Shenzhou XV astronauts moved into the Tiangong space station on Nov 30 as they started their six—month stay. The station orbits Earth in about 90 minutes at an altitude of 400 kilometers. The temperature changes greatly, ranging from 150℃ when the station is exposed to the sun to —100℃ when over the night side of the planet.
On Earth, we have heating systems or air—conditioners at home to keep us warm. In Tiangong, what do they have? The answer lies in the designs of thermal(热量的)control system by the China Academy of Space Technology.
The fluid loop(流体回路), with liquid circulating(循环)through its pipes, is one of the technologies used.
“Just like the blood vessels(血管)in the human body, the loop pipes run all over the station modules(舱),” Huang Lei, one of the designers of the system, told Xinhua, “They maintain a temperature balance by removing heat from the parts that tend to overheat and adding heat to other components that tend to get cold,” Huang added.
For the material outside, scientists have developed a silver—colored metallic—based coating to keep a balance between the deep freeze of space and the sun’s heat. It is similar to coating the spaceship with “sunscreen”.
The coating can not only absorb less solar energy but also block heat release from the inside. Being able to do this double—duty job, the coating keeps the environment inside between 18 and 26℃, allowing astronauts to stay comfortable in their orbiting home. It was first used on the Shenzhou XIII spaceship, which was launched on Oct 16, 2021.
Cargo(货物)spacecraft adopt another kind of design—multilayer insulation(多层隔热组件). For example, the Tianzhou 4’s cargo cabin was given a gray—colored material to absorb more sunlight for human activities. Another part that was filled with equipment was painted with a white material to cool off.
1．What can we learn about the Tiangong space station from the first two paragraphs?
A．It orbits the sun at a high speed.
B．It is about 150 kilometers away from Earth.
C．It has a heating system to keep warm.
D．It goes through sharp temperature changes.
2．What is the main function of the loop pipes?
A．Supplying energy. B．Balancing temperature.
C．Reducing pressure. D．Controlling speed.
3．How does the silver—colored metallic—based coating work?
A．By reflecting al the sunlight. B．By producing and releasing heat.
C．By changing the sun’s heat into power. D．By absorbing heat and preventing heat loss.
4．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The launch of a cargo spacecraft.
B．A new recently designed spacecraft.
C．Other materials used outside the cargo spacecraft.
D．The difference of Tianzhou 4’s cargo cabin.

From the moment we are born, we interact with the world through movement. We move our lips to smile or to talk. We extend our hand to touch. How does our brain remember this wide range of motions? How does it learn new ones? How does it make the calculations necessary for us to grab a glass of water, without dropping it, squashing it, or missing it?
Technion Professor Jackie Schiller from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and her team examined the brain at a single-neuron (单神经元) level to shed light on this mystery. They found that calculation happens not just in the interaction between neurons, but within each individual neuron. It turns out that each of these cells is not a simple switch, but a complicated calculating machine.
This discovery, published recently in the Science, promises changes not only to our understanding of how the brain works, but better understanding of conditions ranging from Parkinson’s disease to autism. And if that isn’t enough, these same findings are expected to advance machine learning, providing inspiration for new architectures.
“We used to think of each neuron as a sort of whistle, which either rings, or doesn’t,” Prof. Schiller explains. “Instead, we are looking at a piano. Its keys can be struck at the same time, or in order, producing an infinity (无限) of different tunes.” This complex music playing in our brains is what enables us to learn and perform an infinity of different, complex and precise movements.
These same findings can also serve as an inspiration for the machine learning community. Deep neural networks, as their name suggests, attempt to create software that learns and functions somewhat similarly to a human brain. Although their advances constantly make the news, these networks are primitive compared to a living brain. A better understanding of how our brain actually works can help in designing more complex neural networks, enabling them to perform more complex tasks.

Some 20 percent of adults are procrastinators (拖延症患者). Everyone might put off a task or two, but long-term procrastinators do it at home, at school, at work and in their relationships.
For years, researchers have focused on the personalities of people who procrastinate. The results suggest procrastinators may be impulsive (冲动), worriers and have trouble regulating their emotions. But procrastinators are not lazy. They’re actually very busy doing other things than what they’re supposed to be doing. Though procrastinators may think they perform better under pressure, studies have reported the opposite. And when deadlines are uncertain, procrastinators tend to delay their work.
When people put off a tough task, they feel good-in the moment. Procrastinating is a way to avoid the negative emotions linked to the task. But the relief it provides is only temporary, and many seek out ways to stop procrastinating.
In fact, most research today suggests procrastination is a behavioral pattern, which means it’s something you can change, regardless of whether you’re impulsive. What works best is still under research. Some scientists have reported success with time management. But the evidence for that is all over the map. That’s because poor time management is a symptom not a cause of procrastination.
For some procrastinators, seemingly obvious tips can work. Researchers advise students to simply put down their smartphones. Silencing notifications or studying in the library rather than at home can regulate distractions and keep people on task. But that won’t be enough for many people. Stubborn procrastinators may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). This type of therapy, which involves managing thoughts and emotions and trying to change behavior, seemed to be the most helpful. Still, not many studies have examined treatments, and there’s room for improvement.
9．What does procrastination mean to longtime procrastinators?
A．A personal advantage. B．A habitual behavior.
C．A working motivation. D．An excuse for laziness.
10．What do experts think of procrastinators?
A．They are inactive. B．They are efficient.
C．They are anxious. D．They are careful.
11．What causes people to procrastinate?
A．Their temporary relief from the stress.
B．Their imperfection in personalities.
C．Their poor time management at work.
D．Their high ability to deal with hard work.
12．What may be the best procrastination treatment according to the text?
A．Avoiding smartphones. B．Proper studying places.
C．Good time management. D．Cognitive behavioral therapy.

Wildlife photographer Sam Turley and his wife Vera found a two-week-old blesbok (南非白面大羚羊)—whom they named Meme—on her own. She was spotted wandering around on her own after her mother passed away.
The pair took Meme in and raised the animal themselves for seven months before releasing her back out into the wild. Neither of them had ever raised a blesbok before. So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort. Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok, a dog and a cat all walking together. In the right areas, the blesbok is a really common antelope to see and is therefore often overlooked and under-appreciated. It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok’s secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible.
After releasing Meme back out into the wild, the couple were convinced they would never see her again, until several months later when they were driving around a reserve and happened to come across a herd of blesboks.
Vera called out Meme’s name in the hope of finding Meme. Blesboks all look very similar to one another, which makes it very difficult to distinguish individuals. When Vera started to talk, the herd raised their heads and looked over. Vera continued to call Meme and as all the other blesboks lost interest, one individual held her gaze and ran straight up to her.
After rescuing the lonely animal, Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do. But after having such a strong bond with an animal, it was really difficult to see her go. They had put so much time, effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile.
13．What happened to Meme when she was spotted?
A．She became an orphan. B．She was lost in the forest.
C．She was hunted by a couple. D．She was abandoned by her mother.
14．What was Meme’s life with the couple like?
A．She was rare to be seen outside.
B．She was hard to be artificially fed.
C．She fitted in well with the whole family.
D．She was under-appreciated in the family.
15．Which word can best explain the underlined word “fend” in the last paragraph?
A．Look. B．Care.
C．Search. D．Hunt.
16．Which of the following can best describe the act of rescuing the blesbok?
A．Effortless. B．Unsatisfactory.
C．Rewarding. D．Heartbreaking.

Regularly eating fish as a child can halve the risk of developing asthma (哮喘), as you get older, according to a team of scientists.
Queen Mary University of London researchers studied data from more than 4,500 children born in the 1990s in the UK that have been monitored by scientists since birth. Those who consumed the most omega — 3 heavy fish were less likely to develop the life-threatening illness.
In the UK young families that include children aged 5 to 11 consume the least amount of fish—with just 25 percent of homes having it at least twice a week. One-in-eleven youngsters — 1.1 million children — are receiving treatment for asthma and most adult cases begin in childhood, according to the researchers. Senior author Professor Seif Shaheen said, “Asthma is the most common chronic (慢性的) condition in childhood and we currently don’t know how to prevent it. It is possible a poor diet may increase the risk, but until now most studies have taken snapshots, measuring diet and asthma over a short period of time. Instead, we measured diet and then followed up children over many years to see who developed asthma and who didn’t.”
The researchers found that those in the top quarter for fish consumption had a 51 percent lower risk of developing asthma than those who consume the least oily fish. Seafood is abundant in healthy omega — 3 fatty acids. Oily varieties have the most. Shaheen added, “Whilst we cannot say for certain that eating more fish will prevent asthma in children, based on your findings, it would nevertheless be sensible for children in the UK to consume more fish.”
The results were confirmed in an independent group of people born in Sweden. Shaheen’s team now plan to see if eating fish can help deal with asthma in people who already have the condition.
17．What did the researchers find out about the UK young families?
A．Most of them don’t eat much fish.
B．Most of them have adult asthma cases.
C．Most of them don’t consume healthy food.
D．Most of them play down the seriousness of asthma.
18．What did Shaheen think previous studies on asthma failed to do?
A．Take diet into account. B．Involve enough participants.
C．Analyze the reasons for asthma. D．Track participants for a long time.
19．What advice does Shaheen give?
A．Use less oil to cook fish. B．Avoid omege—3 heavy food.
C．Eat more fish to stay healthy. D．Try different types of seafood.
20．What will Shaheen’s team do next?
A．Find ways to deal with asthma. B．Study further to confirm their findings.
C．Prove whether eating fish can treat asthma. D．Explain why eating fish can prevent asthma.

A New Campaign to Stress the Benefits of a Balanced Diet
Look out for a new TV campaign, entitled “Eat Balanced”, which will highlight the continued benefits of eating meat and dairy (奶制的) products as part of a balanced diet.
Introduction
The campaign spearheaded by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) will appear on TV, social media and supermarket packaging and aims to highlight the nutritional benefits of enjoying red meat and dairy, while showing Britain’s world-class standards in food production and sustainability.
Basis
The campaign will be built on the following three key messages about meat and diary products:
●Meat and dairy products contain vitamin B12, an essential nutrient not naturally present in vegan diet;
●Red meat and dairy products from Britain are produced to world-class standards;
●Red meat and dairy products from Britain are among the most sustainable in the world.
The Aim
AHDB is conveying a message to consumers for a bright new year—enjoy the food you eat.
AHDB’s Chief Communications and Market Development Officer Christine Watts says, “In Britain, we have so much to be proud of when it comes to the food we eat, how it’s produced and the entire journey from farm to fork. Our farmers operate farms in the excellent way, so our food meets the international criterion. This campaign is aimed to balance the negative commentary around farming, as well as highlight the importance of eating meat and dairy products as part of a balanced and healthy diet.”
21．What is the new campaign based on?
A．British eating habits. B．Corporate advertising.
C．Some supermarket regulations. D．Some important food information.
22．What message does Christine Watts convey?
A．British food is up to standard. B．British food is short of supply.
C．British farmers are fond of meat. D．British farmers are hard-working.
23．What section of a magazine is the text most probably taken from?
A．Society and economy. B．Health and diet.
C．Industry and production. D．Agriculture and farming.

When it comes to going green, intention can be easier than action. Case in point: you decide to buy a T shirt made from 100% organic cotton. But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story — like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 2,640 gal. (10,000 L) of water to grow enough fiber for one T shirt. Or the possibility that the T shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T shirt green? Would you still buy it?
It’s a question that most of us are ill-equipped to answer. That’s because the global economy development has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences — for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose.
But what if we could calculate the full lifetime effect of our actions on the earth and on our bodies? Not just carbon footprints but social and biological footprints as well? What if we could think ecologically? That’s what psychologist Daniel Goleman describes in his forthcoming book, Ecological Intelligence. He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically — understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices.
Ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It’s also about our ability to accept that we live in an closely connected world with limited resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. “We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts,” says Goleman. “Not any more.”
24．Why is it hard for us to decide whether a T shirt is green or not?
A．The green label tells lies. B．We lack enough knowledge.
C．The economy grows too slowly. D．We are misled by false data.
25．What can readers do after reading Ecological Intelligence?
A．Increase carbon footprint. B．Give up regular consumption.
C．Develop ecological thinking. D．Deliver information to customers.
26．How do the Tibetans of Sher live?
A．By searching for new resources. B．By living on plentiful resources.
C．By treasuring their resources. D．By distributing resources reasonably.
27．What’s the purpose of the text?
A．To praise Tibetan villagers. B．To solve an environmental problem.
C．To instruct how to go green. D．To advocate ecological intelligence.

One day Hilary Krieger was sitting in her parents’ home when her friend accidentally squirted (喷、射) himself with an orange slice. “I said, ‘Oh, the orange just orbisculated,’” she recalls. “And he said, ‘It did what?’” The two made a $5 bet, and Hilary confidently grabbed the family dictionary. But “Orbisculate” is somehow not in the dictionary!
Hilary burst into her dad’s study and told him the shocking news. He looked kind of embarrassed, and said he had made up this word in college and defined it as “When you dig your spoon into a grapefruit and it squirts juice directly into your eye.”. He had just been using it all the time. She was mad at his words but quickly came to see her dad’s made-up word as a gift, one that showed his creativity and inventive spirit.
Two decades later, Hilary found herself telling that funny story again and again. Her father, Neil Krieger, passed away in April 2020 at age 78. Then Hilary began to think that “orbisculate” is such a great word; it should be in the dictionary!
Getting a word into the dictionary isn’t easy. Merriam-Webster adds only about 1,000 new words to its master database every year. Only words with a large and broad readership in publications can enter the dictionary.
Then Hilary, 44, hatched a plan. She built a website called orbisculate.com and encouraged people to use the word publicly enough. Many friends and strangers are inspired. Some wear T-shirts with the word printed on them. Some use the word in an online crossword puzzle. Some even put a homemade orbisculation warning sign in a grocery store.
It has been three years since Neil’s death. Even if the word doesn’t make it into the dictionary, Hilary feels her effort to get her father’s word into the dictionary has helped her recapture a little of the joy that has been missing from their lives.
28．What can we know about the word “orbisculate”?
A．It was widely acknowledged. B．It was made up to trick others.
C．It was of practical use. D．It was wrongly used by Hilary.
29．What’s the function of Paragraph 4?
A．Presenting some evidence. B．Adding some background.
C．Introducing a new topic. D．Making a comparison.
30．Why did Hilary build a website?
A．To make a profit. B．To appreciate friends and strangers.
C．To memorize her father. D．To get the word officially recognized.
31．What’s the best title of the text?
A．Warning: This Fruit May Orbisculate B．Love: A Daughter Recalls Her Father
C．Wonder: A Word Went Into Dictionary D．Memory: A Creative and Inventive Father

Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.
I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.
This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator(朗读者) for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.
Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud—highlights so far have included Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.
Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, author of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.
So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!
Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a ‘ the’, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioral is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.
Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.
32．What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?
A．The purpose of schooling. B．His love for reading aloud.
C．The power of encouragement. D．His talent for silent reading.
33．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?
A．He regrets being a TV host. B．He doesn’t like non-fiction at all.
C．He lacks working experience. D．He is aware of his disadvantages.
34．Why could the author get the job as a narrator?
A．Because he was specifically invited. B．Because he applied for it in person.
C．Because he read many bedtime stories. D．Because he had a big crowd of fans.
35．What does the author think of being a narrator?
A．Frightening but profitable. B．Rewarding but unsafe.
C．Demanding but enjoyable. D．Promising but unstable.

As a parent of two young children, I sometimes find myself saying less-than-perfect things: “If you spill (洒) that milk everywhere, you’re not drinking milk for the rest of your life.” or “Hold on, Mommy’s on the phone.” (Not really, Mommy is checking her Facebook.)
But at the library, I’m better. When I’m at the library, watching my two kids with heads bent over books, I feel certain I’m getting one thing right. And that thing is plainly, the library.
It starts with the walk over, when my sons and I gather up the books that are due and head out the door. Nate sits in the pushchair (折叠式幼儿车) and Clark holds my hand as we cross the street. We talk about what we’re renewing and how many books we’re going to get. “It’s really nice that we live so close to our library,” Clark sometimes remarks.
We started going to the library when Clark was a baby. I knew I wanted books and reading to be ingrained (根深蒂固的) in his life from an early age. I took Clark there at least every three weeks (when the books were due) starting when he was around six months old. He came to know our librarians-Bev and Blossom are his favorites. He began to practice writing his name so that he’d qualify for his own library card.
As soon as we arrive, I feel like we’re at our happy place. You may think it’s our happy place because my children suddenly become quiet -let me assure you that’s not it. I frequently have to remind excited Clark and Nate to whisper. I’m happy because at the library I know I’m doing something good for them-without the cajoling (劝诱) that good-for-them things often require. The added bonus for a book lover like me is the flood of joy that comes when I see either of my kids turning the pages of a book they pulled off the shelves themselves.

A team of researchers at ETH Zurich have the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold-based coating that can turn sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevents them from fogging. The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It uses infrared radiations from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating mainly uses heat to stop fogging. The coating uses a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it warm up to 8 ℃. Before that, products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty things, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating prevents water.
Besides, the coating is thinner, which makes it more vitreous and move more easily. It is heated quickly and requires no additional energy source. Gold might be expensive during the day, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs low.
However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does depend on a certain amount of light. The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will study whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to worry about that this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. Hopefully, this pioneering product will soon be sold on the market.
43．Why does the author mention anti-fogging sprays?
A．To stress the advantages of the new coating.
B．To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.
C．To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging sprays.
D．To explain the reason for anti-fogging sprays being popular.
44．Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “vitreous” in paragraph 3?
A．Heavy. B．Dirty. C．Clear. D．Cool.
45．What is the limitation of the new coating?
A．It is very expensive. B．It is difficult to clean.
C．It depends on light to work. D．It takes too much time to produce.
46．What is the author’s attitude to the new coating?
A．Worried. B．Supportive. C．Doubtful. D．Uncertain.

Betty Sandison was having lunch with some friends when the subject of wish lists came up. Although she had spent more than 30 years working as a registered nurse, Betty told her friends that she regretted never finishing the bachelor’s degree she’d started more than 67 years earlier.
Betty was the first person in her family to pursue higher education. With a dream of becoming a nurse, Betty enrolled at the University of Minnesota. But when she was just 25 credits short of getting her degree, for some reason, Betty dropped out of school and soon got married. Her career was put on hold as the couple moved around for her husband’s job, spending time living in different places.
Many years later, Betty returned to community college to become a registered nurse. She worked as a nurse for more than 30 years before retiring in 2013.
But in 2018, she still felt regretful over her unfinished degree. Encouraged by her friends, Betty decided to return to university to complete her bachelor’s degree. She chose to live in the dormitory and got on well with her roommates. She enrolled in classes and started working on those last 25 credits. However, she was discouraged by the new technology used when taking online courses during the coronavirus pandemic. Even so, Betty persevered.
At age 84, Betty got her bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies from the College of Continuing and Professional Studies. She described the accomplishment as “pure joy, pure satisfaction”. Betty may even audit (旁听) college classes now that her degree is complete. She is not sure what’s next, but there’s one thing she does know: Life’s too short to live with regrets!
47．Why didn’t Betty get her bachelor’s degree?
A．Because she decided to marry her beloved one.
B．Because she didn’t achieve the required credits.
C．Because she dropped out of school to work as a nurse.
D．Because she volunteered to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
48．What made Betty less confident during her pursuit of her bachelor’s degree?
A．The difficult courses. B．The new technology.
C．The coronavirus pandemic. D．The interpersonal relationship.
49．Which of the following can best describe Betty?
A．Accomplished and friendly. B．Popular and caring.
C．Determined and hard-working. D．Ambitious and responsible.
50．What message does this passage convey?
A．Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.
B．Not matter of the today will drag tomorrow.

Molly Wogan loves dogs so much that she decided to give up a big party of her life to help them. When she learned many dogs lived in bad conditions or had their lives cut short, she decided to give them back to the dog shelters that had helped her family find their family dogs.
So, instead of having a big party for her initiation ceremony (成人礼), she decided to help the dogs. As Molly said, “To be an adult means doing good things, but I didn’t want to focus on a party. I didn’t really need a party, but the dogs need the help.”
Molly was already a shelter volunteer helping out once each week. But she decided to take things to the next level. Molly started the Precious Animals Wonderful Shelters Project to help the dogs in bad situations travel across the country to find people who were willing to adopt them. Molly set a target to raise $2,500 in one year to give to 14 local shelters along with items like toys. Over the year, her project grew.
Molly ended up volunteering over 400 hours and sold homemade dog toys and treats, and key chains at 45 different events. In just a year, she raised $38,000. Meanwhile she also took two “transport” trips from Georgia to her home state of Massachusetts to move 110 at-risk dogs to the Northeast, where she helped each find a home. With the money she raised, she could get every dog vet visits, food and transport.
Molly hopes to save another 100 dogs this year. She is a wonderful example of a young person following her heart and taking action to make the world a better place. Molly is not only saving 100 dogs’ lives, but she is changing the lives of those who adopt them as well.

I grew up in a poor family. This was something I did not realize until I was older. I thought everyone in the city took the bus, because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus. I thought everyone in the city used the food bank, because all my friends’ families ate the same government-labeled food as my family ate. We all wore hand-me-down clothes.
Shopping with my mom made me first understand that my family was a little different. My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using. I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said that we used food stamps that were provided by government so we could eat.
In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. Though my mother was uneducated, she taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in a poor family taught me perseverance(毅力) I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on schoolwork and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man, I started understanding how my experiences made it possible for me to be resilient(有适应力的), and how to respect people for who they are as an individual and not by what they have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poor life that do not actually come from the people experiencing it. These opinions come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience. “Hardworking, trustworthy, reliable, clean, efficient, successful and disciplined” are all words not specially connected with poor life. But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poor life. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where I’m from.
64．Why does the author mention his experience in Paragraph 1?
A．To show similar living environment to others.
B．To introduce a normal way of poor people’s life.
C．To stress his values born out of his poor early life.
D．To indicate his unawareness of poverty at an early age.
65．How might the author feel about his family background before high school?
A．Confident. B．Awkward. C．Conflicted. D．Anxious.
66．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The poor should be respected based on how they look.
B．The author’s poverty inspired him to pursue material wealth.
C．It’s poverty that has motivated the author to develop good qualities.
D．Poor life will definitely contribute to an individual’s quality building.
67．What is the text mainly about?
A．Tiredness due to poor life as a child.
B．Differences among the poor.
C．Lessons from poverty-struck childhood.
D．Misunderstanding of poverty.

Saddle attached. Mount up. Reins in hand. Racing with the wind and jumping to the sky, freshmen Natalle Gordon and Lauren Tate become one with their horses. Gordon and Tate participate in equestrian (马术) jumping and hunting with the Texas Rose Horse Park and King’s Equestrian organizations. They will be competing in jumping and hunting events during October.
“My favorite part about riding and jumping is the high speed,” Gordon said. “I’ve had a lot of exciting and crazy moments.” Gordon has been riding for 4 years and participates in hunting events, a slow and complicated variation of jumping. Hunting events are subjectively judged based on how well the horse performs over fences. The pair of rider and horse is judged on style, pace, and manners as well.
Gordon’s horse, Casino, is a Welsh pony. Together the two have achieved impressive results including first place in a Derby, a large competition in the equestrian world, which was a big accomplishment.
Tate, on the other hand, participates in jumping events and has been riding since childhood. Jumping is a fast paced and less formal event. Jumping is scored objectively. The horse and rider’s goal is to clear all the fences in the course as quickly as possible without making any mistakes by knocking over the bars of the fence.
“It’s a speed round,” Tate said. “You just have to be the fastest person and get to the jump and win.” Tate’ horse, Chief, is a Chestnut Appendix. Together they have gotten champion awards in jumpers. “I love Chief,” Tate said. “I’m really proud of the work we’ve done together.”
Both Tate and Gordon have bonded through horse riding. Along with bonding with each other, they have established a deep love of their horses. “It’s you and your horse out there,” Tate said. “You are never alone. You’re partners through it all.”
68．What can we know from the text?
A．Tate began to ride 4 years ago. B．Gordon and Tate have got champions.
C．Jumping is scored subjectively. D．Gordon and Tate fight in the same race
69．The underlined word “clear” in Paragraph 4 means closely to ________.
A．move away B．tidy up C．leap over D．figure out
70．What do we know about the riders and their horses?
A．They grow inseparable for their harmony in races.
B．They find it challenging to make progress every time.
C．They become competitive because they fight against each other.
D．They turn enthusiastic about trying other games about horse riding.
71．Which column of a newspaper is this text probably from?

5．推理判断题。根据第一段“From the moment we are born, we interact with the world through movement. We move our lips to smile or to talk. We extend our hand to touch. How does our brain remember this wide range of motions? How does it learn new ones? How does it make the calculations necessary for us to grab a glass of water, without dropping it, squashing it, or missing it? (从我们出生的那一刻起，我们就通过运动与世界互动。我们动嘴唇是为了微笑或说话。我们伸出手去触摸。我们的大脑是如何记住如此广泛的动作的呢？它是如何学习新知识的？它是如何进行必要的计算，让我们抓起一杯水，而不掉到地上，压扁它，或者错过它？)”，第二段第一句“Technion Professor Jackie Schiller from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and her team examined the brain at a single-neuron (单神经元) level to shed light on this mystery.

(大约20%的成年人是拖延症患者。每个人都可能会推迟一两个任务，但长期拖延者会在家里、学校、工作和人际关系中拖延。)”可知，长期拖延症患者不只是在任务上拖延，而是生活中的方方面面都是如此，这说明拖延已经成为他们的一种习惯。故选B项。
10． 推理判断题。根据第二段“The results suggest procrastinators may be impulsive (冲动), worriers and have trouble regulating their emotions. But procrastinators are not lazy. They’re actually very busy doing other things than what they’re supposed to be doing.

11．细节理解题。根据第三段“When people put off a tough task, they feel good-in the moment. Procrastinating is a way to avoid the negative emotions linked to the task. But the relief it provides is only temporary, and many seek out ways to stop procrastinating. (当人们推迟一项艰巨的任务时，他们在那一刻感觉很好。拖延是一种避免与任务相关的负面情绪的方法。但它提供的缓解只是暂时的，许多人都在寻找停止拖延的方法。)”可知，拖延会使人短暂地从压力中解脱出来，避免与任务相关的负面情绪，所以导致人们拖延。故选A项。
12．细节理解题。根据最后一段“For some procrastinators, seemingly obvious tips can work. Researchers advise students to simply put down their smartphones. Silencing notifications or studying in the library rather than at home can regulate distractions and keep people on task. But that won’t be enough for many people. Stubborn procrastinators may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法). This type of therapy, which involves managing thoughts and emotions and trying to change behavior, seemed to be the most helpful. (对于一些拖延症患者来说，看似显而易见的建议是有效的。研究人员建议学生们放下智能手机。将通知静音或在图书馆学习，而不是在家里学习，可以控制干扰，让人们专注于工作。但这对很多人来说还不够。顽固的拖延症患者可能会从认知行为疗法中受益。这种类型的治疗，包括管理思想和情绪，并试图改变行为，似乎是最有帮助的。)”可知，相比于放下手机，选择适合的学习环境，包括了思想和情绪管理以及试图改变行为的认知行为疗法似乎是最有帮助的。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章倡导大家作为消费者，要培养生态学思维方式。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“But that green label doesn’t tell the whole story — like the fact that even organic cotton requires more than 2,640 gal. (10,000 L) of water to grow enough fiber for one T shirt. Or the possibility that the T shirt may have been dyed (染色) using harmful industrial chemicals. If you knew all that, would you still consider the T shirt green? (但是这个绿色标签并不能说明全部情况——比如，即使是有机棉也需要超过2640加仑(10000升)的水来生产一件T恤所需的纤维。或者T恤可能是用有害的工业化学品染色的。如果你知道这一切，你还会认为这件T恤是绿色的吗?你还会买吗?)”及第二段“It’s a question that most of us are ill-equipped to answer. That’s because the global economy development has outpaced our ability to comprehend the consequences — for ourselves and the planet. We are not prepared to understand the increasing impact of industrial chemicals on our children’s health or the climate. And we lack the data to understand the full impact of what we choose. (这是一个我们大多数人都没有能力回答的问题。这是因为全球经济的发展已经超过了我们理解其后果的能力——对我们自己和地球都是如此。我们还没有准备好理解工业化学品对我们孩子的健康或气候的日益严重的影响。我们缺乏数据来理解我们选择的全部影响)”可知，我们只看标签是不够的，我们对背后的生产过程不了解，缺乏相关知识，很难知道这款产品是否环保。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“He compiles (汇编) the environmental and biological impact of our every decision and delivers that information to consumers in a user-friendly way. That’s thinking ecologically — understanding the global environmental consequences of our local choices. (他汇总了我们每一个决定对环境和生物的影响，并以一种用户友好的方式将这些信息传递给消费者。这就是从生态学的角度思考——理解我们在当地的选择对全球环境造成的影响)”可知，作者在Ecological Intelligence一书中教读者学习从生态学的角度去思考。故选C项。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for thousands of years, villagers have survived severe conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them.
