Here are some of London’s best parks for you to explore.
St. James’s Park
At 23 hectares (公顷), St. James’s is the second-smallest of the eight Royal Parks after The Green Park. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, with brightly-colored flower beds, a lovely lake and a fountain. It is famous for its pelicans (鹈鹕), which were introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles Ⅱ.
Hyde Park
From hunting to ice-skating, central London’s largest green space really has seen it all. Today Hyde Park is a center of activity throughout the year. If you’re with kids, visit the nearby Princess Diana Playground, where unaccompanied adults are turned away at the gate. The summer season means festivals, with a large section of the park used for open-air concerts.
Regent’s Park
As one of the largest park of central London, Regen’s Park is also one of the loveliest green spaces. Among its many attractions are London Zoo, Regent's Canal, a boating lake, and sports pitches. Performances take place here in an open-air theater during summer. To the north of Regent’s Park is Primrose Hill, a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or picnic, offering extraordinary views over the city skyline.
Hampstead Heath
With its rolling woodlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife, Hampstead Heath feels far away from the city. Swimmers head to the three bathing ponds, two of which are open year round. Hampstead Heath is home to a variety of butterflies and bird species. This is a wonderful place for a walk, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across London.
21.Which is the smallest of the eight Royal Parks
A.St. James’s Park. B.Regent’s Park.
C.The Green Park. D.Hyde Park.
22.What do Hyde Park and Regent’s Park have in common
A.Summer performances. B.Ice-skating.
C.Boating races. D.Hunting.
23.What can visitors do in Hampstead Heath
A.Enjoy concerts. B.Meet Princess Diana.

Harvey Sutton spent nearly seven months hiking with his parents, walking the thousands of kilometers that make up the complete Appalachian Trail. Harvey, or “little man”, was just 4 years old when he started, and celebrated his 5th birthday on the trail.
The Appalachian Trail, which many people call simply the “AT”, is a 3,530-kilometer hiking trail that runs through the forests of the Appalachian Mountains and passes through 14 states in all. Hiking the Appalachian Tran is tough, and only one out of every four hikers completes all the sections of the trail. The people who hike it must carry everything they need with them, including tents, sleeping bags and other supplies, along with food and water.
Harvey’s parents, Josh and Cassie Sutton, have been hiking with Harvey since he was two years old. They made reasonable arrangements, and especially prepared him for hiking the AT by starting out with lots of shorter walks and hikes. It took Harvey and his family 209 days to complete the entire AT. Every day the family would wake up around 5:30 in the morning. They would have breakfast and pack up their tents and sleeping bags before setting off through the woods. In general, the family hiked about 16 kilometers a day before stopping to set up camp again.
During his days on the AT, Harvey liked to use his imagination. This helped him walk more quickly and have fun while he hiked. He played games with his mom and dad and other hikers, Kart Sakas hiked with the Suttons through seven states. Mr. Sakas said Harvey didn’t seem to get tired. When other hikers were worn out at the end of the day, Harvey was still eager for a game.
Completing the AT taught Harvey and his parents how to work as a team and how to take on challenges together. Harvey has now turned 5 and has started kindergarten. But at some point in the future, he says, “I want to hike the AT again!”
24.What can we learn about hiking on the AT
A.It takes every hiker 7 months to finish it. B.Hikers like to celebrate their birthdays on it.
C.Only a quarter of hikers finish the whole trail.D.Hikers spend lots of money hiking on it.
25.What made the Suttons’ hiking successful
A.Using their imagination. B.Being full of energy.
C.Managing time well. D.Having good preparation.
26.What kind of person is Harvey Sutton
A.Energetic and team-spirited. B.Imaginative and funny.
C.Naughty and tough. D.Considerate and brave.
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A.The AT—A Challenging Trail B.Why Do People Like Hiking
C.Hiking—Suttons’ Hobby D.The Little Man’s 209 Hiking Days
C
It’s said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it. In his own words, it allowed him to “hear through his teeth”.
Robert Friedman, who was in the business of buying and selling pianos, recently showed off marks on a piano that was once owned by Edison. The piano had groups of small marks above the keyboard. He was surprised by the tooth marks left by the inventor of the phonograph(留声机) , a music playing device.
Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. Edison ever asked for the piano at the lowest price. When he bought the piano and put it in the lab, he was experimenting with sound recording. He owned the instrument for many years, so it was possibly used in early recordings.
There aren’t photographs of Edison biting this piano. But he was thought to bite into phonographs and pianos to help him experience music as his hearing worsened. His daughter once remembered that a guest cried on the spot at the sight of Edison biting into a piano as someone played it.
Friedman calls himself the piano hunter. He finds and buys the famous pianos from people and then sells them, usually to dealers. But this piano is more complex. He is now looking for the right home for the instrument. Friedman says that he believes that it belongs to someplace where many people can see it. Friedman does not want it to go back into private hands because of its connection to Edison. He has to find a historical group that will buy the piano, which he is offering to sell for what it cost him.
28.What was Edison’s purpose in biting the piano
A.To record his day. B.To enjoy its music.
C.To express his anger. D.To mark its importance.
29.Why did Edison buy the piano
A.To perform music. B.To decorate his lab.
C.To test the phonograph’s recording. D.To sell it at a very higher price later.
30.How did the guest feel about Edison’s behavior
A.Impressed.B.Pleased. C.Puzzled. D.Embarrassed.
31.What will Friedman do with the piano
A.Give it away. B.Make a fortune.
C.Sell it at the original price. D.Keep it somewhere for himself.

Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency(透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology.
32. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes
A.736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded.
B.NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways.
C.The total number of car crashes is extremely small.
D.The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics.
33. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A.They are supported by comprehensive data.
B.They are based on limited driving environment.
C.They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers.
D.They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA.
34. What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A.It is ill-received. B.It is well-developed.
C.It needs the driver to stay focused. D.It reduces the accidents greatly.
35. Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A.Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars
B.Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C.The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D.Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving

All living things need clean, fresh water to survive. Ninety-seven percent of the water on earth is in the ocean. The salt in the ocean water makes it unusable for drinking. Another two percent is frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the Earth. 36 There are many factors that affect the amount of water available for you. Where you live, the amount of rain that falls, and how water is collected and reserved all affect the amount of cool, clear water available.
One factor that we can’t change is where it will rain. The amount of rain an area receives affects the amount of water available for use. Some major cities are located in areas where they can get water from the ground. 37 Those places with no water readily available must pipe water in from far away.
According to a study done by the state of California, the average person uses over one hundred gallons of water per day. Water is used for drinking, taking a shower or bath, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning dishes, doing laundry, and flushing toilets. 38
No matter where you live, there are many ways you can help conserve water. Today, we have many helpful tools to help us save water. There are low-flow shower heads and faucets(水龙头), dishwashers and washing machines that use up to 50% less water. 39
There are many other ways you can help. 40 Take a shower rather than a bath. It’s also important to fix leaky faucets. If you find one, let your parents know. A good way to have cool water available all the time is to keep a pitcher in the fridge. This way you won’t have to wait for the water in the pipes to bring you colder water to drink. Only run your clothes washer and dishwasher when they are full. This can save hundreds of gallons of water a year.
All of these will help to conserve water. Leaning to use it wisely will ensure that it will always be available. So, make a fuss and conserve water. It’s worth it!
A.Using water wisely is important.
B.Water is an important natural resource.
C.Don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth.
D.Other areas use surface water from lakes, rivers, or streams.
E.This leaves one percent of the water on Earth available for us to use.
F.Installing these items in your home is the first line of defense against wasting water.
G.Wherever we live, we must be careful with the polluted water we have in our part of the world.

Generous billionaires are not hard to come by, but it is definitely a challenge to find a billionaire who spends all his fortune on charity just to end up broke. This is 41 what happened to “former” American billionaire Charles Feeney.
Feeney, who grew up in a poor neighborhood of New Jersey, is a 42 at finding business opportunities. Since childhood, he would take any job to make a few cents for his family-jobs like 43 umbrellas in summer and selling Christmas cards in winter. In his college years at Cornell University, he sold home-made sandwiches to other students and is still 44 there as the Sandwich Man. Then, in the 1960s, Feeney established airport retailer Duty Free Shoppers (DFS), which helped him reach his billionaire 45 by the 1980s. However, Feeney never felt 46 with the lifestyle of the wealthy. He lived 47 , and often thought of what to do with all the money he made.
Influenced by his own experience, Feeney decided to give away all his money to those in need in his lifetime. In 1984, the then 53-year-old Feeney 48 everything-his DFS shares and the various businesses and 49 he had acquired worldwide-to Atlantic Philanthropies, a charity 50 he established. In the following decades, Feeney donated through the organization more than $8 billion anonymously, to charities, universities, human rights 51 , and foundations worldwide. Such incredible secret generosity 52 him the title “James Bond of Philanthropy” from Forbes magazine.
53 the idea of “Giving while Living”, Feeney is a 54 model for many famous billionaires today, including Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. He encourages people to donate at least half their fortunes before death. In September 2020, Feeney’s go-for-broke mission was 55 , and he now lives happily with his wife on a pension (养老金) in a modest apartment in San Francisco.

My sister-in-law Carol said she’d already picked out a kitten for me. I agreed to go with her… just to look. I made no promise to take one home. After all, only two months had passed since I lost my beloved calico cat, Mandi. Maybe I needed to be pet-free for a while.
When we got there, three of the four kittens remained in the litter. Carol picked up one and handed it to me. The beautiful face and white fur on the right side of her nose reminded me of a clown-like mask. How could I resist Then another kitten, with an evenly balanced white face, jumped into my lap and purred.
Driving home in my British sports car proved difficult with two mischievous kittens. One clung to my left arm and shoulder, watching the fast-moving scenery outside. The other paced back and forth from my lap to the passenger’s seat, making it hard for me to shift gears. Both mewed in a loud duet(二重奏) of protest. Of course, I hadn’t brought a cage. I had not planned to take home a kitten — or two.
The clown-like-masked female earned the name Squeakette with her tiny voice squeaking about each new discovery as she explored her new home. The male, lacking only a black tie in his formal clothes, took the name Sebastian for my favorite composer, Johann Sebastian Bach.
A few weeks later, a neighbor helped me carry down my six-foot artificial Christmas tree from the attic(阁楼). I thanked him with a batch of cookies, and then set up the tree in the comer of my living room.
Sebastian and Squeakette knocked it down before I opened the box of decorations. After setting it upright, I straightened the few bent wire branches back into place. As I checked for any other damage, a quick flash of black-and-white fur passed by me. Up they went, branch by branch. The tree danced around as the two kittens took turns climbing it together. Sebastian made it to the top a moment ahead of Squeakette.

【听力材料】M: If this condition worsens, I must see a doctor. It’s starting to affect my tennis game.
W: Is your elbow hurting again, Trevor
M: My coach already found a treatment for all my body pains. Now, I’m just dealing with getting a good rest at night.
W: Difficulty sleeping is often a short-term issue that affects many people at some point in their lives. But you’ve never mentioned it in all the years we played mixed doubles together.
M: Well, it’s a recent issue. I started university over three years ago, but I registered for more difficult classes at the beginning of this school year — that’s when this problem began.
W: I see. Many people have trouble relaxing at the end of a busy day, but a few lifestyle changes can make a world of difference.
M: Like what

W: Great. Please, let me know how this goes.

【听力材料】
Hi, everyone. It’s nice to see you all back at school. I’m sharing my last story because it’s a challenging memory. We’re all supposed to share stories about our school break from June to August, but my story is about only one moment from those months.
To provide some background, my family heads for the coast whenever we can leave the city. We barely stop at any lakes, parks, or mountain towns along the way because we love our beach house so much. This August, we were celebrating my uncle’s retirement. My parents cooked, my sister decorated, and I looked after our youngest cousins — caring for all these little ones is my specialty.
We were enjoying a wonderful barbecue when our youngest cousin suddenly went missing. Everyone panicked (惊慌失措). Then, I noticed him struggling in the water and jumped in after him. I was able to save him eventually, but only because I reacted calmly and quickly. By telling this story, I want to let all my friends here be aware of the hidden danger of the ocean, and whenever you face an emergency, just try to stay calm and think about any possible solutions. Do not hesitate to offer help if you can.

C
【答案】28.B 29.C 30.A 31.C
【解析】28.细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it.

Another two percent is frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the Earth.(所有生物都需要干净、新鲜的水才能生存。地球上97%的水都在海洋中。海水中的盐分使它不能饮用。另外2%被冻结在地球上的冰帽和冰川中。)”和下文的“There are many factors that affect the amount of water available for you. Where you live, the amount of rain that falls, and how water is collected and reserved all affect the amount of cool, clear water available.(有很多因素会影响你能得到的水。你居住的地方，降雨量，以及水的收集和储存方式都会影响到凉爽、清澈的水的数量。)”可知，E项(这使得地球上只有1%的水可供我们使用。)承接上文，说明了人类可以使用的水并不多，下文指出在这1%的水中还有许多因素影响人们可用的水。故选E项。

Water is used for drinking, taking a shower or bath, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning dishes, doing laundry, and flushing toilets. (根据加利福尼亚州的一项研究，平均每人每天使用超过100加仑的水。水用于饮用、淋浴或洗澡、刷牙、洗手、洗碗、洗衣服和冲厕所。)”可知，该州的人均用水量是比较大的，因此A项(合理地用水是很重要的。)承接上文，说明了，合理用水的必要性。故选A项。
39.根据上文的“No matter where you live, there are many ways you can help conserve water. Today, we have many helpful tools to help us save water. There are low-flow shower heads and faucets, dishwashers and washing machines that use up to 50% less water. (无论你住在哪里，都有很多方法可以帮助节约用水。今天，我们有许多有用的工具来帮助我们节约用水。有低流量的淋浴喷头和水龙头，洗碗机和洗衣机的用水量最多可减少50%。)”可知，F项(在家里安装这些设备是防止浪费水的第一道防线。)承接上文，强调安装上文提到的节约用水设备的必要性。故选F项。
40.根据上文的“There are many other ways you can help. (还有很多其他的方法你可以帮助节约用水。)”和下文的“Take a shower rather than a bath. It’s also important to fix leaky faucets. If you find one, let your parents know. A good way to have cool water available all the time is to keep a pitcher in the fridge. This way you won’t have to wait for the water in the pipes to bring you colder water to drink. Only run your clothes washer and dishwasher when they are full. This can save hundreds of gallons of water a year.(用淋浴代替泡澡。修理漏水的水龙头也很重要。如果你找到了，告诉你的父母。让冷水随时可用的一个好方法是在冰箱里放一个水罐。这样你就不用等水管里的水给你带来更冷的水喝了。洗衣机和洗碗机满了的时候再开动。这样每年可以节省数百加仑的水。 )”可知，C项(刷牙的时候不要让水开着。)承接上文，举例说明了一种节约用水的方法，下文继续举例说明节约用水的方法。故选C项。

He lunged at me from the top, paws stretched out like wings. Seeing what he was doing, I reached out my hands quickly, uttering, “Sebastian, come here”. Just then, he jumped into my arms. I felt a big, warm kitty sniffing my hand, the familiar purrs vibrating through my fingertips. Seeing her brother’s bold move, Squeakette jumped after him. I put them in my lap. They rubbed their soft heads against my palm, seeking more affection. With each stroke, their body were at ease in my presence. After a while, the two kittens took turns climbing it together again.
Sensing their interest, I found a smaller Christmas tree for them. This Christmas tree was too tall for them, who were still young kittens. I was afraid that they could hurt themselves if they jumped from high places. Later, this smaller Christmas tree became their favorite toy and they jumped up and down many times a day. Seeing them play happily, I heard a voice in my heart echoing “it is right to take them home.” They are my little miracle which shows me that love knows no boundaries.

Here are some of London’s best parks for you to explore.
St. James’s Park
At 23 hectares (公顷), St. James’s is the second-smallest of the eight Royal Parks after The Green Park. But what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty, with brightly-colored flower beds, a lovely lake and a fountain. It is famous for its pelicans (鹈鹕), which were introduced to the park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles Ⅱ.
Hyde Park
From hunting to ice-skating, central London’s largest green space really has seen it all. Today Hyde Park is a center of activity throughout the year. If you’re with kids, visit the nearby Princess Diana Playground, where unaccompanied adults are turned away at the gate. The summer season means festivals, with a large section of the park used for open-air concerts.
Regent’s Park
As one of the largest park of central London, Regen’s Park is also one of the loveliest green spaces. Among its many attractions are London Zoo, Regent's Canal, a boating lake, and sports pitches. Performances take place here in an open-air theater during summer. To the north of Regent’s Park is Primrose Hill, a lovely spot for a relaxing walk or picnic, offering extraordinary views over the city skyline.
Hampstead Heath
With its rolling woodlands, grasslands and abundant wildlife, Hampstead Heath feels far away from the city. Swimmers head to the three bathing ponds, two of which are open year round. Hampstead Heath is home to a variety of butterflies and bird species. This is a wonderful place for a walk, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across London.
21.Which is the smallest of the eight Royal Parks
A.St. James’s Park. B.Regent’s Park.
C.The Green Park. D.Hyde Park.
22.What do Hyde Park and Regent’s Park have in common
A.Summer performances. B.Ice-skating.
C.Boating races. D.Hunting.
23.What can visitors do in Hampstead Heath
A.Enjoy concerts. B.Meet Princess Diana.
C.Go for a swim. D.Visit Regent’s Canal.

Harvey Sutton spent nearly seven months hiking with his parents, walking the thousands of kilometers that make up the complete Appalachian Trail. Harvey, or “little man”, was just 4 years old when he started, and celebrated his 5th birthday on the trail.
The Appalachian Trail, which many people call simply the “AT”, is a 3,530-kilometer hiking trail that runs through the forests of the Appalachian Mountains and passes through 14 states in all. Hiking the Appalachian Tran is tough, and only one out of every four hikers completes all the sections of the trail. The people who hike it must carry everything they need with them, including tents, sleeping bags and other supplies, along with food and water.
Harvey’s parents, Josh and Cassie Sutton, have been hiking with Harvey since he was two years old. They made reasonable arrangements, and especially prepared him for hiking the AT by starting out with lots of shorter walks and hikes. It took Harvey and his family 209 days to complete the entire AT. Every day the family would wake up around 5:30 in the morning. They would have breakfast and pack up their tents and sleeping bags before setting off through the woods. In general, the family hiked about 16 kilometers a day before stopping to set up camp again.
During his days on the AT, Harvey liked to use his imagination. This helped him walk more quickly and have fun while he hiked. He played games with his mom and dad and other hikers, Kart Sakas hiked with the Suttons through seven states. Mr. Sakas said Harvey didn’t seem to get tired. When other hikers were worn out at the end of the day, Harvey was still eager for a game.
Completing the AT taught Harvey and his parents how to work as a team and how to take on challenges together. Harvey has now turned 5 and has started kindergarten. But at some point in the future, he says, “I want to hike the AT again!”
24.What can we learn about hiking on the AT
A.It takes every hiker 7 months to finish it. B.Hikers like to celebrate their birthdays on it.
C.Only a quarter of hikers finish the whole trail.D.Hikers spend lots of money hiking on it.
25.What made the Suttons’ hiking successful
A.Using their imagination. B.Being full of energy.
C.Managing time well. D.Having good preparation.
26.What kind of person is Harvey Sutton
A.Energetic and team-spirited. B.Imaginative and funny.
C.Naughty and tough. D.Considerate and brave.
27.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A.The AT—A Challenging Trail B.Why Do People Like Hiking
C.Hiking—Suttons’ Hobby D.The Little Man’s 209 Hiking Days
C
It’s said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it. In his own words, it allowed him to “hear through his teeth”.
Robert Friedman, who was in the business of buying and selling pianos, recently showed off marks on a piano that was once owned by Edison. The piano had groups of small marks above the keyboard. He was surprised by the tooth marks left by the inventor of the phonograph(留声机) , a music playing device.
Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. Edison ever asked for the piano at the lowest price. When he bought the piano and put it in the lab, he was experimenting with sound recording. He owned the instrument for many years, so it was possibly used in early recordings.
There aren’t photographs of Edison biting this piano. But he was thought to bite into phonographs and pianos to help him experience music as his hearing worsened. His daughter once remembered that a guest cried on the spot at the sight of Edison biting into a piano as someone played it.
Friedman calls himself the piano hunter. He finds and buys the famous pianos from people and then sells them, usually to dealers. But this piano is more complex. He is now looking for the right home for the instrument. Friedman says that he believes that it belongs to someplace where many people can see it. Friedman does not want it to go back into private hands because of its connection to Edison. He has to find a historical group that will buy the piano, which he is offering to sell for what it cost him.
28.What was Edison’s purpose in biting the piano
A.To record his day. B.To enjoy its music.
C.To express his anger. D.To mark its importance.
29.Why did Edison buy the piano
A.To perform music. B.To decorate his lab.
C.To test the phonograph’s recording. D.To sell it at a very higher price later.
30.How did the guest feel about Edison’s behavior
A.Impressed.B.Pleased. C.Puzzled. D.Embarrassed.
31.What will Friedman do with the piano
A.Give it away. B.Make a fortune.
C.Sell it at the original price. D.Keep it somewhere for himself.

Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency(透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology.
32. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes
A.736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded.
B.NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways.
C.The total number of car crashes is extremely small.
D.The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics.
33. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A.They are supported by comprehensive data.
B.They are based on limited driving environment.
C.They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers.
D.They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA.
34. What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A.It is ill-received. B.It is well-developed.
C.It needs the driver to stay focused. D.It reduces the accidents greatly.
35. Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A.Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars
B.Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C.The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D.Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving

All living things need clean, fresh water to survive. Ninety-seven percent of the water on earth is in the ocean. The salt in the ocean water makes it unusable for drinking. Another two percent is frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the Earth. 36 There are many factors that affect the amount of water available for you. Where you live, the amount of rain that falls, and how water is collected and reserved all affect the amount of cool, clear water available.
One factor that we can’t change is where it will rain. The amount of rain an area receives affects the amount of water available for use. Some major cities are located in areas where they can get water from the ground. 37 Those places with no water readily available must pipe water in from far away.
According to a study done by the state of California, the average person uses over one hundred gallons of water per day. Water is used for drinking, taking a shower or bath, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning dishes, doing laundry, and flushing toilets. 38
No matter where you live, there are many ways you can help conserve water. Today, we have many helpful tools to help us save water. There are low-flow shower heads and faucets(水龙头), dishwashers and washing machines that use up to 50% less water. 39
There are many other ways you can help. 40 Take a shower rather than a bath. It’s also important to fix leaky faucets. If you find one, let your parents know. A good way to have cool water available all the time is to keep a pitcher in the fridge. This way you won’t have to wait for the water in the pipes to bring you colder water to drink. Only run your clothes washer and dishwasher when they are full. This can save hundreds of gallons of water a year.
All of these will help to conserve water. Leaning to use it wisely will ensure that it will always be available. So, make a fuss and conserve water. It’s worth it!
A.Using water wisely is important.
B.Water is an important natural resource.
C.Don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth.
D.Other areas use surface water from lakes, rivers, or streams.
E.This leaves one percent of the water on Earth available for us to use.
F.Installing these items in your home is the first line of defense against wasting water.
G.Wherever we live, we must be careful with the polluted water we have in our part of the world.

Generous billionaires are not hard to come by, but it is definitely a challenge to find a billionaire who spends all his fortune on charity just to end up broke. This is 41 what happened to “former” American billionaire Charles Feeney.
Feeney, who grew up in a poor neighborhood of New Jersey, is a 42 at finding business opportunities. Since childhood, he would take any job to make a few cents for his family-jobs like 43 umbrellas in summer and selling Christmas cards in winter. In his college years at Cornell University, he sold home-made sandwiches to other students and is still 44 there as the Sandwich Man. Then, in the 1960s, Feeney established airport retailer Duty Free Shoppers (DFS), which helped him reach his billionaire 45 by the 1980s. However, Feeney never felt 46 with the lifestyle of the wealthy. He lived 47 , and often thought of what to do with all the money he made.
Influenced by his own experience, Feeney decided to give away all his money to those in need in his lifetime. In 1984, the then 53-year-old Feeney 48 everything-his DFS shares and the various businesses and 49 he had acquired worldwide-to Atlantic Philanthropies, a charity 50 he established. In the following decades, Feeney donated through the organization more than $8 billion anonymously, to charities, universities, human rights 51 , and foundations worldwide. Such incredible secret generosity 52 him the title “James Bond of Philanthropy” from Forbes magazine.
53 the idea of “Giving while Living”, Feeney is a 54 model for many famous billionaires today, including Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. He encourages people to donate at least half their fortunes before death. In September 2020, Feeney’s go-for-broke mission was 55 , and he now lives happily with his wife on a pension (养老金) in a modest apartment in San Francisco.

My sister-in-law Carol said she’d already picked out a kitten for me. I agreed to go with her… just to look. I made no promise to take one home. After all, only two months had passed since I lost my beloved calico cat, Mandi. Maybe I needed to be pet-free for a while.
When we got there, three of the four kittens remained in the litter. Carol picked up one and handed it to me. The beautiful face and white fur on the right side of her nose reminded me of a clown-like mask. How could I resist Then another kitten, with an evenly balanced white face, jumped into my lap and purred.
Driving home in my British sports car proved difficult with two mischievous kittens. One clung to my left arm and shoulder, watching the fast-moving scenery outside. The other paced back and forth from my lap to the passenger’s seat, making it hard for me to shift gears. Both mewed in a loud duet(二重奏) of protest. Of course, I hadn’t brought a cage. I had not planned to take home a kitten — or two.
The clown-like-masked female earned the name Squeakette with her tiny voice squeaking about each new discovery as she explored her new home. The male, lacking only a black tie in his formal clothes, took the name Sebastian for my favorite composer, Johann Sebastian Bach.
A few weeks later, a neighbor helped me carry down my six-foot artificial Christmas tree from the attic(阁楼). I thanked him with a batch of cookies, and then set up the tree in the comer of my living room.
Sebastian and Squeakette knocked it down before I opened the box of decorations. After setting it upright, I straightened the few bent wire branches back into place. As I checked for any other damage, a quick flash of black-and-white fur passed by me. Up they went, branch by branch. The tree danced around as the two kittens took turns climbing it together. Sebastian made it to the top a moment ahead of Squeakette.

M: Great. This hike was the reason I came to Alaska.
W: Perfect. I’ve done it several times with national park leaders. Unfortunately, I can’t come tomorrow as I have a conference with my team members. But I’ll arrange for another local guide from our agency to join you.
M: OK. Thank you. Now, let’s get down to the details.

【听力材料】M: If this condition worsens, I must see a doctor. It’s starting to affect my tennis game.
W: Is your elbow hurting again, Trevor
M: My coach already found a treatment for all my body pains. Now, I’m just dealing with getting a good rest at night.
W: Difficulty sleeping is often a short-term issue that affects many people at some point in their lives. But you’ve never mentioned it in all the years we played mixed doubles together.
M: Well, it’s a recent issue. I started university over three years ago, but I registered for more difficult classes at the beginning of this school year — that’s when this problem began.
W: I see. Many people have trouble relaxing at the end of a busy day, but a few lifestyle changes can make a world of difference.
M: Like what
W: Limiting coffee, turning down your screens’ blue light, and not using your phone or eating an hour before bed can all help improve sleep quality.

W: Great. Please, let me know how this goes.

【听力材料】
Hi, everyone. It’s nice to see you all back at school. I’m sharing my last story because it’s a challenging memory. We’re all supposed to share stories about our school break from June to August, but my story is about only one moment from those months.
To provide some background, my family heads for the coast whenever we can leave the city. We barely stop at any lakes, parks, or mountain towns along the way because we love our beach house so much. This August, we were celebrating my uncle’s retirement. My parents cooked, my sister decorated, and I looked after our youngest cousins — caring for all these little ones is my specialty.
We were enjoying a wonderful barbecue when our youngest cousin suddenly went missing. Everyone panicked (惊慌失措). Then, I noticed him struggling in the water and jumped in after him. I was able to save him eventually, but only because I reacted calmly and quickly. By telling this story, I want to let all my friends here be aware of the hidden danger of the ocean, and whenever you face an emergency, just try to stay calm and think about any possible solutions. Do not hesitate to offer help if you can.

【答案】28.B 29.C 30.A 31.C
【解析】28.细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s said that Thomas Edison found an unusual way to enjoy piano music. As someone played, the famous inventor, who had been deaf, would move close to the instrument and bite it.

Another two percent is frozen in the ice caps and glaciers on the Earth.(所有生物都需要干净、新鲜的水才能生存。地球上97%的水都在海洋中。海水中的盐分使它不能饮用。另外2%被冻结在地球上的冰帽和冰川中。)”和下文的“There are many factors that affect the amount of water available for you.

Water is used for drinking, taking a shower or bath, brushing teeth, washing hands, cleaning dishes, doing laundry, and flushing toilets. (根据加利福尼亚州的一项研究，平均每人每天使用超过100加仑的水。水用于饮用、淋浴或洗澡、刷牙、洗手、洗碗、洗衣服和冲厕所。)”可知，该州的人均用水量是比较大的，因此A项(合理地用水是很重要的。)承接上文，说明了，合理用水的必要性。故选A项。
39.根据上文的“No matter where you live, there are many ways you can help conserve water. Today, we have many helpful tools to help us save water. There are low-flow shower heads and faucets, dishwashers and washing machines that use up to 50% less water. (无论你住在哪里，都有很多方法可以帮助节约用水。今天，我们有许多有用的工具来帮助我们节约用水。有低流量的淋浴喷头和水龙头，洗碗机和洗衣机的用水量最多可减少50%。)”可知，F项(在家里安装这些设备是防止浪费水的第一道防线。)承接上文，强调安装上文提到的节约用水设备的必要性。故选F项。
40.根据上文的“There are many other ways you can help. (还有很多其他的方法你可以帮助节约用水。)”和下文的“Take a shower rather than a bath. It’s also important to fix leaky faucets. If you find one, let your parents know. A good way to have cool water available all the time is to keep a pitcher in the fridge. This way you won’t have to wait for the water in the pipes to bring you colder water to drink. Only run your clothes washer and dishwasher when they are full. This can save hundreds of gallons of water a year.(用淋浴代替泡澡。修理漏水的水龙头也很重要。如果你找到了，告诉你的父母。让冷水随时可用的一个好方法是在冰箱里放一个水罐。这样你就不用等水管里的水给你带来更冷的水喝了。洗衣机和洗碗机满了的时候再开动。这样每年可以节省数百加仑的水。 )”可知，C项(刷牙的时候不要让水开着。)承接上文，举例说明了一种节约用水的方法，下文继续举例说明节约用水的方法。故选C项。

He lunged at me from the top, paws stretched out like wings. Seeing what he was doing, I reached out my hands quickly, uttering, “Sebastian, come here”. Just then, he jumped into my arms. I felt a big, warm kitty sniffing my hand, the familiar purrs vibrating through my fingertips. Seeing her brother’s bold move, Squeakette jumped after him. I put them in my lap. They rubbed their soft heads against my palm, seeking more affection. With each stroke, their body were at ease in my presence. After a while, the two kittens took turns climbing it together again.
Sensing their interest, I found a smaller Christmas tree for them. This Christmas tree was too tall for them, who were still young kittens. I was afraid that they could hurt themselves if they jumped from high places. Later, this smaller Christmas tree became their favorite toy and they jumped up and down many times a day. Seeing them play happily, I heard a voice in my heart echoing “it is right to take them home.” They are my little miracle which shows me that love knows no boundaries.
