A website.BKarambelas, a junior at Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, started a Permaculture （永续栽培）Club at school this year to make her fellow students more aware of ways to grow food "in harmony with nature", and chose the aquaponics（鱼菜共生）project as a way to promote the message.With Garcia's help, they completed the project on a weekend, building a handsome two-tiered, 4-by-8-foot redwood structure in one of the school's courtyards that would easily fit in a front yard, a patio（露台）or even a balcony.Many of the materials were donated, Karambelas said, but it would have cost her about$1,500 to build the structure at full price. The materials included 26 redwood boards, pond liners, Arglite Smart Gravel-lightweight nuggets made from recycled food-safe plastics-PVC pipes, 40 small goldfish and an Oase AquaMax Eco Classic 3600 pump, which Garcia recommended because of its low energy use.The lower box is covered with a pond liner, filled with water and the little fish. Garcia helped install the pump, which pushes the water from the fish tier to the vegetables planted in Smart Gravel above. The constantly recycling water drenches （使湿透）the planting boxes, and the run-off drips back into the fish tank, keeping the water aerated（使透气）.Students' response has been positive, Karambelas said, and she's hoping the project can create enough interest to attract more members to her new club next year.24. What did the aquaponics project aim to show?A. Humans rely on nature for food.B. Food should be grown in an organic way.C. Students should show more interest in nature.D. Creative ways should be applied in agriculture.25. Which aspect might Karambelas focus on when selecting the materials of the tank?A. How much they cost.B. Where they are from.C. What they are made of.D. Whether they are environmentally friendly26. What can be inferred about the project?A. The project made full use of water.B. Garcia built the project on her own.C. The material cost Garcia about $1,500.D. The tank can produce water automatically.27. What does Karambelas expect to get from the project?A. More club members.B. Much financial support.C. Chances of being famous.D. Knowledge about nature.CSelf-regulation, i.e., the ability to manage attention, emotions and impulses, as well as topursue individual goals with perseverance, is not a skill that we usually associate with young children. However, studies show that people who demonstrated self-regulation as children go on to have on average higher income, better health and greater life satisfaction.An international team used a randomized controlled study in elementary schools involving more than 500 first graders. The research team was able to show that even a short training unit led to a significant and sustainable improvement in self-regulation. The training did not just affect self-regulation abilities; the children had significantly improved reading ability and an improved focus on careless mistakes one year after the training, and were also considerably more likely to be admitted to a selective academic secondary school three years after the training.The training units were based on the MCII （Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions）Strategy, which has already been the subject of excellent research studies in adults and older students. The teachers presented the abstract strategy in a playful manner using a picture book and the role model of a hurdle jumper. In the first step, the children imagined the positive effects of reaching a goal. They contrasted them with the obstacles that they might face on the way （Mental Contrasting）. The children then identified specific behaviors to face the obstacles and develop "when-then" plans（Implementation Intentions）."The special feature of the study is the long-term ripple effects that this short training unit can have. These effects benefit the child, and they are transferred in many ways to society as a whole over the course of the child's life," says Daniel Schunk, a professor of public and behavioral economics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. "The fact that early investments in such fundamental skills not only benefit the child alone, but also society, should be given more attention to in education policy."8. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. Children have no self-regulation ability.B. Perseverance is the key to one's success.C. Rich people are more likely to regulate themselves.D. Children with self-control will enjoy their lives later on.9. What may happen after children receive the training?A. They focus more on grades.B. They do better academically.C. They can write more efficiently.D. They make no careless mistakes.10. Why a picture book is used in the training?A. To attract more children to the training.B. To help promote children's imagination.C. To better teach children how to reach a goal.D. To make it easier for children to understand.11. What is Daniel Schunk's attitude to the study?A. Optimistic.B. Suspicious.C. Cautious.D. Ambiguous.DThe moon, which has experienced a distinct and complex geological history, presents a striking appearance. The moon may be divided into two major terrains: the Maria （dark lowlands）and the Terrace（bright highlands）. The contrast in the reflectivity （the capability of reflecting light）of these two terrains suggested to many early observers that the two terrains might have different compositions, and this assumption was confirmed by missions to the moon such as Surveyor and Apollo.One of the most obvious differences between the terrains is the smoothness of the Maria in contrast to the roughness of the Terrace. This roughness is mostly caused by the abundance of craters: the highlands are completely covered by large craters, while the craters of the lowlands tend to be much smaller. It is now known that the vast majority of the moon's craters were formed by the impact of solid bodies with the lunar surface.Most of the near side of the moon was thoroughly mapped and studied from telescopic pictures years before the age of space exploration. Earth-based telescopes can recognize objects as small as a few hundred meters on the lunar surface. Close observation of craters, combined with the way the moon diffusely reflects sunlight, led to the understanding that the moon is covered by a surface layer with strange, winding marks. Although various landforms were discovered, the majority of astronomers' attention was fixed on craters and their origins.Astronomers have known for a fairly long time that the shape of craters changes as they increase in size. Small craters have relatively simple shapes. They have round-edged tops that are raised above the surrounding terrain, smooth, bowl-shaped insides, and depths that are about one-sixth their diameters. The complexity of shape increases as for larger craters.32. Why are the Surveyor and Apollo missions mentioned?A. To confirm earlier theories about the moon's surface.B. To reveal that previous ideas about the moon's craters were unreasonable.C. To provide detailed information about the moon's surface.D. To identify how the moon's craters were made.33. The author mentions "strange, winding marks" in paragraph 3 as an example of ______.A. a characteristic of large cratersB. a discovery made through the use of Earth-based telescopesC. an aspect of the lunar surface discovered through lunar missionsD. features that astronomers observed to be common to the Earth and the moon34. What does the last paragraph probably continue with?A. The reasons craters are difficult to study.B. The different shapes small craters can have.C. The description of some features of large craters.D. Some difference in the ways small and large craters were formed.35. What does the text mainly discuss?A. The aim of the Surveyor and Apollo space missions.B. Characteristics of the major terrains of the moon.C. The origin of the moon's craters.D. Techniques used to discover the moon's landforms.第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
