But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. Over the years, Earl would recall (回想) about the car. “It was blue with white stripes (条纹) down across the hood and down the back, two doors of course. It was the one with a wing window on the side,” he told NBC 5. “I used to tease Jared quite a bit. ‘I used to have a car like that one over there,’ and I said. ‘Yeah, I let it go for diaper (尿布) money. You needed diapers and so that’s what happened to that car,’” he said. But when he mentioned it to his son Jared, the younger Guynes thought his dad was just making up a wild story. Over time, Jared came to understand that his dad’s story was more than just a nostalgic (怀旧的) tale—it was the truth. After a great business year in 2021, Jared experienced on a journey to find the very car his dad had sold decades earlier. After a year-long nationwide search, he located a matching 1967 Camaro just 70 miles away. However, the car needed totally repair. For two years, Jared poured his heart into rebuilding the car in secret. Finally, on Earl’s 65th brthday, Jared arranged an unforgettable presentation with the help of a magician. When the repaired Camaro came into view, Earl was wild with emotion. “I want my dad to know how much I love him, how much he means to me, and how unbelievable he was as a father,” Jared shared. “And the greatest way to do that was to bring back the Camaro. It was always the Camaro.” 4. Why did Earl sell his Camaro? A. To buy a new house. B. To start a business. C. To exchange for another car. D. To support his family. 5. What does the underlined word “tease” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Remind. B. Watch over. C. Joke with. D. Annoy. 6. What did Jared do after he found the matching Camaro? A. He asked a magician to repair it. B. He sold it immediately. C. He showed it to his father directly. D. He spent two years rebuilding it. 7. What is that best title for the text? A. The Return of the Camaro B. A Father’s Love for His Son C. A Son’s Search for His Dream D. The Story of Repairing a Valuable Car 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Earl Guynes年轻时为了家庭卖掉了心爱的雪佛兰Camaro，多年后他的儿子Jared历经艰辛找回并修复了同一款车，作为生日礼物送给父亲，以此表达对父亲的爱与感激。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. (但在22岁时，家里有两个小孩，Earl做出了一个无私的决定，卖掉他心爱的Camaro来养家糊口)”可知，Earl卖掉Camaro是为了养家。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段““I used to tease Jared quite a bit. ‘I used to have a car like that one over there,’ and I said. ‘Yeah, I let it go for diaper (尿布) money. You needed diapers and so that’s what happened to that car,’” he said. (他说：“我过去常常跟贾里德tease。‘我以前有一辆车，就像那边那辆一样，’我说，‘是啊，我为了赚买尿布的钱把它卖了。你当时需要尿布，所以那辆车就落得那样的下场了。’”)”可知，Earl总是和Jared说自己曾有一辆那样的车，然后还说因为Jared需要尿布所以把车卖了，这是一种类似开玩笑的表达，所以“tease”与“Joke with”意思相近，在这里是“开玩笑”的意思。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After a year-long nationwide search, he located a matching 1967 Camaro just 70 miles away. However, the car needed totally repair. (经过一年的全国搜索，他在70英里外找到了一辆匹配的1967年Camaro。然而，这辆车需要彻底修理)”和第五段“For two years, Jared poured his heart into rebuilding the car in secret.

But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. (对厄尔・盖恩斯而言，1967年款的雪佛兰科迈罗绝不仅仅是一辆车——它是他青春与梦想的象征。然而，22岁的厄尔家中已有两个年幼的孩子，他做出了一个无私的决定：卖掉自己心爱的科迈罗，以养家糊口)”以及全文内容可知，文章开头讲述Earl为了养家卖掉了心爱的Camaro，多年后儿子Jared寻找并修复了这辆车，在父亲生日时送回，全文围绕这辆Camaro的流失与回归展开以及它承载的父子情感，因此，A选项“Camaro的回归”总领全文，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 C Electronic devices like smartphones and laptops have become important in modern life, but their production and treatment come with significant environmental costs. E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream globally, with millions of tons thrown yearly. Many consumers are unaware that harmful treatment leads to chemicals like lead (铅) and mercury (水银) polluting soil and water. The environmental impact begins long before treatment. Mining raw materials for electronics causes water pollution. Production consumes vast energy, increasing carbon emissions. When devices are thrown improperly, they release dangerous chemicals, harming ecosystems and human health. Recycling offers a solution by recovering valuable metals (gold, silver) and reducing the need for new mining. However, only a small part of e-waste is properly recycled. Governments and producers must improve recycling facilities and adopt “Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)” policies, ensuring companies manage their products’ end-of-life impacts. Consumers also play a key role in choosing energy-efficient devices, repairing and recycling through typical programs instead of replacing electronics. Proper practices like producers’ take-back programs can lengthen products’ life. Public awareness campaigns are critical to drive positive changes. While no single solution can solve e-waste entirely, shared action—from policymakers, industries, and individuals — can significantly reduce its hidden costs. 8. Which aspect of e-waste causes environmental problems? A. Improper treatment. B. Large quantity. C. Wide range. D. Great demand. 9. What can be inferred about recycling e-waste? A. Governments ban e-waste. B. E-waste is recycled properly. C. Consumers prefer to replace devices. D. Recycling reduces raw materials’ use. 10. What does EPR require people to do? A. Produce cheaper devices. B. Recycle products after use. C. Increase product promotion. D. Use harmless production materials. 11. What is the purpose of this article? A. To describe devices’ history. B. To promote smartphone models. C. To criticize electronic producers. D. To explain and offer e-waste solutions. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了电子垃圾带来的环境问题，包括其产生的原因、造成的危害，以及解决电子垃圾问题的相关措施等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many consumers are unaware that harmful treatment leads to chemicals like lead (铅) and mercury (水银) polluting soil and water. (许多消费者没有意识到，有害的处理方式会导致铅、水银等化学物质污染土壤和水源)”可知，电子垃圾的不当处理会引发环境问题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Recycling offers a solution by recovering valuable metals (gold, silver) and reducing the need for new mining. (回收利用通过回收有价值的金属（金、银）并减少对新采矿的需求，提供了一种解决方案)”可知，回收电子垃圾可以减少对原材料的使用。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Governments and producers must improve recycling facilities and adopt “Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)” policies, ensuring companies manage their products’ end-of-life impacts. (政府和生产商必须改善回收设施，并采用“生产者延伸责任（EPR）”政策，确保企业对其产品的报废影响进行管理)”可知，EPR要求企业在产品使用后对其进行回收处理。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream globally, with millions of tons thrown yearly. Many consumers are unaware that harmful treatment leads to chemicals like lead (铅) and mercury (水银) polluting soil and water. (电子垃圾如今已成为全球增长最快的废物流，每年有数以百万吨计的电子垃圾被丢弃。许多消费者并未意识到，对电子垃圾的不当处理会导致铅、水银等化学物质污染土壤和水源)”并结合全文内容可知，文章首先阐述了电子垃圾带来的环境成本和危害，包括从原材料开采到处理过程中的各种环境问题，随后提出了回收利用、政府和生产者采取措施、消费者参与等解决办法，因此，D选项“解释电子垃圾问题并提供解决方案。”是本文写作目的。故选D项。 D Researchers in China have developed a robot that recognizes different plant species at various stages of growth by “touching” their leaves with an electrode (电极). The robot can measure characters such as surface feature and water content that cannot be determined using existing visual approaches, according to the study. The robot recognized ten different plant species with an average accuracy (准确性) of 97.7% and recognized leaves of the flowering plant with 100% accuracy at various growth stages. Eventually, large-scale farmers and agricultural researchers could use the robot to watch the health and growth of crops and to make specific decisions about how much water and fertilizer (肥料) to give their plants and how to approach pest control, says Zhongqian Song, an author of the study. “It could reform crop management and ecosystem studies and enable early disease test, which is important for plant health and food safety,” he says. Rather than making physical contact with a plant, existing equipment get more limited information using visual approaches, which are weak to factors such as lighting conditions, changes in the weather, or background interference (干预). To deal with these limitations, Song and his workmates developed a robot that “touches” plants using a mechanism inspired by human skin, with structures working together in a layered way to gain information through touch. While the robot shows “huge and unexpected” possible applications in fields, ranging from precision agriculture to ecological studies to plant disease monitor, it has several weaknesses that have yet to be solved, says Song. For example, the equipment is not yet useful enough to always recognize types of plants with difficult structures, for example, needle-like leaves. This could be solved by improving the design of the robot’s electrode, he says. As a next step, the researchers plan to expand how many plants the robot can recognize by collecting data from a wider variety of species, enlarging the plant species database. The researchers also hope to further promote the equipment so that it can show results in real time, even without an external power source, says Song. 12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To offer readers some suggestions. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To provide some background information. D. To make a summary of the whole text. 13. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. The possible users of the robot. B. The working principle of the robot. C. The benefits of the robot in agriculture. D. The challenges the robot faces in application. 14. Which of the following may Zhongqian Song agree with? A. The robot can only recognize plants at a certain growth stage. B. The design of the robot’s electrode needs to be improved. C. The robot has already solved all the problems in plant disease monitor. D. The robot can’t be used in ecological studies due to its weaknesses. 15. What can be known about the robot from the text? A. The accuracy of the robot in recognizing plants will keep increasing. B. The robot will mainly be used in developed countries in the future. C. The new robot will replace all existing agricultural equipment. D. The research on the robot has come to an end. 【答案】12.

Tom was a diligent student who always took his studies seriously, while John was the opposite. John rarely studied and often relied on others to help him out. He would constantly ask Tom for answers during exams or copy his homework, and Tom had always found excuses to avoid helping him cheat. One day, as the final exam was approaching, John nervously turned to Tom and said, “Hey, Tom, you know I’m not good at studying. Could you help me cheat during the exam? I promise I’ll make it up to you.” Tom was taken aback. He had always believed in the importance of honesty and hard work. He knew that cheating was wrong, but he also didn’t want to hurt John’s feelings. After a moment of hesitation, Tom replied, “John, I understand that the final exam can be stressful, but cheating is not the right way to deal with it. We should be honest and work hard to earn our grades.” John looked disappointed but didn’t say anything. The day of the exam arrived, and as expected, John struggled. He looked at Tom’s desk several times, hoping for a glimpse (瞥见) of the answers, but Tom was focused on his own paper, determined to do his best. Tom could sense John’s frustration, but he knew he had to stay true to his principles. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the exam progressed, John became more and more anxious. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, John began to take his studies more seriously. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As the exam progressed, John became more and more anxious. He kept tapping his pencil nervously and glancing around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone else’s answers. At one point, he even tried to signal Tom again, but Tom just shook his head slightly. John’s frustration grew, and he felt a knot in his stomach. He realized that he had put himself in this position by not studying, and he couldn’t blame anyone else for it. When the exam finally ended, John sighed heavily and sat in his chair. He knew he had failed, but he also knew that cheating wouldn’t make him any smarter. From that day on, John began to take his studies more seriously. He approached Tom after school and asked for help, promising to put in the effort. Tom agreed, and they started studying together every evening. John slowly improved as he began to understand the material better. He even attended extra tutoring sessions and spent more time reviewing his notes. By the time the next exam came around, John was much more confident. He managed to pass with a good grade, and he felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. He realized that hard work and honesty were far more rewarding than cheating. Tom was proud of John’s progress, and their friendship grew stronger as they continued to support each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文以考试与成长为线索展开，讲述了Tom拒绝帮John考试作弊后，John经历考试失利的焦虑、反思，最终转变态度，与Tom一起努力学习，收获进步，两人友谊也更深厚的故事 ，展现诚信与努力对成长的意义。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着考试推进，John变得越来越焦虑。”可知，第一段可写John考试时因没复习而焦虑想作弊，却因Tom拒绝而失败，最终陷入懊悔的状态。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，John开始更认真对待学习。”可知，第二段可写John主动找Tom求助，两人一起学习，John进步并收获好成绩，友谊升温的过程。 2. 续写线索：John考试焦虑——John作弊失败——John反思改变——John主动找Tom求助——共同进步——友谊升温 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①瞥见：catch a glimpse of/catch sight of ②结束：end/come to an end ③求助：ask for help/turn to sb. for help 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/tensely ②沮丧：frustration/depression 【点睛】[高分句型1].

But at 22, with two little ones at home, Earl made a selfless decision to sell his beloved Camaro to provide for his family. Over the years, Earl would recall (回想) about the car. “It was blue with white stripes (条纹) down across the hood and down the back, two doors of course. It was the one with a wing window on the side,” he told NBC 5. “I used to tease Jared quite a bit. ‘I used to have a car like that one over there,’ and I said. ‘Yeah, I let it go for diaper (尿布) money. You needed diapers and so that’s what happened to that car,’” he said. But when he mentioned it to his son Jared, the younger Guynes thought his dad was just making up a wild story. Over time, Jared came to understand that his dad’s story was more than just a nostalgic (怀旧的) tale—it was the truth. After a great business year in 2021, Jared experienced on a journey to find the very car his dad had sold decades earlier. After a year-long nationwide search, he located a matching 1967 Camaro just 70 miles away. However, the car needed totally repair. For two years, Jared poured his heart into rebuilding the car in secret. Finally, on Earl’s 65th brthday, Jared arranged an unforgettable presentation with the help of a magician. When the repaired Camaro came into view, Earl was wild with emotion. “I want my dad to know how much I love him, how much he means to me, and how unbelievable he was as a father,” Jared shared. “And the greatest way to do that was to bring back the Camaro. It was always the Camaro.” 4. Why did Earl sell his Camaro? A. To buy a new house. B. To start a business. C. To exchange for another car. D. To support his family. 5. What does the underlined word “tease” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Remind. B. Watch over. C. Joke with. D. Annoy. 6. What did Jared do after he found the matching Camaro? A. He asked a magician to repair it. B. He sold it immediately. C. He showed it to his father directly. D. He spent two years rebuilding it. 7. What is that best title for the text? A. The Return of the Camaro B. A Father’s Love for His Son C. A Son’s Search for His Dream D. The Story of Repairing a Valuable Car C Electronic devices like smartphones and laptops have become important in modern life, but their production and treatment come with significant environmental costs. E-waste is now the fastest-growing waste stream globally, with millions of tons thrown yearly. Many consumers are unaware that harmful treatment leads to chemicals like lead (铅) and mercury (水银) polluting soil and water. The environmental impact begins long before treatment. Mining raw materials for electronics causes water pollution. Production consumes vast energy, increasing carbon emissions. When devices are thrown improperly, they release dangerous chemicals, harming ecosystems and human health. Recycling offers a solution by recovering valuable metals (gold, silver) and reducing the need for new mining. However, only a small part of e-waste is properly recycled. Governments and producers must improve recycling facilities and adopt “Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)” policies, ensuring companies manage their products’ end-of-life impacts. Consumers also play a key role in choosing energy-efficient devices, repairing and recycling through typical programs instead of replacing electronics. Proper practices like producers’ take-back programs can lengthen products’ life. Public awareness campaigns are critical to drive positive changes. While no single solution can solve e-waste entirely, shared action—from policymakers, industries, and individuals — can significantly reduce its hidden costs. 8. Which aspect of e-waste causes environmental problems? A. Improper treatment. B. Large quantity. C. Wide range. D. Great demand. 9. What can be inferred about recycling e-waste? A. Governments ban e-waste. B. E-waste is recycled properly. C. Consumers prefer to replace devices. D. Recycling reduces raw materials’ use. 10. What does EPR require people to do? A. Produce cheaper devices. B. Recycle products after use. C. Increase product promotion. D. Use harmless production materials. 11. What is the purpose of this article? A. To describe devices’ history. B. To promote smartphone models. C. To criticize electronic producers. D. To explain and offer e-waste solutions. D Researchers in China have developed a robot that recognizes different plant species at various stages of growth by “touching” their leaves with an electrode (电极). The robot can measure characters such as surface feature and water content that cannot be determined using existing visual approaches, according to the study. The robot recognized ten different plant species with an average accuracy (准确性) of 97.7% and recognized leaves of the flowering plant with 100% accuracy at various growth stages. Eventually, large-scale farmers and agricultural researchers could use the robot to watch the health and growth of crops and to make specific decisions about how much water and fertilizer (肥料) to give their plants and how to approach pest control, says Zhongqian Song, an author of the study. “It could reform crop management and ecosystem studies and enable early disease test, which is important for plant health and food safety,” he says. Rather than making physical contact with a plant, existing equipment get more limited information using visual approaches, which are weak to factors such as lighting conditions, changes in the weather, or background interference (干预). To deal with these limitations, Song and his workmates developed a robot that “touches” plants using a mechanism inspired by human skin, with structures working together in a layered way to gain information through touch. While the robot shows “huge and unexpected” possible applications in fields, ranging from precision agriculture to ecological studies to plant disease monitor, it has several weaknesses that have yet to be solved, says Song. For example, the equipment is not yet useful enough to always recognize types of plants with difficult structures, for example, needle-like leaves. This could be solved by improving the design of the robot’s electrode, he says. As a next step, the researchers plan to expand how many plants the robot can recognize by collecting data from a wider variety of species, enlarging the plant species database. The researchers also hope to further promote the equipment so that it can show results in real time, even without an external power source, says Song. 12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A. To offer readers some suggestions. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To provide some background information. D. To make a summary of the whole text. 13. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on? A. The possible users of the robot. B. The working principle of the robot. C. The benefits of the robot in agriculture. D. The challenges the robot faces in application. 14. Which of the following may Zhongqian Song agree with? A. The robot can only recognize plants at a certain growth stage. B. The design of the robot’s electrode needs to be improved. C. The robot has already solved all the problems in plant disease monitor.

I promise I’ll make it up to you.” Tom was taken aback. He had always believed in the importance of honesty and hard work. He knew that cheating was wrong, but he also didn’t want to hurt John’s feelings. After a moment of hesitation, Tom replied, “John, I understand that the final exam can be stressful, but cheating is not the right way to deal with it. We should be honest and work hard to earn our grades.” John looked disappointed but didn’t say anything. The day of the exam arrived, and as expected, John struggled. He looked at Tom’s desk several times, hoping for a glimpse (瞥见) of the answers, but Tom was focused on his own paper, determined to do his best. Tom could sense John’s frustration, but he knew he had to stay true to his principles. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the exam progressed, John became more and more anxious. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, John began to take his studies more seriously. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
