I was cutting up lettuce in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a vide abut saking the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water t grw a whle new vegetable. S I tk ut a wide-muthed mug(大杯) and placed the stub int it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the windw.
On a snwy mrning, I nticed the first sign. A first small leaf frm its heart spread ut. A tiny green flag f hpe. Beaten, but nt defeated. This lettuce was nt dne living! Within days, it was impssible t see the cuts where I had remved the leaves. The grwth was explsive. And when I lifted the blssming head ut f the mug, tiny rt threads fell dwn, seeking fr the earth. What is grwing here? Lettuce r hpe?
If I were a lettuce in a similar cnditin, I’d want t skeptically assess where I fund myself befre cmmitting t full grwth. Yet fr this lettuce, my inadequate ffering f water and a place by a windw was enugh fr it t decide t reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug f water, in faith. This is the heart f this lettuce: alive, strng and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided t call it Mnty.
Mnty wanted t grw, as we all d. I think I gave him a little lve and freedm. Thse tw ingredients were all he needed t return t himself. I see jy in this lettuce. The return t self is always an expressin f jy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency f all living things.
Mnty still lives in a mug, but I’m ging t transplant him utside. He deserves t becme his full self. The nly prblem I see nw is my capacity t supprt Mnty. I hpe I have enugh f a green finger.
I’m surprised t find myself where I am. Maybe Mnty is, t. I have the same chice as he des: give in and decay (腐败), r start again. The prspect f starting again is discuraging. But my lettuce-friend, Mnty, leads the way. I can nly hpe t be as brave.
4. Why did the authr sak the stub in water?
A. T decrate the nice mug.B. T hpe that it wuld grw.
C. T make a vide in persn.D. T remve his bad md.
5. What can we infer frm paragraph tw?
A. This lettuce shwed n sign f recvery.
B. This lettuce was still fighting t survive.
C. Within days, I culd see tiny rt thread fell dwn.
D. I culd still see several cuts where there used t be leaves.
6. Hw wuld the authr feel if put in the lettuce’s situatin?
A. Hesitant.B. Fearless.C. Aimless.D. Annyed.
7. What can we learn frm Mnty?
A. Never being afraid t restart yurself.B. Believing in yurself when in truble.
C. Enjying yur wn life t the fullest.D. Giving freedm t the heart in a way.
C
In habitats acrss the planet, animals peridically drp everything t walk, fly r swim t a new place. Sme animals such as whales and geese learn migratin paths by fllwing their parents. Others, including small sngbirds, gain the distance and directin f their migratin within their genetic cde. And sme animals use a cmbinatin f genetics and culture t guide their migratin.
Anther grup f migratrs des nt quite fit either mdel, and researchers have nly recently started t figure ut hw they find their way. The Cry’s shearwater is an ceanging seabird that migrates ver the Atlantic every year. The yung d nt migrate with their parents, s culture cannt explain their jurneys. And the exact paths vary wildly frm individual t individual, making genetics equally unlikely.
Cry’s shearwaters are lng-lived, rarely prducing yung successfully befre age nine. This leaves an pening fr learning and practice t develp their migratin patterns. Researchers call this the “explratin-refinement”, and until nw it has been hypthetical (假设的) because f difficulties in tracking migratry animals’ mvements.
But a team f researchers has dne that by attaching small gelcatrs t mre than 150 f the birds aged fur t nine. They fund that yunger birds traveled lnger distances, fr lnger perids, and had mre diverse paths than lder birds. “We finally have evidence f the ‘explratin-refinement’ fr migratry birds,” says Letizia Campini, wh led the study. Yunger Cry’s shearwaters are able t fly just as fast as the adults——but they d nt, suggesting that the yung d mre explring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle int a preferred curse.
“Althugh it may seem less efficient than ther strategies, explratin refinement culd be beneficial t birds and ther rganisms in a rapidly changing wrld due t unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer t repeat a behavir that was recently successful than t rely n patterns that were perfected lng ag but might n lnger be safe.”
8. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. It describes animals’ habitats.B. It cmpares different species.
C. It talks abut migratin mdels.D. It intrduces a tracking technlgy.
9. What des the underlined wrd “this” in Paragraph 3 refer t?
A. The pening fr learning and practice.
B. The unique living habit f Cry’s shearwaters.
C. The prcess scientists track Cry’s shearwaters’ mvements.
D. The way Cry’s shearwaters frm their migratin patterns.
10. What des Letizia’s study find abut the yunger Cry’s shearwaters?
A. They travel as much as adult birds.B. They lwer the speed fr explratin.
C. They mve in a predictable manner.D. They lk fr a curse with their parents.
11. What can we cnclude frm the last paragraph?
AExplratin refinement cntributes t birds’ adaptability.
B. Man-made changes make migratin easier.
C. Animals make a safer jurney via a fixed track.
D. A cmbinatin f strategies assures migratin success
D
Digital reading appears t be destrying habits f “deep reading”. Astnishing numbers f peple with years f schling are in effect illiterate. This mnth’s Ljubljana Manifest (宣言) explains: “The digital field may prmte mre reading than ever in histry, but it als ffers many temptatins t read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — r even nt t read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential t civilizatin. It enabled the enlightenment and an internatinal increase in empathy. Withut it, we wuld suffer a lt. As the Ljubljana Manifest ntes, “as much as ne-third f Eurpeans struggle even with lwer-level reading skills.” Mre than ne-fifth f adults in the US “fall int the illiterate/functinally illiterate categry”. Separately, pst-pandemic reading scres fr American 13-year-lds are the lwest in decades. And the Washingtn-based Center fr Glbal Develpment recently estimated that literacy in Suth Asia and sub-Saharan Africa amng thse with five years f schling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifest recrd the demerits f digital reading: “Recent studies f varius kinds indicate a decline f critical and cnscius reading, slw reading, nn-strategic reading and lng-frm reading.” When yu read a bk n paper, yu can be entirely inside the experience, absrb hundreds f pages f details thrughly and begin t capture the wrld’s cmplexity. Online, says Maryanne Wlf f UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrlling”. The medium is the message: ding deep reading n yur phne is as hard as playing tennis with yur phne. Recently, a bright 11-year-ld tld me I was wasting time n bks: he absrbed mre infrmatin faster frm Wikipedia. He had a pint. But digital readers als absrb mre misinfrmatin and seldm absrb fine perspectives.
In shrt, as prfessrs frm Nrthwestern University fresaw in 2005, we are returning t the days when nly an elite (精英) “reading class” cnsumes lng texts, which is wrrying.
12. What can we learn abut digital reading frm paragraph 1?
A. Digital reading has slved the prblem f illiteracy.
B. Digital reading has lessened the practice f deep reading.
C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible t wider readers.
D. Digital reading has arused a greater appreciatin fr deep reading.
13. What is the purpse f the figures used in paragraph 2?
A. T display the ppularity f digital reading.
B. T highlight the advantages f deep reading.
C. T present the unfavrable situatin f literacy.
D. T stress the illiterate’s lwer-level reading skills.
14. What des the underlined wrd “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Effects.B. Depths.C. Features.D. Drawbacks.
15. What might be talked abut in the fllwing paragraph?
A. Advantages f digital reading.B. Benefits f higher-level reading.
C. Ways t encurage digital reading.D. Measures t practice deep reading.

I was cutting up lettuce in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a vide abut saking the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water t grw a whle new vegetable. S I tk ut a wide-muthed mug(大杯) and placed the stub int it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the windw.
On a snwy mrning, I nticed the first sign. A first small leaf frm its heart spread ut. A tiny green flag f hpe. Beaten, but nt defeated. This lettuce was nt dne living! Within days, it was impssible t see the cuts where I had remved the leaves. The grwth was explsive. And when I lifted the blssming head ut f the mug, tiny rt threads fell dwn, seeking fr the earth. What is grwing here? Lettuce r hpe?
If I were a lettuce in a similar cnditin, I’d want t skeptically assess where I fund myself befre cmmitting t full grwth. Yet fr this lettuce, my inadequate ffering f water and a place by a windw was enugh fr it t decide t reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug f water, in faith. This is the heart f this lettuce: alive, strng and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided t call it Mnty.
Mnty wanted t grw, as we all d. I think I gave him a little lve and freedm. Thse tw ingredients were all he needed t return t himself. I see jy in this lettuce. The return t self is always an expressin f jy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency f all living things.
Mnty still lives in a mug, but I’m ging t transplant him utside. He deserves t becme his full self. The nly prblem I see nw is my capacity t supprt Mnty. I hpe I have enugh f a green finger.
I’m surprised t find myself where I am. Maybe Mnty is, t. I have the same chice as he des: give in and decay (腐败), r start again. The prspect f starting again is discuraging. But my lettuce-friend, Mnty, leads the way. I can nly hpe t be as brave.
4. Why did the authr sak the stub in water?
A. T decrate the nice mug.B. T hpe that it wuld grw.
C. T make a vide in persn.D. T remve his bad md.
5. What can we infer frm paragraph tw?
A. This lettuce shwed n sign f recvery.
B. This lettuce was still fighting t survive.
C. Within days, I culd see tiny rt thread fell dwn.
D. I culd still see several cuts where there used t be leaves.
6. Hw wuld the authr feel if put in the lettuce’s situatin?
A. Hesitant.B. Fearless.C. Aimless.D. Annyed.
7. What can we learn frm Mnty?
A. Never being afraid t restart yurself.B. Believing in yurself when in truble.
C. Enjying yur wn life t the fullest.D. Giving freedm t the heart in a way.
C
In habitats acrss the planet, animals peridically drp everything t walk, fly r swim t a new place. Sme animals such as whales and geese learn migratin paths by fllwing their parents. Others, including small sngbirds, gain the distance and directin f their migratin within their genetic cde. And sme animals use a cmbinatin f genetics and culture t guide their migratin.
Anther grup f migratrs des nt quite fit either mdel, and researchers have nly recently started t figure ut hw they find their way. The Cry’s shearwater is an ceanging seabird that migrates ver the Atlantic every year. The yung d nt migrate with their parents, s culture cannt explain their jurneys. And the exact paths vary wildly frm individual t individual, making genetics equally unlikely.
Cry’s shearwaters are lng-lived, rarely prducing yung successfully befre age nine. This leaves an pening fr learning and practice t develp their migratin patterns. Researchers call this the “explratin-refinement”, and until nw it has been hypthetical (假设的) because f difficulties in tracking migratry animals’ mvements.
But a team f researchers has dne that by attaching small gelcatrs t mre than 150 f the birds aged fur t nine. They fund that yunger birds traveled lnger distances, fr lnger perids, and had mre diverse paths than lder birds. “We finally have evidence f the ‘explratin-refinement’ fr migratry birds,” says Letizia Campini, wh led the study. Yunger Cry’s shearwaters are able t fly just as fast as the adults——but they d nt, suggesting that the yung d mre explring, which gradually fades as they mature and settle int a preferred curse.
“Althugh it may seem less efficient than ther strategies, explratin refinement culd be beneficial t birds and ther rganisms in a rapidly changing wrld due t unpredictable man-made changes,” says Barbara Frei. “It might be safer t repeat a behavir that was recently successful than t rely n patterns that were perfected lng ag but might n lnger be safe.”
8. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. It describes animals’ habitats.B. It cmpares different species.
C. It talks abut migratin mdels.D. It intrduces a tracking technlgy.
9. What des the underlined wrd “this” in Paragraph 3 refer t?
A. The pening fr learning and practice.
B. The unique living habit f Cry’s shearwaters.
C. The prcess scientists track Cry’s shearwaters’ mvements.
D. The way Cry’s shearwaters frm their migratin patterns.
10. What des Letizia’s study find abut the yunger Cry’s shearwaters?
A. They travel as much as adult birds.B. They lwer the speed fr explratin.
C. They mve in a predictable manner.D. They lk fr a curse with their parents.
11. What can we cnclude frm the last paragraph?
AExplratin refinement cntributes t birds’ adaptability.
B. Man-made changes make migratin easier.
C. Animals make a safer jurney via a fixed track.
D. A cmbinatin f strategies assures migratin success
D
Digital reading appears t be destrying habits f “deep reading”. Astnishing numbers f peple with years f schling are in effect illiterate. This mnth’s Ljubljana Manifest (宣言) explains: “The digital field may prmte mre reading than ever in histry, but it als ffers many temptatins t read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — r even nt t read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential t civilizatin. It enabled the enlightenment and an internatinal increase in empathy. Withut it, we wuld suffer a lt. As the Ljubljana Manifest ntes, “as much as ne-third f Eurpeans struggle even with lwer-level reading skills.” Mre than ne-fifth f adults in the US “fall int the illiterate/functinally illiterate categry”. Separately, pst-pandemic reading scres fr American 13-year-lds are the lwest in decades. And the Washingtn-based Center fr Glbal Develpment recently estimated that literacy in Suth Asia and sub-Saharan Africa amng thse with five years f schling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifest recrd the demerits f digital reading: “Recent studies f varius kinds indicate a decline f critical and cnscius reading, slw reading, nn-strategic reading and lng-frm reading.” When yu read a bk n paper, yu can be entirely inside the experience, absrb hundreds f pages f details thrughly and begin t capture the wrld’s cmplexity. Online, says Maryanne Wlf f UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrlling”. The medium is the message: ding deep reading n yur phne is as hard as playing tennis with yur phne. Recently, a bright 11-year-ld tld me I was wasting time n bks: he absrbed mre infrmatin faster frm Wikipedia. He had a pint. But digital readers als absrb mre misinfrmatin and seldm absrb fine perspectives.
In shrt, as prfessrs frm Nrthwestern University fresaw in 2005, we are returning t the days when nly an elite (精英) “reading class” cnsumes lng texts, which is wrrying.
12. What can we learn abut digital reading frm paragraph 1?
A. Digital reading has slved the prblem f illiteracy.
B. Digital reading has lessened the practice f deep reading.
C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible t wider readers.
D. Digital reading has arused a greater appreciatin fr deep reading.
13. What is the purpse f the figures used in paragraph 2?
A. T display the ppularity f digital reading.
B. T highlight the advantages f deep reading.
C. T present the unfavrable situatin f literacy.
D. T stress the illiterate’s lwer-level reading skills.
14. What des the underlined wrd “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Effects.B. Depths.C. Features.D. Drawbacks.
15. What might be talked abut in the fllwing paragraph?
A. Advantages f digital reading.B. Benefits f higher-level reading.
C. Ways t encurage digital reading.D. Measures t practice deep reading.

While my mm and I were shpping, we ran int my teacher, wh mentined that the schl didn’t have a music teacher t help ur class put tgether a perfrmance fr Winter Fair. And, right then and there, my mm said, “I knw the perfect sng and dance. I’ll teach it t the kids!”
Befre I culd say “Please dn’t”, my mm had agreed t cme t my class every mrning at 9:30 fr a week. Oh, and just t be clear, it’s nt as if she’s a prfessinal entertainer. My parents run a small grcery stre, and the nly singing my mm des is in the shwer.
