I was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No. 8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, as well as the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other, expecting the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.
I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.
4. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes
A. He liked the August heat better. B. He had to go back to the meeting.
C. He wanted to show off his new car. D. He didn’t think the dryer worked well.
5. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No. 8
A. She was warm-hearted. B. She needed a volunteer.
C. She wanted to thank him. D. She was sorry for the mess.
6. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry
A. It was harder to fulfill. B. It was really fascinating.
C. It was badly-paid work. D. It needed a lot of effort.
7. What can be inferred about the author from the passage
A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy.
B. He made a lot of friends in college.
C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him.
D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者来到了一个新的学校，需要一些坚实的东西让他感到踏实，之后作者遇到了Sandy，两人建立了亲密的关系，作者找到了归属感。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.(洗衣机的工作完成了，但即使过了一个小时，烘干机似乎也几乎没有烘干我的衣服。我离开了，决定在8月的高温下在车上风干它们)”可知，作者之所以拿着湿衣服离开是因为他认为烘干机没用。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.(一个月后，我才知道她的名字叫Sandy，是在我帮她阻止一台洗衣机在地板上移动后，她告诉我的。当时我正在桌子旁批改诗歌，突然一个洗衣机松开了，飞到空中一英寸。我跳到洗衣机前，抓住不放，她拔下插头。第二个星期，Sandy告诉我8号烘干机是最快的)”可推知，Sandy告诉作者8号烘干机最快是因为她想对作者表达感谢。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.(她开玩笑说，当诗人比当洗衣工更难谋生。即使那时我也知道她可能是对的)”可推知，Sandy认为诗人的待遇太差。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.(但Sandy是我生活的中心。在将近三年的时间里，几乎每个星期，我都会一边洗衣服一边和她聊天。我们互相查看对方在不在，并期望对方在那里。当我们错过一个星期的时候，我们会问对方去了哪里)”可推知，作者和Sandy之间建立了亲密的友谊。故选A。
C
One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students. They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case.
Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal. They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths”.
The writers looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative.
Having many interests, the Root-Bernsteins wrote, permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems. In fact, one important part of science is not discovering answers, but recognizing problems that need to be solved.
The prize winners, the Root-Bernsteins said, transfer “skills, techniques and materials from one field to another.” They said Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in medicine in 1912 by using techniques he learned from the clothing business. He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in operations to put new organs into people’s bodies.
The Michigan State University professors study creativity. They found Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers say that unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up some of their outside interests, Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.
8. What comes as a surprise to students according to the passage
A. Meldal’s winning Nobel Prize. B. Meldal’s original working field.
C. Meldal’s desire to understand the world. D. Meldal’s study with Michigan State University.
9. What kind of people can be sorted as “polymaths”
A. People who are equipped with various interests.
B. People who only concentrated on just one field.
C. People who are committed lifelong to their career.
D. People who are admired for established achievements.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Root-Bernsteins’ discovery
A. Subjective. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Creative Scientist B. An Amazing Rise to Fame
C. A Born Nobel Prize Winner D. A Secret to Winning Top Prize
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了研究发现，许多诺贝尔奖获得者都是博学多才的人，他们有广泛的兴趣爱好，而这对创造力非常重要。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he ‘wanted to understand the world.’(在描述他的职业生涯时，Meldal说他最初是一名工程师，但后来改学化学，因为他‘想了解这个世界’。)”和第二段的“Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students. They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. (Meldal的经历可能会让学生们大吃一惊。他们可能认为他们必须把工作和学习生活集中在一个领域才能成功。)”可知，学生们可能认为自己必须集中精力于一个领域才能获得成功，但Meldal却不是这样，他最初是工程师，后来才转学化学，他的经历让学生们很吃惊。由此可推测出，学生们感到惊讶的是Meldal最初的工作领域。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as ‘polymaths’.(他们说，许多诺贝尔奖获得者可以被称为‘博学的人’。)”和第四段的“They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.(他们决定，当获奖者的学生接着获得诺贝尔奖时，他们从老师那里学到的一些东西是如何过一种兴趣多样的生活。)”可推知，可以被归类为“博学的人”的人是有各种各样兴趣爱好的人。故选A。
【10题详解】
观点态度题。根据第五段的“Having many interests, the Root-Bernsteins wrote, permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems.(Root-Bernstein夫妇写道，兴趣广泛使科学家能够寻找创造性的方法来解决问题。)”和第六段的“The prize winners, the Root-Bernsteins said, transfer ‘skills, techniques and materials from one field to another.’ ”(Root-Bernstein夫妇说，获奖者将‘技能、技术和材料从一个领域转移到另一个领域’。)”可知，本文作者只是转述Root-Bernstein夫妇的发现，因此作者对于Root-Bernstein夫妇的发现持客观态度，故选C。
【11题详解】
标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal. They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as ‘polymaths’.(Michele Root-Bernstein和其丈夫Robert Root-Bernstein在《创造力研究杂志》上发表了他们的研究。他们说，许多诺贝尔奖获得者可以被称为‘博学的人’。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究发现，许多诺贝尔奖获得者是博学多才的人，这可以说是获得诺贝尔奖的秘诀，因此本文最恰当的题目是D选项“A Secret to Winning Top Prize(赢得最高奖的秘诀)”，故选D。
D
The sound of children’s laughter is not something you often hear at a hospital. Yet in the hallways of Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC Hospital) in Orange, California, the joyous sound of kids having fun will soon be a common occurrence. That’s because Honda teamed up with the hospital to create a first-of-its-kind electric car made just for kids!
Shogo is the child-sized electric ride-on car, which was built by Honda through their charitable “Project Courage”, an initiative aimed at adding some much-needed happiness to the days of children battling with serious illnesses in hospital.
Shogo was made entirely by Honda’s engineers, and they’re incredibly proud of it. The car has been used at CHOC in place of wheelchairs. Now, patients can drive themselves to their treatment s in various parts of the hospital, giving them a reason to look forward to these procedures instead of dreading them.
Shogo is meant for child drivers aged 4 through 9. The car has a simple stop/go mechanism they can easily use, and it’s capable of going about one to five miles per hour. Don’t worry, though; the speed is controlled not by the kids but by a nurse or caregiver walking alongside the car.
Safety was at the top of the engineers’ minds when making Shogo. Besides, the vehicle has no doors so kids can easily get in and out, a soft-to-the-touch interior that can be washed to stay sanitary (卫生的) in a hospital setting, and it comes equipped with an I. V. pole holder. There’s even a toy holder and a horn with different sound options, and kids can create their own custom license plate for the built-in holder. So far, every patient who has tried Shogo has absolutely loved it!
What a fantastic invention! There’s nothing more beautiful than the sound of kids having fun, and we’re so delighted that caregivers at CHOC will get to hear that sound more often from now on.
12. Why does Honda build Shogo with CHOC Hospital
A. To improve the service quality of nurses.
B. To initiate the charitable “Project Courage”.
C. To make hospital stay more fun for sick kids.
D. To help patients know their treatment procedures.
13. What does the underlined word “dreading” mean in paragraph 3
A. Being busy with. B. Being afraid of. C. Catching up with. D. Taking control of.
14. What can help keep child drivers safe when they drive the Shogo
A. The little patients’ driving license. B. The advanced equipment on the car.
C. The design by the Honda’s engineers. D. The company of a nurse or a caregiver.
15 What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Shogo can be easily controlled by the child drivers.
B. Shogo can offer a tiny patient a pleasant experience.
C. More Shogoes will be used in place of wheelchairs.
D. Honda’s engineers are proud of the design of Shogo.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍医院内的小病人乘坐特殊电动车自行前往医院各科室接受治疗。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“an initiative aimed at adding some much-needed happiness to the days of children battling with serious illnesses in hospital (旨在为儿童在医院与重病作斗争的日子增添一些急需的快乐的新方案)”可知，Honda 建造 Shogo的目的是使生病的孩子们在住院期间获得更多快乐。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Now, patients can drive themselves to their treatments in various parts of the hospital, giving them a reason to look forward to these procedures instead of .(现在，病人可以自己开车去医院的各个地方接受治疗，这让他们有理由期待这些手术)”可知，这样做是让孩子们渴望去治疗而不是恐惧治疗。A. Being busy with忙于；B. Being afraid of害怕；C. Catching up with赶上；D. Taking control of控制。故选B。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Don’t worry, though; the speed is controlled not by the kids but by a nurse or caregiver walking alongside the car. (不过，别担心；速度不是由孩子们控制的，而是由走在车旁边的护士或看护人控制的。)”可知，护士和护工的陪伴可以保证孩子开车时安全。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Safety was at the top of the engineers’ minds when making Shogo. Besides, the vehicle has no doors so kids can easily get in and out, a soft-to-the-touch interior that can be washed to stay sanitary (卫生的) in a hospital setting, and it comes equipped with an I. V. pole holder. There’s even a toy holder and a horn with different sound options, and kids can create their own custom license plate for the built-in holder. So far, every patient who has tried Shogo has absolutely loved it! (在制造Shogo时，工程师们首先考虑的是安全问题。此外，这辆车没有门，所以孩子们可以很容易地进出，柔软的内部触感可以清洗，在医院环境中保持卫生，它配备了一个静脉注射杆支架。甚至还有一个玩具支架和一个有不同声音选项的喇叭，孩子们可以为内置支架制作自己的定制车牌。到目前为止，每个尝试过Shogo的病人都非常喜欢它!)”可知，Shogo装载的设备可以让孩子们在使用Shogo时会有愉快的体验。故选B。

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。
Why Experiencing a New Culture Is Good for You
Often the best way to really explore a new place and culture is by spending abundant time there. A quick vacation may give you a glimpse(警) into your destination. ____16____. These opportunities provide a support network as you adjust to new surroundings.
Dealing with culture shock
Culture shock is a response to your new surroundings when abroad that can leave you confused, anxious and feeling lonely. It generally includes frustration at how even the simplest things can be different in the new culture. The thing is though, culture shock can be seen as a problem but also as an opportunity. ____17____.
____18____
Perhaps the most obvious lesson learned with travel is the importance of language. Even just learning the basics of the local language can make getting about and making new friends easier. Trying to overcome the language barrier also teaches you about non-verbal communication. Since you can’t rely on what is being said, you learn to adapt, to people’s tone and body language. This makes you a better communicator.
Finding inspiration
____19____. In each of these creative fields you may come across new approaches or elements that you bring home with you; maybe it’s a certain combination of ingredients that you add to your cooking or a new style you adopt for your own home’s design.
Meeting new people
Meeting people and making friends while overseas is both a necessity and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the experience. ____20____, which enables you to meet people that you never would have known otherwise. You may be exposed to people from different walks of life, find a similar spirit, or both at the same time.
A. Learning language skills
B. Developing body language
C. So you’re less likely to further experience a new culture
D. Travelling to new cultures is a great way to expand your social circle
E. Experiencing the local culture can expose you to local art, cuisine, architecture, etc.
F. Only by adjusting to and accepting new surroundings can you understand and appreciate it
G. But experiences like student or work exchange programs allow you to immerse(沉浸) in a new culture
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了体验一种新的文化的好处。
【16题详解】
上文“Often the best way to really explore a new place and culture is by spending abundant time there. A quick vacation may give you a glimpse(警) into your destination. (通常，真正探索一个新的地方和文化的最好方法是在那里度过大量的时间。短暂度假可以让你对目的地有个初步了解。)”提出探索一个新的地方和文化的最好方法是在那里度过大量的时间，短暂度假只能让你对目的地有个初步了解，G项“But experiences like student or work exchange programs allow you to immerse(沉浸) in a new culture(但是像学生或工作交换项目这样的经历可以让你沉浸在一种新的文化中。)”给出两种能让人沉浸在一种新的文化中的方式：学生或工作交换项目，与上文中“A quick vacation”构成转折关系，上下文语意连贯。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“Culture shock is a response to your new surroundings when abroad that can leave you confused, anxious and feeling lonely. It generally includes frustration at how even the simplest things can be different in the new culture. The thing is though, culture shock can be seen as a problem but also as an opportunity. (文化冲击是你在国外对新环境的一种反应，它会让你困惑、焦虑和感到孤独。它通常包括对新文化中即使是最简单的事情也会有所不同的挫败感。问题是，文化冲击既可以被视为一个问题，也可以被视为一个机会。)”介绍了什么是文化冲击，结合段首标题“Dealing with culture shock(应对文化冲击)”可知本段最终要说明如果应对文化冲击，F项“Only by adjusting to and accepting new surroundings can you understand and appreciate it (只有适应和接受新的环境，你才能理解和欣赏它。)”给出应对文化冲击的办法“by adjusting to and accepting new surroundings”，照应主题。故选F。
【18题详解】
这里为本段小标题。根据下文“Perhaps the most obvious lesson learned with travel is the importance of language. Even just learning the basics of the local language can make getting about and making new friends easier. Trying to overcome the language barrier also teaches you about non-verbal communication. Since you can’t rely on what is being said, you learn to adapt, to people’s tone and body language. This makes you a better communicator. (也许从旅行中学到的最明显的教训就是语言的重要性。即使只是学习当地语言的基本知识也能让你更容易走动和结交新朋友。努力克服语言障碍还能教会你非语言交流。因为你不能依赖别人说的话，你要学会适应别人的语气和肢体语言。这会让你成为一个更好的沟通者。)”可知，本段主要介绍语言对体验新文化的重要性。所以A项“Learning language skills (学习语言技能)”是最佳主题句。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据后文“In each of these creative fields you may come across new approaches or elements that you bring home with you; maybe it’s a certain combination of ingredients that you add to your cooking or a new style you adopt for your own home’s design. (在这些创造性的领域中，你可能会遇到新的方法或元素，你带回家；也许是你在烹饪中添加的某种食材组合，或者是你为自己的家庭设计采用的一种新风格。)”可知，本段介绍通过当地的艺术、美食、建筑等方面来体验新的文化。所以E项“Experiencing the local culture can expose you to local art, cuisine, architecture, etc. (体验当地文化可以让你接触到当地的艺术、美食、建筑等。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据前句“Meeting people and making friends while overseas is both a necessity and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the experience. (在海外结识朋友是必要的，也是最令人愉快的经历之一。)”和后半句“which enables you to meet people that you never would have known otherwise. (它能让你认识一些你以前永远不会认识的人。)”可知，通过社交，结交朋友是体验新文化的好方法。所以D项“Travelling to new cultures is a great way to expand your social circle (到新的文化中旅行是扩大你的社交圈的好方法，)”符合上下文语境。故选D。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
You know how when big things in your life aren’t going well and the little things bother you more That happened to me last year. Like many people during the pandemic, my husband, Paul, was laid off. I was still working, but my job was only part-time and would likely be ending soon too. I was worried about money, pandemic and our future.
That’s when our mailboxes really started getting to me. I’d never liked our mailboxes much. They stood at the end of our long driveway, far enough away from our house. Fortunately, I didn’t see them often. The mailboxes had already been in rough shape when we moved in and the paint was faded.
At some point, someone had driven into the pole. It was now bent slightly, making the mailboxes bend, pointing in different directions. Still, because the boxes could hold the mail and the mail carrier wasn’t complaining, there really was no need to replace them.
“I wish we could have better mailboxes,” I found myself thinking as I pulled out of the driveway one day on my way to work. It was just a passing thought. I probably would have forgotten all about it if not for the news we got the next morning.
The next day, my neighbor Ailsa told me a girl drove her car right into the mailboxes and completely knocked them down. Ailsa saw the accident and gave her our number and information. “That certainly wasn’t in our budget,” I thought. Though I wanted new mailboxes, getting them would be expensive. With our income decreasing since Paul’s layoff, this was an expense we didn’t need. I sighed.
However, the next day where our old, rusted mailboxes had once stood were two new shiny mailboxes-one black, one white. Each one had large, neat numbers on the sides, the white mailbox with black numbers and the black one with white numbers. They were beautiful. I sat there, feeling surprised.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
I opened one of the mailboxes and found a note.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When we called, the girl’s mother answered.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I opened one of the mailboxes and found a note. “Dear owner,” it read, “I am so sorry that I hit your mailboxes. I bought new pretty ones and replaced them. Again, I am so sorry. Have a wonderful day!” The writer, Audree, had bought two new mailboxes for us and she had left her phone number and address in case we needed anything else. We did - we needed to thank her. We also wanted to make sure that she hadn’t been injured.
When we called, the girl’s mother answered. “Audree is 19 years old. She’s only been driving for a year. She was not hurt. This was a great learning experience for Audree,” her mother said. From her mother, I learned that Audree had a part-time job and with the money she earned from the job, she bought the mailboxes. The young girl makes me believe that though life rarely goes as planned, it will surprise us if we are brave enough. So don’t give up the effort to maintain our hope and optimism.

I was at a new school in a new state and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I’d helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No. 8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I’d do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we’d talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, as well as the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I’d do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other, expecting the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other’s absence, a note of joy at their return.
I’d found a place to stand on solid ground.

One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”
Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students. They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case.
Michele Root-Bernstein and Robert Root-Bernstein (her husband) published their study in the Creativity Research Journal. They said that a large number of Nobel Prize winners can be described as “polymaths”.
The writers looked at past Nobel Prize winners and their students. They decided that when students of winners go on to win Nobel Prizes, some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative.
Having many interests, the Root-Bernsteins wrote, permits scientists to look for creative ways to solve problems. In fact, one important part of science is not discovering answers, but recognizing problems that need to be solved.
The prize winners, the Root-Bernsteins said, transfer “skills, techniques and materials from one field to another.” They said Alexis Carrel won his Nobel Prize in medicine in 1912 by using techniques he learned from the clothing business. He realized that people who used thread to make and fix clothing had a skill that could be used in operations to put new organs into people’s bodies.
The Michigan State University professors study creativity. They found Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers say that unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up some of their outside interests, Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.
8. What comes as a surprise to students according to the passage
A. Meldal’s winning Nobel Prize. B. Meldal’s original working field.
C. Meldal’s desire to understand the world. D. Meldal’s study with Michigan State University.
9. What kind of people can be sorted as “polymaths”
A People who are equipped with various interests.
B. People who only concentrated on just one field.
C. People who are committed lifelong to their career.
D. People who are admired for established achievements.
10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Root-Bernsteins’ discovery
A. Subjective. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A Creative Scientist B. An Amazing Rise to Fame
C. A Born Nobel Prize Winner D. A Secret to Winning Top Prize
D
The sound of children’s laughter is not something you often hear at a hospital. Yet in the hallways of Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC Hospital) in Orange, California, the joyous sound of kids having fun will soon be a common occurrence. That’s because Honda teamed up with the hospital to create a first-of-its-kind electric car made just for kids!
Shogo is the child-sized electric ride-on car, which was built by Honda through their charitable “Project Courage”, an initiative aimed at adding some much-needed happiness to the days of children battling with serious illnesses in hospital.
Shogo was made entirely by Honda’s engineers, and they’re incredibly proud of it. The car has been used at CHOC in place of wheelchairs. Now, patients can drive themselves to their treatment s in various parts of the hospital, giving them a reason to look forward to these procedures instead of dreading them.
Shogo is meant for child drivers aged 4 through 9. The car has a simple stop/go mechanism they can easily use, and it’s capable of going about one to five miles per hour. Don’t worry, though; the speed is controlled not by the kids but by a nurse or caregiver walking alongside the car.
Safety was at the top of the engineers’ minds when making Shogo. Besides, the vehicle has no doors so kids can easily get in and out, a soft-to-the-touch interior that can be washed to stay sanitary (卫生的) in a hospital setting, and it comes equipped with an I. V. pole holder. There’s even a toy holder and a horn with different sound options, and kids can create their own custom license plate for the built-in holder. So far, every patient who has tried Shogo has absolutely loved it!
What a fantastic invention! There’s nothing more beautiful than the sound of kids having fun, and we’re so delighted that caregivers at CHOC will get to hear that sound more often from now on.
12. Why does Honda build Shogo with CHOC Hospital
A. To improve the service quality of nurses.
B. To initiate the charitable “Project Courage”.
C To make hospital stay more fun for sick kids.
D. To help patients know their treatment procedures.
13. What does the underlined word “dreading” mean in paragraph 3
A. Being busy with. B. Being afraid of. C. Catching up with. D. Taking control of.
14. What can help keep child drivers safe when they drive the Shogo
A. The little patients’ driving license. B. The advanced equipment on the car.
C. The design by the Honda’s engineers. D. The company of a nurse or a caregiver.
15. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. Shogo can be easily controlled by the child drivers.
B. Shogo can offer a tiny patient a pleasant experience.
C. More Shogoes will be used in place of wheelchairs.
D. Honda’s engineers are proud of the design of Shogo.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
You know how when big things in your life aren’t going well and the little things bother you more That happened to me last year. Like many people during the pandemic, my husband, Paul, was laid off. I was still working, but my job was only part-time and would likely be ending soon too. I was worried about money, pandemic and our future.
That’s when our mailboxes really started getting to me. I’d never liked our mailboxes much. They stood at the end of our long driveway, far enough away from our house. Fortunately, I didn’t see them often. The mailboxes had already been in rough shape when we moved in and the paint was faded.
At some point someone had driven into the pole. It was now bent slightly, making the mailboxes bend, pointing in different directions. Still, because the boxes could hold the mail and the mail carrier wasn’t complaining, there really was no need to replace them.
“I wish we could have better mailboxes” I found myself thinking as I pulled out of the driveway one day on my way to work. It was just a passing thought. I probably would have forgotten all about it if not for the news we got the next morning.
The next day, my neighbor Ailsa told me a girl drove her car right into the mailboxes and completely knocked them down. Ailsa saw the accident and gave her our number and information. “That certainly wasn’t in our budget,” I thought. Though I wanted new mailboxes, getting them would be expensive. With our income decreasing since Paul’s layoff, this was an expense we didn’t need. I sighed.
However, the next day where our old, rusted mailboxes had once stood were two new shiny mailboxes-one black, one white. Each one had large, neat numbers on the sides, the white mailbox with black numbers and the black one with white numbers. They were beautiful. I sat there, feeling surprised.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
I opened one of the mailboxes and found a note.
