Born on March 21, 1958, in Louisiana, Grant Cardone is not a typical celebrity. He didn’t come from a wealthy family. He’s not a Hollywood superstar, nor does he have some amazing talents, like script-writing, politics or athleticism. However, what he has is something that is available to us all, and that is a determination to succeed.
At the age of 25, Cardone took the first job that he could find. That job was as a car salesman. It was a title and a position that Grant was not very fond of. However, the economy was slow, which meant he didn’t have many options, so he made it work.
Cardone was committed to becoming the best salesperson he could be. So, he invested (投资) heavily in his own self-improvement by reading books and studying his craft and his industry. After committing himself to becoming his very best, his income quickly doubled. And soon thereafter, he became one of the best car salesmen in the country. He eventually moved on to running his own business, and was extremely smart and disciplined (自律的) with his money. Cardone only spent money on what was absolutely necessary for food and housing. He would place anything left over into an investment fund just for the property market.
Cardone’s focus on learning more so that he could earn more, along with having the discipline to invest his extra money, instead of wasting it on useless things, helped him become a self-made millionaire just five years later by the age of 30.
Cardone has since gone on to become a well-known international businessman, speaker and the owner of Cardone Capital, a $ 1.5 billion investment firm. He’s authored the New York Times bestselling books If You’re Not First, You’re Last, and other famous books like The 10X Rule, and Axiom Award winning Sell or Be Sold. In addition to this, he also founded Cardone University, a popular sales training platform that has over 50,000,000 and growing users.
It took Cardone only five years to completely change his entire life. With the right mindset and sufficient willpower, just imagine what five years could do for you.
4. Why did Cardone choose to become a car salesman
A. To meet a superstar. B. To do research on cars.
C. To support himself. D. To maintain his interest.
5. How did Cardone handle his money
A. He bought many clothes. B. He helped his family members.
C. He spent it on useful things. D. He put most of it in the bank.
6. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Cardone
A. His achievements. B. The plans for his company.
C. His experiences of education. D. The reasons for his popularity.
7. What can we learn from Cardone’s story
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Investment is risky but rewarding.
C. Making money calls for professional advice.
D. Success requires determination and efforts.

A team of researchers at the University of Cambridge have created an innovative floating device that uses solar power to transform polluted water or seawater into clean hydrogen (氢气) fuel and purified water.
This device is particularly beneficial for areas with limited resources or without access to the electricity, as it can operate with any open water source and does not rely on external power sources.
It takes its inspiration from photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn sunlight into food. However, unlike earlier versions of the “artificial leaf”, which could produce green hydrogen fuel from clean water sources, this new device operates from polluted or seawater sources and can produce clean drinking water-at the same time.
“In remote or developing regions, where clean water is relatively scarce and the basic facilities necessary for water purification are not readily available, water splitting (分解) is extremely difficult,” said Ariffin Mohamad Annuar, a member of the research team. “The device that could work using polluted water could solve two problems at once: it could split water to make clean fuel, and it could make clean drinking water.”
The device that can make clean fuel and clean water at once using solar power alone could help address the energy and the water crises facing so many parts of the world. For example, the indoor air pollution caused by cooking with “dirty” fuels, such as kerosene, is responsible for more than three million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. Cooking with green hydrogen instead could help reduce that number significantly.
“It’s such a simple design as well: in just a few steps, we can build a device that works well on water from a wide variety of sources,” said Ariffin Mohamad Annuar. “In addition, the new device uses more of the sun’s energy. The light-driven process for making solar fuels only uses a small portion of the solar spectrum (光谱) —there’s a whole lot of the spectrum that goes unused.”
8. What do we know about the new device
A. It can hardly produce clean hydrogen fuel.
B. It needs a lot of power to function properly.
C. It is not as convenient as the “artificial leaf”.
D. It can turn polluted water into purified water.
9. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Insufficient. B. Cheap. C. Available. D. Useless.
10 Which word can best describe the new device
A. Costly. B. Environmentally-friendly.
C. Outdated. D. Complex.
11. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 5
A. To stress the harm of air pollution to human beings.
B. To predict how many people will buy the new device.
C. To show the potential impact of the new device on the world.
D. To explain the skills of selling the new device to the poor people.
D
Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟的) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the essential nutrients needed for the crop to grow.
However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been detected on Mars’ surface and can be poisonous to plants.
The team grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant primarily made of Mojave Desert basalt (玄武岩). However, the new-grown plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix. Even replacing just 25 percent of the simulant with a potting mix made a big difference, the team found.
The team of researchers then conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They used a wild rice variety and two genetically edited varieties, which were designed to stand up to environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate.
The study revealed that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.
“We want to send humans to Mars but we cannot take everything there. It’s going to be expensive,” said Ramachandran. The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions.
12. How did the researchers conduct their study
A. By asking questions. B. By carrying out experiments.
C. By making a case study. D. By referring to former studies.
13. The gene-edited variety grows better in one kilogram of soil containing ______.
A. one gram of perchlorate B. two grams of perchlorate
C. three grams of perchlorate D. four grams of perchlorate
14. Why did the researchers want to grow rice on Mars
A. To find a wonderful way to make money.
B. To support the growing population on Earth.
C. To help astronauts feed themselves on Mars.
D. To enable people to eat new varieties of rice.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. What Should We Grow on Mars
B. How Did Martian Soil Change Over Time
C. People Are Likely to Live on Mars Years Later
D. Martian Soil May Have All the Essential Nutrients Rice Needs

After his wife died, Ramu was left alone in this world. He was sixty-five years old. With time going by, Ramu’s sadness increased. The more he thought, the stronger his belief became that it was useless to live in this world anymore.
One morning, he went out for a walk and didn’t return to his home. His steps took him out of city and there he saw a bus. He took that bus. After a few hours, the bus was passing through a thick forest and stopped there for a break.
Ramu stepped out' of the bus and headed in a direction. After a while, he heard a voice from the bus calling for passengers to return but he decided not to return. He wanted to get lost in the thick forest.
In the thick forest, even during the day there was slight darkness. Ramu was walking as if he was not conscious (有知觉的). While walking, he went towards the side of a mountain. His steps suddenly stopped at a place where the mountain opened towards a valley below. There he saw the path was blocked by two sticks and a sign written in big letters—DANGER.
He couldn’t understand who would write this in such a thick forest. While looking around, Ramu walked a little further towards the valley, seeing a deep ditch (壕沟) ahead. At that moment, his heart trembled (颤抖).He sat aside, thinking how a moment ago he wanted to die but now he was scared.
With a calmed mind, he started wandering, looking for the person who did this. While wandering, he saw many signs. He saw DANGER/ BEWARE sign at many dangerous places and POISONOUS FRUITS sign was written on many trees.
He realized that if those signs were not put up, anyone could have fallen into one of those deep ditches and lost his life. Seeing all this, Ramu called out loudly, “Brother, who saved my life ! I want to see you.”
Just then, from behind the leaves, an old man appeared laughing and said, “I have been watching you for a long time. Tell me how did you come here ”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After telling the old man his story, Ramu asked, “What are you doing here ”

It got late, so the old man invited Ramu to his place so that he could return home the next day.

Born on March 21, 1958, in Louisiana, Grant Cardone is not a typical celebrity. He didn’t come from a wealthy family. He’s not a Hollywood superstar, nor does he have some amazing talents, like script-writing, politics or athleticism. However, what he has is something that is available to us all, and that is a determination to succeed.
At the age of 25, Cardone took the first job that he could find. That job was as a car salesman. It was a title and a position that Grant was not very fond of. However, the economy was slow, which meant he didn’t have many options, so he made it work.
Cardone was committed to becoming the best salesperson he could be. So, he invested (投资) heavily in his own self-improvement by reading books and studying his craft and his industry. After committing himself to becoming his very best, his income quickly doubled. And soon thereafter, he became one of the best car salesmen in the country. He eventually moved on to running his own business, and was extremely smart and disciplined (自律的) with his money. Cardone only spent money on what was absolutely necessary for food and housing. He would place anything left over into an investment fund just for the property market.
Cardone’s focus on learning more so that he could earn more, along with having the discipline to invest his extra money, instead of wasting it on useless things, helped him become a self-made millionaire just five years later by the age of 30.
Cardone has since gone on to become a well-known international businessman, speaker and the owner of Cardone Capital, a $ 1.5 billion investment firm. He’s authored the New York Times bestselling books If You’re Not First, You’re Last, and other famous books like The 10X Rule, and Axiom Award winning Sell or Be Sold. In addition to this, he also founded Cardone University, a popular sales training platform that has over 50,000,000 and growing users.
It took Cardone only five years to completely change his entire life. With the right mindset and sufficient willpower, just imagine what five years could do for you.
4. Why did Cardone choose to become a car salesman
A. To meet a superstar. B. To do research on cars.
C. To support himself. D. To maintain his interest.
5. How did Cardone handle his money
A. He bought many clothes. B. He helped his family members.

A team of researchers at the University of Cambridge have created an innovative floating device that uses solar power to transform polluted water or seawater into clean hydrogen (氢气) fuel and purified water.
This device is particularly beneficial for areas with limited resources or without access to the electricity, as it can operate with any open water source and does not rely on external power sources.
It takes its inspiration from photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn sunlight into food. However, unlike earlier versions of the “artificial leaf”, which could produce green hydrogen fuel from clean water sources, this new device operates from polluted or seawater sources and can produce clean drinking water-at the same time.
“In remote or developing regions, where clean water is relatively scarce and the basic facilities necessary for water purification are not readily available, water splitting (分解) is extremely difficult,” said Ariffin Mohamad Annuar, a member of the research team. “The device that could work using polluted water could solve two problems at once: it could split water to make clean fuel, and it could make clean drinking water.”
The device that can make clean fuel and clean water at once using solar power alone could help address the energy and the water crises facing so many parts of the world. For example, the indoor air pollution caused by cooking with “dirty” fuels, such as kerosene, is responsible for more than three million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. Cooking with green hydrogen instead could help reduce that number significantly.
“It’s such a simple design as well: in just a few steps, we can build a device that works well on water from a wide variety of sources,” said Ariffin Mohamad Annuar. “In addition, the new device uses more of the sun’s energy. The light-driven process for making solar fuels only uses a small portion of the solar spectrum (光谱) —there’s a whole lot of the spectrum that goes unused.”
8. What do we know about the new device
A. It can hardly produce clean hydrogen fuel.
B. It needs a lot of power to function properly.
C. It is not as convenient as the “artificial leaf”.
D It can turn polluted water into purified water.
9. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Insufficient. B. Cheap. C. Available. D. Useless.
10. Which word can best describe the new device
A. Costly. B. Environmentally-friendly.
C. Outdated. D. Complex.
11. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 5
A. To stress the harm of air pollution to human beings.
B. To predict how many people will buy the new device.
C. To show the potential impact of the new device on the world.
D. To explain the skills of selling the new device to the poor people.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“and the basic facilities necessary for water purification are not readily available, water splitting (分解) is extremely difficult(而且水净化所必需的基本设施并不容易获得，水的分解非常困难)”可知，此处是指干净的水相对稀缺，所以scarce意为“稀缺的”。故选A。

Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, tested simulated (模拟) Martian soil to determine its suitability for growing rice. The researchers found that the soil contained all the essential nutrients needed for the crop to grow.
However, it would be a bit challenging for the plants to survive in the soil that has perchlorate, a chemical that has been detected on Mars’ surface and can be poisonous to plants.
The team grew rice plants in a Martian soil simulant primarily made of Mojave Desert basalt (玄武岩). However, the new-grown plants developed slighter shoots and thinner roots than the plants that grew from the potting mix. Even replacing just 25 percent of the simulant with a potting mix made a big difference, the team found.
The team of researchers then conducted an experiment to grow rice in soil containing perchlorate. They used a wild rice variety and two genetically edited varieties, which were designed to stand up to environmental stressors such as drought, and tested them in Mars-simulated soil with and without perchlorate.
The study revealed that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.
“We want to send humans to Mars but we cannot take everything there. It’s going to be expensive,” said Ramachandran. The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions.
12. How did the researchers conduct their study
A. By asking questions. B. By carrying out experiments.
C. By making a case study. D. By referring to former studies.
13. The gene-edited variety grows better in one kilogram of soil containing ______.
A. one gram of perchlorate B. two grams of perchlorate
C. three grams of perchlorate D. four grams of perchlorate
14. Why did the researchers want to grow rice on Mars
A. To find a wonderful way to make money.
B. To support the growing population on Earth.
C. To help astronauts feed themselves on Mars.
D. To enable people to eat new varieties of rice.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. What Should We Grow on Mars
B. How Did Martian Soil Change Over Time
C. People Are Likely to Live on Mars Years Later
D. Martian Soil May Have All the Essential Nutrients Rice Needs
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“The study revealed that a concentration of three grams of perchlorate per kilogram of soil resulted in no growth of rice plants. However, when the concentration was reduced to one gram per kilogram, one of the genetically edited lines successfully grew both a shoot and a root, while the wild variety was only able to grow a root.(研究表明，每公斤土壤中含有3克高氯酸盐的浓度导致水稻无法生长。然而，当浓度降低到每公斤1克时，其中一个基因编辑的品系成功地长出了芽和根，而野生品种只能长出根)”可知，在含有1克高氯酸盐的1公斤土壤中生长的基因编辑过的品种长的更好。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The discovery could be a game-changer for future missions to Mars, as it could enable astronauts to grow their own food on the planet, reducing the need for costly and complex resupply missions.(这一发现可能会改变未来的火星任务，因为它可以使宇航员在火星上种植自己的食物，减少昂贵而复杂的补给任务的需要)”可推知，研究者想要在火星上种植水稻是为了帮助宇航员在火星上养活自己。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Recent research has found that Martian (火星的) soil contains all the essential nutrients necessary for growing rice, planetary scientist Abhilash Ramachandran of the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, providing new possibilities for agriculture on the Red Planet.(费耶特维尔阿肯色大学的行星科学家Abhilash Ramachandran在月球和行星科学会议上报告说，最近的研究发现，火星土壤含有种植水稻所需的所有必需营养素，这为这颗红色星球上的农业提供了新的可能性)”可知，本文主要讲的是火星土壤可能含有水稻种植所需的所有必要养分。由此可知，“火星土壤可能含有水稻所需的所有必需营养素”适合作本文的标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作为中国古代的诸多奇迹之一，丝绸不仅仅是一种纺织品，它是一种文化符号，是优雅的体现。文章对其进行了详细介绍。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：丝绸摸起来非常柔软，在中国历史上一直存在。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。动词feel意为“感觉”。在非限制性定语从句中主语which代指silk，silk为不可数名词。故填feels。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：来自浙江杭州的杭珞缎以其轻盈柔软的品质而闻名，而来自江苏南京的云锦，一种经常用于皇室服装的豪华布料，代表了当时中国的丝绸编织技术。根据“its light and soft quality”可知，此处是指以其轻盈柔软的品质而闻名，be famous for意为“以……闻名”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词for。故填for。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：来自浙江杭州的杭珞缎以其轻盈柔软的品质而闻名，而来自江苏南京的云锦，一种经常用于皇室服装的豪华布料，代表了当时中国的丝绸编织技术。动词use意为“使用”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语a luxurious cloth构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填used。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：云锦是最好的手工织锦，这是一个复杂的程序，包括一百多个步骤。此处是限定性定语从句，先行词为procedure“程序”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或which。故填that或which。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：时间、耐心和技巧都在它的天堂之美中起着至关重要的作用。根据time可知，此处应用名词patience表示“耐心”作主语，不可数名词。故填patience。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：西汉时期（公元前206年—公元24年），外交家和探险家张骞开辟了西域之路，丝绸在中亚各国得到了发扬光大，后来又扩展到欧亚大陆其他地区甚至更远的地方。在with的复合结构中，动词open意为“开辟”，和逻辑主语diplomat and explorer Zhang Qian构成主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故填opening。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在中国艺术家的手中，最细的线可以编织出无限可能的画面，最柔软的材料可以穿越数千年。根据“of Chinese artists”可知，此处特指中国艺术家的手中，所以应用定冠词the表示特指。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：在中国艺术家的手中，最细的线可以编织出无限可能的画面，最柔软的材料可以穿越数千年。“the thinnest threads (线) can weave pictures of endless possibilities”和“the softest material can travel through thousands of years”构成并列关系，应用连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：作为中国古代的诸多奇迹之一，丝绸不仅仅是一种纺织品。wonder意为“奇迹”，为可数名词，在many后应用复数形式。故填wonders。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：作为中国古代的诸多奇迹之一，丝绸不仅仅是一种纺织品。此处作状语，应用副词merely表示“仅仅”。故填merely。

47. 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。
After his wife died, Ramu was left alone in this world. He was sixty-five years old. With time going by, Ramu’s sadness increased. The more he thought, the stronger his belief became that it was useless to live in this world anymore.
One morning, he went out for a walk and didn’t return to his home. His steps took him out of city and there he saw a bus. He took that bus. After a few hours, the bus was passing through a thick forest and stopped there for a break.
Ramu stepped out' of the bus and headed in a direction. After a while, he heard a voice from the bus calling for passengers to return but he decided not to return. He wanted to get lost in the thick forest.
In the thick forest, even during the day there was slight darkness. Ramu was walking as if he was not conscious (有知觉的). While walking, he went towards the side of a mountain. His steps suddenly stopped at a place where the mountain opened towards a valley below. There he saw the path was blocked by two sticks and a sign written in big letters—DANGER.
He couldn’t understand who would write this in such a thick forest. While looking around, Ramu walked a little further towards the valley, seeing a deep ditch (壕沟) ahead. At that moment, his heart trembled (颤抖).He sat aside, thinking how a moment ago he wanted to die but now he was scared.
With a calmed mind, he started wandering, looking for the person who did this. While wandering, he saw many signs. He saw DANGER/ BEWARE sign at many dangerous places and POISONOUS FRUITS sign was written on many trees.
He realized that if those signs were not put up, anyone could have fallen into one of those deep ditches and lost his life. Seeing all this, Ramu called out loudly, “Brother, who saved my life ! I want to see you.”
Just then, from behind the leaves, an old man appeared laughing and said, “I have been watching you for a long time. Tell me how did you come here ”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
After telling the old man his story, Ramu asked, “What are you doing here ” The old man replied that many years ago, while passing through this forest, his only son fell into a deep ditch hidden under grass and lost his life. Suddenly, the old man’s world went blank. Then he thought there must be more such dangerous places in this forest. So he decided to live here to help others. He wrote warnings at many dangerous places. This forest was not as dangerous as it had been before.
It got late, so the old man invited Ramu to his place so that he could return home the next day. The next morning, when Ramu woke up, the old man said, “Let me show you that path to go out of this forest.” Hearing this, Ramu refused to leave, saying, “I would like to stay here with you. As you say, there are still many places in this forest that need care. I have given up the intention of dying and learned that by staying alive, I can help others and save others from dying.” The old man smiled and accepted Ramu’s decision.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了65岁的Ramu的妻子去世了，他感觉非常孤单，甚至觉得活着没有了希望。一天，他出去散步，没有回家。他踏着脚步走出城市，在那里乘坐了一辆公交车。途中，他看到了一片茂密的森林。在那里，Ramu下了车，朝着深林深处走去。他本来想结束自己的生命，但是他却在森林的深处看到了很多写着“危险”的警示牌。由于这些警示牌，Ramu没有死去。他想看看是谁设置的这些警示牌，所以他在森林中大声的呼喊。随后，一个老人从森林中走了出来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“告诉老人他的故事后，拉姆问：“你在这里干什么？””可知，第一段可描述老人告知Ramu他在森林里设置很多警示牌的原因。
②由第二段首句内容“天色已晚，老人邀请拉姆到他家去，这样他第二天就可以回家了。”可知，第二段可描写Ramu决定留下，和老人一起去做一些帮助别人的事情。
2.续写线索：老人出现——询问——告知原因——邀请回家——决定留下——和老人一起帮助别人
3.词汇激活
行为类
①决定做某事：decide to do sth./determine to do sth.
②帮助某人：help sb./do sb. a favor/give sb. a hand
③拒绝：refused/decline
2.情绪类

②微笑：smile/beam
【点睛】【高分句型1】 The next morning, when Ramu woke up, the old man said, “Let me show you that path to go out of this forest.”（运用了when引导的时间状语从句）
【高分句型2】 I have given up the intention of dying and learned that by staying alive, I can help others and save others from dying.” （运用了that引导的宾语从句）
