For the boy Cantrelle, HHS’s skill-based courses opened the door to college credits, industry-based certifications and a jump-start on his career path. Through HHS and the Satellite Center, Cantrelle earned certifications in coding, safety, geographic information system mapping, instrumentation and more.
When Cantrelle took an instrumentation course at the Satellite Center, it was a turning point. One project stands out — he and his partner had to install (安装) pipes and wires so that a light would turn on at certain points in the design. “Over the course of two or three days, we got it to work,” he said. “And there was just something about having a plan, physically building it on the wall, and then hitting the switch and seeing the lights turn on.” Cantrelle’s technical skills earned him a spot as a state finalist in the technical division of the Presidential Scholars program.
Cantrelle’s talents extended far beyond academics. He was also a regional champion in tennis. His mom started teaching him tennis when he was eight. He started on the school team as a freshman, and by his sophomore year he was number one on the team. “I put in a lot of work going into sophomore year,” he said. “I didn’t really know if I belonged at the top of my game, you know. But then getting those achievements, all of that went away.”
Cantrelle’s innovation also shone in unexpected ways. He had an important role in school pep rallies (动员会) — he was the host. He was given the work after his review of school lunches on TikTok gained a wide audience. One video earned over 80,000 views. “I started it just to let other students know what was for lunch, and if you should wait in line for it,” he said.
“And it grew very, very quickly.” “As much as I have complained about it in the past, and probably will complain about it in the future, I definitely wouldn’t have done it any differently,” he joked.
Cantrelle’s diverse talents in academics, sports, and innovation make him a role model, and a bright future surely awaits him.
4. What did Cantrelle gain from HHS and the Satellite Center
A. College degrees. B. Artistic skills.
C. Sports awards. D. Industry certifications.
5. Why was taking the instrumentation course a turning-point for Cantrelle
A. It earned him his state finalist spot.
B. It made him love electrical work.
C. It improved his teamwork skills.
D. It helped him make new friends.
6. What key factor led Cantrelle to top the school tennis team
A. Natural talent.
B. His constant commitment.
C. School’s training.
D. His mom’s teaching.
7. What do we know about Cantrelle
A. He was outgoing and had a sense of inquiry.
B. He was energetic and had a sense of adventure.
C. He was hardworking and had a spirit of creativity.
D. He was determined and showed a spirit of service.

In a paper in the journal BioScience, researchers put forward an innovative plan: sending a box filled with cryo-preserved (低温保存的) cells from diverse animal species to a shadowed region on the moon. The natural cold there can keep the samples frozen, aiming to create a bio-repository (生物库) for long-term species conservation.
The idea of a biodiversity repository has been incubated for decades. Lead author Mary Hagedorn, a senior research scientist, has spent 20 years on coral cryo-preservation. A lunar bio-repository would extend this idea to a wider range of animals, possibly including endangered species and culturally important animals. Cryo-preserved cells must be at minus 196°C. On Earth, maintaining this temperature requires liquid nitrogen, electricity, and human supervision (监督). Any disruption (中断) can endanger the samples. In contrast, the permanently shadowed regions on the moon may offer a stable, cold environment without the need for artificial cooling.
The scientists draw inspiration from the Global Seed Vault in Norway. There, more than one million seed samples are preserved underneath the permafrost, which naturally cools them. However, in 2017, it was flooded due to climate-change-related permafrost melting (融化), showing that Earth’s storage sites are weak.
Storing cells on the moon, however, also poses challenges. With only a thin atmosphere, the moon is exposed to solar and cosmic radiation that can degrade DNA. Additionally, lunar dust, which sticks to everything, is another potential concern.
So far, the researchers have successfully cryo-preserved skin samples of the starry goby, a fish for coral reef health. They hope to attract new partners by publicizing their idea. They’ve applied for a spot on a 2025 NASA flight to test the radiation exposure of cryo-preserved cells.
Some experts question the move of the lunar bio-repository, arguing that it’s costly and may shift resources from ongoing conservation efforts. But Hagedorn believes that the current situation on Earth urgently calls for such a biodiversity repository, which is another way to protect Earth’s precious biodiversity.
8. Why do researchers want to create a lunar bio-repository
A. To test cryo-preservation tech.
B. To collect diverse animal cells.
C. To study the lunar environment.
D. To protect Earth’s biodiversity.
9. What does the underlined word “incubated” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Hidden. B. Developed.
C. Repeated. D. Challenged.
10. What can we infer from the example of the Global Seed Vault
A. Permafrost is a safe cooling material.
B. Norway has advanced storage technology.
C. Earth’s storage sites are not always reliable.
D. Climate change is the main threat to seed storage.
11. What’s Hagedorn’s attitude towards the lunar bio-repository
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Indifferent. D. Opposed.
D
When a duck sails across the surface of a pond, it may appear to be effortlessly moving across the water, but in fact, its hidden feet are working overtime to keep it above water. It is this contrast of outward calm and hidden effort that inspired the term “floating duck syndrome (综合症)”. Beyond the name, it has very little to do with ducks. It is a phenomenon where individuals publicly display their achievements while hiding the hard work and struggles that underlie them.
Scientists recently conducted a study to explore this phenomenon, its consequences, and possible solutions. In modern work and school settings, it’s common for people to take on too many tasks but receive insufficient rewards. This imbalance between effort and reward can lead to various negative outcomes, including burnout, anxiety, and even physical diseases.
Attempting to explain how this gap arises, the researchers investigated “floating duck syndrome”. The social pressure makes people celebrate their successes while hiding the hard effort. As a result, others underestimate the effort required to achieve goals. This leads individuals to over-invest their total effort and spread it across too many activities, reducing the success rate of each activity and creating an effort-reward imbalance.
To illustrate this, the researchers built a mathematical model of social learning, using students’ activity choices as a case study. In a situation where people lack full knowledge of the effort needed for success, visibility biases (偏差), such as those who seem to achieve perfection easily, make individuals expect greater rewards for their efforts than they actually get.
These findings are crucial as modern life demands that we divide our time and energy among different aspects like school, work, family, and leisure. How we distribute our resources and the resulting rewards have a far-reaching impact on our well-being.
To address “floating duck syndrome,” we need to stop downplaying the effort in social learning and promote a culture of openness about our achievements and setbacks. This way, we can better understand the work required and avoid overextending ourselves in the pursuit of an unrealistic ideal.
12. What does “floating duck syndrome” in the passage refer to
A. A syndrome that causes physical diseases in individuals.
B. A social pressure that makes people over-invest in work.
C. A phenomenon where ducks swim effortlessly on the water.
D. A situation where people show achievements but hide efforts.
13. What can we infer from the study about the effort-reward imbalance
A. It is mainly caused by the lack of social support.
B. It results from people’s underestimation of effort.
C. It can be avoided by reducing the number of tasks.
D. It has no significant impact on people’s well-being.
14 What can we infer from the mathematical model about visibility biases
A. They cause higher reward expectations.
B. They make people over-estimate effort.
C They help people achieve goals easily.
D. They increase the success rate of activities.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How to Achieve a Better Effort-Reward Balance
B. The Negative Effects of Over-investing in Tasks
C. Floating Duck Syndrome: The Hidden Effort Behind Apparent Success
D. Social Learning: A Misleading Focus in Floating Duck Syndrome Analysis

47. 阅读下面有关《弗兰肯斯坦》的材料，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。
I was described by Frankenstein, my creator, in his black book as follows: “I saw the monster two and a half meters tall that with such endless work I had tried to create. His yellow skin just covered the muscles and veins beneath; He had watery eyes, a lined face and straight black lips. Horror and disgust filled my heart.”
To forget about his creation, Frankenstein escaped and turned me away. I started my long wandering journey, suffering enough. I remembered too well my treatments from people, some screaming and fainting on seeing me, some making a quick “flight”, and others even attacking me. I knew that was just because of my hideous figure, but I did not yet entirely knew its fatal effects before my interview with the family of an old blind man, his son Felix and daughter Agatha.
I hid myself in a hovel (棚屋) joining the cottage of the family and watched them secretly through a gap in the wall, learning from them the art of their language. Every day, Agatha was occupied in arranging the cottage. Then she gave her father a guitar. He began to play while she sang. Soon, Felix returned, bearing his shoulders a load of wood for use. Supper prepared, the family sat down to eat, enjoying one another’s company.
They were not entirely happy. Felix and Agatha often went apart and wept. Later I discovered one of the causes: it was poverty and hunger. They barely made enough to get by. I felt ashamed that I had sometimes stolen a part of their store for my own consumption. I had to find some means through which I was enabled to assist their labors.
My beloved cottagers’ gentle manners struck me. I greatly longed to join them. Seeing that the poor who stopped at their door were never driven away, I felt the hope was burning in my heart and decided to meet the blind man at the cottage first for his favor and love before introducing myself to the young protectors. I was waiting for a moment of trial.

1.续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】
Then came the chance on a sunny winter afternoon. Felix and Agatha went out for some work, leaving the old blind man alone at home. I took a deep breath and walked into the cottage. The old man greeted me warmly. I started to tell him about my admiration for their family and my willingness to help. Just as I was beginning to feel hopeful, Felix and Agatha rushed back. At the sight of me, Felix attacked me with a stick. I had no choice but to flee from the cottage.
Painful and worried, I escaped into my hovel, reflecting my efforts and rewards. I realized that my ugly appearance was a barrier to people’s acceptance. All my attempts at kindness had been rebuffed, and I was extremely disappointed and angry. From that moment on, my heart was filled with an all-consuming hatred. I firmly believed that Frankenstein was the root cause of all my sufferings, so I decided to take revenge on him, who had created me and brought me into this painful world.
