第一节 (共8 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分20分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Lexi is just a little girl from Canada who found herself in a heart-stopping situation. It started off as a normal car trip. Angela Shymanski, Lexi's mom, was at the wheel, navigating the tricky roads of the Rockies with her daughter Lexi and her baby Peter in the car. An unexpected animal ran into the road. Angela swerved (突然转向) to avoid the animal. Unfortunately, their car was off the road, falling down a steep embankment(路堤).
The crash was nothing short of terrifying. Angela ended up with a broken back. She was unconscious, and unable to help her babies. Meanwhile, baby Peter's cries echoed in the chaos. But Lexi, only five years old, didn't freeze. Instead, she showed courage that would leave many grown-ups in awe.
She quickly jumped into action. The little girl, without even shoes on her feet, wrestled free from her seatbelt and climbed the 40-foot embankment. Once she reached the top, Lexi did everything she could to flag down a passing car in order to get help for her mom and brother.
Lexi's insistence finally paid off. A car stopped, and the people inside didn't hesitate to help her call for emergency services. When the paramedics(护理人员) arrived, they found Angela in a severe state, and her heart had stopped. Thankfully, they managed to bring her back.
Lexi's dad, reflecting on the incident, couldn't help but be amazed by his daughter's bravery. He stressed how important it is for kids to be prepared for emergencies, shocked at how Lexi remembered and acted on what she had been taught. It's a powerful reminder of what kids can do when push comes to shove.
And Lexi's heroism didn't go unnoticed. She was awarded a Bronze Medal for Bravery by the police. But for the Shymanskis, the real prize was being back in each other's arms, safe and sound.
21. What caused the accident
A. The tough road. B. An animal appearing suddenly.
C. A car that suddenly swerved. D. The children's noise.
22. What was Lexi's first move after the accident
A. Putting on her shoes. B. Scaling the 40-foot embankment.
C. Flagging down a passing car. D. Managing to get out of the car.
23. What can we learn about Lexi from paragraph 5
A. Her heroic action deserved recognition.
B. Her dad knew her daughter well enough.
C. She had learned how to deal with emergencies.
D. It was important for her to face some emergencies.
24. Which of the following can best describe Lexi
A. Calm and courageous. B. Brave and honest.
C. Thoughtful but stubborn. D. Caring but naughty.
B
A planet that suffers 475 ° C beneath a thick acid atmosphere may be the last place you'd expect alien(外星的) life in our solar system. But one NASA scientist claims that extraterrestrials(天外来客) are most likely hiding on Venus amid conditions that are unbearable for humans. The new theory was put forward by the research scientist Dr Michelle Thaller. She says that possible signs of life have already been seen within the carbon-dioxide filled atmosphere, adding that she was absolutely certain that life exists somewhere.
Venus is often described as Earth's twin due to its similar size and structure. But their conditions couldn't be further apart, as astronomers believe it would be impossible for humans to exist on Venus. Positioned 67 million miles from the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, suffering temperatures that can even melt lead. Its atmosphere also adds to the uninhabitable situation.
Despite this, scientists have long debated whether Venus' clouds may host microbial(微生物的) life forms that can survive. Many scientists think that photosynthesis(光合作用) ispossible on the planet's surface as Venus receives enough solar energy to pass through its thick clouds.
However, Professor Dominic Papineau, a biologist at the University College of London, believes Dr Thaller's views are“difficult to realistically assume”. He explained,“For life-related chemical reactions to take place, liquid water is necessary. Hence, to find extraterrestrial life, we need to find liquid water, and to find extraterrestrial fossils requires looking for special rocks that were associated with liquid water in the past.”
This makes life on Venus today difficult to realistically assume, because its surface is too hot, although Venus might have had liquid water in its past. Even still, both Professor Papineau and Dr Thaller agree that the icy moons of our solar system could also be sites of potential microbial life. NASA suggests there are 290“traditional moons”in our solar system—excluding 462 smaller minor planets.
25. What can we know about Venus
A. Its atmosphere is thin acidic.
B. It is much bigger than Earth.
C. It is 77 million miles from the Sun.
D. Venus and Earth are considered as twins.
26. Which statement would Papineau agree with
A. Some rocks can prove life exists on Venus.
B. Photosynthesis can happen on Venus's surface.
C. Liquid water is important for the extraterrestrials.
D. Thick clouds make photosynthesis in Venus hard.
27. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. The surface temperature of Venus is high.
B. It's very easy to confirm life on Venus.
C. Venus might have liquid water now.
D. Many icy moons go around Venus.
28. In which section of a newspaper can you find this text
A. Education. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Sports.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What Does Our Body Language Reveal
29 People tend to judge us far more on our physical appearance, including our mannerisms, thanby what comes out of our mouths. To give the right impression, it's important to understand what we are conveying non-verbally and how our unconscious signals are being received by the people we interact with.
Smiling is a powerful tool in your body language collection. Perhaps you smile a lot in the hope of appearing friendly. 30 In some Asian cultures, smiling too much is seen as a signal that you're not a serious person and may lose you some respect.
If you're trying to hide nervousness you'd better avoid smiling too much, too. Also be aware that nervous people often hug themselves, rub their forehead, and shift their body weight from one foot to another to create a slight rocking motion. 31
If you're trying to show that you are listening sympathetically to what someone has to say, try tipping your head slightly and nodding very slightly. This gesture implies you are listening with interest. If you're talking to someone and a third person joins, turn your body towards them slightly to include them and make them feel valued. 32 A single nod of the head is also a strong gest ure of coolness when listening to another person.
To build trust quickly Try mirroring. Adopting a similar stance(站姿) to the person you are engaged with indicates your interest and helps develop trust. Use this with caution, though.
33 Mirroring only works when they don't realize what you're doing.
A. Don't obviously copy your companion.
B. Our body language speaks volumes about us.
C. Control these habits to appear more composed.
D. Our body language barely overshadows our verbal communication.
E. Just be aware that it might make you seem less professional at work.
F. We tend to position our body and feet toward the person of interest to us.
G. By contrast,a failure to angle your body towards them implies“Unwelcome”.

At the same time, back at the mother hole, the net is being lowered slowly 41 surely, meter by meter until it's 42 (complete) submerged under the ice.

Dear Chris,
How is it going I've just had a “light bulb” moment for our entry in the upcoming Campus Cultural and Creative Design Competition, and I can't wait to share it with you to get your thoughts.
How about creating a series of bookmarks On one side,we'll have our school motto,and on the flip side. breathtaking illustrations showcase our campus throughout the four seasons.Each bookmark will capture a special moment or scene that perfectly reflects the essence of that particular season.I really think this idea not only nails the competition theme but also offers a practical yet visually stunning product that truly represents the spirit of our school.
What do you think Would love to hear your thoughts and any suggestions you might have!
Yours,
LiJin
