For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow (影子) , his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation,” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex(复杂的), Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what's the quickest way of getting rid of (摆脱) this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
4. Where does Simon Beck create art
A. On maps. B. On canvas. C. On soccer fields. D. On snowfields.
5. Why did Beck create his first drawing
A. To have fun. B. To prove his talent.
C. To entertain the skiers. D. To develop a new hobby.
6. How did Beck feel about his first artwork
A. Surprised. B. Unsatisfied. C. Annoyed. D. Indifferent.
7. What contributed to Beck’s art creation
A. His passion for skiing. B. His competitive nature.
C. His dream to be an artist. D. His experience of making maps.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艺术家Simon Beck在雪地上创作巨幅几何画的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow.(他通过步行穿过足球场大小、覆盖着未受破坏的雪的区域，创作了大型陆地艺术。)”可知，Simon Beck在足球场大小、覆盖着皑皑白雪的土地上行走，在上面创造出巨大的大地艺术画作。由此可知，他是在雪地上创作艺术画作的。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Simon Beck说的话“‘After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure... ’(有一天滑雪后，我决定在雪地上画一幅画来寻找乐趣) ”可知，Simon Beck一开始是为了找点乐子才在雪地上画画的。故选A。
6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Simon Beck说的话“‘I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation’(当我画第一张画的时候，我真的不知道它会有多好看，但它真的超出了我的预期)” 可知，当 Simon Beck画第一幅画的时候，他真的不知道这幅画会有多好看，但画作真的超出了他的预期。由此可推断，他对他的第一幅作品感到惊喜。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist(59岁的贝克曾是一名地图绘制师，后来成为了一名雪景艺术家)”和第五段中的 “It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.(由于他以前的工作经验，这一点也不具有挑战性。)”可知，Beck以前是一位地图制作者，由于他以前的工作经验，在雪地上画画一点也不具有挑战性。由此可推断，他之前制作地图的经验有助于他的艺术创作。故选D。

While electronics can make life easier and more entertaining, the devices aren’t easy on the environment.
As newer, more advanced devices come out, huge amounts of old electronics are thrown away, instead of being recycled. These items often end up in landfills, where the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can contain noxious materials like lead or mercury (汞) . If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems.
Most electronics require rare metals. These metals must be mined (开采) from the earth. Often the mining process creates serious pollution. In many cases, these materials are getting harder and harder to find. If more e-waste was recycled, many of those rare metals could be taken from old electronic devices instead of being mined. A group known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Forum) is trying to make people more aware of the problems of e-waste. WEEE says that the rare metals and other materials that get thrown out as e-waste every year are worth about $ 57 billion.
Recently, WEEE asked researchers from the United Nations to study a kind of e-waste that’s often not noticed because people don’t consider the items to be electronics. The WEEE calls this type “invisible” e-waste.
The surprising type leading the invisible e-waste group was toys. Worldwide, about 7. 3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. In all, toys make up about 35% of invisible e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The report also shows that other everyday items like alarms, power tools, and computer cables (电缆) are also big sources of invisible e-waste. The UN report says that 36% of the world’s invisible e-waste comes from these three types.
WEEE is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused or recycled.
8. What does the underlined word “noxious” mean in paragraph 2
A. Harmful. B. Critical. C. Powerful. D. Abnormal.
9. How can we reduce the impact of rare metal mining on the environment
A. Looking for alternative options. B. Recycling rare metals from e-waste.
C. Buying rare metals from other countries. D. Reducing the production of electronic devices.
10. Which items account for the highest percentage of “invisible” e-waste
A. Toys. B. Alarms. C. Power tools. D. Computer cables.
11. What is WEEE’s hope for the future of e-waste
A. That e-waste will soon no longer be a problem.
B. A global law on electronic devices will be issued.
C. E-waste will be burned to avoid damage to the environment.
D. Everyone will play a part in the reusing and recycling of electronics.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电子垃圾的危害和隐形电子垃圾的分类，呼吁人们对电子垃圾进行再利用和回收，从而减少电子垃圾对环境产生的危害。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems.(如果这些物质进入地下或水中，污染会导致严重的问题)”可知，此处指电子产品中含有像铅或者汞这样的有毒材料，一旦这些材料进入到土地里或者水里，就会造成严重的污染问题。故画线词意为“有毒的;有害的”，harmful与其同义。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“If more e-waste was recycled, many of those rare metals could be taken from old electronic devices instead of being mined.(如果更多的电子垃圾被回收，许多稀有金属可以从旧的电子设备中提取，而不是开采)”可推知，可以从电子垃圾中回收这些金属来减少稀有金属开采对环境的影响。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The surprising type leading the invisible e-waste group was toys.(令人惊讶的是，在隐形电子垃圾类别中排名第一的是玩具)”可知，玩具是隐形电子垃圾中占比最大的一类产品。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“WEEE is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused or recycled.(WEEE希望随着越来越多的人和政府意识到电子垃圾，他们会做出更大的努力来确保电子产品得到再利用或回收)” 可知，WEEE希望每个人都会在电子产品的再利用和回收中发挥作用。故选D。

A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a tough car that’s completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances without needing a recharging station.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have been working on solar-powered cars for years. In order to create a car that could deal with the kind of tough driving, the students had to design the entire car, from top to bottom.
On top, of course, were the solar panels (电池板) . Most solar panels are only about 20% efficient. That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 97% efficient. They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy.
Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 90 mph. The car weighs just 2, 600 pounds. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car. On the bottom, the team designed a suspension (悬架) system to help the car deal with the bumps (颠簸) and heavy shaking that come when driving over bumpy surfaces.
The team recently took the car on its biggest test— a challenging 620-mile (1, 000-kilometer) test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to drive across desert sand and up mountain roads. The car succeeded in doing all of this— and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that the Stella Terra will help inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it will take five to ten years before car companies are able to build a similar car. “We are pushing the technology forward,” said Wisse Bos, the team's manager.
12. What do we know about Stella Terra
A. It is a self-driving car. B. It has high energy efficiency.
C. It is the first solar-powered car. D. It is not allowed to run on the road.
13. What effect does the suspension system have on the car
A. It increases the car’s speed. B. It reduces the car’s weight.
C. It makes the car run smoothly. D. It improves the car’s energy efficiency.
14. How do the students respond to car companies’ copying their ideas
A. They are worried about it.
B. They are protective of their design.
C. They are planning to re-evaluate their design.
D. They are happy to see car companies adopt their ideas.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Solar-Powered Cars Have a Long History
B. Students Create a Tough Solar-Powered Car
C. Solar-Powered Cars Are the Future of Transportation
D. Efficient Solar-Powered Cars Have Reached Customers
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that the Stella Terra will help inspire car companies to work on similar projects. (这个团队为他们的汽车感到骄傲，但如果汽车公司开始复制他们的想法，他们不会感到沮丧。事实上，他们希望Stella Terra将有助于激励汽车公司进行类似的项目)”可知，他们乐于看到汽车公司采纳他们的想法。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了荷兰的一组学生设计并制造了第一辆完全由太阳能驱动的越野汽车。根据文章第一段“A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a tough car that’s completely powered by the sun.

47. 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。
Tom’s love for soccer ran deep, and he played the game with a passion that was infectious (有感染力的) to everyone around him. But there was one thing that upset him-his worn-out soccer shoes. These shoes had been passed down to him by his older brother, and they were falling apart. With his birthday drawing near, Tom secretly wished for a new pair of soccer shoes to lift his spirits so that he could have a good performance in the game. However, he was well aware of his parents’ constant struggles to make ends meet and knew that such a wish might remain a dream forever.
One sunny afternoon, Tom and his best friend, David, were at school, watching an exciting soccer match. The exciting run and shout, the determination on the athletes’ faces, and their fine equipment were enough to make anyone’s heart race. It was at this moment that Tom said about his biggest birthday wish. He took a long deep breath and said, “How I wish I could have a new pair of soccer shoes for my birthday, but I know it’s impossible.”
David, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but overhear Tom’s words. The idea of helping his best friend achieve this long-held dream began to form in his mind. After school, David ran home and couldn’t wait to share the idea with his mother.
“Mom, I really want to do this for Tom. He’s been playing with those old shoes for so long. It would mean the world to him,” David explained seriously.
His mother smiled warmly, proud of her son’s compassion (同情) . “David, it’s a wonderful idea. It’s not just about the gift; it’s about the thought and effort you’re putting into making Tom’s day special.”
As David thought about how to earn the money, his mother suggested, “You know, David, there are various ways you can earn some extra money to save for the soccer shoes. Many of our neighbors are looking for someone to help with lawn mowing (刈草坪) and other services. Some even need help with newspaper delivery. You can offer your services and earn money that way.”

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
David’s eyes lit up as he realized the potential.

【答案】范文
David’s eves lit up as he realized the potential. “You’re right, Mom! I can mow the lawn and do other jobs for the neighbors to save up the money. It’s a great idea!” David took his mother’s advice to heart and decided to use his weekends productively. He offered lawn-mowing services, and even took on a newspaper delivery job. With each task completed, he was one step closer to achieving his goal of buying the soccer shoes for Tom. The thought of how close he was to making Tom’s wish come true filled him with enthusiasm.
The day of Tom’s birthday finally arrived, and David couldn’t wait to surprise his best friend. At school, David presented the gift to Tom. “Happy birthday, Tom,” he said with a wide smile. Tom, surprised and curious, eagerly tore open the wrapping paper. His eyes widened with astonishment when he saw the pair of new soccer shoes. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Tom said, “David, you did this for me I can’t believe it! Thank you so much!” Tears of joy welled up in his eyes and he hugged his best friend. And David was so happy he finally made his friend’s dream come true.

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow (影子) , his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation,” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex(复杂的), Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what's the quickest way of getting rid of (摆脱) this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
4. Where does Simon Beck create art
A. On maps. B. On canvas. C. On soccer fields. D. On snowfields.
5. Why did Beck create his first drawing
A. To have fun. B. To prove his talent.
C. To entertain the skiers. D. To develop a new hobby.
6. How did Beck feel about his first artwork
A. Surprised. B. Unsatisfied. C. Annoyed. D. Indifferent.
7. What contributed to Beck’s art creation
A. His passion for skiing. B. His competitive nature.
C. His dream to be an artist. D. His experience of making maps.
C
While electronics can make life easier and more entertaining, the devices aren’t easy on the environment.
As newer, more advanced devices come out, huge amounts of old electronics are thrown away, instead of being recycled. These items often end up in landfills, where the chemicals inside them may be a danger to the environment. Electronics can contain noxious materials like lead or mercury (汞) . If these materials get into the ground or water, the pollution can cause serious problems.
Most electronics require rare metals. These metals must be mined (开采) from the earth. Often the mining process creates serious pollution. In many cases, these materials are getting harder and harder to find. If more e-waste was recycled, many of those rare metals could be taken from old electronic devices instead of being mined. A group known as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Forum) is trying to make people more aware of the problems of e-waste. WEEE says that the rare metals and other materials that get thrown out as e-waste every year are worth about $ 57 billion.
Recently, WEEE asked researchers from the United Nations to study a kind of e-waste that’s often not noticed because people don’t consider the items to be electronics. The WEEE calls this type “invisible” e-waste.
The surprising type leading the invisible e-waste group was toys. Worldwide, about 7. 3 billion electronic toys are thrown away each year. In all, toys make up about 35% of invisible e-waste. But the problem is far larger than just toys. The report also shows that other everyday items like alarms, power tools, and computer cables (电缆) are also big sources of invisible e-waste. The UN report says that 36% of the world’s invisible e-waste comes from these three types.
WEEE is hoping that as more people and governments become aware of e-waste, they will make a much greater effort to make sure electronics get reused or recycled.
8. What does the underlined word “noxious” mean in paragraph 2
A. Harmful. B. Critical. C. Powerful. D. Abnormal.
9. How can we reduce the impact of rare metal mining on the environment
A. Looking for alternative options. B. Recycling rare metals from e-waste.
C. Buying rare metals from other countries. D. Reducing the production of electronic devices.
10. Which items account for the highest percentage of “invisible” e-waste
A. Toys. B. Alarms. C. Power tools. D. Computer cables.
11. What is WEEE’s hope for the future of e-waste
A. That e-waste will soon no longer be a problem.
B. A global law on electronic devices will be issued.
C. E-waste will be burned to avoid damage to the environment.
D. Everyone will play a part in the reusing and recycling of electronics.

A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a tough car that’s completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances without needing a recharging station.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have been working on solar-powered cars for years. In order to create a car that could deal with the kind of tough driving, the students had to design the entire car, from top to bottom.
On top, of course, were the solar panels (电池板) . Most solar panels are only about 20% efficient. That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 97% efficient. They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy.
Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 90 mph. The car weighs just 2, 600 pounds. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car. On the bottom, the team designed a suspension (悬架) system to help the car deal with the bumps (颠簸) and heavy shaking that come when driving over bumpy surfaces.
The team recently took the car on its biggest test— a challenging 620-mile (1, 000-kilometer) test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to drive across desert sand and up mountain roads. The car succeeded in doing all of this— and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that the Stella Terra will help inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it will take five to ten years before car companies are able to build a similar car. “We are pushing the technology forward,” said Wisse Bos, the team's manager.
12. What do we know about Stella Terra
A. It is a self-driving car. B. It has high energy efficiency.
C. It is the first solar-powered car. D. It is not allowed to run on the road.
13. What effect does the suspension system have on the car
A. It increases the car’s speed. B. It reduces the car’s weight.
C. It makes the car run smoothly. D. It improves the car’s energy efficiency.
14. How do the students respond to car companies’ copying their ideas
A. They are worried about it.
B. They are protective of their design.
C. They are planning to re-evaluate their design.
D. They are happy to see car companies adopt their ideas.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Solar-Powered Cars Have a Long History
B. Students Create a Tough Solar-Powered Car
C. Solar-Powered Cars Are the Future of Transportation
D. Efficient Solar-Powered Cars Have Reached Customers

47. 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。
Tom’s love for soccer ran deep, and he played the game with a passion that was infectious (有感染力的) to everyone around him. But there was one thing that upset him-his worn-out soccer shoes. These shoes had been passed down to him by his older brother, and they were falling apart. With his birthday drawing near, Tom secretly wished for a new pair of soccer shoes to lift his spirits so that he could have a good performance in the game. However, he was well aware of his parents’ constant struggles to make ends meet and knew that such a wish might remain a dream forever.
One sunny afternoon, Tom and his best friend, David, were at school, watching an exciting soccer match. The exciting run and shout, the determination on the athletes’ faces, and their fine equipment were enough to make anyone’s heart race. It was at this moment that Tom said about his biggest birthday wish. He took a long deep breath and said, “How I wish I could have a new pair of soccer shoes for my birthday, but I know it’s impossible.”
David, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but overhear Tom’s words. The idea of helping his best friend achieve this long-held dream began to form in his mind. After school, David ran home and couldn’t wait to share the idea with his mother.
“Mom, I really want to do this for Tom. He’s been playing with those old shoes for so long. It would mean the world to him,” David explained seriously.
His mother smiled warmly, proud of her son’s compassion (同情) . “David, it’s a wonderful idea. It’s not just about the gift; it’s about the thought and effort you’re putting into making Tom’s day special.”
As David thought about how to earn the money, his mother suggested, “You know, David, there are various ways you can earn some extra money to save for the soccer shoes. Many of our neighbors are looking for someone to help with lawn mowing (刈草坪) and other services. Some even need help with newspaper delivery. You can offer your services and earn money that way.”
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。
David’s eyes lit up as he realized the potential.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of Tom’s birthday finally arrived, and David couldn’t wait to surprise his best friend.
