It's 1:30 am in Kenya's populated north, and 50 people are lying on their backs on the shore of a dried-up river, staring up at the night sky. These stargazers have travelled 250 miles to Samburu to witness the Perseid meteor shower(英仙座流星雨). They are not disappointed: Every few minutes, arrows of light shoot across the sky like silent fireworks.
The Star Safari is organised by a Kenyan astronomer, Susan Murabana, who has brought a 50kg,170cm-long telescope to allow the group to view Mars and deep-sky objects. But here in Samburu, where light pollution is minimal, the Perseid meteors—visible with the naked eye(肉眼)—steal the show.
Every two months, Murabana and her husband load their telescope onto the roof and set off for rural communities, where they give up to 300 children a chance to view the planets and learn about constellations(星座) and the basics of astrophysics. They primarily targets schools in remote areas because of her mission to give girls an opportunity that she wishes had been available to her.
“When I started this work, I didn't see people who looked like me. I was a lone ranger and I wanted to change that,” says Murabana.
“There is a common misconception in Kenya that astronomy in general is hard, boring, and only for boys,” she adds. “I'd like to teach young girls that astronomy is neither of these things and that they, too, can become astronomers,” says Murabana.
Murabana's passion for astronomy began in her early 20s when her uncle invited her to join a similar outreach session organized by the Cosmos Education. “That was a game changer. If an outreach group had come to me when I was a young teenager, my attitude towards a career in astronomy would have been positive. I ended up studying sociology and economics, but maybe I would have desired to be an astronomer,” she says.
Inspired by the Cosmos Education, Murabana completed an online master's degree in astronomy at James Cook University in 201l and set up her own outreach programme. She looked on Dr. Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space, as a role model. “I hope that one day, through this work, I will spark a chain reaction that leads to the first African woman in space.”
24.What do the underlined words “steal the show” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Ruin the effort. B.Face the challenge.
C.Attract more attention. D.Keep the promise.
25.Why does Murabana target girl students in remote areas
A.To help them out of poverty.
B To inspire their love of astronomy.
C.To look for assistants for her work.
D.To give them an edge over boys in studies.
26.What can we learn about Murabana from Paragraph 6
A.She enjoyed playing games.
B.She longed to be an astronomer.
C.She is an initiator of Cosmos Education.
D.She regretted not taking astronomy earlier.
27.Which of the following can be the best title
A.The birth of a Kenyan woman astronomer
B.The prejudice against girls in rural Kenya
C.The Kenyan astronomer bringing astronomy to the people
D.The Kenyan stargazers watching the Perseid meteor shower
C
Super images from NASA show the Moon's South Pole in incredible detail. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) used a ShadowCam(影子相机) to try and take high-resolution pictures. Pictures showed “features and terrain(地形) details that are not visible to LROC”.
Experts at the space organization were interested in the area around the Shackleton Crater because of suspected ice deposits(沉积物). Scientists believe layers of the ice deposits have existed on the Moon for millions or billions of years. The ice deposits could serve as an important resource for exploration because they are composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Those gases can be used for rocket fuel or life support systems. Areas like the Shackleton Crater are at an angle so parts of it are never exposed to sunlight. If a person were at the Moon's South Pole, the Sun would never rise or set and stay low on the horizon. The South Pole also provides near constant communication with Earth.
It comes as a NASA spacecraft that will fly Earth on Sunday. It's expected to drop off at least a cupful of rubble(碎石) it grabbed from the asteroid(小行星) Bennu. The sample capsule will land into the Utah desert. Its mother ship, the Osiris-Rex spacecraft, quickly leaves to encounter another asteroid. Sunday's landing marks the end of a 4 billion-mile journey that included reaching the carbon-rich asteroid Bennu. It successfully collected samples, and encountered challenges such as a jammed lid that led to some spillage in space.
It is hoped that findings from the study will help scientists figure out how to deflect(使偏转) Bennu. Bennu is set to dangerously strike Earth with the force of 24 atom bombs on September 24, 2182. The space rock, which is as big as the Empire State Building, swings close to our planet every six years. However, the agency says there is a 1 in 2,700 chance that it could strike Earth, with disastrous results.
28.What is the function of the first paragraph
A.To explain the meaning of LROC.
B.To lead to the main topic.
C.To describe the Moon's South Pole.
D.To present the importance of the ShadowCam.
29.What do we know from Paragraph 2
A.Ice deposits can be used for exploration.
B.Sunlight cannot reach the Shackleton Crater.
C.The Shackleton Crater is a popular tourist destination.
D.Ice deposits are found in the area around the Shackleton Crater.
30.What is the expected result of the NASA spacecraft that will fly Earth on Sunday
A.It will conduct new experiments in space.
B.It will test new technology for deep space exploration.
C.It will bring back a cup of rubble from the asteroid Bennu.
D.It will collect more ice deposits from the asteroid Bennu.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.The asteroid Bennu is rich in carbon.
B.Scientists can make the asteroid Bennu change its direction.
C.There's a strong possibility of Bennu striking Earth in the future.
D.The asteroid samples brought back by NASA are likely to have scientific research value.
D
A penny saved is a penny earned. And more and more penny-wise young Chinese are abandoning consumerism by leading an increasingly frugal(节俭的) life amid developing anti-consumerism concepts.
According to a survey by , nearly 50% of respondents would use all means to save money and more than 30% plan to become deal-hunters to fit in their budgets. More than 80% of Generation Z Chinese spend less than 5,000 yuan a month. When shopping, they care the most about practicality, personal preference and price, instead of brands, popularity and brand spokesmen.
And more than 600,000 users of Douban, a popular social media platform, have joined a group there named Frenzied Money Savers where members sometimes share extreme ideas, tips, books and everything to save hard-earned money. For instance, some recommended uninstalling shopping apps such as Taobao, Meituan and Pinduoduo and installing them each time you really need to buy something so as to hold back the urge to spend. And milk tea, coffee and takeout are strongly opposed by many.
Chinese have long established and valued the saving culture with the country's household savings rate leading the world. Young Chinese who are born in a relatively prosperous and abundant society have learned to get rid of the addiction to consumerism and use money in a more sensible and wiser way, which could help create a more healthy and upbeat social vibe(社会风气), besides reducing the huge waste and damage to the environment caused by over consumption.
Just as the American writer T. T. Munger said, the habit of saving is itself an education. Yet saving is certainly not the final goal, but spending money where it truly deserves helps realize one's life objectives. To save and spend wisely is a lesson young people all over the world have to learn.
32.Why are more and more young Chinese becoming penny-wise
A.They tend to accept consumerism.
B.They spend money without hesitation.
C.They are shaped by multiple cultures.
D.They are in favor of economical life.
33.What may Generation Z Chinese care the most about when shopping
A.Budgets and service.
B.Practicality and price.
C.Personal preference and brands.
D.Shopping apps and platforms.
34.What message does the author want to convey in Paragraph 4
A.Anti-consumerism is beneficial to social progress.
B.Saving money can be many people's life objective.
C.Many social issues mainly result from consumerism.
D.Young Chinese are lucky to be born in a prosperous society.
35.What is the text mainly about
A.There is no increasing need for consumerism.
B.The old virtue of being frugal is still not outdated.
C.Tips on saving money are important for the young.
D.Consumerism has an impact on economic development.

My friend James did some first-aid training at work last week to learn the fundamentals of CPR and he asked if I'd ever done the same. Yes, I've attended several CPR sessions over the years. And I've always come away with a wealth of information. But no, I don't exactly feel “trained” to save lives. 36. . Here's what I should have done—and what you can do now—to make sure any training doesn't go to waste.
Test yourself before you start.
You might be surprised to find that you've got some foundations of knowledge to build on. 37. .
Write questions as you learn.
38. . This can trick your memory into thinking that it doesn't have to work because the information is all stored in your notebook. Instead, write yourself questions for the future.
39. .
Wait a day, and then see how much you still know. If it's hard to remember, but just about possible with effort, then that's perfect. You need that little bit of struggle to start keeping information in your brain.
Keep coming back.
Put a note in your diary to test yourself again in a week, then ten days after that, then a month on... Use the questions you wrote on the day to keep challenging yourself.
Talking to James has inspired me to book myself yet another CPR course. 40. . Remember that it's the next day when the real training starts.
A.Challenge your recall later
B.Don't waste time making notes
C.But this time I'm determined to do it right
D.I've always taken it seriously and been focused
E.It was essential to take notes quickly and to pay attention
F.Practically nothing has ever made it to my long-term memory
G.Pre-testing sparks your curiosity and puts you in a frame of mind to remember

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。
It was 3 a.m. when the flood came on an unseasonably warm night in June. Rocks were heard breaking. Susan Roberts, new to Red Lodge, Montana, a small town of 2,300 people, woke from an uneasy sleep. She saw the lights on at her across-the-way neighbors', on the side bordering Rock Creek, a 55-mile river skirting the town's eastern edge.
Roberts's next-door neighbor, a police officer, was evacuating(撤离) with his four kids, and he advised Roberts to do the same. So she put her dogs in the car and moved it to an narrow street behind her home, about 10 feet uphill, as her husband went from house to house, waking others. It was still dark; people were sleeping and didn't realize. More people went to each other's doors, saying, “Wake up and you have to get out.”
The couple stayed in their car and on the few feet of dry land surrounding it for the entirety of the next day, watching their house ruined. Trees were washed down the town's main street. Cars floated away. Floods ruined the Beartooth Highway, a major road connecting Red Lodge to Billings. “The town looked like a riverbed,” says Roberts. “The whole community was wandering around, trying to grasp what happened.”
The day after the flood, more than 20 people, friends, neighbors, strangers, even tourists flocked(群集) to help. “People went into our wet, muddy basement and pulled everything out,” says Roberts. “They sorted and took things home to wash. One person came to clean up our yard. A mother and her two young children pulled rubbish from our chain-link fence.” Helpers even saved her precious photo albums, drying each print before returning it to the book.
And volunteers kept coming every day until summer's end. “People would not take no for an answer. If I was like, ‘Oh, we're OK now,’ they'd be like, ‘No, I'm gonna do something,’” she says.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Soon, all over town, people took action jointly to clean up the whole mess.
More than a year later, Red Lodge began to take on a new look.

第一节
A
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了哥斯达黎加当地动物救援中心的志愿者需要完成的工作以及成为志愿者需要满足的条件和支付的费用。
21.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In addition to the caretaking of the animals, volunteers help us welcome visitors at the entrance and answer any questions that visitors may have about the shelter or its animals.”可知,志愿者还帮助在入口处欢迎访客,并回答访客可能提出的关于收容所或动物的问题,故选A。
22.C 细节理解题。根据Requirements部分中的“You need to be at least 15 years old on the program start date at the high school level or above. Speaking English is a basic requirement. No restrictions on nationality. Helping hands both in Costa Rica and beyond are welcome. Your helping hand will be required from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.”可知,志愿者需要在课程开始时年满15岁,高中或以上水平,会说英语,工作时间为星期一、二、三、四、六、日的上午九点至下午三点。由此可知,一位来自美国的大学生符合条件,可以参加这个项目,成为志愿者。故选C。
23.A 推理判断题。根据Program fees中的“1 week(the minimum stay)$350”及“Booking payments (15%)”可知,志愿者至少要付350×15%=52.5美元,才能预约。故选A。
难句分析
原句 Not only does this shelter take in homeless animals, but also wild animals which are in bad condition.
分析 本句是not only位于句首的倒装句,转换为陈述句语序后应为“This shelter takes in not only homeless animals but also wild animals which are in bad condition.”;其中,which引导定语从句,修饰wild animals。
译文 这个收容所不仅收容流浪的动物,还收容状态不好的野生动物。
B
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了肯尼亚天文学家Susan Murabana的事迹,她致力于普及天文学知识。
24.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Susan Murabana, who has brought a 50kg, 170cm-long telescope to allow the group to view Mars and deep-sky objects. But here in Samburu, where light pollution is minimal, the Perseid meteors—visible with the naked eye”可知,Murabana带了一架非常好的望远镜,让大家观察天体,但桑布鲁光污染极少,流星雨用肉眼就可以看见,所以望远镜失去了作用,由此推测steal the show表示“抢风头”,故选C。
25.B 推理判断题。根据设问定位到第三段,由“They primarily targets schools in remote areas because of her mission to give girls an opportunity that she wishes had been available to her.”可知,Murabana主要针对偏远地区的女孩们,为的是给女孩们她希望自己曾拥有的机会;结合第六段可知,此处指给女孩们接触天文学的机会,激发她们对天文学的兴趣。其他几项在文中均未体现,故选B。
技巧点拨
本题用排除法更容易得出答案。
26.D 细节理解题。根据“If an outreach group had come to me when I was a young teenager, my attitude towards a career in astronomy would have been positive. I ended up studying sociology and economics, but maybe I would have desired to be an astronomer”可知,她后悔没有早点学习天文学。
归纳总结
would have done是虚拟语气的一种用法,表示对过去的事情的假设,表示“本来会做”。
27.C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了肯尼亚天文学家Susan Murabana的事迹,她致力于向人们普及天文学知识。故选C。
C
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国国家航空航天局关于月球南极和小行星“贝努”的研究突破及其科研价值。
28.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Super images from NASA show the Moon's South Pole in incredible detail...Pictures showed...”可知,来自美国国家航空航天局的超级图像令人难以置信地展示了月球南极的细节,照片显示了月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机看不到的特征和地形细节。结合第二段对月球南极的具体描述可知,第一段引出了本文的主题。故选B。
29.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“The ice deposits could serve as an important resource for exploration because they are composed of hydrogen and oxygen.”可知,冰层沉积物由氢和氧构成,可以作为勘探的重要资源。故选A。
30.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“It's expected to drop off at least a cupful of rubble it grabbed from the asteroid Bennu.”可知,美国国家航空航天局的航天器有望从小行星“贝努”上带回至少一杯碎石。故选C。
31.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“It is hoped that findings from the study will help scientists figure out how to deflect Bennu.”可知,人们希望这项研究的发现能帮助科学家们弄清楚如何使“贝努”偏转。由此推知,该研究可能有助于科学家弄清楚如何使“贝努”偏转,从而避免撞击地球,具有科研价值。故选D。
熟词生义
set 熟义:v.放,置;设置 生义:v.落(下)
难句分析
原句 It is hoped that findings from the study will help scientists figure out how to deflect Bennu.
分析 本句为主从复合句。It为形式主语,that引导主语从句,在从句中,“how to deflect”为“疑问词+不定式”结构,作figure out的宾语。
译文 希望这项研究的发现能帮助科学家弄清楚如何使“贝努”发生偏转。
D
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,讲述了现在越来越多精明的中国年轻人正在摒弃消费主义,过着越来越节俭的生活。
32.D 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词penny-wise定位到第一段第二句“And more and more penny-wise young Chinese are abandoning consumerism by leading an increasingly frugal life amid developing anti-consumerism concepts.”,由此可知,原因是他们正在摒弃消费主义,支持节俭的生活。故选D。
33.B 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词when shopping定位到第二段第三句“When shopping, they care the most about practicality, personal preference and price, instead of brands, popularity and brand spokesmen.”,由此可知,中国Z世代在购物时最看重实用性、个人喜好和价格。故选B。
34.A 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Young Chinese...have learned to get rid of the addiction to consumerism and use money in a more sensible and wiser way, which could help create a more healthy and upbeat social vibe, besides reducing the huge waste and damage to the environment caused by over consumption.”可知,中国年轻人摆脱了消费瘾,更明智地使用金钱,可以帮助创造一种更健康、更乐观的社会氛围,也就是反消费主义有利于社会进步。故选A。
35.B 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“And more and more penny-wise young Chinese are abandoning consumerism by leading an increasingly frugal life amid developing anti-consumerism concepts.”和最后一段中的“To save and spend wisely is a lesson young people all over the world have to learn.”可知,本文主要讲述了越来越多的中国年轻人正在摒弃消费主义,过着越来越节俭的生活,而储蓄和明智消费是全世界年轻人必须学习的,所以B项“The old virtue of being frugal is still not outdated.”最能概括文章内容。故选B。
熟词生义
lead 熟义:v.引导 生义:v.过(某种生活);处于领先地位
难句分析
原句 Young Chinese who are born in a relatively prosperous and abundant society have learned to get rid of the addiction to consumerism and use money in a more sensible and wiser way, which could help create a more healthy and upbeat social vibe, besides reducing the huge waste and damage to the environment caused by over consumption.
分析 本句为主从复合句。主句的主语是Young Chinese,who引导定语从句,修饰先行词Young Chinese;主句谓语是have learned,其后是and连接的两个不定式短语“to get rid of...”和“(to)use...”,作宾语;which引导非限制性定语从句,指代主句的所有内容,对主句补充说明,其中“besides reducing...consumption”为介词短语作状语。
译文 出生在一个相对繁荣富足的社会中的中国年轻人已经学会了摆脱消费瘾,以更理性、更明智的方式花钱,这样除了可以减少因过度消费造成的巨大浪费和对环境的破坏,还可以帮助创造一种更健康、更乐观的社会氛围。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了作者与詹姆斯交谈后,反思了自己心肺复苏课程训练效果不佳的问题,给出了几个学习建议。
36.F 根据上文可知作者虽然接受过训练,了解了很多相关信息,但并不觉得自己确实“被训练过”去拯救生命,F项“Practically nothing has ever made it to my long-term memory(几乎没有什么能进入我的长期记忆)”承接上文,说明作者总觉得自己没有接受过训练的缘由,故选F。
37.G 根据本段的主题句“Test yourself before you start.(开始之前先测试一下自己)”可知,本段主要讲的是与预先测试有关的话题。G项“Pre-testing sparks your curiosity and puts you in a frame of mind to remember (预先测试能激发你的好奇心,让你有一种记忆的心态)”符合语境,Pre-testing是关键词,故选G。
38.B 根据下文“This can trick your memory into thinking that it doesn't have to work because the information is all stored in your notebook.(这会欺骗你的记忆,使你的记忆认为它不必工作,因为信息都存储在你的笔记本中)”可知,此处表达在学习这门课的过程中做笔记可能造成不良后果,对做笔记持否定态度,与B项“Don't waste time making notes(不要浪费时间做笔记)”表达的观点一致,故选B。
39.A 设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Wait a day, and then see how much you still know.(等待一天,然后看看你还知道多少)”可知,A项“Challenge your recall later(稍后考验一下你的记忆力)”符合语境,故选A。
40.C 根据第一段中的“But no, I don't exactly feel ‘trained’ to save lives.(但不,我并不觉得自己接受过拯救生命的‘训练’)”“to make sure any training doesn't go to waste(确保任何训练都不会浪费)”及空前句“Talking to James has inspired me to book myself yet another CPR course.(与詹姆斯的交谈激励我为自己预订了另一门心肺复苏课程)”可知,此处说的是作者与詹姆斯交谈后,反思了自己心肺复苏课程训练效果不佳的问题,重新预订了另一门心肺复苏课程,并决定学好这门课,与C项“But this time I'm determined to do it right (但这次我决心做对)”表达的含义相符,故选C。

语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。自从日本不顾国际社会的强烈反对和批评,开始向太平洋排放受核污染的废水以来,很多人表达了他们的愤怒和担忧,并表示不再去日本餐馆。文章报道了社会各界对日本排核污水的看法和态度。
56.criticism 考查名词。设空处作介词despite的宾语,and连接设空处和opposition,所以此处也应用名词形式,故填criticism。
57.saying 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处为with的复合结构,设空处作宾补,应用非谓语形式,say和a large number of them为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式,故填saying。
58.contradictory 考查形容词。句意:根据发言人的说法,日本政府的行为违背了国际公约,专家们表示,日本排放废水对全世界人民安全的影响是不可预测的。空前为系动词are,设空处作表语,结合句意可知此处应用形容词contradictory,表示“相互矛盾的,对立的”,故填contradictory。
59.will be selected 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:因此,许多国内的日本餐厅表示,他们将调整产品线,海鲜将选择国内来源或从其他沿海国家进口。分析句子可知,设空处为谓语,由and连接的will adjust可知,此处应用一般将来时,seafood和动词select为被动关系,所以用一般将来时的被动语态。故填will be selected。
60.to develop 考查动词不定式。句意:有些人甚至说,他们将试图开发其他新菜系。seek to do sth.表示“试图做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式。故填to develop。
61.firmly 考查副词。句意:“如果日本决定继续其排放计划,中国政府将采取必要措施坚决保护海洋环境。”大多数中国人表示,其中包括目前在日本生活和学习的中国人。设空处作状语,修饰动词protect,应用副词,故填firmly。
62.whom 考查定语从句。句意见上一题。分析句子可知,此处为“介词among+关系代词whom”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为a majority of Chinese,设空处在从句中作介词among的宾语,故填whom。
63.conducted 考查非谓语动词。句意:在微博上进行的一项民意调查中,超过20万网民敦促日本取消其错误决定,以负责任的方式处理废水。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰poll,poll和conduct为被动关系,所以用过去分词形式,故填conducted。

65.for 考查介词。此处为固定搭配bear the responsibility for sth.,表示“承担对……的责任”,故填for。

难句分析
原句 Since Japan began releasing nuclear-contaminated waste water into the Pacific Ocean despite strong
opposition and criticism from the international community, Chinese netizens have expressed their anger and concern, with a large number of them saying that they would no longer go to Japanese restaurants.
分析 本句为主从复合句。句子主干为“Chinese netizens have expressed their anger and concern”;Since引导时间状语从句,其中介词短语“despite strong...community”表让步;“with a large number of them...restaurants”为with的复合结构,其中that引导宾语从句。

Soon, all over town, people took action jointly to clean up the whole mess.Volunteer groups, of which Roberts and her husband were members, worked quickly to clear out a space within hours. People offered their vacation homes to the homeless at no charge due to the floods. Medical workers offered treatment and check-ups to the needy ones. Restaurant owners organized a gift card group for people to buy gift cards from local businesses to donate to affected residents. They even offered free food to the homeless. Although the collapsed houses were not built yet, everything was slowly improving in harmony and order.
More than a year later, Red Lodge began to take on a new look. In the spring, Roberts finally moved back home, with a freshly poured concrete foundation. The displaced people all returned. The houses were stronger, the roads were wider, and the homes were more beautiful. The peaceful night's sleep was restored. After joint efforts with others, Roberts was no longer new to Red Lodge, but the builder and owner. “I'm blessed,” said Roberts. “People here are more like family members, braving difficulties together.”
