1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I was surfing the Internet, planning for our 15th-anniversary trip when a perfect spot attracted me: The Shire of Montana, a "hobbit house", which Jim my husband had dreamed about. I knew he'd be impressed. And our six-year old daughter, Aurora, would like it, too. I was about to book our reservation when I saw a note on the website: No kids allowed. That ruined everything!
Luckily, there was an email address on the site. I plucked up the courage to contact the owner. Soon, a reply arrived, saying, "If you promise that your daughter is responsible and will not touch, she can come." I was relieved, thinking Aurora was a good kid. "This will be okay," I wrote back.
The day finally arrived. We piled into the car. I couldn't help being excited, imagining Jim and Aurora's reactions. We passed a sign that read, "The adventure begins …" Turning onto the Hobbit Lane, I felt a pan g of anxiety. As soon as we got out of the car, I pulled Aurora aside. "Children aren't usually allowed here," I said. "So you have to be very, very careful. You can look at everything, but don't touch." I explained the rule and how terrible it would be to damage anything. Aurora's eyes widened at my nononsense tone. "I promise, Mom," she said.
Obviously, my concern was superfluous. We spent several days at The Shire. Aurora was delighted at each discovery but she never disturbed a thing. She took her responsibility to protect the owner's work seriously. It turned out that respecting boundaries didn't take away the beauty and wonder, it allowed The Shire to remain beautiful and wonderful into the future.
Not so different from a marriage, I thought. Now I understood why we went to this place to celebrate our fifteenth anniversary. Jim and I moved through life side by side as a couple, and we'd learned to accept each other's individuality and boundaries as well. Marriage is full of surprises, challenges and adventures. The key to making it work is respecting each other.

D、She wasn't sure whether her husband would like the place.(3)、Which of the following can replace the underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 4?A、considerable B、important C、unnecessary D、common(4)、What does the author want to convey through the text?A、Don't give up until you try your best. B、Good role models are essential for teaching kids. C、Respect contributes to a happy and lasting marriage. D、Obeying the rules is important when dealing with people. -

13、 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。
By the time we reached the airport, my mother was angry. "We're going to be late,"she said as she pulled into the newly opened parking area.
My husband David and I had come to pick up my oldest son, who had flown to spend theNew Year with the family. As always, Mom had insisted on driving us to the airport.
We picked a lane(车道) that didn't look too busy. When our turn came, Mom rolled down her window to grab the parking ticket from the machine. We watched and waited for the gate to lift so we could drive through. Instead, we heard a voice,"Please take the ticket.""Give me a minute,"Mom answered.
It's a well-known fact that I often talk to myself. So does my mother. So at that time, Ididn't think anything of my mother's words.
The machine sounded again. "Please take the ticket."
"I'm trying. I can't reach it,"she said.
This time, my husband and I glanced at each other with our eyebrows raised. Certainly,Mom knew the voice was automated(自动化的) and not a real person speaking to her.
"Please take the ticket."
"I'm trying. I'm trying. It's too far away. Give me a minute."
In fairness to my mother, automated machines had recently arrived in the world, and there weren't many around yet. We had never run into one at the airport before. In the old days, the machine spit out a parking ticket, and if you couldn't reach the ticket, you simply opened your door and grabbed it. Now, the new metal safety railings(护栏) on either side of the car made it impossible to open the door.
"Please take the ticket."
"It's too far. I'm trying. I'm trying."
The traffic behind us grew impatient. I saw people trying to back their cars so they could find another lane. All the while, the machine continued,"Please take the ticket..."

18、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Scientists agree that predicting(预测) when and where an earthquake will occur and how big it will be is not yet possible. Therefore, much research has focused on coming up with ways to reduce the damage from earthquakes, rather than trying to predict when they will occur. Specifically, finding more information about the place under the surface helps developers and others make safer choices when constructing a building. This is whereNavakanesh M Batmanathan is putting his efforts.
Batmanathan is an earthquake geologist at the National University of Malaysia. He is actively engaged in mapping the areas surrounding earthquakes in Borneo. Faults(断层) are places in the Earth's crust(地壳) that are weak to sudden movement between masses of rock,resulting in occasional earthquakes. Batmanathan is working to map the faults, as well as the infrastructure(基础设施) in the area of the faults, to hopefully reduce the potential damage that can be caused by an earthquake. Developers and engineers can use this knowledge to plan where it is safest to build and where earthquake-resistant structures are needed.
Batmanathan is using a variety of tools to map faults. Working on the ground to map the area is just one of the methods he employs. He also uses images from satellites and ground-penetrating radar(GPR). GPR is a technology that creates an underground image without digging. It has many applications, from finding the water level to understand soil and rock types for construction projects. Batmanathan and others are using this technology to map faults, and the areas around faults, to gain a clearer picture of potential earthquake damage.
It might not ever be possible to know exactly when or where an earthquake will happen,but Batmanathan hopes that his work will help educate people and better prepare them for earthquakes.
(1)、What is the function of paragraph 1?A、Providing evidence. B、Giving suggestions. C、Introducing the topic. D、Drawing a conclusion.(2)、What is Batmanathan actively working on in Borneo?A、Studying volcanoes. B、Recording rivers. C、Predicting earthquakes. D、Studying faults.(3)、What do we know about GPR from paragraph 3?A、It can predict where an earthquake will happen. B、It can be applied in mapping faults. C、It can predict the time of earthquakes. D、It can test the quality of the soil.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Mapping Faults for Safer Construction B、Challenges in Predicting Earthquakes C、The Future of Earthquake Prediction D、Technology for Reducing Earthquakes -
19、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
I couldn't sleep at all last night, and my sister believes it was because I ate a bowl of really spicy(辛辣的) food before bedtime. However, I was skeptical about the connection between spicy foods and sleep. Can eating spicy foods before bedtime truly impact one's sleep quality? Some people believe that eating spicy foods before bedtime can disrupt sleep by increasing body temperature and causing heartburn. It may be worth avoiding spicy foods close to bedtime.
To find out the relation, the researchers in Australia conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of spicy foods on sleep. They provided a group of individuals with delicious late-night meals, alternating(交替) between spicy and mild options. The results revealed that consuming spicy foods led to disrupted sleep patterns, causing participants to take longer to fall asleep and sleep for shorter time. This data supported the belief that there is a correlation between eating spicy foods and experiencing sleep disturbances.
While the exact mechanism(机制) by which spicy foods influence sleep remains unclear,researchers have proposed several possibilities. One is that stomach discomfort resulting from spicy food consumption may affect sleep quality. Additionally, the long digestion(消化) of spicy foods could delay the start of sleep. Furthermore, spicy foods contain something that can raise body temperature, which has been linked to poor sleep in previous studies.
Given these findings, it is advisable to avoid consuming spicy foods before bedtime to promote better sleep. Next time, I will follow my sister's advice and opt for a milder meal in the evening to ensure a restful night's sleep.
(1)、What do people usually think of eating spicy foods before bedtime?A、It can make people addictive to it. B、It can be bad for digestion. C、It can make sleep difficult. D、It can lead to an increase in energy levels.(2)、How did Australian researchers conduct this study?A、By analyzing data. B、By studying papers. C、By doing an experiment. D、By doing interviews.(3)、What can we know from the study?A、Spicy foods take long to digest. B、Body temperature has no effect on sleep. C、Bad eating habit changes sleep patterns. D、Sleep problems may be caused by bad habits.(4)、What is the purpose of this text?A、To forbid children from having spicy foods. B、To suggest not eating spicy foods before bedtime. C、To promote some healthy food that is not spicy. D、To keep up with the latest healthy food research. -
20、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Jiang Shumei wasn't educated as a child, learning her first Chinese character at the age of 60. Now, the 87-year-old grandmother is the proud author of six books. She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sorrow.
Zhang says that her mother had her own way of learning. Whenever she came across characters she didn't know at bus stops or shop signs, she found someone to ask. Once Jiang had learned enough characters, Zhang started giving her books to read. Enjoying the books, Jiang told her daughter that she wanted to write down her own stories to share.
She first put pen to paper in 2012, at the age of 75. It was not easy. Sometimes, completing a single sentence could take a day. Jiang usually started writing at 3 or 4 am, and revised the pieces several times until she was satisfied.
Zhang began publishing her mother's stories on social media platforms in 2013. WhenZhang and her mother drew the attention of Zhang's writer friends, the pair made a decision to publish them. The first book, Time of Trouble, Time of Poverty, was published later that year, and proved to be a success. Some critics even praised it as the "live history of a nation plagued by tough times". The book earned Jiang a lot of fans and sympathy.
So far, the elderly woman has published six books, totaling more than 600, 000characters in length. She lives a healthy life, exercising every day, drinking milk and soy milk, as well as having regular exercise. "If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60?" she asks, jokingly.
(1)、Why did Jiang learn to read in her later years?A、To become a proud author. B、To make up for not going to school. C、To encourage her friends and families. D、To reduce the impact of her husband's death.(2)、What made Jiang decide to publish her first book?A、A strong inner desire. B、The attention from other writers. C、Her daughter's encouragement. D、The development of social media.(3)、What dose the underlined word "plagued" in paragraph 4 mean?A、Aided. B、Enlarged. C、Troubled. D、Defeated.(4)、What can we learn from the last paragraph?A、One is never too old to learn. B、All roads lead to Rome. C、Where there is life, there is love. D、Gold can't be pure and man can't be perfect.
