B
Bailey Martin's running route starts on the gray gravel (砂砾) of her family's driveway. She'll run around the seven large bins and a garage on their farm. One full lap around is perfect for a runner like Martin. It's exactly 400 meters.
"If you can balance running at full speed on gravel, you can do that on the track too. I've definitely fallen a few,timcs taking these corners a bit too sharp," Martin said. It's a small price to pay for Martin, who enjoys the familiarity of the route. Every little thing helps when you' re blind.
At age 12, Martin was discovered to have acute macular neuroretinopathy, a rare disease without a known cure. About six months later, it cost Martin her vision. She was blind.
Martin didn't want to give up sports － she didn't want to lose the most important part of her life. Her mother said, "She hit lots of trees. She hit every ditch (沟渠). It didn't stop her. If she wants to do it, she'll figure it out."
Martin's story reached officials at OrCam, a technology company. The company developed a product called MyEye, which was created to help the visually impaired (受损的). The product sits on a user's glasses and with a camera, takes pictures of text, faces or other things. It then reads back what it sees to the user through a small microphone near the ear.
An OrCam official wanted to try it out on some users. The company was looking for visually impaired people with athletic backgrounds. Martin was suggested. OrCam told her to make a tape telling her story. The tape inspired company officials.
Martin is driven to keep going and keep competing. The fact that she's overcome as much as she has even surprises and inspires herself.
"I look at my past self as more of an inspiration," Martin said. "Sometimes, I look back and appreciate how I got through and became the person that I am."
24. Why does Bailey Martin run on her family's driveway?
A. Her familiarity with it helps her practice running. B. Its sharp corners help her work out.

25. What do we know about MyEye?
A. It helps the blind to live independently. B. It is mainly for athletes with eye problems.

27. What is the purpose of the text?

On 21 October, 2021, fans celebrated the 80th anniversary (周年纪念) of Wonder Woman's first appearance in a comic book. Wonder Woman' s publisher, DC Comics, said, "She is far more than just a warrior (战士). She's an ambassador for peace who champions love and compassion (同情心)"
Wonder Woman first appeared in All Star Comics Issue 8 in 1941. The character was created by William Moulton Marston and drawn by Harry G. Peter. Wonder Woman's powers include superhuman strength, reactions and speed. She can fly, has super senses and does not age.
In 1975, Wonder Woman got her own TV series starring Lynda Carter, which was hugely popular. In 2017, the first Wonder Woman film was released. It was the first superhero film to be directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins, and in 2020 Jenkins went on to make the sequel (续集), Wonder Woman 1984. When accepting an award, Jenkins said, "Lynda Carter is the woman who, when I was a child, came to life and showed me a woman who is everything. So incredible and strong but also sweet and thoughtful. That's what inspired me to make my movie."
Wonder Woman's story has changed many times over the years. One version says that her real name is Diana and she is a princess from an island. One day a pilot crashed his plane on her island and a competition was held to see who would take him back to the "Man's World". Diana won and took the pilot back to the US, where she took on the identity of Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman was not the very first female superhero but she is one of the most famous. She has been a constant in comics for 80 years. To appreciate what she has taught us, DC Comics has decided to highlight 23 inspiring women who are trying to make the world a better place in a new book. DC Comics says, Wonder Woman reminds us that there are no restrictions on what we're capable of － no limits to what we can achieve and no compromise (妥协) on justice and equality for all.
28. What do Jenkins' words in paragraph 3 want to tell us?
A. Actors should learn from Carter. B. Carter's movie was a real success.
C. She had a long-term friendship with Carter. D. Carter's performance greatly influenced her.
29. What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph?
A. The origin of Wonder Woman. B. Characteristics of Wonder Woman.
C. Changes to Wonder Woman's story. D. The reason for Wonder Woman's popularity.
30. Why has DC Comics decided to produce a new book about women?
A. To attract more female readers to its comics.
B.To show the difficulty of women's achievements.
C. To sing the praises of Wonder Woman's powerful influence.
D. To introduce other female superheroes in Wonder Woman comics.
31. What does Wonder Woman's story show us according to DC Comics?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Nothing is impossible.
C. Ups and downs make one story. D. Good advice is beyond all price.
D
Isaac Asimov's Foundation arrives on Apple TV+ nearly 80 years after the story's first publication. It's the first big adaptation of the famous science fiction novels － but it is going beyond just the events of that original 1951 novel to integrate elements from across Asimov's vast universe, including the subject that he's most famous for: robots.
Over the course of his career, Asimov is probably best known for both Foundation, and his robot stories and novels. In his introduction to his 1990 collection of robot stories, Robot Visions, Asimov explained that he wanted to flip the script on the types of robots that he'd grown up reading about in magazines. "I determined to write a robot story about a robot that was wisely used, that was not dangerous, and that did the job it was supposed to do." His first story was Robbie, published in 1940.
Asimov collected the various short stories that made up the Foundation and Robot worlds into two novels. I. Robot brought together nine of those original robot stories and came out in 1950, while the Foundation stories were released in three volumes called Foundation, Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation. But he kept the two series separate, noting in his memoir (回忆录), "If I got tired of one of them (or if the readers did), I could continue with the other with a minimum of troubling overlap (重叠)."
Midway through the 1960s, Asimov ended up taking a bit of a break from writing science fiction novels, but was eventually enticed (怂恿) back in the early 1980s by his publisher, Doubleday. "Isaac, we want you to write a novel for us," editor Betty Prashker told him. A follow-up call from Doubleday clarified: "When Betty said 'a novel' , we meant `a science fiction novel'; and when we say `a science fiction novel' , we mean 'a Foundation novel.' " Dutifully, Asimov began to think up a continuation of the story, which would eventually become Foundation's Edge, the fourth volume of the series. When it hit bookstore shelves in 1982, it was an immediate bestseller.
32. What will Apple TV+ do according to the text?
A. Use robots to rewrite the Foundation series. B. Broadcast the adaptation of Foundation.
C. Sell the Foundation series through live-stream. D. Analyze elements in Foundation for the audience.
33. What does the underlined part "flip the script" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Assess the evidence. B. Consider the impact.
C. Write something clearly. D. Change something dramatically.
34. What can we learn about 1. Robot and the Foundation series?
A. Their stories seldom overlap. B. They both have three volumes.
C. They are short story collections. D. Their stories are hard to continue.
35. What made Isaac return to the Foundation series?
A. The request of his publisher. B. His urge to write science fiction.
C. His boredom with an aimless life. D. The success of the previous volumes.

Music has always been an essential part of my family. As a little girl, I often watched my mom singing with others. As I grew older, she and I would sing while we did the dishes or hung clothes. My brother Dean was also a musical soul. In good time or in bad, there was always music in our house. It shaped us, comforted us, and gave us a way to express feelings that might otherwise have gone unspoken.
After Dean became a father, we learned that his oldest son was on the autism spectrum. My nephew Carl did not handle social situations well, and sometimes even to speak aloud outside the family for him was a struggle. He worked very hard to overcome his fears, so much so that the year he was eight, he decided he wanted to be part of a music program with the other children in his Sunday school class. The part he had been offered was one that required him to sing a verse all on his own—a solo.
My brother carefully explained to him that this would mean singing in front of the audience. There would be no one singing with him. Carl considered this very carefully.After a couple of days, he decided that he would accept the part. He explained to us that he believed he could do it because it was a very special occasion. He said he knew his daddy would help him to be the best singer.
For over a month, he and his father practiced together. Every evening would find them locked away in the music room. My brother played the guitar, and my nephew's small voice came from somewhere deep down inside his little body. He gained confidence, and when the day of the concert arrived, he was certain all would go well. My brother waited backstage, giving Carl double thumbs-up, and he came out to sit with the rest of the family to watch and take photos.

Paragraph 1: When it was finally time for Carl to sing, the music played on, and he froze.

Paragraph 2: Everyone turned to see who was singing, while I knew it was my brother.

Many people fail to achieve ideal results even though they have strong interest in what they learn. The fact is that it can be quite demanding to have a better outcome without better learning habits.
Let’s take the class for example. As is known to all, it’s of vital importance to remain focused in class whether it is interesting or not. Some students, however, are always daydreaming, yawning or attracted by something else, thus contributing to the later time-consuming homework.
Forming better learning habit requires time, energy, determination and self-discipline. As for me, making a plan for your study is beneficial, and the plan should be updated according to the progress of your study from time to time. Secondly, you are expected to make full use of the time in the class and don’t do anything irrelevant to the class.
Maybe it’s easier said than done, but please never give up and keep practicing. Only in this way can better results be brought about.

When it was finally time for Dj to sing, the music played on, and he froze. Facing such a large group of audience was a first in his whole life. Lowering his head, he stood in the middle of the stage, not knowing what to do. The pianist started the music again but still nothing came out. The entire audience stared at the little boy and whispered, hoping he would cheer up and act out his part, which made the situation worse. Then the pianist started over again. Then came a beautiful melody from the dead silence, low but clear and powerful.
Everyone turned to see who was singing, while I knew it was my brother. Surprised at the unexpected melody, Dj lifted his head slowly and when he encountered his father’s eyes, his eyes began to sparkle as well. After a while, he opened his mouth and began to sing along. With time going by, the little voice from somewhere deep down inside this little boy grew stronger and stronger, echoing and lingering in the hall. All people were immersed in the beautiful melody. When the show was over, thunderous applause exploded. Everyone cheered for this little boy’s brilliant performance and his efforts to overcome his fears.
