Bianca Brown, a junior at Springfield High School, had always enjoyed arts and crafts (工艺) as a child. So, when her busy schedule was crossed out by COVID-19, Bianca looked to her past to design her future.
She ordered ingredients (材料) and mixed them together to create soaps of different shapes and other personal care products. “I really could start a business doing this,” she thought.
Thus, Bianca created Simply B. LLC, a beauty brand (品牌) selling personal care products to friends and family at first. Through the use of the social media app, TikTok, Bianca was able to reach thousands of customers.
“I woke up to 50 orders the next day after my first video spread on the Internet,” she said. “It’s unbelievable. I don’ t even know how I really got all that done, to be honest with you.”
Bianca is among the busiest at her high school. She plays volleyball, runs track and field, and recently started a Black student union. She is a member of the community service club and is also a part of the National Honor Society. With her high marks, it’s clear that none of her academic (学业的) responsibilities take a back seat to her small business. But still, Bianca succeeds as both a student and businesswoman.
Bianca hopes to continue building her brand in the future and possibly help other children follow their dreams. “I really want to influence other kids and show them how to be young businessmen or businesswomen and feel that someone could be encouraged by me,” she said.

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
8. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
9. What does Hill say about Chinese women
A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world.
10. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
D
In a series of studies, researchers found highly trained dogs may be more successful than untrained pets in independently solving newly-presented problems.
Researchers have discovered that one of the factors underlying this process may be persistence (坚持). It involves reinforcement, the principle that behaviors that are rewarded become stronger and more frequent. The other side of this is extinction, which refers to the fact that behaviors that are not rewarded grow weaker and become less likely to appear. When extinction sets in, the animal will simply quit before the problem is solved. It is possible that highly trained dogs have learned to persist and thus have developed resistance to extinction, which would make them better problem solvers.
In this recent study, the researchers looked at 26 adult dogs divided into two groups, “trained dogs” and “pet dogs”. There were two tasks that the dogs were tested on. One was a social learning task where the dog had to learn to look directly into the experimenter’s eyes. Every time the dog stared at the experimenter’s face, they received a treat (reinforcement). Once the dogs were performing this task, the extinction stage began, and the staring behavior was no longer rewarded in order to see how persistent the newly learned behavior was.
The second task focused on problem-solving. It involved a flat disk that had bone-shaped plastic bones. The dogs had to learn to remove the plastic bones to obtain the treat hiding under each one. After the series of rewarded trials, the extinction stage began, and no more reinforcements were provided for removing the bones.
In the social learning task, the trained dogs gazed at the experimenters more than the pet dogs during extinction. While in the problem-solving task, the trained dogs picked up a larger number of bones during extinction. In other words, for dogs who had been trained, their newly learned behaviors persisted longer and were stronger than the behaviors of the pet dogs who received no training in any area.
12. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By stating a fact. B. By raising a doubt.
C By making an assumption. D. By presenting a conclusion.
13. Which of the following can be seen as “reinforcement”
A. Chaining a dog up while walking it every day.
B. Giving a goat some grass every time it stands up.
C. Putting a fish back into the pool every time it jumps out.
D. Yelling at a cat every time it fails to catch a mouse.
14. How can dogs benefit from training in the experiment
A. Their newly learned behaviors last longer.
B. They can grow stronger than untrained dogs.
C. They are more likely to live longer.
D. They are better at helping their friends.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. How researchers carry out animal experiments
B. Why trained dogs don’t give up easily
C. Why persistent dogs make better pets
D. How to pick out a suitable pet dog

He was fifteen years old and still on his father's farm. He loved his father. He had not known it until one day a few days before Christmas when he had overheard what his father was saying to his mother. “Mary, I hate to call Rob in the mornings. He's growing so fast and he needs his sleep. If you could see how he sleeps when I go in to wake him up! I wish I could manage alone.”
“Well, you can't, Adam.” His mother's voice was brisk, “Besides, he isn't a child anymore. It's time he took his turn to help milk the cow.”
“Yes,” his father said slowly. “But I sure do hate to wake him.”
When he heard these words, something in him spoke: his father loved him! He had never thought of it before, taking the tie of their blood for granted. Now that he knew his father loved him, he got up, stumbling blind with sleep and pulled on his clothes.
And then on the night before Christmas, that year when he was fifteen, he lay for a few minutes thinking about the next day. He wished he had a better present for his father instead of the usual tie from the ten - cent store. He lay on his side and looked out of his attic window.
A thought struck him like a silver dagger. Why should he not give his father a special gift out there in the barn (畜棚) He could get up early, earlier than four O'clock, and he could creep into the barn and get all the milking done. He laughed to himself as he gazed at the stars. It was what he would do, and he mustn't sleep too soundly.

推理判断题。根据第一段“In a series of studies, researchers found highly trained dogs may be more successful than untrained pets in independently solving newly-presented problems.(在一系列研究中，研究人员发现，在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功)”可知，第一段陈述一项研究结果，即在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功，接着文章开始解释这一现象的原因。由此推知，作者通过提出一个实验结论来引起文章主题的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“It involves reinforcement, the principle that behaviors that are rewarded become stronger and more frequent.(它包括强化，原则是得到奖励的行为变得更强大和更频繁)”可知，“强化”是指在得到奖励后，行为会变得更强大和更频繁。由此推知，B项“每次山羊站起来的时候给它一些草。”属于强化，故选B。

In other words, for dogs who had been trained, their newly learned behaviors persisted longer and were stronger than the behaviors of the pet dogs who received no training in any area.(在解决问题的过程中，受过训练的狗在灭绝的过程中捡起了更多的骨头。换句话说，对于经过训练的狗来说，它们新学会的行为比那些没有接受任何领域训练的狗持续时间更长，行为也更强烈)”可知，实验中接受过训练的狗们新学会的行为持续的时间更长。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In a series of studies, researchers found highly trained dogs may be more successful than untrained pets in independently solving newly-presented problems.(在一系列研究中，研究人员发现，在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功)”和第二段中“Researchers have discovered that one of the factors underlying this process may be persistence (坚持)... It is possible that highly trained dogs have learned to persist and thus have developed resistance to extinction, which would make them better problem solvers.(研究人员发现，这个过程背后的因素之一可能是持久性……训练有素的狗可能已经学会了坚持，从而产生了对灭绝的抵抗力，这将使它们成为更好的问题解决者)”和下文描述的实验过程可知，研究人员发现，在独立解决新出现的问题方面，训练有素的狗可能比未经训练的宠物更成功。这是因为训练有素的狗可能已经学会了坚持。文章主要分析了其原因——为什么训练有素的狗不会轻易放弃。由此可知，B项“为什么训练有素的狗不会轻易放弃”适合做文章标题。故选B。

46. 网络时代，热词潮涌。传统事物在创造性转化、创新性发展的同时，也值得我们仔细审视。譬如，近期人们习惯地把“Thank you”说成“栓q”，这一现象在Tik Tok平台上产生了诸多质疑。作为复兴中学高三的学生，你有怎样的思考与理解 请你发送一条帖子，畅谈你的认知与看法。(要求：字数不少于80词)
A post on my perception
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A post on my perception
In the internet era, many traditional things are transformed creatively, and so is language. However, some hot words, for example, the recent practice of saying “thank you” as “shuan q”, have raised heated argument. The Chinese character “shuan(栓)” in Chinese means “block”, with which we can't express gratitude sincerely. It is not serious. Language is the symbol of a culture. In my opinion, we should take it carefully. It is everyone’s duty to promote our language. When communicating with others, we should show our respect to the people and the language culture. We are what we say. Mind your words.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
He was fifteen years old and still on his father's farm. He loved his father. He had not known it until one day a few days before Christmas, when he had overheard what his father was saying to his mother. “Mary, I hate to call Rob in the mornings. He's growing so fast and he needs his sleep. If you could see how he sleeps when I go in to wake him up! I wish I could manage alone.”
“Well, you can't, Adam.” His mother's voice was brisk, “Besides, he isn't a child anymore. It's time he took his turn to help milk the cow.”
“Yes,” his father said slowly. “But I sure do hate to wake him.”
When he heard these words, something in him spoke: his father loved him! He had never thought of it before, taking the tie of their blood for granted. Now that he knew his father loved him, he got up, stumbling blind with sleep and pulled on his clothes.
And then on the night before Christmas, that year when he was fifteen, he lay for a few minutes thinking about the next day. He wished he had a better present for his father instead of the usual tie from the ten - cent store. He lay on his side and looked out of his attic window.
A thought struck him like a silver dagger. Why should he not give his father a special gift, out there in the barn (畜棚) He could get up early, earlier than four O'clock, and he could creep into the barn and get all the milking done. He laughed to himself as he gazed at the stars. It was what he would do, and he mustn't sleep too soundly.
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

He must have awakened twenty times.

Paragraph 2:
Back in his room he had only a minute to jump into bed, for he heard his father up.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He must have awakened twenty times. At a quarter to three he got up and put on his clothes. He crept downstairs, and let himself out. He had never milked all alone before, but the task went more easily than he had ever known it to go before. Milking for once was not a chore. It was something else, a gift to his father who loved him. He finished, the two milk cans were full, and he covered them and put them by the door. Then he went out of the barn and closed the door behind him.
Back in his room he had only a minute to jump into bed, for he heard his father up. He put the covers over his head to silence his quick breathing. The minutes were endless ten, fifteen, he did not know how many - and he heard his father's footsteps. The door opened and he lay still. “Rob! You son of a . . . ”His father was laughing, a strange sobbing sort of laugh. “Son, I thank you. Nobody ever did a nicer thing. The best Christmas gift I ever had. ” They had both remembered it: that blessed Christmas dawn when alone with the cows in the barn he had made his first gift of true love.
