The paths of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison first crossed in the late 1800s when Tesla arrived in the United States with his boundless enthusiasm and inventive spirit.Tesla,a young Serbian engineer,sought opportunities to work on his ambitious ideas.Edison,already an established inventor and entrepreneur,recognized Tesla's talent and employed him at his company,the Edison Machine Works. It was during Tesla's time working for Edison that the seeds of rivalry were sown.Edison advocated direct current (DC)as the dominant method for electrical distribution,while Tesla saw the potential of alternating current(AC)systems,which offered greater efficiency over longer distances. The turning point in their rivalry occurred with the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.Tesla,backed by George Westinghouse,successfully showcased the superiority of Ac by lighting the fairgrounds with his AC-powered system.This success crushed Edison's claims of DC's superiority,leading to the widespread adoption of AC as the standard for electrical power transmission ) However,due to Edison's influence,AC power was initially dismissed as dangerous and unreliable.In order to demonstrate its safety,Tesla held a public demonstration where he famously lit up a string of lights using his AC motor.powered by Niagara Falls/proving once and for all that AC power was safe for use in homes and businesses around the world While both sides fought fiercely for control of electricity distribution networks across America,it was ultimately Tesla's AC system that won out due to its greater efficiency over long distances compared with DC systems which quickly lost voltage()as distance increased from their source point.Eventually even Edison himself came around and accepted deteat when he finally admitted that"Tesla has solved an extremely difficult problem". Despite their differences,the two men had an unwilling respect for each other.Edison was known to refer to Tesla as "one of the greatest electrical geniuses the world has ever seen"while Tesla praised Edison's contributions to the field of electricity.Though their rivalry defined the development of electricity in the late 19th century,its impact still resonates(产生共鸣)today.. 4.In which aspect did Tesla's and Edison's views on electrical systems differ? A.The source of electrical power. B.The invention of electrical devices. C.The efficiency of power generation. D.The method of electrical transmission. 5.How did Tesla prove the reliability of AC power? A.By conducting a public experiment at Niagara Falls. B.By displaying AC-powered lighting in a community C.By getting support from George Westinghouse. D.By highlighting the limitations of DC power. 6.Why did Tesla's AC system finally achieve success? A.It provided higher voltage outputs. B.It was easier to operate and maintain. C.It had guperior long-range performance. D.It received more financial backing. What message does the author want to convey in the text? A.Every cloud has a silver lining. B.Real knowledge comes from practice. C.A rising tide lifts all boats. D.Rivalry fuels progress. 第2页共8页 Page 2 of 12 C Sicilian Rouge High GABA is a special type of tomato designed to contain high levels of gamma--aminobutyric acid(GABA)(氨基丁酸)，an amino acid believed to aid relaxation and help lower blood pressure. Tokyo-based startup Sanatech Seec Company teamed up with scientists at the University of Tsukuba to develop a new type of tomatoes using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology.Named Sicilian Rouge High GABA, this new type of tomato contains five to six times the normal level of a type of amino acid called gamma-aminobutyric acid,or GABA.According to Japanese media,the company removed an inhibitory domain (within the tomato's genome to enable it to produce these high levels of GABA. According to Shimpei Takeshita,President of Sanatech Seed and Chief Innovation Officer of Pioneer EcoScience,the exclusive distributor of the tomato the company,was given permission to commercialize the genetically changed Sicilian Rouge High GABA tomatoes last December,and contract farmers who have been growing them ever since.Now,the tomatoes are ready to hit store shelves. "At first,we got mixed reactions to genome-edited foods,and we thought it would be difficult to bring them to market as they're not fully understood by consumers,"Tatsuo Takeshita,chair of Sanatech Seed told NHK. "But the tomatoes earned a good name from those who took part in the trials." A Japanese health ministry committee gave Sanatech Seed permission to commercialize the new tomatoes. They provided notification and the startup plans to ship each package of tomatoes with a sticker that says "improved using genome-editing technology". Unlike genetically modified foods,genome-edited plants are considered just as safe as those improved using traditional methods because no outside gene is introduced during the process. Sanatech Seed has already started accepting online orders for Sicilian Rouge High GABA tomatoes.A 3-kilogram box of tomatoes will reportedly cost 7,500 yen.That's a lot of money for tomatoes. 8.What do we know about Sicilian Rouge High GABA? A.It is beneficial to our health. B.It can promote tomatoes'output. C.It contains high level of nutrition. D.It can make people energetic. 9.Who permitted the new tomatoes into the market? A.President of the Sanatech Seed Company. B.The University of Tsukuba,Tokyo. C.A Japanese health ministry committee. D.Chair of Tatsuo Takeshita Company. 10.How is the genome-edited plant regarded? A.Harmful. B.Easy. C.Traditional. D.Secure 11.What is the writer's attitude to Sicilian Rouge High GABA? A.Curious. B.Subjective. C.Dissatisfied. D.Objective. 第3页共8页 Page 3 of 12 D Duringa judging periodforesosoryones Istard thinkinga oabout dialogue tagsecaus in many submissions characters didn'tsaya thing.They shouted,they inquired,they assumed.Some characters screamed while others murmured.But no one"said"anything.And I started wondering why. The more I thought about it,the more I understood the temptation.We're always encouraged to use strong, actionable verbs in our prose.Why walk when you can skip or wander?Why cry when you can sob or weep?Why wouldn't we reach for exciting verbs instead of dull"said?Why couldn't each verb be a tiny sparkling gem in its own right?The problem,I think,is that every jewel needs a setting to become something more than the sum of its parts.Without something to provide structure,a collection of the world's most glorious diamonds would still only amount to a heap ofrocks. Dialogue is your diamond,friends.When we read your work,your dialogue should be so lifelike that our brains"hear"each line instead of merely reading it.We don't need to be told a character is shouting-we can sense it in the way they spit out words,clench fists,or storm from the room.What's more,readers may not initially imagine a particular line being"sobbed."When we reach the end of a sentence and find out our leading lady has actually sobbed instead of whispered,it pulls us right out of the story.We pause.We reread the line.We adjust our understanding and begin again.But that wonderful momentum when we're fully immersed in the scene, holding our breath to find out what our heroine says next.is lost. Creating a successful work of fiction is about giving the reader all the materials they need to build your fictional world in their mind.Readers need believable dialogue.And if you've created dynamic characters who speak words we can really hear,you will never need to tell us how something was said. 12.What do we know from the first two paragraphs? A.The word“said”is overused in our stories, B.The use of exciting verbs makes characters alive. C.Strong verbs are considered to be an eye-catcher. D.Various verbs are preferred by judges at contests. 13.According to the author, contributes most to a good story. A.a talkative character B.a vivid conversation C.a collection of dialogue tags D.a wild imagination 14.Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A.Creative dialogue tags help keep readers immersed in reading. B.What was said should be prioritisea over how it was said. C.Readers may better understand a scene atter rereading the line. D.The more materials a work of fiction contains,the more successful it is. 15.What argumentative methods are usea in this article? ①Using examples 2 Justifying an assumption 3Comparing and contrasting 4Appealing to readers'emotions A.①② B.②④ C.③④ D.①③ 第4页节乱4of12 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。 Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while?I don't mean situations when you should be alone,but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant.You get tired bf jumping from conversation to conversaticn,and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch.16Now before you rush to defense,please understand that being an introvert(内向的人)is completely normal.. A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social.17 They have friends,,probably not as many as extroverts(外向的人)，but enough to suit their needs for human interaction.. Scientifically,all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert,and at least 25 percent ofus are introverts. 18'Therefore,the ability to network is extremely valuable.Of course,sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts,but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to"fit in".While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes,introverts get increasingly exhausted. For the introverted,to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm,with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep,panic attacks and depression. They form deep thoughts,conduct themselves carefully,and pay significant attention to detail.So, for the best results in a project involving group work,both introverts and extroverts are needed. A.Society appears to favor extroverts. B.Most introverts,however,are just regular people. C..These are feelings usually typical of an introvert. D.Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone. E.You might have ignored that"strange"thought you had before. F.Introverts,just like extroverts,have their own set of advantages. G.Even if standing alone for a while,they get asked "Why are you all by yourself?" 第二部分语言运用（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。 It was a cold,rainy day,and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn's house.But she21that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.

She wanted him to spend more time on his books,and less time lost in the world of robotics.He,however,always worked quietly on parts,trying to create inventions that could solve everyday problems. One day,Gabriel came back from school,bursting through the front door,holding a shining award in his hand.The gas detection robot he had built for months had just won first place in the regional competition.His heart raced as he imagined his mother would be proud this time. "Mom!Look!I won!"he cried.His mother,standing at the kitchen counter,looked briefly.She sighed, "That's nice,Gabriel,but I still don't see what good it will do you.It's not going to help you with your grades or get you into college.You need to focus on something more practical."Her voice showed no interest.Gabriel remained quiet,determined to prove that what he was doing had value. One evening,as the delicious smell of dinner floated through the house,an unexpected danger was quietly closing.Gabriel's mother had been busy in the kitchen but had forgotten to turn off the gas.Unaware of the coming threat,she had wandered into the living room,settling down comfortably in front of the TV.The gas continued to escape,silently filling the air.The house was on the edge of a disaster. 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。 Suddenly,a loud alarm rang through the house.

4,细节理解题。根据第三段“It was during Tesla's time working for Edison that the seeds of rivalry were sown.Edison advocated direct current(DC)as the dominant method for electrical distribution,while Tesla saw the potential of alternating current(AC) systems,,which offered greater efficiency over longer distances.(正是在特斯拉为爱迪生工作的那段时间里，竞争的种子播下了。 爱迪生主张将直流电(DC)作为主要的配电方式，而特斯拉则看到了交流电(AC)系统的潜力，交流电可以在更远的距离 上提供更高的效率)”可知，特斯拉和爱迪生在电传动的方法有所不同。故选D项。 5.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“However,due to Edison's influence,AC power was initially dismissed as dangerous and unreliable In order to demonstrate its safety,Tesla held a public demonstration where he famously lit up a string of lights using his AC motor powered by Niagara Falls,proving once and for all that AC power was safe for use in homes and businesses around the world.(, 由于爱迪生的影响，交流电最初被认为是危险和不可靠的。为了证明它的安全性，特斯拉举行了一次公开演示，他用尼亚加 拉大瀑布供电的交流电机点亮了一串灯，从而彻底证明了交流电在世界各地的家庭和企业中使用是安全的)”可知，特斯拉通 过在尼亚加拉大瀑布进行公开实验来证明交流电的可靠性。故选A项。 6.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段While both sides fought fiercely for control of electricity distribution networks across America,i was ultimately Tesla's AC system that won out due to its greater efficiency over long distances compared with DC systems which quickly lost voltage()as distance increased from their source point.Eventually even Edison himself came around and accepted defeat when he finally admitted that“Tesla has solved an extremely difficult problem”.(虽然双方都在为控制美国各地的配电网络 而激烈竞争，但最终特斯拉的交流系统胜出，因为与直流系统相比，它在长距离上的效率更高，而直流系统随着距离源点的 增加而迅速失去电压。最后，连爱迪生自己也接受了失败，他终于承认“特斯拉解决了一个极其困难的问题”可知，因为交 流系统具有优越的远程性能，所以最终取得了成功。故选C项。 7.推理判断题。根据第一段“In the scientific history,few rivalries(竞争)have captured the imagination like the one between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.These two inventors,each with their unique approaches and visions,engaged in a fierce competition that forever transformed the world of electricity and innovation..(在科学史上，很少有竞争能像尼古拉特斯拉和托马斯：爱迪生之间的 竞争那样引人入胜。这两位发明家，各有其独特的方法和愿景，从事微烈的竟争，永远改变了世界的电力和创新)”以及最后 -Despite their differences,the two men had an unwilling respect for each other.Edison was known to refer to Tesla as"one of the greatest electrical geniuses the world has ever seen"while Tesla praised Edison's contributions to the field of electricity.Though their rivalry defined the development of electricity in the late 19 th century,its impact still resonates(产生共鸣)today.(尽管他们有 分歧，这两个人还是不情愿地互相尊重。爱迪生称特斯拉是“世界上最伟大的电气天才之一”，而特斯拉则称赞爱迪生对电学 领域的贡献。尽管他们的竞争决定了19世纪后期电力的发展，但其影响至今仍在产生共鸣)可知，文章主要讲述了尼古拉特 斯拉和托马斯·爱迪生之间的竞争改变世界的电力和创新，所以作者想在文章中传达竞争推动进步的观点。故选D项。 8.A9.C10.D11.D
