I was driving when my phone alerted me to a new email. Filled with eager anticipation, I pulled over, turned on my hazard lights, and opened it. My emotions quickly changed as I learned, for the sixth and final time, that I had been denied a promotion to full professor. My institution didn't seem to value what I brought to the table. But when I told my family that night, my children offered a surprisingly positive response. They were excited to see what I was going to do next, they said. They apparently knew long before I did that losing my bid for a promotion would tum out to be the best thing that could have happened for me.
This had been the final step in a long process spanning 15 months and involving so much effort. I had started by studying successful promotion bids and asking senior scholars for frank discussions about my readiness. I had carefully prepared my application packet, summarizing everything I had achieved in my career. For more than a year, I had spent hours every day trying to prove my worth to my university.
To my surprise, having a final answer' brought a welcome sense of closure. As a first step toward healing, I decided to prioritize my own values and follow my own internal compass. I disconnected from people in my life who violated my values, cultivated my relationships with those who share my priorities and bring out the best in me, and spent more time with my family. I founded a nonprofit that helps first-generation and low-income students and young professionals advance in the workforce while serving their community. The initiative had long been a dream of mine, but I never pursued it because typical academic hiring and promotion don't reward such efforts. Now, such considerations were no longer my North Star.
Five months after that email from top leadership, I found myself in the car again, experiencing another career-defining moment. I may have lost my bid for a big promotion, but in the end, it brought me to the right place.
24. What did the author feel after he read the email
A. Anxious and annoyed B. Embarrassed and ashamed
C. Relieved and peaceful D. Disappointed and sorrowful
25. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. What contributions the writer had made
B. What preparations the writer had made
C. How successful the career had been
D. How tiring the process had been
26. Which of the following would the writer probably agree with
A. Success is more than a title or a rank
B. One's internal compass is to be developed
C. Serving the community may heal a broken heart.
D. One's real value first lies in his family interaction
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Emails: my North Star
B. Full professor: a double-edged sword
C. A career setback becomes a great opportunity
D. An academic career witnesses a failed promotion
C
Moon dust is the absolute worst. Not only does electrostatics (静电) cause it to stick to virtually everything, but it also has the consistency and feel of finely ground fiberglass. It was a genuine problem for the six Apollo crews who visited the moon' s surface-moon dust covered their suits worked their way into engines and electronics, and even ruined a few of their extremely expensive spacesuits
These are all serious issues to consider ahead of NASA'S planned return to the moon s surface in 2025, but a team of college undergraduates at Washington State University just developed a solution to moon dust-spraying liquid nitrogen (氮) onto moon dust. The team developed a new spray that takes advantage of the Leidenfrost effect. Named after its discoverer, an 18th-century German doctor Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost, it occurs when a liquid comes into close contact with a significantly hotter surface, causing it to quickly form a protective layer of vapor (蒸汽) that briefly keeps it from evaporating, such as when water forms into drops and runs across a very hot frying pan. The same principle works similarly in space. In this case, a liquid nitrogen spray (typically around -320℉) comes into contact with a surface's relatively warmer lunar dust coating, causing the particles to tum into things like drops and float away on the nitrogen vapors.
To test their spray, the research team first dressed a Barbie doll wrapped with a material used to make spacesuits. They then sprayed it with liquid nitrogen in a normal atmospheric condition as well as the circumstances similar to outer space. Not only did the liquid nitrogen spray perform better in the latter circumstances, but also it only resulted in minimal damage to the spacesuit material. In past lunar missions, astronauts' specialized brushes for the moon dust task often caused damage to spacesuits after a single use. In comparison, the liquid nitrogen spray took 75 uses before similar issues occurred.
Going forward, the team hopes to further research the complexity that makes the cleaning process
so effective, as well as secure funding to construct testing rooms more closely resembling the lunar surface's gravity. With any luck, maybe a can of their Moon-Dust-Gone will be aboard a future Artemis mission, ready to help astronauts avoid one of the lunar surface's annoying things.
28. Why does the author mention “Apollo” in the first paragraph
A. To prove moon dust is a real headache.
B. To compare past and present moon programs
C. To show the achievements in moon exploration.
D. To offer readers insights into the Apollo program.
29. What does the underlined word “particles” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Liquid waste. B. Moon dust. C. Nitrogen spray. D. Protective coating.
30. What did the research team find about their spray in Paragraph 3
A. It belonged to single-use items for astronauts.
B. It performed better in normal atmospheric conditions
C. It increased the strength of the material of spacesuits.
D. It protected spacesuits better compared with the brush.
31. What may the follow-up research of the spray focus on
A. Test subjects. B. Complex lunar surface.
C. Other applications. D. Reasons for efficient cleaning
D
Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is spread, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizen's patterns of response to polities. By giving citizens independent access to the candidates, television reduced the role of the political party in the selection of the major party candidates. By centering polities on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizen's focus on character rather than issues
Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1 to 2 hours, which was popular in the nineteenth-century, has given way to the 30-second advertisement and the 10 second “sound bite" in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience or speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a short video of the speech on the news.
In these simplified forms, much of what comprised the traditional political speech of earlier ages has been lost. In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot detail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. In short videos, politicians assert (断言) but do not argue.
Because television is an intimate (亲密的) medium, speaking through it requires a changed political style that is more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech. Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.
Recognizing the power of television's pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events designed
to attract media coverage. Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and answers to questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.
32. What do we know about " stump speech in paragraph 2
A. It's an event created by politicians to attract media attention.
B. It's an interactive discussion between two politicians.
C. It's a kind of political presentation typical of the nineteenth century.
D. It's a style of speech common to televised political events
33. It is suggested in paragraph 4 that _______.
A. politicians need to learn to become more personal
B. attractive politicians are favored by citizens
C. citizens tend to favor a politician who analyzed issues
D. citizens need to learn how to evaluate visual political images
34. What can we infer from the passage
A. Political presentations today are more like advertisements than in the past.
B. Politicians today tend to be more familiar with the views of citizens than in the past
C. Citizens today are less informed about a politician's character than in the past.
D. Political speeches today focus more on details about issues than in the past
35. What's the best title for the passage
A. Television: an Agent of Change in Politics
B. Television: a platform for Political Debate
C. Television: an Alternative to Stump Speech
D. Television: a New Medium for Communication

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 was awakened by the sound of heavy boots hitting the floor as my grandfather walked across the wooden floor to the fireplace. He added wood to the fire. Soon, the small wooden house felt warm.
It was 5: 30 on a cold January morning, deep in the mountains of central Pennsylvania.1,a 12-year-old boy, was here with my grandfather and four other men on an annual deer-hunting trip. My grandfather wanted me to take the adventure to increase my courage and fun.
Looking at me, he smiled, " Could you make some coffee To prove that I was qualified to join this male club, I got up and sated the work.
After breakfast, we left the warm and safe house and headed out into the dark, snowy morning, walking through deep snow. When we climbed over a mountain and crossed frozen streams, my grandfather told me to be mindful of where we had been and where we were headed. I tried to keep track of our route, but later had no idea.
About mid-afternoon, we made our way down the side of a new mountain to the stream bed below. My grandfather told me to head to the top of the next mountain, walk along the ridge (山脊) for a few hundred feet, and then come back down. If there were any deer on that part of the mountain, I would need to threaten them down to the bottom where my grandfather waited. So, off I went with a gun.
It took me 20 minutes to climb to the top. I walked along the ridge and then headed back down. I didn't realize I had crossed over the top and had started back down the other side of the mountain. I headed in the wrong direction. After walking for 45 minutes, I realized I was lost in the woods. I was shocked
After finally calming myself, I sat down and worked out a plan. I would first fire the gun and then start a fire, hoping my grandfather would know where I was by the sounds and smoke I looked at my watch. It was 4: 00. The sun would set down soon.
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。
I held my gun and immediately fired three shots. Finally, I found my grandfather and other men walking in my direction hurriedly.

Dear Lucas,
Burdened with the boldness to bother you, I am one of the participants of the English Composition Contest, who has some confusion for you to shed light on
Pouring my heart into the contest, I exerted myself to come up with a barely-satisfying draft. After days of dedication of revising, modifying and polishing, it was eventually transformed into a flawless masterpiece to me Nevertheless, the absence of my name in the scroll of winners shattered my eager anticipation. Swallowed by disappointment, self- doubt and depression, I do not have alternatives but to turn to you.
If you could spare my pain by unveiling some details of the contest or enlightening me with the feedback of my essay, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks for your kind attention.
Yours,
Li Hua

I held my gun and immediately fired three shots. The loud sounds quickly spread. Then, I cocked my ears Immediately, I heard three answering shots, and I was pretty sure which direction they had come from. But I didn't leave, thinking, Stay put. It's easier to find a lost person who is sitting still " I just stayed there, gathering dry leaves and branches nearby, and soon started a fire. Later, I added wet branches and leaves to it. It caused big smoke, which flew into the sky. I sat by the fire, looking around
Finally, I found my grandfather and other men walking in my direction hurriedly. Excited, I rushed to them Seeing me, my grandfather sighed with relief and hugged me tightly. Then, we headed back towards the house. On the way, my grandfather didn't blame me for being lost. Instead, he praised me for knowing how to handle such an emergency. Besides, he explained how to avoid being lost again. The next morning, I went hunting with my grandfather again. I wouldn't be scared away by the previous accident. I was determined to be brave and make progress in tracking my route and telling directions.
