I was born missing my left arm. In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic （义肢） device, and I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to ease the pains of the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates. By the time I was 8, I had no self-confidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one.
To prove that I wasn't limited by my disability, I developed a love for all sports, in particular swimming. I was selected to my first Australian women's swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country for eight years. I realized I'd made a . name for myself because of my disability.
In 2021 I was first contacted by Covvi, a company trying to create the world's most advanced bionic（仿生的） hand. They asked me to try the hand and, if possible, to become a patient advocate （代言人）. At first, I said no. Then, curiosity got the better of me.
While I was busy advocating for disability rights, a new generation of leaders, like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic, used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or prosthetic devices without explanation. People feared disability less. Society was beginning to see a person first, and their disability second.
As those conversations shifted, I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to guide future generations. In July 2022, I decided to try the hand.
The role of patient advocate is a great honor. Through sharing my journey, I'm able to reach thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities. That's why I wear a bionic hand — not because I'm broken, but because I have an opportunity to improve the human capabilities that already exist.
24. Why did the author develop a love for all sports
A. She was longing for fame. B. Sports relieved her pains.
C. She wanted to defeat her disability. D. Her prosthetic device gave her power.
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. More people acknowledged their limits.
B. The disabled needed a friendlier environment.
C. Social media gave the disabled equal rights.
D. Technology changed people's attitudes to disability.
26. Which of the following words can best describe the author
A. Intelligent and brave. B. Warm-hearted and patient.
C. Independent and creative. D. Responsible and strong-willed.
27. What should one do according to the passage
A. Make the most of one's abilities. B. Build one's confidence.
C. Stick to one's goal. D. Strive for perfection.
C
When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump via the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It's a plant's way of crying out. But is anyone listening We can watch the neighbors react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to "overhear" the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate（亲密的） than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are delicate. There's a whole lot going on.
28. What does a plant do when it is under attack
A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly. D. It sends out certain chemicals.
29. What does the author mean by "the tables are turned" in paragraph 3
A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
30. What do scientists find from their studies about plants
A. They can predict natural disasters.
B. They can talk to one another intentionally.
C. They can protect themselves against insects.
D. They can help their neighbors when necessary.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The world is changing faster than ever.
B. People have stronger senses than before.
C. The world is more complex than it seems.
D. People in Darwin's time were imaginative.
D
Virtual reality is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. Tech companies everywhere seem to be racing to get their foot in the VR door. However, virtual reality has a set of challenges and difficulties that it must overcome in order to work well. It should be noted that VR is heavily dependent on being very fast, very accurate and very good-looking. If it isn't, the viewer will feel motion sick or disconnected from the world that VR is trying to create.
Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it
Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn't just reading or watching something play out; they're experiencing it. The immersive（沉浸式虚拟现实的） nature of VR allows people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct（直觉）. The possibilities for storytelling here are numerous, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the power of VR.
The question of virtual reality, though, is not how powerful it is. That is immediately clear. The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren't easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn't both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail.
Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology is pretty exclusive（专有性） right now. Despite that, he said he doesn't think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run.
"I think it's very promising," Hallaq said. "We're seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smart phones." Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories.
32. Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism
A. Because it is an exclusively new tool.
B. Because it is very powerful and popular.
C. Because people can experience the story in person.
D. Because it is very fast, accurate and good-looking.
33. According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing
A. How powerful and interesting it can be.
B. Whether people will have easy access to it.
C. Whether qualified VR headsets can be built.
D. What new ways people will find to deliver content.
34. What's the author's attitude towards the future of VR technology
A. Optimistic. B. Neutral. C. Pessimistic. D. Concerned.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The Wide Popularity of Virtual Reality
B. The Future Development of Virtual Reality
C. Challenges and difficulties of Virtual Reality
D. Virtual Reality is the Future of Storytelling

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 36 . It's more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take the Mona Lisa, for example —it's a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. 37 , helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 38 . They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.
39 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 40 .
A. Both types of art take skills to make
B. Photographs keep faces of folks from long ago alive
C. Grasping abstract art demands more artistic training
D. Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty

My father and I disagreed about my curfew（晚间在家的时间）. He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, and there was no exception. One day, I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew. I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid. He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction, it was really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that exchange, my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game. On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.

Dear David,
Sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time, I'm writing to help you out.
I can totally relate to you for disagreements during high school are common. The reasons why the conflict arose could be different interpretations of the play itself, a lack of communication and the spirit of teamwork.
For the play's sake, it's essential to take a step back and try to settle with your group. I suggest having open and honest conversations with your group members and exchanging thoughts to reach an agreement. If the problem persists, don't hesitate to seek assistance from your teachers.
I genuinely hope these suggestions prove helpful to you and that everything goes well.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写：
I was beside myself with extreme anxieties, assuming the worst had happened. Suddenly, the phone rang, I rushed to the phone and picked the receiver up. From the other end of the phone came my father's voice. He said breathlessly, "Son, I am so sorry about the football game, but …there was a terrible accident... on the freeway... on my home, and I stopped to help the injured and ended up going to the hospital. I left my phone in the car, so I couldn't call you until now."
The heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I was so relieved to hear from my father. Having learnt that he was safe, I burst into tears. It was at that moment that I had a full understanding of the importance of a curfew. Since then, I have been insisting on checking in! For me, it's not only about knowing that someone I love is safe. It is also one more proof of my father's loving me as much as he does.
