In June 2015, Captain Radhika Menon found herself in charge of the oil tanker(油轮) Sampurna Swarajya, battling dangerous waves in the Bay of Bengal. Little did she know that her leadership would be put to the ultimate test in a dramatic rescue mission.
On June 22,2015, as the storm continued violently, Second Officer Manoj Chauhan spotted a small boat adrift(漂流) off the coast of Gopalpur, Odisha. Seven fishermen injured and desperate, were losing their struggle to the unforgiving sea. The fishing boat with neither shelter nor anchor had been at sea for seven days. Chinna Rao, 40, and his companions, including a teenager, had gone into the Bay for what was supposed to be a routine fishing expedition. However, the sudden onset(发生) of a violent storm had turned their journey into a fight for survival. The boat sustained damage, and their supplies were lost as they faced the violent wind and waves.
As the fishermen held onto hope, their signals caught the attention of Captain Radhika Menon. With strong determination, she initiated a high-risk rescue operation, facing towering waves and strong winds. The urgency was obvious as the crew prepared for the challenge.
Menon strategically moved the tanker, creating a shelter from the storm. A rope was thrown out, connecting the tanker to the easily broken fishing boat. Despite the sea’s fury(猛烈), the fishermen managed to secure the line, and one by one, they were pulled to safety. The rescue, performed through rain and storm, took about 40 minutes. The seven fishermen were finally on the tanker, filled with emotion.
Sixteen months later, Menon’s bravery was recognized on a global stage. In November 2016, she received the IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea. Menon, the first female captain in the Indian Merchant Navy, stated that she had merely finished her duty as a sailor.
The rescued fishermen, speaking emotionally from their homes, described Menon as a hero who had saved their lives. The rescue at sea showcased the firm courage of Captain Radhika Menon and her crew, proving that in the face of danger, true heroes emerge.

People who experienced trauma (精神创伤) as a child or adolescent were found to be 48 percent more likely to have serious and repeated headaches as an adult than those who had not experienced trauma in their early years, according to research published in the journal Neurology. The finding came from the analysis of data from 28 studies, involving 154,739 people.
Overall, nearly one-third of the participants reported having experienced a traumatic event at least once before age 18, and 16 percent had been diagnosed as an adult with a primary headache disorder, which means that their headaches are the main problem, rather than a symptom (症状) of an underlying disease or condition.
The researchers categorized traumatic events as either threat-based (such as physical or emotional abuse, witnessing or being threatened by violence, and serious family conflicts) or deprivation-based (including neglect, financial trouble, parents’ separation, divorce or death, and living in a household with mental illness, alcohol or substance abuse). Physical abuse and exposure to family violence were among the most commonly reported traumas.
Of those who had experienced at least one traumatic event as a youth, 26 percent subsequently were diagnosed with primary headaches, compared with 12 percent of those who had not experienced trauma.
As the number of traumatic events experienced by a child or adolescent increased, so did the odds of their having headaches later in life. For example, those who had experienced four or more traumatic events were more than twice as likely to have a head ache disorder. Also, certain traumas—physical abuse and neglect—were linked to greater risk for headaches than other types of trauma.
The study found an association between trauma as a youth and headache disorder as an adult, rather than direct proof that one led to the other. But the researchers wrote that traumas experienced as a child or adolescent “are important risk factors for primary headache disorders in adulthood,” which one of the researchers described in a statement released by the American Academy of Neurology as “a risk factor that we cannot ignore.”
28．What does the research focus on
A．The different types of trauma experienced by children.
B．The reasons why headaches are so common among adults.
C．The influence that childhood experiences have on later life.
D．The link between childhood trauma and headaches as an adult.
29．Which of the following traumatic events is described as deprivation-based
A．Witnessing violence. B．Physical abuse.
C．The loss of a parent. D．Criticism from teachers.
30．What does the underlined word “odds” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Complexity. B．Frequency. C．Seriousness. D．Chance.
31．What do the researchers say about childhood trauma
A．It causes headaches. B．It deserves attention.
C．It can be prevented. D．It can be life-threatening.
D
With its neatly arranged tables and shelves loaded with books written by women, Greta Livraria’s small space masks its big ambitions. Since opening this year, the bookstore in Lisbon has contributed its space entirely to promote a group that has, for the most part, been overlooked and undervalued by society: female authors.
It is a “form of historical reparation (弥补)”, said Lorena Travassos, the founder of the store that aims to“address the longstanding gap in sales and publications faced by women”. It is the latest in a wave of bookshops that have sprung up across Europe to give voice to female authors, past and present. In Madrid, a 2017 crowdfunding campaign gave rise to Mujeres & Compa ía, while in Berlin the bookshop She Said is devoted to books by female and queer authors (酷儿作家).
Six years ago in Scotland, Rachel Wood launched a book subscription service, Rare Birds, in an effort to support women’s writing. Despite the fact that some of the world’s most talented writers are women, Wood had long felt that respect for women’s writing was insufficient. “I feel so passionately that women are writing such interesting and exciting things,” said Wood. “Rare Birds is an opportunity to share that with other people.”
As interest in the subscription service grew—it now has members from more than 20 countries—a physical shop in Edinburgh soon followed. The shop’s 2021 opening illustrated the demand for a different kind of bookstore, and thousands of people visited on its first weekend. “Over and over, people tell us how exciting it feels to come into the bookstore and see every inch of shelf space devoted to women’s writing,” said Wood. “Visually, it’s very impactful. The space is designed to treat literal types typically viewed as “women’s interest” as equally as any other literature,” said Wood.
Greta Livraria has become the heart of a community that gathers regularly at the store to celebrate its efforts to value diverse perspectives and carve out a literary landscape that better reflects society.
32．Why did Lorena Travassos found Greta Livraria
A．To create a community for book lovers.
B．To provide a space for authors to gather.
C．To help women writers get social attention.
D．To encourage females to achieve their ambitions.
33．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Women’s writing. B．Respect for writers.
C．The book subscription service. D．Rachel Wood’s feeling.
34．What can we learn from Rachel Wood’s words in paragraph 4
A．More and more women are devoted to writing.
B．Physical shops’ opening has contributed to book sales.
C．The status of women’s literature has greatly improved.
D．Bookstores filled with female writing are gaining popularity.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．New Bookstores Give Voice to Female Authors
B．She Said: A Leader in Selling Female-authored Books
C．Greta Livraria: A Pioneer in Promoting Literary Works
D．Bookselling Campaigns Give Rise to the Diversity of Literature

Gardening has taught me that planting and growing a garden is the same process as creating our lives. It begins in the spring, when you break up the soil and start anew. ___39___ The gardener must then make sure that the proper nutrients are correctly mixed in the soil. Then it’s important to aerate the topsoil and leave it loosely packed on the surface.

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。
One day in July, 30 years ago, I was taking a summer class in literature on the campus of SUNY Oneonta in northern New York. Professor James walked into the classroom and announced he'd invited a special guest to class, but his guest had been delayed. The class was filled with curiosity. “Who's coming ”someone asked.
“All I can tell you is that he's the author of one of the books you've read for this class," he said.“I need a volunteer to meet him in the hall of the administration building and escort(护送) him here.
To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own.“What am I doing ” I thought. I never volunteered for anything. I was shy and uncomfortable meeting new people. I pulled my hand down quickly, but it was too late.
"Thanks, David,” Professor James said.“You'd better leave now. He'll be arriving any minute.
Seeing no way to back out, I unwillingly got out of my seat and headed for the classroom door. When I reached it, I stopped.“Umm," I said.“How will I recognize him " Professor James laughed.“Good point," he said. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear.“ Alex Haley," he said.
“Really " I said and left the room. Alex Haley is the author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He was what I wanted to be: a writer.
As I reached the administration building, I found a man with a briefcase standing in the hall. I came up, saying,“Are you Mr. Haley "
“Yes," he said with a loving voice.
“I'm from Professor James's class. Welcome. ”
“Thank you," he said. He extended his hand and we shook hands. He was a man in his forties, medium height, wearing a sports jacket.
On our way to the classroom, I was struck by how approachable this man was. My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose. So I said,“I'd like to become a writer, but I don't know if I have the talent. And how did you discover you had a gift for writing " He stopped and looked at me in the eyes.

M: Yeah. And more and more people will be working at home because of computers.
W: Wow, I’d really love that. Can you imagine spending most of your work week in the comfort of your own home

People who experienced trauma (精神创伤) as a child or adolescent were found to be 48 percent more likely to have serious and repeated headaches as an adult than those who had not experienced trauma in their early years, according to research published in the journal Neurology. The finding came from the analysis of data from 28 studies, involving 154,739 people. 28题 呈现研究结果
根据发表在《神经病学》杂志上的一项研究，在儿童或青少年时期经历过创伤(精神创伤)的人成年后患严重和反复头痛的可能性比那些早年没有经历过创伤的人高48%。这一发现来自对28项研究数据的分析，涉及154739人。
Overall, nearly one-third of the participants reported having experienced a traumatic event at least once before age 18, and 16 percent had been diagnosed as an adult with a primary headache disorder原发性头痛疾病, which means that their headaches are the main problem, rather than a symptom (症状) of an underlying disease or condition.
总体而言，近三分之一的参与者报告在18岁之前至少经历过一次创伤性事件，16%的人被诊断为成年后患有原发性头痛疾病，这意味着他们的头痛是主要问题，而不是潜在疾病或状况的症状。
The researchers categorized traumatic events as either threat-based (such as physical or emotional abuse, witnessing or being threatened by violence, and serious family conflicts) or deprivation-based (including neglect, financial trouble, parents’ separation, divorce or death 29题, and living in a household with mental illness, alcohol or substance abuse). Physical abuse and exposure to family violence were among the most commonly reported traumas.
研究人员将创伤性事件归类为基于威胁的(如身体或情感虐待，目睹或受到暴力威胁，严重的家庭冲突)或基于剥夺的(包括忽视，经济问题，父母分居，离婚或死亡，生活在一个有精神疾病，酗酒或滥用药物的家庭中)。身体虐待和遭受家庭暴力是最常见的创伤。
Of those who had experienced at least one traumatic event as a youth, 26 percent subsequently后来 were diagnosed with primary headaches, compared with 12 percent of those who had not experienced trauma.
在那些年轻时至少经历过一次创伤事件的人中，26%的人后来被诊断为原发性头痛，而没有经历过创伤的人中，这一比例为12%。
As the number of traumatic events experienced by a child or adolescent increased, so did the odds of their having headaches later in life. 30题For example, those who had experienced four or more traumatic events were more than twice as likely to have a head ache disorder. Also, certain traumas—physical abuse and neglect—were linked to greater risk for headaches than other types of trauma.
随着儿童或青少年经历的创伤事件数量的增加，他们在以后的生活中患头痛的几率也会增加。例如，那些经历过四次或更多创伤事件的人患头痛疾病的可能性是常人的两倍多。此外，某些创伤——身体虐待和忽视——与其他类型的创伤相比，更容易引发头痛。
The study found an association between trauma as a youth and headache disorder as an adult, rather than direct proof that one led to the other. But the researchers wrote that traumas experienced as a child or adolescent “are important risk factors for primary headache disorders in adulthood,” which one of the researchers described in a statement released by the American Academy of Neurology as “a risk factor that we cannot ignore.”31题
该研究发现，青少年时期的创伤与成年后的头痛疾病之间存在联系，而不是直接证明两者之间存在因果关系。但研究人员写道，儿童或青少年时期经历的创伤“是成年后原发性头痛疾病的重要风险因素”，其中一名研究人员在美国神经病学学会发表的一份声明中称，这是“我们不能忽视的风险因素”。
28．What does the research focus on
A．The different types of trauma experienced by children.
B．The reasons why headaches are so common among adults.
C．The influence that childhood experiences have on later life.
D．The link between childhood trauma and headaches as an adult.
29．Which of the following traumatic events is described as deprivation-based

C．The loss of a parent. D．Criticism from teachers.
30．What does the underlined word “odds” in paragraph 5 mean

With its neatly arranged tables and shelves loaded with books written by women, Greta Livraria’s small space masks its big ambitions. Since opening this year, the bookstore in Lisbon has contributed its space entirely to promote a group that has, for the most part, been overlooked and undervalued by society: female authors.
摆放整齐的桌子和架子上摆满了女性作家写的书，格里塔·利夫里亚的小空间掩盖了它的远大抱负。自今年开业以来，这家位于里斯本的书店一直致力于推广一个在很大程度上被社会忽视和低估的群体:女性作家。 32题，35题
It is a “form of historical reparation (弥补)”, said Lorena Travassos, the founder of the store that aims to“address the longstanding gap in sales and publications faced by women”.32题 It is the latest in a wave of bookshops that have sprung up across Europe to give voice to female authors, past and present. In Madrid, a 2017 crowdfunding campaign gave rise to Mujeres & Compa ía, while in Berlin the bookshop She Said is devoted to books by female and queer authors (酷儿作家).
该店的创始人洛雷娜·特拉瓦索斯(Lorena Travassos)表示，这是一种“历史补偿的形式(弥补)”，旨在“解决女性在销售和出版方面长期存在的差距”。这是欧洲各地涌现的为过去和现在的女性作家发声的书店浪潮中最新的一家。在马德里，2017年的众筹活动促成了Mujeres & Compa ía书店的诞生，而在柏林，She Said书店专门出售女性和酷儿作家的作品。
Six years ago in Scotland, Rachel Wood launched a book subscription service, Rare Birds, in an effort to support women’s writing. Despite the fact that some of the world’s most talented writers are women, Wood had long felt that respect for women’s writing was insufficient. “I feel so passionately that women are writing such interesting and exciting things,” said Wood. “Rare Birds is an opportunity to share that with other people.”33题
六年前，在苏格兰，雷切尔·伍德(Rachel Wood)推出了一项图书订阅服务“稀有鸟类”(Rare Birds)，以支持女性写作。尽管世界上一些最有才华的作家是女性，但伍德一直觉得对女性写作的尊重不够。伍德说:“看到女性写出如此有趣和令人兴奋的东西，我感到非常激动。”“《稀有鸟类》是一个与他人分享的机会。
As interest in the subscription service grew—it now has members from more than 20 countries—a physical shop in Edinburgh soon followed. The shop’s 2021 opening illustrated the demand for a different kind of bookstore, and thousands of people visited on its first weekend. “Over and over, people tell us how exciting it feels to come into the bookstore and see every inch of shelf space devoted to women’s writing,” said Wood. “Visually, it’s very impactful. The space is designed to treat literal types typically viewed as “women’s interest” as equally as any other literature,” said Wood. 34题
随着人们对订阅服务兴趣的增长——现在它的会员来自20多个国家——爱丁堡的一家实体店也紧随其后。这家书店于2021年开业，说明了人们对一种不同类型书店的需求，开张第一个周末就有数千人前来参观。伍德说:“一遍又一遍，人们告诉我们，走进书店，看到书架上的每一寸都是女性写作，感觉多么兴奋。”“从视觉上看，它非常有影响力。伍德说:“这个空间的设计目的是像对待其他文学作品一样，对待通常被视为‘女性兴趣’的文学类型。”
Greta Livraria has become the heart of a community that gathers regularly at the store to celebrate its efforts to value diverse perspectives and carve out a literary landscape that better reflects society.
Greta Livraria已经成为一个社区的核心，这个社区定期聚集在书店里，庆祝书店重视不同观点的努力，并开创了一个更好地反映社会的文学景观。

Hello,everyone!
Though online voting is widely used, its drawbacks are undeniable. Let me share our concerns about using it to select the top ten campus singers.
Firstly, not all of us have access to the Internet or electronic devices, so the voting result can not reflect the true preferences of the entire student community. Besides, cheating is a significant concern. Contestants may create multiple accounts to vote for themselves or ask for votes from acquaintances. In this way, the voting result fails to show the contestants’ vocal abilities and stage performance.
Overall, while online voting has its benefits, we should also guarantee the fairness and reliability of the contest. Thank you for listening! (108词)

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。
One day in July, 30 years ago, I was taking a summer class in literature on the campus of SUNY Oneonta in northern New York. Professor James walked into the classroom and announced he'd invited a special guest to class, but his guest had been delayed. The class stirred with curiosity被好奇心激起.“Who's coming ”someone asked.
“AIl I can tell you is that he's the author of one of the books you've read for this class," he said.“I need a volunteer to meet him in the hall of the administration building行政大楼 and escort(护送) him here. To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own.“What am I doing ” I thought. I never volunteered for anything. I was shy and uncomfortable meeting new people. I pulled my hand down quickly, but it was too late.
"Thanks, David,” Professor James said.“You'd better leave now. He'll be arriving any minute.
Seeing no way to back out, I unwillingly got out of my seat and headed for the classroom door. When I reached it, I stopped.“Umm," I said.“How will I recognize him " Professor James laughed.“Good point," he said. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear.“ Alex Haley," he said.
“Really " I said and left the room. Alex Haley is the author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He was what I wanted to be: a writer.
As I reached the administration building, I found a man with a briefcase公文包 standing in the hall. I came up, saying,“Are you Mr. Haley "
“Yes," he said with a loving voice.
“I'm from Professor James's class. Welcome. ”
“Thank you," he said. He extended his hand and we shook hands. He was a man in his forties, medium height, wearing a sports jacket.
On our way to the classroom, I was struck by how approachable 亲切友善的；易理解的；可接近的 this man was. My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose. So I said, “I'd like to become a writer, but I don't know if I have the talent. And how did you discover you had a gift for writing " He stopped and looked at me in the eyes.

“Writing is not just about talent,” he said. “I learned to write through practice and persistence.” After a pause, he continued, "If you want to become a writer, do not worry about whether you have some magical gift and just put in the work. Write every day, and do not give up until you succeed.” As we walked, he shared his experiences as a writer, the challenges he faced and the joy of seeing his words come to life on the page. I extended my sincere thanks to him for his advice. We arrived at the classroom before I knew it.
After my conversation with Alex Haley that day, I found a newfound confidence in my desire to become a writer. I no longer obsessed（对…）着迷的，（受…）困扰的 over whether I had the gift or talent to become a writer. Instead, I started writing every day. Within two years, I published three stories in national children's magazines. I have been writing and publishing ever since. Had I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man and communicated with him about writing, I would have never received the benefit of his wise advice and the rewards that followed.
