My family was poor for a long time. my mum and dad came from very poor families. When
I was five, I showed an interest in machines. Before long, I was trying to take an old computer in
my kindergarten classroom. By Grade 3, I was learning to program using the BASIC language.
Then, one day in high school, my computer science teacher suggested I go to a camp. He
gave me a poster and I excitedly took it home. But my excitement went away quickly my mum
and I saw the price of the camp: several hundred dollars! We had no choice but to give it up.
But a few weeks later, the head of the computer camp called me, telling that I could go to the
camp. I couldn't believe my . At that camp, I really learnt a lot.
Then, two years later, I received another call from the camp director. "I've found I think
you'll want to see," he said. When we met, he gave me a handwritten letter from my mum.
She wrote that I was the kid she had ever known. She talked a lot about my early love for
machines and computers. She ended by saying she didn't have enough money and hoped in her heart
that they would still accept me. I broke down right then and there.
In 2014, I finally got a job where I could use all my skills. Now, I'm to say that I've broken
my family's cycle of living poorly. And all I want to do now is to thank my mum for everything she has
done for me. Without her, I would have the bright life I have today.

【语篇导读】本文讲述了作者出身贫寒,但对机
器与编程满怀热忱。一次因费用高昂作者几乎错过计算机夏令营。作者的妈妈暗中写信向负责人求助,作者最终获得了学习良机且获益匪浅。多年后,作者读到妈妈的信,对妈妈的付出深怀感恩。
1. A 提示:both意为"(两者)都";neither意为"(否定句中)两者之一不";either意为"(两者之中)任意一个";all意为"(三者及以上)都"。句意:我的爸爸妈妈都来自非常贫穷的家庭。both...and...意为"……和……两者都"。neither通常与nor搭配;either常与or搭配。

二、阅读理解
A
With the rapid development of technology, China's aerospace industry has
achieved remarkable achievements that have gained worldwide attention. The Shenzhou-19 manned
spacecraft was launched on October 30th, 2024. Song Lingdong was one of the astronauts on
this mission.
Born into a farmer's family in Caoxian, Shandong Province, Song was recruited by the
People's Liberation Army Air Force in 2008 and was sent to learn flying.
In the first months at the Air Force's flight school, Song had bad scores on his tests because of
longtime malnutrition. He also went through a hard time flying in the training machine
because of air sickness.
Knowing clearly about his weaknesses, Song decided to deal with them through hard work and strict
training. He soon became the only student in his class who always appeared on the exercise field and
often asked the trainers to double the amount of his training. Thanks to his hard work, he received the
top score in his solo flight examination and was praised for his excellent performance.
Song Lingdong said that, when he was just 13, he watched a TV news report about China's first
spaceflight. In September 2020, he was chosen as one of the third group of astronauts and
began his training in Beijing. Later, Song found he was troubled by his character—being impatient. He
soon realized that what a successful astronaut really needed was calmness and team spirit. He learned to
slow down and even started going fishing to improve his patience.
Now, with the launch of Shenzhou-19, his dream has come true.
() 1. What's the purpose of writing Paragraph 1?

A. That made him want to fly into space.
B. He wanted to be a successful astronaut.
C. That made him very interested in learning.
D. He thought the news report was very true.
() 4. Which of the following can best describe Song's experience?
A. 长风破浪会有时,直挂云帆济沧海。 B. 黑发不知勤学早,白首方悔读书迟。

【语篇导读】本文主要讲述了农村少年宋令东参军入伍,克服重重困难,最终实现成为中国航天员的梦想的成长经历。
1. C 提示:推理判断题。第一段提到随着科技的飞速发展,中国航空航天业取得了举世瞩目的成就。2024年10月30日,神舟十九号载人飞船发射升空,宋令东是执行此次飞行任务的航天员之一,随后下文围绕宋令东的家庭背景、经历等展开介绍,由此推知,第一段的写作目的在于介绍背景信息,引出宋令东这位航天员。
2. B 提示:词义猜测题。第三段提到宋令东因为长期营养不良在空军飞行学校初期测试成绩不好,还因晕机在训练项目上经历困难,画线词后半句提到他决定通过努力和严格的训练克服这些问题,由此推知画线词weaknesses意为"弱点,不足之处"。
3. A 提示:推理判断题。空前一句提到他13岁时观看了关于中国首次太空飞行的电视新闻报道,下文提到他成了航天员,由此推知空处谈的是他观看的电视报道对他成为航天员的影响。A项"这让他想飞入太空"符合语境。
4. A 提示:推理判断题。"长风破浪会有时,直挂云帆济沧海"强调克服困难,实现理想,与宋令东经历困难最终实现梦想的过程吻合。"黑发不知勤学早,白首方悔读书迟"强调要趁年轻勤奋学习;"读书不觉已春深,一寸光阴一寸金"强调要珍惜时间读书;"江东子弟多才俊,卷土重来未可知"强调只要根基在,就有东山再起的可能。
