Theme parks and amusement parks will be standing tall this season, not just in the sense of proudly displaying
their shiny, brand spanking new rides. The most expected ride of 2020, however, will take you for a face-to-face
encounter with thrilling adventure.
Banshee at Kings Island, Mason, Ohio.Inverted (倒置的) feature trains that hang suspended from the track
above and leave passengers’ legs hanging. They typically offer tight turns with lots of positive G-forces. With a ride
time of 2 minutes 40 seconds and a track length of 4,124 +feet, Banshee is the world’s longest inverted coaster and is
getting so many praises from ride fans. That is really wonderful and exciting.
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The extremely
silly characters from the popular Despicable Me movie bring their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride
film. It’s loaded with laughs, and like the movies,includes some surprisingly touching moments as well.
Goliath at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois. The creative company that is building this new
coaster has an impressive track record of delivering incredibly smooth and satisfying thrill machines. So the
expectation is high for Goliath, which will boast a 180-foot, 85-degree drop and a top speed of 72mph, which will
make it the world's tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It’s both a
mildly thrilling coaster with a unique cradle (摇篮) design that allows the cars to swing back and forth and a forcing
“dark ride” that takes guests into the colourful mine to see the Seven Dwarfs at work. The animated characters are
particularly striking in the attraction, which is the capstone of the park’s New Fantasyland expansion.
21．How does ride fans feel after riding Banshee?
A．Wonderful and excited.
B．Surprised and angry.
C．Disappointed.
D．Hopeless and happy.
22．What is Goliath made of?
A．Steel.
B．Wood.
C．Bamboo.
D．Iron.
23．How is the cradle design of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train?
A．It takes guests into the colourful mine.
B．It has an impressive track record.
C．It brings their powerful funny actions to an engaging 4-D ride film.
D．It allows the cars to swing back and forth.
B
Two months into my Ph.D．, I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with
colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the
discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a
presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain
about my future in science.
I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt
overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to
use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled
to follow the discussions.
After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not
here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I
began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more
confident in expressing my ideas.
Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my
own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they
didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I
realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I
saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work.
You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words.
Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who
leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true
reward of scientific life.
24．Why did the author almost quit her Ph.D．according to paragraph 1?
A．She disliked lab discussions.
B．She lacked future plans in science.
C．She messed up her presentation.
D．She struggled with language barriers.
25．What was the turning point for the author during her Ph.D．studies?
A．Her embarrassing presentation.
B．Returning to her hometown to run a lab.
C．The senior lab member’s supportive remark.
D．Moving to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland.
26．Which word would best describe the author as a teacher?
A．Inspirational.
B．Strict.
C．Humorous.
D．Authoritative.
27．What does the underlined phrase “cross the bridge” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Travel between countries for education. B．Change from a student to a professor.
C．Grow from uncertainty to confidence.
D．Build bonds between professors and students.

When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds
these into machine-learning algorithms, a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a
car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving
hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing
service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people
take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank,
calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to
operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take
about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These
teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game
engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create
virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will
need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than humans. From Porsche’s point of view,
though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to
show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software
takes those boasting rights away?
28．What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Make
B．Reduce
C．Encourage
D．Overlook
29．The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as ________.
A．thought-provoking B．fast-paced
C．time-consuming
D．well-designed
30．What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?
A．Ensuring the pleasure of driving
B．Making their sports cars affordable.
C．Removing public doubts about safety.
D．Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
31．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Porsche’s sports cars are facing serious market risks.
B．Simulators are the most important technology for self-driving cars.
C．Fully reliable and widely accepted self-driving cars still face major challenges.
D．Machine learning algorithms will soon replace human drivers completely.

Karlee Shivley can’t wait to step onto campus as a student at Virginia Tech this fall, but for a long time,
college felt like an impossible dream. Growing up, she had few examples to guide her. Her parents never attended
college, and the process seemed confusing and financially challenging.
“As a senior 2 student at Bassett High School, I really didn’t think I’d be attending a four-year university,”
Shivley recalled. “I didn’t know where to start, and financially, it didn’t seem possible.” That uncertainty shaped her
early high school years, limiting how far she believed she could go.
Things began to change when she became involved in TRIO, a support program. With encouragement from
her advisors, Shivley started to see herself differently. “They encouraged me to push myself academically,” she said,
“and showed me where to find scholarships and apply for financial aid.” More importantly, she began to believe that
college was not only possible, but worth striving for.
Motivated by that support, Shivley challenged herself in ways she had never imagined. She took dual-
enrollment courses, attended Governor’s School, and stayed committed to demanding academic goals. By the time
she graduated from Bassett High School, she had earned an associate’s degree in science — a milestone that
transformed her confidence and ambitions.
“They encouraged me to shoot for the stars,” Shivley said. And she did. This fall, she will attend Virginia
Tech, majoring in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, supported by a well-known Presidential Scholarship.
Looking back, Shivley sees her journey as more than a list of achievements. The experiences reshaped how
she viewed her abilities and her future. What once felt out of reach now feels earned. From doubting whether college
was possible to preparing for a challenging scientific field, Shivley has proved that with the right support, the path to
a brighter future is always within reach.
32．What was Shivley’s initial attitude toward attending college?
A．Doubtful.
B．Dismissive.
C．Tolerant.
D．Ambitious.
33．How did the TRIO program benefit Shivley?
A．It reshaped her self-perception.
B．It reduced her application steps.
C．It funded her entire college education.
D．It expanded her academic perspective.
34．What does the “associate’s degree” mean to Shivley?
A．Financial freedom.
B．A stepping stone to her fame.
C．Evidence of her potential.
D．A shortcut to scientific fields.
35．What does Shivley’s story mainly convey?
A．Knowledge is power.
B．Education begins at home.
C．Love breaks down barriers.
D．One can go far with assistance.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” You’ve likely heard this popular quote before. But these days, it’s more
telling than ever.
Comparing ourselves to others is human nature. 36 But far too often, comparisons become harmful to
the point where your thoughts aren’t your own anymore.
With the explosion of social media, you have the opportunity to compare yourself to nearly every person on
the planet all the time. 37
Here are some expert tips to avoid toxic comparisons and refocus your energy on positive things.
Find your tribe
Although comparison is human nature, you can choose who you compare yourself to. 38 Connect
with like-minded people by joining a class, group or hobby tailored to people with similar interest. Just be mindful
not to compare your efforts to others there — you’re all learning at your own rate. 39
“Go touch grass” is a popular internet saying for “It’s time for a digital detox.” But the funny comment makes a
good point. The outside world is a physical reminder that there are so many things more important than our
waistlines, clothes or bank accounts. If you find yourself caught in a cycle of comparisons, turn off your laptop or
phone and go for a walk outside.
Get a reality check
Have you noticed how rarely you see someone who truly looks like the Instagram models or TikTok stars you
scroll past? Users on social media are known to only post the best pictures or fun stories, even though that is
certainly not reality. 40
A．Take a break from screens.
B．Build a healthy community
C．This often puts a lot of pressure on us
D．Do meditation and practice mindfulness
E．It’s important to appreciate your own achievements
F．You really don’t know what’s going on in other people’s lives
G．In some cases, this can be a good thing, inspiring us to do better

his evening walks.
Years later, during my first year of college, I called home during finals week. 44 by heavy study
tasks, I complained about the hard schoolwork and the cold dormitory. My mother listened with 45 , then
said softly, “Your father has been walking around the house with that old jacket of his, trying to 46 if he
should send it to you. He says it’s warm.” I was greatly 47 that he should be willing to 48 his
most valuable thing to add a little 49 to my life. Right at the moment, I remembered how he’d always

When the jacket arrived, I held it to my chest. It 50 of his usual smell and the warm sunshine. I

love that doesn’t need 55 , a love that travels across miles and warms my heart forever.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Before I came to teach at the China University of Political Science and Law, I had never imagined tea carried
such profound meaning. In the West, tea is considered 56 (function): something to energize or soothe. In
China, even when 57 (share) casually between friends, it carries an unspoken respect. When a student
gives me tea from their home province, it is actually a glimpse of who they are, where they’re from, and 58
they stay connected to it.
Once in Beijing, Professor Ding Wenwen took me to a teahouse and the hostess 59 (lead) me
through the full ceremony, explaining every step with patience. When it was my turn, I did it 60
(awkward), spilled some and forgot the steps. No one corrected me. The point, I realized, wasn’t mastery but 61
(mindful).
Over time, tea has become part of my life and even my go-to gift for friends and family on every trip to
China. Sometimes prior 62 boarding the plane home, I received text messages with 63
(request) — Longjing from Hangzhou, Pu’er from Yunnan. What began as something I didn’t understand has
become something I am trusted to curate (策展). This brings me to the larger point: it’s time for the rest of the world
64 (catch) up with this heritage, 65 has shaped Chinese culture for millennia.

67．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。
Lucas had always believed that if he wanted something badly enough, he just had to try harder. That’s what
everyone told him. “Just focus,” his teachers would say. “Put the phone down,” his parents would remind him. And
Lucas really did try. But somehow, every time he sat down to study, his phone buzzed, and just like that, his good
intentions went out the window.
In the evening before his history exam, Lucas promised himself he would finish two chapters without
touching his phone. He placed it screen-up right next to his textbook, just to keep an eye on it. Ten minutes later, a
notification lit up the screen. He picked it up for “just one minute,” but an hour later he was still scrolling through
videos. His textbook hadn’t moved, his notes were blank, and he dropped his head onto the desk, defeated.
His older sister, Mia, found him like that and asked what was wrong. Lucas sighed that he had zero willpower
and called himself a failure. Mia didn’t laugh. Instead, Mia sat down across from him. “You’re not a failure, Lucas.
You’re just fighting the wrong battle.” She explained a study where researchers asked thousands of teenagers where
they kept their phones while studying. Some kept them nearby, screen on, sound on; others put them in another room
entirely.
When Mia asked who got better grades, Lucas guessed it was the ones who tried harder. But Mia shook her
head. The ones who moved their phones away did better, she said, because physical distance creates psychological
distance. Lucas didn’t need more willpower — he needed a better setup.
That night, Lucas decided to try something different. Before opening his textbook, he got up, walked to the
living room, and dropped his phone into a drawer. He pushed the drawer shut and walked back to his desk.
For a moment, he just sat there. The room felt strangely quiet. No buzz. No glow. No pull. Just him and the
history textbook. He took a deep breath and turned to the first page.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150 个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
An hour later, Lucas rose and headed for the living room.
