A wise driver keeps an eye on the fuel indicator(指示器), to make timely stops at filling stations. For drivers of electric cars, though, those stations are scarce. The facility needed for refilling batteries has yet to be developed, and the technology that facility will use is still not available at the moment. Most electric cars are equipped with plugs. But plugs and their connected cables and charging points bring problems. The cables are easy to trip passers-by. The charging points lead to more street jams. And the copper wire involved. attracts thieves easily. Many engineers would, therefore, like to develop a second way of charging electric cars—one that is wireless and can thus be buried underground.
Electromagnetic induction(电磁感应),the fundamental principle behind wireless charging, was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831, and is widely used in things such as clectric motors and generators. Faraday observed that moving a conductor through a magnetic field generated a current in that conductor. Further investigations showed that this also works if the conductor is fixed and the magnetic field is moving. Since electric currents generate magnetic fields, and if the current changes so does the field, a changing current creates a field that is constantly moving. This means that running such a current through a conductor will generate a similar current in another, nearby, conductor. That generated current can then be used for whatever purpose an engineer chooses.
In the case of electric car charging, the first conductor is a length of copper wire. This is rolled up around a piece of ferrite(铁氧体) that strengthens the magnetic field generated. The whole device is packed in a flat case that can be easily buried underground. When a car equipped with a suitable "pickup"stops or parks above this device, and changing current is fed into it, a similar current is generated in the pickup. This is then turned into direct current, and is used to charge the car's battery. The principle is thus pretty simple. But only in recent years has it become practical to use in electric cars.
(1)、What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A、The charging facility is in urgent need currently. B、The wise drivers must observe the fuel indicator. C、The disadvantages are various for vehicles to charge. D、The importance of wireless charging cannot be ignored.(2)、What can we know from Paragraph 2?A、No current will be generated without magnetic field fixed. B、Electric induction is of great importance to wireless charging. C、A changing current hardly creates a constantly moving field. D、Wireless charging was put into use in all cars in recent years.(3)、How does the device charge a car?A、The current generated in the pickup charges the car. B、The underground ferrite gives direct electricity to the car. C、The rolled conductor produces electricity to charge the car. D、The whole device conveys direct electricity through the wire.(4)、What is the best title of the passage?A、The Principle of Wireless Cars B、The Present Use of Wireless Charging C、The Wireless Charging Is Approaching D、The Generation of Current in Electronic Cars -

In the 1997 movie Contact, a scientist, played by actress Jodie Foster, detects a radio signal—the first communication from an extraterrestrial(外星的)civilization. That story, composed by Carl Sagan, is a fiction. But the search for such a signal is not a crazy story. Real scientists look to the sky, using powerful radio telescopes, hoping to hear even a whisper of a radio signal from one of our neighbor planets.
Indeed, a recent report of a transmission originating from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own, was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian in December. The source of the story is not a scientific paper, but instead it seems to have been leaked by an unknown source. The claim of a signal, if it turns out to be truly a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, would be one of the most important discoveries of all times.
In April and May of 2019, the 64-meter-wide Parkes radio telescope, located in Australia, was recording radio transmissions from the direction of nearby star Proxima Centauri. Over the course of hours, the telescope documented data from the star every half an hour, before staying away to look at a different direction. This procedure, called "nodding" was used to make sure that any observed signal is coming from a particular direction, rather than just random radio noise.
This signal was not immediately noticed; it was over a year after the data was recorded that Shane Smith, an assistant with Breakthrough Listen, found it buried in the telescope's recordings. This was in late October 2020. So, what exactly was seen? It was a radio signal at a single frequency, specifically 980. 002 MHz. It was observed to have originated in a small patch of the sky, about half the diameter(直径)of the full moon, centred on Proxima Centauri.
First and foremost, it is important to note that astronomers think it is highly unlikely that the signal is caused by space aliens trying to communicate with us. However,astronomers mentioning the significance of the signal cannot be ignored.
(1)、Why is the movie Contact mentioned in Paragraph 1?A、To show the close connection between fiction and signals. B、To introduce the topic of a radio signal from a near planet. C、To stress the importance of the extraterrestrial civilization. D、To persuade people to pay more attention to radio signals.(2)、How did the radio telescope collect data?A、By recording the data every 30 minutes. B、By staying away at a different direction. C、By analyzing the direction of the signals. D、By focusing on some random radio noise.(3)、What do we know about the radio signal found by Shane Smith?A、It was sent by some space aliens. B、It lay in the centre of Proxima Centauri. C、It was noticed as soon as it was observed. D、It changed rapidly with the passing of time.(4)、What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?A、How aliens think about the radio signal. B、The potential results of the radio signal. C、The importance of finding the radio signal. D、How other countries react to the radio signal. -

The summer holidays have just begun, but it is a busy morning at Cadoxton Primary School, in Barry, an industrial town in Wales. It runs a summer programme for hard-up(拮 据的)children, providing meals and activities over the holidays with the aim of helping kids to spend the time more meaningfully. As young people run laughing and screaming into the school cafeteria for breakfast, their parents hung out, some visibly relieved. Just three days into the six-week school holidays one mother says her nine-year-old daughter has already asked five times to go bowling. "Without the school's help," she says,"it would be a long and expensive six weeks. "
In the popular imagination,school summer holidays conjure up(使 ……呈现于脑际)a picture of carefree youthful exploration. But many parents rely on the term-time services that schools give their kids, such as tutors and meals. If the holidays approach, they can suddenly find their schedules and budgets stretched . Researchers also say that the long break often sets back children's learning, and that children from poorer backgrounds are desperately affected due to their shortage of money.
Many poor children fall behind their wealthier peers over the holidays. "Summer is the most unequal time of the year," says Matthew Boulay of the National Summer Learning Association. "Well-off parents can fill the gap left by school and consolidate(使巩固)their children's unfamiliar knowledge well, keeping their children stimulated with summer camps, trips abroad or private tutors. Poorer families, apparently, find this harder,since their income is relatively low and demand for sponsored activities offered by governments," he adds.
Holidays can be a financial stress, which is absolutely true. In countries where some children receive free school meals, summer means bigger grocery bills for hard-up [amilies. Households where both parents work have to pay for extra childcare, too. The Family and Childcare Trust, a charity, says that in Britain, where childcare costs are the highest in the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries. Parents will spend an average of f33 per child per week on childcare this summer, mainly because of the sharp shortage of governmental funding sponsor.
(1)、What is the purpose of the summer programme?A、To lengthen students'school life. B、To keep students busy all the time. C、To provide students with free meals. D、To enrich students'summer holidays.(2)、What does the underlined word"stretched" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Rich. B、Tight. C、Reasonable. D、Affordable.(3)、Which statement does Matthew Boulay probably agree with?A、Badly-off parents are likely to give up sponsoring their kids. B、Well-off parents are unwilling to offer their kids extra tutors. C、Students from poor family can well deal with the peer pressure. D、Students from rich family can strengthen their learned knowledge.(4)、Why must British parents pay for the childcare in summer holiday?A、Because of insufficiency of free tutors. B、Because of shortage of social sponsor. C、Because of shortage of free school meals. D、Because of lack of governmental support. -

15、 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.
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend was different from any other friends they had brought home. With a yellowish coat and tiny brown spots dropped across her nose, she was the cutest puppy I had ever seen.
When my husband got home that evening, he recognized the breed——a beagle puppy(猎兔犬), not more than twelve weeks old, he guessed. She ran to him right away and after dinner climbed into his lap to watch TV. By now the girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn't know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn't want to. It would break the kids' hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely. I tried to find seemingly logical reasons to explain my behavior.
By the end of the week, she was part of our family. We had named the puppy Molly. She was very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time for the girls to take responsibility for another life, so they would learn the nurturing skills they'd need if they decided to become mommies when they grew up.
The following week, something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was asking for the return of a lost beagle puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Instead, I pretended I hadn't seen the ad.
Paragraph 2: I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately seeking.

On the east bank of Chaohu, China's fifth-largest freshwater lake, rests a (mystery) ancient "kingdom" of jade called Lingjiatan.
In Chinese culture, jade plays a significant role and has been long consideredessential symbol of harmony. Phrases like "replace weapons of war with gifts of jade and silk" and "gentle as jade" perfectly showjade symbolizes in the minds of Chinese people. Taiping Village, 40 kilometers north of Lingjiatan, has a volunteer team called "Taiping Women", which(found) by Wang Zilian several years ago. The name of the team, like jade, represents women who promote peace and harmony. Whenever any village r needs help, Wang and her teammates servethe first responders.

CHALLENGING STUDENT MYTHS
Everybody wants to be happy, lives in harmony with their parents and makes them proud, but in reality you may find yourself worried or even upset.. However, it may surprise you to know that research can help you become a more efficient and well-balanced student. Let's examine some student myths that may be interfering(干涉) with your progress.
"The most successful students have no worries in exams. "
. In fact, these students do suffer stress-just like those with average or below average scores. In the UK, a database in 2021 showed that doctors provided more calming drugs for students aged between sixteen and eighteen than they had ever done before. Many of these drugs were for very able students to help them cope with stress and exam pressure. So remember, be realistic about your abilities.
""
It is just this kind of remark that produces pressure in anybody who is already anxious. Research shows that the most effective learning takes place if you use a quite different approach. So, adjust your study plan and take time to relax. In fact, an efficient learner knows how to strike a balance between work and rest..
"I won't be successful in the future if I don't go to a key university. "
This worry does affect many Chinese students and their parents. But how true is this point of view?. First, clearly not everyone can go to a key university. Second, even if you don't go to a key university, there is still the opportunity of going to one for post-graduate study. Third, if you take a course you like and do quite well in it, your motivation, training and hard work will impress your future employer. Remember, it is never too late to learn more!
A. Let's look at the evidence
B. The most efficient students have more flexible approaches to learning
C. Some of these students are suffering harmful consequences
D. Only students who work day and night will succeed
E. This is a common assessment made of students with high scores in school
F. Above all, don't become rigid in your approachwork hard but also work smart
G. Following a trend without thinking carefully can make you stressed and depressed

Could a new treatment developed by the US company Lilly mean "the beginning of the end" of Alzheimer's? Could we even cure it some day? These are headlines and questions swirling (流传) around after news of a new drug, called donanemab, showed promising results in phase -3 trials.
The brain science behind Alzheimer's is complex, but CT and MRI scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain, including the abnormal buildup of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles. The damage starts in the parts of the brain essential for forming memories but then spreads throughout the organ, with brain tissue shrinking significantly.
Developing treatments for Alzheimer' s has been a challenge, with almost 20 years passing with no new drugs. But in the last year, two new ones have emerged: donanemab and lecanemab. Neither are cures or magic bullets for the disease, but they do address key symptoms. They target the amyloid proteins that can accumulate in the brain and damage neurons, slowing down its progression.
While this news is exciting, there are major caveats. One is whether it will ever become available on the NHS. The cost is estimated to be about £20, 000 per person per year of treatment.
Another is the serious side-effects: in the study, brain swelling occurred in 24% of participants and brain bleeding occurred in 31. 4% on the drug compared with 13. 6% in the placebo(安慰剂) group. There were also three deaths during the trial.
Part of the problem for me, as an academic, in assessing the drug is that the full results of the trial haven't yet been shared publicly or published in a peer-review journal. We cannot access the full data or examine the trial yet, and there is always a motivation for private companies to overstate the effectiveness of new drugs. Trial results need to be assessed by an independent body of experts.
While it is unlikely to change clinical practice until at least 2025, the news of donanemab is again an indication that science is continuing to make progress when it comes to treating the major causes of illness and death, even one related to the highly complex inner workings of the brain. So, there are caveats and the need for caution, but these new drugs are indeed the grounds for that rare thing these days: hope.
(1)、What can we learn about Alzheimer from the passage?A、There exists a new drug to cure it completely. B、Most people will develop Alzheimer when they are old. C、It is caused by the accumulation of some proteins in the brain. D、It results from the loss of memories as people get older.(2)、What does the underlined word "caveats" mean in paragraph 4?A、Warnings. B、Discussions. C、Debates. D、Weaknesses.(3)、What is the problem of the new drug according to the author as an academic?A、It has the serious side-effects such as brain bleeding and deaths. B、The effectiveness may be blown up without fair assessment. C、The cost of the new drug is out of reach for ordinary people. D、There is no possibility for new drugs to be admitted into the NHS.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards the new drug?A、Approving. B、Doubtful. C、Unclear. D、Indifferent.
