Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country's insistent problems: garbage and poverty. It's called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than toss your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay's, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners(内衬) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they're single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is "waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around," Oleita told The Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that's only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. "We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally," she says.
And, of course, there's the symbolism of salvaging bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It's a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com, "I think it's time to show connections between all of these issues."
24. What is true about the Chip Bag Project?
A. It welcomes donations of money.
B. It collects chip bags from trash cans.
C. It concerns poverty and environment.
D. It offers only one kind of sleeping bags.
25. What does the underlined word "sanitize" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Pack. B. Clean. C. Fold. D. Gather.
26. Which of the following can best describe Eradajere Oleita?
A. Creative and caring. B. Considerate and strong-willed.
C. Generous and hard-working. D. Courageous and warm-hearted.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Powerful Reminder B. Garbage and Poverty
C. Chipping Away At Poverty D. Advanced Sleeping Bags
C
People who walk briskly(迅速地) for two and a half hours a week have a 25 percent lower risk of depression, according to a study. Researchers from Cambridge University found that physical activity in line with government guidelines was also linked to better mental health. Their paper, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found that even those who managed half the recommended amount had an 18 percent lower risk of depression than those who did nothing.
Dr Matt Pearce, first author on the paper, said, "The key message of the paper is that risk of depression is substantially lower for individuals who are physically active, and that most of these lower benefits occur at levels below the current health recommendations. Physical activity should therefore be encouraged to improve mental health even in inactive individuals who struggle to reach current recommendations."
The research combined data from 15 earlier studies, with 191,130 participants, all looking at the relationship between depression and physical activity. Since the study was observational in nature, it cannot prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The researchers found "only minor additional benefits" to mental health when people were physically active beyond the recommended levels. Professor James Woodcock, a senior author on the paper, said, "There are two key features of this relationship: firstly, that the biggest difference in the risk of depression was seen when comparing those reporting no activity with those reporting a small amount". "Even ten minutes a day appears to make a big difference. Secondly, that there appear to be minimal additional benefits of doing high volumes of activity."
The researchers said there were likely to be multiple reasons for their findings, including exercise activating certain networks in the brain and body, releasing feel good hormones called endorphins(内啡肽). Besides, people who are physically active usually sleep better, a key component of protecting your mental health. It might also be that improvements to individuals' body image from being more active, and increases in social interaction during activity played a role. Getting out in green spaces was another likely factor to boost mood, with many studies linking the use of green spaces and lower depression risks.
28. What did the researchers from Cambridge University discover?
A. Physical activity can reduce depression.
B. Brisk walking should be recommended.
C. Doing exercise can boost overall health.
D. Moderation is the key in physical activity.
29. How did the researchers draw the conclusion?
A. By repeating 15 earlier experiments.
B. By analyzing data from 15 previous studies.
C. By proving the cause-and-effect relationship.
D. By collecting data from 191,130 participants.
30. Which of the following statements would Professor James Woodcock agree with?
A. A small amount of physical activity can work wonders.
B. Extra physical activity might do harm to people's health.
C. It is highly recommended to take high volumes of exercise.
D. A 10-minute workout every day brings the biggest difference.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Endorphins activate certain parts in the brain.
B. Green spaces are helpful in lifting one's spirits.
C. Stable mental health can improve sleep quality.
D. Improved body image increases social interaction.
D
Every autumn, polar bears living along the edge of the Canada's Western Hudson Bay pass through the sub-Arctic town of Churchill, Manitoba. The yearly movement has helped make the area's bears one of the most studied groups in the world. Bear-watching adds about $5.3 million to the local economy each year. But a new report suggests Hudson Bay polar bear population has dropped 27 percent during the past five years, with just 618 remaining in the area in 2021.
Polar bears depend on frozen salt water, called sea ice, to help them hunt seals for food. But the Arctic is now warming about four times faster than the rest of the world. Around Hudson Bay, seasonal sea ice is melting earlier in the spring, and forming later in the fall. This is forcing bears to go longer periods without food.
John Whiteman, chief research scientist at the nonprofit conservation group Polar Bears International, called the population drop "totally shocking", and said, "If continued sea ice loss cannot be stopped, it will one day lead to a total loss of the area's polar bear population. Climate-caused changes affecting the local sea population might also be driving polar bear numbers down. If worldwide carbon emissions(排放) are not heavily reduced, most of the world's polar bear populations are in danger of collapsing by 2100."
The number of deaths in young bears and female bears in Western Hudson Bay is worrisome. "Being one of the southernmost populations, those Western Hudson Bay are the types of bears we've always predicted would be affected by changes in the environment," said Stephen Atkinson, a lead writer of the government report who has studied polar bear populations for more than 30 years. Young bears need energy to grow and cannot survive long periods without enough food. Female bears struggle because they use up a lot of energy searching for food while caring for young bears. "The ability of polar bears in the Western Hudson Bay to reproduce will decrease, because fewer young bears survive and become adults," said Atkinson.
32. Why does the writer mention the yearly movement of Hudson Bay polar bears in the first paragraph?
A. To explain a point. B. To present a fact.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce the topic.
33. What might have caused the shocking drop in Hudson Bay polar bear population?
A. Less access to food. B. Longer season of sea ice.
C. Stable local sea population. D. Reduced carbon emissions.
34. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Polar bears' ability to reproduce will be improved.
B. Fewer young and female bears survive than adult males.
C. Female bears' poor hunting skills endanger their survival.
D. Both young and female polar bears suffer from lack of food.
35. What is the writer's attitude towards the future of Hudson Bay polar bears?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Optimistic.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Leave Your Comfort Zone
The comfort zone is a behavioral state within which a person uses a limited set of behaviors to deliver a steady level of performance, causing their progress to cease. But life is full of opportunities to step outside the comfort zone. Here are some ways one might try to do so.
Do everyday things differently. In everyday life, there are plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Turn off your smartphone and television while having dinner, decide what to wear more quickly, or just slow down to take in the surroundings on a walk. 36
Try a new diet. Many people want to improve their diets and stop relying on "comfort foods". 37 Shifting to a healthier diet can be as challenging as it is rewarding, with self-trust growing as you hit milestone goals along the way.
38 Many people are longing for this goal. For some, it can mean running their first 5K. But for others, it might be completing a marathon. Aiming higher with exercise is representative of leaving the comfort zone and a great way to get the ball rolling.
Get creative. Creativity—anything from writing a poem to building a business—usually involves an element of risk. 39 Therefore, failing and accompanying learning are expected outcomes. Exercising creativity is a good way to train yourself to have a growth mindset and let go of a need for perfection from the outset.
Challenge your beliefs. It's easy to get stuck in our ways, but this can lead to self-satisfaction—a feature of being in the comfort zone. 40 While this can be uncomfortable, it enables growth and insight by challenging deep-rooted beliefs. This might take several forms, such as reading varied book genres, diversifying who you talk to, and visiting new places.
A. Take workouts to the next level.
B. Motivate yourself with a new sport.
C. Doing so often means trying something new
D. Creative efforts are about stepping into the unknown
E. Therefore, we need to explore alternative perspectives.
F. These changes break you out of old, comfortable routines.
G. Benefits of leaving the comfort zone won't happen overnight.

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。
Steve grabbed his bat and glove. "See you later, Mom. I'm going to Paul's." With these words, he raced out the door and slammed(砰地关上) it behind him. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day, so they could make the freshman team.
Seeing Paul waiting outside, Steve lifted his bat onto his shoulder and asked, "What are you doing? Where's your stuff?" Paul shook his head, "I have to clean Mr. Thimpson's garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can't do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Thimpson's. They're kind of old." "Okay," said Steve. "I'll help you. We'll get done quicker working together."
The boys went down the block to the Thimpson's and got started. They put boxes that were scattered(散落) around the garage floor on shelves before they swept. As Paul lifted a big box onto a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope. He picked up the envelope and found it wasn't sealed. He opened it, inside which were lots of one hundred dollar bills. Gasping in astonishment, Paul pulled out a handful of bills and showed them to Steve.
"Where did you get that?" asked Steve. Paul pointed to the shelf, explaining, "It just fell down when the box fell. There's got to be a couple of thousand dollars here." He looked past Steve to the opening garage door." Nobody is around. If I take some, I bet no one will ever know," added Paul, uncontrollably picturing the bat and glove in McGroger's Sports Store that he had longed for.
Steve frowned and shook his head. "Are you crazy? That's stealing." "Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don't get paid. It's not really stealing; it's kind of payment for my hard work." Paul defended himself. "Forget about it. You're better than that." Steve grabbed the money from Paul's hand, stuffed it back in the envelope and put the envelope back on the shelf. "Come on! Let's get done and go to the park," Steve urged.

21-23 DDB 24-27 CBAC 28-31ABAB 32-35 DADC
A篇
【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Science News Explores这本杂志的订阅方法、杂志内容和文章撰写者等一些基本情况。
21. D
理解事实细节。在“What's inside the magazine?”这部分中提到，“And we also profile scientists and engineers who will inspire young readers to explore careers in STEM.”可见杂志中会包含科学家们鼓舞人心、给人以启迪的故事。
22. D
理解事实细节。由文章第一段“all in a fun and accessible way”和倒数第二部分“Though many have PhDs in science, they're pros at describing things in ways kids can understand”可知，该杂志的文章由专业人士撰写，但都用孩子们能理解的方式来描述，有趣又易懂。
23. B
理解文章出处。由“Click HERE to download a sample issue for free!”可知，点击该链接后可以下载免费的样刊阅读，且文章最后也给出了几个社交媒体的图标，因此本文应该选取自网站。
B篇
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要介绍了来自美国底特律26岁的学生Eradajere Oleita发起的一个项目——Chip Bag Project，既减少了垃圾的产生又缓解了贫困。
24. C
理解事实细节。由第一段“Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country's persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It's called the Chip Bag Project.”和第四段“We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally”可知，这个项目不仅与垃圾这一环境问题有关，还与贫困这一社会问题有关，所以C对。
25. B
猜测词义。根据第二段“…, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together.”可知，在收集了薯片包装袋之后，Oleita和志愿者们在热的肥皂水中先“sanitize”，再把它们裁开，摊平，并熨烫在一起，之后才能进一步制作成为睡袋，所以不是打包、收集和折叠，必须要清洁干净才行，选B。
26. A
推理判断。根据第一段“The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than toss your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.”可知，Oleita发起的这个项目，既减少了垃圾又缓解了贫困，一箭双雕，很有创意，同时关爱homeless people，关心他人，所以选A。
27. C
理解主旨大意。根据第一段“Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country's persistent problems: garbage and poverty.”和第五段“It's a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand.”可知Oleita的这个项目将原本的垃圾——薯片包装袋——变废为宝，成为可供流浪汉使用的睡袋，将垃圾这一环境问题和贫困这一社会问题联系起来考虑，只有“Chipping Away At Poverty”这两方面都兼顾到了。
C篇
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了科学家们一项新的研究发现，即体育活动，如快步走，能有效抑制抑郁。即便每周未达到推荐运动量，少量的体育运动也是大有助益的。
28. A
理解事实细节。由第一段二、三两句可知，体育活动能有效抑制抑郁，即便每周运动量只有推荐量的一半，也能大大降低抑郁的风险，所以选A。
29. B
推理判断。根据第三段可知，研究者们是把之前的15个相关研究的数据做了梳理、分析，关注了抑郁和体育活动之间的联系，才总结出这个结论的，选B。
30. A
推理判断。根据第四段“Professor James Woodcock, a senior author on the paper, said…...of doing high volumes of activity.”可知，少量的体育活动就能见到巨大的成效，大大降低抑郁的风险。但是大量的体育运动带来的额外益处却很少，选A。
31. B
理解事实细节。根据最后一段“Getting out in green spaces was another likely factor to boost mood”可知，到户外绿地去有助于我们改善情绪，选B。
D篇
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章提到了哈德逊湾的北极熊数量近年急剧下降，分析了造成这个现象的可能的原因，和相关人员对此的一些担忧。
32. D
理解目的意图。根据第一段“But a new report suggests Hudson Bay polar bear population has dropped 27 percent during the past five years, with just 618 remaining in the area in 2021.”和之后几段来看，作者在第一段提及哈德逊湾的北极熊每年迁徙是为了引出本文的话题——哈德逊湾的北极熊数量近年急剧下降。
33. A
理解事实细节。根据本文第二段可知，北极熊依赖海冰捕食。但由于气候变暖，海冰融化更早，形成更晚，冰期时间缩短，减少了它们捕获事物的途径。
34. D
理解事实细节。由最后一段“Young bears need energy to grow and cannot survive long periods without enough food.”和“Female bears struggle because they use up a lot of energy searching for food while caring for young bears.”可知，幼熊和母熊都饱受食物短缺之苦，D对。
35. C
理解观点态度。由最后一段第一句和最后一句可知，哈德逊湾的北极熊种群中，幼熊和母熊数量的减少让科学家们很担心，因为这意味着更少的幼熊能存活到成年，进而影响它们将来的繁殖力，选C。
第二节
36-40 FCADE
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是舒适区，以及离开舒适区的一些方法。
36. F
根据这一段的小标题——用不同的方式处理日常事务和36空之前列举的一系列不同于往常的惯例做法，推断出此处应该说做了这些事情会对走出舒适区有什么帮助，即让你打破固有的、舒适的惯例，选F。
37. C
根据空前“improve their diets and stop relying on 'comfort foods.”可知，要改善饮食和停止依赖舒适区食物，此处应该说“要这么做，就意味着要尝试新的东西”，即空之后的“shifting to a healthier diet”，C符合。
38. A
根据此空的位置，并结合上下几个段落，空处应该是一个小标题，能概括本段的主要内容，从A、B中选择。根据后文“aiming higher with exercise”可知，本段建议用运动来使自己走出舒适区，不是从零开始尝试一种新的运动，而是在原来的基础上制定更高的目标，A选项中的“next level”符合。
39. D
根据本段小标题，得知本段中心话题为“变得有创意(get creative)”。再根据39空后的连词“therefore”推断出本空和后一句之间为因果关系。D项意为“创造性的努力是迈向未知的领域”，既与主题有关，又阐明了为什么“失败和随之而来的学习是预料中的结果”。
40. E
结合本段中心“Challenge your beliefs”和空前的一句“一成不变是很容易的，但是这会导致自我满足”，所以要“探索其他的视角”，而且解释了后一句“this”指代的内容，选E。

41. C. 考查动词词义辨析。结合句意，由下文“to make myself feel better, and to celebrate”可知，空格处表达的意思应为我用食物来“消除”坏情绪，让自己感觉好一些，或来庆祝，kill符合句意。add意为“添加”，share意为“分享”，experience意为“经历”，均不符合文意，故正确答案为C。

56.考查连词。句意：2023年春节档电影票房收入近67.6亿元，位列中国影史春节档票房榜第二位并传达出我国电影市场强势复苏的信号。分析句子结构可知，making for和sending是并列的非谓语动词，表示并列关系应用连词and连接。

第二节（满分25分）
A Possible version:
"Hello, boys. Mrs. Thimpson baked you a chocolate cake." Mr. Thimpson appeared and invited them in. His sudden appearance gave Paul such a start. He managed a smile and stammered, "Ugh…sure, Mr. Thimpson. Let us finish up and…and we'll be right in." After Mr. Thimpson went out, Paul turned to Steve, sighing in relief, "Phew! That was close. Steve, you're right. I don't know what got into me just now. In fact, Mrs. Thimpson always makes me cakes and cookies." Then they got down to cleaning the garage quickly and before long they found themselves at the table enjoying big slices of chocolate cake and a glass of milk each.
As they wolfed the cake and were about to leave, Mrs. Thimpson stopped Paul. Paul's heart was in mouth again. However, to his surprise, Mrs. Thimson handed him a brand new bat and glove with a gracious smile, "This is for you. I heard this is something you'd like. We try to find little ways to show our appreciation for what you've done for us." Looking at the bat and glove and then at Steve, Paul flushed, shame welling up in him. "Thanks so much. I love them!" Outside, Steve put his hand on Paul's shoulder. "See, you not only have a clear conscience, but also the bat and glove you wanted."
