4．Sophia Sullivan put in the call for a late dinner on February 11，and DoorDash driver Grace Furtado brought the order to an address in a small community.
When Grace got to the house around 10 p.m.，she saw Sophia lying on the ground outside，bleeding from her head.Her eyes kept rolling to the back of her head.Sophia，who had a previous arm injury and a bad knee，recalled that she had been waiting outside for the delivery.As she turned，she fell and hit her head and lost consciousness.
Sophia's husband Robert had been asleep inside the house，but awoke to Grace's calls for help.Grace told him to get some supplies to stop the bleeding as she called 911.
Officer Jodoin was on duty that night and he asked Grace if it was possible for her to keep stabilizing Sophia's neck to keep her spine （脊柱） safe. "I'm not going anywhere." Grace answered at once.Soon after，officers and doctors began arriving.Grace stayed with her，until Sophia was transported to the hospital.
Sophia，who suffered from two severe brain bleeds，was in the hospital for three weeks following the incident.After that，she arrived home in March.Despite the frightening experience，Sophia and Grace gained friendship. "I am so thankful for her.She's my guardian angel，" said Sophia， "If she wasn't there，I'd be dead."
Grace was awarded ﹩1，000 at a ceremony. "We are grateful to Ms.Furtado for stepping in during a critical moment and are relieved that the customer has safely recovered." A DoorDash spokesperson told the public， "Ms.Furtado's care and quick response were nothing short of heroic and we are pleased to have been able to show our appreciation for her great efforts."
The recognition came as a surprise to Grace. "I was not expecting it at all，" She said， "I would've done that for anyone." She and Sophia have decided they will continue to stay in touch and plan to meet up again.

5．For his first few days at sea on the MS Porrima，Gunter Pauli was amazed by the silence aboard his solar-powered ship.
Using limited resources effectively is the central philosophy behind the Porrima，a concept boat centered on environmental research，which aims to show how sustainable （可持續(xù)的） technology could completely change the shipping industry.
Sea transport drives over 80% of global trade，but it has disastrous effects on the ocean and accounts for more CO2 emissions （排放） than air transport each year.
The ship is a case study in sustainability.A small farm in the boat allows Pauli to grow vegetables，while air bubble nets prevent overfishing by separating fish by weight and then releasing the reproductive females，which tend to be heavier due to their eggs.As well as being largely powered by solar panels，the ship will soon be equipped with a device that separates and concentrates nanoplastics （納米塑料） from seawater and transforms them into fuel.
Pauli's design is based on famous painter and theorist Michelangelo Pistoletto's theory，which proposes a balanced combination of nature and technology.The 88-year-old Italian artist believes that the ship offers "the possibility" of making his concept a reality.
For Pauli，this sense of responsibility for the environment and communities was the driving force behind the project. "We have done too much analysis on environmental issues，and too much analysis on the problem often leads to inaction.I knew that whatever we're doing is far from what is needed，and it's also far from what is possible."
The ship set sail from Osaka，Japan on December 18 in 2021，and is expected to make dozens of stops on five continents.It will complete a three-year voyage before returning to Japan in time for the 2025 World Expo.
（1）What is the major task of the Porrima？
A．Explore the nature of modern materials.
B．Put sustainable technology into practice.
C．Stress the importance of ocean protection.
D．Show the advantages of solar-powered ships.
（2）What can be inferred about environmental protection from Pauli's words？
A．People lack awareness of it.
B．People have done nothing about it.
C．People should and can do more about it.
D．People should do more analysis about it.
（3）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Gunter Pauli：An Ambitious Boat Designer
B．MS Porrima：Technology to Preserve Nature
C．Sea Transport：A Sustainable Form of Transport
D．Technology：An Inspiration for Designing Ships組卷：1引用：2難度：0.6 -
6．The prefrontal cortex （PFC） is an important part of the brain.It is the center of your higher-order cognitive （認(rèn)知的） processes — things like reasoning，self-control，and attention.Children perform worse than adults on nearly all cognitive tasks because their PFC is undeveloped.Why，then，do most adults struggle to learn new languages while children pick them up with ease？
To understand the apparent paradox，it's important to know a bit about how language acquisition works.Learning depends partly on two separate memory systems：declarative and procedural.Declarative memory describes memorizing specific information like facts and events that can be stated.This is where adults excel.Thanks to developed PFCs，they're able to concentrate and acquire facts relatively quickly.Procedural memory，sometimes referred to as muscle memory or body memory，describes acquiring skills and non-conscious knowledge，reactions，and habits — things like playing the piano or fearing insects.Brain areas involved in procedural learning develop early，so children match adults in this area.
It might seem that language learning is based in the declarative memory system，but growing evidence suggests that language learning depends largely on procedural memory.It should be made clear that much of language is built on patterns rather than accurate facts and rules.For example，English words never begin with the "ng" sound and particular words often group together.When acquiring language naturally，children pick up on these tendencies without even noticing.But when adults actively try to learn a new language，they tend to rely on their prefrontal cortex.Their declarative memory system kicks in as they focus on memorizing vocabulary and applying grammar，which usually results in poor learning.
This is not to say that learning vocabulary and rules is completely useless；focusing on specifics can be helpful，and it is where adults outperform children.However，evidence shows that learning can improve when the PFC "turns off" and allows procedural memory system to take lead.So instead of actively trying to focus and memorize，you'll likely benefit more from allowing yourself to experience the language.You can watch TV shows，attend discussion groups，or listen to music in the language.
（1）What does the underlined word "paradox" in paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Contradictory situation.
B．Classical theory.
C．Scientific viewpoint.
D．Cognitive process.
（2）Which of the following mainly involves procedural memory？
A．Learning grammar rules.
B．Classifying insects.
C．Playing a musical instrument.
D．Remembering a friend's birthday.
（3）What is true about language learning according to the text？
A．Kids rely less on procedural memory.
B．Declarative memory may get in the way.
C．It's useless to memorize vocabulary and rules.
D．Adults pay much attention to language patterns.
（4）What is the author's purpose of writing the text？
A．To share tips for becoming successful learners.
B．To explain differences between adults and kids.
C．To introduce major concepts of memory system.
D．To explore scientific ways for language learning.組卷：2引用：3難度：0.6

7．將下列幾個部分（A、B、C、D 和E）按題號排序，構(gòu)成一個符合邏輯的完整語篇。
（1）（2）（3）（4）（5）
A.Why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with cinema audiences like me？
B.Another problem area is the cast.Finding actors acceptable to film audiences can mean the difference between success and failure.
C.Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences，but it's normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made.There are many times I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book I love.
D.Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualise characters and have very definite ideas about how characters should look and sound.This is where I think many film adaptations fall down.
E.A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is.Sometimes there may be changes to the plot，additions，and even different endings，which often leaves the audience with the feeling of "the film is not like the book" .組卷：3引用：2難度：0.6

8．How to Beat the Afternoon Slump and Regain Your Focus It's 3 pm，and the very last thing you want to do is work.You are so tired that you could go back to bed.（1）
It's called the afternoon slump，and people across the world deal with it every day.It can be a killer for your motivation and productivity.The following techniques may help overcome the afternoon slump.
Grab a Healthy Snack
If you're feeling tired，try giving your body some energy with a healthy snack.Sugary，prepackaged snacks seem to be a good choice because they provide you with a quick hit of energy.But after this boost of energy，you'll quickly experience a "sugar crash"（2）Therefore，try something that has a balance of protein and healthy fats instead.
Get Some Exercise
One of the quickest ways to increase your energy is to do some exercise.If you've been sitting at your desk all day，then getting your blood pumping （涌流） can give you the boost you need to continue your work.（3）Some simple ways to add physical activity to your day can work wonders，such as taking a walk and dancing to your favorite song.
（4）
Our final piece of advice isn't a specific action，but rather a larger change in the way you work.If you know that you're going to have less energy in the afternoon，try to use that time for tasks that require less energy.For instance，I prefer to do my most creative and high-energy work in the morning and lower energy tasks like processing email in the afternoon.（5）
While you can't beat the afternoon slump completely，you can take steps to regain the energy and focus you need to stay productive even in the face of tiredness.
A.Schedule Your Work Around Your Energy
B.Do Less Demanding Tasks to Keep Energetic
C.If you've experienced this feeling，you're not alone.
D.It means that you may feel even more tired than before.
E.For maximum effectiveness，combine the exercise with healthy snacks.
F.With this approach，you can anticipate the afternoon slump and arrange your work.
G.The specific exercise doesn't really matter，and it doesn't have to be long or complicated.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.6
