B A Secret Code “See you at Open House(学校开放日)tonight,.Amyl”my friend Evelyn shouted from the school bus window."Don't forget to ask your mom if I can come over tomorrow!" "OK!"I called back,forcing a smile.As the bus drove away,a knot of worry tightened in my stomach.I wished I could share Evelyn's excitement about my first Open House at this new school,but all I felt was a cold dread.What would other kids say when they found out my parents are deaf?The question echoed in my mind,a familiar and unwelcome companion. I wanted Evelyn to visit,but the thought also filled me with anxiety.Would she see my house as a strange,silent world?My parents use a video phone so they can use sign language to communicate with callers.We have a light on the wall that flashes when the phone or doorbell rings,and our TV is always set to show the captions )To me,these were just normal parts of home,but through a friend's eyes,would they seem odd? When darkness fell,Dad drove us to the brightly lit school.The familiar building looked different at night,almost foreign.Walking down the hallway,the usual daytime chatter was replaced by a low hum of adult voices,making me feel strangely out of place. We stopped in front of the notice board."Look at Amy's picture!"Mom said,her voice louder than she realized.She can't hear herself,and her excitement often came out in volume. A few older kids turned to stare,their curious glances feeling like spotlights.My cheeks grew warm,and I wished I could disappear into the floor. Just then,my teacher,Ms.Jennings,walked over.I took a deep breath and introduced her to my family,quietly explaining that my parents are deaf."It's nice to meet you,"Mom said, her hands moving gracefully as she signed the words. Out of the corner of my eye,I saw some of my classmates watching us,whispering behind their hands.My heart sank.Then I noticed Evelyn and her mom standing by the door,and my stomach dropped even further. Evelyn approached me,her eyes wide not with pity,but with curiosity."Hi,Amy,"she 第6页（供12页） said."I didn't know your parents are deaf." "Yeah,"I mumbled,bracing for the usual awkwardness. "And you can talk to them with your hands?That's so cool!"she said,a genuine smile spreading across her face. "You think so?"I asked,feeling a wave of relaxation wash over me,the tight knot in my stomach finally loosening. Evelyn nodded enthusiastically."It's like a secret code.Would you teach me some words sometime?” A real,unstoppable smile spread across my face."Of course." Then,with a new sense of pride,I turned to get my parents'attention."Mom,Dad,"I said, my hands moving confidently,"I'd like you to meet my friend Evelyn and her mom." 39.How did Amy feel about her first Open House at the beginning? A.Worried. B.Surprised. C.Excited D.Strange. 40.From the passage,we can infer that Amy's house is special because A.there are many unique decorations on the walls B.it is equipped to adapt to her parents'needs C.it is much quieter than any other house D.her family doesn't allow visitors often 41.Amy felt relaxed at last because A.her classmates said hello to her family B.her mother was very happy to see her picture C.her friend thought it cool to use sign language D.her teacher walked over and talked to her family C 3D Food Printing:Shaping the Future of Cooking In the summer of 2016,London introduced an exciting new dining idea.Food Ink,the world's first 3D-printing restaurant,opened its doors,serving a nine-course meal prepared right in front of the guests using 3D printers.This event featured a unique mix of technology and cooking,where even the furniture and dishes were made using this innovative technology. At its heart,3D food printing works on the same idea as other 3D printing:additive manufacturing(增材制造)，which builds an object layer by layer..The important difference is 第7页（共12页） in the materials used.While regular 3D printers use spools of plastic,food printers use containers like syringes filled with edible(可食用的)ingredients that have been pureed (煮成浓汤或者酱)or turned into a paste.This allows for the creation of edible items with exact shapes,textures,and detailed designs that would be hard to make by hand. While fancy restaurants show off its creative possibilities,3D food printing has benefits that go beyond just gourmet meals().Researchers are looking at how it can help fight global hunger.This technology allows for the mass production of food using powdered, nutritious ingredients,resulting in products that are cheap to make and have a long shelf life-an extremely important advantage for a growing world population. One big promise of this technology is its ability to personalize food for individual health needs.For example,elderly people who find it hard to chew often need pureed food,which can be unappealing(不诱人的).With3 D printing,.organizations can now create versions of vegetables from food pastes,making them easier to chew while using gelling agents to keep their familiar shape,thus encouraging better nutrition. 3 D food printing also offers a strong sustainable(持续性的)advantage..It helps with precise portion (control and ingredient use,greatly reducing food waste in both restaurants and home kitchens.Additionally,it can use alternative ingredients,such as plant-based proteins or food by-products,to create appealing dishes,supporting a more efficient and environmentally friendly food system. From making personalized meals for astronauts on long space missions to giving chefs new creative freedom,3D food printing is opening new doors in the cooking world.It is not just a new method of preparing food but a powerful tool that connects nutrition,sustainability, and art. 42.What is the main difference between 3D food printing and other types of 3D printing? A.It uses a much faster printing process B.It builds objects using a layering technique. C.It uses edible materials instead of plastic. D.It requires more expensive machines to operate. 43.What possible solution for world hunger is connected to 3D food printing in the text? A.Training more people to become chefs. B.Using powdered ingredients to create long-lasting food. C.Inventing new flavors that everyone will enjoy. D.Building more traditional farms in cities. 第8页（共12页） 44.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To explain how 3D food printing works. B.To discuss what 3D food printing has brought us C.To show the possibilities created by 3D food printing. D.To stress the importance of 3D food printing to the world. D In science,new discoveries happen every day,but real breakthroughs()are rare. What leads to these world-changing moments? Interestingly,some breakthroughs often begin by accident,mixed with a bit of curiosity. Scientists may start down one path,only to find a reason to switch to another they never expected-a path that might lead to nowhere.Yet,sometimes,that very path leads to great discoveries like X-rays and vaccines(疫苗). Sometimes,scientists get a "crazy"idea they can't stop thinking about.They discuss it with experienced colleagues,who often point out the potential for failure and the risk to their careers.However,the idea stays with them,and they feel forced to follow it,even if it leads to failure.Some scientists become deeply attached to these unusual ideas. However,scientists pursuing breakthroughs often face challenges.Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin largely by luck,but his finding was initially met with disinterest.Katalin Kariko,whose work made mRNA vaccines possible,faced years of doubt and refusal before her determination paid off.By following their dreams,they achieved recognition (and something even greater. The stories of Fleming and Kariko had happy endings,but they are exceptions.Of course,pursuing such a dream with obsession,a single-minded focus on an unlikely goal,fails to pay off for many.Their brilliant ideas are sometimes proven wrong by nature's harsh facts. For some on the right path,they might have succeeded-if only they had designed the experiment differently,persisted longer,or not lost support. Thus,scientific breakthroughs require a society willing to invest (in dreamers, understanding that not every investment will succeed.However,the investments that do lead to breakthroughs provide great economic returns.More importantly,they can prevent suffering, save lives,and ultimately change the world. 45.The writer mentioned the examples of Alexander Fleming and Katalin Kariko to A.compare the different fields of medical science B.tell us how these scientists achieved recognition C.show the challenges scientists may face before success 第9页（共12页） D.prove the importance of luck in pursuing breakthroughs 46.The underlined word“obsession”in Paragraph5 probably means“ A.A fixed and strange idea. B.Ausual and daily habit. C.A sudden and clear understanding. D.A strong and lasting interest. 47.What can we learn from the passage? A.Scientific research always follows a clear and straight path B.A scientist's crazy idea is usually supported by their colleagues. C.Many brilliant ideas fail because nature acts in unexpected ways. D.Investments in scientific dreamers are sure to bring economic returns. 48.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.The Predictable Path to Scientific Success B.What Drives Great Scientific Breakthroughs C.What Qualities Characterize a Great Scientist D.Supporting Dreamers is Key to Scientific Progress 八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，共4道小题。49-51每题2分，52 题4分) Teenagers are learning new ways to communicate every day.It's important for them to have opportunities to meet and connect with new people.Online networking(线上社交)， which is very popular among teens today,creates quick and shallow (connections.On the other hand,offline networking,which means talking face-to-face and building relationships in person,helps create deeper connections.Teens need to practice more offline networking because it will help them become more confident communicators in person. In 2019,a survey of nearly 7,000 teens was conducted by three Swiss researchers.They found that teens were spending too much time on social networking sites.They suggested that teens should spend more time with people in real life.This can help them feel better about themselves and happier,and it also gives them a chance to share happiness with others.In other words,offline networking seems to actually improve a teen's emotional health. Face-to-face communication also helps teens learn how to understand others better. Talking in person is different from texting or posting online.Being face-to-face requires someone to think and respond quickly-without the option to delete (their words. A lot of communication is nonverbal(非语言的)，like facial expressions,gestures,and tone of voice.Teens need in-person interactions so they can learn to read these nonverbal signals,which can sometimes be even more important than the words being spoken.Soon, 第10页（共12页）
