21、Everyone has done experiments in high school laboratories，but have you ever thought about designing a satellite to explore space？
On Nov．19，a team of students from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in the US awed peers and even scientists by successfully launching a satellite．
The first satellite designed and built by high school students was sent up into space along with a record-setting．28 other small ones on a rocket were sent from a NASA center in Virginia，CNN reported．It took the students seven years to build．
The students call their tiny satellite TJ3Sat，which is named after their school．It is just 10x10x12 centimeters and weighs only 0．89 kilograms，according to Orbital Sciences，a company which developed the rocket and supported the students’ project．It can be controlled with a smartphone．
Like most satellites，TJ3Sat can send and receive data．The small spacecraft is equipped with a voice synthesizer (合成器)，which can switch text to voice and transmit those sounds back to Earth over radio waves，said Orbital officials．In this case，anyone can give it a try via the project’s website (school website) by submitting (提交) a text．The texts that get approved will be sent to the satellite，changed to voice and then broadcast back to Earth via radio waves．
“I can say ‘Go Colonials’on our ground station and when it is on the other side of the world，in India，someone can hear‘Go Colonials’over the radio，”the team explains on the website．
The satellite will stay in space for at least three months．
School principal Evan Glazer told The Washington Post that the project started in 2006 as an activity in the spare time．Later it became a research project for a select group of seniors．
At a time when American students are busy with SATs，the launch of the satellite shows what diligent teenagers can achieve when allowed to pursue their own curiosities，Glazer said．
“It used to be that kids growing up wanted to be an astronaut,” Andrew Petro，program executive (主管) for small spacecraft technology at NASA，said in a statement．“I think we might be seeing kids saying what they want to do is build a spacecraft．The idea here is that they really can do that．”
【1】The underlined word “awed” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____．
A．influenced
B．amazed
C．delighted
D．inspired
【2】Which of the following statements about TJ3Sat is TRUE according to the article？
A．It took a group of students about a decade to build the satellite．
B．Besides TJ3Sat，28 other small satellites were built by the students．
C．TJ3Sat can receive text messages that the students send into space，which can be changed to voice messages and broadcast back to Earth．
D．TJ3Sat is expected to stay in orbit for the next year，sending out messages together with information about its position in space．
【3】According to the article，the launch of the satellite _______．
A．is evidence of the advance of spacecraft technology
B．proves that hard-working teenagers can achieve a lot
C．shows the importance of extracurricular activities at school
D．has inspired many people to take an interest in space travel
22、The skies over Latin America’s largest city are set to witness a futuristic aerospace revolution after the Brazilian airline Gol reached an agreement that could see it transport regular passengers around São Paulo in hundreds of low-cost zero-emission electric air taxis.
Dómhnal Slattery, chief executive of the Dublin-based firm Avolon, which will provide the aircraft to Gol and recently placed an order for 500 of the aircraft from their British manufacturer, admitted helicopters were the “kingdom of the wealthiest”.
But the Avolon boss claimed the introduction of VA-X4 eVTOLs (electric vertical(垂直的) takeoff and landing) aircraft to São Paulo would be a gamechanger for regular passengers once the taxis, which look like a futuristic cross between a helicopter and a glider, were delivered in late 2024 or 2025.
“Our basic estimate (估计) at the moment is that the operating cost here for this aircraft will be equal to $1 per passenger over a 25-mile trip,” Slattery told the Financial Times. “Which is almost equal to an Uber ride.”
Few cities are crying out for such a revolution more than São Paulo, a sprawling metropolis with more than 12 million citizens and choked by a fleet of 8.6m vehicles.
In the late 1990s, the congestion (拥塞) became so bad in what is now the world’s fifth biggest city after Tokyo, Delhi, Seoul and Shanghai that authorities were forced to introduce a number plate rotation (循环) system for vehicles.
Stephen Fitzpatrick, the head of the British aerospace manufacturer that produces the aircraft, Vertical Aerospace, said the flying taxis would be ideal for Brazil’s biggest city and will “transform how we travel around high population density cities that are crowded with traffic”.
The Bristol-based Vertical Aerospace was founded in 2016 and promises to pioneer “a new era in vertical transport”.
“We’ll be looking to Asia after São Paulo,” Avolon’s chief commercial officer, Paul Geaney, told Reuters.
【1】What did Dómhnal Slattery think of helicopters?
A．They could be afforded by all.
B．They could be mostly used by the rich.
C．They provided convenience for travellers.
D．They showed the owners’ social status.
【2】What is the advantage of electric air taxis?
A．Eco-friendliness.
B．Traditional design.
C．Zero noise.
D．Free delivery.
【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A．The flying taxis will be ideal for Brazil’s biggest city.
B．More cities are eager for electric air taxis than São Paulo.
C．The Avolon will enter the Asian transportation market soon.
D．Travelling by VA-X4 eVTOLs can be more convenient but more expensive than by Uber.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Uber Ride—a futuristic aerospace revolution
B．Advanced vertical aircrafts ordered by the Avolon Company
C．VA-X4 eVTOLs—a lifesaver for high population density cities
D．Electric air taxis to make their first appearance in Brazil’s most congested city
23、 Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London’s “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).
【1】The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.
A.help travelers pass time
B.attract lots of travelers to the UK
C.allow travelers to make flexible plans
D.cause travelers to pay more for living
【2】“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.
A.a hotel away from the train station B.the tube line to Covent Garden
C.an ideal holiday destination D.the name of a travel agency
【3】The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat ________.
A.lies on the ground floor
B.is located in central London
C.provides cooking facilities for tourists
D.costs over £100 on average per day in late September
24、Engaging Socially
There are many ways to be an important member of a group, and you probably already have a natural role within the groups that you engage with. This role may not be someone who is at the center of attention at all times, but your role is important.【1】 .
Once you’ve developed your opinions, be confident and express them. If you simply agree in arguments and discussions, you won’t stand out from the crowd. Feel free to express your opinion when discussing issues like politics and current events. 【2】
【3】 . You don’t necessarily have to be the life of every party, especially if it goes against your nature, but try to laugh and loosen up when out in public. This will make you stand out as a fun, interesting person to have around.
【4】. If someone asks about your hobbies and passions, feel free to share. Even if someone doesn’t necessarily know a lot about a particular interest of yours, if you’re passionate about something you can make someone interested.
If you’ve had a lot of unique, interesting experiences, feel free to share your stories.【5】. Share amusing anecdotes, stories of travel, and other unique stories you have.
A．This will make people notice you more.
B．People want to be around those who are fun.
C．Never be shy about expressing your interests.
D．Others will love experiencing your life indirectly.
E．However, you can work on recognizing your best qualities.
F．Think about your role in a group and try to be proud of this contribution.
G．So try your best to attract the attention of your group and show your own importance.

26、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。
It was a typical Monday morning for Jenny, a diligent high school senior. The sound of her alarm clock woke her up, a rude awakening from her sweet dreams. She unwillingly opened her eyes, knowing what waited for her-another 5 long days at school.
Dragging herself out of bed, Jenny went through her usual morning routine. She hurriedly got dressed, grabbed her backpack, and rushed to the kitchen for breakfast. Her mother had prepared a nutritious meal, but Jenny had no appetite. She was too occupied with thoughts of an upcoming exam in her most challenging subject, mathematics.
As Jenny walked to school, her mind wandered back to the countless hours she had spent studying and practicing equations (方程式). She had put in lots of effort, hoping to improve her grades. However, despite her dedication, she was struggling to achieve the desired results. Doubts started crawling in, and anxiety stayed in her mind like dark clouds.
As students settled into their seats, Mr. Johnson, their math teacher, announced that the exam would take place that afternoon. Jenny started to feel afraid. She suddenly realized that she had forgotten her calculator at home, an essential tool for the exam. Panic turned into hopelessness, as she knew that borrowing one during the test would be strictly prohibited.
Jenny’s friends, Emma and David, noticed her worry and approached her after class. They offered their help. Emma suggested that Jenny be honest to Mr. Johnson and explain her situation. David, however, had a different plan. He proposed sneaking (偷偷给) his calculator to her during the exam, risking punishment for cheating.
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。
Jenny’s heart sank.
