B Different people have different ideas about the taste of coffee. For hearing-impaired barista (听障咖啡师) Zeng Zheng and his workmates in Chongqing, coffee shows a taste of happiness and gives them a new life. Together with some hearing-impaired workmates, Zeng works at a coffee shop named Yijiao Cafe, which is in Songshan General Hospital. Zhu Jiayun, head of a charity (慈善机构) for people with disabilities (残疾) in Chongqing’s Yuzhong District, set up Yijiao Cafe in May 2022. In September 2022, Yijiao started a training programme for the hearing-impaired for free. The programme interested Zeng and others who worked hard to make a living. Four out of the 15 trainees were then employed by Zhu after a strict test. In the same month, the first Yijiao Cafe, in Yuzhong District, opened its doors. In February this year, the second Yijiao Cafe opened in Songshan General Hospital. In just a month, the new coffee shop sold more than 3,700 cups of coffee. “For every 10 yuan made by the shop, 0.1 yuan is given away to the charity,” said Zhu. Zhu will open three more coffee shops this year. “I hope that Yijiao Cafe can be more than just a coffee shop. And it can also be a place where the healthy people and those with disabilities can make coffee, drink coffee, or live and work together,” Zhu said. 4. The underlined word “employed” means “______” in Chinese. A. 聘用 B. 解雇 C. 收养 D. 批评 5. Which is the right order of the following activities? a. Zhu will open three more coffee shops this year. b. The coffee shop in Songshan General Hospital opened. c. Zhu started Yijiao Cafe in May 2022. d. The Yijiao Cafe in Yuzhong District welcomed its first visitors. A. badc B. cdab C. bacd D. cdba 6.

For every ten yuan made by Yijiao Cafe, Zhu will give away one yuan to the charity. D. Zhu hopes that the healthy people and the disabled can get on well with each other in Yijiao Cafe. 7. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Charities Give a Hand to Hearing-impaired Baristas B. Buy More Coffee to Help Hearing-impaired Baristas C. Yijiao Cafe Gives Hearing-impaired Baristas a New Life D. Yijiao Cafe Makes Hearing-impaired Baristas’ Dreams Come True C As more people move away from traditional cars, the need for electric vehicles (EVs) (电动汽车) is going up. It’s not just cars, but buses and trucks that are turning to battery (电池) power. That’s great news for the environment. However, creating enough charging stations (充电站) for all these new EVs is difficult for many countries. To solve this problem, Detroit, America’s Motor City, came up with a new idea that could help. In the heart of the city, there is a mile of road that can wirelessly (无线地) charge EVs. This means no need for plugging in (插入插头). While the EVs are running on the road, they can get charged up. Oren Ezer helped start Electreon, the business behind this idea. He said, “There are endless possibilities of building such roads and cities. We are changing the future of transportation.” It’s not just in the Motor City in the US. Electreon is already working on projects in Sweden, Italy, Germany and Israel, too. The technology works like wireless charging for mobile phones. Coils (线圈) are placed under the surface of the road. EVs are fitted with special receivers. When the EVs drive over the coils, their batteries get charged. Besides encouraging more people to use EVs, this technology could help make EVs with smaller batteries. Batteries are the most expensive part of an EV, especially for trucks needing to take long trips. But if an EV can charge on the move, a smaller battery might be enough. Right now, the road in Detroit is just a test. But if it works well, we might see more of these roads in the future. And with cars becoming smarter, maybe one day we’ll all be travelling in cars that can drive and charge themselves. 8. What is difficult for the new EVs in many countries? A. The production of EVs. B. The production of batteries. C. The protection of environment. D. The creation of enough charging stations. 9. What does Oren Ezer think of Detroit’s idea? A. It is valueless. B. It has a good future. C. It is widely used now. D. It is impossible to achieve. 10. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. How coils work. B. How EV drivers work. C. How batteries get charged. D. How mobile phones get charged. 11. What does it refer to in the last paragraph? A. The technology which is used in EVs. B. The smart car which is tested in Detroit. C. The small battery which is charged on the road. D. The road with coils placed under its surface. D China published the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic (地质的) atlas (地图集) on April 21. According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), it will provide up-to-date information for future lunar research and exploration. “These maps will help choose locations for future lunar research stations,” Ouyang Ziyuan, a well-known lunar scientist, said. “They can also help us better know about the Earth and other planets in the solar system, like Mars.” The world has seen great progress in the field of lunar science over the past half a century. However, the lunar geologic atlas that was developed during the Apollo Program remained unchanged. “As lunar geologic studies develop, those old maps can no longer satisfy future needs,” said Liu Jianzhong, a CAS researcher. Since 2012, Ouyang and Liu have led a team of scientists from several research centers in compiling (编制) this atlas. Their work was mainly built on information gained from China’s Chang’e Program. Information from other research projects and international tasks was also used. The new geologic atlas, which is published in both Chinese and English, presents a scale (比例尺) of 1:2.5 million. Compared with the 1:5 million scale lunar maps from the US in 2020, these larger scale maps show more details. As well as the geologic history of the moon, they provide information on its 14 types of structures (结构) and 17 types of rocks. A total of 12,341 impact craters (撞击坑) and 81 impact basins have also been marked. This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes, such as lunar resources research and science education. Liu said the upcoming Chang’e-6 task would also use the atlas. “Our maps can help the research by providing scientific support,” he explained. “Compiling the atlas was a huge task, which included years of effort from a large number of researchers,” said Gregory Michael, a German scientist. “It will be a starting point for every new question of lunar geology.” 12. What is the great value of the new atlas? A. It is the first lunar geologic atlas in the world. B. It proves the hard work of Chinese scientists. C. It will meet the future needs in lunar studies. D. It is built on information from much research. 13. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The large size and mystery of the moon. B. The discovery of Chang’e Program. C. The details of the new geologic atlas. D. The challenges the scientists face. 14. How does the writer prove “This atlas is set to serve many useful purposes”? A. By comparing different purposes. B. By using Chang’e-6 task as an example. C. By using a German scientist’s words. D. By listing information from the new maps. 15. What’s the best title for this passage? A. The task of the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic atlas B. The value of the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic atlas C. The research of the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic atlas D. The development of the world’s first highly clear lunar geologic atlas E Reading fluency (流畅) means read quickly, smoothly, easily, and with the right expression. ____16____ Do you want to be fluent readers like them? Here are some tips that can help you become a better reader. ____17____ It is easier to read and study if you are comfortable. Make sure that there is good lighting when reading and that you are sitting in a comfortable chair. And try to read in a place where you won’t be interrupted (打扰). Don’t worry about understanding every word. Sometimes we think we must understand the meaning of everything we read. ____18____ Instead of translating the new word, first try to guess the meaning. The other words around the new word may help you guess the meaning. Read in phrases rather than word by word. Don’t point at each word while you read. When you read word by word you’re not reading on the level of ideas. You need to read on some level that allows things to come together to form ideas themselves. ____19____ Avoid sub-vocalization (默读). Sub-vocalization means read quietly. ____20____ Your eyes and brain can read much faster than you can speak. If you sub-vocalize, you can only read as fast as you can say the words. Practice reading without moving your mouths. 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 A. Look for a good place to read. B. You might be saying the words quietly in your mind. C. So practice reading in this ways—groups of words that go together. D. Children who are fluent readers make their reading sound like talking. E. Keep the habit of writing down good sentences when you are reading. F. But it isn’t always necessary to understand every word to understand the meaning. 二、语言知识运用（共20小题；满分35分） A 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） During the Warring States Period, the Qin army beat Handan.

Xu climbed the tallest peak (峰) in Africa on January 1st. She even stood on the top of Mount Qomolangma last May, making her the youngest Chinese girl to climb to the world’s highest peak from the southern slope. Xu’s mountaineering journey began on a family trip to Xizang and Sichuan four years ago. Passing by Mount Siguniang in Sichuan, she felt drawn to its beauty and decided to try climbing it. She fell in love with mountaineering right then and there. For the next few years, Xu did hard training. She went to the mountains in Yunnan and Sichuan every month, climbing peaks over 5,000 meters and doing rope skipping. All the hard work got her ready for the big challenges she would face on Kilimanjaro. Above 4,000 meters on Mount Kilimanjaro, the climate (气候) is similar to a desert, with big temperature differences. Xu spent seven days on the whole climb. During those days, she faced unpredictable weather such as rain and strong winds. Staying warm and avoiding heat loss were main challenges. She had to keep an eye on temperature and change her clothes when the temperature changed. This climb was also a learning experience for Xu. She was climbing with Xia Boyu, the first Chinese climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma with a prosthetic (假肢) leg. “Every time I felt like giving up, just seeing Xia was enough to inspire me. He was almost 74 years old, but was still pushing on despite (尽管) having bloodied legs from his prosthesis,” Xu said. Looking ahead, Xu has set great goals for herself. She plans to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents (洲，大陆) by the time she’s 18. 41. Why did Xu Zhuoyuan become a mountaineer?

My favorite traditional Chinese culture is calligraphy, which has a long history. I started learning calligraphy at eight. At first it was challenging for me to use the brush to write Chinese characters. My wrist would ache after holding the brush for a long time. Fortunately, with the help of my teacher, I gradually improved. Now, I can write spring couplets for my family every year. It makes me proud. Learning calligraphy has a great influence on me. I become more patient and careful thanks to years of practice. I also feel honored to be able to pass down this traditional Chinese culture. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
