B As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy,Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn't get enough clean water.He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain.It was very close--only ten steps away.So,Ryan asked himself,"Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get water every day?And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?" Young Ryan thought,"Life iseasy for me;but hard for those people.Why don't I help? At first,his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa.He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours.He soon reached his first target of $70,but when he gave the money to a charity,he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well.Two thousand dollars was a lot of money,but Ryan didn't give up.He was determined to help other children have clean water.He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money.At the same time,a friend of Ryan's mother helped make his story go public.After-several months,Ryan had raised the $2,000,with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda.The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water.They were grateful to him and invited him to visit. In Uganda,Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes.But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him.They sang and danced happily.Some even offered him food and gifts.At first Ryan was nervous,but soon a great warmth filled him.He really had made a difference for these children.He broke into a joyful smile. Later,Ryan's experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help.Many inspired people gave him their support.Ryan's foundation continues to attract support from more and more people,so the work of building more wells can go on.Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean,safe water. Now,as an adult,Ryan says that the question to ask is not "Why don't I help?",but "How can I help today?".This msight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality. 24.As a six-year-old,what made Ryan surprised? A.The distance of the drinking fountain from him. B.What his teacher said about people in developing African countries. C.The steps to the drinking fountain. D.His easy life compared.with children in developing African countres.. 25.How did Ryan first plan to earn money for building a well? A By asking classmates and neighbours for help. B.By setting up a foundation to raise money. C By cleaning windows.and doing gardening for family and neighbours. D.By telling his story publicly. 26.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.Ryan's new plan in Canada. B.Ryan's experience of visiting Africa. C.How people in Africa use the wells. D.The development of Ryan's foundation and its influence. 27.Which of the following can best describe Ryan's personalities A.Kind and determined B.Brave and humorous C.Generous but shy D.Selfish but creative d 丹 C Like most other parrots,parakeets(长尾小鹦鹉)are known to have the ability to copy human speech.Now a new study has found that when parakeets make sounds,their brains work similarly to the way human brains function when we speak. The study was led by Michael Long,a professor at New York University.Long's team focused on common parakeets,also known as budgerigars or budgies.They placed tiny probes (into the brains of four birds to keep track of their brain activity as they made sounds,focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC),which is known to affect vocal muscles,which are muscles related to voice. They found that certain brain cells (became active when the birds made specific sounds.Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants,and others created vowels.Some showed activity when the birds made high sounds,while other cells lit up for low sounds.This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls.Long described it as a"beautiful solution"for sound production. In human brains,specific brain cell activity is connected with certain movements of the lips or tongue.This is the first time scientists have identified a similar language"map"in the brain of a nonhuman animal.The researchers think it's possible that other parrots also have a similar set up in their brains. Long's team also studied zebra finches.Compared to parakeets,the finches'brains have complex systems.But these can make only simple songs and cannot copy human speech. Researching how language works in bird brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain.This could lead to solutions for speech injuries in humans. Long said that discovering insights from animals is "an important way to develop new treatments for speech disorders." 28.What is the function of tiny probes? A.To record parakeets'brain response.B.To study the structure ofAAC. C.To help parakeets make sounds. D.To change parakeets'muscular system. 29.What can we know about parakeets'brain cells? A.They work in a puzzling way. B.They fail to mix different sounds. C.They only process high sounds.D.They react to sounds differently. 30.Which is the new finding about parakeets? A.Ability to sing beautiful songs.B.Talent for copying human speech. C.Speech-linked brain activity. D.Higher intelligence than zebra finches. 31.Which aspect of the study does the last paragraph mainly focus on? A.The method. B.The process. C.The significance.D.The future. D 2024 marks an exciting year for space exploration,with NASA's Europa Clipper mission leading the way.This spacecraft,launched in October 2024,is set to completely change our understanding of Jupiter's moon Europa-one of the most promising places to search for alien life in our solar system. Europa,covered in a thick layer of ice,is believed to hide a vast subsurface ocean(a liquid water layer beneath its icy surface)larger than Earth's oceans combined.Scientists think this ocean could have the right conditions for life:water,energy (from tidal forces), and maybe even organic molecules (the building blocks of life). The Europa Clipper carries advanced tools to study Europa's ice and ocean.One key instrument is a radar that can"see"through the ice,mapping the thickness of the frozen layer and detecting cracks where water might erupt onto the surface.Another tool will analyze gases and particles released during these"cryovolcanic"eruptions(eruptions of water,not lava)to check for organic compounds.Early data from the mission already suggests that Europa's ice may have"chaos regions"-areas where the ice is cracked and mixed with liquid water-making it easier for organic materials to rise to the surface. While no direct evidence of life has been found yet,the Europa Clipper is laying the groundwork for future missions.If organic molecules are confirmed,it could mean Europa's ocean is a habitable world-even if we don't find actual life there,it would be a major step toward answering the question:"Are we alone in the universe?" 3 32.What is the main goal of NASA's-Europa Clipper mission? A.To land humans on Jupiter. B.To collect samples of Jupiter's atmosphere. C.To study Europa's icy surface and search for signs of habitability. D To map the orbits of all Jupiter's moons. 33.What does the underlined word "subsurface"in para.2 probably mean? A.Above ground B.Under the ice C.In the atmosphere D.Between planets 34.What is the passage mainly about A.The history of Jupiter exploration. B New discoveries about Europa's surface from the Europa Clipper. C.How to build a spacecraft for deep space missions. D.Why Mars is no longer a focus of space research. 35.What's the author's attitude towards the Europa Clipper mission A.Positive B.Doubtful C.Negative D.Unclear 第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 The world is diverse,with a variety of languages,skin colors,and cultures coexisting. 36 A way to develop this appreciation is to try.to learn about other cultures around the world.
