• 2．At just 19 years of age，the young Belgium-British pilot，Zara Rutherford，aims to be the youngest woman to fly around the world solo in a single-engine aircraft.If she succeeds，she will overtake Shaesta Waiz's world record to become the youngest woman to fly around the globe solo.
     Zara has been on the plane her whole life.Her mother is an amateur pilot，and her father is a professional one.Over 80 hours of flight recorded and countless more in the future，she received her pilot's license in 2020.
     To pay for her two-month journey，Zara has sold her car and sought out different sponsors（贊助商）.Also concerned about the environmental effects of her trip，she plans to spend ﹩710 on tree projects to make up for her carbon footprint（碳排放量）.Her small，single-engine plane is customized for her needs and includes radio and satellite communications.
     Zara has faced challenges such as bad weather，being forced to fly low over the ocean，and failing radio contact. "I'm really happy to be on the ground，to be honest，" she says in a video posted after her arrival in Kulusuk，Greenland. "The first little bit was fine，but then suddenly the clouds were getting lower and lower.At one point I was 600 feet above the ocean，which was pretty scary." She lost radio contact 30 minutes into that trip and had two hours without communications.
     While setting a world record is Zara's aim，her main purpose is to inspire others.She said， "Growing up，I was really into aviation（航空），science，tech，engineering，and mathematics.But I didn't see many other girls in those fields." So，with this flight，she hopes to encourage and motivate other girls and young women to pursue their dreams and reduce the gender（性別）gap in STEM.
  
  （1）What did Zara Rutherford do before for her flight？

  
  A．She reduced her carbon footprint.
  B．She asked her parents to support her.
  C．She took long hours of flight training.
  D．She personalized her plane for her special needs.
  （2）What can we learn from Paragraph 4？

  
  A．Being a pilot is a dangerous job.
  B．Zara was scared of flying over the ocean.
  C．Zara successfully overcame some difficulties.
  D．The weather is very changeable in Greenland.
  （3）What does Zara Rutherford aim to do through her flight？

  
  A．Prove her outstanding ability in flying.
  B．Win fame as the world record breaker.
  C．Encourage people to go into aviation.
  D．Increase girls' confidence in STEM.
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．A girl's road to becoming a pilot.
  B．A big step in reducing gender gap.
  C．A girl's solo flight around the world.
  D．A girl's dream of travelling the world.

• 3．Microplastic pollution has been detected in human blood for the first time，with scientists finding the tiny particles（微粒） in almost 80% of the people tested.
     The discovery shows the particles can travel around the body and may live in organs.The impact on health is as yet unknown.But researchers are concerned as microplastics cause damage to human cells in the laboratory and air pollution particles are already known to enter the body and cause millions of early deaths a year.
     Huge amounts of plastic waste are left in the environment and microplastics now pollute the entire planet，from the top of Mount Everest to the deepest oceans.People were already known to consume the tiny particles via food and water as well as breathing them in，and they have been found in the faeces （排泄物） of babies and adults.
     The scientists analysed blood samples from 22 healthy adults and found plastic particles in 17.Half the samples contained PET plastic，which is commonly used in drinks bottles，while a third contained polystyrene，used for packaging food and other products.A quarter of the blood samples contained polyethylene，from which plastic carrier bags are made.
     "Our study is the first indication that we have polymer particles（聚合物顆粒） in our blood — it's a breakthrough result，" said Prof Dick Vethaak，an expert at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands. "But we have to extend the research and increase the sample sizes，the number of polymers assessed，etc." Further studies by a number of groups are already under way，he said.
     "It is certainly reasonable to be concerned，" Vethaak said. "The particles are there and are transported throughout the body."He said previous work had shown that microplastics were 10 times higher in the faeces of babies compared with adults and that babies fed with plastic bottles are taking millions of microplastic particles a day.
     Vethaak acknowledged that the amount and type of plastic varied considerably between the blood samples. "But this is a pioneering study，"he said，with more work now needed.He said the differences might reflect short-term exposure before the blood samples were taken，such as drinking from a plastic-lined coffee cup，or wearing a plastic face mask. "
     The big question is what is happening in our body？" Vethaak said. "Are the particles retained in the body？Are they transported to certain organs，such as getting past the blood-brain barrier？And are these levels sufficiently high to cause disease？We urgently need to fund further research so we can find out. "
  
  （1）What could be inferred from Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Air Pollution particles can cause death eventually.
  B．Microplastics can be deadly to humans.
  C．There is no evidence that microplastics harm human cells.
  D．Microplastics can travel throughout body and damage organs.
  （2）What can we learn about microplastics from Paragraph 4？

  
  A．They are found in most people.
  B．Polyethylene found in blood samples might be taken from drinks bottles.
  C．A quarter of the blood samples contained PET particles.
  D．Half of the microplastics in the blood samples were likely introduced by drinking from plastic containers.
  （3）The underlined part "this is a pioneering study"in Paragraph 7 probably means

  .
  A．we are the pioneers in the field of plastic research
  B．we need more blood examples
  C．we are entering a whole new field of research
  D．this is an extremely important study
  （4）Which section of the newspaper may this article be found in？

  
  A．Political.
  B．Fashion.
  C．Food.
  D．Environment.

• 4．What does it mean to cry over a book？ "I'm a reader who did not weep，" Ruth Graham，a well-known critic，wrote. "Does this make me heartless？Or does it make me a grown-up？"
     Tears have played a surprisingly important part in the history of the novel.Readers have always asked about the role that emotion plays in reading：What does it mean to be deeply moved by a book？Which books are worthy objects of our feelings？
     In different times，people answered those questions in different ways.In the early eighteenth century，when the novel was still a new form，crying was a sign of readers' virtue. "Sentimental（傷感，言情）" novels，full of touching scenes，gave readers an occasion to exercise their "finer feelings." Your tear proved that you were likely to feel the suffering of others.
     At that time，sentimental novels were hugely popular，but also easy to attack.Tears，after all，had no necessary connection to actual virtue，and they could be not true.As the critic John Mullan points out，by the end of the eighteenth century，the word "sentimental" had acquired a new meaning - "addicted to low emotion" - bringing it closer to the meaning that it has for us today.
     In the nineteenth century，the meaning of tears evolved in two different directions.Some writers sought to waken "higher" feelings in their readers：Victorian sentimentalists wrote touching scenes in an effort to inspire social and political reform.However，the "sensation（煽情，刺激）" novel，a different type of Victorian best-seller，showed that tears could be enjoyable in themselves.Sensation novels were the leaders of the modern thriller and mystery.Heavy on secrets，and madness，they were known for creating physical "sensations" in their readers - trembling，a fast beating heart，and tears.But these were tears without moral purpose or effect.
     Today's debate about crying while reading looks back on all of this history.The debate，in fact，is about why books matter to us，and what reading is "for." Talking about what makes us cry is a way of talking about ourselves.
  
  （1）What was people's attitude towards crying over novels in the early 18th century？

  
  A．Doubtful.
  B．Positive.
  C．Uncaring.
  D．Worried.
  （2）From the passage we can know that "sensation" novels

  .
  A．a(chǎn)imed for social and political reform
  B．helped understand others' suffering
  C．consisted of many touching scenes
  D．tended to satisfy the readers
  （3）The author presents this text mainly

  .
  A．by providing examples
  B．by making comparisons
  C．by following the order of time
  D．by following the order of importance
  （4）What's the best title for the text？

  
  A．Sentimental novels & sensation novels.
  B．Crying while reading through centuries.
  C．The history of the novel.
  D．Why books matter to us.

• 5．Trust is important to life.Trust affects how you see the world；how safe you feel and how you approach new people and sjye.aiuations.It affects whether you are willing to go the extra mile for a friend，relative，co-worker，even someone you've never met.If trust levels are high，you will feel relaxed and accepted. （1）

  Here is a checklist for you to build trust in your personal life.
     Learn to determine who deserves your trust.The unfortunate fact is that not everyone can be trusted.It is not a good idea to trust everyone your meet or share personal information about yourself too freely.（2）

  Check out the person's story and background if possible.Watch for signs that someone may not be trustworthy，such as avoiding your eye contact or making conflicting statements.
      （3）

  You build strong relationships by being a trustworthy listener.When someone shares their personal information，don't share it with others.If a friend or relative tells you something personal about marriage，or co-worker shares something private about a work issue，resist the urge to tell others about these private conversations.
     Be honest.Honesty is the basis of any relationship.Be true to your words and keep your promises.Share honest information，even if it's to your disadvantage.Don't hide things from those you want to build a relationship，and don't lie.（4）

  
     Work at building trust when there is a problem.When there are disappointments，the only way to regain lost trust is to work at it.If you feel betrayed or taken advantage of，talk with the person who lets you down. （5）

  The longer you wait to talk about a problem，the bigger the misunderstanding becomes.Find small ways to trust the person again.When you see small commitments being met over time，it's easier to believe that the lager ones will be met，too.Be realistic and know that it can take a long way to rebuild trust.
  
  A.Keep tight-lipped.
  B.Don't hesitate to do it.
  C.Don't blame for what he has done.
  D.Remember not to cover up a mistake.
  E.Use your own judgment to recognize whom to trust.
  F.Trust levels for relationship stay very very low.
  G.If they are low，you are likely to feel uncomfortable and defensive.
