We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. Museum of Bad Art Boston, Massachusetts The mission of Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is to collect, exhibit and celebrate art that will be shown in no other place. Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found in 1993 resting against a rubbish can, waiting for rubbish collection. This painting was the first of the MOBA collection. Museum of Motherhood St. Petersburg, Florida This museum is the first of its kind — a museum and educational center covering the art, science and history of mothers. “I watched a couple of kids try on the pregnancy vests (孕妇马甲) and then walk unsteadily (不稳定地) around,” says museum founder Martha Joy Rose. “Within five minutes, they begged to take them off.” National Comedy Center Jamestown, New York Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy (蓬松的) shirt and Joan Rivers’ card list of 65,000 jokes. Before entering, visitors create their “sense of humor file” by choosing what they find funny on a digital device they wear on a wrist so that the comedy content is tailored based on their personal taste. International Tennis Hall of Fame Newport, Rhode Island It was built in 1881 on the site of the first United States National Lawn Tennis Championships. A highlight is a Kings Court for “court tennis” dating back to 1538. It’s not so much a tennis court but an unbalanced rectangular (长方形的) room with surprising slopes (斜坡) and angles. In this ancient game, the ball can jump off the walls and windows and still be in play. Despite the high cost of about $3 million to make, visitors to the museum can rent it and play. 21. What is special about the first exhibit of MOBA? A. It is a painting about motherhood. B. It is a painting describing rubbish. C. It was abandoned before collected. D. It was donated by a famous painter. 22. Where can you experience a personalized comedy? A. Jamestown, New York. B. St. Petersburg, Florida. C. Newport, Rhode Island. D. Boston, Massachusetts. 23. What do the four museums have in common? A. They reveal modern life. B. They offer something funny. C. They exhibit ancient treasures. D. They show something unusual. B At the ninth Mobile Application Innovation Contest held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, in November, a sign language learning app named ArtfulSign (Miaoshou in Chinese) stood out as the top winner. The app is developed by three hearing-damaged students, Zhao Yuan, Wang Yueran, and Tan Chenglong from Beijing Union University to help hearing individuals learn sign language to communicate with those who have hearing loss. The most remarkable feature of ArtfulSign is its use of AI models in sign language teaching. Each sign language word is presented through real-person video examples. After learning, users can activate (激活) the camera, and the app will recognize and evaluate the accuracy of their sign language gestures. AI-powered video analysis and machine learning enable immediate interaction and response, enhancing the learning experience. Currently, there are very few researchers in China who study sign language as a natural language from a linguistic (语言学的) perspective; instead, it is often treated merely as a tool by those in the field of special education. Zhao hopes everyone can learn some basic sign language. “Whether it’s out of love and interest, a desire to help those with hearing damage, or simply for situations where speaking is difficult due to illness, sign language can be very useful,” she wrote. She and the other two team members have spent six months developing ArtfulSign and are still working to make it more user-friendly. They plan to officially launch the product on the Apple App Store next spring. “We hope that one day ArtfulSign will become as common as accessible ramps (无障碍通道), allowing both the hearing-damaged and hearing people to use sign language. Eventually, there will be fewer barriers between us,” she wrote. 24. What can we learn about the ArtfulSign? A. It enables users to learn via live classes. B. It helps hearing users learn sign language. C. It helps hearing-loss people express themselves. D. It is developed by three hearing college students. 25. What can AI do in the ArtfulSign? A. It allows instant interaction. B. It judges the learning speed. C. It enables the camera to work. D. It shows sign language words. 26. What drove the team to develop the ArtfulSign? A. To earn money. B. To compete in the contest. C. To finish their study. D. To bridge communication gap. 27. Which of the following best describes the team members? A. Patient. B. Creative. C. Curious. D. Amateur. C Want to boost your memory for tomorrow? Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. Researchers found that moving more throughout the day and getting at least six hours of sleep further enhanced mental performance. The study, published on Dec. 9 in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, builds on previous research showing exercise is good for brain health. “We know from laboratory-based studies that we get a cognitive (认知的) boost in the minutes to hours following a period of exercise,” lead study author Mikaela Bloomberg, a senior research fellow in University College London, told Health. “We wanted to see whether this benefit might last longer than a couple of hours outside of a laboratory.” To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. Researchers found an association between an additional 30 minutes of moderate-to-intense physical activity and better short-term working memory and longer-term episodic memory, which is the ability to recall specific events the next day. Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. Experts agreed that the findings aren’t surprising. “There is increasing evidence that regular physical activity can enhance cognitive abilities and potentially lower the risk of developing future dementia (痴呆),” Peter Gliebus, MD, director of cognitive and behavioral neurology (神经学) at Marcus Neuroscience Institute, Florida, told Health. “This research strengthens existing evidence that regular physical activity is essential for ideal brain function.” 28. What does the new study focus on? A. The mental health of older adults. B. The effect of exercise on memory. C. The problems of previous research. D. The link between sleep and memory. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Process of the study. B. Subjects of the study. C. Limitations of the study. D. Application of the study. 30. What can we learn from the findings of the new study? A. Regular exercise can avoid future dementia. B. Light exercise improves short-term memory. C. Not all exercise leads to better memory the next day. D. Lacking sleep has no effect on memory the next day. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A Sharpening your brain via light exercise. B. Exercising your way to a better memory. C. Boosting your memory with a good sleep. D. Preparing your mind for tomorrow’s tests. D If you want to live elsewhere in the solar system, Mars is the least-bad choice. These days, the planet is a very cold, poison-filled desert. But as the dry river valleys that cross its surface suggest things were balmy enough in the past to allow liquid water. A paper published this week in Science Advances offers a method to restore Mars to that warmer state by “terraforming” it — changing the planet’s climate to make it friendly to people on Earth. Samaneh Ansari, a graduate student at Northwestern University, in Illinois, and her workmates estimate that pumping (泵) engineered dust into the atmosphere could warm Mars to the point where much of the water ice that lies beneath its surface would melt (融化) , at least in the summer of Mars. The dust would be made of tiny metallic sticks each around nine millionths of a metre long. That size is carefully chosen to ensure that the dust reflects heat, which would otherwise escape to space, back down to the planet’s surface. Climate models suggest that pumping 30 litres of the dust per second into the atmosphere could boost the average temperature by 30°C or more within decades. That is a fair amount of dust. But it represents a big improvement on the state of the art. Another paper, published in 2005, investigated chlorofluorocarbons, a class of effective greenhouse gases, and concluded that hundreds of millions of tonnes would be required. Ms Ansari estimates that, in mass terms, her method is around 5, 000 times more efficient. “And the paper is just a proof of concept, with plenty of room to make things more efficient still,” says Edwin Kite, a planetary scientist at the University of Chicago and one of its authors. “As planets go, Mars is certainly a house in need of repair. But the repair might be a bit easier than you think,” he added. 32. What does the underlined word “balmy” in Paragraph 1 mean? A Light. B. Dark. C. Warm. D. Cold. 33. What is the function of the dust? A. Reflecting heat back to Mars. B. Helping heat escape to space. C. Warming up the earth’s surface. D. Keeping greenhouse gases in Mars. 34. Why does the author mention the paper published in 2005? A. To stress the large quantities of dust required. B. To prove the effect of the greenhouse-gas method. C. To explain the working principle of the new method. D. To show the advancement of the dust-pumping method. 35. What is Edwin Kite’s attitude towards the possibility of living on Mars? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Indifferent. 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。 I’ve been to 32 countries, so I’m fully aware of how stressful and tiring travel can be.

The air is filled with the sounds of the carousel: the cheerful music, the rhythmic spinning (旋转) , and the laughter of children. They’re all reaching for rings from the dispenser (自动售货机) as they spin past, each hoping to catch the gold ring. That’s the one I’m after too. Every ride, a single gold ring appears, and whoever grabs it wins a ticket for a free, giant ice-cream. Silver rings just mean another ride, but I’m set on the gold. Spotting my friend Alice across the crowd, I pull Mom by the sleeve. “Look, Mama,” I say, pointing. “Can I go and say hello?” Mama nods, saying “Go ahead, Grace.” I take off through the crowd. Alice is watching the carousel, her eyes fixed on the spinning horses. “Are you going to ride?” I ask. She shakes her head. “Papa doesn’t bring any coins today.” Feeling the weight of my two coins, I know Mama won’t mind if I share. “Do you want to ride with me?” I offer, holding up the coins. Her smile is all the answer I need. “I’m going to share my coins with Alice,” I whisper to Mama as we make our way toward the carousel. Mama’s smile tells me I made the right choice. I hand my coin to the worker and Alice gives him my other coin. “Which one do you want to ride?” asks Alice. I think she wants me to pick first since I’m the one who paid. A blue horse with a chipped nose catches my eye. “This one,” I say proudly, climbing on and grasping the pole tightly. Alice looks around me quickly and picks the one right behind me. As we spin, the music slows, signaling the end of the ride. I have one more chance for the gold ring. And there it is, sliding down the dispenser. I stretch out my hand, but it slips through my fingers. Maybe next time. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Behind me, Alice starts shouting with excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Grace!

See you tomorrow and we’ll talk about a best-selling novel. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What is Tim mainly talking about? A. The health conditions of him and Sam. B. The development of his musical talent. C. The experiences of being twin brothers. 18. When was Tim born? A. In January. B. In October. C. In December. 19. What is probably the physical difference between the twins? A. The hair. B. The build. C. The voice. 20. What can we learn about Tim? A. He is less confident than Sam. B. He is not interested in going out. C. He is going to put out Soul Brothers. 【答案】17. C 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: Hi there. I’m Tim Tanner. I am honored to be here today. I’ve appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it’s like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I’m the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who’s a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken’s birthday is in December, so we’re pretty close in age. Sam and I aren’t completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there’s hardly any difference in our hair, and we’ re the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he’ll know which one it is. In character we’re mostly similar — we’ve both always loved music, and we’ve always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I’m not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true. We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We’ve poured our hearts into it, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your support. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Yes! There is a museum for that! Museums have changed. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone. Museum of Bad Art Boston, Massachusetts The mission of Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is to collect, exhibit and celebrate art that will be shown in no other place. Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found in 1993 resting against a rubbish can, waiting for rubbish collection. This painting was the first of the MOBA collection. Museum of Motherhood St. Petersburg, Florida This museum is the first of its kind — a museum and educational center covering the art, science and history of mothers. “I watched a couple of kids try on the pregnancy vests (孕妇马甲) and then walk unsteadily (不稳定地) around,” says museum founder Martha Joy Rose. “Within five minutes, they begged to take them off.” National Comedy Center Jamestown, New York Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy (蓬松的) shirt and Joan Rivers’ card list of 65,000 jokes. Before entering, visitors create their “sense of humor file” by choosing what they find funny on a digital device they wear on a wrist so that the comedy content is tailored based on their personal taste. International Tennis Hall of Fame Newport, Rhode Island It was built in 1881 on the site of the first United States National Lawn Tennis Championships. A highlight is a Kings Court for “court tennis” dating back to 1538. It’s not so much a tennis court but an unbalanced rectangular (长方形的) room with surprising slopes (斜坡) and angles. In this ancient game, the ball can jump off the walls and windows and still be in play. Despite the high cost of about $3 million to make, visitors to the museum can rent it and play. 21. What is special about the first exhibit of MOBA? A. It is a painting about motherhood. B. It is a painting describing rubbish. C. It was abandoned before collected. D. It was donated by a famous painter. 22. Where can you experience a personalized comedy? A. Jamestown, New York. B. St. Petersburg, Florida. C. Newport, Rhode Island. D. Boston, Massachusetts. 23. What do the four museums have in common? A. They reveal modern life. B. They offer something funny. C. They exhibit ancient treasures. D. They show something unusual. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国四所特殊的博物馆。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Museum of Bad Art部分中“Highlights include Lucy in the Field with Flowers, a painting found in 1993 resting against a rubbish can, waiting for rubbish collection. This painting was the first of the MOBA collection. (其中最引人注目的是1993年被发现的一幅画《花丛中的露西》，这幅画被放置在一个垃圾桶旁，等待垃圾收集。这幅画是MOBA收藏的第一幅)”可知，MOBA第一件展品的特别之处在于，它在被收藏之前是被遗弃的。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据National Comedy Center部分中“Jamestown, New York (纽约詹姆斯敦)”和“Before entering, visitors create their “sense of humor file” by choosing what they find funny on a digital device they wear on a wrist so that the comedy content is tailored based on their personal taste.

(这个博物馆是第一个这样的博物馆和教育中心，涵盖了母亲的艺术、科学和历史)”、National Comedy Center部分中“Based in Lucille Ball’s hometown, this museum features exhibits such as Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy (蓬松的) shirt and Joan Rivers’ card list of 65,000 jokes. (这家博物馆位于Lucille Ball的家乡，展品包括Jerry Seinfeld的蓬松衬衫和Joan Rivers的65000个笑话的卡片清单)”和International Tennis Hall of Fame部分中“A highlight is a Kings Court for “court tennis” dating back to 1538. It’s not so much a tennis court but an unbalanced rectangular (长方形的) room with surprising slopes (斜坡) and angles. (一个亮点是可以追溯到1538年的“球场网球”国王球场。与其说它是一个网球场，不如说它是一个不平衡的矩形房间，有着令人惊讶的斜坡和角度)”可知，这四个博物馆的共同点是它们都展示了一些不寻常的东西。故选D项。 B At the ninth Mobile Application Innovation Contest held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, in November, a sign language learning app named ArtfulSign (Miaoshou in Chinese) stood out as the top winner. The app is developed by three hearing-damaged students, Zhao Yuan, Wang Yueran, and Tan Chenglong from Beijing Union University to help hearing individuals learn sign language to communicate with those who have hearing loss. The most remarkable feature of ArtfulSign is its use of AI models in sign language teaching. Each sign language word is presented through real-person video examples. After learning, users can activate (激活) the camera, and the app will recognize and evaluate the accuracy of their sign language gestures. AI-powered video analysis and machine learning enable immediate interaction and response, enhancing the learning experience. Currently, there are very few researchers in China who study sign language as a natural language from a linguistic (语言学的) perspective; instead, it is often treated merely as a tool by those in the field of special education. Zhao hopes everyone can learn some basic sign language. “Whether it’s out of love and interest, a desire to help those with hearing damage, or simply for situations where speaking is difficult due to illness, sign language can be very useful,” she wrote. She and the other two team members have spent six months developing ArtfulSign and are still working to make it more user-friendly. They plan to officially launch the product on the Apple App Store next spring. “We hope that one day ArtfulSign will become as common as accessible ramps (无障碍通道), allowing both the hearing-damaged and hearing people to use sign language. Eventually, there will be fewer barriers between us,” she wrote. 24. What can we learn about the ArtfulSign? A. It enables users to learn via live classes. B. It helps hearing users learn sign language. C. It helps hearing-loss people express themselves. D. It is developed by three hearing college students. 25. What can AI do in the ArtfulSign? A. It allows instant interaction. B. It judges the learning speed. C. It enables the camera to work. D. It shows sign language words. 26. What drove the team to develop the ArtfulSign? A. To earn money. B. To compete in the contest. C. To finish their study. D. To bridge communication gap. 27. Which of the following best describes the team members? A. Patient. B. Creative. C. Curious. D. Amateur. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了三名听力受损学生开发的名为ArtfulSign的手语学习应用程序在移动应用创新大赛中脱颖而出，该应用利用人工智能模型进行手语教学，旨在帮助听力正常的人学习手语，与听力受损者沟通。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The app is developed by three hearing-damaged students, Zhao Yuan, Wang Yueran, and Tan Chenglong from Beijing Union University to help hearing individuals learn sign language to communicate with those who have hearing loss. (这款应用是由北京联合大学的三名听力受损学生赵源、王玥然和谭成龙开发的，旨在帮助听力正常的人学习手语，以便与听力受损的人交流)”可知，这款应用可以帮助听力正常的人学习手语。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“AI-powered video analysis and machine learning enable immediate interaction and response, enhancing the learning experience. (人工智能视频分析和机器学习可以实现即时交互和响应，增强学习体验)”可知，在这款应用中，人工智能可以实现即时互动。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中开发者所说的话“We hope that one day ArtfulSign will become as common as accessible ramps (无障碍通道), allowing both the hearing-damaged and hearing people to use sign language. Eventually, there will be fewer barriers between us (我们希望有一天，ArtfulSign能像无障碍坡道一样普及，让听力受损的人和听力正常的人都能使用手语。最终，我们之间的障碍会更少)”可知，这个团队开发ArtfulSign是为了弥合听力正常和听力受损人群之间的沟通障碍。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The app is developed by three hearing-damaged students, Zhao Yuan, Wang Yueran, and Tan Chenglong from Beijing Union University to help hearing individuals learn sign language to communicate with those who have hearing loss. (这款应用是由北京联合大学的三名听力受损学生赵源、王玥然和谭成龙开发的，旨在帮助听力正常的人学习手语，以便与听力受损的人交流)”和第二段中“The most remarkable feature of ArtfulSign is its use of AI models in sign language teaching. (ArtfulSign最显著的特点是在手语教学中使用人工智能模型)”可知，这三名学生开发出利用人工智能进行手语教学的应用程序，帮助听力正常的人学习手语，这体现了他们的创造力。故选B项。 C Want to boost your memory for tomorrow? Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. Researchers found that moving more throughout the day and getting at least six hours of sleep further enhanced mental performance. The study, published on Dec. 9 in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, builds on previous research showing exercise is good for brain health. “We know from laboratory-based studies that we get a cognitive (认知的) boost in the minutes to hours following a period of exercise,” lead study author Mikaela Bloomberg, a senior research fellow in University College London, told Health. “We wanted to see whether this benefit might last longer than a couple of hours outside of a laboratory.” To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. Researchers found an association between an additional 30 minutes of moderate-to-intense physical activity and better short-term working memory and longer-term episodic memory, which is the ability to recall specific events the next day. Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. Experts agreed that the findings aren’t surprising. “There is increasing evidence that regular physical activity can enhance cognitive abilities and potentially lower the risk of developing future dementia (痴呆),” Peter Gliebus, MD, director of cognitive and behavioral neurology (神经学) at Marcus Neuroscience Institute, Florida, told Health. “This research strengthens existing evidence that regular physical activity is essential for ideal brain function.” 28. What does the new study focus on? A. The mental health of older adults. B. The effect of exercise on memory. C. The problems of previous research. D. The link between sleep and memory. 29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Process of the study. B. Subjects of the study. C. Limitations of the study. D. Application of the study. 30. What can we learn from the findings of the new study? A. Regular exercise can avoid future dementia. B. Light exercise improves short-term memory. C. Not all exercise leads to better memory the next day. D. Lacking sleep has no effect on memory the next day. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Sharpening your brain via light exercise. B. Exercising your way to a better memory. C. Boosting your memory with a good sleep. D. Preparing your mind for tomorrow’s tests. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现高强度体力活动可以提高第二天的记忆力，介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. (至少这是一项新研究得出的结论，这项研究发现，在某一天比平时进行更多中高强度体力活动的老年人在第二天的记忆测试中表现更好。)”可知，这项新研究的重点是运动对记忆的影响。故选B。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To examine the link between exercise and memory, researchers selected 76 cognitively healthy adults from the United Kingdom aged 50 to 83. The participants wore trackers on their wrists for eight days to monitor physical activity and sleep. They also took memory-focused tests daily. (为了研究运动和记忆之间的联系，研究人员从英国挑选了76名年龄在50岁到83岁之间认知健康的成年人。参与者在手腕上佩戴追踪器8天，监测他们的身体活动和睡眠。他们还每天进行以记忆为重点的测试。)”可知，第三段的主要内容是研究过程。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Light exercise, such as taking the stairs or walking, did not affect memory the next day. (轻度运动，如爬楼梯或散步，不会影响第二天的记忆。)”可知，不是所有的锻炼都能提高第二天的记忆力。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Want to boost your memory for tomorrow? Get in a workout today. At least that’s the takeaway from a new study finding that older adults who did more moderate-to-intense (中到高强度的) physical activity than usual on a given day did better in memory tests the day after. (想提高你明天的记忆力吗？今天就开始锻炼。至少这是一项新研究得出的结论。这项研究发现，在某一天比平时进行更多中高强度体力活动的老年人在第二天的记忆测试中表现更好。)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现高强度体力活动可以提高第二天的记忆力，介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。可知，B选项“通过锻炼来提高记忆力。”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D If you want to live elsewhere in the solar system, Mars is the least-bad choice. These days, the planet is a very cold, poison-filled desert. But as the dry river valleys that cross its surface suggest things were balmy enough in the past to allow liquid water. A paper published this week in Science Advances offers a method to restore Mars to that warmer state by “terraforming” it — changing the planet’s climate to make it friendly to people on Earth. Samaneh Ansari, a graduate student at Northwestern University, in Illinois, and her workmates estimate that pumping (泵) engineered dust into the atmosphere could warm Mars to the point where much of the water ice that lies beneath its surface would melt (融化) , at least in the summer of Mars. The dust would be made of tiny metallic sticks each around nine millionths of a metre long. That size is carefully chosen to ensure that the dust reflects heat, which would otherwise escape to space, back down to the planet’s surface. Climate models suggest that pumping 30 litres of the dust per second into the atmosphere could boost the average temperature by 30°C or more within decades. That is a fair amount of dust. But it represents a big improvement on the state of the art. Another paper, published in 2005, investigated chlorofluorocarbons, a class of effective greenhouse gases, and concluded that hundreds of millions of tonnes would be required. Ms Ansari estimates that, in mass terms, her method is around 5, 000 times more efficient. “And the paper is just a proof of concept, with plenty of room to make things more efficient still,” says Edwin Kite, a planetary scientist at the University of Chicago and one of its authors. “As planets go, Mars is certainly a house in need of repair. But the repair might be a bit easier than you think,” he added. 32. What does the underlined word “balmy” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Light. B. Dark. C. Warm. D. Cold. 33. What is the function of the dust? A. Reflecting heat back to Mars. B. Helping heat escape to space. C. Warming up the earth’s surface. D. Keeping greenhouse gases in Mars. 34. Why does the author mention the paper published in 2005? A. To stress the large quantities of dust required. B. To prove the effect of the greenhouse-gas method. C. To explain the working principle of the new method. D. To show the advancement of the dust-pumping method. 35. What is Edwin Kite’s attitude towards the possibility of living on Mars? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Indifferent. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了改造火星使其变温暖方法。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“in the past to allow liquid water (过去能够存在液态水)”可知，过去火星的气候条件足够温暖以允许液态水的存在。因此“balmy”与选项C含义相似，意为“温暖的”。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“That size is carefully chosen to ensure that the dust reflects heat, which would otherwise escape to space, back down to the planet’s surface. (这个尺寸是精心选择的，以确保尘埃能将热量反射回火星表面，否则这些热量会逃逸到太空)”可知，尘埃的功能是将热量反射回火星。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But it represents a big improvement on the state of the art. Another paper, published in 2005, investigated chlorofluorocarbons, a class of effective greenhouse gases, and concluded that hundreds of millions of tonnes would be required. Ms Ansari estimates that, in mass terms, her method is around 5, 000 times more efficient. (但这代表了对现有技术的重大改进。另一篇发表于2005年的论文研究了氯氟烃这种有效的温室气体，得出的结论是需要数亿吨。Ansari女士估计，从质量上来看，她的方法效率大约要高出5000倍)”可知，作者提到2005年发表的论文是为了显示扬尘方法的先进。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““As planets go, Mars is certainly a house in need of repair. But the repair might be a bit easier than you think,” he added. (就行星而言，火星肯定是一栋需要修理的房子。但修理起来可能比你想的要容易一些，”他补充道)”可知，Edwin Kite对在火星上生活的可能性持积极态度。故选B。 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。 I’ve been to 32 countries, so I’m fully aware of how stressful and tiring travel can be.

The air is filled with the sounds of the carousel: the cheerful music, the rhythmic spinning (旋转) , and the laughter of children. They’re all reaching for rings from the dispenser (自动售货机) as they spin past, each hoping to catch the gold ring. That’s the one I’m after too. Every ride, a single gold ring appears, and whoever grabs it wins a ticket for a free, giant ice-cream. Silver rings just mean another ride, but I’m set on the gold. Spotting my friend Alice across the crowd, I pull Mom by the sleeve. “Look, Mama,” I say, pointing. “Can I go and say hello?” Mama nods, saying “Go ahead, Grace.” I take off through the crowd. Alice is watching the carousel, her eyes fixed on the spinning horses. “Are you going to ride?” I ask. She shakes her head. “Papa doesn’t bring any coins today.” Feeling the weight of my two coins, I know Mama won’t mind if I share. “Do you want to ride with me?” I offer, holding up the coins. Her smile is all the answer I need. “I’m going to share my coins with Alice,” I whisper to Mama as we make our way toward the carousel. Mama’s smile tells me I made the right choice. I hand my coin to the worker and Alice gives him my other coin. “Which one do you want to ride?” asks Alice. I think she wants me to pick first since I’m the one who paid. A blue horse with a chipped nose catches my eye. “This one,” I say proudly, climbing on and grasping the pole tightly. Alice looks around me quickly and picks the one right behind me. As we spin, the music slows, signaling the end of the ride. I have one more chance for the gold ring. And there it is, sliding down the dispenser. I stretch out my hand, but it slips through my fingers. Maybe next time. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Behind me, Alice starts shouting with excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Grace!

Looking back, I see her holding up the gold ring high, her face brightened up with joy. “That’s amazing, Alice!” I exclaim, with a wide grin spreading across my face, though a touch of disappointment flashes through my mind. We climb down from Carousel. I run to my mom while Alice can’t wait to get her giant ice cream. Mama sensitively perceives the little upset on my face, gently comforting me, “Maybe next time.” “Gracie! Let’s share it!” she shouts, holding up the ice-cream. Hearing her words, I smile, my eyes twinkling with joy. I look at Mama who smiles back and nods. I run with Alice to a bench. We eat the ice cream, talking about how lucky we are. After a while, Mama reminds me it is time to go home. “Thanks for the ice cream,” I say to Alice. “Thanks for your coin,” she responds. It is at that moment that we both enjoy the happiness of sharing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Grace在游乐场用自己的硬币与朋友Alice分享旋转木马的快乐经历，因获得不同奖品而产生的情绪波动，但在Alice赢得冰淇淋后主动分享喜悦，并获得友谊的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在我身后，爱丽丝开始兴奋地大喊。”可知，第一段可描写Alice获得金戒指的兴奋，以及Gracie既高兴又失望的情绪变化。 ②由第二段首句内容““Grace！我们一起来分享它吧！”她喊道，举起了冰淇淋。”可知，第二段可描写Alice主动与Grace一起分享冰淇淋和彼此的陪伴。 2.续写线索：Alice获金戒指 — Gracie既高兴又失望 — Alice提出分享冰淇淋 — 共同享受冰淇淋 — 加深友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：shout/ exclaim/ call out ②举高：hold up/ lift up/ raise up ③跑向：run to/ hurry to/ speed towards 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/ happiness/ delight ②失望：disappointment/ discontent/ sadness 【点睛】【高分句型1】After a while, Mama reminds me it is time to go home.
