When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer（同龄人）review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible-it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
24．What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning
A．He was unwilling to attend it. B．He was excited to take part in it.
C．He was astonished to hear about it. D．He was unhappy to withdraw from it.
25．How did the poetry project benefit the author
A．It boosted his confidence.
B．It developed his sense of humor.
C．It reminded him to be independent.
D．It taught him how to organize activities.
26．What can be inferred about Summit Learning
A．It proves the limits of one’s abilities.
B．It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
C．It transforms the traditional way of learning.
D．It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.
27．How does the author find Summit Learning now
A．Demanding. B．Admirable. C．Upsetting. D．Conventional.

In 2020, Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest survey on the topic ever undertaken. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries,
“How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently ” Most of them said regret was at least an occasional part of their life. Roughly 21 percent said they felt regretful all the time. Only 1 percent said they never felt regretful.
If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you may think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. Letting yourself be overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To extinguish your regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow but causes you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.
Uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive feat. It requires that you go back to a past scene. Imagine that you acted differently to change it, and with that new scene in mind, arrive at a different present—and then, compare that fictional present with the one you are experiencing in reality. Not all regrets are the same, of course. Pink says they come in four basic varieties, and an instance of regret may involve just one combination.
Many connection regrets overlap（重叠）with moral regrets, which can come about after you go against your own values. For example, you may pride yourself on being a loving person, and thus regret not living up to this image in the relationship you harmed. Moral regrets can also involve just yourself. Maybe you regret not living up to your commitment to your health when you ate a whole pizza or skipped the gym.
If not analyzed and managed, any variety of regret can be harmful to your well-being. Regret is linked to depression and anxiety, and excessive regret can adversely affect your immune system. But regret doesn’t have to be put aside and ignored.
28．What could be concluded from Pink’s research
A．Half of the people felt regretful.
B．Most people lived without regrets.
C．None could live a life without regrets.
D．The majority of the people had regrets.
29．What does the underlined word “extinguish” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Admit. B．Destroy. C．Treasure. D．Encounter.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The harm of moral regrets.
B．The importance of commitment.
C．The relationship between regrets and values.
D．The connection between reality and imagination.
31．What might the author continue talking about
A．Types of regrets. B．Causes of regrets.
C．Benefits of experiencing regrets. D．Ways of dealing with regrets.
D
Reshaping the world for a fossil fuel-free future means working quickly. Climate scientists say carbon emissions must stop by 2025 to minimize environmental damage. And by designing computational materials together with makers who can build and test them quickly, scientists can rapidly develop technologies like more powerful solar cells and car batteries.
Michael is the name of a supercomputer devoted to just one task—discovering the ultimate battery system. Researchers at University College London will use Michael to digitally build and test prototypes（原型）in every new material and type of cell possible to improve battery life, performance and price.
Finding a resilient（弹性的）design for solid-state batteries would be a huge breakthrough for electric vehicles and energy storage. Lighter, longer-lasting and cheaper solid-state technology could vastly improve vehicle range and charging time. And the energy from solar and wind power could be more efficiently stored until ready for use.
Scientists working in the US and the UK led the way in the 1970s in developing the lithium-ion（锂离子）battery used in today’s electric cars, laptops and cameras. But commercial units were only developed once the Japanese electronics giant pushed the technology forward for mass production. Partnerships between companies and universities could ultimately crack solid-state battery design. Oxford University and some companies are looking to win the international race to create a durable product. But they are only one among many.
Replacing liquid used in lithium-ion batteries with a solid conductor may take large digital processing. Electric vehicle makers are working with a computer giant to find successful designs that may include cheap and plentiful materials found in seawater. An electric vehicle maker is partnering with NASA to open a solid-state battery plant that uses no rare or expensive metals. The plan is to create a large database of materials that can be mixed and matched for the best combinations.
But computational materials may be needed in virtually every industry. And by rapidly classifying millions of substances on their ability to conduct electricity, their toughness, or the way they reflect light, AI and supercomputers can speed up the process of creating materials for just about anything.
32．What message does paragraph 1 convey
A．It’s too fast to design computational materials.
B．It’s too late to reshape the fossil fuel-free world.
C．Developing green energy can reduce carbon emissions.
D．Developing technology can speed up carbon emissions.
33．What are solid-state batteries expected to be like
A．Heavy and solid. B．Light but breakable.
C．Less-costly and workable. D．Expensive but efficient.
34．Why does the author mention Oxford University in paragraph 4
A．To show the weakness of mass production.
B．To show the good trend of the cooperation.
C．To show the difficulty of the battery design.
D．To show the development of British technology.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Michael Is Devoted to Storing Solar Energy
B．Companies and NASA Will Push Technology Forward
C．Electric Vehicle Makers Are Struggling to Solve Air Pollution
D．Supercomputers and AI Can Create Future Low-carbon Industries

We all know how emotionally taxing being a college student can be with difficult assignments, hundreds of pages of reading and challenging tests. 36 Here are some strategies helpful for you.
●Recognize sad feeling moments as a must. Maybe you just find out that you get a bad grade in a test, or that you have a stressful presentation you need to start. 37 When you’re really upset about something, you’re not in the right mindset to do homework. You’d better calm down before attempting anything else.
●See stress as part of the college experience and relax yourself properly. When feeling stressed out, you can try giving yourself a 15-minute break between assignments to do what you like—watching videos, going for a walk, etc. If you have multiple classes that day, you can try taking the scenic route to class and enjoy the fresh air. 38
●Remind yourself that you’re just a human. This is hard but necessary. If you’re mentally incapable of attending that class, let the professor know that you can’t go. If you’re struggling but you have lots of assignments, see if you can get extensions or attend office hours to get help so you can feel less stressed. 39 So don’t push your sanity（理智）beyond its limits.
● 40 We have multiple places on campus for you to reach out. Don’t feel embarrassed about it. College life can be full of many things, and it’s completely normal to find yourself completely overwhelmed. But you have resources. There are lots of trusted people very willing to help you!
A．Look for good places.
B．Remember to ask for help.
C．As a person, you can take only so much.
D．It helps to keep you healthy and energetic.
E．It’s hard to balance college life and emotional well-being.
F．Regardless of your reasons, it’s okay to give yourself a break.
G．Doing something you enjoy between work intervals can really help.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Living in the shadow of my two elder sisters at college who already had their lives planned out since they were little, I was always undecided about everything. As a teenager, I was fickle（反复无常的）. I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters What are you going to do with your life Aren’t you interested in anything at all ” After a couple of shrugs（耸肩）, my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled, Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough, No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself.
Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action.
I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
