You can almost feel the salt stuck on your skin as the ship and its noisy shipmen fight against the bad weather and each other for becoming rich and famous. David Grann,once again, has made history come alive.” —Al Woodworth Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See “I will not soon forget Lady Tan.

This true story of violence and murder, adventure, and ambition on the high seas is a page-turner...David Grann,once again, has made history come alive.(请做好准备。这个关于公海上的暴力、谋杀、冒险和野心的真实故事引人入胜。……大卫·格兰再一次让历史变得生动起来。)”可知，David Grann根据真实故事写了一部小说，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano部分中的“Though divided by centuries, three women, who share a unique connection to the natural world and to one, another, tell their amazing stories of coldness, danger, and survival in a beautifully written novel that is an impressive read(尽管相隔几个世纪，三位女性与自然世界以及彼此有着独特的联系，在一本写得很精美的小说中讲述了她们关于寒冷、危险和生存的惊人故事，读起来令人印象深刻)”和Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See部分中的“A historical story grounded in women, medicine, and tradition, Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is heart-touching, and I found myself underlining throughout this inviting read.(谭女士的《女人圈》是一个植根于女性、医学和传统的历史故事，感人至深，我发现自己在这本引人入胜的读物中强调了这一点。)”可知，Hello Beautiful 和Lady Tan’s Circle of Women的共同之处在于它们都是关于女人的，故选B。 B Njobati, a young woman from Cameroon, faced a challenging journey when she moved from her English-speaking area to a French-speaking area of the country to attend university. The sharp differences between these areas, once part of the British and French empires, made it difficult for her to fit in, which led her to examine her own identity—who she truly was. Seeking guidance, she turned to her grandfather who also felt disconnected from his own culture. He expressed sadness about what the Nso had lost both culturally and materially, including Ngonnso statue. Ngonnso was the founder of Nso dating back to the 14th Century, whose statue was an important cultural symbol for the Nso. However, it was taken by the Germans in 1902 and has been housed in Berlin’s Ethnological Museum ever since. Inspired by her grandfather’s desire and saddened by the loss of culture, Njobati made a promise to bring back the statue. She believed it would not only achieve her grandfather’s wish but connect her with her Nso heritage again. Njobati did many researches about the statue and former unsuccessful attempts. She realized that restitution (归还) was actually about facing the colonial ( 殖民主义的) past. Njobati decided to try differently. To gather support online and offline, Njobati began a grassroots campaign. She organized meetings in community halls and churches, met people one-on-one, and used the power of social media.Through Twitter, she established contact with the Ethnological Museum. Njobati’s tireless efforts paid off. She was told that a decision about Ngonnso statue was coming, which was an important moment for her. “Finally, this is happening. Not just for me, but for the Nso people, and for Cameroon,” She cried. “This also lends a hand to other communities that are seeking justice for stolen culture relics.” 4. What made Njobati decide to bring back the Ngonnso statue? A. Her interest in colonial history. B. Her grandfather’s identity problem. C. Her desire to reconnect with Nso culture. D. Her experience in attending university. 5. What did Njobati do to gain support for her campaign? A. She did wide and complete researches. B. She turned to her grandfather for guidance. C. She contacted the Ethnological Museum directly. D. She organized meetings and using social media. 6. What does “this” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The fight for the statue. B. The promise she made. C. The grassroots campaign. D. The return of the statue. 7. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. A fight against colonialism. B. A cultural fighter. C. A promise for grandpa. D. A stolen cultural symbol. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了来自喀麦隆的年轻女性Njobati如何致力于寻回她祖先的文化遗产——Ngonnso雕像的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Inspired by her grandfather’s desire and saddened by the loss of culture, Njobati made a promise to bring back the statue. She believed it would not only achieve her grandfather’s wish but connect her with her Nso heritage again.(Njobati受到祖父愿望的启发，并为文化的丧失感到悲伤，她承诺要把雕像带回来。她相信这不仅能实现祖父的愿望，还能让她再次与Nso的传统联系起来)”可知，她渴望重新融入Nso文化，让Njobati决定带回Ngonnso雕像。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To gather support online and offline, Njobati began a grassroots campaign. She organized meetings in community halls and churches, met people one-on-one, and used the power of social media.Through Twitter, she established contact with the Ethnological Museum.(为了获得线上和线下的支持，Njobati开始了一场草根运动。她在社区会堂和教堂组织会议，一对一地与人们会面，并利用社交媒体的力量。通过推特，她与民族学博物馆建立了联系)”可知，Njobati通过组织会议并使用社交媒体来获得支持。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。this为代词，代指前文提到的事，根据前文“She was told that a decision about Ngonnso statue was coming, which was an important moment for her.(她被告知关于Ngonnso雕像的决定即将到来，这对她来说是一个重要的时刻)”可知，this代指雕像的回归。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Njobati, a young woman from Cameroon, faced a challenging journey when she moved from her English-speaking area to a French-speaking area of the country to attend university. The sharp differences between these areas, once part of the British and French empires, made it difficult for her to fit in, which led her to examine her own identity—who she truly was.(Njobati是一名来自喀麦隆的年轻女子，当她从讲英语的地区搬到该国讲法语的地区上大学时，她经历了一段充满挑战的旅程。这些地区曾经是英法帝国的一部分，它们之间的巨大差异使她很难融入其中，这促使她审视自己的身份——她到底是谁)”以及纵观全文可知，Njobati为了重新融入Nso文化，通过组织会议并使用社交媒体来获得支持来使之前因为殖民而被夺走的雕像回到自己的文化中，所以B项“A cultural fighter.(一个文化斗士)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 C A new study suggests that mindfulness education — lessons on techniques to calm the mind and body — can reduce the negative effects of stress and increase students’ ability to stay engaged, helping them stay on track academically and avoid behavior problems. After finding that students who self-reported mindful habits performed better on tests and had higher grades, researchers from the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University wanted to know if school-based mindfulness training could help more students reap similar benefits. They designed a study focusing on sixth-graders in a Boston school. The study showed that sixth-graders who participated in an eight-week mindfulness were less stressed out than their classmates who hadn’t. Practicing mindfulness had helped improve the ability to focus in the moment, expanding students’ capacity to learn and regulate their emotions. Four times a week, instructors from Calmer Choice, a Massachusetts nonprofit specializing in mindfulness education, taught the group techniques and led them through practices, like focusing on a rock for a minute, then discussing when their mind wandered and refocused on the rock. Another group of sixth-graders took computer coding during that time instead. The students were randomly assigned between the groups. At the end of the eight weeks, the mindfulness group reported being less stressed than they had been before the mindfulness education, and better able to practice self-control. And their amygdalae, the part of the brain that controls emotion, responded less to pictures of fearful faces than they did prior to the mindfulness work, suggesting their brains were less sensitive to negative stimuli, or, in other words, that they were less likely to get stressed out and lose focus. The group who attended coding classes didn’t see the same benefits. The findings suggest that the mindfulness instruction helped boost students’ attention skills, as well as develop coping mechanisms for stress. The researchers believe it could be especially useful for schools to support students suffering from severe mental damage and other adversities that trigger stress in the body, hurting students’ ability to succeed. 8. What was the purpose of the study? A. To examine the techniques for practicing mindfulness. B. To study the effects of group mindfulness training on students. C. To see how students help themselves to perform better on tests. D. To understand why mindfulness training calms the mind and body. 9. How was the study conducted? A. By listing benefits of mindfulness education. B. By scanning the brain to see how it controls emotions. C. By teaching different students different mindfulness skills. D. By comparing two groups of students attending different classes. 10. What change took place after the students practiced mindfulness work? A. They felt easier to stay focused. B. They were better at computer coding. C. Their mind was wandering more actively. D. Their brains were more aware of negativity. 11. Who are the most possible target readers of the passage? A. Stressful parents. B. Mindful instructors. C. Emotional students. D. School educators. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究表明，正念教育课程可以帮助学生减少压力带来的负面影响，提高他们保持专注的能力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“researchers from the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University wanted to know if school-based mindfulness training could help more students reap similar benefits (哈佛大学教育政策研究中心的研究人员想知道，以学校为基础的正念训练是否能帮助更多的学生获得类似的好处)”可知，该研究探究的是以学校为基础的正念训练对学生是否有类似的好处，即群体正念训练对学生的效果。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Four times a week, instructors from Calmer Choice, a Massachusetts nonprofit specializing in mindfulness education, taught the group techniques and led them through practices (来自马萨诸塞州专注于正念教育的非盈利机构Calmer Choice的教师每周四次教授小组技巧，并带领他们进行练习)”和“Another group of sixth-graders took computer coding during that time instead. (另一组六年级学生在这段时间学习计算机编程。)”可知，研究人员将参与者分成了两个小组，一个小组进行正念训练，另一个小组学习编程。因此，该研究是通过比较学习不同课程的两组学生来进行的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“And their amygdalae, the part of the brain that controls emotion, responded less to pictures of fearful faces than they did prior to the mindfulness work, suggesting their brains were less sensitive to negative stimuli, or, in other words, that they were less likely to get stressed out and lose focus. (他们的大脑中控制情绪的部分——杏仁体，对恐惧面孔的反应比他们在进行正念训练之前要少，这表明他们的大脑对负面刺激不那么敏感，换句话说，他们不太可能感到压力和注意力不集中。)”可知，在学生们进行正念练习后，他们更容易集中注意力，保持专注。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The researchers believe it could be especially useful for schools to support students suffering from severe mental damage and other adversities that trigger stress in the body, hurting students’ ability to succeed. (研究人员认为，这对学校来说尤其有用，可以帮助那些遭受严重精神损伤和其他逆境的学生，这些逆境会引发身体压力，损害学生成功的能力。)”可知，该研究可以很好地指导学校去帮助遭遇精神损伤和其他逆境的学生。由此推知，文章最有可能的目标读者群体是学校的教育者。故选D项。 D For those of us who grew up watching Star Trek, exploring space has been about discovering strange new worlds. And there are plenty of worlds to explore in time, but we still need major technological advancements to reach planets that are light years away. What we are doing in space today is providing unbelievable benefits right now, right here on Earth. From space, we can monitor, manage and care for our planet. Satellite-based sensors show us the short- and long-term effects of human activity on our environment. Many companies are using their interest in space to help solve problems here, from using hyperspectral imaging(高光谱成像), which enable us to map vegetation(植被) and rain forests, to microsatellites that provide global connectivity for the network of things. My company, OneWeb, is focusing on what I believe is one of the world’s most important issues: the need for equal access to the Internet. The Internet has become our economic lifeblood. And yet, nearly half of the world’s population doesn’t have Internet access. Space is playing a key role in bridging this digital divide. OneWeb is launching 1,980 satellites to help bring Internet access to people everywhere, and our first production satellites are already flying in space and have shown very high download speeds. Fiber and cable Internet access technologies already cover most financially viable(可行的) major cities. Similarly, these regions will also be the first to be served with 5G. Poor communities are the last to get connected, and without connectivity, those communities have no chance to lift themselves from poverty. OneWeb’s satellites will reach every community in the world and enable equal access to the Internet for the world’s less developed places. Fifty years from the day when man first walked on the moon, we are still only approaching the possible. There will be tens of thousands of new satellites, space stations and factories in the coming years to bring advancements in communications, scientific research, monitoring the earth, exploring space and more. This is exciting, but we must take action carefully. 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Benefits space exploration can bring to us. B. Problems space exploration leads to. C. Steps of space exploration requires. D. Equipment space exploration needs. 13. What is OneWeb aiming to do? A. Increase download speeds. B. Narrow the gap in Internet learning. C. Help people set up and maintain a website. D. Enable people to make use of the Internet equally. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. More than six decades ago, man first walked on the moon. B. More than half of the world’s people have no access to the Internet. C. OneWeb’s satellites will make it possible for most people to be served with 5G. D. Without the Internet, poor communities can hardly help themselves out of poverty. 15. What will the writer probably continue to write about in the following paragraph? A. The risks of furthering space exploration. B. The value of setting up space stations. C. The way we could monitor our earth. D The features of microsatellites. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了我们在太空中取得的进步给地球带来了难以置信的好处，但我们仍然需要谨慎。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段首句“What we are doing in space today is providing unbelievable benefits right now, right here on Earth.(我们今天在太空中所做的一切，在地球上此时此地正在提供令人难以置信的好处。)”并结合下文内容可知，本段主要讲述了太空探索带来的好处。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“My company, OneWeb, is focusing on what I believe is one of the world’s most important issues: the need for equal access to the Internet. (我的公司OneWeb正专注于我认为是世界上最重要的问题之一：平等访问互联网的需要。)”可知，OneWeb致力于让人们能够拥有平等使用互联网的机会。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Poor communities are the last to get connected, and without connectivity, those communities have no chance to lift themselves from poverty.(贫困社区是最后一个建立连接的社区，如果没有连接，这些社区就没有机会摆脱贫困。)”可推出，如果没有网络，贫困社区很难摆脱贫困。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There will be tens of thousands of new satellites, space stations and factories in the coming years to bring advancements in communications, scientific research, monitoring the earth, exploring space and more. This is exciting, but we must take action carefully.(未来几年，将有数以万计的新卫星、空间站和工厂，为通信、科学研究、地球监测、太空探索等领域带来进步。这是令人兴奋的，但我们必须谨慎地采取行动。)”可知，作者在文章最后提到，虽然未来我们将继续在太空中取得进度，但我们需要谨慎采取行动，由此可推测，接下来可能会讲述进一步探索太空有可能遇到的风险，这属于导致要谨慎行动的潜在因素。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’ve ever hesitated in a crowded museum gallery, wondering how to appreciate it properly, these tips will help you fully experience your artistic journey.

The temperatures were getting cooler and cooler, the air was turning drier, and I could already see the first yellow and red leaves on the trees. It’s my favorite season. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, which made people feel very comfortable. You could see fruit everywhere. Therefore, I spent as much time as possible in the wild enjoying the beauty of nature. One day’, I had just finished taking my dogs for their morning walk when I noticed something. There was a young maple tree growing in my hallway. It was growing out of a tiny pile of earth on the porch (门廊) . Its bottom hadn’t even turned to wood yet, but it had three lovely red leaves growing out of it. I smiled at this strong little tree getting so much growth and life out of so little soil. I knew, however, that it couldn’t grow much larger where it was. I bent (弯腰) down and gently took it out of the earth. I took it inside to show my daughter and have her take a picture of it. Then I walked with it out to the edge of the woods around the grass land behind my house. Walking into the forest, I had a wonderful feeling. Nature can teach us so much about life. There are so many wonders, growth, and beauty in it. You can’t be out in it for long without being filled with wonder and respect. I also took a moment to look at all the life around me. There were trees, bushes, weeds, flowers, butterflies, bees, spiders, and birds all’ so full of life. And I felt so happy that my behavior, however small, was helping do good to nature. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I wanted to find a happy home for this young tree, to grow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Following my daughter’s suggestion, we built a garden to save plants. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: I wanted to find a happy home for this young tree, to grow freely and strong.

The tree seemed happy in its new home, its leaves glistening in the sunlight. I knew that this little tree would grow strong and tall, just like all the other trees in the forest. Para 2: Following my daughter’s suggestion, we built a garden to save plants. We collected seeds and seedlings from around the neighborhood, planting them in our small plot of land. We watered them regularly, watching them grow and bloom. It was a beautiful garden, full of life and color. Our neighbors joined us, and soon, the whole community was involved. The garden became a place where people came together, sharing stories and laughter. It was a reminder of the beauty and importance of nature, and a symbol of our commitment to protecting it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在秋天外出散步的时候注意到了一棵小枫树，长出了三片可爱的红叶。因为担心小树，作者把小树挪到了一个高大的树木旁边，希望它会长得又壮又高。作者还和女儿建了一个花园来保存植物，邻居也加入进来，他们建了一个美丽的花园。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想给这棵小树找一个幸福的家，让它自由茁壮地成长”可知，第一段可描写作者给小树找到了一棵大树作为依靠，希望小树可以长得好。 ②由第二段首句内容“按照我女儿的建议，我们建了一个花园来保存植物”可知，第二段可描写作者和女儿修建花园，邻居也加入了进来。 2.续写线索：给小树找家——给小树搬家——给予小树期望——修建花园——邻居加入——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：search for/look for ②定期：regularly/on a regular basis ③加入：join/engage in 情绪类 ①美丽：beautiful/gorgeous ②快乐：happy/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Finally, I found a small clearing in the woods, surrounded by taller trees that would provide shade and protection.

Below are the top 4 picks, along with quotes from the editors. Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano “Though divided by centuries, three women, who share a unique connection to the natural world and to one, another, tell their amazing stories of coldness, danger, and survival in a beautifully written novel that is an impressive read.” —Seira Wilson Happy Place by Emily Henry “Emily Henry’s latest has all the feels!More than your standard second-chance romance, Happy Place is about the beauty, pain, and joy that come with biological families, chosen families, growing up and apart, and how—as adults—we deal with this thing called life.”—Kami Tei The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder by David Grann “Please get ready.

David Grann,once again, has made history come alive.” —Al Woodworth Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See “I will not soon forget Lady Tan.

B Njobati, a young woman from Cameroon, faced a challenging journey when she moved from her English-speaking area to a French-speaking area of the country to attend university. The sharp differences between these areas, once part of the British and French empires, made it difficult for her to fit in, which led her to examine her own identity—who she truly was. Seeking guidance, she turned to her grandfather who also felt disconnected from his own culture. He expressed sadness about what the Nso had lost both culturally and materially, including Ngonnso statue. Ngonnso was the founder of Nso dating back to the 14th Century, whose statue was an important cultural symbol for the Nso. However, it was taken by the Germans in 1902 and has been housed in Berlin’s Ethnological Museum ever since. Inspired by her grandfather’s desire and saddened by the loss of culture, Njobati made a promise to bring back the statue. She believed it would not only achieve her grandfather’s wish but connect her with her Nso heritage again. Njobati did many researches about the statue and former unsuccessful attempts. She realized that restitution (归还) was actually about facing the colonial ( 殖民主义的) past. Njobati decided to try differently. To gather support online and offline, Njobati began a grassroots campaign. She organized meetings in community halls and churches, met people one-on-one, and used the power of social media.Through Twitter, she established contact with the Ethnological Museum. Njobati’s tireless efforts paid off. She was told that a decision about Ngonnso statue was coming, which was an important moment for her. “Finally, this is happening. Not just for me, but for the Nso people, and for Cameroon,” She cried. “This also lends a hand to other communities that are seeking justice for stolen culture relics.” 4. What made Njobati decide to bring back the Ngonnso statue? A. Her interest in colonial history. B. Her grandfather’s identity problem. C. Her desire to reconnect with Nso culture. D. Her experience in attending university. 5. What did Njobati do to gain support for her campaign? A. She did wide and complete researches. B. She turned to her grandfather for guidance. C. She contacted the Ethnological Museum directly. D. She organized meetings and using social media. 6. What does “this” refer to in the last paragraph? A. The fight for the statue. B. The promise she made. C. The grassroots campaign. D. The return of the statue. 7. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. A fight against colonialism. B. A cultural fighter. C. A promise for grandpa. D. A stolen cultural symbol. C A new study suggests that mindfulness education — lessons on techniques to calm the mind and body — can reduce the negative effects of stress and increase students’ ability to stay engaged, helping them stay on track academically and avoid behavior problems. After finding that students who self-reported mindful habits performed better on tests and had higher grades researchers from the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University wanted to know if school-based mindfulness training could help more students reap similar benefits. They designed a study focusing on sixth-graders in a Boston school. The study showed that sixth-graders who participated in an eight-week mindfulness were less stressed out than their classmates who hadn’t. Practicing mindfulness had helped improve the ability to focus in the moment, expanding students’ capacity to learn and regulate their emotions. Four times a week, instructors from Calmer Choice, a Massachusetts nonprofit specializing in mindfulness education, taught the group techniques and led them through practices, like focusing on a rock for a minute, then discussing when their mind wandered and refocused on the rock. Another group of sixth-graders took computer coding during that time instead. The students were randomly assigned between the groups. At the end of the eight weeks, the mindfulness group reported being less stressed than they had been before the mindfulness education, and better able to practice self-control. And their amygdalae, the part of the brain that controls emotion, responded less to pictures of fearful faces than they did prior to the mindfulness work, suggesting their brains were less sensitive to negative stimuli, or, in other words, that they were less likely to get stressed out and lose focus. The group who attended coding classes didn’t see the same benefits. The findings suggest that the mindfulness instruction helped boost students’ attention skills, as well as develop coping mechanisms for stress. The researchers believe it could be especially useful for schools to support students suffering from severe mental damage and other adversities that trigger stress in the body, hurting students’ ability to succeed. 8. What was the purpose of the study? A. To examine the techniques for practicing mindfulness. B. To study the effects of group mindfulness training on students. C. To see how students help themselves to perform better on tests. D. To understand why mindfulness training calms the mind and body. 9. How was the study conducted? A. By listing benefits of mindfulness education. B. By scanning the brain to see how it controls emotions. C. By teaching different students different mindfulness skills. D. By comparing two groups of students attending different classes. 10. What change took place after the students practiced mindfulness work? A. They felt easier to stay focused. B. They were better at computer coding. C. Their mind was wandering more actively. D. Their brains were more aware of negativity. 11. Who are the most possible target readers of the passage? A. Stressful parents. B. Mindful instructors. C. Emotional students. D. School educators. D For those of us who grew up watching Star Trek, exploring space has been about discovering strange new worlds. And there are plenty of worlds to explore in time, but we still need major technological advancements to reach planets that are light years away. What we are doing in space today is providing unbelievable benefits right now, right here on Earth. From space, we can monitor, manage and care for our planet. Satellite-based sensors show us the short- and long-term effects of human activity on our environment. Many companies are using their interest in space to help solve problems here, from using hyperspectral imaging(高光谱成像), which enable us to map vegetation(植被) and rain forests, to microsatellites that provide global connectivity for the network of things. My company, OneWeb, is focusing on what I believe is one of the world’s most important issues: the need for equal access to the Internet. The Internet has become our economic lifeblood. And yet, nearly half of the world’s population doesn’t have Internet access. Space is playing a key role in bridging this digital divide. OneWeb is launching 1,980 satellites to help bring Internet access to people everywhere, and our first production satellites are already flying in space and have shown very high download speeds. Fiber and cable Internet access technologies already cover most financially viable(可行) major cities. Similarly, these regions will also be the first to be served with 5G. Poor communities are the last to get connected, and without connectivity, those communities have no chance to lift themselves from poverty. OneWeb’s satellites will reach every community in the world and enable equal access to the Internet for the world’s less developed places. Fifty years from the day when man first walked on the moon, we are still only approaching the possible. There will be tens of thousands of new satellites, space stations and factories in the coming years to bring advancements in communications, scientific research, monitoring the earth, exploring space and more. This is exciting, but we must take action carefully. 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Benefits space exploration can bring to us. B. Problems space exploration leads to. C. Steps of space exploration requires. D. Equipment space exploration needs. 13. What is OneWeb aiming to do? A. Increase download speeds. B. Narrow the gap in Internet learning. C. Help people set up and maintain a website. D. Enable people to make use of the Internet equally. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. More than six decades ago, man first walked on the moon. B. More than half of the world’s people have no access to the Internet. C. OneWeb’s satellites will make it possible for most people to be served with 5G. D. Without the Internet, poor communities can hardly help themselves out of poverty. 15. What will the writer probably continue to write about in the following paragraph? A. The risks of furthering space exploration. B. The value of setting up space stations. C. The way we could monitor our earth. D. The features of microsatellites. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’ve ever hesitated in a crowded museum gallery, wondering how to appreciate it properly, these tips will help you fully experience your artistic journey.

The temperatures were getting cooler and cooler, the air was turning drier, and I could already see the first yellow and red leaves on the trees. It’s my favorite season. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, which made people feel very comfortable. You could see fruit everywhere. Therefore, I spent as much time as possible in the wild enjoying the beauty of nature. One day’, I had just finished taking my dogs for their morning walk when I noticed something. There was a young maple tree growing in my hallway. It was growing out of a tiny pile of earth on the porch (门廊) . Its bottom hadn’t even turned to wood yet, but it had three lovely red leaves growing out of it. I smiled at this strong little tree getting so much growth and life out of so little soil. I knew, however, that it couldn’t grow much larger where it was. I bent (弯腰) down and gently took it out of the earth. I took it inside to show my daughter and have her take a picture of it. Then I walked with it out to the edge of the woods around the grass land behind my house. Walking into the forest, I had a wonderful feeling. Nature can teach us so much about life. There are so many wonders, growth, and beauty in it. You can’t be out in it for long without being filled with wonder and respect. I also took a moment to look at all the life around me. There were trees, bushes, weeds, flowers, butterflies, bees, spiders, and birds all’ so full of life. And I felt so happy that my behavior, however small, was helping do good to nature. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I wanted to find a happy home for this young tree, to grow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Following my daughter’s suggestion, we built a garden to save plants. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
