Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after hard work. But what makes you is not your 16___ , but how you get back up after being 17___ . Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and it was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had 18___ the lower half of his body. Even if he were to 19___ , he would be lame throughout his life.
But the brave boy did not want to die 20___ did he want to be lame. Much to the 21___ of the doctor, he did survive. But 22___ from his waist down, he had no motor ability.

On a sunny Sunday morning, I went to my first ballet class. But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on Stage, a rare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class. I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’re made.
Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. While watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝) with complete control was calming, watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn’t follow, and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class. I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort.
As I headed home, I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life. So much has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them.
With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay.
Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it.
41. Which statement accurately describes the ballet class mentioned in the passage
A．The writer actively took part in dancing.
B．The dancers didn’t look exhausted despite the physicality.
C．The warm-up session lasted only 45 minutes that morning.
D．The writer could follow the directions throughout the session.
42. How did the author feel when the ballet class ended
A．She was amazed by how hard the dancers worked.
B．She regretted not putting more effort into ballet.
C．She believed she could face life’s difficulties better.
D．She felt embarrassed about her own lack of determination.
43. By mentioning the technology that has made life easier, the writer means that ________.
A．Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks
B．Using technology helps improve work efficiency
C．A simple life requires rejecting modern tools
D．Technology’s convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges
44. What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson
A．Fitness classes build both body and mind strength.
B．We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement.
C．Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them.
D．Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves.
45. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Fitness classes are of no significance.
B．Only through taking part in ballet can one truly change.
C．Observing others’ commitment can inspire personal growth.
D．Fitness classes are essential for everyone’s life improvement.
C
Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climate change. Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage.
To design these climate-saving plants, the scientists are using a research tool called SLEAP — an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth. Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. Now, Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants.
In a study published in Plant Phenomics, Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes — how deep and wide they grow, how massive their root systems become, and other physical qualities. Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process. SLEAP uses computer vision (the ability for computers to understand images) and deep learning (an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain) to help researchers process images much more quickly.
The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (目录) of plant root phenotypes to date. What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs.
“Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,” says Pereira. “We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.”
46. What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve
A．Reducing carbon absorption. B．Optimizing the use of energy.
C．Enhancing biological diversity. D．Keeping more carbon in plants.
47. Why did Pereira create SLEAP
A．To conduct research on animals. B．To generate plant images.
C．To study climate patterns. D．To track features of root growth.
48. What will SLEAP help the scientists do
A．Pick out diseased plants in the forest. B．Collect samples of plant root systems.
C．Identify genes for desirable plant roots. D．Preserve the genes of endangered plants.
49. What can be inferred from Pereira’s words
A．Academic disciplines are of equal importance.
B．Computer programming is a must for scientists.
C．Cooperation outweighs competition in research.
D．Interdisciplinary approach promotes creativity.
50. Before SLEAP appeared, why was the scientific process slow
A．Because there were not enough qualified researchers.
B．Because tracking biological characteristics cost much labor.
C．Because deep learning technology was not available.
D．Because plant root phenotypes were difficult to record.
D 阅读表达
Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish.
She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.
My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.
About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions.
In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s ”
“Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”
“Try what ”
“Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”
Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with her French. “Age is just another bother attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said.
51. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2 (no more than 2 words)
52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3 (no more than 10 words)
53. Why did the author’s grandmother recycle the same answers to his questions (no more than 10 words)
54. How can people be successful in old age according to the author’s grandmother (no more than 10 words)
55. In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life (no more than 20 words)

Dear organizers,
I’m Li Hua, president of the Chinese Language and Culture Society. I’m writing to apply for a booth at the upcoming International Cultural Festival. We’d like to name our booth Chinese Tea Art Show.
We have made careful arrangements for the activity. First, we will show different kinds of traditional Chinese tea and introduce tea culture to visitors. Besides, some members will perform standard tea-making skills on site. What’s more, visitors can taste various tea for free and communicate with us.
We believe our booth will help more students know about Chinese culture. I would appreciate it if you could approve our application.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
