By the time he was 24 years old, Imran Nuri quit his job in a bold move, and emptied his savings account to carry out an ambitious 1 he'd been bearing in mind. Nuri would drive his car to every state on a 100-day trip to find 1,000 2 and ask them to share one thing they wish they'd 3 when they were younger. Nuri was hoping for answers that might help him 4 the rest of his life.
He 5 . But to his shock, he chose a 6 person for the first time. He met a man, who had a dark look at Nuri. Nuri thought the man was going to 7 him. Then, doing the most 8 thing he'd done, he introduced himself, "I'm 9 around the country to talk to 1,000 unfamiliar people. I'm asking them for pieces of life advice about things they wish they knew 10 ." The man remained silent for a minute or so and 11 said, "We should spend more time with our family."
In Colorado Springs, Colorado, a man in his 50s who had stage 4 terminal cancer told Nuri, "Life is about the human 12 . There would be no life without social interactions."
In Tillamook, Oregon, a waitress-a college student told him, "whether it's changing your major or changing your whole life path, you don't have to 13 yourself for taking a step back and reevaluating your past choices. Just do what you think to be right."
Nuri found beauty in every place as well as 14 from the people he met. Those people taught a lot. Now he always puts himself in other people's shoes even when a person sees the world 15 .

2、 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。
Have you ever noticed how some people can effortlessly talk to anyone they meet, no matter how different their backgrounds are? Or have you seen that one person who always offends someone, no matter what the topic of conversation is? These two scenes show how we can differ in our abilities to interact, get along with, and relate to others around us.
After years of academic research and development, this social competency is now commonly referred to as "social intelligence". Do you want to improve your social intelligence? Here are great ideas with which to get started.
Listen well and pay attention
Practice active listening so that you can fully engage and communicate with others. It is natural to want to respond to that text message that pops up on your phone immediately, even when you're in the middle of a face-to-face conversation. Give people your full attention when speaking with them.
Watch out for body language
Even if they aren't saying so, their feelings are truly revealed. Try to tune in to what the other person is saying "physically". In the same way, be aware of your own body language and how you are presenting yourself. If you slouch and appear physically uninterested during a conversation, it may make the speakers lose confidence in what they are saying, resulting in a negative interaction.
Show that you care
If you sense that someone is upset, or if someone tells you they are going through some difficulties, show them you truly care.
A. Life is often fast paced, with many digital distractions.
B. Often, people's gestures will tell us a great deal about how they are feeling.
C. Sharing other people's feelings can help you connect at a more meaningful level.
D. People like to feel heard, and it will help you develop worthwhile relationships.
E. The speaker fails to deliver a clear and objective message during his presentation.
F. Engaging in a meaningful conversation can reduce loneliness and help reconnect with others.
G. In the same way that we vary in traditional academic competencies, we can vary in how socially competent we are.

Chinese scientists have created a breakthrough fibre that can be woven into warm, lightweight clothing using aerogel, a thermal insulation (热绝缘) material mainly used in the aerospace industry.
Aerogel, notable for their performance and durability, could have various applications. As the world's lightest solid material, it has long been valued for its thermal insulation properties. Traditional aerogel, made by replacing the liquid in aerogel with air, is extraordinarily light, resembling a solid cloud of smoke. Its high porosity (多孔性) gives it exceptional heat resistance, but this also makes it fragile and challenging to process, limiting its use in civilian applications.
But now, researchers at Zhejiang University have overcome aerogel's fragility and designed an encapsulated aerogel fibre ( EAF) with similar thermal insulation mechanisms-after being inspired by the structure of polar bear hair.
The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation as well as Nasa have used EAF in Mars rovers, which endure extreme temperatures ranging from thousands of degrees during the Martian landing to -130 degrees Celsius (-202 degrees Fahrenheit) on the planet's surface.
In an experiment, a volunteer wore textiles (纺织品) made of EAF, down, wool, and cotton in a-20 degree Celsius environment. The surface temperatures of these materials were 3.5 degrees, 3.8 degrees, 7.2 degrees, and 10.8 degrees respectively, indicating the superior insulation of EAF. They showed the practicality of EAF by weaving a jumper and comparing its thermal insulation to common textile materials.
As well as being strong and stretchable, EAF can also be washed and dyed, improving its use in practical applications. Traditional silica aerogel will absorb water and collapse on itself. As a result, it quickly loses its thermal insulation qualities in wet or humid environments. However, EAF maintains its performance even after machine washing.
Professor Zhang Xuetong of the Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, highlighted the potential of the aerogel fibres in advanced thermal textiles. As well as its potential for civilian use, EAF fibre also holds promise for industries that are already familiar with aerogels. "EAF textiles feature excellent thermal insulation and multifunction and have great potential in areas such as military uniforms and spacesuits in extremely cold environments," professor Zhang noted in a paper. However, he also noted the gap between existing technology and capacity for mass production. Challenges exist regarding how to develop fast spinning technology and resolve the continuous fabrication that is necessary for mass production.
(1)、What is the characteristic of traditional aerogel?A、It can be easily processed. B、It is resistant to high temperatures. C、It is a solid cloud of smoke. D、It can effectively insulate electricity.(2)、What is EAF's advantage in enduring extreme temperature based on?A、Research statistics. B、Public comments. C、Scientific prediction. D、Commercial reports.(3)、Professor Zhang Xuetong's study found that mass production could be possible if ____.A、advancement is made in thermal textiles B、there exists need for continuous fabrication C、barriers in fast spinning technology are overcome D、aerogel's strengths and weaknesses get balanced(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、The development of aerogel fibre. B、The potential use of biomimetic fibre. C、Great breakthrough in aerospace industry. D、China's newly-woven clothing made from aerogel. -

The hens look up at me from their nesting boxes. They seem slightly annoyed but unsurprised. A child runs up, pushes one of the chickens aside, and snatches two eggs. Around me, a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles. I reach for an egg from an empty nest. There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts.
The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food. Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don't constitute a full day's work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn't just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves. Of course, visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant, Clay, where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast.
A few centuries of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have collected people into cities, but the attraction of the countryside has always remained. In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops. Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War II, when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs.
Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms, including farmstays, where guests sleep on-site. For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world.
(1)、Why does the author describe children and adults collecting eggs in the beginning?A、To introduce agritourism. B、To describe the use of eggs. C、To show the innocence of the children. D、To emphasize the happiness of the children and adults.(2)、What is accessible to consumers in agritourism activities?A、Engaging in planting vegetables in person. B、Doing some simple but meaningful farm-work. C、Enjoying some self-made egg products on the farm. D、Clarifying the farm-to-table concept through practice.(3)、What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?A、The appeal of rural life gradually fade away due to industrialization. B、The desire to search for more well-paid jobs accelerated the speed of agritourism. C、Italian government's calls contributed a lot to the trend of moving from villages to cities. D、Promising farmers were dedicated to promoting their lifestyle along with agricultural products.(4)、What is the author's attitude toward agritourism?A、Doubtful. B、Dismissive. C、Supportive. D、Sympathetic. -

"Hello. You are you and I am I. We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth." This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader.
Matters get more quizzical-or philosophical (哲学意义的), if you prefer—on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, "We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans." The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured.
Like next matches people with the swimming pools, "We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don't have people splashing around inside us." Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don't have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don't say words. They don't tell stories. They don't get embarrassed, even when they're caught eating something off the ground.
Where to go from there? "Look at all these people, the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different."
"I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth, the narrator concludes. I'm glad. I'd rather be like you than a mushroom-an appealing and inarguable understanding."
(1)、What does the underlined word "quizzical" mean in the second paragraph?A、Definite. B、Consistent. C、Unusual. D、Ambiguous.(2)、According to the passage, which of the following is most like humans?A、Hyenas. B、Tin cans. C、Mushrooms. D、Swimming pools.(3)、How is the writer's idea mainly developed in the passage?A、By describing in details. B、By making comparisons. C、By analyzing causes and effects. D、By presenting problems and solutions.(4)、Where is the text most probably taken from?A、An animal encyclopedia. B、A story entry. C、A philosophical textbook. D、A book review. -

17、 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。
Ten-year-old Riley Christensen and her mother, Lynn, were sitting in front of the family computer, checking out models and prices of bikes. "Let's pick one out for your birthday," Lynn suggested to her daughter. The air in the room was filled with excitement as they scrolled through various options, envisioning the joy when Riley cycled around the neighborhood. They laughed together, exploring the features of each bike, and discussing colors.
As Riley scrolled down the home page of the Bike Rack, a shop in their town of St. Charles, Illinois, a video link for Project Mobility caught her eye. She clicked on it out of curiosity, unaware that this simple click would unfold a profound story of compassion and sympathy. The video clip began to narrate the inspiring journey of Bike Rack co-owner Hal Honeyman. Through it, Lynn and Riley were transported into the world of Project Mobility, witnessing how Hal Honeyman had transformed a passion for biking into an organization dedicated to providing specially engineered bicycles for those facing physical challenges. The video footage (镜头) painted a vivid picture of the positive impact these adapted bikes had on individuals — accident victims, injured veterans, and children with disabilities, including Hal's own son, who had been born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫).
"I don't want a bike for myself. I'm going to buy a bike for one of those kids," Riley told her mother. Two days later, she showed Lynn a letter she had written asking for donations. "I think it's amazing for a guy to make bikes for kids who can't walk," the letter said. "I saw how happy a boy was when he got one... I'm writing to ask for your help."
Lynn was blown away by her daughter's effort, but doubts quickly emerged. The cost of just one of those special bikes could be as high as $4,000. Riley could never raise the money.
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。
Nonetheless, her letter went out to 75 relatives and friends.
……
On her birthday, Riley delivered the bicycles to three lucky kids.
