________
Recently, US scientists created the first “protocells” (原始细胞) on Earth about 3,800 million years ago. At first, the protocells only merged (融合) with each other, so evolution (进化) couldn’t take place. However, when the scientists added water like the rain on Earth 4 billion years ago, a “wall” formed around each protocell, keeping them separated and causing evolution to happen.
Mosquitoes “seeing” humans
Scientists recently tested how well mosquitoes (蚊子) could feel heat, odor (气体) and CO2.

Many years ago, I had a service station and a roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 am, there was a knock on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from head to feet, explained that he had run out of petrol (汽油). He had left his pregnant (怀孕的) wife and his two children behind at the car and said that he would hitchhike (搭便车) back.
After I had filled a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both crying, saying that they were cold. When the car started, I suggested that they should follow me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater on in my roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and warm. While the little ones played and ran around, I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the adults. It was about 5:00 am when they left with many thanks.
About a month later, I received a letter from a large bus company that we had been trying to get to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It turned out that the young man I had helped was its head, the most powerful person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and told me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this case, a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean. Since 1969. a total of 12 people have walked on the moon, but only three have dived (潜水) to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. As we all know, it’s very challenging to explore Qomolangma, the Sahara Desert, and the Amazon Rainforest. However, the Mariana Trench’s conditions and depth of about 11, 000 meters make it the most difficult to explore. Even more shocking-Although the ocean covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored.
Historically, people explored the ocean just to find ways to travel around the world or to start new trades. Also, to early people, the ocean was a scary place, full of dangerous creatures. They thought that, the deep ocean was dark and lifeless. Furthermore, cold temperatures and huge water pressure prevented ocean exploration, too. Diving into the Mariana Trench, for example, would make you feel like having 50 jumbo jets (巨型喷气式飞机) pressing down on you.
However, the ocean influences everyone in lots of things, from the air we breathe, the food we cat, transportation, medicine, to weather and climate. And the deep ocean holds a huge amount of oil, gas and so on. Therefore, ocean exploration has always been a big dream of humans in modern times.
In recent years, thanks to new technology like improved submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras, humans have been able to explore the deeper sea. On November 17th, 2024, China made a huge breakthrough in deep-sea exploration with its “Mengxiang” ship. With the world’s top drilling system (钻探系统), this amazing ship can reach up to 11, 000 meters below the sea surface, allowing scientists to study and learn more about the earth.
The “Mengxiang” ship is the pride of our nation, pushing the limits of what we know and can achieve. Let’s see how much further China can go in ocean exploration in the future!
26. Which picture may best show the Mariana Trench?
A. B. C. D.
27. What BIG question does Paragraph 2 focus on?
A. What does a jumbo jet look like? B. When did ocean exploration begin?
C. How is space different from the ocean? D. Why is so much of the ocean unexplored?
28. The ocean is important because _________.
A. it brings humans a lot of challenges B. it provides humans with necessary things
C. it influences every field in our daily life D. it covers a quarter of the Earth’s surface
29. According to the passage, the “Mengxiang” ship _________.
a. makes the whole world proud b. carries the Chinese dream
c. can explore outer spaced. shows China’s great power
A. a, c B. b, c C. b, d D. a, d
30. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s ocean exploration?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Uncertain.

第一节 任务型阅读 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文, 用英文填空或回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。
Perhaps one of the trees with “funny” leaves you first learned about in primary school is the ginkgo tree (银杏树). As one of the oldest kinds of trees still alive, the ginkgo is unique (独特的) in many ways.
The ginkgo tree, also known as the maidenhair tree, has a history of 345 million years in China. That is why it is also called “the panda of the plant world”. The ginkgo tree can keep alive in different kinds of environments, so it is a kind of long-lived tree. According to Guinness World Records, an over 5,000-year-old ginkgo tree in Fuquan, Guizhou Province, is the oldest one on the earth.
The tree is also well-known for the shape of its leaves. They're like fans. In spring, the green leaves make sounds when blown by the wind. In autumn, the ginkgo leaves turn beautiful golden yellow. When late autumn comes, the leaves fall from the tree, like butterflies dancing in the sun.
Besides its beauty, the ginkgo tree has important value. It is good for the environment keeping the air clean. Also, the leaves and seeds (种子) of the ginkgo tree have medicinal value and have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. What's more, the ginkgo tree provides cool living areas for different kinds of wildlife.
Sadly, the ginkgo tree is in danger for several reasons. As cities develop, many ginkgo trees are cut down or losing their living land. And pollution increases and leaves a bad influence on the growth of these trees.
46. The ginkgo tree is called “the panda of the plant world” because ___________. (不超过8词)
47. In late autumn, the fallen ginkgo leaves look like ___________. (不超过6词)

Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep ocean. Since 1969. a total of 12 people have walked on the moon, but only three have dived (潜水) to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. As we all know, it’s very challenging to explore Qomolangma, the Sahara Desert, and the Amazon Rainforest. However, the Mariana Trench’s conditions and depth of about 11, 000 meters make it the most difficult to explore. Even more shocking-Although the ocean covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored.
Historically, people explored the ocean just to find ways to travel around the world or to start new trades. Also, to early people, the ocean was a scary place, full of dangerous creatures. They thought that, the deep ocean was dark and lifeless. Furthermore, cold temperatures and huge water pressure prevented ocean exploration, too. Diving into the Mariana Trench, for example, would make you feel like having 50 jumbo jets (巨型喷气式飞机) pressing down on you.
However, the ocean influences everyone in lots of things, from the air we breathe, the food we cat, transportation, medicine, to weather and climate. And the deep ocean holds a huge amount of oil, gas and so on. Therefore, ocean exploration has always been a big dream of humans in modern times.
In recent years, thanks to new technology like improved submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras, humans have been able to explore the deeper sea. On November 17th, 2024, China made a huge breakthrough in deep-sea exploration with its “Mengxiang” ship. With the world’s top drilling system (钻探系统), this amazing ship can reach up to 11, 000 meters below the sea surface, allowing scientists to study and learn more about the earth.
The “Mengxiang” ship is the pride of our nation, pushing the limits of what we know and can achieve. Let’s see how much further China can go in ocean exploration in the future!
26. Which picture may best show the Mariana Trench?
A. B. C. D.
27. What BIG question does Paragraph 2 focus on?
A. What does a jumbo jet look like? B. When did ocean exploration begin?
C. How is space different from the ocean? D. Why is so much of the ocean unexplored?
28. The ocean is important because _________.
A. it brings humans a lot of challenges B. it provides humans with necessary things
C. it influences every field in our daily life D. it covers a quarter of the Earth’s surface
29. According to the passage, the “Mengxiang” ship _________.
a. makes the whole world proud b. carries the Chinese dream
c. can explore outer spaced. shows China’s great power
A. a, c B. b, c C. b, d D. a, d
30. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s ocean exploration?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Uncertain.
【答案】26. B 27. D 28. C 29. C 30. A

阅读短文, 用英文填空或回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。
Perhaps one of the trees with “funny” leaves you first learned about in primary school is the ginkgo tree (银杏树). As one of the oldest kinds of trees still alive, the ginkgo is unique (独特的) in many ways.
The ginkgo tree, also known as the maidenhair tree, has a history of 345 million years in China. That is why it is also called “the panda of the plant world”. The ginkgo tree can keep alive in different kinds of environments, so it is a kind of long-lived tree. According to Guinness World Records, an over 5,000-year-old ginkgo tree in Fuquan, Guizhou Province, is the oldest one on the earth.
The tree is also well-known for the shape of its leaves. They're like fans. In spring, the green leaves make sounds when blown by the wind. In autumn, the ginkgo leaves turn beautiful golden yellow. When late autumn comes, the leaves fall from the tree, like butterflies dancing in the sun.
Besides its beauty, the ginkgo tree has important value. It is good for the environment keeping the air clean. Also, the leaves and seeds (种子) of the ginkgo tree have medicinal value and have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. What's more, the ginkgo tree provides cool living areas for different kinds of wildlife.
Sadly, the ginkgo tree is in danger for several reasons. As cities develop, many ginkgo trees are cut down or losing their living land. And pollution increases and leaves a bad influence on the growth of these trees.
46. The ginkgo tree is called “the panda of the plant world” because ___________. (不超过8词)
47. In late autumn, the fallen ginkgo leaves look like ___________. (不超过6词)
