Every moming at 7:15, the flower lady appears at the 86th Street subway entrance. Her
name is Maria,though people usually call her la seňora de las rosas.For twenty-three years,
rain or shine,she has sold single roses from a metal cart for $2 each.
I first noticed her during my chaotic freshman year in college. Rushing to catch the train
one October day, I tripped over a loose sidewalk brick, dropping my textbooks everywhere.
Before I could react, Maria was beside me, gathering the pages with hands weathered by
decades of work."Be careful, my kid," she said sofly, pressing a rose into my palm(手心).
“Today needs beauty.”
That rose sat in a coffee cup on my dormitory desk for weeks. When it withered(凋谢),I
returned to buy another—and ended up listening to Maria's stories between customers. She
had immigrated(移居)from Colombia at sixteen, raised three children as a single mum,and
kept this corner colourful with flowers even after the increase in rent forced her to close her
actual shop.
Last winter, Maria disappeared for two weeks. Regular customers whispered wories
until a New York Post reporter discovered the truth: she'd used her savings to pay a
neighbor's medical bill.When she reappeared, wearing an oversized coat, the line at her cart
stretched around the block. Strangers brought bottles of hot chocolate; a ballet dancer
performed pirouettes for her amusement.
On my graduation day,I brought Maria a handmade crown offlowers.She laughed,her
wrinkles deepening like sunlit petals(花瓣), and pinned it above her usual seat.
Now,as a teacher, I tell my students about the woman who tumed a simple street corner
into a sanctuary of kindness. For twenty-three years, she didn’t just sell roses—she spread
hope, warmth, and the quiet magic of caring for strangers, proving beauty lives in ordinary
hearts.

Picture yourself halfway up a winding trail, lungs burning, legs trembling, the summit
still out of sight. You want to stop but you don't. Something quiet and steady inside keeps
you moving. That inner force, psychologists call grit(毅力)—the combination of persistence
(坚持)and passion that keeps us going after goals.
A new study from researchers at the China University of Geosciences explored what
really develops that quality in young adults—routine workouts in the gym or unpredictable
adventures in the wild. Over 1,200 university students took part in a 16-18 week course in
either traditional physical education or outdoor education. Their grit levels were measured
before and after the courses from two aspects:persistence of effort and consistency of interest.
The answer, it turns out,lies somewhere between sweat and scenery.
Both groups improved, but the difference was striking. Outdoor education produced
bigger gains across every measure of grit, especially persistence. Students who spent a term
facing real-world challenges became mentally stronger.That sense of mastery—“I can handle
this”—builds the same kind of grit linked to lower anxiety, better dealing with stress, and
greater life satisfaction.In contrast,traditional PE improved students'persistence but actually
reduced their interest consistency—their ability to stay engaged with long-term goals.
Repetitive routines, limited autonomy, and predictable settings may weaken curiosity over
time. Outdoor education,however, thrives on uncertainty.
Newness doesn't just keep us entertained;it keeps us engaged. From the perspective of
Self-Determination Theory, outdoor programs meet the three psychological needs that fuel
motivation: autonomy(you choose how to face challenges), competence (you see progress),
and relatedness (you rely on teammates). Together, they create a powerful recipe for inner
motivation.
三 5 12This sudy shows that the environment we learn in shapes not just our bodies but our
minds'ability to persist. In a world of digital distraction(分心)and instant satisfaction,
outdoor education reminds us that grit grows through hardship. For anyone seeking for
long-tem change, the message is simple: step outside.
28. Which one is most bencficial to the development of grit?
A.Running on the same school track.
B.Swimming in a sports center pool.
C.Climbing mountains in a natural park.
D.Playing basketball in an indoor stadium.
29.What does the underlined word “thrives” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Focuses. B. Grows. C.Depends. D.Survives.
30. Why is Self-Determination Theory mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To explain outdoor programs'motivational effect.
B.To analyze the physical benefits of newness in life.
C.To introduce the popularity of outdoor education.
D.To define the key driving factors of motivation.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A.Gnit contributes to the long-term change.
B.Outdoor challenges build a tougher mind.
C.Natural scenery improves mental health.
D.Routine workouts weaken inner motivation.

Beneath the ocean's surface lies a secret world of light.While bioluminescence—the
ability of living things to produce their own light—has long interested scientiss, a
lesser-known phenomenon called bio-fluorescence(生物荧光)is now stealing the spotlight.
Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it
out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike
bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions,bio-fluorescence depends
on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it
serves critical survival functions.
In the coral reefs(珊瑚礁) of the Pacific,researchers observed corals sending out green
under blue light. "It's a dance of partnership guided by light," explains marine biologist Dr.
Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching(白化)—a major threat to coral
ecosystems-would speed up.
Another wonder comes from,the Hawaiian bobtail squid(短尾乌贼).When threatened by
hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses
高三英语 第6 页(共12页)attackers, buying the squid, precious scconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter who led the study
notes, "This is evolution's version of a smoke screen—but far more shining."
The discovery of GFP—green fluorescent protein(绿色荧光蛋白)—in jellyfish in 1962
revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells,
making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping
map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer's. “GFP is a window into the brain's hidden
workings,"says brain scientist Dr.Maria Gonzalez.
Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For
example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent
markers could improve medical imaging. "Nature's designs are blueprints for human
innovation," says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel.
Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered,
their purposes stillunclear. As submarines dive deeper,each expedition reveals new players
in this beautiful underwater light show,proving that the ocean's depths still guard ancient
secrets.
32. How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence?
A.It is drawing less attention.
B. It produces brighter lights.
C. It needs an outside light source.
D.It makes better use of chemical reactions.
33. What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A.They both describe light-based hunting methods.
B.They both explain the formation of a close partnership.
C.They both highlight potential threats to the environment.
D.They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence.
34. What is the main use of GFP in science?
A. To protect corals from bleaching. B.To create more efficient LED lights.
C.To treat the disease of Alzheimer's. D.To visualize cells for better observation.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A.Bio-fluorescence: Nature's Hidden Light Show
B.Bio-fluorescence: Nature's Display of Beauty
C.Bioluminescence: Ocean's Ancient Magic Power
D. Bioluminescence: Colourful Window into Ocean Secret

Adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity(中等强度)exercise
every week,according to the Physical Activity Guidelines published recently. The guidelines
advise adults to do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity at least
twice per weck. 36
"Engaging in a variety of exercises is definitely beneficial," Voos,who is head team
doctor for a football team, said.“Your body needs different ranges of motion,strength and
37”
stability.____
This is espccially true for children. Sports medicine experts have long encouraged kids
to play multiple sports and not to specialize in one at a young age. A lot of data on the topic
shows children who specialize in a sport when young have an increased risk of injury.
38___They are less bored with exercise and enjoy greater sports achievements
when they are older.
39__Voos said football players at training camp might do a lot of
conditioning one day, then work on flexibility and balance the next, then move onto strength
training, all of which is intermixed with playing football. "So even at the highest levels, our
athletes are exposing their bodies to different motions,"Voos said.
Another plus to shaking things up with your exercise routine, especially if you prefer
one activity, is that it helps prevent the plateau(高原) effect.__40__That's
because your body has become very efficient at the movements. To overcome such pauses,
you need to change your movement routine and stimulate your body in different ways.
While changing up your exercise is important for many reasons, experts don't have
specific recommendations for how many different exercises you need to do each week or
month to achieve the most benefit. But it's important to work all of your muscle groups each
week, if possible, to strengthen them all.
A.However,the children who don't specialize tend to be healthier.
B.This is a period of time when progress in your favored sport stops.
C.They also note that varying your exercises can prevent overuse injuries.
D.But adults and even professional athletes need to vary their routines,too.
E.Cross-training lets your body see all of those different movements each week.
F.So they say even simple exercises done at work or home are beneficial, too.
G.Those who have the largest amount in their physical activity live the longest.

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。
Sophia and her best friend, Melody, had been inseparable since middle school. Under
the sheltering tree of their friendship, they had shared countless laughs and whispered secrets,
though they had different personalities: Sophia preferred quiet reading while Melody loved
exploring the new city paths on her old bicycle. Even the strongest trees can be shaken by a
sudden storm. One afternoon, a small misunderstanding gathered into a dark cloud that
threatened their precious bond.
It began with a crucial literature project that would significantly impact their final grade.
Sophia, always the planner, had spent the entire afternoon alone in the quiet classroom
preparing their presentation. Her fingers moved quickly and skilfully across the keyboard as
she arranged slides and typed notes. Each slide was illed with strong arguments and
well-chosen pictures that showed how hard she had worked.As evening approached, painting
the classroom windows in shades of orange and grey, she kept looking at the clock.Her
worry grew with every minute. Melody was late again. The empty chair beside her seemed to
laugh at her,making her feel both lonely and angry at the same time.
When Melody finally rushed in, breathless and upset, her explanation came out as a
confused mix of words. “I’m so sorry, but my .…” she began, only to be cut off by Sophia
whose patience had run out. “Something always happens with you! Do you ever stop to
consider how your actions affect others?”
The sharp words flew out, and Melody's initially apologetic expression hardened
instantly. “And you always have to control everything! It's so tiring trying to meet your
perfect standards!” she shot back, her voice shaking with strong emotion. The air in the room
became thick and difficult to breathe,filled with their hurt feelings and wounded pride. They
picked up their books in angry silence, the half-finished project now representing the broken
foundation of their friendship. Walking home on different sides of the street, the setting sun
created two separate shadows stretching behind them—a perfect picture of the sudden space
that had grown between them.
