18 years ago, a 14-year-old boy from Kasungu district in Malawi was forced to drop out of school for lack of fees. At the same time, a severe famine was destroying his village, claiming people’s lives and leaving desperation in its wake.
This was a situation to break the strongest of minds but William Kamkwamba did not give up. Young as he was, he knew that education was where his future lay. He found hope in the library and feasted on the knowledge that he harvested from its books. It was there that he came across a science textbook entitled Using Energy. He learned that he could generate electricity using wind. The youngster realized that, if mastered, this power could help his village in exceptional ways.
Armed with determination and an iron will, the teenager set out to build a windmill out of random materials from a scrapyard (垃圾场). Though his outside world was collapsing to dust, the youngster did not hesitate about his purpose. He defended himself from all doubt and criticism. He worked tirelessly until his dream of bringing electricity to his village became reality. Soon, he was caught in the center of media attention that took him to new places that he would never have stepped on without his invention.
In his village, the dust has not settled yet and the winds of change continue to blow across the land. Windmills pump water to irrigate crops, sweeping away another period of hunger. William’s former primary school boasts new and stronger buildings, thanks to the help of well-wishers and the villagers’ united efforts.
What seemed like a hopeless situation has been turned into an inspirational story that motivates each and every one of us, persuading us that no misfortune is set in stone. William refused to be a school drop-out forever. He sought solutions for his problems and continued fighting even when the going got tough. He was able to rise above poverty to become a graduate from one of America’s best universities, Dartmouth College.
4. What inspired William to bring electricity to his village?
A. His realization of the impact of electricity. B. His awareness of the role of education.
C. The science textbook entitled Using Energy. D. The severe famine destroying his village.
5. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A All people didn’t support William’s dream at first.
B. The public had little interest in William’s invention.
C. The invention enabled William to make a big fortune.
D. The windmill is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
6. What does the underlined words “set in stone”in the last paragraph mean?
A. Visible. B. Avoidable. C. Unchangeable. D. Unpredictable.
7. What message does the author want to convey in this story?
A. Knowledge feasts mind and education promises wealth.
B. Necessity inspires invention and hardship makes heroes.
C. Criticism promotes success and doubt facilitates creation.
D. Adversity motivates inspiration and support pushes solutions.

Lord Norman Foster, renowned as one of the world’s foremost architects, has devoted decades to redefining the concept of tall buildings. “What we’ve done is create a sense of identify drawn from real needs,” Foster said. “It’s not a fashionable idea, but generated from the realities we were in.” His masterpiece includes iconic structures such as the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Now, he’s set his sights on Qatar.
Currently nearing completion and set to reach a height of 301 meters, Foster’s Lusail Towers are ready to claim the title of Qatar’s tallest buildings. Lusail Towers are intended to serve as a center for Qatar’s financial institutions, with four distinctive blocks, two standing at 70 stories and two at 50 stories.
But the construction itself wasn’t all plain sailing. To address the unique challenges presented by Qatar’s hot climate, Foster’s team had to depart from the materials commonly used in skyscrapers in cooler countries — part of what Foster called a decades-long quest to “reinvent the tall building.” The design combines advanced shading with ventilation (通风), while the towers’ surfaces are coated with “marine-grade”aluminum (铝) that wraps around the buildings, protecting the glass from strong sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. Central to the project are special shading fins (鳍), which not only optimize views and natural lighting for occupants but reduce solar radiation by 70% compared to traditional all-glass towers.
While the towers are ready to become a recognizable landmark for Lusail, Foster believes that a city’s skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial to integrate the towers into a “low-scale master plan.” They are strategically positioned on top of a subway line and at the end of a commercial avenue linking the waterfront (滨水区) to the nearby football stadium. According to Foster, the ground features of the plaza will play a significant role in the objective of transforming the area into a lively public space for the future.
8. According to Foster’s concept, what should tall buildings be like?
A. Renowned. B. Identical.
C. Fashionable D. Practical.
9. What can we learn about the Lusail Towers?
A. They will function as a global financial center. B. They are expected to be Qartar’s tallest building.
C. They are Foster’s most renowned iconic masterpiece. D. They have four blocks with the same style and height.
10. What was the solution to the challenges caused by Qatar’s hot climate?
A. Coating the tower with an unconventional material.
B. Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.
C. Replacing the glass with “marine-grade” aluminum.
D. Protecting the glass from natural light and solar radiation.
11. What’s the goal of “low-scale master plan”?
A. To link the waterfront to the football stadium. B. To create a remarkable plaza for the citizens.
C. To offer a dynamic public space for the future. D. To connect a subway and a commercial avenue.
D
Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things — plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species.
To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity.
FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites.
For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it.
Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies.
12. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on?
A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity.
C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities.
13. What is an advantage of FiloBot?
A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body.
C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot.
C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot’s design.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text?
A. A Role Model for Robotics Research
B. A Glimpse into the World of Robotics
C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics
D. A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom

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。
Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, last December when something caught his eye. Among the fallen branches and leaves, it looked like litter. But Bamburg was attracted and picked it up.
“God just told me,” he later recounted.
As he drew closer, he saw that it was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll. With love, Luna.”
Bamburg’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scenario. “Years ago,” he says, “classes at school released balloons with notes. I’ve always wanted to find one.”
He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he knew he was going to make Luna’s wish come true too.
However, the task seemed impossible, as Liberal, Kansas, is more than 650 miles from Grand Cane, Louisiana. But Bamburg’s wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, didn’t mind the distance. As an enthusiastic Facebook user, she had seen other people find all sorts of connections through the site and thought it might help her husband find Luna.
The next day Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.
At first, he wasn’t confident the strategy would work. But as he saw the number of shares and comments on his post climbed into the hundreds, his hope grew into expectation. “I knew we were going to find Luna.” Alvin said.
And indeed, they did.
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。
One day Luna’s mother came across the post.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When they arrived at Luna’s home, the entire family was surprised.

18 years ago, a 14-year-old boy from Kasungu district in Malawi was forced to drop out of school for lack of fees. At the same time, a severe famine was destroying his village, claiming people’s lives and leaving desperation in its wake.
This was a situation to break the strongest of minds but William Kamkwamba did not give up. Young as he was, he knew that education was where his future lay. He found hope in the library and feasted on the knowledge that he harvested from its books. It was there that he came across a science textbook entitled Using Energy. He learned that he could generate electricity using wind. The youngster realized that, if mastered, this power could help his village in exceptional ways.
Armed with determination and an iron will, the teenager set out to build a windmill out of random materials from a scrapyard (垃圾场). Though his outside world was collapsing to dust, the youngster did not hesitate about his purpose. He defended himself from all doubt and criticism. He worked tirelessly until his dream of bringing electricity to his village became reality. Soon, he was caught in the center of media attention that took him to new places that he would never have stepped on without his invention.
In his village, the dust has not settled yet and the winds of change continue to blow across the land. Windmills pump water to irrigate crops, sweeping away another period of hunger. William’s former primary school boasts new and stronger buildings, thanks to the help of well-wishers and the villagers’ united efforts.
What seemed like a hopeless situation has been turned into an inspirational story that motivates each and every one of us, persuading us that no misfortune is set in stone. William refused to be a school drop-out forever. He sought solutions for his problems and continued fighting even when the going got tough. He was able to rise above poverty to become a graduate from one of America’s best universities, Dartmouth College.
4. What inspired William to bring electricity to his village?
A. His realization of the impact of electricity. B. His awareness of the role of education.
C. The science textbook entitled Using Energy. D. The severe famine destroying his village.

Lord Norman Foster, renowned as one of the world’s foremost architects, has devoted decades to redefining the concept of tall buildings. “What we’ve done is create a sense of identify drawn from real needs,” Foster said. “It’s not a fashionable idea, but generated from the realities we were in.” His masterpiece includes iconic structures such as the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Now, he’s set his sights on Qatar.
Currently nearing completion and set to reach a height of 301 meters, Foster’s Lusail Towers are ready to claim the title of Qatar’s tallest buildings. Lusail Towers are intended to serve as a center for Qatar’s financial institutions, with four distinctive blocks, two standing at 70 stories and two at 50 stories.
But the construction itself wasn’t all plain sailing. To address the unique challenges presented by Qatar’s hot climate, Foster’s team had to depart from the materials commonly used in skyscrapers in cooler countries — part of what Foster called a decades-long quest to “reinvent the tall building.” The design combines advanced shading with ventilation (通风), while the towers’ surfaces are coated with “marine-grade”aluminum (铝) that wraps around the buildings, protecting the glass from strong sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. Central to the project are special shading fins (鳍), which not only optimize views and natural lighting for occupants but reduce solar radiation by 70% compared to traditional all-glass towers.
While the towers are ready to become a recognizable landmark for Lusail, Foster believes that a city’s skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial to integrate the towers into a “low-scale master plan.” They are strategically positioned on top of a subway line and at the end of a commercial avenue linking the waterfront (滨水区) to the nearby football stadium. According to Foster, the ground features of the plaza will play a significant role in the objective of transforming the area into a lively public space for the future.
8. According to Foster’s concept, what should tall buildings be like?
A. Renowned. B. Identical.
C. Fashionable D. Practical.
9. What can we learn about the Lusail Towers?
A. They will function as a global financial center. B. They are expected to be Qartar’s tallest building.
C. They are Foster’s most renowned iconic masterpiece. D. They have four blocks with the same style and height.
10. What was the solution to the challenges caused by Qatar’s hot climate?
A. Coating the tower with an unconventional material.
B. Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.
C. Replacing the glass with “marine-grade” aluminum.
D. Protecting the glass from natural light and solar radiation.
11. What’s the goal of “low-scale master plan”?
A. To link the waterfront to the football stadium. B. To create a remarkable plaza for the citizens.
C. To offer a dynamic public space for the future. D. To connect a subway and a commercial avenue.

Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things — plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species.
To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity.
FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites.
For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it.
Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies.
12. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on?
A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity.
C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities.
13. What is an advantage of FiloBot?
A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body.
C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot.
C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot’s design.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text?
A. A Role Model for Robotics Research

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国国家博物馆推出的第一部原创舞台剧《盛世欢歌》,帮助让中国文化遗产复兴。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:2023年5月,中国国家博物馆推出了第一部原创舞台剧《盛世欢歌》,这是一个旨在让文化遗产再次活跃起来的项目的一部分。空处应用形容词性物主代词its,作定语修饰first original stage play。故填its。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:该剧的灵感来源于中国国家博物收藏的一件东汉时期的作品,击鼓说唱陶俑,在融合戏剧、音乐剧和歌剧等艺术形式的同时,呈现了古代陶瓷人物与观众之间的梦幻“对话”。根据空后的“play”可知,这里特指前面提到的“Joyful Songs In A Flourishing Age”,应加定冠词the。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。while引导时间状语从句,从句中省略了和主句一致的主语。逻辑主语play和integrate之间是主谓关系,所以应用现在分词。故填integrating。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:跨越时间和空间的对话正在中国国家博物馆以新的方式进行。根据空后的“time and space”和上文中的“a fantasy “dialogue” between the ancient ceramic(陶瓷的) figures and the audience”可知,这里表示跨越时空的对话,应用介词across,意为“跨越,横过”。故填across。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国国家博物馆的中国古代展厅内展出的夏、商、周青铜展品经常让游客对中国古代文明印象深刻。分析句子结构,本句的谓语是lead,空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语The bronze exhibits和display之间是动宾关系,所以应用过去分词,作后置定语。故填displayed。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。lead sb. to do sth.意为“让某人做某事”,不定式作宾补,逻辑主语visitors和impress之间是动宾关系,所以这里应用不定式的被动形式。故填to be impressed。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:事实证明,以博物馆藏品图像为特色的收藏卡也很受游客欢迎。image意为“图像”,为可数名词,根据空后的“of the museum’s collections”可知,这里表示不止一个图像,应用名词复数。故填images。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自2018年以来,中国国家博物开发了虚拟展厅,并在其社交媒体平台上发布了短视频。根据句中的时间状语“Since 2018”可知,这里应用现在完成时。主语为the NMC,谓语应用单数。故填has developed。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:文化创意产品不仅可以弥合差距,还可以帮助游客更好地理解隐藏的文化含义。not only...but (also)...为固定搭配,意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构,空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语cultural meanings和hide之间是动宾关系,所以这里应用过去分词,作定语。故填hidden。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, last December when something caught his eye. Among the fallen branches and leaves, it looked like litter. But Bamburg was attracted and picked it up.
“God just told me,” he later recounted.
As he drew closer, he saw that it was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child’s Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll. With love, Luna.”
Bamburg’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scenario. “Years ago,” he says, “classes at school released balloons with notes. I’ve always wanted to find one.”
He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he knew he was going to make Luna’s wish come true too.
However, the task seemed impossible, as Liberal, Kansas, is more than 650 miles from Grand Cane, Louisiana. But Bamburg’s wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, didn’t mind the distance. As an enthusiastic Facebook user, she had seen other people find all sorts of connections through the site and thought it might help her husband find Luna.
The next day Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.
At first, he wasn’t confident the strategy would work. But as he saw the number of shares and comments on his post climbed into the hundreds, his hope grew into expectation. “I knew we were going to find Luna.” Alvin said.
And indeed, they did.

【答案】范文
One day Luna’s mother came across the post. Her heart skipped a beat as he recognized her daughter’s handwriting. It was indeed Luna’s wish list that had somehow travelled all those miles, across states and through the woods, to find its way into Alvin’s hands. Excitedly, she contacted Alvin, confirming that the list belonged to her daughter, Luna. Overjoyed, Alvin and Lee Ann immediately set out to fulfill Luna’s wishes. With all the gifts ready, Alvin and Lee Ann decided to deliver them to Luna personally. They drove the long distance from Louisiana to Kansas, eager to surprise Luna.
When they arrived at Luna’s home, the entire family was surprised. Seeing this stranger holding the gifts filled Luna with delight. She eagerly received each gift, her eyes sparkling with joy. Alvin watched Luna’s delighted face with a heart full of contentment. It was as if he had fulfilled a childhood dream of his own. They spent a wonderful day together. Since then, every Christmas, Alvin receives heartfelt thank-you letters and handmade cards from Luna. Their friendship, despite the distance, has become a lasting legend. And that forgotten balloon in the woods remains a cherished memory between them.
