A If you pay no attention to your mental health, it can lead to depression, burnout, anxiety, and so much more. So, whether you’re in your youth or you want to help someone you love, these are some of the best mental health websites for young people. TeenHelp As the name suggests, TeenHelp is specifically targeted towards those in their teen years. The website covers mental health topics from teen depression to anger issues. The great thing about TeenHelp is that it is not only for teenagers but parents, too. It includes a particular column for parents to find online resources, like how to choose a psychologist.

From there you can use various helplines, read real stories, and learn more about mental health conditions. There is even a YoungMinds online store where you can buy fun clothing, postcards, and prints. ReachOut ReachOut offers something for everyone, whether you’re a young person looking for help or a parent. Do you need help with mental health issues such as addiction, self-harm, or anxiety?

B Over the past two years, Liu Yijing, a storm chaser from Nanchang, has traveled nearly 27,000 kilometers to record storms in 11 provinces. When he was a kid, Liu liked to read popular science picture books and watch the weather forecast, becoming excited whenever he saw storms and other weather. In 2018, when playing with an old camera at home, Liu accidentally took dozens of pictures of lightning. He posted them online and received many likes, arousing his great interest in shooting storms. But it’s never easy to shoot amazing pictures about ever-changing storms. Every time, Liu needs to find an area where storms could appear and then mark the best shooting positions, which often cover dozens of kilometers. Then, he’ll find a reliable driver and carry his photographic equipment and food to wait for the storm. For shooting high-quality storms, he always sticks with it to the end and often lands himself in danger of being attacked by hails (冰雹) and pouring rains. However, one thing changed his mind. One day in August 2020, Liu was shooting a pink-purple thunderstorm when a farmer came over and cried, “You, as a photographer, should care about our crops, not the damaging storms.” The farmer’s words hit him as hard as any thunderstorm. “I just wanted to shoot the storm, but I never thought that what I like is a disaster for others,” Liu said. “I felt guilty and decided to do something to help more people learn about meteorology (气象学).” Now Liu makes and posts short videos with explanations about the phenomena and the possible dangers of storms. For example, to warn people of the danger of possible hails, he marked hail cores, which often show noticeable blue colors due to large amounts of thick raindrops in the cloud, because water molecules absorb red light and scatter ( 散 射) blue light. “Putting knowledge into shocking and lively pictures and videos is a better way to pass the
knowledge to more people,” said Liu. “That’s the significance and value of what I’m doing now.”
- What caused Liu to shoot storms? A. Popular science picture books. B. His interest in taking photos. C. His love for weather reports. D. The popularity of his pictures.
- What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Possible dangers of shooting storms. B. Liu’s efforts in shooting high-quality storms. C. Requirements for being a storm chaser. D. Liu’s special skills for shooting amazing pictures.
- How did the farmer’s words change Liu? A. He chose to spread knowledge. B. He started to care about crops. C. He changed his way of shooting. D. He shoots storms with guilt.
- Why does the author mention hail cores in the last paragraph? A. To explain how dangerous hail is. B. To give an example of a sign of a hailstorm. C. To illustrate how Liu helps people understand storms. D. To prove Liu has a profound knowledge of meteorology.
C I always listen to my local public radio station while I’m driving. My focus often changes as I stare out at the road ahead. But I became fully attentive on a recent morning once I realized the entire newscast was dedicated to local wildlife. There was something about the pack of some 30 to 50 javelinas ( 野猪) that ruined a golf course near Sedona, Arizona, followed by talk of the recent sighting of a jaguar ( 美 洲 虎), a species that ranged across Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, until construction of the border wall blocked the way. Finally, there was an update on Mexican wolf reintroduction efforts in New Mexico and Arizona. The results were mixed: Nine of the wolves had died or been killed recently. As I sat in my car, listening to the news, I felt helpless, even mournful. What would it take for most of us to understand that the javelinas’ behavior on that heavily irrigated golf course in the desert was a sign that maybe the course shouldn’t be in the desert to begin with? The way I saw it, the javelinas weren’t invading ( 入 侵) the site; they were reclaiming it. After all, the javelinas’
needs—for food and space—are more basic than a few privileged humans’ desire to play golf. As for the Arizona Mexican wolf pup reintroduction effort that I heard about in the news, for the past 25 years, scientists have been working hard to restore the native wolf population, and yet are unable to remove its greatest threat. Today, almost 250 Mexican wolves are believed to be in the wild, and every year, humans illegally kill one out of ten. The wolf recovery effort is necessary, but it’s extremely difficult because we humans keep getting in the way. I need to tackle my helplessness, because helplessness leads to no longer wanting to take care of what matters most. Therefore, I think that it must be a good sign that my local news now regularly covers the challenges of coexistence and possible solutions to our problems. That’s progress and fuels my hope.
- What is the morning news about? A. Dangers of local wildlife. B. Efforts to reintroduce wildlife. C. Issues of human-wildlife coexistence. D. Distribution of wildlife around the world.
- Why did the javelinas destroy the golf course according to the author? A. To meet basic needs. B. To protect the desert. C. To oppose golf playing. D. To attack human beings.
- What do we know about the Mexican wolves? A. They are bound to go extinct. B. Humans threaten their survival. C. Their number has greatly increased. D. 10% of them have been reintroduced.
- What is the author’s attitude to the challenges mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
D With lunar exploration rocketing, it poses many challenges. Among them is a fundamental question metrologists (计量学家) worldwide are working to answer: what time is it on the Moon? The Moon doesn’t currently have an independent time. Each lunar mission uses its own timescale to coordinate universal time, or UTC—the standard against which the earth’s clocks are set. The approach works when the Moon hosts a handful of independent missions, but it will be a problem when there are multiple craft working together. Space agencies will also want to track them using satellite navigation, which relies on precise timing signals. The most pressing need for lunar time comes from plans to create a dedicated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) for the Moon. To tackle this problem, representatives of space agencies and academic organizations worldwide met in November 2022 to start drafting recommendations on how to define lunar time. Defining lunar time is not simple. According to the Special Theory of Relativity, clocks tick more slowly in stronger gravitational fields. The Moon’s gravitational pull is weaker than Earth’s, meaning a lunar clock would run faster than an Earth one. Defining a lunar standard, with which all clocks are compared, will involve installing at least three master clocks that tick at the Moon’s natural pace, and whose output is combined by an algorithm (算法) to generate a more accurate ‘virtual’ timepiece. What happens then depends on which option metrologists choose. They might decide to base lunar time on UTC. The alternative would be to use the synthesized output of the lunar atomic clocks as the Moon’s own independent, continuous time, and to track its relationship to UTC. That way, even if the connection with Earth is lost, clocks on the Moon will still agree with each other, allowing safe navigation and communications. Setting lunar time is part of a much bigger picture. It will one day work for the more distant planets that space agencies are ultimately targeting, such as Mars.
What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The working principle of UTC. B. The achievements of the space mission. C. The urgency to develop satellite navigation. D. The problem of the current lunar timing method.
What is the major barrier to defining lunar time? A. Lack of professional guidance. B. The disagreement among metrologists. C. Different gravitational pull on the Moon. D. The complexity of installing master clocks.
What’s the advantage of defining the Moon’s independent time? A. Keeping the clocks on the Moon corresponding. B. Preventing spacecraft from losing connection with the Earth. C. Helping humans land on the more distant planets. D. Making it easier to synchronize with UTC all the time.
What’s the best title of the text? A. What Time Is It on the Moon? B. When will Man Settle on the Moon? C. Lunar exploration: A Career Bound to Revive D. GNSS: A More Precise Lunar Tracking System
第二节 (共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In so big a world, it’s easy to sometimes feel alone. Loneliness can strike anyone, anytime, and it’s no fun at all. 16 Participate in school or community events to meet new people. Putting yourself out there is one of the best things you can do when lonely. Join a sports team or take a cooking class. You’ll socialize and have fun—two birds with one stone! Sign up for activities that interest you to meet people with similar hobbies. 17 Don’t be afraid to approach someone first! 18 Sometimes, a comforting shoulder is all you need. Tell a trusted loved one how you feel, or just send a “Hi” to start a chat. Talking about your feelings may seem scary, but it can help you realize you’re not alone. Try saying, “I’ve been feeling lonely lately. Have you ever felt like this?” or “Hey, want to get some ice cream? It’ll cheer me up.” If you have no one to talk to, try
contacting a helpline for anonymous support. Take care of yourself. 19 Eat food that makes you feel good both inside and out. Move your body for at least 30 minutes a day. Do something you enjoy, like walking, hiking, swimming, or dancing. Get at least 7 hours of sleep and stick to a regular sleep schedule. Consider adding meditation (冥想) to your routine to clear your mind. Start a journal. When you feel depressed or lonely, you can challenge these unhealthy and unhelpful thoughts by keeping a journal. Journaling the things you’re grateful for can influence your emotions and activate positive feelings. Try spending at least 20 minutes a day writing in your journal. Just write down whatever comes to mind! 20
A. Reach out to family and friends. B. Help yourself feel better by eating, exercising, and sleeping. C. Your entries don’t have to be long or about anything specific. D. Show interest in what you’re doing and the people around you. E. If you have a hobby that you’ve lost interest in, try picking it up again. F. While it might be universally felt, the reasons why we feel it are different. G. Thankfully, there are ways to deal with it, which are probably simpler than you may think.

- 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。 I woke up with a start and looked at the clock in front of me—5:00 am. The whole night I had been dreaming and planning various things I wanted to do. After all, it was my 16th birthday! Yesterday, none of my family had shown any sign to indicate that they’d remembered the fact that my birthday was only 24 hours away. They might have been planning a surprise for me! I raced downstairs. “Well, you’re up early,” my dad said, his eyes fixed upon the newspaper. My mother, who was cooking breakfast, paid me no attention. “Have they forgotten about me?” I wondered. “No, they would never do that.” “Mama, I was wondering if you could cook me some pancakes,” I said in a cheerful tone. “Jessie, I am in a hurry today. I am afraid I don’t have time to make you pancakes,” my mother said. None of them seemed to be aware of my special day. At least for my sake, they could’ve given it some importance. And none of my brothers seemed to be interested in my birthday either. I felt a bit down. For months we had been planning events for my birthday—shopping,
games, decorations and so much more—but now, they all seemed to have forgotten about my birthday. Lunch was boring, with nothing special cooked for my special day. Everyone sat talking about random (随意的) things, not once mentioning my birthday. Disappointed, I climbed up the stairs to my room and lay down in bed. Suddenly, Mom called out to me. I dashed ( 急 奔) towards her, hoping to hear something cheerful. But my optimism ( 乐 观) disappeared when she said, “Me, your dad and your brothers are attending a dinner. Since you woke up early, we thought you might need some sleep. If you feel hungry, there’s food in the fridge. Call if you need help. Bye, and be a good girl.” 注意:

阅读下列短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 “I don’t like it,” my daughter said, spitting her spinach ( 菠 菜) onto her plate. “I want nuggets ( 炸 鸡 块).” Determined not to give in to picky eating, I stayed firm. Unhealthy food, I believed, should be for special occasions. “Mommy worked hard to make you a nutritious (有营养 的) meal. Please eat it.” I begged, exhausted after her fourth refusal this week. “No!” she shouted, tossing her food on the floor. “My friends get whatever they want for dinner. I hate you!” I felt like a failure as a parent. Taking a deep breath, I gave her a serious look. “Come on, you know the rule.” “Yes, I should try everything three times,” she replied, rolling her eyes. “That’s right,” I said kindly. “So two more bites.” My mother had a rule: try every food three times. The first time to try it, the second to get over the first reaction, and the third to see if you really didn’t like it. If I still hated it, she wouldn’t make me eat it again. This approach worked for me, except with liver and bananas. I used the same rule with my daughter. A smile appeared on my face as I watched her swallow her second bite of spinach and then open her mouth for the third. She ate her final bite, and my thoughts wandered to how the “three times rule” had impacted my life. This rule gave me the courage to face fears, from public speaking to career changes. My life has been fuller because of it. If I hadn’t tried everything three times, I wouldn’t be a writer today. After two rejections, I tried a third time and have been happily writing ever since. My daughter, once a picky eater, is now a vegetarian who loves spinach.

She might place the box on her head or tie the ribbon to a table leg. This is open-ended play, where children use everyday objects in creative, unstructured ways. It’s child-directed, with no set outcome. Research shows open-ended play is beneficial in sometimes surprising ways. Open-ended play starts with the objects children play with. Unlike electronic toys or movie-based toys, open-ended toys—often called “loose parts”—give children the room to do something new. Loose parts can include egg holders, seashells, or cardboard boxes and other common objects. They are the basis for imaginative play that helps children become more creative. When a child picks up a stick and imagines it as a horse or telescope, she is exercising the ability to create and to think for herself. Each step in the process of free play is valuable. The process begins with choosing an object, then transforming ( 转 变) it in her imagination into something new with its own purpose. Manufactured (制造的) toys do not give the mind the same freedom to imagine as do common objects that do not come with expectations or history. Obviously, adult-directed activities are more controlled and more predictable, and often shield children from making mistakes. Open-ended play allows children to follow their interests and to make mistakes. With parents playing a more passive role, children are responsible for these mistakes. This allows for more chances to solve problems and creates opportunities for children to be successful, building confidence in their ability to reason.
The reality of modern life is that much of children’s lives will be structured. But it does not all have to be. When parents, teachers, and caregivers take a step back, they open the door wider for children to create and learn.

Why are open-ended toys called “loose parts”?

Is the Smart Home a Smart Choice?
Depending on your perspective, my Brooklyn apartment is either a technological marvel or a confusing maze of digital assistants and unnecessary remote-control integration. For me, adjusting the living room temperature is as simple as saying, “Hey Siri, set living room to 72 ℉.” To my wife, however, it is a(n) 76 process involving apps and Wi-Fi. I spent around $2,000 on this home technology, 77 everything via a single app or my voice. As I don’t live alone, I’ve also installed conventional wall switches and a universal remote for the TV. This allows family visitors to operate things the “ 78 ” way: dialing a desired temperature on the thermostat ( 恒 温 器), flicking the lights on, and pressing the “on” button to watch news. Commercials promise a future of effortless control and entertainment at our fingertips or voice command. Yet, after four years in a smart home, my initial feeling of empowerment has 79 into dependence, mixed with anxiety. My smart thermostat promised 80 by adjusting temperatures only when necessary. However, I have observed no change in my electrical bills since its installation. It even alters temperatures randomly based on a learning algorithm that can’t make sense. Then there are the alarming security camera alerts. One night, while I was working late, my phone buzzed with an alert: “Person 81 in the living room.” I crazily checked the camera with its night vision on, but it revealed nothing; it was a false 82. Furthermore, while my smoke alarms can activate lights and call emergency services during a fire, their most practical function for me is the ability to turn them off. This is essential, as I enjoy frying food in cast iron, an activity that 83 triggers the alarm—a common experience for any New Yorker cooking a steak. As an early 84 eager to command devices by voice, I’ve realized that connecting every device to the Internet can be frightening. Despite the frustrations and the seeming irreversibility of this trend, a crucial comfort remains: most of these devices still keep their most important —a simple on and off switch.

What You Should Know about Chilies
What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies. Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from “thunderclap” headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News. In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people-almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning sensation that comes from eating chilies by releasing endorphins, natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness”. And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the mortality rate ( 死 亡 率) of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by the University of Vermont came to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age.” Capsaicin ( 辣椒素) has anti-cancer properties and the ability to increase our metabolism. So, don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us-except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________

Space agencies will also want to track them using satellite navigation, which relies on precise timing signals. (当月球承载少数独立任务时,这种方法是有效的,但是当有多个飞船一起工 作时,这将是一个问题。航天机构还希望使用卫星导航来跟踪它们,这依赖于精确的计时信 号)”可知,当多个飞船共同工作时,当前的月球计时方法就出现问题,而且航天机构依赖精 确的时间来跟踪飞船,这月球计时会产生很多问题。因此本段介绍当前月球计时方法存在的 问题。故选 D。

(另一种方法是使用月 球原子钟的同步输出作为月球自己独立的连续时间,并跟踪其与 UTC 的关系。这样,即使 月球与地球失去了联系,月球上的时钟仍然会彼此一致,从而实现安全的航行和通信)”可知, 设定月球独立的时间后,即使失去与地球联系,月球上的时间始终是保持一致。故选 A。

However, I feel terribly sorry to tell you that I can’t because the arrangement conflicts with our weekly oral English group activity. Since the beginning of this term, my group members have promised to improve our spoken English every Sunday afternoon in our extracurricular time. Thus, it would be embarrassing to miss it. If we go to the science museum next Saturday, would that suit you? My sincerest apologies again for the inconvenience. Hope you can accept my rearrangement. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours,

- 【参考范文】 They all waved goodbye one by one, leaving me alone in the house. I ran to my room and closed the door, crying myself to sleep. Suddenly, I heard something. I observed my surroundings, but there was nothing unusual in my bedroom. I jumped out of my bed, sure that someone was there in the house. “I… I’ve already called the police. You can’t escape!” I shouted. I knew that my threat sounded useless and worthless, but I had to give it a try. With all my courage, I opened the door. “Surprise!” a lot of voices called out. Trying to find out what was happening, I looked around. All my friends, my parents and my brothers came inside the room, holding my birthday cake. I felt so overwhelmed and began to cry. “Oh, I thought you all had forgotten,” I said, fighting back tears. “Not as long as I am alive,” came the voice of a lady. Someone was standing at the door—it was my grandmother! I rushed to her and gave her a hug. That was the best birthday of my life!
