Over the past 45 years, farmer Fu Benfa has planted countless trees on barren (不毛的) mountains near Qilita village in Suizhou, Hubei province. The task would have been a challenge for an able-bodied person, let alone a person with paralysis (瘫痪).
Fu, 65, was paralyzed in an accident in January 1978. News about green development through measures such as expanding forests in the province caught his attention. He got the idea that he might be able to contribute. Fu’s parents strongly disagreed because of his poor physical condition. But he insisted. His father finally acquiesced and made him a special shovel (铁锹) and straw mat (草席).
In the winter of 1978, Fu came to a barren mountain and began the task that would occupy him for decades. He sat on the straw mat and tried to dig a hole to plant a tree in, but he failed to finish it after working all day. He didn’t give up, however, and tried various kinds of movements until he became more efficient. Every day he spent more than 12 hours on the mountain. After a month, he had successfully planted 18 trees, 13 of which survived.
Three months later, he had planted more than 300 trees, most of which survived. Over the next 30 years, Fu brought green color to five mountains around his village. With the help of local governments, a forest protection volunteer service team was set up to carefully protect and guard the green mountains.
After years of study and exploration, Fu has gained rich experience and taken advantage of technology. He has taught more than 200 nearby farmers, free of charge, to increase their incomes by planting trees. Recent health problems have slowed Fu down. He has been recovering at home since February.
“Now it is difficult for me to continue planting trees in the mountains, but I will always guard this forest,” he said. “I will never change my dream.”
4. What does the underlined word “acquiesced” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Quit. B. Agreed. C. Argued. D. Opposed.
5. What does the author intend to express in Paragraph 3
A Fu Benfa was far-sighted. B. Fu Benfa suffered little.
C. Fu Benfa was physically poor. D. Fu Benfa was strong-willed.
6. Why did Fu Benfa teach nearby farmers to plant trees
A. To better their life. B. To draw their interest.
C. To find more helpers. D. To make more progress.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Planting Trees Changed the World
B. Fu Benfa Helped Farmers in the Village
C. An Able-bodied Man Amazed the Country
D. For 45 Years, a Paralyzed Man Planted Many Trees
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了湖北农民付本发身残志坚，绿化荒山的感人事迹。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Fu’s parents strongly disagreed because of his poor physical condition. But he insisted.(由于付的身体状况不佳，他的父母强烈反对。但他坚持)”及后文“made him a special shovel (铁锹) and straw mat (草席).(给他制作了特别的铁锹和草席)”可知，他的父亲同意了，故划线词意思是“同意”。故选B。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In the winter of 1978, Fu came to a barren mountain and began the task that would occupy him for decades. He sat on the straw mat and tried to dig a hole to plant a tree in, but he failed to finish it after working all day. He didn’t give up, however, and tried various kinds of movements until he became more efficient. Every day he spent more than 12 hours on the mountain. After a month, he had successfully planted 18 trees, 13 of which survived.(1978年冬天，付来到一座荒山，开始了他几十年的工作。他坐在草席上，想挖个洞种棵树，但工作了一天，还是没能把它挖完。然而，他并没有放弃，他尝试了各种各样的动作，直到他变得更有效率。每天他都要在山上度过12个小时以上。一个月后，他成功地种下了18棵树，其中13棵存活了下来)”可推知，本段主要表达的是付本发意志坚强。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“He has taught more than 200 nearby farmers, free of charge, to increase their incomes by planting trees.(他免费教了200多名附近的农民通过种树来增加收入)”可知，他教附近农民植树是为了改善他们的生活。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the past 45 years, farmer Fu Benfa has planted countless trees on barren (不毛的) mountains near Qilita village in Suizhou, Hubei province. The task would have been a challenge for an able-bodied person, let alone a person with paralysis (瘫痪).(在过去的45年里，湖北省随州市七里塔村附近的贫瘠山上，农民付本发种植了无数棵树。这项任务对一个健全的人来说都是一个挑战，更不用说瘫痪的人了)”可知，文章主要讲述了身残志坚的付本发45年来坚持植树，为荒山秃岭披上绿装的故事。由此可知，D选项“45年来，一个瘫痪的人种了很多树”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
Combining a vertical (竖的，直立的) farm and office space into a single 51-storey idea out of Chinese tales, an Italian architect is completing the Shenzhen skyline with a shocking farmscraper (农场摩天楼).
Jian Mu Tower was designed for a leading Chinese supermarket to be a place where renter can grow, sell, buy, or consume produce in the same place they work.
Lying in the south Chinese city of Shenzhen, the Turin-based Carlo Ratti Associati Company has showed plans to build a 650-foot tower in which 100,000 square feet of the glass outside (外墙) is used to produce food — 590,000 pounds of it per year, which would also contain around a million square feet for office space, a supermarket, gardens, and food court (美食街).
Hydroponic (水栽法的) gardening involves using nutrient-rich water rather than soil, and allows plants to be grown in tubes piled up vertically. Working with ZERO, an Italian-based company that specializes in new approaches to agriculture, Jian Mu’s farm is made full use of to produce everything from salad greens to fruits, while remaining efficient and sustainable. An AI scientist would watch most of the hydroponic systems, water and nutrients, planning planting and harvest cycles, and other matters.
“Small-scale urban farming is happening in cities all over the world — from Paris to New York to Singapore. Jian Mu Tower, however, takes it to the next level,” writes Ratti, who is also a professor at MIT. “Such approach has the potential to play a major role in the design of future cities, as it engages in one of today’s most urgent architectural challenges: How to integrate the natural world into building design.”
8. What is Jian Mu Tower intended for
A. A supermarket. B. A farm. C. A factory. D. A workplace.
9. What can renters use the outside of Jian Mu Tower for
A. Grow food. B. Exhibit clothing.
C. Take up gardening. D. Learn to manage a supermarket.
10. What do we know about ZERO
A. Its fruits are well received at home. B. It has rich experience in agriculture.
C. It mainly focuses on agriculture in Italy. D. It completely applies AI technology.
11. What is Ratti’s attitude to Jian Mu Tower
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Approving.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了建木大厦的立体农场。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Jian Mu Tower was designed for a leading Chinese supermarket.(建木大厦是为中国一家领先的超市设计的)”可知，建木大厦是为一家中国一流的超市而设计的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Lying in the south Chinese city of Shenzhen, the Turin-based Carlo Ratti Associati Company has showed plans to build a 650-foot tower in which 100,000 square feet of the glass outside (外墙) is used to produce food — 590,000 pounds of it per year, which would also contain around a million square feet for office space, a supermarket, gardens, and food court (美食街).(位于中国南方城市深圳的都灵Carlo Ratti Associati公司计划建造一座650英尺高的塔楼，其中10万平方英尺的玻璃外墙用于生产食品——每年59万磅，其中还将包含约100万平方英尺的办公空间、超市、花园和美食广场)”可知，在建木大厦外墙可以种植食物。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Working with ZERO, an Italian-based company that specializes in new approaches to agriculture.(与ZERO合作，这是一家意大利公司，专门研究农业新方法)”可推知，ZERO农业经验丰富。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Small-scale urban farming is happening in cities all over the world — from Paris to New York to Singapore. Jian Mu Tower, however, takes it to the next level(从巴黎到纽约再到新加坡，世界各地的城市都在进行小规模的城市农业。然而，建木塔将其提升到了一个新的水平)”可推知，拉蒂对建木大厦是赞许的。故选D。
D
A human-like robot has gotten a job working alongside humans at a factory for the first time.
Apollo, the autobot, has two aims, two legs and two eyes and is an average human height of 5 feet and 8 inches or 172 cm. The robot’s job is to fit boxes and containers and move them around the factory, but its designer, Apptronik, says future versions could be used to do housework around the home. While robotic machines are already used to sort grains, help doctors and police officers in training and clean the floor, Apollo is the first human-like robot to be put to work in a human job.
Apptronik said the robot was given human features such as arms and legs to help people feel more comfortable working with it. The robot only does basic tasks at the moment, but it will offer more and more features as the technology is developed.
At the moment, Apollo’s battery only lasts four hours, which means it has to do half day shifts compared to its human co-workers, who tend to work eight hours a day. Cardenas said that his company has built two Apollo robots so far and are now building four more. Apptronik plans to produce less than 100 test versions that companies can try out before it starts producing the final version in 2024.
Economists believe once robots like Apollo are mass-produced and introduced into the market, they could be used to fill jobs in aged care, manufacturing (制造业) and security.
Other companies m the race to build human-like robots include Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Samsung Electronics and Hanson Robotics. Last year, Tesla said it was planning to have thousands of human-like robots within its factories. Last year Tesla introduced its robot, Optimus, which is said to be learning to navigate (导航) on its own, sense the world around it, and pick things up on its own. Boston Dynamics introduced Atlas, considered the world’s most advanced human-like robot which has proved capable of walking, dancing, doing backflips (后空翻), and jumping.
12. What is special about Apollo
A. It can help doctors. B. It can sort grams.
C. It can do housework in people’s homes. D. It can be put to work in a human job.
13. Why does the author mention Apollo’s battery
A. It cuts down on labor costs. B. It has had complete changes.
C. It will last eight hours in the future. D. It is the robot s main weakness.
14. Which company does the world’s most advanced human-like robot belong to
A. Tesla. B. Boston Dynamics. C. Samsung Electronics. D. Hanson Robotics.
15. In which section may the text appear
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个人形机器人首次在一家工厂找到了一份能与人类协同做事的工作及其目前存在的缺点与未来的发展。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While robotic machines are already used to sort grains, help doctors and police officers in training and clean the floor, Apollo is the first human-like robot to be put to work in a human job.(虽然机器人已经被用于分拣谷物、帮助医生和警察训练以及清洁地板，但阿波罗是第一个被用于人类工作的人形机器人)”可知，阿波罗的特别之处是它能从事人类的工作。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“At the moment, Apollo’s battery only lasts four hours, which means it has to do half day shifts compared to its human co-workers, who tend to work eight hours a day.(目前，阿波罗号的电池只能维持4个小时，这意味着它必须每天轮班半天，而人类同事往往每天工作8小时)”可知，作者提到了阿波罗的电池，是因为电池是阿波罗的主要弱点。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Boston Dynamics introduced Atlas, considered the world’s most advanced human-like robot which has proved capable of walking, dancing, doing backflips (后空翻), and jumping.(波士顿动力公司推出了被认为是世界上最先进的类人机器人阿特拉斯，它已经被证明能够走路、跳舞、后空翻和跳跃)”可知，世界上最先进的人形机器人属于Boston Dynamics公司。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A human-like robot has gotten a job working alongside humans at a factory for the first time.(一个人形机器人首次在一家工厂找到了一份与人类一起工作的工作)”以及纵观全文可知，文章介绍的是世界上一个人形机器人首次在一家工厂找到了一份与人类协同做事的工作及其目前存在的不足与未来的发展。由此推知，本文应该出现在科技版块。故选C项。

第二节（满分25分）
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—篇完整的短文。
Growing up, I rarely heard people in my family say, “I love you.” We’re the kind of people made uncomfortable by expressions of love.
Recently, I took my ten-year-old daughter and fourteen-year-old son to visit the great grandma in the nursing home and on the drive there I shared stories about her with the kids. I told them how Great Grandma was bright but grew up in a time and place where women, especially women from rural Tennessee, had few opportunities.
Great Grandma was kind and generous, but I told my kids she could be competitive, too. For instance, when I was a kid, she never let me win at cards.
The Great Grandma I described, the one from my memories, is a stranger to my kids. To them, she’s a small, white-haired woman with dementia (痴呆) who eats only chicken noodle soup and can still kick their butts (屁股) at Scrabble but needs to be reminded of their names and to turn on her hearing aids. We’re all fond of the current version of Great Grandma, but visiting her in a nursing home feels foreign to me. She’s weak and dependent, and I’m surprised at the situation because she’s no longer like the version of her that I know.
On the day of our visit, Great Grandma expected company, so she opened her door as soon as we knocked, greeting us with a big smile, telling us to come in even if she wasn’t certain who we were.
She began our visit by showing us pictures of blankets she gifted to others, and proudly showed us a blanket she was working on now. After that, we took Great Grandma out for a lunch of chicken noodle soup.
At the car my son helped her into the front seat, asking gently, “Are you in ” Then he shut the door and carried her wheelchair to the trunk of the car. When we returned from lunch, perhaps inspired by her brother’s concern, my daughter offered to get Great Grandma’s walker when my son volunteered to help Great Grandma out.
Back in Great Grandma’s room, the kids began to chat with her.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: When we said goodbye to Great Grandma, both of my kids hugged her.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: To my surprise. Great Grandma was excited to receive love.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When we said goodbye to Great Grandma, both of my kids hugged her. They told her, “Love you.” To be honest, these two words caught me off-guard. We don’t say “I love you” at home often—before bed, at school drop-off, even after apologizing for a sudden quarrel. But, in Great Grandma’s room the words floated in the air, fairly brand-new. She didn’t say or hear those words quite as often as we did. I wasn’t sure how they would be received.
To my surprise, Great Grandma was excited to receive love. Dementia removed her of what once made such expressions something to be embarrassed by. She squeezed each kid. She told them she loved them. Then it was my turn. I hesitated. But then, because of the examples set by my son and my daughter, I hugged Great Grandma. And when Great Grandma hugged me, I finally told her, “I love you, too.” I felt very happy to speak my mind at last.

Over the past 45 years, farmer Fu Benfa has planted countless trees on barren (不毛的) mountains near Qilita village in Suizhou, Hubei province. The task would have been a challenge for an able-bodied person, let alone a person with paralysis (瘫痪).
Fu, 65, was paralyzed in an accident in January 1978. News about green development through measures such as expanding forests in the province caught his attention. He got the idea that he might be able to contribute. Fu’s parents strongly disagreed because of his poor physical condition. But he insisted. His father finally acquiesced and made him a special shovel (铁锹) and straw mat (草席).
In the winter of 1978, Fu came to a barren mountain and began the task that would occupy him for decades. He sat on the straw mat and tried to dig a hole to plant a tree in, but he failed to finish it after working all day. He didn’t give up, however, and tried various kinds of movements until he became more efficient. Every day he spent more than 12 hours on the mountain. After a month, he had successfully planted 18 trees, 13 of which survived.
Three months later, he had planted more than 300 trees, most of which survived. Over the next 30 years, Fu brought green color to five mountains around his village. With the help of local governments, a forest protection volunteer service team was set up to carefully protect and guard the green mountains.
After years of study and exploration, Fu has gained rich experience and taken advantage of technology. He has taught more than 200 nearby farmers, free of charge, to increase their incomes by planting trees. Recent health problems have slowed Fu down. He has been recovering at home since February.
“Now it is difficult for me to continue planting trees in the mountains, but I will always guard this forest,” he said. “I will never change my dream.”
4. What does the underlined word “acquiesced” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Quit. B. Agreed. C. Argued. D. Opposed.
5. What does the author intend to express in Paragraph 3
A. Fu Benfa was far-sighted. B. Fu Benfa suffered little.
C. Fu Benfa was physically poor. D. Fu Benfa was strong-willed.
6. Why did Fu Benfa teach nearby farmers to plant trees
A. To better their life. B. To draw their interest.
C. To find more helpers. D. To make more progress.
7 Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Planting Trees Changed the World
B. Fu Benfa Helped Farmers in the Village
C. An Able-bodied Man Amazed the Country
D. For 45 Years, a Paralyzed Man Planted Many Trees
C
Combining a vertical (竖的，直立的) farm and office space into a single 51-storey idea out of Chinese tales, an Italian architect is completing the Shenzhen skyline with a shocking farmscraper (农场摩天楼).
Jian Mu Tower was designed for a leading Chinese supermarket to be a place where renter can grow, sell, buy, or consume produce in the same place they work.
Lying in the south Chinese city of Shenzhen the Turin-based Carlo Ratti Associati Company has showed plans to build a 650-foot tower in which 100,000 square feet of the glass outside (外墙) is used to produce food — 590,000 pounds of it per year, which would also contain around a million square feet for office space, a supermarket, gardens, and food court (美食街).
Hydroponic (水栽法的) gardening involves using nutrient-rich water rather than soil, and allows plants to be grown in tubes piled up vertically. Working with ZERO, an Italian-based company that specializes in new approaches to agriculture, Jian Mu’s farm is made full use of to produce everything from salad greens to fruits, while remaining efficient and sustainable. An AI scientist would watch most of the hydroponic systems, water and nutrients, planning planting and harvest cycles, and other matters.
“Small-scale urban farming is happening in cities all over the world — from Paris to New York to Singapore. Jian Mu Tower, however, takes it to the next level,” writes Ratti, who is also a professor at MIT. “Such approach has the potential to play a major role in the design of future cities, as it engages in one of today’s most urgent architectural challenges: How to integrate the natural world into building design.”
8. What is Jian Mu Tower intended for
A. A supermarket. B. A farm. C. A factory. D. A workplace.
9. What can renters use the outside of Jian Mu Tower for
A. Grow food. B. Exhibit clothing.
C. Take up gardening. D. Learn to manage a supermarket.
10. What do we know about ZERO
A. Its fruits are well received at home. B. It has rich experience in agriculture.
C. It mainly focuses on agriculture in Italy. D. It completely applies AI technology.
11. What is Ratti’s attitude to Jian Mu Tower
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Approving.
D
A human-like robot has gotten a job working alongside humans at a factory for the first time.
Apollo, the autobot, has two aims, two legs and two eyes and is an average human height of 5 feet and 8 inches or 172 cm. The robot’s job is to fit boxes and containers and move them around the factory, but its designer, Apptronik, says future versions could be used to do housework around the home. While robotic machines are already used to sort grains, help doctors and police officers in training and clean the floor, Apollo is the first human-like robot to be put to work in a human job.
Apptronik said the robot was given human features such as arms and legs to help people feel more comfortable working with it. The robot only does basic tasks at the moment, but it will offer more and more features as the technology is developed.
At the moment, Apollo’s battery only lasts four hours, which means it has to do half day shifts compared to its human co-workers, who tend to work eight hours a day. Cardenas said that his company has built two Apollo robots so far and are now building four more. Apptronik plans to produce less than 100 test versions that companies can try out before it starts producing the final version in 2024.
Economists believe once robots like Apollo are mass-produced and introduced into the market, they could be used to fill jobs in aged care, manufacturing (制造业) and security.
Other companies m the race to build human-like robots include Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Samsung Electronics and Hanson Robotics. Last year, Tesla said it was planning to have thousands of human-like robots within its factories. Last year Tesla introduced its robot, Optimus, which is said to be learning to navigate (导航) on its own, sense the world around it, and pick things up on its own. Boston Dynamics introduced Atlas, considered the world’s most advanced human-like robot which has proved capable of walking, dancing, doing backflips (后空翻), and jumping.
12. What is special about Apollo
A. It can help doctors. B. It can sort grams.
C. It can do housework in people’s homes. D. It can be put to work in a human job.
13. Why does the author mention Apollo’s battery
A. It cuts down on labor costs. B. It has had complete changes.
C. It will last eight hours in the future. D. It is the robot s main weakness.
14. Which company does the world’s most advanced human-like robot belong to
A. Tesla. B. Boston Dynamics. C. Samsung Electronics. D. Hanson Robotics.
15. In which section may the text appear
A. Education. B. Culture. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.

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—篇完整的短文。
Growing up, I rarely heard people in my family say, “I love you.” We’re the kind of people made uncomfortable by expressions of love.
Recently, I took my ten-year-old daughter and fourteen-year-old son to visit the great grandma in the nursing home and on the drive there I shared stories about her with the kids. I told them how Great Grandma was bright but grew up in a time and place where women, especially women from rural Tennessee, had few opportunities.
Great Grandma was kind and generous, but I told my kids she could be competitive, too. For instance, when I was a kid, she never let me win at cards.
The Great Grandma I described, the one from my memories, is a stranger to my kids. To them, she’s a small, white-haired woman with dementia (痴呆) who eats only chicken noodle soup and can still kick their butts (屁股) at Scrabble but needs to be reminded of their names and to turn on her hearing aids. We’re all fond of the current version of Great Grandma, but visiting her in a nursing home feels foreign to me. She’s weak and dependent, and I’m surprised at the situation because she’s no longer like the version of her that I know.
On the day of our visit, Great Grandma expected company, so she opened her door as soon as we knocked, greeting us with a big smile, telling us to come in even if she wasn’t certain who we were.
She began our visit by showing us pictures of blankets she gifted to others, and proudly showed us a blanket she was working on now. After that, we took Great Grandma out for a lunch of chicken noodle soup.
At the car my son helped her into the front seat, asking gently, “Are you in ” Then he shut the door and carried her wheelchair to the trunk of the car. When we returned from lunch, perhaps inspired by her brother’s concern, my daughter offered to get Great Grandma’s walker when my son volunteered to help Great Grandma out.
Back in Great Grandma’s room, the kids began to chat with her.
