This is shaping up to be a big year for US theme parks—and we’re not just talking about Disney. From coast to coast, theme parks are opening exciting new rides for people.
Legoland New York Resort
Over Memorial Day weekend, Legoland opened its newest attraction: a Lego-themed water playground where families can play water, slide and beat the heat. There is also a nearby changing area so you can take off your wet swimsuit when you’re ready to head for the park’s land-based attractions.
Universal Studios Hollywood

Throughout the land, there are interactive challenges where you can collect digital coins and try to secure a top score. You will also find all the souvenirs and clothing you need to complete your experience.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
The Serengeti Flyer swing ride is currently the world’s tallest and fastest ride of its kind. You’ll rise rapidly above zebras, giraffes and other animals that reside in the park’s 65-acre Serengeti Plain. Because of its extreme nature, the ride has a 48-inch（英寸）minimum（最小的）height requirement.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s newest coaster（过山车）will have guests racing through the dark while attempting to escape a castle. DarKoaster is a fully indoor coaster with ride vehicles designed to look like snowmobiles. You’ll need them to travel through the strange snowstorm inside the castle.

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Moungi G. Bawendi of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Louis E. Brus of Columbia University, and Alexei I. Ekimov of Nanocrystals Technology Inc. in New York for the discovery and development of quantum dots（量子点）.
The three scientists each contributed to a fundamental discovery, according to officials from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards several of the prizes each year. The work they’ve done has already led to new technology in television screens and bio-imaging.
Reached by phone during a press conference early Wednesday morning, Bawendi offered a stream of reactions: “Shocked. Sleepy. Very unexpected. And very honored.”
In a rare event, the winners’ names were leaked to the Swedish media before the official announcement. But Bawendi said he’d been sound asleep, so he didn’t hear anything about it.
Quantum dots are particles（粒子）that are so incredibly small that their size actually starts to affect their properties. For example, blue quantum dots and red quantum dots can be made from the exact same material, with the only difference being the size of the particle itself. （The blue quantum dots are smaller than red ones.）
In fact, changing the size can alter（改变）many different properties beyond just color, which means that quantum dots could be useful for a variety of applications, including building better solar panels and perhaps even creating fuel by using sunlight.
The three scientists will share the prize money of 11 million Swedish kronor（close to$995,000）in equal parts. This is the third science-focused Nobel Prize to be awarded this week. On Tuesday, the physics prize was awarded to Anne L’ Huillier, Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz. And on Monday, Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman won the prize in physiology or medicine.
Officials plan to announce the literature prize on Thursday, followed by the peace prize on Friday. The economics prize will be awarded on Monday.
24. How did Bawendi feel when receiving the call early Wednesday morning
A. Angry. B. Surprised. C. Bored. D. Sorry.
25. What causes the difference in color between blue quantum dots and red ones
A. The size of the particles. B. The difference in materials.
C. The change in shapes. D. The variety of applications.
26. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 7 refer to
A. The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics. B. The 2023 Nobel Prize in medicine.
C. The 2023 Nobel Prize in literature. D. The 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
27. What is the text
A. A short story. B. A diary entry. C. A news report. D. A research article.
C
A powerful earthquake hit Morocco on Friday night, killing over 2,500 people and causing huge damage over a large area. The quake was one of the most powerful ever recorded in Morocco. It’s also the country’s deadliest earthquake in over 60 years. So far, the earthquake is reported to have killed over 2,680 people. It has injured over 2,500 others. The earthquake was especially dangerous because it happened at night, when people were asleep in their homes.
Marrakesh is a big city that’s popular with tourists. Many of its modern buildings seem to have survived the earthquake, But the old part of the city, Medina, was hit hard. It has buildings that are over 1,000 years old. Many of those buildings were demolished.
Outside of Marrakesh, the earthquake caused even more damage. In the Atlas Mountains, the earthquake’s center, there are many small villages, some of which were nearly destroyed.
Many of the people in the area live in simple houses made of mud bricks, which is a traditional way of building in Morocco. But it’s not strong enough to protect against earthquakes. Although the Moroccan government has laws that require buildings to be built more safely, these rules are often ignored.
Rescue workers have been working hard to save those affected by the quake. In larger cities, rescue efforts seem to be going well. But it has taken a lot longer for help to reach remote areas in the mountains. Many of these villages are difficult to get to. The earthquake caused landslides, blocking roads, and making these places even more difficult to reach. In some areas, phone and electrical service were also knocked out, leaving these places completely cut off. That means that the local people in some remote areas have had to deal with the situation on their own. In some areas, people have been digging through the broken stones or bricks with their hands, trying to find survivors. Many people are sleeping outside, unsure if their houses are safe.
Many outside countries have offered to help Morocco. Some countries have offered teams of experts; others have offered supplies.
28. What do we know about the earthquake in Morocco
A. It only killed 2,680 people. B. It occurred during the day.
C. It was the deadliest in recent decades, D. It injured less than 2,500 people.
29. What does the underlined word “demolished” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Destroyed. B. Decorated. C. Protected. D. Constructed.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Necessary help from other countries for the quake-hit area.
B. The current serious situation faced by people in disaster areas.
C. Possible causes of the earthquake happening in Morocco.
D. Reasons why the earthquake caused so much damage in Morocco.
31. What can be learned from paragraph 5
A. Rescue workers in big cities are in short supply.
B. Villagers in the quake-hit area try to save themselves.
C. Most of the houses in remote areas are reported safe.
D. Rescue workers can easily get in touch with mountain people.

The same area where the Wright brothers developed the first airplane will soon see electric planes that take off and land vertically（垂直地）. The planes, called“flying taxis” will be produced under an agreement between the state of Ohio and Joby Aviation at Dayton International Airport.
Joby Aviation is a 14-year-old company that went public in 2021 and became the first electric vertical takeoff and landing（eVTOL）firm to receive a special kind of permission from the US Air Force. Its production efforts are supported by partnerships with Toyota, Delta Air Lines, Intel and Uber.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine told The Associated Press, “When you’re talking about air taxis, that’s the future.”
Developers say the planes are nearing the day when they will provide a way to move individual people or small groups from the top of buildings and parking spaces to their destinations.
Around the world, eVTOL. aircrafts or flying taxis are becoming more common. Still, questions remain about noise levels and charging demands.
Engineers designed Joby’s production aircraft to transport a pilot and four passengers at the speed of up to 321.87 kilometers per hour. The aircraft ran cover a distance of up to 160. 93 kilometers. It is a quiet machine that can barely be heard in most cities, the company said. The plan is to place them in aerial ride sharing networks beginning in 2025.
The $500 million project is supported by up to $325 million in payments from the state of Ohio. With the money, Joby plans to build an Ohio facility capable of delivering up to 500 aircrafts a year and creating 2,000 jobs. The US Department of Energy has invited Joby to apply for a loan to support the development of the facility as a clean energy project.
cBen Bevirt told the AP that the company chose Ohio after a large and competitive search. Ohio’s financial deal was not the largest, but the chance to bring the operation to the birthplace of aviation—with a workforce experienced in the field—led to the deal, he said.
32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. Summarize the previous paragraph. B. Provide some advice for the readers.
C. Add some background information. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
33. What is Mike DeWine’s attitude toward air taxis
A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
34. What is an advantage of Joby Aviation’s flying taxi
A. It hardly makes any noise. B. It doesn’t need to be charged.
C. It carries at most 6 passengers. D. It covers a distance of 321.87km.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Life of the Wright Brothers B. Flying Taxis to be Made in Ohio
C. A Competitive Future for Aircrafts D. The Development of Joby Aviation

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。
A couple worked hard to provide for their family well, but their wealth came at the expense of their time. They hired a woman called May to help raise their three children. Their first son, Matt, was now 18, and they had two other children who were 8 and 5 years old. When they had Matt, they weren’t financially wealthy. However, by the time Matt turned 9, it slowly improved.
When Matt was 11, they decided to send him to a private school since they could afford it. Changing the school environment brought about a sudden personality change for Matt, and his parents believed it was because putting him in a class of wealthy teenagers made him feel superior（有优越感的）.
Through the years, the concerned parents tried to change this side of Matt. When he was16, the parents made him take a part-time job to start taking financial responsibility seriously. At first, the parents thought it worked. However, after some time, the boy’s parents realized he hadn’t changed.
One day, the couple planned to go on vacation. Instead of leaving May at home, they decided to take her with them and bought her a first-class ticket. While they were planning the vacation, Matt overheard them talking. He felt his parents’ paying for May’s first-class seat was unnecessary because their family had already paid for her.
The mom was shocked. She said it was mean for him to say that, especially after everything May did for them. She added how grateful she was for May’s help, as she gave up time for her own child to raise hers—Matt included. Still, Matt continued to argue his point. The mom grew tired of his selfishness and said he’d be the one in an economy seat and had to pay for an upgrade to first class if he wanted one. The boy nodded, thinking it was a joke.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of the trip, Matt realized his mom was telling the truth. _____________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Still feeling ashamed after the trip, the young man knew he had to change. _______________________________

Matt was speechless and had to accept the decision. But to Matt’s surprise. May asked the flight attendant to switch her and Matt’s seats before the plane took off. Matt got to sit in first class as he wished. but he was ashamed.
