During a break in practice，Lino discovered that his smartphone was dead and he didn’t have a charger.His mind wandered back to a lesson in school on kinetic energy，a kind of energy produced by an object in motion.Lino thought，“What if I could make use of the energy wasted on the field to power the phone？” That moment led Lino to invent the Kinetic Kickz 2.0.It’s something like a rechargeable battery that fits into the sole(鞋底) of a shoe，collecting energy produced from walking.The energy can then be used to power portable devices.Lino calculates that 12 minutes of walking can generate enough kinetic energy to charge 10% of a cellphone battery. A device like this could change everyday life for many people.All around the world，there are people who don’t have access to electricity.Being able to even light up a little lightbulb on their ceiling would make a big difference.He dreamed that the technology could be used to create clean energy and limit the effects of climate change. Lino came up with his first invention when he was in fourth grade.He invented the String Ring，an adjustable band that protects the fingers as they move along the strings of a cello.It won first place in a state competition.Now Lino’s developing one for guitar players. “It’s usually been about helping other people，for me，” Lino says about inventing.The ninth grader encourages others to see their everyday problems as opportunities to come up with ideas for inventions，too.“Kids are better inventors than grown­ups at times，because they can be more creative，” Lino says.“I just want to inspire more people to become inventors and help change the world.” 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了来自得克萨斯州弗里斯科的14岁男孩利诺·马雷罗发明Kinetic Kickz 2.0的过程。 24．What motivated Lino to invent Kinetic Kickz 2.0? A．His everyday practice on the soccer field. B．His concerns for the environmental protection. C．The helplessness when his phone was out of power. D．The knowledge he learned during his physics lessons. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。由第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知，是Lino训练间隙时手机没电了，又没带充电器，那个场景下促使他发明了Kinetic Kickz 2.0。故选C。 25．What does the Kinetic Kickz 2.0 do? A．It changes people’s thought of fashion. B．It promotes the performance of batteries. C．It has completely changed people’s life. D．It could store the energy generated from moving. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。由第三段中的“It’s something like a rechargeable battery that fits into the sole(鞋底) of a shoe，collecting energy produced from walking.”可知，Kinetic Kickz 2.0可以收集行走产生的能量。故选D。 26．Which of the following best describes Lino? A．Responsible and creative. B．Devoted and ambitious. C．Demanding and cooperative. D．Optimistic and generous. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“It’s usually been about helping other people，for me”和他的各种发明可知，他是一个有责任心和有创造力的人。故选A。 27．What does the text intend to do? A．Present a new technology. B．Tell a story of an inventive boy. C．Introduce an energy­gathering device. D．Explain the way to become an inventor. 答案　B 解析　写作意图题。文章第一段提出来自得克萨斯州弗里斯科的14岁男孩利诺·马雷罗灵感迸发时正在足球场上，然后详细介绍了他发明Kinetic Kickz 2.0的过程。由此可知，本文主要讲述了一个有创造力的男孩的故事。故选B。 C Most people find sugar hard to resist.Our big brains need lots of energy and sugary foods provide plenty of it.But when calories are too readily available，it is easy to overdo it. There has been no shortage of research on sugar substitutes that trigger a sweet sensation without the calories，but these alternatives also taste slightly bitter for many people.What’s more，evidence from animal and human studies has linked some to glucose intolerance and weight gain. One promising alternative is found in the fruit of Synsepalum dulcificum(神秘果)，a plant native to West Africa.These miracle berries don’t taste sugary themselves，but if you try something sour afterward，it will taste miraculously sweet.In Benin，the fruit is eaten fresh and is mostly used as a sweetener to have with sour foods and drinks.The berry is appreciated by local consumers，especially the kids and people with diabetes who use it as a substitute for synthetic sugar. The chemical，a protein named miraculin(神秘果素)，was identified in 1968 and a team in Japan discovered how it works in 2011.At neutral pH，miraculin is an antagonist to our sweet taste receptors，meaning it blocks the taste of sweetness.But in the presence of an acid，miraculin changes shape and is able to activate the receptors. Despite the miracle berry’s promise as a sugar substitute，it is only produced on a smallish scale and isn’t available worldwide.The berries don’t travel well and the plant is slow to grow and mature. To create an alternative source of miraculin，researchers in Japan have genetically engineered tomatoes to produce the protein，while another team is working on increasing the production of miracle berries in West Africa.Earlier 2022，a team in China published the genome of Synsepalum dulcificum.A Spanish start­up plans to promote sustainable cultivation of the plant in Ghana and market the dried berries as a food supplement. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种神秘果可以让酸的食物尝起来很甜，介绍了其原理以及这种水果的生长习性等情况。 28．What is special about Synsepalum dulcificum as a sugar alternative? A．It contains many calories itself. B．It makes sour food taste sweet. C．It will gain weight and cause disease. D．It does good to kids and diabetic patients. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These miracle berries don’t taste sugary themselves，but if you try something sour afterward，it will taste miraculously sweet.”可知，神秘果作为糖的替代品其特别之处是它使酸的食物尝起来甜。故选B。 29．How do the miracle berries work on sour food? A．By changing the pH of a food. B．By increasing its sugar content. C．By producing shape­variable miraculin. D．By weakening the sweet taste receptors. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“But in the presence of an acid，miraculin changes shape and is able to activate the receptors.”可知，这种神秘果通过产生形状可变的神秘果素来作用于酸味食物。故选C。 30．What does the underlined word “antagonist” probably mean in paragraph 4? A．Enemy. B．Assistant. C．Trigger. D．Receiver. 答案　A 解析　词义猜测题。根据后文“这意味着它会阻止甜味”可知，在中性pH值下，神秘果素应是甜味感受器的敌人，画线词意思是“敌人”。故选A。 31．Why are the miracle berries hard to get? A．They are only locally available. B．They cannot be grown elsewhere. C．It is expensive to transport them. D．It takes long to harvest a small amount. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，神秘果很难买到是因为收获量少且成长缓慢。故选D。 D New research has shown that a fungus(真菌) skin could provide a new alternative to some plastics used in computer chips，making them easier to recycle.The researchers were working on new materials to replace plastics，when they made the discovery. At the time，a member of the team had been looking at using fungus materials for use in other areas.This work led to the latest study，which shows how Ganoderma lucidum(灵芝) skin could work as an alternative. The team discovered that Ganoderma lucidum，which grows on rotten hardwood trees，forms a skin to protect its growth medium (the wood)．“It does so in order to protect itself，” Kaltenbrunner，one of the researchers，said，explaining that the team were able to get this protection by removing the skin and drying it.The skin is slightly less insulating(绝缘的) than plastics，but it still works safely and successfully，with a thickness similar to paper and the ability to stand temperatures over 200℃. The skin has many qualities that make it different from other materials.Kaltenbrunner said，“But most importantly，it can grow in waste wood and does not need too much energy.” “The skin is very proper because it can last a long time if kept dry，but in just a standard family compost，it would break down entirely within two weeks or less，” he added. While the team’s work is experimental and a long way from being brought into use，they believe the skin could be a new alternative material for use in electronics.“There are large amounts of waste wood，” Kaltenbrunner said，“which is a lot of food for Ganoderma lucidum.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种真菌的表皮能用来制作电脑芯片。 32．What is an advantage of the fungus skin? A．It is thicker than plastics. B．It can stand low temperatures. C．It is environmentally friendly. D．It can keep wet for a long time. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“New research has shown that a fungus(真菌) skin could provide a new alternative to some plastics used in computer chips，making them easier to recycle.”以及第四段最后一句可知，真菌表皮是环保的。故选C。 33．What is the researchers’ attitude to the future of the fungus skin? A．Uncertain. B．Unfriendly. C．Flexible. D．Positive. 答案　D 解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段首句“While the team’s work is experimental and a long way from being brought into use，they believe the skin could be a new alternative material for use in electronics.”可知，研究人员对于真菌表皮的未来持乐观态度。故选D。 34．In which section of a newspaper can you read the text? A．Geography. B．Science. C．Fashion. D．Culture. 答案　B 解析　文章出处题。根据第一段内容以及下文对真菌表皮特点的介绍可知，本文是科普类的说明文，所以我们可以在报纸的科学版块读到它。故选B。 35．What may be the best title for the text? A．An Alternative to Plastics B．A New Use of a Fungus Skin C．The Introduction to Funguses D．The Function of Fungus Materials 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。根据第一段第一句可知，研究发现真菌表皮的一种新用途：制作电脑芯片，并在下文中对这种真菌的特征进行介绍，所以B项“一种真菌表皮的新用途”能够概括文章主题。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。 How to Control Weeds When Planting No matter what you choose to grow in the garden，at some point，you will have to deal with unwanted plants，known as weeds. 36 Even a tomato plant can become a weed if it grows where you don’t want it to. 37 Weeds can bring many problems.They steal nutrients and water.Weeds can also bring harmful bugs and diseases into your garden.Some weeds release chemicals that can slow the growth of nearby plants. It is important to note that some weeds are not all bad.In fact，you can eat them.Dandelions(蒲公英) are also viewed as a weed by many people. 38 And you can eat or use nearly every part of the plant.But even other weeds can do good things in our garden.The roots of weeds can prevent the soil from being blown away by wind or washed away by rain. However，left to grow on their own，weeds can take over a garden.To slow the growth of weeds，add a layer of weed­free，organic material to the top of your garden，around the plants. 39 A simple and effective method of weed control is to break up the surface layer of the soil.But you must do this regularly.Do not turn the soil over. 40 If you turn the soil over，you give those seeds the light and air they need to grow.Probably the best way to fight some weeds is to eat them! Just make sure they are，in fact，eatable. A．But their leaves are also full of nutrients. B．This makes it difficult to reshape a garden. C．A weed is just a plant growing in the wrong place. D．This improves the soil and keeps weeds from growing. E．Besides being unwanted，what else do weeds do to a garden? F．Buried in the soil are weed seeds，waiting for the right conditions. G．So，before we hurry outside to kill all the weeds，consider their good side. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述控制杂草的方法。 36．答案　C 解析　上文指出文章的主题——杂草。根据下文“甚至一棵番茄植株长错了地方也会成为杂草”可知，C项承上启下，解释“杂草”的概念，故选C。 37．答案　E 解析　下文说明杂草的负面影响。E项提出问题，引出下文。后文则是回答。故选E。 38．答案　A 解析　上文说明杂草也有好处，并举了蒲公英的例子进行说明。A项承上启下，说明蒲公英的好处，故选A。 39．答案　D 解析　上文介绍抑制杂草生长的方式。D项承接上文，指出添加有机物质的作用，故选D。 40．答案　F 解析　下文说明如果翻土会给杂草种子提供生长的条件。F项说明杂草种子在土壤中等待生长条件，引起下文，且其中的“weed seeds”对应下文的“those seeds”。故选F。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节　(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Never criticize someone until you have walked in a mile in their shoes.During the past 25 years，I’ve often found that the saying has helped me see 41 from a different view.

The waves were rising higher and higher.Dyami thought，“How big the waves are！” He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides.He was scared.Dyami remembered his mother telling him long ago，“You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa.But the water came surging(汹涌) in.
