The need for speed is so deeply rooted in modern society that we often forget to press pause and think about the things that get (good) with time:antiques, aged wine, long-term relationships and expertise over the years.
Peking Opera is a slow process too. An often-repeated saying goes as follows:Three minutes on stage, 10 years stage. It's meant as a nod to its demanding nature and a reminder of its high standards that ensure that any performance (do) the way the forefathers wanted it.
Peking Opera is demanding because of the extensive list of skills it (require). A performer is an actor, singer, dancer, acrobat, mime and martial artist all rolled into one. They're also expected (apply) delicate make-up, put on heavy costumes and, (depend) on their character, perform on stage in 15cm platform shoes.
There is so much to take in disciples(学徒) usually start their career as young children, spending years conditioning their bodies and minds for the stage.
So what chance does theatre beginner with little patience and zero flexibility like me stand against Peking Opera? Do I have what it takes to put on a (success) show? There's only one way to find out: I'm rolling up my sleeves and training under the (guide) of senior stage masters in the field.

If a cheetah(猎豹), a wolf and a well-trained human all entered a marathon, who would win?
The cheetah would definitely take an early 1 . The wolf would probably pass the cheetah after a few miles. But at the end of the 26 miles, the human would be the first to cross the 2 line.
Humans have only two legs but a(n) 3 capacity for running. Our powerful lungs give us the stamina needed to run great distances. And because we can sweat, we can control our body 4 while we run. Why are we so good at running? Running was necessary for early human 5 . Of course, we don't often need to run for survival these days.

3、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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.
We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time.
"I adore dancing," says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. "I can't imagine doing anything else with my life." Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. "Teaching dance is wonderful. It's great to watch them. For many of them, it's a way of meeting people and having a social life."
"I can tell you about one young couple," says Bridges. "They're learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. ."
So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says, "Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better. I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I'm alive."
A. So why do we dance?
B. Dance in the U. S. is everywhere.
C. If you like dancing outdoors, come to America.
D. I keep practicing even when I 'm extremely tired.
E. My older students say it makes them feel young.
F. Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.
G. They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.

According to new studies, many birds in the Amazon rainforest have become smaller as temperatures have increased. The difference hasn't been obvious, but it has been significant enough that some scientists have suggested it's a universal response to climate change.
But new research finds that the body size reductions aren't happening across the board with some large - brained birds having much less significant changes.
For the study, researchers studied some data on about 70, 000 birds that had died when they crashed into buildings in Chicago from 1978 to 2016. They added data on brain volume and lifespan(寿命) for 49 of the 52 species of migratory birds(候鸟) in the original study.
They found that birds with very large brains had reductions in overall body size that were about one-third of the reductions noted in birds with smaller brains. They thought that in birds, the species with big brains are the ones that build tools, manage to survive in tough environments, live longer, invest more time and energy into raising babies, and end up surviving better in the wild.
Researchers aren't certain exactly how warmer temperatures might lead to decreasing body size in birds, but they are considering two possible explanations, which could even be happening at the same time. First, natural selection might be favoring birds that can dissipate heat better. This is because smaller birds have higher ratios(比例) of surface area to volume, so being small can help birds stay cool. Second, warmer summers might have less food available for birds at the time when they are feeding their babies. In that case, birds might be getting smaller because of decreased food over the years.
The findings don't suggest that climate change is having zero impact on bigger-brained birds, but researchers believe these findings can info rm us of climate change and help set conservation priorities.
(1)、 How does climate change affect birds?A、Their brain size expands. B、Their lifespan shortens. C、Their body temperature rises. D、Their body size shrinks.(2)、How did the scientists do the research?A、By analyzing the bird data. B、By observing the birds dying. C、By studying the bird death rate. D、By clarifying the bird species.(3)、Which word can best replace the underlined word "dissipate" in paragraph 5?A、absorb B、lose C、hold D、use(4)、 What can be the best title for the text?A、Birds' Body Sizes Vary B、Brain Size Matters for Birds C、Climate changes Sharply D、Temperature Rises Globally -

My Biggest Challenge
As a writer on an adventure sports magazine, I'd always fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language. Thus, when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity and to write about it afterwards. I was unwilling, to say the least.
I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques I'd never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak I'd be climbing.
Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hike s with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountain s to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.
All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work I'd done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure I'd experience myself. With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.
And as I sit here now, tapping away on my laptop, I'm amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb: the burning muscles, the tiredness, the minor problems along the way. Could I have been better prepared? Possibly. Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not. The feeling of being excited when I stood on top of the world is a never-to-be-repeated experience but one I will enjoy forever nevertheless.
(1)、 At the beginning of the activity, the author revealed his ____.A、disappointment in the coming adventure. B、expectation of writing about his experience. C、lack of enthusiasm for the challenge he'd been offered. D、curiosity about taking part in the mountain climb for charity.(2)、What did the author realize during his climb training?A、The knowledge about climbing was really confusing. B、The equipment was the key factor to reach the peak. C、Climbing was much more complicated than expected. D、Hard training was far more important than making plans.(3)、 How did the author feel after he succeeded in climbing the mountain?A、He was relieved that he wouldn't have to do it again. B、He was well satisfied that he had done his best for it. C、He was surprised that he had managed to complete it. D、He was regretful that it wasn't as smooth as imagined. -

7、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。
In 2022, Mary Griffis found herself drowned in sorrow after her brother Peter's heart-breaking accidental death. In the months that followed, Griffis had to navigate the overwhelming experience of both feeling sad at her brother's death and being consumed by the tough tasks of settling Peter's affairs, too much paperwork and endless phone calls.
"It's hard to explain just how tiring it is to have to call again and again and say 'I'm calling on behalf of my late brother...' day in and day out for months and months," Griffis said.
When all the arrangements had been made and Peter's house had been sold, Griffis didn't know what to do with herself.
"What do I do now?" Griffis thought, "Well, I think my brother would want me to do something that makes me happy."
So she decided to do something that she'd always wanted to do: learn how to drive a manual transmission (手动变速器) car.
Griffis thought it was really fun. She liked not just the joy, the sense of freedom of driving and not really having to go anywhere, but also learning something new. She thought it was very comforting for some strange reason.
Griffis enjoyed it so much that she decided to buy a car with a manual transmission. She found one that fit her budget and went and picked it up from the dealership. After pulling out of the lot, everything was fine for about two or three miles. Then she hit heavy traffic on a narrow, two-way road. Her engine died and there was no breakdown lane. She took a deep breath and tried to start the car a few times, but it wouldn't go.
And at this point, because of the traffic, people were so angry. They were urging her to move aside; they were honking (鸣喇叭) and some people even rolled down their windows and shouted as they slowly bypassed her car. But she just couldn't start her car. As people gathered around her, Griffis became more and more nervous.

Embracing a Green Lifestyle
Living a green lifestyle is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and wallet. Here are some steps to embrace a green lifestyle.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. These three simple words can make a big difference in your daily life. Whether it's using a reusable water bottle or shopping bag, these small actions can reduce waste and pollution.
Conserve water and electricity. Be mindful of your water and electricity usage. Simple habits like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth or switching off lights when not in use can save a lot of energy.
When shopping, opt for products that are made from sustainable materials and have minimal packaging. Remember to check the labels for certifications that indicate eco-friendliness. This not only helps to reduce waste but also supports companies that are committed to environmental protection.
Grow your own food. Planting a small vegetable garden or even a few herbs in pots can be a rewarding experience. It's a great way to ensure you're eating fresh and healthy food while also reducing your carbon footprint.
Use public transportation, carpool, or bike. Instead of driving alone, consider using public transportation, carpooling, or biking to work or school. This can significantly reduce your carbon emissions and improve air quality.
A. Choose eco-friendly products.
B. This is the essence of a green lifestyle.
C. It's easy to get started with these practices.
D. Try to minimize the use of single-use items.

12、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
For centuries, explorers have searched for the fountain of youth. Surprisingly, the secret to staying young might have been within us all along. Amor, a scientist, and colleagues have discovered that T cells can be reprogrammed to fight aging, so to speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white blood cells can attack another group of cells known as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thought to be responsible for many of the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are those that stop replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in our bodies, resulting in some diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly over time. As an alternative, Amor and colleagues turned to a "living" drug called CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cells.
They discovered CAR T cells could be used to rid of senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lower body weight, improved metabolism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. All these came without any tissue damage or side effects.
Perhaps the greatest power of CAR T cells is their long-lasting effects. The team found that just one dose (一剂) at a young age can have lifelong effects. That single treatment can protect against conditions that commonly occur later in life.
"T cells have the ability to develop memory and exist in your body for really long periods, which is very different from a chemical drug," Amor explained.
Amor's lab is now investigating whether CAR T cells let mice live not only healthier but also longer. If so, society will be one step closer to the fountain of youth.
(1)、What discovery have scientists made about T cells and aging?A、T cells cause aging. B、T cells can fight aging. C、Senescent cells are T cells. D、Aging is caused by genetic changes.(2)、 What does the underlined word "eliminate" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Sustain. B、Remove. C、Cue. D、Polish.(3)、Which effect of CAR T cells on young mice does the text emphasize?A、Short-term activity increase. B、Immediate weight reduction. C、Lifelong health enhancement. D、Temporary metabolic improvement.(4)、 What is Amor's attitude to the future of employing CAR T cells?A、Doubtful. B、Unclear. C、Critical. D、Optimistic. -

The world's oceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change, growing demand, urbanization, and pollution, threatening their ability to sustain life.
"Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective," said the co-founder of a technology company. "Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can't balance back anymore," he explains.
The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fishlike robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim likefish. The standard version is about 1.3 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors to measure oxygen, salinity (盐度) and pH levels.
The founder was motivated to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter learned about the ocean crisis and asked him to help protect the seas. He says it's important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly.
The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals.
Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world's waterways. "We need capital to commercialize," said the CEO, "but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways." The founder hopes more funding will follow. He said, "Investors should absolutely wake up."
(1)、What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs?A、To introduce the topic of the text. B、To state the importance of the text. C、To explain the urgency of water resources. D、To weaken the seriousness of water pollution.(2)、 Which is an advantage of the robots?A、They can lead other fishes. B、They can easily catch children's eyes. C、They work efficiently under the water. D、They can swim without being recharged.(3)、What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A、The launch of a new program. B、The application of the technology. C、The management of the company. D、The development of the company.(4)、 What problem does the company face currently?A、How to make people focus on technology. B、How to keep investors positive. C、How to produce more robots. D、How to collect more money. -

Juleus Ghunta is a published children's author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta's family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home.

Today, he is the author of two children's books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He's now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
