Recently,as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team,I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him.His team was facing adversity(逆境) on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment —it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters,and Nathan's team was trailing(落后) for three quarters of the game.As for me,I had been fired from my job earlier in the day.
During my drive to where the game was held,I kept telling myself "I will find work again in a short time"—I am confident in my experience and abilities.This was the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing.I saw the determination on his,as well as his teammates' faces as they fought back to not only tie the game,but then go ahead by three points.Then,a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again.With a tie game(平局) and seconds on the clock,Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence,he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him.The other player was called for a foul(犯规).
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points,I saw the focus and determination on his face,there was no room for self-doubt.Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill,it was as if he had done it a thousand times.
As I sat there,my heart bursting with pride,it dawned on me that I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity,and he had just taught me the same lesson.That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.He will play in the finals,but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses,at this moment,we both won.

T.O.Fuller State Park in Memphis,Tennessee,has been loved for generations and has always been a ground where community has come first.Back in 1938,it was the first park east of the Mississippi river to open for African American visitors.Over 80 years later,the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition,this time,through a pioneering sustainability project.
A new walking and biking trail has been built through this historic park.Illegally dumped (被丢弃的) tires are not only unpleasant to see,but they're a dangerous addition to the environment.Rubber,like plastic,is a material that won't naturally break down.In a place as hot as Tennessee,these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air.Fortunately,the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol,TN,the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way.There,the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble(碎屑) rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail.
TN State Parks explained how the trail's construction,which has been in development since 2019,was a joint effort.Officials from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation,the Tennessee Department of Transportation,the City of Memphis,Shelby County,and Memphis City Beautiful were all involved in funding this recycling project.
These officials named their initiative the "Tires to Trails" project.Workers from these departments,alongside some 450 volunteers,came together to collect over 24,000 tires that had been illegally dumped in the area around the park to be recycled.
"This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle,collecting dumped material,then converting it into positive use," David,a leader of the project,said in a statement.
8.What kind of park is T.O.Fuller State Park? ______
A. It is a popular park with a good tradition.
B. It is the first park welcoming all visitors.
C. It is a park west of the Mississippi river.
D. It is a modern park without biking trails.
9.Why are dumped tires a dangerous addition to the environment? ______
A. They are ugly to see.
B. They release harmful gasses.
C. They are made up of plastic.
D. They could only be used to pave the new trail.
10.What does David mean in the last paragraph? ______
A. It is the park's responsibility to recycle.
B. The park is built on dumped materials.
C. The park successfully recycled dumped tires.
D. It is possible to turn everything into useful things.
11.Which of the following best presents the main idea of the passage? ______
A. A state park is making pioneering efforts to achieve sustainability.
B. A state park is to rebuild a trail in an innovative way.
C. Tires have been transformed into a new trail in a state park.
D. Officials and people worked together to recycle tires in a state park.
D
"Please,no flash photography."
Polite requests like this can be found in museums all over the world,but they generally fail to persuade people out of taking photos of whatever they feel like.The same goes for concerts,movie theaters and other places where people routinely ignore filming restrictions.A new patent from Apple may help discourage that rebellious behavior-on phones at least.
The patent,awarded to Apple today,outlines a system which would allow venues to use an infrared emitter(红外线发射器) to remotely disable the camera function on smartphones.According to the patent,infrared rays could be picked up by the camera,and interpreted by the smartphone as a command to block the user from taking any photos or videos of whatever they're seeing.
Many musicians and performers have banned cellphones from their shows,either because they want their audiences to actually pay attention to them,or because they don't want the free footage(片段镜头) going viral around the web.Despite this,unauthorized (未授权的) images still manage to make their way into the public eye.The last concert of American singer Prince before he passed away was supposed to be cellphone-free —it apparently wasn't.If Apple's patent is introduced into iPhone software,and venues put infrared emitters around their stage, leaks like this could potentially stop happening.
But the patent also raises questions about the sort of power that this technology would be handing over to people with more immoral intentions.
Right now,there's no guarantee that Apple intends to put this technology into any of its software —Apple doesn't act on many of the thousands of patents it files each year —and the company wasn't immediately available to comment on its plans for the patent.
Given the company's rigid support of personal privacy when it comes to police requests to break into users' devices,it's possible that Apple just patented the technology so that no one else will use it.But who knows,if it does intend to introduce this feature to future operating systems,sales of alternative shooting devices like camcorders,or even GoPros,could get a much-needed boost,as people try to avoid having to use the prohibitive software.
12.How can Apple's patented system prevent smartphone users from taking photos or videos at specific venues? ______
A. By giving out a sound wave that disables smartphone cameras.
B. By picking up infrared rays emitted by the cameras when they are filming.
C. By using infrared rays that can remotely block camera usage on smartphones.
D. By automatically deleting photos or videos if they are taken without permission.
13.Which of the following is one of the reasons why cellphones are banned from many shows? ______
A. To make the performers more focused on the show.
B. To avoid the unauthorized footage being freely shared and spread online.
C. To prevent the performers' images from coming to widespread public attention.
D. To protect the audience from people with immoral intentions.
14.What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean? ______
A. Unintended damage. B. Unauthorized release.
C. Unexpected death. D. Undesired freedom.
15.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? ______
A. Apple has planned to apply this patent to future operating systems.
B. All the patents Apple files each year are meant to be put into its software.
C. Apple may agree to put this technology into its software due to police requests.
D. People may turn to other shooting devices if Apple introduces the prohibitive software.

As time goes on,neuroscientists learn more about the wonders of human brains.The deeper understanding offers ways to enhance your brain to work in your favor.You don't have to be a brain scientist to do it!(16)When you hear the word hack,you might be reminded of the snaky computer science puter hackers need to understand the inner workings of a computer to break into its system.
(17)They need to know how the brain works to change its neural network.With this knowledge,people have come up with ways to optimize brain performance and stick to healthier habits.
Neurohackers use their knowledge of how the brain works to change thought patterns,like daily habits.Doing this requires understanding the way habits form in the brain.Whenever you repeat a task,the brain connects its wires together between brain cells.Over time,these habits become hardwired into the brains.(18)They help carry out simple everyday tasks without much thought or attention.The trouble comes up when your brain wires unhealthy habits,such as negative self-talk.
(19)You need to rewire!And that requires mindfulness—a conscious awareness of your brain's behaviors and patterns at the very moment when they occur.In this way,you can change those habits in the direction that you want.
Below the conscious mind lives the subconscious,a deeper mental space that hosts what you have previously engraved into your mind.(20)Then,you can "hack" brain patterns,train thoughts toward positive circuits,and slowly develop healthier habits over time.
A.Find out what neurohacking is.
B.The same goes for neurohackers.
C.Just learn how to hack your brain.
D.How can you improve your mindfulness?
E.How do you change those undesirable habits?
F.Habits free up our brains so that we can learn new things.
G.With proper practices,you'll build a deeper awareness of your own brain.

38.A week before Halloween,my young children wild with great happiness were walking and running around our home in their Halloween costumes.Just then the babysitter called,telling me that she was extremely sorry for asking for a day off.I knew that emergencies did occur,and I told her that I completely understood.But what was actually going through my mind were feelings of frustration and self-pity.And I had to pack my three kids into the car,and then drove to the hospital.
On the way,numerous things flooded into my mind,and I especially thought about how life should be going.I was thirty years old,a mother of three girls- five-year-old twins and a one-year-old baby.At this moment,I should be playing with them in the park or visiting the library together.But I was,once again,going to see the doctor.It had been a year since I was diagnosed with cancer.I knew that I was one of the lucky ones.I was grateful that surgery and chemotherapy (化疗) were over,and this was just a routine blood test.As always,there was the remaining fear that the cancer would come back.To be honest,my family and friends were great during the past year when I was in bad condition,but they were also busy with their lives.Therefore,I did not want to burden them with my feelings of unhappiness.What I just wanted to see were the positive things in life and I really wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to them.
When we finally arrived,we sat in a crowded waiting room.Nothing special occurred until my youngest daughter,dressed up as an angel,walked up to a woman who was in a wheelchair and accompanied by her caregiver.My daughter looked at the woman and pointed to the vending(售货) machine next to her,saying sweetly, "Tweet." This was how she said "Trick or Treat",who had been coached previously by her twin sisters.

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Surprisingly,the woman,a complete stranger to us,knew exactly what my daughter meant._____
