The text from my son said it all: “Dad, there’s an article you were born to write that the world is finally ready for: Bring Back the Handkerchief!” As my son knows, there’s no “bring back” for me. For me, the handkerchief never left.
My mother raised me with several fixed rules. One was that a gentleman always has a clean handkerchief in his right rear pocket, a piece of simple cotton, roughly 15 inches square and less than four inches when folded. I was a dutiful son, but as a child, I had been wondering what it was there for. After 60 years, my body weight now feels wrong if I’m heading out of the house with an empty back pocket.
I am sure this habit has sometimes struck friends but in polite company nobody comments on somebody else’s business. Children like my kids think of my hankie ridiculously old-fashioned and they have their arguments. If you have to be prepared every day for allergies or a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues, which saves you from that disgusting business of blowing your nose in the thing and then stuffing it back in your pants?
Point taken. But a handkerchief is more durable and has a far wider variety of uses. Can you grab the handle of a pot that’s boiling over with a Kleenex? Or do you recall the cases of skinned knees and drippy noses that hankie wiped? In fact, my wife gave me several new handkerchiefs as gifts. Neither of us can count the number of times her eyes have welled up at a movie, or, as happens, she’s needed to blow her nose.
Yet not even my mother could have anticipated the hankie’s new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance. All of us have learnt how hard it is to follow advice from medical experts about not touching your face. Here is an answer. Use your hankie. In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a makeshift DIY mask that can be pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank.
And it will certainly give me the chance to lift my chin and look at my adult children through one eye, asking in her good-hearted way, “What do you have to say now, smarty-pants?”
24. What kind of person is the author in the eye of his son?
A. His father is a born writer.
B. His father lost his handkerchief long ago.
C. His father will bring back the handkerchief.
D. His father has a habit of using handkerchief.
25. How do the younger generation like the handkerchief?
A. They adore it very much.
B. They regard it as fashionable.
C. They consider it inconvenient.
D. They desire to have their own someday.
26. What can be learned from the passage?
A. The function of handkerchiefs has been updated.
B. Handkerchiefs will be taken over by tissues sooner or later.
C. The author’s wife feels embarrassed to give him a handkerchief.
D. The author was ridiculed by his friends for his use of handkerchiefs.
27. What’s the tone of the author in the passage?
A. Bossy B. Humorous C. Pessimistic D. Critical
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者使用手帕的故事描述了手帕在新时代下的作用更迭。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The text from my son said it all: “Dad, there’s an article you were born to write that the world is finally ready for: Bring Back the Handkerchief!” As my son knows, there’s no “bring back” for me. For me, the handkerchief never left.”(儿子发来的短信说明了一切:“爸爸,有一篇你生来就是要写的文章——世界终于准备好了:把手帕拿回来!”我儿子知道,对我来说没有“回来”的可能。对我来说,手帕从未离开过。)可知,对于作者来说,手帕从未离开过,说明作者一直有使用手帕的习惯。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段后两句“Children like my kids think of my hankie ridiculously old-fashioned and they have their arguments. If you have to be prepared every day for allergies or a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues, which saves you from that disgusting business of blowing your nose in the thing and then stuffing it back in your pants?”(像我的孩子们这样的孩子认为我的手帕过时得可笑,他们有他们的道理。如果你必须每天为过敏或感冒做准备,为什么不选择一小包纸巾,这样你就不用再用那个东西擤鼻涕,然后把它塞回裤子里了。)可知,年轻人认为手帕不如纸巾方便。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Yet not even my mother could have anticipated the hankie’s new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance. All of us have learnt how hard it is to follow advice from medical experts about not touching your face. Here is an answer. Use your hankie. In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a makeshift DIY mask that can be pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank.”(然而,即使是我的母亲也没有预料到手帕作为一种基本公共卫生用品的新角色。我们都知道,遵循医学专家关于不触摸脸部的建议是多么困难。这里有一个答案。用你的手帕。在紧急情况下,你的手帕可以成为一个临时的自制面具,可以像强盗进入银行一样把你的下脸拉起来。)可知,手帕之前从未承担过公共卫生用品的作用。由此可知,手帕的功能日新月异了。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段最后一句“In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a makeshift DIY mask that can be pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank.”(在紧急情况下,你的手帕可以成为一个临时的自制面具,可以像强盗进入银行一样把你的下脸拉起来。)及最后一段“And it will certainly give me the chance to lift my chin and look at my adult children through one eye, asking in her good-hearted way, “What do you have to say now, smarty-pants?”(当然,这也会让我有机会抬起下巴,用一只眼睛看着我的成年子女,用她善意的方式问:“你现在有什么要说的,自作聪明的家伙?”)可知,作者语言幽默诙谐。故选B项。
C
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
28. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D It requires parents to help with check-ins.
29. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
30. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
31. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. (去年,Optima Academy Online,一所全虚拟的学校,提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同,吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知,Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问,未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用,但唯一的问题是:出于什么目的,以什么速度?有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里,不与其他孩子进行身体社交,这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知,本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善,可能会产生相反的效果,将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥,贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业,而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知,墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示,如果使用得当,技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源,并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知,Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习,使教育多元化。故选A项。
D
The periodic table of elements is a common sight in classrooms, campus hallways and libraries. The mode periodic table arranges the elements by their atomic numbers and periodic properties (周期性). Several scientists worked over a century to assemble the elements into this format.
In 1789, French chemist Antoine Lavoisiertried grouping the elements as metals and nonmetals. Forty years later, German physicist Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner observed similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements. He arranged them in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads, observing that some properties of the middle element, such as atomic weight and density, approximated the average value of these properties in the other two in each triad.
A breakthrough came with the publication of a revised list of elements and their atomic masses at the first international conference of chemistry in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1860. They concluded hydrogen would be assigned the atomic weight of 1 and that the atomic weight of other elements would be decided by comparison with hydrogen. For example, carbon, being 12 times heavier than hydrogen, would have an atomic weight of 12.
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev created the framework that became the moder periodic table, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered. Mendeleev predicted the properties of some undiscovered elements and gave them names such as “eka-aluminum” for an element with properties similar to aluminum. Later “eka-aluminum” was discovered as gallium.
German chemist Lothar Meyer produced a version of the periodic table similar to Mendeleev’s in 1870. He left gaps for undiscovered elements but never predicted their properties. The Royal Society of London awarded the Davy Medal in 1882 to both Mendeleev and Meyer. The later discovery of elements predicted by Mendeleev verified (证实) his predictions and his periodic table won universal recognition. In 1955 the 101st element was named mendelevium in his honor.
On UNESCO website, it wrote, “The Periodic Table of Chemical Elements is more than just a guide or catalogue of the entire known atoms in the universe; it is essentially a window on the universe, helping to expand our understanding of the world around us.”
32. What is the breakthrough at the conference in Germany?
A. The atomic weight of carbon was calculated by scientists.
B. A brand-new periodic table was published at the meeting.
C. The elements in the table were rearranged by the properties.
D. The atomic weight of elements was quantified based on hydrogen.
33. How did Mendeleev contribute to the modern periodic table?
A. He made it more complete.
B. He made it easier to understand.
C. He was the first to arrange the elements by atomic masses.
D. He discovered many new properties of some known elements.
34. What is the significance of the discovery of the periodic table?
A. It is a window into chemistry.
B. It is a helper to learn about history.
C. It is a guide to exploring the microworld.
D. It is a description of school curricula’s history.
35. How is the text developed?
A. In order of the elements’ importance. B. By following the time order.
C. In order of scientists’ achievements. D. By making comparisons.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了《元素周期表》产生的过程。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A breakthrough came with the publication of a revised list of elements and their atomic masses at the first international conference of chemistry in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1860.

___37___ According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.
Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s good to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. ___38___ Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.
___39___ There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. ___40___ It’s also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste.

G. Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food.
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. C 39. B 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了浪费食物现象的严重性,分析了其原因,节约粮食的必要性和具体措施。
【36题详解】
根据上句“What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? ”(如果你不能把在食堂买的东西都吃了怎么办?)可知,问在餐厅吃不完的饭菜怎么办,所以选项承上启下,说明大多数人的做法,以及带来的后果。根据下句“According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.”(根据一项调查,学生每年浪费的食物可以养活1000多万人)故G选项“我们大多数人会直接扔掉任何剩余的食物”切题。故选G。
【37题详解】
根据上段“According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.”(根据一项调查,学生每年浪费的食物可以养活1000多万人)和本段“According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.”(据新华社报道,中国人每年浪费的粮食大约有5000万吨,这可以养活2亿人。)对比可知中国人浪费掉的粮食能够养活两亿人,说明食堂的浪费现象只是冰山一角,故选D。
【38题详解】
根据本段“Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries.”(食物浪费已经成为一个全球性的问题,它是一面镜子,反映了不同国家的各种文化和社会问题。) 可知食物浪费现象反映一个国家的饮食文化和习惯。所以选项要说到中国的饮食文化。下文“Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.”(中国人以好客和慷慨著称。许多人甚至觉得,如果他们的客人把所有的食物都吃完了,他们会觉得很丢脸。)故C选项“中国也有自己的饮食文化”切题。故选C。
【39题详解】
根据本段“There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. It’s also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. Recently a campaign against food waste launched on line in China might make you think twice about being so wasteful.”(世界上有9.25亿饥饿人口。他们没有足够的食物吃。农民们非常努力地种植庄稼。同样重要的是,每个人都应该思考如何为减少食物浪费尽一份力。最近,中国网上发起了一场反对食物浪费的运动,这可能会让你对这种浪费行为三思而后行。)可知本段讲减少食物浪费所面临的困难。故B选项“减少食物浪费是一项艰巨的任务,需要时间。”故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops.”(世界上有9.25亿饥饿人口。他们没有足够的食物吃。农民们非常努力地种植庄稼。)选项承接上文,说明人们应该怎么做。故E项“我们不应该浪费粮食”切题,故选E。

My First Experience in Career
Last month, I had the privilege of participating in our school’s initiative, “My First Experience in Career.” It aimed to provide students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.
My journey began at a local hospital, where I shadowed as a diligent nurse for a day. Witnessing her interactions with patients, meticulous care, and swift decision-making, I gained a deeper understanding of the immense responsibility and compassion required in this noble profession. It was an eye-opening experience that left me grateful for the healthcare workers who tirelessly save lives.
This practical experience transformed me, increasing my knowledge and igniting ambition. I’m thankful to our school for organizing such a meaningful program and excited for future opportunities.

67. 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。
I stared at myself in the mirror: blue tights, yellow vest, a fish tail trailing behind me, and large eyes sitting at op my head. I raised my eyebrows and sighed.
“Mom, I don’t think this costume is right,” I said. “Maybe the makeup will add something,” Mom replied hopefully.
Somehow Mom had convinced me to play the Fish Footman in Alice in Wonderland. I can’t say it’s been the time of my life.
“What if I forget my lines?” I hesitated.
“Oh Riley, is that what you’re afraid of? I know you’ve been rehearsing for two months, you were the first off-book in your scene, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.” Mom said, kneeling down and hugging me.
The next day we pulled into the parking lot, and I stepped out of the car, wearing the questionable costume. I shrank inside myself, but Mom pulled me toward the makeup room. When the makeup was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. My jaw dropped.
“Mom! I can’t go onstage like this!” I cried.
“Why not?”
“I’d be a laughing stock (笑柄)! ”
“Riley, look around you! You’re not the only one in an odd costume.”
“What if we just sneak out? No one will miss me.” I whispered.
Mom’s lips disappeared into a thin line, and I knew I had gone too far. “Riley, I’m going to watch you go out on that stage tonight. And that’s the end of it.” Then mom disappeared into the audience. I sat there, alone and bored, as the play began and the curtain rose on.
The two boys dressed as Two of Clubs (梅花2) near me chatted casually about this and that. Suddenly, they asked, “You’re awfully quiet. Is this your first show?” I tried to respond, but my voice caught in my throat and refused to escape. I coughed and nearly yelled, “YES!”
The Ace of Diamonds (方块A) sitting nearby laughed. “The audience will certainly hear you if you talk that loud. But you might have to clear your throat first, she chuckled. I gave them a weak smile.
“Don’t worry about us,” the Ace said. “We’re only teasing.”
“Yeah,” the Two said. “When you’ve done as many shows as we have, projecting will be second nature to you.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage uneasily.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly I was determined to make a lasting impression.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage uneasily. The bright lights blinded me for a moment, and I felt the weight of the audience’s expectant gazes. Despite that, my muscle memory took over. We had rehearsed so many times that I was like a robot, reciting my lines in the most monotone (单调的) voice imaginable. A small part of my brain whispered that I had said these lines much better in rehearsal, but I pushed that voice away. I just wanted to get off stage as fast as possible. Soon, the end of my scene was approaching, and I grew uncomfortably aware that the audience had indeed been very quiet during it. Had I done something wrong? Did they not like me?
Paragraph 2: Suddenly I was determined to make a lasting impression. I remembered the Two of Clubs and the Ace of Diamonds, their easy confidence. They, too, had started somewhere, likely just as nervous and uncertain as I was now. Then I straightened my spine, cleared my throat, and yelled with all the force I could muster. Obviously, the audience heard me. As the dialogue began, I found my voice, clear and strong, resonating through the theatre. I moved with purpose, embracing the absurdity of my costume and transforming it into a character that was both comical and endearing. With each passing minute, my confidence grew, fueled by the audience response of laughter and applause, their enjoyment tangible proof that I had overcome my fears. As the final curtain fell, Mom found her way backstage, her eyes shining with pride. “You were amazing, Riley,” she whispered. In that moment, I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone, despite the initial hesitation and fear, had led me to discover a strength within myself that I never knew existed.
【解析】

The text from my son said it all: “Dad, there’s an article you were born to write that the world is finally ready for: Bring Back the Handkerchief!” As my son knows, there’s no “bring back” for me. For me, the handkerchief never left.
My mother raised me with several fixed rules. One was that a gentleman always has a clean handkerchief in his right rear pocket, a piece of simple cotton, roughly 15 inches square and less than four inches when folded. I was a dutiful son, but as a child, I had been wondering what it was there for. After 60 years, my body weight now feels wrong if I’m heading out of the house with an empty back pocket.
I am sure this habit has sometimes struck friends but in polite company nobody comments on somebody else’s business. Children like my kids think of my hankie ridiculously old-fashioned and they have their arguments. If you have to be prepared every day for allergies or a cold, why not choose a little packet of tissues, which saves you from that disgusting business of blowing your nose in the thing and then stuffing it back in your pants?
Point taken. But a handkerchief is more durable and has a far wider variety of uses. Can you grab the handle of a pot that’s boiling over with a Kleenex? Or do you recall the cases of skinned knees and drippy noses that hankie wiped? In fact, my wife gave me several new handkerchiefs as gifts. Neither of us can count the number of times her eyes have welled up at a movie, or, as happens, she’s needed to blow her nose.
Yet not even my mother could have anticipated the hankie’s new role as an Essential Public Health Appliance. All of us have learnt how hard it is to follow advice from medical experts about not touching your face. Here is an answer. Use your hankie. In case of emergency, your handkerchief can become a makeshift DIY mask that can be pulled over your lower face like a robber entering a bank.
And it will certainly give me the chance to lift my chin and look at my adult children through one eye, asking in her good-hearted way, “What do you have to say now, smarty-pants?”
24. What kind of person is the author in the eye of his son?
A. His father is a born writer.
B. His father lost his handkerchief long ago.
C. His father will bring back the handkerchief.
D. His father has a habit of using handkerchief.
25. How do the younger generation like the handkerchief?
A. They adore it very much.
B. They regard it as fashionable.
C They consider it inconvenient.
D. They desire to have their own someday.
26. What can be learned from the passage?
A. The function of handkerchiefs has been updated.
B. Handkerchiefs will be taken over by tissues sooner or later.
C. The author’s wife feels embarrassed to give him a handkerchief.
D. The author was ridiculed by his friends for his use of handkerchiefs.
27. What’s the tone of the author in the passage?
A. Bossy B. Humorous C. Pessimistic D. Critical
C
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
28. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online?
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
29. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education?
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
30 Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________.
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
31. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education?
A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.
D
The periodic table of elements is a common sight in classrooms, campus hallways and libraries. The mode periodic table arranges the elements by their atomic numbers and periodic properties (周期性). Several scientists worked over a century to assemble the elements into this format.
In 1789, French chemist Antoine Lavoisiertried grouping the elements as metals and nonmetals. Forty years later, German physicist Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner observed similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements. He arranged them in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads, observing that some properties of the middle element, such as atomic weight and density, approximated the average value of these properties in the other two in each triad.
A breakthrough came with the publication of a revised list of elements and their atomic masses at the first international conference of chemistry in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1860. They concluded hydrogen would be assigned the atomic weight of 1 and that the atomic weight of other elements would be decided by comparison with hydrogen. For example, carbon, being 12 times heavier than hydrogen, would have an atomic weight of 12.
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev created the framework that became the moder periodic table, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered. Mendeleev predicted the properties of some undiscovered elements and gave them names such as “eka-aluminum” for an element with properties similar to aluminum. Later “eka-aluminum” was discovered as gallium.
German chemist Lothar Meyer produced a version of the periodic table similar to Mendeleev’s in 1870. He left gaps for undiscovered elements but never predicted their properties. The Royal Society of London awarded the Davy Medal in 1882 to both Mendeleev and Meyer. The later discovery of elements predicted by Mendeleev verified (证实) his predictions and his periodic table won universal recognition. In 1955 the 101st element was named mendelevium in his honor.
On UNESCO website, it wrote, “The Periodic Table of Chemical Elements is more than just a guide or catalogue of the entire known atoms in the universe; it is essentially a window on the universe, helping to expand our understanding of the world around us.”
32. What is the breakthrough at the conference in Germany?
A. The atomic weight of carbon was calculated by scientists.
B A brand-new periodic table was published at the meeting.
C. The elements in the table were rearranged by the properties.
D. The atomic weight of elements was quantified based on hydrogen.
33. How did Mendeleev contribute to the modern periodic table?
A. He made it more complete.
B. He made it easier to understand.
C. He was the first to arrange the elements by atomic masses.
D. He discovered many new properties of some known elements.
34. What is the significance of the discovery of the periodic table?
A. It is a window into chemistry.
B. It is a helper to learn about history.
C. It is a guide to exploring the microworld.
D. It is a description of school curricula’s history.
35. How is the text developed?
A. In order of the elements’ importance. B. By following the time order.
C. In order of scientists’ achievements. D. By making comparisons.

67. 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。
I stared at myself in the mirror: blue tights, yellow vest, a fish tail trailing behind me, and large eyes sitting at op my head. I raised my eyebrows and sighed.
“Mom, I don’t think this costume is right,” I said. “Maybe the makeup will add something,” Mom replied hopefully.
Somehow Mom had convinced me to play the Fish Footman in Alice in Wonderland. I can’t say it’s been the time of my life.
“What if I forget my lines?” I hesitated.
“Oh Riley, is that what you’re afraid of? I know you’ve been rehearsing for two months, you were the first off-book in your scene, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.” Mom said, kneeling down and hugging me.
The next day we pulled into the parking lot, and I stepped out of the car, wearing the questionable costume. I shrank inside myself, but Mom pulled me toward the makeup room. When the makeup was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. My jaw dropped.
“Mom! I can’t go onstage like this!” I cried.
“Why not?”
“I’d be a laughing stock (笑柄)! ”
“Riley, look around you! You’re not the only one in an odd costume.”
“What if we just sneak out? No one will miss me.” I whispered.
Mom’s lips disappeared into a thin line, and I knew I had gone too far. “Riley, I’m going to watch you go out on that stage tonight. And that’s the end of it.” Then mom disappeared into the audience. I sat there, alone and bored, as the play began and the curtain rose on.
The two boys dressed as Two of Clubs (梅花2) near me chatted casually about this and that. Suddenly, they asked, “You’re awfully quiet. Is this your first show?” I tried to respond, but my voice caught in my throat and refused to escape. I coughed and nearly yelled, “YES!”
The Ace of Diamonds (方块A) sitting nearby laughed. “The audience will certainly hear you if you talk that loud. But you might have to clear your throat first, she chuckled. I gave them a weak smile.
“Don’t worry about us,” the Ace said. “We’re only teasing.”
“Yeah,” the Two said. “When you’ve done as many shows as we have, projecting will be second nature to you.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage uneasily.

Paragraph 2:
Suddenly I was determined to make a lasting impression.
