Juleus Ghunta is a published children's author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta's family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn't make out words, spell, or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. "She had left me with the gift of literacy," he said, "and with the value as a human being." His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for "most improved in reading". He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children's books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He's now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
"I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her—the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy."
24．What do we know about Ghunta's family
A．The family lived a poor life.
B．Their house sat in the urban area.
C．His mother had no choice of resources.
D．The family was supported by his parents.
25．Which word best describes Ghunta before meeting the young teacher
A．Lazy. B．Impatient. C．Careless. D．Unconfident.
26．What can be inferred about the teacher's impact on Ghunta's life beyond literacy
A．She encouraged him to pursue a career in education.
B．She helped him get a sense of self-worth and hope.
C．She introduced him to the world of professional writing.
D．She provided him with financial support for his education.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Poor Students Finding Help
B．A College Shaping Someone
C．Life Led In A New Direction
D．The Pain Brought By The Poor Life
（2024高二下·钦州期末）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。
The world's oceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change, growing demand, urbanization, and pollution, threatening their ability to sustain life.
"Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective," said the co-founder of a technology company. "Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can't balance back anymore," he explains.
The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fishlike robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim like fish. The standard version is about 1.3 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors to measure oxygen, salinity (盐度) and pH levels.
The founder was motivated to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter learned about the ocean crisis and asked him to help protect the seas. He says it's important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly.
The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals.
Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world's waterways. "We need capital to commercialize," said the CEO, "but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways." The founder hopes more funding will follow. He said, "Investors should absolutely wake up."
28．What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs
A．To introduce the topic of the text.
B．To state the importance of the text.
C．To explain the urgency of water resources.
D．To weaken the seriousness of water pollution.
29．Which is one of the advantages of the robots
A．They can lead other fishes.
B．They can easily catch children's eyes.
C．They work efficiently under the water.
D．They can swim without being recharged.
30． What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The launch of a new program.
B．The application of the technology.
C．Management of the company.
D．Development of the company.
31．What problem does the company face currently
A．How to make people focus on technology.
B．How to keep investors positive.
C．How to produce more robots.
D．How to collect more money.

For centuries, explorers have searched for the fountain of youth. Surprisingly, the secret to staying young might have been within us all along. Amor, a scientist, and colleagues have discovered that T cells can be reprogrammed to fight aging, so to speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white blood cells can attack another group of cells known as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thought to be responsible for many of the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are those that stop replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in our bodies, resulting in some diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly over time. As an alternative, Amor and colleagues turned to a "living" drug called CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cells.
They discovered CAR T cells could be used to rid of senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lower body weight, improved metabolism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. All these came without any tissue damage or side effects.
Perhaps the greatest power of CAR T cells is their long-lasting effects. The team found that just one dose (一剂) at a young age can have lifelong effects. That single treatment can protect against conditions that commonly occur later in life.
"T cells have the ability to develop memory and exist in your body for really long periods, which is very different from a chemical drug," Amor explained.
Amor's lab is now investigating whether CAR T cells let mice live not only healthier but also longer. If so, society will be one step closer to the fountain of youth.
32． What discovery have scientists made about T cells and aging
A．T cells cause aging.
B．T cells can fight aging.
C．Senescent cells are T cells.
D．Aging is caused by genetic changes.
33． What does the underlined word "eliminate" in paragraph 3 mean
A．Remove. B．Sustain. C．Cue. D．Polish.
34． Which effect of CAR T cells on young mice does the text emphasize
A．Short-term activity increase. B．Immediate weight reduction.
C．Lifelong health enhancement. D．Temporary metabolic improvement.
35．What is Amor's attitude to the future of employing CAR T cells
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Critical. D．Optimistic.

About 15years ago, Oliver Muensterer packed his suitcase and traveled from his home in Leipzig, Germany to a town a few hours away. He had a job interview, so he arrived the evening beforehand, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement about the opportunity that lay ahead.
When he woke up the next morning, the sunlight filtering through the curtains cast a warm glow in the hotel room. As he took a shower and started to get dressed, his mind raced with thoughts of the upcoming interview. The realization that he had forgotten to pack a white dress shirt struck him like a bolt of lightning, causing his heart to skip a beat.
"I thought I had prepared perfectly for everything. I had a tie; I had my suit; but somehow I had forgotten the shirt," Muensterer muttered to himself, a touch of frustration in his voice.
This discovery sent Muensterer into a panic. He rushed down to the lobby（大厅）and went to the front desk to ask the man behind the counter if he could suggest a nearby store where he could buy a new shirt.
Approaching the front desk, he quickly explained his problem to the man behind the counter, desperation evident in his voice and behaviour.
"I'm really in a lot of trouble. I will have this really important job interview in an hour. And somehow I forgot my dress shirt at home." Muensterer explained.
Muensterer's heart raced as he stood at the front desk, his desperation palpable in the way his fingers tapped nervously against the polished wood. Every passing second felt like a lifetime as he awaited the front desk attendant's response. The weight of the coming interview hung heavy on his shoulders, each breath a struggle against the choking panic. Yet, a glimmer of hope flickered within him as he asked assistance, his eyes searching desperately for any sign of solution. Would this stranger truly hold the key to saving his chance at success
However, hardly had Muensterer finished his words when the man behind the counter said, "Don't worry, sir, I have a solution."
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Rather than directing Muensterer to a nearby shop, the desk attendant did something surprising.
After the job interview, Muensterer returned to the front desk with the shirt in hand, along with a heart full of gratitude.

M: No, no. This is easy compared to that. My cousin is coming on Thursday. She has an interview at the college and I promised my aunt I'd look after her. We are going to the supermarket, but on Saturday I'm on duty at the library all day and can't get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can all meet for dinner later.
W: Sure. I don't have any plans. What kind of things does she like to do
M: Actually I haven't seen her for three years. She lives so far away. But this will be her first time on a college campus; she is still in high school. So she probably enjoys anything on campus.
W: Well, there is a music festival in the hall. That's a possibility. I hope it doesn't snow. They are predicting 68 inches for the weekend. Everything will be closed down then.
M: Well, how about, for the time being, planning on dropping her off at your place on my way to work But if there is a snowstorm, I'll give you a call and see if we can figure something else out.
W: Sounds good. We can touch again on Friday night when we have a better idea of the forecast.
M: I hope this works out.

【解析】【听力原文】W: Imagine a world with no more wild animals—no elephants, no giraffes or lions. To me, it is such a terrible thought for the world. Being surrounded by wild animals, feeding them and caring for them, is all that I've wanted to do with my life. And that is exactly what I am doing now. I care for 500 animals that live on my family's wildlife farm in San Antonio, Texas. I wear many hats for doing many different jobs there every day. I care for creatures from around the world. I love them all. However, the giraffes occupy a special place in my heart. The population in the last 15 years has declined by 80 percent. Buddy and Wasswa are one of just nine sets of twin giraffes born at zoos around the world. After getting some media attention, I launched the Giraffe Conservation Foundation to help protect giraffes living in the wild. I'm so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes' protection up to a higher level. Our farm is open to the public. Visitors can not only learn about the animals, but also get close to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their natural environment.

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和标题归纳两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Ghunta's family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home. "Ghunta的家人住在牙买加西部的农村地区。他的母亲经常不得不在如何使用有限的资源方面做出艰难的选择，包括决定送他的大姐去上学，以及让Ghunta留在家里。可知，Ghunta的母亲经常不得不就如何利用有限的资源做出艰难的选择。因此，Ghunta的家庭生活贫困。故选A。
25．考查推理判断。根据第二段"When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn't make out words. spell, or read with understanding. "当Ghunta终于去上学时，他的阅读技能却跟不上了。他不仅小时候被关在家里不去上学，而且也没有接触过书本。当他上六年级的时候，他已经能拼出自己的名字了，但他还是不会发音。用理解拼写或阅读；以及第四段中的"Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. "在她的指导下，Ghunta的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。可知，在遇到那位年轻教师之前，古特的阅读能力很差，到六年级时仍不能读懂单词，这使他在学习上落后，可以推断他的自信心是不足的。因此，最能描述他的词是Unconfident"不自信的"。故选C。
26．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"‘She had left me with the gift of literacy,' he said, ‘and with the value as a human being.' His life took a new direction. "她给我留下了识字的礼物，"他说，"以及作为人的价值。"他的生活有了新的方向；以及最后一段中的"‘I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her—the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.""我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆——希望和光明——的方式，以及它如何继续成为快乐的源泉。"可知，这位老师对古特的影响超出了识字本身，她帮助他获得了自我价值感和希望。故选B。
27．考查标题归纳。根据第四段中的"Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. ‘She had left me with the gift of literacy,' he said, ‘and with the value as a human being.' His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for ‘most improved in reading'. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children's books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He's now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.

"该公司的目标是利用像鱼一样的机器人来填补这一信息空白，这些机器人可以从水下环境中收集数据。可知，前两段首先描述了全球水体面临的压力和威胁，随后引出了一位技术公司联合创始人的观点，强调了缺乏有效数据来了解水体健康状况的问题，为下文介绍该公司使用鱼形机器人收集水下环境数据的技术做铺垫，因此其目的是引入正文话题。故选A。
29．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"He says it's important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly. "在他8岁的女儿得知海洋危机并请求他帮助保护海洋之后，这位创始人就有了制造这些机器人的动机。他说，重要的是机器人能够融入自然栖息地——在不打扰其他生物的情况下与它们一起游泳，并顺利绕过障碍物；以及第五段"The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals."该公司已将其技术应用于不同地区。它在淡水和咸水、水坝附近、港口和养鱼场都能运行，检查水质和鱼类健康等情况，并收集它们所到之处的数据。该公司首席执行官表示，该技术可用于该地区的水资源管理、可持续水产养殖运营以及监测珊瑚健康状况。可知，该机器人能潜入水下自然柄息地，和其他生物一起游泳而不打扰它们，并能顺利地绕过障碍物，且在不同水域可运行，有多种作用。这说明该机器人在水下可以高效地工作。故选C。
30．考查段落大意。根据第五段"The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals. "该公司已将其技术应用于不同地区。它在淡水和咸水、水坝附近、港口和养鱼场都能运行，检查水质和鱼类健康等情况，并收集它们所到之处的数据。该公司首席执行官表示，该技术可用于该地区的水资源管理、可持续水产养殖运营以及监测珊瑚健康状况。可知，本段介绍了这种科技的应用场景及实例。故选B。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world's waterways. ‘We need capital to commercialize,' said the CEO, ‘but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways.' The founder hopes more funding will follow. He said, ‘Investors should absolutely wake up.'" 尽管如此，该公司在其像鱼一样的机器人在世界各地的水道上游弋之前还有一些障碍要清除。"我们需要资金来实现商业化，"这位首席执行官说，"但很少有人愿意真正支持那些在水路上从事前沿技术的人。"这位创始人希望更多的资金会随之而来。他说："投资者绝对应该醒过来。"可知，该公司现在面临资金的问题，需要更多资金来商业化这种机器人。故选D。

67．【答案】Rather than directing Muensterer to a nearby shop, the desk attendant did something surprising. Without hesitation, the man offered to lend Muensterer his own white dress shirt for the job interview. Having received this unexpected act of kindness from a stranger, Muensterer was greatly touched by the man's generosity and felt grateful for the timely assistance. Accepting the offer, he quickly changed into the borrowed shirt, which surprisingly fit him perfectly. As he looked at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but marvel at the fortunate turn of events that had saved the day.
After the job interview, Muensterer returned to the front desk with the shirt in hand, along with a heart full of gratitude. He thanked the desk attendant sincerely for his generosity. He expressed how the shirt had helped him feel more confident during the interview. The man behind the counter simply smiled and waved off Muensterer's thanks, saying it was all part of the hotel's commitment to ensuring their guests' comfort. So ever since, when Muenster er sees someone who needs anything, he's very willing to share. And he always thinks about that special day when a total stranger helped him out of a lot of trouble.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了大约15年前，Oliver Muensterer从德国莱比锡的家中出发，前往几小时车程外的一个小镇参加工作面试。第二天醒来，他发现自己忘了带白衬衫，焦急万分。急忙跑到酒店前台求助，前台人员闻言表示有解决办法，给焦虑中的奥利弗带来了一线希望。段落续写：①由第一段句首内容"服务台服务员没有指引明斯特尔去附近的商店，而是做了一件令人惊讶的事。"可知，第一段可以描写服务员给Oliver Muensterer衬衫的举动和Oliver Muensterer的反应。②由第二段句首内容"面试结束后，Muensterer拿着衬衫回到前台，心里充满了感激之情。"可知，第二段可以描写Oliver Muensterer在这件事之后的行动和感悟。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：Without hesitation, the man offered to lend Muensterer his own white dress shirt for the job interview. 运用了不定式作宾语；Having received this unexpected act of kindness from a stranger, Muensterer was greatly touched by the man's generosity and felt grateful for the timely assistance. 运用了现在分词的完成式作状语，被动语态；Accepting the offer, he quickly changed into the borrowed shirt, which surprisingly fit him perfectly. 运用了非限制性定语从句；As he looked at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but marvel at the fortunate turn of events that had saved the day.运用了时间状语从句，限制性定语从句； He expressed how the shirt had helped him feel more confident during the interview. 运用了宾语从句； The man behind the counter simply smiled and waved off Muensterer's thanks, saying it was all part of the hotel's commitment to ensuring their guests' comfort. 运用了现在分词作状语，宾语从句；So ever since, when Muenster er sees someone who needs anything, he's very willing to share. 运用了时间状语从句，限制性定语从句。

I care for 500 animals that live on my family's wildlife farm in San Antonio, Texas. I wear many hats for doing many different jobs there every day. I care for creatures from around the world. I love them all. However, the giraffes occupy a special place in my heart. The population in the last 15 years has declined by 80 percent. Buddy and Wasswa are one of just nine sets of twin giraffes born at zoos around the world. After getting some media attention, I launched the Giraffe Conservation Foundation to help protect giraffes living in the wild. I'm so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes' protection up to a higher level. Our farm is open to the public. Visitors can not only learn about the animals, but also get close to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their natural environment.

Juleus Ghunta is a published children's author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta's family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn't make out words, spell, or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. "She had left me with the gift of literacy," he said, "and with the value as a human being." His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for "most improved in reading". He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children's books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He's now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.
"I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her—the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy."
24．What do we know about Ghunta's family
A．The family lived a poor life.
B．Their house sat in the urban area.
C．His mother had no choice of resources.
D．The family was supported by his parents.
25．Which word best describes Ghunta before meeting the young teacher
A．Lazy. B．Impatient. C．Careless. D．Unconfident.
26．What can be inferred about the teacher's impact on Ghunta's life beyond literacy
A．She encouraged him to pursue a career in education.
B．She helped him get a sense of self-worth and hope.
C．She introduced him to the world of professional writing.
D．She provided him with financial support for his education.
27．What can be the best title for the text

B．A College Shaping Someone
C．Life Led In A New Direction
D．The Pain Brought By The Poor Life
【答案】24．A
25．D

27．C
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Juleus Ghunta的成长经历，特别是他从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书籍作者和获奖诗人的转变过程，展现了个人奋斗和他人帮助对他人生路径的深刻影响。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和标题归纳两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Ghunta's family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home. "Ghunta的家人住在牙买加西部的农村地区。他的母亲经常不得不在如何使用有限的资源方面做出艰难的选择，包括决定送他的大姐去上学，以及让Ghunta留在家里。可知，Ghunta的母亲经常不得不就如何利用有限的资源做出艰难的选择。因此，Ghunta的家庭生活贫困。故选A。
25．考查推理判断。根据第二段"When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn't catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn't make out words. spell, or read with understanding. "当Ghunta终于去上学时，他的阅读技能却跟不上了。他不仅小时候被关在家里不去上学，而且也没有接触过书本。当他上六年级的时候，他已经能拼出自己的名字了，但他还是不会发音。用理解拼写或阅读；以及第四段中的"Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. "在她的指导下，Ghunta的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。可知，在遇到那位年轻教师之前，古特的阅读能力很差，到六年级时仍不能读懂单词，这使他在学习上落后，可以推断他的自信心是不足的。因此，最能描述他的词是Unconfident"不自信的"。故选C。
26．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"‘She had left me with the gift of literacy,' he said, ‘and with the value as a human being.' His life took a new direction. "她给我留下了识字的礼物，"他说，"以及作为人的价值。"他的生活有了新的方向；以及最后一段中的"‘I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her—the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.""我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆——希望和光明——的方式，以及它如何继续成为快乐的源泉。"可知，这位老师对古特的影响超出了识字本身，她帮助他获得了自我价值感和希望。故选B。
27．考查标题归纳。根据第四段中的"Under her guidance, Ghunta's reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. ‘She had left me with the gift of literacy,' he said, ‘and with the value as a human being.' His life took a new direction.

（2024高二下·钦州期末）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。
The world's oceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change, growing demand, urbanization, and pollution, threatening their ability to sustain life.
"Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective," said the co-founder of a technology company. "Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can't balance back anymore," he explains.
The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fishlike robots that collect data from underwater environments. Powered by batteries, they are designed to look and swim like fish. The standard version is about 1.3 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms and can be equipped with cameras and sensors to measure oxygen, salinity (盐度) and pH levels.
The founder was motivated to build the robots after his eight-year-old daughter learned about the ocean crisis and asked him to help protect the seas. He says it's important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly.
The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals.
Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world's waterways. "We need capital to commercialize," said the CEO, "but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways." The founder hopes more funding will follow. He said, "Investors should absolutely wake up."

28．考查推理判断。根据第一段"The world's oceans, lakes and rivers are under increasing pressure from climate change, growing demand, urbanization, and pollution, threatening their ability to sustain life. "世界上的海洋、湖泊和河流正面临着气候变化、需求增长、城市化和污染带来的越来越大的压力，威胁着它们维持生命的能力；第二段"‘Without better data to understand the health of increasingly stressed waterways, the fight to save these most precious resources will be ineffective,' said the co-founder of a technology company. ‘Virtually every waterway is polluted to an extent where the ecosystem just can't balance back anymore,' he explains.""没有更好的数据来了解日益紧张的水道的健康状况，拯救这些最宝贵资源的斗争将是无效的，"一家科技公司的联合创始人说。他解释说："实际上，每条水道都被污染到了生态系统无法再平衡的程度。"；以及第三段中的"The company is aiming to fill that information gap using fishlike robots that collect data from underwater environments. "该公司的目标是利用像鱼一样的机器人来填补这一信息空白，这些机器人可以从水下环境中收集数据。可知，前两段首先描述了全球水体面临的压力和威胁，随后引出了一位技术公司联合创始人的观点，强调了缺乏有效数据来了解水体健康状况的问题，为下文介绍该公司使用鱼形机器人收集水下环境数据的技术做铺垫，因此其目的是引入正文话题。故选A。
29．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"He says it's important that the robots can integrate into natural habitats—swimming among other creatures without disturbing them and moving around obstacles smoothly. "在他8岁的女儿得知海洋危机并请求他帮助保护海洋之后，这位创始人就有了制造这些机器人的动机。他说，重要的是机器人能够融入自然栖息地——在不打扰其他生物的情况下与它们一起游泳，并顺利绕过障碍物；以及第五段"The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals."该公司已将其技术应用于不同地区。它在淡水和咸水、水坝附近、港口和养鱼场都能运行，检查水质和鱼类健康等情况，并收集它们所到之处的数据。该公司首席执行官表示，该技术可用于该地区的水资源管理、可持续水产养殖运营以及监测珊瑚健康状况。可知，该机器人能潜入水下自然柄息地，和其他生物一起游泳而不打扰它们，并能顺利地绕过障碍物，且在不同水域可运行，有多种作用。这说明该机器人在水下可以高效地工作。故选C。
30．考查段落大意。根据第五段"The company has put its technology to use in different regions. It has operated in both fresh and saltwater, near dams, and in harbors and fish farms, checking things like water quality and fish health and collecting data wherever they go. The CEO of the company said its technology could be used in the region for water management, sustainable aquaculture (水产养殖) operations, and monitoring the health of corals. "该公司已将其技术应用于不同地区。它在淡水和咸水、水坝附近、港口和养鱼场都能运行，检查水质和鱼类健康等情况，并收集它们所到之处的数据。该公司首席执行官表示，该技术可用于该地区的水资源管理、可持续水产养殖运营以及监测珊瑚健康状况。可知，本段介绍了这种科技的应用场景及实例。故选B。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Still, the company has some blocks to clear before its fishlike robots will be seen cruising (游弋) through the world's waterways. ‘We need capital to commercialize,' said the CEO, ‘but there are very few people who are willing to actually support those that are doing frontier technologies in the waterways.' The founder hopes more funding will follow. He said, ‘Investors should absolutely wake up.'" 尽管如此，该公司在其像鱼一样的机器人在世界各地的水道上游弋之前还有一些障碍要清除。"我们需要资金来实现商业化，"这位首席执行官说，"但很少有人愿意真正支持那些在水路上从事前沿技术的人。"这位创始人希望更多的资金会随之而来。他说："投资者绝对应该醒过来。"可知，该公司现在面临资金的问题，需要更多资金来商业化这种机器人。故选D。
（2024高二下·钦州期末）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。
For centuries, explorers have searched for the fountain of youth. Surprisingly, the secret to staying young might have been within us all along. Amor, a scientist, and colleagues have discovered that T cells can be reprogrammed to fight aging, so to speak.
Given the right genetic changes, these white blood cells can attack another group of cells known as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thought to be responsible for many of the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are those that stop replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in our bodies, resulting in some diseases.
While several existing drugs can eliminate these cells, many must be taken repeatedly over time. As an alternative, Amor and colleagues turned to a "living" drug called CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cells.
They discovered CAR T cells could be used to rid of senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lower body weight, improved metabolism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. All these came without any tissue damage or side effects.
Perhaps the greatest power of CAR T cells is their long-lasting effects. The team found that just one dose (一剂) at a young age can have lifelong effects. That single treatment can protect against conditions that commonly occur later in life.
"T cells have the ability to develop memory and exist in your body for really long periods, which is very different from a chemical drug," Amor explained.
Amor's lab is now investigating whether CAR T cells let mice live not only healthier but also longer. If so, society will be one step closer to the fountain of youth.
32． What discovery have scientists made about T cells and aging
A．T cells cause aging.
B．T cells can fight aging.
C．Senescent cells are T cells.
D．Aging is caused by genetic changes.
33． What does the underlined word "eliminate" in paragraph 3 mean
A．Remove. B．Sustain. C．Cue. D．Polish.
34． Which effect of CAR T cells on young mice does the text emphasize
A．Short-term activity increase. B．Immediate weight reduction.
C．Lifelong health enhancement. D．Temporary metabolic improvement.
35．What is Amor's attitude to the future of employing CAR T cells
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Critical. D．Optimistic.
【答案】32．B
33．A
34．C
35．D
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；说明文；科普类

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Amor, a scientist, and colleagues have discovered that T cells can be reprogrammed to fight aging, so to speak."科学家Amor和他的同事们发现，T细胞可以通过重新编程来对抗衰老。可知，科学家发现T细胞可以对抗衰老。故选B。
33．考查词义猜测。根据第二段"Given the right genetic changes, these white blood cells can attack another group of cells known as senescent (衰老的) cells, which are thought to be responsible for many of the diseases we fight with later in life. Senescent cells are those that stop replicating (再生). As we age, they build up in our bodies, resulting in some diseases."如果基因发生了正确的变化，这些白细胞可以攻击另一组被称为衰老细胞的细胞，衰老细胞被认为是导致我们晚年与之抗争的许多疾病的原因。衰老细胞是那些停止复制的细胞。随着年龄的增长，它们在我们体内积聚，导致一些疾病；以及第三段中的"While several existing drugs can"可知，while表示转折，说明虽然目前有几种药物可以消除这些导致人衰老的细胞，但许多药物必须长期反复服用。可推知划线词eliminate意思是"消除"，故选A。
34．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"They discovered CART cells could be used to rid of senescent cells in mice. As a result, the mice ended up living healthier lives. They had lower body weight, improved metabolism (新陈代谢), and increased physical activity. "结果，老鼠最终过上了更健康的生活他们发现CART细胞可以用来清除小鼠体内的衰老细胞。结果，老鼠最终过上了更健康的生活。他们的体重较低，新陈代谢改善，体力活动增加；以及第五段中的"Perhaps the greatest power of CART cells is their long-lasting effects. The team found that just one dose (一剂) at a young age can have lifelong effects. "也许CART细胞最大的力量在于它们的持久效果.研究小组发现，年轻时服用一剂就能产生终生影响。可知，CART细胞让老鼠的身体更健康，而且这种影响还很持久。故选C。
35．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Amor's lab is now investigating whether CART cells let mice live not only healthier but also longer. If so, society will be one step closer to the fountain of youth."Amor的实验室目前正在研究CART细胞是否能让老鼠不仅活得更健康，而且活得更长。如果是这样，社会离青春的源泉又近了一步。可知，Amor对CART细胞的未来持乐观态度。故选D。

八、第二节（满分25分）
67．（2024高二下·钦州期末）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。
About 15years ago, Oliver Muensterer packed his suitcase and traveled from his home in Leipzig, Germany to a town a few hours away. He had a job interview, so he arrived the evening beforehand, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement about the opportunity that lay ahead.
When he woke up the next morning, the sunlight filtering through the curtains cast a warm glow in the hotel room. As he took a shower and started to get dressed, his mind raced with thoughts of the upcoming interview. The realization that he had forgotten to pack a white dress shirt struck him like a bolt of lightning, causing his heart to skip a beat.
"I thought I had prepared perfectly for everything. I had a tie; I had my suit; but somehow I had forgotten the shirt," Muensterer muttered to himself, a touch of frustration in his voice.
This discovery sent Muensterer into a panic. He rushed down to the lobby（大厅）and went to the front desk to ask the man behind the counter if he could suggest a nearby store where he could buy a new shirt.
Approaching the front desk, he quickly explained his problem to the man behind the counter, desperation evident in his voice and behaviour.
"I'm really in a lot of trouble. I will have this really important job interview in an hour. And somehow I forgot my dress shirt at home." Muensterer explained.
Muensterer's heart raced as he stood at the front desk, his desperation palpable in the way his fingers tapped nervously against the polished wood. Every passing second felt like a lifetime as he awaited the front desk attendant's response. The weight of the coming interview hung heavy on his shoulders, each breath a struggle against the choking panic. Yet, a glimmer of hope flickered within him as he asked assistance, his eyes searching desperately for any sign of solution. Would this stranger truly hold the key to saving his chance at success
However, hardly had Muensterer finished his words when the man behind the counter said, "Don't worry, sir, I have a solution."

Rather than directing Muensterer to a nearby shop, the desk attendant did something surprising.
After the job interview, Muensterer returned to the front desk with the shirt in hand, along with a heart full of gratitude.
【答案】Rather than directing Muensterer to a nearby shop, the desk attendant did something surprising. Without hesitation, the man offered to lend Muensterer his own white dress shirt for the job interview. Having received this unexpected act of kindness from a stranger, Muensterer was greatly touched by the man's generosity and felt grateful for the timely assistance. Accepting the offer, he quickly changed into the borrowed shirt, which surprisingly fit him perfectly. As he looked at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but marvel at the fortunate turn of events that had saved the day.
After the job interview, Muensterer returned to the front desk with the shirt in hand, along with a heart full of gratitude. He thanked the desk attendant sincerely for his generosity. He expressed how the shirt had helped him feel more confident during the interview. The man behind the counter simply smiled and waved off Muensterer's thanks, saying it was all part of the hotel's commitment to ensuring their guests' comfort. So ever since, when Muenster er sees someone who needs anything, he's very willing to share. And he always thinks about that special day when a total stranger helped him out of a lot of trouble.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了大约15年前，Oliver Muensterer从德国莱比锡的家中出发，前往几小时车程外的一个小镇参加工作面试。第二天醒来，他发现自己忘了带白衬衫，焦急万分。急忙跑到酒店前台求助，前台人员闻言表示有解决办法，给焦虑中的奥利弗带来了一线希望。段落续写：①由第一段句首内容"服务台服务员没有指引明斯特尔去附近的商店，而是做了一件令人惊讶的事。"可知，第一段可以描写服务员给Oliver Muensterer衬衫的举动和Oliver Muensterer的反应。②由第二段句首内容"面试结束后，Muensterer拿着衬衫回到前台，心里充满了感激之情。"可知，第二段可以描写Oliver Muensterer在这件事之后的行动和感悟。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
