There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of Young men crowd into dark, packed pobs, staring at television screens. Of course, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout and scream and sadness when their team loses a goal or with joy. When there is a moment of success, you do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement. As far as Victories are concerned, england had its big moment in one thousand sixty six in whether ley stadium, the world cup Victories in the hearts and minds of all football fans.

Hera is designed to collect data on the targeted system, called Didymos. The spacecraft is expected to closely examine the physical properties of Didymos and measure detailed effects of DART’s crash. Boeing’s Starliner test flight NASA and Boeing have said they plan to launch the first crewed test flight of the company’s Starliner spacecraft. NASA says it is targeting May 2024 to have Starliner ready for flight. The launch date is to be set later. The spacecraft completed its first unscrewed flight test to the International Space Station (ISS) last May. But Boeing has experienced several technical difficulties with Starliner during the mission and has worked with NASA to fix the problems as it prepares for the planned crewed flight. SpaceX Starship test SpaceX, another NASA’s partner, has been successfully using its rockets and spacecraft to transport astronauts and materials to the ISS since 2020. But the company will be seeking a successful test flight in 2024 for its super-heavy Starship spacecraft. SpaceX experienced two failed Starship tests in 2023 - one in April and the other in November - which resulted in explosions. The April explosion caused major damage to the launch structure in the state of Texas. SpaceX has said it has been examining the issues related to the explosions and plans to carry out another test of Starship as soon as possible. But it will have to wait until the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) completes its investigation of the launchsite damage and approves a new test. 21. What is the main purpose of ESA’s Hera mission? A. To explore a new asteroid system. B. To collect data on the Didymos system. C. To return to the moon for further research. D. To measure the effects of a previous spacecraft crash. 22. What can we learn about Boeing’s Starliner test flight? A. It will be launched in October 2024. B. It has already completed its first crewed flight test. C. NASA has set a specific launch date for the crewed flight. D. Boeing has encountered technical difficulties during its test flights. 23. What happened to SpaceX’s Starship during its tests in 2023? A. It successfully completed two test flights. B. It experienced explosions during both tests. C. The first test was successful, but the second failed. D. The April test caused minor damage to the launch structure. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了2024年的三项太空探索任务。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据ESA’s Hera mission部分“The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch its Hera spacecraft in October on a mission to return to an asteroid (小行星) system visited by NASA’s DART spacecraft in 2022. Hera is designed to collect data on the targeted system, called Didymos. (欧洲航天局（ESA）计划于10月发射其赫拉航天器，执行2022年返回美国宇航局DART航天器访问的小行星系统的任务。Hera旨在收集目标系统Didymos的数据。)”可知，欧洲航天局的Hera任务的主要目的是收集Didymos系统的数据。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Boeing’s Starliner test flight部分第二段“But Boeing has experienced several technical difficulties with Starliner during the mission and has worked with NASA to fix the problems as it prepares for the planned crewed flight. (但波音公司在执行任务期间遇到了Starliner的几个技术困难，并与美国国家航空航天局合作解决了这些问题，为计划中的载人飞行做准备。)”可知，波音公司在试飞过程中遇到了技术困难。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据SpaceX Starship test部分第二段“SpaceX experienced two failed Starship tests in 2023 - one in April and the other in November - which resulted in explosions. (SpaceX在2023年经历了两次失败的星际飞船测试，一次是在4月，另一次是11月，导致爆炸。)”可知，2023年SpaceX的星际飞船在两次测试中都发生了爆炸。故选B。 B In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this opening event — the Grannies International Football Tournament. It was 13 years in the making, built on dreams and a friendship that crosses continents. The organizer, Beka Ntsanwisi — a well-known community activist and cancer survivor — founded the original team of soccer-playing grandmothers aged 40 to 80, some 15 years ago, to improve their health. At first the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion. In 2010, the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in Massachusetts. Like the Grannies, I found soccer later in life and my Lexington, Massachusetts teammates are among my best friends. Beka replied to my invitation without hesitation: “We will come, my sister.” In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport. They wowed us with their dancing on the sidelines of the field and their enthusiasm for life. And during that visit, Beka announced, “Before I die, I want to host a Grannies World Cup.” In March, 2023, Beka’s 13-year wish to host a Grannies international tournament was finally and joyfully met. The tournament, held in the town of Nkowankowa, was intense as France, Zambia, three South African teams, and all three U. S. teams entered the quarterfinals on the fourth and final day. My team would settle for second place, but the U. S. Breakers, also from Massachusetts, held the 3-foot-tall trophy (奖杯) in the air. The goalkeeper presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion. For me, the Grannies tournament was an extraordinary gift, an experience I will not forget. For all of us, we hold on to our memories of bonding with our soccer sisters. 24. What can we learn about the original team founded by Beka? A. It was 13 years in the making. B. It received support from the locals. C. It promoted the wellbeing of its members. D. It consisted of middle-aged women players. 25. Why did the 15 Grannies fly to Boston in July 2010? A. To take part in a football competition. B. To make the football teams cheer for their performance. C. To share their football playing stories. D. To learn to play football professionally. 26. What did the goalkeeper intend to do by gifting Beka the trophy? A. Honor Beka’s football skill. B. Share the joy of their success. C. Acknowledge Beka’s initiative. D. Declare victory for the host team. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. My Soccer Life with Grannies. B. My Granny’s Enthusiasm for Soccer C. Inspired by Soccer: An International Tour D. Celebrating Grannies: A Global Soccer Event 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了南非举办了一场国际祖母足球锦标赛，介绍了该赛事的起源、发展过程以及作者参与其中的感受。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The organizer, Beka Ntsanwisi — a well-known community activist and cancer survivor — founded the original team of soccer-playing grandmothers aged 40 to 80, some 15 years ago, to improve their health. At first the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion.(组织者Beka Ntsanwisi是一位知名的社区活动家和癌症幸存者，她在大约15年前成立了这支由40至80岁的祖母们组成的足球队，以改善她们的健康状况。起初，当地人嘲笑她们，告诉她们应该待在家里照顾孙子孙女。但队医记录了她们定期锻炼的结果：行动能力提高，血压降低，消化更好)”可知，Beka成立的原始球队改善了成员们的健康状况。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2010, the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in Massachusetts.(2010年，这支球队受到了国际关注，受邀前往马萨诸塞州参加一场锦标赛)”以及“In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport.(2010年7月，15位祖母涌向波士顿机场)”可知，15位祖母2010年7月飞往波士顿是为了参加一场足球比赛。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The goalkeeper presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion.(守门员将奖杯赠予了Beka和东道主祖母队，如果没有她们，这场比赛就不可能举行。我们知道Beka才是真正的冠军)”可知，守门员将奖杯赠予Beka是为了感谢她的倡议，因为没有Beka，这场比赛就不可能举行。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this opening event — the Grannies International Football Tournament.(在南非农村，16支女子球队，队员都是50岁以上的我们，参加了这场开幕式——国际祖母足球锦标赛)”可知，文章主要讲述了南非举办了一场国际祖母足球锦标赛，介绍了该赛事的起源、发展过程以及作者参与其中的感受。D项“Celebrating Grannies: A Global Soccer Event(为奶奶们庆祝：一场全球足球盛事)”最能概括文章内容，适合做文章标题。故选D项。 C “Dinner’s ready!” Do you recognize that familiar call for everyone to gather round the table and tuck in? Whether it’s a takeaway with friends or a family get-together during holiday seasons, humans have been eating together for thousands of years. But why? The discovery of fire may have kick started communal eating for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, according to primatologist (灵长类动物学家) Richard Wrangham. Cooking a meal all those years ago required a social group — you needed someone to hunt the food, someone to protect the food from thieves or predators, and of course, someone to cook. And once enjoying the feast, evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar guesses that the fire’s bright light may have given the humans longer nights and provided great opportunities for bonding over food. But modern humans don’t face the same threats as we used to — we can cook and eat a meal by ourselves. So why should we still make group meals a routine? In Dunbar’s 2017 study Breaking Bread: the Functions of Social Eating’, they found communal eating increased feelings of well-being and connectedness with the community. Despite this, the study found a third of weekday evening meals in the UK are eaten in isolation — the main cause being busy work schedules. Today’s reality is that having meals together can be difficult. Time management, fussy eaters, and family tensions are all things that can get in the way. But, in an article about overthinking family meals, Susannah Ayre and colleagues write ‘Five tips to ease the pressure’, including dropping the need for perfection. “There is no shame in reheating a frozen meal” or “eating on a picnic rug in the living room”. Sharing meals may look different today than it did for our ancestors, but the essence stays the same: food is more than just fuel. It can be a way to connect, share stories and strengthen bonds. 28. What does the underlined phrase “tuck in” mean? A. Start eating. B. Beg for food. C. Discuss what to eat. D. Sit still. 29. According to Richard Wrangham, what might have initiated communal eating among our hunter-gatherer ancestors? A. The invention of cooking utensils. B. The discovery of fire. C. The need for protection from wild animals. D. The desire for social interaction. 30. How does the author support the idea that communal eating is important in modern society? A.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍人类集体用餐历史悠久，火的发现或为起源，现代虽有困难，但集体用餐能增进幸福感与联系，其本质是情感纽带。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段划线短语所在的句子““Dinner’s ready!” Do you recognize that familiar call for everyone to gather round the table (“晚饭准备好了！”你还记得大家围坐在桌子旁的熟悉叫声吗？)” 可知，“晚餐准备好了！” 是一个让大家围坐在桌旁的熟悉召唤，其后动词短语“tuck in”承接前文，意思应该是开始用餐，与“Start eating”意思相符。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The discovery of fire may have kick started communal eating for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, according to primatologist (灵长类动物学家) Richard Wrangham. (灵长类动物学家Richard Wrangham表示，火的发现可能启动了我们狩猎采集祖先的集体进食。)” 可知，根据灵长类动物学家Richard Wrangham的说法，火的发现可能引发了我们狩猎采集时代祖先的集体用餐。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“In Dunbar’s 2017 study Breaking Bread: the Functions of Social Eating’, they found communal eating increased feelings of well-being and connectedness with the community. (在邓巴2017年的研究《打破面包：社交饮食的功能》中，他们发现公共饮食增加了幸福感和与社区的联系。)” 可知，作者通过分析邓巴2017年的研究，说明集体用餐能增加幸福感和与社区的联系，以此支持集体用餐在现代社会很重要这一观点。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Whether it’s a takeaway with friends or a family get-together during holiday seasons, humans have been eating together for thousands of years. But why? (无论是和朋友一起外卖，还是在节日期间的家庭聚会，人类已经在一起吃了几千年了。但是为什么呢？)” 和最后一段“Sharing meals may look different today than it did for our ancestors, but the essence stays the same: food is more than just fuel. It can be a way to connect, share stories and strengthen bonds. (今天共享食物可能看起来与我们的祖先不同，但本质是一样的：食物不仅仅是燃料。它可以成为一种连接、分享故事和加强联系的方式。)” 可知，文章主要目的是讨论集体用餐的演变及其在现代社会的重要性。故选D。 D The ocean feels boundless. If you were to start swimming from shore, it’s easy to believe — fitness and oxygen aside — you could continue forever. That’s a far different experience to overland travel, where mountains, rivers, and highways jammed with traffic prevents easy passage. It’s equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures could smoothly experience the ocean. These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (绕过) any barrier around which they can theoretically swim. That assumption, though, is wrong. It’s common for many oceanic species to stick to specific habitats and only seldom swim beyond them. That is especially true for many immature animals, which are small and easy to fall victim to predators (捕食者). This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way. Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 2017, engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty (码头) and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore. Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats. This discovery leads to a surprising new idea: that sea animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human infrastructure. In the case of the green sawfish, engineers could have created underpasses in the jetty through which the fish could swim. As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving farther north and they need suitable habitats to move through. Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean. 32. What is the misunderstanding mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Sea creatures adapt to the ocean slowly. B. The ocean presents no barriers to sea life. C. Humans are naturally skilled at sea navigation. D. Sea travel guarantees easier passage than land travel. 33. Why are the green sawfish mentioned in the passage? A. To illustrate a point. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To put forward a new argument. D. To add some background information. 34. What does the author suggest about engineering the ocean? A. Maximizing economic benefits. B. Prioritizing human infrastructures. C. Creating underpasses for surfers. D. Accommodating oceanic species’ needs. 35. Where could this passage come from? A. A geography textbook. B. An wildlife forum. C. A scientific magazine. D. A travel blog. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海洋生物在面临人类基础设施时可能遇到的困境，以及人类如何通过合理设计基础设施来保护海洋生物。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It’s equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures could smoothly experience the ocean. These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass(绕过)any barrier around which they can theoretically swim. That assumption, though, is wrong.(同样，人们也很容易认为鱼类和其他活动能力很强的海洋生物能够在海洋中畅行无阻。这些经过数千年进化、适应了海洋环境的动物，理论上应该能够轻易绕过它们周围的任何障碍。然而，这种设想是错误的)”可知，人们容易认为鱼类等海洋生物能在海洋中畅行无阻，而实际上这种设想是错误的，这表明存在的误解就是认为海洋对海洋生物来说不存在障碍。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way.(然而，这可能会给海洋物种带来意想不到的大问题，特别是当基础设施成为阻碍的时候)”以及第三段“Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats.(后来，科学家们发现绿锯鳐无法或者不愿绕过这一障碍。但这可能会阻碍它们到达有价值的觅食地和其他栖息地)”可推测，文中在第二段提到基础设施会给海洋物种带来大问题，尤其是幼体动物。然后在第三段以绿锯鳐为例，详细说明了当地新建造的装卸设施阻碍了绿锯鳐到达觅食地和其他栖息地，这是为了具体地说明第二段所提到的基础设施给海洋生物造成阻碍这一观点。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving farther north and they need suitable habitats to move through. Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean.(随着气候持续变化，许多海洋物种正向更北的地方迁移，它们需要合适的栖息地以便迁徙。无论是在人工建筑中开辟通道，还是规划避开海洋变暖区域的路线，在我们继续对海洋进行开发建设时，精心规划基础设施对于保护动物都大有裨益)”可知，作者认为在对海洋进行开发建设时，要精心规划基础设施，无论是开辟通道还是规划路线，都要考虑满足海洋生物的需求，以保护它们。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，本文先是指出人们对海洋生物在海洋中通行的错误认知，接着通过具体案例分析海洋生物受人类基础设施阻碍的情况，最后提出在海洋开发建设中保护海洋生物的建议，具有科学性、专业性，符合科学杂志文章的特点，所以很有可能来自科学杂志。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’re a freshman who is hoping to begin your college career on solid footing, the following tips can help.

(哈佛大学招生办公室的面试官Tammy Huang表示，大学新生应该不遗余力地结识那些能帮助他们取得成功的人。黄建议成立一个积极的支持小组，加入有意义的俱乐部，与宿舍里的人或其他符合你兴趣和目标的组织交朋友。)”说明新生应该结识能帮助自己取得成功的人，加入有意义的俱乐部，并与合适的人交朋友，即本段介绍的方法是积极社交，A项“专注于社交。”总括本段内容，符合题意。故选A。 【39题详解】 下文“Trevena points out that campus counseling (心理咨询) centers offer services that can reduce students’ psychological stress.

Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again. The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents. A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully. Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently. The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs... How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom! But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up.” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird.” Berlin suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head. 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。 Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!”. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree!” Berlin thought it was a good idea. When the two brothers reached an agreement, they quickly ran back to their grandfather’s house, got the tools they needed to make the cane, and ran back to the woods. In the woods, they worked hard to find a straight tree and set to work. After cutting the tree down, they took the bark (树皮) off with a knife. After an hour, a hand-made cane was finally made, which was smooth and was just of the right size. The two brothers were sure that their grandpa would love it! Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. The moment grandpa took the cane with shaking hands, he cried with joy, “This is made by my grandsons themselves. How precious it is!” Jack shouted, “Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods!” Grandpa smiled at the boys and seized the cane in his right hand, trying to stand up. To their amazement, he did it! Everyone was excited to see grandpa stand up. At that moment, Jack noticed grandfather’s eyes were wet. What a wonderful gift he had ever got! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假Jack和Berlin兄弟俩去看望爷爷奶奶，却发现爷爷因健康问题无法站起来，后来Jack和Berlin去森林闲逛时想起了爷爷曾经带他们在这里度过的快乐时光，他们很担心，Berlin提议给爷爷抓一只鸟放在笼子里，遭到了Jack的否定。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这时，Jack想到了一个好主意。”可知，第一段可描写Jack提议给爷爷做拐杖以及他们的制作过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jack和Berlin把拐杖递给爷爷。”可知，第二段可描写爷爷收到拐杖后的反应以及爷爷借助拐杖成功站起来。 2.续写线索：建议做拐杖——制作过程——交给爷爷——爷爷站起来——众人反应——注意到爷爷眼睛湿润 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①达成协议：reach an agreement/make an agreement ②喊：shout/yell ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/happiness ②惊讶：amazement/surprise 【点睛】[高分句型1] After an hour, a hand-made cane was finally made, which was smooth and was just of the right size.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] The moment grandpa took the cane with shaking hands, he cried with joy, “This is made by my grandsons themselves.

Hera is designed to collect data on the targeted system, called Didymos. The spacecraft is expected to closely examine the physical properties of Didymos and measure detailed effects of DART’s crash. Boeing’s Starliner test flight NASA and Boeing have said they plan to launch the first crewed test flight of the company’s Starliner spacecraft. NASA says it is targeting May 2024 to have Starliner ready for flight. The launch date is to be set later. The spacecraft completed its first unscrewed flight test to the International Space Station (ISS) last May. But Boeing has experienced several technical difficulties with Starliner during the mission and has worked with NASA to fix the problems as it prepares for the planned crewed flight. SpaceX Starship test SpaceX, another NASA’s partner, has been successfully using its rockets and spacecraft to transport astronauts and materials to the ISS since 2020. But the company will be seeking a successful test flight in 2024 for its super-heavy Starship spacecraft. SpaceX experienced two failed Starship tests in 2023 - one in April and the other in November - which resulted in explosions. The April explosion caused major damage to the launch structure in the state of Texas. SpaceX has said it has been examining the issues related to the explosions and plans to carry out another test of Starship as soon as possible. But it will have to wait until the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) completes its investigation of the launchsite damage and approves a new test. 21. What is the main purpose of ESA’s Hera mission? A. To explore a new asteroid system. B. To collect data on the Didymos system. C. To return to the moon for further research. D. To measure the effects of a previous spacecraft crash. 22. What can we learn about Boeing’s Starliner test flight? A. It will be launched in October 2024. B. It has already completed its first crewed flight test. C. NASA has set a specific launch date for the crewed flight. D. Boeing has encountered technical difficulties during its test flights. 23. What happened to SpaceX’s Starship during its tests in 2023? A. It successfully completed two test flights. B. It experienced explosions during both tests. C. The first test was successful, but the second failed. D. The April test caused minor damage to the launch structure. B In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this opening event — the Grannies International Football Tournament. It was 13 years in the making, built on dreams and a friendship that crosses continents. The organizer, Beka Ntsanwisi — a well-known community activist and cancer survivor — founded the original team of soccer-playing grandmothers aged 40 to 80, some 15 years ago, to improve their health. At first the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion. In 2010 the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in Massachusetts. Like the Grannies, I found soccer later in life and my Lexington, Massachusetts teammates are among my best friends. Beka replied to my invitation without hesitation: “We will come, my sister.” In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport. They wowed us with their dancing on the sidelines of the field and their enthusiasm for life. And during that visit, Beka announced, “Before I die, I want to host a Grannies World Cup.” In March, 2023, Beka’s 13-year wish to host a Grannies international tournament was finally and joyfully met. The tournament, held in the town of Nkowankowa, was intense as France, Zambia, three South African teams, and all three U. S. teams entered the quarterfinals on the fourth and final day. My team would settle for second place, but the U. S. Breakers, also from Massachusetts, held the 3-foot-tall trophy (奖杯) in the air. The goalkeeper presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion. For me, the Grannies tournament was an extraordinary gift, an experience I will not forget. For all of us, we hold on to our memories of bonding with our soccer sisters. 24. What can we learn about the original team founded by Beka? A. It was 13 years in the making. B. It received support from the locals. C. It promoted the wellbeing of its members. D. It consisted of middle-aged women players. 25. Why did the 15 Grannies fly to Boston in July 2010? A. To take part in a football competition. B. To make the football teams cheer for their performance. C. To share their football playing stories. D. To learn to play football professionally. 26. What did the goalkeeper intend to do by gifting Beka the trophy? A. Honor Beka’s football skill. B. Share the joy of their success. C. Acknowledge Beka’s initiative. D. Declare victory for the host team. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. My Soccer Life with Grannies. B. My Granny’s Enthusiasm for Soccer C. Inspired by Soccer: An International Tour D. Celebrating Grannies: A Global Soccer Event C “Dinner’s ready!” Do you recognize that familiar call for everyone to gather round the table and tuck in? Whether it’s a takeaway with friends or a family get-together during holiday seasons, humans have been eating together for thousands of years. But why? The discovery of fire may have kick started communal eating for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, according to primatologist (灵长类动物学家) Richard Wrangham. Cooking a meal all those years ago required a social group — you needed someone to hunt the food, someone to protect the food from thieves or predators, and of course, someone to cook. And once enjoying the feast, evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar guesses that the fire’s bright light may have given the humans longer nights and provided great opportunities for bonding over food. But modern humans don’t face the same threats as we used to — we can cook and eat a meal by ourselves. So why should we still make group meals a routine? In Dunbar’s 2017 study Breaking Bread: the Functions of Social Eating’, they found communal eating increased feelings of well-being and connectedness with the community. Despite this, the study found a third of weekday evening meals in the UK are eaten in isolation — the main cause being busy work schedules. Today’s reality is that having meals together can be difficult. Time management, fussy eaters, and family tensions are all things that can get in the way. But, in an article about overthinking family meals, Susannah Ayre and colleagues write ‘Five tips to ease the pressure’, including dropping the need for perfection. “There is no shame in reheating a frozen meal” or “eating on a picnic rug in the living room”. Sharing meals may look different today than it did for our ancestors, but the essence stays the same: food is more than just fuel. It can be a way to connect, share stories and strengthen bonds. 28. What does the underlined phrase “tuck in” mean? A. Start eating. B. Beg for food. C. Discuss what to eat. D. Sit still. 29. According to Richard Wrangham, what might have initiated communal eating among our hunter-gatherer ancestors? A. The invention of cooking utensils. B. The discovery of fire. C. The need for protection from wild animals. D. The desire for social interaction. 30. How does the author support the idea that communal eating is important in modern society? A. By presenting personal anecdotes. B. By comparing and contrasting different cultures. C. By analyzing scientific studies. D. By giving examples of famous people who value communal eating. 31. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To provide tips on how to make family meals less stressful. B. To promote the idea that food is only meant for fuel. C. To criticize the busy lifestyles that prevent people from eating together. D. To discuss the evolution of communal eating and its importance in modern society. D The ocean feels boundless. If you were to start swimming from shore, it’s easy to believe — fitness and oxygen aside — you could continue forever. That’s a far different experience to overland travel, where mountains, rivers, and highways jammed with traffic prevents easy passage. It’s equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures could smoothly experience the ocean. These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (绕过) any barrier around which they can theoretically swim. That assumption, though, is wrong. It’s common for many oceanic species to stick to specific habitats and only seldom swim beyond them. That is especially true for many immature animals, which are small and easy to fall victim to predators (捕食者). This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way. Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 2017, engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty (码头) and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore. Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats. This discovery leads to a surprising new idea: that sea animals much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human infrastructure. In the case of the green sawfish, engineers could have created underpasses in the jetty through which the fish could swim. As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving farther north and they need suitable habitats to move through. Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean. 32. What is the misunderstanding mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Sea creatures adapt to the ocean slowly. B. The ocean presents no barriers to sea life. C. Humans are naturally skilled at sea navigation. D. Sea travel guarantees easier passage than land travel. 33. Why are the green sawfish mentioned in the passage? A. To illustrate a point. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To put forward a new argument. D. To add some background information. 34. What does the author suggest about engineering the ocean? A. Maximizing economic benefits. B. Prioritizing human infrastructures. C. Creating underpasses for surfers. D. Accommodating oceanic species’ needs. 35. Where could this passage come from? A. A geography textbook. B. An wildlife forum. C. A scientific magazine. D. A travel blog. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’re a freshman who is hoping to begin your college career on solid footing, the following tips can help.
