B
I was brushing my teeth getting ready for bed when the phone rang.
“Lindy, this is Leslie,” she said. “I hope I didn’t catch you sleeping.”
I didn’t know Leslie very well. We had children of similar ages and occasionally spoke with each other at various community events, but to say we were friends was a stretch.
She asked me a most peculiar question “Do you have room for turkeys in your freezer?”
We had lots of room in our freezer. In fact, we had too much room. My husband’s business had taken a downturn and we were pretty much at the bottom of our food supply.
“Sure,” I responded, “Did your freezer break down?”
“Not exactly,” Leslie replied, “but if you will give me directions to your house I will explain when I get there.”
A few minutes later, Leslie stepped down from a huge freezer truck and explained that her husband serviced a small grocery store that had just lost its lease. They had to empty all the freezers before midnight. They thought it was a shame to just throw away all this good food so she began to go through her list of contacts, dropping off food to anyone she could think of who might be willing to take it.
As we started carrying blocks of food to fill our freezer. I asked her. “When will you be coming back for all this?” Leslie just laughed, “We don’t want it back. It is yours to eat, to share to enjoy!”
Then she and her husband climbed back into their truck, waved goodbye and backed down the driveway.
Leslie had no idea that we were in such a tight financial spot that we struggled to buy groceries. It was not something that I shared with anyone. Having plenty of food for my family was a huge stress reliever during a difficult time.
Over the next several months we ate well and shared turkey with friends, family and neighbors. By the time the freezer food finally ran out we were back on our feet.
Yet I always remember that summer night when an acquaintance called. She had a smile in her voice when she asked, “Do you have room for turkeys?”
4. How might the author feel when Leslie called?
A. Surprised. B. Annoyed. C. Depressed. D. Pleased.
5. What does the underlined word “stretch” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Mistake B. Truth C. Overstatement D. Argument
6. What can we infer about Leslie?
A. She needed help to store the frozen food.
B. She knew Lindy was in need of food.
C. She felt relieved to throw away the food.
D. She wanted to put the food to good use.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Room for Turkeys B. A Midnight Visitor
C. Food Delivery D. An Empty Freezer
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了一个经济困难的人获得食物帮助的暖心故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文第三段“I didn’t know Leslie very well. We had children of similar ages and occasionally spoke with each other at various community events, but to say we were friends was a stretch.”（我和莱斯利不太熟。我们有年龄相仿的孩子，偶尔会在各种社区活动中相互交谈，但要说我们是朋友真是夸张了。）可知，此处暗示作者认为凭他俩的交情，接到她的电话是出乎意料的，故选A项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。由该词所在句“I didn’t know Leslie very well. We had children of similar ages and occasionally spoke with each other at various community events，but to say we were friends was a stretch.”（我和莱斯利不太熟。我们有年龄相仿的孩子，偶尔会在各种社区活动中相互交谈，但要说我们是朋友真是__），根据句意，她俩只是偶尔在活动中交谈，并不太熟，谈不上是朋友，所以说是朋友是夸张，故选C项。
6题详解】
推理判断题。由文第八段“They thought it was a shame to just throw away all this good food so she began to go through her list of contacts, dropping off food to anyone she could think of who might be willing to take it.”（他们认为扔掉这些美味的食物是一种耻辱，所以她开始查看自己的联系人名单，把食物送给她能想到的任何愿意吃的人。）可知，她不想浪费食物而是想好好利用它们，故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。由文第四段“She asked me a most peculiar question “Do you have room for turkeys in your freezer?””（她问了我一个最奇怪的问题：“你的冰箱里有放火鸡的空间吗？”）以及文最后一段最后一句“She had a smile in her voice when she asked, “Do you have room for turkeys?””（当她问道：“你有空间放火鸡吗？”）可知，前后呼应，故事起源于一个电话中关于冰箱空间的问题，火鸡也是故事的主要食物，所以短文的最佳标题为“为火鸡腾出空间”。故选A项。
C
This week Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy released a warning about the risks that social media presents to the mental health of children and teenagers. Adolescent mental health has been declining for years, and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame. But experts continue to debate just how much impact they have.
Numerous studies demonstrate that adolescent rates of depression, anxiety and loneliness have skyrocketed in the U. S. and elsewhere since around the time that smartphones and social media became ever-present.
Yet the role social media plays has been widely debated. Some researchers have sounded the alarm, arguing that social media provides the most credible explanation for problems such as enhanced teen loneliness. Other researchers have been sitting on the fence. In 2019 Jeff Hancock founding director of the Social Media Lab at Stanford University, and his colleagues completed an analysis of 226 scientific papers dating back to 2006. They concluded that social media us was associated with a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness.
Some recent studies have attempted to clarify the link between social media and mental health, asking, for instance, whether social media use is causing depression or whether people are being more active on social media because they’re depressed. In an attempt to present evidence, Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist Alexey Makarin and two of his colleagues conducted mental health surveys taken by college students across the country. Their study, published in 2022, found that swollen rates of depression and anxiety, as well as declined academic performance, followed Facebook’s arrival. Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons: students viewed the online profiles of their peers and believed them to “have nicer lives, party more often, have more friends and look better.”
“In total, there’s an increasingly clear picture that, indeed, social media has a negative impact on mental health,” Makarin says. “We are not saying that social media can explain 100 percent of the rise of mental health issues... But it could potentially explain a sizeable portion.”
8. What do we know about social media?
A. It has negative influence on adolescent mental health.
B. It is the leading cause of adolescent depression.
C. It plays an important role in treating mental illness.
D. Its impact on mental health is still unknown.
9. What is Jeff Hancock’s attitude towards social media?
A. Critical. B. Objective C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
10. How does social media cause harm to teenagers according to Makarin?
A. By threatening their academic performance.
B. By presenting them with online profiles.
C. By encouraging them to party more often.
D. By making them feel worse-off than others.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To advocate the harms of social media to teenagers’ mental health.
B. To analyze the causes of worsening adolescent mental health.
C. To present findings on the link between social media and mental health.
D. To propose an effective approach to handling mental illness.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文展示社交媒体与心理健康之间联系的研究结果。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Adolescent mental health has been declining for years, and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame.”（多年来，青少年的心理健康状况一直在下降，越来越多的研究表明，社交媒体平台可能是部分原因）；第二段“Numerous studies demonstrate that adolescent rates of depression, anxiety and loneliness have skyrocketed in the U. S. and elsewhere since around the time that smartphones and social media became ever-present.”（大量研究表明，自从智能手机和社交媒体无处不在以来，美国和其他地方的青少年抑郁、焦虑和孤独的比例急剧上升。）可知，社交媒体对青少年心理健康有负面影响。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“They concluded that social media us was associated with a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness.”（他们得出结论，社交媒体与抑郁和焦虑的轻微增加有关，但也与归属感和联系感的改善有关）可知，Jeff Hancock对社交媒体的态度是客观的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons: students viewed the online profiles of their peers and believed them to “have nicer lives, party more often, have more friends and look better.”（ Makarin说，他们记录的大部分危害来自社会比较：学生们在网上查看同龄人的资料，认为他们“生活得更好，聚会更频繁，朋友更多，看起来更好）可知，Makarin认为，社交媒体让他们觉得自己比别人差，这对青少年的心理健康不利。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Adolescent mental health has been declining for years, and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame. But experts continue to debate just how much impact they have.”（多年来，青少年的心理健康状况一直在下降，越来越多的研究表明，社交媒体平台可能是部分原因。但专家们仍在争论它们到底有多大的影响。）以及下文的说明可知，短文的目的是展示社交媒体与心理健康之间联系的研究结果。故选C项。
D
Drone delivery technology is making huge progress this year as delivery company Zipline announces its latest device that it has been working on since 2014.
The device, known as the Platform 2 (P2) system, could cut delivery times in half and potentially be a new life-saving asset for delivering medical supplies, prescriptions and food.
The build of the P2 Zip consists of a droid (机器人), which is essentially a streamlined box with a hidden propeller (螺旋桨) at the rear. A person sending out a delivery will put the package within the droid, which will then be placed inside the belly of one of Zipline’s P2 Zip drones.
Once the P2 Zip takes off, it flies at a height of approximately 300 feet in the air. The drone can carry up to eight pounds at a time and can travel as far as an out-and-back service distance of 10 miles. Once the drone reaches its destination, a second droid is lowered and uses sensor cameras to detect where to land the package. The recipient of the package can then open the droid to retrieve the package, and the droid is then lifted back up into the drone to continue on its journey back to either charge itself or retrieve another order.
One of the best benefits of this new invention is that it will make delivering packages locally a lot quicker. The drone cannot make long journeys; however, it can certainly make it from your local grocery store to your house and back without an issue.
This could also be a potentially life-saving invention as the company will be cooperating with hospitals and other health care facilities Michigan Medicine and Salt Lake City’s Intermountain Health already plan on using it to deliver prescriptions. It will also be used by some companies to deliver blood and vaccines to remote areas. At the same time, companies like Sweetgreen have also signed on to use the service to deliver food to customers’ homes.
Zipline hopes to have the P2 Zip working and in service in just about a year. The only downside I can imagine is that many other tech companies are working fast to make drone delivery happen, and we may have an issue of drone traffic in the sky before we know it. Until then, we’ll have to see what plans these companies have to limit that issue.
12. What is the P2 Zip according to the text?
A. A delivery company B. A streamlined box
C. A delivery device D. An operational system
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The working process of the device B. The advantages of the device
C. The significance of the device D. The design of the device
14. Which of the following can be inferred about the new invention?
A. It makes it easy to deliver packages across the country
B. It has been used to deliver prescriptions by hospitals
C. It is originally designed to save people’s lives
D. It will still be some time before it comes into use
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the invention?
A. Worried B. Hopeful C. Doubtful D. Indifferent
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了一项新的快递投递设备。
12题详解】
细节理解题。由文首句“Drone delivery technology is making huge progress this year as delivery company Zipline announces its latest device that it has been working on since 2014.”（随着快递公司Zipline宣布其自2014年以来一直在研发的最新设备，无人机快递技术今年取得了巨大进展。）以及第二段首句“The device, known as the Platform 2 (P2) system, could cut delivery times in half and potentially be a new life-saving asset for delivering medical supplies, prescriptions and food.”（该设备被称为平台2（P2）系统，可以将交付时间缩短一半，并有可能成为交付医疗用品、处方和食品的新的救生资产。）可知，P2 Zip为快递设备，故选C项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。由文第四段的“Once the drone reaches its destination, a second droid is lowered and uses sensor cameras to detect where to land the package. The recipient of the package can then open the droid to retrieve the package, and the droid is then lifted back up into the drone to continue on its journey back to either charge itself or retrieve another order.”（一旦无人机到达目的地，第二个机器人就会下降，并使用传感器摄像头检测包裹的降落位置。然后，包裹的接收者可以打开机器人取回包裹，然后机器人被抬回无人机，继续返回，要么自己充电，要么取回另一个订单。）可知，本段主要介绍该设备的工作流程，故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文最后一段第一句“Zipline hopes to have the P2 Zip working and in service in just about a year.”（Zipline希望在大约一年内让P2 Zip投入使用。）可知，距离该设备投入使用还需要一些时间，故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文最后一段“The only downside I can imagine is that many other tech companies are working fast to make drone delivery happen, and we may have an issue of drone traffic in the sky before we know it.”（我能想象的唯一缺点是，许多其他科技公司正在迅速实现无人机交付，而我们可能在不知不觉中就遇到了无人机空中交通的问题。）可知，作者认为该设备是充满希望的，很多公司会投身其中，故选B项。

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。
How to Set Effective Writing Goal
Achievable writing goals require a certain ability to look inwards. You must evaluate where you are in your writing life, where you want to go, and how you work best. But how can you set goals that are realistic, useful, and lead you “confidently in the direction of your dreams”?
Observe your own habits and patterns
____16____. Set writing goals that are useful to you by taking stock of what you know about yourself: what type of writer are you? How do you react emotionally when faced with concrete goals? And when can you realistically squeeze some writing into your schedule?
Just as runners don’t wear hiking boots, writers must set goals that accommodate their personalities and circumstances.
Some goals, like winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, are not really up to us. They’re perfectly valid dreams, but they depend on external factors we can’t control. ____17____
Break your big goals down into smaller milestone
Most projects have several phases containing several milestones along the way. If you ever find you can’t work toward your bigger goal, you can usually assume that your stepping-stone goals aren’t small enough. ____18____
If word counts stress you out, make your goals measurable in other ways: commit to writing X number of days a month, or dedicate X number of hours to your writing every weekend. Measure your progress in a way that requires you to invest time and effort but takes a little pressure off of the outcome
____19____
A wise goal-setter is emotionally prepared for obstacles and can adapt their goals to meet changes in circumstances. ____20____, or you’re dealing with unexpected life events that leave little room for pursuing your writing goals.
Always adjust your goal to fit your new circumstances and stand ready to make changes regardless of the outcome. Any struggle to meet your writing goals shouldn’t result in doubt about whether you’re really a writer or not.
A. Keep working and make changes
B. Be flexible and prepared for obstacles
C. Always break goals down into smaller tasks
D. Each person responds differently to goal-setting
E. So try to avoid such factors in your goal statements
F. It’s not easy to break big goals down into smaller tasks
G. You may find that writing a book takes longer than anticipated
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. C 19. B 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了如何设定可实现的写作目标的方法。
【16题详解】
根据后句“Set writing goals that are useful to you by taking stock of what you know about yourself: what type of writer are you?”（通过评估你对自己的了解，设定对你有用的写作目标：你是什么类型的作家？）可知，此处谈论面对设定目标时如何做，D选项的“Each person responds differently to goal-setting”（每个人对目标设定的应对不同），刚好引出后句，与后句语义逻辑一致，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据前句“They’re perfectly valid dreams, but they depend on external factors we can’t control.”（它们是完全有效的梦想，但它们取决于我们无法控制的外部因素。）可知，此处指出某些不好控制的因素，E选项的“So try to avoid such factors in your goal statements”（所以在你的目标陈述中尽量避免这些因素），前后句存在因果关系，故选E。
18题详解】
根据前句“If you ever find you can’t work toward your bigger goal, you can usually assume that your stepping-stone goals aren’t small enough.”（如果你发现自己无法朝着更大的目标努力，你通常可以认为你的方法目标不够小。）可知，此处指应着眼于小目标，C选项的“Always break goals down into smaller tasks”（总是把目标分解成更小的任务），与前句语义逻辑一致，故选C。
【19题详解】
根据后句“A wise goal-setter is emotionally prepared for obstacles and can adapt their goals to meet changes in circumstances.”（一个明智的目标制定者会在情感上为障碍做好准备，并能调整自己的目标以适应环境的变化。）可知，此处指的是面对障碍，调整适应环境，B选项的“Be flexible and prepared for obstacles”（灵活应对障碍），是对后句的概括，可作为该段小标题，故选B。
【20题详解】
根据前句“A wise goal-setter is emotionally prepared for obstacles and can adapt their goals to meet changes in circumstances.”（一个明智的目标制定者会在情感上为障碍做好准备，并能调整自己的目标以适应环境的变化。）可知，此处指的是面对障碍，调整适应环境，G选项的“You may find that writing a book takes longer than anticipated”（你可能会发现写一本书的时间比预期的要长），刚好是关于障碍和调整的具体例子，与前句语义逻辑一致且与下文“you’re dealing with unexpected life events that leave little room for pursuing your writing goals.”（你正在处理意想不到的生活事件，没有多少空间去追求你的写作目标。）为并列关关系，故选G。

第二节(满分25分)
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I feel so alone. And cold. And tired,” I announced to the empty train platform. I glanced at my watch. It was midnight. Why had I decided to travel from Prague to Interlaken without staying somewhere along the way for a day or two? The chill in my bones on that March morning in Switzerland made me question the wisdom of making the eighteen-hour trip via three separate trains.
I was wrapping up a solo-backpacking trip across Europe during my three-week vacation. I wanted to get in as much sightseeing as possible since it was my first time in Europe. By the end of my journey, I was weary of hauling the souvenirs I had purchased and sleeping in large hostel dorm rooms.
“What I wouldn’t give for a hot bath, clean clothes, and a soft bed right now. Or even just someone to talk to.” It felt a little weird speaking to the vacant station, but doing so was preventing me from falling asleep, which was important for safety reasons.
Since I still had a couple of hours before my train arrived, I tried to think of something to fill the time. I was too exhausted to read or journal.
Looking around on the hard wooden bench I saw only vacant tracks, dark rail cars, and electronic signs with no incoming trains to announce. Most of the train cars were modern, but one series of cars caught my eye. It was the legendary Orient Express.
The dining car probably served phenomenal meals and had white tablecloths with cloth napkins. The sleepers were likely cozy and comfortable with private bathrooms that had lovely-scented soaps and shampoo.
A sigh escaped my lips. I returned my gaze to the empty tracks in front of me, daydreams of the Orient Express streaming through my mind.
One such dream was interrupted by a squeak and then a slam. I tensed and looked over my shoulder, wondering who else would be on the platform.
There stepping down from the Orient Express was a man wearing a blue uniform walking toward me. He held a single, blood red rose. I puzzled as to what a train conductor would do with a flower at that time of night.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Yet he came to a stop beside the bench and handed me the flower.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Words failed me when I reached out and accepted the flower.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Yet he came to a stop beside the bench and handed me the flower. Surprised and confused, I was pretty sure that I had never seen this man before. So I explained to him that he must have mistaken me for someone else. But the man was still holding the flower. “I happened to look out the window while I was working on the Orient, and saw you sitting here all alone.” he said. “You looked so lonely and cold, so I couldn’t help but think you needed something to lift your spirits.” Looking up at him, I saw a gentle smile displayed on his lips. A current of warmth swept through my cold body, making everything seem much more cheerful.
Words failed me while I reached out and accepted the flower. Holding it delicately with my hands that were no longer stiff from the cold, I was choking with emotions, unable to find proper words to show how grateful I was at that moment. The man nodded understandingly before he turned around and headed back towards the train. My mind was so caught up in replaying the random act of kindness that the remainder of my wait at the station passed without notice. I carried the rose with me for the rest of the journey, which reminded me of the angel who surprised me in a deserted train station in the middle of the night, and how his kindness lifted my spirits while replacing my loneliness with joy.

I was brushing my teeth getting ready for bed when the phone rang.
“Lindy, this is Leslie,” she said. “I hope I didn’t catch you sleeping.”
I didn’t know Leslie very well. We had children of similar ages and occasionally spoke with each other at various community events, but to say we were friends was a stretch.
She asked me a most peculiar question “Do you have room for turkeys in your freezer?”
We had lots of room in our freezer. In fact, we had too much room. My husband’s business had taken a downturn and we were pretty much at the bottom of our food supply.
“Sure,” I responded, “Did your freezer break down?”
“Not exactly,” Leslie replied, “but if you will give me directions to your house I will explain when I get there.”
A few minutes later, Leslie stepped down from a huge freezer truck and explained that her husband serviced a small grocery store that had just lost its lease. They had to empty all the freezers before midnight. They thought it was a shame to just throw away all this good food so she began to go through her list of contacts, dropping off food to anyone she could think of who might be willing to take it.
As we started carrying blocks of food to fill our freezer. I asked her. “When will you be coming back for all this?” Leslie just laughed, “We don’t want it back. It is yours to eat, to share to enjoy!”
Then she and her husband climbed back into their truck, waved goodbye and backed down the driveway.
Leslie had no idea that we were in such a tight financial spot that we struggled to buy groceries. It was not something that I shared with anyone. Having plenty of food for my family was a huge stress reliever during a difficult time.
Over the next several months we ate well and shared turkey with friends, family and neighbors. By the time the freezer food finally ran out we were back on our feet.
Yet I always remember that summer night when an acquaintance called. She had a smile in her voice when she asked, “Do you have room for turkeys?”
4. How might the author feel when Leslie called?
A. Surprised. B. Annoyed. C. Depressed. D. Pleased.
5. What does the underlined word “stretch” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Mistake B. Truth C. Overstatement D. Argument

C. She felt relieved to throw away the food.
D. She wanted to put the food to good use.

This week Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy released a warning about the risks that social media presents to the mental health of children and teenagers. Adolescent mental health has been declining for years, and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame. But experts continue to debate just how much impact they have.
Numerous studies demonstrate that adolescent rates of depression, anxiety and loneliness have skyrocketed in the U. S. and elsewhere since around the time that smartphones and social media became ever-present.
Yet the role social media plays has been widely debated. Some researchers have sounded the alarm, arguing that social media provides the most credible explanation for problems such as enhanced teen loneliness. Other researchers have been sitting on the fence. In 2019 Jeff Hancock founding director of the Social Media Lab at Stanford University, and his colleagues completed an analysis of 226 scientific papers dating back to 2006. They concluded that social media us was associated with a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness.
Some recent studies have attempted to clarify the link between social media and mental health, asking, for instance, whether social media use is causing depression or whether people are being more active on social media because they’re depressed. In an attempt to present evidence, Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist Alexey Makarin and two of his colleagues conducted mental health surveys taken by college students across the country. Their study, published in 2022, found that swollen rates of depression and anxiety, as well as declined academic performance, followed Facebook’s arrival. Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons: students viewed the online profiles of their peers and believed them to “have nicer lives, party more often, have more friends and look better.”
“In total, there’s an increasingly clear picture that, indeed, social media has a negative impact on mental health,” Makarin says. “We are not saying that social media can explain 100 percent of the rise of mental health issues... But it could potentially explain a sizeable portion.”
8. What do we know about social media?
A. It has negative influence on adolescent mental health.
B. It is the leading cause of adolescent depression.
C. It plays an important role in treating mental illness.
D. Its impact on mental health is still unknown.
9. What is Jeff Hancock’s attitude towards social media?
A. Critical. B. Objective C. Favorable. D. Indifferent.
10. How does social media cause harm to teenagers according to Makarin?
A. By threatening their academic performance.
B. By presenting them with online profiles.
C. By encouraging them to party more often.
D. By making them feel worse-off than others.
11. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To advocate the harms of social media to teenagers’ mental health.
B. To analyze the causes of worsening adolescent mental health.
C. To present findings on the link between social media and mental health.
D. To propose an effective approach to handling mental illness.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C

Drone delivery technology is making huge progress this year as delivery company Zipline announces its latest device that it has been working on since 2014.
The device, known as the Platform 2 (P2) system, could cut delivery times in half and potentially be a new life-saving asset for delivering medical supplies, prescriptions and food.
The build of the P2 Zip consists of a droid (机器人), which is essentially a streamlined box with a hidden propeller (螺旋桨) at the rear. A person sending out a delivery will put the package within the droid, which will then be placed inside the belly of one of Zipline’s P2 Zip drones.
Once the P2 Zip takes off, it flies at a height of approximately 300 feet in the air. The drone can carry up to eight pounds at a time and can travel as far as an out-and-back service distance of 10 miles. Once the drone reaches its destination, a second droid is lowered and uses sensor cameras to detect where to land the package. The recipient of the package can then open the droid to retrieve the package, and the droid is then lifted back up into the drone to continue on its journey back to either charge itself or retrieve another order.
One of the best benefits of this new invention is that it will make delivering packages locally a lot quicker. The drone cannot make long journeys; however, it can certainly make it from your local grocery store to your house and back without an issue.
This could also be a potentially life-saving invention as the company will be cooperating with hospitals and other health care facilities Michigan Medicine and Salt Lake City’s Intermountain Health already plan on using it to deliver prescriptions. It will also be used by some companies to deliver blood and vaccines to remote areas. At the same time, companies like Sweetgreen have also signed on to use the service to deliver food to customers’ homes.
Zipline hopes to have the P2 Zip working and in service in just about a year. The only downside I can imagine is that many other tech companies are working fast to make drone delivery happen, and we may have an issue of drone traffic in the sky before we know it. Until then, we’ll have to see what plans these companies have to limit that issue.
12. What is the P2 Zip according to the text?
A. A delivery company B. A streamlined box
C. A delivery device D. An operational system
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The working process of the device B. The advantages of the device
C. The significance of the device D. The design of the device
14. Which of the following can be inferred about the new invention?
A. It makes it easy to deliver packages across the country
B. It has been used to deliver prescriptions by hospitals
C. It is originally designed to save people’s lives
D. It will still be some time before it comes into use
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the invention?
A. Worried B. Hopeful C. Doubtful D. Indifferent
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】

How to Set Effective Writing Goal
Achievable writing goals require a certain ability to look inwards. You must evaluate where you are in your writing life, where you want to go, and how you work best. But how can you set goals that are realistic, useful, and lead you “confidently in the direction of your dreams”?
Observe your own habits and patterns
____16____. Set writing goals that are useful to you by taking stock of what you know about yourself: what type of writer are you? How do you react emotionally when faced with concrete goals? And when can you realistically squeeze some writing into your schedule?
Just as runners don’t wear hiking boots, writers must set goals that accommodate their personalities and circumstances.
Some goals, like winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, are not really up to us. They’re perfectly valid dreams, but they depend on external factors we can’t control. ____17____
Break your big goals down into smaller milestone
Most projects have several phases containing several milestones along the way. If you ever find you can’t work toward your bigger goal, you can usually assume that your stepping-stone goals aren’t small enough. ____18____
If word counts stress you out, make your goals measurable in other ways: commit to writing X number of days a month, or dedicate X number of hours to your writing every weekend. Measure your progress in a way that requires you to invest time and effort but takes a little pressure off of the outcome
____19____
A wise goal-setter is emotionally prepared for obstacles and can adapt their goals to meet changes in circumstances. ____20____, or you’re dealing with unexpected life events that leave little room for pursuing your writing goals.
Always adjust your goal to fit your new circumstances and stand ready to make changes regardless of the outcome. Any struggle to meet your writing goals shouldn’t result in doubt about whether you’re really a writer or not.
A. Keep working and make changes
B. Be flexible and prepared for obstacles
C. Always break goals down into smaller tasks
D. Each person responds differently to goal-setting
E. So try to avoid such factors in your goal statements

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了重庆的单轨列车的特点。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：单轨列车已经存在了一个多世纪，在世界各地都可以找到这样的例子，但它们从来没有完全实现其早期倡导者的未来主义承诺。根据句意可知，前后文为转折关系。故填but。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：也就是说，在一些地方，单轨列车提供的独特特点非常适合他们的环境。quality是主语，根据“are”可知，主语quality用复数形式。故填qualities。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：重庆是中国西南部的一个特大城市，拥有世界上最长和最繁忙的单轨铁路系统之一，两条总长61英里的高容量“跨梁”线路每年运送数百万乘客。分析句子可知，which引导定语从句，先行词为a megacity，作定语从句的主语，是单数，be located in“位于”是固定用法，此处陈述事实，为一般现在时。故填is located。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：重庆是中国西南部的一个特大城市，拥有世界上最长和最繁忙的单轨铁路系统之一，两条总长61英里的高容量“跨梁”线路每年运送数百万乘客。分析句子可知，空处为非谓语动词作定语，lines与total为主动关系，用现在分词。故填totaling。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：3号线全长34英里多一点，也是世界上最长的单轨铁路，年客流量约为2.5亿人次。根据句意可知，空处填介词with，表示伴随。故填with。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这两条线路于2005年至2016年投入运营，共有70个车站，包括地下和高架路段。分析句子可知，空处为状语，the two lines与put为被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填Put。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：众所周知，2号线的一段线路穿过了一座高层公寓楼的中心。副词作状语，修饰句子，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Famously。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：早在20世纪90年代，重庆独特的地理位置，人口稠密的山区高原与长江和嘉陵江流域之间的海拔差异极大，迫使重庆交通部门寻求替代传统地铁的交通方式。空处为谓语动词，根据Back in the 1990s可知，本句为一般过去时。故填forced。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：早在20世纪90年代，重庆独特的地理位置，人口稠密的山区高原与长江和嘉陵江流域之间的海拔差异极大，迫使重庆交通部门寻求一种替代传统地铁的交通方式。泛指“一种替代传统地铁的交通方式”，用冠词且alternative首字母的发音为元音音素。填an。
【45题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：单轨铁路在陡峭的爬坡和急转弯方面的能力使其成为这个特大城市需要改造其公共交通系统的理想解决方案。capacity to do sth “做某事的能力”，用不定式作后置定语。故填to negotiate。

第二节(满分25分)
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I feel so alone. And cold. And tired,” I announced to the empty train platform. I glanced at my watch. It was midnight. Why had I decided to travel from Prague to Interlaken without staying somewhere along the way for a day or two? The chill in my bones on that March morning in Switzerland made me question the wisdom of making the eighteen-hour trip via three separate trains.
I was wrapping up a solo-backpacking trip across Europe during my three-week vacation. I wanted to get in as much sightseeing as possible since it was my first time in Europe. By the end of my journey, I was weary of hauling the souvenirs I had purchased and sleeping in large hostel dorm rooms.
“What I wouldn’t give for a hot bath, clean clothes, and a soft bed right now. Or even just someone to talk to.” It felt a little weird speaking to the vacant station, but doing so was preventing me from falling asleep, which was important for safety reasons.
Since I still had a couple of hours before my train arrived, I tried to think of something to fill the time. I was too exhausted to read or journal.
Looking around on the hard wooden bench I saw only vacant tracks, dark rail cars, and electronic signs with no incoming trains to announce. Most of the train cars were modern, but one series of cars caught my eye. It was the legendary Orient Express.
The dining car probably served phenomenal meals and had white tablecloths with cloth napkins. The sleepers were likely cozy and comfortable with private bathrooms that had lovely-scented soaps and shampoo.
A sigh escaped my lips. I returned my gaze to the empty tracks in front of me, daydreams of the Orient Express streaming through my mind.
One such dream was interrupted by a squeak and then a slam. I tensed and looked over my shoulder, wondering who else would be on the platform.
There stepping down from the Orient Express was a man wearing a blue uniform walking toward me. He held a single, blood red rose. I puzzled as to what a train conductor would do with a flower at that time of night.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Yet he came to a stop beside the bench and handed me the flower.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Words failed me when I reached out and accepted the flower.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Yet he came to a stop beside the bench and handed me the flower. Surprised and confused, I was pretty sure that I had never seen this man before. So I explained to him that he must have mistaken me for someone else. But the man was still holding the flower. “I happened to look out the window while I was working on the Orient, and saw you sitting here all alone.” he said. “You looked so lonely and cold, so I couldn’t help but think you needed something to lift your spirits.” Looking up at him, I saw a gentle smile displayed on his lips. A current of warmth swept through my cold body, making everything seem much more cheerful.
Words failed me while I reached out and accepted the flower. Holding it delicately with my hands that were no longer stiff from the cold, I was choking with emotions, unable to find proper words to show how grateful I was at that moment. The man nodded understandingly before he turned around and headed back towards the train. My mind was so caught up in replaying the random act of kindness that the remainder of my wait at the station passed without notice. I carried the rose with me for the rest of the journey, which reminded me of the angel who surprised me in a deserted train station in the middle of the night, and how his kindness lifted my spirits while replacing my loneliness with joy.
