Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to books,” she said. “They became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”
In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad suffered from cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger comfort, and she started thinking about families in similar situations. When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to help others. “The idea came from the fact that there were kids who were facing the same problem,” she said.
Then, Emily started the book drive in her hometown, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Her father was not surprised by this plan. “She always wants to do things for the neighborhood,” he said. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.
Emily had no idea how much attention her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. “I was expecting maybe two or three neighbors to do it,” she said. “But it ended up blowing up,” especially when newspapers began reporting it.
The Children’s Inn is one of the places where Emily has donated books. “Donations like Emily’s share a piece of the world with kids and families that they may not experience,” said its director, Aisha Campbell. Emily continues to run the book drive with her parents’ help. She hopes to one day make it reach more kids. The memory of the first time she visited children who’d received her books sticks with her. “It was the best day of my life,” she said. “I realized I wanted to do this type of work forever.”
4. What made Emily come up with the book drive
A. Her father’s illness. B. Her care for others.
C. Her habit of reading. D. Her own shyness.
5. What did Emily’s For Love & Buttercup want to do
A. Help her father defeat cancer. B. Give her father a surprise.
C. Comfort other kids in need. D. Collect books for hospitals.
6. How did Emily feel about the book drive at first
A. Uncertain. B. Surprised. C. Proud. D. Disappointed.
7. What is Emily’s future plan
A. Getting more help from her parents. B. Starting another book drive very soon.
C. Making her program benefit more kids. D. Writing books about her experiences.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C

Have you ever imagined that scientists could make robots that will be able to feel and touch just like humans In the future robots might no longer be stiff (僵硬的), metal machines. They might be able to act and even look just like us!
The system used to help robots feel is called “haptics technology”. Haptics is a word which is used to describe the way we understand something through the use of touch. For example, now doctors can use robotic machines in operations. But this is a bit dangerous. Why Because the robot cannot feel anything. The doctor can only see what the robot is doing by watching on a screen.
However, US scientists have created a machine called Neo that a doctor wears on his or her head. Neo is connected to the robot doing the operation. When the robot touches something, Neo imitates the touch on the doctor’s head.
The invention of Neo is great news for doctors because now they can feel what the robot is feeling. But scientists have even bigger dreams. They are trying to make robots that can feel for themselves just like humans. They have created sensors that are just like the human fingertip. These sensors are at the end of the robots’ hands. Messages will be sent to the robots’ “brains”. And the robots will know how to hold something without breaking it.
If these scientists succeed, robots will feel just like a human and will be able to control themselves. Can we imagine humans will no longer be the masters (主人) of the world because robots are just as smart as we are in 500 years
8. The underlined word “imitates” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.
A. trains B. draws
C. copies D. remembers
9. The fourth paragraph mainly talks about________.
A. how Neo works B. robots that can feel for themselves like humans
C. what Neo can do D. how a message is sent to the robots’ brains
10. What can we learn about sensors from the passage
A. They can help robots write messages.
B. They can help robots write break things
C. They are at the end of the robots’ heads.
D. They can help send messages to robots.
11. The writer may think the future will be________ if the robots replace humans to be the masters of the world.
A. surprising B. bright
C. relaxing D. hopeful
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来的机器人通过“触觉技术”应用于医学领域的前景。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“Neo is connected to the robot doing the operation. When the robot touches something(Neo被连接到操作手术的机器人上。当机器人碰某个东西的时候)”以及下文“the touch on the doctor’s head(医生头上的触感)”可知，当机器人触碰某个东西时，Neo会模仿医生头上的触感。即划线词的意思是：模仿，故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“But scientists have even bigger dreams. They are trying to make robots that can feel for themselves just like humans.( 但是科学家们还有更大的梦想，他们想让机器人变得能够像人类一样有自己的感受)”，可知，第四段主要讲的是机器人能够像人类一样有自己的感受，故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“These sensors are at the end of the robots’ hands. Messages will be sent to the robots’ “brains”(这些传感器在机器人的指尖，通过它们能够把信息传递到机器人的大脑中) ”可知，传感器可以帮助机器人传送信息，故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Can we imagine humans will no longer be the masters (主人)of the world because robots are just as smart as we are in 500 years (你能想象500年后，机器人将变得跟人类一样聪明，人类不再是这个世界的主人吗？)”可知，对于机器人将替代人类成为世界的主人这个看法，作者表现出的是惊讶，故选A 项。
D
Life as an astronaut has various unique attractions. This can include experiencing weightlessness and looking back at Earth as a pale blue dot. Food is not among them. Space travelers over the years have become used to certain foods such as freeze-dried ice cream and liquid salt and pepper. Now, the menu is set to be augmented, with the first space-grown lettuce (生菜) found to be as safe, nutritious and fresh as the Earth-grown variety.
Gioia Massa of NASA Kennedy Space Center is the lead scientist on the lettuce-growing project. She said that growing food in space could be wonderful for astronauts on missions lasting more than one month. “If you store packaged food for a long time, not only will the flavour and nutritional quality decrease, but the vitamins will degrade. After eating such food, astronauts’ intake of nutrition is not ensured,” she said. “Besides, for them, there may also be psychological benefits of growing and looking after plants.
Lettuce has been grown in batches (分批) onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The vegetable production system is known as Veggie. It is composed of plant pillows (sealed units containing ceramic soil), LED lighting and a watering system that allows astronauts to inject water through a tube. The lettuce crops grow undisturbed for 33 to 56 days before being harvested and eaten, or deep-frozen and returned to Earth for chemical and biological analysis.
The space-grown lettuces are similar in make-up to Earth-grown ones but they have higher levels of bacteria (细菌), possibly due to their growth in a warmer, more humid (潮湿) and closed-air system. But they are not found to carry any harmful bacteria.
NASA is now enlarging the range of produce grown onboard the ISS. It will be quite some time before any vegetables can be transformed into a dish, however. “While we have nowhere to cook up there now, we can look forward to more things that taste fresh,” Massa explained.
12. What does the underlined word “augmented” probably mean in Paragraph 1
A. Enlarged.
B. Engaged.
C. Reduced.
D. Measured.
13. What do we know about growing space-grown lettuce
A. It’s flavor and nutritional quality decline.
B. It is terrible for astronauts on missions.
C. It can contribute to astronauts’ mental health.
D. It will make sure the astronauts’ intake of nutrition.
14. What can we infer from the text
A. Lettuces will be grown in batches onboard.
B. The vegetable production system consists of three parts.
C. It will take at least 56 days to harvest the space-grown lettuce crop.
D. Thanks to growing environment, the space-grown lettuces don’t contain any harmful bacteria.
15. What does Massa mainly intend to explain in the last paragraph
A. The difficulty in growing produce onboard.
B. The necessity to enlarge the space onboard.
C. The desire to enjoy cooked vegetables onboard.
D. The expectation to enrich the variety of produce grown onboard.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今宇航员在太空舱成功种植了生菜。这不仅能为宇航员提供营养，而且种植和照顾生菜也能促进宇航员的心理健康。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Space travelers over the years have become used to certain foods such as freeze-dried ice cream and liquid salt and pepper.(多年来，宇航员已经习惯了某些食物，比如冻干冰淇淋、液体盐和胡椒)”可知，多年来，宇航员已经习惯了某些食物，结合划线单词下文“with the first space-grown lettuce (生菜)found to be as safe, nutritious and fresh as the Earth-grown variety.(第一个太空种植的生菜，人们发现这是安全的，营养和新鲜的地球种植品种)”可知，现在宇航员的菜单上有了新的食物——生菜。由此推知，划线单词augmented意为“增加”，与A项“Enlarged.(增大)”意思一样，故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““Besides, for them, there may also be psychological benefits of growing and looking after plants.(此外，对他们来说，种植和照顾植物可能也有心理上的好处)”可知，在太空种植生菜可以促进宇航员的心理健康。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The vegetable production system is known as Veggie. It is composed of plant pillows (sealed units containing ceramic soil), LED lighting and a watering system that allows astronauts to inject water through a tube.(菜生产系统被称为Veggie。它由植物枕头（包含陶土的密封单元）、 LED 照明和一个允许宇航员通过管子注水的浇水系统组成)”可推知，蔬菜生产系统由三部分组成。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““While we have nowhere to cook up there now, we can look forward to more things that taste fresh,” Massa explained.(“虽然我们现在没有地方烹饪，我们可以期待更多味道新鲜的东西，”马萨解释说)”可推知，Massa在最后一段试图解释，他希望丰富太空舱种植的农产品品种。故选D。

Dear Mike,
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Mike,
You wrote that your parents won’t listen when you tell them things. I understand that quite well that you are puzzled or a little dissatisfied. You think that your parents can’t understand you because they are adults.
I recommend that you talk to your parents about your anxiety. It is better I believe to be straightforward and honest than to repress your feelings and keep them inside. Most parents don’t listen to their kids because they fail to see that their child is growing up and is becoming more mature as the days pass by. Probably the best way to tackle this is by keeping your cool. Remember that no matter how angry they can get, they still love you. Staying calm helps you maintain your understanding and trying to convince them in a calm state of mind goes a long way in helping you prove your point. It will also make you sound far more superior to them when you are in calm mood despite the tense situation.
I am sure that you will develop better relationship with your parents.
All the best.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Ariel rode her bike to Jamaie Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. After a one-mile walk, she found a beautiful female swan (天鹅) near the water’s edge. Ariel, 30 , who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund health recovery center, knew that some swans can be aggressive (攻击性的). But as she approached this one, it didn’t move. Ariel found that the swan which buried its neck in its wings seemed to have lost its all energy.
She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Ariel took off her jacket and covered the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and carried it in her arms gently. And then a thought struck her: What do I do now
Her best choice was the recovery center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way Luckily, some warm-hearted strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.
On the subway, no one seemed particularly to focus on the feathered passenger. “One man was sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him.” said Ariel. Ariel called the center, and Tristan Higginbotham, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird, the bike, and the rescuer to the center.
注意：
1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2）续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
There, the staff members along with Ariel gave the swan careful examination.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon Ariel’s story got spread online.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】There, the staff members along with Ariel gave the swan careful examination. And they decided that the swan might have lead poisoning, caused by eating weights used on fishing lines. With careful attention, the swan was back up on her feet, ending up even making a handsome boyfriend at the center—another injured swan, and living a happy life with him. The staff thought it a happy ending and built a web page on the Internet to praise Ariel and call on more people to follow Ariel’s example.
Soon Ariel’s story got spread online. Moved and inspired by her selfless contribution and generous kindness, Internet users posted to sing highly of her one after another. When interviewed, she said “Animals are the friends of mankind and an important part of the natural ecosystem. It is human precious natural resources. Protecting animals to maintain natural ecological balance has important significance. Thus, we human, as their friends, should pay our efforts to save and protect them. Naturally, I just did what I thought right.”
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ariel骑自行车去纽约皇后区的杰米湾野生动物保护区时偶然遇到了一只受伤的天鹅，在一些热心的陌生人让她搭便车和乘坐地铁之后，动物护理经理特里斯坦·希金波坦(Tristan Higginbotham)在地铁站接了她，把天鹅、自行车和她送到了中心，最终天鹅获得了及时的救治，Ariel得到了广大网友的赞美。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“在那里，工作人员和Ariel一起仔细检查了这只天鹅。”可知，第一段可描写对天鹅救治的过程以及工作人员建立网站赞美Ariel的行为。
②由第二段首句内容“很快，Ariel的故事在网上传开了。”可知，第二段可描写Ariel的行为受到了网友的高度赞扬并描写了Ariel面对采访时表达了自己的感想。
2.续写线索：确认天鹅需要医治——经过细心照料，天鹅重新站起来——工作人员建立网站赞美Ariel——网友们被感动和鼓舞——网友高度赞扬她

Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up I was really shy, so I always turned to books,” she said. “They became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”
In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad suffered from cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger comfort, and she started thinking about families in similar situations. When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to help others. “The idea came from the fact that there were kids who were facing the same problem,” she said.
Then, Emily started the book drive in her hometown, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Her father was not surprised by this plan. “She always wants to do things for the neighborhood,” he said. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.
Emily had no idea how much attention her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. “I was expecting maybe two or three neighbors to do it,” she said. “But it ended up blowing up,” especially when newspapers began reporting it.
The Children’s Inn is one of the places where Emily has donated books. “Donations like Emily’s share a piece of the world with kids and families that they may not experience,” said its director, Aisha Campbell. Emily continues to run the book drive with her parents’ help. She hopes to one day make it reach more kids. The memory of the first time she visited children who’d received her books sticks with her. “It was the best day of my life,” she said. “I realized I wanted to do this type of work forever.”
4. What made Emily come up with the book drive
A. Her father’s illness. B. Her care for others.
C. Her habit of reading. D. Her own shyness.
5. What did Emily’s For Love & Buttercup want to do
A. Help her father defeat cancer. B. Give her father a surprise.
C. Comfort other kids in need. D. Collect books for hospitals.
6. How did Emily feel about the book drive at first
A. Uncertain. B. Surprised. C. Proud. D. Disappointed.
7. What is Emily’s future plan
A. Getting more help from her parents. B. Starting another book drive very soon.
C. Making her program benefit more kids. D. Writing books about her experiences.
C
Have you ever imagined that scientists could make robots that will be able to feel and touch just like humans In the future robots might no longer be stiff (僵硬的), metal machines. They might be able to act and even look just like us!
The system used to help robots feel is called “haptics technology”. Haptics is a word which is used to describe the way we understand something through the use of touch. For example, now doctors can use robotic machines in operations. But this is a bit dangerous. Why Because the robot cannot feel anything. The doctor can only see what the robot is doing by watching on a screen.
However, US scientists have created a machine called Neo that a doctor wears on his or her head. Neo is connected to the robot doing the operation. When the robot touches something, Neo imitates the touch on the doctor’s head.
The invention of Neo is great news for doctors because now they can feel what the robot is feeling. But scientists have even bigger dreams. They are trying to make robots that can feel for themselves just like humans. They have created sensors that are just like the human fingertip. These sensors are at the end of the robots’ hands. Messages will be sent to the robots’ “brains”. And the robots will know how to hold something without breaking it.
If these scientists succeed, robots will feel just like a human and will be able to control themselves. Can we imagine humans will no longer be the masters (主人) of the world because robots are just as smart as we are in 500 years
8. The underlined word “imitates” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.
A. trains B. draws
C. copies D. remembers
9. The fourth paragraph mainly talks about________.
A. how Neo works B. robots that can feel for themselves like humans
C. what Neo can do D. how a message is sent to the robots’ brains
10. What can we learn about sensors from the passage
A. They can help robots write messages.
B. They can help robots write break things
C. They are at the end of the robots’ heads.
D. They can help send messages to robots.
11. The writer may think the future will be________ if the robots replace humans to be the masters of the world.
A. surprising B. bright
C. relaxing D. hopeful
D
Life as an astronaut has various unique attractions. This can include experiencing weightlessness and looking back at Earth as a pale blue dot. Food is not among them. Space travelers over the years have become used to certain foods such as freeze-dried ice cream and liquid salt and pepper. Now, the menu is set to be augmented, with the first space-grown lettuce (生菜) found to be as safe, nutritious and fresh as the Earth-grown variety.
Gioia Massa of NASA Kennedy Space Center is the lead scientist on the lettuce-growing project. She said that growing food in space could be wonderful for astronauts on missions lasting more than one month. “If you store packaged food for a long time, not only will the flavour and nutritional quality decrease, but the vitamins will degrade. After eating such food, astronauts’ intake of nutrition is not ensured,” she said. “Besides, for them, there may also be psychological benefits of growing and looking after plants.
Lettuce has been grown in batches (分批) onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The vegetable production system is known as Veggie. It is composed of plant pillows (sealed units containing ceramic soil), LED lighting and a watering system that allows astronauts to inject water through a tube. The lettuce crops grow undisturbed for 33 to 56 days before being harvested and eaten, or deep-frozen and returned to Earth for chemical and biological analysis.
The space-grown lettuces are similar in make-up to Earth-grown ones but they have higher levels of bacteria (细菌), possibly due to their growth in a warmer, more humid (潮湿的) and closed-air system. But they are not found to carry any harmful bacteria.
NASA is now enlarging the range of produce grown onboard the ISS. It will be quite some time before any vegetables can be transformed into a dish, however. “While we have nowhere to cook up there now, we can look forward to more things that taste fresh,” Massa explained.
12. What does the underlined word “augmented” probably mean in Paragraph 1
A. Enlarged.
B. Engaged.
C. Reduced.
D. Measured.
13. What do we know about growing space-grown lettuce
A. It’s flavor and nutritional quality decline.
B. It is terrible for astronauts on missions.
C. It can contribute to astronauts’ mental health.
D. It will make sure the astronauts’ intake of nutrition.
14. What can we infer from the text
A. Lettuces will be grown in batches onboard.
B. The vegetable production system consists of three parts.
C. It will take at least 56 days to harvest the space-grown lettuce crop.
D. Thanks to growing environment, the space-grown lettuces don’t contain any harmful bacteria.
15. What does Massa mainly intend to explain in the last paragraph
A. The difficulty in growing produce onboard.
B. The necessity to enlarge the space onboard.
C. The desire to enjoy cooked vegetables onboard.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Ariel rode her bike to Jamaie Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, New York, last November, she planned to go hiking and bird-watching. After a one-mile walk, she found a beautiful female swan (天鹅) near the water’s edge. Ariel, 30 , who had worked at the Wild Bird Fund health recovery center, knew that some swans can be aggressive (攻击性的). But as she approached this one, it didn’t move. Ariel found that the swan which buried its neck in its wings seemed to have lost its all energy.
She was certain that the bird needed medical attention. Ariel took off her jacket and covered the bird’s head to keep it calm, carefully picked it up, and carried it in her arms gently. And then a thought struck her: What do I do now
Her best choice was the recovery center, but that was across the East River and clear on the other side of town. How was she going to transport a 17-pound swan on her bike all that way Luckily, some warm-hearted strangers driving by offered her, her bike, and the swan a lift to a nearby subway station.
On the subway, no one seemed particularly to focus on the feathered passenger. “One man was sitting right in front of me on his phone. I don’t know if he noticed there was a swan in front of him.” said Ariel. Ariel called the center, and Tristan Higginbotham, an animal-care manager, picked her up at the subway station and drove the bird, the bike, and the rescuer to the center.
注意：
1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2）续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
There, the staff members along with Ariel gave the swan careful examination.
