Popcorm Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.
This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.
The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊)needed help. One of its front paws(爪子)had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.
Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.
Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.
Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed-in areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.

A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, show customers around a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears touched.
Making its first appearance at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters.
It has four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human workmates, BellaBot miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen, which displays(展示)animations of a cat’s face.
“The owner’s hand is so warm, ”BellaBot has been programmed to respond.
However, much like a real cat, the robot’s reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long.
“It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job, ”the designers introduced.
In a real-world food-service setting however, BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at the busiest times. Anyway, restaurants are expected to increase their relying on automatons(小型机器人)—whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or not.
Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and dealing with new activities.
12. BellaBot was built to .
A. improve restaurants’ environment B. overcome the lack of waiters
C. change food service styles D. attract young customers
13. We know from Paragraph 3 that BellaBot can .
A. play programs B. load itself with meals
C. respond to customers’ thanks D. make friends with customers
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word ”petted“ in Paragraph 5
A. Touched. B. Lifted C. Attacked. D. Used.
15. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future consumer robot designs
A. Doulbtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring. D. Cautious.

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen, which displays(展示)animations of a cat’s face.”（如果顾客通过触摸BellaBot的耳朵来感谢它，BellaBot就会在屏幕上以高兴的表情回应，屏幕上还会显示猫脸的动画。）可知，BellaBot会通过在屏幕上用高兴的表情回应顾客的感谢，故选C。
【14题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了为保持健康，每周应吃的四种蔬菜。
【16题详解】
空格处的句子是一个承上启下的句子，根据下文的介绍的几种蔬菜可知，空格处的句子应该引出下文的几种蔬菜，而B项“Below is a list of vegetables to eat each week to stay healthy.（下面是保持健康每周要吃的蔬菜清单）”填入空格处，可以引领下文。故选B项。
【17题详解】
空格前的句子“Carrots contain elements that, according to certain studies, may lower the chance of developing certain cancers. One study discovered a link between increased self-reported intake of carrots and a lower risk of colorectal cancer(直肠癌), which was published in the journal Nutrients in 2020.（根据某些研究，胡萝卜含有一些元素，可以降低患某些癌症的几率。 一项研究发现，自我报告的胡萝卜摄入量增加与结直肠癌风险降低之间存在联系，该研究于2020年发表在《营养素》杂志上）”是说胡萝卜对健康的好处。既然有这些好处，那么，下文就应该是建议多吃胡萝卜。所以，A项“Hence, please regularly eat them to promote overall health.（因此，请经常吃它们来促进整体健康）”填入空格处和上文形成顺接关系。故选A项。
【18题详解】
空格后的句子“Therefore, for the best results, peel your onions as little as possible before using them in cooking.（因此，为了达到最好的效果，在烹饪洋葱之前，尽量少削洋葱皮）”建议烹饪洋葱之前，尽量少削洋葱皮。为什么呢？D项“Interestingly, onions’ outer layers contain most antioxidant chemicals（有趣的是，洋葱的外层含有大部分抗氧化化学物质）”正好说明了原因。所以，D项填入空格处，符合题意。故选D项。
【19题详解】
空格后的句子“Eight grams of plant-based protein and more than 25% of the daily fiber intake are both found in one cup. Additionally, one cup has near to 100% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C and around 10% of the recommended daily intake of iron, vitamin B6, magnesium, and potassium.（一杯中含有8克植物蛋白和超过25%的每日纤维摄入量。此外，一杯的维生素C摄入量接近推荐每日摄入量的100%，铁、维生素B6、镁和钾摄入量约为推荐每日摄入量10%）”是说这种蔬菜中蛋白质等各种营养元素的含量，但我们不知道是哪种蔬菜，所以空格处的句子应该提到这种蔬菜，并且强调它含蛋白质等营养元素。所以F项“One of the vegetables with the highest levels of protein and fiber is green peas.（绿豌豆是蛋白质和纤维含量最高的蔬菜之一）”填入空格处，符合题意。故选F项。
【20题详解】
空格后的句子“Because of this, potatoes may appeal more to athletes searching for whole-food sources of carbohydrates while exercising.（正因为如此，土豆可能更能吸引那些在运动时寻找全食物碳水化合物来源的运动员）”是说，土豆会吸引那些在运动时寻找全食物碳水化合物来源的运动员。为什么呢？C项“According to one study, eating them while exercising is as good as consuming carbohydrate gels.（根据一项研究，运动时吃它们和吃碳水化合物凝胶一样好）”解释了原因。所以，C项填入空格处，符合题意。故选C项。

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
A tornado(龙卷风) hit a small town nearby, leaving many families completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the most difficult period to appeal to people’s attention and assistance.
One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of a simple mobile home, with a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing size of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that sizes of the family closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan to help those less fortunate than themselves.
"We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing," I said. "We’ll share what we have with them. " I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and food. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. The boys were pleased to join. Brad rose and went to his room fast. He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently. Brett also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up abandoned toys.
The boys placed the objects they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, best-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. "I’ll help you find something for the little girl, too," I said to little Meghan.
Paragraph 1:
"Mommy, I will give Lucy to them," Meghan turned to me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Recognizing what little Meghan’s gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
"Mommy, I will give Lucy to them," Meghan turned to me. "Oh, honey," I said. "You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much. " Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with tears. "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too. " She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy’s flat face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys. The boys watched, open-mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box.
Paragraph 2:
Recognizing what little Meghan’s gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new green jacket that I bought last week. I believed the young woman in the picture would like it as much as I did. The boys were inspired by our behavior and offered their beloved things to the family. We all wished the family could pass the difficult period as soon as possible and that they would love the things we gave them with all our heart.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开。一场龙卷风袭击了附近的一座小镇，破坏了很多家庭。作者在报纸上看到消息后，决定和双胞胎儿子及三岁的女儿一起帮助一位年轻的女士和她的两个孩子。在她们捐出自己不太需要的东西时，三岁的小女儿却要捐出自己最爱的布娃娃。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Meghan转向我说:“妈妈,我要把Lucy捐给他们。”，由上文可知，Lucy是Meghan最爱的布娃娃，因此可推测下文会描述我们听到她这样说时的惊讶以及Meghan对布娃娃的依依不舍。
②由第二段首句内容“领悟到了小Meghan举动的意义，我从装衣服的箱子中取出了我的旧外套”，所以接下来的内容应该是作者也像女儿一样放入了自己珍爱的东西。她们捐东西是为了帮助受难的那一家人，因此本段很有可能会讲到我们对这一家人的祝福和关心。
2.续写线索：获知一位年轻的女士和她的两个孩子需要帮助——决定帮助——寻找物品——Meghan的做法——作者被Meghan的做法所激励且改变了自己的做法——作者的做法对于其它家庭成员的影响以及作者的希望。

Popcorm Park Zoo is not like most zoos. It is a very special place.
This unusual place was not originally a zoo. At first it was called the Forked River Animal Care Center. The workers there looked after lost or unwanted cats and dogs. Today the center is part of the zoo, but now many other kinds of animals are helped there, too.
The changes to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon(浣熊)needed help. One of its front paws(爪子)had been badly hurt. The workers cared for the animal. Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself. The raccoon was allowed to live there. Then a hurt deer was brought there for help. It, too, stayed there after it got well.
Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there. Soon it was no longer just a home for cats and dogs. So many animals were living there that it became more like a zoo.
Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn made without oil or salt. The popcorn is sold there to help make money to care for the animals. People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat.
Popcorn Park Zoo now looks after more than 200 kinds of animals. Many of them live freely there. Some of the gentler ones, such as goats, sheep, geese, and deer, walk among the visitors who come to see them. Others are kept in large closed-in areas almost like their natural homes. All the animals there get care and love.
8. Before 1977, the center was a home for .
A. lost or unwanted cats and dogs
B. hurt or homeless raccoons and goats
C. lost or unwanted deer and sheep
D. hurt or homeless raccoons and geese
9. How did the workers in the center help the raccoon
A. They changed its front paws.
B. They cured it and let it live there.
C. They sent it back to its home.
D. They built another home just for it.
10. The popcom is sold in Popcom Park Zoo to .
A. treat the visitors B. reward the workers
C. trick the animals D. raise money
11. What can we learn about animals in the zoo from the last paragraph
A. They all live in closed-in areas.
B. Some of them can walk out of the zoo freely.
C. All of them are taken good care of.
D. Some of them have already returned to nature.

A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, show customers around a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears touched.
Making its first appearance at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters.
It has four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human workmates, BellaBot miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen, which displays(展示)animations of a cat’s face.
“The owner’s hand is so warm, ”BellaBot has been programmed to respond.
However, much like a real cat, the robot’s reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long.
“It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job, ”the designers introduced.
In a real-world food-service setting, however, BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at the busiest times. Anyway, restaurants are expected to increase their relying on automatons(小型机器人)—whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or not.
Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and dealing with new activities.
12. BellaBot was built to .
A. improve restaurants’ environment B. overcome the lack of waiters
C. change food service styles D. attract young customers
13. We know from Paragraph 3 that BellaBot can .
A. play programs B. load itself with meals
C. respond to customers’ thanks D. make friends with customers
14. Which of the following can replace the underlined word ”petted“ in Paragraph 5
A. Touched. B. Lifted C. Attacked. D. Used.
15. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future consumer robot designs
A. Doulbtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring. D. Cautious.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
A tornado(龙卷风) hit a small town nearby, leaving many families completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the most difficult period to appeal to people’s attention and assistance.
One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of a simple mobile home, with a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Hiding behind her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, wide eyes with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing size of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that sizes of the family closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan to help those less fortunate than themselves.
"We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing," I said. "We’ll share what we have with them. " I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and food. While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. The boys were pleased to join. Brad rose and went to his room fast. He came back bringing his action figures that he played with not so frequently. Brett also jumped up and ran to fetch some of his Matchbox cars and airplane models. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up abandoned toys.
The boys placed the objects they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, best-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. "I’ll help you find something for the little girl, too," I said to little Meghan.
Paragraph 1:
"Mommy, I will give Lucy to them," Meghan turned to me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Recognizing what little Meghan’s gesture meant, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.
