Richard Browning has been attracted by flight ever since his father took him into the hills to fly gliders (滑翔机). He has certainly been an adventurer. Richard took it upon himself to develop his own jet suit and began to experiment with some of his friends. He made quick progress. In 2017, he felt confident enough to start a company called Gravity Industries that could make jet suits. It took 15 months to develop the very first one.
Five very small jet engines are built into the jet suit. These are powered by kerosene (煤油). Two engines are located on the pilot’s arms and one is placed on the back. Each engine weighs less than two kilos and can produce22 kilos of thrust(推力).
The pilot is able to control the direction and speed of the flight. He does this by small movements of the arms which require hours of practice. One wrong move and you could end up falling to the ground.
Richard is not only in charge of his company; he is also the chief test pilot. He has spent hours and hours perfecting the correct moves to create a perfect flight. He was able to enter the Guinness Book of World Records in 2017 when he became the fastest man in a jet suit and flew at 51 kilometres per hour. Since then, he has presented his jet suit at 60 events in 20 different countries around the world. More recently, he flew alongside Brighton Pier on the south coast of England at 136 kilometres per hour!
The objective of Richard’s company has been to build a suit which members of the public can buy. The first went on sale in a department store in 2018 for f 340, 000. If you want to jet around your own hometown, it’s time to start saving—or to work for Richard Browning.
24．What do we know about Richard
A．He was absorbed in flight. B．He is no stranger to misfortune.
C．He is slow in making up his mind. D．He started his company with his father.
25．What can be inferred about Richard’s jet suit

C．It consists of two engines. D．It leads the world in its field.
26．What does Richard expect of the jet suit according to the last paragraph
A．It’ll be much faster. B．It’ll save more energy.
C．It’ll reach ordinary customers soon. D．It’ll ease his hometown’s heavy traffic.
27．What can we learn from Richard’s story

C．One cannot succeed without time and practice. D．Luck, talent and friendship help to achieve success.

The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most diverse places in America, a wonderful place filled with people from all backgrounds. Each of them drew something different from their own experience. Their stories are the focus of Status Update, an exhibition of 14 projects offered by Dundon and former WIRED contributor Pete Brook. The show at SOMarts uses personal tales to show the Bay Area’s culture.
The Bay Area is a microcosm (缩影) of the national melting pot, a place where people of color comprise 58 percent of the overall population and are a majority in four of the region’s five countries, San Francisco in particular is the type of place where you can’ t walk down the street without hearing another language. Yet the change is not all for the better. The gap between rich and poor is widening at a frightening speed, and San Francisco is becoming less diverse as minorities escape from the city for more affordable communities elsewhere in the region.
Status Update reflects these changes and the challenges they bring. Joseph Rodriguez’s Faces of Foreclosure features quiet images of people like Ethel Gist, who lost her home in the East Bay suburb of Brentwood six years ago. Photographer Sam records Oakland resident Shannon and his efforts to provide for his daughter. And Laura Morton documents millennials (千禧一代 )hoping to make their way to the top in Silicon Valley in her series Wild West Tech.
Status Update starts a conversation about how the Bay Area is changing, and what people can do to build up a more just equitable (公正的) society. “I hope people walk away from this show with a little more respect for our neighbors and communities and the ways we depend on one another.” Dundon says. “we’re all out here together”
28．What are the artworks in Status Update mainly about
A．The real lives of people in the Bay Area.
B．The beautiful construction of the Bay Area.
C．The friendliness of people in the Bay Area.
D．The technological development of the Bay Area.
29．What is happening in San Francisco
A．It is facing a rapid economic slowdown.
B．The population has been falling in recent years.
C．More and more local people tend to speak the same language.
D．It is getting harder and harder for minorities to afford their lives.
30．What’s the most suitable subject of Status Update
A．Sharing the successful experience of the Bay Area.
B．Recording the diversity and change of the Bay Area.
C．Introducing the long and rich history of the Bay Area.
D．Showing the past, the present and the future of the Bay Area.
31．What does Dundon expect of visitors
A．They can know more about themselves. B．They can open their hearts to other people.
C．They can respect the people around them. D．They can develop an interest in diverse cultures.
D
Nowadays, countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change. China says that most new vehicles sold by 2035 will be electric. The United Kingdom will ban new gas-powered cars in 2030. One of the world’s major automakers, General Motors (GM), announced that it would stop selling gas-powered cars by 2035.
The key to an electric future is batteries. Automakers are racing to pack the most energy into the smallest one. The lithium-ion battery is what powers our mobile devices, which can be recharged again and again. Making these batteries has an environmental cost. Lithium is taken from the earth, like the oil used to make gasoline. But the long-term cost is much smaller. “Once you burn gasoline, you can’t recycle it,” says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But when you use up a battery, you can still recycle the material.”
It’s up to governments to make electric cars accessible to everyone. National policies can help. In the United States, an electric Chevy Volt costs about $35, 000. Trancik says charging stations must also be made widely available. As part of an effort to fight climate change, America plans to build half a million of them in the US by 2030. She hopes enough charging stations will be built soon. “It’s important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them,” she says, “not just wealthier people.”
Last year, almost 5% of approximately 67 million new cars sold world widewere electric. For Venkat Viswanathan, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, green electricity is part of the solution to climate change, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees a future of solar powered homes and electric flying cars. “Soon, a plug in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car. It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future,” he says. “It will be a totally new world.”
32．Why are countries eager to promote electric cars
A．To reduce the cost of vehicles.
B．To increase the availability of charging stations.
C．To promote solar-powered homes.
D．To deal with climate change.
33．What does Trancik indicate about charging stations in Paragraph 3
A．They should come down in price. B．They may be unfairly laid out.
C．Enough of them have been built. D．They favor more ordinary people.
34．What can be inferred from Viswanathan’s words
A．Gas-powered cars will be cheaper. B．The price of batteries will drop sharply.
C．Electric vehicles will beat climate change. D．Green electricity will be widely used.
35．Which word best describes Trancik’s attitude to the lithium-ion battery
A．Positive. B．Skeptical.
C．Conservative. D．Disapproving.

The water is pale blue and warm, alive with colorful fish, 52 , and other marine life; the sand is the color of 53 .

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。
Opening presents carefully selected by our parents is our family tradition on Christmas morning, which always pushes the festive atmosphere to the climax. However, this year’s Christmas seemed not as happy as usual.
It was Christmas Eve when my sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work. Though worried about ruining my mom’s original plan, we still wanted to sneak a peek (偷看) at the gifts in advance, driven by a strong impulse of curiosity. Since my sister was older, and that put her in charge, she opened the first gift while I was ordered to stand guard at the big picture window in our front room. I was to report any suspicious activity or person, namely our mother, who can easily capture the details of life.
I was so excited that I could barely stand still. I also couldn’t keep my eyes on the window very long. My head moved from the window to my sister and back to the window again. I felt like I was watching a Ping-Pong match.
“All right!” my sister shouted. She pulled out a jewelry box. “You know what that means, don’t you ”
I jumped up and down. “Yeah, it’s my turn!”
“No,” she said. “It means that there must be some jewelry under here.” I watched my sister rummaging (翻寻) through the presents under the tree, trying to find one she thought was small enough to be a necklace or earrings.
“Hey, that’s not fair!” I complained, stomping my foot.
“Are you watching for Mom ” is all that she said. I couldn’t do anything except stand guard as she opened present after present. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied and she had finished wrapping her last present back up, we traded places.
My heart hammered so hard that it felt like my chest was moving in and out. My sister reminded me to be careful so I wouldn’t tear the paper, and to wrap the present back up the same way that I had found it.
After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside. “Headphones! How can my mom know what I want! Without any hesitation, I pulled the headphones out of the box.

M: Ivan Fletcher loves crazy inventions. He writes a weekly magazine column called “Unbelievable Inventions”. One of his favorite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a stick of glue, but it’s butter. You rub it on the bread instead of using a knife. Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these special shoes on your dog or cat. As the animal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. These inventions come from Japan, the home of the crazy invention. Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. For example, the other day he found an invention called a Cat Seat Saver. It looks exactly like a sleeping cat but it isn’t real. You put it on your seat if you have to go to the restroom. No one will sit in your seat because they think there’s a sleeping cat on it. Here are some more: Fish Radio. This useful radio is completely waterproof, so you can listen to it in the shower. Simply stick it on the bathroom wall and sing along to your favorite songs as you shower! Watch Your Back Mirror. Don’t get caught surfing the Internet or sending e-mails to your friends. Attach this mirror to your computer screen and you’ll be able to see when the boss is coming!

Richard Browning has been attracted by flight ever since his father took him into the hills to fly gliders (滑翔机). He has certainly been an adventurer. Richard took it upon himself to develop his own jet suit and began to experiment with some of his friends. He made quick progress. In 2017, he felt confident enough to start a company called Gravity Industries that could make jet suits. It took 15 months to develop the very first one.
Five very small jet engines are built into the jet suit. These are powered by kerosene (煤油). Two engines are located on the pilot’s arms and one is placed on the back. Each engine weighs less than two kilos and can produce22 kilos of thrust(推力).
The pilot is able to control the direction and speed of the flight. He does this by small movements of the arms which require hours of practice. One wrong move and you could end up falling to the ground.
Richard is not only in charge of his company; he is also the chief test pilot. He has spent hours and hours perfecting the correct moves to create a perfect flight. He was able to enter the Guinness Book of World Records in 2017 when he became the fastest man in a jet suit and flew at 51 kilometres per hour. Since then, he has presented his jet suit at 60 events in 20 different countries around the world. More recently, he flew alongside Brighton Pier on the south coast of England at 136 kilometres per hour!
The objective of Richard’s company has been to build a suit which members of the public can buy. The first went on sale in a department store in 2018 for f 340, 000. If you want to jet around your own hometown, it’s time to start saving—or to work for Richard Browning.
24．What do we know about Richard
A．He was absorbed in flight. B．He is no stranger to misfortune.
C．He is slow in making up his mind. D．He started his company with his father.

The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most diverse places in America, a wonderful place filled with people from all backgrounds. Each of them drew something different from their own experience. Their stories are the focus of Status Update, an exhibition of 14 projects offered by Dundon and former WIRED contributor Pete Brook. The show at SOMarts uses personal tales to show the Bay Area’s culture.
The Bay Area is a microcosm (缩影) of the national melting pot, a place where people of color comprise 58 percent of the overall population and are a majority in four of the region’s five countries, San Francisco in particular is the type of place where you can’ t walk down the street without hearing another language. Yet the change is not all for the better. The gap between rich and poor is widening at a frightening speed, and San Francisco is becoming less diverse as minorities escape from the city for more affordable communities elsewhere in the region.
Status Update reflects these changes and the challenges they bring. Joseph Rodriguez’s Faces of Foreclosure features quiet images of people like Ethel Gist, who lost her home in the East Bay suburb of Brentwood six years ago. Photographer Sam records Oakland resident Shannon and his efforts to provide for his daughter. And Laura Morton documents millennials (千禧一代 )hoping to make their way to the top in Silicon Valley in her series Wild West Tech.
Status Update starts a conversation about how the Bay Area is changing, and what people can do to build up a more just equitable (公正的) society. “I hope people walk away from this show with a little more respect for our neighbors and communities and the ways we depend on one another.” Dundon says. “we’re all out here together”
28．What are the artworks in Status Update mainly about
A．The real lives of people in the Bay Area. B．The beautiful construction of the Bay Area.
C．The friendliness of people in the Bay Area. D．The technological development of the Bay Area.
29．What is happening in San Francisco
A．It is facing a rapid economic slowdown.
B．The population has been falling in recent years.
C．More and more local people tend to speak the same language.
D．It is getting harder and harder for minorities to afford their lives.
30．What’s the most suitable subject of Status Update
A．Sharing the successful experience of the Bay Area.
B．Recording the diversity and change of the Bay Area.
C．Introducing the long and rich history of the Bay Area.
D．Showing the past, the present and the future of the Bay Area.
31．What does Dundon expect of visitors
A．They can know more about themselves. B．They can open their hearts to other people.
C．They can respect the people around them. D．They can develop an interest in diverse cultures.

Nowadays, countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change. China says that most new vehicles sold by 2035 will be electric. The United Kingdom will ban new gas-powered cars in 2030. One of the world’s major automakers, General Motors (GM), announced that it would stop selling gas-powered cars by 2035.
The key to an electric future is batteries. Automakers are racing to pack the most energy into the smallest one. The lithium-ion battery is what powers our mobile devices, which can be recharged again and again. Making these batteries has an environmental cost. Lithium is taken from the earth, like the oil used to make gasoline. But the long-term cost is much smaller. “Once you burn gasoline, you can’t recycle it,” says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But when you use up a battery, you can still recycle the material.”
It’s up to governments to make electric cars accessible to everyone. National policies can help. In the United States, an electric Chevy Volt costs about $35, 000. Trancik says charging stations must also be made widely available. As part of an effort to fight climate change, America plans to build half a million of them in the US by 2030. She hopes enough charging stations will be built soon. “It’s important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them,” she says, “not just wealthier people.”
Last year, almost 5% of approximately 67 million new cars sold world widewere electric. For Venkat Viswanathan, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, green electricity is part of the solution to climate change, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees a future of solar powered homes and electric flying cars. “Soon, a plug in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car. It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future,” he says. “It will be a totally new world.”
32．Why are countries eager to promote electric cars
A．To reduce the cost of vehicles. B．To increase the availability of charging stations.
C．To promote solar-powered homes. D．To deal with climate change.
33．What does Trancik indicate about charging stations in Paragraph 3
A．They should come down in price. B．They may be unfairly laid out.
C．Enough of them have been built. D．They favor more ordinary people.
34．What can be inferred from Viswanathan’s words
A．Gas-powered cars will be cheaper. B．The price of batteries will drop sharply.
C．Electric vehicles will beat climate change. D．Green electricity will be widely used.
35．Which word best describes Trancik’s attitude to the lithium-ion battery
A．Positive. B．Skeptical.
C．Conservative. D．Disapproving.

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电动汽车的发展趋势和面临的一些问题。
【详情解析】
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Nowadays, countries are eager to get more electric cars on the road because moving away from gas-powered vehicles is vital to fighting climate change.(如今，各国都渴望让更多的电动汽车上路，因为摆脱燃油汽车对应对气候变化至关重要。)”可知，各国都渴望推广电动汽车是为了应对气候变化。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s important to put chargers where many different people can have access to them,” she says, “not just wealthier people.”(“重要的是要把充电站建在许多不同的人都可以使用的地方，”她说，“而不仅仅是富人。”)”可知，Trancik强调了充电站建设要兼顾富人和穷人，由此推知，她认为充电站的布局可能会不公平。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For Venkat Viswanathan, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, green electricity is part of the solution to climate change, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees a future of solar powered homes and electric flying cars.“Soon, a plug in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-powered car. It is now abundantly clear that electric is the future,” he says. “It will be a totally new world.”(卡内基梅隆大学机械工程教授Venkat Viswanathan认为，绿色电力是气候变化解决方案的一部分，而电动汽车仅仅是个开始。他看到了太阳能家庭和电动飞行汽车的未来。“很快，插电式汽车可能会像汽油动力汽车一样便宜。现在非常清楚的是，电力是未来。”他说，“这将是一个全新的世界。”)”可推知，Viswanathan认为电动汽车只是一个开始，电动汽车、太阳能家庭和电动飞行汽车是未来，预示着绿色电力将得到广泛应用。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据第二段中““Once you burn gasoline, you can’t recycle it,” says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But when you use up a battery, you can still recycle the material.”(“一旦你燃烧了汽油，你就不能回收了，”麻省理工学院的研究员Jessika Trancik说。“但当电池用完时，你仍然可以回收这种材料。”)”可推知，在Trancik看来，锂电池用完可以回收，所以他对锂电池持积极的态度。故选A。

I’m standing on Rio’s beach, one of the most famous 41 of sand. In this lively, multicultural country, the beach is not just a place;it’s a state of mind—a way of thinking and living.
Every Brazilian has his or her own ideas of the perfect beach, 42 to tell you where to find it. I’m happy to take their advice but my ultimate goal is to find my own dream beach. First, I go to Prainha’s beach 43 by a row of perfect palm trees, moving softly in the ocean breeze. Its beauty is magnificent-its perfect graceful lines are like something in a 44 . But for me, it’s somewhat too perfect. I am searching for something a bit 45 .
I continue my search heading north to a legendary beach: Jeri. As an international destination, it attracts visitors from Tokyo to Toronto. Luckily, Jeri hasn’t been 46 by tourists mostly because of its isolated(偏远的)location—at least five hours from any airport. I take a beach buggy(沙地车), driving for three hours. The boats lie on their sides while nets 47 to dry on lines between fishermen’s houses. Peaceful and beautiful! How can it possibly get any better I 48 .

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。
Opening presents carefully selected by our parents is our family tradition on Christmas morning, which always pushes the festive atmosphere to the climax. However, this year’s Christmas seemed not as happy as usual.
It was Christmas Eve when my sister and I decided to open our presents before our mom got home from work. Though worried about ruining my mom’s original plan, we still wanted to sneak a peek (偷看) at the gifts in advance, driven by a strong impulse of curiosity. Since my sister was older, and that put her in charge, she opened the first gift while I was ordered to stand guard at the big picture window in our front room. I was to report any suspicious activity or person, namely our mother, who can easily capture the details of life.
I was so excited that I could barely stand still. I also couldn’t keep my eyes on the window very long. My head moved from the window to my sister and back to the window again. I felt like I was watching a Ping-Pong match.
“All right!” my sister shouted. She pulled out a jewelry box. “You know what that means, don’t you ”
I jumped up and down. “Yeah, it’s my turn!”
“No,” she said. “It means that there must be some jewelry under here.” I watched my sister rummaging (翻寻) through the presents under the tree, trying to find one she thought was small enough to be a necklace or earrings.
“Hey, that’s not fair!” I complained, stomping my foot.
“Are you watching for Mom ” is all that she said. I couldn’t do anything except stand guard as she opened present after present. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied and she had finished wrapping her last present back up, we traded places.
My heart hammered so hard that it felt like my chest was moving in and out. My sister reminded me to be careful so I wouldn’t tear the paper, and to wrap the present back up the same way that I had found it.
After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek inside. “Headphones! How can my mom know what I want! Without any hesitation, I pulled the headphones out of the box.

【参考答案】
Paragraph 1
I was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Mom’s coming!” My heart hit the floor along with the headphones when I heard my sister’s shout. My body was as frozen as a snowman. “Come on!” My sister’s face was as white as the paint on the wall. I shoved the headphones back in the box but my hands were shaking so much that I tore the paper trying to wrap it back up. My sister was yelling at me, which only made my hands shake more. My heart pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick. “Just shove it under the tree and put some presents on top of it!” my sister shouted as she ran to stall my mother. I had just finished burying the package with my head-phones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!” She smiled at me and said, “Hi,” back, but didn’t appear to suspect a thing. My heart began to slow as I took a deep breath. That was close. Too close!
Paragraph 2
Christmas morning finally approached, and we were ready to open our presents again! I tore the paper from the box, I exclaimed out “Headphones!”. After everything had been opened, my sister and I exchanged glances and pretended as if nothing had happened the night before. This slightly suspicious eye contact seemed to be discovered by my mother, who had an acute sense of every detail in life. Unexpectedly, she still squeezed a faint smile and didn’t reveal the fact. Our secret was seemingly safe, but somehow that Christmas morning didn’t feel the same. What we had done spoiled my mother’s original plan of giving us a surprise, and even ruined our festive atmosphere of Christmas. From then on, my sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again, because each wrapped gift is a carrier of family love, which should be unwrapped at a proper time.
【语篇解读】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和姐姐出于好奇，在圣诞节前一天偷偷打开了妈妈准备的圣诞礼物，虽然在打开礼物的过程中充满了“惊险刺激”，但是，事实证明，提前打开圣诞节礼物导致了圣诞节当天拆礼物环节的气氛和心境的破坏。这样的经历使得作者和姐姐自那以后，再也没有提前拆过圣诞节礼物。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“I was about to put them on when my sister shouted, ‘Quick! Mom’s coming!’(我正要戴上耳机时，姐姐喊道：“快!妈妈来了！”)”可知，第一段可描写作者听到妈妈来了之后的反应，紧张的动作，害怕的心理描写，以及在妈妈发现之前及时地掩盖了自己的行径。
②由第二段首句内容“Christmas morning finally approached, and we were ready to open our presents again!(圣诞节的早晨终于来了，我们又准备拆开礼物了！)”可知，第二段可描写圣诞节早晨再一次拆礼物的过程和心境，以及这次经历的感受。
2.续写线索：“我”要试戴耳机——听到妈妈回来了时“我”的紧张状态——放回耳机时出现意外——将礼物藏好——未被妈妈怀疑时的庆幸——圣诞节早晨拆礼物——假装惊喜——妈妈没有拆穿秘密——感受
