Today we are looking at some idioms about “air”. To be in the air If spring is “in the air”, it’s about to happen: “The birds are singing and it feels a little warmer—spring is exactly in the air.” To be walking on air It means to be very excited and happy because something good has happened to you. When she found out she would be a mother she was walking on air. To be up in the air If a question or decision is “up in the air”, it is still not sure what is going to happen, and no decision has been taken. Here is an example. “They told me I might be sent to work in the UK soon, but at the moment the decision is still up in the air.” To clear the air If a discussion “clears the air”, it makes all the bad feelings go away because it gives everyone a chance to talk about their problems. For example, things had been tense (紧张) in the office for a long time, but the meeting we had last night really cleared the air. 46. Which of the following can describe “Summer holiday is coming”? A. Summer holiday is in the air. B. Summer holiday clears the air. C. Summer holiday is up in the air. D. Summer holiday is walking on air. 47. What does “To clear the air” mean? A. Someone will be a mother. B. All the bad feelings go away. C. The weather becomes warmer. D. One decides to do something. 48. In which part of a magazine can we read this article? A. Travel. B. Health. C. Science. D. Culture. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一些关于“空气”的习语。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If spring is ‘in the air’, it’s about to happen”可知，be in the air表示“将要发生的事”。故选A。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“If a discussion ‘clears the air’, it makes all the bad feelings go away because it gives everyone a chance to talk about their problems.”可知，To clear the air意思是“所有的坏情绪都会消失”。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Today we are looking at some idioms about ‘air’.”及结合文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了一些关于“空气”的习语，所以可能会在杂志的“文化”板块读到这篇文章。故选D。 B Throughout the history, people have wondered what it would be like to fly. The Chinese watched their kites move with the wind. The Greeks told stories of men who made wings to help them fly. People drew pictures of flying machines. But flying seemed impossible. In the late 1700s in France, the Montgolfier brothers noticed something about paper and fire. If paper got too close to the fire, it burned. But if the paper was above the fire, the hot smoke seemed to make it float (漂浮) and rise. So in 1783, they made a balloon out of paper and silk. They lit a fire under it. People were surprised when they sent a sheep, a duck and a rooster in this first hot air balloon. The animals had a successful flight. Soon after, another two men rode in a Montgolfier balloon, and they travelled more than 5 miles for 25 minutes. Other French people made balloons filled with a gas called hydrogen (氢气). Hydrogen can rise like hot air does. In 1785, Jean-Pierre Blanchard flew a gas balloon over the English Channel. Going ballooning became very popular. People tried flying balloons higher and farther than ever before. People also used balloons to carry messages in wars. Even today, people still join hot air balloon clubs and have fun taking rides in the sky. 49. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. People always wonder how to fly. B. The Chinese could move with wind. C. It’s easy to make flying machines. D. The Greeks had wings to help them. 50. What can we learn about the Montgolfier brothers? A. They made balloons with gas successfully. B. They used balloons to carry messages. C. They sent some animals in the first balloon. D. They flew 25 minutes in the first flight. 51. What can be the best title for this article? A. Ways of Making Balloons B. Uses of Hot Air Balloons C. History of Flying Balloons D. Secrets of Hot Air Balloons 【答案】49. A 50. C 51. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了热气球的历史。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Throughout the history, people have wondered what it would be like to fly.”可知人们总是想知道如何飞行。故选A。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So in 1783, they made a balloon out of paper and silk. They lit a fire under it. People were surprised when they sent a sheep, a duck and a rooster in this first hot air balloon.”可知他们在第一个热气球里放了一些动物。故选C。 【51题详解】 最佳标题题。本文讲述了热气球的历史。故选C。 C One of this year’s China Youth May Fourth Medal winners is 23-year-old swimmer Guo Jincheng. Guo’s experiences tell us that challenges don’t have to make us weak, they can make us strong. Guo lost both arms in an accident when he was about 6. He felt very sad at first and didn’t want to leave his room. However, he found that being in water gave him a feeling of coolness and comfort, which helped him forget his physical disabilities. At the age of 12, Guo began his journey as a swimmer. After years of training, Guo made his mark at the 2023 Para Swimming World Championships (锦标赛). He set a world record, with a time of 29.78 seconds in the men’s 50-metre freestyle, beating his own world record of 30.09 seconds set in the preliminaries (预赛). Two months later, at the Asian Paralympic Games in Hangzhou, he won three gold and three silver medals. He broke the Asian Paralympic record with a time of 30.01 seconds. This young man shows his confidence and hard work to the world. Swimming has changed Guo’s way of life. “Swimming is no longer just a job for me, it has given me a new life,” Guo said. 52.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了23岁的游泳运动员郭金城以及他获得的成就。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“One of this year’s China Youth May Fourth Medal winners is 23-year-old swimmer Guo Jincheng. Guo’s experiences tell us that challenges don’t have to make us weak, they can make us strong.”以及下文郭的经历可知郭金城是中国青年五四金牌得主之一，所以应是表达“挑战”不一定会让我们变得软弱，它们可以让我们变得强大。因此划线词是“挑战”，与difficulties意思接近。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“he found that being in water gave him a feeling of coolness and comfort, which helped him forget his physical disabilities.”可知水给他一种凉爽和舒适的感觉，能帮助他忘记了身体上的残疾。故选A。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“ He set a world record, with a time of 29.78 seconds in the men’s 50-metre freestyle, beating his own world record of 30.09 seconds set in the preliminaries.

He broke the Asian Paralympic record with a time of 30.01 seconds.”可知他创造了游泳记录。故选D。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要介绍了23岁的游泳运动员郭金城以及他获得的成就。所以作者的目的是介绍一位特殊的游泳选手。故选C。 D I was new to the school that autumn, and I was very nervous about my first football game for Giants. The other team Lions were strong and the game was really fun. Well, at least it was so until the end. I was really doing well. There were only four minutes left in the game. Suddenly, the ball stopped in front of my feet. My foot kicked it hard. It was a straight shot to the goal (球门). My teammates looked surprised. I guessed they had never seen such playing. However, I didn’t hear the loud cheers. I slowly found out what had happened. I had kicked the ball into the opposite goal. The next day at school was a nightmare (噩梦). “Hi, ‘Wrong Way’!” a kid shouted. I wanted to hide in the nearest hole. My morning classes were finally over. Then it was time for lunch. Oh, my! Lunchtime was sure to be another trouble. I got my lunch and sat down by myself. I didn’t even notice a girl sitting beside me until she spoke. “I saw the game yesterday” she said quietly. “You and the whole world,” I replied. “It wasn’t that bad,” she said. “Yes, I think so, if you were a player for Lions,” I joked. “I watched a lot of football games,” she said. “Good for you,” I said. I didn’t want to give her a chance to make fun of me. “My name is Mary,” she said. I said, “My name is ‘Wrong Way’, in case (以防) you haven’t heard.” “Do your parents call you that?” she asked. I answered, “No, they call me Mehra.” “Hey,” she said, “your name sounds a lot like mine. Mary and Mehra. They sound similar.” “Why do you care about our names?” I asked. “I’m trying to be friendly,” she said. “Sorry,” I said, “I guess I’m not feeling too friendly today.” Then she said, “Before my accident, I played on the school team.” I looked at the far side of her seat.

Today we are looking at some idioms about “air”. To be in the air If spring is “in the air”, it’s about to happen: “The birds are singing and it feels a little warmer—spring is exactly in the air.” To be walking on air It means to be very excited and happy because something good has happened to you. When she found out she would be a mother, she was walking on air. To be up in the air If a question or decision is “up in the air”, it is still not sure what is going to happen, and no decision has been taken. Here is an example. “They told me I might be sent to work in the UK soon, but at the moment the decision is still up in the air.” To clear the air If a discussion “clears the air”, it makes all the bad feelings go away because it gives everyone a chance to talk about their problems. For example, things had been tense (紧张) in the office for a long time, but the meeting we had last night really cleared the air. 46. Which of the following can describe “Summer holiday is coming”? A. Summer holiday is in the air. B. Summer holiday clears the air. C Summer holiday is up in the air. D. Summer holiday is walking on air. 47. What does “To clear the air” mean? A. Someone will be a mother. B. All the bad feelings go away. C. The weather becomes warmer. D. One decides to do something. 48. In which part of a magazine can we read this article? A. Travel. B. Health. C. Science. D. Culture. B Throughout the history, people have wondered what it would be like to fly. The Chinese watched their kites move with the wind. The Greeks told stories of men who made wings to help them fly. People drew pictures of flying machines. But flying seemed impossible. In the late 1700s in France, the Montgolfier brothers noticed something about paper and fire. If paper got too close to the fire, it burned. But if the paper was above the fire, the hot smoke seemed to make it float (漂浮) and rise. So in 1783, they made a balloon out of paper and silk. They lit a fire under it. People were surprised when they sent a sheep, a duck and a rooster in this first hot air balloon. The animals had a successful flight. Soon after, another two men rode in a Montgolfier balloon, and they travelled more than 5 miles for 25 minutes. Other French people made balloons filled with a gas called hydrogen (氢气). Hydrogen can rise like hot air does. In 1785, Jean-Pierre Blanchard flew a gas balloon over the English Channel. Going ballooning became very popular. People tried flying balloons higher and farther than ever before. People also used balloons to carry messages in wars. Even today people still join hot air balloon clubs and have fun taking rides in the sky. 49. What can we know from paragraph 1? A. People always wonder how to fly. B. The Chinese could move with wind. C. It’s easy to make flying machines. D. The Greeks had wings to help them. 50. What can we learn about the Montgolfier brothers? A. They made balloons with gas successfully. B. They used balloons to carry messages. C. They sent some animals in the first balloon. D. They flew 25 minutes in the first flight. 51. What can be the best title for this article? A. Ways of Making Balloons B. Uses of Hot Air Balloons C. History of Flying Balloons D. Secrets of Hot Air Balloons C One of this year’s China Youth May Fourth Medal winners is 23-year-old swimmer Guo Jincheng. Guo’s experiences tell us that challenges don’t have to make us weak, they can make us strong. Guo lost both arms in an accident when he was about 6. He felt very sad at first and didn’t want to leave his room. However, he found that being in water gave him a feeling of coolness and comfort, which helped him forget his physical disabilities. At the age of 12, Guo began his journey as a swimmer. After years of training, Guo made his mark at the 2023 Para Swimming World Championships (锦标赛). He set a world record, with a time of 29.78 seconds in the men’s 50-metre freestyle, beating his own world record of 30.09 seconds set in the preliminaries (预赛). Two months later, at the Asian Paralympic Games in Hangzhou, he won three gold and three silver medals. He broke the Asian Paralympic record with a time of 30.01 seconds. This young man shows his confidence and hard work to the world. Swimming has changed Guo’s way of life. “Swimming is no longer just a job for me, it has given me a new life,” Guo said. 52.

D I was new to the school that autumn, and I was very nervous about my first football game for Giants. The other team Lions were strong and the game was really fun. Well, at least it was so until the end. I was really doing well. There were only four minutes left in the game. Suddenly, the ball stopped in front of my feet. My foot kicked it hard. It was a straight shot to the goal (球门). My teammates looked surprised. I guessed they had never seen such playing. However, I didn’t hear the loud cheers. I slowly found out what had happened. I had kicked the ball into the opposite goal. The next day at school was a nightmare (噩梦). “Hi, ‘Wrong Way’!” a kid shouted. I wanted to hide in the nearest hole. My morning classes were finally over. Then it was time for lunch. Oh, my! Lunchtime was sure to be another trouble. I got my lunch and sat down by myself. I didn’t even notice a girl sitting beside me until she spoke. “I saw the game yesterday,” she said quietly. “You and the whole world,” I replied. “It wasn’t that bad,” she said. “Yes, I think so, if you were a player for Lions,” I joked. “I watched a lot of football games,” she said. “Good for you,” I said. I didn’t want to give her a chance to make fun of me. “My name is Mary,” she said. I said, “My name is ‘Wrong Way’, in case (以防) you haven’t heard.” “Do your parents call you that?” she asked. I answered, “No, they call me Mehra.” “Hey,” she said, “your name sounds a lot like mine. Mary and Mehra. They sound similar.” “Why do you care about our names?” I asked. “I’m trying to be friendly,” she said. “Sorry,” I said, “I guess I’m not feeling too friendly today.” Then she said, “Before my accident, I played on the school team.” I looked at the far side of her seat. Two crutches (拐杖) leaned against the table. Now I really felt bad about being so rude to her. “Sorry,” I said. “What happened?” “I fell off a tree,” she said. “I miss football. However, I’ll be well soon, and I’ll be back on the team this spring.” Then Mary said, “You are a very good player. You are quick on your feet, and you keep your eye on the ball. If you fall off a horse, you should get right back on.” I looked at her face. She seemed serious. It made me feel good about myself. I finally knew what I should do next. 56.
