Every child who grows up in a big family needs a little peace sometimes. As a little girl, Nalini Nadkarni discovered one place where she could always find it. She would climb up into the tall trees around her home. There, high in the trees, she made herself a promise. One day, she would become someone who could use her love of trees to help protect them.
As she grew, she became interested in the rainforest. Looking up into the forest trees, Nalini thought there were surely things to be learned in the treetops. She was told, however, that there was nothing important to learn high above her head. Luckily, that didn’t stop her. Instead, she used her rock climbing skills to safely reach the forest treetops. There, she discovered the whole ecosystem. It needed to be studied so scientists could get deeper understanding of the rainforest.
Dr Nadkarni also discovered the importance of canopy soil(树冠层土壤). When mosses(藓)and other plants that live on trees die, they slowly become canopy soil. The soil is nutrient-rich, and the whole ecosystem depends on it. Even the trees themselves take nutrients from canopy soil.
To create greater interest in forest studies, Dr Nadkarni really got creative. In the early 2000s, she bought second hand Barbie dolls and turned them into “forest Barbies”. Finally, Mattel, the company behind Barbie, used Dr Nadkarni’s idea to create dolls to make science interesting to children everywhere. Now, Dr Nadkarni can truly consider her childhood promise well kept.
4 When could Dr Nadkarni find peace as a little girl
A. When she was in the tall trees.
B. When she was in the rainforest.
C. When she was doing researches.
D. When she was with her family.
5. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to
A. The forest treetops
B. A different opinion
C. Dr Nadkarni’s bad luck
D. The dangers of climbing trees
6. Why did Dr Nadkarni use Barbie dolls
A. To raise money for her research
B. To help Mattel reach more children
C. To make her childhood dream come true
D. To make children more interested in science
7. Which of the following is TRUE about Dr Nadkarni
A. She is a creative scientist.
B. She can’t keep her promise.
C. She was born into a small family.
D. She loved Barbie dolls as a little girl.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Nalini Nadkarni从小就喜欢在树上寻找安宁,长大后,开始对雨林感兴趣,然后开始研究雨林以及其所处的生态系统,还发现了树冠层土壤的重要性,而且还创造了“森林芭比娃娃”,激发人们对森林研究更大的兴趣,进而达到保护森林的目的。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Every child who grows up in a big family needs a little peace sometimes. As a little girl, Nalini Nadkarni discovered one place where she could always find it. She would climb up into the tall trees around her home. (每个在大家庭中长大的孩子有时都需要一点安宁。当她还是个小女孩的时候,Nalini Nadkarni就发现了一个她总能找到安宁的地方。她会爬上她家周围的大树)”可知,当Nalini Nadkarni还是个小女孩的时候,她在大树上能找到安宁,故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Looking up into the forest trees, Nalini thought there were surely things to be learned in the treetops. She was told, however, that there was nothing important to learn high above her head. Luckily, that didn’t stop her. Instead, she used her rock climbing skills to safely reach the forest treetops. (Nalini抬头望着森林里的树木,她想在树梢上肯定可以学到一些东西。然而,她被告知,头顶上没有什么重要的东西需要她去学。幸运的是,that并没有阻止她。相反,她用自己的攀岩技巧安全地到达了森林的树梢)”可知,她认为树梢上有重要的东西可以学习,而别人认为上面没有什么她可学习的,但是别人的观点并没有阻止她,她依然爬上了树梢去探索,所以可知“that”指的是和她不一样的观点,故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To create greater interest in forest studies, Dr Nadkarni really got creative. In the early 2000s, she bought second hand Barbie dolls and turned them into “forest Barbies”. Finally, Mattel, the company behind Barbie, used Dr Nadkarni’s idea to create dolls to make science interesting to children everywhere.(为了激发人们对森林研究更大的兴趣,Nadkarni博士真的发挥了创造性。在21世纪初,她买了二手芭比娃娃,并把它们变成了“森林芭比娃娃”。最后,芭比娃娃背后的美泰公司利用Nadkarni博士的想法创造了芭比娃娃,让世界各地的孩子都对科学感兴趣。)”可知,Nadkarni博士用芭比娃娃是为了激发人们尤其是孩子对森林研究的兴趣,也就是对科学的兴趣,故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To create greater interest in forest studies, Dr Nadkarni really got creative. In the early 2000s, she bought second hand Barbie dolls and turned them into "forest Barbies". (为了激发人们对森林研究更大的兴趣,Nadkarni博士真的发挥了创造性。在21世纪初,她买了二手芭比娃娃,并把它们变成了“森林芭比娃娃”)”可知,Nadkarni博士是一个有创造性的科学家,故选A。
C
Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Straus, and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee’s morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity.
Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
8. Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now
A. They make him feel relaxed when working.
B. He cannot afford to buy expensive clothes.
C. He looks handsome in casual clothes.
D. He no longer works for any company.
9. What do we know from paragraph two
A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
10. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE
A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
D. All the employers in the US are for casual office wear.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the casual wear
A. Subjective B. Favorable
C. Objective D. Indifferent
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是越来越多的公司允许职员在上班期间穿着随意,而不是必须穿正装,文章也分析其背后的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段的“He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”(他几乎从不打领带。“我比以往任何时候都更努力工作,”大卫说,“我需要感觉舒适。”)”可知,大卫·史密斯现在穿休闲装是因为休闲装使他在工作时感到放松。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”.(上世纪90年代初,许多公司允许员工在周五穿休闲装(但仅限于周五)。这被称为“便装星期五”。)”和“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.(一开始只是为员工提供一周一天的额外福利,现在已经变成了日常事务。)”可知,“便装星期五”最初是雇主们的恩惠。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段“Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity.(只有4%的雇主表示,休闲装对工作效率有负面影响。)”可知,只有百分之四的雇主认为穿着随意会对工作效率有负面影响,故不是所有的雇佣者都支持穿着随意,因此D选项不正确,故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“In a study conducted by Levi Straus, and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee’s morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity.(在李维斯公司进行的一项研究中,85%的雇主表示,他们认为休闲装可以提高员工的士气。只有4%的雇主表示,休闲装对工作效率有负面影响。)”和最后一段的“Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money.(办公室休闲装的支持者还认为,休闲的着装要求可以帮助他们省钱。)”可知,作者只是客观陈述雇主对员工穿休闲装的态度,因此态度是客观的,故选C。
D
Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “ extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology.
12. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes
A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded.
B. NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways.
C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small.
D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics.
13. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims
A. They are supported by comprehensive data.
B. They are based on limited driving environment.
C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers.
D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA.
14. What can we know about Full Self-Driving
A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed.
C. It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly.
15. Which title best summarizes the content of this text
A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars
B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road
C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology
D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了围绕特斯拉“自动驾驶”汽车的担忧和质疑。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. (然而,这些统计数据并不能记录由于汽车的安全特性而避免的事故。)”可知,避免的事故没有被计入撞车统计。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. (特斯拉的安全声明缺乏背景,因为自动驾驶仪主要是为高速公路设计的,而大多数事故发生在更复杂的环境中,有交叉交通、行人和骑自行车的人。)”可知,特斯拉的安全声明是基于有限的驾驶环境的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. (全自动驾驶不允许汽车完全自动驾驶,司机需要保持注意力,随时准备干预。)”可知,全自动驾驶需要司机保持专注。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. (特斯拉的自动驾驶汽车最近受到调查,因为一份关于车祸的报告引发了对其安全性的质疑。)”可知,本文主要讲述了围绕特斯拉“自动驾驶”汽车的担忧和质疑。故选A项。

Gradually, fear came into her heart. What should she do How could she get rid of this terrible man To deal with this situation, she decided to drive quickly to the police station where Sam worked. However, she was even more surprised when she saw the car still followed her and stopped behind her. “How dare he follow me here ” she said to herself. She could feel her heart beating faster than ever. At that time, Sam was standing on duty outside the police station. Seeing Sam wearing a police uniform, she was more than delighted that she would be safe.
At once, she jumped out of her car and ran to Sam without any delay. Pointing at the man inside the car, she said a bad man was following her and asked Sam to arrest him. To find what was happening, Sam walked towards the man who had stopped his car near the woman’s.

The man just smiled and started to tell the truth. Actually, the man just wanted to give the purse back to the woman. He said when the woman got into her car, she dropped the purse on the street unconsciously. The man was parking his car near the woman and saw what had happened. So he started to drive his car to chase the woman. The woman opened the purse and made sure nothing was lost. She bowed to the man, took out 100 dollars and handed it to the man. But the man had left before she knew it.
Then, Sam was lost in thought and began to talk with the woman. He told her that though not handsome, the man had a heart of gold. In addition, he taught her not to judge men by their looks. After hearing Sam’s words, the woman felt embarrassed about what she had done. Luckily, she realized her fault and felt grateful to the man. The woman promised that next time, when she saw something strange, she would not make any judgement until figuring out the truth.

Every child who grows up in a big family needs a little peace sometimes. As a little girl, Nalini Nadkarni discovered one place where she could always find it. She would climb up into the tall trees around her home. There, high in the trees, she made herself a promise. One day, she would become someone who could use her love of trees to help protect them.
As she grew, she became interested in the rainforest. Looking up into the forest trees, Nalini thought there were surely things to be learned in the treetops. She was told, however, that there was nothing important to learn high above her head. Luckily, that didn’t stop her. Instead, she used her rock climbing skills to safely reach the forest treetops. There, she discovered the whole ecosystem. It needed to be studied so scientists could get deeper understanding of the rainforest.
Dr Nadkarni also discovered the importance of canopy soil(树冠层土壤). When mosses(藓)and other plants that live on trees die, they slowly become canopy soil. The soil is nutrient-rich, and the whole ecosystem depends on it. Even the trees themselves take nutrients from canopy soil.
To create greater interest in forest studies, Dr Nadkarni really got creative. In the early 2000s, she bought second hand Barbie dolls and turned them into “forest Barbies”. Finally, Mattel, the company behind Barbie, used Dr Nadkarni’s idea to create dolls to make science interesting to children everywhere. Now, Dr Nadkarni can truly consider her childhood promise well kept.
4. When could Dr Nadkarni find peace as a little girl
A. When she was in the tall trees.
B. When she was in the rainforest.
C. When she was doing researches.
D. When she was with her family.
5. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to
A. The forest treetops
B. A different opinion
C. Dr Nadkarni’s bad luck
D. The dangers of climbing trees
6. Why did Dr Nadkarni use Barbie dolls

B. To help Mattel reach more children
C. To make her childhood dream come true
D. To make children more interested in science

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Straus, and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee’s morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity.
Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
8. Why does David Smith wear casual clothes now
A. They make him feel relaxed when working.
B. He cannot afford to buy expensive clothes.
C. He looks handsome in casual clothes.
D. He no longer works for any company.
9. What do we know from paragraph two
A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
10. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE
A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
D. All the employers in the US are for casual office wear.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the casual wear
A. Subjective B. Favorable
C. Objective D. Indifferent
D
Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “ extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not.
Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates.
Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility.
Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise.
