Failure is a big part of everyone’s life. The problem many of us face, however, is that we automatically equate experiencing failure with being a failure. We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden.
In fact, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. It should be expected on the way to achieving life goals and used as a feedback mechanism (机制)to get it right next time, or the time after.
I recently saw a woman who had to give up studying for her university degree. She had bipolar disorder (躁郁症)and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. She was studying to be a teacher and had hoped to find a teaching job. However, she failed her exams and job interviews, and overall felt like she was failing to achieve anything.
One of the things she enjoyed doing was singing in a band. So in order to earn a bit of money, she began giving singing lessons to children in her community. Fast forward 18 months and she now has her own growing business of teaching singing full-time. She hasn’t achieved this goal in the way she imagined, and she wouldn’t have embarked on this path without the setbacks she encountered.
What was it about this woman that made her succeed Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor.
An important part of developing flexibility is having a supportive network. Having relationships with people who can support us helps us go through tough times.
Our attitudes toward ourselves are also crucially important— including a sense that we are in control of our actions, have confidence in what we do, realize our strengths and set ourselves achievable and realistic goals. This is all necessary to flexibility.
The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. Rather than thinking of ourselves as victims, we need to realize we have the ability to change the way we think, behave and, ultimately, feel. Life may throw manure (类) at us, but we can grow roses with it.
24. What do people usually think of failure
A. Shameful. B. Unavoidable. C. Changeable. D. Rewarding.
25. What do paragraphs 3-4 mainly talk about
A. Ways to achieve our goals in life.
B. Reflection on how to avoid failure.
C. Reasons why failure can't be avoided.
D. An example of turning failure into a chance.
26.What does the author think contributes to the woman’s success
A. His positive mindset. B. Her ability to adapt.
C. Her eagerness to learn. D. Her courage and persistence.
27. What is the key to being flexible, according to the author
A. Ignoring what bothers us. B. Keeping improving our abilities.
C. Learning to accept failure D. Setting goals based on our interests
C
Wake up energetically at 6 am, exercise for over an hour after freshening up, and study productively throughout the day. This daily routine is frequently featured in vlogs on social media with the theme of “self-discipline (自律)”.
But when trying out such a schedule, many of us may feel exhausted. Is it just because we are lazy Why do some people seem to have so much energy
Genetic differences, to start with, can significantly influence our energy levels. A tiny part in our DNA called SNPs can help to explain 8.4 percent of fatigue (疲劳).cases, according to a 2018 study. A study published in the journal Nature reported that, in general, genes affect tiredness by an amount ranging from 6 to 50 percent.
Nevertheless, there’s a whole lot more you can explore about your energy levels.
The food you eat gives you energy. However, there’s an often-ignored element —Vitamin D A study published in 2019 in the journal Nutrients noted that older adults with reduced vitamin D levels experienced fatigue more than those with normal levels. You can get a sufficient amount of it by sunbathing or consuming enough Vitamin-D-rich foods, such as fish, eggs and milk.
Another analysis published in Nutrients found that eating foods high in saturated fat (饱和脂肪) is linked to excessive daytime sleepiness. These foods probably include some of your favorites: butter, cheese, ice cream, and fried foods.
Even if a workout leaves you sweaty and out of breath, exercise can actually increase your energy. “When you exercise, you release hormones like adrenaline (肾上腺素),” Sabrena Jo, an expert at the American Council on Exercise, told the Health website. “This hormone actually tells our bodies to ignore feelings of pain and fatigue while enhancing blood flow to large muscles. This “excitement” in your body can last for several hours.
Exercise helps, but only to a point. Those who exercise too frequently may experience negative impacts on their energy levels.
It’s also important to note that low energy levels could be your body’s way of telling you that you have an underlying problem. Iron deficiency (缺铁)and anemia(贫m)are two examples of health conditions that can increase fatigue.
28.Why do some people seem to have more energy than others, according to the text
A. They are strict with themselves. B. They follow a disciplined routine.
C. They are born naturally energetic. D. They have more SNPs to stay active.
29.What can we learn about Vitamin D
A. We can get it by bathing in the sun.
B. Its levels are definitely lower in older adults.
C. Its effect on our energy is universally recognized.
D. The larger amount of it we get, the more energetic we will be.
30. What can be inferred about the effect of exercise on our energy levels
A. It reduces the body’s need for rest.
B. It constantly boosts our energy levels
D. It slows down the release of adrenaline
C. It can lead to tiredness if done too often.
31. What might it indicate if you constantly feel low on energy
A. You are simply lazy and lack motivation.
B. You may have some health issue that needs attention.
C. You must adjust your diet and increase vitamin D intake
D. You should surely exercise more to boost your energy levels,
D
Most people hate mosquitoes — but scientists are about to build a “mosquito factory” to release modified mosquitoes.
The modified mosquitoes carry a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis (沃尔巴克氏菌) which can be naturally found in most insect species. However, it’s rarely discovered in mosquitoes. “We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium,” Scott O’Neil. An Australian scientist who is involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population.
Several studies have demonstrated the insects’ success. For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue (登革热) by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021.
The World Mosquito Program has announced that it will release modified mosquitoes in many of Brazil’s urban areas over the next 10 years. The aim is to protect up to 70 million people from diseases such as dengue, a disease mainly spread by mosquitoes. Dengue patients may have mild symptoms (症状) like fever, but severe cases can lead to death.
Brazil has one of the highest rates of dengue infection in the world, according to the Nature website. “More than 1,000 people died of dengue in 2022 because of the spread of mosquitoes. It’s going everywhere,” Luciano Moreira, a scientist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, told CBC News.
Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified (GM, 转基因的) mosquitoes. In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency cleared the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida
According to the agency, GM mosquitoes carry two types of genes: a self-limiting gen that prevents female offspring(后代) from surviving to adulthood, and a marker gene that allows researchers to identify GM ones in the wild. After being released, G mosquitoes lay eggs, so the genes are passed on to offspring. In this way, the number of female mosquitoes is reduced, therefore reducing the chance of spreading disease.
32. Why are the modified mosquitoes grown according to Scott O’Nei
A. To prevent mosquitoes from biting people.
B. To make money for the scientists involved
C. To reduce the number of insects in the world.
D. To spread a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis.
33.What can we learn about the release of modified mosquitoes in Brazil
A. The decision to do so is only based on scientific research.
B. The program will immediately reduce dengue cases by 77%.
C. The high infection rate of dengue in Brazil is a key factor to it.
D. The program aims to remove dengue completely within the next decade.
34. What does the underlined word “cleared” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Permitted. B. Removed. C. Disturbed. D. Restricted.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. The Benefits of Mosquitoes
B. Modified Mosquitoes to Fight Diseases
C. The World Mosquito Program’s Success
D, Genetic Engineering in Medical Research

It was a cold, sunny December day when I set out for a run in Moab, Utah, with my dog Taz. I often went for training runs by myself and had done this particular route before.
About an hour into my run along a remote canyon (峡谷) trail, I hit a patch of black ice and then fell 60 feet into the canyon, landing on a ledge (岩脊) above a sheer (陡峭的) drop. I wasn’t paralyzed, but I was in great pain. Taz had managed to find his way back to me, so there must be a way out of the canyon, but I couldn’t stand or even crawl.
I shouted for help and was intent on dragging myself to the bottom of the canyon. Every inch was an effort. It took me five hours to go a quarter of a mile. Eventually, it got so dark that I had to stay where I was for the night, next to a puddle of water, At night the temperature dropped below freezing. Taz stayed with me, providing some warmth.
The next morning, I couldn’t move at all. tried to stay positive. I was sure somebody would hear me screaming for help. The second night in the canyon seemed even longer and colder. The puddle turned to ice, and I had to crack through it to get water.
On the third day, I felt myself growing weaker, I was coming to terms with the fact that I might die. In a last-ditch effort, I called Taz over and told him to go and get help. Taz took off through the canyon and I lay there thinking about my family and friends. There was more that wanted from life.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150个左右;

Survey on Sleep Time among Senior 2
As the chart shows, the vast majority of students get 6 hours or less of sleep, while only about 20% enjoy 7 hours and 10% are fortunate to have 8 hours.
These findings raise concerns about the health and well-being of us students. The lack of sufficient sleep could be due to heavy academic loads, extracurricular activities, or even the use of electronic devices late into the night.
To address this issue, I suggest that the school carry out a stricter bedtime policy and encourage students to prioritize their sleep. Additionally, reducing homework loads and promoting relaxation techniques could also help improve sleep quality.
第二节 读后续写（25分）
Taz returned, alone. After leaving the hospital, I was in a wheelchair for three months. The physical therapy was tough, but I was driven by the memory of Taz’s unwavering loyalty and my own desire to live. My legs slowly regained strength, and I learned to walk again. Taz was always by my side, cheering me on with his wagging tail and loving eyes. Our bond had deepened through adversity, and I owed my life to him. From that day on, I cherished every moment, knowing that life was precious and that love had the power to conquer even the darkest valleys.
