【原文】 Heavy snow and freezing rain have brought lots of trouble across the UK. Several major airports were forced to cancel flights, and many key roads in the north of England couldn’t be used. With the weather set to stay stormy on Sunday, there is concern that many country communities could be cut off, with up to forty centimeters of snow on the ground. The National Grid, which manages the country’s electricity network, said it had been working to get power back across the country. The company’s live map shows power cuts in Birmingham in central England, Bristol in the west, and Cardiff in Wales. The road network was also heavily affected on what would have been a very busy day, as many families were returning home from the Christmas and New Year break, and students were heading back to universities. On the railways, many services were cancelled, with National Rail warning of trouble continuing into the working week. Many sporting events have already been put off, but the football match between Liverpool and Manchester United is still on, though there will be another inspection later.

Chen-Ning Yang, born in 1922 in Hefei, China, is a towering figure in the world of theoretical physics. His journey began in China, where he completed his undergraduate education at the National Southwestern Associated University, a unique institution formed during the Sino-Japanese War. In 1945, he moved to the United States on a scholarship and earned his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago.
Yang’s most celebrated achievement came in 1956 when he and his colleague Tsung-Dao Lee proposed that in weak nuclear interactions, parity might not be conserved. This idea challenged a fundamental law of physics that was previously thought to be unbreakable. Their theoretical work was confirmed experimentally within a year, and in 1957, Yang and Lee were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, becoming the first Chinese laureates. This rapid recognition is rare in the history of science.
Beyond the Nobel Prize, Yang’s contribution to physics is profound and lasting. Together with Robert Mills, he developed the Yang-Mills gauge theory, which became a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics. This framework is essential for understanding the fundamental forces of the universe.
Yang’s life is also a story of cultural bridge-building. After retiring from Stony Brook University in the U.S., he made a significant decision to return to China in 2003, resuming his Chinese citizenship later. He settled at Tsinghua University in Beijing, dedicating his efforts to advancing scientific research and education in his homeland. He played a crucial role in establishing the Center for Advanced Study at Tsinghua, guiding a new generation of Chinese physicists.
Professor Yang is not only respected for his scientific brilliance but also for his deep cultural insight. He often emphasizes the importance of basic science and the harmonious integration of Eastern and Western scientific traditions. His life and work truly serve as a bridge connecting different cultures and eras.
24. What was the significance of the theory proposed by Yang and Lee?
A. It explained the structure of the atom.
B. It was confirmed after many decades of experimentation.
C. It challenged a previously accepted law of physics.
D. It was the foundation for the Yang-Mills theory.
25. Which of the following best describes Chen-Ning Yang’s character as portrayed in the passage?
A. A solitary genius who preferred to work alone.
B. A politician who used his fame for diplomatic purposes.
C. A businessman who applied science to practical applications.
D. A figure with global vision and a sense of responsibility to his homeland.
26. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The life and multifaceted contributions of Chen-Ning Yang.
B. The long and successful career of Yang in the United States.
C. The fierce competition between Yang and Lee for the Nobel Prize.
D. The technical details of the parity non-conservation theory.
27. What can we infer about Yang from his decision to return to China?
A. He wanted to enjoy a more relaxed retirement life.
B. He felt a strong commitment to contributing to China’s scientific development.
C. He lost his interest in theoretical physics.
D. He planned to start a new business in his home country.

Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits.
Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.
Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment.
No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.
28. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A. People benefit from sticking with a plan.
B. People’s consumption view has changed.
C. People refuse to give up the past commitment.
D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive.
29. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip?
A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss.
C To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves.
30. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur?
A. When we don’t follow through our choices.
B. When we attach more importance to potential gains.
C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions.
D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“沉没成本谬误”这一心理现象,通过调查实验分析其成因,解释了人们为何会因过去的投入而难以放弃某个计划或选择,即使该计划或选择已不再合理,并探讨坚持的利弊,指出有时放弃是更明智的选择。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论).(你的衣柜里有没有一套多年没穿过但又不愿意扔掉的西装或连衣裙?也许你会说:“我不能把它扔掉,因为我花了很多钱买的。”如果你在自己身上发现了这种情况,那你就陷入了‘沉没成本谬误’的执念中。)”可知,作者在文章开头描述了人们拒绝放弃过去的投入这一现象。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.(结果显示,尽管合理的选择是威斯康星州,但仍有54%的人选择了密歇根州,因为他们最初的投入更大)”可知,54%的参与者选择密歇根州滑雪之旅是因为他们最初的投入更大,他们想减少损失。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered.(当我们让情绪影响我们的决定时,就会产生沉没成本谬论。一旦我们对一个选择进行了投资,如果我们不坚持到底,我们就会感到内疚或后悔,却没有意识到过去的投资是无法收回的)”可知,当我们从情感上坚持已经做出的投资时,就会出现“沉没成本谬误”。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.(没有人能否认我们从坚持中获益匪浅。所以我们的社会喜欢强调坚持。永不放弃!不要浪费!但只有你知道什么是对的路。有时候,离开是最难的选择。你可能会意识到你所走的路不再是正确的,或者从来都不是正确的。这是一个痛苦的认识)”可知,作者认为虽然坚持有好处,但有时离开才是正确的选择,说明作者对“坚持”持谨慎态度。故选A项。
D
Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in research. So, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U. S. roads today?
“The answer is simple: economics,’ Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fueling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead.
A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’ s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U. S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range, fueling time or heavy loads.
The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U. S.is not a reason to“just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, noting that geopolitical issues could prevent access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.
32. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U. S. roads today?
A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel.
C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure.
33. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Confused.
34. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage?
A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles.
B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fueling time.
C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics.
D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation.
35. What would be the best title to this passage?
A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era
B. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising
C. Why Are We Not Driving Electric Powered Cars?
D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fueling Station?
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了氢燃料汽车没能普及的原因以及未来的前景。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fueling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead. (政界人士和汽车制造商一度主张燃料电池是乘用车的未来,但电池成本的下降和大量的电力燃料基础设施推动了电池电动汽车的领先地位。燃料电池将氢的化学能转化为电能,以驱动电动机。)”可知,氢燃料汽车在今天的美国道路上并不常见是因为其成本高,基础设施不足。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. 帕尔采夫说:“明年什么都不会改变,或者在未来五年内可能不会改变,但氢燃料汽车的发展前景更加光明。”)”可知,谢尔盖·帕尔采夫对未来氢燃料汽车充满希望。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U. S.is not a reason to“just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, noting that geopolitical issues could prevent access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable. (目前氢燃料乘用车在美国等地的不切实际应用并不是“放弃”氢燃料电池技术的理由。帕尔采夫警告说:“未来我们可能会因为许多其他原因需要它。”他指出,地缘政治问题可能会阻碍电池原材料的获取,从而使氢燃料汽车突然变得更加经济可行。)”可知,由于地缘政治的潜在问题,氢燃料电池技术是可行的。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in research. So, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U. S. roads today?

【36题详解】
根据上文“If there’s one thing that most teenagers don’t seem to have enough of, it is time.(如果说有一件事是大多数青少年似乎永远不够用的,那就是时间)”以及下文列出的六条时间管理建议可知,此处应衔接上文“青少年时间不足”的问题,引出下文的解决建议,G选项“Here are six time management tips for busy teenagers.(这里有六条适合忙碌青少年的时间管理建议)”既呼应了上文的teenagers和time,又自然引出下文的具体建议,符合语境。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Effective time management for teenagers begins and ends with good scheduling.(对青少年来说,有效的时间管理始于并终于良好的规划)”以及下文“Decide which projects are the most urgent, and plan to do these first.(确定哪些项目是最紧急的,并计划先做这些)”可知,此处应围绕“制定规划”展开,具体说明如何进行规划,F选项“Make a schedule that maps out all your major projects and the time available.(制定一个规划,列出你所有的主要项目和可用时间)”中的Make a schedule承接上文的good scheduling,maps out all your major projects又为下文“确定紧急项目”做铺垫,符合语境。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“When you have a large, time-consuming task to complete, you tend to put it off because you don’t really know where to start and feel overwhelmed. To get started easily, you’d better write the big task at the top of a list.(当你有一个庞大、耗时的任务要完成时,你往往会拖延,因为你不知道从哪里开始,感到不知所措。为了轻松开始,你最好把这个大任务写在清单的顶部)”以及下文“Turn these smaller tasks into a checklist that you can follow.(把这些小任务变成一个你可以遵循的清单)”可知,此处应体现“将大任务分解成小任务”,C选项“And then you can break it down into smaller tasks.(然后你可以把它分解成更小的任务)”中的it指代上文的the big task,符合语境。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“While you’re travelling to school or waiting for a friend to turn up, you probably find yourself checking or posting on social media. Instead use this time to do one or more of your small tasks. By getting some reading done during your unexpected free time, you’ll end up saving a lot of time.(当你去上学或等待朋友出现时,你可能会发现自己在刷社交媒体或发帖子。相反,利用这段时间做一个或多个你的小任务。通过在你意想不到的空闲时间完成一些阅读,你最终会节省很多时间)”可知,该段主要建议青少年利用好碎片时间、每一分每秒,B选项“Make the most of every second.(充分利用每一秒钟)”能够概括该段主旨,符合语境。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Remember it is said as a rule that 20% of your efforts can produce 80% of your results.(记住,有这样一条规则:20%的努力可以产生80%的结果)”以及下文“You are very likely to do the least amount of work in the most efficient way.(你很可能会以最高效的方式完成最少的工作)”可知,此处应强调专注于那20%的努力,D选项“So focus on that 20%.(所以专注于那20%的努力吧)”中的that 20%直接承接上文,又能引出下文“高效工作”的结果,符合语境。故选D项。

Mrs Henderson is an old lady in our neighborhood. She has lived alone since her son moved to another country for work five years ago. Her small white house with a red door was never quiet for long — my friends and I often visited her after school, and neighbors stopped by almost every day. We’d sit on her doorstep, listening to her talk about how she grew tomatoes, carrots and sunflowers in her garden when she was young, or how her son used to run after butterflies in the yard, laugh loudly and climb the old apple tree nearby.
She’d always share homemade candies from a glass jar with us, her hands a little shaky but her smile warm and bright. Sometimes we helped her carry heavy groceries home from the store, and on weekends, we’d water her potted flowers, sweep her doorstep, or clean her small living room together, chatting about our school life as we worked. Mrs Henderson loved chatting with us, and she’d often show us old photos of her family, pointing out her son when he was our age and telling us funny stories about his childhood.
Kind Mrs Lopez brought her fresh cookies every Friday afternoon, and Mr Thompson, who lives next door, helped cut her long grass every month. Even the little kids in the neighborhood would draw colorful pictures for her and run to her house to hand them over excitedly. But for the past three days, no one had seen her go out — her curtains stayed closed all day, her garden looked a little messy with weeds growing, and her usual spot on the doorstep was empty. We all felt worried, wondering if she was sick or had trouble doing things on her own.

One afternoon, I brought fresh apples to Mrs Henderson’s and knocked — no answer.

【答案】参考范文
One afternoon, I brought fresh apples to Mrs Henderson’s and knocked — no answer. I called her name softly, but still heard nothing. I felt worried and ran to ask Mr Thompson next door for help. He came quickly, knocked harder, and looked through the window — we saw Mrs Henderson lying weakly on the sofa. Mr Thompson called a doctor at once. The doctor said she had a bad cold and was too weak to move. Over the next few days, neighbors took turns looking after her, doing all kinds of things to help.
A week later, Mrs Henderson got well and invited all neighbors to her house to say thanks. She put fresh flowers in the living room, and the table had homemade cookies, fruit and hot tea. She held our hands one by one, her eyes a little wet. “Thank you so much,” she said. “When I was sick, you cared for me like family.” We talked and laughed and the sound of joy filled the small house again. From then on, we visited her more often, and her house was always warm and happy. Kind neighbors are like sunshine, which brings warmth to everyone around.

Chen-Ning Yang, born in 1922 in Hefei, China, is a towering figure in the world of theoretical physics. His journey began in China, where he completed his undergraduate education at the National Southwestern Associated University, a unique institution formed during the Sino-Japanese War. In 1945, he moved to the United States on a scholarship and earned his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago.
Yang’s most celebrated achievement came in 1956 when he and his colleague Tsung-Dao Lee proposed that in weak nuclear interactions, parity might not be conserved. This idea challenged a fundamental law of physics that was previously thought to be unbreakable. Their theoretical work was confirmed experimentally within a year, and in 1957, Yang and Lee were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, becoming the first Chinese laureates. This rapid recognition is rare in the history of science.
Beyond the Nobel Prize, Yang’s contribution to physics is profound and lasting. Together with Robert Mills, he developed the Yang-Mills gauge theory, which became a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics. This framework is essential for understanding the fundamental forces of the universe.
Yang’s life is also a story of cultural bridge-building. After retiring from Stony Brook University in the U.S., he made a significant decision to return to China in 2003, resuming his Chinese citizenship later. He settled at Tsinghua University in Beijing, dedicating his efforts to advancing scientific research and education in his homeland. He played a crucial role in establishing the Center for Advanced Study at Tsinghua, guiding a new generation of Chinese physicists.
Professor Yang is not only respected for his scientific brilliance but also for his deep cultural insight. He often emphasizes the importance of basic science and the harmonious integration of Eastern and Western scientific traditions. His life and work truly serve as a bridge connecting different cultures and eras.
24. What was the significance of the theory proposed by Yang and Lee?
A. It explained the structure of the atom.
B. It was confirmed after many decades of experimentation.
C. It challenged a previously accepted law of physics.
D. It was the foundation for the Yang-Mills theory.
25 Which of the following best describes Chen-Ning Yang’s character as portrayed in the passage?
A. A solitary genius who preferred to work alone.
B A politician who used his fame for diplomatic purposes.
C. A businessman who applied science to practical applications.
D. A figure with global vision and a sense of responsibility to his homeland.
26. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The life and multifaceted contributions of Chen-Ning Yang.
B. The long and successful career of Yang in the United States.
C. The fierce competition between Yang and Lee for the Nobel Prize.
D. The technical details of the parity non-conservation theory.
27. What can we infer about Yang from his decision to return to China?
A. He wanted to enjoy a more relaxed retirement life.
B. He felt a strong commitment to contributing to China’s scientific development.
C. He lost his interest in theoretical physics.
D. He planned to start a new business in his home country.
C
Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits.
Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.
Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment.
No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.
28. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A. People benefit from sticking with a plan.
B People’s consumption view has changed.
C. People refuse to give up the past commitment.
D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive.
29. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip?
A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss.
C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves.
30 When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur?
A. When we don’t follow through our choices.
B. When we attach more importance to potential gains.
C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions.
D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
D
Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in research. So, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U. S. roads today?
“The answer is simple: economics,’ Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fueling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead.
A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’ s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fueling station locations in the U. S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range, fueling time or heavy loads.
The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U. S.is not a reason to“just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, noting that geopolitical issues could prevent access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.
32. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U. S. roads today?
A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel.
C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure.
33. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Confused.
34. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage?
A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles.
B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fueling time.
C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics.
D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation.
35. What would be the best title to this passage?
A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era
B. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising
C. Why Are We Not Driving Electric Powered Cars?
D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fueling Station?

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mrs Henderson is an old lady in our neighborhood. She has lived alone since her son moved to another country for work five years ago. Her small white house with a red door was never quiet for long — my friends and I often visited her after school, and neighbors stopped by almost every day. We’d sit on her doorstep, listening to her talk about how she grew tomatoes, carrots and sunflowers in her garden when she was young, or how her son used to run after butterflies in the yard, laugh loudly and climb the old apple tree nearby.
She’d always share homemade candies from a glass jar with us, her hands a little shaky but her smile warm and bright. Sometimes we helped her carry heavy groceries home from the store, and on weekends, we’d water her potted flowers, sweep her doorstep, or clean her small living room together, chatting about our school life as we worked. Mrs Henderson loved chatting with us, and she’d often show us old photos of her family, pointing out her son when he was our age and telling us funny stories about his childhood.
Kind Mrs Lopez brought her fresh cookies every Friday afternoon, and Mr Thompson, who lives next door, helped cut her long grass every month. Even the little kids in the neighborhood would draw colorful pictures for her and run to her house to hand them over excitedly. But for the past three days, no one had seen her go out — her curtains stayed closed all day, her garden looked a little messy with weeds growing, and her usual spot on the doorstep was empty. We all felt worried, wondering if she was sick or had trouble doing things on her own.
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。
One afternoon, I brought fresh apples to Mrs Henderson’s and knocked — no answer.
