Fr mst peple, graduatin is an exciting day the celebratin f years f hard wrk. My graduatin day... was nt.
I remember that weekend tw years ag. Family and friends had flwn in frm acrss the cuntry t watch ur class walk acrss that stage. But like everyne else in my graduating class, I had watched the ecnmy turn frm bad t wrse. What I thught wuld take a week dragged int tw. and then fur, and 100 jb applicatins later, I fund myself in the exact same spt as 1 was befre. And the due date t begin paying back my student lans was creeping ever clser.
Yu knw that feeling when yu wake up and yu are just cnsumed with fear? Fear abut smething yu can't cntrl—that sense f appraching failure that remains ver yu as yu hpe that everything that happened t yu thus far was just a bad dream? That feeling became a cnstant in my life. And the mst frustrating part was n matter hw much 1 tried, 1 just culdn't seem t make any prgress.
S what did I d t maintain my sanity（理智）？ I wrte. Smething abut putting wrds n a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter. Smething abut writing gave me hpe. And if yu want smething badly enugh... smetimes a little hpe is all yu need! S I channeled my frustratin int a children's bk. And then ne day, withut any srt f writing degree r cntacts in the writing wrld — just a ll f hard wrk and perseverance—I was ffered a publishing cntract fr my first bk! After that, things slwly began t fall int place. 1 was ffered a secnd bk deal. Then, a few mnths later, I gt an interview with The Walt Disney Cmpany and was hired shrtly after.
The mral f this stry is... dn't give up. Even if things lk bleak nw, dn't give up. Things change If yu wrk hard, give it time, and dn't give up, things will always get better Oftentimes all we need is the curage t push beynd the river.

Walking ver water might sund unbelievable. In fact, peple d it all the time. Hw? Almst all f the wrld’s liquid fresh water that is called grundwater lies undergrund.
Earth is a water planet, but mst f its water is in the ceans. Only abut 2.5 percent f the planet’s water is fresh water, f which nearly 69 percent is frzen in glaciers (冰川) and ice caps and abut 30 percent is grundwater-much mre than the 1.2 percent that flws thrugh rivers and fills lakes.
Grundwater is fund almst everywhere n Earth. It hides under muntains, plains and even deserts. Tiny gaps between rcks and sil grains take in and hld this water like a spnge (海绵), frming buried bdies f water called aquifers (地下蓄水层). Tgether, they hld abut 60 times as much water as the wrld’s lakes and rivers cmbined. Grundwater is a key part f the earth’s water cycle. Rain and melted snw g dwn int the grund. The water can stay there fr thusands f years. Sme grundwater naturally runs ut nt the earth’s surface thrugh springs. It als flws int lakes, rivers and wetlands. Peple get grundwater thrugh wells fr drinking, watering crps and ther uses.
As human-caused climate change dries ut parts f the planet, demand fr grundwater may rise. At the same time, climate change may increase strms. Heavier rain is mre likely t rush straight int streams and strm drains, instead f ging int the sil. S, there may be less grundwater arund.
Many f the wrld’s aquifers already seem t be drying up. Twenty-ne f the earth’s 37 biggest aquifers are becming smaller, satellite data shw. The mst dried-ut aquifers are near big cities, farms, r dry regins. As grundwater stres dwindle, they hld less water t refill rivers and streams, thus threatening freshwater ecsystems.
8. What can we knw abut grundwater frm Paragraph 3?
A. It will end up in rivers and seas.B. It’s mainly stred in wet regins.
C. It’s mainly kept in the frm f aquifers.D. It runs ut nt the earth’s surface regularly.
9. Why des climate change result in less grundwater accrding t the text?
A. It makes heavier rain g int the sil.
B. It raises the temperature and increases daytime.
C. It causes glaciers t disappear faster than ever.
D. It allws less rain t g undergrund directly.
10. What des the underlined wrd “dwindle” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Decrease.B. Change.C. Develp.D. Frm.
11. What is the best title f the passage?
A. The threat frm climate changeB. The water cycle in the wrld
C. The decrease f grundwaterD. Water crisis n the planet
D
It’s unlikely that we’ll see a dd, a flightless bird, walking this earth anytime again, accrding t Beth Shapir, a evlutinary mlecular bilgist.
“When mst peple think abut de-extinctin, they’re imagining clning,” Shapir said. Clning, the apprach that created Dlly, the sheep in 1996 and Elizabeth Ann, the black-fted ferret in 2020, creates an identical genetic cpy f an individual by putting DNA frm a living adult cell int an egg cell frm which the nucleus (细胞核) has been remved. Adult cells cntain all the DNA needed t develp int a living animal. Egg cells then use that DNA as a blueprint t turn themselves int many kinds f cells——skin, rgans, bld and bnes——the animal needs.
“But n living cells frm dds exist. Instead,” Shapir said, “yu’d have t start with a clsely related animal’s genme (基因组) and then change it int ne similar t dds.” Fr example， mammths (猛犸) are als extinct，but they were very clsely related t mdern Asian elephants, s researchers are attempting t bring mammths back frm extinctin by creating a hybrid mammth with sme mammth genes replacing part f the elephant genme in an elephant egg cell. Hwever, there are likely millins f genetic differences between the genme f an Asian elephant and that f a mammth accrding t Shapir.
As fr the dd, its clsest living relative is the Nicbar pigen. Mammths and Asian elephants are pretty clsely related, whereas it had been mre than 20 millin years since the dd and the Nicbar pigen had any cmmn ancestrs. Genetic differences between the tw bird species are therefre much greater, making it a frmidable task t create a successful hybrid in the lab, Shapir said.
Even if scientists manage t bring dds back, the island where they nce lived is a very different place nwadays, which make it impssible t reintrduce dds withut majr interventin.
12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The special rle f DNA.
B. The prcess f clning.
C The develpment f clning.
D. The cmplexity f clning.
13. What des Shapir want t shw by the example f mammths?
A. Dds are harder t bring back t life.
B. Their living cells are hard t preserve.
C. Clning can be used t recreate extinct animals.
D. They share a similar genme with Asian elephants.
14. What des the underlined wrd “frmidable” mean in Paragraph 4?
A Urgent.
B. Pssible.
C. Tugh.
D. Different.
15. What is Shapir’s attitude twards the rebirth f dds?
A. Favrable.
B. Intlerant.
C Objective.
D. Negative.

Many amusics are happy when their cnditin is finally diagnsed (诊断). Fr years, Margaret felt embarrassed abut her prblem with music. ____20____ There is a name fr her cnditin. That makes it easier fr her t explain. “When peple invite me t a cncert, I just say, ‘N thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned t say that when I was seventeen and nt seventy.”

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。
Lungs nearly bursting, I struggled t lift my head ut f the water. Inch by inch, my tired bdy reached fr the end f the pl.
The extent f my swimming career was purely recreatinal, while the cmpetitive swimmers nearby thught nthing f the seemingly simple task f a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself t finish what I had started, I culd nly think: why nt take the easy way ut?
Earlier that week, I had turned in my first jb applicatin at a lcal pl. Overqualified, I was hired n the spt. Hwever, the tasks were bring: helping cnfused visitrs and measuring the height f children befre they went dwn the slide, thse srts f things. I was capable f mre.
S a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was nt cmpletely helpless in a pl. Midway thrugh, the manager administering the test remarked, “This lks really easy fr yu. Why aren't yu applying t becme a guard?"
“The thught hadn't crssed my mind."
“Well, lifeguarding demands mre respnsibility, strength and respect. Thus the psitin pays $2 mre per hur. Yur swimming skills are strng enugh. All yu need t d is cmplete a certificatin class.”
Inside I was unsure f myself, but his wrds inspired me-Yu never knw what yu are capable f until yu frce yurself t d it.
Sn I passed the swim test. All left was t practice and learn first aid, CPR(心肺复苏), and prcedures fr different land and water-based emergencies.
Wrk started sn. A well- intentined yet anxius feeling in me sn passed. Days, weeks, and mnths went by withut incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had s carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.
Tday appeared t be anther uneventful day. Hwever, shrtly after the ther guards signaled t the children t exit the pl, I nticed ne by was still in the middle while the thers had climbed up.

“Smething must have gne wrng with him,” I thught t myself.

Having the by n the flr, I put my ear t his muth and my fingers at his neck.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________$35 - Private, nn-cmmercial vehicle;
$30 - Mtrcycle r snwmbile (winter)
$20 - Visitrs 16 and lder entering by ft, bike, ski, etc.
* This fee prvides the visitr with a 7-day entrance permit fr bth Yellwstne and Grand Tetn Natinal Parks.
Yur decisin may depend n hw much time yu have and what yu want t see the mst. If yu plan n visiting Yellwstne Natinal Park fr nly a few days and want t experience sme f the main attractins then West Yellwstne wuld be a gd base. Frm there, it is a shrt drive t the geyser basins, Old Faithful and the Grand Canyn. If yu want t have the full park experience then perhaps ldging at Old Faithful wuld be a gd chice. If yu want t view the mst wildlife, then we suggest the Nrtheast Entrance. The Suth Entrance is a great ptin if yu have mre time and want t visit Grand Tetn Natinal Park; hwever it is a lnger drive t the heart f Yellwstne if yu base ut f Jacksn. The Nrth Entrance is park headquarters and has the mst histric infrmatin n the park.
This depends n what yur interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, raring waterfalls and wild weather. Summer has it all including the mst crwds, s yu’d better get ut early and eat yur breakfast n the rad! Fall is a special time f year. Everything seems t be diminishing including the crwds. Winter is a time f being a bit f scial islatin. In years past it was mre “ecnmical” t visit mst f the park. Nw it is mre restricted unless yu can affrd a snw-cach r guided snwmbile tur.
Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitr Center and at sme park ldges fr registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with receptin nly available in r near majr develped areas. In summer, service is ften maxed ut in these areas.
Yet, it is sad t see the latest generatin fade away frm nrmal everyday activities and cnversatin. Get ut, lk arund, admire the wnders. There’re plenty f natural and human distractins arund every crner. The last thing we want t d is divert visitrs frm Yellwstne’s wnders especially while driving.
