W: Excuse me. I want to go to the city library. But how can I go there?
M: The subway station is far from here. I think the bus might be a better choice.
Text 2
W: I will never go anywhere with Bill ever again. He can never remember where he parks his car.
M: That certainly sounds like Bill.
Text 3
M: Hey, Alice. What are you working on?
W: Oh, Dad. I’m writing a story for the high school paper. I have to turn it in tomorrow morning.
M: Well, don’t work all night.
Text 4
M: Excuse me, how much is this dark blue suit?
W: 253 dollars. Wow, I think it really looks good on you.
M: Thanks. Actually, I like everything about it except the price.
Text 5
W: So, what’s your big news?
M: Well, my mom got a new car the day before yesterday.
W: That’s exciting. Will you get to drive it once for a while?
M: Even better, my mom will give me the old car.
Text 6
W: Charlie, you look different. Did you lose some weight?
M: My weight hasn’t changed for at last ten years.
W: Then it must be the new coat you’re wearing. It’s a really nice coat.
M: Uh, I wore this coat last winter, and the winter of the year before last. Do you really work in the same office for the last five years, Jenny?
W: Oh, I know it! You’re wearing glasses now! How did you become near-sighted?
M: I’m not. I’m just wearing it for fashion. Now I look knowledgeable, don’t I?
Text 7
M: Is that Miss Scold?
W: Speaking, can I help you?
M: Yes, this is Jimmy Carter. I saw Dr. Brown last week. She gave me medicine and advised me to take things easy. But now I feel even worse, so I wonder if I can come to her tomorrow.
W: I’m afraid not. She’s fully booked tomorrow, but there’s an opening at 3 this afternoon.
M: Oh, no. I’m busy at that moment and I really can’t come this afternoon.
W: Well, maybe if the doctor told you to take it easy, you shouldn’t be working so hard. That might be part of the problem.
M: Maybe you’re right.

M: Just open it. This one is from Mr Sharp. He bought it from his last business trip to California. He told me this would be a great surprise for you. I wonder if it’s a nice watch or something.
W: Oh,boy! It’s the newest type of wireless headphones! I’ve always wanted this to go with my cellphone! I wish my birthday were every day.
M: Me,too. Alice, this is from me. Hope you’ll like it.
W: A beautiful skateboard! I like it! Maybe I should search the web and look for a sports club which can teach me how to play with it.
M: Why bother? I can always teach you how to skateboard if you like.
W: Really? That’s very nice of you. Thank you.
Text 9
M: Welcome back to class, everyone! Well, today we are going to talk about life in the future.
W: What do you think we’ll eat in the future, Mr Brown? What will the food be like in your opinion?
M: Well, in my opinion, foods like vegetables and meat in the future will be almost the same as they are now. But, unbelievable as it may sound, in the future we could be eating in-sects-insects are rich in protein, low in fat, which can help to build up our body.
W: How about work in the future?
M: Well, it does seem that humans will no longer be operating machines. For example, taxis will most likely be replaced by self-driving cars. There will also probably be a number of new kinds of jobs, such as workers repairing self-driving cars and space tour guides. I’m sure that as long as you study hard, you needn’t worry about being fired!
W: What do you think the space will be like in the future?
M: Well, I think I don’t have enough knowledge to talk on that topic-and you all are a bit young to be worrying about that! Why don’t we let someone else in the class ask a question?
Text 10
W: Welcome to StudentLife! Today we’re going to talk about setting up a project of student jobs in our school. Having students do different jobs around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world. It encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new skills and gain experience. However, to get students excited about the project, the first thing we should do is let students know this project. Get the headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project, OK? Then decide on the jobs we want and write out the descriptions of the skills and responsibilities needed for each position. Some typical jobs are classroom assistants, recycling officers and computer assistants. Next, ask students to apply for the jobs. Students should be encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested in. This is a great way to practice letter writing skills. And don’t forget we should make sure students are guided by a teacher. A committee then reviews all the applications and gives jobs to the most suitable applicants. Finally, it’s important to get opinions from students about the project, to find out which jobs are successful and which don’t go well.

Wildlife photographer Sam Turley and his wife Vera found a two-week-old blesbok (南非白面大羚羊)—whom they named Meme—on her own. She was spotted wandering around on her own after her mother passed away.
The pair took Meme in and raised the animal themselves for seven months before releasing her back out into the wild. Neither of them had ever raised a blesbok before. So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort. Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok, a dog and a cat all walking together. In the right areas, the blesbok is a really common antelope to see and is therefore often overlooked and under-appreciated. It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok’s secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible.
After releasing Meme back out into the wild, the couple were convinced they would never see her again, until several months later when they were driving around a reserve and happened to come across a herd of blesboks.
Vera called out Meme’s name in the hope of finding Meme. Blesboks all look very similar to one another, which makes it very difficult to distinguish individuals. When Vera started to talk, the herd raised their heads and looked over. Vera continued to call Meme and as all the other blesboks lost interest, one individual held her gaze and ran straight up to her.
After rescuing the lonely animal, Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do. But after having such a strong bond with an animal, it was really difficult to see her go. They had put so much time, effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile.
24. What happened to Meme when she was spotted?
A. She became an orphan. B. She was lost in the forest.
C. She was hunted by a couple. D. She was abandoned by her mother.
25. What was Meme’s life with the couple like?
A. She was rare to be seen outside.
B. She was hard to be artificially fed.
C. She fitted in well with the whole family.
D. She was under-appreciated in the family.
26. Which word can best explain the underlined word “fend” in the last paragraph?
A. Look. B. Care.
C. Search. D. Hunt.
27. Which of the following can best describe the act of rescuing the blesbok?
A. Effortless. B. Unsatisfactory.
C. Rewarding. D. Heartbreaking.
【答案】24. A25. C26. B27. C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。野生动物摄影师Sam和妻子Vera救了一只两周龄的南非白面大羚羊并为其取名Meme，七个月后把她成功放归野外，几个月后再次与她意外相遇。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段“Wildlife photographer Sam Turley and his wife Vera found a two-week-old blesbok (南非白面大羚羊)—whom they named Meme—on her own. She was spotted wandering around on her own after her mother passed away. (野生动物摄影师萨姆·特利和他的妻子维拉发现了一只两周大的南非白面大羚羊独自（呆着），他们给它取名为Meme。在她母亲去世后，有人看到她独自四处游荡。)”可知，野生动物摄影师Sam和他妻子Vera发现了一只南非白面大羚羊独自在周围游荡，她的母亲已经去世。所以Meme在被发现时成了孤儿。故选A项。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok, a dog and a cat all walking together. (无论薇拉走到哪里，Meme都会跟着她，有时，这对夫妇会带着一只南非白面大羚羊、一只狗和一只猫一起散步。)”可知，Meme在这个家里很适应。故选C项。
26.词句推测题。根据划线词所在句“After rescuing the lonely animal, Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do. (在拯救了这只孤独的动物之后，山姆和维拉发现，不得不把她放回野外让她自己fend，这让他们非常激动——尽管他们知道这是一件正确的事情。)”，及上下文可知，夫妇俩把一个两周龄的南非白面大羚羊救回并抚养长大，最终要放归大自然，目的是让它能自己照顾自己，此处fend意为“照看，照料”，与Care意思相近，故选B项。
27.推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort. (所以这需要极大的耐心和同情心来保持她的健康，但这是值得的。)”，第二段最后一句“It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok’s secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible. (被允许进入南非白面大羚羊的秘密世界是一种特权，他们对南非白面大羚羊的了解比他们想象的要多。)”，以及最后一段最后一句“They had put so much time, effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile. (他们花了那么多的时间、精力和精力来抚养她，但看到她在一群南非白面大羚羊中行走，这一切都值得了。)”可知，救下这只南非白面大羚羊以及之后的一切付出都是值得的，故选C项。
C
A fourth color might be added to traffic lights to better realize the potential of self-driving vehicles, as stated in a recent paper by researchers at North Carolina State University in the US.
Autonomous vehicles can do more than just drive-they are able to sense their surroundings and upload information. A shared network gives orders to stop at a crossing based on traffic conditions.
The added white lights would be used to signal to human drivers that autonomous vehicles are managing the upcoming traffic flow intelligently. Drivers don’t have to check the traditional lights if the white one is on. “The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them,” one of the study authors Ali Hajbabaie told the university’s website.
Simulated (模拟的) models showed that autonomous vehicles were able to improve traffic flow on their own. Introducing the white light also has a positive effect on reducing fuel consumption. The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.
What kind of infrastructure (基础设施) is needed as self-driving technology thrives? In an interview with China Surveying and Mapping magazine, Liu Jingnan at the Chinese Academy of Engineering shared his answers.
To begin with, the vehicle’s network that collects data about the environment and shares the data with other vehicles needs to be intelligent. High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.
For example, when driving around a curve, the navigation (导航) system in the vehicle needs to calculate the safe speed based on the map’s information. And if the area is foggy, the network has to alarm the other cars to slow down.
Other elements on the road need to be upgraded too. For example, road markings should be precise and readable for machines. Sensors should be built on sidewalks and roads to allow vehicles to predict potentially dangerous situations.
28. What is the purpose of adding a white light to traffic lights?
A. To signal to self-driving cars when to stop.
B. To help driverless cars assess traffic conditions.
C. To tell human drivers to go after the cars in front.
D. To signal to human drivers to pass the cars ahead.
29. According to the article, what effect would the introduction of self-driving cars bring about?
A. Increased road safety.
B. Reduced fuel efficiency.
C. Less time stuck in traffic.
D. Unpredictable traffic patterns.
30. What is a function of high-precision maps in self-driving technology?
A. To calculate a safe speed for vehicles.
B. To provide real-time weather updates.
C. To plan routes for autonomous vehicles.
D. To offer real-time data on road conditions.
31. What does the author intend to prove in the second-to-last paragraph?
A. The advantages of autonomous vehicles.
B. The role of the navigation system in self-driving cars.
C. The application of the infrastructure in self-driving cars.
D. The efficiency of self-driving cars handling emergencies.
【答案】28. C 29．C 30．D 31．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国北卡罗莱纳州立大学的研究人员在最近的一篇论文中指出，交通信号灯可能会增加第四种颜色，以更好地发挥自动驾驶汽车的潜力。文章介绍了第四种颜色的作用以及自动驾驶汽车对交通的影响。
28．细节理解题。根据第三段““The white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them,” one of the study authors Ali Hajbabaie told the university’s website.(该研究的作者之一Ali Hajbabaie在接受该大学网站采访时表示：“白灯会告诉司机，只要跟着前面的车走就行了。”)”可知，交通灯加白灯的目的是告诉人类司机跟上前面的车。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段“The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at a crossing, the faster the traffic moves, reducing about 40 to 99 percent of the total delay time.(自动驾驶车辆在十字路口的比例越高，交通移动速度越快，可以减少大约40%到99%的总延误时间)”可知，自动驾驶汽车的引入会减少堵在路上得时间。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“To begin with, the vehicle’s network that collects data about the environment and shares the data with other vehicles needs to be intelligent. High-precision maps are needed for autonomous vehicles to plan routes in detail. They can provide both updated information on traditional maps and real-time changes, such as accidents.(首先，收集环境数据并与其他车辆共享数据的车辆网络需要是智能的。自动驾驶汽车需要高精度地图来详细规划路线。它们既可以提供传统地图上的最新信息，也可以提供事故等实时变化)”可知，高精度地图在自动驾驶技术中的作用是提供道路状况的实时数据。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“For example, when driving around a curve, the navigation (导航) system in the vehicle needs to calculate the safe speed based on the map’s information. And if the area is foggy, the network has to alarm the other cars to slow down.(例如，当行驶在弯道上时，车内的导航系统需要根据地图上的信息计算出安全速度。如果该地区有雾，网络必须警告其他车辆减速)”可推知，作者想在倒数第二段证明基础设施在自动驾驶汽车中的应用。故选C。
D
Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers (激光) to change the path of a lightning strike. The experiment was carried out on Santis mountain in Switzerland, near a radio and TV tower hit by lightning about 100 times a year. Using a special laser, the researchers were able to guide the lightning strike.
Scientists have been trying to find a way to protect buildings from lightning for a long time. At present, the best way to protect buildings from lightning is by putting metal rods (杆) on the buildings. These rods are connected to the ground. The lightning is attracted to the rods, which safely guide the electricity into the ground. But lightning rods can only protect a small area. If a building is very large, it needs a lot of lightning rods. But some buildings-such as airports-are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods.
Another idea is to use lasers to guide lightning. The idea of using lasers to guide lightning isn’1new. Scientists have been working on the idea for over 20 years. They’ve successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a laboratory. But until 2021, scientists guided lightning with lasers outside. Using a powerful laser that can fire about 1, 000 times a second, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning bolts for 164 feet (50 meters).
The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge. The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod. In the past, experiments with lasers that fired more slowly didn’t work.
Managing to guide the lightning in an outdoor environment is a very big step. But despite the progress, the laser still isn’t a good choice when it comes to protecting large buildings.
32. To stop a building from being stricken by lightning, it is best to__________.
A. equip it with metal rods B. position it away from airports
C. build it on low-lying open ground D. keep it away from any kind of metal
33. What enables the laser to guide the lightning?
A. Its color. B. Its brightness. C. Its speed. D. Its concentration.
34. What will the paragraph following the text probably talk about?
A. How the laser should be improved to protect large buildings.
B. When the laser will be widely used to protect large buildings.
C. Why it is unnecessary to use the laser to protect large buildings.
D. What prevents the laser from being used to protect large buildings.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Find a New Use of the Laser
B. Scientists Guide Lightning with the Laser
C. A New Idea Has Been Tested to Guide Lightning
D. A New Way to Protect Buildings Has Been Found
【答案】32. A33. C34. D35. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了瑞士科学家利用激光改变了雷击的路径。
32.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Scientists have been trying to find a way to protect buildings from lightning for a long time. At present, the best way to protect buildings from lightning is by putting metal rods (杆) on the buildings. (长期以来，科学家们一直在努力寻找一种保护建筑物免受雷击的方法。目前，保护建筑物免受雷击的最好方法是在建筑物上放置金属棒。)”可知，目前保护建筑物免受雷击的最好方法是在建筑物上放置金属棒。故选A。
33.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But until 2021, scientists guided lightning with lasers outside. Using a powerful laser that can fire about 1, 000 times a second, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning bolts for 164 feet (50 meters). (但直到2021年，科学家们都在室外用激光引导闪电。瑞士的科学家们利用一种每秒发射约1000次的强大激光，能够引导164英尺(50米)的闪电。)”可知，激光之所以能够用来引导闪电是因为激光的速度。故选C。
34.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But despite the progress, the laser still isn’t a good choice when it comes to protecting large buildings.(但是，尽管取得了进展，激光在保护大型建筑物方面仍然不是一个好的选择。)”可推断，文章接下来会解释为什么激光不被用于保护大型建筑。故选D。
35.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers (激光) to change the path of a lightning strike. The experiment was carried out on Santis mountain in Switzerland, near a radio and TV tower hit by lightning about 100 times a year. Using a special laser, the researchers were able to guide the lightning strike. (瑞士科学家利用激光改变了雷击的路径。这项实验是在瑞士的桑蒂斯山上进行的，那里靠近一座每年被闪电击中约100次的广播电视塔。使用一种特殊的激光，研究人员能够引导雷击。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了瑞士科学家利用激光引导雷击。所以“Scientists Guide Lightning with the Laser (科学家用激光引导闪电)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。

Virtually, there is nothing that man cannot do. Only what he has to do is keep doing and doing without being discouraged. Success will come someday or other, though it may apparently be the conception about something that it cannot be done. 36 But the reality is that man’s success depends on whether he can do the toughest tasks successfully. It is because our life is complicated and tough. And to succeed in this tough battle, perseverance and hard work are a must 37 . We can prove this fact when we look at the reality of life and the history of man’s success. Perseverance helps us do what we otherwise would consider impossible to do.
What the world-famous scientist Sir Isaac Newton had done by twelve years’ constant hard work was burnt out by his pet dog. But that could not discourage him a little. 38 It is only for his undefeated perseverance that’ we have been able to have many inventions and discoveries.
39 He went through thick and thin to reach his destination after months of the strenuous voyage on the sea. He discovered the way from Spain to America and offered the world a new route of communication with America. This outcome of his perseverance will be generated by the world forever.
All the great men in history have written their names in golden letters by means of perseverance. 40 If we all are perseverant in whatever we do, we are sure to stand out as a successful nation in the near future.
A. Every action has its reaction.
B. It is a unique precondition to success in life.
C. In human life, perseverance plays a very important role.
D. Their success will always remain as perfect examples to us.
E. Columbus has left us an adventurous story of perseverance.

My Own Beat
My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
“What are you doing here? You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!” My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. Even so, it was as if I had no control over my feet. As if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.
Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream.
Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (动来动去) with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me.
“Stephanie? I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said.
People make me nervous. That’s the way I’ve always been. But Mike had a very calm manner about him, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.
“You are fine. I see so much potential in you,” he told me.
Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over. Walking back to my car, I felt full of excitement and energy. I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.
Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment, something just for me. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home to tell my kids about my class. When I stepped into the house, my kids yelled, “Did you do it?” “How was everything going?” Then they saw my excitement and the drumsticks in my hand. They started jumping up and down and then came to hug me. In the following days, I practiced as much as I could and my techniques improved greatly. When I played, I became so focused on the drums that it was as if my expression of who I was came out with every beat and rhythm.
Seeing my devotion and progress, Mike convinced me to play in a concert. When I told my children the news, they felt really happy for me, promising they would go with me. The big day soon came. When waiting for my turn, I felt a little nervous but thinking of my kids helped me to find strength within me. Walking up on the small stage, I breathed deeply and sat at the drum set. When I finished, everyone was clapping and cheering for me. I did it!
