This is no ordinary rod.It's called the Rod of Asclepius.Asclepius was the son of Apollo, a 　2　 god in Greek and Roman mythology (希腊罗马神话)．He is usually 　3　 as an old man with a beard(络腮胡子), leaning(斜靠) on his rod. Apollo 　4　 Asclepius and taught him how to help humans treat illness.Asclepius became so 　5　 at it that he once brought a patient back from the dead.　6　, Zeus, the “King of the Gods”， was afraid that if humans could live forever, it would cause a lot of 　7　 for the gods.Because of this, Zeus killed Asclepius. Apollo was very angry and sad about this.He asked Zeus to 　8　 his dead son among the stars.Zeus agreed and 　9　 the constellation Ophiuchus (蛇夫星座)． But why is there a snake on Asclepius's rod？Was he a big fan of snakes？One 　10　 is that the snake stands for a snakebite, which was one of the most 　11　 hurts in ancient times.Snakebites were very hard to 　12　, but Asclepius had the power to heal(治愈) them. There are also other explanations.Whether they are true or not, Asclepius's “snake rod” has 　13　 become a universal(全球通用的) symbol of health, treatment, care, and 　14　 around the world.It has stayed this way until today.That's 　15　 you can see it in the logos of these medical organizations and many others.It reminds us of the power of healing. 1．A．celebrating B．greeting C．resting D．recalling 2．A.awful B．musical C．painless D．powerful 3．A.drawn B．served C．treated D．used 4．A.laid B．raised C．prevented D．guarded 5．A.hopeless B．skilled C．shocked D．surprised 6．A.However B．So C．Therefore D．Then 7．A.brands B．condition C．manners D．trouble 8．A.record B．regard C．search D．place 9．A.gave him out B．turned him into C．woke him up D．set him off 10．A.explanation B．invention C．conversation D．instruction 11．A.basic B．caring C．feared D．peaceful 12．A.accept B．avoid C．treat D．explain 13．A.uncomfortably B．unsafely C．unluckily D．undoubtedly 14．A.influence B．medicine C．victory D．progress 15．A.because B．why C．whether D．wherever 二、阅读理解 (共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读以下三篇短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。 A Are you an eco-warrior？The summer holidays are the perfect time to get outdoors and discover ways to protect the planet.Sistema is calling on everyone who wants to help the Earth to take part in their competition. Ask a grown-up to help and 10 lucky eco-warriors could win a bundle(包) worth ￡648 with two eco-friendly lunch boxes. How to Enter： •Head to a nearby river or beach with a grown-up. •Go litter picking. •Take a picture or video or do a drawing of your picking task. •Ask your grown-up to post it on their social media with #PickUp. Plastic Pollution Every year in the UK, 14 million pieces of plastic end up in rivers.These are often carried out to seas, adding to at least 12 million tons of plastic.It can take centuries for this waste to break down, which seriously harms wildlife.

D．In a sports magazine. B “Where are you going this weekend？” “No idea.Maybe I'll climb the ‘twin mountains’ by the Huangpu River.” “Oh, don't forget your oxygen tanks (氧气罐)．” “Of course！” Does this conversation between my friends sound strange？After all, the two mountains aren't even 50 meters high.But it's meant to be difficult to understand.It's a way of joking about this new place—many people find it hard to understand the idea of building two “mountains” in Shanghai. Talking in a mixed-up way or talking “abstractly(抽象地)” is now popular with young people.But for me, it's nothing new. About twenty years ago, on my first day of middle school, I was considered “very different”. I had darker skin than anyone they'd ever met, my Chinese classmates pointed out.I seldom spoke, but when I did, it was usually in English.To explain myself, I came up with an “abstract” reason：I came from an alien(外星的) planet.Everyone on my planet has dark skin.We communicate through telepathy(心灵感应), but of course, English is an international—or interplanetary—language. My classmates were excited to have an “alien” among them.Over time, I developed an “alien party” to share secret “alien” stories.Even my teachers heard about my “home planet”. Of course, they knew it was all a joke.Since I meant no harm, they just let me have my fun. I stopped acting like an “alien” when I reached high school.By that age, we were all grown-up enough to accept each other's differences.But I still liked to come up with jokes, and so did my friends.Some of our jokes were “abstract” and didn't make much sense, but they did help us deal with stress. This fun-loving spirit has stayed with me.What do I do when I miss the last bus home after a long day at work？Well, I just get on a shared bike and ride fifteen kilometers.Who knows? If I keep biking like this every day until I stop working at the age of 63, maybe I'll make it to the Olympics. 21．What does the conversation in the beginning show us? A．A new building in Shanghai. B．A way of joking about something. C．The importance of using oxygen tanks. D．People's advice on plans for weekends. 22．How did the writer deal with his being different from others? A．By making up an “abstract” reason. B．By joking about his darker skin. C．By communicating through telepathy. D．By avoiding talking with others in English. 23．Why did the writer stop acting like an “alien” in high school? A．Because everyone knew it was all a joke. B．Because he and his classmates had grown up. C．Because he realized it didn't make much sense. D．Because he and his classmates could talk in English. 24．What does the writer want to tell us through the text? A．Telling jokes with friends is a fun way to pass the time. B．Everyone may meet something unexpected in their life. C．With a fun-loving spirit, we can face our problems more easily. D．Talking “abstractly” is getting more and more popular with young people. 25．What's the best title for the text? A．My Happy Childhood B．My Great Olympic Dreams C．An Interplanetary Language D．A Teenager from Outer Space C With the rapid development of technology, China's aerospace industry (航空航天工业) has achieved remarkable achievements that have gained worldwide attention. The Shenzhou-19 manned spacecraft was launched(发射) on October 30th, 2024, at 4：27 a.m.Song Lingdong was one of the astronauts on this mission(任务)． Born into a farmer's family in Caoxian, Shandong Province, Song was recruited(招募) by the People's Liberation Army Air Force (中国人民解放军空军) in 2008 and was sent to learn flying. In the first months at the Air Force's flight school, Song had bad scores on his tests because of long-time malnutrition(营养不良)．He also went through a hard time flying in the training machine for the first time because of airsickness(晕机)． Knowing clearly about his weaknesses, Song decided to rely on hard work and strict training to overcome them.He soon became the only student in his class who always appeared on the exercise field and often asked the trainers to double the amount of his training.Thanks to his hard work, he received the top score in his solo flight examination and was praised for his excellent performance. Song Lingdong said that, when he was just 13, he watched a TV news report about China's first spaceflight. ▲ In September 2020, he was chosen as one of the third group of astronauts and began his training in Beijing.Later, Song found he was troubled by his character—being impatient.He soon realized that what a successful astronaut really needed was calmness and team spirit.He learned to slow down and even started going fishing to improve his patience. Now, with the launch of Shenzhou-19, his dream has come true. 26.What's the purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A．To provide the background. B．To tell a story. C．To compare differences.

A．a－①；b－②；c－③ B．a－①；b－③；c－② C．a－②；b－③；c－① D．a－③；b－①；c－② 28．What does the underlined word “weaknesses” refer to (指代)? A．Impatience. B．Calmness. C．A lack of team spirit. D．Long-time malnutrition and airsickness. 29．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 6? A．He wanted to be a famous actor. B．That made him want to fly into space. C．That made him very interested in learning. D．He thought the news report was very true. 30．Which of the following can best describe Song's experience? A．长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。 B．黑发不知勤学早，白首方悔读书迟。 C．读书不觉已春深，一寸光阴一寸金。 D．江东子弟多才俊，卷土重来未可知。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余) A report from Baidu shared with the Global Times showed that there are 300 fully driverless taxis called robotaxis(萝卜快跑) working in Wuhan.　31　 As for now, the fully autonomous(自动) driving tests have been carried out in 11 cities, such as: Beijing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen and Shanghai.
