This gave Wayne Works a great opportunity to improve its carriages. 37 But the design remained mostly the same as that of the previous ones, with students sitting along the walls of the bus while facing inside. In 1927, a man built the first bus that primarily used steel. 38 Still, parents were increasingly concerned for children’s safety. This led to a turning point in the history of the school bus in 1939, when a conference was organised at Manhattan College to develop school bus standards. Many new national standards were created, determining everything from seating designs to the famous yellow colour that school buses still sport today. 39 Yellow is quite eye-catching to human beings. The colour is easy to see in the early morning and evening light when school buses usually operate. 40 For example, a variety of changes have been made to enable the school bus to not only be safer but also have better fuel economy, be easier to drive, etc. The most creative approach among all of these is probably a kind of stop signal arm that warns traffic of a stop in progress, which states began to require in the early 1950s. A．Horses were easy to control. B．Not all chose to paint their buses yellow. C．The reason why the colour was chosen was simple. D．Before then, many children simply walked to school. E．Now, school buses have had many more improvements. F．The company managed to make its carriages powered by engines. G．Before long, Wayne Works introduced the first all-steel school bus body with safety glass windows. 能力提升 一、阅读理解 If you’re looking for new headphones (头戴式耳机) and want to try something different, House of Marley could be a good choice for you.

Here, Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones. Ember Mug It's hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature, especially in winter. It's too hot to drink at first, but before we know it, it gets too cold and loses all its taste. The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds, which makes the Ember Mug a great invention. It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature, anywhere between 45°C and 62℃,once you set it through a smartphone app. Tasty One Top TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it's almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook. However, the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help. Developed by BuzzFeed, the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app, which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos. You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do. For example, it'll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients. Jibo Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives, but they are still just faceless speakers. However, Jibo, developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal, has brought smart technology to life. Jibo, said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”, looks like a cartoon character.

Within the cinematic universe of “The Martian,” Matt Damon embodies the role of an astronaut who cultivates sustenance on the Martian terrain, a testament to human ingenuity in the face of isolation on the crimson celestial sphere. Following their cinematic enlightenment, Michael Allen, a physicist hailing from Washington State University, and Helen Joyner, a food scientist from the University of Idaho, resolved to initiate a pedagogical exploration. They devised an instructive scenario aimed at guiding students through the complex process of agricultural endeavor on the Martian surface. Envisioning themselves as interplanetary miners, students are tasked with devising a strategy for sustenance prior to embarking on their extraterrestrial expedition. Allen and Joyner proffer a proposal outlining the selection of crops and the enduring trials of cultivating them in the Martian environment over extended periods. Utilizing a scoring mechanism, students are challenged to identify and propagate three varieties of nourishment on the Martian terrain. Allen encountered a remarkable diversity in outcomes: among a cohort of thirty students, “there has not been a single instance of identical responses,” he remarked. Future Martian voyagers will, in all likelihood, be compelled to harness the native resources of the planet rather than transporting all necessities aboard a spacecraft. This implies the necessity of cultivating their own nourishment on an extraterrestrial sphere, one that boasts an ecosystem markedly divergent from that of Earth. One formidable impediment for prospective Martian habitués is the absence of agricultural implements. In congruence with actual astronauts, student participants in the study are precluded from amassing an extensive array of farming tools. As Joyner articulated to his student space explorers, “You commence your journey with a vacuum of resources.” Furthermore, students are confronted with the predicament of a severely restricted dietary selection. “Could I endure a diet confined to a single sustenance for the entirety of my existence?” posed Joyner. Nevertheless, Allen perceives the case study as transcending the realms of agriculture and nutrition on the Red Planet. “I am not imparting knowledge solely on the cultivation of food on Mars,” Allen declared. “I am imparting knowledge on coexistence with choices. I am imparting knowledge on the resolution of complex issues.” 7．In the case study, students have to ______. A．watch the movie to know the conditions on Mars B．decide which crop to grow on Mars with the help of the teachers C．design different types of diets on Mars for them to choose D．understand how to farm on Mars with their favorite farming tools 8．The underlined word “proposal” in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______ . A．exploration B．recommendation C．adventure D．movement 9．Michael Allen thinks that the case study ______ . A．increases students’ knowledge about farming B．helps student know more about Mars C．develops students’ skills of solving problems D．teaches students how to make proper choices 10．The passage is mainly intended ______. A．to describe a research on how to farm on Mars B．to prepare us to deal with problems on Mars C．to teach us how to survive on Mars alone D．to introduce a Hollywood movie, The Martian 二、完形填空 Alexander Graham Bell hated spending summertime in Washington, DC． He usually 11 to his farm in Nova Scotia, but one year he had to stay in the capital. “Why humans have 12 how to warm a house but not how to cool one — until now,” he wondered, and in 1872, he 13 a cold-air-producing device and brought the temperature in his room down to 21℃. When 69-year-old Bell told that 14 in a speech to the 1917 graduating class of McKinley Manual Training School, the students went 15 . The clapping lasted so long that he was 16 to say something more surprising. “Could postage stamps be used in 17 of persons?” asked Bell, who had thought of 18 a low price for public transport, but the cost of building additional roads was too high. “Perhaps, the flying machine will be the 19 .” In the speech, Bell also 20 on a century of progress and looked ahead with remarkable foresight. In the reflection, he was amazed by the 21 made in the past century: Gas lighting had evolved into electric bulbs and automobiles 22 horse-drawn vehicles. He then went on to 23 the commercial airplane, solar panels, and the 24 for renewable resources. Gilbert Grosvenor, the editor of National Geographic magazine, asked for the 25 and published a revised version in the February issue. Now, more than one hundred years later, Bell’s predictions still remain prescient (预见性的). 11．A．wandered B．escaped C．flew D．applied 12．A．agreed on B．insisted on C．figured out D．ruled out 13．A．designed B．bought C．saw D．borrowed 14．A．accident B．loss C．problem D．story 15．A．wild B．hungry C．disappointed D．silent 16．A．allowed B．forced C．paid D．chosen 17．A．favor B．memory C．transportation D．case 18．A．cutting B．raising C．avoiding D．charging 19．A．pollution B．solution C．discovery D．issue 20．A．relied B．switched C．reflected D．called 21．A．profits B．advances C．materials D．failures 22．A．replaced B．destroyed C．attacked D．missed 23．A．sell B．rent C．invent D．predict 24．A．deadline B．competition C．need D．balance 25．A．text B．book C．contract D．interview 三、语法填空 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 HTC Corp. 26 (introduce) its latest headset the Vive XR Elite in January, 2023.

Within the cinematic universe of “The Martian,” Matt Damon embodies the role of an astronaut who cultivates sustenance on the Martian terrain, a testament to human ingenuity in the face of isolation on the crimson celestial sphere. Following their cinematic enlightenment, Michael Allen, a physicist hailing from Washington State University, and Helen Joyner, a food scientist from the University of Idaho, resolved to initiate a pedagogical exploration. They devised an instructive scenario aimed at guiding students through the complex process of agricultural endeavor on the Martian surface. Envisioning themselves as interplanetary miners, students are tasked with devising a strategy for sustenance prior to embarking on their extraterrestrial expedition. Allen and Joyner proffer a proposal outlining the selection of crops and the enduring trials of cultivating them in the Martian environment over extended periods. Utilizing a scoring mechanism, students are challenged to identify and propagate three varieties of nourishment on the Martian terrain. Allen encountered a remarkable diversity in outcomes: among a cohort of thirty students, “there has not been a single instance of identical responses,” he remarked. Future Martian voyagers will, in all likelihood, be compelled to harness the native resources of the planet rather than transporting all necessities aboard a spacecraft. This implies the necessity of cultivating their own nourishment on an extraterrestrial sphere, one that boasts an ecosystem markedly divergent from that of Earth. One formidable impediment for prospective Martian habitués is the absence of agricultural implements. In congruence with actual astronauts, student participants in the study are precluded from amassing an extensive array of farming tools. As Joyner articulated to his student space explorers, “You commence your journey with a vacuum of resources.” Furthermore, students are confronted with the predicament of a severely restricted dietary selection. “Could I endure a diet confined to a single sustenance for the entirety of my existence?” posed Joyner. Nevertheless, Allen perceives the case study as transcending the realms of agriculture and nutrition on the Red Planet. “I am not imparting knowledge solely on the cultivation of food on Mars,” Allen declared. “I am imparting knowledge on coexistence with choices. I am imparting knowledge on the resolution of complex issues.” 7．In the case study, students have to ______. A．watch the movie to know the conditions on Mars B．decide which crop to grow on Mars with the help of the teachers C．design different types of diets on Mars for them to choose D．understand how to farm on Mars with their favorite farming tools 8．The underlined word “proposal” in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______ . A．exploration B．recommendation C．adventure D．movement 9．Michael Allen thinks that the case study ______ . A．increases students’ knowledge about farming B．helps student know more about Mars C．develops students’ skills of solving problems D．teaches students how to make proper choices 10．The passage is mainly intended ______. A．to describe a research on how to farm on Mars B．to prepare us to deal with problems on Mars C．to teach us how to survive on Mars alone D．to introduce a Hollywood movie, The Martian 1．D 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了由Marley家族创建的House of Marley公司的一款新型头戴式耳机，强调了该产品的环保特性、电池续航、音质以及舒适的佩戴体验。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a company created by the Marley family to carry on Bob Marley’s love for both music and the planet, the company creates attractive and timeless products that are good for the earth.”（作为一家由Marley家族创建的公司，为了延续Bob Marley对音乐和这个星球的热爱，该公司创造了吸引人且永恒的产品，这些产品对地球有益。）可知，House of Marley的产品是环保的，对环境有益的。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Offering 32 hours of playback with noise canceling turned off, and 26 hours turned on, the headphones will get you through several days of listening to good music without charging the batteries.”（在关闭降噪功能的情况下，这款耳机可以提供32小时的播放时间，而在开启降噪功能的情况下，可以提供26小时的播放时间。这款耳机可以让你在不充电的情况下，连续几天都能听到好听的音乐。）可知，这款新型耳机的特别之处在于它的电池寿命很长。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The special ear pads (衬垫) fit around the ears closely, and the underside of the headband also has lots of soft pads so you can’t feel uncomfortable even after hours of listening.”（特殊的耳垫紧密贴合耳朵，头带的下方也有很多软垫，所以即使听了好几个小时，你也不会感到不舒服。）可知，有许多软垫是为了让人们佩戴起来感觉更舒适。故选C项。 4．A 5．D 6．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三项发明。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中“TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy, but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook.

When 69-year-old Bell told that 14 in a speech to the 1917 graduating class of McKinley Manual Training School, the students went 15 . The clapping lasted so long that he was 16 to say something more surprising. “Could postage stamps be used in 17 of persons?” asked Bell, who had thought of 18 a low price for public transport, but the cost of building additional roads was too high. “Perhaps, the flying machine will be the 19 .” In the speech, Bell also 20 on a century of progress and looked ahead with remarkable foresight.
