Back in New York, I am fighting fires as the captain helper of a volunteer fire company. I still remember my first fire. I was the 1 volunteer there at that time.

At midnight, she was 3 outside in the pouring rain, under an umbrella, barefoot, while her house was in fire.The other two volunteers, who had arrived just before me, were asked to go inside and 4 the homeowner’s dog. The captain then waved me over. He said, “Bezos, l need you to go upstairs and get this woman a pair of 5 . ” So, not exactly what I was hoping for, but I went up the stairs, past the “real” firefighters, who nearly finished putting out the fire at this point, into the master bedroom to get her shoes.Now I know what you’re thinking, but I’m no hero.

This idea could soon come true. The Maldives (马尔代夫) is building the world’s first floating city and plans to complete it in 2027.The city is like a man-made island. People will live on floating platforms (平台). These platforms are connected and placed along a hexagonal grid (六角网格). Natural coral reefs (珊瑚礁) will be grown around the city to stop the floating city from moving around, so people who live here won’t feel seasick.People will live a self-sufficient life in the floating city. Electricity will be powered by solar energy. Sewage (污水) will be treated there. Also, the island is not far away from land. It takes only 10 minutes to travel by boat between there and the capital of the Maldives.Cool as it seems, the city is designed to solve problems. The Maldives is one of the world’s lowest-lying countries. Most of its islands including the capital stand about only 1 meter above sea level. And now climate change has brought a big problem—the rising sea level. According to CNN, 80 percent of the country’s land area will be under the sea by the end of the century.“We all know, the Maldives is special and it attracts visitors from all of the world. In the Maldives, we cannot stop the waves, but we can rise with them,” Mohamed Nasheed, former president of the country, told Newsweek magazine.11．What is the Maldives planning to build?A．A bridge over the sea.B．A huge man-made island.C．A resort on a coral reef.D．The world’s first floating city.12．How will the floating city not move?A．By using solar energy.B．By connecting floating platforms with bridges.C．By growing natural coral reefs around it.D．By placing platforms along a circular grid.13．What does the underlined word “self-sufficient” mean in the third paragraph?A．Able to provide for oneself.B．Living a poor life.C．Needing help from others.D．Having enough money to buy everything.14．What can we know from the last two paragraph?A．The Maldives has the lowest-lying islands in the world.B．The rising sea level is a serious problem for the Maldives.C．The Maldives will be completely under the sea by the end of the century.D．The former president of the Maldives is worried about the future of the country.15．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read the passage?A．TECHNOLOGY B．HISTORYC．EDUCATION D．WORLD NEWS“Who did this?” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. The class was silent (寂静的).“Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass to show us that she had already known what happened.“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I did not do it on purpose. It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?If I admitted it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father will get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, butsomething much stronger than me pull it up.“I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough to say what I had.My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to hit a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished (惩罚). But remember, it’s only for your honesty. ”I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.16．Why did the teacher ask us and hold up a piece of broken glass?A．Because she felt sad about the broken window.B．Because the broken glass was important to the classroom.C．Because someone needed to pay for the broken window.D．Because she wanted students to know that she was aware of what happened.17．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A．the broken window.B．one of “my” hands.C．a baseball.D．the window glass18．How did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book?A．relaxed.B．surprised.C．scared.D．peaceful.19．Which of the following is true according to the story?A．The writer didn’t want to tell his teacher his mistake at first.B．The writer broke the window when he was playing football.C．The writer’s teacher sometimes hit her students.D．The writer was hit by his teacher with a book.20．What can we learn from the passage?A．Better Late than NeverB．A Friend in Need Is a Friend indeedC．Practice Makes PerfectD．He Who Is Honest Is WiseLooking at the undone homework on his desk always makes David Grey aged 15 feel uncomfortable. After 7 pm, David leaves his homework behind and surfs the Internet for more than 2 hours instead, waiting until the last minute. Do you have the same experience?Everyone procrastinates (拖延) because they want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task. You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going to bed. “One big cause for procrastination (拖延症) is that people are afraid of failure, of not meeting others’ expectations,” Professor Peter Stone says.Professor Stone did a study in 2022, asking procrastinators to finish a task before bedtime at night. The results showed that they did worse than non-procrastinators: they made more mistakes and they took longer. However, they thought they did better. Even, the procrastination led to sleeplessness, which caused many other health problems for them.For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating, the best advice might be to take action first. If you’ve been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise, just put on your walking shoes. A little bit of progress will get you moving.Next, find something to help you remember to take action. If you want to go to bed at 10:30 pm, you might turn the lights down at 10 pm. When the lights are dim (昏暗), you’ll start going to bed. It works for most people.Finally, reward yourself every time you make progress. For example, after you’ve run 3 km, enjoy your favourite ice-cream. But be careful: it won’t work the other way around.21．How does the writer introduce the topic of procrastination?A．By asking some questions.B．By describing a student’s experience.C．By listing some numbers.D．By imagining a student’s daily life.22．What is the main reason for people’s procrastination?A．They fear to lose and let others down.B．They want to avoid doing hard work.C．They need to finish the top tasks firstD．They plan to do the enjoyable tasks last.23．Which of the following is NOT procrastinators’ performance (表现) in Stone’s study in 2022?A．They made more mistakes.B．They were not able to sleep at night.C．They didn’t feel confident about the task.D．They spent more time finishing the task.24．What should David do if he wants to stop procrastinating on a writing task?A．Put on some soft music to help think actively.B．Enjoy a favourite ice cream, and then start writing.C．Turn the lights down when you begin to think for ideas.D．Pick up a pen and write down possible starting sentences.25．What can be the best title of this passage?A．A day of a procrastinator.B．Procrastination: good or bad?C．Say goodbye to procrastination!D．Want to feel good now? Procrastinate!请阅读全文，并从下列的六个句子选择五个句子还原到原文里，使原文的意思完整、连贯。

The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related with panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.“Scientific and educati onal outreach (延伸服务) also serves as a key role in international giant panda exchanges, allowing more people to understand giant pandas, which provides very good support for our efforts in protecting wild giant pandas,” Li said.16.

B．The outreach plays an important part.C．The cooperation requires international support. D．Education about wildlife protection is a big success.You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart? Meet Laura, a robot in the National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.Those robots above require artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). AI is a computer system (系统) that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job.________. For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It’ll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate (气候) change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use.Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam (交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI.21.

How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren’t they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can’t fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same willhappen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we’ll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesn’t look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters（使散射）the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no colors.16．Planes can’t fly as high as possible because _______.A．the sky is blue B．the wings are heavierC．the air becomes thinner D．the sky has no air17．When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see _______.A．more air B．fewer cloudsC．more colors D．redder skies18．Astronauts in spaceships could see _______ before they fly into the outer space according the passage.A．many beautiful colors B．a dark sky C．a colorful skyD．a sky without colors19．The sky changes colors because _______.A．the sunlight has colors B．the air scatters the sunlightC．it’s colorful itself D．the world is colorful20．Which is the best title?A．Why does the sky look blue?B．Why can’t planes fly very high?C．Why does the sky change colors?D．Why can the astronauts see the colors of thesky?二、完形填空Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun.
