Here are some children’s books about space and the solar system. Mae among the Stars by Stasia Burrington This beautifully illustrated picture book is attractive to young kids. It was inspired by the first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison. It tells the story of Mae as a little girl, who always knew she had big dreams about space. This is a great addition to a young kid’s collection, as a reminder to hold tight to dreams and never give up. Space by Libby Jackson This beautifully illustrated book gives kids a look at 50 women from around the world who were involved in exploring space in some way, from the 19th century to the present day. This is a perfect gift for young kids who want to know more about some of the lesser-known scientific achievements related to space exploration. Chasing Space by Leland Melvin This is Melvin’s story about being a football player-turned-astronaut, along with his recovery from an injury that nearly left him deaf. Kids will love reading his story about how he faced challenges and advanced ahead, and he also includes DIY experiments for kids to try, and a section of full-color photographs. System and Beyond by David A. Aguilar The book is full of beautiful illustrations of space, and is perfect for kids of all ages, exploring various planets and the solar system. Unlike other kids’ space book, this is a National Geographic book written and illustrated by an award-winning astronomer and space artist. Aguilar is also the former Director of Science Information and Public Outreach at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. 1. What do Mae among the Stars and Space have in common? A. They include less-known astronauts. B. They tell about scientists’ childhood. C. They cover women exploring space. D. They are suitable for children of all ages. 2. Whose book attracts children showing interest in experiments? A. Stasia Burrington’s. B. Libby Jackson’s. C. Leland Melvin’s. D. David A. Aguilar’s. 3. What is unique to System and Beyond? A. It has beautiful pictures. B. It tells about space artists. C. It has won many grand awards. D. It was written by an astronomer. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本关于太空和太阳系的儿童读物。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Mae among the Stars by Stasia Burrington的第二、三句“It was inspired by the first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison. It tells the story of Mae as a little girl, who always knew she had big dreams about space. (它的灵感来自第一位进入太空的非裔美国女性梅·杰米森。它讲述了梅作为一个小女孩的故事，她一直知道她对太空有很大的梦想。)”，而Space by Libby Jackson的第一句“This beautifully illustrated book gives kids a look at 50 women from around the world who were involved in exploring space in some way, from the 19th century to the present day. (这本精美的插图书让孩子们看到了从19世纪到现在，来自世界各地的50位女性，她们以某种方式参与了太空探索。)”可知，《星际漫游》和《太空漫游》的共同之处是：它们都涉及到那些探索太空的女性。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Chasing Space by Leland Melvin的“Kids will love reading his story about how he faced challenges and advanced ahead, and he also includes DIY experiments for kids to try, and a section of full-color photographs. (孩子们会喜欢读他关于他如何面对挑战和前进的故事，他还包括DIY实验供孩子们尝试，以及一组全彩照片。)”可知，对实验感兴趣的孩子会被Leland Melvin的书吸引。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据System and Beyond by David A. Aguilar的“Unlike other kids’ space book, this is a National Geographic book written and illustrated by an award-winning astronomer and space artist. Aguilar is also the former Director of Science Information and Public Outreach at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. (与其他儿童太空书不同，这是一本由获奖的天文学家和太空艺术家撰写和插图的国家地理书。阿吉拉尔还是哈佛-史密森天体物理中心的前科学信息和公共宣传主任。)”可知，这本《系统及其他》与其他读物的不同之处是作者本人的身份是天文学家，能为读者提供专家的观点和对主题的见解。故选D项。 B It is no secret that China has an amazingly rich history and culture. My first exposure (接触) to Chinese culture came totally by chance. One day, I entered my grandfather’s personal library and took a book named Tao Te Ching (道德经) from one of the shelves. As an 8-year-old, the book’s content completely confused me, but it provided me with an early connection to a beautiful and great philosophical (哲学的) tradition that still influences me today. Around this time, I also came across several cartoons heavily inspired by traditional Chinese culture and martial arts (武术) such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat. Both cartoons (卡通) describe beautiful landscapes and buildings similar to those found in classical Chinese paintings. This further developed my interest of the rich and beautiful culture. At school I began studying Chinese. My interest in the language developed early on, combining my love of travelling with my love of meeting new people. Later on, my interest in the language developed into exploring widespread Chinese culture. I wanted to challenge myself in a totally new linguistic (语言的) surroundings and listen to the lives and stories of others in their own language. I have been lucky enough to have lived in China for around three years. I loved every second I spent there and there is never a shortage of things to see and do, people to meet, and foods to enjoy. It is safe to say that my journey to studying Chinese has only just begun and these first steps are only a drop in the ocean of lifelong learning, but as the Chinese philosopher Laozi says, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” 4. How does the author like the book Tao Te Ching? A. It encourages him to go to the library. B. It improves his habits. C. It has a long-lasting influence on him. D. It makes him know his grandfather better. 5. What makes the author more interested in Chinese culture? A. Watching some cartoons. B. Describing Chinese paintings. C. Living abroad for long. D. Cooking Chinese food. 6. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Chinese culture differs greatly from others’. B. Travelling takes up much of the author’s time. C. The author keeps a diary every day when he lived in China. D. The author learns languages in real surroundings. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. My Grandpa’s Influence on Me B. My Exploration of Chinese Culture C. My Travel Diary in China D. My Exposure to Language 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者接触、了解并学习中国文化的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As an 8-year-old, the book’s content completely confused me, but it provided me with an early connection to a beautiful and great philosophical (哲学的) tradition that still influences me today. (作为一个8岁的孩子，这本书的内容让我完全困惑，但它让我与一个美丽而伟大的哲学传统有了早期的联系，这个传统至今仍在影响着我)”可知，作者认为《道德经》这本书对他产生了持久的影响。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Around this time, I also came across several cartoons heavily inspired by traditional Chinese culture and martial arts (武术) such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat. Both cartoons (卡通) describe beautiful landscapes and buildings similar to those found in classical Chinese paintings. This further developed my interest of the rich and beautiful culture. (在这个时候，我还看到了几部深受中国传统文化和武术启发的漫画，比如《降世神通：最后的气宗》和《中国暹罗猫》。这两幅漫画都描绘了与中国古典绘画相似的美丽风景和建筑。这进一步培养了我对丰富而美丽的文化的兴趣)”可知，观看一些漫画让作者对中国文化更感兴趣。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I wanted to challenge myself in a totally new linguistic (语言的) surroundings and listen to the lives and stories of others in their own language. I have been lucky enough to have lived in China for around three years. I loved every second I spent there and there is never a shortage of things to see and do, people to meet, and foods to enjoy. (我想在一个全新的语言环境中挑战自己，用他们自己的语言倾听别人的生活和故事。我很幸运在中国生活了大约三年。我喜欢我在那里度过的每一秒，那里从不缺少要看和做的事情，要认识的人，要享受的食物)”可知，作者在真实的环境中学习中文。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is no secret that China has an amazingly rich history and culture. My first exposure (接触) to Chinese culture came totally by chance. (众所周知，中国有着惊人丰富的历史和文化。我第一次接触中国文化完全是偶然的)”及下文提及作者读《道德经》、观看漫画及在中国学习期间的经历可知，本文讲述了作者接触、了解并学习中国文化的经历。B选项“我对中国文化的探索”适合作为本文标题。故选B。 C In the northernmost edge of Colombia sits the coastal town of Acandí. Access to the town is only by water or air; there is no road that leads there. The residents there are faced with the struggles of balancing livelihoods while protecting biodiversity. In the past, traditional community fishing methods, passed down by the elders, focused on the reasonable fishing and management of resources. However, the introduction of large-scale trawling vessels(拖网渔船) decades ago gradually depleted the area’s fishing resources, leading to damage to marine(海洋的) life seriously. Jesús Antonio Julio Cuestas, who serves in the region’s conservation and management of marine resources, stresses the bad impact of these developments and calls for new fishing techniques. “Fishing and conservation co-exist as long as we have good management practices and reasonable use of our fishing resources,” says Cuestas. He and other officials actively monitor fishing activities in Acandí. Each morning, they visit the fish markets to gather data on fishery resources—including prices and sizes—to monitor the state of the local fishing industry. Along with Cuestas, the fishers work to reduce their impact on the marine ecosystem. By changing fishing methods and adopting new practices, they aim for a more balanced approach to fishing. “This year the local fishermen have not used the trawl net s that were causing the death of the leatherback sea turtles,” explains Cuestas proudly. Changes include the efforts of boats to protect the seagrass that serves as feeding grounds for marine life and an end to fishers throwing net s where turtles lay their eggs. This marine reserve in Acandí, Cuestas believes, is their greatest treasure. He attaches great importance to working together with local residents to improve the quality of life while preserving the marine ecosystem. By doing so, he imagines a picture where individuals from the fishing community can pursue various careers, such as engineers or lawyers, proudly stating that they are the products of the fishing tradition in Acandí. 8. What does the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Reused. B. Restored. C. Explored. D. Reduced. 9. Why does Julio Cuestas call for new fishing techniques? A. To cut down on the costs of fishing. B. To improve the income of local residents. C. To promote the well-being of marine wildlife. D. To spread traditional community fishing methods. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The aim of the changes to fishing methods. B. The efforts to preserve marine ecosystem. C. The results the trawl net s have brought about. D. The impact of fishers on the local environment. 11. What is Julio Cuestas’s attitude towards Acandí’s future? A. Confident. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是哥伦比亚最北部的沿海小镇Acandí，该地的居民在保护生物多样性的同时努力平衡生计。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“In the past, traditional community fishing methods, passed down by the elders, focused on the reasonable fishing and management of resources.(在过去，传统的社区捕鱼方法是由长辈传下来的，注重合理捕捞和资源管理。)”同时根据划线词后面的内容“leading to damage to marine(海洋的) life seriously.(导致海洋生物严重受损。)”可知，传统的社区捕鱼方法是注重合理捕捞和资源管理的，可是拖网渔船的捕捞方式导致海洋生物严重受损，前后构成转折关系，故这种捕捞方式导致海洋捕鱼资源不断减少。故划线词与D选项“Reduced.(减少)”为同义词。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, the introduction of large-scale trawling vessels(拖网渔船) decades ago gradually depleted the area’s fishing resources, leading to damage to marine(海洋的) life seriously.( 然而，几十年前引进的大型拖网渔船逐渐耗尽了该地区的渔业资源，导致海洋生物受到严重破坏。)”以及第三段中“Jesús Antonio Julio Cuestas, who serves in the region’s conservation and management of marine resources, stresses the bad impact of these developments and calls for new fishing techniques.( Jesús负责该地区海洋资源保护和管理的Antonio Julio Cuestas强调了这些发展的不良影响，并呼吁采用新的捕鱼技术。)”可知，因为Jesús注意到了这种捕捞方式对海洋野生动物带来了消极的影响，因此为了促进海洋野生动物的繁荣，其呼吁使用新的捕捞技术。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Along with Cuestas, the fishers work to reduce their impact on the marine ecosystem. By changing fishing methods and adopting new practices, they aim for a more balanced approach to fishing.(渔民们与Cuestas一起努力减少对海洋生态系统的影响。通过改变捕鱼方法和采用新的做法，他们的目标是实现更平衡的捕鱼方式。)”以及“Changes include the efforts of boats to protect the seagrass that serves as feeding grounds for marine life and an end to fishers throwing net s where turtles lay their eggs.(变化包括船只努力保护海草，海草是海洋生物的觅食地，渔民不再在海龟产卵的地方撒网。)”可知，本段主要介绍的是保护海洋生态系统，渔民们与Cuestas所做出的种种努力。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“By doing so, he imagines a picture where individuals from the fishing community can pursue various careers, such as engineers or lawyers, proudly stating that they are the products of the fishing tradition in Acandí.( 通过这样做，他想象了这样一幅画面：来自渔业社区的个人可以从事各种职业，比如工程师或律师，并自豪地宣称他们是Acandí渔业传统的产物。)”可知，Julio Cuestas认为，通过积极的努力以及与渔民的互相合作，渔业社区的个人可以追求各种职业，海洋生态系统也得到了保护，人们可以自豪地宣称他们是Acandí渔业传统的产物，因此Julio Cuestas对Acandí的未来是充满希望和信心的。故选A。 D Sponges (海绵) — is there anything they can’t do? For thousands of years, humans have used dried natural sponges to clean up, to paint and as containers to consume liquids like water or honey. Whether artificial or natural, sponges are great at collecting tiny pieces with their many small holes. Recently, researchers in China published a study describing their development of an artificial sponge that makes short work of removing microplastic pieces. The tests show that when a specially prepared plastic-filled solution (溶液) is pushed through one of their sponges, the sponge can remove microplastics and even smaller nanoplastics from the liquid. Researchers tried it in everything from tap water and seawater to soup from a local takeout spot. According to Guoqing Wang, a materials chemist at Ocean University of China and co-author of the paper, the sponge is adjustable. By adjusting the temperature, the sponge can be made to have more or fewer holes, which affects the size of the microplastic pieces collected. The sponge, if ever produced on an industrial scale, Wang says, could be used in wastewater treatment factories to remove microplastics from the water or in food production facilities to avoid polluting water. There are shortcomings to the sponge’s possible adoption, though. The sponge is made mostly from starch and gelatin (淀粉和明胶), which are important to the food industry, meaning that there could be intense competition for the key ingredients in the future. Besides, starch and gelatin are able to break down naturally and harmlessly. However, the process developed by Wang and his co-workers to make their sponge uses formaldehyde, a highly poisonous chemical, and there were small amounts of this in the sponge itself. When it comes to dealing with microplastic pollution in the ocean, Alice Horton at the United Kingdom’s National Oceanography Center says what she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably certain to fail. “I don’t think there is anything we can do on a large enough scale that will have any impact,” she says. “We have to stop them getting there in the first place.” 12. What special characteristic of the new sponges is shown during the tests? A. Their environmental friendliness. B. Their operability and low production costs. C. Their good performance in catching plastic pieces. D. Their possibility of helping break down microplastics. 13. What will be a possible problem if the new sponges are produced in large numbers? A. The high cost of recycling them. B. The poor quality of the products. C. A shortage of the raw material. D. A lack of skillful operators. 14. What’s Alice’s opinion in regard to removing plastic from the ocean? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Time and tide wait for no man. C. Many hands make light work. D. Prevention is better than cure. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To advertise a new sponge. B. To introduce a new invention. C. To stress the damage of plastic. D. To popularize the sponge’s usage. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发明了一种人造海绵，可以有效快速捕捉微塑料碎片。文章介绍了这种海绵的工作原理以及存在的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The tests show that when a specially prepared plastic-filled solution (溶液) is pushed through one of their sponges, the sponge can remove microplastics and even smaller nanoplastics from the liquid.(测试表明，当一种特殊制备的塑料填充溶液被推过他们的海绵时，海绵可以从液体中去除微塑料甚至更小的纳米塑料)”可知，在测试过程中，新海绵在捕捉塑料碎片方面性能良好。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The sponge is made mostly from starch and gelatin (淀粉和明胶), which are important to the food industry, meaning that there could be intense competition for the key ingredients in the future.(这种海绵主要由淀粉和明胶制成，这对食品工业很重要，这意味着未来对关键成分的争夺可能会很激烈)”可知，如果新海绵大量生产，可能会出现原料短缺。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““I don’t think there is anything we can do on a large enough scale that will have any impact,” she says. “We have to stop them getting there in the first place.”(她说：“我不认为我们能在足够大的范围内做任何事情，从而产生任何影响。我们必须从一开始就阻止他们到达那里。”)”可知，爱丽丝对认为海洋中清除塑料预防胜于治理。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Recently, researchers in China published a study describing their development of an artificial sponge that makes short work of removing microplastic pieces.(最近，中国的研究人员发表了一项研究，描述了他们开发的一种人造海绵，可以快速去除微塑料碎片)”结合文章主要介绍了研究人员发明了一种人造海绵，可以有效快速捕捉塑料片。文章介绍了这种海绵的工作原理以及存在的问题。可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一项新发明。故选B。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’re a teenager, you are in a very powerful position.

FOMO is fear of missing out on all the fun. ___19___ It’s important, though, to give up what you want now for what you want most. What you want now is to take the money you made at your summer job and go on Spring Break. What you want most is to graduate debt free or to be able to quit a job you hate because you have a big emergency fund to see you through to your next job. You may not like it when you’re eighteen. ___20___ A. Consult experts for advice. B. Seize chances to get educated. C And your money has a lot of it. D. But all of that will be true in time. E.

At the end of those 50 years, you will have $11,467.49. (让我们来看一个例子：在你的暑期工作结束时，你有1000美元。你以5%的回报率进行投资。50年后，你将拥有1146749美元。)”可知，C项(你的钱有很多时间。)承接上文，选项中it指的是time，下文举例说明了你的钱通过投资随着时间的推移可以带来额外的财富，故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文的“If you start the habit of saving money now, that habit will always be with you. Every dollar you get, whether it’s a gift, an allowance, or pay from a job, get into the habit of saving a part of it.

She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已为你写好。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she pushed the door open and entered the house, she found her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sunk down into the sofa. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks. At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, fatigued but relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’ arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” she expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently. It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible, but always surrounded us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了珍妮与母亲吵架而离家出走，在感到饥饿而没钱吃饭的时候，一个商贩给了她一碗面条，珍妮非常感动，觉得自己母亲非常的无情不关心她，而商贩的话让珍妮觉得自己对母亲太粗鲁了，于是下定决心回家向母亲道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“快到门口时，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny回家后的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时，妈妈回来了，轻轻地抚摸着她的头发，把她的思绪拉了回来。”可知，第二段可描写Jenny给妈妈道歉，母女俩和好的过程。 2. 续写线索：感到疲惫和伤心——想起争吵的场景——意识到妈妈在乎自己——感到惭愧——看见妈妈——扑进妈妈怀里——道歉和感谢——妈妈原谅Jenny 3. 词汇激活 行为类 出现在脑海：appear in one’s mind/come to one’s mind 流下：roll down/stream down 意识到：realize/be aware of 表达：express/convey 情绪类 难过的：sad/upset 感谢：gratitude/appreciation 疲惫的：tired/exhausted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.(运用了宾语从句、同位语从句和独立主格结构，其中第一个that引导宾语从句，第二个that引导同位语从句) 【高分句型2】It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible, but always surrounded us.

Here are some children’s books about space and the solar system. Mae among the Stars by Stasia Burrington This beautifully illustrated picture book is attractive to young kids. It was inspired by the first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison. It tells the story of Mae as a little girl, who always knew she had big dreams about space. This is a great addition to a young kid’s collection, as a reminder to hold tight to dreams and never give up. Space by Libby Jackson This beautifully illustrated book gives kids a look at 50 women from around the world who were involved in exploring space in some way, from the 19th century to the present day. This is a perfect gift for young kids who want to know more about some of the lesser-known scientific achievements related to space exploration. Chasing Space by Leland Melvin This is Melvin’s story about being a football player-turned-astronaut, along with his recovery from an injury that nearly left him deaf. Kids will love reading his story about how he faced challenges and advanced ahead, and he also includes DIY experiments for kids to try, and a section of full-color photographs. System and Beyond by David A. Aguilar The book is full of beautiful illustrations of space, and is perfect for kids of all ages, exploring various planets and the solar system. Unlike other kids’ space book, this is a National Geographic book written and illustrated by an award-winning astronomer and space artist. Aguilar is also the former Director of Science Information and Public Outreach at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. 1. What do Mae among the Stars and Space have in common? A. They include less-known astronauts. B. They tell about scientists’ childhood. C. They cover women exploring space. D. They are suitable for children of all ages. 2.

It has beautiful pictures. B. It tells about space artists. C. It has won many grand awards. D. It was written by an astronomer. B It is no secret that China has an amazingly rich history and culture. My first exposure (接触) to Chinese culture came totally by chance. One day, I entered my grandfather’s personal library and took a book named Tao Te Ching (道德经) from one of the shelves. As an 8-year-old, the book’s content completely confused me, but it provided me with an early connection to a beautiful and great philosophical (哲学的) tradition that still influences me today. Around this time, I also came across several cartoons heavily inspired by traditional Chinese culture and martial arts (武术) such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat. Both cartoons (卡通) describe beautiful landscapes and buildings similar to those found in classical Chinese paintings. This further developed my interest of the rich and beautiful culture. At school I began studying Chinese. My interest in the language developed early on, combining my love of travelling with my love of meeting new people. Later on, my interest in the language developed into exploring widespread Chinese culture. I wanted to challenge myself in a totally new linguistic (语言的) surroundings and listen to the lives and stories of others in their own language. I have been lucky enough to have lived in China for around three years. I loved every second I spent there and there is never a shortage of things to see and do, people to meet, and foods to enjoy. It is safe to say that my journey to studying Chinese has only just begun and these first steps are only a drop in the ocean of lifelong learning, but as the Chinese philosopher Laozi says, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” 4. How does the author like the book Tao Te Ching? A. It encourages him to go to the library. B. It improves his habits. C. It has a long-lasting influence on him. D. It makes him know his grandfather better. 5. What makes the author more interested in Chinese culture? A. Watching some cartoons. B. Describing Chinese paintings. C. Living abroad for long. D. Cooking Chinese food. 6. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Chinese culture differs greatly from others’. B. Travelling takes up much of the author’s time. C. The author keeps a diary every day when he lived in China. D. The author learns languages in real surroundings. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. My Grandpa’s Influence on Me B. My Exploration of Chinese Culture C. My Travel Diary in China D. My Exposure to Language C In the northernmost edge of Colombia sits the coastal town of Acandí Access to the town is only by water or air; there is no road that leads there. The residents there are faced with the struggles of balancing livelihoods while protecting biodiversity. In the past, traditional community fishing methods, passed down by the elders, focused on the reasonable fishing and management of resources. However, the introduction of large-scale trawling vessels(拖网渔船) decades ago gradually depleted the area’s fishing resources, leading to damage to marine(海洋的) life seriously. Jesús Antonio Julio Cuestas, who serves in the region’s conservation and management of marine resources, stresses the bad impact of these developments and calls for new fishing techniques. “Fishing and conservation co-exist as long as we have good management practices and reasonable use of our fishing resources,” says Cuestas. He and other officials actively monitor fishing activities in Acandí. Each morning, they visit the fish markets to gather data on fishery resources—including prices and sizes—to monitor the state of the local fishing industry. Along with Cuestas, the fishers work to reduce their impact on the marine ecosystem. By changing fishing methods and adopting new practices, they aim for a more balanced approach to fishing. “This year the local fishermen have not used the trawl net s that were causing the death of the leatherback sea turtles,” explains Cuestas proudly. Changes include the efforts of boats to protect the seagrass that serves as feeding grounds for marine life and an end to fishers throwing net s where turtles lay their eggs. This marine reserve in Acandí, Cuestas believes, is their greatest treasure. He attaches great importance to working together with local residents to improve the quality of life while preserving the marine ecosystem. By doing so, he imagines a picture where individuals from the fishing community can pursue various careers, such as engineers or lawyers, proudly stating that they are the products of the fishing tradition in Acandí. 8. What does the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Reused. B. Restored. C. Explored. D. Reduced. 9. Why does Julio Cuestas call for new fishing techniques? A. To cut down on the costs of fishing. B. To improve the income of local residents. C. To promote the well-being of marine wildlife. D. To spread traditional community fishing methods. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The aim of the changes to fishing methods. B. The efforts to preserve marine ecosystem. C. The results the trawl net s have brought about. D. The impact of fishers on the local environment. 11. What is Julio Cuestas’s attitude towards Acandí’s future? A. Confident. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful. D Sponges (海绵) — is there anything they can’t do? For thousands of years, humans have used dried natural sponges to clean up, to paint and as containers to consume liquids like water or honey. Whether artificial or natural, sponges are great at collecting tiny pieces with their many small holes. Recently, researchers in China published a study describing their development of an artificial sponge that makes short work of removing microplastic pieces. The tests show that when a specially prepared plastic-filled solution (溶液) is pushed through one of their sponges, the sponge can remove microplastics and even smaller nanoplastics from the liquid. Researchers tried it in everything from tap water and seawater to soup from a local takeout spot. According to Guoqing Wang, a materials chemist at Ocean University of China and co-author of the paper, the sponge is adjustable. By adjusting the temperature, the sponge can be made to have more or fewer holes, which affects the size of the microplastic pieces collected. The sponge, if ever produced on an industrial scale, Wang says, could be used in wastewater treatment factories to remove microplastics from the water or in food production facilities to avoid polluting water. There are shortcomings to the sponge’s possible adoption, though. The sponge is made mostly from starch and gelatin (淀粉和明胶), which are important to the food industry, meaning that there could be intense competition for the key ingredients in the future. Besides, starch and gelatin are able to break down naturally and harmlessly. However, the process developed by Wang and his co-workers to make their sponge uses formaldehyde, a highly poisonous chemical, and there were small amounts of this in the sponge itself. When it comes to dealing with microplastic pollution in the ocean, Alice Horton at the United Kingdom’s National Oceanography Center says what she is confident about is that efforts to remove microplastics after they have already reached the ocean are probably certain to fail. “I don’t think there is anything we can do on a large enough scale that will have any impact,” she says. “We have to stop them getting there in the first place.” 12. What special characteristic of the new sponges is shown during the tests? A. Their environmental friendliness. B. Their operability and low production costs. C. Their good performance in catching plastic pieces. D. Their possibility of helping break down microplastics. 13. What will be a possible problem if the new sponges are produced in large numbers? A. The high cost of recycling them. B. The poor quality of the products. C. A shortage of the raw material. D. A lack of skillful operators. 14. What’s Alice’s opinion in regard to removing plastic from the ocean? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Time and tide wait for no man. C. Many hands make light work. D. Prevention is better than cure. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To advertise a new sponge. B. To introduce a new invention. C. To stress the damage of plastic. D. To popularize the sponge’s usage. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’re a teenager, you are in a very powerful position.

She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1～5 ABACA 6～10 BABBC 11～15 CABBA 16～20 BCABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
