Some time ago, I noticed that in each election cycle the same candidates (候选人) would run and get elected, sometimes unopposed. There were no changes, no new businesses starting up, and no growth at all.Having daughters in high school I felt I had my finger on the: “pulse” of a younger generation. I listened to their ideas about what could be better in our village, or why they had to go one town over to use the new skateboard park or have a burger at a new diner. And that was the moment when I, a single mother of three, thought about running in the upcoming election to become a Village Trustee. I felt that the issue of economic development needed to be addressed to relieve the pressure of rising property taxes on the residents.So, I gathered up my courage and picked up documents from Village Hall on running for election. I did some serious research and turned to friends who had run in various town elections before to make sure I chose the correct petition (请愿书), filled it out accurately, and got the right number of signatures.I believed that God helps those who help themselves. After filing my paperwork, I received support. Friends called to offer to put my signs on their lawns. One friend even created and maintained a website for me, where I could post my profile, mission statement, and information about free healthcare events and elderly services.When I walked in the Good Neighbor Parade as a newly elected official, the crowd cheered for me. Knowing that so many people believed in me and wanted me to help them achieve good things for their hometown was an incredible feeling.Finding the courage to run in a small-town election changed my outlook on life. It gave me hope that dreams can come true and small ideas can grow into something big.4. What did the author find about the village elections A. There were tough election battles.B. No candidates would run unopposed.C. More capable candidates were elected.D. There was almost no change in every run.5. What inspired the author to run for Village Trustee A. Her desire to make a leader.B. Her daughters’ efforts for a better village.C. Her experience in previous town elections.D. Her exposure to the ideas of the young generation.6. How did the author prepare for her election campaign A. She asked experienced friends for help.B. She created a website to promote herself.C. She gathered information about other, candidates.D. She hired a professional team to run the campaign.7. What can we conclude from this passage A. Actions speak louder than words.B. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.D. Better late than never, but better never late.CFor four decades, there’s been an invisible hand guiding the way we write, work, and communicate: Microsoft Word.Upon its launch in 1983, this software was first known as Multi-Tool Word, before being renamed Microsoft Word for Dos. By 1994, Microsoft says it had occupied a 90% share of the word-processing market, securing its position as one of the most successful software products in history.Word’s spell-checker and grammar features have evolved into subtle judges of language. When typing on Word, the software can automatically correct your spelling, and make suggestions for what to write next. These suggestions aren’t based on your personal writing style and tone — they’re rule-based. Writers might unintentionally abandon their unique voices and expressions. For those trying to learn a language, or even get better at their native tongue, features such as autocorrect have been-found to have a negative impact on student’s writing abilities and spelling skills.Based on a quick experiment, if Harper Lee had used Word to write To Kill a Mockingbird, the software would have suggested changing: “I never loved to read. One does not love breathing,” to “I never loved to read. Breathing is necessary.” Does this remove the poetry and. depth of the original The illustration is somewhat facetious, but it shows the effects using such tools can have.As artificial intelligence is integrated into word processing, a potential over-dependence on automation could discourage users from actively learning. Alternatively, AI may free people up to be even more creative. Its ability to learn and understand a person’s unique writing style could lead to an era of highly personal, unlimited imagination. The ultimate impact depends on how individuals and communities choose to use this powerful tool.8. What is the main purpose of the passage A. To show the help from Microsoft.B. To discuss the effects of Microsoft Word.C. To introduce the evolution of Microsoft Word.D. To explain the reason for popularity of Microsoft Word.9. What does the underlined word “facetious” mean A. serious B. fantastic C. amazing D. funny10. How does the author illustrate the effects of Microsoft Word A. By listing data and descriptions. B. By giving examples and analysis.C. By quoting writers’ remarks and reasons. D. By presenting changes and consequences.11. What is the writer’s attitude towards the integration of AI into Microsoft Word A. Positive B. Negative C. Objective D. UnconcernedDSpace is a very unfriendly place for humans to live in. Whether you’re in the sunlight or not, it’s either extremely cold or super hot. There are also many hidden dangers. Even though astronauts have oxygen and a stable temperature provided by their spacecraft, they seem to get sick more easily the longer they stay away from Earth.A report published on October 22nd; 2024, by the Guy Foundation, a British non-profit organization that studies the connections between physics and biology, has found new possible health risks for astronauts. This report, which is based on several recent research studies, says that long space trips or living on other planets might be even harder for humans than we thought before. The main worry is the harm that space travel seems to do to mitochondria (线粒体). Mitochondria are in nearly every cell and are in charge of making the energy that makes the cell work. The report suggests that this could be the reason for many of the health problems seen in astronauts, like problems with the immune system and heart and blood vessel diseases. The report also says that astronauts go through something like “faster ageing”, which is connected to the stop of the cell’s energy production.The report also gives several possible reasons for the mitochondria not working properly. Some are well-known in today’s science. For example, radiation can directly harm cells. Others are more like guesses. Free-fall is one possible reason. The report shows some new evidence that the pull of the Earth’s gravity might be very important for different processes that happen in cells. The lights in spacecraft are also under observation. Right now, they don’t have the full spectrum (光谱) of sunlight. Since we know that sunlight controls our body’s sleep and wake cycle and might affect other body functions, this could be a problem.Some problems might be fixed by using technology. We could build lunar bases underground to keep away from radiation, and we could change the lighting to be more like sunlight. A more ambitious idea would be to change humans instead of just where they live. Sir Martin Rees, who is an astronomer and used to be the president of the Royal Society, has always said that humans are not suitable for space travel. He thinks that making a new species through genetic engineering might be a, better way to go to other planets.12. What is the major concern raised in the report by the Guy Foundation A. Radiation harm to astronauts.B. Extreme temperatures in space.C. Potential health risks of space travel.D. Space travel’s damage to mitochondria.13. Which of the following can NOT cause mitochondria to function improperly A. The pull of Earth’s gravity.B. The radiation damage to cells.C. The free-fall during spaceflight.D. The lack of the full spectrum of sunlight.14. Which of the statements does Sir Martin Rees agree with A. Changing humans’ genes might be good for space exploration.B. Changing humans’ habitat can be the best way of space exploration.C Building lunar bases underground can protect humans from radiation.D. Genetic engineering may help humans get used to Earth’s environment.15. What might be the title for the text A. Challenges of Human Space Exploration.B. Mysteries of Mitochondria in Space Exploration.C. Health Risks and Potential Solutions of Space Travel.D. Hidden Dangers of Spaceflight on Astronaut Health.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)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 to Stay Motivated While StudyingStudying can often feel like an uphill battle, requiring not just your mental effort but also a significant amount of emotional strength. ____16____ Whether you’re a student preparing for exams, a professional improving your skills, or a curious learner, finding strategies for consistent study motivation is crucial.Set achievable goals. ____17____ This approach not only makes your goals seem more attainable but also provides a clear road map, boosting your focus and motivation and encouraging you to stay on track.____18____ The belief that your abilities can improve over time with effort is essential for overcoming study motivation challenges.

She sat alone in her room, staring at the broken pieces of the vase. She realized how much she missed her best friend and how unfair she had been. The vase was precious, but her friendship with Lily was irreplaceable. Emma knew she had overreacted and needed to make things right. She decided to gather the broken pieces carefully, hoping to repair the vase as a symbol of mending their friendship.The next day, Emma went to Lily’s house with a box. Inside were the repaired vase and a heartfelt letter. When Lily opened the door, Emma nervously handed her the box and said, “I’m so sorry for what I said. I was upset about the vase, but I shouldn’t have blamed you like that. You mean so much to me, and I don’t want to lose our friendship.” Lily’s eyes filled with tears as she read the letter and saw the vase, now pieced together with care. She hugged Emma tightly and whispered, “I forgive you. Let’s promise to always talk things through, no matter what.” From that day on, their bond grew even stronger, and the repaired vase became a cherished reminder of their enduring friendship. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
