Zong Qinghou, a soft drinks giant from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, died of an illness at the age of 79. There has been much mourning at his passing on Feb. 25, 2024 as he was well-known as the founder of a company, headquartered in his hometown in the late 1980s, which later developed into the Wahaha Group, a major soft drinks company.
He is known to the public for three things — his rags-to-riches rise, his long-term frugal (节俭的) lifestyle, and his devotion to promoting China’s national industries. Forbes ranked him, with a wealth of about $5.9 billion, No.53 among Chinese billionaires last year.
Yet besides, it is also worthwhile to think over the question about whether his success in business can be imitated today and what lessons policymakers can learn from his self-made business success as they try to enrich the soil for setting up business.
Before winning a contract (合同) to work as a salesperson of a small school-run factory selling writing materials, iced treats and soft drinks in Hangzhou in 1987, Zong worked as a traveling salesman for nearly a decade after working for 15 years on various posts in local farming communities with Grade-9 education.
His sharp business sense, which he owed to poverty instead of the genes (基因) of the Zhejiang business community, enabled him to recognize business opportunities at a time when the country had just carried out the change from a planned economy to a socialist market one.
The broad space he enjoyed as a sales representative of the factory enabled him to continuously sharpen his sales strategies and enlarge his network of business partners. That not only helped him gather the start-up funds he later used to contract the whole factory but also influenced his later management style, which he summed up as always trying to make things simpler.
As he told the media, it is the spirit of adventure of his generation and their down-to-earth work style that deserve attention, not his lifestyle, which was a personal choice.
4. Which aspect of Zong Qinghou does Paragraph 2 focus on
A. His habits. B. His interest.
C. His lifestyle. D. His achievements.
5. Why is Zong Qinghou’s early experience mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To tell how he won contracts. B. To tell how different his life was.
C. To show the ways to run a business. D. To show its influence on his business.
6. What made Zong Qinghou find the chance to start his business
A. His sharp sense in business. B. His broad space and freedom.
C. His long-term simple lifestyle. D. His business community’s genes.
7. Which of the following best describes Zong Qinghou
A. Modest. B. Determined. C. Knowledgeable. D. Humorous.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

C
Two and a half months before the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins, and almost six months before it enters its peak (高峰), weathermen are already predicting (预测) that it could be particularly active.
Officially, hurricane season begins from June 1 and runs through November. One reason is that sea surface temperatures in the tropical (热带的) Atlantic are already at record highs.
Meanwhile, another significant potential factor in this year’s hurricane season is taking shape thousands of miles away in the Pacific. Over periods ranging from three to seven years, the waters of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean warm and cool in turn as a result of a repeating climate pattern called the El Ni o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes less likely to form but La Ni a does.
During the 2023 season, ENSO was in an El Ni o period. However, by the time the 2024 season starts, it will have changed into a “neutral(中立)” period, but that by the peak months, it is likely to have changed fully into a La Ni a.
“How quickly that change occurs can affect everything as well,” says DaSilva, a lead hurricane weatherman. “There’s a lag time. So, while we expect the change to occur in mid-summer, it may not be until late summer or fall where we really see those effects across the Atlantic basin.” As a result, he says, this year’s hurricane season could remain particularly active deep into November.
Of course, no report can predict when individual storms will come or the paths they will take, but DaSilva warns that those who live in areas likely to suffer hurricanes, especially around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, should prepare. “If a tropical storm system comes into this area, it could rapidly strengthen, potentially close to land,” he also warns. “And that’s why people need to be careful and have their hurricane plans ready. Because any system with these kinds of conditions can explode very quickly. That’s what we’re concerned about.”
8. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To give advice. B. To explain the season.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To inform a weather report.
9. What is a reason for this year’s hurricane season
A. The hurricane season has entered its peak.
B. A repeating climate has changed weather in summer.
C. The sea surface temperatures are the highest of all time.
D. El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes more likely to form.
10. What do the underlined words “a lag time” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. A time delay. B. A time in a zone.
C. A time waste. D. A time in advance.
11. What does DaSilva agree with about this year’s hurricane season
A. It can be exactly predicted ahead of time.
B. People needn’t worry about hurricane season.
C. It may be eventually controlled by weathermen.
D. People can’t be more careful about hurricane season.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气象专家预测2024年大西洋飓风季将异常活跃，受创纪录海温及拉尼娜现象影响，高峰期可能延长至11月，提醒居民提前准备。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文及文章第一段“Two and a half months before the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins, and almost six months before it enters its peak (高峰), weathermen are already predicting that it could be particularly active. (虽然距离2024年大西洋飓风季节正式开始还有两个半月，离高峰期更是有近六个月的时间，气象专家们已预测这可能是一个特别活跃的飓风季。)”可知，第一段的功能是引出文章的话题。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Officially, hurricane season begins from June 1 and runs through November. One reason is that sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic are already at record highs. (官方上，飓风季节从6月1日开始，持续至11月。原因之一是热带大西洋的海表温度已达到创纪录的高水平。)”可知，海面温度是有史以来最高是是今年飓风季节的原因之一。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第五段划线后“So, while we expect the change to occur in mid-summer, it may not be until late summer or fall where we really see those effects across the Atlantic basin. (因此，尽管我们预计变化将在仲夏时节发生，但直到晚夏或秋季，大西洋盆地才可能真正感受到这些影响。)”可推知，存在一个滞后时间，故划线词与A项“时间延迟”意义相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““If a tropical storm system comes into this area, it could rapidly strengthen, potentially close to land,” he also warns. “And that’s why people need to be careful and have their hurricane plans ready. Because any system with these kinds of conditions can explode very quickly. That’s what we’re concerned about.” (“如果一个热带风暴系统进入这个区域，它可能会在接近陆地时迅速加强，”他还警告说，“这就是为什么人们需要小心并准备好飓风应对计划。因为在这些条件下，任何系统都可能迅速增强。这是我们所担心的”)”可知，人们对于飓风季节的警惕性再怎么高也不为过。故选D项。

Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment — without the need for any type of wearable.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations (颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the tech to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions as well as respiratory system conditions.
“We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s respiratory and cardiovascular systems and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security — no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only,” said Ali Ghara, the lead Ph. D. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology’s capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants’ overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
12. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It provides more precise health data than wearables.
B. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
C. It sends the health report to the driver’s phone for review.
D. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver’s health.
13. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara’s words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data. B. AI’s interpretation of medical data is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security. D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
14. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C. Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Ph. D. Students Build USS Enterprise on Wheels B. Drivers Beware: Radar Spying on Your Heartbeats
C. Healthy Driving: Radar Monitors Health in Vehicles D. Radars May Know Your Conditions Before You Do
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C

Gaining real-world work experience through volunteering is a great way for students to build skills, increase employability and enjoy a range of other benefits.
Become a leader
Regular volunteers, regardless of their age, are often trusted with important roles, giving students a chance to develop their confidence and communication skills, while being treated like a valued member of a team. ____16____ However, a trusting and supportive manager will encourage students to speak up when they think something could be improved.
Students volunteering stand out from the crowd
Students volunteering gain valuable experience that they can add to their CV (简历). Employers will look very favorably on students’ volunteer work experience. Volunteering gives students the opportunity to put what they learn in the classroom into practice. ____17____ They’ll be one step ahead when it comes to entering the workplace, already equipped with some of the key skills needed for the role.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学生通过志愿服务获得实际工作经验的好处，包括提升领导力、增强就业竞争力、促进身心健康、团队合作能力以及帮助探索职业道路。
【16题详解】
上文“Regular volunteers, regardless of their age, are often trusted with important roles, giving students a chance to develop their confidence and communication skills, while being treated like a valued member of a team.(普通志愿者，无论年龄大小，通常都被信任扮演重要角色，让学生有机会发展自信和沟通技能，同时被视为团队中的重要成员)”说明普通志愿者能被赋予重要角色，帮助学生建立自信和沟通技巧。空处承上启下，和前文形成对比关系，说明虽然有机会担任重要角色，但志愿者在主动性的培养上可能面临的挑战。同时引出下文中一个信任和支持的管理者会鼓励学生改变这一状况。所以B项“主动出击是一项很难培养的技能”符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文“Employers will look very favorably on students’ volunteer work experience. Volunteering gives students the opportunity to put what they learn in the classroom into practice. (雇主会非常重视学生的志愿工作经验。志愿服务使学生有机会将他们在课堂上学到的东西付诸实践)”说明志愿服务给学生提供了将课堂所学应用于实践的机会。空处承接前文，C项中的This指代前文中“志愿服务给学生提供了将课堂所学应用于实践的机会”这件事，“in highly practical fields”和前文中的“put what they learn in the classroom into practice”相呼应，说明这样做对于高度实践性的领域尤其有用。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“Perhaps the biggest benefit that students can gain from volunteering is the positive boost to mental and physical health. A recent study found that 77% of volunteers benefited from improved mental health after volunteering.(也许学生从志愿服务中获得的最大好处是对身心健康的积极促进。最近的一项研究发现，77%的志愿者在志愿服务后受益于心理健康的改善)”说明志愿服务对精神健康的积极影响，并列举数据表明超过一半的志愿者在身体上也有所改善。空处和前一句话并列说明志愿服务对人的积极影响，除了精神上，对身体上也有好处。E项中的“ improved their physical health too”和前文中的“improved mental health after volunteering”相呼应，说明E项“超过一半的人也改善了他们的身体健康。”符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
下文“It’s a great way to gain experience working in a team. Many workplaces are shifting toward cross-function al collaborative teams, so being able to give concrete examples of working in a team to future employers will be a big plus.(这是获得团队工作经验的好方法。许多工作场所正在向跨职能的协作团队转变，因此能够向未来的雇主提供在团队中工作的具体例子将是一大优势)”说明本段讨论的是团队工作，指出这是一种获得团队工作经验的好方法，且许多工作场所正转向跨职能协作团队，能够提供团队合作的具体例子对未来的雇主来说是一个很大的加分项。所以A项“志愿服务本质上是合作的”适合作本段的主旨大意，统领全段。故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“But without gaining real-world experience in the career, it might end up being a big waste of time and money.(但是，如果没有在职业生涯中获得现实世界的经验，这可能会浪费大量的时间和金钱)”说明学生可能因缺乏对职业的实际了解而选择不适合自己的专业，浪费时间和金钱。空处给出如何解决这一问题方法，F项中的it指代前文中的a degree，说明F项“志愿服务有助于确定它是否合适”符合语境。故选F。

【答案】Dear Alice,
I am worried to know that you should be so addicted to TikTok these days. Playing with TikTok too much is bad for your health. Besides, if you spend so much time on it, I’m afraid you will fall behind your classmates sooner or later.
In my opinion you should find something interesting to do if you want to relax. For example, take a walk on the playground with your friends. Alternatively, you can chat with your classmates, which will cheer you up. It doesn’t mean that TikTok should be completely refused in our life, but playing too much will surely affect our study.
I know you have a strong will and you are clever. I believe you can get rid of this bad habit quite soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn’t want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.”
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.”
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I took my sister home and continued my search alone. Carrying the signs made by my mother, I kept posting them. In the meantime, whenever there were people passing by, I would ask if they had met such a dog. I even knocked from door to door, asking if they had seen it. No luck. Nobody claimed to have spotted our dog. What if I had taken the dog out for a walk Tears of regret welled up in my eyes. As the darkness fell, I decided to come back home to check if anybody had called.
When I returned, my mother was waiting for me, smiling broadly. There, behind my mother, was our lovely dog looking up at me eagerly. Upon seeing me, it raced towards me. I couldn’t hold my tears. “It just came back by itself,” my mother said gently. Hugging the dog with relief, I apologized to my mother sincerely. “I am sure you have learned your lesson today,” my mother replied in a comforting voice. I played with my sister and the dog again. Despite the freezing weather outside, my heart warmed up. It was on the day that I learned the value of responsibility.

Zong Qinghou, a soft drinks giant from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, died of an illness at the age of 79. There has been much mourning at his passing on Feb. 25, 2024 as he was well-known as the founder of a company, headquartered in his hometown in the late 1980s, which later developed into the Wahaha Group, a major soft drinks company.
He is known to the public for three things — his rags-to-riches rise, his long-term frugal (节俭的) lifestyle, and his devotion to promoting China’s national industries. Forbes ranked him, with a wealth of about $5.9 billion, No.53 among Chinese billionaires last year.
Yet besides, it is also worthwhile to think over the question about whether his success in business can be imitated today and what lessons policymakers can learn from his self-made business success as they try to enrich the soil for setting up business.
Before winning a contract (合同) to work as a salesperson of a small school-run factory selling writing materials, iced treats and soft drinks in Hangzhou in 1987, Zong worked as a traveling salesman for nearly a decade after working for 15 years on various posts in local farming communities with Grade-9 education.
His sharp business sense, which he owed to poverty instead of the genes (基因) of the Zhejiang business community, enabled him to recognize business opportunities at a time when the country had just carried out the change from a planned economy to a socialist market one.
The broad space he enjoyed as a sales representative of the factory enabled him to continuously sharpen his sales strategies and enlarge his network of business partners. That not only helped him gather the start-up funds he later used to contract the whole factory, but also influenced his later management style, which he summed up as always trying to make things simpler.
As he told the media, it is the spirit of adventure of his generation and their down-to-earth work style that deserve attention, not his lifestyle, which was a personal choice.

A. His habits. B. His interest.
C His lifestyle. D. His achievements.
5. Why is Zong Qinghou’s early experience mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To tell how he won contracts. B. To tell how different his life was.
C. To show the ways to run a business. D. To show its influence on his business.
6. What made Zong Qinghou find the chance to start his business
A. His sharp sense in business. B. His broad space and freedom.
C. His long-term simple lifestyle. D. His business community’s genes.

Two and a half months before the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins, and almost six months before it enters its peak (高峰), weathermen are already predicting (预测) that it could be particularly active.
Officially, hurricane season begins from June 1 and runs through November. One reason is that sea surface temperatures in the tropical (热带的) Atlantic are already at record highs.
Meanwhile, another significant potential factor in this year’s hurricane season is taking shape thousands of miles away in the Pacific. Over periods ranging from three to seven years, the waters of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean warm and cool in turn as a result of a repeating climate pattern called the El Ni o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes less likely to form but La Ni a does.
During the 2023 season, ENSO was in an El Ni o period. However, by the time the 2024 season starts, it will have changed into a “neutral(中立)” period, but that by the peak months, it is likely to have changed fully into a La Ni a.
“How quickly that change occurs can affect everything as well,” says DaSilva, a lead hurricane weatherman. “There’s a lag time. So, while we expect the change to occur in mid-summer, it may not be until late summer or fall where we really see those effects across the Atlantic basin.” As a result, he says, this year’s hurricane season could remain particularly active deep into November.
Of course, no report can predict when individual storms will come or the paths they will take, but DaSilva warns that those who live in areas likely to suffer hurricanes, especially around the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, should prepare. “If a tropical storm system comes into this area, it could rapidly strengthen, potentially close to land,” he also warns. “And that’s why people need to be careful and have their hurricane plans ready. Because any system with these kinds of conditions can explode very quickly. That’s what we’re concerned about.”
8. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To give advice. B. To explain the season.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To inform a weather report.
9. What is a reason for this year’s hurricane season
A. The hurricane season has entered its peak.
B. A repeating climate has changed weather in summer.
C The sea surface temperatures are the highest of all time.
D. El Ni o makes Atlantic hurricanes more likely to form.
10. What do the underlined words “a lag time” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. A time delay. B. A time in a zone.
C. A time waste. D. A time in advance.
11. What does DaSilva agree with about this year’s hurricane season
A. It can be exactly predicted ahead of time.
B. People needn’t worry about hurricane season.
C. It may be eventually controlled by weathermen.
D. People can’t be more careful about hurricane season.
D
Inspired by the medical bay of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (星际迷航), a research team from the University of Waterloo uses radar technology to monitor people’s health while at the wheel, turning an ordinary car or truck into a mobile medical center.
Dr. George Shaker, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, is working with a team of graduate students to combine radar with evolving vehicle technology to make health checks easier. The idea is to use the time people spend in their cars to gather data on their health for accurate analysis and preventative treatment — without the need for any type of wearable.
The radar, smaller than a USB thumb drive, is placed into the vehicle cabin and sends out signals that detect human vibrations (颤动), which are then sent back to the radar. The built-in AI system collects and analyzes the data to build a medical picture and identify any potential conditions. At the end of the driver’s journey, the system sends the report directly to their cell phone for review.
For Shaker and his team, the challenge was evolving the tech to identify changes in breathing patterns or heart rhythms that signify potential health issues related to cardiovascular conditions as well as respiratory system conditions.
“We focused on enhancing data collection for exact information related to people’s respiratory and cardiovascular systems and teaching the AI how to make medical interpretations from this data. Another important consideration was personal privacy and security — no data is stored on the cloud; it is sent to the monitored person’s cellphone only,” said Ali Ghara, the lead Ph. D. student on the project.
The research team is building on this work to expand the radar technology’s capabilities to monitor all vehicle occupants’ overall health and well-being, run diagnostics and generate quality medical reports that flag any issues that need attention, as well as assist with emergency communication in the event of an accident.
12. What can we learn about the radar technology
A. It provides more precise health data than wearables.
B. It creates medical pictures to reveal healthy secrets.
C. It sends the health report to the driver’s phone for review.
D. It combines with vehicle technology to assess the driver’s health.
13. What can be inferred from Ali Ghara’s words in paragraph 5
A. The AI needs training to collect health data. B. AI’s interpretation of medical data is accurate.
C. Cellphones monitor personal privacy and security. D. The team is improving data collection and analysis.
14. What does the follow-up study aim to do
A. Ensure the privacy of medical reports. B. Warn the drivers of potential accidents.
C. Enhance health monitoring for all passengers. D. Apply the radar technology across vehicles.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Ph. D. Students Build USS Enterprise on Wheels B. Drivers Beware: Radar Spying on Your Heartbeats
C. Healthy Driving: Radar Monitors Health in Vehicles D. Radars May Know Your Conditions Before You Do

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。
One particularly cold Saturday in January, I was supposed to take our dog out for a walk, but it was so cold that I didn’t want to go outside. Instead, I just opened the door and let the dog out by himself. I kept an eye on him to make sure he would come back inside.
However, another neighborhood dog quickly ran past our house, and our dog sped after to catch him. I hurriedly went to grab my coat so I could follow my dog, and then I rushed outside. Unfortunately, I was already too late, and my dog was nowhere in sight. I walked a few blocks, but I was unable to find him.
Depressed, I returned home. My mother was standing at the door waiting, and she asked me what had happened. “I know I was supposed to walk our dog,” I admitted, “but I thought he would be able to go outside and come back by himself. Now he’s gone and I can’t find him anywhere.”
My mother was very angry with me; she said I should have been more responsible. She decided to help by making some signs. The signs read, “Lost: A big black dog. Please call us right away” and she printed our phone number on the bottom. “Okay, Darrell,” she said, as she handed over those signs, “now go post these on all the street posts.”
My sister and I grabbed the signs and we posted them along our street as well as along the surrounding streets. The whole time, I was incredibly sad and worried about our dog. All I could think about was how cold it was and how cold our dog must be. My sister wanted to go home, so I told her I’d walk her home, but then keep looking for the dog myself.
