一、阅读理解
Most people think it important to eat healthy food. But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining-out experience.
HappyCow app
Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups. Users can search for vegetarian-vegan restaurants and stores around the world. A version of HappyCow for $ 5 is available for Android that has ads and requires an Internet connection.
OpenTable app
The OpenTable app with a price of $ 10 helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a service that shows users restaurants available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations, which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.
LocalEats app
Restaurant chains, like McDonalds, can be found almost anywhere a person might travel. But sometimes travelers want to eat like locals. The LocalEats app is designed for that. It can help you find local restaurants in major cities in the US and in other countries. It costs about $ 1.

In 2023 in a small town, Todd Bol put forward an idea to share his mother’s love of reading with others. Bol’s mother had been a teacher who had loved reading. He decided to build a wooden box and fill it with books. Bol placed the box of books on a post in his front yard with a sign that read “Free Books”. Soon his neighbours noticed this tiny model of a “schoolhouse”. They began taking the books and replacing them with books of their own. The tiny library allowed people the opportunity to “check out” books day or night.
Bol’s friends and neighbours wanted little libraries of their own. Bol built several and gave them away. One of his friends, Rick, believed that Bol’s little libraries could benefit more than just local friends and neighbours. With these ideas in mind, Bol and Rick came up with a plan to build over 2,500 Little Free Libraries around the world. They believed that books should be available to all people, no matter where they live or what their background is. To help achieve their goal, Bol and Rick created a website that provides information about the Little Free Libraries and how people can establish little libraries of their own.
Thanks to Bol and Rick, the Little Free Libraries are encouraging people to read more. They didn’t just provide books. They also helped build friendships and a sense of belonging among community members. As more and more people visited Bol’s little library, they began talking with one another. They shared thoughts, ideas, and stories. They got to know one another. Everyone loved the little library. After all, as Bol says, “It’s a magic box with books. People tell us all the time that they’ve met more people in a week than they have in a lifetime.”
Today there are more than 25,000 Little Free Libraries around the world, and they can be found on almost every continent.
4、From whom did Todd Bol get the idea of Little Free Libraries?
A. His mother. B. His teacher. C. His neighbours. D. His friends.
5、Bol and Rick created a website mainly to ______.
A. make more money B. establish online libraries
C. replace paper books with e-books D. provide information and guidance
6、What have the Little Free Libraries brought to the community?
A. New buildings. B. More visitors.
C. Friendly relationships. D. Green environment.
7、What can we learn from the story?
A. Well begun, half done. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Little people can make a big difference.
Dogs are regarded as human’s best friends. That’s especially true after a disaster, such as an earthquake. When buildings fall down, search-and-rescue dogs help find trapped people. Dogs’ amazing noses can pick up the smell of survivors. Now scientists have developed an electronic tool that does the same thing. It’s taking smell detection to a whole new level.
The new invention is a sort of electronic nose, which can detect extremely low levels of many compounds（化合物）from people’s skin. This isn’t the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target compounds either. The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand- held equipment.
The electronic nose can detect extremely slight smell of more than one compound at the same time. “Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery,” says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineering and Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected those compounds at unbelievably low levels.
The results were good news for the research team. But they may be not for our four-legged friends, who could soon be out of a job. “Ideally, this technology could replace search-and-rescue dogs,” Pratsinis says.
Stephen Taylor, an electrical engineer, agrees that the new technology has some benefits over dogs. Still, he thinks it may be too soon to have our trusty friends retire. He suspects, “I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs.” Taylor also points out some potential limitations of the new invention. “E-noses are useful but can be very likely to be affected by unstable readings and interruption,” he says.
8、Why does the author talk about dogs at the beginning?
A. To catch the readers’ attention.
B. To introduce the topic about e-noses.
C. To show what search-and-rescue dogs do.
D. To add background information for discussion.
9、Which of the following best explains “bulky" underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Complex. B. Fragile. C. Handy. D. Large.
10、What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. What e-noses’ working principle is.
B. How e-noses are made.
C. What differences between dogs and e-noses are.
D. How powerful e-noses are.
11、What does Stephen Taylor mean?
A. Dogs and e-noses could work together.
B. Search-and-rescue dogs will retire soon.
C. E-noses are more reliable than noses of dogs.
D. Dogs are better at finding out trapped people.
A team of astronauts composed of private citizens has been launched to the International Space Station (ISS). The launch happened in Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. The flight is the first to be organized and operated by a private company involving a completely commercial astronaut crew.
The four-member team will travel to the ISS inside a spacecraft built by American company SpaceX. The crew members are from the private company Axiom Space based in Houston, Texas. The group is led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. The mission is called Ax-1. Lopez-Alegria will be joined by the mission pilot, Larry Conner, a businessman and private pilot from Ohio. The other members of the crew are Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy, a Canadian businessman. Stibbe and Pathy will serve as mission specialists.
NASA says it will cooperate with Axiom mission officials to plan joint activities involving the Axiom team and regular ISS crew members. Currently, there are three American astronauts aboard the ISS, along with a German astronaut and three Russian astronauts.
The launch is being praised as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space activities. Such activities have become known in the industry as the low-Earth orbit 轨道）economy, or the “LEO economy”.
The latest mission’s crew might seem similar to private space tourists who recently took space rides that did not reach orbit. The trips aim to fly private citizens to the edge of space and permit them to experience weightlessness and observe Earth.
But Axiom executives（经理，主管领导）say their mission is very different. "We are not space tourists," Lopez-Alegria says. The Ax-1 team will be carrying equipment and supplies for 26 science and technology experiments. They include research in areas including brain and heart health, cancer and aging.
Axiom’s co-founder and executive chairman, Kam Ghaffarian, says he saw the launch as "the beginning of many beginnings for commercializing low-Earth orbit". He adds: "We’re like in the early days of the Internet, and we haven’t even imagined all the possibilities, all the capabilities, that we’re going to be providing in space."
12、Who have been launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to the ISS?
A. The four-member private astronaut crew.
B. The four crew members from SpaceX.
C. The four professional astronauts.
D. The four private space tourists.
13、Who is the pilot of the mission Ax-1?
A. Mark Pathy. B. Larry Conner.
C. Eytan Stibbe. D. Michael Lopez-Alegria.
14、Why does Lopez-Alegria say they were not space tourists?
A. They will help with the astronauts work in the ISS.
B. They will experience weightlessness.
C. They will do scientific researches in the ISS.
D. They will just fly to the edge of space.
15、What does Kam think of the LEO economy?
A. It is the beginning of space tourism.
B. It is just an imagination.
C. It is faced with more criticisms.
D. It is a promising business.

The PE teacher blew a whistle and four students dived into the swimming pool, racing to the other side. Then the next four were up, but only three stood on the diving board. “Where is Ren?” the gym teacher asked in concern.
Ren’s face turned red, and he was unsteady. He looked at the pool and stepped back. “You cannot make me do this!” he said.
Sadie, his classmate, patted him on the back gently. “You can do it! I will help you if you need it.” Ren stared into Sadie’s eyes and he calmed down.
“You can do it. You need to pass this class.” The gym teacher said. Ren stepped on the diving board, putting his goggles (护目镜) over his eyes, and the blue cap hid his red hair. The whistle blew and Ren stood there as the other three swam away. Then one boy ran and pushed Ren into the water.
Sadie glared at the boy. “Why would you do that?” A minute passed by and Ren still wasn’t coming up. Sadie jumped in and pulled him out of the water. She gave him CPR (心肺复苏), and it took a while until water came out of his lungs. Then finally he spat out(吐出) the water and sat up, feeling dizzy.
Ren looked over at Sadie, who breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank goodness! Why didn’t you use your arms or legs?” Ren stared away from Sadie, looking at the bottom of the blue pool, then looking up at the gym teacher who rolled his eyes. “I can’t swim. My parents never taught me as a kid. We are afraid of water.”
Sadie put her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry. I will teach you how to swim. The water is my favourite place to be.” Ren thought for a while, and nodded gently.

16、答案：①-⑤ GDCEA
解析：这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了由于过度捕捞浅水鱼类的数量已经严重下降，以及由此导致的后果。
①根据上文“People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic.”（人们仍然想吃鱼，因此渔业必须寻找其他来源，特别是大西洋的深水区）推知，选项承接上文说明以上做法导致的不良影响。故G 选项“这导致许多被捕获物种的数量急剧下降”切题。故选G 项。
②根据上文“Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”（对五种这样的物种的研究表明，数量下降了87%到98%）可知，数量下降到了一定程度，我们便称为它们为“极度濒危”物种。故D 选项“这使得它们被归为‘极度濒危’物种”切题，this指代上文提到的“numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”。故选D 项。
③根据上文“Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.”（深海鱼类需要很长时间繁殖，通常可以活很多年）根据下文“The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.”（这些鱼的平均尺寸也在下降，其中一个物种的平均尺寸下降了57%。这一点值得特别关注，因为大鱼往往比小鱼生育更多的后代）可知，选项承接上下文说明深海鱼类的繁殖率非常低。故C选项“不幸的是，它们的繁殖率非常低”切题。故选C项。
④根据下文“The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.”（深海鱼类被捕获，仿佛它们是沙丁鱼和鲱鱼等快速繁殖的鱼类。这就像把大象当作繁殖速度飞快的兔子杀死一样）可知，渔业忽略了一些物种繁殖速度慢的事实。故E选项“渔业没有考虑到这些事实”故选E项。
⑤根据上文“Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry.”（数百万人以渔业为生）可知，选项与上文为并列关系，说明渔业对人的重要作用。故A选项“数十亿人依赖鱼类获取蛋白质”切题。故选A 项。

34、答案：Ren and Sadie finished gym class and walked home together. Sadie said to Ren gently and sincerely, “as your friend, I hope you can tell me why you are afraid of water.” Hesitating for a second, he shared an experience that he was once narrowly drowned in the river. “Let’s face and overcome it together.” Sadie said firmly. From then on, Sadie tried all means to help Ren. Gradually Ren overcame his fear and he swam freely in the pool. Sadie even encouraged him to take part in the coming swimming race. When that day came, Ren stepped on the diving board and he kept calm and attentive.
The gym teacher blew the whistle and this time Ren dived bravely. He swam to the other side with incredible speed and technique. The gym teacher walked to the other side of the gym and knelt down. “Incredible, Ren!” The gym teacher helped him out of the water, shaking his hand excitedly and cheerfully. “Congratulations, you pass!” Ren held his fist tight and waved to Sadie gratefully with tears in eyes. Sometimes, it is the encouragement and support from your loved ones that help you step out of your comfort zone and overcome yourself, to develop the potential to the fullest.
