You’re never too old to achieve your dreams — or even break records. A 104-year-old woman named Dorothy Hoffner is such an example. She has just become the oldest person to skydive (跳伞), and she had the time of her life doing it. After touching ground following her jump with a US instructor, she proudly said, “Age is just a number.”
Hoffner took to the skies of Northern Illinois with the help of Skydive Chicago, making her way to the town of Ottawa for the jump. For all the excitement, this wasn’t her first time jumping out of the plane. Hoffner’s first skydiving took place a few years ago, when she was100. Although back then the instructor helped push them out together, this time she insisted on leading the jump from 13, 500 feet up in the air.
A video shared by Skydive Chicago shows Hoffner determinedly advancing towards the plane on her red walker (助行架) before being helped on board. Sitting among her fellow skydivers, she is all smiles as she waits for her turn. Once the door opens, the woman confidently jumps out of the plane head first.
Before Hoffner’s jump, the record for the oldest person to skydive belonged to 103-year-old Linnea Ingegard Larsson from Sweden, who set it in May 2022. Now, Skydive Chicago is requesting Guinness World Records to certify Hoffner’s jump as the new record.
As for Hoffner, she seems happy with having achieved this, describing the jump as an amazing experience. “It was wonderful up there. The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she says. Now that she has completed this achievement, she is now thinking of her next adventure. Since she is turning 105 in December, she is thinking of celebrating by riding a hot air balloon, saying, “I’ve never been in one of those.”

“Beijing’s Forbidden City can be at risk of being flooded, but it’s not because modern technologies and repairs have deteriorated the drainage (排水) system,” Beijing News Radio reported.
The report is in response to a popular online view: The Forbidden City, the royal palace of Ming and Qing dynasties also known as the Palace Museum, has never been flooded throughout its history of more than 600 years.
Earlier, a video showed ankle-deep water near the Forbidden City’s Cining Palace, where the royal women used to live. Some netizens have questioned whether modern drainage repair works have made the system much weaker.
Di Yajing, an official in control of affairs relating to the site, told Beijing News Radio that the Forbidden City has a complex (复杂的) drainage system. “Rain coming down from roofs was guided to the basement and then to the drains,” she said, adding that rainwater would flow from the central of the palace to both sides, and from north to south, due to differences in heights.
“The drains were cleared once a year in springtime in ancient times and nowadays they are cleared three times a year except in winter,” the report said. “Although the number of clearing increased every year, it’s not modern technology that worsened the ability of the drainage system,” the report said. During the clearing process, workers found lots of modern objects such as plastic bottles and bags, even towels and clothing, and these things resulted in the blocking of the drainage system.
In addition, there are plenty of records that have recorded occasions in which the palace was flooded and some roofs or walls were damaged by floodwaters, according to the report. For example, a rain in 1885 led to floodwaters of about 1 meter deep. Every time people would have to find out the place of blockage, clear it and then the drainage system would work well right away.
8 What does the underlined word “deteriorated” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Fixed up. B. Caused damage to.
C. Taken control of. D. Checked on.
9. Why was the report published
A. To clarify a popular view online.
B. To praise the Forbidden City’s drainage system.
C. To introduce the challenge faced by the Forbidden City.
D. To stress the effect of technology on protecting old buildings.
10. What might have caused the Forbidden City’s being flooded in the video
A. Poor management. B. Buried bricks.
C Pipe cracking. D. Lots of rubbish.
11. What does the report want to say by mentioning the 1885 flood
A. The palace was once destroyed by floods.
B. Beijing has experienced many natural disasters.
C. The drainage system doesn’t always operate perfectly.
D. Ancient architecture suffered a lot to survive until today.
D
Many Silicon Valley parents are becoming more concerned about preventing their children from using screens. Some parents think that even a little screen time can be extremely addictive, so it is better if their children avoid using or seeing these devices completely. However, it is difficult for working adults in the 21st century to give up using a phone at home. So, it’s simpler to employ someone to do this.
“Silicon Valley nanny (保姆)”, who takes children back to a time without screens every day is widely needed. From Cupertino to San Francisco, it’s widely agreed that screen time is harmful to youngsters. Therefore, parents are requesting nannies to keep phones, tablets and computers in a hidden place. Others even offer no-phone agreements.
Research shows that spending too much time on technology can harm young minds. For example, teenagers who use social media frequently are more likely to feel depressed and anxious. Insomnia (失眠) rates have also increased amongst this age group, and an increasing number of children display the signs that they can’t focus attention. These seemingly minor (轻微的) problems could become significant challenges for future generations.
“Many parents come back home and focus on their smartphones, ignoring whatever their children are trying to say,” said Shannon Zimmerman, who works as a nanny in San Jose for families that forbid screen time. “As a nanny, I also call on more parents to spend more time with their kids.”
12. Why are the Silicon Valley nannies greatly needed according to the text
A. To help parents and children balance work and life.
B. To teach children how to use technology responsibly.
C. To keep children away from screens.
D. To encourage children to exercise.
13. What is the result of spending too much time on screens for teenagers
A. Feeling confused. B. Feeling anxious. C. Feeling bored. D. Feeling nervous.
14. What does Shannon suggest parents do
A. Encourage their children more. B. Play games with their children.
C. Stop using smartphones at home. D. Spend more time with their children.
15. What is the text about
A. Parents concern about screen time for children. B. Children are addicted to screen time.
C. All parents limit children to phones. D. Science has no effects on young minds.

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 over 10 years of dreaming and planning and 18 months of very serious considering, my husband and I finally bought a farmhouse about a mile from where I grew up. Neither my husband, David, nor myself had any experience with decoration, but we jumped in with much excitement. There was much to be done before the winter came to knock at our door. We rearranged the garden, laid out the lawn (草坪), and set all the furniture in place. Then there remained only one thing to worry us: We didn’t have a fireplace (壁炉) indoors against the extremely winter.
I knew the perfect choice of person for the work is my uncle, Richard Jones. Being a senior construct worker (建筑工人) for almost 40 years, he could do the job better than anyone else. On thinking of the idea that my house would be in my uncle’s hands, my heart was filled with expectation and comfort. The problem was that he lived far away in Florida, about an 18-hour drive from our home in Cortland. Another problem was the cost of building a fireplace. Buying the farmhouse cost almost all our savings, so could we even afford to pay him
Much to my relief, the drive turned out to be no problem at all. On receiving my call, my uncle, at the age of 65, loaded his suitcase and his tools into his truck and headed to our place. When I asked how much he would charge, he replied, “We’ll figure up a price when the job is finished. Just have coffee and cookies ready when I get there. The more you bake cookies, the lower the price will be.”
My uncle wasn’t joking. As long as I had served coffee and cookies, he could work pleasantly. The man was obviously born with a sweet tooth. For two weeks, the coffee machine never stopped, and the cookies often disappeared before I could put them into the cookie box.
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。
The construction was slowly coming to an end.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I found the paycheck (工资) lying quietly next to the coffee machine.

Before Hoffner’s jump, the record for the oldest person to skydive belonged to 103-year-old Linnea Ingegard Larsson from Sweden, who set it in May 2022. Now, Skydive Chicago is requesting Guinness World Records to certify Hoffner’s jump as the new record.
As for Hoffner, she seems happy with having achieved this, describing the jump as an amazing experience. “It was wonderful up there. The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she says. Now that she has completed this achievement, she is now thinking of her next adventure. Since she is turning 105 in December, she is thinking of celebrating by riding a hot air balloon, saying, “I’ve never been in one of those.”

“Beijing’s Forbidden City can be at risk of being flooded, but it’s not because modern technologies and repairs have deteriorated the drainage (排水) system,” Beijing News Radio reported.
The report is in response to a popular online view: The Forbidden City, the royal palace of Ming and Qing dynasties also known as the Palace Museum, has never been flooded throughout its history of more than 600 years.
Earlier, a video showed ankle-deep water near the Forbidden City’s Cining Palace, where the royal women used to live. Some netizens have questioned whether modern drainage repair works have made the system much weaker.
Di Yajing, an official in control of affairs relating to the site, told Beijing News Radio that the Forbidden City has a complex (复杂的) drainage system. “Rain coming down from roofs was guided to the basement and then to the drains,” she said, adding that rainwater would flow from the central of the palace to both sides, and from north to south, due to differences in heights.
“The drains were cleared once a year in springtime in ancient times and nowadays they are cleared three times a year except in winter,” the report said. “Although the number of clearing increased every year, it’s not modern technology that worsened the ability of the drainage system,” the report said. During the clearing process, workers found lots of modern objects such as plastic bottles and bags, even towels and clothing, and these things resulted in the blocking of the drainage system.
In addition, there are plenty of records that have recorded occasions in which the palace was flooded and some roofs or walls were damaged by floodwaters, according to the report. For example, a rain in 1885 led to floodwaters of about 1 meter deep. Every time people would have to find out the place of blockage, clear it and then the drainage system would work well right away.
8. What does the underlined word “deteriorated” in paragraph 1 mean
A Fixed up. B. Caused damage to.
C. Taken control of. D. Checked on.
9. Why was the report published
A. To clarify a popular view online.
B. To praise the Forbidden City’s drainage system.
C. To introduce the challenge faced by the Forbidden City.
D. To stress the effect of technology on protecting old buildings.
10. What might have caused the Forbidden City’s being flooded in the video
A. Poor management. B. Buried bricks.
C. Pipe cracking. D. Lots of rubbish.
11. What does the report want to say by mentioning the 1885 flood
A. The palace was once destroyed by floods.
B. Beijing has experienced many natural disasters.
C. The drainage system doesn’t always operate perfectly.
D. Ancient architecture suffered a lot to survive until today.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文，主要介绍了北京故宫的排水系统的相关情况。
【8题详解】
词句推测题。根据第一段“Beijing’s Forbidden City can be at risk of being flooded, but it’s not because modern technologies and repairs have deteriorated the drainage (排水) system. (北京的紫禁城可能面临被洪水淹没的风险，但这并不是因为现代技术和维修使排水系统_____了)”可知，既然存在风险，说明排水系统被破坏了，但却并非现代科技和修理损坏了故宫的排水系统，画线词与caused damage to意义相近，故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The report is in response to a popular online view: The Forbidden City, the royal palace of Ming and Qing dynasties also known as the Palace Museum, has never been flooded throughout its history of more than 600 years. (这篇报道回应了网上的一种流行观点：紫禁城，明清两代的皇家宫殿，也被称为故宫博物院，在其600多年的历史中从未被淹没过)”可知，发布报告是为了澄清一个在网上流行的错误观点，故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“During the clearing process, workers found lots of modern objects such as plastic bottles and bags, even towels and clothing, and these things resulted in the blocking of the drainage system. (在清理过程中，工人们发现了很多现代物品，如塑料瓶和塑料袋，甚至毛巾和衣服，这些东西导致排水系统堵塞)”可知，视频中北京故宫被洪水所淹的原因可能是各种垃圾堵住了排水系统，故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition, there are plenty of records that have recorded occasions in which the palace was flooded and some roofs or walls were damaged by floodwaters, according to the report.For example, a rain in 1885 led to floodwaters of about 1 meter deep. (此外，据报道，有大量的记录记录了宫殿被洪水淹没的情况，一些屋顶或墙壁被洪水损坏。例如，1885年的一场雨导致了大约1米深的洪水。)”可知，文章列举1885年故宫被洪水所淹的事例是为了说明故宫的排水系统并不是一直都运行良好的，故选C项。
D
Many Silicon Valley parents are becoming more concerned about preventing their children from using screens. Some parents think that even a little screen time can be extremely addictive, so it is better if their children avoid using or seeing these devices completely. However, it is difficult for working adults in the 21st century to give up using a phone at home. So, it’s simpler to employ someone to do this.
“Silicon Valley nanny (保姆)”, who takes children back to a time without screens every day is widely needed. From Cupertino to San Francisco, it’s widely agreed that screen time is harmful to youngsters. Therefore, parents are requesting nannies to keep phones, tablets and computers in a hidden place. Others even offer no-phone agreements.
Research shows that spending too much time on technology can harm young minds. For example, teenagers who use social media frequently are more likely to feel depressed and anxious. Insomnia (失眠) rates have also increased amongst this age group, and an increasing number of children display the signs that they can’t focus attention. These seemingly minor (轻微的) problems could become significant challenges for future generations.
“Many parents come back home and focus on their smartphones, ignoring whatever their children are trying to say,” said Shannon Zimmerman, who works as a nanny in San Jose for families that forbid screen time. “As a nanny, I also call on more parents to spend more time with their kids.”
12. Why are the Silicon Valley nannies greatly needed according to the text
A. To help parents and children balance work and life.
B. To teach children how to use technology responsibly.
C. To keep children away from screens.
D. To encourage children to exercise.
13. What is the result of spending too much time on screens for teenagers
A. Feeling confused. B. Feeling anxious. C. Feeling bored. D. Feeling nervous.
14. What does Shannon suggest parents do
A. Encourage their children more. B. Play games with their children.
C. Stop using smartphones at home. D. Spend more time with their children.
15. What is the text about
A. Parents concern about screen time for children. B. Children are addicted to screen time.
C. All parents limit children to phones. D. Science has no effects on young minds.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

So, it’s simpler to employ someone to do this.(一些家长认为，即使是一小段时间的屏幕时间也会非常上瘾，所以最好让他们的孩子完全避免使用或看到这些设备。然而，对于21世纪的工作成年人来说，放弃在家使用电话是很难的。所以，雇人来做这件事更简单)”可知，硅谷的保姆是为了让孩子远离屏幕。故选C。
【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“As a nanny, I also call on more parents to spend more time with their kids.(作为一个保姆，我也呼吁更多的父母花更多的时间和他们的孩子在一起)”可知，Shannon建议父母们花更多的时间和孩子在一起。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many Silicon Valley parents are becoming more concerned about preventing their children from using screens.

____18____ Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.
Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall. ____19____.

【16题详解】
根据上文“Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints (说很多事，别人什么也记不住。说一些事情，人们就会记住一些。说一件事，人们就会记住所有。想表达清楚的观点？)”结合后文主要就如何清楚表达观点提出了建议，故C选项“这四条建议不容错过”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Express more, explain less.(多表达，少解释)”以及后文“We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it. But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression.(我们认为观众不理解的东西，所以我们解释它。但在这种情况下，解释是为了纠正错误的表达)”可知，本句主要在解释这种行为，结合后文可知，观众不理解的东西，所以我们解释它，说明解释是一种理解行为。故E选项“解释通常是一种理解行为”符合语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.(无论你在哪里看到一个单词或概念的列表，问问自己：我是否需要所有这些单词或概念来吸引我的听众的注意力，或者其中一些是不需要的？当你删除不太重要的想法时，你的听众会获得更多)”可知，本段的主旨是删除不太重要的想法，故A选项“去掉不必要的想法”符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall.(把段落限制在三句话以内。如果你要在文件或电子邮件中写下你的想法，试着把段落缩短到三句话或更少。这会让读者更容易理解你的观点，因为他们需要处理的内容更少。因为你写的是简短、直接的要点，而不是长篇幅的文章，你可能会发现自己写得不够全面)”可知，本段的建议是“把段落限制在三句话以内”，这是一种写作规则，本句为本段最后一句，说明这种写作规则的好处。故F选项“每个人都能从这个写作规则中受益”符合语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own, writing, hearing it aloud will always identify places to cut.(听听你自己说的话。不管你对自己的文章复习了多少遍，写出来，听到它大声地说出来总能找出要删减的地方)”可知，上文提到了大声地阅读自己的文章，来找出需要删减的地方，G选项中read it aloud对应上文hearing it aloud。故G选项“你可以自己大声朗读来找出单词”符合语境，故选G。

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 over 10 years of dreaming and planning and 18 months of very serious considering, my husband and I finally bought a farmhouse about a mile from where I grew up. Neither my husband, David, nor myself had any experience with decoration, but we jumped in with much excitement. There was much to be done before the winter came to knock at our door. We rearranged the garden, laid out the lawn (草坪), and set all the furniture in place. Then there remained only one thing to worry us: We didn’t have a fireplace (壁炉) indoors against the extremely winter.
I knew the perfect choice of person for the work is my uncle, Richard Jones. Being a senior construct worker (建筑工人) for almost 40 years, he could do the job better than anyone else. On thinking of the idea that my house would be in my uncle’s hands, my heart was filled with expectation and comfort. The problem was that he lived far away in Florida, about an 18-hour drive from our home in Cortland. Another problem was the cost of building a fireplace. Buying the farmhouse cost almost all our savings, so could we even afford to pay him
Much to my relief, the drive turned out to be no problem at all. On receiving my call, my uncle, at the age of 65, loaded his suitcase and his tools into his truck and headed to our place. When I asked how much he would charge, he replied, “We’ll figure up a price when the job is finished. Just have coffee and cookies ready when I get there. The more you bake cookies, the lower the price will be.”
My uncle wasn’t joking. As long as I had served coffee and cookies, he could work pleasantly. The man was obviously born with a sweet tooth. For two weeks, the coffee machine never stopped, and the cookies often disappeared before I could put them into the cookie box.

【答案】The construction was slowly coming to an end. Finally, a perfect fireplace appeared before our eyes, with its well designed looks. Full of gratitude, we showed sincere thanks to my uncle, who was engaged in the construction for two weeks. In spite of his refusal, we insisted on him receiving a paycheck. Several days later, he loaded his tools and left our farmhouse, leaving us warmth and love against the bitter winter. After seeing him off, I headed for the living room for a cup of coffee, but what I spotted astonished me.
I found the paycheck (工资) lying quietly next to the coffee machine. Beside it was a note which read, “Dear, you have paid for the fireplace with all the delicious coffee and cookies.” Seeing that, tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes. Holding the paycheck, I could feel the deep love and care from my uncle. Every time we gathered around the fireplace enjoying the warmth, I would thought of the man with a sweet tooth. It was my uncle that taught me the value of giving, which I would treasure forever.
