The moon was still in the sky, but the sun was starting to rise. Aaron looked up at the highest point of Cadillac Mountain, one of the first places to see the sunrise in the US. He could hardly imagine himself at the top. “Ready, everyone?” asked Jordan, who was a great climber and was leading their group up the mountain. Aaron had never climbed such a big mountain before. He was more used to drawing and painting. He wasn’t good at sports. But this time, he was climbing for a purpose. He wanted to help his friend Jordan’s mom, Aunt Patty. Aaron grew up with Jordan. Aunt Patty was like a second mom to him. She loved climbing mountains and had dreamed of climbing Cadillac Mountain since college. But a few years ago, Aunt Patty got sick with cancer (癌症). She thought she might never climb again. Her friends and family, including Aaron, started to climb different mountains to raise money for her treatment (治疗).

The group followed him, keeping looking over at Aunt Patty to see if she was all right. Finally, out of breath, the group reached the top. Jordan checked his watch. “5:53, just five minutes before the sunrise,” he said. Aunt Patty sat on the ground. “I can’t believe we’re really here,” she said. Everyone sat beside her and waited. The sky turned purple, pink, and orange, and the sun rose. It was amazing! Aunt Patty broke the silence. “Thank you for coming, everyone,” she said, with tears (眼泪) in her eyes.

They use smart technologies to help make places clean and tidy. They are produced by Autowise.ai, a Shanghai business. “The need for our sweepers has surged in recent years. We also start to sell them in other countries,” said Tang Yanye, a manager at the business. Autowise.ai has received the world’s first road testing license for autonomous sweepers. Also, it is the first Chinese business that sells autonomous sweepers in other countries. Months ago, the business showed its sweepers in Dubai. With smart technologies and special tools like radars (雷达) and cameras, the sweepers could avoid obstacles (障碍), and turn and change direction easily when needed. The sweepers could sweep, wash the road, and pick up rubbish, saving up to 70% on cleaning costs. People were also excited that they could do many different cleaning jobs at once. Autowise.ai, it has introduced these sweepers in over 30 cities worldwide, including in Germany, the United States, and Saudi Arabia. And they have received many good reviews. “Outdoor temperatures in countries like Saudi Arabia can reach 50 to 60°C in the summer. So, it is difficult for human workers to work. Also, Europe has an aging population of human workers. And it is hard and expensive to find younger workers,” Tang said. “But our sweepers can solve these problems perfectly.” Autowise.ai, it believes the market for autonomous sweepers will continue to grow in the coming years. And it plans to keep developing new products to help with more tasks and make life easier for people. 43. What does the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Changed slowly. B. Improved quietly. C. Increased greatly. D. Appeared suddenly. 44. What important achievement has Autowise.ai made? A. It opened a sweeper factory in Dubai. B.

Which of the following can help the sweepers avoid obstacles? ①Radars ②Cameras ③Smart technologies ④Messages from human workers A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 46. What challenges do human workers face according to Tang? A. The need for resting places. B. Difficult conditions and aging. C. Long working hours and stress. D. The high cost of learning new technologies. 47. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain how autonomous sweepers work. B. To introduce the future of autonomous sweepers. C. To encourage people to buy autonomous sweepers. D. To share the success of Chinese autonomous sweepers. D Many kids, especially those under six, write letters backward (倒着). It is called mirror writing. Some adults also write backward after a brain injury (损伤). But for kids, it’s just a part of learning. You might wonder why this happens. Some people think it’s because those children are left-handed, but that’s not true. A 2016 study showed that left-handed and right-handed kids write backward just as often. Another common thought is that mirror writing means a child has dyslexia (诵读困难). However, that’s not correct either. Dyslexia makes it hard for people to connect letters to sounds. So, while kids with dyslexia might have difficulty spelling or sounding words out, writing letters backward isn’t a sign of this condition. So, what causes kids to write letters backward? One reason has to do with how our brains work. When we see something, like a letter, we remember its shape more than its direction. It is a natural, important skill that helps us recognize (认出) things no matter what angle (角度) we see them from. For example, a human can recognize a tiger by looking at it from any angle. When children learn to write, their brains remember the shape of a letter rather than its direction. At the same time, they are still learning the difference between left and right. That’s why they might write letters backward. Another reason for mirror writing may have to do with the letters themselves. In English, most letters, like c, open to the right. Children may pick up on this pattern. Because of that, they might accidentally write letters that open to the left, like j, backward. Have you ever noticed anyone writing letters backward? It’s a normal part of growing up and learning to write. With time and practice, most kids will stop writing backward! 48. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A 2016 study. B. Mirror writing. C. A brain injury. D. Left-handed writing. 49. Which of the following is hard for kids with dyslexia? A. Spelling. B. Hearing. C. Thinking. D. Communicating. 50. According to Paragraph 3, what helps us recognize things from any angle? A. The ability to remember things’ sizes. B. The ability to remember things’ colors. C. The ability to remember things’ shapes. D. The ability to remember things’ directions. 51. How many reasons does the writer give for mirror writing? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 52. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…) A. 1/23/45 B. 1/2/345 C. 1/23/4/5 D. 1/2/34/5 B）请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 The United Nations (UN) has decided that 2025 is the year of glacier preservation (冰川保护). It has also set March 21, 2025, as the first annual (年度的) World Day for Glaciers. ____53____ What are glaciers? You can imagine them as slowly moving ice and snow on land. Over time, the snow adds up and turns into glacier ice. Glaciers have shaped mountains and valleys (山谷) over Earth’s history. They are still moving and changing land in many places today. ____54____ Glaciers are not just important for the land. When glaciers melt (融化), the nutrients (养料) from the water are good for life in rivers and oceans. In some places, glaciers provide water for people and animals. The UN says there are about 200,000 glaciers in the world, covering 10 percent of the land. ____55____ In areas like the Himalayas, many people need glacier water to live. This water fills big rivers, such as the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra. Why are glaciers disappearing? Climate (气候) change is leading to serious problems for glaciers. ____56____ For example, Colombia has lost 90 percent of its glaciers since the mid-19th century. If temperatures rise by 1.5-4 degrees, glaciers could get much smaller by the year 2100. What is the influence of disappearing glaciers? If glaciers disappear, there will be less water for us to drink and farm, while floods (洪水) may happen more often because of melting ice. ____57____ Mountains with glaciers are home to special ecosystems and a large number of the world’s animals. As temperatures rise and glaciers melt, their homes are no longer fit to live in. They may need to move higher up the mountains. A. Why are glaciers important? B. Many glaciers have disappeared. C. What can we do to protect glaciers? D. It will also be bad for animals and plants. E. So lots of animals lose homes because of floods. F. They also hold 70 percent of Earth’s fresh water. G. This way, it encourages everyone to help protect glaciers. 五、补全对话（每小题1分，共5分） 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整。一空一句。 (Nick and Li Yao are talking during the break.

You’re good at writing and you speak English well. I’m sure you’ll do well and even win a prize! L: Thanks. ____60____ It’s a silly fear. N: It’s not.
