Tenerife might seem like a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, but you will be surprised by how diverse and beautiful it is. There are lots of unique places in Tenerife, so be ready to explore!
Mount Teide
Mount Teide, a famous volcano, is the tallest peak (峰) in Spain and a UNESCO world heritage site. Several routes can lead one to the peak of Mount Teide. While permits are required to hike the mountain, you can have an easier choice—an eight-minute cable car (缆车) that takes you far enough up the top for appreciating views. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and a jacket as it can get cold.
Siam Park
The famous Siam Park was named as the best water park in the world for the second year in a row. You can visit the park at any time of the year, as the pools are heated to a comfortable 24 Celsius. Be sure to choose a sunny day for your visit if you’re heading over in winter.
Casa de Los Balcones
A visit to the Casa de Los Balcones might be a great idea if you’re looking for a first class cultural adventure. It’s a 17th century house with fine carved wooden balconies. The inside has a typical patio (露台) that shows the islands’ handmade traditions.
Playa de Benijo
Playa de Benijo is one of the fascinating beaches in Tenerife. The surface is a large area of black sand with rocky areas mixed in between. The volcanic sand covering the beach, as well as the rocks and the cliffs (悬崖), makes Playa de Benijo a destination for landscape photographers. If you have the chance—go there!

B. There is only one way to climb it.

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money ” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”
24. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank
A. She hoped to show off her savings in class. B. She needed to train her counting skills.
C. She wanted to play with the coins. D. She intended to pay for her friend’s milk.
25. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words
A. Relieved. B. Touched. C. Curious. D. Proud.
26. In Jackie’s eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience
A. Two heads are better than one. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
27. What is the best title for this passage
A. Small Coins, Big Changes. B. Jackie’s Piggy Bank.
C. Piggy Bank and Carton Milk. D. A Moved Grandmother.
C
Harvesting fruit is a very precise operation. The fruit must be picked when it is perfectly ripe (成熟的). But with pickers in short supply in recent years, growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their crops. Tevel Aerobotics Technologies came to help farmers with the Flying Autonomous Robots(FARs)that can help pick fruit.
“Not finding enough fruit pickers is every farmer’s biggest concern,” Yaniv Maor, Tevel’s founder and CEO said. Ask any farmer, anywhere in the world and they’ll tell you they don’t have the people. Food production is increasing, but labor availability (劳动力可用性) is decreasing. If there are not enough pickers, fruit will go bad on the trees. The flying robots will work day and night in almost any weather, without taking a break, to pick as much ripe fruit as possible.
Maor set up Tevel in 2017 and developed the technology after seeing young people pick fruit and get tired after a few hours. He realized that there had to be a better way, so he began developing the software and artificial intelligence (AI) that are needed for the smart robot pickers. “We have to teach the robots about the structure of each fruit, how to get close to the fruit and how to turn it and pick it from the tree,” Maor said.
The flying robots circle round trees and pick only the ripe ones with a twist (扭动) of their arms. The robots are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and color of the fruit so that only the ripe ones are picked. The cameras also ensure that the robots’ paths are not blocked.
The robots are picking Asian pears in Israel. In 2022, the FARs were used in pilot programs in Italy to pick peaches and other fruits, as well as in the US. They don’t substitute labor. Instead, they are a solution for the fewer human pickers. In the future fewer people will work in picking and more will work in managing the robots, analyzing the data and making decisions.
28. Why are the FARs developed
A. To meet the shortage of fruit pickers. B. To improve the AI for smart robots.
C. To help farmers keep the fruit. D. To relieve the tiredness of farmers.
29. What can we know from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. The robots can help produce more fruit. B. Maor developed the robots just for fun.
C. The robots can work without stop in bad weather. D. Farmers pay more attention to the food quality.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How the robots work. B. What the robots are made up of.
C. Why the robots are useful. D. Where the robots are used.
31. What does the underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph mean
A. Inspire. B. Support. C. Worry. D. Replace.
D
The world’s first 3D-printed wood log hive (蜂箱) is a new project developed by the Lacrima Foundation in Edinburgh to reduce the troubling decline of honey bee populations around the world.
The Lacrima Foundation is a charity that is “committed to the conservation and protection of one of the Earth’s most important inhabitant.” The charity teamed up with beekeepers in Europe to work towards a rewilding approach that would offer bees a natural nest habitat and, in turn, create resilience (复原力) among bee communities.
Honey bees are one of the most important pollinators (授粉者), and although they may seem small and insignificant, they are vital for the production of our food — we couldn’t eat without them! However, in recent years, bee populations have been severely impacted by the growing climate emergency and our intensive agriculture practices, including the overuse of pesticides.
With help from local partners, the Foundation created 3D-printed wood log hives, which allow the bees to live in an undisturbed ecosystem where they can carry out their lives. They install these hives in high sections of tree trunks to model natural conditions for the big honey bee populations.
Vince Moucha, chairman of the Lacrima Foundation, said, “Even though there are other people and organisations working in the field of natural beekeeping, the impact, progress and scope of these projects is minimal and slow, due to limited access to resources and clear vision. I am driven by responsibility and decided to act on it due to the urgency and importance of this matter.”
The Foundation will continue to work with beekeepers in the UK, Europe, and the United States to help our bee populations survive and thrive for them and us! Check out the Lacrima Foundation, where you can see their mission and donate to the cause and even get a honey bee gift bracelet in return.
32. What is the project of the Lacrima Foundation aimed at
A. Increasing the production of human’s food.
B Studying the cause of bees’ population loss.
C. Developing new habitats for struggling bees.
D. Teaming up with beekeepers for fundraising.
33. Why does the Foundation put hives in the high trees
A. To help bees avoid pesticides. B. To adapt bees to the new habitats.
C. To test the first 3D-printed hives. D. To protect bees from climate crisis.
34. What caused Vince Moucha to start the project
A. The progress of other projects. B. The effect of other organizations.
C. The difficult position of bees. D. The responsibility to care about people.
35. What does the author call on us to do in the last paragraph
A. Live in harmony with nature. B. Benefit from the Foundation.
C. Help bees survive with beekeepers. D. Support the work of the Foundation.

67. 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。
My husband and I recently made a cross-country move to Florida with our young child Dave. It was a quiet street with few people living there. Our neighbor was an old couple, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, both over seventy years old and energetic. They were kind enough to help us clean our house and yard, for our new home was in a mess.
Weeks before Thanksgiving arrived, my anxiety about it increased. “We should start thinking about plans for Thanksgiving dinner,” I suggested. “Don’t worry about it,” my husband said, “Heat up some hot dogs, maybe some cheese, and the kid will be happy.” That sounded great. I was in relief!
In the past holidays, I had never been responsible for cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner. My job was always to bring drinks or a side dish and help clean up after the meal. But one day my son Dave happily showed his newly-created turkey crafts. “Let’s go on a walk and try to find a rock that looks like turkey!” Dave shouted to me, “Take me on a walk, Mommy!” The excitement was building, and I had a feeling that hot dogs were not going to be enough for my child on Thanksgiving.
“I’m going to try and prepare Thanksgiving food, Leonard,” I said to my husband late one night. He eyed me incredibly. “Are you sure ” Then he said, “Okay, then, if you think you can do it.”
I went to the grocery store early Thanksgiving morning. Unfortunately, only a huge turkey remained, so I had no choice but to buy a thirty-pound turkey. I dragged (拖拽) the bagged turkey home. When my family saw it, they got a big surprise at its size. Seeing the surprise on their faces, I realized there was no way we could finish the turkey. It’s too big for my family. “There was only one turkey left in the store.” I explained. “But how could we finish the turkey ” I asked my husband and Dave. Dave said we could invite our neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, to share with us. It seemed a good idea.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

Tenerife might seem like a small island in the Atlantic Ocean, but you will be surprised by how diverse and beautiful it is. There are lots of unique places in Tenerife, so be ready to explore!
Mount Teide
Mount Teide, a famous volcano, is the tallest peak (峰) in Spain and a UNESCO world heritage site. Several routes can lead one to the peak of Mount Teide. While permits are required to hike the mountain, you can have an easier choice—an eight-minute cable car (缆车) that takes you far enough up the top for appreciating views. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and a jacket as it can get cold.
Siam Park
The famous Siam Park was named as the best water park in the world for the second year in a row. You can visit the park at any time of the year, as the pools are heated to a comfortable 24 Celsius. Be sure to choose a sunny day for your visit if you’re heading over in winter.
Casa de Los Balcones
A visit to the Casa de Los Balcones might be a great idea if you’re looking for a first class cultural adventure. It’s a 17th century house with fine carved wooden balconies. The inside has a typical patio (露台) that shows the islands’ handmade traditions.
Playa de Benijo
Playa de Benijo is one of the fascinating beaches in Tenerife. The surface is a large area of black sand with rocky areas mixed in between. The volcanic sand covering the beach, as well as the rocks and the cliffs (悬崖), makes Playa de Benijo a destination for landscape photographers. If you have the chance—go there!

Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.
“What are you doing with that money ” Jackie asked her granddaughter.
“I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.”
Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.
Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.
After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year.
Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”

Harvesting fruit is a very precise operation. The fruit must be picked when it is perfectly ripe (成熟的). But with pickers in short supply in recent years, growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their crops. Tevel Aerobotics Technologies came to help farmers with the Flying Autonomous Robots(FARs)that can help pick fruit.
“Not finding enough fruit pickers is every farmer’s biggest concern,” Yaniv Maor, Tevel’s founder and CEO said. Ask any farmer, anywhere in the world and they’ll tell you they don’t have the people. Food production is increasing, but labor availability (劳动力可用性) is decreasing. If there are not enough pickers, fruit will go bad on the trees. The flying robots will work day and night in almost any weather, without taking a break, to pick as much ripe fruit as possible.
Maor set up Tevel in 2017 and developed the technology after seeing young people pick fruit and get tired after a few hours. He realized that there had to be a better way, so he began developing the software and artificial intelligence (AI) that are needed for the smart robot pickers. “We have to teach the robots about the structure of each fruit, how to get close to the fruit and how to turn it and pick it from the tree,” Maor said.
The flying robots circle round trees and pick only the ripe ones with a twist (扭动) of their arms. The robots are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and color of the fruit so that only the ripe ones are picked. The cameras also ensure that the robots’ paths are not blocked.
The robots are picking Asian pears in Israel. In 2022, the FARs were used in pilot programs in Italy to pick peaches and other fruits, as well as in the US. They don’t substitute labor. Instead, they are a solution for the fewer human pickers. In the future fewer people will work in picking and more will work in managing the robots, analyzing the data and making decisions.
28. Why are the FARs developed
A. To meet the shortage of fruit pickers. B. To improve the AI for smart robots.
C. To help farmers keep the fruit. D. To relieve the tiredness of farmers.
29. What can we know from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. The robots can help produce more fruit. B. Maor developed the robots just for fun.
C. The robots can work without stop in bad weather. D. Farmers pay more attention to the food quality.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How the robots work. B. What the robots are made up of.
C. Why the robots are useful. D. Where the robots are used.
31. What does the underlined word “substitute” in the last paragraph mean
A. Inspire. B. Support. C. Worry. D. Replace.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The flying robots will work day and night in almost any weather, without taking a break, to pick as much ripe fruit as possible.(这些飞行机器人将在几乎任何天气下不分昼夜地工作，不间断地采摘尽可能多的成熟水果)”可知，飞行机器人几乎可以在任何天气下不间断地工作。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The flying robots circle round trees and pick only the ripe ones with a twist (扭动) of their arms. The robots are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and color of the fruit so that only the ripe ones are picked. The cameras also ensure that the robots’ paths are not blocked.(飞行机器人绕着树转，用手臂一扭，只摘成熟的树。这些机器人配备了摄像头，利用人工智能来评估水果的大小和颜色，以便只采摘成熟的水果。摄像头还可以确保机器人的路径不被阻塞)”可知，第四段主要讲了机器人是如何工作的。故选A项。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Instead, they are a solution for the fewer human pickers.(相反，它们是人类采摘者减少的一种解决方案)”可知，他们不能替代劳动力，是解决人力较少的一个办法，故划线词意思是“替代”。故选D项。

The world’s first 3D-printed wood log hive (蜂箱) is a new project developed by the Lacrima Foundation in Edinburgh to reduce the troubling decline of honey bee populations around the world.
The Lacrima Foundation is a charity that is “committed to the conservation and protection of one of the Earth’s most important inhabitant.” The charity teamed up with beekeepers in Europe to work towards a rewilding approach that would offer bees a natural nest habitat and, in turn, create resilience (复原力) among bee communities.
Honey bees are one of the most important pollinators (授粉者), and although they may seem small and insignificant, they are vital for the production of our food — we couldn’t eat without them! However, in recent years, bee populations have been severely impacted by the growing climate emergency and our intensive agriculture practices, including the overuse of pesticides.
With help from local partners, the Foundation created 3D-printed wood log hives, which allow the bees to live in an undisturbed ecosystem where they can carry out their lives. They install these hives in high sections of tree trunks to model natural conditions for the big honey bee populations.
Vince Moucha, chairman of the Lacrima Foundation, said, “Even though there are other people and organisations working in the field of natural beekeeping, the impact, progress and scope of these projects is minimal and slow, due to limited access to resources and clear vision. I am driven by responsibility and decided to act on it due to the urgency and importance of this matter.”
The Foundation will continue to work with beekeepers in the UK, Europe, and the United States to help our bee populations survive and thrive for them and us! Check out the Lacrima Foundation, where you can see their mission and donate to the cause and even get a honey bee gift bracelet in return.
32. What is the project of the Lacrima Foundation aimed at
A. Increasing the production of human’s food.
B Studying the cause of bees’ population loss.
C. Developing new habitats for struggling bees.
D. Teaming up with beekeepers for fundraising.
33. Why does the Foundation put hives in the high trees
A. To help bees avoid pesticides. B. To adapt bees to the new habitats.
C. To test the first 3D-printed hives. D. To protect bees from climate crisis.
34. What caused Vince Moucha to start the project
A. The progress of other projects. B. The effect of other organizations.
C. The difficult position of bees. D. The responsibility to care about people.
35. What does the author call on us to do in the last paragraph
A. Live in harmony with nature. B. Benefit from the Foundation.
C. Help bees survive with beekeepers. D. Support the work of the Foundation.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国茶起源、历史、文化意义以及各个地区的茶叶种类和特色。
【56题详解】
考查时态。句意：自古以来，茶已经成为中国文化的一部分，在诗歌和习俗中留下了它的味道。根据上文时间状语Since ancient times可知句子表达的是过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，谓语动词使用现在完成时，又因主语为单数，故填has become。
【57题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：许多茶爱好者不仅因为茶的味道，还因为茶道的美丽。分析句子结构，not only…but (also)为固定短语，含义为“不但……，而且……”，符合句意，故填but。
【58题详解】

【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：最早的一批茶通常在清明前采摘，也就是四月初，气温开始上升，雨水增多。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为early April，在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种茶被称为名前茶，因其质量好而广受好评。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，使用副词，故填highly。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国东部的浙江省被认为是茶叶的主要生产地。分析句子结构，因空白处后面有名词，根据冠词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词，表示“一个”含义，因空白处后面词的第一个发音音素为辅音，故填a。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：春天，这些地方的山丘上挤满了在土地上工作的茶工。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做定语使用非谓语动词，因与其逻辑主语tea workers之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填working。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：在繁忙的季节，来自全国不同地区的游客会前往那里参观茶园，并享用一杯新鲜烹制的茶。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做主语使用名词，根据其定语from different areas of the country可知空白处应使用名词复数，故填tourists。

【65题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：几千年前，在中国人的手上，一片叶子被制成了美味的饮料。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，根据时间状语Thousands of years ago可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，又因主语a leaf为单数，故填was made。

67. 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。
My husband and I recently made a cross-country move to Florida with our young child Dave. It was a quiet street with few people living there. Our neighbor was an old couple, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, both over seventy years old and energetic. They were kind enough to help us clean our house and yard, for our new home was in a mess.
Weeks before Thanksgiving arrived, my anxiety about it increased. “We should start thinking about plans for Thanksgiving dinner,” I suggested. “Don’t worry about it,” my husband said, “Heat up some hot dogs, maybe some cheese, and the kid will be happy.” That sounded great. I was in relief!
In the past holidays, I had never been responsible for cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner. My job was always to bring drinks or a side dish and help clean up after the meal. But one day my son Dave happily showed his newly-created turkey crafts. “Let’s go on a walk and try to find a rock that looks like turkey!” Dave shouted to me, “Take me on a walk, Mommy!” The excitement was building, and I had a feeling that hot dogs were not going to be enough for my child on Thanksgiving.
“I’m going to try and prepare Thanksgiving food, Leonard,” I said to my husband late one night. He eyed me incredibly. “Are you sure ” Then he said, “Okay, then, if you think you can do it.”
I went to the grocery store early Thanksgiving morning. Unfortunately, only a huge turkey remained, so I had no choice but to buy a thirty-pound turkey. I dragged (拖拽) the bagged turkey home. When my family saw it, they got a big surprise at its size. Seeing the surprise on their faces, I realized there was no way we could finish the turkey. It’s too big for my family. “There was only one turkey left in the store.” I explained. “But how could we finish the turkey ” I asked my husband and Dave. Dave said we could invite our neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, to share with us. It seemed a good idea.
