A river cruise is a travel experience like no other. From a cruise along the gentle waters of the Danube to a journey through picturesque French countryside, it is such a peaceful and scenic experience. Here’s what to expect as a first timer.
1. Scenic routes
Cruising is a cost-effective way of having a big adventure as you’ll visit several places during your trip. In fact, you can expect to visit a new destination every day on your river cruise. River cruises offer stunning views of the countryside, as they navigate through rivers and canals. You’ll often pass by picturesque towns and villages and enjoy beautiful full-view of riverside landscapes and charming towns.
2. Culture up close
A river cruise allows you to be immersed in your surroundings as you make your way along your route. Plus, you can enjoy guided excursions (短途旅行) to historical sites and local experiences at each destination.
3. Smooth sailing
Rivers are generally calmer than open seas, so you’re less likely to experience seasickness on a river cruise. It’s a smooth ride throughout, even as you pass through the river locks that feature on many European waterways. Travel with like-minded guests.
4. Onboard luxuries
While river cruise ships are smaller, they still offer facilities, such as lounges, fitness centers, and sometimes even pools or hot tubs. Onboard dining options vary, but you can expect a mix of region al and international cuisine. Dining is often open seating. There may be no formal nights, and casual clothes are usually acceptable.
21. What is the passage about
A. Daily life onboard. B. Ship design features.
C. River cruise destinations. D. Cruise expectations for first-times.
22. What is mentioned as a benefit of river cruises compared to ocean cruises

Still Miles to Go
My husband Tom came with a huge grin on his face. He held his arms wide and announced his retirement after working for the Postal Service for thirty-three years. But as time went by, I could tell that Tom had nothing to do at home. He began to pace like a lion, glancing out the windows.
“I think I’ll look for a part-time job,” Tom informed me one day. I felt instant relief. The lion would cease circling, and I could be in peace. We kept our eyes open for job opportunities. A few days later, when our car crept behind a school bus, I remarked “You could drive that bus.” He had driven us over the mountain s through rainstorms on winding roads. Behind the wheel, he seemed fearless. “Of course, I could drive that bus,” he answered back. “But could I drive it with forty-five children bouncing and yelling in the back ” We both laughed at the thought.
That bus became the bumblebee (大黄蜂) that buzzed around me. I pictured Tom happily going off to work again, climbing behind the wheel and setting off on his daily route. My enthusiasm must have attracted Tom because I overheard him on the phone with the transportation department. He was hired.
The very next morning, he was given a bus and a route sheet. Driving the bus turned out rewarding, and Tom is blooming in his new role. I think he likes being the “big guy” on the road.
He is now “Mr. Tom” to his riders and their parents. I hear he is quite amazing. When the pre-K children climb aboard, he fastens the safety belt for them. He greets the children with high-fives. Then he leads them in a quick and fun activity, where they get to shout after hours spent in their quiet classroom. “Goodbye, teachers!” yells Mr. Tom. The little ones repeat it. “Goodbye, school!” Again, they repeat, joyfully. Mr. Tom then yells out the last two lines, and the children laugh and repeat at the top of their lungs.
He has been driving the bus for seven years and has gotten lots of thank-notes from grateful parents. Sometimes, while a school bus passes me, it always warms my heart when the driver is the one I’m hoping to see and I catch the kiss he blows me.
24. Why did Tom decide to look for a part-time job after retirement
A. He was bored at home. B. He missed interacting with people.
C. He needed extra money. D. His wife wanted peace in the house.
25. What was Tom’s initial reaction when his wife suggested he drive a school bus
A. He thought it was a silly idea.
B. He was excited to accept the job.
C. He didn’t think he was qualified for the job.
D. He was unsure if he could handle the disorderly children.
26. What does the author appreciate most about Tom’s new job
A. It keeps him occupied. B. He can interact with children.
C. He overcomes his fear. D. He has found fulfillment in his work.
27. What qualities does Tom demonstrate as a bus driver
A. Patience, kindness and responsibility. B. Carefulness, discipline and authority.
C. Enthusiasm, leadership and courage. D. Sensitivity, flexibility and humor.
C
Norwegian author, playwright and poet Jon Fosse has been named the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy said on Thursday it was for his “innovative plays and prose which gives voice to the unsayable”.
This made him the first Nynorsk writer to receive the prize and the fourth Norwegian to win it, following Sigrid Undset, who won it in 1928. Previous winners of the prize--given for a body of works, rather than a single book-have included Toni Morrison, Doris Lessing, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Bob Dylan.
Born in 1959, Fosse grew up in western Norway, on a small farm in Strandebarm. He started writing poems and stories at age 12, and found writing to be a form of escape. Fosse enrolled at the University of Bergen and studied comparative literature during which time he began writing in Nynorsk, a minority language.
In 1983, Fosse published his first novel Red, Black, kicking off a remarkably prolific (高产的) career. He has published 40 plays, as well as novels, poetry, essays, children’s books and works of translation. Although he started as a poet and novelist, Fosse rose to fame as a playwright. He gained international recognition in the late 1990s with a Paris production of his first play Someone Is Going to Come, which was said to be written in four or five days without revision.
Fosse has long been tipped to receive the Nobel. In 2013, British bookmakers even temporarily suspended betting on the award after numerous bets on his winning, although the prize did not come his way for another decade. When it finally did, the call from the Nobel Prize’s organizers came while Fosse was traveling to Frekhaug, a village on Norway’s west coast. He admitted he was overwhelmed and somewhat frightened.
Nobel committee chairman Anders Olsson said, “What is special with him is the closeness in his writing. It touches on the deepest feelings that you have-anxieties, insecurities, questions of life and death -such things that every human being actually encounters from the very beginning. It doesn’t matter if it is drama, poetry or prose-it has the same kind of appeal to this basic humanness.”
28. What can we learn from the article
A. Fosse won the Nobel Prize for his abundant works.
B. Nynorsk is a widely used Norwegian language for literature.
C. With his career taking off for the first novel, Fosse became globally recognized.
D. It’s believed that Fosse had his first play polished in a couple of days.
29. What can be inferred from the incident in 2013
A. It proved that British bookmakers were against Fosse.
B. It demonstrated that Fosse was a failure for a long time.
C. It indicated that Fosse was in favor with the general public.
D. It revealed that Fosse didn’t receive the Nobel Prize until 2023.
30. What makes Fosse’s writing unique
A. Productivity in works.
B. Diverse types in writing.
C. The language style different from others.
D. Deep emotional connections with humans.
31. Where is this article probably taken from
A. A novel. B. A newspaper. C. A brochure. D. A guidebook.
D
Recent research has found that Martian soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, tested simulated(模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the essential nutrients needed for the crop to grow, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They also found that the pH level of the soil was within the preferable range for growing rice and that the soil was able to support the growth of healthy rice plants.
However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been detected on Mars’ surface which can be toxic to plants.
The team of researchers conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They employed a wild rice variety and two genetically modified strains, which were designed to tolerate environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate. The study revealed that a concentration of 3 grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to 1 gram per kilogram, one of the genetically modified lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.
The discovery could be a game-change r for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions. In addition, studying the growth of plants on Mars could provide valuable insights into the potential for life on other planets and help scientists to better understand the conditions necessary for life to exist.
32. What does the underlined word “toxic” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Essential. B. Salty. C. Nutritious. D. Poisonous.
33. Which would NOT help rice plants grow under Martian soil conditions
A. Maintaining the ideal soil pH. B. Selecting a drought-resistant variety.
C. Increasing soil perchlorate levels. D. Lowering perchlorate concentration.
34. Why is the discovery that Martian soil contains rice nutrients significant
A. Because it reduces future mission costs.
B. Because it reveals the origins of the universe.
C. Because it focuses on mining on other planets.
D. Because it contradicts the idea that Mars has no life.
35. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Let’s Go to Mars for Fun! B. Martian Soil could Grow Rice!
C. Are You Interested in Planting Rice D. What are Martian Essential Nutrients

Have you ever wondered about the significance of emotions in our life 36 In order to grow and be better than before, you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Let’s explore some powerful strategies to help you become emotionally mature!
Try using “I” statements.
Whenever your feelings are disrupted or you get hurt, it is good to tell others how you really feel. 37 You need to tell others how you feel about the situation but do so in a non-aggressive way. The best way to do this is by using “I” statements instead of “You” statements. Here is an example: “I feel miserable and heartbroken”. You should use this statement instead of, “You make me feel miserable and heartbroken”.
38
In some situations, your loved ones could be hurting you through their words or their actions, and you could also be wrong. You must not let negative thoughts question your judgment. What happens in more than 70% of situations is that we let negative thoughts take hold of us, which is completely wrong. Whenever the other person is behaving in an upsetting manner, ask yourself if you have done anything to make them feel like that.
Take responsibility for your actions.
Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions. If you don’t own whatever you say or do, how can you become emotionally strong Many people make silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions, and that is where they hurt others and themselves. If you have made a mistake and hurt others in the process, apologize immediately. 39
Avoid negative people.
40 If you are surrounded by happy and motivated people, you will always be happy. If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down then you will always feel miserable. In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a good and supporting company by your side.
A. Always question your thoughts.
B. Pay attention to emotional value.
C. It won’t bring your self-respect down.
D. You are known by the company you keep.
E. Emotions play a critical part in our lives.
F. Taking care of yourself should be prioritized over anything else.
G. Masking your feelings or trying to be emotionless will only harm you.

阅读下面的材料，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。
One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills. The class lasted for three hours. The usual cast(演员阵容) of comic actors played improv comedy games. And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks.
One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin Williams—an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay pletely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I calmed myself down.
I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!”
So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us. “We’re having an improv comedy class. We’re on break now, but we would be most honored if you would join us for the second half of the class.” Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.” It was like a grown-up child being asked to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class.
When he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, see who Micheline is bringing to class.” Jim’s eyes were all in astonishment and delight. “Why, it’s Robin Williams!” Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the class, Robin and Jim performed a skit (滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Sample 1:
All the folks who showed up in the class that Saturday afternoon were activated by the magical performance. Some of them even couldn’t help going to the platform to play with Robin Williams and Jim Cranna.
Our involvement and excitement made Mr. Williams overjoyed that he demonstrated us another skit physically and mentally to the fullest. It was Robin and Jim’s passion and devotion that convinced the folks of the unique fantasy of improv. Soon afterwards, all the present were stimulated and began to adjust postures naturally, improving skills of comics. Our coach Jim Cranna approached me, wearing a big smile on his face, “Thank you, Micheline! You’ve brought us astonishment and delight!”
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! It seemed that all the folks had stretched out their arms and legs to get definitely relieved, love and passion extended. How long it would be before they were absorbed in the state of happiness and relief, which, I think, was more than what any word could convey. All I know is that if I hadn’t mustered up the courage to ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience.
Sample 2:
All the folks who showed up in the class that Saturday afternoon were activated by the magical performance. They entered their roles so quickly that everyone under the podium (表演台) seemed to have entered the theater instantly. No matter what the involvement, the lines, and the body language are conveying, it’s hard to believe this is the fantastic power of an improv performance. “He’s truly a professional actor!” we marveled. It didn’t take us long to adapt to such an internationally famous actor and comic—Robin Williams. “Is this talent ” One of the folks murmured. I couldn’t help but admire and sigh.
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! After class, we expressed our sincere gratitude to Robin for joining us and said goodbye to him and his friend. I curiously asked him what made him choose to become a comedian. “Is this talent ” “Of course it’s love,” he replied, “just like what I saw in your eyes just now, and that’s why I joined you.” I couldn’t suppress (抑制) the excitement in my heart, and secretly made up my mind at the same time no matter whether I choose the same career as Robin in the future, I would maintain this love for performance and comedy, living up to his recognition.
Sample 3:
All the folks who showed up in the class that Saturday afternoon were activated by the magical performance. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as Robin Williams naturally integrated into the improv activities, adding his splendid wit (风趣) and humor to each skit. His presence alone lifted the energy in the room, inspiring everyone, from seasoned performers to novices (新手). Robin’s willingness to fully immerse himself were encouraging all of the folks to embrace the unpredictable nature of comedic expressions.
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! Robin’s genuine enthusiasm enriched the class and left a lasting impression on each of us. The opportunity to witness a comedy icon (偶像 崇拜对象) like Robin Williams participate in our gathering was a privilege beyond words. Long after the class ended, we carried the invaluable lessons learned from Robin’s second half of the class with natural ease and the joy of free creativity. It was an afternoon that none of us would ever forget, a demonstration to the pioneering power of shared laughter and the endless possibilities of the human imagination.

M: I’m not sure we’re allowed to make fires on the beach. ⑺Let’s check with the hotel staff to see if it’s OK.

M: Honey, did you see that the new restaurant down the block finally opened
W: I’m sorry, but I can’t chat right now. I need to start making dinner so it’ll be ready by the time the kids get home from school.
M: ⑻Leave dinner to me.
W: Really But you don’t cook. You aren’t planning to order takeout, are you We just bought groceries.
M: No. ⑻⑼I know I’m not a good chef, but I found a cooking website for beginners. I saw a great recipe for a pasta dish I think I can make.
W: Oh, that would be lovely!

M: Do you know anything about the first assignment
W: Yes, it’s already up on the notice board. There’s a choice of essays up there. I can’t remember any of the titles though apart from the one that I think I’m going to write about.
M: Does it mention how long the essays have to be
W: Yes. ⑽You remember last year all the essays had to be 3,000 words in length Well, that’s gone up by 1,000 words! I was hoping that they’d stay only go up to 3,500, but no luck.
M: Oh no! What about the deadline
W: ⑾The first one has to be in by the 30th October and the second by the 30th November.
M: As it’s the end of September now, that leaves only a month to get the first one done.
W: If you want to talk about it, ⑿I’m going to be at the campus cafeteria at 1:30 for lunch.
M: OK. See you then.
Text 9
M: Hello, Holly. You’re not working in the café this afternoon, then
W: Actually, I’ve given up the job. Yesterday was my last day.
M: ⒀ Really That’s a bit unexpected. The staff there always seem quite happy and relaxed. Were they bad employers
W: That wasn’t the problem. It was me. ⒁ I was just getting too far behind with my studies and I realized I would have to concentrate more on my college work.
M: Have you been worried about this for a long time
W: Well no. Last term I was able to keep up, and my scores were fine, but there’s so much more to do now —writing longer essays and having to start revising soon as well.
M: Sure, but I never thought of you finding it difficult, like I often do! ⒂All the way along, you’ve been at the top of our group and you always appear so confident in lectures and things.
W: Well, even though you may think that way, Dr Garrett certainly doesn’t. Although I tried to persuade him
everything would be OK, ⒃he made me go and see the head of department on Monday.
Text 10
W: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Morecambe Museum of Fashion. ⒇ Before we go up to the fashion exhibition “Clothes of the Future”, I would like to say a few words about the history of fashion. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was only the rich who could afford to follow fashion. Ladies’ clothes in those days were long and made of heavy material. However, the 1900s brought new ideas. ⒄The important person at this time was Coco Chanel, who many people think was the 20th century’s most important influence on fashion. Chanel produced jackets and short skirts which everyone admired. ⒅The idea of special clothes for playing sports also became popular in the early 1920s. Things like long shorts and tennis clothes started to become fashionable. ⒆In 1947, Christian Dior used all the new materials available to produce a fashion which was known as the “New Look”. He made skirt lengths longer again. Later, in the 1960s, “flower power” and student fashion were popular. In London, Mary Quant introduced short skirts. These were worn with boots that went up to the knee. And now we come to today’s exhibition. Some of the clothes you will see today will be very different from anything which you have seen before. ⒇The exhibition aims to take a look at the sort of clothes that we might wear in the next 50 years.

A river cruise is a travel experience like no other. From a cruise along the gentle waters of the Danube to a journey through picturesque French countryside, it is such a peaceful and scenic experience. Here’s what to expect as a first timer.
1. Scenic routes
Cruising is a cost-effective way of having a big adventure as you’ll visit several places during your trip. In fact, you can expect to visit a new destination every day on your river cruise. River cruises offer stunning views of the countryside, as they navigate through rivers and canals. You’ll often pass by picturesque towns and villages and enjoy beautiful full-view of riverside landscapes and charming towns.
2. Culture up close
A river cruise allows you to be immersed in your surroundings as you make your way along your route. Plus, you can enjoy guided excursions (短途旅行) to historical sites and local experiences at each destination.
3. Smooth sailing
Rivers are generally calmer than open seas, so you’re less likely to experience seasickness on a river cruise. It’s a smooth ride throughout, even as you pass through the river locks that feature on many European waterways. Travel with like-minded guests.
4. Onboard luxuries
While river cruise ships are smaller, they still offer facilities, such as lounges, fitness centers, and sometimes even pools or hot tubs. Onboard dining options vary, but you can expect a mix of region al and international cuisine. Dining is often open seating. There may be no formal nights, and casual clothes are usually acceptable.
21. What is the passage about

Still Miles to Go
My husband Tom came with a huge grin on his face. He held his arms wide and announced his retirement after working for the Postal Service for thirty-three years. But as time went by, I could tell that Tom had nothing to do at home. He began to pace like a lion, glancing out the windows.
“I think I’ll look for a part-time job,” Tom informed me one day. I felt instant relief. The lion would cease circling, and I could be in peace. We kept our eyes open for job opportunities. A few days later, when our car crept behind a school bus, I remarked “You could drive that bus.” He had driven us over the mountain s through rainstorms on winding roads. Behind the wheel, he seemed fearless. “Of course, I could drive that bus,” he answered back. “But could I drive it with forty-five children bouncing and yelling in the back ” We both laughed at the thought.
That bus became the bumblebee (大黄蜂) that buzzed around me. I pictured Tom happily going off to work again, climbing behind the wheel and setting off on his daily route. My enthusiasm must have attracted Tom because I overheard him on the phone with the transportation department. He was hired.
The very next morning, he was given a bus and a route sheet. Driving the bus turned out rewarding, and Tom is blooming in his new role. I think he likes being the “big guy” on the road.
He is now “Mr. Tom” to his riders and their parents. I hear he is quite amazing. When the pre-K children climb aboard, he fastens the safety belt for them. He greets the children with high-fives. Then he leads them in a quick and fun activity, where they get to shout after hours spent in their quiet classroom. “Goodbye, teachers!” yells Mr. Tom. The little ones repeat it. “Goodbye, school!” Again, they repeat, joyfully. Mr. Tom then yells out the last two lines, and the children laugh and repeat at the top of their lungs.
He has been driving the bus for seven years and has gotten lots of thank-notes from grateful parents. Sometimes, while a school bus passes me, it always warms my heart when the driver is the one I’m hoping to see and I catch the kiss he blows me.
24. Why did Tom decide to look for a part-time job after retirement
A. He was bored at home. B. He missed interacting with people.
C. He needed extra money. D. His wife wanted peace in the house.
25. What was Tom’s initial reaction when his wife suggested he drive a school bus
A. He thought it was a silly idea.
B. He was excited to accept the job.
C. He didn’t think he was qualified for the job.
D. He was unsure if he could handle the disorderly children.
26. What does the author appreciate most about Tom’s new job
A. It keeps him occupied. B. He can interact with children.
C. He overcomes his fear. D. He has found fulfillment in his work.
27. What qualities does Tom demonstrate as a bus driver
A. Patience, kindness and responsibility. B. Carefulness, discipline and authority.
C. Enthusiasm, leadership and courage. D. Sensitivity, flexibility and humor.
C
Norwegian author, playwright and poet Jon Fosse has been named the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy said on Thursday it was for his “innovative plays and prose which gives voice to the unsayable”.
This made him the first Nynorsk writer to receive the prize and the fourth Norwegian to win it, following Sigrid Undset, who won it in 1928. Previous winners of the prize--given for a body of works, rather than a single book-have included Toni Morrison, Doris Lessing, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Bob Dylan.
Born in 1959, Fosse grew up in western Norway, on a small farm in Strandebarm. He started writing poems and stories at age 12, and found writing to be a form of escape. Fosse enrolled at the University of Bergen and studied comparative literature during which time he began writing in Nynorsk, a minority language.
In 1983, Fosse published his first novel Red, Black, kicking off a remarkably prolific (高产的) career. He has published 40 plays, as well as novels, poetry, essays, children’s books and works of translation. Although he started as a poet and novelist, Fosse rose to fame as a playwright. He gained international recognition in the late 1990s with a Paris production of his first play Someone Is Going to Come, which was said to be written in four or five days without revision.
Fosse has long been tipped to receive the Nobel. In 2013, British bookmakers even temporarily suspended betting on the award after numerous bets on his winning, although the prize did not come his way for another decade. When it finally did, the call from the Nobel Prize’s organizers came while Fosse was traveling to Frekhaug, a village on Norway’s west coast. He admitted he was overwhelmed and somewhat frightened.
Nobel committee chairman Anders Olsson said, “What is special with him is the closeness in his writing. It touches on the deepest feelings that you have-anxieties, insecurities, questions of life and death -such things that every human being actually encounters from the very beginning. It doesn’t matter if it is drama, poetry or prose-it has the same kind of appeal to this basic humanness.”
28. What can we learn from the article
A. Fosse won the Nobel Prize for his abundant works.
B. Nynorsk is a widely used Norwegian language for literature.
C. With his career taking off for the first novel, Fosse became globally recognized.
D. It’s believed that Fosse had his first play polished in a couple of days.
29. What can be inferred from the incident in 2013
A. It proved that British bookmakers were against Fosse.
B. It demonstrated that Fosse was a failure for a long time.
C. It indicated that Fosse was in favor with the general public.
D. It revealed that Fosse didn’t receive the Nobel Prize until 2023.
30. What makes Fosse’s writing unique
A. Productivity in works.
B. Diverse types in writing.
C. The language style different from others.
D. Deep emotional connections with humans.
31. Where is this article probably taken from
A. A novel. B. A newspaper. C. A brochure. D. A guidebook.
D
Recent research has found that Martian soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, tested simulated(模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the essential nutrients needed for the crop to grow, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. They also found that the pH level of the soil was within the preferable range for growing rice and that the soil was able to support the growth of healthy rice plants.
However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been detected on Mars’ surface which can be toxic to plants.
The team of researchers conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They employed a wild rice variety and two genetically modified strains, which were designed to tolerate environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate. The study revealed that a concentration of 3 grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to 1 gram per kilogram, one of the genetically modified lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.
The discovery could be a game-change r for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions. In addition, studying the growth of plants on Mars could provide valuable insights into the potential for life on other planets and help scientists to better understand the conditions necessary for life to exist.
32. What does the underlined word “toxic” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Essential. B. Salty. C. Nutritious. D. Poisonous.
33. Which would NOT help rice plants grow under Martian soil conditions
A. Maintaining the ideal soil pH. B. Selecting a drought-resistant variety.
C. Increasing soil perchlorate levels. D. Lowering perchlorate concentration.
34. Why is the discovery that Martian soil contains rice nutrients significant
A. Because it reduces future mission costs.
B. Because it reveals the origins of the universe.
C. Because it focuses on mining on other planets.
D. Because it contradicts the idea that Mars has no life.
35. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Let’s Go to Mars for Fun! B. Martian Soil could Grow Rice!
C. Are You Interested in Planting Rice D. What are Martian Essential Nutrients

Have you ever wondered about the significance of emotions in our life 36 In order to grow and be better than before, you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Let’s explore some powerful strategies to help you become emotionally mature!
Try using “I” statements.
Whenever your feelings are disrupted or you get hurt, it is good to tell others how you really feel. 37 You need to tell others how you feel about the situation but do so in a non-aggressive way. The best way to do this is by using “I” statements instead of “You” statements. Here is an example: “I feel miserable and heartbroken”. You should use this statement instead of, “You make me feel miserable and heartbroken”.
38
In some situations, your loved ones could be hurting you through their words or their actions, and you could also be wrong. You must not let negative thoughts question your judgment. What happens in more than 70% of situations is that we let negative thoughts take hold of us, which is completely wrong. Whenever the other person is behaving in an upsetting manner, ask yourself if you have done anything to make them feel like that.
Take responsibility for your actions.
Just like your words, you need to take full responsibility for your actions. If you don’t own whatever you say or do, how can you become emotionally strong Many people make silly excuses and don’t take responsibility for their actions, and that is where they hurt others and themselves. If you have made a mistake and hurt others in the process, apologize immediately. 39
Avoid negative people.
40 If you are surrounded by happy and motivated people, you will always be happy. If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down then you will always feel miserable. In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a good and supporting company by your side.
A. Always question your thoughts.
B. Pay attention to emotional value.
C. It won’t bring your self-respect down.
D. You are known by the company you keep.
E. Emotions play a critical part in our lives.
F. Taking care of yourself should be prioritized over anything else.
G. Masking your feelings or trying to be emotionless will only harm you.

阅读下面的材料，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。
One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills. The class lasted for three hours. The usual cast(演员阵容) of comic actors played improv comedy games. And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks.
One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin Williams—an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay pletely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I calmed myself down.
I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!”
So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us. “We’re having an improv comedy class. We’re on break now, but we would be most honored if you would join us for the second half of the class.” Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.” It was like a grown-up child being asked to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class.
When he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, see who Micheline is bringing to class.” Jim’s eyes were all in astonishment and delight. “Why, it’s Robin Williams!” Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the class, Robin and Jim performed a skit (滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.

第二节
Sample 1:
All the folks who showed up in the class that Saturday afternoon were activated by the magical performance. Some of them even couldn’t help going to the platform to play with Robin Williams and Jim Cranna.
Our involvement and excitement made Mr. Williams overjoyed that he demonstrated us another skit physically and mentally to the fullest. It was Robin and Jim’s passion and devotion that convinced the folks of the unique fantasy of improv. Soon afterwards, all the present were stimulated and began to adjust postures naturally, improving skills of comics. Our coach Jim Cranna approached me, wearing a big smile on his face, “Thank you, Micheline! You’ve brought us astonishment and delight!”
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! It seemed that all the folks had stretched out their arms and legs to get definitely relieved, love and passion extended. How long it would be before they were absorbed in the state of happiness and relief, which, I think, was more than what any word could convey. All I know is that if I hadn’t mustered up the courage to ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience.
Sample 2:
All the folks who showed up in the class that Saturday afternoon were activated by the magical performance. They entered their roles so quickly that everyone under the podium (表演台) seemed to have entered the theater instantly. No matter what the involvement, the lines, and the body language are conveying, it’s hard to believe this is the fantastic power of an improv performance. “He’s truly a professional actor!” we marveled. It didn’t take us long to adapt to such an internationally famous actor and comic—Robin Williams. “Is this talent ” One of the folks murmured. I couldn’t help but admire and sigh.
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! After class, we expressed our sincere gratitude to Robin for joining us and said goodbye to him and his friend. I curiously asked him what made him choose to become a comedian. “Is this talent ” “Of course it’s love,” he replied, “just like what I saw in your eyes just now, and that’s why I joined you.” I couldn’t suppress (抑制) the excitement in my heart, and secretly made up my mind at the same time no matter whether I choose the same career as Robin in the future, I would maintain this love for performance and comedy, living up to his recognition.
Sample 3:
All the folks who showed up in the class that Saturday afternoon were activated by the magical performance. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as Robin Williams naturally integrated into the improv activities, adding his splendid wit (风趣) and humor to each skit. His presence alone lifted the energy in the room, inspiring everyone, from seasoned performers to novices (新手). Robin’s willingness to fully immerse himself were encouraging all of the folks to embrace the unpredictable nature of comedic expressions.
What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! Robin’s genuine enthusiasm enriched the class and left a lasting impression on each of us. The opportunity to witness a comedy icon (偶像 崇拜对象) like Robin Williams participate in our gathering was a privilege beyond words. Long after the class ended, we carried the invaluable lessons learned from Robin’s second half of the class with natural ease and the joy of free creativity. It was an afternoon that none of us would ever forget, a demonstration to the pioneering power of shared laughter and the endless possibilities of the human imagination.

W: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Morecambe Museum of Fashion. ⒇ Before we go up to the fashion exhibition “Clothes of the Future”, I would like to say a few words about the history of fashion. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was only the rich who could afford to follow fashion. Ladies’ clothes in those days were long and made of heavy material. However, the 1900s brought new ideas. ⒄The important person at this time was Coco Chanel, who many people think was the 20th century’s most important influence on fashion. Chanel produced jackets and short skirts which everyone admired. ⒅The idea of special clothes for playing sports also became popular in the early 1920s. Things like long shorts and tennis clothes started to become fashionable. ⒆In 1947, Christian Dior used all the new materials available to produce a fashion which was known as the “New Look”. He made skirt lengths longer again. Later, in the 1960s, “flower power” and student fashion were popular. In London, Mary Quant introduced short skirts. These were worn with boots that went up to the knee. And now we come to today’s exhibition. Some of the clothes you will see today will be very different from anything which you have seen before. ⒇The exhibition aims to take a look at the sort of clothes that we might wear in the next 50 years.

【主题语境】 人与社会
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文， 主要讲述了作者曾经受到祖母的教导， 认为成为一个“淑女” 是应该遵循的行为准则。 然而， 通过与一位陌生女性的对话， 作者开始质疑这种传统观念， 并坚信女性应该有发表意见、追求独立和坚持信仰的权利。 文章呼吁年轻女性勇于表达自己的观点和独立思考， 并不受他人的质疑和限制。
41. B【解析】 考查形容词作定语。 根据上下文， 这里描述的是作者的奶奶是作者所认识的最真实、 真诚的女性之一。
42. D【解析】 考查动词。 A. achieve 实现； B. aid 支援、 帮助； C. afford 承担得起； D. attempt 尝试、 试图。根据文章的语境， 这里表示作者希望成为奶奶的一半， 因此“attempt” （努力） 是最合适的选项。
43. C【解析】 考查副词。 A. fashionably 时尚地； B. casually 漫不经心地； D. luxuriously 奢华地。 根据文章内容， 这里表示作者对自己的穿着有适当的关注， 因此“appropriately” （得体地） 是最符合语境的选项。
44. D【解析】 考查形容词作宾语补足语。 A. closed 关闭的； B. tight 紧紧的； C. wide 开得很大的； D. open 打开的。 根据文章内容， 这里表示作者会为后面的人开门， 因此“open” （开放的） 是正确的选择。 wide 强调开门的大小， 指“把门开得大大的” ， 不符合这里的语境。
45. B【解析】 考查动词结构充当宾语补足语。 A. confirm 证实； B. question 质疑； C. clarify 澄清； D. position定位、 驻扎。 根据上下文， 这里表示作者开始质疑自己过去 21 年所接受的教育， 因此“question” （质疑）是最符合语境的选项。

47. A【解析】 考查名词。 A. mistake 错误； B. assumption 假设、 推断； C. decision 决定； D. adjustment 调整。句子提到现今女性经常错误地提出自己的意见和感受。 这里的“mistake” 是指女性在表达自己的意见和感受时经常被视为犯错误。 这种错误可能是因为社会对女性的期望和对待方式不同， 导致女性的观点被忽视或贬低。 因此， 选择 A. mistake（错误） 是最合适的答案。
48. C【解析】 考查动词。 A. divided 分成几份； B. exchanged 交换； C. parted 分散， 解散； D. classified 把……分类， 把……分级。 根据文章内容， 这里表示作者礼貌地与那个女人道别， 因此“parted” （分开） 是最符合语境的选项。
