When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
4. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning?
A. He was unwilling to attend it. B. He was excited to take part in it.
C. He was astonished to hear about it. D. He was unhappy to withdraw from it.
5. How did the poetry project benefit the author?
A. It boosted his confidence. B. It developed his sense of humor.
C. It reminded him to be independent. D. It taught him how to organize activities.
6. What can be inferred about Summit Learning?
A. It proves the limits of one’s abilities. B. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
C. It transforms the traditional way of learning. D. It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.
7. How does the author find Summit Learning now?
A. Demanding. B. Admirable. C. Upsetting. D. Conventional.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加顶峰学习课程的经历和感受。
【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.”(我们与合作伙伴一起进行的同伴活动让我对自己的能力更有信心,并激励我做更多的事情,使我的演讲尽可能做到最好。)可知,诗歌活动提高了作者的信心。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.”(作为一个活跃的男孩,我一直处于领先地位,但在正常的课堂上,我所能做的是有限制的。有了顶峰学习,我可以在项目中超越预期,或者在准备好后继续学习新内容。我对自己的工作拥有所有权,并追求自己的目标。)可推断出,顶峰学习转变了作者的学习方式。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently.”(顶峰学习向我展示了人们可以在多大程度上成长和改变。它帮助我以不同的方式看待别人和我自己。)可知,作者认为顶峰学习是一件很好的事情。故选B项。

Scientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world. Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land.
Solar panels — also known as “photovoltaic” panels — are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float some people call them “floatovoltaies (浮动光伏)”.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs (水库) worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large — more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year. And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world. The researchers described the results as “remarkable”.
The scientists found that floatovoltaies would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less). The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need.
Floatovoltaies can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaies a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy. Putting solar panels on water also means that there’s no need to clear land for a solar farm. That’s more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.
8. What did the researchers think of the study results?
A. Skeptical. B. Amazing. C. Worrying. D. Interesting.
9. Where should floating solar panels be placed to make them extremely helpful?
A. In small cities with more rain and less sunshine.
B. In huge cities with many small lakes and rivers.
C. In tiny cities near reservoirs with less than 50,000 people.
D. In large cities far from reservoirs with more than 50,000 people.
10. Why is covering reservoirs with floating solar panels useful?
A. It can help reduce water evaporation.
B. It can prevent water from being polluted.
C. It purifies the water available for consumption.
D. It provides enough sunlight for the solar panels.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The methods of using floatovoltaies
B. The prospects of the power industry
C. Solar Farms —Turning Sunlight into Electricity
D. Floating Solar Panels — Making Energy, Saving Water
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板——既能发电又能节约水,同时保护野生动物的自然空间。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers described the results as ‘remarkable’.(研究人员称研究结果“非凡的”。)”可知,研究者认为这些结果是“非凡的”,与amazing意义相近,意为“了不起的”。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The scientists found that floatovolaies would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less).(科学家们发现,当水库靠近较小的城市(人口不超过5万人)时,浮动光伏尤其有用。)”可知,在不超5万人的城市,浮动光伏时尤其有用的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Floatovoltaies can also help save water by limiting evaporation from reservoirs.(浮动光伏还可以通过限制水库的蒸发来帮助节约用水。)”可知,浮动光伏可以帮助限制水库的蒸发帮助节约用水,由此可知,用浮动太阳能板覆盖水库可以帮助限制水的蒸发。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Scientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world. Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land.(科学家们发现,如果将漂浮的太阳能电池板放置在世界各地的湖泊和其他水体上,它们可以提供大量的电力。漂浮的太阳能电池板也有助于节约用水和保护土地。)”结合下文中对浮动太阳能板的介绍可知,文章主要介绍了浮动太阳能电池板——既能发电又能节约用水,所以“浮动太阳能电池板——制造能源,节约用水”作为本文的标题,既与本文的内容一致,且概括了本文的主题。故选D项。
D
Nuclear bombs. That’s the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids (小行星) and comets as far as Hollywood is concerned. Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons, delivered by stars like Bruce Willis, to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality, if astronomers spotted a dangerous in-coming space rock, the safest and best answer might be something more subtle, like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That’s just what NASA did on Monday evening, when a spacecraft headed straight into anasteroid called Dimorphos, which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth. It’s about 525 feet across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed (传输) as the crash neared, the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned, they said, with nothing going wrong. “As far as we can tell, our first planetary defense test was a success,” said Elena Adams, the mission systems engineer, who added that scientists looked on with “both terror and joy” as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The crash was the peak of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a 7-yearand more than $300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity’s first-ever test of planetary defense technology. It will be about two months, scientists said, before they will be able to determine if the crash was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course, probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. “We’ve tracked lots of space rocks, especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events. Thankfully, none currently threaten Earth. But many asteroids the size of Dimorphos haven’t yet been discovered, and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down,” explains Lindley Johnson, NASA’s Planetary Defense Officer.
12. Why does the author mention the movies?
A. To make a prediction. B. To provide a possibility.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
13 What can we infer from the passage?
A. . Dimorphos could cause extinction-level events.
B. The 7-year program has drawn a conclusion.
C. NEO Surveyor has tracked lots of space rocks.
D. NASA pushed Dimorphos by crashing.
14. Which statement does Lindley Johnson most possibly agree with?
A. Larger asteroids will not be a threat to Earth.
B. NASA should shoulder the responsibility for the crash.
C. NEO Surveyor is expected to discover asteroids the size of Dimorphos.
D. Asteroids like Dimorphos are more destructive than other larger ones.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. An intentional crash in space B. A threat to Earth from asteroids
C. The contribution to space safety D. The impact of planetary defense technology
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国宇航局在周一晚上用一驾宇宙飞船冲向一颗名为Dimorphos的小行星,通过撞击来让小行星偏离轨道,以保护地球。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Nuclear bombs. That’s the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids (小行星) and comets as far as Hollywood is concerned. Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons, delivered by stars like Bruce Willis, to save the world and deliver the drama.(核炸弹。这是好莱坞对小行星和彗星等飞来的太空物体的首选答案。像《深度撞击》和《世界末日》这样的电影依靠核武器,由布鲁斯·威利斯等明星来拯救世界,并呈现出戏剧性)”以及第二段“But planetary defense experts say in reality, if astronomers spotted a dangerous in-coming space rock, the safest and best answer might be something more subtle, like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.(但行星防御专家表示,在现实中,如果天文学家发现了一颗危险的太空岩石,最安全、最好的答案可能是一些更微妙的方法,比如用一艘小型航天器撞击它,让它偏离轨道)”可推知,作者提到电影是为了引入文章话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In images streamed (传输) as the crash neared, the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.(随着撞击的临近,这颗蛋形小行星从屏幕上的一个小点逐渐变大,直到它的整个岩石表面迅速成为焦点,然后信号就消失了,因为飞船正好击中了目标)”可推知,NASA通过撞击来推动Dimorphos。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. “We’ve tracked lots of space rocks, especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events. Thankfully, none currently threaten Earth. But many asteroids the size of Dimorphos haven’t yet been discovered, and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down,” explains Lindley Johnson, NASA’s Planetary Defense Officer.(美国宇航局计划在2026年发射一架名为“近地天体勘测者”的小行星探测太空望远镜。“我们已经追踪了很多太空岩石,尤其是那些可能导致灭绝级别事件的较大岩石。值得庆幸的是,目前还没有威胁到地球。但许多像Dimorphos这样大小的小行星还没有被发现,如果它们坠落,它们可能会摧毁一座城市,”美国宇航局行星防御官林德利·约翰逊解释说)”可知,林德利·约翰逊认为近地天体勘测者号有望发现Dimorphos大小的小行星。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据及第二段“But planetary defense experts say in reality, if astronomers spotted a dangerous in-coming space rock, the safest and best answer might be something more subtle, like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.(但行星防御专家表示,在现实中,如果天文学家发现了一颗危险的太空岩石,最安全、最好的答案可能是一些更微妙的方法,比如用一艘小型航天器撞击它,让它偏离轨道)”结合文章主要说明了美国宇航局在周一晚上用一驾宇宙飞船冲向一颗名为Dimorphos的小行星,通过撞击来让小行星偏离轨道,以保护地球。可知,A选项“故意在太空坠毁”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者从冰激凌的价格引申到市场以及经济问题,最后提出冰激凌的定价应受到密切关注。
【16题详解】
上文“As we walked along the street recently, my friend suddenly sighed, “How I miss the ice-cream my grandma used to buy me after school!”(最近,当我们走在街上时,我的朋友突然叹了口气:“我多么想念奶奶放学后给我买的冰淇淋啊!”)”提到了走在街上时,突然想念奶奶买的冰激凌;下文“which cost her 9.8 yuan, almost 10 limes higher than the “grandma ice cream”.(售价9.8元,比“奶奶牌冰淇淋”贵了近10倍。)”提到了冰激凌的价格。由此可推知,作者的朋友买了一个冰激凌。C项“While walking, she was licking on one(走的时候,她嘴上添了一只冰激凌)”与上下文对应。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“But it was just one of the fair-priced treats.(但这只是其中一种价格公道的款待。)”提到了这只是其中一种价格比较公道的款待;下文“It was written by a user who claimed he “randomly picked a plain-looking ice-cream” in a store, and was shocked when the register showed it was 68 yuan.(该帖子是由一名用户撰写的,他声称自己在一家商店“随机挑选了一个看起来很普通的冰淇淋,当收银机显示它的价格为68元时,他感到震惊。”)”提到了一位用户买冰激凌花了68元。由此可推知,此处为一位用户发的帖子。B项“The other day I read a post on Weibo(前几天我在微博上看到了一篇帖子)”与上下文对应。故选B项。
【18题详解】
上文“I miss the good old days too, but on second thoughts, I don’t believe that some expensive ice-cream means the market is “corrupted”(我也怀念过去的美好时光,但转念一想,我不认为一些昂贵的冰淇淋意味着市场“腐败”了。)”提到了“市场”这一概念;下文“Consumption upgrades may boost demand and expensive ice-cream exists because some consumers like it.(消费升级可能会刺激需求,昂贵的冰淇淋之所以存在,是因为一些消费者喜欢它。)”提到了消费升级可能会刺激需求,这是一种市场发展规律。D项“The development of a market has its own rules(市场的发展有其自身的规律)”与上下文对应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
上文“Zhao Xuekuan, a senior ice-cream dealer agrees with me. His shop has probably the widest variety of ice-creams m the market.(资深冰淇淋经销商赵学宽同意我的观点。他的店可能是市场上种类最多的冰淇淋店。)”提到了冰激凌经销商赵学宽的店是市场上种类最多的冰激凌店;下文“but young customers favor fancier ones.(但是年轻的顾客更喜欢花哨的。)”转折提出了年轻顾客喜欢花哨的。由此可推知,设空处与下文语义相反相对。G项“He said that the bestsellers in his shop are always classic types that cost less than 5 yuan each(他说,店里卖得最好的总是单价不到5元的经典款式)”与上下文对应。故选G项。
【20题详解】
设空处位于段首,应与下文大意保持一致;下文“It’s a good thing that recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a new rule that goods must be sold with a clearly marked price tag, or the retailer will be fined up to 100, 000 yuan. Let the fair play carry on and consumers will make their own choices.(最近,国家市场监督管理总局发布了一项新规定,规定商品销售必须明确标价,否则零售商将被处以最高10万元的罚款。这是件好事。让公平竞争继续下去,消费者会做出自己的选择。)”提到了市场监督管理局发布的新规定。F项“Of course, market supervisors should still monitor ice-cream pricing closely(当然,市场监管机构仍应密切关注冰淇淋的定价)”与下文的新规定对应。故选F项。

47. 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。
The two kids were whispering. Their dad, Jason, could hear them, but they didn’t know that. Jason listened intently.
”…and now I can’t sleep,” he heard his daughter say. “It’s okay, Ashley. Mom and Dad are sleeping. I’ll help you,” Todd said. “Thanks,” said Ashley.
Jason silently opened his bedroom door. His wife was asleep, and he decided not to wake her up. He watched as the two slinked (溜) down the stairs. He followed, unseen, unheard. The kids went to the living room. He watched as his son, Todd, put a blanket on the floor. He watched as Todd arranged the couch pillows on the blanket, against the couch. Ashley sat on the blanket and held her favorite teddy bear.
“I’ll be right back,” whispered Todd. Jason held still as Todd went to the kitchen. He quietly watched as Todd carefully made two peanut butter and jelly-sandwiches. And he watched as Todd went back to the living room and sweetly handed his sister a sandwich. Ashley gave Todd a smile. Jason wondered what show the kids would watch on television so late at night. He decided to find out before making his presence known. He did not expect to see what he saw next.
Ashley turned on a small flashlight. Todd picked up a book that Jason hadn’t noticed before. One of the two had carried it downstairs. “Okay Ashley, this was one of my favorites when I was little,” said Todd. Jason smiled in his hiding place in the dark. Todd was only nine. He watched, unable and not wanting to look away, Todd read in a voice just above a whisper while Ashley sat and listened and very quietly chewed. Her head rested on her brother’s shoulder, and she looked so peaceful. Could these really be the same children who had been fighting only a few hours earlier?
Todd read another book, which Jason had also not seen earlier. Then Todd said, “That’s all we can do, Ashley. My teacher said we have to get at least eight hours of sleep. Give me a second to eat my sandwich, okay?”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jason saw the brother was making sure that he did what his teacher said.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jason went quietly into his room and opened his journal.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Jason saw the brother was making sure that he did what his teacher said. He admired Todd’s sense of responsibility and caring for his sister. As he watched them in the dim light, a wave of love and pride washed over him. It was moments like these that made all the challenges of parenting worth it. Being a father meant witnessing these small but significant acts of kindness and compassion between his children. He realized that despite their occasional fights and disagreements, they truly loved and cared for each other.
Jason went quietly into his room and opened his journal. He wanted to capture this beautiful moment and the emotions it evoked in him. He wrote about the bond between Todd and Ashley, and how it filled his heart with joy and gratitude. He reflected on the journey of parenthood, the ups and downs, the sleepless nights and the moments of pure bliss like this one. He knew that being a parent was a privilege, and he wanted to cherish every precious memory.

See Mohegan Bluffs
As dramatic as any scenery in New England, the Mohegan Bluffs are 150-foot clay cliffs on the south side of Block Island. Unforgettable Atlantic Ocean views await those who descend a wooden staircase more than 140 steps to the sliver of sand below. The only protection you’ll need when you go to this spot is sunscreen.

Climb to the Top of Southeast Light
Block Island’s Southeast Light seemed doomed to fall into the sea. Erosion threatened this 1874 brick beacon until it was safely moved inland in 1993. The lighthouse’s small museum is open free to the public between Memorial Day weekend and the second Monday in October, and for a fee, you can often venture to the top of the tower on a tour: the 360-degree island views are worth it.

When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
4. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning?
A. He was unwilling to attend it. B. He was excited to take part in it.
C He was astonished to hear about it. D. He was unhappy to withdraw from it.
5. How did the poetry project benefit the author?
A. It boosted his confidence. B. It developed his sense of humor.
C. It reminded him to be independent. D. It taught him how to organize activities.
6. What can be inferred about Summit Learning?
A. It proves the limits of one’s abilities. B. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
C. It transforms the traditional way of learning. D. It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.
7. How does the author find Summit Learning now?
A. Demanding. B. Admirable. C. Upsetting. D. Conventional.

Scientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world. Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land.
Solar panels — also known as “photovoltaic” panels — are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaies (浮动光伏)”.
The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs (水库) worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large — more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year. And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world. The researchers described the results as “remarkable”.
The scientists found that floatovoltaies would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less). The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need.
Floatovoltaies can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaies a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy. Putting solar panels on water also means that there’s no need to clear land for a solar farm. That’s more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.
8. What did the researchers think of the study results?

Nuclear bombs. That’s the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids (小行星) and comets as far as Hollywood is concerned. Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons, delivered by stars like Bruce Willis, to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality, if astronomers spotted a dangerous in-coming space rock, the safest and best answer might be something more subtle, like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That’s just what NASA did on Monday evening, when a spacecraft headed straight into anasteroid called Dimorphos, which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth. It’s about 525 feet across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed (传输) as the crash neared, the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned, they said, with nothing going wrong. “As far as we can tell, our first planetary defense test was a success,” said Elena Adams, the mission systems engineer, who added that scientists looked on with “both terror and joy” as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The crash was the peak of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a 7-yearand more than $300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity’s first-ever test of planetary defense technology. It will be about two months, scientists said, before they will be able to determine if the crash was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course, probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. “We’ve tracked lots of space rocks especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events. Thankfully, none currently threaten Earth. But many asteroids the size of Dimorphos haven’t yet been discovered, and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down,” explains Lindley Johnson, NASA’s Planetary Defense Officer.
12. Why does the author mention the movies?
A. To make a prediction. B. To provide a possibility.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a comparison.
13. What can we infer from the passage?
A. . Dimorphos could cause extinction-level events.
B The 7-year program has drawn a conclusion.
C. NEO Surveyor has tracked lots of space rocks.
D. NASA pushed Dimorphos by crashing.
14. Which statement does Lindley Johnson most possibly agree with?
A. Larger asteroids will not be a threat to Earth.
B. NASA should shoulder the responsibility for the crash.
C. NEO Surveyor is expected to discover asteroids the size of Dimorphos.
D. Asteroids like Dimorphos are more destructive than other larger ones.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. An intentional crash in space B. A threat to Earth from asteroids
C. The contribution to space safety D. The impact of planetary defense technology

47. 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。
The two kids were whispering. Their dad, Jason, could hear them, but they didn’t know that. Jason listened intently.
”…and now I can’t sleep,” he heard his daughter say. “It’s okay, Ashley. Mom and Dad are sleeping. I’ll help you,” Todd said. “Thanks,” said Ashley.
Jason silently opened his bedroom door. His wife was asleep, and he decided not to wake her up. He watched as the two slinked (溜) down the stairs. He followed, unseen, unheard. The kids went to the living room. He watched as his son, Todd, put a blanket on the floor. He watched as Todd arranged the couch pillows on the blanket, against the couch. Ashley sat on the blanket and held her favorite teddy bear.
“I’ll be right back,” whispered Todd. Jason held still as Todd went to the kitchen. He quietly watched as Todd carefully made two peanut butter and jelly-sandwiches. And he watched as Todd went back to the living room and sweetly handed his sister a sandwich. Ashley gave Todd a smile. Jason wondered what show the kids would watch on television so late at night. He decided to find out before making his presence known. He did not expect to see what he saw next.
Ashley turned on a small flashlight. Todd picked up a book that Jason hadn’t noticed before. One of the two had carried it downstairs. “Okay Ashley, this was one of my favorites when I was little,” said Todd. Jason smiled in his hiding place in the dark. Todd was only nine. He watched, unable and not wanting to look away, Todd read in a voice just above a whisper while Ashley sat and listened and very quietly chewed. Her head rested on her brother’s shoulder, and she looked so peaceful. Could these really be the same children who had been fighting only a few hours earlier?
Todd read another book, which Jason had also not seen earlier. Then Todd said, “That’s all we can do, Ashley. My teacher said we have to get at least eight hours of sleep. Give me a second to eat my sandwich, okay?”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jason saw the brother was making sure that he did what his teacher said.
