第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A school Picture Day usually occurs either once in the fall, or twice a year during both the start of the fall and spring terms. A school Picture Day is you and your children's chance to record and keep memories for the school year. Missing a Picture Day means missing out on joy and special moments of the childhood—so it's important to plan ahead.
Hairstyle
Don't get a new haircut right before the Picture Day. If you're planning your children's haircut for the Picture Day, make sure it gets done at least two weeks before the Picture Day. This will ensure that any bad spots have time to grow back before the photos.
Try to stick to a neutral haircut. Recent trending hairstyles, colors and other unique hairstyles may not go well. You should find a hairstyle that is both neutral and something that represents your children's personality.
Keep the hair out of their face. If your children's hair naturally falls in front of their face, try to use hairpins, hair spray, or even a fresh haircut to keep their bright smile shining through.
Clothing
Dress for the weather. If it's cold outside, you should make sure your children arrive at school in clothing that keeps them warm. On the contrary, if the Picture Day is scheduled on a forecast heatwave, dressing your children in warmer clothing(even if it's your favorite one) could result in sweat showing up in the photos.
Don't make your children wear anything they don't like. They'll shine in clothing they're comfortable in, but will look obviously less comfortable in one they don't like. Help your children show their best side by letting them wear clothes they love.
Accessories(配饰)
Keep jewelry minimal. You never want children's jewelry to distract from their photos. If they do want to wear some sort of jewelry, make sure that it's small or understated.
Avoid hats. Hats do little help, other than covering up your children's head and face and should never be included.
21. Who is the text intended for
A. Parents. B. Students. C. Teachers. D. Photographers.
22. What is a requirement for children's hairstyle on the Picture Day
A. It should be newly cut. B. It should be colored in a recent trend.
C. It should cover the smile. D. It should show children's uniqueness.
23. In order to have better photos, children had better .
A. choose warm clothes B. avoid much jewelry
C. follow adults D. wear a small hat
B
On April 10, the University of Utah became officially Bee Campus certificated. This process was started by senior Zoē Bross in her second year on campus. Bee Campus USA hopes to protect the native pollinators(传粉者) on college campuses by increasing the number of native plants, providing nest sites, reducing the use of pesticides, and offering educational opportunities that help with pollinator conservation.
After first hearing her school wasn't certificated a Bee Campus and finding becoming Bee Campus certificated would give the University more point s on the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System(STARS) program, which decides ratings to campuses according to their sustainable efforts, Bross wanted to help.
There are many requirements to become Bee Campus certificated. The first major step for Bross was to create a standing Bee Campus committee with a mix of students and staff. Bross tried to reach out to professors and people specializing in this field. After many efforts, the program was finally passed through and a garden for it was created.
Over 100 people showed up to help plant in the garden. After the planting was done, Grounds, responsible for planting the pollinator gardens, set up their hydroseeder (水力播种机) and let attendees take turns spraying the hill, with a mixture of water and wildflower seeds, making the area more pollinator-friendly. Rocky, the school robot, even made an appearance, taking turns spraying.
Certificated by Bee Campus USA, Bee Campuses are expected to continue maintaining or improving pollinator habitats on campuses, as well as maintaining an educational online presence. “I see the campus continuing to be very interested,” Bross stated.
Future plans for the campus include more pollinator gardens, native wildflowers, and even bee sculptures to provide new habitats. As for Bross She pictures herself somewhere warm and sunny in the near future, working in environmental communications and doing something for the change she wants to see in the world.
24. What is the purpose of Bee Campus USA
A. To offer some advice on sustainable development.
B. To find educational opportunities to rate the college.
C. To protect native pollinators on college campuses.
D. To increase the number of college campuses.
25. What did Bross need to do first
A. Form a committee. B. Buy a hydroseeder.
C. Create a garden. D. Join a student organization.
26. Why did Rocky appear in the garden
A. To scare the pollinators away. B. To help spray the hill.
C. To plant wildflower seeds. D. To welcome people.
27. What can we know about Bross from the last paragraph
A. She is fond of drawing. B. She will look for some new habitats.
C. She owns pollinator gardens. D. She has an environment-related work plan.

Researchers have trained a robot “chef” to watch and learn from cooking videos, and recreate the dish itself.
Grzegorz Sochacki, a PhD in Bio-Inspired Robotics Laboratory, and his colleagues designed eight simple
salad recipes and filmed themselves making them. They then used a publicly available neural network(神经元网络) to train their robot chef. The neural network had already been programmed to identify a range of different objects, including the fruits and vegetables used in the eight salad recipes.
Using computer vision techniques, the robot analyzed each frame(画面) of videos and was able to identify the different objects and features, such as a knife and the ingredients(佐料), as well as the human demonstrator's arms, hands and face. Both the recipes and the videos were changed to vectors(模型) and the robot performed mathematical operations on the vectors to determine the similarity between a demonstration and a vector. By correctly identifying the ingredients and the actions of the human chef, the robot could determine which of the recipes was being prepared. The robot could infer that if the human chef was holding a knife in one hand and a carrot in the other, the carrot would then get cut up.
Of the 16 videos it watched, the robot recognized the correct recipes 93% of the time. The robot was also able to detect that slight changes in a recipe, such as making a double portion(份) or normal human errors, were changes and didn't mean a new recipe. The robot also correctly recognized the demonstration of a new, ninth salad, added it to its cookbook and made it.
“Our robot isn't interested in the sorts of food videos that are popular online, which quickly move back and forth between the person preparing the food and the dish they're preparing—they're simply too hard to follow,” said Sochacki. “But as these robot chefs get better and faster, they will be able to use those videos to learn a whole range of recipes.”
28. What did Sochacki and his colleagues do for the experiment
A. They posted a film featuring network online.
B. They made videos to train their robot chef.
C. They designed a neural network themselves.
D. They prepared 16 salad recipes for the robot.
29. What can be learned from paragraph 3
A. The learning process of the robot chef is very easy.
B. It is difficult to tell ingredients from human chefs' faces.
C. The robot chef can predict what will happen next accordingly.
D. Few mathematical operations are needed for the identification.
30. What is Sochacki's attitude towards the future of robot chefs
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
31. Which is a sui table title for the text
A. The Similarity Between a Demonstration and a Vector Is Proved
B. A Publicly Available Neural Network Makes Cooking Easier
C. Online Videos Help Robot Chefs Learn a Whole Range of Recipes
D. A Robot Chef Learns to Recreate Recipes from Watching Food Videos
D
More than 50 percent of the largest lakes in the world are losing water, storing less water than they did three decades ago, according to a new assessment published today in Science. The key causes are not surprising: The warming climate and unsustainable human consumption.
Lead author Fangfang Yao, a climate fellow at University of Virginia, and his team created a technique to measure changes in water levels of nearly 2,000 of the world's biggest lakes and reservoirs(水库), which represent 95 percent of the total lake water storage on Earth.
They used 250,000 lake-area pictures taken by satellites between 1992 and 2020 to survey the area of 1,972 of Earth's biggest lakes. They collected water levels from nine satellite altimeters(测高计)and used long-term water levels to reduce any uncertainty. For lakes without a long-term level record, they used recent water measurements made by newer instruments on bining recent level measurements with longer-term area measurements allowed scientists to reconstruct the volume of lakes dating back decades.
The result was staggering: 53 percent of lakes globally experienced a decline in water storage. The authors compare this loss with the size of 17 Lake Meads, the largest reservoir in the United States.
To explain the trends in natural lakes, the team used recent advancements in water use and climate modeling. “Climate change and human water consumption were mainly responsible for the global net decline in natural lake volume and water losses in about 100 large lakes,” Yao said. “And many of the human and climate change footprints on lake water losses were previously unknown, such as the dryness of Lake Good-e-Zareh in Afghanistan.”
And their research offers an understanding into possible solutions. Yao said, “If human consumption is a large cause of lake water storage decline, then we can adapt and explore new policies to reduce large-scale(大范围) declines.” This happened in one of the lakes the team studied, Lake Sevan in Armenia. Lake Sevan has seen an increase in water storage, in the last 20 years, which the authors linked to the enforcement(实施) of conservation laws on water withdrawal since the early 2000s.
32. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. Many largest lakes are in decline. B. Sustainable development is important.
C. Global warming is worsening quickly. D. The water storage system needs improving.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The reason for reducing the uncertainty. B. The process of looking for lakes.
C. The measures used to do the research. D. The ways to reconstruct the lakes.
34. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Understandable. B. Exciting. C. Useful. D. Shocking.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The increase in human consumption has slowed.
B. Some laws are needed to increase lake water storage.
C. Lakes have seen significant growth in water increase.
D. Water resources management is unknown to the public.

Everyone experiences stress in some form or another. However, there are actions you can take to reduce your stress level and introduce some peace back into your routine. 36
Get active.
Any physical activity, including simply taking a walk, is an effective stress reliever. Aerobic(有氧的)exercise releases endorphins that increase feelings of happiness and help you maintain a positive attitude. 37 If you aren't into traditional exercise, try any type of movement that feels good, from dancing around your bedroom to jumping on a trampoline.
38
Mindfulness(正念) is the stress-reducing practice of nonjudgmental awareness. There are many mindfulness exercises you can try, from meditation(冥想) to mindful physical activity such as yoga or tai chi. For example, in meditation, you focus your mind on something simple like your breath, practice gently letting go of each negative thought, and then return your focus to your breath. Try some simple meditation guides if you're new to the practice.
Prioritize sleep.
When you're stressed, you may find yourself sleeping less or tossing and turning during the night. 39 On the contrary, a good night's sleep allows your body and mind to rest, giving you a fresh start and energy to handle all you need to do.
Seek professional support.
40 That's because you may become more at a loss when you are stressed. A licensed consultant can help you identify and find solutions to your stress and teach you new coping skills.
A. Try meditation.
B. Practice mindfulness.
C. You don't have to deal with stress on your own.
D. Keep your focus on deep, slow breathing exercises.
E. Here are some suggestions on how to reduce stress.

My Volunteering Experience
第二节 (满分 25 分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had spent the long winter months waking up each morning with the sun and birds. Each day began like the previous one: sneakers (运动鞋), headphones and stretching. The fresh air filled my lungs as I ran out the front door, greeted by the empty streets and sidewalks. The world became my own training ground. As I ran, I found peace in the rising sun. This boring time quickly became my favorite time of the day.
I was born into a “running family”. I lost count of how many marathons my dad had participated in, and I was pretty sure my mom traveled on foot more than she did by vehicle. My brother, Mike, followed in their footsteps by running when he could, and competed in at least 4 races throughout the year. Unlike him, I didn't naturally fall into the running life.
“Running is the best thing for you. I don't know how people can dislike it,” my dad questioned during many dinner conversations in grade school.
“You would be a fool not to join the track team, Colleen,” my mom suggested in her serious voice.
“Of course I will,” I replied while rolling my eyes. “What could be funner than running ”
After hundreds of practices and a handful of track meets later, I found myself agreeing with my parents and laughing at the idea that I once disagreed with them. The time had come when my dad finally asked the big question, which I had been nervous about for a while.
“So, the marathon is in November. What are we thinking ”
I felt my heart sink and speed up at the same time. Oh no, was I ready for this The words suddenly came out before I could even fully process the question.
“Yeah, let's do it!”
I couldn't let him down. He had been waiting years for this experience. Finally, we spent hours training and bonding together until the big day came.
