，使用的墨水由干细胞和生物材料组成，可以发育成体内的任何细胞。根据上下文时态和句意可知，这里陈述的是现实情况，应用一般现在时。且主语Thedevice为单数，所以谓语应用单数。故填uses。【19题详解】考查定语从句。句意：这些细胞将自己组织成一个发育中心脏类器官，它将与人工循环系统协同工作。分析句子结构，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代先行词adevelopingcardiacorganoid，指物，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。【20题详解】考查名词。句意：这项创新技术将有助于对心脏病的调查和一些潜在药物的试验。空处应用名词，和and后的trials一起作宾语。investigation意为“调查”，在这里为可数名词，且空前没有表示数量的限定词修饰，这里应用名词复数。故填investigations。第二部分阅读理解（共两节，38分）第一节（共11小题；每小题2分，共22分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ADearTeachersandParents,ThisJune,duringFinancialLiteracyMonth,wehavesometoshare.In2015,afreeonlinefinancialeducationcoursenamedFutureSmartwasintroducedtomiddleschoolstudents,specificallytargetingthisgroupatatimeintheirliveswhenfinancialhabitstakeholdandgrow.Fastforwardtotoday,FutureSmart,availableinEnglishandSpanish,hasreachedover13,000schoolsacrossall50states.Morethantwomillionstudentshavecompletedthecourse,withalmosthalfcomingfromlow-to-moderateincomefamilies.Butwearen’tstoppingthere.Wepromisetoreachfourmillionmorestudentsbytheendof2025.Why?Becausethismomentcallsforbraveaction.Neverbeforehavemoneymanagementandinvestmentdecisionsbeensoeasytoconductatanytimeorplacethroughtheuseofasmartphone.Itistimetoofferstudentsmorecriticalfinancialliteracyeducationtoencouragethemtomakegoodfinancialdecisionsonadailybasisastheymaketheirwaythroughacomplexworld.Fromweighingopportunitycoststodelayinginstantsatisfactionforlong-termfinancialgain,FutureSmarteducatesouryouthusinghands-onsimulations(模拟)tointroduceconceptslikedailyfinancialdecisionsandtherewardsoflong-termplanning.Teachingyounglearnershowtobuildsolidfinancialfoundationsisanimportantstepinbuildingfinanciallyhealthycommunities.Althoughourworkisfarfromcomplete,weknowthatFutureSmartworks.Anditworksexceptionallywell.Inthelargeststudyofitskind,supportedbytheMassMutualFoundationandEVERFI,theUniversityofMassachusettsDonahueInstitute(UMDI)recentlyconcludedthat90%ofstudentssawastatisticallysignificantandeducationallymeaningfulincreaseinknowledgeaftertakingtheFutureSmartcourse.What’smore,theseresultswereconsistentacrossallstudentdemographicsincludingrace,age,gender,schoolyear,andsocioeconomicstatus.Wehavealongwaytogotoreacheverysinglemiddleschoolstudent,butwewelcomethechallenge.Together,ourteamshavestartedamovementtoprovideequalaccesstofinancialeducation,andweinviteotherstojoinus.Visitgetfuturesmart.comtolearnmoreandseehowyoucanbringFutureSmarttotheyoungpeopleinyourlife.MICHAELFANNINGRAYMARTINEZHeadofMassMutualUSPresidentandCo-FounderofEVERFI21.ThecourseFutureSmart.A.isofferedintwodifferentlanguagesB.requiresskillfulsmartphoneoperationC.hasbeenboughtbyalargenumberofschoolsD.targetsstudentsfromlow-to-moderateincomefamilies22.HowdoesFutureSmartintroducefinancialconcepts?A.Byestablishingfinanciallyhealthycommunities.B.Bymanagingopportunitiesandrewards.C.Bysimulatingreal-lifesituations.D.Bydelayingfinancialgain.23.Aftertakingthecourse,thestudentsshouldbeableto.A.improvetheiracademicperformanceB.acceptfinancialchallengesatanytimeC.understandpeoplefromvariousbackgroundsD.buildastablefinancialfoundationforthefuture【答案】21.A22.C23.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。一门名为FutureSmart的免费在线金融教育课程被介绍给了中学生，该课程专门针对这一群体，旨在教年轻人如何建立坚实的财务基础。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Fastforwardtotoday,FutureSmart,availableinEnglishandSpanish,hasreachedover13,000schoolsacrossall50states.(快进到今天，FutureSmart有英语和西班牙语版本，已经覆盖了美国50个州的13000多所学校。)”可知，FutureSmart课程以两种不同的语言提供。故选A。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段首句“Fromweighingopportunitycoststodelayinginstantsatisfactionforlong-termfinancialgain,FutureSmarteducatesouryouthusinghands-onsimulations(模拟)tointroduceconceptslikedailyfinancialdecisionsandtherewardsoflong-termplanning.(从权衡机会成本到为了长期财务收益而推迟即时满足，FutureSmart通过实际模拟教育我们的年轻人，介绍日常财务决策和长期规划奖励等概念。)”可知，FutureSmart通过模拟现实情况引入金融概念。故选C。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据第六段末句“Teachingyounglearnershowtobuildsolidfinancialfoundationsisanimportantstepinbuildingfinanciallyhealthycommunities.(教年轻人如何建立坚实的财务基础是建立财务健康社区的重要一步。)”以及第七段“Althoughourworkisfarfromcomplete,weknowthatFutureSmartworks.Anditworksexceptionallywell.(虽然我们的工作还远未完成，但我们知道FutureSmart是可行的。而且效果非常好。)”可知，FutureSmart课程是为了教年轻人如何建立坚实的财务基础，且效果非常好。所以，学习完课程后，学生应该能够为未来建立一个稳定的财务基础。故选D。BAfewdaysago,myhusband,Russ,andIlostourhouseof28yearstoaCaliforniawildfire.Onthatnight,wehadtoleaveourhouseandsleepinthebackseatofourFord.Thenextmorning,wehadtodrivethreeandahalfhourstofindahotelthathadanavailableroom.Onlylater,inthelocalnewspaper,didweseephotographsofthedestruction.Ourhousehadbeenconsumedbythefirealongwithmostofourneighborhood.Howarewegoingtorebuildafterthis?Ithought,roundingacornerinthesidewalkonmywalkbacktothehotel.Isitevenpossible?Inoticedsomethingupahead—apairofnickels,shininglikepreciousjewels.Theywerejustnickels,buttheysomehowfeltspecial.Ibentdownandpickedthemup.Ifthesewereluckycoins,IcouldusealltheluckIcouldget.Afewdayslater,Imadeatriptothestoretobuyessentials.Theenormoustaskofreplacingeverythingwe’dlostputaheavyweightonme.IwasabouttoleavewhenIfelttheurgetostopandturnmyheadtotheright.Icouldhardlybelieveit—thereonashelf,wasanickel!Okay,maybethisismorethanluck,Ithoughtandputthenickelinmypoc

”可以判断Frost是支持适应气候变化的，根据第4段“TheUKauthorityfindsthedebateaboutadaptationdifficult.Partly,itisbecausesomeactivistsclaimthatadaptationisnotfeasible.Theysaythatclimatechangewillendhumancivilization,potentiallyleadingtotheentireextinctionofthehumanrace.(英国当局发现，有关适应气候变化的辩论很困难。部分原因是一些活动人士声称适应气候变化是不可行的。他们说，气候变化将终结人类文明，有可能导致整个人类灭绝。)”可知英国当局对关于适应论的争论犯了难，即不知道该支持哪边，对是否去适应气候变化存疑。故选A。【32题详解】词义猜测题。根据第五段破折号后的“includingincreasedfrequencyofstorms,floodingandoth
