When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.
In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.”
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams.
4. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text?
A. To call on people to prepare for disasters.
B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience.
C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast.
D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist.
5. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text?
A. Climate change. B. People’s injury.
C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience.
6. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph?
A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous.
7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?
A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了Ashley Ruiz的职业生涯和个人经历,介绍了她作为气象预报员的工作内容、面临的挑战、对天气变化的看法,以及她如何克服数学难题成为首位女性首席气象预报员的经历。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee—and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.(2020年,一场龙卷风袭击了Ruiz位于田纳西州查塔努加的家乡——甚至离她家更近的地方。所以她说她知道这是一份救命的工作。)”可知,文章提到Ruiz家乡发生的灾难是为了展示她对气象预报员工作的理解。她亲身体验了龙卷风对家乡的破坏,因此她深刻理解这份工作的重要性和救命的性质。这一经历使她更加明白作为气象预报员的责任和使命。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.( Ruiz谈到了新的和变化中的天气模式。她说:“我们绝对看到了天气的变化,风暴更加剧烈和频繁,这与气候变化有关。”随着地球变暖,天气到处都在变化。干旱更频繁,风暴更猛烈,气温变化更大。这使得预测天气变得困难。)”可知,气候变化使得天气变得更加难以预测,因此是预测天气的一个挑战。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.”(Ruiz一直知道自己对天气及其对世界的影响感兴趣。但她成为气象学家的道路并不容易。她说:“我在数学上挣扎得很厉害,几乎想放弃了。但我一直在坚持和努力,现在我是巴吞鲁日电视市场的第一位女性首席气象预报员。我为此感到骄傲。”)”可知,Ruiz在数学上挣扎得很厉害,但她一直坚持不懈地努力工作,最终成为了巴吞鲁日电视市场的首位女性首席气象预报员。这显示了她是一个勤奋努力的人。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.(当你想到谁负责城市的安全时,你会想到哪些人?警察、消防员还是应急响应团队?你会把当地的气象预报员归入这个群体吗?这就是Ashley Ruiz选择的职业,现在她是路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日的第一位女性首席气象预报员。Ruiz为她的社区预测天气。)”以及全文内容可知,本文主要介绍了Ashley Ruiz作为气象预报员的职业生涯和个人经历,包括她如何克服困难成为首位女性首席气象预报员,以及她对天气和气候变化的看法。这种关于人物成长和成就的文章更适合出现在报纸的“People”(人物)栏目中。故选B。
C
People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (轻便梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can also help anyone else who has a hard time walking, including older people and pregnant women.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a sack (袋) of potatoes.
Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell it.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered. It doesn’t require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free. The Greek government has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece’s government hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
8. Who is Seatrac designed for?
A. Older people who move freely.
B. Youths who like to swim in the sea.
C. Women who enjoy beach baths with their children.
D. People who have trouble moving around on the beach.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The system. B. Potato. C. Ramp. D. Normal wheelchair.
10. What can we learn about the Seatrac system?
A. It’s not easy to operate.
B. Users don’t have to worry about charging it.
C. People need to have a big cost to use it in Greece.
D. It has been available at more than one thousand beaches.
11. Why does the Greek government help pay for the Seatrac service?
A. To improve the government’s image.
B. To promote the development of tourism.
C. To set up an organization for the disabled.
D. To support small and medium-sized local companies.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Seatrac系统,一种由希腊发明的太阳能驱动的轻便梯座椅,使轮椅使用者能自行轻松进入海滩游玩。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.(走路有困难的人通常很难享受海滩。但希腊数百个海滩现在为坐轮椅的人自己下水提供了一种新方式。它叫做Seatrac。)”可知,希腊在数百个海滩为行动不便的人提供了自动操作的轮椅入水坡道系统 Seatrac。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文的“Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system.(福蒂欧和他的搭档以及希腊一所大学的教授一起设计了这个系统。)”可知,Mr. Fotiou和他的搭档以及一所大学的教授设计了这个系统,划线代词it指的是上文中提到的同一个事物,所以此处指代的应是the system。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The system is solar-powered. It doesn’t require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out.(该系统是太阳能驱动的。它不需要外部电源,即使停电也能继续运行。)”可知,这个系统是太阳能驱动的,所以使用者不用担心它的充电问题。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The Greek government has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece’s government hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.(希腊政府帮助支付了这笔费用,由当地城市购买和管理设备。希腊政府希望Seatrac能帮助吸引更多游客。)”可知,希腊政府为这个轮椅系统买单,是希望Seatrac能帮助吸引更多游客,由此可知,希腊政府要帮助支付Seatrac的服务费用是想促进旅游经济的发展。故选B项。
D
In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat.
The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat-raising process. The first cells come from live animals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow to look like normal meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.
The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals.
Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird. But Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try the meat, “The most common response we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”
But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Even though the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply.
12. What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat?
A. It is created from animal cells in a laboratory.
B. It is cheaper than the normal meat.
C. America is the first country to approve selling it.
D. Two companies are allowed to do research on it.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The necessity of eating normal meat.
B. The process of creating lab-grown meat.
C. The disadvantages of raising animals for food.
D. The similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.
14. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Easy. B. Ordinary. C. Strange. D. Attractive.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Lab-grown Meat Is Outdated
B. What Exactly Is Lab-grown Meat?
C. How Is the Lab-grown Chicken Made?
D. Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了美国政府批准两家公司销售实验室培育的鸡肉的消息,并详细介绍了实验室培育肉的制作过程、环保优势、公众接受度以及面临的挑战。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat.(与普通的鸡肉不同,实验室培育的肉并不是通过饲养和宰杀鸡只来获得的。相反,它是一种在实验室中从动物细胞中培育出来的肉类产品。因此,它也被称为“细胞基”或“培养”肉。)”可知,实验室培育的鸡肉不是通过饲养和宰杀鸡只来获得的,而是从在实验室中培养的动物细胞中培育出来的。因此,我们可以知道实验室培育的鸡肉是由实验室中的动物细胞制成的。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.(饲养动物作为食物会消耗大量的土地和水资源。同时,它还会产生大量的污染。饲养动物作为食物约占全球温室气体的 15%。这就是为什么减少肉类摄入是应对气候变化最简单的方法之一。实验室培育的肉类也可以在其他方面提供帮助。饲养动物作为食物对动物来说极为残忍。它们经常被关在小空间里,并受到虐待。)”可知,第五段主要讲述了饲养动物作为食物的弊端,包括占用大量土地和水资源、产生大量污染以及占全球温室气体排放的约15%。这些内容都指出了饲养动物作为食物的不利影响,因此第五段主要讨论的是饲养动物作为食物的缺点。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat.(民意调查显示许多人对实验室培育的肉类并不太感兴趣。)”可推测,划线单词所在句指的应该是人们对这种肉类没有好感,或不喜欢。再根据下文“But Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try the meat, “The most common response we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”(但 Upside Foods 的Amy Chen表示,一旦人们尝过这种肉,“我们得到的最常见的回应是,‘哦,它的味道就像鸡肉。’”)”中的“but”可推测,划线单词的意思和“不同寻常、奇怪”相似。选项A“Easy (容易的)”;选项B“Ordinary (普通的)”;选项C“Strange (奇怪的)”;选项D“Attractive (有吸引力的)”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.(六月底,美国政府同意允许两家公司 Upside Foods 和 Good Meat 销售在实验室培育的鸡肉。这使得美国成为第二个批准实验室培育鸡肉的国家。)”以及全文内容可知,本文主要报道了美国政府同意两家公司销售实验室培育的鸡肉的消息,并详细介绍了实验室培育肉的相关内容。全文围绕“实验室培育的鸡肉即将上市”这一主题展开,因此最好的标题是D“Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming(实验室培育的鸡肉即将上市)”。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了魏思孝凭借小说《土广寸木》荣获2024年宝珀·理想国文学奖,包括该奖项情况、小说特色、外界评价及小说内容构成等信息。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:魏思孝凭借小说《土广寸木》击败其他四位入围作家,斩获2024年宝珀理想国文学奖。win… for…是固定搭配,表示“因……而赢得……”。故填for。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:魏思孝凭借小说《土广寸木》击败其他四位入围作家,斩获2024年宝珀理想国文学奖。句子已有谓语动词 has won,故此处填非谓语动词;beat与主语Wei Sixiao是主动关系,用现在分词作伴随状语。故填beating。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该奖项由瑞士奢侈腕表品牌宝珀与中国出版机构理想国于2018年联合创办,每年评选一次,旨在聚焦45岁以下的中国作家。aim to do sth.是固定用法,意为“旨在做某事”。故填to bring。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:评委们盛赞魏思孝的这部小说,既兼具细腻的现实主义笔触,又延续了中国乡土文学的传统。detailed realism和its continuation of the tradition of Chinese rural literature为并列关系,需用连词and连接。故填and。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:作品探讨了数十年间乡村生活的变迁——从传统农耕模式,到拖拉机普及、社交媒体兴起、乡村选举开展等现代场景皆有呈现。空处为形容词作定语修饰farming,tradition的形容词为traditional,表示“传统的”。故填traditional。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:不过,张定浩等评论家对魏思孝的作品是否存在重复性提出了质疑。空处引导宾语从句,从句不缺成分,引导词表示“是否”需用连接词whether/if引导。故填whether/if。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:魏思孝承认了这一点,但同时强调,自己一直在努力在每部作品中融入新的元素。空处作谓语,结合“admitted”可知,此处应为一般过去时。故填stressed。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:他的小说《土广寸木》分为两部分:《局部》(Aspects)聚焦特定人物与事件,进行细致刻画;《一年》(A Year)则以纪实手法记录乡村生活。句子描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时;因为主语His novel Tu Guang Cun Mu与divide是被动关系,小说是动作承受者,所以用被动语态;又因为主语是单数,所以填is divided。故填is divided。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:他小说《土广寸木》分为两部分:《局部》(Aspects)聚焦特定人物与事件,进行细致刻画;《一年》(A Year)则以纪实手法记录乡村生活。此空与people为并列关系,所以此空应为名词复数形式events,表示“事件”。故填events。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:这部小说清晰描绘了百余位人物的人生起落。空处应为副词修饰动词describes,clear的副词为clearly,表示“清楚地”。故填clearly。

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。
This was the first time I’d formally let my son Charlie try to do something on his own. At six years old, he was always eager to prove he was a “big kid”. Whenever I encouraged him to try small tasks like ordering food, his bright eyes would light up with excitement.
On a sunny afternoon, we passed a corner café, and he suddenly said he wanted some water. I took a deep breath, fighting the desire to get it for him, and nodded, signaling he should go to the counter himself. I watched as he straightened his small body, slowly let go of the edge of his shirt, and took slightly hesitant steps forward — like a young bird gathering the courage to fly for the first time.
He stopped at the counter, small hands holding the cold surface tightly and tiptoes reaching as high as they could go. For the first few minutes, he looked back at me from time to time, smiling with pride, his eyes saying, “Look how good I am.” But just then, a woman talking on her phone pushed through the door, walked straight to his side, and didn’t even notice the little figure beside her. A moment later, a coffee shop worker, finally free from the rush, started to approach — when the woman suddenly stepped forward and quickly placed her order.
Sitting at a corner table, I felt my heart jump into my throat (嗓子). I saw my son turn to the woman, saying something so softly that it was hard to hear. The woman lowered her phone, eyes widening as she really saw him for the first time. “Oh, honey, I’m so sorry,” she said, stepping back. “You were here first. Go ahead.” Her voice softened, carrying real regret.
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。
The waitress smiled at my son and asked, “What can I get for you, young man?”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As he went back, I stood and placed a hand on his shoulder.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The waitress smiled at my son and asked, “What can I get for you, young man?” That’s when he raised his voice, his clear childish tone cutting through the café’s noise: “Excuse me, I’d like a glass of water. My name is Charlie, thank you, ma’am.” Each word landed with the weight of a small stone, firm and unshakable. The waitress’s smile broadened as she turned to the sink, filling a tall glass with fresh water and placing it gently in my son’s outstretched hands.
As he went back, I stood and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You did an amazing job,” I said. “Not just asking for what you needed, but doing it politely even when upset. That’s real grown-up behavior.” A small smile played on his lips, reaching his eyes. The water tasted sweeter, I could tell, from the pride in every drink. It was a small step, but I knew it would be the first of many brave ones to come.

When visiting, bring a strong dog collar, as your pet will have plenty of space to explore and adventure.
Point Isabel Regional Shoreline
Situated along the San Francisco Bay in Richmond, California, Point Isabel Regional Shoreline is one of the largest dog parks in the country, covering 23 acres. This park provides beautiful bay views and plenty of room for dogs to run and play freely. It also has a dog-friendly café and a washing station, making it a convenient and fun spot for a full day of activities. The open environment means durable dog collars are a must to ensure your pet’s safety during their adventures.

In Columbia, Missouri, Cosmo Park is home to one of the largest dog parks in the Midwest.

When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.
In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.”
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams.
4. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text?
A. To call on people to prepare for disasters.
B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience.
C To offer a successful example of weather forecast.
D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist.
5. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text?
A. Climate change. B. People’s injury.
C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience.
6. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph?
A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous.
7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear?
A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health.
C
People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (轻便梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can also help anyone else who has a hard time walking, including older people and pregnant women.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a sack (袋) of potatoes.
Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell it.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered. It doesn’t require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free. The Greek government has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece’s government hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
8. Who is Seatrac designed for?
A. Older people who move freely.
B. Youths who like to swim in the sea.
C. Women who enjoy beach baths with their children.
D. People who have trouble moving around on the beach.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A The system. B. Potato. C. Ramp. D. Normal wheelchair.
10. What can we learn about the Seatrac system?
A. It’s not easy to operate.
B. Users don’t have to worry about charging it.
C. People need to have a big cost to use it in Greece.
D. It has been available at more than one thousand beaches.
11. Why does the Greek government help pay for the Seatrac service?
A. To improve the government’s image.
B. To promote the development of tourism.
C. To set up an organization for the disabled.
D. To support small and medium-sized local companies.
D
In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat.
The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat-raising process. The first cells come from live animals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow to look like normal meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.
The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals.
Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird. But Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try the meat, “The most common response we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”
But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Even though the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply.
12. What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat?
A. It is created from animal cells in a laboratory.
B. It is cheaper than the normal meat.
C. America is the first country to approve selling it.
D. Two companies are allowed to do research on it.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The necessity of eating normal meat.
B. The process of creating lab-grown meat.
C. The disadvantages of raising animals for food.
D. The similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.
14. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Easy. B. Ordinary. C. Strange. D. Attractive.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Lab-grown Meat Is Outdated
B. What Exactly Is Lab-grown Meat?
C. How Is the Lab-grown Chicken Made?
D. Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming

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。
This was the first time I’d formally let my son Charlie try to do something on his own. At six years old, he was always eager to prove he was a “big kid”. Whenever I encouraged him to try small tasks like ordering food, his bright eyes would light up with excitement.
On a sunny afternoon, we passed a corner café, and he suddenly said he wanted some water. I took a deep breath, fighting the desire to get it for him, and nodded, signaling he should go to the counter himself. I watched as he straightened his small body, slowly let go of the edge of his shirt, and took slightly hesitant steps forward — like a young bird gathering the courage to fly for the first time.
He stopped at the counter, small hands holding the cold surface tightly and tiptoes reaching as high as they could go. For the first few minutes, he looked back at me from time to time, smiling with pride, his eyes saying, “Look how good I am.” But just then, a woman talking on her phone pushed through the door, walked straight to his side, and didn’t even notice the little figure beside her. A moment later, a coffee shop worker, finally free from the rush, started to approach — when the woman suddenly stepped forward and quickly placed her order.
Sitting at a corner table, I felt my heart jump into my throat (嗓子). I saw my son turn to the woman, saying something so softly that it was hard to hear. The woman lowered her phone, eyes widening as she really saw him for the first time. “Oh, honey, I’m so sorry,” she said, stepping back. “You were here first. Go ahead.” Her voice softened, carrying real regret.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

The waitress smiled at my son and asked, “What can I get for you, young man?”

As he went back, I stood and placed a hand on his shoulder.
