I sat on the doctor's exam table one week before school was to start. I feared the moment to get updated vaccinations (接种疫苗) so much that my mind went blank. The only thing I knew that would make the pain of a shot worthwhile was the balloon I had been promised. I took that shot like a champion, without so much as a quiet "Ouch". While I waited for the doctor to come back with my balloon, I thought about all the cool things I was going to do with that balloon. The doctor returned with a concerned look on his face and delivered the unfortunate news. "I'm sorry, Andrew, but we're out of balloons." All my big plans for that balloon popped faster than that balloon ever would have. I was devastated. The entire way home, my grandma kept telling me that I should think positively, and everything would be okay. Arriving at home, I was straight going through the house to the backyard door, ready to go outside and tell my dog all my troubles, when I looked out and saw the most amazing thing my seven - year - old eyes had ever seen. Our entire backyard was filled with floaty balloons! We lived less than a mile from an amusement park. As it turned out, when the wind was just right, the balloons released from the daily parades would land neatly in our backyard. I will never forget that day of whirling through those balloons and thinking they were all for me because I had to get my shots. And I will never forget my grandmother telling me throughout my life that if you just think positive thoughts, everything has a way of working out in the end. 24. How did Andrew feel after vaccination? A. Surprised. B. Fearful. C. Proud. D. Curious. 25. What does the underlined word "devastated" in paragraph 3 mean? A. Shocked and upset. B. Forgiven and relieved. C. Cheated and angry. D. Satisfied and joyful. 26. What can be inferred about Andrew's grandmother from the text? A. She was strict and demanding. B. She was optimistic and supportive. C. She was disappointed with the doctor. D. She was indifferent to Andrew's feelings. 27. What does Andrew learn from the whole experience? A. Grandmothers always know best. B. Vaccinations are necessary but painful. C. Parades of amusement parks are magical. D. Positive thinking can lead to unexpected joys. C Scientists are worried that the largest iceberg in the world is moving through the South Atlantic toward the island of South Georgia, which is a main breeding(繁殖)place for wildlife, especially penguins and seals. The iceberg is officially known as A23a and it measures over 3,500 square kilometers. It has existed since 1986, when it broke off from the Antarctic shelf. But it didn't leave Antarctica until 2020. Scientists have been using satellite imagery to follow the iceberg's movements and their observations had shown the iceberg had not broken into smaller pieces like some other so - called "megabergs" that passed through the Southern Ocean. Predicting the iceberg's exact path is difficult, but ocean conditions suggest it should reach South Georgia in two to four weeks. Scientists are worried the iceberg will get caught on the underground continental shelf around South Georgia. If so, it could remain there for months or it could break into pieces, which could harm efforts by penguins and seals on the island to feed and raise their young. Icebergs that have grounded there in the past led to the deaths of young penguins and seals. But Raul Cordero, a member of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, believes it is possible that the iceberg could miss the shelf and continue moving into open waters beyond South Georgia. The island acts as an obstacle to ocean currents and therefore usually makes the water change direction long before it reaches the island. The iceberg is moved by that water flow, so the chances of it hitting are not that high. However, some iceberg pieces could affect the island. It is summer in South Georgia and penguins and seals from the area have been looking for food in the cold Antarctic waters to bring back to their young. They might have to go around the iceberg if it gets stuck, which would take a lot of their energy, possibly leading to animal deaths. The seal and penguin populations on South Georgia have already been having a "bad season" with cases of bird flu. 28. What can we learn about iceberg A23a from the text? A. It has been moving since 2020. B. It is a large iceberg for breeding. C. It broke off from the Antarctic shelf in 2020. D. Its path is more predictable than other icebergs. 29. What is Raul Cordero's opinion about the iceberg's path? A. It will definitely hit the South Georgia Island. B. It will probably miss out the South Georgia Island. C. It will break into pieces on the South Georgia Island. D. It will block ocean currents to the South Georgia Island. 30. What could happen if the iceberg gets stuck near South Georgia Island? A. The iceberg will disappear more quickly. B. It will bring bird flu virus to the island. C. The weather there will become warmer. D. Animals there will have trouble getting food. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The History of Iceberg A23a B. How Icebergs Affect Global Sea Levels C. Scientists Monitor Iceberg A23a's Threat D. The Role of Satellite Imagery in Tracking Icebergs D In households, restaurants and kitchens, you'll occasionally hear someone call out the five - second rule—if food hits the floor and you pick it up in less than five seconds, it's safe to eat because bacteria on the floor don't have enough time to take a ride on the food. But is it true? In 2003, Jillian Clarke, a senior high school student, put the five - second rule to the test. She dropped cookies on the floor for five seconds and found that bacteria transmitted to food very quickly, even in just five seconds, thus challenging the popular belief. A few years later, food scientist Paul Dawson and his students also tested the five - second rule and found over 99% of the bacteria transmitted from the floor to food in just five seconds. “The five - second rule was just ridiculous,” Dawson concluded. But in 2014, microbiology professor Anthony Hilton and his students restarted the debate. They studied the transmission of bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types to different food, with contact time ranging from three to 30 seconds. According to their results, the longer a piece of food was in contact with the floor, the more likely it was to contain bacteria. This could be seen as evidence in favor of the five - second rule, Hilton noted, but was not conclusive. This motivated food science professor Donald Schaffner and his students to conduct a strict study on the accuracy of the five - second rule recently. They found that longer contact time resulted in more transmission but some transmission took place “instantaneously”, after less than 1 second, thus debunking (驳斥) the five - second rule once and for all. Your chance of falling ill after eating food that has touched the floor depends on factors like how dirty the floor is and the type of bacteria present. Based on studies, the kitchen floor is one of the dirtiest spots in the house because the kitchen gets a lot of foot traffic and kitchen waste often falls on the floor, creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. While most of the bacteria existing on kitchen floors are harmless, some can cause food poisoning. 32. What can we learn about the five - second rule from the text? A. It is a popular belief that has only spread in recent years. B. It has never been questioned or challenged since its birth. C. It has been proved to be a scientific law by many scientists. D. It is applied to occasions where people prepare or consume food. 33. What does Anthony Hilton's research result mean? A. Food on the floor for longer gets less bacteria. B. It partially proves that the five - second rule is true. C. Decisive favorable evidence for the five - second rule. D. It is wrong to restart the debate on the five - second rule. 34. What finding of Donald Schaffner completely disproves the five - second rule? A. The precision of his research. B. The dirty degree of the floor. C. The transfer rate of bacteria. D. The harm of different bacteria. 35. What is the author's purpose in presenting the studies in order of time? A. To prove that all scientific beliefs are wrong. B. To blame people who follow popular beliefs blindly. C. To show how scientific understanding develops through research. D. To demonstrate that high school students can conduct effective experiments. 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。 Staying positive and uplifted in today's fast - paced world can feel challenging, but it's not only achievable—it's transformative.

Being unable to afford to live in his own place, he relies on the streets and undeveloped beaches of Honolulu to rest his head. He also takes advantage of the beautiful weather by playing baseball outside, in hopes of one day making it big. One Friday, Mike was hitting some baseballs when he lost one in a narrow gap between the parking garage and a drugstore next door. After losing a total of six balls, he decided to go down after it. The walls of the space were so narrow, around 9 inches that Mike wasn't sure how he could fit. But being that those baseballs were some of his only possessions, Mike couldn't afford to lose them. He decided to go down after them. As he went down a little lower and a little lower, he realized there may be no coming back. That was the moment Mike realized he had actually got himself stuck between two walls. Being homeless meant he didn't have a cell phone, so he did the only thing he could think of, he yelled (叫喊) very loudly. Passersby heard him yell for help and they called 911 at 2:06 pm. The Honolulu Fire Department immediately sent five units staffed with 20 personnel to the site. Rescuers, who communicated with Mike the entire time, initially tried lowering a rope to him from above but he was unable to grab it. The large team of firefighters spent three hours working with all kinds of tools like saws, drills, and jackhammers trying to free Mike. It took a lot of manpower and the rescue attracted a large crowd of onlookers, who, filled with curiosity, fetched their phones to document the rescue scene. In a last - ditch effort, firefighters broke through one of the walls to create an opening that was approximately 3 feet high and 4 feet wide. Finally, the firefighters were able to successfully free Mike through the opening at 5:23 pm. 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。 Mike was taken to the hospital following the rescue. After seeing the video about Mike online, people came forward to help him realize his dream. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
