Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled to tell you about a traditional handicraft workshop my class attended in school last Sunday, where we explored the fascinating world of Chinese folk art.
During the session, I crafted a clay vase, which I carefully shaped with a solid base and decorated with delicate patterns. It was my first time working with clay, and while my vase wasn’t flawless, I felt a profound sense of accomplishment in creating it from scratch．
This experience was truly enlightening. Not only did I gain new insights into Chinese craftsmanship, but I also realized how much patience and precision such work demands. I’m looking forward to exploring more creative projects in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

I began looking forward to math class, even if I still disliked the subject. There was just something in Mr. Anderson’s presence that made me feel as if I had the potential to succeed. He was patient and kind, and he never made anyone feel like they were dumb or incapable. However, I did not become better overnight, and I continued to struggle with my assignments and exams. Actually, it was in Mr. Anderson’s class that I received my lowest test grade. Yet, he never gave up on me. Instead, he became even more determined to help me with my math, and to help me see my potential.
My determination to succeed grew despite the unsatisfying grade. I started putting in more effort and practicing consistently. Gradually I found myself enjoying math more than I had ever thought and my grades slowly climbed. There were still obstacles, but whenever they appeared, “It’s a great day to live!” crossed my mind. At the end of the school year, I found in astonishment that my math grade significantly improved. Thanks to Mr. Anderson, I gained newfound confidence in myself and my abilities. I no longer set limitations on myself; instead I strive to achieve my full potential.报告查询:登录或扫描二维码下载App

Power of Public Speaking has partnered with ASI Innovation Labs to integrate artificial intelligence into the Pops Classroom platform for improving public speaking skills. The first project is the Pops Advisor which provides an automatic evaluation of students’ video presentations with visual feedback.
The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere. This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress.
Criteria
Using machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria:
Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion
Vocal StyleVocal QualityVocal FillerEye ContactBody Language CredibilityAttentionCentral IdeaPreviewConnective SupportLanguageConnectiveCredibilityOrganization Signaling EndingSummaryMemorable EndingCredibility
Feedback
The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats:
●Recommendations
To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice, recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement. For instance, the recommendation can be “Your message is clear, but be sure you are grabbing your audience’s attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening.”
●Speech Metrics（指标）
Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words, total presentation time, speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage.
Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting, particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course. When you are considering what can be achieved by your students toward skill development in a single school semester, Advisor increases the overall development.
21. What is the Pops Advisor
A. A voice assistant. B. A video player. C. A time tracker. D. An evaluation tool.
22. Which of the following categories provides feedback on facial expressions
A. Delivery. B. Introduction. C. Body. D. Conclusion.
23. Who is the text intended for
A. Lab technicians. B. Public speech instructors.
C. Foreign language learners. D. Artificial Intelligence engineers.

A friend recently treated me to a preview of her planned trip to Italy. After making tea for me, she laid out the itinerary（行程） in military order—the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, Pompeii, Venice, the Appian Way, etc. By the time she was done, I was worn out, and I hadn’t even set foot outside the house.
I do wish her an enjoyable journey. It’s just that my method of travel is very different. The extent of my planning is generally to identify a destination and then go there, casting fortune to the wind. This may not be for everybody, but jumping into the unknown, for me, has proven its fair share of benefits.
The examples are legion. There was Greenland, where I wound up in a small settlement without a place to stay. The locals took me in, and I had the pleasure of eating supper with three generations of an Inuit family while they entertained me with fantastic stories one would not find in any guidebook.
A few years back, driving through Iceland on a windswept day, I noticed an older woman sitting by herself at a picnic table by a waterfall. I stopped, approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a fountain of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. And there are more stories like that.
For me, travel reflects the way I perceive my own environment here in Maine, the US. Once winter comes to an end and the ice clears from the waterways, I seek out a pond, lake, or river previously unknown to me. That’s where I set my boat, and I begin to paddle（划船） with my eyes and ears open, anticipating the hidden surprises. I’m able to relate to something British explorer Richard Burton once said: “The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.”
24. What made the author worn out
A. A military order. B. His recent trip to Italy.
C. His friend’s highly detailed plan. D. The complicated way of making tea.
25. What does the underlined word “legion” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Numerous. B. Appropriate. C. Shocking. D. Welcome.
26. How did the author probably feel sitting with the older woman
A. Anxious and helpless. B. Proud and ambitious.
C. Scared and confused. D. Curious and grateful.
27. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. The influence of Richard Burton.
B. The environment in Maine, the US.
C. The author’s appreciation of lands.
D. The author’s desire for the unknown.
C
When someone sets out to improve their health, they usually take a familiar path: starting a healthy diet, adopting a new workout plan, getting better sleep, or drinking more water. Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health—and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being.
A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle—as measured by cell phone activity —was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla.
“There’s a qualified self, which is who I am, what my activities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. All of these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements,” Chawla says. “And they are strong determinants of my well-being.”
A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Gender（性别）and income didn’t seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness tended to decrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspective afforded by years of life lived, says Dr. Stuart Lustig, one of the report’s authors.
Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere（范围）. It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life. Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’ll find folks doing what you want to do.” That advice is particularly important for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media use is common.
Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have a large impact. Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, or even engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your social life feel more rewarding.
What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To show social health is ignored by some people.
B. To show social people like to do workouts with others.
C. To prove many people tend to follow suit to improve their health.
D. To prove more and more people have benefited from physical exercise.
29. What do we learn about fitness tracker data according to paragraph 2
A. They are out of date.
B. They are not scientific.
C. They cannot reflect one’s overall health.
D. They can help realize the “qualified self”.
30. What did the 2019 study find
A. Old people felt lonelier than young people.
B. Females feel happy more easily than males.
C. The overuse of social media could lead to loneliness.
D. Income had a great influence on people’s well-being.
31. What advice does Dr. Stuart Lustig give
A. Avoiding talking to strangers.
B. Using social media as little as possible.
C. Spending more time with like-minded young people.
D. Using technology for meaningful face-to-face interactions.
D
Bison, a crucial species, once nearly extinct, were reintroduced to Europe. A new study by researchers from Yale University and Memorial University of Newfoundland has found that a herd of 170 bison being reintroduced to the Tarcu mountains of Romania could help store carbon dioxide emissions equal to removing at least 43,000 gas-powered cars from the United States’ roads for one year.
“Most previous studies of carbon models do not consider animal-mediated（动物调节的）effects, focusing instead on carbon exchanges among plants, microbes, and the atmosphere. Yet, a growing body of evidence from diverse ecosystems points to universal animal effects on ecosystem carbon cycling and shows that ignoring them could lead to misunderstanding of an ecosystem’s carbon cycle,” the study said.
“Bison influence grassland and forest ecosystems by feeding on growing grass equally, recycling nutrition to fertilize the soil, spreading seeds to enrich the ecosystem, and compacting（压实）the soil to prevent stored carbon from being released,” said Professor Oswald Schmitz, lead author of the study and a professor of population and community ecology at Yale University.” These creatures evolved for millions of years, and their removal, especially where grasslands have been ploughed（犁）up, has led to the release of vast amounts of carbon. Restoring these ecosystems can bring back balance, and rewilded bison are some of the climate heroes that can help achieve this,” Schmitz added.
The bison’s return helps to maintain the ecosystem and inspire Eco-business and tourism centered around rewilding. Furthermore, it opens up a whole new series of options for climate policymakers around the world. Until now, nature protection and restoration has largely been treated as a challenge that we need to face alongside the climate emergency. This research shows we can address both challenges: we can bring back nature through rewilding and this will draw down vast amounts of carbon, helping to stabilize the global climate.
What can be inferred from paragraph 1 and 2
A. Previous studies concentrated on animal effects on carbon cycling.
B. Only plants, microbes, and the atmosphere participate in carbon exchanges.
C. The purpose of reintroducing bison is to remove gas-powered cars from roads.
D. The reintroduction of bison contributes to cutting down carbon dioxide emissions.
33. What does Professor Oswald Schmitz probably agree with
A. The primary role of bison is a tourist attraction.
B. Bison promote biodiversity by eating growing grass evenly.
C. Bison pack down the soil to keep stored carbon from escaping.
D. Bison maintain ecosystem balance by managing invasive plant species.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards rewilded bison
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A. Bison Return: Boosts Carbon Storage
B. Grassland Recovery: The Role of Wildlife
C. A New Study: Ecosystem Diversity Boost
D. European Grasslands: A New Bison Habitat
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When something goes wrong at work, it’s normal to take that negative experience to heart and hold onto it for the rest of the day. That tendency is a product of how our brains are wired, and it exposes us to extra, unneeded stress. ___36___. Although it can be difficult, it’s possible to change our negative experiences, let go of negativity, and focus on the good.
Here are three strategies that will help you train your mind to focus more on the positive.
Practice “gain framing”
___37___. When you describe a glass as half-full, that’s what Alison Ledgerwood, a social psychologist at UC Davis, calls a gain frame, because you are focusing on what’s been gained. On the other side, seeing the glass as half-empty is a loss frame. By using “gain framing” to describe your experiences to others, you will start to see the positive in any given situation.
___38___
While it’s easy to assume that venting（发泄）will help remove your negative emotions, focusing on something happy that happened recently can make your brain switch directions, which is ultimately more helpful. ___39___. Of course, it may feel difficult at the beginning. Therapists（治疗师）widely suggest journaling to their patients, and devoting the effort to writing down happy things actively engages your brain in positivity.
Think outside the box
Basically, the way we react at the moment can make a significant difference in how we think about a situation later. Instead of reacting angrily to someone who has annoyed you, try forgiving them. ___40___. By responding this way, you can engage in spreading the positive to others.
A. Just put pen to paper
B. Acknowledge one good thing
C. However, it doesn’t have to be like this
D. Discussing goals with your friends helps you stay motivated
E. If your waiter at a cafe mixes up your order, leave a nice tip anyway
F. Keep a journal to note down the lessons learned from daily experiences
G. The way you recall your own experiences can change the way you see them

The sun was preparing to rest for the evening. Saying goodbye to the clan（氏族）, I headed back to camp. I looked forward to setting my ___41___ aside for an evening to reflect on my time in Ethiopia.
I wasn’t long headed home when I heard a ___42___ behind me. “Photo, photo, photo.” A young Surma boy about 7 or 8 years old followed closely at my ___43___. I breathed a tired sigh. I hoped he would find someone else to ___44___ his photograph, but he kept following me. He managed to catch my eye. With eyes ___45___ open, full of hope, he asked me again with ___46___ on his face, “Photo ”
As I looked at him, half interested, an idea for a composition ___47___ into my mind. I prepared to take the photograph, but his energy suddenly shifted from eagerness to shyness to fear. No matter what I told him to do—how to stand, how to ___48___—I just couldn’t get the shot. Struck by ___49___, I gave up. The boy looked alone and awkward. He’d wanted his photograph taken, but now he’d gone camera ___50___.
To cheer him, others in his clan gathered around, clapping loudly. ___51___, the boy’s face immediately broke into a smile. I intuitively took a few shots of the moment.
That photograph turned out to be better than the ___52___ I’d imagined. Reflecting on my experience with the Surma boy, I realized I had been ___53___ in my own ideas and wants. When I agreed to take the shot, I was looking for a ___54___ end result for myself. But all the boy had really wanted was to be seen for a moment. That was the moment that needed to be ___55___.

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。
I am really bad at math. Early in life, this lack of skill laid the groundwork for a strong dislike towards the subject and an ongoing effort to avoid it at all costs. So how is it that the most influential person in my school life was Mr. Anderson, my high school math teacher
During high school, I was far from a math teacher’s dream student. My mind was full of things that high school students tend to focus on: friends, cheerleading, clubs... I involved myself in my social life, and my math exam results often suffered from my avoidance.
Walking into Mr. Anderson’s classroom, my primary focus was on picking a good seat, surrounded by my friends and near the door. From day one, I was very aware of having a disadvantage for math. It wasn’t uncommon for me to give up midway through an assignment or be absent-minded during a lesson because I didn’t understand it. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was capable of doing well. “I can’t” became my permanent state of mind in all things related to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not an option in Mr. Anderson’s class. On the first day of class, Mr. Anderson greeted us with his arms extended as he said aloud, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to live!” That phrase, which I would hear frequently over the next four years, became an ever-present source of comfort and familiarity. From then on, it was clear that Mr. Anderson had a true passion not only for math, but for teaching. His positive and uplifting attitude never faded. If Mr. Anderson ever experienced the bad days of normal life, he never showed it, greeting us with that same enthusiasm every day.
The uplifting personality mirrored Mr. Anderson’s teaching methods. Not only were his methods engaging, but his positive attitude spread. He encouraged each student, from the top students to me, the self-defined “I can’t” student.
