Born in Russia and living in an orphanage(孤儿院) for the first 13 months of her life, Jessica Long had no idea what her future would hold. The little girl born with Fibular Hemimelia would not only go on to be a 13-time gold medal-winning Paralympic champion, but she would inspire others to chase their dreams.
Long was born in Russia, where she lived in an orphanage until her parents adopted her in 1993. Soon after being adopted, she had to have her legs amputated(截肢) at only a year and a half. "It gave me a lot of freedom and movement," Long said. "But growing up was definitely really hard. From a very early age, I just decided that I was going to be unstoppable and I wasn't going to let my legs hold me back." From that point forward, she didn't let anyone tell her what she was or wasn't capable of doing. She started doing gymnastics as a kid. Then, in 2002, Long found her sport for life: swimming!
"I was the only girl with no legs on the swim team," she said. "There were moments I struggled, but my teammates treated me like a friend. When I look back on my life and I think about anyone on that team, no one made fun of me for having no legs and they were so kind." Long defied(顶住) all odds and surprised everyone when she qualified at age only 12 for the Paralympics in 2004 in Athens. After four Paralympics, Long has won 13 gold, six silver, and four bronze medals. She has dozens of World Championship medals and has broken numerous world records throughout her career so far. But she didn't concentrate on winning awards or being famous. "I really just love swimming. It's important for any athlete to remember just why you started," she said.
As one of the most decorated athletes in history, Long's goal is to just keep competing as long as her body allows. "Dream big," she said. "There are so many possibilities out there, so find your passion, be consistent and work hard. You define your own success."
24.How old was Long when she found her life sport
A.11 B. 10. C. 12. D. 13.
25.What made Jessica determine to devote herself to swimming

Humans have long been trying to make sense of our place in the universe. Waiting at a launch site in French Guiana NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the latest step forward in that ancient quest(探索).
Using telescopes, astronomers have seen many galaxies(星系) such as the Andromeda Galaxy and the NGC 3227 Galaxy. So far, the most distant galaxy ever discovered, GN-z11, was spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope. To the untrained eye, it looks like a red blob(小点点), but it's basically like looking back in time about 13.4 billion years ago. That's just about 0.4 billion years after the Big Bang.
"Hubble is limited in how far back in time it can look, so finding this one was just a lucky break," says Marusa Bradac, an astronomer at the University of California. "Astronomers only spotted it because decades of using Hubble have let them cover much of the sky, and this particular early galaxy is surprisingly bright although it is 25 times smaller than the Milky Way Galaxy and has just one percent of its mass."
Already, with that one galaxy, we've started to question some of our assumptions about how galaxies grow. The powerful, $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope has technology that should let it see back to 0.1 ~0.2 billion years after the Big Bang, the period when the very first galaxies possibly formed.
"If all go well, the James Webb Space Telescope will help us to build up the story of how the first galaxies ever formed and how they grew into galaxies we see today and we live in today," says Bradac. "But the chances of seeing those first-born stars with the new telescope are small. There's maybe even more of a chance that we might see some of those stars explode. Such information can help us understand how galaxies formed and changed into the familiar shapes and structures seen today. That's what's amazing about the new telescope."
28.When did the Big Bang take place
A. Around 13.0 billion years ago. B. Around 13.4 billion years ago.
C. Around 13.6 billion years ago. D. Around 13.8 billion years ago.
29.What does the underlined words "this one" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The Milky Way Galaxy. B. The GN-z11 Galaxy.
C. The Andromeda Galaxy. D. The NGC 3227 Galaxy.
30.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The great potential of the new telescope.
B. The need for new scientific breakthroughs.
C. The cost of the James Webb Space Telescope.
D. The importance of the Hubble Space Telescope.
31.What can the new telescope most likely help scientists do according to Bradac
A. Find the first-born star in the universe.
B. Witness the occurring of the Big Bang.
C. See the explosion of some of the first-born stars.
D. Get a complete understanding of the universe.
D
The 2023 Nobel Prize in economics has been awarded to economic historian Claudia Goldin at Harvard University, "for having advanced our understanding of women's labor market outcomes". Goldin's work has helped to explain why women have been under-represented in the labor market for at least the past two centuries, and why even today they continue to earn less than men on average by around 13%.
Goldin mined 200 years of data to analyze how changes in women's participation in the labor force have been influenced by social, political and technological change over the past two centuries. Before Goldin's studies, it was widely thought that the increase in the percentage of women in work over the course of the 20th century was a reflection of economic growth—higher growth meant more females could be employed. But by looking back carefully at historical records, Goldin showed that the percentage of married women involved in paid work was at least as high in the late 18th century as it is today. She also demonstrated that although work opportunities for women expanded in the 20th century, they were not made use of as much as they could have been.
Goldin has also shown that inequalities in pay have not followed a simple relationship with economic growth. The earning divide between different genders was smaller during the industrial revolution during 1820-1850; the divide changed little between 1930 and 1980.Goldin showed in 2010 that being a mother has a key role in keeping pay inequality, largely through loss of earnings when women quit work in favor of raising children.
"The strength of her work comes from combining reliable historical data with insights from economic theories of wage determination, employment, discrimination and political economy," says economist Claudia Olivetti at Dartmouth College. "I am delighted to see Goldin's work recognized. She has been such an inspiration to many women and young researchers. Leading with passion, curiosity and integrity, she taught us to be brave and go for the big questions. Thanks to Goldin's research, some companies are now starting to change their practices with the introduction of flexible, family-friendly working arrangements."
32. Which aspect of the economy does Claudia Goldin focus on in her work
A. The labor market. B. The political economy.
C. The employment inequality. D. The gender pay gap.
33. What did Goldin's analysis of the 200-year data say
A. More working women reflect economic growth.
B. Jobs have been the same in the past 2 centuries.
C. Economic growth doesn't bring more women into employment.
D. Female labor forces have changed greatly since the 18th century.
34. What is the major factor in the earning divide according to Goldin
A. Marriage. B. Parenthood.
C. Economic growth. D. Industrial revolution.
35. Why is Claudia Olivetti's comment referred to in the last paragraph
A. To show Goldin's influence.
B. To praise Goldin for her bravery.
C. To explain reasons for Goldin's success.
D. To prove Goldin's insights into economy.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself. And unless otherwise 41 a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 42 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I 43 the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 44 because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my " 45 for it", I wouldn't have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started 46 the practice sessions, I didn't even know the rules of the game, much worse what I was doing. Sometimes I'd get 47 and take a shot at the wrong direction, which made me feel really stupid. 48 I wasn't the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't 49 "just yet".
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the "moves". Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of 51 .
With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process-friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much 52 !
With my improved self-confidence comes more 53 from teachers and classmates. I have-gone from " 54 " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn't and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

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。
When school was over, the day was fading and it started to drizzle(毛毛雨). I stood at the school gate, with a loaded backpack on my shoulders. It was Friday again: a weekend of joy with unlimited sleeping hours and dinner courses specially made to my taste, a weekend at home. I waved goodbye to my friends as they jumped into their fathers' warm and comfortable cars. Curiously, this gave rise to a disturbing feeling in me. It was not exactly what they called jealousy, but something like dismay(沮丧). I knew all I could expect was an old bike Mom would ride along on, with the badly-oiled chain creaking(嘎吱作响) against the wheel to announce her arrival.
Every Friday when Mom came to pick me up for the weekend, it was a moment full of great expectation and great unease. I always felt my face burning as we rode our way in and out of the numerous cars and saw my friends' faces sticking out of the car windows. It was like stepping into a ballroom with beautifully dressed ladies and finding yourself in a smelly T-shirt.
To tell you the truth, Mom is quite a headache once in a while. She just looks a homely middle-aged housewife. Being a practitioner of DIY, she knits most of my sweaters, chiefly in old styles. Whenever caught by some curious classmates asking what brand my sweaters are, I'd force a smile and reply in a half joking manner: homemade.
I couldn't remember when I started to find her such an embarrassment. As a little boy, I relied on her so much. She had been working at home, cooking in the kitchen, knitting by the lamp or riding across town to buy me a book I badly needed. It had always been much fun riding with mom. But just now there seemed to be something standing between us, something that made her so strange to me and me to her.

Today she showed up in a raincoat. ________________________________________________

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1：
Today she showed up in a raincoat. When I saw her, I felt full of great expectation but great unease. It seemed so unfair that my classmates sat in their parents' cars, but I just sat on an old badly-oiled chain creaking bike. Why I had to hide the rain from the ugly raincoat. I was full of complaint about all of these. I was sick of these. How I wished I could also have rich parents like my classmates. Thinking about these things, I was quite dissatisfied with my mother. I even didn't want her to pick me up. So I didn't say a word with her and sat on the bike silently.
Paragraph 2：
Mom tried to cover me with the back of the raincoat again as a storm set in. She also didn't say a word with me. She just wanted to make sure that I didn't get wet. She seemed to know What I felt. So She just wanted to comfort me and gave me the warmth and love She could give me. Thinking about these, my eyes was filled with tears. I didn't feel uneased, but was full of greatness for the best she tried to give me.

In 2014, Amazon released the world's first voice-controlled "smart assistant", called the Echo. It performed a variety of functions, including setting alarms, creating to-do lists, and providing real-time information such as weather, traffic and other news. Two years later, Google came out with the $180 Google Home. In 2017, the toy company Mattel came out with Aristotle, their idea of a personal assistant, aimed at kids. If you are in the market for one of these smart assistants, there are a number of things to consider. For instance, Google Home can answer a wide variety of questions and has a music library of 35 million songs. It also has many functions that work well with the TV, and is $50 cheaper than Amazon Echo. Echo can all be operated just by voice command. It has a music library of 2 million songs. Mattel's Aristotle can do most of what the other two can, but is meant to be more of a personal companion to children. It can be used as a baby camera in your child's early years, and still be useful until around middle school. It plays interactive games with them, reads to them, and serves as an instructional resource as the children grow up. In summary, all three have their benefits.
