1.阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。
Can you imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport? Can you imagine jumping over crowded city streets at rush hour to get where you want to go far 1 than you could in a car? Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.
In June, the FAA—the government group in charge of America’s skies— 2 to allow a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxi.
Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. But this is the 3 time they’re testing a taxi that’s been built in a factory. Before that, all their 4 were made by hand.
By 2025, Joby hopes to start 5 passengers for money. Joby also expects their air taxis to 6 a ride-sharing service in the air. Just like you might use an app to order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to 7 an air taxi.
Although the idea of flying taxis is 8 , some people have concerns about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters (直升机), 9 they’ll still be adding noise and traffic to our skies. Some people worry that only rich people will be able to afford to use them.
Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of 10 . The FAA says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”

2. Deaf children enjoy reading happily
Now there are about 32 million deaf children around the world. Deaf children often have problems in 1 to read. And smartphone maker Huawei, wants to help them out 2 a new app called StorySign. It is powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
Parents and teachers can use the app to help deaf children learn 3 to read. It is easy to 4 the app. Just open the app and 5 on the chosen book from the StorySign Library. Hold the phone up to the words on the page, and the AI Star will then sign the words as the printed words are highlighted (照亮).
Users can also 6 a book from the app’s book library. The first book on the StorySign platform is the popular children’s book Spot the Dog (《斑点狗小玻》).
The app start with a 7 called The Silent Child. The film sees a young girl Star reading 8 with her father on Christmas Eve. Later that night when she goes downstairs to look at her presents, she is filled with 9 to see Father Christmas who hands her a book as a gift. When Father Christmas 10 that the little girl is deaf, Santa begins to sign the book to her.
The developers specifically design the product to make the app’s main character Star 11 with both boys and girls by making her an elder sister or friend. They will help the deaf children read and understand the book. Star’s facial expressions and hands are able to fully 12 the “perfect”sign language. Star also wears a hearing aid (援助). This way, not only are the deaf children learning to read, but they are also happy.
“We created StorySign to help make it 13 for families with deaf children to enjoy an enriched story time,” said Andrew Garrihy, Huawei’s CMO for Western Europe. 14 many deaf children make an effort to learn to read, there are no resources that connect the differences between sign language and written text.

Recently, the first application (应用) of concrete 3D printing technology in building construction (建筑) in Hubei province, the new countryside housing project in Daye, was officially delivered.
Built by the First Company of China Construction Third Engineering Bureau (中建三局一公司) , the Daye countryside housing project is a provincial﹣level pilot project in Huangshi city, covering an area of 20 hectares. The project’s community design combines countryside houses, countryside parks, high﹣standard farmland and landscaping to create a picturesque neighborhood.
The project manager, Yuan Hu, explained that 90 percent of each structure is prefabricated, allowing the main structure to be completed in 4 to 5 days. The house walls, inside and outside decorations are made from high﹣performance green and environmentally friendly materials, which provide enough thermal and sound insulation, waterproofing, and a comfortable living environment year﹣round.
Thanks to the three﹣step design, loading and 3D printing process, each house can be built in just a week. The advanced design and construction technology stand for an upgrade to countryside housing development and the construction industry in general.
Energy﹣saving is included throughout the project. Rooftop panels connect to a heat collection water tank which is placed in the equipment interlayer below the split roof, reducing the need for additional pressure pump sets.
The project team is currently developing a countryside park and areas for fishing, woodcutting, farming, reading, landscaping and fruit tree planting. Other tasks include land leveling, farmland slope protection, soil fertility protection and building irrigation (灌溉) and drainage ditches (排水沟) and roads.

Is there anything sponges can’t do? For many years, humans have used dried natural sponges to paint, clean up and take in water. They are good at catching tiny particles (颗粒) in their many pores. Now, as scientists around the world are beginning to show, sponges’ pore-filled forms mean that they could offer a solution to a big challenge of our time: microplastic (微塑料) pollution.
Recently, Chinese researchers published a study describing their development of a new man-made sponge. Tests show that when a plastic-filled liquid (液体) is pushed through the sponge, it removes the microplastics from the liquid. Though the effectiveness of sponges differed in experiments depending on the concentration (浓度) of the plastics and the nature of the liquid, researchers could remove up to 90% of the microplastics under the most favorable conditions.
These new sponges are made mostly from starch (淀粉) and gelatin (明胶), making them light and easy to transport. According to a materials chemist at Ocean University of China who got involved in the study, researchers can make sponges more or less porous—by changing the temperature when mixing the ingredients. This decides what size particles can be collected—highly porous sponges have lots of very small pores, which is good for catching very tiny particles.
According to the chemist, the sponges, if produced at an industrial level, could be used in wastewater treatment plants or in food production equipment to take away harmful chemicals. It would also be possible to use sponges like this in washing machines to collect microplastics produced when clothes are washed, suggests a chemist from Zurich.
Yet challenges remain. One of them is that starch and gelatin are important to the food industry, meaning that there could be competition for the key ingredients in the future. However, similar sponges can be made with different materials, such as the sugar taken from the shells of certain ocean animals.
Another challenge is that during the process of producing these new sponges, formaldehyde—a highly harmful chemical—is used. Scientists around the world are working to upgrade the production so that they can make a completely environmentally friendly sponge.
As microplastic pollution is getting more serious, these new sponges give us reason to be hopeful. It’s like giving the earth a helping hand to stay clean and healthy.
1.According to the passage, the new sponges could be used to ________.
A.take microplastics out of a liquid B.test the nature of the plastics in a liquid
C.change the temperature of a plastic-filled liquid D.replace plastics with harmless materials in a liquid
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.It’s difficult to find the ingredients for the new sponges.
B.The new sponges would increase food production in factories.
C.The production of the new sponges is environmentally friendly.
D.How porous sponges are decides what size particles can be collected.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.New Sponges: A Modern Tool to Recycle Plastics
B.New Sponges: A New Invention for Plastic Production
C.New Sponges: A Hopeful Solution for Microplastic Pollution

Is there anything sponges can’t do? For many years, humans have used dried natural sponges to paint, clean up and take in water. They are good at catching tiny particles (颗粒) in their many pores. Now, as scientists around the world are beginning to show, sponges’ pore-filled forms mean that they could offer a solution to a big challenge of our time: microplastic (微塑料) pollution.
Recently, Chinese researchers published a study describing their development of a new man-made sponge. Tests show that when a plastic-filled liquid (液体) is pushed through the sponge, it removes the microplastics from the liquid. Though the effectiveness of sponges differed in experiments depending on the concentration (浓度) of the plastics and the nature of the liquid, researchers could remove up to 90% of the microplastics under the most favorable conditions.
These new sponges are made mostly from starch (淀粉) and gelatin (明胶), making them light and easy to transport. According to a materials chemist at Ocean University of China who got involved in the study, researchers can make sponges more or less porous—by changing the temperature when mixing the ingredients. This decides what size particles can be collected—highly porous sponges have lots of very small pores, which is good for catching very tiny particles.
According to the chemist, the sponges, if produced at an industrial level, could be used in wastewater treatment plants or in food production equipment to take away harmful chemicals. It would also be possible to use sponges like this in washing machines to collect microplastics produced when clothes are washed, suggests a chemist from Zurich.
Yet challenges remain. One of them is that starch and gelatin are important to the food industry, meaning that there could be competition for the key ingredients in the future. However, similar sponges can be made with different materials, such as the sugar taken from the shells of certain ocean animals.
Another challenge is that during the process of producing these new sponges, formaldehyde—a highly harmful chemical—is used. Scientists around the world are working to upgrade the production so that they can make a completely environmentally friendly sponge.
As microplastic pollution is getting more serious, these new sponges give us reason to be hopeful. It’s like giving the earth a helping hand to stay clean and healthy.
1.According to the passage, the new sponges could be used to ________.
A.take microplastics out of a liquid B.test the nature of the plastics in a liquid
C.change the temperature of a plastic-filled liquid D.replace plastics with harmless materials in a liquid
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.It’s difficult to find the ingredients for the new sponges.
B.The new sponges would increase food production in factories.
C.The production of the new sponges is environmentally friendly.
D.How porous sponges are decides what size particles can be collected.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.New Sponges: A Modern Tool to Recycle Plastics
B.New Sponges: A New Invention for Plastic Production
C.New Sponges: A Hopeful Solution for Microplastic Pollution

(2024·陕西延安·二模)When visitors in the Palace Museum need to sit down for a cup of tea or find a bathroom without a long line, they will be able to turn to their smartphones for the information they need.
Thanks to an agreement signed by the museum and Huawei, a “smart network” will be built by using 5G technology. Under the agreement, 5G Wi-Fi signals will cover the Palace Museum.
“It’s important to use the latest technology to better serve the public,” said Shan Jixiang, former director of the Palace Museum. “There is still much room for improvement in dealing with cultural relics (文物). I remember that when Along the River During the Qingming Festival was exhibited (展览) in 2015, some visitors waited in the lines for nearly a whole day to have a look. I don’t want that scenario to happen again,” Shan said, “Our work can be done in a more scientific way.”
In the new system, more than 1.86 million of cameras are set up all over the Palace Museum to safeguard the museum’s precious relics. “How can we make sure no single visitor who might have bad ideas threatens these treasures?” Shan said, “After using 5G technology, we can immediately notice movement about the relics to prevent such threats.”

1.句意:八年前,他和家人搬到了博茨瓦纳。所给词move为实义动词“移动,搬家”,在句中作谓语,结合时间状语seven years ago,此处应用一般过去时。故填moved。
2.句意:由于博茨瓦纳的沙漠气候,那里的农民很难种植水果和蔬菜。根据“difficult”可知,修饰形容词应该用副词,true的副词为truly。故填truly。
3.句意:博茨瓦纳不得不从南非等其他国家购买大量水果和蔬菜。所给词country为可数名词“国家”,other后面接可数名词复数。故填countries。
4.句意:博茨瓦纳一直在与中国合作解决这个问题。根据题干要求,此处需填入solve的相关形式。分析句子成分可知,此处应该用不定式表目的。solve的动词不定式为to solve。故填to solve。
5.句意:2022年7月,博茨瓦纳启动了一项种植中国节水水稻的计划。空后的program 表示泛指,program 是以辅音音素开头的单词,用a修饰。故填a。
6.句意:我梦想创建一个应用程序来帮助当地农民。根据“creating an app to help local farmers,”可知,我梦想着创造一个手机软件来帮助当地的农民,dream of doing sth. 意为“梦想着做……”。故填of。
7.句意:吴很有头脑,他通过开发一款名为Farm Assistant的新应用程序实现了自己的梦想。空前面的by是介词,这里用develop动词动名词developing。故填developing。
8.句意:使用该应用程序的农民可以点击蔬菜的图片,查看其种子价格、浇水需求、售价等。所给词it 为人称代词“它”,此处应用形容词性物主代词来修饰名词词组seed (种子) price, its为形容词性物主代词“它的”。故填its。
9.句意:农民播种后,该应用程序可以提醒他们在不同时间需要做什么。结合语意推测,在农民种完种子之后,这一应用程序可以使他们记得在不同时期他们应该做“什么”,特殊疑问词what可以用来表示“什么”,引导宾语从句,符合语意。故填what。
10.句意:吴希望他的应用程序能让农民的工作比以前容易得多。所给词easy为形容词“容易的,简单的”,结合前面的a lot ,a lot 用来修饰比较级,easy的比较级为easier,表示两者之间的比较。故填easier。

Now China has once again shown its ability to change the world with its “four great new inventions”. They are high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping. I think the most important innovation is high-speed railways. Here are my reasons:
Firstly, high-speed railways are safe. They use electronic information to monitor the on-going driving so that they can avoid some terrible things even in case of bad weather. Secondly, the services are wonderful. They use advanced technology to make passengers feel comfortable. Thirdly, they are nearly as fast as planes. The most important thing is that you don’t have to stay at the station for a long time because high-speed railways are always on time. With high-speed railway, you can go anywhere in China now.
