Marissa Sumathipala, a student at Broad Run High School outside of Washington, D.C, was practicing with her recreational figure-skating team when she crashed with another skater. Her head hit against the ice heavily. Everything went black.
Up to that point, Sumathipala’s entire life had centred around her sport — her daily schedule, exercise routine, even her diet. She had hopes of making the 2018 Olympic team. The fall on the ice would change everything, including her direction.
Sumathipala had a brain injury and it ended her skating career. Symptoms lasted for years. Her memory felt unclear at times. She’d find herself dizzy, sick, or exhausted. Sumathipala consulted doctors, so many that she “lost count.” But no one had answers.
Sumathipala began to realize that there was so much unknown about the brain. She set out to find the answers herself, a path that would eventually bring her to Harvard University, where she’d concentrate in the human brain. Throughout her four years, Surmathipala homed in on brain science. She worked with the McCarroll Lab at Harvard Medical School, helping develop a new method for sequencing synapses (神经突序列) in the brain, which are crucial for memory and learning. Even as an undergraduate, her colleagues were so struck by how mature her thinking already was about science that she quickly became a trusted and valued member of the lab.
Also, Sumathipala competed with the Harvard Figure Skating Club all four years. She helped increase its membership and introduced new skaters to the sport she still loves. “I spent a long time struggling with my identity,” she said. “Growing up I was just a skater and then, when I got injured, I had to rebuild my identity. Then I was a scientist. Now, I identify as being both a skater and a scientist.”
Reflecting on her years at Harvard, Sumathipala said one of the things she’s most grateful for is seeing how things have come full circle for her.
4. What do we know about Sumathipala’s injury
A. It stopped her skating eventually. B. It led to her loss of eyesight
C. It changed her life direction. D. It was easily cured by doctors.
5 In what way did Sumathipala think she could find the answer to her disease
A. Turning to doctors.
B. Go on practicing.
C. Rebuilding her identity.
D. Doing research on brain herself.
6. What does the underlined phrase “homed in on” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. focused on B. returned to C. attended to D. stayed at
7. What made things come full circle for Sumathipala
A. Deep love for figure skating,
B. Her determination to achieve life goals.
C. The praise from her lab colleagues.
D. Good relationship with new skaters.
C
While it throws out about 90 pounds of food per person every year, Japan doesn’t rank at the top of the world’s list of wasteful nations. Still, what’s thrown away represents a serious problem for an island nation with limited landfill space and a goal of greater sustainability. Reinvention can offer an alternative. A Japanese company is taking vegetable peels, cooking oil and other used foodstuffs and making entirely different products.
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world, and its key element, cement, is a major polluter of greenhouse emissions. So what if a more sustainable alternative were possible by making cement with food waste, which also would help reduce greenhouse emissions from landfills where that waste would otherwise be thrown away That’s the idea behind Fabula, a Tokyo-based start-up.
Researchers at Fabula created a recipe to make food concrete by drying leftovers and pressing them into a mold (模具) at a high temperature. The company, founded by researchers at the University of Tokyo, began with items commonly thrown away like cabbage and orange peels but found that almost any food item can be used. It now takes mostly coffee grounds and tea leaves to make its cement. The product’s durability depends on the components.
Fabula is currently producing made-to-order household items, such as coasters and dishes, while awaiting its patent. The goal is to make furniture and larger structures once the technology is able to make the cement more durable. Food production companies that can’t avoid generating waste during their processes have reached out to work with the company. “We hope to become a matching service between companies that have food waste and companies who want to build things out of such materials,” said Takuma Oishi, Fabula’s chief commercial officer.
Since the cement is 100 percent eatable, it could create opportunities during disaster response when temporary structures need to be built quickly. The people inside might even turn to them for food. If the technology advances enough, Oishi suggested, someday we may be able “to eat the homes or furniture when necessary”.
8. Which problem Japan faces is mentioned in paragraph 1
A. Food waste. B. Garbage littering.
C. Energy crisis. D. Environmental pollution.
9. What’s the initial thought of Fabula
A. Using food remains in recipes.
B. Finding a cheaper alternative to landfills.
C. Making a novel building material from leftovers.
D. Cutting greenhouse gases by recycling home devices.
10. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The diversity of food sources. B. The prospects of the company.
C. The innovation of a traditional cuisine. D. The process of developing food concrete.
11. How is food concrete different from common construction materials
A. It can fill stomachs. B. It’s solid and lasting.
C. It can prevent disasters. D. It’s delicate but cost-free.
D
A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen.
The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals(哺乳动物), insects, and frogs which practice turn-taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another.
While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays.
Kobin Kendrick, the main co-author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take turns when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after,” he says.
Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl (猫头鹰) chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick.
One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more cross talk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick.
12. What can we learn about the turn-taking behavior
A. It is a unique human quality. B. It is an acquired athletic skill.
C. It occurs between familiar relations. D. It features complexity and interaction.
13. Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication
A. Frogs show skin colors. B. Bees release smells.
C. Eagles scream in the sky. D. Monkeys exchange calls.
14. Why are “owl chicks” mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To propose a definition. B. To give a contrast.
C. To present an argument. D. To make a prediction.
15. What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight
A. Research budget. B. Research range.
C. Research frequency. D. Research background.

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。
Just like on every break, Asiri would go with his uncle to his workshop, who made costumes for elephants! Asiri had been asking to help make the costumes. But he’d been told he was too little to sew the fine stitches (缝线) needed for the costumes.
Waiting for Uncle Thad, Asiri smoothed his practice piece beside him. Across it he had sewn, pulled out, and resewn stitches just as Uncle Thad had taught him. He couldn’t wait to show it to his uncle.
When his uncle finally came over, Asiri leapt from his seat. “Look, Uncle, ” said Asiri, holding up the stitched cloth. “These are fine stitches, Asiri, ” said Uncle Thad. “Just right to fix sequins (亮片). ” Together they walked to the workshop.
Uncle Thad and his team were busy making the costumes. They had to be ready for Esala Perahera, the biggest festival held in the city of Kandy. Since the elephants were the stars of the parade, their costumes had to be dazzling. He especially loved the sequins sewn on them that made them sparkle.
Uncle Thad, his team, and now Asiri, would finish the costumes. Asiri hoped he’d get to sew a sequin onto the costume for the most important elephant in the parade. After lunch, Asiri was putting away a piece of cloth when his uncle called. “Asiri Please bring me the box of golden sequins. ”
Here was his chance, thought Asiri. He’d bring the box to Uncle Thad and then ask to sew one on. Uncle Thad was sure to say yes. Asiri lifted the box from the shelf but turned a little too quickly, and the box was turned over, leaving the golden sequins on the floor. Uncle Thad turned to stare-first at Asiri and then at the golden sequins. Asiri felt his cheeks turning red. Now, Uncle Thad would never let him sew a single sequin on the costumes this year. Asiri dashed out of the door, down the street, and all the way back home. Hearing the rush of his footsteps, Asiri’s mother came to the door.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右;

Dear Peter,
Learning you’re interested in Chinese films, I’m glad to share with you one of my favorites, The Wandering Earth Ⅱ , which was released during the Spring Festival. It is an awesome science fiction film starring Wu Jing and Liu Dehua.
What appeals to me are the grand scenes and touching plots. Faced with the solar crisis, the Chinese government and scientists shoulder the responsibility of protecting the earth, making joint efforts to keep human civilizations alive. The presented advanced technologies also impressed me and filled me with pride.
I strongly recommend you enjoy the film, which won’t let you down.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】 “What’s wrong, Asiri ” asked his mother. “I spilled the sequins!” he blurted, almost in tears. “Did you clean them up ” she asked. “No. ” Asiri answered. “Go back and clean them up,” she said with a wave of her hand. “Uncle Thad will expect you to.” Asiri shook his head. But he knew it was only right to clean up a mess he’d made. It was one of Uncle Thad’s workshop rules. Hearing mother’s words, Asiri knew what he should do. He walked towards the workshop with heart in his mouth.
Reaching the workshop, Asiri found the sequins were still there. They lay scat-tered across the floor, waiting for him. Asiri gathered the sequins into a pile and swept them into a dust pan. Carefully, he shook it, separating the dust from the sequins. Only when the last sequin slipped into the box did Asiri glance up. Uncle Thad stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. Crossing the room, he squeezed Asiri’s shoulder. “Good workers always clean up after themselves.” He clapped his hands. “Now, come. There are costumes to finish and sequins to sew.”
