14-year-old Philo Farnsworth wasn’t looking up at the sky while plowing(犁) the field at his father’s farm. He was looking down at the straight furrows(沟) that coursed over the earth. That’s when he had a sudden insight: The same way the plow went back and forth over the field, an image could be scanned electronically and then transmitted(传输) line by line, much like furrows in a field. It was a vision of the first transmittable TV image.
Born in 1906 in a small apartment, he grew up in a family that moved constantly. His formal education was often interrupted, but he had something that couldn’t be taught in any classroom: an almost supernatural ability to see how things worked. By age 12, he had built an electric motor from scratch. At 13, he was repairing neighbors’ radios and electric appliances for pocket money. His teachers quickly realized they were dealing with something extraordinary.
He briefly attended college, but his mind was on television, and so he dropped out and began looking for somebody to fund his ideas. That opportunity came, and he traveled to Berkeley, California, to set up shop. The TV tube Philo then developed would become the standard in broadcasting. Yet Philo spent years defending his patent and rebuilding his business after an economic crash. Like all of us, he had his share of challenges, perhaps more. But he kept pushing forward and registered hundreds of patents. Finally, on July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11 onto the moon’s surface in an area called the Sea of Tranquility.
Philo Farnsworth was sitting in his living room with his wife Pem, watching the live feed—the image transmitting quickly, row by row like the furrows in a field. He turned to her and said: “Pem, this has made it all worthwhile.”
4. What was inspired by the furrows in the field
A. A type of farming equipment. B. A way of high production.
C. A model of a transmitter. D. A method of image transmission.
5. What aspect about Philo amazed his teachers
A. His devotion to science. B. His genius in engineering.
C. His expertise in finance. D. His popularity in the neighborhood.
6. Which of the following best summarizes Philo’s life in the 3rd paragraph
A. A hard-won victory over adversities.
B. A struggle against financial setbacks.
C. A leap from college dropout to celebrity.
D. A lifelong pursuit of academic excellence.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage
A. From Farm Boy to Wealthy Inventor B. Bring the Moon to Your Living Room
C. The Vision That Was Born on the Moon D. The Dropout Who Challenged the World
C
Nature words like river, moss and blossom have appeared less frequently in books over the past years. This decline, according to a study by professor Miles Richardson from the University of Derby, mirrors a broader change he has traced through 220 years of records on urbanisation, the loss of wildlife in neighbourhoods, and parents no longer passing on engagement with nature to their children.
The computer modelling in the study also predicts an “extinction of experience”, with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass on an “orientation(倾向)” towards the natural world. This is consistent with findings from other studies, which identify adult nature connectedness as the strongest predictor of whether a child will become close to nature.
Richardson said that when he tested policy and urban environmental changes in the model he was surprised at the scale of the changes required to restore the connection to nature. Increasing biodiverse green spaces in a city by 30% might look like significant positive progress for wildlife and people but Richardson said his study suggests a city might need to be 10 times greener to turn around declines in nature connection.
Efforts to simply encourage adults to engage with nature are often insufficient for lasting change. More effective are measures that build nature connection from an early age, such as forest schools for young children. Research indicates that government initiatives reshaping early education and urban design must be consistently applied over the next 25 years. Once established, this connection can become self-sustaining.
Richardson said the scale of societal change required might not be as challenging as it appeared. A study on people in Sheffield found that they spent just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on average in natural spaces each day. “Increase that by ten, and people are spending 40 minutes outside every day — that may be enough,” he said. “The key is to make these gains last across generations,” he added.
8. What change has Richardson traced in his study
A. Nature words have disappeared from books. B. People have less direct contact with nature.
C. Urbanisation has damaged wildlife habitats. D. Parents spend more time outdoors with kids.
9. What might cause future generations to have “extinction of experience” in the model
A. They are raised away from nature. B. They can’t adapt to changes in nature.
C. High-rise buildings fill neighbourhoods. D. Schools offer few nature science lessons.
10. What is a most effective solution to the issue according to the text
A. Advancing long-term policies. B. Launching eco-friendly campaigns.
C. Focusing on raising adults’ awareness. D. Enlarging green space in certain areas.
11. Richardson mentioned the study on people in Sheffield to show ________.
A. nature contact varies from city to city B. people’s living habits are hard to change
C. a new way to measure nature time is needed D. small efforts help improve contact with nature
D
Taking vitamins and minerals every day has already been shown to slow memory loss in people over 60. Now, it appears such supplements could slow ageing more generally.
But this finding relied on an indirect measure of ageing, so it isn’t certain what this means in terms of health benefits. We aren’t yet at a point where it could be recommended that all older adults take vitamins, says Howard Sesso at Harvard University. That said, there may at least be small benefits with very little risk. “There have been no deleterious effects of a daily multivitamin that we’ve identified so far,” he said.
To learn more about the potential benefits of multivitamin and mineral supplements, Sesso and his colleagues randomly divided 1,000 participants, with an average age of 70, into two groups: one group took the supplement, and the other took a placebo (安慰剂). “This was a very rigorous (严谨的) randomized-controlled trial: double-blind, placebo-controlled,” says Steve Horvath at the University of California, Los Angeles. “That alone sets it apart from most of the supplement literature, which relies on observational data full of other influencing factors.”
Some blood was taken from the participants at the start of the study, after one year and after two years. The DNA of immune cells in their blood was then analysed to look for the presence or absence of epigenetic (表观遗传的) markers at specific sites in the genes. The patterns of epigenetic markers change in a predictable way as people age, allowing researchers to roughly estimate how old they are from blood tests. Sesso’s team used five epigenetic clocks, which all suggested that the people taking multivitamins aged more slowly than those on placebo. “I should note, however, that the effect sizes are modest,” says Horvath, who develops epigenetic clocks. “This is not a fountain of youth.”
The researchers claim that the slowing of epigenetic clocks they found is equal to about four months over the two-year study period, but this may be misleading. One of the many issues with epigenetic clocks is that their estimates of how a slowing of the same degree translates into normal time vary widely between them, says Daniel Belsky at Columbia University in New York.
12. What does the underlined word “deleterious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Beneficial. B. Harmful. C. Expected. D. Obvious.
13. What does Horvath stress in paragraph 3 regarding the study
A. The diversity of experimental samples. B. The significance of observational data.
C. The possible benefits of multivitamins. D. The strictness of experimental procedures.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. Blood tests can predict how long people live.
B. Epigenetic changes are similar in the two groups.
C. Multivitamins have limited effect on slowing ageing.
D. Epigenetic markers can check people’s immune system.
15. What does Daniel Belsky think of epigenetic clocks
A. Easy to handle. B. Subject to bias.
C. Different in size. D. Error-free for researchers.

A Piece of Cake
From sharing a tasty snack to allocating (分配) resources between nations, having a strategy to divide things fairly will make everyone happier. But it gets complicated when things aren’t indistinguishable substances. ____16____ Luckily, maths has some ideas.
When splitting between two parties, you might know a simple and mathematically optimal (最优的) rule: I cut, you choose. Since the person cutting the cake doesn’t choose, they are motivated to cut the cake fairly. Then when the other person chooses, everyone is satisfied. ____17____ Neither participant can claim they would rather have the other person’s share.
____18____ It is more complicated, but still possible, to produce an envy-free allocation with several so-called fair-sharing algorithms.
Let’s say Alex, Blake and Chris are sharing a cake. Alex cuts the cake into three pieces, equal in value to him. Then Blake judges if there are at least two pieces he would be happy with. If Blake says yes, Chris chooses a piece; Blake chooses next, pleased to get one of the two pieces he liked, followed by Alex, who would be satisfied with any of the pieces. If Blake doesn’t think Alex’s split was fair, Chris looks to see if there are two pieces he would take. ____19____ If both Blake and Chris reject Alex’s initial chop, then there must be at least one piece they both thought was no good. This piece goes to Alex. ____20____ The remaining two pieces are back together to create one piece of cake for Blake and Chris to perform the rule “I cut, you choose” on.
So whatever is being shared, maths can help prevent arguments.
A. What if there are more people
B. If not, Chris cuts the remaining pieces.
C. They take turns to pick their favorite piece.
D. If yes, Blake picks first, then Chris, then Alex.
E. This results in what is called an envy-free allocation.
F. He is still happy, because he thought the pieces were all fine.
G. For example, cake pieces with cherries on top seem more desirable.

My son is tidying the living room with proper attention. This has never happened before and he’s doing it all with a ____21____ on his face.
He is to be ____22____ for these exercises, but what really delights him is that this money will fund his ____23____ in Break The Rules Day.
We first became ____24____ of this fundraising event for his school when he started talking about it last week. This, in itself, was extremely ____25____, since my son usually refuses to reveal anything that ____26____ between 9 and 3:30 unless medically necessary.
Break The Rules Day was clearly, ____27____, something worth getting excited about. When the letter from school arrived, we ____28____ why. It read like a menu, itemising all the rules he and his classmates would be ____29____ to break, 11 in all, each priced at 50p.
Some of the ____30____ items were so specific that they cast a strange new ____31____ on the usual do’s and don’ts of classroom life, like “Choose where you sit” or “Wear a cap in class”. My son had ticked every single ____32____ once — some with such ____33____ that he’d very nearly torn through the paper with his pen. This makes his sudden willingness to do chores immediately ____34____.
As my son busies himself, I remind him to ____35____ his uniform in the laundry basket (洗衣篮). “What’s the laundry basket ” comes his cheerful, and definitive, reply.

22. A. paid B. punished C. tested D. praised
23. A. education B. project C. research D. participation
24. A. proud B. cautious C. tired D. aware

The Scots may well have standardized golf as we know it, making ____36____ a game of 18 holes. But it is still uncertain ____37____ first came up with the idea. The Romans played a game called paganica, in which a ball stuffed with feathers and wool ____38____ (hit) with a bent stick, while the Dutch played a stick-and-ball game called colf as early as the 13th century.
But the most interesting — and in many ways convincing — evidence ever ____39____ (document) of an early version of golf comes from China. A game called chuiwan became popular in the Song dynasty. Players used ten clubs to hit wooden balls towards ____40____ (bright) coloured flags — sound familiar They had a club for long distances, a precursor (前身) of the modern-day driver, and the tee was called the ji, or base ____41____ English.
There was even an early version of the R&A Rules of Golf: Wan Jing, or The Classic of the Ball, published during the Yuan dynasty. It ____42____ (lay) out the rules, and placed great ____43____ (emphasize) on sportsmanship and correct behaviour — similar to modern golf. There’s also a reference in an ancient book to an official of the Southern Tang dynasty ____44____ (tell) his daughter to “dig holes in the ground” so he could hit a ball into them using a special stick.
The game seems ____45____ (die) out in China during the Qing dynasty, but it certainly qualifies as a royal and ancient game.

Dad was there in the crowd also and would pick me up and put me on his shoulders to carry around. “My son!” He would tell the other fathers, “My son won the race!”
I was going to win! Faster than Sarah, I came up behind Mikey, giving my legs that extra burst of energy to pass him by. The winner, Sammy! All that running in the park was worth it!
Just as I heard the roar of the crowd welcoming me to the finish line,I saw a blur out of the corner of my eye.What There was Justin with his tomato cheeks running as fast as humanly possible,huffing and puffing like he was going to blow the house down.And then he was ir front of me.I was behind tomato face Justin.Crossing the finish line,I heard the voice over the loudspeaker boom,“Congratulations to the winner,Justin!"

Recently, there’s been a growing trend of students filming short videos on campus. It’s a privilege for me to share my perspectives.
Undoubtedly, filming short videos is a fantastic way to record school life and capture memorable moments. However, this phenomenon also brings inevitable problems. Some classmates film in class, which not only distracts themselves but also disrupts others’ learning. Worse still, posting videos without permission invades others’ privacy, causing discomfort and harm. To address these issues, I suggest we film only during breaks. Additionally, it’s crucial to ask for permission before recording others.
In conclusion, let’s strive to be mindful sharers, balancing fun with respect for everyone on campus. Thanks for listening!
57【答案】范文
I stood there frozen as Justin was handed his medal. My chest tightened, and tears blurred my vision. Mom rushed over, wrapping her arms around me. “You did an amazing job, Sammy!” she whispered. Justin glanced at me, his tomato cheeks now softened into a shy smile. “You were so fast,” he said, offering a high-five. Hesitating, I slapped his hand weakly. The coach approached, placing a hand on my shoulder. “Second place is still a victory,” he said. I stared at the empty hook on my wall, imagining the medal that wouldn’t hang there. Dad stood silently nearby, his eyes filled with pride mixed with concern.
Suddenly, strong hands lifted me onto Dad’s shoulders. “Look around, champ,” he said. The crowd was cheering wildly — not just for Justin, but for every runner. “Winning isn’t about medals,” Dad continued. “It’s about pushing your limits.” From that height, I saw Sarah hugging her mom and Mikey laughing with friends. Justin waved at me, his medal glinting. I took a deep breath and clapped along with the crowd. Later, as we ate ice cream, Mom said, “Next year, that hook will be ready again.” I nodded, realizing the race had taught me something brighter than a ribbon.
