George C. Hale served as the Chief of the Kansas City Fire Department for 31 years. At the end of the
19th century, he enhanced firefighting with his 60 patented inventions, including the Hale Water Tower
and the telephone fire alarm, and helped bring America's fire departments into the modern era.
In Kansas' early history, fires were common with most homes built of wood and heated with coal.
Every second mattered for the crews tasked with putting them out. Hale was a mechanical genius, solving
the problems firefighters faced in his era.
Teams of trained horses were used to transport equipment to and from fires from 1860 to
1927.Harnessing(上挽具)the horses was a time-consuming business until Hale invented the swinging
horse harness. The harness was suspended from the ceiling of the fire station. When the alarm sounded,
the horses moved into place and the harness broke open and dropped into position, making them spring
into action with lightning speed.
Hale drilled his team to make certain every moment counted. Demonstrations of their record-speed
harness were so successful that major cities demanded to see the Kansas City firefighters in action. The
team was even invited to represent the United States as the “American Fire Team at the International
Fire Congress in London in 1893 for an audience with Queen Victoria.
Passionate about seeking new approaches to upgrading firefighting, Hale made numerous inventions,
facilitating firefighters' work efficiency. He even hired a circus gymnast to teach firefighters physical fitness.
His novel ideas dramatically changed the whole fire service.
In the end, Hale was brought down by politics. In 1902, he was fired owing to his political conflict with
the authority, yet Hale didn't quit his commitment to firefighting. He actively advised departments around
the country and sold fire control facilities as far away as Russia.When he died in 1923, the Kansas City Journal
called him one of the greatest fire chiefs in the history of modern firefighting.
24.What is the best title for the text?
A.Honors of the Kansas City Fire Department
B.Development of Kansas' Firefighting Cause
C. George C. Hale: A Witness to the Fire Service
D.A Great Contributor to Firefighting: George C.Hale

For decades its been hoped that seawater could be desalinated(淡化)to resolve the problem
of drinking water shortage. Yet desalination plants still provide only around one percent of the world's
drinking water. The progress goes slowly as desalination plants are expensive to build and use
enormous quantities of energy to run. Energy accounts for one-third to more than half the cost of
producing desalinated water.
In Saudi Arabia, the world's largest producer of desalinated water, the process accounts for up
to a fifth of the nation's energy consumption. But all this may be changing. A 2020 study found that,
globally, the average cost of desalinated water could more than halve if solar power and battery
storage systems were used. Across the world, there are around 180 facilities currently under
construction, or in their design phase, mostly in the Middle East and North Africa. New sources of
renewable energy like solar power mean it's getting cheaper to power energy-hungry desalination
equipment in sunny and water-stressed areas.
Egypt and Morocco, for example, are building renewable-powered plants designed both to
provide drinking water and to water crops. In South Australia,a self-cooling greenhouse design that
uses wind to desalinate seawater for crops is part of a commercial project producing 15percent of
Australian-grown tomatoes. Scientists are also making major breakthroughs, such as new self-
cleaning membrane(膜状物)technology,which improve the desalination process.
One start-up, Core Power, is developing nuclear-powered offshore plants. Another, Oneka,is
employing wave power for desalination units. This wave of growth and innovation is set to continue.A
global desalination equipment market valued at 17 billion dollars in 2023 is expected to grow to 32
billion dollars by 2030.
高三英语试题第 5 页(共 12 页)
But serious challenges remain. Most facilities still use non-renewable fuels to power the plants,
and the pouring of processed seawater into the sea poses a threat to sealife. These problems will have
to be addressed as a thirsty world looks to the desalination industry to provide its fresh water.
28. What results in the slow progress of desalinatin?
A.High production costs. B. Environmental concerns.
C.Little demand for fresh water. D.Lack of official support.
29. What do the facts in paragraphs 3 and 4 imply concerning the desalination industry?
A. It promises a bright prospect. B. It'll end water shortage soon.
C. It's merely a temporary success. D. It faces huge investment risks.
30.In which of the following publications would this text be printed?
A.Motor Trend. B. Runner's World.
C.Psychology Today. D.The Economist.
31.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A.Why we depend on fresh water to live.
B.How to lessen negative effects of desalination.
C. What to do to store fresh water against droughts.
D.How desalination technologies boost water supply.

Awe experiences typically involve the perception of something incredibly vast or
powerful,something that challenges one's understanding of the world. These are often, but not
always,encounters with nature, such as looking over mountains from an airplane, or standing at the foot
of an enormous tree. New developmental research suggests the experience of awe is crucial for a child
to grow stronger.
Historically, awe has featured in psychological accounts of peak experiences. William James
spoke extensively about various spiritual moments that intensely moved him and shaped his viewpoint.
He felt strongly these peak experiences made for the deeper development of a person's inner world.
Contemporary researchers theorize that awe may have helped our ancestors survive throughout
history and continues to impart positive effects today. Previous studies have shown awe can be
instrumental to the formation of social groups and can set off helpful social behaviors among adults.
高三英语试题第 6 页(共 12 页)
But our research shows that perceptions of awe start much earlier in life. Four to nine-year-old
children perceive and respond to awe-inspiring experiences and differentiate them from everyday
experiences. When watching fantastic footage of sweeping natural scenes, the children perceived
themselves as smaller-a phenomenon known as the “small self”- in comparison with how they felt
after watching footage of everyday nature imagery. They further reported being filled with power,
believing they were capable of achieving great things. Additionally,they felt a sense of curiosity and a
desire to explore more, seeing themselves as adventurers on a journey of discovery.
In our busy lives, nevertheless, potential moments of awe often get overlooked. With the pressure
to achieve seeping(渗透) into childhood earlier and earlier, its easy to understand why you, as
a parent, might be more focused on getting your children to the next activity or competition. However,
as you become more receptive to sources of awe and knowledgeable about its importance during
development, you'll most likely see them obtain considerable advantages when giving awe experiences
greater priority.
32.Which aspect of awe experience does the new study highlight?
A.Its historical origin. B. Places of its occurrence.
C. Its benefits for kids. D.Its impacts on adults' behavior.
33. What does the underlined word impart mean in paragraph 3?
A.Restrict. B.Withdraw. C.Generate. D.Transform.
34.How did the children feel when viewing footage of breathtaking scenery?
A.Contented. B.Motivated. C.Panicked. D.Confused.
35.What's the purpose of the author in writing the last paragraph?
A. To appeal to parents for a change.
B. To advocate a care-free childhood life.
C. To state his point on the fast-paced society.
D. To describe a common cultural phenomenon.

36 Every now and then we discover a ceiling-breaking moment, whereas in other
moments we may feel like hitting rock bottom. While some experiences can,be tough,we
can turn them into powerful learning and growing opportunities.
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks. 37 Each time we weather
difficulties, we build up resilience and recognize our own inner strength and determination
to overcome challenges, making us better equipped mentally for whatever happens in the
future.
When we've gone through difficulties, it's essential to take a step back and ask ourselves
tough questions. What led to this situation? How can we grow from it? 38 As long as we
gain learning, meaning and understanding from it, even the worst things that strike us can
become gifts and sources of strength and wisdom over time. Meanwhile, we may discover
our own prejudices, blindspots, or areas needing improvement. 39
Smooth sailing never makes a skilled sailor. Difficult moments are opportunities to
develop and refine our problem-solving skills. They push us to think critically and seek
solutions to complex problems in ways we wouldn't otherwise. 40 The problem-solving
skills acquired at tough times make us more expert at tackling various challenges with
confidence and competence.
