However, photos taken by astrophotographers（天文摄影师）give people opportunities to still admire the stars. Being a full-time astrophotographer, Zhang Jingyi, 27, grew up being an astronomy enthusiast（爱好者）. When asked why she chose this career, Zhang said, “We all dream of what it is like to live on planets so far from us. Isn’t it cool?” Due to the fast development of China’s space industry, Zhang started to shoot rocket launching moments in recent years. “I basically followed the construction of the Tiangong space station with my camera,” she said, adding that every launch has given her a strong sense of achievement. Zhang believes that her photos are artworks that money cannot buy. “Some photographers may sell their works—some photos even reach six digits（六位数）,” Zhang said. “For me, I would be satisfied if people simply like my work.” As an influencer on Sina Weibo with more than 2.5 million followers, Zhang also shares videos that she’s filmed, giving her audience a more authentic（真实的）impression of her work. Zhang said that an astrophotographer needs to be devoted to their career. For example, when taking photos of the stars, they have to film them on plateaus（高原）which are freezing at night. “These hardships are nothing if you truly love what you do,” Zhang said. Gaining experience is also important. “There isn’t a detailed guidebook for creating art,” Zhang said. “You have to learn from your own works. Gradually, you can add personal thoughts into the filming process and witness your work improving.”26. What inspired Zhang to become an astrophotographer?A. Her curiosity about space.B. A beautiful photo she saw on Weibo.C. Fewer chances for citizens to admire the stars.D. The development of China’s space industry.27. What did Zhang begin to shoot in recent years?A. People.B. Scenery.C. Wildlife.D. Rocket launching.28. What does Zhang value about her photos?A How much they can sell for.B. The media’s comments on them.C. The public’s recognition of them.D. The social effect they have.29. What does Zhang think is necessary for a successful astrophotographer?A. Expensive equipment.B. A detailed guidebook.C. Devotion and learning ability.D. A formal education in photography.（B）This is a true story about a boy who, the world might say, was a terrible underachiever. While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season.It’s not that his peers disliked this boy; it’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection.Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy.In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly.Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated.30. The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. failedB. learnedC. achievedD. misunderstood31. What can we infer about the boy in Paragraph 2?A. He was hated by his peers.B. He achieved great success in drawing in high school.C. His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios.D. He earned the praise from Walt Disney Studios.32. In the last two paragraphs, we are advised ________.A. to open up our eyesB. to believe we can make some differenceC. to learn more skills for developmentD. to ask for more appreciation and love33. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Nobody Is a Nobody.B. A Hard-working Boy Is Successful.C. We Should Turn Failure into Success.D. One Cannot Succeed without Talents.（C）What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A pen. Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools. Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheel, the introduction of the steam engine, the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of society. In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus（纸莎草纸）was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts. The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well. Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life. Let’s remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it enjoy it.34. What is the writer trying to do in this passage?A. Describe what a pen looks like.B. Introduce the history of the pen.C. Advise people to prepare a new pen.D. Show the importance of the pen.35. The word “mountains” in the third paragraph refers to “something to ________”.A. explain the use of electricityB. lower the students’ scoresC. stop social developmentD. change the law of the country36. The lawyers started to write the law of the country ________.A. before their thoughts were changedB. when papyrus was first usedC. as soon as they recorded their namesD. after they took an important exam37. The underlined word “utilitarian” in the passage probably means “________”.A. cheapB. boringC. specialD. useful（D）NEW POSTI can’t control my big mouth and I cannot keep secrets that my friends tell me. At school, I often talk loudly a lot in class. I have made myself look bad. I want to change this. What should I do?REPLIESIt’s OK. Some people just naturally love to talk. However, when your talking starts to make other people unhappy, it’s time to take a look at your habits. First of all, when you tell your friends’ secrets to others, this makes it hard for your friends to trust you.Good friends are trustworthy and never tell secrets to other people. Think about how you would feel if one of your friends revealed your secret. If you always remember this, you won’t give away any secrets.As for talking loudly in class, if you do it too much, your teacher will probably punish you. That should remind you to stop doing it so much.I had two best friends named Jim and Peter. They had a fight over a basketball match, so Jim came to me and complained about how Peter didn’t pass the ball to him. Days later, they got over it. But one day, when we were on our way home from school, I made a slip of the tongue and mentioned this to Peter. His smile disappeared and he walked away. Jim also was angry with me because he thought I betrayed (背叛) him.What’s worse, some other students also heard the gossip and started to ignore me. It was really painful. There was nothing I could do but sincerely apologize to them. I decided to keep a low profile (行事低调) and try not to give away any more secrets.Anyone can make a slip of the tongue. But we need to think carefully before we act. It can hurt people and cause us to lose friends.38. What is Steven’s problem?A. He is made fun of for his bad looks.B.

To make Steven accept his advice more easily.D To explain why he decided to keep a low profile.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入1~5空白处的最佳选项。A young player shines at the Australian OpenAt the recent 2023 Australian Open, 18-year-old Chinese player Shang Juncheng made headlines（头条新闻）. ___41___ This made him the first male player from the Chinese mainland（中国大陆）to win a main draw match at the Australian Open in the Open era（公开赛时代）. “It was the first Grand Slam event in which I have played as an adult, so that made it very special,” Shang told China Daily. ___42___ ___43___ “Tennis is a sport that doesn’t end with a tie,” he said. “Sometimes you can lose your temper.
