　　After I graduated from the university， I got so pressured in finding a job.I did a lot of applications both online and handing in person to a particular company.It occurred， one day I went to hand in my CV （简历） to a certain company and I wanted to meet the human resource manager in person because I believed it was a better choice than leaving my CV at the reception.

　　Weeks passed and one day I received a call from an unknown number and guess what ...it was the human resource manager of that same company， I was really shocked since I did not expect it at all.So he said he received my CV and that he would work on it.
　　I was so happy and felt bad at the same time for doubting the security lady the other day.

　　In the near future， you may not be waiting for packages delivered by a truck — instead， they’ll come overhead， via drone.But they might look a little different from what you’ve seen before.The Federal Aviation Administration announced new rules Monday for what it calls “unmanned aircraft” that weigh more than 0.55 pound （or 0.25 kilogram） to operate around people.
　　Among the new rules， the FAA said drones will need to broadcast their identification through a new system called Remote ID， which will help the government track both the drones and their base “control” stations and this will address security concerns.And people who manage the drones will need to have a drone pilot’s license with them whenever operating the aircraft.
　　“The new rules make way for the further integration （融入） of drones into our airspace by addressing safety and security concerns，” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson， in a statement.“They get us closer to the day when we will more routinely see drone operations such as the delivery of packages.”
　　The rules announced on Monday are the latest in a series of steps to fix regulations around drone deliveries and flights around the US.Both Amazon and UPS have been testing drone deliveries， indicating the technology isn’t far off.
　　“The framework is a critical step in allowing more complex UAS operations， with a focus on safety and security，” UPS said in a statement， referring to unmanned aircraft systems.The company added that the FAA’s moves “will advance the integration of drones into the National Airspace System”.
　　Various parts of the US government have expressed concern about how drones could be misused， a concern heightened by a series of incidents in 2018 in which drones caused Gatwick Airport in London to shut down.
　　It’ll be more than two years before the new rules go into effect， but civilian drones offered for sale in the US must be equipped with ID broadcast technology in 18 months， according to the FAA release.
28.Why will Remote ID be required for drones？（　　）
A.To guarantee safety. B.To limit their activities.
C.To improve performance. D.To increase their functions.
29.What was Steve Dickson’s attitude to the new rules？（　　）
A.Tolerant. B.Positive.
C.Skeptical. D.Objective.
30.What does the author want to show by mentioning Amazon and UPS in Paragraph 4？（　　）
A.Drones will be used in different fields. B.The new rules have been well received.
C.Drones will be used for carrying goods. D.The new rules will make a big difference.
31.What was stressed about drones’ development in the last two paragraphs？（　　）
A.A bright future. B.Great potential.
C.Serious difficulties. D.Possible challenges.
D
　　As an astronomer， I am accustomed to observing the universe in quiet places.I observe galaxies in the deep universe — places so far away that their light takes billions of years to reach our eyes.
　　Sometimes I wonder what our own galaxy looked like billions of years ago before our solar system was born.I often stare at the Hubble Deep Field （哈勃深空区） searching for clues： galaxies colliding （碰撞）， stars exploding， and stellar nurseries.Can looking to the stars bring us closer together？
　　A couple of months ago， Betelgeuse， a bright star in the Orion constellation （猎户星座） started to get dimmer and dimmer.Astronomers all over the world thought this might be a signal that the star was about to explode.Though it might not happen for another 1，000 years or more， still I went outside every night to check it out.I was hoping that it would explode.Imagine seeing a star shining as bright as the full moon even during the day.
　　I started dreaming about using such an event to remind everyone that stars produce nearly all of the chemical elements in the universe， which came directly out of the Big Bang.Everything we breathe， touch and see was made inside of stars.The iron in our blood， calcium in our bones， and almost the entire periodic table are products of stellar evolution.
　　Betelgeuse did not explode， and more recent observations note that it is actually returning to normal.But nothing is normal here on Earth now.I am beginning to realise that we did not need a star to explode to unite us.All we needed was a common problem.
　　I am hoping that everyone on the planet is saving some time to contemplate （凝视） the universe and to realise we are not alone.No matter where we are or who we are， we are on this planet together.Since we are all made of stars， looking up at the night sky gives us a glimpse of our past and our future， and we can contemplate both together.
32.According to the article， what do we know about Betelgeuse？（　　）
A.It is a star the author tracked for years. B.It will produce chemical elements if it explodes.
C.It is a normal star which is disappearing. D.It will explode in ten thousand years.
33.What does the underlined phrase “such an event” in Paragraph 4 refer to？（　　）
A.Betelgeuse’s potential explosion. B.Betelgeuse’s getting dimmer and dimmer.
C.The author’s checking out every night. D.A star’s shining as bright as the sun.
34.Why does the author write this article？（　　）
A.To advise others to stare at a potentially exploding star recently.
B.To research into the scientific mystery in the universe with readers.
C.To discuss the proper relationship between humans and the universe.
D.To advise us to think about the way human beings live in this world.
35.What’s the best title for this passage？（　　）
A.What Should an Astronomer Do？
B.Should We Know More About the Universe？
C.Looking to the Stars Can Bring Us Closer Together
D.Getting United Is a Problem Impossible to Solve

　　Today let’s talk about bullying at school.Every day thousands of teens wake up afraid to go to school.36.（　　） And it has everyone worried， not just the kids on its receiving end.Yet because parents， teachers， and other adults don’t always see it， they may not understand how extreme bullying can get.
　　Bullying is when a person is picked on over and over again by an individual or group with more power， either in terms of physical strength or social standing.
　　37.（　　） Bullies pick on the people who they think don’t fit in， maybe because of how they look， how they act， their race or religion.
　　38.（　　） Others use psychological control or verbal insults （口头侮辱） to put themselves in charge.Verbal bullying can also involve cyberbullying — sending cruel texts， messages， or posting insults about a person on Facebook or other social sites.
　　One of the most painful aspects of bullying is that it is cruel.39.（　　） Guys and girls who are bullied may find their schoolwork and health suffering.Studies show that people who are abused by their peers are at risk for mental health problems， such as low self-esteem， stress， depression， or anxiety.
　　Bullies are at risk for problems， too.Bullying is violence， and it often leads to more violent behaviour as the bully grows up.It’s reported that 1 out of 4 elementary-school bullies will have a criminal record by the time they are 30.40.（　　） Bullies may also fail in school and not have the career or relationship success that other people enjoy.
A.Bullying has its different forms.
B.It is very difficult to deal with bullying.
C.Some bullies attack their targets physically.
D.Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students.
E.Some teen bullies end up being rejected by their friends as they grow older.
F.When it goes on and on， bullying can put a person in a state of constant fear.
G.Two of the main reasons people are bullied are because of appearance and social status.

　　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。
　　（2024·沈阳五校高一下检测）To act with integrity （正直） was a habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule：“Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” But when she thought over her past conduct， a blush of shame crept to her cheeks， as many little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory.She resolved that for the future， both in great things and small， she would remember and follow the Golden Rule.
　　It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred， which tried Susan’s principles.One Saturday evening when she went， as usual， to Mr Thompson’s inn， to receive the money of her mother’s washing for him， which amounted to five dollars， she found Mr Thompson apparently in a terrible rage with some horse dealers with whom he had been bargaining.He held in his hand an open wallet， full of bills and scarcely noticing Susan as she made her request， except to swear at her for troubling him when he was busy， he handed her a banknote.
　　Glad to escape so easily， Susan hurried out of the gate.Pausing to put the money safely in her purse， she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one.She looked around； nobody was near and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
　　“It is all mine，” she said to herself.“I will buy my mother a new coat with it， and she can give her old one to my sister Mary， and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter.I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom， too.”
　　At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by mistake.But again the voice of the tempter whispered，“He gave it， and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it？ Keep it！ He will never know it， for he had too many such bills in that great pocketbook.”

M：Here is the news from Dallas.
Walmart posted its worst monthly sales results in history， declaring a large decrease in April.
Monthly sales measure sales gains or losses at stores open for at least a year.They are an obvious sign of the returns a supermarket earns， and thus an influence on the amount of profit it makes.Most US supermarkets are reporting their April results on Thursday.
Walmart’s 5% drop in the four-week period fell below its earlier forecast of “flat” sales of a 2% to 3% decrease.In a recorded phone message Thursday， Walmart blamed bad weather last month in most US areas.
Walmart’s chief financial officer warned a month ago that the company’s earlier goal of earnings for its latest quarter would be “a challenge” to achieve， considering what the company foresaw as a difficult April.The company didn’t provide an update.It did， however， predict a sales gain for this month of a small decrease.Walmart will report its results for its first quarter on Tuesday.

Dear Chris，
　　It’s lovely to hear from you.I’m very glad to share with you my views on exploring Mars.To be brief， I firmly believe it’s necessary and worthwhile to explore Mars.
　　To begin with， exploring space is a competition of comprehensive national strength.With advanced aerospace science and technology， China can stand proudly among the nations of the world.Secondly， by exploring Mars， studying its past and present and predicting future changes， we can better protect the Earth.Finally， it is also a goal to prepare for human migration to Mars.Seeking a second home has been the long-term goal of mankind and Mars is a potential alternative.
　　What do you think of the exploration of Mars？ Looking forward to your brilliant ideas.
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节
　　This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil.She was hurrying home as fast as possible.However， before she got home， the Golden Rule sounded in her ears.Suddenly she turned around and rushed along the road with breathless speed.A few minutes later， she found herself at Mr Thompson’s inn.He was very surprised to see her.“What do you come back for？” he asked.
　　“Sir， you paid me two bills instead of one，” she handed him the extra note.Moved by the little girl’s honesty， Mr Thompson pulled out a shilling and offered it to her.Susan refused the money for she didn’t want to be paid for doing right — she only wished he wouldn’t think her dishonest.Desperate to tell her mother what she had done， Susan waved goodbye to Mr Thompson and returned to her humble home with a lightened heart.Never would she forget this day through the course of her whole life.

M：Here is the news from Dallas.
Walmart posted its worst monthly sales results in history， declaring a
large decrease in April.
Monthly sales measure sales gains or losses at stores open for at least a
year.They are an obvious sign of the returns a supermarket earns， and
thus an influence on the amount of profit it makes.Most US supermarkets
are reporting their April results on Thursday.
Walmart’s 5% drop in the four-week period fell below its earlier forecast
of “flat” sales of a 2% to 3% decrease.In a recorded phone message
Thursday， Walmart blamed bad weather last month in most US areas.
Walmart’s chief financial officer warned a month ago that the
company’s earlier goal of earnings for its latest quarter would be “a
challenge” to achieve， considering what the company foresaw as a
difficult April.The company didn’t provide an update.It did，
however， predict a sales gain for this month of a small decrease.Walmart
will report its results for its first quarter on Tuesday.

　　After I graduated from the university， I got so pressured in finding a
job.I did a lot of applications both online and handing in person to a
particular company.It occurred， one day I went to hand in my CV （简
历） to a certain company and I wanted to meet the human resource
manager in person because I believed it was a better choice than leaving
my CV at the reception.
　　Unfortunately， in this company the security lady at the reception did
not allow me to see the human resource manager and instead asked me to
just leave the CV with her and that she would deliver it.I was really
disappointed since I knew she wouldn’t do that and my CV will just be
thrown in the trash can， I thought so because it usually happens a lot in
some other companies.So I just left with my head down and never thought
about it again since I knew I would never get any feedback from the
company.
　　Weeks passed and one day I received a call from an unknown number
and guess what ...it was the human resource manager of that same
company， I was really shocked since I did not expect it at all.So he said
he received my CV and that he would work on it.
　　I was so happy and felt bad at the same time for doubting the security
lady the other day.
　　This experience made me reflect on people around me and it was a
reminder to believe in people and not assume things just because of the
norm （常态）.

　　In the near future， you may not be waiting for packages delivered by
a truck — instead， they’ll come overhead， via drone.But they might
look a little different from what you’ve seen before.The Federal Aviation
Administration announced new rules Monday for what it calls “unmanned
aircraft” that weigh more than 0.55 pound （or 0.25 kilogram） to
operate around people.
　　Among the new rules， the FAA said drones will need to broadcast
their identification through a new system called Remote ID， which will
help the government track both the drones and their base “control”
stations and this will address security concerns.And people who manage
the drones will need to have a drone pilot’s license with them whenever
operating the aircraft.
　　“The new rules make way for the further integration （融入） of
drones into our airspace by addressing safety and security concerns，”
said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson， in a statement.“They get us
closer to the day when we will more routinely see drone operations such as
the delivery of packages.”
　　The rules announced on Monday are the latest in a series of steps to
fix regulations around drone deliveries and flights around the US. Both
Amazon and UPS have been testing drone deliveries， indicating the
technology isn’t far off.
　　“The framework is a critical step in allowing more complex UAS
operations， with a focus on safety and security，” UPS said in a
statement， referring to unmanned aircraft systems.The company added
that the FAA’s moves “will advance the integration of drones into the
National Airspace System”.
　　Various parts of the US government have expressed concern about
how drones could be misused， a concern heightened by a series of
incidents in 2018 in which drones caused Gatwick Airport in London to
shut down.
　　It’ll be more than two years before the new rules go into effect， but
civilian drones offered for sale in the US must be equipped with ID
broadcast technology in 18 months， according to the FAA release.

　　As an astronomer， I am accustomed to observing the universe in
quiet places.I observe galaxies in the deep universe — places so far away
that their light takes billions of years to reach our eyes.
　　Sometimes I wonder what our own galaxy looked like billions of
years ago before our solar system was born.I often stare at the Hubble
Deep Field （哈勃深空区） searching for clues： galaxies colliding （碰
撞）， stars exploding， and stellar nurseries.Can looking to the stars
bring us closer together？
　　A couple of months ago， Betelgeuse， a bright star in the Orion
constellation （猎户星座） started to get dimmer and
dimmer.Astronomers all over the world thought this might be a signal that
the star was about to explode.Though it might not happen for another 1，
000 years or more， still I went outside every night to check it out.I was
hoping that it would explode.Imagine seeing a star shining as bright as the
full moon even during the day.
　　I started dreaming about using such an event to remind everyone that
stars produce nearly all of the chemical elements in the universe， which
came directly out of the Big Bang.Everything we breathe， touch and see
was made inside of stars.The iron in our blood， calcium in our bones，
and almost the entire periodic table are products of stellar evolution.
　　Betelgeuse did not explode， and more recent observations note that
it is actually returning to normal.But nothing is normal here on Earth
now.I am beginning to realise that we did not need a star to explode to
unite us.All we needed was a common problem.
　　I am hoping that everyone on the planet is saving some time to
contemplate （凝视） the universe and to realise we are not alone.No
matter where we are or who we are， we are on this planet together.Since
we are all made of stars， looking up at the night sky gives us a glimpse of
our past and our future， and we can contemplate both together.

的生存方式。
35. What’s the best title for this passage？（　　）
A. What Should an Astronomer Do？
B. Should We Know More About the Universe？
C. Looking to the Stars Can Bring Us Closer Together
D. Getting United Is a Problem Impossible to Solve
解析：　标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，作者从对星空的观
察入手，讲到星球创造了宇宙中几乎一切的化学元素，也创造了
人类；作者认为我们应该经常凝视星空，重新审视自己的生存方

项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Today let’s talk about bullying at school.Every day thousands of
teens wake up afraid to go to school.36.（　　） And it has everyone
worried， not just the kids on its receiving end.Yet because parents，
teachers， and other adults don’t always see it， they may not
understand how extreme bullying can get.
　　Bullying is when a person is picked on over and over again by an
individual or group with more power， either in terms of physical strength
or social standing.
　　37. （　　） Bullies pick on the people who they think don’t fit
in， maybe because of how they look， how they act， their race or
religion.
　　38.（　　） Others use psychological control or verbal insults （口
头侮辱） to put themselves in charge.Verbal bullying can also involve
cyberbullying — sending cruel texts， messages， or posting insults about
a person on Facebook or other social sites.
　　One of the most painful aspects of bullying is that it is cruel.39.
（　　） Guys and girls who are bullied may find their schoolwork and
health suffering.Studies show that people who are abused by their peers
are at risk for mental health problems， such as low self-esteem， stress，
depression， or anxiety.
　　Bullies are at risk for problems， too.Bullying is violence， and it
often leads to more violent behaviour as the bully grows up.It’s reported
that 1 out of 4 elementary-school bullies will have a criminal record by the
time they are 30.40.（　　） Bullies may also fail in school and not have
the career or relationship success that other people enjoy.
A. Bullying has its different forms.
B. It is very difficult to deal with bullying.
C. Some bullies attack their targets physically.
D. Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students.
E. Some teen bullies end up being rejected by their friends as they grow
older.
F. When it goes on and on， bullying can put a person in a state of
constant fear.
G. Two of the main reasons people are bullied are because of appearance
and social status.

Dear Chris，
　　It’s lovely to hear from you.I’m very glad to share with you my
views on exploring Mars.To be brief， I firmly believe it’s necessary
and worthwhile to explore Mars.
　　To begin with， exploring space is a competition of comprehensive
national strength.With advanced aerospace science and technology，
China can stand proudly among the nations of the world.Secondly， by
exploring Mars， studying its past and present and predicting future
changes， we can better protect the Earth.Finally， it is also a goal to
prepare for human migration to Mars.Seeking a second home has been the
long-term goal of mankind and Mars is a potential alternative.
　　What do you think of the exploration of Mars？ Looking forward to
your brilliant ideas.
Yours，
Li Hua
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。
　　（2024·沈阳五校高一下检测）To act with integrity （正直） was a
habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule：“Do not do to
others what you do not want others to do to you.” But when she thought
over her past conduct， a blush of shame crept to her cheeks， as many
little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory.She
resolved that for the future， both in great things and small， she would
remember and follow the Golden Rule.
　　It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred， which tried
Susan’s principles.One Saturday evening when she went， as usual， to
Mr Thompson’s inn， to receive the money of her mother’s washing
for him， which amounted to five dollars， she found Mr Thompson
apparently in a terrible rage with some horse dealers with whom he had
been bargaining.He held in his hand an open wallet， full of bills and
scarcely noticing Susan as she made her request， except to swear at her
for troubling him when he was busy， he handed her a banknote.
　　Glad to escape so easily， Susan hurried out of the gate.Pausing to
put the money safely in her purse， she discovered that he had given her
two bills instead of one.She looked around； nobody was near and her
first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
　　“It is all mine，” she said to herself.“I will buy my mother a new
coat with it， and she can give her old one to my sister Mary， and then
Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter.I wonder if I can
buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom， too.”
　　At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by
mistake.But again the voice of the tempter whispered，“He gave it，
and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it？
Keep it！ He will never know it， for he had too many such bills in that
great pocketbook.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　“Sir， you paid me two bills instead of one，” she handed him
the extra note. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
参考范文：
　　This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil.She
was hurrying home as fast as possible.However， before she got home，
the Golden Rule sounded in her ears.Suddenly she turned around and
rushed along the road with breathless speed.A few minutes later， she
found herself at Mr Thompson’s inn.He was very surprised to see
her.“What do you come back for？” he asked.
　　“Sir， you paid me two bills instead of one，” she handed him the
extra note.Moved by the little girl’s honesty， Mr Thompson pulled out
a shilling and offered it to her.Susan refused the money for she didn’t
want to be paid for doing right — she only wished he wouldn’t think her
dishonest.Desperate to tell her mother what she had done， Susan waved
goodbye to Mr Thompson and returned to her humble home with a
lightened heart.Never would she forget this day through the course of her
whole life.
谢谢观看！
