Excited, yet a little nervous, she carefully carried a pork steak to Table 6. Then she saw Kassy, a popular girl from school sitting there with her friends. She started to feel anxious. She immediately ducked behind the front desk to avoid being seen. Even though she was an excellent student, Sarah always felt uncomfortable among her wealthy (富有的) classmates. She remembered how often Kassy used to make fun of her. And she was worried that others might do the same to her if they saw her working at a restaurant. When Sarah’s dad found her hiding, she didn’t know what to say. He took over the food and suggested that she take a rest. Turning back to the kitchen, Sarah felt bad for letting her dad down. To her surprise, Hannah, one of Kassy’s friends, came over and said that she knew how mean Kassy could be. She also praised (称赞) Sarah for her hard work. Her comfort gave Sarah the strength she needed. With confidence, Sarah returned to the dining area and brought the bill to Kassy’s table. When Kassy was about to make fun of her, Hannah did a silly “crab dance” with Sarah and then they laughed together. When crossing the dining room, Sarah realized she didn’t feel embarrassed (难堪的) at all. Whether Kassy liked her family’s restaurant or not, it didn’t matter any more. As Sarah returned to the front desk she felt proud, knowing that hard work and kindness were what really mattered. She understood the importance of being true to herself, no matter what others thought. From then on, she started to enjoy her new role with confidence and pride. 31. Sarah felt anxious when she saw Kassy because ________. A. she was not as popular as Kassy B. she was often made fun of by Kassy C. she was shy to meet her new classmate D. she was serving customers for the first time 32. What does the underlined word “ducked” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Hid. B. Cried. C. Worked. D. Rested. 33. What do we know about Sarah from the story? A. It was her first day at work. B. She did well at school. C. Her family was quite rich. D. She was good at dancing. 34. How did Sarah’s feelings change during that day? A. Excited→Anxious→Confident →Proud B. Nervous→Surprised→Anxious →Proud C. Excited→Proud→Confident →Surprised D. Nervous →Confident→Proud →Surprised 35. What did Sarah learn from her experience? A. Think what others think. B. Being true to oneself matters. C. Always see the good in others. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C Even though the world has made great efforts to protect African elephants, many of them are still being killed for their ivory. At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 ivory million elephants walked around Africa. But today, their numbers have fallen to around 450, 000. This is mainly caused by illegal (非法的) hunting for ivory. Need for ivory in markets, especially in Asia and Africa, continues to push the illegal trade (贸易). This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20, 000 African elephants each year. Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been regarded as precious. Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery, musical instruments and art. And the ivory material itself can stand the test of time. That’s why many people are willing to pay high prices for ivory products. However, no matter how much real ivory is sold for, it’s certainly not worth the harm to elephants. So some scientists are working hard on creating the same beauty of ivory with no killing. Thaddäa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the man-made ivory called “Digory”. It is made from synthetic resin (合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles (磷酸钙颗粒). First, they use a 3D printer to make the shape. Then they color-match and stain (着色) it. Finally, they polish (抛光) it to make it look like real natural ivory. Although the chemical structure of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye. Fritz Vollrath, a biologist from the UK, felt excited about the invention for the fact that Digory could save many elephants from risks. He said, “We hope that, by doing more research, Digory will soon be accepted and used worldwide. And I believe that technology like this will play an important role in wildlife protection.” 36. Why does the writer list some numbers in Paragraph 1? A. To present the number of elephants in Africa. B. To introduce the ivory markets in Asia and Africa. C. To explain the reasons for the illegal trade of ivory. D. To show the dangerous situation of African elephants. 37. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Modern. B. Valuable. C. Beautiful. D. Traditional. 38. What do we know about Digory from Paragraph 4? a. Why Digory is invented. b. How Digory is created. c. What Digory is made from. d. Whether Digory looks real. A. abc B. acd C. bcd D. abd 39 Which of the following does Fritz Vollrath agree? A. Digory will save all the elephants from risks. B. It’s hard for the world to accept man-made ivory. C. It will take long to make Digory used worldwide. D. Technology will support the protection of wildlife. 40. Which is the right structure of the text? (①= Para. 1 ②= Para. 2…) A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①②③④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④⑤ D A quasar (类星体) is an extremely bright object with a super-massive (超大质量的) black hole. About a million quasars have been known to humans. Quasar J0529-4351 is one of them, with 12 billion light years from the earth. We have been able to see Quasar J0529-4351 since 1980. But it was so bright that people mistook it for a foreground star (前景恒星). In 2023, scientists finally identified (确认) it as a quasar as well as the brightest object in the universe (宇宙), 500 trillion (万亿) times brighter than the sun. In 2024, a study on the quasar came out in Nature Astronomy (《自然·天文学》). It was done by Australian scientist Christian Wolf and his team. According to the recent study, Quasar J0529-4351 has a huge “stomach”. Like other quasars, it keeps taking in gas and dust in the space. In fact, it has the largest accretion disk (吸积盘) in the universe. It “eats” about as much as the sun’s mass (质量) every day, which makes it grow very fast. And we shouldn’t be surprised at how bright it is, because the brightness has much to do with how much it “eats”. However, Quasar J0529-4351 is not the largest object. TON 618, found in 1957, is one of the largest black holes. It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun inside, while Quasar J0529-4351 is about 19 billion times larger than the sun. Scientist have already learned that a black hole is formed when a star collapses (坍塌) on itself. And it grows by taking in other objects, including other black holes. But they still don’t know how super-massive black holes come into being. Scientists hope that studying quasars like this one will help them understand more about super-massive black holes. They also believe that there are probably more unusual quasars out there, waiting to be discovered. 41. When did scientists identify Quasar J0529-4351? A. In 1957. B. In 1980. C. In 2023. D. In 2024. 42. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Quasar J0529-4351. B. The foreground star. C. The study. D. Nature Astronomy. 43. Which of the following is TRUE about Quasar J0529-4351? A. It is 12 billion light years from the sun. B. It is 500 trillion times brighter than the sun. C. It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun. D. It is about 19 billion times larger than TON 618. 44. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? A. When a star collapses. B. How a black hole grows. C. Why scientists study quasars. D. What will be discovered next. 45. Which could be the best title for the text? A. A Newly Seen Quasar B. Secrets of the Universe C. Super-massive Black Holes D. Brightest Quasar Ever Seen 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E Improving your memory doesn’t have to be a difficult thing. ____46____ You don’t have to change your brain’s memory system. Here are some useful tips. They don’t take long to practice, yet will help you remember better. ____47____ The most important reason why people can’t remember other people’s names is that they don’t pay enough attention to the names.

A. The best way to get this is by moving your body. B. Pay more attention to what you want to remember. C. The more often you switch, the more you are going to lose. D.
