At the age of 34, he became the youngest Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk. In July, 2008, Tang joined the Aviation University of Air Force.

It might sound like magic, but in February, a paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient was able to drink water on his own by controlling a special glove with his brain. The glove then acted as his hand. This was a success in brain-machine interface technology made by a team of Chinese scientists and doctors.
BMI refers to creating a connection between the human brain and external devices (外部设备), making communication between the brain and computers. For paralyzed people, BMI can allow them to move and do simple things by themselves.
On Oct 24, 2023, the team put a BMI chip in the patient’s head. The chip can receive neural signals (神经信号) from the brain.
After three months of home recovery (康复) training, the patient can now use his brain signals to control a special glove powered by air pressure. This helps him do things like drinking water independently.
BMI technology usually means putting chips directly onto the patient’s brain. However, this project is minimally invasive (微创的), making sure the patient’s brain is not harmed. So it is an important breakthrough. It also uses a wireless power supply, so the implanted (植入的) device doesn’t need a battery.
Li Yuanning from ShanghaiTech University told CCTV News that BMI is now mainly used in the medical field to improve the lives of people with brain-related problems or speech difficulties.
In China, BMI technology is still in the early stages of research, with no products on the market yet. Some people are worried that tests may influence patients independence and even who they are. Ethical concerns (伦理问题) related to BMI also need to be addressed. These include whether the patient has a clear understanding of what is going on when they agree to take part in the test.
28. What is China’s recent success in BMI
A. A BMI chip was successfully put into a patient’s brain.
B. BMI helped a paralyzed patient drink water on his own.
C. A paralyzed patient can move freely with a BMI chip.
D. A paralyzed patient can communicate with computers.
29. What is the advantage of the new BMI technology
A. It doesn’t harm patients’ brains. B. It doesn’t need any power.
C. It understands patients’ needs correctly. D. It helps people improve their speech skills
30. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Many people are against BMI technology.
B. The tests of BMI are at high risk of failure.
C. BMI technology is widely used in the medical field.
D. BMI technology is still under development.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍BMI技术应用于帮助瘫痪患者自己喝水，文章也介绍该技术的优势以及该技术仍在开发阶段。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It might sound like magic, but in February, a paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient was able to drink water on his own by controlling a special glove with his brain.”以及“This was a success in brain-machine interface technology made by a team of Chinese scientists and doctors.”可知，中国最近在BMI方面取得的成功是BMI技术应用于帮助瘫痪患者自己喝水。故选B。
29. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“However, this project is minimally invasive (微创的), making sure the patient’s brain is not harmed.”可知，BMI新技术的优点是它不会伤害病人的大脑。故选A。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In China, BMI technology is still in the early stages of research, with no products on the market yet.”可知，BMI技术仍在开发阶段。故选D。

【解析】句意：这个红色盒子是五个中最重的。在5个中最重的故用最高级。
44．You should consider (control) your temper when you speak to the elderly.
【答案】controlling
【解析】句意：当你和老人说话时，你应该考虑控制自己的脾气。根据固定搭配“考虑做某事：consider doing sth.”可知，controlling符合句意。故填controlling。
45. No one was willing to help the old man and he felt (help).
【答案】helpless
【解析】句意：没有人愿意帮助这个老人，他感到无助。Feel 感觉到后面要用形容词。根据句意要填help的反义形容词，故根据构词法后加后缀less。答案是helpless
五、动词填空用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）
46．He _________ (get) up at 6:30 every morning.
【答案】gets
【解析】 句意：他每天早上6：30起床。根据时间状语every morning可以判断是一般现在时态，主语为第三人称单数形式，所以动词原形用三单现形式。
47. —Did you see Linda come back last night
—No, she (study) for an exam all the night in the school library.
【答案】was studying
【解析】句意：——你昨晚看到琳达回来了吗？——没有，她整晚都在学校图书馆里准备考试。根据“…for an exam all the night in the school library.”词可知，她整晚都在学校图书馆里准备考试，表达持续性行为，所以用进行时态，又结合问句中“last night”可知，时态为过去进行时，又由主语是she，此处过去进行时的结构为：was+现在分词，study的现在分词是studying。故填was studying。
48. Jenny promised that she (have) a further talk with me as soon as she finished reading the book The Adventure of Tom Sawyer.
【答案】would have
【解析】句意：珍妮承诺她一读完《汤姆历险记》就将和我深入讨论。根据promised可知，句子是一般过去时态。that引导的宾语从句表达“将要讨论”，故动词用过去将来时would have。故填would have。
49．Before you give up, (consider) what your family will think about it.
【答案】consider
【解析】句意：在你放弃之前，考虑一下你的家人会怎么想。此处是祈使句，用动词原形。故填consider。
50．You can hardly imagine how much difficulty we had (solve) the problem.
【答案】solving
【解析】句意：你真的很难想象我们解决这个问题有多困难。此处表达的是“做某事有困难”，英语是“have difficulty (in) doing”，所以空格应用动名词。故填solving。
51．What should the government pay attention to (protect) the environment.
【答案】to protect
【解析】句意：政府应该注意些什么来保护环境？根据“What should the government pay attention to”可知句子中不缺少主语和宾语等重要成分，因此此处应用动词不定式表目的，表示为了保护环境，政府应注意些什么。故填to protect。
52. In Disneyland, visitors (allow) to get close to cartoon characters.
【答案】are allowed
【解析】句意：在迪士尼乐园，游客被允许接近卡通人物。根据语境可知，此处是一般现在时，主语visitors与谓语allow之间是被动关系，故此处是一般现在时的被动语态（be done），主语visitors为复数，be动词用are。故填are allowed。
53. Since the beginning of 2024, the price of gold worldwide (rise) a lot.
【答案】has risen
【解析】句意：自2024年初，全世界的黄金价格已经上涨了很多。根据“Since the beginning of 2024...”可知，时
态应用现在完成时（have/has done），主语“price”是第三人称单数，助动词使用has，rise使用过去分词形式risen。故填has risen。
六、阅读填空 （本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）
先通读下面的短文.然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。所填单词必须写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。每个空格只能填一个单词.
Reading is fun! Besides for fun, we can also analyze (分析) texts to learn more from the texts and more about the texts. One way we can do this is by finding out the theme of the texts.
The theme of a text is the “big idea” that runs through the text, connecting the characters and events. It is what the writer wants to tell us through the story. Themes can be ideas like family, friendship, love and so on. But it may not be able to be included in just one word, it might be an idea such as “Friendship is important.” Usually the theme of a text isn’t told directly, make sure you know what the writer is saying. How can we find out the theme of a text The following steps may help you.
Read through the whole text. Usually characters change as the story goes on, so the theme you get at the beginning might not be true at the end! For this reason, you need to read through the whole text first. There may also be more than one theme in a story.
Find out the clue. After reading the whole text, try to answer the following questions. What important events happened during the story What was the problem How did the problem get solved How did the character(s) change What did the character(s) learn The answers may help you to get the clues.
Get the big idea. Read again for the writer’s purpose of the text and find out the answers to the following questions. Was most of the plot (情节) around friendship Did the characters solve problems with their families Did the main character learn the importance of friendship If one of the answers is “yes”, you may get the big idea.
Check the big idea out. If you’ve found a “big idea”, go through the text to find the evidence that supports this idea in the text. You needn’t repeat every detail of the story — a few key examples will be fine.
Have you got the way to find out the theme of a text Get your favorite book quickly and see if you can find the theme out!

【答案】54. What 55. connecting 56. direct 57. end 58. answering
【解析】本文主要讲述什么是文章的主题、如何寻找文章的主题。
54. 根据“The theme of a text is the “big idea” that runs through the text, connecting the characters and events. It is what the writer wants to tell us through the story.”可知这一部分讲什么事一个主题，用what提问，句子开头首字母大写。故填What。
55. 根据“The theme of a text is the “big idea” that runs through the text, connecting the characters and events.”可知主题是连接角色和事件的“大观点”。故填connecting。
56. 根据“Usually the theme of a text isn’t told directly, make sure you know what the writer is saying.”可知主题可能不只是一个词，有些并没有以直接的方式呈现，此处用形容词direct作定语。故填direct。
57. 根据“Read through the whole text. Usually characters change as the story goes on, so the theme you get at the beginning might not be true at the end!”可知通读全文，直到最后，充分理解主题。故填end。

七、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。
（本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分）
59. 尽管那对双胞胎是新生，但是他们和同学们相处得很好。
Although the twins are new students, they their classmates.
【答案】get along with/get on with/get along well with/get on well with
【解析】根据中英文对照可知，空处表示“相处得很好”，其对应的英文表达是get on/along (well) with。此处是一般现在时，主语they是复数，谓语动词用原形。故填get on/along (well) with。
60. 由于事情太多，他已经习惯了熬夜到很晚。
He because of too much work.
【答案】has been used to staying up late
【解析】be used to doing sth“习惯做某事”，stay up late“熬夜到很晚”，根据“已经”可知句子应用现在时完成时表示对现在有影响，主语为He，助动词应用has。故填has been used to staying up late。
61. 他宁可被嘲笑也不愿说一句话。
He than say a word.
【答案】would rather be laughed at
【解析】根据中英文对照可知，英文句子缺少“宁可被嘲笑”，“宁可做某事”的英文表达是would rather do sth.，“被嘲笑”的英文表达是be laughed at。故填would rather be laughed at。
62. 由于感染病毒，那位音乐家别无选择只能取消了这场音乐会。
The musician the concert because of catching a virus.
【答案】had no choice but to cancel
【解析】根据题干，短语have no choice but to do sth表示“除了做某事之外别无选择”，句子时态为一般过去时；谓语动词需用过去式，取消：cancel。故填had no choice but to cancel。
63. 你能猜猜我叔叔借了这个机器人多久了吗？
Can you guess
【答案】how long my uncle has kept the robot
【解析】根据中英文对照可知，英文句子缺少“我叔叔借了这个机器人多久了”，此处使用宾语从句作guess的宾语，根据语境可知，从句时态是现在完成时，结构是：have/has+动词过去分词，从句主语是my uncle“我叔叔”，表示单数，所以助动词用has，从句引导词是how long“多久”，从句谓语动词要用延续性动词，动词keep“保留”符合语境，keep要变成过去分词kept，从句宾语是the robot“这个机器人”，宾语从句要采用陈述语序，所以助动词has要放在主语my uncle之后。故填how long my uncle has kept the robot。
65. 如果你要想学好英语，发音非常值得关注。
If you want to learn English well, pronunciation .
【答案】is well worth paying attention to
【解析】通过中英文句子的对照，可知空处表示“非常值得关注”。“非常值得做某事”be well worth doing sth.，主语是pronunciation，所以be动词用is；“关注”英文表达为pay attention to。故填is well worth paying attention to。

【答案】例文： ①
It makes me grow up
Our junior high school life is full of sweetness and bitterness. I didn’t realize that teamwork is much more important than personal performance until I lost the soccer match.
Last week, our team lost the game in the “City Mayor Cup”. I still remember clearly when I had the ball on the field, coming up to the goal. I was in a better position to pass the ball instead of shooting. One of my teammates was in the best position to shoot and score. But I really wanted to score the goal myself and win the match. I wanted to be the hero. I shot but failed. I was so upset and it felt like a big black cloud was hanging over my head.
After the match, I apologized to my teammates and my coach. They didn’t blame me. But my coach’s words stayed with me. He said, “The game is not all about winning or losing.” The experience made me grow up and taught me the importance of teamwork.
例文： ②
It makes me happy
Our junior high school life is full of sweetness and bitterness. When I started middle school, I had no idea how to talk to my classmates. I often felt lonely.
But an unexpected small thing happened and ended my boring school life. One of my classmates invited me to her birthday party. I was so surprised because we were not familiar with each other at all. But I accepted the invitation. On her birthday, I gave her flowers and a birthday card as presents. We watched a movie together and talked about it. Sharing the same views with her made me feel excited. I regretted that we could not be friends earlier. It ended just as you’d expect-we became best friends. I don’t feel bored at school anymore.
I always remember that day and I realize what best friends mean to my life.

Long long ago, people didn’t know how to plant crops, or how to make cloth, or how to make tools. Life was difficult. The god Nyame up in the sky had all the wisdom of the world. He kept it 15 in a pot.
One day, Nyame decided that he would give the pot of wisdom to Anansi. Every time Anansi looked in the pot, he learned something 16 . It was so exciting!
Greedy Anansi thought, “I’ll keep the pot safe at the 17 of a tall tree. Then I can have it all to myself!” He tied the pot to his 18 closely and began to climb the tree. But it was hard to climb the tree with the pot hitting him in the knees.
All the time Anansi’s young son had been 19 under the tree. Then he said, “Wouldn’t it be easier to climb if you tied the pot to your back instead ” Although Anansi had 20 at first, he followed his son’s idea later and it really was a lot easier.
In no time he was high up in the tree. He said to himself with satisfaction, “That’s it! No one can 21 this place!” But then he stopped and thought, “I’m supposed to be the one with all the wisdom, but here my son was 22 than me! How could it be!” With all his strength, Anansi threw the pot down out of the tree 23 .
It broke into pieces on the ground. The wisdom was free for everyone. Then people learned to farm, to make clothes, to make tools, and all the other things.

In 2023, a group of young people did great in literature (文学), sports, astronomy (天文学) and more. They became role models for young Chinese. Here, let’s share three of their stories.
Showing Excellence on the International Stage Cui Chenxi became China’s youngest-ever Asian Games gold medalist (金牌获得者) after the 15-year-old skateboarder won the women’s street event at the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 on Sept. 27. Cui only took up skateboarding in 2020. Within a year, she took part in professional-level events. Earlier in 2023, Cui got the 30th spot in the women’s street event at the World
Street Skateboarding Championships.
Winning an International Sci-fi (科幻的) Award Chinese writer Hai Ya was born in 1990. His sci-fi novel The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) on Oct. 21. He is the third Chinese writer to win this big award. When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya drew his idea from a famous painting-A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). Hai Ya’s works mix history and science fiction. They find a perfect balance in his novels.
Flying to Space On Dec. 21, Shenzhou XI crew members made their first spacewalk outside the Tiangong space station. Tang Shengjie was one of them. He wanted to be an astronaut from a young age. At the age of 34, he became the youngest Chinese astronaut to go on a spacewalk. In July, 2008, Tang joined the Aviation University of Air Force. That was his first step towards becoming a “blue sky warrior (蓝天勇士)”.
25. Which latest event took place in 2023 according to the passage
A. Flying to Space.
B. Winning an International Sci-fi Award.
C. Winning the Women’s Street Event at the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022.

It might sound like magic, but in February, a paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient was able to drink water on his own by controlling a special glove with his brain. The glove then acted as his hand. This was a success in brain-machine interface
technology made by a team of Chinese scientists and doctors.
BMI refers to creating a connection between the human brain and external devices (外部设备), making communication between the brain and computers. For paralyzed people, BMI can allow them to move and do simple things by themselves.
On Oct 24, 2023, the team put a BMI chip in the patient’s head. The chip can receive neural signals (神经信号) from the brain.
After three months of home recovery (康复) training, the patient can now use his brain signals to control a special glove powered by air pressure. This helps him do things like drinking water independently.
BMI technology usually means putting chips directly onto the patient’s brain. However, this project is minimally invasive (微创的), making sure the patient’s brain is not harmed. So it is an important breakthrough. It also uses a wireless power supply, so the implanted (植入的) device doesn’t need a battery.
Li Yuanning from ShanghaiTech University told CCTV News that BMI is now mainly used in the medical field to improve the lives of people with brain-related problems or speech difficulties.
In China, BMI technology is still in the early stages of research, with no products on the market yet. Some people are worried that tests may influence patients independence and even who they are. Ethical concerns (伦理问题) related to BMI also need to be addressed. These include whether the patient has a clear understanding of what is going on when they agree to take part in the test.
28. What is China’s recent success in BMI
A. A BMI chip was successfully put into a patient’s brain.
B. BMI helped a paralyzed patient drink water on his own.
C. A paralyzed patient can move freely with a BMI chip.
D. A paralyzed patient can communicate with computers.
29. What is the advantage of the new BMI technology
A. It doesn’t harm patients’ brains. B. It doesn’t need any power.
C. It understands patients’ needs correctly. D. It helps people improve their speech skills
30. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Many people are against BMI technology.
B. The tests of BMI are at high risk of failure.
C. BMI technology is widely used in the medical field.
D. BMI technology is still under development.

He was an old man who fished alone in a boat and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish, the boy’s parents had told him that the old man was now exactly and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week.
It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty and be always went down to help him carry fishing tools.
The old man was thin with deep wrinkles (皱纹) in the back of his neck. His hands had the deep scars (疤) from dealing with heavy fish. But none of these scars were fresh.
Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same colour as the sea and were cheerful and full of confidence.

With devices (设备) that can be automatically (自动地) controlled from anywhere, a smart home offers convenience to its owners. These devices can be connected with each other through the internet, allowing the user to control functions, such as security access (安全访问), lighting and temperature.
