1 . 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。

Torrie Norwood was a girl student at Lakewood High School, which offered a life-saving course. Torrie was very interested and she was registered at the class. Instructor Erika Miller was a long-time and skilled teacher, who taught basic life support, CPR (心肺复苏), along with Heartsaver First Aid. Erika stressed that life-saving skills were very important. To save a person’s life, you must perform CPR within 4-6 minutes. “You never know when an emergency will occur,” Erika said. “But you know what you should do at a crucial moment.” When Torrie finished the course last Friday, she was glad to earn her certification.

The next day Torrie and her three classmates had just spent a typical Saturday night out when they decided to head home. As they drove back to their hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida, a speeding pickup truck crashed into them. Then the screaming started. “It’s gonna blow!” yelled the gathering crowd as the pickup truck went up in smoke.

Torrie’s door wouldn’t open, but her window had been knocked out during the crash, so she was forced to climb through her window to get out. Two of her classmates, both unhurt, were also able to free themselves from the vehicle.

But when Torrie turned around, she didn’t see Simmons running with them. Torrie realized that her friend Simmons was still in the car. Torrie had to run back to the car as fast as she could. She was still in there—unresponsive in the back seat. There was glass and blood everywhere. Things didn’t look good.

Simmons had hit her head on a rear passenger window. The great force resulted in life-threatening injuries. After pulling Simmons out from the car quickly, Torrie gently laid her on the ground and checked her vital signs, unable to detect a pulse (脉搏).

7 . American researchers say they have developed a method to remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the sea. The researchers say the process can be an additional way to help reduce CO₂ from the environment to fight the effects of climate change.

Plants and currents in the ocean absorb large amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere. The sea is estimated to have drawn in about 30 percent of carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution. But carbon emissions also make oceans more acidic (酸性的). It can hurt coral reefs, which are sensitive to ocean acidity. Reef damage then do damage to the growth of many kinds of sea life.

Gaurav Sant, director of UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management, said the technology is meant to use the ocean’s natural abilities to reduce carbon levels in the sea. The process sends an electrical charge through seawater flowing through tanks on a large boat. That sets off a series of chemical reactions that turn the carbon emissions into a solid mineral that includes calcium carbonate (碳酸钙). The seawater then returned to the ocean and can pull more carbon dioxide out of the air. The calcium carbonate settles to the sea floor.

The process has already been demonstrated in California. Researchers are working on plans to launch another project in Singapore. The two projects are expected to be fully operational by 2025. Researchers say they are expected to remove thousands of tons of CO₂ per year. If successful, the plan is to build additional centers to remove millions of tons of carbon each year.

But experts say even if that amount of carbon can be removed, that is still thousands of times less than what will be needed to effectively reduce climate change. Margaret Leinen, director of an ocean research center, said, “While the process will likely be effective, I question how much effect it will have on climate change over a long period.” Sant said the success of such technology will greatly rely on “how fast you can build the centers”.

1. What can we learn about carbon emissions from the text?

A．Most of them are taken in by the oceans.

B．They can harm many kinds of sea life indirectly.

C．Removal of them poses a serious threat to coral reefs.

D．They will decrease ocean acidity when absorbed by seawater.

2. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in paragraph 3?

A．How a series of reactions form.

B．How an electrical charge is sent.

C．How the carbon emissions turned into a solid material.

D．How the ocean reduces carbon levels with its own natural abilities.

3. What is Margaret Leinen’s attitude to the process of removing CO₂ from the sea?

A．Opposed.

B．Concerned.

C．Approving.

D．Disbelieving.

4. What would the author most probably talk about next?

B．The construction of industrial-sized centers.

9 . We all have habits we’d like to break, whether it’s biting your fingernails, or eating late at night. But why are these habits so hard to break?

Our brain seeks to minimize effort and space, and this kind of automatic brain behavior is referred to as “chunking”. Chunking aids in creating a new habit pattern in cells of the brain. It’s like a task you do every day that you no longer really have to think about.

This process is a three-step loop. Step 1 is the cue. Step 2 is the routine. And Step 3 is the reward. The cue and reward eventually intertwine (交织), creating anticipation and cravings (渴望), another essential part of habits. Because we go into an automatic mode during routines, our brains stop fully participating in decision-making. Our habits will automatically unfold every time there is a cue.

So, how to break the habits, like biting your nails? Psychologists suggest that first you think about when you bite your nails. Are you nervous or bored? In the case of boredom, nail-biting offers a “physical stimulation”. So next, mark down every time you feel bored and have the compulsion to bite your nails. But then you want to make a “competing response”. Whenever you feel the desire to bite, you immediately put your hands in your pockets. Next, find a substitute (替代品) that provides a quick physical stimulation, like knocking your fingers slightly on the desk. This allows for one habit to be replaced by another with a similar reward but also uses the same cue.

So when you are ready to take on a bad habit, just remember, figure out what your body is actually craving, use the same cue and the reward that serves the correct purpose, and be patient to help build that new habit.

A．Why skills are hard to master.

B．Why habits are difficult to break.

C．How the brain minimizes effort and space.

D．How cells help form chunking in our brain.

2. Why the habit of biting nails is mentioned?

A．To prove it is a bad habit.

B．To show how a habit is formed.

C．To state psychologists’ opinion.

D．To explain how to give up a habit.

3. What does the underlined “compulsion” mean in Paragraph 4?

A．Opportunity.

B．Ambition.

C．Desire.

D．Responsibility.

4. What is the trick of quitting a bad habit?

A．Finding a substitute stimulation.

B．Making full use of the brain.

C．Figuring out the reward.

D．Serving the correct purpose.
