第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Starting a new book can feel like a bit of a commitment (承诺), but it doesn’t have to be! Here are four books you can read in a single day.
The House on Mango Street
Released in 1984 and written by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is only 103 pages long. It’s a rapid read for those looking to dip their toes into the water, but it still deals with complex themes and important subject matters, including language, race, ageing, and troubles.
The Midnight Library
The Midnight Library from the English author Matt Haig was released in 2020. It has 288 pages, which makes it a little more challenging but still absolutely doable (可做的) in a single day. The novel is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life.
The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo
Released in 2012 and written by the fantastic Malaysian-English author Zen Cho, the page count is an extremely manageable 76 pages, which makes this another effective first read in one day. The novel is set in London in the 1920s and follows the life of another writer, Jade Yeo. There is even enough time for readers to appreciate a film adaptation of the book after reading it.
Stardust
The 1999 novel by English author Neil Gaiman is a perfect presentation of the writer’s fantasy styles at their best. Stardust, which became a major motion picture, sits at 256 pages, It’s epic (史诗般的) in its scale, but the reader can fit the novel into a single day, giving them a true sense of absolute escapism to the fantasyland of Stormhold.
21.Which book can make you feel like escaping from reality and being in a kind of dreamland?
A.The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo. B.The Midnight: Library.
C.The House on Mango Street. D.Stardust.
22.What fact can we get, from The Perilous s Life of Jade Yeo?
A.It’s supposed to be made into a film soon.
B.The book tells the life of its author, Zen Cho.
C.Its background is in London about a century ago.
D.It is a bit more challenging to finish reading it in two days.
23.Why may readers be fond of The House on Mango Street?
A.It is a perfect presentation of the writer’s own experiences.
B.It involves complex themes and important subject matters.
C.It was written by a well-known Malaysian-English author.
D.It is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the“what ifs”of her life;

B
When 12-year-old Erica Fernandez volunteered to help clean up the beach in her new hometown, Oxnard, California, she could barely speak English. She was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. She and her family had recently arrived in California from a small town in Mexico.
Erica started going door to door in her mainly Spanish-speaking farmworker community. “I always loved the ocean,” she says, “so it made me really sad to see this beautiful beach full of trash. That’s why I decided to help.”
Erica cared too much to stay silent. Having grown up in a tiny town in the Mexican state of Michoacán, she had a strong motivation to care for nature. “We grew our own food and raised our own animals. Taking care of nature was part of survival.” She wanted to bring that same spirit to her new life in California.
As her English improved, she talked to kids in her high school about what was going on. “I didn’t know if they would listen to me. My English wasn’t good and I was only sixteen,” she says. As she nervously approached the microphone, she was informed that time was running out. One minute and thirty seconds was all she had. “I couldn’t give my prepared speech, so I just spoke from my heart.”
The result was electrifying. When Erica was finished, people stood up and broke into applause. One of the teachers said, “I’m very moved by your words, Erica. When I was your age, I was playing video games.”
Only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. “We are the future. The future is ours.”
24.Why did the author mention Erica’s words in Paragraph 2?
A.To show gratitude to her action. B.To advocate learning from her.
C.To clarify the reason for her help. D.To think highly of her devotion.
25.According to the passage, what can we learn about Erica?
A.She was the only college student in her family.
B.She volunteered to clean up the garbage on Spanish beaches.
C.She spent her childhood in a small town in Mexico.
D.She couldn’t speak either English or Spanish in California.
26.What do we know about Erica’s speech?
A.The device disturbed her performance.
B.The audience was greatly encouraged.
C.It affected people’s attitude to playing games.
D.Erica expressed her inner thoughts fluently.
27.From which is this text most probably taken?
A.A geography textbook. B.A health report.
C.A scientific website. D.An environmental magazine.
【答案】24.C 25.C 26.B 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是主人公Erica Fernandez志愿清理海滩垃圾的故事。
24.推理判断题。根据第二段中的““I always loved the ocean,” she says, “so it made me really sad to see this beautiful beach full of trash. That’s why I decided to help.”(“我一直很喜欢海洋,”她说,“所以看到这个美丽的海滩上到处都是垃圾,我真的很难过。这就是我决定帮忙的原因。”)”可知,Erica看到美丽的海滩到处都是垃圾,她感到很难过,所以决定帮忙清理海滩,由此可知,她的话告知了自己行为的原因。故选C项。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Having grown up in a tiny town in the Mexican state of Michoacán, she had a strong motivation to care for nature.(她在墨西哥Michoacán州的一个小镇长大,有强烈的动机去关心自然。)”可知,她在墨西哥的一个小镇长大。故选C项。
26.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The result was electrifying.(结果令人振奋。)”以及“When Erica was finished, people stood up and broke into applause.(当Erica讲完时,人们站起来,爆发出热烈的掌声。)”可知,演讲令人振奋,且演讲结束后,人们站起来鼓掌,由此可知,此次演讲很成功,人们受到鼓舞并起立鼓掌。故选B项。
27.推理判断题。根据首段中的“When 12-year-old Erica Fernandez volunteered to help clean up the beach in her new hometown, Oxnard, California, she could barely speak English.(当12岁的Erica Fernandez在她的新家乡加州奥克斯纳德志愿帮助清理海滩时,她几乎不会说英语。)”以及下文中的介绍的她为了清理海滩所作出的努力可知,本文主要讲述的是主人公志愿清理海滩垃圾的故事,属于环境保护类话题,由此可知推断,本文有可能会出自环境杂志。故选D项。
C
If a pancake could dream, it might long for legs so it could jump off your breakfast plate in pursuit of a better, unchewed life. But legs aren’t necessary for something as flat as a pancake to jump around. A group of scientists have designed a pancake-shaped robot that can jump several times per second and higher than seven times its body height. The new robot named Hop, which swiftly jumps without feet, is an important contribution to the soft robotics.
Many ground robots move by rolling or walking. But it’s more efficient for robots to jump over obstacles (障碍物) than to go around them. Although jumping can offer some robots a competitive edge, engineering that ability has been a challenge for robotics researchers. Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don’t store energy can jump frequently but can’t jump high or far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.
For inspiration, the researchers looked to gall midge larvae (瘿蚊幼虫) that miraculously throw themselves across distances 30 times as long as their loglike bodies. A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid in its body to one end, making it rigid (僵硬的). The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it soaring (飙升). The robot’s body doesn’t resemble (像) that of a gall midge larva, but it jumps like one. Its body is made of two small plastic bags printed with electrodes; the front bag is filled with liquid and the back one is filled with the same volume of air. The robot uses electricity to drive the flow of liquid, which causes the body to bend and generate force with the ground, resulting in a jump. And the air bag imitates the function of an animal’s tail, helping the robot keep a stable position.
While the robot is currently restricted to Earth, it might be right at home exploring another planet. If this is true, the researchers robot might jump over dusty rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no pancake has gone before.
28.What does the author want to show by mentioning a pancake?
A.A pancake’s dream to have legs is unrealistic.
B.A robot is capable of serving a good pancake.
C.A pancake-shaped robot can jump without legs.
D.Research on pancakes advances our understanding of robots.
29.What difficultly do robotics researchers have in developing Hop according to Paragraph 2?
A.Hop’s avoiding an obstacle. B.Hop’s moving around by rolling.
C.Hop’s performing one remarkable jump. D.Hop’s jumping high and far continuously.
30.What inspiration do the researchers draw from gall midge larvae?
A.They are shaped like logs.
B.They have tails to change positions.
C.They bend their bodies and increase force.
D.They are filled with liquid and have rigid bodies.
31.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new robot?
A.Intolerant. B.Positive. C.Indifferent. D.Ambiguous.
【答案】28.C 29.D 30.C 31.B
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,主要介绍了一款扁平无腿机器人的原理,优点及前景。
28.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If a pancake could dream, it might long for legs so it could jump off your breakfast plate in pursuit of a better, unchewed life. But legs aren’t necessary for something as flat as a pancake to jump around. A group of scientists have designed a pancake-shaped robot that can jump several times per second and higher than seven times its body height.(如果煎饼可以做梦,它可能会渴望长出腿,这样它就可以从你的早餐盘上跳下来,追求更好的、不被咀嚼的生活。但是对于像煎饼这样扁平的东西来说,腿并不是必须的。一组科学家设计了一个煎饼形状的机器人,它可以每秒跳几次,高度超过其身高的7倍)”可知,作者在第一段提及煎饼是为了引出说明没有腿也能跳的煎饼形状的机器人。故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don’t store energy can jump frequently but can’t jump high or far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.(一些储存能量的软体机器人很少能完成一次令人印象深刻的跳跃。一些不储存能量的轻量级软体机器人可以频繁跳跃,但跳得不够高,跳得不够远,无法成功跨越障碍)”可知,研究者的研发难点在于如何使机器人持续跳跃,且跳得又高又远。故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid in its body to one end, making it rigid(僵硬的). The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it soaring(飙升).(瘿蚊幼虫弯曲身体,将体内的液体挤压到一端,使其变得坚硬。液体的积累会产生压力,而释放压力会让压力飙升)”可知,瘿蚊幼虫通过弯曲身体,挤压液体,积聚压力然后释放来跳跃。故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If this is true, the researchers robot might jump over dusty rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no pancake has gone before.(如果这是真的,研究机器人可能会跳过月球或火星上布满灰尘的岩石和大洞,去到以前没有煎饼去过的地方)”可知,作者这种新机器人的前景持有乐观态度。故选B。
D
It's a sunny March afternoon at Winchester Village Elementary School in Indianapolis, and teacher Natasha Cummings surprises her second graders when she declares the day's activity: They'll be demonstrating a total solar eclipse (日食) using the real sun, a globe and a moon made out of a plastic ball fixed on a stick.
In a grassy area outside the school, Cummings' eclipse experiment begins: Students take turns holding the globes and casting a shadow with their plastic balls. Cummings directs them to aim the shadow over the spot on the globe where Indianapolis would be. It's a little disorganized at first, but the students quickly figure out how to properly position the moon's shadow over their hometown.
On April 8, 2024, part of America will experience a total solar eclipse, in which the moon entirely covers the sun, darkening the sky so that only an amazing white ring of the sun will be visible. Indianapolis is one of several cities in the path of totality.
"For most of my students, this event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity since the next one won't happen until 2153," Cummings says. "I hope learning about and witnessing the eclipse will get them excited about science. Above all, I want to show that science is not done by old, gray-haired people in lab coats, necessarily. Instead, it's all around us."
Thomas Hockey, a professor of astronomy at the University of Northern Iowa, says the fact that elementary school teachers like Cummings are now teaching about the eclipse is an indication that science education has improved since he was a child.
"I didn't learn about solar eclipses when I was in grade school, but I still remember my first eclipse experience outside my home in Angola, Indiana. It was on March 7, 1970, nearly a year after the Apollo program had put the first person on the moon, "Hockey recalls. "My interest in space was already developing. But the partial eclipse was one of the reasons I chose to study astronomy."
32.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.Summarize the previous paragraphs. B.Provide some advice for the readers.
C.Add some background information. D.Introduce another topic for discussion.
33.What is Natasha Cummings's main purpose in carrying out the experiment?
A.To protect her students. B.To try a new teaching method.
C.To learn about the eclipse. D.To show that science is not mysterious.
34.What message does Thomas Hockey really want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.He loved science when he was a child. B.The Apollo program is more important.
C.He regrets never meeting a good teacher. D.The eclipse experience is very inspiring.
35.Where is the text most probably taken from?
A.A lesson plan. B.A news report.
C.A guidebook. D.An interview.
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.D 35.B
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了印第安纳波利斯的温彻斯特的小学教师Natasha Cummings希望通过一个日食实验来激发孩子们的探索欲望并消除科学的神秘感。
32.推理判断题。根据第三段“On April 8, 2024, part of America will experience a total solar eclipse, in which the moon entirely covers the sun, darkening the sky so that only an amazing white ring of the sun will be visible. Indianapolis is one of several cities in the path of totality.”(2024年4月8日,美国部分地区将经历日全食,届时月亮将完全遮住太阳,天空变暗,只有一个令人惊叹的白色太阳环可以看到。印第安纳波利斯是全食路径上的几个城市之一。)可知,这段主要是解释Natasha Cummings为什么要做那个实验,即4月8日,美国部分地区将经历日全食。由此可推知,作者在第3段打算添加一些背景信息。故选C项。
33.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Above all, I want to show that science is not done by old, gray-haired people in lab coats, necessarily. Instead, it's all around us.”(最重要的是,我想表明,科学不一定是由穿着实验室工作服、头发花白的老人完成的。相反,它就在我们身边。)可推知,Natasha Cummings做这个实验的主要目的是为了证明科学并不神秘。故选D项。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段“"I didn't learn about solar eclipses when I was in grade school, but I still remember my first eclipse experience outside my home in Angola, Indiana. It was on March 7, 1970, nearly a year after the Apollo program had put the first person on the moon, "Hockey recalls. "My interest in space was already developing. But the partial eclipse was one of the reasons I chose to study astronomy."”(“我在小学的时候没有学过日食,但我仍然记得我在印第安纳州安哥拉的家外的第一次日食经历。那是1970年3月7日,在阿波罗计划将第一个人送上月球将近一年后,” Hockey回忆道。“我对太空的兴趣已经在发展。但日偏食是我选择学习天文学的原因之一。”)可知,Thomas Hockey在最后一段真正想要传达的信息是日食的经历非常鼓舞人心。故选D项。
35.推理判断题。根据文章大意可知,文中不但有课堂现场的描写,还有对教师及专家的采访,因此这篇文章最有可能选自新闻报道。故选B项。

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。
What is sustainable travel? Traveling sustainably means being aware of the impact of tourism on the environment and following good practices to reduce the negative effects. Planet Earth has limited resources and mass tourism puts their existence at risk. 36 Nature, culture and history should be preserved, not commercialized to attract tourists.
Let’s find out a few easy ways to travel in an eco-friendly way.
Stay in eco-friendly accommodations.
From renewable energy production to bio-architecture, eco-friendly accommodations focus on preserving the environment and have positive environmental effects. 37 Staying in eco-friendly accommodations also supports the local economy. In fact, most environmentally friendly accommodations offer zero-kilometer, organic food.
Take public transportation.
38 By using public transport, the number of cars on the roads decreases and less carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) is released into the atmosphere. Also, fewer vehicle s reduce traffic congestion(阻塞) on the roads.
39
Interaction with locals is one of the most rewarding things about sustainable travel and preserves traditions passed down from generation to generation. It is essential to respect traditions as they form the identity of the local community and create a sense of unity among people.
Say NO to single-use plastics.
Saying NO to single-use plastics reduces pollution. The production of plastics uses fossil fuels(化石燃料) and therefore releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. 40 As tourists, we should be mindful of how we travel and our impact when we arrive at a destination.
A.However, this is not all.
B.Buy from and support local businesses.
C.Respect the culture of local communities.
D.Therefore, sustainable travel is a way to preserve nature.
E.Traveling slow allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way.
F.This practice helps reduce air pollution and improve traffic flow.
G.In addition, numerous plastics end up in oceans every year, threatening sea life.
【答案】36.D 37.A 38.F 39.C 40.G
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是可持续旅游,以及如何通过一些简单的方式来实现环保旅行。
36.根据上文内容“What is sustainable travel? Traveling sustainably means being aware of the impact of tourism on the environment and following good practices to reduce the negative effects. Planet Earth has limited resources and mass tourism puts their existence at risk.(什么是可持续旅游?可持续旅游意味着意识到旅游业对环境的影响,并遵循良好的做法来减少负面影响。地球上的资源有限,大众旅游使它们的生存处于危险之中。)”可知,可持续旅游意味着意识到旅游业对环境的影响,并遵循良好的做法来减少负面影响。选项D“Therefore, sustainable travel is a way to preserve nature.(因此,可持续旅游是保护自然的一种方式。)”是上文内容的自然延续,指的是可持续旅游是保护自然的一种方式。故选D。
37.根据空前“From renewable energy production to bio-architecture, eco-friendly accommodations focus on preserving the environment and have positive environmental effects.(从可再生能源生产到生物建筑,生态友好型住宿注重保护环境,并对环境产生积极影响。)”以及空后“Staying in eco-friendly accommodations also supports the local economy.(住在环保的房子里也能促进当地经济。)”可知,上下文都和生态友好型住宿相关,都介绍了生态友好型住宿的好处。选项A“However, this is not all.(然而,这还不是全部。)”承上启下,与上下文内容相符。故选A。
38.根据下文内容“By using public transport, the number of cars on the roads decreases and less carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) is released into the atmosphere. Also, fewer vehicle s reduce traffic congestion(阻塞) on the roads.(通过使用公共交通工具,道路上的汽车数量减少,二氧化碳被释放到大气中。车辆的减少也会减少交通堵塞。)”可知,本段讲述的是乘坐公共交通工具的好处。选项F“This practice helps reduce air pollution and improve traffic flow.(这种做法有助于减少空气污染和改善交通流量。)”中的“this practice”指的是本段的小标题“Take public transportation”,而内容则是下文内容的总结,指的是乘坐公共交通工具有助于减少空气污染和改善交通流量。故选F。
39.空处为小标题,为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Interaction with locals is one of the most rewarding things about sustainable travel and preserves traditions passed down from generation to generation. It is essential to respect traditions as they form the identity of the local community and create a sense of unity among people.(与当地人互动是可持续旅行中最有价值的事情之一,并保留了代代相传的传统。尊重传统是至关重要的,因为它们构成了当地社区的身份,并在人们之间创造了一种团结的感觉。)”可知,本段讲述的是要尊重当地的传统。选项C“Respect the culture of local communities.(尊重当地社区文化。)”与本段内容相符,是本段的主要内容。故选C。
40.根据空前内容“Saying NO to single-use plastics reduces pollution. The production of plastics uses fossil fuels(化石燃料) and therefore releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.(对一次性塑料说不可以减少污染。塑料的生产使用化石燃料,因此向大气中释放二氧化碳,导致气候变化。)”可知,上文讲述的是塑料对空气的影响。选项G“In addition, numerous plastics end up in oceans every year, threatening sea life.(此外,每年都有大量的塑料进入海洋,威胁着海洋生物。)”延续上文内容,指的是塑料对海洋的影响。从而自然引出本段的主题,即“Say NO to single-use plastics.(对一次性塑料说不。)”故选G。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
During the first week of high school, one of the major headaches for Eva was finding her way in the huge school building. It was a six-story building. On each floor, hallways stretched in four also a library, a cafeteria, and a gym. directions, leading to classrooms, labs, and teachers' offices. Somewhere in the building, there was also a library, a cafeteria,and a gym.
Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building. All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn't exist.
In her first P. E. class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside. There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile.To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather's, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!
When Coach Pitt blew his whistle, Eva figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind. “It's just the beginning," she thought. “I'll come in last for sure."
Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking. Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile." Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow east on the track by a tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved (拐弯). After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap (一圈). One lap turned into two, then three, then four.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised.

Paragraph 2: Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised. In the vast expanse of her school, a girl with poor directional skills struggled to navigate and often got lost. One day, during gym class, she observed a unique way to find her way - following the shadows of trees. As the sun cast its rays, the girl noticed how the shadows created patterns on the ground, guiding her path. She took a leap of faith and followed the shadows, surprising herself with each turn and stretch. Her efforts were noticed by the teacher, who praised her innovative thinking.
Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building. She used the shadows to navigate the school hallways, find her classes, and even locate the school’s various facilities. This newfound skill not only helped the girl navigate her school but also instilled in her a sense of confidence and adventure. She learned excitedly that with a little creativity and observation, any challenge could be overcome. And with each step she took, she left behind a legacy of inspiration for those who followed in her footsteps, knowing that even without a clear sense of direction, there’s always a way to find one’s way.

Starting a new book can feel like a bit of a commitment (承诺), but it doesn’t have to be! Here are four books you can read in a single day.
The House on Mango Street
Released in 1984 and written by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street is only 103 pages long.

The Midnight Library
The Midnight Library from the English author Matt Haig was released in 2020. It has 288 pages, which makes it a little more challenging but still absolutely doable (可做的) in a single day. The novel is all about storytelling, with Nora Seed exploring the “what ifs” of her life.

Stardust
The 1999 novel by English author Neil Gaiman is a perfect presentation of the writer’s fantasy styles at their best. Stardust, which became a major motion picture, sits at 256 pages, It’s epic (史诗般的) in its scale, but the reader can fit the novel into a single day, giving them a true sense of absolute escapism to the fantasyland of Stormhold.

A.The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo. B.The Midnight: Library.

B
When 12-year-old Erica Fernandez volunteered to help clean up the beach in her new hometown, Oxnard, California, she could barely speak English. She was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. She and her family had recently arrived in California from a small town in Mexico.
Erica started going door to door in her mainly Spanish-speaking farmworker community. “I always loved the ocean,” she says, “so it made me really sad to see this beautiful beach full of trash. That’s why I decided to help.”
Erica cared too much to stay silent. Having grown up in a tiny town in the Mexican state of Michoacán, she had a strong motivation to care for nature. “We grew our own food and raised our own animals. Taking care of nature was part of survival.” She wanted to bring that same spirit to her new life in California.
As her English improved, she talked to kids in her high school about what was going on. “I didn’t know if they would listen to me. My English wasn’t good and I was only sixteen,” she says. As she nervously approached the microphone, she was informed that time was running out. One minute and thirty seconds was all she had. “I couldn’t give my prepared speech, so I just spoke from my heart.”
The result was electrifying. When Erica was finished, people stood up and broke into applause. One of the teachers said, “I’m very moved by your words, Erica. When I was your age, I was playing video games.”
Only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities.

If a pancake could dream, it might long for legs so it could jump off your breakfast plate in pursuit of a better, unchewed life. But legs aren’t necessary for something as flat as a pancake to jump around. A group of scientists have designed a pancake-shaped robot that can jump several times per second and higher than seven times its body height. The new robot named Hop, which swiftly jumps without feet, is an important contribution to the soft robotics.
Many ground robots move by rolling or walking. But it’s more efficient for robots to jump over obstacles (障碍物) than to go around them. Although jumping can offer some robots a competitive edge, engineering that ability has been a challenge for robotics researchers. Some soft robots that store energy can perform a single impressive jump very infrequently. Some lightweight soft robots that don’t store energy can jump frequently but can’t jump high or far enough to successfully cross an obstacle.
For inspiration, the researchers looked to gall midge larvae (瘿蚊幼虫) that miraculously throw themselves across distances 30 times as long as their loglike bodies. A gall midge larva bends its body and squeezes the liquid in its body to one end, making it rigid (僵硬的). The accumulation of liquid builds up pressure, and releasing the pressure sends it soaring (飙升). The robot’s body doesn’t resemble (像) that of a gall midge larva, but it jumps like one. Its body is made of two small plastic bags printed with electrodes; the front bag is filled with liquid and the back one is filled with the same volume of air. The robot uses electricity to drive the flow of liquid, which causes the body to bend and generate force with the ground, resulting in a jump. And the air bag imitates the function of an animal’s tail, helping the robot keep a stable position.
While the robot is currently restricted to Earth, it might be right at home exploring another planet. If this is true, the researchers robot might jump over dusty rocks and large holes on the moon or Mars, going where no pancake has gone before.
28.What does the author want to show by mentioning a pancake?
A.A pancake’s dream to have legs is unrealistic.
B.A robot is capable of serving a good pancake.
C.A pancake-shaped robot can jump without legs.
D.Research on pancakes advances our understanding of robots.
29.What difficultly do robotics researchers have in developing Hop according to Paragraph 2?
A.Hop’s avoiding an obstacle. B.Hop’s moving around by rolling.
C.Hop’s performing one remarkable jump. D.Hop’s jumping high and far continuously.
30.What inspiration do the researchers draw from gall midge larvae?
A.They are shaped like logs.
B.They have tails to change positions.
C.They bend their bodies and increase force.
D.They are filled with liquid and have rigid bodies.
31.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new robot?
A.Intolerant. B.Positive. C.Indifferent. D.Ambiguous.

It's a sunny March afternoon at Winchester Village Elementary School in Indianapolis, and teacher Natasha Cummings surprises her second graders when she declares the day's activity: They'll be demonstrating a total solar eclipse (日食) using the real sun, a globe and a moon made out of a plastic ball fixed on a stick.
In a grassy area outside the school, Cummings' eclipse experiment begins: Students take turns holding the globes and casting a shadow with their plastic balls. Cummings directs them to aim the shadow over the spot on the globe where Indianapolis would be. It's a little disorganized at first, but the students quickly figure out how to properly position the moon's shadow over their hometown.
On April 8, 2024, part of America will experience a total solar eclipse, in which the moon entirely covers the sun, darkening the sky so that only an amazing white ring of the sun will be visible. Indianapolis is one of several cities in the path of totality.
"For most of my students, this event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity since the next one won't happen until 2153," Cummings says. "I hope learning about and witnessing the eclipse will get them excited about science. Above all, I want to show that science is not done by old, gray-haired people in lab coats, necessarily. Instead, it's all around us."
Thomas Hockey, a professor of astronomy at the University of Northern Iowa, says the fact that elementary school teachers like Cummings are now teaching about the eclipse is an indication that science education has improved since he was a child.
"I didn't learn about solar eclipses when I was in grade school, but I still remember my first eclipse experience outside my home in Angola, Indiana. It was on March 7, 1970, nearly a year after the Apollo program had put the first person on the moon, "Hockey recalls. "My interest in space was already developing. But the partial eclipse was one of the reasons I chose to study astronomy."
32.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.Summarize the previous paragraphs. B.Provide some advice for the readers.
C.Add some background information. D.Introduce another topic for discussion.
33.What is Natasha Cummings's main purpose in carrying out the experiment?
A.To protect her students. B.To try a new teaching method.
C.To learn about the eclipse. D.To show that science is not mysterious.
34.What message does Thomas Hockey really want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.He loved science when he was a child. B.The Apollo program is more important.
C.He regrets never meeting a good teacher. D.The eclipse experience is very inspiring.
35.Where is the text most probably taken from?
A.A lesson plan. B.A news report.
C.A guidebook. D.An interview.

What is sustainable travel? Traveling sustainably means being aware of the impact of tourism on the environment and following good practices to reduce the negative effects. Planet Earth has limited resources and mass tourism puts their existence at risk. 36 Nature, culture and history should be preserved, not commercialized to attract tourists.
Let’s find out a few easy ways to travel in an eco-friendly way.
Stay in eco-friendly accommodations.
From renewable energy production to bio-architecture, eco-friendly accommodations focus on preserving the environment and have positive environmental effects. 37 Staying in eco-friendly accommodations also supports the local economy. In fact, most environmentally friendly accommodations offer zero-kilometer, organic food.
Take public transportation.
38 By using public transport, the number of cars on the roads decreases and less carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) is released into the atmosphere. Also, fewer vehicle s reduce traffic congestion(阻塞) on the roads.
39
Interaction with locals is one of the most rewarding things about sustainable travel and preserves traditions passed down from generation to generation. It is essential to respect traditions as they form the identity of the local community and create a sense of unity among people.
Say NO to single-use plastics.
Saying NO to single-use plastics reduces pollution. The production of plastics uses fossil fuels(化石燃料) and therefore releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. 40 As tourists, we should be mindful of how we travel and our impact when we arrive at a destination.
A.However, this is not all.
B.Buy from and support local businesses.
C.Respect the culture of local communities.
D.Therefore, sustainable travel is a way to preserve nature.
E.Traveling slow allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way.
F.This practice helps reduce air pollution and improve traffic flow.
G.In addition, numerous plastics end up in oceans every year, threatening sea life.

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。
During the first week of high school, one of the major headaches for Eva was finding her way in the huge school building. It was a six-story building. On each floor, hallways stretched in four also a library, a cafeteria, and a gym. directions, leading to classrooms, labs, and teachers' offices. Somewhere in the building, there was also a library, a cafeteria,and a gym.
Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building. All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn't exist.
In her first P. E. class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside. There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile.To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather's, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!
When Coach Pitt blew his whistle, Eva figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind. “It's just the beginning," she thought. “I'll come in last for sure."
Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking. Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile." Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow east on the track by a tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved (拐弯). After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap (一圈). One lap turned into two, then three, then four.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.
