For years, Robyn Elman, a nature advocate, has been passionately raising the endangered monarch butterflies in the cozy corner of her backyard. She collects the butterfly eggs from the milkweed plants — the only food for these delicate creatures — alongside the highways. Each time she goes on her journey to the highways, she hopes these little eggs, which are as precious as hidden treasures, will hatch (孵化) into many beautiful creatures. They will slowly make the group which is getting smaller gradually breathe new life.
But reality destroyed her hopes last year. Instead of being greeted by the green milkweed plants, she was met with the desolate sight of mowed stubs (修剪过的草茬) and destroyed eggs. The milkweed plants had been cut down, and all left were short stubs. She felt a deep sense of loss. “Is there really no hope for these delicate, flying creatures ” she whispered to herself, her heart as heavy as a big piece of lead.
Even as pain consumed her, Robyn remained determined. She teamed up with other nature lovers. They reached out to Frank Coniglio, the city’s director of highway maintenance, urging him to cut the butterflies a break. At first, Frank was doubtful. He thought, “How important can this be What difference will it make It’s just some butterflies and plants.” But as Robyn and her friends poured out their worries, and kept explaining the importance of the issue, Frank began to understand. He finally realised, “What happens to the butterflies is going to happen to us, isn’t it ”, as if a light bulb had suddenly switched on in his mind.
Frank went to work on studying more about monarch butterflies, and finally he supported their cause, and took decisive action. He stopped mowing in certain areas, drawing an invisible line of protection. So far, around 20 patches of milkweed plants, like oases in the urban desert, have been protected across the city. “We’re making a real difference,” Frank said proudly.
Thanks to their combined efforts, the monarch butterflies now have a brighter future, and the city’s ecosystem is on the path to positive transformation.

Luther Gerlach’s images enrich the permanent collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among other institutions.
While studying his work, one cannot help but revisit the journey he undertook in pursuit of art. Gerlach has dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for him to read and spell, and in middle school, it began to affect his studies. At the University of Minnesota, where Gerlach studied biology, his struggle with writing reached a tipping point. Gerlach left the university and entered art school. “Art has never been something that slowed me down, in contrast to the written word,” Gerlach says.
After graduating from art school, Gerlach took what he learned and traveled across the United States selling his prints at art fairs. It was the late 1980s, and Gerlach traveled roughly 90,000 miles a year, taking photos along the way. He was making $100,000 a year doing what he loved.
But the emergence of digital photography changed everything. Photographers began to use Photoshop to create the hand-brushed quality of Gerlach’s photographs and told customers they were using the same process Gerlach was using. “I would hear them talking — complete lies,” he says.
Rather than dive into digital, Gerlach moved into a photographic process that was quite unusual: the wet collodion (火棉胶) process, invented in 1851. The process involves coating a plate of glass or metal with collodion, followed by using a silver nitrate (硝酸银) bath to make the plate sensitive to light. The plate is then placed in a light-tight film holder, with the photo made almost immediately while the plate is still wet.
It wasn’t easy when he first started, but Gerlach has always considered “constant problem solving” to be part of the creative process. It made Gerlach feel “present as an artist”. “I saw the final product right there in front of me. The same leaves on the tree that I’m standing in front of are on the image,” Gerlach explains. “The process allowed me to feel more like a photographer instead of a machine that printed prints to sell so I could make money. And when the final product works, nothing else compares to it.”
28．Luther Gerlach’s dyslexia ________.
A．forced him to change his major
B．drove him to go into business
C．made him drop out of middle school
D．affected his artistic performance
29．As digital photography emerged, Luther Gerlach ________.
A．adopted a unique photographic technique
B．set off for new places to take photographs
C．praised photographers for using Photoshop
D．improved the hand-brushed quality of his photos
30．Why did Luther Gerlach prefer the wet collodion process
A．It was cheap and reliable.
B．It was easy and efficient.
C．It gave him artistic satisfaction.
D．It helped him sell prints for profit.
31．What can we learn from this passage
A．Necessity inspires invention.
B．Everything comes to those who wait.
C．Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
D．Dare to be different in a world of copycats.
第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分, 共10分）
根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A multipotentialite is someone who has many different interests, talents, or passions, and who has a hard time choosing just one to focus on. These individuals are often creative, curious, and open-minded. They also tend to do well in a variety of different areas. Some may pursue multiple careers over the course of their lives. 32
Multipotentialites often have a unique opinion on the world, as they’re able to draw connections and insights from various fields and apply them in innovative ways. 33 However, they may struggle with feeling like they’re not able to fully commit to any one thing, or that they’re not as successful as they could be if they just focused on one area.
Multipotentialites have more going for them than just getting to do cool stuff like making violins in-between psychology appointments or teaching master classes in-between magazine editing. They have some very special superpowers that make them very valuable to any team. 34 The first multipotentialite superpower is idea integration. That is, combining two or more fields and creating something new at the crossroad. The second multipotentialite superpower is rapid learning. The third multipotentialite superpower is adaptability.
35 Organizations today are looking for employees that are adaptable, think outside of the box and that can innovate, create and build. These are all skills that can be gained from students embracing their curiosity and trying a range of different things, whether it is studying a range of different subjects, having after-class activities, or by getting out there and doing work experience with a series of organizations across industries.
So, whether you’re a parent, a teacher, a mentor or another kind of influence to any young people, you should encourage them to be multipotentialites. You should push them to try something new and nurture their diverse areas of interest. 36
A．Meanwhile, others may have several different hobbies or creative pursuits.
B．Every student is different and not every student is going to fit the same world.
C．We’re seeing a higher demand for these multipotentialite skills in 21st-century.
D．Many people are encouraged to choose a career path in their late teens or early twenties.
E．These superpowers also give them some advantages in today's and tomorrow’s workforce.
F．They’re also adaptable and flexible, able to switch between diverse tasks and roles with ease.
G．In addition, you should inspire them to develop a passion for learning and allow them to do well in the areas that interest them.

When advising children and adolescents who are learning to regulate their emotions, experts explain that how they think affects how they feel. After children learn to use some basic techniques to regulate their emotions, a greater sense of internal control arises. Thereafter, people start to notice the power they can feel in their minds by changing their thought patterns.
“I believe that changing our thinking patterns helps engage different parts of the brain,” said Ran D．Anbar, the author of Changing Children’s Lives with Hypnosis: A Journey to the Center, “For instance, we may find ourselves habitually thinking in a particular way that predictably makes us feel poorly, for example angry, anxious, or sad. People can become angry when they feel that they have been treated poorly or have not gotten their way. The anger occurs because the person focuses on the perceived (察觉到的) injustice. When we shift our thinking, we can more easily create new, healthier thought patterns.”
For instance, 14-year-old “Sarah” became angry with her parents for restricting her use of social media. While discussing why her parents did so, Sarah recognized that they were attempting to protect her from some of the ill effects of overusing social media. Sarah let go of her anger. She switched from thinking about her frustration with her parents’ restrictions and instead focused her thoughts on how to solve the dilemma (困境) regarding her overuse of social media. She was able to recognize that her parents were her valuable friends rather than her opponents.
Frequently, people explain to themselves and others that their poor mood is related to unfortunate circumstances. While holding such a belief, people sometimes take comfort in the idea that since they cannot change their circumstances, there should be no expectation that they take charge of improving their feelings.
However, as demonstrated in this post, our emotional response to unfortunate circumstances can be brought under our control and improved through a change in our thinking patterns. Sometimes, that change can even help us figure out new ways to act that also will improve our situation.
37．What happens after children regulate their emotion
38．Why does the author mention the example of Sarah in the 3rd paragraph
39．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
People always believe their poor mood is due to unfortunate circumstances, so they will try to change their situation in order to have a good mood.
40．Besides changing thinking patterns, do you have other way(s) to control your emotions (In about 40 words)

Luther Gerlach’s images enrich the permanent collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among other institutions.
While studying his work, one cannot help but revisit the journey he undertook in pursuit of art. Gerlach has dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for him to read and spell, and in middle school, it began to affect his studies. At the University of Minnesota, where Gerlach studied biology, his struggle with writing reached a tipping point. Gerlach left the university and entered art school. “Art has never been something that slowed me down, in contrast to the written word,” Gerlach says.
After graduating from art school, Gerlach took what he learned and traveled across the United States selling his prints at art fairs. It was the late 1980s, and Gerlach traveled roughly 90,000 miles a year, taking photos along the way. He was making $100,000 a year doing what he loved.
But the emergence of digital photography changed everything. Photographers began to use Photoshop to create the hand-brushed quality of Gerlach’s photographs and told customers they were using the same process Gerlach was using. “I would hear them talking — complete lies,” he says.
Rather than dive into digital, Gerlach moved into a photographic process that was quite unusual: the wet collodion (火棉胶) process, invented in 1851. The process involves coating a plate of glass or metal with collodion, followed by using a silver nitrate (硝酸银) bath to make the plate sensitive to light. The plate is then placed in a light-tight film holder, with the photo made almost immediately while the plate is still wet.
It wasn’t easy when he first started, but Gerlach has always considered “constant problem solving” to be part of the creative process. It made Gerlach feel “present as an artist”. “I saw the final product right there in front of me. The same leaves on the tree that I’m standing in front of are on the image,” Gerlach explains. “The process allowed me to feel more like a photographer instead of a machine that printed prints to sell so I could make money. And when the final product works, nothing else compares to it.”
28．Luther Gerlach’s dyslexia ________.
A．forced him to change his major

根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A multipotentialite is someone who has many different interests, talents, or passions, and who has a hard time choosing just one to focus on. These individuals are often creative, curious, and open-minded. They also tend to do well in a variety of different areas. Some may pursue multiple careers over the course of their lives. 32
Multipotentialites often have a unique opinion on the world, as they’re able to draw connections and insights from various fields and apply them in innovative ways. 33 However, they may struggle with feeling like they’re not able to fully commit to any one thing, or that they’re not as successful as they could be if they just focused on one area.
Multipotentialites have more going for them than just getting to do cool stuff like making violins in-between psychology appointments or teaching master classes in-between magazine editing. They have some very special superpowers that make them very valuable to any team. 34 The first multipotentialite superpower is idea integration. That is, combining two or more fields and creating something new at the crossroad. The second multipotentialite superpower is rapid learning. The third multipotentialite superpower is adaptability.
35 Organizations today are looking for employees that are adaptable, think outside of the box and that can innovate, create and build. These are all skills that can be gained from students embracing their curiosity and trying a range of different things, whether it is studying a range of different subjects, having after-class activities, or by getting out there and doing work experience with a series of organizations across industries.
So, whether you’re a parent, a teacher, a mentor or another kind of influence to any young people, you should encourage them to be multipotentialites. You should push them to try something new and nurture their diverse areas of interest. 36
A．Meanwhile, others may have several different hobbies or creative pursuits.
B．Every student is different and not every student is going to fit the same world.
C．We’re seeing a higher demand for these multipotentialite skills in 21st-century.
D．Many people are encouraged to choose a career path in their late teens or early twenties.
E．These superpowers also give them some advantages in today's and tomorrow’s workforce.
F．They’re also adaptable and flexible, able to switch between diverse tasks and roles with ease.
G．In addition, you should inspire them to develop a passion for learning and allow them to do well in the areas that interest them.
第三部分书面表达（共两节,32分）

When advising children and adolescents who are learning to regulate their emotions, experts explain that how they think affects how they feel. After children learn to use some basic techniques to regulate their emotions, a greater sense of internal control arises. Thereafter, people start to notice the power they can feel in their minds by changing their thought patterns.
“I believe that changing our thinking patterns helps engage different parts of the brain,” said Ran D．Anbar, the author of Changing Children’s Lives with Hypnosis: A Journey to the Center, “For instance, we may find ourselves habitually thinking in a particular way that predictably makes us feel poorly, for example angry, anxious, or sad. People can become angry when they feel that they have been treated poorly or have not gotten their way. The anger occurs because the person focuses on the perceived (察觉到的) injustice. When we shift our thinking, we can more easily create new, healthier thought patterns.”
For instance, 14-year-old “Sarah” became angry with her parents for restricting her use of social media. While discussing why her parents did so, Sarah recognized that they were attempting to protect her from some of the ill effects of overusing social media. Sarah let go of her anger. She switched from thinking about her frustration with her parents’ restrictions and instead focused her thoughts on how to solve the dilemma (困境) regarding her overuse of social media. She was able to recognize that her parents were her valuable friends rather than her opponents.
Frequently, people explain to themselves and others that their poor mood is related to unfortunate circumstances. While holding such a belief, people sometimes take comfort in the idea that since they cannot change their circumstances, there should be no expectation that they take charge of improving their feelings.
However, as demonstrated in this post, our emotional response to unfortunate circumstances can be brought under our control and improved through a change in our thinking patterns. Sometimes, that change can even help us figure out new ways to act that also will improve our situation.
37．What happens after children regulate their emotion
38．Why does the author mention the example of Sarah in the 3rd paragraph
39．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
People always believe their poor mood is due to unfortunate circumstances, so they will try to change their situation in order to have a good mood.
40．Besides changing thinking patterns, do you have other way(s) to control your emotions (In about 40 words)

Dear Jim,
I’m Li Hua. Since you’re interested in our “Labor Is the Most Glorious” themed educational activity, I’m glad to tell you some details.
The purpose of this activity is to raise our awareness of the value of labor. It will be carried out in the form of a combination of lectures and hands-on practice.
During the activity, there will be a lecture first, introducing the great significance of labor in our daily lives and society. Then we’ll participate in some practical labor, like gardening in the schoolyard. I believe that through these activities, we will gain a stronger sense of teamwork. Also, we will realize that every small effort in labor can contribute to a better environment.
I hope you can also understand more about labor through this.
Yours,
Li Hua
