You may have heard video game characters deliver lines like “Shatter (击碎) the darkness with thunder!” But it’s refreshing to hear it in an unexpected place — the classroom. Xia Zhendong is a physics teacher working at a senior high school in south China. Now in his 30s, Xia has won the hearts of millions of online viewers with his classroom experiments.
In one video, Xia pointed a self-made “thunderbolt wand (魔杖)” toward a hanging light tube in his classroom and said, “Shatter the darkness with thunder.” Suddenly, an electric arc (弧线) emerged from the tip of the wand, illuminating the tube. After the cheers from his students, he went on to explain the science behind it—static electricity (静电) and point discharge (尖端放电).
“The idea came when I enjoyed playing a popular game on my smart phone,” he said. In his spare time, he likes to try out what students are interested in to get closer to them. Apart from the “thunderbolt wand”, Xia has done many other creative experiments. Once, he lit steel wool with a battery to show the heating effect of electric current. Another time, he used a “laser weapon” to pop balloons while explaining the principles of lasers.
For Xia, physics is supposed to be fun. So, when he saw his students struggle with physics, he decided to make a change. “Circuit diagrams (电路图) are abstract, and I want them to actually see the electricity through lightning to realize that knowledge is not just on paper. You can see it and even touch it,” Xia said. Now, Xia has also started free live classes online. “I hope that through online classes, more students can also have access to fun physics lessons. And their parents can also join in. I hope that physics could make them feel happier,” Xia said.
24．What does the underlined word “illuminating” mean in paragraph 2
A．Shining light on. B．Cutting down on.
C．Getting stuck in. D．Taking advantage of.
25．What inspired Xia Zhendong to have such an idea
A．The effect of acting a video game character. B．Online viewers of his videos.
C．The pleasure in playing an online game . D．Wild cheers from his students.
26．Why does he start free live classes online
A．Because he hopes to get more students to have his classes.
B．Because he wishes to get more parents involved in his lessons.
C．Because he expects more students to have fun in learning physics.
D．Because he wants to win more hearts of online viewers of his videos.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．What makes a fun teacher. B．Bringing magic to school.
C．How to make physics fun. D．Getting students to learn physics.
C
The invasive (入侵的) species, also called introduced species or foreign species, is any nonnative species that significantly changes or damages the ecosystem it invades. Such species may arrive in new areas through natural migration(迁徙), but they are often introduced by the activities of other species. Human activities, such as those involved in global business and the pet trade, are considered to be the most common ways in which invasive plants, animals, microbes, and other organisms are transported to new habitats.
Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because they do not possess the necessary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings. Some introduced species may become invasive when they possess a built-in competitive advantage over native species in invaded areas. They change native food chains and in some cases even get to the top of the food chains, which means the ecosystem lacks natural enemy capable of limiting them. Under these situations, new arrivals can get the chance to reproduce in large numbers.
The ecological damage that tends to follow such invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes economic harm to people who depend on the ecosystem’s biological resources. Invasive species may be so good at catching preys that victim(受害者) populations decline over time, and many victim species die out in the affected ecosystem. Other invasive species, in contrast, may prevent native species from obtaining food, living space, or other resources. Over time, invasive species can effectively replace native ones, often forcing the localized extinction of many native species. Invasive plants and animals may also serve as disease carriers that spread parasites (寄生虫) and viruses (病毒) that may further do harm to the invaded area.
28．How do introduced species mainly travel to a new place
A．Through natural reproduction. B．Through natural migration.
C．Through human activities. D．Through social interactions.
29．What happens to most introduced species in new habitats
A．They become extinct worldwide. B．They survive from any challenges.
C．They dominate the new world. D．They die off in a short period.
30．What does the underlined word “preys” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Creatures that are hunted and eaten.
B．Species that die out in a new place.
C．Species at the top of food chains.
D．Creatures at the bottom of food chains.
31．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Invasive Species Around the World
B．Invasive Species and Their Impact
C．The Ways Invasive Species Spread
D．The Classification of Introduced Species
D
Would you BET on the future of this man He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to(吸引) the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote (《堂吉诃德》). And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality(活力) and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before
We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark. I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can’t all get there. I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted(采用) the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.
Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere.
The things we learn in maturity(成熟) seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things we can’t change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us — an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.
With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos (自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate (视……等同于) “commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence — whether they are driving a truck, or running a store — make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson.
32．The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ______.
A．age is not a block to achieving one’s goal
B．loss of freedom stimulates one’s creativity
C．misfortune inspires a man to fight against his fate
D．disability cannot stop a man’s pursuit of success
33．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．End one’s struggle for liberty. B．Waste one’s energy taking risks.
C．Lose the interest to continue learning. D．Miss the opportunity to succeed.
34．What could be inferred from Paragraph 4
A．Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.
B．Opportunity favors those with a curious mind.
C．Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.
D．Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A．To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.
B．To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.
C．To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.
D．To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选岀可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money. 36 , but with a little awareness and effort, we can make improvements that will help us achieve our financial objectives.
Taking a careful look at your existing spending habits is one of the first steps in improving your money habits. 37 It can make you realize the potential issues on your spending habits, which help you identify areas where you can adjust your spending patterns.
38 Having a specific objective in mind will help you keep motivated and focused, whether it’s saving for a down payment on a home, removing credit card debt, or creating an emergency fund.
Setting and sticking to a budget is also crucial. A budget ensures that your spending is focused on your priorities and that you set aside enough cash to achieve- your objectives. Make sure to include a category for savings and use it consistently.
Impulsive (冲动的) purchasing is a key habit to break. It’s important to take action to stop the habit of impulse shopping because it can significantly reduce your bank account. 39 Additionally, waiting a day or two before making a purchase can help you determine if you still want the item.
Finally, it’s important to pay attention to your financial habits and adjust them as needed. Track your spending and goals, and be prepared to adjust as required. Keep in mind that adjusting your spending patterns is a process, and its effects might not be seen right away. 40
A．It might be challenging to change these habits
B．Next, set up clear financial objectives for yourself
C．With a little knowledge and effort, you can make positive changes
D．This involves tracking all your spending for a month and then analyzing the data
E．Spending habits refer to the consumption patterns of individuals or groups within a society
F．Making a list of the items you require before you go shopping and sticking to it is one approach to achieve this
G．For example, older consumers may prefer products that cater to their health and comfort, while younger consumers might favor technology and fashion items

A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her.
One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it.
She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile ” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.
I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling.

It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling. As I approached them, I noticed the pair dragging their feet and running forward awkwardly with their shoes wet. I pulled off and called. “Are you okay ” “Oh, yes!” Sue said, almost out of breath. The girl also nodded and kept moving. I had wanted to offer them a ride in, but the resolve in their eyes made me swallow back the words. I turned around and followed. Inch by inch, they were getting closer to the finish line. Eventually, the real winners in my heart ran past the finish line.
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” She added, “Sue described so vividly how it would be to finish that I knew I could do it.” Sue smiled back. “I’ve been dreaming about this day for two years and I shall not be denied”. Greatly moved, the girl promised she would never quit anything easily without total success. At that moment, I looked at Sue and found she was carrying herself differently. It was not as if she had become someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. She truly liked her newly discovered self. So did I.
