However, while I was only half-listening to the radio broadcast, I was confused that I had heard that report earlier.My older brother, Colin, figured out what was happening. "Pete, it's a tape recorder! We've got our tape recorder!" This was one of those rare moments when my inside gave an involuntary lurch(倾斜).Colin and I had both been blind from birth. In the late 1950s, tape recorders were definitely the top choice for blind kids, especially with the rise of rock 'n' roll.But it wasn't the first time I had been attracted to a tape recorder. I vividly remember walking into a room when I was four and hearing a child's beautiful singing. It turned out that my dad had borrowed a tape recorder for preparing his projects. And for the first time, in the same way that a sighted child might react to seeing themselves in a mirror or a photograph, I got the sense of myself as a separate person who existed outside my head and was experienced by other people.Then I became a broadcaster at school. I would wander around the school with my microphone, recording my thoughts in the style of the voices I heard on the radio, But the biggest challenge was not finding things to do with the tape recorder but taking it away from Colin. His generosity on the first day we got it did not extend to handing it over to his brother at school." You'll break it," he would say.But ten years later, I drew on the confidence gained from those early explorations of the sound and walked into a radio station, in the hopes of selling myself as a broadeast journalist. Eight years later, I presented my first report for BBC's Six O'Clock News, I never thought that a Christmas present had changed my life.4、Why did Uncle Tom probably listen to the news on Christmas morning?
A. To keep up with the times. B. To carry on the holiday tradition.
C.To create a happy festival mood. D. To surprise Colin and the author.5、What did the author feel when first hearing a tape recorder at four?
A. His interest in music. B. His love of broad easting.
C. The real existence of himself. D. An understanding of his father.6、What was the author's biggest challenge as a school broadcaster?
A. Learning the voice style of radio hosts.
B. Getting the tape recorder from Colin.
C. Balancing broadcasting and study.
D. Finding fun things to record.7、What helped build up the author's confidence in becoming a broad east journalist?
A.His experiences of exploring the sound. B. His talent for recording.
C. His father's encouragement. D. His rich broadcasting knowledge.After a year of severe drought, California has seen an abundance of rain since late autumn. Abby Wines ,a ranger(护林员）at Death Valley National Park in southern California, predicted that the heavy rainfall would bring us the opportunity to witness one of nature's most spectacular displays of color and life - a superbloom - in 2023.A superbloom refers to a large amount of wildflower growth that exceeds the average level for a typical spring. It is actually a rare phenomenon that usually takes place in exceptionally wet winters, Seeds that may have slept in desert soil for years finally receive enough water to blossom in more abundant numbers than you would see in a typical year.The sight of the superbloom is truly breathtaking. Fields of gold, orange,and purple flowers streteh as far as the eye can see, creating a blanket of colors that can be seen from space.However, climate change makes the phenomenon increasingly rare. In the distant past, these blooms were often excellent and enormous. As development pushes farther out, more landscapes have been changed to agriculture, and as invasive plants outcompetes the native seedlings, many of California's spring flower fields are disappearing. In addition, thousands of tourists sometimes step on the flowers and soil, which harms the plant's ability to adapt and thrive.Naomi Fraga, director of conservation at the California Botanic Garden, points out that in promoting these locations where massive blooms take place, there isn't a lot of additional information about how these are actually very fragile（脆弱的）ecosystems. Instead of promoting and sharing specific locations, it's important to educate the public about the fragility of the ecosystems and the importance of staying on trails which people are allowed to enter.8、What is the key to a superbloom according to Abby Wines?
A. Desert soil.  B. Warm climate.
C.Sufficient rainfall.  D. High-quality seeds.9、What does the underlined word "exceeds" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Equals to. B.Goes beyond. C.Cuts down. D.Sets up.10、What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Reasons for the superbloom being rare.
B. Factors in plants' adapting to the environment.
C. The relationship between climate and plants growing.
D. The effect of agricultural development on plants flowering.11、What does Naomi Fraga advocate?
A.Promoting local tourism by advertising superblooms.
B.Recommending tourists perfect trails to enjoy a superbloom.
C. Strengthening the management of California Botanic Garden.
D. Leading the public to focus more on the ecological environment.Researchers at North Carolina State University are proposing an additional white traffic light that will act as a sign to human drivers and passengers that they should follow the lead of self-driving vehicles moving through intersections(十字路口).Driving is fundamentally changing. In the future, human drivers will be sharing the road with autonomous vehicles. The transition to autonomous vehicles is progressing with each passing year and humans are no longer the only ones sitting behind an automobile's steering wheel. This makes it urgent for traffic lights with a fourth color to become a reality.The white traffic light would be equipped with wireless Bluetooth technology and would engage when the number of autonomous vehicles driving on the road at any given time exceeds a certain threshold(阀值）.Autonomous vehicles would be in communication with each other and with the traffic lights at intersections, within a certain range. Any human drivers in the mix would be informed to follow the lead of the vehicle in front of them via the white light; stop if it stops, continue if it continues.In simulation models, autonomous vehicles were shown to improve traffic flow on their own. The higher the percentage of autonomous vehicles at an intersection. the faster the traffic moved, with improvements of about 40 to 99 percent in terms of total delay reductions possible.“The white light can be used to coordinate(协调）traffic in any situation involving autonomous vehicles and tells human drivers what's going on, so that they know what they are supposed to do as they approach the intersection," says civil engineer Ali Hajbabaic.As an example, most recently, Tesla's problematic full-self-driving vehicles have been at the forefront of public criticism after a car crashed into a fire truck. Consequently, the potential risks linked to autonomous driving are what made North Carolina State University researchers suggest adding a fourth color to traffic lights in the coming years.12、What does the underlined word "This" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Strict traffic rules.
B.The upgrade of road system.
C. Increasing autonomous vehicles.
D. The high cost of self-driving technology.13、What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the white traffic light?
A. Its signal meaning. B. Its working principle.
C.Its complex database. D. Its potential applications.14、What does Ali Hajbabaie convey in his words?
A.The white traffic light can help improve the flow of traffic.
B.Autonomous vehicles are potential threats to road safety.
C. It is difficult for elderly drivers to adapt to white traffic lights.
D.People had to be trained before driving on the roads with white traffic lights.15、Why does the author mention the example of Tesla in the last paragraph?
A. To stress the popularity of driverless vehicles.
B.To prove the necessity of adding white traffic lights.
C.To call on the public to pay close attention to road safety.
D. To present the hidden dangers of using white traffic lights.二、七选五16、Long before metal oven racks(架子）were invented, many people would place the things that they wanted to bake onto stones to keep them from burning in ovens or even directly on heat. ①_______However, there are actually many applications for its use in baking.Typical baking stones can be made of various materials, and tend to be either round or rectangular in shape. The clay stone is popular, but some people like marble, Some have a shiny surface and others don't have. ②________Some people suggest that heading to the local kitchen supply store to purchase a baking stone is a waste of time and instead they purchase tiles (瓦片) from kitchen or gardening stores. ③_______They may contain high amounts of lead and cooks would need to test them for the presence of lead before using them to cook.④_________Baking stones absorb and keep heat very well, so when you put them in the oven and allow the oven to run for a while, the stones heat up. They transfer heat directly to the bottom of your bread or other goods, as the goods can be placed directly on the stone so they never start out on a cold surface. This allows bread to bake more evenly all over, resulting in a much nicer crust(酥皮）-particularly for artisan bread.There are many benefits of using a baking stone to cook pizza or bread. ⑤________For another, the stone is also praised for its ability to evenly heat the crust and lessen chances that pizza or other bread will burn.
A. The way that baking stones work is simple.
B. Baking stones can be found in all shapes and sizes.
C. For one thing, it tends to produce more desirable qualities.
D. That makes them uniquely useful for many cooking creations.
E. Today, the baking stone is associated most with cooking pizza.
F. So you can choose from a great variety of stones on the market.
G. However, most of these products are not rated for safety in cooking.三、完形填空（15空）Fredric Roi Marquez joined a program to give out food to people at a retirement community.

Li Hua六、读后续写34、Sara, my neighbor, and I were sitting in our yard, chatting, and frowning at the wooden house across the street.Nobody in the neighborhood had met these two young men there yet.The two men had long hair and beards and dressed strangely. They kept to themselves. When they came outside, they never made eye contact with anyone. "They sure don't fit into the neighborhood," Sara said, the corners of her mouth turning down as she stared at that house.Sara said,"What about our street parties? We've always included everyone. Should we invite them?"I sighed, "Try being nice, Sara." Suddenly, Sara sat up straight and her eyes grew wide with curiosity when a government car pulled up before Mrs Swain's house next door. We hurried over. Mrs Swain was recovering from cancer and lived alone. Sara and I tried to keep an eye on her.The man from the car put a piece of paper on Mrs Swain's door and hurriedly left. Mrs Swain looked old, thin, and very tired when she opened the door. We three looked at the paper. It read: "Someone complained your grass' length is against city rules. Please cut it in five days, or you'll be fined."It was a shame that nobody had cut her grass for her. However, Sara and I lived alone, and we were both pregnant. What was worse, we were on a tight budget, and the other families here were on vacation.Sara and I comforted Mrs Swain, telling her we'd figure out a way. Mrs Swain blinked in confusion,"Who would complain? Everyone knows that my old lawn mower is broken. And I've been sick too.” "It may be those two guys across the street,” Sara whispered,angrily staring at that wooden house.Just then, a voice that seemed too gentle to be coming from the strange young man behind me said, "What is going on? Is she alright?" He nodded toward Mrs Swain, Sara looked at him coldly and said, "Some guys reported her because her grass is too high." Her eyes ran over him disapprovingly, but he didn't seem to notice.

Li Hua34、答案：One possible version:The young man and his friend quickly made eye contact and nodded seriously. Then they turned and walked back toward the house. Just then, Mrs Swain's eyes widened in surprise, and we followed her gaze. The two young men were hurrying across the street, one pushing an old lawn mower and the other carrying a weed eater.Without a word,they worked to cut Mrs Swain's grass.In silence, we knew we'd made a big, embarrassing, and silly mistake. We regretted misunderstanding the two kind men, and just stood there awkwardly.Afier they finished the work,Sara and I walked in shame to apologize for judging them. "Forgive us for being rude," we said. They just humorously replied with a joke to get us out of our guilt. Later, Mrs Swain carried juice and homemade cookies to the tired men.Mrs Swain thanked them and offered to pay them. But one man smiled, “We'll keep your grass cut if you keep making juice and cookies for us." That day, we learned a lesson. Never pass judgment on people because they don't look, dress, or sound like you. They may be much better people than you are.
