I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
24. How did the author feel in the early years of school

25. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.

C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
27. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.

After 11 years，China has finally completed its Tiangong space station with the docking (对接) its Mengtian lab module, establishing the Tiangong as the second operational space station apart from the US-led, multinational International Space Station (ISS).
On November 1, the Mengtian lab module, the third and final part of its Tiangong space station docked with the core Tianhe module 13 hours after being launched. Next, the Tianhe and Mengtian modules will dock with the Wentian lab module, completing Tiangong’s T-shaped basic structure. The 17.88-meter-long, 23-ton Mengtian module is the heaviest operational single-cabin active spacecraft in orbit. Mengtian consists of a workcabin, a cargo airlock cabin, a payload cabin and resource cabin. In addition, it has eight scientific experiment cabinets and 37 extravehicul. installation options, enabling more in-cabin and out-cabin experiments in a microgravity environment Mengtian also carries the world’s first space atomic clock system, consisting of a hydrogen clock, rubidium clock and an optical clock. It is the world’s most accurate time and frequency system, but to support fundamental physics research.
One of the more ambitious aims of China’s space program is to position the country as a leading provider of space-based international public goods and services, such as planetary defense. Last month, Asia Times reported about China’s plans to conduct its first asteroid deflection test in 2025 or 2026. China has also taken pioneering steps in Marsexploration. A good example is the completion of China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission, which has provided medium and high-resolution photos of the planet’s surface. China has also stated that it is willing to share scientific data from its Tianwen-l mission at an appropriate time and that scientists are welcome to apply for research over the data.
Moreover, China has also announced plans to send men to the moon, paving the potential way for its future settlement and economic use. And China and Russia plan to establish a permanent moon base by 2027. The proposed permanent moon base, the International Lunar Research Station(ILRS), is seen as an experimental complex designed for multiple scientific activities.
The Tiangong is open to all UN member states,with nine projects involving 17 countries including Kenya, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and Peru, alongside 23 entities selected among the first batch of scientific experiments to be carried on board the station. Reflecting China’s open-door space policy, the Tiangong is designed to be “inclusive” and adaptable for foreign astronauts.
28. What can we infer about the Mengtian module according to the text
A. It has docked with the Wentian lab module.
B. It is an significant part of Tiangong space station.
C. It is made up of four scientific experiment cabins.
D. It is heavier than all the other single-cabin spaceships.
29. Why did the author mention “China’s plan” in paragraph 4
A. To make a prediction. B. To present a fact.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To explain a rule.
30. How will China explore the moon
A. By sending men to the settlement of the moon.
B. By providing clear photos of the planet’s surface.
C. By sharing scientific data from its Tianwen-1 mission.
D. By setting up a moon base for multiple scientific activities.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. International Space Station Suffers Wear and Tear
B. Side by Side, China Works with UN Member States
C. Step by Step, China Finds Its Footing in Outer Space
D. Tiangong Space Station Is Established Little by Little
D
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high- tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件) ,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go- ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off- board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built- in power source, so that it might someday perform data- gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect- scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead.” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day- to- day basis.”
32. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.
A. they had no model in their mind B. they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no ready- made components D. they could not assemble the components
33. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly ________.
A. consists of a flight device and a control system
B. has been put into wide application
C. can collect information from many sources
D. can just fly in limited areas at the present time
34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage
A. The robotic fly er is designed to learn about insects.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
35. What is Wood’s attitude towards the study of the robotic flyer
A. Critical B. Anxious C. Positive D. Negative

【答案】范文
The Athlete I Admire Most
As we all know, a number of excellent athletes performed well in the Paris 2024 Olympics. The athletes I admire most is Quan Hongchan, the women’s 10m diving champion.
Born in an ordinary family, she trained so hard every day that she made a remarkable achievement. Quan received perfect 10s by all seven judges on her way to winning the gold medal. She had such astonishing dives, almost non-existent splashing! When watching her amazing performance, I couldn’t help applauding her, feeling over the moon. Young as she is, she deserves our respect.
Quan Hongchan’s achievements can be said to be the result of efforts. Just as the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. Quan sets a good example for us senior high school students. I’m determined to study harder than before and carry forward the spirit of the Olympics: faster, higher and stronger.

I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
24. How did the author feel in the early years of school
A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.
25. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.

C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
27. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.

After 11 years，China has finally completed its Tiangong space station with the docking (对接) its Mengtian lab module, establishing the Tiangong as the second operational space station apart from the US-led, multinational International Space Station (ISS).
On November 1, the Mengtian lab module, the third and final part of its Tiangong space station docked with the core Tianhe module 13 hours after being launched. Next, the Tianhe and Mengtian modules will dock with the Wentian lab module, completing Tiangong’s T-shaped basic structure. The 17.88-meter-long, 23-ton Mengtian module is the heaviest operational single-cabin active spacecraft in orbit. Mengtian consists of a workcabin, a cargo airlock cabin, a payload cabin and resource cabin. In addition, it has eight scientific experiment cabinets and 37 extravehicul. installation options, enabling more in-cabin and out-cabin experiments in a microgravity environment Mengtian also carries the world’s first space atomic clock system, consisting of a hydrogen clock, rubidium clock and an optical clock. It is the world’s most accurate time and frequency system, but to support fundamental physics research.
One of the more ambitious aims of China’s space program is to position the country as a leading provider of space-based international public goods and services, such as planetary defense. Last month, Asia Times reported about China’s plans to conduct its first asteroid deflection test in 2025 or 2026. China has also taken pioneering steps in Marsexploration. A good example is the completion of China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission, which has provided medium and high-resolution photos of the planet’s surface. China has also stated that it is willing to share scientific data from its Tianwen-l mission at an appropriate time and that scientists are welcome to apply for research over the data.
Moreover, China has also announced plans to send men to the moon, paving the potential way for its future settlement and economic use. And China and Russia plan to establish a permanent moon base by 2027. The proposed permanent moon base, the International Lunar Research Station(ILRS), is seen as an experimental complex designed for multiple scientific activities.
The Tiangong is open to all UN member states,with nine projects involving 17 countries including Kenya, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and Peru, alongside 23 entities selected among the first batch of scientific experiments to be carried on board the station. Reflecting China’s open-door space policy, the Tiangong is designed to be “inclusive” and adaptable for foreign astronauts.
28. What can we infer about the Mengtian module according to the text
A. It has docked with the Wentian lab module.
B. It is an significant part of Tiangong space station.
C. It is made up of four scientific experiment cabins.
D. It is heavier than all the other single-cabin spaceships.
29. Why did the author mention “China’s plan” in paragraph 4
A. To make a prediction. B. To present a fact.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To explain a rule.
30. How will China explore the moon
A. By sending men to the settlement of the moon.
B. By providing clear photos of the planet’s surface.
C. By sharing scientific data from its Tianwen-1 mission.
D. By setting up a moon base for multiple scientific activities.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. International Space Station Suffers Wear and Tear
B. Side by Side, China Works with UN Member States
C. Step by Step, China Finds Its Footing in Outer Space
D. Tiangong Space Station Is Established Little by Little
D
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high- tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件) ,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go- ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off- board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built- in power source, so that it might someday perform data- gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect- scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead.” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day- to- day basis.”
32. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.
A. they had no model in their mind B. they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no ready- made components D. they could not assemble the components
33. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly ________.
A. consists of a flight device and a control system
B. has been put into wide application
C. can collect information from many sources
D. can just fly in limited areas at the present time
34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage
A. The robotic fly er is designed to learn about insects.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
35. What is Wood’s attitude towards the study of the robotic flyer
A. Critical B. Anxious C. Positive D. Negative

China has also stated that it is willing to share scientific data from its Tianwen-l mission at an appropriate time and that scientists are welcome to apply for research over the data.
Moreover, China has also announced plans to send men to the moon, paving the potential way for its future settlement and economic use. And China and Russia plan to establish a permanent moon base by 2027. The proposed permanent moon base, the International Lunar Research Station(ILRS), is seen as an experimental complex designed for multiple scientific activities.
The Tiangong is open to all UN member states,with nine projects involving 17 countries including Kenya, Russia, Mexico, Japan, and Peru, alongside 23 entities selected among the first batch of scientific experiments to be carried on board the station. Reflecting China’s open-door space policy, the Tiangong is designed to be “inclusive” and adaptable for foreign astronauts.

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high- tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件) ,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go- ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off- board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built- in power source, so that it might someday perform data- gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect- scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead.” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day- to- day basis.”
32. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________.
A. they had no model in their mind B. they did not have sufficient time
C. they had no ready- made components D. they could not assemble the components
33. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly ________.
A. consists of a flight device and a control system
B. has been put into wide application
C. can collect information from many sources
D. can just fly in limited areas at the present time
34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage
A. The robotic fly er is designed to learn about insects.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
35. What is Wood’s attitude towards the study of the robotic flyer
A. Critical B. Anxious C. Positive D. Negative
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. C

The Athlete I Admire Most
As we all know, a number of excellent athletes performed well in the Paris 2024 Olympics. The athletes I admire most is Quan Hongchan, the women’s 10m diving champion.
Born in an ordinary family, she trained so hard every day that she made a remarkable achievement. Quan received perfect 10s by all seven judges on her way to winning the gold medal. She had such astonishing dives, almost non-existent splashing! When watching her amazing performance, I couldn’t help applauding her, feeling over the moon. Young as she is, she deserves our respect.
