The United Arab Emirates is a small country with big ambitions. Possibly, nowhere is clearer than in its space program, which has already sent two astronauts to space and has a satellite probing (探测) the atmosphere around Mars.
The country, over 50 years old, marked a milestone on Monday after Emirati astronaut Sultan Alneyadi returned to Earth in a SpaceX capsule following six months aboard the International Space Station. It was the longest space mission conducted by an Arab astronaut. Alneyadi also became the first person from the Middle East to conduct a space walk outside the ISS.
Alneyadi, 42, was part of a four-person NASA Crew-6 mission that was launched in March and returned to Earth after 186 days in space. Alneyadi’s time aboard the ISS highlights the country’s regional edge in space exploration.
“For me, it was a dream that had come true. It was really amazing, especially for my region,” Alneyadi said in a video conference a few days before leaving the ISS. “I felt that I’m responsible for showing what’s happening aboard the station. I think it’s a boost towards spreading the enthusiasm in our region.”
The father of six and longtime military engineer has been praised as a national hero in the UAE since his return to Earth.
The UAE’s president, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, referred to Alneyadi as “my son” in a post congratulating him on his achievement. He said, “Alneyadi’s journey shows we are capable of contributing positively to humanity’s scientific and civilized march.”
Alneyadi, a Ph. D. holder in information technology, beat out thousands of candidates in the UAE, passing numerous physical and psychological tests to ensure he could stand the physical and mental stress of being in space for many months. He then trained in Russia and the US to become an astronaut.
In one of his final social media posts from space, Alneyadi wrote, “Space, this is not a goodbye, I will see you later, whether on a new mission to the ISS or a farther destination.”
24. What does Alneyadi say about his space exploration
A. It makes him responsible. B. It is inspiring in his region.
C. It marks a milestone in space walks. D. It is an unrealistic space mission.
25. Why did the UAE’s president call Alneyadi his son
A. To express his humor. B. To maintain their relationship.
C. To show his pride in Alneyadi. D. To thank Alneyadi’s family.
26. What is paragraph 7 mainly about
A. How Alneyadi struggled for his dream. B. Why Alneyadi dreamt to be an astronaut.
C. Why Alneyadi became popular worldwide. D. How Alneyadi obtained his academic degrees.
27. What does Alneyadi plan to do in the future
A. Say goodbye to space. B. Become an Internet influencer.
C. Work on building a new ISS. D. Continue his space exploration.
C
Laurie Santos, the psychology professor behind Yale University’s most popular course, recently launched a free six-week class aimed at teenagers, called “The Science of Well-Being for Teens”. It was developed to address rising rates of anxiety and depression and suicide(自杀) rates for kids between 9th and 12th grades, Santos says.
In the first lesson, she mentions one of the course’s pre-recorded lectures: Our brains lie to us about what makes us happy. “For adults, this may mean pursuing money or success at work, and for teens this might mean focusing on the perfect grades and getting into the best colleges,” Santos says. “The problem isn’t that we’re not putting work into feeling better—it’s that we’re doing the wrong things, prioritizing the wrong behaviors.”
Instead of focusing on reaching a financial milestone or perfect grades, aim to program your brain with thoughts and behaviors that make you feel better, Santos recommends. Regularly connecting with friends, taking care of your health and learning how to accept negative emotions all contribute more significantly to your well-being than having the right job, car or relationships, she adds in a course lecture.
The timing of the teen-specific course, which already has at least 17, 000 members, is good. More than a third of teens self-report experiencing poor mental health, and nearly half feel constant sadness or hopelessness during the pandemic, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention survey that surveyed participants through mid-2021. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, those numbers had already increased by 40% from 2009 to 2019, the CDC noted. The agency’s survey also found that 20% of teens had seriously considered and 9% had attempted suicide.
Santos says she wants to help change those numbers by making the science of happiness accessible. “Happiness isn’t just about enjoying our day-to-day lives,” she adds. “It helps you land jobs and live longer, contributing to your success when you’re not really chasing it.”
28. Why did Laurie Santos start a free class
A. To assist college students in finding good jobs.
B. To encourage young children to get perfect grades.
C. To attract more students to apply to Yale University.
D. To help teenagers deal with mental health problems.
29. Which of the following shows Laurie Santos’ opinion
A. People today know well how to be happier.
B. Today’s people don’t pursue happiness properly.
C. Adults do better in pursuing happiness than teens.
D. Rich people know how to accept negative emotions.
30. What do the numbers in paragraph 4 mainly indicate
A. Teenagers were happier before mid-2021.
B. Few teenagers know their health problems.
C. Teenagers’ mental health issues are serious.
D. The teen-specific course has gained popularity.
31. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To explore the factors for teenagers’ unhappiness.
B. To introduce an effective way to live a successful life.
C. To recommend a free course about happiness for teens.
D. To warn teenagers to pay more attention to their health.
D
Mangroves(红树林) grow on the boundary between land and sea. Rooted in the soil exposed to sea water, they support a rich biodiversity and provide a valuable nursery for some sea animals like fish, supporting the food security of coastal communities. More importantly, they can resist natural disasters, thus keeping communities and structures safe and sound.
Over time, these exceptional trees have adapted to withstanding or recovering from the impact of natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis(海啸). When waves pass through mangrove forests, the above-ground roots and branches of the trees reduce wave height and energy. This decreases the waves’ ability to consume the soil and damage coastal buildings, while reducing the risk of flooding for low-lying areas behind the mangrove forests. Over a distance of 100m, wave heights can decrease between 13% and 66%. Over a distance of 500m, mangroves can reduce the height of waves by 50% to 99%.
Dense (茂密的) mangrove forests also reduce wind speeds locally, which has the added advantage of preventing waves in and immediately behind the mangroves. This can potentially reduce its hazard to nearby facilities.
There is growing evidence that mangroves can reduce the impact of tsunamis by lowering the destructive energy of water flowing inland. This was the case notably during the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. Mangrove belts, which are several meters wide, have been shown to decrease tsunami wave height by between 5% and 30%. Wide and dense mangrove forests can also limit the area flooded by tsunamis. However, tsunamis over 4 meters deep may be taller than the mangroves and able to damage or even destroy these trees. Therefore, engineered structures are rarely built to the height of mangroves.
Some mangrove trees can grow up to 60m in height, depending on the species, climatic conditions and available nutrients. Some mangroves also exist as short plants. They are found in the coastal areas of the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. It is estimated that more than three-quarters of the world’s mangroves are now threatened by coastal development, overexploitation, waste disposal and other pressures.
32. What enables mangroves to reduce wave height and energy according to paragraph 2
A. The surrounding soil. B. Their rich biodiversity.
C. The high-lying areas ahead. D. Their natural structure.
33. What does the underlined word “hazard” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Response. B. Contribution. C. Attachment. D. Threat.
34. Why does the author mention the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004
A. To prove mangroves can fight against tsunamis.
B. To say engineered structures are easily destroyed.
C. To show the harmful results brought by tsunamis.
D. To explain the gradual formation of coastal disasters.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mangroves: the Mirrors of Natural Disasters
B. Mangroves: the Heroes of Coastal Protection
C. Mangroves: Seriously Threatened Plant Species
D. Mangroves: Shelters for Endangered Sea Animals

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。
We have all heard that if you talk to yourself, you’re crazy. ___36___ According to research, talking to yourself in a positive way is actually very healthy for your mind.
My first exposure to positive self-talk was reading The Little Engine That Could. Do you remember that book from your childhood While trying to make it up a big hill, the little engine keeps saying to himself, “I think I can. I think I can.” And of course, he makes it. ___37___
Positive self-talk is one of the most valuable tools you can use to keep yourself physically and mentally balanced. Many Olympic and professional athletes use it every time they practice or compete.
___38___ My own personal favorite is “I’m okay”. Back when I was in the movie business, I used to work with the stunt (特技) team.

My apartment was on the second floor of a duplex(复式公寓), and one rainy day I slipped on the top step and started falling over. Then I just kept telling myself, “I’m okay.” ___39___ There were only a few scratches (擦伤) on my legs. I believe to this day that it was the simple positive self-talk that helped keep me from being seriously injured.
Positive self-talk can also help you calm down from anxiety and feel less sad. There was a period of time when I felt upset. Every morning, I woke up and said to myself, “Hi, Barton. You’re going to have a good day today.” ___40___ When I did it throughout the day, fewer things would bother me, and I became friendlier to myself.
A. In fact, that’s not always the case.
B. Much to my surprise, I was just fine.
C. It’s a valuable lesson for us to learn and remember.

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。
It was 2016 and I was 17. I was searching through online videos for something new to add to my circus skills. Training to be a circus performer, I could already do lots of tricks, but I really wanted to do something rare.
A video caught my eye! It was about a circus performer shooting arrows with a bow-using her feet! That was incredible! I decided to do something like that. I bought a bow and arrow and then went straight to my circus school to start practising.
I was already good at handstands so the idea was that I’d stand on my hands and then shoot the arrow using my toes (脚趾). I controlled the bow and arrow between my toes and at first I could barely get it to shoot one meter. But I kept at it, clocking in several hours a day. Along with practising my bow and arrow skills, I did weights and yoga to stay strong and flexible.
I dreamed of being a great full-time performer, so I kept it up. By the time I left school, I had shot a bullseye (靶心) from around 10 meters away. The world record was shooting a bullseye at 12 meters, so I was determined to beat it someday.
After I left school, Chayne Hultgren, a famous circus performer, offered to train me. I joined him at a festival in 2018 and had my own little side show. Later, we did a lot of popular shows.
“I’m worried about my toe grip(抓力),” I told Chayne.
“Sandpaper the skin between your toes to cause friction,” he suggested.
I was determined to make it, so I took his advice. I sanded the skin until my toes bled. It was painful but I held on and gradually the flesh between my toes toughened up, increasing my toe grip.
Eventually, I could shoot a target further than 12 meters, so I contacted the Guinness World Records to find out what I’d need to do to enter. The trick needed to be filmed from different angles and several people had to witness it. The distance had to be measured by a qualified surveyor.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

M: It’s reported that few teenagers would like to spend time on housework at home. In their opinion, it’s a complete waste of time. Some even think they should be taken good care of by their parents all the time. However, such life skills are really necessary.
On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education in China produced a document for high schools. According to the document, labor education is listed as a compulsory course for high school students, The labor course takes six credits—the same as the foreign language or physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. Schools are asked to make sure students do 40-hour voluntary service during the full three school years.
A recent study shows that teenagers in China do very little housework. Middle school students spend only 12 minutes a day on housework, compared to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
Some parents think doing housework can make students pay less attention to their schoolwork. But they are wrong. Doing housework is very helpful for teenagers. According to Northwest Educational Service, doing housework can not only teach teamwork and problem-solving skills but also give people a sense of pride. Through such education, students are expected to develop working abilities as well as a better understanding of the world.

56. from考查介词。“result from...”意为“由……引起”，为固定短语。

第二节
One possible version:
On August 15, 2022, with all in place, I went to a tennis court where I’d make my attempt. At first, I did the trick at 15 meters. The crowds cheered for me. “I believe you can do better than that,” Chayne said. Therefore, we put the target back a bit further. Eventually, after about six goes, I managed to nail the bullseye from 18. 27 meters, upside down, balancing on my hands while holding the bow with one foot and pulling back the string with my toes. “You did it!” screamed Chayne, running to hug me.
Then I sent all the in formation to the Guinness World Records to check on it. Finally, five months later, in January 2023, I was up late one night when I received an email from them, I was so thrilled and relieved. This feat had been several years in the making! From then on, when my performance was introduced, the host could say I was a world record holder. It was a great title! I knew that my dream to be a great full-time performer was going to come true. But I also knew that I wouldn’t stop my step to achieving higher.
