The Best Houseplants for Every Space and Situation
The best indoor plants are the ones that suit your aesthetic (审美的) preferences and aren’t too difficult to maintain. Here’s what you need to know about these different categories of houseplants, so you can choose the ones that work best in your own home.
Low-light Indoor Plants
Not every home has a large bay window for plants to soak up the sunshine. Fortunately, there’s a large variety of plants that aren’t die-hard sun-worshippers. Whether you have a dim corner that’s crying out for a little greenery or you’re craving some color in your bedroom, the best low-light indoor plants don’t require a lot of time or energy.
Tall Indoor Plants
Tall houseplants can instantly bring a space to life by adding definition and texture (质感) to any home-decor style. Working with limited space Not a problem. You can still make the most of tall indoor plants. Even just one of them can be a striking visual point for a room, and it can help draw the eye upward, making the room appear larger.
Small Indoor Plants
Just because you don’t have a mansion doesn’t mean you can’t have a lush indoor garden. There are plenty of plants that grow in smaller spaces, the teeniest of which can look adorable like a tiny family on a windowsill or shelf. Keep in mind, however, that the smaller the pot is, the quicker the soil will dry out.
Indoor Hanging Plants
What makes indoor hanging plants so special They fill a blank space in a room with a beautiful silhouette, for starters. They create the illusion (假象) of a jungle, where plants peek out at different heights. They also move the eye upward, opening up the space.
21. What do tall indoor plants and indoor hanging plants have in common
A. They do with limited space. B. They fill a space like a jungle.
C. They match any decor style. D. They improve visual effect.
22. Which plants need extra care in watering
A. Low-light indoor plants. B. Tall indoor plants.
C. Small indoor plants. D. Indoor hanging plants.
23. In which section of a magazine may the text appear
A. Gardening. B. Health. C. Fashion. D. Wildlife.
B
It’s a sunny March afternoon at Winchester Village Elementary School in Indianapolis, and teacher Natasha Cummings is leading her class in a brand new lesson. It’s the first time she’s teaching it and also likely the last. The second graders audibly take a short quick breath when Cummings explains the day’s activity: They’ll be simulating(a total solar eclipse (日全食) using the real sun, an inflatable globe and a moon made out of a play dough ball mounted on a stick.
On April 8, a narrow strip of North America will experience a total solar eclipse, in which the moon entirely covers the sun, darkening the sky so that only the sun’s corona, a ghostly white ring, will be visible. Indianapolis is one of several cities in the path of totality. The last time that happened was over 800 years ago, and it won’t happen again until 2153. For many of Cummings’ students, this event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Cummings hopes learning about and witnessing the eclipse will inspire her students, and get them excited about science. It’s an experience she expects them to remember for the rest of their lives. “This is a story you’re gonna be able to tell,” she reflects before class.
In a grassy area outside the school, Cummings’ eclipse simulation begins: Students take turns holding the inflatable globes, and casting a shadow with their play dough moons. Cummings directs them to aim the shadow over the spot on the globe where Indianapolis would be. It’s a little chaotic, but the students quickly figure out how to properly position the moon’s shadow over their hometown.
Thomas Hockey, a professor of astronomy at the University of Northern Iowa, says he didn’t learn about solar eclipses when he was in grade school. He thinks the fact that elementary school teachers like Cummings are now teaching about them is an indication that science education has improved since he was a child. "Science is not done by old, gray-haired people in lab coats, necessarily. Citizens can participate in it. It’s not a magic black box; it’s all around us,” Hockey says.
24. How do the students probably feel when told about the new lesson
A. Frightened. B. Disappointed. C. Astonished. D. Satisfied.
25. Why is Cummings teaching her students about the eclipse
A. To improve their story-telling skills. B. To stir up their passion for science.
C. To witness a real total solar eclipse. D. To seize a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
26. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. The process of the simulation. B. The direction of Cummings.
C. The position of the moon. D. The reaction of the students.
27. What does Thomas Hockey suggest people do to learn science
A. Do experiments in lab coats. B. Study hard in elementary school.
C. Participate in some magic tricks. D. Experience scientific phenomena.
C
Trained goldfish demonstrated a remarkable ability to accurately estimate the distance. Spatial navigation (空间导航) in mammals, birds, and reptiles is well understood, but it was unknown whether similar structures existed in fish. This knowledge would allow us to better understand how spatial navigation systems evolved.
Researchers from the University of Oxford tested whether goldfish could perform a task central to spatial mapping-distance estimation—to see if they have similar spatial navigation systems to land species. The study, led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, trained nine goldfish to travel 70 cm within a narrow tank covered with a repeating pattern of vertical stripes (竖条纹) every 2 cm. When the fish reached the predetermined distance, they were prompted by an external cue to turn around and swim back to the starting point. The researchers then tested whether the fish would swim the same distance if the external cue was removed and the starting position was changed. They also tested whether goldfish would swim the same distance when the background pattern was changed.
According to the researchers, the results indicate that goldfish estimate distances by visually streaming the apparent motion patterns of objects in the environment (called “optic flow”). Many land species are known to use optic flow to estimate distance, but goldfish appear to process the information differently. Land animals, including humans, ants, wolf-spiders, and honey bees, estimate distances by measuring how the angle between their eye and surrounding objects changes as they travel. Goldfish, on the other hand, appear to use the number of contrast changes experienced on the way.
“We present strong evidence that goldfish can accurately estimate distance and show that they use optic flow to do so,” says lead author Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux. “These findings support the use of goldfish as a model system for studying the evolution of the mechanisms in vertebrates (脊椎动物).”
28. What does the word “prompted” underlined in the second paragraph refer to
A. Punished. B. Reminded. C. Forgotten. D. Cheated.
29. Why was the external cue was taken away from the tank
A. To make it easy for the goldfish to turn around.
B. To demonstrate the goldfish’s swimming ability.
C. To research into the goldfish’s sense of distance.
D. To help the goldfish reach the learned distance.
30. According to the results, goldfish estimate distances by ________.
A. copying land animals B. processing information
C. experiencing changes D. applying optic flow
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Goldfish Have an Excellent Sense of Distance
B. The Use of Optic Flow Among Land Animals
C. A Study Is Being Carried Out on Trained Goldfish
D. The Evolution of Spatial Navigation in Vertebrates
D
When we are desperately searching for our glasses, wallet or keys, we might wish to have a photo-graphic memory, but the truth is we are designed to forget.
In fact, the majority of what we experience in a given day is likely to be forgotten in less than 24 hours. And that is a good thing. Think of all the passing encounters with people you will never see again and the times you spend waiting in a queue at the supermarket. If our brains hoarded (贮藏) every moment of every experience, we would never be able to find the information we need among an ever-increasing pile of information.
So, if memory is not supposed to be a comprehensive collection of the past, what is the point of remembering at all To answer this question, it helps to think about what it means to remember in the first place. For more than 25 years, I have studied how we are able to recall past events, an ability known as “episodic memory”. It is described as the uniquely human capability for “mental time travel, roaming at will over what has happened as readily as over what might happen, independently of the physical laws that govern the universe”. I first read this description of mental time travel when I was a graduate student, and I was deeply sceptical. Now, with the wisdom of age, I understand what it meant.
When you recall a rich episodic memory, there is a noticeable feeling of being transported back to a point in your past, a specific time and place. For instance, the smell of freshly baked pastries might remind you of having breakfast with your grandmother. Findings from my lab and others have shown that, at the moment of remembering, the brain appears to return a bit to the state that it was in at the time, enabling us to relive these past experiences.
This is why, if you have misplaced your keys, it can be helpful to put yourself, mentally. into the context where you last saw them. Getting in touch with the sights, sounds and thoughts from an earlier time period can be an effective way of accessing those memories.
32. Why does the author think forgetfulness is a good thing
A. We are born to forget the past events.
B. It helps to find the needed information.
C. All the encounters are not that pleasant.
D. Our brains fail to hoard important moments.
33. What do we know about “episodic memory”
A. It partly depends on the physical laws.
B. It explains our ability to remember the past.
C. It becomes obvious with the wisdom of age.
D. It focuses on purposeful mental time travel.
34. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning freshly baked pastries
A. To express love for grandmother. B. To share a feeling of time travel.
C. To illustrate a vivid episodic memory. D. To forget precious past experiences.
35. What can we do to find the misplaced keys
A. Recall the situation where we saw them.
B. Search the labs where we do experiments.
C. Think in our mind what they looked like.
D. Write our real thoughts related to them.

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。
When is bedtime 36 Inside every living thing is a clock that follows the sun.
For a long time, people assumed that daylight told animals when to go to sleep or wake up. See light, wake. See dark, sleep. Then, in 1729, a French scientist named Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan did an experiment with a mimosa (含羞草), a plant that folds up its leaves at night. 37
From time to time, he peeked inside. To his surprise, the leaves continued to open and close each day as usual, even in total darkness. And he had discovered a new thing about living creatures. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock that keeps track of whether it’s morning, noon, or night on the 24-hour cycle of a day. 38
Every cell in the body has its own tiny time-clicker. A master timekeeper in the brain keeps all these cell clocks in step. For humans, a small group of cells at the back of the eye are in charge of the special job. 39 The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” chemicals to all your cells.
You can feel light reset your clock if you fly to a different time zone. For a few days you get sleepy at bedtime back home even if it’s afternoon in your new place. This is called “jet lag”. 40 But soon the bright light in the morning and dark at night will reset your master clock to match the local time where you are, and you’re back on schedule.
So don’t worry if you forget your watch—your clock inside will keep you on sun time.
A. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock.
B. That’s your body’s internal clock at work.
C. If you don’t have a phone or watch, don’t worry.
D. To learn more about this, scientists did some research.
E. They signal when they see strong daylight or growing darkness.
F. He put some of the plants in a cupboard and kept them in constant darkness.
G. These timekeepers cause cells to do different things at different times of day.

As a country with a rich history and splendid civilization, China has witnessed the passing down of numerous forms of intangible cultural heritage which continue to flourish today. Ronghua, or velvet 56 (flower) that are made of silk and copper wire, hold a rich historical legacy in China.
Velvet flowers 57 (pass) down since the Tang Dynasty and were once offered as a tribute to the imperial court. The main raw material for the velvet flowers is silk, 58 is relatively rare in handmade crafts.
Observation is key 59 making velvet flowers. In our daily lives, we need to understand the structure of these flowers.
The production process involves making the velvet strip, followed by shaping, which refers to trimming it into various shapes 60 (use) scissors. Finally, the artists assemble the flowers, which is also known as arranging. They are entirely handmade and there is no step that can 61 (replace) by a machine.
Creatively, I adopted a black background with flowers in the Morandi color palette (调色板) in Siguangxingcan. The color palette, together with the changes in flower shape and different combinations, 62 (give) the artwork a mysterious and slightly oil-painting-like appearance. It is 63 (complete) different from the traditional look of velvet flowers.
As for the development of velvet flowers, we need to continue exploring 64 (they) applications, making them integrate more closely with modern fashion in daily life. I believe that in this way, they will have 65 increasingly promising future.

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。
Some kids play sports. They run hundreds of laps, and tackle, kick, or swing. Some kids do makeover parties. They pool their fashion magazines and organize their own spa hair salons. And some kids are computer geeks. Their programming ability is a thing of wonder.
Me I had the spelling bee (拼字比赛). The bee was my World Series. And what happened during a Spelling Bee remained fresh in my memory.
I trained every day on my front steps after school, the dictionary pages rippling softly in the breeze. I formed a habit carrying around my buddies Longman, Webster, and Oxford.
As soon as I opened my eyes on Friday morning, I felt the hairs on my arm stand up. I glanced at my alarm clock—it was only 6:27. I usually woke up at 7:01, which meant I had an extra thirty-four minutes to study. Starting with the word “judgment” which I always spelt as “J-U-D-G-M-A-N-T”, I went over several words.
To calm my butterflies in my stomach, I reminded myself that I was one of the best spellers in my class. I was not ambitious enough to want to go to the Scripps National Spelling Bee or anything—I just wanted to win the bee at Meadowbrook Middle School, so that I could defeat my main enemy, Nathan Fortescue.
Nathan thought he was a better speller than I was, but he didn’t even study words. He just read tons of science and math books. Really, he wasn’t a speller at heart—he was a mathematician. Nathan and I had nothing in common except being good spellers, but since he was a good speller without even trying, it didn’t count. I bet if you gave Nathan a modern literature word like “denouement”, he’d be out on the first round.
The Spelling Bee wasn’t until after lunch, so all I did in the morning was stare at the clock and wondered how seconds could possibly pass by so slowly. I sneaked away from lunch early so I could get in a few extra minutes of study time.
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。
As soon as I shut the classroom door behind me, I heard a voice. “Now it’s time for the Spelling Bee!” Ms. Hawking said brightly.

W: So, Mr. Evans, you are aware that most of our associates here have at least seven years of experience, right
M: Yes, I know that, madam, but I believe that the company I started when I was in high school also counts as experience, so…
W: Mr. Evans, do you really think that selling candy to a bunch of teenagers is the same as working at a financial company or a bank
M: Well, not exactly, madam, but I did prepare sales estimates and expense reports, and by the end, I was dealing in many other goods besides candy.
W: Like what
M: Oh, you name it—clothes, sporting equipment, electronics… even event tickets and vacation packages. Remember, this was before buying and selling things online was common. It started out small, but by my senior year, I had five people working for me, and I was able to save enough money to pay for over half of my college tuition. In fact, this project was probably the main reason I got into Harvard.
W: What made you decide to start this business
M: My uncle taught me everything and gave me the funding to get started. He is a very successful businessman, and I owe everything to him.
W: Well. Mr. Evans, it’s a great story, and I’m sure that your work experience after graduation was also valuable. Believe me, I know how hard it is to work while attending business school at night. But you would be the youngest employee here by at least five years. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I still have concerns about your level of maturity.
M: Trust me, madam, I will work harder than I’ve ever worked before. I’ll even work for free for the first six months to prove to you that I’m serious about this job.
W: Well, that’s quite an offer. I’ll let you know by the end of the week.

For many college kids like me, doing laundry can be a problem. If you live in the dorms on campus, the washing and drying machines are always being used by somebody else, so unless you want to wash your clothes on Friday night, you have to wait a long time. Most apartments located outside campus don’t have their own machines, either. This is true for my apartment as well. The solution for most students is to go to a laundromat, which is a public place where anyone can do their laundry. The machines are big, fast, and easy to operate. Best of all, there are a lot of them, so you never have to wait in line! Prices are not too bad: You can expect to pay about three or four dollars to wash and dry one week’s worth of laundry. Some of my friends still take all their dirty clothes back home to their parents’ house so they can do their laundry for free, but I actually enjoy laundry day. Laundromats often have video games you can play while you wait, and many are located next to restaurants or bars. My best friend actually met his girlfriend at a laundromat! I think doing laundry can actually be a social activity if you go to the right place.

Dear Organizers,
I’m writing to share some ideas for the upcoming “Exploring Cultural Heritage” event.
Firstly, I propose organizing visits to local cultural heritage sites for students to explore and learn. This would deepen our understanding of our country’s rich history and culture, fostering a sense of national pride and cultural identity. Secondly, hosting themed lectures or workshops by experts would offer insights into the value and significance of cultural heritage, enhancing our academic knowledge and overall development. Lastly, hands-on activities such as traditional craft making or folk performances would allow us to experience the charm of our traditional culture firsthand and acquire practical skills and knowledge.
In summary, by incorporating diverse activities, we can effectively showcase the allure and importance of cultural heritage while promoting a deeper appreciation and inheritance of our traditions. Thank you for considering these suggestions. Looking forward to a successful event!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

One possible version:
As soon as I shut the classroom door behind me, I heard a voice. “Hi, Olivia. You were looking a little pale in math this morning. I’m glad the rose is back in your cheeks. I was afraid you might miss the spelling bee.” “Oh, wouldn’t you just love that ” “Not really. I enjoy a bit of competition. Is that the list of words you’re studying Funny, I don’t think I have one of those.” I was so irritated I couldn’t concentrate on reviewing my list, but it didn’t matter—I knew all the words by heart, anyway. Within three minutes, the rest of the class filled in, and it was noisier than a five-year-old’s birthday party. I finished taking a mental picture of “scalawag” just as Ms. Hawking walked into the room.
“Now it’s time for the Spelling Bee!” Ms. Hawking said brightly. “Is everybody ready ” “No!” the class groaned—everyone except Nathan and me, of course. My class was full of pretty bad spellers. After six times around the circle, there were only two kids left, Nathan and me. I cocked my head toward Nathan, beaming with the knowledge of my impending triumph. Nathan’s next word was “judgment”, “J-U-D-G-M-E-N-T. Judgment.” “That is correct!” Like a zombie. “Hey,” says Nathan. “Are you OK ” He smiled and stuck out his hand to shake mine. “Judgment,” I mumbled weakly. He shrugged, “Eoin Colfer is my favorite author, and the other day the word ‘judgment’ was in one of his books I’m reading. So I guess I just absorbed it.” “Eoin Colfer is my favorite author, too! I thought you hated reading books without numbers.” I laughed. Nathan smiled. OK, so maybe Nathan and I did have a few things in common.
