Bigger crickets often attack the smaller ones. When attacked，a cricket will cut off its own legs to escape. But after abandoning a leg，this animal will often die or becomes less valuable to buyers. Jrasnatt and Marisa were determined to solve the problem. After some research，they learned that colored light can influence the behaviors of some animals，including insects. To find out，the teen researchers transferred groups of 30 newly hatched crickets into each of 24 boxes. The crickets in six boxes were exposed only to red light. Another six boxes were lit with green. Six more boxes were lit with blue. These three groups of insects spent daytime hours throughout their lives — about two months — in a world bathed in just one color of light. The last six boxes of crickets lived in natural light. “We see they’re growing every day and take notes on what’s happening，”says Marisa.“We’re like the parents of the crickets.”Throughout，the teens kept track of the crickets. The share of crickets with missing legs was about 9 in every 10 among those living in red，blue or natural light. But fewer than 7 in every 10 crickets who grew up in a world of green lost legs. Also，the survival rate for crickets in the green box was four or five times higher than that in the other boxes. Crickets’ eyes are adapted to only see in green and blue light. So，in red light，the world would always look dark. Without being able to see，they are more likely to hit each other. That results in crickets losing legs. Besides，crickets are more attracted to blue light than green light，which pulls them closer together and leads to more fights. In the green light box，the crickets were most likely to mind their own business and avoid struggle. Creating a green-light world for crickets is a solution that could be brought to the farms. Jrasnatt and Marisa are already in talks with the farmers. Those farmers plan to try out green lighting to see if it will boost their profits. 24.What problem of crickets did the girls decide to settle? A. There is no cricket buyer.         B. They often jump high to escape. C. Their legs are cut off by farmers.      D. There are always injuries and deaths. 25.What can we learn about the girls’ research work? A. They conducted the research seriously.      B. They looked after the insects carelessly. C. They observed the crickets day and night.    D. They divided the crickets into three groups. 26.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Possible application of the research finding.    B. A brief introduction to the research method. C. A further explanation for the research results.   D. Detailed information about the research process. 27.What may be the attitude of the cricket farmers towards the girls’ solution? A. Doubtful.     B. Opposed.      C. Supportive.      D. Indifferent. CKobe Bryant is no doubt a legend. How did he do it? Simply put his work principle. He showed up to training every day，no excuses. Without a doubt，it is quite evident that Kobe’s desire for success was directly correlated with his work principle. Kobe Bryant’s work principle is what helped him become the legend he is today. But what also must be understood about Kobe Bryant is that he was relentless（不停的；严格的）. He had a mental toughness and steely focus that was driven by his over-the-top competitiveness. In short，Kobe wanted to be the best，and would do whatever it took to achieve this mental goal. If he had a weakness in one area，he would commit to mastering that weakness. If there was a lack of strength in his shot，he would get to work exhausting all options to correct that lack of strength，researching and then applying the routines that instructed him on how to get stronger. Similarly，if his weakness was a lack of speed，he would put in the time and effort to overcome the limitation. And there lies his secret to success. The willingness to learn and then apply what he learned to move himself closer to his goals. “When I am retired，I don’t want to have to say I wish I would have done more. I don’t want that.”— Kobe Bryant. As such，Kobe Bryant’s success principle can be summarized as a relentless focus on the end result. The great news is the ability to be relentless is in all of you. 28. According to the author，what makes Kobe Bryant a legend? A. Kobe Bryant’s distinguished characters. B. Kobe Bryant’s attitudes towards his work. C. Kobe Bryant’s methods of everyday training. D. Kobe Bryant’s willingness to learn new things. 29. What does the underlined word“over-the-top”in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Potential.        B. Temporary.          C. Apparent.        D. Extraordinary. 30. What does the author want to show best by telling the story of Kobe Bryant? A. A slow sparrow should make an early start. B. All things are difficult before they are easy. C. Success results from consistent efforts. D. Confidence is the first step on the road to success. 31. Which of the following best describes Kobe Bryant? A. Self-disciplined and hard-working.        B. Confident and humble. C. Positive and considerate.            D. Selfless and energetic. DFor a few seconds on a sunny afternoon last April，renewables broke a record for California’s main electric network，providing enough power to supply 94.5% of demand. The moment was praised as a milestone on the path to decarbonisation（脱碳）. But what happens when the sunsets and the winds stop? Handling the varied power production of renewables will require cheap storage for hours or even days at a time. New types of iron-based batteries might be up to the task. Many firms are engaged in developing these kinds of batteries. Oregon- based ESS，whose batteries can store energy for between four and twelve hours，launched its first network-scale projects in 2021. Massachusetts-based Form Energy，which raised $240 million in 2021，has batteries that store power for up to 100 hours. Its first installation will be a one-megawatt（兆瓦）pilot plant in Minnesota，planned to be completed in 2023. Both companies rely on batteries that use iron，one of the most abundant materials on the planet. This means that their offerings could eventually be cheaper than other network storage candidates. Form says its batteries could eventually cost just $20 per kilowatt-hour，lower than even optimistic predictions for lithium-ion（锂离子）batteries in the next several decades. There are still challenges to address: iron batteries typically have low efficiency，meaning a good part of the energy that’s put into them can’t be recovered. Unwanted side reactions can also degrade them over time. But if iron-based batteries can be applied widely，at a low enough cost，they could help power more of the world with renewable energy. 32. What is the author’s purpose of raising a question in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of the article.      B. To support the topic of this paragraph. C. To highlight the importance of energy.       D. To inspire more scientists to study. 33. How does the author develop Paragraph 3? A. By making classifications.        B. By analysing cause and effect. C. By giving examples.            D. By explaining definitions. 34. What do we know about the iron-based batteries in the passage? A. They are bound to quickly replace all the existing batteries. B. They are of great help in spite of several unknown weaknesses. C. They are believed to be applied more widely in the remote areas. D. They are expected to supply more energy at a much lower cost. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Competition: Two Battery Companies B. Possibility: Long-lasting Network Batteries C. Challenge: New Battery with Low Efficiency D. Milestone: Success in Decarbonisation 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Learn from Your RegretsRegret’s benefits don’t come to us by chance. 36 . Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself thinking carefully about your past missteps. Kill the ghost（鬼魂）. People often say their regrets keep coming to their mind. This suggests that regret is like a ghost. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets. Write down why each one still bothers you and its bad effects. 37 . Forgive yourself. 38 ，but sometimes you just can’t stop blaming yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and are constantly calculating today how much money you would be making if you had pressed on to graduation. Now is the time to declare:“I will not waste my life reliving a decision that cannot be changed.” Collect your diploma. Regret is like a school run by human nature. If you never experienced regret，you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities. 39 . Next，list all the ways that you can invest in your own skills and improvement right now — and get started. Regrets may hurt. 40 ，while trying to live without them is a lost opportunity to grow. Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains. To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it，including the mistakes，and moving forward. A. After you make a mistake，life moves on B. Filling your mind with them is destructive C. The ghost certainly doesn’t rule a person’s life D. We have to seek them out on purpose to improve ourselves E. You will find that a list is a lot less frightening than a ghost F. You choose a life sentence for a poor decision you made in the past G. If you let regret teach，you can note how you want to change your behavior 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tempo（节奏）runs scare me. Those long and hard efforts always look impossible when I see them on paper. I remember one 50-minute run 41 . I saw it on my training plan and immediately created a laundry list of 42 for why this was just not going to work，why I wasn’t fit enough，why I wouldn’t 43 — why I would fail. Before I even laced up my shoes，I’d already 44 myself I couldn’t do this. Instead of using the warm-up to find my pace， 45 for success，and get excited to make the best of it，I adopted a 46 mindset（心态），revisited my list of excuses and 47 further into the bad-attitude trap. I quit the workout 48 even before I started. After that，I shortened more workouts and my fitness moved backwards soon. The 49 ，I realized，was that I treated my entire training plan like a tempo run — hard，fast and 50 . I felt that if I didn’t hit a workout early，I wouldn’t be able to 51 . I realized I needed to treat my training like my favourite 52 : the long run. I love settling into a relaxed pace，enjoying the route and 53 on only one goal — finishing. I love that I can have a bad mile in the middle and still end 54 . Now，when I set a new goal and 55 a new training plan，I have what I call“the long-run mindset”. I’m not 56 for immediate results，as I have been in the past. I 57 more about the big picture and my long-term goals as a 58 . Yes，there is still an important place for hard，fast tempo runs，but I have 59 my attitude，to think bigger than short-term 60 and instead work toward lifelong success. 41.
