In Telangana，southern India，a 17-year-old teenager，Hemesh Chadalavada，is making waves with a game-changing invention that has the potential to revolutionize dementia(痴呆) care.
When Hemesh was 12，his grandmother Jayasree，then 63，accidentally left the gas on in the kitchen after making herself a cup of tea.The incident frightened Hemesh who found himself wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t been there.
Witnessing his grandmother suffer from dementia，Hemesh knew that he had to do something，so he turned to the Internet.After watching robotics courses online and taking advantage of his passion for coding，Hemesh set about creating a smart device.
He spent time in a day centre to learn more about the needs of people with dementia.And 20 failed versions later，the Alpha Monitor was born.Using advanced machine learning technology，the device，which can be worn on the wrist，sends an automatic alert to caregivers when any abnormal activity is detected，such as if the user falls down，wanders off，or has an accident.While other devices rely on Wi-Fi and are therefore unable to detect movements outside a limited range，the Alpha Monitor uses long-range technology that can detect a person’s movements more than a mile away in cities and three miles away in the countryside.
Sadly，Jayasree passed away last year，but her death has only reinforced Hemesh’s determination to continue his mission of improving dementia care far and wide.Dhruv Saidava，Hemesh’s mentor，said，“I first met Hemesh in 2019 during Ideate for India...Hemesh stood out.What set him apart was his exceptional talent for thorough research and hands-on ability.”
In future，he plans to do research at the Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) Delhi and improve the Alpha Monitor so that it’s ready for market.He has made it clear that he wants the device to be sold at an affordable price so that it’s accessible to people in less developed countries.
24．What inspired Hemesh’s invention
A．The concern about his grandma’s security.
B．The enthusiasm for robotics development.
C．The sympathy for people suffering a lot.
D．The desire to research into machine learning technology.
25．How is Alpha Monitor superior to other devices
A．It goes through a series of tests.
B．It can detect abnormal activities.
C．It is equipped with an alert system.
D．It monitors a person’s farther distance.
26．What does the underlined word “reinforced” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Changed. B．Illustrated.
C．Restored. D．Strengthened.
27．Which of the following can best describe Hemesh
A．Strong-willed and adventurous.
B．Caring and creative.
C．Responsible and sensitive.
D．Independent and generous.

A man rides at full speed on a single-wheeled bike，leaning back on a seat fixed above a recycled tyre as he performs wheelies(杂技)．This machine is just one of many crazy inventions from Make It Extreme，a channel online run by Michael Mavros and George Shiailis，two best friends who use old materials to create unique and innovative mechanical projects.
The partners of this DIY design make the inventions to promote the joys of mechanical engineering and inspire creativity in others.
On Make It Extreme，they transform everyday objects and vehicles into extreme versions of themselves，pushing creative boundaries in the process.They build and design their projects，film and edit the entire process，then finally showcase the results.
“By passionately crafting furniture，engines，tools，toys and vehicles while using our imagination，we try to offer innovative solutions to various mechanical challenges，” explains Mavros.“We’ve shared this passion since our early years，and now，through our channel，we share it with millions of other people in an easily understandable way.”
For its 100th video，Make It Extreme introduced the Monotrack bike，constructed entirely from recycled and old materials.They utilised a 100cc two-stroke engine from an old scooter(摩托车)，cutting the sidewalls of a used car tyre and fitting it around a recycled motor.The bike reflects their commitment to sustainability and creativity，purely for the joy and curiosity it brings.
“The idea for the Monotrack bike came from an old wartime photo where we saw a similar vehicle，” says Mavros.“Our creations are often inspired by things we’ve encountered before.For example，the Monowheel，where a person sits inside a huge wheel，was inspired by similar vehicles from decades ago，and our tank chair stemmed from the idea of creating an accessible adventure vehicle for people with limited mobility.”
Make It Extreme now has almost two million subscribers who are eager to tune in every month to see the partners’ latest invention.And Mavros promises that 2024 will see them create their most daring project yet.
28．Why do Mavros and Shiailis run Make It Extreme
A．To make profits.
B．To earn popularity.
C．To develop hobby.
D．To awaken innovation.
29．What is the feature of their inventions according to paragraph 5
A．Practical. B．Eco-friendly.
C．Costly. D．Convenient.
30．What is paragraph 6 mainly about
A．Why the old things were used.
B．Where the Monowheel was found.
C．What their inspirations originated from.
D．How the Monotrack bike was invented.
31．What can we learn from Mavros and Shiailis in the text
A．Nothing is impossible.
B．One good turn deserves another.
C．It is never too old to learn.
D．Many hands make light work.

Soot(煤烟灰) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica，a new study suggests，raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from an increasing number of humans who want to visit the place.
“It really makes us question，‘Is our presence really needed？’” says Alia Khan，one of the authors of the new study.“We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica，which is enhancing snow and ice melt.”
Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels.Soot in Antarctica comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships(游轮)，vehicles and airplanes，although some pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe.The dark particles(微粒) coat white snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day.The blanket of dark bits speeds up melting，which has already been happening more quickly because of global warming.
When snow and ice are uncovered，they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before it can turn into heat.“These are the mirrors on our planet，” says Sonia Nagorski，a scientist at the University of Alaska Southeast.“When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits，they don’t send back that much light and heat.That means more heat is trapped on Earth，speeding up melting and contributing to global warming.”
As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year，Khan says she is troubled by her own research results.On the one hand，she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about how quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing.“But then when we come to conclusions like this，it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent，” she says，“and what kinds of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring that cruise ships and vehicles be electric，for example，or limiting the number of visitors each year.
32．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in paragraph 2
A．That thick snow and ice cover Antarctica all year round.
B．More and more people’s hoping to explore Antarctica.
C．Stopping soot from approaching Antarctica.
D．Tapping natural resources in Antarctica.
33．Why is a black T-shirt spoken of in paragraph 3
A．To make a guess.
B．To make a comment.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To make a conclusion.
34．What does Sonia Nagorski express in paragraph 4
A．Heat can be made full use of in Antarctica.
B．Uncovered snow and ice can trap more heat.
C．Speeding up melting can slow down global warming.
D．Snow and ice covered with dark particles reflect less sunlight.
35．What can we infer from what Khan says in the last paragraph
A．She helps make regulations about travel in Antarctica.
B．She often leads tourists to visit Antarctica.
C．Trips to Antarctica should be controlled.
D．Tourism can help to develop Antarctica.

How to Find a Great Gift for Someone You Know
It is not easy to find a great gift for someone，even if the recipient is someone you know.Finding a gift that the recipient will enjoy takes a bit of forward thinking and an understanding of the recipient’s personality and tastes.Fortunately，here are some practical tips for you.
36 If you have a close relationship with the recipient，you may select a gift that is more personal.If you are not close to the recipient，you may choose a gift that is more useful or accessible.
Make a list of the recipient’s interests and preferences.Personalize the gift by sitting down and making a list of the recipient’s interests and likes. 37 Whether they are video games or Thai food，they should be what the recipient has told you that he or she likes or is known to be enjoyed.
Identify items the recipient may need. 38 Or consider a big purchase that the recipient needs to do but has been putting off.This could be a new kitchen appliance the recipient has been eyeing or a new backpack the recipient needs for a new year of school.
Arrange an experience as a gift.Often，giving the gift of an experience can be more impactful than giving a recipient an item.This could be a massage，a skydiving date，or dinner at the person’s favorite restaurant. 39
Make a homemade gift.Homemade gifts can be the best gifts，as they are often thoughtful and detailed. 40 And he or she will surely appreciate that.
A．Consider how close you are to the recipient.
B．Try to write down as many specific items as possible.
C．Ask people who are close to the recipient for gift advice.
D．The experience of making a homemade gift is what the recipient needs.
E．Think about any items the recipient may need in his or her day-to-day life.
F．They can also show the recipient that you spent lots of time and effort on the gift.
G．Think of experiences that will surprise the recipient，as these will often make a lasting impression.

I didn’t know the lady，but I saw her often around town with her two small children.She appeared to be shy，always looking down，trying not to make eye contact.She often wore the same clothes，and so did her children.I felt her discomfort when I saw her at the supermarket checkout.She reminded me of myself years ago.We had to go through a tough time.
Back then，I couldn’t afford a new winter coat for my daughter，and I didn’t know what I was going to do.Luckily，my three younger children could wear hand-me-downs.One night，I said to myself in my heart that I wished someone to offer me help.I did it for the first time since my husband’s unemployment.
The next morning，a neighbour came into the place where I worked.“I know you must feel unbelievable.This morning，I had an overwhelming(无法抗拒的) feeling that you needed this，” she whispered.She insisted on giving me twenty dollars.My eyes started to tear as she continued，“I also have a box of clothes in my car that I was going to donate.Please take what you need.” It was really a shock of getting her help.Was this the response to my word the night before
Going through the large box of clothes，I found several winter items for my children，including a dark purple jacket that looked like it would fit my daughter.Although grateful，I felt embarrassed.The woman must have sensed my discomfort.She raised my chin so I could look at her.“We all need help at one time or another，” she said.“One day，you’ll be the one helping someone in need.”
I thanked her and promised I would always try to pay it forward.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

M：I think it was a special snowy-white animal.I looked it up on the Internet this morning just to make sure I wasn’t going crazy.The foxes’ white coat happens when none of their fur or skin has a certain chemical that makes the dark colors.It can happen to almost any animal!
W：I am surprised we did not learn about that in school.I am so envious！Next time you should take a picture!

M：Do you read newspapers these days，Rachel
W：No.I don’t even subscribe to one because I am worried about wasting paper and therefore trees.
M：Me neither.I just look on the Internet.I’ve got my first page which pops up about six or seven headlines every day.There’s always so much news for me to choose from.One sentence is enough to draw me in，and then I end up reading my news online.
W：I’m actually a bit worried when we have loads of news to choose from，because we would always choose reading entertainment articles instead of really serious news.
M：You have a point.Having too many options is not always a good thing.But still I wonder in the future if there will be newspapers anyway.
W：I’ve heard even the most famous newspapers are starting to go bankrupt.
M：Maybe paper books will disappear someday，too.People are starting to read electronic books.
W：I’m pro the idea of “e-books replacing paper books”，but I just wish they could make the experience of reading an e-book more comfortable to our eyes.

M：May I have your attention，please？I know it’s the end of the day，and everyone is eager to begin your holiday.But I want to give a short speech about the past year.Since the summer，we all have been focusing our efforts on the goal of creating three new products by Chinese New Year.Now，it’s just before Christmas，and we’ve already achieved this goal.So，as this office’s general manager，I’d like to congratulate you all first.
Second，I’ve communicated with the board members over the last few days，and we have decided that everyone will be going home with a holiday gift.I still remember the extra vacation days we got last year.But by the end of today，everyone will receive a significant holiday bonus.It will be twice as much as last year.We all should be proud of our product development and sales figures.This extra payment is given for your excellent performance.But more than the money，my greatest honor is watching everyone work well together as a team.
So，before we all leave for the day，our sales and marketing director will say a few words.Please，put your hands together for her...

(2024·江西百所名校三模)
In Telangana，southern India，a 17-year-old teenager，Hemesh Chadalavada，is making waves with a game-changing invention that has the potential to revolutionize dementia(痴呆) care.
When Hemesh was 12，his grandmother Jayasree，then 63，accidentally left the gas on in the kitchen after making herself a cup of tea.The incident frightened Hemesh who found himself wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t been there.
Witnessing his grandmother suffer from dementia，Hemesh knew that he had to do something，so he turned to the Internet.After watching robotics courses online and taking advantage of his passion for coding，Hemesh set about creating a smart device.
He spent time in a day centre to learn more about the needs of people with dementia.And 20 failed versions later，the Alpha Monitor was born.Using advanced machine learning technology，the device，which can be worn on the wrist，sends an automatic alert to caregivers when any abnormal activity is detected，such as if the user falls down，wanders off，or has an accident.While other devices rely on Wi-Fi and are therefore unable to detect movements outside a limited range，the Alpha Monitor uses long-range technology that can detect a person’s movements more than a mile away in cities and three miles away in the countryside.
Sadly，Jayasree passed away last year，but her death has only reinforced Hemesh’s determination to continue his mission of improving dementia care far and wide.Dhruv Saidava，Hemesh’s mentor，said，“I first met Hemesh in 2019 during Ideate for India...Hemesh stood out.What set him apart was his exceptional talent for thorough research and hands-on ability.”
In future，he plans to do research at the Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) Delhi and improve the Alpha Monitor so that it’s ready for market.He has made it clear that he wants the device to be sold at an affordable price so that it’s accessible to people in less developed countries.

A man rides at full speed on a single-wheeled bike，leaning back on a seat fixed above a recycled tyre as he performs wheelies(杂技)．This machine is just one of many crazy inventions from Make It Extreme，a channel online run by Michael Mavros and George Shiailis，two best friends who use old materials to create unique and innovative mechanical projects.
The partners of this DIY design make the inventions to promote the joys of mechanical engineering and inspire creativity in others.
On Make It Extreme，they transform everyday objects and vehicles into extreme versions of themselves，pushing creative boundaries in the process.They build and design their projects，film and edit the entire process，then finally showcase the results.
“By passionately crafting furniture，engines，tools，toys and vehicles while using our imagination，we try to offer innovative solutions to various mechanical challenges，” explains Mavros.“We’ve shared this passion since our early years，and now，through our channel，we share it with millions of other people in an easily understandable way.”
For its 100th video，Make It Extreme introduced the Monotrack bike，constructed entirely from recycled and old materials.They utilised a 100cc two-stroke engine from an old scooter(摩托车)，cutting the sidewalls of a used car tyre and fitting it around a recycled motor.The bike reflects their commitment to sustainability and creativity，purely for the joy and curiosity it brings.
“The idea for the Monotrack bike came from an old wartime photo where we saw a similar vehicle，” says Mavros.“Our creations are often inspired by things we’ve encountered before.For example，the Monowheel，where a person sits inside a huge wheel，was inspired by similar vehicles from decades ago，and our tank chair stemmed from the idea of creating an accessible adventure vehicle for people with limited mobility.”
Make It Extreme now has almost two million subscribers who are eager to tune in every month to see the partners’ latest invention.And Mavros promises that 2024 will see them create their most daring project yet.

Soot(煤烟灰) pollution is speeding up climate-driven melting in Antarctica，a new study suggests，raising questions about how to protect the delicate continent from an increasing number of humans who want to visit the place.
“It really makes us question，‘Is our presence really needed？’” says Alia Khan，one of the authors of the new study.“We have quite a large black carbon footprint in Antarctica，which is enhancing snow and ice melt.”
Black carbon is the leftover thing from burning plants or fossil fuels.Soot in Antarctica comes primarily from waste gases of cruise ships(游轮)，vehicles and airplanes，although some pollution travels on the wind from other parts of the globe.The dark particles(微粒) coat white snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day.The blanket of dark bits speeds up melting，which has already been happening more quickly because of global warming.
When snow and ice are uncovered，they reflect an enormous amount of sunlight before it can turn into heat.“These are the mirrors on our planet，” says Sonia Nagorski，a scientist at the University of Alaska Southeast.“When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits，they don’t send back that much light and heat.That means more heat is trapped on Earth，speeding up melting and contributing to global warming.”
As a scientist who personally visits Antarctica every year，Khan says she is troubled by her own research results.On the one hand，she goes to Antarctica to collect crucial data about how quickly the snow and ice there are disappearing.“But then when we come to conclusions like this，it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent，” she says，“and what kinds of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” That could mean requiring that cruise ships and vehicles be electric，for example，or limiting the number of visitors each year.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类对南极洲的频繁考察，导致煤烟污染加速了南极洲气温的上升，加速了冰雪融化，人们对此情况反思该如何降低对南极洲的考察频率，从而减少对南极洲生态环境的破坏。
32．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in paragraph 2
A．That thick snow and ice cover Antarctica all year round.
B．More and more people’s hoping to explore Antarctica.
C．Stopping soot from approaching Antarctica.
D．Tapping natural resources in Antarctica.
答案　B
解析　代词指代题。第一段提到煤烟灰污染正加速南极冰雪的融化，而越来越多的人想游览南极洲，结合画线词所在句可知，It使人们反思自己的到来是否必要，综合可知，It指代上文中提到的“越来越多的人希望探索南极洲”这个问题。故选B。
33．Why is a black T-shirt spoken of in paragraph 3
A．To make a guess.
B．To make a comment.
C．To make a comparison.
D．To make a conclusion.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“The dark particles(微粒) coat white snow and absorb heat from the sun the way a black T-shirt does on a warm day.”可推知，第三段提到黑色T恤是为了作对照，生动地解释深色微粒吸收热量的方式。故选C。
34．What does Sonia Nagorski express in paragraph 4
A．Heat can be made full use of in Antarctica.
B．Uncovered snow and ice can trap more heat.
C．Speeding up melting can slow down global warming.
D．Snow and ice covered with dark particles reflect less sunlight.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“When those mirrors are covered in a film of dark bits，they don’t send back that much light and heat.”可知，被覆盖着深色颗粒的冰雪反射的阳光较少。故选D。
35．What can we infer from what Khan says in the last paragraph
A．She helps make regulations about travel in Antarctica.
B．She often leads tourists to visit Antarctica.
C．Trips to Antarctica should be controlled.
D．Tourism can help to develop Antarctica.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But then when we come to conclusions like this，it really does make us think twice about how frequently we need to visit the continent...and what kinds of regulations should be placed on tourism as well.” 可推断，去南极洲的旅行应该受到控制。故选C。

How to Find a Great Gift for Someone You Know
It is not easy to find a great gift for someone，even if the recipient is someone you know.Finding a gift that the recipient will enjoy takes a bit of forward thinking and an understanding of the recipient’s personality and tastes.Fortunately，here are some practical tips for you.
36 If you have a close relationship with the recipient，you may select a gift that is more personal.If you are not close to the recipient，you may choose a gift that is more useful or accessible.
Make a list of the recipient’s interests and preferences.Personalize the gift by sitting down and making a list of the recipient’s interests and likes. 37 Whether they are video games or Thai food，they should be what the recipient has told you that he or she likes or is known to be enjoyed.
Identify items the recipient may need. 38 Or consider a big purchase that the recipient needs to do but has been putting off.This could be a new kitchen appliance the recipient has been eyeing or a new backpack the recipient needs for a new year of school.
Arrange an experience as a gift.Often，giving the gift of an experience can be more impactful than giving a recipient an item.This could be a massage，a skydiving date，or dinner at the person’s favorite restaurant. 39
Make a homemade gift.Homemade gifts can be the best gifts，as they are often thoughtful and detailed. 40 And he or she will surely appreciate that.
A．Consider how close you are to the recipient.
B．Try to write down as many specific items as possible.
C．Ask people who are close to the recipient for gift advice.
D．The experience of making a homemade gift is what the recipient needs.
E．Think about any items the recipient may need in his or her day-to-day life.
F．They can also show the recipient that you spent lots of time and effort on the gift.
G．Think of experiences that will surprise the recipient，as these will often make a lasting impression.

第二节　(满分25分)
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 didn’t know the lady，but I saw her often around town with her two small children.She appeared to be shy，always looking down，trying not to make eye contact.She often wore the same clothes，and so did her children.I felt her discomfort when I saw her at the supermarket checkout.She reminded me of myself years ago.We had to go through a tough time.
Back then，I couldn’t afford a new winter coat for my daughter，and I didn’t know what I was going to do.Luckily，my three younger children could wear hand-me-downs.One night，I said to myself in my heart that I wished someone to offer me help.I did it for the first time since my husband’s unemployment.
The next morning，a neighbour came into the place where I worked.“I know you must feel unbelievable.This morning，I had an overwhelming(无法抗拒的) feeling that you needed this，” she whispered.She insisted on giving me twenty dollars.My eyes started to tear as she continued，“I also have a box of clothes in my car that I was going to donate.Please take what you need.” It was really a shock of getting her help.Was this the response to my word the night before
Going through the large box of clothes，I found several winter items for my children，including a dark purple jacket that looked like it would fit my daughter.Although grateful，I felt embarrassed.The woman must have sensed my discomfort.She raised my chin so I could look at her.“We all need help at one time or another，” she said.“One day，you’ll be the one helping someone in need.”
I thanked her and promised I would always try to pay it forward.

Looking at the lady at the supermarket checkout，I knew perhaps it was the proper time.I went back home and packed some clothes in a bag with other donations and headed to the supermarket.Standing at the supermarket checkout and looking at the woman who was so similar to my former self，I felt compelled to say，“Hi.” She smiled.Without hesitation，I repeated words similar to what the kind neighbour had said to me many years ago at my workplace.“I have a bag of clothes in my car that I was going to donate.Would you like to take a look？”
To my surprise，she said，“Yes.” Together，we walked to my car.She didn’t appear as embarrassed as I had been worried about.I felt a bit relieved.When we reached the car，she went through the clothes and picked up a purple coat with three brightly painted lemons.“My daughter will love this coat.Thank you.” She smiled as her eyes lit up.My heart was full as I thought about what a blessing that coat had been，and how it would make another little girl happy.
