1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Linda, a sixteen-year-old girl, was a "violinist" of average level, who had basic violin playing skills but was neither particularly outstanding nor bad. She just learned to play the violin at the request of her father.
This year, the school music festival came on time. As usual, Linda accompanied the lead singer with her violin, and the rehearsals (彩排) went well. During a break, noticing Linda always play her violin, a teacher asked Linda if she would sing a song. But Linda refused, saying that she had never sung in public places because she was not good at it. The teacher told her, "Each of us seems to have something that we are not good at, but as long as we are brave enough to try, there may be surprises." Linda still didn't have the courage, and the teacher encouraged her again, "You are a brave girl, and I believe you can try your best."
Thrilled and nervous, Linda finally chose to sing Mystery of Life. Everyone was surprised by her voice. She had such a talent for singing! All the students cheered for her! Without such an unexpected opportunity and that teacher, she might have never found her gift. Now she has become one of the best known singers in her city.
Everyone has some talent. If you think you have no talent, you either haven't discovered yours yet or don't consider it a talent because it's not all that useful. You may be able to build a huge house of cards but you don't think it's a talent. With confidence and effort, some skills can be unlocked and improved. In your life, you should be brave and confident enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have.

13、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。
We met Max at the pickup area of Alaska Airlines. A standard poodle(鬈毛狗)born on Valentine's Day in 2002, he came to us in a small blue box. We had adopted him from a friend, who raised many dogs.
We were a sweet little family—me, my husband, and our children, Sophie and Jake. But for years I'd felt as if we wouldn't really be complete until we had a dog. Also, my husband travelled for some 200 days a year on business, and I knew I'd feel safer with a large animal sleeping by the door.
When we opened the box, we saw him. With his curly black hair and intelligent eyes, Max was beautiful. He was so small that he fit into the palm(手掌)of my hand, his big paws(爪子)lapping over the sides. He was also scared. As I pulled him close, I felt his heart pound and wondered if we'd done the right thing, taking him from his mother. But it was too late. Sophie and Jake were already fighting over who would hold him next.
Over the following months, we spent endless hours watching Max play with his toy or run around the living room. Like most poodles, he was smart. He mastered house-training quickly and never chewed on our furniture or shoes. He considered himself one of us.
Some days after school, I'd find Jake curled up with Max inside his box. When I suggested that my son get out of the dog box, Jake yelled, "Max wants me in here! We're brothers!"
By his first birthday, Max had grown into a 50-pound guard dog. He manned the front door like a soldier, barking fiercely at other dogs walking by. I felt safe with him there, especially when my husband was away. Sometimes, when I was missing my husband a lot, I held Max close.
Many years later, my husband passed away. My kids grew up and went to university. They worked in other cities after graduation.

15、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
More than 11,000 scientists from 153 countries have sounded the alarm on climate change. In a paper (publish)last week in the journal BioScience, they signed a declaration(声明)stating clearly that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency, saying that if no changes (make), the world will face untold suffering. The evidence that the scientists collected reveals an undeniable truth human activities have been causing global warming from the fast rise of fossil fuel consumption the increase in greenhouse gas emissions(排放)over the past 40 years.
The scientists also gave some instructions to fight against global warming, proposing six actions to prevent (far)disasters: stabilizing population (grow)by investing into family-planning services and girls' education, replacing fossil fuels, cutting the emissions of climate pollutants, eating less meat, restoring and protecting (ecosystem), and building carbon-free economy.
The scientists say the climate crisis is (close)related to human activities, so they call on people (change)their life styles. But these measures are comparatively abstract. Therefore, it is high time for policymakers to figure out more practical measures that can bring down carbon emissions.

18、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。
Animals can adapt quickly to survive unfavorable environmental conditions. Evidence is mounting to show that plants can, too. A paper published in the journal Trends in Plant Science details how plants are rapidly adapting to the effects of climate change, and how they are passing down these adaptations to their offspring(后代).
Plants are facing more environmental stresses than ever. For example, climate change is making winters shorter in many locations, and plants are responding. "Many plants require a minimum period of cold in order to set up their environmental clock to define their flowering time," says Martinelli, a plant geneticist at the University of Florence."As cold seasons shorten, plants have adapted to require shorter periods of cold to delay flowering. These mechanisms allow plants to avoid flowering in periods when they have fewer opportunities to reproduce."
Because plants don't have neural(神经的)networks, their memory is based entirely on cellular(细胞的), molecular(分子的), and biochemical networks. These networks make up what the researchers call somatic memory(体细胞记忆). "It allows plants to recognize the occurrence of a previous environmental condition and to react accordingly," says Martinelli.
These somatic memories can then be passed to the plants' offspring via epigenetics(表现遗传). "Several examples demonstrate the existence of molecular mechanisms modulating plant memory to environmental stresses and affecting the adaptation of offspring to these stresses," says Martinelli.
Going forward, Martinelli hopes to understand even more about the genes that are being passed down. "We are particularly interested in decoding the epigenetic alphabet without changes in DNA sequence(序列)," he says. "This is especially important when we consider the rapid climate change, we observe today that every living organism, including plants, needs to quickly adapt to survive."
(1)、 What adaptations have plants made to shortened cold seasons?A、They have shortened their flowering time. B、They have got more chances to reproduce. C、They have avoided flowering in cold seasons. D、They have adjusted their environmental clock.(2)、 What can we learn about somatic memory?A、It is entirely based on neural networks. B、It can help the plants' offspring to survive. C、It can help relieve environmental stresses. D、It disturbs the plants' biochemical networks.(3)、What does the underlined word "modulating" mean in paragraph 4?A、Adjusting. B、Treasuring. C、Recording. D、Sharing.(4)、 Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A、Plants are smart about flowering time B、Plants can also adapt to climate change C、Environmental stresses challenge plants D、Mysteries of plant genes are to be unfolded -
19、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。
Buddy or Friendship Benches(长椅)are needed because playgrounds can be lonely places some times. When a school places the bench, they teach a little lesson to the kids on how it is to be used. Then when a child sits on the bench, it sends out a message to others that basic ally says, "Hey, I'm alone right now and would welcome the company(陪伴)of others." Kids in the playground see this and from their training, they see there is a fellow student in ne ed. They are encouraged to come over and sit on the bench and make a new friend.
Benches like this have been around for a while now in many schools. But in Ireland, they are trying to do something different with the m. This school in Cork in the south of Ireland is the 247th to get benches from a social organization called "Buddy Bench Ireland" that doesn't just provide schools with benches, but also runs special projects with trained child psychiatrists(精神病专家). They use the bench as an opportunity to start conversations about mental health. They talk about the importance of knowing and understanding your feelings and those of others.
Judith Ashton, a co-founder of Buddy Bench Ireland said, "T he children need to understand what the bench is about, what it represents —friendship, understanding, listening to each other and the most important thing is that it's important to express feelings."
But do children really use the bench? It's a matter of great public concern. Sinead Mcgilloway from Maynooth University carried out a study and said, "We found that 40% of the children told us that they had actually used the benches at the time of the study. And over 90% said that they would talk to a child if that child was sitting on the bench. So, there's nothing to worry about."
Children's mental health and safety at school is increasingly a concern in many countries. I n Ireland, they're hoping these benches will no t only tackle problems like school violence and school bullying(校园暴力和校园欺凌), but also give students the confidence to open up about t heir feelings.
(1)、 According to the passage, buddy benches might ____A、make students feel relaxed B、help students feeling lonely to find friends C、be a symbol of psychology classes D、appear in schools filled with problem children(2)、The organization "Buddy Bench Ireland" ____.A、makes buddy benches more popular B、brings more new-pattern benches to schools C、encourages more students to choose buddy benches D、provides psychological care projects along(3)、In Judith Ashton's opinion, what students most need to know is ____.A、how to understand each other B、what buddy benches are about C、the importance of expressing themselves D、the necessity of listening to their friends(4)、 From what Sinead Mcgilloway said, we can know that ____.A、60% of the children in the study disliked these benches B、over 90% of the children in the study once felt lonely C、he once worried about children with mental problems D、the public don't have to worry about the use of buddy benches -
20、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。
I've long believed that positive living isn't about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can't be the goal, because it's impossible to achieve.
It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.
Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situation al needs, and adapting when circumstances change.
However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons(变色龙)whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.
I've learned a new word that I'd like to share with you: eudaimonia(幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism(享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.
Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word "daimon," which means "true nature." To me, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.
(1)、What is the author's belief?A、People should live alone. B、People can't always be happy. C、People can't always achieve their goals. D、People should pursue true achievements.(2)、 What do emotionally flexible people commit themselves to?A、Their strongly believed values. B、Their different needs. C、Permanent happiness. D、The pursuit of hedonism.(3)、How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?A、By being honest to others. B、By changing true nature. C、By keeping realistically optimistie. D、By pursuing pleasure constantly.(4)、 Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A、What is the meaning of eudaimonia? B、What should we do to keep positive? C、How can we keep happy forever? D、Why can't people be happy all the time?
