A recent landing on the moon has awakened or renewed people’s enthusiasm for the stars and space exploration. Here are four trip ideas to inspire those would-be astronauts and astronomers.
Kennedy Space Center, America
The NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center is a must for ambitious astronauts and space-lovers. Hands-on experiences range from live presentations delivered by astronauts to the new Astronaut Training Experience Center. Children aged 10 to 17 can experience spacewalking and exploring Mars.
North York Moors, England
As an International Dark Sky Reserve in the world, this lovely part of Yorkshire, England is host to the UK's family-friendly National Parks Dark Skies festival. Well timed to the latter part of autumn half term in England, the festival includes bat-box making, evenings with winter birds and moonlit coastal walks.
Pic du Midi, France
There are few observatories where you can observe stars before retiring to a comfortable cabin and watch the sunrise. Getting to the Pic du Midi Observatory is also an adventure by itself, involving a ride on two cable-cars up to a 2, 877-meter-high mountain. The guided astronomy sessions help kids discover Saturn （土星） and its rings via powerful telescopes.
Mount Teide, Spain
Home to the largest solar observatory in the world, it sits on Spain's highest mountain. Ride the cable-car up for a scientist-led tour, which includes the chance to observe the Sun through hand-held solar telescopes. The special family tour includes an attractive 90-minute workshop exploring how observatory physicists carry out their research.

A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of "America's Top Young Scientist" for his groundbreaking creation-a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap （SCTS）.
Bekele's brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but also has the potential to reactivate the body's natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In Bekele's own words, "Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. "He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn't help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure.
"I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience, " Bekele expressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to aid him in reaching his ambitious plans.
During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into "a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.”
Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.

In the animal world, speed is king. Fast animals have a leg up in outrunning other animals, which puts them high on the food chain. It would seem that all animals would go for speed, but then there's the sloth（树懒）. While a lion can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only five seconds, it takes a sloth all day to cover no more than 50 meters.
Sloths live entirely in trees on a diet of leaves. And for this, they are extremely rare. While most of the land world is covered in trees, there are very few vertebrates （脊椎动物） that call the tree home. The aim of a 2016 study, says Jonathan Pauli, a University of Alabama professor of forest and wildlife ecology, was to help uncover why sloths are indeed so unique. "Among vertebrates, this is the rarest of lifestyles, says Pauli. "When you picture animals that live off plant leaves, they are almost all big-things like deer. What's super interesting about sloths is that they can't be big.
For their research, Pauli and his Wisconsin team studied wild sloths at a field site. When the researchers measured the energy use of sloths, they found a wildly low burning of as little as 110 calories of energy a day. And for this, they take the cake: it is the lowest measured energetic output for any mammal （哺乳动物）.
"The measurement was intended to find out what it cost sloths to live over a day, "says Pauli, who adds that a diet of little but leaves lacks nutritional value and the animal's small size doesn't allow for overeating-so sloths need to find ways to make the most of their diets, which means using tiny amounts of energy, dramatic control of body temperature and living at an extremely slow pace.
Their reward A wonderfully widespread ecological system to call their own, one slow inch at a time.
8. Why is a lion mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To admire lions' speed. B. To state sloths' weakness.
C. To confirm lions' lead position. D. To highlight sloths' uniqueness.
9. What is the 2016 study mainly about
A. The lifestyle of sloths. B. The diet of vertebrates.
C. The species of rare animals. D. The energy use of creatures.
10. What does the underlined part "take the cake" in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Break down. B. Keep on. C. Stand out. D. Grow up.
11. What can be inferred about sloths from Pauli's words
A. Their slow pace is a balanced choice.
B. They are in face of possible extinction.
C. Their slow pace decides a tiny appetite.
D. They suffer a lot against natural enemies.
D
From the day we're born, curiosity becomes a primary driving force that motivates us to explore unknown ideas and territories in search of answers and stimulations. Human beings have an inborn desire to close the "curiosity gap" every day.
A recent study found that curiosity can be a highly effective way to lead people to make smarter and healthier lifestyle choices. Evan Polman, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said, "Our research shows that fueling people's curiosity can influence their choices by turning them away from inviting desires, like unhealthy foods or taking the elevator, and toward less inviting but healthier options, such as buying more fresh produce or taking the stairs. "
To prove the positive potential of the curiosity gap, Polman and his team conducted a series of experiments designed to test how curiosity affected the choices people made positively. In each study, arousing curiosity resulted in noticeable behavior change. For example, in one of the experiments, Polman increased the number of participants who chose to watch a video of academic nature by promising that they would reveal the secret behind a magic trick at the end of the video.
The results of the field studies on curiosity were particularly convincing to Polman. In one field study, the researchers created a 10 percent increase in the use of stairs in a university building by posting trivial（琐事） questions near the elevators and posting the answers in the stairwell. In another, they increased the purchase of fresh produce by placing a joke on the posters describing the fruit or vegetable.
Polman was surprised by the degree that taking advantage of the curiosity gap could motivate people to automatically make healthier lifestyle choices. He concluded, "Our results suggest that using interventions based on curiosity gaps has the potential to increase participation in desired behaviors for which people often lack motivation. It also provides new evidence that curiosity-based interventions come at an incredibly small cost and could help push people toward a variety of positive actions. "
12. What did a recent study find about curiosity
A. It fuels people's desires. B. It lowers people's buying.
C. It benefits people's health. D. It determines people's lives.
13. What are those experiments by Polman's team aimed at
A. Supporting a finding. B. Raising a research topic.
C. Arousing scientists' interest. D. Displaying negative evidence.
14. What is Polman's attitude to the results of field studies
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Approving. D. Dismissive.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. How to stay curious B. The magic of curiosity
C. How to make health choices D. The two sides of curiosity gap

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。
At the beginning of this year, my daughter Helen spent a month in the hospital fighting for her life. Since then, she has had to deal with the disease as well as many side effects. She has met each challenge, disappointment and setback with courage.
With her 16th birthday approaching, Helen dreamt of a party and campfire at the beach with friends, relatives, and her beloved dog, Ginger. It took a while, but I finally found a good beach that allowed dogs and campfires and had easy access. However, a week before her party, Helen's disease worsened.
Our friend Ian called the night before the party and turned our plans upside down. The small beach we'd selected and the surrounding beaches would host a 30, 000-person event on the party night and would be closed. It was a disaster because we had researched no other nearby beach would work.
Helen had her heart set on having her dog and a campfire at the beach, but as usual, she didn't complain. In her young life, she's dealt with much worse things than a destroyed birthday party. She sat down and began to quietly cry. After a while Helen decided she'd rather have the party at our home so she could have her dog and a campfire. We called the invitees with the changed plans.
How to design a party at home with dogs and campfire was a challenge. It occurred to us that we could make full use of our yard. Ian's wife Jayme came first with some small signs, which read: "Welcome to Campbell Beach, where dogs and campfires are welcome. Where the beach is small and the waves are so far away, you must close your eyes to see them, but not so the love for Helen and her little dog. Happy Birthday, Helen!"
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
An hour later, Ian arrived with a loaded truck.
Helen and her friends couldn't wait to play on the sand.

One possible version:
An hour later; Ian arrived with a loaded truck. Hardly had Ian arrived when we began to unload from the truck, which was filled with plenty of sand, palm trees, beach toys, torches, and other necessities for the party. I was overwhelmed with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. We made an effort to set everything up in the yard, small signs hanging. Small as the beach was, Helen couldn't contain her joy and excitement. With all the things arranged well, the guests arrived.
Children could not wait to play on the sand. Not only did they build their sand castles, but they also lit torches and enjoyed the company of the campfire. With the dog barking happily, the children heartily laughed and played on the "beach" around the campfire. When the birthday cake was ready, all the friends sang songs together to express their blessings to Helen. The birthday girl was in high spirits. It was the "beach" built with so much love that made her blessed with an unforgettable birthday.
