I wuld never frget that day. When I wke up n Sep 1, 2020, there was nly ne thing n my mind: what t wear. A billin thughts raced thrugh my brain in the clset. I didn’t want t cme ff as trying t hard, but I als didn’t want t be seen as a slb. Nt nly was it my first day f high schl, but it was my first day f schl in a new state; first impressins are everything, and it was imprtant fr me t impress the peple wh I wuld spend the next three years with.
This was my third time being the new kid. But this time was different because my dad prmised that I wuld start and finish high schl in the same place. This time mattered, and that made me nervus.
After meticulusly searching my clset, I prudly came ut in a dress frm Target. The sft cttn was cmfrtable, and the laced shulders added a hint f fun. Yes, this utfit was the ne. An hur later, I felt pwerful as I headed tward Rm 1136. But as I entered class, my jaw drpped t the flr.
Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz, my English teacher, wearing exactly the same dress as me. I kept my head dwn and tipted t my seat. I made it thrugh my brief intrductin speech until Mrs Hutfilz std up, jkingly adding that she liked my style. Althugh this was the mment I had been afraid f frm the mment I walked in, all my anxiety surprisingly melted away, and the students paid attentin as I shared my stry. My smile grew as I laughed with the students. After class, I stayed behind and talked t Mrs Hutfilz, relieved t make a humrus and real cnnectin.
Lking back three years later, the ten minutes I spent afraid f giving my speech were really nt wrth it. My first perid f high schl certainly made the day unfrgettable in the best way and taught me that Mars Hutfilz has an awesme sense f style!

The turist attractin and trail, which ges thrugh lcal cultural relics, will give visitrs a wnderful glimpse int the incredible histry t Maya’s histry.
Cnsidering that mst turists travel t Mexic, particularly Cancun, with the 5-star htels and perfect beaches, getting them t visit the ther histry-filled areas isn’t always s easy, unless they happen t be histry lvers. But with the newly cnstructed Camin del Mayab, turists can experience the rich Mayan culture, histry, fd, and civilizatin. The trail is a 68-mile jurney that hpes t aid in bettering the lives f the 14 cmmunities f Mayan descendants that live alng the trail. The jurney can take three days t cycle r five days t walk.

Yet, the lcals wrked t keep their ancestral hmes, animals, cities, fds and cultural wrk fr themselves, rather than being verrun by large htel cmpanies. In this way, the Yucatan civilizatin managed t remain strng in the regin.

Recently a new study fund that elephants in central African frests can encurage the grwth f slw-grwing trees and increase the ability f the frest t stre carbn.
“As a tree, there’s a s-called balance that yu can’t have it all,” explained Fabi Berzaghi, wh led the study. Elephants prefer t eat fast-grwing trees in mre pen spaces. As they feed and walk, they cause damage t these species, kncking ver trees r breaking ff branches, which results in an ecsystem that favrs large, slw-grwing hardwd trees. “As the elephants thin the frest, they increase the number f slw-grwing trees and the frest is capable f string mre carbn,” said Stephen Blake, ne f the paper’s authrs.
Scientists cllected field measurements in the Cng Basin and used a cmputer mdel t predict hw elephants wuld affect frest structure, and carbn strage ptential in the lng term. The data cnfirmed that when elephants are present, the frest cntains larger trees and higher abundances f species with high wd density. On the cntrary, shuld frest elephants g extinct, leaving thse slw-grwing trees struggling t cmpete with fast-grwing species, it wuld result in a 7 percent lss f abve-grund bimass (生物总量). As a result, central African frests culd lse up t three billin tns f carbn, ptentially accelerating climate change.
The sad reality is that humans are ding their best t rid the planet f elephants. lain Duglas Hamiltn, funder f Save the Elephants said, “It is shcking that just as we are beginning t understand hw elephants might have a key rle in Africa in string carbn, they are under real threat f extinctin.” One limitatin f the study, Mr. Berzaghi said, is that we d nt knw hw much carbn has already been lst because f the elephants’ decline. But it des seem certain, he added, that putting a stp t illegal hunting and restring frest elephant ppulatins wuld bring climate benefits.
12．What can we infer abut slw-grwing trees in Paragraph 2?
A. They are elephants’ favrite fd.B. They are easily hurt by elephants.
C. They may reduce elephant ppulatins.D. They can help frests stre carbn.
13．What wuld happen withut elephants living in central African frests?
A. Larger trees wuld defeat fast-grwing species.
B. The frest structure wuld remain unchanged.
C. The frests wuld lse mre fast-grwing trees.
D. Climate change wuld pssibly be sped up.
14．What did Mr. Berzaghi suggest peple d?
A. Lead a lw-carbn life.B. Prtect frest elephants.
C. Stp destrying frests.D. Evaluate the carbn lss.
15．What is the best title fr the text?

(当谈到你的职业生涯时，你感觉如何？你是想停留在现在的位置，还是准备做出改变，采取措施来取得成功？)”两个问题可知，这是全文内容的总结，F项“Reflect, set gals, and make yur decisin, and yu’ll be n the right path in n time. (反思、设定目标、作出决定，你很快就会走上正确的道路)”正是对第二、三、四段中提到的三个步骤的小结。故选F项。
17．答案：B
