Justin Padgett, a fifth-grade teacher at Highland Elementary School, first met Jayden when the boy had some difficulty in doing his schoolwork. To help him, Justin spent extra time teaching Jayden in reading and social studies.
During one of their meetings, what Jayden said changed both their lives. “I have to wait to be sent to another family,” Jayden told his teacher. The young boy explained that his present foster (寄养的) parents couldn’t adopt (收养) him or his three sisters.
Justin and his wife Kasey had always wanted to have a child, but they had come to admit the fact that children might not be in their future. However, they had already begun taking classes to prepare for fostering children, and they hoped they could provide a loving home for those in need one day. Jayden’s words struck the Padgetts deeply, and they felt called to take a step forward.
The couple welcomed Jayden and his three sisters into their home, fostering them with the idea of adopting. On March 3, 2022, their dream became a reality when the adoption went through all the law processes, and the Padgett family grew from two to six.
“Our lives are complete,” Justin shared in an interview. “We have put ourselves where we need to be at the right time. I feel content.”
Now, the couple hope their story will encourage others to consider fostering or taking in children in need. They believe that every child should own a loving home and a chance to grow well and healthily, and they’re eager to spread that message to others.
4. What problem did Jayden face?
A. He would have no one to care for him.
B. He had to support his three sisters.
C. He had difficulty communicating with others.
D. He was treated badly by his foster parents.
5. What had the Padgetts wanted to do for a long time?
A. Find foster parents for kids in need. B. Have their own child.
C Set up a school for the homeless. D. Help students with study problems.
6. What is the Padgetts’ wish now?
A. Children can grow up happily. B. Every kid should play a role in the family.
C. Parents get on well with their children. D. More people can follow their example.
7. Which word can best describe Jayden?

American companies are developing unmanned planes that are larger than drones (无人机). The goal is to help farmers and reduce risks to human safety.
When Hector Xu was learning to pilot a helicopter (直升机) in college with his best friend, he remembered having a few terrible experiences while flying at night. That led him to research unmanned plane systems. Then, Xu formed Rotor Technologies in 2021 to develop unmanned helicopters.
Rotor has built two unmanned helicopters that the company calls Sprayhawks. Rotor aims to have as many as 20 Sprayhawks ready for market next year. The company is also developing efficient (高效的) helicopters that would fly materials into areas struck by earthquakes. The helicopters could also be used to fight wildfires.
For now, Rotor is paying attention to farming. A major attraction of automation (自动化) in farming flights is safety. Because special airplanes fly at around 240 kph and only about 3 meters off the ground, there are tens of accidents (事故) each year. The small planes hit power lines, cell towers and other planes. Older planes in disrepair and pilot tiredness play a part in accidents.
In recent years, safety and cost concerns have led to a number of drones flying above farmers’ fields. But the size of the drones means they can only work over a small amount of the area that a plane or helicopter can. This is providing an opening for companies building bigger unmanned planes like Rotor.
Companies like Rotor have developed their systems to work even when bad events come up. Rotor’ s helicopter, for example, has a half-dozen communication systems and, for now, a pilot in control. If the ground team can’t get in touch with the helicopter, Rotor has a system to dispose of it. The system makes sure the engine can be turned off and the helicopter can perform a controlled landing.
12. What caused Hector Xu to start his company?
A. His best friend’s suffering. B. His experiences in college.
C. His interest in new technologies. D. His dream to help more farmers.
13. What can we know about Rotor?
A. It focuses not only on farming.
B Its main product is unmanned drones.
C. Its helicopters have no pilot to control them.
D. It has already put 20 Sprayhawks on the market.
14. What is the weakness of the agricultural drone?
A. It covers a small range. B. It flies at low speed.
C. It is not easy to control. D. It results in many accidents.
15. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Learn from. B. Depend on. C. Guard against. D. Deal with.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国公司正在开发比无人机更大的无人驾驶直升机,旨在帮助农民并降低对人类安全的风险。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When Hector Xu was learning to pilot a helicopter(直升机)in college with his best friend, he remembered having a few terrible experiences while flying at night. That led him to research unmanned plane systems. Then, Xu formed Rotor Technologies in 2021 to develop unmanned helicopters.(Hector Xu在大学与挚友一起学习驾驶直升机时,他记得在夜间飞行时有过几次可怕的经历。这促使他研究无人驾驶飞机系统。随后,徐于 2021 年创立了旋翼技术公司(Rotor Technologies),以研发无人直升机。)” 可知,Hector Xu在大学学习驾驶直升机时夜间飞行的可怕经历,促使他研究无人驾驶飞机系统并创办了公司。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Rotor has built two unmanned helicopters that the company calls Sprayhawks. Rotor aims to have as many as 20 Sprayhawks ready for market next year. The company is also developing efficient(高效的)helicopters that would fly materials into areas struck by earthquakes. The helicopters could also be used to fight wildfires.(旋翼技术公司已制造出两架名为“Sprayhawks”的无人直升机。该公司计划明年将多达 20 架“Sprayhawks”推向市场。公司还在研发高效直升机,用于向遭受地震袭击的地区运送物资。这些直升机也可用于扑救野火。)”可知,旋翼技术公司不仅关注农业,还致力于研发用于向地震灾区运送物资以及灭火等用途的直升机。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“But the size of the drones means they can only work over a small amount of the area that a plane or helicopter can.(但无人机的尺寸限制意味着它们的作业面积,仅为飞机或直升机可覆盖面积的一小部分。)”可知,无人机的尺寸限制了其作业范围,相较于飞机或直升机,它只能覆盖一小部分区域。故选A。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Companies like Rotor have developed their systems to work even when bad events come up.(像旋翼技术公司这样的企业,已将其系统研发得即便在突发状况下也能正常运作。)”可知,旋翼技术公司可以处理突发状况。再根据划线单词下文“The system makes sure the engine can be turned off and the helicopter can perform a controlled landing.(该系统可确保发动机关闭,使直升机能够实现可控降落。)”可推测,划线单词的意思和“处理”相似。选项D“deal with”,意为“处理、解决”。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many travelers face a common problem: jet lag (时差反应). ____16____ It usually results from a difference in daylight hours, especially in a long distance travel. Here are some tips on how to deal with jet lag.
____17____ There are many ways to do so. One of them is very expensive. That is, paying a lot for a bigger seat and more space in an airplane can prevent sleep deprivation(缺乏). Most people can’t afford so much money to travel. But scheduling flights properly can help. For example, flying from Europe to North America during the day so that when passengers land, it is night and they can sleep. If you take the evening flight instead, you’ ll be woken up at midnight to be served breakfast and land an hour or two later. ____18____
Being in sunlight is important to setting your body clock again. That could mean either avoiding the morning sun or seeking it out, depending on where you started. Getting light in the morning will move your body clock forward. Sleeping for a short time during the day is okay, but scientists warn against sleeping for longer periods later in the day. ____19____
Business travelers might want to consider arriving a day or two ahead of any important meetings or events. Being jet-lagged can lead to unwise decisions and unpleasant feelings. Tourists might not need to think as clearly as business travelers. ____20____ Tourists are advised to get enough sleep before doing anything that might be dangerous or that requires a lot of attention, like driving.
A. Yet they should still be careful.
B. It is the feeling of tiredness people get when traveling.
C. Doing so might make it harder to sleep through the night.
D. If the light doesn’t work, there’s another way; drink coffee.
E. People who travel long distances often want to prevent jet lag.
F. In this case, both jet lag and sleep deprivation can seriously affect you.
G. Nobody wants to miss the fun because they are too tired to enjoy their vacation.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文围绕“时差反应”展开,提供了一些应对时差反应的小贴士。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Many travelers face a common problem: jet lag.(许多旅行者都面临一个共同的问题:时差反应。)”可知,前文提到“时差反应”,空格处应是对时差反应的解释。选项B“It is the feeling of tiredness people get when traveling.(它是人们在旅行时产生的疲劳感。)”对时差反应进行了定义,引出下文关于应对时差反应的建议。故选B。
【17题详解】
空处为段首句,为本段主题内容。根据下文“There are many ways to do so. One of them is very expensive. That is, paying a lot for a bigger seat and more space in an airplane can prevent sleep deprivation (缺乏). Most people can’t afford so much money to travel. But scheduling flights properly can help.(长途旅行的人通常都想预防时差反应。有很多方法可以做到这一点。其中一种方法成本很高,即花大价钱在飞机上购买更大的座位和更多的空间,这样可以避免睡眠不足。但大多数人负担不起这么昂贵的旅行花费。不过,合理安排航班时间会有所帮助。)”可知,下文提到的预防时差反应的方法,如购买飞机上更大空间的座位、合理安排航班等,可知此段是在讲预防时差反应。选项E“People who travel long distances often want to prevent jet lag.(长途旅行的人通常想预防时差反应。)”正是本段内容的概括,自然引出下文预防时差反应的具体做法。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“For example, flying from Europe to North America during the day so that when passengers land, it is night and they can sleep. If you take the evening flight instead, you’ ll be woken up at midnight to be served breakfast and land an hour or two later.(例如,选择白天从欧洲飞往北美,这样乘客抵达时正好是晚上,就可以睡觉。如果你选择晚上的航班,你会在午夜被叫醒吃早餐,一两个小时后抵达目的地。)”可知,上文提到如果选择晚上的航班,会在午夜被叫醒吃早餐,一两个小时后降落。选项F“In this case, both jet lag and sleep deprivation can seriously affect you.(在这种情况下,时差反应和睡眠不足都会严重影响你。)”中的“this case”指代前文晚上航班的情况,进一步说明这种情况对人的不良影响,符合语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Sleeping for a short time during the day is okay, but scientists warn against sleeping for longer periods later in the day.(白天小睡一会儿是可以的,但科学家警告不要在白天晚些时候长时间睡觉。)”可知,上文提到白天小睡没问题,但科学家警告不要在白天晚些时候长时间睡觉。选项C“Doing so might make it harder to sleep through the night.(这样做可能会使晚上更难入睡。)”中的“Doing so”指代白天晚些时候长时间睡觉,解释了不能这样做的原因,符合逻辑。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Business travelers might want to consider arriving a day or two ahead of any important meetings or events. Being jet-lagged can lead to unwise decisions and unpleasant feelings. Tourists might not need to think as clearly as business travelers.(商务旅行者可能会考虑在任何重要会议或活动前提前一两天到达。时差反应可能导致不明智的决策和不愉快的情绪。游客可能不需要像商务旅行者那样思维清晰。)”可知,上文提到商务旅行者需要在重要会议或活动前提前一两天到达,因为时差反应可能导致不明智的决定和不愉快的感觉,又说游客可能不需要像商务旅行者那样清晰思考。选项A“Yet they should still be careful.(然而他们仍然应该小心。)”中的“yet”表示转折,说明游客虽不像商务旅行者对思考要求那么高,但仍要小心,引出下文游客在做危险或需集中注意力的事(如开车)前要保证充足睡眠的建议。故选A。

47. 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 a beautiful day, and James, who was in his last year of college, took a flight to visit his uncle in New York. James was studying medicine and he wanted to become a doctor like his uncle. But he thought he was not good enough and still had much to learn.
While waiting at the airport lounge(候机室), James sat beside an elderly woman. At first, they were busy with their own business. The woman was knitting(织) a scarf. James was reading a medical journal, eager to increase his knowledge. After a while, the woman’s knitting needle dropped onto the floor. James, noticing this, quickly picked it up for her.
The woman smiled and said, “Thank you, young man. You’re very kind.” James replied with a warm smile, “You’re welcome.” This simple exchange broke the ice between them. They started chatting, and James learned that the woman was on her way to visit her grandchildren. She told him stories about her family and how much she missed them. James listened carefully and shared with her some of his own experiences and dream of becoming a doctor.
Before long, it was time to board the plane. James helped the woman carry her bag and find her seat. Everything went smoothly and everyone was expecting a dream journey.
As the plane reached its altitude(高度), the workers were busy serving drinks and snacks. It was quiet in the plane. James just closed his eyes, trying to get some much-needed rest.
After about one and a half hours, the flight was near New York. Suddenly, a call broke the quietness, “Is there a doctor on board? We have a passenger who is in great need of help now.”
James opened his eyes and checked what happened. Then he found that the woman he met at the airport lounge was lying in her seat. Her face was pale and it seemed that she was in great pain.
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。
However, James was undecided whether to offer help.

A few days later, James received a call from the woman.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 However, James was undecided whether to offer help. He knew he was still a student and not a fully qualified doctor. But the thought of the kind woman and her stories about her family made him determined to take action. He took a deep breath and walked towards the woman. He checked her pulse and asked some basic questions. With the knowledge he had gained from his studies, he did his best to calm her and provide initial assistance.
A few days later, James received a call from the woman. Her voice was full of gratitude and warmth. She thanked him repeatedly for his timely and courageous help on the flight. She told him that his presence and care had been a source of immense comfort during her terrifying moment. She also mentioned that she was recovering well and was looking forward to reuniting with her grandchildren soon. Hearing her words, James felt a wave of pride and fulfillment wash over him. This unexpected encounter and the opportunity to make a difference strengthened his determination to become a proficient and compassionate doctor, dedicated to helping more people in their times of need.

Justin Padgett, a fifth-grade teacher at Highland Elementary School, first met Jayden when the boy had some difficulty in doing his schoolwork. To help him, Justin spent extra time teaching Jayden in reading and social studies.
During one of their meetings, what Jayden said changed both their lives. “I have to wait to be sent to another family,” Jayden told his teacher. The young boy explained that his present foster (寄养的) parents couldn’t adopt (收养) him or his three sisters.
Justin and his wife Kasey had always wanted to have a child, but they had come to admit the fact that children might not be in their future. However, they had already begun taking classes to prepare for fostering children, and they hoped they could provide a loving home for those in need one day. Jayden’s words struck the Padgetts deeply, and they felt called to take a step forward.
The couple welcomed Jayden and his three sisters into their home fostering them with the idea of adopting. On March 3, 2022, their dream became a reality when the adoption went through all the law processes, and the Padgett family grew from two to six.
“Our lives are complete,” Justin shared in an interview. “We have put ourselves where we need to be at the right time. I feel content.”
Now, the couple hope their story will encourage others to consider fostering or taking in children in need. They believe that every child should own a loving home and a chance to grow well and healthily, and they’re eager to spread that message to others.

A. He would have no one to care for him.
B. He had to support his three sisters.
C. He had difficulty communicating with others.
D. He was treated badly by his foster parents.
5. What had the Padgetts wanted to do for a long time?

American companies are developing unmanned planes that are larger than drones (无人机). The goal is to help farmers and reduce risks to human safety.
When Hector Xu was learning to pilot a helicopter (直升机) in college with his best friend, he remembered having a few terrible experiences while flying at night. That led him to research unmanned plane systems. Then, Xu formed Rotor Technologies in 2021 to develop unmanned helicopters.
Rotor has built two unmanned helicopters that the company calls Sprayhawks. Rotor aims to have as many as 20 Sprayhawks ready for market next year. The company is also developing efficient (高效的) helicopters that would fly materials into areas struck by earthquakes. The helicopters could also be used to fight wildfires.
For now, Rotor is paying attention to farming. A major attraction of automation (自动化) in farming flights is safety. Because special airplanes fly at around 240 kph and only about 3 meters off the ground, there are tens of accidents (事故) each year. The small planes hit power lines, cell towers and other planes. Older planes in disrepair and pilot tiredness play a part in accidents.
In recent years, safety and cost concerns have led to a number of drones flying above farmers’ fields. But the size of the drones means they can only work over a small amount of the area that a plane or helicopter can. This is providing an opening for companies building bigger unmanned planes like Rotor.
Companies like Rotor have developed their systems to work even when bad events come up. Rotor’ s helicopter, for example, has a half-dozen communication systems and, for now, a pilot in control. If the ground team can’t get in touch with the helicopter, Rotor has a system to dispose of it. The system makes sure the engine can be turned off and the helicopter can perform a controlled landing.
12. What caused Hector Xu to start his company?
A. His best friend’s suffering. B. His experiences in college.
C. His interest in new technologies. D. His dream to help more farmers.
13. What can we know about Rotor?
A. It focuses not only on farming.
B. Its main product is unmanned drones.
C. Its helicopters have no pilot to control them.
D. It has already put 20 Sprayhawks on the market.
14. What is the weakness of the agricultural drone?
A. It covers a small range. B. It flies at low speed.
C. It is not easy to control. D. It results in many accidents.
15. What does the underlined part “dispose of” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Learn from. B. Depend on. C. Guard against. D. Deal with.

It was a beautiful day, and James, who was in his last year of college, took a flight to visit his uncle in New York. James was studying medicine and he wanted to become a doctor like his uncle. But he thought he was not good enough and still had much to learn.
While waiting at the airport lounge(候机室), James sat beside an elderly woman. At first, they were busy with their own business. The woman was knitting(织) a scarf. James was reading a medical journal, eager to increase his knowledge. After a while, the woman’s knitting needle dropped onto the floor. James, noticing this, quickly picked it up for her.
The woman smiled and said, “Thank you, young man. You’re very kind.” James replied with a warm smile, “You’re welcome.” This simple exchange broke the ice between them. They started chatting, and James learned that the woman was on her way to visit her grandchildren. She told him stories about her family and how much she missed them. James listened carefully and shared with her some of his own experiences and dream of becoming a doctor.
Before long, it was time to board the plane. James helped the woman carry her bag and find her seat. Everything went smoothly and everyone was expecting a dream journey.
As the plane reached its altitude(高度), the workers were busy serving drinks and snacks. It was quiet in the plane. James just closed his eyes, trying to get some much-needed rest.
After about one and a half hours, the flight was near New York. Suddenly, a call broke the quietness, “Is there a doctor on board? We have a passenger who is in great need of help now.”
James opened his eyes and checked what happened. Then he found that the woman he met at the airport lounge was lying in her seat. Her face was pale and it seemed that she was in great pain.
