Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put
food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive（入侵的）seaweed
called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an
opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from
entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its
way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican
shorelines in 2023．
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its
true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families,
but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life
experiences, he decided to become an agent（推动者）for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of
something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these
blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and
baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material
that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for
those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own
mom.
24．What can be learned from paragraph 1?
A．Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
B．Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
C．Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
D．Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
25．How did most people react to the increasing sargassum?
A．They didn’t take it seriously. B．They were anxious to clear it up.
C．They viewed it as new materials. D．They were excited to see a grand scene.
26．Which words can best describe Omar?
A．Honest and ambitious. B．Strong-willed and confident.
C．Quick-thinking and humorous. D．Sympathetic and innovative.
27．What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success?
A．It’s never too old to learn. B．Love shines every dark corner.
C．Solutions can be obtained from problems. D．Heroes arise from humble beginnings.
C
With artificial intelligence（AI）and robotic technology improving at impressive rates, there are some who
worry that there’s a risk of artistic and creative people being replaced. A new study by the Korean Institute of
Industrial Technology, however, is showing exactly why that can’t and shouldn’t happen. It all started when the South
Korean company posed this question: Can robots replace conductors?
Over a year ago, work to develop automaton（自动化）began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and
didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with
joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It
was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1．8 meters. It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through
on its musical role.
“We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts, and what the
challenges are,” Dong-w o ok Lee, a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology said.
In order to pull this off, Dong-wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. The 12-minute
piece they planned to perform, “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the
strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind.
To pull off this impressive performance, the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat
patterns. Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational（即兴
的）score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece.
Together, they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the
opportunity to witness it firsthand!
With the concert having gone so well, this is only the start of EverR 6．Still, no matter the improvements they’re
able to make to this Android robot, the human conductor isn’t concerned about being replaced.
“Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human
conductor.”
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The function of the EverR 6 robot.
B．The development of the EverR 6 robot.
C．The EverR 6 robot’s role as a conductor.
D．The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot.
29．What can be learned about “Feel”?
A．It is a piece familiar to the audience.
B．It is a piece showing the human-robot cooperation.
C．It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform.
D．It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct.
30．What role did Soo-yeol Choi play in the performance?
A．He corrected the robot’s mistakes.
B．He programmed the EverR 6 robot.
C．He led the improvisational section of the performance.
D．He was the main conductor of the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.
31．What is Soo-yeol Choi’s attitude towards EverR 6?
A．Unclear. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Doubtful.
D
“What beautiful music!”I shout loudly as my 9-year-old son practices playing the violin. He’s used to this praise;
I give rewards like that most days. But every once in a while, I skip it, and when I do, I can see the disappointment on
his face when he’s finished.
Am I a bad mom? Conventional wisdom says that consistency is key to parenting since it enables your child to
predict how you’ll react, leading to good behavior. And it’s true that children need some level of predictability in their
lives, particularly when it comes to discipline.
But research suggests that inconsistent gifts and praise can have a greater effect on motivation. While we all like
to live in a predictable world, we often respond more strongly to unpredictable rewards.
In one experiment, my colleagues and I told participants they’d be paid if they could drink about one-and-a-half
quarts of water in two minutes or less. In one condition, we offered people a $2 fixed reward. In another, there was an
uncertain reward of either $2 or $1．The certain reward was a better deal, yet many more people successfully met the
challenge when assigned an uncertain reward. Resolving the uncertainty—whether they would win $1 or $2—was
significantly more motivating than winning $2 for sure.
Here is one of the reasons why uncertainty is motivating. What scientists call “intermittent（间歇性）
reinforcement” —rewarding behavior on some but not all occasions—makes it more arduous to know when rewards
will show up. If you very often, but don’t always, praise your child for completing their chores, they’ll keep up the
good behavior in the hope of receiving praise the next time.
So don’t assume that if kids are always praised for finishing their homework, they’ll be more likely to do it. Do
praise young people for a job well done, just not every time. And pick rewards out of a hat when they complete
chores—the surprise prize might keep everyone motivated to get things done.
32．Why does the author mention her kid’s story in the first paragraph?
A．To display the conclusion of her research.
B．To show that her kid is very smart.
C．To explain that she is a good mom.
D．To lead in the topic.
33．Why did more participants choose an uncertain reward in the experiment?
A．It was more inspiring. B．It was more demanding.
C．It was fair to all participants. D．It was easy to get more rewards.
34．What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Convenient. B．Popular. C．Flexible. D．Difficult.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Why Consistency Is Critical to Parenting
B．Why Resolving Uncertainty Is Rewarding
C．How Inconsistent Praise Affects Motivation
D．How Parents’ Behaviors Affect Their Children

Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another.
It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties. Different from fear, joy, or anger, cheerfulness isn’t something that
overcomes you. 36 As such, you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch. Here are
four ways to do so.
Acknowledge the difficulties.
Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality. 37 Instead, it’s extremely
important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing. Only by first acknowledging that things are
tough will you be able to find ways to cope.
Don’t focus on the negative.
Whether in your personal life or in society, it’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong. But whatever you focus on,
it grows. If you decide to focus on what’s going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume
you. 38
Be grateful for what you have.
39 Usually, they’re the things we take for granted until they’re no longer there, such as good health, a
loving family, or even something as simple as a beautiful sunrise. Being grateful will shift your perspective and make
it easier to see the silver linings of your problems.
40
No cheerfulness without laughter. So you can watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends.
Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, makes you feel less pain, and protects you from stress.
Laughter is cathartic（精神宣泄的）and infectious. Laugh and brighten the room.
A．Find your sense of humor.
B．Deal with difficulties seriously.
C．Focus on the good things you have.
D．To a large degree, cheerfulness is a choice.
E．You’re not covering your eyes and looking away.
F．Acknowledge the problems, but don’t give them too much attention.
G．Being cheerful will make you see the world and your own life in a different way.

It was the end of the school day, and I was tired. I grabbed a pile of about 130 exam papers to 41 on the

“No!” screamed Asha as she saw a huge pimple（粉刺）on her nose. She didn’t have time to cover the pimple
as she was running late to school. She ate her breakfast fast, grabbed her bag and caught her school bus just in time.
As soon as she got on the bus, kids started laughing. Nobody was willing to let her sit beside them. Even Anita, her
best friend, acted a bit differently, which made her more upset.
Asha was lost in thought. A new thought popped in her mind every second. Once she thought “Great! I have to
worry about my pimple as if homework and exams were not enough.” The next minute another thought popped in her
mind.“I am tired of using this face wash. I still wonder how I agreed to use that thing!” Then suddenly, Mr. Shetty, the
bus driver, said, “Asha, do you want to miss the class?” Asha was so lost in her thought that she did not even notice
that everybody had got off the bus except her.
She did not want to step into the school campus. She thought, “What will my teachers think? What will my
friends think?” After some time, she gathered courage and entered her class; expecting that she would be laughed at.
While entering the class, she heard students commenting on her pimple. A child laughed, “Look, someone’s cherry is
on her nose! Get it for me.”She heard some boys murmuring, “She would definitely be chosen as the joker in the
dance.”
It was a very hard day at school for her. As soon as she got home, she hugged her mother tightly, with tears
welling up in her eyes.
