Explained briefly, scuba diving is a water sport that involves breathing air from a tank while underwater. Most scuba divers are recreational (娱乐的) divers who explore underwater environments. There are also people who scuba dive for work including public safety divers, marine biologists and many others. How is scuba diving done? You might choose the dive site and invite friends. Either way, your plan should include diving with at least one other person in case anything goes wrong underwater. Once you decide where you want to dive and for how long, you’ll choose the appropriate scuba equipment. When the dive day arrives, you’ll check the dive conditions one more time. If everything looks good, you’ll head to the dock or dive site with your gear. Who can scuba dive? Scuba diving is open to anyone eight years old or older who is comfortable in the water. There is no upper age limit. At age ten, kids can earn a Junior Open Water certification. To learn to dive, you must have basic swimming skills and no underlying health conditions. People of all abilities can scuba dive, including individuals with physical challenges. Is scuba diving safe? With the right training, scuba diving is considerably safer than other popular activities. Statistics show you’re more likely to get injured while fishing, playing golf, snowboarding or even bowling than scuba diving. The most common medical issues associated with scuba diving are preventable such as sunburn and seasickness. Experience Life Authentic Scuba diving is one of the few experiences where you can see fascinating animals in their natural habitat. When you immerse yourself in the world beneath the waves, you leave text messages and to-do lists behind. It’s the perfect escape from the demands of the surface world. Take the first step to leading a more extraordinary life. Click the button below to get started. 1. What is the lower age limit for getting a Junior Open Water certification? A. 8. B. 10. C. 18. D.

When you immerse yourself in the world beneath the waves, you leave text messages and to-do lists behind. It’s the perfect escape from the demands of the surface world. (水肺潜水是少数几种能让你在自然栖息地看到迷人动物的体验之一。当你沉浸在波浪下的世界中时，你会把短信和待办事项清单抛在脑后。这是逃离地面世界需求的完美方式)”可知，水肺潜水可以让你暂时忘记日常生活的压力，是逃离这些压力的好方法。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Take the first step to leading a more extraordinary life. Click the button below to get started. (迈出走向更非凡生活的第一步。点击下面的按钮开始)”可知，文章最后提到了点击按钮开始，这暗示该文章很可能来自网页。故选C项。 B While writing report cards several years ago, Jennifer Thiessen felt troubled. Her third-grade students were being evaluated on subjects like math and science. However, they weren’t being evaluated on life skills, such as social responsibility and kindness. “That’s the stuff that I feel is really important for them to learn and carry forward in their lives,” Thiessen said. She mentioned her concerns to Kyla Stradling, a fellow teacher, and they hatched a plan. They assigned their students a project that had nothing to do with standard school subjects. Instead, it was centered on spreading goodwill. They called it the “Kindness Project”. “If we could be that spark of kindness, we could inspire others to do acts of kindness,” Thiessen told her students. Students from two third-grade classes made cupcakes and sold them for $1 during a series of bake sales at the school. They raised about $400. Students used the proceeds to purchase small gifts, like bouquets of flowers, dog treats or candies. They handed the gifts out to strangers near the school. Many people seemed “caught off guard” when they received the gifts. But they were all in when the students explained what the project was about. Some were moved to tears. “This is a lesson we can’t teach in a classroom,” Thiessen said. She decided to make it a yearly activity for third-graders at the school. “It’s my favorite day of the year with them,” Thiessen said. “I’m there to supervise but I really get to sit back and just watch them.” The goal of the project is to start a chain of kindness within the community and to show the students what they can do. “The bigger idea of the project,” Thiessen said, “is the feelings they’ll carry with them as they grow.” “It’s this lasting thing,” she said. “I think down the line, it will always stick with them.” 4. What is the purpose of the “Kindness Project”? A. To assign a project. B. To spread goodwill. C. To collect money for school. D. To judge students on subjects. 5. What does the underlined phrase “caught off guard” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Filled with joy. B. Cautious about risks. C. Grateful to others. D. Taken by surprise. 6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the project? A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable. C. Short-term. D. Unidentifiable. 7. What can be concluded according to Thiessen? A. She accompanied third-graders and helped them. B. The kindness would stay with the students in the long run. C. The project became an annual activity for the whole school. D. The project turned out to be a lesson taught in a classroom. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，Jennifer Thiessen和Kyla Stradling两位老师认为学生们应在生活技能方面（如社会责任和善良）得到评估，于是他们发起了“善良项目”，学生们通过售卖纸杯蛋糕筹集资金购买小礼物送给陌生人，这个项目旨在社区内传递善意并让学生明白自己能做什么，而且这种善意将伴随学生成长。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They assigned their students a project that had nothing to do with standard school subjects. Instead, it was centered on spreading goodwill. They called it the “Kindness Project”.(他们给学生布置了一个与标准学校科目无关的项目。相反，它以传播善意（goodwill）为核心。他们称之为“友善项目”)” 可知，“友善项目” 的目的是传播善意，故选B项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Many people seemed… when they received the gifts. But they were all in when the students explained what the project was about.(许多人在收到礼物时似乎……。但当学生们解释这个项目是关于什么的时候，他们都积极参与了进来)”可知，一开始收到礼物时人们的反应和后来了解项目情况后积极参与的反应是不同的，由此可推测，一开始收到礼物时人们是很意外的，所以“caught off guard”意思是“感到意外，措手不及”，与“Taken by surprise”意思相近，故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The goal of the project is to start a chain of kindness within the community and to show the students what they can do. “The bigger idea of the project,” Thiessen said, “is the feelings they’ll carry with them as they grow.”(这个项目的目标是在社区内开启一连串的友善行为，并向学生展示他们能做些什么。Thiessen 说：“这个项目更大的意义在于他们成长过程中会一直怀揣着的那些感受。”)”以及最后一段““It’s this lasting thing,” she said. “I think down the line, it will always stick with them.”(“这是一件持久的事情，”她说。“我认为从长远来看，它将永远伴随着他们。”)”可知，这个项目的影响是长远的、意义深远的，“Far-reaching”符合此意，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It’s this lasting thing,” she said. “I think down the line, it will always stick with them.”(“这是一件持久的事情，” 她说。“我认为从长远来看，它将永远伴随着他们。”)”可知，Thiessen认为认为从长远来看，友善的品质会一直伴随着学生们，故选B项。 C A new simulation (模拟) technology developed by the University of Bristol enables effective remote control of lunar robots for moon dust collection, and potentially reducing the cost and complexity of lunar missions. Teleoperated robots for collecting moon dust are one step closer to reality, thanks to this new research. Alongside a boom in lunar lander missions this decade, several organizations are now researching how best to extract valuable resources, such as oxygen and water, from readily available materials such as lunar regolith (风化层). Remote handling of regolith will be an essential step in these activities, as it would first need to be collected from the Moon’s surface. Traditional methods for collecting and analyzing lunar samples often require human intervention or complex robotic systems, which can be affected by communication delays. This new approach uses a simulation to control physical robots, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of remote operations on the Moon and revolutionizing how lunar resources are collected and managed. Using a virtual model of regolith can also reduce the barriers to entry for people looking to develop lunar robots. Instead of needing to invest in expensive simulants (模拟物), or have access to facilities, people developing lunar robots could use this simulation to carry out initial tests on their systems. Future work should focus on improving the simulation and overcoming non-technical barriers, like whether human operators trust that the system will work. Overall, the ongoing development of this technology will be critical to the success of upcoming lunar missions and the broader goal of establishing a sustained human presence on the Moon. 8. Why does the author mention traditional methods in the third paragraph? A. To provide some examples. B. To introduce the new system. C. To analyze the difficulties they met. D. To highlight the advantages of the new technology. 9. What challenge might human operators need to address? A. Developing lunar robots. B. Collecting materials. C. Trusting the system. D. Investing in expensive facilities. 10. What is the future of this new simulation technology? A. Limited. B. Promising. C. Uncertain. D. Challenging. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. An innovative lunar robot is developed by scientists. B. Cutting-edge technology enables effective remote control of robots. C. Astronauts successfully extract lunar regolith in lunar lander missions. D. A groundbreaking simulation technology brings us closer to lunar research. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了布里斯托大学开发的一项新的模拟技术，该技术能够实现对月球机器人的有效远程控制，用于月球灰尘收集，并可能降低月球任务的成本和复杂性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Traditional methods for collecting and analyzing lunar samples often require human intervention or complex robotic systems, which can be affected by communication delays.(收集和分析月球样本的传统方法往往需要人工干预或复杂的机器人系统，这些系统可能会受到通信延迟的影响)”可知，作者在第三段提到传统方法需要人工干预或复杂的机器人系统，并且可能受到通信延迟的影响。紧接着，文章第四段“This new approach uses a simulation to control physical robots, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of remote operations on the Moon and revolutionizing how lunar resources are collected and managed.(这种新方法使用模拟来控制实体机器人，提高了月球远程操作的效率和有效性，并彻底改变了月球资源的收集和管理方式)”中介绍了新的方法，即使用模拟来控制实体机器人，提高了月球远程操作的效率和有效性，并彻底改变了月球资源的收集和管理方式。因此，作者提到传统方法是为了与新方法形成对比，从而突出新技术的优势。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Future work should focus on improving the simulation and overcoming non-technical barriers, like whether human operators trust that the system will work.(未来的工作应侧重于改进模拟技术并克服非技术障碍，比如人类操作者是否信任该系统能正常工作)”可知，人类操作者面临的一个挑战是信任系统，即确保他们相信这个新的模拟技术能够有效地控制月球机器人并完成任务。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Overall, the ongoing development of this technology will be critical to the success of upcoming lunar missions and the broader goal of establishing a sustained human presence on the Moon.(总的来说，这项技术的持续开发对于即将进行的月球任务的成功以及更广泛的在月球上建立持续人类存在的目标至关重要)”可知，作者认为这项新的模拟技术有着良好的发展前景，对于未来的月球任务和目标至关重要。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出布里斯托大学开发的一种新模拟技术能实现对月球机器人的有效远程控制以进行月球尘埃收集，有望降低月球任务的成本和复杂性，接着介绍了在月球着陆任务增多的背景下，提取月球风化层等资源时远程操作的重要性，以及传统收集分析月球样本方法的局限，然后阐述了这种新模拟技术的优势，比如利用风化层虚拟模型可降低开发月球机器人的门槛等，最后提及未来工作的重点及该技术对未来月球任务成功和人类在月球长期存在这一目标的重要性。选项D“A groundbreaking simulation technology brings us closer to lunar research.(一项开创性的模拟技术使我们离月球研究更近了一步)”准确概括了文章围绕新的模拟技术在助力月球机器人远程操作、降低开发门槛以及对未来月球任务等方面发挥作用，从而推动月球研究向前发展这一核心内容，符合主旨。故选D。 D Wolves in Ethiopia that lick the flowers of the “red-hot poker” flowers are the first known large carnivores (食肉动物) to eat nectar (花蜜). In the new study, published Nov. 19 in the journal Ecology, the researchers followed six Ethiopian wolves from three different packs over four days. While most of the wolves visited only a handful of flowers, one visited 20 and another visited 30 in a single visit. When the wolves visited a red-hot poker plant they usually licked the mature lowermost flowers, which contained the most nectar. In doing so, their noses and mouths became coated with pollen (花粉). This could mean the wolves can spread that pollen to other flowers, the researchers wrote in the study. However, it’s not yet clear whether the wolves are effective pollinators (传花粉者). Nectar isn’t a significant part of their diet, so more research is needed to determine how often the wolves visit the flowers. And there isn’t evidence yet that a wolf could transfer enough pollen to another flower to pollinate it effectively. “I first became aware of the nectar of the Ethiopian red-hot poker when I saw some children in the Bale Mountains licking the flowers,” study co-author Claudio Sillero, a conservation biologist at the University of Oxford, said in the statement. “In no time, I had a taste of it myself—the nectar was pleasantly sweet. When I later saw the wolves doing the same, I knew they were enjoying themselves, tapping into this unusual source of energy.” Future research will involve determining the role of nectar in the wolves’ diet and working out whether the wolves really do act as pollinators, the researchers wrote in the study. 12. What did the new research find? A. Wolves in Ethiopia had a bit of a sweet tooth. B. Wolves in Ethiopia were endangered animals. C. Wolves in Ethiopia acted as effective pollinators. D. Wolves in Ethiopia fed on the “red-hot poker” flowers. 13. How did researchers prove their study? A. By analyzing questionnaires. B. By concluding previous studies. C. By interviewing participants in the study. D. By recording statistics of the subjects. 14. What can we learn from Claudio Sillero’s words? A. Wolves are enjoying this usual source of energy. B. He didn’t have time to lick the flowers on his own. C. Most flowers produce nectar to attract large animals. D. He initially knew this nectar by seeing children’s behavior. 15. What is the writer’s attitude towards wolves acting as effective pollinators? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Favorable. D. Intolerant. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究者首次发现埃塞俄比亚狼舔着“火炬花”的花朵，这是已知的第一个吃花蜜的大型食肉动物。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wolves in Ethiopia that lick the flowers of the “red-hot poker” flowers are the first known large carnivores to eat nectar. (埃塞俄比亚的狼舔着“火炬花”的花朵，这是已知的第一个吃花蜜的大型食肉动物).”及第五段“In no time, I had a taste of it myself—the nectar was pleasantly sweet. When I later saw the wolves doing the same, I knew they were enjoying themselves, tapping into this unusual source of energy.(很快，我自己就尝了一口——花蜜甜得令人愉快。当我后来看到狼也这样做时，我知道它们在享受自己，利用这种不寻常的能量来源)”可知，埃塞俄比亚狼舔舐花朵，证明它们爱吃甜花蜜。A项中的短语have a sweet tooth意为“爱吃甜食”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the new study, published Nov. 19 in the journal Ecology, the researchers followed six Ethiopian wolves from three different packs over four days. While most of the wolves visited only a handful of flowers, one visited 20 and another visited 30 in a single visit.(在11月19日发表在《生态学》杂志上的这项新研究中，研究人员在四天的时间里跟踪了来自三个不同群体的六只埃塞俄比亚狼。虽然大多数狼只看了几朵花，但有一只狼一次看了20朵，另一只一次看了30朵)”可知，研究人员是通过跟踪记录实验对象的数据，来证明埃塞俄比亚狼吃花蜜。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段引语“I first became aware of the nectar of the Ethiopian red-hot poker when I saw some children in the Bale Mountains licking the flowers(当我看到贝尔山脉一些孩子在舔花时，我第一次意识到埃塞俄比亚“火炬花”的花蜜)”可知，Claudio Sillero是看到孩子们舔花朵而了解到“火炬花”花蜜的。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, it’s not yet clear whether the wolves are effective pollinators. Nectar isn’t a significant part of their diet, so more research is needed to determine how often the wolves visit the flowers. And there isn’t evidence yet that a wolf could transfer enough pollen to another flower to pollinate it effectively.(然而，目前尚不清楚狼是否是有效的传粉者。花蜜并不是它们饮食的重要组成部分，所以需要更多的研究来确定狼多久光顾一次花。目前还没有证据表明狼可以将足够的花粉传递到另一朵花上，从而有效地授粉)”及最后一段“Future research will involve determining the role of nectar in the wolves’ diet and working out whether the wolves really do act as pollinators(未来的研究将包括确定花蜜在狼的饮食中所起的作用，并弄清楚狼是否真的起到了传粉者的作用)” 可知，作者对于狼是有效的花粉传播者持怀疑的态度。故选A项。 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。 You might be alone on holidays for different reasons.

The villagers lived a happy life. All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could read, let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. Her parents had made sure that their only child gets everything possible. Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters. One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventurous quests, she came upon an abandoned cottage. She tiptoed to the door and slowly opened it. She was left stunned. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Hannah was excited as she realized that she had found a hidden treasure. Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at her home. She met her friends on the way home who were interested in what Hannah was carrying. Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. The next day, she made her way to the cottage again. The books in the cottage were too interesting, filled with stories about different creatures. She discovered stories about characters who faced challenges with strong will and those who aimed to do good. The little girl was so inspired by the books. She learned the power of love and friendship, and that the true strength lies within one’s own heart! With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the people of her village. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式作答。 She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she wanted to share the gold with everyone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, the word of Hannah’s storytelling spread to far-off towns. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she wanted to share the gold with everyone. She wanted to ignite the sparks of curiosity and imagination in her peers. Making this her mission, Hannah started telling tales every day at her cottage. She added her own touch of curiosity every now and then to different stories, making them more interesting. In the beginning, only her very good friends and her family came to the readings. But the words of her famous tales spread rapidly causing more and more people to come to the readings. Seeing the interest of her own people, Hannah started writing stories of her own too! Paragraph 2 Soon, the words of Hannah’s storytelling spread to far-off towns. People traveled from different places to just listen to her stories. Everyone would gather around Hannah in awe as she told her stories. The old cottage was no longer withering away as people from her own village helped her build the cottage again. And thus, the forgotten treasure lying in the old cottage transformed into a world of infinite adventures, imagination and possibilities. Hannah even conducted workshops in which she taught her fellows how to read and write. Hannah’s passion and dedication blew life into the tales and her words breathed new life into countless souls. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在一个封闭的小村庄，人们安于现状，几乎没有读写能力，但一个名叫Hannah的富有冒险精神的女孩儿，一天她在探险的时候发现了一个小木屋，里面有许多书籍，她对这些书籍非常感兴趣，决定与村里的人们分享这些故事。村里人从一开始的不感兴趣到被书中内容吸引，最后越来越多的人愿意听Hannah读书的故事。 【详解】1．段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在回家的路上，她遇到了她的朋友们。”可知，第一段可描写Hannah与朋友分享她的发现及朋友的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“她想与大家分享“财富”，尽管这很困难。”可知，第二段可描写Hannah为了和大家分享书中内容付出的努力及大家的反应。 2．续写线索：发现木屋——找到书籍——想要分享——遭到嘲笑——坚持不懈——取得成功 3．词汇激活行为类 ①回家：go home/ return home ②受到鼓舞：feel inspired/ be encouraged ③传播：spread/ go viral 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②开心的：happy/ delighted/ cheerful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Explained briefly, scuba diving is a water sport that involves breathing air from a tank while underwater. Most scuba divers are recreational (娱乐的) divers who explore underwater environments. There are also people who scuba dive for work including public safety divers, marine biologists and many others. How is scuba diving done? You might choose the dive site and invite friends. Either way, your plan should include diving with at least one other person in case anything goes wrong underwater. Once you decide where you want to dive and for how long, you’ll choose the appropriate scuba equipment. When the dive day arrives, you’ll check the dive conditions one more time. If everything looks good, you’ll head to the dock or dive site with your gear. Who can scuba dive? Scuba diving is open to anyone eight years old or older who is comfortable in the water. There is no upper age limit. At age ten kids can earn a Junior Open Water certification. To learn to dive, you must have basic swimming skills and no underlying health conditions. People of all abilities can scuba dive, including individuals with physical challenges. Is scuba diving safe? With the right training, scuba diving is considerably safer than other popular activities. Statistics show you’re more likely to get injured while fishing, playing golf, snowboarding or even bowling than scuba diving. The most common medical issues associated with scuba diving are preventable such as sunburn and seasickness. Experience Life Authentic Scuba diving is one of the few experiences where you can see fascinating animals in their natural habitat. When you immerse yourself in the world beneath the waves, you leave text messages and to-do lists behind. It’s the perfect escape from the demands of the surface world. Take the first step to leading a more extraordinary life. Click the button below to get started. 1. What is the lower age limit for getting a Junior Open Water certification? A. 8. B. 10. C. 18. D. No age limit. 2. What do we know about scuba diving according to the passage? A. Scuba diving is no safer than snowboarding. B. Physically disabled people mustn’t go scuba diving. C. All scuba divers engage in diving activities for recreational purposes. D Scuba diving can serve as a great way to escape the stress of daily life. 3. Where is the passage most probably taken from? A. A brochure. B. A newspaper. C. A web page. D. A leaflet. B While writing report cards several years ago, Jennifer Thiessen felt troubled. Her third-grade students were being evaluated on subjects like math and science. However, they weren’t being evaluated on life skills, such as social responsibility and kindness. “That’s the stuff that I feel is really important for them to learn and carry forward in their lives,” Thiessen said. She mentioned her concerns to Kyla Stradling, a fellow teacher, and they hatched a plan. They assigned their students a project that had nothing to do with standard school subjects. Instead, it was centered on spreading goodwill. They called it the “Kindness Project”. “If we could be that spark of kindness, we could inspire others to do acts of kindness,” Thiessen told her students. Students from two third-grade classes made cupcakes and sold them for $1 during a series of bake sales at the school. They raised about $400. Students used the proceeds to purchase small gifts, like bouquets of flowers, dog treats or candies. They handed the gifts out to strangers near the school. Many people seemed “caught off guard” when they received the gifts. But they were all in when the students explained what the project was about. Some were moved to tears. “This is a lesson we can’t teach in a classroom,” Thiessen said. She decided to make it a yearly activity for third-graders at the school. “It’s my favorite day of the year with them,” Thiessen said. “I’m there to supervise but I really get to sit back and just watch them.” The goal of the project is to start a chain of kindness within the community and to show the students what they can do. “The bigger idea of the project,” Thiessen said, “is the feelings they’ll carry with them as they grow.” “It’s this lasting thing,” she said. “I think down the line, it will always stick with them.” 4. What is the purpose of the “Kindness Project”? A. To assign a project. B. To spread goodwill. C. To collect money for school. D. To judge students on subjects. 5. What does the underlined phrase “caught off guard” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Filled with joy. B. Cautious about risks. C. Grateful to others. D. Taken by surprise. 6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the project? A Far-reaching. B. Predictable. C. Short-term. D. Unidentifiable. 7. What can be concluded according to Thiessen? A. She accompanied third-graders and helped them. B. The kindness would stay with the students in the long run. C. The project became an annual activity for the whole school. D. The project turned out to be a lesson taught in a classroom. C A new simulation (模拟) technology developed by the University of Bristol enables effective remote control of lunar robots for moon dust collection, and potentially reducing the cost and complexity of lunar missions. Teleoperated robots for collecting moon dust are one step closer to reality, thanks to this new research. Alongside a boom in lunar lander missions this decade, several organizations are now researching how best to extract valuable resources, such as oxygen and water, from readily available materials such as lunar regolith (风化层). Remote handling of regolith will be an essential step in these activities, as it would first need to be collected from the Moon’s surface. Traditional methods for collecting and analyzing lunar samples often require human intervention or complex robotic systems, which can be affected by communication delays. This new approach uses a simulation to control physical robots, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of remote operations on the Moon and revolutionizing how lunar resources are collected and managed. Using a virtual model of regolith can also reduce the barriers to entry for people looking to develop lunar robots. Instead of needing to invest in expensive simulants (模拟物), or have access to facilities, people developing lunar robots could use this simulation to carry out initial tests on their systems. Future work should focus on improving the simulation and overcoming non-technical barriers, like whether human operators trust that the system will work. Overall, the ongoing development of this technology will be critical to the success of upcoming lunar missions and the broader goal of establishing a sustained human presence on the Moon. 8. Why does the author mention traditional methods in the third paragraph? A. To provide some examples. B. To introduce the new system. C. To analyze the difficulties they met. D. To highlight the advantages of the new technology. 9. What challenge might human operators need to address? A. Developing lunar robots. B. Collecting materials. C. Trusting the system. D. Investing in expensive facilities. 10. What is the future of this new simulation technology? A. Limited. B. Promising. C. Uncertain. D. Challenging. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. An innovative lunar robot is developed by scientists. B. Cutting-edge technology enables effective remote control of robots. C. Astronauts successfully extract lunar regolith in lunar lander missions. D. A groundbreaking simulation technology brings us closer to lunar research. D Wolves in Ethiopia that lick the flowers of the “red-hot poker” flowers are the first known large carnivores (食肉动物) to eat nectar (花蜜). In the new study, published Nov. 19 in the journal Ecology, the researchers followed six Ethiopian wolves from three different packs over four days. While most of the wolves visited only a handful of flowers, one visited 20 and another visited 30 in a single visit. When the wolves visited a red-hot poker plant, they usually licked the mature lowermost flowers, which contained the most nectar. In doing so, their noses and mouths became coated with pollen (花粉). This could mean the wolves can spread that pollen to other flowers, the researchers wrote in the study. However, it’s not yet clear whether the wolves are effective pollinators (传花粉者). Nectar isn’t a significant part of their diet, so more research is needed to determine how often the wolves visit the flowers. And there isn’t evidence yet that a wolf could transfer enough pollen to another flower to pollinate it effectively. “I first became aware of the nectar of the Ethiopian red-hot poker when I saw some children in the Bale Mountains licking the flowers,” study co-author Claudio Sillero, a conservation biologist at the University of Oxford, said in the statement. “In no time, I had a taste of it myself—the nectar was pleasantly sweet. When I later saw the wolves doing the same, I knew they were enjoying themselves, tapping into this unusual source of energy.” Future research will involve determining the role of nectar in the wolves’ diet and working out whether the wolves really do act as pollinators, the researchers wrote in the study. 12. What did the new research find? A. Wolves in Ethiopia had a bit of a sweet tooth. B. Wolves in Ethiopia were endangered animals. C. Wolves in Ethiopia acted as effective pollinators. D. Wolves in Ethiopia fed on the “red-hot poker” flowers. 13. How did researchers prove their study? A. By analyzing questionnaires. B. By concluding previous studies. C By interviewing participants in the study. D. By recording statistics of the subjects. 14. What can we learn from Claudio Sillero’s words? A. Wolves are enjoying this usual source of energy. B.

Very few people in the village could read, let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. Her parents had made sure that their only child gets everything possible. Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters. One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventurous quests, she came upon an abandoned cottage. She tiptoed to the door and slowly opened it. She was left stunned. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Hannah was excited as she realized that she had found a hidden treasure. Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at her home. She met her friends on the way home who were interested in what Hannah was carrying. Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends would share her excitement but instead she heard roars of laughter! Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. The next day, she made her way to the cottage again. The books in the cottage were too interesting, filled with stories about different creatures. She discovered stories about characters who faced challenges with strong will and those who aimed to do good. The little girl was so inspired by the books.
