When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van（厢式货车），learning from expert bakers，she wanted to do something similar．So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels．
Lemay's ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy，built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway．Renovations（改装）were mainly done by her and her dad．Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides，offering a lot of storage space，while the rooftop has 400-watt of solar power panels and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga．The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay's work and hobbies．As Lemay mentions，not only did her father help，but also the rest of her family．Lemay's mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions，and her sister crafted the leather pulls．
Her current nomadic（流浪式的）lifestyle fits well with her work doing audiobooks，voiceovers，and publishing work．In the end，this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable，now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water，electricity，and other daily resources that she uses．But all these day-to-day trouble is balanced with a greater sense of freedom．
“It's almost mind-blowing，it feels like a completely different life because I'm doing the work online，and I can do things on my own schedule．Most of my days are mine—so by living in the van，I can be where I want to be，and do the things I want to do，and spend time outside．”
24．What inspired Amanda to make a change？
A．A couple's travelling experience． B．Some expert bakers' suggestions．
C．Her own awful living conditions． D．Her parents' continuous persuasion．
25．What is the second paragraph mainly about？

C．The renovations of the van． D．The attitudes of Amanda's parents．
26．Which of the following may best describe Amanda？

C．Decisive and adventurous． D．Playful and romantic．
27．What can we infer from the passage？
A．Amanda is completely free from any worries
B．Amanda fully values her sense of freedom．
C．Amanda will return to her previous life soon．
D．Amanda will invite her family members to join her．
C
When romantic partners argue over things like finances，jealousy，or other interpersonal issues，they tend to employ their current feelings as fuel for a heated argument．But thinking about the future helps overcome relationship conflicts，according to a University of Waterloo study just published online in Social Psychological and Personality Science．Alex Huynh，a doctoral candidate in psychology is the lead author of the study，which he published with Igor Grossmann from the University of Waterloo，and Daniel Yang from Yale University．
Previous research has shown that third-perspective reasoning can be a positive strategy for reconciliation（调解）of interpersonal struggles．Huynh and his collaborators investigated whether similar benefit can be induced by simply thinking about the future．Study participants were instructed to reflect on a recent conflict with a romantic partner or a close friend．One group of participants were then asked to describe how they would feel about the conflict one year in the future，while another group was asked to describe how they feel in the present．
The team examined participants' written responses through a text-analysis program for their use of pronouns—such as I，me，she，he．These choices of pronouns were used to capture participants' focus on the feelings and behaviour of those involved in the conflict．Written responses were also examined for forgiveness and reinterpreting the conflict more positively，both of which implied the participants' use of reasoning strategies．
The researchers found that envisioning future relationship affected both participants' focus on their feelings，and their reasoning strategies．As a result，participants reported more positivity about their relationship altogether，especially when study participants extended their thinking about the relationship a year into the future．
“Our study demonstrates that adopting a future-oriented perspective in the context of a relationship conflict—reflecting on how one might feel a year from now-may be a valuable coping tool for one's psychological happiness and relationship well-being，” said Huynh．
28．What do romantic partners do in face of most disagreements？
A．They lose faith in their future． B．They focus on their present feelings
C．They look forward to a fierce conflict． D．They care more about financial problems．
29．What does the underlined word "induced" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？
A．Caused． B．Explained．
C．Reduced． D．Improved．
30．What do we know about the study？
A．All the study participants described how they felt both in the present and in the future．
B．Study participants described their recent relationship with their romance partners or friends．
C．A text-analysis program was employed to examine participants' use of negative words．
D．The reasoning strategies in participants' written responses were well worthy of note．
31．What can be the best title of the text？
A．You have a year to solve your interpersonal problems!
B．Thinking about future is essential for relationship maintenance!
C．Your current feelings are the real cause of your heated arguments!
D．Beneficial reasoning is a positive strategy for reconciliation!
D
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away，there was a large and magnificently brilliant star that shone across the young expanding universe．The light from that blue star travelled through space for billions of years，and then one day a few thin beams crashed into a polished mirror-the light bucket of the Hubble Space Telescope．
In a report published Wednesday in the journal Nature，a team of astronomers asserts that this is the most distant individual star ever seen．They describe it as 50 to 100 times more massive than our sun，and roughly 1 million times brighter，with its starlight having travelled 12.9 billion years to reach the telescope．
The lead author on the report，Brian Welch，gave the star a name：Earendel，meaning “morning stars”．“Earendel was found in a young galaxy known as the Sunrise Arc，and 'morning stars'seemed appropriate，" Welch said．
“This is one of the major discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope in its 32 years of observation，” said Rogier Windhorst，a co-author of the report．In recent decades，astronomers have seen galaxies at that distance，and even farther away，but galaxies are collections of billions of stars and the very distant ones have typically been nothing more than smudges of light．
Despite its mass and brilliance，Earendel's discovery would not have been possible were it not for the cosmic alignment．Between Hubble and the star lies a galaxy cluster，WHL0137-08，which is so huge that its mass wraps the fabric of space，creating a power of natural magnifying（放大）glass that magnifies the light form objects behind it，a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing（引力透镜效应）．Earendel sits on or close to that space ripple，causing it to “pop out" from the general glow of its galaxy because the phenomenon magnified its brightness at least a thousand fold．
In interviews this week，several scientists who are not part of the Earendel team praised the discovery，noting that further observations could firm up the claim and potentially provide insights into the early evolution of stars．
32．How does the first paragraph develop？
A．By listing several figures． B．By making comparisons．
C．By describing the process． D．By analyzing cause and effect．
33．What can we learn from the passage？
A．The star Earendel is quite different from the Sun．
B．Brian Welch made the discovery of the Earendel alone．
C．Both Earendel and the galaxy Sunrise Arc are very old．
D．Astronomers have never discovered galaxies that far．
34．According to Paragraph 5，why the star could be discovered？
A．Because the star is incredibly huge in its mass．
B．Because the star shines brightly enough to be detected．
C．Because the brightness of the star is enhanced enormously．
D．Because the Hubble space telescope is properly placed in space．
35．What is the attitude of other scientists toward the discovery？
A．Critical． B．Indifferent．
C．Doubtful． D．Appreciative．

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。
Early one cold November morning，my mother dressed me in thick clothes．“Now come outside with me，” she said．Once outside，she handed me a brown paper bag that held something that smelled like wet dirt．“We need to plant bulbs（鳞茎植物）before the first hard freeze．I have already dug the holes，” she said．“So take each bulb from the bag，drop it in the hole，and then gently push the dirt back into the hole to cover the bulb—like so．”
I opened the bag．“These bulbs are ugly and look dead!”
“You're right．They're not at all pretty．But they're not dead；they're just sleeping until spring．”
“And all the bulbs look alike，” I continued．“How do we know what they'll look like next spring？”
“We won't know for sure until spring，but that's the joy of gardening．We'll just have to be patient．”
All winter long I hoped that the flowers would bloom some day．
One day in late April，I found some pink pushing up through the ground．My mother was excited when I showed her．Perfect! “she said．They'll be ready at just the right time．”
A few days later，she took me to the local store where she gathered up colored paper，colored ribbons，and all the baskets on sale．“Okay，now we're ready to make May baskets．”
“May baskets？What are May baskets？”
“They are small baskets filled with fresh flowers and secretly left at someone's front door．” Her eyes shone with delight．“So when we get home we'll cut the flowers that are blooming in the garden to make May baskets．Then tomorrow，May 1st，we'll get up early and take them to our neighbors．Doesn't that sound like fun？”
“But I waited all winter for the flowers to bloom，and they're so beautiful．And．．．and．．．I thought we would keep them forever，” I said，close to tears．
“I know you're disappointed，sweetie，but flowers-like kindness-are meant to be shared．Their beauty is not ours to keep．You understand？” my mother replied in a tender voice．
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。
“No! I don't understand．I want to keep the flowers，” I protested．
Shortly after dawn the next morning，we began our journey through the neighborhood．

When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United States in a van（厢式货车），learning from expert bakers，she wanted to do something similar．So she got rid of most of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels．
Lemay's ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy，built on a 2006 Ford E350 Cutaway．Renovations（改装）were mainly done by her and her dad．Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of built-in cabinets on all sides，offering a lot of storage space，while the rooftop has 400-watt of solar power panels and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga．The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay's work and hobbies．As Lemay mentions，not only did her father help，but also the rest of her family．Lemay's mother helped sew the decorations on the removable cushions，and her sister crafted the leather pulls．
Her current nomadic（流浪式的）lifestyle fits well with her work doing audiobooks，voiceovers，and publishing work．In the end，this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable，now that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water，electricity，and other daily resources that she uses．But all these day-to-day trouble is balanced with a greater sense of freedom．
“It's almost mind-blowing，it feels like a completely different life because I'm doing the work online，and I can do things on my own schedule．Most of my days are mine—so by living in the van，I can be where I want to be，and do the things I want to do，and spend time outside．”
24．What inspired Amanda to make a change？
A．A couple's travelling experience． B．Some expert bakers' suggestions．

When romantic partners argue over things like finances，jealousy，or other interpersonal issues，they tend to employ their current feelings as fuel for a heated argument．But thinking about the future helps overcome relationship conflicts，according to a University of Waterloo study just published online in Social Psychological and Personality Science．Alex Huynh，a doctoral candidate in psychology is the lead author of the study，which he published with Igor Grossmann from the University of Waterloo，and Daniel Yang from Yale University．
Previous research has shown that third-perspective reasoning can be a positive strategy for reconciliation（调解）of interpersonal struggles．Huynh and his collaborators investigated whether similar benefit can be induced by simply thinking about the future．Study participants were instructed to reflect on a recent conflict with a romantic partner or a close friend．One group of participants were then asked to describe how they would feel about the conflict one year in the future，while another group was asked to describe how they feel in the present．
The team examined participants' written responses through a text-analysis program for their use of pronouns—such as I，me，she，he．These choices of pronouns were used to capture participants' focus on the feelings and behaviour of those involved in the conflict．Written responses were also examined for forgiveness and reinterpreting the conflict more positively，both of which implied the participants' use of reasoning strategies．
The researchers found that envisioning future relationship affected both participants' focus on their feelings，and their reasoning strategies．As a result，participants reported more positivity about their relationship altogether，especially when study participants extended their thinking about the relationship a year into the future．
“Our study demonstrates that adopting a future-oriented perspective in the context of a relationship conflict—reflecting on how one might feel a year from now-may be a valuable coping tool for one's psychological happiness and relationship well-being，” said Huynh．
28．What do romantic partners do in face of most disagreements？
A．They lose faith in their future． B．They focus on their present feelings
C．They look forward to a fierce conflict． D．They care more about financial problems．
29．What does the underlined word "induced" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？
A．Caused． B．Explained．
C．Reduced． D．Improved．
30．What do we know about the study？
A．All the study participants described how they felt both in the present and in the future．
B．Study participants described their recent relationship with their romance partners or friends．
C．A text-analysis program was employed to examine participants' use of negative words．
D．The reasoning strategies in participants' written responses were well worthy of note．
31．What can be the best title of the text？
A．You have a year to solve your interpersonal problems!
B．Thinking about future is essential for relationship maintenance!
C．Your current feelings are the real cause of your heated arguments!
D．Beneficial reasoning is a positive strategy for reconciliation!
D
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away，there was a large and magnificently brilliant star that shone across the young expanding universe．The light from that blue star travelled through space for billions of years，and then one day a few thin beams crashed into a polished mirror-the light bucket of the Hubble Space Telescope．
In a report published Wednesday in the journal Nature，a team of astronomers asserts that this is the most distant individual star ever seen．They describe it as 50 to 100 times more massive than our sun，and roughly 1 million times brighter，with its starlight having travelled 12.9 billion years to reach the telescope．
The lead author on the report，Brian Welch，gave the star a name：Earendel，meaning “morning stars”．“Earendel was found in a young galaxy known as the Sunrise Arc，and 'morning stars'seemed appropriate，" Welch said．
“This is one of the major discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope in its 32 years of observation，” said Rogier Windhorst，a co-author of the report．In recent decades，astronomers have seen galaxies at that distance，and even farther away，but galaxies are collections of billions of stars and the very distant ones have typically been nothing more than smudges of light．
Despite its mass and brilliance，Earendel's discovery would not have been possible were it not for the cosmic alignment．Between Hubble and the star lies a galaxy cluster，WHL0137-08，which is so huge that its mass wraps the fabric of space，creating a power of natural magnifying（放大）glass that magnifies the light form objects behind it，a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing（引力透镜效应）．Earendel sits on or close to that space ripple，causing it to “pop out" from the general glow of its galaxy because the phenomenon magnified its brightness at least a thousand fold．
In interviews this week，several scientists who are not part of the Earendel team praised the discovery，noting that further observations could firm up the claim and potentially provide insights into the early evolution of stars．
32．How does the first paragraph develop？
A．By listing several figures． B．By making comparisons．
C．By describing the process． D．By analyzing cause and effect．
33．What can we learn from the passage？
A．The star Earendel is quite different from the Sun．
B．Brian Welch made the discovery of the Earendel alone．
C．Both Earendel and the galaxy Sunrise Arc are very old．
D．Astronomers have never discovered galaxies that far．
34．According to Paragraph 5，why the star could be discovered？
A．Because the star is incredibly huge in its mass．
B．Because the star shines brightly enough to be detected．
C．Because the brightness of the star is enhanced enormously．
D．Because the Hubble space telescope is properly placed in space．
35．What is the attitude of other scientists toward the discovery？
A．Critical． B．Indifferent．
C．Doubtful． D．Appreciative．

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。
Early one cold November morning，my mother dressed me in thick clothes．“Now come outside with me，” she said．Once outside，she handed me a brown paper bag that held something that smelled like wet dirt．“We need to plant bulbs（鳞茎植物）before the first hard freeze．I have already dug the holes，” she said．“So take each bulb from the bag，drop it in the hole，and then gently push the dirt back into the hole to cover the bulb—like so．”
I opened the bag．“These bulbs are ugly and look dead!”
“You're right．They're not at all pretty．But they're not dead；they're just sleeping until spring．”
“And all the bulbs look alike，” I continued．“How do we know what they'll look like next spring？”
“We won't know for sure until spring，but that's the joy of gardening．We'll just have to be patient．”
All winter long I hoped that the flowers would bloom some day．
One day in late April，I found some pink pushing up through the ground．My mother was excited when I showed her．Perfect! “she said．They'll be ready at just the right time．”
A few days later，she took me to the local store where she gathered up colored paper，colored ribbons，and all the baskets on sale．“Okay，now we're ready to make May baskets．”
“May baskets？What are May baskets？”
“They are small baskets filled with fresh flowers and secretly left at someone's front door．” Her eyes shone with delight．“So when we get home we'll cut the flowers that are blooming in the garden to make May baskets．Then tomorrow，May 1st，we'll get up early and take them to our neighbors．Doesn't that sound like fun？”
“But I waited all winter for the flowers to bloom，and they're so beautiful．And．．．and．．．I thought we would keep them forever，” I said，close to tears．
“I know you're disappointed，sweetie，but flowers-like kindness-are meant to be shared．Their beauty is not ours to keep．You understand？” my mother replied in a tender voice．
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。
“No! I don't understand．I want to keep the flowers，” I protested．
Shortly after dawn the next morning，we began our journey through the neighborhood．
