【解析】
【原文】M: There are studies shwing that sleeping is nt simply a matter f giving the bdy a rest. The bdy is self-repairing and self-recvering t a degree n matter a persn is sleeping r nt. In fact, a basic amunt f mvement ccurs during sleep in rder t make muscle active. There are als tw ther researches abut this. First, a research shws that while there is a change in the brain during sleep, there is n evidence that the ttal amunt f activities f the brain is any less. The secnd factr is mre interesting. Sme years ag an experiment dealing with the recrding f eye-mvements during sleep shwed that the average human’s sleep cycle is with eye-mvements, sme slw, thers rapid. Peple wken during the perids f eye-mvements generally reprted that they had been dreaming. When wken at ther times they reprted n dreams. If ne grup f peple were disturbed frm their eye-mvement sleep fr several nights n end, and anther grup were disturbed fr an equal perid f time but when they were n eye-mvements, the first grup began t shw sme abnrmal behavirs while the thers seemed unaffected. All this suggests that it was nt the disturbance f sleep that mattered, but the disturbance f dreaming.

“I want them t just have the memry f making it thrugh, succeeding in a place like that and expressing a stry that leaves that place better,” Anna says.
That better place begins in rm 161 when unsure and nervus students enter fr the first time.

【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段前四句“Debate tests the teenage character perhaps mre than any ther activity. The shy and the unsure ften have n desire t lk up frm their screens and engage in the ldest human interactin: persuasive ral arguments. It’s dreadful territry fr the average teenager. Research, writing, delivering a speech in frnt f yur peers, it all sunds like the kind f class students wuld be mst likely t skip.(辩论也许比任何其他活动都更能考验青少年的性格。害羞和不确定的人通常不想从他们的屏幕上抬起头来参与最古老的人类互动：有说服力的口头辩论。对于普通青少年来说，这是一个可怕的领域。研究、写作、在同龄人面前发表演讲，这些听起来都是学生最有可能跳过的课程。)”可知，第二段主要是讲辩论对青少年的挑战性。故选A。
【25题详解】

Electric air taxis culd ne day mve cmmuters(通勤者) frm dwntwn Chicag t O’ HareInternatinal Airprt r t the suburbs, high abve expressway traffic, in a fractin f the time it takes t drive.
That’s the visin f electric aircraft develper Eve, which is leading a grup f aviatin cmpanies and lcal gvernments cnducting simulatins(模拟) in Chicag. Thugh the aircraft are likely years away frm receiving federal authrizatin t fly, it’s a visin shared by ther majr cmpanies, like Chicag-based United Airlines, which recently struck a cnditinal agreement t purchase at least 200 f Eve’s flying taxis.
Eve c-CEO Andre Stein said the air taxis are nthing like electric helicpters r flying cars. They will use eight mtrs distributed arund the aircraft t take ff vertically, then electric pushers and wings t glide frward.
Stein envisins the air taxis helping cmmuters reach meetings acrss twn r prviding a way t get hme quickly in time fr a child’s birthday. Rather than an everyday ptin like cmmuter rail r public transprt, they can help save time in urgent situatins, he said.
The cncept f bypassing grund transprtatin by air isn’t new. Helicpter taxi service already exists in cities like New Yrk, where a flight can smetimes be cmparable t r cheaper than the cst f a ride-share frm an airprt int Manhattan.
But Stein said the new technlgy is expected t make air taxis mre affrdable than helicpters and estimated a pssible ticket price culd be arund $100 t travel 20 miles. He als mentined what he described as imprved efficiency and sustainability.
“It’s much simpler, much lwer maintenance than a helicpter, much quieter and mre pleasant,” he said.
Fr nw, Eve hpes the Chicag simulatins will help prvide a better understanding f hw the air taxis culd fit int current air traffic patterns and hw they can cnnect with users’ jurneys via grund transprtatin t the heliprt.
“It’s really abut bringing anther ptin fr urban air mbility,” Stein said.
28. Which statement is true abut electric air taxis?
A. It’s a brand new innvative attempt t relieve the traffic jam.
B. Gvernment’s apprval fr the fficial flights has nt been granted.
C. Helicpter taxi service in New Yrk is cheaper than the cst f a car ride.
D. Sme majr cmpanies have prmised t buy Eve’s flying taxis withut strings attached.
29. What des the underlined wrd “bypass” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Avid.B. Cnduct.C. Restrict.D. Cntrl.
30. Which ne is NOT air taxis’ ptential advantage ver helicpters accrding t Andre Stein?
A. Mre affrdable price.B. Better flight experience.
C. Lwer prductin cst.D. Imprved envirnmental friendliness.
31. What’s the purpse f the n-ging aircraft simulatins in Chicag?
A. T ppularize the new pattern f air traffic.
B. T prmte the sales f the electric air taxis.
C. T replace cmmuter rails and public transprtatin.
D. T integrate electric air taxis int existing urban traffic mde.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍空中出租车并对其前景展望。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Thugh the aircraft are likely years away frm receiving federal authrizatin t fly, it’s a visin shared by ther majr cmpanies, like Chicag-based United Airlines, which recently struck a cnditinal agreement t purchase at least 200 f Eve’s flying taxis.(尽管这架飞机距离获得联邦飞行授权可能还有几年的时间，但其他大公司也有同样的愿景，比如总部位于芝加哥的联合航空公司，该公司最近达成了一项有条件的协议，将购买至少200辆伊芙的飞行出租车。)”可知，官方对航班的授权尚未得到批准。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第五段“The cncept f bypassing grund transprtatin by air isn’t new. Helicpter taxi service already exists in cities like New Yrk, where a flight can smetimes be cmparable t r cheaper than the cst f a ride-share frm an airprt int Manhattan.(通过空运 地面运输的概念并不新鲜。直升机出租车服务已经在纽约等城市存在，在那里，航班有时可以与从机场到曼哈顿的拼车费用相当或便宜。)”可以推测，bypassing应该表示“绕过，避免”的意思。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第六段“But Stein said the new technlgy is expected t make air taxis mre affrdable than helicpters and estimated a pssible ticket price culd be arund $100 t travel 20 miles. He als mentined what he described as imprved efficiency and sustainability.(但斯坦因表示，这项新技术预计将使空中出租车比直升机更实惠，并估计行驶20英里的票价可能在100美元左右。他还提到了他所说的效率和可持续性的提高。)”以及第七段“It’s much simpler, much lwer maintenance than a helicpter, much quieter and mre pleasant(它比直升机简单得多，维护成本低得多，更安静、更舒适)”可知，与直升机比，坐空中出租车更便宜，更好的飞行体验并且更环保，而文章没有提到生产成本。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Fr nw, Eve hpes the Chicag simulatins will help prvide a better understanding f hw the air taxis culd fit int current air traffic patterns and hw they can cnnect with users’ jurneys via grund transprtatin t the heliprt.(目前，伊芙希望芝加哥的模拟将有助于更好地了解空中出租车如何适应当前的空中交通模式，以及它们如何通过地面运输与用户的旅程连接到直升机场。)”可知，芝加哥正在进行的飞机模拟是为了将电动空中出租车整合到现有的城市交通模式中。故选D项。

Scientists have cnfirmed that fssilized ftprints fund in New Mexic are between 21,000 and 23,000 years ld — meaning humans existed in Nrth America much earlier than previusly believed.
It was believed humans existed in Nrth America smewhere between 13,500 and 16,000 years ag. S, were the prints — sme f which lk distinctly human with five tes — really between 21,000 and 23,000 years ld?
Researchers frm the U. S. Gelgical Survey (USGS) and ther scientists decided t d a fllw-up study, using tw new appraches t determine the age f the prints.
“The immediate reactin in sme circles f the archelgical (考古的) cmmunity was that the accuracy f ur dating was insufficient t make the extrardinary claim that humans were present in Nrth America during the Last Glacial Maximum,” said c-authr f the new study, Jeff Pigati, a USGS research gelgist. “But ur targeted methdlgy in this current research really paid ff.”
The scientists initially used seeds frm the Ruppia cirrhsa plant fund in the fssils. They used radicarbn dating t determine the age f the seeds, but because the plants are aquatic (水生的) and can hld carbn frm the water instead f the air, the age estimate culd have been ff.
S, in the new study, they used radicarbn dating n cnifer pllen, which cmes frm plants n earth, that were fund in the same layers as the seeds. “Even as the riginal wrk was being published, we were pushing frward t test ur results with multiple lines f evidence,” said c-authr Kathleen Springer, a USGS research gelgist. “We were cnfident in ur riginal ages, but we knew that independent time-related cntrl was critical.” The researchers had t islate 75,000 pllen grains frm the same layer and fund that their age was statistically identical t the Ruppia cirrhsa seeds.
T further check their dating, they als tested quartz grains fund in the ftprints using a different dating prcess, ptically stimulated luminescence. They fund the quartz had a minimum age f abut 21,500 years.
USGS says with three supprting pieces f evidence, it is unlikely the age range f 21,000 t 23,000 years is incrrect.
32. What can be learned abut the newly fund fssils?
A. They cntain diverse sea plants.
B. Mst f them lk like humans’ ftprints.
C. They date bake t the Last Glacial Maximum.
D. They will bring abut grund-breaking discveries.
33. Why did the scientists use cnifer pllen fr dating in the fllw-up study?
A. T imprve dating accuracy.B. T remve the public dubts.
C. T prve the previus assumptin.D. T test the mst advanced apprach.
34. What was Kathleen’s attitude tward their previus findings abut the ftprints?

【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一直在为八十多岁的Riley太太工作，照顾她的日常生活。Riley太太有一只美丽的金丝雀Sam，是作者梦寐以求的，作者也在为了今后买一只自己的金丝雀而努力存钱。有一天，Riley太太生病了，她提出无法负担作者的工资，不再需要她为她工作了，作者为此辗转反侧，但是第二天仍然去照顾Riley太太。于是，Riley提出可以用Sam作为工资支付给她。作者虽然很心动，但考虑到Riley孤单一人，无人照料，拒绝了Riley的提议，不仅没有带走Sam，还无偿地一直既往地为Riley太太工作。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然而，那天晚上我一直想着我的金丝雀和Riley太太。”可知，第一段可描写作者晚上的思想活动，最终她第二天又一如既往地去了Riley太太家工作。

In fact, a basic amunt f mvement ccurs during sleep in rder t make muscle active. There are als tw ther researches abut this. First, a research shws that while there is a change in the brain during sleep, there is n evidence that the ttal amunt f activities f the brain is any less. The secnd factr is mre interesting. Sme years ag an experiment dealing with the recrding f eye-mvements during sleep shwed that the average human’s sleep cycle is with eye-mvements, sme slw, thers rapid. Peple wken during the perids f eye-mvements generally reprted that they had been dreaming. When wken at ther times they reprted n dreams.

主旨大意题。根据第二段前四句“Debate tests the teenage character perhaps mre than any ther activity. The shy and the unsure ften have n desire t lk up frm their screens and engage in the ldest human interactin: persuasive ral arguments. It’s dreadful territry fr the average teenager. Research, writing, delivering a speech in frnt f yur peers, it all sunds like the kind f class students wuld be mst likely t skip.(辩论也许比任何其他活动都更能考验青少年的性格。害羞和不确定的人通常不想从他们的屏幕上抬起头来参与最古老的人类互动：有说服力的口头辩论。对于普通青少年来说，这是一个可怕的领域。研究、写作、在同龄人面前发表演讲，这些听起来都是学生最有可能跳过的课程。)”可知，第二段主要是讲辩论对青少年的挑战性。故选A。

Electric air taxis culd ne day mve cmmuters(通勤者) frm dwntwn Chicag t O’ HareInternatinal Airprt r t the suburbs, high abve expressway traffic, in a fractin f the time it takes t drive.
That’s the visin f electric aircraft develper Eve, which is leading a grup f aviatin cmpanies and lcal gvernments cnducting simulatins(模拟) in Chicag. Thugh the aircraft are likely years away frm receiving federal authrizatin t fly, it’s a visin shared by ther majr cmpanies, like Chicag-based United Airlines, which recently struck a cnditinal agreement t purchase at least 200 f Eve’s flying taxis.
Eve c-CEO Andre Stein said the air taxis are nthing like electric helicpters r flying cars. They will use eight mtrs distributed arund the aircraft t take ff vertically, then electric pushers and wings t glide frward.
Stein envisins the air taxis helping cmmuters reach meetings acrss twn r prviding a way t get hme quickly in time fr a child’s birthday. Rather than an everyday ptin like cmmuter rail r public transprt, they can help save time in urgent situatins, he said.
The cncept f bypassing grund transprtatin by air isn’t new. Helicpter taxi service already exists in cities like New Yrk, where a flight can smetimes be cmparable t r cheaper than the cst f a ride-share frm an airprt int Manhattan.
But Stein said the new technlgy is expected t make air taxis mre affrdable than helicpters and estimated a pssible ticket price culd be arund $100 t travel 20 miles. He als mentined what he described as imprved efficiency and sustainability.
“It’s much simpler, much lwer maintenance than a helicpter, much quieter and mre pleasant,” he said.
Fr nw, Eve hpes the Chicag simulatins will help prvide a better understanding f hw the air taxis culd fit int current air traffic patterns and hw they can cnnect with users’ jurneys via grund transprtatin t the heliprt.
“It’s really abut bringing anther ptin fr urban air mbility,” Stein said.
28. Which statement is true abut electric air taxis?
A. It’s a brand new innvative attempt t relieve the traffic jam.
B. Gvernment’s apprval fr the fficial flights has nt been granted.
C. Helicpter taxi service in New Yrk is cheaper than the cst f a car ride.
D. Sme majr cmpanies have prmised t buy Eve’s flying taxis withut strings attached.
29. What des the underlined wrd “bypass” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Avid.B. Cnduct.C. Restrict.D. Cntrl.
30. Which ne is NOT air taxis’ ptential advantage ver helicpters accrding t Andre Stein?
A. Mre affrdable price.B. Better flight experience.
C. Lwer prductin cst.D. Imprved envirnmental friendliness.
31. What’s the purpse f the n-ging aircraft simulatins in Chicag?
A. T ppularize the new pattern f air traffic.
B. T prmte the sales f the electric air taxis.
C. T replace cmmuter rails and public transprtatin.
D. T integrate electric air taxis int existing urban traffic mde.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍空中出租车并对其前景展望。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Thugh the aircraft are likely years away frm receiving federal authrizatin t fly, it’s a visin shared by ther majr cmpanies, like Chicag-based United Airlines, which recently struck a cnditinal agreement t purchase at least 200 f Eve’s flying taxis.(尽管这架飞机距离获得联邦飞行授权可能还有几年的时间，但其他大公司也有同样的愿景，比如总部位于芝加哥的联合航空公司，该公司最近达成了一项有条件的协议，将购买至少200辆伊芙的飞行出租车。)”可知，官方对航班的授权尚未得到批准。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第五段“The cncept f bypassing grund transprtatin by air isn’t new. Helicpter taxi service already exists in cities like New Yrk, where a flight can smetimes be cmparable t r cheaper than the cst f a ride-share frm an airprt int Manhattan.(通过空运 地面运输的概念并不新鲜。直升机出租车服务已经在纽约等城市存在，在那里，航班有时可以与从机场到曼哈顿的拼车费用相当或便宜。)”可以推测，bypassing应该表示“绕过，避免”的意思。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第六段“But Stein said the new technlgy is expected t make air taxis mre affrdable than helicpters and estimated a pssible ticket price culd be arund $100 t travel 20 miles. He als mentined what he described as imprved efficiency and sustainability.(但斯坦因表示，这项新技术预计将使空中出租车比直升机更实惠，并估计行驶20英里的票价可能在100美元左右。他还提到了他所说的效率和可持续性的提高。)”以及第七段“It’s much simpler, much lwer maintenance than a helicpter, much quieter and mre pleasant(它比直升机简单得多，维护成本低得多，更安静、更舒适)”可知，与直升机比，坐空中出租车更便宜，更好的飞行体验并且更环保，而文章没有提到生产成本。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Fr nw, Eve hpes the Chicag simulatins will help prvide a better understanding f hw the air taxis culd fit int current air traffic patterns and hw they can cnnect with users’ jurneys via grund transprtatin t the heliprt.(目前，伊芙希望芝加哥的模拟将有助于更好地了解空中出租车如何适应当前的空中交通模式，以及它们如何通过地面运输与用户的旅程连接到直升机场。)”可知，芝加哥正在进行的飞机模拟是为了将电动空中出租车整合到现有的城市交通模式中。故选D项。

Scientists have cnfirmed that fssilized ftprints fund in New Mexic are between 21,000 and 23,000 years ld — meaning humans existed in Nrth America much earlier than previusly believed.
It was believed humans existed in Nrth America smewhere between 13,500 and 16,000 years ag. S, were the prints — sme f which lk distinctly human with five tes — really between 21,000 and 23,000 years ld?
Researchers frm the U. S. Gelgical Survey (USGS) and ther scientists decided t d a fllw-up study, using tw new appraches t determine the age f the prints.
“The immediate reactin in sme circles f the archelgical (考古的) cmmunity was that the accuracy f ur dating was insufficient t make the extrardinary claim that humans were present in Nrth America during the Last Glacial Maximum,” said c-authr f the new study, Jeff Pigati, a USGS research gelgist. “But ur targeted methdlgy in this current research really paid ff.”
The scientists initially used seeds frm the Ruppia cirrhsa plant fund in the fssils. They used radicarbn dating t determine the age f the seeds, but because the plants are aquatic (水生的) and can hld carbn frm the water instead f the air, the age estimate culd have been ff.
S, in the new study, they used radicarbn dating n cnifer pllen, which cmes frm plants n earth, that were fund in the same layers as the seeds. “Even as the riginal wrk was being published, we were pushing frward t test ur results with multiple lines f evidence,” said c-authr Kathleen Springer, a USGS research gelgist. “We were cnfident in ur riginal ages, but we knew that independent time-related cntrl was critical.” The researchers had t islate 75,000 pllen grains frm the same layer and fund that their age was statistically identical t the Ruppia cirrhsa seeds.
T further check their dating, they als tested quartz grains fund in the ftprints using a different dating prcess, ptically stimulated luminescence. They fund the quartz had a minimum age f abut 21,500 years.
USGS says with three supprting pieces f evidence, it is unlikely the age range f 21,000 t 23,000 years is incrrect.
32. What can be learned abut the newly fund fssils?
A. They cntain diverse sea plants.
B. Mst f them lk like humans’ ftprints.

①由第一段首句内容“然而，那天晚上我一直想着我的金丝雀和Riley太太。”可知，第一段可描写作者晚上的思想活动，最终她第二天又一如既往地去了Riley太太家工作。
②由第二段首句内容“一个星期后，她说:“我一直在想，姑娘，既然我付不起钱，我就把Sam给你吧。””可知，第二段可描写作者考虑是否带走Sam的思想过程，以及最终作出的决定。
2. 续写线索：整晚的思想活动——第二天仍去Riley太太那里工作——Riley提出用Sam抵工资——矛盾的心理描写——最终决定——与故事开头呼应。
3. 词汇激活：
行为类：
①生病：get sick/be ill
②放置：put/place
③相信：believe/trust
④喊叫：shut/yell
情绪类：
公平的：fair/just
【点睛】【高分句型1】 It wasn’t fair that Mrs. Riley had t get sick. （运用了it为形式主语，连接词that引导主语从句。）
【高分句型2】Then I thught abut what Mm had said. （运用以连接词what引导的宾语从句。）
