WELCOME TO DENTAL 2023 IMPLANT CENTER GRAND OPENING! VISIT OUR NEW LOCATION 3317 E. 10th ST. , LONG BEACH Save this coupon（优惠券） and you can enjoy the maximum discount in our new office: Single tooth implant costs only $700! （A 10% discount of normal）. Including implant, abutment and crown. Due date: 03/31/24. Cannot be combined with insurance fees or other coupons. New patients only.
NOW SERVING YOU IN THREE LOCATIONS! IRVINE: 39 Creek Road, Suite 210 LAGUNA NIGUEL: 30012 Crown Valley Pkwy, STEB Unlike traditional artificial teeth, which are removable, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and then topped with a restoration such as a dental crown（牙冠）. They feel much more natural than conventional alternatives. Additionally, dental implants can help to prevent bone deterioration（退化） that is caused by missing teeth. The bone begins to deteriorate when you lose a tooth because it is no longer being stimulated daily. This can lead to severe bone loss over time. But by placing dental implants into the jawbone, we can preserve this structure. If you're missing one, two, or all of your teeth, we encourage you to visit our new office in Long Beach, or call （949）857-6757 to schedule your appointment. We would be happy to help you find the best treatment plan to restore your smile and help you enjoy better oral（口腔的） health soon!

On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot-how he might make a difference to the food industry-but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn't yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope（坡） and fell over, breaking his neck. The left side of his body was paralyzed（不能活动的）.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put "learning gardens" in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year- round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic（流行病）, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people's lives. "We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before, " says Musk. "People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to supplement their budget, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown. "
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk's non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. "I grew up in the projects when I was young, in what we now call food deserts, " says EVE, one of the many celebrities who have teamed up with the organization to encourage people to pick up a free garden. "What I love about this is that it's not difficult. We are all able to grow something.”
24. What inspired Musk to be devoted to food industry
A. An accident.
B. Jamie Oliver's speech.
C. The pandemic.
D. The farm-to-table movement.
25. What can we learn about the Million Gardens Movement
A. It has mainly attracted young generations.
B. It has just accomplished its target.
C. It may be stimulated by a lack of food security.
D. It increases economic burdens for the poor.
26. Which of the following best describes Musk
A. Charitable. B. Honest.
C. Flexible.
D. Strict.
27. Why is EVE taken as an example
A. To demonstrate the program to be non-profit.
B. To share his experience in a food desert.
C. To encourage people to start a free garden.
D. To clarify the reason why he loves a garden.

Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar（花蜜）. But their flight plans actually do have a pattern. Flowers act as the insects' air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer flowers that aren't too flashy.
Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals（花瓣）, in the type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characteristics send signals to the bees, telling them whether to land or not, among which the colors play the most significant role. The insects keep track of the color of the flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color.
However, color can't guarantee bees a good meal. It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits its petals. A yellow follower, for example, may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that even when the color of petals looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the strength of petals' iridescence（彩虹色） might be related to how bees find the petals.
Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab. In their experiment, they found that bees felt confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent. The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current Biology.
"At first sight, it's very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily, "says Klaus Lunau, a biologist in Germany, who was not involved in the study.
28. What can we know about the flight of bees
A. They usually fly in a regular pattern.
B. They fly under the direction of flowers.
C. They usually fly without any purpose.
D. They fly to some very flashy flowers.
29. What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar
A. The petals' type.
B. The followers' smell.
C. The followers' electrical charge.
D. The petals' color.
30. What does the underlined word "hypothesis" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Discussion. B. Method. C. Assumption. D. Invention.
31. What is the new finding of the team
A. Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily.
B. Petals of different colors usually give different signals.
C. Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments.
D. Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.
D
Is future you . . you It might seem like a strange philosophical question. But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you might eventually regret.
The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI（核磁共振成像） when people think about their future selves most like the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind's eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger
However, if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self, you are considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow. A paper in the journal PLoS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-being. In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5, 000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived a great overlap（重叠） in qualities between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling out the initial survey.
So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates The psychological mindset with what we call "vividness interventions" works. We have found, for instance, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a letter to-and then from-your future self. As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students engaged in this type of "send-and-reply" exercise, they experienced elevated （升高的） levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives-both today and tomorrow.
32. What's the function of paragraph 2
A. Generating further discussion.
B. Introducing a research result.
C. Showing the effect of the finding.
D. Concluding various viewpoints.
33. How does the author prove his statements
A. By offering relevant statistics.
B. By using quotations.
C. By referring to previous findings.
D. By making comparisons.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Benefits of befriending our future selves.
B. Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C. Methods of changing psychological mindsets.
D. Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
35. What does the article want to tell us
A. Making future plans makes a difference.
B. Our future selves look like other people.
C. Getting to know your future self benefits.
D. Your choice affects the fates of strangers.

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My family moved in a small house in Brighton, Colorado on my seventh birthday. My first memory is our neighbor Bill, an old man, handing me strawberries from his garden through a hole in the chain-link fence. "We need to make the hole bigger, "he said jokingly. Later I knew that he lived alone.
Bill spent much time working in the garden, and I was always talking to him from our yard. I was a chatterbox. I think what drew me to Bill is that he never got tired of listening to me. I also think Bill saw a lot of himself in me-we were both lonely and anxious-and that may be why he always took the time to listen to me. It was a wonderful connection.
There weren't any kids of my age in the neighborhood, and my parents were very busy, so I mostly played in the yard with my dog. I had a lot of imaginary friends-a whole family, actually, with a wife, children, a best friend. . . no joke. Strange kid.
One day, my parents asked Bill whether he'd watch me while they were away on business. This worked for everyone, so it became a somewhat monthly occurrence. Bill had a spare room in his house, which became "my" room.
Bill promised to teach me to drive the lawn tractor（割草机） someday and I was always looking forward to it. In winter, Bill would attach a snowplow（铲雪机） to the front of the lawn tractor. I seriously told him that I would invent a better snowplow when I grew up. "Sure you will. You'll get a patent certificate. It takes a certificate to prove an important thing. "Bill said with a smile.
One snowy morning, an idea suddenly hit me. My parents were watching TV when I spat it out（说出）, "What if I adopted Bill as my grandpa " My parents said I could go over and ask him.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I knocked on his door, sat down in his living room, and asked, "Can I adopt you as my grandpa "
The next morning, while learning to drive the lawn tractor with a snowplow, I accidentally plowed down our chain-link fence.·英语·
