Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”
“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
24. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage
A. To argue for the true essence of courage.
B. To question the common belief of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
25. What did the two students suggest the daughter do
A. Challenge her own limits. B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Keep to a suitable pace. D. Stick with experienced climbers.
26. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.
D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.
27. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Kindness connects us all.
B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.
D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.
C
Cordero is the farm manager at Ollin Farms, not far from Boulder, Colorado. The locally grown vegetables on the farm aren’t just pretty. “We play an important role in public health nutrition programs,” says Cordero’s dad, Mark Guttridge, who started this farm with his wife, Kena, 17 years ago.
At a meeting with about a dozen local farmers, two state representatives, and the Colorado officials of agriculture, Guttridge explains how Boulder county has made creative investments in his farm that could be spread to the state or even national level. Before the meeting, Guttridge shows them one of those investments.
A dozen sheep, which Guttridge raises for wool, feed on root vegetables like radishes that have been leftover for them. “So these guys are out fertilizing (施肥) the vegetable field,” Guttridge laughs. “They’ll be out here a couple more weeks, and then we’ll get our next summer vegetables planted right there.” Around the field is a special moveable type of fencing that Ollin Farms bought using grants (补助金) from the Boulder County Sustainability Office. It allows them to move the sheep from one field to another, fertilizing as they go. The goal of these investments is “really building up our soil health,” he explains. “That relates directly to the nutrient quality of the food-healthy soil grows healthy food.”
The county also makes an effort to get that healthy food out to different communities to boost public health. That’s where the Boulder County Public Health department comes in. It created a coupon (赠券) program to give discounts to people buying fruits and vegetables from Ollin Farms. Nutrition incentive programs, like those public health fruit and vegetable coupons, are spreading all over the country, and most are funded through the federal farm bill. Amy Yaroch, executive director at the Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition, says “It’s a triple win. It’s basically good for the consumers who live in that particular community because they’re getting the healthy food, it’s good for the farmer, and then it’s good for the economy.”
28. What does Ollin Farms do
A. It makes public nutrition health plans.
B. It offers financial grants to other farms.
C. It provides cheap food to the local community.
D. It grows fruits and vegetables rich in nutrition.
29. How does Boulder county support sustainable farming practices at Ollin Farms
A. By raising sheep on radishes.
B. By buying fences for farmhouses.
C. By investing in the farm’s soil health.
D. By giving advice about fertilizing fields.
30. What is Amy’s attitude towards “nutrition incentive programs”
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Couponing for Health: Stimulating Nutrition Choices
B. Growing Health: Innovations in Farm and Public Health Initiatives (措施)
C. Fertile Fields and Furry Friends: A Farming Fairy Tale
D. Local Produce, Global Impact: The Nutrition Choices of Ollin Farms
D
Silent reading is far from silent in your brain. Deep within your head there is a voice reading aloud each word as your eyes pass over it.
Let’s do a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn on your television and radio. Try to understand both the words from the television and the radio simultaneously. You might have noticed understanding one source required ignoring the other, and you could feel your attention shifting between the two voices. Although we can listen to multiple people speaking at the same time, we can only truly understand one person speaking at a time.
There are three major areas that allow you to understand spoken word. The first is the Auditory Cortex (听觉皮层), which processes the pure characteristics of incoming sounds. Both sides of your brain contain this region. The next area is the Broca / Wernicke (B/W) network, which makes sense of the spoken word. This network exists in only one side of your brain. This means that, although the sounds of language are initially processed in both sides of the brain, spoken word must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) into this single network. This quickly leads to a bottleneck, which is controlled by the third area: the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When you try to understand two people speaking at the same time, this region effectively blocks one voice while it allows the other to pass through the B/W bottleneck. Any information that does not immediately make it through the B/W network disappears completely — there is no waitlist.
Now, let’s bring all the pieces together to see why it’s related to your silent reading. When you read, the first region to demonstrate activation is the Visual Cortex, which processes the pure visual characteristics of incoming sights. Immediately after the visual cortex activates, the speech areas of the brain fire up because your brain processes your silent reading in a manner almost identical to the way in which it processes an actual, out-loud speaking voice. For this reason, attempting to read while listening to someone speak is the same as trying to understand two people speaking at the same time—it can’t be done!
32. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 2 mean
A. At the same time. B. One at a time.
C. On the whole. D. Through comparison.
33. Which of the following best illustrates paragraph 3
A. B.
C. D.
Note: disappear; wait
34. What may the author agree with
A. Professors give a speech with a text-heavy PowerPoint slide.
B. Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively.
C. Students solve math problem when following a lecture.
D. Students practice listening skills while reading novels.
35. Which of the following sentences can best serve as an introduction to the text
A. The art of conversation lies in listening.
B. What is reading, but a silent conversation.
C. We hear and understand only what we already know half.
D. Once an idea gets into your head, it’s probably going to stay there.

As a high school student, you're likely used to learning through reading textbooks. ____36____ This lies at the heart of“experiential appreciation,”a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you.

____39____ After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.
Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. ____40____ So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Melati and Isabel deeply love their home on the island, surrounded by tropical rain forests, green fields, and a vast ocean. Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them. But when Melati was fifteen, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their borne. More often than not, plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach. They got really upset about that.
Melati didn't think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes. Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world. They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful. After school, Melati walked home slowly in silence, concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach. The heroes crossed her mind. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought. The idea lit her up. She couldn't wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace.
“So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It's so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach. Can't we do something to get it back " Melati said heartily. Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do, but she also had a strong desire to do something. Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind, the pair jumped with joy.
They talked a lot, anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas. That night when the family sat by the dinner table, the sisters eagerly got their ideas across. While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully, their eyes shone. “How amazing that would be! We are so proud of you!” Dad exclaimed. Mom came up, gave them a thumb up and hugged the sisters.

Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away. They took advantage of their spare time to pick up rubbish on the beach. However, so massive and endless was the rubbish that only a small patch of beach was clear at the end of the day. Sighing heavily and shaking her head, Malati discussed with Isabel, “we need more hands to clean the beach!” After discussions and preparations, they started an organization to spread their idea among youth, involving more youths in the movement. Their efforts did not go unnoticed. With more and more teenagers and other concerned citizens getting involved, they altogether collected and recycled 2.5 tons of plastic in a month, recovering the beautiful beach. Melati and Isabel are heroes who make a big difference to our world.
