North Americans value independence，and Europeans value togetherness.I never fully
understood that stereotype until two months ago，when I left Canada for a 4－month
period in a lab in France.On my first day，Pierre，a Ph.D.student，tapped me on my
shoulder and asked，“Coffee？”I nodded and followed him to the common room，
where other grad students were filing in.I sat there，cautiously sipping the bitter liquid
and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured taste，while lab chatter filled the air.
Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here.The chatter sometimes turns to
serious scientific topics.But mostly，the meet－ups offer a chance to wind down，to
share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who
understand what you’re going through.
The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life
in Canada，where I spent most of my workdays in isolation.I went into the lab each
morning with set goals for my day.At lunch，I’d keep my eyes glued to my computer
while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth，trying to power through my to－do
list.For 9 months，I struggled to figure out why I couldn’t exactly copy the results of
another study.I didn’t want to trouble my advisor too much.I was also hesitant to ask
my lab mates for help.
How much we were missing！Researchers need community because good ideas don’t
just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts.It’s helpful to bounce
ideas off others，and，to have a venue to share the day－to－day ups and downs of
life.Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems？Probably not.But I think sharing
ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma.My time in France
has taught me that it’s important to create space for organic conversations about lab
life.A scientist can feel isolated，but it’s not necessarily so when you’re connected to a
supportive community.
4．How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France?
A．A little nervous. B．Very happy.
C．Somewhat excited. D．Quite curious.
5．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．Cultural ceremonies in France.
B．Various topics of the chatter.
C．The benefits of coffee breaks.
D．Lab culture in France.
6．What was the author’s life like back in Canada?
A．Comfortable and fulfilled. B．Busy and lonely.
C．Tense but satisfactory. D．Boring but healthy.
7．Why does the author write this passage?
A．To introduce the coffee break in Europe.
B．To explain the difference between cultures.
C．To recall his personal experience in France.
D．To convey the importance of a supportive circle.

One of the tallest wooden buildings in Europe ，a 98m timber ( 木材 ) mixture
skyscraper (摩天大楼)，is to rise in Berlin.
The 29－storey WoHo tower，to be designed by a firm of Norwegian architects，is
intended to be a “lighthouse project” for low－carbon construction，towering over
Potsdamer Platz and the Landwehr Canal.
Its core，including lifts and a staircase，is to be built around a steel－reinforcedconcrete structure but the rest of the building，including flats，offices，cafes and a
kindergarten，will be fashioned from wooden beams (横梁) and panels.
“As Norwegians，we are used to working a lot with timber，”Nicolai Riise，CEO
of the Mad Architects’ Practice，said.
“Timber demonstrates sustainability from top to bottom.Its carbon footprint is close
to zero and it’s a fantastic building material.If you look at this in a broader way，it’s
one of the ways we are going to be able to beat the climate crisis.”
Wooden skyscrapers，once regarded as an unprofitable pipe dream，have become a
realistic prospect with the coming of cross－laminated building techniques and more
flexible planning laws.Because these structures’ parts are fitted with care，they can be
far lighter than their concrete equivalents ( 相等的东西) and are thought to be
relatively resistant to fire.A cubic meter of wood can also absorb an estimated ton of
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Larger wooden structures are planned elsewhere.London is examining blueprints for
the 300－meter Oakwood Tower.Another project in Tokyo could rise to 350m.
8．What can we know about WoHo tower?
A．It will be among the tallest in Europe.
B．It will be mostly made of wood.
C．It is designed by a Norwegian architect.
D．Its core is to be built with timber.
9．Why do Norwegians prefer using timber to construct buildings?
A．Timber is too flexible.
B．Timber is easy to process.
C．Timber is eco－friendly.
D．Timber is multi－functional.
10．What makes it possible to build wooden skyscrapers?
A．The concrete equivalents.
B．Creative planning.
C．Fire－resistant materials.
D．New building techniques.11．In which section of a newspaper can you find this text?
A．Architecture. B．Comment.
C．Literature. D．Business.

Many older people around the world have at least one common concern：How to get
younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic literature.Take
the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example.The main character in the 16th－
century classic novel, Journey to the West，is a romantic figure of bravery and
adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor
of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best－known chapters
from Journey to the West.This film, expected to create a new channel to promote
Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera.It covers all the
basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial
representations of different figures’ characteristics.
It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its
own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu，director of the film, who is adopting a fresh
approach to present the traditional art form.One challenge that Cheng and his
production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the
fundamentals of the art.The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera
cannot be changed.
Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live
band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the
prerecorded music.“If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference
for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art，” Cheng said.
On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not
just want to document a stage performance.Computer technology is also applied to
achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but they gave way to
more diverse entertainment.In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity
of Peking Opera films.However, the overuse of special effects in many film
adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage
performances.The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a
film’s expression.
12．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
B．To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
C．To express older people’s concern about the young generation.
D．To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
13．What did Director Cheng do while producing the film?
A．He made changes to basic performance skills.
B．He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C．He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.
D．He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.
14．What innovation did Cheng’s team make?
A．They opposed a rigid recording of the performance.
B．They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C．They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D．They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
15．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B．Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C．There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D．The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.

Critical thinking means absorbing important information and using that to form adecision or an opinion of your own.__1__ But luckily，it’s something you can train
yourself to do better.
One of the most important parts of thinking critically is learning what details
matter.We’re exposed to so much information and so many different opinions every
day that it’s really easy to get lost in the details.__2__
Knowing which details matter is the first part of critical thinking，but it’s pretty
useless if you don’t know what types of questions to ask next.__3__ It’s important to
always ask yourself why something is important and how it connects to things you
already know.As you do that，you train your brain to think critically about more
information you come across.
As with anything，if you want to get good at critical thinking，you need to practice it
every day.__4__ This could be casual observations or a notebook with opinions，but
the point is to write every single day.Likewise，participating in a healthy debate with
friends is great practice.
__5__ The more knowledge you gain，the better you’ll become at thinking about
it.That doesn’t mean you should be constantly thinking about thinking，but the end
result is a brain that automatically forms better arguments，clear ideas，and creative
solutions to problems.
A．Critical thinking doesn’t end.
B．It doesn’t always come naturally to us.
C．Critical thinking can’t be learned in school.
D．You should question all the provided details.
E．One easy way to do this is to keep a journal of some kind.
F．After all，thinking critically and asking questions go hand in hand.
G．Subsequently，we need to train ourselves to learn which details matter.

Ever since she received a little toy airliner as a birthday gift，Kate Korolevskaya has
been attracted by flight.From flying remote－controlled airplanes to building her own
model ones，Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions，but only
until recently has she been able to take that to new heights.
When Kate heard about the Upwind Scholarship from her school counselor，she knew
it was an extraordinary opportunity to realize her dream.The program’s mission is to
provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilot’s license (PPL) for students
in between their junior and senior year of high school free of charge.
After completing a lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into theprogram，Kate began her training.Normally，recipients of the scholarship would
attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying.Due to the
COVID－19 pandemic (大流行病)，however，Kate spent hours each weekend
studying online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework.Once
summer came around，Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks in ground
school，reviewing flight training from nine to five every day.“It was the toughest
part of the program，”Kate said.
After completing that portion of ground school，Kate was finally able to begin flying
at the San Carlos Airport with the other scholarship recipients from around the Bay
Area.Flying，especially for first－timers like Kate，is a hands－on process involving
lots of checklists to make sure the important tasks are being taken care of.
Now，having finished the program and earned her PPL，Kate plans on training as a
flight instructor and hopes to become an airline pilot in her future.
She credits the Upwind Scholarship with all she’s been able to accomplish so far and
hopes that anyone who shares her passion will look into it.“It is a very hard
scholarship to get into，and you have to be truly interested in flight，”Kate said.“ It
can’t be something like ‘Oh，why don’t I try flying this summer？’You have to be
ready to do a lot of work and put in effort in order to succeed in the program.”

What about your emotions ？How do they help you to understand what you are
reading?
In Jane Yolen’s Owl Moon，a girl explores with her father on a snowy night.She
longs for this special night.And she’s amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt
longing before？Amazement？Well，if you have，it helps you have a sense of
agreement.When we can put ourselves inside a story we can understand it better.Our
brain tells us，“Oh，this girl’s experience is a bit like mine.”We can relate to
her.But this skill is not born in us.So young kids have to learn it.
Pictures and images help young readers to understand and recognize feelings.Readers
feel joy when seeing the smiling faces of friends.They feel fear when turning the page
to find a scary monster.They are just pictures，but the feelings are real.This skill，to
understand the thinking and feeling of others，is what researchers call “theory of
mind”．
For example，think about the faces of people and animals in stories—the Big Bad
Wolf’s scary teeth，the “o” shape of a surprised character’s mouth，or big，wide
eyes like the girl’s in Owl Moon.By noticing the faces，readers can start to figure out
what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and
think in real life.But most young readers don’t go into deep，scary woods.And some may not go to the
beach or play basketball.In the book Yo！Yes？，two kids meet and play ball.The kids
start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on，they get closer until they
are together.Some young readers might not play basketball，but they can read the
clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not
like the game ，but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the
characters look and move.
8．What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．Owl Moon talks about the exploration of the Moon.
B．The feeling of “amazement” is a sense of agreement.
C．Readers are blessed with the ability to understand others.
D．Readers with similar experience understand the story better.
9．Which of the following might help readers develop “theory of mind”？
A．True feelings. B．Smiling faces.
C．Picture books. D．Reading skills.
10．Young readers can go deeper into a story by ________．
A．tracking the plot
B．developing new skills
C．sharing similar hobbies
D．analyzing the background
11．What is the text mainly about?
A．How thinking influences reading.
