For my second career, as a weather forecaster (预报员), I jerked on the Canadian Plains, which is the second-best place to chase (追逐) severe weather, after Tornado Alley. I was also studying for a degree in Meteorology so I could interpret weather data and make my own forecasts. I didn’t want to be looked at as someone silly who didn’t know what she was talking about. Around that time, a photographer friend invited me to chase with him in the Alley for a month. I said sure; I wanted to learn everything I could.
During my second round in 2013, I got to see the largest tornado in recorded history—on the very fat day of the chase season. We were waiting in this dark and dirty gas-station parking lot in El Reno, Oklahoma. Chasers do that a lot. We sit around in groups waiting and eating junk food. The forecast called it a high-risk day, and finally, a tornado rolled in around 5: 30 p. m.
It started out as a little cloud and then turned into a 60,000-foot thunderstorm in maybe 20 minutes. We jumped in our car and raced toward it. A few minutes later I was looking out the window, filming this massive wall of what seemed like rain. We thought the tornado was hidden inside. But then I saw it taking shape and felt it sucking in wind. That’s when I realized that wall was the tornado itself it was around 2.6 miles across with winds nearly 300 miles per hour. It was explosive.
We hurried to be out of there. Cars packed the roads. All we could see were brake lights. We feared we’d be stuck. But in a few minutes, it was over.
Three storm chasers died that day, just up the road from where we’d been stuck. That had never happened before, So yeah, I wondered why I would risk going out again. But then the next chase season called me back.
24．Why did the author agree to chase tornadoes with her photographer friend
A．To earn credits for her degree. B．To forecast the weather on site.
C．To interpret weather data for the friend. D．To improve her profession performance.
25．What can we learn from paragraphs 2 and 3
A．tornadoes occur once in a chase season. B． tornadoes are hidden behind a wall of rain.
C．Chasing tornadoes require time and patience. D．Chasing tornadoes involves group competition.
26．Which of the following words can best describe the author
A．Efficient and committed. B．Enthusiastic and brave.
C．Traditional and ambitious. D．Determined and talented.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．On the move B．Not a weather girl C．Season of chase D．A narrow escape

Under normal circumstances, falling asleep during a paid tour is a waste of money or an offense to your guide at worst. But that’s not the case with this new experience coming out of Hong Kong. As its name suggests, the Sleeping Bus Tour is designed to help passengers catch some sleep, and rides are already selling out.
A 2022 survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Center of Communication and Public Opinion notes almost 70% respondents experiences some form of sleep disorder. Hong Kongers have much stress from work and need a space for sleeping, but their living spaces are too small. Some may not live alone and have to share apartments with their family, which may not be a good environment for a proper rest.
After noticing passengers falling asleep on their buses, the Hong Kong tour company, Ulu Travel Agency, recently launched such an innovative way for adults to sleep: the Sleeping Bus Tour. The five-hour bus ride takes passengers on an 83-kilometer(about 51.5 miles)journey aboard a regular double decker bus. Not only is the Sleeping Bus Tour the first of its kind, it’s also the longest bus route in Hong Kong, ensuring that tired passengers have plenty of time to enjoy some sleep.
Once passengers board the bus, they are treated with a goodie bag complete with an eye mask and earplugs to help them sleep and they are allowed to bring their own blankets and slippers. The long ride includes a few stops for scenic spots and bathroom breaks. Passengers can also get off the bus early at one of several drop-off points if they’d prefer to continue their sleep at home rather than complete the entire journey. Tickets for the Sleeping Bus Tour are divided in four categories from the “Zero-decibel(分贝)Sleeping Cabin“ to the ”VIP Cabin.” Prices range from about $17 USD to S115 USD per person. For more information on this unique experience, head to the Ulu travel company website.
28．What does the survey show
A．Hongkongers desire to live alone. B．Hongkongers can afford paid tours.
C．Hongkongers are under extreme stress. D．Most Hongkongers have trouble sleeping.
29．Why was the Sleeping Bus Tour launched
A．To improve the sleeping habits. B．To make more profits.
C．To reduce the stress from extra work. D．To help adult passengers rest properly.
30．What can a passenger get from the Sleeping Bus Tour
A．A ride in a high-tech bus. B．A guided sight-seeing tour.
C．A bag with sleep aid products. D．A blanket and a pair of slippers.
31．What is the purpose of the text
A．To introduce a bus tour. B．To inform readers of a new survey.
C．To advertise a travel company. D．To raise concerns over sleep problems.

Off southern California seashores, the newcomers are starting to approach and they desire the nice and comfortable waters nearer to shore, which mean many beachgoers who at the moment are enjoying themselves have by no means seen the white sharks earlier. “When the little guys begin to pop up, everybody hurries to determine what is happening,” stated Douglas J. MeCauley, a marine science professor.
A brand-new mission applying artificial intelligence (AI) referred to as SharkEye might help maintain observations of those fearsome fish at the beach and help our community share the ocean more safely with sharks. It was developed by Dr. MeCauley’s lab, using a small drone (无人机)—an unoccupied air vehicle equipped with a video camera. It once worked well in San Diego State College where scientists used it to study shark migrations.
SharkEye has been carrying out examinations over the past two summers at Padaro Beach in Santa Barbara County. It is a well-liked space for surf camps, which additionally turns out to be a nursery for young white sharks, featuring comfortable waters and adequate diet. Young sharks are usually sighted between April and October; however, hotspot locations and numbers can vary year by year. Adult sharks tend to spend more time offshore, but they can be sighed closer to the coast in the late fall through to February.
With SharkEye, a pilot launches a drone that travels along a preprogrammed path in the sky. It stays about 120 feet high, permitting it to rapidly scan a big space of the ocean. Meanwhile, it can be sufficient to keep away from bothering marine life. Researchers in the SharkEye program combine the visual data collected by the drone with relevant information on the temperature of the ocean and migratory patterns in order to create predictions about the likelihood of great whites showing up on a certain day, near a certain section of the beach.
Chris Keet, an area surf retailer, who provides summer season camps and personal classes at Padaro Beach, is now changing his enterprise(企业经营) based mostly on the SharkEye information. After SharkEye recorded 9 sightings of sharks in July, Mr. Keet determined to cancel a two-decade-old summer season custom—campers dive and swim out.
32．What does the underlined word “newcomers” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Drones. B．Swimmers. C．Sharks. D．Professors.
33．What is the new task for SharkEye
A．Observing shark migrations. B．Guaranteeing beachgoers’ safety.
C．Preserving endangered marine life. D．Exploring potential ocean resources.
34．What can be learned about Padaro Beach
A．It features an abundant supply of energy. B．It can almost be called a shelter for sharks.
C．It is a surf camp known for its friendly sharks. D．It offers evidence of harmony between humans and sharks
35．What is probably the best title for the text
A．Drones monitor sharks’ arrival. B．The pros and cons of SharkEye.
C．Businessmen turn technology into profits. D．The application of AI technology to marine life.

Our planet is always changing and its systems are constantly working together to keep a kind of balance. 36 .
All living things are connected to each other in ecosystems by food chains and food webs. 37 . Herbivores (species that don’t eat meat) get energy by eating plants. Carnivores (species that eat meat) get energy by eating herbivores.This is how energy flows through all ecosystems — starting from the sun.
38 , the survival of the entire system, along with every living thing that depends on it for survival, hangs in the balance. For example, if someone decides to spray a poisonous pesticide on plants to keep bugs from eating them, then lizards may accidentally take in that poison when they eat the plants and cats may be poisoned, too, when they catch and eat the lizards. 39 . Rats carry diseases that are even more dangerous for humans.
40 .If the eruption is very big, it could do a lot of damage besides killing thousands of people. A volcanic eruption spreads huge amounts of ash and gases into the atmosphere and around the globe, which could cause temperatures worldwide to fall. And when temperatures change dramatically like this, it affects crop patterns and could lead to massive food shortages.
A．Plants get energy from the sun
B．Another example is when a volcano erupts
C．When any one part of an ecosystem chain breaks
D．If we don’t take measures to protect our environment
E．With no cats around, the rat population could explode
F．All forms of life depend on this balance for their existence
G．These gases help keep the world from being too hot or too cold

A Mirror of Chinese culture
What comes to mind when you think of kung fu If your mind 56 (fill) with images of Shaolin monks, Bruce Lee, jaw-dropping stunts or Kung Fu Panda, you won’t be wrong. But for Laurence J Brahm, an American documentary filmmaker, the first thing 57 springs to mind is the concept of non-violence.
“Kung fu, in my eyes, is a mirror of Chinese culture,” Brahm said. “The 58 (tradition) values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people.”
“China adopts a policy of not 59 (want) to have conflict with other countries. Why does China want to be in harmony 60 other nations It’s part of the psychology of the Chinese people. It’s also national psychology.”
Brahm also believes today’s world 61 (urgent) needs to restart equal exchanges between countries without stereotypes (旧习) and 62 culture and sports, such as kung fu, can serve as 63 great channel and platform.
“In the same way, ping pong ball as a cultural and sports exchange 64 (open) relations for China with the west in the 1970s, kung fu can become the new cultural diplomacy (外交) of our time, 65 (bring) people together in mutual sharing of skills and culture, and furthering respect and understanding.”

67．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。
Everyone in my drama class saw the paper in my hands shaking when I stood up to try out for a lead role in the yearly school Thanksgiving play. I was there because the teacher wanted everyone to try out for a part.
Being shy and not confident, I began nervously reading the part for the main character, Star. She had no parents. Feeling so sorry for her, I finished reading.
Later when reading the name list, the teacher looked at me and announced, “Patty, you play e and get your script (剧本).”I was shocked. Jim, an excellent boy, was playing the other lead.To learn my lines, I practiced every day and finally memorized them. I became more confident and happier.
Then we started practising acting. Jim played the character, a Scrooge (吝啬鬼), who is unwilling to put a candle in his window so that the light will show passers-by the slippery ice on the path below. On the Thanksgiving day, Star comes along, falls on the ice and gets injured.
Finally feeling bad, the Scrooge helps her up. To thank him, Star kisses his hand.
One day, before our drama class started, I saw a terrible drawing of me on the blackboard with words: Falling Star. I was laughed at by someone.
The teacher asked,“Who did this ” Nobody knew. We started rehearsing (排练), but my heart wasn’t in it. The teacher told me not to care about the silly trick; it wouldn’t happen again. But I was sad and anxious, wanting to quit. Finally I moved on and continually worked hard for the play.
Soon it was the day before the show. It was time for the dress rehearsal. I was excited. Everything went smoothly at the dress rehearsal until the scene where I slipped on the ice and the Scrooge helped me up.
When I kissed his hand, a terrible noise and laughter sounded from behind the set. I quickly left the stage and hurried into an empty room. With tears, I said, “I can’t do it. Please get someone else!”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder.

The following Thanksgiving day, we were ready for the play.

M: That’s very nice of you all, Susan, but I think it would be best for me to go to the hotel. I have to meet some customers at our branch company early this afternoon. How about you have dinner with me tonight
W: Jack, you simply have to come to my home for dinner tonight. I really hope you can accept my sincere invitation.

【原文】Salt Lake City is the capital of Utah, one of the U.S. states. With a population of about 200,000, it has an area of 110.4 square miles and an average height of 4327 feet above sea level. Salt Lake City was founded in 1847, and due to its short distance from the Great Salt Lake, the city was originally named “Great Salt Lake City”. However, the word “great” was taken out from the official name in 1868. In the early 1900s, the settlers from other countries and the construction of railroad began to bring economic growth to the city, and people started to call it the Crossroads of the West. Since then, Salt Lake City has developed a strong tourist industry based on outdoor activities, and hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. The city is surrounded by mountains, so apart from winter sports, summer activities such as hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking are very popular as well. Besides, many small rivers in the mountains are popular destinations for boating, fishing and other water-related activities. Salt Lake City is also known as a bicycle-friendly city. Many streets in the city have bike paths, and the city has even published a bicycle map.

24．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I was also studying for a degree in Meteorology so I could interpret weather data and make my own forecasts.(我还在攻读气象学学位，这样我就可以解释天气数据并做出自己的预测。)”可知，作者正在攻读气象学学位；再根据最后一句“I said sure; I wanted to learn everything I could.(我说当然可以；我想尽我所能去学习一切。)”可知，作者同意朋友的提议，是想加强专业知识。故选D。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段“We were waiting in this dark and dirty gas-station parking lot in El Reno, Oklahoma. Chasers do that a lot. We sit around in groups waiting and eating junk food. The forecast called it a high-risk day, and finally, a tornado rolled in around 5: 30 p. m.(我们在俄克拉荷马州埃尔里诺一个又黑又脏的加油站停车场里等着。追逐手经常这样做。我们围坐在一起等着吃垃圾食品。天气预报称这是高风险的一天，最后，龙卷风在下午5点30分左右袭来。) ”可知，追逐龙卷风需要付出时间和耐心。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“I said sure; I wanted to learn everything I could.(我说当然可以；我想尽我所能去学习一切。)”可知，作者是一个很热心学习的人；再根据倒数第二段“We hurried to be out of there. Cars packed the roads. All we could see were brake lights. We feared we’d be stuck. But in a few minutes, it was over. (我们赶紧离开那里。道路上挤满了汽车。我们只能看到刹车灯。我们害怕我们会被困在那儿。但几分钟后，一切都结束了。)”以及最后一段“But then the next chase season called me back. (但接下来的追逐季又在召唤我了)”可知，作者很勇敢。故选B。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“For my second career, as a weather forecaster（预报员）, I jerked on the Canadian Plains, which is the second-best place to chase（追逐）severe weather, after Tornado Alley.(作为一名天气预报员，我在加拿大平原度过了我的第二职业，那里是追逐恶劣天气的第二好地方，仅次于Tornado Alley。)”可知，作者准备从事天气预报员这一职业；而根据下文可知，作者勇敢地和朋友一起追逐龙卷风。由此可知，文章主要讲述的是作者不仅仅是气象预报员，还喜欢上了追逐了龙卷风。所以“Not a weather girl(不是一名气象女孩)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了香港推出的一项新的旅游方式“睡眠巴士之旅”。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“A 2022 survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Center of Communication and Public Opinion notes almost 70% respondents experiences some form of sleep disorder. Hong Kongers have much stress from work and need a space for sleeping, but their living spaces are too small.”（香港中文大学传播与舆论中心2022年的一项调查显示，近70%的受访者患有某种形式的睡眠障碍。香港人工作压力很大，需要一个睡觉的空间，但他们的生活空间太小。）可知，调查显示大多数香港人都有睡眠问题。故选D项。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段“Hong Kongers have much stress from work and need a space for sleeping, but their living spaces are too small”（香港人工作压力很大，需要一个睡觉的空间，但他们的生活空间太小）；再根据第三段“Not only is the Sleeping Bus Tour the first of its kind, it’s also the longest bus route in Hong Kong, ensuring that tired passengers have plenty of time to enjoy some sleep.”（这不仅是香港首条睡眠巴士之旅，也是香港最长的巴士路线，确保疲惫的乘客有充足的时间享受睡眠。）可知，推出“睡眠巴士之旅”的目的是帮助成年乘客适当休息。故选D项。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段“Once passengers board the bus, they are treated with a goodie bag complete with an eye mask and earplugs to help them sleep and they are allowed to bring their own blankets and slippers.”（乘客一旦登上公交车，就会得到一个装有眼罩和耳塞的礼品袋，帮助他们入睡，还可以自带毯子和拖鞋）可知，乘客可以从“睡眠巴士之旅”中得到一袋帮助睡眠的产品。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。通读全文以及第一段“As its name suggests, the Sleeping Bus Tour is designed to help passengers catch some sleep, and rides are already selling out.”（顾名思义，“睡眠巴士之旅”旨在帮助乘客睡上一觉，目前门票已经售罄。）以及下文对“睡眠巴士之旅”具体的说明可知，短文的目的是介绍一个巴士之旅。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了由于“鲨鱼入侵海岸”，一项新的人工智能“鲨鱼眼”被引入使用。该程序使用无人机对海岸进行监视，观察靠近海岸的危险鱼类，以使人们能够与鲨鱼和平共享海滩。
32．词义猜测题。根据前后语境分析可知，后文的主语“they”指代画线词“newcomers”，根据前文“Off southern California seashores(在南加州海岸附近)”以及后文“they desire the nice and comfortable waters nearer to shore(它们渴望靠近海岸的美丽而舒适的水域)”可推知，之前的位置是在海岸附近，想要靠近近海水域，由此可推知，“newcomers”应是来自海洋的生物，同时结合后文中“the white sharks(大白鲨)”用定冠词“the”表达特指可推知，“newcomers”指的是“鲨鱼”。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“A brand-new mission applying artificial intelligence (AI) referred to as SharkEye might help maintain observations of those fearsome fish at the beach and help our community share the ocean more safely with sharks.(一项名为“鲨鱼眼”的应用人工智能的新任务可能有助于保持对海滩上那些可怕鱼类的观察，并帮助我们的社区更安全地与鲨鱼共享海洋。)”可知，“鲨鱼眼”的新任务是帮助观察海滩上的可怕鱼类，以帮助人们更安全地“享受海滩”。故选B项。
34．推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“It is a well-liked space for surf camps, which additionally turns out to be a nursery for young white sharks, featuring comfortable waters and adequate diet. Young sharks are usually sighted between April and October; however, hotspot locations and numbers can vary year by year. Adult sharks tend to spend more time offshore, but they can be sighed closer to the coast in the late fall through to February.(这是一个很受欢迎的冲浪营地，也是小白鲨的托儿所，拥有舒适的水域和充足的食物。幼鲨通常在4月到10月之间出现；然而，热点的位置和数量每年都在变化。成年鲨鱼倾向于在近海度过更多的时间，但它们可以在深秋到2月期间更靠近海岸。)”可知，这里拥有舒适的水域和充足的食物，是小白鲨的托儿所，而成年鲨会在深秋到次年2月份靠近海岸，由此可推知，这里可以说是鲨鱼的“家”或“庇护所”。故选B项。
35．主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章的第二段内容“A brand-new mission applying artificial intelligence (AI) referred to as SharkEye might help maintain observations of those fearsome fish at the beach and help our community share the ocean more safely with sharks. It was developed by Dr. MeCauley’s lab, using a small drone—an unoccupied air vehicle equipped with a video camera.(一项名为“鲨鱼眼”的应用人工智能的新任务可能有助于保持对海滩上那些可怕鱼类的观察，并帮助我们的社区更安全地与鲨鱼共享海洋。它是由麦考利博士的实验室开发的，使用的是一架小型无人机——一种配备了摄像机的无人驾驶飞行器。)”提出了文章的核心话题，即，文章主要讲述了人工智能“鲨鱼眼”使用无人机保持对海滩上那些可怕鱼类的观察，帮助人类与鲨鱼共享海洋。选项A“Drones monitor sharks’ arrival.(无人机监视鲨鱼的到来。)”贴合文章主旨，可作最佳标题。故选A项。

67．One possible version:
Suddenly, I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. I heard voices and a warm hand took mine. I looked up and saw concerned faces. Jim and several other classmates had come after me. “Please, don’t drop out...” they said and tried to comfort me. Later, the teacher found the troublemaker Peter, who loved making silly tricks. And he apologized to me. Encouraged by my friendly teacher and so many kind classmates, I went back onstage and finished the scene with no further interruptions.
The following Thanksgiving day, we were ready for the play. Throughout the performance, we could hear laughter from the audience from time to time. When the performance was over, they gave us a big round of applause. In the following weeks, schoolmates often came up to say, “You were good!” I was glad my hard work and determination as well as many people’s support had helped me to perform successfully. It positively shaped my later life.
