Lindsey, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils (化石) on the land in Monroe County, unaware of their significant scientific value. However, her teacher, Dr. Andrew, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.
“Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.
Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various fossils, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale! This led the pair to start the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨). “Assuming all the bones of the whale are present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.
Lindsey got a research scholarship to continue her fossil-digging alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood hobby would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up fossils, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.”
“The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional meetings,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”
4. Why did Andrew become interested in Lindsey’s collection
A. He had a hobby of collecting fossils. B. He recognized the value of one fossil.
C. He wanted to show the collection in class. D. He needed help in his study of paleontology.
5. What major discovery did Lindsey and her teacher make
A. Plant fossils. B. A rare shark tooth.
C. Dinosaur footprints. D. A skull of an ancient whale.
6 What do we know about Andrew and Lindsey’s project from paragraph 3
A. It’s disappointing. B. It’s impractical.
C. It’s time-consuming. D. It’s money-saving.
7. What does Andrew want to express in the last paragraph
A. The unexpected joy of discovering fossils.
B. Lindsey’s possibility of becoming a paleontologist.
C. The importance of attending professional meetings.
D. Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development.
C
Have you ever thrown old things into the bin Yes, we all have this kind of experience, but many of us still haven’t taken part in a festival for that. In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting. Moreover, people exchange ideas on recycling, and children are taught how different materials can be transformed into new items. “I used to throw everything in one bin. But after coming to these festivals, I understand the importance of sorting,” said a local resident, Sarah.
What other things can we do for the environment In Portland, Oregon, the government sets a rule for gardening with native plants across the city. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. Many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner.
Another popular environmental proposal is the use of reusable items. In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount (折扣). Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags. A shopper, Lisa, shared, “I always carry a reusable bag with me when I go shopping. It’s a simple step, but it helps reduce plastic waste significantly.”
8. Why is the monthly recycling festival hosted
A. To create jobs for local residents. B. To exchange second-hand materials.
C. To promote sorting of recyclables. D. To change residents’ attitude to nature.
9. Which word best describes the practice of Portland
A. Fruitful. B. Fortunate. C. Costly. D. Meaningless.
10. How do New York coffee shops encourage reusable cups
A. By offering free drinks. B. By providing more coffee.
C. By cutting down the price a little. D. By giving posters to customers.
11. What does the author want to stress about environmental protection
A. Advance in technologies. B. Supports from plant companies.
C. Responsibilities of the government. D. Education and everyone’s participation.
D
From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to misapply technology. “For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop looks like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail commented.
A computer model called Mindy may make many people to think twice. A team of scientists built a 3-D model to uncover the impacts technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years.
“Spending hours looking down at your phone hurts your neck and throws your spine (脊椎) off balance,” explained Caleb Backe, a health expert. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head, making our back bent and neck wide. “The way we hold our phones can cause stress in certain points of contact — causing text claw (爪子),” Nikola Djordjevic, a practicing physician told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow, and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone.
Some people also commented that human evolution (进化) may not work this way. They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of survival, instead of the negative influence of technology. However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A model called Emma was built by researchers to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years.
The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in different countries. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are out of shape due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too.
12. What does the underlined word “misapply” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Avoid. B. Overuse. C. Improve. D. Obtain.
13. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The working theory of Mindy. B. The harm of mobile phones on health.
C. The influence of the computer model. D. The proper ways of using mobile phones.
14. What does Emma look like
A. Smart. B. Flexible. C. Unhappy. D. Abnormal
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Computer Models Serve as Helpers B. Computer Games Should Be Improved
C. Technology Might Change Body Shape D. Adjustment Shall Be Made to Technology

47. 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。
The school’s annual talent show was only two weeks away, and Peter’s hands got sweaty just thinking about it. Mr. Thompson, his English teacher, had encouraged him to enter the speech contest. “Your pronunciation is very good,” Mr. Thompson had said, patting him on the shoulder. But Peter knew the truth—he often forgot his lines (台词) when he spoke in public or when he was nervous.
Every afternoon after class, Peter stayed in the empty classroom, practicing alone. He marked his lines with colored pens and spoke the lines to the silent walls. Sometimes he pretended Mr. Thompson was sitting in the front row, nodding approvingly.
The big day finally arrived. Peter’s legs were shaking as he waited on the backstage. Through the curtains, he saw the sea of faces in the hall. Suddenly, a staff member rushed in. “We need to cut two minutes from each speech!” Peter’s heart sank—his carefully timed lines now had a gaping hole. He didn’t know what contents should be cut off.
He froze there. Just at that time, Mr. Thompson appeared beside him. “Think of it as a chance to adapt to the change,” the teacher said softly. “If you don’t know what to talk about, you can TELL YOUR STORY.” But Peter’s mind went blank. When his name was called, he stumbled (跌跌撞撞) onto the stage, microphone trembling (颤抖) in his hand.
The first sentence came out shakily. Then disaster. Peter forgot all his lines. The audience shifted in their seats and waited for his next sentence. With so many eyes fixed on him, his face went red and his throat tightened. He wanted to run from the stage.
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。
Just then, he noticed Mr. Thompson looking at him full of expectation.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall.

What other things can we do for the environment In Portland, Oregon, the government sets a rule for gardening with native plants across the city. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. Many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner.
Another popular environmental proposal is the use of reusable items. In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount (折扣). Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags. A shopper, Lisa, shared, “I always carry a reusable bag with me when I go shopping. It’s a simple step, but it helps reduce plastic waste significantly.”
8. Why is the monthly recycling festival hosted
A. To create jobs for local residents. B. To exchange second-hand materials.
C. To promote sorting of recyclables. D. To change residents’ attitude to nature.

From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to misapply technology. “For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop looks like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail commented.
A computer model called Mindy may make many people to think twice. A team of scientists built a 3-D model to uncover the impacts technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years.
“Spending hours looking down at your phone hurts your neck and throws your spine (脊椎) off balance,” explained Caleb Backe, a health expert. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head, making our back bent and neck wide. “The way we hold our phones can cause stress in certain points of contact — causing text claw (爪子),” Nikola Djordjevic, a practicing physician told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow, and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone.
Some people also commented that human evolution (进化) may not work this way. They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of survival, instead of the negative influence of technology. However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A model called Emma was built by researchers to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years.
The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in different countries. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are out of shape due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too.
12. What does the underlined word “misapply” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Avoid. B. Overuse. C. Improve. D. Obtain.
13. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The working theory of Mindy. B. The harm of mobile phones on health.
C. The influence of the computer model. D. The proper ways of using mobile phones.
14. What does Emma look like
A. Smart. B. Flexible. C. Unhappy. D. Abnormal
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Computer Models Serve as Helpers B. Computer Games Should Be Improved
C. Technology Might Change Body Shape D. Adjustment Shall Be Made to Technology
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C

47. 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。
The school’s annual talent show was only two weeks away, and Peter’s hands got sweaty just thinking about it. Mr. Thompson, his English teacher, had encouraged him to enter the speech contest. “Your pronunciation is very good,” Mr. Thompson had said, patting him on the shoulder. But Peter knew the truth—he often forgot his lines (台词) when he spoke in public or when he was nervous.
Every afternoon after class, Peter stayed in the empty classroom, practicing alone. He marked his lines with colored pens and spoke the lines to the silent walls. Sometimes he pretended Mr. Thompson was sitting in the front row, nodding approvingly.
The big day finally arrived. Peter’s legs were shaking as he waited on the backstage. Through the curtains, he saw the sea of faces in the hall. Suddenly, a staff member rushed in. “We need to cut two minutes from each speech!” Peter’s heart sank—his carefully timed lines now had a gaping hole. He didn’t know what contents should be cut off.
He froze there. Just at that time, Mr. Thompson appeared beside him. “Think of it as a chance to adapt to the change,” the teacher said softly. “If you don’t know what to talk about, you can TELL YOUR STORY.” But Peter’s mind went blank. When his name was called, he stumbled (跌跌撞撞) onto the stage, microphone trembling (颤抖) in his hand.
The first sentence came out shakily. Then disaster. Peter forgot all his lines. The audience shifted in their seats and waited for his next sentence. With so many eyes fixed on him, his face went red and his throat tightened. He wanted to run from the stage.
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。
Just then, he noticed Mr. Thompson looking at him full of expectation.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just then, he noticed Mr. Thompson looking at him full of expectation. Peter took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s advice to tell his own story. So, he began to talk about how he had always been afraid of speaking in public, but how his teacher’s encouragement had given him the courage to try. He spoke about the countless hours he had spent practicing alone in the classroom and how much he wanted to overcome his fear. As he spoke, he felt his confidence growing. He realized that he didn’t need to stick to the exact lines he had memorized. He could share his true feelings and experiences instead.
When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall. Peter looked out at the audience and saw smiles and nods of approval. He felt a wave of relief and pride wash over him. He had done it! He had faced his fear and shared his story with everyone. Mr. Thompson came backstage to congratulate him. “You did great, Peter,” he said. “You adapted to the situation and showed everyone your true self. That’s what public speaking is all about.” Peter smiled, knowing that he had learned a valuable lesson about facing challenges and being true to himself.
