12.Estefanía Rebellón was nce a migrant(流动的) child. She was 10 when her family fled Cali, Clmbia, because f death threats t her father, wh
had been frced int hiding. They settled in Miami. Despite the challenges she faced as a migrant child, she was lucky t have teachers wh advcated

fr her and guided her alng the way.
Rebellón mved frm Miami t Ls Angeles when she was 21 t pursue an acting career. In 2018, she was s mved after vlunteering in migrant
camps in Tijuana that she put her career n hld. “There were n schls set up t help these kids. They were walking arund the camps bareft,” she
said.
Rebellón and her partner Kyle Schmidt used abut ＄1,000 f their savings t buy tents and supplies and set up a makeshift(临时的) schl at the
brder. They enlisted vlunteer teachers t prvide learning pprtunities in the camps. In the mnths that fllwed, when thse families living in the
camps were mved t shelters, Rebellón and Schmidt wanted t cntinue ffering educatinal services.
“I thught, ‘Why dn’t we turn a bus int a mbile classrm, and we culd take it t all the different shelters?’” Rebellón said. Over the next
year, Rebellón and Schmidt bught and transfrmed a bus, partnered with shelters, and drve the bus ver the brder.
In 2019, she c-funded the Yes We Can Wrld Fundatin, a nnprfit rganizatin that believes every child has the right t educatin and safe
spaces regardless f their lcatin, current legal status r ecnmic backgrund.
Rebellón’s rganizatin hires prfessinal teachers and tailrs their curriculum(课程) t the specific needs f each student. “The prgram has been
fficially apprved by the educatin secretary in Mexic and serves children aged 3 t 15—a crucial perid fr educatin,” Rebellón said.
Tday, the Yes We Can Wrld Fundatin educates 250—300 kids a day thrugh its fur schl lcatins alng the brder and three mbile schl
buses. “Since 2019, the grup has served mre than 3,100 migrant children frm 10 cuntries,” Rebellón said.

13.Packaging can play a greater rle in keeping prduce and ther fds fresh, therefre minimizing fd waste — especially if cnsumers can
better understand thse packaging technlgies. That’s amng the takeaways f research led by Michigan State University (MSU)’s Schl f
Packaging, detailed in a recently released white paper.
In the United States, fd waste in landfills dubled frm 1990 t 2020, accrding t data shared by the US Envirnmental Prtectin Agency this
year. Researchers cited data shwing 40% f the fd supply is wasted each year, with 43% f that happening at the cnsumer r husehld level.
Ameripen, the nly rganizatin exclusively fcused n US public plicy fr the entire packaging industry, and the Envirnmental Research &
Educatin Fundatin funded research that included a survey f mre than 1,000 peple in the United States. Ameripen said it wanted t knw what rle
packaging culd play in reducing husehld fd waste as well as understand cnsumer awareness f fd packaging’s value and functins.
The survey asked cnsumers abut their understanding f packaging frms and willingness t pay mre fr packaging designed t reduce fd
waste, amng ther areas.
The study fund that whle fruits and vegetables, particularly bananas and lettuce, are the fds mst wasted by husehlds, with dairy prducts,
prepared packaged fds and leftvers als cmmn culprits (罪魁祸首). “Half-eaten packaged fd prducts and fd withut packaging that went
bad befre it was eaten are the tw primary reasns fr fd waste in American husehlds, indicating there is pprtunity fr imprved packaging
design t help cnsumers with extending shelf life, reuse and size,” the white paper states.

Researchers reprted that while cnsumers’ current understanding f packaging technlgies was “limited”, they indicated “they wuld pay
mre fr fd cntained in packaging that extends freshness and shelf life.”
“There’s a need t design packaging fr prduce that is currently nt packaged; that mst f the prduce in this study was wasted is because
there is n packaging at all,” MSU’s Krey Fennel said during the webinar (网络研讨会), als nting the imprtance f “intelligent packaging” that
culd indicate the shelf life f fd prducts.
【小题1】What des the underlined wrd “minimizing” in the first paragraph mean?

A．Summarize the previus paragraph.
B．Prvide sme advice fr the readers.
D．Intrduce a new tpic fr discussin.
C．Add sme backgrund infrmatin.
【小题3】Hw did the researchers cnduct their study?
A．By making bservatins.
B．By asking questins.
C．By carrying ut experiments.
D．By referring t frmer studies.
【小题4】What is the cnsumers’ attitude t purchasing packaged fd accrding t the study?

14.Nt unlike the wings f airplanes, the blades(叶片) f wind turbines(涡轮机) need t be kept ice-free in rder t functin prperly. Scientists have
nw develped an inexpensive methd f using drnes(无人机) t apply an ec-friendly anti-icing cating(涂层) t thse blades.
If t much ice builds up n wind turbine blades, they will turn mre slwly, prducing less energy. What’s mre, if an equal amunt f ice isn’t
present n all three blades, the turbine’s balance may be thrwn ff, leading t increased wear and pssibly even disastrus failure.
There are anti-icing heating systems that can be built int the blades, but these may be beynd the financial means f many wind farm(风电场)
peratrs. The same can be said fr using helicpters t apply ice-preventin chemicals.
Seeking a mre ecnmical but still effective alternative, scientists frm tw branches f Germany’s Fraunhfer research grup recently started
lking t drnes. The research prject is knwn as “TURBO: Temprary cating by means f drnes—Icing prtectin f wind turbines as a case
study”.
In the current versin f the resulting system, a hexacpter drne is equipped with a small pump that delivers anti-icing liquid. The liquid is
sprayed(喷洒) at high pressure—which is just 0. 3 mm wide—prducing tiny drplets with a diameter f 100 micrmeters.
Using this setup, the drne has successfully been used t apply catings f the drplets nt the edges f wind turbine blades, even at wind speeds
f up t 35 km/h(22 mph). Once slidified(固化/凝固), thse catings prevent ice frmatin fr several weeks befre a fresh cating is applied.
The scientists are nw seeking industry partners t help cmmercialize9(商业化) the TURBO technlgy. It culd als find use in the maintenance(维
护) f pwer lines, the upper levels f tall buildings, r ther things that are difficult t reach by cnventinal means.
【小题1】What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．Prblems caused by icing.
B．The prcess f ice frmatin.
D．The functin f wind turbines.
C．Disasters brught abut by drnes.
【小题2】Which wrd can best describe anti-icing heating systems?
A．Ineffective.
B．Unnecessary.
C．Expensive.
D．Dangerus.
【小题3】What can we learn abut the TURBO technlgy frm the last paragraph?
A．It has a wider range f applicatins.
B．It is a relatively traditinal apprach.
C．It can slve the prblem nce and fr all(一劳永逸).
D．It is mre cstly than using ice-preventin chemicals.
【小题4】What is the best title fr the text?
A．The Advantages f Using Wind Energy
B．Drnes Prtect Wind Turbines Frm Icing
C．Wind Turbines Remve Ice n Their Own
D．A Majr Breakthrugh in Drne Technlgy

My friend invited me t a trapeze (高空秋千) class. I was dubtful because f a lack f curage and a shrt f self-cnfidence, but her enthusiasm and
assurances f strict safety rules wn me ver.
I had been fearful f heights since elementary schl and aviding my fear f heights became secnd nature. But here I was, at age twenty-six,
facing my fear f heights in a rather extreme way. I had cme arund t the idea f trying trapeze. I figured it wasn’t much different frm swinging (舞
动) n the mnkey bars as a kid. One difficulty I didn’t expect was the ladder (梯子). In rder t reach the trapeze, I had t climb up a twenty-tw-ft
ladder.
I culd hear ne f my classmates expressing her impatience with my slw climb up the ladder. “If she’s afraid f heights, why did she sign up fr
a trapeze class?” Hwever, my friend was at the tp f the ladder, trying t encurage me. Besides, his distractin techniques helped t take my mind
ff my dangerus task. I fund a rhythm(节奏) and kept ging. With a slw and steady pace, I made it t the tp. The cheers frm my classmates rang
ut belw.
An instructr tld me t step t the edge f the platfrm. He reminded me f the safety rules, including the net belw that wuld catch me at the
bttm. He als asked me t listen t the directins while in the air, s I culd perfrm a trick.
As the instructr cunted dwn, I tk a deep breath and pushed ff the platfrm, swinging back and frth. At that mment, I lst awareness f time
and space. Frtunately, the instructr’s vice came ver the ludspeaker, giving me step-by-step instructins fr perfrming a trick. Instead f
dubting my inability t perfrm the trick, I tk his directins ne step at a time.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
During my flight n the trapeze, my fear didn’t cmpletely leave me.
