Ms Yuting Zhou is an early-career environmental advisor working on industrial wastewater pollution management, In her work, she’s learning about an important type of environmental pollution, and finding ways to help companies manage water resources better.
When we asked Yuting how old she was when she got interested in environmental problems, we were surprised by her response. “I must have been about six years old. I used to watch an American TV series about an environmentalist Superhero named Captain Planet.”
There is one serious pollution event somewhere in the world. The concern about environmental issues deeply influenced Yuting. But how does one prepare to be a “Superwoman”? For Yuting, it came down to a reflection on what she might be good at — in her case, the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects-and making considered choices in her education.
She began to study environmental engineering, and found a passion for the subject. “During my graduate studies.” I researched different kinds of health effects.
While she developed valuable skills that would help her in her career, she also learnt more about herself and her role in the world. “I learnt that science requires a scientific proof through repeated and sometimes long processes.

Within three days of graduating, Yuting was on a plane heading to Kenya.

The Oxford Word of the Year 2022 winner may surprise you. The winning phrase was “goblin mode (哥布林模式)” — a type of behavior often seen as lazy. People who are in goblin mode tend to reject social expectations, such as usual gatherings.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, however. US language expert Ben Zimmer commented that the lifestyle means that “people are looking at social norms in new ways”. Many young people worldwide go “goblin mode” seeking to make peace with their true selves. Without pretty covers like digital editing, we are not always the perfect image that we tend to present to others. Staying true to ourselves, however, doesn’t mean that we must avoid troubles. Bilibili, a leading video platform, announced that elegance was the bullet comment (弹幕) of the year. It refers to the graceful and stylish manners. And traditionally, the word is more often used to describe people of higher social classes. But now, young people in China are using the word to emphasize an ability to control and balance life for ordinary people. From bravely facing troubles in life to sharing delightful moments and spreading joy, elegance is no longer a privilege. Rather, it is our positive attitude to life-that we will stay calm and strong no matter what life brings-that is most important.
Take pandemic as an example, it’s a topic that we cannot ignore. Three years into the pandemic, we are gradually letting go of our fears about it. It will likely not end dramatically, but rather result in coexistence between humans and the virus. Our life may never be the same as before the pandemic, but it doesn’t have to be. Video chats, online meetings and classes. We are closer than ever to connecting digitally with each other on a new level. It’s time to face new opportunities and challenges in the year ahead. And remember: we have made it through the pandemic — is there anything that we cannot overcome?
8．What may people with “goblin mode” do?
A．They may seek a fancy lifestyle. B．They may present a perfect image.
C．They may post edited photographs. D．They may accept what they are.
9．What’s the real elegance according to young people?
A．It’s a quality owned by people of higher social status.
B．It’s a privilege only shared and valued by rich people.
C．It’s a positive attitude towards ups and downs in life.
D．It’s an ability to spread graceful and stylish manners.
10．The author introduces “real elegance” probably________
A．to inform us the importance of it. B．to urge us to face challenges bravely.
C．to push us to pursue higher status. D．to advise us to ignore pandemic.
11．Which of the following saying can be applied to the last paragraph?
A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．He who laughs last laughs best.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．Fear always springs from ignorance.
D
Studies on the importance of sleep for health and the various effects of not having enough sleep have long been well-known. Being short of sleep can lead to poor memory and daytime sleepiness. It’s also been connected to diseases and weakens immune(免疫的)function. However, more than three-quarters of us fall asleep after 11pm and nearly a third stay up until 1am.
The concept(概念)of sleep procrastination was introduced in a 2014 study by Utrecht University in The Netherlands, which explained that it meant “failing to go to bed at the intended time, while nothing prevents a person from doing so”. If so, it will bring terrible results.
Studies have shown that “bedtime procrastination” is connected with a person’s working life during the day. “They feel out of control in their day life and the night is when they can be free,” says Dr Saliha Afridi. “It is full of things they ‘have to do’ rather than what they ‘want to do’. ” Studies have also found that increased working hours and the reduced leisure time may cause much stress and sleep procrastination. On occasion, people have trouble with feelings, concern and loneliness, so they were controlled by using social media, making them stay up late.
So how to avoid it? People should avoid thinking too much before bedtime and stay away from digital devices. Besides, taking a warm shower before bed and going to bed at the intended time are also important.
12．What’s the effect of not having enough sleep?
A．Increasing the risk of injuries. B．Suffering from much stress.
C．Feeling sleepy in the daytime. D．Losing the previous memory.
13．What does the underlined phrase “sleep procrastination” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Staying up. B．Keeping awake. C．Getting up late. D．Falling asleep.
14．What may cause unhealthy bedtime?
A．A variety of hobbies. B．Boring social activities.
C．Addiction to digital devices. D．Working too many hours.
15．What is the author’s suggestion?
A．Form a good sleep habit. B．Take regular exercise.
C．Listen to some soft music. D．Surf the Internet less.

Ways to help kids explore nature
Summer is the best time for kids to spend time in nature. Here are some ways to help kids explore nature in the summer holidays.
16 You don’t have to teach kids to love nature because they already do. Young children naturally love the outdoors and are fascinated by dirt, rocks, trees and so on. Therefore, the parent’s role is more about removing distractions like phones and tablets to enable that exploration to take place.
Allow for full engagement with nature. 17 Bug bites will eventually disappear. Cuts and broken bones heal in time. Let your kid throw themselves into the natural world freely and resist (忍住) the parental urge to shout, “Be careful! Put that down! Ew, that’s dirty!”
Set a goal for the summer. Make it your family’s mission to spend as much time outside as possible in summer. Sit down with your kids and brainstorm ways of doing so. Create a list of places in your area that you can visit and check them off the lit. 18
Prepare an outdoor exploration kit (工具包). Make your nature adventure easy and safe by putting together an exploration kit in advance. Keep it in a box or a bag in your car or on your bike. 19 They can include hats, sunscreen, snacks, rain jackets and a water bottle.
Have a positive attitude. 20 Instead, consider it a welcome escape for yourself as well. Kids are the best possible excuse to get away from your desk, away from the piles of laundry and dishes, and out of the house for a few hours.
A．Clothes can be washed.
B．Start by going outside.
C．Letting the children get in touch with nature should not feel like a burden in any way.
D．You can also consider starting a nature club using online resources.
E．Let kids take the lead.
F．When kids are involved in planning, they’re more eager to participate.
G．Don’t forget the usual necessities that make outdoor adventures much more pleasant.

Small stories often have a great truth in them. One day I 36 (approach) several massive creatures when I came to a sudden stop. It was well beyond me that these huge animals should 37 (limit) by only some ropes. It was obvious that the animals could easily escape from these small ropes 38 (tie) to their front legs. However, they did not. I 39 (spot) a trainer close by and wondered 40 the elephants just stood where they were and had no 41 (intend) to break away.
“Well,” he replied, “as they’re very young we tie them with the same size rope and it’s enough to hold them 42 their age. As they grow up, they’re conditioned to hold the belief that they can never run away. They think the ropes are bound to still hold them, so they do not struggle 43 (break) free.” I was shocked. The large animals could easily move away from their bonds but they felt they couldn’t, so they were stuck right there.
In our life, a number of people are brought up with the same wrong self-limiting thoughts — I’m not excellent enough 44 why try it if I’m not going to make 45 However, we oughtn’t to underestimate (低估) our capability, talent and potential. Instead, we should believe in ourselves. After all, we need to change with the times and think outside the box.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they met Mrs. Evans, their kind­hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the Go Green, a non­profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing speech. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they worked together quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his speech over and over again.
注意：
1、所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2、续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1
A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.

Dear Diary,
Recently, I participated in the activity of recording your beautiful life held by my school. And through it, I learn to appreciate the beauty lying in everyday life.
This week, I was busy with my preparations for the final exams. To achieve ideal grades, I not only made a practical review plan but also followed it without any delay. Besides, I got much encouragement from both my teachers and parents, which helped me build confidence to face the challenges. Last but not least, my best friend phoned me to arrange a winter holiday trip together.
All these beautiful moments make me feel delighted to move for the day ahead.
作文（二）
47．A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. He could feel nothing but his hands shaking and heart pounding. “You’ll be great, Peter,” Isabel encouraged him. Just then, Peter heard his name being announced. It was time to present! Peter took a deep breath and then went on the stage. “Tubman Park needs a new kind of trash can,” Peter explained, pointing to a poster of a trash can. Then Peter explained the working principle of the trash can in detail. The judges nodded as they listened, seeming interested in the project.
After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Go Green had agreed to buy the new trash cans for the park! Hearing the inspiring news, they both leaped into the air with joy. Peter hardly had time to enjoy the moment before Isabel started sharing the news with Mrs. Evans and showing their gratitude to her. Learning of the result, Mrs. Evans smiled through watery eyes. “I know you can do it! Tubman Park is sure to become one that is clean and green again!” Never before had Peter and Isabel been so proud of themselves.
