When in sixth grade, Antonio Chow spent hours on his phone, watching endless videos about the latest movies
and cars. His family worried as he became increasingly distant, his eyes glued to his phone's screen. Soon his grade
slipped from an A to a B.
However, Antonio, 13, managed to pull away from social media addiction, and his family noticed the shift.
He started playing tennis again and going for walks with his dad. He and his sister Angelina, 15, joined a group
spending the last year creating videos and brochures on mental health and social media. Adolescents in the group
have dealt with social media addiction as the platforms they frequented fed them uncensored(未经审核的) streams
of content.
Through the Los Angeles Public Library's Teens Leading Change initiative, a group of teenagers created
public service announcements and brochures that offer tips on how they and their peers can maintain healthful habits
online.
One afternoon, the teens gathered at the library for one final meet- up before they presented their efforts to
family and friends. Emily Meehan, a young adult librarian, guided them through their planned talking points.“
What's one way to use social media in a healthy and mindful way?” Meehan asked.“ While social media causes lots
of issues and stuff, people have also been using it to counteract that bad stuff,” Shira Cohen, a group member,
replied.“ Yes, body positivity,” Meehan said, nodding.
On a Saturday afternoon, the group presented their project to proud parents. They offered advice on navigating
social media responsibly: don't use the phone before going to bed, set a limit on social media use, practice gratitude
...
Jerry Chow, Antonio’s father, said that he was glad to see them take the lead in the conversation about social
media and understanding its effects. Meehan said,“ the project has proved the teens are seeing how social media
affects their lives and their peers’ lives, and they aren't going to have that. They want to do something about it.”
24. What do we know about Antonio Chow?
A. He was fond of classic movies and cars.
B. His grades hardly changed after the phone addiction.
C. He removed social media addiction with his peers' help.
D. His experience inspired him to join a group to help others.
25. What did the group focus on?
A. Ways to use social media appropriately.
B. Ways to help adolescents keep mental health.
C. Ways to develop good study habits at school.
D. Ways to make public service announcements.
26. What does the underlined“ counteract” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Accuse. B. Tolerate. C. Prevent. D. Distinguish.
27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Shira Cohen disagreed with Emily Meehan.
B. Emily Meehan offered guidance to the group.
C. Jerry Chow was doubtful about what Antonio did.
D. Angelina helped her brother break the addiction.

The Oceans in Depth series from the University of Chicago Press aims to place“ the ocean at the center of our
narratives (叙述) about the past.” Wilko Graf von Hardenberg's new book on the history of sea level, Sea Level: A
History, is no different. In it, von Hardenberg, a historian of the environment and science, describes the pursuit of
a standardized definition of sea level through the history of geology, oceanography, hydrography and coastal
engineering. What emerges is a slim volume that raises big questions about the nature of global science in the
modern age.
The book is divided into two major sections. The first three chapters tell the history of debates surrounding
the development of a standardized mean sea level. These take the reader from early German mathematical theories
of sea level subsidence (下沉) through the debates about geological and oceanographic processes. In the next section,
von Hardenberg shows how the development of standard ideas of sea level became a basis for scientific and public
debates about the history and future of shifting coastlines. The final chapter brings the discussion into the present,
with a chapter devoted to current debates about sea level.
One of the most interesting clues in the book is related to technology. The making of an international mean
required the standardization of measurement technologies. According to the author,“ the history of the assessment
of sea level is part of a broader development toward the reform and unification of reference points and metrics.”
This history includes tracing (追溯) instrumentation from barometry (气压测定法) to tide gauges (测量仪器) and
satellites. Technology is not replaced, reveals von Hardenberg. New methods develop, built upon the infrastructure
of older technologies still being used. For instance, the first self- registering(自动记录的) tidal gauge was equipped
at the Sheerness, England, dockyard in 1831, and up to a third of all gauging stations throughout Europe still used
simple scaled gauges in 1890.
Sea Level is a powerful reminder that examining the history of scientific values can shed light on both the
structure of modern science and its impact on the near future. This book is well written, and informative without
using any unnecessary words and it is a strong example of what ocean history has to offer.
28. Why does the author mention the Oceans in Depth series in Paragraph 1?
A. To define sea level.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give examples of ocean history.
D. To compare the contents of the books.
29. What is presented in the first section of the book ?
A. The future of shifting coastlines.
B. The influence of sea level subsidence.
C. The basis for scientific and public debates.
D. The debates about geological and oceanographic processes.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The highlight of the book.
B. The progress of technology.
C. The application of old technology.
D. The background of writing the book.
31. What does the author of the passage like about Sea Level?
A. Its humorous tone.
B. Its brief language.
C. Its writing structure.
D. Its traditional perspective.
D
Recent discoveries published in Science Advances have revealed a native plant gene that enables researchers
to more effortlessly control the attractive glow of bioluminescent(生物发光的) plants. This gene, which varies
across different plant species, allows for the redirection of living energy into organic light, offering a natural source
of lighting for homes, gardens, and beyond.
The study received support from Light Bio, a pioneer in the development of bioluminescent plants, which is
dedicated to promoting greater connection and enjoyment of plants through the delightful appeal of living light. The
latest research builds upon earlier findings. Prior approaches for creating bioluminescent plants involved including
five genes obtained from fungi (菌类). In the new findings, a single gene native to plants can effectively replace
two of the fungal genes. The plant gene's smaller size and simpler biological requirements enhance its functionality
for diverse applications. The smaller gene plays a vital role, acting as a bridge between plant metabolism(新陈代
谢 ) and light production. This connection allows the plant's inner dynamics to be translated into a constantly
changing view of natural light.
Bioluminescent plants have gained huge popularity among the public. Light Bio recently began taking orders
for a bioluminescent petunia(矮牵牛花) under the brand Firefly TM Petunia, which is selling fast. The company
selected the petunia as its first offering due to its popularity as a decorative plant. It recently announced that their
plants glow up to 100 times brighter than previously possible, with the petunia standing out as the brightest. Known
for their ease of being planted and flowering, petunias make an ideal choice for this innovative enhancement.
In partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks, Light Bio envisions future plants to be at least ten times brighter, with
an expanded range of varieties and colors. Beyond the sheer delight these glowing plants provide, the foundational
science offers great insights into plant molecular physiology (分子生理学). The cooperative teams are confident
that discoveries from this research will lead to significant progress in essential fields such as crop development and
disease resistance.
32. What is the function of the gene native to plants?
A. It makes an artificial source available.
B. It redirects living energy into colorful light.
C. It remains unchanged across different plant species.
D. It helps keep the glow of bioluminescent under control.
33. What can be known from paragraph 2?
A. A gene native to plants is equal to a fungal gene.
B. Present approaches include five genes from fungi.
C. Light Bio takes the lead in the study of tree plants.
D. Early findings lay a foundation for the latest research.
34. What contributes to the petunia's being selected as the first offering?
A. Its inadequate brightness. B. Its easily being grown.
C. Its function of decoration. D. Its creative way of flowering.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Native Genes Make Glowing Plants
B. Glowing Plants Gain More Popularity
C. New Advances Help Grow Glowing Plants
D. Discoveries Promote Progress in Essential Fields

At the peak of achievement, Olympians have trained their entire lives to reach their goal of standing on the
winner’s platform. Not only do Olympic athletes tone their bodies into near perfection, but they sharpen their minds
as well. 36 . Researchers have found Olympians share some common habits that you too can use to develop a
winner's mindset.
View stress as positive. Many successful Olympians view stress as a challenge instead of something they
should fear. A previous experiment published looked at how people viewed stress. It found the risk of premature
death rose by 43% for people who viewed stress negatively. 37 .
Get rid of self- doubt. There is no room for doubt in the minds of Olympic athletes. They have to believe they'
re capable of performing well or they have already given the competition the advantage. 38 , because they have
spent much time practicing their performance and learning from failures along the way.
Stay focused on the process. 39 . It's important to identify any triggers(起因) you might face and experience
those during practice until they fade into the background. Athletes have to be prepared for distractions such as crowd
noise, someone laughing, even a joke told nearby.
40 . Many of the most mentally tough and resilient(有复原力的) athletes have a history of overcoming
difficulties in their past. Resilience is the piece of us that allows us to get up every time we' re knocked down. It's
really hard to build resilience unless one has been challenged. In fact, there are many remarkable athletes who faced
unpleasant situations and were amazingly resilient.
A. Learn to bounce back
B. Learn to challenge yourself
C. They often feel extremely confident
D. They have to go into the event with complete confidence
E. Mental strength, focus and resilience don't come without effort
F. Top performers must concentrate on their goals during the big event
G. Those viewing stress as a positive had the lowest risk of death in the study

a lot but for a long while was going nowhere. But something 44 when I started sketch- booking(素描) this year.
The sketchbooks led to a 45 in mindset. Rather than trying to practise, I 46 a practice — scribbling (乱涂乱
画). Killing the hours with sketching became something in its own right.
I started carrying sketchbooks everywhere. The act of capturing 47 and moments in my sketchbook became
a(n) 48 part of my experiences. I spoke to Gregory, a sketch- booking blogger, to try to 49 why I had become
so fascinated by my new practice.“ People think about practice in 50 like practice in piano, where you have to do
things like playing scales(音阶),” Gregory explained. “I hate that. It feels academic. It's not expressive.”
I have since 51 two sketchbooks with portraits (肖像) , not as studies for future work, but as individual
expressions. Similarly, Gregory described how he filled a sketchbook with drawings of his tea cup, emphasizing
the 52 of repetitive practice. My latest sketchbook will 53 the biggest challenges of all my drawings— 54 .

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。
Oops. Colored rice poured out of Manju’s paper cone(纸锥) and showered across the floor. “I'm sorry. I cut
it too much.” he told his grandmother, Nanima. He rushed to clean up the rice. Would Nanima still let him help
with the rangoli (地画)?
The rangoli represented good luck for a new year and Nanima made one every Diwali (排灯节). First, she
would draw on the floor with chalk. Then, she would fill the drawing with uncooked colored rice without any gaps.
This year, Manju was old enough to help. He stood on one side of rangoli, while Nanima the other side. But
so far, he'd only made a mess.
“ Don't worry,” Nanima said gently, smiling at him.“ It takes some practice.” Manju tried again. He made a
new cone and filled it with rice. This time, he cut it carefully. Rice flowed out immediately.“ It works!” Side by
side, they made rice move out of the con e across the drawing.
After a while, Manju glanced over at Nanima. He frowned (皱眉) with disappointment.“ You’ve finished a
lot. I’ve done hardly any.”“ You’ re doing a good job,” Nanima said with a smile.“ Gaps bring bad luck. But your
side looks nice and tight.”
Manju kept working. Sometimes his rice moved very quickly and lightly outside the drawing. Sometimes he
used the wrong color. Sometimes he touched the outline carelessly. It became so unclear that Nanima had to redraw
it. But slowly, the bright patterns of rice was transformed into a beautiful peacock(孔雀).
All of a sudden, the phone rang. “I'll be right back in a moment,” Nanima said as she left to answer it. Manju
admired the peacock in wonder. Then he spotted a small gap on Nanima's side.
A gap! Should he fix it?
