Driving to a meeting at the Calgary Construction Association, I relaxed to CBC Radio, eager for
non-construction news. I heard an interview with Elaine, who’d taught Chicago’s cast to sing and was selling a new
singing-lesson CD. Having just been “fired” from my husband’s band for not taking singing seriously, I thought I
should buy it.
Two years later, on a lunch break, I finally decided to look online and buy the CD. It turned out Elaine
Overholt was coming to Calgary that weekend!
On Saturday morning, I arrived at the Cantos Music Centre with 60 strangers. After we settled in, Elaine
arrived to enthusiastic applause. The morning involved vocal (发 声 的 ) exercises: controlled breathing, mouth
stretches, and sounds like “Maw-meee-mee-mee.”
Then came individual performances in front of the entire group. Nervous, I watched others perform. The first
woman went up and sang with a high, trembling voice — unlike her natural tone. I started fooling myself: I could
do this. Elaine gave her helpful advice and the woman thanked her before stepping down. The next student stepped
up and opened her mouth. She was great! Could be Celine Dion in disguise. When she stopped singing like an
angel, I made my move to sneak away.
“Nope!” Elaine yelled from the stage, pointing directly at me. I sank into my chair. She asked my preferred
key. “The lowest possible,” I requested. She played a note, and I sang her song about rainbows, instantly realizing
it was too high. By the end, only dogs could hear me. Elaine said, “You really made that your own,” and talked
about “key choice” and “breath control”.
As I left the stage, the crowd surprised me. A man shook my hand, grinning, “You just inspired me to try!”
Another woman hugged me, “Your courage moved me.” Their warmth transformed my embarrassment into pride
— I hadn’t sung perfectly, but I’d sung truly. And that mattered most.
4. Why did the author want to buy Elaine’s CD?
A. To prepare for a meeting. B. To better her singing.
C. To explore vocal coaching. D. To join her husband’s band.
5. How did the author feel after the first woman’s performance?
A. Secure and confident. B. Anxious and doubtful.
C. Amused and entertained. D. Lost and embarrassed.
第 5页/共 13页6. Why did the author try to leave before her turn?
A. She found the activity a little boring.
B. She worried about not finding the right key.
C. She felt discouraged after hearing an excellent singer.
D. She didn’t like performing in front of too many people.
7. How did others react to the author’s performance?
A. They appreciated her courage. B. They offered her further guidance.
C. They were impressed by her voice. D. They encouraged her to sing more.
C
The centuries-old practice of spreading crushed limestone (石灰石) on farmland can improve crop yields (产
量) by making soil less acidic. This custom is typically considered a source of greenhouse gas emissions, but new
findings suggest “liming” may actually help remove large amounts of CO from the atmosphere.
2
“Liming can be a carbon source or sink. Practical tests suggest this is a pretty efficient carbon sink,” says
Noah Planavsky at Yale University. This could offer new motivation to spread more limestone on the world’s farms
— but liming won’t have this effect everywhere.
Currently, most crushed limestone spread on fields is counted as an emission source because its carbon is
released as CO when it dissolves (溶解) in acidic soil. However, Tim Jesper Suhrhoff, also at Yale, argues this
2
accounting is incomplete. Soils are very acidic due to fertiliser use and fossil-fuel pollution, and other alkaline (碱
性的) minerals in soil will release carbon even without limestone. He says added acidity, not liming, is to blame for
emissions.
To accurately assess liming’s emissions, researchers should compare CO release and uptake with and without
2
liming. Suhrhoff, Planavsky and colleagues studied the Mississippi river basin, calculating the net carbon effect of
liming between 1900 and 2015. They used geochemical models and data on soil-acidity changes from fertiliser and
liming, and compared results with Mississippi alkalinity measurements. Their new approach showed liming in this
region removed about 300 to 400 million tonnes of CO instead of generating emissions.
2
Planavsky says liming could be paired with spreading crushed volcanic rocks on farms to remove more CO .
2
Wolfram Buss at the Australian National University warns that what worked in the Mississippi may not work
everywhere as liming can be a net CO source in some systems.
2
The next step is to identify regions needing liming most. Planavsky says, “It could promote practices aiding
第 6页/共 13页crop yields and removing billions of tonnes of CO , helping low-income farmers who can’t afford optimal liming.”
2
8. What does the underlined word “sink” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. A place to wash hands. B. A tool for farming.
C. A thing to absorb substances. D. A type of geological rock.
9. According to Tim Jesper Suhrhoff, what is the real cause of CO emissions in soil?
2
A. Natural alkaline substances.
B Crushed limestone dissolving.
C. Fossil-fuel pollution and fertilizer use.
D. Crushed volcanic rock spreading
10. What is the next step for liming research?
A. Stopping liming in acidic soil. B. Finding areas most in need of liming.
C. Reducing costs for all farmers. D. Expanding volcanic rock use globally.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Liming has been increasing greenhouse gases.
B. Reducing soil acidity benefits crop production.
C. Global agriculture should universally adopt liming.
D. New studies indicate liming’s potential CO absorption

Unlike traditional rigid robots, soft robotics are built from flexible materials that copy the natural movements
of living creatures. This design enables them to move through narrow spaces like disaster debris or complex paths
inside the human body. However, adding sensors has been difficult. “The key was making them smart,” explains
researcher Larry Cheng from Penn State University, “We needed robots that sense and act independently.”
The solution lies in electronic parts designed to bend. Traditional hard electronics limit robot movement, but
Cheng’s team used bendable electronics spread across the body. They added magnetic materials inside. By
adjusting magnetic fields, robots crawl, roll and twist wirelessly and battery-free.
Developing this technology faced two main obstacles. First, even bendable electronics are much stiffer than
the robot’s soft material. “We arranged electronics like puzzle pieces to fit flexibly,” Cheng explained. Second,
magnetic fields used for control can disturb electronic signals. The team redesigned circuits (电路) to prevent this
interference, keeping sensors accurate near strong magnets.
第 7页/共 13页These improvements allow robots to work with less human guidance. In rescue missions, they could find
trapped people by detecting body heat. Medical versions might sense chemical changes to deliver drugs exactly
where needed. Researchers are developing a pill-sized robot that patients could swallow. “It could examine the
digestive system, collect samples, or treat diseases without surgery,” said Korean scientist Suk-Won Hwang, Cheng’
s partner.
Future plans include creating tiny robots for blood vessel treatments. “Injected into veins, they could repair
heart problems or target cancer cells,” Cheng described. Though unnamed yet, these robots might get
public-suggested names. “That’s a fun idea,” Cheng laughed when asked about naming possibilities.
12. What is a major advantage of soft robotics?
A. Rigid electronic control. B. Stiffer structural components
C. Strong built-in power supplies. D. Flexible movements in narrow spaces
13. What problems did researchers face in developing the soft robots?
A. High cost and material scarcity.
B. Sensor accuracy and medical risks.
C. Stiff electronics and signal interference.
D. Limited movement and power shortage.
14. What can be inferred about future medical treatments in paragraph 4?
A. Doctors will be replaced by robots.
B. Robots can only assist in diagnoses.
C. Treatment costs will significantly decrease.
D. Certain surgeries may become unnecessary.
15. How did Cheng feel about letting the public name the robots?
A. Deeply moved. B. Lightly amused.
C. Slightly doubtful. D. Completely uninterested.

第 11页/共 13页Devin had a strong competitive spirit since childhood and always felt alive on the basketball court. His sister
Mia had seen him win many times. But life took a turn when Mia was diagnosed with cancer. The family focused
on taking care of her, and Devin spent most of his free time by her side, missing a lot of school basketball training.
Still, he got the chance to enter the annual three-point contest. He was eager to participate, mainly wanting to
let Mia get out of the hospital for a few hours.
On the day of the contest at the community center, Devin was nervous. The rules were straightforward: five
shooting spots with three shots each. Starting from the left corner, he rushed his first shot and missed. The second
and third shots also didn’t go in. The audience sighed. Moving to the next spots, his rhythm was off, and by the
fourth station, he’d missed nine shots continuously. The scoreboard showed “0”, and he could hear the audience
laughing.
He looked at the sidelines where Mia, pale from recent chemotherapy (化 疗 ) but determined, sat in a
wheelchair. She’d insisted on coming and shouted, “You’ve got this, Devin!”
Devin took a deep breath. At the final spot, he focused, bent his knees, and shot. Score! The second shot also
went in. But the last shot bounced off the rim (篮筐). He didn’t win as the defending champion had already won.
As Devin left the court, Mia wheeled over with tears in her eyes. “You didn’t give up,” she said softly. Devin
hugged her and whispered, “Neither did you.” Kneeling beside her, he said sadly, “But I didn’t make it.” Mia shook
her head. “You tried. That’s what counts.” Devin managed a smile, but he wasn’t sure if there’d be a next time.
