One possible version:
Dear Mr Smith,
How are you doing these days?I'm writing to seek your assistance in polishing my speech script for the
upcoming English speech contest in our school next month,which centers on the theme of"Environmental
Protection”.
While I've drafted the speech script myself,I'm not sure whether the opening is appealing enough to catch
the audience's attention right away,and whether the concluding remarks can leave a lasting impact.Also,I'm
5
afraid there may be some non-idiomatic expressions.Therefore,I wonder if it would be convenient for you to help
improve my speech script.Your expert guidance will be of great significance to me!
It would be highly appreciated if you can spare some time from your busy schedule to give me some advice.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
One possible version:
I immediately dropped what I was doing to apologise and offer help.Feeling extremely worried,I hurried to
take them to the hospital for a check-up.Fortunately,after an examination,the doctor said the boy's symptoms
were not so serious.Before leaving,I sincerely apologised to them once again.Concerned about his son,the father
didn't say anything but hurried to care for him.I felt greatly sorry for the pain I had caused for the boy and his
father.I though they couldn't come to the restaurant where I worked any more.
Unexpectedly,the father came to our restaurant the next day,letter in hand.I went over at once and asked
about the boy's condition.He explained that his son was much better.Then to my great surprise,he handed me a
letter,saying,"We've been to many restaurants before,but no one has ever served us as patiently as you have.
Although there was a slight accident yesterday,I still appreciate your service."After I saw these words,tears
welled up in my eyes.My efforts paid off,though not perfect enough.

Good morning,everyone.My topic today is about a book titled Unfadeable.The book is about a 13-year-old
orphaned girl named Bella who loves to do graffiti art in her neighbourhood.One day she finds out that the leader
of the neighbourhood,Mattea,has a wrong idea.Mattea plans to use all the money the neighbourhood has to build
inessential new things instead of helping the neighbourhood and funding parks that are run-down.She even wants
to cover up public art that makes the neighbourhood special.Bella puts her trust in her neighbours.She teams up
with one of them to stop Mattea's plan.Bella makes videos of areas in her neighbourhood needing the most help,
and she speaks powerfully about what her neighbourhood needs.In the end,Bella grows to be a girl who stands
up for what she believes in.After reading the book,I have learned that we should support our communities in
good ways.As far as I'm concerned,we can start with the following activities.

When Mayumi Watanabe tells people what she does for a living, most people widen their eyes in disbelief, not just because she is quite tiny. “I can see they’re thinking, ‘How can such a tiny woman drive a big truck? ’ ” Watanabe, who is 152 cm tall, said as she prepared for the busy run-up to be a truck driver.
When she started driving her truck, Watanabe was an exception, as all her co-workers were men. Figuring out routes in the days before E-maps was not the only aspect of the job with which she struggled. Expressway truck stops did not have women’s toilets, and heavy-vehicle cabs appeared to have been designed entirely with male drivers in mind.
Watanabe is now a director of Heartful, the first among Japan’s 62, 000 trucking firms to employ only female drivers. Japan’s $300 bn freight and logistics (货运和物流) field is looking to women to address what industry insiders believe could be disastrous changes in the aging labour market.
In an attempt to make trucking, with its punishingly long hours, more attractive, the Japanese government will limit drivers’ overtime at 960 hours a year, or 80 hours a month, from April. However, transport companies warn that it will cause an outflow from a job in which most drivers depend on large amounts of overtime to make ends meet. But for Watanabe, there are also signs of a bright side in the industry.
In the two decades that Watanabe, 43, has been driving trucks around her company’s base in Fukui, toilet facilities have improved, while improved seat design and steering (操纵) technology have made her job much easier. With more women driving large trucks, companies are starting to customize their vehicles to better suit them, including fitting cabs with curtains to give the drivers more privacy during rest breaks.
Watanabe’s extra hours will fall sharply from April. “A lot of drivers will just quit,” she said. But she has no intention of joining them. “Driving gives me a sense of freedom.”
4. What aspect of Mayumi Watanabe surprises people the most?
A. Her great enthusiasm for trucks. B. Her positive attitude towards life.
C. Her busy schedule at the end of the year. D. Her presence in a male-centered profession.
5. What did Watanabe struggle to do in her daily work?
A. Develop competence in driving a truck. B. Get along well with her male co-workers.
C. Fit into the uncomfortable working conditions. D. Determine driving routes through digital maps.
6. What is the significance of women in Japan’s freight and logistics industry?
A. They help ease the labour shortage. B. They improve customer satisfaction.
C. They promote equality in the workplace. D. They contribute to better labour management.

On the beaches, in the deepest reaches of the backcountry — even nearly 100 feet underwater, the noise of navy training jets (喷气式飞机) is unbearable for people and even endangered southern residents — tiger whales, a new scientific research shows.
In a paper published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, scientists reported an underwater microphone fixed in nearly 100 feet of water offshore of the runway at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Washington, clearly picked up the sound of the jets, at levels known to affect tiger whales’ behaviour. “To the tiger whales at that depth, the noise is about as loud as a ship 650 feet away,” said Rob Williams, lead scientist and an author on the paper.
Tiger whales use sound to find food, so underwater noise can affect their ability to get enough to eat. Lauren Kuehne, lead author on the paper, said she was surprised at just how clear the jet noise was even deep underwater, showing the noise easily spreads to depths where Chinook Salmon, the tiger whales’primary prey (猎物) , are often found. “Mentally I was prepared for noise, but not for that; it was clear as a bell. It has given me a whole new appreciation. We don’t use our ears the way animals do. For them, it is life and death,” said Kuehne.
The number and duration of daily overflights, the team stressed, also outnumber those in a majority of studies that have dug into the impacts of noise from military aircraft, worldwide.
Williams said the study demolishes the assumption that the noise of the jets doesn’t travel underwater. “The original understanding is that the noise is going to bounce off the ocean,” Williams said. “Here we show it doesn't. The sound goes underwater. We have shown that it is noisy, and noisy enough to require paying attention to.”
8. How did researchers confirm the effect of the noise on tiger whales?
A. By adjusting the sound of jets. B. By collecting noise underwater.
C. By observing tiger whales’ behaviour. D. By picking up tiger whales’ brainwaves.
9. Why is underwater noise dangerous to tiger whales?
A. It scares off their natural prey. B. It affects their hunting activity.
C. It destroys their sense of hearing. D. It makes them nervous underwater.
10. What does the underlined word “demolishes” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Overturns. B. Updates. C. Explains. D. Justifies.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Irregular Airplane Noise B. Underwater Species Protection
C Unknown Underwater Sound D. Non-ignorable Undersea Annoyance
D
Ever since Neil Alden Armstrong took one small step onto the moon, moon dust has proved to be a messy problem for astronauts, gathering on their spacesuits and being difficult to clean off. Scientists have come up with a new solution to this problem.
For their experiment, researchers dressed Barbie dolls in spacesuits constructed of materials similar to what NASA uses. Then they covered the spacesuits these dolls wore with a moon dust replacement — volcanic ash, collected from the 1980 eruption of nearby Mount Saint Helens in America, which is similar to moon dust. Then the team sprayed (喷) the dolls with liquid nitrogen (氮) to test how well liquid nitrogen could remove moon dust from the spacesuits.
They found that spraying the spacesuit-wearing dolls with liquid nitrogen not only removed more than 98% of the moon dust replacement but also caused little to no damage to the spacesuit material. This proved to be a better solution than the traditional method: Apollo programme astronauts would use brushes to wipe off moon dust from their spacesuits, which would eventually severely damage the material.
Not only is moon dust annoyingly clingy (黏附的) , but coming into contact with it can prove harmful to human cells and can lead to an illness that causes watery eyes, a sore throat and sneezing. “Moon dust is harmful, and it gets everywhere,” said Ian Wells, head of the research team. “It can work its way into spacesuits and make them unusable. It can also have a negative impact on astronauts’ lungs. That’s not exactly something astronauts would want to deal with while conducting an already risky mission to the moon.”
Ian Wells’s team presented their findings to NASA as part of their upcoming mission to the moon and they won the space agency’s Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-Changing (BIG) Idea Challenge.
“We used the doll primarily because it’s a one-sixth-scale person,” Wells said. “However, it was also chosen as the Artemis mission, aiming to send the first woman to the moon.”
12. What’s the new solution to the moon dust on spacesuits?
A. Wiping it off with brushes. B. Changing the material of spacesuits.
C. Covering spacesuits with volcanic ash. D. Spraying liquid nitrogen on spacesuits.
13. Why is the new moon dust removal method better than the traditional one?
A. It costs much less. B. It uses devices easier to carry.
C. It almost does no harm to spacesuits. D. It is friendlier to the space environment.
14. What does paragraph 4 want to stress concerning moon dust?
A. Its research value. B. Its severe harmfulness.
C. Its physical feature. D. Its formation process.
15. What might be NASA’s attitude towards Wells’ team’s findings?
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.

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。
Last summer vacation, I worked as a part-time waiter in a restaurant for the first time. It was challenging for me to adapt to the fast-paced work and communicate with strangers at first. Nevertheless, I was determined to provide customers with good service.
One day, a man and his son came in and spent a very long time looking through the menu. Eventually, the father called me over and started asking me about the ingredients (配料) because his son was allergic (过敏的) . Then the boy handed me a card that listed all the things he was allergic to. It was a lot. I couldn't remember all exactly, but I knew eggs and pork were on the list, as well as a couple of ingredients, like pepper. I asked to borrow the card so I could make a check. He agreed, and off I went.
It turned out that a lot of our ingredients and sauces used at least one thing the boy was allergic to, and the allergy to pork took over half our menu options away on its own. Despite being awfully busy, I spent nearly fifteen minutes checking basically everything on the list. The father seemed pretty surprised that I was going out of my way to figure this out.
Finally, I did figure out what I could do to serve the boy. Because he had an allergy to meat, I washed every piece of the cutting board carefully and wiped the table as pork oil was everywhere.
When I finally placed their dishes on the table, I felt proud of myself for getting everything right. However, that feeling was short-lived. Shortly after they started eating, while I was cleaning the table behind them, I overheard the little boy saying he was feeling uncomfortable all over and was starting to break out in hives (荨麻疹) . That was when I was shocked by the terrible realization — I forgot to tell the chef not to put pepper in the dishes!

【47题答案】
【答案】I immediately dropped what I was doing to apologise and offer help. I rushed to their table, my heart pounding with guilt. The father, understanding the situation, calmly assured me it wasn’t entirely my fault but urged me to inform the kitchen staff immediately. I did as instructed, ensuring the boy was given prompt medical attention. Luckily, his condition stabilized soon after. The restaurant manager also stepped in to offer them a complimentary meal for the inconvenience caused, and they appreciated our prompt response and care.
Unexpectedly the father came to our restaurant the next day, letter in hand. He handed me an envelope. Inside was a heartfelt thank-you note expressing his gratitude for how we handled the situation. He mentioned that despite the mishap, our swift action left a lasting impression. Attached to the note was a small gift card as a token of their appreciation. This experience taught me a valuable lesson in attention to detail and the importance of clear communication in the service industry. It also reminded me that sometimes, mistakes can lead to unexpected kindness and understanding.
