What will you do when you feel like a failure? Feeling like a failure is part of the human experiences. Treat
yourself with kindness and understand that failure does not define you， but it is a stepping stone on your journey.
When you're ready， take action and challenge yourself.
As some friends were deeply lost in the world of yoga and mindfulness， I've personally struggled with the
feeling of failure， not on the yoga mat， but on the road to my entrepreneurship(创业). It all began several years
ago when I threw myself into the business， driven by my passion and a dream.
In the early days， optimism flowed freely， but financial struggles and sleepless nights soon followed. I
questioned my decision and felt like the biggest failure. However， every difficulty became a stepping stone towards
growth. I learned more from my failures than from my successes， adapting and growing stronger with each obstacle.
I reached out to instructors，friends and family， sought advice and slowly saw a ray of hope. One defining moment
came when I gained my first long-term coaching partnership. It was a breakthrough， and my hard work paid off.
Over the years， I faced many more failures， but I refused to let them define me.
Today， looking back at my journey， I realize that moments of feeling like a failure were essential to my
success. They taught me humility， perseverance and the value of hard work.They shaped me into a successful
entrepreneur I am today—someone who doesn't fear failure but embraces it as a necessary part of the path to success.
As we approach the end of the year of graduation， remember that success is not about avoiding failure， but about
how we rise after we fall. Let's support each other on this journey called life. Stay positive， stay inspired and stay
true to ourselves.
4. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To give the definition of failure.
B. To list some examples of failure.
C. To introduce the topic of the story.
D. To stress the importance of experience.

Historical accounts often described the now-extinct California grizzly bears as huge beasts ready to attack
humans and livestock at any time. But according to a new paper， scientists say the truth might have been less
dramatic: The bears ate a mostly vegetarian diet and were smaller than previously described. California grizzly bears
once roamed in the Golden State.But European settlers often hunted， poisoned and trapped the creatures. Over
time， because of these human activities， the California grizzly population declined. The last reliable sighting of
a California grizzly bear occurred 100 years ago in 1924， and the animals disappeared completely sometime after
that.
Researchers wanted to get a better understanding of the factors that accelerated the bears'extinction. They also
hoped to gain more insight into the creatures' behavior， size and diet.To do so， they turned to documents and
California grizzly specimens in natural history collections. They measured the animals' skulls and teeth and analyzed
their bones and pelts.The researchers found that California grizzly bears were much smaller than the 2，000 pounds
often reported at the time. Historical accounts might not necessarily have been wrong， but they might have only
included the largest bears. In addition， analyses of the animals' bones and skins suggest the bears were primarily
eating plants， which stands in contrast to their fearsome hypercarnivorous （超级食肉的） reputation. “The bears
likely increased meat consumption due to landscape changes coupled with the arrival of livestock，”says study co-
author Alexis Mychajliw. However， researchers found the animals still ate a majority vegetarian diet and killed far
less livestock than historical accounts suggested.
By digging beyond the bears' reputation， the researchers gained a more accurate understanding of the
California grizzly's biology and natural history. And since scientists and land managers often rely on historical
accounts when reintroducing animals to their former habitats， the study serves as a reminder that those old
newspapers and journals do not tell the whole story.
8. What does the underlined word“roamed”in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Disappeared. B. Wandered. C. Declined. D. Fought.
9. What did the researchers discover about California grizzly bears?
【高三英语 第3页(共 8 页)】 24-411C
A. They mainly fed on livestock.
B. Their diet consisted mostly of plants.
C. They ate a balanced diet of plants and meat.
D. The absence of livestock changed their dietary habit.
10. What can we learn about historical accounts of animals from the last paragraph?
A. They are unique. B. They are accurate.
C. They are comprehensive. D. They are one-sided.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The natural habitats of California grizzly bears.
B. The extinction process of California grizzly bears.
C. The level of the truth of California grizzly bears.
D. The significance of the arrival of California grizzly bears.

Until recently， gravitational waves could have been the stuff of Einstein's imagination.Before they were
detected， these waves in space time existed only in the physicist's general theory of relativity， as far as scientists
knew. Now， researchers are on the hunt for more ways to detect the waves.“The study of gravitational waves is
booming，”says astrophysicistKaran Jani of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. “This is just remarkable. No field I
can think of in fundamental physics has seen progress this fast.”
Just as light comes in a variety of wavelengths， so do gravitational waves. Different wavelengths point to
different types of origins of the universe and require different kinds of detectors. Gravitational waves with
wavelengths of a few thousand kilometers—like those detected by the United States， Italy and Japan—come mostly
from pairs of black holes 10 or so times the mass of the sun， or from collisions of dense cosmic blocks called
neutron stars（中子星）.These detectors could also spot waves from certain types of exploding stars and rapidly
moving neutron stars.
In contrast， huge waves that span light-years are thought to be created by orbiting pairs of bigger black holes
with masses billions of times that of the sun. In June， scientists reported the first strong evidence of these types of
waves by turning the entire galaxy（星系） into a detector， watching how the waves make slight changes to the
timing of regular blinks from neutron stars throughout the Milky Way.
Physicists now hope to dive into a vast， cosmic ocean of gravitational waves of all sorts of sizes. These waves
could reveal new details about the secret lives of exotic objects such as black holes and unknown parts of the universe.
Physicist Jason Hogan of Stanford University thinks there are still a lot of gaps in the coverage of
wavelengths.“But it makes sense to cover all the bases. Who knows what else we may find?” he says. The search for
capturing the full complement of the universe's gravitational waves exactly could take observatories out into the
moon， to the atomic area and elsewhere.
12. What does Karan Jani think of the current study on gravitational waves?
A. It is rapid and pioneering.
B. It is slow but steadily increasing.
C. It is interrupted due to limited detectors.
【高三英语 第4页(共 8 页)】 24-411C
D. It is progressing as fast as any other field.
13. What do the detected gravitational waves mostly indicate?
A. The creation of different kinds of detectors.
B. Collisions of planets outside the solar system.
C. The presence of light in different wavelengths.
D. Activities involving black holes and neutron stars.
14. How did scientists manage to find huge waves' evidence?
A. By andyzing sunlight.
B. By locating the new galaxy.
C. I using the whole galaxy as a tool.
D. By observing the sun's regular movement.
15. What can be inferred about the future study according to the last paragraph?
A. It'll exclude the atomic field.
B. It'll focus exactly on the mapping of the galaxy.
C. It'll require prioritizing certain wavelengths on the moon.
D. It'll explore potential places to detect gravitational waves.

Shop Sustainably
If you have to name one thing that contributes most to your ecological footprints， you may say the energy you
use at home， or your car's emissions. 16 Knowing this can make your grocery shops more planet-friendly. Here
is what you can do to help shop sustainably.
17 Using those is a great first step. If you get some， do remember to fill them with your purchases. When
you adapt yourself to reusing them， then you'll cut your consumption of single-use plastic bags even further.
Avoid unnecessary packing. Buy loose fruit and vegetables instead of pre-packaged produce， and avoid
products that contain multiple single packages or double packaging， like grain in a box and a bag. Consider
switching from tea bags and coffee pods to tea leaves and ground coffee. 18
Go organic when you can. In addition to the benefit organic farming has to insect biodiversity， it's also
considered more sustainable and better for the environment. 19 Choosing free-range or Marine Stewardship
Council-certified products also encourages environment- and animal-friendly food production.
Buy seasonal and native products. 20 So you can avoid buying goods that have travelled long distances to
reach your plate. As well as opting for local goods， depending on where you live， in the supermarket， you can
also buy directly from the source at farmers'markets.
【高三英语 第5页(共 8 页)】 24-411C
A. Take reusable grocery bags.
B. Select single-use plastic bags.
C. It supports local farmers and food producers.

Dynasty， invented mutton hotpot. For a long time，only the upper classes could get their hands on mutton hotpot.
It was also 38 （extraordinary） popular among many royal families of the Qing Dynasty. And according to the
record， Emperor Qianlong was a true hotpot lover.
Among vegetables and meat spread out on the dinner table， mutton has been placed in the center. Many diners
believe mutton has the medical effect of warming the body， 39 （make） it an ideal food for the colder months.
Many folk customs favor mutton over beef in part because in the past， cattle 40 （consider） much more

Traditional Beijing instant boiled mutton， 42 many southerners think tasteless， is known for its simplicity.
It has no mouthwatering hotpot soup base， just plain water with some scallion and ginger（葱和姜） slices 43
（add）. Thus， the quality of the mutton plays a major role in the hotpot experience.
