Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting (编织), who turn their love for crafting (精心制作) into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every craft. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they’ve crafted thousands of items in support of the important things.
Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was inspired to have the group knit hats for infant (幼儿) patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional (情感的) impact these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.
Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children’s Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.
Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to provide the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.
4．What do we know about the hats from paragraph 2
A. They centre on spiritual comfort. B. They have holiday food subjects.
C. They are knitted by the caregivers. D. They are worn on child patients’ birthdays.
5．Why do the caregivers wear the hats first

D. What the hats can be matched with.
7．Which of the following can best describe the members of Knit Wits
A. Unsuccessful. B. Warm-hearted. C. Impractical. D. Dishonest.
Soap (肥皂) might seem like a reasonable way to avoid mosquito (蚊子) bites on the basis that if mosquitoes can’t smell you, they can’t bite you. However, a recent study has found that rather than protecting you, certain soaps might actually make you more attractive to mosquitoes.
In the study, conducted at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, four volunteers were asked to wear a sleeve before and after washing with four different brands of soap. The researchers then watched female (雌性的) mosquitoes—as only females feed on blood—landing on the fabric sample to show their preference. They found that some people washing with some brands of soap, increased their attractiveness to mosquitoes, while washing with other brands of soap tended to repel (驱除) mosquitoes. The repellent effect of some soap may be because of its coconut smell, as coconut oil is known to act as a natural mosquito repellent.
The reason behind this attraction is believed to be related to mosquitoes’ sugar intake. When mosquitoes are not feeding on blood, they add their diet with plant juice or sweet water from flowers. “The fact we are taking those flowery and fruity smells and putting them on our bodies means that now the same object smells like a flower and a person at the same time,” said Clément Vinauger, who led the study. “It would be like waking up and smelling the smell of coffee and bread. Very attractive.”
Interestingly, the effects of the soap varied among people, possibly because of the interaction between the soap and each person’s unique body smell. “It’s remarkable that the same person that is extremely attractive to mosquitoes when he is unwashed, but he becomes even more attractive to mosquitoes with one soap, and then become repellent to mosquitoes with another soap,” said Vinauger. Further research is needed to better understand the interaction between different soap and body smell, as well as to develop more effective mosquito repellents.
8．What has the study found
A. Soap attracts many mosquitoes.
B. Female mosquitoes feed on something except blood.
C. Some plants drive away mosquitoes.
D. Not all soap can stop mosquito bites.
9．How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By observing the mosquitoes’ behaviour.
B. By exploring the history of mosquitoes.
C. By interviewing a lot of volunteers.
D. By examining old studies.
10．Why did Vinauger mention coffee and bread
A. To stress the importance of breakfast.
B. To discuss their probable health benefits.
C. To compare the difference of objects used in the study.
D. To prove the attractiveness of some soap to mosquitoes.
11．In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Health. B. Chemistry. C. Sports. D. Tour.
The design theory behind a pair of tiny robots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, as well as search-and-rescue (营救) tasks. Modeled after a water strider (水黾), an insect, the two robots each weigh in at 8 and 55 milligrams, and may mark the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots in the world, according to Washington State University (WSU).
Developed by a team of WSU researchers, the robots’ tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can“remember”their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of bulky moving parts.
Both the robots’ motors are each made up of two shape memory alloys, allowing them to move their fins as fast as 40 times a second while also lifting over 150 times their weight. “They’re very technologically sound. The development of the very lightweight robots opens up new possibilities in micro-robotics,” said Conor Trygstad, a material engineering PhD student and study lead author.
“Although the robots are impressive when compared to other robots, the pair ‘still fall behind their biological relatives’,” Trygstad said. They can currently move at a speed of about six millimeters a second; a water strider, by comparison, speeds along at about a meter per second. For now, the robots also require wired (连线的) power sources, thus seriously preventing any real-world applications for the moment.
Going forward, however, the team plans to copy other small insect species while also creating a new water strider robot which can move at a higher speed. Depending on using small batteries could also greatly increase the robots’ areas of use. If the breakthrough designs continue improving, similar micro-robots could one day be employed to monitor hard-to-reach or dangerous environments.
12．What is the inspiration for the two robots
A. A special monitor. B. An insect species.
C. The lightest micro-robot. D. A search-and-rescue task.
13．What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2
A. Cheap. B. Cool. C. Huge. D. Fast.
14．What might Lonor Trygstad agree with
A. Both robots can identify sound.
B. Both robots need wireless power sources.
C. Both robots work better than water striders.
D. Both robots have weaknesses besides strengths.
15．What is the best title for the text
A. Robots Are Saving Environment B. Shape Memory Alloys Are The Key
C. Human Beings Learn From Animals D. Two Micro-robots Can Play A Big Part
二、七选五

六、读后续写
34．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。
In a small town, there lived a young elementary school student named Timmy, whose lateness had become his worst trait (特点) in his school.
Every school morning, he struggled to get out of bed, often finding himself rushing through breakfast and forgetting important things like his homework or lunchbox. Meanwhile, his classmates would glance at the empty seat beside them, exchanging knowing looks as the clock ticked pa st the start of the class. When Timmy finally arrived, he would often find himself the center of attention, and his cheeks red with embarrassment as he apologised. Deep down, Timmy felt a growing sense of discomfort and shame about his habitual lateness. His teachers and classmates were concerned about the effect of his constant lateness on his studies.
One day, Timmy’s class teacher, Mrs. Johnson, decided to solve the issue. She approached Timmy with a gentle smile, “Timmy, can we talk about something important ”
Timmy looked up and replied, a bit nervous, “Sure, Mrs. Johnson.”
She crouched (蹲下) down to his level, speaking softly but seriously and sincerely,“I’ve noticed you’ve been late for class quite often. Do you know being on time is very important ”
Timmy lowered his head and said, “Yes, but...”
Mrs. Johnson continued, “Being on time helps you not miss out on your lessons. It’s also about respect for your classmates and me. When you’re late, it can disrupt (打乱) the whole class. We all miss you when you’re not here on time.”
Timmy nodded and said, a look of understanding on his face, “I didn’t realize it was affecting everyone. I’ll try to be better, Mrs. Johnson. But I have difficulty waking up and getting out of bed. Every morning when my alarm clock sounded, I hit the snooze (小睡) button, just 10 more minutes. Then 10 minutes later, another 10 minutes. That’s why I am always late for school.”
“Don’t worry. We’re all here to help you,” Mrs. Johnson said, offering a comforting smile.
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。
After the talk, Mrs. Johnson, along with Timmy’s classmates, came up with a plan to help him.

34．答案：
After the talk, Mrs. Johnson, along with Timmy’s classmates, came up with a plan to help him. They decided to create a schedule where a different classmate would call Timmy each morning to make sure he was awake. Additionally, they organized a morning study group that met half an hour before class started, giving Timmy an extra reason to arrive early. Mrs. Johnson also suggested a reward system: For every week Timmy was on time, he would earn a star, and a certain number of stars would earn him a small prize. They stuck to the plan day in and day out.
Soon Timmy’s change was obvious. The morning calls from his classmates not only woke him up but also made him feel cared for and part of a community. The routine helped him get more organized, and slowly he was no longer late. His classmates cheered for every star he earned, and Mrs. Johnson’s encouragement motivated him further. Timmy’s self-esteem grew as he no longer felt the embarrassment of being late. This newfound sense of responsibility and community support transformed not just his morning routine but his overall attitude towards school and learning.

Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting (编织), who turn their love for crafting (精心制作) into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every craft. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they’ve crafted thousands of items in support of the important things.
Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was inspired to have the group knit hats for infant (幼儿) patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional (情感的) impact these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.
Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children’s Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.
Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to provide the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.
4．What do we know about the hats from paragraph 2
A. They centre on spiritual comfort. B. They have holiday food subjects.
C. They are knitted by the caregivers. D. They are worn on child patients’ birthdays.
5．Why do the caregivers wear the hats first

B. To see off the recovered patients.
C. To relax the infants for treatments.
D. To welcome the arrival of various holidays.
6．What is that last paragraph mainly about
A. Why some holiday celebrations are held.
B. Why some special photos are important.
C. What the hats can be used as on holidays.
D. What the hats can be matched with.
7．Which of the following can best describe the members of Knit Wits
A. Unsuccessful. B. Warm-hearted. C. Impractical. D. Dishonest.
Soap (肥皂) might seem like a reasonable way to avoid mosquito (蚊子) bites on the basis that if mosquitoes can’t smell you, they can’t bite you. However, a recent study has found that rather than protecting you, certain soaps might actually make you more attractive to mosquitoes.
In the study, conducted at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, four volunteers were asked to wear a sleeve before and after washing with four different brands of soap. The researchers then watched female (雌性的) mosquitoes—as only females feed on blood—landing on the fabric sample to show their preference. They found that some people washing with some brands of soap, increased their attractiveness to mosquitoes, while washing with other brands of soap tended to repel (驱除) mosquitoes. The repellent effect of some soap may be because of its coconut smell, as coconut oil is known to act as a natural mosquito repellent.
The reason behind this attraction is believed to be related to mosquitoes’ sugar intake. When mosquitoes are not feeding on blood, they add their diet with plant juice or sweet water from flowers. “The fact we are taking those flowery and fruity smells and putting them on our bodies means that now the same object smells like a flower and a person at the same time,” said Clément Vinauger, who led the study. “It would be like waking up and smelling the smell of coffee and bread. Very attractive.”
Interestingly, the effects of the soap varied among people, possibly because of the interaction between the soap and each person’s unique body smell. “It’s remarkable that the same person that is extremely attractive to mosquitoes when he is unwashed, but he becomes even more attractive to mosquitoes with one soap, and then become repellent to mosquitoes with another soap,” said Vinauger. Further research is needed to better understand the interaction between different soap and body smell, as well as to develop more effective mosquito repellents.
8．What has the study found
A. Soap attracts many mosquitoes.
B. Female mosquitoes feed on something except blood.
C. Some plants drive away mosquitoes.
D. Not all soap can stop mosquito bites.
9．How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By observing the mosquitoes’ behaviour.
B. By exploring the history of mosquitoes.
C. By interviewing a lot of volunteers.
D. By examining old studies.
10．Why did Vinauger mention coffee and bread
A. To stress the importance of breakfast.
B. To discuss their probable health benefits.
C. To compare the difference of objects used in the study.
D. To prove the attractiveness of some soap to mosquitoes.
11．In which section of a newspaper may the text appear
A. Health. B. Chemistry. C. Sports. D. Tour.
The design theory behind a pair of tiny robots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, as well as search-and-rescue (营救) tasks. Modeled after a water strider (水黾), an insect, the two robots each weigh in at 8 and 55 milligrams, and may mark the smallest, lightest, and fastest fully functional micro-robots in the world, according to Washington State University (WSU).
Developed by a team of WSU researchers, the robots’ tininess largely relies on a material known as a shape memory alloy (合金). Although shape memory alloys change form when heated, they can“remember”their original shapes and return to them after cooling. Because of this, the two micro-robots do not require standard motors, and they use light and small ones instead of bulky moving parts.
Both the robots’ motors are each made up of two shape memory alloys, allowing them to move their fins as fast as 40 times a second while also lifting over 150 times their weight. “They’re very technologically sound. The development of the very lightweight robots opens up new possibilities in micro-robotics,” said Conor Trygstad, a material engineering PhD student and study lead author.
“Although the robots are impressive when compared to other robots, the pair ‘still fall behind their biological relatives’,” Trygstad said. They can currently move at a speed of about six millimeters a second; a water strider, by comparison, speeds along at about a meter per second. For now, the robots also require wired (连线的) power sources, thus seriously preventing any real-world applications for the moment.
Going forward, however, the team plans to copy other small insect species while also creating a new water strider robot which can move at a higher speed. Depending on using small batteries could also greatly increase the robots’ areas of use. If the breakthrough designs continue improving, similar micro-robots could one day be employed to monitor hard-to-reach or dangerous environments.
12．What is the inspiration for the two robots
A. A special monitor. B. An insect species.
C. The lightest micro-robot. D. A search-and-rescue task.
13．What does the underlined word “bulky” mean in paragraph 2
A. Cheap. B. Cool. C. Huge. D. Fast.
14．What might Lonor Trygstad agree with
A. Both robots can identify sound.
B. Both robots need wireless power sources.
C. Both robots work better than water striders.
D. Both robots have weaknesses besides strengths.
15．What is the best title for the text
A. Robots Are Saving Environment B. Shape Memory Alloys Are The Key
C. Human Beings Learn From Animals D. Two Micro-robots Can Play A Big Part

34．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。
In a small town, there lived a young elementary school student named Timmy, whose lateness had become his worst trait (特点) in his school.
Every school morning, he struggled to get out of bed, often finding himself rushing through breakfast and forgetting important things like his homework or lunchbox. Meanwhile, his classmates would glance at the empty seat beside them, exchanging knowing looks as the clock ticked pa st the start of the class. When Timmy finally arrived, he would often find himself the center of attention, and his cheeks red with embarrassment as he apologised. Deep down, Timmy felt a growing sense of discomfort and shame about his habitual lateness. His teachers and classmates were concerned about the effect of his constant lateness on his studies.
One day, Timmy’s class teacher, Mrs. Johnson, decided to solve the issue. She approached Timmy with a gentle smile, “Timmy, can we talk about something important ”
Timmy looked up and replied, a bit nervous, “Sure, Mrs. Johnson.”
She crouched (蹲下) down to his level, speaking softly but seriously and sincerely,“I’ve noticed you’ve been late for class quite often. Do you know being on time is very important ”
Timmy lowered his head and said, “Yes, but...”
Mrs. Johnson continued, “Being on time helps you not miss out on your lessons. It’s also about respect for your classmates and me. When you’re late, it can disrupt (打乱) the whole class. We all miss you when you’re not here on time.”
Timmy nodded and said, a look of understanding on his face, “I didn’t realize it was affecting everyone. I’ll try to be better, Mrs. Johnson. But I have difficulty waking up and getting out of bed. Every morning when my alarm clock sounded, I hit the snooze (小睡) button, just 10 more minutes. Then 10 minutes later, another 10 minutes. That’s why I am always late for school.”
“Don’t worry. We’re all here to help you,” Mrs. Johnson said, offering a comforting smile.

34．答案：
After the talk, Mrs. Johnson, along with Timmy’s classmates, came up with a plan to help him. They decided to create a schedule where a different classmate would call Timmy each morning to make sure he was awake. Additionally, they organized a morning study group that met half an hour before class started, giving Timmy an extra reason to arrive early. Mrs. Johnson also suggested a reward system: For every week Timmy was on time, he would earn a star, and a certain number of stars would earn him a small prize. They stuck to the plan day in and day out.
Soon Timmy’s change was obvious. The morning calls from his classmates not only woke him up but also made him feel cared for and part of a community. The routine helped him get more organized, and slowly he was no longer late. His classmates cheered for every star he earned, and Mrs. Johnson’s encouragement motivated him further. Timmy’s self-esteem grew as he no longer felt the embarrassment of being late. This newfound sense of responsibility and community support transformed not just his morning routine but his overall attitude towards school and learning.
