We have compromised their future. I’ve got three little grandchildren, and every time I look at them and I think how we’ve harmed this beautiful planet since I was their age, I feel this desperation. And that led to this program we call Roots and Shoots, which began right here in Tanzania and has now spread to 97 countries around the world.
Roots make a firm foundation. Shoots seem tiny. To reach the sun they can break through a brick wall. See the brick wall as all these problems we’ve suffered on the planet, environmental and social. It’s a message of hope. Hundreds and thousands of young people around the world can break through and can make this a better world for all living things.
The Roots and Shoots groups all choose three projects. It depends on how old they are, and which country, whether they’ re in a city or rural, as to what kinds of projects. But basically, we have programs now from preschool right through university, with more and more adults starting their own Roots and Shoots groups.
And every group chooses, between them, three different kinds of project to make this a better world, recognizing that all these different problems have an impact on each other.
So one of their projects will be to help their own human community. And then, if they’ re able, they may raise money to help communities in other parts of the world. One of their projects will be to help animals—not just wildlife, domestic animals as well. And one of their projects will be to help the environment that we all share. And woven throughout all of this is a message of learning to live in peace and harmony within ourselves, in our families, in our communities, between nations, between cultures, between religions and between us and the natural world. We need the natural world. We cannot go on destroying it at the rate we are. We not do have more than this one planet.
4. What inspired the author to start Roots and Shoots
A. An environmental conference. B. Concern for future generations.
C. An experience in her childhood. D. Passion for planet exploration.
5. What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A. To outline the history of Roots and Shoots.
B. To provide examples of the program’s projects.
C. To explain the symbolic meaning of Roots and Shoots.
D. To describe the environmental issues the world faces.
6. What can we learn about the projects
A. They are interconnected. B. They are funded by the government.
C. They are culture-specific. D. They are limited to wildlife protection.
7. Where is this text most likely taken from
A. A book review. B. A speech.
C. A travel journal. D. A guidebook.
C
Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more frequently, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment. The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report in August believed—wrongly—that washing less frequently would not affect the planet. One in 10 feel pressure to do laundry more frequently.
The report also found that 75% of participants in recent studies mentioned fear of judgment from others for wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row. Model and environmental activist Lily Cole, who will chair a panel discussion on the findings in London this week, said she had experienced this. “The attitude has changed in recent years, but I was in the sidebar of shame a few times for wearing the same look on the red carpet,” she said.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics(ONS)showed the number of wash loads in the UK increased by 9.6% from 6.2bn to 6.8bn between 2005 and 2014. By 2016, the ONS estimated that each household was responsible for 260 wash loads a year. Pollution from detergent (洗涤剂) causes serious risks to natural ecosystems. Changes to the materials used to make modern clothes have exacerbated the problem—washing clothes made from man-made fabrics accounts for about 8% of the microplastics released into our water.
Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said: “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”
8. What do we know about the report from paragraph 1 and 2
A. It highlights the health benefits of doing laundry.
B. Falmouth University conducted it alone.
C. It reveals how social pressure affects laundry habits.
D. 18% of Britons were surveyed in it.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 3
A. Eased. B. Solved. C. Delayed. D. Worsened.
10. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragragh
A. Cleanliness is a personal choice. B. People naturally prefer clean clothes.
C. Views on cleanliness haven’t changed. D. We are misled about perfect cleanliness.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the article
A. Clean Clothes: A Reflection of Success
B. The Role of Advertising in Laundry Habits
C. Laundry Trends and the Rise of Microplastics
D. Clean Clothes, Dirty Environment: Rethinking Laundry
D
When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be summoned onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates.
As our Science & technology section reports, digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, keep track of Uber’s network of vehicles and replicate Amazon’s extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to forecast sales several years ahead. They are helping local authorities respond to the effects of flooding and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes.
The idea of creating symbolic representations of real-world things is centuries old. Many ancient civilisations built architectural models, sometimes to place into tombs but also to work out bow to build things. Double-entry book-keeping, developed in the 15th century, was a paper-based representation of a merchant’s finances. The Phillips Machine, a hydraulic computer from the 1940s, created a physical “twin” of national economic flows.
Today’s digital twins extend this process, making it easier for humans to tackle complex problems. They can act as virtual crystal balls, allowing people to peer into the future, spot problems before they materialise and test wild ideas without real-world consequences. Digital twins offer the ultimate sandbox in which castles can be built and tested before being made real.
Could these virtual models go out of control They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will gather up mountains of data, some of it wrong, some of it prejudiced and much of it raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. There is also the danger of tunnel vision as humans rely more and more on digital twins—and miss things that sensors might not be able to capture. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all.
12. Which of the following best describes a digital twin
A. A toy model. B. A video game.
C. A virtual copy. D. A database.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Digital twins are a new concept in technology.
B. Symbolic representations have evolved over time.
C. The Phillips Machine is the earliest known model.
D. Symbolic representations of real-world vary in form.
14. How is a digital twin similar to a sandbox
A. They allow testing without real-world consequences.
B. They are mainly used for entertainment purposes.
C. They predict the future without relying on data.
D. They help identify problems only after they occur.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Digital twins are too risky to put into-market.
B. The risks are common across many technologies.
C. Digital twins can be applied if perfectly programmed.
D. Digital twins pose fewer threats than other technologies.

So, what does it take to be great I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. ___16___
Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. ___17___
Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated. ___18___ What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. The world is full of gifted failures, of “can’t miss kids” who missed. Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning the race to be great. ___19___ You have to work hard. push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in.
Ultimately, being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. ___20___ I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.
A. Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control.
B. But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish
C. Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness.
D. Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness.
E. You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness.
F. The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.
G. They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them.

There’s something about travelling by train, especially when it comes to finding ___26___ and being able to employ it ___27___. There are plenty of people to observe, which can help with something like ___28___ development, not to mention ___29___ environments that slide by outside your window, which can help with the ____30____. Sometimes, seeing just one small thing can stimulate creativity, and that’s exactly what I’m ____31____.
Travelling to Cambridge on a random afternoon, my train ____32____ a high bridge overlooking a village with the rolling fields. A little farther down, there’s a lone house enveloped in the trees. Straight away, my ____33____ starts running. I write thrillers, so I begin to wonder what kind of mystery I might be able to ____34____, set in a village inspired by the one I’d just now seen.

57. 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。
Oh no. Coach Cafferty just said my name—for the event. The one-kilometer bicycle race for the upcoming sports meeting! Not the event I had wished and practiced for so long!
Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip. Morgan, my best friend and fellow cyclist, pressed her elbow into my side, trying to offer some moral support. But even her encouragement didn’t help this time. My stomach felt like it was sinking into my knees, heavy and tense.
Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine. “Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe Coach Cafferty just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,” I thought desperately. I walked toward Coach Cafferty and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this event. She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted. I hesitated. She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible.
The first practice was a disaster. I misjudged my speed, my legs burned halfway through the lap, and I even had to stop to catch my breath. A kilometer had never felt so long. I felt like everyone was watching, maybe even laughing at my attempts, and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. How could I get this right in just two weeks But when I finally climbed off the bike, exhausted and frustrated, I spotted Coach Cafferty smiling at me. Even with only two weeks to prepare, I pushed myself to practice every single day. Each session, my legs felt a little stronger, and my speed improved bit by bit. Slowly, the kilometer didn’t seem as impossible as it had at first.
Finally, the big day came. The whistle blew, and we were off. I pushed down hard on the pedals, launching myself forward.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back.

We have compromised their future. I’ve got three little grandchildren, and every time I look at them and I think how we’ve harmed this beautiful planet since I was their age, I feel this desperation. And that led to this program we call Roots and Shoots, which began right here in Tanzania and has now spread to 97 countries around the world.
Roots make a firm foundation. Shoots seem tiny. To reach the sun they can break through a brick wall. See the brick wall as all these problems we’ve suffered on the planet, environmental and social. It’s a message of hope. Hundreds and thousands of young people around the world can break through and can make this a better world for all living things.
The Roots and Shoots groups all choose three projects. It depends on how old they are, and which country, whether they’ re in a city or rural, as to what kinds of projects. But basically, we have programs now from preschool right through university, with more and more adults starting their own Roots and Shoots groups.
And every group chooses, between them, three different kinds of project to make this a better world, recognizing that all these different problems have an impact on each other.
So one of their projects will be to help their own human community. And then, if they’ re able, they may raise money to help communities in other parts of the world. One of their projects will be to help animals—not just wildlife, domestic animals as well. And one of their projects will be to help the environment that we all share. And woven throughout all of this is a message of learning to live in peace and harmony within ourselves, in our families, in our communities, between nations, between cultures, between religions and between us and the natural world. We need the natural world. We cannot go on destroying it at the rate we are. We not do have more than this one planet.
4. What inspired the author to start Roots and Shoots
A. An environmental conference. B. Concern for future generations.
C. An experience in her childhood. D. Passion for planet exploration.
5. What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A. To outline the history of Roots and Shoots.

7. Where is this text most likely taken from

Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more frequently, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment. The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report in August believed—wrongly—that washing less frequently would not affect the planet. One in 10 feel pressure to do laundry more frequently.
The report also found that 75% of participants in recent studies mentioned fear of judgment from others for wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row. Model and environmental activist Lily Cole, who will chair a panel discussion on the findings in London this week, said she had experienced this. “The attitude has changed in recent years, but I was in the sidebar of shame a few times for wearing the same look on the red carpet,” she said.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics(ONS)showed the number of wash loads in the UK increased by 9.6% from 6.2bn to 6.8bn between 2005 and 2014. By 2016, the ONS estimated that each household was responsible for 260 wash loads a year. Pollution from detergent (洗涤剂) causes serious risks to natural ecosystems. Changes to the materials used to make modern clothes have exacerbated the problem—washing clothes made from man-made fabrics accounts for about 8% of the microplastics released into our water.
Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said: “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”
8. What do we know about the report from paragraph 1 and 2
A. It highlights the health benefits of doing laundry.
B. Falmouth University conducted it alone.
C. It reveals how social pressure affects laundry habits.
D. 18% of Britons were surveyed in it.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 3
A. Eased. B. Solved. C. Delayed. D. Worsened.
10. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragragh
A. Cleanliness is a personal choice. B. People naturally prefer clean clothes.
C. Views on cleanliness haven’t changed. D. We are misled about perfect cleanliness.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the article
A. Clean Clothes: A Reflection of Success
B. The Role of Advertising in Laundry Habits
C. Laundry Trends and the Rise of Microplastics
D. Clean Clothes, Dirty Environment: Rethinking Laundry
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. D

When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be summoned onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates.
As our Science & technology section reports, digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, keep track of Uber’s network of vehicles and replicate Amazon’s extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to forecast sales several years ahead. They are helping local authorities respond to the effects of flooding and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes.
The idea of creating symbolic representations of real-world things is centuries old. Many ancient civilisations built architectural models, sometimes to place into tombs but also to work out bow to build things. Double-entry book-keeping, developed in the 15th century, was a paper-based representation of a merchant’s finances. The Phillips Machine, a hydraulic computer from the 1940s, created a physical “twin” of national economic flows.
Today’s digital twins extend this process making it easier for humans to tackle complex problems. They can act as virtual crystal balls, allowing people to peer into the future, spot problems before they materialise and test wild ideas without real-world consequences. Digital twins offer the ultimate sandbox in which castles can be built and tested before being made real.
Could these virtual models go out of control They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will gather up mountains of data, some of it wrong, some of it prejudiced and much of it raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. There is also the danger of tunnel vision as humans rely more and more on digital twins—and miss things that sensors might not be able to capture. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all.
12. Which of the following best describes a digital twin
A. A toy model. B. A video game.
C. A virtual copy. D. A database.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Digital twins are a new concept in technology.
B. Symbolic representations have evolved over time.
C. The Phillips Machine is the earliest known model.
D. Symbolic representations of real-world vary in form.
14. How is a digital twin similar to a sandbox
A. They allow testing without real-world consequences.
B. They are mainly used for entertainment purposes.
C. They predict the future without relying on data.
D. They help identify problems only after they occur.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Digital twins are too risky to put into-market.
B. The risks are common across many technologies.
C. Digital twins can be applied if perfectly programmed.
D. Digital twins pose fewer threats than other technologies.

So, what does it take to be great I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. ___16___
Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. ___17___
Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated. ___18___ What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. The world is full of gifted failures, of “can’t miss kids” who missed. Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning the race to be great. ___19___ You have to work hard. push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in.
Ultimately being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. ___20___ I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.
A. Instead let it go and focus on what you can control.
B. But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish
C. Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness.
D. Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness.
E. You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness.
F. The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.
G. They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them.

Oh no. Coach Cafferty just said my name—for the event. The one-kilometer bicycle race for the upcoming sports meeting! Not the event I had wished and practiced for so long!
Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip. Morgan, my best friend and fellow cyclist, pressed her elbow into my side, trying to offer some moral support. But even her encouragement didn’t help this time. My stomach felt like it was sinking into my knees, heavy and tense.
Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine. “Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe Coach Cafferty just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,” I thought desperately. I walked toward Coach Cafferty and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this event. She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted. I hesitated. She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible.
The first practice was a disaster. I misjudged my speed, my legs burned halfway through the lap, and I even had to stop to catch my breath. A kilometer had never felt so long. I felt like everyone was watching, maybe even laughing at my attempts, and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. How could I get this right in just two weeks But when I finally climbed off the bike, exhausted and frustrated, I spotted Coach Cafferty smiling at me. Even with only two weeks to prepare, I pushed myself to practice every single day. Each session, my legs felt a little stronger, and my speed improved bit by bit. Slowly, the kilometer didn’t seem as impossible as it had at first.
Finally, the big day came. The whistle blew, and we were off. I pushed down hard on the pedals, launching myself forward.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Holding the trophy in my hand I heard someone call my name.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back. I gritted my teeth and pushed through the pain, remembering all the hard work and determination that had brought me to this point. The cheers from the crowd seemed to grow louder, giving me an unexpected boost of energy. I focused on my breathing, in and out, and kept my eyes fixed on the track ahead. As I rounded the final turn, I could see the finish line just a few meters away. With every last bit of strength, I sprinted toward it, crossing the line with a burst of speed. The moment I stopped, I was overwhelmed with a mix of relief and pride. I had done it—I had completed the one-kilometer race, and to my surprise, I had even managed to place among the top competitors.
Holding the trophy in my hand, I heard someone call my name. It was Coach Cafferty, her face beaming with pride. “You did it!” she exclaimed, giving me a warm and encouraging hug. “I knew you had it in you.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized how far I had come. Morgan rushed over, her arms wide open, and we embraced, both of us laughing and crying at the same time. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming, and I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I had the strength and perseverance to overcome them. This race had not only given me a trophy but also a newfound confidence and a belief in myself that would stay with me for years to come.

We have compromised their future. I’ve got three little grandchildren, and every time I look at them and I think how we’ve harmed this beautiful planet since I was their age, I feel this desperation. And that led to this program we call Roots and Shoots, which began right here in Tanzania and has now spread to 97 countries around the world.
Roots make a firm foundation. Shoots seem tiny. To reach the sun they can break through a brick wall. See the brick wall as all these problems we’ve suffered on the planet, environmental and social. It’s a message of hope. Hundreds and thousands of young people around the world can break through and can make this a better world for all living things.
The Roots and Shoots groups all choose three projects. It depends on how old they are, and which country, whether they’ re in a city or rural, as to what kinds of projects. But basically, we have programs now from preschool right through university, with more and more adults starting their own Roots and Shoots groups.
And every group chooses, between them, three different kinds of project to make this a better world, recognizing that all these different problems have an impact on each other.
So one of their projects will be to help their own human community. And then, if they’ re able, they may raise money to help communities in other parts of the world. One of their projects will be to help animals—not just wildlife, domestic animals as well. And one of their projects will be to help the environment that we all share. And woven throughout all of this is a message of learning to live in peace and harmony within ourselves, in our families, in our communities, between nations, between cultures, between religions and between us and the natural world. We need the natural world. We cannot go on destroying it at the rate we are. We not do have more than this one planet.
4. What inspired the author to start Roots and Shoots
A. An environmental conference. B. Concern for future generations.
C. An experience in her childhood. D. Passion for planet exploration.
5. What is the purpose of the second paragraph

Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more frequently, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment. The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report in August believed—wrongly—that washing less frequently would not affect the planet. One in 10 feel pressure to do laundry more frequently.
The report also found that 75% of participants in recent studies mentioned fear of judgment from others for wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row. Model and environmental activist Lily Cole, who will chair a panel discussion on the findings in London this week, said she had experienced this. “The attitude has changed in recent years, but I was in the sidebar of shame a few times for wearing the same look on the red carpet,” she said.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics(ONS)showed the number of wash loads in the UK increased by 9.6% from 6.2bn to 6.8bn between 2005 and 2014. By 2016, the ONS estimated that each household was responsible for 260 wash loads a year. Pollution from detergent (洗涤剂) causes serious risks to natural ecosystems. Changes to the materials used to make modern clothes have exacerbated the problem—washing clothes made from man-made fabrics accounts for about 8% of the microplastics released into our water.
Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said: “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”
8. What do we know about the report from paragraph 1 and 2
A. It highlights the health benefits of doing laundry.
B. Falmouth University conducted it alone.
C. It reveals how social pressure affects laundry habits.
D. 18% of Britons were surveyed in it.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 3
A. Eased. B. Solved. C. Delayed. D. Worsened.
10. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragragh
A. Cleanliness is a personal choice. B. People naturally prefer clean clothes.
C. Views on cleanliness haven’t changed. D. We are misled about perfect cleanliness.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the article
A. Clean Clothes: A Reflection of Success
B. The Role of Advertising in Laundry Habits
C. Laundry Trends and the Rise of Microplastics
D. Clean Clothes, Dirty Environment: Rethinking Laundry
D
When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be summoned onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates.
As our Science & technology section reports, digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, keep track of Uber’s network of vehicles and replicate Amazon’s extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to forecast sales several years ahead. They are helping local authorities respond to the effects of flooding and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes.
The idea of creating symbolic representations of real-world things is centuries old. Many ancient civilisations built architectural models, sometimes to place into tombs but also to work out bow to build things. Double-entry book-keeping, developed in the 15th century, was a paper-based representation of a merchant’s finances. The Phillips Machine, a hydraulic computer from the 1940s, created a physical “twin” of national economic flows.
Today’s digital twins extend this process, making it easier for humans to tackle complex problems. They can act as virtual crystal balls, allowing people to peer into the future, spot problems before they materialise and test wild ideas without real-world consequences. Digital twins offer the ultimate sandbox in which castles can be built and tested before being made real.
Could these virtual models go out of control They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will gather up mountains of data, some of it wrong, some of it prejudiced and much of it raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. There is also the danger of tunnel vision as humans rely more and more on digital twins—and miss things that sensors might not be able to capture. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all.
12. Which of the following best describes a digital twin
A. A toy model. B. A video game.
C. A virtual copy. D. A database.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Digital twins are a new concept in technology.
B. Symbolic representations have evolved over time.
C. The Phillips Machine is the earliest known model.
D. Symbolic representations of real-world vary in form.
14. How is a digital twin similar to a sandbox
A. They allow testing without real-world consequences.
B. They are mainly used for entertainment purposes.
C. They predict the future without relying on data.
D. They help identify problems only after they occur.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Digital twins are too risky to put into-market.
B. The risks are common across many technologies.
C. Digital twins can be applied if perfectly programmed.
D. Digital twins pose fewer threats than other technologies.

So, what does it take to be great I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. ___16___

Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated. ___18___ What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough.

Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning the race to be great. ___19___ You have to work hard. push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in.
Ultimately, being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. ___20___ I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.
A. Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control.
B. But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish

E. You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness.
F. The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.
G. They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them.

57. 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。
Oh no. Coach Cafferty just said my name—for the event. The one-kilometer bicycle race for the upcoming sports meeting! Not the event I had wished and practiced for so long!
Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip. Morgan, my best friend and fellow cyclist, pressed her elbow into my side, trying to offer some moral support. But even her encouragement didn’t help this time. My stomach felt like it was sinking into my knees, heavy and tense.
Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine. “Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe Coach Cafferty just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,” I thought desperately. I walked toward Coach Cafferty and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this event. She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted. I hesitated. She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible.
The first practice was a disaster. I misjudged my speed, my legs burned halfway through the lap, and I even had to stop to catch my breath. A kilometer had never felt so long. I felt like everyone was watching, maybe even laughing at my attempts, and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. How could I get this right in just two weeks But when I finally climbed off the bike, exhausted and frustrated, I spotted Coach Cafferty smiling at me. Even with only two weeks to prepare, I pushed myself to practice every single day. Each session, my legs felt a little stronger, and my speed improved bit by bit. Slowly, the kilometer didn’t seem as impossible as it had at first.
Finally, the big day came. The whistle blew, and we were off. I pushed down hard on the pedals, launching myself forward.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back.

From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”

A. It highlights the health benefits of doing laundry.
B. Falmouth University conducted it alone.

D. 18% of Britons were surveyed in it.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in paragraph 3
A. Eased. B. Solved. C. Delayed. D. Worsened.
10. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragragh
A. Cleanliness is a personal choice. B. People naturally prefer clean clothes.

When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be summoned onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates.
As our Science & technology section reports, digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. Among other things, they monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, keep track of Uber’s network of vehicles and replicate Amazon’s extensive supply chain well enough for the online retailer to forecast sales several years ahead. They are helping local authorities respond to the effects of flooding and letting carmakers shave years off the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes.
The idea of creating symbolic representations of real-world things is centuries old. Many ancient civilisations built architectural models, sometimes to place into tombs but also to work out bow to build things. Double-entry book-keeping, developed in the 15th century, was a paper-based representation of a merchant’s finances. The Phillips Machine, a hydraulic computer from the 1940s, created a physical “twin” of national economic flows.
Today’s digital twins extend this process making it easier for humans to tackle complex problems. They can act as virtual crystal balls, allowing people to peer into the future, spot problems before they materialise and test wild ideas without real-world consequences. Digital twins offer the ultimate sandbox in which castles can be built and tested before being made real.
Could these virtual models go out of control They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will gather up mountains of data, some of it wrong, some of it prejudiced and much of it raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. There is also the danger of tunnel vision as humans rely more and more on digital twins—and miss things that sensors might not be able to capture. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all.
12. Which of the following best describes a digital twin
A. A toy model. B. A video game.
C. A virtual copy. D. A database.
13. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Digital twins are a new concept in technology.
B. Symbolic representations have evolved over time.
C. The Phillips Machine is the earliest known model.
D. Symbolic representations of real-world vary in form.
14. How is a digital twin similar to a sandbox
A. They allow testing without real-world consequences.
B. They are mainly used for entertainment purposes.
C. They predict the future without relying on data.
D. They help identify problems only after they occur.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Digital twins are too risky to put into-market.
B. The risks are common across many technologies.
C. Digital twins can be applied if perfectly programmed.
D. Digital twins pose fewer threats than other technologies.

Ultimately being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. ___20___ I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.
A. Instead let it go and focus on what you can control.
B. But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish

E. You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness.
F. The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.

57. 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。
Oh no. Coach Cafferty just said my name—for the event. The one-kilometer bicycle race for the upcoming sports meeting! Not the event I had wished and practiced for so long!
Beads of sweat popped out over my upper lip. Morgan, my best friend and fellow cyclist, pressed her elbow into my side, trying to offer some moral support. But even her encouragement didn’t help this time. My stomach felt like it was sinking into my knees, heavy and tense.
Morgan tried to convince me it would be fine. “Maybe Coach has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe Coach Cafferty just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,” I thought desperately. I walked toward Coach Cafferty and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this event. She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted. I hesitated. She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible.
The first practice was a disaster. I misjudged my speed, my legs burned halfway through the lap, and I even had to stop to catch my breath. A kilometer had never felt so long. I felt like everyone was watching, maybe even laughing at my attempts, and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. How could I get this right in just two weeks But when I finally climbed off the bike, exhausted and frustrated, I spotted Coach Cafferty smiling at me. Even with only two weeks to prepare, I pushed myself to practice every single day. Each session, my legs felt a little stronger, and my speed improved bit by bit. Slowly, the kilometer didn’t seem as impossible as it had at first.
Finally, the big day came. The whistle blew, and we were off. I pushed down hard on the pedals, launching myself forward.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Holding the trophy in my hand I heard someone call my name.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My legs felt strong at first, but halfway the familiar burn came back. I gritted my teeth and pushed through the pain, remembering all the hard work and determination that had brought me to this point. The cheers from the crowd seemed to grow louder, giving me an unexpected boost of energy. I focused on my breathing, in and out, and kept my eyes fixed on the track ahead. As I rounded the final turn, I could see the finish line just a few meters away. With every last bit of strength, I sprinted toward it, crossing the line with a burst of speed. The moment I stopped, I was overwhelmed with a mix of relief and pride. I had done it—I had completed the one-kilometer race, and to my surprise, I had even managed to place among the top competitors.
Holding the trophy in my hand, I heard someone call my name. It was Coach Cafferty, her face beaming with pride. “You did it!” she exclaimed, giving me a warm and encouraging hug. “I knew you had it in you.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized how far I had come. Morgan rushed over, her arms wide open, and we embraced, both of us laughing and crying at the same time. The sense of accomplishment was overwhelming, and I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I had the strength and perseverance to overcome them. This race had not only given me a trophy but also a newfound confidence and a belief in myself that would stay with me for years to come.
