2、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。
Traveling on an airplane can be a very tiring task even in the best of circumstances.
A teenage boy with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) who was traveling with his family had become upset and would not return to his seat, in spite of the cabin crew's warnings over the loudspeaker that it was almost time to land. In terms of such situation, the pilot was forced to circle above the airport (temporary), delaying (延迟) the landing and angering people on the already tense flight.
Though the boy's elderly parents and adult brothers and sisters tried to persuade him to get off the floor and back into his seat, he was (oppose) to their advice resolutely. They seemed to be despair. Subsequently, Murphy, 42 — who had been a teacher for about 20 years-glanced at the boy, stood up and quickly headed to the back of the plane.
She found the boy in the passage between rows of seats, lying on his belly (腹部). So she also lay down on her stomach to face him. She began chatting calmly with him, (ask) his name, his favorite book, and his favorite characters. He told her he felt sick and she tried to comfort him. Minutes later, he allowed her to hold his hand — and then together they got properly back into the airplane seats. Murphy asked for sick bags. and held them as the boy threw up (呕吐) several times. As she helped him clean up, she repeatedly told him everything would be okay and that they'd get through it together.
Thanks to his timely assistance, the plane was finally able to land safely on the ground. one might expect, no one was impatient to step off the flight with parcels. Instead, calmed passengers — obviously following Murphy's amazing example — allowed the boy and his family (depart) first, smiling at them as they passed. His parents said they couldn't thank Murphy enough for what (do) by her already, and a doctor sitting nearby also let her know he had even taken notes on her expert way of having the situation handled. The doctor said, "You have dealt with such a kind of case before, haven't you? Your good deeds have made an impression on us. I want to express my deep (appreciate) for you."

3、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
In my early childhood, I was convinced that persistence is the only way towards success. But a small incident made me change my mind.
One day my two-year-old son, 1 at a dozen of "stood" color markerpens, cheered excitedly, "Mummy, look! I did it." Afterwards, he collected some ballpens, 2 to do the same. Hard though he tried, the ballpens just lay 3 . He turned to me for help. Noticing they had either sharp or round ends, I said 4 , "Mummy can't help you." To my surprise, he wouldn't listen and continued trying. I was struck by his persistence.
My son's behaviour reminded me of George who was always 5 in his work and rarely talked to anyone. To him, therefore, there was no such thing called weekends or holidays. Our boss praised 6 about him and inspired us to look up to him as a role model.
One day I met George. "Gonna work late again tonight?"
"Probably can't leave till midnight," he said.
"How many hours have you put in here each week, eighty or ninety?"
"7 ."
"Don't you have time to be with your family at all?"
He shook his head slowly and 8 a sigh. "It's not what I wanted. But I have worked on it for so long. It's much too 9 to even think about letting go."
A year later I resigned. The 10 thing I heard about him was that his wife divorced him. Since then I've never seen him. But occasionally his aged 11 would come to my mind.
Until that day, without knowing why the ballpens couldn't stand up, the twoyearold had 12 the impossibility after many failures. He put aside all the ballpens and kept only those water markers for his "game". 13 , he already learned to let go of his previous 14 attempts.
In our daily life, many headaches can be avoided if we know how to 15 them and then let go of them immediately.

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。
With everything going on in the world, it's no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep. And it's hard to fall back asleep again. However, simple steps before bed can help. Test your pillow. If you bought your pillow in 2022, it's already old. The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow everyone to two years. "When your brain is sending pain signals, it can't send sleep signals," says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist.
Get an hour of sunlight each day. Morning sunlight is important for good sleep. To get more rays, aim for 15 to 30 minutes of direct light in the morning. The light cues your brain that it's time to be awake and prevents you from producing melatonin before bedtime. When you're inside, open the shades.
Skip salty snacks before bed. In a Japanese study, researchers followed 321 patients with high-saltdiets and sleep issues for 12 weeks. And those who consumed more salt woke up more often to go to the bathroom.
If you need to air complaints to your family, don't wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning.
A.Avoid arguments with your family.
B.Handle your troubles before dinner.
C.Next,take two 15-minute outdoor breaks during the day.
D.It contributes to good health when exposed to light.
E.It's normal to wake up at night,especially as you age.
F.A used one in the past can cause neck pain and restless sleep.
G.When people cut them down,their average toilet trips decreased.

Placed before you are two pots. Each contains 100 balls. You are given a clear description of the first pot's contents, in which there are 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The economist running the experiment is tight-lipped about the second, saying only that there are 100 balls divided between red and black in some percentage. Then you are offered a choice. Pick a red ball from a pot and you will get a million dollars. Which pot would you like to pull from? Now try again, but select a black ball. Which pot this time? Most people choose the first pot both times, despite such a choice implying that there are both more and fewer red balls than in the second pot.
This fact is known as the Ellsberg paradox after Daniel Ellsberg, who called the behaviour hate uncertainty. It reveals a deeper problem facing the world as it struggles with climate change.
Ignorance of the future carries a cost today: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, or at the very least expensive. The less insurers know about risks, the more capital they need to protect their balance-sheets against possible losses.
Insurance is a tool of climate adaptation. Indeed, insurance calculators have as big a role to play as activists in the fight against climate change. Without insurance, those whose homes burn in a wildfire or are destroyed by a flood will lose everything. Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. If prices are wrong, society will be more hurt by a hotter world than otherwise would be the case. Politicians considering financial aid for home insurance on flood plains ought to note.
(1)、The experiment of the two pots shows that ____.A、instinct sometimes works better than reasoning B、most people prefer predictability to uncertainty C、people are willing to take risks to get a reward D、it is impossible to always make the right decision(2)、What's the functions of insurance?A、It raises people's awareness of climate change. B、It prevents people from taking risks. C、It motivates people to adapt to risky environment. D、It helps climate refugees to relocate.(3)、What's author's attitude towards financial aids for home insurance?A、Opposing B、Supportive C、Uncertain D、Ambiguous(4)、Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A、Prevention is better than remedy B、Improving forecast can reduce uncertainty C、Uncertainty pushes up the price of insurance D、Speedy action is urgently needed for climate change -

Obese people experience discrimination (歧视) in many parts of their lives, and the workplace is no exception. Studies have long shown that obese workers, defined as those with a body-mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, earn significantly less than their slimmer co-workers.
Yet the costs of weight discrimination may be even greater than previously thought. "The overwhelming evidence," wrote the Institute for employment Studies, "is that it is only women living with obesity who experience the obesity wage penalty (薪资损失)." They were expressing a view that is widely aired in academic papers. To test it, The Economist has analyzed data concerning 23,000 workers from the American Time Use Survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labour Statistics. Our number-processing suggests that, in fact, being obese hurts the earnings of both women and men.
The data we analyzed cover men and women aged between 25 and 54 and in full-time employment. At a general level, it is true that men's BMIs are unrelated to their wages. But that changes for men with university degrees. For them, obesity is associated with a wage penalty of nearly 8%, even after accounting for the separate effects of age, race, graduate education and marital status.
The conclusion — that well-educated workers in particular are penalized for their weight — holds for both sexes. Moreover, the higher your level of education, the greater the penalty. We found that obese men with a Bachelor's degree (学士学位) earn 5% less than their thinner colleagues, while those with a Master's degree earn 14% less. Obese women, it is true, still have it worse: for them, the equivalent figures are 12% and 19%, respectively (分别地).
Your line of work makes a difference, too. When we dealt with the numbers for individual occupations and industries, we found the greatest differences in high-skilled jobs. Obese workers in health care, for example, make 11% less than their slimmer colleagues; those in management roles make roughly 9% less, on average. In sectors such as construction and agriculture, meanwhile, obesity is actually associated with higher wages.
These results suggest that the total costs of wage discrimination borne by overweight workers in America are greater than expected. Now, it's time for our governments to take it seriously.
(1)、What does the underlined word "it" refer to in paragraph 2?A、Obese men earn less salary. B、Only obese women earn less salary. C、Both obese men and women earn less salary. D、Weight discrimination may be greater than previously thought.(2)、Who may experience more discrimination compared to their colleagues according to the data?A、A fat woman office director. B、An obese construction worker. C、An obese man with a bachelor's degree. D、A heavier female doctor with a Doctor's degree.(3)、What is the writer's attitude of overweight discrimination?A、Supportive B、Objective C、Subjective D、indifferent(4)、What might the author continue talking about?A、Overweight discrimination in other countries. B、The reason of discriminating obese people in their lives. C、American people's attitude towards overweight discrimination. D、Actions taken against overweight discrimination in workplaces. -

More than one-third of the world's food is wasted or thrown away, most of which ends up in landfills, producing very large amounts of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Now, many studies show that it is becoming harder to grow enough food to feed an increasing population due to climate change and soil degradation.
But one of the most promising and simplest solutions lies in the problem itself: this wasted food — if composted (堆肥) — could slow climate change and improve soil quality. Higher-quality soil also continues to absorb more carbon from the atmosphere, helping to improve plants and contributing further to fighting climate change. Returning one ton of organic matter to each hectare of soil would increase the production of cereal crops each year in Africa, Asia and South America by millions of tons.
While it is true that people can compost in their yards, community gardens, or even on their kitchen counters, larger-scale efforts, including infrastructure (基础设施) and incentives (激励) for consumers, would take it to the next level. Imagine if consumers could just leave unwanted food in a roadside bin for pickup, or drop it off at a local store, earning a few cents a bucket, just like what has been offered for recycling bottles or newspapers.
Moreover, in the case of composting, the payment incentive system would be sustainable because the end-product of compost can be sold to farmers, making it an economically workable model, something that is often lacking in recycling, especially for certain materials, like many types of plastics.
Eventually, more widespread composting of food would pave the way for solutions to additional waste challenges, such as the disposal of packaging and clothing. This will have other positive effects as well; if more consumers compost, companies will be more inspired to make and use compostable packaging, clothing, and other products. While more compostable items are starting to emerge today, additional composting will further drive demand and innovation, and offer a game-changing solution for the planet.
(1)、What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A、The uneven distribution of food around the world. B、The burden of population growth on the planet. C、The urgency of properly dealing with wasted food. D、The great impact of climate change on food.(2)、What can be learned about the approach to composting wasted food?A、A good system is needed to carry out it effectively. B、It would take a long term to have an effect. C、It is only workable on a small scale. D、It may raise people's awareness of reducing food waste.(3)、What does the author think of the payment incentive system of composting food?A、It is highly profitable. B、It is easy to carry out. C、It is a sustainable economic cycle pattern. D、It is more effective than other recycling systems.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、How Wasted Food Could Be Reduced B、How Wasted Food Could Save the Planet C、How Wasted Food Could Impact Humans D、How Wasted Food Could Become a Business -

Peking opera, known as China's national opera, is a combination of music, dance and art and is widely regarded as a full expression of Chinese culture. Today, this art form is facing the danger of extinction as the younger generation is mostly interested in pop culture.
A Peking opera project for primary and secondary schools was launched by China's Ministry of Education. But it has met with a cold reaction from the public. More than half of the 1, 000 respondents from ten big cities expressed doubts about the practical meaning of the project in the survey conducted by the Social Survey Institute of China.
The project plans to add 15 Peking opera pieces into music courses in 200 schools in ten provinces. The pilot programs will last from March to July next year. At present, teaching materials and video tapes are still in production, China News Service reported. The Ministry of Education hopes that the promotional course can help students better appreciate Chinese culture and cultivate a love for the mother country.
The surveyed people do recognize Peking opera as a comprehensive (综合性的) art form and a representative of the traditional culture. They also understand the purpose of the educational project. However, they wonder whether it is necessary for every student to learn to sing Peking opera, when they are already stressed from endless exams. In fact, most music teachers themselves know little about this ancient art form, and thus are not confident in arousing (激起) students' Interest in its slow pace and abstruse (深奥的) lyrics.
