In many respects one could call John Beltzer the world’s most successful songwriter. Every song that he writes is guaranteed to be a real hit not on the popularity charts, but in a child’s heart. The reason for this is that every song that Beltzer writes is for a seriously sick child. The songs never fail to make the children smile or to raise their spirits. They also play them over and over. This means more by far to Beltzer than being ranked high on the popularity charts.
Beltzer is the founder and president of Songs of Love, a nonprofit group. This group combines the voluntary efforts of musicians, songwriters, singers, and studio technicians to create unique, happy songs that reflect a child’s personality.
Beltzer believes that music is very helpful. When an adult listens to a favorite song, it makes him feel good. Thus when a little child listens to a song written just for him, the result is very uplifting. Since its founding in 1996, Songs of Love has been responsible for the composition, taping and sending more than 780 songs to children in life threatening conditions, all for free.
Unmarried and with no children of his own, Beltzer had never thought much about writing songs for children. He says that one day while he was walking down the street, the idea came to him and he instantly felt that he could make a success of it. He went home and called St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. He told them he wanted to write songs for seriously sick children, and wrote six songs in four days. Upon receiving the songs, the hospital called him with high praise. Soon after that the mother of a little girl with cancer called him to thank him and then the little girl herself did so. At that point he knew that this was his “calling”.
As is true with most charitable ventures, Songs of Love is almost always in need of money. To help in this respect, Beltzer has moved back home to live with his retired parents, who also help support his work. His long term goal is to offer songs to patients of all ages, including nursing home residents and the mentally ill. Among other efforts to raise money, Beltzer sells CDs and tapes, expecting much bigger sales. Meanwhile, Beltzer himself continues to be the most productive songwriter in Songs of Love, making sure that all requests for songs written for critically sick children will be met.
4.Why is John Beltzer, to some extent, called the world’s most successful songwriter
A.Because every song he composes tends to be a hit.
B.Because all songs are played over and over again.
C.Because his songs are intended specially for those unlucky children.
D.Because he as well as his songs always enjoys grand popularity.
5.Which word can replace the underlined word “uplifting”in Paragraph 3
A.Satisfactory. B.Adequate.
C.Inspirational. D.Appropriate.
6.What can we infer from the whole passage
A.Beltzer had had the idea of writing songs for seriously sick children long before actually doing so.
B.The hospital in Tennessee didn’t respond to Beltzer’s request immediately and positively.
C.Songwriting is the only source of income for Songs of Love.
D.Running charitable activities makes Beltzer’s finances really tight.
7.Which of the following words can best describe John Beltzer
A.Social and intelligent.
B.Compassionate and considerate.
C.Conventional and patient.
D.Confident and ambitious.
C
Science fiction writers create an imaginary world. The way things work in your imaginary world will be based on actual science. So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary world. And you have to follow them. If humans have evolved to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. If your robots write poetry but not fiction, then you can’t throw a novelist robot into Chapter 8. The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, your readers’ reaction might be, “What the hell!” The imaginative spell is broken. You’ve pulled the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its world for yourself in great detail. Decide: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in the new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let your readers know enough to understand what’s going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.
When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they’re actually there.
8.What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction
A.Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.
B.Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.
C.Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.
D.Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.
9.How is the second paragraph mainly developed
A.By making comparisons.
B.By analysing causes.
C.By following the time order.
D.By giving examples.
10.What can we know from the passage
A.Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers’ rules are true.
B.It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.
C.It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.
D.It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.
11.What is the passage mainly about
A.How to do scientific research.
B.How to write science fiction.
C.What to expect from science fiction.
D.How to raise interest in science.
D
A Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can catch waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.
The state run Xinhua News Agency reported that the robot launched on the government’s Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30 kilogram robot, called NEO 01,was developed by Origin Space. Founded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub Shenzhen, Origin Space has been dedicated to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way in future technology capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).
The world’s first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, Inc was established in 2010. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan’s Astroscale. Astroscale’s technology uses magnets(磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO 01 will use a net to catch waste and then burn it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used for too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.
Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO 01 will serve as a prototype(雏形) of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.
The Xinhua News Agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near Earth asteroid to collect material. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.
12.What can we know about NEO 01
A.It weighs 60 kilograms.
B.It was created by Planetary Resources, Inc.
C.It will be burnt after accomplishing its mission.
D.It is mainly used to catch space waste.
13.Why does China try to land a spacecraft on a near Earth asteroid
A.To collect material.
B.To build a defense system.
C.To catch up with Russia and America.
D.To support the development of the space industry.
14.What can be learned from the text
A.China will be the most powerful country in space by 2030.
B.Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.
C.It is those useless satellites that make space waste.
D.The robot will look into deep space for more waste.
15.What can be the best title for the text
A.NEO 01, a Smart Robot Used in Space
B.A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space Waste
C.A New Robot Makes China a Space Power
D.NEO 01, the Pioneer of Future Space Robots

On June 9, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist...Mourned by the People of Two Continents.” 16 Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some of the most unforgettable characters in English literature. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist and A Tale of Two Cities. 17 Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and television adaptations of Dickens’ works.
Natalie McKnight is a professor of humanities who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. 18 Some of his works were written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think, as Dickens’ novels do. Many other novelists in the 19th century wrote entertaining works. 19 Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. 20 His works led to many important social changes.

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。
“Do you forget to bring your homework to school ” my sixth grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But before I left home and headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag.
“You will get a zero then,” my math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term If so, what should I do
My next class was a PE class. As I walked down the hall with my classmates, all those feelings rushed out in hot tears. I wiped them away as quickly as I could. But when we entered the gym and sat down in our spots on the floor, it was clear to everyone around me that I had been crying.
My PE teacher, Ms. Brown, was an athletic teacher, often with a smile on her face. Her class was a good mix of calisthenics(健美操)and games that can give us all a good workout. And Ms. Brown was nice and compassionate(有同情心的). She loved her students and often came to help if the students were in trouble.
During that PE class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to Ms.Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms.Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the PE class, she walked to me.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me.
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math.

4.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二、三句可知,他被称为最成功的歌曲作者的原因是他的歌是专门为那些不幸的孩子们写的,故选C。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“The songs never fail to make the children smile or to raise their spirits.”可知,这些歌曲总是能让孩子们微笑并改善他们的情绪。结合第三段前两句可知,贝尔策认为音乐是有帮助的,当小孩子听到专门为其写的歌时,应该是受到鼓舞的,所以C项最恰当。
6.D 推理判断题。由第二段可知贝尔策的“爱之歌”是一个非营利的慈善组织,再结合最后一段可知,“爱之歌”几乎总是需要钱,为了在这方面有所帮助,贝尔策搬回家和退休的父母住在一起,并通过卖CD和磁带来筹钱,由此推知,组织慈善活动使他的经济非常紧张。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段可知,他经营着为不幸的孩子写歌的非营利组织,所以他很有同情心。根据最后一段第三句可知,他的长期目标是为所有年龄段的病人写歌,所以他不仅关心重病儿童,还关心其他年龄段的病人,是个富有同情心且考虑周到的人。

10.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you.”可知,科幻小说的读者实际上愿意假装作者的规则是真实的。
11.B 主旨大意题。文章第一句“Science fiction writers create an imaginary world.”点明了科幻小说作者的创作核心,后面都是围绕“科幻小说作者应如何创作”来写的,故选B。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国的一家太空采矿公司设计的一款机器人,这款机器人可以捕获航天器在外太空留下的废弃材料。

14.C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知,全球已经发射了数千颗卫星,随着它们的寿命超出使用期限,许多卫星最终会成为太空垃圾,故选C。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段可知,本文主要介绍了中国的一家太空采矿公司设计了一款机器人,它可以通过一张大网捕获航天器在外太空留下的废弃材料,B项“一款可以捕获太空垃圾的中国机器人”符合文意,故选B。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了狄更斯的作品经久不衰的原因。
16.C 根据下文中的“Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world.”可知,即使在今天,这位英国小说家仍然受到全世界读者的喜爱,可见狄更斯闻名于世。C项中的“not overstating the fame of Dickens”与下文中的“is loved by readers all over the world”相呼应,此外,C项中的“The headline”与前一句中的“a headline”对应,故选C。
17.D 根据第一段最后一句“Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and television adaptations of Dickens’ works.”可知,狄更斯的作品非常受欢迎。D项“A Tale of Two Cities has been sold more than 200 million copies.”符合语境。D项中的“more than 200 million copies”与下文中的“more than 300 film and television adaptations”相呼应。
18.E 根据上文中的“One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart.”及下文中的“People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think, as Dickens’ novels do.”可知,狄更斯发自内心地进行写作,他努力在读者中产生情感影响,人们总是喜欢像狄更斯的小说那样让他们哭、让他们笑、引起他们的思考的作品。E项中的“emotional”与下文中的“laugh” “cry” “think”相呼应。故选E。
19.G 根据上文中的“People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think, as Dickens’ novels do. Many other novelists in the 19th century wrote entertaining works.”可知,作者在这里提到了其他小说家,并把其他小说家的作品与狄更斯的作品做对比,因此G项符合语境,G选项中的“them”与上文中的“Many other novelists in the 19th century”相呼应。

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you. I feel proud to know that you are interested in Chinese history.
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty. He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi(Maps and Records of the World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China. That opened our eyes to the world. In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more I can find you some books.Just let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me. “Are you OK ” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown said to me, “We all make mistakes.” She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world wouldn’t end for a zero in a math class and encouraged me to study hard.
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher’s speeches. After school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress.

In many respects one could call John Beltzer the world’s most successful songwriter. Every song that he writes is guaranteed to be a real hit not on the popularity charts, but in a child’s heart. The reason for this is that every song that Beltzer writes is for a seriously sick child. The songs never fail to make the children smile or to raise their spirits. They also play them over and over. This means more by far to Beltzer than being ranked high on the popularity charts.
Beltzer is the founder and president of Songs of Love, a nonprofit group. This group combines the voluntary efforts of musicians, songwriters, singers, and studio technicians to create unique, happy songs that reflect a child’s personality.
Beltzer believes that music is very helpful. When an adult listens to a favorite song, it makes him feel good. Thus when a little child listens to a song written just for him, the result is very uplifting. Since its founding in 1996, Songs of Love has been responsible for the composition, taping and sending more than 780 songs to children in life threatening conditions, all for free.
Unmarried and with no children of his own, Beltzer had never thought much about writing songs for children. He says that one day while he was walking down the street, the idea came to him and he instantly felt that he could make a success of it. He went home and called St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. He told them he wanted to write songs for seriously sick children, and wrote six songs in four days. Upon receiving the songs, the hospital called him with high praise. Soon after that the mother of a little girl with cancer called him to thank him and then the little girl herself did so. At that point he knew that this was his “calling”.
As is true with most charitable ventures, Songs of Love is almost always in need of money. To help in this respect, Beltzer has moved back home to live with his retired parents, who also help support his work. His long term goal is to offer songs to patients of all ages, including nursing home residents and the mentally ill. Among other efforts to raise money, Beltzer sells CDs and tapes, expecting much bigger sales. Meanwhile, Beltzer himself continues to be the most productive songwriter in Songs of Love, making sure that all requests for songs written for critically sick children will be met.
4.Why is John Beltzer, to some extent, called the world’s most successful songwriter
A.Because every song he composes tends to be a hit.
B.Because all songs are played over and over again.
C.Because his songs are intended specially for those unlucky children.
D.Because he as well as his songs always enjoys grand popularity.
5.Which word can replace the underlined word “uplifting”in Paragraph 3
A.Satisfactory. B.Adequate.
C.Inspirational. D.Appropriate.
6.What can we infer from the whole passage
A.Beltzer had had the idea of writing songs for seriously sick children long before actually doing so.
B.The hospital in Tennessee didn’t respond to Beltzer’s request immediately and positively.
C.Songwriting is the only source of income for Songs of Love.
D.Running charitable activities makes Beltzer’s finances really tight.
7.Which of the following words can best describe John Beltzer
A.Social and intelligent.
B.Compassionate and considerate.
C.Conventional and patient.
D.Confident and ambitious.
C
Science fiction writers create an imaginary world. The way things work in your imaginary world will be based on actual science. So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary world. And you have to follow them. If humans have evolved to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. If your robots write poetry but not fiction, then you can’t throw a novelist robot into Chapter 8. The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, your readers’ reaction might be, “What the hell!” The imaginative spell is broken. You’ve pulled the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its world for yourself in great detail. Decide: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in the new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let your readers know enough to understand what’s going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.
When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they’re actually there.
8.What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction
A.Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.
B.Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.
C.Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.
D.Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.
9.How is the second paragraph mainly developed
A.By making comparisons.
B.By analysing causes.
C.By following the time order.
D.By giving examples.
10.What can we know from the passage
A.Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers’ rules are true.
B.It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.
C.It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.
D.It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.
11.What is the passage mainly about
A.How to do scientific research.
B.How to write science fiction.
C.What to expect from science fiction.
D.How to raise interest in science.

A Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can catch waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.
The state run Xinhua News Agency reported that the robot launched on the government’s Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30 kilogram robot, called NEO 01,was developed by Origin Space. Founded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub Shenzhen, Origin Space has been dedicated to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way in future technology capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).
The world’s first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, Inc was established in 2010. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan’s Astroscale. Astroscale’s technology uses magnets(磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO 01 will use a net to catch waste and then burn it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used for too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.
Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO 01 will serve as a prototype(雏形) of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.
The Xinhua News Agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near Earth asteroid to collect material. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.
12.What can we know about NEO 01
A.It weighs 60 kilograms.
B.It was created by Planetary Resources, Inc.
C.It will be burnt after accomplishing its mission.
D.It is mainly used to catch space waste.
13.Why does China try to land a spacecraft on a near Earth asteroid
A.To collect material.
B.To build a defense system.
C.To catch up with Russia and America.
D.To support the development of the space industry.
14.What can be learned from the text
A.China will be the most powerful country in space by 2030.
B.Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.
C.It is those useless satellites that make space waste.
D.The robot will look into deep space for more waste.
15.What can be the best title for the text
A.NEO 01, a Smart Robot Used in Space
B.A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space Waste
C.A New Robot Makes China a Space Power
D.NEO 01, the Pioneer of Future Space Robots

You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist and A Tale of Two Cities. 17 Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and television adaptations of Dickens’ works.

People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think, as Dickens’ novels do. Many other novelists in the 19th century wrote entertaining works. 19 Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. 20 His works led to many important social changes.

“Do you forget to bring your homework to school ” my sixth grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But before I left home and headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag.
“You will get a zero then,” my math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term If so, what should I do
My next class was a PE class. As I walked down the hall with my classmates, all those feelings rushed out in hot tears. I wiped them away as quickly as I could. But when we entered the gym and sat down in our spots on the floor, it was clear to everyone around me that I had been crying.
My PE teacher, Ms. Brown, was an athletic teacher, often with a smile on her face. Her class was a good mix of calisthenics(健美操)and games that can give us all a good workout. And Ms. Brown was nice and compassionate(有同情心的). She loved her students and often came to help if the students were in trouble.
During that PE class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to Ms.Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms.Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the PE class, she walked to me.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me.
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math.

4.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二、三句可知,他被称为最成功的歌曲作者的原因是他的歌是专门为那些不幸的孩子们写的,故选C。
5.C 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“The songs never fail to make the children smile or to raise their spirits.”可知,这些歌曲总是能让孩子们微笑并改善他们的情绪。结合第三段前两句可知,贝尔策认为音乐是有帮助的,当小孩子听到专门为其写的歌时,应该是受到鼓舞的,所以C项最恰当。
6.D 推理判断题。由第二段可知贝尔策的“爱之歌”是一个非营利的慈善组织,再结合最后一段可知,“爱之歌”几乎总是需要钱,为了在这方面有所帮助,贝尔策搬回家和退休的父母住在一起,并通过卖CD和磁带来筹钱,由此推知,组织慈善活动使他的经济非常紧张。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段可知,他经营着为不幸的孩子写歌的非营利组织,所以他很有同情心。根据最后一段第三句可知,他的长期目标是为所有年龄段的病人写歌,所以他不仅关心重病儿童,还关心其他年龄段的病人,是个富有同情心且考虑周到的人。
C

8.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The way things work in your imaginary world will be based on actual science.”可知,科幻小说要基于实际科学,也就是说实际科学为科幻小说提供基本原理。
9.D 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,作者在叙述时使用“If...”句型指出如果在第一章里人能在水下呼吸,第三章就不能说角色被淹死在游泳池中等可知,作者是通过举例子来写这段的。
10.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you.”可知,科幻小说的读者实际上愿意假装作者的规则是真实的。
11.B 主旨大意题。文章第一句“Science fiction writers create an imaginary world.”点明了科幻小说作者的创作核心,后面都是围绕“科幻小说作者应如何创作”来写的,故选B。
D

14.C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知,全球已经发射了数千颗卫星,随着它们的寿命超出使用期限,许多卫星最终会成为太空垃圾,故选C。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段可知,本文主要介绍了中国的一家太空采矿公司设计了一款机器人,它可以通过一张大网捕获航天器在外太空留下的废弃材料,B项“一款可以捕获太空垃圾的中国机器人”符合文意,故选B。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了狄更斯的作品经久不衰的原因。
16.C 根据下文中的“Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world.”可知,即使在今天,这位英国小说家仍然受到全世界读者的喜爱,可见狄更斯闻名于世。C项中的“not overstating the fame of Dickens”与下文中的“is loved by readers all over the world”相呼应,此外,C项中的“The headline”与前一句中的“a headline”对应,故选C。
17.D 根据第一段最后一句“Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and television adaptations of Dickens’ works.”可知,狄更斯的作品非常受欢迎。D项“A Tale of Two Cities has been sold more than 200 million copies.”符合语境。D项中的“more than 200 million copies”与下文中的“more than 300 film and television adaptations”相呼应。
18.E 根据上文中的“One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart.”及下文中的“People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think, as Dickens’ novels do.”可知,狄更斯发自内心地进行写作,他努力在读者中产生情感影响,人们总是喜欢像狄更斯的小说那样让他们哭、让他们笑、引起他们的思考的作品。E项中的“emotional”与下文中的“laugh” “cry” “think”相呼应。故选E。
19.G 根据上文中的“People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think, as Dickens’ novels do. Many other novelists in the 19th century wrote entertaining works.”可知,作者在这里提到了其他小说家,并把其他小说家的作品与狄更斯的作品做对比,因此G项符合语境,G选项中的“them”与上文中的“Many other novelists in the 19th century”相呼应。
20.F 根据下文中的“His works led to many important social changes.”可推知,狄更斯的很多作品描述的是社会的不平等,才引起读者的共鸣,导致了社会的变革。F项符合语境,且该选项中的“fight social inequality”与下一句中的“social changes”相呼应。

23.C 根据后文“so that she could climb on my motorbike”可知,此处表示作者停下了他的摩托车(motorbike)。

第三部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you. I feel proud to know that you are interested in Chinese history.
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty. He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi(Maps and Records of the World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China. That opened our eyes to the world. In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more I can find you some books.Just let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me. “Are you OK ” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown said to me, “We all make mistakes.” She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world wouldn’t end for a zero in a math class and encouraged me to study hard.
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher’s speeches. After school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress.
