Meet Giotto, the One-Eyed Skateboarding Bulldog

But Giotto, full of energy and always ready to play, was far more than they 12 . He’d run around the yard, push them for games, and carry toys to their laps. “He’s like a rocket,” they said in a warm review. “He has so much 13 on our quiet life.”

The couple bought him a cheap skateboard, and he jumped on it in seconds, skating almost every day since then.
Now a local star with 70,000+ TikTok followers, Giotto once had an eye removed because of illness, but he was back on the board quickly. “He skates even better now,” the couple said. Giotto is the best skating dog ever—this is their 15 !

四、阅读理解,本大题共5小题,每小题3分,共15分。阅读下列短文,根据短文内容选择最佳选项。
Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade routes. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration.
In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潜水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潜艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before. China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list.
Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. Even more shocking Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored.
Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown Part of the reason is that it’s difficult to explore. Sure, it’s hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task.
That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趋势). The deep ocean also holds huge amounts of oil, gas, metals and so on.
26.Why didn’t scientists reach the deep sea in the past
A.They didn’t think it was worth the risk.
B.They didn’t have high-level technology.
C.They thought there was no need to do it.
D.They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters.
27.What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A.Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists.
B.Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade.
C.China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology.
D.China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters.
28.Why does the writer mention space in the passage
A.To prove the interest of ocean exploration.
B.To show the necessity of space exploration.
C.To show the difficulty of ocean exploration.
D.To prove the importance of space exploration.
29.What does the underlined word "task" refer to
A.Inventing a new light.
B.Seeing the things in space.
C.Getting a spaceship into space.
D.Sending a bright enough light down.
30.What can we learn from the passage
A.Deep ocean exploration is important and necessary.
B.The ocean influences the long-term climate trends most.
C.We have explored most of the resources in the deep waters.
D.The ocean coverage is large and we have explored most of it.
五、书面表达,25分。

27.细节理解题。根据“China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋钻探船) can now be added to the list.”并结合前文提到新技术助力海洋探索可知,中国的大洋钻探船是新技术的体现,说明中国在海洋探索技术方面取得了很大进步,故选C。
28.推理判断题。根据“Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969, only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point.”可知,作者提到太空是为了对比,显示出相比太空,人类对深海了解更少,突出海洋探索的难度,故选C。
29.词句猜测题。根据“The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough is no easy task.”可知,然而,深海一片漆黑。要让光线穿透到足够远的地方绝非易事。“task”指的是把足够亮的光送到深海,故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据“That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost.”可知,海洋探索值得冒险和成本,且海洋影响人类生活的方方面面(如空气、食物、气候)且蕴藏资源。选项A“深海探索重要且必要”符合。故选A。
31.范文:
My View on Nature Exploration
Nature is full of mysteries, and exploring it helps us understand the world better. It allows us to discover unknown species and learn about the past.
Many great achievements come from nature exploration. For example, amber has helped scientists find that dinosaurs had feathers. Wang Wencai devoted his life to studying plants and discovered over 1,370 new species. These achievements show the value of exploration.
We should take a positive attitude towards nature exploration. We need to put more effort into research and protect the environment. Only in this way can we unlock more secrets.
