I joined the coast guard because I wanted to help people. Hovercraft（气垫船） are rare and special. They've been discontinued in most commercial operation, because they are so expensive to make, but when it comes to search and rescue, they're priceless.
From far away, a hovercraft looks like a normal boat. But if you look under its skirt, the craft is not touching the water —it floats on a cushion of air. That cushion allows us to travel over everything from water to muddy land—and even break through ice. We do all of that as a 70-tonne machine, going a maximum of nearly 120 kilometers per hour. These features allow us to rescue a large number of people quickly get onto land, and get someone into an ambulance far easier than with any other device I can think of.
The advantages of hovercraft can also make them difficult to handle. We've got a massive vehicle moving fast, sometimes in a thick fog bank up a narrow river. During assignments on other coast guard ships, I had 20 minutes to make alterations to avoid a crash. In a hovercraft, I have 10 seconds. You have to have enough situation al awareness to make the right decision every time.-
People call us for all sorts of problems: missing divers, on-board fires, or even when they've run out of fuel or had a mechanical breakdown. A container ship could burst into flames. We have a strong network here at the base to help everyone through difficult situations like that. Thankfully, we have captains who train us in a safe environment, but you don't ever get fully comfortable. Anything can throw the hovercraft off—maybe your lift settings are off a little, or the wind blows with a bit of extra weight. After several years operating a hovercraft, I'm still learning. Every one of the captains here agrees: you can drive this thing for 2Q years and still be surprised.
24. What makes hovercraft unsuitable for commercial use
A. Their safety risks. B. Their poor durability.
C. Their low efficiency. D. Their production costs.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. How a hovercraft works. B. What comprises a hovercraft.
C. What distinguishes a hovercraft. D. How a hovercraft helps victims.
26. What challenge do hovercraft pose to the pilot
A. They have to make faster responses.
B. They often face mechanical breakdowns.
C. They need more people for decision making.
D. They must consider the environmental concerns.
27. What does the author think of operating a hovercraft
A. Dull. B. Demanding. C. Enjoyable. D. Effortless.
C
"Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity," wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a coat's journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric. But with the improvement in people's living standards, that model is mind-boggling in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350.000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival of the second-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes （古董衫） have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers（零售商）want a slice of the action.
For some buyers and sellers, the switch to the second-hand is born of financial difficulties. Only a few have become worried about the impact of their shopping. habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. Some people worry that some mainstream brands may "greenwash" — using second-hand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience. Boohoo, a powerful fast fashion company, has seen sales and profits, despite concerns about environmental problems in its supply chain that led to an investigation last year.
A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. A love of style is not a bad or an unimportant thing. But a committed relationship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as others'
28. What does the word "mind-boggling" underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unbelievable. B. Popular. C. Reasonable. D. Influential.
29. With the business mentioned in paragraph 2, the author wants to show _.
A. old clothes are more popular than new pieces
B. the online second-hand markets are booming
C. the fashion world begins to favor vintage clothes
D. many clothing brands are innovative in their new products
30. How does the second-hand trade impact people according to paragraph 4
A. It encourages people to choose eco-friendly clothes conscientiously.
B. It makes people more cautious about their budgets.
C. It makes people feel free to pursue fast fashion.
D. It pushes people to be more engaged with sustainability.
31. Which of the following views does Worn Stories advocate
A. Old items have lost favor with the public.
B. Old items are worthy of being long cherished.
C. Older generations attach great importance to old items.
D. Older generations care about the quality of their clothes.
D
Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is spread, by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizen's patterns of response to politics. By giving citizens independent access to the candidates, television reduced the role of the political party in the selection of the major party candidates. By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizen's focus on character rather than issues.
Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages on which most of us rely are briefer than they once were. The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting l to 2 hours, which was popular in the nineteenth-century, has given way to the 30-second advertisement and the 10 second "sound bite" in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience for speeches is not that standing in front of the politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a short video of the speech on the news.
In these simplified forms, much of what comprised the traditional political speech of earlier ages has been lost. In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot de tail the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to others. In short videos, politicians assert（断言） but do not argue.
Because television is an intimate （亲密的） medium, speaking through it requires a changed political style that is more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech. Reliance on television means that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires a new set of skills.
Recognizing the power of television's pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events designed to attract media coverage. Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and answers to questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.
32. What do we know about "stump speech" in paragraph 2
A. It's an event created by politicians, to attract media attention.
B. It's an interactive discussion between two politicians.
C. It's a kind of political presentation typical of the nineteenth century.
D. It's a style of speech common to televised political events.
33. It is suggested in paragraph 4 that ______.
A. politicians need to learn to become more personal
B. attractive politicians are favored by citizens
C. citizens tend to favor a politician who analyzed issues
D. citizens need to learn how to evaluate visual political images
34. What can we infer from the passage
A. Political presentations today are more like advertisements than in the past.
B. Politicians today tend to be more familiar with the views of citizens than in the past.
C. Citizens today are less informed about a politician's character than in the past.
D. Political speeches today focus more on details about issues than in the past.
35. What's the best title for the passage
A. Television: a Platform for Political Debate.
B. Television: an Alternative to Stump Speech.
C. Television: an Agent of Change in Politics.
D. Television: a New Medium for Communication.

___37___ It's not unusual to tell someone about something that upset or pleased you six months later It's also easy for people to start from the point of view of "everything you do is rubbish", especially when things are not going well.

A Hearty Welcome
Chase counted his new year gifts one more time as he put a robot-shaped eraser into each envelope.
"Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two."
"Do you have one for everyone in your class " Mom asked.
"Yep!" Chase said. "I'm ready for the party tomorrow!"
When Chase got to school the next day, he saw a new girl in his classroom. She stood near Ms. Robins and looked around shyly.
"This is Eva," said Ms. Robins. "Will someone volunteer to show her around today " Chase raised his hand since he liked showing the new kids around and helping them feel welcome.
"Thanks, Chase," Ms. Robins said. "Now let's get down to our work."
That's when Chase realized he didn't have a new year gift for Eva. No one else would have one either. Chase pictured his classmates' desks covered with gifts while Eva's desk was empty. He felt sad about that.
At a break, he was careful not to mention the party as he showed Eva around the playground. At lunchtime, he walked Eva to the lunchroom, still worried about what would happen at the party. Eva had brought a packed lunch, so Chase showed her where she was supposed to sit and introduced her to some of the kids at her table.
While eating, Chase suddenly remembered that kids often included candy hearts with the new year gifts they exchanged. This won't be a New Year's Day for Eva with no gifts. As he sat down at his table, an idea flooded into his head. He whispered it to the kids around him. Soon everyone at the table was nodding and whispering.
When they were back in the classroom after lunch, Chase told Ms. Robins about their plan. Ms. Robins smiled. "That's very thoughtful," she said. "Let's go for it."
It was math time, so Chase invited Eva to study with him. He made sure Eva sat with her back to the room so she wouldn't notice.
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。
Meanwhile, her new classmates were busying working on something. _________________________________

"Here's your new year gift, Eva. It's from everyone," Chase said. ______________________________________
