Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting (编织) who tum their love for crafting into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every stitch (针法) they make. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they've crafted thousands of items in support of the important things.
Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was inspired to have the group knit hats for infant (婴儿) patients with heart disease at Children's Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional effect these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.
Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children's Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.
Throughout the infants' admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to prove the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.
4.What do we know about the hats from paragraph 2
A.They centre on spiritual comfort.
B.They have holiday food subjects.
C.They are knitted by the caregivers
D.They are worn on child parents' birthdays.
5.Why do the caregivers wear the hats first
A.To hold an artistic activity.
B.To see off the recovered patients.
C.To relax the infants for treatments
D.To welcome the arrival of various holidays.
6.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Why some holiday celebrations are held.
B.What the hats can be used as on holidays.
C.Why some special photos are important.
D.What the hats can be matched with.

Vast lands of America are dominated by corn, nearly 100macres of it, stretching from Ohio to the Dakotas. What once was forest today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol (乙醇), cars.
Now, the nation's airlines want to power their planes with corn, too. United Airlines signed a deal with a Nebraska ethanol company to buy enough sustainable fuel, to power 50,000 flights a year. The government could decide on its tax incentives (税收激励) for the industry as soon as December. “Mark my words, the next 20 years, corn farmers are going to provide 95% of all the sustainable airline fuel,” President Biden said in July.
The airlines' ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America's Corn Belt, stimulating farmers and ethanol producers, but potentially further damaging one of the nation's most important resources: groundwater.
Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. “We're on track to massively increase water usage without any real sense of how sensitive our groundwater is,” said Jeffrey Broberg, who is concerned about groundwater in Minnesota, a major corn state.
The Department of Energy said in a statement that “water use is a critical part of the conversation surrounding bio-energy sustainability”. It pointed to a 2022 department study that concluded that the United States could significantly reduce pressure on groundwater by shifting fuel production away from water-intensive crops like corn, instead growing more crops that don't require irrigation (灌溉), like various types of straw, grasses and trees.
Hopefully, a better approach will be soon studied and adopted.
8.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.Farmers will increase 95% of their ethanol production.
B.The sustainable fuel will not be popular in the future.
C.Corn will be an influential source in the fuel industry.
D.The government stops the new fuel for the groundwater.
9.What does the underlined word “stimulating” mean in paragraph 3
A.Preventing. B.Motivating. C.Destroying. D.Impressing.
10.What is the potential risk of the increased use of ethanol in fuel
A.The shortage of corn production.
B.The increase in global warming.
C.A rise in clean-energy tax credits.
D.Higher stress on the groundwater.
11.What did the 2022 study suggest according to the last paragraph
A.Expand the corn planting area.
B.Use some alternative materials.
C.Cut down the daily water usage.
D.Turn to the government for help.
D
The design theory behind a pair of tiny robots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, as well as search and-rescue tasks. Modeled after a water strider (水黾), an insect, the two robots each weigh in at 8 and 55 milligrams, and may mark the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots in the world, according to Washington State University (WSU).
Developed by a team of WSU researchers, the robots' tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can “remember” their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of bulky moving parts.
Both the robots' motors are each made up of two shape memory alloys, allowing them to move their fins as fast as 40 times a second while also lifting over 150 times their weight. “They're very technologically sound. The development of the very lightweight robots opens up new possibilities in micro-robotics,” said Conor Trygstad, a material engineering PhD student and study lead author. “Although the robots are impressive when compared to other robots, the pair still fall behind their biological relatives',” Trygstad said. They can currently move at a speed of about six millimeters a second; a water strider, by comparison, speeds along at about a meter per second. For now, the robots also require wired (连线的) power sources, thus seriously preventing any real-world applications for the moment.
Going forward, however, the team plans to copy other small insect species while also creating a new water strider robot which can move at a higher speed. Depending on using small batteries could also greatly increase the robots' areas of use, If the breakthrough designs continue improving, similar micro-robots could one day be employed to monitor hard-to-reachor dangerous environments.
12.What is the inspiration for the two robots
A.A special monitor. B.The lightest micro robot.
C.An insect species. D.A search-and rescue task
13.What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2
A.Cheap. B.Huge. C.Cool D.Fast.
14.What might Conor Trygstad agree with
A.Both robots can identify sound. B.Both robots need wireless power sources.
C.Both robots work better than water striders. D.Both robots have weaknesses besides strengths.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Robots Are Saving Environment B.Shape Memory Alloys Are The Key
C.Human Beings Learn From Animals D.Two Micro robots Can Play A Big Part

第二节 (满分25分)
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 was never a fast runner and thus I always didn’t like running. Throughout my childhood, whenever we competed in the 50-meter run, the 400-meter, or any other type of race, I would finish in the bottom half. In my late teens, as a member of a baseball team, I was the slowest runner on the team. In the preseason training, I was always the one running by myself at the end.
Therefore, twenty years later, when I entered my first official running race — a 3,000-meter challenge in my city — at age 38, I certainly didn’t expect to win or come close to winning.
I was there because my college friend Jim Hosek was the director of the race, and he asked me to run. The race was aimed at raising money for the unfortunate patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their families to be brave, determined, and confident with sportsmanship.
It was a heartwarming program.I wanted to support it, so I showed up, paid the entrance fee, had a number pinned (把……别住) on my back, and moved over to the starting line. There, I waited with about 300 other runners for the race to begin. I was nervous. Would I be the last one to finish a race again Could I even finish the race I wondered.
Before long, someone spoke into a microphone, “Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale (秤), please.” Knowing I was over 200 pounds, I walked down to the scale. A man told me to stand on it. “Two hundred and three pounds,” he said. Then he wrote down the race number that was on my back. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he did so,and then I was told there would be an award ceremony (仪式) after the race. One award was for the first finisher in the over 200-pound group, and this special award would be announced at the end of the ceremony.
Not expecting the award, I ran towards the starting line, never realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds.
Paragraph 1:
Soon after, the race started.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲现在美国的航空公司希望用玉米为飞机提供动力。
8.推理判断题。根据第一段“What once was forest today produces the corn that feeds people, cattle and, when made into ethanol(乙醇), cars.(昔日的森林如今变成了玉米地,可以供养人、养牛,在玉米制成乙醇后,还能为汽车提供燃料。)”和第二段中的“ Now, the nation’s airlines want to power their planes with corn, too.(现在,美国的航空公司也想用玉米为飞机提供燃料。)”可知,玉米将成为燃料工业中有影响力的来源。故选C项。
9.词句猜测题。根据第三段“The airlines’ ambitious goal would likely require nearly doubling ethanol production, which airlines say, with great expectation, would decrease their greenhouse gas emissions. If they succeed, it could transform America’s Corn Belt, stimulating farmers and ethanol producers, but potentially further damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.(航空公司雄心勃勃的目标可能需要将乙醇产量增加近一倍,航空公司满怀期望地表示,乙醇产量将减少温室气体排放。如果他们成功了,这可能会改变美国的玉米带, 农民和乙醇生产商,但可能会进一步损害美国最重要的资源之一:地下水。)”以及从该词后的 but可知, stimulating 和后文的“damaging one of the nation’s most important resources: groundwater.(损害美国最重要的资源之一:地下水)”构成转折关系,所以猜测 stimulating应表示“刺激”。故选B项。
10.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Corn requires a lot of water to grow and it can take hundreds of gallons to produce a single gallon of ethanol. But as airlines take the idea of ethanol, the vital groundwater faces serious risks. (玉米的生长需要大量的水,而生产一加仑乙醇可能需要数百加仑的水。但随着航空公司采用乙醇的想法,重要的地下水面临着严重的风险。)”可知,燃料中乙醇使用增加的潜在风险是对地下水的压力更大。故选D项。
11.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It pointed to a 2022 department study that concluded that the United States could significantly reduce pressure on groundwater by shifting fuel production away from water-intensive crops like corn, instead growing more crops that don’t require irrigation(灌溉), like various types of straw, grasses and trees. Hopefully, a better approach will be soon studied and adopted.(它指出,2022年国务院的一项研究得出结论,美国可以通过将燃料生产从玉米等耗水作物转向种植更多不需要灌溉的作物,如各种类型的秸秆、草和树木,来显著减轻地下水压力。希望不久将研究并采用一种更好的方法。)”可知,2022年的研究建议使用一些替代材料来生产燃料。故选B项。

36.has exploded 37.are crowded 38.from 39.shyness 40.protects 41.heavily 42.hours 43.an 44.trying 45.when
【导语】这是一篇新闻稿。文章主要讲冰雪为中国东北的冬季旅游带来了温暖。最近,冰雪旅游在中国东北地区的受欢迎程度呈爆炸式增长。
36.考查时态。句意:最近,冰雪旅游在中国东北地区的受欢迎程度呈爆炸式增长。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词,the popularity of ice and snow tourism in Northeast China,为第三人称单数形式,与explode为主动关系,再根据时间状语Lately可知,此处应用现在完成时。故填has exploded。
37.考查时态语态。句意:哈尔滨的主要温泉度假胜地挤满了交通堵塞,与春节旅游高峰相当,来自中国南方的游客在旅游人群中占了很大一部分。 分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词,Major hot springs resorts与crowd为被动关系,且这里时态应与本句后面make保持一致,用一般现在时。故填are crowded。
38.考查介词。句意:你如何区分南方人和北方人?分析句子可知,这里考查tell A from B表“区分或辨别A与B”,为固定搭配。故填from。
39.考查名词。句意:中国南方人可以概括为四个特点:浅色羽绒服,可爱的小帽子,手里拿着手提箱,在公共澡堂里害羞。分析句子可知,本空应该填shy的名词形式 shyness与前面的“ a lovely small hat, a suitcase in hand”并列,且shyness为不可数名词,符合句意。故填shyness。
40.考查主谓一致。句意:网上的一些人为这些南方人提供了实用的建议,强调需要衣服来保护他们免受室外严寒的影响,同时确保他们在室内不会大汗淋漓。此空是定语从句中的谓语,时态应用一般现在时表客观事实,其单复数形式要根据先行词判断。先行词 clothing 是不可数名词,故用单数形式。故填protects。
41.考查副词。句意:网上的一些人为这些南方人提供了实用的建议,强调需要衣服来保护他们免受室外严寒的影响,同时确保他们在室内不会大汗淋漓。此空用副词 heavily作状语修饰动词sweat,意为“出很多汗”。故填heavily。
42.考查名词复数。句意:为了促进游客出行,哈尔滨延长了公共汽车和地铁的运营时间。operating hours 指的是“营业时间”,此处 hour需要用复数形式。故填hours。
43.考查冠词。句意:根据哈尔滨市政府的公告,哈尔滨的冰雪季节将持续到2024年3月底。此处指的是关于冰雪季时间的一项公告,因此选用不定冠词,且announcement为元音音素开始的单词。故填an。
44.考查非谓语。句意:对于试图避开高峰时段的游客,建议计划在元旦和春节之后参观,元旦和春节时旅游流量正处于高峰期。分析句子可知,此空考查非谓语,travelers与try为主动关系,再由句意可知,这里应用现在分词作后置定语。故填trying。
45.考查定语从句。句意:对于试图避开高峰时段的游客,建议计划在元旦和春节之后参观,元旦和春节时旅游流量正处于高峰期。此处为非限制定语从句,先行词是 New Year’s Day and Spring Festival,在从句中作时间状语,所以应用关系副词when。故填when。

47. Soon after, the race started. While I was running, I saw many runners pass me on the way. Minutes later, I already felt tired. However, to encourage those in need, I tried to show the best of me, without worrying about the result. I kept moving forward as fast as I could. After most runners finished the race, I finally made it to the finish line. Despite the tiredness, I was satisfied. Shortly after the race, the award ceremony began and several awards were presented.
Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced. Confused and excited, I walked up to the winner’s platform and was awarded a medal. As the crowd cheered and clapped loudly, I felt warmth in my heart. After the ceremony, I learned from my friend Jim that there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds. Although I only beat one person, Jim praised me for my determination, courage, and kindness. Honestly, I was proud of myself. This race increased my love for running and my confidence in myself.
