At 19,determined not to spend my gap year stuck at home,I took off with a friend and we traveled around Europe for months.We stayed in the cheapest accommodation and lived on
bread and cheese.
This was 1990,a time before mobile phones and the Internet,when the primary contact with home was mails from the post office.Before l left,Mom had made me a money bag and a
sleeping sheet to avoid unclean bedding.She didn't want me to go,and these gifts were her way of telling me to have a wonderful time.
It's only now,as my 18-year-old daughter is preparing to leave on her own gap year trip, that I understand how Mom felt.
While working multiple jobs and saving money,my daughter has also researched where to
stay,how to get around and what to do before setting off.She rarely asks for my opinion and I am unsure whether I should wade in(介人)or back off.I want to be supportive but not too
involved.I want to be cool but not aloof (漠不关心的).I want to be like the perfect travel guide.
After all,when she first mentioned gap year travel,I was encouraging,wanting her to have
her own experiences that shape her.Though I'm not quite ready,this trip is about her.This is not 1990 and I am not stuck at home waiting for a letter.Therefore,I haven't concentrated too long on the idea of her not being here.I have promised not to bother her with messages,but at least I know she can contact me when she wants to.
24.What do we know about the author's travel in 1990
A.She traveled around Europe alone. B.She probably contacted
home by letter.
C.She worked multiple jobs while traveling. D.She booked her accommodations online. 25.What bothered the author about her daughter's upcoming trip

26.What did the author finally decide to do

daughter's trip
C.Contact her daughter as often as possible. D.Stay connected but not disturb too much. 27.What's the author's purpose of writing the text

C.To compare different gap year travel experiences.
D.To share mixed feelings about her daughter's trip.

If there's such a person as a young STEM icon,Gitanjali Rao is the one.
In April 2014,the city of Flint disconnected from Detroit's water line as a cost-cutting
measure and began to draw water from the Flint River.Soon after,shockingly high levels of lead (铅)were found in the city's water supply.Residents including children were showing up with
mysterious rashes and other illnesses.
When she learned about the crisis,Gitanjali decided to do something.“I was shocked and l wanted to do something to change this,"she said.Inspiration really struck her after she watched her engineer parents test for lead in the tap water.She decided to build a lead-detecting device that would be easy and affordable for anyone to use.In 2017,she developed a device called
Tethys.It won her the title “America's Top Young Scientist”in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. Meanwhile,Rao had been working on solutions to other issues she cared about.She started
developing Epione,a device that tests protein in body fluid samples to detect opioid (阿片类药物) use disorder,in 2018.
“Many people need opioids and end up with serious addictions,"she said.“Physicians don't have any easy tools to detect opioid addiction at an early stage.”
Additionally,Rao launched an Al-based,anti-cyberbullying app called Kindly in May 2020. “You type in a sentence,and it's able to pick a word or phrase out if it's bullying,and it gives you the option to edit it,"said Rao.“Asa teenager,I know teenagers tend to lash out sometimes,
though unintentionally.The app gives you the chance to stop and think about your words before you hit‘Send'."
28.Why did Flint stop drawing water from Detroit
A.Flint wanted to save some money.
B.Flint aimed to develop its local economy.
C.The residents worried about water safety.
D.The public forced Flint to change its water supply.
29.What made Gitanjali want to do something for Flint's water crisis
A.Her STEM course's requirement. B.Her wish to inspire others. C.Her pity for Flint's residents. D.Her determination to help her parents.
30.Which of the following best explains "lashout"in Paragraph 5
A.To adopt new ideas. B.To make verbal attack.
C.To exchange opinions. D.To showoff their abilities.
31.How would you describe Gitanjali
A.Smart and caring. B.Innovative and gentle.
C.Creative and honest. D.Helpful and grateful.
D
After nearly 70 years of space exploration,Earth is now surrounded by space junk.Recently , an accident made the cleanup more difficult to start.
According to the European Space Agency(ESA),scientists plan on testing their “junk truck”, ClearSpace-1,in 2025.It's a spacecraft with four arms that can catch debris(碎片)and bring it back to Earth.They have chosen to bring back VESPA,a 113-kilogram,two-meter-wide rocket part.However,in August,it was hit by another piece of space junk,creating new pieces.The ESA is now revising its cleanup plan.
Most satellites today are sent into Earth's low orbit,which reaches up to around 2,000
kilometers above the Earth.There,spacecraft are most likely to crash with each other.There may be as many as 170 million pieces of space junk in orbit.Big or small,any of the pieces can cause harm to a spacecraft.
In terms of the cleanup,scientists have some other ideas.One popular plan is to equip a spacecraft with harpoons(叉)and magnets(磁铁).The craft would shoot the harpoon to stick into the debris before “throwing”it back to Earth.Magnets could move the debris,changing its
direction.The debris would burn after entering Earth's atmosphere so there wouldn't be much left when it reaches Earth.Scientists are also considering shooting lasers(激光)from spacecraft to heat up the debris'surface,creating a small push that would change the debris'orbit.This change would allow the debris to be caught by Earth's gravity.
Space junk can be very dangerous,and space agencies around the world are testing and planning the cleanup.But why haven't they done anything yet One reason is the expense.
It would take between S4,000 and $60,000 per kilogram to catch one piece of debris larger than 10 cm.And around $300 million is needed to develop the laser technology.
32.What's the mission of ClearSpace-1
A.To mark Earth's low orbit. B.To monitor space debris.
C.To study the harm of space junk. D.To bring VESPA back to
Earth.
33.How do lasers work in cleaning up space debris
A.By burning it up in space. B.By pushing it into deeper space.
C.By moving it towards a spacecraft. D.By redirecting it into the
atmosphere.
34.What's a disadvantage of the cleanup according to the last two paragraphs
A.It's complex. B.It's risky. C.It's costly. D.It's changeable.
35.What might be a suitable title
A.Escaping from Crowded Space B.Looking for Ways to Clean up Space
C.Dangerous Space Debris D.Exceptional Space Exploration

项为多余选项。
Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence,and you think you'll never be a top student. 36 .We'll walk through some of the best study techniques here.
Study new material within 24 hours
37 ..If not,the information will be pushed to the back burner of your mind.And your brain will generally throw it away rather than storing it into your long term memory.So make a habit of taking notes in class and then revising the material within 24 Hours.
Rewrite the material in your own words
If you're required to read large bodies of text,make sure to pause at the end of a paragraph or a section and—without looking!-think about what the text just stated.Summarize it in your own words.Now glance back over the material to check if it's correct..38 .
Test yourself with flashcards
While testing yourself,separate your flashcards into two piles.In Pile 1,place the cards you knew correctly;in Pile 2,place the ones you didn't know.Now only study cards in Pile 2. 39 Repeat the process until all the cards are in Pile 1.Finally reexamine the whole pile again to make
sure you've memorized the information on all the cards.
40
Teaching others is a great way to consolidate(巩固)what you've learned.Find a study partner ,
or even just a stuffed animal,and explain the material to them.The act of teaching requires you to re-frame the information and explain it clearly,which helps you keep it in your mind more
easily.
A.Instruct someone else
B.Teach the material to yourself
C.Then go through them and place them into two piles again
D.So,copying all bodies of text is an effective study technique
E.However,you can receive better grades by improving your ways to study
F.Set aside some time to review any new information you learn on the same day
G.By rephrasing the text,you can be sure you're actually understanding its meaning
