Within 60 seconds of hearing a bell ring, firefighters are dressed and rushing toward a high-rise on fire. They have to head inside, knowing that floors could fall down under them and roofs could fall on their heads. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would sign up for a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. He used to sit in a high-rise office of a software company in San Diego, California. Now he is trained to break into rooms full of blinding smoke and overwhelming heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted to learn new and practical skills and have a job that varied day by day.” That’s quite an understatement to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while attacking a fire. But Telfer says that fires and tension can be conquered in the same way: ongoing physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college but nowadays he builds up his lung ability for life-threatening conditions instead of races. He might climb hundreds of steps, wearing 34 kilograms of gear (装备), including oxygen tanks. He may carry sufferers to safety. No matter what he does, he must control his breathing.
His survival will depend on more than body fitness. Firefighters must have sufficient mental preparation. To respond to disasters effectively, they study a wide range of subjects such as emergency (紧急) medicine, structural (结构的) design and chemical reactions. They practice quickly judging the changing conditions of a fire. “It is why we love the job,” Telfer says. “We are continuously learning.”
Going from being a software specialist to a first responder was quite a transition for Telfer. Never could he have imagined the challenges he would face. But he says, “Not once have I ever felt that it was not the right job for me.” Danger might be waiting as he heads to work each day. But his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the roar of a great fire.
4. Why did Telfer change his job?
A. He would like to challenge himself. B. He wanted to get a high paying job.
C. He had been dreaming of being a firefighter. D. He was unfit for working in a software company.
5. What do firefighters need to survive the fire?
A. They need strong lung ability for races.
B. They need to study how to design buildings.
C. They need more body health than mental preparation.
D. They need mental preparation in addition to body health.
6. What can we learn about Telfer from the last paragraph?
A. He regrets leaving the software company.
B. He has faced many difficulties in his former job.
C. He finds his job challenging but still a right choice.
D. He once thought of giving up the job as a firefighter.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Firefighting Hero B. Firefighters To The Rescue
C. Firefighter: A Challenging Job D. From A Software Specialist To A First Responder
C
Out of a total of 308,000 entries in the Oxford English Dictionary, just 366 words begin with the letter “x”, and very few of those make it into most people’s vocabulary. However, the letter is welcomed in popular culture and by brands, such as X-Files, X-Factor, X-man, X-rays and Planet X.
The letter “x” has had somewhat puzzling history, perhaps contributing to its malleable (可塑的) meanings. It first came from a Phoenician letter called “samekh”, meaning fish. The Creeks borrowed it, called it “Chi”, used it for the “kh” sound and wrote it as a cross. The Romans later adopted the “x” sound from Chalcidian alphabet (字母表), a Western variant of the Greek alphabet, and combined it with the “Chi” (x) symbol and “x” as we know it today was born.
The tech industry seems to have a particular preference for the letter. This week, the 24th letter of the alphabet was the focus of the spotlight once again, as Elon Musk announced an unexpected rename of Twitter — the social media company he bought in October 2022 for $44 bn. The site’s iconic(图标的) blue bird logo is no more, replaced by a black letter “X”, part of Musk’s long-term plan to be a “platform that can deliver, well... everything.” And he also named an early Tesla car Model X, and his space exploration programme Space X.
Besides Musk’s X , there’s Microsoft’s gaming console Xbox, Sony’s Xperia smartphone, Apple’s iPhone X and operating system OS X. In 2010, Google chose the letter for the name of its secret idea-testing laboratory, first known as Google x and now simply X.
So why do the tech giants prefer “x”, this one single letter, when there are 25 others they could use instead? Tony Thorne, Director of the Slang and New Language Archive at King’s College, London, thought its shape can signify everything from love (the kiss we used to end our emails and texts), to absence, and even death (as with the skull and crossbones). “It’s impressive and people see it as an attempt to appear enigmatic — a symbol of unknowns and possibilities,” he tells BBC Culture.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. How the letter “x” changed the history.
B. How the letter “x” was created by the Greeks.
C. How the letter “x” developed and came into being.
D. How the letter “x” was originally used by Phoenicians.
9. Why are other tech companies mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the importance of the letter.
B. To list the reasons why they prefer the letter.
C. To further show tech companies favor the letter.
D. To provide the historical background of the letter.
10. What does the underlined word “enigmatic” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Attractive. B. Mysterious. C. Typical. D. Intelligent.
11. What can we know about the letter “x”?
A. Its shape seldom appears in our daily life.
B. It’s powerful and charming in the tech industry.
C. Words that begin with the letter are widely used.
D. The sounds of the letter are the same through history.

Ruby was ever so proud of her new skates! She put them on right away and was soon rushing along the sidewalk. Her little brother Max could only watch in envy (羡慕). “I wish I had a pair!”, he told his mum. “Well, you’re nearly big enough to wear Ruby’s old skates,” she replied. “Oh, can I?” Max asked.
But when Max tried on Ruby’s old skates, they were too big. “You’ll just have to wait until you’ve grown up a bit,” said his mum. But Max couldn’t wait. He filled newspaper into the boots until they fitted and then tried to stand up in them again ... and again! Each time, he fell over. Finally, he gave up and sat on the ground, watching Ruby as she skated around him.
“We should put on a skating display!” Ruby decided. “All our aunts uncles and cousins will come. You’ll watch me, won’t you, Max?” Max sighed (叹气). He didn’t want to watch the show! He wanted to be in it!
“Poor Max!” said his mum. “Look what I’ve got!” She held up a pair of thick red socks. “If you put these on, the skates will fit better.” Max pulled the socks on, and then his skates. When he stood up shakily, he was sure he would fall over again - and he did.
“Maybe you’ve tried enough for today?” suggested his mum. It started to rain. When he got inside, Max pulled off his thick socks. “It’s funny. They look very small now!” he said. “Yes, they’re magic socks,” his mum replied with a smile. Max asked, “Really?!” “Yes,” she said. “They stretch (拉伸) to fit most feet…”
When mum left the room, Max put the socks on and tried skating in his bedroom. He didn’t fall over! He tried again. He still didn’t fall. He could now skate — thanks to his magic socks! Hooray! How he longed to go out and show everyone ... but it was still raining.
In fact, it rained non-stop for days, and Max spent that time practising his skating in his bedroom. He even tried tricks like jumps and turns, knowing his magic socks would help him. It was brilliant!
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。
The day of the show finally arrived.

Within 60 seconds of hearing a bell ring, firefighters are dressed and rushing toward a high-rise on fire. They have to head inside, knowing that floors could fall down under them and roofs could fall on their heads. One wrong decision might mean death.
Who would sign up for a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. He used to sit in a high-rise office of a software company in San Diego, California. Now he is trained to break into rooms full of blinding smoke and overwhelming heat and come up with a rescue strategy.
“I wanted to learn new and practical skills and have a job that varied day by day.” That’s quite an understatement to describe a career that requires you to keep a cool head while attacking a fire. But Telfer says that fires and tension can be conquered in the same way: ongoing physical and mental training.
Telfer was a runner in college, but nowadays he builds up his lung ability for life-threatening conditions instead of races. He might climb hundreds of steps, wearing 34 kilograms of gear (装备), including oxygen tanks. He may carry sufferers to safety. No matter what he does, he must control his breathing.
His survival will depend on more than body fitness. Firefighters must have sufficient mental preparation. To respond to disasters effectively, they study a wide range of subjects such as emergency (紧急) medicine, structural (结构的) design and chemical reactions. They practice quickly judging the changing conditions of a fire. “It is why we love the job,” Telfer says. “We are continuously learning.”
Going from being a software specialist to a first responder was quite a transition for Telfer. Never could he have imagined the challenges he would face. But he says, “Not once have I ever felt that it was not the right job for me.” Danger might be waiting as he heads to work each day. But his body and mind are trained to stay calm, even in the roar of a great fire.
4. Why did Telfer change his job?
A. He would like to challenge himself. B. He wanted to get a high paying job.
C. He had been dreaming of being a firefighter. D. He was unfit for working in a software company.
5. What do firefighters need to survive the fire?
A. They need strong lung ability for races.
B. They need to study how to design buildings.
C. They need more body health than mental preparation.
D. They need mental preparation in addition to body health.
6. What can we learn about Telfer from the last paragraph?
A. He regrets leaving the software company.
B. He has faced many difficulties in his former job.
C. He finds his job challenging but still a right choice.
D. He once thought of giving up the job as a firefighter.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Firefighting Hero B. Firefighters To The Rescue
C. Firefighter: A Challenging Job D. From A Software Specialist To A First Responder
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sam Telfer曾经是一名软件专家,后来他放弃了原本的工作,去当了一名消防员。描述了他对这份工作的感受。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I wanted to learn new and practical skills and have a job that varied day by day. (我想学习新的实用技能,找一份每天都在变化的工作。)”可知,特尔弗换工作是因为他想挑战自己。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“His survival will depend on more than body fitness. Firefighters must have sufficient mental preparation. (他的生存不仅取决于身体健康。消防队员必须有充分的心理准备。)”可知,除了身体健康,消防员还需要心理准备。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Going from being a software specialist to a first responder was quite a transition for Telfer. Never could he have imagined the challenges he would face. But he says, “Not once have I ever felt that it was not the right job for me.” (对特尔弗来说,从软件专家到急救人员是一个相当大的转变。他从来没有想到他将面临的挑战。但他说:“我从来没有觉得这不是适合我的工作。”)”可知,特尔弗觉得这份工作很有挑战性,但仍然是一个正确的选择。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Who would sign up for a job like that? Ask firefighter Sam Telfer. He used to sit in a high-rise office of a software company in San Diego, California. Now he is trained to break into rooms full of blinding smoke and overwhelming heat and come up with a rescue strategy. (谁会报名做那样的工作?问问消防员山姆·特尔弗吧。他曾经坐在加州圣地亚哥一家软件公司的高层办公室里。现在,他接受的训练是闯入充满烟雾和酷热的房间,并提出救援策略。)”结合文章主要讲述了Sam Telfer曾经是一名软件专家,后来他放弃了原本的工作,去当了一名消防员。描述了他对这份工作的感受。可知,D选项“从软件专家到急救人员”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
Out of a total of 308,000 entries in the Oxford English Dictionary, just 366 words begin with the letter “x”, and very few of those make it into most people’s vocabulary. However, the letter is welcomed in popular culture and by brands, such as X-Files, X-Factor, X-man, X-rays and Planet X.
The letter “x” has had somewhat puzzling history, perhaps contributing to its malleable (可塑的) meanings. It first came from a Phoenician letter called “samekh”, meaning fish. The Creeks borrowed it, called it “Chi”, used it for the “kh” sound and wrote it as a cross. The Romans later adopted the “x” sound from Chalcidian alphabet (字母表), a Western variant of the Greek alphabet, and combined it with the “Chi” (x) symbol and “x” as we know it today was born.
The tech industry seems to have a particular preference for the letter. This week, the 24th letter of the alphabet was the focus of the spotlight once again, as Elon Musk announced an unexpected rename of Twitter — the social media company he bought in October 2022 for $44 bn. The site’s iconic(图标的) blue bird logo is no more, replaced by a black letter “X”, part of Musk’s long-term plan to be a “platform that can deliver, well... everything.” And he also named an early Tesla car Model X, and his space exploration programme Space X.
Besides Musk’s X , there’s Microsoft’s gaming console Xbox, Sony’s Xperia smartphone, Apple’s iPhone X and operating system OS X. In 2010, Google chose the letter for the name of its secret idea-testing laboratory, first known as Google x and now simply X.
So why do the tech giants prefer “x”, this one single letter, when there are 25 others they could use instead? Tony Thorne, Director of the Slang and New Language Archive at King’s College, London, thought its shape can signify everything from love (the kiss we used to end our emails and texts), to absence, and even death (as with the skull and crossbones). “It’s impressive and people see it as an attempt to appear enigmatic — a symbol of unknowns and possibilities,” he tells BBC Culture.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. How the letter “x” changed the history.
B. How the letter “x” was created by the Greeks.
C. How the letter “x” developed and came into being.
D. How the letter “x” was originally used by Phoenicians.
9. Why are other tech companies mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To stress the importance of the letter.
B. To list the reasons why they prefer the letter.
C. To further show tech companies favor the letter.
D. To provide the historical background of the letter.
10. What does the underlined word “enigmatic” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Attractive. B. Mysterious. C. Typical. D. Intelligent.
11. What can we know about the letter “x”?
A. Its shape seldom appears in our daily life.
B. It’s powerful and charming in the tech industry.
C. Words that begin with the letter are widely used.
D. The sounds of the letter are the same through history.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了字母X的发展和产生,以及人们对这个字母的喜爱。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The letter “x” has had somewhat puzzling history, perhaps contributing to its malleable (可塑的) meanings. It first came from a Phoenician letter called “samekh”, meaning fish. The Creeks borrowed it, called it “Chi”, used it for the “kh” sound and wrote it as a cross. The Romans later adopted the “x” sound from Chalcidian alphabet (字母表), a Western variant of the Greek alphabet, and combined it with the “Chi” (x) symbol and “x” as we know it today was born.(字母“x”有一段令人费解的历史,也许是由于它的含义具有可塑性。它最初来自腓尼基字母“samekh”,意思是鱼。希腊人借用了它,称它为“Chi”,用它来发“kh”的音,并把它写成一个十字。后来,罗马人从希腊字母表的西方变体卡尔西底字母表中采用了“x”的发音,并将其与“Chi”(x)符号结合起来,我们今天所知道的“x”就诞生了)”可知,第二段主要讲了字母“x”是如何发展和产生的。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Besides Musk’s X , there’s Microsoft’s gaming console Xbox, Sony’s Xperia smartphone, Apple’s iPhone X and operating system OS X. In 2010, Google chose the letter for the name of its secret idea-testing laboratory, first known as Google x and now simply X.(除了马斯克的X,还有微软的游戏机Xbox、索尼的Xperia智能手机、苹果的iPhone X和操作系统OS X。2010年,谷歌选择了这个字母作为其秘密创意测试实验室的名称,该实验室最初被称为Google X,现在简称为X)”可知,第4段提到了其他科技公司是为了进一步表明科技公司支持这个字母。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“a symbol of unknowns and possibilities”可知,X是未知和可能性的象征,即具有神秘性。故划线词意思是“神秘的”。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“So why do the tech giants prefer “x”, this one single letter, when there are 25 others they could use instead?(那么,为什么科技巨头们更喜欢“x”这个单一的字母,而不是其他25个字母呢?)”可知,字母“x”在科技行业是强大而迷人的。故选B。

【12题详解】
根据上文“At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. Fortunately, people’s facial expressions, movements and positions can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds. (有时我们都希望知道别人在想什么。幸运的是,人们的面部表情、动作和姿势可以很好地传达他们的想法。)”以及后文“but Joe Navarro’s book What Everybody is Saying can help develop that ability. ( 但乔·纳瓦罗的书《人人都在说什么》可以帮助培养这种能力。)”可知,后文与本句构成转折关系,推测本句是在说明理解肢体语言存在的困难。故G选项“理解隐藏在人们肢体语言中的信息需要很多技巧”符合语境,故选G。
【13题详解】
根据上文“According to Navarro, establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important. (根据纳瓦罗的说法,为一个人的行为建立一个底线是很重要的。)”可知,本句解释上文,说明为什么为一个人的行为建立一个底线是很重要。故D选项“这有助于避免误解他们的肢体语言”符合语境,故选D。
【14题详解】
根据后文“Even when people don’t lie directly, they sometimes try to hide their feelings. Whether you are communicating with people in business or in your personal life, recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own. (即使人们不直接撒谎,他们有时也会试图隐藏自己的感受。无论你是在工作中还是在个人生活中与人交流,认识到这些感觉可以帮助你找到他们和你自己的兴趣。)”可知,本段的主旨是可以通过肢体语言辨别对方是不是在撒谎。故F选项“肢体语言的微小变化可以帮助你识别某人是否在说谎”符合语境,故选F。
【15题详解】
根据上文“When dealing with someone like that, look at the rest of their bodies, especially their feet and legs. (当和这样的人打交道时,看看他们身体的其他部分,尤其是他们的脚和腿。)”可知,上文提到某些人的情绪会反应在腿和脚上,故E选项“许多人在高兴或兴奋的时候会跺脚”符合语境,故选E。

(坐直或站直可以表明某人感到自信,而双臂交叉坐着则表明他们感到防御或不舒服。)”可知,后文主要列举了一些可以体现情绪的姿势。故A选项“姿势也很重要”符合语境,故选A。

53. 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。
Ruby was ever so proud of her new skates! She put them on right away and was soon rushing along the sidewalk. Her little brother Max could only watch in envy (羡慕). “I wish I had a pair!”, he told his mum. “Well, you’re nearly big enough to wear Ruby’s old skates,” she replied. “Oh, can I?” Max asked.
But when Max tried on Ruby’s old skates, they were too big. “You’ll just have to wait until you’ve grown up a bit,” said his mum. But Max couldn’t wait. He filled newspaper into the boots until they fitted and then tried to stand up in them again ... and again! Each time, he fell over. Finally, he gave up and sat on the ground, watching Ruby as she skated around him.
“We should put on a skating display!” Ruby decided. “All our aunts, uncles and cousins will come. You’ll watch me, won’t you, Max?” Max sighed (叹气). He didn’t want to watch the show! He wanted to be in it!
“Poor Max!” said his mum. “Look what I’ve got!” She held up a pair of thick red socks. “If you put these on, the skates will fit better.” Max pulled the socks on, and then his skates. When he stood up shakily, he was sure he would fall over again - and he did.
“Maybe you’ve tried enough for today?” suggested his mum. It started to rain. When he got inside, Max pulled off his thick socks. “It’s funny. They look very small now!” he said. “Yes, they’re magic socks,” his mum replied with a smile. Max asked, “Really?!” “Yes,” she said. “They stretch (拉伸) to fit most feet…”
When mum left the room, Max put the socks on and tried skating in his bedroom. He didn’t fall over! He tried again. He still didn’t fall. He could now skate — thanks to his magic socks! Hooray! How he longed to go out and show everyone ... but it was still raining.
In fact, it rained non-stop for days, and Max spent that time practising his skating in his bedroom. He even tried tricks like jumps and turns, knowing his magic socks would help him. It was brilliant!

【答案】 The day of the show finally arrived. All their aunts, uncles and cousins came to attend the skating display. As the show began, Ruby skated skillfully and easily into the center of the yard on her new skates. Then she turned and danced gracefully, like a beautiful butterfly, causing people to applaud warmly. Other cousins who could skate also showed off their excellent skating skills one by one. When it was Max’s turn, everyone stared at the little boy curiously, wondering if he could skate. He took a deep breath and slid steadily into the yard on the old skates. After skating around the yard twice, he began to try tricks like jumps and turns and fulfilled them so perfectly that all the family cheered for him. “I made it! Mum.” Max shouted excitedly.
“But you’re not wearing those socks!” smiled his mum. Hearing this, Max suddenly froze for a minute and looked down at his skates, finding that he forgot to wear his magic socks due to haste and excitement. He incredibly stared at his mum and asked, “But why?” “Because what really made you successful was your constant practice and hard work, not the socks.” Mum tapped his cheek and said lovingly. Nodding heavily, Max smiled innocently, “But they are still magic socks for me. Thank you, Mom.”
