(古代美洲人重视黄金的精神力量。)”以及“This collection is without equal in the world.(这个收藏在世界上无与伦比。)”提到了古代美洲人对于黄金的精神崇拜，那么藏品具有黄金特色，且这组藏品无与伦比，应是很精致的；而“Glassell Collection of Africa”部分内容“The Glassell Collection of African Gold is considered the finest of its kind in the world, and it is the largest collection of African gold in an American museum.(格拉塞尔非洲黄金收藏被认为是世界上同类藏品中最好的，也是美国博物馆中最大的非洲黄金收藏。)”中同样提及了该藏品是黄金收藏。由此可推知，两个主题的作品的共同点是都以含有黄金的精美艺术品为特色。故选C项。 B Discovering a hobby can lead to amazing results, as Maria Martinez, an 11-year-old with a heart of gold, has proven. Just over a year ago, Maria came across the world of clothes-making, thanks to one of the Christmas gifts she received. Little did she know that this newfound ability would become a source of joy and purpose, not just for her, but also for countless furry friends. “I got a gift permit at Christmas to start clothes-making lessons,” Maria said. “I really liked it.” After mastering the basics, an idea came to her mind during a visit to a local exhibition. Surrounded by pet owners and their pets, Maria had an idea that would change lives. Why not create lovely bandannas (头巾) for dogs and cats and use them to support animal shelters? With great interest and the support of her grandmother, Maria turned a corner of their home into a busy working room. Together, they made many beautiful bandannas, each one filled with love and care. But Maria’s wish went far beyond creating decorations. She began donating her works to shelters like Claws Forever in Fall River, hoping to catch the eye of some people who can take these dogs and cats home. Maria also began selling them through word-of-mouth and at various events. “At first she started just donating the bandannas because it took her much time to make them. Then she got more skilled and was able to buy cloth with some extra income that she was making from it,” her mom, Crystal, said. “Maria is a really kind giving person and she doesn’t want for much of anything. It makes her feel good to donate. We are proud of her.” Ranging from $3 to $7, money from her sales is now donated to shelters, too. A few weeks ago, she donated more than $200 to the Kingston Animal Shelter. “They were happy and really grateful, which made me feel really good inside,” said Maria. “It makes me happy to see how it’s impacted the people and dogs.” 4. What makes it possible for Maria to start her charity? A. Her love for dogs. B. Her clothes-making skills. C. The joy of receiving gifts. D. Grandma’s suggestion. 5. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Christmas gifts. B. Pet owners. C. Dogs and cats. D. Lovely bandannas. 6. Why does Maria give decorations to shelters? A. To make herself known to more people. B. To protect dogs and cats from the cold. C. To attract more people to take in the animals. D. To help rescue homeless dogs in the streets. 7. What is Crystal's attitude to Maria's behavior? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Mixed. D. Worried. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公玛丽亚出于对狗和猫动物的爱使她开始她的慈善事业的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“After mastering the basics, an idea came to her mind during a visit to a local exhibition.Surrounded by pet owners and their pets, Maria had an idea that would change lives. Why not create lovely bandannas (头巾) for dogs and cats and use them to support animal shelters?”（掌握了基本知识后，在参观当地的一个展览时，她想到了一个主意。在宠物主人和他们的宠物的包围下，玛丽亚有了一个可以改变生活的想法。为什么不为狗和猫制作可爱的大手帕，并用它们来支持动物收容所呢？）以及最后一段中““It makes me happy to see how it’s impacted the people and dogs.””（“看到它对人们和狗的影响，我很高兴。”）可推知，玛丽亚对狗的爱使她开始她的慈善事业。故选A项。 5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“Why not create lovely bandannas for dogs and cats…”（为什么不为狗和猫制作可爱的大手帕……）由此可知，此处划线单词them指的是上文提到的“可爱的大手帕”。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“But Maria’s wish went far beyond creating decorations. She began donating her works to shelters like Claws Forever in Fall River, hoping to catch the eye of some people who can take these dogs and cats home.”（但玛丽亚的愿望远不止制作装饰品。她开始将自己的作品捐赠给福尔河的“Claws Forever in Fall River”等收容所，希望能吸引一些人的注意，让他们把这些猫狗带回家。）可知，玛丽亚装饰收容所是为了吸引更多的人来收养动物。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Then she got more skilled and was able to buy cloth with some extra income that she was making from it,” her mom, Crystal, said. “Maria is a really kind giving person and she doesn’t want for much of anything. It makes her feel good to donate. We are proud of her.” Ranging from $3 to $7, money from her sales is now donated to shelters, too. A few weeks ago, she donated more than $200 to the Kingston Animal Shelter.”（后来她变得更熟练了，可以用一些额外的收入来买布料，”她的母亲克里斯托说。“玛丽亚是一个非常善良的人，她不想要太多的东西。捐款让她感觉很好。我们为她感到骄傲。”从3美元到7美元不等，她的销售所得现在也捐给了收容所。几周前，她向金斯顿动物收容所捐赠了200多美元。）可推知，克里斯托对玛丽亚的行为持支持的态度。故选A项。 C An American company is preparing to use a series of driverless trucks to transport goods on a major public highway. Aurora Innovation says it plans to begin the service later this year in Texas with 20 trucks. The trucks will drive back and forth to transport goods between the cities of Dallas and Houston. The company says it hopes to increase the service to thousands of trucks within three to four years. Aurora says the transportation method could operate 24 hours a day. It aims to speed up the process and possibly save on transportation costs. Aurora will continue testing for the next nine months. If all goes well, as it has so far, the driverless program will begin after that. At first, the trucks will be carrying goods for FedEx and other transportation partners between the companies’ processing centers. Since 2021, Aurora trucks have already carried goods for over 1 million kilometers on public roads. But those vehicles all had human safety drivers sitting inside. The company said there had been three accidents related to those trucks. And it said all of the accidents were the result of mistakes by human drivers of other vehicles. The accidents were not serious and no one was hurt in them. And in each case, the Aurora truck was able to safely pull off to the side of the road. Progress in the US on driverless technology has slowed in recent years. Several companies have already made plans to start self-driving taxi services in big cities. But those efforts have repeatedly been put off. Aurora and other companies believe that years of testing proves that their trucks will actually be safer than human-driven ones. They note that the vehicles’ advanced sensors (传感器) can “see” farther than any human eyes can. And the trucks never get tired as humans do. They also are not affected by alcohol or drugs. 8. What do we know about the test of the driverless program? A. It is getting along smoothly. B. It has received lots of complaints. C. It has been conducted throughout America. D. It is far from satisfactory. 9. Which of the following was responsible for the Aurora truck accidents? A. Careless passers-by. B. Other vehicles’ human drivers. C. Drivers in Aurora trucks. D. The imperfect system of the trucks. 10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The advantages of driverless trucks. B. The weaknesses of traditional trucks. C. The development of driverless vehicles. D. The technology used in the driverless trucks. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Driverless Trucks Save Transportation Costs B. Driverless Technology Is Developing Slowly C. Driverless Trucks Will Appear on US Highways D. Driverless Trucks Will Replace Regular Ones in US 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家美国公司计划在德州使用无人驾驶卡车运输货物，目标今年推出20辆，未来几年扩展至数千辆。这些卡车将全天候运行，旨在提高效率和降低成本。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If all goes well, as it has so far, the driverless program will begin after that. (如果一切顺利，就像目前为止那样，无人驾驶计划将在那之后启动)”可知，无人驾驶项目的测试现在进展顺利。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“And it said all of the accidents were the result of mistakes by human drivers of other vehicles. (该公司表示，所有事故都是由其他车辆的人类驾驶员的失误造成的)”可知，其他车辆的人类驾驶员对这些卡车事故负有责任。故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Aurora and other companies believe that years of testing proves that their trucks will actually be safer than human-driven ones. They note that the vehicles’ advanced sensors (传感器) can “see” farther than any human eyes can. And the trucks never get tired as humans do. They also are not affected by alcohol or drugs. (Aurora和其他公司相信，多年的测试证明，他们的卡车实际上比人类驾驶的卡车更安全。他们指出，无人驾驶汽车的先进传感器比任何人的眼睛都能“看”得更远。而且卡车永远不会像人类那样疲劳。他们也不受酒精或毒品的影响)”可知，本段主要介绍了相比于人类驾驶的卡车，无人驾驶卡车具有的众多优势。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“An American company is preparing to use a series of driverless trucks to transport goods on a major public highway. Aurora Innovation says it plans to begin the service later this year in Texas with 20 trucks. The trucks will drive back and forth to transport goods between the cities of Dallas and Houston. (一家美国公司正准备使用一系列无人驾驶卡车在一条主要的公共公路上运输货物。Aurora Innovation表示，他们计划今年晚些时候在德克萨斯州推出20辆卡车。这些卡车将在达拉斯和休斯敦之间往返运输货物)”可知，文章主要介绍了一家美国公司计划在德州使用无人驾驶卡车运输货物，目标今年推出20辆，未来几年扩展至数千辆，还包括它们的测试、安全记录和优势等情况。因此，C项“无人驾驶卡车将出现在美国高速公路上”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D Do you know anything about galaxies (星系)? Are you interested in them? How many galaxies can you name? Researchers have identified two ancient star groups that appear to be among the Milky Way Galaxy’s earliest parts. The groups are named after the Hindu gods Shakti and Shiva. They were discovered using observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope (望远镜). Scientists wrote in a study that the groups might be the remains of two galaxies that united with the early pieces of the Milky Way 12 billion years ago. They say the discovery offers new information about how our galaxy formed. The Milky Way Galaxy is made up of hundreds of billions of stars. It is a large, flat circle about 100,000 light years across. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Experts say the study might have identified the last event before the Milky Way Galaxy began to take the shape it has today. The European Space Agency sent up Gaia in 2013. The space telescope is helping to create the largest and most complete 3D map of the Milky Way Galaxy. Gaia is gauging the positions, distances, and movements of the stars. This data enabled researchers to find Shakti and Shiva. The study builds on another recent discovery. In 2022, scientists using Gaia data identified what they called the “poor old heart” of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is made up of a population of stars from the earliest period of the galaxy found near its center. The stars that make up Shiva and Shakti are different chemically from most of the Milky Way Galaxy’s other stars. They are called “metal poor” because of the amount of heavy element s they contain. For example, the stars have less iron, carbon, and oxygen than similar stars in other parts of the galaxy. Heavier elements first formed inside the universe’s earliest population of stars. When these stars blew up at the end of their life cycles, the elements were then sent out into space. 12. What’s the author's purpose in raising the questions in the first paragraph? A. To raise some doubts. B. To introduce the topic. C. To make a survey about galaxies. D. To encourage readers to research galaxies. 13. What can be learnt from paragraph 3? A. The size of the Milky Way Galaxy. B. The forming time of the Milky Way Galaxy. C. The events the Milky Way Galaxy has experienced. D. The tools the scientists used to make the discovery. 14. What does the underlined word “gauging” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Following. B. Connecting. C. Measuring. D. Controlling. 15 How do the newly discovered star groups differ from the others? A. They have a larger weight. B. They take a strange shape. C. They are further away from Earth. D. They contain less amount of heavy elements. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇介绍了。主要介绍了研究人员已经确定了两个古老的恒星群，它们似乎是银河系最早的部分。这些恒星群是以印度教神Shakti和Shiva的名字命名的。它们是通过欧洲航天局盖亚太空望远镜的观测发现的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you know anything about galaxies (星系)? Are you interested in them? How many galaxies can you name? Researchers have identified two ancient star groups that appear to be among the Milky Way Galaxy’s earliest parts. The groups are named after the Hindu gods Shakti and Shiva. They were discovered using observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope (望远镜).”（你了解星系吗？你对他们感兴趣吗？你能说出多少个星系的名字？研究人员已经确定了两个古老的恒星群，它们似乎是银河系最早的部分。这两个团体以印度教神沙克提和湿婆的名字命名。它们是通过欧洲航天局盖亚太空望远镜的观测发现的。）可推知，作者在第一段提出问题的目的是引入话题。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It is a large, flat circle about 100,000 light years across. A light year is the distance light travels in a year.”（它是一个大而平的圆，直径约10万光年。一光年是光在一年内传播的距离。）可知，从第三段可以了解到银河系的大小。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“The space telescope is helping to create the largest and most complete 3D map of the Milky Way Galaxy.”（这架太空望远镜正在帮助绘制银河系最大、最完整的3D地图。）以及“This data enabled researchers to find Shakti and Shiva.”（这些数据使研究人员能够找到Shakti和Shiva。）由此可知，此处为Gaia正在测量恒星的位置、距离和运动。故可猜测划线单词gauging为“测量”的意思，结合选项C项Measuring“测量”意思一致。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They are called “metal poor” because of the amount of heavy element s they contain. For example, the stars have less iron, carbon, and oxygen than similar stars in other parts of the galaxy.”（它们被称为“贫金属”，因为它们含有的重元素的量。例如，这些恒星的铁、碳和氧含量比银河系其他地方的类似恒星要少。）可知，新发现的星团与其他星团的不同之处是它们含有较少的重元素。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能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。 While traveling, it’s important to do it in a way that preserves these natural attractions for the next generation to enjoy as well. It’s always a good idea to travel in an environmentally friendly way. ____16____ The following are some tips for eco-friendly travel.

This will discover the problems behind the label. Research is absolutely important because there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in this business. You wouldn’t just buy a car from an ad without understanding what it was or comparing it to others. Fly less and fly direct When you fly, make it count. Use long-distance flights when necessary. But change to more eco-friendly choices for more local destinations. ____19____ By traveling over land, one can cut carbon emissions (碳排放) by as much as 50 percent or 80 percent. Stay local and buy local Another way to cut down on flights is to get in touch with the local community. ____20____ And it can help travelers really understand how life works in that community. Staying local can cut down on travel emissions, and joining in the local community can also reduce a tourist’s cultural and environmental impact. A. Some destinations have overnight trains. B.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章作者围绕“环保旅游”这一主题，给出了几个建议或方法，旨在帮助读者以更环保的方式旅行，以保护自然环境供后代人继续欣赏。 【16题详解】 根据上文内容“While traveling, it’s important to do it in a way that preserves these natural attractions for the next generation to enjoy as well. It’s always a good idea to travel in an environmentally friendly way.(在旅行时，重要的是要以一种保护这些自然景点的方式，让下一代也能享受。以环保的方式旅行总是一个好主意)”可知，上文提出环保的旅游方式。选项C“That lets one both tour nature and protect nature.(这样既可以游览自然又可以保护自然。)”指出，环保的旅游方式既可以游览自然又可以保护自然。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据空后的“There are a few ways to do the research and find out which labels are really environmentally friendly.(有几种方法可以做研究，找出哪些标签是真正环保的)”可推测，并不是所有的标签是真正环保的。选项B“However, not all these labels are really honest.(然而，并不是所有的标签都是诚实的。)”与下文内容相符，指出并不是所有的标签都是诚实的，所以我们需要做研究，从而找出真正环保的标签。故选B。 【18题详解】 根下文内容“Wise travelers can research, ask, or talk to travel companies. This will discover the problems behind the label. Research is absolutely important because there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in this business.(明智的旅行者可以研究、询问或与旅游公司交谈。这将发现标签背后的问题。研究是绝对重要的，因为在这个行业里有很多烟雾和镜子)”可知，标签也未必可信。选项G“Although some companies have green labels, we don’t quite know for sure.(虽然有些公司有绿色标签，但我们不太确定。)”与下文内容相符，指出标签未必可信，所以我们需要研究、询问或与旅游公司交谈。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据下文“By traveling over land, one can cut carbon emissions (碳排放) by as much as 50 percent or 80 percent.(通过陆路旅行，可以减少50%或80%的碳排放)”可知，下文提到陆地旅行的碳排放和飞机旅行相比要少得多。选项F“Trains and buses produce much less carbon emissions than airplanes do.(火车和公共汽车产生的碳排放量比飞机少得多。)”与下文内容相符，指出火车和公共汽车产生的碳排放量比飞机少得多。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据下文内容“And it can help travelers really understand how life works in that community. Staying local can cut down on travel emissions, and joining in the local community can also reduce a tourist’s cultural and environmental impact. (它可以帮助旅行者真正了解那个社区的生活是如何运作的。住在当地可以减少旅行排放，加入当地社区也可以减少游客对文化和环境的影响)”可知，下文提到“这可以帮助旅行者真正了解那个社区的生活方式”，说明空处指的是待在一个地方，这样可以让旅行者深入了解这个社区。选项D“It is recommended that travelers stay in one location longer.(建议旅行者在一个地方停留更长时间。)”与下文内容一致，指的是当旅行者在一个地方停留很久后，就可以更多了解这个地方。故选D。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和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。 This is an inspiring story.

A sudden sound awakened her. She got up and slowly approached the bus, as people aboard impatiently waited for her to get on quickly so the bus could start soon. Barbara looked around for an empty seat but found none and nobody wanted to give their seat to her. As the helpless woman looked toward the farther corner of the bus, she saw a little boy waving at her, smiling. Barbara thought the boy had mistaken her for someone else. Minutes later, he pushed through the crowd, held her hand and took her to his seat. Barbara sat down and thanked the boy. A young woman near her smiled and said, “It’s okay. David was just doing his job!” She introduced herself as the boy’s mother, Kristen. Then a conversation started between them, from which Barbara learnt more about the mother and son. In fact, the boy’s father died two years ago, leaving the mother with a great debt (债务) to pay and five little kids to feed. Every day was already a terrible struggle for them. To make matters worse, the youngest son of the family, Kevin, fell seriously ill and was battling for his life in the hospital now. A strange feeling of sadness and pity struck Barbara. Moved by the single mother’s story, Barbara wanted to help. She felt Kristen was like her when she was at Kristen’s age: her husband and daughter died of illness many years ago. 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。 So Barbara asked Kristen how she might help her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Barbara arrived at the hospital with a box of money. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 So Barbara asked Kristen how she might help her. Kristen hesitated for a moment, unsure if it was appropriate to accept help from a stranger. But seeing the kindness in Barbara’s eyes, she reluctantly shared her struggles. “The hospital bills are piling up, and with my husband gone, I’m struggling to keep up,” Kristen explained, her voice shaking with emotion. “And Kevin’s treatment...it’s so expensive. I don’t know how much longer we can hold on.” Barbara listened intently, her heart heavy with sadness. She knew she had to do something. “Please, let me help,” Barbara said firmly. “I’ll do whatever I can to ease your burden.” The next day, Barbara arrived at the hospital with a box of money. It was the result of her life savings, a small fortune she had been saving for a rainy day, but now she knew exactly where it needed to go. Kristen was surprised and overwhelmed when she saw Barbara enter the hospital room, her eyes brimming with tears of gratitude. “This is too much,” Kristen protested, but Barbara shook her head. “It’s not enough to cover everything, but it’s a start,” she said softly. “And I’ll keep looking for ways to help. Kevin deserves every chance to get better.” As Barbara left the hospital, she felt a sense of purpose she hadn’t felt in years. She realized that by helping others, she was finding her own purpose in life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了73岁的芭芭拉在公交车上遇到了克里斯汀带着她的儿子大卫，在得知了她的小儿子凯文得了重病后，芭芭拉伸出了援手，帮助了克里斯汀。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“于是芭芭拉问克里斯汀她可以如何帮助她”可知，第一段可描写克里斯汀坦白自己的困境，寻求帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，芭芭拉带着一箱钱来到医院”可知，第二段可描写芭芭拉带着钱来医院帮助克里斯汀以及芭芭拉的感悟。 2.续写线索：询问情况——叙述情况——提出帮助——克里斯汀感动——芭芭拉感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进入：enter/get into ②缓解：ease/relieve ③接受：accept/embrace 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②悲伤：sadness/sorrow 【点睛】[高分句型1] Kristen hesitated for a moment, unsure if it was appropriate to accept help from a stranger.

The Museum’s African art collection features masks (面具), statues, headdresses, cloths, and objects from a variety of regions, cultures, and countries. The most famous one is a metal head of a king from the Court of Benin. Many artworks were created to strengthen the position and power of the rulers, or to symbolize position. Others honor ancestors. Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia The arts include those from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and other South Pacific Islands that make up a region once called “Oceania”. The ocean has shaped these peoples and their art. Many works were made from wood and plants, and decorated with paint, feathers, and shells. Valuable objects were also carved from stone. Glassell Collection of Ancient America Gold played an important role in ancient Central and South America. Ancient Americans valued gold for its spiritual power. Gold was considered to be part of the sun and had its energy. This collection is without equal in the world. Glassell Collection of Africa From ancient times, gold was a symbol of wealth and power, and gold artworks were highly prized. On Africa’s west coast, gold was rich. Chiefs used gold works to prove power and respect, and to promote political unity. The Glassell Collection of African Gold is considered the finest of its kind in the world, and it is the largest collection of African gold in an American museum. 1.

B Discovering a hobby can lead to amazing results, as Maria Martinez, an 11-year-old with a heart of gold, has proven. Just over a year ago, Maria came across the world of clothes-making, thanks to one of the Christmas gifts she received. Little did she know that this newfound ability would become a source of joy and purpose, not just for her, but also for countless furry friends. “I got a gift permit at Christmas to start clothes-making lessons,” Maria said. “I really liked it.” After mastering the basics, an idea came to her mind during a visit to a local exhibition. Surrounded by pet owners and their pets, Maria had an idea that would change lives. Why not create lovely bandannas (头巾) for dogs and cats and use them to support animal shelters? With great interest and the support of her grandmother, Maria turned a corner of their home into a busy working room. Together, they made many beautiful bandannas, each one filled with love and care. But Maria’s wish went far beyond creating decorations. She began donating her works to shelters like Claws Forever in Fall River, hoping to catch the eye of some people who can take these dogs and cats home. Maria also began selling them through word-of-mouth and at various events. “At first she started just donating the bandannas because it took her much time to make them. Then she got more skilled and was able to buy cloth with some extra income that she was making from it,” her mom, Crystal, said. “Maria is a really kind giving person and she doesn’t want for much of anything. It makes her feel good to donate. We are proud of her.” Ranging from $3 to $7, money from her sales is now donated to shelters, too. A few weeks ago, she donated more than $200 to the Kingston Animal Shelter. “They were happy and really grateful, which made me feel really good inside,” said Maria. “It makes me happy to see how it’s impacted the people and dogs.” 4 What makes it possible for Maria to start her charity? A. Her love for dogs. B. Her clothes-making skills. C. The joy of receiving gifts. D. Grandma’s suggestion. 5. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Christmas gifts. B. Pet owners. C. Dogs and cats. D. Lovely bandannas. 6. Why does Maria give decorations to shelters? A. To make herself known to more people. B. To protect dogs and cats from the cold. C. To attract more people to take in the animals. D. To help rescue homeless dogs in the streets. 7. What is Crystal's attitude to Maria's behavior? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Mixed. D. Worried. C An American company is preparing to use a series of driverless trucks to transport goods on a major public highway. Aurora Innovation says it plans to begin the service later this year in Texas with 20 trucks. The trucks will drive back and forth to transport goods between the cities of Dallas and Houston. The company says it hopes to increase the service to thousands of trucks within three to four years. Aurora says the transportation method could operate 24 hours a day. It aims to speed up the process and possibly save on transportation costs. Aurora will continue testing for the next nine months. If all goes well, as it has so far, the driverless program will begin after that. At first, the trucks will be carrying goods for FedEx and other transportation partners between the companies’ processing centers. Since 2021, Aurora trucks have already carried goods for over 1 million kilometers on public roads. But those vehicles all had human safety drivers sitting inside. The company said there had been three accidents related to those trucks. And it said all of the accidents were the result of mistakes by human drivers of other vehicles. The accidents were not serious and no one was hurt in them. And in each case, the Aurora truck was able to safely pull off to the side of the road. Progress in the US on driverless technology has slowed in recent years. Several companies have already made plans to start self-driving taxi services in big cities. But those efforts have repeatedly been put off. Aurora and other companies believe that years of testing proves that their trucks will actually be safer than human-driven ones. They note that the vehicles’ advanced sensors (传感器) can “see” farther than any human eyes can. And the trucks never get tired as humans do. They also are not affected by alcohol or drugs. 8. What do we know about the test of the driverless program? A. It is getting along smoothly. B. It has received lots of complaints. C. It has been conducted throughout America. D. It is far from satisfactory. 9. Which of the following was responsible for the Aurora truck accidents? A. Careless passers-by. B. Other vehicles’ human drivers. C. Drivers in Aurora trucks. D. The imperfect system of the trucks. 10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The advantages of driverless trucks. B. The weaknesses of traditional trucks. C. The development of driverless vehicles. D. The technology used in the driverless trucks. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Driverless Trucks Save Transportation Costs B. Driverless Technology Is Developing Slowly C. Driverless Trucks Will Appear on US Highways D. Driverless Trucks Will Replace Regular Ones in US D Do you know anything about galaxies (星系)? Are you interested in them? How many galaxies can you name? Researchers have identified two ancient star groups that appear to be among the Milky Way Galaxy’s earliest parts. The groups are named after the Hindu gods Shakti and Shiva. They were discovered using observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope (望远镜). Scientists wrote in a study that the groups might be the remains of two galaxies that united with the early pieces of the Milky Way 12 billion years ago. They say the discovery offers new information about how our galaxy formed. The Milky Way Galaxy is made up of hundreds of billions of stars. It is a large, flat circle about 100,000 light years across. A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Experts say the study might have identified the last event before the Milky Way Galaxy began to take the shape it has today. The European Space Agency sent up Gaia in 2013. The space telescope is helping to create the largest and most complete 3D map of the Milky Way Galaxy. Gaia is gauging the positions, distances, and movements of the stars. This data enabled researchers to find Shakti and Shiva. The study builds on another recent discovery. In 2022, scientists using Gaia data identified what they called the “poor old heart” of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is made up of a population of stars from the earliest period of the galaxy found near its center. The stars that make up Shiva and Shakti are different chemically from most of the Milky Way Galaxy’s other stars. They are called “metal poor” because of the amount of heavy element s they contain. For example, the stars have less iron, carbon, and oxygen than similar stars in other parts of the galaxy. Heavier elements first formed inside the universe’s earliest population of stars.

A sudden sound awakened her. She got up and slowly approached the bus, as people aboard impatiently waited for her to get on quickly so the bus could start soon. Barbara looked around for an empty seat but found none and nobody wanted to give their seat to her. As the helpless woman looked toward the farther corner of the bus, she saw a little boy waving at her, smiling. Barbara thought the boy had mistaken her for someone else. Minutes later, he pushed through the crowd, held her hand and took her to his seat. Barbara sat down and thanked the boy. A young woman near her smiled and said, “It’s okay. David was just doing his job!” She introduced herself as the boy’s mother, Kristen. Then a conversation started between them, from which Barbara learnt more about the mother and son. In fact, the boy’s father died two years ago, leaving the mother with a great debt (债务) to pay and five little kids to feed. Every day was already a terrible struggle for them. To make matters worse, the youngest son of the family, Kevin, fell seriously ill and was battling for his life in the hospital now. A strange feeling of sadness and pity struck Barbara. Moved by the single mother’s story, Barbara wanted to help. She felt Kristen was like her when she was at Kristen’s age: her husband and daughter died of illness many years ago. 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。 So Barbara asked Kristen how she might help her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Barbara arrived at the hospital with a box of money. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
