When I walked along a riverbed sadly, I suddenly realized it was New Year’s Day, a day to start afresh (重新). I passed by a man holding his son, one or two years old. The baby’s face was in pure joy, and his bright eyes were full of wonder. The simple sweetness of the baby made me moved. Walking on, I saw a young couple repairing their bicycle. They smiled at me and said, “Happy New Year!” I smiled and wished them the same. It was a simple thing.but for a moment it brought me a sudden joy. I kept walking, enjoying the cheerful singing of birds. With people around laughing out loud, an old woman immersed (沉浸) herself in her sewing. She didn’t seem either happy or sad. A feeling of timeless peace flowed through me and all fear of what the future might bring disappeared. I thanked her in my heart, and moved on. As I reached home, I was filled with great thanks and hope for life, which took me a long time to find. Actually, happiness could be simple and easy. Now I knew whatever the New Year would bring, there would be joy and enough love to help me through the hard times we all had to face. “Happy New Year!” I said to myself. 41.

C A research group, led by a scientist Professor Lilach Hadany at Tel Aviv University, have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants talk, particularly in certain stressful situations. Plants were put in a sound-proof chamber (隔音室) and were recorded by two microphones. Some plants were in need of water, others were cut, and a control group were left undamaged. The researchers used an AI algorithm to separate the sounds successfully identifying the differences between the sounds made depending on whether they were dry or cut. On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20kHz, but the sounds produced by plants are in the 40-80kHz region, far beyond our hearing capabilities. That doesn’t mean they can’t be heard. “White unnoticed to the human ear, the sounds sent out by plants can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice, and insects,” Hadany tells us. Though this has yet to be proven, it’s possible that these animals use this information for their benefit, choosing which plants to eat, for example. While farming has become a science itself, there’s still a lot of estimation (估计) involved. If farmers were able to receive exact information directly from their crop, they could start a much more efficient method of care. The study thinks that more proper irrigation (灌溉) could save up to 50% of water cost and greatly improve the product. “In times when more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, efficient water use becomes even more necessary, for both food safety and natural environment.” They would also be able to better identify and control disease in a crop. The sounds sent out by plants are not cries for help, but rather a by-product of material stress rather than communication. Just as Hadany notes, “Obviously, a wonderful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It’s just that we can’t hear the sounds.” 46. The author tries to tell the readers in Para. 2 . A. the differences between the sounds B. the process of the experiments C. the inventions from the farmers D. the function of the plants 47. The researchers’ findings may contribute to the farmers of . A. earning a lot of money B. taking good care of their crop C. recognizing the origin of the plant D. making full preparations for a discovery 48. What can be learned about the experiment in Para. 3? A. Some insects can notice the smell of the plants. B. Not all the people can improve their work efficiency. C. Neither animals nor plants can hear the sounds by people. D. Some animals may use the sounds by plants to choose food. 49. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Why people conduct experiments with plants. B. Science matters, and we are making it. C. Plants talk, and now we are listening. D. How plants reduce their stress. 50. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To promote a new technology. B. To recommend a research team. C. To introduce a scientific discovery. D. To explain a historical event. D Natural disasters can cause environmental changes. How will cities use technology to maintain (维持) power during natural disasters in the future? Some smart middle school students are already thinking about this question. Teams of students from around the world explained their ideas on this topic at the Future City competition, which recently took place in Washington, DC. Students from Justice Page Middle School in Minneapolis, US, were on one of the teams. Instead of using popular technologies like flying cars and AI, the students from Justice Page Middle School took a more simple approach to the topic. They spent weeks developing their ideas and building a model to show them. They chose the city of Maui in Hawaii as the setting for their project. They chose this city because several different kinds of natural disasters had happened there in the past. In their project, they covered roofs in the city with solar panels (太阳能池板), which can produce and store power. When a power failure happens, the stored power can be sent to different neighborhoods. The students brought their model to life with 3D printing technology. They printed the parts they needed. To make the model more real, they made a base out of wood and grass. The model has lights and even a small train that travels back and forth. The team did not win the competition, but the experience was valuable. One competitor of the team, Ryan Rowell, 13, said he thought it was cool to think about things that he hadn’t considered before. He also saw how other teams advertise their models and interesting ideas. He said he wanted to keep learning about engineering. 51. Which word can be used to describe the competition? A. National. B. Unfair. C. Meaningless. D. Technological. 52. The underlined word “approach”in Para 3 can be replaced by “ ” A. model B. way C. service D. task 53. Paragraph 4 is written to . A. explain how a power failure happens B. show how the students’ project works C. list the ideas that the students used D. explain why the students’ model succeeds 54. What do we know about the team from Justice Page Middle School? A. They won the competition in the end. B. They made great efforts for their project. C. They chose Minneapolis as the setting for their project. D. They wanted to use popular technologies in the competition. 55. What do we know about Ryan Rowell? A. He learned a lot in the competition. B. He was a teacher in Justice Page Middle School. C. He thought advertising his team’s idea was hard. D. He was disappointed at losing the competition. 第二部分 主观题 第四节 阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In the 1950s, when I was young, I lived in Houston, Texas. As I grew up, the city grew up. To me, the most exciting changes were that one big building after another went up. I think that's what made me want to be an architect, and I wanted to take part in building one. In high school, I took a class called drafting (绘图). There I learned how to use many different tools to draw plans for building things. I was the only girl in the class, and others laughed at me. But I k new what I wanted to do, so I didn’t mind the jokes. When I was 16, I found my first summer job with an engineering company. I worked in the drafting room with 60 men on one of the biggest engineering projects of our century—the Trans-Alaska Pipeline (管道). That pipeline now carries oil south across Alaska from oil wells near the Arctic Ocean down to the Pacific. That summer I learned a lot about how a huge structure is designed and what it’s like to work in a team. One of my bosses from that summer said he knew that was the secret of my success. The engineers liked my work so much that they asked me to come back. I worked there for the next five summers. During those years, I studied architecture at the University of Texas. I discovered that the best way to learn about architecture is to look at the world around me. To remember what I saw. I always carried a notebook with me so I could make quick drawings. After I graduated from college, I made my dream come true. 56. What made the author want to be an architect? (no more than 5 words) 57. What did the author learn in her drafting class?

As the summer vacation is coming, I’ve made a plan to make the most of it. I’ll start each day by doing sports. For example, I’ll cycle around the lake for an hour in the morning and practice yoga at home in the evening. These activities can help me relax after a busy school year and keep my body strong. In the afternoon, I’ll read books about history and science. I’ve picked up a book named A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, which I believe will open my eyes to the universe. Besides, I’ll read some novels written by Chinese authors, like The Story of the Stone, to improve my English reading skills. I think it’s important to stay active and curious during the break. Exercise keeps me healthy, while reading helps me grow wiser. I hope these plans will make my vacation meaningful and prepare me for the new term. If you have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.Wishing you a great summer too! Yours, Li Jin 范文二 Dear Chris, It’s glad to hear from you!
