人与社会——少年实现校车节能
时文原创 Tim Freeman was just twelve years old when he came up with an idea that would make school buses more energy efficient（节能）. This would not only save money, but also help the environment. Five years later, the schoolboy finally saw his dream come true.
It all began when Tim did a short summer course on aerodynamics（空气动力学）.
He found that his school bus had a very square front. It meant it used petrol（汽油） in a low efficiency. He decided to improve the bus.
After thinking about it for a while, Tim came up with the idea of putting a large piece of strong plastic on the front of the bus, covering the windscreen（挡风玻璃）.
His science teacher loved the idea and encouraged him.
Over the next year, Tim used the money to build a small model of his invention. He did tests on it by putting it on a toy school bus and seeing how it performed in a little wind tunnel（风洞） he built. The data（数据） was good.
He set up a team of young engineers like himself. And with the help of his teacher, they finished their final version（最终版）.
A. It would help make the bus move easily.
B. This design provides the same benefits but costs less.
C. This drove him to look for a way to use what he had learned.
D. But Tim needed to find enough money to build a model and test it.
E. He knew it was time to create a real one to be put to the test on a real bus.

1He found that his school bus had a very square front. It meant it used petrol（汽油） in a low efficiency. He decided to improve the bus.
After thinking about it for a while, Tim came up with the idea of putting a large piece of strong plastic on the front of the bus, covering the windscreen（挡风玻璃）.
A
2 In this way, the bus would become more energy efficient.His science teacher loved the idea and encouraged him.
D
3 Helped by his older sister Alice, he got help from an organization that helps young people develop new ideas.Over the next year, Tim used the money to build a small model of his invention. He did tests on it by putting it on a toy school bus and seeing how it performed in a little wind tunnel（风洞） he built. The data（数据） was good.

4He set up a team of young engineers like himself. And with the help of his teacher, they finished their final version（最终版）.
B
5 In tests done on real roads, it has helped increase the efficiency of school bus fuel use by 10%-20%.A. It would help make the bus move easily.

解析
【分析】本题为英语语篇补全题，需结合上下文语境、逻辑关系（如承接、因果等）匹配选项。解题思路：先通读全文把握Tim发明节能校车的整体脉络，再逐个分析空格前后内容，找到衔接最紧密的选项：空格1承接“参加空气动力学课程”的影响；空格2解释“车头加塑料”设计的作用；空格3对应“推进发明需要资金”的需求；空格4承接“模型测试良好”的下一步；空格5总结“最终设计”的优势。
【解析】1. 空格1前提到Tim参加了空气动力学暑期课程，C选项“这促使他寻找方法运用所学知识”承接课程带来的影响，符合逻辑，故选C。2. 空格2前说Tim提出在车头加大塑料覆盖挡风玻璃的想法，空格后说明这样能让校车更节能，A选项“它会帮助校车轻松移动”解释了该设计的作用，衔接上下文，故选A。3. 空格3前老师鼓励他，空格后提到他需要寻求组织帮助，D选项“但Tim需要找足够的钱来制作模型并测试”符合推进发明需要资金的语境，故选D。4. 空格4前说明模型测试数据良好，E选项“他知道是时候制作真实的版本在真实校车上测试了”承接测试结果，推进到下一步，故选E。5. 空格5前说完成最终版，空格后说明测试效果，B选项“这个设计提供同样的好处但成本更低”总结该设计的优势，符合语境，故选B。
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.D 4.E 5.B
【知识点】英语语篇补全、语境逻辑推理
【点评】本题考查学生对英语语篇上下文衔接的理解能力，需梳理故事发展脉络，结合逻辑关系匹配选项，是初中英语常见题型，难度适中。
