AHistory is full of heroes, who have made an enormous impact (影响) on the world.Full Rizer Red (《满江红》), one of the hit movies in 2023, reminded me of Yue Fei, our national hero. He led the army to fight bravely against Jin, not to yield (屈服) to the traitor (叛徒) Qin Hui. Yue Fei, according to China’s history, is a real hero. His story has been passed down through the ages, beginning with his life in the Southern Song Dynasty.There are heroes in every time period. Heroes are people who do something brave, unusual, or important. Heroes are men and women who take risks. In the face of natural disasters, there are also many retrograde (逆行的) heroes. They make a positive (积极的) difference in the world.Some heroes lived long ago. George Washington was the first president of the United States. Some heroes did great things recently. Sally Ride was an astronaut and an educator, and the first American woman to go into space.Some of the greatest heroes did not just do remarkable things that made them famous. In their everyday lives, they behaved in ways that made people admire their character. Character is a group of qualities that make up who a person is.

Ted liked children, and was always ready to have a joke with them, so they learned a lot from him while at the same time having fun.One September, he was having his first lesson. And to start with, he decided to ask the students some questions, so that he could see how much they already knew.“Where’s Turkey?” Ted asked the first boy.“Turkey?” the boy answered. “You’ll find it on the Christmas dinner table. sir.”“Very funny!” said Ted with a smile-while the class laughed loudly.“Do you really know where it is?”The boy did. in fact, know, “Part of it is in Southeast Europe and part in Asia. sir.” he said.“Good.” said Ted. The next few boys also had funny answers to Ted’s questions. But they all knew the correct answers, too.Ted then turned to a girl who was very clever. “What is the equator (赤道)?”“It’s an imaginary line drawn round the earth equally distant from the North Pole and the South Pole, sir?” the girl answered at once.“Very good.” But it sounded to Ted as if the girl had learned this by heart-so he asked her another question to see whether she was right or not.“Now, do you really know what that means?” he asked. “Could you. for example, tie a knot (结) in the equator?”The class laughed, but she answered, “Yes, sir.”“Oh, really?” Ted said with a smile.“Yes, sir,” the girl said, “As the equator’s an imaginary line, you could tie an imaginary knot in it.”This time Ted joined happily in the class’s loud laughter.11.

In fact, E-cars themselves produce no waste. When energy comes from large sources such as power plants, it’s easier to control.Furthermore, E-cars are simply more efficient (高效的) than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, E-cars have regenerative braking (制动能量回收), which means that when you use the brakes, the battery has a chance to recharge (再充电). On the contrary, when you brake in a gas-powered car, you actually use energy. Also, the E-cars are lighter so that there will be less drag (阻力) from the wind. This allows them to travel farther using less energy than a gas-powered car.Besides the environmental benefits, there are also financial and time-saving benefits for driving E-cars. The cost of charging an E-car is about 20 percent of the cost of gas, and E-cars require far less maintenance (维护) than gas-powered cars. Because E-cars have fewer moving parts, there are fewer possible problems. Also, after the body of an E-car gives out, the engine can be reused. E-cars can also save time. While gas-powered cars require visits to a mechanic (保养) every few months, the E-cars are required to replace the battery every four years.Overall, there are numerous benefits of driving an E-car. It may take some time to get used to. but in the long run, the use of E-cars is helpful for the environment and can save people more time and money.16. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Less than 80 percent pollution is produced by cars.B. Gas-powered cars get energy from power stations.C. Electric cars themselves don’t produce any waste.D. It’s difficult to control energy from power plants.17. The writer thinks E-cars are more efficient because ________.A. they produce less pollutionB. the cost of their power is much lessC. they don’t need to be maintained every few monthsD. using braking is a chance to recharge and their body is lighter18. According to the passage. which of the following is TRUE?A. Electric cars cost less to maintain because of fewer moving parts.B. It may take no time to see the popularity of driving electric cars.C. The battery can be reused after the body of an electric car gives out.D. Replacing the engine every four years is required for an electric car.19. Which is the best title of the passage?A. The Best Way to Protect the EnvironmentB. Electric Cars Are Worthy of a Second LookC. The Greatest Invention in the New CenturyD. Driving Electric Cars Saves Times and Money20. What style is this passage?A. A story.B. A poem.C. An instruction.D. An argumentation.第二节: 完形填空(共15 小题, 每小题 2 分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
