A small accident led to profound changes in the life of Yang Li, an artisan (手艺人), who is from the Miao ethnic group. In 201l, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand.
The work is a perfect combination of traditional embroidery patterns and the natural textures (纹理) of the leaves. It has a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery matched with the characteristics of contemporary craftsmanship.
As a native Miao woman with an inborn love of embroidery, Yang opened a folk culture products shop with her sister in 2011. “People are becoming less familiar with traditional handicrafts, and I want to contribute all I can to change this situation.” Yang says. At first, the small shop did not earn a significant income as there were many similar products on the market. She gradually realized that it was important to establish her own brand and launch products with distinct features.
That’s when she was inspired by the cut. In July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf when she was hiking in Fanjing Mountain. A bold idea came into her head: “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroider yet ”
Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was improving the flexibility of the leaves and making them as soft as cloth. On Oct 16, a day she will never forget, Yang finally created a shiny, thin and unbreakable piece of leaf vein. Her idea of leaf-vein embroidery came to completion after hundreds of experiments.
Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women and people with disabilities. “I will keep doing the leaf vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful.” she says.
24．What do we know about Yang Li’s folk culture products shop
A. It was inspired by a cut by a leaf in her hand.
B. It was intended to preserve traditional Chinese handicrafts.
C. It was a failure before she began to sell similar products.
D. It perfectly combined traditional Chinese books and drawings.
25．What is Yang Li’s difficulty in making her leaf-vein embroidery
A. Finding cloth with vein-like texture. B. Creating a new embroidery pattern.
C. Softening up leaves for better flexibility. D. Changing leaves into unbreakable cloth.
26．Which of the following best describes Yang Li
A. Humorous and optimistic. B. Caring and patient.
C. Persistent and demanding. D. Ambitious and innovative
27．What is the text mainly about
A. An embroidery skill. B. An admirable artisan.
C. A cultural shop. D. A promising career.
C
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.
Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist (古生物学家) at the University of Edinburgh, suggested the way other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.
He described the potential plight (境况，困境) of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55m years ago.
Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than plumper animals and can thus better shed (去除) excess heat.” he writes.
Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added，“That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures spike pretty quickly, which does raise the question: if temperatures do spike really quickly, might humans get smaller And I think that’s certainly reasonable.”
In a recent study, researchers studying human remains over the past million years have also suggested that temperature is a major predictor of body size variation, while scientists studying red deer have said that warmer winters in northern Europe and Scandinavia may lead to the body size of these animals becoming smaller.
However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak, while the strong relations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.
Lister is also sceptical that humans will shrink as the climate heats. “We are not really controlled by natural selection.” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, and we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”
28．According to Brusatte, early horses got smaller in body size in order to_________.
A. stay cool. B. avoid hunters. C. keep warm . D. keep balance.
29．What does the underlined word “spike” probably mean
A. Fall. B. Go up. C. Remain steady. D. Change.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards the new finding
A. Confused. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Positive.
31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To demonstrate the relationship between nature and people’s lifestyle.
B. To introduce the relations between climate change and human body size
C. To cast light on the potential impact of changed mammal body size.
D. To warn people of the survival crisis mammals are faced with.
D
Self-control is the ability to regulate and adjust responses in order to avoid undesirable behaviors, increase desirable ones, and achieve long-term mon goals such as losing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy food, giving up bad habits, and saving money are just a few worthwhile ambitions that people believe require self-control.
One 2011 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that 27 percent of subjects identified a lack of willpower as the primary factor keeping them from reaching their goals. Researchers have found that people who have better self-control tend to be healthier and happier. In one experiment, students who exhibited greater self-control had better grades and higher test scores,
and were more likely to be admitted to a competitive academic program. The study also found that when it came to academic success, self-control was a more important factor than IQ scores.
The psychologist Walter Mischel conducted famous experiments in 1975 that were related to delayed enjoyment. In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats. At this point, the researcher would leave the child alone in a room with a single treat. Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat.
Based on his research, Mischel proposed what he referred to as a “hot-and-cool” system to explain the ability to delay gratification. The hot system refers to the part of our willpower that is emotional and impulsive (冲动的) and urges us to act upon our desires. The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational (理性的) and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses.
Self-control is an important skill that allows us to regulate behavior in order to achieve our long-term goals. Research has shown that self-control is not only important for goal attainment, and people with greater willpower also tend to do better on all sides.
32．From Paragraph 1, we can learn that a good self-control ability helps people .
A. avoid various possible troubles. B. communicate well with others.
C. show proper behaviors consciously. D. deal with more important things timely.
33．What kind of students does the author think will most probably do best in studies
A. Those having the highest IQ scores. B. Those respecting the teacher most.
C. Those having the greatest willpower. D. Those performing most actively in class.
34．What can we learn from the experiments made by Mischel in 1975
A. Few children could get two treats.
B. Not all the kids was short of patience.
C. Most of the children ate another treat.
D. Self-control is very important for one’s future.
35．Which of the following behaviors belongs to the cool system
A. Consuming plenty of sweet food. B. Staying up late at night often.
C. Copying others’ homework. D. Quitting drinking high-sugar drinks.

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。
How To Cultivate Your Confidence
Self-confidence, the combination of self-efficacy and self-esteem, is an essential part of humanity. A person with self-confidence generally is willing to take risks to achieve his personal goals. Someone who lacks self-confidence, however, is less likely to feel that he can achieve his goals 36 .
Identify your negative thoughts
Your negative thoughts might sound like this: “I can’t do that,” “I will surely fail”. This inner voice is pessimistic and unhelpful and will hold you back from achieving high self-esteem and greater self-confidence.
Turn your negative thoughts to positive thoughts
37 . This may take the form of positive affirmations, such as “I am going to try it,” “I can be successful if I work at it,” or “people will listen to me.” Start with just a few positive thoughts a day.
Refuse to allow negative thoughts to occur more often than positive thoughts.
Eventually, your positive thoughts should be given more “brain space” than your negative thoughts. 38 .
39
Avoid spending time around things that can make you feel bad about yourself again. These might be reminders from the past, clothing that no longer fits, or places that don’t fit with your new goals of gaining confidence. Though you may not be able to get rid of every negative source in your life, you can certainly think about how to cut your losses. 40 .
A．Get away from your past.
B．Rid reminders of your negativity.
C．This will go a long way in building up your self-confidence.
D．This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.
E．The more your positive thoughts get, the less your negative thoughts get.
F．As you pay attention to your negative thoughts, turn them around to positive thoughts.
G．The good news is that self-confidence is something that you can build on your own.

In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 41 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E.

letter — so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the 45 , the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her 46 . Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11– year–old girl’s honesty, even when it 47 her the contest. But the fact is that she 48 the biggest contest that day: the contest of her 49 .

Dear schoolmates，
March 3 is WorldWildlife Day whose aim is to raise awareness of wildlife protection.
Unfortunately, many wild animals have disappeared or face the possibility of extinction. Meanwhile, many
animals are hunted for fur or food. Undoubtedly, wildlife is an essential part of our planet, which plays a
significant role in the ecology. The extinction of wildlife can have wide-ranging effects on humankind. Therefore,
it is necessary to take effective measures to protect wild animals, such as creating wildlife reserves to provide the
animals with comfortable habitats and passing laws to raise the awareness of wildlife conservation to a higher
level.
Please join us and do your part to protect wild animals. I’m convinced our efforts will eventually pay off.

Nowadays, foreign visitors have been returning to Paris. And outdoor booksellers have also made their return to
the neighborhood near Paris’ famous Seine River. The tradition of selling secondhand books by the Seine River
dates back to 500 years ago.
Rachid Bouanou is a former sailor and repairman. He is now selling secondhand books to visitors as they pass by.
The Paris city government recently approved Bouanou and 17 other new riverside booksellers. This brings the
total number of booksellers along the river to 230. The city government permits the riverside spots to be used for
five years. The booksellers do not pay rent, but they must stay open at least four days a week.
The Seine book stands are not only for tourists. Parisians also love to walk along the river and look through the
booksellers’ offerings. Kubilai Iksel is a 27-year-old Parisian. He says, “It’s very encouraging that new sellers
have arrived. It’s a sign that it’s not going to disappear. It’s one of the most wonderful things about Paris.”
