M: I agree, and I found it less than easy to actually get hold of some of this stuff outside class times, like if you need to use the lab or borrow some reference materials. The process is quite complicated, but the tennis court is well looked after. W: I must say all our teachers are really approachable and have given us plenty of good advice and also the gyms are very well equipped so I’m not complaining. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

Soon, her parents gifted her illustrated fairy tales. Among them, The Hedgehog’s (刺猬的) Home — a simple story about a hedgehog defending its home — stood out, teaching her patriotism through the story. “Every book leaves a mark,” she says, quoting a sentence Serbian people often say, “even a bad one teaches you how to make a right judgment” This lesson accompanied her through her life. At university, Tatjana chose to study Chinese, drawn by Serbia’s unexpected cultural similarities with China. Without a Serbian-Chinese dictionary, she learned characters through a third language and was amazed at how words and texts help a society interpret and respond to the world. Books also supported her during struggles. Tatjana recalls Nikola Tesla, Serbia’s visionary inventor, whose childhood love for history and literature fueled his genius. Like him, she sees books as entry — to science, philosophy, and the quiet toughness of characters like the hedgehog. Now, despite the rise of the digital age, Tatjana champions paper’s lasting power. Turning paper pages and breathing in the smell of ink, she finds focus — an amazing reading experience she can never get from reading on a screen. Reading paper books is a mental training to enhance cognitive (认知的) functions and strengthen memory ability. “Its weight in your hands, its pleasant smell surrounding you — these are acts of mindfulness,” she says. While developing empathy, reading also serves as a shelter, relieving stress while caring for the soul. “Thus, no matter the circumstances, we must never forget the power of reading,” she says. 24. What initially inspired Tatjana’s passion for reading? A. Strong national pride. B. Artistic creative talent. C. Early parental influence. D. Strong wildlife fascination. 25. How did Tatjana tackle the obstacle in learning Chinese? A. By analyzing fictional characters. B. By attending after-school lessons. C. By consulting a Chinese dictionary. D. By relying on an additional language. 26. Why does Tatjana prioritize paper books over digital reading? A. They provide entertainment and simple relaxation. B. They emphasize traditional culture over technology. C. They avoid unpleasant smells while reading quietly. D. They promote sustained attention and mental growth. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Girl and Her Fairy Tales B. The Magic of Paper Pages C. The Inspiration for Literature D. The Challenge of the Digital Age 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了塞尔维亚人Tatjana受阅读影响的人生经历，以及她对纸质阅读的推崇与坚持。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As a child in Serbia, Soldat Tatjana, now director of the Serbian Cultural Center in Beijing, watched her father read each evening, his fingers following the lines of text in a respectful and concentrated manner.(作为一个在塞尔维亚长大的孩子，现在是北京塞尔维亚文化中心主任的索尔达特・塔佳娜，每天晚上都看着父亲读书，他的手指恭敬而专注地跟着文字一行一行移动)”和第二段中的 “Soon, her parents gifted her illustrated fairy tales.(很快，她的父母送给了她带插图的童话故事书)”可知，塔佳娜小时候看到父亲每晚专注读书，之后父母又送她童话书，正是父母早期的影响，最初激发了她对阅读的热情。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Without a Serbian-Chinese dictionary, she learned characters through a third language and was amazed at how words and texts help a society interpret and respond to the world.(没有塞汉词典，她通过第三语言学习汉字，并惊讶于文字和文本如何帮助一个社会解读和应对世界)”可知，塔佳娜在学习汉语时，由于没有塞汉词典，她依靠一门额外的语言（第三语言）来克服学习障碍、学习汉字。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Turning paper pages and breathing in the smell of ink, she finds focus — an amazing reading experience she can never get from reading on a screen. Reading paper books is a mental training to enhance cognitive (认知的) functions and strengthen memory ability.(翻动书页，呼吸着墨水的味道，她找到了专注力 —— 这是她在屏幕上阅读永远无法获得的奇妙阅读体验。阅读纸质书是一种脑力训练，可以增强认知功能和记忆力)”可知，塔佳娜优先选择纸质书而非数字阅读，是因为纸质书能让她保持专注，还能促进脑力发展。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕塔佳娜的阅读经历展开，从儿时受父母影响爱上阅读，到学习汉语时书籍的帮助，再到如今推崇纸质阅读、阐述纸质书的独特价值，核心是凸显纸质书的魅力与力量。B项“纸质书页的魔力”能够概括全文主旨，适合作为标题。故选B项。 C With gas and electricity bills rising faster, a house that produces more energy than it consumes might sound appealing. Robert Fortunato’s “Green Idea House” has achieved this for over a decade. He remodeled (改造) his family’s 1959 house into a 2150-square-foot environmentally friendly home at a cost lower than a traditional remodel. “It’s one of the first net-zero energy, zero carbon case study houses built cheaper than standard construction,” he says, using “standard materials and off-the-shelf (现成的) technologies anyone can use.” Though the project needed much time, research, and adaptability, his family now lives in a stylish four — bedroom home. Fortunato hopes others can learn from his experience. First, you need to get into the power business. Fortunato wanted to cut climate-warming fossil fuels and chose electric appliances. To supply electricity, he fixed 26 roof solar panels that power the house and two electric cars. Though the panels cost $18,000, his family saves $4,800 yearly. Second, thorough research and planning are key, His house’s flat roof extends five feet, hiding solar panels and saving 60％ of heating or cooling energy: it shades the house in summer and lets sunlight warm it in winter. This idea came from Native American house design. Third, stick to your plan firmly and update it when needed. Fortunato insisted on materials from a nearby factory to avoid long-distance delivery emissions (排放). When the supplier said his chosen brown color was only from Texas, he said, “Well, no, I only want the local materials,” with some exasperation. Finally, don’t expect everyone to follow. Fortunato made his house affordable and attractive, unlike some efficient homes that looked like spaceships, to encourage others. However, such energy-positive houses still make up less than 1％ of America’s 140 million housing units, which he finds is very disappointing. 28. What makes Robert Fortunato’s “Green Idea House” special at first? A. It has a long history. B. It is more energy-saving. C. It is a 2150-square-foot house. D. It uses new and expensive technologies. 29. How long did it take Fortunato to recover the cost of the solar panels? A. About four years. B. About three years. C. About fifteen years. D. About thirteen years. 30. What does the underlined word “exasperation” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Anger. B. Curiosity. C. Excitement. D. Embarrassment. 31. What is Fortunato’s attitude towards his project? A. He feels regretful about the time it took. B. He is so disappointed with few followers. C. He thinks it is too expensive for ordinary families. D. He worries that the technologies will soon be out of date. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Robert Fortunato将自家老房子改造成“绿色理念屋”，实现能源自给且成本低于传统改造，并分享了改造的关键经验。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s one of the first net-zero energy, zero carbon case study houses built cheaper than standard construction,(它是首批净零能耗、零碳的案例研究住宅之一，建造成本低于标准建筑)”以及第一段提到的“a house that produces more energy than it consumes might sound appealing. Robert Fortunato’s “Green Idea House” has achieved this for over a decade.(一座能源产出大于消耗的房子可能听起来很有吸引力。Robert Fortunato的“绿色理念屋”已经实现这一点十多年了)”可知，这座房子最初的特别之处在于它更节能，能实现能源自给。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Though the panels cost $18,000, his family saves $4,800 yearly.(虽然太阳能电池板花费了18000美元，但他的家人每年能节省4800美元)”可知，回收太阳能电池板成本所需时间=总花费÷每年节省费用，即18000÷4800=3.75年，约为四年。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Fortunato insisted on materials from a nearby factory to avoid long-distance delivery emissions (排放). When the supplier said his chosen brown color was only from Texas, he said, “Well, no, I only want the local materials,’”with some exasperation.(Fortunato坚持使用附近工厂的材料，以避免长途运输的排放。当供应商说他选择的棕色材料只能来自德克萨斯州时，他有些exasperation地说：“不，我只想要本地材料。”)”可知，Fortunato一直坚持使用本地材料的原则，而供应商的说法违背了他的初衷，由此可猜测他此时的情绪是有些生气的，exasperation意为“愤怒、恼怒”，与anger意思相近。故选A项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“However, such energy-positive houses still make up less than 1％ of America’s 140 million housing units, which he finds is very disappointing.(然而，这类能源盈余型住宅在美国1.4亿套住房中仍占不到1%，他认为这非常令人失望)”可知，Fortunato因为追随他的人很少而感到失望。故选B项。 D The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NASA led competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food. To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions. About 200 companies entered, which were narrowed down to 11 teams in January 2023 as part of phase 2. On November 19, NASA announced the teams that will progress into the final phase of the competition, with some winners to be announced in March, 2025. All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts. One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, based in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. “It’s making food out of the air.” says Stafford Sheehan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Air Company, “It sounds like magic, but when you see it actually operating, it’s much more simple.” Interstellar Lab in Florida had a different approach. Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system, etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food in space. While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. “You’ve got to start years in advance to make sure you have the capability in place when you need it,” says Ralph Fritsche, senior project manager for space crop production at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 32. Why was the Deep Space Food Challenge launched? A. To find tasty foods for astronauts. B. To found a space food supply center. C. To develop a new source of space food. D. To attract astronauts to food exploration. 33. Which might be the requirement to become the winning company? A. Future space missions lasting three years. B. Entire diets for long-lasting space research. C. Concrete proposals involving a crew of four. D. Sustainable supply of nutritious space foods. 34. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on? A. Describing future space food. B. Showing solutions from competing companies. C. Introducing the current status of space food. D. Explaining the nutritional needs of space food. 35. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Astronauts produce more space food. B. Space explorers face a lack of nutrition. C. New types of space foods are on the way. D. Future space missions last even longer. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，主要讲述NASA启动“深空食物挑战”计划以开发可持续太空食物，并介绍参赛公司的创新解决方案。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions.(为了解决长期任务中宇航员的饮食问题，美国航天局于2022年1月启动了深空食品挑战赛，要求公司为未来的任务提出开发可持续食品的新方法。)”可知，该挑战旨在开发新的太空食物来源。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts.(所有团队都必须展示可以运行三年的系统，并在未来的太空任务中为四名机组人员提供食物。这些提议不需要提供宇航员的全部饮食，但他们确实需要为宇航员创造各种营养食品。)”可知，获胜要求是提供可持续的营养食物供应。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, based in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. (一家公司对这项任务采取了令人难以置信的不同寻常的方法。总部位于纽约的航空公司设计了一种系统，可以利用宇航员在太空中呼出的二氧化碳来生产酒精，然后将酒精喂给酵母，生产出“适合食用的东西”。)”描述利用二氧化碳生产食物的方法，第五段“Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system, etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food in space.(它的系统被称为NUCLEUS，是一组小胶囊。每个都是独立的，有自己的温度、浇水系统等。这将允许种植不同的蔬菜，这样宇航员就可以在太空中轻松种植自己的食物。)”描述NUCLEUS种植系统可知，两段均以具体案例展示参赛公司的创新方案。从而推知两段焦点是展示解决方案。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NASA led competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food.(太空食品的未来可能是简单而奇怪的。几十年来，宇航员在外太空访问期间主要依靠预包装食品或偶尔种植的蔬菜。随着地球轨道以外任务的临近，美国国家航空航天局领导的一项竞赛希望改变这一切，开启可持续太空食品的新时代。)”和最后一段“While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. (虽然深太空食品挑战赛的获奖想法不会立即被宇航员使用，但它们展示了未来任务的可能性。)”可知，全文围绕NASA挑战开发新型可持续太空食物展开，强调创新方法正在推进。C项“新型太空食品即将问世”概括这一核心主题，适合用作标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 How to Get Comfortable with AI Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword — it’s becoming a part of everyday life.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者买了一个精美的笔记本，结果却因为太过珍惜而没有使用它，反而作者在破本子上写下了许多灵感。这件事让作者明白，真正的奇迹发生在实际的写作中，而非完美的纸页里。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我确信这会让我成为那种经常写日记、捕捉美好想法的人。A. changes改变；B. captures捕捉，记录；C. follows跟随；D. lacks缺乏。根据上文“journals regularly”和空后“beautiful thoughts”可知，这里指写日记记录美好想法。故选B。 【42题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：那本漂亮的笔记本几个月没动过。A. unfinished未完成的；B. unclaimed无人认领的；C. undiscovered未被发现的；D. untouched原封未动的。根据上文“But it didn’t work.(但它没有起作用。)”和下文“When I finally opened it, I hesitated.(当我终于打开它时，我犹豫了一下。)”可知，作者买完笔记本就没用过，一直没动它。故选D。 【43题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些页面感觉太精致、太珍贵，不能浪费在我凌乱的笔迹和想法上。A. secret秘密的；B. smart聪明的；C. precious珍贵的；D. personal个人的。根据空前“The pages felt too delicate”可知，笔记本的页面非常精美、珍贵。故选C。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：于是我合上了它。A. closed关闭、合上；B. decorated装饰；C. delivered递送；D. fixed使固定。根据上文“The pages felt too delicate and too _____ to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas.”可知，笔记本太精美了，作者不想乱写乱划糟蹋它，所以合上笔记本，不再用它。故选A。 【45题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：相反，我抓起了一本破旧丑陋的作文笔记本，封面破了，角也折了。A. torn撕裂的；B. hard坚硬的；C. hidden隐藏的；D. fancy精致的。根据空前“an old, ugly composition notebook”和空后“dog-eared corners”可知，笔记本破旧丑陋，有折角，说明笔记本的外观不好，这里应是说封面破了。故选A。 【46题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我开始在上面写满各种东西：晨间书写、随机的想法和提醒。A. guard守卫；B. surround围绕；C. fill使充满；D. serve服务。根据空后“it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders”可知，作者在破旧笔记本上写了各种各样的东西，也就是用内容填满它。故选C。 【47题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这是令人惊讶的自由。A. annoying令人恼怒的；B. freeing使人自由的；C. demanding要求高的；D. convincing有说服力的。根据上文“I started to ______ it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders.”和下文“in that freedom”可知，作者在破旧笔记本上随意书写，感觉很自由。故选B。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我们过于欣赏某个东西时，我们会对它加以限制，觉得它“太好了”。A. plan计划；B. doubt怀疑；C. control控制；D. admire欣赏。根据下文“feeling it is “too good””可知，感觉这个东西“太好”，那就是非常欣赏它。故选D。 【49题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但丑陋的笔记本没有这样的压力。A. luck运气；B. warning警告；C. promise承诺；D. pressure压力。根据上文“we place limits around it”和下文“With the pressure off”可知，笔记本太好，我们会有许多书写压力，而对破笔记本则没有这样的压力。故选D。 【50题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它告诉我，“这是一个思考和生活的工具，而不是博物馆的作品。”A. tool工具；B. test测试；C. guide指南；D. reason原因。根据空后“for thinking and living”可知，笔记本是用来思考和生活的书写工具。故选A。 【51题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：事情是这样的：不完美的笔记本是创意孵化器。A. incomplete不完整的；B. impractical不切实际的；C. imperfect不完美的；D. irregular不规则的。根据上文“an old, ugly composition notebook with a _____ cover and dog-eared corners”可知，笔记本破旧丑陋，还有缺陷，这里指不完美的笔记本。故选C。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：你尝试可能会失败的事情。A. cheat欺骗；B. fail失败；C. hurt伤害；D. disappear消失。根据上文“_____ notebooks are idea incubators (孵化器)”和空前“You try things that might”以及下文“bad ideas”可知，既然破旧的笔记本是创意孵化器，那么在上面可以随意尝试书写想法，而这些想法不一定都会成功。故选B。 【53题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：在这种自由中，我最初感到尴尬的坏想法逐渐演变成我引以为豪的作品。A. slightly轻微地；B. initially最初；C. hardly几乎不；D. consequently因此。根据下文“gradually evolved into work I’m proud of”可知，最初的坏想法可能最终变成好作品。故选B。 【54题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：它是你真正伸手拿过来用的东西。A. run into遇到；B. refer to参考；C. look at看；D. reach for伸手去拿。根据上文“The best notebook is never the most beautiful one.(最好的笔记本永远不会是最漂亮的。)”和前文作者用破旧笔记本自由写作而不是用精致笔记本的描述可知，最好的笔记本不在于精致外观，而在于拿起来使用。故选D。 【55题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：因为奇迹发生在写作中，而不是在完美的页面中。A. preparing准备；B. thinking思考；C. writing写作；D. reading阅读。根据上文“I started to _____ it with everything: morning pages, random thoughts and reminders.”和“I actually wrote.(我确实在写作。)”可知，文章核心是写日记，奇迹发生在实际书写中，而非完美的空白纸页。故选C。 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Year of the Horse promotes Chinese culture across the world, ____56____ has brought a new wave of cultural enthusiasm.

Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was keen (热衷的) on various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her. On a sunny afternoon, her favourite neighbour, Mrs. Baker, visited her. “I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said. “Do you know the empty lot (空地) down the street?” Callie nodded, smiling. The place is a mess, covered with rubbish. “The city is letting us use the lot for a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker! ” Callie said cheerfully. “I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have a good place to go.” At school the next morning, Callie’s best friend Tamara was waiting for her in their classroom. Tamara said excitedly, “My mum bought tickets to go to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the new amusement park to open. Callie sighed and worried about her problem for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school?” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mum?” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choices, and you need to make your own decision. But I know you will do what is best,” her mother answered. 注意： 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Saturday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision. She wanted to go to Fun World, but in the end, she decided that her promise to her neighbour was more important. The next day at school, Callie apologized to Tamara and told her that she would not be able to go to Fun World. Tamara tried to understand, but Callie could tell that she was disappointed. The girls hardly spoke for the rest of the week. They kept silent with great care. On Saturday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. “Hi, Callie,” her neighbour said, “thank you for helping us today.” “You’re welcome,” Callie said. Callie smiled as she walked across the lot with a large rubbish bag. “Do you need any help?” a voice behind her asked. Callie turned, surprised to see Tamara. “I want to help you. My mum said she would take us to Fun World next weekend.” With joint efforts, they finished the cleaning. Both Callie and Tamara have learnt that once a promise is made, it needs to be kept. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文讲述了高中生Callie在社区中热衷于志愿活动的故事。她答应帮助邻居Mrs. Baker清理空地以建立社区花园，但同时也收到了朋友Tamara的邀请，去新开的游乐场Fun World。Callie面临的选择让她陷入了两难。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①第一段首句“Callie在那个晚上剩下的时间里都在思考她的决定。”并结合下段开头可知，Callie在权衡自己的选择后，决定遵守对邻居的承诺。她在学校向Tamara道歉，尽管Tamara试图理解，但仍然感到失望。 ②第二段首句“星期六，Callie在那块空地上见到了Baker夫人。”可知，Callie如约来到空地帮忙清理。意外的是，Tamara也出现了，并表示愿意帮忙。最终，两人一起完成了清理工作，并从中学会了承诺的重要性。 2.续写线索：Callie的思考——决定遵守承诺——向Tamara道歉——两人的沉默——Callie和Mrs. Baker的相遇——Tamara的出现——两人合作完成清理——承诺的重要性。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①思考：think about → contemplate, consider ②帮助：help → assist ③决定：decide → determine, resolve ④道歉：apologize → say sorry, express regret 情绪类： ①惊讶的：surprised → astonished, amazed ②失望的：disappointed → let down, saddened 【点睛】【高级句型1】The next day at school, Callie apologized to Tamara and told her that she would not be able to go to Fun World. (that引导的宾语从句) 【高级句型2】Both Callie and Tamara have learnt that once a promise is made, it needs to be kept.

B As a child in Serbia, Soldat Tatjana, now director of the Serbian Cultural Center in Beijing, watched her father read each evening, his fingers following the lines of text in a respectful and concentrated manner. “What magic lay in those pages?” she wondered. Soon, her parents gifted her illustrated fairy tales. Among them, The Hedgehog’s (刺猬的) Home — a simple story about a hedgehog defending its home — stood out, teaching her patriotism through the story. “Every book leaves a mark,” she says, quoting a sentence Serbian people often say, “even a bad one teaches you how to make a right judgment” This lesson accompanied her through her life. At university, Tatjana chose to study Chinese, drawn by Serbia’s unexpected cultural similarities with China. Without a Serbian-Chinese dictionary, she learned characters through a third language and was amazed at how words and texts help a society interpret and respond to the world. Books also supported her during struggles. Tatjana recalls Nikola Tesla, Serbia’s visionary inventor, whose childhood love for history and literature fueled his genius. Like him, she sees books as entry — to science, philosophy, and the quiet toughness of characters like the hedgehog. Now, despite the rise of the digital age, Tatjana champions paper’s lasting power. Turning paper pages and breathing in the smell of ink, she finds focus — an amazing reading experience she can never get from reading on a screen. Reading paper books is a mental training to enhance cognitive (认知的) functions and strengthen memory ability. “Its weight in your hands, its pleasant smell surrounding you — these are acts of mindfulness,” she says. While developing empathy, reading also serves as a shelter, relieving stress while caring for the soul. “Thus, no matter the circumstances, we must never forget the power of reading,” she says. 24. What initially inspired Tatjana’s passion for reading? A. Strong national pride. B. Artistic creative talent. C. Early parental influence. D. Strong wildlife fascination. 25. How did Tatjana tackle the obstacle in learning Chinese? A. By analyzing fictional characters. B. By attending after-school lessons. C. By consulting a Chinese dictionary. D. By relying on an additional language. 26. Why does Tatjana prioritize paper books over digital reading? A. They provide entertainment and simple relaxation. B. They emphasize traditional culture over technology. C. They avoid unpleasant smells while reading quietly. D. They promote sustained attention and mental growth. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Girl and Her Fairy Tales B. The Magic of Paper Pages C. The Inspiration for Literature D. The Challenge of the Digital Age C With gas and electricity bills rising faster, a house that produces more energy than it consumes might sound appealing. Robert Fortunato’s “Green Idea House” has achieved this for over a decade. He remodeled (改造) his family’s 1959 house into a 2150-square-foot environmentally friendly home at a cost lower than a traditional remodel. “It’s one of the first net-zero energy, zero carbon case study houses built cheaper than standard construction,” he says, using “standard materials and off-the-shelf (现成的) technologies anyone can use.” Though the project needed much time, research, and adaptability, his family now lives in a stylish four — bedroom home. Fortunato hopes others can learn from his experience. First, you need to get into the power business. Fortunato wanted to cut climate-warming fossil fuels and chose electric appliances. To supply electricity, he fixed 26 roof solar panels that power the house and two electric cars. Though the panels cost $18,000, his family saves $4,800 yearly. Second, thorough research and planning are key, His house’s flat roof extends five feet, hiding solar panels and saving 60％ of heating or cooling energy: it shades the house in summer and lets sunlight warm it in winter. This idea came from Native American house design. Third, stick to your plan firmly and update it when needed. Fortunato insisted on materials from a nearby factory to avoid long-distance delivery emissions (排放). When the supplier said his chosen brown color was only from Texas, he said, “Well, no, I only want the local materials,” with some exasperation. Finally, don’t expect everyone to follow. Fortunato made his house affordable and attractive, unlike some efficient homes that looked like spaceships, to encourage others. However, such energy-positive houses still make up less than 1％ of America’s 140 million housing units, which he finds is very disappointing. 28. What makes Robert Fortunato’s “Green Idea House” special at first? A. It has a long history. B. It is more energy-saving. C. It is a 2150-square-foot house. D. It uses new and expensive technologies. 29. How long did it take Fortunato to recover the cost of the solar panels? A. About four years. B. About three years. C. About fifteen years. D. About thirteen years. 30. What does the underlined word “exasperation” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Anger. B. Curiosity. C. Excitement. D. Embarrassment. 31. What is Fortunato’s attitude towards his project? A. He feels regretful about the time it took. B. He is so disappointed with few followers. C. He thinks it is too expensive for ordinary families. D. He worries that the technologies will soon be out of date. D The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NASA led competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food. To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions. About 200 companies entered, which were narrowed down to 11 teams in January 2023 as part of phase 2. On November 19, NASA announced the teams that will progress into the final phase of the competition, with some winners to be announced in March, 2025. All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts. One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, based in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. “It’s making food out of the air.” says Stafford Sheehan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Air Company, “It sounds like magic, but when you see it actually operating, it’s much more simple.” Interstellar Lab in Florida had a different approach. Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system, etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food in space. While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. “You’ve got to start years in advance to make sure you have the capability in place when you need it,” says Ralph Fritsche, senior project manager for space crop production at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 32. Why was the Deep Space Food Challenge launched? A. To find tasty foods for astronauts. B. To found a space food supply center. C. To develop a new source of space food. D. To attract astronauts to food exploration. 33. Which might be the requirement to become the winning company? A. Future space missions lasting three years. B. Entire diets for long-lasting space research. C. Concrete proposals involving a crew of four. D. Sustainable supply of nutritious space foods. 34. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on? A. Describing future space food. B. Showing solutions from competing companies. C. Introducing the current status of space food. D. Explaining the nutritional needs of space food. 35. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Astronauts produce more space food. B. Space explorers face a lack of nutrition. C. New types of space foods are on the way. D. Future space missions last even longer. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 How to Get Comfortable with AI Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword — it’s becoming a part of everyday life.
