Jessica Watkins is the first Black woman to live and work on the International Space Station (ISS). After a program at Sally Ride elementary School, young Jessica Watkins realized what she wanted to do when she grew up: study the geology (地质学) of other planets. Then, at 33 years old, Watkins trained for a mission to do just that.
This April, Watkins became the first Black woman to live and work on the ISS for an extended task. She arrived there onboard a SpaceX capsule (太空舱) and then would spend six months on the ISS as part of a program called Artemis, a multi-billion-dollar effort designed to return humans to the surface of the moon in 2025.
Watkins would cover a lot of ground on her mission: earth and space science, biological science and human research into things like the effects of long spaceflight for humans. Over the course of her six-month mission, Watkins would also observe and photograph geological changes on Earth. Before her journey, Watkins said she had done training on the systems of the International Space Station and how to fix anything if it isn’t working properly. She had also practiced walking in space by wearing a large white suit in an underwater ISS model that’s housed in a giant pool.
Watkins said the journey to space has wide-ranging significance on everything from medical research “with direct impacts (影响) into our daily lives,” to international cooperation. “We are all coming together to accomplish this really hard thing that none of us would be able to do on our own,” Watkins said, “I think that is just such a beautiful picture of what we can all do if we come together and put all of our resources and skill sets together.”
4. What was Jessica Watkins’ dream at school
A. Researching the space. B. Starting a program about space.
C. Studying the geology of the earth. D. Living and working on the ISS.
5. What’s the purpose of Artemis
A. To help Watkins realize her dream. B. To bring humans back to the moon.
C. To train Watkins to work on the ISS. D. To spend the multi-billion dollars properly.
6. How did Watkins prepare for her task
A. She covered a lot of ground like space science.
B. She observed and photographed changes on Earth.
C. She learned how to fix anything that might go wrong.
D. She practiced walking in space by walking in a giant pool.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Watkins will finish her task on her own.
B. The journey to space is too hard to achieve.
C. Watkins thinks highly of the journey to space.
D. The cooperation of countries means little to the task.
C
For those who care about the future of elephants on the African continent, the decision to allow the importation (进口) of elephant products is the right one. Although the controversy may still exist, allowing these imports is the very best thing we can do to save elephants.
Africa is an amazing place, and all those who visit the continent come away truly inspired by its endless beauty, its diverse people, and the remarkable wildlife. In some areas of the continent, however, the African elephant is in trouble. Driven largely by international ivory trade, illegal hunting has reduced the population of the elephants in some countries, especially those where well-regulated hunting has not been accepted. In other countries, where hunting has provided the incentive (激励) for protecting the herd, the population is healthy.
In Zimbabwe and Zambia, for example, government wildlife biologists have determined that hunting is a necessary part of their management plan, and have successfully carried out such programs to maintain a healthy population.
In addition to illegal hunting, elephants are seen by many residents as a trouble to crops, and in some cases, a dangerous threat to individuals and their families. These are the challenges elephants face every day.
In fact, when one understands how hunting contributes to preservation, just the opposite is true: allowing imports actually protects elephants.
Hunting provides the financial resources that allow game managers in Africa to carry out anti-poaching (反偷猎) programs, to protect elephant herds. Hunting dollars also provide a clear incentive for local residents to accept elephant preservation, instead of viewing them as direct competitors or a trouble. Having local residents on board is critical to elephant protection, and it is only with local help that illegal hunting can be stopped. In short, when well-regulated hunting is accepted, the full protection of elephants is possible.
8. Why is the African elephant in trouble in some countries
A. They are losing their habitats. B. They are hunted for ivory.
C. They lack enough food and water. D. They are killed for meat and skin.
9. What can we learn from the passage
A. Some locals see elephants as a trouble to their lives.
B. Importing elephant products may threaten African elephants.
C. Elephant population has been decreasing in all African countries.
D. Hunting elephants is totally forbidden by Zimbabwe and Zambia governments.
10. What’s the author’s attitude toward well-regulated hunting elephants in Africa
A. Uncertain. B. Critical. C. Favourable. D. Dissatisfied.
11. Where does the passage probably come from
A. Travel guide. B. Foreign literature. C. Online post. D. A science report.
D
It isn’t just the beauty of vast natural wonders like the Grand Canyon that can take your breath away. You can find awe (敬畏) in everyday things. A new research, published in the journal Emotion, found that older adults who took “awe walks” felt more positive emotions in their daily lives.
In the study, 52 older adults aged 60 to 90 were divided randomly into two groups. They were told to take at least one 15-minute walk each week for eight weeks. Volunteers in the “awe group” were instructed in how to inspire awe as they walked. “We asked them to try to see the world with fresh eyes—to take in new details of a leaf or flower, for example,” Sturm says. For example, one participant from the awe group wrote about “the beautiful fall colors and how the leaves were no longer crunchy (嘎吱响) underfoot because of the rain”—the wonder that small children feel as they embrace (拥抱) their expanding world. However, people in the other group were less focused on the world around them. One participant wrote, “I thought about our vacation in Hawaii next Thursday.”
In addition, participants were asked to take selfies in the beginning, middle, and end of each walk. Researchers found that participants who took awe walks showed a “small self”, in which they filled less of their photographs with their own image and more with the background scenery. “When we feel awe, our attention shifts from focusing on ourselves to focusing on the world around us,” Sturm says. “Awe affects our social relationships because it helps us to feel more connected with the world, universe, and other people.” Their smiles also grew broader by the end of the study. “We analyzed the degrees of their smiles in the selfies, and participants who took awe walks displayed greater smiles over time than those who took control walks. The former reported greater positive emotions in general, including more joy and gratitude.”
Participants in the control group took more frequent walks than those people in the awe group, the researchers discovered. But walking more didn’t result in positive changes in emotional health or in the way their selfies were taken. This suggests that the results were mainly due to experiencing awe, and not just in spending time exercising.
12. What were participants in the “awe group” required to do in Paragraph 2
A. To take a walk each week. B. To focus on their inner world.
C. To collect leaves after the rain. D. To explore with childlike curiosity.
13. What can we see in the selfies from the awe walks
A. Close-up images with wide smiles. B. More attention to themselves.
C. Merely the background scenery. D. Small figures with bigger smiles.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Experiencing awe matters. B. More walks, more joy.
C. Exercises can benefit us. D. Awe comes with walking.
15. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Awe Walks Promote Your Physical Fitness. B. Experiencing Awe Does Wonders for Everyone.
C. Awe Walks Improve Your Positive Emotions. D. Frequent Walks Contribute to Emotional Health.

On a cold winter day, Li Ming found an injured puppy on his way home from school. The puppy was curled (蜷缩) up beside a snow pile, shaking, with its hind leg seemingly hurt and its tiny body shaking from the cold. Li Ming bent down and gently touched the puppy’s head, noticing the fear and helplessness in its eyes. He felt a burst of sadness and knew he couldn’t leave the little creature there. Immediately, he took off his scarf (围巾), carefully covered the puppy, and held it in his arms.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you,” Li Ming said softly, trying to comfort the shaking puppy. He decided to take the puppy home, even though he knew his parents might not agree to keep a pet. As he walked, he thought about how to convince his parents. “Maybe if I show them how much I care, they’ll understand,” he said to himself.
When he arrived home, Li Ming quietly carried the puppy to his room. He dried its body with a towel (毛巾), making sure to be extra gentle around the injured leg. Then, he found some old clothes and made a plain bed for the puppy in the corner of his room. The puppy seemed to relax a little, its shaking dying. Li Ming also gave it some water and a small piece of bread, which the puppy ate eagerly, wagging its tail (摇尾巴) weakly.
That night, Li Ming lay in bed, staring at the ceiling (天花板), filled with worry. He didn’t know how serious the puppy’s injury was or how his parents would react. He imagined different situations — some where his parents criticized him, others where they allowed him to keep the puppy. But no matter what, he knew he couldn’t give up this poor little life. As he dropped off to sleep, he dreamed of the puppy running happily in a sunny field, its tail wagging joyfully.
Para 1. The next morning, Li Ming woke up to find the puppy missing from its bed.

For those who care about the future of elephants on the African continent, the decision to allow the importation (进口) of elephant products is the right one. Although the controversy may still exist, allowing these imports is the very best thing we can do to save elephants.
Africa is an amazing place, and all those who visit the continent come away truly inspired by its endless beauty, its diverse people, and the remarkable wildlife. In some areas of the continent, however, the African elephant is in trouble. Driven largely by international ivory trade, illegal hunting has reduced the population of the elephants in some countries, especially those where well-regulated hunting has not been accepted. In other countries, where hunting has provided the incentive (激励) for protecting the herd, the population is healthy.
In Zimbabwe and Zambia, for example, government wildlife biologists have determined that hunting is a necessary part of their management plan, and have successfully carried out such programs to maintain a healthy population.
In addition to illegal hunting, elephants are seen by many residents as a trouble to crops, and in some cases, a dangerous threat to individuals and their families. These are the challenges elephants face every day.
In fact, when one understands how hunting contributes to preservation, just the opposite is true: allowing imports actually protects elephants.
Hunting provides the financial resources that allow game managers in Africa to carry out anti-poaching (反偷猎) programs, to protect elephant herds. Hunting dollars also provide a clear incentive for local residents to accept elephant preservation, instead of viewing them as direct competitors or a trouble. Having local residents on board is critical to elephant protection, and it is only with local help that illegal hunting can be stopped. In short, when well-regulated hunting is accepted, the full protection of elephants is possible.
8. Why is the African elephant in trouble in some countries
A. They are losing their habitats. B. They are hunted for ivory.

Last Saturday, our school launched a “Green Future” environmental campaign on the campus lawn, drawing more than 150 participants including students and teachers.
The day was packed with eco-friendly activities: we divided into groups to pick up litter in the school garden and nearby community; a biology teacher gave a lecture on reducing plastic waste, showing us how to make cloth bags from old clothes; we also held a “green pledge” ceremony where everyone promised to save electricity and plant a tree annually.
The activity won warm feedback. It deepened our understanding of environmental protection and inspired us to take small but consistent steps. As a participant put it, “Every green choice brings us closer to a sustainable future.”

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
On a cold winter day, Li Ming found an injured puppy on his way home from school. The puppy was curled (蜷缩) up beside a snow pile, shaking, with its hind leg seemingly hurt and its tiny body shaking from the cold. Li Ming bent down and gently touched the puppy’s head, noticing the fear and helplessness in its eyes. He felt a burst of sadness and knew he couldn’t leave the little creature there. Immediately, he took off his scarf (围巾), carefully covered the puppy, and held it in his arms.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you,” Li Ming said softly, trying to comfort the shaking puppy. He decided to take the puppy home, even though he knew his parents might not agree to keep a pet. As he walked, he thought about how to convince his parents. “Maybe if I show them how much I care, they’ll understand,” he said to himself.
When he arrived home, Li Ming quietly carried the puppy to his room. He dried its body with a towel (毛巾), making sure to be extra gentle around the injured leg. Then, he found some old clothes and made a plain bed for the puppy in the corner of his room. The puppy seemed to relax a little, its shaking dying. Li Ming also gave it some water and a small piece of bread, which the puppy ate eagerly, wagging its tail (摇尾巴) weakly.
That night, Li Ming lay in bed, staring at the ceiling (天花板), filled with worry. He didn’t know how serious the puppy’s injury was or how his parents would react. He imagined different situations — some where his parents criticized him, others where they allowed him to keep the puppy. But no matter what, he knew he couldn’t give up this poor little life. As he dropped off to sleep, he dreamed of the puppy running happily in a sunny field, its tail wagging joyfully.

【答案】
The next morning, Li Ming woke up to find the puppy missing from its bed. Panicked, he rushed out of his room, only to see his parents standing in the living room, their expressions unreadable. His heart sank as he noticed the puppy curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket. His father cleared his throat and said, “We found it this morning. Why didn’t you tell us ” Li Ming hesitated, then explained how he had found the puppy and couldn’t bear to leave it in the cold. To his surprise, his mother sighed and said, “We understand, but you should have told us sooner. We’ll take it to the vet today.” Relief washed over Li Ming as he realized his parents weren’t angry — they were concerned. Thanks to everyone’s care, the puppy began to regain its strength.
A few days later, the puppy’s condition gradually improved. Something unexpected happened that changed everything. The vet had confirmed the puppy’s leg was sprained but would heal with care. Li Ming’s parents, seeing how devoted he was to the little dog, started to warm up to the idea of keeping it. One evening, as the puppy playfully chased a ball in the living room, Li Ming’s father smiled and said, “Maybe having a pet isn’t such a bad idea after all.” From then on, the puppy became a beloved member of the family, bringing joy and laughter to their home. Li Ming couldn’t have been happier — his act of kindness had not only saved a life but also brought his family closer together.
