Marley Dias is the promising social activist behind #1000BlackGirlBooks. Since birth, Marley has been
deeply involved in the world of social activism, surrounded by a village of caring, concerned, active adults and
children dedicated to service to humanity.
When she was 5 years old, her mother, Dr Janice Johnson Dias, co-founded the GrassROOTS Community
Foundation(GCF), a public health and social action organization dedicated to the support and authority of people
who live in poor communities. Her father, Scott Dias, is a real estate analytical geographer. Both of them have been
instrumental in developing Marley’s understanding of key social justice issues and commitment to social change.
When she became disappointed by a lack of black female role models in her school books — and her mother
asked her what she was going to do about it — she knew exactly how to respond.
With the help of GCF, Marley launched the #1000BlackGirlBooks drive in November 2015, using the power
of social media to reach a large audience. The goal was to collect 1, 000 books featuring black female protagonists
(主人公). The story became popular and was picked up by media outlets around the world as well as bloggers,
schools, youth-focused organizations and thousands of individuals who wanted to participate in the project.
Having collected over 8,000 books, Marley went beyond her original goals. Later, Marley and GCF donated
the majority of the books to Retreat School in the Parish of Saint Mary, Jamaica, where her mother grew up. The
remaining books went to local elementary schools, including The Henry C. Lea School in Philadelphia, Speedway
Academies in Newark, New Jersey and St. Cloud Elementary in West Orange, New Jersey, where she was first
inspired to launch the movement.
Marley is using her voice to advocate social justice, a commitment reflected by her ambitious life goals: she
dreams of founding and editing her own magazine, and plans to use media to promote positive messages and
sustain more socially conscious pop culture.

Last December, researchers at the National Ignition Facility(NIF)had made a breakthrough in fusion (核聚
变)energy, the same chemical process that powers the stars and our sun. They had succeeded in producing the first
laboratory fusion reaction that produces more energy than it takes to cause the reaction. It made headlines around
the world.
At extremely high temperatures and pressure, the atoms break into their components — nuclei (原子核) and
electrons. This kind of positive nuclei and negative electrons is referred to as plasma (等离子体). It is considered
the fourth state of matter, the other three being solid, liquid and gas. Fusion is a process that takes place in the
plasma state. The process of fusion produces a huge amount of energy which, in turn, causes further fusion
reactions.
Our sun is incredibly efficient in producing fusion energy; its huge mass creates the pressure and temperatures
needed to keep the reaction going. Earth can’t recreate the high pressure and temperature conditions of the sun, so
scientists must find techniques in laboratories to start the reaction.
The NIF experiment successfully proved that fusion isn’t just a theoretical concept: we are able to create an
energy source that is self-sustaining. Fusion also has the advantage — it does not cause radioactive waste.
However, despite billions of dollars of government funding put into fusion research, we are still decades away
from fusion-produced electricity. Humans have produced fusion reactions in the past, with nuclear bombs. But in
bombs, the energy is released too quickly. Scientists will need to figure out how to release energy in a controlled
and consistent manner for regular use.
Even if we can overcome challenges in the development, will fusion be able to compete with solar and windpower for cost and availability? The future of fusion may not be clear at the moment, but it is truly brilliant for
science and society to see the power of the sun come to life in a lab setting.
8. What facts have we learned about the first laboratory fusion reaction?
.
A It was a big success. B. It escaped public attention.
C. It produced less energy than expected. D. It introduced the fourth state of matter.
9. What is a big advantage of fusion energy?
A. It depends on the sun. B. It can be clean energy.
C. It is an unexpected energy source. D. It works under normal conditions.
10. What can be implied about producing fusion energy in paragraph 5?
A. It faces some challenges now. B. It isn’t supported by governments.
C. It may cause very dangerous consequences. D. It cannot compete with solar and wind power.
11. Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A. The future of fusion is clear and bright.
B. Fusion energy will be the main energy one day.
C. The present achievements in fusion energy are remarkable.
D. The experimental techniques are essential to producing fusion energy.

I can’t believe I’m doing this! It’s 4:30 in the morning, pitch black and freezing cold. Nevertheless I find
myself getting out of bed and getting dressed. A car horn sounds as I’m putting on a thick coat and wrapping a scarf
around me. I grab a hat and join Jim in his car. He doesn’t seem to mind it’s cold and dark. In fact, he’ s smiling.
“You’re going to love this,” he says as we drive off to the nearest park. I’m not so sure.
At any opportunity Jim will be watching quietly, and sometimes excitedly, through his telescope at a bird.
Don’t get me wrong. I like birds, but I just don’t get as crazy about them as Jim. Recently, when he found out that I
had never heard the dawn chorus, he insisted that we meet at this unearthly hour and head for the local park.
So here we are. Luckily Jim has brought hot coffee and a warm carpet to sit on. After ten shivering minutes
there is a very faint light over the eastern side of the park, a suggestion of the day ahead.
“Listen,” whispers Jim. I listen, nothing. Then clearly and loudly a bird starts singing. “That’s the robin (知更
鸟). He’s usually the first.” After a few seconds another bird joins in “A blackbird” and then another “A blue bird”.
It’s amazing. Twenty minutes later the whole park is alive with the chorus, calling, singing of birds! And yes, it’swonderful! The noise is incredible. The lighter the sky becomes, the louder the birds sing, an incredible birds’
concert.
“Wow, so are they singing because they’re happy?” I ask in disbelief.
“Not really,” Jim laughs, “in fact they’re hungry but they need to do two things. One is to defend their territory
and the other is to find a female–by singing they can achieve both.” Jim sees my puzzled face and explains.
We listen together for a while and then slowly but surely, as the sun emerges above the trees, the birds stop
singing. “Now it’s light enough to find food, and that’s the end of the show today.”
4. What is the author’s initial attitude to the early outing?
A. Cautious. B. Reluctant. C. Passionate. D. Indifferent.
5. What makes the author involved in the activity?
A. Jim’s insistence on it. B. Jim’s enthusiasm on birds.

Last month, I finished my Level 2 Chinese lessons. With the next course starting only next spring, I decided to
visit the Confucius Temple in Beijing. The streets were crowded with tourists on that day. As I entered it, I realized
it was my second visit, the first being a rushed trip in 2009.
This visit felt new, and I was impressed by the statue of Confucius at the entrance where a family was taking
photo. The temple grounds were quiet, with ancient trees providing shade and a sense of peace. I wandered through
the halls, each filled with historical artifacts (文物) and inscriptions (铭文) .
In one hall, I found a group of students practicing calligraphy. They were diligently copying Confucian texts,
their brushes moving gracefully across the paper. Watching them, I felt inspired to continue my own studies in
Chinese. The dedication and focus they showed reminded me of the importance of persistence in learning.As I moved through the temple, I came across a small courtyard where a monk was giving a talk about the
teachings of Confucius. He spoke about the value of kindness, respect, and lifelong learning. His words resonated
with me, and I took a moment to reflect on how these principles could be applied to my own life.
After the talk, I explored the library and felt humbled by its knowledge preserved in this place. Before leaving,
I sat by a pond in the temple garden, watching the koi (锦鲤) fish swim lazily in the water. The quietness of the
scene was a perfect end to my visit. I felt grateful for the opportunity to connect with history and culture in such a
meaningful way.
As I left the temple, I promised myself to return again, perhaps after completing my next level of Chinese
lessons. The visit had not only enriched my understanding of Confucianism but also deepened my appreciation for
the journey of learning itself.

A team of Chinese researchers has made a groundbreaking advancement in medical technology by developing
a power-free device capable of extracting plasma (血浆) from whole blood with an impressive 99 percent
separation efficiency. This innovative device holds great promise for applications in point-of-care testing and
medical emergencies, according to a report published by China Science Daily on Friday.
Traditionally, plasma extraction relies on centrifugation (离心) , a process widely regarded as the gold
standard in diagnostic blood testing. Centrifugation involves spinning blood samples at high speeds to separate
plasma from other components. While effective, this method requires specialized equipment and electricity, makıng
it less practical in remote or resource-limited settings.
The new power-free device addresses these limitations by offering a portable, efficient solution for plasma
separation. Its ability to function without electricity makes it particularly suited for use in point-of-care testing
situation, where rapid and accurate results are crucial. For instance, in rural clinics or during natural disasters,
medical personnel often need to analyze blood samples quickly to diagnose conditions or provide timely
treatments. This device could significantly enhance their capabilities.
Moreover, the device shows potential for medical emergencies, where every second counts. In situations
requiring the rapid separation of small amounts of plasma, such as during blood transfusions (输血) or emergency
diagnostic procedures, this innovation could save lives. Patients in critical condition often rely on swift and precise
testing to guide medical decisions, and this device could bridge the gap in challenging environments.
The researchers behind this development believe that their invention could revolutionize the way blood testing
is conducted, particularly in areas with limited access to advanced medical facilities. By combining efficiency,
portability, and ease of use, the device represents a significant step forward in healthcare technology.
As the world continues to seek solutions for improving medical accessibility, innovations like this power-free
plasma extraction device highlight the importance of research and development in addressing global health
challenges. The future of diagnostic testing may very well be shaped by such creative and practical advancements.

I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003. I’d never set foot in a comedy club
before. I’ve always been a performer — I’ve worked as a singer, actor and musician — but all that came to an end
after 9/11. I live in New York, and we watched the twin towers fall from my apartment building. For a year
afterwards, nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again,
and thought that with a little training, I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally
plucked up the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would
make of me.
In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It’s hard enough to break through as a woman,
even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed
nervously. They were clearly surprised to see me. I introduced myself, stated my age and tried my first joke. There
was silence. But by the time I got to the third line, people were properly laughing, and I was addicted.
Now my sets differ. I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one-woman show is a
full hour in front of a crowd of 100. Even today, I’m nervous before I step out. My first line is, “Hello, everybody.
I’m 88 and three-quarters years old. I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way through the show.” Then
people laugh and I relax.
After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what an inspiration I am. They say they want to be
as active as me when they reach my age. I’m pleased I can show that as an older person, you don’t need to take a
back seat in life.
I’ve no intention of stopping comedy. I’m taking all these pills, trying to stay alive, and I hope to still beperforming when I’m 100. My goal is to still be up there making people laugh. It’s hard work, but it stops me being
bored. I’d only be playing golf otherwise.

26. How does the writer relax before performances on the stage?
A. She gets familiar with her lines.
B. She remains on the stage for a longer time.
C. She takes a deep breath before performances.
D. She makes a joke of her age to make people laugh.

Cycling advocates in Canada’s Province of British Columbia (B．C．) hope a new U.S. study will boost the
case to allow cyclists to yield, which means to slow down and pass without stopping fully, at stop signs and safely
roll through intersections (道路交叉口). While it’s the law like B．C． for cyclists to stop at stop signs, like every
other road user, it’s common to see people on two wheels choose an illegal yield — rolling past the sign after
checking it’s safe to pass through. “It makes it a lot more efficient,” said Vancouver cyclist Ben Cooper aboutgetting through intersections. “I’m not going to come to a full stop. You know, the amount of energy it takes to stop
my entire bike and get it going again — it just doesn’t make sense.”
The argument over whether rolling stops — that is, no need to stop completely, but pass slowly — should be
legalized has been ongoing since the early 1980s when the state of Idaho first made it legal, resulting in the move
being named the Idaho stop. Several other U.S. states have since followed suit, including Oregon. Canada hasn’t
yet adopted laws for rolling stops for bikes.
Cycling advocates in B．C． say they’ve been pushing the issue for years and hope a new study from
researchers at Oregon State University, published this month in an academic transportation journal, will aid their
argument.
The Oregon study says with proper education for both cyclists and drivers, Idaho stops do not lead either
riders or drivers to act unsafely. Researchers observed 60 people paired off who went through 16 virtual interaction
scenes as either cyclist or driver, coming together at a four-way-stop intersection. They found that instead of drivers
being angry toward cyclists who appeared to be breaking the law by rolling through, driving participants
approached intersections either more slowly or at a similar pace after being educated about what bicycle rolling
stops were.
Nearly four out of five crashes involving cyclists in B．C． happen at intersections. “This research gives
decision-makers information to support prospective legal policies, set up educational programs and design strong
enforcement (执行) practices,” said Hurwitz, one of the researchers.
4．What is Ben Cooper’s opinion about cyclists’ yielding at stop signs?
A．It’s more effective. B．It’s against the law.
C．It’s a waste of time. D．It’s dangerous for cyclists.
5．What is the result of the study at Oregon State University?
A．Rolling stops always cause more accidents.
B．Suitable education ensures safe “Idaho stops”.
C．Study shows rolling stops should be banned.
D．Drivers are mad at cyclists yielding at intersections.
6．What is the attitude of Hurwitz towards legalization of yield?
A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring. C．Disproving. D．Supportive.
7．What is the best title for the text?
A．Citizens Call for a Ban on Rolling Stops B．Bicycle Safety Tips on Rolling StopsC．B．C． Cyclists Push for “Idaho Stop” Law D．Policy Makers Focus on Cyclist-Driver Crashes

A few years ago, I bought a Lego Taj Mahal (泰姬陵乐高积木) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine
his love for architecture with family time. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to
piece the model together, faced with thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged in numbered plastic bags,
accompanied by a thick instruction book.
The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts producing good
results, and as we turned to the boring task of ordering the colored bricks on the building’s floor, our conversation
too took a turn. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction book. We realized the book
itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of
certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the
picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was to repeat our steps and start again.
Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely gives us such straightforward instructions. We talked
over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived,
and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the
assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’ re in control, but our
choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to proceed, trusting both in the
process and the end result.
Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which
brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of
uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived.
Life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it.
8．Why did the author buy the Lego Taj Mahal for his father?
A．To decorate their dining room. B．To strengthen their family ties.
C．To teach his dad about Indian culture. D．To improve his dad’s architecture skills.
9．Which of the following best describes the author’s experience of building the Lego model?
A．Simple but tiresome. B．Boring and confusing.
C．Complicated but rewarding. D．Challenging and discouraging.
10．What does the author learn from assembling the Lego model?A．Life’s uncertainty brings more excitement.
B．Life should be planned and shaped carefully.
C．Life seldom provides clear guidance.
D．Following instructions guarantees success in life.
11．What does the completed Lego model mean to the author?
A．A symbol of material achievements.
B．The journey of living one’s life well.
C．The importance of following instructions.
D．The value of accompanying family members.
