I first encountered tai chi in Ottawa’s Chinatown. Men and women gathered in loose formation. Their actions combined to achieve a meditative (冥想的) dance. I was amazed by its beauty and grace. It was like watching a water lily opening.
Yet I couldn’t see the point. I could achieve my fitness goals from exercise classes, swimming and cycling — and moving so slowly didn’t seem to build muscle, my objective for all activities. I chose only to admire this martial art (武术) but kept my distance.
Years later, a recommendation from my doctor brought me to a training group for tai chi beginners led by a caring instructor. I had thought that my goal would be to master the 108 moves. Technically right, but wrong on so many counts.
The class was full of lovely people who glided effortlessly, seemingly never confused about where to move next. They assured me that they had been beginners once too, and that I would be able to remember all the moves within three or four years. Three to four years! Graduate degrees took less time. But I could see they were mit and improve: That was the only path.
Another realization came to me when I attended an advanced class. We began with foundation exercises, and almost immediately, the instructor singled me out for instruction. To be singled out was an honour, but I was mortified. All the others in the class stopped and turned to watch me while the instructor corrected my positioning. “Don’t bend, “he said, and I repeated the movement. “Straighten your back, “he urged, and on it went — probably for only a few minutes, but it seemed like hours.
I couldn’t say, “Yeah, I get it.” I had to show that I did. I concentrated as I had never done before, listening to what the instructor was saying, watching his movement and then willing my body to move in imitation. I was unlearning and learning, overcoming awkwardness to focus. I realized that I was learning a new way of being in the world—truly listening and open to correction.
I don’t know that I will ever master the 108 moves. What I do know is that I have found an activity in my life where change and growth are not just possible but expected, even when my stubborn (固执的) personality tendencies re-emerge at every turn.
56．What was the author’s first impression of tai chi
A．Pleasant to the eye but not of much use. B．Too slow to be regarded as a martial art.
C．Helpful in accomplishing fitness goals. D．Mysterious and difficult to master.
57．In the beginners’ class, the author realized that mastering tai chi required_________.
A．discipline B．leadership C．persistence D．teamwork
58．What does the underlined word “mortified” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Angered B．Confused C．Disappointed D．Embarrassed
59．How did the author respond to the instructions in the advanced class
A．She denied her weaknesses and carried on.
B．She stayed focused and followed attentively.
C．She worked hard and displayed her talent.
D．She opened up her mind and sought advice.
60．Which of the following can be concluded from the author’s experience
A．Tai chi empowers people to improve. B．Tai chi keeps the balance of the body.
C．Tai chi fires people’s passion for sports. D．Tai chi facilitates healthy relationships.
C
Biologists from the John Innes Centre in England discovered that plants have a biological process which divides their amount of stored energy by the length of the night. This solves the problem of how to portion out (分配) energy reserves during the night so that the plant can keep growing yet not risk burning off all its stored energy.
While the sun shines, plants perform photosynthesis (光合作用). In this process, the plants change sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into stored energy in the form of long chains of sugar, called starch(淀粉). At night, the plants burn this stored starch to fuel continued growth.
"The calculations are precise so that plants prevent starvation but also make the most efficient use of their food," said study co-author Alison Smith. "If the starch store is used too fast, plants will starve and stop growing during the night. If the store is used too slowly, some of it will be wasted."
The scientists studied the plant Arabidopsis, which is regarded as a model plant for experiments. To give the plants some math tests, the biologists let night arrive unexpectedly early or late for them.
During one of the exams, they shut off the lights early on them that had been grown with twelve-hour days and nights. Putting them into darkness after only an eight-hour day means they didn't have time to store as much starch as usual. And this forced the plants to adjust their normal nightly rhythm.
Amazingly, even after this day length trick, the plants did very well in their exams and ended up with just five percent of starch left over at the end of the night. They had neither starved, nor stored starch that could have been used to fuel more growth.
The authors suggested that similar biological calculators may explain how a migratory bird, the little stint, can make a five-thousand-kilometer journey to their summer habitat in the Arctic and arrive with enough fat reserves to survive only approximately half a day more, on average.
The results of the study were published in e Life.
61. According to the passage, plants ______.
A. use little energy during the day B. usually stop growing at night
C. waste a lot of energy at night D. store starch during the day
62. What did the scientists do when studying Arabidopsis
A. They changed the plant's light conditions.
B. They provided the plant with more starch.
C. They tried to keep the plant's natural rhythm.
D. They attached a biological calculator to the plant.
63. When morning arrived, the experimental plants ______.
A. nearly died of lack of food
B. used most of their stored energy
C. began to regulate their food store
D. stored enough starch for the next day
64. What can we learn about the little stint
A. They may have a system to control energy consumption.
B. They often die during their long and difficult journey.
C. They leave the Arctic in summer every year.
D. They are unable to calculate the distances.
65. The passage mainly tells us ______.
A. plants feel hungrier day by day
B. plants are good at storing energy
C. plants do math to survive the night
D. plants use starch to fuel their growth
D
In our success-obsessed culture, failure is often seen as a final destination, a mark of shame to be avoided at all costs. From a young age, we are taught to fear it, hide it, and race past it as quickly as possible. But what if we've been looking at failure all wrong A growing body of research in psychology and education suggests that failure, when approached correctly, is not a dead end but a critical crossroads on the path to growth and innovation.
The key lies in our mindset. Psychologist Carol Dweck's work on "fixed" versus "growth" mindsets is central here. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are carved in stone. For them, failure is a destructive decision on their inherent talent, leading to avoidance and helplessness. Those with a growth mindset, however, see abilities as muscles that can be developed. They interpret failure not as evidence of their inability, but as a valuable source of information—a signal that their current strategy isn't working and needs adjustment.
This reframing transforms failure from a threat into a teacher. In the scientific community, "negative results" — experiments that don't work as hypothesized（假定）— are increasingly published and valued because they tell future researchers what paths not to take, saving immense time and resources. Similarly, in the world of entrepreneurship（企业家精神）, seasoned founders often speak of their early failed ventures as their most formative education, teaching them lessons about markets, teams, and resilience（恢复力） that no business school case study could.
However, not all failure is productive. The learning potential of failure depends on the quality of the reflection that follows it. Simply repeating the same mistakes leads nowhere. Productive failure involves a deliberate process: analyzing what went wrong, identifying controllable factors, seeking feedback, and formulating a new plan of action. It requires emotional resilience to tolerate the discomfort of being wrong and the intellectual honesty to confront one's own shortcomings.
Ultimately, by devaluing failure, we risk raising a generation that is afraid to take necessary risks, think creatively, or challenge the status quo（现状）. If we want to promote true innovation and resilient individuals, we must cultivate environments—in schools, workplaces, and homes—where intelligent, effort-based failure is not just tolerated, but welcomed as an essential step in the learning process. The goal is not to fail, but to fail forward.
66. What is the main point of the first paragraph
A. To criticize society's overemphasis on success.
B. To introduce a new perspective on the role of failure.
C. To list the common consequences of failure.
D. To compare different cultural attitudes towards failure.
67. According to Carol Dweck's theory, how do people with a "growth mindset" view failure
A. As an opportunity to learn and improve their strategies.
B. As a permanent reflection of their intelligence.
C. As a sign that they should give up on their goals.
D. As a purely negative event to be forgotten quickly.
68.The author mentions "negative results" in scientific research and failed ventures in entrepreneurship to ____.
A. highlight the high cost of making mistakes in these fields
B. prove that failure is inevitable in any complex endeavor
C. illustrate how failure can provide instructive feedback
D. argue that these fields are more tolerant of failure than others
69.What determines whether a failure can lead to growth
A. The severity of the consequences.
B. The amount of time it takes to recover.
C. The quality of reflection and analysis after the event.
D. The number of people who witness it.
70.What is the author's ultimate advice for fostering innovation
A. To carefully avoid any potential risks.
B. To create environments that encourage learning from well-intentioned failure.
C. To only attempt tasks with a high probability of success.
D. To separate the learning process from the pressure of outcomes.

Eco City Farms is an educational nonprofit organization. It seeks to empower the community by teaching economic development, job training and a healthier way of living. The group has set up farms near automobile repair businesses and fast food stores in urban neighborhoods.
Social activist Margaret Morgan-Hubbard founded Eco City Farms. She says the lack of fresh produce is a major health problem for children and their families living in Maryland." What's critical is that 70 percent of the people in these towns are either overweight, have some illnesses, for example, diabetes, or have other kinds of diet-related ailments because they don't have access to healthy food."
Eco City Farms offers several programs for agriculture, food and finding jobs with environment-friendly businesses. People can also learn how to cook healthier foods and teach others how to prepare meals. On a recent day, Philip Sidibe demonstrated his cooking skills. He prepared Aloco, a popular food in Cameroon where he grew up. He and other young people not only cook their food, they also grow it in a large garden.
Tameka Barbour-Gaskins lives in Autumn Woods. She says her whole family is eating healthier meals because of the local produce." I like junk food. I like quick meals. Not easy to just go from eating a certain way all your life to switching over to being healthier…With the urban garden here, with my son learning, he can help me switch around my style of eating. I want a healthy family."
Margaret says the urban garden is an agent for change and the young people are its newest supporters. "Our program is about planting seeds. It's about planting seeds not just in the ground, but in other human beings so that the movement can grow and it's really exciting because these young people will be working with us throughout the year to help plan the actual farm and to finally own it."
71. What does Eco City Farms aim to （no more than 20 words）
72. What does the underlined word "ailments" in Paragraph 2 mean （one word）
73. According to Margaret, what leads to the major health problems of the people in these towns （no more than 10 words）
74. What does Tameka benefit from （no more than 5 words）
75. What do you think of Eco City Farms Why （no more than 25 words）

Good afternoon!
Nowadays the earth is facing serious environmental problems. Various pollution spreads widely and wild animals are losing their habitats rapidly, putting many species at risk.
To change the situation, effective measures are badly needed. First, we should choose green transport like walking or cycling instead of driving private cars. Besides, more nature reserves ought to be built to protect wildlife’s homes.
Small actions add up to big changes. Let’s take immediate steps to build a human community with a shared future and guard our greener earth.
Thank you!
Thank you!
