On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was gazing out his back windows of his home in Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek when he spotted a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude.
As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander, realized it was going to land in the creek (小海湾). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001, he was at work when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos (混乱) but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.
On this day, he didn’t hesitate. Racing down to the waterfront, he saw the plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen creek, far from the shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew that the icy water could kill the pilot.
Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So, he rushed back and swiftly pulled out a kayak (橡皮船) from his back deck.
He set off. His first attempts left him circling on the spot. But with some muscle, he made progress. It was physically-demanding work. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (淹没) up to his chest. Gelinne edged his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot. To keep the pilot calm, he joked, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water immediately. But all their desperate attempts ended in failure.
By now a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and rushed him to safety; he would be treated for minor injuries.
Rescue had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old. There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.
4．What happened to the small aircraft
A．It ran out of fuel. B．It sank into the icy water. C．It flew off the course. D．It was attacked by terrorists.
5．Why did Gelinne set out to help without hesitation
A．To make up for regret. B．To carry out his mission.
C．To earn others’ respect. D．To demonstrate his power.
6．Which word best describes the situation the pilot was in
A．Favorable. B．Life-changing. C．One-sided. D．Critical.
7．What is the best title for the story
A．Dragging the Pilot. B．Witnessing the crash.
C．Seizing the Chance. D．Fighting the Currents.

Some countries mainly depend on food import from other countries. The United Arab Emirates imports roughly 90% of its food. A company in the capital Abu Dhabi wants to help change that.
Pure Harvest Smart Farms is developing smart greenhouses, using technology to allow agriculture to develop in the tough environment. During the severe summer months, temperatures can rocket to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. While inside the greenhouse, the environment is suitable for farming. An advanced system analyzes data to adjust sunlight, temperature and humidity (湿度). Other conditions such as water and airflow are also measured.
Compared with traditional farming methods, Pure Harvest’s novel resource-efficient food pruction systems have great superiority, such as saving resources and reducing carbon emissions. Other special features of its systems include the absence of soil and pesticides. Pure Harvest’s growing systems also result in very low water consumption per kilogram of production.
As the population in the UAE continues to grow and there’s more focus on sustainability, the new farm will help to meet this increasing demand and give UAE consumers more options to enjoy the best-quality produce. “It was something that dealt with food security, water protection, economic diversification for the region, and sustainability,” said CEO Sky Kurt.
“Maybe in the future we will have enough sensors on the plants so that the line is more productive,” Jan Prins, the farm’s head added. “There are thousands of people working worldwide to make this better.”
The farm will improve food security in the UAE, but the new idea could have benefits far beyond its borders. According to experts, global food production will have to double by 2050.
8．What’s the main function of the smart greenhouses
A．To address the environment issues.
B．To enhance the planting environment.
C．To monitor the plants inside them.
D．To increase the indoor temperature.
9．Which is NOT the advantages of the smart farms
A．They need more soil. B．They are environment-friendly.
C．They need less water. D．They can save energy.
10．What can be inferred about the new farm from Sky Kurtz’s words
A．It helped the country to solve water pollution.
B．It requires thousands of people to work together.
C．It has been equipped with enough sensors.
D．It makes a difference to UAE’s development.
11．What’s the main idea of the text
A．New farms help improve agricultural planting.
B．Farmers make efforts to protect natural resources.
C．Global food production has largely increased.
D．Smart greenhouses give way to traditional farms.
D
Among my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones. It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis (骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture (骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference.
Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven’t been consistent. But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it’s useful to look at new data on vitamin D．Calcium is the key element for building bones, and vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we eat, so doctors often recommend D supplements (补充剂) to make up for age-related bone loss.
But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density (密度). “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, who led the study.
What does help maintain strong bones for all of us The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients (营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements.”
The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.
12．What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize
A．The seriousness of bone problems. B．The concern about senior citizens.
C．The confusion about strengthening bones. D．The importance of having a balanced diet.
13．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply
A．Diet research is no longer a challenge. B．We’ve made resolutions to study diets.
C．Findings on bone health prove to be similar. D．We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.
14．What can be inferred from the recent study
A．People can absorb vitamin D in food easily. B．The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones.
C．D supplements play a minor role than expected. D．Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise.
15．What is a suitable title for the text
A．A recipe for better bones B．Your bones cry!
C．The magic of D supplements D．Vitamin D wins!
阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的七个选项中，选出最佳选项填入文中的空白处，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有2个为多余选项。
Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives. Fewer than 10 percent actually stick with their plans, and that figure is being generous. 16 .
Not aiming high enough. While it’s easy to think setting easy goals will keep you motivated, it may harm your long-term motivation. If you make goals that are too achievable, you’ll get bored and lose interest. 17 . If you’re used to staying within your comfort zone, you'll be missing out on the satisfaction of achieving a life-changing goal. When you push yourself, you'll be able to build unshakable confidence as you achieve goal after goal.
18 . This is a fear many of us deal with. Instead of taking action, we start worrying about “ What if ” “What if it doesn’t work out What if my dream isn’t truly my dream What if I don’t succeed ” If you have trouble creating a vision , then you’re at the risk of being aimless through life. 19 . You can start the process of discovering your life purpose by asking yourself, “ What would my ideal life look like ”
Letting fear control your mind and actions. Fear can prevent you from achieving your dreams. You’ll miss out on opportunities in life if you don’t learn how to manage your fears. 20 . One way to manage fear is to look for the root cause of your fear. With deep introspection (反省), you can uncover the exact moment when those fears are holding you back from growing. This will give you a window of opportunity to communicate with your inner being and find release.
A．Lacking self-confidence
B．Being uncertain about the future
C．Fortunately, fear can be overcome
D．Below you’ll find some common reasons why you’re losing motivation
E．Many of us are motivated not by a desire to achieve, but by fear of failure

Amy’s youngest child, 2-year-old Jenna, wouldn’t go to sleep until Amy read her a story while rocking her. Rocking and reading became their favorite nighttime routine.
Jenna awoke one night screaming in pain. Hospital tests later revealed that she had cancer, but luckily she had a successful operation.
During Jenna’s first week in the hospital, Amy stayed with her day and night. The nurses put a rocking chair in her room so they could continue their nighttime routine. After Jenna was asleep, Amy got some rest in the hard armchair by Jenna’s bed. Jenna was doing well, and Amy began sparing time to help her husband Joe take care of their little boys. She would go home in the evening, have dinner with the boys, and then return to the hospital until Jenna was asleep. Then Amy would come home for the remainder of the night.
It was pouring rain one evening as Amy hurried home to make dinner. By the time the meal was done, the roads were dangerous. Joe stood nearby as she looked out of the kitchen window. He firmly stopped Amy from going out in such weather.
“Joe,” Amy cried, “I have to read Jenna a story and rock her. She won’t be able to sleep if I don’t.” “Honey,” he said, “be reasonable. What if you have a bad car accident The roads will be better tomorrow. Then, you can go.”
Amy finally nodded and called Sally, a middle-aged nurse who worked a twelve-hour shift from 8 am to 8 pm. In tears she told Sally that it was the first time since Jenna was born that she hadn’t rocked her at bedtime.
Sally comforted Amy in a calm voice. She promised that she would go in to see Jenna before she left and tell her that when she woke up her mommy would be with her. “Thank you, Sally,” Amy said.
When it was time to go to bed, Jenna couldn’t find her mom and got panic.

46．Good morning, everyone!
Today, I want to share my most unforgettable sports experience. It was a summer afternoon when I first attempted to run a marathon. The sun was scorching, and I felt exhausted after just a few kilometers. However, I pushed myself to keep going, driven by the cheers from the crowd and my own determination. Finally, I crossed the finish line, breathless but triumphant.
This experience taught me the value of perseverance and self-belief. It showed me that with hard work and determination, I can achieve goals that once seemed impossible.
Thank you!

Just when her tears welled up, Sally came in. Knowing Jenna was waiting for Mom anxiously, she carried the girl in the arms and gently told her that her mum would come a bit late due to the heavy rain outside. However, on hearing that, Jenna burst out crying. Just at this moment the nighttime routine Amy mentioned came to Sally’s mind. She took out a book and read it to Jenna while rocking her. It really worked! Jenna fell asleep soon! But Sally didn’t leave her alone, for fear that she would wake up during the night.
The next morning Amy opened the door, finding Jenna was sleeping peacefully in Sally’s arms. Immediately, scalding tears streamed out and her hanging heart eventually settled down. The noise of the door awoke the nurse, who carefully got out of the bed. Amy came up and took her hand tightly, saying, “Thank you. You didn’t know how worried I was last night.” Sally smiled and said, “It’s nothing. But I’ve learned to comfort babies from you — the nighttime routine.” With the words, a knowing smile appeared on the faces of two women.
