Hem an Bekele is not your typical high school student．Rather than spending his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14 year-old from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it．His work won him the grand prize in this year’s 3M Young Scientist’s Challenge, a competition that encourages kids to think of unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia, Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer．Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases．However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000．Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution．He started doing experiments and working on different things, and that turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development started in his family’s kitchen and in his basement．But as he reached the final of the competition, he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house．So he reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and he got a lot of assistance．The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize and structure his ideas during the finalist competition．Bekele said that he definitely couldn’t have done that all by himself.
Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer fighting chemicals．The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant（去角质剂）．It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier．The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin．It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.
Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research．He said, “I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research, so this money will definitely help me achieve it.”
24. Why did Heman Bekele start working on creating the soap
A. Because he thought it was a fun project.
B. Because he wanted to win a science competition.
C. Because he found skin cancer treatment unaffordable.
D. Because he wanted to create a unique soap for everyone.
25. What can we learn from Bekele’s preparations for the final

C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
26. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about

C. What chemicals the soap contains. D. How the soap is produced.

Fashion designers have a big say in what’s considered beautiful. They pick who’s in their shows and ads, shaping what’s celebrated as beauty. But this power also means responsibility — it can be used to leave people out or lift them up.
When I was young, fashion was my world. I pored over various fashion magazines at my local bookstore, desiring to be tall, thin, and have long, shiny hair to fit the ideal. I wanted to be like those models, so I stopped eating. It was a tough time; my eating disorder consumed me. It took years to break free from its control, allowing me to focus on my true passions.
For so long, the fashion industry has worked hard to set an ideal of beauty that celebrates thin, young, white, and able-bodied models as the ideal. It’s impossible not to be exposed to images of models that have been photoshopped to where there’s not a single spot in sight. This idea is everywhere, and it hurts people. Shockingly, around 91% of women are unhappy with their appearance. It’s sad that teens grow up in a society where they deny themselves.
There’s progress — models and musicians promote body positivity. However, the pressure to meet unrealistic standards remains. Changing these standards involves bravely celebrating diverse beauty. True inclusivity goes beyond appearances. It requires diverse decision-makers, photographers, and casting directors cooperating. Young designers often overlook this crucial aspect. Hiring plus-size or transgender photographers, diverse casting directors, or makeup artists who understand the importance of accommodating to various skin tones, is vital for an overall approach.
We aimed to redefine the “bikini body” standards. However, the goal isn’t for the consumer’s body to change but for clothes to accommodate all sizes. We need more fashion for everyone, no matter their size or where they shop. It’s our responsibility as designers to challenge this narrow beauty definition. My hope is for future teens to escape the pressures I faced, developing a fashion industry celebrating diverse identities.
28. What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Classified carefully. B. Read attentively.
C. Compared thoroughly. D. Recommended sincerely.
29. What is the impact of the initial beauty ideals set by the fashion industry
A Causing self-denial. B. Generating individuality.
C. Focusing on true passions. D. Contributing to self-confidence.
30. What can be inferred about true inclusivity
A. It encourages personal effort. B. It satisfies traditional standards.
C. It focuses on physical appearances. D. It calls for diversity and cooperation.
31. Which of the following will the author probably agree with
A. Customers will change their body shapes.
B. Future teens will redefine fashion standards.
C. Fashion should celebrate everyone’s uniqueness.
D. “Bikini body” standards should be strengthened.
D
Power often boosts an employee’s creativity because being powerful liberates the individual from restrictions. However, new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.
“This is important because when people with more power are able to express their creative ideas more than those with less power, which leads to a rich-get-richer dynamic that strengthens these power imbalances,” said Brian Lucas, assistant professor in the Cornell University. “Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage,” Lucas said.
Lucas and his colleagues conducted two studies to reach their conclusion．In the first study, they divided the creative idea generation session into two rounds consisting of a one-minute “warm up” followed by a second round in which the participants could take as long as they wanted．Participants were randomly assigned to a high-power condition or a low-power condition, and feelings of power were generated with a role manipulation (操纵) where participants were given a leadership role and control over resources (high power) or an employee role with no control over resources (low power). The study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the warm-up round．There was no difference, though, in creativity in the second round.
In the second study, the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five, taking as long as they like to complete the task. Similar to the first study, the study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the first round．But the creativity of low-power individuals caught up to the creativity of the high-power individuals after the first round.
“The low-power warm-up effect suggests a simple intervention that empowers all employees to tap their creative potential and overcomes power imbalances in the workplace: when pursuing creative work, let employees warm up first,” Lucas said.
32 Why does Locus think it important to boost the creativity of lower power workers
A. It maintains power imbalances.
B. It motivates their ambition to catch up.
C. It creates a competitive work environment.
D. It encourages a workplace with more equality.
33. How did Lucas and his co-authors stimulate feelings of power in the participants
A. Through a creative task with time limits.
B. Through providing them with different positions.
C. Through a competition between leaders and employees.
D. Through assigning them to different conditions intentionally.
34. How did the second study differ from the first study
A. It had fewer rounds. B. It involved more participants.
C. Participants had a changed task. D. Participants’ creativity gap became wider.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Power tends to encourage creative ideas.
B. Changing tasks boosts all the employees’ creativity.
C Warm-up time corrects creativity power imbalances.
D. Low-power individuals outperform the high-power ones.

67. 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。
In a very cold January a puppy wandered around Mr. Lacey’s house, where he lived with his wife Mamie and their daughter Doris. Icicles (冰锥) hung three feet or more from the roofs of houses and snow swallowed up cars.
The puppy had been abandoned, and it made its way down the road toward the Laceys’ small house, with its ears down and trembling from shyness and cold. Doris, whose school had been called off because of the snow, was clearing the steps when she spotted the puppy on the road.
“Come on, little dog!” she called it over. The puppy shyly wagged its tail when Doris approached. As soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen, her mom, Mrs. Lacey, asked where the dog came from. Mr. Lacey, who was cleaning his fingernails with his pocketknife at the table, said, “I don’t know where it came from, but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the puppy hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snowy weather, Mr. Lacey couldn’t take the puppy to the shelter right away. So, it stayed in the basement, and Doris fed it leftovers, even though her mom didn’t want to waste food. Doris thought the puppy was around six months old and would be quite noisy sometimes. Surprisingly, the puppy behaved well, didn’t cry or make trouble in the basement, and only followed Doris upstairs when she invited it. Doris often found it on the basement steps listening to the kitchen talk and smelling the food. She felt the puppy wanted company.
Even after a week, Doris didn’t name the dog, knowing her parents wouldn’t let her keep it. Her father made so little money that any pets were out of the question. Desperate to keep the dog, Doris tried to convince her parents by praising the dog’s good behavior and expressing her love for it, but her parents didn’t give a definite answer.
Despite her efforts, Doris secretly wished the bad weather would never go away, fearing the puppy’s unavoidable trip to the shelter. However, nine days after the dog had arrived, the sun was shining.
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。
Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog and felt rather worried.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Doris put her hand to her mouth and couldn’t believe what she had heard.

Fashion designers have a big say in what’s considered beautiful. They pick who’s in their shows and ads, shaping what’s celebrated as beauty. But this power also means responsibility — it can be used to leave people out or lift them up.
When I was young fashion was my world. I pored over various fashion magazines at my local bookstore, desiring to be tall, thin, and have long, shiny hair to fit the ideal. I wanted to be like those models, so I stopped eating. It was a tough time; my eating disorder consumed me. It took years to break free from its control, allowing me to focus on my true passions.
For so long, the fashion industry has worked hard to set an ideal of beauty that celebrates thin, young, white, and able-bodied models as the ideal. It’s impossible not to be exposed to images of models that have been photoshopped to where there’s not a single spot in sight. This idea is everywhere, and it hurts people. Shockingly, around 91% of women are unhappy with their appearance. It’s sad that teens grow up in a society where they deny themselves.
There’s progress — models and musicians promote body positivity. However, the pressure to meet unrealistic standards remains. Changing these standards involves bravely celebrating diverse beauty. True inclusivity goes beyond appearances. It requires diverse decision-makers, photographers, and casting directors cooperating. Young designers often overlook this crucial aspect. Hiring plus-size or transgender photographers, diverse casting directors, or makeup artists who understand the importance of accommodating to various skin tones, is vital for an overall approach.
We aimed to redefine the “bikini body” standards. However, the goal isn’t for the consumer’s body to change but for clothes to accommodate all sizes. We need more fashion for everyone, no matter their size or where they shop. It’s our responsibility as designers to challenge this narrow beauty definition. My hope is for future teens to escape the pressures I faced, developing a fashion industry celebrating diverse identities.
28. What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Classified carefully. B. Read attentively.
C. Compared thoroughly. D. Recommended sincerely.
29. What is the impact of the initial beauty ideals set by the fashion industry
A. Causing self-denial. B. Generating individuality.

30. What can be inferred about true inclusivity
A. It encourages personal effort. B. It satisfies traditional standards.
C. It focuses on physical appearances. D. It calls for diversity and cooperation.
31 Which of the following will the author probably agree with

词义猜测题。根据上一句“When I was young, fashion was my world.”（当我年轻的时候，时尚就是我的世界。）和划线词所在句“I pored over various fashion magazines at my local bookstore,”（我在当地的书店里pored over各种时尚杂志，）可知，作者对时尚非常着迷，所以在书店应该是仔细阅读了各类时尚杂志，了解关于时尚的信息，“pored over”应该表示“仔细阅读”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This idea is everywhere, and it hurts people. Shockingly, around 91% of women are unhappy with their appearance. It’s sad that teens grow up in a society where they deny themselves.”（这种想法无处不在，它伤害了人们。令人震惊的是，约91%的女性对自己的外表不满意。可悲的是，青少年成长在一个他们否定自己的社会中。）可知，时尚界设立的美的标准致使多数女性不满意自己的容貌，从而否定自己。故选 A。

Power often boosts an employee’s creativity because being powerful liberates the individual from restrictions. However, new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.
“This is important because when people with more power are able to express their creative ideas more than those with less power, which leads to a rich-get-richer dynamic that strengthens these power imbalances,” said Brian Lucas, assistant professor in the Cornell University. “Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage,” Lucas said.
Lucas and his colleagues conducted two studies to reach their conclusion．In the first study, they divided the creative idea generation session into two rounds consisting of a one-minute “warm up” followed by a second round in which the participants could take as long as they wanted．Participants were randomly assigned to a high-power condition or a low-power condition, and feelings of power were generated with a role manipulation (操纵) where participants were given a leadership role and control over resources (high power) or an employee role with no control over resources (low power). The study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the warm-up round．There was no difference, though, in creativity in the second round.
In the second study, the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five, taking as long as they like to complete the task. Similar to the first study, the study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the first round．But the creativity of low-power individuals caught up to the creativity of the high-power individuals after the first round.
“The low-power warm-up effect suggests a simple intervention that empowers all employees to tap their creative potential and overcomes power imbalances in the workplace: when pursuing creative work, let employees warm up first,” Lucas said.
32. Why does Locus think it important to boost the creativity of lower power workers
A. It maintains power imbalances.
B. It motivates their ambition to catch up.
C. It creates a competitive work environment.
D. It encourages a workplace with more equality.
33. How did Lucas and his co-authors stimulate feelings of power in the participants
A. Through a creative task with time limits.
B. Through providing them with different positions.
C. Through a competition between leaders and employees.
D. Through assigning them to different conditions intentionally.
34. How did the second study differ from the first study
A. It had fewer rounds. B. It involved more participants.
C. Participants had a changed task. D. Participants’ creativity gap became wider.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Power tends to encourage creative ideas.
B. Changing tasks boosts all the employees’ creativity.
C. Warm-up time corrects creativity power imbalances.
D. Low-power individuals outperform the high-power ones.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，给予热身时间后，职位低的员工的创造力可以得到提升。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage,” Lucas said. (卢卡斯说：“了解如何提高低权力员工的创造力，可以帮助他们找到正确的方法来应对这种低权力的劣势。”)”可知，了解如何促进职位较低员工的创造力，能够帮助他们找到正确的方法来应对职位低的劣势，让他们产生更多创造性想法，从而促进工作场所更加公平公正。故选 D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Participants were randomly assigned to a high-power condition or a low-power condition, and feelings of power were generated with a role manipulation (操纵) where participants were given a leadership role and control over resources (high power) or an employee role with no control over resources (low power)(参与者被随机分配到高权力情境或低权力情境，并通过角色操纵产生权力感，参与者被赋予领导角色和控制资源的角色(高权力)或没有控制资源的员工角色(低权力)。)”可知，参与者的权力感是通过给予参与者不同的角色（leadership 或 employee role）来产生的。故选 B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the second study, the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five, taking as long as they like to complete the task(在第二项研究中，研究人员给了他们一项不同的创造性任务，并将回合数从两回合增加到五回合，只要他们愿意，就可以完成任务。)”可知，第二项研究中，任务发生了改变。故选 C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.(然而，新的研究表明，没有权力的员工如果有时间通过多次参与创造性任务来“热身”，他们会变得更有创造力。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍研究发现，一般情况下，职位高的员工比职位低的员工更具有创造力，但是热身环节可以激发职位低的员工的创造力，从而创造一个更加公平的工作环境, 所以选择项C“Warm-up time corrects creativity power imbalances. (热身能够纠正创造能力的不均衡。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

【导语】本文为说明文。主要说明了当代社会，很多人都出现了睡眠质量问题，本文提出了几条建议，以帮助读者提高睡眠质量。
【36题详解】
根据上文“With everything going on in the world, it’s no wonder so many of us are struggling to sleep.(随着世界上发生的一切，难怪我们中的许多人都在努力入睡)”描述了现代社会普遍存在睡眠质量问题，后文“And it’s hard to fall back asleep again.(而且很难再次入睡)”描述很难再次入睡，可知本句主要说明夜晚入睡的问题，故E选项“随着年龄增长，半夜醒来很正常”，在此处能起到承上启下的作用。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“The National Sleep Foundation suggests replacing your pillow every one to two years.(美国国家睡眠基金会建议每一到两年更换一次枕头)”提到需要每 1-2 年更换枕头，下文““When your brain is sending pain signals, it can’t send sleep signals,” says Dr Michael J Breus, a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist.(“当你的大脑发出疼痛信号时，它不能发出睡眠信号，”临床心理学家和睡眠专家Michael J Breus博士说)”继续谈论疼痛带来的影响。F 选项中的代词 “one”指代上文的 pillow，进一步解释原因：用过很久的枕头可能导致颈部疼痛和失眠。故选F。
【38题详解】

【40题详解】
根据后文“If you need to air complaints to your family, don’t wait until night. Tough discussions are less likely to disturb your sound sleep if you initiate them earlier. Arguments can activate your sympathetic nervous system, which disturbs sleep. Some research even suggests that going to bed angry may make you bad-tempered the next morning.(如果你需要向你的家人抱怨，不要等到晚上。如果你早点开始，艰难的讨论就不太可能打扰你的睡眠。争吵会激活你的交感神经系统，从而扰乱睡眠。一些研究甚至表明，带着怒气上床睡觉可能会让你第二天早上脾气暴躁)”可知，如果需要向家人抱怨，不要拖到晚上。睡前的争论对睡眠有影响，甚至影响第二天的心情。故B选项“本段的建议应该是在晚饭前处理好麻烦”符合语境。故选B。

第二节（满分25分）
67. 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。
In a very cold January, a puppy wandered around Mr. Lacey’s house, where he lived with his wife Mamie and their daughter Doris. Icicles (冰锥) hung three feet or more from the roofs of houses and snow swallowed up cars.
The puppy had been abandoned, and it made its way down the road toward the Laceys’ small house, with its ears down and trembling from shyness and cold. Doris, whose school had been called off because of the snow, was clearing the steps when she spotted the puppy on the road.
“Come on, little dog!” she called it over. The puppy shyly wagged its tail when Doris approached. As soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen, her mom, Mrs. Lacey, asked where the dog came from. Mr. Lacey, who was cleaning his fingernails with his pocketknife at the table, said, “I don’t know where it came from, but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the puppy hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snowy weather, Mr. Lacey couldn’t take the puppy to the shelter right away. So, it stayed in the basement, and Doris fed it leftovers, even though her mom didn’t want to waste food. Doris thought the puppy was around six months old and would be quite noisy sometimes. Surprisingly, the puppy behaved well, didn’t cry or make trouble in the basement, and only followed Doris upstairs when she invited it. Doris often found it on the basement steps listening to the kitchen talk and smelling the food. She felt the puppy wanted company.
Even after a week, Doris didn’t name the dog, knowing her parents wouldn’t let her keep it. Her father made so little money that any pets were out of the question. Desperate to keep the dog, Doris tried to convince her parents by praising the dog’s good behavior and expressing her love for it, but her parents didn’t give a definite answer.
Despite her efforts, Doris secretly wished the bad weather would never go away, fearing the puppy’s unavoidable trip to the shelter. However, nine days after the dog had arrived, the sun was shining.

【答案】One possible version:
Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog and felt rather worried. She was sitting alone in the living room, hugging a pillow and rocking back and forth on the edge of a chair. She was trying not to cry but she was not strong enough. Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of sadness. Just as Doris was at her lowest, her parents appeared from the doorway. With a smile on Mrs. Lacey’s face, she said, “Honey, Papa and I have agreed to keep the puppy as a part of our family.”
Doris put her hand to her mouth and couldn’t believe what she had heard. She looked at her parents surprisedly. “Doris, you were right. He has brought so much happiness to us,” Mr. Lacey continued, “and I drove by the local animal shelter yesterday. The conditions there are quite poor. We can’t leave him there.” Doris smiled with tears of happiness in her eyes and threw her arms around her parents. She knew they not only embraced the puppy into their family but also gave him a chance at a much happier life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了一个寒冷的一月，雪下地非常大，一只被遗弃的小狗来到Lacey一家的门口，被小女孩Doris发现并收留进家中。虽然Lacey先生表示之后要把小狗送去收容所，但是Doris内心希望把小狗留下，她认真地照顾着小狗。尽管小狗表现优秀，Doris试图说服父母允许自己留下小狗，但仍未得到确切答复。最终，随着天气转暖，小狗的命运成了悬念。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Doris知道是时候和狗说再见了，她感到相当担心”可知，第一段可描写Doris担心的神情和行为表现，以及父母突然告诉她可以把小狗留在家中的消息。
②由第二段首句内容“Doris用手捂住嘴，简直不敢相信自己所听到的”可知，第二段可描写父母向Doris解释他们决定留下小狗的原因，以及Doris开心的行为举动。
2. 续写线索：Doris很担心——Doris的神情和行为——父母打算留下小狗——Doris不敢相信——父母解释原因——Doris很开心
