At 33, I brought my specialty to the world stage at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympics (残奥会). My journey began when I was selected for wheelchair repair at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympics. I returned for the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics, and by the time Paris rolled around, all this earned me a place on the team once again. Much like the medical care provided to athletes, wheelchair repair ensures athletes can compete and live comfortably. The mission at this Summer Paralympics was demanding, with more events, and a greater variety of wheelchairs for athletes, and wheelchairs differ depending on the sport, requiring specific repairs based on how they’re used. For example, wheelchair basketball causes heavy wear and tear, while swimmers’ wheelchairs suffer from poolside exposure. After graduation, being a mechanical engineering major, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. While many of my classmates pursued traditional paths in the mechanical industry, I chose a different route: committing my skills to serving individuals with disabilities. Witnessing their toughness, I saw it as an opportunity to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, and an honor to assist them. On the field, athletes rely on their devices to compete; off the field, these devices help them live comfortably and move freely. Now, I have taken on a new initiative, which is aimed at empowering individuals with disabilities by training them to repair their own wheelchairs and developing a sense of community support. When a wheelchair stops working, it’s often much more challenging for someone with a disability to go out and find a repair shop compared to able-bodied individuals. So I aim to teach them simple repair techniques, enabling them to assist one another with basic fixes. 4. Why was the author invited to join the Paris repair team? A. He had practical experience. B. He was absorbed in wheelchairs. C. He was a distinguished doctor. D. He competed in the Paralympics. 5. What made the task of repairing wheelchairs in Paris challenging? A. A wider range of sport use. B. A larger number of athletes. C. The complexity of wheelchairs. D. The intensity of certain sports. 6. Which of the following best deseribes the author? A. Creative and brave. B. Committed and caring. C. Humble and determined. D. Ambitious and competitive. 7. How does the new project serve the community? A. By developing special repair techniques. B. By opening more self-service repair shops. C. By boosting independence and cooperation. D. By getting across the value of self-support. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者作为一位“轮椅医生”的经历与贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My journey began when I was selected for wheelchair repair at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympics. I returned for the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics, and by the time Paris rolled around, all this earned me a place on the team once again. (在2018年平昌冬季残奥会上，我被选为轮椅维修员，从此开始了我的旅程。我回到北京参加了2022年冬季残奥会，到巴黎奥运会的时候，所有这些都让我再次成为了队里的一员。)” 可知，作者因为在 2018 年平昌冬季残奥会和 2022 年北京冬季残奥会上有轮椅维修的实际经验，所以获得了参加巴黎残奥会轮椅维修团队的机会，故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The mission at this Summer Paralympics was demanding, with more events, and a greater variety of wheelchairs for athletes, and wheelchairs differ depending on the sport, requiring specific repairs based on how they’re used. For example, wheelchair basketball causes heavy wear and tear, while swimmers’ wheelchairs suffer from poolside exposure. (今年夏季残奥会的任务要求很高，项目更多，运动员使用的轮椅种类也更多，而轮椅因运动项目而异，需要根据使用方式进行特定的维修。例如，轮椅篮球会造成严重的磨损，而游泳者的轮椅则会受到池边暴露的影响。)” 可知，运动项目多，运动员使用的轮椅种类也更多，轮椅因运动项目而异，需要根据使用方式进行特定的维修，所以更广泛的运动用途让在巴黎修理轮椅的任务充满挑战，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“While many of my classmates pursued traditional paths in the mechanical industry, I chose a different route: committing my skills to serving individuals with disabilities. Witnessing their toughness, I saw it as an opportunity to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, and an honor to assist them. (当我的许多同学在机械行业走传统道路时，我选择了一条不同的道路：将我的技能用于为残疾人服务。看到他们的坚韧，我认为这是一个改善残疾人生活的机会，也是帮助他们的荣幸。)”可知，作者选择致力于为残疾人服务，故推断他有奉献精神；根据最后一段“Now, I have taken on a new initiative, which is aimed at empowering individuals with disabilities by training them to repair their own wheelchairs and developing a sense of community support. (现在，我发起了一项新的倡议，旨在通过培训残疾人修理自己的轮椅来增强他们的能力，并培养他们对社区支持的意识。)”可知他发起新计划，旨在培训残疾人自己修理轮椅，帮助他们增强独立性和社区支持感，可推断作者关心他人，故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, I have taken on a new initiative, which is aimed at empowering individuals with disabilities by training them to repair their own wheelchairs and developing a sense of community support. When a wheelchair stops working, it’s often much more challenging for someone with a disability to go out and find a repair shop compared to able-bodied individuals. So I aim to teach them simple repair techniques, enabling them to assist one another with basic fixes. (现在，我发起了一项新的倡议，旨在通过培训残疾人修理自己的轮椅来增强他们的能力，并培养他们对社区支持的意识。当轮椅停止工作时，与健全的人相比，残疾人出去找维修店往往更具挑战性。所以我的目标是教他们简单的修理技术，使他们能够互相帮助进行基本的修理。)”可知，新计划通过培训残疾人自己修理轮椅增强他们的独立性，并且让他们互相帮助进行基本修理，培养社区支持感，也就是促进了合作，故选C。 C Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter. Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution (进化) has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another? Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini -trends to emerge and die out within weeks.” People all find trends elicit a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them. No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward-positive input from members of their social circles-during midlife. 8. Why do people follow trends blindly? A. Trends are difficult to resist. B. They’re driven by mental trouble. C. They desire social connection D. Trends show humans’ basic needs. 9. What does Rutledge think of social media? A. It is the birthplace of trends. B. It facilitates the spread of trends. C. It has undergone a big change D. It is a vital part of human evolution. 10. What does the underlined part “elicit a pull” mean in paragraph 3? A. have appeal. B. change relationship C. bring harm. D. represent influence. 11. What change comes with people growing older? A. They stop following trends. B. They have a strong social identity. C. They seek a larger social circle. D. They care less about interacting ways. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人们盲目跟风的现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs.(人类天生就很想融入人群，所以他们经常忽略潜在的风险。盲目跟风并不是性格软弱或精神健康有问题的表现。相反，心理学家Pamela B. Rutledge说，这是完全正常的。这与一个心理学概念有关，该概念指的是人类属于一个社会群体并与他人建立联系的核心需求。它被认为是人类的基本需求之一）可知，人们盲目跟风是因为他们渴望社会联系。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another? Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini -trends to emerge and die out within weeks.(社交媒体是否改变了人类向彼此传达社会状况的方式？鲁特利奇说，不完全是。“相反，它确实让某些潮流的传播速度比以往更快、更远。以时尚为例：过去，潮流从时装秀场走向大众需要数年时间，而现在社交媒体让小潮流在几周内就出现并消失”)”可知，鲁特利奇认为社交媒体促进了潮流的传播。故选B。 10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“People all find trends elicit a pull , and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them.(人们都发现潮流会“elicit a pull”，心理学家已经找出了原因。鲁特利奇建议，这还是要归咎于进化。“我们的大脑天生就会注意到不寻常的事物，” 她说。“如果某件事不寻常，而其他人都在做，我们就必须去了解一下。” 因此，我们会注意到那些引人注目的事物，这让人们有更多理由去追随潮流)”可知，潮流对人们有吸引力，人们才会去关注。“elicit a pull” 意思是有吸引力。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts.(确实，社会关注度因年龄而异，与年轻人相比，老年人不太关注他们与他人的交流方式以及与他人的联系)”可知，随着人们年龄的增长，他们对互动方式的关注减少了。故选D。 D Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards. Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet. 12. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars. C. The potential market for flying cars. D. The designers of the Transition. 13. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways? A. It causers traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It is very expensive. D. It burns too much fuel. 14 What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car? A. Cautious B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s First Flight C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述Terrafugia公司，研制出了飞车，试飞成功，预计将于明年进行销售。本文主要对飞车的历史由来及其构架进行了介绍。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“The wehicle-named the Transition – has two seats wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.”可知，本段主要是对Transition的构架进行了介绍。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000”可知，因为Transition的价格较高，所以不太可能在太多的马路上出现。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“he government has already permitted z&xxkthe company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly”以及“Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft”可知，政府对于飞车的研发是比较支持的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。浏览全文，主要从飞车的试飞成功、飞车的构架以及多年以前人们对飞车的设想至今成为现实展开论述。根据“Terrafugia Inc .said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight”飞车试飞成功，“But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality”Mann认为Terrafugia研制出的飞车比任何人都更接近现实。故选D。 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。 Pantomime (哑剧) is a form of dramatic entertainment that uses facial expressions and body movements to communicate, rather than speech and dialogue. ____16____ Nowadays, this art form of physical expression is popular in many different locations in theaters, street performances, and dance studios. The term “pantomime” is often interchangeable with the word “mime”. ____17____ Regardless of which word is used and what it refers to, performances are often placed into two style categories: the silent story and the narrative (叙事的) story. Narrative stories require the performer to silently act out a scene presented by a narrator. In these performances, the actors may be required to change their facial expressions to show different emotions described by the narrator, or they may have to use their body to describe movements in a variety of environments and settings. Silent stories are similar in the way the actors perform. ____18____ So it may require extra movements by the actors or audience interaction. In the sixth century B. C., pantomime was usually a small part of a large production that also included music and paintings. Dancers were frequently used as the physical interpretation of a song. ____19____ Over time, pantomime gained and lost popularity, but became a main part of operatic acts in England during the 1600s. Despite this, modern pantomimes did not come into existence until sometime in the 1800s. ____20____ For example, women often play male roles, while men regularly play female characters, the audience is encouraged to participate, and actors may be seen playing several characters in addition to their musical duties. A. Pantomimes are usually meant for children. B. It was only seen in ancient Greece originally. C. The success of pantomimes depends heavily on the performers. D. Both of them can describe either the performance or the performer. E. To do this, they would express the words through dramatic movements. F. However, there’s no narrator to express what is happening in the story. G. Pantomime productions have developed some loosely followed conventions. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. F 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍哑剧的表现形式、分类、发展历史及现代哑剧特点。 【16题详解】 上文“Pantomime (哑剧) is a form of dramatic entertainment that uses facial expressions and body movements to communicate, rather than speech and dialogue.(哑剧是一种戏剧娱乐形式，它使用面部表情和身体动作进行交流，而不是语言和对话)”介绍了哑剧的定义，下文“Nowadays, this art form of physical expression is popular in many different locations in theaters, street performances, and dance studios.(如今，这种肢体表达的艺术形式在剧院、街头表演和舞蹈工作室等许多不同的地方都很受欢迎)”说明哑剧如今的流行情况，由此推知，空处应还是在介绍哑剧，且可能与其出现的地点有关，B选项“It was only seen in ancient Greece originally.(它最初只在古希腊出现)”将哑剧过去的起源与下文如今的流行形成时间上的对比，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“The term“pantomime” is often interchangeable with the word “mime”.(“pantomime” 这个词通常可以与 “mime” 互换)” 提到 “pantomime” 和 “mime” 可互换，下文“Regardless of which word is used and what it refers to, performances are often placed into two style categories: the silent story and the narrative (叙事的) story.(无论使用哪个词以及它指的是什么，表演通常被归为两种风格类别：无声故事和叙事故事。)”紧接的是“无论使用哪个词以及它所指的是什么”，由此可知，空处内容应仍是关于“pantomime”和“mime”这两个词的，D选项“Both of them can describe either the performance or the performer.(它们都可以描述表演或表演者)”中的“Both of them”指代上文的“pantomime”和“mime”，进一步说明这两个词的共性，承接上文，符合语境。故选D项。 【18题详解】 上文“Narrative stories require the performer to silently act out a scene presented by a narrator. In these performances, the actors may be required to change their facial expressions to show different emotions described by the narrator, or they may have to use their body to describe movements in a variety of environments and settings. Silent stories are similar in the way the actors perform.(叙事故事要求表演者默默地表演由叙述者呈现的场景。在这些表演中，演员可能需要改变面部表情来表现叙述者描述的不同情感，或者他们可能需要用身体来描述在各种环境和场景中的动作。无声故事在演员的表演方式上与之类似)”介绍了叙事故事的表演特点，并引出下文无声故事的特点，下文“So it may require extra movements by the actors or audience interaction.(所以这可能需要演员的额外动作或观众的互动)”说明了无声故事的特别之处，由此可知，空处内容应与区别有关，F选项“However, there’s no narrator to express what is happening in the story.(然而，没有叙述者来讲述故事中发生的事情)”指出无声故事与叙事故事的不同在于没有叙述者，与上文形成转折，又能引出下文演员需要额外动作或观众互动来弥补没有叙述者的情况，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“In the sixth century B. C., pantomime was usually a small part of a large production that also included music and paintings. Dancers were frequently used as the physical interpretation of a song.(在公元前 6 世纪，哑剧通常是大型演出的一小部分，其中还包括音乐和绘画。舞蹈演员经常被用来对歌曲进行肢体诠释)”介绍了古代哑剧的情况，由此可知，空处可能承接上文，描述舞者如何进行这种诠释，E选项“To do this, they would express the words through dramatic movements.(为了做到这一点，他们会通过戏剧性的动作来表达歌词)” 中的“To do this”承接上文“dancers were frequently used as the physical interpretation of a song”，说明舞蹈演员如何用肢体诠释歌曲，符合语境。故选E项。 【20题详解】 下文“For example, women often play male roles, while men regularly play female characters, the audience is encouraged to participate, and actors may be seen playing several characters in addition to their musical duties.(例如，女性经常扮演男性角色，而男性经常扮演女性角色，观众被鼓励参与其中，演员除了承担音乐职责外，还可能扮演多个角色)”通过具体例子介绍了现代哑剧的一些惯例，此空处为本段的主题句，G选项“Pantomime productions have developed some loosely followed conventions.(哑剧作品已经形成了一些人们大致遵循的惯例)”总述现代哑剧形成了一些惯例，引出下文的具体例子，符合语境。故选G项。 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。 Rob made ends meet for his family as a handyman, doing odd jobs around the area.

When Beth saw that piano for the first time, she was playing with her friends. The beautiful sound flowing from the large pink piano immediately caught their attention. Turning around and seeing the charming piano decorated with golden birds, flowers, and trees that shone like stars, Beth was overwhelmed (充溢) with emotion. After knowing it was from her neighbor Mr. Laurence, who had just lost her little granddaughter, Beth resolved to express her gratitude in spite of her shyness and worry. Mr. Laurence had always been seen as a “scary man” by the children for he is so tall with beard on the face and a deep voice, seemingly unapproachable. “You’ll have to go and thank him,” said her sister Hannah by way of a joke, for the idea of the child’s really going never entered her head. “Yes, I mean to. I guess I’ll go now, before I get frightened thinking about it.” And, to the amazement of everyone present, Beth walked down the garden, through the fence, and in Laurence’s through the door. “Well, it is the strangest thing I ever see!” cried Hannah, staring after her, while the other children were made quite speechless by her unexpected act. They would have been still more amazed if they had seen what Beth did afterward. She went and knocked at the study door before she gave herself time to think. When a deep voice called out “Come in”, she entered, right up to Mr. Laurence, who looked quite surprised, and held out her hand, saying, with only a small quake in her voice, “I came to thank you, sir, for the piano...” But she didn’t finish, for he looked so sad and friendly that she forgot what she intended to say and, only remembering that he had lost the little girl he loved, she put both arms round him and hugged him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Mr. Laurence was so touched and pleased. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The children were so surprised to see Mr. Laurence walk Beth home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】佳作展台 Mr. Laurence was so touched and pleased. He just set her on his knee, feeling as if he had got his granddaughter back again. “Thank you, child. If you’d like, we could play the piano together,” he said warmly. Beth did not fear him at all from that moment; she nodded and then talked to him freely as if they had been old friends. When it was time for Beth to leave, Mr. Laurence offered to walk with her to her own gate. The children were so surprised to see Mr. Laurence walk Beth home. Before Mr. Laurence went back home, he shook hands with Beth. The children were numb with shock at the sight with their eyes wide open. But Beth felt a surge of pride. She had not only conquered her fear but corrected the misunderstanding about Mr. Laurence in the gentlest way. Since then, Mr. Laurence and Beth often played the piano together and the children visited the old gentleman from time to time, brightening up all of their days. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本篇文章以时间和故事发展为线索展开，讲述了五岁的Beth从邻居劳伦斯先生那里收到了一架他已故孙女的粉红色钢琴作为礼物。得知此事后，Beth决定克服害羞和担忧，向劳伦斯先生表达感谢。尽管他外表高大、声音低沉，给人难以接近的印象，Beth还是勇敢地走进他的家，向他表示感谢，并给了他一个拥抱。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“劳伦斯先生非常感动和高兴。”可知，第一段可描写Mr. Laurence对见到Beth时反应、感激之情以及他们之间如何建立起初步的联系。 ② 由第二段首句内容“孩子们看到劳伦斯先生送贝丝回家时，感到非常惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写其他孩子们对Mr. Laurence和Beth之间友谊的惊讶，以及Beth如何纠正了他们对Mr. Laurence的误解。 2. 续写线索：感激——建立联系——惊讶——纠正误解——友谊 词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：set/place ②提供：offer/provide ③陪伴走路：walk with sb/accompany sb ④战胜恐惧：conquer fear/overcome fear 情绪类 ①感动：touched/moved ②高兴：pleased/happy ③感到震惊：feel shocked/astounded 【点睛】【高分句型1】When it was time for Beth to leave, Mr. Laurence offered to walk with her to her own gate.

B If a wheelchair breaks down, it’s like a body catching a cold. For me, a “wheelchair doctor”, identifying these issues has become second nature. At 33, I brought my specialty to the world stage at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympics (残奥会). My journey began when I was selected for wheelchair repair at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympics. I returned for the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics, and by the time Paris rolled around, all this earned me a place on the team once again. Much like the medical care provided to athletes, wheelchair repair ensures athletes can compete and live comfortably. The mission at this Summer Paralympics was demanding, with more events, and a greater variety of wheelchairs for athletes, and wheelchairs differ depending on the sport, requiring specific repairs based on how they’re used. For example, wheelchair basketball causes heavy wear and tear, while swimmers’ wheelchairs suffer from poolside exposure. After graduation, being a mechanical engineering major, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. While many of my classmates pursued traditional paths in the mechanical industry, I chose a different route: committing my skills to serving individuals with disabilities. Witnessing their toughness, I saw it as an opportunity to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, and an honor to assist them. On the field, athletes rely on their devices to compete; off the field, these devices help them live comfortably and move freely. Now, I have taken on a new initiative, which is aimed at empowering individuals with disabilities by training them to repair their own wheelchairs and developing a sense of community support. When a wheelchair stops working, it’s often much more challenging for someone with a disability to go out and find a repair shop compared to able-bodied individuals. So I aim to teach them simple repair techniques, enabling them to assist one another with basic fixes. 4. Why was the author invited to join the Paris repair team? A. He had practical experience. B. He was absorbed in wheelchairs. C. He was a distinguished doctor. D. He competed in the Paralympics. 5. What made the task of repairing wheelchairs in Paris challenging? A. A wider range of sport use. B. A larger number of athletes. C. The complexity of wheelchairs. D. The intensity of certain sports. 6. Which of the following best deseribes the author? A. Creative and brave. B. Committed and caring. C. Humble and determined. D. Ambitious and competitive. 7. How does the new project serve the community? A. By developing special repair techniques. B. By opening more self-service repair shops. C. By boosting independence and cooperation. D. By getting across the value of self-support. C Humans are so hardwired to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter. Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution (进化) has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another? Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini -trends to emerge and die out within weeks.” People all find trends elicit a pull and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them. No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward-positive input from members of their social circles-during midlife. 8. Why do people follow trends blindly? A. Trends are difficult to resist. B. They’re driven by mental trouble. C. They desire social connection D. Trends show humans’ basic needs. 9. What does Rutledge think of social media? A. It is the birthplace of trends. B. It facilitates the spread of trends. C. It has undergone a big change D. It is a vital part of human evolution. 10. What does the underlined part “elicit a pull” mean in paragraph 3? A. have appeal. B. change relationship C. bring harm. D. represent influence. 11. What change comes with people growing older? A. They stop following trends. B. They have a strong social identity. C. They seek a larger social circle. D. They care less about interacting ways. D Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.

When Beth saw that piano for the first time, she was playing with her friends. The beautiful sound flowing from the large pink piano immediately caught their attention. Turning around and seeing the charming piano decorated with golden birds, flowers, and trees that shone like stars, Beth was overwhelmed (充溢) with emotion. After knowing it was from her neighbor Mr. Laurence, who had just lost her little granddaughter, Beth resolved to express her gratitude in spite of her shyness and worry. Mr. Laurence had always been seen as a “scary man” by the children for he is so tall with beard on the face and a deep voice, seemingly unapproachable. “You’ll have to go and thank him,” said her sister Hannah by way of a joke, for the idea of the child’s really going never entered her head. “Yes, I mean to. I guess I’ll go now, before I get frightened thinking about it.” And, to the amazement of everyone present, Beth walked down the garden, through the fence, and in Laurence’s through the door. “Well, it is the strangest thing I ever see!” cried Hannah, staring after her, while the other children were made quite speechless by her unexpected act. They would have been still more amazed if they had seen what Beth did afterward. She went and knocked at the study door before she gave herself time to think. When a deep voice called out “Come in”, she entered, right up to Mr. Laurence, who looked quite surprised, and held out her hand, saying, with only a small quake in her voice, “I came to thank you, sir, for the piano...” But she didn’t finish, for he looked so sad and friendly that she forgot what she intended to say and, only remembering that he had lost the little girl he loved, she put both arms round him and hugged him. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Mr. Laurence was so touched and pleased. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The children were so surprised to see Mr. Laurence walk Beth home. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
