My teenager daughter, Lily, is bsessed with the character Eleven frm Netflix’s Stranger Things.
Sandwiched between tw brthers, Lily is rugh at times. Back in my day peple wuld call her a tmby, mre int climbing trees than quietly playing with dlls indrs. Fr a while I feared, even with all the messages abut “girls can d anything” n TV and T-shirts, she was starting t think girls were stupid. Then alng came Stranger Things, with its tngue-tied and bald rebel (叛逆者) wh can destry trains and cars with the pwer f her mind.
Fr the mst part, I’m thrilled that Lily wants t be Eleven, wh is the rare yung herine, equally brilliant and raw, and has perseverance and hpe, with a desire fr human cnnectin and the skill t battle the evil. She is an enrmus step up frm my childhd girl idl (崇拜对象) including all six ladies in Charlie’s Angels and the Lynda Carter versin f Wnder Wman wh are all cmpetitive and smart. But it’s interesting t me that my daughter lit upn a character whse primary emtin is this massive anger and whse main rle in the shw cnsists f learning t channel her anger t defeat a dark frce. Is Lily seeing what she lngs fr r identifies with? If she had such pwers, what wuld she want t d?
Parents everywhere understand there is a mental health crisis amng yung peple. Girls especially are lsing hpe. We just dn’t knw hw r even what t fix. Maybe Eleven can give these girls a blueprint, r faith that they can ne day be in charge again. Maybe she can encurage thse girls t fight back. Smewhere deep dwn, they sense that rage is exactly the right thing t feel. And why waste that passin banging drs and cursing (咒骂) brthers when their anger culd be emplyed t achieve far greater things?
Fr ur daughters, Eleven lays ut a path int the future. Simply being ambitius and resurceful is n lnger enugh. Circumstances are calling fr a new srt f herism, ne with a brain pwerful enugh t make the best f her anger.
24. What can we knw abut Lily frm paragraph 2?

In the 10 years since the bk Nudge: Imprving Decisins Abut Health, Wealth, and Happiness was published, the idea f nudging peple t make better decisins has becme mainstream in everything frm gvernment t public health t persnal habits.
A nudge is a way f skillfully influencing chices withut actually frbidding anything. One f the examples in the bk is the cafeteria that nudged diners int healthy eating habits by placing fruits and ther healthy snacks at eye level, while putting chips and ice cream in harder-t-reach spts. N ne was prevented frm seeking ut their favrite junk fd, but the setup f the fferings encuraged diners t chse apple slices instead.
But even thugh nudges have prven successful in several fields, they’re nt perfect. In fact, nudges dn’t always wrk and can smetimes even backfire.
Here’s why nudges aren’t always the best way t g abut changing yur habits — strng preferences. I’m a crazy reader. I’m at the library as ften as twice a week. Despite this, I carry an average verdue fine balance f clse t $10 at any ne time. Over the years, I’ve tried varius nudges t imprve my n-time return rate. I’ve left bks n the table by the dr, left bks in my car, and I’ve even placed “return library bks” n my wrk t-d list. Nt a single ne f these nudges has wrked. What’s ging n here is that my preexisting preferences are far strnger than my nudges t return the bks.
Strng preferences can als help explain sme phenmenn f the patients. N matter what nudges the medical prfessinal has attempted t use t imprve patient cmpliance (服从), many patients have such a strng preexisting preference t maintain their ld eating and exercise habits that they’ll simply ignre their dctr’s recmmendatins. Even when it cmes t taking medicatin, the preference t nt take it is greater than even sme financial nudges that pay patients t bey. Thugh nudges can help t imprve habits, they will nt vercme strng preferences.
28. Which f the fllwing belngs t a nudge?
A. Custmers’ shpping habits.B. The vlume f backgrund music.
C. A salesman’s strng recmmendatin.D. Fresh fruit placed at the frnt f a stre.
29. What des the authr’s experience illustrate?
A. Bk lving can be a crazy thing.
B. Bad habits are always frmed little by little.
C. Mre imprtance shuld be attached t nudging.
D. The nudging is nt always as effective as we expect.
30. Why d nudges nt wrk well n patients?
A. Old habits are t strng.B. Patients dn’t understand nudges.
C. Dctrs prefer t frce patients t bey.D. Nudges are nt creative and prfessinal.
31. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T intrduce the main idea f a bk.B. T ffer a way f making better chices.
C. T demnstrate the shrtcmings f an idea.D. T present the backgrund f an experience.
D
Farming is mving indrs, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant and where the climate is always right. The perfect crp field culd be inside a windwless building with cntrlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutritin. It culd be a high-rise building in New Yrk r a sprawling cmplex in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer t the wrld’s fd prblems.
The wrld is already having truble feeding itself. Half f the peple n earth live in cities, and nearly half f thse - abut 3 billin - are hungry r ill-fed. Fd prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, flds and the cst f energy required t plant, harvest and transprt it. And prices will nly get mre unstable. Climate change makes lng-term crp planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts f the wrld are already using water available t the last drp. And the wrld is getting mre crwded: by mid-century, the glbal hungry ppulatin will grw t 9 billin.
T feed such a large ppulatin, peple may need t expand farmland at the expense f frests and wilderness, r find ways t cmpletely increase crp utput.
Gertjan Meeuws has taken the cncept f greenhuse - grwing vegetables and huse plants in enclsed and cntrlled envirnments. In their research statin, water flws int the pans when needed, and temperature is kept cnstant. Lights g n and ff, creating similar day and night accrding t the rhythm f the plants.
A building f 100 square meters and 14 layers f plants culd prvide a daily diet f 200 kilgrams f fresh fruit and vegetables fr the entire ppulatin f Den Bsch, abut 140,000 peple. Their idea is nt t grw fds that require much space, like crn, r ptates.
Here sunlight is nt nly unnecessary but can be harmful: Plants need nly specific wavelengths f light t grw. Their grwth rate is three times faster than thse under greenhuse cnditins. They use abut 90 percent less water than utdr agriculture. And city farming means prducing fd near cnsumers, s there’s n need t transprt it lng distances.
32. What des Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. Urbanizatin affects fd prices.B. Glbal fd security is in truble.
C. Farmers make the mst f energy.D. The wrld’s ppulatin is expanding.
33. The underlined wrd “buffeted” in Paragraph 2 means “______”.
A. Badly affectedB. Sharply reduced
C. Steadily raisedD. Well achieved
34. What can be inferred abut Gertjan Meeuws’s farming?
A. Limited but efficient.B. Scientific but ineffective.
C. Prductive and ecnmical.D. Ec-friendly and manageable.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
A. A great revlutin in farming.B. Advantages f indr farming.
C. The develpment f indr farming.D. Sunless and rainless indr farming.

Leave-N-Trace camping is abut being respectful and thughtful. It’s abut hnring the natural wrld and the creatures that live in it. If yu lve seeing an untuched muntain stream r a lvely field f wildflwers, then yu’ve already taken the first step. 40

One sunny afternn, Alice and I were walking hme frm schl, lst in ur girlish cnversatin. Alice, with her curius eyes sparkling, casually asked abut my friendship with Judy. In a mment f thughtlessness, I respnded, “I nly hung ut with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen n being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind wrds just escaped my lips befre I culd catch them, like marbles rlling ff a table.
Little did I knw, Judy had been just arund the crner smehw. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in frnt f me, having accidentally verheard everything. All the clr faded frm her face. Her eyes widening with shck, withut a wrd, she rushed ff. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a lk f shame and discmfrt. I knew I shuld run after Judy and aplgize, but with my mind blank, I was frzen. Alice’s face turned red, t. We walked hme in silence, each step heavier than the last.
The fllwing days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible fr what I’d said and was dying t mend ur friendship. An hnest aplgy was desperately needed. But what shuld I say? Unintentinal as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls r during classes, I’d quickly lk away.
Fate threw me a curve ball in ur speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thmas annunced that we wuld be giving imprvised (即兴的) speeches. He had written ur tpics n slips f paper and put them int a secret jar. Each f us was asked t blindly chse ne withut knwing what it wuld be abut. I culdn’t say I was nt nervus. As I reached int the jar f tpics, my fingers clsed arund the slip that read, “Share yur mst embarrassing mment.” My heart punded like a drum rll in my chest. It was as if the universe had cme my way t give me a chance.

The pleasure f reading
Versin 1
There is n greater pleasure in the wrld than reading, which can transprt us beynd the bundaries f time and space, allwing us t live a thusand lives. The pleasure f reading is a symphny f the mind and a dance f ideas that enriches the sul.
“Charltte’s Web” is such a charming tale as I read lng ag but still tuches my heart s much. I am greatly impressed by Charltte’s wisdm, kindness, and unwavering lyalty t Wilbur. The web she spins, with its miraculus wrds, is a symbl f the pwer f lve and creativity t change lives. I can als recall the many mments I culdn’t resist laughing when the light and playful humr in the bk ticked my funny bne.
Fr me, “Charltte’s Web” demnstrates the best f what literature can ffer: a stry that is bth entertaining and enriching, a jurney that is as delightful as it is meaningful.
Versin 2
The pleasure f reading lies in the expansin f ur hrizns as we explre diverse cultures and encunter different peple. It encurages critical thinking and fsters a deeper understanding f the wrld arund us.
“The Bigraphy f Qian Xuesen”, a witness t the transfrmatin f a talented yung mind int a leading figure in science and technlgy, is a stry f perseverance, curisity, and an unwavering cmmitment t his mtherland.
The jy f reading this bigraphy is a prfund experience that transcends the written wrd, ffering me a deep dive int the life and achievements f a remarkable individual wh played a pivtal rle in shaping China’s aerspace industry. His decisin t return t China despite persnal risks has greatly resnated with me, instilling a sense f wnder and inspiratin.

Versin1
Knwing what I had t say, I calmed myself dwn and walked t the platfrm. I tk a deep breath and began. With my vice shaking, I spke f my incnsiderate behaviur, deep regret and the upsetting result withut expsing Judy’s name. After finishing my heartfelt speech, with sweat flwing dwn my face, I didn’t dare t expect my classmates’ respnse. T my surprise, they applauded fr my sincerity. Even Mr. Thmas praised my curage t admit my fault and aplgize publicly. Back t my seat, I stle a lk at Judy and amazingly fund she was als lking at me with tears.
That day marked a turning pint. Althugh Judy and I never directly talked abut that unpleasant events, ur interactins slwly returned t nrmal. We laughed and chatted again, as if a silent frgiveness had been granted. I was never prud f my bravery in that speech class. Instead, I knew fr sure it was an experience t be mdestly thankful fr. Here are the lessns I have carried clse t my heart ever since: Speaking ill f thers plant seeds f regret and true friendships deserve the respect f hnest wrds and pen hearts.
Versin 2
Knwing what I had t say, I calmed myself dwn and walked t the platfrm. My hands were trembling slightly but my reslve was firm. “My mst embarrassing mment,” I started, “was abut the pain I caused t smene else.” As I spke, I culd see Judy in the audience, her eyes glistening with tears. “I hurt my friend deeply, nt ut f ill will, but ut f thughtlessness,” I admitted, my vice thick with remrse. “I want t make things right.” I lked directly at Judy, ur eyes meeting acrss the rm. There was silence, then applause began t build, a wave f supprt filling the air, in which Judy smiled with a nd f acknwledgment.
That day marked a turning pint. Nt nly did I make amends with Judy, but I als learned t be mre mindful f my wrds and actins. I came t realize that wrds have pwer t hurt r heal, and it’s never t late t make things right. Mre imprtantly, it became a catalyst fr persnal grwth, and ur friendship, nce shaken, was nw strnger than ever. Judy and I started talking again, and with each cnversatin, ur bnd deepened. The incident, which had nce seemed like a dark clud, became a silver lining, teaching us bth the imprtance f frgiveness and the strength that cmes frm facing ur mistakes head-n.

M: If yu dream f a newer and fitter yu, starting this January, I have sme bad news: 70% f health-related New Years reslutins are given up in the first week. By the end f the mnth, 90% f us have gt the chclate cake back in the cupbard and the pizzas in the freezer, while the new gym membership card is gathering dust. This may nt seem a very inspiring start n mtivatin, but we need t learn what has gne wrng, s that this time we can d it differently, with the help f science. I guess mst f us have started smething with gd intentins, nly t fail at a later stage thrugh shrtage f smething, such as energy r cmmitment. S, what’s the secret?Exercise devtin, which means making an rganized prgram and keep up with it, applies t everyne; frm great athletes wh need the extra drive that turns a natural talent int an Olympic gld, t the verweight wh need t d smething t prtect themselves against heart disease and cancer. Smewhere in the middle f these extremes, struggling t get t the gym three times a week, is yu. This invlves setting realistic gals, scheduling wrkuts, tracking prgress, and adjusting the prgram as needed. Yu can d it. All yu need is a bit f mral supprt and sme gd ld-fashined determinatin.
