1、The Miyun Reservoir (水库) near Beijing plays an important role in providing water to the capital. But not many people know this major project was actually designed by a group of university students as their graduation project. In 1959, under Jiang Nanxiang, the then headmaster of Tsinghua University, who encouraged his students to combine theory with practice, students from the Department of Hydraulic Engineering set about the project.
This is one of the stories told in the new season of Century Masters, which focuses on 11 noted educators, among them Peking University head Cai Yuanpei, promoter of mass education Tao Xingzhi and physical education advocate Jiang Nanxiang, which aired on China Education Television in March, 2024.
Produced by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Century Masters is dedicated to people renowned for their mastery in different areas. Earlier seasons focused on famous artists, architects and writers. According to Chen Hong, the general director for the series, the new season seeks to preserve and protect the educational practices, ideas and progress of the subjects, and nurture young people in the process. "We want to crystallize the wisdom and sweat of countless educators, a precious heritage for future generations, and open a window to showcase the country's progress. Many of them also made great achievements in other areas. This series, however, focuses on their contributions to education", says Chen.
Unlike artists who produce physical creations, the contributions of educators are often theoretical, and so are difficult to show visually. To deal with this, the series brought the educators to life by illustrating their ideas through snapshots (快照) of their work and life. The two episodes (一集) about Ma Yuehan, a pioneer in advocating for physical education at Tsinghua University, explore his habit of regular exercise maintained since childhood, his participation in national and international competitions at university, and the way in which he benefited from being in good health.

2、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Penny had always believed she was born to act. Every night, she practiced lines in front of her bedroom mirror, perfecting graceful moves like the actresses in her favorite movies. When her middle school announced The Twelve Dancing Princesses, she spent weeks preparing — even borrowing her sister Diana's ballet shoes, though they pinched (挤痛) her feet. "Pain is part of the art," she told herself, imagining the strict drama teacher Mr. Ellison nodding in approval.
But on casting day, her name was nowhere on the list. Mr. Ellison offered her a job on the stage crew (工作人员) instead. "You'll learn how theater really works," he said. Penny forced a smile, hiding her disappointment.
Backstage life was quieter than she expected. Penny wore all black, disappearing into the shadows during rehearsals (排练). Sometimes, she mouthed the princesses' lines silently, her hands tracing an imaginary crown.
Opening night arrived as scheduled, but the lead actress got injured minutes before the curtain. Mr. Ellison scanned the crew, searching for someone who could step in. Here came an opportunity! Penny's hand shot up. "I know the lines!" she said. He hesitated but handed her the princess's dress.
Unfortunately, the performance was a disaster. She stumbled over dances, mixed up scenes, and tripped up a prince. The audience's laughter echoed in her ears. Afterward, she ran to her room, sobbing. Her sister Diana found her curled under the blankets. "Come," she said, leading Penny to the roof.
The night sky stretched endlessly. "Some stars can't be seen now," Diana murmured, "but their light is already traveling. It just takes time to reach us." Penny wiped her tears. "What if my light never comes?" Diana squeezed her hands. "It will. You just have to keep trying."
Weeks later, Penny saw a poster for a new play: A Midsummer Night's Dream. Auditions (试镜) were open and she was familiar with the character Helena. That night, Penny climbed to the roof alone. A single star flickered weakly. She traced its light with her finger, her sister's words ringing in her ears.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Para. 1: "Why not try one more time?" Penny said to herself.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2: On opening night, Penny stood behind the curtain.

13、课本原文填空
Customs play a role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with business taking of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much for the public to spend more on gifts for their ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.

14、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sleep tourism, the newest addition to the ever-growing wellness travel industry, is (rapid) gaining popularity among travelers looking for rest. This trend differs from traditional tourism, is mostly about visiting interesting places and attractions, and instead, (focus) on offering travelers a good night's sleep and returning home refreshed.
One of the features of sleep tourism is the attention given to the guest's sleeping experience. Hotels try their best (provide) guests with the perfect sleep environment and offer services like comfortable bedding, ambient lighting, and white noise machines. Some even provide sleep (waiter) who can give advice on how to develop healthy sleep habits.
Additionally, the biggest benefits of sleep tourism is its impact our mental health. In today's fast-paced world, it's not uncommon for people to suffer from stress and anxiety. A good night's sleep, combined with the (peace) environment and sleep-promoting activities (offer) by sleep tourism destinations, can help reduce these symptoms improve overall well-being.
However, it's important to remember, while sleep tourism can provide a much-needed escape from the stress of daily life, one-off sleep vacation will not solve long-term sleep issues. Healthy sleep is a result of consistent sleep habits and routines, not just a few restful nights.

15、My son had an intriguing idea for my birthday. "You want me to go…zip-lining (高空滑索)?"
"Come on," Marty1. "You only turn 72 once."
"I'll think about it." I hoped that would be the2, but Marty arrived full of excitement the next day. I couldn't3 him.
We came to the adventure park, getting4 and instructions. Thankfully, the5 was separated into stations, with the zip lines gradually getting longer and higher.
"I'm6 that we're doing this together," Marty said. "It's going to be an awesome memory." I tried to7 I could do all things, I reminded myself. But I was still completely8.
The first line was 50 feet long and 20 feet in the air. Marty went first. When my9 came, the leader helped me into the equipment. It seemed not that long but I was still10 when I reached the other side. I pushed myself through station after station, until11 we arrived at the second to last one. As I12, something was different.

"Wasn't that fun?" Marty shouted as we14 the final station.
"Yes!" I said. With the help from the wind — and my15 son — I was ready to zip into turning 72.

16、How to build a healthy self-image
Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image.
Praise others sincerely. Did you notice something good in another person? Praise it. The more you're able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you'll feel with yourself. This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth.
Experience and express gratitude. Practicing gratitude is another way to fight the unkind inner voice that may shape your self-image. Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you're thankful for. As you're writing a journal, try to notice what you're grateful for and what role you play in those things.
We'll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don't expect to sit for half an hour right away. With more practice, meditating for 10 or 20 minutes daily could be your new routine.
Take social media breaks. While it's a big part of our lives, social media can be a huge contributing factor to our self-image. On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. That's why it's important to take breaks from the digital world.
It's a continual process to develop a healthy self-image, but through meaningful practices, you can find a better self.
A. Set strict goals for self-growth.
B. Take action for self-growth with patience.
C. These actions contribute to a positive self-view.
D. Self-image is the personal view that we have of ourselves.
E. So, we will look down on ourselves if we're looking at it too much.
F. A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being.
G. By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you.

17、People say they prefer a short story written by a human over one composed by AI, yet most still devote the same amount of time and money to read both stories regardless of whether it is (标记) labeled as AI-generated. That was the main finding of a recent study to test whether this preference for humans over AI in creative works actually translates into consumer behavior.
To investigate, we asked ChatGPT 4 to create a short story in the style of the popular fiction author Jason Brown. We recruited over 650 participants, offering each $3.50 to read and assess the AI-written story. Importantly, half of the participants were told it was AI-written, while the other half were made to think it was the work of Jason Brown.
After reading the first half of the AI-written story, participants were asked to rate the quality of the work along various dimensions, such as whether they found it predictable, emotionally engaging and so on. We also measured participants' willingness to pay in order to read to the end of the story in two ways: how much money and how much time they'd agree to spend reading some text we gave them.
So, were there differences between the two groups? The group that knew the story was AI-written judged it more negatively. However, participants were ready to spend the same amount of money and time to finish reading the story whether or not it was labeled as AI. Participants also did not spend less time actually reading the AI-labeled story. When asked afterward, almost 40% of participants said they would have paid less if the same story was written by AI, highlighting that many are not aware of the difference between their subjective (主观的) judgement and actual choices.
Attitudes toward AI are still forming. Future research could investigate whether there will be a resistance (抵制) against AI-generated creative works. A related question is whether the market will segment, where some consumers will be willing to pay more based on the process of creation, while others may be interested only in the product.
(1)、What did the study focus on?A、The differences between human and AI writing styles. B、Consumers' preference for Jason Brown's short stories. C、ChatGPT 4's ability to compose stories favored by humans. D、Effect of people's love for human-written stories on behavior.(2)、What can we infer about the participants from paragraph 4?A、They all thought highly of the AI-written story. B、They spent more time on the human-written story. C、Their subjective judgement didn't match their choices. D、Their reading habits were affected by their personal likes.(3)、What does the underlined word "segment" in paragraph 5 mean?A、Stay unified. B、Divide into parts. C、Expand quickly. D、Remain unchanged.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards AI-generated works?A、Approving. B、Doubtful. C、Objective. D、Indifferent. -
18、Have you ever wondered why you choose one food over another? Scientists in Australia have made an interesting discovery. They found that what we see right before looking at food can influence our food decisions. This finding could change how we market food, design restaurant menus, and even treat eating disorders.
Professor David Alais from the University of Sydney led the study. His team ran an experiment with 600 people. They showed the participants hundreds of food images one by one. The participants had to move a slider and click to rate how attractive the food looked and guess its calorie content.
After analyzing the results carefully, they discovered something called serial dependence (序列依赖). This means that if you saw a food you really liked or thought had a high calorie count, you were more likely to rate the next food higher than you normally would. On the other hand, if the previous food didn't look good to you, the next one would probably get a lower rating. This effect is automatic (自动的), just like when the wind blows on your skin or you see a bright red flash. It's related to how our senses work, and it's connected to a part of the brain that scientists have only recently learned about.
This could affect how we make choices on delivery apps or digital restaurant menus, where consumers are faced with food decisions based on many images of food. Maybe the food that seems more attractive isn't really the one we want the most. It could be because the previous image made it seem better. Restaurants and marketers can also benefit from this knowledge. Restaurants can arrange their menus to make customers like more profitable dishes. For example, they can put high-profit items after some really attractive food pictures.
After further research is carried out, this could also be used in the treatment of eating disorders. They can use this "simple sensory process" to help those who overeat or undereat change the way they think about food.
(1)、What were the participants expected to do in the study?A、Grade the appearance of the food. B、Design suitable restaurant menus. C、Guess the calorie of the eaten food. D、Click on the attractive food images.(2)、What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A、How serial dependence is applied. B、How serial dependence works. C、What influences serial dependence. D、What causes serial dependence.(3)、How can restaurants make profits according to paragraph 4?A、By choosing pretty food images. B、By arranging free delivery services. C、By making decisions for customers. D、By adjusting the sequence of items.(4)、Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A、New Reasons Why We Make Food Choices B、Important Facts about Our Food Marketing C、Several Good Ways to Treat Eating Disorder D、The Unusual Discoverer of Serial Dependence -
19、Six years ago, the Royal Horticultural Society drew attention to the challenges faced by plant nurseries (苗圃). Citing pressures such as an ageing customer base, the gardening charity warned that nurseries — the "lifeblood of gardening in the UK" — were becoming increasingly uncommon. Since then, there have been yet further shutdowns, including family rose specialist Cants of Colchester.
But there is hope. A new generation of young gardeners is breathing life into an old trade, opening up exciting nurseries across Britain and Ireland. Jonny Bruce is one of these new gardeners, who started the Field Nursery. With the help of his part-time worker and friend Daniel James, the nursery already has two greenhouses and a shed (工具棚) for potting plants. Jonny Bruce hopes to start selling plants in the autumn.
Bruce's love for growing plants started during his training at Great Dixter in East Sussex. "I was really inspired by how the nursery and the garden worked together," he says. "I knew by the end of it that I wanted to work in a nursery." Bruce spent the next four-and-a-half years working in the Netherlands. There, he saw many new plants and was inspired by their passion for protecting the environment.
Returning to the UK, he looked for land to start his own nursery. "I got really lucky. A developer had bought this field as part of a larger land package, but couldn't build on it. They needed to do something positive with the land, so I was able to achieve that with my proposal — that's what made this whole project possible."
Bruce views the Field Nursery as an opportunity to increase biodiversity. He and Daniel are planting many native trees and making habitats for insects. This stress on nature provision (供给) challenges the plant nursery of the past. It shows that nurseries can function in harmony with wildlife. Jonny says, "It's hard work, but we feel we can do so much with the land to connect people — it's really exciting."
(1)、Why does the author mention Cants of Colcheste?A、To show the struggles faced by UK nurseries. B、To compare different kinds of plant nurseries. C、To explain the reasons for nursery shutdowns. D、To examine pressures of the gardening charity.(2)、What do we know about Bruce?A、He started his own nursery by accident. B、He has profited from running a nursery. C、He learned about nurseries from training. D、He was born with love for plant growing.(3)、What made his nursery possible according to Bruce?A、Passion for being independent. B、Support of a land developer. C、Positive action to look for funds. D、Inspiration from new plants.(4)、Which of the following best describes the Field Nursery?A、Traditional. B、Ordinary. C、Well-protected. D、Environment-friendly. -
