How to Keep Personal Art Journals
You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions. Typical journaling involves only writing. .

Art journaling is a way to practice self-care. It encourages you to take a little time for yourself—even if it's just for 15 minutes a day. When you look back at what you've written or drawn, you can gain valuable insight into the challenges in your life. The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece. .

During Yang Zhongkai's early years, a 500-year-old majestic ginkgo(银杏) tree that did not sprout leaves for two to three years at a stretch used to be a daily sight for him on his way to and from high school. Since villagers widely regarded the tree as having the power to make their wishes come true, they used to kneel down in front of the "lucky" tree and burn offerings under it, which led to prolonged heat exposure at its roots, stunting its growth.
"Millions of such old trees are in urgent need of protection given their importance as vital biological resources and symbols of ecological civilization," said Yang, who started the team—Zhiyue—dedicated to protecting ancient trees. "But the recording and management of ancient and famous trees nationwide commonly rely on Excel spreadsheets (电子表格), which present issues such as information silos, lack of real-time updates and incomplete content," he said.
However, things have changed of late. Yang and his team now use the artificial intelligence technology developed by Tencent Cloud to identify and register trees accurately based on individual traits and GPS tracking. "With the acceleration of a new generation of technological revolution and industrial transformation, new technologies bring more excitement to the protection of ancient trees," Yang said. "We can now collect data on the trees' growth, health and environment in real time, which helps us make informed decisions on how to better protect them."
"In addition to applying cutting-edge technologies such as AI and large models to assist in the development of traditional industries, the company also makes great efforts to promote the development of charitable causes through technological and platform advantages," Wu. Yunsheng said, vice-president of Tencent Cloud, adding that "the power of technology can change the world".
(1)、What does the underlined word "stunting" in paragraph I probably mean?A、Preventing. B、Boosting. C、Keeping. D、Recording.(2)、What can we infer about Tencent Cloud's new technology?A、It will replace Excel spreadsheets in the future. B、It is an effective tool to protect ancient trees. C、It will be widely used in modern industries. D、It has remarkable advantages over other AI.(3)、What is Wu Yunsheng's attitude towards the application of technology?A、Skeptical. B、Cautious. C、Supportive. D、Indifferent.(4)、What's the purpose of the passage?A、To emphasize the importance of technology. B、To show technology's aid to ancient trees. C、To introduce Tencent Cloud's new function. D、To arouse the awareness of protecting trees. -

Thomas Bogle has worked in the footwear industry for years. He also loves to run. He runs every day in the forest near his home in Colorado. But while training for a race, he couldn't stop thinking about the bits of plastic and rubber that his shoes were shedding on the forest floor.
With every step we take, our shoes leave behind an invisible trail of contaminants(污染物). These contaminants can potentially harm the soil, water and animal health.
Shoes contain different types of plastics. Every year, about 500,000 tons of microplastics seep into the world's oceans. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic. They form as larger plastic objects break down. They can harm living things and the environment.
Now, several companies are starting to develop plant-based soles (鞋底). They don't leave plastics behind when they break down. Plant-based soles address some of these issues. They won't shed plastic into the environment. Plus, they generate fewer toxic chemicals. But shoes made with natural materials face some of the same challenges as plastic-based shoes once they're thrown out. Taking the shoes apart is still hard. Recycling shoes will require setting up new systems.
Bogle had an idea to create an entirely plastic-free shoe outsole. He got some help from Gene Kelly. He is a professor of soil science at Colorado State University and a fellow runner. Together, Bogle and Kelly developed a shoe sole. It is made of beeswax, vegetable oils and plant products such as leaves and husks from corn and other crops.
Bogle's company, Solum, partners with farmers across the country. The farmers grow and harvest the plant materials. Then, the materials are transformed into little plant balls and blended with natural rubber to create the sole. Solum's shoes don't shed toxic chemicals. Instead, the soles put nutrients back into the soil as they naturally wear down over time.
These days, Bogle runs, hikes and golfs in shoes with his company's plant-based soles. "Footwear is a very hard product to fix," he said. "It really requires completely shifting how we think about footwear and how we make footwear and the materials we use."
(1)、What problems of shoes are mentioned in the passage?A、Shoes are easy to break down but nearly impossible to recycle. B、People buy new shoes every year but quite a few are thrown away. C、Plastics of shoes do harm to our environment and living things. D、Footwear industry is intensely competitive in the production of shoes.(2)、How did Bogle address the shoes issues?A、By developing shoes made of natural materials. B、By asking other companies for technical support. C、By allowing local farmers to join in his research. D、By testing out his company's shoes in running races.(3)、What is the advantage of Solum's shoes over others?A、They can endure lots of wear and tear. B、They don't shed bits of chemicals at all. C、They are cheap in materials and production. D、They bring nutrients to soil instead of plastics.(4)、How do we describe Bogle?A、Modest and capable. B、Passionate and friendly. C、Creative and responsible. D、Warm-hearted and devoted. -

For a long time, I kept a selection of books on a shelf next to my bed that I called my. "heart books". To qualify for a place on the shelf, a book had to be not only one I loved, but one that mattered. There was one book that never made it onto that shelf, though I read it in high school: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.
I can still remember the day I bought it. It was summer and I must have been 14 or 15. Desperate to get out of my house, I rode my bike into town and walked into the bookstore. I was going through the shelf of books on writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bought it. Then I took it with me to a park, read the first few chapters, and opened my notebook to write.
It's a fairly straightforward writing book. Goldberg's method is simple: you choose a topic, set a timer, and write for 10, 15, or 20 minutes without picking up your pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing topics: anyone who has taken a creative writing class may have encountered these things. There was nothing particularly new or unusual about the book so I can't say why it attracted me so much. But it changed everything. I went from being someone who enjoyed writing to being a writer.
During my teen years and early twenties, following Goldberg's method was at the core of my identity. No matter where I was or what I was doing, I filled notebooks. When I eventually started writing fiction, I did the same thing. The "I" in my notebooks became someone else, but I held to the same practice.
This writing practice led me to a writing group in Boston. It led me to my current career. It led me, in so many ways, to myself. Becoming a writer allowed me to become so many other things: an activist, a business owner, a farmer, a baker... Writing is where I found my confidence. It was where I became curious about the world. From that, everything else has followed.
(1)、What can we learn about Writing Down the Bones from the first two paragraphs?A、It was among the list of "heart books". B、It was recommended by her teacher. C、The author encountered it in a bookstore. D、The author treasured it on her book shelf.(2)、What does the author think of Goldberg's method?A、Unique and innovative. B、Ordinary and normal. C、Direct and typical. D、Attractive and inspiring.(3)、What did the author do while writing?A、She strictly followed Goldberg's writing steps. B、She wrote on her notebook whenever possible. C、She kept practicing through different methods. D、She imagined many characters in her fictions.(4)、Which is the suitable title for the text?A、Natalie Goldberg and Her Book. B、The Start of My Writing Career. C、Confidence Found Through Writing. D、Chai n Reaction Caused by A Book. -

More Than a Medical Kit
"Anybody have a bandage?" a voice rang down the dorm hallway.
It was our first week at college and we were all experiencing nervousness. I had forgotten to bring snacks for late nights but would never ask any of my roommates to share theirs. I was shy, always worried about fitting in a new situation and meeting people.
Several months before, I sat at my high school graduation party admiring my gifts and battling waves of post-high school sentimentality (多愁善感). Books were scattered around my feet. Laundry items, desk supplies — all well-intentioned and well-received. They would demonstrate their givers' thoughtfulness over and over during my college career.
But one gift struck me as strange. I frowned when I opened it. Medicine? A small packet of pills and creams, ointments and so on lay within the wrappings. Who would give that as a gift? I turned and Jenny, my best friend, grinned (露齿而笑).
"You'll need that once you're at school," She pointed out. "You won't have to chase down the campus nurse for every cough. Besides, that might bring you luck and chance." Hugging me tightly, she added.
Good point. She knew how anxious and frightened I felt about stepping onto a new journey, without her for company.
Not long after, in August, I packed my life into a borrowed truck and slipped the bag of medicine in with all my necessities. I hardly thought about it once I reached campus, caught in the whirlwind of unpacking, book-buying, scheduling, and meeting new people.
When "anybody have a bandage?" rang out in the dormitory hall that day, I remembered my little medicinal package.
I swallowed self-consciously. "Actually," I gave a little wave, "I have one."
"Great," the girl jumped off her bed and walked toward me.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

19、 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。(注意:用0.5毫米黑色笔迹的签字笔将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。)
There is argument over the term hanfu, as some scholars prefer huafu; "Hua" represents the Chinese nation, all 56 of its ethnic (民族的) groups (include). However, since Han, Chinese are the dominant ethnic group in China. (basic), people refer to ancient Chinese clothing as hanfu.
To the (train) eye, hanfu, the Japanese kimono and the Korean hanbok may look alike. However, each has distinctive design elements, historical (origin), and cultural significance unique their respective countries. Here are some of the unique features of the special type of clothes.
Ancient Chinese clothing was very lightweight. People tend to believe ancient Chinese clothing was bulky and heavy. Although some garments (衣服) were indeed complicated and layered, many traditional clothes, especially made of silk, were designed to be lightweight and comfortable.
Putting on hanfu with proper ceremony was important in ancient Chinese society, as it was a way (distinguish) social roles. At that time, rules on how to wear, fold, and tie garments (follow) carefully to project an image of grace, modesty, and respect. Today, some of the flowers of the hanfu revival movement adopt same principles.

Seven years after a terrible fall left me paralyzed, here I was, with my two teammates, on the way to becoming the first all-disabled team to cross Europe's largest ice cap, the Vatnajökull glacier, unsupported and unassisted.

From our start point, we would need to 4 through storm-force winds and overcome the 5 of our injuries. This was going to be the toughest challenge of my life.

Just 10 minutes into our journey, I was already beginning to feel the 7 on my shoulders and arms. The weight of our equipment was a constant 8 as it dragged stubbornly through the snow behind us. And yet, with each drive of my poles into the snow, I pushed myself further from civilization — and 9 to the man I'd once been.
After 11 tough days, and countless 10 and slips, we approached the eastern edge of the Vatnajökull glacier. We had beaten the odds, 11 our physical limitations and emerged victorious.
