Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids.
And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at
four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and
healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food
restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of
soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though
some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as
soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a
year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say
they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that
第4页/共 11页
they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming
effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,”
she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed( 安 装 )has grown
rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a
lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be
installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought
to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control
weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation
and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute
to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development,
which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-
impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the
past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related
to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness
第5页/共 11页
guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a
shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly
solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
8. What do solar developers often ignore?
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
9. What does InSPIRE aim to do?
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
10. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development
D
3M and Discovery Education announced Sean Jiang from Gilman School as one of the top ten finalists from
across the nation for the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge. It’s a competition that encourages students to
identify an everyday problem and submit a video showing the science behind the solution he or she came up with.
14-year-old Jiang decided to help those who can’t see. Blind people had a hard time navigating (导航) objects
that are medium to far range. So Jiang wanted to design something to give them a heads-up on obstacles (障碍) that
may be incoming.
Jiang’s inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system. “I learned in school that bats and whales are
able to use echolocation (回声定位) to help them navigate and just use their sense of hearing and I also saw on
YouTube some very skilled blind people that use echolocation to help them walk,” said Jiang.
第6页/共 11页
Jiang started with a virtual reality setting and then made it a reality. His creation uses a depth camera that can
detect how close objects are, thus giving enough time to dodge the obstacles. When a blind is walking with the
device, the sensor of the depth camera gathers the information regarding the obstacles’ position and distance. Then
the AI system in it will turn the distance data into musical sound guidance. This could significantly increase the
walking speed of a blind person as well as decrease the number of obstacles they hit.
Some other similar programs were alright at finding objects that were in close range, but Jiang still wanted the
blind to experience the world even fuller so they were able to see stuff that was much further away than their circle
of reach.
In October the top ten finalists will compete in person in Minneapolis for the title of “America’s Top Young
,
Scientist” and a $25, 000 prize.
12. What can we learn about Jiang from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was the champion of the 2023 3M event.
B. He invented technology to remove road obstacles.
C. He sought to assist the blind in walking smoothly.
D. He developed a new navigation app for his school.
13. Why did Jiang mention “echolocation”?
A. To show the development of technology.
B. To present the difficulties the blind face.
C. To stress the significance of hearing.
D. To explain the inspiration of his invention.
14. What does the underlined word “dodge” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Avoid.
B. Encounter.
C. Challenge.
D. Remove.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. 3M facilities intended for the blind.
B. A teen using sound to help the blind.
C. An invention to cure vision problems.
D. A competition to improve the blind’s life.

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。
One of the cores of emotional intelligence is self-regulation, an important skill in the workplace. Like any skill,
mastery of emotional self-control requires intentionality and practice. ___16___.
Pause to Mentally Distance
When you notice your typical physiological experiences associated with strong negative emotion, what should
you do? Mentally step out of your immediate experience. Asking yourself any question, or imagining what you might
look like to others right now, will do the trick. At that point, although still physiologically keyed up, you will be able
to ask yourself, “What is the best course of action right now?” or “What advice would I give someone else who is in
my shoes?” ___17___.
Take Control of Your Self-Talk
We’re frequently unaware of how much self-chatter is going on in the background of our minds. Such self-talk
might not be in fully articulated (铰接式的) words or phrases, but instead little flashes of thought. Becoming aware
of your self-talk can be difficult. Why is this an important skill to develop? ___18___. To genuinely ease a strong
negative emotion requires tackling the source by examining the underlying belief and how accurate, reasonable, or
useful it is.
Seek Support from Partners
Ask others you trust to help you recognize when your emotions seem to be getting the best of you. ___19___.
Agree on a gesture or word that might serve as a signal that your trusted individual wonders whether you’re riding
the led-by-your-limbic-system train. Of course, there will be times they’re wrong. So, it’s important not to respond
defensively when you get that signal. Reacting with anything other than gratitude ensures that your partner won’t
take that risk again.
Cultivate (培养) Curiosity
Our brains are wired to draw conclusions and form judgments at lightning speed, and those are frequently the
cause of our negative emotions. ___20___, but we tend to run with them, sparking the self-talk that follows. Generally
working to be more curious about other people’s experiences, including their self-identified motives for their behavior,
helps avoid making hasty judgments.
A. They are comfortable with all emotions
B. Those judgments are not necessarily accurate
C. Doing so provides you with choices as to how to act
D. Explain your developmental goals and sincerely ask for help
第8页/共 11页
E. Stay focused on coming up with an answer and following through on it
F. Because it is those background beliefs that fuel our emotional responses
G. Here are four ways you can develop greater emotional self-management
