A
Check out these places and have the vacation of a lifetime in Greece!
1. Lovely Ithaca
Located on the Ionian Sea, Ithaca is a combination of the greenest landscapes in Greece, the most wonderful swimming waters and a lively local atmosphere. When going around the narrow island, you will be attracted by the hilltop village Stavros and the beautiful fishing village Frikes. For motorists, Kaminia beach, hidden in a peaceful cove, is the perfect destination for a day of relaxation.
2. Breathtaking Meteora
Although when you go to Greece you often go to the beaches and islands, one of the must-visit destinations in Greece is definitely the breathtakingly beautiful Meteora, located on the mainland next to the village of Kalabaka. It is a natural attraction and the second most important monastic area in Greece, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meteora’s landscape is made special by the rocks shaped like columns (柱状物) over time, on which the Monasteries (修道院) of the area were built around the 14th and 16th centuries.
3. Ios－the favorite destination of the future
Ios may be left out of many people’s plans as it is known as a party island, but in fact the party season only lasts from about half of June to mid-August. In the off-season, the island is very quiet compared to popular destinations such as Santorini. Of course, Ios is an absolute destination for party-goers even in midsummer. Ios is dotted with a number of small churches. What makes Ios interesting is its setting for an ideal holiday without crowds and noise. Here is a guaranteed hit of the future, waiting to be discovered!

A. In Ithaca. B. In Meteora. C. In Ios. D. In Santorini.
22. What can travelers see in Meteora
A. Beautiful fishing villages. B. Historical buildings.
C. Beaches and islands. D. Special local foods.

C. There are many places of interest. D. It is popular with party-goers.
B
In the digital age, opportunities are arising for everyone. However, only those putting plans into action can stay ahead. Alexandr Wang is one such example.
Los Alamos National Laboratory was where Alexandr spent his childhood. Both his parents were physicists there. Alexandr, from a young age, had a sharp mind. As a kid, he was regarded as a math wizard (奇才) and competed in national math and computer competitions. Finishing high school, Alexandr entered MIT where machine learning and AI amazed him. He saw the potential (潜力) of AI, and was excited about how it could change the world. But it wasn’t making a real impact. His ambition to set up a company in that field was seeded then.
At 17, he got the role of tech lead at Quora and dropped out of MIT. “I told my parents it was just going to be a thing I did for the summer. Obviously, it wasn’t,” Alexandr said. Surely, his parents were disappointed. They all knew he made that change filled with unexpected risks. But Alexandr said, “If you aren’t willing to take a risk now, then when ” Alexandr met Lucy Guo at Quora, with whom Alexandr founded Scale AI, which turned out to be a considerable success.
In fact, at that time, there were various opportunities in the tech world. It was hard to decide which road they should go down. Then he and his team decided to take a different approach—instead of following diverse paths, they agreed to focus on one. They went with “imagery, computer vision and other kinds of sensor data”. And that is what made the company’s profits rise quickly. Scale AI has a net worth of about $7.3 billion at present, with Alexandr being the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.
When asked lessons he’d like to share with founders, Alexandr stated there are a number of things. “The top one is always doing things that go with your values and how you want to build a company at the beginning. When you talk to investors (投资者) they’ll contribute advice that may go against your goal. Figure out your focus and what gets you started.”
24. What inspired Alexandr to build Scale Al
A. The work at Quora. B. His experiences at university.
C. The influence of his parents. D. His talent for math and computer.
25. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A The key to the success of Scale AI. B. Challenges of Alexandr’s career.
C. Alexandr’s great achievements. D. The process of founding Scale Al
26. What did Alexandr advise founders to do
A. Stick to one particular direction. B. Keep an open mind on suggestions.
C. Remain true to the original aim. D. Find a friend to start a company.
27. Which of the following can best describe Alexandr
A. Clever and generous. B. Bravery and outgoing.
C. Ambitious and sociable. D. Adventurous and determined.
C
21 Spoons is a restaurant aimed at bringing back the appeal of intimate (亲密的) dining. “This restaurant kind of fell into my lap,” says chef and owner Ann Butler, “I own the cooking school next door to it, and this space was empty for quite some time, and it seemed to be saying, ‘Do you want me ’”
After working in Fairfax and Chesterfield public schools, Butler started her cooking school, Edible Education, 12 years ago, hoping to change the dietary habits of kids.
The occurrence of the pandemic halted Butler’s cooking classes, as students were unable to attend in person. “We didn’t have any kids taking classes,” she says. “I didn’t know how long it’d be before we saw students again, so I thought, we got to do something.” So, Butler opened 21 Spoons in March of 2021, focused on small plates and shared bites from ratatouille flatbread to deep-fried deviled eggs.
“I took it over at a time when everyone was closing their restaurants in Richmond,” Butler says. This allowed her to start her new business in a way that made people feel more at ease during such a stressful time. Butler says the service and size of the restaurant-24 seats are what make people feel more comfortable and what allow them to open during the pandemic. “We opened during a time when everyone was scared, so we wanted to build a space where you could come and rest, back to old-school, old-fashioned service.”
Butler says the architectural plat (建筑区) for the space was unit 20. “I saw somewhere that a chef has 39 spoons” she says, “and it was unit 20, so I thought, ‘How about 21Spoons ’ since we opened in 2021.”
While Butler says there’ll be no 22 Spoons, she describes 21 Spoons as a “creative gift”, allowing her to combine passions and build something beautiful for the community.
28. What does the underlined word “halted” mean in paragraph 3
A. Stopped. B. Improved. C. Added. D. Reduced.
29. Which word best describes the atmosphere of eating in 21 Spoons
A. Amazing. B. Inspiring. C. Relaxing. D. Touching.
30. Why is unit 20 mentioned in the text
A. It is where the restaurant is currently located.
B. It started Butler’s passion for the food industry.
C. It is associated with the menu of the restaurant.
D. It offered inspiration for naming the restaurant.
31. In which section of a website can we probably read the text
A. History and education. B. Food and drink.
C. Art and music. D. Shopping and style.
D
Aerospace engineers are working on air vehicles-that will be used to drop packages on your doorsteps, transport people and goods over shorter distances and could even give people the ability to call air taxis-to fundamentally change how we see the sky.
What helps the engineers get ready for the change Batteries keep getting smaller. Materials to build the air vehicles are lighter than ever, Software is more sophisticated. A modern cockpit(驾驶舱)from 20 years ago can’t do half as much as the phone in your pocket. These modernizations have enabled a greater focus on electric technology in flying over the past 15 years. It’s changed the way they fly.
Maybe soon you will be walking down the street to a vertiport where you’ll catch an air taxi. We’re likely to see one with a pilot, carrying boxes from one place to another. Then it will start flying with passengers and become pilotless. As the new plane becomes more common, the result could be something as simple as cutting down travel time within urban and suburban areas, making it slightly easier to get to the airport or from the suburbs to downtown. But the planes could also help get rid of “transportation deserts,” making it easier for a doctor to reach a patient in a rural area who has limited access to a hospital.
However, there are still a lot of outstanding questions. There are safety measures and requirements that need to be developed. There is pilot training and workforce development. There’s the cost. There’s figuring out who would use this type of transportation. There are still more advances in technology that need to happen if you want them to go farther than 150 miles and to be unmanned. But, according to Hackenberg of NASA, “About the future, it’s not an if; it’s a when.”
32. What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Fashionable. B. Advanced. C. Conventional. D. Flexible.
33. Why is “transportation deserts’” mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To present a fact. B. To explain a principle.
C. To highlight an advantage. D. To make a prediction.
34. What does Hackenberg think of the practice
A. Promising. B. Challenging. C. Simple. D. Creative.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Air Taxis: Say “No” to Traffic Jam
B. Air Taxis: Private Flight for Business
C. Ready for Air Taxis
D. How do Air Taxis Work

People think being a delivery person is easy, but it’s more complex than anyone can imagine. Although Harry always did his best, he was not able to afford a car. He used his motorbike to deliver orders and usually it was convenient except for severe weather conditions.
One day, he was trying to get off the highway when he saw an old beggar trying to cross the road. He was weak and looked cold in his dirty jacket. The honks (鸣笛) of cars echoed as they passed him, and the man backed away with fear. If that kept going, someone would run over the man, so Harry stopped to help him cross.
Harry grabbed the man’s arm to guide him and started leading him through it. Luckily, they reached the other side after a few minutes, and the old beggar smiled brightly at him. “Thank you so much, young man. I can’t believe I finally crossed. Can you tell me your address I want to send a thank-you gift.” the older man said, reaching for Harry.
“Oh, that’s not necessary.” Harry said and straightened his motorbike to get back on it. “Please. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t repay this kind gesture,” he insisted, and Harry nodded, telling him his address. Still, he didn’t expect anything from this poor older man. “Thank you again!” the senior beggar waved as Harry rolled away to continue working.
Harry lived in a nice neighborhood but because the pandemic cost him his job, and now food delivery was his entire livelihood. Some days he had to work 18 hours to make ends meet. He was his children’s only parent because his wife had abandoned them long ago, and Harry was determined to build a promising future for them, even if he didn’t have a car to make those deliveries properly. He was saving for that.
注意：
However, he found a brand new car in his garage the following day.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The sincerity in the old man’s face couldn’t be denied.

On the cards, children often write, “Thanks, Mom”, “To the best mother in the world” and so on. Then where did the idea for the holiday come from We should thank Miss Anna Marie Jarvis. It is she who brought up the idea of having such a day. She lived in West Virginia. Anna’s mother was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues (问题). Her mother died on May 9th, 1905. On the anniversary of her mother’s death, she invited some friends to an informal memorial meeting. In 1907, a church service was held on her mother’s death anniversary. Anna’s love for her mother moved other people. Besides, she wrote letters to important persons of the country suggesting a public holiday to honor all mothers. In 1914, the United States Congress agreed that the second Sunday in May should be appointed as Mother’s Day. Finally, the decision was announced by President Wilson.

【原文】W: Hello everyone! Welcome to our program. So, today I’ll talk about some big shopping events and their history.
The first one is Black Friday. This one dates back to the 1950s and falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Originally, it started as an event within stores. But now it’s an online and offline shopping festival. Cyber Monday is the Monday after Black Friday, and it’s only for online sales. It began in 2005. Now it’s more successful than Black Friday, earning a record $9.4 billion last year. Sales tend to be on expensive technology items, like computers.
We’re all familiar with Singles Day. It dates back to the 1990s but didn’t become a shopping event until 2009. Since then, it’s become the biggest 24-hour sales event in the world. Last year, this shopping event earned $38.4 billion, beating out Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Prime Day is basically the North American version of Double 11. It was started in 2015. For shoppers like me that love small parts and home devices, Prime is a great time. But it still falls far behind Singles Day and only earned $7.16 billion last year.

1. Lovely Ithaca
Located on the Ionian Sea, Ithaca is a combination of the greenest landscapes in Greece, the most wonderful swimming waters and a lively local atmosphere. When going around the narrow island, you will be attracted by the hilltop village Stavros and the beautiful fishing village Frikes. For motorists, Kaminia beach, hidden in a peaceful cove, is the perfect destination for a day of relaxation.
2. Breathtaking Meteora
Although when you go to Greece, you often go to the beaches and islands, one of the must-visit destinations in Greece is definitely the breathtakingly beautiful Meteora, located on the mainland next to the village of Kalabaka. It is a natural attraction and the second most important monastic area in Greece, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meteora’s landscape is made special by the rocks shaped like columns (柱状物) over time, on which the Monasteries (修道院) of the area were built around the 14th and 16th centuries.
3. Ios－the favorite destination of the future
Ios may be left out of many people’s plans as it is known as a party island, but in fact the party season only lasts from about half of June to mid-August. In the off-season, the island is very quiet compared to popular destinations such as Santorini. Of course, Ios is an absolute destination for party-goers even in midsummer. Ios is dotted with a number of small churches. What makes Ios interesting is its setting for an ideal holiday without crowds and noise. Here is a guaranteed hit of the future, waiting to be discovered!

In the digital age, opportunities are arising for everyone. However, only those putting plans into action can stay ahead. Alexandr Wang is one such example.
Los Alamos National Laboratory was where Alexandr spent his childhood. Both his parents were physicists there. Alexandr, from a young age, had a sharp mind. As a kid, he was regarded as a math wizard (奇才) and competed in national math and computer competitions. Finishing high school, Alexandr entered MIT where machine learning and AI amazed him. He saw the potential (潜力) of AI, and was excited about how it could change the world. But it wasn’t making a real impact. His ambition to set up a company in that field was seeded then.
At 17, he got the role of tech lead at Quora and dropped out of MIT. “I told my parents it was just going to be a thing I did for the summer. Obviously, it wasn’t,” Alexandr said. Surely, his parents were disappointed. They all knew he made that change filled with unexpected risks. But Alexandr said, “If you aren’t willing to take a risk now, then when ” Alexandr met Lucy Guo at Quora, with whom Alexandr founded Scale AI, which turned out to be a considerable success.
In fact, at that time, there were various opportunities in the tech world. It was hard to decide which road they should go down. Then he and his team decided to take a different approach—instead of following diverse paths, they agreed to focus on one. They went with “imagery, computer vision and other kinds of sensor data”. And that is what made the company’s profits rise quickly. Scale AI has a net worth of about $7.3 billion at present, with Alexandr being the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.
When asked lessons he’d like to share with founders, Alexandr stated there are a number of things. “The top one is always doing things that go with your values and how you want to build a company at the beginning. When you talk to investors (投资者) they’ll contribute advice that may go against your goal. Figure out your focus and what gets you started.”
24. What inspired Alexandr to build Scale Al
A. The work at Quora. B. His experiences at university.
C. The influence of his parents. D. His talent for math and computer.
25. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A. The key to the success of Scale AI. B. Challenges of Alexandr’s career.
C. Alexandr’s great achievements. D. The process of founding Scale Al
26. What did Alexandr advise founders to do
A. Stick to one particular direction. B. Keep an open mind on suggestions.
C. Remain true to the original aim. D. Find a friend to start a company.
27. Which of the following can best describe Alexandr
A. Clever and generous. B. Bravery and outgoing.
C. Ambitious and sociable. D. Adventurous and determined.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Alexandr Wang自幼被认为是一个数学奇才，高中毕业后他进入麻省理工学院，在那里，机器学习和人工智能吸引了他。后来为了追求自己的志向，他毅然辍学白手起家，和Lucy Guo一起创建了公司Scale AI, 成为全球最年轻的亿万富翁。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Finishing high school, Alexandr entered MIT where machine learning and AI amazed him. He saw the potential of AI, and was excited about how it could change the world. But it wasn’t making a real impact. His ambition to set up an enterprise committed to that was seeded then.(高中毕业后，亚历山大进入麻省理工学院，机器学习和人工智能让他感到惊讶。他看到了人工智能的潜力，并对它将如何改变世界感到兴奋。但这并没有产生真正的影响。他建立一家致力于这一领域的企业的雄心在那时就被播下了种子。)” 可知，是大学的经历激发了Alexandr创建Scale AI，故选B。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“In fact, at that time, there were various opportunities in the tech world. It was hard to decide which road they should go down. Then he and his team decided to take a different approach — instead of following diverse paths, they agreed to focus on one. They went with “imagery, computer vision and other kinds of sensor data”. And that is what made the company’s profits rise quickly. Scale AI has a current net worth of about $7.3 billion, with Alexandr being the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.(事实上，在那个时候，科技界有各种各样的机会。很难决定他们该走哪条路。然后，他和他的团队决定采取一种不同的方法——他们同意专注于一条道路，而不是遵循不同的道路。他们选择了“图像、计算机视觉和其他类型的传感器数据”。这也是该公司利润迅速增长的原因。Scale AI目前的净资产约为73亿美元，亚历山大是世界上最年轻的白手起家亿万富翁。)”可知，第四段主要介绍了Scale AI成功的关键。故选A。

21 Spoons is a restaurant aimed at bringing back the appeal of intimate (亲密的) dining. “This restaurant kind of fell into my lap,” says chef and owner Ann Butler, “I own the cooking school next door to it, and this space was empty for quite some time, and it seemed to be saying, ‘Do you want me ’”
After working in Fairfax and Chesterfield public schools, Butler started her cooking school, Edible Education, 12 years ago, hoping to change the dietary habits of kids.
The occurrence of the pandemic halted Butler’s cooking classes, as students were unable to attend in person. “We didn’t have any kids taking classes,” she says. “I didn’t know how long it’d be before we saw students again, so I thought, we got to do something.” So, Butler opened 21 Spoons in March of 2021, focused on small plates and shared bites from ratatouille flatbread to deep-fried deviled eggs.
“I took it over at a time when everyone was closing their restaurants in Richmond,” Butler says. This allowed her to start her new business in a way that made people feel more at ease during such a stressful time. Butler says the service and size of the restaurant-24 seats are what make people feel more comfortable and what allow them to open during the pandemic. “We opened during a time when everyone was scared, so we wanted to build a space where you could come and rest, back to old-school, old-fashioned service.”
Butler says the architectural plat (建筑区) for the space was unit 20. “I saw somewhere that a chef has 39 spoons” she says, “and it was unit 20, so I thought, ‘How about 21Spoons ’ since we opened in 2021.”
While Butler says there’ll be no 22 Spoons, she describes 21 Spoons as a “creative gift”, allowing her to combine passions and build something beautiful for the community.
28. What does the underlined word “halted” mean in paragraph 3
A. Stopped. B. Improved. C. Added. D. Reduced.
29. Which word best describes the atmosphere of eating in 21 Spoons
A. Amazing. B. Inspiring. C. Relaxing. D. Touching.
30. Why is unit 20 mentioned in the text
A. It is where the restaurant is currently located.
B. It started Butler’s passion for the food industry.
C. It is associated with the menu of the restaurant.
D. It offered inspiration for naming the restaurant.
31. In which section of a website can we probably read the text
A History and education. B. Food and drink.
C. Art and music. D. Shopping and style.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家名为21 Spoons的餐厅，这家餐厅在流行病发生期间，给人们提供过了一个可以放松用餐的地方。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线单词句中“as students were unable to attend in person(因为学生无法亲自参加)”可知，因为流行病的发生，学生无法亲自到学校上课。由此可知，流行病的发生导致巴特勒的烹饪课停课了。由此推知，划线词halted与stopped“（使）停止”意思接近。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“This allowed her to start her new business in a way that made people feel more at ease during such a stressful time. Butler says the service and size of the restaurant-24 seats are what make people feel more comfortable and what allow them to open during the pandemic. (这让她能够以一种让人们在如此紧张的时间里感到更加放松的方式开始她的新生意。巴特勒表示，餐厅24个座位的服务和规模让人们感到更舒适，也让他们在疫情期间能够营业)”可推知，在21 Spoons的用餐氛围是令人放松的。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容“Butler says the architectural plat (建筑区) for the space was unit 20. “I saw somewhere that a chef has 39 spoons,” she says, “and it was unit 20, so I thought, ‘How about 21Spoons ’ since we opened in 2021.” (巴特勒说，这个空间的建筑平台是第二十单元。“我在某处看到一位厨师有39个勺子，”她说，“这是第二十单元，所以我想，‘21个勺子怎么样？’因为我们是从2021开业的。”)”可推知，文中提到第二十单元是因为它为餐厅命名提供了灵感。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“21 Spoons is a restaurant aimed at bringing back the appeal of intimate (亲密的) dining. (21 Spoons是一家旨在恢复亲密用餐吸引力的餐厅)”可知，本文主要介绍了一家名为21 Spoons的餐厅，这家餐厅在流行病发生期间，给人们提供过了一个可以放松用餐的地方。由此可知，这篇文章与饮食有关，我们可以在网站的食物和饮料部分阅读到这篇文章。故选B项。

Aerospace engineers are working on air vehicles-that will be used to drop packages on your doorsteps, transport people and goods over shorter distances and could even give people the ability to call air taxis-to fundamentally change how we see the sky.
What helps the engineers get ready for the change Batteries keep getting smaller. Materials to build the air vehicles are lighter than ever, Software is more sophisticated. A modern cockpit(驾驶舱)from 20 years ago can’t do half as much as the phone in your pocket. These modernizations have enabled a greater focus on electric technology in flying over the past 15 years. It’s changed the way they fly.
Maybe soon you will be walking down the street to a vertiport, where you’ll catch an air taxi. We’re likely to see one with a pilot, carrying boxes from one place to another. Then it will start flying with passengers and become pilotless. As the new plane becomes more common, the result could be something as simple as cutting down travel time within urban and suburban areas, making it slightly easier to get to the airport or from the suburbs to downtown. But the planes could also help get rid of “transportation deserts,” making it easier for a doctor to reach a patient in a rural area who has limited access to a hospital.
However, there are still a lot of outstanding questions. There are safety measures and requirements that need to be developed. There is pilot training and workforce development. There’s the cost. There’s figuring out who would use this type of transportation. There are still more advances in technology that need to happen if you want them to go farther than 150 miles and to be unmanned. But, according to Hackenberg of NASA, “About the future, it’s not an if; it’s a when.”
32. What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Fashionable. B. Advanced. C. Conventional. D. Flexible.
33. Why is “transportation deserts’” mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To present a fact. B. To explain a principle.
C. To highlight an advantage. D. To make a prediction.
34. What does Hackenberg think of the practice
A. Promising. B. Challenging. C. Simple. D. Creative.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Air Taxis: Say “No” to Traffic Jam
B. Air Taxis: Private Flight for Business
C. Ready for Air Taxis
D. How do Air Taxis Work
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究者们正在研究的空中飞行器将进入我们的生活，并给我们带来很多便利。即使目前仍有一些问题需要解决，其未来是充满希望的。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Batteries keep getting smaller. Materials to build the air vehicles are lighter than ever(电池越来越小。制造飞行器的材料比以往任何时候都轻)”和下文“These modernizations have enabled a greater focus on electric technology in flying over the past 15 years. (在过去的15年里，这些现代化使人们更加重视飞行中的电子技术。)”可知，现代化让电池越来越小，材料越来越轻，software（软件）也变得更先进，故划线词与advanced意思相近。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“As the new plane becomes more common, the result could be something as simple as cutting down travel time within urban and suburban areas, making it slightly easier to get to the airport or from the suburbs to downtown. But the planes could also help get rid of “transportation deserts,” making it easier for a doctor to reach a patient in a rural area who has limited access to a hospital.(随着新型飞机变得越来越普遍，其结果可能会很简单，比如减少市区和郊区的旅行时间，让去机场或从郊区到市中心变得更容易一些。但这些飞机也可以帮助消除“交通沙漠”，使医生更容易接触到农村地区就医受限的病人。)”可知，前文提到了新型费劲带来的便利，因此推断提到“transportation deserts”的消除是为了强调空中出租车的优势——带来便利。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But, according to Hackenberg of NASA, “About the future, it’s not an if; it’s a when.”(但是，根据美国宇航局的Hackenberg，“关于未来，这不是一个是否的问题；这是一个时间的问题。”)”因此，Hackenberg认为空中飞行器的实践是充满希望的、有前途的，只是时间问题。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Aerospace engineers are working on air vehicles-that will be used to drop packages on your doorsteps, transport people and goods over shorter distances and could even give people the ability to call air taxis-to fundamentally change how we see the sky.(航空航天工程师正在研究一种飞行器，它将被用来把包裹扔到你的门口，在更短的距离内运送人和货物，甚至可以让人们有能力叫空中出租车，从而从根本上改变我们看待天空的方式。)”和第三段第一句“Maybe soon you will be walking down the street to a vertiport, where you’ll catch an air taxi. (也许很快你就可以沿着街道走到一个垂直起降点，在那里你可以坐上一辆空中出租车。)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究者们正在研究的空中飞行器将进入我们的生活，并给我们带来很多便利。C项“Ready for Air Taxis ( 准备好坐飞空中出租车了吗 )”可以概括全文，且吸引眼球，适合作本文标题。故选C项。

Read for the main ideas
Read the text a first time to understand the main idea, and don’t look up new words.___36___
Use Context
Context refers to words and situations around a word you don’t understand. Look at the example sentence：
I went to the shlumping to buy some chitla for dinner.
What’s ‘schlumping’ - It must be a store because you bought something there.
What’s ‘chitia’ - ___37___
Use Your Own Language
Ask yourself this question：Do I read every word in my own language when I am reading a schedule, or summary
___38___ Reading in English is like reading in your native language. It is not always necessary to read and understand every word in English.
Understand Different Reading Skills
Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading.
___39___Run your eyes over the text, noting important information.___40___Run your eyes over the text for the specific piece of information. Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a subject, including reading longer texts for pleasure. Intensive reading is used on shorter texts to get specific information, including close accurate reading for detail.
You can use these reading skills to improve other areas of English learning, such as pronunciation, grammar and increasing vocabulary.
A. The answer is most definitely：No!
B. You may not be so sure about the answer.
C. You can usually understand the general idea.
D. Skimming is used to quickly gather the main idea.
E. It must be food because you are going to eat it for dinner.
F. Scanning is used to find a particular piece of information.
G. Words you don’t know may contain important information.

【37题详解】
根据前文“What’s ‘schlumping’ - It must be a store because you bought something there.( “schlumping”是什么 ——这一定是一家商店，因为你在那里买了东西。)”可知，破折号后是对前文问题的介绍，此处举例说明，空前有问题“What’s ‘chitia’ ”和破折号，因此推断E项“它一定是食物，因为你要把它当晚餐吃。”符合语境，介绍前文的问题，句式结构与上文一致，故选E。
【38题详解】
前文“Ask yourself this question：Do I read every word in my own language when I am reading a schedule, or summary (问你自己这个问题:当我阅读日程安排或摘要时，我是否用自己母语读每个字 )”提出了一个问题，因此推断A项“答案绝对是:不!”符合语境，回答以上问题，并因此下文“Reading in English is like reading in your native language. It is not always necessary to read and understand every word in English.(用英语阅读就像用母语阅读一样。阅读和理解英语中的每个单词并不总是必要的。)”正确阅读方法的介绍。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading.(下面是四种阅读技巧的快速概述:略读、扫读、泛读和精读。)”可知，下文讲述四种阅读技巧：略读、扫读、泛读和精读。由下文的“Extensive reading”和“Intensive reading”可知，空处讲述略读，因此推断D项“略读是用来快速收集大意的。”符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language： skimming, scanning, extensive reading and intensive reading.(下面是四种阅读技巧的快速概述:略读、扫读、泛读和精读。)”可知，下文讲述四种阅读技巧：略读、扫读、泛读和精读。结合第四空的推理以及下文的“Extensive reading”和“Intensive reading”可知，空处讲述扫读，因此推断F项“扫读是用来找到一个特定的信息。”符合语境，故选F。

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。
People think being a delivery person is easy, but it’s more complex than anyone can imagine. Although Harry always did his best, he was not able to afford a car. He used his motorbike to deliver orders and usually it was convenient except for severe weather conditions.
One day, he was trying to get off the highway when he saw an old beggar trying to cross the road. He was weak and looked cold in his dirty jacket. The honks (鸣笛) of cars echoed as they passed him, and the man backed away with fear. If that kept going, someone would run over the man, so Harry stopped to help him cross.
Harry grabbed the man’s arm to guide him and started leading him through it. Luckily, they reached the other side after a few minutes, and the old beggar smiled brightly at him. “Thank you so much, young man. I can’t believe I finally crossed. Can you tell me your address I want to send a thank-you gift.” the older man said, reaching for Harry.
“Oh that’s not necessary.” Harry said and straightened his motorbike to get back on it. “Please. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t repay this kind gesture,” he insisted, and Harry nodded, telling him his address. Still, he didn’t expect anything from this poor older man. “Thank you again!” the senior beggar waved as Harry rolled away to continue working.
Harry lived in a nice neighborhood but because the pandemic cost him his job, and now food delivery was his entire livelihood. Some days he had to work 18 hours to make ends meet. He was his children’s only parent because his wife had abandoned them long ago, and Harry was determined to build a promising future for them, even if he didn’t have a car to make those deliveries properly. He was saving for that.
注意：
However, he found a brand new car in his garage the following day.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The sincerity in the old man’s face couldn’t be denied.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
However, he found a brand new car in his garage the following day. “What’s going on ” he wondered wide-eyed, throwing his motorbike on the grass. Then he noticed the old beggar he had helped cross the road standing by the garage. “Sir! What are you doing here Is that your car How What Why ” Harry stumbled through questions as he approached the old man. The old man explained that his wife had left him with their only son when his company went bankrupt. And this car bought years ago had been for his grandson as a birthday gift, who, however, had died of a severe disease. “I could tell from your work uniform that you deliver food, and thought that you could really use the vehicle. Please, accept it!”, the old man insisted.
Paragraph 2:
The sincerity in the old man’s face couldn’t be denied. Harry swallowed thickly at the moisture gathering in the old man’s eyes and finally nodded. “Thank you,” he said gratefully and hugged the old beggar. “How about some dinner ”, Harry offered, brightening the mood. They had dinner and a wonderful time. The next day, Harry delivered everything in the new car and got home early to spend more time with his kids and actually enjoyed himself. He invited the old man to come every Friday for a special dinner, and he became like a member of their family — a family who valued each other after anything money could buy. So be nice to others, and you’ll get repaid in unusual ways.
