B In the late 1940s,it was common to see young students practicing table tennis on a chalk- drawn table on the sidewalk at night.As a second-grader in a primary school,I began my journey with table tennis on such a table.Later,I became a player and then a coach of a national team,watching generations of players contribute to the success of table tennis. Recently,at the age of 84,I received a national honorary title.I said,"Choosing to play table tennis is a decision I totally do not regret." During times when we didn't have much,I even made my own bat ()I would buy old photo frames made of plywood from stores,and then turn them into bases of bats.I would then attach rubber(®a胶)to make a simple bat..Irecalled,“The‘clang'sound of hitting the ball with such a bat was very satisfying." I formed a team called Red Flag at school.During holidays,we played friendly matches wth ping-pong fans from nearby factories and schools.I often visited different places,where I could watch high-level players and learn from them. In a competition held in 1961,I won third place in the men's table tennis singles event.I also won the first-ever men's doubles and mixed doubles championships for our team.In 1975,I became the head coach of the women's table tennis team in my country.Under my guidance,the team always won the women's singles title in competitions. One of the outstanding athletes I discovered and trained became an extremely good table teanis player.Though she was short,she could see every ball coming her way as an opportunity.This allowed her to launch (more attacks than others.Moreover,she had a strong desire to win and trained very hard. 24.What inspired the author to begin playing table tennis?

Koala populations have dropped a lot in recent years because of wildfires and diseases.In 2022,the Australian government said that koalas are endangered in some parts of the country.To help protect them,scientists have used advanced tools like thermal imaging drones(无人驾驶飞机)and sound recorders to find koalas..The new method is cheaper and easier to use. "Some of the work in this study is really an important step,"said an ecologist.The experiment was done in an uncontrolled environment,where things like strong winds or rain could affect the results."The fact that they were still able to have some success is really encouraging,”he said. 【高一英语第5页（共10页】 28.What does the underlined word"capture"in paragraph 2 mcan?

D When you listen to people speaking a language you don't understand,it might seem like the words are flying past your ears at lightning speed. But some languages really do seem to be spoken faster than others.Even if you know a little Spanish or Japanese,watching a TV show in those languages can be difficult!There's a good reason for this-they are spoken faster!According to a 2019 study,speakers of these languages use more syllables(音节)per second. In these two languages,speakers use almost eight syllables per second.Researchers studied 17 different languages.They took 170 recordings of native speakers reading the same 20 texts translated into their language and compared the speeds.For example,Mandarin was spoken at just over five syllables per second.But this doesn't mean that conversations in Mandarin last much longer than those in Japanese.Researchers found that while languages are spoken at different speeds,the rate at which people communicate information is about the same. So how does that work?To understand more,the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts to see how much information each one carries.Some single-syllable words give us a lot of information,for example,the words“hope”or“love”in English.These words give us much more information than many single syllables that are just sounds or parts of words. Some languages are packed more densely (with information,so speakers don't need many syllables to communicate the same amount of information.The average Spanish syllable is not densely packed with information,so people speak faster.Mandarin.however. is densely packed with information,so it is spoken more slowly.This means that everyone finishes communicating at about the same timel 32.Why are Spanish and Japanese mentioned in paragraph 2? A.To state some languages are spoken quickly. 【高-英语第6页（共10而1】 B.To explain how they are developed. C.To prove why they are hard to learn. D.To stress they are popular with TV. 33.Which part is focused on in the study? A.People's identities. B Language speeds. C.Content of the text. D.Conversation time. 34.How did the researchers study the information rate in languages? A.By analyzing information on each syllable. B.By comparing sentence lengths. C.By measuring speaking speed. D.By counting words. 35.What do researchers find in the end? A.Mandarin uses more syllables than Japanese and Spanish. B.People need less time and effort to understand Spanish. C.More-syllable words mean more and better information. D.People communicate information at similar rates in different languages. 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。选项巾有两项为多余 选项。 The Internet is a useful tool that has become an important part of our daily lives.As high school students,it is important to know how to use it safely.36.
