The moment is recorded in sports history, not as a triumph, but as a seeming defeat. In 1978, a
young Michael Jordan, passionate and full of dreams, tried out for the college basketball team at
Laney High School. However, he was cut from the team for his lack of height and skill. For Jordan,
this wasn’t just a rejection; it was a challenge. Instead of giving in to disappointment, he transformed
it into an extraordinary drive.
This early failure became the fuel for his legendary work ethic. He adopted a mindset ofcontinuous forward progress, a perfect example of “onwards and upwards.” He began waking up
before dawn to practice. He would spend hours alone on the court, honing his shooting, his dribbling,
and his defensive moves. His competitive fire burned constantly; he turned every minor setback into a
reason to improve.
His journey was anything but smooth. After rising to stardom at the University of North Carolina
and being drafted by the Chicago Bulls, Jordan faced tough opponents like the Detroit Pistons, who
repeatedly knocked his team out of the playoffs(季后赛) with their physical “Jordan Rules.” Yet, each
defeat only hardened his resolve.
The ultimate proof of his strong spirit came after he finally led the Bulls to their first NBA
championship in 1991. This victory was not the end of his story. He went onwards, leading the Bulls
to two more consecutive titles, achieving a historic “three-peat.” Then, following the tragic murder of
his father, he shocked the world by retiring from basketball to pursue baseball---a new difficult
challenge that showcased his courage to start again from the bottom.
But the basketball court called him back. In 1995, he returned to the Bulls with the simple
message, “I’m back.” He led the team to a second, even more difficult “three-peat” from 1996 to
1998, solidifying his legacy as the greatest. Michael Jordan’s story teaches us that it is the courage to
face setbacks, the discipline to keep improving, and the spirit to always move forward that truly
defines a champion.
24. What was Jordan’s immediate reaction after being cut from the high school team?
A. He decided to quit basketball forever.
B. He accepted the reason for his rejection.
C. He saw it as a challenge and became more determined.
D. He blamed his teammates for the failure.
25. Why did Jordan shock the world by retiring from basketball in 1993?
A. He wanted to prove he was the greatest player without winning more titles.
B. He lost his passion for basketball after winning his first championship.
C. He sought a new challenge as a way of dealing with a personal tragedy.
D. He had a serious injury that prevented him from playing at a high level.
26. What can be inferred about Jordan’s character from his training habits?
A. He relied mostly on his natural talent.
B. He believed success came from nonstop hard work.
C. He preferred to practice alone rather than with the team.
D. He was often discouraged by minor setbacks.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To list all the awards Michael Jordan won in his career.
B. To describe the history of the Chicago Bulls basketball team.
C. To show how Jordan overcame setbacks with a never-give-up spirit.
D. To compare Jordan’s career with other basketball players.

Laughter is regarded as a universal language, but its social functions are more complex than they
appear. Beyond expressing amusement, laughter serves as a powerful tool for building social bonds
and communicating our position within a group. To explore this, a team of researchers led by
Christopher Oveis, an associate professor at the University of California, San Diego, conducted a
revealing study in 2016.
The research focused on 48 male members of university student clubs, a setting with clear social
classes. The participants were grouped into mixes of senior members (high-status) and new members
(low-status), and their natural conversations were recorded. The analysis of their laughter showed a
clear distinction. High-status individuals consistently produced what was classified as “dominant
laughter” — characterized by being louder, more variable in pitch, and less held back. In contrast,
low-status individuals exhibited “submissive laughter” —which was typically quieter, shorter, and
more constrained. In a follow-up experiment, another group of students listened to recordings of
these laughs. Without any other context, they consistently identified the “dominant” laughs as
belonging to individuals with more influence and power within the group.
This study demonstrates that laughter is far from a simple, uniform reaction to humour. It is a rich
social signal, deeply woven into the fabric of our relationships and status. The act of laughing,
therefore, is not just about sharing a joke; it is a nuanced performance that can both reflect and
reinforce our social identity. Understanding the science behind laughter helps us appreciate its true
power in our daily interactions.
28. What was the main objective of Christopher Oveis’s 2016 study?
A. To prove that laughter is a universal language.
B. To investigate the link between laughter and social status.
C. To teach people how to use laughter to build social bonds.
D. To compare the laughter frequencies of different social groups.
29. What does the underlined word “constrained” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Natural and automatic.
B. Controlled and restricted.
C. Loud and noticeable.
D. Happy and pleasant.30. What does the follow-up experiment suggest?
A. People can accurately detect social status from laughter alone.
B. Most people prefer the sound of “dominant laughter”.
C. The funniness of a joke is largely overestimated.
D. Group settings have little effect on how people laugh.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Laughter as the Best Medicine
B. The Role of Laughter in Social Clubs
C. The Social Secret of Laughter
D. The Different Types of Human Laughter

Nature’s Hidden Light: The Secrets of Bioluminescence
In the darkest depths of the ocean, a fascinating phenomenon occurs—living creatures produce
their own light. This ability, called bioluminescence, is not just for show. It is a complex and crucial
tool for survival, developed through millions of years of evolution. Scientists are dedicated to
revealing how this mysterious “cold light” works.
The fundamental process behind this light is a chemical reaction. It involves a molecule named
luciferin(荧光素) and an enzyme called luciferase. When luciferin combines with oxygen, accelerated
by the luciferase enzyme, light is produced. This process is highly efficient and generates almost no
heat. For a long time, however, the origin of luciferin in many marine animals was a puzzle. Were
they making it themselves, or getting it from their diet?
A major breakthrough came from the work of Dr. Osamu Shimomura. In the 1960s, he conducted
a long-term study focused on a specific type of jellyfish. Through extensive and committed
experiments, his team managed to isolate two key proteins: one that produces blue light and the
famous green fluorescent protein (GFP). This foundational work, which later earned him a Nobel
Prize, provided the essential basis for future research.
The question of where luciferin comes from was further addressed by Dr. Steven Haddock and his
team. In a 2018 project, they employed advanced underwater robots to gather and examine numerous
deep-sea organisms. Their analysis showed that many different species shared the same luciferin. This
significant finding suggested that these animals were not producing the molecule internally. Instead,
they were likely obtaining it through their diet, creating a hidden network where this vital substance is
transferred through the food chain.
The revelation of these natural secrets has profoundly transformed modern science. The GFP
protein, for instance, has become an essential tool in biology and medicine. By attaching the GFPgene to other genes, scientists can now witness and track processes like the growth of diseases or the
development of nerves in real time, turning a natural wonder into a powerful scientific asset.
32. What was the main goal of Dr. Shimomura’s research?
A. To find new species of jellyfish in the deep ocean.
B. To prove that bioluminescence could be used for lighting.
C. To identify and separate the glowing proteins from a jellyfish.
D. To study the eating habits of bioluminescent creatures.
33. What may Dr. Haddock’s team agree with?
A. All marine organisms have the same genes to produce it.
B. It is passed along the food chain when animals eat each other.
C. The luciferin is produced by underwater robots.
D. Sunlight triggers its production in the deep sea.
34. What is a major application of GFP in scientific research today?
A. It serves as a primary food source in laboratories.
B. It helps generate heat for chemical reactions.
C. It enables the visual tracking of biological activities.
D. It is used to create decorative lights for cities.
35. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this article?
A. To encourage tourism to see bioluminescent bays.
B. To describe the career paths of famous chemists.
C. To explain the science behind a natural wonder and its research breakthroughs.
D. To argue that all deep-sea creatures possess high intelligence.

项。
In the heart of bustling cities, a green revolution is quietly taking place. Rooftops, balconies, and
even small community gardens are being transformed into productive spaces for growing food. This
movement, known as urban farming, is not just about producing fresh vegetables. 36
One of the most immediate benefits of urban farming is access to fresh, nutritious food. 37
This means vegetables can be harvested at their peak ripeness, retaining more nutrients and flavor
than store-bought alternatives that may have traveled long distances.
38 Tending to plants, even for a short time each day, has been shown to reduce stress and
improve mood. The physical activity involved in gardening also provides gentle exercise, which
benefits both physical and mental health.Urban farms also play a surprising role in protecting city environments. Plants help to clean the
air by absorbing carbon dioxide and other pollutants. 39 This can reduce the energy needed for
cooling buildings in summer.
Moreover, these green spaces bring people together. Community gardens, in particular, create
opportunities for neighbors to connect, share knowledge, and build stronger relationships. 40 For
many children in cities, a community garden might be their first chance to see how food grows,
fostering a deeper understanding of nature from a young age.
A. For example, city residents can grow lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs right outside their kitchens.
B. By covering sun-baked surfaces with vegetation,they act as natural shade.
C. Beyond putting food on the table, it offers a range of unexpected rewards that enrich city life.
D. Urban farming can turn empty and lifeless spaces into vibrant and beautiful places.
E. In addition to physical health, urban farming is a powerful tool for mental well-being.
F. You may even discover a hidden passion for gardening you never knew you had.
G. This social aspect strengthens community bonds and can even pass valuable skills to the next
generation.

How do we assess what makes a good conversation? Is it by how many times we laugh? Or is it
41 by how we feel afterwards—how deeply the words have 42 us? There is one
conversation where I can 43 almost word-for-word in my head. These words have even 44
the course of my life.
In 2016, I walked into a small valley in Jordan. A young boy called Faisal saw me kicking
football with some kids and 45 me.
“I saw you playing football,” he told me. “You were very good.”
“Thanks,” I replied, “but you’re being too 46 . I was not good at it.”
“Oh yes,” he said. “Your skills are 47 . But it was good of you to play with the boys.”
He told me about his two jobs—one looking after sheep in the hills, and one looking after tourists.
The sheep were easier, he said. Later, as he 48 how the world was, he told me a saying: “Give
without remembering; take without 49 .”
Faisal’s background was quite different from mine. And yet he held this 50 philosophy,
and the more I travel, the more I see that the world is 51 a good place. There is more that
connects us than divides us—of that, I’m certain.
The fact that I will again have 52 to part of these remarkable conversations—each will beunique, and may even leave a 53 in my life—is still one of the most exciting 54 of
travel for me. For that possibility, I’m forever 55 .

The old wooden cabin stood at the edge of the vast pine forest, a symbol of my grandfather’s
legacy. I had spent the entire autumn afternoon sorting through his belongings—fishing rods,
yellowed maps, and jars of forgotten nails. Dust motes danced in the slants of fading sunlight as I
worked, the silence broken only by the whisper of wind through the pines.
It was during a momentary lull that I first heard it—a faint, desperate scratching at the door.
Assuming it was a low-hanging branch, I initially paid no mind. But the sound persisted, growing
more urgent with each passing minute. Curiosity aroused, I finally rose and opened the heavy oak
door.
There,curled up on the weathered doorstep, was a sight that touched my heart—a young red fox,
its fur matted with mud and one hind leg held at an unnatural angle. Its eyes, dark pools of
intelligence and pain, met mine. For a long moment, neither of us moved. I expected it to flee, but it
merely let out a weak cry, a soft, pleading sound that seemed to hang in the cool evening air.
I remembered my grandfather’s stories—how he would sometimes leave out leftovers for the
forest creatures, speaking of a special understanding with a mother fox who visited him yearly.
Could this be one of her descendants? The fox, as if reading my thoughts, lowered its head in a
gesture that seemed less like animal submission and more like a request for help.
Night was falling fast, and the temperature was dropping. I knew I couldn’t leave the injuredcreature outside. But could a wild animal truly trust a human? Would it allow me to help? I made a
slow, deliberate movement, reaching for a blanket from the nearby chair, my eyes never leaving the
fox’s weary, watchful gaze.
