social and emotional skills, and this research could contribute to the development of future school-based or after-school programs.
28. What was Harris’s research meant to explore
A. When and how children could learn new social skills well.
B. Whether working with therapy dogs was pleasant to kids.
C. Why therapy dogs benefited kids’ learning of social skills.
D. What helped children learn and practice new social skills.
29. What does the underlined word “facilitate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Promote. B. Maintain. C. Influence. D. Determine.
30. What do we know about the process of the research
A. The behavior of 22 children aged 5 to 11 was recorded.
B. The participants were taught a skill and tested 6 weeks later.
C. University students were also involved to help with the study.
D. Most participants were interviewed at the end of the research.
31. What does Harris think of the research
A. It’s an important part of elementary school education.
B. It should be carried out in elementary school separately.
C. It can help develop students’ social and emotional skills.
D. It serves as reference for developing school programs.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了UBC Okanagan的一项新研究，发现孩子们不仅能从与治疗犬的合作中获益，而且还能从中得到乐趣。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A new UBC Okanagan study finds children not only gain the benefits of working with therapy (治疗) dogs – they enjoy it too.( UBC Okanagan的一项新研究发现，孩子们不仅从与治疗犬一起工作中获益，而且他们也很喜欢。)”以及第二段中Harris 所说“While we do frequently see children improve in therapy dog programs, we didn’t have data to support that they enjoyed the time as well.(虽然我们经常看到儿童在治疗犬项目中得到改善，但我们没有数据支持他们也享受了这段时间)”可知，Harris的研究是为了探索孩子们与治疗犬在一起是否会感到快乐。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“The dogs helped create a non-threatening climate while the children were learning these new skills. By interacting with them, the children’s moods improved and their engagement in their lessons increased. (当孩子们学习这些新技能时，这些狗帮助创造了一个没有威胁的环境。通过与它们互动，孩子们的情绪改善了，他们对功课的投入也增加了。)”说明通过和治疗犬互动，孩子们情绪和学习都有了改进，从而推知划线词句“Therapy dogs are often able to reach children and facilitate their growth in surprising ways. (治疗犬通常能够接触到儿童，并以令人惊讶的方式促进他们的成长。)”其中划线词汇facilitate应为“促进”的意思，选项A“促进；提高”与之意义最为接近。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the final phase, the children, accompanied by their new furry friend, would practice their new skills with university students located in the building. (在最后阶段，孩子们会在毛茸茸的新朋友的陪伴下，和大楼里的大学生一起练习新技能。)”可知，大学生也参与进来帮助共同完成这项研究。故选C项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As a full-time elementary school teacher, Harris notes that schools have become increasingly important in helping students develop social and emotional skills, and this research could contribute to the development of future school-based or after-school programs. (作为一名全职小学教师，Harris指出，学校在帮助学生发展社交和情感技能方面变得越来越重要，这项研究可能有助于未来校本或课后项目的发展。)”可知，Harris认为它为发展学校项目提供参考。故选D项。
D
Improvements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that a rebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.
A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.
Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.
“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.
The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hoped for savings dates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.
If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carbon capture technology than is currently being planned for.
But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.
32. Which of the following is a rebound effect
A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.
B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.
C. A family saves money by using energy saving devices.
D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.
33. How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research
A. By interviewing economists.
B. By analyzing former studies.
C. By modeling the rebound effect.
D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.
34. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with
A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.
B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.
C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.
D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.
35. What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect
A. Positive. B. Pessimistic.
C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由提高能源效率所带来的反弹效应可能使其节省的资金大大缩减，并指出人们应采取任何措施来限制反弹效应。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.（然后是间接反弹：节省的燃料使车主有更多的钱花在其他经济领域，消耗能源。）”可知，D项“女士把省油汽车节省的钱花在买更多的衣服上。”就是把省下来的钱花在其他经济领域（服装领域）上，符合间接反弹效应。Ｄ项正确，其它选项不符合题意。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect,（尽管这33项研究使用了不同的方法来模拟反弹效应，）”中的model the rebound effect可知，研究团队是通过模拟回弹效应进行他们的研究的。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.（Brockway说：“我们并不是说能源效率不起作用，我们的意思是需要更加认真地对待经济反弹。”）”中的be taken more seriously可知，Brockway认为应该更加关注回弹效应。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.（但这并不意味着我们不能采取任何措施来限制反弹效应。一个解决办法是加倍提高能源效率，并采取双倍的措施来达到同样的效果。）”中的双重否定句可知，作者对于限制反弹效应是持积极（positive）态度的，并提出了对应的解决办法。故选A项。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the past ten months of pandemic life, cooking has become a shelter for me. New York Times food editor Sam Sifton referred to Korean fried rice and said it "improves moods, atmospheres and weeks alike". ____36____ I'd argue it improves physical health, finances and skills, and reduces stress. Really, cooking is a rewarding thing you should do these days.
Cooking food for yourself is beneficial to your physical health. When you cook your own food, you control exactly what goes into your body. It's the best possible way to “dial in” or clean up your diet. ____37____ A recent survey has found that twice as many Americans are cooking at home than a year ago, and that nearly a quarter are doing so in an effort to eat healthier.
____38____ It's considerably cheaper than ordering from restaurants, or buying prepared food from supermarkets. It's found that ordering takeout is five times more expensive. The difference is more obvious if you’re cooking for a family.
In terms of improving cooking skill, you can't help but improve if you do it over and over again. With so many other outlets for hobbies shut down right now, why not view your kitchen as a mini universe to be explored You've got the tools, not to mention the human requirement to eat. I can't think of another hobby where your body physically requires you to practice several times daily. ____39____
How does cooking relieve stress, you might be wondering ____40____ If you're organized enough to cook meals in advance, you end the weeknight dilemma of “what's for dinner ”. Furthermore, as you get better at cooking, you will spare the need to order food.
A. Cooking helps kids develop many hobbies.
B. Actually, cooking can bring more benefits.
C. The act itself can be calming to some people.
D. From a financial aspect, cooking cannot be beaten.
E. You can save money as well as improve your mental health.
F. If improving health is your main reason for cooking, you're not alone.

【39题详解】
根据上文“In terms of improving cooking skill, you can't help but improve if you do it over and over again.( 在提高烹饪水平方面，如果你一次又一次地做，你肯定会提高)”可知，G选项“你很可能会提升烹饪技能，而且这种技能可以伴随你一生”符合文意，选项中的“improve your cooking skills”与上文“improving cooking skill”属于同一话题，顺理成章。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“How does cooking relieve stress, you might be wondering ( 你可能会想，烹饪是如何缓解压力的)”可知，本段主要讨论烹饪和减轻压力之间的关系，故C选项“烹饪本身对某些人来说就是能令人平静的”符合文意，选项中的关键词calming呼应上文的relieve stress，与上文提到的缓解压力属于同一话题。故选C。

【41题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他经常这样做已经一年多了。A. single单个的；B. random随意的；C. voluntary自愿的；D. regular有规律的。根据下文中的“for over a year”和“Each time”可知，作者的儿子经常会把椅子拖到吧台跟前。 on a regular basis意为“经常地；频繁地”。故选D。
【42题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：每次我们看到这种情况发生，我和妻子都会以同样的方式回应——对他大喊，让他住手。A. vote投票；B. teach教；C. respond回复；D. function起作用。根据上文中的“I shouted”和该空后的“shouting at him to stop.”可知，作者和妻子的“反应(respond)”一样，都是朝着儿子大喊。故选C。
【43题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但每次我们都感到失望，因为他没有吸取这一教训。A. cautious好奇的；B. disappointed失望的；C. nervous紧张的；D. frightened害怕的。由转折连词But和该空后的“he is not learning this lesson”可知，儿子总是不买账,这让作者和妻子感到很“失落(disappointed)”。故选B。

考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我反思这个经常发生的场景时，我意识到我一直在用错误的方式看待这个情况。A. expect期望；B. imagine想象；C. realize意识到；D. predict预测。根据该空前的 “As I reflect on this frequently- occurring scene,”可知，作者经过反思后，“意识到(realize)”自己看待这件事情的角度不对。故选C。
【45题详解】

【46题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：他想在充电的时候坐在那里玩。A. charged充电；B. restarted重新开始；C. occupied占据；D. programed安排。他想在iPad“充电( charged)”的时候坐在那儿玩。上文的“the charger for the ipad”是提示信息。故选A。
【47题详解】
考查连接词词义辨析。句意：我的目标是防止地板被损坏，而他的目标是在那里玩。A. since自从；B. until直到；C. unless除非；D. while然而。该空前后两句为对比关系，所以用连词while。故选D。
【48题详解】

【51题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：对我来说，更深刻的洞察力来自于认识到我是如何快速地、反复地利用我对他的权力以牺牲他想要的东西为代价来得到我想要的东西。A. cost花费；B. request询问；C. bottom底部；D. mercy仁慈。at the cost of…意为“以牺牲……的利益为代价”。根据“I keep using my power over him to get what I want”可知，作者一直用对儿子的权力以牺牲他想要的东西为代价来得到自己想要的东西。故选A。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了饮食与文化之间的关系。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词。句意：从个人层面来说，我们在成长过程中吃的都是自己饮食文化下的食物。根据所填动词与空格前动词没有主从及并列关系，故此处要填非谓语动词；此处eat是与动词grow up伴随发生的。故填eating。
2. 考查名词。句意：家庭美食是我们成年后在人生低谷时的安慰。根据空格前有名词family，所给提示词dish是名词，故此处填名词复数，构成名词短语family dishes（家庭美食）。故填dishes。
3. 考查冠词。句意：从更大层面来看，食物是文化身份认同的表达。根据空格后expression是可数名词单数，所以此处要填冠词。注意，expression是元音发音开头单词，故填an。
4. 考查介词。移民们把做传统美食当做一种在新家园保持自身文化传统的方式。根据空格后没有括号词提示，且空格后为名词短语 a way，所以此处填介词。根据句意，是把做传统美食当做一种保持文化的方式，故填as。
5. 考查时态和语态。句意：在中国，和谐体现在中餐之中。分析句型可知此处填谓语动词形式；根据所填动词reflect（反映）是及物动词，其后没有名词或代词做宾语，所以用被动语态；主语是harmony（和谐）为不可数名词，所以要用第三人称单数形式。故填is reflected。
6. 考查形容词。句意：在中国，和谐体现在中餐之中，几乎所有的味道都被和谐使用来创造美味食物。根据空格前冠词a以及空格后名词way，可知此处填形容词。故填balanced。
7. 考查副词。句意：同时，中国人自古以来都有很多精致的风格，这些都体现在建筑，服饰和饮食上。根据空格前有冠词a以及其后有形容词elaborate和名词style，可知此处符合冠词+副词+形容词+名词的结构，所以填副词。故填historically。
8. 考查定语从句。句意：在美国，饮食反映了其移民历史，它引入了很多不同类型的烹饪方法。根据主句符合主（the cuisine）谓（reflects）宾（its history）结构，是完整句子，所以从句是定语从句；从句动词introduced缺少主语，所以此处用关系代词which指代the US。故填which。
9. 考查时态。句意：因此，这些年来，美国已经在食物制作上形成的丰富的多样性。根据该局时间状语over the years（现在完成时的时间状语），可知此处填现在完成时；主语是the US，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has developed。
10. 考查形容词比较级。句意：随着全球化的深入，获取不同文化下的美食越来越容易了。分析句子结构可知，此处考查的是it is adj. to do sth，所以空格处要填形容词。根据句意，此处表示的吃上不同文化中的美食变得比以前更容易了。故填easier。

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。
Everything about moving day was a puzzle. I didn't know anything about our new building on a new street. Our old life was broken into pieces and packed up in piled boxes. I wondered if it would ever fit back together again.
Mom introduced me to our new neighbours, the Chens. Mrs Chen worked with Mom at the job she'd just started. Mr Chen was a famous craftsman(匠人) from China.
Mom said it was a fresh start, but it felt broken to me. I just wanted things to go back to how they had been before.
After the first day at my new school, I walked home alone. Mom had told me she had to work. I was still hoping she'd meet me after the bell. I had to open the door myself with the new key. I felt a bit hungry and went straight into the kitchen, ripping tape from the packed boxes while I searched for a clean plate. My fingers slipped, and something went crashing to the ground.
“Benjamin” cried Mom from the doorway. I didn't hear her come in. “What just broke ” she asked, kneeling to pick up the pieces. In her hands, I recognized the shattered pieces. It was Grandma's bowl. “I can't believe you broke this,” she said.
“Well, I can't believe we have to live here now! I can't believe I have to switch schools, and I can't believe you didn't even meet me after my first day” I ran into my room, slamming the door behind me.
The broom swept across the kitchen floor. Then the click of Mom's bedroom door closed behind her. I sneaked out into the kitchen and found the fragments in the dustbin. There were so many pieces in here, but maybe I could put them back together. Turning the pieces, I tried to match them,but this bowl would never look the same again.
“I'm sorry I yelled,” said Mom, as she opened her door. “Please just throw out the pieces. We can't make a fresh start with broken things.”
As I wandered down the hall, Mr Chen was emptying his garbage.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1：
“Are you sure you want to throw that out ” he asked.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
I brought the repaired bowl into her room.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1：
“Are you sure you want to throw that out ” he asked. My throat twisted into a knot. “It's broken,” I murmured. “That's a simple e.” In their apartment, Mr Chen spread the broken pieces out like a jigsaw puzzle. After finding each match, he taught me to delicately rebuild the bowl, filling in the crack lines with a special paint. Finally, the bowl was together again. I held it gently in the palm of my hand and admired it for long. Slightly different, it was as beautiful as before. I couldn't wait to show it to Mom and rushed back home.
Paragraph 2：
I brought the repaired bowl into her room. Obviously, she was more than surprised to see the bowl again. “It's amazing” she marveled, running her fingertip over the fixed cracks. “Mr Chen helped me mend it. He is a superb craftsman,” I said with a grin. “Definitely. After being repaired, it looks much stronger than before” said Mom, smiling radiantly. I sat on the edge of her bed, and Mom reached out to me. Our hands joined with crisscrossed fingers, we both knew this was a new beginning.

On February 22, 2021, cancer survivor Hayley Areeneaux was selected to be one of four crew members of the SpaceX Inspiration4 — the world’s first civilian astronaut mission. The 29-year-old will make history as the youngest American — and the first with a false limb — to travel to space.
Hayley’s space dreams began two decades ago, following a visit to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. However, the young girl’s dreams were derailed a year later when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma — a type of bone cancer.
Fortunately, the fatal disease had been caught early and the experts at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis were able to reduce its spread through chemotherapy and by replacing the diseased bones with metal rods (杆) in her left leg. Arceneaux said she never thought she would be able to go to space. But when the call came “out of the blue” from Jared Isaacman, CEO and founder of Shift4 Payments, asking her if she would like to go to space, she said without hesitation, “Yes, yes, absolutely!”
Isaacman had always intended to go to space. Hence when SpaceX announced the world’s first all-commercial astronaut mission, the 37-year-old billionaire, instantly booked the available four seats. The flying enthusiast announced that he would donate three seats to members of the general public. Hayley, the first crew member to be announced, will represent the pillar (支柱) of “hope” — a nod to her survival of cancer and frontline work as a physician at St. Jude. The remaining passengers, representing the pillars of “generosity” and “prosperity”, will be chosen randomly to raise $200 million for St. Jude, which treats children at no charge.
Before the mission launch later this year, the crew will undergo intense training. The mission, which will orbit Earth every 90 minutes, will be carefully monitored by SpaceX mission control scientists from Earth. Upon the mission’s completion, the Dragon will reenter Earth’s atmosphere for a soft water landing off the coast of Florida.

A new UBC Okanagan study finds children not only gain the benefits of working with therapy (治疗) dogs – they enjoy it too.
“While we do frequently see children improve in therapy dog programs, we didn’t have data to support that they enjoyed the time as well,” says Nicole Harris, who conducted this research while a master’s student in the School of Education.
The research saw 22 children from the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club take part in a series of sessions to help them build their social skills. Over six weeks, the children were accompanied by therapy dogs as they completed lessons. Each week the children were taught a new skill, such as introducing themselves or giving directions to others. The children would first practice with their assigned therapy dog before running through the exercise with the rest of the group. In the final phase, the children, accompanied by their new furry friend, would practice their new skills with university students located in the building.
“Therapy dogs are often able to reach children and facilitate their growth in surprising ways. We saw evidence of this in the social skills of children when they were paired with a therapy dog,” says Dr. John-Tyler Binfet, associate professor in the School of Education and director of BARK. “The dogs helped create a non-threatening climate while the children were learning these new skills. By interacting with them, the children’s moods improved and their engagement in their lessons increased.” While the children were learning and practising their new skills, the research team collected data.
At the end of the six weeks, Harris interviewed eight children, aged 5 to 11 years old, who regularly attended the sessions. Each child indicated the social skill-training program with therapy dogs was an enjoyable and positive experience and the dogs were a meaningful and essential part of the program.
As a full-time elementary school teacher, Harris notes that schools have become increasingly important in helping students develop social and emotional skills, and this research could contribute to the development of future school-based or after-school programs.
28. What was Harris’s research meant to explore
A. When and how children could learn new social skills well.
B. Whether working with therapy dogs was pleasant to kids.
C. Why therapy dogs benefited kids’ learning of social skills.
D What helped children learn and practice new social skills.
29. What does the underlined word “facilitate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Promote. B. Maintain. C. Influence. D. Determine.
30. What do we know about the process of the research
A. The behavior of 22 children aged 5 to 11 was recorded.
B. The participants were taught a skill and tested 6 weeks later.
C. University students were also involved to help with the study.
D. Most participants were interviewed at the end of the research.
31. What does Harris think of the research
A. It’s an important part of elementary school education.
B. It should be carried out in elementary school separately.
C. It can help develop students’ social and emotional skills.
D. It serves as reference for developing school programs.
D
Improvements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that a rebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.
A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.
Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.
“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.
The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hoped for savings dates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.
If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carbon capture technology than is currently being planned for.
But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.
32 Which of the following is a rebound effect
A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.
B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.
C. A family saves money by using energy saving devices.
D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.
33. How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research
A. By interviewing economists.
B. By analyzing former studies.
C. By modeling the rebound effect.
D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.
34. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with
A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.
B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.
C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.
D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.
35. What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect
A. Positive. B. Pessimistic.
C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving.

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。
Everything about moving day was a puzzle. I didn't know anything about our new building on a new street. Our old life was broken into pieces and packed up in piled boxes. I wondered if it would ever fit back together again.
Mom introduced me to our new neighbours, the Chens. Mrs Chen worked with Mom at the job she'd just started. Mr Chen was a famous craftsman(匠人) from China.
Mom said it was a fresh start, but it felt broken to me. I just wanted things to go back to how they had been before.
After the first day at my new school, I walked home alone. Mom had told me she had to work. I was still hoping she'd meet me after the bell. I had to open the door myself with the new key. I felt a bit hungry and went straight into the kitchen, ripping tape from the packed boxes while I searched for a clean plate. My fingers slipped, and something went crashing to the ground.
“Benjamin” cried Mom from the doorway. I didn't hear her come in. “What just broke ” she asked, kneeling to pick up the pieces. In her hands, I recognized the shattered pieces. It was Grandma's bowl. “I can't believe you broke this,” she said.
“Well, I can't believe we have to live here now! I can't believe I have to switch schools, and I can't believe you didn't even meet me after my first day” I ran into my room, slamming the door behind me.
The broom swept across the kitchen floor. Then the click of Mom's bedroom door closed behind her. I sneaked out into the kitchen and found the fragments in the dustbin. There were so many pieces in here, but maybe I could put them back together. Turning the pieces, I tried to match them,but this bowl would never look the same again.
“I'm sorry I yelled,” said Mom, as she opened her door. “Please just throw out the pieces. We can't make a fresh start with broken things.”
As I wandered down the hall, Mr Chen was emptying his garbage.
