    四、阅读理解
    For children, space is magical — a whole world is out there, with so many things to learn and stories to read. Here are some children’s books about space and the solar system.
    Mae among the Stars by Stasia Burrington
    This beautifully illustrated picture book is attractive to young kids. It was inspired by the first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison. It tells the story of Mae as a little girl, who always knew she had big dreams about space. This is a great addition to a young kid’s collection, as a reminder to hold tight to dreams and never give up.
    Space by Libby Jackson
    This beautifully illustrated book gives kids a look at 50 women from around the world who were involved in exploring space in some way, from the 19th century to the present day. This is a perfect gift for young kids who want to know more about some of the lesser-known scientific achievements related to space exploration.
    Chasing Space by Leland Melvin
    This is Melvin’s story about being a football player-turned-astronaut, along with his recovery from an injury that nearly left him deaf. Kids will love reading his story about how he faced challenges and advanced ahead, and he also includes DIY experiments for kids to try, and a section of full-color photographs.
    System and Beyond by David A.Aguilar
    The book is full of beautiful illustrations of space, and is perfect for kids of all ages, exploring various planets and the solar system. Unlike other kids’ space book, this is a National Geographic book written and illustrated by an award-winning astronomer and space artist. Aguilar is also the former Director of Science Information and Public Outreach at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

    We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”
    Father’s words always guided me. Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer, I came to Paris, but without luck. Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater. “What an interesting stitch!” I cried. “It was done by Mrs. Vidian,” my friend explained. “She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea. Why not design, make and sell my own clothes?
    I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs. Vidian to knit it into a sweater. It proved a success. A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order. My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
    I was crushed. Then I remembered father’s words. There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch. Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several. Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
    From that day on orders poured in. Then came another test. As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike. Where was the way out this time? I wondered and worried. Then it dawned on me.
    I worked hurriedly. And right on time, my show took place. Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patters made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished. What a show! Once again father’s words helped me.
    24.What problem did the writer face after accepting the order?
    A.It was impossible for Vidian to meet the deadline. B.The sewing girls were called out on strike.
    C.She found it hard to track Armenians living in Paris. D.There was a shortage of suitable cloth.
    25.What do the underlined words “the first shipment” refer to in Paragraph 4?
    A.Raw materials. B.More orders. C.The forty sweaters. D.The special stitch.
    26.How did the writer deal with the show problem?
    A.She put off the show. B.She showed the clothes unfinished.
    C.She employed more sewing girls. D.She completed the clothes in a hurry.
    27.Which of the following might the writer agree with?
    A.Practice makes perfect. B.Like father, like son.
    C.Easier said than done. D.All roads lead to Rome.

    Trees don’t look at the calendar to see when spring arrives, but they seem to know when spring is here better than we do. The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush(苍翠的) environment reveals itself. Recently a research takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected.
    Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green ups in the 85 largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of artificial lights and urban heat effect.
    According to the findings, one of the reasons is the artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on. In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth. Since temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the winter, the length of daylight is the signal trees look for to safely start growing again and turn green.
    On average cities are typically 1.8 to 5.4F warmer than rural areas. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes even more than climate warming and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators(授粉媒介).
    Despite the worries and concern, it isn’t all bad news. “With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide,” A researcher said. “Hopefully they’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help relieve the urban heating effect in cities.”
    28.What is the purpose of the text?
    A.To reveal how trees survive bitter winters.
    B.To warn how human activities disturb nature.
    C.To explain why trees turn green earlier in cities.
    D.To clarify how trees turning green earlier benefits cities.
    29.How did the scientists conduct their research?
    A.Bringing out urban heat island effect.
    B.Comparing the green-up time in sample cities.
    C.Allowing the city environment to reveal itself.
    D.Developing pictures shot by the satellite.
    30.Which of the following elements contributes to trees turning green earlier?
    A.Plant pollinators. B.Water cycle. C.Road signs. D.Street lamps.
    31.In which section of a website can the text be found?
    A.Environment. B.Education. C.Entertainment. D.Business.

    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 “unequivocally (毫不含糊地) 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 least17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention, 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 (夸大) 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 emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. Rushing the implementation of such technology without addressing its limitations could lead to serious consequences on the road.
    32.What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes from paragraph 2?
    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

    九、读后续写
    67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
    Sometimes when you are a kid, it is easy to feel pretty helpless. Indeed, if you stop and think about it, there are so many things that you can’t do. You can’t play sports as well as your football or basketball heroes. You can’t do some of the stunts (特技动作) that other kids do at the skate park. Sometimes it is hard to see that you even have the potential to develop any of these abilities. What you want to achieve may seem such a long way in the future that it feels you will never reach it.
    Well, I once beard an inspiring story—a true story, I believe—about a boy named Trevor. It shows there are little things kids can do that make a big difference. One night Trevor was doing what a lot of other 13-year-old kids would be doing: He was watching TV. On the news he saw a story about some homeless people sleeping out in the cold on the streets, in a downtown area of Philadelphia where he lived. Trevor had never really stopped to think how fortunate he was to live in a fairly well-to-do suburb(郊区) of the same city. The story of the homeless people touched his heart and he began to wonder what he could do to help these people.
    It might have been easy for Trevor to forget about it. There are so many sad stories that you see on TV at times. This could have been just another that he ignored.
    Trevor also might have thought,“Well, what can I do about it? I’m just a kid’‘, but he didn’t. Instead he began to wonder how he might help and that led him to remember there were some spare, unused blankets in their garage.
    注意:
    1.续写词数应为150左右;
    2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
    Paragraph 1:
    So he went to his father and asked whether he could take the blankets to the homeless down town for the night.
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Paragraph 2:
    To collect more blankets, the next day Trevor went to some public places where there were notice boards.

    33.推理判断题。根据第三段的“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.(特斯拉的安全声明缺乏背景,因为自动驾驶仪主要是为高速公路设计的,而大多数事故发生在更复杂的环境中,有交叉交通、行人和骑自行车的人。此外,特斯拉的客户群主要是生活在事故率较低社区的富裕人士。)”可知,特斯拉的安全声明是基于有限的驾驶环境。故选B。
    34.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“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.(全自动驾驶不允许汽车完全自动驾驶,司机需要保持注意力,随时准备干预。)”可知,全自动驾驶需要司机保持专注。故选C。
    35.主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety.

    67.So he went to his father and asked whether he could take the blankets to the homeless downtown for the night. His father was surprised but also proud of his son’s empathy and willingness to help others. He agreed to drive Trevor to the downtown area and together they handed out the blankets to the homeless people they came across. The smile on the faces of the homeless people and the gratitude in their eyes made Trevor feel that he had done something truly meaningful.   From that night on, Trevor made it his mission to help the homeless people in his city.
    To collect more blankets, the next day Trevor went to some public places where there were notice boards. He put up some posters appealing to people to donate any spare blankets they had. He also went to his school and asked his classmates to help him in this mission. Slowly but surely, Trevor was able to collect a lot of blankets. He and his father started to drive downtown more often to distribute the blankets to the people in need. They also started to bring food and other necessary things for the homeless people.
