My height embarrassed me! One of the greatest lessons my dad taught me was to beat the jokers to the punch. If I am
going to be a punchline(笑柄),I'd rather be the author of the joke.
英语试题 第 3 页 共 9 页There was a lot of name-calling. Some cruel, some not. I have blocked out much of the cruel In junior high, a well-
meaning acquaintance called me Stretch. In university, I was Shortly brought on myself when a friend said,“I’ll see you
shortly,”to which I replied,“Sounds good, and don't call me Shortly.6
Jokes and nicknames aside, there were some real challenges as a short person. Studies have shown short men tend to
make less money on average. This is why I hated in-person job interviews.I always feared my height would cost me an

As I get older, and obviously wiser, it doesn't get to me as much. There are some benefits of being short. I find airplane
seats spacious. I am good at hide and seek. I rarely bump my head.Would I still want to be taller? Of course. But I wouldn't
be me. I am me because I'm short. And Ilike who I am.
It's such a part of me that I cheer on fellow short people. Lionel Messi is the greatest soccer player of all time (and
even he gets mocked) Bruno Mars may be the original short king. Small victories.
I don't remember when I became okay with being short. But at some point, like I have done my entire life, things
started looking up.

The topic of China’s“slash youth”has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse
pursuits of the younger generation.
英语试题 第 4 页 共 9 页The slash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation means those who refuse to be defined or
bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such
as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they
pursue meaningful achievements.
A study on “slash youth”published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon:
with part of modern society's structured organization and stability norms are broken, flexible labor markets and structural
unemployment has emerged, eliminating the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also
face the dilemma of self-actualization, including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self-identity in
the profession.. which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The‘slash life’shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive,and it welcomes everyone's
self fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher fromTianjin Academy of Social Sciences. The researcher added
that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the“slash
life”of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.
28. Which is true about the. slash youth?
A. Tending to pursue meaningful achievements.
B. Enjoying posting themselves on social media.
C. Adjusting themselves to challenges in life.
D. Refusing to undertake multiple careers.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The significance of flexible labor markets.
B. Reasons for the appearance of slash youth.
C. Young people's interest in their profession.
D. Causes of losing power among the youth.
30. What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life?
A. It can gain people's independence.
B. It inspires young people's creativity.
C. It can pick up an economic growth.
D. It enables young people to earn high.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To provide latest career guidance.
B. To introduce a social phenomenon.
C. To analyze a new cultural difference.
D. To highlight a unique life experience.

A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience last week revealed soil samples collected by China's Chang'e-5 lunar
probe contained impact glass beads(珠子) that held water in the form of hydroxyl(氢), a molecule consisting of one oxygen
atom and one hydrogen atom. Hydroxyl ion is one of the most common ions found in water.
These glass beads are created when meteoroids(流星体) hit the moon's surface, throwing up hot molten droplets which
then cool and turn solid. They function like a sponge, soaking up hydrogen atoms carried by the solar wind to form hydroxyl,
thus playing a key role in the water cycle of the lunar surface.
英语试题 第 5 页 共 9 页While each be ad only holds a tiny amount of water, these glass balls are so ubiquitous on the moon researchers
estimated lunar soils could store as much as 270 billion metric tons of water. For decades, scientists thought the moon was
bone dry until discoveries in recent years revealed its soil could hold water.
“The moon potentially holding 270 billion metric tons of water is quite substantial, though it pales in comparison to the
amount of water in the Earth's oceans," said Hu Sen, a researcher from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences.
These findings not only provide insight on the origins, storage, and transportation of water on celestial(天空的) bodies
without atmospheres, but they also may prove helpful for planning and building a sustainable human habitat on these planets,
he added.
32. What do glass beads on the moon's surface function?
A. As a sponge taking in hydrogen atoms.
B. As meteoroids hitting the moon's surface.
C. As hydroxyl beneath the lunar surface.
D. As a source of energy for water cycle.
33. What does the underlined word“ubiquitous”mean in paragraph.3?
A. Rare. B. Common. C. Obvious. D. Energetic.
34. What could be the potential sources of water on the lunar surface?
A. Water from Earth. B. Water from the sun.
C. Water from the stars. D. Water from meteoroids.
35. What's the best title of this passage?
A. The Key Role of Hydroxyl in Lunar
B. New Discoveries based on Moon's
C. Glass Beads Found on Moon's Surface
D. Scientists Discover Water Reservoir

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。
It happened on one Sunday morning a few days ago. When I was about to have my routine cup of coffee along with a
bagel, I realized that I did not have any bread at all. I have to admit that I am unable to enjoy coffee without some kind of
baked food.
I decided to run out to buy something. However, all the stores were closed, but one. That store did not have any fresh
pastries, and I ended up buying four slices of wheat bread. I was frustrated for two reasons: my favourite routine-Sunday
coffee ruined, and the saleswoman charged me $3 for four slices of bread. I returned to the building where I lived on the tenth
floor, stepped into the elevator, pushed the button, and got out. When I reached my apartment and tried to unlock the door,I
could not turn the key. I made a few attempts but without success. I started banging on the door,hoping to wake up my
daughter. I was not successful at that either.
I can't explain how it crossed my mind to check the number of the apartment. The apartment number was correct,
except for the first digit: the apartment was on the ninth floor, not the tenth. I was shocked to realize that I had been banging
on somebody else's door.
I still think over what might have happened if somebody had opened the door and what he or she would have said to me
at 8:00 am on Sunday morning.
