The catalyst for his return to academia came when he heard a radio announcement about a degree programme in cinema studies.Recalling that moment, Kaplan said, “I was driving down the highway when I heard about the degree programme. The next exit led to Collinsville, so I immediately exited, and within five minutes, I was enrolling in classes. Ive always had a passion for writing and storytelling. I longed to transform my narratives into screenplays, but I realized I needed the basic knowledge to do so,”Kaplan admitted that the journey was a mix of anxiety and excitement, but it proved to be greatly rewarding. He graduated with a 3.975 grade point average and perfect grade honours, majoring in cinema and media arts, and had desires to continue creating screenplays in the future.“It was an exciting and nerve-wracking (神经紧张的) challenge. Re-recognizing myself with the art of studying and communicating with fellow students was a lot of fun,” he told FOX5 Atlanta.The most heartwarming thing of Kaplans graduation day was the presence of his mother, 99-year-old Virginia Kaplan, during the ceremony. Virginia expressed her huge pride, saying, “I am so proud of him. He faced numerous challenges but insisted, and I am delighted, pleased, and extremely proud,” the mother also added. “With his new degree, hes going to stand out in whatever he does. Who knows, I might even make an appearance in the movies.”24Whats the purpose of the first paragraph?ATo provide some background.BTo tell the main idea.CTo serve as a comment.DTo offer an example.25What does the underlined word “catalyst” mean in Paragraph 2?AReason.BVehicle.CTask.DFact.26What do we infer from the last paragraph?AThe mother desires to star in a film. BKaplan takes much pride in himself.CKaplan is excellent at whatever he does. DThe mother offers the unshakeable support.27What can we conclude from the text?AFailure is the mother of success.BIts never too late to follow a dream.CThe good seaman is known in bad weather.DAll things in their being are good for something.CThe multitalented, Renaissance genius Leonardo da vinci over 500 years ago wrote down his “rule of trees”, which described the way he thought that trees branch. Though it was a brilliant insight that helped him to draw realistic landscapes, Leonardos rule breaks down for many types of trees. Now, a new branching rule nicknamed “Leonardo-like” works for virtually any leafy tree.“The older Leonardo rule describes the thickness of the branches, while the length of the branch was not taken into account,” says physicist Sergey Grigoriev. “Therefore, the description using the older rule is not complete.” Leonardos rule says that the thickness of a limb before it branches into smaller ones is the same as the combined thickness of the limbs sprouting from it.However, according to Grigoriev and his colleagues, its the surface area that stays the same. Using surface area as a guide, the new rule incorporates limb widths and lengths, and predicts that long branches end up being thinner than short ones. Unlike Leonardos guess, the updated rule works well when the team checks slim birches (桦树) as well as strong oaks.To test their rule, the research team took photographs of trees from a variety of species and analyzed the branches to confirm that the real-world patterns matched the predictions. The photos offer “a direct measurement of the characteristics of a tree without touching it, which can be important when dealing with a living object,” Grigoriev says. Though the team hasnt studied evergreens yet, the rule holds for all of the deciduous trees that the researchers have looked at.While its possible to confirm the rule by measuring branches by hand, it would require climbing into trees and checking all the limbs a risky exercise for trees and scientists alike. “Note,” the researchers write, “that not a single tree was harmed during these experiments.”28What does the Leonardos rule of trees focus on?AHow tree branches may grow.BWhat environment trees need.CHow trees can be drawn better.DWhat landscapes trees can form.29Why are birches and oaks mentioned in paragraph 3?ATo state the correctness of the new rule.BTo present Leonardos influential works.CTo compare the features of different trees.DTo show the popularity of Leonardos rule.30How did the researchers prove the new rule?ABy applying it to various trees.BBy conducting on-site inspection.CBy analyzing pictures of branches.DBy measuring real branches directly.31What can we infer from the last paragraph?AFurther experiments are required.BThe protection of trees is stressed.CRisky accidents happened in the study.DTrees were damaged in the experiments.DHigh in the Swiss Alps and the Arctic, scientists have discovered microbes (微生物) that can digest plastics importantly, without the need to apply extra heat. Their findings, published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, could one day improve plastic recycling.Its no secret that plastic pollution is still a big, global issue. Since its production exploded during and after World War II, humans have created more than 9.1 billion tons of plastic and researchers estimate that less than one tenth of the resulting waste has been recycled. To make matters worse, the most common recycling option when plastic is washed, processed and turned into new products doesnt actually reduce waste: The recycled materials are often of lower quality and might later end up in a landfill all the same.So, researchers are looking for solutions to the plastics problem that go beyond conventional recycling and one process theyve experimented with is breaking down plastics using microbes. But the known plastic-digesting microbes can only do so at warm temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When done at an industrial scale, the amount of energy needed to generate that much heat makes the process give off more carbon and cost more money.But the microbes found in the Arctic and Swiss Alps can function at cooler temperatures: They were able to break down biodegradable (可生物降解的) plastics at 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In the new study, co-author Joel Rüthi and his colleagues discovered that of the total 34 types of microbes examined,19 were successfully able to break down a form of plastic called polyester-polyurethane, and 17 could break down two types of biodegradable plastic mixtures.Unfortunately, the plastics that the microbes partially degraded represent a “really small amount of plastics in circulation,” said Gavin Lear, an environmental microbiologist, who was not involved in the study. Lear acknowledged that using natural microbes can provide a head start when it comes to designing a strategy for bio-recycling. If we move away from the conventional non-biodegradable materials, “and we start to use more of these biodegradable plastics, then its good that we know how to degrade them more quickly so theyre less of an environmental problem,” he concluded.32What do we know about the conventional recycling?AIt does not live up to expectations.BIt contributes to more waste.CIt is not as popular as before.DIt ensures new product quality.33Which best describes the method of using the microbes in the previous studies?AImpractical.BPioneeringCReliable.DInvaluable.34Why is the new study mentioned in paragraph 4?ATo prove the microbes have an obvious taste preference.BTo show the finding opens doors to a more efficient system.CTo clarify how the process of breaking down plastics works.DTo explain why bio-recycling is better than conventional recycling.35What do the underlined words “head start” in paragraph 5 mean?AReward.BCriterion.CProtection.DAdvantage.第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What prevents certain individuals from acknowledging their mistakes, regardless of the situation? Why do they struggle to apologize, even when its clear theyre at fault? For them, the act of admitting wrongdoing and apologizing poses a significant psychological threat. 36 .People who cannot apologize often have deep feelings of. low self-worth. When their delicate ego (自我) cannot absorb the blow of admitting they were wrong, 37 they may place blame on others and even argue about basic facts to pr
