In 2014, Xu Yitang, a Beijing native who had been studying Peking Opera since childhood, went with friends for a birthday celebration to Beijing Zoo. Little did he know that a chance encounter at the aquarium there would excite a lifelong passion. As Xu Yitang stared at corals bathed in tank’s light, a sense of wonder crowded into his mind. Lost in the beauty and mystery of the creatures, he spent the entire afternoon in front of it. After that, he began to frequent the local market to learn about coral farming from merchants who sell ornamental plants, fish and corals. He also searched for information on relevant forums online. Before long, he had set up a small fish tank at home and started cultivating a coral.
Nowadays, Xu Yitang who has moved to the tropical island of South China’s Hainan province, works for a Sanya-based tropical biological laboratory belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Each day, he spends several hours diving deep under the waves to observe and document the growth and development of the creatures that captured his heart all those years ago. Nicknamed “coral man”, he is actively engaged on such social media platforms as Sina Weibo, where he regularly shares visually beautiful photos and entertaining videos of corals. He aims to encourage individuals to take action in protecting coral reefs and the oceans as a whole from the destructive impact of climate change and human activities.
Unfortunately, with the strengthening of the greenhouse effect, rising sea temperatures have led to coral bleaching (白化) and decay. A coral reef’s beautiful colors come from the symbiotic algae (共生藻类) zooxanthellae that provide more than 90 percent of the energy through photosynthesis (光合作用). Coral bleaching occurs when coral expels the algae and dies due to the lack of nutrients.
In the laboratory, he would film educational videos to raise awareness and knowledge about corals, so that people can learn how to protect them effectively.
4. What changed Xu Yitang’s career choice
A. Frequenting the local market.
B. Setting up a small fish tank at home.
C. Having an encounter at the aquarium.
D. Observing coral growth and development.
5. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Xu is a diver in the lab.
B. Xu is a coral conservationist.
C. Xu spends few hours on his work every day.
D. Xu shares his videos for corals through social media platforms.
6. What caused coral bleaching
A. Rising sea temperatures. B. Lots of nutrients in the water.
C. Coral farming practices. D. Lack of sunlight in deep waters.
7. How does he feel about his job now
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】

Giant stars may be the ultimate example of “Live fast; die young”. Unlike our own sun, which will shine for billions of years, more huge stars can burn through their fuel in only a few million years before dropping off their outer parts and exploding.
This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. Named WR 124, it’s found in Sagitta and lies about 15, 000 light-years away from Earth. The dying star is at least 30times the mass of our sun but is contracting itself quickly as it sends off hot gas into the cold space.
“We’ve caught it early, ” explains Anthony Moffat, a retired astrophysicist, who previously observed WR 124 using the Hubble Space Telescope and was not involved in the recent JWST measurements. Moffat has studied Wolf-Rayet stars for decades. “This is the youngest one I know of, ” he says. The colorful cloud in the image is only a few thousand years old. “Now the nebula is hugging the star, ” he says. But as time flies by, it will bloom outward in expanding shells or rings of gas and dust.
Astrophysicists created the grand image by combining data from two of JWST’s instruments, the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The Hubble Space Telescope, which mostly gathers light at optical (视觉) wavelengths, had captured images of WR 124 before, but JWST’s observations show the star’s disappearance in detail.
“Personally, the most exciting part of this image is that we are capturing a rare event—that is, a Wolf-Rayet star—with a level of detail that can only be achieved with JWST. ” says Macarena Garcia Marin, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, who works with MIRL
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic of the text. B. To present a common problem.
C. To make the article interesting. D. To introduce a theory.
9. What can we know about WR 124 according to NASA
A. It is 10, 000 light-years away from Earth. B. It takes in cold gas from the space.
C. It is 30 times the size of the Earth. D. It is in the last period of its life.
10. What is Marin’s attitude toward the image
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Satisfied. D. Critical.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Stars actually will explode rapidly. B. Giant stars will shine for billions of years.
C. NASA has a great effect on studying stars. D. Rare dying star was revealed in new JWST image.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了出现在JWST的新照片中的一颗罕见的垂死之星，以及对它的研究。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“Giant stars may be the ultimate example of “Live fast; die young”. Unlike our own sun, which will shine for billions of years, more huge stars can burn through their fuel in only a few million years before dropping off their outer parts and exploding. (巨星可能是“活得快，死得早”的终极典范。与我们自己的太阳不同，太阳将照耀数十亿年，更多的巨星可以在几百万年内燃烧掉它们的燃料，然后脱落并爆炸。)”可知，第一段的目的是引出正文的主题，即出现在JWST的新照片中的一颗罕见的垂死之星。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. Named WR 124, it’s found in Sagitta and lies about 15, 000 light-years away from Earth. The dying star is at least 30times the mass of our sun but is contracting itself quickly as it sends off hot gas into the cold space. (本周，美国宇航局发布了一张罕见的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)拍摄的照片，照片上是一颗处于生命最后阶段的巨型沃尔夫-拉叶星。它被命名为WR 124，位于人马座，距离地球约15000光年。这颗垂死的恒星的质量至少是太阳的30倍，但它正在迅速收缩，因为它向寒冷的空间释放热气体。)”可知，根据美国国家航空航天局的说法，它正处于生命的最后阶段。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段““Personally, the most exciting part of this image is that we are capturing a rare event—that is, a Wolf-Rayet star—with a level of detail that can only be achieved with JWST. ” says Macarena Garcia Marin, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, who works with MIRL (与MIRL合作的欧洲航天局天体物理学家Macarena Garcia Marin说：“就我个人而言，这张照片最令人兴奋的部分是，我们正在捕捉一个罕见的事件，即Wolf Rayet星，其细节水平只有JWST才能实现。”)”可知，Macarena Garcia Marin对这张照片是满意的。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由由文章第二段中“This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. (本周，美国宇航局发布了一张罕见的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)拍摄的照片，照片上是一颗处于生命最后阶段的巨型沃尔夫-拉叶星。)”可知，文章主要介绍了出现在JWST的新照片中的一颗罕见的垂死之星，以及对它的研究。所以，D项“Rare dying star was revealed in new JWST image.”是适合本文的最佳标题。故选D。
D
“In a close cooperation between several first-class chemists, physicists, and biologists, we have developed a very efficient water filter (净水器). It does not need any energy source but sunlight,” said Forró. “Thus our device can supply clean drinking water even at remote places.” The small, adaptable flat-bodied device was designed at Switzerland’s EPFL research institute, by a team led by Prof. Laszl6 Forró.
Water enters via a tube (管子) in the top, flows through a multilayer composite (复合的) material sandwiched between two sheets of glass, and exits through a tube in the bottom. The composite material is made up of titanium dioxide nanowires (TDN,二氧化钛纳米线) interwoven with carbon nanotubes. When the filter is exposed to sunlight, the UV light (紫外线) causes the composite to produce a group of molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species. These molecules are highly effective at killing harmful bacteria and viruses. Its potential challenge when working outdoors is rainy or cloudy days.
The filter has already been successfully tested on water containing E. coli bacteria, with results indicating that it should also have no problem ridding of other harmful bacteria. In fact, it is believed that the technology may also prove effective at ridding of micro-pollutants such as pesticides (杀虫剂) and drug remains. It should be noted that when activated by UV light, titanium dioxide nanowires on their own are capable of killing harmful viruses and bacteria. For that matter, even UV light alone can purify water, if the water is left sitting in the sunlight in a transparent container.
However, Prof. Forró told us that his team’s filter is much more effective — this is due in part to the carbon nanotubes’ ability to absorb heat from the sunlight, making the purification process faster. The present small-scale model can treat 2 liters (0.5 gal) of water per day, although that figure would rise considerably if the technology were to be scaled up.
12 Why can the new filter work at remote areas
A. It is small and flat-shaped.
B. It can be powered by sunlight.
C. It’s designed by famous scientists.
D. It can be efficient in cleaning water.
13. Which aspects of filter does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. Appearance and possible effects.
B. Working conditions.
C. Structure and working process.
D. Strengths and weaknesses.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. The filter can kill all kinds of bacteria of the water.
B. The filter is able to get rid of a lot of drugs in the water.
C. TDN can kill viruses without being activated by UV light.
D. UV light is able to purify the water in transparent containers.
15. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To state a new function of UV light.
B. To introduce a solar-driven water filter.
C. To inform the discovery of a new material.
D. To stress the effectiveness of a water filter.
【答案】12 B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款以太阳能为动力的净水器，它可以在偏远地区使用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It does not need any energy source but sunlight(除了阳光，它不需要任何能源)”和“Thus our device can supply clean drinking water even at remote places.(因此，我们的设备甚至可以在偏远地区提供干净的饮用水)”可知，这款新的净水器以阳光为动力，所以它可以在偏远地区使用，故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题 。根据第二段“Water enters via a tube (管子) in the top, flows through a multilayer composite (复合的) material sandwiched between two sheets of glass, and exits through a tube in the bottom. The composite material is made up of titanium dioxide nanowires (TDN,二氧化钛纳米线) interwoven with carbon nanotubes. When the filter is exposed to sunlight, the UV light (紫外线) causes the composite to produce a group of molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species. These molecules are highly effective at killing harmful bacteria and viruses.(水从顶部的管子进入，流过夹在两片玻璃之间的多层复合材料，并从底部的管子流出。这种复合材料由二氧化钛纳米线和碳纳米管交织而成。当过滤器暴露在阳光下时，紫外线会使复合材料产生一组被称为活性氧的分子。这些分子在杀死有害细菌和病毒方面非常有效)”可知，第二段主要谈论的是这款净水器的结构和工作过程，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“For that matter, even UV light alone can purify water, if the water is left sitting in the sunlight in a transparent container.(就这一点而言，如果把水放在一个透明的容器里，放在阳光下，即使只有紫外线也能净化水)”可知，紫外线能够净化透明容器中的水，故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“In a close cooperation between several first-class chemists, physicists, and biologists, we have developed a very efficient water filter (净水器). It does not need any energy source but sunlight(在几位一流的化学家、物理学家和生物学家的密切合作下，我们开发了一种非常高效的滤水器。除了阳光，它不需要任何能源)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一种太阳能驱动的净水器，故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了石窟寺保护国际论坛在重庆进行，多名专家参会，共同探讨合作机会和保护石窟寺中石刻的方法。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：8月19日至21日，约160名专家参加了在重庆举行的石窟寺保护国际论坛，探讨合作机会和保护世界各地石窟寺中石刻的方法。根据空后的“August 19 to 21”可推知，此处介绍论坛的持续时间，表示“从8月19日至21日”，因此空处应用介词from，构成固定短语from… to…。故填from。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：国家文物局局长李群在开幕式上表示，中国石窟寺在主题和艺术风格方面表现出显著的特点，反映了中国文明的和平本质。分析句子可知，空处作句子的谓语，结合从句时态推断此处在叙述过去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时。故填said。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：国家文物局局长李群在开幕式上表示，中国石窟寺在主题和艺术风格方面表现出显著的特点，反映了中国文明的和平本质。分析句子可知，空处是修饰nature的定语，peace的形容词形式peaceful符合题意，意为“和平的”。故填peaceful。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：重庆论坛的召开是为了改善石窟寺的保护，揭示它们的价值和历史意义，为保护人类的智力成果做出贡献。分析句子可知，句子主干成分完整，空处表示随着句子行为自然发生的结果，作结果状语，因此应用contribute的现在分词形式。故填contributing。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：专家们同意在全球气候变化的背景下促进石窟寺的保护，开发新材料，建立早期预警系统，创建一个全球历史图像数据库，他们希望这些能帮助后代欣赏它们的美。根据“agreed”可推知，此处用固定短语agree to do sth.，意为“同意做某事”，因此空处应用promote的不定式形式作宾语。故填to promote。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：专家们同意在全球气候变化的背景下促进石窟寺的保护，开发新材料，建立早期预警系统，创建一个全球历史图像数据库，他们希望这些能帮助后代欣赏它们的美。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，对前面提到的各种行动作补充说明，这些行动指物，在从句中作主语，因此应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：水和风是造成全球范围内石窟寺和石刻破坏的主要因素。分析句子可知，空处修饰动词短语causing damage to，因此应用global的副词形式globally，意为“全球地”。故填globally。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一名专家补充说，气候变化导致自然威胁造成的不确定性增加。分析句子可知，空处作uncertainty的后置定语，是非谓语动词，cause“造成”和uncertainty逻辑上是被动关系，且动作已完成，因此应用cause的过去分词形式。故填caused。
【44题详解】
考查名词短语。句意：他呼吁对诸如与水有关的破坏和地质环境等核心因素进行深入研究。study“研究”为可数名词，此处表示泛指，因此study应用复数形式。故填studies。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：此外，应努力加强考古调查，探索这些遗址的价值，以及管理旅游业。分析句子可知，空处连接前后两个动名词短语strengthening…和exploring…，两者之间是并列的关系，因此应用并列连词and。故填and。

Grandma Goodie, warm-hearted and caring, goes to see her granddaughters every Sunday afternoon. Every visit starts with the same steps. First, she rings the doorbell. Then Vera and Gina run to open the door excitedly. Every time, Grandma Goodie brings wonderful gifts. Sometimes they are toys. Sometimes they are candies. After receiving the gifts, the whole room is full of the laughter and screams of the two.
One Sunday, Grandma rang the doorbell. Vera and Gina, who had been waiting since lunch, hurried down the stairs to open the door. “Darling, look what I have brought to you,” Grandma said. She pulled out a pack of cards and they couldn’t wait to rush into their room and began to play the cards cheerfully. They enjoyed themselves so much that the whole afternoon had passed before they realized it.
At the end of the day, Grandma kissed everyone and said her goodbyes. As she drove away, Vera and Gina heard their parents say that they would hold a birthday party for Grandma next Sunday. “Grandma has a birthday ” they thought, looking at each other in surprise. Both felt a little confused, “Grown-ups have birthdays ”
“We have to get her a present,” Gina decided. “But what ” asked Vera, “Grandma Goodie undoubtedly has everything!’’
They spent all week thinking, but nothing came into their mind.
On Sunday afternoon, the doorbell rang. Just as what usually happened, Grandma Goodie brought them beloved amazing gifts, which were some candies with good-looking covers. They extended their sincere gratitude to Grandma Goodie and quickly went back to their room to think about the gift for Grandma.
All through the dinner, the kids were silent. “What’s wrong with you What makes you two so down and quiet ” asked Grandma.
“Grandma, we really wanted to give you something special for your birthday,” Gina said. “But nothing we thought of would do,” added Vera. Grandma Goodie smiled and held the kids in her arms. Then she said, “Oh, kids, don’t you know you two are the best gifts I could ever ask for ”

Without any delay, they set out to create their work attentively.
About an hour later, the two came out with a picture. “Grandma, forgive us to have kept you waiting so long. But I bet it is worthwhile. Look! Here is the gift for you.” Meanwhile, Vera showed Grandma the picture drawn by Gina and decorated by herself, two hands holding over her head. “Grandma, your best gift is here! We are always together!” added Gina. Seeing it, Grandma was too moved to say anything. At this moment, the only thing she wanted to do was to hug them forever! Maybe, this was the true meaning of love!

In 2014, Xu Yitang, a Beijing native who had been studying Peking Opera since childhood, went with friends for a birthday celebration to Beijing Zoo. Little did he know that a chance encounter at the aquarium there would excite a lifelong passion. As Xu Yitang stared at corals bathed in tank’s light, a sense of wonder crowded into his mind. Lost in the beauty and mystery of the creatures, he spent the entire afternoon in front of it. After that, he began to frequent the local market to learn about coral farming from merchants who sell ornamental plants, fish and corals. He also searched for information on relevant forums online. Before long, he had set up a small fish tank at home and started cultivating a coral.
Nowadays, Xu Yitang who has moved to the tropical island of South China’s Hainan province, works for a Sanya-based tropical biological laboratory belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Each day, he spends several hours diving deep under the waves to observe and document the growth and development of the creatures that captured his heart all those years ago. Nicknamed “coral man”, he is actively engaged on such social media platforms as Sina Weibo, where he regularly shares visually beautiful photos and entertaining videos of corals. He aims to encourage individuals to take action in protecting coral reefs and the oceans as a whole from the destructive impact of climate change and human activities.
Unfortunately, with the strengthening of the greenhouse effect, rising sea temperatures have led to coral bleaching (白化) and decay. A coral reef’s beautiful colors come from the symbiotic algae (共生藻类) zooxanthellae that provide more than 90 percent of the energy through photosynthesis (光合作用). Coral bleaching occurs when coral expels the algae and dies due to the lack of nutrients.
In the laboratory, he would film educational videos to raise awareness and knowledge about corals, so that people can learn how to protect them effectively.
4. What changed Xu Yitang’s career choice
A. Frequenting the local market.
B. Setting up a small fish tank at home.
C. Having an encounter at the aquarium.
D. Observing coral growth and development.
5. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. Xu is a diver in the lab.
B. Xu is a coral conservationist.
C. Xu spends few hours on his work every day.
D. Xu shares his videos for corals through social media platforms.
6. What caused coral bleaching
A Rising sea temperatures. B. Lots of nutrients in the water.
C. Coral farming practices. D. Lack of sunlight in deep waters.
7. How does he feel about his job now
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Enthusiastic.
C
Giant stars may be the ultimate example of “Live fast; die young”. Unlike our own sun, which will shine for billions of years, more huge stars can burn through their fuel in only a few million years before dropping off their outer parts and exploding.
This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. Named WR 124, it’s found in Sagitta and lies about 15, 000 light-years away from Earth. The dying star is at least 30times the mass of our sun but is contracting itself quickly as it sends off hot gas into the cold space.
“We’ve caught it early, ” explains Anthony Moffat, a retired astrophysicist, who previously observed WR 124 using the Hubble Space Telescope and was not involved in the recent JWST measurements. Moffat has studied Wolf-Rayet stars for decades. “This is the youngest one I know of, ” he says. The colorful cloud in the image is only a few thousand years old. “Now the nebula is hugging the star, ” he says. But as time flies by, it will bloom outward in expanding shells or rings of gas and dust.
Astrophysicists created the grand image by combining data from two of JWST’s instruments, the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The Hubble Space Telescope, which mostly gathers light at optical (视觉的) wavelengths, had captured images of WR 124 before, but JWST’s observations show the star’s disappearance in detail.
“Personally the most exciting part of this image is that we are capturing a rare event—that is, a Wolf-Rayet star—with a level of detail that can only be achieved with JWST. ” says Macarena Garcia Marin, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, who works with MIRL
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To lead in the topic of the text. B. To present a common problem.
C. To make the article interesting. D. To introduce a theory.
9. What can we know about WR 124 according to NASA
A. It is 10, 000 light-years away from Earth. B. It takes in cold gas from the space.
C. It is 30 times the size of the Earth. D. It is in the last period of its life.
10. What is Marin’s attitude toward the image
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Satisfied. D. Critical.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Stars actually will explode rapidly. B. Giant stars will shine for billions of years.
C. NASA has a great effect on studying stars. D. Rare dying star was revealed in new JWST image.
D
“In a close cooperation between several first-class chemists, physicists, and biologists, we have developed a very efficient water filter (净水器). It does not need any energy source but sunlight,” said Forró. “Thus our device can supply clean drinking water even at remote places.” The small, adaptable flat-bodied device was designed at Switzerland’s EPFL research institute, by a team led by Prof. Laszl6 Forró.
Water enters via a tube (管子) in the top, flows through a multilayer composite (复合的) material sandwiched between two sheets of glass, and exits through a tube in the bottom. The composite material is made up of titanium dioxide nanowires (TDN,二氧化钛纳米线) interwoven with carbon nanotubes. When the filter is exposed to sunlight, the UV light (紫外线) causes the composite to produce a group of molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species. These molecules are highly effective at killing harmful bacteria and viruses. Its potential challenge when working outdoors is rainy or cloudy days.
The filter has already been successfully tested on water containing E. coli bacteria, with results indicating that it should also have no problem ridding of other harmful bacteria. In fact, it is believed that the technology may also prove effective at ridding of micro-pollutants such as pesticides (杀虫剂) and drug remains. It should be noted that when activated by UV light, titanium dioxide nanowires on their own are capable of killing harmful viruses and bacteria. For that matter, even UV light alone can purify water, if the water is left sitting in the sunlight in a transparent container.
However, Prof. Forró told us that his team’s filter is much more effective — this is due in part to the carbon nanotubes’ ability to absorb heat from the sunlight, making the purification process faster. The present small-scale model can treat 2 liters (0.5 gal) of water per day, although that figure would rise considerably if the technology were to be scaled up.
12. Why can the new filter work at remote areas
A. It is small and flat-shaped.
B. It can be powered by sunlight.
C. It’s designed by famous scientists.
D. It can be efficient in cleaning water.
13. Which aspects of filter does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A. Appearance and possible effects.
B. Working conditions.
C. Structure and working process.
D. Strengths and weaknesses.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. The filter can kill all kinds of bacteria of the water.
B. The filter is able to get rid of a lot of drugs in the water.
C. TDN can kill viruses without being activated by UV light.
D. UV light is able to purify the water in transparent containers.
15. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To state a new function of UV light.
B. To introduce a solar-driven water filter.
C. To inform the discovery of a new material.
D. To stress the effectiveness of a water filter.
