What began as a frightening situation was rapidly solved by the fast thinking of one person. Andrea Fuentes, the head coach of USA Artistic Swimming, is known for her successful career — she won four Olympic medals for Spain as an artistic swimmer herself. But after a dangerous incident in June 2022, she has also been praised as a hero.
During the solo free final at the World Aquatics Championships, Anita Alvarez was performing her routine when things took a turn for the worse. While impressing the judges with her routine, she suddenly lost consciousness(意识) and sank to the bottom of the pool.
Fuentes, her coach, looked for help. “I saw that the lifeguards (救生员) were not jumping into the water because they were shocked. I shouted at them from the other side to get into the water immediately!” Fuentes told a Spanish radio program. Growing increasingly concerned, the coach jumped into the water, fully dressed, to rescue Alvarez when medical assistance arrived. Alvarez was then placed on a stretcher and taken away to receive medical care. The team later posted an update, stating that the swimmer was feeling much better, with normal vital signs, oxygen, and sugar levels. After a careful evaluation, she was considered healthy and went back to the swimming pool.
Almost a year after the incident, the USA Artistic Swimming team announced the athletes who make up the senior national team at the 2023 World Championships and Pan American Games. Not only is Alvarez one of them, but Fuentes remains the head coach. Together, they’ll work to bring home some much-deserved medals and awards. Coach Fuentes states, “I am very excited for this next chapter, and I feel honored as their coach to lead this group of talented swimmers to make Team USA the best team we can be.”
4. Why has Andrea Fuentes been considered a hero
A. She won four Olympic medals.
B. She reacted rapidly to the incident.
C. She was head coach of a USA team.
D. She risked her life to save a stranger.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The process of Fuentes’ saving.
B. The procedures of medical assistance.
C. The dangers faced by artistic swimmers.
D. The reason why the lifeguards hesitated.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Alvarez has left the senior national team.
B. Fuentes’ action has earned her more rewards.
C. Alvarez won several medals after the recovery.
D. Alvarez’s life has recently returned to normal.
7. Which can best describe Fuentes as a coach
A. Caring and ambitious. B. Strict and adventurous.
C. Careful and quick-thinking. D. Humorous and kind-hearted.
C
A plan to thicken sea ice using water from the ocean below could offer mankind a final chance to save the disappearing sea ice. Field trials (实地试验) done this year in the Arctic have turned out to be successful, says UK start-up Real Ice.
Arctic sea ice cover is falling rapidly because of climate change. Many scientists expect the area to be ice-free in the summer in the 2030s, even if sharp cuts to emissions (排放) are made. The only way to save the area’s summer sea ice is to find a way to thicken the ice, some researchers say.
Real Ice’s solution includes making a hole through the ice, then drawing water up and onto the snow that sits atop the ice. The water would go in the snow and freeze (冻结), turning the snow into ice. This means the cold from the Arctic air would spread through it and result in the growth of more ice on the underside of the ice.
Working with the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, Real Ice has been doing field trials this year in Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island in Canada. The company says the trials have validated the idea, thickening the ice shelf by 50 centimeters compared with a control site between January and May.
The experiment also exhibited that the salty water left after the seawater freezes runs through the ice back into the ocean, rather than remaining on top of the ice, which would weaken the result of it.
But differences in attitude (态度) were obvious among scientists Many are worried about the risk of unexpected results.
“I don’t think any of these ideas are practical,” says Julienne Stroeve at University College London. She raises worries about the plan’s energy (能源) requirements, as well as the influence that a loss of snow cover would have on animals such as polar bears and seals, which use snow to dig holes for their young. The only solution for saving Arctic ice is to cut emissions, she says.
8. What do some researchers think about the loss of sea ice in the Arctic
A. It has been worsened more rapidly recently.
B. The Arctic area will soon be free of sea ice.
C. Fruitful steps are being taken to hold it back.
D. Mankind has no choice but to thicken the ice.
9. What does the underlined word “validate” mean in paragraph 4
A. Supported. B. Accepted. C. Misunderstood. D. Refused.
10. What is Julienne Stroeve’s attitude to thickening sea ice
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Environment in the Arctic is Worrisome
B. The Plan to Refreeze Sea Ice Shows Promise
C. The Method of Cutting Emissions is Preferable
D. The Sea Ice Cover in the Arctic Disappears Rapidly
D
Going to parties, giving presentations, attending networking events...These social interactions are just part of normal (正常的) life for so many people, but for those who are shy, these interactions can feel more like challenges.
Shyness is a quality (品质) that is found in cultures around the world. It’s often grouped in with social anxiety or introversion (内向). But shyness isn’t in the same way that social anxiety is, and an introvert often prefers time alone. Shy people often want to be able to interact with others, but find themselves unable to do so.
There are facts suggesting that some people are born shyer than others. A study found there is a connection between shyness and deficits (缺陷) in two areas of the brain: the amygdala and hippocampus. Researchers watched the brains of the subjects while they were shown pictures of strange faces many times. For those considered to be not shy, these areas of the brain were set off when the faces were new, but the reaction weakened the more times they saw the same faces. For the subjects considered to be shy, the two areas of the brain continued to react to the faces, whether they were new or being shown again. This failure to habituate soon makes them find meeting with new people uncomfortable and thus avoid new social experiences.
The way we are raised is also influential. Parents who are too anxious to protect children from being hurt, can make them unable to develop confident social skills. As we get older, we start to self-manage our behavior, leading them to what we feel comfortable with, which then creates a cycle of shyness.
Shyness isn’t a condition that necessarily needs to be specially treated. It’s quite OK to feel shy in certain situations and generally it doesn’t cause any real problems. However, if shyness does develop into something more-having a noticeable influence on quality of life-then this could be social anxiety, which should be taken seriously.
12. How does the author explain shyness in paragraph 2
A. By listing facts. B. By giving examples.
C By making comparison. D. By borrowing famous sayings.
13. What can be concluded about shy people from the study
A. They are not as smart as others.
B. They don’t react to strange faces.
C. They are slower to get used to new faces.
D. They develop deficits in the brain after birth.
14. Which is a good parenting style according to paragraph 4
A. Not being too overprotective of children.
B. Not punishing children for making mistakes.
C. Teaching children self-management earlier.
D. Helping children to create a circle of shyness.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To encourage a social skill.
B. To introduce a science study.
C. To publicize a human quality.
D. To suggest a parenting method.

The kids in Ms. Ryder’s art group all gathered round. “Our school’s welcome sign looks old and faded,” Ms Ryder pointed up at the old wall painting. “It’s our turn to do something new and bright. Let’s collect some ideas.”
The children started to think. “Let’s just make a new welcome sign in bright colors,” Ella beamed. Ms Ryder smiled, “Nice idea, but I was thinking that we could paint a big picture about all our children, something a bit more special.”
“A giant heart with all our names on it, ”Sara said. “Sports,” Tiger joined in. “We do lots of sports; let’s have a big picture with all kinds of sports.” “The Earth, with people all over it.” Mattie was thoughtful. But then Eliza joined in, “It’s a puzzle. How can we all join in and paint a picture. We’ve all got different ideas.”
Ms. Ryder smiled. “That’s it! We all have different ideas, but we all fit in together and want to paint a big picture. Let’s paint a big puzzle in the brightest colors!”
The next day, they set to work. They were ready to paint the giant jigsaw(拼图) puzzle. The puzzle was very big with lots of pieces, all the pieces fitted together, but there was space all around.
“For our names ”Carlos asked. “What a good idea, Carlos, for all our names, and for all the children in our school.” Ms. Ryder was having fun. Eliza smiled,“We all want our different kids in our puzzle. Red, blue and green; that’s not enough.”
Ms. Ryder agreed and the children learned to mix as many colors as the numbers of the kids at school. Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, brown. They learnt new colors, too-Apple Green, Sapphire Blue, Canary Yellow, Crimson Red. The children wanted as many colors as possible in their new picture.

What began as a frightening situation was rapidly solved by the fast thinking of one person. Andrea Fuentes, the head coach of USA Artistic Swimming, is known for her successful career — she won four Olympic medals for Spain as an artistic swimmer herself. But after a dangerous incident in June 2022, she has also been praised as a hero.
During the solo free final at the World Aquatics Championships, Anita Alvarez was performing her routine when things took a turn for the worse. While impressing the judges with her routine, she suddenly lost consciousness(意识) and sank to the bottom of the pool.
Fuentes, her coach, looked for help. “I saw that the lifeguards (救生员) were not jumping into the water because they were shocked. I shouted at them from the other side to get into the water immediately!” Fuentes told a Spanish radio program. Growing increasingly concerned, the coach jumped into the water, fully dressed, to rescue Alvarez when medical assistance arrived. Alvarez was then placed on a stretcher and taken away to receive medical care. The team later posted an update, stating that the swimmer was feeling much better, with normal vital signs, oxygen, and sugar levels. After a careful evaluation, she was considered healthy and went back to the swimming pool.
Almost a year after the incident, the USA Artistic Swimming team announced the athletes who make up the senior national team at the 2023 World Championships and Pan American Games. Not only is Alvarez one of them, but Fuentes remains the head coach. Together, they’ll work to bring home some much-deserved medals and awards. Coach Fuentes states, “I am very excited for this next chapter, and I feel honored as their coach to lead this group of talented swimmers to make Team USA the best team we can be.”
4. Why has Andrea Fuentes been considered a hero
A. She won four Olympic medals.
B. She reacted rapidly to the incident.
C. She was head coach of a USA team.
D. She risked her life to save a stranger.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The process of Fuentes’ saving.
B. The procedures of medical assistance.
C. The dangers faced by artistic swimmers.
D. The reason why the lifeguards hesitated.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Alvarez has left the senior national team.
B. Fuentes’ action has earned her more rewards.
C. Alvarez won several medals after the recovery.
D. Alvarez’s life has recently returned to normal.
7. Which can best describe Fuentes as a coach
A. Caring and ambitious. B. Strict and adventurous.
C. Careful and quick-thinking. D. Humorous and kind-hearted.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A

A plan to thicken sea ice using water from the ocean below could offer mankind a final chance to save the disappearing sea ice. Field trials (实地试验) done this year in the Arctic have turned out to be successful, says UK start-up Real Ice.
Arctic sea ice cover is falling rapidly because of climate change. Many scientists expect the area to be ice-free in the summer in the 2030s, even if sharp cuts to emissions (排放) are made. The only way to save the area’s summer sea ice is to find a way to thicken the ice, some researchers say.
Real Ice’s solution includes making a hole through the ice, then drawing water up and onto the snow that sits atop the ice. The water would go in the snow and freeze (冻结), turning the snow into ice. This means the cold from the Arctic air would spread through it and result in the growth of more ice on the underside of the ice.
Working with the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, Real Ice has been doing field trials this year in Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island in Canada. The company says the trials have validated the idea, thickening the ice shelf by 50 centimeters compared with a control site between January and May.
The experiment also exhibited that the salty water left after the seawater freezes runs through the ice back into the ocean, rather than remaining on top of the ice, which would weaken the result of it.
But differences in attitude (态度) were obvious among scientists. Many are worried about the risk of unexpected results.
“I don’t think any of these ideas are practical,” says Julienne Stroeve at University College London. She raises worries about the plan’s energy (能源) requirements, as well as the influence that a loss of snow cover would have on animals such as polar bears and seals, which use snow to dig holes for their young. The only solution for saving Arctic ice is to cut emissions, she says.
8. What do some researchers think about the loss of sea ice in the Arctic
A. It has been worsened more rapidly recently.
B. The Arctic area will soon be free of sea ice.
C. Fruitful steps are being taken to hold it back.
D. Mankind has no choice but to thicken the ice.
9. What does the underlined word “validate” mean in paragraph 4
A. Supported. B. Accepted. C. Misunderstood. D. Refused.
10. What is Julienne Stroeve’s attitude to thickening sea ice
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Environment in the Arctic is Worrisome
B. The Plan to Refreeze Sea Ice Shows Promise
C. The Method of Cutting Emissions is Preferable
D. The Sea Ice Cover in the Arctic Disappears Rapidly
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
D
Going to parties, giving presentations, attending networking events...These social interactions are just part of normal (正常的) life for so many people, but for those who are shy, these interactions can feel more like challenges.
Shyness is a quality (品质) that is found in cultures around the world. It’s often grouped in with social anxiety or introversion (内向). But shyness isn’t in the same way that social anxiety is, and an introvert often prefers time alone. Shy people often want to be able to interact with others, but find themselves unable to do so.
There are facts suggesting that some people are born shyer than others. A study found there is a connection between shyness and deficits (缺陷) in two areas of the brain: the amygdala and hippocampus. Researchers watched the brains of the subjects while they were shown pictures of strange faces many times. For those considered to be not shy, these areas of the brain were set off when the faces were new, but the reaction weakened the more times they saw the same faces. For the subjects considered to be shy, the two areas of the brain continued to react to the faces, whether they were new or being shown again. This failure to habituate soon makes them find meeting with new people uncomfortable and thus avoid new social experiences.
The way we are raised is also influential. Parents who are too anxious to protect children from being hurt, can make them unable to develop confident social skills. As we get older, we start to self-manage our behavior, leading them to what we feel comfortable with, which then creates a cycle of shyness.
Shyness isn’t a condition that necessarily needs to be specially treated. It’s quite OK to feel shy in certain situations, and generally it doesn’t cause any real problems. However, if shyness does develop into something more-having a noticeable influence on quality of life-then this could be social anxiety, which should be taken seriously.
12. How does the author explain shyness in paragraph 2
A. By listing facts. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparison. D. By borrowing famous sayings.
13. What can be concluded about shy people from the study
A. They are not as smart as others.
B. They don’t react to strange faces.
C. They are slower to get used to new faces.
D. They develop deficits in the brain after birth.
14. Which is a good parenting style according to paragraph 4
A. Not being too overprotective of children.
B. Not punishing children for making mistakes.
C. Teaching children self-management earlier.
D. Helping children to create a circle of shyness.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To encourage a social skill.
B. To introduce a science study.
C. To publicize a human quality.
D. To suggest a parenting method.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C

The kids in Ms. Ryder’s art group all gathered round. “Our school’s welcome sign looks old and faded” Ms Ryder pointed up at the old wall painting. “It’s our turn to do something new and bright. Let’s collect some ideas.”
The children started to think. “Let’s just make a new welcome sign in bright colors,” Ella beamed. Ms Ryder smiled, “Nice idea, but I was thinking that we could paint a big picture about all our children, something a bit more special.”
“A giant heart with all our names on it, ”Sara said. “Sports,” Tiger joined in. “We do lots of sports; let’s have a big picture with all kinds of sports.” “The Earth, with people all over it.” Mattie was thoughtful. But then Eliza joined in, “It’s a puzzle. How can we all join in and paint a picture. We’ve all got different ideas.”
Ms. Ryder smiled. “That’s it! We all have different ideas, but we all fit in together and want to paint a big picture. Let’s paint a big puzzle in the brightest colors!”
The next day, they set to work. They were ready to paint the giant jigsaw(拼图) puzzle. The puzzle was very big with lots of pieces, all the pieces fitted together, but there was space all around.
“For our names ”Carlos asked. “What a good idea, Carlos, for all our names, and for all the children in our school.” Ms. Ryder was having fun. Eliza smiled,“We all want our different kids in our puzzle. Red, blue and green; that’s not enough.”
Ms. Ryder agreed and the children learned to mix as many colors as the numbers of the kids at school. Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, brown. They learnt new colors, too-Apple Green, Sapphire Blue, Canary Yellow, Crimson Red. The children wanted as many colors as possible in their new picture.

What began as a frightening situation was rapidly solved by the fast thinking of one person. Andrea Fuentes, the head coach of USA Artistic Swimming, is known for her successful career — she won four Olympic medals for Spain as an artistic swimmer herself. But after a dangerous incident in June 2022, she has also been praised as a hero.
During the solo free final at the World Aquatics Championships, Anita Alvarez was performing her routine when things took a turn for the worse. While impressing the judges with her routine, she suddenly lost consciousness(意识) and sank to the bottom of the pool.
Fuentes, her coach, looked for help. “I saw that the lifeguards (救生员) were not jumping into the water because they were shocked. I shouted at them from the other side to get into the water immediately!” Fuentes told a Spanish radio program. Growing increasingly concerned, the coach jumped into the water, fully dressed, to rescue Alvarez when medical assistance arrived. Alvarez was then placed on a stretcher and taken away to receive medical care. The team later posted an update, stating that the swimmer was feeling much better, with normal vital signs, oxygen, and sugar levels. After a careful evaluation, she was considered healthy and went back to the swimming pool.
Almost a year after the incident, the USA Artistic Swimming team announced the athletes who make up the senior national team at the 2023 World Championships and Pan American Games. Not only is Alvarez one of them, but Fuentes remains the head coach. Together, they’ll work to bring home some much-deserved medals and awards. Coach Fuentes states, “I am very excited for this next chapter, and I feel honored as their coach to lead this group of talented swimmers to make Team USA the best team we can be.”
4. Why has Andrea Fuentes been considered a hero
A. She won four Olympic medals.
B. She reacted rapidly to the incident.
C. She was head coach of a USA team.
D. She risked her life to save a stranger.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The process of Fuentes’ saving.
B. The procedures of medical assistance.
C. The dangers faced by artistic swimmers.
D. The reason why the lifeguards hesitated.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Alvarez has left the senior national team.
B. Fuentes’ action has earned her more rewards.
C. Alvarez won several medals after the recovery.
D. Alvarez’s life has recently returned to normal.
7. Which can best describe Fuentes as a coach
A. Caring and ambitious. B. Strict and adventurous.
C. Careful and quick-thinking. D. Humorous and kind-hearted.
C
A plan to thicken sea ice using water from the ocean below could offer mankind a final chance to save the disappearing sea ice. Field trials (实地试验) done this year in the Arctic have turned out to be successful, says UK start-up Real Ice.
Arctic sea ice cover is falling rapidly because of climate change. Many scientists expect the area to be ice-free in the summer in the 2030s, even if sharp cuts to emissions (排放) are made. The only way to save the area’s summer sea ice is to find a way to thicken the ice, some researchers say.
Real Ice’s solution includes making a hole through the ice, then drawing water up and onto the snow that sits atop the ice. The water would go in the snow and freeze (冻结), turning the snow into ice. This means the cold from the Arctic air would spread through it and result in the growth of more ice on the underside of the ice.
Working with the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, Real Ice has been doing field trials this year in Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island in Canada. The company says the trials have validated the idea, thickening the ice shelf by 50 centimeters compared with a control site between January and May.
The experiment also exhibited that the salty water left after the seawater freezes runs through the ice back into the ocean, rather than remaining on top of the ice, which would weaken the result of it.
But differences in attitude (态度) were obvious among scientists Many are worried about the risk of unexpected results.
“I don’t think any of these ideas are practical,” says Julienne Stroeve at University College London. She raises worries about the plan’s energy (能源) requirements, as well as the influence that a loss of snow cover would have on animals such as polar bears and seals, which use snow to dig holes for their young. The only solution for saving Arctic ice is to cut emissions, she says.
8. What do some researchers think about the loss of sea ice in the Arctic
A. It has been worsened more rapidly recently.
B. The Arctic area will soon be free of sea ice.
C. Fruitful steps are being taken to hold it back.
D. Mankind has no choice but to thicken the ice.
9. What does the underlined word “validate” mean in paragraph 4
A. Supported. B. Accepted. C. Misunderstood. D. Refused.
10. What is Julienne Stroeve’s attitude to thickening sea ice
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Environment in the Arctic is Worrisome
B. The Plan to Refreeze Sea Ice Shows Promise
C. The Method of Cutting Emissions is Preferable
D. The Sea Ice Cover in the Arctic Disappears Rapidly
D
Going to parties, giving presentations, attending networking events...These social interactions are just part of normal (正常的) life for so many people, but for those who are shy, these interactions can feel more like challenges.
Shyness is a quality (品质) that is found in cultures around the world. It’s often grouped in with social anxiety or introversion (内向). But shyness isn’t in the same way that social anxiety is, and an introvert often prefers time alone. Shy people often want to be able to interact with others, but find themselves unable to do so.
There are facts suggesting that some people are born shyer than others. A study found there is a connection between shyness and deficits (缺陷) in two areas of the brain: the amygdala and hippocampus. Researchers watched the brains of the subjects while they were shown pictures of strange faces many times. For those considered to be not shy, these areas of the brain were set off when the faces were new, but the reaction weakened the more times they saw the same faces. For the subjects considered to be shy, the two areas of the brain continued to react to the faces, whether they were new or being shown again. This failure to habituate soon makes them find meeting with new people uncomfortable and thus avoid new social experiences.
The way we are raised is also influential. Parents who are too anxious to protect children from being hurt, can make them unable to develop confident social skills. As we get older, we start to self-manage our behavior, leading them to what we feel comfortable with, which then creates a cycle of shyness.
Shyness isn’t a condition that necessarily needs to be specially treated. It’s quite OK to feel shy in certain situations and generally it doesn’t cause any real problems. However, if shyness does develop into something more-having a noticeable influence on quality of life-then this could be social anxiety, which should be taken seriously.
12. How does the author explain shyness in paragraph 2
A. By listing facts. B. By giving examples.
C By making comparison. D. By borrowing famous sayings.
13. What can be concluded about shy people from the study
A. They are not as smart as others.
B. They don’t react to strange faces.
C. They are slower to get used to new faces.
D. They develop deficits in the brain after birth.
14. Which is a good parenting style according to paragraph 4
A. Not being too overprotective of children.
B. Not punishing children for making mistakes.
C. Teaching children self-management earlier.
D. Helping children to create a circle of shyness.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To encourage a social skill.
B. To introduce a science study.
C. To publicize a human quality.
D. To suggest a parenting method.

Being bored is no fun, especially at work.

In a study, 52 participants were given a boring task of sorting (分类) red and green beans for 30 minutes, ____37____ another group of 49 participants was asked to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue.

The kids in Ms. Ryder’s art group all gathered round. “Our school’s welcome sign looks old and faded,” Ms Ryder pointed up at the old wall painting. “It’s our turn to do something new and bright. Let’s collect some ideas.”
The children started to think. “Let’s just make a new welcome sign in bright colors,” Ella beamed. Ms Ryder smiled, “Nice idea, but I was thinking that we could paint a big picture about all our children, something a bit more special.”
“A giant heart with all our names on it, ”Sara said. “Sports,” Tiger joined in. “We do lots of sports; let’s have a big picture with all kinds of sports.” “The Earth, with people all over it.” Mattie was thoughtful. But then Eliza joined in, “It’s a puzzle. How can we all join in and paint a picture. We’ve all got different ideas.”
Ms. Ryder smiled. “That’s it! We all have different ideas, but we all fit in together and want to paint a big picture. Let’s paint a big puzzle in the brightest colors!”
The next day, they set to work. They were ready to paint the giant jigsaw(拼图) puzzle. The puzzle was very big with lots of pieces, all the pieces fitted together, but there was space all around.
“For our names ”Carlos asked. “What a good idea, Carlos, for all our names, and for all the children in our school.” Ms. Ryder was having fun. Eliza smiled,“We all want our different kids in our puzzle. Red, blue and green; that’s not enough.”
Ms. Ryder agreed and the children learned to mix as many colors as the numbers of the kids at school. Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, brown. They learnt new colors, too-Apple Green, Sapphire Blue, Canary Yellow, Crimson Red. The children wanted as many colors as possible in their new picture.

A plan to thicken sea ice using water from the ocean below could offer mankind a final chance to save the disappearing sea ice. Field trials (实地试验) done this year in the Arctic have turned out to be successful, says UK start-up Real Ice.
Arctic sea ice cover is falling rapidly because of climate change. Many scientists expect the area to be ice-free in the summer in the 2030s, even if sharp cuts to emissions (排放) are made. The only way to save the area’s summer sea ice is to find a way to thicken the ice, some researchers say.
Real Ice’s solution includes making a hole through the ice, then drawing water up and onto the snow that sits atop the ice. The water would go in the snow and freeze (冻结), turning the snow into ice. This means the cold from the Arctic air would spread through it and result in the growth of more ice on the underside of the ice.
Working with the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, Real Ice has been doing field trials this year in Cambridge Bay on Victoria Island in Canada. The company says the trials have validated the idea, thickening the ice shelf by 50 centimeters compared with a control site between January and May.
The experiment also exhibited that the salty water left after the seawater freezes runs through the ice back into the ocean, rather than remaining on top of the ice, which would weaken the result of it.
But differences in attitude (态度) were obvious among scientists. Many are worried about the risk of unexpected results.
“I don’t think any of these ideas are practical,” says Julienne Stroeve at University College London. She raises worries about the plan’s energy (能源) requirements, as well as the influence that a loss of snow cover would have on animals such as polar bears and seals, which use snow to dig holes for their young. The only solution for saving Arctic ice is to cut emissions, she says.
8. What do some researchers think about the loss of sea ice in the Arctic
A. It has been worsened more rapidly recently.
B. The Arctic area will soon be free of sea ice.
C. Fruitful steps are being taken to hold it back.
D. Mankind has no choice but to thicken the ice.
9. What does the underlined word “validate” mean in paragraph 4
A. Supported. B. Accepted. C. Misunderstood. D. Refused.
10. What is Julienne Stroeve’s attitude to thickening sea ice
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Environment in the Arctic is Worrisome
B. The Plan to Refreeze Sea Ice Shows Promise
C. The Method of Cutting Emissions is Preferable
D. The Sea Ice Cover in the Arctic Disappears Rapidly

Going to parties, giving presentations, attending networking events...These social interactions are just part of normal (正常的) life for so many people, but for those who are shy, these interactions can feel more like challenges.
Shyness is a quality (品质) that is found in cultures around the world. It’s often grouped in with social anxiety or introversion (内向). But shyness isn’t in the same way that social anxiety is, and an introvert often prefers time alone. Shy people often want to be able to interact with others, but find themselves unable to do so.
There are facts suggesting that some people are born shyer than others. A study found there is a connection between shyness and deficits (缺陷) in two areas of the brain: the amygdala and hippocampus. Researchers watched the brains of the subjects while they were shown pictures of strange faces many times. For those considered to be not shy, these areas of the brain were set off when the faces were new, but the reaction weakened the more times they saw the same faces. For the subjects considered to be shy, the two areas of the brain continued to react to the faces, whether they were new or being shown again. This failure to habituate soon makes them find meeting with new people uncomfortable and thus avoid new social experiences.
The way we are raised is also influential. Parents who are too anxious to protect children from being hurt, can make them unable to develop confident social skills. As we get older, we start to self-manage our behavior, leading them to what we feel comfortable with, which then creates a cycle of shyness.
Shyness isn’t a condition that necessarily needs to be specially treated. It’s quite OK to feel shy in certain situations, and generally it doesn’t cause any real problems. However, if shyness does develop into something more-having a noticeable influence on quality of life-then this could be social anxiety, which should be taken seriously.
12. How does the author explain shyness in paragraph 2
A. By listing facts. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparison. D. By borrowing famous sayings.
13. What can be concluded about shy people from the study
A. They are not as smart as others.
B. They don’t react to strange faces.
C. They are slower to get used to new faces.
D. They develop deficits in the brain after birth.
14. Which is a good parenting style according to paragraph 4
A. Not being too overprotective of children.
B. Not punishing children for making mistakes.
C. Teaching children self-management earlier.
D. Helping children to create a circle of shyness.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To encourage a social skill.
B. To introduce a science study.
C. To publicize a human quality.
D. To suggest a parenting method.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. C

The kids in Ms. Ryder’s art group all gathered round. “Our school’s welcome sign looks old and faded” Ms Ryder pointed up at the old wall painting. “It’s our turn to do something new and bright. Let’s collect some ideas.”
The children started to think. “Let’s just make a new welcome sign in bright colors,” Ella beamed. Ms Ryder smiled, “Nice idea, but I was thinking that we could paint a big picture about all our children, something a bit more special.”
“A giant heart with all our names on it, ”Sara said. “Sports,” Tiger joined in. “We do lots of sports; let’s have a big picture with all kinds of sports.” “The Earth, with people all over it.” Mattie was thoughtful. But then Eliza joined in, “It’s a puzzle. How can we all join in and paint a picture. We’ve all got different ideas.”
Ms. Ryder smiled. “That’s it! We all have different ideas, but we all fit in together and want to paint a big picture. Let’s paint a big puzzle in the brightest colors!”
The next day, they set to work. They were ready to paint the giant jigsaw(拼图) puzzle. The puzzle was very big with lots of pieces, all the pieces fitted together, but there was space all around.
“For our names ”Carlos asked. “What a good idea, Carlos, for all our names, and for all the children in our school.” Ms. Ryder was having fun. Eliza smiled,“We all want our different kids in our puzzle. Red, blue and green; that’s not enough.”
Ms. Ryder agreed and the children learned to mix as many colors as the numbers of the kids at school. Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, brown. They learnt new colors, too-Apple Green, Sapphire Blue, Canary Yellow, Crimson Red. The children wanted as many colors as possible in their new picture.
