2．I enjoy throwing stuff away.I'd love to go full minimalism （極簡主義），but my wife and two teenage kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it.I have tried.When the kids were little，I taught them my two favorite games- "Do We Need It？" and "Put It in Its Place"– and made them play every few months.Their enthusiasm never matched mine.
If I'm going to be honest，my own tidying skills are not as great as I'd like.My "discarded" pile is never quite the trash mountain I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful.I consider this unhealthy.I want to be better at moving on.
So，this time I found help - the classics for people like me：The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up，by Marie Kondo.Kondo's commitment to her craft is astonishing.Her philosophy is only to keep things you love.Can I go full Kondo？I will try.One central idea is to clean by category.You start by collecting all clothes and gathering them together for consideration.It makes you rethink how you organize.Next，hold each item and ask if it brings you joy.This way you're choosing what to keep.And that's how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor.My wife walks by and gives me a look that says I'm nuts.She's probably not wrong.
Somewhere near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket.I move through the pile：pants，shirts，suits and shoes.Then my last category：jackets.I haven't worn the thing in about 30 years.Somehow，it has survived.Now that I'm striving to follow Kondo-surely，its time has come？
I hold it in my hand.There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold jye.ai.It's literally falling apart.Will I ever wear it again？Not a chance.Does it feel good to wear？Does it bring me joy？Actually，yes.At this moment，my daughter walks in.She asks about the jacket.I tell her the story.She thinks I should keep jye.ai.It's cool and unique and full of memories.She is arguing that nostalgia （懷念） is the very reason.
I'm not entirely convinced by my daughter's arguments.I believe in looking ahead，not backward.Nevertheless，sometimes it's hard to let go.So I gently place the jacket on the "keep" pile.

3．The world's biggest electric vehicle - a 45-ton mining dump truck named the eDumper - may have to give up its throne.The newcomer，powered with both electricity and a reserve of hydrogen fuel，is going to steal that title as the largest electric mining truck.
London-based Anglo American is developing the beast of a machine - it weighs 290 tons -as part of its sustainable mining vision.The conceptual work is done，but U.K-based Williams Advanced Engineering will bring the truck to life.The idea is to replace the vehicle's diesel engine （柴油機(jī)） with a high-power modular lithium-ion battery （鋰電池）."We are delighted to be involved in this innovative and exciting project which shows the potential of battery technology that can adapt to increased demands，from automotive and motorsport to 'heavy duty' industrial applications，" Craig Wilson，managing director of Williams Advanced Engineering，said.
While the eDumper -a mining truck used to move stones from the sides of mountains in Switzerland- relies entirely on pure electricity and pure physics for power，the Anglo American truck will use both a lithium-ion battery and a hydrogen fuel cell （電池） module.Altogether，the new truck will have over 1，000 Kilowatt hours of energy storage.
Hydrogen fuel is a clear fuel that produces only water as a by-product when consumed in a fuel cell.It's typically produced from natural gas，nuclear power，or renewable wind and solar power.Adding hydrogen fuel cells to the vehicle's battery will allow the truck to run for longer periods of time without recharging.
There's also a third type of power that comes into play with the Anglo American truck：kinetic （動力的） energy created through the process of regenerative braking （再生制動系統(tǒng)）.When an electric vehicle- be it the Anglo American truck，or the eDumper -rolls down a hill，that movement creates electrical energy for the battery as you brake.The electric motors power the car through the battery's stored energy，but can also become mini generators that return some energy back to the battery.
After Anglo American finishes test trials with the truck，the firm will conduct studies to understand how the truck's power units can be used to provide energy storage in other applications.
（1）What can be known about "the eDumper"？
A．It weighs more than 290 tons.
B．It is powered by hydrogen fuel.
C．It will no longer be the largest electric truck.
D．It will discourage buyers for being expensive.
（2）What can be inferred from Craig Wilson's words？
A．Battery technology is the key to updating vehicles.
B．Battery technology is the basis of manufacturing trucks.
C．The development of the lithium-ion battery is limited.
D．The future of the lithium-ion battery is promising.
（3）What is the benefit of adopting hydrogen fuel cells？
A．It can save a lot of money.
B．Vehicles become more eco-friendly.
C．It has no environmental impact at all.
D．Vehicles no longer need to be recharged.
（4）According to paragraph 5，which of the following can be a feature of regenerative braking？
A．Autonomous braking.
B．Energy transformation.
C．Simple operation.
D．zero-carbon emission.組卷：4引用：4難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。
Crash!The old black pickup truck in front of me stopped.I didn't.I crashed into its back breaking the fender （擋泥板） and bending the driver's door of my car.To make matters worse，it wasn't my car.It was my father's.I shouldn't have been driving it，and now I had destroyed it.
A farmer jumped out of the truck，slowly and carefully，and looked at the damage.I sat sobbing （抽噎），my lip bleeding where I'd bitten it.He was in a hurry to leave，but we managed to exchange names and phone numbers before he pulled out onto the highway again.I followed，knowing I dared not go home.I'd be in big trouble.
It was my high school graduation day.I drove to school and climbed out through the passenger door.Surveying the broken fender and the door，tears flowed down my face，which was rapidly becoming swollen.I walked into the gym and joined my classmates to prepare for the graduation party.Bad news traveled fast，and soon a teacher came to me
"You'll have to go home to get dressed for the graduation sooner or later，" she said."Sooner would be much better and you have to tell your parents."
I finally agreed and slowly drove home.The Death March sounded in my ears.
My mother took one look at my face when I got home and screamed， "What on earth happened？"
I hung my head and tears rolled down my face again."I crashed Daddy's car."
She threw up her hands in panic and rushed to the backyard where Dad was making burgers."Stop cooking，Ted.We're not going to eat.Jean has destroyed your car."
Dad looked at her and said quietly， "Is she hurt？"
"No，except for biting her lip."
"Well，then，what does that have to do with eating dinner？" He put a burger on a plate with the others，then walked across the yard and put his arm around me."Let's go inside and hear all about this if you're sure you're all right." I sobbed and nodded.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
The phone was ringing when we got to the back door.
