Mishra, an Indian-born student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, was picking up alcohol bottles after an evening party with friends, when he dropped a bottle. As Mishra swept up the glass, he wondered, “Where does this go after the bottle is broken ” After researching, Mishra learned that 77% of glass bottles, even those that are put in a recycling bin, end up in landfills after the glass breaks.
Mishra spent hours learning how to neatly cut and create all sorts of new items from old glass. Then, together with a few other peers, he founded a start-up called Rescued Glass YVR. The group browsed beach cleanups and restaurants to gather used glass bottles, which we returned into a variety of platters, candles, glasses, and other items in their micro factory, When they sell these items in local markets, they got positive feedback, “It turns out that people are really enjoying it,” said Mishra, “They like the product,”
The student start-up built a name for itself and grew in size. By the end of 2022, it had a team of nearly two dozen students and had already succeeded in rescuing more than 6, 000 bottles. That's when Rescued Glass YVR decided to rebrand and comeback bigger.
The business gave themselves another name-Mosa. Mishra said, “In those house parties the alcohol that we were drinking was Mosa, The name really helps us when we are thinking about larger conversations. It's always important that you remember where you're coming from and where the process of this entire idea ever started.” In addition to producing beautiful decor items and saving glass from landfills, Mosa has inspired other Vancouverites to get involved in making the world a better place.
It is said that glass producing is responsible for 86 million tons of carbon emissions(排放)yearly, in addition to the garbage glass that ends up in landfills, Mosa is making good use of glass, and inspiring others to do so as well. All because of a little inspiration after a college party.
24. What caused Mishra to found his start-up

B. A bottle collecting activity.
C. A bottle dropping accident.

On the farm in a red outbuilding behind Luther Jackson Middle School, Mark Smith picked a piece of cabbage off the plant and took a bite.
“Tastes like victory,” he said, satisfied.
Fifteen engineering students at the school, led by Smith, their engineering teacher, have developed and built the farm using aquaponics (鱼菜共生) technology, combining the methods of hydroponics, growing plants with water rather than soil, and aquaculture, the process of growing and raising fish. The fish waste is used as food for the plants, which filter(过滤) the water to be reused in the fish tank.
“The creative project was put forward by the students,” Smith says. “Effectively combining technology with education, it serves to provide a unique learning experience, involving students in core STEM subjects like Math, Biology, Chemistry and Engineering, It's our hope that it can help increase students' interest and hands-on skills so that more students will be inspired and choose to take up engineering as their career in the future.”
Not only can students study fish, plants and bacteria(细菌) interacting in a living ecosystem, but they're also in charge of every aspect of developing and keeping the farm, from ordering supplies to harvesting the greens, Camryn, 14, put a test tube into the fish tank and dropped some chemicals to test PH levels and some substances in it, She held the tube up to light, watching the color.
Behind her, Yusuf worked along a table with other students to harvest the cabbage, stuffing the leaves into bags to deliver later that afternoon to about 70 families. For him, the ability to give back to his community is the best part of the project.
“We should all be proud of ourselves,” Yusuf said, “We're making stuff that people are going to be eating.”
28. What technology do the students apply to the farm
A. Robotics and artificial intelligence.
B. Mechanized planting and harvesting.
C. Raising good bacteria to grow grain.
D. Combining fish farming and soilless planting.
29. What does Smith wish to do through the project
A. Create more possible engineers.
B. Promote students' survival skills.
C. Improve the fame of the school.
D. Teach students how to test water quality.
30. What makes Yusuf feel the best

C. The company of his classmates.
D. Their contributions to the neighborhood.
31. Which of the following best describes the school project

Around half the people we consider our friends don't consider us theirs in return, as recent research indicates. As with the famous finding that almost everyone thinks they're in the top 50% of safe drivers, we can't all be the ones with the right sense of who really likes us.
And if we're struggling through life with such a wrong understanding of our social circles, what about all the other received wisdom about friendship's importance
It has been found that friends keep us physically healthy, alive for longer, less possibility of depression and more successful—but how much of that, especially when the research is based on self-reports, comes from those actually having friends, instead of those believing that they do
Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising to learn that, when it comes to friendship, we're in the control of an ego-boosting misconception(自我膨胀的错误想法): That's true in many sides of life. People with healthy self-esteem(自尊) usually overestimate both their interpersonal skills and their control over events. Some psychologists find that slightly depressed people have an exacter grasp of their abilities than the non-depressed.
You needn't react strongly to the thought that your “friends” might secretly not like you since this particular study focused on university students. It's well-known that our social circles become smaller as we grow up, too often, especially in a friend-starved old age. But isn't it possible that this decrease is better thought of as choosing the list of true friends, as we focus on those friendships that are actually rewarding, while we quit those who don't treat us in the same way as we treat them
There are certainly reasons to worry about a loneliness crisis among the elderly, but having only a few friends may not be good sign for it. If I make it to my final years with only a handful of friendships, it's not a sad state, because life has decreased them down to the ones that really count. I'd call it a better use of my remaining time.
32. Why does the author mention the famous finding in paragraph 1
A. To state that all drivers are good.
B. To illustrate we can't assess friends properly，
C. To argue that we don't understand social circles.
D. To stress the importance of friendship，
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Friendship is of great significance for our life，
B. Friendship may not be so easy to develop as it appears.
C. Previous research findings about friendship maybe wrong.
D. Previous research on friendship is largely based on self-reports.
34. Who have the best understanding of their own abilities according to some psychologists
A. Those with high self-esteem.
B. Those with severe depression.
C. Those with slight depression，
D. Those with healthy self-esteem.
35. What's the author's opinion on friends of the seniors
A. It's sad to have only a few friends，
B. It's better to have a great many friends.
C. It's necessary to quit unimportant friends.
D. It's OK to have a handful of true friends.

Every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. has a stroke (中风), and about three-quarters occur in people aged 65 or older. 36 And the lifestyle steps you take can be especially powerful in avoiding stroke. Here's what you can do now to reduce your risk.
37 .Take high blood pressure, for example, which some research suggests is responsible for almost half of all strokes. A heart-healthy eating plan may help control it. Also try to limit salt intake, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly.
38 , ask your doctor what levels you should try to achieve and whether medicines are proper. Staying out of the high blood pressure range can be challenging with age due to the higher possibility for medicine side effects. Another important condition to watch for is atrial fibrillation (AFib) (房颤), an irregular and often rapid heartbeat, which affects at least 10 percent of people over age 80. 39 .
A heart-healthy lifestyle can reduce that risk. But older adults may still develop it, so report irregular heartbeats, chest pressure, shortness of breath, and dizziness to your doctor right away. 40 , the American Heart Association says people over age 65 should have a yearly examination to check for the condition. Treatments include blood thinners and the surgical(手术的)implantation of a pacemaker.
Type -2 diabetes(糖尿病) and high blood fat make you more likely to have a stroke as well, so it's also important to get them under control.
A. As AFib is regarded as incurable
B. Because AFib sometimes has no signs
C. But about 80 percent of all strokes are preventable
D. When it is easy for you to control your blood pressure
E. If your blood pressure is high even with the above measures
F. People with AFib are about five times as likely to have a stroke
G. Keeping certain conditions at bay can cut the likelihood of a stroke

On the advice of a wise man, he decided to call on all the young girls of the region so as to find the most worthy candidate(候选人). An old lady, who had served in the palace for many years, heard about the preparations for this gathering and she was very upset, for her daughter developed a secret love for the prince. When the old lady got home, she told her daughter and was horrified to learn that she intended to go to the palace.
The old lady knew that her daughter would not stand a chance. All the richest and most beautiful girls from the region would be present. She did not want her daughter's suffering to turn into madness. However, her daughter turned a deaf ear to her advice. She knew it was her only chance to spend at least a few moments close to the prince, and that would be enough for her. That night, when the young woman reached the palace, all the most beautiful girls were indeed there, wearing the most beautiful clothes and the most beautiful jewels(首饰). Surrounded by the members of his court, the prince announced the challenge.
He gave each girl a seed and said that the young woman who brought him the loveliest flower would be the future queen. The girl took her seed and planted it in a pot. She took care of it with great patience and tenderness. Three months passed and no shoots appeared. She tried everything she could. She asked the farmers and peasants, who showed her the most varied methods of farming, but without result.
At last, six months were up, and still nothing grew in her pot. Even though she had nothing to show, she told her mother that she would go back to the palace on the agreed date and at the agreed hour.

1.续写词数应为150左右；

第二节
The girl appeared in the palace with her plant less pot. Inside, she knew that this would be her last meeting with her truelove. Full of sadness, she saw all the other candidates had achieved wonderful results: Each girl bore a flower lovelier than the past, in the most varied forms and colours. Finally, the longed-for moment came. The prince studied each of the candidates' pot with great care and attention. Having inspected them all, he announced that the servant's daughter would be his new wife.
The result that the poor girl was chosen was a surprise to everyone present. All the other girls protested, saying that he had chosen the only one of them who had failed to grow anything at all. In response, the prince calmly explained the reasoning behind the challenge. This young woman was the only one who cultivated the flower that made her worthy of becoming the queen: the flower of honesty. As all the seeds the prince had handed out were not able to grow and nothing could ever have grown from them.

The time is seven thirty and here is radio JPD's weather and traffic information. Travelling will be difficult today because of heavy snow last night. Traffic is moving slowly on the M16 and M30 motorway and the police say the M43 will stay closed for more than an hour, until nine. In the city, an accident at the North Street means that it is closed to all cars, and drivers must use New Street or Lake Street. Because of this, some journeys by bus are taking longer. The No.16 bus to the city center is really late. There are also problems for railway passengers because of thick snow on the tracks. All trains to Oxford are late and there will be no trains to London until lunchtime. Passengers should phone for the latest information about trains. This afternoon, it is going to be very windy.

Mishra, an Indian-born student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, was picking up alcohol bottles after an evening party with friends, when he dropped a bottle. As Mishra swept up the glass, he wondered, “Where does this go after the bottle is broken ” After researching, Mishra learned that 77% of glass bottles, even those that are put in a recycling bin, end up in landfills after the glass breaks.
Mishra spent hours learning how to neatly cut and create all sorts of new items from old glass. Then, together with a few other peers, he founded a start-up called Rescued Glass YVR. The group browsed beach cleanups and restaurants to gather used glass bottles, which we returned into a variety of platters, candles, glasses, and other items in their micro factory, When they sell these items in local markets, they got positive feedback, “It turns out that people are really enjoying it,” said Mishra, “They like the product,”
The student start-up built a name for itself and grew in size. By the end of 2022, it had a team of nearly two dozen students and had already succeeded in rescuing more than 6, 000 bottles. That's when Rescued Glass YVR decided to rebrand and comeback bigger.
The business gave themselves another name-Mosa. Mishra said, “In those house parties the alcohol that we were drinking was Mosa, The name really helps us when we are thinking about larger conversations. It's always important that you remember where you're coming from and where the process of this entire idea ever started.” In addition to producing beautiful decor items and saving glass from landfills, Mosa has inspired other Vancouverites to get involved in making the world a better place.
It is said that glass producing is responsible for 86 million tons of carbon emissions(排放)yearly, in addition to the garbage glass that ends up in landfills, Mosa is making good use of glass, and inspiring others to do so as well. All because of a little inspiration after a college party.

On the farm in a red outbuilding behind Luther Jackson Middle School, Mark Smith picked a piece of cabbage off the plant and took a bite.
“Tastes like victory,” he said, satisfied.
Fifteen engineering students at the school, led by Smith, their engineering teacher, have developed and built the farm using aquaponics (鱼菜共生) technology, combining the methods of hydroponics, growing plants with water rather than soil, and aquaculture, the process of growing and raising fish. The fish waste is used as food for the plants, which filter(过滤) the water to be reused in the fish tank.
“The creative project was put forward by the students,” Smith says. “Effectively combining technology with education, it serves to provide a unique learning experience, involving students in core STEM subjects like Math, Biology, Chemistry and Engineering, It's our hope that it can help increase students' interest and hands-on skills so that more students will be inspired and choose to take up engineering as their career in the future.”
Not only can students study fish, plants and bacteria(细菌) interacting in a living ecosystem, but they're also in charge of every aspect of developing and keeping the farm, from ordering supplies to harvesting the greens, Camryn, 14, put a test tube into the fish tank and dropped some chemicals to test PH levels and some substances in it, She held the tube up to light, watching the color.
Behind her, Yusuf worked along a table with other students to harvest the cabbage, stuffing the leaves into bags to deliver later that afternoon to about 70 families. For him, the ability to give back to his community is the best part of the project.
“We should all be proud of ourselves,” Yusuf said, “We're making stuff that people are going to be eating.”
28. What technology do the students apply to the farm
A. Robotics and artificial intelligence.
B. Mechanized planting and harvesting.
C. Raising good bacteria to grow grain.
D. Combining fish farming and soilless planting.
29. What does Smith wish to do through the project
A. Create more possible engineers.
B. Promote students' survival skills.
C. Improve the fame of the school.
D. Teach students how to test water quality.
30. What makes Yusuf feel the best
A. Praise from his community.

D. Their contributions to the neighborhood.
31. Which of the following best describes the school project

Around half the people we consider our friends don't consider us theirs in return, as recent research indicates. As with the famous finding that almost everyone thinks they're in the top 50% of safe drivers, we can't all be the ones with the right sense of who really likes us.
And if we're struggling through life with such a wrong understanding of our social circles, what about all the other received wisdom about friendship's importance
It has been found that friends keep us physically healthy, alive for longer, less possibility of depression and more successful—but how much of that, especially when the research is based on self-reports, comes from those actually having friends, instead of those believing that they do
Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising to learn that, when it comes to friendship, we're in the control of an ego-boosting misconception(自我膨胀的错误想法): That's true in many sides of life. People with healthy self-esteem(自尊) usually overestimate both their interpersonal skills and their control over events. Some psychologists find that slightly depressed people have an exacter grasp of their abilities than the non-depressed.
You needn't react strongly to the thought that your “friends” might secretly not like you since this particular study focused on university students. It's well-known that our social circles become smaller as we grow up, too often, especially in a friend-starved old age. But isn't it possible that this decrease is better thought of as choosing the list of true friends, as we focus on those friendships that are actually rewarding, while we quit those who don't treat us in the same way as we treat them
There are certainly reasons to worry about a loneliness crisis among the elderly, but having only a few friends may not be good sign for it. If I make it to my final years with only a handful of friendships, it's not a sad state, because life has decreased them down to the ones that really count. I'd call it a better use of my remaining time.
32. Why does the author mention the famous finding in paragraph 1
A. To state that all drivers are good.
B. To illustrate we can't assess friends properly，
C. To argue that we don't understand social circles.
D. To stress the importance of friendship，
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Friendship is of great significance for our life，
B. Friendship may not be so easy to develop as it appears.
C. Previous research findings about friendship maybe wrong.
D. Previous research on friendship is largely based on self-reports.
34. Who have the best understanding of their own abilities according to some psychologists
A. Those with high self-esteem.
B. Those with severe depression.
C. Those with slight depression，
D. Those with healthy self-esteem.
35. What's the author's opinion on friends of the seniors
A. It's sad to have only a few friends，
B. It's better to have a great many friends.
C. It's necessary to quit unimportant friends.
D. It's OK to have a handful of true friends.

Every 40 seconds someone in the U.S. has a stroke (中风), and about three-quarters occur in people aged 65 or older. 36 And the lifestyle steps you take can be especially powerful in avoiding stroke. Here's what you can do now to reduce your risk.
37 .Take high blood pressure, for example, which some research suggests is responsible for almost half of all strokes. A heart-healthy eating plan may help control it. Also try to limit salt intake, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly.
38 , ask your doctor what levels you should try to achieve and whether medicines are proper. Staying out of the high blood pressure range can be challenging with age due to the higher possibility for medicine side effects. Another important condition to watch for is atrial fibrillation (AFib) (房颤), an irregular and often rapid heartbeat, which affects at least 10 percent of people over age 80. 39 .
A heart-healthy lifestyle can reduce that risk. But older adults may still develop it, so report irregular heartbeats, chest pressure, shortness of breath, and dizziness to your doctor right away. 40 , the American Heart Association says people over age 65 should have a yearly examination to check for the condition. Treatments include blood thinners and the surgical(手术的)implantation of a pacemaker.
Type -2 diabetes(糖尿病) and high blood fat make you more likely to have a stroke as well, so it's also important to get them under control.
A. As AFib is regarded as incurable
B. Because AFib sometimes has no signs
C. But about 80 percent of all strokes are preventable
D. When it is easy for you to control your blood pressure
E. If your blood pressure is high even with the above measures
F. People with AFib are about five times as likely to have a stroke
G. Keeping certain conditions at bay can cut the likelihood of a stroke

We all know that water is the source of life on Earth. No plant, insect, animal 56 human can survive without it. A new study from the National Institutes of Health highlights how important it is to our health. Researchers find that people 57 drink a lot of water everyday tend to stay 58 (fit) and live longer than those who don't. The research team say drinking enough water is helpful to people 59 (affect) by illnesses related to ages, like heart and lung diseases. They add that it is more likely for adults 60 (poor) hydrated(补充水分) to show signs of ageing and even die at a younger age.
The researchers look at the health data from about 12, 000 adults over a 30-year period. They studied the information of patients who 61 (visit) a hospital five times in the past ten years.

In ancient China, a prince was about to be crowned emperor. However, according to the law, he first had to get married. Since this meant choosing the future queen, the prince needed to find a young woman whom he could trust absolutely.
On the advice of a wise man, he decided to call on all the young girls of the region so as to find the most worthy candidate(候选人). An old lady, who had served in the palace for many years, heard about the preparations for this gathering and she was very upset, for her daughter developed a secret love for the prince. When the old lady got home, she told her daughter and was horrified to learn that she intended to go to the palace.
The old lady knew that her daughter would not stand a chance. All the richest and most beautiful girls from the region would be present. She did not want her daughter's suffering to turn into madness. However, her daughter turned a deaf ear to her advice. She knew it was her only chance to spend at least a few moments close to the prince, and that would be enough for her. That night, when the young woman reached the palace, all the most beautiful girls were indeed there, wearing the most beautiful clothes and the most beautiful jewels(首饰). Surrounded by the members of his court, the prince announced the challenge.
He gave each girl a seed and said that the young woman who brought him the loveliest flower would be the future queen. The girl took her seed and planted it in a pot. She took care of it with great patience and tenderness. Three months passed and no shoots appeared. She tried everything she could. She asked the farmers and peasants, who showed her the most varied methods of farming, but without result.
At last, six months were up, and still nothing grew in her pot. Even though she had nothing to show, she told her mother that she would go back to the palace on the agreed date and at the agreed hour.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The girl appeared in the palace with her plant less pot. The result that the poor girl was chosen was a surprise to everyone present.

22.C【解析】理解具体信息。比较四本书的价格，最后一本价格最低，它的作者是Brigitte Reimann。故选C项。

26.B 【解析】词义猜测。根据下一段中第一句“The business gave themselves another name—Mosa.”可知，画线词的意思应该是重新命名的意思。故选B项。
27.A【解析】理解主旨要义。本文主要讲述了Mishra创立公司，将旧酒瓶变成生活用品的故事，算是变废为宝。故选A项。
C
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是工程老师史密斯带领15名学生，利用水培技术开发并建造了新型农场。
28.D 【解析】理解具体信息。根据第三段中“Fifteen engineering students at the school, led by Smith, their engineering teacher, have developed and built the farm using aqua ponies(鱼菜共生) technology, combining the methods of hydroponics, growing plants with water rather than soil, and aquaculture, the process of growing and raising fish.”可知，学生们在农场中使用的是养鱼与无土种植相结合的方法建造农场。故选D项。

D
【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。一项研究表明，在我们认为是朋友的人中，大约有一半的人并不认为我们是他们的朋友。文章由此出发，认为有关友谊重要性的论断可能并不准确，而且随着年纪增长而缩小的朋友圈可以被更好地理解为筛选真朋友的过程，让我们得以专注于真正的友谊。
32.B【解析】作出判断推理。根据第一段中“As with the famous finding that almost everyone thinks they're in the top 50% of safe drivers, we can't all be the ones with the right sense of who really likes us.”可知，著名的有关安全驾驶员的自我判断其实并不准确，因此作者提到这个发现是为了说明实际上我们不能正确地评估朋友。故选B项。
33.C 【解析】理解主旨要义。根据第三段“It has been found that friends keep us physically healthy, alive for longer, less possibility of depression and more successful—but how much of that, especially when the research is based on self-reports, comes from those actually having friends, instead of those believing that they do ”可知，之前的基于自我报告的、很有可能来自那些自认为有朋友的人的有关友谊的研究得出的结论实际上可能并不准确，可能是错误的。故选C项。
34.C 【解析】理解具体信息。根据第四段中“Some psychologists find that slightly depressed people have an exacter grasp of their abilities than the non-depressed.”可知，有些心理学家认为轻度抑郁的人最了解自己的能力。故选C项。

I'd call it a better use of my remaining time.”可知，作者认为老年阶段仅有的很少的友谊实际上是真正重要的那些，有利于有效利用剩余的生命。因此，作者会建议老年人坦然接受只有几个真正的朋友的事实。故选D项。
第二节
【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。介绍预防中风的一些饮食和生活习惯方面的措施。
36.C【解析】上句提到一个得中风病的比例，C选项“但是大约80%的中风是可以预防的”与上文语义顺承，符合语境。故选C项。
37.G【解析】空格处于段首，为本段的主旨句，下文举例说明用不同方法控制血压对减少中风的作用，所以G选项“控制某些疾病可以降低中风的可能性”能够概括本段主旨。故选G项。
38.E【解析】空格后为祈使句，提出了在某种情况下人们应该采取的措施。E选项“如果采取了上述措施，你的血压仍然很高”正好是后面建议的前提条件。故选E项。

42.D【解析】根据后文以及空格后的“do what he could to draw some attention”可知，此处指Scott的决定。故选D项。

第二节
The girl appeared in the palace with her plant less pot. Inside, she knew that this would be her last meeting with her truelove. Full of sadness, she saw all the other candidates had achieved wonderful results: Each girl bore a flower lovelier than the past, in the most varied forms and colours. Finally, the longed-for moment came. The prince studied each of the candidates' pot with great care and attention. Having inspected them all, he announced that the servant's daughter would be his new wife.
The result that the poor girl was chosen was a surprise to everyone present. All the other girls protested, saying that he had chosen the only one of them who had failed to grow anything at all. In response, the prince calmly explained the reasoning behind the challenge. This young woman was the only one who cultivated the flower that made her worthy of becoming the queen: the flower of honesty. As all the seeds the prince had handed out were not able to grow and nothing could ever have grown from them.

The time is seven thirty and here is radio JPD's weather and traffic information. Travelling will be difficult today because of heavy snow last night. Traffic is moving slowly on the M16 and M30 motorway and the police say the M43 will stay closed for more than an hour, until nine. In the city, an accident at the North Street means that it is closed to all cars, and drivers must use New Street or Lake Street. Because of this, some journeys by bus are taking longer. The No.16 bus to the city center is really late. There are also problems for railway passengers because of thick snow on the tracks. All trains to Oxford are late and there will be no trains to London until lunchtime. Passengers should phone for the latest information about trains. This afternoon, it is going to be very windy. There is going to be much snow this evening. So wear some warm clothes if you have to go out! For more weather information, look at our website.
