B A couple of years ago,Brian Floca was on an island off the coast of Maine when a storm rolled in."There was this kind of electric charge in the air,"he remembers."Just the sensory feeling of the storm coming.The wind,the waves,all of these elemental forces unloading themselves on the island." But also the feeling of-"Is this safe?Should I really be doing this?" That memory stuck with Floca and gave him a great idea.His new children's book,Island Storm,is about two kids who feel a storm coming,pull on their boots and head to the sea.As the waves crash and the rain starts to fall harder and harder,they ask each other,"Is this enough?Or do we try for more?"They decide to go on.Storms accompany children through every stage of their growth,allowing them to push the boundaries,feel fear,and learn from their adventures. "It's a little bit about the urge that we all have sometimes in life,"says Brian Floca.However, he laughs,"The book is not to encourage kids to chase storms.It's to encourage them to be kids by risk-taking."Floca invited Sydney Smith for illustrations."I don't think there's anyone who handles water and weather the way Sydney does and with the depth of feeling,"Floca explains."The illustrations can even be a little bit fearsome,as they communicate that feeling of genuine fear you get when you're in the presence of something frightening,like a summer storm." "I think about childhood a lot in the sense that it's discovering the line by crossing it,"says illustrator Sydney Smith."This book acknowledges that this is what childhood is about-going too far and going back and discovering it on your own.You're allowed that freedom.That's a childhood in an ideal world." And in the end,it's also a book about safety.The pair are there for each other,their mom is waiting for them at home,and the skies will clear. 24.What inspired Floca to write Island Storm? A.His love for adventures. B.His encounter with a storm. C.His curiosity about nature D.His memory of chasing storms. 25.What does the storm symbolize in the book? A.The power of nature. B.Parental authority and rules. C.The risk of growing up. D.Irresponsible childhood behavior. 第2页共8页 26.What does Floca imply about the illustrations? A.They outperform the plots B.They show multiple techniques. C.They express emotion vividly. D.They display real-life situations. 27.What is an ideal childhood like in Sydney's eyes? A.It allows limitless exploration B.It encourages continuous travel. C.It provides complete freedom. D.It combines adventure and safety. 0 Chaotan One,the world's first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide(sCO2),has begun operations in China.This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation,marking a major improvement in efficiency. The invention of the steam engine was a first step towards the Industrial Revolution that changed the world.Over the years,the engine's efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels;however,the medium for doing work remained the same steam. Scientists seeking further improvements in power efficiency noticed that a significant portion of energy is wasted generating steam to drive turbines().Water needs to be boiled first and needs to undergo a phase change to generate steam.Scientists have been looking for a better medium to replace steam. They found this in sCO2.CO2 exists as a gas at room temperature and can be cooled to form dry ice by reducing pressure and lowering temperature.When temperature is raised to 31C,and pressure is increased to 7.37 MPa,CO2 enters its supercritical state,where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas.In applications such as moving a turbine,this is extremely useful since the gas-like state offers less resistance while the liquid-like state provides greater push power. The power generation process works like this:The CO2 is first pressurized into a supercritical state.Then the sCO2 passes through a heat exchanger,absorbing heat from an external heat source, and its temperature rises to 400-600C with a substantial increase in internal energy.After that,it enters a turbine and expands rapidly,driving it to move at a high speed and transforming thermal( energy into mechanical energy,which is then further turned into electrical energy for output. The CO2 remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process,with no phase change loss. The success of the Chaotan One will likely start a new era in power generation,using COz as a medium and bypassing the need to transform water into steam. 28.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A.Highlight the value of steam. B.Applaud the past contributions. C.Outline the Industrial Revolution. D.State the background of a new discovery. 29.What is the biggest problem with steam power generation? A.Energy-intensive. B.Labor-demanding. C.Noise-producing. D.Money-consuming. 30.What plays a key role in the high efficiency of Chaotan One? A.The durability of turbines. B.The quick commercialization of generators. C.The easy availability of CO2. D.The continuity of CO2's supercritical state. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Unpredictable Changes of CO2 B.Polarized Views on Chaotan One C.A Pioneering sCOz Power Generator D.A Breakthrough in Steam Engine 第3页共8页 D Left-handed people,making up only about one in ten of the population,often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers.However,they are over-represented in certain one-on-oe sports like fencing(击剑)and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents.Nevertheless,Dr.Tim Simon,a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports.To test his idea,Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton,table tennis,tennis and three types of fencing for over more than a decade.He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition,where players would be wise to leftists'tricks However,if it was an inborn factor,the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern.In foil(花剑)and epee fencing(重s剑)，and table tennis,there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit.For example,18%of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23%of the top male foil fencers were lefties,but that went up to 28% and 31%respectively when only the top 100 were considered.The other three sports,however,did not show this effect. Dr.Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people's brains work.He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual,spatial and timing information and generating quick responses,which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and epee fencing.Table tennis requires similar skillfulness.Sabre fencing ()by contrast,involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level,where"being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat."This research helps us understand that individual differences,even minute ones,can lead to unique strengths and successes. 32.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word "scarcity"? A.Equality. B.Innocence. C.Rarity. D.Imbalance. 33.What did Simon's experiment seek to distinguish between? A.Different athletes'tricks. B.Two sources of advantage C.Top players'performance. D.The impacts of unfamiliarity. 34.What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply? A.Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. B.A higher proportion of athletic left-handers. C.The variations among different fencing events. D.Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. 35.According to Dr.Simon,what accounts for leftists'sport-specific excellence? A.Their unique brain structure. B.Their superior technical skills. C.Their swifter brain processing. D.Their special movement patterns. 第4页共8页 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，渊分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的进顿中进出可以填入空白处的最佳逃项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Pothos (plants are the perfect houseplants.They grow well with little care,although some care will help them grow best.Use the following mothods to turn your plants into full and thick ones. The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home.36 You can start by removing your plants from their containers.Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom.Sot your plants on top,and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well.Boom!Your plants havo a now home. After transplanting,check the vines (and look for long ones with few leaves.Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants.Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting,leaving one or two leavos on the stems().37 This houseplant grows well in either. While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller,so do small practices like watering.38 Keep a watering routine,and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water.If it fecls dry about an inch or two deep,it's time to water; if it's still slightly wet,wait a little longer to avoid overwatering,which can harm the roots and slow growth. 39 Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth.If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight,try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms. Fertilizing (also benefits these vines.Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully,as the right amount can help promote healthy growth.40 Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time. A.Place the lower parts in soil or water. B.Then,position the plants closer to light C.Do so twice a year during the growing season. D.Re-potting allows them to have more space and nutrients. E.Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant. F.Nevertheless,they still appreciate bright light to grow their best. G.Try to keep the stoms unhurt,but do not worry if any parts fall off. 第三部分话自运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小思，每小题1分，湖分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳逸项。 第3页共日页 Jeff stood at the river's edge with his 28-year-old son Johnny in a special kayak ()who has cerebral palsy ()Though movement was difficult,Johnny's eyes shone with 41 They had participated together in five Ironman competitions,but they had never finished within the 17-hour time limit.Today,they were determined to 42 that.

One afternoon,Mr.Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task.He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers."This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,"Mr.Thompson explained."I'm counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers.You'll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corer"Mary was very excited and happy to help.She nodded eagerly."Absolutely,Mr.Thompson!I can't wait to get started."She was so thrilled that she couldn't stop smiling on her way home.Finally,there was a chance to show everyone what she could do. But working with Alex wasn't going to be easy,Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions.When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project,she knew it would be tricky."I've worked on similar projects before,and simple booths (in the school court yard always work,and we could hand out flyers,"Alex said,without even looking at Mary. Mary frowned (as she thought about Alex's idea.She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates.The new book series deserved a special promotion,"If we just follow the same old methods,how will this book series stand out?"Mary argued."What if we have a book reading session with some authors?Or...?"Alex,however,didn't seem interested in exploring new ideas.He rolled his eyes at Mary's suggestions for creativity,arguing that they didn't have the time or resources to try new things.He believed the usual methods would work best. 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。 Despite their different opinions,Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on.
