21、Before practising getting to know yourself, it’s important to be open to whatever you find. 【1】 However, once you’re armed with an accepting attitude, you will find the process of self-discovery enjoyable and exciting.
Get to know your personality
You can understand your personality by reflection. 【2】. Put down the past events that have shaped your future self, especially your early life experiences. Often, what we go through as children plays a key role in creating patterns, preferences and needs for the future.
【3】
When we think about self-knowledge, it’s easy to focus on the psychological (心理的) at the expense of the physical. However, getting to know your body is just as important as getting to know your mind. Learning more about your body helps you to set realistic goals and know your own limits, as well as helping you feel more comfortable.
Identify your strengths and weaknesses
Getting to know yourself is all about developing a real picture of who you are, including the parts you are proud of and the parts that you struggle with from time to time. Think about what you like about yourself, and which parts of yourself get the most positive feedback (反馈). 【4】, ask yourself whether there are common themes in your failures or in disappointing times of your life.
Question your automatic (自动的) thoughts
Many of us have a tendency to experience automatic thoughts that are negative. If you don’t know yourself very well, you may just accept these negative thoughts. You may then feel bad about yourself. However, when you have higher levels of self-awareness, you can catch these thoughts as they come up and redirect them to more positive thoughts. 【5】.
A.Get to know your body
B.Have a good knowledge of your mind
C.When it comes to identifying your weaknesses
D.After all, you might be surprised by who you are
E.Making a list helps you make better sense of yourself
F.Unless you hope to find out where your weaknesses lie
G.In time, the more positive thoughts will become automatic
22、The San Diego County Water Authority has an unusual plan to use the city’s San Vicente Reservoir(水库)to store solar power. The project could help unlock America’s clean energy future.
Perhaps ten years from now, large underground pipes will connect the lake to a new reservoir built about 1100 feet higher. When the sun is high in the sky, California’s rich solar power will pump (泵水) water into that upper reservoir. When the sun goes down, the force of water would produce 500 megawatts (百万千瓦)of electricity for up to eight hours. “It’s a water battery!” says Neena Kuzmich, director of engineering for the water authority.
The technology that San Diego puts forward is already in use at more than 40 sites in the US. Some of them were built during the 1970s to store electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Now, the need to store power from renewable sources is bringing this old technology back.
Water batteries have many competitors, when it comes to storing energy. However, they have their own advantages. Water batteries are a proven way to store large amounts of power. The San Vicente project would store about as much electricity as the batteries in 50, 000 of Tesla’s Model 3 cars. They also don’t require hard-to-find battery materials. The biggest problem with them is that it is hard to find places to build them. They need a great deal of water, land to build two reservoirs and permission to damage the landscape.
Kelly Catlett, director of an environmental organization, says, “We won’t support projects that build new damns on rivers and damage ecosystems. But San Diego’s plan looks like something different, because it uses an existing reservoir and doesn’t damage any streams.”
【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.What a water battery is.
B.How the project will work.
C.Why reservoirs are needed.
D.What the clean energy future is.
【2】What is the advantage of water batteries over their competitors?
A.They can power Tesla’s cars.
B.They can store renewable sources.
C.The battery materials are easy to get.
D.The technology applied is a new breakthrough.
【3】What is the biggest challenge for water batteries?
A.Damage caused to nature.
B.The shortage of solar power.
C.Limited ability to store energy.
D.Proper places for construction.
【4】What is Kelly Catlett’s attitude towards the project?
A.Unconcerned.
B.Worried.
C.Supportive.
D.Doubtful.
23、I was lucky enough to have a chance to study in the United States as an international student from Ukraine when I was fourteen years old. I went to a wonderful school, West Seattle High School, for my freshman year.
I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier (语言障碍). I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.
And the moment the word “international” flew out of my mouth, I was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?” “Do you have McDonald’s? Does it taste the same?” and “Say something in your language”. It turned out to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun.
During the first three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”
One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally, my classmate came up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?” At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown (长袍) and waving at the crowd. What? People do have a wild imagination! During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.
【1】Why was the author afraid on the first day of school?

24、 A video of a family being saved from their burning home went viral on TikTok as it showed a neighbor running over and banging (猛敲) on the front door to wake up those inside.
Nicole Salgado, who lived in Avondale with her husband David Salgado and their four children, posted the clip of the ring doorbell camera film to her TikTok page to show just how they had been woken up on the first day of the new year.
“It was about 7:30 in the morning. We were all asleep because it was New Year’s Eve the night before. We all stayed up and did the countdown, so we were all still sleeping and we got woken up by banging on the door. The doorbell was going off,” she said. “We just heard banging, banging, banging, so my husband and I shot up out of bed and we looked at each other and we were like ‘What’s going on? Who could that be?’”
There was little time to even process the possibility of what was happening so that instead she immediately ran to grab her kids, while David went to the front door. “He opened the door and I heard the neighbor, Carol, say, ‘Get out. Your house is on fire. Get out,’” she explained. That moment, recorded by the family’s doorbell system, was what so many responded to on TikTok, calling Carol the family’s “guardian angel” and referring to her as a hero as she offered the Salgado family to take shelter in her home.
“The biggest thing I take from this story is just be kind to your neighbors. Before we’d wave hi, bye. Just a friendly neighbor interaction. Now, it’ll be completely different,” Nicole says. “We’re just so grateful to her. Now, she’s gonna be family. It’s so refreshing to see that there are people out there that care about other people.”

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。
Rose was an unfortunate girl. When she was 15, her parents were lost to a flood, leaving her with her grandma, who was over 60.
Grandma had to work hard to support the family and pay her tuition fees. Three years later, Rose was admitted to a college. Unfortunately, the cost of ten thousand yuan a year at college was too much for Grandma. She couldn’t afford it even if she worked day and night. Rose decided to give up the chance to go to college and work at home.
Rose’s grandmother struck her with a shaking hand and said, “Never give up. Everything will be all right.” So Rose left her hometown and set foot on the road to study.
Rose studied very hard and she saved every penny. It was in her second semester that she received a letter from her grandmother. During the holidays, she had heard Grandma talk about her plan to work as a babysitter. At that time, she persuaded Grandma that no one would hire her at such an old age. Unexpectedly, Grandma told her in the letter that she actually worked as a babysitter in a person’s home. Rose smiled in relief. What Grandma didn’t tell her was that a man failing in his business had promised to help Rose’s study when she was reduced to begging. From then on, Rose, received the tuition fees and living costs provided by her grandmother in time. Every time she received the money, her heart would shake. What she was holding in her hands was not money, but Grandma’s warm heart.
One day after she started her junior year, her grandmother’s employer found her at school and told her that her grandmother had passed away. Her heart was broken when she heard the news. The employer, Eric, a young man aged 37 or 38, told her with tears in his eyes, “You have the greatest grandma in the world, girl. Don’t disappoint your grandma in the future. I’ll cover all your tuition if you come to work for my business when you finish your studies. That’s a promise.”
注意:
