Kelydra Welcker has always loved the Ohio River, which flows by her hometown , Parkersburg.With a father who is a chemist and a mother who is a biologist , it seemed natural for Kelydra to learn how the world worked by doing scientific experiments.
At the age of six, Kelydra joined the Ohio River Cleanup campaign and came to realize how polluted the river was, which led her to set up her own lab later and study the chemicals in the river water.Kelydra was 15 when news broke about a chemical called C8, also known as APFO, in her town's water supply that might cause cancer.She wondered what she could do to help.
Through repeated experiments,Kelydracreated an inexpensive, reliable test for people in her town to measure the amount of APFO in water that they use at home. However, she didn't just want to measure the problem--she wanted to solve it, so she continued to work on a way to remove APFO from the water.
Kelydra finally succeeded by using a device called an electrolytic cell(电解池)，consisting of a dry cell battery and two electrodes(电极). Where did Kelydra get the high-quality electrodes for her experiment They were her dad's car wipers-minus the rubber attachments! Electrically charged, one of the electrodes became a stick that attracted the APFO in the polluted water. Then,Kelydra removed the stick and washed it off.
Using her invention, Kelydra developed a system people could use to treat their household drinking water. The system is being used by people in her community, and she hopes that it will be used more widely.
Kelydra went to college to study chemistry. “I hope to expand my horizons. I'm now looking at another chemical that may cause health problems."She adds,“Technology helped create our problems and technology can help solve them. I want to be part of that effort. ”
24.What can we learn about Kelydra from the first two paragraphs
A.She had a scientific mind. B. She enjoyed exploring nature.
C. She followed her parents' path. D.She wanted to practice medicine.
25. Which of the following best describes Kelydra after creating a water test
A. Content. B. Determined. C.Grateful. D. Relieved.
26. What is the author's purpose in mentioning car wipers
A.To show the practical challenge. B.To question Kelydra's invention.
C.To illustrate Kelydra's creativity. D. To explain the chemical principles.
27. What does Kelydra expect to do in the future
A. Teach chemistry in school. B. Create new water treatments.
C.promote the application of chemicals D. Address health issues through technology

Some ants have figured out how to avoid getting lost: build taller anthills, according to a recent study.
Desert ants living in the hot, flat salt pans of Tunisia spend their days looking for food and reach as far as 1.1 kilometers from their nests. To find their way home, desert ants use a navigation system, relying on the sun's position and counting their steps to track their location relative to their nest.
But this system becomes increasingly unreliable as the distance from the nest increases. “We realized that, whenever the ants in salt pans came closer to their nest, they suddenly pinpointed the nest hill from several meters distance,"says Markus Knaden, a researcher atMax Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology.“This made us think that the hill serves as a nest-defining landmark.”
So Knaden and colleagues captured ants from nests in the middle of salt pans and from along their shorelines. Only salt-pan nests had distinct hills, up to 40 centimeters tall, whereas the hills on shoreline nests were lower or barely noticeable. Next, the team removed any hills and placed the captured insects some distance away from their nests. Salt-pan ants struggled more than shore ants to find homes. Shore ants relied on the shoreline for guidance and weren't affected by the hill removal, the researchers concluded.
The team further conducted another study to see if desert ants were deliberately building a taller hill when their surroundings lacked any visible landmarks. So, the researchers removed the hills of 16 salt-pan nests and installed(安装)two 50-centimeter-tall blocks near eight of them. The other eight nests were left without any artificial visual aid. After three days, the researchers found that seven ants from the unaided nests had rebuilt their hills. But only two ants from the nests with man-made blocks nearby had bothered to rebuild.
"It implies that ants regularly assess the complexity of their environment and change their decisions based on their conclusion,” says ecologist Judith Bronstein of the University of Arizona.
28. What aspect of ants is the recent study mainly about
A.Challenges of survival. B. Landmarks of habitats.
C.Intelligence of navigation. D. Comparison of varieties.
29. What does the underlined word“pinpointed”in paragraph 2 mean
A. Explored. B.Recognized. C.Climbed. D.Crossed.
30.Why did researchers set shoreline ants in the experiment
A. To observe different ants'reactions. B.To prove impacts of various habitats.
C. To disturb desert ants'navigation system. D. To test anthills'functions and significance.
31.What conclusion about desert ants can be drawn from the follow-up study
A. Evaluate and make changes. B. Visual aid is a must.
C.Cooperation brings victory. D.No man-made blocks are used.
D
Intelligence is traditionally viewed as the ability to think and learn. Yet in a complex world, there's another set of cognitive(认知的)skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink. Therefore,my aim in this book is to explore how rethinking happens by seeking out the most convincing evidence and some of the world's most skilled rethinkers.
The first section focuses on opening our own minds. You'll find out why a forward-thinking businessman got trapped in the past, how a Nobel Prize-winning scientist welcomes the joy of being wrong, how the world's best forecasters update their views, and how an Oscar-winning filmmaker has productive fights.
The second section examines how we can encourage other people to think again. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments and an African-American musician persuades people to abandon discrimination (歧视).You'll discover how a special kind of listening helped an officer convince the opposing side to join in peace talks. And if you're a Yankees fan, I'm going to see if I can convince you to root for the Red Sox.
The third section is about how we can create communities of lifelong learners. In social life, a lab that specializes in difficult conversations will cast light on how we can communicate better about debated issues like climate change. In schools, you'll find out how educators teach kids to think again by treating classrooms like museums , and approaching projects like rewriting time-honored textbooks. I close by examining the importance of reconsidering our best-laid plans.
This book is an invitation to let go of knowledge and opinions that are no longer serving you well, and to establish your sense of self in flexibility rather than consistency. If you can master the art of rethinking, I believe you'll be better positioned for success at work and happiness in life. Thinking again can help you generate new solutions to old problems and revisit old solutions to new problems. It's a path to learning more from the people around you and living with fewer regrets.
32.How does the author explain his or her ideas in the book
A. By quoting famous sayings. B.By reviewing traditional theories.
C.By presenting research results. D.By providing various examples.
33.Which of the following is probably covered in the second section
A. Helping a student with a complex math problem.
B. Walking an athlete through a detailed training plan.
C. Talking a friend into trying a different dressing style.
D.Guiding an employee to build a successful career path.
34.What does the author suggest readers do in the third section
A. Find faults in textbooks. B. Reflect on existing ideas.
C.Engage in climate debates. D.Change classroom decorations.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rethinking: Find New Ways to Success
B.Intelligence: the Ability to Think and Learn
C.How Can We Adapt to a Complex World
D.Why Does Rethinking Improve Intelligence

Do you think you need to shout at yourself to force yourself to finish your homework If so,think again. 36 Research shows that practicing self-compassion improves our mental and physical well-being and supports long-term success.
Self-compassion is the practice of being kind and supportive to ourselves. The opposite is being self-critical and mean to ourselves when we make a mistake. 37 These negative responses are related to depression , stress and reduced quality of life.
A 2017 study found people who practice self-compassion tend to handle stress better. Their bodies have less of a stress response when, for example, they meet with difficulties at work or school.38 Let's say they do poorly on a geometry test. Self-compassion helps them use the experience to make changes going forward, like seeking out a math tutor.
39 We can start with mindfulness. First of all,practice observing our thoughts--are they understanding or critical Don't judge ourselves too severely then. Rather than getting caught up in how we could have done better,forgive ourselves and think about what to change while remaining respectful, and loving to ourselves. 40 We can read a novel , play a musical instrument or kick around a soccer ball with friends.
With practice, we can learn to treat ourselves with kindness and unconditional love-not tough love.
A.So how do we develop self-compassion
B. It may be more effective to be kind to yourself.
C.It includes letting go of your strict self-criticism.
D.Mindfulness is the key to practicing self-compassion.
E.But this approach does not make us feel or perform better.
F.They have more confidence to look for areas where they can improve.
G.Also,show ourselves kindness in ways that nourish our spirit and body.

第二节(满分25分)
My first year of senior high school felt awkward. The school was twice as big as my old school, and to make matters worse, my closest friends went to a different high school.I felt very lonely.
One cold and windy Sunday afternoon, I was sitting at home at our dining room table doing homework, with a fire going in our fireplace.As usual, my cat was lying on top of my papers,purring(发出呼噜声) loudly. She was never far from me. I had rescued her when she was a kitten and put my name on her collar in case she got lost again.Suddenly , I smelled something strange , and then I noticed that smoke was pouring in. It filled the room so quickly that we all ran out into the front yard. By the time we made our way outside, the whole roof was in flames and the fire was spreading quickly.
When the fire was finally out, our house was almost completely burned down. I was in a bad mood and then it struck me...I hadn't seen my cat. Where was my cat Much to my horror, I realized that my cat was gone and my heart ached for her. Then all at once it hit me-the new school, the fire, my cat--I broke down in tears and cried and cried.
The next day, I went to school. But I was totally embarrassed by everything. My clothes and shoes were borrowed from my aunt. I had no books or homework , and my backpack was gone. I had my life in that backpack! I didn't want to grow up if it was going to be this way. I just wanted to curl up and quit school.
It always seems that bad news spreads quickly. Everyone in high school, including the teachers, was aware of my sad situation.What a way to start off at a new school! This was not the kind of attention I was looking for.
The next day at school, people were acting even stranger than usual. They kept asking me to hurry up to the gym. I thought it was strange, but when I went into the gym, I knew why.

作文
[参考范文] Dear Jack,
I am Li Hua, a member of the English club. I am writing to give some advice on the weekly activity held by our English club.
For now, the only activity every week is watching an English movie, which is beneficial for students to practice their listening and learn about foreign cultures. However, it is not an effective way for students to improve their oral English. Therefore, I suggest that we add an English Forum after watching movies,where students can express their feelings and opinions freely about the plots, or the characters from the movie.
Hopefully, my advice can be taken into consideration and the club members can have a better time joining our club.
Yours,
Li Hua

故事文本分析
1.故事大意:主人公在刚上高中时,不适应新学校的陌生环境,而且因为和好朋友不在一所学校,主人公感至孤独和局促。而且,一场火灾还让主人公失去了心爱的宠物猫。这一系列的挫折让主人公在成长过程中面对了巨大的挑战。后来,窘迫的主人公来到学校,发现大家都得知了自己的情况,而且大家突然变得很奇怪,不停催促主人公去体育馆。
2.故事主题:同学之间要互帮互助;要积极面对困境
3.续写悬念:体育馆的桌子上都有什么东西 大家和主人公说了什么,又做了什么 主人公的内心会发生怎样的变化 门铃响起,接下来又会发生什么事情
写作思路点拨
思路:根据续写第一段开头语“那里有一张大桌子,上面放着各种各样的东西。”可知,接下来可进一步描写堆在桌子上的各种物品是什么,如学习用品、衣物等生活必需品。这个场景可以用来展示大家对主人公的关爱,考生可以描写主人公在此过程中是否会打开心结。根据续写第二段开头语“一周后,我正在设计我的新卧室时,门铃响了。”可知,接下来可描写让主人公感到意外的事件以及主人公内心的情感变化。
2.点拨:续写的语言风格要尽可能与材料保持一致。考生应尽可能使用自己熟悉的词语和句型进行写作,还要注意丰富句子的表达形式,注重对人物心理的描写,适当使用一些高级句式和高级词汇,以增强文章的可读性，提高文章的得分档次。[参考范文]
There was a big table with all kinds of stuff on it. It was like Christmas. They had taken up a collection and bought me school supplies, notebooks, all kinds of different clothes, tops , sweatsuits ,etc. I was overcome by emotion. People who had never spoken to me before were coming up to me to introduce themselves. I got all kinds of invitations to their houses. Their genuine outpouring of concern really touched me. In that instant, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought for the first time that things were going to be okay. I made so many friends that day and I decided to move on and look on the bright side of life.
A week later, I was planning my new bedroom when the doorbell rang. “ Does this cat belong to you ” asked a woman at the door. I couldn't believe my eyes. She was holding my cat! I leaped up and grabbed her out of the woman's arms. I held her close to me and she purred happily. Apparently, my cat had been so freaked by the fire that she ran away. This wonderful woman took her in and worked hard to find out whose cat it was. As I sat there with my cat curling up in my lap, all the overwhelming feelings of loss and tragedy seemed to diminish. I felt gratitude for my life, my new friends,and the kindness of a stranger. My cat was back and so was I.
