M: Pay attention to the components while purchasing them.
W: I’d better start reading the labels.
M: Absolutely. You should always know exactly what you’re buying.

20. What does the speaker mainly talk about?
A. How King became successful.
B. When King published his first book.
C. What awards King received.
【答案】18. A 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Stephen King is one of the most successful writers in the world. Many of his stories are set in his home state of Maine, the USA. When he was young, he saw one of his friends being struck and killed by a train. That’s why he often writes about death. When his first book Carrie was published, no one knew of Stephen King, so his name meant nothing. Three years later, Carrie was made into a movie, which turned out to be a huge success. Since that first success, many of King’s books have been made into movies. King usually writes about ordinary people in ordinary places. Perhaps this is the reason for his success — his readers think what happens to the people in his books could happen to them. So far, he has already published 58 novels, including seven under the pen name Richard Bachman, and six non-fiction books. He has written about 200 short stories as well. He has received many awards for his contributions to literature. King once said: “I read and write about eight hours a day, making me a writer today!”

As a fashion designer who transitioned from dressing rock stars to making jeans for aging women, I thought aging meant reinventing yourself — finding new ways to feel confident and beautiful. However, I didn’t perceive it until I was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer at 71 and beat it three years later at 74.
When I was younger, I thought, I’m never gonna get old. I harbored a lot of misconceptions about old age. I thought it meant slowing down, losing your vitality, and having no goals or excitement in life.
While I was receiving treatment, I experienced a truly crucial moment. One day, the nurses excitedly called a patient named Sheila, telling her how they had saved her a few of her favorite sandwiches. I was a little envious! I assumed she was a soap opera star, a TV program host, or someone with a big name. It turned out she was a homeless woman who had been abused and was living in a shelter with her child. She had Stage Ⅲ breast cancer just like me. The food in the shelter was so terrible that those sandwiches were going to be her one meal a day for the next three days. It gave me a whole new perspective.
By the time I finished with treatment, I saw life differently. And I wanted to share my journey and the lessons I learned with others. So, I decided to start a podcast called Too Young to Be Old, also the name of my second book. I hope to inspire others to embrace their own aging process and live life to the fullest.
That experience taught me everything I needed to know to handle the rest of my life. It taught me sympathy, care and understanding, and helped me realize how precious life is. Cancer is a great leveler and a great revealer; it doesn’t care if you’re wealthy or beautiful. Now my life is filled with gratitude, and I never pass up a moment to think about how lucky I am — not just lucky to continue to be alive, but lucky to have learned that lesson in understanding.
24. What is the author’s original view on aging?
A. Reinventing oneself. B. Losing enthusiasm.
C. Starting new projects. D. Requiring others’ care.
25. Why did nurses save sandwiches for Sheila?
A. To please her. B. To raise funds.
C. To support the shelter. D. To provide nutrition.
26. What can we learn about the author after her treatment?
A. She takes a good rest at home.
B. She helps the homeless in shelter.
C. She tries to share her life insight.
D. She writes stories about the youth.
27. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. Aging is an unavoidable process.
B. Facing diseases is easy for the wealthy.
C. Cancer can be overcome through joint efforts.
D. Life value can be discovered through challenges.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者作为一名时尚设计师,讲述了自己从对衰老抱有误解,到患乳腺癌后经历治疗,从而改变对生活的看法,领悟到生命价值的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I thought it meant slowing down, losing your vitality, and having no goals or excitement in life.(我认为衰老意味着放慢脚步,失去活力,生活中没有目标和激情)”可知,作者原本认为衰老意味着失去热情。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The food in the shelter was so terrible that those sandwiches were going to be her one meal a day for the next three days.(收容所的食物非常糟糕,那些三明治将是她接下来三天每天的一顿饭)”可知收容所的食物太差。由此推知,护士给Sheila留三明治是为了给她提供营养。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“And I wanted to share my journey and the lessons I learned with others. So, I decided to start a podcast called Too Young to Be Old, also the name of my second book.(我想与他人分享我的经历以及我学到的东西。所以,我决定开设一个名为Too Young to Be Old的播客,这也是我的第二本书的名字)”可知,作者在治疗后试图分享她对生活的见解。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“That experience taught me everything I needed to know to handle the rest of my life. It taught me sympathy, care and understanding, and helped me realize how precious life is. (那段经历教会了我度过余生所需了解的一切。它教会了我同情、关爱和理解,帮助我意识到生命是多么宝贵)”以及“Now my life is filled with gratitude, and I never pass up a moment to think about how lucky I am — not just lucky to continue to be alive, but lucky to have learned that lesson in understanding.(现在我的生活充满了感激,我从不错过任何一个思考自己有多幸运的时刻 —— 不仅幸运于能够继续活着,还幸运于在理解中学会了这一课)” 可知,作者通过经历癌症这一挑战,发现了生命的价值。由此推知。作者在最后一段传达的信息是生命价值可以通过挑战被发现。故选D项。
C
At dusk and dawn, the sky dances with three phases of in-between light. When the sun has just set in the west, the sky changes from the vibrant blue of afternoon to a more relaxed tone, as if it’s settling down for the evening. Soon the east will darken even as the west goes through an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows. And then, at last, the black of night will reign once again. Astronomers are so familiar with twilight (黄昏) that we’ve classified its various stages.
The first that occurs after sunset is called civil twilight, so named because when the sun is just below the horizon, the sky is still bright enough for people to conduct typical “daytime” outdoor activities. This is also when you’re likely to see the most colors in the sky toward the west. Those same molecules (微粒) that distribute sunlight don’t do so randomly; the angle of distributing depends on the color of the light. All the blue light from the sun is sent away in all directions, leaving only the redder colors to shine through, thus creating those breathtaking sunsets.
The next phase is nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. The sky maybe a deep purple, and stars begin to appear. The term “nautical twilight” came about because sailors used the stars to get their bearings, and it’s at this time of the early evening that celestial navigation (天文导航) becomes possible.
After that comes astronomical twilight. This is when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky finally appears black, with the stars truly shining. We call it astronomical twilight because it may look dark to your eye, but through a telescope, the sky is still bright enough to intervene in some observations.
This last phase of twilight concludes once the sun drops below 18 degrees; the sky becomes fully dark, and it is time for astronomers to enjoy the beginning of their work night.
28. What does the underlined word “reign” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Fade away. B. Draw near. C. End up. D. Take over.
29 What causes breathtaking sunsets during the civil twilight?
A. The standout of red colors. B. The absence of artificial light.
C. The reflection of colorful tones. D. The distribution of all colors of light.
30. What can we learn about the three phases of twilight?
A. Each twilight is characterized by the sun’s position.
B. Each twilight allows for various scientific researches.
C. Nautical twilight is too bright to use celestial navigation.
D. Astronomical twilight is ideal for telescope observations.
31. What will the author introduce next?
A. The impacts of twilight. B. The interpretations of twilight.
C. The process of observing stars. D. The working conditions of astronomers.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了黄昏的不同阶段及其特点,包括民用暮光、航海暮光和天文暮光,解释了各个阶段天空颜色变化的原因以及它们在天文学中的应用。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“At dusk and dawn, the sky dances with three phases of in-between light. When the sun has just set in the west, the sky changes from the vibrant blue of afternoon to a more relaxed tone, as if it’s settling down for the evening. Soon the east will darken even as the west goes through an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows. And then, at last, the black of night will reign once again(在黄昏和黎明,天空在三个阶段的中间光中跳舞。当太阳刚刚在西方落下时,天空从下午的充满活力的蓝色变成了一种更轻松的色调,好像它正在为晚上的到来而安定下来。很快东方就会变暗,即使西方经历了丰富的红色、橙色和黄色。然后,最后,黑夜将再次reign一切)”可知,黄昏和黎明分为三个阶段,上文提到了前两个阶段,可推理出此处说的是最后一个阶段黑夜将再次占据天空,可推理出“reign”意为“占据,接管”。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“All the blue light from the sun is sent away in all directions, leaving only the redder colors to shine through, thus creating those breathtaking sunsets(太阳的所有蓝光被向四面八方送走,只留下红色系的光芒穿透过来,从而创造出那些令人惊叹的日落景色)”可知,民用暮光期间令人惊叹的日落是由于只有红色光能够穿透并闪耀,即红色光的突出表现。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The first that occurs after sunset is called civil twilight, so named because when the sun is just below the horizon, the sky is still bright enough for people to conduct typical “daytime” outdoor activities(日落后发生的第一阶段被称为民用暮光,之所以这样命名,是因为当太阳刚刚低于地平线时,天空仍然足够明亮,人们可以从事典型的“白天”户外活动)”可知民用暮光发生在太阳刚落到地平线以下时;根据第三段“The next phase is nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon(下一阶段是航海暮光,此时太阳在地平线以下6到12度之间)”可知航海暮光发生在太阳在地平线以下6到12度时;根据第四段“After that comes astronomical twilight. This is when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky finally appears black, with the stars truly shining(之后是天文暮光。此时太阳在地平线以下12到18度,天空终于看起来是黑色的,星星真正地闪烁着)”可知,天文暮光发生在太阳在地平线以下12到18度时。由此可知,每个暮光阶段的特点是由太阳的位置决定的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This last phase of twilight concludes once the sun drops below 18 degrees; the sky becomes fully dark, and it is time for astronomers to enjoy the beginning of their work night(一旦太阳降到18度以下,这个最后的黄昏阶段就结束了;天空完全变黑,天文学家们可以享受他们工作之夜的开始了)”可知,文章最后介绍了天文暮光结束后天空完全变黑,天文学家开始他们的工作夜晚。由此可推测,接下来作者可能会介绍天文学家在这种黑暗环境下观测星空的过程。故选C项。
D
More than 2,000 years after Plato died, the towering figure of classical antiquity and founder of the Academy, regarded by many as the first university in the west, can still make front-page news. Researchers this week claimed to have found the final resting place of the Greek philosopher, a plot in the garden of his Athens Academy, after scanning an ancient papyrus scroll (纸草卷轴) recovered from the library of a Herculaneum villa that was buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79.
The project belongs to a new wave of efforts that seek to read, restore and translate ancient and even lost languages with cutting-edge technologies. Equipped with modern tools, many powered by artificial intelligence, scholars are starting to read what had long been considered unreadable. “There will be scrolls that will be read with these new techniques that contribute to our knowledge of antiquity, and to our knowledge of literature in general.” said Dr Kilian Fleischer, a papyrologist who worked on The History of the Academy.
But it’s no easy task when the scroll is in pieces from being unrolled and the papyrus as black as the ink written on it. Substantial portions of text are faded, indistinct or missing. Prof Graziano Ranocchia, project leader at the University of Pisa, used hyperspectral imaging (高光谱成像) to light up the scroll fragments. The images reveal letters on the scroll that are invisible to the naked eye, giving scholars crucial clues as to the final resting place of Plato.
Armed with the scans, the team reconstructed 20% to 30% more of the text, with the additional words fitted into place amounting to 1,000 extra letters. Fleischer compares it to completing a crossword: sometimes it takes only a single letter to be confident of the answer. “It’s a wonderful feeling, this moment of reading something new and knowing this was information other researchers have wanted for decades or centuries,” Fleischer said. “This might be a second Renaissance.”
32. Why did the author introduce Plato’s historical position in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the influence of Renaissance.
B. To show the background of the discovery.
C. To introduce the revival of the philosophy.
D. To highlight the importance of the finding.
33. The expert’s words in paragraph 2 imply that ______.
A. he is cautious about the new techniques
B. he just focuses on solving current problems
C. he is optimistic about the project’s potential
D. he stresses the ancient civilization preservation
34 What can be inferred about the project?
A. It focuses on locating Plato’s resting place.
B It applies technology to reading ancient texts.
C. It has restored the content in the papyrus scroll.
D. It has reconstructed the texts with crosswords.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Locate Herculaneum’s Villa.
B. Scientists Explore Plato’s Academy Garden.
C. Technology Uncovers Plato’s Secrets.
D. Technology Casts Light on Plato’s Works.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员利用高光谱成像等尖端技术,在古老纸草卷轴上发现了柏拉图的长眠之地。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“More than 2,000 years after Plato died, the towering figure of classical antiquity and founder of the Academy, regarded by many as the first university in the west, can still make front-page news.(柏拉图逝世2000多年后,这位古典时代的伟人、被许多人视为西方第一所大学的学园的创始人,仍能登上头条新闻。)”可知,作者在第一段介绍柏拉图的历史地位,是为了强调这一发现即发现柏拉图的长眠之地这一消息的重要性,它仍然能引起广泛关注。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“‘There will be scrolls that will be read with these new techniques that contribute to our knowledge of antiquity, and to our knowledge of literature in general.’ said Dr Kilian Fleischer, a papyrologist who worked on The History of the Academy.(‘将会有一些卷轴可以用这些新技术来阅读,这将有助于我们对古代的了解,以及对文学的一般了解。’ 研究《学园史》的纸莎草纸学者Kilian Fleischer博士说。)”可知,Kilian Fleischer博士对新技术持乐观态度,相信它们将有助于对古代和文学的研究,也就是他对这个项目的潜力持乐观态度。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The project belongs to a new wave of efforts that seek to read, restore and translate ancient and even lost languages with cutting-edge technologies.(该项目属于新一轮努力的一部分,旨在利用尖端技术阅读、恢复和翻译古代甚至失传的语言。)”可知,这个项目将技术应用于阅读古代文献。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了研究人员利用高光谱成像等尖端技术,在古老纸草卷轴上发现了柏拉图的长眠之地,这一发现揭示了柏拉图的秘密,展示了技术在解读古代文献方面的潜力。选项C“技术揭示了柏拉图的秘密”准确地概括了文章的主题。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了橘子在中国春节庆祝活动中所扮演的重要角色,以及橘子在中国传统文化中的象征意义。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:这种甜甜的水果不仅美化了家庭,而且很容易剥皮,是给来访者的一种很好的零食。修饰动词peels用副词easily作状语。故填easily。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种水果在节日期间的流行可以追溯到清朝,当时中国父母会在孩子的枕头旁边放上橘子、枣或柿子等水果,枕头下面还会放红包。空白处使用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词history,因与其逻辑主语history之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词。故填dating。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种水果在节日期间的流行可以追溯到清朝,当时中国父母会在孩子的枕头旁边放上橘子、枣或柿子等水果,枕头下面还会放红包。空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Qing Dynasty,关系词在从句中作时间状语,用关系副词when引导该从句。故填when。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这种水果在节日期间的流行可以追溯到清朝,当时中国父母会在孩子的枕头旁边放上橘子、枣或柿子等水果,枕头下面还会放红包。空白处在句子中作宾语,使用名词,因此处为泛指,因此名词envelope要用复数形式。故填envelopes。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个传统是为了吓跑民间故事中的怪物。be meant to do为固定短语,意为“旨在/为了做某事”。故填to scare。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:对于为什么橘子会成为如此幸运的象征,有一个普遍的解释。根据空前的不定冠词a和形容词common可知,空处应填单数名词explanation作主语。故填explanation。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意:除了名字吉利之外,橘子红金黄的颜色和圆形的形状也被广泛视为好运的象征。ring为可数名词,此处用不定冠词泛指,且auspicious以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an,故填an。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:今天,橘子很受中国人的欢迎,以至于在中国几乎每个家庭的最重要的节日里,橘子都是必不可少的。此处为固定短语be popular with sb.意为“受某人欢迎”。故填with。
【64题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:春节期间送橘子的传统也传播到了东南亚国家,在那里,人们在亲戚之间成对互送橘子,以此表达祝福。空处为主句谓语动词,主语oranges和exchange之间为被动关系,且此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态。又因主语oranges为复数概念,be动词用are,故填are exchanged。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:茎叶相连的橘子还具有长寿和多产的象征意义。本句使用了with复合结构,空白处在复合结构中作宾补,attach和宾语stems and leaves之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词作宾补。故填attached。

【答案】Ladies and gentlemen,
Our group firmly believes that learning foreign languages remains essential even in the era of artificial intelligence.
Firstly, language is not just a tool for communication; it is a window into different cultures and ways of thinking. Understanding a foreign language allows us to appreciate the tiny differences and subtleties of other societies, promoting cultural empathy and global understanding. Secondly, while AI can translate languages, it cannot fully grasp the context and emotions behind human communication. Human interaction requires a level of sensitivity and adaptability that AT cannot yet replicate. Finally, foreign language skills enhance human-to-human interaction.
Therefore, learning foreign languages continues to be a valuable skill in our increasingly interconnected world.
Thanks for your listening!

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I started my high school journey in an unfamiliar town, everything felt strange, from the sounds on the streets to the color of the sky. Loneliness was my constant companion, a reality that pained me deeply. I was floating in a sea of anxiety, lack of companionship.
Then, Emily entered my world. Our familiarity blossomed during my second week, perhaps because we sat close or had a shared task. I can’t remember how it began, but it changed everything. Emily’s warmth, humor, and approachability were a breath of fresh air. For the first time, I sensed a possibility of belonging.
However, the arrival of Jane, a girl in a wheelchair, broke my newfound balance. I first encountered her in class, who sat beside Emily, occupying my usual seat. Jane didn’t notice me, and I had to find another seat. It happened again and again, and I started to feel anxious. I told myself she was doing it on purpose, trying to push me out and take Emily away. But there’s a thing I had to admit that she always knew how to make people laugh.
I began to hate Jane. She seemed so comfortable and confident, making me feel small. I was upset that Emily didn’t notice my unease, and I felt like I was fighting to hold onto the only thing I had. I felt powerless, like I was standing on a shaky edge.
But then, Jane and I started talking. At first, it was just small talk during group discussions or quick hellos. She’d ask questions that bothered me, and I’d answer shortly, trying to end the conversation. But she’d let my words hang, waiting for me to fill the silence, and sometimes I did.
Gradually, our conversations became less unfriendly. Jane’s sharp wit and ability to command a room with her laughter started to grow on me. I found myself laughing along with the group, even when I tried to resist.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
An incident brought Jane close to me.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】An incident brought Jane close to me. It was a rainy day, and I had forgotten my umbrella. As I stood by the school entrance, hesitating to dash into the downpour, Jane rolled up beside me with a smile. “Need a ride?” she asked, offering me a place under her umbrella. I hesitated but accepted. As we made our way through the rain, she told stories that made me laugh, and I found myself opening up to her. It was at that moment that I realized Jane wasn’t the enemy. She was just another person trying to find her place in the world.
Emily also became the facilitator of our friendship. She organized study sessions and after-school activities that we could all enjoy. Over time, the three of us became inseparable. We learned to appreciate each other’s differences and strengths. We supported each other through the highs and lows of high school, and it was through these shared experiences that we truly became harmonious with one another, proving that sometimes, the most unexpected friendships can he the most rewarding.

As a fashion designer who transitioned from dressing rock stars to making jeans for aging women, I thought aging meant reinventing yourself — finding new ways to feel confident and beautiful. However, I didn’t perceive it until I was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer at 71 and beat it three years later at 74.
When I was younger, I thought, I’m never gonna get old. I harbored a lot of misconceptions about old age. I thought it meant slowing down, losing your vitality, and having no goals or excitement in life.
While I was receiving treatment, I experienced a truly crucial moment. One day, the nurses excitedly called a patient named Sheila, telling her how they had saved her a few of her favorite sandwiches. I was a little envious! I assumed she was a soap opera star, a TV program host, or someone with a big name. It turned out she was a homeless woman who had been abused and was living in a shelter with her child. She had Stage Ⅲ breast cancer just like me. The food in the shelter was so terrible that those sandwiches were going to be her one meal a day for the next three days. It gave me a whole new perspective.
By the time I finished with treatment, I saw life differently. And I wanted to share my journey and the lessons I learned with others. So, I decided to start a podcast called Too Young to Be Old, also the name of my second book. I hope to inspire others to embrace their own aging process and live life to the fullest.
That experience taught me everything I needed to know to handle the rest of my life. It taught me sympathy, care and understanding, and helped me realize how precious life is. Cancer is a great leveler and a great revealer; it doesn’t care if you’re wealthy or beautiful. Now my life is filled with gratitude, and I never pass up a moment to think about how lucky I am — not just lucky to continue to be alive, but lucky to have learned that lesson in understanding.
24. What is the author’s original view on aging?
A. Reinventing oneself. B. Losing enthusiasm.
C. Starting new projects. D. Requiring others’ care.
25. Why did nurses save sandwiches for Sheila?
A. To please her. B. To raise funds.
C. To support the shelter. D. To provide nutrition.
26 What can we learn about the author after her treatment?
A. She takes a good rest at home.
B. She helps the homeless in shelter.
C. She tries to share her life insight.
D. She writes stories about the youth.
27. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. Aging is an unavoidable process.
B. Facing diseases is easy for the wealthy.
C. Cancer can be overcome through joint efforts.
D. Life value can be discovered through challenges.
C
At dusk and dawn, the sky dances with three phases of in-between light. When the sun has just set in the west, the sky changes from the vibrant blue of afternoon to a more relaxed tone, as if it’s settling down for the evening. Soon the east will darken even as the west goes through an abundance of reds, oranges and yellows. And then, at last, the black of night will reign once again. Astronomers are so familiar with twilight (黄昏) that we’ve classified its various stages.
The first that occurs after sunset is called civil twilight, so named because when the sun is just below the horizon, the sky is still bright enough for people to conduct typical “daytime” outdoor activities. This is also when you’re likely to see the most colors in the sky toward the west. Those same molecules (微粒) that distribute sunlight don’t do so randomly; the angle of distributing depends on the color of the light. All the blue light from the sun is sent away in all directions, leaving only the redder colors to shine through, thus creating those breathtaking sunsets.
The next phase is nautical twilight, when the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon. The sky maybe a deep purple, and stars begin to appear. The term “nautical twilight” came about because sailors used the stars to get their bearings, and it’s at this time of the early evening that celestial navigation (天文导航) becomes possible.
After that comes astronomical twilight. This is when the sun is 12 to 18 degrees below the horizon and the sky finally appears black, with the stars truly shining. We call it astronomical twilight because it may look dark to your eye, but through a telescope, the sky is still bright enough to intervene in some observations.
This last phase of twilight concludes once the sun drops below 18 degrees; the sky becomes fully dark, and it is time for astronomers to enjoy the beginning of their work night.
28. What does the underlined word “reign” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Fade away. B. Draw near. C. End up. D. Take over.
29. What causes breathtaking sunsets during the civil twilight?
A. The standout of red colors. B. The absence of artificial light.
C. The reflection of colorful tones. D. The distribution of all colors of light.
30. What can we learn about the three phases of twilight?
A. Each twilight is characterized by the sun’s position.
B. Each twilight allows for various scientific researches.
C. Nautical twilight is too bright to use celestial navigation.
D. Astronomical twilight is ideal for telescope observations.
31. What will the author introduce next?
A. The impacts of twilight. B. The interpretations of twilight.
C. The process of observing stars. D. The working conditions of astronomers.
D
More than 2,000 years after Plato died, the towering figure of classical antiquity and founder of the Academy, regarded by many as the first university in the west, can still make front-page news. Researchers this week claimed to have found the final resting place of the Greek philosopher, a plot in the garden of his Athens Academy, after scanning an ancient papyrus scroll (纸草卷轴) recovered from the library of a Herculaneum villa that was buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79.
The project belongs to a new wave of efforts that seek to read, restore and translate ancient and even lost languages with cutting-edge technologies. Equipped with modern tools, many powered by artificial intelligence, scholars are starting to read what had long been considered unreadable. “There will be scrolls that will be read with these new techniques that contribute to our knowledge of antiquity, and to our knowledge of literature in general.” said Dr Kilian Fleischer, a papyrologist who worked on The History of the Academy.
But it’s no easy task when the scroll is in pieces from being unrolled and the papyrus as black as the ink written on it. Substantial portions of text are faded, indistinct or missing. Prof Graziano Ranocchia, project leader at the University of Pisa, used hyperspectral imaging (高光谱成像) to light up the scroll fragments. The images reveal letters on the scroll that are invisible to the naked eye, giving scholars crucial clues as to the final resting place of Plato.
Armed with the scans, the team reconstructed 20% to 30% more of the text, with the additional words fitted into place amounting to 1,000 extra letters. Fleischer compares it to completing a crossword: sometimes it takes only a single letter to be confident of the answer. “It’s a wonderful feeling, this moment of reading something new and knowing this was information other researchers have wanted for decades or centuries,” Fleischer said. “This might be a second Renaissance.”
32. Why did the author introduce Plato’s historical position in paragraph 1?
A To illustrate the influence of Renaissance.
B. To show the background of the discovery.
C. To introduce the revival of the philosophy.
D. To highlight the importance of the finding.
33. The expert’s words in paragraph 2 imply that ______.
A. he is cautious about the new techniques
B he just focuses on solving current problems
C. he is optimistic about the project’s potential
D. he stresses the ancient civilization preservation
34. What can be inferred about the project?
A. It focuses on locating Plato’s resting place.
B. It applies technology to reading ancient texts.
C. It has restored the content in the papyrus scroll.
D. It has reconstructed the texts with crosswords.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Locate Herculaneum’s Villa.
B. Scientists Explore Plato’s Academy Garden.
C. Technology Uncovers Plato’s Secrets.
D. Technology Casts Light on Plato’s Works.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
When I started my high school journey in an unfamiliar town, everything felt strange, from the sounds on the streets to the color of the sky. Loneliness was my constant companion, a reality that pained me deeply. I was floating in a sea of anxiety, lack of companionship.
Then, Emily entered my world. Our familiarity blossomed during my second week, perhaps because we sat close or had a shared task. I can’t remember how it began, but it changed everything. Emily’s warmth, humor, and approachability were a breath of fresh air. For the first time, I sensed a possibility of belonging.
However, the arrival of Jane, a girl in a wheelchair, broke my newfound balance. I first encountered her in class, who sat beside Emily, occupying my usual seat. Jane didn’t notice me, and I had to find another seat. It happened again and again, and I started to feel anxious. I told myself she was doing it on purpose, trying to push me out and take Emily away. But there’s a thing I had to admit that she always knew how to make people laugh.
I began to hate Jane. She seemed so comfortable and confident, making me feel small. I was upset that Emily didn’t notice my unease, and I felt like I was fighting to hold onto the only thing I had. I felt powerless, like I was standing on a shaky edge.
But then, Jane and I started talking. At first, it was just small talk during group discussions or quick hellos. She’d ask questions that bothered me, and I’d answer shortly, trying to end the conversation. But she’d let my words hang, waiting for me to fill the silence, and sometimes I did.
Gradually, our conversations became less unfriendly. Jane’s sharp wit and ability to command a room with her laughter started to grow on me. I found myself laughing along with the group, even when I tried to resist.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
An incident brought Jane close to me.

Emily also became the facilitator of our friendship.
