Barbara Lakin, a former fashion designer living in New York, spends hundreds of hours sewing (缝纫)unique, well-designed dress for old Barbies she buys or donated dolls. The little girls who are going to get these dolls are migrants(移民). Most of them have traveled with their family for months to get to the US border, usually escaping from poor economies and dangerous situations at home in Central or South America.
“It’s hard to imagine what these children have gone through. I think for a child to have a toy, especially in these conditions, is really important. It’s something that cap comfort them, something that they can hold close. ”While toys will never take away the hurt they experienced or the hardships they still face, Lakin said the dolls do make a difference. It’s more than just a Barbie doll; at least for a moment, these young migrants can be simply children again. “I think that is particularly important to them, ”Lakin said.
“I get a lot out of it, too. I personally like to hand them out because I love being able to say, I made this for you. ‘and the smiles and the happiness they give me; it’s moments like that that make it all worthwhile. ”
Lakin has given away nearly 20 Barbies so far and hopes people will donate more, especially black and brown Barbies that look more like the girls who will get them. “I want to give them dolls that look more like them. ”
Similar to the message seen in the wildly popular “Barbie” movie, Lakin wants to make sure these dolls don’t create stereotypes(固化印象)on these girls but instead remind them of their worth and the power of their individuality.

Any dog owner can tell you that there’s no love like the one a pup gives you. Dogs love humans — and it turns out, that connection can actually help us train dog robots, too.
In a study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers surveyed 153 dog owners about the types of behaviors they like to see in their pups. Owners responded with a variety of different types of actions they preferred. The researchers identified seven types of behaviors people love to see in their dogs. These behaviors could be programmed into robotic dogs to help make them friendlier, which would be beneficial in a number of ways.
The robot-pups can help provide the same mental health benefits for people as an actual dog while avoiding issues like being bitten or having to take the dog on annoying walks every now and again. In fact, there’s already some research that suggests the robot pets might help enrich the lives of the elderly and dementia (痴呆) patients by giving them companions to socialize with — improving cognition (认知) and even physical health in some cases.
But there’s a big issue researchers need to overcome: It might not actually be ethical (道德的) to make robot-pups. After all, is it right to potentially mislead an elderly patient with dementia into thinking that they’re interacting with a dog instead of a robot The study even quotes philosopher Robert Sparrow who wrote about the issue of robot companions two decades ago. “For an individual to benefit significantly from ownership of a robot pet, they must systematically cheat themselves about the real nature of their relation with the animal,” Sparrow wrote in 2002, “and the design and production of these robots is unethical in some way as it encourages this trick.”
But even so, the potential for benefit is still there — enriching people’s life. So one day in the near future we might see robot-pups at the dog park or walking on the sidewalk alongside their owners.
8. What did the researchers’ study focus on
A. Training and getting on with dogs. B. Dogs’ behaviors preferred by people.
C. Different behaviors among dogs. D. People’s attitudes towards dogs.
9. Why are dementia patients mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To show the benefits of robot-pups to people.
B. To stress the significance of researching on robot-pups.
C. To indicate the popularity of robot-pups among patients.
D. To explain the impact robot-pups have on solving social issues.
10. What is Robert Sparrow’s biggest concern about a robot pet
A. Its functions are limited. B. It may go against honesty.
C. It will cost too much money. D. It may have quality problems.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to the future of robot-pets
A. Doubtful. B. Encouraged. C. Indifferent. D. Confident.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有研究在调查人们喜爱狗的行为，以帮助训练机器人宠物，同时有研究表明这些机器人宠物的确可以有益于人们的心理健康，此外文章也指出了设计和生产机器人宠物涉及到的伦理道德的问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers surveyed 153 dog owners about the types of behaviors they like to see in their pups. (在周三发表在《公共科学图书馆期刊》上的一项研究中，研究人员调查了153名狗主人，了解他们希望自己的狗狗表现出什么样的行为)”可知，该项研究关注的是受到人们喜爱的狗的行为。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The robot-pups can help provide the same mental health benefits for people as an actual dog while avoiding issues like being bitten or having to take the dog on annoying walks every now and again. In fact, there’s already some research that suggests the robot pets might help enrich the lives of the elderly and dementia (痴呆) patients by giving them companions to socialize with — improving cognition (认知) and even physical health in some cases. (这些机器狗狗可以为人们提供与真正的狗狗一样的心理健康益处，同时避免被咬伤或不得不时不时地带着狗狗散步等烦人的问题。事实上，已经有一些研究表明，机器人宠物可以为老年人和痴呆症患者提供社交伙伴，从而丰富他们的生活——在某些情况下，它们可以提高认知能力，甚至身体健康)”可知，本段首先提到机器狗狗拥有的优势，有益于心理健康，以及避免一些问题，再举出一项有关老年人和痴呆症患者的研究，说明机器人宠物真的帮助到了他们。由此可知，提到痴呆症患者是为了展示机器狗给人们带来的好处。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““For an individual to benefit significantly from ownership of a robot pet, they must systematically cheat themselves about the real nature of their relation with the animal,” Sparrow wrote in 2002, “and the design and production of these robots is unethical in some way as it encourages this trick.” (Sparrow在2002年写道：“如果一个人想从拥有机器人宠物中获得巨大的好处，他们必须有系统地欺骗自己，让自己不知道他们与动物的真正关系。从某种程度上说，这些机器人的设计和生产是不道德的，因为它鼓励了这种欺骗。”)”可知，Sparrow认为人从机器人宠物身上获得好处是建立在自我欺骗的基础上的，设计和生产这些机器人实际上是鼓励这种欺骗。由此可知，他对机器人宠物最大的担忧是它可能违背了诚实的原则。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But even so, the potential for benefit is still there — enriching people’s life. So one day in the near future we might see robot-pups at the dog park or walking on the sidewalk alongside their owners. (但即便如此，潜在的好处仍然存在——丰富人们的生活。所以在不久的将来的某一天，我们可能会在狗公园里看到机器狗狗，或者在人行道上和它们的主人一起走)”可知，作者认为机器人宠物的潜在好处不可否认，将来我们有可能真的拥有它们。因此，作者对它们的未来是充满信心的。故选D项。
D
Culdesac, which describes itself as “the first car-free neighborhood in the Us”, admitted its first 36 residents in Tempe, Arizona, US, earlier this year. The $170 million neighborhood, with its white buildings and narrow walkways, is expected to hold around 1, 000 people when the full 760 units are completed by 2025. Similar projects in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Houston, Texas, are also underway.
In a country as car-dependent as the US, Culdesac is no lack of foresight (远见). Although some densely populated (人口密集的) coastal Us cities like Boston and New York City are walkable and have ample public transportation options like taxis, buses and light rails, the majority of Americans are entirely dependent on cars to get around.
This dependence on cars doesn’t come cheap, unfortunately. In a 2023 study, the American Automobile Association said that it costs an average of about 89,000 yuan per year to own and maintain a car in the US.
So, what is stopping Americans from abandoning cars and accepting relatively cheaper choices like e-bikes In a word, unsafe roads that prioritize cars over people. According to a 2018 report by WHO, the US traffic accident death rate is about 50 percent more than similar nations in Western Europe. At the same time, walkers and cyclists in the US are often blamed for being hit by drivers rather than the other way around.
Still, there’s hope. By choosing a new car-free way of living, US projects like Culdesac can provide another way of living that’s both healthier and more affordable and, in turn, influence others to live a better way as well. As Vanessa, a resident of Culdesac, said, “For some, cars equal freedom, but for me, it’s limitation, Freedom is being able to just simply walk out and access places. “
12. What can we learn about Culdesac from the text
A. It is expected to hold only 1, 000 people, B. It is the world’s largest car-free neighborhood,
C. It will be finished by the end of this year. D. It is thought to be forward-thinking.
13. What does the underlined word ”ample“ in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Enough. B. Possible. C. Similar. D. Special.
14. Why are Americans unwilling to give up cars, according to the text
A. Maintaining a car is cheap. B. E-bikes are not widely available.
C. Road conditions are unsafe. D. Drivers are respected by others.
15. What influence can car-free projects like Culdesac have on American society
A. Limiting freedom of movement. B. Making local residents feel safer.
C. Encouraging people to explore their communities. D. Promoting a cheaper and healthier way of living.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。Culdesac自称为“美国第一个无车社区”，今年早些时候，该社区在美国亚利桑那州坦佩市接纳了首批36名居民。类似的项目在北卡罗来纳州的夏洛特和德克萨斯州的休斯顿也在进行中。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a country as car-dependent as the US, Culdesac is no lack of foresight (远见).(在美国这样一个依赖汽车的国家，Culdesac并不缺乏远见)”可知，Culdesac被认为是前瞻性的。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“public transportation options like taxis, buses and light rails”可知，后文列举了出租车、公共汽车和轻轨这些公共交通，说明美国沿海城市有足够的公共交通选择，故划线词意思是“足够的”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So, what is stopping Americans from abandoning cars and accepting relatively cheaper choices like e-bikes In a word, unsafe roads that prioritize cars over people.(那么，是什么阻止了美国人放弃汽车，转而接受电动自行车等相对便宜的选择呢？总而言之，不安全的道路优先考虑汽车而不是人)”可知，美国人不愿意放弃汽车是因为道路状况不安全。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“By choosing a new car-free way of living, US projects like Culdesac can provide another way of living that’s both healthier and more affordable and, in turn, influence others to live a better way as well.(通过选择一种新的无车生活方式，像Culdesac这样的美国项目可以提供另一种更健康、更实惠的生活方式，进而影响其他人也以更好的方式生活)”可知，像Culdesac这样的无车项目会让美国社会提倡更便宜、更健康的生活方式。故选D。

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We love all types of hugs, from the one-armed hug to full bear hugs. Open up your heart and your arms on January 21 for National Hugging Day! As you might guess, this day is a yearly event. ______16______
Here are some facts about the big day National Hugging Day was created in 1986 by Kevin Zaborney. Zabomey chose January 21 because it was the time between the winter holiday season and the new year’s birthday, which he noticed was a time people tended to feel in low spirits. He also felt that Americans were too embarrassed to show love in public. _____17_____ However, he never actually thought it would become popular.
_______18_______ It means “to comfort” in the Old Norse language, first appearing about 450 years ago. However, the history of hugging itself is a bit more uncertain, What is known is that it is only very recently(within the past 50 years)that we have seen a full acceptance of hugging in public, separating it from other distinguished displays of love such as kissing. The widespread adoption of hugging over the recent years has been debated for some reasons. ______19______
Nowadays, we don’t even think about the fact that hugging in public was considered improper. _____20_____ We also do that to say goodbye, to congratulate someone, to comfort someone, or to show support. We usually hug before sports teams begin their match, and hug to show a general sign of affection between close relationships.
A. It’s not practiced enough these days!
B. We hug to greet friends and family
C. “Hug” is believed to come from ”hugga“
D. A hug is one of the most natural gestures,
E. One is that some once thought it wasn’t so formal
F He hoped National Hugging Day would change that.
G. It encourages us to express love in the simplest way.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. C 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拥抱的相关知识以及创立全国拥抱日的背景知识。
【16题详解】
根据上文“We love all types of hugs, from the one-armed hug to full bear hugs. Open up your heart and your arms on January 21 for National Hugging Day! As you might guess, this day is a yearly event.(我们喜欢各种形式的拥抱，从单臂拥抱到完全的熊抱。在1月21日的全国拥抱日，敞开你的心扉和双臂吧！你可能猜到了，这一天是一年一度的活动)”可知，上文提到了全国拥抱日，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文说明节日目的。故G选项“它鼓励我们用最简单的方式表达爱”符合语境，故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Here are some facts about the big day National Hugging Day was created in 1986 by Kevin Zaborney. Zabomey chose January 21 because it was the time between the winter holiday season and the new year’s birthday, which he noticed was a time people tended to feel in low spirits. He also felt that Americans were too embarrassed to show love in public.(1986年，Kevin Zaborney创立了“全国拥抱日”。Zaborney选择1月21日是因为这一天是冬季假期和新年生日之间的时间，他注意到这一天人们往往情绪低落。他还觉得美国人太羞于在公共场合示爱)”可知，上文说明了Kevin Zaborney觉得美国人太羞于在公共场合示爱，故本句承接上文，说明他对此采取的措施是想通过全国拥抱日来改变这一点。故F选项“他希望全国拥抱日能改变这一点”符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据后文“It means “to comfort” in the Old Norse language, first appearing about 450 years ago. However, the history of hugging itself is a bit more uncertain, What is known is that it is only very recently(within the past 50 years)that we have seen a full acceptance of hugging in public, separating it from other distinguished displays of love such as kissing.(它在古斯堪的纳维亚语中的意思是“安慰”，大约450年前首次出现。然而，拥抱本身的历史有点不确定。我们所知道的是，直到最近（在过去的50年里），我们才看到拥抱在公共场合被完全接受，把它与其他著名的爱的表现方式（如接吻）分开)”可知，本段主要在说明hug一词的起源。故C选项“‘Hug’被认为来自‘hugga’”符合语境，故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“The widespread adoption of hugging over the recent years has been debated for some reasons.(近年来，由于一些原因，拥抱的广泛采用一直存在争议)”可知，上文提到了拥抱的广泛采用一直存在争议，本句为本段最后一句，故说明存在争议的原因。故E选项“一个原因是有些人曾经认为它不那么正式”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Nowadays, we don’t even think about the fact that hugging in public was considered improper.(如今，我们甚至不会想到在公共场合拥抱被认为是不合适的)”以及后文“We also do that to say goodbye, to congratulate someone, to comfort someone, or to show support. We usually hug before sports teams begin their match, and hug to show a general sign of affection between close relationships.(我们也这样做，说再见，祝贺某人，安慰某人，或表示支持。我们通常在运动队比赛开始前拥抱，在亲密的关系中，拥抱通常是表达感情的一种方式)”可知，后文提到了在亲密的关系中，拥抱通常是表达感情的一种方式，故本句说明拥抱在亲密关系中的具体体现。故B选项“我们拥抱朋友和家人”符合语境，故选B。

Mrs. Murphy had been working as a cafeteria (自助餐厅) employee at Cypress Valley School for four years and there was no job in the whole world that she loved more than that. In fact, Mrs. Murphy liked to stay with these cute children. The woman’s face lit up every time she served lunch to the little children and saw their smiles.
One day after serving the kids food, Mrs. Murphy was talking to her co-worker when she noticed something strange. She saw a little girl at the far end of the cafeteria who finished only half of her lunch and filled the rest in a lunch box. “Is she not feeling well Why didn’t she eat ” Mrs. Murphy was puzzled as the girl stood up and walked away.
The next day, when the girl came to the cafeteria, the same thing happened. She divided the food into two equal parts, placed one half in her lunch box, and ate only the other half. Mrs. Murphy became concerned when this continued for several days, so she decided to follow her one day.
She saw that the young girl went in the opposite direction of the school after class, which led to a deserted neighborhood. “Why would she go there after school ” The elderly woman wondered as she followed the girl, taking care not to be noticed.
After a couple of minutes, she noticed the girl was walking into an alley (胡同) where a small boy sat on the ground. The girl smiled and approached the boy. “Claire! I’m here!” The boy looked up at the girl and smiled warmly. “I’ve got some food for you, David!” She said, sitting on her knees and opening her backpack. The boy enjoyed the other half of meal. The fine scene was too wonderful to be ruined. And Mrs. Murphy firmly believed that she had to do something to help them.

Looking at Claire’s nervous face, she comforted, “What you’re doing is right, Claire. Helping someone in need is a good thing. But there might be a better way to help him.” Then she turned to the boy and said gently, “Don’t worry. I’m here to help. Let’s go back to the cafeteria and I’ll make sure that both of you have enough to eat.” She took their hands and led them back to the school.

Barbara Lakin, a former fashion designer living in New York, spends hundreds of hours sewing (缝纫)unique, well-designed dress for old Barbies she buys or donated dolls. The little girls who are going to get these dolls are migrants(移民). Most of them have traveled with their family for months to get to the US border, usually escaping from poor economies and dangerous situations at home in Central or South America.
“It’s hard to imagine what these children have gone through. I think for a child to have a toy, especially in these conditions, is really important. It’s something that cap comfort them, something that they can hold close. ”While toys will never take away the hurt they experienced or the hardships they still face, Lakin said the dolls do make a difference. It’s more than just a Barbie doll; at least for a moment, these young migrants can be simply children again. “I think that is particularly important to them, ”Lakin said.
“I get a lot out of it, too. I personally like to hand them out because I love being able to say, I made this for you. ‘and the smiles and the happiness they give me; it’s moments like that that make it all worthwhile. ”
Lakin has given away nearly 20 Barbies so far and hopes people will donate more, especially black and brown Barbies that look more like the girls who will get them. “I want to give them dolls that look more like them. ”
Similar to the message seen in the wildly popular “Barbie” movie, Lakin wants to make sure these dolls don’t create stereotypes(固化印象)on these girls but instead remind them of their worth and the power of their individuality.
4. What is the feature of the Barbies given by Lakin
A. They are intended for native girls. B. They are partly donations from others.
C. They are designed by migrants. D. They are less attractive in appearance.
5. What does Lakin think of giving away the Barbies
A. It unites the migrant girls. B. It is well worth praising.
C. It is win-win behavior. D. It brings her much comfort.
6. Which of the following best describes Lakin
A. Patient. B. Determined. C. Grateful. D. Caring.
7. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Donated dolls help better migrants’ poor conditions.
B. Barbies play a great role in improving girls’ self-worth.
C. Lakin comforts migrant girls by giving special old Barbies.
D. Lakin sews well-designed Barbies to raise money for black girls.

Any dog owner can tell you that there’s no love like the one a pup gives you. Dogs love humans — and it turns out, that connection can actually help us train dog robots, too.
In a study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers surveyed 153 dog owners about the types of behaviors they like to see in their pups. Owners responded with a variety of different types of actions they preferred. The researchers identified seven types of behaviors people love to see in their dogs. These behaviors could be programmed into robotic dogs to help make them friendlier, which would be beneficial in a number of ways.
The robot-pups can help provide the same mental health benefits for people as an actual dog while avoiding issues like being bitten or having to take the dog on annoying walks every now and again. In fact, there’s already some research that suggests the robot pets might help enrich the lives of the elderly and dementia (痴呆) patients by giving them companions to socialize with — improving cognition (认知) and even physical health in some cases.
But there’s a big issue researchers need to overcome: It might not actually be ethical (道德的) to make robot-pups. After all, is it right to potentially mislead an elderly patient with dementia into thinking that they’re interacting with a dog instead of a robot The study even quotes philosopher Robert Sparrow who wrote about the issue of robot companions two decades ago. “For an individual to benefit significantly from ownership of a robot pet, they must systematically cheat themselves about the real nature of their relation with the animal,” Sparrow wrote in 2002, “and the design and production of these robots is unethical in some way as it encourages this trick.”
But even so, the potential for benefit is still there — enriching people’s life. So one day in the near future we might see robot-pups at the dog park or walking on the sidewalk alongside their owners.
8. What did the researchers’ study focus on
A. Training and getting on with dogs. B. Dogs’ behaviors preferred by people.
C. Different behaviors among dogs. D. People’s attitudes towards dogs.
9. Why are dementia patients mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To show the benefits of robot-pups to people.
B. To stress the significance of researching on robot-pups.
C. To indicate the popularity of robot-pups among patients.
D. To explain the impact robot-pups have on solving social issues.
10. What is Robert Sparrow’s biggest concern about a robot pet
A. Its functions are limited. B. It may go against honesty.
C It will cost too much money. D. It may have quality problems.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to the future of robot-pets
A. Doubtful. B. Encouraged. C. Indifferent. D. Confident.
D
Culdesac, which describes itself as “the first car-free neighborhood in the Us”, admitted its first 36 residents in Tempe, Arizona, US, earlier this year. The $170 million neighborhood, with its white buildings and narrow walkways, is expected to hold around 1, 000 people when the full 760 units are completed by 2025. Similar projects in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Houston, Texas, are also underway.
In a country as car-dependent as the US, Culdesac is no lack of foresight (远见). Although some densely populated (人口密集的) coastal Us cities like Boston and New York City are walkable and have ample public transportation options like taxis, buses and light rails, the majority of Americans are entirely dependent on cars to get around.
This dependence on cars doesn’t come cheap, unfortunately. In a 2023 study, the American Automobile Association said that it costs an average of about 89,000 yuan per year to own and maintain a car in the US.
So, what is stopping Americans from abandoning cars and accepting relatively cheaper choices like e-bikes In a word, unsafe roads that prioritize cars over people. According to a 2018 report by WHO, the US traffic accident death rate is about 50 percent more than similar nations in Western Europe. At the same time, walkers and cyclists in the US are often blamed for being hit by drivers rather than the other way around.
Still, there’s hope. By choosing a new car-free way of living, US projects like Culdesac can provide another way of living that’s both healthier and more affordable and, in turn, influence others to live a better way as well. As Vanessa, a resident of Culdesac, said, “For some, cars equal freedom, but for me, it’s limitation, Freedom is being able to just simply walk out and access places. “
12. What can we learn about Culdesac from the text
A. It is expected to hold only 1, 000 people, B. It is the world’s largest car-free neighborhood,
C. It will be finished by the end of this year. D. It is thought to be forward-thinking.
13. What does the underlined word ”ample“ in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Enough. B. Possible. C. Similar. D. Special.
14. Why are Americans unwilling to give up cars, according to the text
A. Maintaining a car is cheap. B. E-bikes are not widely available.
C. Road conditions are unsafe. D. Drivers are respected by others.
15. What influence can car-free projects like Culdesac have on American society
A. Limiting freedom of movement. B. Making local residents feel safer.
C. Encouraging people to explore their communities. D. Promoting a cheaper and healthier way of living.

Mrs. Murphy had been working as a cafeteria (自助餐厅) employee at Cypress Valley School for four years and there was no job in the whole world that she loved more than that. In fact, Mrs. Murphy liked to stay with these cute children. The woman’s face lit up every time she served lunch to the little children and saw their smiles.
One day after serving the kids food, Mrs. Murphy was talking to her co-worker when she noticed something strange. She saw a little girl at the far end of the cafeteria who finished only half of her lunch and filled the rest in a lunch box. “Is she not feeling well Why didn’t she eat ” Mrs. Murphy was puzzled as the girl stood up and walked away.
The next day, when the girl came to the cafeteria, the same thing happened. She divided the food into two equal parts, placed one half in her lunch box, and ate only the other half. Mrs. Murphy became concerned when this continued for several days, so she decided to follow her one day.
She saw that the young girl went in the opposite direction of the school after class, which led to a deserted neighborhood. “Why would she go there after school ” The elderly woman wondered as she followed the girl, taking care not to be noticed.
After a couple of minutes, she noticed the girl was walking into an alley (胡同) where a small boy sat on the ground. The girl smiled and approached the boy. “Claire! I’m here!” The boy looked up at the girl and smiled warmly. “I’ve got some food for you, David!” She said, sitting on her knees and opening her backpack. The boy enjoyed the other half of meal. The fine scene was too wonderful to be ruined. And Mrs. Murphy firmly believed that she had to do something to help them.
