Diving isn't just about swimming alongside various marine species but the adventure also involves appreciating nature as a work of art. One diver Gary Grayson from Worsley had a rather shocking experience with two seals that were swimming around him.
During one of his dives off the coasts of the Isles of Scilly, England, Grayson got lucky and found two young seals. One of the seals approached him first and started playing with him by touching his hand. The diver remained still, hoping it would leave him alone, while the seal went on with its actions. The marine creature kept exploring Grayson, who had no idea why the seal wouldn't leave him alone.
It turned out that the animal had something adorable in mind and dragged at Grayson's arms slightly because it wanted a scratch (挠) from the diver, and Grayson instantly understood. As he gently scratched the animal, it seemed to enjoy it and wanted more. The diver was excited about this heartwarming interaction with the seal. “I was absolutely loving it,” the 55-year-old experienced diver said.
“We were told just to keep still but the more still we were, the more curious this seal was because we were in their world,”the diver explained. After the first seal was done playing with him, the second seal that was swimming around the diver started to take an interest in his legs.
Being an adventure lover, Grayson always loved living life on the edge. But the time he had with those two seals underwater was something extraordinary for him. The video shot by Gary from more than a decade ago gained online popularity. While the Internet often considers seals as the “dogs of the sea”, their behavior in this video shows how that comparison might be true.
28. Why did Grayson stop moving after seeing the seals?
A. He planned to observe them quietly. B. He wanted to conduct research.
C. He wasn't able to escape from them. D. He wanted to wait for them to leave.
29. What can we know about the seals Gary met?
A. Their teeth were not very sharp.
B. Their health was failing rapidly.
C. They enjoyed interacting with humans.
D. They were frightened to see Grayson.
30. What view does Grayson's video support?
A. Adventure can bring great rewards.
B. Adventure adds fun to the ordinary life.
C. Seals are as gentle and friendly as dogs.
D. Seals aren't what they're thought to be.
31. Where might the text be taken from?
A. A scientific magazine. B. An adventure magazine.
C. A biology textbook. D. A bedtime storybook.
D
This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the dead said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be traveling in driverless cars one day soon.
On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They live mainly as farmers, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.
On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.
Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an Al designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, technology changes the way we live, and it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
32. What does the underlined word “cease” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Stop. B. Tolerate. C. Admit. D. Appreciate.
33. Why does the author mention the groups in paragraph 2?
A. To praise the groups.
B. To advocate a simple rural lifestyle.
C. To emphasize the importance of hard work.
D. To present positive sides of tech-free life.
34. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The major strengths of new technology.
B. The main reasons for developing technology.
C. The future application of the new technology.
D. The different reactions of people towards technology.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward new technology?
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.

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。
Flying cars have been a popular feature in sci-fi and fantasy stories since the early 1900s. But they’re not flying across our actual skies. Building flying cars is about more than just bringing sci-fi to life. ____36____ Today’s drivers can only travel in two dimensions (维度): north-south and east-west. Flying cars could unlock a third dimension: up-down. Imagine a world where you could beat rush-hour traffic by lifting off the ground.
This could be especially useful as the world’s population continues to grow. “I think that finally we will see a day when we use the third dimension to help us get around. ____37____ It will only worsen over time,” said Anderson, the former director of the Eagle Flight Research Center.
The main issue with flying cars is their high cost. Personal flying cars may come with a high price tag. Most people could never afford one. But average people may still ride in flying vehicles one day. ___38___ Something like Uber or Lyft for the skies may be more practical than everyone owning one.
____39____ Batteries are heavy, and — like those in electric cars — have a limited operating time. Current rechargeable batteries can only support flying cars for 20 to 30 minutes. While a car that runs out of charge can simply pull over, a flying car would fall out of the sky. So it’s extra important that these batteries last for a long time.
Even though some companies plan to produce flying cars sooner, they probably won’t be common in 10 or 20 years. First, aircraft need to be tested over and over for safety. Moreover, the rules of the road aren’t enough. Flying cars require their own set of rules for moving smoothly in the sky. ____40____
A. Powering flying cars is another challenge.
B. There might be a rideshare service for flying cars.
C. Flying cars save up lots of space without runways.
D. Otherwise, Earth is going to be a pretty crowded place.
E. These steps are needed before we make flying cars a reality.
F. It’s about making better use of space to move people around.
G. Repair costs would be much higher than those of a normal car.

Having found more than 160 dogs, it’s proved pretty ___48___. Can you spot Chester running around these woods? To the naked eye or even a normal drone, it’s actually ___49___, but pop the thermal image up and he jumps out. allowing his owner to bring him___50___ back home.
Having saved hundreds of dogs, the method is clearly ___51___ . Erica doesn’t ___52___ for her services and instead does it for the ___53___ of seeing the owners reunited. “I’ve seen it first-hand what it does to people when they lose dogs and I know how much it must hurt to them, losing that loved one. Finding the dog is like winning the lottery — it is absolutely ___54___.” Erica Hart, the drone owner said.

Professor Smith came from America to Nigari and he liked to see and understand the people there. One day, Smith stood by the window, looking at the crowd in the street below and saw a boy, a street sweeper, doing his job. Smith was, somehow, attracted by him. The boy, around 13, was in neat uniform and swept the street with great care. The broom was in his hands; if not, Smith would think that he was one of his students.
“Why is he here sweeping the street?” The question pushed him to approach the boy and say, “May I know your name?” Seeing Smith standing before him, the boy wore a little confusion in his eyes and replied slowly, “Sir! Rex.” Rex had orderly black and well-combed hair and looked smart, friendly and intelligent. William saw a bright future for Rex ahead. He politely asked something about Rex’ s family, then he knew that Rex’ s father, and grandfather, were both sweepers. “Sir, this is the bread and butter giver for my family,” Rex said, neither embarrassed nor shamed by the question.
Knowing the roots of education may be bitter, but the fruits it gives are very sweet, Smith tried to persuade Rex to receive more education. However, Rex politely refused, “I cannot leave this work. This is the means of living for us.”
“I know. But your life should be more than this. What if there is an opportunity right now that might change your life?” he asked, looking into Rex’ s eyes sharply. “What if today is that opportunity?”
“I would certainly try my best for it and do whatever I can to make myself a better person,” Rex replied, slowly but firmly, with a sparkle in his eyes.
Smith was satisfied with what Rex said. He decided to go on his mission to help this young boy start a new journey. He first talked to Rex’s family, stressing the importance of education and the potential it held for Rex’ s future. Then he arranged to help Rex with some courses after Rex finished his sweeping duties each day.

Diving isn't just about swimming alongside various marine species, but the adventure also involves appreciating nature as a work of art. One diver Gary Grayson from Worsley had a rather shocking experience with two seals that were swimming around him.
During one of his dives off the coasts of the Isles of Scilly, England, Grayson got lucky and found two young seals. One of the seals approached him first and started playing with him by touching his hand. The diver remained still, hoping it would leave him alone, while the seal went on with its actions. The marine creature kept exploring Grayson, who had no idea why the seal wouldn't leave him alone.
It turned out that the animal had something adorable in mind and dragged at Grayson's arms slightly because it wanted a scratch (挠) from the diver, and Grayson instantly understood. As he gently scratched the animal, it seemed to enjoy it and wanted more. The diver was excited about this heartwarming interaction with the seal. “I was absolutely loving it,” the 55-year-old experienced diver said.
“We were told just to keep still but the more still we were, the more curious this seal was because we were in their world,”the diver explained. After the first seal was done playing with him, the second seal that was swimming around the diver started to take an interest in his legs.
Being an adventure lover, Grayson always loved living life on the edge. But the time he had with those two seals underwater was something extraordinary for him. The video shot by Gary from more than a decade ago gained online popularity. While the Internet often considers seals as the “dogs of the sea”, their behavior in this video shows how that comparison might be true.
28. Why did Grayson stop moving after seeing the seals?
A. He planned to observe them quietly. B. He wanted to conduct research.
C. He wasn't able to escape from them. D. He wanted to wait for them to leave.
29. What can we know about the seals Gary met?
A. Their teeth were not very sharp.
B. Their health was failing rapidly.
C. They enjoyed interacting with humans.
D. They were frightened to see Grayson.
30. What view does Grayson's video support?
A. Adventure can bring great rewards.
B. Adventure adds fun to the ordinary life.
C. Seals are as gentle and friendly as dogs.
D. Seals aren't what they're thought to be.
31 Where might the text be taken from?
A. A scientific magazine. B. An adventure magazine.
C. A biology textbook. D. A bedtime storybook.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自沃斯利的潜水员加里・格雷森在英国锡利群岛海岸潜水时,与两只海豹发生的一次暖心互动的经历。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The diver remained still, hoping it would leave him alone, while the seal went on with its actions.(潜水员一动不动,希望海豹能离他远点,而海豹继续着它的动作)”可知,格雷森看到海豹后停止移动是因为他想等海豹离开。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It turned out that the animal had something adorable in mind and dragged at Grayson's arms slightly because it wanted a scratch (挠) from the diver, and Grayson instantly understood. As he gently scratched the animal, it seemed to enjoy it and wanted more. The diver was excited about this heartwarming interaction with the seal.(结果发现这只动物心里有可爱的想法,它轻轻地拉着格雷森的胳膊,因为它想让潜水员挠挠它,格雷森立刻明白了。当他轻轻地挠这只动物时,它似乎很享受,还想要更多。潜水员对与海豹的这种暖心互动感到很兴奋)”以及第四段“After the first seal was done playing with him, the second seal that was swimming around the diver started to take an interest in his legs.(第一只海豹和他玩完后,在潜水员周围游动的第二只海豹开始对他的腿产生了兴趣)”可推知,格雷森遇到的海豹喜欢与人类互动。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The video shot by Gary from more than a decade ago gained online popularity. While the Internet often considers seals as the "dogs of the sea", their behavior in this video shows how that comparison might be true.(加里十多年前拍摄的这段视频在网上受到了欢迎。虽然互联网上常把海豹称为“海洋之犬”,但这段视频中的海豹行为表明这种比较可能是正确的)”可知,格雷森的视频支持海豹像狗一样温和友好的观点。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Diving isn't just about swimming alongside various marine species, but the adventure also involves appreciating nature as a work of art.(潜水不仅仅是与各种海洋生物一起游泳,这种冒险还包括将自然视为一件艺术品来欣赏)”以及最后一段 “Being an adventure lover, Grayson always loved living life on the edge.(作为一个冒险爱好者,格雷森总是喜欢过刺激的生活)”可推知,文章最有可能来自一本冒险杂志。故选B。
D
This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the dead said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be traveling in driverless cars one day soon.
On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They live mainly as farmers, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.
On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.
Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an Al designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, technology changes the way we live, and it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
32. What does the underlined word “cease” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Stop. B. Tolerate. C. Admit. D. Appreciate.
33. Why does the author mention the groups in paragraph 2?
A. To praise the groups.
B. To advocate a simple rural lifestyle.
C. To emphasize the importance of hard work.
D. To present positive sides of tech-free life.
34. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The major strengths of new technology.
B. The main reasons for developing technology.
C. The future application of the new technology.
D. The different reactions of people towards technology.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward new technology?
A. Unclear. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕自动驾驶汽车事故引发的科技发展争议展开,通过正反两方观点和作者个人态度,探讨了是否应接受新技术的问题。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new.(他们说一些技术进步是不必要的,甚至可能是危险的。因此,我们应该cease仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它)”,结合前文提到人们反对开发无人驾驶汽车,可推测cease意思是“停止”。A. Stop(停止);B. Tolerate(容忍);C. Admit(承认);D. Appreciate(欣赏;感激)。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology.(一方面,世界上有许多不同群体的人在没有新技术的情况下幸福地生活着)”可推知,作者提到这些群体是为了呈现没有技术的生活的积极一面,。故选D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段“On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.(另一方面,多年来新技术给各地的人们带来了许多好处)”为该段主题句,后面举例说明新技术的优势,所以该段主要讲的是新技术的主要优势。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.(尽管如此,我将始终看到变化的积极一面,并接受它而不是抵制它)”可推知,作者对新技术的态度是支持的,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。
Flying cars have been a popular feature in sci-fi and fantasy stories since the early 1900s. But they’re not flying across our actual skies. Building flying cars is about more than just bringing sci-fi to life. ____36____ Today’s drivers can only travel in two dimensions (维度): north-south and east-west. Flying cars could unlock a third dimension: up-down. Imagine a world where you could beat rush-hour traffic by lifting off the ground.
This could be especially useful as the world’s population continues to grow. “I think that finally we will see a day when we use the third dimension to help us get around. ____37____ It will only worsen over time,” said Anderson, the former director of the Eagle Flight Research Center.
The main issue with flying cars is their high cost. Personal flying cars may come with a high price tag. Most people could never afford one. But average people may still ride in flying vehicles one day. ___38___ Something like Uber or Lyft for the skies may be more practical than everyone owning one.
____39____ Batteries are heavy, and — like those in electric cars — have a limited operating time. Current rechargeable batteries can only support flying cars for 20 to 30 minutes. While a car that runs out of charge can simply pull over, a flying car would fall out of the sky. So it’s extra important that these batteries last for a long time.
Even though some companies plan to produce flying cars sooner, they probably won’t be common in 10 or 20 years. First, aircraft need to be tested over and over for safety. Moreover, the rules of the road aren’t enough. Flying cars require their own set of rules for moving smoothly in the sky. ____40____
A. Powering flying cars is another challenge.
B. There might be a rideshare service for flying cars.
C. Flying cars save up lots of space without runways.
D. Otherwise, Earth is going to be a pretty crowded place.
E. These steps are needed before we make flying cars a reality.
F. It’s about making better use of space to move people around.
G. Repair costs would be much higher than those of a normal car.
【答案】36. F 37. D 38. B 39. A 40. E

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。
Professor Smith came from America to Nigari and he liked to see and understand the people there. One day, Smith stood by the window, looking at the crowd in the street below and saw a boy, a street sweeper, doing his job. Smith was, somehow, attracted by him. The boy, around 13, was in neat uniform and swept the street with great care. The broom was in his hands; if not, Smith would think that he was one of his students.
“Why is he here sweeping the street?” The question pushed him to approach the boy and say, “May I know your name?” Seeing Smith standing before him, the boy wore a little confusion in his eyes and replied slowly, “Sir! Rex.” Rex had orderly black and well-combed hair and looked smart, friendly and intelligent. William saw a bright future for Rex ahead. He politely asked something about Rex’ s family, then he knew that Rex’ s father, and grandfather, were both sweepers. “Sir, this is the bread and butter giver for my family,” Rex said, neither embarrassed nor shamed by the question.
Knowing the roots of education may be bitter, but the fruits it gives are very sweet, Smith tried to persuade Rex to receive more education. However, Rex politely refused, “I cannot leave this work. This is the means of living for us.”
“I know. But your life should be more than this. What if there is an opportunity right now that might change your life?” he asked, looking into Rex’ s eyes sharply. “What if today is that opportunity?”
“I would certainly try my best for it and do whatever I can to make myself a better person,” Rex replied, slowly but firmly, with a sparkle in his eyes.
Smith was satisfied with what Rex said. He decided to go on his mission to help this young boy start a new journey. He first talked to Rex’s family, stressing the importance of education and the potential it held for Rex’ s future. Then he arranged to help Rex with some courses after Rex finished his sweeping duties each day.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Smith gave Rex all the necessary support and guidance he needed to pursue his studies. Fortunately, some of Rex’s previous school years laid the foundation for his current efforts. Smith then enrolled Rex in a school. With Smith’s encouragement and financial assistance, slowly but surely, Rex’s initial hesitation gave way to a burning ambition to learn and improve his conditions. As Rex immersed himself in his studies, Smith watched with pride as the boy’s confidence grew. “It’s time to see how Rex has progressed these days,” Smith thought. Then he arranged for Rex to take an exam with his students.
The explosive news that Rex won third place in the exam excited Smith. When the results were announced, and Rex’s name appeared at the top of the list. Smith could scarcely contain his joy. He had witnessed the transformation of a street sweeper into a brilliant student. Smith rushed to congratulate Rex, embracing the young man with a sense of pride and accomplishment. He knew that this was just the beginning of Rex’s journey and from now on, even without his help, this young boy could find his own way and go ahead firmly.
