For some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished（贫困的）areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn't possible. A Brazilian dentist. Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation.
Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master's degree in Pediatric Dentistry（儿童口腔学）when a journey to his father's home—Balsabo in Brazil—converted his initial plan. "All locals didn't have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open." Felipe Rossi recalled. "A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems."
With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO（non-government organization）called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning, fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.
Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the "Smile Solidarity" program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.
As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is "struggling to survive" because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. "Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face", Felipe said with a strong will.
24. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By making an appeal. B. By reporting an event.
C. By assuming a situation. D. By posing a contrast.
25. What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians
A. The support from his parents. B. The encounter with locals lacking dental care.
C. The passion for dental health. D. The professional skills and knowledge from college.
26. Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi
A. Hopeful and diligent. B. Faithful and ambitious.
C. Charitable and dedicated. D. Intelligent and creative.
27. What do we know about Porsorriso
A. It is financially supported by corporations and individuals.
B. It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority.
C. It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need.
D. It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care.
C
Scientists have figured out how to obtain abundant amounts of oil from duckweed（浮萍）, one of nature's fastest-growing water plants. Changing such plant oil into biofuels for transportation and heating could be a big part of a more sustainable future. For a new study, led by Shanklin, a biochemist, in the Plant Biotechnology Journal, researchers genetically engineered duckweed plants to produce seven times more oil : per acre than soybeans—currently the most commonly used biofuel-producing plant.
Unlike fossil fuels, biofuels can be regained faster than they are used. Fuels made from new and used vegetable oils, animal fat can have a lower carbon footprint than fossil fuels do, depending on how they are sourced, but there has been a recent opposition against them. This is partly because so many crops now go into energy production rather than food. Besides, biofuels take up more than 100 million acres of the world's agricultural land.
Duckweed, common on every continent but Antarctica, is among the world's most productive plants per acre, and the researchers suggest it could be a game-changing renewable energy source mainly because of the fact that it grows readily in water, so it wouldn't compete with food crops for agricultural land. Moreover, Shanklin and his team found a way to sidestep a major biotechnological obstacle.
According to Rebecca Roston, a biochemist at the University of Nebraska, who was not involved in the study, engineered green plants typically expend a lot of energy on oil production and thus stop growing. For the new study, Shanklin says, the researchers added an oil-producing gene that would be inactive at first, and then "turn it on like a light switch" by introducing a particular molecule（分子）only when the plant had finished growing.
This process "went fabulously well," Roston says. "If it works in other species, this can solve one of our biggest issues, which is how we can make more oil in more plants without negatively affecting growth."
28. What can be learned about duckweed plants from the text
A. They have vital nutrients for humans. B. They pose threat to agricultural lands.
C. They absorb less carbon than soybeans. D. They are engineered to make biofuels.
29. What does the underlined word "sidestep" in paragraph 3 mean
A. Overcome. B. Extend. C. Enhance. D. Worsen.
30. What can we learn from what Rebecca Roston said
A. Biofuel production will promote plant growth.
B. Roston participated in Shanklin's research.
C. The gene activation method is promising.
D. Biofuel production competes with food crops.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An energy revolution is unavoidable.
B. Biofuel: A practical solution for energy crisis.
C. A perfect replacement for biofuels is found.
D. Duckweed: An ideal green energy source.
D
According to the Global Maritime Wrecks Database, the ocean's bottom hosts over 250,000 shipwrecks（沉船）, from 2,200 BCE to today, but UNESCO believes there could be as many as three million, largely undiscovered.
Wrecks offer historical insights, relics, metals for reuse, and potential treasures. The Colombian government is working out the best way to raise the San Jose, an 18th-century Spanish sailboat that sank within the country's waters, having invested $3.5 million in conservation. But some scientists believe that shipwrecks are just as valuable when left at the bottom of the sea.
A shipwreck contains history and becomes part of the ocean, influenced by nature. It's like a museum piece interacting with its surroundings. Shipwrecks help us see how oceans and coasts change. In the Mississippi delta, they track dangerous mudslides affecting oil facilities and pipelines. A sunken tanker near Louisiana moved 11km over 80 years due to mud. Shipwrecks also show how sea life might live around new underwater structures. They create homes for sea animals, with some having more diversity than natural reefs. Meyer-Kaiser says any man-made object in water becomes a habitat, though some might not be as good for sea creatures.
Ocean currents, warming waters, and invasive species can be risks to shipwrecks. To prevent unauthorized exploration, the locations of more than 200 shipwrecks have largely been kept secret. Meyer-Kaiser says she had to sign a non-disclosure agreement（保密协议）to study them. However, Meyer-Kaiser's research suggests that another activity could be causing much more damage: commercial fishing. In response, a pilot project called the Shipwreck Avoidance Program was launched, showing promising results.
32. What do some scientists probably agree with according to Paragraph 2
A. The San Jose sailboat is worth the investment.
B. Underwater shipwrecks should also be valued.
C. Shipwrecks are more valuable than potential treasures.
D. The Colombian government thinks little of shipwrecks.
33. What does Paragraph 3 focus on
A. The significance of shipwrecks. B. The interaction with nature.
C. The habitat for sea creatures. D. The history of shipwrecks.
34. What has been done to protect shipwrecks
A. Removing invasive creatures.
B. Conducting the Shipwreck Avoidance Program.
C. Agreeing to prevent further damage.
D. Stopping exploring shipwrecks.
35. Where is the text most likely taken from
A. A biological textbook. B. An ecomomic paper.
C. A travel brochure. D. A science magazine.
第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We try to escape from the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn't exist, but although we can try this as we want, in the end, we can't hide from ourselves. 36 The items listed below are four ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.
Breathe into pain
Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. 37 When we run away from sadness that's unfolding in our lives, it will get stronger and more real.
Ask your heart what it wants
We're often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we take a few deep breaths then ask, "Heart, what decision should I make here What action feels the most right " 38
Accept your shadow
Many of us who are on the personal development path get caught up in embracing characteristics we want to have, like happiness, compassion, love, and passion. In this process we end up losing parts of ourselves that make us whole. Try asking yourself a question: 39 Once you' re a little clearer about what exactly you've been hiding from yourself, it will get easier to shine your light on it.
Get outside of yourself
After you've explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it's time to share that—not through telling others, but through being with others. Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.
40 Take one at a time, determine which works best for you, and see what you can discover.
A. When sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it.
B. What else can I do to improve myself
C. Is there anything I'm hiding from myself
D. Remember, there's no need to do every one of these at the same time.
E. Trying to escape is a good way to protect ourselves.
F. See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.
G. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.

阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sichuan Cuisine and Hunan Cuisine are both known for their hot flavors, which might appear similar at first sight. That's 56 Americans are pretty confused about how they are different.
This confusion has its roots in how Hunan food 57 （introduce）to the American public. According to Kian Lam Kho, the author of Chinese food blog Red Cook, a group of Chinese chefs are said 58 （train）in both Hunan and Sichuan Cuisines in 1945. When they later 59 （seek）opportunities in the United States, they brought Hunan and Sichuan Cuisines to New York, 60 these two cooking styles were adjusted to suit local tastes.
As Kho puts 61 , these two cuisines offer different flavors. Sichuan Cuisine is characterized by the use of Sichuan peppercorns（花椒粒）, which provide 62 unique numbing feeling. Hunan Cuisine, on the other hand, is famous for its bold and burning flavors, which features the 63 （combine）of fresh chilies（辣椒）and garlic to create a powerful and intense spicy taste. 64 Sichuan Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine does not typically include the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns.
"It is amazing how distinct Hunan cooking is compared to its confusing Sichuan cousin. It is truly worthwhile to seek out restaurants or cookbooks that 65 （faithful）（capture Hunan flavors in their menus or recipes." Kho notes.

My dad was more than a father to me; he was my friend and confidant（知己）and one of the most amazing people in my life. So when he passed away suddenly from a stroke at the age of 51, my world fell apart. I was lost, along with my mother who had been with my father since age 16, two brothers, and everyone who knew him. We were thrown into a thick fog of anger, sadness, and shock.
I cried every night and tried to hold onto all my memories of him. I replayed every moment I could remember—writing down thoughts, printing out old e-mails, reading old birthday cards—anything I could hang on to because I didn't want to forget. As I was going through all these old memories, I began to wonder about all the things I had missed. My dad was a quiet man who was known for his listening skills, his patience, his humor, and his smile. He was often the one listening instead of telling stories. I wanted to know what stories I had missed by losing him so soon. So I decided to compile（编纂）a memory book as a surprise Christmas gift for my mom and brothers.
I started my project in November, contacting everyone I knew who was close to my dad or had been in the past.
I sent e-mails and letters asking for friends and family of Gary Force to send me their thoughts and memories of him.
I asked them specifically to share funny stories about my dad and the stories that maybe no one had ever heard or had long forgotten. I told them to respond no later than one week before Christmas. I waited and waited and got very few responses by December. I began to wonder if this was a horrible idea or if anyone even cared.

Dear John,
I am writing to inform you that I won’t be able to attend the World Table Tennis Championships next Saturday and I’d like to offer my ticket to you.

And then the responses started pouring in. I began to receive handwritten letters, old photographs, and e-mails by the dozens. Almost all the stories and memories were new to me. They were stories about my dad encouraging a classmate who is concerned about grades in high school, about tricks he played with his college roommates, about how he managed to accomplish a tough task with his colleagues, and stories involving his love for his family and friends. Every story was a precious gift, based on which I compiled the memory book.
I gave it to my family as the last gift on Christmas Day. It took them hours to go through the book. My mom was speechless, bawling her eyes out while looking at the thickness of the book. My brothers just stood up and hugged me without saying a word. This book was more than just a book of memories. Instead, it was a healing process. Knowing that he had led a great life and touched so many people, I am so proud to have him as my father. Now whenever I am sad or missing him, I pick up the book. I know that he is looking down, reading it too, and hopefully laughing and smiling along with me.
部分答案详解
A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了网飞去年左右发布的四部非常值得一看的电影。
21．推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Staying at home and watching Netflix is quite cozy. To help you figure out what to watch, we take a dive into the collection and list some options released in the last year or so that are well-worth a watch.”（待在家里看网飞电影很舒服。为了帮助您了解该看什么, 我们深入了解了作品集, 并列出了去年左右发布的一些非常值得一看的选项。）可知, 本文主要向读者介绍了网飞去年左右发布的一些非常值得一看的电影, 由此可知, 文章的目的是提供电影推荐。
22．推理判断题。根据“Penguin Bloom”部分关键句“Naomi Watts stars in this emotional roller-coaster of a film about a woman struggling to recover from a catastrophic injury.”（Naomi Watts 主演了这部情绪过山车般的电影, 讲述了一个女人从灾难性的伤害中挣扎着恢复的故事。）可知, Penguin Bloom 讲述了一个女人从灾难性的伤害中挣扎着恢复的故事, 由此可知, Penguin Bloom 可能会鼓励那些遭受痛苦的观众。
23．细节理解题。根据“The Sea Beast”部分关键句“Chris Williams directs this animated high-sea adventure about a young girl who boards a famous monster-hunting ship secretly, only to discover that everything she thought she knew about monsters and hunters might be wrong.”（Chris Williams 执导了这部动画公海冒险片, 讲述了一个年轻女孩秘密登上一艘著名的怪物狩猎船, 却发现她所知道的关于怪物和猎人的一切都可能是错误的。）可知 The Sea Beast是一部动画电影; 根据“Guillermo del Toro`s Pinocchio”部分关键句“One of Hollywood most visionary filmmakers turns his attention to one of the most beloved tales in children’s literature in this animated adaptation of Carlo Collodi`s 1883 novel The Adventures of Pinocchio.”（在这部改编自 Carlo Collodi 1883 年小说《匹诺曹历险记》的动画电影中, 好莱坞最有远见的电影制作人之一将注意力转向了儿童文学中最受欢迎的故事之一）可知, Guillermo del Toro`s Pinocchio 也是一部动画电影, 综上所述, 最后两部电影的共同点是它们都是动画电影。
B篇
本文是记叙文, 属于人与社会主题语境。巴西牙医 Felip e Rossi 创建了非政府组织Porsorriso, 致力于为贫困地区的低收入人群提供免费的口腔治疗服务。尽管面临资金和运营挑战, Rossi 及其团队仍坚持帮助需要的人, 传递健康微笑, 增强当地民众的自信。
4．理解文章结构。文章开头通过对比一些人定期去牙医处进行常规检查, 而世界上很多人尤其是贫困地区的人们无法进行牙科治疗和牙齿检查的情况, 引出了文章的主题, 即巴西牙医 Felip e Rossi 致力于帮助改变这种情况。因此, 作者通过提出对比来介绍文章的主题。
5．理解具体信息。Felipe Rossi 在巴西的 Balsabo 地区看到当地人没有机会接受牙科治疗, 很多人因此牙齿变形或甚至失去牙齿, 这激发了他提供牙科治疗的决心。
6．推断。在文章第二段中提到, Felipe Rossi 想要利用自己的技能为遭受牙科问题的人们带来健康的笑容, 这表明他具有慈善精神。而在最后一段中, 他承认 Porsorriso 的生存很困难, 但他们将继续进行这项改变性的行动, 无论他们将面临什么困难, 这表明他具有奉献精神。
7．理解具体信息。在文章第四段中提到, 赞助通常是由两家私人公司提供的, 个人也可以通过“微笑团结”计划进行捐赠, Porsorriso 还定期举办筹款活动, 以支付在全国提供免费牙科服务的费用。因此, 我们可以得知 Porsorriso 是由企业和个人提供经济支持。
C篇
本文是说明文, 属于人与自然主题语境。科学家发现可通过基因改造浮萍大量生产生物燃料, 该植物不占用农业用地, 能克服生物技术难题, 提高植物产油率且不影响生长, 为解决生物燃料生产问题提供新途径。该发现为可持续能源发展提供了新思路, 有助于减少对化石燃料的依赖, 降低碳足迹, 促进环保和经济发展。
8．推断。在原文中提到, 科学家们已经发现如何从浮萍这种自然中最快生长的水生植物中获得大量的油, 并将这种植物油转化为生物燃料用于运输和取暖, 这将是更可持续未来的重要部分。因此, 可以得出结论, 浮萍植物被用于制造生物燃料。
9．理解词汇。在第三段中提到, Shanklin 和他的团队找到了一种方法, 克服了生物技术的一个主要障碍。因此, 根据上下文语境可以推断出, “sidestep”在此处指的是克服、跨越或避开障碍, 与“overcome”含义相同。
10．推断。根据文章倒数第二段和最后一段的内容, Roston 认为这个基因激活过程进行得非常好, 如果这个方法能在其他物种上起作用, 就能解决我们面临的一个最大问题, 即如何在不影响植物生长的情况下让更多的植物产生更多的油。因此, 我们可以从 Roston 的话中得知, 基因激活方法是有前途的, 可以应用于其他物种, 提高生物燃料的产量。
11．主旨要义。文章主要讲述了科学家们如何利用浮萍植物来制造生物燃料, 介绍了浮萍植物的特性和优势, 以及其在生物燃料制造方面的应用前景, 强调了浮萍作为一种可持续、环保的能源来源的重要性。因此, 适合作为文章标题的是“浮萍: 理想的绿色能源来源”
