We usually take the subway with our subway cards or by using QR codes (二维码) on our smartphones. But the development of science and technology (科技) makes a difference to people’s lives. The subway line, Beijing Daxing Express, became the first in China to use the technology of scanning the palms (扫描手掌) in May, 2023. To enjoy the service, people need to record their palms on machines in subway stations. Then, they have to turn on the palm-scanning function (功能) on their smartphones. After they finish this, they are allowed to go through the ticket gates without subway cards or smartphones. If they finish their rides, their smartphones will pay the money.
Many people welcome the new technology. They think it helps them to travel faster and more easily. They needn’t take out their subway cards or smartphones in rush hours. What’s more, the palm-scanning technology is very friendly to people because they sometimes forget to bring their subway cards. If your phone is dead, your palms can get you into the subway station. Besides Beijing, some other cities like Shenzhen also put the new technology into service in subway stations.

B. People can go out without money.
C. People can travel faster.
31. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. The new technology is helpful to people.
B. The new technology takes the smartphone’s place.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the greatest works by Mark Twain. The book is so interesting. Even today, it is ___36___ popular among kids. Although I am in my thirties, the book remains one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have ___37___ an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What’s in your ___38___ when your mom tells you to clean the floor? Have you ever wanted to complain? I think most people have.
Tom Sawyer, however, thought “___39___” when he was given a boring task. One Saturday morning, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆). Tom’s friend Ben Rogers happened to walk past. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “___40___” about the task. “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this!” Tom said.
Tom’s ___41___ made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance (机会) to ___42___ the fence. If Tom had thought about ___43___ but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.
This story teaches me a valuable lesson: Complaining (抱怨) is ___44___. The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. However, without complaining, you’ll feel ___45___ and perhaps even do a better job!

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者重读了《汤姆·索耶历险记》,并从汤姆·索耶那里学到了一个重要的教训,就是抱怨是没有用的。
【36题详解】
句意:即使在今天,它在孩子们中仍然很受欢迎。
quickly快地;hardly几乎不;quite相当。横线上是副词修饰“popular”受欢迎,结合所给词,应是相当受欢迎。故选C。
【37题详解】
句意:最近重读这本书后,我从汤姆索亚身上学到了一个重要的教训。
learned学习;known知道;heard听到。根据后文“...an important lesson”可知,是学到一个教训。故选A。

【39题详解】
句意:然而,当汤姆索亚被赋予一项无聊的任务时,他的想法却“不同”。

We usually take the subway with our subway cards or by using QR codes (二维码) on our smartphones. But the development of science and technology (科技) makes a difference to people’s lives. The subway line, Beijing Daxing Express, became the first in China to use the technology of scanning the palms (扫描手掌) in May, 2023. To enjoy the service, people need to record their palms on machines in subway stations. Then, they have to turn on the palm-scanning function (功能) on their smartphones. After they finish this, they are allowed to go through the ticket gates without subway cards or smartphones. If they finish their rides, their smartphones will pay the money.
Many people welcome the new technology. They think it helps them to travel faster and more easily. They needn’t take out their subway cards or smartphones in rush hours. What’s more, the palm-scanning technology is very friendly to people because they sometimes forget to bring their subway cards. If your phone is dead, your palms can get you into the subway station. Besides Beijing, some other cities like Shenzhen also put the new technology into service in subway stations.
Palm-scanning has appeared in people’s lives. People believe that the technology will be widely used in more places in the near future, like paying in the supermarkets or restaurants.
28. Where was the technology of scanning the palms first used?
A. At a subway line. B. In subway stations. C. At an airport.
29. To enjoy the palm-scanning service, what should people do?
A. Turn on their smartphones. B. Record their palms. C. Pay for their subway tickets.
30. What’s the good side of using the new technology?
A. People can stop travelling in rush hours.
B. People can go out without money.
C. People can travel faster.
31. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. The new technology is helpful to people.
B. The new technology takes the smartphone’s place.
C. The new technology is good for people who get lost easily.
