WELCOME TO DENTAL 2023 IMPLANT CENTER GRAND OPENING!! VISIT OUR NEW LOCATION 3317 E.10th ST., LONG BEACH Save this coupon(优惠券)and you can enjoy the maximum discount in our new office: Single tooth implant costs only $700!(A 10% discount of normal). Including implant, abutment and crown. *Due date: 03/31/24. Cannot be combined with insurance fees or other coupons. New patients only. NOW SERVING YOU IN THREE LOCATIONS! IRVINE: 39 Creek Road, Suite 210 LAGUNA NIGUEL: 30012 Crown Valley Pkwy, STEB Unlike traditional artificial teeth, which are removable, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and then topped with a restoration such as a dental crown. They feel much more natural than conventional alternatives. Additionally, dental implants can help to prevent bone deterioration(退化)that is caused by missing teeth. The bone begins to deteriorate when you lose a tooth because it is no longer being stimulated daily. This can lead to severe bone loss over time. But by placing dental implants into the jawbone, we can preserve this structure. If you’re missing one, two, or all of your teeth, we encourage you to visit our new office in Long Beach, or call(949)857-6757 to schedule your appointment. We would be happy to help you find the best treatment plan to restore your smile and help you enjoy better oral health soon!

细节理解题。根据“Due date: 03/31/24. Cannot be combined with insurance fees or other coupons. New patients only.(截止日期:03/31/24。不能与保险费或其他优惠券合并使用。仅限新患者)”可知,优惠券只有新患者才能使用它。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Additionally, dental implants can help to prevent bone deterioration(退化)that is caused by missing teeth. The bone begins to deteriorate when you lose a tooth because it is no longer being stimulated daily. This can lead to severe bone loss over time. But by placing dental implants into the jawbone, we can preserve this structure.(此外,种植牙可以帮助防止因缺牙而导致的骨质退化。当你失去一颗牙齿时,骨头就开始恶化,因为它不再每天受到刺激。随着时间的推移,这会导致严重的骨质流失。但是通过在颌骨中植入牙齿,我们可以保留这种结构)”可知,种植牙的优点是保存了颌骨。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据本文标题“WELCOME TO DENTAL 2023 IMPLANT CENTERGRAND OPENING!!VISIT OUR NEW LOCATION(欢迎来到牙科2023种植中心.隆重开幕! !参观我们的新地点)”以及最后一段“If you’re missing one, two, or all of your teeth, we encourage you to visit our new office in Long Beach, or call(949)857-6757 to schedule your appointment.

B
Nuclear energy is one of the cleanest power on earth. It is cleaner than any energy source except wind. But that doesn’t necessarily mean nuclear is the long-term solution for the world because nuclear material is perhaps the most poisonous matter on earth. In addition, uranium, the element most commonly used in nuclear reactors, is not in limitless supply. But the biggest problem is nuclear waste.
How can we deal with nuclear waste The answer is simple—put them somewhere where they can stay, undisturbed, isolated, forever. Finland is building just that. This region is largely lacking in natural disasters. It really doesn’t encounter any natural phenomenon that could damage a nuclear waste storage site, especially if it’s 1, 500 feet underground. Beneath an island on the Finnish Baltic Sea coast, the country is digging. They’ re building the very first permanent nuclear waste storage facility in the world in the stable bedrock 1,500 feet below.
Currently they’ re just finishing their dig down, then very soon they’ll start filling the facility with nuclear waste. They’ll dig long tunnels with small holes in which they’ll place nuclear waste then backfill the tunnels with clay to be left forever.
With this system, there’s near zero risk of nuclear material leaking out into the groundwater and, once it’s filled in the year 2120, it can just be left, forever. Because the material will be so far down and so difficult to get to, no human management will be necessary once completed.
No security, no maintenance, nothing which means it should be truly secure, but before leaving it, Finland needs to fight against one thing—human nature. As curious beings, it’s hard to fight a person’s urge of discovery. If someone finds a mysterious structure from thousands of years ago, it’d just be natural to want to open it up, and that’s a problem for nuclear waste sites.
We essentially did just that with the pyramids in Egypt. These structures were built as the final, permanent resting places and we opened them up because we were curious. Opening the nuclear storage facilities would release radiation into a future civilization, so we have to tell them to leave the sites alone, but that’s easier said than done.
4. Why is Finland building a nuclear storage site deep underground
A. The tunnels there are easy to dig. B. The supply of uranium is limited.
C. Modern technology makes it possible. D. No natural disaster can influence the site.
5. What human nature does the author worry about
A. Being curious. B. A desire for security.
C. Being adventurous. D. A desire for control.
6. What is the author’s attitude toward Finland’s action
A. Supportive. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic.
7. Why are the pyramids in Egypt mentioned
A. To arouse people’s curiosity. B. To predict the site’s development.
C. To illustrate the author’s concern. D. To stress the importance of the project.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了芬兰正在地下建造核废料储存设施,以防止泄漏,但人类好奇心可能成为问题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This region is largely lacking in natural disasters. It really doesn’t encounter any natural phenomenon that could damage a nuclear waste storage site, especially if it’s 1, 500 feet underground. (这个地区很少发生自然灾害。它真的不会遇到任何可能破坏核废料储存地点的自然现象,尤其是在地下1500英尺的地方。)”可知,芬兰要在地下深处建造核储存设施是因为这个地区不受自然灾害影响。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“As curious beings, it’s hard to fight a person’s urge of discovery. If someone finds a mysterious structure from thousands of years ago, it’d just be natural to want to open it up, and that’s a problem for nuclear waste sites. (作为好奇的人,很难抑制一个人的探索冲动。如果有人发现了一个数千年前的神秘结构,很自然就会想要打开它,这对核废料场来说是个问题。)”可知,作者担心的人类天性是好奇心。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“No security, no maintenance, nothing which means it should be truly secure, but before leaving it, Finland needs to fight against one thing—human nature. As curious beings, it’s hard to fight a person’s urge of discovery. If someone finds a mysterious structure from thousands of years ago, it’d just be natural to want to open it up, and that’s a problem for nuclear waste sites. (没有安全,没有维护,没有什么意味着它应该是真正安全的,但在离开它之前,芬兰需要与一件事作斗争——人性。作为好奇的人,很难抑制一个人的探索冲动。如果有人发现了一个数千年前的神秘结构,很自然就会想要打开它,这对核废料场来说是个问题。)”可知,作者对人类好奇心的担忧,可以推断出作者对芬兰的行动持支持的态度,但是,却因为人类的好奇而担忧是否能成功。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We essentially did just that with the pyramids in Egypt. These structures were built as the final, permanent resting places and we opened them up because we were curious. Opening the nuclear storage facilities would release radiation into a future civilization, so we have to tell them to leave the sites alone, but that’s easier said than done. (我们对埃及的金字塔就是这样做的。这些建筑是作为最终的,永久的休息场所,我们打开它们是因为我们很好奇。打开核储存设施会将辐射释放到未来的文明中,所以我们必须告诉他们不要打扰这些地方,但这说起来容易做起来难。)”可知,作者提到埃及的金字塔是为了说明人们会因好奇心而打开被视为永久安息之地的结构,从而推断提到金字塔是为了强调作者对核废料储存场所的担忧。故选C。
C
It was a quiet morning in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a rather loud chat. Suddenly, a patron (常客) marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush!” and went back to her seat. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a patron! Shouldn’t it be the other way around
Well, it’s complicated. If you’re like me, a middle-aged woman, you probably remember libraries as places of silent reading. These days, however, libraries are more like active community centers.
In the past, most libraries didn’t focus much on programs for kids whose age made it impossible for them to be quiet on demand. But growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how libraries connect with young readers. Now libraries begin offering interactive programs for kids, including crafts, board games, and story times. These types of programs certainly aren’t designed to be silent.
Along with more programs for ever-younger children, technology today has played a part in the transformation of libraries into places where both kids and adults can use computers, make something on a 3D printer and more. In addition, many libraries now offer programs for adults, who can participate in in book discussion, learn calligraphy, and even take college classes.
Of course, libraries still need peaceful phones. These days, many libraries have glassed-off study rooms or quiet areas. They are also less noisy in the early afternoons, after morning children’s programs and before the after-school kid crowd arrive.
It’s clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a patron, we should have been using our “library voices” as we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There’s just too much fun and learning happening.
8. How did the author respond to the patron’s behavior
A. She approved of it. B. She was disappointed at it.
C. She hesitated about it. D. She was astonished at it.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The past and the present of libraries. B. The reason for the change of libraries.
C. The activities for young children in libraries. D. The connection between libraries and readers.
10. What can we learn about today’s libraries
A. They heavily depend on technology. B. They offer online programs for adults.
C. They still provide silent reading places. D. They care much about time arrangement.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Libraries Should be Loud B. Reading Can be Fun in Libraries
C. Libraries Make Learning Happen D. Library Programs Target Children
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章就现在图书馆提出自己观点——图书馆应是一个热闹的地方。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“It was a quiet morning in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a rather loud chat. Suddenly, a patron (常客) marched up to us, gave us an annoyed ‘Shush!’ and went back to her seat. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a patron! Shouldn’t it be the other way around (那是图书馆里一个安静的早晨,我们图书管理员正在享受着一段相当大声的聊天。突然,一位常客走到我们面前,生气地对我们说了一声‘嘘!’,然后回到她的座位上。一群图书管理员被一位常客嘘了,这真奇怪!不是应该反过来吗?)”可知,作者对常客的行为感觉很吃惊。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第三段“In the past, most libraries didn’t focus much on programs for kids whose age made it impossible for them to be quiet on demand. But growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how libraries connect with young readers. Now libraries begin offering interactive programs for kids, including crafts, board games, and story times. These types of programs certainly aren’t designed to be silent. (在过去,大多数图书馆都不太关注为孩子们提供的项目,因为孩子们的年龄使他们无法按需保持安静。但是,人们越来越了解儿童和青少年通过亲身体验学习的重要性,这导致图书馆与年轻读者的联系发生了翻天覆地的变化。现在,图书馆开始为孩子们提供互动节目,包括手工艺品、棋盘游戏和故事时间。这些类型的程序当然不是为了静音而设计的。)”可知,本段主要讲图书馆改变的原因。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第五段“These days, many libraries have glassed-off study rooms or quiet areas. They are also less noisy in the early afternoons, after morning children’s programs and before the after-school kid crowd arrive. (如今,许多图书馆都用玻璃隔开了自习室或安静的区域。他们在下午早些时候、上午的儿童节目之后和放学后的孩子们到来之前也不那么吵了。)”可知,今天的图书馆仍然提供安静的阅读场所。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“It’s clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a patron, we should have been using our ‘library voices’ as we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There’s just too much fun and learning happening. (现在我很清楚,在我和同事们被一位常客嘘的那天,我们应该在交谈时使用我们的‘图书馆声音’。尽管如此,图书馆不太可能再回到沉寂的时代。有太多的乐趣和学习正在发生。)”以及上文可知,本文主要讲图书馆不应该一如既往是一个安静的地方,而应该变得热闹起来。故选A项。
D
Most of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls ‘deliberate practice’: that is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real.
Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as’Big C’ and ‘small c’. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt.
Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.
Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.
12. Why does Ericsson think he can’t find the limits
A. No restrictions exist. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Each one can succeed. D. The goal is ambitious.
13. Which of the following is an example of ‘small c’
A. Settling in outer space.
B. Building a plastic doghouse.
C. Developing robots to look after the old.
D. Explaining the theory of evolution in class.
14. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Justify. B. Limit. C. Copy. D. Assess.
15 What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. We can learn to be more creative.
B. Life is full of various challenges.
C. It’s better to take deliberate practice.
D. Most can become creative geniuses.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是通过练习,我们可以提高我们的创造力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real. (他说他还没有找到成功的限制,他不相信这些限制是真的。)”可知,埃里克森认为他找不到极限是因为不存在任何限制。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. (小创造力指的是日常创造性地解决问题,比如创造一个新配方或改进一个过程,心理学家将其进一步细分为相似和不同的思维。)”可知,建一个塑料狗窝是“小c”的例子,因为这是创造一个新东西的过程,故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable. (通常情况下,我们倾向于复制我们已经知道的东西,因为创造性的想法会把我们带入一个充满风险的陌生领域,而遵循通常的行为是舒适的。)”可知,划线词所在句子的意思是“由于这种品质和这些过程已经被确定,缺乏创造力的人可以尝试模仿他们”,划线词的意思是“模仿,复制”,和copy意思相近,故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity. (走出我们的舒适区,进行不经意的练习,容忍矛盾的想法,风险和失败,这些都是我们可以学会做得更好的事情。这样做不太可能把我们中的任何一个人变成有创造力的天才,但它确实有可能提高我们的创造力水平。)”可知,本文主要讲的是通过练习,我们可以提高我们的创造力,因此本文主要想表达的是“我们可以学着更有创造力”。故选A。

【16题详解】
根据后文“when you are focused only on getting to the next meeting, starting your next class period, or hurrying to send an email, you’re missing all of the people between Points A and B.(当你只想着参加下一个会议,开始下一节课,或者赶着发邮件时,你就会错过A点和B点之间的所有人)”可知,此处强调在人生的旅途中,如果只想着参加下一个会议,开始下一节课,或者赶着发邮件,你会错过很多东西。前文应该指出要避免这样的行为应该怎样做。G选项“To become socially aware, remember to enjoy the journey and notice people along the way.(要有社会意识,记得享受旅程,注意沿途的人)”指出,避免错过人生旅途中的风景就要有社会意识,享受旅程,注意沿途的人,符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“To commit some time to the journey, take some time to walk around where you work and notice your surroundings. (为了在旅途中花点时间,花点时间在你工作的地方走走,注意一下周围的环境)”可知,此处强调在人生旅途中要花点时间在你工作的地方走走,注意一下周围的环境。后文应该指出这样做带来的好处。F选项“Going on a short tour will help you get in tune with other people and their emotions.(短暂的旅行将帮助你与他人和他们的情绪保持一致)”承接前文,指出花点时间在你工作的地方走走,注意一下周围的环境,将帮助你与他人和他们的情绪保持一致,符合语境。故选F。

【19题详解】
根据前文“Other people’s moods can provide you with critical clues about how things are going. (别人的情绪可以为你提供事情进展的关键线索)”可知,此处强调观察别人情绪可以为你提供事情进展的关键线索。C选项“Notice what people may be feeling when you drop by to talk briefly.(当你顺道拜访时,注意一下别人的感受)”承接前文,构成因果关系即因为观察别人情绪可以为你提供事情进展的关键线索,所以当你顺道拜访时,注意一下别人的感受。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Schedule 15 minutes to tour your workplace twice a week for a month and be sure to avoid making too many assumptions or conclusions — just simply observe.(在一个月的时间里,每周安排两次15分钟参观你的工作场所,确保不要做太多的假设或结论——只是简单地观察)”可知,此处强调在一个月的时间里,每周安排两次15分钟参观你的工作场所,后文应该提出这样做的结果和影响。A选项“You’ll be amazed at what you see along the way.(你会惊讶于你一路上所看到的)”承接前文,指出每周安排两次15分钟参观你的工作场所,则你会惊讶于你一路上所看到的,A选项符合语境。故选A。

Dear Rebecca,
Knowing that you are heading back to Britain very soon, I hate to say that parting is truly hard. But I am delighted that you have enjoyed yourself here and grown attached to Chinese culture.
As a small token of appreciation, I picked a Chinese painting for you, on which is a pair of chopsticks. Spanning thousands of years, chopsticks are a kind of tableware with distinct national features, being an important component that fully reflects the intelligence of Chinese people. They always come in a pair and look identical. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, good things come in pairs. Chopsticks embody the beauty of symmetry and harmony of relationships.
Hope you will like the little gift. Wish you a pleasant journey home. Keep in touch.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Mrs. Riley and I always shout at each other. I shout because she can’t hear me, and she shouts because she can’t hear herself. “What do you need from the store ” I’ll yell. “Bananas,” she’ll yell back.
You don’t realize what a funny word bananas is until you hear it shouted by an eighty-year-old woman. I work for Mrs. Riley. I buy groceries for her at the supermarket on Nostrand Avenue, and sometimes I dust and sweep her apartment. The best part, though, is taking care of Sam. Sam is Mrs. Riley’s canary(金丝雀). He’s bright yellow, and he sings all the time. That’s one thing about canaries. They’re always cheerful. That’s what I’m saving my money for. I’m going to buy a canary. And besides the canary, I have to get a cage and swings and toys and food.
“Do you have enough money yet, girl ” Mrs. Riley always shouts at me. “Not yet,” I shout back. “Soon.” And she always calls me girl, not Carla. Sometimes I think she doesn’t remember my name.
Anyway, one day I ran upstairs to Mrs. Riley’s. She leaves the door unlocked when she knows I’m coming. She wasn’t in her usual place by the window. She was in bed. “Are you sick ” I shouted. “Yes, girl. You can’t work for me anymore,”Mrs. Riley said. She coughed. “I have to take medicine, and it costs a lot. I can’t pay you.”
I felt sick to my stomach. How would I find another job I went over and stuck my finger in Sam’s cage. He hopped on his swing and chirped hello. Then I turned and left.
That night at dinner I couldn’t eat. “You’ll find another job,” Mom said, sitting back in her chair. “I feel sorry for her, Carla. She’s so alone up there.” Then Mom leaned over and gave me a hug. “I’m glad we have each other,” she said. Mom always makes me feel better. I was able to eat after all.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
However, that night I kept thinking about my canary and Mrs. Riley. It wasn’t fair that Mrs. Riley had to get sick. How would I buy a canary of my own Then I thought about what Mom had said. Mrs. Riley was more alone than I was. At least I had Mom. Mrs. Riley only had Sam. How would she get things from the store without me All these thoughts haunted me the whole night. The next day I ran upstairs with a bag of groceries. Mrs. Riley was still in bed. I emptied the bag, put the milk in the tiny refrigerator, and then began dusting around. Sam hopped on his swing as I dusted the top of his cage.
Paragraph 2:
After one week, she said, “I’ve been thinking, girl, since I can’t pay you, I’ll-I’ll give you Sam.” My breath caught in my throat. I couldn’t believe it. Sam. All mine. Sam looked at me. He chirped, as if to say, “Well ” I considered it. Someday I’d have enough money to buy a canary of my own. But Mrs. Riley would never get another one. Plus, if I took Sam, Mrs. Riley would be all alone. Could I take him Sam waited. Mrs. Riley waited. “I can’t take Sam,” I said. “He belongs to you. And I’ll keep working for you. You don’t have to pay me.” This time Mrs. Riley heard me, without my shouting.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者一直在为八十多岁的Riley太太工作,照顾她的日常生活。Riley太太有一只美丽的金丝雀Sam,是作者梦寐以求的,作者也在为了今后买一只自己的金丝雀而努力存钱。有一天,Riley太太生病了,她提出无法负担作者的工资,不再需要她为她工作了,作者为此辗转反侧,但是第二天仍然去照顾Riley太太。于是,Riley提出可以用Sam作为工资支付给她。作者虽然很心动,但考虑到Riley孤单一人,无人照料,拒绝了Riley的提议,不仅没有带走Sam,还无偿地一直既往地为Riley太太工作。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然而,那天晚上我一直想着我的金丝雀和Riley太太。”可知,第一段可描写作者晚上的思想活动,最终她第二天又一如既往地去了Riley太太家工作。
②由第二段首句内容“一个星期后,她说:“我一直在想,姑娘,既然我付不起钱,我就把Sam给你吧。””可知,第二段可描写作者考虑是否带走Sam的思想过程,以及最终作出的决定。
2. 续写线索:整晚的思想活动——第二天仍去Riley太太那里工作——Riley提出用Sam抵工资——矛盾的心理描写——最终决定——与故事开头呼应。
3. 词汇激活:
行为类:
①生病:get sick/be ill
②放置:put/place
③相信:believe/trust
④喊叫:shout/yell
情绪类:
公平的:fair/just

Including implant, abutment and crown. *Due date: 03/31/24. Cannot be combined with insurance fees or other coupons. New patients only. NOW SERVING YOU IN THREE LOCATIONS! IRVINE: 39 Creek Road, Suite 210 LAGUNA NIGUEL: 30012 Crown Valley Pkwy, STEB Unlike traditional artificial teeth, which are removable, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and then topped with a restoration such as a dental crown. They feel much more natural than conventional alternatives. Additionally, dental implants can help to prevent bone deterioration(退化)that is caused by missing teeth. The bone begins to deteriorate when you lose a tooth because it is no longer being stimulated daily. This can lead to severe bone loss over time. But by placing dental implants into the jawbone, we can preserve this structure. If you’re missing one, two, or all of your teeth, we encourage you to visit our new office in Long Beach, or call(949)857-6757 to schedule your appointment. We would be happy to help you find the best treatment plan to restore your smile and help you enjoy better oral health soon!

Nuclear energy is one of the cleanest power on earth. It is cleaner than any energy source except wind. But that doesn’t necessarily mean nuclear is the long-term solution for the world because nuclear material is perhaps the most poisonous matter on earth. In addition, uranium, the element most commonly used in nuclear reactors, is not in limitless supply. But the biggest problem is nuclear waste.
How can we deal with nuclear waste The answer is simple—put them somewhere where they can stay, undisturbed, isolated, forever. Finland is building just that. This region is largely lacking in natural disasters. It really doesn’t encounter any natural phenomenon that could damage a nuclear waste storage site, especially if it’s 1, 500 feet underground. Beneath an island on the Finnish Baltic Sea coast, the country is digging. They’ re building the very first permanent nuclear waste storage facility in the world in the stable bedrock 1,500 feet below.
Currently they’ re just finishing their dig down, then very soon they’ll start filling the facility with nuclear waste. They’ll dig long tunnels with small holes in which they’ll place nuclear waste then backfill the tunnels with clay to be left forever.
With this system, there’s near zero risk of nuclear material leaking out into the groundwater and, once it’s filled in the year 2120, it can just be left, forever. Because the material will be so far down and so difficult to get to, no human management will be necessary once completed.
No security, no maintenance, nothing which means it should be truly secure, but before leaving it, Finland needs to fight against one thing—human nature. As curious beings, it’s hard to fight a person’s urge of discovery. If someone finds a mysterious structure from thousands of years ago, it’d just be natural to want to open it up, and that’s a problem for nuclear waste sites.
We essentially did just that with the pyramids in Egypt. These structures were built as the final, permanent resting places and we opened them up because we were curious. Opening the nuclear storage facilities would release radiation into a future civilization, so we have to tell them to leave the sites alone, but that’s easier said than done.

A. The tunnels there are easy to dig. B. The supply of uranium is limited.
C. Modern technology makes it possible. D. No natural disaster can influence the site.
5. What human nature does the author worry about
A. Being curious. B. A desire for security.
C. Being adventurous. D. A desire for control.
6. What is the author’s attitude toward Finland’s action
A. Supportive. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic.
7. Why are the pyramids in Egypt mentioned

C
It was a quiet morning in the library and we librarians were enjoying a rather loud chat. Suddenly, a patron (常客) marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush!” and went back to her seat. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a patron! Shouldn’t it be the other way around
Well, it’s complicated. If you’re like me, a middle-aged woman, you probably remember libraries as places of silent reading. These days, however, libraries are more like active community centers.
In the past, most libraries didn’t focus much on programs for kids whose age made it impossible for them to be quiet on demand. But growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how libraries connect with young readers. Now libraries begin offering interactive programs for kids, including crafts, board games, and story times. These types of programs certainly aren’t designed to be silent.
Along with more programs for ever-younger children, technology today has played a part in the transformation of libraries into places where both kids and adults can use computers, make something on a 3D printer and more. In addition, many libraries now offer programs for adults, who can participate in in book discussion, learn calligraphy, and even take college classes.
Of course, libraries still need peaceful phones. These days, many libraries have glassed-off study rooms or quiet areas. They are also less noisy in the early afternoons, after morning children’s programs and before the after-school kid crowd arrive.
It’s clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a patron, we should have been using our “library voices” as we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There’s just too much fun and learning happening.
8. How did the author respond to the patron’s behavior
A. She approved of it. B. She was disappointed at it.
C. She hesitated about it. D. She was astonished at it.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The past and the present of libraries. B. The reason for the change of libraries.
C. The activities for young children in libraries. D. The connection between libraries and readers.
10. What can we learn about today’s libraries
A. They heavily depend on technology. B. They offer online programs for adults.
C. They still provide silent reading places. D. They care much about time arrangement.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Libraries Should be Loud B. Reading Can be Fun in Libraries
C. Libraries Make Learning Happen D. Library Programs Target Children
D
Most of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls ‘deliberate practice’: that is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real.
Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as’Big C’ and ‘small c’. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt.
Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.
Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.
12. Why does Ericsson think he can’t find the limits
A. No restrictions exist. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Each one can succeed. D. The goal is ambitious.
13. Which of the following is an example of ‘small c’
A. Settling in outer space.
B. Building a plastic doghouse.
C. Developing robots to look after the old.
D. Explaining the theory of evolution in class.
14. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Justify. B. Limit. C. Copy. D. Assess.
15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. We can learn to be more creative.
B. Life is full of various challenges.
C. It’s better to take deliberate practice.
D. Most can become creative geniuses.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Mrs. Riley and I always shout at each other. I shout because she can’t hear me, and she shouts because she can’t hear herself. “What do you need from the store ” I’ll yell. “Bananas,” she’ll yell back.
You don’t realize what a funny word bananas is until you hear it shouted by an eighty-year-old woman. I work for Mrs. Riley. I buy groceries for her at the supermarket on Nostrand Avenue, and sometimes I dust and sweep her apartment. The best part, though, is taking care of Sam. Sam is Mrs. Riley’s canary(金丝雀). He’s bright yellow, and he sings all the time. That’s one thing about canaries. They’re always cheerful. That’s what I’m saving my money for. I’m going to buy a canary. And besides the canary, I have to get a cage and swings and toys and food.
“Do you have enough money yet, girl ” Mrs. Riley always shouts at me. “Not yet,” I shout back. “Soon.” And she always calls me girl, not Carla. Sometimes I think she doesn’t remember my name.
Anyway, one day I ran upstairs to Mrs. Riley’s. She leaves the door unlocked when she knows I’m coming. She wasn’t in her usual place by the window. She was in bed. “Are you sick ” I shouted. “Yes, girl. You can’t work for me anymore,”Mrs. Riley said. She coughed. “I have to take medicine, and it costs a lot. I can’t pay you.”
I felt sick to my stomach. How would I find another job I went over and stuck my finger in Sam’s cage. He hopped on his swing and chirped hello. Then I turned and left.
That night at dinner I couldn’t eat. “You’ll find another job,” Mom said, sitting back in her chair. “I feel sorry for her, Carla. She’s so alone up there.” Then Mom leaned over and gave me a hug. “I’m glad we have each other,” she said. Mom always makes me feel better. I was able to eat after all.
