2、 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。
The (tradition) Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. The 24 solar terms, (determine) by changes in the sun's position in the zodiac during the year, were first used in China and now are followed in many other parts of the world. In China, the 24 solar terms (create) thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production.
Rain Water this year starts Feb19 and ends on Mar
4. Rain Water (signal) the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, lively spring-like scenery starts blossoming.
Rain Water is (common) regarded as the best time of the year to eat fresh bamboo shoots. And according to the Book of Songs, the cooking of bamboo shoots in China dates back to over 2,000 years ago.
According to old Chinese saying, the rainfall in spring is as precious as oil. In northern China, the spring (dry) is common and the rainfall of this season is really low, accounts for only 10 to 15 percent of annual average rainfall. Therefore, Rain Water is considered as a key period for irrigation(灌溉) when the day gets (warm) and rainfall increases.

As a child, I'd spent entire afternoons 1 new worlds in my mind and giving life to 2 in my stories I wished could be my friends. I'd written myself into my favorite stories so I could be part of them. Writing was a part of me; it was who I was.
However, in high school I 3 with writer's block. By the time I was in college, I'd stopped writing entirely, 4 the dream remained. I wanted to 5 a novel one day. It was then that I read an interview with the Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb. She said she'd go crazy if she didn' t write; she needed to do it to stay 6 . Her words made me feel 7 . She was telling me that I wasn't really a writer.
Or so I thought. I tried again, and it was like feeling the sun on my skin, or hearing snow lightly fall. I hadn't realized it, but I hadn't really been happy until I 8 my pen again. Writing was in my blood after all.
Finally, half-hours 9 to writing stretched into hours. Before, I had been upset all the time because I didn't advance my writing projects. Now, every day was a step forward, and I was 10 with it.
One day, I was reading a story in a library. 11 , an idea hit me that I wanted to submit(提交) a few stories. I didn't do it in the hopes they would get published.
And then, something 12 happened. The first story I submitted was chosen for publication! When I got the e-mail, I was wild with joy and 13 around my kitchen table.
That moment 14 me that I must keep writing—not because I'll go 15 ,but because I want to keep being crazily happy like that.

4、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
On an Arctic island, an enormous vault(保险库)has been built deep underground. Like any bank vault, it holds treasures. This vault holds seeds from food crops around the world.
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is in Norway. It is a seed bank, a place to store and protect seeds. More than 800 thousand different seed samples rest here. All are dried and kept in temperature- and moisture-controlled conditions. .
Many nations have their own seed banks, too. One main purpose is to make sure that even if crops fail, there will still be seeds for farmers to plant.
Loss of diversity can cause problems. That was made clear in Ireland in the 1840s. People grew and ate just one kind of potato, which had no defense when a disease struck. The potato crops failed, and one million people died as a result.
Seeds hold information for scientists. They might grow into plants that can resist pests and disease. They might grow where other plants can't. Even the seeds of an invasive plant like kudzu are saved in seed banks. Perhaps scientists will find out their use someday.
A nation commonly has more than one seed bank. Still, a backup plan is a good idea. Floods, fires, war, and other disasters can destroy storehouses of precious seeds. The seeds come from all over the world, and they belong to everyone, not just one nation.
A. But you won't find precious jewels or metals here.
B. That's why the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was created.
C. Another main purpose of seed banks is to protect diversity.
D. The seeds of plants that are no longer farmed may be useful.
E. They will still have seeds to plant, crops to grow, and food to eat.
F. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is nicknamed the Doomsday Vault.
G.This means the air in the vault stays dry and the temperature is always the same.

5、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。
A recent global study, which surveyed 10,000 young people from 10 countries, showed that nearly 60 percent of them were extremely worried about the future state of the planet. The report also showed that nearly half of the respondents (受访者) said that such distress affected them daily, and three-quarters agreed with the statement that "the future is frightening." This, and many other studies, show clearly that climate change is not just a threat to the environment. It also poses a very real threat to our mental health.
Psychologists have classified these feelings of sadness, distress, and worry about the current climate emergency as eco-anxiety. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance, eco-anxiety is defined as the "intense physical and mental discomfort in response to dangerous changes in the climate system."
Eco-anxiety doesn't just affect young people. It also affects researchers who work in climate and ecological science, burdened by the reality discovered in their findings, and it affects the poor people across the globe, who hopelessly bear the harmful impacts of climate breakdown.
In recent years, we've seen wildfires tear through Canada and Greece, and summer floods destroy regions in Pakistan that are home to nearly 33 million people. Studies have shown that those impacted by air pollution and rising temperatures are more likely to experience mental distress.
The cause of this mental distress is absolutely external. According to Caroline Hickman, a researcher on eco-anxiety from the University of Bath, anyone experiencing these emotions is displaying entirely natural and rational reactions to the climate crisis. Her suggestion? Take eco-anxiety as a tool for good—as an emotion that can urge people to act in protection of our planet.
This is why, in 2024, we will also see more people around the world join the fight for climate justice and apply for jobs that seek sustainable development. Eco-anxiety is not something we will defeat with therapy—we will solve it by taking action.
(1)、What does the underlined word "distress" in paragraph1 mean?A、Shock. B、Anxiety. C、Fear. D、Anger.(2)、What is eco-anxiety according to the Climate Psychology Alliance?A、It is a strong reaction to the natural disasters. B、It is a kind of mental disease for the young people. C、It is a physical and mental discomfort when we meet difficulties. D、It is a strong physical and mental discomfort for the dangerous climate changes.(3)、What is mainly talked about in paragraph3?A、The process of eco-anxiety. B、The impact of eco-anxiety. C、The causes of eco-anxiety. D、The benefits of eco-anxiety.(4)、What's the approach to solving eco-anxiety according to Caroline Hickman?A、Defeat it with a therapy. B、Just wait for a good solution. C、Join the fight for climate justice. D、Use it to urge people to protect our earth. -
6、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。
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team's knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. "You don't see earthquakes coming," explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). "It's a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that's a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide."
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT's Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. "That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward," concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau's director.
(1)、How does the AI predict earthquakes?A、By identifying data from the satellites. B、By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C、By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D、By monitoring changes in the Earth's magnetic field.(2)、What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3?A、The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B、The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C、The significance of developing the AI prediction. D、The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.(3)、What does the follow-up research focus on?A、Conducting tests in different locations. B、Applying the AI approach to other fields. C、Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D、Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.(4)、Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology?A、Stable but outdated. B、Effective but costly. C、Potential and economical. D、Advanced and promising. -
7、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。
When my son Ryan was six years old and in first grade, his teacher, Nancy, talked to his class about developing countries and how they could help people, particularly children, in other parts of the world. She explained that besides not having toys or enough food, some of them didn't even have clean water. For these children sitting in their comfortable classroom in Kemptville, Ontario, the idea of children not having any toys, or enough food or water, had a huge impact.
The principal had distributed a list that showed the costs of buying supplies in developing countries. A penny would buy a pencil, a dollar a hot meal, two dollars a blanket. Seventy dollars would buy a well. When Ryan heard people died because they didn't have clean water, he was deeply affected. He came home that day and insisted he needed seventy dollars for class.
Mark and I discussed it, then explained to Ryan that seventy dollars was a lot of money. If he was really interested in doing something, however, he could earn it. He happily agreed, so we put an old cookie tin on top of the refrigerator and started giving him chores. He did chores for the neighbours and his grandparents, too. After four months, Ryan was nearing his goal.
In April 1998 we went for our meeting with WaterCan, a Canadian nonprofit organization providing clean water to people in developing countries. And Ryan brought his cookie tin full of money. Nicole, the director, and Helen, her assistant, thanked him and told him how important his donation was. Then they told us it would cost a lot more than $70 to build a well—in fact, it would cost $2,000.
Ryan wasn't concerned and replied simply, "That's okay. I'll just do more chores!" News about what Ryan was doing got out, and soon we were getting calls from the media.When the Ottawa Citizen did a story on Ryan's well, we began to receive donations at least once a week. People from all over were catching Ryan's dream and were inspired to give.
(1)、What inspired Ryan to help kids in developing countries?A、Parents' support. B、Ryan's warm heart. C、The principal's list. D、Nancy's explanation.(2)、What did Ryan decide to do to help the kids?A、He planned to donate 70$ to a charity. B、He intended to pay for a well for the kids. C、He desired to purchase hots meals for the kids. D、He wanted to buy blankets and pencils for the kids.(3)、What happened after the Ottawa Citizen did a story on Ryan's well?A、Donations were received once a month. B、People were inspired to give a helping hand. C、Ryan did more chores and donated more money. D、The media called Ryan and his family frequently.(4)、What's the suitable title for the passage?A、Ryan's Well of Life. B、A Joint Effort. C、A Warm-hearted Kid. D、Kids in Need. -

Everyone has unique needs and preferences, and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age.
Official recommendations for the length of a person's sleep are broken down by age group:
Older adults (65+): 7–8 hours
Adults (18–64 years): 7–9 hours
Teenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hours
School children (6–13 years): 9–11 hours
Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours (including naps)
Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours (including naps)
Infants (4–12 months): 12–15 hours (including naps)
Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours
However, some people might need more or less sleep than is generally recommended, depending on the following factors.
Genetic makeup
Your genetics are an important factor in how many hours of sleep you need per night.
For example, those with one specific genetic mutation(基因突变) need only around 6 hours, whereas people without it require about 8 hours, on average.
Sleep quality
The quality of your sleep can also affect how much you need.
If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.
Therefore, it's not only important to focus on sleeping long enough but also on sleeping well enough. If you often feel like you aren't sleeping well or are extremely tired and don't know why, it's a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider.

19、 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。
Seven-year-old Maggie was a grade-one pupil. She often spent her free time socializing with the seniors at a local retirement facility. In general, she would talk about puzzles, ice cream bars, and everything under the sun with the seniors. But most particularly, Maggie read to them, which she called her sweet mission. Once or twice a week, the little girl put a few books in her backpack and got ready to visit the elderly at the facility.
This sweet mission began on a snowy day. Maggie's mom, Tiffany Kuznia, worked at the retirement facility and often brought her daughter with her to work. As little Maggie was packing her bag, Kuznia reminded her to bring her Nintendo Switch so she would not get bored. Maggie quickly replied that she had different plans for the day. "I'm going to bring books and Tm going to read to the residents," she declared.
On arrival, the girl knocked on every door of the facility to offer her services. That day,she made a good start. Patti Griggs, a retired elementary school teacher, was astonished by her reading talent. "She's such a good little reader. I taught first-grade kids how to read. There were very few children who could come in and read like that,"said Griggs.
With time, Maggie became so beloved among the residents that she even had "regulars" she read to every week. She often visited each one for over an hour. Her mom checked on her regularly to make sure she wasn't overstaying her welcome. Much to Maggie's delight, the residents were more than happy to have her with them for an extended period of time. They were always ready to help her out when she struggled with new words.Such hiccups (小问题) happened less and less and Maggie grew more confident of reading aloud.
Two months later, Maggie realized that her companions had different hobbies and interests. And their educational levels varied from person to person. It was high time that she should make some changes.
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。
Maggie decided to choose different books according to their tastes.
