At a hotel, surrounded by teammates, he got the email."' Dear Spencer Heslop," it read, "you have been invited to participate in the Selection Camp for the US Men's National Team for 2022."

The recent graduate from University of Michigan School of Public Health, dreamed of the opportunity to play for the United States since he was seven years old. After he developed a disease that often results in damage to the spinal cord (脊髓) and nerves ，Heslop's parents pushed him to try wheelchair basketball.

By high school, Heslop played wheelchair basketball on a competitive basketball team. The experience opened his eyes to the world of adaptive sports, which became his favorite. While he was never the biggest or strongest player, Heslop had a feel for the game and a desire to take it further. Faced with many challenges, he worked tirelessly to develop chair skills and conditioning that made him more explosive.

"As I applied to graduate school, | knew | would play wherever I was planning to go," Heslop said. "University of Michigan was near the top of my list academically, I also heard that they were trying to get an adaptive sports program going, and that helped me make my choice," University of Michigan Adaptive Sports and Fitness was formed in 2018 to address the inequitable access to physical activity opportunities, competitive and recreational, for students with disabilities at University of Michigan.

Since Heslop joined the program in 2020, University of Michigan's wheelchair basketball team became part of the NWBA's Division II. After leading the team to an 8th-place finish at the NWBA Nationals in April 2022, Heslop participated in the US Men's National Team Selection Camp where he fought against 30 of the nation's top athletes and made the final twelve-man roster. This gave the recently graduated young man a better shot at his ultimate goal: playing for his country in the Paralympic Games.

When you're bored, you might start playing with a ball or other objects. Such behavior is common in people. Other animals like it too-that's why a dog fetches a stick, or a cat bats at toys. Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time. A new study finds that it's not. Just mammals that like to play.

Bumblebees (大黄蜂) do it too，making them the first insects known to play. In the study, Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona, an insect expert, did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play. Of those,45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults.

A pathway was set up from the bumblebees' nest to a feeding area. One side contained small wooden balls that rolled. The other side had the same number of balls, but they were stuck to the floor. Half balls on each side were colored balls. The rest were left unpainted.

For three hours a day over 18 days, Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren't so interested in the side where the balls didn't move, but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls. Once they managed to roll a ball, they strongly preferred that side. They returned, climbing on the balls and rolling them around. She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls.

"There's something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects," Galpayage Dona says. In another experiment, she sometimes left the balls out overnight. "When | came in the next day, I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls." As with mammals, the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones. Their play tapered off as they got older.

The scientists say it's not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings.

8.How does the author introduce the topic?

A. By describing the fun of play.

B. By analyzing reasons for boredom.

C. By introducing similar phenomena.

D. By presenting animals' cute images.

9. What did the researcher do in the experiment?

A. She trained bumblebees to play balls.

B. She put small balls along the pathway.

C. She set up a pathway in bumblebees' nest.

D. She rewarded the bumblebees with rolled balls.

10. What does the underlined part "tapered off" probably mean in paragraph 5?

A. Mattered.   B. Helped.    C. Decreased.    D. Emerged.

11. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Bumblebees Prefer Shape to Color

B. Balls Are Bumblebees' Favorite Toys

C. Playing with Objects Is Animals' Second Nature

D. Bumblebees Are the First Insects Known to Play

D

The UN this week launched a report urging companies to stop issuing false net-zero targets that amount to greenwashing.

Greenwashing is a term used to describe situations where companies mislead consumers by claiming to be eco-friendly or sustainable as a marketing plan rather than as a core principle of their business model. Often, these industries spend more money making themselves appear sustainable than they do taking actual sustainable measures into their company.

Cities, financial institutions, and scores of companies have announced plans to reduce their emissions to zero, which, in principle, should help the fight against climate change.

"The problem is that the criteria for these net-zero commitments have varying levels of precision and loopholes(漏洞), " said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres during the launch of the report.

Many net-zero plans contain far-away or unclear targets and often call for the use of unproved technologies like carbon capture and tree planting, which effectively allow companies to continue polluting the atmosphere. Studies show that most of these net-zero plans will do little to stop temperatures from rising. For example, many oil majors have announced plans to reduce emissions from their operations to zero by2050 that do not take into account the carbon emitted by the fossil fuels they sell, which would allow them to increase production. Far from decreasing, fossil fuel production is going strong.

To close these net- zero loopholes, the UN this week released a report that includes 10 recommendations to ensure that companies, cities, regions, and other non-state actors issue credible and accountable net-zero commitments. "Their plans cannot rely on cheap carbon credits instead of immediately cutting their own emissions," Guterres said.

Financial institutions need to cut down emissions from all their investments and businesses need to bring down the carbon footprint of their supply chain, the report said. The report's lead author, Catherine McKenna, urged companies to release new net zero targets within a year. The updated targets must contain concrete actionable details.

12. What does "greenwashing" refer to?

A. A green technology.

B. A misleading statement.

C. A business model.

D. A spending target.

13. Why does the author mention the oil majors?

A. To prove oil majors are really responsible.

B. To set some good examples for other companies.

C. To show some net-zero commitments make no sense.

D. To indicate the benefit of net-zero plans to climate change.

14. How does Guterres feel about the issued net-zero plans?

A. Dissatisfied.

B. Guilty.

C. Shocked.

D. Confused.

15. What is advised to do to fix net-zero loopholes?

A. Plant more trees.

B. Share more supply chains.

C. Depend on cheap carbon credits.

D. Make concrete actionable targets.

My name is Maeli. | am so lucky because | have Lizzy Jo. She is my cousin and my friend!

Yesterday our teacher brought out a big box just before the last bell rang. “| have a little gift for each of you,” she said. Then she gave each of us a perfect popcorn ball. Each popcorn ball was in a transparent bag that was tied with a ribbon (丝带). Just that little ribbon made the gift look so fancy! Sometimes, it's the tiny details that make things special.

I happen to have a great appreciation for popcorn balls, so | was pleased. Lizzy Jo and I rode the bus home. The moment I was off the bus, | untied the ribbon and placed it into my pocket. Then | took the popcorn ball out of the plastic bag. | didn't even stop walking. Unfortunately, my feet were in a big hurry to get home, and sometimes when feet are in a hurry, they trip.

My feet tripped. | fell. And my perfect popcorn ball dropped right into a yucky, murky puddle ( 水坑) .I was okay，but my popcorn ball wasn't. Have you ever seen a perfect popcorn ball in a yucky, murky puddle? It isn't something that you want to take a photo of and frame and keep forever.

I looked at my popcorn ball. That moment definitely was not the time to use the two-second rule, which | used at my grandma's house last week. I accidentally dropped my cookie on her floor. | picked it up really fast, and I admitted that | ate that cookie. But this was a very different situation. This involved a puddle.

I wanted to cry. | knew that it's silly to cry over a popcorn ball, but that popcorn ball was a gift! I was highly disappointed.

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。

Lizzy turned to give me a hug.

Later that night, looking at the “new” ball, I had an idea.
