As a child, Mateo DeLa Rocha dreamed of working as a garbage man. In his home city, trash piles were everywhere. The local sanitation worker was the only person cleaning up the pollution.
DeLa Rocha’s family later moved to the United States. Now as a high school senior, he has found a unique way to tackle pollution： Along with two friends, he raised $11, 000 to plug an abandoned oil well in Ohio that was leaking gas close to a barn on a horse farm.
As many as 3. 9 million abandoned and aging oil and gas wells are spread across the U. S. , according to the Environmental Protection Agency （EPA）, and at least 126, 000 of these wells are "orphans". This means there is no owner or company to be held responsible for them.
The EPA estimates that abandoned wells collectively released 303. 000 tonnes of methane in 2022. That’s roughly equivalent. to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 23 gas-burning power plants.
After completing his AP Environmental Science class, DeLa Rocha realized the issue of abandoned wells was something for which individuals could potentially make a difference. He then invited two classmates, Sebastian Ng and Lila Gisondi, to join him.
"When Mateo approached me about this, I looked into these methane wells and what we could do about them," Ng said. "It kind of flipped a switch." Previously, he had felt helpless about climate change but would simply joke about the world ending.
For Gisondi, talking with her friends about these methane-emitting wells brought climate change from the back of her mind to the forefront. "It was something that I felt I could actually help with," she said.
After more research, the trio connected with The Well Done Foundation （WDF）, a nonprofit organization specializing in plugging orphaned wells. The organization was founded by Curtis Shuck, a veteran of the oil and gas industry. Since 2019, his organization has surveyed more than 1, 700 abandoned wells nationwide and plugged 44 of what they identified as the most problematic ones.
On May 23, contractors poured the cement to plug the orphaned well in Ohio. With the initial success, DeLa Rocha, Ng and Gisondi are now more confident about the future of their cause.
4． What inspired DeLa Rocha’s interest in environmental issues initially
A.The Well Done Foundation’s work.
B.His AP Environmental Science class.
C.The pollution and lack of help to address in hometown.
D.His family’s move to America.
5． Plugging abandoned oil wells can help to fight climate change because it ____________.
A.stops methane from leaking into the atmosphere
B.prevents pollution of nearby farms
C.helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions
D.encourages oil companies to manage their wells responsibly
6． Del. a Rocha’s proposal made his friends feel ____________.
A.disappointed with environmental organizations
B.uncertain about their ability to make a difference
C.motivated to continue their environmental studies
D.confident about their personal impact on climate change
7． What does the passage mainly talk about
A.DeLa Rocha’s childhood dream.
B.Three teens’ unique solution to climate change.
C.The impact of U. S. environmental organizations.
D.Oil companies’ approach to managing abandoned oil wells.
Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought. This discovery has changed what we know of human history.
The skull, which scientists have named "Mrs Ples", is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus （南方古猿）. It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and, based on evidence from its surroundings, was thought to be between 2. 1 and 2. 6 million years old. This puzzled scientists, because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans, the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived. For this reason, scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis, a similar species from East Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago, was our most likely ancestor instead.
To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples, a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana, US, used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay. They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays （宇宙射线） on Earth’s surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear；the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock （or bones） were on the surface.
The new study shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 million years old. This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives, so that either group could have given rise to modern humans. However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.
8． What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the first two paragraphs
A.It is a skull found in East Africa.
B.It is the most possible ancestor of humans.
C.It is a million years older than scientists expected.
D.It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.
9． How did scientists get the accurate age of "Mrs Ples"
A.By studying the effect of cosmic rays.
B.By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.
C.By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.
D.By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.
10． What can we infer from the new study
A.Modern humans came into being in East Africa.
B.Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.
C.The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.
D.Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.
11． Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A.Historical Puzzle Unsolved
B.Ancestor Mystery Solved
C.Mrs Ples： The Earliest Human Being
D.Mrs Ples： A Famous Skull
In an empty parking lot, a car "thinks" it is on a real road. Researchers at the Ohio State University have developed new software to aid in the development, evaluation and demonstration of safer driverless vehicles. Called the Vehicle-in-Virtual-Environment （VVE） method, it allows the testing of driverless cars in a perfectly safe environment, said Bilin Aksun-Guvene, co-author of the study and a professor of Ohio State.
Although autonomous driving technologies have become a much more common sight on the road in the last few years, due to the increasing number of accidents these systems have caused. the way these technologies are tested deserves closer observation.
Current approaches for demonstrating autonomous vehicle functions involve testing software and technology first in simulations （模拟） and then on public roads. Yet this method essentially turns other road users into involuntary participants in these driving experiments. Such risks can make the entire development process costly, inefficient, and potentially unsafe for both drivers and pedestrians （行人） alike.
To overcome the limitations of these faulty assessments, researchers in this study equipped a real vehicle with simulated data to connect its controls to a highly realistic 3D environment. much like giving the machine a VR headset or virtual reality glasses. After feeding the data to the driving system’s computers and syncing （同步） the car’s real motions with the simulations’, researchers were able to show that it behaves as if the virtual environment were its true surroundings in real time.
But what makes their software especially powerful, said Aksun-Guvenc, is the strength of how flexible their virtual environment can be. “When actual senses are replaced by virtual senses, the model can be easily changed to fit any kind of scenario,” said Guvenc.
"We could see this technology becoming an important product in the industry in the next 5 or 10 years. That’s why we’re focusing on building more applications for it." Guvene added.
12． What can we say about autonomous driving
A.It is free of dangers.
B.It definitely has a long way to go.
C.Its safety testing matters.
D.Its technology is mature.
13． What are the features of VVE method
A.Safe and real.
B.Easy and cheap.
C.Costly and inefficient.
D.Tough and complicated.
14． What does the underlined word "scenario" in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Strategy.
B.Experiment.
C.Revision.
D.Situation.
15． What is the best title for the text
A.Overcoming the Limitations of Autonomous Driving
B.Testing Real Driverless Cars in a Virtual Environment
C.Making Autonomous Driving More Common on the Road
D.Focusing on Building More Applications for Driverless Cars

FOMO stands for “fear of missing out”. It refers to that the nervous or anxious feeling a person gets when they realize they are not attending a social event either because they weren’t invited or they just didn’t feel like going. ① This belief, in turn, can create anxiety and a sense of inferiority. FOMO bothers most teens, especially if they9re often online.
One effective way for teens to deal with FOMO is to practice what is known as re-framing(重塑) thinking. ② Here are some tips on how teens can start to reframe their thinking.
Track negative thoughts and replace them with reasonable ones. One thing teens can do to deal with FOMO is to track their negative thoughts and feelings in a journal. ③ Then, they can change their thoughts and replace the negative thoughts with something positive.
④ Encourage teens to recognize that they have limited time and cannot possibly be everywhere and do everything. So, naturally, there will be social events that they cannot attend. But this does not mean that they’re necessarily missing out on something.
Turning off the technology. This seems like a natural cure for FOMO. But just switching the phone off does not erase the feelings that FOMO causes. ⑤ The key is to do something else entirely like reading a book or baking cookies-anything that allows them to focus on something other than social media.
A. Be realistic about availability.
B. There are some negative consequences of FOMO.
C. Realize that no one lives a perfect life as described on social media.
D. It’s a mental exercise designed to help them look at situations differently.
E. In general, FOMO causes people to assume that they have a low social rank.
F. Teens may still worry about missing out even if they9re not on social media at all.
G. This allows them to observe how often they5re feeling negative about themselves.

Training was brutal, as Penny Lee Dean prepared for what would be a record-setting swim ― regardless of sex ― across the English Channel in 1978. "Your hands cramp, your legs cramp," she remembers.
While the cold was bone-chilling, 1 it has been essential to her success as a record-breaking swimmer. An ability to tolerate extreme 2 is one of the advantages that women may have in this sport, as their distribution of fat is 3 for regulating body temperature in cold water.
Dean believes that any upper hand women might have in open-water swimming over a long 4 is more about mental 5 and the ability to withstand discomfort than about insulation (阻隔). In the ultradistance 6 , the ability to juggle more factors, from weather to pain, becomes particularly important.
In fact, women can outperform or perform 7 to men in a range of competitive events. From ultrarunning to shooting sports, in some competitions women even have the 8 .
Cassio Rippel, the ISSF Athletes Committee Chair, says that while men’s muscles 9 give them more endurance, women’s lower body mass and lower center of 10 , on average, allow them better equilibrium (平衡) control. The rifle events are the most sex-balanced of the three types of shooting events in the Olympics, according to Rippel.
The Paris Olympics are the first Olympics to have equal numbers of female 11 . This is also an opportunity to 12 what gaps in inclusion are still in existence. While much of the science of sex and
performance may be 13 , one thing that’s crystal clear is that more research needs to involve women.
The 14 toward greater inclusion has not been straight, and more questions than answers 15 about the role of sex in athletic performance.

Traveling to China as a foreigner isn’t the simplest affair. Visa applications can be complicated, and navigating (穿梭) this highly automated society with① (it) own digital ecosystem can be frightening.
But things may be changing. China has been making efforts to attract international travelers by introducing more② (welcome) policies. The country now offers visa exemptions (免签) for dozens of nationalities, as well as③ 144-hour visa-free transit (运输) policy at a growing number of ports of entry.
Meanwhile, mobile wallet giants like Alipay and WeChat have made their apps and online④ (pay) more foreigner-friendly by simplifying their lengthy set-up processes⑤ accepting international credit cards.
Hotels and attractions are also being asked to accept international credit cards,⑥ are not popular
among traders in China. Some cities like Beijing have launched all-in-one⑦ (pass) that allow travelers to pay for things like attraction admissions and public transit⑧ (electronic).
These measures seem to be working. China welcomed about 14 million foreign visitors in the first half of 2024, a 152.7% increase from 2023. The number is still a long way off from 2019 figures, but some in the industry feel⑨ (encourage).
“Thanks to the new 15-day visa-free policy for some countries, we⑩ (see) an increase of tourists from those countries over the past few months,” says Denny Tian, a travel specialist and manager at The China Guide.

Knock-knock-knock. "Hello " I called timidly through my cousin Anita’ s bedroom door. No answer. There’s no way she forgot I was moving in today, right I thought. "Anita It’s me, Norah！ " I called again.
I had only met my cousin once a couple of years ago when Anita and Aunt Sonam had flown to California to visit. Mom had hoped Anita and I would be friends. But all Anita wanted to talk about was soccer, which was practically a foreign language to me. Secretly, I had felt relieved when the visit was over.
Now, I was standing in my aunt’s tiny apartment in New York City, and there was still no answer from Anita. I knocked again, a little louder this time. Finally, Anita opened the door. She apologized, saying she had been listening to music. But instead of inviting me in, Anita frowned at my massive suitcase.
Behind her, I could see a blue beanbag chair crowded next to a bunk bed（上下铺）. In my old room in California, I’d had a double bed all to myself, and my original artwork had covered all the walls. Anita’s walls, on the other hand, were covered with posters of the U. S. women’s soccer team. I didn’t see any free space to hang anything else.
"C-can I come in " I asked, blushing. Anita nodded, but she barely moved. I had no choice but to squeeze by her into the room. I put my stuff against the wall and Anita started bouncing the soccer ball from her foot to her knee and back again. Suddenly, her foot kicked the ball at an odd angle, and it accidentally flew toward me. "Whoops！ " Anita called. "Think fast！ "
But I was still taking in the surroundings, so the ball caught me off guard and bounced off my shoulder. Forcing a smile, I pretended it didn’t bother me. Unsure of what to do, I took out my sketchbook（素描本） and colored pencils and sat down. Just holding my sketchbook made me feel more at ease. I started sketching aimlessly while Anita went back to bounce her ball.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I could draw Anita in action.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Anita studied the drawing carefully.

参考答案
1．答案： D
解析： 理解具体信息。根据文中的"Registration begins June 1, 2023—register for minimum two weeks. Fees： $75 registration fee. $795 per week"可知,参加夏令营最少要两周,所以最低的费用为75+795×2=1665（美元）,故D项正确。
2．答案： B
解析： 理解具体信息根据"Camp Content"部分中的"Science and Technology camp above all emphasizes entertainment while teaching students about how websites are designed... and how to build your own hydraulic system"可知,该夏令营强调寓教于乐,故B项正确。
3．答案： C
解析： 理解具体信息根据"Camp Personnel"部分中的"The camp is headed by the husband-and-wife team of Doctors James and Sophie Clark"可知,这个夏令营是由一对夫妇负责的,故C项正确。head在此作动词,意为"领导,主管"。
4．答案： C
解析： 文章开头提到"As a child, Mateo DeLa Rocha dreamed of working as a garbage man. In his home city, trash piles were everywhere. The local sanitation worker was the only person cleaning up the pollution.",小时候家乡到处是垃圾堆,只有环卫工人清理污染,这种污染以及缺乏帮助解决污染问题的状况最初激发了他对环境问题的兴趣,A选项"The Well Done Foundation’s work"是后续他们参与活动联系的组织,不是最初的启发；B选项"His AP Environmental Science class"是后来让他意识到废弃油井问题可由个人发挥作用的契机；D选项"His family’s move to America"只是家庭情况的变化,并非激发他对环境问题兴趣的原因,所以选择C。
5．答案： A
解析： 文中提到"The EPA estimates that abandoned wells collectively released 303, 000 tonnes of methane in 2022. That’s roughly equivalent to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 23 gas-burning power plants.",说明废弃油井会释放大量甲烷,堵塞废弃油井能够阻止甲烷泄漏到大气中,从而有助于应对气候变化,B选项"防止附近农场污染"不是其应对气候变化的主要原因；C选项"帮助减少二氧化碳排放",重点在于阻止甲烷泄漏,而非直接减少二氧化碳排放；D选项"鼓励石油公司负责任地管理油井"不是堵塞废弃油井应对气候变化的直接原因,所以选择A。
6．答案： D
解析： 根据文中"Ng said. ‘It kind of flipped a switch.’Previously, he had felt helpless about climate change but would simply joke about the world ending."以及"For Gisondi, talking with her friends about these methane-emitting wells brought climate change from the back of her mind to the forefront. ‘It was something that I felt I could actually help with,’she said."可知,DeLa Rocha的提议让他的朋友们从对气候变化感到无助转变为觉得自己能够有所作为,对自己在气候变化方面能产生的个人影响有了信心,A选项"对环保组织失望"文中未体现；B选项"不确定自己能否有所作为"不符合他们后来的感受；C选项"有动力继续环境研究"不是主要体现的感受,所以选择D。
7．答案： B
解析： 文章主要讲述了Mateo DeLa Rocha和他的两个朋友一起筹集资金堵塞俄亥俄州废弃油井来应对气候变化这一独特做法,A选项"DeLa Rocha的童年梦想"只是开头引入,不是主要内容；C选项"美国环保组织的影响"只是涉及到他们联系的The Well Done Foundation,并非主要讲述内容；D选项"石油公司管理废弃油井的方法"不是文章重点,所以选择B,主要讲的是三个青少年应对气候变化的独特办法。
8．答案： C
解析： 根据第一段"Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought."可知,"Mrs Ples"这个头骨比科学家们预想的要早一百万年,所以选择C选项。A选项,文中明确提到是在南非发现的,而非东非,错误；B选项,之前科学家认为Australopithecus afarensis是最有可能的人类祖先,并非"Mrs Ples",错误；D选项,原来认为它生活在2.1到2.6百万年前,而新研究推翻了这一结论,错误。
9．答案： D
解析： 从文中"They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays （宇宙射线） on Earth’s surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear；the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock （or bones） were on the surface."可知,科学家们是通过测量岩石中残留化学物质的量来确定"Mrs Ples"的准确年龄的,所以选择D选项。A选项"研究宇宙射线的影响"不是直接确定年龄的方式；B选项"计算化学物质的形成速率"不准确,重点是测量残留量；C选项"定位头骨所在的沙岩"只是前期的一个步骤,不是确定年龄的关键做法。
10．答案： D
解析： 根据最后一段"However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans."可以推断出,来自非洲的类猿物种可能相互之间有交流互动,所以选择D选项。A选项"现代人类在东非形成"文中并没有明确表明；B选项"Mrs Ples与东非亲属旅行并生育后代"只是一种可能性的推测,不是确定的推断；C选项"现代人类的历史可能始于350万年前"比较片面,新研究只是表明相关物种生活的时间,不能就此确定人类历史开始的时间。
11．答案： B
解析： 文章开篇就提到科学家解决了一个关于现代人类的谜题,围绕"Mrs Ples"这个头骨的新研究改变了人们对人类历史的认知,解开了祖先相关的谜团,所以"Ancestor Mystery Solved"（祖先之谜被解开）作为标题最合适,选择B选项。A选项"历史谜题未解"与文意不符；C选项"Mrs Ples：最早的人类"不准确,文章未表明它是最早人类；D选项"Mrs Ples：一个著名的头骨"没有体现出文章重点是关于人类祖先谜团的解开这一核心内容。
12．答案： C
解析： 根据第二段"Although autonomous driving technologies have become a much more common sight on the road in the last few years, due to the increasing number of accidents these systems have caused, the way these technologies are tested deserves closer observation."可知,尽管自动驾驶技术越发常见,但因其引发的事故增多,其安全测试很重要,值得更密切关注,所以选择C选项。A选项"它没有危险"与文中提到出现事故不符；B选项"它肯定还有很长的路要走"文中未着重体现这一意思；D选项"它的技术成熟"也不符合文中因事故凸显出测试等方面还有问题的情况。
13．答案： A
解析： 从文中"Called the Vehicle-in-Virtual-Environment （VVE） method, it allows the testing of driverless cars in a perfectly safe environment"以及后文对其具体操作及优势的描述可知,VVE方法的特点是安全（Safe）且能营造出较为真实的环境让无人驾驶汽车进行测试,也就是具有真实感（real）,所以选择A选项。B选项"简单且便宜"文中未提及；C选项"昂贵且低效"是当前测试方法存在的问题,不是VVE方法的特点；D选项"艰难且复杂"不符合对VVE方法的描述。
14．答案： D
解析： 根据前文"When actual senses are replaced by virtual senses, the model can be easily changed to fit any kind of scenario",当实际感官被虚拟感官替代时,模型能轻易改变以适应任何一种情景（situation）,这里"scenario"表达的就是类似"情况、情景"的意思,所以选择D选项。A选项"策略"、B选项"实验"、C选项"修订"都不符合此处语境。
15．答案： B
解析： 文章开篇介绍了俄亥俄州立大学研究人员开发的新软件VVE方法,接着阐述了其能在安全的虚拟环境中对无人驾驶汽车进行测试以及该方法的优势等内容,重点围绕在虚拟环境中测试真实无人驾驶汽车这一主题展开,所以"Testing Real Driverless Cars in a Virtual Environment"（在虚拟环境中测试真实无人驾驶汽车）作为标题最合适,选择B选项。A选项"克服自动驾驶的局限"比较宽泛,没有突出测试这一关键内容；C选项"让自动驾驶在路上更常见"不是文章重点；D选项"专注于为无人驾驶汽车构建更多应用"只是文末提及的一部分内容,不能概括全文主旨。
16．答案： E； D； G； A； F
解析： 本文主要介绍心理学现象"错失恐惧症（Fear of Missing Out）"以及针对FOMO提出的建议。
①E上一句介绍了FOMO的具体含义,下一句说这种看法反过来又会产生焦虑和自卑情绪；由此可知,空处应该说的是某种看法,且与FOMO有关；结合选项可知,E项"通常来说,FOMO 导致人们认为他们社会地位低下"符合语境。"认为他们社会地位低下"是产生焦虑和自卑情绪的原因。
②D上一句提到青少年应对FOMO的方法是重塑观念,接下来应该是介绍什么是重塑观念。结合选项可知,D项符合语境,选项中的"It"指代上一句中的"reframing（重塑）thinking"。
③G上一句说青少年可以在日记中跟踪自己的消极想法及感受,下一句说然后他们就可以改变他们的观念,用积极的事物替代消极观念,空处应该讲此种方法的作用,故G项切题。"This"指代上一句中的"to track their negative thoughts and feelings in a journal","them"指代上一句中的"teens"。
④A本段提到要鼓励青少年认识到他们时间有限,不能出席一些社交活动是很自然的事情, 由此可以概括出本段的主旨,即要现实地看待参加社交活动的问题,所以A选项符合语境。选项中的"availability"在这里可以理解为参加社交活动的可行性。
⑤F上一句说关掉手机并不能消除FOMO导致的情绪,空处应该是介绍青少年不接触社交媒体后的情况,F项"即使青少年根本不在社交媒体上,他们仍然可能担心错过"符合语境,同时为下一句介绍消除FOMO的关键做好铺垫。
17．答案： C
解析： 根据前文"While the cold was bone-chilling"以及后文"it has been essential to her success as a record-breaking swimmer"可知,尽管寒冷刺骨,但克服（conquering）寒冷对她作为破纪录游泳运动员的成功至关重要,所以选择C选项。A选项"挣扎"、B选项"平衡"、D选项"拥抱"都不符合此处表达克服寒冷取得成功的语境。
18．答案： A
解析： 根据前文提到的"the cold"以及后文"in cold water"等内容可知,此处说的是忍受极端寒冷（cold）的能力,所以选择A选项。B选项"冻结"是一种状态,不是此处所指的忍受的对象；C选项"霜"、D选项"薄雾"都不符合语境。
19．答案： A
解析： 根据"their distribution of fat is...for regulating body temperature in cold water"可知,女性的脂肪分布对在冷水中调节体温是有益的（beneficial）,所以选择A选项。B选项"有害的"与文意相悖；C选项"至关重要的"程度上不太符合此处只是说对调节体温有益这一描述；D选项"不相关的"不符合语境。
20．答案： B
解析： 根据后文"In the ultradistance..."可知,此处说的是在长距离（distance）公开水域游泳中女性可能有的优势,所以选择B选项。A选项"持续时间"、C选项"海峡"、D选项"努力"都不符合此处表达长距离游泳的语境。
21．答案： B

34．答案：
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I could draw Anita in action. Quickly turning to a blank page, I broadly outlined the shape of my cousin bouncing the soccer ball. My spirits rose with each new line I drew. It was true that I didn’t enjoy playing sports, but I was really enjoying the challenge of trying to sketch my cousin in action！ Although it was my first attempt at something like this, I was pleased with the way I’d captured the energy of Anita’s movements. As I was examining my drawing, I didn’t notice the soccer ball was no longer bouncing. I glanced up to see Anita curiously eyeing my drawing. Nervously, I handed the sketchbook to her.
Anita studied the drawing carefully. I resisted the urge to grab the sketchbook and hide. She must think it was totally weird. However, Anita said it was awesome and asked if she could have it. Before I could respond, she had already ripped the drawing out of the sketchbook. Then Anita rummaged through a drawer for a tape, saying that she wasn’t really into art, but thought the drawing should definitely be on display in "our room". After taping the drawing over one of her posters, Anita said a few changes needed to be made around the room if I was moving in. With a broad smile, I picked up Anita’s soccer ball and tossed it toward my new roommate. "Think fast！ "

As a child, Mateo DeLa Rocha dreamed of working as a garbage man. In his home city, trash piles were everywhere. The local sanitation worker was the only person cleaning up the pollution.
DeLa Rocha’s family later moved to the United States. Now as a high school senior, he has found a unique way to tackle pollution： Along with two friends, he raised $11, 000 to plug an abandoned oil well in Ohio that was leaking gas close to a barn on a horse farm.
As many as 3. 9 million abandoned and aging oil and gas wells are spread across the U. S. , according to the Environmental Protection Agency （EPA）, and at least 126, 000 of these wells are "orphans". This means there is no owner or company to be held responsible for them.
The EPA estimates that abandoned wells collectively released 303. 000 tonnes of methane in 2022. That’s roughly equivalent. to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 23 gas-burning power plants.
After completing his AP Environmental Science class, DeLa Rocha realized the issue of abandoned wells was something for which individuals could potentially make a difference. He then invited two classmates, Sebastian Ng and Lila Gisondi, to join him.
"When Mateo approached me about this, I looked into these methane wells and what we could do about them," Ng said. "It kind of flipped a switch." Previously, he had felt helpless about climate change but would simply joke about the world ending.
For Gisondi, talking with her friends about these methane-emitting wells brought climate change from the back of her mind to the forefront. "It was something that I felt I could actually help with," she said.
After more research, the trio connected with The Well Done Foundation （WDF）, a nonprofit organization specializing in plugging orphaned wells. The organization was founded by Curtis Shuck, a veteran of the oil and gas industry. Since 2019, his organization has surveyed more than 1, 700 abandoned wells nationwide and plugged 44 of what they identified as the most problematic ones.
On May 23, contractors poured the cement to plug the orphaned well in Ohio. With the initial success, DeLa Rocha, Ng and Gisondi are now more confident about the future of their cause.
4． What inspired DeLa Rocha’s interest in environmental issues initially
A.The Well Done Foundation’s work.
B.His AP Environmental Science class.
C.The pollution and lack of help to address in hometown.
D.His family’s move to America.
5． Plugging abandoned oil wells can help to fight climate change because it ____________.
A.stops methane from leaking into the atmosphere
B.prevents pollution of nearby farms
C.helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions
D.encourages oil companies to manage their wells responsibly
6． Del. a Rocha’s proposal made his friends feel ____________.
A.disappointed with environmental organizations
B.uncertain about their ability to make a difference
C.motivated to continue their environmental studies
D.confident about their personal impact on climate change
7． What does the passage mainly talk about
A.DeLa Rocha’s childhood dream.
B.Three teens’ unique solution to climate change.
C.The impact of U. S. environmental organizations.
D.Oil companies’ approach to managing abandoned oil wells.
Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought. This discovery has changed what we know of human history.
The skull, which scientists have named "Mrs Ples", is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus （南方古猿）. It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and, based on evidence from its surroundings, was thought to be between 2. 1 and 2. 6 million years old. This puzzled scientists, because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans, the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived. For this reason, scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis, a similar species from East Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago, was our most likely ancestor instead.
To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples, a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana, US, used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay. They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays （宇宙射线） on Earth’s surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear；the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock （or bones） were on the surface.
The new study shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and 3.7 million years old. This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives, so that either group could have given rise to modern humans. However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.
8． What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the first two paragraphs
A.It is a skull found in East Africa.
B.It is the most possible ancestor of humans.
C.It is a million years older than scientists expected.
D.It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.
9． How did scientists get the accurate age of "Mrs Ples"
A.By studying the effect of cosmic rays.
B.By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.
C.By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.
D.By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.
10． What can we infer from the new study
A.Modern humans came into being in East Africa.
B.Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.
C.The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.
D.Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.
11． Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A.Historical Puzzle Unsolved
B.Ancestor Mystery Solved
C.Mrs Ples： The Earliest Human Being
D.Mrs Ples： A Famous Skull
In an empty parking lot, a car "thinks" it is on a real road. Researchers at the Ohio State University have developed new software to aid in the development, evaluation and demonstration of safer driverless vehicles. Called the Vehicle-in-Virtual-Environment （VVE） method, it allows the testing of driverless cars in a perfectly safe environment, said Bilin Aksun-Guvene, co-author of the study and a professor of Ohio State.
Although autonomous driving technologies have become a much more common sight on the road in the last few years, due to the increasing number of accidents these systems have caused. the way these technologies are tested deserves closer observation.
Current approaches for demonstrating autonomous vehicle functions involve testing software and technology first in simulations （模拟） and then on public roads. Yet this method essentially turns other road users into involuntary participants in these driving experiments. Such risks can make the entire development process costly, inefficient, and potentially unsafe for both drivers and pedestrians （行人） alike.
To overcome the limitations of these faulty assessments, researchers in this study equipped a real vehicle with simulated data to connect its controls to a highly realistic 3D environment. much like giving the machine a VR headset or virtual reality glasses. After feeding the data to the driving system’s computers and syncing （同步） the car’s real motions with the simulations’, researchers were able to show that it behaves as if the virtual environment were its true surroundings in real time.
But what makes their software especially powerful, said Aksun-Guvenc, is the strength of how flexible their virtual environment can be. “When actual senses are replaced by virtual senses, the model can be easily changed to fit any kind of scenario,” said Guvenc.
"We could see this technology becoming an important product in the industry in the next 5 or 10 years. That’s why we’re focusing on building more applications for it." Guvene added.
12． What can we say about autonomous driving
A.It is free of dangers.
B.It definitely has a long way to go.
C.Its safety testing matters.
D.Its technology is mature.
13． What are the features of VVE method
A.Safe and real.
B.Easy and cheap.
C.Costly and inefficient.
D.Tough and complicated.
14． What does the underlined word "scenario" in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Strategy.
B.Experiment.
C.Revision.
D.Situation.
15． What is the best title for the text
A.Overcoming the Limitations of Autonomous Driving
B.Testing Real Driverless Cars in a Virtual Environment
C.Making Autonomous Driving More Common on the Road
D.Focusing on Building More Applications for Driverless Cars

FOMO stands for “fear of missing out”. It refers to that the nervous or anxious feeling a person gets when they realize they are not attending a social event either because they weren’t invited or they just didn’t feel like going. ① This belief, in turn, can create anxiety and a sense of inferiority. FOMO bothers most teens, especially if they9re often online.
One effective way for teens to deal with FOMO is to practice what is known as re-framing(重塑) thinking. ② Here are some tips on how teens can start to reframe their thinking.
Track negative thoughts and replace them with reasonable ones. One thing teens can do to deal with FOMO is to track their negative thoughts and feelings in a journal. ③ Then, they can change their thoughts and replace the negative thoughts with something positive.
④ Encourage teens to recognize that they have limited time and cannot possibly be everywhere and do everything. So, naturally, there will be social events that they cannot attend. But this does not mean that they’re necessarily missing out on something.
Turning off the technology. This seems like a natural cure for FOMO. But just switching the phone off does not erase the feelings that FOMO causes. ⑤ The key is to do something else entirely like reading a book or baking cookies-anything that allows them to focus on something other than social media.
A. Be realistic about availability.
B. There are some negative consequences of FOMO.
C. Realize that no one lives a perfect life as described on social media.
D. It’s a mental exercise designed to help them look at situations differently.
E. In general, FOMO causes people to assume that they have a low social rank.
F. Teens may still worry about missing out even if they9re not on social media at all.
G. This allows them to observe how often they5re feeling negative about themselves.

Training was brutal, as Penny Lee Dean prepared for what would be a record-setting swim ― regardless of sex ― across the English Channel in 1978. "Your hands cramp, your legs cramp," she remembers.
While the cold was bone-chilling, 1 it has been essential to her success as a record-breaking swimmer. An ability to tolerate extreme 2 is one of the advantages that women may have in this sport, as their distribution of fat is 3 for regulating body temperature in cold water.
Dean believes that any upper hand women might have in open-water swimming over a long 4 is more about mental 5 and the ability to withstand discomfort than about insulation (阻隔). In the ultradistance 6 , the ability to juggle more factors, from weather to pain, becomes particularly important.

Traveling to China as a foreigner isn’t the simplest affair. Visa applications can be complicated, and navigating (穿梭) this highly automated society with① (it) own digital ecosystem can be frightening.
But things may be changing. China has been making efforts to attract international travelers by introducing more② (welcome) policies. The country now offers visa exemptions (免签) for dozens of nationalities, as well as③ 144-hour visa-free transit (运输) policy at a growing number of ports of entry.
Meanwhile, mobile wallet giants like Alipay and WeChat have made their apps and online④ (pay) more foreigner-friendly by simplifying their lengthy set-up processes⑤ accepting international credit cards.

Knock-knock-knock. "Hello " I called timidly through my cousin Anita’ s bedroom door. No answer. There’s no way she forgot I was moving in today, right I thought. "Anita It’s me, Norah！ " I called again.
I had only met my cousin once a couple of years ago when Anita and Aunt Sonam had flown to California to visit. Mom had hoped Anita and I would be friends. But all Anita wanted to talk about was soccer, which was practically a foreign language to me. Secretly, I had felt relieved when the visit was over.
Now, I was standing in my aunt’s tiny apartment in New York City, and there was still no answer from Anita. I knocked again, a little louder this time. Finally, Anita opened the door. She apologized, saying she had been listening to music. But instead of inviting me in, Anita frowned at my massive suitcase.
Behind her, I could see a blue beanbag chair crowded next to a bunk bed（上下铺）. In my old room in California, I’d had a double bed all to myself, and my original artwork had covered all the walls. Anita’s walls, on the other hand, were covered with posters of the U. S. women’s soccer team. I didn’t see any free space to hang anything else.
"C-can I come in " I asked, blushing. Anita nodded, but she barely moved. I had no choice but to squeeze by her into the room. I put my stuff against the wall and Anita started bouncing the soccer ball from her foot to her knee and back again. Suddenly, her foot kicked the ball at an odd angle, and it accidentally flew toward me. "Whoops！ " Anita called. "Think fast！ "
But I was still taking in the surroundings, so the ball caught me off guard and bounced off my shoulder. Forcing a smile, I pretended it didn’t bother me. Unsure of what to do, I took out my sketchbook（素描本） and colored pencils and sat down. Just holding my sketchbook made me feel more at ease. I started sketching aimlessly while Anita went back to bounce her ball.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I could draw Anita in action.

Anita studied the drawing carefully.

参考答案
1．答案： D
解析： 理解具体信息。根据文中的"Registration begins June 1, 2023—register for minimum two weeks. Fees： $75 registration fee. $795 per week"可知,参加夏令营最少要两周,所以最低的费用为75+795×2=1665（美元）,故D项正确。
2．答案： B
解析： 理解具体信息根据"Camp Content"部分中的"Science and Technology camp above all emphasizes entertainment while teaching students about how websites are designed... and how to build your own hydraulic system"可知,该夏令营强调寓教于乐,故B项正确。
3．答案： C
解析： 理解具体信息根据"Camp Personnel"部分中的"The camp is headed by the husband-and-wife team of Doctors James and Sophie Clark"可知,这个夏令营是由一对夫妇负责的,故C项正确。head在此作动词,意为"领导,主管"。
4．答案： C
解析： 文章开头提到"As a child, Mateo DeLa Rocha dreamed of working as a garbage man. In his home city, trash piles were everywhere. The local sanitation worker was the only person cleaning up the pollution.",小时候家乡到处是垃圾堆,只有环卫工人清理污染,这种污染以及缺乏帮助解决污染问题的状况最初激发了他对环境问题的兴趣,A选项"The Well Done Foundation’s work"是后续他们参与活动联系的组织,不是最初的启发；B选项"His AP Environmental Science class"是后来让他意识到废弃油井问题可由个人发挥作用的契机；D选项"His family’s move to America"只是家庭情况的变化,并非激发他对环境问题兴趣的原因,所以选择C。
5．答案： A
解析： 文中提到"The EPA estimates that abandoned wells collectively released 303, 000 tonnes of methane in 2022. That’s roughly equivalent to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 23 gas-burning power plants.",说明废弃油井会释放大量甲烷,堵塞废弃油井能够阻止甲烷泄漏到大气中,从而有助于应对气候变化,B选项"防止附近农场污染"不是其应对气候变化的主要原因；C选项"帮助减少二氧化碳排放",重点在于阻止甲烷泄漏,而非直接减少二氧化碳排放；D选项"鼓励石油公司负责任地管理油井"不是堵塞废弃油井应对气候变化的直接原因,所以选择A。
6．答案： D
解析： 根据文中"Ng said. ‘It kind of flipped a switch.’Previously, he had felt helpless about climate change but would simply joke about the world ending."以及"For Gisondi, talking with her friends about these methane-emitting wells brought climate change from the back of her mind to the forefront. ‘It was something that I felt I could actually help with,’she said."可知,DeLa Rocha的提议让他的朋友们从对气候变化感到无助转变为觉得自己能够有所作为,对自己在气候变化方面能产生的个人影响有了信心,A选项"对环保组织失望"文中未体现；B选项"不确定自己能否有所作为"不符合他们后来的感受；C选项"有动力继续环境研究"不是主要体现的感受,所以选择D。
7．答案： B
解析： 文章主要讲述了Mateo DeLa Rocha和他的两个朋友一起筹集资金堵塞俄亥俄州废弃油井来应对气候变化这一独特做法,A选项"DeLa Rocha的童年梦想"只是开头引入,不是主要内容；C选项"美国环保组织的影响"只是涉及到他们联系的The Well Done Foundation,并非主要讲述内容；D选项"石油公司管理废弃油井的方法"不是文章重点,所以选择B,主要讲的是三个青少年应对气候变化的独特办法。
8．答案： C
解析： 根据第一段"Scientists have solved a puzzle about modern humans, after research showed that a famous skull of a human ancestor found in South Africa is a million years older than experts thought."可知,"Mrs Ples"这个头骨比科学家们预想的要早一百万年,所以选择C选项。A选项,文中明确提到是在南非发现的,而非东非,错误；B选项,之前科学家认为Australopithecus afarensis是最有可能的人类祖先,并非"Mrs Ples",错误；D选项,原来认为它生活在2.1到2.6百万年前,而新研究推翻了这一结论,错误。
9．答案： D
解析： 从文中"They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays （宇宙射线） on Earth’s surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear；the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock （or bones） were on the surface."可知,科学家们是通过测量岩石中残留化学物质的量来确定"Mrs Ples"的准确年龄的,所以选择D选项。A选项"研究宇宙射线的影响"不是直接确定年龄的方式；B选项"计算化学物质的形成速率"不准确,重点是测量残留量；C选项"定位头骨所在的沙岩"只是前期的一个步骤,不是确定年龄的关键做法。
10．答案： D
解析： 根据最后一段"However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans."可以推断出,来自非洲的类猿物种可能相互之间有交流互动,所以选择D选项。A选项"现代人类在东非形成"文中并没有明确表明；B选项"Mrs Ples与东非亲属旅行并生育后代"只是一种可能性的推测,不是确定的推断；C选项"现代人类的历史可能始于350万年前"比较片面,新研究只是表明相关物种生活的时间,不能就此确定人类历史开始的时间。
11．答案： B
解析： 文章开篇就提到科学家解决了一个关于现代人类的谜题,围绕"Mrs Ples"这个头骨的新研究改变了人们对人类历史的认知,解开了祖先相关的谜团,所以"Ancestor Mystery Solved"（祖先之谜被解开）作为标题最合适,选择B选项。A选项"历史谜题未解"与文意不符；C选项"Mrs Ples：最早的人类"不准确,文章未表明它是最早人类；D选项"Mrs Ples：一个著名的头骨"没有体现出文章重点是关于人类祖先谜团的解开这一核心内容。
12．答案： C
解析： 根据第二段"Although autonomous driving technologies have become a much more common sight on the road in the last few years, due to the increasing number of accidents these systems have caused, the way these technologies are tested deserves closer observation."可知,尽管自动驾驶技术越发常见,但因其引发的事故增多,其安全测试很重要,值得更密切关注,所以选择C选项。A选项"它没有危险"与文中提到出现事故不符；B选项"它肯定还有很长的路要走"文中未着重体现这一意思；D选项"它的技术成熟"也不符合文中因事故凸显出测试等方面还有问题的情况。
13．答案： A
解析： 从文中"Called the Vehicle-in-Virtual-Environment （VVE） method, it allows the testing of driverless cars in a perfectly safe environment"以及后文对其具体操作及优势的描述可知,VVE方法的特点是安全（Safe）且能营造出较为真实的环境让无人驾驶汽车进行测试,也就是具有真实感（real）,所以选择A选项。B选项"简单且便宜"文中未提及；C选项"昂贵且低效"是当前测试方法存在的问题,不是VVE方法的特点；D选项"艰难且复杂"不符合对VVE方法的描述。
14．答案： D
解析： 根据前文"When actual senses are replaced by virtual senses, the model can be easily changed to fit any kind of scenario",当实际感官被虚拟感官替代时,模型能轻易改变以适应任何一种情景（situation）,这里"scenario"表达的就是类似"情况、情景"的意思,所以选择D选项。A选项"策略"、B选项"实验"、C选项"修订"都不符合此处语境。
15．答案： B
解析： 文章开篇介绍了俄亥俄州立大学研究人员开发的新软件VVE方法,接着阐述了其能在安全的虚拟环境中对无人驾驶汽车进行测试以及该方法的优势等内容,重点围绕在虚拟环境中测试真实无人驾驶汽车这一主题展开,所以"Testing Real Driverless Cars in a Virtual Environment"（在虚拟环境中测试真实无人驾驶汽车）作为标题最合适,选择B选项。A选项"克服自动驾驶的局限"比较宽泛,没有突出测试这一关键内容；C选项"让自动驾驶在路上更常见"不是文章重点；D选项"专注于为无人驾驶汽车构建更多应用"只是文末提及的一部分内容,不能概括全文主旨。
16．答案： E； D； G； A； F
解析： 本文主要介绍心理学现象"错失恐惧症（Fear of Missing Out）"以及针对FOMO提出的建议。
①E上一句介绍了FOMO的具体含义,下一句说这种看法反过来又会产生焦虑和自卑情绪；由此可知,空处应该说的是某种看法,且与FOMO有关；结合选项可知,E项"通常来说,FOMO 导致人们认为他们社会地位低下"符合语境。"认为他们社会地位低下"是产生焦虑和自卑情绪的原因。
②D上一句提到青少年应对FOMO的方法是重塑观念,接下来应该是介绍什么是重塑观念。结合选项可知,D项符合语境,选项中的"It"指代上一句中的"reframing（重塑）thinking"。
③G上一句说青少年可以在日记中跟踪自己的消极想法及感受,下一句说然后他们就可以改变他们的观念,用积极的事物替代消极观念,空处应该讲此种方法的作用,故G项切题。"This"指代上一句中的"to track their negative thoughts and feelings in a journal","them"指代上一句中的"teens"。
④A本段提到要鼓励青少年认识到他们时间有限,不能出席一些社交活动是很自然的事情, 由此可以概括出本段的主旨,即要现实地看待参加社交活动的问题,所以A选项符合语境。选项中的"availability"在这里可以理解为参加社交活动的可行性。
⑤F上一句说关掉手机并不能消除FOMO导致的情绪,空处应该是介绍青少年不接触社交媒体后的情况,F项"即使青少年根本不在社交媒体上,他们仍然可能担心错过"符合语境,同时为下一句介绍消除FOMO的关键做好铺垫。

解析： 根据前文提到的"the cold"以及后文"in cold water"等内容可知,此处说的是忍受极端寒冷（cold）的能力,所以选择A选项。B选项"冻结"是一种状态,不是此处所指的忍受的对象；C选项"霜"、D选项"薄雾"都不符合语境。
19．答案： A
解析： 根据"their distribution of fat is...for regulating body temperature in cold water"可知,女性的脂肪分布对在冷水中调节体温是有益的（beneficial）,所以选择A选项。B选项"有害的"与文意相悖；C选项"至关重要的"程度上不太符合此处只是说对调节体温有益这一描述；D选项"不相关的"不符合语境。
20．答案： B
解析： 根据后文"In the ultradistance..."可知,此处说的是在长距离（distance）公开水域游泳中女性可能有的优势,所以选择B选项。A选项"持续时间"、C选项"海峡"、D选项"努力"都不符合此处表达长距离游泳的语境。
21．答案： B
解析： 根据"more about mental...and the ability to withstand discomfort"可知,这里说的是心理适应（adaptation）能力以及忍受不适的能力,所以选择B选项。A选项"批准"、C选项"采用"、D选项"异常的"都不符合此处描述心理方面能力的语境。
22．答案： D
解析： 根据后文"From ultrarunning to shooting sports, in some competitions..."可知,这里说的是在超长距离赛事（event）中,所以选择D选项。A选项"比赛"比较宽泛；B选项"马拉松"只是一种具体的长跑赛事,不符合此处指代多种赛事的语境；C选项"试验"不符合此处表达体育赛事的意思。

25．答案： C
解析： "tend to"表示"往往,倾向于",此处说男性的肌肉往往（tend to）能给他们带来更多耐力,符合语境,所以选择C选项。A选项"导致"、B选项"打算"、D选项"订阅,同意"都不符合此处描述男性肌肉与耐力关系的语境。
26．答案： D
解析： "center of gravity"是固定短语,意为"重心",此处说女性较低的体重和较低的重心能让她们有更好的平衡控制,所以选择D选项。A选项"重量"、B选项"形状"、C选项"高度"都不符合此处表达重心这一概念的语境。
27．答案： B

Embrace English, Show Ourselves
Last week witnessed huge success of our school’s English Week themed "Embrace English, Show Ourselves".
Among the many events, the one that has left a lasting impression on me is the "English Drama Night". Students from different classes grouped together to perform English plays, ranging from classic Shakespearean tragedies to contemporary pieces. I was not only impressed by my fellow students’ excellent command of the English language, but also deeply moved by their vivid portrayal of the characters.
The week serves as a reminder that learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary. It is also about self-expression. Now, I’m more motivated than ever to continue improving my English to bring out the best in myself.

34．答案：
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I could draw Anita in action. Quickly turning to a blank page, I broadly outlined the shape of my cousin bouncing the soccer ball. My spirits rose with each new line I drew. It was true that I didn’t enjoy playing sports, but I was really enjoying the challenge of trying to sketch my cousin in action！ Although it was my first attempt at something like this, I was pleased with the way I’d captured the energy of Anita’s movements. As I was examining my drawing, I didn’t notice the soccer ball was no longer bouncing. I glanced up to see Anita curiously eyeing my drawing. Nervously, I handed the sketchbook to her.
Anita studied the drawing carefully. I resisted the urge to grab the sketchbook and hide. She must think it was totally weird. However, Anita said it was awesome and asked if she could have it. Before I could respond, she had already ripped the drawing out of the sketchbook. Then Anita rummaged through a drawer for a tape, saying that she wasn’t really into art, but thought the drawing should definitely be on display in "our room". After taping the drawing over one of her posters, Anita said a few changes needed to be made around the room if I was moving in. With a broad smile, I picked up Anita’s soccer ball and tossed it toward my new roommate. "Think fast！ "
