It's 9 pm on a Friday night in March, and I'm about to spend a night in the former home of the poet — the first journalist to do so. I've said goodnight to the young curator(馆长)Leo Finighan. And now it's just me and one of the most influential writers, alone together in his library.On and off from 1813 to 1850, he was here, receiving visitors and editing his work.I can't help feeling his spirit is still around."This is still, in part, a family house and we're probably not as precious about it as we should be." Chris Andrew had told me. He is Wordsworth's great-great-great-great-grandson and the main promoter of a plan to open Rydal Mount to over might guests for the first time."But we prefer it this way." he added."It preserves the closeness to the poet. We can offer a more personal connection as a result."As I take a copy of his complete works back to my chair, they all seem to be gathering round. Here comes the poet.He's back from the garden, where he would pace the path, composing lines. Upstairs, Dorothy, his sister, is unwell. It's an extraordinary feeling, as though at any moment I'm going to hear someone's voice. By 9:30 pm,I'm in bed. I have a sound sleep in the best bedroom in the house. It's the one that Wordsworth and his wife Mary used.Before I have to go the next morning, there's still time for a poem, and I choose The Tables Turned from Lyrical Ballads. It begins with"Up! Up! My Friend, and quit your books" and I can't help smiling at the volumes in front of me. It feels like he's talking directly to me. Not surprising, really, given the fact I'm sitting in his bedroom.24.Why does the author head for Rydal Mount?A.To visit his friend Finighan.B.To show admiration for Wordsworth.C.To report an annual event as a journalist.D.To attend a conference for influential writers.25.What was Andrew's attitude to opening Rydal Mount to overnight guests?A.doubtful.      B. indifferent    C. favourable.   D.disapproving.26.What does"they" in paragraph 4 refer to?A.His family    B.His works    C.Guests    D.Sounds27.How does the author feel when reading The Tables Turned?A.He feels surprised at Wordsworth's humour.B.He feels as if Wordsworth were on the scene.C.He feels as if Wordsworth were enthusiastic about talking.D. He feels Wordsworth might have been too choosy about words.C"A lot of early archaeology(考古学)was about finding things that are beautiful and museum-worthy," says archaeologist Sarah Graff. Bits of broken artifacts or boring-looking items from the field of food preparation were sometimes thrown aside with the dirt that wasn't being analyzed, she says, and scholars used to be more excited by the lives of kings."They didn't really think that things that had to do with domestic labor would have anything to do with politics or economics.”But researchers are now finding more of those connections and trying to mine ancient pots to learn about the foods once prepared in them.Biogeochemist Richard Evershed made his first identification of fat from foods in the walls of medieval (中世纪的) pots dating from 950 to 1450 at a site in England.With signs of fat, probably from making cheese, those pots are thought to have been used for baking bread. The scientists also discovered the leaf wax(蜡) of cabbage,which was likely cooked with meat. Consuming meat, cheese, butter and bread, the medieval peasants weren't doing too badly,says archaeologist Julie Dunne, Evershed's teammate.Since 2014, some researchers have dived into experimental archaeology by cooking various recipes in store-bought pots. They used the same pot to cook the same recipe 50 times, and finally switched to a new recipe, cooking four meals. After a year,the pots' outer layers held signs of all the recipes but contained more remaining parts of the last meals. But the fatty substances within the inner layers of the pots built up over many times of cooking, which left obvious proof of the former recipes.The latest cooking events, however, was not the case, as archeologist Melanie Miller and her team mates reported in 2020 in Scientific Reports.Miller and her team will continue cooking their tasteless meals. Cooking is "one of the most common things that humans have across time and space,"she says. Food and food practices signify traditions, politics, status, identities, upbringings and more. Food preparation reveals much."It's a daily practice.usually representative of all these much larger questions about our place in the world."28.What does Graff say about early archaeologists?A.They realized the significance of domestic labor.B.They ignored cooking artifacts every now and then.C.They showed some interest in unimportant items.D.They studied pots with wrong analytical methods.29.What can be inferred about the owners of the medieval pots?A.They disliked eating vegetables.B.They could not make bread.C.They had little milk to drink.D.They might not be poor.30.What did Miller find about the inner layers of the pots?A.Not all the recipes left clear signs within them.B.They had a lot of remaining parts from the latest cooking.C.More fatty substances from the last meals were contained.D. They displayed as much evidence as the outer layers did.31.Which statement might Miller most probably agree with?A. It is difficult to know how ancient people cooked.B.Cooking reveals various aspects of human culture.C. Studying ancient pots helps improve modern people's cooking.D. Food practices were very similar among different ancient groups. D"This is the next revolution in flying," says Mark Henning, European managing director of AutoFlight, a Chinese firm. Mr Henning is not alone in betting that electric vertical(垂直的) take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have a bright future. The idea is that, being simpler, cheaper, greener and quieter than traditional helicopters, eVTOLs will be well suited to operate short-range passenger services across large urban areas,such as flying people between airports and city centres.Now,Mr Henning is setting up an operation at Augsburg Airport in Germany to further the development of Prosperity I, the company's air taxi. Prosperity I can seat three passengers and a pilot. It is a hvbrid between a helicopter and a fixed-wing plane.It takes off and lands vertically, using multiple rotors (旋翼), but these are switched off when it is in full flight. At that point a "pusher"propeller(螺旋桨)at the back takes over, to provide forward drive, and thus lift via the wings. This arrangement makes better use of the aircraft's battery, giving Prosperity I a range of some 250 km.A model will be test-flown in Germany in order to obtain what is known as a type certificate from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This signifies the airworthiness of a new aircraft. Although AutoFlight is also seeking certification in China, the company thinks the addition of European approval will help speed them achine's entry into service in other markets, too. It hopes to complete the approval process by 2025.There is uncertainty, about how the rules will differ from place to place.Nonetheless, enough regulatory progress has been made. In America, Joby Aviation hopes next year to become the first to obtain a type certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In Europe, Volocopter, a German firm, hopes to provide air-taxiservices for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.It is not only new firms which are getting into the business. Airbus is developing ideas for eVTOLs. So is Boeing. With so much effort and money going into this new form of air travel, some of these birds will surely be flying soon.32.What will eVTOLs be used to do?A. Deliver goods in airports.B.Carry passengers across cities.C.Function as charging stations.D.Replace traditional helicopters.33.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"hybrid" in Paragraph 2?A.mixture   B.symbol    C.concept    D.application34.What is AutoFlight trying to do for Prosperity I?A. Obtain a type certificate from the FAA.B. Have it tested across the sky of America.C. Tailor a set of rules as soon as possible.D.Get it approved by European authorities.35.What is the suitable title for the passage?A.A Role of eVTOL in Machine IndustryB.A Novel Form of Air Service in CityC.A New Version of Boeing's EvolutionD.How to Win the Certificate from EASA 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。Have you ever heard of underwater football?

My friend Ollie and I had a Halloween idea which came with so many challenges that we thought about giving up.Then one day, my parents were busy baking muffins and cookies in the bakery fora bake sale to support the animal shelter. Ollie and I were also busy helping scoop(用勺舀)flour(面粉)from a container holding bags of it."Good girls! Every little bit helps those animals," my mum said."I just wish we could encourage our neighbors to contribute.""Aha! I have a brilliant idea," shouted Ollie, tossing(扔；掷)the scoop into the container excitedly, the white flour spattered(溅；洒)all over her face."How about having a costume-contest fund-raiser?""Yeah!" I said, pointing at Ollie's face and laughing."And since it's for the animal shelter, it could be a costume contest for dogs."We sat down to make our to-do list, then got to work.Number one on the list was finding a location. We thought the shelter would be perfect, but when we asked them, they said they weren't set up for events. The library,the movie theater, and the corner cafe said no too."Maybe we should just give up,"Ollie grumbled(咕哝；嘟囔.)"Wait!"I said."Why didn't I think of it sooner? I bet my parents would let us have the event outside their store!"We ran over to the bakery to ask, and finally got the yes we'd been waiting for.A hundred years later, we had enough posters to put up around the neighborhood.We prepared all week after school, and at last, the big day came. And lots of people showed up."Wow, you two did a wonderful job!" said my dad to Ollie and me."I've never seen so many dogs in so many different costumes.""Me neither."My mom grinned.But then, a little girl arrived. She at the bakery, crying."My Coco," her hands stroking a poodle(贵妇犬)with big brown eyes,"had a perfect superhero costume, but it ripped(裂开)on our way. Now she doesn't have a costume at all!""Aw, I'm sorry,"I said."Here you are! Maybe this muffin and cookie will make you feel better,"Ollie said."Thank you."she smiled.Paragraph1:The costume show began. Suddenly, Coco started barking and racing all over the place! Paragraph2:"Well, White Coco," my mom said with a giggle,"Now you're wearing the ever-best costume!"
