What makes this masterpiece unique is that it perfectly combines the 24 Solar Terms and classic Dunhuang art patterns with digital techniques, creating a visual feast. The creative mind behind it is Chang Shana, a 94-year-old remarkable figure in the fields of art and design in China. Born in Lyon, France, Chang Shana’s life path shifted dramatically at the age of 12. Her father, Chang Shuhong, chanced upon information about Dunhuang’s cave art in a French book-store. Intrigued by the appeal of this ancient art, he gave up the prospect of furthering his western art career, and resolved to return to China and dedicate himself to the research and preservation of the Mogao Grottoes. In the fall of 1943, the family arrived at the dusty, remote yet exciting Mogao Grottoes. But this was no easy task. The strong sandstorms blew everywhere, getting into everything and covering their painting tools with sand. Water resources were in such severe shortage that they had to use the same small bucket of water over and over again. In the dim and unsteady light of the caves, it was readily hard to copy the exact colors and details of the murals. However, Chang Shana determined to preserve the ancient art like her father — each stroke was evidence of their willpower, and every grain of sand that threatened to cover their works only fueled their determination to restore the murals’ former glory. Throughout her life, Chang Shana has led the way in blending Dunhuang art with various creations. Whether it’s the Dunhuang-inspired silk scarves, the cloisonné (景泰蓝) plates with grotto designs, or the elaborate decorations of the Great Hall of the People, they all act as a bridge, showcasing the unique charm of Dunhuang art to the world. 24. What makes the Dunhuang work stand out in the exhibition? A. The fame of the creator. B. Its widespread popularity C. Its tech-meet-tradition innovation D. The reflection of Dunhuang history. 25. What impact did Chang Shuhong have on his daughter? A. He led her to the world of French art. B. He drove her to promote modern art creation. C. He motivated her to start international exhibitions. D. He inspired her devotion to Dunhuang art restoration. 26. What challenge did Chang Shana face when working in Dunhuang? A. Language barriers. B. Lack of painting tools. C. Harsh natural conditions. D. Shortage of expert support. 27. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. Charm of Dunhuang: A Glimpse into Ancient Cave Art B. Exhibition Highlights: Traditional Chinese Masterpieces C. Like Father, Like Daughter: Pioneers in Dunhuang Art Revival D. Journey Through China’s Heritage: From Solar Terms to Grottoes 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。94岁的常沙娜在国际展览上推出融合二十四节气、敦煌艺术与数字技术的作品，其受父亲影响，一生致力于敦煌艺术保护与创新。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What makes this masterpiece unique is that it perfectly combines the 24 Solar Terms and classic Dunhuang art patterns with digital techniques, creating a visual feast. (这件杰作的独特之处在于它将二十四节气与经典的敦煌艺术图案与数字技术完美结合，营造出一场视觉盛宴。)”可知，敦煌展品在此次展览中脱颖而出的原因是其融合了科技与传统元素的创新设计。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, Chang Shana determined to preserve the ancient art like her father — each stroke was evidence of their willpower, and every grain of sand that threatened to cover their works only fueled their determination to restore the murals’ former glory. (然而，常沙娜决心像她的父亲那样保护这份古老的艺术——每一笔都体现了他们的意志力，而每一粒可能遮盖其作品的沙粒都只会增强他们恢复壁画昔日辉煌的决心。)”可知，父亲激励了女儿投身于敦煌艺术的修复工作。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The strong sandstorms blew everywhere, getting into everything and covering their painting tools with sand. Water resources were in such severe shortage that they had to use the same small bucket of water over and over again.

Missions were purely for scientific research or national honor with ordinary citizens not allowed to dream of such a journey. At present, space tourism remains in its early days. Far-sighted enterprises have made space travel more accessible. Recent orbital and suborbital flights have proven the viability of commercial space travel. Yet, the high expenses involved mean that only the wealthy and major sponsors can currently afford it. Some companies offer short space flights for a taste of weightlessness and breathtaking views of Earth, while others are trying lunar flybys, paving the way for broader public participation in the future. In the upcoming ten years, with more participants entering the space tourism market, prices are likely to drop, making space travel available to a wider audience. Collaborations may provide opportunities for ordinary people to experience space. Trips could extend beyond short-term flights, with the Moon becoming a popular destination and Mars potentially within reach as technology advances. Customized experiences, such as space science tours or luxury space stays, will probably be offered. People also expect the space tourism to integrate with the entertainment industry, perhaps featuring space concerts. But the industry faces significant obstacles. High costs act as a barrier to widespread participation. Rocket launches contribute to environmental pollution, and regulatory frameworks are still being developed. Additionally, passengers face health risks. Despite these difficulties, space tourism has the potential to inspire future generations and drive technological innovation, serving as a stepping-stone for further space exploration. Addressing cost, safety, and environmental issues is crucial for its long-term success. 28. What does the underlined word “viability” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Possibility. B. Necessity. C. Value. D. Risk. 29. What is the current state of space tourism? A. It has a broad public participation. B. It is sponsored by high-tech companies. C. It is primarily used in science research. D. It is in the initial stage of development. 30. What trend of space tourism is expected according to the text? A. Guaranteed safety. B. Government support. C. Diverse experiences. D. Proper management. 31. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To advertise space tourism. B. To advocate space science education. C To show the limitation of space tourism. D. To introduce the development of space tourism. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了空间旅游从过去受政府严格控制到如今处于早期发展阶段，未来趋势及面临挑战的情况。 28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Recent orbital and suborbital flights have proven the viability of commercial space travel. (最近的轨道和亚轨道飞行证明了商业太空旅行的viability)”可知，最近的轨道和亚轨道飞行证明了商业太空旅行的可行性，viability意思是“可行性，可能性”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At present, space tourism remains in its early days. (目前，太空旅游仍处于早期阶段)”可知，太空旅游目前处于发展的初始阶段。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Trips could extend beyond short-term flights, with the Moon becoming a popular destination and Mars potentially within reach as technology advances. Customized experiences, such as space science tours or luxury space stays, will probably be offered. People also expect the space tourism to integrate with the entertainment industry, perhaps featuring space concerts. (随着技术的进步，旅行可能会超越短期飞行，月球将成为热门目的地，火星也可能触手可及。可能会提供定制体验，如太空科学之旅或豪华太空住宿。人们还期待太空旅游与娱乐产业相结合，或许会有太空音乐会)”可知，太空旅游预计会有多样化的体验。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Decades ago, space travel was strictly controlled by government space agencies. (几十年前，太空旅行受到政府航天机构严格控制)”；第二段中“At present, space tourism remains in its early days. (目前，太空旅游仍处于早期阶段)”；第三段中“In the upcoming ten years, with more participants entering the space tourism market, prices are likely to drop, making space travel available to a wider audience. (在未来的十年里，随着越来越多的参与者进入太空旅游市场，价格可能会下降，使更多的人能够进行太空旅行)”以及第四段中“But the industry faces significant obstacles. (但该行业面临重大障碍)”可知，本文写作目的是介绍太空旅游的发展。故选D。 D For centuries, the Nazca Lines, massive geoglyphs (地画) carved into Peru’s desert by an ancient civilization, have puzzled archaeologists. However, AI is now changing our understanding of these ancient wonders. In a groundbreaking study, researchers programmed AI to analyze images taken from drones of the Nazca Desert. The results were astonishing: Within six months, AI identified 303 new geoglyphs, doubling the previous known total. This discovery not only expanded the range of Nazca art but also opened new ways for archaeological exploration. Professor Sakai emphasizes AI’s superior efficiency in data analysis. Unlike traditional methods relying on human visual inspection, which can be painstakingly slow, AI deals with vast amounts of information with speed and accuracy. “AI enables us to complete this survey in record time,” he stated, highlighting the technology’s ability to simplify archaeological research. AI’s impact is spreading throughout the entire field of archaeology. From analyzing satellite data of ancient copper-making sites to locating sunken shipwrecks, it is reshaping how researchers explore the past. As Dr. João Fonte puts it, archaeology is now at the leading edge of technological innovation, using digital tools and remote sensing. Nevertheless, while AI is a helping tool, it has its limitations. Currently, it requires human to check its findings, as mistakes can occur. But prospectively, as algorithms (算法) improve, accuracy will grow, promising to unlock more of humanity’s hidden past. 32. How does AI help with the study of the Nazca Lines? A. It proves the lines were for art. B. It tracks the origin of Nazca Lines. C. It helps to identify more Nazca Lines. D. It creates more Nazca Lines in the desert. 33. What does Prof. Masato Sakai stress about AI? A. The low-cost operation. B. The rapid data-processing ability. C. The autonomous decision-making. D. The powerful function in art research. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The restriction of AI in certain fields. B. The preservation of ancient technologies. C. The application of AI in modern archaeology. D. The classification of archaeological research. 35. What is a possible way to address the limitations of AI in the future? A. Improved algorithms. B. More human intervention. C. Cooperating with professionals. D. Returning to traditional methods. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。AI技术助力分析秘鲁纳斯卡线条，半年内新发现303个地画，提升考古效率，虽有局限但前景广阔。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The results were astonishing: Within six months, AI identified 303 new geoglyphs, doubling the previous known total.(结果令人震惊：在六个月内，人工智能识别出了303个新的地画，使此前已知的数量翻了一番)”可知，人工智能有助于识别更多的纳斯卡线条。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Professor Sakai emphasizes AI’s superior efficiency in data analysis.

Let’s take a closer look. ●Financial awareness gaps exist. A Singapore study shows a mixed result among young people. While many have established emergency funds and practiced budgeting, half have no retirement savings plans. ___37___. Clearly, although financial awareness is increasing, there’s a long way to go to achieve financial well-being. ●___38___. Money often becomes an abstract concept for young people. Consider the case of an 11-year-old in the UK who spent £2000 on an online game. More similar cases are happening with invisible money going popular. This lack of physical money can lead to financial risks in families. ●Home-based financial education is necessary. Fortunately, financial management skills are not something one is born with but can be learnt. At home, parents can set good examples. ___39___, so they can use tools like piggy banks, savings accounts, or even financial management apps to plant the importance of money in their children. ●School and government should support. Schools and governments also play a crucial part. In Sweden, students learn about financial planning for life events. Denmark makes financial education required for certain grades. Singapore’s Money Sense campaign provides resources for the young. ___40___. In conclusion, despite the challenges presented by the cashless era, if home, school and government work together, young people can indeed learn to value and manage money well. A. Cashless society poses challenges B. They’re more likely to make wise choices C. Children can understand basic money concepts D. These examples show the institutions’ joint efforts E. Some young people show unwise financial actions F. People will see a divide between present and future finances G. This reveals many overlook the significance of saving money 【答案】36. E 37. G 38. A 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了当代年轻人金钱观变化及消费行为问题，并提出家庭、学校和政府需协同培养其理财能力。 【36题详解】 上文“Nowadays, young people’s attitude towards the value of money has changed dramatically, and their spending ways have changed as well.(如今，年轻人对金钱价值的观念发生了巨大变化，他们的消费方式也发生了变化)”说明年轻人金钱观和消费行为的变化趋势。空处和前文为转折关系，引出后文对年轻人理财能力的质疑。所以E项“一些年轻人表现出不理智的财务行为。”符合语境，既承接前文的“变化”，又通过but转折引出后文对“是否完全不会理财”的讨论。故选E。 【37题详解】 上文“While many have established emergency funds and practiced budgeting, half have no retirement savings plans.(虽然许多人建立了应急基金并制定了预算，但一半的人没有退休储蓄计划)”说明年轻人理财行为的矛盾性——部分人积极储蓄，但另一部分人忽视长期规划。空处和前文为因果关系，解释这种矛盾的后果。所以G项“这表明许多人忽视了存钱的重要性。”符合语境，该项中的this指代前文 “一半人没有退休储蓄计划” 的现象，且“忽视储蓄的重要性”是对该现象的合理解读，与后文 “虽然财务意识在提高，但要实现财务健康还有很长的路要走” 衔接紧密。故选G。 【38题详解】 下文“Money often becomes an abstract concept for young people. Consider the case of an 11-year-old in the UK who spent £2000 on an online game. More similar cases are happening with invisible money going popular. This lack of physical money can lead to financial risks in families.(金钱对年轻人来说往往是一个抽象的概念。以英国一名11岁的孩子为例，他花了2000英镑买了一款网络游戏。随着隐形货币的流行，越来越多的类似案例正在发生。缺乏实物资金可能会导致家庭财务风险)”说明无现金社会对年轻人金钱认知的影响。空处为小标题，需概括下文核心内容。所以A项“无现金社会带来挑战。”符合语境，准确概括下文主题。故选A。 【39题详解】 上文“At home, parents can set good examples.(在家里，父母可以树立好榜样)”说明家庭金融教育的基础是父母的行为示范。空后“so they can use tools like piggy banks, savings accounts, or even financial management apps to plant the importance of money in their children.(因此，他们可以使用存钱罐、储蓄账户甚至财务管理应用程序等工具，向孩子灌输金钱的重要性)”说明向孩子灌输金钱的重要性的具体工具。空处承上启下，进一步说明父母通过选择正确的工具帮助孩子理解金钱。所以B项“他们更有可能做出明智的选择”符合语境，该项中的They指代前文中的parents，“make wise choices”和下文中的“use tools like piggy banks, savings accounts, or even financial management apps”相呼应。故选B。 【40题详解】 上文“In Sweden, students learn about financial planning for life events. Denmark makes financial education required for certain grades. Singapore’s Money Sense campaign provides resources for the young.(在瑞典，学生学习生活事件的财务规划。丹麦将金融教育列为某些年级的必修课。新加坡的“金钱意识”运动为年轻人提供资源)”列举了瑞典、丹麦、新加坡在金融教育方面的具体措施。空处和前文为总结关系，概括这些措施的共同意义。所以D项“这些例子表明了机构的共同努力。”符合语境，该项中的“the institutions’ joint efforts”和标题的“School and government should support.”相呼应，总结前文多国举措，强调学校和政府在金融教育中的协作作用。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文. 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 “Good afternoon, everyone.

The biggest one lived in a huge white building with a round roof that could open. Fascinated by learning about the universe, I was willing to help around. Over time, I learned how telescopes worked and even helped adjust its knobs (旋钮) when they weren’t pointing right. At night, I loved watching through the open roof as the long telescope tube turned to look at the stars. Slowly, my dream took shape — go to university to study astronomy! MIT had always been my dream school. Eager to explore the universe, I applied to its top astronomy program. But no one believed a working-class girl from Indiana could study astronomy at university — There was no way to get a powerful recommendation letter. Without it, I would never be admitted to a university. But Mr. Rojas, a Spanish astronomer at Cerro Tololo observatory, who knew about my dream from my father, smiled at me. “Astronomy needs both effort and sharp eyes,” he’d encourage. “Work hard, and your chance will come.” Hearing his warm words, I felt the night sky stars speaking to me. One evening, on my way home, when I passed the observatory, I suddenly noticed the telescope pointing downward strangely. Something was wrong with the telescope! I was sure. I had often helped my father reset this device. Should I reset it to avoid any damage to it? But what if I was wrong? I looked around. No adults around. So, taking a deep breath, I slipped into the observatory room. Above, Mr. Rojas was doing his check-up. “Who is down there?” he shouted, with a hint of unease in his voice. “Sir, I think there’s a problem with one of the telescopes.” I replied. Mr. Rojas looked around and spotted me, “Child, it’s you! The platform lift (升降台) is stuck... I can’t get down!” “I’ll run and get the night duty officer,” I turned to leave. “No, no time for that! The telescope will suffer mechanical damage in minutes... it’ll break. You must reset it first. I’ll guide you.” He urged anxiously, pointing at the ladder leading to the telescope. 注意： （1）续写词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was the most challenging ladder climb of my life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, a letter from MIT arrived in my mailbox at the door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： It was the most challenging ladder climb of my life. My hands trembled, but I forced myself to keep going. With Mr. Rojas’ instructions, I carefully followed every step. I eventually located the right knob and adjusted it as hard as I could. Then, slowly, the huge telescope began to move back to its right angle. Mr. Rojas shouted excitedly, “You made it! You have what it takes to be an astronomer.” Months later, a letter from MIT arrived in my mailbox at the door. Holding the letter, my heart pounded. The words “Admission Offer” blurred my eyes. I realized immediately — Mr. Rojas had written the recommendation letter! I ran to my father. He hugged me tightly. As we celebrated under the vast night sky, the memory of that ladder climb filled me with pride. At that moment, I felt the universe was much closer than ever before and the stars were smiling down at me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的梦想为线索展开。作者受父亲影响对天文感兴趣，梦想去MIT学天文学，却缺推荐信。一天回家路上，作者发现望远镜异常，便进入天文台，在罗哈斯先生指导下准备去重置它。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“这是我一生中最具挑战性的一次攀登。”可知，第一段描写作者在罗哈斯先生指导下克服恐惧爬梯子调整望远镜的过程，以及他对作者的肯定。 ②由第二段句首内容“几个月后，一封来自麻省理工学院的信到达了我门口的邮箱。”可知，第二段描写 作者收到麻省理工学院录取通知书时的激动心情，意识到是罗哈斯先生写了推荐信，与父亲庆祝时回忆爬梯子的经历，感受到宇宙的亲近。 2.续写线索：爬梯子调望远镜 —— 罗哈斯先生称赞 —— 收到MIT录取信 —— 发现推荐信来源 —— 与父亲庆祝 —— 回忆中感受宇宙亲近 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②强迫自己继续：force oneself to keep going/force oneself to continue ③跑向父亲：run to my father/dash towards my dad 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly/with excitement ②感到骄傲：fill sb. with pride/feel proud 【点睛】【高分句型1】You have what it takes to be an astronomer.

What makes this masterpiece unique is that it perfectly combines the 24 Solar Terms and classic Dunhuang art patterns with digital techniques, creating a visual feast. The creative mind behind it is Chang Shana, a 94-year-old remarkable figure in the fields of art and design in China. Born in Lyon, France, Chang Shana’s life path shifted dramatically at the age of 12. Her father, Chang Shuhong, chanced upon information about Dunhuang’s cave art in a French book-store. Intrigued by the appeal of this ancient art, he gave up the prospect of furthering his western art career, and resolved to return to China and dedicate himself to the research and preservation of the Mogao Grottoes. In the fall of 1943, the family arrived at the dusty, remote yet exciting Mogao Grottoes. But this was no easy task. The strong sandstorms blew everywhere, getting into everything and covering their painting tools with sand. Water resources were in such severe shortage that they had to use the same small bucket of water over and over again. In the dim and unsteady light of the caves, it was readily hard to copy the exact colors and details of the murals. However, Chang Shana determined to preserve the ancient art like her father — each stroke was evidence of their willpower, and every grain of sand that threatened to cover their works only fueled their determination to restore the murals’ former glory.

Journey Through China’s Heritage: From Solar Terms to Grottoes C Decades ago, space travel was strictly controlled by government space agencies. Missions were purely for scientific research or national honor with ordinary citizens not allowed to dream of such a journey. At present, space tourism remains in its early days. Far-sighted enterprises have made space travel more accessible. Recent orbital and suborbital flights have proven the viability of commercial space travel. Yet, the high expenses involved mean that only the wealthy and major sponsors can currently afford it. Some companies offer short space flights for a taste of weightlessness and breathtaking views of Earth, while others are trying lunar flybys, paving the way for broader public participation in the future. In the upcoming ten years, with more participants entering the space tourism market, prices are likely to drop, making space travel available to a wider audience. Collaborations may provide opportunities for ordinary people to experience space. Trips could extend beyond short-term flights, with the Moon becoming a popular destination and Mars potentially within reach as technology advances. Customized experiences, such as space science tours or luxury space stays, will probably be offered. People also expect the space tourism to integrate with the entertainment industry, perhaps featuring space concerts. But the industry faces significant obstacles. High costs act as a barrier to widespread participation. Rocket launches contribute to environmental pollution, and regulatory frameworks are still being developed. Additionally, passengers face health risks. Despite these difficulties, space tourism has the potential to inspire future generations and drive technological innovation, serving as a stepping-stone for further space exploration. Addressing cost, safety, and environmental issues is crucial for its long-term success. 28. What does the underlined word “viability” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Possibility. B. Necessity. C. Value. D. Risk. 29. What is the current state of space tourism? A. It has a broad public participation. B. It is sponsored by high-tech companies. C. It is primarily used in science research. D. It is in the initial stage of development. 30. What trend of space tourism is expected according to the text? A. Guaranteed safety. B. Government support. C. Diverse experiences. D. Proper management. 31 What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To advertise space tourism. B. To advocate space science education. C. To show the limitation of space tourism. D. To introduce the development of space tourism. D For centuries, the Nazca Lines, massive geoglyphs (地画) carved into Peru’s desert by an ancient civilization, have puzzled archaeologists. However, AI is now changing our understanding of these ancient wonders. In a groundbreaking study, researchers programmed AI to analyze images taken from drones of the Nazca Desert. The results were astonishing: Within six months, AI identified 303 new geoglyphs, doubling the previous known total. This discovery not only expanded the range of Nazca art but also opened new ways for archaeological exploration. Professor Sakai emphasizes AI’s superior efficiency in data analysis. Unlike traditional methods relying on human visual inspection, which can be painstakingly slow, AI deals with vast amounts of information with speed and accuracy. “AI enables us to complete this survey in record time,” he stated, highlighting the technology’s ability to simplify archaeological research. AI’s impact is spreading throughout the entire field of archaeology. From analyzing satellite data of ancient copper-making sites to locating sunken shipwrecks, it is reshaping how researchers explore the past. As Dr. João Fonte puts it, archaeology is now at the leading edge of technological innovation, using digital tools and remote sensing. Nevertheless, while AI is a helping tool, it has its limitations. Currently, it requires human to check its findings, as mistakes can occur. But prospectively, as algorithms (算法) improve, accuracy will grow, promising to unlock more of humanity’s hidden past. 32. How does AI help with the study of the Nazca Lines? A. It proves the lines were for art. B. It tracks the origin of Nazca Lines. C. It helps to identify more Nazca Lines. D. It creates more Nazca Lines in the desert. 33. What does Prof. Masato Sakai stress about AI? A. The low-cost operation. B. The rapid data-processing ability. C. The autonomous decision-making. D. The powerful function in art research. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The restriction of AI in certain fields. B. The preservation of ancient technologies. C. The application of AI in modern archaeology. D. The classification of archaeological research. 35. What is a possible way to address the limitations of AI in the future? A. Improved algorithms. B. More human intervention. C. Cooperating with professionals. D. Returning to traditional methods. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, young people’s attitude towards the value of money has changed dramatically, and their spending ways have changed as well. ___36___, but does this mean they’re entirely at a loss when it comes to managing money?

The biggest one lived in a huge white building with a round roof that could open. Fascinated by learning about the universe, I was willing to help around. Over time, I learned how telescopes worked and even helped adjust its knobs (旋钮) when they weren’t pointing right. At night, I loved watching through the open roof as the long telescope tube turned to look at the stars. Slowly, my dream took shape — go to university to study astronomy! MIT had always been my dream school. Eager to explore the universe, I applied to its top astronomy program. But no one believed a working-class girl from Indiana could study astronomy at university — There was no way to get a powerful recommendation letter. Without it, I would never be admitted to a university. But Mr. Rojas, a Spanish astronomer at Cerro Tololo observatory, who knew about my dream from my father, smiled at me. “Astronomy needs both effort and sharp eyes,” he’d encourage. “Work hard, and your chance will come.” Hearing his warm words, I felt the night sky stars speaking to me. One evening, on my way home, when I passed the observatory, I suddenly noticed the telescope pointing downward strangely. Something was wrong with the telescope! I was sure. I had often helped my father reset this device. Should I reset it to avoid any damage to it? But what if I was wrong? I looked around. No adults around. So, taking a deep breath, I slipped into the observatory room. Above, Mr. Rojas was doing his check-up. “Who is down there?” he shouted, with a hint of unease in his voice. “Sir, I think there’s a problem with one of the telescopes.” I replied. Mr. Rojas looked around and spotted me, “Child, it’s you! The platform lift (升降台) is stuck... I can’t get down!” “I’ll run and get the night duty officer,” I turned to leave. “No, no time for that! The telescope will suffer mechanical damage in minutes... it’ll break. You must reset it first. I’ll guide you.” He urged anxiously, pointing at the ladder leading to the telescope. 注意： （1）续写词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was the most challenging ladder climb of my life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, a letter from MIT arrived in my mailbox at the door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是2024至2025学年第二学期高二年级期末学业诊断英语听力部分。该部分分为第一第二两节，请看听力部分。第一节听下面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，答案写在答题卡上。例如，现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much . the shirt is?
