The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 24. Why did the writer decide to go on a surfing trip to Portugal? A. To get better at skills they already had. B. To complete some work tasks in Portugal. C. To face a new challenge and pick up a new skill. D. To reconnect with an old friend from high school. 25. How does the writer feel about adults concentrating on just one area of expertise? A. It limits one’s skills. B. It’s crucial for doing well in one’s career. C. It encourages creativity and exploration. D. It messes with balancing work and personal life. 26. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s experience with surfing? A Calming but unforeseeable. B. Demanding and annoying. C. Challenging but fulfilling. D. Dull and uneventful. 27. What insight did the writer get from her surfing adventure? A. The significance of specializing in one particular area. B. The advantages of traveling with people you don’t know. C. The necessity of getting formal training for all new abilities. D. The importance of stretching your boundaries and experimenting. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者通过葡萄牙的冲浪之旅，感悟到了突破极限和尝试新事物的价值。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves.(十位年龄从30岁到45岁不等的陌生女性将聚集在葡萄牙海岸，迎接在大西洋海浪中冲浪的挑战。)”和文章倒数第二段“Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.(学习一项新技能教会了我在新事物上做得不好时的谦卑，以及当你最终掌握了你一直在做的事情时产生的自豪感。)”可知，接受挑战和学习新技能的愿望促使作者加入了葡萄牙的冲浪之旅。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth.(提高我们的专业知识，在我们选择的领域变得越来越有知识，这是一种自豪感，但无意中，这种关注往往使其他技能得不到发展，导致忽视其他潜在的增长领域。)”可知，作者对成年人专注于掌握一个领域的看法是，这缩小了一个人的能力。故选A。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第七段“Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air.(在我们出色的教练的带领下，我们一起面对海浪。有时，下着大雨，海浪在我们周围拍打，但我们仍然在那里。每一次滑倒，空气中都充满了鼓励的话语。)”和文章第八段“Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked.(说实话，我可能大部分时间都冻得骨头都僵了，但这并不重要，因为真正的快乐和个人成就的新水平已经被解锁了。)”可知，作者的冲浪经历很具有挑战性，但很值得。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on..(学习一项新技能教会了我在新事物上做得不好时的谦卑，以及当你最终掌握了你一直在做的事情时产生的自豪感。)”和文章最后一段“You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.(如果你不去尝试，你永远不知道你能做什么。)”可推知，作者从冲浪经历中获得的智慧是突破极限和尝试新事物的价值。故选D。 C Starship Technologies originated in Estonia but is now based in San Francisco. The company employs dozens of six-wheeled delivery robots on college campuses. Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Currently, the company operates on 20 college campuses in 15 states with a global fleet that totals 1,000 robots. This expansion will add 85 more robots to that fleet. Starship states that it has done over 1.5 million deliveries worldwide since its founding in 2014. The company has raised $102 million so far, including $17 million in fresh funding announced earlier this year. Each robot in Starship is electric, has a box that can fit about 20 pounds of goods, and has a number of cameras to identify objects in the way and help guide it to its destination. The robots have a delivery area of three to four miles and can travel at a maximum speed of 4mph, which is obviously slower than a delivery by a human on a bike or in a car. And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings. Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex. Recently, Postmates has also invented a delivery robot called Serve that can carry 50 pounds of goods. There are even some newly produced robots like Nuro, which has made what can be best described as a mini-robotic car, and others that fall somewhere in between. All claim to be automated, but some still require humans to follow their movements. Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants. 28. What do we know about Starship Technologies from Paragraph 1? A. It operates globally. B. It employs university students as designers. C. It is spreading its service on campuses. D. It is diversifying into the field of scientific education. 29. Why do people in high-rise buildings show little interest in delivery robots? A. They are likely to get lost. B. They work much slower than men. C. They have difficulty going up stairs. D. They are unable to identify customers. 30. What does the underlined word “brave” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. New. B.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Starship Technologies公司的配送机器人业务，包括其在大学校园的运营情况、机器人的特点以及配送机器人市场的现状和未来发展趋势。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.(Starship还在其运营领域增加了四所新学校:伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校、肯塔基大学、内华达大学和安柏瑞德航空大学)”可知，Starship Technologies正在扩展其在校园中的服务。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings.(它们可以爬到路边，但不能爬楼梯，这可能会限制它们对住在高层建筑里的顾客的吸引力)”可知，高层建筑里的人对快递机器人不感兴趣的原因是：它们上楼有困难。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词所在句子“Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex.(在美国，通过机器人送货仍然相对brave。有几家初创公司在运营大小不一的送货机器人，从Udelv这样的全尺寸小型货车到Amazon和Yandex等几乎与Starship类似的机器人，应有尽有)”可知，通过机器人进行配送在美国仍然是相对较新的尝试，有一些初创公司正在运营不同大小的配送机器人，这说明“brave”在此处意味着“新的”。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants.(自疫情爆发以来，对送货机器人的需求有所上升，但随着经济重新开放，依赖餐馆外卖的人越来越少，这种需求是否会持续下去还有待观察)”可推知，作者很客观地看待人们对快递机器人行业的未来需求。故选B。 D I grew up hearing, “Figure it out, but don’t look it up.” I use this advice when I’m tempted (诱惑) to turn to a search engine for answers. Should all of us limit our use of technology? Nicholas Carr, the author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, says that we should take some time away from screens. “Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet. People tend to look up a question and end up skimming (浏览) through unrelated information. Some people might not even notice when they start mindlessly clicking. In “Cognitive Offloading: How the Internet Is Changing the Human Brain”, Philip Perry describes a test that compared two groups. One group couldn’t use any sort of device to answer questions. The other group was allowed to use Google. The group that had access to their smartphones immediately looked up answers on the Internet. The group without smartphones were quicker at answering questions because they didn’t reach for their smartphones. While it’s true that the Internet gives us answers quickly and reliably, we may forget that we can get the answers so easily. David Price, a guest blogger on a website, says that teaching may be getting easier with Google because parents can now use the Internet to help with their kids’ homework. This led me to think about our schooldays. When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every opportunity even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem. The Internet is like that because we know the answers to many questions we search for. We have to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving so we don’t forget how to do so. If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own. I understand that the problems with technology are only when it is used in a certain way, but it’s not the solution to every problem. The positives of technology don’t remove the negatives. It’s time to take a step back from technology and take a break from our devices. 32. What may happen when we’re using the Internet? A. We will be in a good mood. B. We will become less efficient. C. We will find it hard to think deeply. D. We will respond quickly to information. 33. What does the test in Paragraph 3 show? A. People are easily tempted by the information on the Internet. B. People don’t have to rely on the Internet all the time. C. A limit to the spread of the Internet is necessary. D. Webs can offer answers more reliably. 34. Why does the author mention his school math test? A. To show different learning methods at different times. B. To stress the importance of learning by ourselves. C. To express his agreement to Price’s opinion. D. To praise the development of technology. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is teaching becoming easier with parents’ help? B. Is the Internet teaching people not to think? C. How to use the Internet more wisely? D. What does technology bring us? 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了过度依赖互联网搜索对我们思考能力的影响。文章引用了几位专家的观点，通过实验和个人经历来说明，过度依赖技术会削弱我们的深度思考能力和解决问题的能力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet.(“只有当我们的头脑保持冷静和专注时，才会进行深度思考。”我们上网时很难集中注意力。)”可知，我们在使用互联网时很难集中注意力进行深度思考，故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One group couldn’t use any sort of device to answer questions. The other group was allowed to use Google. The group that had access to their smartphones immediately looked up answers on the Internet. The group without smartphones were quicker at answering questions because they didn’t reach for their smartphones.(一组不能使用任何设备回答问题。另一组被允许使用谷歌。能够访问智能手机的小组立即在互联网上查找答案。没有智能手机的那组人回答问题的速度更快，因为他们没有拿起智能手机。)”可知，这个实验显示人们不必一直依赖互联网，故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every opportunity even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem. The Internet is like that because we know the answers to many questions we search for. We have to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving so we don’t forget how to do so. (当我的班级进行数学考试时，我们大多数人一有机会就使用计算器，尽管教室里的每个人都能解出每道题。互联网就是这样，因为我们知道我们搜索的许多问题的答案。我们至少要尝试用我们的大脑来解决问题，这样我们才不会忘记如何去做。)”可知，作者提到他的数学考试是为了强调我们自己学习的重要性，故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第四段中“If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own.(如果我们总是向技术寻求答案，我们永远不会自己学到任何东西。)”可知，文章主要讨论的是互联网使人们不去思考的问题，所以适合的标题为：互联网正在教人们不去思考吗?故选B。 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。 Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. ___36___ However, it is difficult to survive this adventure. First, a roundtrip to Mars causes many extra health risks. For one thing, floating in microgravity for long periods weakens bones and muscles. For another, it allows fluid to build up in the head. ___37___ Luckily, artificial gravity machines could help. Then there’s space radiation to worry about. The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems. ___38___ This increases the risk of developing the diseases. Taking certain vitamins could reduce the impacts. ___39___ Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory. Planning a trip to Mars isn’t just about keeping astronauts safe. ___40___ Humans are filled with microbes (微生物). And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars. As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets. A. Exploring space always comes with risks. B. It also involves protecting Mars from astronauts. C. They can’t restock like astronauts on the space station do. D. On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure. E. That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching humans to Mars. F. This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications. G. Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. D 39. G 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人类探索火星所面临的挑战和困难。文章从多个角度分析了人类登陆火星的可能性和难点，包括健康风险、空间辐射、生存条件的建立以及保护火星环境等方面。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars.

(在过去的60年里，许多航天器飞过火星，绕火星运行，甚至在火星上着陆。但人类探险者可以比机器工作得更快，更灵活。踏上火星将是太空探索的一个重要里程碑。)”可知，上文是解释为什么某些国家有兴趣将人类送往火星，本空应对此进行总结，E选项“That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching humans to Mars. (这就是为什么某些国家有兴趣将人类送往火星。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据上文“For another, it allows fluid to build up in the head. (另一方面，它会导致液体在头部积聚。)”可知，长时间在微重力环境下会导致头部积液，本空应继续解释这种现象导致的健康后果，F选项“This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications. (这可能会导致眼睛压力增加，并导致视力并发症。)”说明了头部积液可能导致的视力问题，能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Then there’s space radiation to worry about. The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems. (然后还有空间辐射要担心。地球磁场保护地球附近的宇航员免受高能宇宙射线的伤害。这些宇宙射线可能会增加患癌症和其他健康问题的风险。)”可知，宇宙射线可能增加癌症和其他健康问题的风险，本空继续谈论这种暴露对于宇航员的影响，D选项“On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure. (在长途旅行中，宇航员将面临长时间的暴露。)”正好说明了在更长的旅程中，宇航员会面临更长时间的暴露在宇宙射线中，这增加了患病的风险，能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory. (由于宇航员无法从地球上携带建筑材料，科学家们正在想方设法让宇航员在火星上使用材料。长期游客也需要大量的氧气来呼吸。美国宇航局‘毅力号’探测器上的一个设备目前正在为未来的火星氧气工厂奠定基础。)”可知，下文是具体解释在火星定居地建立和生存将面临的许多具体的挑战，G选项“Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges. (在火星定居地建立和生存将面临诸多挑战。)”概括了在火星建立和生存的挑战，能引出下文，符合题意。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据下文“Humans are filled with microbes (微生物) . And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars. As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets. (人类体内充满了微生物。传播这些微生物可能会对寻找火星上的生命造成不利影响。因此，负责任的太空探索的一个关键部分是确保地球上的细菌不会感染其他行星。)”可知，本空要引出后文宇航员可能给火星带来的不好的影响，B选项“It also involves protecting Mars from astronauts. (它还涉及保护火星免受宇航员的伤害。)”说明了除了保护宇航员外，还需要保护火星不受宇航员的影响，即避免地球微生物污染火星，能引出下文，符合题意。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Royce is 98.

The trip was special because I had brought along my ten-year-old dog Dakota, who had been part of my family since he was a puppy. My parents had not seen him since I moved to California two years ago, and they were excited about seeing him again. On the way back, my brother dropped Dakota and me at the airport. After checking in, I stayed with Dakota until an airport worker came to get him. Seeing him off, I headed to the gate and boarded the plane. About two hours into the flight, the captain came up to me. He told me that he had received a call from the airport worker who said that Dakota had been carelessly loaded in the wrong cargo hold (货舱). He went on to explain that the plane was divided into two cargo holds — forward and rear. The rear cargo hold was designed as animal cargo, as it was lighted, pressurized and heated, while the forward cargo was not designed or used for animal cargo. He said Dakota had been misplaced in the forward cargo hold, and since it was not properly heated, he could not be sure that Dakota was okay, especially in the freezing temperatures at thirty thousand feet. I couldn’t believe what he was telling me. I turned white as a ghost as my eyes watered with tears. The captain then told me that he was going to make an unscheduled landing in Denver. Again he said that he did not know if Dakota was still alive. Even though I was very upset, I was grateful that the captain was going to stop in Denver. He went on to explain that once we landed, I could go with him to check if Dakota was alright. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Unfortunately for Dakota and me, we had another hour to go before we could land in Denver. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we landed in Denver, I could hear the ground crew opening the cargo hold door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Unfortunately for Dakota and me, we had another hour to go before we could land in Denver. I couldn’t help but think about Dakota in that cargo hold and wonder what he was going through. Gazing out the window, memories of our happy times together flooded my mind, from his puppy days to all the challenges we had faced over the years. I reminded myself of his resilience and strength. If anyone could survive, it would be him. The more I pondered Dakota’s fate, the more hopeful I became that he was still alive and would pull through. When we landed in Denver, I could hear the ground crew opening the cargo hold door. Without wasting a moment, I unbuckled my seat belt, exited the plane, and hurried down the stairs. My heart raced with excitement. Then, the ground crew signaled me with a thumbs-up: I hadn’t lost my beloved companion! Approaching the pet carrier, I could see Dakota trembling inside. Immediately, I unlocked the door and cradled him in my arms. My loyal Dakota was alive and safe in my embrace! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。本文讲述了作者带着爱犬达科他回访父母时，返程途中达科他被误放入未加热的前货舱。在得知宠物狗达科塔可能遭遇危险后，作者极度担忧，但得知飞机将在丹佛紧急降落以检查达科塔状况后稍感宽慰。在漫长的等待中，主人公回忆与达科塔的欢乐时光，坚信其能生还。飞机降落后，达科塔果然安然无恙，主人公激动地将它拥入怀中。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“不幸的是，达科塔和我还有一个小时才能抵达丹佛。”可知，第一段可以描写在飞往丹佛的一个小时里，作者的焦虑和担忧。通过描述时间的缓慢流逝和作者的心理活动，突出了作者对狗狗的关心和内疚。 ②由第二段句首内容“当我们降落在丹佛时，我能听到地勤人员打开货舱门的声音。”可知，第二段可以描写飞机降落丹佛后，作者和机长一起去检查狗狗的情况。通过描写作者看到狗狗时的紧张和松了一口气的情感变化，突出了狗狗的安全对作者的重要性。 2.续写线索：作者焦虑担忧—回忆过往—坚信爱犬达科幸存—到达丹佛—发现爱犬达科幸存—激动不已 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①向外凝视：gaze out/peer out ②沉思：ponder/think about/reflect on ③接近：approach/draw near 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/joyful/delighted ②兴奋地：with excitement/with thrill/excitedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】 I couldn’t help but think about Dakota in that cargo hold and wonder what he was going through. (运用了what引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】The more I pondered Dakota’s fate, the more hopeful I became that he was still alive and would pull through.(运用了the+比较级...the+比较级句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 衡阳县四中2024届高考猜题卷 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第I卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When does the lecture conclude?

B On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating email from a high school friend. inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45 years old, all strangers, will gather on the Portuguese coast to embrace the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a travel enthusiast I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a- lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: we often limit ourselves to refining skills we already possess. There’s a certain pride in improving our expertise, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to neglecting other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a persistent desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 24. Why did the writer decide to go on a surfing trip to Portugal? A. To get better at skills they already had. B. To complete some work tasks in Portugal. C. To face a new challenge and pick up a new skill. D. To reconnect with an old friend from high school. 25. How does the writer feel about adults concentrating on just one area of expertise? A. It limits one’s skills. B. It’s crucial for doing well in one’s career. C. It encourages creativity and exploration. D. It messes with balancing work and personal life. 26. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s experience with surfing? A. Calming but unforeseeable. B. Demanding and annoying. C. Challenging but fulfilling. D. Dull and uneventful. 27. What insight did the writer get from her surfing adventure? A. The significance of specializing in one particular area. B. The advantages of traveling with people you don’t know. C. The necessity of getting formal training for all new abilities. D. The importance of stretching your boundaries and experimenting. C Starship Technologies originated in Estonia but is now based in San Francisco. The company employs dozens of six-wheeled delivery robots on college campuses. Starship is also adding four new schools to its operational field: University of Illinois Chicago, University of Kentucky, University of Nevada, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Currently, the company operates on 20 college campuses in 15 states with a global fleet that totals 1,000 robots. This expansion will add 85 more robots to that fleet. Starship states that it has done over 1.5 million deliveries worldwide since its founding in 2014. The company has raised $102 million so far, including $17 million in fresh funding announced earlier this year. Each robot in Starship is electric, has a box that can fit about 20 pounds of goods, and has a number of cameras to identify objects in the way and help guide it to its destination. The robots have a delivery area of three to four miles and can travel at a maximum speed of 4mph, which is obviously slower than a delivery by a human on a bike or in a car. And they can climb the edge of roads but not stairs, which may limit their appeal to customers who live in high-rise buildings. Delivery via robots is still relatively brave in the US. There are a handful of start-ups operating delivery robots of varying sizes, everything from fully-sized minivans like Udelv to robots that are almost similar to Starship’s like Amazon and Yandex. Recently, Postmates has also invented a delivery robot called Serve that can carry 50 pounds of goods. There are even some newly produced robots like Nuro, which has made what can be best described as a mini-robotic car, and others that fall somewhere in between. All claim to be automated, but some still require humans to follow their movements. Demand for delivery robots has risen since the pandemic, though it remains to be seen whether that will hold up as the economy reopens and fewer people rely on takeout from restaurants. 28. What do we know about Starship Technologies from Paragraph 1? A. It operates globally. B. It employs university students as designers. C. It is spreading its service on campuses. D. It is diversifying into the field of scientific education. 29. Why do people in high-rise buildings show little interest in delivery robots? A. They are likely to get lost. B. They work much slower than men. C. They have difficulty going up stairs. D. They are unable to identify customers. 30. What does the underlined word “brave” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. New. B. Efficient. C. Conventional. D. Courageous. 31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future demand for robot delivery? A. Indifferent. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Worried. D I grew up hearing, “Figure it out, but don’t look it up.” I use this advice when I’m tempted (诱惑) to turn to a search engine for answers. Should all of us limit our use of technology? Nicholas Carr, the author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, says that we should take some time away from screens. “Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet. People tend to look up a question and end up skimming (浏览) through unrelated information. Some people might not even notice when they start mindlessly clicking. In “Cognitive Offloading: How the Internet Is Changing the Human Brain”, Philip Perry describes a test that compared two groups. One group couldn’t use any sort of device to answer questions. The other group was allowed to use Google. The group that had access to their smartphones immediately looked up answers on the Internet. The group without smartphones were quicker at answering questions because they didn’t reach for their smartphones. While it’s true that the Internet gives us answers quickly and reliably, we may forget that we can get the answers so easily. David Price, a guest blogger on a website, says that teaching may be getting easier with Google because parents can now use the Internet to help with their kids’ homework. This led me to think about our schooldays. When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every opportunity even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem. The Internet is like that because we know the answers to many questions we search for. We have to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving so we don’t forget how to do so. If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own. I understand that the problems with technology are only when it is used in a certain way, but it’s not the solution to every problem. The positives of technology don’t remove the negatives. It’s time to take a step back from technology and take a break from our devices. 32. What may happen when we’re using the Internet? A. We will be in a good mood. B. We will become less efficient. C. We will find it hard to think deeply. D. We will respond quickly to information. 33. What does the test in Paragraph 3 show? A. People are easily tempted by the information on the Internet. B. People don’t have to rely on the Internet all the time. C. A limit to the spread of the Internet is necessary. D. Webs can offer answers more reliably. 34. Why does the author mention his school math test? A. To show different learning methods at different times. B. To stress the importance of learning by ourselves. C. To express his agreement to Price’s opinion. D. To praise the development of technology. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is teaching becoming easier with parents’ help? B. Is the Internet teaching people not to think? C. How to use the Internet more wisely? D. What does technology bring us? 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。 Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. ___36___ However, it is difficult to survive this adventure. First, a roundtrip to Mars causes many extra health risks.

The trip was special because I had brought along my ten-year-old dog Dakota, who had been part of my family since he was a puppy. My parents had not seen him since I moved to California two years ago, and they were excited about seeing him again. On the way back, my brother dropped Dakota and me at the airport. After checking in, I stayed with Dakota until an airport worker came to get him. Seeing him off, I headed to the gate and boarded the plane. About two hours into the flight, the captain came up to me. He told me that he had received a call from the airport worker who said that Dakota had been carelessly loaded in the wrong cargo hold (货舱). He went on to explain that the plane was divided into two cargo holds — forward and rear. The rear cargo hold was designed as animal cargo, as it was lighted, pressurized and heated, while the forward cargo was not designed or used for animal cargo. He said Dakota had been misplaced in the forward cargo hold, and since it was not properly heated, he could not be sure that Dakota was okay, especially in the freezing temperatures at thirty thousand feet. I couldn’t believe what he was telling me. I turned white as a ghost as my eyes watered with tears. The captain then told me that he was going to make an unscheduled landing in Denver. Again he said that he did not know if Dakota was still alive. Even though I was very upset, I was grateful that the captain was going to stop in Denver. He went on to explain that once we landed, I could go with him to check if Dakota was alright. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Unfortunately for Dakota and me, we had another hour to go before we could land in Denver. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we landed in Denver, I could hear the ground crew opening the cargo hold door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
