一、阅读理解(45分)
A
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
1. What can we know about Rain Water
A. River water starts to freeze.
B. Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C. Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D. It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.
2. What do Awakening of Insects and Grain Rain have in common
A. Farming season. B. Animal activities.
C. Air temperature. D. Frequent thundering.
3. In which solar term would people most probably put on masks
A. Rain Water. B. Grain Rain.
C. Spring Equinox. D. Awakening of Insects.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国24节气中的“雨水”、“惊蛰”、“春分”和“谷雨”这四个节气，让我们进一步了解这四个节气的气候和习俗。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“With its arrival, the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again.(随着它的到来，河水解冻，大雁由南向北迁徙，树木和草又变绿了)”可知，雨水之后热闹的春色随处可见。故选C项。
【2题详解】
判断推理题。根据第三段中“It is the key time for spring agricultural activities.(这是春季农业活动的关键时期)”可知，惊蛰是农业的关键，以及最后一段第一句“Grain Rain originates from the old saying, ‘Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains’, which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land.(谷雨源于古语“雨生百谷”，说明这一时期的降雨对农作物的生长极为重要，人们正忙于耕作)”结合来看，可得知惊蛰和谷雨这两个节气对农业来说都很重要，是耕作的季节。故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.(由于土壤干燥，大气不稳定和强风，沙尘暴变得更加频繁)”可推测，在谷雨时沙尘暴经常出现，所以人们最可能需要佩戴口罩保护自己。故选B项。

French writer Annie Eraux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel Committee, Emaux was given the award “for the courage and amazing insight” of her writing.
Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out (1974) , Shame (1997) and A Girl’s Story (2016) .
Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Eraux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家)of herself” to describe herself.
Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl’s Story follows a young woman’s coming of age in the 1950s.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in a plain language. Emaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stones objectivelv. “Unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions, noted Fox News.”
“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiencesas an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He added, “She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving.”
4. What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text
A. She is a full-time writer all her life.
B. She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize.
C. The Nobel Committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”.
D. She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing.
5. Where did Emaux get inspiration for her works
A. Her students’lives. B. Her personal experiences.
C. The history of her hometown. D. The stories of guests in her cafe.
6. Which of the following best describes Emaux’s writing style
A. Plain and relaxing. B. Descriptive and serious.
C. Emotional and touching. D. Objective and easy to understand.
7. Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers according to Anders Olsson
A. She suffered a lot of hardships. B. Her works are short and moving.
C. Her works are about unexplored subjects. D. She shares painful feelings through her writing.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了2022年诺贝尔文学奖获得者——法国作家Annie Ernaux以及她的个人经历和写作特色。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the words of the Nobel Committee, Emaux was given the award “for the courage and amazing insight” of her writing.(用诺贝尔委员会的话说，埃莫因其写作的“勇气和惊人的洞察力”而获奖)”可知，Annie Ernaux因其作品中展现的勇敢和敏锐而获得诺贝尔奖，故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood.(在她的小说中，她的成长经历以及她在青春期和成年期的经历都有很大的特色)”可知，她的作品灵感来源于她的个人经历，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Emaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stones objectivelv. “Unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions, noted Fox News.”(Emaux将她的风格描述为“平淡的写作”，她旨在通过这种方式客观地讲述她的石头。“没有华丽的描述或压倒性的情感，”福克斯新闻指出)”可推知，Ernaux的写作风格客观且简单易懂，故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiencesas an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm.(“她写了别人没有写过的东西，比如她的嫉妒，她作为一个被抛弃的情人的经历等等。我的意思是，非常艰难的经历，”诺贝尔文学奖委员会主席Anders Olsson在斯德哥尔摩宣布获奖后说)”可知，Anders Olsson认为Annie Ernaux与其他作家的不同之处在于她的作品是关于未被探索的主题，故选C。
C
When I learned that our community library was hosting a Book Worm Challenge, I got excited. My granddaughter liked reading books and I needed a little inspiration to increase the quality of the books I read, so I suggested we sign up. The goal was to read fifty books in a year. I am an English teacher. This didn’t seem like much of a challenge. Then, I read the small print. There were fifty different types ranging from historical nonfiction to a book with a red cover. Not so easy after all.
The experience created a bond with my granddaughter. We read a couple of the same novels, but mostly read different titles. However, we had interesting conversations based on the similar themes in our books and we discussed the authors’ writing styles, range of words, and our favorites.
Initially, inspired by a stubborn need to meet the goal, I forced myself to make time to visit the worlds and characters of the novels. In the past, excuses created reasons to procrastinate (拖延), but now I found books provided a better alternative. When a new TV series was shown for the first time, I discovered books brought greater joy and engagement. When the house needed cleaning, I remembered it would be dirty again tomorrow. When the dog wanted attention, I held her in one hand and a book in the other. And when a task could not be postponed, I turned on an audio book.
After a year, reading became a habit. My life became more satisfying as I grew intellectually. The realistic stories of life replaced the unrealistic dramas on the screen. Perhaps the greatest benefit I got through my increased reading was the impact it had on my writing. Reading improved my vocabulary, modeled unique styles, provided new insights, and inspired new ideas and a desire to copy other authors’ successes.
When I began, fifty reading types looked frightening, but my granddaughter and I both won the title of Extreme Book Worm.
8. What made the author consider the Book Worm Challenge difficult
A. The number of books she had to read.
B. The limited time she had to read the books.
C. The range of participants she had to compete with.
D. The different categories of the books she had to read.
9. How did the author connect with her granddaughter through reading
A. They exchanged ideas about the books they read.
B. She shared her stories of life with her granddaughter.
C. She recommended her favorite author to her granddaughter.
D. They engaged in joint writing projects based on their favorite novels.
10. Why did the author mention the examples in Paragraph 3
A. To list the challenges of multitasking.
B. To explain why she struggled with time management.
C. To illustrate how she prioritized reading over other activities.
D. To discuss the influence of new TV series on her leisure activities.
11. What would be the best title for this text
A. Benefits of being a book worm. B. My journey to becoming a writer.
C. My career path as an English teacher. D. Insights from exploring literary works.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者和孙女一起参加了书虫挑战赛，二人要在一年内读完50本不同类型的书，这次经历让作者和孙女之间建立了亲密的纽带，也给作者带来了积极变化。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There were fifty different types ranging from historical nonfiction to a book with a red cover. Not so easy after all.(有50种不同的类型，从历史纪实文学到一本红色封面的书。也没那么容易。)”可知，作者必须读50种不同类型的书，这让作者觉得这个挑战赛有难度。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, we had interesting conversations based on the similar themes in our books and we discussed the authors’ writing styles, range of words, and our favorites.(然而，我们根据我们书中类似的主题进行了有趣的对话，并讨论了作者的写作风格、单词范围和我们的最爱。)”可知，作者和孙女交流对自己所读之书的想法，这促进了二人之间的联系。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When a new TV series was shown for the first time, I discovered books brought greater joy and engagement. When the house needed cleaning, I remembered it would be dirty again tomorrow. When the dog wanted attention, I held her in one hand and a book in the other. And when a task could not be postponed, I turned on an audio book.(当一部新的电视剧第一次上映时，我发现书籍带来了更多的欢乐和参与。当房子需要打扫的时候，我想起明天还会很脏。当狗想要引起注意时，我一只手抱着她，另一只手拿着一本书。当一项任务不能推迟时，我打开了一本有声读物。)”可知，作者现在不会让新的电视剧、家务、宠物以及不能推迟的任务干扰自己的阅读计划，由此可推测出，作者举这些例子是为了说明她如何将阅读放在其他活动之前的。故选C。
【11题详解】
标题归纳题。通读全文，第一段介绍了作者要和孙女一起参加书虫挑战赛；根据第二段中的“The experience created a bond with my granddaughter.(这段经历使我和孙女建立了纽带。)”、第三段中的“I found books provided a better alternative(我发现书籍提供了一个更好的选择)”、第四段中的“After a year, reading became a habit.(一年后，读书成了一种习惯。)”可知，第二、三、四段讲述了阅读带来的好处；最有一段讲述了作者和孙女都赢得了最佳书虫的称号。由此可推测出，本文主要讲述了参加书虫挑战赛带来的好处，A项“做一个书虫的好处”最适合充当本文标题。故选A。
D
To be fair, the Aike T electric scooter (滑板车) is an interesting and innovative ride by itself. And the fact that its the world’s first USB-C enabled electric scooter is icing on the cake.
Its first great feature is that impressive battery. Not only is it removable, which is a nice bonus for anyone that doesn’t want to carry a 42 lb (19 kg) scooter around to find a plug, but the battery is also rechargeable via a USB-C charger, just like the kind you likely already use to charge your laptop and other devices. Both the battery and the scooter have a USB-C port, so you don’t have to pull the battery out to charge it. Amazingly, if your laptop or phone is low on juice then you can charge up your devices straight from the scooter’s battery.
Braking (制动) is done with a combination of a mechanical brake and electric braking. If you get caught in a rain or have to ride through ponding areas, you can be confident that the scooter can take it. The scooter includes GPS anti-theft protection, and there’s even keyless smart-lock that uses your phone to unlock the scooter. Next, consider the physical design features. The side- supported wheels don’t just look cool, they also make it easier to change a tire. You’re unlikely to need to do that often, thought since those tires are less likely to get flat.
If there’s any downside to the Aike T electric scooter, it’s the lack of shock absorption. So you’re going to fed bumps(颠簸) like sidewalk cracks and cobblestones. Apart from that, the scooter can’t run faster than 20 mph (32 km/h), which is a far cry from the faster electric scooters we’ve tested.
While it’s a high end electric scooter that will last a lot longer it certainly costs more than a budget scooter. So make your choice based on your own needs.
12. What is the feature of the scooter battery
A. It is easy to carry around.
B. It can serve as a power bank.
C. It can be charged through a laptop.
D. It has a USB-C port to plug in the scooter.
13. What does the third paragraph imply
A. No lock is needed for the scooter.
B. Braking is generated through phones.
C The scooter is good for water resistance.
D. The scooter is controlled fully automatically.
14. What’s the disadvantage of the scooter
A. Fixed speed.
B. Easily-broken tires.
C. Unappealing physical design.
D. Less comfort on lough roads.
15. How does the author present the text
A. Objectively. B. Approvingly.
C. Humorously. D. Critically.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Braking (制动) is done with a combination of a mechanical brake and electric braking. If you get caught in a rain or have to ride through ponding areas, you can be confident that the scooter can take it. (制动采用机械制动和电制动相结合的方式。如果你淋雨或不得不在积水区骑行，你可以相信踏板车可以驾驭。)”可知，第三段暗示这辆踏板车防水性很好。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If there’s any downside to the Aike T electric scooter, it’s the lack of shock absorption. So you’re going to fed bumps(颠簸) like sidewalk cracks and cobblestones. (如果说Aike T电动滑板车有什么缺点的话，那就是缺乏减震功能。所以你会遇到人行道裂缝和鹅卵石之类的颠簸。)”可知，滑板车的缺点是在崎岖的道路上不太舒适。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“To be fair, the Aike T electric scooter (滑板车) is an interesting and innovative ride by itself. And the fact that its the world’s first USB-C enabled electric scooter is icing on the cake. (公平地说，Aike T电动滑板车本身就是一款有趣而创新的骑行方式。事实上，它是世界上第一款支持USB-C的电动滑板车，这是锦上添花。)”和倒数第二段“If there’s any downside to the Aike T electric scooter, it’s the lack of shock absorption. So you’re going to fed bumps(颠簸) like sidewalk cracks and cobblestones. (如果说Aike T电动滑板车有什么缺点的话，那就是缺乏减震功能。所以你会遇到人行道裂缝和鹅卵石之类的颠簸。)”以及最后一段“While it’s a high end electric scooter that will last a lot longer, it certainly costs more than a budget scooter. So make your choice based on your own needs. (虽然这是一款高端电动滑板车，使用时间会更长，但肯定比经济型滑板车贵。所以根据自己的需求做出选择。)”可知，作者陈述了电动滑板车的优点和缺点，虽然贵但使用时间长。由此推知，作者客观地对本文进行了陈述。故选A。

46. 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。
A teenage boy lived alone with his father. The two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always “warming the bench”, his father was always in the stands cheering.
This young man was still the smallest in the class when he entered high school. But the son was determined to try his best at every practice. Throughout high school, he never missed a practice but still remained a benchwarmer all four years. His faithful father always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him.
When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”. Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster (候选名单) because he always put his heart and soul into every practice and, at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit they badly needed.
This persistent young athlete never missed a practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in the game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as he ran onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram.
The young man read the telegram and became silent. Swallowing hard, he whispered to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today ” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”
Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear (一套设备). As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astonished to see their faithful teammate back so soon.

【答案】“Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. But the young man persisted, and finally, feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. Before long, the coach，the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. The opposing team could not stop him. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown! The fans cheered! His teammates held him onto their shoulders.
Such cheering you’ve never heard! Finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that the young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach approached him and said, “Kid, you were fantastic! Tell me, what got into you How did you do it ” He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said,“Well, you knew my dad died, but I believe that he will always be there，encouraging me. ”

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms, which reflect the Chinese people’s understanding of time. Here several special solar terms are listed.
Rain Water
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north, and trees and grass turn green again. Extra care is needed to cope with a returning cold spell in this period. The wet and damp weather during Rain Water period is considered harmful for people’s spleen (脾) and stomach according to Chinese medical practice. Therefore, a bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.
Awakening of Insects
As the third solar term in the lunar year, its name implies that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. It is the key time for spring agricultural activities. Modern meteorological science shows that around this period, the earth becomes wet, the hot humid air from the north is strong and creates frequent winds. For this reason, thunder often occurs.
Spring Equinox
Spring Equinox signals the equal length of the day and night time. On the day of the Spring Equinox, the sun is directly above the equator. After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere. Standing an egg upright is a popular game during this period. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand, he will have good luck in the future.
Grain Rain
Grain Rain originates from the old saying “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains", which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops and people are busy working on the land. Grain Rain falls between the end of' spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds and sandstorms become more frequent.
1. What can we know about Rain Water
A. River water starts to freeze.
B. Taking off the thick coats is advisable.
C. Lively spring-like scenery can be seen.
D. It falls between the end of spring and the start of summer.

French writer Annie Eraux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel Committee, Emaux was given the award “for the courage and amazing insight” of her writing.
Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her name, including Cleaned Out (1974) , Shame (1997) and A Girl’s Story (2016) .
Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction Eraux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家)of herself” to describe herself.
Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her upbringing features heavily in her novels, as well as her experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl’s Story follows a young woman’s coming of age in the 1950s.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in a plain language. Emaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stones objectivelv. “Unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions, noted Fox News.”
“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiencesas an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences,” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He added, “She gives words for these experiences that are very simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving.”
4. What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text
A. She is a full-time writer all her life.
B. She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize.
C. The Nobel Committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”.
D She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing.
5. Where did Emaux get inspiration for her works
A. Her students’lives. B. Her personal experiences.
C. The history of her hometown. D. The stories of guests in her cafe.
6. Which of the following best describes Emaux’s writing style
A. Plain and relaxing. B. Descriptive and serious.
C. Emotional and touching. D. Objective and easy to understand.
7. Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers according to Anders Olsson
A. She suffered a lot of hardships. B. Her works are short and moving.
C. Her works are about unexplored subjects. D. She shares painful feelings through her writing.

When I learned that our community library was hosting a Book Worm Challenge, I got excited. My granddaughter liked reading books and I needed a little inspiration to increase the quality of the books I read, so I suggested we sign up. The goal was to read fifty books in a year. I am an English teacher. This didn’t seem like much of a challenge. Then, I read the small print. There were fifty different types ranging from historical nonfiction to a book with a red cover. Not so easy after all.
The experience created a bond with my granddaughter. We read a couple of the same novels, but mostly read different titles. However, we had interesting conversations based on the similar themes in our books and we discussed the authors’ writing styles, range of words, and our favorites.
Initially, inspired by a stubborn need to meet the goal, I forced myself to make time to visit the worlds and characters of the novels. In the past, excuses created reasons to procrastinate (拖延), but now I found books provided a better alternative. When a new TV series was shown for the first time, I discovered books brought greater joy and engagement. When the house needed cleaning, I remembered it would be dirty again tomorrow. When the dog wanted attention, I held her in one hand and a book in the other. And when a task could not be postponed, I turned on an audio book.
After a year, reading became a habit. My life became more satisfying as I grew intellectually. The realistic stories of life replaced the unrealistic dramas on the screen. Perhaps the greatest benefit I got through my increased reading was the impact it had on my writing. Reading improved my vocabulary, modeled unique styles, provided new insights, and inspired new ideas and a desire to copy other authors’ successes.
When I began fifty reading types looked frightening, but my granddaughter and I both won the title of Extreme Book Worm.
8. What made the author consider the Book Worm Challenge difficult
A. The number of books she had to read.
B. The limited time she had to read the books.
C. The range of participants she had to compete with.
D. The different categories of the books she had to read.
9. How did the author connect with her granddaughter through reading
A. They exchanged ideas about the books they read.
B. She shared her stories of life with her granddaughter.
C. She recommended her favorite author to her granddaughter.
D. They engaged in joint writing projects based on their favorite novels.
10. Why did the author mention the examples in Paragraph 3
A. To list the challenges of multitasking.
B. To explain why she struggled with time management.
C. To illustrate how she prioritized reading over other activities.
D. To discuss the influence of new TV series on her leisure activities.
11. What would be the best title for this text
A. Benefits of being a book worm. B. My journey to becoming a writer.
C. My career path as an English teacher. D. Insights from exploring literary works.
D
To be fair, the Aike T electric scooter (滑板车) is an interesting and innovative ride by itself. And the fact that its the world’s first USB-C enabled electric scooter is icing on the cake.
Its first great feature is that impressive battery. Not only is it removable, which is a nice bonus for anyone that doesn’t want to carry a 42 lb (19 kg) scooter around to find a plug, but the battery is also rechargeable via a USB-C charger, just like the kind you likely already use to charge your laptop and other devices. Both the battery and the scooter have a USB-C port, so you don’t have to pull the battery out to charge it. Amazingly, if your laptop or phone is low on juice then you can charge up your devices straight from the scooter’s battery.
Braking (制动) is done with a combination of a mechanical brake and electric braking. If you get caught in a rain or have to ride through ponding areas, you can be confident that the scooter can take it. The scooter includes GPS anti-theft protection, and there’s even keyless smart-lock that uses your phone to unlock the scooter. Next, consider the physical design features. The side- supported wheels don’t just look cool, they also make it easier to change a tire. You’re unlikely to need to do that often, thought since those tires are less likely to get flat.
If there’s any downside to the Aike T electric scooter, it’s the lack of shock absorption. So you’re going to fed bumps(颠簸) like sidewalk cracks and cobblestones. Apart from that, the scooter can’t run faster than 20 mph (32 km/h), which is a far cry from the faster electric scooters we’ve tested.
While it’s a high end electric scooter that will last a lot longer, it certainly costs more than a budget scooter. So make your choice based on your own needs.
12. What is the feature of the scooter battery
A. It is easy to carry around.
B. It can serve as a power bank.
C. It can be charged through a laptop.
D. It has a USB-C port to plug in the scooter.
13. What does the third paragraph imply
A. No lock is needed for the scooter.
B. Braking is generated through phones.
C. The scooter is good for water resistance.
D. The scooter is controlled fully automatically.
14. What’s the disadvantage of the scooter
A. Fixed speed.
B. Easily-broken tires.
C. Unappealing physical design.
D. Less comfort on lough roads.
15. How does the author present the text
A. Objectively. B. Approvingly.
C. Humorously. D. Critically.

A teenage boy lived alone with his father. The two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always “warming the bench”, his father was always in the stands cheering.
This young man was still the smallest in the class when he entered high school. But the son was determined to try his best at every practice. Throughout high school, he never missed a practice but still remained a benchwarmer all four years. His faithful father always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him.
When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”. Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster (候选名单) because he always put his heart and soul into every practice and, at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit they badly needed.
This persistent young athlete never missed a practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in the game. It was the end of his senior football season, and as he ran onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram.
The young man read the telegram and became silent. Swallowing hard, he whispered to the coach, “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today ” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”
Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear (一套设备). As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astonished to see their faithful teammate back so soon.
