A recent landing on the moon has awakened or renewed people’s enthusiasm for the stars and
space exploration. Here are four trip ideas to inspire those would-be astronauts and astronomers.
Kennedy Space Center, America
The NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center is a must for ambitious astronauts and space-lovers.
Hands-on experiences range from live presentations delivered by astronauts to the new Astronaut
Training Experience Center. Children aged 10 to 17 can experience spacewalking and exploring
Mars.

As an International Dark Sky Reserve in the world, this lovely part of Yorkshire, England is host
to the UK's family-friendly National Parks Dark Skies festival. Well timed to the latter part of autumn
Page 1 of 12
half term in England, the festival includes bat-box making, evenings with winter birds and moonlit
coastal walks.
Pic du Midi, France
There are few observatories where you can observe stars before retiring to a comfortable cabin
and watch the sunrise. Getting to the Pic du Midi Observatory is also an adventure by itself, involving
a ride on two cable-cars up to a 2, 877-meter-high mountain. The guided astronomy sessions help
kids discover Saturn （土星） and its rings via powerful telescopes.
Mount Teide, Spain
Home to the largest solar observatory in the world, it sits on Spain's highest mountain. Ride the
cable-car up for a scientist-led tour, which includes the chance to observe the Sun through hand-held
solar telescopes. The special family tour includes an attractive 90-minute workshop exploring how
observatory physicists carry out their research.

A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of America's Top Young Scientist for his
groundbreaking creation-a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. At just 14 years old,
Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the
ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap （SCTS）.
Bekele's brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but
also has the potential to reactivate the body's natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In
Page 2 of 12
Bekele's own words, Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. He always has endless passion for
biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect
platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a
significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the
sun, he couldn't help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun
exposure.
I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad
audience, Bekele expressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance
from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to
aid him in reaching his ambitious plans.
During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into a
symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.”
Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit
organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped
communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.
4. What made Bekele an instant hit?
A. Starting a soap fashion. B. Overcoming skin cancer.
C. Being the youngest scientist. D. Creating a soap against skin cancer.
5. What inspired Bekele to invent SCTS?
A. His concern for others. B. His adventure in childhood.
C. His enthusiasm for technology. D. His interest in medical knowledge.
6. What will Bekele do in the near future?
A. Obtain official approval. B. Visit undeveloped areas.
C. Increase the availability of the soap. D. Update the facilities of production.
7. Which of the following can best describe Bekele?
A. Inspiring and modest. B. Humorous and positive.
C. Creative and considerate. D. Curious and independent.

In the animal world, speed is king. Fast animals have a leg up in outrunning other animals, which
puts them high on the food chain. It would seem that all animals would go for speed, but then there's
Page 3 of 12
the sloth（树懒）. While a lion can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only five seconds, it takes a
sloth all day to cover no more than 50 meters.
Sloths live entirely in trees on a diet of leaves. And for this, they are extremely rare. While most
of the land world is covered in trees, there are very few vertebrates （脊椎动物） that call the tree
home. The aim of a 2016 study, says Jonathan Pauli, a University of Alabama professor of forest and
wildlife ecology, was to help uncover why sloths are indeed so unique. Among vertebrates, this is
the rarest of lifestyles, says Pauli. When you picture animals that live off plant leaves, they are almost
all big-things like deer. What's super interesting about sloths is that they can't be big.
For their research, Pauli and his Wisconsin team studied wild sloths at a field site. When the
researchers measured the energy use of sloths, they found a wildly low burning of as little as 110
calories of energy a day. And for this, they take the cake: it is the lowest measured energetic output
for any mammal （哺乳动物）.
The measurement was intended to find out what it cost sloths to live over a day, says Pauli,
who adds that a diet of little but leaves lacks nutritional value and the animal's small size doesn't
allow for overeating-so sloths need to find ways to make the most of their diets, which means using
tiny amounts of energy, dramatic control of body temperature and living at an extremely slow pace.
Their reward? A wonderfully widespread ecological system to call their own, one slow inch at
a time.
8. Why is a lion mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To admire lions' speed. B. To state sloths' weakness.
C. To confirm lions' lead position. D. To highlight sloths' uniqueness.
9. What is the 2016 study mainly about?
A. The lifestyle of sloths. B. The diet of vertebrates.
C. The species of rare animals. D. The energy use of creatures.
10. What does the underlined part take the cake in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Break down. B. Keep on. C. Stand out. D. Grow up.
11. What can be inferred about sloths from Pauli's words?
A. Their slow pace is a balanced choice.
B. They are in face of possible extinction.
C. Their slow pace decides a tiny appetite.

D. They suffer a lot against natural enemies.

From the day we're born, curiosity becomes a primary driving force that motivates us to explore
unknown ideas and territories in search of answers and stimulations. Human beings have an inborn
desire to close the curiosity gap every day.
A recent study found that curiosity can be a highly effective way to lead people to make smarter
and healthier lifestyle choices. Evan Polman, assistant professor of marketing at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, said, Our research shows that fueling people's curiosity can influence their
choices by turning them away from inviting desires, like unhealthy foods or taking the elevator, and
toward less inviting but healthier options, such as buying more fresh produce or taking the stairs.
To prove the positive potential of the curiosity gap, Polman and his team conducted a series of
experiments designed to test how curiosity affected the choices people made positively. In each study,
arousing curiosity resulted in noticeable behavior change. For example, in one of the experiments,
Polman increased the number of participants who chose to watch a video of academic nature by
promising that they would reveal the secret behind a magic trick at the end of the video.
The results of the field studies on curiosity were particularly convincing to Polman. In one field
study, the researchers created a 10 percent increase in the use of stairs in a university building by
posting trivial（琐事） questions near the elevators and posting the answers in the stairwell. In
another, they increased the purchase of fresh produce by placing a joke on the posters describing the
fruit or vegetable.
Polman was surprised by the degree that taking advantage of the curiosity gap could motivate
people to automatically make healthier lifestyle choices. He concluded, Our results suggest that
using interventions based on curiosity gaps has the potential to increase participation in desired
behaviors for which people often lack motivation. It also provides new evidence that curiosity-based
interventions come at an incredibly small cost and could help push people toward a variety of positive
actions.
12. What did a recent study find about curiosity?
A. It fuels people's desires. B. It lowers people's buying.
C. It benefits people's health. D. It determines people's lives.
13. What are those experiments by Polman's team aimed at?
Page 5 of 12
A. Supporting a finding. B. Raising a research topic.
C. Arousing scientists' interest. D. Displaying negative evidence.
14. What is Polman's attitude to the results of field studies?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Approving. D. Dismissive.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. How to stay curious B. The magic of curiosity
C. How to make health choices D. The two sides of curiosity gap

The brain is often seen as the most important organ of us humans. It controls our thoughts,
emotions, memories and even our movements. However, what many people often forget is that the
brain and the body are closely connected. 16
Studies have shown that regular exercise can significantly improve cognitive functions such as
memory, attention and problem-solving abilities. 17 How does this happen? Well, the answer lies
in the way exercise affects the brain.
Exercise increases the production of proteins that promote the growth and survival of neurons
（神经元）, thus ensuring better brain functions. Moreover, exercise has a positive impact on mood
and mental well-being. It helps release some natural mood boosters that make us feel more positive
and happy. 18
As for the exercise varieties, it's not just about aerobic（有氧的） exercises like running or
cycling. 19 It improves concentration and decision-making abilities by enhancing the connectivity
between different regions of the brain.
20 Exercise isn't just about keeping fit or losing weight; it's about improving cognitive
functions, boosting mood and even helping us think more creatively, So, the next time you feel lazy
or unmotivated to exercise, remember that every step you take is one step closer to a healthier, happier
and more intelligent you.
A. It even strengthens creativity.
B. Actually the body deeply affects the brain.
C. The brain also has great impacts on exercise.

第二节（满分 25 分）
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the beginning of this year, my daughter Helen spent a month in the hospital fighting for her
life. Since then, she has had to deal with the disease as well as many side effects. She has met each
challenge, disappointment and setback with courage.
With her 16th birthday approaching, Helen dreamt of a party and campfire at the beach with
friends, relatives, and her beloved dog, Ginger. It took a while, but I finally found a good beach that
allowed dogs and campfires and had easy access. However, a week before her party, Helen's disease
worsened.
Our friend Ian called the night before the party and turned our plans upside down. The small
beach we'd selected and the surrounding beaches would host a 30, 000-person event on the party night
and would be closed. It was a disaster because we had researched no other nearby beach would work.
Helen had her heart set on having her dog and a campfire at the beach, but as usual, she didn't
complain. In her young life, she's dealt with much worse things than a destroyed birthday party. She
sat down and began to quietly cry. After a while Helen decided she'd rather have the party at our
home so she could have her dog and a campfire. We called the invitees with the changed plans.
How to design a party at home with dogs and campfire was a challenge. It occurred to us that
we could make full use of our yard. Ian's wife Jayme came first with some small signs, which read:
Welcome to Campbell Beach, where dogs and campfires are welcome. Where the beach is small and

the waves are so far away, you must close your eyes to see them, but not so the love for Helen and
her little dog. Happy Birthday, Helen!

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
An hour later, Ian arrived with a loaded truck.
Helen and her friends couldn't wait to play on the sand.
