Want to see the world Each year, TIME magazine makes a list of the World’s Greatest Places, which is provided by our readers. They will take us from cities to wilderness, and from tiny villages to faraway islands. Here are some of the best ones.
Culture Trip
Rapa Nui is an island in the Pacific Ocean. It’s also known as Easter Island. It’s famous for the massive and mysterious sculptures(雕像) made by the Rapa Nui people, who arrived about 1,200 years ago. The spirit of Hotu Matu’a, their early king, is said to have become a sea turtle.
—By Johanna Read
Lively Spot
The Galápagos Islands are located off the coast of Ecuador in South America. They are some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Recently, marine-life protections were expanded in the area, limiting fishing and cresting safe paths for animals to travel through.
—By Karen Catchpole
Ancient Past
Alentejo is a rural part of Portugal in Europe. It is covered with forests and olive groves. There are ancient cities, too. A museum in Estremoz shows off traditional tiles. In Esperanca, hikers can see eagles and vultures, plus 5,000-year-old cave paintings.
—By Robin Catalano
Bike It!
Bogotá is the capital of Colombia in South America. It’s the perfect place for a bike ride. The city has taken steps to reduce pollution. It has more than 350 miles of bike paths. The city also has a bike share program, which will provide bicycles that people with disabilities can use.

When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.
In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.”
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams.
4. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text
A. To call on people to prepare for disasters.
B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience.
C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast.
D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist.
5. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text
A. Climate change. B. People’s injury.
C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience.
6. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph
A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous.
7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health.
C
People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (轻便梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can also help anyone else who has a hard time walking, including older people and pregnant women.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a sack (袋) of potatoes.
Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell it.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered. It doesn’t require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free. The Greek government has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece’s government hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
8. Who is Seatrac designed for
A. Older people who move freely.
B. Youths who like to swim in the sea.
C. Women who enjoy beach baths with their children.
D. People who have trouble moving around on the beach.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The system. B. Potato. C. Ramp. D. Normal wheelchair.
10. What can we learn about the Seatrac system
A. It’s not easy to operate.
B. Users don’t have to worry about charging it.
C. People need to have a big cost to use it in Greece.
D. It has been available at more than one thousand beaches.
11. Why does the Greek government help pay for the Seatrac service
A. To improve the government’s image.
B. To promote the development of tourism.
C. To set up an organization for the disabled.
D. To support small and medium-sized local companies.
D
In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat.
The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat-raising process. The first cells come from live animals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow to look like normal meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.
The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals.
Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird. But Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try the meat, “The most common response we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”
But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Even though the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply.
12. What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat
A. It is created from animal cells in a laboratory.
B. It is cheaper than the normal meat.
C. America is the first country to approve selling it.
D. Two companies are allowed to do research on it.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The necessity of eating normal meat.
B. The process of creating lab-grown meat.
C. The disadvantages of raising animals for food.
D. The similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.
14. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Easy. B. Ordinary. C. Strange. D. Attractive.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Lab-grown Meat Is Outdated
B. What Exactly Is Lab-grown Meat
C. How Is the Lab-grown Chicken Made
D. Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming

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。
My parents took me to join the teen group at the community center last summer. Boys and girls from different schools were in the same group. That sounded scary to me because I was afraid of connecting with strangers. I was ready to run back to my hideout at the neighborhood library but my parents insisted.
The first meeting was an ice-breaker program. We were divided into teams, given our lists, and sent out into the neighborhood to find our target items. Time was running out on our quest as we came to the only item missing: a campaign button (竞选徽章) which looks great on shirts, jackets, caps or bags and will stand out as people get into the campaign spirit.
The team was about to call our task done when I finally found the courage to speak up. “How about going to the television studio for the button ” I asked. “They have lots of politicians as guests.”
My team leader agreed and we made our way to the studio. I took a deep breath and headed into the hall. A young man looked up from his position behind a big desk.
“Can I help you ” he asked.
I explained why I was in need of a campaign button. “Please, would you happen to have one ”
He smiled and then searched around in his desk for a few minutes.
“Sorry, I don’t have one,” he said.
“Thanks for trying,” I said and turned away.
“Wait a minute,” he said. “Let me see if one of the staff might have one.”
A few minutes later, a figure came out. This was an icon of New Orleans television: Hap Glaudi. He was my favorite sportscaster (体育比赛解说员).
“Young lady, you are so lucky.” His voice sounded every bit as friendly and kind as he did on the air. “I have a campaign button from the previous year’s presidential election.”
He approached me and handed it to me. Feeling embarrassed, I asked in a low voice, “Can I really take it ”
“Of course you can! I’m serious!” he replied immediately and looked at me in the eye.
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。
I thanked him and left.

When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.
In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.”
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams.

People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (轻便梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can also help anyone else who has a hard time walking, including older people and pregnant women.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a sack (袋) of potatoes.
Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell it.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered. It doesn’t require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free. The Greek government has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece’s government hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
8. Who is Seatrac designed for
A. Older people who move freely.
B. Youths who like to swim in the sea.
C. Women who enjoy beach baths with their children.
D People who have trouble moving around on the beach.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The system. B. Potato. C. Ramp. D. Normal wheelchair.
10. What can we learn about the Seatrac system
A. It’s not easy to operate.
B. Users don’t have to worry about charging it.
C. People need to have a big cost to use it in Greece.
D. It has been available at more than one thousand beaches.
11. Why does the Greek government help pay for the Seatrac service
A. To improve the government’s image.
B. To promote the development of tourism.
C. To set up an organization for the disabled.
D. To support small and medium-sized local companies.

D
In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat.
The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat-raising process. The first cells come from live animals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow to look like normal meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.
The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals.
Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird. But Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try the meat, “The most common response we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”
But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Even though the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply.
12. What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat
A. It is created from animal cells in a laboratory.
B. It is cheaper than the normal meat.
C. America is the first country to approve selling it.
D. Two companies are allowed to do research on it.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The necessity of eating normal meat.
B. The process of creating lab-grown meat.
C. The disadvantages of raising animals for food.
D. The similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.
14. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Easy. B. Ordinary. C. Strange. D. Attractive.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Lab-grown Meat Is Outdated
B What Exactly Is Lab-grown Meat
C. How Is the Lab-grown Chicken Made
D. Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming

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。
My parents took me to join the teen group at the community center last summer. Boys and girls from different schools were in the same group. That sounded scary to me because I was afraid of connecting with strangers. I was ready to run back to my hideout at the neighborhood library, but my parents insisted.
The first meeting was an ice-breaker program. We were divided into teams, given our lists, and sent out into the neighborhood to find our target items. Time was running out on our quest as we came to the only item missing: a campaign button (竞选徽章) which looks great on shirts, jackets, caps or bags and will stand out as people get into the campaign spirit.
The team was about to call our task done when I finally found the courage to speak up. “How about going to the television studio for the button ” I asked. “They have lots of politicians as guests.”
My team leader agreed and we made our way to the studio. I took a deep breath and headed into the hall. A young man looked up from his position behind a big desk.
“Can I help you ” he asked.
I explained why I was in need of a campaign button. “Please, would you happen to have one ”
He smiled and then searched around in his desk for a few minutes.
“Sorry, I don’t have one,” he said.
“Thanks for trying,” I said and turned away.
“Wait a minute,” he said. “Let me see if one of the staff might have one.”
A few minutes later, a figure came out. This was an icon of New Orleans television: Hap Glaudi. He was my favorite sportscaster (体育比赛解说员).
“Young lady, you are so lucky.” His voice sounded every bit as friendly and kind as he did on the air. “I have a campaign button from the previous year’s presidential election.”
He approached me and handed it to me. Feeling embarrassed, I asked in a low voice, “Can I really take it ”
“Of course you can! I’m serious!” he replied immediately and looked at me in the eye.
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。
I thanked him and left.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This experience has made a difference to me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I thanked him and left. When I brought the campaign button to the team, they whooped at my success. We ran back to the community center to check in. Our team won that night by one item. We had the only campaign button in the competition. My contribution got me “in” with the group. Over the next few weeks, I got along very well with the boys and girls there.
This experience has made a difference to me. Thanks to the two helpful people I met in the television studio, I’ve found the courage I once lacked to approach people ever since that day, for example, when having interviews or asking for donations. I’ve realized that as long as I treat people politely and respectfully, other people will probably respond favorably. In addition, I’ve also tried to follow their examples and help where I can.

The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than meat from animals.
Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown meat can also help out in other ways. Raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Polls (民意调查) have shown that many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown meat. Lots of people believe that it just sounds weird. But Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try the meat, “The most common response we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”
But right now, the meat is far more expensive than meat from animals. Even though the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply.
12. What can we know about lab-grown chicken meat
A. It is created from animal cells in a laboratory.
B. It is cheaper than the normal meat.
C. America is the first country to approve selling it.
D. Two companies are allowed to do research on it.
13. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The necessity of eating normal meat.
B. The process of creating lab-grown meat.
C. The disadvantages of raising animals for food.
D. The similarities between lab-grown meat and normal meat.
14. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Easy. B. Ordinary. C. Strange. D. Attractive.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Lab-grown Meat Is Outdated
B. What Exactly Is Lab-grown Meat
C. How Is the Lab-grown Chicken Made
D. Lab-grown Chicken Meat Is Coming

My parents took me to join the teen group at the community center last summer. Boys and girls from different schools were in the same group. That sounded scary to me because I was afraid of connecting with strangers. I was ready to run back to my hideout at the neighborhood library but my parents insisted.
The first meeting was an ice-breaker program. We were divided into teams, given our lists, and sent out into the neighborhood to find our target items. Time was running out on our quest as we came to the only item missing: a campaign button (竞选徽章) which looks great on shirts, jackets, caps or bags and will stand out as people get into the campaign spirit.
The team was about to call our task done when I finally found the courage to speak up. “How about going to the television studio for the button ” I asked. “They have lots of politicians as guests.”
My team leader agreed and we made our way to the studio. I took a deep breath and headed into the hall. A young man looked up from his position behind a big desk.
“Can I help you ” he asked.
I explained why I was in need of a campaign button. “Please, would you happen to have one ”
He smiled and then searched around in his desk for a few minutes.
“Sorry, I don’t have one,” he said.
“Thanks for trying,” I said and turned away.
“Wait a minute,” he said. “Let me see if one of the staff might have one.”
A few minutes later, a figure came out. This was an icon of New Orleans television: Hap Glaudi. He was my favorite sportscaster (体育比赛解说员).
“Young lady, you are so lucky.” His voice sounded every bit as friendly and kind as he did on the air. “I have a campaign button from the previous year’s presidential election.”
He approached me and handed it to me. Feeling embarrassed, I asked in a low voice, “Can I really take it ”
“Of course you can! I’m serious!” he replied immediately and looked at me in the eye.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

Want to see the world Each year, TIME magazine makes a list of the World’s Greatest Places, which is provided by our readers. They will take us from cities to wilderness, and from tiny villages to faraway islands. Here are some of the best ones.
Culture Trip
Rapa Nui is an island in the Pacific Ocean. It’s also known as Easter Island. It’s famous for the massive and mysterious sculptures(雕像) made by the Rapa Nui people, who arrived about 1,200 years ago. The spirit of Hotu Matu’a, their early king, is said to have become a sea turtle.
—By Johanna Read
Lively Spot
The Galápagos Islands are located off the coast of Ecuador in South America. They are some of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Recently, marine-life protections were expanded in the area, limiting fishing and cresting safe paths for animals to travel through.
—By Karen Catchpole
Ancient Past
Alentejo is a rural part of Portugal in Europe. It is covered with forests and olive groves. There are ancient cities, too. A museum in Estremoz shows off traditional tiles. In Esperanca, hikers can see eagles and vultures, plus 5,000-year-old cave paintings.
—By Robin Catalano
Bike It!
Bogotá is the capital of Colombia in South America. It’s the perfect place for a bike ride. The city has taken steps to reduce pollution. It has more than 350 miles of bike paths. The city also has a bike share program, which will provide bicycles that people with disabilities can use.

When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.
In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.”
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams.
4. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text
A. To call on people to prepare for disasters.
B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience.
C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast.
D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist.
5. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text
A. Climate change. B. People’s injury.
C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience.
6. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph
A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous.
7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
C
People who have trouble walking often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (轻便梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water or go for a swim. The Seatrac system can also help anyone else who has a hard time walking, including older people and pregnant women.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a sack (袋) of potatoes.
Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to get into the water. Mr. Fotiou worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell it.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar-powered. It doesn’t require outside power and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Seatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when the swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy and Latvia. TOBEA hopes to offer Seatrac in other countries soon.
The Seatrac service in Greece is being offered for free. The Greek government has helped pay for it, with local cities buying and managing the equipment. Greece’s government hopes that Seatrac will help attract more tourists to the country.
8. Who is Seatrac designed for
A. Older people who move freely.
B. Youths who like to swim in the sea.
C. Women who enjoy beach baths with their children.
D People who have trouble moving around on the beach.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The system. B. Potato. C. Ramp. D. Normal wheelchair.
10. What can we learn about the Seatrac system
A. It’s not easy to operate.
B. Users don’t have to worry about charging it.
C. People need to have a big cost to use it in Greece.
D. It has been available at more than one thousand beaches.
11. Why does the Greek government help pay for the Seatrac service
A. To improve the government’s image.
B. To promote the development of tourism.
C. To set up an organization for the disabled.
D. To support small and medium-sized local companies.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B
D
In late June, the US government agreed to allow two companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US the second country to approve lab-grown chicken.
Unlike normal chicken meat, lab-grown meat isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Instead, it’s a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab. So it is also called “cell-based” or “cultured” meat.
The process of creating lab-grown meat is completely different from the normal meat-raising process. The first cells come from live animals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow to look like normal meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes.

【答案】Hello everyone! I am happy to have the opportunity to share with you.
Last weekend, our school badminton club held an exciting and intense badminton competition. A large number of students actively participated in it and showcased their remarkable skills. The competition was filled with fierce battles but also maintained a friendly atmosphere.
I felt incredibly excited throughout the event. Not only did I enjoy the wonderful and thrilling games, but also I was deeply impressed by the spirit of sportsmanship displayed by my fellow students. We all respected each other, cheered for our opponents when they played well, and learned from our losses. It was truly a great and memorable experience that strengthened my passion for badminton and my sense of belonging to the club.
Thank you!

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。
My parents took me to join the teen group at the community center last summer. Boys and girls from different schools were in the same group. That sounded scary to me because I was afraid of connecting with strangers. I was ready to run back to my hideout at the neighborhood library, but my parents insisted.
The first meeting was an ice-breaker program. We were divided into teams, given our lists, and sent out into the neighborhood to find our target items. Time was running out on our quest as we came to the only item missing: a campaign button (竞选徽章) which looks great on shirts, jackets, caps or bags and will stand out as people get into the campaign spirit.
The team was about to call our task done when I finally found the courage to speak up. “How about going to the television studio for the button ” I asked. “They have lots of politicians as guests.”
My team leader agreed and we made our way to the studio. I took a deep breath and headed into the hall. A young man looked up from his position behind a big desk.
“Can I help you ” he asked.
I explained why I was in need of a campaign button. “Please, would you happen to have one ”
He smiled and then searched around in his desk for a few minutes.
“Sorry, I don’t have one,” he said.
“Thanks for trying,” I said and turned away.
“Wait a minute,” he said. “Let me see if one of the staff might have one.”
A few minutes later, a figure came out. This was an icon of New Orleans television: Hap Glaudi. He was my favorite sportscaster (体育比赛解说员).
“Young lady, you are so lucky.” His voice sounded every bit as friendly and kind as he did on the air. “I have a campaign button from the previous year’s presidential election.”
He approached me and handed it to me. Feeling embarrassed, I asked in a low voice, “Can I really take it ”
“Of course you can! I’m serious!” he replied immediately and looked at me in the eye.

I thanked him and left.

【答案】One possible version:
I thanked him and left. When I brought the campaign button to the team, they whooped at my success. We ran back to the community center to check in. Our team won that night by one item. We had the only campaign button in the competition. My contribution got me “in” with the group. Over the next few weeks, I got along very well with the boys and girls there.
This experience has made a difference to me. Thanks to the two helpful people I met in the television studio, I’ve found the courage I once lacked to approach people ever since that day, for example, when having interviews or asking for donations. I’ve realized that as long as I treat people politely and respectfully, other people will probably respond favorably. In addition, I’ve also tried to follow their examples and help where I can.
