【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. “Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,” biologist student Hannah told the broadcaster. The youngsters’ feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. It has caused a great threat to the birds. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country. It will make a big difference to the conservation of birds across the country.

Bronte Creek Harvest Festival
On September 28 and 29, 2024, you’re invited to the annual Bronte Creek Harvest Festival.
The history
In the 1900s, farms hired extra workers to help bring in large harvests, and when harvest time rolled around, all the farms would compete to get the best farm workers. In addition to their pay, these workers were given meals and a place to stay, so a good way to get the best workers was to offer the best food and drink.
One of Spruce Lane Farm’s main products was apples and cider (苹果汁). By making the best cider and giving it to their farm workers, they often attracted better farm workers, reducing costs and increasing the quality of the harvest.
Our cider press will be in full operation during the festival. You can try some, but first we need your help pressing the apples!
The activities
Bring your friends and family, and:
·Pick your own pumpkin (by donation)
·Watch demonstrations of apple cider pressing
·Tour a turn-of-the-century farmhouse
·Try a four-foot-long cross-cut saw and make a souvenir
·Enjoy a wagon ride
·Sample seasonal refreshments and food (additional fees apply)
To help guarantee access for day use, our visitors can plan their trip ahead of time and obtain a daily vehicle permit in advance.
Advance daily vehicle permits are available at 7:00 am, five days in advance of your arrival date. Reservations can be made online.

In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now — our living rooms, furniture from thrown tennis balls.
At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless — save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.
Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.
It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?”
Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small — sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time — but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock — around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.”
24. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2?
A. To highlight a waste. B. To promote a product.
C. To state the material of furniture. D. To show tennis’ popularity.
25. What function does paragraph 3 act as?
A. A background. B. An example. C. A definition. D. A proof.
26. What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls?
A. She cleans them cleverly. B. She asks her friends for help.
C. She uses their characteristics. D. She adjusts their colors accordingly.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Wittock’s work plans. B. Wittock’s stuff sources.
C. Wittock’s pride in profits. D. Wittock’s education experience.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是比利时生态设计师玛蒂尔德·维托克用仍掉的网球制作家具的事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Wittock’s chaise longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless—save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.(维托克的长躺椅完全没有垫子——除了装上500个精确排列的网球。她的1米长的板凳同样是罕见的,大约有270个球制成,既时尚又坚固。)”可知,第二段中的数字表明的是维托克制作家具用到的材料数量。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容“Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year—and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.(每年大约生产3亿个网球,几乎所有的网球最终都被送到了垃圾填埋场,需要400多年才能分解。维托克估计,一个球的生命周期仅为九场比赛,这取决于网球的水平。)”可知,维托克认为每年有大量的网球被当作垃圾扔掉了,所以,他想到了用网球制作家具,所以第三段是维托克想到用网球制作家具的背景。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space.(维托克制作一把椅子大约需要三到四周的时间。每个球都是手工裁剪和染色的,颜色特别适合客户的空间。)”可知,维托克要根据客户的空间给网球染色。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段的句子“Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small— sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time— but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock— around 100,000.(如今,她所有的材料都是通过网球俱乐部的捐赠获得的。起初收集的球很少——有时一次只有10个——但很快就增加了。现在,维托克在布鲁塞尔的瓦隆尼亚联盟工作,他们给了她全部的存货——大约10万。)”可知,最后一段主要讲的是维托克的材料来源。故选B项。
C
Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.
Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges.
When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors.
Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research.
28. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents?
A. Special sensors detecting colors.
B. A unique way for color reflection.
C. Advanced software for image generation.
D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination.
29. What can we learn about digital scent?
A. It is created by using cartridges.
B. It’s a fully-developed technology.
C. It comes from the same cartridges.
D. It is related to images on mobile phones.
30. What is one of the troubles scientists face when developing digital scent technology?
A. Creating new scents that don’t exist in nature.
B. Regulating the intensity and duration of scents.
C. Combining all primary colors to produce one smell.
D Finding a way to emit scents that last for a long time.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Technology that can combine colors to create images
B. Challenges faced by digital scent technology
C. The development and potential of digital scent technology
D. The history and future of complex phone technology
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字气味技术,包括它的开发过程和潜力,以及其面临的诸多挑战。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.(屏幕上的小点被称为像素,由三种原色组成:红、绿、蓝。通过以不同的方式混合这些颜色,你的手机可以显示从美丽的海滩景色到可爱的小狗的一切内容。)”可知,像素三种颜色的结合可以使手机屏幕呈现多样化的视觉内容。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells.(就像像素如何混合三种基本颜色来创建图像一样,这些暗盒可以混合产生不同的气味。)”可知,数字气味的生成依赖于使用不同的暗盒。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out.(另一个挑战是如何控制气味的强度以及手机发出气味的时间。)”可知,科学家在开发数字气味技术时面临的困难之一是调节气味的强度和持续时间。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第二段中“Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent.(科学家们正在开发数字气味技术,该技术使用少量不同的暗盒,每个暗盒含有一种特定的气味。)”和第三段中“When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell.(当你收到一个数字气味代码时,你的手机可以混合暗盒中的少量不同气味,以产生想要的气味。)”以及第四段中“Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges.(制造一款可以产生气味的手机包括几个挑战。)”可知,本文主要介绍了数字气味技术,包括它的开发过程和潜力,以及其面临的诸多挑战,C项“数字气味技术的发展和潜力”符合题意。故选C项。
D
In recent years the production of blades (叶片) for wind turbines (风力涡轮机) has undergone a revolution, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced.
But there’s a hitch. Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher.
Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of highly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport corridor, tree branches included, the software reveals — to within a few centimetres — if a blade could get through.
For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, trees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $1.3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100 metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers’ total cost for blades by a quarter.
The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long - shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.
32. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Advantage. B. Challenge. C. Improvement. D. Disorder.
33. How were the wind turbines transported in the past?
A. By making digital models of the large blades.
B. By applying software to the big trees detection.
C. By reducing the load of the trucks to make turns.
D. By using trucks with special devices to decrease the movement of turbines.
34. What is the suggestion about addressing the transportation of turbine blades?
A. Printing the blades on-site at wind farms.
B. Reducing the length of the turbine blades.
C. Increasing the number of transport permits.
D. Using lighter materials to produce the blades.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the efforts to improve the transportation of blades?
A. Cautious. B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了风力涡轮机的叶片运输的问题,尽管物流专家一直在提升他们的水平,但问题依然存在。因此,一家硅谷公司计划在2025年底在风电场进行3D打印叶片,从而来解决其运输问题。尽管找到更好的方法的希望是渺茫的,且花费是惊人的,但确实值得的。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线词hitch后文的内容“Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher.(如今最长的叶片已经变得太大,无法交付给内陆风电场。他们只能通过船只运送到离岸地点,这样的建筑成本要高得多)”可知,划线词后文hitch提到了因为叶片太大而带来的运输问题,故此处划线词hitch与B项“Challenge(挑战)”意思相近,但有一个挑战就是,如今最长的叶片已经变得太大,无法交付给内陆风电场。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Trucks with “blade- lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles.(配备“铲刀升降机”液压装置的卡车可以旋转负载以减少转弯时的位移,这在没有头顶障碍物的情况下是一个有用的技巧)”可知,在过去,涡轮机的运输是通过使用带有特殊装置的卡车来减少涡轮机的运动。故选D。
34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms.(一个想法是在风电场3D打印叶片)”可知,为了解决叶片运输的问题,其中一个建议就是在风电场3D打印叶片。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long - shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.(风力发电行业在叶片运输上花费了惊人的7%左右的资本支出,因此,即使是昂贵的、希望渺茫的寻找更好的方法的尝试,也可能证明是值得的)”可知,作者认为即使是昂贵的、希望渺茫的寻找更好的方法的尝试,也可能证明是值得的。由此推知,作者对改善叶片运输的努力持支持的态度。故选C。

How to Get a Teacher to Like You
While you can’t make every teacher love you, you can work to make them like you. Getting a teacher to like you benefits greatly to your study and mental health. Here are some tips for you to try.
Show your teacher respect and be polite. You can greet them whenever you enter the classroom. ____36____ If your teacher gives you an extension or they make a special appointment to meet with you to discuss ways you can raise your grades, make sure you thank them and show your appreciation.
Pay attention to the lesson and participate in class discussion. ____37____ You can get a teacher to like you simply by paying attention and being interested in their class. Whenever a teacher encourages you to talk about what you’re learning, don’t be shy.
____38____ One of the easiest ways for you to get a teacher to like you is to complete the homework and classroom assignments and to turn them in when they’re due. Turning in incomplete work or asking for a time extension shows them that you didn’t manage your time well or that you’ re not interested in their class.
Ask meaningful questions related to the lesson.

【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:北岛已经建立了一个海龟保护中心,来自几所大学的研究小组在那里建立了实验室和研究中心,为了研究绿海龟种群的状况、海龟环境和保护生物学。根据句意,空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是Beidao Island,是地点名词,定语从句中缺少地点状语,用关系副词where引导从句,作地点状语。故填where。
【64题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:北岛已经建立了一个海龟保护中心,来自几所大学的研究小组在那里建立了实验室和研究中心,为了研究绿海龟种群的状况、海龟环境和保护生物学。根据句意,空处应用动词不定式,作目的状语。故填to study。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the beginning of a new year, and as the “smarty-pants” of my peers, I was placed in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence.
Thus, the incident that happened three months ago was both shocking and surprising. There was a speech competition three months later, and our school was to choose a representative from the best class of our level. The selection was left to our strict English teacher, Mrs Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Due to her high expectations, all of us presumed she would pick one of the biggest mouths in our class. Strangely though, she declared, “Jane shall be the one who will join in the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. My jaw dropped as I drew a deep breath awkwardly. Me? A speech competition? I rubbed my eyes to ensure I was not dreaming.
“You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice. The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and smiled at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice I had ever heard, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?”
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment, while Mrs Lee criticized the class for such rude behaviour.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After school, Mrs Lee called me to her office.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After school, Mrs Lee called me to her office. She gave me a few points on how to overcome stage fright. Patiently, she went through the speech with me several times until my completely bad pronunciation was “cured”. In the following three months, Mrs Lee helped me to overcome all the difficulties. With great effort, I finally mastered my speech and was well-prepared by the end of three months, as the competition approached day by day.
Finally, the day of my competition arrived. I felt stressed and nervous again. Mrs Lee held my cold hands and spoke words of encouragement. I immediately gained confidence. When standing on the stage, I threw all my fears aside and began speaking with enthusiasm. When the contest was over, the judges declared me the champion and asked me to go up on stage to receive the award. The tears of joy welled up in my eyes. Smiling into the audience, I spotted Mrs Lee. It was all thanks to her.

Bronte Creek Harvest Festival
On September 28 and 29, 2024, you’re invited to the annual Bronte Creek Harvest Festival.
The history
In the 1900s, farms hired extra workers to help bring in large harvests, and when harvest time rolled around, all the farms would compete to get the best farm workers. In addition to their pay, these workers were given meals and a place to stay, so a good way to get the best workers was to offer the best food and drink.
One of Spruce Lane Farm’s main products was apples and cider (苹果汁). By making the best cider and giving it to their farm workers, they often attracted better farm workers, reducing costs and increasing the quality of the harvest.
Our cider press will be in full operation during the festival. You can try some, but first we need your help pressing the apples!

In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now — our living rooms, furniture from thrown tennis balls.
At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless — save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.
Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.
It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?”
Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small — sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time — but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock — around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.”
24. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2?
A. To highlight a waste. B. To promote a product.
C. To state the material of furniture. D. To show tennis’ popularity.
25. What function does paragraph 3 act as?
A. A background. B. An example. C. A definition. D. A proof.
26. What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls?
A. She cleans them cleverly. B. She asks her friends for help.
C. She uses their characteristics. D. She adjusts their colors accordingly.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Wittock’s work plans. B. Wittock’s stuff sources.
C. Wittock’s pride in profits. D. Wittock’s education experience.

Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.
Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges.
When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors.
Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research.
28. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents?
A. Special sensors detecting colors.
B A unique way for color reflection.
C. Advanced software for image generation.
D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination.
29. What can we learn about digital scent?
A. It is created by using cartridges.
B. It’s a fully-developed technology.
C. It comes from the same cartridges.
D. It is related to images on mobile phones.
30. What is one of the troubles scientists face when developing digital scent technology?
A. Creating new scents that don’t exist in nature.
B. Regulating the intensity and duration of scents.
C. Combining all primary colors to produce one smell.
D. Finding a way to emit scents that last for a long time.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Technology that can combine colors to create images
B. Challenges faced by digital scent technology
C. The development and potential of digital scent technology
D. The history and future of complex phone technology
D
In recent years the production of blades (叶片) for wind turbines (风力涡轮机) has undergone a revolution, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced.
But there’s a hitch. Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher.
Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of highly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport corridor, tree branches included, the software reveals — to within a few centimetres — if a blade could get through.
For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, trees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $1.3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100 metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers’ total cost for blades by a quarter.
The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long - shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.
32. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Advantage. B. Challenge. C. Improvement. D. Disorder.
33. How were the wind turbines transported in the past?
A. By making digital models of the large blades.
B. By applying software to the big trees detection.
C. By reducing the load of the trucks to make turns.
D. By using trucks with special devices to decrease the movement of turbines.
34. What is the suggestion about addressing the transportation of turbine blades?
A. Printing the blades on-site at wind farms.
B. Reducing the length of the turbine blades.
C. Increasing the number of transport permits.
D. Using lighter materials to produce the blades.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the efforts to improve the transportation of blades?
A. Cautious. B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the beginning of a new year, and as the “smarty-pants” of my peers, I was placed in the best class, where most of the chatterboxes were. Sadly, I was not one of them. Most of the time, my mouth was zipped very tightly and I hardly had any friends who appreciated my silence.
Thus, the incident that happened three months ago was both shocking and surprising. There was a speech competition three months later, and our school was to choose a representative from the best class of our level. The selection was left to our strict English teacher, Mrs Lee, whom I feared the most because she hardly ever smiled at us. Due to her high expectations, all of us presumed she would pick one of the biggest mouths in our class. Strangely though, she declared, “Jane shall be the one who will join in the competition.”
There was silence in our usually-noisy class. My jaw dropped as I drew a deep breath awkwardly. Me? A speech competition? I rubbed my eyes to ensure I was not dreaming.
“You have to write a speech today and show it to me tomorrow, Jane,” Mrs Lee instructed, thereby breaking the ice. The next day, I showed my speech to Mrs Lee. Reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and smiled at me for the first time. In the sweetest voice I had ever heard, she praised me, “Wonderful work! Why don’t you read it to the class?”
Swallowing hard and taking a deep breath, I began reciting my essay with the worst pronunciation anyone had ever heard. The entire class burst into laughter as they shouted discouraging words, saying that they should have been in my place instead. Hot tears stung my eyes as I rushed back to my seat, weeping silently in embarrassment, while Mrs Lee criticized the class for such rude behaviour.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After school, Mrs Lee called me to her office.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, the day of my competition arrived.
