B
Growing up in a poor rural area, I was fascinated by architecture in cities, and I went to college to study civil
engineering. However, as my degree progressed, I wasn’t sure what to study. Then the flood came, and it all became
clear.
After spending much of my summer volunteering in affected communities, I decided to focus my career on
natural disasters, exploring the various factors behind them, as well as their impacts on society. As a first step, I
applied for a master’s program in development studies. This decision shocked my friends and family, who thought
this path might make it hard for me to find a job. However, I was determined and went ahead with what I thought
was right for me.
The program, which exposed me to projects that helped communities plan for climate change and other
第2页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司disruptions, convinced me I was on the right path. I decided to apply for a PhD. It was a bold move given my uncertain
finances. I also found that many universities preferred candidates who had consistent academic backgrounds and
hadn’t moved around between engineering and the social sciences. During interviews, faculty members often
questioned why I chose to risk my career by changing fields. I received multiple rejections. Luckily, one program
agreed to accept me. I was excited to start the program and be surrounded by some of the brightest minds in the
country. It wasn’t easy, though. Most of my peers had followed a traditional path, without jumping around between
fields.
Now, 3 years into my program, I am confident in my decision to pursue a PhD. There have been challenges
along the way, but the opportunity to explore an issue I care so passionately about and try to help people makes it all
worthwhile. Above all, my journey has taught me that it’s OK to follow my heart, even when the path seems
unconventional.

As California faces a huge budget shortfall, library card holders may soon lose the ability to check out free
passes to more than 200 state parks, including popular destinations near Los Angeles.
The governmental budget for the upcoming year does not include money for what’s known as the California
State Library Parks Pass, which was launched two years ago to provide more fair access to the outdoors. “If the
program were to end, it would be sad because obviously some of our supporters are really enjoying using the passes,”
said Mary Cocking, a clerk at the San Francisco Public Library.
In April 2022, the California State Library and California State Parks launched the three-year pilot program,
handing out the passes to all public library branches across the state including mobile libraries. California State Parks
第3页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司said in a statement that it was “very proud” of the program, but did not indicate that a revised budget would add
money to extend the program.
With the library program at risk, the CSP Foundation, a large advocacy group, has raised a battle cry to try to
save it, writing to the government and launching a campaign that’s got 1,800 signatures. Rachel Norton, executive
director of the foundation, said funding for the project was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed
$291.5 billion budget.
As of last year, each library branch in California had an average of 24 parking tags, up from an initial four, state
officials said. Cocking said San Francisco has 611 passes in circulation, a number that increased significantly last
year. Librarians said the passes are especially popular in the spring and summer, when warm weather and vacations
draw people to the Golden State’s great outdoors. “It’s like travel books.” Cocking said. “Travel books sit on the
shelf a lot of the year, and then as it gets closer to summer, they’re all checked out.”
8. What was the California State Library Parks Pass launched for?
A. Promoting tourism B. Increasing incomes.
C. Reducing library visitors. D. Accessing outdoor spaces.
9. What does the underlined part “a drop in the bucket” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Large and significant amount. B. Very small or insignificant part.
C. Critical investment for the future. D. Wasteful and unnecessary expense.
10. Why does Cocking mention travel books in the last paragraph?
A. To show the similar seasonal popularity.
B. To criticize the low usage of park passes.
C. To note the decreasing demand for travel books.
D. To illustrate the increasing popularity of park passes.
.
11 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California faces budget crisis. B. Libraries may lose park passes.
C. California funded for park passes. D. Library program was well-received.

As the Chinese submersible (潜水器) Fendouzhe dived deeper, Weishu Zhao — an microbiologist at Shanghai
Jiao Tong University-glimpsed creatures glowing green, yellow, and orange against the dark. Upon reaching the sea
floor, more than 10,000 meters down, the team switched on the submersible lights to reveal “a profound and mysterious
blue” filled with drifting creatures. “At that moment,” Zhao says, “I knew immediately that the deep ocean must be
a much more thriving habitat than we had imagined.”
The Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench (海沟), the deepest of the world’s trenches, has long fascinated scientists
第4页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司and adventurers alike. To reach those depths, researchers used Fendouzhe, which Douglas Bartlett, a deep sea
microbiologist, describes as “an engineering miracle.” Capable of carrying three people to the very deepest parts of
the ocean, the vessel (船) is equipped with a pair of robotic arms and a sample basket, enabling it to collect hundreds of
samples in a single dive. Between August and November 2021, Fendouzhe made dozens of dives in the Mariana
Trench and neighboring regions, bringing back numerous samples.
“An incredible level of diversity was uncovered,” Bartlett says, referring to one new study that identified more
than 7,000 new species in the Mariana Trench, 89% of them new to science. The study co-author Mo Han says these
species have evolved strategies to survive despite darkness and a scarcity of nutrients. “Life finds more than one
way,” Han says.
Besides revealing a thriving ecosystem, the researchers also witnessed disturbing signs of human activity. During
their dives, Zhao explains, the team came across plastic bags, beer bottles, and soda cans — and even a nearly
undamaged laundry basket at the deepest part of another seafloor chasm, the Yap Trench. “This was deeply shocking to
us,” Zhao says. But they also discovered that deep-sea microbes seem to have a knack for breaking down pollutants
and using them for energy, she says, suggesting these organisms “might offer new solutions to current human
environmental pollution problems.”
12. What is mainly presented in paragraph 1?
A. The scene the researchers saw. B. The equipment used in the dive.
C. The history of deep-sea exploration. D. The challenges faced by the researchers.
13. What can we know about Fendouzhe?
.
A It tests samples during dives. B. It operates without human pilots.
C. It's China’s most advanced vessel. D. It has finished many deep-sea dives.
14. According to Mo Han, what’s the most impressive aspect of the new-found species?
A. Their ability to glow. B. Their rapid reproduction.
C. Their survival approaches. D. Their remarkable diversity.
15. What might be the focus of the future study according to the last paragraph?
A. Technology for deep-sea trash collection. B. The impact of human trash on deep-sea life.
C. Microbes' potential to reveal the ecosystem. D. Microbes' transformation of pollutants into energy.

阅读下列短文，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。
It’s common to hear that being “emotional” is the opposite of being “rational (理性的)”. For many people, there
is no place for emotion in rational thinking. ____16____
We found that individuals who score higher on tests of intelligence and rationality don’t ignore emotions. Instead,
第5页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司they pay more attention to emotions and are better at recognizing and understanding emotions. ____17____ Emotions
tell us what we want, and we can’t make smart decisions without first knowing what our goals are.
For example, as a mother, if I want to make my children happy, and I know they like video games, it would
make sense for me to buy them a video game. ____18____ You can see from this example that a rational decision
can’t be made unless I know multiple pieces of emotional information.
Anticipating others’ emotions sharpens leadership by letting us forecast reactions. ____19____ Noting pre-
speech anxiety, for instance, I practise extra rather than ignore it and risk on-stage distraction.
Of course, it’s important to identify situations where emotional influences may not be helpful as well. Here,
individuals who score higher on rationality tests may be better at reflecting on whether an emotion will be helpful or
not in a given situation. ____20____ For example, expressing too much anger or sadness to your boss when you
don’t get a promotion may not be in your best interest.
In general, if we want to be rational and make the best decisions, we should desire as much information as we
can get, and information about emotions can often be especially useful.
A. But, if homework focus matters, skip the game.
B. Anticipating our own guides long-term decisions.
C. However, some recent work from our lab suggests the opposite.
D. They can then completely ignore any emotion that seems unhelpful.
E. They can then make their decision after giving it more thorough consideration.
F. This is because most intelligent decision-making requires emotional information.
G. Indeed, most scientists have long believed that emotions disturb rational thinking.

The Great Feast
第8页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司One day, Mrs. White came into a nursery room where four little children sat on the floor with sad and troubled
faces. She knelt down and gently asked what was troubling them.
Jimmy, one of the nursery’s little ones, explained that they had wanted to have a grand feast. Mrs. White
responded warmly that such a feast sounded absolutely delightful, but Tammy quickly cut in to say there was only
one cookie. Jimmy added, with a deepening frown, that the cookie wasn’t even big enough for just himself.
The other two children said nothing. Instead, they stared at the cookie with wide eyes, their mouths turned
down at the corners in obvious disappointment.
“Well,” smiled Mrs. White, “suppose we have the feast just the same! I think we can manage it.”
She broke the cookie into four pieces, and gave one piece to the littltest child. “See!” she pointed out. “This is
a roast chicken, a Brown Bantam. It is just as brown and sweet as it can be, and there is strawberry jam on one side,
and on the other a little mountain of mashed potato (土豆泥). It must be a volcano, and it smokes so. Do you see?”
“Yes!” cheered the littlest one, and his mouth went down in the middle and up at the corners.
Mrs. White gave a piece to the next child. “Here,” she said softly, “is a little pie! Outside, as you see, it is
brown and tasty, with a wreath of pastry leaves (酥皮叶子) round the edge and ‘For You’ in the middle, but inside it
is al chicken and ham and jelly and hard-boiled eggs. Did ever you see such a pie?” “Never I did!” cried the child.
“Now here,” Mrs. White told Jimmy, the third child, “is a round cake. Look at it! The frosting is half an inch
thick, with candied leaves and roses laid on in true-lovers’ knots (同心结) and inside there are chopped-up peanuts,
and raisins (葡萄干), and great slices of lemons. It is the prettiest cake I ever saw, and the best.” “So it is I did!”
nodded the third child.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then Mrs. White gave the last piece to Tammy.
