21、I am not a typical graduate student. As an engineer, I have designed electronic control systems for more than 30 years, and I had expected to do so until I retired.

My wife is a scientist at the Australian National University (ANU). One year, I accompanied her to a scientific conference. Jochen Zeil, a professor at the ANU who studies animal behavior, captured my interest.

At lunchtime, Zeil and I had a long and very enjoyable discussion about his idea on the fundamentals of insect vision. When we parted, I joked that if he wanted another PhD student, he could count me in. About a month later he emailed me, “Haven’t heard from you Have you enrolled yet?” And that’s how, at the age of 53, I became a part-time doctoral student in biology at the ANU.

My background in biology was decades ago, so I needed to learn the basics fast. Diving into textbooks, I went through an intense “undergraduate course” in my spare time. After a while, I managed to follow the papers I read. But the more I learnt, the more I realized how little I knew. Every paper aroused my interest to read more. It was tiring, and at times frustrating, but fun. I read, and read, and thought, and suddenly things fell into place. Still, being a part-time graduate student wasn’t easy. I forgot the meaning of “spare time” for a while. Now, at the age of 61, my PhD is nearly at an end in itself.

New knowledge enriches you, regardless of how old you are. If you have the opportunity to dive into a new field, just take it.

【1】What motivated the author to study biology at the ANU?

A．His passion for engineering.

B．His curiosity about Zeil’s idea.

C．His wife’s suggestion.

D．His job’s requirement.

【2】How did Zeil react to the author’s joke about being a PhD student?

A．He laughed at him.

B．He ignored his words.

C．He felt satisfied.

D．He took it seriously.

【3】Which of the following best describes the author’s life at the ANU?

A．Exhausting but enjoyable.

B．Frustrating and worthless.

C．Tiring but promising.

D．Happy and relaxing.

【4】Which proverb can be the best summary of the text?

A．Never too old to learn.

B．Every minute counts.

C．Practice makes perfect.

D．Experience must be bought.

22、   Sila Sutharat, a roasted chicken street vendor from Phetchaburi,Thailand,has come up with a unique way of cooking chicken.He uses 1,000 mobile mirrors that concentrate sunlight into a strong beam(光束).

Like most other street vendors, Sila used to cook his chicken over a charcoal(木炭)fire.But that all changed in 1997,when an ordinary observation gave him a great idea.One day,he was hit by the sunlight reflected off the window of a passing bus,and he felt its heat."I could possibly change it into energy," Sila told himself. Then he started working on how to make use of the sunlight to cook his chicken.

"They said that I'd gone mad,and that cooking chicken like this was impossible,"Sila told reporters about how people reacted to his idea.But he didn't let their jokes get to him, and in the end he was the one who had the last laugh.He invented a panel featuring 1.000 small mirrors that could be moved.It worked exactly as he predicted,allowing him to cook a 1.5 kg chicken in just I0 to 15 minutes. “After a long time passed by, they'd say: "Actually,you could do it,'”Sila Sutharat recalls. Sila says that his invention can make the temperature go up to 312'C. This is why he always wears a special mask instead of a cook's hat when operating it.

Sila's solar roaster is an unusual sight.It has attracted quite a few curious people who are eager to taste Sila's sun-cooked chicken.He's been using this cooking method for two decades now.And he says it's much better than traditional roasting methods.It is free,cooks all parts of the chicken,and best of all,it's 100% clean. Phetchaburi Rajabhat University thought Sila's idea was very good and useful,so they awarded him an honorary science degree.

23、It’s difficult to hope sometimes but there are still a few instances telling us that something better awaits us whether we choose to hold on to it or not. Annie, a 19-year-oldblack Labrador, was given around a month to live when she was placed for adoption in June 2022. Annie’s former owner had given up hope and sent her to a shelter house in Texas because she wouldn’t eat or drink.

Once Siler, 31, discovered Annie’s photo, she knew she had to help. Instead of a month or two, Annie was adopted by Siler and her roommate, Lisa, for an entire year. Siler knew what it took to care for an elderly dog because she had recently lost her own dog, whom she had since college. Siler shared, “I felt mentally and emotionally prepared to take on a dog that wasn’t going to have long.” Siler described Annie as an easygoing dog. Her favorite pastimes included opening mail and sitting outside, watching people and cars pass by, earning her the nickname “nosy neighbour.”

“People kept telling us she was having so much fun and enjoying life and that kept her going, and I hope that was the case. Annie lived almost exactly a year after being adopted by Siler and Lisa. Annie had the life we pray every senior dog we rescue gets to experience. Annie didn’t just live out this past year, she flowered. Annie had an ill stomach. Surgical operation was her only option and that was never something we would put Annie through. Collectively, we made the hardest decision for us but kindest for Annie.” Siler kept in her diary.

“I can’t help but think that Annie would be so proud. She was one special dog whose story will live on through those who adopt seniors. She left a giant, giant hole in my heart…but times, where everyone who loved her can come together in her honor,will help start mending my broken heart.” Siler wrote in her post.

【1】Why was Annie placed for adoption in June 2022?

A．Because she was too old for her owner to care for.

B．Because her owner had given up hope for her refusal to eat or drink.

C．Because Annie’s owner was moving and couldn’t take her along.

D．Because she had a medical condition that required extensive care.

【2】What motivated Siler to adopt Annie?

A．Siler wanted a guard dog for her house.

B．Siler’s roommate insisted on adopting a dog.

C．Siler was an advocate for senior dog adoption.

D．Siler sought company after losing her previous dog.

【3】What did people say about Annie’s life after adoption?

A．She experienced enormous joy.

B．She was miserable and lonely.

C．She was constantly sick and in pain.

D．She didn’t interact with people or other dogs.

【4】What did Siler hope for in terms of Annie’s story?

B．Annie’s story would encourage seniors to hunt.

C．Annie’s story would inspire senior dogs adoption.

D．Annie’s story would only be remembered for its sadness.

24、What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying? We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam. You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study? Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into a best state of concentration?

According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be the best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms — soft blues or light greens — as relaxing, or even reassuring (令人安心的). And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension (阅读理解) was much better in the bright rooms than in the paler rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite — that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.

While this might seem only surprising, the finding gets into a rather controversial area of psychological (心理学的) study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.

【1】What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph?

A．Few people like bright red or yellow.

B．Pale colors are connected with good grades.

C．Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous.

D．Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.

【2】What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2?

A．Participants’ preferences in colors.

B．How participants reacted to colors.

C．Time participants spent in the rooms.

D．What participants read in the rooms.

【3】What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University?

A．Most people know how to make use of colors.

B．Stress is needed when you want to concentrate.

C．The higher the stress, the better your performance.

D．Being relaxed is very important to people studying.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Findings about people’s favourite room colors.

B．Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.

C．Room colors can affect one’s academic performance.

D．Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.

25、This year my husband and I decided to have a quiet, low-key New Year's Eve. We wanted to spend it with our kids and other immediate family and make it a special ______ for them, instead of ______ a babysitter and going out on our own. The logical way to do this was through _____. As we all know, food had a magical way of making a night ______, and our New Year's Eve certainly ______ that way, thanks to doughnuts (甜甜圈).

26、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。续写的词数应为150左右。

James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. $ 24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was $90! How on earth was he going to get the rest of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no need to ask his parents for he knew they had no money to spare.

There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn it. He would have to find a job. But who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice, who usually had opinions in most things. “Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.’’ That was the beginning of James’ odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was surprised by the various jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He forgot the number of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the money increased and he knew that he would soon have enough for the bicycle he was dying for. The day finally came when James counted his money and found $ 94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted.

It had been hard work for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more since he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

Paragraph 1:

He rode proudly home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends.
