Whenever a new person walks through the gates of the Science of Spirituality Meditation (冥想) and Ecology Centre in Richmond, one often hears the words, “I never knew such a place existed. It's so peaceful and the gardens are so beautiful.”
In 2005, this centre was an old school, with a history going back to 1904. Rabbits had damaged the foundations (地基) and rats ran along littered hallways. The traffic roaring along Steveston Highway was hardly beneficial to meditation, and fresh air! Neither did we have sufficient funds at the time to carry out a purchase. But there was hope, wild hope! We had a vision. We could make it a reality.
Our group was inspired to take this step under the loving guidance of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, a living Master in an ancient family of spiritual experts. Despite the small size of our local charity, we took chances to purchase this place that spoke to us at some very deep level. Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. Thus, we could begin the physical origins of the SOS Meditation and Ecology Centre.
And to create it took a great deal of sweat efforts. Gardens were dug and planted by vol-unteers. Brothers and sisters worked together. Over the following years, beautiful gardens were established and every inch of the old building and roof took on a new look.
From a wishful dream and a loving handful, this special place, with its green gardens, became a reality. The Centre has become a sign of light and love in a materialistic society, where seekers find peace, joy, help in meditation, friendship and an opportunity to grow spiritually.
24. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. The founders intended to give up the center at the beginning.
B. The centre was not originally suited for meditation.
C. The founders had sufficient funds to carry out the project.
D. The centre was a school with good environment.
25. How was the centre founded?
A. With the help of the old school.
B. With the funds donated by a spiritual expert.
C. With the contributions of generous people.
D. With the local government 's financial support.
26. Which word can best describe the members?
A. Selfless. B. Distant. C. Rude. D. Conventional.
27. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A. To call for people to meditate.
B. To introduce an old school to readers.
C. To tell the story about the construction of the centre.
D. To explain the influence of meditation on average people.
C
As a short-distance track and field runner at high school and college, I often found myself wondering which of the eight or sometimes nine lanes (跑道) on the track was the fastest. It was conventional wisdom that the middle lanes—lanes three through six—were the best.
This idea, in a way, is baked into the rules of track and field. In events with multiple heats- -from the college level all the way to the Olympics- -the people who run faster times in earlier heats are assigned to middle lanes in later heats. In other words, the fastest runners are rewarded with what are, supposedly, better lane assignment (分配).
Using 20 years of track and field data from the International Association of Athletics Fed-erations, I found that the long-held beliefs about lane advantages are not supported by the data. And in fact, for the 200-meter sprint (冲刺), the evidence suggests that lanes often re-garded as the least desirable are actually the fastest.
In most races, the fastest runners are assigned to the middle lanes according to the com-petition rules. Not surprisingly, the fastest runners—who are in the middle lanes—often win. Are these racers winning-because those lanes are the fastest or because those runners tend to be the fastest?
Next time you're watching any of the shorter track and field events in the Olympics, lis-ten and see if anyone repeats the old adage that the middle lanes are the fastest. The data shows this isn't true, so if someone in the outside lanes takes a surprise gold, you'll know it is not because of their lane assignment, but because they were a slow qualifier (入围者).
28. What was the traditional belief in the track and field lanes?
A. All lanes were the same.
B. The middle lanes were the best.
C. The outside lanes were the best.
D. The inner lanes were the best.
29. How did the author get his finding?
A. By using other research results.
B. By experimenting which lane was the fastest.
C. By watching the latest sprinters' competition,
D. By referring to long-term data.
30, What does the underlined word “adage” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A. Package. B. Storey. C. Saying. D. Stage.
31. Which of the following does the author approve of?
A. Winning racers often run fastest.
B. Winning racers tend to be in the fastest lane.
C. Losing racers tend to be in the slowest lane.
D. Racers win because their lanes are the fastest.
D
Off the coast of Formentera, an island, lives seagrass that stretches 15 kilometres. The seagrass, covering several hectares, is made up of a single organism. The grasses are also long-lived, for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Along with two other kinds of coastal ecosystems- mangrove swamps (红树沼泽) and tidal marshes, seagrass meadows are particu-larly good at taking carbon dioxide from the air.
This role was highlighted in a report, which was published on March 2nd by UNESCO, on blue carbon- -the carbon taken in by Earth's oceanic and coastal ecosystems. In total around 33 billion tons of carbon dioxide, about three quarters of the world's emissions (排放) in 2019, are locked away in the planet's blue carbon sinks (碳汇). Research by Carlos Duarte, the report's author and a marine ecologist, has shown that one hectare of seagrass can suck as much carbon dioxide each year as 15 hectares of rainforest.
One reason that blue-carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks is that underwater forests are thicker than the land-based woods. They can also trap floating pieces and organic matter, which settles on the sea floor and can double the amount of carbon stored away. They have another advantage, too, Climate change is leading to more wildfires around the world. As forests burn, their carbon stocks are released back into the atmosphere. Unlike forests on land, blue-carbon ecosystems do not burn,
Blue-carbon ecosystems may not be fired, but they remain affected to other sorts of disas-ters. In May 2020 hurricane Amphan destroyed 1,200 square kilometres of mangrove forest. A marine (海洋的) heatwave in Australian waters in 2010 and 2011 damaged around one third of the world's largest seagrass meadow in Shark Bay. “Mangrove forests can weaken or con-trol waves and provide natural barriers to storm surges. Protecting and expanding them, then, appears to be a must,” said a marine biologist.
32. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The real definition of blue carbon.
B. The capacity of the blue-carbon ecosystems to store carbon.
C. The doubt about the blue carbon ecosystems.
D. The special features of the seagrass.
33. Why can the blue-carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks?
A. They aren't influenced by natural disasters.
B. There are more underwater animals.
C. Their carbon stocks are released back,.
D. They have great ability to absorb carbon.
34. What do the marine biologist's words mean?
A. Blue carbon ecosystems can be fired.
B. Mangrove forests can strengthen waves.
C. Mangrove forests are too strong to be broken.
D. Humans should preserve blue carbon ecosystems.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plants in the Ocean Are Better at Storing Carbon
B. The Grasses Can Store More Carbon Than Your Expectation
C. Mangrove Forests Can Control Waves Efficiently
D. Blue-Carbon Ecosystem Are Expanding Much Faster

You need to be aware of what you are eating. The way it impacts your health is essential to a healthy well-being. Some lifestyle changes can help to get away from health risks and en-sure a healthier lifestyle. Replacing highly processed food with more organic and natural food options is important. 39

Janelle would be late for work. However, what she 41 in the mirror made her stop. Being a busy college 42 just one year removing from her teenage years, she wasn't exactly concerned about the 43 of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant didn't think so. He had recently 44 the staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for 45 to wear clean, unwrinkled (无褶皱的) blouses. But if she stopped to 46 the blouse normally, she would be late. Her boss didn't 47 anyone to be late for work.

It took her more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her blouse 51 . And she spent a shift 52 the pain of the burn.
We have all been there. For me, it was cutting my hair. For a friend of mine, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still 53 .
There isa right way and a wrong 54 of doing things. “If a thing is worth doing,” Dad said, “it is worth doing it right.” There is a reason why something is done in 55 ways. Those old, boring ways work.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Detecting strong X- ray flares (耀斑) beaming from the center of a black hole is nothing new. But detecting light signals from behind one is a different story. That's 56 the force of gravity in a black hole is so severe that nothing that goes in it can come out. No scientist has managed 57 (find) light from beyond—until now.
In contrast 58 what their name implies, supermassive (特大质量的) black holes can be one of the brightest sources of continuous light in the universe. Their 59 (extremely) gravity brings in all kinds of material around them. Little is known about supermassive black hole coronas, so scientists turned to black hole I Zwicky 1, 60 lies 100 million light years from Earth, to investigate the beams shooting out.
Scientists 61 (detect) smaller X-ray “echoes” around the supermassive black hole, in addition to the expected flares. The obvious light characteristics of these pulsing beams (脉冲光束) indicated that they were the same X-ray flares, but reflected from the back side, 62 (mean) the supermassive black hole's gravity must have actually abnormal space time, thus bending the beams around in a detectable direction by specialized telescopes. The 63 (finding), published in Nature, support a key 64 ( predict) from Einstein's theory of gen-eral relativity.
This is the 65 (one) research to confirm what the famous physicist predicted more than half a century ago.

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。
Police are likely used to people approaching them with questions. One day in Michigan, a police officer named Sgt. Heather walked to a mom and asked her a question regarding her family's living situation.
The woman named Erin Harrison and her twin daughters were homeless, and she simply asked the police officer if it was illegal to sleep in their car. From their conversation, Sgt. Heather knew that Erin was going to be sleeping in the car so that she could get the kids to the school in the next morning. Erin told Sgt. Heather that she and her two daughters Hayden and Abbigale were driven out of their rented house because she couldn't afford to pay the skyrocketing (飞涨的) rent price.
However, they needed a place to sleep. They've been surviving in their car on the parking lot of the children's elementary school for a while now. They had nowhere else to go. Erin worked day in and day out at a local McDonalds to take care of her two beautiful daughters, but they weren't able to move into a home yet.
When the police officer was faced with this heartbroken question, she immediately decid-ed to help. As a mom, she knew she had to get the family a place to stay in. Sgt, Heather was also a mother and she couldn't let this family go without a place to stay in. She quickly reached out to some friends and colleagues to gather enough money for a hotel room, so they could at least have one warm and comfortable night.
The police officer also gave a fun birthday party for the twins Hayden and Abbigale. They would celebrate their ninth birthday just a couple of days later. The girls were amazingly surprised and happy because their mother had told them she would not be able to do anything for their birthday due to their present situation.
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。
Luckily, the police department and local community were able to give the twins a party they never expected.



The news about this family in need quickly spread across the town.

参考范文:
Luckily，the police department and local community were able to give the trins a party they never expec-ted. The police station bought balloons for them and helped to decorate the hotel room with balloons and flow-ers. Learning that the twins' favorite food was Pizza, a local bakery donated a cake and a pizza to them. They said it was the most delicious food they had ever eaten. Some children from local community also came to the ho-tel to celebrate the twins' ninth birthday and sang the happy birthday song for them.
The news about this family in need quickly spread across the torn. It even caught the attention of the city leaders, who asked for help on the local news station to get this family a more long-term solution and a place they could call home. Plenty of viewers were inspired by the police officer and decided to help this family. The local community was definitely generous, and more than $2,500 in total was raised in a short time. Erin couldn't thank the local community more and promised that all of the money would be used to get them into a warm home. It's beautiful to see people act with such kindness.
