【原文】Good afternoon, this is lunch time news.
A series of powerful tornadoes struck six American states over the weekend, killing at least 90 people, including workers in a candle factory in Mayfield, a Kentucky town, lakeside vacationers in Tennessee and residents in a nursing home in Arkansas.
Dozens of night-shift employees began to work in the candle factory in Mayfield when the terrible disaster happened. The workers sheltered in the bathroom area supposed to be the safest part of the building. But it may not have been of any use because the tornado was so big. Ten more people remain missing.
Judy Burton is a Mayfield local who spoke to the reporter about the storm this morning. She said that she was able to take shelter in the basement of her apartment building before the tornado hit. Local officials said the fire station was seriously damaged and most of the town’s police cars were destroyed. Many buildings were reduced to nothing. Burton was so worried about her old neighbor, Steve, as he was unable to escape with ruins around him.

Cindy, my dog, was six years old when my son Tony was born. And she was immediately very protective over him. We lived near a busy road. As my son was too young, we were super vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.
Cindy knew that our son wasn’t allowed to go through the front door without us so whenever Tony touched the front door handle, she would push him back. One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to “escape” through his bedroom window, and Cindy had to follow.
At 5 am, the police woke us knocking on the door. They said, “Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him.” They then repeated what the truck driver had said.
He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it. At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction. The dog was still barking, glancing(扫视) between the truck and the child. While the driver was braking(刹车), the dog ran out into the road, jumped at the child’s back and threw him out of the path of the truck. At the same time, the truck hit the dog and she was killed.
The driver said that he’d never believe what he saw unless it was with his own eyes. He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.”
That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.
24. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “vigilant”?
A. Careful. B. Desperate.
C. Upset. D. Confident.
25. What did the driver first see on the road?
A. An on-duty policeman.
B. A frightened dog.
C. A moving light.
D. A small child.
26. Which of the following best describes Cindy?
A Serious and fierce.
B. Brave and loyal.
C. Helpful and mild.
D. Quiet and cute.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Terrible Accident
B. A Dangerous Escape
C. A Barking Hero
D. A Careless Driver
【24~27题答案】
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的宠物狗因为担心小主人就跟着他从窗户爬了出去，最后为了救小主人牺牲的故事。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画横线单词的前面一句话“We lived near a busy road.”（我们住在一条繁忙的道路附近。）以及划横线的单词所在句子的后半句“for fear that he should go out of the front door”（怕他从前门出去）可推测，我们住在一条繁忙的马路附近，当我儿子还小时，我们非常小心，怕他从前面出去，所以vigilant的意思为“小心的，谨慎的”。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话“He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. ”（他告诉他们，他是在黑暗中驾驶，在远处他可以看到有“浅色”的东西在路上移动。）以及第三句话“At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction.”（在最后一刻，他意识到这是一个孩子，并准备改变方向。）可推断出，司机第一次看到的那个““浅色”的东西应该就是个小孩。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二、三句话“ He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.””（他认为那只狗肯定知道危险，这就是她为什么如此焦虑地吠叫的原因。他说：“那只狗救了那孩子的命，它知道自己在做什么。”）可推知，Cindy在知道危险的情况下还跳了出去，保护了小主人，而自己却被车撞死了，所以说明Cindy是只既勇敢又忠实的狗。故选B。
【27题详解】
标题判断题。本文主要讲述作者的宠物狗因为担心小主人就跟着他从窗户爬了出去，最后为了救小主人牺牲的故事。所以“狂吠的英雄”最符合文章的标题。故选C。
C
At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO₂ from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as “direct air capture(捕捉)” or DAC. It’s a bit like “mining” the sky for CO₂—simple in principle, but very difficult to carry out.
To do this, you need the right geography conditions. That is why Climeworks, a Swiss company, built the Orca plant in Iceland. There, fans draw air into big black containers where the filter(过滤器) catches CO₂. Once the filter is full, it is heated to around 100℃ to separate CO₂ with sufficient energy from volcanic activity. Next, the collected CO₂ is combined with water and pumped deep underground into rock formations. Within a few years, the CO₂ will turn into stone.
However, exciting and promising as this technology is, it won’t save us from climate change on its own. While Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4,000 tons of CO₂ per year, the yearly global emissions(排放) are around 33.4 billion tons of CO₂, so the plant can deal with 0.00001% of our yearly emissions. Besides, the process is expensive and requires large amounts of energy.
Daniel Egger, the chief commercial officer at Climeworks, said that while his company is at an “industrial level”, it is not where it needs to be to make a difference in fighting climate change. But we have to learn to walk before we can run.
Carbon storage(碳储存) is just arising as a technology. It won’t help us fix climate change yet, but it can be important down the line, if we have the right conditions for it.
28. What can we learn about DAC according to the text?
A. It is the best way to fix climate change at present.
B. It requires enough heat and energy to operate.
C. It is highly developed in removing CO₂.
D. It can be applied anywhere in the world.
29. Why are some data used in paragraph 3?
A. To indicate the bright future of the technology.
B. To provide the research results for the readers.
C. To show the challenges DAC faces at present.
D. To call for more plants like Orca to be set up.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the technology?
A Unclear.
B. Uninterested.
C. Doubtful.
D. Hopeful.
31. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A science report.
B. A company leaflet.
C. A chemistry textbook.
D. A social web page.
【28~31题答案】
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的碳存储技术——直接空气捕获技术（DAC），该技术能够吸入空气，并在高能支持下分离出二氧化碳，经过时间沉淀将其转换成岩石。文章分析了其工作原理，面临的挑战，以及前景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“There, fans draw air into big black containers where the filter catches CO₂. Once the filter is full, it is heated to around 100℃ to separate CO₂ with sufficient energy from volcanic activity.(在那里，风扇将空气吸入黑色大容器，过滤器在那里捕捉CO₂。一旦过滤器充满，它就会被加热到100℃左右，以足够的能量从火山活动中分离出CO₂。)”以及文章第三段内容“Besides, the process is expensive and requires large amounts of energy.( 此外，这个过程是昂贵的，需要大量的能源。)”可知，DAC将CO₂转化成岩石的过程中需要吸入大量空气并在滤芯加满之后加热到100℃，才能将CO₂分离出来，同时需要大量的能源支持。因此可知，DAC技术需要足够的热量和能量才能运转。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“While Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4000 tons of CO₂ per year, the yearly global emissions are around 33.4 billion tons of CO₂, so the plant can deal with 0.00001% of our yearly emissions. (世界上最大的工厂——Orca每年最多能捕获4000吨的CO₂，但全球每年的CO₂排放量约为334亿吨，因此该工厂只能处理我们每年排放的0.00001%。)”列举的数字可知，全球每年的CO₂排放量约为334亿吨，该工厂只能处理每年排放的0.00001%，能帮助处理的微乎其微，成本高，耗源大，由此可推知，这些数字表明了DAC目前面临的挑战。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Carbon storage is just arising as a technology. It won't help us fix climate change yet, but it can be important down the line, if we have the right conditions for it.(碳储存技术刚刚兴起。它还不能帮助我们解决气候变化问题，但如果我们有合适的条件，它在未来可能很重要。)”可知，在作者看来，虽然碳存储技术刚刚兴起，还不能帮助解决气候问题，但是在将来合适条件下，碳存储技术还是很重要的，由此可推知，对于该技术，作者是抱有希望的。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通过阅读文章内容，可知文章首段内容“At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO₂ from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as ‘direct air capture’ or DAC.(在冰岛的一座火山脚下，一家新开业的工厂正在从空气中提取CO₂，并将其变成岩石。这种技术被称为“直接空气捕获（DAC）”。)”揭示了文章的中心话题，即，文章主要围绕一项新技术“直接空气捕获（DAC）”为话题，讲述了该技术的原理，面临的挑战，以及前景。由此可推知，文章应是摘自科学新闻报道。故选A项。
D
In a recent staff meeting, my colleagues and I discussed ways to alleviate the current stress our 11th-grade students were feeling. I offered a successful strategy that I use for organizing work in the classroom-negotiating (协商) due dates. The assistant replied, “Yes, a good idea, being flexible with due dates.” Flexible? That was not the word I used, and to me, those two words are not interchangeable; flexibility and negotiation are not the same thing.
Being flexible can help decrease stress and anxiety in the classroom. It shows willingness on the part of the teacher to listen, engage in conversation with students, and shift and adapt when possible. But the balance of power has not really changed. The student still needs to ask for permission, which may or may not be given. In a week when my work seems manageable, I may be feeling generous, but in a week when my workload is high, I may be less likely to lean toward flexibility. So flexibility might mean an extra hour, half a day, or a few days.
In either case the student has no power. In many ways, by the time students reach the stage of having to ask, it’s too late. The stress has already increased, and students are placed in a position where they may make poor decisions, like cutting classes, to get some extra time.
Negotiation is different. It happens at the beginning of the process and is a proactive (先行一步的) approach that encourages shared ownership, an acceptance of equal responsibility. Negotiating brings the teacher and students together to address the issue equally. The date by which work will be done is a question for all, but the student does need to do the work, and the teacher needs to assess it. There are competing needs and schedules and workloads.
Sometimes even the smallest things are worth considering carefully. In teaching, there is nothing small. As a teacher, I usually self-reflect my practice, and strengthen my practice.
32. What does the author think of the assistant’s reply?
A. It is a convincing statement.
B. It is a wrong interpretation.
C. It is a detailed description.
D. It is a positive response.
33. What is the author’s opinion of being flexible?
A. It makes the students feel free.
B. It is a win-win choice in class.
C. It is a strategy to remove stress.
D. It allows the teacher the final say.
34. How does negotiation work according to the author?
A. By encouraging competition among students.
B. By helping teachers assess their responsibility.
C. By creating harmony and equality in the class.
D. By providing a way to reduce students’ workload.
35. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He is expert at arguing with others.
B. He is committed to his teaching work.
C. He is worried about the current education.
D. He is doubtful about the assistant’s ability.
【32~35题答案】
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述的是灵活性和协商对学生课堂上的影响。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“That was not the word I used, and to me, those two words are not interchangeable; flexibility and negotiation are not the same thing.(我用的不是这个词，对我来说，这两个词是不可互换的；灵活性和谈判不是一回事)”可知，作者认为助手的回答是一个错误的理解。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The student still needs to ask for permission, which may or may not be given.(学生仍然需要获得许可，而许可可能会得到，也可能不会得到)”可知，作者对灵活的看法是它让老师有最后的发言权。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Negotiating brings the teacher and students together to address the issue equally.(谈判使教师和学生走到一起，平等地解决问题)”可知，谈判通过在课堂上创造和谐和平等来起作用，故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As a teacher, I usually self-reflect my practice, and strengthen my practice.(作为一名教师，我经常反省自己的实践，加强自己的实践)”可推知，作者致力于他的教学工作。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s not easy to be bored. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. ____36____ It could be just what you need to generate your best ideas and increase your efficiency.
First and foremost, boredom makes you more motivated. Being bored encourages you to search out something less boring to do. ____37____ Or if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch it off and make your own entertainment by taking up a new hobby. So the boredom you’re feeling now could encourage your motivation and help you come up with some of your best ideas.
____38____ You may well fall back on daydreaming to remove boredom. Unlike what parents and teachers may have told you, daydreaming is good for you. In fact, if you find it difficult to stop your mind from wandering during boring meetings or tasks, it could be a result of your impressive brain capacity(能力). Similarly, people doodling(胡写乱画) during a boring meeting are better able to recall details of it than those who simply sit and listen. ____39____
So next time you feel bored from the task in hand-or simply lacking in passion, don’t worry.____40____
A. It could be harmful to your health.
B. Feeling a bit bored does have its benefits.
C. Without distractions to kill boredom, your thoughts can wander.
D. After all, such feelings will make you more motivated and efficient.
E. Put simply, some people seem better at focusing on more than one thing at a time.

【36~40题答案】
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. C 39. E 40. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述如今，在24小时娱乐的时代，无聊是不容易的。但是无聊也是一件好事，它能激发人的动力，让人做事更有效率。
【36题详解】
根据空前“But that’s not necessarily a good thing. ”（但这不一定是件好事）以及空后“It could be just what you need to generate your best ideas and increase your efficiency.”（正是你产生最佳想法和提高效率所需要的）可知，空前认为无聊并不是一件坏事，后面说无聊的好处，B项“感到有点无聊确实有好处”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据空前“Being bored encourages you to search out something less boring to do.”（无聊会鼓励你去寻找一些不那么无聊的事情去做）以及空后“Or if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch it off and make your own entertainment by taking up a new hobby. ”（或者，如果你觉得没有什么值得看的电视节目，你可以选择关掉它，通过培养一种新的爱好来娱乐自己）可知，无聊会让你去找一些不无聊的事情做，后面举例子来证明前面的观点，F选“例如，在工作中感到无聊可能会激励你去探索改变职业”符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据空后“You may well fall back on daydreaming to remove boredom. ”（你很可能会依靠做白日梦来消除无聊）以及下文可知，做白日梦可以消除无聊，而且白日梦也有它自己的好处。C项“如果没有消磨无聊的分心，你的思想就会飘忽不定”符合题意，其中的your thoughts can wander对应下文中的daydreaming。故选C。
【39题详解】
根据空前“Similarly, people doodling(胡写乱画) during a boring meeting are better able to recall details of it than those who simply sit and listen. ”（类似地，在无聊的会议上涂鸦的人比坐着听的人更能回忆起会议的细节）可知，有些人既能做到在会议上乱写乱画，又能很好的把会议上的东西记住，所以他们的注意力可以不仅仅在一件事情上，E项“简言之，有些人似乎更善于一次专注于一件以上的事情”符合语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据空前“So next time you feel bored from the task in hand-or simply lacking in passion, don’t worry.”（所以，下次当你对手头的任务感到无聊或只是缺乏激情时，不要担心）以及前文可知，不用担心对当前的任务感到无聊，因为无聊也能激发的动力，让你更有效率。D项“毕竟，这种感觉会让你更有动力，更有效率”符合语境。故选D。

I remember the hot summer when we discovered ice cream sandwiches at the corner store. They were ten cents a piece, a lot of money back then. I don’t remember how we came to buy one and taste it, but we were mad after that. Of course, none of us had any money. Whether we rode our bikes, or played ball, or sat and played cards, we talked and dreamed about those soft, creamy sandwiches.
My dad worked nights, coming home to join us for breakfast, and then sleeping till late afternoon. When he came home one morning, I heard the jingle (叮当声) of change in his pants and something ugly slowly came into my mind. All day long I kept coming into the house and listening at his door. When I heard his seeping sounds, I Cracked the door And there hanging at the foot of the bed were those pants. I sipped in and took a handful of change. It was enough for my friends and me to eat like greedy pigs. And I became a hero to my band of friends.
That went on every day for about two weeks. I had gotten good at slipping in and sipping out, and then ran to my friends and we headed to the store.
One day there was no change in dad’s pocket so I felt hesitated a moment, then took out two whole dollars. I had been okay. with taking the change, but those dollars made my face hot. Even before we began enjoying sandwiches, my stomach felt sick. The importance and joy I had felt buying for my friends was gone. If dad knew what I had done, he’d kill me.

【67题答案】
【答案】
Early that afternoon, I hid myself in our basement, crying. I've never done such a thing before. I felt guilty and frightened. I didn't know how my father would punish me when he knew it. Just then the basement door opened and I heard someone come in. I didn't look up, but I knew it was my father. He came up to me and I could hear my heart beating. but I felt a hand gently touching my head. I looked up and tears came down. I said vaguely, "Dad, I..., I was wrong. I secretly took money from your pocket every day to invite my friends to eat sandwiches, and even today I took two dollars. "After that, I lowered my head again and waited for my father's furious reaction.
In a moment I will never forget, he said, “Son, I’ve known since the first day you took the money.” I was shocked to hear my father say so. Suddenly I didn't know what to say. Dad continued,“ But, son, I'm waiting for when you can realize your mistakes. I put change in my pocket every day, and even changed into two dollars today. You know, mistakes are like these money, more and more, bigger and bigger. Fortunately, you found the mistake that made you fell uncomfortable and have the courage to admit it. I think you've done a good job, son. Since then, my father's words have always sounded in my ears from time to time, guiding the way of my life.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者想请朋友们吃冰淇淋三明治，但是他没有钱。有一天父亲下班回家脱衣服时，他突然听到零钱从父亲的口袋里掉出来，所以作者想到了一个馊主意，每天偷偷的从父亲的口袋里拿钱去请小朋友们，有一天他甚至从父亲那里偷拿了两美元。那天买完三明治后，作者再也感觉不到请小朋友们吃东西的成就感，害怕父亲知道后会批评他。
【详解】段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“那天下午，我躲在地下室哭泣。”可知，第一段应该写作者意识到了错误，他父亲也来到了地下室。
②由第二段首句内容““在一瞬间，我永远不会忘记，”他说，“儿子，自从你第一天拿了钱，我就知道了。””可知，第二段应该写父亲为什么会没有在第一天就拆穿他，是要等到他自己发现错误并改正。作者也从中学到了很多的道理。
2.续写线索：意识到错误——父亲到来——告诉真想——感到惊讶——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类：
①进来come in/enter
②低头：lower one’s head/hang one’s hand
③意识到：realize /be aware of
情绪类
①生气的反应：furious reaction/react angrily
②温柔的抚摸：gently touch/softly touch

【原文】Good afternoon, this is lunch time news.
A series of powerful tornadoes struck six American states over the weekend, killing at least 90 people, including workers in a candle factory in Mayfield, a Kentucky town, lakeside vacationers in Tennessee and residents in a nursing home in Arkansas.
Dozens of night-shift employees began to work in the candle factory in Mayfield when the terrible disaster happened. The workers sheltered in the bathroom area supposed to be the safest part of the building. But it may not have been of any use because the tornado was so big. Ten more people remain missing.
Judy Burton is a Mayfield local who spoke to the reporter about the storm this morning. She said that she was able to take shelter in the basement of her apartment building before the tornado hit. Local officials said the fire station was seriously damaged and most of the town’s police cars were destroyed. Many buildings were reduced to nothing. Burton was so worried about her old neighbor, Steve, as he was unable to escape with ruins around him.

Cindy, my dog, was six years old when my son Tony was born. And she was immediately very protective over him. We lived near a busy road. As my son was too young, we were super vigilant for fear that he should go out of the front door.
Cindy knew that our son wasn’t allowed to go through the front door without us so whenever Tony touched the front door handle, she would push him back. One morning, around 4 am, our son somehow managed to “escape” through his bedroom window, and Cindy had to follow.
At 5 am, the police woke us knocking on the door. They said, “Your son was nearly killed but the dog saved him.” They then repeated what the truck driver had said.
He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. As he got closer, he could see a dog at the side of the road barking at it. At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction. The dog was still barking, glancing(扫视) between the truck and the child. While the driver was braking(刹车), the dog ran out into the road, jumped at the child’s back and threw him out of the path of the truck. At the same time, the truck hit the dog and she was killed.
The driver said that he’d never believe what he saw unless it was with his own eyes. He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.”
That was 39 years ago and I still miss Cindy every day.
24. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “vigilant”?
A. Careful. B. Desperate.
C. Upset. D. Confident.
25. What did the driver first see on the road?
A. An on-duty policeman.
B. A frightened dog.
C. A moving light.
D. A small child.
26. Which of the following best describes Cindy?
A Serious and fierce.
B. Brave and loyal.
C. Helpful and mild.
D. Quiet and cute.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Terrible Accident
B. A Dangerous Escape
C. A Barking Hero
D. A Careless Driver
【24~27题答案】
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的宠物狗因为担心小主人就跟着他从窗户爬了出去，最后为了救小主人牺牲的故事。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画横线单词的前面一句话“We lived near a busy road.”（我们住在一条繁忙的道路附近。）以及划横线的单词所在句子的后半句“for fear that he should go out of the front door”（怕他从前门出去）可推测，我们住在一条繁忙的马路附近，当我儿子还小时，我们非常小心，怕他从前面出去，所以vigilant的意思为“小心的，谨慎的”。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话“He told them that he was driving along in the dark and in the distance he could see something “light coloured” moving on the road. ”（他告诉他们，他是在黑暗中驾驶，在远处他可以看到有“浅色”的东西在路上移动。）以及第三句话“At the last moment, he realized that it was a child and was about to change the direction.”（在最后一刻，他意识到这是一个孩子，并准备改变方向。）可推断出，司机第一次看到的那个““浅色”的东西应该就是个小孩。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二、三句话“ He thought that the dog definitely knew the danger, which was why she was barking so anxiously. He said “that dog just saved that kid’s life and it knew what it was doing.””（他认为那只狗肯定知道危险，这就是她为什么如此焦虑地吠叫的原因。他说：“那只狗救了那孩子的命，它知道自己在做什么。”）可推知，Cindy在知道危险的情况下还跳了出去，保护了小主人，而自己却被车撞死了，所以说明Cindy是只既勇敢又忠实的狗。故选B。
【27题详解】
标题判断题。本文主要讲述作者的宠物狗因为担心小主人就跟着他从窗户爬了出去，最后为了救小主人牺牲的故事。所以“狂吠的英雄”最符合文章的标题。故选C。
C
At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO₂ from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as “direct air capture(捕捉)” or DAC. It’s a bit like “mining” the sky for CO₂—simple in principle, but very difficult to carry out.
To do this, you need the right geography conditions. That is why Climeworks, a Swiss company, built the Orca plant in Iceland. There, fans draw air into big black containers where the filter(过滤器) catches CO₂. Once the filter is full, it is heated to around 100℃ to separate CO₂ with sufficient energy from volcanic activity. Next, the collected CO₂ is combined with water and pumped deep underground into rock formations. Within a few years, the CO₂ will turn into stone.
However, exciting and promising as this technology is, it won’t save us from climate change on its own. While Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4,000 tons of CO₂ per year, the yearly global emissions(排放) are around 33.4 billion tons of CO₂, so the plant can deal with 0.00001% of our yearly emissions. Besides, the process is expensive and requires large amounts of energy.
Daniel Egger, the chief commercial officer at Climeworks, said that while his company is at an “industrial level”, it is not where it needs to be to make a difference in fighting climate change. But we have to learn to walk before we can run.
Carbon storage(碳储存) is just arising as a technology. It won’t help us fix climate change yet, but it can be important down the line, if we have the right conditions for it.
28. What can we learn about DAC according to the text?
A. It is the best way to fix climate change at present.
B. It requires enough heat and energy to operate.
C. It is highly developed in removing CO₂.
D. It can be applied anywhere in the world.
29. Why are some data used in paragraph 3?
A. To indicate the bright future of the technology.
B. To provide the research results for the readers.
C. To show the challenges DAC faces at present.
D. To call for more plants like Orca to be set up.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the technology?
A Unclear.
B. Uninterested.
C. Doubtful.
D. Hopeful.
31. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A science report.
B. A company leaflet.
C. A chemistry textbook.
D. A social web page.
【28~31题答案】
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的碳存储技术——直接空气捕获技术（DAC），该技术能够吸入空气，并在高能支持下分离出二氧化碳，经过时间沉淀将其转换成岩石。文章分析了其工作原理，面临的挑战，以及前景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“There, fans draw air into big black containers where the filter catches CO₂. Once the filter is full, it is heated to around 100℃ to separate CO₂ with sufficient energy from volcanic activity.(在那里，风扇将空气吸入黑色大容器，过滤器在那里捕捉CO₂。一旦过滤器充满，它就会被加热到100℃左右，以足够的能量从火山活动中分离出CO₂。)”以及文章第三段内容“Besides, the process is expensive and requires large amounts of energy.( 此外，这个过程是昂贵的，需要大量的能源。)”可知，DAC将CO₂转化成岩石的过程中需要吸入大量空气并在滤芯加满之后加热到100℃，才能将CO₂分离出来，同时需要大量的能源支持。因此可知，DAC技术需要足够的热量和能量才能运转。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“While Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4000 tons of CO₂ per year, the yearly global emissions are around 33.4 billion tons of CO₂, so the plant can deal with 0.00001% of our yearly emissions. (世界上最大的工厂——Orca每年最多能捕获4000吨的CO₂，但全球每年的CO₂排放量约为334亿吨，因此该工厂只能处理我们每年排放的0.00001%。)”列举的数字可知，全球每年的CO₂排放量约为334亿吨，该工厂只能处理每年排放的0.00001%，能帮助处理的微乎其微，成本高，耗源大，由此可推知，这些数字表明了DAC目前面临的挑战。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Carbon storage is just arising as a technology. It won't help us fix climate change yet, but it can be important down the line, if we have the right conditions for it.(碳储存技术刚刚兴起。它还不能帮助我们解决气候变化问题，但如果我们有合适的条件，它在未来可能很重要。)”可知，在作者看来，虽然碳存储技术刚刚兴起，还不能帮助解决气候问题，但是在将来合适条件下，碳存储技术还是很重要的，由此可推知，对于该技术，作者是抱有希望的。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通过阅读文章内容，可知文章首段内容“At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO₂ from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as ‘direct air capture’ or DAC.(在冰岛的一座火山脚下，一家新开业的工厂正在从空气中提取CO₂，并将其变成岩石。这种技术被称为“直接空气捕获（DAC）”。)”揭示了文章的中心话题，即，文章主要围绕一项新技术“直接空气捕获（DAC）”为话题，讲述了该技术的原理，面临的挑战，以及前景。由此可推知，文章应是摘自科学新闻报道。故选A项。
D
In a recent staff meeting, my colleagues and I discussed ways to alleviate the current stress our 11th-grade students were feeling. I offered a successful strategy that I use for organizing work in the classroom-negotiating (协商) due dates. The assistant replied, “Yes, a good idea, being flexible with due dates.” Flexible? That was not the word I used, and to me, those two words are not interchangeable; flexibility and negotiation are not the same thing.
Being flexible can help decrease stress and anxiety in the classroom. It shows willingness on the part of the teacher to listen, engage in conversation with students, and shift and adapt when possible. But the balance of power has not really changed. The student still needs to ask for permission, which may or may not be given. In a week when my work seems manageable, I may be feeling generous, but in a week when my workload is high, I may be less likely to lean toward flexibility. So flexibility might mean an extra hour, half a day, or a few days.
In either case the student has no power. In many ways, by the time students reach the stage of having to ask, it’s too late. The stress has already increased, and students are placed in a position where they may make poor decisions, like cutting classes, to get some extra time.
Negotiation is different. It happens at the beginning of the process and is a proactive (先行一步的) approach that encourages shared ownership, an acceptance of equal responsibility. Negotiating brings the teacher and students together to address the issue equally. The date by which work will be done is a question for all, but the student does need to do the work, and the teacher needs to assess it. There are competing needs and schedules and workloads.
Sometimes even the smallest things are worth considering carefully. In teaching, there is nothing small. As a teacher, I usually self-reflect my practice, and strengthen my practice.
32. What does the author think of the assistant’s reply?
A. It is a convincing statement.
B. It is a wrong interpretation.
C. It is a detailed description.
D. It is a positive response.
33. What is the author’s opinion of being flexible?
A. It makes the students feel free.
B. It is a win-win choice in class.
C. It is a strategy to remove stress.
D. It allows the teacher the final say.
34. How does negotiation work according to the author?
A. By encouraging competition among students.
B. By helping teachers assess their responsibility.
C. By creating harmony and equality in the class.
D. By providing a way to reduce students’ workload.
35. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He is expert at arguing with others.
B. He is committed to his teaching work.
C. He is worried about the current education.
D. He is doubtful about the assistant’s ability.
【32~35题答案】
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述的是灵活性和协商对学生课堂上的影响。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“That was not the word I used, and to me, those two words are not interchangeable; flexibility and negotiation are not the same thing.(我用的不是这个词，对我来说，这两个词是不可互换的；灵活性和谈判不是一回事)”可知，作者认为助手的回答是一个错误的理解。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The student still needs to ask for permission, which may or may not be given.(学生仍然需要获得许可，而许可可能会得到，也可能不会得到)”可知，作者对灵活的看法是它让老师有最后的发言权。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Negotiating brings the teacher and students together to address the issue equally.(谈判使教师和学生走到一起，平等地解决问题)”可知，谈判通过在课堂上创造和谐和平等来起作用，故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“As a teacher, I usually self-reflect my practice, and strengthen my practice.(作为一名教师，我经常反省自己的实践，加强自己的实践)”可推知，作者致力于他的教学工作。故选B。

Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s not easy to be bored. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. ____36____ It could be just what you need to generate your best ideas and increase your efficiency.
First and foremost, boredom makes you more motivated. Being bored encourages you to search out something less boring to do. ____37____ Or if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch it off and make your own entertainment by taking up a new hobby. So the boredom you’re feeling now could encourage your motivation and help you come up with some of your best ideas.
____38____ You may well fall back on daydreaming to remove boredom. Unlike what parents and teachers may have told you, daydreaming is good for you. In fact, if you find it difficult to stop your mind from wandering during boring meetings or tasks, it could be a result of your impressive brain capacity(能力). Similarly, people doodling(胡写乱画) during a boring meeting are better able to recall details of it than those who simply sit and listen. ____39____
So next time you feel bored from the task in hand-or simply lacking in passion, don’t worry.____40____
A. It could be harmful to your health.
B. Feeling a bit bored does have its benefits.
C. Without distractions to kill boredom, your thoughts can wander.
D. After all, such feelings will make you more motivated and efficient.
E. Put simply, some people seem better at focusing on more than one thing at a time.
F. For example, feeling bored at work could inspire you to explore a change of career.
G. If you think there’s nothing to interest you, you’ll start to lose the ability to think creatively.

I remember the hot summer when we discovered ice cream sandwiches at the corner store. They were ten cents a piece, a lot of money back then. I don’t remember how we came to buy one and taste it, but we were mad after that. Of course, none of us had any money. Whether we rode our bikes, or played ball, or sat and played cards, we talked and dreamed about those soft, creamy sandwiches.
My dad worked nights, coming home to join us for breakfast, and then sleeping till late afternoon. When he came home one morning, I heard the jingle (叮当声) of change in his pants and something ugly slowly came into my mind. All day long I kept coming into the house and listening at his door. When I heard his seeping sounds, I Cracked the door And there hanging at the foot of the bed were those pants. I sipped in and took a handful of change. It was enough for my friends and me to eat like greedy pigs. And I became a hero to my band of friends.
That went on every day for about two weeks. I had gotten good at slipping in and sipping out, and then ran to my friends and we headed to the store.
One day there was no change in dad’s pocket so I felt hesitated a moment, then took out two whole dollars. I had been okay. with taking the change, but those dollars made my face hot. Even before we began enjoying sandwiches, my stomach felt sick. The importance and joy I had felt buying for my friends was gone. If dad knew what I had done, he’d kill me.

【67题答案】
【答案】
Early that afternoon, I hid myself in our basement, crying. I've never done such a thing before. I felt guilty and frightened. I didn't know how my father would punish me when he knew it. Just then the basement door opened and I heard someone come in. I didn't look up, but I knew it was my father. He came up to me and I could hear my heart beating. but I felt a hand gently touching my head. I looked up and tears came down. I said vaguely, "Dad, I..., I was wrong. I secretly took money from your pocket every day to invite my friends to eat sandwiches, and even today I took two dollars. "After that, I lowered my head again and waited for my father's furious reaction.
In a moment I will never forget, he said, “Son, I’ve known since the first day you took the money.” I was shocked to hear my father say so. Suddenly I didn't know what to say. Dad continued,“ But, son, I'm waiting for when you can realize your mistakes. I put change in my pocket every day, and even changed into two dollars today. You know, mistakes are like these money, more and more, bigger and bigger. Fortunately, you found the mistake that made you fell uncomfortable and have the courage to admit it. I think you've done a good job, son. Since then, my father's words have always sounded in my ears from time to time, guiding the way of my life.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者想请朋友们吃冰淇淋三明治，但是他没有钱。有一天父亲下班回家脱衣服时，他突然听到零钱从父亲的口袋里掉出来，所以作者想到了一个馊主意，每天偷偷的从父亲的口袋里拿钱去请小朋友们，有一天他甚至从父亲那里偷拿了两美元。那天买完三明治后，作者再也感觉不到请小朋友们吃东西的成就感，害怕父亲知道后会批评他。
【详解】段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“那天下午，我躲在地下室哭泣。”可知，第一段应该写作者意识到了错误，他父亲也来到了地下室。
②由第二段首句内容““在一瞬间，我永远不会忘记，”他说，“儿子，自从你第一天拿了钱，我就知道了。””可知，第二段应该写父亲为什么会没有在第一天就拆穿他，是要等到他自己发现错误并改正。作者也从中学到了很多的道理。
2.续写线索：意识到错误——父亲到来——告诉真想——感到惊讶——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类：
①进来come in/enter
②低头：lower one’s head/hang one’s hand
③意识到：realize /be aware of
情绪类
①生气的反应：furious reaction/react angrily
②温柔的抚摸：gently touch/softly touch
【点睛】[高分句型1] Fortunately, you found the mistake that made you fell uncomfortable and have the courage to admit it.（由关系代词that引导的限定性定语从句）
[高分句型2]Since then, my father's words have always sounded in my ears from time to time, guiding the way of my life.（运用了现在分词做状语）
