Where can we probably read the text? A. On a community website. B. In a city guidebook. C. On a school notice board. D. In a local newspaper. B ①That future is almost here. “I think it’s going to happen in ten years… and hopefully much, much faster,” said Sebastian Thrun in 2021. At that time, his young company Kitty Hawk Corporation was working on developing a flying car known as eVTOL, or Electronic Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicle (车辆). ②Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. Not only is it fun to fly, but “there would never be traffic again, because the sky is very, very large,” says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars. “We go much faster, we go in a straight line, we fly on less energy,” he says. ③So far, though, flying cars haven’t taken off as a product. Will their day come? There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won’t be able to afford one. So, some companies are developing them as air taxis that people could pay to ride. The main problem with flying cars is safety. Accidents in the air are dangerous to both the passengers and anyone on the ground beneath. To make eVTOLs safer, many developers are aiming to make them self-flying—no human pilot required. ④Another problem is space. Most aircraft need long runways to take off and land. Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter solves this problem. But eVTOLs still need special spaces, called vertiports, for take-off and landing. Finding places to put these could be tricky, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could go on top of buildings. ⑤What do you think? Would you enjoy riding to school or to visit a friend in a self-flying taxi? Are flying cars a good idea, or should we find other ways to get around in the near future? 21. How does the writer lead into the topic? A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples. C. By showing opinions. D. By sharing experiences. 22. Which of the following are the challenges for the development of flying cars? ①high price ②take-off and landing space ③air traffic jam ④safety A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 23. Why are some companies developing flying cars as air taxis? A. To solve safety problems. B. To make them cheaper. C. To provide rides for people. D. To compete with common cars. 24. What is the possible structure of the passage? （①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, ...） A. B. C. D. 25. What is probably the best title of the passage? A. Is a Flying Car Your Dream Car? B. Will Future Flying Cars Need Drivers? C. The Exciting World of Electric Taxis D. The History of Air Travel Technologies C In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize. It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize. Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family who won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money. Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives. Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment. People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness. 26. Why was William Post poor again? A. Because he gave away his money. B. Because he spent his money carelessly. C. Because he lost all his money. D. Because his friends borrowed all his money. 27. What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage? A. They won the lotteries in the same year. B. They came from the same country. C. They spent their money quickly and carelessly. D. They were poor before winning the lotteries. 28. What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Funny. B. Expensive. C. Surprising. D. Lucky. 29. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Reasonable spending makes people happy. B. People’s lives depend on lottery prizes. C. Big money brings lasting happiness. D. The basic needs of people are easily satisfied. 30. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To encourage readers to make big money. B. To show his opinion about money and happiness. C. To advise people to stay away from lotteries. D. To share some success stories about finding happiness. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Progress means the act of going forward. ____31____ By setting and actively working towards our goals (目标), we can make progress in our life.

His grandfather, who worked hard on their farm, often said, “Every part of nature has a purpose.” Tom listened, but he didn’t really understand. One afternoon, they prepared soil for tomatoes. Tom saw dry leaves on the ground and started to throw them away. Grandpa stopped him. “These leaves are important,” he said. “When they break down, they become natural fertilizer (肥料) for the soil. They feed earthworms (蚯蚓) and make plants strong.” Grandpa showed Tom how to mix the leaves into the soil. Tom also learned to put waste into different groups—fruit peels were used to make fertilizer for the plants, and stones were collected to build small paths in the garden. When the sun goes down, Grandpa pointed to a broken rainwater barrel (桶). “Years ago, villagers wasted water,” he said. “During a long dry period with no rain, the crops died because there was no water.” Now, they fixed the barrel to collect rainwater for washing tools and watering plants. Tom said, “We must save every drop!” The next day, Tom noticed solar panels (太阳能板) on the roof. Grandpa explained, “Sunlight gives us free energy. It powers our lights and charges our phones.” That night, Tom wrote in his diary, “True wealth isn’t about owning many things. It’s about caring for nature. What we give to the earth, it gives back to us.” 46. The story mainly tells us to live with nature by ______ it.（不超过2词） 47. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.
