When Wheeler was young, he was very interested in science. When he turned 8, he decided he wanted to talk with the ISS using ham radio (业余无线电).
To make this happen, a ham radio was not enough. He also needed a satellite tracker (卫星跟踪器). He made his own tracker with a 3-meter-long antenna (天线), and two more small trackers made of Lego. “I wanted to use a fun, practical way to teach students about electrical (电机) engineering,” said Wheeler. So he 3D-printed a desktop satellite tracker.
The program helped Wheeler win second prize in the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, one of the top middle school STEM competitions in the US.
Wheeler wasn’t only interested in talking to the astronauts himself. He wanted to let his friends talk to them too. For him, science is everything. “I like to face challenges (挑战),” he said. “I really want to get a result that will work.”

12. What did Wheeler decide to do at the age of 8?
A. Help friends learn science. B. Work as an astronaut.
C. Talk to astronauts in space. D. Go to work on the ISS.

A. Wheeler made his device B. Wheeler’s device worked
C. Wheeler taught other kids D. Wheeler played with Lego
14. What can we learn about Wheeler from the last paragraph?
A. He wants to be an engineer. B. He shows an interest in science.
C. He is in a 3D-printing club. D. He meets problems every day.
15. What might be the best title for the passage?

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了杨女士和她的儿子在甘肃敦煌鸣沙山月牙泉景区参与捡垃圾的环保活动,以及该活动的持续时间和清洁工对此的感受。
【31题详解】
句意:她和她的儿子在甘肃敦煌的鸣沙山月牙泉景区玩得很开心。根据“She and her son...”可知,空处缺少动词。根据下文可知,本句的时态为一般过去时,因此用had fun“玩得开心”,动词短语作谓语。故填had fun。
【32题详解】
句意:她孩子为了礼品兴奋地去捡垃圾。根据“Her child was excited to pick up trash (垃圾) for...”可知,空处缺少名词。因此用presents“礼品”,名词作宾语,复数形式表泛指。故填presents。
【33题详解】
句意:她说:“这很有意义”。根据“It teaches children that they should put trash in the right place.”可知,捡垃圾这个活动可以教育孩子把垃圾放在正确的地方,这个活动是有意义的。因此用meaningful“有意义的”,作表语。故填meaningful。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述中国女孩赵洋在法国街头演奏琵琶的经历,展现她传播中国文化的故事。
【46题详解】
句意:她因在斯特拉斯堡街头演奏琵琶而走红。根据上文“Zhao Yang, a 24-year-old Chinese girl, studies in Strasbourg, France.”可知,赵洋为女性,这里应用人称代词主格she,在句中作主语,位于句首,首字母要大写。故填She。
【47题详解】
句意:赵洋4岁开始学琵琶,如今和来自世界各地的人分享她的音乐。share sth. with sb.“和某人分享某物”,动词短语。故填with。
【48题详解】
句意:她为了一个视频项目开始在街头表演,并发现很多人喜欢她的音乐。与前文“began”(一般过去时) 并列,此处应用find的过去式found。故填found。
【49题详解】
句意:从那以后,赵洋空闲时通常会在法国街头弹琵琶。修饰动词 “plays”,应用形容词usual的副词形式usually。故填usually。
【50题详解】
句意:尽管赵洋大部分时间演奏传统琵琶曲,但她仍想尝试新事物。根据“Zhao plays traditional pipa music most of the time, she still wants to try something new.”可知,前后句是让步关系,应用although/though“尽管”引导状语从句,位于句首,首字母要大写。故填Although/Though。
【51题详解】
句意:2023年,她演奏了一首法国歌剧里的歌曲。根据下文“song from a French opera”可知,此处是指一首法国歌剧里的歌曲,应用不定冠词表泛指,且“song”是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【52题详解】
句意:那是她第一次将琵琶演奏与现代音乐融合。空格后是名词“time”,前面有“her”,此处需用序数词first“第一”来修饰“time”。故填first。
【53题详解】
句意:之后,她开始用新方式将琵琶与摇滚、流行音乐结合。根据下文“playing the pipa in different styles”可知,尝试不同风格的音乐,自然会用到多种新方式,应用可数名词way的复数形式。故填ways。
【54题详解】
句意:赵洋认为用不同风格弹琵琶能让它更受欢迎,赋予它新生命。“much”后接形容词比较级,popular的比较级是more popular。故填more popular。
【55题详解】
句意:很多人来看她的表演,她说看到他们享受音乐、了解中国文化的感觉很棒。根据“it’s great …”可知,此处考查固定句型“it’s+形容词+ to do sth.”,意为“做某事是……的”;因此,这里用不定式to see。故填to see。

Have you ever thought about talking with people working in space? This is something Ezekiel Wheeler from the US began to try when he was 8. Now, as a homeschooled 13-year-old boy, he made a device (设备) by himself to help others speak to astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS).
When Wheeler was young, he was very interested in science. When he turned 8, he decided he wanted to talk with the ISS using ham radio (业余无线电).
To make this happen, a ham radio was not enough. He also needed a satellite tracker (卫星跟踪器). He made his own tracker with a 3-meter-long antenna (天线), and two more small trackers made of Lego. “I wanted to use a fun, practical way to teach students about electrical (电机) engineering,” said Wheeler. So he 3D-printed a desktop satellite tracker.
The program helped Wheeler win second prize in the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge, one of the top middle school STEM competitions in the US.
Wheeler wasn’t only interested in talking to the astronauts himself. He wanted to let his friends talk to them too. For him, science is everything. “I like to face challenges (挑战),” he said. “I really want to get a result that will work.”
11. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By describing a job. B. By asking a question.
C By giving an example. D. By making a prediction.
12. What did Wheeler decide to do at the age of 8?
A. Help friends learn science. B. Work as an astronaut.
C. Talk to astronauts in space. D. Go to work on the ISS.
13. Para 3 mainly shows us how ________.
A. Wheeler made his device B. Wheeler’s device worked
C. Wheeler taught other kids D. Wheeler played with Lego
14. What can we learn about Wheeler from the last paragraph?
A. He wants to be an engineer. B. He shows an interest in science.
C. He is in a 3D-printing club. D. He meets problems every day.
15. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. A Game Played by Astronauts B. A Competition between Students
C. A Talk with an Astronaut D. A Boy Loving Space Science
