In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cwby wh saved his twn, a strict father wh demanded his sn earn straight A’s, and a mdern-day Juliet wh died f heartbreak after her parents rejected the lve f her yung life. Mre than nce, I fund myself wndering just hw my students, wh’d created these peple, knew their subjects s well.
But things were different fr their first essay, which was abut the questin: “Why is writing imprtant?” Mst f the essays filled less than ne page, and few cntained a sentence that culd be interpreted as a thesis (论点 ) statement. I was shcked. Then I realized that the prblem was the questin itself. They culd have written pages n the necessity f cmputers, but writing, in and f itself, simply didn’t strike them as imprtant. This wuld have t change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyne t write a persuasive piece n a health-related tpic f their chice. This time they fund the exercise much mre interesting. Fr the next tw assignments, a persnal-narrative unit fllwed by a creative-writing wrkshp, I nly required that the piece meet the specificatins f its genre (体裁) and that it cntain a thesis.The results were staggering. The students tk n diverse tpics and turned in stries, 10 t20 pages each, with characters that bradened my view and tuched my heart.
I walked int class believing that writing is imprtant as a means f cmmunicatin. Hwever, my students demnstrated smething mre imprtant t me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbk full f messages abut writing’s mst pwerful significance — the ability t cnnect peple, t put us in anther’s skin, t teach us what it means t be human.
4. Wh are the peple mentined at the beginning f paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders.B. Students’ parents.
C. Mdern writers.D. Fictinal characters.
5. What did the authr realize abut the students’ first essay?
A. The tpic failed t aruse their interest.
B. The students lacked basic writing skills.
C. The time given fr the essay was t shrt.
D. The students didn’t knw hw t write a thesis.
6. What des the underlined wrd“staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Cntrversial.B. Remarkable.
C. Time-cnsuming.D. Upsetting.
7. What des the authr’s experience shw?
A. Teaching is learning.B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knwledge is pwer.D. Practice makes perfect.

Eln Musk has ffered a prize f $100m fr the best carbn capture prpsal. I can save his cmmittee a lt f time. The mney shuld g t Peter Whlleben, whse bk The Hidden Life f Trees was the mst valuable bk f 2015 that everyne shuld read t understand trees and ur planet better. Whlleben’s idea is this: d nthing abut trees. Stp fiddling (干预) with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle, ur Rmes will burn.
The Hidden Life f Trees argued that trees are scial. It shws that they can be ur savirs. But it’s terribly hard t let urselves be saved. We think we can be the authrs f ur salvatin (拯救). Of curse, there are things we culd and shuld be ding, but in terms f frestry practice, ften what’s billed as part f the slutin is part f the prblem.
Anyne wh has planted a tree in their garden knws that it has a far-reaching effect — it makes yur garden cler in summer and warmer in winter. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing ur behavir — and that’s hw trees survive, t. Trees learn frm their past harms and prduce yunger nes prgrammed with thse lessns. They regulate their grwth by changing the rate at which they drip-feed (滴喂) yunger trees with sugar slutin thrugh rt netwrks.
Deciduus (落叶的) frests in particular remve greenhuse gases effectively as lng as they live. Cut them dwn and burn them and yu’re releasing carbn dixide nt just frm the wd, but als frm the frest flr. Deciduus trees are nt “harvest-ready” at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must questin cmfrting expressins such as “renewable energy” and learn the real cst f ur tilet paper.
If we dn’t learn t d nthing abut trees, they will eventually be alne anyway — but withut us. Whlleben brilliantly and readably shws us hw urgent and hw hard it is t d nthing.
8. What des Whlleben suggest fr carbn capture?
A. Fight climate change.B. Leave trees alne.
C. Save the earth.D. Change frestry species.
9. Hw d trees survive the climatic change?
A. They adjust their grwth.B. They lse all their leaves.
C. They stp absrbing water.D. They get help frm humans.
10. Why des the authr mentin “tilet paper” in paragraph 4?
A. T shw trees are used t make daily necessities.
B. T encurage peple t use renewable energy.
C. T remind peple f the real cst f cutting trees.
D. T explain hw frests remve greenhuse gases.
11. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T recmmend a bk.
B. T clarify a prpsal fr a reward.
C. T illustrate the carbn capture system.
D. T give an accunt f the survival f trees.

Beneath the Pacific lies the Clarin-Clippertn Zne (CCZ), where tens f billins f plymetallic ndules (多金属结核) are packed with cbalt (钴). Seabed-mining cmpanies prmte them as “a battery in a rck” and “the easiest way t slve climate change.” They claim that thse ndules can prvide metals fr 4.8 billin electric vehicles.
Yet this prmise threatens a bilgical treasure. Marine (海洋的) bilgists reveal the CCZ shelters ver 5,000 unique species in the darkness. The extensive mining f cbalt may lead t the lss f bidiversity. A cmpany claimed t have fund a slutin t minimize the damage t the eclgy and has already trialed a 25-tn cllectr rbt designed t harvest these ndules. Hwever, a 2023 study shws it can cause permanent destructin in the area.
Cmmercial mining is nt yet permitted in internatinal waters. The Internatinal Seabed Authrity (ISA) is still determining hw, and under what cnditins, mining shuld be allwed. After 28 years f debate, its 168 member states still lack frmal agreement. While cmpanies advcate using ndule-cllecting rbts, 437 scientists frm 44 cuntries demand an immediate stp.ISA studies cnfirm that just 10% mining f the CCZ may wipe ut 50% f its species.
Nr is it certain that cbalt mining will even be all that imprtant in car-battery technlgy. Many battery cmpanies are trying t recycle cbalt frm spent batteries. In March, several majr Eurpean carmakers jintly stated that they wuld nt buy any metals prduced frm deep-sea mining befre the envirnmental risks are “cmpletely understd”. Meanwhile, several Chinese electric vehicle prducers have already made the switch, recycling up t 95% f metals frm used batteries. “Why rush t mine the cean fr metals becming utdated?” said battery expert Gavin Harper.
On June 8, 21 marine scientists frm 8 universities finished a six-week research in the CCZ and packed up seaflr samples t take back t their labs fr further analysis. “An assessment f the mining’s impact will take years f research,” says Andrew frm Edinburgh. “I’m trying t get the best envirnmental data. And then it’s up t sciety t make the decisin t g ahead.”
12. Why are the ndules called “a battery in a rck”?
A. They cntain valuable metals.
B. They have recharging qualities.
C. They wn battery-like structures.
D. They generate renewable pwer.
13. What can be inferred abut the ISA?
A. It priritizes ecnmic interests.
B. It is guarded abut seabed mining.
C. It ppses cmmercial peratins.
D. It requires mre technical supprt.
14. What des the authr want t illustrate in Paragraph 4?
A. Deep-sea mining meets demands.
B. Carmakers reuse battery materials.
C. Battery recycling needs prmting.
D. Seabed mining fr cbalt can wait.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Marine Mining, a Green Slutin
B. Cbalt, the Future f Batteries
C. Ocean Metals, an Ocean Risk?
D. CCZ, the Treasure Unknwn?

The car turned nt the familiar rad that led t Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer hliday will be a great chance fr yu t stay with yur grandma,” Dad said as he drve.
The car engine wasn’t ff befre Grandma hugged me. I slwly dragged myself ut f the car. “Jude, yu lk unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nthing bad had happened last time.
