一、阅读理解
Small regular actions performed over 21 days can create a significant impact in our personal lives. When these actions are done by groups of people, the impact are even further. That’s why Kindspring is organized. It is a program which includes various 21-day challenges, such as a Kindness Challenge, a Mindfulness Challenge, a Gratitude Challenge, an Eco-Footprint Challenge and so on.
Leading research indicates that we can address social issues by changing the way we view and interact with the world. We each are part of a whole and everything we do (every thought, word and deed) affects the whole. Taking on a challenge as a group offers the opportunity to grow as a community. It’s a great way to build positive habits. It’s a whole lot of fun!
You will find a list of resources describing the drivers behind the experiments of KindSpring. This includes the latest research within each topic area, from the subjects of the challenges themselves to the structure of the challenge. It also includes links to beautiful stories that can happen inside ourselves and in our communities through these practices.
If you only want the basics of why this program works, just check out these links:

In 2020, explorer Shears received enough funding for a search for Captain Shackleton’s lost ship the Endurance. Partnering with engineer Vincent, who has helped locate hundreds of sunken ships, the team studied past failures and finally chose firm underwater vehicles for the search. Vincent noted they needed tools for extreme conditions, which can be compared to mountain-ready trucks. So Hugin 6000 came into their view for the first time. It is an effective subsea vehicle, which had been highly praised in this field.
However, their first attempt faced an immediate challenge. Hugin 6000’s major failure alarm sounded in the extreme cold. Vincent used a retired winch (绞车) with a heater over to lengthen Hugin 6000’s battery (电池) life. This simple solution finally allowed for deep-sea searches.
During deep-sea search, they found the original location marks had mistakes. Fortunately, Frank, an astronomer of the team, used the team’s star observations to correct the location. With the updated location marks, the team narrowed the search area. Still, the moving ice made even this smaller zone difficult to explore.
After weeks of disappointment, hope arrived on March 5,2022. They captured a sonar (声呐) image of the Endurance’s pole from the vehicle’s sensors. “I want to see the ship with the camera!” Vincent shouted with excitement. After many attempts, they eventually took a clear picture of the boat with a camera. They found the Endurance in excellent condition after being underwater for 106 years.
Shears, who was normally quiet and serious, excitedly hugged Vincent to celebrate their success. The amazing discovery happened exactly 100 years after Shackleton died, perfectly matching his famous saying “Hang in there, and we will achieve victory.”
4．What can we know about the Hugin 6000
A．It had just come into the market.
B．It could work well in tough conditions.
C．It was designed for mountain climbing.
D．It had been developed by the team.
5．How did they solve the equipment problem
A．Buying newer robots. B．Using an old winch.
C．Upgrading its heater. D．Turning to powerful batteries.
6．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．New challenges caused by moving ice.
B．Ways to explore icy regions effectively.
C．Technical problems in locating the ship.
D．Efforts and challenges in searching for the ship.
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．Never Give up: Finding a Lost Ship.
B．Captain Shackleton: A Great Explorer.
C．Solving Antarctica’s Weather Problems.
D．Modern Tools for Ocean Exploration.
Two years ago, UNESCO formally recognized Jingmai Mountain as a World Heritage site, an honor for places that provide unique cultural value. It is the only site related to tea cultivation (种植).
During the second half of the 20th century, China’s focus on mass production from high-yield, large terrace plantations left little room for the old tea trees. Fortunately, the remote location of Jingmai helped protect the original farming methods of Jingmai’s tea. Unlike those mass-produced tea trees, the Jingmai’s tea trees grow in Jingmai Mountain forests. Situated 4,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level, Jingmai’s tea forests benefit from cool temperatures that allow tea trees to develop leaves with unique flavors.
Jingmai’s closely managed lands may be in contrast to terraced tea plantations seen throughout the world. High trees there provides shelter for tea plants that grow best in shade. The tea plant areas are also divided into different parts, stopping the spread of diseases.
While growers across other Yunnan tea mountains cut their ancient tea trees to plant younger, more productive trees, the locals of Jingmai have been protecting their living treasure. They believe that everything has a soul, a reminder to leave nature undisturbed, so they avoid pesticides (农药). They cut grass between the trees only twice a year and with knives.
A recent study by Minzu University of China found that tea produced from the mountain’s trees was less bitter than tea from trees planted at lower altitude. And the natural farming methods support a significantly higher biodiversity than common tea gardens. Jingmai tea’s present price is about 6.5 times higher than that of typical plantations.
Now our government and local people protect both the ancient trees and the cultural traditions surrounding them, making sure these living tea museums continue for future generations.
8．What is special about Jingmai’s tea trees
A．They use chemical products.
B．They grow naturally in forests.
C．They produce low-quality tea leaves.
D．They grow fast due to warm weather.
9．What mainly contributes to the unique flavour of Jingmai’s tea
A．The high location of the tea trees.
B．The shade provided by high trees in the forest.
C．The development of Chinese industrial farming.
D．The practice to leave the original tea trees undisturbed.
10．How does the method of dividing areas help the tea trees
A．By providing much shelter.
B．By allowing more plants to grow.
C．By preventing diseases from spreading.
D．By helping tourists walk between plants.
11．Why does the the author mention Minzu University’s study
A．To drive up the high price of Jingmai’s tea.
B．To explain the process of planting Jingmai’s tea.
C．To highlight the marketing plans of Jingmai’s tea.
D．To show the advantages of the Jingmai’s tea trees.
Greenland sharks are believed to live for around 400 years. Normally, an animal can’t grow so old. Over time, falling bodily functions and illnesses like cancer come up and cause damage. Yet the Greenland shark seems to disobey this pattern.
In 2021, Arne Sahm, a bioinformatician, decided to find out reasons for the sharks’ long life. Arne Sahm’s team acquired DNA from the samples (样本) of sharks caught by fishers in the southern bays of Greenland. They published their findings in September.
One element that stood out was a high amount of “jumping genes”. Most organisms, including humans, have “jumping genes”: genes that copy themselves into a new section of a genetic chain. They can introduce genetic diversity, but can also be harmful. If DNA is left damaged, “jumping genes” can contribute to problems within cells, including cancer. But these “jumping genes” might play a more beneficial role in the Greenland shark, creating additional helpful genes, which could slow down aging. Researchers think the better a genome (基因组) is maintained, the longer lifespan an organism could have.
A gene called TP53 also caught the teams’ attention. Seen as the “guardian of the genome”, TP53 is vital for cancer prevention. Many animals have it, including humans. TP53 contains instructions for the protein p53, which helps in tumor suppression (肿瘤抑制) and DNA repair. P53 works by either stopping cells with damaged DNA from dividing further until it’s repaired, or causing them to die. In Greenland sharks, a part of its TP53 gene chain is different from how it typically functions in other animals. Using an AI model, the researchers predicted it could impact p53’s structure and how it handles DNA repair, possibly leading to a longer life.
More studies are needed to confirm the function of the proteins (蛋白质) found in the Greenland shark’s genome. Looking at gene expression would be one next step.
12．How did Arne Sahm’s team conduct their research on Greenland sharks
A．By observing sharks in the wild.
B．By tracking sharks with sensors.
C．By analyzing genes from shark samples.
D．By testing sharks’ survival ability in labs.
13．What can be inferred (推断) about “jumping genes” in Greenland sharks
A．They are unique to Greenland sharks.
B．They always limit genetic differences.
C．They can copy themselves to be better genes.
D．They may help live longer by adding beneficial genes.
14．What helps Greenland sharks live longer than other animals according to paragraph 4
A．Their cells divide much faster than in other animals.
B．Their different TP53 gene might help repair DNA better.
C．Their TP53 gene’s poor function causes faster cell growth.
D．They don’t have the p53 protein that controls cell division.
15．How is the passage organized
A． B． C． D．
A major project called green-prescription (处方) helping people in England connect with nature was launched. More than 8,000 people took part in such activities in the project including community gardening, tree planting and wild swimming. 16
The result can show it. After taking part in the project, people’s feelings of happiness and of life being worthwhile jumped to near national averages while levels of anxiety fell significantly. 17 The traditional treatments took up to 1,000 pounds for 10 sessions nearly twice of it.
“Green social prescribing” is an effective way of supporting people with mental health. But the project is just in its early stage. 18 It is expected to get a new round of funding from authority to work on expanding its reach because there is an awful lot of demand, both from health services and from a lot of people whose needs are not being met.
Connecting with nature is a lifelong resource with proven benefits for mental and physical health. It can cut through generations of pitiable life events. But now many of the patients can’t access nature in this way due to a range of personal, social, and cultural factors. 19 This project has the possibility to reduce the prescribing and treatment costs, as well as addressing many health needs and lowering the risk of several diseases, from diabetes (糖尿病) to depression. So the project tries its best to help more people.
20 It has sites in Humberside, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Manchester, Surrey and the west country. 21% of the people who receive green prescribing are populations from remote areas and 57% from underdeveloped areas.
A．The people in need are recommended to the project.
B．That’s why green social prescribing is so important.
C．The project has reached a broad range of people now.
D．Most of them with mental ill health have benefited from it.
E．The participants were checked before and after the project.
F．The project also found a green prescription was cost-effective.
G．Its further growth requires the assistance of the government system.

Yesterday afternoon, students rushed out of the school gate and greatly rejoiced (高兴) at the arrival of Christmas holiday. They gathered at the flower store to buy flowers for their friends or relatives with pocket money. Opposite the door of the store stood a very small boy named Jim. His face was dirty, with one arm resting against the wall, and his head supported on it, crying sadly. Two or three of the girls came to Jim and asked, “What is the matter that you cry like this ” But he made no reply. Soon many children gathered there out of curiosity.
“Come, tell us what is the matter with you and why you are crying,” one girl repeated softly. And then Jim lifted his face from his arm and said through his tears that he had lost the twenty dollars his parents had given him to buy presents for his grandmother who lived in a nursing home. It had escaped through a hole in his pocket and he showed the hole to them. Jim didn’t want to go home because he was afraid of disappointing his parents. They lived a poor life, and that money meant a lot to them. Saying that, Jim again dropped his head upon his arms and cried in deep sadness.
