一、阅读理解
Europe has numerous islands where you can get closer to nature. Here are some of the best for getting away from the crowds.
Schiermonnikoog, the Netherlands
Schier is primarily a national park, covered in forests and with some of Europe’s most untouched beaches. Only residents are allowed to drive cars on the island, which you can get to by taking a 45-minute ferry (渡轮). Once there, visitors can hunt for beautiful and specially-shaped stones washed ashore on the island’s wide white beaches, go diving or take surfing lessons along natural sandbanks.
Flores, Portugal
Flores Island in the westernmost stretches of the Azores is a nature lover’s dream. Deep blue lakes, vivid green valleys and boiling hot springs are among the otherworldly sights on the 55-square-mile volcanic island home to 3, 400 people, where you can arrive via flights from other Azorean islands.
Naustholmen, Norway
Visitors can take ferries to reach this private island owned by Norwegian adventurer Randi Skaug, the first Norwegian woman to climb Mount Everest. Naustholmen guests spend their days going boating or hiking to the top of the Lofoten Islands for sunset views. They can also simply do nothing at all, surrounded by the silence and beauty of this remote place.
Skyros, Greece
For a more isolated (隔绝) experience, set your sights to the island of Skyros. One of 24 islands in the Sporades chain in the northwest Aegean Sea, Skyros is reached via flights from mainland Greece as well as by ferry from the mainland and other nearby Greek islands. With the exception of Skyros’ famous carnival (狂欢节) which puts the island into nonstop party mode — it’s a perfect place for swimmers to register for a surfing class.
1.What do Schiermonnikoog and Skyros have in common
A. They both have a national park. B. They both offer surfing lessons.
C. They both give free ferry service. D. They both throw attractive parties.
2.What can a tourist do in Naustholmen
A. Take a rowing-boat race. B. Climb the volcanic island.
C. Enjoy the beautiful sunset. D. Pick up unique beach stones.
3.Which destination suits tourists interested in hot springs
A. Skyros. B. Naustholmen. C. Flores. D. Schiermonnikoog.
Lufinha has crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a small boat powered only by the sun and wind. He used kites to move the boat and solar power to use lights and equipment on the boat. He expects his trip will earn him a Guinness World Record for Fastest Solo Atlantic Crossing by Kite Boat. He also hopes to help people understand the need to protect the oceans.
The kite-powered boat reached top speeds of over 30 kilometers per hour. Lufinha traveled 6,400 kilometers in 25 days. The 38-year-old set out from Cascais, near Lisbon, Portugal on November 3, 2022, and arrived in Martinique on December 20, Lufinha was not at sea for all that time, however. He made a planned stop at the Canary Islands on November 8. But he had to stay longer than planned because of the powerful storm and he remained there until November 30.
Lufinha made the crossing completely alone in a 7.2-meter-long and 5.6-meter-wide trimaran, a boat which has three long, thin parts, with a small room for sleeping and shelter. Lufinha used a hand pump (抽水机) to produce water for drinking and cooking. He said, “I have two such water makers, which I can pump and every hour I can make around four liters of water.” The water pump has a special filter (过滤器) to remove salt from the sea water. Lufinha used the water to add to dried food he carried with him on the boat.
He called his trip “a big learning experience”. It was a big test of his adaptability. He learned most of all to look at his problems relatively. He had so many problems all of the time, such as kites getting torn and kites exploding (爆炸). And the only way not to suffer was to think, “It could be worse.” He said his way of thinking during the difficult crossing helped him get through it hour by hour, day by day, week by week until he finished this Atlantic crossing.
4.What’s one of the purposes of Lufinha’s trip
A. To set a new world record.
B. To map out a new sailing route.
C. To check his boat’s performance.
D. To collect money for the local charity.
5.Why did Lufinha stay longer than expected at the Canary Islands
A. His boat broke down halfway.
B. He took the wrong sailing direction.
C. His water pumps required replacing.
D. He was overtaken by terrible weather.
6.What was Lufinha’s biggest gain from the trip
A. He developed his own independence.
B. He discovered how to obtain drinkable water.
C. He learned to view problems more positively.
D. He mastered more advanced sailing techniques.
7.Which of the following can best describe Lufinha
A. Strict and honest. B. Calm and curious.
C. Determined and brave. D. Outgoing and generous.
A recent report from UNESCO warns that using technology in classes may not help as much as many people believe. The report suggests that technology should be used less in schools, and that smartphones should be barred from classrooms.
The goal of the new report was to improve how technology is applied to education. “Instead of being the focus, technology should support learning. Too much attention on technology in education usually comes at a high cost,” the report says.
Over the last 20 years, technology has been used more and more in schools. These days, it’s normal for students in many places to look up information on the internet rather than using books. But the report points out that around 500 million students from poor areas were unable to take part in online classes. That’s one example of what UNESCO says is a larger problem — the advantages of technology aren’t evenly shared. People and countries with less money are often left out.
UNESCO admits that technology can help in many ways. It can allow students to learn in more interesting ways; it can help teachers explain difficult ideas; it can also help students who have special needs. But UNESCO says technology can also take the students’ attention away from what they’re doing. When students use phones in class, it can interfere with their learning. One study that was carried out in 14 countries showed that even just having a smartphone nearby can be distracting. Even so, UNESCO says that less than 25% of the world’s countries bar the use of phones in schools.
The report suggests that the best way to learn is still to work closely with teachers. Working with other classmates also helps students learn. UNESCO says that most schools should spend more money on things like books, classrooms and teachers.
8.What does the text intend to tell us
A. Technologies can be double-edged.
B. Education holds the key to development.
C. The role of technologies is irreplaceable.
D. School education encounters much resistance.
9.What is discussed in paragraph 3 about technology in education
A. Safety concern. B. Wide application.
C. Unreasonable management. D. Unbalanced availability.
10.What does the underlined phrase “interfere with” mean in paragraph 4
A. Monitor. B. Disturb. C. Contribute to. D. Keep up.
11.Where is the text most likely from
A. A business report. B. A research plan.
C. A project handbook. D. A science magazine.
Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, or crossing crowded city streets at rush hour, getting where you want to go far faster than you could in a car. Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.
An air taxi is a small aircraft—something like a mix between a helicopter(直升飞机) and a drone(无人机)—that can carry people from place to place. Air taxis don’t need a long runway like planes do. They can go straight up and down, like a helicopter.
A company called Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. They’ve teamed up with Delta Air Lines to create a program to fly people from their homes to the airport. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide a ride-sharing service. Just like you might order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to order an air taxi. Joby’s air taxis will be flown by a pilot, and can carry four other passengers. They can fly as fast as 200 KPH and go around 100 miles before the electric batteries need to be recharged.
Joby claims their taxis are both quieter and cheaper than helicopters. The company expects to charge about $3 a mile at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile.
Exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have concerns about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters, but they’ll still add noise and traffic to our skies and endanger public safety when passengers are flying through the air.
Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of travel. The U.S. government says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”
12.What are the main features of the air taxi
A. Traditional and expensive. B. Convenient and economical.
C. Advanced but space-taking. D. Safe but energy-consuming.
13.Why are helicopters mentioned in the text
A. To give a guess. B. To present an argument.
C. To make a comparison. D. To introduce a phenomenon.
14.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us concerning the flying taxi
A. Its market risks. B. Its promising future.
C. Its wide recognition. D. Its possible weaknesses.
15.What can be the best title for the text
A. Flying Taxis Are Starting to Take Off
B. Joby Has Already Mass-produced Air Taxis
C. A Solution Is Used to Solve Traffic Problems
D. America Has Improved Ride-sharing Services

六、读后续写
34.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。
I used to work in a preschool for one and a half years, teaching the class for 2-year-olds. There was a head teacher and two assistant teachers(including me)in our class.
Maybe 8 months into my work, we had a new student named Jack, who was nearly 3 years old but hardly knew any words. In fact when he arrived, the only words he would say were “hi” and “no”. Based on our working experience, we suspected his parents just never interacted with him at home.
Every morning, Jack’s mom would drop him off with a totally blank expression. The moment they arrived, Jack would start crying, holding onto the hand or leg of his mother, who would just struggle to get the boy off her, saying “Let me go, Jack.” and then walk away without a look back. When she picked him up in the afternoon, Jack would run up to show her something but she would simply stare blankly at him and say “Let’s go, Jack.” If the teachers reported anything to her, she’d say “I see.” “Mhmm.”, giving us the same absent look.
Jack’s dad rarely came and he was just as bad. He obviously had an anger problem. Anytime he heard something negative had happened, he would turn red, stare angrily at his son and just say “HUH. Well. We will deal with it.” in such a cold voice.
As a result, the boy, who longed desperately for attention and love, was always bad-tempered (坏脾气). He would run, kick, hit, and even sometimes bite other kids. And when he did it he would laugh and turn to us to look for a reaction. We criticized and punished him again and again, but it didn’t work at all. After his second week, the lead teacher decided to talk to his mom about it. His mom just shrugged (耸肩), it off, gave that blank look and said, “Oh yeah, Jack is a handful (难管的人). I just can’t help it. ”The teachers were all shocked.
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。
Having handled Jack for two months, we adjusted our approach.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To our great joy, Jack gradually changed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

16.答案:①-⑤FCEAG
解析:
①根据上文“We all want to be successful. (我们都想要成功)”和下文“We tend to focus directly on the end goals, failing to realize our big goals are not going to happen overnight. (我们倾向于直接关注最终目标,而没有意识到我们的大目标不会在一夜之间发生。)”可知,上文提到我们都想要成功,下文提到我们没有意识到远大的目标不是在一夜之间就能实现的,所以空处与上文是转折关系,是说明在通往成功的漫长道路上可能会出现的问题,F项“但在通往成功的道路上,我们有时也会感到气馁”符合语境,故选F。
②根据上文“When faced with a large goal, our minds can slip into the habit of delay. (当面对一个大的目标时,我们的大脑会养成拖延的习惯)”可知,当面对一个大的目标时,我们的大脑会养成拖延的习惯,且空处与下文“Instead, make sure you create small, achievable goals that will allow you to see your progress more clearly. (相反,要确保你制定的目标是小的、可实现的,这样你就能更清楚地看到自己的进步)”是相反的情况,所以空处是说大目标不容易实现,C项“所以不要期望你的大梦想能瞬间实现”符合语境,故选C。
③根据本段主题句“Reward (犒劳) yourself.(犒劳自己)”和空后一句“It could be anything from treating yourself to your favorite coffee or even taking a trip somewhere. (它可以是任何事情,从请自己喝你最喜欢的咖啡,甚至是去某个地方旅行)”可知,本段是说要犒劳自己,做自己最喜欢的事情,E项“每次完成一个步骤,做你最喜欢的事情”符合语境,下文是对E项中“what you enjoy the most”的具体列举。故选E。
④上文“Putting strict deadlines (截止日期) on your goals can lead to possible feelings of failure, even when there are small victories along the way. (给你的目标设定严格的最后期限可能会导致失败的感觉,即使你在前进的道路上取得了小小的胜利)”提到,给目标设定严格的截止日期可能会给人带来负面情绪,所以空处应是说要灵活安排时间,A项“灵活安排时间限制”符合语境,故选A。
⑤上文“It will remind you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal. (它会提醒你在实现目标的过程中已经走了多远)”是描述记录下点滴进步的意义,G项“此外,看到所有的小胜利都被记录下来本身就是一种奖励”进一步说明记录进步的意义,故选G。
17.答案:B

32.答案:①protecting②which③caused④to save⑤As⑥has been involved⑦effective⑧successfully⑨Despite⑩discoveries
解析:
①考查非谓语动词。句意:在过去的二十年里,陈卉丽,一名文化遗产监测员和指导,一直致力于保护圆觉洞的雕刻,圆觉洞的雕刻是重庆大足石刻的一部分,1999年被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。devote oneself to...意为“致力于……”,其中to为介词,其后跟动名词。故填protecting。
②考查定语从句。句意参考上题。分析句子结构,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代先行词the carvings of the Yuanjue Cave,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以应用which引导。故填which。
③考查非谓语动词。句意:陈在带领游客参观的时候,痛苦地意识到时间的流逝对洞穴造成的严重破坏。分析句子结构,空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语the cave和cause之间是动宾关系,所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填caused。
④考查非谓语动词。句意:陈凭着相关知识和挽救雕塑的强烈愿望,加入了保护中心。eagerness to do sth.意为“做某事的强烈愿望”。故填to save。
⑤考查时间状语从句。句意:随着时间的推移,陈的经验越来越丰富,最终她研发出了保护文化遗产的独特方法。空处引导的是一个时间状语从句,根据句中的“time went by”可知,这里表示随着时间流逝,应用as(随着)引导。故填As。
⑥考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,她参与了许多重大项目,包括历时八年的千手观音修复工程。根据句中的时间状语so far可知,这里应用现在完成时。主语She和involve之间是动宾关系,所以应用被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语应用单数形式。be involved in意为“参与”。故填has been involved。
⑦考查形容词。句意:在她的团队的辛勤努力下,目前已经成功地采用了液压铁架等有效措施来支撑圆觉洞的顶部。空处应用形容词,作定语修饰measures。effective意为“有效的”。故填effective。
⑧考查副词。句意参考上题。空处应用副词修饰谓语动词。successfully意为“成功地”。故填successfully。
⑨考查介词。句意:尽管取得了令人瞩目的成就,陈仍然不满意。根据空后的名词短语,这里应用介词。“her remarkable achievements”和“Chen remains unsatisfied”之间是让步关系,虽然陈取得了不错的成就,但她仍不满意,所以应用介词despite(尽管)。故填Despite。
⑩考查名词的数。句意:对陈来说,圆觉洞仍然是一个重点,她相信未来会有许多富有成果的发现。discovery意为“发现”,为可数名词,且其前有many修饰,所以这里应用名词复数形式。故填discoveries。

34.答案:
Having handled Jack for two months, we adjusted our approach. Instead of punishing him every time he misbehaved, we tried to give him more positive attention. When he did well we praised him, and when he was sad we hugged him and played games with him. Slowly but surely, Jack started to open up. He would smile more often and even started babbling more words.
To our great joy, Jack gradually changed. He stopped hitting and biting other kids and even started playing nicely with them. Seeing the great changes that had taken place in their child, Jack's parents also deeply reflected on themselves. His parents started taking more of an interest in him and even started attending parent-teacher meetings. At the moment, I realize that every child needs love and attention, and that a little positivity can go a long way in changing a child’s life.
