The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories.
Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside, the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul. Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college and landed a rewarding career.
Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. In September, I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and drove to the Friday night opening reception.
However, on the night, people greeted me politely, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time. Was I at the wrong reunion No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons and living in Seattle. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers.
It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive.
Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.
I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.
24．Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion
A．To meet her old teachers. B．To prove her career success.
C．To apologize for past misunderstandings. D．To confront hurtful boys and show her worth.
25．What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion
A．Confused and sad. B．Angry and proud.
C．Relieved and confident. D．Disappointed and regretful.
26．What can we learn from this passage
A．The author fought against her bullies directly. B．The reunion attendees were mostly strangers.
C．The author’s career success healed her pain. D．The instructor’s compliment was first truly embraced.
27．Which is the best title for the passage
A．The Power of Letting Go B．A Surprising Reunion Letter
C．Finding Friends in Strangers D．The Painful High School Years
C
Farming is damaging the planet. But there could be a much more environmentally friendly way to feed ourselves: using renewable energy to turn carbon dioxide (CO ) into food.
“This is becoming a reality,” says Pasi Vainikka at Solar Foods. The company is building the first working factory, near Helsinki in Finland, which will be able to make food directly from CO . It will produce 100 tonnes per year, enough for 4 or 5 million meals, he says. “We are a bit behind schedule, but production may start just about in 2023,” says Vainikka.
At the factory, renewable electricity will be used to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. The hydrogen will be added to large containers, where the bacteria grow. Some of the CO will, be caught directly from the air at a visitor centre at the factory, Vainikka says, and the rest will come from industrial sources. The end result will be a yellow powder called Solein that is made of bacterial cells and is up to 70 percent protein. It can be used as an ingredient in all kinds of foods, from meat alternatives to snacks.
Solein was approved as a food ingredient in Singapore in October2022, and Solar Foods is awaiting approval in the UK, the European Union and the US.
Compared with plant crops, Solein will use 100 times less water per kilogram of protein produced, 20 times less land and give off a fifth as much CO , according to Solar pared with beef, a kilogram of protein can be produced using 600 times less water and 200 times less land while giving off 200 times less CO , says the company. There are other benefits, too: factories could be situated anywhere in the world and production won’t be affected by weather extremes.
“With Solar Foods and other companies expanding their systems, this is truly introducing a new era of agriculture,” says Dorian Leger at Connectomix Bio in Germany. “I think these trends are exciting and will help improve global food security while reducing carbon output.”
28．What does Vainikka’s company plan to do
A．Generate green energy. B．Fight against water pollution.
C．Produce a food ingredient from CO . D．Prepare meals for factory workers.
29．What do we know about Solein according to the text
A．It contains a significant amount of protein. B．It has been approved in the UK.
C．It comes from industrial waste. D．It is a kind of bacteria.
30．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Solein
A．Its environmental problems. B．Its noticeable advantages.
C．Its production process. D．Its demanding needs.
31．What does Leger think of producing Solein
A．It depends on support from global companies. B．It can help feed people around the world.
C．It can replace traditional agriculture. D．It is already reducing air pollution.
D
Established earthquake warning systems provide at best just a minute or two of notice, leaving little time for preparedness. Decades of searching for a better warning sign-changes in the geochemistry of groundwater, electromagnetic effects in the upper atmosphere, and even changes in animal behavior-have failed. Many question whether such a precursor (先兆) even exists. This situation may change soon, as recent research is providing a glimmer of hope for improved earthquake prediction.
Researchers Quentin Bletery and Jean-Mathieu Nocquet from Cote d’Azur University in France collected data from over 90 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 7 that had occurred in the past two decades.They focused on GPS station records near these quakes, which accurately captured land movement every 5 minutes with millimeter precision. They analyzed more than 3,000 time series of motion in the 48 hours leading up to the main ruptures (断裂).
They noticed that, in the first 46 hours, the records showed no significant features. However, during the 2 hours before the earthquake, they noticed signs of increasing movement along the fault zones (断层带). Essentially, there’s a slip between plates causing the land above them to move in a measurable, horizontal direction.
Could this be just a coincidence The probability of this increase happening just before the quake and being unrelated is extremely low, and the researchers confirmed this by analyzing 100,000 random time windows in non-earthquake GPS data. The pattern occurred only 0.03% of the time in non-earthquake data.
While this precursor signal won’t be used for warnings anytime soon, officials from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) admit that this new study provides valuable insights into how to improve their warning systems-GPS data can grease the wheels of early earthquake warnings.
The researchers admit there are still a number of steps away from putting this precursor signal into use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires more GPS stations. But the biggest problem is that many of the world’s earthquake regions have no instrumentation. “We can’t realize the detection at the scale of one earthquake, so we cannot make predictions,” Bletery said.
32．What remains a tough problem for scientists
A．Determining the magnitude of an earthquake.
B．Finding a way to detect earthquakes in early stages.
C．Measuring atmospheric changes during earthquakes.
D．Identifying animals’ possible responses to earthquakes.
33．What did the researchers find through their data analysis
A．The chance of main ruptures occurring in fault zones.
B．The accuracy of GPS in recording land movement.
C．The existence of a two-hour precursory phase.
D．The horizontal slip within the first 46 hours.
34．What does the underlined part “grease the wheels of” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Distinguish. B．Contradict. C．Overmatch. D．Facilitate.
35．What holds back the practical application of the new findings
A．The inaccessibility of precursor signals. B．The complexity of updating GPS equipment.
C．The challenge of identifying earthquake regions. D．The inconsistent slip patterns of different earthquakes.

Extreme heat can kill people, even though most of the deaths are preventable. It is reported that in the 24 years between 1979 and 2003 more people died in the United States of extreme heat than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes, 36 The golden rules are to drink plenty of water, dress in cool clothes and stay in the shade if possible.
37 . Often after many months without rain, single spark is all that is necessary to create a big fire. Wildfires can move at great speed and will destroy everything in their path. They can quickly change direction, which makes it very difficult for someone on the ground to escape. 38 , great damage can be caused in a short time. In 2010 such fires in Russia killed 62 people and destroyed about 23, 000 square kilometers. A recent UN report suggests that the growing number of wildfires around the world may be contributing to global warming. Very often you can see such a terrible circle! 39 . Climate change causes drought; drought causes wildfires; and wildfires cause further climate change.
It is clear that the world is getting warmer. 40 , but it is reasonable to assume that this process is being speeded up by mankind’s release into the atmosphere of large amounts of greenhouse gas.
A．How can we survive it
B．Extreme heat can also bring wildfires
C．This is probably due to a natural process
D．Very often you can see such a terrible circle
E．It is also reasonable to realize the man’s effect on the world’s weather
F．How can people predict extreme heat according to the climate change
G．If quick action is not taken

Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast 41 places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 42 . The word geography comes from two Greek 43 , ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein, which means “to write”. The English word geography 44 “to describe the earth.” Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 45 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole 46 . Another way to 47 the study of geography is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former 48 on the natural world; the latter starts with human beings and 49 how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 50 branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be 51 as one who observes, records, and explains the 52 between places. If all places were 53 , there would be little need for geographers. We know, 54 that no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a 55 way of looking at places.

China has become the first country to land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon. The unmanned Chang’e-4 probe (探测器) — the name was inspired by an ancient Chinese moon goddess 56 (touch) down last week in the South Pole-Aitken basin. Landing on the moon’s far side is 57 (extreme) challenging. Because the moon’s body blocks direct radio communication with a probe, China first had to put a satellite in orbit above the moon in a spot 58 it could send signals to the spacecraft and to Earth. The far side of the moon is of particular 59 (interesting) to scientists because it has a lot of deep craters (环形山), more so 60 the familiar near side. Chinese researchers hope to use the instruments onboard Chang’e-4 61 (find) and study areas of the South Pole-Aitken basin. “This really excites scientists,” Carle Pieters, a scientist 62 (work) at Brown University, says, “because it 63 (mean) we have the chance to obtain information about how the moon 64 (construct).” Data about the moon’s composition, such as how much ice and other treasures it contains, could help China decide whether 65 (it) plans for a future lunar (月球的) base are practical.

67．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。
It was a warm spring afternoon, and the sun cast a golden hue (色调) over the small town of Willow Creek. The city’s annual art exhibition was going on, and the visitors were discussing the works with excitement. Among them was Emily, a talented artist. She appreciated the pictures with her heart pounding in her chest.
Emily had always been passionate about painting since young. Over the years, her talent had bloomed, and her pictures had become a reflection of her soul — full of life and emotion. Each brushstroke (笔画) was a whisper of her thoughts, a secret shared with the world. Today, she exhibited a painting of her grandmother, a woman who had shaped her life with love and care. The painting was a reminder of the impact her grandmother had on her life, a symbol of the bond that would never fade.
As the exhibition continued, Emily watched with nervous anticipation as people moved around the room, admiring various works. Emily searched their faces for a reaction, her heart jumping when she saw a smile or a nod of appreciation. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out, “Emily, this is wonderful! Your grandmother looks so alive on this picture.” It was her art teacher, Mr. Smith, standing before her painting with a look of genuine admiration. His words filled her with a sense of achievement and relief.
The rest of the afternoon passed soon. More praises came her way. But it was the elderly man who caught her attention. He stood before her painting for what seemed like a century, his eyes misty with memories. When he finally spoke, his offer took her by surprise. “This painting reminds me so much of my late grandmother. I would like to make you an offer. Would you consider selling this painting to me ”

67．At that moment, Emily hesitated. What should she do She couldn’t imagine parting with the painting that held so many precious memories of her grandma. However, the thought of the old man’s sense of loss also upset her. Emily stood there, her gaze fixed on her painting. She recalled her grandmother’s warm smile and the love she had shown to her throughout her life. After a while, she turned to the old man, “I... I’m sorry,” she stammered, “I’m afraid I could not offer it to you.” The man nodded his head, forcing a smile and walked out of the exhibition room, a sense of loss spreading across his face.
Seeing the man leaving disappointedly, Emily made a new decision. She took down the picture, ran to the elderly man and spoke to him, “I’ve decided to offer you the painting.” Hearing the words, the man’s eyes widened with astonishment, “You mean it ” he asked, his voice trembling with emotion. Emily nodded her head firmly. Tears running down his face, the man reached out and took Emily’s hand tightly. “Thank you. This means the world to me.” Emily smiled, her heart filled with joy. It dawned on her that art not only has the power to create beauty but also conveys emotions and builds connections.
