As both world and Olympic champions, Chinese diving queens Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi were, unsurprisingly, among the brightest stars on the platform at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Then, after winning the women's synchronized 10m platform gold together as partners on Saturday, the two young aces battled it out in the women's 10m platform on Tuesday, when Quan edged out Chen to win the title by a margin(领先幅度) of just 2.55 points.
Quan and Chen are both the closest of partners and toughest of rivals. This seemingly complicated relationship, to themselves, however, is very simple. They are simply best friends that have grown up together.
"Quan is actually a very easygoing person. She is always the funniest one in our team. She always carries a smile, and she is the reason why our team always has such a great atmosphere," said 18-year-old Chen during an exclusive interview with China Daily.
"She shines in so many ways. She has a very positive mindset(思想), and she is always energetic during training and competition. I hope she will always have the heart she has now and keeps chasing her dreams."
"Chen is a pretty and charming girl, who never easily gives up," said Quan.
"As athletes, we both have the desire to win. It's a lie if we say we don't. That is why we both work extremely hard and fight for the same goal. We never stop pushing ourselves," said Chen."But this is a very positive competition. Such a life, as a top national team diver, is a very special and unforgettable experience. She is the best encouragement to me, and that's why I'm growing."
But in Quan's eyes, Chen is the more hardworking one of the two." She always tries her best at training and competition. I'm not as hardworking as she is," Quan added.
"The Asian Games gold is just another decoration of my career, and it's just a small test ahead of the Paris Olympics. There are still problems we need to fix," said Chen.
"I hope my partner always has a champion's heart to face future competitions and all of the challenges ahead."
Quan, in her typically succinct way, added: "I wish her the same."
24. What can we learn from the passage about Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi

B．Quan beat Chen in the women's 10m platform at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.
C．They are Chinese queens.
D．They are simple friends that have grown up together.

A．Quan wished Chen to desire to win.
B．Chen wished Quan to face future competitions.
C．Quan wanted Chen to have a champion's heart.
D．Chen wanted Quan to win competitions.

When people visit their local family-owned pumpkin patch(菜地) around Halloween, they aren’t usually looking for dinner. For people who prefer seasonal recipes to decorations, that may raise a few questions: Are the pumpkins sold for jack-o’-lanterns(南瓜灯) different from pumpkins sold as food And are Halloween pumpkins any good to eat
The pumpkins available at farms and outside supermarkets during October are what most people know, but that’s just one type of pumpkin. Howden pumpkins are the most common decorative pumpkin variety. They’ve been bred(培育) specifically for carving into jack-o’-lanterns, with a symmetrical(对称的) round shape, deep orange color, and sturdy(结实的) stem that acts as a handle. They have walls that are thin enough to poke(刺) a cheap knife through and a texture(质地) that’s unappealing compared to the squashes consumers are used to eating. “Uncut carving pumpkins are safe to eat; however, it's not the best type to use for cooking,” Daria McKelvey, a supervisor for the Kemper Center for Home Gardening at the Missouri Botanical Garden, tells Mental Floss.
If you do want to get some culinary(食物的) use out of your carving pumpkins this Halloween, set aside the seeds. Roasted with seasonings(作料) and olive oil, seeds from different pumpkin varieties become a tasty and nutritious snack. Another option is to turn the flesh of your Halloween pumpkin into purée(酱,糊,泥). Adding sugar and spices and baking it into a dessert can do a lot to mask the fruit’s flavor.
Whatever you do, make sure your pumpkin isn’t carved up already when you decide to cook with it. There are many ways to recycle your jack-o’-lanterns, but turning them into pie isn’t one of them. "If one does plan on cooking with a carving pumpkin, it should be undamaged, " McKelvey says. “Never use one that's been carved into a jack-o'-lantern.”
28．Why does the writer make two questions in paragraph 1
A. to look for dinner. B. to raise a few questions.
C. to make a summary. D. to introduce the topic and to arouse readers’ interest.
29. According to paragraph 2, what do we know about Howden pumpkin
A. It has a round shape, deep knife.
B. It is the most common kind of decorative pumpkin.
C. It acts as a handle.
D. It is bred specifically for carving into jack-o’-lanterns and you can never eat it.
30. If you do want to get snack out of your carving pumpkins，what would do
A. Roasted the seeds with seasonings(作料) and olive oil.
B. Poke a cheap knife through your carving pumpkins.
C. Mask the fruit’s flavor.
D. turn the flesh of your Halloween pumpkin into sugar and spices.
31. All the statements are correct EXCEPT according to the last paragraph
A. There are many ways to deal with your jack-o’-lanterns.
B. Turning your jack-o’-lanterns into pie is the only way to recycle them.
C. If one wants to cook with a carving pumpkin, it should be carved.
D. Make sure your pumpkin is cooked up already when you decide to eat it.
D
Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.
32. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible
A. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas. B. The use of drones in checking on power lines.
C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.
33. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Inspection and repair. B. Assistance from drones.
C. Construction of infrastructure. D. Personnel safety.
34. What function is expected of the rail drones
A. To make trains run automatically. B. To accelerate transportation.
C To earn profits for the crews. D. To provide early warning.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways
C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “ I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “ it’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walked onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forget the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “ Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward! ” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you.” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “it doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you. ”

【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达属于读后续写。要求考生阅读所给情节后续写两段内容，每段第一句都已给出。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，Emily唱歌很好听，但是她没有勇气在人前唱歌。一年夏天，Emily在朋友Lucy的邀请和妈妈的鼓励下，参加了一个歌唱比赛。由于太紧张，歌唱声音很小，甚至忘记了歌词。淘气的男孩们嘲笑她是胆小鬼。Emily哭着跑回了家。妈妈知道后，鼓励她要克服不敢在人前歌唱的问题，并相信她一定会有收获。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Emily认真地听妈妈讲话，并听从了妈妈的建议。那么接下来应该接着写：第二天Emily就开始在外面练习唱歌。慢慢地，她开始变得勇敢，唱歌的声音也变大了。后来，当她练习的时候，碰见嘲笑她的男孩再次嘲笑她，她也不理睬。第二段开头是：她继续歌唱着，她走进了公园，这里有很多人在唱歌、跳舞。接下来应该接着写：公园的人都被Emily美妙的声音吸引了并为她鼓掌，这时Emily感觉到自己可以在陌生人面前勇敢地唱歌了。第二年，Emily再一次参加了那个歌唱比赛，所有人都为她的表演欢呼。Emily的妈妈很高兴看到女儿如今变得这么勇敢。
注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
