And the one they had planted outside became a huge tree”可知，男孩看到屋内植物和屋外植物生长情况差异很大，感到惊讶，所以会疑惑这怎么可能发生。故选B。 【8题详解】 句意：室外的植物必须面对许多困难，比如强风和低温或高温，所以它们必须尽最大努力把根尽可能地扎深。 cut切割；hide隐藏；cover覆盖；spread伸展，扩展。根据“Plants outside had to face many difficulties, such as strong wind and low or high temperatures, so they had to try their best to...their roots (根) as deep as possible”可知，屋外的植物面对困难要把根扎得尽可能深，也就是让根伸展、扩展到更深处，故应用spread。故选D。 【9题详解】 句意：它们面临的每一个困难都是它们生长并变得更强壮的机会。 problem问题；chance机会；choice选择；method方法。根据“so they had to try their best to...their roots (根) as deep as possible. Each difficulty they face is a (n)...for them to grow and become even stronger”可知，困难能促使植物成长变强，即困难成为了它们成长变强的机会。故选B。 【10题详解】 句意：他理解了爷爷的话。 remembered记得；questioned质疑；promised承诺；understood理解。根据“He knew that facing difficulties and dealing with them can make him grow stronger.”可知，男孩明白了爷爷话里的道理。故选D。 Ⅱ. 阅读理解（40分） 第一节阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。（共15小题，每小题1.5分） A Anne M.

It’s a mobile library with a lot of books in the truck. The project got popular among students and parents, but it stopped when COVID-19 came. That changed in the summer of 2023, when two school leaders restarted the activity to get books back in the hands of students. Erin Kavanagh and Jodi West carried out three activities in July and August. The project was, once again, a success, with about 150 books handed out. “The mobile library provides thousands of donated (捐赠的) things for all ages. There’s something for everyone, from picture books to books parents may read. It doesn’t need a card,” Erin said. “Students came and took one or two books, and they were really excited.” “The influence (影响) of Books on the Run was clear when these kids returned to school with books in hand,” Erin said. They didn’t get books shoved (乱塞) under the bed or forgot them. They did read them and took care of them. Of course, that wasn’t the only thing Erin and Jodi wanted to do through the project. They hoped the project would help students have a habit of reading and offer a way to build a relationship between the community and all kids and their parents. Erin and Jodi said, “We plan to bring Books on the Run to more places and provide more chances for kids in the summer of 2024.” 16. What is Books on the Run? A. A community reading club for parents.

To encourage a habit of reading among students. D. To digitize (数字化) all the books in the mobile library. 19. What can we learn from the passage? A. Parents can’t get any books in the project. B. Parents are asked to donate books to the project. C. Erin first came up with the idea of Books on the Run. D. Erin and Jodi want to share the project with more places. 20.

Air taxis are taking a big step forward. In June, a company called Joby Aviation was allowed to test their new air taxi. Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. Compared with helicopters (直升机), Joby says, their taxis are both quieter and cheaper. The air taxi will be flown by a pilot, and can carry four other passengers. It can fly as fast as 320 kilometers per hour and can go around 160 kilometers before it needs to be recharged (充电). By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. The company expects to charge (收费) about $3 a mile at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide 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 order an air taxi. But there’s still a lot to do before air taxis become common. For one thing, governments need to make rules about where, when, and how these taxis can fly. And as exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have concerns about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters, but they’ll still be adding noise and traffic to the skies. Some people think that only rich people will be able to afford (支付得起) to use them in the future. 21. Which of the following is TRUE about Joby’s air taxi? A. It doesn’t need a pilot. B. Five customers can take it together. C. It is cheap and doesn’t have much noise. D. It flies up to 320 miles per hour without being recharged. 22. What is Joby’s future plan? A. To build the world’s first flying taxi. B. To increase the price of their air taxis. C. To test their flying taxis all over the world. D. To offer a ride-sharing service in the sky. 23. What does the underlined word “concerns” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Worries. B. Chances. C. Experiences. D. Suggestions. 24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. When Joby started making flying taxis. B. How far Joby’s air taxis are able to fly. C. What Joby will charge for their flying taxis. D. How long it takes to recharge Joby’s air taxis. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How do flying taxis work? B. Flying taxis are starting to take off. C. How will flying taxis change our life? D. Flying taxis will be common in the future. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 24. D 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了空中出租车的研发和未来发展计划。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Compared with helicopters (直升机), Joby says, their taxis are both quieter and cheaper.”与直升机相比，Joby的空中出租车更安静且更便宜。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Joby also expects their air taxis to provide a ride-sharing service in the air”可知，Joby还希望他们的空中出租车能够提供空中拼车服务，即提供空中拼车乘车服务是其未来计划之一。故选D。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“And as exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have concerns about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters, but they’ll still be adding noise and traffic to the skies. Some people think that only rich people will be able to afford (支付得起) to use them in the future.”可知，出租车可能比直升机安静，但它们仍然会给天空增加噪音和交通流量。有些人认为，将来只有富人才能买得起它们。这些都是人们的担忧。故划线单词表示“担忧”，与worries意思相近。故选A。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017.”可知，此处说明了Joby开始制造空中出租车的时间；根据“It can fly as fast as 320 kilometers per hour and can go around 160 kilometers before it needs to be recharged (充电).”可知，此处给出了其飞行距离情况；根据“The company expects to charge (收费) about $3 a mile at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile”可知，此处说明了收费情况。故选项D“给Joby的空中出租车充一次电需要多长时间。”并没有提及。故选D。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了空中出租车的研发和未来发展计划，即空中出租车即将成为现实，故选项B“飞行出租车即将开始起飞”符合语境。故选B。 第二节 短文填空（10分） 以下是一则短文。请阅读短文，并从文后的六个选项中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Doorbells are the bells for people to ring at a door.

There is a special club in the school library called the Genius Bar. It is an IT help desk run by some students. These students can fix (修理) computers and even give teachers help in using technology. Now there are more than 20 students in the club. They go to the library during lunchtime and other times of the day. They offer service to those outside their school. For example, an education center bought a tool (工具) for its students to use, but no one there knew how to put it together. They shipped it over to the school and the Genius Bar kids put it together. Every week, new boxes of different things would appear. When artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT appeared, the Genius Bar kids were the first to try using them. It has already been a group where students try out new things, find out what works, and what’s exciting for kids. It has also given some students ideas about their future jobs. Owen Brennan is one of the club members. He said, “I think a lot of students probably didn’t notice that they were interested in computers and learning about technology.

The Genius Bar, a special technology club B In 2016, Sparta Area Schools in the United States started a project called Books on the Run. It’s a mobile library with a lot of books in the truck. The project got popular among students and parents, but it stopped when COVID-19 came. That changed in the summer of 2023, when two school leaders restarted the activity to get books back in the hands of students. Erin Kavanagh and Jodi West carried out three activities in July and August. The project was, once again, a success, with about 150 books handed out. “The mobile library provides thousands of donated (捐赠的) things for all ages. There’s something for everyone, from picture books to books parents may read. It doesn’t need a card,” Erin said. “Students came and took one or two books, and they were really excited.” “The influence (影响) of Books on the Run was clear when these kids returned to school with books in hand,” Erin said. They didn’t get books shoved (乱塞) under the bed or forgot them. They did read them and took care of them. Of course, that wasn’t the only thing Erin and Jodi wanted to do through the project. They hoped the project would help students have a habit of reading and offer a way to build a relationship between the community and all kids and their parents. Erin and Jodi said, “We plan to bring Books on the Run to more places and provide more chances for kids in the summer of 2024.” 16. What is Books on the Run? A. A community reading club for parents. B. A school program for summer reading. C. An online bookstore for students and parents. D. A mobile library project with a variety of books. 17 How did the kids do with the books they got? A They put them under their bed. B. They read the books very carefully. C. They shared the books with their parents. D. They forgot to take the books back to school. 18. What is one goal of the Books on the Run project besides providing books? A. To compete with local bookstores. B. To collect money for the school library. C To encourage a habit of reading among students. D. To digitize (数字化) all the books in the mobile library. 19. What can we learn from the passage? A. Parents can’t get any books in the project. B. Parents are asked to donate books to the project. C. Erin first came up with the idea of Books on the Run. D. Erin and Jodi want to share the project with more places. 20. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage students to collect books. B. To introduce a project—Books on the Run. C. To tell students to take part in a reading project. D. To teach students how to start a mobile library. C Imagine taking a flying taxi in the rush hour, getting where you want to go much faster than you could in a car. Air taxis are taking a big step forward. In June, a company called Joby Aviation was allowed to test their new air taxi. Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. Compared with helicopters (直升机), Joby says, their taxis are both quieter and cheaper. The air taxi will be flown by a pilot, and can carry four other passengers. It can fly as fast as 320 kilometers per hour and can go around 160 kilometers before it needs to be recharged (充电). By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. The company expects to charge (收费) about $3 a mile at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide 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 order an air taxi. But there’s still a lot to do before air taxis become common. For one thing, governments need to make rules about where, when, and how these taxis can fly. And as exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have concerns about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters, but they’ll still be adding noise and traffic to the skies. Some people think that only rich people will be able to afford (支付得起) to use them in the future. 21. Which of the following is TRUE about Joby’s air taxi? A. It doesn’t need a pilot. B. Five customers can take it together. C. It is cheap and doesn’t have much noise. D. It flies up to 320 miles per hour without being recharged. 22. What is Joby’s future plan? A. To build the world’s first flying taxi. B. To increase the price of their air taxis. C. To test their flying taxis all over the world. D. To offer a ride-sharing service in the sky. 23. What does the underlined word “concerns” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Worries. B. Chances. C. Experiences. D. Suggestions. 24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. When Joby started making flying taxis. B. How far Joby’s air taxis are able to fly. C. What Joby will charge for their flying taxis. D. How long it takes to recharge Joby’s air taxis. 25. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How do flying taxis work? B. Flying taxis are starting to take off. C. How will flying taxis change our life? D. Flying taxis will be common in the future. 第二节 短文填空（10分） 以下是一则短文。请阅读短文，并从文后的六个选项中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Doorbells are the bells for people to ring at a door.
