As they traveled along the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, traffic came to a sudden stop, and Chief Healy noticed a serious accident ahead. Recognizing the signs of a fire, Healy sprang into action. “I jumped out of the car and started running up the highway,” he stated. Healy arrived at the scene to find two vehicles involved in the crash, with debris (碎片) spread across the road. The engine compartment of one car was covered in flames (火焰), and the fire was spreading rapidly. With the passenger door caved in and the fire intensifying, Healy quickly assessed the situation and realized that a man was unconscious in the back seat. As the fire grew more dangerous, Healy, along with a police officer who had arrived on the scene, broke the driver’s side window and managed to open the door. Healy climbed into the back seat to find the man trapped in his seat belt, completely unconscious. The car was filling with smoke, and the fire threatened to consume the entire vehicle. “The situation was rapidly worsening,” Healy said. “If I didn’t remove him in fairly short order, the fire was going to consume the car.” With the help of the police officer, Healy successfully freed the man and pulled him from the burning car, just in time. “I’ve been doing this for 34 years. I knew there was no one there and if we didn’t do something about this, the person wasn’t going to get out,” said Chief Healy. “When I went back to my car, a couple of other drivers approached me and said ‘Man, you ran into that, what’ s wrong with you?’ and I’m like, ‘I’m a New York City firefighter; that’s what New York City firefighters do’.” 4. What was Healy doing when he saw the accident? A. Returning home after visiting Disney. B. Driving his family to a park. C. Taking a bus towards his office. D. Sitting and talking with his friend. 5. What can be used to describe the scene in paragraph 2? A. Terrifying. B. Noticeable. C. Minor. D. Repairable. 6. How did Healy help the passenger out of the burning car? A. By opening the door and called him out. B. By asking the police officer to help him out. C. By getting into the car and pulling him out. D. By putting off the fire and opening the door. 7. What does Healy think of his saving the passenger? A. It was his duty to do so. B. It was an occasional event. C. He was afraid of his deeds. D. He felt grateful to the passenger. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述消防员Healy在带家人去迪斯尼乐园的路上，注意到前方发生车祸，Healy赶紧施救，在一位警察的帮助下把被困人员从燃烧的车中救出。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段 “Early Monday morning, Deputy Chief George Healy, who has devoted 34 years of service to the city, was beginning an 18-hour drive to Disney with his family. As they traveled along the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, traffic came to a sudden stop, and Chief Healy noticed a serious accident ahead.(周一清晨，为这座城市服务了34年的副消防长Geogre Healy正开始和家人进行一次长达 18 小时的开车去迪士尼的行程。当他们沿着布鲁克林的带状公园路行驶时，交通突然停下，Healy警长注意到前方发生了一起严重事故。）可推知，Healy看到事故时正在开车带家人去公园。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 “Healy arrived at the scene to find two vehicles involved in the crash, with debris (碎片) spread across the road. The engine compartment of one car was covered in flames (火焰), and the fire was spreading rapidly.(Healy到达现场，发现有两辆车卷入事故，碎片散落在马路上。其中一辆车的发动机舱被火焰覆盖，火势正在迅速蔓延)”可知，第二段描述的场景是可怕的。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 “As the fire grew more dangerous, Healy, along with a police officer who had arrived on the scene, broke the driver’s side window and managed to open the door. Healy climbed into the back seat to find the man trapped in his seat belt, completely unconscious.(随着火势变得越来越危险，Healy和一名赶到现场的警察打破了驾驶座的侧窗，并设法打开了车门。希利爬进后座，发现那个男人被安全带困住了，完全失去了知觉)” 以及第四段 “With the help of the police officer, Healy successfully freed the man and pulled him from the burning car, just in time.(在那名警察的帮助下，希利成功地解救了那名男子，并及时将他从燃烧的汽车中拉了出来)”可知，希利是爬进车里把乘客拉出来的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “I’m a New York City firefighter; that’s what New York City firefighters do.(我是一名纽约市消防员；这就是纽约市消防员该做的事)”可知，希利认为救乘客是他的职责。故选A。 C Body language can be a very powerful tool, no matter the size of the audience. Whether it is two people or two hundred people, body language can directly influence how audience members see a speaker or respond to what is being said. Body language has the power to influence the audience’s feelings and even change minds. Therefore, it is always important to be mindful of the “saying” when engaging with different audiences. Within interpersonal exchanges, body language can contain many different emotions or signals. By ensuring that a person’s body language is “consistent” with their emotional state, someone can create a safe environment for conversation to happen. If one’s body language is inconsistent with their emotional state, this might leave an audience feeling uncomfortable, put off, or on edge. They won’t know what to expect from that person. For example, a person might want to make a listener feel “comfortable” and “laid back” during a conversation. If this is the goal, they will avoid having “closed-off” or “unfriendly” body language, such as avoiding eye contact or crossing their arms. To make somebody feel more comfortable within a conversation, someone should focus on being “open” with their posture (姿势). They should relax their face and make sure to hold the listener’s attention and face the listener in an “open” position (e.g. with arms at their sides and slightly leaning (倾斜) towards the listener). More importantly, body language can influence whether or not an audience feels confident or trusting of a speaker’s expertise. If a speaker’s body language comes across as being “nervous” or “hesitant”, then an audience might not take what they are saying seriously or be less likely to believe them or find them credible. In summary, body language plays a key role in speaking. Effective use of body language can also enhance the speaker’s message and engage the audience. On the contrary, poor body language can detract from (影响) the speaker’s message and create a passive impression. Therefore, it is essential for speakers to pay attention to their body language and use it to their advantage when delivering a speech. 8. What does the underlined words “the ‘saying’” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Making a speech. B. A response. C. Body language. D. An inner voice. 9. What should persons do to create a sense of safety for a conversation? A Have lower expectations of their audience. B. Keep their body language true to their feelings. C. Remain emotionally consistent with the audience. D. Avoid exposing their inner emotions to the audience. 10. What might the act of crossing one’s arms lead to according to the text? A. Relaxation. B. Optimism. C. Tension. D. Doubt. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To offer suggestions on delivering a speech. B. To show the benefits of using body language. C. To point out improper types of body language. D. To remind us to be careful with body language. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了肢体语言在交流中的重要性。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Body language has the power to influence the audience’s feelings and even change minds.(肢体语言能够影响听众的感受，甚至改变他们的想法。)”可知，画线部分“the “saying””指代肢体语言。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“By ensuring that a person’s body language is “consistent” with their emotional state, someone can create a safe environment for conversation to happen.(通过确保一个人的肢体语言与他们的情绪状态“一致”，就可以为谈话创造一个安全的环境。)”可知，如果想要为对话营造一种安全感，那么说话的人的肢体语言应该忠实于他们的情感状态。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For example, a person might want to make a listener feel “comfortable” and “laid back” during a conversation. If this is the goal, they will avoid having “closed-off” or “unfriendly” body language, such as avoiding eye contact or crossing their arms.(例如，一个人可能想让听者在谈话中感到“舒适”和“悠闲”。如果这是目标，他们会避免“封闭”或“不友好”的肢体语言，比如避免眼神交流或交叉双臂。)”可知，交叉手臂可能会导致紧张气氛。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Therefore, it is always important to be mindful of the “saying” when engaging with different audiences.(因此，在与不同的观众互动时，注意“说法”总是很重要的。)”和最后一段“In summary, body language plays a key role in speaking. Effective use of body language can also enhance the speaker’s message and engage the audience. On the contrary, poor body language can detract from (影响) the speaker’s message and create a passive impression. Therefore, it is essential for speakers to pay attention to their body language and use it to their advantage when delivering a speech.(总之，肢体语言在讲话中起着关键作用。有效地使用肢体语言也可以增强演讲者的信息并吸引听众。相反，拙劣的肢体语言会分散说话人的信息，给人一种被动的印象。因此，演讲者必须注意自己的肢体语言，并在演讲时利用它来发挥自己的优势。)”可知，作者写这篇文章旨在提醒我们要注意正确使用肢体语言。故选D。 D China says its maglev hyperloop train (磁悬浮超级高铁列车) has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a surprising 623 km/h. Eventually, its makers want to build a train more than three times as fast as one that will break the sound barrier and run faster than airplanes. The maglev train, named the T-Flight, was built by the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), New Atlas reported. Hyperloop trains work by pushing MLP (磁悬浮吊舱) through tunnels with very little air resistance. The previous record holder for the fastest maglev train is the L0 Series SCMaglev in Japan, according to JRPass, which can hit a top speed of 603 km/h. To test the new train, CASIC built a track roughly 2 kilometers long in a low-pressure vacuum (真空) tube. To reach such high speeds, the trains must encounter almost no friction (摩擦). So CASIC smoothed the test track to a flatness with a 0.3 millimeters tolerance, meaning there is a 0.01-inch difference between the lowest and highest point of the flat surface. The 20-foot-wide tunnel also has geometric size error of less than 2 mm, meaning the margin of error (误差幅度) against a perfect shape. The entire pipeline can return to normal pressure in five minutes, which shows its surprisingly-restored ability. In the T-Flight’s second phase of testing, CASIC aims to extend the track to 60 km and allow the train to reach 1,000 km/h. At this theoretical top speed, the maglev train would be even faster than a passenger jet, which travels at an average range between 925 km/h and 966 km/h, according to Simple Flying. The company’s ambitions don’t stop there, however, with plans for a connection between Wuhan and Beijing that can reach up to 2,000 km/h, according to a video from 2018. Hyperloop systems can move vehicles at speeds much faster than conventional trains — most of which are restricted to 95 km/h in the U. S. Elon Musk first proposed a hyperloop system for the U. S. in 2013, but more than a decade later, Musk’s vision has yet to see the light of day. As one of the biggest companies in the industry, Virgin shut down its own hyperloop company, which most recently went by the name Virgin Hyperloop in 2023. 12. What do we know about hyperloop trains from the first two paragraphs? A. China’s T-Flight outpaces airplanes. B. T-Flight outspeeds SCMaglev by 20 km/h. C. The first hyperloop train is made in Japan. D. They can merely travel without air friction. 13. What is prepared for testing the T-Flight? A. A free-pressure tube. B. An absolute flat track. C. A perfectly-shaped tunnel. D. A quickly-recovered pipeline. 14. Which can be used to describe China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation? A. Ambitious and reliable. B. Conventional and practical. C. State-owned and conservative. D. Advanced and international. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. CASIC: A Promising Company B. China: A Country Leading the Trend C. T-Flight: A Potential Record-Breaker D. Hyperloop: A Globally Common Topic 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了中国在超高速列车技术领域最新研发的T-Flight列车测试创纪录，未来时速可达2000公里。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“China says its maglev hyperloop train (磁悬浮超级高铁列车) has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a surprising 623 km/h.(中国表示，其磁悬浮超级高铁列车在试运行中打破了世界速度纪录，达到了惊人的623公里/小时)”和第二段中“The previous record holder for the fastest maglev train is the L0 Series SCMaglev in Japan, according to JRPass, which can hit a top speed of 603 km/h.(据JRPass报道，此前最快磁悬浮列车的纪录保持者是日本的L0系列SCMaglev磁悬浮列车，最高时速可达603公里)”可知，T-Flight列车比SCMaglev列车的速度快20公里/小时，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To test the new train, CASIC built a track roughly 2 kilometers long in a low-pressure vacuum (真空) tube.(为了测试新列车，中国航天科工集团在低压真空管道中建造了一条大约2公里长的轨道)”和“The entire pipeline can return to normal pressure in five minutes, which shows its surprisingly-restored ability.(整个管道可以在五分钟内恢复正常压力，这显示了其令人惊讶的恢复能力)”可知，为了测试新列车准备了一条能快速恢复压力的管道，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Eventually, its makers want to build a train more than three times as fast as one that will break the sound barrier and run faster than airplanes.(最终，它的制造商想要建造一辆比一辆快三倍以上的火车，它将打破音障，跑得比飞机还快)”和第五段中“The company’s ambitions don’t stop there(该公司的野心并不止于此)”可知，中国航天科工集团有限公司很有野心；根据第一段中“China says its maglev hyperloop train (磁悬浮超级高铁列车) has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a surprising 623 km/h.(中国表示，其磁悬浮超级高铁列车在试运行中打破了世界速度纪录，达到了惊人的623公里/小时)”和最后一段中“Hyperloop systems can move vehicles at speeds much faster than conventional trains(超级高铁系统可以以比传统火车快得多的速度移动车辆)”可知，该公司建造的磁悬浮超级高铁列车运行速度比传统列车快得多，故该公司值得信赖，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“China says its maglev hyperloop train (磁悬浮超级高铁列车) has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a surprising 623 km/h.(中国表示，其磁悬浮超级高铁列车在试运行中打破了世界速度纪录，达到了惊人的623公里/小时)”可知，文章主要介绍了中国在超高速列车技术领域最新研发的T-Flight列车测试创纪录，未来时速可达2000公里，C项“T-Flight：一个潜在的破纪录者”最适合作为标题，故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Have you ever found yourself in a tricky situation where someone is acting wrongly? ___16___, but the fear of making matters worse holds you back. It’s a common problem we all face. Here are four useful tips to help you correct others nicely and gain their respect. First, stay calm when you correct someone. How you say things matters more than what you say. We often use our feelings to show we’re disappointed. ___17___. For example, would you listen to someone who’s shouting at you, or someone who’s calm? We’re all sensitive. If you’re emotional when you correct someone, they might get defensive. Second, focus on facts rather than opinions. Instead of saying someone is bad at something, tell them what you’ve seen them do. ___18___. Say “I saw three reports left on the desk”. This way, you’re not attacking them. It gives them a chance to explain, and it helps you have a more productive conversation. Third, correct people in private. ___19___. If you do, it might hurt their feelings and damage your relationship. Also, others might think less of you. Correcting someone in public can make you seem like a weak leader. Fourth, use the “sandwich” way. Start by saying something good about the person. Then, tell them what they need to change. End by saying something positive again. For example, “You did a great job on that project. But we need to be more careful with the numbers. I know you can do better next time”. ___20___. By following these tips, you can correct others in a better way. You’ll build better relationships and achieve better results. A. But this usually doesn’t work well B. This makes the correction easier to take C. For example, don’t say “You’re so careless” D. You might be eager to step in and set things right E. Opinions can sometimes be misleading and hurtful F. It’s better to just ignore the small mistakes of others G. Don’t do it in front of their friends or your workmates 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过四个实用技巧（保持冷静、关注事实、私下纠正、三明治法），提供了有效纠正他人错误的方法，以维护关系并获得尊重。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever found yourself in a tricky situation where someone is acting wrongly?(你有没有发现自己处于有人行为错误的棘手情况？)”以及下文“Here are four useful tips to help you correct others nicely and gain their respect.(这里有四个有用的建议，可以帮助你很好地纠正别人，赢得他们的尊重。)”可推知，此处指发现别人行为错误，想要纠正别人的错误，与空后“but the fear of making matters worse holds you back(但害怕把事情弄得更糟的恐惧会让你退缩)”构成转折关系，选项D“You might be eager to step in and set things right(你可能急于介入纠正)”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“We often use our feelings to show we’re disappointed (我们经常用情绪表达失望)”及下文“For example, would you listen to someone who’s shouting at you, or someone who’s calm? We’re all sensitive. If you’re emotional when you correct someone, they might get defensive.(例如，你会听一个对你大喊大叫的人，还是听一个冷静的人？我们都很敏感。如果你在纠正别人的时候情绪激动，他们可能会有抵触情绪)”可知，前文提到我们常用情绪表达失望，后文通过一个问题“会听一个对你大喊大叫的人，还是听一个冷静的人”为例说明情绪化方式的负面影响。由此推断此处指情绪化表达失望这一方式不起作用，选项A“But this usually doesn’t work well (但这种方法通常效果不佳)”符合语境，“this”指代上文中“use our feelings to show we’re disappointed”。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“focus on facts rather than opinions. Instead of saying someone is bad at something, tell them what you’ve seen them do. (关注事实而不是观点。与其说别人不擅长某件事，不如告诉他们你见过他们做过什么。)”强调要关注事实避免主观评价；选项C“For example, don’t say ‘You’re so careless (例如，不要说‘你太粗心了’)”以及下文“Say “I saw three reports left on the desk”(说‘我看到桌子上还留有三份报告’)”通过举例说明不要运用主观观点式批评，而是要运用陈述事实性的表达，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Third, correct people in private. (第三，私下里纠正别人。)”指出要私下纠正别人错误；后文“If you do, it might hurt their feelings and damage your relationship. Also, others might think less of you.(如果你这样做，可能会伤害他们的感情，破坏你们的关系。另外，别人可能会看轻你。)”陈述了公开纠正他人会产生的后果，选项G“Don’t do it in front of their friends or your workmates(不要当着他们的朋友或同事的面做)”呼应“私下纠正”的建议，符合语境，下文中“you do”指代选项中的“do it in front of their friends or your workmates”。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“use the “sandwich” way. Start by saying something good about the person. Then, tell them what they need to change. End by saying something positive again. For example, “You did a great job on that project. But we need to be more careful with the numbers. I know you can do better next time”.(用‘三明治’的方式。从说对方的好话开始。然后，告诉他们需要改变什么。最后再次说些积极的话。例如，‘你在那个项目上做得很好。但我们需要更加小心这些数字。我知道你下次可以做得更好。’)”建议“三明治法”，并通过举例来阐述如何使用“表扬——纠正——表扬”这一“三明治法”；选项B“This makes the correction easier to take(这让纠正更容易被接受)”承接上文，阐述“三明治法”的优势，符合语境。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On Saturday, Juliet and Darcy were enjoying sunshine at Furness Park when they noticed a man fall down on the sidewalk. They hurried to ____21____ the man. Darcy took a closer ____22____. Then she observed his chest not going up and down, which meant he wasn’t ____23____. The girls knew they needed to ____24____ help. While Darcy stayed with the ____25____ man, Juliet ran to nearby homes and began ringing doorbells, but no one ____26____. Juliet continued to run for help. She finally found some men fixing a car and told them the ____27____.

In this new installment, Ne Zha is reborn and faces even greater challenges and adventures. The story unfolds with Ne Zha’s unique powers and his unruly nature once again causing a stir. However, as the plot (情节)____38____(develop), he must confront (面对)his destiny and the forces of evil ____39____ threaten the world. With the help of his friends and family, Ne Zha embarks on (开始) a journey of self-discovery and ____40____(grow) , learning to control his powers and become a true hero.

Bilal, a teenager, was excited to finally have the free time to play video games on his PlayStation and endlessly surf the internet on his phone. The digital world was his playground, a place where he could escape into adventures and challenges that kept him entertained for hours on end. His parents were tired of always trying to stop him, constantly telling him that spending so much time online and on social media wasn’t good for his physical health. They worried about his eyesight and the lack of physical activity. But Bilal never listened. He was very addicted to the e-world. The appeal of virtual achievements and social interactions was too strong for him to resist. One day, after getting fed up, his mother discussed Bilal with his grandparents. “Is there any way we can get him away from this internet world?” she asked, her voice filled with desperation. His grandfather replied, “Yes, there is a way. I am planning to visit our village for a week. I am thinking of taking Bilal along. It will be a new experience for him to see a simple lifestyle. Besides, the internet signals are very bad there, so he won’t be able to stay online very often.” His mother was happy to hear this. “That’s a very good idea,” she replied, hopeful that this could be the turning point for Bilal. She excitedly went and shared it with Bilal, hoping he would be happy about going with his grandparents, but he refused, saying the trip would be boring without the internet. “How would I spend my days?” he complained. Just then his grandmother entered the room and explained calmly to him that it would be an exciting trip. She spoke of the beauty of nature, the joy of community, and the simple pleasures of life away from screens. She told him stories of the village, of the stars at night and the fresh air that filled the lungs with life. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右;2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Two days later, Bilal’s grandparents started their journey. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week passed quickly and it was time for Bilal to return. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Two days later, Bilal’s grandparents started their journey. Bilal went along with them. After arriving at their old house, which was large and open, they had dinner with their relatives. The next morning. Bilal went to the fields, where the farmers greeted him warmly. Bilal wandered around the fields full of beautiful flowers and fruit trees. He explored the cotton fields, learning how farmers harvest the crops. He also participated in the work. Additionally, Bilal made friends with the village children and played outdoor games. He felt so interested in the new experience that he didn’t even miss playing video games. A week passed quickly and it was time for Bilal to return. He didn’t want to leave because he had started enjoying the simple village life that brought him many new enriching experiences. His grandparents promised him that they would return to the place annually or during his extended school breaks. On the journey back Bilal thought that coming to the village was the best thing that had happened to him. He had experienced a new lifestyle, enjoyed quality time, and made wonderful memories — all without the internet! 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Bilal是个沉迷电子游戏的青少年，父母担心他的健康，爷爷奶奶带他去乡下，那里网络不好，希望他能体验简单生活。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两天后，Bilal的祖父母开始了他们的旅程”可知，第一段可描写Bilal在乡下的从事各种活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个星期很快过去了，比拉尔该回来了”可知，第二段可描写Bilal不愿离开以及祖父母承诺和Bilal的感受 。 2.续写线索：在乡下参加从事各种活动——不怀念玩电子游戏——不愿意离开——承诺——感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①探索：probe /explore ②参加：participate in /take part in ③承诺：promise /commit ④问候：greet/ extend greetings to 情绪类 绝妙的：wonderful / splendid 【点睛】[高分句型1] He didn’t want to leave because he had started enjoying the simple village life that brought him many new enriching experiences.

As they traveled along the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, traffic came to a sudden stop, and Chief Healy noticed a serious accident ahead. Recognizing the signs of a fire, Healy sprang into action. “I jumped out of the car and started running up the highway,” he stated. Healy arrived at the scene to find two vehicles involved in the crash, with debris (碎片) spread across the road. The engine compartment of one car was covered in flames (火焰), and the fire was spreading rapidly. With the passenger door caved in and the fire intensifying, Healy quickly assessed the situation and realized that a man was unconscious in the back seat. As the fire grew more dangerous, Healy, along with a police officer who had arrived on the scene, broke the driver’s side window and managed to open the door. Healy climbed into the back seat to find the man trapped in his seat belt, completely unconscious. The car was filling with smoke, and the fire threatened to consume the entire vehicle. “The situation was rapidly worsening,” Healy said. “If I didn’t remove him in fairly short order, the fire was going to consume the car.” With the help of the police officer, Healy successfully freed the man and pulled him from the burning car, just in time. “I’ve been doing this for 34 years. I knew there was no one there and if we didn’t do something about this, the person wasn’t going to get out,” said Chief Healy. “When I went back to my car, a couple of other drivers approached me and said ‘Man, you ran into that, what’ s wrong with you?’ and I’m like, ‘I’m a New York City firefighter; that’s what New York City firefighters do’.” 4. What was Healy doing when he saw the accident? A. Returning home after visiting Disney. B. Driving his family to a park. C. Taking a bus towards his office. D. Sitting and talking with his friend. 5. What can be used to describe the scene in paragraph 2? A. Terrifying. B. Noticeable. C. Minor. D. Repairable. 6. How did Healy help the passenger out of the burning car? A. By opening the door and called him out. B. By asking the police officer to help him out. C. By getting into the car and pulling him out. D. By putting off the fire and opening the door. 7. What does Healy think of his saving the passenger? A. It was his duty to do so. B. It was an occasional event. C. He was afraid of his deeds. D. He felt grateful to the passenger. C Body language can be a very powerful tool, no matter the size of the audience. Whether it is two people or two hundred people, body language can directly influence how audience members see a speaker or respond to what is being said. Body language has the power to influence the audience’s feelings and even change minds. Therefore, it is always important to be mindful of the “saying” when engaging with different audiences. Within interpersonal exchanges, body language can contain many different emotions or signals. By ensuring that a person’s body language is “consistent” with their emotional state, someone can create a safe environment for conversation to happen. If one’s body language is inconsistent with their emotional state, this might leave an audience feeling uncomfortable, put off, or on edge. They won’t know what to expect from that person. For example, a person might want to make a listener feel “comfortable” and “laid back” during a conversation. If this is the goal, they will avoid having “closed-off” or “unfriendly” body language, such as avoiding eye contact or crossing their arms. To make somebody feel more comfortable within a conversation, someone should focus on being “open” with their posture (姿势). They should relax their face and make sure to hold the listener’s attention and face the listener in an “open” position (e.g. with arms at their sides and slightly leaning (倾斜) towards the listener). More importantly body language can influence whether or not an audience feels confident or trusting of a speaker’s expertise. If a speaker’s body language comes across as being “nervous” or “hesitant”, then an audience might not take what they are saying seriously or be less likely to believe them or find them credible. In summary, body language plays a key role in speaking. Effective use of body language can also enhance the speaker’s message and engage the audience. On the contrary, poor body language can detract from (影响) the speaker’s message and create a passive impression. Therefore, it is essential for speakers to pay attention to their body language and use it to their advantage when delivering a speech. 8. What does the underlined words “the ‘saying’” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Making a speech. B. A response. C. Body language. D. An inner voice. 9. What should persons do to create a sense of safety for a conversation? A. Have lower expectations of their audience. B. Keep their body language true to their feelings. C. Remain emotionally consistent with the audience. D. Avoid exposing their inner emotions to the audience. 10. What might the act of crossing one’s arms lead to according to the text? A. Relaxation. B.

D China says its maglev hyperloop train (磁悬浮超级高铁列车) has broken the world speed record in a test run, reaching a surprising 623 km/h. Eventually, its makers want to build a train more than three times as fast as one that will break the sound barrier and run faster than airplanes. The maglev train named the T-Flight, was built by the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), New Atlas reported. Hyperloop trains work by pushing MLP (磁悬浮吊舱) through tunnels with very little air resistance. The previous record holder for the fastest maglev train is the L0 Series SCMaglev in Japan, according to JRPass, which can hit a top speed of 603 km/h. To test the new train, CASIC built a track roughly 2 kilometers long in a low-pressure vacuum (真空) tube. To reach such high speeds, the trains must encounter almost no friction (摩擦). So CASIC smoothed the test track to a flatness with a 0.3 millimeters tolerance, meaning there is a 0.01-inch difference between the lowest and highest point of the flat surface. The 20-foot-wide tunnel also has geometric size error of less than 2 mm, meaning the margin of error (误差幅度) against a perfect shape. The entire pipeline can return to normal pressure in five minutes, which shows its surprisingly-restored ability. In the T-Flight’s second phase of testing, CASIC aims to extend the track to 60 km and allow the train to reach 1,000 km/h. At this theoretical top speed, the maglev train would be even faster than a passenger jet, which travels at an average range between 925 km/h and 966 km/h, according to Simple Flying. The company’s ambitions don’t stop there, however, with plans for a connection between Wuhan and Beijing that can reach up to 2,000 km/h, according to a video from 2018. Hyperloop systems can move vehicles at speeds much faster than conventional trains — most of which are restricted to 95 km/h in the U. S. Elon Musk first proposed a hyperloop system for the U. S. in 2013, but more than a decade later, Musk’s vision has yet to see the light of day. As one of the biggest companies in the industry, Virgin shut down its own hyperloop company, which most recently went by the name Virgin Hyperloop in 2023. 12. What do we know about hyperloop trains from the first two paragraphs? A. China’s T-Flight outpaces airplanes. B. T-Flight outspeeds SCMaglev by 20 km/h. C. The first hyperloop train is made in Japan. D. They can merely travel without air friction. 13. What is prepared for testing the T-Flight? A. A free-pressure tube. B. An absolute flat track. C. A perfectly-shaped tunnel. D. A quickly-recovered pipeline. 14. Which can be used to describe China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation? A. Ambitious and reliable. B. Conventional and practical. C. State-owned and conservative. D. Advanced and international. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. CASIC: A Promising Company B. China: A Country Leading the Trend C. T-Flight: A Potential Record-Breaker D.

It’s a common problem we all face. Here are four useful tips to help you correct others nicely and gain their respect. First stay calm when you correct someone. How you say things matters more than what you say. We often use our feelings to show we’re disappointed. ___17___. For example, would you listen to someone who’s shouting at you, or someone who’s calm? We’re all sensitive. If you’re emotional when you correct someone, they might get defensive. Second, focus on facts rather than opinions. Instead of saying someone is bad at something, tell them what you’ve seen them do. ___18___. Say “I saw three reports left on the desk”. This way, you’re not attacking them. It gives them a chance to explain, and it helps you have a more productive conversation. Third, correct people in private. ___19___. If you do, it might hurt their feelings and damage your relationship. Also, others might think less of you. Correcting someone in public can make you seem like a weak leader. Fourth, use the “sandwich” way. Start by saying something good about the person. Then, tell them what they need to change. End by saying something positive again. For example, “You did a great job on that project. But we need to be more careful with the numbers. I know you can do better next time”. ___20___. By following these tips, you can correct others in a better way. You’ll build better relationships and achieve better results. A. But this usually doesn’t work well B. This makes the correction easier to take C. For example, don’t say “You’re so careless” D. You might be eager to step in and set things right E Opinions can sometimes be misleading and hurtful F. It’s better to just ignore the small mistakes of others G. Don’t do it in front of their friends or your workmates 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On Saturday, Juliet and Darcy were enjoying sunshine at Furness Park when they noticed a man fall down on the sidewalk.

Bilal, a teenager, was excited to finally have the free time to play video games on his PlayStation and endlessly surf the internet on his phone. The digital world was his playground, a place where he could escape into adventures and challenges that kept him entertained for hours on end. His parents were tired of always trying to stop him, constantly telling him that spending so much time online and on social media wasn’t good for his physical health. They worried about his eyesight and the lack of physical activity. But Bilal never listened. He was very addicted to the e-world. The appeal of virtual achievements and social interactions was too strong for him to resist. One day, after getting fed up, his mother discussed Bilal with his grandparents. “Is there any way we can get him away from this internet world?” she asked, her voice filled with desperation. His grandfather replied, “Yes, there is a way. I am planning to visit our village for a week. I am thinking of taking Bilal along. It will be a new experience for him to see a simple lifestyle. Besides, the internet signals are very bad there, so he won’t be able to stay online very often.” His mother was happy to hear this. “That’s a very good idea,” she replied, hopeful that this could be the turning point for Bilal. She excitedly went and shared it with Bilal, hoping he would be happy about going with his grandparents, but he refused, saying the trip would be boring without the internet. “How would I spend my days?” he complained. Just then his grandmother entered the room and explained calmly to him that it would be an exciting trip. She spoke of the beauty of nature, the joy of community, and the simple pleasures of life away from screens. She told him stories of the village, of the stars at night and the fresh air that filled the lungs with life. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右;2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Two days later, Bilal’s grandparents started their journey. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week passed quickly and it was time for Bilal to return. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
