A blonde young lady pulled up at the Telegraph Center tollgate (收费站) and said to the staff working inside, “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me.” She handed over seven tickets with a big smile. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollgate were informed, “A lady up ahead has already paid your fare.” It turned out that the young lady, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random (随机的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a store wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was very beautiful,” she said, explaining why she had taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, like a message from above. Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here’s the idea,” Anne said. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies (幻想) include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! 24. What is Natalie’s purpose of paying for the cars behind her? A. To please others. B. To show kindness. C. To use seven tickets. D. To reward the drivers. 25. Why did Judy copy down the phrase? A. She thought it made good sense. B. She wanted to know its meaning. C. She decided to write it on her house wall. D. She wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom. 26. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage? A. Natalie Smith. B. Judy Foreman. C. Anne Herbert. D. Alice Johnson. 27. What can be drawn from the last paragraph? A. Whoever helps others will be helped. B. People should practice kindness to those in need. C. Whoever receives kindness is likely to offer it to others. D. People will be highly praised for their spreading kindness. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了几个相互关联的故事，展示了“随心随意行善，无来无由求美”这一主题如何在不同人之间传递和影响，从而鼓励人们在生活中实践善行。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It turned out that the young lady, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.(事实证明，这位年轻的女士，娜塔莉·史密斯，在她朋友的冰箱上看到了一句话：“随心随意行善，无来无由求美。”这句话给她留下了深刻的印象，以至于她把它抄了下来)”可知，娜塔莉·史密斯受这句话的启发，想为他人做善事，因此她为她后面的六辆车付了费用。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was very beautiful,” she said, explaining why she had taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, like a message from above.(当那句话在她脑海中停留了好几天时，她决定放弃并开车回去抄写下来。“我觉得它非常美，”她说，解释为什么她开始在所有信件的底部写下它，就像来自上天的信息一样)”可推知，朱迪抄下这句话是因为她认为这句话很有道理，非常美丽。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.(两天后，爱丽丝接到了一个居住在马林的女性安妮·赫伯特的电话。正是在一家餐厅里，安妮在脑海里反复思考了几天后，将这句话写在了一张纸上)”可知，是安妮·赫伯特想出了这句话。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!(这些随意的善行不断传播开来。如果你是那些发现自己过路费已被付清的司机之一，谁知道之后你可能会受到启发去为别人做些什么呢。正如所有伟大的事件一样，善良也是从微小的行为开始，慢慢地蔓延开来。让善良成为你生活的一部分吧！)”可推知，接受善意的人很可能会把善意送给别人。故选C项。 C The idea for China’s space program was put forward in 1956 by Qian Xuesen, a pioneer in Chinese rocket science. Following full preparation, the manned Shenzhou program began in 1992, and in 2003, the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, took adventure into space. In 2007, the lunar orbiter Chang’e-1 was launched, followed by the experimental manned space station Tiangong-1 in 2011. In 2019, Chang’e-4 achieved a soft landing on the lunar far side, marking the first successful soft landing by humans in that area. A “soft” landing is one where the spacecraft lands in a controlled way, and gets no damage. Twelve hours later, the small Yutu-2 was let go. To understand why Chang’e-4’s soft landing was such an achievement, consider the difficulty of any space mission, especially one to the far side of the moon. While the far side of the moon is often called the dark side of the moon, it is not really dark. The main challenge of landing on the moon’s far side is communication, as there is no direct line of sight to Earth, making radio communication with spacecraft there typically impossible. Chinese engineers designed a unique solution to this problem. Before Chang’e-4’s mission, they sent the Queqiao communications satellite into space. When engineers needed to communicate with Chang’e-4 and Yutu-2, they could send radio messages to Queqiao. The messages would then be sent from the satellite down to the Lander. This allowed for contact between Earth and the far side of the moon. One of Chang’e-4’s experiments aimed to test a closed ecological (生态的) system, important for space missions. In this system, plants produce food and oxygen for fruit flies, while the fruit flies produce CO₂ for the plants. This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below-52°C. China’s space program has achieved significant milestones, from the manned Shenzhou program to the successful soft landing of Chang’e-4 on the lunar far side. These achievements reflect China’s growing progress in space exploration. 28. Why was the Chang’e-4’s soft landing on the lunar far side important? A. It found evidence of water on the moon. B. It discovered a new type of rock formation. C. It established an everlasting base for future missions. D. It marked a significant milestone in China’s space exploration. 29. How did Chinese engineers solve the communication problem with Chang’e-4? A. They used a special radio wave. B. They set up large equipment on the moon. C. They used a network of ground-based stations. D. They sent a communications satellite into space. 30. What challenge did the closed ecological system experiment face? A. Lack of sunlight. B. Equipment failure. C. Extreme temperatures. D. Shortage of oxygen supply. 31. What is the author’s attitude to China’s achievements in space exploration? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的太空计划自1956年由钱学森提出，经历了载人航天、月球探测等重大里程碑。2019年，嫦娥四号成功软着陆月球背面，通过鹊桥中继卫星解决了通信难题，并测试了封闭生态系统。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 2019, Chang’e-4 achieved a soft landing on the lunar far side, marking the first successful soft landing by humans in that area.(2019年，嫦娥四号成功实现在月球背面的软着陆，这标志着人类首次在该区域完成成功的软着陆任务)”可知，嫦娥四号在月球背面的软着陆标志着中国在太空探索方面的一个重要里程碑。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The main challenge of landing on the moon’s far side is communication, as there is no direct line of sight to Earth, making radio communication with spacecraft there typically impossible. Chinese engineers designed a unique solution to this problem. Before Chang’e-4’s mission, they sent the Queqiao communications satellite into space.(在月球背面着陆的主要挑战是通信问题，因为那里与地球没有直接的视线联系，使得与那里的航天器进行无线电通信通常是不可能的。中国的工程师们为这个问题设计了一个独特的解决方案。在嫦娥四号任务之前，他们向太空发射了鹊桥通信卫星)”可知，中国工程师为了解决与嫦娥四号的通信问题，向太空发射了一颗通信卫星。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below-52°C.(这个实验运行了九天，但是当温度降至零下52°C时，不得不终止)”可知，封闭生态系统面临着极端温度。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“China’s space program has achieved significant milestones, from the manned Shenzhou program to the successful soft landing of Chang’e-4 on the lunar far side. These achievements reflect China’s growing progress in space exploration.(中国的航天计划已经取得了重大里程碑式的成就，从载人神舟计划到嫦娥四号在月球背面的成功软着陆。这些成就彰显了中国在太空探索领域日益增长的进步)”可推知，作者对中国在太空探索方面取得的成就持积极态度。故选A项。 D As human beings, we naturally tend to become more and more curious about everything about ourselves, including our history, psychology and philosophy. Much of our knowledge moves around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe. But in the course of the centuries, we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas we have had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and the extraordinary molecular (分子的) structures in every cell of our bodies. The more we discover, the more we understand that what we don’t yet know is greater than what we know. The more powerful our telescopes are, the stranger and more unexpected are the heavens we see. The closer we look at the detail of matter, the more we discover of its great structure. In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first, the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed (不适应的), surprises and confuses him. But eventually he can see and returns excitedly to his friends to tell them what he has seen. They find it hard to believe. We are all in the depths of a cave, chained by our ignorance and prejudice (偏见), so our weak senses show only shadows. If we try to see further, we are confused: we are unaccustomed. But we try. This is science. Scientific thinking explores and redraws the world, gradually offering us better and better images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its ability to overthrow old ideas, to uncover new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the world. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past knowledge, but at its heart is change. The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss (深渊) of what we don't know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious. 32. What are the first three paragraphs mainly about? A. Splendid cultures for centuries created by man. B. Enough existing technologies for further exploration. C. New discoveries of the universe proved to be wrong. D. Our incomplete and uncertain knowledge of the universe. 33. Why does the author use the story told by Plato? A. To let us truly realize the cruelty of reality. B. To cheer for the heroic deeds of pursuing freedom. C. To inspire us to explore more about the unknown world. D. To prove our unfamiliarity and prejudice about the world. 34. What does the author want to stress in the article? A. Making nature take its course improves our lives. B. Past knowledge prevents us building a new world. C Exploring the universe makes our life meaningful. D. Discovering the universe a lot will cause confusion. 35. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Reasons for Learning to People B. The Significance of Exploring the Unknown C. The Effect of Knowledge on Human Beings D. The Eagerness for Knowledge of the Unknown 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类对宇宙认知的局限性与探索未知的重要性。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“But in the course of the centuries, we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas we have had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and the extraordinary molecular (分子的) structures in every cell of our bodies. (但在几个世纪的过程中，我们逐渐意识到我们有多少错误的想法。我们已经了解到黑洞、太空波的存在，以及我们身体每个细胞中非同寻常的分子结构。)”以及第三段的“The more we discover, the more we understand that what we don’t yet know is greater than what we know. (我们发现的越多，就越明白，我们还不知道的东西比我们知道的东西更伟大。)”可知，人类对于自身的探索从历史、心理学到哲学，而这些探索揭示了我们曾有的许多错误观念，如黑洞的发现、空间波以及人体细胞内的分子结构等。所以，前三段都在说明了我们对宇宙的认知是不完整且充满不确定性的。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. (在柏拉图在《理想国》第七本书中讲述的一个著名故事中，一些人被锁在一个黑暗的洞穴底部，只看到身后的火投射在墙上的影子。他们认为这是现实。其中一人重获自由，离开洞穴，发现了阳光和更广阔的世界。)”可知，作者引用柏拉图的洞穴寓言，意在通过这个故事说明人们最初受限于自身的无知与偏见，只能看到事物的表象（即洞穴中的影子），而真正的知识和现实（洞外的阳光世界）需要通过不懈探索才能获得。由此可推知，作者要用柏拉图讲的故事激励我们去探索更多未知的世界。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss ( 深渊) of what we don’t know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious. (我们知识的不完整性和不确定性，笼罩在我们不知道的东西的深渊上，并没有使生活变得毫无意义；它使生活变得有趣而珍贵。)”可知，文章整体上强调了尽管人类的知识存在局限性和不确定性，但正是这种对未知的探索让生命变得有趣且宝贵。科学思维不断挑战旧观念，揭示新的现实层面，构建更有效的世界观。由此可推知，作者想要强调的是探索宇宙赋予了我们生活的意义。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss ( 深渊) of what we don’t know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious . (我们知识的不完整性和不确定性，笼罩在我们不知道的东西的深渊上，并没有使生活变得毫无意义；它使生活变得有趣而珍贵。)”可知，整篇文章围绕人类对未知的探索展开，讨论了这一过程如何逐渐改变我们的认知，使得生活充满意义。所以“探索未知的意义”适合作本文的标题。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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The world is diverse, with a variety of languages, skin colors, and cultures coexisting. ___36___ A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world.

For example, if you want to introduce your students to a different culture, you can frequently read them stories inspired by that culture’s folk tales.(通过这样做，人们对某一特定群体的食物、音乐、语言、宗教和生活方式有了很好的了解。例如，如果你想向你的学生介绍一种不同的文化，你可以经常给他们读一些受这种文化的民间故事启发的故事)”可知，空处应该列举了解文化的其中一种方法，故C选项“一种方法是阅读来自特定文化的作者的书”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 空处位于句首，概括段落大意。根据后文“A variety of language-learning books, software, and audio programs are available at the public library or bookstores. A person can choose a language to learn and find learning programs to master the language. Besides, one can enroll in foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language.(在公共图书馆或书店可以买到各种各样的语言学习书籍、软件和音频节目。一个人可以选择一门语言来学习，并找到学习计划来掌握这门语言。此外，人们可以报名参加外语课程，以便在更正式的环境中学习。你也可以尝试访问城市的各个地区，与母语为该语言的人建立社会联系)”可知，本段给出的建议是通过学习外语来学习不同文化。故F选项“学习一门外语也是学习不同文化的好方法”符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 根据上文“A person can choose a language to learn and find learning programs to master the language. Besides, one can enroll in foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language.(一个人可以选择一门语言来学习，并找到学习计划来掌握这门语言。此外，人们可以报名参加外语课程，以便在更正式的环境中学习。你也可以尝试访问城市的各个地区，与母语为该语言的人建立社会联系)”可知，空处为本段最后一句，上文建议学习一门外语，本句应该说明其好处，且A选项中Mastering a language对应上文a language to learn。故A选项“掌握一门语言需要努力，但它是有回报的”符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据下文“becoming familiar with its food is a giant step in the right direction.(熟悉它的食物是朝着正确方向迈出的一大步)”可知，空处是在建议通过食物来了解文化，其中G项中的trying food与下文中的becoming familiar with its food相对应。故G项“通过吃特定文化群体的食物来了解不同文化” 符合此处语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As I grew up, moments with Mum were painfully short because I spent most of the year at my boarding school.

However, considering our family’s financial struggle, I realized that such a bike was merely an impossible dream. Then, I decided to choose a nightstand (床头柜). It seemed like a sensible choice, as it would provide me with a safe space to store my personal things. Therefore, I requested my parents for a nightstand equipped with lockable drawers. We visited the second-hand furniture store and chanced upon an old nightstand in a dark brown color. Although its appearance wasn’t attractive, it had drawers that could be locked. I decided to repaint it in order to make it look better. After bringing it home, I prepared to paint the nightstand. However, as I pulled out the drawers, I found something stuck to the back of the bottom drawer. Curious and eager, I reached deep into the back and was surprised to discover a bag. Upon opening the bag, I discovered several official-looking papers within, under which there was a wad (沓) of dollar bills! Imagine my surprise when I found such a treasure, especially on my birthday! Eagerly, I read the papers, which turned out a will. A certain elderly woman was leaving her savings to her son and grandchildren. It must have been that after her passing no one knew of the money. Her family donated the nightstand to a second-hand furniture store, and now it has found its way into my hand. I counted the money and found it totaled over 1,000 dollars. My heart was racing with excitement. With such a large amount, I could buy the coolest bicycle. I even had enough to buy bicycles for my younger brothers. Perhaps I could even surprise my parents with a car. What a dilemma! Should I keep the money and use it to buy all kinds of things for myself and my family? Or should I return it all? “Somebody helps me with this!” I begged. But I knew I didn’t truly need anyone to give me the answer. I had a clear sense of right and wrong. I decided not to fail this test. It was a test of my virtue. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I asked my family to come to my bedroom and showed them what I’d found. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the old lady’s son came to my house with his wife. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I asked my family to come to my bedroom and showed them what I’d found. Eyes caught by the wad of dollar bills at once, they stood there, frozen with shock and open-mouthed. I told them of my intention to return the entire sum, and without hesitation, they all supported me. We then sought help from the owner of the second-hand furniture store. By looking through the donation records, we spotted the son’s telephone number. We immediately reached out to him, informed him of the will and the money, and made an appointment with him. A few days later, the old lady’s son came to my house with his wife. Tears welled up in the man’s eyes when he saw the money and the papers, which brought back his memories about his mother. The couple expressed their gratitude to us, saying that they were in trouble and that my act of honesty came as a timely help, not only offering them a ray of hope but also strengthening their faith. No new bicycle could ever compare to the excitement I experienced on that day, as I had finally passed a significant test of virtue. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在12岁生日时在自行车与床头柜之间选择了床头柜作为生日礼物，在二手市场作者看中了一个深棕色的旧床头柜，回到家后发现抽屉里面有个包，包里面几张公文样的文件，下面是一叠美钞，作者在了解了这些物品的情况后，决定把这些物品物归原主的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我让我的家人来到我的卧室，给他们看我的发现。”可知，第一段可描写作者得到家人的支持和帮助，联系到老太太的儿子。 ②由第二段首句内容“几天后，老太太的儿子和他的妻子来到我家。”可知，第二段可描写老太太的儿子看到这些物品后的反应以及作者自己对这件事的感受。 2.续写线索：告诉家人——决定物归原主——联系物主——物归原主——物主表达感激——作者感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spotted/find ②表达：expressed/convey ③提供：offer/provide 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/surprise/amazement ②感激：expressed his gratitude/show one’s appreciation/ be grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

A variety of Chinese cuisines (菜肴) are easy to be found in Soho. Yauatcha Soho Yauatcha is a stylish all-day dim sum (点心) restaurant from the Hakkasan Group. And the Soho site is extremely stylish indeed with its dark tables and long blue-lit fish tank. The food is similarly beautiful, from the delicate (精致的) crystal dumplings to the spicy steamed sea bass, a kind of sea fish. You certainly pay for the pleasure of eating at Yauatcha. For a fancy occasion it really hits the spot. Beijing Dumplings It may have dumplings in the name but that’s not all this little spot turns out. You can watch the cooks make the dumplings by hand in the window and they come pan-fried, steamed or soupy in the form of xiao long bao. If you need more, there are a variety of classic dishes and spicy hot pot. Little Four Seasons It’s not hard to locate Little Four Seasons which is famed for its roast duck. You can get this dish there, but the specialty of this house is hot pot with pork and chicken with black pepper, and the spicy chicken and the spicy and sour fish are particular favourites. Barshu Sichuan cuisine is famous for its spiciness and that’s exactly what you get at Barshu.

B Here was a warm story happening on a freezing cold winter night. A blonde young lady pulled up at the Telegraph Center tollgate (收费站) and said to the staff working inside, “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me.” She handed over seven tickets with a big smile. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollgate were informed, “A lady up ahead has already paid your fare.” It turned out that the young lady, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random (随机的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a store wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was very beautiful,” she said, explaining why she had taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, like a message from above. Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here’s the idea,” Anne said. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies (幻想) include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! 24. What is Natalie’s purpose of paying for the cars behind her? A. To please others. B. To show kindness. C. To use seven tickets. D. To reward the drivers. 25. Why did Judy copy down the phrase? A. She thought it made good sense. B. She wanted to know its meaning. C. She decided to write it on her house wall. D. She wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom. 26. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage? A. Natalie Smith. B. Judy Foreman. C. Anne Herbert. D. Alice Johnson. 27. What can be drawn from the last paragraph? A. Whoever helps others will be helped. B. People should practice kindness to those in need. C. Whoever receives kindness is likely to offer it to others. D. People will be highly praised for their spreading kindness. C The idea for China’s space program was put forward in 1956 by Qian Xuesen, a pioneer in Chinese rocket science. Following full preparation, the manned Shenzhou program began in 1992, and in 2003, the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, took adventure into space. In 2007, the lunar orbiter Chang’e-1 was launched, followed by the experimental manned space station Tiangong-1 in 2011. In 2019, Chang’e-4 achieved a soft landing on the lunar far side, marking the first successful soft landing by humans in that area. A “soft” landing is one where the spacecraft lands in a controlled way, and gets no damage. Twelve hours later, the small Yutu-2 was let go. To understand why Chang’e-4’s soft landing was such an achievement, consider the difficulty of any space mission, especially one to the far side of the moon. While the far side of the moon is often called the dark side of the moon, it is not really dark. The main challenge of landing on the moon’s far side is communication, as there is no direct line of sight to Earth, making radio communication with spacecraft there typically impossible. Chinese engineers designed a unique solution to this problem. Before Chang’e-4’s mission, they sent the Queqiao communications satellite into space. When engineers needed to communicate with Chang’e-4 and Yutu-2, they could send radio messages to Queqiao. The messages would then be sent from the satellite down to the Lander. This allowed for contact between Earth and the far side of the moon. One of Chang’e-4’s experiments aimed to test a closed ecological (生态的) system, important for space missions. In this system, plants produce food and oxygen for fruit flies, while the fruit flies produce CO₂ for the plants. This experiment worked for nine days, but it had to be stopped when the temperatures dropped below-52°C. China’s space program has achieved significant milestones, from the manned Shenzhou program to the successful soft landing of Chang’e-4 on the lunar far side. These achievements reflect China’s growing progress in space exploration. 28. Why was the Chang’e-4’s soft landing on the lunar far side important? A. It found evidence of water on the moon. B. It discovered a new type of rock formation. C. It established an everlasting base for future missions. D. It marked a significant milestone in China’s space exploration. 29. How did Chinese engineers solve the communication problem with Chang’e-4? A. They used a special radio wave. B. They set up large equipment on the moon. C. They used a network of ground-based stations. D. They sent a communications satellite into space. 30. What challenge did the closed ecological system experiment face? A. Lack of sunlight. B. Equipment failure. C. Extreme temperatures. D. Shortage of oxygen supply. 31. What is the author’s attitude to China’s achievements in space exploration? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful. D As human beings, we naturally tend to become more and more curious about everything about ourselves, including our history, psychology and philosophy. Much of our knowledge moves around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe. But in the course of the centuries, we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas we have had. We have learned of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and the extraordinary molecular (分子的) structures in every cell of our bodies. The more we discover, the more we understand that what we don’t yet know is greater than what we know. The more powerful our telescopes are, the stranger and more unexpected are the heavens we see. The closer we look at the detail of matter, the more we discover of its great structure. In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. They think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first, the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed (不适应的), surprises and confuses him. But eventually he can see and returns excitedly to his friends to tell them what he has seen. They find it hard to believe. We are all in the depths of a cave, chained by our ignorance and prejudice (偏见), so our weak senses show only shadows. If we try to see further, we are confused: we are unaccustomed. But we try. This is science. Scientific thinking explores and redraws the world, gradually offering us better and better images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its ability to overthrow old ideas, to uncover new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the world. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past knowledge, but at its heart is change. The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss (深渊) of what we don't know, does not make life meaningless; it makes life interesting and precious. 32. What are the first three paragraphs mainly about? A. Splendid cultures for centuries created by man. B. Enough existing technologies for further exploration. C. New discoveries of the universe proved to be wrong. D. Our incomplete and uncertain knowledge of the universe. 33. Why does the author use the story told by Plato? A. To let us truly realize the cruelty of reality. B. To cheer for the heroic deeds of pursuing freedom. C. To inspire us to explore more about the unknown world. D. To prove our unfamiliarity and prejudice about the world. 34. What does the author want to stress in the article? A. Making nature take its course improves our lives. B. Past knowledge prevents us building a new world. C. Exploring the universe makes our life meaningful. D. Discovering the universe a lot will cause confusion. 35. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Reasons for Learning to People B. The Significance of Exploring the Unknown C. The Effect of Knowledge on Human Beings D. The Eagerness for Knowledge of the Unknown 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The world is diverse, with a variety of languages, skin colors, and cultures coexisting. ___36___ A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world.

However, considering our family’s financial struggle, I realized that such a bike was merely an impossible dream. Then, I decided to choose a nightstand (床头柜). It seemed like a sensible choice, as it would provide me with a safe space to store my personal things. Therefore, I requested my parents for a nightstand equipped with lockable drawers. We visited the second-hand furniture store and chanced upon an old nightstand in a dark brown color. Although its appearance wasn’t attractive, it had drawers that could be locked. I decided to repaint it in order to make it look better. After bringing it home, I prepared to paint the nightstand. However, as I pulled out the drawers, I found something stuck to the back of the bottom drawer. Curious and eager, I reached deep into the back and was surprised to discover a bag. Upon opening the bag, I discovered several official-looking papers within, under which there was a wad (沓) of dollar bills! Imagine my surprise when I found such a treasure, especially on my birthday! Eagerly, I read the papers, which turned out a will. A certain elderly woman was leaving her savings to her son and grandchildren. It must have been that after her passing no one knew of the money. Her family donated the nightstand to a second-hand furniture store, and now it has found its way into my hand. I counted the money and found it totaled over 1,000 dollars. My heart was racing with excitement. With such a large amount, I could buy the coolest bicycle. I even had enough to buy bicycles for my younger brothers. Perhaps I could even surprise my parents with a car. What a dilemma! Should I keep the money and use it to buy all kinds of things for myself and my family? Or should I return it all? “Somebody helps me with this!” I begged. But I knew I didn’t truly need anyone to give me the answer. I had a clear sense of right and wrong. I decided not to fail this test. It was a test of my virtue. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I asked my family to come to my bedroom and showed them what I’d found. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the old lady’s son came to my house with his wife. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
