The World-Famous Nine

Zander notices that walls on many floors contain mysterious symbols and takes them down in his notebook.

For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者).
“She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs.
Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.
Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.
“I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb.
“It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.”
24. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie
A. She hoped to have a tailored limb.
B. She intended to design a cartoon figure.
C. She longed to expand the market for limbs.
D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas.
25. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______.
A. boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity
C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business
26. What is the basis for Sophie's works
A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first.
C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key.
27. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs.
B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs.
C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs.
D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs.
C
What if our bodies had a new way— other than our eardrums- -to hear the world around us That’s what neuroscientist David Eagleman wondered five years ago. Then he looked at the body for answers and saw a huge sound jack (插孔).“We have this huge input channel called our skin,” he says, “and we aren’t using it.”
So Eagleman, along with Scott Novich, his student at Baylor College of Medicine, created the Versatile Extra- Sensory Transducer, or VEST. The VEST is worn like it sounds. Through 32 tiny motors, it translates sound waves into vibrations (振动) on your back.
First, a computer or smartphone picks up sounds from your surroundings and breaks down the sound sample into a set of specific frequencies. Each frequency band in the set sets off one of 32 motors in the VEST. With time and practice, your brain learns to unconsciously interpret the series of vibrations as sound—and individual sounds as .words in a language.
“There is no theoretical reason why this can't be almost as good as the ears,” says Eagleman. So far, he has trained deaf people to recognize single words through the VEST. He hopes to eventually help them understand sentences, and then full conversations. Just like with language, Eagleman discovered, children—whose brains are more shapable—learned to interpret the VEST more easily than adults did. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
Eagleman says his device could one day be deployed in dozens of professions to better understand complex environments. A pilot could interpret a plane’s condition through the VEST’s vibrations. An astronaut could literally feel the health of the International Space Station. Eagleman and Novich’s startup, Neo Sensory, plans to develop the VEST for all kinds of uses, so someday we all can experience this sixth sense. “The possibilities are endless for the kind of information we could be streaming in,” says Eagleman.
28. What is the VEST
A.A huge input channel on the body. B. A computer-smartphone connector.
C. A processing program with tiny motors. D. A wearable sound-vibration transformer.
29. What is the working procedure of the VEST
①motors to be activated ②sounds to be decomposed ③words to be interpreted
A.①②③ B.②③① C.①③② D.②①③
30. What does the underlined word “deployed” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Assessed. B. Employed. C. Detected. D. Invented.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Listen with Your Skin B. Hear Your Sixth Sense
C. To Listen or Not D. Here to Hear.
D
“Palace, Mountain, Moon ” has been selected by NASA as the Astronomical Picture of the Day for December 25, 2023.
The photo was taken by Valerio, a young photographer of Turin, Italy. It was taken on the evening of December 15, 2023. Though he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible!
In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills north of Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso. After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
After pinpointing these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched the Moon's phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.
It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waxing phase (月盈期). This meant that in the photo, not only was its crescent (新月) lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow (达芬奇灰光)，named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon's shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waxing Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon's shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color. This allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well.
32. Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA
A. He took an interest in astronomical advances.
B. He expected to create an impact on social media.
C. He received broad support from enthusiastic fans.
D. He wished to make his hometown a tourist hot spot.
33. In Valerio’s photo, the three objects ______.
A. shine light on each other B. stand in a straight line
C. fit each other in size D. vary from usual in color
34. What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo
A. Studying how the Moon phase changes.
B. Calculating the Superga-Monviso distance.
C. Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle.
D. Measuring the height of the observation point.
35. What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glow
A. The outline of the crescent. B. The outline of Superga.
C. The dark side of the Moon. D. The shadowed side of the Earth.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gamba has a lifelong fear of dentists. “It was much easier to accept the toothache,” he says.
36 , there are times when you have to seek proper dental care. Fortunately, many dentists are specially trained in handling fearful patients. A variety of methods are also available to reduce pain and fear when you are in the dentist's chair.
The best dentists use simple methods to create a feeling of control. They gently explain what the patient will feel, and for about how long. They frequently ask the patient for permission to continue. 37 . Their working places are barely recognizable as a dentist's office. Free of posters showing the horrors of dental diseases, some even have a fireplace in the waiting room and some have a treatment room overlooking a waterfall. 38 ,your body may still fear that chair. Here are some tips that may help you:
Go to the dentist with someone you trust, such as a close relative who has no fear of dentists. If possible, ask him/her to sit with you during the treatment.
39 . Listen to your own music on headphones— a new CD, not one you've heard a lot, so you’ll be a little more interested in it. Or find a dental clinic with a TV in the treatment room. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
Try relaxation techniques. Controlled breathing—I taking a big breath, holding it, and letting it out slowly—will slow your heartbeat and relax your muscles.
As the pain from Gamba’s wisdom teeth worsened, he found support online through a forum for people with dental fear. He also found a dentist, who advertises his skill with fearful patients. “ 40 ,” Gamba says before going. But the dentist put him so at ease that he agreed to receive treatment right away. And it was painless, he says.
A. Add your favorite songs to the playlist
B. Shift attention while in the dentist’s chair
C. It wouldn’t be possible without the dentists' support
D.I convinced myself that I was just going to talk with the dentist
E. Even if your mind tells you you’ll be just fine in such circumstances
F. Although you would never look forward to a spell in the dentist’s chair
G. Some dentists even go out of their way to create a nonthreatening environment

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。
I am not a gamer. I’ll be honest: video games and I don’t really see eye to eye, and I have no ambitions to become better. I never have the experience playing against my kids and winning. And that’s okay. Board games, on the other hand, are a different story. At least there, I stand a chance of victory.
One day, my 12-year-old son begged me to play a game with him. He held, out a game controller and begged, “Just one game with me You can use it to control the game through your movements.” His eyes were full of anticipation and I could see the excitement welling up within him. How could I possibly resist such a sincere and heartfelt request “Just one game.” My son’s face lit up. In a matter of minutes, we were standing in our living room, virtually bowling away.
My son’s amusement at my lack of gaming skills was evident. 1 could see the struggle on his face as he fought to hold back his laughter. The game controller felt awkward and unfamiliar in my hand, but I did my best to copy my son' movements and follow his lead. At one point, my son said, “No, Mom. You really have to put some force into it. Like this.” With that, he threw his arm back, stepped forward, and with plenty of force extended out his arm that was holding the controller. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
Instead of sending the virtual bowling ball flying, the controller went off his hand and broke the TV screen. The impact was immediate and destructive. The screen cracked (碎裂), sending a crazy mosaic (马赛克) of colors dancing across its surface. It looked like something straight out of a dream.
The air stood still at that moment. The look on my son’s face was a funny mixture of horror, disbelief, and guilt. He stayed absolutely frozen for a long moment. Then, slowly, he turned to me. “Mom…” with a weak smile, “Did I just...break the TV ”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry at all. But my son insisted on keeping the broken TV.

Dear Professor Nunan,
Learning that you are gathering feedback on our English textbooks, I’m glad to share my thoughts.
I find the textbooks incredibly beneficial. The well-selected materials, filled with intriguing stories and fresh opinions, have aroused my interest in language learning and opened up a new world for me. My language skills have also been significantly enhanced with the help of the Workbook.
However, it would be better to include more interactive activities, such as role-plays or debates, to add more fun to our learning experience.
Thank you for considering my feedback (90 words)
Best regards,
Li Hua

Surprisingly, I wasn’t angry at all. After all, it was just an accident. “Yes, sweetie.” I approached him, fighting to keep a straight face. “You did just break it,” I added with a playful grin. Next time, let’s stick to a board games. My boy buried his head in my arms. From the way he hugged
me, I could tell how apologetic he was. It was an innocent mistake and I hated to blame a child with guilt. “Don't worry— we’ll throw the broken TV away and buy a new one.”(85 words)
But my son insisted on keeping the broken TV. He carried it to the corner of the sitting room. On seeing my confused look, he explained, “I will remind me to be cautious.” As my gaze fell upon that cracked screen, I couldn’t help but recall my son’s fateful words: “Like this.” These two words echoed in my mind, seeming to offer a profound life lesson. Accidents happens and it is practical forgiveness that plays a significant role in shaping a child’s character. The incident indeed brought us even closer as a family (85 words)

M: I know that you have already got millions of followers. What makes you stand out
W: That’s possibly because I do it in a little different way. You know, I am a funny person. I think the audience like jokes.
M: No wonder you are so popular among young people. But is there anything that bothers you as an influencer
W: Yes. Sometimes people are too curious about my personal life, like where my husband and I spend weekends. I want to protect my family and friends from being disturbed.
M: OK. Thank you for your time.

Though social media and messaging apps have taken over some of the roles from email as a form of communication, email is likely to keep an important role for business communication in the future.

It’s also important to use proper English. Think of an email as a letter. Spelling, grammar and even the format should not be overlooked. And finally, never use capitals to emphasize a word or words in an email. It’s the same as shouting loudly. All right. That’s as deep as the explanation goes. Now I’m going to open up for questions.
