2．In 2018，Danika Whitsett was attending college when she got into a car accident that left her unable to move from the waist down.She was asleep in the SUV she was riding in when the driver lost control and the car rolled just outside of Phoenix，Arizona.At the time，Whitsett said she felt lucky to be alive after being told that only 20% of people survived during the accident.
She learned to use a wheelchair，which she is expected to be in for the rest of her life.Whitsett has been using the same wheelchair since 2018，and sadly，it has fallen into disrepair.The wheels have curved inwards toward her body，leaving open wounds on both of her upper legs.Whitsett is in the process of getting a new wheelchair hut found out that even with her insurance，the cost would be ﹩5，200，which is a cost she cannot afford.
So Whitsett unwillingly posted a video on the social media platform TikTok，tearfully sharing her situation with the world. "I desperately need this new chair and I hate ever asking for help or for money but I know sometimes it's our only option，" wept Whitsett.
"All the while I am trying to save money for my new chair so that I can actually be as independent as possible and it is much needed.Anything helps — literally ﹩1 would mean the world to me.Thank you guys for your continuous patronage.I'm so appreciative of you all and I love you guys，thank you."
Her story quickly spread and she raised the entire ﹩5，000 in just a day!But thanks to the kindness of strangers，the donations have continued rolling in，and have now climbed to almost ﹩22，000.

3．To adapt to climate change，some flowers are darkening their color to protect themselves from the sun's radiation，new research shows.
The study suggests that over the past 75 years，the ultraviolet （UV） pigments （紫外線色素） in flowers have increased in response to rising temperatures and a thinning ozone layer （臭氧層）.The flowers won't look any different to humans，but insects consider the higher levels of UV pigments as a darker color，which could be confusing when they try to find out colorful flowers to land on.
The UV-absorbing pigments in flowers work like sunscreen and protect sensitive cells from harmful radiation，Matthew Koski，a plant ecologist at Clemson University，says.He and his team hoped to determine if changes in pigments were a result of environmental change — and if so，what are the plants responding to？
The team collected dried，pressed plants across North America，Australia，and Europe.In total，they studied 1，238 samples from 42 different species dating back to 1941.Then，using a UV-sensitive camera，they photographed flower petals from each species to see how the pigment level changed over time.Next，they paired the photographs with historic local temperature and ozone level data from the time the plant was picked.
The researchers found that the changes in pigments differ by species，a result of the flower's structure.Flowers with open，exposed pollen （花粉） had more UV-absorbing pigments when ozone levels were low and radiation was high.But flowers with pollen surrounded by the petal responded to temperature，not ozone levels.
As climate change continues to intensify，these changes in flowers' color can affect plant-insect interactions.When the whole flowers get darker，insects might miss the flowers entirely. "This has a negative influence on plant reproduction." Koski says.
（1）What is the cause of flowers' color changing according to the research？
A．The impact of climate crisis.
B．The loss of natural habitats.
C．The harm of nuclear radiation.
D．The thickening of ozone layer.
（2）What are Koski's findings based on？
A．Photographs of flowers from different species.
B．Analysis of how levels of UV pigments change over time.
C．Collection of abundant samples from various species.
D．Historic local temperature and ozone level database.
（3）What can we learn about the change in pigments？
A．It exists in flowers with exposed pollen only.
B．It responds to temperature and sea levels.
C．It remains the same regardless of species.
D．It varies depending on the flower's structure.
（4）What is Koski's attitude towards the change in flowers' color？
A．Concerned.
B．Indifferent.
C．Unclear.
D．Optimistic.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.3

9． I sat next to my new friend Karina on the first day of the summer camp. "You like banana chips？" she said in a surprised voice. "They're my favorite snack，but I don't know any other kids who eat them." "My aunt brought some the last time she visited，and I've been craving （渴望） them ever since，" I said.It was then that I knew that Karina and I were meant to be friends forever.
Whenever we got to pick a partner at camp，we picked each other.Whenever we had a break，we hung out together.And the more time we spent together，the more we realized how amazingly alike we jye.aire.We both had two adorable cats，we both had awesome younger siblings，we both liked baking extra-creative cookies，and we both had the same favorite song.
But then something happened.The summer camp was next to a piece of beautiful land that had a bunch of giant old trees on it.Whenever it was nice out，we'd get to eat our lunch at picnic tables that were right by some of those trees.
Karina surprisingly spotted zillions of holes all the way up and clown a trunk one day.The discovery attracted our interest and we were curious about how in the world they got there.Our friend LeVar explained to us that a special kind of wood keeper makes those holes to store acorns （橡子）.We were astonished by the cool fact，making a decision to keep this magical forest as clean and perfect as it was when we got here.
"Hey，have you guys heard that shopping mall rumor？" LeVar said suddenly.That's when things got complicated.
"Yeah，" said Karina. "They want to cut down a bunch of those trees to make room for a shopping center."
"That's terrible!" I said. "We have to stop that."
"I disagree，" argued Karina. "My parents said the shopping center would make new jobs for people who really need work."
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置處作答。
