My hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper. I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.

Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.

It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.

So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.

Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.

24．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Para. 1?

A．Strength. B．Confusion C．Preference. D．Struggles.

25．What happened to the author when leaving Toastmasters?

A．Things got worse for him. B．Nervousness remained with him.

C．He became a polished writer. D．He began to feel more competitive.

26．What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day?

A．He must rise up to defend science.

B．It was a good chance to learn science.

C．It was a project organized by Toastmasters.

D．He couldn’t have people attacking his fellow scientists.

27．What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech?

A．Frustration can be a stepping stone to success.

B．Love motivates us to achieve the unachievable.

C．Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.

D．Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.

C

“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what’s done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, “no regrets” suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.

Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret “al1 the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret.

If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. True, being overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.

As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive (认知) achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has soured, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing.

But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.

28．What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra?

A．Attract more people to your argument.

B．Send him/her a letter of apology.

C．Boast about being more reasonable.

D．Forget about it and just let it go.

29．Which of the following statements about regret may the writer agree with?

A．We can do nothing about regret.

B．Unhappiness results from regret.

C．Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.

D．Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.

30．What does the underlined word “languishing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A．Improving.   B．Healing.    C．Showing up.    D．Breaking up.

31．What might be a suitable title for the text?

A．Regret to become smarter-if you let it.    B．Long for a different past? Regret it!

C．Regret? Not my way!                 D．Stay away! Regret will heal itself.

D

A case highlights a little-known fact about a poor diet: In addition to being tied to obesity, heart disease and cancer, they can also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision, according to a report published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

A teen who ate nothing but fries, chips and other junk food for years slowly went blind. The teen’s problems began at age 14, when he went to the doctor’s office complaining of tiredness. The teen was reportedly a picky eater, and blood tests showed he had anemia and low levels of vitamin B12. He was treated with injections of vitamin B12 along with advice on how to improve his diet.

However, by age 15, he developed hearing loss and vision problems, but doctors couldn’t seem to find the cause—results from an MRI and eye exam were normal. Over the next two years, the teen’s vision got progressively worse. When the boy was 17, an eye test showed that his vision was 20/200 in both eyes, the threshold (起始点) for being “legally blind” in the United States.

Further tests showed the teen had developed damage to the optic nerve (视神经). In addition, the teen still had low levels of vitamin B12, along with low levels of selenium (硒) and vitamin D．These deficiencies caused doctors to ask the teen about the foods he ate. “The patient admitted that, since elementary school, the only things he ate had been fries, chips, white bread, processed ham slices and sausage,” the authors from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom wrote in the report.

This kind of vision loss is potentially reversible (可逆的) if caught early. However, by the time the teen was diagnosed, his vision loss was permanent. What’s more, wearing glasses would not help the teen’s vision, because damage to the optic nerve cannot be corrected with lenses, said the study lead author Dr. Denize Atan.

32．What does the text mainly talk about?

A．A poor diet can cause poor vision.       B．Vitamin B12 is important to vision.

C．Unhealthy food causes many diseases.    D．Doctors’ advice is helpful to people.

33．Why did the teen’s condition get worse?

A．His illness couldn’t be treated.      B．He kept having a poor diet.

C．Vitamin B12 didn’t work on him.    D．He developed damage to his nerves.

34．What does the underlined word “deficiencies” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Barriers. B．Materials. C．Reasons. D．Shortages.

35．What can be inferred about the teen?

A．His optic nerve will be recovered.       B．His problems will be solved well.

C．He is advised to take in more nutrition.   D．He needn’t wear glasses any more.

Live-stream marketing: A rural rags-to-riches story?

For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. ____36____ It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. In this regard, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. ____37____

In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. ____38____ It is turning the smartphone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers. Live-streaming has greatly boosted the province’s produce sales in the past two years. We now have a great business model in place, combining products with high-quality live stream platforms and support packages from the government. ____39____ Anyway, the continuous development of live-stream marketing is ready to play a big role in raising rural incomes in relatively backward provinces like Yunnan. E-commerce live-streaming is doing pretty well nowadays, but farm produce only accounts for a small share, mainly due to the lack of experienced hosts and infrastructure in rural areas.

____40____ How to grow live stream marketing for farm products? Short videos or live-streams, the key is to meet consumers’ demand. High-quality products alone aren’t enough; they must consider buyers’ preferences as well.

A. There arises a question.

B. Government policies and guidance should follow up.

C. The expansion of 5G technology is a vital contribution.

D. The biggest barrier is lack of efficient marketing channels.

E. China has a tradition of intensive cultivation and a huge rural population.

F. But we should establish a complete supply chain based on strict standards.

G. Once back they can introduce more digitally advanced approaches to agricultural management.

    Summer vacation was coming. Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.

    The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents' eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.

    A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.

    Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting  excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”

    Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn't stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly(倔强地)，“I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.

    The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs... How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!

     But now Grandpa couldn't get up. This made them worried. "We'd think out a way to cheer him up." Jack said." Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird." Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!" Jack shook his head.

     Then a bright idea came to Jack's mind. "Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!"

Para 1: Berlin thought it was a good idea.

Para 2: Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa.
