Your Genealogy Today is a how-to genealogy magazine. People who are trying to discover their family roots know that there is no “master plan” that tells you how to conduct your research. While some ancestral lines can be traced back several generations with relatively little effort, others can only be discovered after painstaking research. Your Genealogy Today recognizes that there are hundreds, maybe thousands,of different records and methods that may apply to your own research.

After analyzing 14.5 billion words used in daily news coverage in 2021, The Oxford English Dictionary has chosen ―vax‖ as the Word of the Year.
Oxford Languages, the publisher of the dictionary, reported that ―Vax‖, the shortened term for ―vaccine‖, has injected itself into the bloodstream of the English language, and is a catchy and punchy word for 2021.
A contributing factor to its rise in 2021— aside from its obvious relation to the COVID vaccine drive— is its adaptability, according to Fiona McPherson, a senior editor of The Oxford English Dictionary. It can mean either vaccine or vaccination as a noun and vaccinate as a verb, and it is the root of many other phrases such as ―vax cards‖, ―vax passports‖, and
―getting vaxxied‖. The word has also been changed into other inventive words like vaxxie, a selfie taken during or immediately before or after one‘s vaccination. ―It has made the most striking impact,‖ said Fiona MePherson.
Vax and vaxx are both accepted spellings, but the form with one x is more common. It was first recorded in English in 1799, while its derivatives (衍生词) ―vaccinate‖ and ―vaccination‖ both first appeared in 1800. All of these words ultimately came from the Latin word ―vacca‖, which means ―cow‖. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, this is due to English physician and scientist Edward Jenner‘s pioneering work on vaccination against smallpox in the late 1790s and early 1800s.
―The word‘s highest frequency in usage caught our attention first. Then we ran the analysis and a story started to emerge, revealing how vax‘ sat at the centre of our preoccupations this year,‖ Casper Grathwohl, the president of Oxford Languages, said in an interview. ―No word better captures the atmosphere of the year than vax‘.‖
24.Which of the following best describes the word vax
Fixed. B. Complex. C. Adaptable. D. Boring.
25.What is the origin of the word vax
A.Edward Jenner‘s pioneering work. B. The Latin word vacca.
C. The Latin word cow. D. The Oxford English Dictionary.
26.Why is vax chosen as the Word of the Year
A.It is from The Oxford English Dictionary.
It is accepted by Oxford Languages.
It appears most frequently in news.
It is reporters‘ favorite word.
27.What does the text mainly talk about
A.Choosing vax as the Word of 2021.
B.Making vax changeable.
C.Researching the origin of vax.
D.Analyzing vax in The Oxford English Dictionary.

Calling vegetables and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study.
A French supermarket chain made international headlines when it began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly” in 2014. Since then, food stores around the world have launched campaigns to sell “imperfect produce”. Some have been successful, while others haven’t — but until now, researchers hadn’t adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce, or what marketing approach was most likely to whet their appetites.
The researchers conducted seven studies that tested the effects of “ugly” labeling by having participants purchase produce at a farmer’s market and online, and by examining people’s impressions about misshapen foods. Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious than more traditionally attractive foods.
But it’s not all bad news for unattractive foods. The researchers also found that when the produce is labeled “ugly”, consumer hesitancy disappears — and it’s not because of humor or originality. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.
“We’re pointing to the source of the rejection,” explains John Meredith, the lead researcher. “It makes people aware of the limited nature of their objection to the unattractive produce and makes it clear to consumers that there are no other problems in the produce other than attractiveness.”
The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower. However, if the price reduction was too sharp, participants expected the “ugly” foods to be of low quality.
28. What is the new study mainly about
A. Food quality. B. Marketing approach.
C. Consumer demand. D. Bias against appearance.
29. What does the underlined phrase “whet their appetites” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Stimulate their desire of buying. B. Satisfy their need to eat better.
C. Discourage them from trying out. D. Raise their concerns about nutrition.
30. Why are people willing to buy ugly-labeled produce without hesitation
A. They are happy to spend less and have more.
B. They are curious about the special shapes of produce.
C. They are attracted by the funny and creative idea of labeling.
D. They are led to believe ugly produce has no quality problems.
31. Which way helps food sellers make more profit according to the study
A. Call the ugly produce “ugly”. B. Label the ugly produce “imperfect”.
C. Group the produce by its attractiveness. D. Price the ugly produce at a sharp discount.
D
Since pre-industrial times, the world’s oceans have warmed by an average of 1 degree Celsius. Now researchers report that those rising temperatures have led to widespread changes in the population size of marine（海洋的）species.
A new study from the University of Bristol,UK, aims to find out how climate change is impacting the distribution,population and seasonality of marine species.
The study’s senior author,Martin Genner, an evolutionary ecologist, said: “We found the same trend across all groups of marine life we looked at， from plankton（浮游生物）to marine invertebrates（无脊椎动物），and from fish to seabirds. ”
Based on these findings,researchers reasoned that marine species should be doing well at the leading edge of their ranges but poorly at their trailing side.
The study found that 304 widely distributed marine species over the last century were indeed more abundant（大量的）at the poleward ends of their sample range. This suggests that marine species haven’t managed to adapt to warmer conditions. They may continue to move poleward as sea temperatures increase further,impactiing the livelihood of equatorward coastal towns.
“This matters because it means that climate change is not only leading to abundance changes,but affects the performance of species locally,” Genner said. “While some marine life may benefit as the ocean warms,we will also see continued loss of marine in the near future. ”
The researchers said that more work is needed to understand how climate change has affected marine life in all regions of the world in greater detail. Genner questioned, “Is this mainly related to the physiological（生理的）limits of the species, or instead due to changes in the species with which they interact ”
32. What does the new study from the University of Bristol try to discover
A. How many marine species the climate change influences.
B. Directions in which marine species move in different seasons.
C. How the climate change affects the population of marine species.
D. Similarities between certain species affected by the climate change.
33. What did the study find
A. There are new marine species in the poles.
B. At least 304 marine species were less widely distributed.
C. There is a sharp decline in the number of marine species.
D. The abundance of many marine species increased on poleward sides.
34. What does the finding suggest
A. Climate change can make the coast inhabitable.
B. Marine species haven’t adjusted to warmer temperatures.
C. Marine species may continue to move toward the equator.
D. Ocean warming improves the environment for marine species.
35. According to the text, what should future research focus on
A. The interaction among marine species.
B. The physiological limits of marine species.
C. The other possible factors behind this trend.
D. The changes in the performance of local species.

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。
How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself Things may not always go as planned, but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.
Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. 36 They can also be anything else that's useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you're born with, rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They're thinking about how to solve the problem.
37 When we learn to solve problems for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. 38 This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.
When you're facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. 39 Finally, review what has and hasn't worked, so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time.
And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you're unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help. 40
A. No one is expected to solve all problems by themselves.
B. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.
C. These may be practical things like pens and paper.
D. They can be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.
E. You also learn what you're good at.
F. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.
G. Here is how you can be more resourceful.

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。
It was the first week of Mia's middle school. The bell's ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Mia followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Mia, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn't think others would like her.
Mia finally sat in Mr. Johnson's Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Mia forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We'll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Mia desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply（长粉刺的）face, she felt hopeless and disappointed.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Mia began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let's see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Mia originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher's voice. “He's actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students' papers not read, including Mia's paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. After Mia finished her reading. the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time.

第二节
A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Mia was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Mia's turn. Frozen with fear, Mia stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Mia began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn't notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story.
After Mia finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Mia was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Mia finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Mia slowly lifted her head while walking. Later. she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared. And she was grateful to Mr. Johnson who believed in every student.
