My plan to learn to play the cello（大提琴） was a healthy choice. So I took the
next innocent step. of going to a shop that sells and rents string instruments, especially vi-
olins, violas, and cellos. The place was a hole-in-the-wall, up a steep flight of stairs. In-
struments left a narrow path to the counter where a woman with grey hair and warm eyes
greeted me. Since I couldn't form a question about what I wanted, I just stood there ex-
ploring the scene, which felt immensely pleasurable.
I rented a cello, a bow, and a case to hold them. What attracted me to the cello was
its enormous size and its soft, smooth, and memorable sounds. It's an instrument made of
beautifully polished wood that I could wrap my arms around and feel its powerful vibra-
tions when the strings were played. That was a good starting point for me. The only prob-
lem was that I didn't know how to play it.
5 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司There's a popular belief that the cello is a particularly difficult instrument to learn. An-
other is the admonition, "Don't bother if you are a beginner over age 10!" Well, I was 70,
and what others thought no longer influenced me. And besides, I thought of the words of Dr.
Cohen, who suggested that learning causes physical changes in the brain.
So I found a teacher who had respect for older adult beginners and I practiced dili-
gently, daily for years, and sometimes disheartened, but I kept up. I'm happy to report that
now, more than a decade later, I can hold my own in a string trio and two quartets （two
violins, a viola, and me, the female cello）and even a senior community band. Of course, I'll
never sound like Yo-Yo Ma but you could recognize a Mozart piece if you heard me play it.
And, more importantly, I don't need to please anyone but myself.
Whether it's a pleasurable pastime or a new career, the starting point is the same:
wonder, curiosity, determination, and the desire to keep your brain sharp.
24. How did the writer feel in the shop?
A. Amused by the shop assistant. B. Anxious for a live performance.
C. Pleased at the nice music atmosphere. D. Curious about where to find a
teacher.
25. What does the underlined word "admonition" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Approval. B. Criticism. C. Puzzlement. D. Warning.
26. Why does the writer mention Dr. Cohen in paragraph 3?
A. To recommend a reliable doctor. B. To provide proof for common be-
lief.
C. To add another reason for her decision. D. To stress the crucial function of
the brain.
27. Which of the following can best convey the writer's idea?
A. Art is man's second nature. B. One is never too old to learn.
C. Education is the key to success. D. Happiness is the best form of
health.
C

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Imagine being able to use energy from the sun all the time, even when it's night.
That's the idea that scientists at Caltech （California Institute of Technology）are exploring.
They're working on collecting sunlight in space and sending its energy to Earth.
Caltech's scientists have created a special tool for this project. They call it MAPLE.
MAPLE and two other devices are part of a project that was sent into space in January,
2023. MAPLE's job is to test the idea of sending energy wirelessly from space to Earth.
We're used to using wires to move electrical energy from one place to another. But send-
ing energy without wires is a lot trickier.
The method used by Caltech's scientists depends on the way waves act when they
meet. Imagine two waves coming together as they travel in the same direction. If the tops
of the waves line up, they combine to make a bigger wave. But if the top of one wave
lines up with the low point of the other, the waves cancel each other out. The Caltech
team has found a way to control the timing of lots of microwaves so that they can com-
bine their power, and focus the energy in one direction. It's a little like using a magnifying（放
大的） glass to focus sunlight into a small, hot point of light.
To prove that the system could work, MAPLE sent energy to two devices just 30 cen-
timeters away in space. This energy was then turned into electricity, which made two small
lights light up. Next, MAPLE sent energy all the way down to a lab at Caltech. The sci-
entists were able to detect the energy, proving that it's possible to send solar energy to
Earth from space.
Dr. Hajimiri, one of the project's leaders, thinks that one day, the system could be ex-
tremely useful, bringing energy to places that need it, all over the world. He believes that in
the future, we'll be able to send energy to remote regions and areas destroyed by war or
natural disaster.
28. What is the challenge in Caltech's project with MAPLE?
A. Solar energy detection. B. Wireless energy delivery.
C. Sending devices into space. D. Using wires to move electricity.
29. How does the Caltech team concentrate solar power?
A. By changing the way microwaves act.
B. By magnifying waves coming together.
7 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. By controlling the timing of microwaves.
D. By lining up the waves in opposite directions.
30. What potential benefit could the system bring in the future according to Dr. Ha-
jimiri?
A. Warning people of natural disasters. B. Turning solar energy into electricity.
C. Providing a solution to energy shortages. D. Sending energy to regions in urgent
need.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Use of Solar Energy in Space Exploration
B. The Challenges of Generating Energy Without Wires
C. The Development of a New Tool for Collecting Electricity
D. The Possibility of Sending Energy Wirelessly from Space to Earth

On the streets of Manhattan and Washington, D. C. , in neighborhoods in Seoul and
parks in Paris, ginkgo （银杏） trees are losing their leaves in reaction to the first gust of
cold winter air. This leaf drop, gradual at first, and then sudden, carpets streets with
golden, fan-shaped leaves. Scientists are documenting evidence of the event happening later
and later, a possible indication of climate change. But the story of ginkgos is not the fa-
miliar one of human carelessness with nature.
Thanks to fossils found in North Dakota, scientists found a ginkgo has genetically sim-
ilar ancestors dating back 170 million years to the Jurassic Period. "It almost went extinct.
Then humans rescued it and spread it around the world. It's such a great evolutionary （进
化） and cultural story, " says Peter Crane, a ginkgo expert.
One theory for the decline of the ginkgo species began 130 million years ago, when
flowering plants began spreading. They grew faster and attracted more pollinators （传粉
者） than ginkgos. “"It's possible that ginkgos were elbowed out of the way, " says Crane.
Already competing to survive, ginkgos began to disappear during a time of global cooling
that began around 66 million years ago. By the time the last ice age ended 11, 000 years
ago, the remaining survivors were found in China.
8 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Ginkgo trees are smelly. "My guess is that they were eaten by animals that liked
smelly things. They then passed through their body and grew. " Crane says. Those same
seeds may have helped ginkgo find favor with humans 1, 000 years ago. Once cleaned of
their outer layer, ginkgo seeds are safe to eat. It's then, when the trees had long since dis-
appeared elsewhere, that people in China may have begun planting them and eating their
seeds. Then gradually ginkgos spread across the world. Now it's seemingly naturally resis-
tant to insects and high levels of air pollution.
Crane isn't worried about its future, though: The popularity of the species will help it
survive. "Though its status in the wild may be difficult to access, it's a plant that's unlikely
to ever go extinct, " he says.
32. What may have caused the further delay of ginkgo's leaf drop?
A. The colder weather in winter. B. The protection from city councils.
C. The global warming phenomenon. D. The careless interaction with hu-
mans.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The reasons why ginkgos almost died out.
B. The advantages of ginkgos over other plants.
C. The theories of experts for multiplying ginkgos.
D. The competition between various flowering plants.
34. What might have contributed to ginkgos' survival?
A. Their eatable seeds. B. Their unpleasant smell.
C. The natural evolution. D. The careful planting.
35. How does Crane feel about ginkgos' future?
A. Worried. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Hopeless.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Reading a new story alone is often a great way to relax. However, sometimes you just
want to discuss what you've read with another person to bring those ideas off the page and
into the world. 3 6
First, find members. When you begin searching for your book club members, look in
the places in your life that feel most natural to you. 37 Then, maybe it's posting a
notice on the bulletin board of your local library or bookstore. If you're looking to "get a
range of perspectives" from your club, you may want to consider looking for a diverse
range of ages and genders. They can bring their varied world views to discussions.
38 Will your time together be spent largely focusing on the novel at hand, or
will refreshments ultimately be the most important? There's the typical friends gathering at
someone's apartment and having cheese and wine approach. But oftentimes, people will be
frustrated because they just turn into a social event rather than focusing on the book. In
order to make sure your new group is all on the same page, take the time to discuss what
you want to get out of regular club gatherings before your first official meeting.
Picking books may seem like the trickiest part. Books that work really well are ones
that allow you to reflect on self. They have a lot of entry points for people so they proba-
bly have a good setting. The pacing is solid. There's great character development and the
language doesn't get in the way of the story. 3 9
Before your meetings, list some discussion questions. Remember to come up with
questions depending on your book's genre: romance, mystery, thriller and so on. 40
For example, you may ask which scene has stuck with them the most or whether there are
any standout sentences.
A. It is necessary to set some group guidelines.
B. Here's a look of four of our favorites below.
C. To start, reach out to your friends who love to read.
D. There are also general questions you can start out with.
E. You can never go wrong with the bestseller list to get the ball rolling.
F. Choose something with that criteria and you can please all kinds of readers.
G. If you've ever had the urge to start a book club, it's easier than you might think.

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。
They called him "Donnie the Dung Beetle". Donald didn't mind the comparison, as he
knew that African dung beetles （粪金龟） were known for moving things a thousand
times their own body weight. However, his classmates in Mrs. Beecher's third-grade class
probably didn't know this fact. Nobody knew insects like Donald did, and he figured that
being compared to a dung beetle was not a praise.
One day, Richie made fun of Donald, pointing towards a container under the window
where a small brown ball hung from a branch. Donald tried to explain that it was an egg
case of a praying mantis （螳螂） ， and the exciting part would be when the eggs
hatched. But Richie didn't understand, and neither did most of the other kids. Donald had
brought the egg case from his backyard and was excited when Mrs. Beecher agreed to
make it their class project. He thought having an insect as a class pet might finally give
him something to talk about with the other kids. But after two months of staring at a life-
less brown ball, Donald began to lose hope.
13 / 14
学科网（北京）股份有限公司During science class one day, Mrs. Beecher announced they would start by writing in
their journals. As Donald opened his journal, a leftover particle from his lunch rolled
across the page. When he went to brush it off, he realized it wasn't a particle at all- it
was a tiny praying mantis, barely the size of a grain of rice! Donald bounced out of his
seat, crying out that the eggs were hatching.
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the classroom as more baby mantises started appearing ev-
erywhere. Kids were jumping out of their seats, screaming and waving their arms. Mrs.
Beecher quickly took charge, asking why the lid of the container was off. Richie, who was
supposed to check on the container that day, had forgotten to put the lid back on.
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。
Donald took charge of the situation, directing Richie to get paintbrushes and white pa-

After the successful rescue, Mrs. Beecher asked the class to write about this special
experience.
