Eddie was on a family trip on Hawaii’s Big Island when the terrible wildfires occurred in the island of Maui, killing 115 people and destroying the town of Lahaina. He overheard the disaster (灾难) while watching TV.
“It was Wednesday afternoon, we had the news on, and he asked me to turn it off because he said that made him too sad,” Eddie’s mother, Ami, told USA TODAY. “At that point, I realized he was really paying attention and listening, and we needed to actually solve it. I hadn’t really intended to tell him about it, because we thought he was still a kid. But what happened next proved that we were wrong.”
Ami shared how their family had stayed in Lahaina earlier that year. While it was difficult for Eddie to understand the disaster at a young age, he wanted to help people in any way he could.
Eddie shared the idea of starting a stand and giving all the money to support casualties. Ami and her husband immediately supported the idea and set up a lemonade stand on Saturday on their busy Seattle street.
The stand ran from 10 am to 6 pm. It sold lemonade, ice cream sandwiches and even some of Eddie’s toys. Lemonade was sold for a dollar each, but most people gave $5, $10 and $20 bills as part of their donation (捐赠) .
The family also posted videos on social media and told their friends and family. To their surprise, their one-day business found success quickly. Back-to-back cars would line up to buy and many donated online. The stand made over $17,000, including online donations.
Eddie had a great time in the whole process. Struck by how his generosity invited others to be generous, Ami and her husband are proud of Eddie’s creativity and generosity and happy to support his positive ideas.

Bells ringing around the necks of dairy cows eating grass lazily on a green field may sound peaceful, but if you live next door, it can be noisy.
Two residents( 住 户 )who recently moved to the small village of Aarwangen in the Swiss Alps, which has a population of just 4, 700 people, complained about the ringing of cowbells. They asked for the cows’ bells to be removed at night so they can sleep.
Long-term residents and the village’s remaining farmers were angry. They felt it was an attack on their traditional culture. Cowbells have been used in rural Switzerland for centuries. They were once useful for tracking herds( 牧 群 )in the Alps in summer. Older farmers say they could hear each individual cow by the sound of its own bell. Another resident, Mr Andreas Baumann, said cowbells were an important part of the Swiss soul. Referring to the sound of cowbells, he said, “As soon as I hear them, I know I’m back home.”
The noise level of these cowbells is usually between 90 and 113 decibels(分贝) —which is equal to the noise from an alarm clock, hairdryer or some power tools. In modern times, however. many farmers have changed to using electronic chips instead of bells.
This year’s argument is not the first time residents have complained about cowbells. In 2015, a Zurich court( 法 庭 )ordered a farmer to remove the bells from his 27 cows from 10 pm to am since they were safe in a farm and always keeping the neighbors awake.
Next month, Aarwangen’s villagers will gather for a public meeting to vote on the future of their bells. They will decide how the sound of the bells can continue without breaking noise pollution laws.
8. Why did the new residents complain about the ringing of cowbells
A. It affected their rest at night. B. It was an attack on culture.
C. It was not attractive. D. It couldn't be heard clearly.
9. What is Baumann’s attitude to the sound of cowbells
A. Uncaring. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
10. What’s the topic of the meeting to take place next month
A How to make laws. B. How to keep the bells.
C. When to vote on the bells. D. Whether to remove noise pollution laws.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An introduction to cowbells. B. An argument about pollution.
C. Cowbells: a trouble or a tradition. D. Farmers: for or against raising cows.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。阿尔旺根的新居民抱怨牛铃声打扰他们夜晚休息，而农民们很愤怒，认为这是对传统文化的攻击。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They asked for the cows’ bells to be removed at night so they can sleep.(他们要求在晚上把牛的铃铛拿掉，这样他们就可以睡觉了)”可知，新居民抱怨牛铃响是因为它影响了他们夜晚的休息。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Another resident, Mr Andreas Baumann, said cowbells were an important part of the Swiss soul. Referring to the sound of cowbells, he said, “As soon as I hear them, I know I’m back home.”(另一位居民安德烈亚斯·鲍曼表示，牛铃是瑞士灵魂的重要组成部分。提到牛铃的声音，他说:“我一听到它们，我就知道我回家了。”)”可知，Baumann对于牛铃的态度是积极的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Next month, Aarwangen’s villagers will gather for a public meeting to vote on the future of their bells. They will decide how the sound of the bells can continue without breaking noise pollution laws.(下个月，阿尔旺根的村民们将举行公开会议，投票决定他们的铃的未来。他们将决定如何在不违反噪音污染法的情况下继续发出铃声)”可知，下月举行的会议的主题是“如何保持这些铃声”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Two residents who recently moved to the small village of Aarwangen in the Swiss Alps, which has a population of just 4, 700 people, complained about the ringing of cowbells. They asked for the cows’ bells to be removed at night so they can sleep.(最近搬到瑞士阿尔卑斯山区阿尔旺根这个人口只有4700人的小村庄的两名居民抱怨牛铃的响声。他们要求在晚上把牛的铃铛拿掉，这样它们就可以睡觉了)”及第三段“Long-term residents and the village’s remaining farmers were angry. They felt it was an attack on their traditional culture. Cowbells have been used in rural Switzerland for centuries.(村里的长期居民和留下来的农民都很愤怒。他们认为这是对他们传统文化的攻击。牛铃在瑞士农村已经使用了几个世纪)”及全文内容可知，本文报道了阿尔旺根的居民抱怨牛铃声打扰他们夜晚休息，而农民们很愤怒，认为这是对传统文化的攻击的事情，C选项“牛铃:麻烦或传统”适合作为本文最佳标题。故选C项。
D
Imagine flying over the city in an electric-powered aircraft that has no pilot but can take you from point A to point B in minutes. Sounds like science fiction, right Well, not anymore.
China-based Ehang has become the world’s first company to be officially allowed to fly passengers in its pilotless air taxis
Ehang’s air taxis can carry up to two passengers and can fly at speeds of up to 130 km/h and distances of up to 28 km. Passengers can simply select their destination( 目 的 地 )on a touch screen inside the cabin and enjoy the ride without worrying about piloting the aircraft.
The taxis do not require airports or runways. They can take off and land vertically( 垂 直 地 ) from any flat surface, such as a rooftop, park or car park. They can be fully charged in two hours and have low noise levels. They also have some necessary things, such as backup batteries, propellers, emergency landing systems and parachutes in case anything goes wrong.
They could change how we travel around big cities—imagine using them to avoid traffic jams, save time to work or school, or get to places that are hard to reach by car or public transport. And beyond just moving people, the aircraft can be used for delivering goods, such as packages, medical supplies or food. During natural disasters such as bushfires or foods, air taxis could transport much-needed medical staff, equipment or medicines to the scene quickly and safely.
Ehang’s air taxis need to follow the laws and rules of different countries and regions where they might operate. One big challenge will be gaining the trust of the public and persuading passengers they are safe while flying. To do this, Ehang will educate passengers about the benefits and risks of using its taxis while also dealing with possible problems.
12. Why is science fiction mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To prove air taxis are not real. B. To show air taxis are advanced.
C. To express people’s love for air taxis. D. To provide scientific facts about air taxis!
13. Which is an advantage of air taxis
A. They are less noisy. B. They use less energy.
C. They can land anywhere. D. They are less expensive.
14. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about air taxis
A. Their possible problems. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their key functions. D. Their simple design.
15. What’s the passengers’ main concern over air taxis
A. Price. B. Speed. C. Management. D. Safety.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了中国的Ehang（亿航）空中出租车。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Imagine flying over the city in an electric-powered aircraft that has no pilot but can take you from point A to point B in minutes. Sounds like science fiction, right Well, not anymore.(想象一下，一架没有飞行员的电动飞行器在城市上空飞行，但可以在几分钟内把你从A点带到B点。听起来像科幻小说，对吧？现在不是了)”可推知，第一段提及科幻小说是为了证明空中出租车是不真实的。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They can be fully charged in two hours and have low noise levels.(它们可以在两个小时内充满电，而且噪音很低)”可知，空中出租车有更少的噪音。故选A项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“They could change how we travel around big cities—imagine using them to avoid traffic jams, save time to work or school, or get to places that are hard to reach by car or public transport. And beyond just moving people, the aircraft can be used for delivering goods, such as packages, medical supplies or food. During natural disasters such as bushfires or foods, air taxis could transport much-needed medical staff, equipment or medicines to the scene quickly and safely.(它们可以改变我们在大城市的出行方式——想象一下，使用它们可以避免交通堵塞，节省上班或上学的时间，或者到达汽车或公共交通工具难以到达的地方。除了运送人员，这种飞行器还可以用来运送货物，比如包裹、医疗用品或食品。在发生森林大火或食品等自然灾害时，空中出租车可以快速安全地将急需的医务人员、设备或药品运送到现场)”可知，文章第五段介绍了空中出租车的主要功能。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“One big challenge will be gaining the trust of the public and persuading passengers they are safe while flying.(一个巨大的挑战将是赢得公众的信任，并说服乘客它们在飞行时是安全的)”可知，乘客对空中出租车的主要担忧是安全性。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的油纸伞。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“撑着油纸伞，独自彷徨在悠长、悠长又寂寥的雨巷。”这句话出自20世纪中国著名诗人戴望舒的《雨巷》。poet为可数名词，此处表示一位著名的诗人，且famous发音以辅音音素开头，前边需用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：人们用一种涂了油的纸来做伞的表面。空处引导定语从句，先行词paper，指物，在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词which/that引导。故填which/that。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：雨伞在中国传统文化中很重要，象征着浪漫和忠诚的爱情。“be of+n”为固定搭配，表示“……的”，空处需填名词importance。故填importance。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：在瑶族居住的地区，它被用作向爱人表达爱意的礼物。be used as为固定搭配，意为“被用作”。故填as。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：然而，在20世纪80年代，手工油纸伞被尼龙伞所取代。根据时间状语“in the 1980s”可知，句子应用一般过去时，主语the handmade oil-paper umbrella和replace为被动关系，需用被动语态，主语为单数名词，be动词用was。故填was replaced。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现在参与生产的人不多了。空处位于介词in后面，需用动名词形式producing作宾语。故填producing。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：更重要的是，传统的油纸伞的生产需要熟练和耗时的劳动力，导致更高的成本。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语为the production of traditional oil-paper umbrellas，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填requires。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：虽然油纸伞不再是雨天的常用工具，但它从未从人们的生活中消失。上文提到“油纸伞不再是雨天的常用工具”，下文提到“它从未从人们的生活中消失”，上下文之间为转折关系，需用though/although/while引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Though/Although/While。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国的许多地方仍然保留着赠送一把红色油纸伞来庆祝生日、新生儿和搬家的传统。结合语意可知，空处表示目的，需用动词不定式形式作目的状语。故填to celebrate。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：它也被广泛用于纪念祖先的仪式。修饰动词is used，需用副词widely，作状语。故填widely。

changing clothes again but decided against it. “What’s the use ” she asked herself as she sat back on the bed.
At that moment, her mother called her from downstairs. “Elisa! Hurry up, honey! You don’t want to be late for your first day of school.”
“Don’t remind me.” Elisa thought to herself. It was not just the first day of school. It was Elisa’s first day at a new school. Picking out clothes for the first day of school was hard enough when you already knew your classmates. It was even harder when you would ever meet them for the first time.
“Elisa!” her mom called out. “I see the bus coming down the street!”
“This is it.” Elisa said to herself. She jumped off the bed and ran downstairs. Her mother stopped her at the bottom of the steps.
“I know you’re nervous about starting the first day at a new school.” her mother said.
“Remember my words: Be friendly to others and soon they will too.”
Elisa had her doubts. but she did not mention them. She put on a brave face and said. “It will be okay.” Then she hugged her mom and ran outside. where the bus was already waiting.
As she climbed on the bus, she was surprised to discover that she was the very first person on board. Elisa was happy to avoid other people for as long as she could. but she knew it would not last long. She took a seat near the back.
As the bus continued on its way, Elisa watched with a growing sense of anxiety as other kids filed on the bus. It seemed like everyone already knew each other. She had spent the past week worrying that other kids would make fun of her, but being ignored felt just as bad.

【答案】范文
Suddenly, Elisa noticed a girl sitting silently in front of her. Her mother’s words rang in her ears: Be friendly to others and soon they will too. Elisa leaned over the seat in front of her and extended her right hand. “Hi, my name is Elisa.” The girl could hardly believe it. Her eyes brightened as she shook Elisa’s hand. “Nice to meet you,” she said, “My name is Ruth.” There was an awkward silence. Ruth broke the silence finally. “I’m so glad you introduced yourself. I just moved to this town and I don’t know anybody,” the girl said.
“Really I jus moved here, too!”Elisa said, hardly believing her ears. The girls shared a laugh, and then Elisa grabbed her hook bag and moved up one row to sit with Ruth. Time passed quickly as they got to know each other, and the bus soon pulled in front of the school. The building was decorated with signs welcoming the students hack to school. Holding Ruth’s arm in hers, Elisa walked swiftly along the main road to her classroom. Her worries about the first day of school was replaced by her joy of having a new friend.

Eddie was on a family trip on Hawaii’s Big Island when the terrible wildfires occurred in the island of Maui, killing 115 people and destroying the town of Lahaina. He overheard the disaster (灾难) while watching TV.
“It was Wednesday afternoon, we had the news on, and he asked me to turn it off because he said that made him too sad,” Eddie’s mother, Ami, told USA TODAY. “At that point, I realized he was really paying attention and listening, and we needed to actually solve it. I hadn’t really intended to tell him about it, because we thought he was still a kid. But what happened next proved that we were wrong.”
Ami shared how their family had stayed in Lahaina earlier that year. While it was difficult for Eddie to understand the disaster at a young age, he wanted to help people in any way he could.
Eddie shared the idea of starting a stand and giving all the money to support casualties. Ami and her husband immediately supported the idea and set up a lemonade stand on Saturday on their busy Seattle street.
The stand ran from 10 am to 6 pm. It sold lemonade, ice cream sandwiches and even some of Eddie’s toys. Lemonade was sold for a dollar each, but most people gave $5, $10 and $20 bills as part of their donation (捐赠) .
The family also posted videos on social media and told their friends and family. To their surprise, their one-day business found success quickly. Back-to-back cars would line up to buy and many donated online. The stand made over $17,000, including online donations.
Eddie had a great time in the whole process. Struck by how his generosity invited others to be generous, Ami and her husband are proud of Eddie’s creativity and generosity and happy to support his positive ideas.
4. What can we know about Eddie
A. He enjoyed watching TV. B. He was willing to help others.
C. He understood what the disaster was. D. He cared little about what happened.
5. What does the underlined word “casualties” in paragraph 4 probably refer to
A. Parents losing their jobs. B. Children liking lemonade.
C. Villagers doing some business. D. People suffering from the fire.
6. Why did the family post videos on social media probably
A. To make themselves famous. B. To call for more donations.
C. To attract officials to join them D. To share more lemonade with others.
7. What does the author want to show by telling the story
A. It’s good to aim at an early age. B. Creativity is the key to success.
C. There is no age limit to helping others. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Bells ringing around the necks of dairy cows eating grass lazily on a green field may sound peaceful, but if you live next door, it can be noisy.
Two residents( 住 户 )who recently moved to the small village of Aarwangen in the Swiss Alps, which has a population of just 4, 700 people, complained about the ringing of cowbells. They asked for the cows’ bells to be removed at night so they can sleep.
Long-term residents and the village’s remaining farmers were angry. They felt it was an attack on their traditional culture. Cowbells have been used in rural Switzerland for centuries. They were once useful for tracking herds( 牧 群 )in the Alps in summer. Older farmers say they could hear each individual cow by the sound of its own bell. Another resident, Mr Andreas Baumann, said cowbells were an important part of the Swiss soul. Referring to the sound of cowbells, he said, “As soon as I hear them, I know I’m back home.”
The noise level of these cowbells is usually between 90 and 113 decibels(分贝) —which is equal to the noise from an alarm clock, hairdryer or some power tools. In modern times, however. many farmers have changed to using electronic chips instead of bells.
This year’s argument is not the first time residents have complained about cowbells. In 2015, a Zurich court( 法 庭 )ordered a farmer to remove the bells from his 27 cows from 10 pm to am since they were safe in a farm and always keeping the neighbors awake.
Next month, Aarwangen’s villagers will gather for a public meeting to vote on the future of their bells. They will decide how the sound of the bells can continue without breaking noise pollution laws.
8. Why did the new residents complain about the ringing of cowbells
A. It affected their rest at night. B. It was an attack on culture.
C. It was not attractive. D. It couldn't be heard clearly.
9. What is Baumann’s attitude to the sound of cowbells
A. Uncaring. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
10. What’s the topic of the meeting to take place next month
A. How to make laws. B. How to keep the bells.
C. When to vote on the bells. D. Whether to remove noise pollution laws.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An introduction to cowbells. B. An argument about pollution.
C. Cowbells: a trouble or a tradition. D. Farmers: for or against raising cows.
D
Imagine flying over the city in an electric-powered aircraft that has no pilot but can take you from point A to point B in minutes. Sounds like science fiction, right Well, not anymore.
China-based Ehang has become the world’s first company to be officially allowed to fly passengers in its pilotless air taxis.
Ehang’s air taxis can carry up to two passengers and can fly at speeds of up to 130 km/h and distances of up to 28 km. Passengers can simply select their destination( 目 的 地 )on a touch screen inside the cabin and enjoy the ride without worrying about piloting the aircraft.
The taxis do not require airports or runways. They can take off and land vertically( 垂 直 地 ) from any flat surface, such as a rooftop, park or car park. They can be fully charged in two hours and have low noise levels.
