Mark Twain is one of the most celebrated authors in all of American literature. Mark Twain was widely respected during his lifetime for his sharp satire(讽刺) characteristic humor, and much-loved characters.
Twain's literary journey began with his first successful story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865), a masterpiece of humor. It was not long after the publication of this story that Twain traveled to Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands, to work as a reporter. His work mainly consisted of writing travel letters which were very well-received by readers. The letters focused on humor as well as the Sandwich Islands and the success of these letters became the basis for his frequent lectures. During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations. These lectures, beyond providing him with additional money to support future travels, also brought more attention to his written works.
In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion(凝聚力)since it was written separately by the two writers. One reviewer compared it to a poorly mixed salad dressing.
Twain's next attempt at a novel was much more successful. Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games.
4. Which work marked the beginning of Twain's writing career?
A. The Million Pound Bank Note. B. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
C. The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. D. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.
5. What was one of the key topics in Twain's travel letters during the 1860s?
A. Popular lectures. B. Historical accounts.
C. The Sandwich Islands. D. The Mississippi River.
6. What can be learned from paragraph 3 about Twain's first novel?
A. It was co-written. B. It was successful.
C. It was for children. D. It was adapted into games.
7. What is a shared element in Twain's works mentioned in this text?
A. War. B. Humor. C. Love. D. Money.

Weifang, Shandong province, will exempt(免除)senior middle school tuition fees for the third child in every family born after May 31, 2021, local officials announced on Tuesday at a news conference on optimizing policies encouraging families to have more children.
The tuition fee exemption is one of a series of measures released by the city to encourage the birthrate. Others include subsidies(补贴)for universal childcare services, house purchases and medical expenses for childbirth. The government is also optimizing pregnancy leave and encouraging employers to explore flexible working schedules for female workers.
The newly released measures have received a mixed response from the public with some welcoming the policy, while others say the tuition benefit is too little and too far off to make an impact. “Is the child able to study in a senior middle school if he or she didn’t pass the examination?” said one user mockingly on the Twitter-like platform Sina Weibo.
Cities in the province have been ramping up subsidies, and education and nursery care services to encourage families to have more children.
Shandong province, with a population of over 100 million people, in 2022 recorded its lowest birthrate since 1983. “To encourage the birthrate, the government need to pay attention to the needs of families with only one child instead of only providing subsidies for couples with two or three children. Whether young couples have a high willingness to have one more child depends mostly on their experience of raising the first child,” said Gao Ming, 35, a resident of Qingdao. She added that she didn’t want to have a second children, even if Qingdao took similar measures.
8. What benefits can a woman with a third child enjoy in Weifang?
A. The whole pregnancy leave and one-year maternal leave.
B. The promise of her third child’s admission to senior middle school.
C. Free tuition fees of her third child for senior middle school.
D. The house purchases with expenses fully covered by the government.
9. The underlined word “mockingly” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ?
A. jokingly B. alarmingly C. lovingly D. willingly
10. Why does the passage end with a quote from Gao Ming?
A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a viewpoint.
C. To solve a problem. D. To make a comparison.
11. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Shandong witnessed its lowest birthrate in 2022.
B. More measures are introduced to boost childbirth.
C. Newly released measures caused different public responses.
D. Is it a blessing or a curse to have more children?
D
Getting stuck in a traffic jam is one of the most boring problems for people living in big cities.The fact that you’re moving so slowly leads too stress,anger and the wish that your car could just fly over the traffic like an airplane.
Soon,however, that wish could come true .On May 8, US car-renting company Uber showed off what it described as “the transportation mode of the future: on-demand air transport,”reported ABC News .
According to Nikhill Goel, head of products for Uber Air, the company's air taxi service may launch test flights in the US cities of Dallas and Los Angeles , as well as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, as early as 2020. If everything goes according to plan, passengers will be able to fly to work by 2023 .
When the Olympics comes to Los Angeles in 2028 . Uber “expects to have hundreds , if not thousands , of its aircraft in the skies.” Goel told Newsweek .
So what would Uber's flying vehicles be like ?
They are small , electric aircraft that take off and land vertically (垂直地) , and they give off zero emissions (排放) and are quiet enough to operate in cities .
Just like an airplane , the vehicles will have fixed wings to help them glide . But while a helicopter has just one big fixed rotor (定量) . Uber's vehicles will have multiple rotors , which will help increase fuel efficiency (效率) while reducing emissions and noise.
Because of these fixed wines and multiple rotors . Uber’s flying taxis“should be quieter and safer than a helicopter.” reported ABC News .
However , the service still has a long way to go before it's ready to accept passengers.For example , to avoid any potential accidents . Uber is working with NASA to study air traffic control problems associated with low-flying aircraft. But just as Dubai's Mayor Betty Price said in a news release . “This program is revolutionary and future -oriented (面向未来的). ”
12. Uber 's flying taxis are expected to start to take passengers in______
A. 2020 B. 2023 C. 2028 D. 2030
13. How are Uber 's flying taxis different from helicopters?
A. They have one big rotor
B. They need more fuel to fly.
C. They have fewer fixed wings
D. They should be quieter and safer
14. Which is true about the flying cars according to the passage?
A. They can be as efficient as airplanes and helicopters
B. They must be in larger number a few years later.
C. They nearly do no harm to the environment.
D. They will surely help passengers avoid accidents
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ubers plan to launch flying taxis
B. The advantages of Ubers flying taxis
C. Different opinions about Uber's flying taxis.
D. The difficulties Uber is facing in testing flying vehicles

One day, Mrs. Green asked everyone about their dream jobs. The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, police and various professions.
When Mrs. Green turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I replied firmly.
My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often return s home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my growth created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take.
Upon hearing my response, Mrs. Green remained silent. Instead, she encouraged me to reflect further.
A turning point came when our school organized a cultural festival. It was an important event, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. For my role, I needed to purchase a costume. Unfortunately, my mother was abroad, so the responsibility fell on my father. Unwillingly, I agreed, acknowledging that there was no other choice.
In the mall, my dad’s unfamiliarity with the shopping list became apparent. Despite Mom’s thorough list, we wandered aimlessly through the floors, struggling to find the necessary items. As we did, I felt a growing sense of discomfort.
Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, my father rushed forward.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the first time, I felt a sense of pride in his work.

During the 1860s, lectures were a popular form of entertainment, much like going to the cinema today. Twain's lectures offered humorous accounts of his trips to places like the Sandwich Islands, Paris, Egypt, and other various locations. These lectures, beyond providing him with additional money to support future travels, also brought more attention to his written works.
In 1873, Twain's first novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was published. It was written with his friend and neighbor Charles. While the use of humor and satire was praised in the novel, it was not considered successful due to its lack of cohesion(凝聚力)since it was written separately by the two writers. One reviewer compared it to a poorly mixed salad dressing.
Twain's next attempt at a novel was much more successful. Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of the most successful works of children's literature in history. Praised for its humor and description of life in Missouri along the Mississippi River, the novel is still in print today and has been adapted into television shows, films, stage plays, and even video games.

Weifang, Shandong province, will exempt(免除)senior middle school tuition fees for the third child in every family born after May 31, 2021, local officials announced on Tuesday at a news conference on optimizing policies encouraging families to have more children.
The tuition fee exemption is one of a series of measures released by the city to encourage the birthrate. Others include subsidies(补贴)for universal childcare services, house purchases and medical expenses for childbirth. The government is also optimizing pregnancy leave and encouraging employers to explore flexible working schedules for female workers.
The newly released measures have received a mixed response from the public with some welcoming the policy, while others say the tuition benefit is too little and too far off to make an impact. “Is the child able to study in a senior middle school if he or she didn’t pass the examination?” said one user mockingly on the Twitter-like platform Sina Weibo.
Cities in the province have been ramping up subsidies, and education and nursery care services to encourage families to have more children.
Shandong province, with a population of over 100 million people, in 2022 recorded its lowest birthrate since 1983. “To encourage the birthrate, the government need to pay attention to the needs of families with only one child instead of only providing subsidies for couples with two or three children. Whether young couples have a high willingness to have one more child depends mostly on their experience of raising the first child,” said Gao Ming, 35, a resident of Qingdao. She added that she didn’t want to have a second children, even if Qingdao took similar measures.
8. What benefits can a woman with a third child enjoy in Weifang?
A. The whole pregnancy leave and one-year maternal leave.
B. The promise of her third child’s admission to senior middle school.
C. Free tuition fees of her third child for senior middle school.
D. The house purchases with expenses fully covered by the government.
9. The underlined word “mockingly” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ?
A. jokingly B. alarmingly C. lovingly D. willingly
10. Why does the passage end with a quote from Gao Ming?
A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a viewpoint.
C. To solve a problem. D. To make a comparison.
11. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Shandong witnessed its lowest birthrate in 2022.
B. More measures are introduced to boost childbirth.
C. Newly released measures caused different public responses.
D. Is it a blessing or a curse to have more children?
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了山东省为了鼓励出生率而出台的一系列政策和措施。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Weifang, Shandong province, will exempt(免除)senior middle school tuition fees for the third child in every family born after May 31, 2021, local officials announced on Tuesday at a news conference on optimizing policies encouraging families to have more children.”(周二,山东省潍坊市官员在一场关于优化鼓励家庭多生孩子政策的新闻发布会上宣布,2021年5月31日以后出生的家庭中,第三个孩子将免缴高中学费)可知,在潍坊,生第三胎的妇女可以享受第三个孩子免除高中的学费的福利。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Is the child able to study in a senior middle school if he or she didn’t pass the examination?”(如果孩子没有通过考试,他或她能上高中吗?)并结合常识可知,这是开玩笑的说法,由此猜测,划线单词mockingly为“取笑地,开玩笑地”意思,结合选项A项jokingly“开玩笑地”意思一致。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Whether young couples have a high willingness to have one more child depends mostly on their experience of raising the first child,” said Gao Ming, 35, a resident of Qingdao. She added that she didn’t want to have a second children, even if Qingdao took similar measures.”(年轻夫妇是否愿意再要一个孩子,主要取决于他们抚养第一个孩子的经历,”35岁的青岛居民高敏(音译)说。她补充说,即使青岛采取了类似的措施,她也不想生二胎)可推知,文章的结尾引用了高明的话是为了阐明一个观点。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“The tuition fee exemption is one of a series of measures released by the city to encourage the birthrate. Others include subsidies(补贴)for universal childcare services, house purchases and medical expenses for childbirth. The government is also optimizing pregnancy leave and encouraging employers to explore flexible working schedules for female workers.”(免除学费是该市为鼓励出生率而出台的一系列措施之一。其他还包括普遍托儿服务补贴、购房补贴和分娩医疗费用补贴。政府还优化了产假,并鼓励雇主为女性员工探索灵活的工作时间安排)可知,文章主要讲的是为了鼓励出生率,山东省潍坊市出台的一系列政策和措施。故文章最适合的标题是“采取了更多措施促进生育。”故选B项。

Getting stuck in a traffic jam is one of the most boring problems for people living in big cities.The fact that you’re moving so slowly leads too stress,anger and the wish that your car could just fly over the traffic like an airplane.
Soon,however, that wish could come true .On May 8, US car-renting company Uber showed off what it described as “the transportation mode of the future: on-demand air transport,”reported ABC News .
According to Nikhill Goel, head of products for Uber Air, the company's air taxi service may launch test flights in the US cities of Dallas and Los Angeles , as well as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, as early as 2020. If everything goes according to plan, passengers will be able to fly to work by 2023 .
When the Olympics comes to Los Angeles in 2028 . Uber “expects to have hundreds , if not thousands , of its aircraft in the skies.” Goel told Newsweek .
So what would Uber's flying vehicles be like ?
They are small , electric aircraft that take off and land vertically (垂直地) , and they give off zero emissions (排放) and are quiet enough to operate in cities .
Just like an airplane , the vehicles will have fixed wings to help them glide . But while a helicopter has just one big fixed rotor (定量) . Uber's vehicles will have multiple rotors , which will help increase fuel efficiency (效率) while reducing emissions and noise.
Because of these fixed wines and multiple rotors . Uber’s flying taxis“should be quieter and safer than a helicopter.” reported ABC News .
However , the service still has a long way to go before it's ready to accept passengers.For example , to avoid any potential accidents . Uber is working with NASA to study air traffic control problems associated with low-flying aircraft. But just as Dubai's Mayor Betty Price said in a news release . “This program is revolutionary and future -oriented (面向未来的). ”
12. Uber 's flying taxis are expected to start to take passengers in______
A. 2020 B. 2023 C. 2028 D. 2030
13. How are Uber 's flying taxis different from helicopters?
A. They have one big rotor
B. They need more fuel to fly.
C. They have fewer fixed wings
D. They should be quieter and safer
14. Which is true about the flying cars according to the passage?
A. They can be as efficient as airplanes and helicopters
B. They must be in larger number a few years later.
C. They nearly do no harm to the environment.
D. They will surely help passengers avoid accidents
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ubers plan to launch flying taxis
B. The advantages of Ubers flying taxis
C. Different opinions about Uber's flying taxis.
D. The difficulties Uber is facing in testing flying vehicles

考查非谓语动词。句意:1933年,Hitler在德国掌权,Einstein发现学术机构的大门对他关闭了。句中谓语是found,空格处用非谓语动词,逻辑主语the doors of academic institutions与close为被动关系,用过去分词,作宾语补足语,故填closed。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:因此,他不得不逃离德国,前往美国。as a consequence是固定短语,意为“因此”,故填a。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:1955年4月18日,据报道Einstein去世了,全世界都为失去一位杰出的科学家而哀悼。空格处作mourned的宾语,用名词loss“失去”,是可数名词,此处特指失去Einstein这位科学家,因此用单数,故填loss。

【答案】
An Interesting Summer Vacation Story
This summer vacation, my cousin and I worked out a plan for a backyard camping adventure. We set up a small tent, hung up colored lights and prepared plenty of snacks, excited for a night of fun.
As night fell, we were deep into telling scary stories when an abrupt sound from outside the tent disturbed the calm. My cousin’s eyes widened, and I felt my heart pounding wildly. “What if it’s a wild beast?” I whispered, frozen with fear. Slowly, we peeked out — only to find my dog Max, wagging his tail, trying to dig under the tent to get to us. Laughter burst out as we let him in.
This “scary” backyard camping night, thanks to Max, became the most memorable summer story. We still joke about how our brave dog turned fear into fun.

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。
One day, Mrs. Green asked everyone about their dream jobs. The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, police and various professions.
When Mrs. Green turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I replied firmly.
My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often return s home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my growth created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take.
Upon hearing my response Mrs. Green remained silent. Instead, she encouraged me to reflect further.
A turning point came when our school organized a cultural festival. It was an important event, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. For my role, I needed to purchase a costume. Unfortunately, my mother was abroad, so the responsibility fell on my father. Unwillingly, I agreed, acknowledging that there was no other choice.
In the mall, my dad’s unfamiliarity with the shopping list became apparent. Despite Mom’s thorough list, we wandered aimlessly through the floors, struggling to find the necessary items. As we did, I felt a growing sense of discomfort.
Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist.
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。
Without hesitation, my father rushed forward.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Without hesitation, my father rushed forward. He pushed through the crowd, his demeanor calm and collected despite the chaos around him. Kneeling beside the elderly customer, he quickly assessed the situation and instructed bystanders to call an ambulance. With gentle hands, he comforted the frightened old man, assuring him that help was on the way. As he tended to the injured, my father’s expertise as a doctor shone through, and I couldn’t help but be impressed. His actions spoke louder than any words ever could, showing me a side of him I had never seen before. The crowd dispersed, and when the ambulance arrived, my father carefully explained the situation to the paramedics before they took the elderly man away. Standing there, watching him, I realized that being a doctor wasn’t just about long hours and sacrifices; it was also about making a difference in people’s lives.
For the first time, I felt a sense of pride in his work. As we walked out of the mall, I couldn’t help but ask him about his experiences as a doctor, and he shared stories of the moments that had brought him joy and fulfillment. I listened intently, seeing him in a new light. That night, when he returned home late, instead of feeling annoyed, I greeted him with a hug and thanked him for what he did. From then on, our relationship began to mend, and I found myself looking up to him in a way I never had before. My perspective on his job changed, and I realized that being a doctor wasn’t just a demanding profession; it was a calling that allowed him to touch lives and make a real impact. As I grew older, I even found myself considering following in his footsteps, inspired by his dedication and compassion.
