B When you've reached the top of your game,where can you go next?It's a question that troubles the main character of Taylor Jenkins Reid's latest novel,the 1990s-set tennis drama Carrie Soto Is Back, coming August 30. Carrie,37,steps out of retirement to reclaim the record that made her a legend,just tied by a young player.With 20 Grand Slams (to her name,she's desperate to live up to the reputation for dominance she once believed was beyond doubt but now feels slipping away,forcing her to reconsider if she's expecting too much of herself in an attempt to prove her worth to the world. Reid,38,knows these feelings well.She's been working for a decade,producing book after book, the last three of which,part of a quartet (about famous women,have finally made the author a household name.Carrie Soto is the final book of the bundle. Each of the books centres an aggressive character managing the tensions between her charming life in the public eye and the pressures she feels in private.And each captures a specific time and place,with Reid skilfully collecting small yet meaningful details to help build immersive(身临其境的)worlds.For Carrie Soto,that meant learning about a sport she had barely ever watched,let alone played;reading on game strategy and technique;studying different playing styles and court surfaces;and watching old matches,absorbing the language of commentators. Reid brings this intensity to all her eight books in the last nine years.But now that her quartet is finished,Reid is determined to rest.It's fitting,then,that the author decided to end the quartet with a story about a woman struggling with her constant pursuit of success-and finally realizing it might just be too much."This isn't really a story about whether Carrie can win a Slam,"she says."It's about whether she can stop climbing mountains." 高二英语·第3页·共8页 24.Which of the following can best describe Carrie before she retired?

A.The leading character of the novel. B.The pressure Carrie faces. C.The efforts Reid put into writing. D.The details of the story's background. 27.What is the purpose of this passage? A.To tell a tennis player's story. B.To call attention to famous women. C.To introduce a newly written book. D.To argue for less success addiction.

D Del Vecchio,an Italian entrepreneur who died in 2022,built Luxottica into the world's largest maker of spectacles (and sunglasses.In 2018 he integrated his firm with Essilor,a French lens manufacturer,to create a Franco-Italian corporate()giant. Now Francesco Milleri,who was appointed chief executive of Luxottica in 2017,is looking for the company's next act.He has two big ideas.First is to become the leader in smart glasses.The ambition is not entirely new:the firm partnered with Google on its Google Glass-an unambiguous failure thanks in part to its awkward interface and foolish design.The device was discontinued in 2015. Essilor Luxottica's latest attempt at the technology is through Ray-Ban.The first version had only modest success.It hopes that a new version,which has a trendier camera and a longer battery life,will do better.The device can capture and relay what the wearer sees.An in-built virtual assistant can hear and respond to their requests. Mr.Milleri's second idea is to develop spectacles with built-in hearing aids,which it will launch in August,for those with moderate hearing loss.The company's spectacles will look no different from other glasses and cost well below the price of a regular hearing aid,says Mr.Milleri. The thinking is not altogether original.The Beltone "Hear-N-See",one such device,first debuted in 1956.But the idea has never been adopted widely.Mr.Milleri is counting on better technology to change that.It detects where sounds are coming from based on when they are picked up by different microphones.The spectacles then isolate and process the voice of the person the wearer is speaking to and transmit it through tiny built-in speakers. Mr.Milleri's quest for the concept is personal.Mr.Del Vecchio,who was 87 when he died, suffered from hearing loss and often regretted that hearing aids were uncomfortable to wear with glasses. That inspired Mr.Milleri to pursue the idea.Whether he proves to be far-sighted remains to be seen. 32.What is Essilor Luxottica according to the passage? A.It is a partner of Google. B.It is a branch of Luxottica. C.It is a French lens manufacturer. D.It is a cross-border corporate giant. 33.How is Essilor Luxottica's latest attempt? A.Improved and interactive. B.Stylish and water-proof. C.Original and light-weight. D.Sensitive and shock-resistant 34.Which of the following parts is from Milleri's second idea? A.Removable hearing aids. B.Isolated tiny speakers. C.Sound-detecting microphones. D.Separate voice processors. 35.What would be a suitable title of the passage? A.Strategic Heritage:Luxottica's Journey into Smart Eyewear B.Luxottica's Next Chapter:From Visual Spectacles to Beyond C.Francesco Milleri:Far-sighted Chief Executive of Luxottica D.Francesco Milleri's Vision:Passing down Luxottica's Legacy 高二英语·第5页·共8页 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人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever longed for a simpler and more effective way to study?36 Named after a Nobel prize-winner in physics famous for explaining complex ideas,this method can help you unlock your potential and gain a deep understanding of various topics.

We were waiting for the very occasion until my father was gone.

I knew those sweaters.Whenever I was stuck for an idea of what to buy my dad for his birthday or Christmas,I'd fall back on one of two items that always seemed to go down well;a sweater or a bottle of whiskey.My dad had been a maker of sweaters for all his life.It felt only right and proper that he deserved some nice sweaters in his late years.My dad also claimed to enjoy a nice drop of whiskey.Over the years,he'd collect several bottles from clients and suppliers in the run-up to Christmas.So.when illness brought his career to a premature end,it seemed only natural that I became his regular whiskey supplier. The trouble was,I never saw him wearing any of those sweaters,and I never saw him enjoying a whiskey.I often asked him why.His answer was always the same,"I'm saving them for a special occasion." I returned downstairs and went to what was known in the family as "Dad's Cupboard"and there was every bottle of whiskey I'd ever bought him.All unopened. 注意：(1)续写次数应为150左右： (2)开头已给出。 A wave of mixed emotions swept over me.
