18、rimary School, in Barry, an industrial town in Wales. It runs a summer programme for hard-up（拮据的）children, providing meals and activities over the holidays with the aim of helping kids to spend the time more meaningfully. As young people run laughing and screaming into the school cafeteria for break

20、l summer holidays conjure up（使呈现于脑际）a picture of carefree youthful exploration. But many parents rely on the term-time services that schools give their kids, such as tutors and meals. If the holidays approach, they can suddenly find their schedules and budgets stretched. Researchers also say that th

Poorer families, apparently, find this harder, since their income is relativ

28、nmental support.CIn the 1997 movie Contact, a scientist, played by actress Jodie Foster, detects a radio signalthe firstcommunication from an extraterrestrial（夕卜星的）civilization. That story, composed by Carl Sagan, is a fiction. But the search for such a signal is not a crazy story. Real scientists l
29、ook to the sky, using powerful radio telescopes, hoping to hear even a whisper of a radio signal from one of our neighbor planets.Indeed, a recent report of a transmission originating from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own, was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian in December.
30、The source of the story is not a scientific paper, but instead it seems to have been leaked by an unknown source. The claim of a signal, if it turns out to be truly a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, would be one of the most important discoveries of all times.In April and May of 2019, the 64-m
31、eter-wide Parkes radio telescope, located in Australia, was recording radio transmissions from the direction of nearby star Proxima Centauri. Over the course of hours, the telescope documented data from the star every half an hour, before staying away to look at a different direction. This procedure
32、, callednodding was used to make sure that any observed signal is coming from a particular direction, rather than just random radio noise.This signal was not immediately noticed; it was over a year after the data was recorded that Shane Smith, an assistant with Breakthrough Listen, found it buried i
33、n the telescoped recordings. This was in late October 2020. So, what exactly was seen? It was a radio signal at a single frequency, specifically 980.002 MHz. It was observed to have originated in a small patch of the sky, about half the diameter（直径）of the full moon, centred on Proxima Centauri.First
34、 and foremost, it is important to note that astronomers think it is highly unlikely that the signal is caused by space aliens trying to communicate with us. However, astronomers mentioning the significance of the signal cannot be ignored.28. Why is the movie Contact mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To sh
35、ow the close connection between fiction and signals.B. To introduce the topic of a radio signal from a near planet.C. To stress the importance of the extraterrestrial civilization.D. To persuade people to pay more attention to radio signals.29. How did the radio telescope collect data?A. By recordin
36、g the data every 30 minutes.B. By staying away at a different direction.C. By analyzing the direction of the signals. D. By focusing on some random radio noise. 30. What do we know about the radio signal found by Shane Smith?A. It was sent by some space aliens.B. It lay in the centre of Proxima Cent
37、auri.D. It was noticed as soon as it was observed.D. It changed rapidly with the passing of time.31. What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?A. How aliens think about the radio signal.B. The potential results of the radio signal.C. The importance of finding the radio signal.D.
38、 How other countries react to the radio signal.DA wise driver keeps an eye on the fuel indicator（指示器），to make timely stops at filling stations. For drivers of electric cars, though, those stations are scarce. The facility needed for refilling batteries has yet to be developed, and the technology tha
39、t facility will use is still not available at the moment. Most electric cars are equipped with plugs. But plugs and their connected cables and charging points bring problems. The cables are easy to trip passers-by. The charging points lead to more street jams. And the copper wire involved, attractst
40、hieves easily. Many engineers would, therefore, like to develop a second way of charging electric carsonethat is wireless and can thus be buried underground.Electromagnetic induction（电磁感 应），the fundamental principle behind wireless charging, was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831, and is widely u
41、sed in things such as electric motors and generators. Faraday observed that moving a conductor through a magnetic field generated a current in that conductor. Further investigations showed that this also works if the conductor is fixed and the magnetic field is moving. Since electric currents genera
42、te magnetic fields, and if the current changes so does the field, a changing current creates a field that is constantly moving. This means that running such a current through a conductor will generate a similar current in another, nearby, conductor. That generated current can then be used for whatev
43、er purpose an engineer chooses.In the case of electric car charging, the first conductor is a length of copper wire. This is rolled up around a piece of ferrite（铁氧体）that strengthens the magnetic field generated. The whole device is packed in a flat case that can be easily buried underground. When a
44、car equipped with a suitablepickup stops or parks above this device, and changing current is fed into it, a similar current is generated in the pickup. This is then turned into direct current, and is used to charge the cars battery. The principle is thus pretty simple. But only in recent years has i
45、t become practical to use in electric cars.32. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A. The charging facility is in urgent need currently.B. The wise drivers must observe the fuel indicator.C. The disadvantages are various for vehicles to charge.D. The importance of wireless charging cannot be ign
46、ored. 33. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. No current will be generated without magnetic field fixed.B. Electric induction is of great importance to wireless charging.C. A changing current hardly creates a constantly moving field.D. Wireless charging was put into use in all cars in recent years.
47、 34. How does the device charge a car?A. The current generated in the pickup charges the car.B. The underground ferrite gives direct electricity to the car.C. The rolled conductor produces electricity to charge the car.D. The whole device conveys direct electricity through the wire. 35. What is the
48、best title of the passage?A. The Principle of Wireless CarsB. The Present Use of Wireless ChargingC. The Wireless Charging Is ApproachingD. The Generation of Current in Electronic Cars第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分125分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you feel bitter about others personal integrity around? 36 But fortunately, there are some ways to tell if someone is lying to you.They Touch or Cover Their MouthIf the person youre talking to put their hand over their mouth, its a good signal indic
