The most expected ride of 2020, however, will take you for a face-to-face encounter with thrilling adventure. Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio.Inverted (倒置的) feature trains that hang suspended from the track above and leave passengers’ legs hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. With a ride time of 2 minutes 40 seconds and a track length of 4,124 +feet, Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is getting so many praises from ride fans. That is really wonderful and exciting. Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The extremely silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film. It’s loaded with laughs, and like the movies,includes some surprisingly touching moments as well. Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois. The creative company that is building this new coaster has an impressive track record of delivering incredibly smooth and satisfying thrill machines. So the expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree drop and a top speed of 72mph, which will make it the world's tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It’s both a mildly thrilling coaster with a unique cradle (摇篮) design that allows the cars to swing back and forth and a forcing “dark ride” that takes guests into the colourful mine to see the Seven Dwarfs at work. The animated characters are particularly striking in the attraction, which is the capstone of the park’s New Fantasyland expansion. 21. How does ride fans feel after riding Banshee? A. Wonderful and excited. B. Surprised and angry. C. Disappointed. D. Hopeless and happy. 22. What is Goliath made of? A. Steel. B. Wood. C. Bamboo. D. Iron. 23. How is the cradle design of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train? A. It takes guests into the colourful mine. B. It has an impressive track record. C.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了几个好玩又刺激的过山车娱乐项目。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“That is really wonderful and exciting.”（这真是太棒了，太令人兴奋了。）可知，人们在乘坐Banshee后会感觉很棒和兴奋，故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“So the expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree drop and a top speed of 72mph, which will make it the world’s tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster.”（因此，人们对歌利亚的期望很高，它将以180英尺高、85度的落差和72英里每小时的最高速度而自豪，这将使它成为世界上最高、最快、最陡的木制过山车。）可知，Goliath是木制的。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s both a mildly thrilling coaster with a unique cradle (摇篮) design that allows the cars to swing back and forth and a forcing “dark ride” that takes guests into the colourful mine to see the Seven Dwarfs at work.”（ 这是一个略带刺激的过山车，独特的摇篮设计可以让车厢来回摆动，还有一个令人兴奋的“黑暗之旅”，带游客进入五颜六色的矿井，看看七个小矮人在工作。）可知，Seven Dwarfs Mine Train的车厢是摇篮设计，可以来回摆动。故选D项。 B Katherine Johnson, a hero to American space travel and exploration, was born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority. Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college. When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939, West Virginia State’s president, Dr. John W. Davis, selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state’s flagship school, West Virginia University. In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA. She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a permanent position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration. In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations (方程式) describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified. It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report. Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl”— Johnson—to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,” Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” 24. What can we learn about Katherine Johnson’s life experience? A. Her parents attached great importance to her education. B. She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939. C. She took the lead of the West Area Computing section. D. She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been founded. 25. Why does the writer quote John Glenn’s words in the last paragraph? A. To explain Johnson’s hand calculation was tough. B. To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader. C. To prove Johnson’s hand calculations were reliable. D. To illustrate the computer’s data was not trustworthy. 26. Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson? A. Modest and sociable. B. Talented and diligent. C. Stubborn and hardworking. D. Considerate and cooperative. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Katherine Johnson: A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits B. The Story of a “Computer”: Katherine Johnson’s Early Life at NASA C. Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration D. Mathematics: The Key to John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了女性航空航天科学家凯瑟琳的职业生涯和相关事迹。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority.(她在数学和科学方面的天赋很早就显现出来了，她的父母便为她和兄弟姐妹的教育事宜做了安排，将其视为重中之重。)”可知，凯瑟琳的父母高度重视她的教育。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl” — Johnson — to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine.(1962年，John Glenn绕地球轨道飞行时，她的专业知识发挥了关键作用，格伦在很大程度上信赖Katherine，认为她能让此次任务取得成功。作为飞行前检查清单的一部分，格伦要求工程师们“找那个女孩”——即约翰逊——用她桌上的机械计算器，通过手工计算，按照与输入计算机相同的方程式算出同样的数据。)”可知，在格伦太空飞行之前，他要求凯瑟琳手动复算电脑数据，因此作者在最后一段引用了约翰·格伦的话是为了证明约翰逊的手算是可靠的。故选C。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority.(她在数学和科学方面的天赋很早就显露无遗，她的父母便安排让她和兄弟姐妹们把接受教育当作首要任务。)”可知，她是有才能的（talented），根据最后一段“Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl”— Johnson — to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine.(1962年，John Glenn绕地球轨道飞行时，她的专业知识发挥了关键作用，格伦在很大程度上信赖Katherine，认为她能让此次任务取得成功。作为飞行前检查清单的一部分，格伦要求工程师们“找那个女孩”——即约翰逊——用她桌上的机械计算器，通过手工计算，按照与输入计算机相同的方程式算出同样的数据。)”可知，她是勤奋的（diligent）。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA. She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a permanent position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration.(1953年，正值种族隔离时期，她开始在国家航空咨询委员会（NACA，该机构后来发展为美国国家航空航天局NASA）担任人工“计算员”一职。她在兰利研究中心的西区计算部门工作，该团队由同样来自西弗吉尼亚州的Dorothy Vaughan领导。这份工作后来成了她的固定职位，也为凯瑟琳在太空探索领域发挥作用奠定了基础。)”可知，文章主要介绍了女性航空航天科学家凯瑟琳的职业生涯和相关事迹，C选项“Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration(凯瑟琳·约翰逊：太空探索领域的先锋力量)”可作为最好的题目，故选C。 C For coffee lovers, the future is shaping up to be bitter and expensive, as climate change roasts the world’s key growing regions. Farmers have to dig deeper to get water. Tougher growing conditions have led Vietnamese farmers to question the value of coffee as a cash crop, with some pulling out their trees to plant black pepper and other tropical fruits. Reduced supply has already pushed the Robusta (coffee) price in 2024 to the highest level since at least 2008 — and still, rising temperatures mean future production will fall short. Regions suitable for crop production reduce globally primarily due to increased heat.Hardier varieties are expected to fare better, and for coffee that means strong, earthy Robusta. Researchers found that it would be necessary to adapt, including by replacing Arabica (coffee) with harder Robusta. However, Robusta is not a silver bullet for climate change. Researchers are still learning Robusta’s limits though it’s more tolerant to heat and to some diseases and pests. Prolonged dry periods in Vietnam and lack of irrigation water in recent years have already severely affected the productivity of Robusta coffee farms in the Central Highlands, according to a study published in 2021. In an October report, World Coffee Research (WCR) said the world may face Robusta shortages in 2040 of as much as 35 million bags when taking into account rising consumption trends and the impact of climate change on production. The world currently produces close to 80 million bags of Robusta a year. Farmers are seeing the benefit of more sustainable farming practices. Farmers have cut back on chemical fertilisers and provided shade for coffee shrubs (灌木) so they’re less exposed to the burning sun. They have also planted black pepper to diversify. When applying this, they have more income, and they can save a lot of labour. Lien, who began planting coffee nearly thirty years ago, said, “Now I see my coffee better developed, with better yields.” 28. What troubles farmers most when planting coffee? A. Lower price and less labour. B. Poor quality with bitter flavor. C. Heat pressure and water shortages D. Reduced productivity of coffee. 29. What does the phrase “silver bullet” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Essential alternative. B. Effective solution. C. Secure mode. D. Scientific conclusion. 30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the farming practices? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Opposed. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Dry periods affect the productivity of Robusta coffee farms. B. Robusta coffee price will stabilize soon. C. Vietnamse farmers are abandoning coffee farming. D. Sustainable farming is becoming popular. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化对咖啡种植的影响，包括种植条件恶化、产量下降、价格上涨等问题，同时介绍了农民们为应对这些问题所采取的可持续种植方法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For coffee lovers, the future is shaping up to be bitter and expensive, as climate change roasts the world’s key growing regions. Farmers have to dig deeper to get water. (对于咖啡爱好者来说，随着气候变化，炙烤着世界上主要的咖啡种植区，未来将变得苦涩而昂贵。农民们不得不挖得更深才能得到水。)”以及第四段中“Prolonged dry periods in Vietnam and lack of irrigation water in recent years have already severely affected the productivity of Robusta coffee farms in the Central Highlands, according to a study published in 2021. (2021年发表的一项研究显示，近年来越南持续的干旱期以及灌溉用水的短缺，已经严重影响了中部高地罗布斯塔咖啡农场的产量。)”可知，农民在种植咖啡时面临的主要问题是高温压力和水资源短缺。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Researchers found that it would be necessary to adapt, including by replacing Arabica (coffee) with harder Robusta. However, Robusta is not a silver bullet for climate change. Researchers are still learning Robusta’s limits though it’s more tolerant to heat and to some diseases and pests.(研究人员发现，有必要进行调整，包括用更耐热的罗布斯塔咖啡取代阿拉比卡咖啡。然而，罗布斯塔并不是应对气候变化的silver bullet。研究人员仍在了解罗布斯塔的局限性，尽管它对高温和一些病虫害的耐受性更强。)”可知，罗布斯塔咖啡虽然对高温和一些病虫害的耐受性更强，但并不是应对气候变化的完美解决方案，研究人员仍在了解其局限性。由此可推测出，“silver bullet”在此处应为“有效的解决方案”之意。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Farmers are seeing the benefit of more sustainable farming practices. Farmers have cut back on chemical fertilisers and provided shade for coffee shrubs (灌木) so they’re less exposed to the burning sun. They have also planted black pepper to diversify. When applying this, they have more income, and they can save a lot of labour. Lien, who began planting coffee nearly thirty years ago, said, “Now I see my coffee better developed, with better yields.”(农民们正见证着更可持续的耕作方式带来的益处。他们减少了化肥的使用，为咖啡灌木提供遮荫，使其少受烈日暴晒。他们还种植黑胡椒以实现多样化种植。采用这些方法后，他们的收入增加了，还能节省大量劳动力。近三十年前就开始种植咖啡的Lien说：“现在我看到我的咖啡长势更好，产量也更高了。”)”可知，作者通过说明可持续种植的益处和实际成效，表达了对这些种植方式的支持态度。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Farmers are seeing the benefit of more sustainable farming practices. Farmers have cut back on chemical fertilisers and provided shade for coffee shrubs (灌木) so they’re less exposed to the burning sun. They have also planted black pepper to diversify. When applying this, they have more income, and they can save a lot of labour.(农民们正见证着更可持续的耕作方式带来的益处。他们减少了化肥的使用，为咖啡灌木提供遮荫，使其少受烈日暴晒。他们还种植黑胡椒以实现多样化种植。采用这些方法后，他们的收入增加了，还能节省大量劳动力。)”可知，农民们看到了可持续种植方法的好处，并开始采用这些方法，由此可推测出，可持续种植正在变得流行。故选D。 D Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones (无人机) like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling. Together, these advancements promise to make fruit production more efficient and precise, though one is a proven solution and the other is a glimpse into farming’s future. Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards (果园), identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to weave carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees. Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently. Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently. Beyond picking, these robots also detect diseases and track the location of each fruit bin, providing farmers with valuable insights to manage their crops better. While Tevel’s drones tackle harvesting, UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype (原型) uses layered “fingers” to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming. The gripper’s motorized reels (卷轴) allow its tape-based fingers to extend and convey items like a conveyor belt. Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters. Tevel’s drones are already transforming orchards, while the GRIP-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve. The combination of real-world automation and experimental robotics highlights both the immediate benefits and long-term potential of agritech innovation. 32. What do we know about FARs? A. They can work around the clock. B. They can identify different fruits. C. They redefine the artificial intelligence. D. They perform as efficiently as human workers. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The real-time data collected by mobile apps. B. The advantages of Tevel’s drones for farmers. C. The working process of multiple drones in orchards. D. The various attitudes of the farmers to Tevel’s drones. 34. What can be inferred about UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper? A. It is inspired by human fingers. B. It is widely adopted in farming. C. It tackles the harvesting process. D. It is cost-effective but still in progress. 35. What’s the writing purpose of this text? A. To promote the use of robotics in farming. B. To compare two cutting-edge farming tools. C. To introduce two innovative agricultural technologies. D To emphasize the long-term potential of autonomous drones. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了两种创新的农业技术。一种是Tevel公司的飞行自主机器人（FARs）；另一种是加州大学圣地亚哥分校的GRIP-tape抓取器。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently.(与人工采摘者不同，这些无人机可以连续作业，不分昼夜地高效、稳定地完成采摘任务)”可知，FARs可以日夜不停地工作。故选A。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently.(农民们可以通过手机应用程序获取有关收获的详细实时信息，包括每颗水果的大小、颜色和成熟度。这些数据有助于优化采摘计划，减少浪费。多架无人机可以从一个移动平台上协同工作，高效覆盖大面积的果园)”可知，本段主要讲述了Tevel的无人机为农民带来的好处，如提供详细实时信息帮助改进收获计划、减少浪费。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters.(研究人员强调了其成本低廉且对人类安全的特点，但还需要进一步开发才能将其集成到商业包装线或收割机中)”可推知，加州大学圣地亚哥分校的GRIP-tape抓取器成本效益高，但仍在研发过程中。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“While autonomous drones (无人机) like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling.(虽然像Tevel的飞行机器人这类自主无人机已在全球范围内投入水果采摘作业，但加州大学圣地亚哥分校研发的GRIP-tape夹爪（卷尺式夹爪）则代表了农产品轻柔处理领域的下一个前沿方向)”和第二段“Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision.(Tevel的飞行自主机器人（FARs）正通过将人工智能与先进的计算机视觉技术相结合，重新定义水果采摘方式)”可推知，本文的目的是介绍两项农业创新技术。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that people use to communicate. ____36____ They can impact how people judge you in the workplace.

Be aware of your facial expressions throughout the course of the conversation, as an expressionless face can often appear as an angry expression. (当你第一次被介绍给某人时，以及在交谈过程中，在适当的时候微笑。在整个交谈过程中注意你的面部表情，因为面无表情往往会让人觉得你在生气)”强调了微笑以及注意面部表情的重要性，空处需给出具体建议及效果。G选项“微微扬起嘴角可以让你看起来平静而愉快”具体说明了如何通过面部表情来展现好的状态，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Whenever I visited my grandfather Aba, he burst with questions.

His favorite scientific tool had broken, and replacing it required a large amount of money. His mother politely said, “If you want it, you will have to earn it yourself.” So, Sheldon started what he called “The Money Project” — using science to do the everyday job of delivering newspapers. As he had planned, Sheldon’s method was special. He spent days doing research. He studied the weight of the newspaper, planned the best delivery route using maps, and even found the best throwing angle for each house. His planning board was covered in notes and drawings, looking more like a complex puzzle than a simple job plan. On his first Monday, he left home with his prepared basket. The first challenge appeared immediately: the family bicycle was too large for him. After three failed attempts to ride it, he decided to walk, pulling the basket of newspapers behind him. But the basket was so heavy that he soon felt too tired to continue. He quickly thought of a solution. Using an old board, four wheels from broken toys, and some rope, he built a simple homemade cart. Now he could pull the papers easily. Then, the weather, Sheldon had assumed clear weather, turned out different from his forecasts. A light rain began to fall. Sheldon immediately covered the newspaper basket with the plastic he had prepared. This simple action prevented what could have been a real problem. Despite these little episodes (小插曲), his first deliveries were perfect, and he felt pleased. The final challenge came at 17th Elm Street. His goal was the welcome mat, but a large, sleeping dog was lying right on top of it. Sheldon knew getting closer was too dangerous. From where he stood, he could not throw the paper properly. He stood still, his carefully made plan falling apart before this unexpected problem. 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。 After a moment of panic, Sheldon’s scientific mind took over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, “The Money Project” finally paid off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After a moment of panic, Sheldon’s scientific mind took over. Noticing the low fence beside the steps, he quickly calculated the distance and the required throwing angle. He rolled the newspaper into a tight tube. With a precise underhand throw, he sent the paper sliding smoothly along the fence. It traveled in a perfect bend around the sleeping dog and came to rest right at the front door. A small smile appeared on his face as he continued his route, the crisis expertly solved through physics. Weeks later, “The Money Project” finally paid off. Sheldon placed his carefully saved money on the counter, receiving the long-wanted scientific tool. His mother’s eyes met his, shining with pride. As he held the tool, happiness filled him — not just for having it, but for earning it. This experience brought him a greater prize: strong belief in his own mind and the knowledge that some fortunes are earned not with money, but with effort and intellect. This was the real treasure, one that would only grow with time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了九岁男孩谢尔顿为赚钱买心仪的科学工具，用科学方法送报纸时遇到各种挑战的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“一阵恐慌过后，谢尔顿的科学思维接管了一切”可知，第一段可描写谢尔顿冷静分析当时情况，运用科学思维想出安全送报的办法。 ②由第二段首句“几周后，“金钱计划”终于获得了回报”可知，第二段可描写谢尔顿成功赚到钱，买到工具，同时收获成长与感悟。 2. 续写线索：冷静思考——观察分析——想出办法——成功送报——赚到足够的钱——买到工具——收获感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到，看到：notice/spot/catch sight of ②平稳滑行：sliding smoothly/gliding smoothly ③闪烁，闪耀：shine with pride/sparkle with pride ④放置：place/put/lay 情绪类 ①微笑：A small smile appeared on his face./A faint smile crept onto his face. ②高兴：happiness filled him/he was overwhelmed with happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Noticing the low fence beside the steps, he quickly calculated the distance and the required throwing angle.

The most expected ride of 2020, however, will take you for a face-to-face encounter with thrilling adventure. Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio.Inverted (倒置的) feature trains that hang suspended from the track above and leave passengers’ legs hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. With a ride time of 2 minutes 40 seconds and a track length of 4,124 +feet, Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is getting so many praises from ride fans. That is really wonderful and exciting. Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The extremely silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film. It’s loaded with laughs, and like the movies,includes some surprisingly touching moments as well. Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois. The creative company that is building this new coaster has an impressive track record of delivering incredibly smooth and satisfying thrill machines. So the expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree drop and a top speed of 72mph, which will make it the world's tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It’s both a mildly thrilling coaster with a unique cradle (摇篮) design that allows the cars to swing back and forth and a forcing “dark ride” that takes guests into the colourful mine to see the Seven Dwarfs at work. The animated characters are particularly striking in the attraction, which is the capstone of the park’s New Fantasyland expansion. 21. How does ride fans feel after riding Banshee? A. Wonderful and excited. B. Surprised and angry. C Disappointed. D. Hopeless and happy. 22. What is Goliath made of? A. Steel. B. Wood. C. Bamboo. D. Iron. 23.

B Katherine Johnson, a hero to American space travel and exploration, was born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority. Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college. When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939, West Virginia State’s president, Dr. John W. Davis, selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state’s flagship school, West Virginia University. In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA. She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a permanent position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration. In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations (方程式) describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified. It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report. Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl”— Johnson—to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,” Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” 24. What can we learn about Katherine Johnson’s life experience? A. Her parents attached great importance to her education. B. She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939. C. She took the lead of the West Area Computing section. D. She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been founded. 25. Why does the writer quote John Glenn’s words in the last paragraph? A. To explain Johnson’s hand calculation was tough. B. To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader. C. To prove Johnson’s hand calculations were reliable. D. To illustrate the computer’s data was not trustworthy. 26. Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson? A. Modest and sociable. B. Talented and diligent. C. Stubborn and hardworking. D. Considerate and cooperative. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Katherine Johnson: A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits B. The Story of a “Computer”: Katherine Johnson’s Early Life at NASA C. Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration D. Mathematics: The Key to John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight C For coffee lovers, the future is shaping up to be bitter and expensive, as climate change roasts the world’s key growing regions. Farmers have to dig deeper to get water. Tougher growing conditions have led Vietnamese farmers to question the value of coffee as a cash crop, with some pulling out their trees to plant black pepper and other tropical fruits. Reduced supply has already pushed the Robusta (coffee) price in 2024 to the highest level since at least 2008 — and still, rising temperatures mean future production will fall short. Regions suitable for crop production reduce globally primarily due to increased heat.Hardier varieties are expected to fare better, and for coffee that means strong, earthy Robusta. Researchers found that it would be necessary to adapt, including by replacing Arabica (coffee) with harder Robusta. However, Robusta is not a silver bullet for climate change. Researchers are still learning Robusta’s limits though it’s more tolerant to heat and to some diseases and pests. Prolonged dry periods in Vietnam and lack of irrigation water in recent years have already severely affected the productivity of Robusta coffee farms in the Central Highlands, according to a study published in 2021. In an October report, World Coffee Research (WCR) said the world may face Robusta shortages in 2040 of as much as 35 million bags when taking into account rising consumption trends and the impact of climate change on production. The world currently produces close to 80 million bags of Robusta a year. Farmers are seeing the benefit of more sustainable farming practices. Farmers have cut back on chemical fertilisers and provided shade for coffee shrubs (灌木) so they’re less exposed to the burning sun. They have also planted black pepper to diversify. When applying this, they have more income, and they can save a lot of labour. Lien, who began planting coffee nearly thirty years ago, said, “Now I see my coffee better developed, with better yields.” 28. What troubles farmers most when planting coffee? A. Lower price and less labour. B. Poor quality with bitter flavor. C. Heat pressure and water shortages D. Reduced productivity of coffee. 29. What does the phrase “silver bullet” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Essential alternative. B. Effective solution. C. Secure mode. D. Scientific conclusion. 30. What’s the author’s attitude towards the farming practices? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Opposed. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Dry periods affect the productivity of Robusta coffee farms. B. Robusta coffee price will stabilize soon. C. Vietnamse farmers are abandoning coffee farming. D. Sustainable farming is becoming popular. D Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones (无人机) like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling. Together, these advancements promise to make fruit production more efficient and precise, though one is a proven solution and the other is a glimpse into farming’s future. Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards (果园), identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to weave carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees. Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently. Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently. Beyond picking, these robots also detect diseases and track the location of each fruit bin, providing farmers with valuable insights to manage their crops better. While Tevel’s drones tackle harvesting, UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype (原型) uses layered “fingers” to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming. The gripper’s motorized reels (卷轴) allow its tape-based fingers to extend and convey items like a conveyor belt. Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters. Tevel’s drones are already transforming orchards, while the GRIP-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve. The combination of real-world automation and experimental robotics highlights both the immediate benefits and long-term potential of agritech innovation. 32. What do we know about FARs? A. They can work around the clock. B. They can identify different fruits. C. They redefine the artificial intelligence. D. They perform as efficiently as human workers. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A The real-time data collected by mobile apps. B. The advantages of Tevel’s drones for farmers. C. The working process of multiple drones in orchards. D. The various attitudes of the farmers to Tevel’s drones. 34. What can be inferred about UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper? A. It is inspired by human fingers. B. It is widely adopted in farming. C. It tackles the harvesting process. D. It is cost-effective but still in progress. 35. What’s the writing purpose of this text? A. To promote the use of robotics in farming. B. To compare two cutting-edge farming tools. C. To introduce two innovative agricultural technologies. D. To emphasize the long-term potential of autonomous drones. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Body language refers to the nonverbal signals that people use to communicate. ____36____ They can impact how people judge you in the workplace.

His favorite scientific tool had broken, and replacing it required a large amount of money. His mother politely said, “If you want it, you will have to earn it yourself.” So, Sheldon started what he called “The Money Project” — using science to do the everyday job of delivering newspapers. As he had planned, Sheldon’s method was special. He spent days doing research. He studied the weight of the newspaper, planned the best delivery route using maps, and even found the best throwing angle for each house. His planning board was covered in notes and drawings, looking more like a complex puzzle than a simple job plan. On his first Monday, he left home with his prepared basket. The first challenge appeared immediately: the family bicycle was too large for him. After three failed attempts to ride it, he decided to walk, pulling the basket of newspapers behind him. But the basket was so heavy that he soon felt too tired to continue. He quickly thought of a solution. Using an old board, four wheels from broken toys, and some rope, he built a simple homemade cart. Now he could pull the papers easily. Then, the weather, Sheldon had assumed clear weather, turned out different from his forecasts. A light rain began to fall. Sheldon immediately covered the newspaper basket with the plastic he had prepared. This simple action prevented what could have been a real problem. Despite these little episodes (小插曲), his first deliveries were perfect, and he felt pleased. The final challenge came at 17th Elm Street. His goal was the welcome mat, but a large, sleeping dog was lying right on top of it. Sheldon knew getting closer was too dangerous. From where he stood, he could not throw the paper properly. He stood still, his carefully made plan falling apart before this unexpected problem. 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。 After a moment of panic, Sheldon’s scientific mind took over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, “The Money Project” finally paid off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Television is really a great invention.
