Elm Professional Services owner Mia Van Tubbergh had plenty of business smarts—but no social media know how. So she turned to the younger generation and took on the two high school students who knew their stuff.
“Social media is foreign to many older professionals—but very important for connecting with today’s customers,” Ms Van Tubbergh said. “We have this workforce sitting in schools doing this already but they’re doing it for fun.” Ms Van Tubbergh’s company, which helps launch products to market, took then Year 10 students Braith Mansfield and Tahmana Rudolph on for two weeks’ work experience.
Ms Van Tubbergh said with a bit of guidance and help with spelling and presenting in a professional environment, the boys now do about 80% of Elm’s social media marketing work for online customers. The pair work one day a week with Elm at Gosford and the rest at Kariong High School. Their duties include stand-alone posts on social media platforms, videos, stories and website headers. They recently finished a hard copy flyer（传单）for a major retailer that will be seen by every consumer who visits the website.
“I am so impressed by the performance of the two teenagers, who have helped grow the company’s social media following by 600%,” said Ms Van Tubbergh. “Braith, 17, and Tahmana, 16—now in Year 11—came into the business with a lot of unexplored social media experience. Working at Elm has provided them with a ‘digital platform of work that is worth its weight in gold’—a valuable resource they can show other employers when starting a full-time career.”
Braith and Rudolph are among 42 NSW Central Coast students doing Year 11 and 12 as part of a School-Based Apprenticeship and Training（SBAT）program. NSW Education SBAT strategic officer Cecile Oakes said they needed more companies like Elm to take on students and give them the benefit of real world experience.
4. Why did Elm Professional Services hire Braith and Rudolph
A. They have plenty of business smarts.
B. They hope to gain valuable work experience.
C. They hope to get paid and become financially independent.
D. They can help to grow the company’s social media following.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The two teenagers’ role in Elm.
B. Elm’s social media marketing work.
C. The two teenagers’ unexpected gains in Elm.
D. Elm’s guidance and help to the two teenagers.
6. What do Ms Van Tubbergh’s words in the fourth paragraph suggest
A. She will recommend the two teenagers to other employers.
B. The two teenagers should start a full-time career upon graduation.
C. Starting a career in social media is a win-win for the two teenagers and the company.
D. The two students have not yet explored their social media experience.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. NSW Education SBAT program has been a great success.
B. More NSW Central Coast students are likely to be taken on.
C. NSW Central Coast students have rich real world experience.
D. Braith and Rudolph will continue to work for Elm after graduation.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B

So she turned to the younger generation and took on the two high school students who knew their stuff.( Elm Professional Services公司的老板Mia Van Tubbergh拥有丰富的商业经验，但却不懂社交媒体。因此，她转向年轻一代，并雇用了两名懂社交媒体的高中生。)”以及第二段中“Ms Van Tubbergh’s company, which helps launch products to market, took then Year 10 students Braith Mansfield and Tahmana Rudolph on for two weeks’ work experience.( Van Tubbergh女士的公司帮助将产品推向市场，让当时10年级的学生Braith Mansfield和Tahmana Rudolph参加了为期两周的工作体验。)”可知，Mia Van Tubbergh拥有丰富的商业经验，但却不懂社交媒体。因此，她转向年轻一代，通过雇用两名懂社交媒体的高中生 Braith和Rudolph来帮助将产品推向市场即 Braith和Rudolph可以帮助公司在社交媒体上增加粉丝，推广产品。故选D。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Their duties include stand-alone posts on social media platforms, videos, stories and website headers. They recently finished a hard copy flyer（传单）for a major retailer that will be seen by every consumer who visits the website.(他们的职责包括在社交媒体平台上发布独立的帖子、视频、故事和网站标题。他们最近为一家大型零售商制作了一份纸质传单，每个访问该网站的消费者都能看到。)”可知，这一段重点讲述的是两位少年在这家名为Elm Professional Services公司的工作角色。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““I am so impressed by the performance of the two teenagers, who have helped grow the company’s social media following by 600%,” said Ms Van Tubbergh.( Van Tubbergh女士说:“这两位青少年的表现给我留下了深刻的印象，他们帮助公司的社交媒体粉丝增长了600%。”)”以及“Working at Elm has provided them with a ‘digital platform of work that is worth its weight in gold’—a valuable resource they can show other employers when starting a full-time career.(在Elm工作为他们提供了一个“价值千金的工作数字平台”，这是他们在开始全职工作时可以向其他雇主展示的宝贵资源。)”可知，两位青少年帮助公司的社交媒体粉丝增长了选600%；同时公司也为他们提供了一个“价值千金的工作数字平台”，这是他们在开始全职工作时可以向其他雇主展示的宝贵资源，即开始在社交媒体上的职业生涯对这两个青少年和公司来说是双赢的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“NSW Education SBAT strategic officer Cecile Oakes said they needed more companies like Elm to take on students and give them the benefit of real world experience.(新南威尔士州教育局战略官员塞西尔·奥克斯表示，他们需要更多像Elm这样公司来招收学生，并为他们提供真实世界的经验。)”可知，更多像Elm这样的公司会招收学生，因此接下来会有更多的学生被企业聘用。故选B。
C
Have you noticed that as time goes on and technology advances, things seem to keep getting smaller and smaller That’s especially true with that machine we call the “computer.”
What exactly is a computer Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines a computer as “a usually programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve (检索), and process data.” Others think a computer as anything that transforms information in a meaningful way.
For thousands of years, people have tried to improve their lives by inventing machines to make certain tasks easier. Some people believe a simple mechanical device called an “abacus” was one of the earliest forms of a computer. Ancient people used the device to perform simple calculations (计算).Archaeologists (考古学家) have found evidence that the ancient Greeks used the abacus as early as the 5th century B.C.
Modern computers were developed much more recently. The first modern electronic computer—known as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer or ENIAC—became operational in 1946. Weighing more than 30 tons, ENIAC took up as much space as 1,800 square feet. Since then, computers have become much smaller and much more powerful. While ENIAC could perform 5,000 addition problems per second, many of today’s laptop computers weigh just a few pounds and can perform several billion operations per second.
Today’s computers keep getting smaller and smaller. Large desktop computers gave way to laptops. Laptops have developed into a wide variety of even smaller computing devices, such as netbooks and tablet computers. Many people even carry computers with them everywhere they go. Smartphones, or cellphones, fit easily into a pocket and allow their users to make telephone calls, surf the Internet and conduct business.
So what’s the smallest computer available today As of 2015, the smallest computer is just one cubic millimeter. However, today’s computer manufacturers are constantly producing newer and smaller models at a rate too fast to keep up with. Whatever is the smallest today will probably be replaced with something even smaller tomorrow!
8. How does the author organize the text
A. In the order of time.
B. In the order of space.
C. By raising questions and answering them.
D. By analyzing reasons and then drawing a conclusion.
9. What can we know about “abacus” from Paragraph 3
A. It was invented by Ancient Greeks. B. It was widely used in Ancient Greece.
C. It could carry out various tough tasks. D. It was among the earliest forms of computer.
10. Why does the author take ENIAC as an example
A. To compare it with ancient computers.
B. To tell readers how large earlier computers were.
C. To show readers how powerful the first computer was.
D. To explain to readers how modern computers operated.
11. Which might be the best title for the text
A. What exactly is a computer B. What is the smallest computer
C. What would future computers be like D. How did the computer come into being
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了计算机的发展历史和现代计算机的特点。从史前时期的算盘，到体积如1,800平方英尺的ENIAC，再到今天的便携式智能手机和一立方毫米的微型计算机，计算机越来越小，同时功能越来越强大。作者通过举例说明了计算机大小和性能的变化，并暗示未来计算机的发展趋势。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some people believe a simple mechanical device called an “abacus” was one of the earliest forms of a computer. Ancient people used the device to perform simple calculations(计算). Archaeologists (考古学家) have found evidence that the ancient Greeks used the abacus as early as the 5th century B.C. (有些人认为，一种叫做“算盘”的简单机械装置是计算机的最早形式之一。古人用算盘进行简单的计算。考古学家已经发现证据表明，古希腊人早在公元前5世纪就使用算盘了。)”以及第四段中“Modern computers were developed much more recently. The first modern electronic computer—known as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer or ENIAC—became operational in 1946. Weighing more than 30 tons, ENIAC took up as much space as 1, 800 square feet. (现代计算机是最近才发展起来的。第一台现代电子计算机——电子数字积分器和计算机(简称eniac)——于1946年投入使用。ENIAC重达30多吨，占据了1800平方英尺的空间。)”以及第五段中“Today’s computers keep getting smaller and smaller. Large desktop computers gave way to laptops. (今天的电脑变得越来越小。大型台式电脑让位于笔记本电脑。)”以及最后一段中“So what’s the smallest computer available today As of 2015, the smallest computer is just one cubic millimeter. (那么现在市面上最小的电脑是什么 截至2015年，最小的电脑只有1立方毫米。)”可知，本文从古代的计算机abacus讲到了第一部现代计算机ENIAC，接下来讲到了今天的计算机，结尾还提到未来计算机会变得更小、更强大。由此推断，本文作者是按照时间顺序行文的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Some people believe a simple mechanical device called an ‘abacus’ was one of the earliest forms of a computer. (有些人认为，一种叫做“算盘”的简单机械装置是计算机的最早形式之一。)”可知，abacus是计算机的最早形式之一。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Weighing more than 30 tons, ENIAC took up as much space as 1, 800 square feet. Since then, computers have become much smaller and much more powerful. (ENIAC重达30多吨，占据了1800平方英尺的空间。从那时起，计算机变得越来越小，越来越强大。)”以及第五段中“Today’s computers keep getting smaller and smaller. (今天的电脑变得越来越小。)”可知，随着时间的推移和技术的进步，计算机变得越来越小。而作者以ENIAC为例，目的是要告诉读者，早期的计算机有多么庞大，从而进一步点明“计算机越来越小”这一主题。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Have you noticed that as time goes on and technology advances, things seem to keep getting smaller and smaller That’s especially true with that machine we call the “computer.” (你有没有注意到，随着时间的推移和技术的进步，东西似乎变得越来越小 对于我们称之为“计算机”的机器来说尤其如此。)”以及通读全文可知，本文介绍了计算机的发展历史和现代计算机的特点。从史前时期的算盘，到体积如1, 800平方英尺的ENIAC，再到今天的便携式智能手机和一立方毫米的微型计算机，计算机越来越小，同时功能越来越强大。作者通过举例说明了计算机大小和性能的变化，并暗示未来计算机的发展趋势。最终表明无论计算机变得多么小，它的作用将一如既往地发挥，故文章的主旨是计算机变得越来越小。B选项“What is the smallest computer ( 最小的电脑是什么 )”概括文章主旨大意，符合标题。故选B。
D
Almost a quarter of the UK’s sea swimmers may not swim in the ocean this year because of sewage (污水) dumping by water companies, according to a poll (民意调查). Sewage was dumped into waters near England’s most celebrated beaches for nearly 8,500 hours last year. And there were 1,504 discharges (排出) in 2022 on beaches supposed to be free from such pollution.
The poll spoke to 2,272 UK adults between 21 and 23 on July. Just over 30% said they typically went sea swimming during the summer, and of these 23% said they would not this year because of sewage dumping by water companies. More than two in five of the regular beachgoers also said they were less likely to visit the British seaside this summer because of sewage discharges.
The Department for Environment says government should allow the Environment Agency to charge unlimited fines on rule-breaking water companies. Fines are currently capped (上限) at 250,000. The Department for Environment has been calling for a sewage tax on annual profits and a ban on bonuses of water company managers. “Coastal communities are at the mercy of water companies who unapologetically discharge raw sewage into popular swimming spots,” Tim Farron, the Department for Environment’s spokesperson said. “The government needs to stop letting water companies off the hook and finally ban these terrible sewage discharges and defend our tourism sector.”
A Water UK spokesperson said standards at beaches had greatly improved since the 1990s but that the industry recognized it had been slow to deal with the harm to our seas caused by sewage overflows. “Over the next seven years, water and sewerage companies plan to spend 10bn—doubling current levels of investment—on sewage treatment,” they said. “As part of this, bathing waters will be among the first to receive funding.”
12. What does the poll show
A. Water companies dumped the most sewage into waters last year.
B. Many swimmers avoid the water over fears of sewage on UK beaches.
C. Waters near England’s most celebrated beaches are not seriously polluted.
D. Over two fifths of the regular beachgoers in UK are between 21 and 23.
13. What suggestion does the Department for Environment make to the government
A. Reducing bonuses of water company managers.
B. Shutting down those rule-breaking water companies.
C. Fining rule-breaking water companies at least 250,000.
D. Introducing a sewage tax on water companies’ yearly profits.
14. What does the underlined part “off the hook” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Develop slowly. B. Improve too fast.
C. Free of responsibility. D. Attract public attention.
15. In which section of the website can you probably read the text
A Environment. B. Lifestyle. C. Fitness. D. Business.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是英国出现了污水危机，自来水公司向河流和海洋排放了太多的污水，为此，四分之一的游泳者可能不会在海里游泳。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“Almost a quarter of the UK’s sea swimmers may not swim in the ocean this year because of sewage (污水) dumping by water companies, according to a poll (民意调查).(一项民意调查显示，由于自来水公司的污水排放，英国近四分之一的海泳者今年可能不会在海里游泳。)”以及第二段中的“Just over 30% said they typically went sea swimming during the summer, and of these 23% said they would not this year because of sewage dumping by water companies.(超过30%的人表示，他们通常在夏天去海里游泳，其中23%的人表示，由于自来水公司的污水排放，他们今年不会去游泳。)”可知，民意调查显示，由于担心英国海滩上的未经处理的污水，许多游泳者不愿下水游泳，由此可知，许多游泳者因为担心英国海滩上的污水而避免下水。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Department for Environment has been calling for a sewage tax on annual profits and a ban on bonuses of water company managers.(英国环境部一直呼吁对年度利润征收污水税，并禁止水务公司经理的奖金。)”可知，环境部建议政府对水务公司的年度利润征收污水税。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线短语前的““Coastal communities are at the mercy of water companies who unapologetically discharge raw sewage into popular swimming spots,” Tim Farron, the Department for Environment’s spokesperson said.(英国环境部发言人蒂姆·法伦说：“沿海社区任由水务公司摆布，他们毫无歉意地将未经处理的污水排放到热门的游泳场所。”)”可知，水务公司毫无歉意地将未经处理的污水排放到热门的游泳场所，结合划线短语所在的句子“The government needs to stop letting water companies…(政府需要停止让水务公司)”可知，政府应停止水务公司的这种“毫无歉意地”把污水排放到热门的游泳场所，由此可知，划线短语的意思与“毫无歉意的行为”的意义相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“Almost a quarter of the UK’s sea swimmers may not swim in the ocean this year because of sewage (污水) dumping by water companies, according to a poll (民意调查). Sewage was dumped into waters near England’s most celebrated beaches for nearly 8,500 hours last year. And there were 1,504 discharges (排出) in 2022 on beaches supposed to be free from such pollution.(一项民意调查显示，由于自来水公司的污水排放，英国近四分之一的海泳者今年可能不会在海里游泳。去年，污水被倾倒到英国最著名的海滩附近的水域近8500个小时。2022年，在本应没有此类污染的海滩上，有1,504次排放。)”可知，民意调查表明，由于税务局将未经处理的污水排放到海滩附近，致使游泳者远离英国的海滩，结合下文中的介绍的英国环境部向政府的提议可知，这类内容最可能出现在网站中的环境一栏。故选A项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。什么是爱？爱是如何运作的？本文讲述了爱背后的科学。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It makes the world go round. It teaches lessons, makes people feel warm, and sometimes causes pain.(它使世界运转。它能给人经验教训，让人感到温暖，有时也会带来痛苦)”以及后文“That’s right — we’re talking about the knee shaking, palm sweating, heart pounding feeling of love!(没错，我们说的是那种膝盖颤抖、手心冒汗、心跳加速的爱的感觉！)”可知，本句与空格前两句意义上是顺承关系，说明“爱”的特征。故B选项“很多人说这就是他们生活中所需要的”符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“There are many types of love. Most people feel love for members of their family—this long-term connection is often called attachment. They may feel this same emotion toward friends or even pets.(爱有很多种。大多数人对自己的家庭成员感到爱——这种长期的联系通常被称为依恋。他们对朋友甚至宠物也会有同样的情绪)”可知，该段首先讲述了对亲人、朋友等的爱，接下来讲述情侣之间的爱情。由此推断，选项F“浪漫的情侣和生活伴侣之间存在着一种不同类型的爱”起承上启下作用，符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Many experts believe it’s rooted in survival. After all, most people first feel love for family members or caretakers.(许多专家认为这源于生存。毕竟，大多数人首先感受到的是对家庭成员或照顾者的爱)”提到许多专家认为，爱的根源在于生存，故接下来是对这句话作解释说明。选项D意思是“家人和亲密的朋友互相照顾和保护”，这与前一句意义一致，且与后一句意义上存在因果关系。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据后文“It can reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Spending time with loved ones can also lead to a longer lifespan. In fact, close family and community relationships is one factor that may help people live longer.(它可以减轻压力，降低血压。花时间和爱的人在一起也能延长寿命。事实上，亲密的家庭和社区关系可能是帮助人们长寿的一个因素)”可知，后文提到爱可以减轻压力，降低血压。花时间和爱的人在一起也能延长寿命。事实上，亲密的家庭和社区关系可能是帮助人们长寿的一个因素。即爱对健康也有好处。故选项E“科学家发现，爱也可能对健康有益”最能概括该段大意。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“With all this talk about love, maybe someone, you care about is on your mind. How can you show someone you love them There are plenty of ways! You can convey love by showing appreciation, giving praises, and being a good listener. Sharing, doing small favors, or giving a hug can also show a person you care.(说了这么多关于爱的话题，也许你心里还惦记着某个你在乎的人。你如何向别人表达你的爱呢？有很多方法！你可以通过表达感激、赞美和做一个好的倾听者来表达爱。分享，帮个小忙，或者给一个拥抱都可以表达你的关心)”可知，最后一段说的是如何表达爱，空格前介绍了几种表达爱的方式。选项A“当然，语言文字也很管用！”说的是表达爱的另外一种方式——爱就说出来。故选A。

47. 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。
Looking up at the black sky with shining stars, I smiled. The next morning, my Tathra Surf Lifesaving Club teammates and I would begin the first leg (赛程) of the George Bass Surfboat Marathon — the longest and toughest surfboat race in the world.
Over seven days and seven legs, we’d row 190km down the NSW coast, starting at Corrigan’s Beach in Batemans Bay and ending in Cocora Beach, Eden.
It was a competition my 10 teammates and I had been training two years for. At dawn each morning, including Christmas Day, we’d been straight into the boat and out on the water. For the last six months we’d added in gym sessions, too.
Surf clubs from all over Australia had come to compete. When our turn came to set off, we readied our boat. “We can do this, ladies,” I cheered.
On the water, we gave it everything we had. My aching muscles screamed at me to stop, but I pushed through. After two-and-a-half hours, we crossed the line first and won that leg. Over the next three days, we won another two and lost one. With three of four wins in the bag, on the fifth day we were hopeful. We only needed one more win to secure the marathon.
Our surfboat marathon win was so close — then disaster struck! When we made our way back to the shoreline, the water became aggressively rough. It was nothing we hadn’t rowed through before, so we kept going. But the boat started to shake and suddenly, it turned side-on and one by one we leapt off the boat, me included. Seconds later, the 300kg surfboat suddenly slammed on top of me. My body immediately went numb (麻木).
Emergency doctors raced over. It was decided, due to the severity of my injuries, I should be airlifted to hospital. I was taken to Canberra where I underwent tests, including CT scans, whose results showed I had a spinal (颈椎) injury. I received an operation. When I woke up, the surgeon visited. “We’ve inserted metal plates to put your back together,” he said. “We’ll remove them in about six months.”
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。
The support I received while I was in hospital was amazing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now, after spending two months in hospital, I’m back at home.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The support I received while I was in hospital was amazing. With the medical staff’s help, I pushed myself one step at a time, determined to get better. It was hard, but I knew it’d be worth it. My surfboat teammates were equally amazing. They barely left my side and took turns nursing me, encouraging me and comforting me. A Go Fund Me page raised over $50,000 to help cover my medical costs, which was truly unbelievable. I was convinced a few broken bones would never keep me from pursuing my dream.
Now, after spending two months in hospital, I’m back at home. Although there’s still a long way to go before full recovery and getting back on the water again, I am resolved not to give up but to continue. My life may be as unpredictable as the ocean, but my love for surfboat will never fade away. Four months later, the big day for the metal plate to be removed from my body ultimately comes, accompanied by the thrilling news that we can kick off preparations for next George Bass Surfboat Marathon.

Elm Professional Services owner Mia Van Tubbergh had plenty of business smarts—but no social media know how. So she turned to the younger generation and took on the two high school students who knew their stuff.
“Social media is foreign to many older professionals—but very important for connecting with today’s customers,” Ms Van Tubbergh said. “We have this workforce sitting in schools doing this already but they’re doing it for fun.” Ms Van Tubbergh’s company, which helps launch products to market, took then Year 10 students Braith Mansfield and Tahmana Rudolph on for two weeks’ work experience.
Ms Van Tubbergh said with a bit of guidance and help with spelling and presenting in a professional environment, the boys now do about 80% of Elm’s social media marketing work for online customers. The pair work one day a week with Elm at Gosford and the rest at Kariong High School. Their duties include stand-alone posts on social media platforms, videos, stories and website headers. They recently finished a hard copy flyer（传单）for a major retailer that will be seen by every consumer who visits the website.
“I am so impressed by the performance of the two teenagers, who have helped grow the company’s social media following by 600%,” said Ms Van Tubbergh. “Braith, 17, and Tahmana, 16—now in Year 11—came into the business with a lot of unexplored social media experience.

Have you noticed that as time goes on and technology advances things seem to keep getting smaller and smaller That’s especially true with that machine we call the “computer.”
What exactly is a computer Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines a computer as “a usually programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve (检索), and process data.” Others think a computer as anything that transforms information in a meaningful way.
For thousands of years, people have tried to improve their lives by inventing machines to make certain tasks easier. Some people believe a simple mechanical device called an “abacus” was one of the earliest forms of a computer. Ancient people used the device to perform simple calculations (计算).Archaeologists (考古学家) have found evidence that the ancient Greeks used the abacus as early as the 5th century B.C.
Modern computers were developed much more recently. The first modern electronic computer—known as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer or ENIAC—became operational in 1946. Weighing more than 30 tons, ENIAC took up as much space as 1,800 square feet. Since then, computers have become much smaller and much more powerful. While ENIAC could perform 5,000 addition problems per second, many of today’s laptop computers weigh just a few pounds and can perform several billion operations per second.
Today’s computers keep getting smaller and smaller. Large desktop computers gave way to laptops. Laptops have developed into a wide variety of even smaller computing devices, such as netbooks and tablet computers. Many people even carry computers with them everywhere they go. Smartphones, or cellphones, fit easily into a pocket and allow their users to make telephone calls, surf the Internet and conduct business.
So what’s the smallest computer available today As of 2015 the smallest computer is just one cubic millimeter. However, today’s computer manufacturers are constantly producing newer and smaller models at a rate too fast to keep up with. Whatever is the smallest today will probably be replaced with something even smaller tomorrow!
8. How does the author organize the text
A. In the order of time.
B. In the order of space.
C. By raising questions and answering them.
D. By analyzing reasons and then drawing a conclusion.
9. What can we know about “abacus” from Paragraph 3
A. It was invented by Ancient Greeks. B. It was widely used in Ancient Greece.
C. It could carry out various tough tasks. D. It was among the earliest forms of computer.
10. Why does the author take ENIAC as an example
A. To compare it with ancient computers.
B. To tell readers how large earlier computers were.
C. To show readers how powerful the first computer was.
D. To explain to readers how modern computers operated.
11. Which might be the best title for the text
A. What exactly is a computer B. What is the smallest computer
C. What would future computers be like D. How did the computer come into being
D
Almost a quarter of the UK’s sea swimmers may not swim in the ocean this year because of sewage (污水) dumping by water companies, according to a poll (民意调查). Sewage was dumped into waters near England’s most celebrated beaches for nearly 8,500 hours last year. And there were 1,504 discharges (排出) in 2022 on beaches supposed to be free from such pollution.
The poll spoke to 2,272 UK adults between 21 and 23 on July. Just over 30% said they typically went sea swimming during the summer, and of these 23% said they would not this year because of sewage dumping by water companies. More than two in five of the regular beachgoers also said they were less likely to visit the British seaside this summer because of sewage discharges.
The Department for Environment says government should allow the Environment Agency to charge unlimited fines on rule-breaking water companies. Fines are currently capped (上限) at 250,000. The Department for Environment has been calling for a sewage tax on annual profits and a ban on bonuses of water company managers. “Coastal communities are at the mercy of water companies who unapologetically discharge raw sewage into popular swimming spots,” Tim Farron, the Department for Environment’s spokesperson said. “The government needs to stop letting water companies off the hook and finally ban these terrible sewage discharges and defend our tourism sector.”
A Water UK spokesperson said standards at beaches had greatly improved since the 1990s but that the industry recognized it had been slow to deal with the harm to our seas caused by sewage overflows. “Over the next seven years, water and sewerage companies plan to spend 10bn—doubling current levels of investment—on sewage treatment,” they said. “As part of this, bathing waters will be among the first to receive funding.”
12. What does the poll show
A. Water companies dumped the most sewage into waters last year.
B. Many swimmers avoid the water over fears of sewage on UK beaches.
C. Waters near England’s most celebrated beaches are not seriously polluted.
D. Over two fifths of the regular beachgoers in UK are between 21 and 23.
13. What suggestion does the Department for Environment make to the government
A. Reducing bonuses of water company managers.
B. Shutting down those rule-breaking water companies.
C. Fining rule-breaking water companies at least 250,000.
D. Introducing a sewage tax on water companies’ yearly profits.
14. What does the underlined part “off the hook” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Develop slowly. B. Improve too fast.
C. Free of responsibility. D. Attract public attention.
15. In which section of the website can you probably read the text
A. Environment. B. Lifestyle. C. Fitness. D. Business.

47. 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。
Looking up at the black sky with shining stars, I smiled. The next morning, my Tathra Surf Lifesaving Club teammates and I would begin the first leg (赛程) of the George Bass Surfboat Marathon — the longest and toughest surfboat race in the world.
Over seven days and seven legs, we’d row 190km down the NSW coast, starting at Corrigan’s Beach in Batemans Bay and ending in Cocora Beach, Eden.
It was a competition my 10 teammates and I had been training two years for. At dawn each morning, including Christmas Day, we’d been straight into the boat and out on the water. For the last six months we’d added in gym sessions, too.
Surf clubs from all over Australia had come to compete. When our turn came to set off, we readied our boat. “We can do this, ladies,” I cheered.
On the water, we gave it everything we had. My aching muscles screamed at me to stop, but I pushed through. After two-and-a-half hours, we crossed the line first and won that leg. Over the next three days, we won another two and lost one. With three of four wins in the bag, on the fifth day we were hopeful. We only needed one more win to secure the marathon.
Our surfboat marathon win was so close — then disaster struck! When we made our way back to the shoreline, the water became aggressively rough. It was nothing we hadn’t rowed through before, so we kept going. But the boat started to shake and suddenly, it turned side-on and one by one we leapt off the boat, me included. Seconds later, the 300kg surfboat suddenly slammed on top of me. My body immediately went numb (麻木).
Emergency doctors raced over. It was decided, due to the severity of my injuries, I should be airlifted to hospital. I was taken to Canberra where I underwent tests, including CT scans, whose results showed I had a spinal (颈椎) injury. I received an operation. When I woke up, the surgeon visited. “We’ve inserted metal plates to put your back together,” he said. “We’ll remove them in about six months.”
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。
The support I received while I was in hospital was amazing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now, after spending two months in hospital, I’m back at home.
