D.Cautious.【答案】32.D33.C34.C35.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家名为Pivotal的硅谷公司开发的电动垂直起降飞行器Helix，对其设计、特点、市场前景等方面进行了介绍。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Helixisasingle-seatvehicle,so“flyingmotorbike”mightbemoreaccurate.(Helix是一辆单座汽车，所以“会飞的摩托车”可能更准确。)”可知，Helix只适合一人驾驶。故选D。【33题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“thefirmthinksithassomethingmarketable.(公司认为它有了市场)”可推测，在改进之后，公司认为它有了市场。划线单词ameliorating指的是“提高、改进”之意。选项A“Testing(测试)”；选项B“Driving(驾驶)”；选项C“Improving(改善)”；选项D“Repairing(修理)”。故选C。【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Pilot’slicenseornot,buyerswillstillneedsometrainingtoflyaHelix.Pivotalinsistsonthis.Forthesamereason,thecraft’ssoftwarewillstopthepilotdoinganythingthatdoesnotfititssafetyrules.Andif,despitethis,somethingdoesgowrong,itisfittedwithaparachute（降落伞）.(无论是否有飞行员执照，买家仍然需要一些训练来驾驶螺旋。Pivotal坚持这一点。出于同样的原因，飞行器的软件会阻止飞行员做任何不符合安全规则的事情。尽管如此，如果出了什么问题，它还配备了降落伞。)”可知，文章第四段主要讲述的是Helix的安全措施。故选C。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“TheHelix’stopspeedisarespectable100kph,butitsrangeisonly30km.Andrefuelingitisabitofapain.Fillingupfromthemainstakesfourandahalfhours,thoughaspecialhigh-powersystemsimilartothoseemployedforelectriccarscanbringthatdownto75minutes.WhileHelixstilldoesn’tcomparetotheflyingcarfromtheJetsons,itcouldbeastepforward.(Helix的最高时速可达100公里，但续航里程只有30公里。加油是一件很痛苦的事。从主电源加满电需要四个半小时，不过一种类似于电动汽车的特殊大功率系统可以把这个时间缩短到75分钟。虽然Helix仍然无法与《杰森一家》中的飞行汽车相比，但它可能是向前迈出的一步。)”以及全文内容可知，作者在文章中客观地介绍了Helix的设计、特点、市场前景等方面，没有表达出明显的怀疑、冷漠或谨慎的态度。相反，作者通过提供技术细节和背景信息，帮助读者更好地理解和评估这款新型飞行器。因此，可以认为作者对于Helix的态度是客观的。故选B。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Whilesocializingcomesnaturallyforsome,itcanbeastruggleforothers.Shynessisanormal,commonpersonalitytrait(特征).____36____.Ifyou’reoftenhesitanttoengageinsocialsituations,youmayinteractwiththosearoundyouinamorecomfortableway.Weoutlinefourstrategiesforovercomingshynessinlife.GetExcitedAboutANewAdventureYoumayhavebeenshymostofyourlife.____37____.Workingthroughshynessanddevelopingincreasedconfidencemayseemlikeadiscouragingtaskforyou,butviewingthejourneyasanexcitingadventuretopartsunknowncanbeexcitingand,inturn,mayboostyourself-esteem.PayAttentionToYourWords____38____.Talkingtoyourselfinanegativewaywhendescribingyourselfcandamageyourself-confidence.Considerreplacingphraseslike“Iamshy”with“Iamlearningtobemorecomfortable”insocialsituations.Thiscangoalongwaytowardmovingfromshynesstoconfidence.PracticeMindfulness(正念)Mindfulnessinvolvesdrawingyourattentiontothepresentandbeingawareofyourthoughts,feelings,andsurroundings.____39____.Inonestudy,participantsinamindfulnessprogramexperiencedanimprovedviewoftheirself-worth.TakeSmallStepsGettingstartedcanbethehardestpartoflearninghowtobemoresocialforthosewhoareshy.____40____.Youcanstartoutsmall.Trychattingwiththetelleratthebankorthepersonaheadofyouinthecheckoutline.Thiscanhelpyoubuildconfidenceandworkyourwayuptomoredifficultchallenges.A.Ifso,that’sapartofyouthatyou’reusedtoB.SometimesthebestpathtowardaddressingafearisexposureC.MindfulnesscanhelpreducesymptomsofsocialanxietydisorderD.TakingtimetotendtoyourappearancecanmakeabigdifferenceE.HowwecommunicateandcharacterizeourselvescanbepowerfulF.However,shynesscanmakeithardforpeopletoconnectwithothersandachievetheirgoalsG.Butengagingwithpeopledoesn’thavetobepracticedasanimportantworkpresentation【答案】36.F37.A38.E39.C40.G【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了克服害羞的四个策略。【36题详解】上文“Shynessisanormal,commonpersonalitytrait(特征).(害羞是一种正常的、普遍的性格特征)”介绍害羞是一种正常的、普遍的性格特征，F项“However,shynesscanmakeithardforpeopletoconnectwithothersandachievetheirgoals(然而，害羞会使人们难以与他人交流，难以实现自己的目标)”承接上文，说明害羞可能带来的不良影响，与上文构成转折关系，进而引出下文“Weoutlinefourstrategiesforovercomingshynessinlife.(我们概述了克服生活中害羞的四种策略)”中克服害羞的策略，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。【37题详解】上文“Youmayhavebeenshymostofyourlife.(你可能一生中大部分时间都很害羞)”假设了一种情况：你可能一生中大部分时间都很害羞，A项“Ifso,that’sapartofyouthatyou’reusedto(如果是这样的话，那是你生活中已经习惯了的一部分)”再次强调害羞已经成为生活习惯，进而引出下文“viewingthejourneyasanexcitingadventuretopartsunknowncanbeexciting(把这段旅程看作是一场令人兴奋的冒险，去探索未知的地方，这是令人兴奋的)”中把克服害羞视为对习惯的挑战，视为一场冒险的表达，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。【38题详解】小标题“PayAttentionToYourWords(注意你的话语)”提出注意语言，E项“Howwecommunicateandcharacterizeourselvescanbepowerful(我们交流和描述自己的方式会很产生巨大影响)”说明了要注意话语的原因：我们交流和描述自己时选择的话语会产生巨大影响，下文“Talkingtoyourselfinanegativewaywhendescribingyourselfcandamageyourself-confidence.(在描述自己时用消极的方式会损害你的自信)”承接E项，对影响进行了具体地举例说明，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。【39题详解】根据小标题“PracticeMindfulness(正念)(修习正念)”和上文“Mindfulnessinvolvesdrawingyourattentiontothepresentandbeingawareofyourthoughts,feelings,andsurroundings.(正念包括把你的注意力集中到现在，意识到你的想法、感觉和周围的环境)”可知本段讲正念，C项“Mindfulnesscanhelpreducesymptomsofsocialanxietydisorder(正念可以帮助减轻社交焦虑障碍的症状)”承接上文，介绍正念的作用，上下文语意一致。故选C项。【40题详解】上文“Gettingstartedcanbethehardestpartoflearninghowtobemoresocialforthosewhoareshy.(对于那些害羞的人来说，如何开始可能是学习如何更合群的的最难的部分)”提出“开始”是最难的部分，G项“Butengagingwithpeopledoesn’thavetobepracticedasanimportantworkpresentation(但是，与人互动并不需要像重要的工作报告那样去练习)”承接上文，说明虽然很难，但也并不像练习工作报告那样正式，也没有那么难，进而引出下文的正确方法“Youcanstartoutsmall.(从小事做起，一步一步来)”。故选G项。第三部分语言运用（
