On the other side of the world, Bruce and Margaret Anschau, an Australian couple, had made a promise. For every kid they had, they would sponsor (资助) one in need. Through a charity organization, they learned about little Edward, supporting him through many years. And now, over 30 years later, they finally got to meet in person. Kankaka, who is now 36 years old, grew up to be an HIV research scientist who studies at John Hopkins University. After learning he had to attend a medical meeting in Australia, he made a plan to visit the Anschaus in their hometown. “It’s like meeting a family you had never seen,” Kankaka said. The family, who had been sponsoring Kankaka since 1995, had held onto every single letter and picture sent by him. To make their meeting all the more memorable, they brought it all with them when they met at the airport, allowing Kankaka to look back on his youth and know how much the family cared about him throughout the years. While the usual sponsorship ends when the kid turns 18, they continued to support Kankaka through university. To make their children part of the process, the Anschaus allowed them to choose who they wanted to sponsor. It was their then 4-year-old son Tim, who picked Kankaka for his big smile. The family sent money every month to help child development centers, which provided Kankaka with education and training, regular (定期的) medical check-ups, meals, and snacks. Kankaka, now a recognized scientist in his field, is positive about the developments in HIV research. “There’s been great progress,” he said. “At some point during our lifetime hopefully a cure (疗法) will come.” And if it weren’t for the Anschaus, he may not have been part of the solution. “There’s nothing I could do that would be enough to say thank you,” Kankaka added. 4. What made the Anschaus decide to sponsor Edward Kankaka? A. Edward’s sad story of losing his father early. B. A charity organization’s heartfelt call for help. C. Their children’s request to help children in Uganda. D. Their plan to sponsor a child for each of their own kids. 5. Why did Edward Kankaka go to Australia? A. To visit the Anschaus’ hometown. B. To take part in a medical meeting. C. To do research on HIV at a local university. D. To express his thanks to the Anschaus in person. 6. Which of the following can best describe the Anschaus? A. Kind and selfless. B. Rich and powerful. C. Proud and successful. D. Humorous and wise. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. An HIV researcher’s great achievements. B. The importance of charity organizations. C. An Australian family’s way to raise children. D. A touching story of sponsorship and thankfulness. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了澳大利亚Anschau夫妇通过慈善组织资助乌干达儿童Edward Kankaka，助其成长为HIV科学家，并在30年后见面的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On the other side of the world, Bruce and Margaret Anschau, an Australian couple, had made a promise. For every kid they had, they would sponsor (资助) one in need. Through a charity organization, they learned about little Edward, supporting him through many years. (在世界的另一端，澳大利亚夫妇Bruce Anschau和Margaret Anschau许下了承诺。他们每有一个孩子，就会资助一个需要帮助的孩子。通过一个慈善组织，他们了解了小Edward，多年来一直支持他。)”可知，Anschau夫妇的资助决定源于他们计划每有一个自己的孩子就资助一个贫困儿童。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“After learning he had to attend a medical meeting in Australia, he made a plan to visit the Anschaus in their hometown. (在得知他要去澳大利亚参加一个医学会议后，他计划去Anschau一家的家乡看望他们。)”可知，Edward Kankaka前往澳大利亚是为了参加医学会议。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Through a charity organization, they learned about little Edward, supporting him through many years. (通过一个慈善组织，他们了解了小Edward，多年来一直支持他。)”、第三段中“The family, who had been sponsoring Kankaka since 1995, had held onto every single letter and picture sent by him. (这家人从1995年开始资助Kankaka，保存着他寄来的每一封信和每一张照片。)”、“While the usual sponsorship ends when the kid turns 18, they continued to support Kankaka through university. (虽然通常的赞助在孩子年满18岁时就结束了，但他们继续支持Kankaka读完大学。)”和第四段中“The family sent money every month to help child development centers, which provided Kankaka with education and training, regular (定期的) medical check-ups, meals, and snacks. (这个家庭每个月都给儿童发展中心寄钱，这些中心为Kankaka提供教育和培训、定期体检、膳食和零食。)”可知，Anschau夫妇持续资助Edward至大学结束，通过儿童发展中心提供全方位帮助，而且保留Edward寄来的所有信件和照片，这些体现了他们的善良与无私。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Through a charity organization, they learned about little Edward, supporting him through many years. And now, over 30 years later, they finally got to meet in person. (通过一个慈善组织，他们了解了小Edward，多年来一直支持他。现在，30多年过去了，他们终于见面了。)”、第二段中“After learning he had to attend a medical meeting in Australia, he made a plan to visit the Anschaus in their hometown. (在得知他要去澳大利亚参加一个医学会议后，他计划去Anschau一家的家乡看望他们。)”和最后一段中“And if it weren’t for the Anschaus, he may not have been part of the solution. “There’s nothing I could do that would be enough to say thank you,” Kankaka added. (如果没有Anschau一家，他可能不会成为解决方案的一部分。“无论我做什么都不足以表达我的谢意，”Kankaka补充道。)”可知，文章主要讲述了澳大利亚Anschau夫妇通过慈善组织资助乌干达儿童Edward Kankaka，助其成长为HIV科学家，并在30年后见面的故事。因此，文章的核心是资助与感恩的双向感人故事。故选D项。 C Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less. This is the finding of a survey of 710 parents of children aged 1 to 5, conducted in August by researchers from the University of Michigan Health C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital. The survey showed that outdoor and imaginative play remain common, but screen-based activities are quickly catching up as a daily fixture of children’s lives. Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day. “Outdoor play is essential for young children’s learning and development,” said Sarah Clark, co-director of the survey. “Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.” The survey also pointed out that digital activities have become a common part of children’s daily lives. Most parents of preschoolers admitted (承认) that they often hand a phone or tablet to their children in the car, at restaurants or in public places when they would like them to be occupied (忙碌). While phones and tablets are convenient, Clark suggested other options, such as setting up a “quiet kit” with fun books, or small toys that children can use when on the go. Additionally, the survey found that parental anxiety plays a role in limiting (限制) outdoor play. Four out of ten parents said they feel nervous when their children go too far or climb too high. While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.” 8. What is the percentage of parents surveyed saying their children watch videos daily? A. 33%. B. 40%. C. 50%. D. 60%. 9. What does the underlined word “essential” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Harmful. B. Important. C. Challenging. D. Responsible. 10. What is probably Clark’s suggestion for parents? A. Let children lead their own play. B. Allow children to play in groups. C. Set up more screen time activities. D. Limit playtime for safety reasons. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Parents’ Role in Children’s Screen Time B. The Influence of Digital Games on Students C. Preschoolers: More Outdoors, Less Screens D. Outdoor Games: A Growing Sense of Unease 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。密歇根大学Health C. S. Mott儿童医院的一项调查显示，学龄前儿童观看视频时间增多，户外活动时间减少，指出父母应鼓励孩子多参与户外活动以促进其身心发展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day.(近三分之一的受访家长表示，他们的孩子经常参与“媒体游戏”，比如电子游戏，五分之三的家长表示，他们的孩子每天都看视频)”可知，有60%的受访家长表示他们的孩子每天都看视频。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后“Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.(我们的报告表明，许多家庭可以通过鼓励更广泛的游戏体验来支持更健康的发展。例如，父母可以在购物前带孩子去公园，或者利用一小段散步时间玩跳跃游戏)”可推断，画线词所在句意为“户外游戏对幼儿的学习和发展至关重要”，画线词意为“至关重要的”，与Important的意思最接近。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.”(虽然安全问题是可以理解的，但Clark强调，一点独立有助于孩子成长，鼓励好奇心和创造力。她补充说：“户外游戏并不需要完美或有教育意义才有益。”“父母只需要腾出时间和空间让孩子自由玩耍。”)”可推断，Clark主张让孩子自由、自主地玩耍。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。总览全文核心内容，尤其是第一段“Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less.(尽管户外活动对孩子的健康有众所周知的好处，但十分之一的学龄前儿童家长表示，他们的孩子每周只在户外活动一次或更少)”及最后一段中““Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.”(“户外游戏并不需要完美或有教育意义才有益。”她补充说。“父母只需要腾出时间和空间让孩子自由玩耍。”)”可知，密歇根大学Health C. S. Mott儿童医院的一项调查显示学龄前儿童观看视频时间增多，户外活动时间减少，指出父母应鼓励孩子多参与户外活动以促进其健康发展。由此可知，C项“学龄前儿童：多户外活动，少屏幕”能够体现语篇的主旨，适合作本文标题。故选C。 D In recent years, interest in space tourism has grown rapidly. Once a concept limited to science fiction, space travel for private individuals is now becoming a reality. Companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are developing commercial spaceflight programs, promising a future where ordinary people can experience life beyond Earth. Wealthy adventurers, celebrities, and even a few researchers have already taken part in these early missions, drawing global attention. However, space tourism raises important questions. Critic argue that it remains an activity for the wealthy, as ticket prices are extremely high. A single trip can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, making space tourism accessible only to a select few. Others worry about the environmental impact. Rocket launches release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Some scientists fear that an increase in spaceflights could worsen these issues if not properly regulated. Supporters, on the other hand, believe that space tourism has benefits. It drives innovation in aerospace technology, leading to advancements that could make space travel more affordable in the future. Additionally, some believe that seeing Earth from space — often called the “overview effect” — gives travelers a deeper appreciation for the planet and inspires greater environmental responsibility. Documentaries and interviews with early space tourists suggest this emotional shift is genuine and long-lasting. Despite the excitement, space tourism remains in its early stages. While a few commercial flights have successfully taken private passengers to the edge of space, long-term sustainability is still uncertain. The cost must decrease significantly for space travel to become widely accessible. Scientists also emphasize the need for better safety measures, as spaceflight remains a high-risk activity. Some experts compare space tourism to the early days of aviation. A century ago, air travel was expensive and rare, but today, millions of people fly every day. Could the same happen with space travel? Many in the industry believe so, but it may take decades before space tourism becomes a regular part of human life. For now, space tourism remains a thrilling yet controversial topic. While the idea of ordinary people traveling to space is inspiring, questions about cost, safety, and environmental impact must be addressed before it can truly take off. 12. What is one major concern about space tourism? A. It harms the environment. B. It is illegal in many countries. C. It has replaced scientific space missions. D. It distract s public attention from climate issues. 13. Why do some supporters have a positive view of space tourism? A. It is a safe and affordable industry. B. It helps reduce global carbon emissions. C. It could encourage better treatment of Earth. D. It provides a solution to overcrowding on Earth. 14. What does the underlined phrase “overview effect” most likely refer to? A. A feeling of being lost in space. B. A dangerous effect of space travel. C. An ability to see beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. D. A change in perspective after viewing Earth from space. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Space Tourism Will Fail. B. Is Space Travel worth the Cost? C. How Governments Control Space Travel. D. Space Tourism: The Next Step for Humanity? 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍太空旅游的发展现状、引发的争议及未来可能性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Others worry about the environmental impact. Rocket launches release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.(另一些人则担心其对环境的影响。火箭发射向大气中释放大量二氧化碳和其他污染物，加剧了气候变化)”可知，太空旅游的一个主要担忧是它会危害环境。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Additionally, some believe that seeing Earth from space — often called the “overview effect” — gives travelers a deeper appreciation for the planet and inspires greater environmental responsibility.(此外，一些人认为，从太空看地球——通常被称为“概览效应”——让旅行者对地球有更深的欣赏，并激发更强的环境责任感)”可知，支持者对太空旅游持积极态度是因为它可能促使人们更好地对待地球。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Additionally, some believe that seeing Earth from space — often called the “overview effect” — gives travelers a deeper appreciation for the planet and inspires greater environmental responsibility.(此外，一些人认为，从太空看地球——通常被称为“概览效应”——让旅行者对地球有更深的欣赏，并激发更强的环境责任感)”可知，破折号之间的内容与该句的内容一致，该句是对“overview effect”的解释，由此可知，“overview effect”指的是从太空俯瞰地球后，人们在观念上发生的转变。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了太空旅游从科幻概念变为现实的发展现状，探讨了其引发的成本、环境、安全等争议，也提及了未来普及的可能性，如同航空旅行的发展历程，因此D项“太空旅游：人类的下一步?”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. ___16___.

From time to time, they all need to talk to people ____37____ don’t live nearby. What is the ____38____ (solve) ? For some, the answer is the technology of videoconferencing.

Videoconferencing can ____40____ (great) help avoid some possible misunderstandings by allowing people to both hear and see each other during conversations.

This makes you able ____44____ (show) your computer monitor to others whether they’re in the office with you or not. The key to a successful videoconferencing session (会议) is choosing the ____45____ (suit) platform. 【答案】36. in 37. that##who 38. solution 39. communicating 40. greatly 41. the 42. be paid 43. called 44. to show 45. suitable 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了视频会面的优点、便利性及成功进行视频会面的关键。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：成功的商人、忙碌的学生和远方的朋友：他们有什么共同点？have...in common为固定短语，意为“有……共同之处”。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：时不时地，他们都需要和不住在附近的人交谈。空处引导定语从句，先行词是people，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，所以空处需用关系代词that/who引导定语从句。 【38题详解】 考查名词。句意：解决方案是什么？根据空前定冠词the可知，空处需用名词solution“解决方案”作表语，由谓语动词is可知，空处名词需用单数形式。 【39题详解】 考查动名词。句意：因此，通过写作甚至电话交流有一些局限性。空格处在句中作主语，需用动名词形式communicating。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：视频会面可以让人们在交谈时既能听到又能看到对方，从而大大有助于避免一些可能的误解。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词help，great的副词为greatly“非常，大大地”。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：允许进行视觉交流并不是视频会面的唯一好处。此处表示特指，空处需用定冠词the。 【42题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：有些服务是免费的，而有些则需要付费。分析句子结构可知，空处需用动词不定式作宾语，因为need“需要”表被动时，后面接动词不定式的被动语态，pay意为“付款”，所以动词不定式符号to后用be paid。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：许多视频会面平台都有一个有用的工具，叫做屏幕共享。本句已有谓语动词have，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词，动词call“叫做”与tool之间是被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词called作后置定语修饰名词tool。 【44题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：这使你能够向其他人展示你的电脑显示器，无论他们是否和你在一起。make sb. able to do sth.为固定短语，意为“使某人能够做某事”，所以空处需用动词show“展示”的不定式形式。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：成功进行视频会面的关键是选择合适的平台。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词platform，suit的形容词为suitable“合适的”。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 你校正组织英语演讲比赛，请以“The Power of Friendship”为主题写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1. 友谊的重要性；2. 如何获得友谊。 注意：1. 词数80左右；2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 The Power of Friendship Good morning, everyone! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The Power of Friendship The topic of my speech is “The Power of Friendship”.

But by the second day, she was crying on the phone, telling her mom she wanted to come home. It could be because she was the baby of a family of six and the only girl, or her family was particularly close and loving. Unfortunately, her roommate, Zara, heard her crying. As soon as Jenny hung up the call, Zara started making fun of her. “Oh my! Does baby miss her mommy in Phoenix?” Jenny wiped her tears and asked whether she missed her parents and longed to go home. Zara replied coldly that she had put away such childish things and warned that she shouldn’t behave like a cry baby. Soon everyone in the dorm was calling Jenny “Cry Baby”. The idea of quitting college and running home constantly occurred to Jenny. But somehow, she made it through. One day, her dad called and asked her to come home for a long weekend. In the end, her father added that she could bring her roommate Zara home and he would soon send two return tickets. Jenny had never told her parents that Zara was far from friendly or supportive. She’d been too ashamed and eager to hide her complete misery(痛苦) from her family. That evening, Jenny told Zara about her family’s invitation. Zara stared at Jenny, her mouth open. “A ticket for me? Why?” she asked. “I told them you were nice to me…So they wanted to be nice to you...” Jenny explained awkwardly. After a while, Zara said, “I’m coming!” 注意： 1．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。 Two weeks later, Jenny and Zara landed in Phoenix. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling the family’s warmth, Zara began to sob. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Two weeks later, Jenny and Zara landed in Phoenix.

Back home, Zara was greeted by delicious food in a harmonious atmosphere. During her stay, Jenny’s family constantly expressed their gratitude to Zara for taking care of Jenny. Feeling the family’s warmth, Zara began to sob. In between sobs, Zara admitted that she envied her because she had never experienced the love. Jenny wiped her tears away and joked “Look! who’s the cry baby now!”. Jenny’s mother hugged Zara “It’s OK. If you like, we can be a family.” Zara felt the warmth surging through her body, glowing with happiness.

B For Edward Kankaka, life didn’t have an easy start. Born in Uganda, he lost his father before turning four, having to be raised by his grandmother. On the other side of the world, Bruce and Margaret Anschau, an Australian couple, had made a promise. For every kid they had, they would sponsor (资助) one in need. Through a charity organization, they learned about little Edward, supporting him through many years. And now, over 30 years later, they finally got to meet in person. Kankaka, who is now 36 years old, grew up to be an HIV research scientist who studies at John Hopkins University. After learning he had to attend a medical meeting in Australia, he made a plan to visit the Anschaus in their hometown. “It’s like meeting a family you had never seen,” Kankaka said. The family, who had been sponsoring Kankaka since 1995, had held onto every single letter and picture sent by him. To make their meeting all the more memorable, they brought it all with them when they met at the airport, allowing Kankaka to look back on his youth and know how much the family cared about him throughout the years. While the usual sponsorship ends when the kid turns 18, they continued to support Kankaka through university. To make their children part of the process, the Anschaus allowed them to choose who they wanted to sponsor. It was their then 4-year-old son Tim, who picked Kankaka for his big smile. The family sent money every month to help child development centers, which provided Kankaka with education and training, regular (定期的) medical check-ups, meals, and snacks. Kankaka, now a recognized scientist in his field, is positive about the developments in HIV research. “There’s been great progress,” he said. “At some point during our lifetime hopefully a cure (疗法) will come.” And if it weren’t for the Anschaus, he may not have been part of the solution. “There’s nothing I could do that would be enough to say thank you,” Kankaka added. 4. What made the Anschaus decide to sponsor Edward Kankaka? A. Edward’s sad story of losing his father early. B. A charity organization’s heartfelt call for help. C. Their children’s request to help children in Uganda. D. Their plan to sponsor a child for each of their own kids. 5. Why did Edward Kankaka go to Australia? A. To visit the Anschaus’ hometown. B. To take part in a medical meeting. C. To do research on HIV at a local university. D. To express his thanks to the Anschaus in person. 6. Which of the following can best describe the Anschaus? A. Kind and selfless. B. Rich and powerful. C. Proud and successful. D. Humorous and wise. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. An HIV researcher’s great achievements. B. The importance of charity organizations. C. An Australian family’s way to raise children. D. A touching story of sponsorship and thankfulness. C Despite the well-known benefits for children’s health, one in ten parents of preschoolers say that their children play outside just once a week or less. This is the finding of a survey of 710 parents of children aged 1 to 5, conducted in August by researchers from the University of Michigan Health C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital. The survey showed that outdoor and imaginative play remain common, but screen-based activities are quickly catching up as a daily fixture of children’s lives. Nearly one-third of parents surveyed reported that their children regularly take part in “media play”, such as video games, while three in five said their children watch videos every day. “Outdoor play is essential for young children’s learning and development,” said Sarah Clark, co-director of the survey. “Our report suggests that many families could support healthier development by encouraging a wider variety of play experiences. For example, parents could take their children to the park before shopping or use a short walk to play a game with jumping.” The survey also pointed out that digital activities have become a common part of children’s daily lives. Most parents of preschoolers admitted (承认) that they often hand a phone or tablet to their children in the car, at restaurants or in public places when they would like them to be occupied (忙碌). While phones and tablets are convenient, Clark suggested other options, such as setting up a “quiet kit” with fun books, or small toys that children can use when on the go. Additionally, the survey found that parental anxiety plays a role in limiting (限制) outdoor play. Four out of ten parents said they feel nervous when their children go too far or climb too high. While safety concerns are understandable, Clark stressed that a little independence helps children grow, encouraging curiosity and creativity. “Outdoor play doesn’t need to be perfect or educational to be beneficial,” she added. “Parents just need to make time and space for their children to play freely.” 8. What is the percentage of parents surveyed saying their children watch videos daily? A. 33%. B. 40%. C. 50%. D. 60%. 9. What does the underlined word “essential” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Harmful. B. Important. C. Challenging. D. Responsible. 10. What is probably Clark’s suggestion for parents? A. Let children lead their own play. B. Allow children to play in groups. C. Set up more screen time activities. D. Limit playtime for safety reasons. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Parents’ Role in Children’s Screen Time B. The Influence of Digital Games on Students C. Preschoolers: More Outdoors, Less Screens D. Outdoor Games: A Growing Sense of Unease D In recent years, interest in space tourism has grown rapidly. Once a concept limited to science fiction, space travel for private individuals is now becoming a reality. Companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are developing commercial spaceflight programs, promising a future where ordinary people can experience life beyond Earth. Wealthy adventurers, celebrities, and even a few researchers have already taken part in these early missions, drawing global attention. However, space tourism raises important questions. Critic argue that it remains an activity for the wealthy, as ticket prices are extremely high. A single trip can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, making space tourism accessible only to a select few. Others worry about the environmental impact. Rocket launches release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Some scientists fear that an increase in spaceflights could worsen these issues if not properly regulated. Supporters, on the other hand, believe that space tourism has benefits. It drives innovation in aerospace technology, leading to advancements that could make space travel more affordable in the future. Additionally, some believe that seeing Earth from space — often called the “overview effect” — gives travelers a deeper appreciation for the planet and inspires greater environmental responsibility. Documentaries and interviews with early space tourists suggest this emotional shift is genuine and long-lasting. Despite the excitement, space tourism remains in its early stages. While a few commercial flights have successfully taken private passengers to the edge of space, long-term sustainability is still uncertain. The cost must decrease significantly for space travel to become widely accessible. Scientists also emphasize the need for better safety measures, as spaceflight remains a high-risk activity. Some experts compare space tourism to the early days of aviation. A century ago, air travel was expensive and rare, but today, millions of people fly every day. Could the same happen with space travel? Many in the industry believe so, but it may take decades before space tourism becomes a regular part of human life. For now, space tourism remains a thrilling yet controversial topic. While the idea of ordinary people traveling to space is inspiring, questions about cost, safety, and environmental impact must be addressed before it can truly take off. 12. What is one major concern about space tourism? A. It harms the environment. B. It is illegal in many countries. C. It has replaced scientific space missions. D. It distract s public attention from climate issues. 13. Why do some supporters have a positive view of space tourism? A. It is a safe and affordable industry. B. It helps reduce global carbon emissions. C. It could encourage better treatment of Earth. D. It provides a solution to overcrowding on Earth. 14. What does the underlined phrase “overview effect” most likely refer to? A. A feeling of being lost in space. B. A dangerous effect of space travel. C. An ability to see beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. D. A change in perspective after viewing Earth from space. 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Space Tourism Will Fail. B. Is Space Travel worth the Cost? C. How Governments Control Space Travel. D. Space Tourism: The Next Step for Humanity? 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. ___16___.

It could be because she was the baby of a family of six and the only girl, or her family was particularly close and loving. Unfortunately, her roommate, Zara, heard her crying. As soon as Jenny hung up the call, Zara started making fun of her. “Oh my! Does baby miss her mommy in Phoenix?” Jenny wiped her tears and asked whether she missed her parents and longed to go home. Zara replied coldly that she had put away such childish things and warned that she shouldn’t behave like a cry baby. Soon everyone in the dorm was calling Jenny “Cry Baby”. The idea of quitting college and running home constantly occurred to Jenny. But somehow, she made it through. One day, her dad called and asked her to come home for a long weekend. In the end, her father added that she could bring her roommate Zara home and he would soon send two return tickets. Jenny had never told her parents that Zara was far from friendly or supportive.
