Philo Farnsworth was born in Utah in 1906. The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it.
One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work.
Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”.
Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science.
In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked.
In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life.
He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century.
4. Which can best describe 14-year-old Philo?
A. Questionable and creative. B. Generous and experienced.
C. Selfless and hard-working. D. Peace-loving and determined.
5. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Share your kindness to others.
B. Two heads are better than one.
C. Teachers are key to shaping young minds.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
6. Which contribution does NOT belong to Philo Farnsworth?
A. The development of early radar.
B. First discovery of atomic energy.
C. The invention of electronic microscope.
D. Various components of modern television.
7. How does the author develop the text?
A. By analyzing causes. B. By making comparisons.
C. By following time order. D. By questioning the points.

A large and unusual tropical fruit is becoming more popular in the US. The jackfruit (菠萝蜜) is native to India. The big, spiky fruit grows in parts of Asia, South America and the Caribbean. It can weigh from 6 to around 30 kilogrammes.
Often used as a meat substitute (替代品), jackfruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals. Its neutral (中性的) flavour works with all kinds of seasonings. Now, with many Americans looking for plant-based alternatives to meat, jackfruit is becoming more popular.
This popularity has been growing for several years, noted Robert Schueller, head of marketing at Melissa’s Produce, a specialty produce company based in Los Angeles, California. “It was about five years ago that the fruit started to really take off,” he said. “Vegetarians and vegans found out how this fruit could be used as a meat substitute for pulled pork sandwiches and as a taco meat.”
Schueller said Melissa’s sales have increased sharply. The company went from selling a few containers of jackfruit each week to thousands of cases weekly.
In many places around the country, jackfruit is appearing not only at vegan and vegetarian restaurants, but also at other places. Tomatillo, for example, a Mexican restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, New York, has a quesadilla and a taco made with jackfruit. In Chicago, Alulu Brewpub serves Vegan Sicilian Jackfruit Flatbread on a menu that also has pork belly.
Angela Means, owner of the vegan Jackfruit Café in Los Angeles, California, says people are choosing a vegan diet for many reasons. These factors cover environmental protection, personal health and moral considerations.
“We eat meat because of the texture and the spices. Jackfruit is a great substitute,” Means said.
“We put it in tacos, and we make sandwiches, like a barbecue pulled ‘pork’.” Jackfruit Café also serves a “fish patty” made of jackfruit and seaweed.
Means said her restaurant tries to educate people in the community about jackfruit and meat substitutes. She predicted, “In seven to 10 years, jackfruit will be as popular as beef.”
8. What is known about the jackfruit?
A. It grows all over the world. B. It is a small tropical fruit.
C. It has a bitter taste. D. It can replace meat in some dishes.
9. How does the author show the increasing popularity of jackfruit?
A. By giving examples. B. By listing its health benefits.
C. By analyzing people’s eating habits. D. By comparing it with other fruits.
10. What makes people choose a vegan diet according to Angela Means?
A. Environmental, health and moral concerns.
B. Desire to try new tastes.
C. The low prices of vegan food.
D. The ease of cooking vegan food.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Jackfruit: The History in the US B. Is Jackfruit Next Meat Substitute?
C. Jackfruit vs. Traditional Meat D. How to Cook with Jackfruit?
D
A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found.
Several studies in recent years have suggested ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities, which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership. The new research, conducted by a non-profit group, focuses on how ride-sharing impacts pollution in seven major US cities.
Overall, the researchers reported ride-sharing trips now “result in an estimated 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they displace”. The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike or on foot.
One big reason for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving in between pickups.
This situation, known as “deadheading”, takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity, the study found. The researchers said deadheading results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle.
Both Uber and Lyft do offer a choice of a “pooled” ride, which involves drivers picking up additional riders during the same trip.
The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to work to increase the amount of pooled rides. It also urges the two companies to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to improve connections to public transportation centres. However, both companies have previously argued that most studies overstate the pollution effects of their services, pointing out that most vehicles on the road are privately owned. Still, both firms share the goals of increasing pooled rides and using more electric vehicles, and have already introduced electric bike services and integrated public transit (运输) information into their systems.
12. What did the new study find?
A. Public transportation is unpopular.
B. Private vehicle ownership is decreasing.
C. People favour ride-sharing over all others.
D. Ride-sharing harms urban environment.
13. What does the underlined word “deadheading” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Long-distance pickups. B. Driving without passengers.
C. Extra fees for empty driving. D. Long waiting times for passengers.
14. What can we infer about Uber and Lyft’s attitude towards the new study?
A. They accept its conclusions without reservation.
B. They show little interest in its research methods.
C. They challenge the correctness of its findings.
D. They intend to cooperate with the researchers.
15. What will the text most probably talk about next?
A. The government’s measures to limit ride-sharing services.
B. The reasons why private vehicles cause more pollution.
C. The study’s further research on public transportation.
D. The specific electric bike services Uber and Lyft introduced.

Final exams were approaching, and everyone in school was excited about vacations. We were dreaming of far-off destinations, our minds filled with images of thrilling adventures.
After school on Friday, on my way home, I ran into my best friend. Enthusiastic about the vacations, I asked him about his plans. His eyes twinkled brightly as he replied, “I’m going to visit my grandparents with my parents for a week.”
“Don’t you ever get tired of going to the same place year after year? I remember, every year, your family takes 7 to 10 days off to head back to your native village,” I asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
“Oh, not at all! That’s the absolute best time of the year for me! Being with my folks in the village is just amazing.” His face beamed with joy as he continued, "In the village, I get to meet so many wonderful people, and everyone there is so kind and welcoming. Our neighborhood crew is tight! We’re always hanging out together, you know? Just running wild, chilling by the lake, or bouncing between each other’s houses. Honestly, I know what really matters about these village trips. It’s not the cool places we see — it’s spending time with the people I love. That’s the real treasure of life.”
His words made me recall my own grandparents. I realized I hadn’t seen them for years. But still, it’s a pleasure to be there. … we had big long gardens and a big multi-story house.
The next day, over breakfast, I mustered up the courage and asked my parents, “Can we visit grandparents this summer after exams?” Dad replied hesitantly, “Oh, that’s unexpected.” Mom was surprised. “Well, you know it gets really hot there this time of year.” After a short pause, Dad gave a small sigh and met my hopeful gaze. “However,” he said, “if you perform well in exams, we’ll make the trip.”
For the next six weeks, I threw myself completely into my studies. My mom was amazed by this sudden transformation in me. Soon came the long-awaited exam results.

Philo Farnsworth was born in Utah in 1906. The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it.
One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air. It said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work.
Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called it “light in a bottle”.
Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo’s drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo’s teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science.
In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear, the device worked.
In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes (纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life.
He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy (原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century.

A large and unusual tropical fruit is becoming more popular in the US. The jackfruit (菠萝蜜) is native to India. The big, spiky fruit grows in parts of Asia, South America and the Caribbean. It can weigh from 6 to around 30 kilogrammes.
Often used as a meat substitute (替代品), jackfruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals. Its neutral (中性的) flavour works with all kinds of seasonings. Now, with many Americans looking for plant-based alternatives to meat, jackfruit is becoming more popular.
This popularity has been growing for several years, noted Robert Schueller, head of marketing at Melissa’s Produce, a specialty produce company based in Los Angeles, California. “It was about five years ago that the fruit started to really take off,” he said. “Vegetarians and vegans found out how this fruit could be used as a meat substitute for pulled pork sandwiches and as a taco meat.”
Schueller said Melissa’s sales have increased sharply. The company went from selling a few containers of jackfruit each week to thousands of cases weekly.
In many places around the country, jackfruit is appearing not only at vegan and vegetarian restaurants, but also at other places. Tomatillo, for example, a Mexican restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, New York, has a quesadilla and a taco made with jackfruit. In Chicago, Alulu Brewpub serves Vegan Sicilian Jackfruit Flatbread on a menu that also has pork belly.
Angela Means, owner of the vegan Jackfruit Café in Los Angeles, California, says people are choosing a vegan diet for many reasons. These factors cover environmental protection, personal health and moral considerations.
“We eat meat because of the texture and the spices. Jackfruit is a great substitute,” Means said.
“We put it in tacos, and we make sandwiches, like a barbecue pulled ‘pork’.” Jackfruit Café also serves a “fish patty” made of jackfruit and seaweed.
Means said her restaurant tries to educate people in the community about jackfruit and meat substitutes. She predicted, “In seven to 10 years, jackfruit will be as popular as beef.”
8. What is known about the jackfruit?
A. It grows all over the world. B. It is a small tropical fruit.
C. It has a bitter taste. D. It can replace meat in some dishes.
9. How does the author show the increasing popularity of jackfruit?
A. By giving examples. B. By listing its health benefits.
C. By analyzing people’s eating habits. D. By comparing it with other fruits.

A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found.
Several studies in recent years have suggested ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities, which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership. The new research, conducted by a non-profit group, focuses on how ride-sharing impacts pollution in seven major US cities.
Overall, the researchers reported ride-sharing trips now “result in an estimated 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they displace”. The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike or on foot.
One big reason for this result is that ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving in between pickups.
This situation, known as “deadheading”, takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity, the study found. The researchers said deadheading results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private vehicle.
Both Uber and Lyft do offer a choice of a “pooled” ride, which involves drivers picking up additional riders during the same trip.
The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to work to increase the amount of pooled rides. It also urges the two companies to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to improve connections to public transportation centres. However, both companies have previously argued that most studies overstate the pollution effects of their services, pointing out that most vehicles on the road are privately owned. Still, both firms share the goals of increasing pooled rides and using more electric vehicles, and have already introduced electric bike services and integrated public transit (运输) information into their systems.
12. What did the new study find?
A. Public transportation is unpopular.
B. Private vehicle ownership is decreasing.
C. People favour ride-sharing over all others.
D. Ride-sharing harms urban environment.
13. What does the underlined word “deadheading” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Long-distance pickups. B. Driving without passengers.
C. Extra fees for empty driving. D. Long waiting times for passengers.
14. What can we infer about Uber and Lyft’s attitude towards the new study?
A. They accept its conclusions without reservation.
B. They show little interest in its research methods.
C. They challenge the correctness of its findings.
D. They intend to cooperate with the researchers.
15. What will the text most probably talk about next?
A. The government’s measures to limit ride-sharing services.
B. The reasons why private vehicles cause more pollution.
C. The study’s further research on public transportation.
D. The specific electric bike services Uber and Lyft introduced.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己和同学在高速公路旁清理垃圾的经历,呼吁大家从小事做起爱护环境,共同守护地球家园。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:无论我住在哪条高速公路旁,都有一个共同的因素保持不变:垃圾太多,尤其是司机经过时从车窗扔出的垃圾。此处用副词especially作状语,用来强调,修饰that指代的rubbish(从车窗扔出的垃圾),表示“尤其是……”。故填especially。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:五名学生出来帮忙捡垃圾,最后装了两大袋。此处end在句中作结果状语,与逻辑主语Five students为主动关系,表示顺其自然的结果,应用现在分词形式ending。故填ending。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:这不是一场大型活动,也不是登上头条的引人注目的气候行动。前半句是否定,后半句表示“也不”,用nor构成倒装结构。故填nor。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:要让一个小区域有所改变需要很多人的努力,现在这个小区域因为一些垃圾被清理掉了,所以它为更清洁、更赏心悦目的环境做出了贡献。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词a small area,指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,用which引导。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:要让一个小区域有所改变需要很多人的努力,现在这个小区域因为一些垃圾被清理掉了,所以它为更清洁、更赏心悦目的环境做出了贡献。此处为谓语动词,根据上文的now以及句意可知,强调对现在的影响,用现在完成时,且主语rubbish和remove为被动关系,所以为现在完成时的被动语态结构。故填has been removed。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:如果你对环境充满热情,希望我们的周围环境没有垃圾,我鼓励你举办自己的清理活动!根据空前our可知,此处为名词形式surroundings,表示“周围环境”,作keeping的宾语。故填surroundings。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:你只需要确定在哪个区域举办活动。表示“在某个区域举办它”,应用介词in,本句可调整语序为hold it in which area。故填in。
【43题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:如果我们希望别人关心环境,我们首先要自己关心环境,这样才能理想地让地球更健康。此处为主语We的同位语,用反身代词,起强调作用。故填ourselves。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这个被赐予给我们的、拥有诸多馈赠的星球,几千年来一直照顾着我们。此处gift作定语,与逻辑主语This planet为被动关系,所以为过去分词形式作后置定语。故填gifted。
【45题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:我认为是时候了,我们作为一个集体,开始回报它了。固定句型It’s high time that...,表示“是时候做某事了”,that后接从句用虚拟语气,谓语动词用过去式或should+动词原形。故填that。

【答案】One possible version:
My View on Beauty
Nowadays, many people are doing plastic surgery or wearing excessive make-up to pursue outward beauty. Some attempt to boost their confidence by removing freckles, changing the jaw line or doubling eyelid. My roommates even acknowledge a stereotype that bizarre clothes from head to toe, skinny figure and exquisite lipstick are the real beauty.
I think they misjudge the beauty. As for beauty, I hold the opinion that an ordinary girl with righteous personality is more graceful than a beautiful girl with monstrous manner.
All in all, we should make an effort for true beauty by improving our inner qualities.

47. 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。
Final exams were approaching, and everyone in school was excited about vacations. We were dreaming of far-off destinations, our minds filled with images of thrilling adventures.
After school on Friday, on my way home, I ran into my best friend. Enthusiastic about the vacations, I asked him about his plans. His eyes twinkled brightly as he replied, “I’m going to visit my grandparents with my parents for a week.”
“Don’t you ever get tired of going to the same place year after year? I remember, every year, your family takes 7 to 10 days off to head back to your native village,” I asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
“Oh, not at all! That’s the absolute best time of the year for me! Being with my folks in the village is just amazing.” His face beamed with joy as he continued, "In the village, I get to meet so many wonderful people, and everyone there is so kind and welcoming. Our neighborhood crew is tight! We’re always hanging out together, you know? Just running wild, chilling by the lake, or bouncing between each other’s houses. Honestly, I know what really matters about these village trips. It’s not the cool places we see — it’s spending time with the people I love. That’s the real treasure of life.”
His words made me recall my own grandparents. I realized I hadn’t seen them for years. But still, it’s a pleasure to be there. … we had big long gardens and a big multi-story house.
The next day, over breakfast, I mustered up the courage and asked my parents, “Can we visit grandparents this summer after exams?” Dad replied hesitantly, “Oh, that’s unexpected.” Mom was surprised. “Well, you know it gets really hot there this time of year.” After a short pause, Dad gave a small sigh and met my hopeful gaze. “However,” he said, “if you perform well in exams, we’ll make the trip.”
For the next six weeks, I threw myself completely into my studies. My mom was amazed by this sudden transformation in me. Soon came the long-awaited exam results.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I rushed home and immediately handed my parents my score card and a note with “PLEASE.” This time, they instantly agreed. The next day, we set out for our hometown. Every one, be it relatives or neighbors, greeted us with smiles, treating me like their own son. Every day brought new happiness –- digging with Grandpa in the garden, playing games with cousins until sunset, roaming around familiar streets with loved ones and even joining the local kids in their football matches. The days passed as we had a wonderful time together. Truth be told, everything was more fun in a big family. When departure day came, my heart ached.
I saw my mom had tears in her eyes when leaving them. She wiped them away and smiled, saying, “I didn’t realize how much I missed the village until now. It’s not just a place; it’s where our roots are.” As we drove away, I felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia. I realized that the real adventure wasn’t about exploring far-off places but about reconnecting with family and our heritage. This trip wasn’t just for me; it was a reminder for all of us that family is the true treasure of life. From then on, visiting Grandma and Grandpa became our annual tradition, a time to cherish love, laughter, and the simple joys of being together.
