After a long day at work, Yuan Hui, a volunteer teacher in a village in Enshi, Hubei province, decided to stay back in the office until late. This is the 10th year of his volunteer teaching career in the Countryside.
Located deep in the mountains, the village was struck by poverty. Despite all challenges, Yuan believes that it was a precious experience growing up among his students. “I did not come here on a whim. I love teaching from the bottom of my heart,” says Yuan, who teaches a variety of courses, including history, geography and music, in different primary and middle schools in Enshi.
“Since I was a high school student, I’ve dreamed of being a volunteer teacher. Different from the traditional teaching style, I feel there is another way, and I hope to have the opportunity to put my ideas into practice,” he says, adding that his teaching may have a greater impact on students living in mountain villages with limited education resources. “Spreading joy and knowledge among others makes me feel satisfied. Living in the woods, I seemed to have reached a deep understanding with nature, and discovered the essence of life,” he says.
When Yuan first started teaching, he visited every student’s family on the weekends. “Most of them were left-behind children, and some were from single-parent families,” says Yuan. He decided to help the children with their studies by developing good habits. “In such cases, it’s important to help them build up their confidence,” says Yuan. To achieve that goal, Yuan designed a lot of activity-based courses, encouraging children to express themselves more confidently. Yuan’s unique teaching methods became more popular in the county, and other schools invited him to deliver lectures. “I think I’m living a happy life,” he said in one of his lectures.
Over the past years, Yuan has won many national honors. “I think they are a result of my devotion. Only through devotion can one possess inner peace and joy,” he says.
4. The underlined part “on a whim” in paragraph 2 means________.
A. out of kindness B. on purpose
C. due to a sudden wish D. without hesitation
5. Why did Yuan design a lot of activity-based courses?
A. To make his teaching easy. B. To make himself popular.
C. To make his students confident. D. To make his life colorful.
6. What can we learn about Yuan Hui from the passage?
A. He was unsatisfied with the living conditions in Enshi.
B. Volunteering in the village brought him mental satisfaction.
C. His students were left-behind children from single-parent families.
D. His dream of being a volunteer teacher started after he finished high school.
7. Which of the following can best describe Yuan Hui?
A. Devoted and creative. B. Critical and rigid.
C. Odd and intelligent. D. Mild and ambitious.
C
Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic medal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron—though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形),which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea? Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves,’ ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal?”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
8. What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”?
A. Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris. B. The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C. The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris. D. The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
B. The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C. The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
D. The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
10. How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron?
A. The Eiffel Tower Operating Company put forward the idea.
B. The Olympic committee approved of this design.
C. Some volunteers considered it to be a good idea.
D They got the inspiration while having discussion.
11. What can we infer about the new Olympic medals?
A. They take the shape of the Eiffel Tower. B. They are innovative and typical of French feature.
C. They represent a combination of different cultures. D. They illustrate the idea of sustainable development.
D
Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that conducts itself with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚) forward. turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robots that can be used to AA-head and map unknown environments.
The new soft robots are called twisted ring-bots (扭曲环机器人) . They are made of something like the ribbon (缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring.
When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This induces a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis (横轴) , giving the ring forward strength,” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
The twisted ring-bot also turns along its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bot moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the twisted ring-bot meets a boundary- like the wall of a box-it will travel along the boundary.
The twisted ring-bots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is governed by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human.
“Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.”
12. What makes the robot roll faster and faster?
A. The ribbon. B. The central axis.
C The shape and material. D. The higher surface temperature.
13. How does the author introduce the new soft robots?
A. By explaining the robot’s working ways. B. By quoting experts’ opinions.
C. By making some comparisons. D. By offering reasons and results.
14. What is Yin’s attitude towards twisted ring-bots?
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Soft Robots B. Ribbons and Their Rolling
C. Three Creative Movements D. Twisted Rings and the Axis

There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震级) quake almost flattened the city, killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock, he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school. Everything looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging, other anxious parents arrived, heartbroken, shouting desperately: “Mary!” “Sam!”
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It’s too late!” “They’re dead!” “You can’t help!” “Go home!” “Come on! There’s nothing you can do here!” “You’re just going to make things worse!”
To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?”
And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out, and explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Just go home!” To which this loving, determined father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The fire chief replied, “You’re angry and worried. I get it. But you are not helping by staying here. Just go home. We will help you find your son!” To which he replied, “But I promised my son I’ll always be there for him.”

After a long day at work, Yuan Hui, a volunteer teacher in a village in Enshi, Hubei province, decided to stay back in the office until late. This is the 10th year of his volunteer teaching career in the Countryside.
Located deep in the mountains, the village was struck by poverty. Despite all challenges, Yuan believes that it was a precious experience growing up among his students. “I did not come here on a whim. I love teaching from the bottom of my heart,” says Yuan, who teaches a variety of courses, including history, geography and music, in different primary and middle schools in Enshi.
“Since I was a high school student, I’ve dreamed of being a volunteer teacher. Different from the traditional teaching style, I feel there is another way, and I hope to have the opportunity to put my ideas into practice,” he says, adding that his teaching may have a greater impact on students living in mountain villages with limited education resources. “Spreading joy and knowledge among others makes me feel satisfied. Living in the woods, I seemed to have reached a deep understanding with nature, and discovered the essence of life,” he says.
When Yuan first started teaching, he visited every student’s family on the weekends. “Most of them were left-behind children, and some were from single-parent families,” says Yuan. He decided to help the children with their studies by developing good habits. “In such cases, it’s important to help them build up their confidence,” says Yuan. To achieve that goal, Yuan designed a lot of activity-based courses, encouraging children to express themselves more confidently. Yuan’s unique teaching methods became more popular in the county, and other schools invited him to deliver lectures. “I think I’m living a happy life,” he said in one of his lectures.
Over the past years, Yuan has won many national honors. “I think they are a result of my devotion. Only through devotion can one possess inner peace and joy,” he says.
4. The underlined part “on a whim” in paragraph 2 means________.
A. out of kindness B. on purpose
C. due to a sudden wish D. without hesitation
5. Why did Yuan design a lot of activity-based courses?
A. To make his teaching easy. B. To make himself popular.
C. To make his students confident. D. To make his life colorful.
6. What can we learn about Yuan Hui from the passage?
A. He was unsatisfied with the living conditions in Enshi.
B. Volunteering in the village brought him mental satisfaction.
C. His students were left-behind children from single-parent families.
D. His dream of being a volunteer teacher started after he finished high school.

Officials have unveiled the gold, silver and bronze medals that will be awarded at this summer’s Olympic games in Paris, and each one contains a unique souvenir: a fragment of waste iron from the Eiffel Tower.
“It’s the opportunity for the athletes to bring back a piece of Paris with them,” Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, told reporters last week. “The absolute symbol of Paris and France is the Eiffel Tower.”
The Eiffel Tower opened in 1889 and during the later repair work, some of the original iron was cut off and preserved over time. Now, some of those preserved metal fragments have found new homes.
Each new Olympic medal features a piece of Eiffel Tower iron—though the signature “Eiffel Tower brown” paint has been removed. These pieces have been shaped into hexagons (六边形),which is the “shape of France”. Besides, there are words “Paris 2024”, the Olympic rings and the Games logo, which looks like a flame or the face of a woman with a bob haircut.
How did they think of such an idea? Joachim Roncin, head of design at the Paris Games organizing committee told the press, “We talked about the design many times and realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower. We said to ourselves,’ ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Company to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal?”
When the Eiffel Tower Operating Company agreed to volunteer pieces of original iron, “the dream became reality,” adds Roncin.
The medals, designed by the luxury Paris jewelry house Chaumet, make people think of the Eiffel Tower in several other ways. The pieces of iron are secured by what looks like special nails that hold the structure together, and the medals’ ribbons are decorated with patterns of the tower’s latticework structure.
The iron fragments are set in recycled silver, gold and bronze disks. Over 5,000 medals are being made.
8. What does Thierry mean by saying “bring back a piece of Paris”?
A. Part of the athletes’ medal is from the symbol of Paris. B. The athletes will take many photos of Paris.
C. The athletes will buy souvenirs about Paris. D. The Eiffel Tower will be left in the athletes’ memory.
9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. The processing technique of the Eiffel Tower iron pieces.
B. The shape and material of the Olympic medal.
C. The design of the Eiffel Tower iron fragment on the medal.
D. The symbolic meaning of the hexagons.
10. How did the designers get the idea of adding the waste iron?
A. The Eiffel Tower Operating Company put forward the idea.
B. The Olympic committee approved of this design.
C. Some volunteers considered it to be a good idea.
D. They got the inspiration while having discussion.
11. What can we infer about the new Olympic medals?
A. They take the shape of the Eiffel Tower. B. They are innovative and typical of French feature.
C. They represent a combination of different cultures. D. They illustrate the idea of sustainable development.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B

Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that conducts itself with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚) forward. turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robots that can be used to AA-head and map unknown environments.
The new soft robots are called twisted ring-bots (扭曲环机器人) . They are made of something like the ribbon (缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring.
When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This induces a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis (横轴) , giving the ring forward strength,” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
The twisted ring-bot also turns along its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bot moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the twisted ring-bot meets a boundary- like the wall of a box-it will travel along the boundary.
The twisted ring-bots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is governed by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human.
“Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.”
12. What makes the robot roll faster and faster?
A. The ribbon. B. The central axis.
C. The shape and material. D. The higher surface temperature.
13. How does the author introduce the new soft robots?
A. By explaining the robot’s working ways. B. By quoting experts’ opinions.
C. By making some comparisons. D. By offering reasons and results.
14. What is Yin’s attitude towards twisted ring-bots?
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Soft Robots B. Ribbons and Their Rolling
C. Three Creative Movements D. Twisted Rings and the Axis
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A

A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on the fresh air, sunshine and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing used during the exercise. ____18____. Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise.
Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people's blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem. ____19____.
Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. ____20____. Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.
A. A green gym uses as little equipment as possible
B. Spirits are also believed to be positively affected
C. Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ
D. Green exercise includes a range of activities exposed to nature

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的运动方式——绿色运动,不同于在使用健身房的健身设施,更强调与大自然的接触,表明其利弊。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment rather than in a health club or gym.(绿色运动是一个术语,用于描述在自然环境中进行的任何类型的体育锻炼,而不是在健身俱乐部或健身房中。)”开头介绍绿色运动不同于在健身房的锻炼,空格处承上启下,以及后文的“Instead,”表明空格处的意义与后文相反。因此,空格处应继续说明绿色运动与健身房运动的不同之处,F项“It usually doesn't use fitness equipment that is normally found in a gym (它通常不使用健身房里常见的健身器材)”符合文意,提到了“gym”,与上下文一致。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据后文“For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot running or walking with a big arena to be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.(例如,一些人认为,真正自然的运动体验要求人只穿天然纤维制成的衣服。其他人则认为赤脚跑步或在大型竞技场上行走,比穿着鞋子跑步或行走更可取。)”从两个方面举例说明了两种不同的绿色运动方式。因此空格处总结性说明不同的人,对于什么是真正的绿色运动观点不同。C项“Opinions on what truly green exercise means differ (人们对什么是真正的绿色运动意见不一)”符合文意。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise.(同样,使用标准设备和防护服爬山也将被视为绿色运动。)”表明什么样的锻炼会被视为绿色运动,由“Similarly,”可知,空格处也是在介绍绿色运动的类型,而E项中“can be called a type of green exercise”与后文中的“also be considered a green exercise”结构一致,都是在介绍绿色运动的类型,E项“So riding a bicycle in the forest can be called a type of green exercise (因此,在森林里骑自行车可以被称为一种绿色运动)”符合文意。故选E。
19题详解】
根据前文“The interaction with nature helps to lower peoples’ blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem.(与大自然的互动有助于降低人们的血压,更新他们的思维,并真正地提高他们的自尊。)”介绍了绿色运动对于身体、头脑和心理健康的优点,而B项“Spirits are also believed to be positively affected (人们认为,精神也会受到积极影响)”承接上文,接着说明了绿色运动在精神上的积极影响。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym.(并非所有人都认为绿色运动比在健身俱乐部或健身房锻炼更有益。)”可知,该段在介绍另一种观点,指出使用健身器材锻炼也有好处,以及“Meanwhile, …”后文说明使用健身器材有利于增强心肺功能。因此,空格处也是在讲述健身俱乐部或者健身房的优点,G项“Some point out that many health clubs are built to make full use of natural light (一些人指出,许多健身俱乐部都是为了充分利用自然光而建的)”符合文意,其中的“many health clubs”与上文的“in a health club or gym”上下一致。故选G。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了互联网的好处,并告诉我们应如何正确使用互联网。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种连接提供了对大量信息的快速访问,使学习和发现非常高效。该句谓语动词为provides,此处为非谓语动词作状语,make和逻辑主语为前面整句话为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填making。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在某种程度上,世界上的知识都在我们的指尖。此处为固定短语To a certain extent“在某种程度上”,所以此处为冠词a的填入。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:数字支付可以让人们外出时不带现金。此处为动词短语allow sb to do“允许某人做某事”,所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to go。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:除了方便,互联网还支持社会联系。空前为形容词social,此处为名词形式,结合句意可知,应为复数名词ties“联系”,满足句意要求。故填ties。

【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:无论是通过短信、视频通话还是社交媒体,到目前为止,互联网提供了许多维持关系和表达关心的方式。此处为谓语动词的填入,根据后文so far可知,此处为现在完成时,主语Internet为单数意义名词,所以为动词三单形式。故填has offered。

I am writing to share with you our annual school’s Science Festival held last Friday. Nearly 200 students, selected from Grade 1 and Grade 2, competed with all their strength on the playground.
The festival was celebrated by holding various activities both indoors and outdoors, including armament model racing, water rocket launching and information literacy competition and so on, which has sparked students’ growing love for science and technology.

47. 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。
There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震级) quake almost flattened the city, killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock, he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school. Everything looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging, other anxious parents arrived, heartbroken, shouting desperately: “Mary!” “Sam!”
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It’s too late!” “They’re dead!” “You can’t help!” “Go home!” “Come on! There’s nothing you can do here!” “You’re just going to make things worse!”
To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?”
And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out, and explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Just go home!” To which this loving, determined father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The fire chief replied, “You’re angry and worried. I get it. But you are not helping by staying here. Just go home. We will help you find your son!” To which he replied, “But I promised my son I’ll always be there for him.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;

Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, Dad,” Daniel replied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for hours and hours. His hands were mushy and he could only see well in flashes. Right before he was about to pass out, he pulled back a large rounded rock and heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “DANIEL!” A response came from below, “Dad? It’s me, Dad!” This must be the most beautiful voice he’s ever heard in his whole life! “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked anxiously.
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, Dad,” Daniel replied. “We’re scared, hungry, and thirsty. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle and saved us.” The father realized that this was a tricky situation. He couldn’t risk causing another collapse down there. Fortunately, the firefighters were just nearby. The father shouted to the fire chief and signalled to them to come over. Then, the father helped the firefighters cautiously remove the rocks and pulled out the kids one by one. When everyone was safe and sound, Daniel threw himself into his father’s arms: “You did it, Dad! No matter what, I know you’ll be there for me!”
【解析】
