A mother of nine who started medical school when her youngest child was 4 years old graduated with her degree and planed to be a neurosurgeon (神经外科医生).
Sarah Merrill, now 41, said her journey to medical school began at 17. She then met her husband and got married. Merrill first thought about going to school part-time to get a degree, but later she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill owed it to her family largely. “When I was accepted by Mayo Clinic Ali x School of Medicine, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona,” said Merrill, who is moving to Indiana with her family to begin her residency (实习期) in neurosurgery. “In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.”
Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study for their own courses. Merrill’s choice has given a kind of stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.
Merrill’s next step into a neurosurgery residency will take her into a male-dominated field where only 5% of board-certified neurosurgeons are women. Dr. Michele Halyard at Mayo Clinic Ali x School of Medicine said Merrill was known as a focused student. Halyard said, “If you can deal with nine children patiently, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”
Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly career, but, again, she chose to follow her original dream. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal which you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your interest is, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”
24. Why does Merrill mention their house moving
A. To stress the support of her family. B. To show her determination to be a doctor.
C. To reflect difficulties in attending college. D. To describe the process of pursuing her dream.
25. What does the underlined word“stimulus”mean in Paragraph 3
A. Comfort. B. Development. C. Choice. D. Inspiration.
26. What do Halyard’s words in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Merrill can make it in the residency. B. Merrill will have more stress to handle.
C. Being mom ensures Merrill a better doctor. D. Staying focused and sensible is key to success.
27. What does Merrill mainly suggest in the last paragraph
A. Starting with small things. B. Being true to your passion.
C. Choosing a family-friendly career. D. Having the courage to dream big.

Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is an important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years, traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the young.
In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China’s traditional Peking, also known as jingju, Opera is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way, as the classic art faces an aging audience.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music, vocal performance, mime (哑剧表演), dance and acrobatics (杂技).
Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2,000 audience members, mostly young people, according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times, so does jingju,” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer of The Drunken Beauty, one of the classic jingju plays performed in the theater. “I feel today’s performance is very special,” Zhang added. She was born into a family of jingju performers and has had 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju,” another young performer Deng said.
According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art,” she added.
28. Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important
A. To run after fashion. B. To attract the young audience.
C. To improve digital stage effect. D. To change the traditional opera circle.
29. Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater
A. A destroyer of Peking Opera. B. An objector of modern opera.
C. A pioneer of innovative opera. D. A defender of traditional opera.
30. How does Deng feel about the innovation of jingju
A. Favourable. B. Unreliable. C. Worthless. D. Conservative.
31. Which one can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Traditional Opera Is Dying Out
B. The Future of the Traditional Opera Is Promising
C. The Performers of the Traditional Opera Are Supporting Jingju
D. Traditional Opera Circle Is Innovating to Attract Young Audience

Eating too much fat contributes to the risk of stroke (中风) and other heart diseases. However, it’s the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke. Eating plant-based fats lowers stroke risk, according to a study presentation given at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021.
The study, which hasn’t yet been proved by other researchers, found people who ate the most vegetable-based fats were 12% less likely to experience a stroke compared to those who ate the least. On the other hand, people who ate the highest levels of animal-based saturated (饱和的) fats were 16% more likely to experience a stroke than those who ate the least fats of that kind. The findings show the type and different food sources of fat are more important than the total amount of fat in preventing certain diseases, including stroke.
“You need fa t to survive. Fat helps your body absorb vitamins from foods, build cells, give you energy and keep you warm. But it’s the unsaturated fats that come from vegetables, nuts and fatty fish that can lower your cholesterol (胆固醇) level and help keep you healthy. Saturated fats are generally not as healthy, which mainly come from red and processed meat,” said Dr. Frank Hu, one of the authors of the study.
A proper reduction in red and processed meat consumption with a healthy eating pattern can reduce total deathrate by 13%, heart disease death by 14%, cancer death by 11% and Type 2 Diabetes risk by 24%, according to the study.
Interestingly, dairy fat was not associated with a higher risk of stroke, the study found. There has been an ongoing debate among researchers as to the role of dairy. The diet guide-lines for Americans call for three servings of low-and no-fat dairy each day.
32. How does Paragraph 2 mainly develop
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing causes and effects.
C. By providing examples. D. By following the order of time.
33. Which kind of food doesn’t have unsaturated fats according to Paragraph 3
A. Corn. B. Beans. C. Nuts. D. Beef.
34. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The type of fat matters when it comes to stroke. B. People should eat less red meat to keep healthy.
C. Fat plays an important role in people’s life. D. Americans need three servings of dairy per day.
35. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from
A. Environment. B. Technology. C. Health. D. Travel.

Why do we feel sleepy in rainy days
This spring on the east coast of the US, it feels like we’ve lost touch with the sun. In Washington, DC, 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. 36 It means that for me, May has been one of the months I’ve felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a sleep.
First, there’s what we see-or rather, what we don’t. 37 When it’s raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body’s internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central Queensland University said, when you don’t see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode.
The earth y smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable. 38 And when it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a “musky” smell. Additionally, after a thunderstorm there’s a chance you may smell ozone (臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets.
39 . The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called “pink noise”. Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some re-search, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. 40
The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earth y scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of this evidence is enough to justify doing so; but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days.
A. Rain sounds are also comforting.
B. Plants produce oils during dry periods.
C. The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day.
D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before.
E. You can listen to an hour of rain on a window, if you intend to test it out.
F. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night.
G. And you’ll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil.

Trust
“Settle down!” Mr. Taylor was trying to calm the boys with a loud voice. The moment they entered the gym and saw the climbing walls towering over them, the boys got excited and started making noises. But Stevie was an exception, who was standing aside looking at his thin arms silently. Stevie didn’t like climbing. It wasn’t his thing. Getting along with people wasn’t his thing, either. He just felt nobody liked or trusted him at school.
Then came the coach, who taught the boys some basic skills. He said everyone should have a climbing partner and showed them how to protect their partner. “If you are a climber, trust your belayer (保护者) and challenge yourself. Belayers, please remember that your partner’s life depends on you.”
The boys couldn’t wait to match themselves with a partner except Stevie, who was left alone. Noticing his embarrassment, Mr. Taylor raised his voice and said, “I need someone I can really trust to team up with!” He looked around and said, “How about you, Stevie Would you like to be my belayer ” “Me ” Stevie widened his eyes, surprised to hear Mr. Taylor say his name. He had thought he was invisible. “I guess,” Stevie managed a weak smile.
Nervous as he was, he plucked up courage. “It doesn’t matter who gets to the top first. It’s about giving it a go.” Hearing Mr. Taylor’s words, Stevie gritted (咬紧牙关) his teeth and moved up slowly. “Done it!” Stevie finally called from the top with excitement. Then Mr. Taylor started to let him down through a perfect control of the rope. “Well done,” said Mr. Taylor when Stevie landed on the floor.
Now it’s Stevie’s turn to control the rope. Bearing in mind his responsibility, Stevie carefully watched as Mr. Taylor climbed up, pulling the rope hand over hand. He felt his heart racing wildly. Finally, Mr. Taylor arrived at the top. “Ready to let me down now ” said Mr. Taylor. “Okay,” Stevie took a deep breath, his palms sweating uncontrollably.
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。
As Stevie loosened the grip (控制), the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected. _____________

参考答案
1~5 BABBA 6~10 ACCBA 11~15 CCBBA 16~20 CBACA
21. B 细节理解题。根据“Nungwi Beach”中“This beach is located in the north of the island and is famous for its amazing sunsets and lively atmosphere.”可知,在 Nungwi Beach可以观赏美妙的日落景象。
22. B 细节理解题。根据“Paje Beach”中“On top of that, you can practice water sports such as kitesurfing, be-cause this beach is known as one of the best in the world for this activity.”可知,在Paje Beach 可以体验风筝冲浪。
23. C 细节理解题。根据“Matemwe Beach”中“During low tide, the water goes down 2 kilometers, and the lo-cals take advantage of it to collect sea animals.”可知,退潮时在 Matemwe Beach可以捡到海洋动物,因此可能吸引海洋动物的收集者。
24. A 推理判断题。根据第二段“Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill owed it to her family largely. ... I know it was tough for all of us.’”可知, Merrill认为她能成功回到校园主要归功于她的家人，为了方便她学习，Merrill 一家从宾夕法尼亚州搬到亚利桑那州，现在为了她的工作又要搬到印第安纳州，并且这些举动是她的家人主动提出的。由此可推断，Merrill 提到他们的搬家是为了强调家人的支持。
25. D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.”可知, Merrill 11岁的女儿想成为一名外科医生,她的儿子告诉朋友们他的妈妈会成为一名很酷的脑外科医生，由此可推断，Merrill 决定成为一名神经外科医生的选择激励了孩子们。stimulus意为“激励”, inspiration“鼓舞人心的人(或事物)”与画线词含义相近。
26. A 推理判断题。 根据第四段“If you can deal with nine children patiently, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”可知, Halyard 认为如果你能应对九个孩子并保持理智，那么神经外科医生的实习期应该是小菜一碟，因为即使再多的压力也不会让你失败。由此可推断，Hal-yard 的话意思是 Merrill 可以成功通过住院医生实习期。
27. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly career, but, again, she chose to follow... Then you’ll get where you want to go.’”可知, Merrill建议忠于真正热爱的梦想。
28. B 细节理解题。 根据文章第一段“Adaptation and innovation of traditional opera is the important trend in Chinese……traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works.”可知,对传统戏曲进行创新和改编主要是为了吸引年轻人也来观看，所以B项符合题意。
29. C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段和第四段“The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. ... than 2,000 audience members, mostly young people, according to theater staff.”可知，天乐园剧院率先进行了改革，所以它是创新戏剧的先驱，所以C 项符合题意。
30. A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience.”可知,他认为创新或许是京剧应对受众老龄化问题的最佳方式，并且可以帮助传统艺术走得更远。 由此可知，他认为对京剧进行创新是有帮助的。
31. D 主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲的是传统戏剧用创新和改编的办法，顺应时代潮流，吸引年轻观众。所以 D项“传统歌剧圈正在创新，以吸引年轻观众”适合作为文章的标题。
32. A 推理判断题。 根据第二段“The study, which hasn’t yet been proved by other researchers, found people who ate... than those who at e the least fats of that kind.”可知,第二段通过作比较来展开。
33. D 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘But it’s the unsaturated fats that come from vegetables, nuts and fatty fish that can lower your cholesterol level and help keep you healthy. ‘”可知,植物、坚果和富含脂肪的鱼类中有不饱和脂肪，牛肉不属于这一范围，所以 D项符合题意。
34. A 主旨大意题。 根据第一段“Eating too much fat contributes to the risk of stroke and other heart diseases. However, it’s the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke.”及全文内容可知，本文主要说明了摄入脂肪的种类对罹患中风的概度高低有影响。
35. C 推理判断题。 根据第一段“However, it’s the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more im-port ant when it comes to stroke.”可知,本文为健康类科普文,因此本文选自报纸的健康版块。
36. C 空前说在华盛顿特区，5月的前 17 天中有14 天下雨，此处承接上文，讲的是另外几天的天气情况，故C 项(其他几天一天中至少有一段时间多云)符合语境。
37. F 空后说下雨和多云时，我们会错过体内的闹钟，因此此处会提到晴天(阳光)对我们身体的影响，故 F 项(阳光会让我们的身体停止产生让我们晚上犯困的东西)符合语境。
38. B 空后说下雨时，雨水会把植物产生的油带出来，油和一种化学物质混合，散发生一种“麝香味”，因此此处说的油是如何产生的，故B项(在干气干燥时，植物会产生油)符合语境。
39. A 空后说下雨产生的背景声音会让我们的大脑减少活动，从而改善睡眠质量，故A项(雨的声音也让人感到舒适)符合语境。
40. E 空前说根据一些研究，雨点的滴答声可以通过减少大脑活动来改善我们的睡眠质量，此处承接上文，讲的是你可以通过听雨来检验这一点，故E 项(如果你想测试一下，你可以在窗前听一小时的雨声)符合语境。

46. B 由上文的“Unable to listen”和“Rebecca felt lonely”可知,失聪的丽贝卡失去了幸福,感到孤独(即没有归属感),然而在 Qetan Sewing Center,丽贝卡重新发现了她非常怀念的东西:归属感。
47. A 由上文的“a sense of belonging”和下文的“which helps you move forward”可知,丽贝卡在 Qetan Sewing Center 找到了归属感、获得了帮助，说明该地方对她产生了积极的影响。

One possible version:
Last Friday witnessed an extraordinary activity organized by our school, whose theme was “Technology makes life better”.
In the morning, we set off for a technology company. An engineer welcomed us and gave a lecture on 3D printing, introducing its history, development and application in various fields. After that, he showed us how the 3D printer works. We were amazed and couldn’t wait to give it a try. We designed a 3D model of a bike and then operated the printer under instruction. Watching the bike gradually taking shape, we felt more than excited.
I was impressed with the convenience and benefits brought by technology in this educative and eye-opening activity.
One possible version:
As Stevie loosened the grip (控制), the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected. Suddenly, Mr. Taylor dropped like a stone. Stevie let out a scream. The picture of Mr. Taylor hitting the ground flashed through his mind. He quickly gripped the rope, bringing Mr. Taylor to a sudden stop. Regretful and cautious, Stevie looked up and saw Mr. Taylor’s smile, which made him less nervous. Then he restarted loosening the grip slowly. Finally, Mr. Taylor dropped smoothly down to the bottom and signaled to Stevie with a thumb up. “You made it!”
Suddenly, the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them. When Mr. Taylor stepped forward and gave Stevi e a big hug, a ripple of excitement and pride ra n through him. From that day on, Stevie opened his heart to the people around him. He made new friends at school. He even fell in love with climbing where he was regarded as a trustworthy teammate. Grateful to Mr. Taylor, he knew deep down in his heart that it was his teacher’s trust that allowed him to embrace his new self and others.

A mother of nine who started medical school when her youngest child was 4 years old graduated with her degree and planed to be a neurosurgeon (神经外科医生).
Sarah Merrill, now 41, said her journey to medical school began at 17. She then met her husband and got married. Merrill first thought about going to school part-time to get a degree, but later she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill owed it to her family largely. “When I was accepted by Mayo Clinic Ali x School of Medicine, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona,” said Merrill, who is moving to Indiana with her family to begin her residency (实习期) in neurosurgery. “In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.”
Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study for their own courses. Merrill’s choice has given a kind of stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.
Merrill’s next step into a neurosurgery residency will take her into a male-dominated field where only 5% of board-certified neurosurgeons are women. Dr. Michele Halyard at Mayo Clinic Ali x School of Medicine said Merrill was known as a focused student. Halyard said, “If you can deal with nine children patiently, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”
Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly career, but, again, she chose to follow her original dream. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal which you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your interest is, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”
24. Why does Merrill mention their house moving
A. To stress the support of her family. B. To show her determination to be a doctor.
C. To reflect difficulties in attending college. D. To describe the process of pursuing her dream.
25. What does the underlined word“stimulus”mean in Paragraph 3
A. Comfort. B. Development. C. Choice. D. Inspiration.
26. What do Halyard’s words in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Merrill can make it in the residency. B. Merrill will have more stress to handle.
C. Being mom ensures Merrill a better doctor. D. Staying focused and sensible is key to success.
27. What does Merrill mainly suggest in the last paragraph
A. Starting with small things. B. Being true to your passion.
C. Choosing a family-friendly career. D. Having the courage to dream big.

Adaptation and innovation (创新) of traditional opera is an important trend in Chinese opera circle in recent years. In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years, traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the young.
In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China’s traditional Peking, also known as jingju, Opera is appealing to young people in a fashionable and innovative way, as the classic art faces an aging audience.
The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera. The opera combines instrumental music, vocal performance, mime (哑剧表演), dance and acrobatics (杂技).
Tianleyuan has a jingju art experience section and fashionable performances. It has attracted more than 2,000 audience members, mostly young people, according to theater staff.
“Good art should keep pace with the times, so does jingju,” said Zhang Zishang, a 22-year-old performer of The Drunken Beauty, one of the classic jingju plays performed in the theater. “I feel today’s performance is very special,” Zhang added. She was born into a family of jingju performers and has had 10 years of stage experience. “Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of jingju,” another young performer Deng said.
According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for jingju to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine jingju with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. “Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the ‘new’ art,” she added.
28. Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important
A. To run after fashion. B. To attract the young audience.
C. To improve digital stage effect. D. To change the traditional opera circle.
29. Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater
A. A destroyer of Peking Opera. B. An objector of modern opera.
C. A pioneer of innovative opera. D. A defender of traditional opera.
30. How does Deng feel about the innovation of jingju
A. Favourable. B. Unreliable. C. Worthless. D. Conservative.
31. Which one can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Traditional Opera Is Dying Out
B. The Future of the Traditional Opera Is Promising
C. The Performers of the Traditional Opera Are Supporting Jingju
D. Traditional Opera Circle Is Innovating to Attract Young Audience
D
Eating too much fat contributes to the risk of stroke (中风) and other heart diseases. However, it’s the type of fat, not the amount, that appears to be more important when it comes to stroke. Eating plant-based fats lowers stroke risk, according to a study presentation given at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2021.
The study, which hasn’t yet been proved by other researchers, found people who ate the most vegetable-based fats were 12% less likely to experience a stroke compared to those who ate the least. On the other hand, people who ate the highest levels of animal-based saturated (饱和的) fats were 16% more likely to experience a stroke than those who ate the least fats of that kind. The findings show the type and different food sources of fat are more important than the total amount of fat in preventing certain diseases, including stroke.
“You need fa t to survive. Fat helps your body absorb vitamins from foods, build cells, give you energy and keep you warm. But it’s the unsaturated fats that come from vegetables, nuts and fatty fish that can lower your cholesterol (胆固醇) level and help keep you healthy. Saturated fats are generally not as healthy, which mainly come from red and processed meat,” said Dr. Frank Hu, one of the authors of the study.
A proper reduction in red and processed meat consumption with a healthy eating pattern can reduce total deathrate by 13%, heart disease death by 14%, cancer death by 11% and Type 2 Diabetes risk by 24%, according to the study.
Interestingly, dairy fat was not associated with a higher risk of stroke, the study found. There has been an ongoing debate among researchers as to the role of dairy. The diet guide-lines for Americans call for three servings of low-and no-fat dairy each day.
32. How does Paragraph 2 mainly develop
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing causes and effects.
C. By providing examples. D. By following the order of time.
33. Which kind of food doesn’t have unsaturated fats according to Paragraph 3
A. Corn. B. Beans. C. Nuts. D. Beef.
34. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The type of fat matters when it comes to stroke. B. People should eat less red meat to keep healthy.
C. Fat plays an important role in people’s life. D. Americans need three servings of dairy per day.
35. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from
A. Environment. B. Technology. C. Health. D. Travel.

Why do we feel sleepy in rainy days
This spring on the east coast of the US, it feels like we’ve lost touch with the sun. In Washington, DC, 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. 36 It means that for me, May has been one of the months I’ve felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a sleep.
First, there’s what we see-or rather, what we don’t. 37 When it’s raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body’s internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central Queensland University said, when you don’t see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode.
The earth y smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable. 38 And when it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a “musky” smell. Additionally, after a thunderstorm there’s a chance you may smell ozone (臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets.
39 . The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called “pink noise”. Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some re-search, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. 40
The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earth y scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of this evidence is enough to justify doing so; but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days.
A. Rain sounds are also comforting.
B. Plants produce oils during dry periods.
C. The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day.
D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before.
E. You can listen to an hour of rain on a window, if you intend to test it out.
F. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night.
G. And you’ll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil.

Trust
“Settle down!” Mr. Taylor was trying to calm the boys with a loud voice. The moment they entered the gym and saw the climbing walls towering over them, the boys got excited and started making noises. But Stevie was an exception, who was standing aside looking at his thin arms silently. Stevie didn’t like climbing. It wasn’t his thing. Getting along with people wasn’t his thing, either. He just felt nobody liked or trusted him at school.
Then came the coach, who taught the boys some basic skills. He said everyone should have a climbing partner and showed them how to protect their partner. “If you are a climber, trust your belayer (保护者) and challenge yourself. Belayers, please remember that your partner’s life depends on you.”
The boys couldn’t wait to match themselves with a partner except Stevie, who was left alone. Noticing his embarrassment, Mr. Taylor raised his voice and said, “I need someone I can really trust to team up with!” He looked around and said, “How about you, Stevie Would you like to be my belayer ” “Me ” Stevie widened his eyes, surprised to hear Mr. Taylor say his name. He had thought he was invisible. “I guess,” Stevie managed a weak smile.
Nervous as he was, he plucked up courage. “It doesn’t matter who gets to the top first. It’s about giving it a go.” Hearing Mr. Taylor’s words, Stevie gritted (咬紧牙关) his teeth and moved up slowly. “Done it!” Stevie finally called from the top with excitement. Then Mr. Taylor started to let him down through a perfect control of the rope. “Well done,” said Mr. Taylor when Stevie landed on the floor.

Last Friday witnessed an extraordinary activity organized by our school, whose theme was “Technology makes life better”.
In the morning, we set off for a technology company. An engineer welcomed us and gave a lecture on 3D printing, introducing its history, development and application in various fields. After that, he showed us how the 3D printer works. We were amazed and couldn’t wait to give it a try. We designed a 3D model of a bike and then operated the printer under instruction. Watching the bike gradually taking shape, we felt more than excited.
I was impressed with the convenience and benefits brought by technology in this educative and eye-opening activity.
One possible version:
As Stevie loosened the grip (控制), the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected. Suddenly, Mr. Taylor dropped like a stone. Stevie let out a scream. The picture of Mr. Taylor hitting the ground flashed through his mind. He quickly gripped the rope, bringing Mr. Taylor to a sudden stop. Regretful and cautious, Stevie looked up and saw Mr. Taylor’s smile, which made him less nervous. Then he restarted loosening the grip slowly. Finally, Mr. Taylor dropped smoothly down to the bottom and signaled to Stevie with a thumb up. “You made it!”
Suddenly, the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them. When Mr. Taylor stepped forward and gave Stevi e a big hug, a ripple of excitement and pride ra n through him. From that day on, Stevie opened his heart to the people around him. He made new friends at school. He even fell in love with climbing where he was regarded as a trustworthy teammate. Grateful to Mr. Taylor, he knew deep down in his heart that it was his teacher’s trust that allowed him to embrace his new self and others.
