People predict that electric cars might be more common in the future. But according to a 2022 survey by Pew Research Center, more than half of U.S. adults like gas-powered cars better. They say electric cars are expensive and charging them is a big problem. For now, most people plan to stick with gas-powered cars. We ask young readers what they think about electric cars.Henry, 12 years old, San FranciscoYESI think we should all have electric cars. This would cut down air pollution and allow us to breathe better. Cleaner air also means there will be fewer animals dying. Think of all the lives we have lost by destroying our environment.Some people think electric cars are pricey. But their prices are coming down. What's more, gas costs a lot more than electricity. Once you use the gas, it's gone. Anyway, I think we're going to run out of gas at some point. This will make electric cars a need. Also, do you know that electric cars can travel 33 miles for about a dollar? You can't say that for gas. All cars should be electric!Sandy, 13 years old, New York NoI don't think all cars should be electric. First of all, charging stations are less common than gas stations. This makes electric cars a lot less convenient for long trips. What's more, cold weather does harm to the batteries. They can't work well as usual. And electric cars are also more expensive than common cars. A new electric car usually costs around $11, 000 more than a new gas car. True, electric cars help slow climate change. But throwing batteries away can hurt our planet.36. What do over half of the American adults agree according to the survey?A. Electric cars have no problem in charging.B.日ectric cars are bad for the environment.C.日ectric cars are expensive and less convenient.D. Electric cars can work better in cold weather.37. What does the underlined word "pricey" probably mean?A.Fast. B.SIow. C.Valuable. D. Expensive.38. How does Sandy develop her idea?A. By telling stories.B. By listing facts.C. By asking questions.D. By using sayings.39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Should all cars be electric?B. Will cars be common in the future?C. Can electric cars help slow climate change?D. Are gas-powered cars bad for the environment?40. Where can you probably read this passage?A.A novel.B. A magazine.C. An advertisement.D. A brochure.BEvans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp （煤油灯）.Evans' eyes hurt and thismade studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives.Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people's eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, "Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook." The solar lamps made a big difference.41. What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Leaving school.B. Doing homework.C. Having eye problems. D. Having a bright idea.42.

Evans went to a university.b. Thousands of people had safe light.c. His first solar lamp was invented.d. Kerosene lamps hurt Evans' eyes.e. Recycled materials were used in the lamps.f. People from many countries gave away money.A.d-a-c-c-f-b B. d-f-b-a-e-c C.a-d-f-e-c-b D.a-e-c-d-f-b44. Why does the writer give Julia's example in Paragraph 5?A. To share Julia's experience.B.

Humorous, clever and friendly.D. Hard-working, loving and creative.CFor thousands of years, humans have dreamed of flying. The ancient Greeks told the legend of Icarus, a boy who flies so high that the sun melts his man-made wings and he comes crashing down to Earth. Across history, many more people have died after jumping from a tower or cliff with man-made wings that didn't quite work. Flying, for humans, seemed an impossibility.Yet, many continued to dream of flying as free as birds. One such dreamer was the great 15th-century artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci. He studied the flight of birds and even designed his own flying machines, but they-and he-never left the ground.Five hundred years later, standing on a windy hill in North Carolina, in the U.S., I was about to make the dream come true. Unlike Leonardo, I had the help of a hang glider - a light, modern machine that makes flying simple and safe enough even for tourist entertainment. I held on to the hang glider as tightly as I could. Terrified, I ran down the hill. Suddenly, I was running in the air. I was flying! What a thrill! Now I wanted more.A friend in my hang gliding class suggested I next try a "tandem flight." She explained that it's flying in a hang glider for two people. A small airplane tows （拖）you up 600 meters into the air and lets you go.Of course, hang gliding is not the only way mankind has learned to enjoy the freedom of flight. Today, some people skydive, while others - known as BASE jumpers - enjoy the excitement of jumping off buildings, cliffs, and bridges, often illegally. They free-fall for a few exciting moments, and then open a parachute before hitting the ground. Switzerland's Yves Rossy might disagree. The wings he has invented for personal flight have four small engines. He steers （驾驶） them just by moving his shoulders. One of his longest flights was across the water from France to England, flying like a bird. "It's awesome; it's great; it's fantastic!" says Rossy. Since then, he has continued to improve his wing design, and hopes he can "motivate the next generation of thinkers to do something different. even if it seems impossible."46. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Leonardo da Vinci's dream of flying.B. Why some people continue to try to fly.C. How the Greeks were the first to try to fly.D. How people have always dreamed of flying.47. What is true about a "tandem flight"?A. You control a small airplane.B. You are able to fly above 700 meters.C. You fly together with another person.D. You take off from the top of a building.48. What is NOTtrue about BASE jumping?A. Parachutes are used.B. People land on the ground.C. People jump from airplanes.D. BASE jumps are often illegal.49. Which of the following would probably NOT be used to describe Yves Rossy's attitude about flying?A. Passionate. B. Optimistic. C. Confident. D. Doubtful.50. In which position should this sentence be added to this section of paragraph 1?They didn't realize that they could never flap their homemade wings hard or fast enough to stay in the air.1 The ancient Greeks told the legend of Icarus, a boy who flies so high that the sun melts his man-made wings and he comes crashing down to Earth. 2 Across history, many more people have died after jumping from a tower or cliff with man-made wings that didn't quite work. 3 Flying, for humans, seemed an impossibility. 4A.lB.2C.3D.4第二节：阅读并回答问题(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分)仔细阅读下文，用完整的句子回答下列问题。回答请勿超出限定字数。Osmanthus (桂花)is one of the most beloved autumn flowers. It is widely planted in China, with a very long planting history of more than 2,500 years. This famous plant even appeared in The Classic of Mountains and Seas. And the flowers are seen in the cities of Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Guilin as their city flower.The name "osmanthus" comes from the Greek word osma, meaning "sweet", and anthos, meaning "flower". Since the ancient times, osmanthus has been a symbol of nice things, like peace, love and happiness.Legend has it that there was an osmanthus tree on the moon. A man named Wu Gang was ordered to cut it down. However, the tree could grow again. Wu had to keep on cutting it again and again on the moon. The tree has been growing till now.Osmanthus flowers between September and October, and it is when the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated, so osmanthus has become the best flower for people to enjoy with a full moon. It has been loved by many poets, including Li Qingzhao and Yang Wanli from the Song Dynasty. Yang wrote that the sweetness of osmanthus is so clean and rich that it's hard to believe it comes from nature and not the moon in heaven.The Chinese people's love for osmanthus has become a part of their drinks culture. Osmanthus wine and tea are popular traditional Chinese drinks. For those who have a sweet tooth, there are man
