B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了17岁女孩Tejasvi Manoj为保护老年人免受网络诈骗，创建防骗网站并不断改进，最终荣获《时代》杂志2025年度儿童的故事。 【16题详解】 句意：她因为出色的工作获得该奖项，这项工作是保护老年人远离网络诈骗。 根据后文“teach the elderly how to avoid online scams”的反诈主题，protecting“保护”贴合守护老人免受诈骗侵害的文意。preparing“准备”、providing“提供”均不符合反诈的核心动作。 【17题详解】 句意：她的父母都是IT工程师，父母鼓励她在幼年时期开始学习编程。 take up coding为固定搭配，意为开始从事、学习编程，take up“开始从事”符合语境。give up“放弃”、make up“编造”均无法匹配学习编程的语义。 【18题详解】 句意：意识到老年人很容易在网络上陷入麻烦，她决定行动起来。 老人险些遭遇电信诈骗的经历，说明老年人上网受骗门槛很低，easily“容易地”对应老人易被诈骗的特点。greatly“极大地”、finally“最终”均不符合老人反诈弱势的描述。 【19题详解】 句意：网站开设简单清晰的课程，教老年人如何避开网络诈骗。 反诈课程的目标就是躲开骗局，avoid“避开”契合反诈的目的。organize“组织”、control“控制”均和防范诈骗无关。 【20题详解】 句意：然而这份工作开展并不轻松。 前文讲述网站顺利建成，后文描述老人抵触使用技术产品，前后语义构成转折，However“然而”可以体现转折逻辑。Therefore“因此”表因果、Besides“此外”表递进，均不符合上下文逻辑。 【21题详解】 句意：起初，部分老年人认为这项技术很有挑战性，拒绝使用网站。 老年人对智能手机、网站操作接受度偏低，老年群体操作互联网工具会感到困难，challenging“有挑战性的”符合老人的使用感受。interesting“有趣的”、amazing“令人惊奇的”均和老人拒绝使用的行为矛盾。 【22题详解】 句意：为了让网站更加亲民好用，Tejasvi耐心听取老人的建议并且持续优化网站。 优化网站需要收集用户的意见，suggestions“建议”对应老人给出的使用意见。inspirations“灵感”、introductions“介绍”均不符合迭代网站的动作。 【23题详解】 句意：在公开宣讲项目之前，她担心不会有听众到场。 根据“no listeners would come”，公开演讲前期会产生担忧情绪，worried“担忧的”贴合紧张的心理。excited“兴奋的”、shocked“震惊的”均和演讲前忐忑的心情不符。 【24题详解】 句意：她的努力已经帮助了数千位老年人。 项目落地、持续优化、开展宣讲都是她付出的行动，effort“努力”对应她为反诈公益项目投入的精力。spirit“精神”、doubt“怀疑”均无法对应帮扶老人的实际付出。 【25题详解】 句意：我感到十分开心，因为我能够实实在在改变人们的生活。 后半句是前半句开心的原因，because“因为”用来引导原因状语从句。though“虽然”表让步、unless“除非”表条件，均不符合上下文的因果逻辑。 Ⅳ.阅读理解（共两节） 第一节 阅读以下A、B、C、D四篇短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。（每小题2分，满分40分） A Lexi jumped off the bus and hurried inside her house. “Mom?” she asked nervously, “Did you hear about the hurricane hitting the coast? It was the talk of everyone at school today.” “Yes, I’ve been keeping an eye on the news,” said her mom. “Weathermen were calling it the worst storm ever, which sounded very scary.” That evening, Lexi watched the news with her parents and little brother. She was relieved (安心的) that it wasn’t expected to reach their town. They would be fine. However, something unexpected happened the next morning. As Lexi ran downstairs, her mom met her in the living room. On the TV was a picture of the local train station flooded with water. “Lexi, you and your brother are staying home today,” her mom said. “The storm from the hurricane is causing flooding.” “But I thought the hurricane wasn’t coming near us,” said Lexi. “It didn’t, but it filled rivers with water and the water is rushing into the town,” her mom replied. While her brother enjoyed the day off, Lexi grew worried. At lunch, their dad came home early and suggested the family should leave for higher ground right away. After packing some basic things, they hurried in the car with their dog. Along the way, they moved slowly with a huge line of cars travelling by the same road. When they made it to safety, Lexi finally started breathing normally again. She sat back and petted her dog, thinking, “Our home might be flooded, but we’re safe—that’s what matters most.” 26.

C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述Lexi得知海岸将有飓风，起初以为不会影响自家，结果飓风引发洪水涌入小镇，全家听从爸爸建议转移到高地避险，最后Lexi明白安全才是最重要的。 【26题详解】 根据原文“Did you hear about the hurricane hitting the coast? It was the talk of everyone at school today.” 可知，飓风这件事是学校里所有人都在讨论的，说明Lexi最早是在学校知道飓风消息。 【27题详解】 根据原文“the storm from the hurricane is causing flooding…it filled rivers with water and the water is rushing into the town” 可知，意料之外的问题不是飓风直接来袭，而是飓风带来的洪水涌入了小镇。 【28题详解】 根据原文“At lunch, their dad came home early and suggested the family should leave for higher ground right away.” 可知，是Lexi的爸爸提议全家立刻搬到地势更高、更安全的地方。 【29题详解】 情感变化：Worried（担忧）：刚放学紧张询问飓风，内心担心；Relieved（安心）：当晚看新闻得知飓风不会到小镇，放下心；Nervous（焦虑）：第二天发现洪水涌入小镇，开始发愁；Calm（平静）：抵达安全地带后恢复平常心。 对应选项：Worried→Relieved→Nervous→Calm，故选C。 【30题详解】 根据原文“Our home might be flooded, but we’re safe—that’s what matters most.”可知，Lexi心里想着家可能被淹，但人安全才是最重要的，对应“没有什么比安全更重要”。 B You are eating a piece of food. Suddenly, it gets stuck in your throat. Air cannot move in or out, so you cannot breathe. This dangerous situation is called choking. A choking person can die within a few minutes if no one acts to help. So, it is important to know what to do when someone is choking. If a choking person can cough forcefully… Let him or her keep coughing. Sometimes, a strong cough is enough to push out the object. If the person can’t cough forcefully… Call 120 at once. At the same time, you can try to help the person using the HEIMLICH MANEUVER. ·Step 1 Give five back blows. Stand behind the choking person and put one arm across the person’s chest to hold him or her. Help the person bend (弯曲) forward, so the upper body faces the ground. Use the bottom part of your hand to hit the person five times between the shoulder blades. ·Step 2 Give five abdominal thrusts (冲击). Stand with one foot in front of the other for balance. Put your arms around the person and help him or her bend forward a little. Make a fist with one hand and put it just above the person’s navel. Hold your fist with your other hand. Push hard and quickly in and up, as if you are trying to lift the person. Do this five times. ·Repeat the steps. Keep doing five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the object comes out or doctors arrive. 31. According to Paragraph 1, choking is a kind of ________.

A choking person can die within a few minutes if no one acts to help.”可知choking是危及生命的危险紧急状况。 【32题详解】 根据文中“If a choking person can cough forcefully…Let him or her keep coughing.”可知如果病人能用力咳嗽，就让他咳嗽即可，不用立刻急救或拨打120。 【33题详解】 根据原文“Stand behind the choking person and put one arm across the person’s chest to hold him or her.” “Help the person bend (弯曲) forward…Use the bottom part of your hand to…”可知施救人要站身后，是手掌根部拍打，用一只手臂扶住患者，患者要弯腰前倾， 【34题详解】 原文划线处意为一只手握拳放在肚脐上方，另一只手包住拳头，对应A图动作。 【35题详解】 全文讲解异物卡喉窒息的急救步骤，属于急救知识。 C Recently, Mo Yan, the 71-year-old Chinese Nobel Prize winner, has made headlines again because of his new book, Oh, People. The book is made up of 81 short stories. The shortest has only about 200 Chinese characters, and most stories take only five to ten minutes to finish. This gives readers an experience like watching short videos: The book allows readers to “scroll through it” like they scroll through short videos on their phones. The idea came from Mo’s own experience. “I love watching short videos like everyone else,” he said. “I try to limit (限制) myself to half an hour a day, but before I know it, three hours have passed.” This made him wonder: Could a book hold people’s attention in the same way? In Oh, People, Mo mixes together all kinds of stories, such as childhood memories and local folklore (民间传说). You never know what kind of story will come next. Oh, People is Mo’s first book in six years. It quickly became a bestseller. But not everyone is sure it’s a good thing: Some people worry that even China’s best writers are giving in to fragmented reading (碎片化阅读). Others argue that this form isn’t completely new—it goes back to the old Chinese note-style novel. Mo simply sees it as another way to write about life. Literature is not dead if it can keep changing. Nowadays, writers may need new ways to reach readers. Mo shows that short fiction can still make readers stop and think. 36. Oh, People is ________. A. a book about short videos B. a collection of short stories C. a book about mobile phones D. a collection of Chinese characters 37. The underlined words “scroll through it” are the closest in meaning to ________. A. read it quickly B. watch it carefully C. move it around D. turn it over 38. In Oh, People, Mo Yan holds readers’ attention by ________. A. sharing his own experience B. setting daily time limits C. mixing different story types D. introducing local folklore 39. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Writing process of the book. B. Different opinions on the book. C. Great success of the book. D. Literary tradition of the book. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Videos Replace Books B. Reading Loses Meaning C. Readers Stop Thinking D. Literature Meets Change 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本篇文章介绍了莫言时隔六年推出的新作《哦，父老乡亲》，这本书由81篇短篇故事组成，借鉴短视频的阅读模式，引发了文学界的多方讨论。 【36题详解】 根据原文第二段“The book is made up of 81 short stories.”可知，这本书是一部短篇小说合集。 【37题详解】 划线短语scroll through it对应后文刷手机短视频的动作，含义为快速翻阅、快速阅读。 【38题详解】 根据原文第三段“Mo mixes together all kinds of stories... You never know what kind of story will come next.”，莫言通过混搭不同类型的故事来抓住读者注意力。 【39题详解】 第四段介绍了这本书成为畅销书，但大众对此褒贬不一，有人担忧碎片化阅读，也有人认为该形式继承了中国古代笔记体小说，核心是不同人群对于这本书的观点。 【40题详解】 全文围绕莫言顺应时代变化创作短篇文学作品展开，核心主题是文学与时代变革的碰撞，最佳标题为Literature Meets Change。 D The northern lights, also called the aurora borealis, are one of the planet’s most amazing natural wonders. For ages, facing the freezing cold, explorers have traveled across the world, all to have a look at their beauty. But how does this magical light show actually happen? The picture on the right shows how it forms. The sun keeps sending out particles into space. When the particles travel towards the Earth, they meet Earth’s magnetic field. Acting like a protective cover, Earth’s magnetic field stops most particles from reaching the Earth. However, it is weaker at the North and South Poles. So some particles get in near the Poles and collide (撞击) with gases in the air. The collisions make the gases give off energy in the form of light. This light is the aurora. The colors of auroras depend on the type of gas and the height of the collisions. Green, the most common color, comes from oxygen (氧气) at medium heights (about 100~200 km). Red comes from oxygen higher up, but it is less common. Nitrogen (氮气) produces blue and purple, usually at lower heights. In the past, auroras were seen as mysteries. Today, with modern technology, scientists can even predict when they will appear. Studying auroras helps scientists learn about Earth’s magnetic field and solar activity. It also helps protect satellites in space. The aurora is more than just a beautiful sight—it is a connection between Earth and the Sun, showing the amazing beauty of nature. 41. The aurora borealis is a kind of ________. A. extreme weather B. natural light C. scientific exploration D. magic trick 42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The sun. B. The gas in the air. C. The particle. D. Earth’s magnetic field. 43. Which of the following shows how the aurora forms? ① Some particles get in near the poles. ② Particles hit gases and the gases give off energy. ③ Earth’s magnetic field stops most particles. ④ The sun keeps sending out particles into space. A. ④→②→①→③ B. ④→②→③→① C. ④→③→①→② D. ④→①→②→③ 44. When particles collide with oxygen at a height of about 300 km, ________ auroras will probably appear. A. red B. green C. blue D. purple 45. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To describe the influence of the sun on the earth. B. To explain how ancient people discovered auroras. C. To show the scientific importance of studying auroras. D. To tell readers how to predict the appearance of auroras. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，解释了极光（北极光）的形成原理、颜色成因以及研究极光的科学意义。 【41题详解】 第一段提到“The northern lights, also called the aurora borealis, are one of the planet’s most amazing natural wonders.”，因此极光是一种自然光。 【42题详解】 第二段提到“Earth’s magnetic field stops most particles from reaching the Earth. However, it is weaker at the North and South Poles.”，地球的磁场阻止了大多数粒子到达地球，但在北极和南极地区磁场较弱，因此“it”指代地球的磁场。 【43题详解】 第二段提到“The sun keeps sending out particles into space...This light is the aurora.”，形成顺序为：④太阳不断向太空发射粒子→③地球磁场阻挡大部分粒子→①部分粒子在极地附近进入→②粒子撞击气体释放能量。 【44题详解】 第三段提到“Green, the most common color, comes from oxygen (氧气) at medium heights (about 100~200 km). Red comes from oxygen higher up”，300公里属于较高处，因此呈现红色。 【45题详解】 最后一段提到“Studying auroras helps scientists learn about Earth’s magnetic field and solar activity. It also helps protect satellites in space.”，因此本段主要说明研究极光的科学重要性。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（每小题1分，满分5分） E Social media is like a bridge, connecting us with people around the world.

These ordinary daily moments are the chances to better understand different cultures.”强调分享简单真实的小事，C选项“Don’t pretend to have a perfect life.”，意思是要分享真实的生活，与下文相符。 【48题详解】 空后“We should respect cultural differences and be open-minded.”强调要尊重文化差异，A选项“Respect each other’s culture.”符合该段主旨。 【49题详解】 本段“There is no body language in online chats.

A: ________________________________________ when you are free? B: I usually do calligraphy to relax myself. 【答案】 What do you do 【解析】 【详解】答句“我通常写书法来放松自己”，陈述的是具体做的事情，因此对“做什么”提问用特殊疑问词What，答语中包含频率副词usually，且描述的是习惯性动作，故句子时态为一般现在时。特殊疑问句的结构为“特殊疑问词+助动词+主语+谓语动词”。主语是you，助动词用do，表示“做”的实义动词也用do。故填What do you do。 52. A: You don’t look well. ________________________________________? B: I feel so cold, and I don’t have much energy. 【答案】 What’s wrong with you/What’s the matter with you 【解析】 【详解】答句为“我感觉很冷，浑身没有力气”，描述了身体不适的症状。再结合A所说前半句“你看起来不太好”，可知问句是关心B的身体状况，可用What’s wrong with you/What’s the matter with you提问。 53. A: My parents and I argue a lot. What should I do? B: You could ________________________________________. 【答案】 talk to them 【解析】 【详解】根据A的问句“My parents and I argue a lot. What should I do?”可知，孩子和父母频繁争吵，寻求解决办法，could为情态动词，后接动词原形，talk to them表示和父母沟通，符合解决家庭矛盾的建议。 54. A: Many houses fell down in the earthquake. B: ________________________________________ to hear that. 【答案】 I’m sorry 【解析】 【详解】A提到许多房屋在地震中倒塌了，这是一个令人难过的坏消息。当听到不幸或坏消息时，应表示同情和遗憾，常用句型为“I’m sorry to hear that.”，故填I’m sorry。 55. A: ________________________________ The Secret Garden yet, Helen? B: No, I’ve just borrowed it and I plan to read it this weekend. 【答案】 Have you read 【解析】 【详解】答句表明自己刚借来这本书并计划这周末阅读，因此问句是询问对方是否已经读过《秘密花园》这本书。答句“No, I’ve just borrowed it”为否定回答，且为现在完成时，主语为第一人称I，因此问句为以have开头的一般疑问句，主语变为第二人称you（称呼Helen），动词“读”（read）的过去分词形式仍是read。故Have you read符合语境。 Ⅵ.看图写话（每小题2分，满分10分） 根据所给图片和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. like _____________________________________________________________ 57. have, yesterday _____________________________________________________________ 58. high, world _____________________________________________________________ 59. for two years _____________________________________________________________ 60. while _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. He/The boy likes drawing/painting. 57. He/The boy had a toothache yesterday. 58. Qomolangma is the highest mountain in the world. 59. Mary has taught music for two years./Mary has been a music teacher for two years. 60. His father is/was cooking while he is/was doing his homework. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片和提示词“like”可知，此处表达为“这个男孩喜欢画画”。本句描述一般性喜好，用一般现在时，主语He/The boy是第三人称单数，谓语动词用likes，like doing sth.表示“喜欢做某事”，draw/paint表示“画画”。 【57题详解】 根据图片和提示词“have, yesterday”可知，此处表达为“这个男孩昨天牙疼了”。主语为He/The boy，yesterday为一般过去时的标志，have a toothache表示“牙疼”，动词have用过去式had。 【58题详解】 根据图片和提示词“high, world”可知，此处表达为“珠穆朗玛峰是世界上最高的山”。本句表示客观事实，用一般现在时，Qomolangma“珠穆朗玛峰”作主语。the highest mountain in the world为固定表达，表示“世界最高的山”，用形容词最高级，be动词用is。 【59题详解】 根据图片和提示词“for two years”可知，此处表达为“玛丽教音乐/当音乐老师两年了”。Mary为主语，for two years为现在完成时的标志位于句末，表示动作持续了一段时间，teach music表示“教音乐”，完成时表达为has taught music；也可用be a music teacher表示“当音乐老师”，现在完成时表达为has been a music teacher。 【60题详解】 根据图片和提示词“while”可知，此处表达为“他的爸爸在做饭时，他在做作业”。while引导时间状语从句，表示两个动作同时进行，主从句都用进行时，结构为be+现在分词。主语His father是第三人称单数，用was/is cooking；时间状语从句主语he是第三人称单数，用was/is doing his homework表示“在做家庭作业”，引导词用while。本句用现在进行时或过去进行时均可。 Ⅶ.短文填词（每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的单词，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 Chopsticks have a history of over 5,000 years.

It was the talk of everyone at school today.” “Yes, I’ve been keeping an eye on the news,” said her mom. “Weathermen were calling it the worst storm ever, which sounded very scary.” That evening, Lexi watched the news with her parents and little brother. She was relieved (安心的) that it wasn’t expected to reach their town. They would be fine. However, something unexpected happened the next morning. As Lexi ran downstairs, her mom met her in the living room. On the TV was a picture of the local train station flooded with water. “Lexi, you and your brother are staying home today,” her mom said. “The storm from the hurricane is causing flooding.” “But I thought the hurricane wasn’t coming near us,” said Lexi. “It didn’t, but it filled rivers with water and the water is rushing into the town,” her mom replied. While her brother enjoyed the day off, Lexi grew worried. At lunch, their dad came home early and suggested the family should leave for higher ground right away. After packing some basic things, they hurried in the car with their dog. Along the way, they moved slowly with a huge line of cars travelling by the same road. When they made it to safety, Lexi finally started breathing normally again. She sat back and petted her dog, thinking, “Our home might be flooded, but we’re safe—that’s what matters most.” 26.

Life is always full of the unexpected. B. Nothing is more important than safety. C. Natural disasters are impossible to stop. D. Weather reports can be wrong sometimes. B You are eating a piece of food. Suddenly, it gets stuck in your throat. Air cannot move in or out, so you cannot breathe. This dangerous situation is called choking. A choking person can die within a few minutes if no one acts to help. So, it is important to know what to do when someone is choking. If a choking person can cough forcefully… Let him or her keep coughing. Sometimes, a strong cough is enough to push out the object. If the person can’t cough forcefully… Call 120 at once. At the same time, you can try to help the person using the HEIMLICH MANEUVER. ·Step 1 Give five back blows. Stand behind the choking person and put one arm across the person’s chest to hold him or her. Help the person bend (弯曲) forward, so the upper body faces the ground. Use the bottom part of your hand to hit the person five times between the shoulder blades. ·Step 2 Give five abdominal thrusts (冲击). Stand with one foot in front of the other for balance. Put your arms around the person and help him or her bend forward a little. Make a fist with one hand and put it just above the person’s navel. Hold your fist with your other hand. Push hard and quickly in and up, as if you are trying to lift the person. Do this five times. ·Repeat the steps. Keep doing five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the object comes out or doctors arrive. 31. According to Paragraph 1, choking is a kind of ________. A. emergency B. allergy C. medicine D. treatment 32. What should you do if a choking person can cough forcefully? A. Call 120 at once. B. Use the Heimlich maneuver. C. Let the person cough. D.

In which section of a school newspaper can we read the passage? A. Culture Corner. B. First Aid. C. Fun Science. D. Art World. C Recently, Mo Yan, the 71-year-old Chinese Nobel Prize winner, has made headlines again because of his new book, Oh, People. The book is made up of 81 short stories. The shortest has only about 200 Chinese characters, and most stories take only five to ten minutes to finish. This gives readers an experience like watching short videos: The book allows readers to “scroll through it” like they scroll through short videos on their phones. The idea came from Mo’s own experience. “I love watching short videos like everyone else,” he said. “I try to limit (限制) myself to half an hour a day, but before I know it, three hours have passed.” This made him wonder: Could a book hold people’s attention in the same way? In Oh, People, Mo mixes together all kinds of stories, such as childhood memories and local folklore (民间传说). You never know what kind of story will come next. Oh, People is Mo’s first book in six years. It quickly became a bestseller. But not everyone is sure it’s a good thing: Some people worry that even China’s best writers are giving in to fragmented reading (碎片化阅读). Others argue that this form isn’t completely new—it goes back to the old Chinese note-style novel. Mo simply sees it as another way to write about life. Literature is not dead if it can keep changing. Nowadays, writers may need new ways to reach readers. Mo shows that short fiction can still make readers stop and think. 36. Oh, People is ________. A. a book about short videos B. a collection of short stories C. a book about mobile phones D. a collection of Chinese characters 37. The underlined words “scroll through it” are the closest in meaning to ________. A. read it quickly B. watch it carefully C. move it around D. turn it over 38. In Oh, People, Mo Yan holds readers’ attention by ________. A. sharing his own experience B. setting daily time limits C. mixing different story types D. introducing local folklore 39. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Writing process of the book. B. Different opinions on the book. C. Great success of the book. D. Literary tradition of the book. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Videos Replace Books B. Reading Loses Meaning C. Readers Stop Thinking D. Literature Meets Change D The northern lights, also called the aurora borealis, are one of the planet’s most amazing natural wonders. For ages, facing the freezing cold, explorers have traveled across the world, all to have a look at their beauty. But how does this magical light show actually happen? The picture on the right shows how it forms. The sun keeps sending out particles into space. When the particles travel towards the Earth, they meet Earth’s magnetic field. Acting like a protective cover, Earth’s magnetic field stops most particles from reaching the Earth. However, it is weaker at the North and South Poles. So some particles get in near the Poles and collide (撞击) with gases in the air. The collisions make the gases give off energy in the form of light. This light is the aurora. The colors of auroras depend on the type of gas and the height of the collisions. Green, the most common color, comes from oxygen (氧气) at medium heights (about 100~200 km). Red comes from oxygen higher up, but it is less common. Nitrogen (氮气) produces blue and purple, usually at lower heights. In the past, auroras were seen as mysteries. Today, with modern technology, scientists can even predict when they will appear. Studying auroras helps scientists learn about Earth’s magnetic field and solar activity. It also helps protect satellites in space. The aurora is more than just a beautiful sight—it is a connection between Earth and the Sun, showing the amazing beauty of nature. 41. The aurora borealis is a kind of ________. A. extreme weather B. natural light C. scientific exploration D. magic trick 42. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The sun. B. The gas in the air. C. The particle. D. Earth’s magnetic field. 43. Which of the following shows how the aurora forms? ① Some particles get in near the poles. ② Particles hit gases and the gases give off energy. ③ Earth’s magnetic field stops most particles. ④ The sun keeps sending out particles into space. A. ④→②→①→③ B. ④→②→③→① C. ④→③→①→② D. ④→①→②→③ 44. When particles collide with oxygen at a height of about 300 km, ________ auroras will probably appear. A. red B. green C. blue D. purple 45. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To describe the influence of the sun on the earth. B. To explain how ancient people discovered auroras. C. To show the scientific importance of studying auroras. D. To tell readers how to predict the appearance of auroras. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（每小题1分，满分5分） E Social media is like a bridge, connecting us with people around the world.
