As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” 4. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Unwilling to communicate. B. Addicted to online games. C. Unable to control his anger. D. Tired of staying at home. 5. Why was the caller silent on the call? A. He was too moved to say anything. B. He waited for the mother to continue. C. He didn’t want to be recognized. D. He didn’t know how to comfort her. 6.

A Mother’s Struggle B. A Wake-up Call C. Pain Shapes One into Success D. Love Heals a Broken Heart 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7.

But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year (作为一个单亲妈妈，我尽我最大的努力和他说话。但我越努力，当他初中的成绩单来的时候，他就越疏远我。)”可知，卡尔疏远了母亲，所以卡尔在父亲去世后变得沉默寡言，不愿意与人交流。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. (“我爱我的儿子，但我不知道该怎么办。我想尽了一切办法让卡尔回学校，但都没用。这不是我能控制的。”电话那头沉默了一会儿。)”根据第四段“I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. (我以为我只是开个玩笑，但当我听到你说的话时，我真的意识到我是多么地伤害了你。)”可知，打电话的人在电话中保持沉默是因为他太感动了，一句话也说不出来。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” (在回家的路上，他说：“妈妈，还记得去年校长打来的那个电话吗？”我点了点头。“那是我。我以为我只是开个玩笑，但当我听到你说的话时，我真的意识到我是多么地伤害了你。从那时起，我就知道我必须让你感到骄傲。”)”可知，在了解到母亲的真实感受后，Karl意识到自己的错误并决心改过自新，变得体贴和有决心。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. (“我爱我的儿子，但我不知道该怎么办。我想尽了一切办法让卡尔回学校，但都没用。这不是我能控制的。”电话那头沉默了一会儿。)”以及根据最后一段“On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” (在回家的路上，他说：“妈妈，还记得去年校长打来的那个电话吗？”我点了点头。“那是我。我以为我只是开个玩笑，但当我听到你说的话时，我真的意识到我是多么地伤害了你。从那时起，我就知道我必须让你感到骄傲。”)”可知，整篇文章描述的是母亲的一次电话让卡尔意识到自己的错误并彻底改变。B选项“一个唤醒电话”为短文的最佳标题，故选B项。 C Earlier this month, Bob Dylan released The Philosophy of Modern Song, a collection of 66 songs, detailing their status in music and, sometimes, explaining what a given track might mean or do. The book reminded me of the Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music, in which Smith intelligently summarizes each song's narrative arc as if it were a newspaper headline. Dylan is less direct and more tends to allegorical (讽喻的) long speeches. Dylan has always had a slightly tense relationship with the writers and journalists who grammatically analyze his songs for meaning, and, while reading The Philosophy of Modern Song, there were moments when I grew slightly red-faced, worried that the book might be an purposeful joke, making fun of all the drooling (垂涎) critics who have gone thrilled trying to illustrate the greatness and beauty of his work. Yet the pattern and rhythm of his descriptions will be quite familiar to anyone who listened to “Theme Time Radio Hour”, the Sirius XM show that Dylan hosted from 2006 to 2009. Ultimately, both projects repeat, in a serious way, just how difficult it is to study, investigate, and evaluate something as indescribable and brain-scrambling (烧脑) as popular music. The Philosophy of Modern Song picked a limited number of songs, for Dylan to define the masterpieces that defined him, and he did so determinedly. Much like Smith’s Anthology, Dylan’s book is deeply personal, despite its sweeping title. It’s obvious that Dylan did not adjust his preferences to suit a cultural narrative or to play down his age. Yet that the book contains only four songs performed by women is both depressing and astonishing. This might lead readers to question Dylan’s character and, more worrying, to wonder about the limits of his musical knowledge. 8. What do the two books, The Philosophy of Modern Song and Anthology of American Folk Music, have in common? A. The writing style. B. The writers’ career. C. The books’ subject. D. The creation background. 9. Why might the author feel slightly red-faced? A. Because he was on bad terms with Bob Dylan. B. Because he failed to listen to Dylan’s radio program. C. Because he was laughed at for his comments on Dylan’s book. D. Because he may be among those critics taking advantage of Dylan’s works. 10. What do we know about the book The Philosophy of Modern Song? A. It presents a whole history of American folk music. B. It offers a review on Bob Dylan’s personal music albums. C. It suggests a possible lack of attention to women’s music. D. It follows the example of Anthology of American Folk Music. 11. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To question Dylan’s expertise in folk music. B. To introduce the newly-published book by Bob Dylan. C. To blame Dylan for his underestimating female musicians. D. To compare the two books of Philosophy and Anthology. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Bob Dylan的新书《现代歌曲的哲学》，并将其与Harry Smith的《美国民间音乐选集》进行比较。作者认为，Dylan的书虽然充满个人色彩，但反映了他对歌曲的深刻理解和思考。然而，书中女性演唱者的歌曲数量过少，可能引发读者对Dylan性格和音乐知识局限性的质疑。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Earlier this month, Bob Dylan released  The Philosophy of Modern Song , a collection of 66 songs, detailing their status in music and, sometimes, explaining what a given track might mean or do. The book reminded me of the Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music, in which Smith intelligently summarizes each song’s narrative arc as if it were a newspaper headline. (本月早些时候，鲍勃·迪伦(Bob Dylan)发行了《现代歌曲的哲学》(The Philosophy of Modern song)，收录了66首歌曲，详细介绍了它们在音乐中的地位，有时还解释了某首歌曲的含义或作用。这本书让我想起了哈利·史密斯的《美国民间音乐选集》，在这本选集里，史密斯聪明地总结了每首歌的叙事弧线，就好像它是报纸的标题一样。)”可知，《现代歌曲哲学》和《美国民间音乐选集》这两本书都与歌曲有关，有着共同的主题。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Dylan has always had a slightly tense relationship with the writers and journalists who grammatically analyze his songs for meaning, and, while reading  The Philosophy of Modern Song , there were moments when I grew slightly red-faced, worried that the book might be an purposeful joke, making fun of all the drooling (垂涎) critics who have gone thrilled trying to illustrate the greatness and beauty of his work. (迪伦与那些从语法上分析他的歌曲的作家和记者的关系总是有点紧张，在阅读《现代歌曲哲学》的时候，我有时会微微红着脸，担心这本书可能是一个有目的的笑话，取笑那些流口水的评论家，他们激动地试图说明他的作品的伟大和美丽。)”可知，作者在读这本书时担心它可能是在故意嘲笑那些热衷于展示迪伦作品伟大和美丽的评论家，而他自己可能也是其中之一，因此感到有些尴尬或脸红。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Yet that the book contains only four songs performed by women is both depressing and astonishing. This might lead readers to question Dylan’s character and, more worrying, to wonder about the limits of his musical knowledge. (然而，这本书只收录了四首由女性演唱的歌曲，这既令人沮丧又令人惊讶。这可能会让读者质疑迪伦的性格，更令人担忧的是，他们会怀疑他的音乐知识是否有限。)”可知，《现代歌曲哲学》这本书可能会表明缺乏对女性音乐的关注。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The book reminded me of the Harry Smith’s  Anthology of American Folk Music , in which Smith intelligently summarizes each song's narrative arc as if it were a newspaper headline. Dylan is less direct and more tends to allegorical (讽喻的) long speeches. (这本书让我想起了哈利·史密斯的《美国民间音乐选集》，在这本选集里，史密斯聪明地总结了每首歌的叙事弧线，就好像它是报纸的标题一样。迪伦不那么直接，更倾向于寓言式的长篇演讲。)”和第三段中“Ultimately, both projects repeat, in a serious way, just how difficult it is to study, investigate, and evaluate something as indescribable and brain-scrambling (烧脑) as popular music. (最终，这两个项目都以一种严肃的方式重申，研究、调查和评估像流行音乐这样难以形容、让人绞尽脑汁的东西是多么困难。)”可知，这篇文章讨论了鲍勃·迪伦的《现代歌曲哲学》和哈利·史密斯的《美国民间音乐选集》。它在主题、写作风格和女性音乐的表现方面对这两本书进行了比较和对比。作者的主要重点是突出这两部作品的异同。故选D项。 D Electric-powered vertical-take-off-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft, or flying cars, are a growing trend. Many companies are creating different designs, ranging from big drone-like vehicles to those similar to tight spider webs. However, these won’t be like family cars from the“Jetsons”cartoon; flying them will need a pilot’s license, and they’ll likely first be used as air taxis. One company, Pivotal,has focused on a project that lets people fly their own vehicle.Their creation, Helix, is a one-seat vehicle, similar to a flying motorbike. Made to fit U.S.regulations for small aircraft, it can be flown without a pilot’s license in open areas. It has been a hairy ride. Pivotal, was started by Marcus Leng, a Canadian mechanical engineer. In 2011, he began to pursue his interest in flight. He believed electric-powered flight was possible and built a model in his backyard. Named BlackFly, it was a simple construction using carbon-fiber and even a chopstick for support. But it flew only once, marking the first human flight in an eVTOL. After 12 years of improvements,Pivotal now has a market-ready product. Helix has undergone several changes but kept its basic design. It has two sets of wings and eight propellers(螺旋桨), looking like a squeezed “H” from below. There’s no landing gear; Instead, its belly is curved in a way like a humpback whale’s, so it rocks to stability after landing. Pilot’s licence or not, buyers must train to fly Helix. The vehicle’s software limits the pilot to its built-in safety mechanisms. If something goes wrong, there’s a parachute that can be spread for a safe landing. The Helix’s top speed is a respectable 100kph, but its range is only 30km. And charging it is a bit of a pain. Charging takes 4.5 hours with a regular plug, but a special charger can reduce this to 75 minutes. So, it’s not quite like the futuristic Jetsons yet, but a possible step on-or perhaps above-the road 12. Which of the following is a feature of Helix? A. It’s a pilotless motorbike. B. It looks like a loose spider web. C. It is large and flies in open areas. D. It only has a driver’s seat. 13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean? A. Riding Helix was not easy. B. Flying Helix was just a piece of cake. C. The journey to develop Helix was challenging. D. The process of making Helix was quite interesting. 14. How does Helix land smoothly? A. With a built-in software. B. With its curved bottom. C. With two sets of wings. D. With its special shape. 15. What does the author think of Helix ? A. It has a promising future. B. Its design is far from satisfying. C. It is perfect for a long flight. D. Its charging time is unacceptable. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一种正在研究的新型飞行汽车—— Helix。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“One company, Pivotal,has focused on a project that lets people fly their own vehicle.Their creation, Helix, is a one-seat vehicle, similar to a flying motorbike. (Pivotal公司专注于一个让人们自己驾驶飞行汽车的项目。他们创造的Helix是一种单座汽车，类似于飞行摩托车。)”可知，Helix只有一个驾驶座。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段“Pivotal, was started by Marcus Leng, a Canadian mechanical engineer. In 2011, he began to pursue his interest in flight. He believed electric-powered flight was possible and built a model in his backyard. Named BlackFly, it was a simple construction using carbon-fiber and even a chopstick for support. But it flew only once, marking the first human flight in an eVTOL.(Pivotal由加拿大机械工程师Marcus Leng创立。2011年，他开始追求对飞行的兴趣。他相信电动飞行是可能的，并在自家后院建造了一个模型。它被命名为BlackFly，是一种简单的结构，使用碳纤维甚至筷子作为支撑。但它只飞行了一次，标志着人类首次在电动垂直起降飞行器中飞行。)”可知，研究创造Helix从2011年就开始了，经历了十多年才创造出，所以这是一段艰难的旅程。故猜测It has been a hairy ride应表示“开发Helix的旅程充满挑战”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“There’s no landing gear; Instead, its belly is curved in a way like a humpback whale’s, so it rocks to stability after landing.(没有起落架；相反，它的腹部是弯曲的，就像座头鲸的腹部一样，所以它在着陆后会摇晃后稳定。)”可知，Helix以其特殊的形状平稳降落。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The Helix’s top speed is a respectable 100kph, but its range is only 30km. And charging it is a bit of a pain. Charging takes 4.5 hours with a regular plug, but a special charger can reduce this to 75 minutes. So, it’s not quite like the futuristic Jetsons yet, but a possible step on-or perhaps above-the road(Helix的最高时速是100公里，但航程只有30公里。充电有点痛苦。使用普通插头充电需要4.5小时，但使用特殊充电器可以将充电时间缩短至75分钟。所以，它还不太像未来的《杰森一家》，但可能是在道路上迈出的一步，甚至更远)”可推测，作者认为Helix有一个充满希望的未来。故选A项。 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。 Wondering what you can do to celebrate Earth Day on April 22?

It’s the perfect day to get together for a fun and educational celebration of the Earth. Any money raised can go towards a local environmental restoration project or group. (看看你的社区是否正在举办环境义卖会。如果你的社区没有这样的计划，考虑自己创建一个！这是一个完美的日子，聚在一起庆祝地球的乐趣和教育。筹集到的任何资金都可以用于当地的环境修复项目或团体)”可知，本段主要和举办并参与社区的环境义卖会相关，空处是段落标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，因此A项“Attend a local Earth Day event.

Her parents struggled to make a living, so she still felt lucky they sent her to school. One day, on her way home, Adele slowed down after hearing beautiful sounds from the corner of the street. “Wow! It’s lovely!” she said as she went closer to a small art school. She struggled to peep (偷看) in and saw that it was a piano. For some reason, her eyes were filled with tears. She wished to play the instrument, but her parents couldn’t afford to send her there. Adele returned home with a heavy heart and couldn’t wait to pass by the art school again. She even pretended to press piano keys on the wall near her bed just like she was playing them for real. Seeing her do this, her parents were hurt but ignored it, because she was wishing for something beyond their means (钱财). The following afternoon, after class, Adele silently went to the place she had stood the previous day. Almost one hour later she walked away unwillingly. Her wish to play the piano grew stronger. Then as she crossed the street, she heard beautiful sound on the piano she’d never heard before. Curiously, she followed the sound and soon reached the doorstep of an old house. The door was open, so she invited herself into the house. “Hello… Is anybody in there?” she shouted. The music stopped at once. An elderly woman stood there, smiling. Her wrinkled skin and gray hair showed her aged beauty. “Come here, sweetheart! How can I help you?” she asked Adele. The girl was scared, but she approached the woman and after seeing her warm smile. “I’m Adele, and I was walking by your house when I heard someone playing the piano… It’s so beautiful!” she said. The woman then invited Adele to sit with her and began playing again. Soon, the girl was lost in the different classic melodies (旋律) that afternoon. At one point, Adele began to cry, and the elderly woman stopped playing. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What’s up, my child?

Why are you upset?” She asked with worry. Adele told her about her passion for music. “It would take my parents their lifetime to bring one home,” Adele cried. The elderly woman comforted her and said, “I am leaving to live with my son, and I am looking for someone to keep the piano. Then you are the person.” The girl was shocked and couldn’t believe her ears. The elderly woman continued, “But you can have it only if you promise me to keep it safely, no matter what happened, will you?” Adele cried in joy and promised to keep the piano forever. Days later, Adele’s parents were shocked to see a piano inside. The girl explained her meeting with the elderly woman. The parents was so grateful, thinking her girl was really lucky. Although Adele didn’t know how to play the piano perfectly, she had a good start. For the following years, she took every chance to learn to play the piano and practiced hard. And she finally grew up as a well-known pianist. Though she had played on the most expensive pianos, the one in her house meant a lot to her! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，12岁的阿黛尔家庭贫困，父母努力维持生计，尽力送她去上学。在一次回家的路上，阿黛尔被艺术学校的钢琴声吸引，萌生了演奏钢琴的愿望，但是意识到父母无法负担她学钢琴，她心情非常沉重。父母看到了阿黛尔假装弹钢琴的样子，虽然伤心但是无法提供帮助。第二天阿黛尔再次路过艺术学校，在经过一所老房子时，她被飘来的钢琴声吸引，不由自主地进入了房子里。房子里的老妇人招呼了阿黛尔，邀请她一同坐在钢琴旁，然后继续演奏钢琴，突然阿黛尔哭了起来，老妇人停了下来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老妇人担心地问：“怎么了，孩子？你为什么不高兴？””可知，第一段可描写阿黛尔向老妇人袒露自己想学钢琴但家里无法负担的情况，老妇人决定把钢琴送给阿黛尔。 ②由第二段首句内容“阿黛尔高兴得叫了起来，并答应永远保留这架钢琴。”可知，第二段可描写阿黛尔一家非常感激老妇人，阿黛尔铭记老妇人苦练钢琴，成为优秀的钢琴家。 2.续写线索：老妇人询问——阿黛尔袒露实情——老妇人赠送钢琴——阿黛尔做出承诺——阿黛尔一家人感激——阿黛尔好好学钢琴 3词汇激活 行为类 ①安慰：comfort/console/solace/ease ②寻找：look for/search for/seek for ③保存：keep/preserve/take care of/look after ④承诺：promise/vow/swear ⑤解释：explain/describe/elucidate/expound/clarify ⑥认为：think/believe/suppose 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/amazed/startled ②感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] But you can have it only if you promise me to keep it safely, no matter what happened, will you?（only if引导条件状语从句和no matter what引导让步状语从句） [高分句型2] The parents was so grateful, thinking her girl was really lucky.（现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型3] Although Adele didn’t know how to play the piano perfectly, she had a good start.（Although引导让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆西藏中学校2024-2025学年度下期半期考试 高一年级 英语试题卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked. One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” 4. What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Unwilling to communicate. B. Addicted to online games. C. Unable to control his anger. D. Tired of staying at home. 5. Why was the caller silent on the call? A. He was too moved to say anything. B. He waited for the mother to continue. C. He didn’t want to be recognized. D. He didn’t know how to comfort her. 6. What kind of young man is Karl? A. Brave but self-centered. B. Optimistic but careless. C. Responsible and creative. D. Considerate and determined. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. A Mother’s Struggle B. A Wake-up Call C. Pain Shapes One into Success D. Love Heals a Broken Heart C Earlier this month, Bob Dylan released The Philosophy of Modern Song, a collection of 66 songs, detailing their status in music and, sometimes, explaining what a given track might mean or do. The book reminded me of the Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music, in which Smith intelligently summarizes each song's narrative arc as if it were a newspaper headline. Dylan is less direct and more tends to allegorical (讽喻的) long speeches. Dylan has always had a slightly tense relationship with the writers and journalists who grammatically analyze his songs for meaning, and, while reading The Philosophy of Modern Song, there were moments when I grew slightly red-faced, worried that the book might be an purposeful joke, making fun of all the drooling (垂涎) critics who have gone thrilled trying to illustrate the greatness and beauty of his work. Yet the pattern and rhythm of his descriptions will be quite familiar to anyone who listened to “Theme Time Radio Hour”, the Sirius XM show that Dylan hosted from 2006 to 2009. Ultimately, both projects repeat, in a serious way, just how difficult it is to study, investigate, and evaluate something as indescribable and brain-scrambling (烧脑) as popular music. The Philosophy of Modern Song picked a limited number of songs, for Dylan to define the masterpieces that defined him, and he did so determinedly. Much like Smith’s Anthology, Dylan’s book is deeply personal, despite its sweeping title. It’s obvious that Dylan did not adjust his preferences to suit a cultural narrative or to play down his age. Yet that the book contains only four songs performed by women is both depressing and astonishing.

D Electric-powered vertical-take-off-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft, or flying cars, are a growing trend. Many companies are creating different designs, ranging from big drone-like vehicles to those similar to tight spider webs. However, these won’t be like family cars from the“Jetsons”cartoon; flying them will need a pilot’s license, and they’ll likely first be used as air taxis. One company, Pivotal,has focused on a project that lets people fly their own vehicle.Their creation, Helix, is a one-seat vehicle, similar to a flying motorbike. Made to fit U.S.regulations for small aircraft, it can be flown without a pilot’s license in open areas. It has been a hairy ride. Pivotal, was started by Marcus Leng, a Canadian mechanical engineer. In 2011, he began to pursue his interest in flight. He believed electric-powered flight was possible and built a model in his backyard. Named BlackFly, it was a simple construction using carbon-fiber and even a chopstick for support. But it flew only once, marking the first human flight in an eVTOL. After 12 years of improvements,Pivotal now has a market-ready product. Helix has undergone several changes but kept its basic design. It has two sets of wings and eight propellers(螺旋桨), looking like a squeezed “H” from below. There’s no landing gear; Instead, its belly is curved in a way like a humpback whale’s, so it rocks to stability after landing. Pilot’s licence or not, buyers must train to fly Helix. The vehicle’s software limits the pilot to its built-in safety mechanisms. If something goes wrong, there’s a parachute that can be spread for a safe landing. The Helix’s top speed is a respectable 100kph, but its range is only 30km. And charging it is a bit of a pain. Charging takes 4.5 hours with a regular plug, but a special charger can reduce this to 75 minutes. So, it’s not quite like the futuristic Jetsons yet, but a possible step on-or perhaps above-the road 12. Which of the following is a feature of Helix? A. It’s a pilotless motorbike. B. It looks like a loose spider web. C. It is large and flies in open areas. D. It only has a driver’s seat. 13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean? A. Riding Helix was not easy. B. Flying Helix was just a piece of cake. C. The journey to develop Helix was challenging. D. The process of making Helix was quite interesting. 14 How does Helix land smoothly? A. With a built-in software. B. With its curved bottom. C. With two sets of wings. D. With its special shape. 15. What does the author think of Helix ? A. It has a promising future. B. Its design is far from satisfying. C. It is perfect for a long flight. D. Its charging time is unacceptable. 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。 Wondering what you can do to celebrate Earth Day on April 22? You’ve come to the right place.

One day, on her way home, Adele slowed down after hearing beautiful sounds from the corner of the street. “Wow! It’s lovely!” she said as she went closer to a small art school. She struggled to peep (偷看) in and saw that it was a piano. For some reason, her eyes were filled with tears. She wished to play the instrument, but her parents couldn’t afford to send her there. Adele returned home with a heavy heart and couldn’t wait to pass by the art school again. She even pretended to press piano keys on the wall near her bed just like she was playing them for real. Seeing her do this her parents were hurt but ignored it, because she was wishing for something beyond their means (钱财). The following afternoon, after class, Adele silently went to the place she had stood the previous day. Almost one hour later she walked away unwillingly. Her wish to play the piano grew stronger. Then as she crossed the street, she heard beautiful sound on the piano she’d never heard before. Curiously, she followed the sound and soon reached the doorstep of an old house.
