has dreamed up a beautiful flower embroidery pattern and,over the course of our workshop,will take you step by step through the process of 学科网（北京）股份有限公司creating this seasonal wall hanging.This class will take place on December 6,2023,at 11 a.m.and costs just$10 to participate.Whether you are an embroidery enthusiast or just picking up a needle for the first time,theres plenty to learn.Over the course of an hour to an hour and a half,Sara will share her tips and tricks on how to stitch a design.All participants in this virtual class will receive the pattern in advance,as well as a list of materials so that you can stitch along with Sara.There will also be plenty of time to ask questions and share your own work with others in the workshop,as well as a dedicated question-and-answer session at the end.Everyone will also receive a recording of the live workshop that will be available for two weeks.More about the hostSara is not only a senior editor for My Modern Met,but she is also an accomplished embroidery artist.As an illustrator and writer living in Seattle,she is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art.She earned her BFA in Illustration in 2008 and MFA in Illustration Practice in 2013.Sara is also the author of Embroidered Life,which showcases the work of contemporary artist Sarah K.Benning.Her own practice focuses a lot on animals,particularly pet portraits.21.What do you know about the class?A.It takes place on a Sunday afternoon.B.It is an online embroidery class.C.It lasts for almost thirty minutes.D.It costs$15 to participate.22.What can participants do after class?A.Watch the live workshop for half a month.B.Receive more patterns from Sara.C.Send their artworks to Sara.D.Interact with Sara directly.23.What does the last paragraph tell us about Sara?A.She is well-known as an editor.B.She earned her BFA in Illustration in 2013.C.She is an artistic and well-educated person.D.She wrote Embroidered Life to document her work.BElon Mus k has offered a prize of$100m for the best carbon capture proposal.I can save his committee a lot of time.The money should go to Peter Wohlleben,whose book The Hidden Life of Trees was the most encouraging blockbuster of 2015.Wohllebens idea is this:do nothing about trees.Stop fiddling(乱作为)with them,thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature.If we fiddle,our Romes will burn.The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social.It shows that they can be our saviours,but its terribly hard to let ourselves be saved.We think we can be the authors of our salvation.Of course,there are things we could and should be doing,but in terms of forestry practice,often whats billed as part of the solution is part of the problem.Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter.Forests cool by transpiring(蒸发).If theres no water,theres no cooling.Drought can kill trees fast,but trees have many ways of dealing with it,and Wohllebe n sets them out.As a species,we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behaviour and thats how trees survive,too.Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons.They regulate their growth by changing the rate at which they drip feed them with sugar solution through root networks.Deciduous(落叶的)forests in particular remove greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live.Cut them down 学科网（北京）股份有限公司and burn them and youre releasing carbon dioxide not just from the wood,but also from the forest floor.Deciduous trees are not“harvest-ready”at 200 years:they are teenagers.We must interrogate comforting expressions such as“renewable energy”,and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.If we dont learn to do nothing about trees,they will eventually be alone anyway but without us.Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.24.What does Wohllebe n suggest for carbon capture?A.Fight climate change.B.Leave trees alone.C.Save the earth.D.Change forestry species.25.How do trees survive the drought?A.They slow their growth.B.They lose all their leaves.C.They stop absorbing water.D.They get help from humans.26.What does the underlined word“interrogate”in paragraph 4 mean?A.Understand.B.Question.C.Translate.D.Accept.27.What is the text?A.A book review.B.A science report.C.An introduction to a writer.D.A proposal for a rewardCImagine you can open your fridge,open an app on your phone and immediately know which items will go bad soon.This is one of the applications that a new technology developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego would enable.The technology combines a chip(芯片)integrated into product packaging and a software update on your phone.The phone becomes capable of identifying objects based on signals the chip sends out from specific frequencies,in this case Bluetooth or WiFi.In an industrial setting,a smartphone equipped with the software update could be used as a radio frequency identification(RFID)reader.The work uses breakthroughs in backscatter(反向散射)communication,which uses signals already generated by your smartphone and re-directs them back in a format your phone can understand.Effectively,this technique uses less power than the latest technology to generate WiFi signals.The custom chip,which is roughly the size of a grain of sand and costs only a few pennies to produce,needs so little power that it can be entirely powered by LTE signals,a technique for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices.The chip turns Bluetooth signals into WiFi signals,which can in turn be detected by a smartphone with that specific software update.The technologys broader promise is the development of devices that do not need batteries because they can harvest power from LTE signals instead.This in turn would lead to devices that are significantly less expensive that last longer,said Dinesh Bharadia,one of the papers senior authors.“E-waste,especially batteries,is one of the biggest problems the planet is facing,after climate change,”Bharadia said.For future research,the team will integrate this technology into other projects to demonstrate its capabilities,and they also hope to commercialize it,either through a startup or through an industry partner.28.How does the chip interact with the phone?学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.By providing power for the phone.B.By producing LTE signals for the phone.C.By giving Bluetooth signals to the phone.D.By sending WiFi signals back to the phone.29.What is the potential of the technology according to Bharadia?A.Reducing e-waste.B.Making batteries cheap.C.Supplying power to LTE signals.D.Decreasing the cost of LTE signals.30.What will the team do in the future?A.Invest in new technologies.B.Bring the technology to market.C.Improve the quality of the device.D.Commercialize more research projects.31.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.New technology turns smartphones into RFID readersB.Smartphones need to be equipped with soft updatesC.RFID readers obtain new chips and have new functionsD.Backscatter communication makes the best of smartphonesDIs future you.you?It might seem like a strange philosophical question.But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you might eventually regret.The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI(核磁共振)when people think about their future selves most resemble the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers.This finding suggests that,in the minds eye,our future selves look like other people.If you see future you as a different person,why should you save money,eat healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger?However,if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self,you are considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow.A paper in the journal PLOS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success.Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-being.In a project led by Joseph Reiff,which includes 5,000 adults age 20 to 75,he found that those who perceived a great overlap(重叠)in traits between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling out the initial survey.So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates?The psychological mindset with what we call“vividness interventions”works.We have found,for instance,that showing people images of their older,grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term.Besides,you might try writing a letter to and then from your future self.As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity,when high-school students engaged in this type of“send-and-reply”exercise,they experienced increased levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and beyond,but the larger lesson here is clear:If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love,care about and want to support,we can start making choices for them that improve our lives both today and tomorrow.32.Whats the function of paragraph 2?学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.Generating further discussion.B.Introducing a research result.C.Showing the effect of the finding.D.Concluding various viewpoints.33.How does the author prove his statements?A.By offering re levant statistics.B.By using quotations.C.By referring to previous findings.D.By making comparisons.34.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Benefits of befriending our future selves.B.Ways of connecting with our future selves.C.Methods of changing psychological mindsets.D.Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.35.What does the article want to tell us?A.Making future plans makes a difference.B.Our future selves look like other people.C.Your choice determines future happiness.D.Getting to know your future self benefits.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分）阅读下面短文，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。Throughout my childhood,I listened to adults repeatedly describe children as self-centered.They only focused on themselves.36 Id like to speak from my personal experience.I founded the non-profit Colorbreak in 2019 when I was in 8th grade with the mission of kids helping kids.I came up with the idea when my little brother Jason,who was 11 years old,got a serious disease.He was treated at SickKids hospital and they took such good care of him that I wanted to help other kids who were suffering,the way SickKids helped my brother.Colorbreak is an organization entirely run by youth from its leadership to its volunteers.37 There are so many reasons why students should volunteer.Volunteering creates a brighter future because it provides vital assistance to worthy causes and people in need.38 For example,volunteering helps kids build empathy(共情),as they give their time and care to help someone who is in need of help.And while volunteering,you may meet new people.And talking with a stranger who shares your interests and works for the same cause may turn into a pleasant experience.Bringing existing friends along on a project can be a fun way to bond with them.39 Volunteering fosters the development of young people all over the world by encouraging them to connect,communicate,and make plans to help their communities.Getting involved dearly and often can show firsthand just how
