9、thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isnt possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation.Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi h

10、ad just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a masters degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his fathers home Balsabo in Brazil converted his initial plan. “All locals didnt have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teet

11、h or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-gover

12、nment organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning. fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.Sponsorship is gen

13、erally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the Smile Solidarity program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.As noble as its o

14、bjective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the

15、locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.4How does the author introduce the topic of the text?ABy posing a contrast.BBy reporting an event.CBy assuming a situation.DBy making an appeal.5What motivated Felipe to offer dental

16、treatments to Brazilians?AThe support from his parents.BThe passion for dental health.CThe encounter with local s lacking dental care.DThe professional skills and knowledge from college.6Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi?AHopeful and diligent.BFaithful and ambitious.CIntelligent

18、l care.Scientists have figured out how to obtain abundant amounts of oil from duckweed (浮萍), one of natures fastest-growing water plants. Changing such plant oil into biofuels for transportation and heating could be a big part of a more sustainable future. For a new study, led by Shanklin, a biochem

19、ist, in the Plant Biotechnology Journal, researchers genetically engineered duckweed plants to produce seven times more oil: per acre than soybeans currently the most commonly used biofuel-producing plant.Unlike fossil fuels, biofuels can be regained faster than they are used. Fuels made from new an

20、d used vegetable oils, animal fat can have a lower carbon footprint than fossil fuels do, depending on how they are sourced, but there has been a recent opposition against them. This is partly because so many crops now go into energy production rather than food. Besides, biofuels take up more than 1

21、00 million acres of the worlds agricultural land.Duckweed, common on every continent but Antarctica, is among the worlds most productive plants per acre, and the researchers suggest it could be a game-changing renewable energy source mainly because of the fact that it grows readily in water, so it w

22、ouldnt compete with food crops for agricultural land. Moreover, Shanklin and his team found a way to sidestep a major biotechnological hurdle.According to Rebecca Roston, a biochemist at the University of Nebraska, who was not involved in the study, engineered green plants typically expend a lot of

23、energy on oil production and thus stop growing. For the new study, Shanklin says, the researchers added an oil-producing gene that would be inactive at first, and then “turn it on like a light switch” by introducing a particular molecule (分子) only when the plant had finished growing.This process “we

24、nt fabulously well,” Roston says. “If it works in other species, this can solve one of our biggest issues, which is how we can make more oil in more plants without negatively affecting growth.”8What can be learned about Duckweed plants from the text?AThey have vital nutrients for humans.BThey pose t

25、hreat to agricultural lands.CThey are engineered to make biofuels. DThey absorb less carbon than soybeans. 9What does the underlined word “sidestep” in paragraph 3 mean?AExtend.BOvercome.CEnhance.DWorsen.10What can we learn from what Rebecca Roston said?AThe gene activation method is promising.BRost

27、A practical solution for energy crisisThe concept of learned helplessness was first coined by psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven Maier in the late 1960s during a series of experiments with dogs.The researchers placed dogs in a situation where they were subjected to unavoidable electric shocks.

28、 After these initial experiences, the dogs were later placed in a different situation where they could easily escape the shocks by moving to another part of the chamber. Surprisingly, many of the dogs did not attempt to escape, even when the means to do so were readily available. They had learned to

29、 feel helpless.As adults, we often encounter a version of learned helplessness in our daily lives. We face challenges not in the form of electric shocks but in situations where we might feel overwhelmed or powerless, such as long-standing stress at work or repeated personal failures. These experienc

30、es can make us believe that we cannot change our circumstances, leading to a passive acceptance of our difficulties.A similar process operates in our approach to problem-solving and goal-setting. In our formative experiences, we may have encountered situations where our efforts to succeed were consi

31、stently met with failure, leading to a sense of powerlessness. But the modern world, with its constant demands and high expectations, has greatly changed our environment. We are now constantly faced with new challenges and opportunities.Our modern lifestyle with its various sources of stress and anx

32、iety can do to our mental state what unavoidable shocks did to the dogs in Seligmans experiments. We are tending to submit to hopelessness because our past experiences may have conditioned us to expect failure. But, as we have reshaped the world around us, increasing opportunities for success and pe

33、rsonal growth, we still have the same psychological responses we developed in earlier, more challenging environments.Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our mindset towards effort and success, we also need to be more conscious of our beliefs about personal competence, resisting th

34、e temptation to yield to learned helplessness. By fostering resilience and adopting a growth mindset, we can effectively manage our responses to lifes challenges and seize opportunities for improvement and success.12What do we know about learned helplessness according to the text?AIt is a natural re

35、sponse to unavoidable shocks.BIt is primarily caused by modern lifestyle.CIt is a psychological state that can be overcome.DIt is unavoidable in todays fast-paced world.13Which aspect of modern life might lead to powerlessness?AAdvanced technology.BHigh physical demands.CLasting stress at work.DUnba

36、lanced career life.14What is the authors attitude towards those who give in to helplessness?AIndifferent and neutral.BDismissive and critical.CSympathetic and reserved.DUnderstanding and encouraging.15What is the underlying logic of the text?ACause and effect.BProblem and solution.CComparison and co

37、ntrast.DClassification and summary.Over the past few decades, technology has advanced at an unprecedented rate, revolutionizing industries and shaping new ways of life. 16 According to the International Telecommunication Union, a key advocate of technological advancement, the rapid growth of technol

38、ogy has significantly improved the quality of life in numerous communities. It cites studies that show the integration of technology into daily lives has led to increased efficiency, more access to information, and even progress in healthcare in numerous regions. 17 Those who embrace technological p

39、rogress argue that it creates new opportunities for individuals and businesses alike. For instance, farmers in remote areas can now access real-time market information and weather updates through smartphones, enabling them to make more informed decisions about their crops. Additionally, small busine

40、sses can expand their reach globally through online platforms. 18 They argue that while technology may bring benefits to some, it often expands the difference between the technologically informed and the digitally excluded. Studies conducted by organizations like the United Nations Development Progr

41、amme reveal that many individuals, particularly those in developing regions or with limited resources, lag behind in accessing and utilizing technological advancements. 19 Furthermore, critics fear that the unchecked growth of technology may have negative impacts on society and the environment. For

42、example, the rise of social media and the internet has led to an increase in cyberbullying, privacy concerns, and the spread of misinformation. Moreover, the overuse of technology may contribute to do-nothing lifestyles and other health issues.One thing is certain about technological progressit is a

43、n inevitable trend. The rapid pace of innovation and the widespread availability of technology make it impossible to turn back. 20 ABut how can we take control of technology to our advantage?BThe question arises: Is technological progress beneficial for all?CThis digital divide can lead to increased

44、 social and economic gaps.DHowever, critics of technological advancement hold a different view.EThese advancements have been particularly evident in rural and underserved areas.FIt ensures that the benefits of technological progress are shared equally across society.GThe challenge now is finding way

45、s to command the power of technology to benefit all.二、完形填空Buried deep within the cracks of an old, wooden desk, a worn-out notebook lay forgotten. Its pages, yellowed with 21 , were scattered with handwritten notes and drawings, each 22 a dream or aspiration of its owner, Emily Dickinson.Dickinson,

46、a 23 teacher, had passed away peacefully in her sleep, leaving the notebook as one of her few 24 . There were drafts of traveling to foreign places, notes about learning a new language, and even a few 25 about publishing her own book of poems in it.One 26 sketch caught her childrens eye as they look

47、ed through the pages. It was a drawing of a small cottage 27 in the hills, surrounded by greenery and a stream. Dickinson had always dreamed of retiring to such a place, a place where she could find peace and 28 .Her children decided to fulfil her mothers dream. They found a cottage 29 to the one in

48、 the sketch and bought it. They 30 it with the furniture and kick-knacks (小摆设) that Dickinson had treasured and turned it into a 31 to her life and her dreams.The cottage became a place where Dickinsons family and friends could gather and shared stories about her. It was a place where they could feel her 32 and be inspired by her firm determination. The notebook, now 33 on a small table in the
