If a wheelchair breaks down, it’s like a body catching a cold. For me, a “wheelchair doctor”, identifying these issues has become second nature.
At 33, I brought my specialty to the world stage at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympics (残奥会). My journey began when I was selected for wheelchair repair at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Paralympics. I returned for the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics, and by the time Paris rolled around, all this earned me a place on the team once again.
Much like the medical care provided to athletes, wheelchair repair ensures athletes can compete and live comfortably. The mission at this Summer Paralympics was demanding, with more events, and a greater variety of wheelchairs for athletes, and wheelchairs differ depending on the sport, requiring specific repairs based on how they’re used. For example, wheelchair basketball causes heavy wear and tear, while swimmers’ wheelchairs suffer from poolside exposure.
After graduation, being a mechanical engineering major, I found myself at a crossroads in my career.
While many of my classmates pursued traditional paths in the mechanical industry, I chose a different route: committing my skills to serving individuals with disabilities. Witnessing their toughness, I saw it as an opportunity to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, and an honor to assist them. On the field, athletes rely on their devices to compete; off the field, these devices help them live comfortably and move freely.
Now, I have taken on a new initiative, which is aimed at empowering individuals with disabilities by training them to repair their own wheelchairs and developing a sense of community support. When a wheelchair stops working, it’s often much more challenging for someone with a disability to go out and find a repair shop compared to able-bodied individuals. So I aim to teach them simple repair techniques, enabling them to assist one another with basic fixes.
24. Why was the author invited to join the Paris repair team
A. He had practical experience. B. He was absorbed in wheelchairs.
C. He was a distinguished doctor. D. He competed in the Paralympics.
25. What made the task of repairing wheelchairs in Paris challenging
A. A wider range of sport use. B. A larger number of athletes.
C. The complexity of wheelchairs. D. The intensity of certain sports.
26. Which of the following best deseribes the author
A. Creative and brave. B. Committed and caring.
C. Humble and determined. D. Ambitious and competitive.
27. How does the new project serve the community
A. By developing special repair techniques. B. By opening more self-service repair shops.
C. By boosting independence and cooperation. D. By getting across the value of self-support.

The ocean feels boundless. If you were to start swimming from shore, it’s easy to believe — fitness and oxygen aside — you could continue forever. That’s a far different experience to overland travel, where mountains, rivers, and highways jammed with traffic prevents easy passage. It’s equally easy to believe that fish and other highly mobile sea creatures could smoothly experience the ocean. These animals, adapted over thousands of years to navigate the ocean, must easily bypass (绕过) any barrier around which they can theoretically swim. That assumption, though, is wrong.
It’s common for many oceanic species to stick to specific habitats and only seldom swim beyond them. That is especially true for many immature animals, which are small and easy to fall victim to predators (捕食者). This, however, can cause unexpectedly big problems for oceanic species, especially when infrastructure (基础设施) gets in the way.
Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In 2017, engineers working on a local oil and gas processing plant built a new loading facility consisting of a large piling jetty (码头) and solid rock wall, which stretched 500 meters offshore. Later, scientists realized that the green sawfish were unable, or unwilling, to pass around the barrier. But that could prevent the animals from reaching valuable feeding grounds and other habitats.
This discovery leads to a surprising new idea: that sea animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human infrastructure. In the case of the green sawfish, engineers could have created underpasses in the jetty through which the fish could swim.
As the climate continues to change, many sea species are moving farther north and they need suitable habitats to move through. Whether creating pass-throughs in artificial structures or plotting routes away from warming oceans, thoughtfully designing our infrastructure could go a long way toward protecting animals as we continue to engineer the ocean.
28. What is the misunderstanding mentioned in the first paragraph
A. Sea creatures adapt to the ocean slowly. B. The ocean presents no barriers to sea life.
C. Humans are naturally skilled at sea navigation. D. Sea travel guarantees easier passage than land travel.
29. Why are the green sawfish mentioned in the passage
A. To illustrate a point. B. To present a phenomenon.
C. To put forward a new argument. D. To add some background information.
30. What does the author suggest about engineering the ocean
A. Maximizing economic benefits. B. Prioritizing human infrastructures.
C. Creating underpasses for surfers. D. Accommodating oceanic species’ needs.
31. Where could this passage come from
A. A geography textbook. B. An wildlife forum.
C. A scientific magazine. D. A travel blog.

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars.
C. The potential market for flying cars. D. The designers of the Transition.
33. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways
A. It causers traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It is very expensive. D. It burns too much fuel.
34. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car
A. Cautious B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s First Flight
C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality

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。
Pantomime (哑剧) is a form of dramatic entertainment that uses facial expressions and body movements to communicate, rather than speech and dialogue. ____36____ Nowadays, this art form of physical expression is popular in many different locations in theaters, street performances, and dance studios.
The term “pantomime” is often interchangeable with the word “mime”. ____37____ Regardless of which word is used and what it refers to, performances are often placed into two style categories: the silent story and the narrative (叙事的) story.
Narrative stories require the performer to silently act out a scene presented by a narrator. In these performances, the actors may be required to change their facial expressions to show different emotions described by the narrator, or they may have to use their body to describe movements in a variety of environments and settings. Silent stories are similar in the way the actors perform. ____38____ So it may require extra movements by the actors or audience interaction.
In the sixth century B. C., pantomime was usually a small part of a large production that also included music and paintings. Dancers were frequently used as the physical interpretation of a song. ____39____ Over time, pantomime gained and lost popularity, but became a main part of operatic acts in England during the 1600s. Despite this, modern pantomimes did not come into existence until sometime in the 1800s.
____40____ For example, women often play male roles, while men regularly play female characters, the audience is encouraged to participate, and actors may be seen playing several characters in addition to their musical duties.
A. Pantomimes are usually meant for children.
B. It was only seen in ancient Greece originally.
C. The success of pantomimes depends heavily on the performers.
D. Both of them can describe either the performance or the performer.
E. To do this, they would express the words through dramatic movements.

47. 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。
One day five-year-old Beth received a piano as a gift from her neighbor Mr. Laurence, which had belonged to his late granddaughter. When Beth saw that piano for the first time, she was playing with her friends. The beautiful sound flowing from the large pink piano immediately caught their attention. Turning around and seeing the charming piano decorated with golden birds, flowers, and trees that shone like stars, Beth was overwhelmed (充溢) with emotion.
After knowing it was from her neighbor Mr. Laurence, who had just lost her little granddaughter, Beth resolved to express her gratitude in spite of her shyness and worry. Mr. Laurence had always been seen as a “scary man” by the children for he is so tall with beard on the face and a deep voice, seemingly unapproachable.
“You’ll have to go and thank him,” said her sister Hannah by way of a joke, for the idea of the child’s really going never entered her head. “Yes, I mean to. I guess I’ll go now, before I get frightened thinking about it.”
And, to the amazement of everyone present, Beth walked down the garden, through the fence, and in Laurence’s through the door. “Well, it is the strangest thing I ever see!” cried Hannah, staring after her, while the other children were made quite speechless by her unexpected act.
They would have been still more amazed if they had seen what Beth did afterward. She went and knocked at the study door before she gave herself time to think. When a deep voice called out “Come in”, she entered, right up to Mr. Laurence, who looked quite surprised, and held out her hand, saying, with only a small quake in her voice, “I came to thank you, sir, for the piano...” But she didn’t finish, for he looked so sad and friendly that she forgot what she intended to say and, only remembering that he had lost the little girl he loved, she put both arms round him and hugged him.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式作答。
Mr. Laurence was so touched and pleased.

续写Mr. Laurence was so touched and pleased. He just set her on his knee, feeling as if he had got his granddaughter back again. “Thank you, child. If you’d like, we could play the piano together,” he said warmly. Beth did not fear him at all from that moment; she nodded and then talked to him freely as if they had been old friends. When it was time for Beth to leave, Mr. Laurence offered to walk with her to her own gate.
The children were so surprised to see Mr. Laurence walk Beth home. Before Mr. Laurence went back home, he shook hands with Beth. The children were numb with shock at the sight with their eyes wide open. But Beth felt a surge of pride. She had not only conquered her fear but corrected the misunderstanding about Mr. Laurence in the gentlest way. Since then, Mr. Laurence and Beth often played the piano together and the children visited the old gentleman from time to time, brightening up all of their days.
