At just 12 years old, Mia DaPonte has made history by becoming the youngest female Master Scuba Diver in
the United States. This honorable title, awarded by organizations like PADI, represents an advanced level of
training that most divers never achieve. Mia’s remarkable journey began with a simple inspiration: learning that her
mother had been a certified diver since high school.
Despite her early interest, Mia had to wait until the minimum age of 10 to begin formal training. On her tenth
birthday, she started in the challenging waters near her Rhode Island home — known for cold temperatures and
poor visibility. Earning her initial Open Water Diver certificate required persistence, a quality her instructors
immediately recognized. One noted, “She sets her mind to something and gets it done.”
Over the next two years, Mia dedicated herself to the demanding process. PADI courses combine practical
diving with classroom study, and Mia progressed through several learning skills like first aid, underwater
navigation, and fish identification. Her mother became her constant “diving buddy” by enrolling in the same
courses, providing crucial support. Mia’s commitment is reflected in her 78 logged dives, far more than the 50
required for master certification.
The final step presented a unique challenge: Mia had to wait until she turned 12 to take her last two required
courses. To complete the Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver certifications, her family traveled to Mexico.
There, on her 12th birthday, she passed the advanced course. The next day, she faced the strenuous Rescue Diver
test, which included multiple dives and demonstrating the ability to rescue and bring back to life an unconscious
adult diver — the most difficult task of all.
While proud of her accomplishment, Mia sees it as just the beginning. She plans to pursue further diving
education and dreams of becoming a marine biologist, with a special passion for studying sharks through tagging
and tracking.
4. What made Mia’s early training in Rhode Island particularly difficult
A. A lack of qualified diving instructors. B. Challenging storms and currents.
C. Cold and low-visibility water conditions. D. The absence of required persistence.
5. What was key to Mia’s progress during her two-year training
A. Her mother’s participation as her partner. B. The simplicity of the PADI course system.
C. Her natural talent for underwater navigation. D. Financial support for international travel.
6. What does the word “strenuous” in paragraph 4 most likely mean
A. Tough and demanding. B. Enjoyable and relaxing.
C. Complex and discouraging. D. Advanced and rewarding.
7. What does Mia’s plan for the future show about her
A. She is satisfied with her current accomplishment.
B. She views diving only as a personal hobby.
C. She hopes to become a professional diving coach.
D. She aims to connect her passion with science.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D

In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity
by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or
are they just another form of digital noise
The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief,
often turning to our smartphones. While there’s little evidence that our inborn ability to focus has declined, habits
like multitasking and frequent digital interruptions can make us more easily distracted. To fight this, apps like the
popular “Focus Friend” have emerged.
These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual
character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you
complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for
your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. It also uses the “commitment and consistency” principle —
starting a timer feels like a promise to yourself, which you’re then motivated to keep.
However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed
gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模
式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but
enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality.
If you decide to try a focus app, use it wisely. Schedule specific sessions for well-defined tasks, and notice the
urge to check your phone without acting on it. After a week, critically assess if the app helped you make real
progress. Be mindful of possible problems: these apps can’t judge your work’s value, so you might stay “focused”
on unimportant tasks. Ultimately, while an app can help handle the pull of your phone, lasting focus requires
internal discipline — learning to notice sudden distracting wants and consciously choosing to return to what
matters.
8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Smartphones are the main source of distraction.
B. Our natural focus ability has greatly weakened.
C. Self-discipline lies at the heart of focus problems.
D. Multitasking is an effective way to get work done.
9. How does “Focus Friend” try to guide users’ behavior
A. By completely blocking access to a banned app.
B. By using psychological tricks and instant rewards.
C. By offering professional consulting sessions.
D. By simplifying phone functions to grayscale mode.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the current research on focus apps
A. Strongly supportive. B. Cautiously doubtful.
C. Clearly disapproving. D. Fully convinced.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Focus Apps: Productivity Tools or Digital Noise
B. Focus Apps: Effective Solutions or Passing Trends
C. The Psychological Principles Behind Focus Apps
D. The Limitations of Gamified Focus Apps
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A

In an innovative leap for dental care, scientists at King’s College London have developed a truly
unconventional toothpaste. Its unique ingredient Sheep’s wool. This surprising base material marks a significant
departure from traditional toothpaste formulas and opens a new chapter in the pursuit of advanced oral health
solutions, challenging our insights of what everyday products can be made from.
The core objective of this research is to address a fundamental limitation in dentistry (牙 科 ): the body’s
inability to regenerate lost tooth enamel (牙釉质). Unlike other tissues, damaged adult teeth cannot self-repair. The
scientists believe that this novel toothpaste does more than just protect teeth; it aims to actively help repair
damaged enamel, offering a potential solution to a long-standing medical challenge.
The research method centered on a specific protein: keratin (角 蛋 白 ). Inspired by keratin’s role in
strengthening biological structures like hair and nails, the team assumed it could imitate (模 仿 ) enamel. They
extracted keratin from sheep’s wool and investigated its interaction with oral environments. The key experiment
involved mixing the wool-extracted keratin with saliva (唾液) to observe if it could attract minerals and assemble
them into a durable, enamel-like structure in laboratory conditions.
The experimental results were promising. The keratin, when combined with saliva, successfully guided
minerals to form a crystal structure remarkably similar to natural enamel. In lab tests, applying this keratin-based
paste effectively repaired holes in damaged enamel. Dr. Elsharkawy noted that the created material achieved a
strength comparable to natural enamel, confirming their biological-inspired approach.
The significance of this finding is twofold. Firstly, it offers a safer alternative. Current repair methods often
use potentially risky materials, whereas the keratin method relies on natural ingredients. Secondly, it highlights
remarkable effectiveness and aesthetics, producing a stronger and more natural-looking repair. Furthermore, it
introduces a sustainable angle by using keratin from typically wasted sources, like sheep’s wool or even human hair.
The research paves the way for a future where dental repair is safer, more effective, and environmentally conscious,
ultimately aiming to improve the quality of life for countless individuals.
12. What is the most unconventional aspect of the new toothpaste
A. Its focus on enamel repair. B. Its use of wool as a base material.
C. Its insight into everyday products. D. Its promotion of advanced oral health.
13. According to the study, which of the following is true about keratin
A. It serves as the cleaning agent in the paste.
B. It is directly extracted from human teeth.
C. It can guide the formation of an enamel-like structure.
D. It can repair holes in damaged enamel.
14. What is the significance of the research finding according to the passage
A. It introduces a new way to address wasted natural ingredients.
B. It proves the value of biological-inspired approaches.
C. It offers a cheaper and faster dental repair method.
D. It provides a safer and more sustainable dental treatment.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To introduce a new study and explore its future prospect.
B. To explain why human teeth are unable to self-repair.
C. To describe the unusual material of a new toothpaste.
D. To compare different methods of dental repair.

How To Support Your Gut (肠胃) For Better Digestion

feels heavy out of nowhere. That kind of gut can be frustrating, especially when you worry about eating your
favorite foods.____16____Just simple care that fits into real life. Here are some small habits that support digestion

day can keep your stomach happy, which helps digestion work smoothly. It reduces surprise hunger or bloating.
When meals feel predictable, your gut feels more settled.
Manage Stress Levels.
Stress can slow digestion, trigger bloating, or cause cramps (痉挛). Calming your nervous system supports
your gut. When life gets stressful, do things that help you relax: meditate, read a favorite book, or journal. Find
what works for you. A few minutes of hobby time makes a world of difference.____19____
Supporting your gut doesn’t require dramatic diet changes.____20____Small adjustments to your daily habits
will work. Drinking water in the morning helps. Eating at steady times, too. When you care for your gut like this,
meals feel lighter, digestion feels smoother over time, and that heavy feeling shows up less. Food feels enjoyable
again. Your gut listens when you treat it kindly.

47. 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。
“Why are you wearing your red dress ” asked Sherry, a girl in my sixth-grade class. The look on my face must
have indicated that I didn’t understand the question. She asked again. “Your red dress...Why are you wearing it
Today is a blue-dress day.”
I rarely noticed what other people wore, so it never occurred to me that anyone would notice I had only two
school dresses: a red dress with little yellow flowers and a blue one. The red dress was my favorite, so I wore it on
Mondays and Tuesdays, the blue one on Wednesdays and Thursdays, then back to red each Friday.
“Oh,” I stammered. “I dropped chili on it yesterday. I, uh, can’t wear it until Mama washes it.” There was no
judgment in Sherry’s question, just curiosity. For the first time in my life, though, I wondered, “Do my friends feel
sorry for me Am I poor ”
After school, I hung my red dress in the closet I shared with my sister and went outside to sulk (生闷气). I
climbed to the lowest branch of an oak tree and stared at my tiny house. My mother had bought it six months earlier,
shortly after my father died from a heart attack.
I made friends in our new town and visited their homes. Sherry lived in a brand-new house with a piano in her
living room; another friend’s huge old house had more rooms than I could count. Still, my friends preferred coming
to my house probably because they were crazy about my mom, who baked chocolate cakes or buttered biscuits,
played board games with us after supper, and read books in her soft voice. Their parents were nice but never played
with us.
I’d never compared my clothes, my little house, or my life with anyone else’s until that day.
Mom called through the screen door for me to set the table. I climbed down and shuffled into the kitchen. She
was mashing potatoes in a big bowl. I reached for dinner plates, asking softly, “Mama, are we poor ”

【答案】Possible version：
I thought my question might make her feel bad. Instead, she asked, “What do you mean by ‘poor ’” “You
know, not enough clothes or a big house to live.” “We don’t have extra money,” she answered, “but we get by. We
live in a warm house and love each other.” She added, “I bought you something today.” It is a hardcover book —
the one I had been longing for. I excitedly threw my arms around Mom. “I thought you might want to start on it
after your homework,” she said as she returned my hug. “Right now, finish setting the table and call your sister
before these biscuits get cold.”
A few minutes later, I settled at the table with the new book mom bought for me. After the prayer, we reached
for tasty dishes. Mom spooned mashed potatoes onto my plate and said, “I washed and ironed your blue dress today.
You can wear it tomorrow.” “I’ll wear the red one tomorrow,” I claimed. Enough to get by I had more than that. I
didn’t have fancy dresses, a grand house or a piano, but I was blessed with an amazing mother. She worked hard,
played hard, and loved easily. Despite the hard blows of life, Mama chose joy and contentment. I was rich in every
way that mattered.
