鉴一些经验,由此可知D项可作文章最佳标题。]

语 篇 解 读 本 文 是 一 篇 说 明 文 , 属 于 “人 与 自 我 ” 主 题 语 境 。 文 章 主 要 介 绍 了 几 条 在 家 锻 炼 身 体 的 建 议 。
36.D [此空设于段中,是一个过渡句,用于承上启下。上文提到如果你想保持健康,就要开始锻炼。空处指出你
或许会把锻炼和去健身房联系起来,下文接着指出但事实是,即使在舒适的家里,你也可以进行有规律的锻炼,
空处内容与下文构成转折关系,符合语境。故选D。]
37.E [此空设于段尾,与上文存在解释关系。上文指出你也可以使用家里的东西去锻炼。空处举例说明使用装
满水的水瓶举重是一个不错的选择。故选E。]
38.G [此空设于段中,与上文存在解释关系,与下文存在转折关系。上文提到在制定计划时要把锻炼放在首要位
置,空处指出这么做的原因是你可能会争辩说白天太忙,没有时间锻炼。下文表示转折,说明有时只是需要为
最重要的事情腾出时间,比如锻炼。故G项符合语境。]
39.B [此空设于段首,是本段的主题句。本段主要说明当你发现锻炼的常规计划不合适的时候,要适时地去改
变。故B项可作为本段主题句。]
40.F [此空设于段中,下文与其存在顺承关系。空处说明仅仅照顾你的身体以保持健康是远远不够的,下文接着
指出你也需要关注心理健康。故F项符合语境。]

Chloe Covell is professional rugby(橄榄球)player Luke Covell's daughter.Despite her fa- mous father's footy past,rugby is never on Chloe's list.Then at six years old,she began to dream about sports."The X Games was on TV.I saw American skateboarder Nyjah Huston skating. Seeing the tricks he was doing was exciting.It just hit me.I knew that was what I wanted to do," Chloe explained.
Picking up an old skateboard in her backyard,Covell started skating.Just six years after that,she has become one of Australia's best skateboarding talents,winning various awards and titles.“I'm so excited the sport has been included in the Olympic Games,”Chloe said,setting qualifying for the 2024 Summer Olympics as her present goal.
While her classmates are completing their schoolwork at home,Chloe tries to catch up on her studies between flights to Brazil,Italy,Japan and the US.At the first stop of the 2023 Street League Skateboarding tour in Chicago,Covell experienced her first taste of frustration(挫折)after she was unable to finish a trick successfully.But already she seemed to have moved on from the experience.“Every time I complete a competition,I look back on it to see what I could have changed or done better,”Covell said.“I did get a little discouraged in Chicago,but I've learnt from that now.”
The teenage girl has rapidly built a big following online,having more than 46,000 Instagram followers.She also signed with a range of sponsors,including Nike.And she's glad to get to know many other players.“I admire Rayssa Leal very much.We played a video game called ‘Skate Together’ when we first met at the X Games in Japan,”Chloe said.She also took a picture with celebrated skateboarder Nyjah Huston.“I was so scared when I started competing at the age of eight or nine.But it's getting easier now since I know a lot more people.They're all funny,nice and amazing skaters.They push me to be better,"Chloe shared.

An experiment published in iScience provides evidence that octopuses(章鱼)feel pain like humans do.
During the experiment,Crook,who comes from San Francisco State University,placed an oc- topus between two rooms with different lines and spots on the walls,and then observed where she preferred to stay.The next day,in another part of the lab,Crook put acetic acid into one of the octopus's arms.She says doing so is like pouring lemon juice on a paper cut.When the animal awoke with an aching arm,Crook kept her in the room she had preferred before.The researcher removed the octopus 20 minutes later and used lidocaine to numb(使麻木)her arm.Crook then placed her in the room she had not liked as much at first.After another 20 minutes,Crook re- turned her to her home container.
Finally,about five hours later,Crook brought the octopus back to the rooms and gave her an alternative: return to the originally preferred room,where she was kept with an aching arm,or go to the one she had not liked as much but where she was numb.Crook ran the experiment with seven octopuses.They all chose to go to the non-preferred room.As a control,Crook put salt water into seven other octopuses.Unlike the experimental group,those octopuses returned to their originally preferred room.
It turned out the octopuses related the room they had once liked better to the ache they felt the last time they were there.Then they compared that experience with their typical pain-free state and decided that how they usually felt was better.Using that information,the octopuses chose to go to the non-preferred room."There's a lot of brain processing that has to happen," Crook says.
Crook's study suggests that there should be more focus on the welfare of octopuses.Due to people's ignorance,animals like octopuses are not properly protected in both research and industry in the U.S.Luckily,Crook's findings,giving us more insights into them,have led to increased protection for octopuses.
28.What effect did lidocaine have on the studied octopus
A.Keeping her awake. B.Making her energetic.
C.Making her feel less pain. D.Removing her memory of pain.
29.What does the underlined word"alternative"in the third paragraph mean
A.Treat. B.Choice. C.Lead. D.Punishment.
30.What can we infer about octopuses according to Crook's study
A.They tend to work in groups. B.Their preference changes with time.
C.They update their memories regularly. D.Their painful memories last for hours.
31.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.The significance of the research. B.The description of the research.
C.The reasons for protecting octopuses. D.The assumption about the octopuses.
D
Humans and horses have enjoyed strong working relationships for nearly 10,000 years.Can these age-old relationships teach us something about building robots Researchers at the University of Florida carried out research and said yes.“As we work to improve how humans communicate with robots,I thought why not learn from our partnership with horses to help solve the problem of natural interaction(互动)between humans and robots ”said Eakta Jain,an associate professor of computer and information science and engineering.
Looking at our history with animals to help shape our future with robots is nothing new.But Jain and her colleagues are the first to bring together engineering and robot researchers and horse experts and trainers to do on-the ground field studies with the animals.
Jain first reached out to Joel McQuagge,who managed the UF Horse Teaching Unit.He pro vided Jain with full access,so Jain spent months observing classes.She interviewed and observed horse experts,including horse trainers and owners.Jain's notes resulted in findings and design ideas that can be applied by robot designers.
“Some of the findings are easy to visualize(可视化),while others are not very specific,”Jain said.“For example,we learned that a horse speaks with its body.You can see its ears pointing to where something caught its attention.We could build similar types of expressions without speech in our robots,like ears that point to something visual in the car when there's a person walking on that side of the street.”
A groundbreaking finding is the sense of respect.When a trainer works with a horse,he looks for signs of respect from the horse for its human partner.“We don't typically think about respect in the situation of human-robot interaction,”Jain says.“Can we design behaviors similar to what the horse uses Will that make the human more willing to work with the robot ”
32.Why does the author mention horses in the first paragraph
A.To provide examples. B.To make comparisons.
C.To introduce the topic. D.To support his argument.
33.How did Jain carry out her research
A.She interviewed engineers and robot designers.
B.She worked with horse experts for observations.
C.She discussed her design with robotics and horse experts.
D.She checked historical records of human-horse partnerships.
34.What lesson can robot designers draw from Jain's notes
A.Body language can be designed into robots.
B.Early warnings could be given if something happens.
C.Robots may hardly understand non-speech instructions.
D.Robots can perform better than horses in locating things.
35.What can be the best title for the text
A.Study the Influences of Robots on Horse Training
B.Improve the Interaction Between Robots and Humans
C.Explore the Relationships Between Humans and Horses
D.Build Better Robots Through the Experience with Horses

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。
If you want to stay healthy,you need to get moving and start exercising. 36 But the truth is that you can perform a regular exercise routine(常规)even in the comfort of your home. Here are some good tips you can follow at home.
Set up a gym area.

For most people,adopting(收养)a pet is one of the best decisions that they can ever make in their lives.In addition to giving an animal a home and a loving family,the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected.
For someone like Maria,having a pet was very suitable.She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil,which made her feel lonely.
So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips,she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone.
Maria was right.Once she took the puppy home,they immediately bonded.However,as Ma- ria had to work during the day,she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apart- ment.She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors.
One night,when she returned home,outside her door was a package with a folded note atta- ched to it.Maria knew that she was in trouble.She hoped that she would not be evicted(驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips.She loved Chips so much,and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away.Maria was frightened and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building except her neighbor,Angelia.In fact,they only said hello few times.
However,when she noticed the names on the folded note,she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog,Chips,and that it was“written”by another dog named Corote.Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Curious,Maria opened the note and started reading it.
With Chips following her,Maria knocked at Angelia's door.
