Last summer at a bookstore,my son Henry was fascinated by the cover of the first novel from Peter Brown's middle-grade trilogy(三部曲).He then finished it in just two days.“Dad,why did The Wild Robot have to be so sad ”He tearfully asked me.
The story is set on a remote island,where a robot named Roz learns to survive and communicate with the island's creatures,and becomes part of the community.For my son,it was the first book he discovered on his own;the frst to impact him with the mix of tragedy (悲剧)and joy.
When I finished the book,I knew why Henry loved it.In our book club discussion,he described how Brown's pictures and words had made the story feel real.When talking about its final scenes, where Roz leaves to find repairs for her injured body,Henry cried again.His previous reading experiences had cheerful,"happily-ever-after"endings,but this book introduced him to the beauty of complex emotions.I tried to explain how sadness can enhance the meaning of happy moments,but failed to fully convince him.
Once our discussion ended,Henry requested to buy The Wild Robot Escapes and instantly fell in love with it.He read the first two books repeatedly,so you can imagine his excitement when we finally got a copy of The Wild Robot Protects.
We both agree it is worth the wait.Roz leaves the island again to stop an underwater threat:“the poison tide.”Brown expertly balances between breathtaking adventure and unsettling ideas —not just happiness and sadness,but also,given the climate-change undercurrents,hope and despair.
And,here's something special about Roz:her physical clumsiness and confusion about life, conveyed through her expressive eyes and downtuned mouth.Her story reflects the challenges of surviving in a strange place,much like a child's joumey.Readers love Roz.They learn from her. Even better,they learn alongside her.Roz gave Henry the power to push through the first book's sad parts,getting him ready to appreciate that,sometimes,sadness isn't a bad thing to feel.
24.What drove the author to read The Wild Robot

Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
28.Why did Kristin Schell start the movement
A.To host more parties in her front yard.
B.To entertain her friends and neighbors.
C.To engage with people in the neighbourhood.
D.To create harmonious communities worldwide.
29.Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text
A.Creative and sociable. B.Friendly and humorous.
C.Generous and ambitious. D.Cautious and responsible.
30.What can be inferred from the text
A.People don’t like others to step into their houses.
B.The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.
C.Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.
D.People feel unwilling to join in the front ya rd chat at first.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Love Your Neighbors B.An Amazing Woman
C.Happy Front Yard Time D.Tables Where All Are Welcome

In the joyful summer Chadalavada spent with Jayasree,his grandmother in 2018,the pair watched endless movies.Late one evening,Jayasree,who had recently been diagnosed(诊断)with Alzheimer's,got up in her nightdress and went to make tea at her home in India.After she returned to her bedroom,Chadalavada went into the kitchen to find that his grandmother had left the gas on!
Chadalavada decided to invent a wearable device to help people like his grandmother.Now aged 17, Chadalavada is ready to start making the Alpha Monitor.The device,which can be worn as an armband,sets off an alarm when the wearer with Alzheimer's starts to move and warns a caregiver if the patient falls or wanders off.
Most similar devices run on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth,so when a person moves out of their frequencies'limited range the connection is lost and with it the monitoring.But the Alpha Monitor can detect a person more than a mile away in cities and three miles in the countryside thanks to the long-range technology,known as LoRa,it uses.
Teaching himself with YouTube videos about robotics and electronics,Chadalavada has developed several prototypes(模型).To understand the needs of people with Alzheimer's,he spent time in a day centre run by the Alzheimer's and Related Disorders Society of India.There,the co-founder told him that the device“had to be something light that can be worn on any part of the body" She says:"Many patients don't like having to wear a watch and they take it off.”
In March,when Chadalavada's school exams are over,he will put the finishing touches to the monitor,with the aim of getting the device ready for market by September.He is confident that it should be sold at an affordable price for most people.
Chadalavada hopes to study robotics at a university abroad.His aim is simple:“I want to create products to help people in India for the whole world.”
32.Why did Chadalavada invent the Alpha Monitor
A.To treat Alzheimer's. B.To entertain senior citizens.
C.To improve Alzheimer's caregiving. D.To ensure fire safety at the elderly's homes.
33.What is an advantage of the Alpha Monitor
A.It is more comfortable to wear. B.It has a longer service time.
C.It offers a remoter monitoring. D.It uses higher frequency controls.
34.What did Chadalavada want to explore while he spent time in a day centre
A.Where his invention could be polished. B.What people with Alzheimer's felt like.
C.How Alzheimer's disease could be cured. D.Whether his invention would be profitable.
35.What can we learn about Chadalavada from the text
A.He enjoys living simply. B.He has an innovative mind.
C.He used to be a health worker. D.He longs to be a robotics professor.
第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
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。
Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. 36 In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders.Music emerges as a promising tool for promoting well-being of the elderly.
Music has a great power to cause strong emotions and intense pleasure. 37 Singing and dancing to music with others is not only fun but also improves mood. Musical activities are great ways to reduce stress because they take our minds off problems. They also help us feel less lonely and more connected with other people.
38 A song may become a soundtrack for a particular time, such as a delightful party with friends that you had a long time ago. Listening to that song allows you to remember all the happy memories from that time.
Finally, music contributes to keeping our thinking skills sharp. It makes our brains work hard in unique ways to understand the rhythm and melody. 39 For example,exposure to background music, particularly classical music, during cognitive (认知的)tasks is shown to improve older people's cognitive processes, such as processing speed and working memory .
In conclusion, music is a powerful tool to fight against aging-related emotional and cognitive problems. It is an enjoyable and social activity, available to anyone regardless of their background or previous musical experience. 40
A. Music can also open forgotten doors to our memories.
B. Recalling happy memories can lift our mood on a bad day.
C. Even passive music listening can help elderly adults think better.
D. T his helps people feel better when they are depressed or anxious.
E. However, it often involves a series of physical and mental challenges.
F. The ability to form new memories is essential for processing information.
G. Thus, this accessible intervention should become a major policy priority for healthy aging.

When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better.

In the joyful summer Chadalavada spent with Jayasree,his grandmother in 2018,the pair watched endless movies.Late one evening,Jayasree,who had recently been diagnosed(诊断)with Alzheimer's,got up in her nightdress and went to make tea at her home in India.After she returned to her bedroom,Chadalavada went into the kitchen to find that his grandmother had left the gas on!
Chadalavada decided to invent a wearable device to help people like his grandmother.Now aged 17, Chadalavada is ready to start making the Alpha Monitor.The device,which can be worn as an armband,sets off an alarm when the wearer with Alzheimer's starts to move and warns a caregiver if the patient falls or wanders off.
Most similar devices run on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth,so when a person moves out of their frequencies'limited range the connection is lost and with it the monitoring.But the Alpha Monitor can detect a person more than a mile away in cities and three miles in the countryside thanks to the long-range technology,known as LoRa,it uses.
Teaching himself with YouTube videos about robotics and electronics,Chadalavada has developed several prototypes(模型).To understand the needs of people with Alzheimer's,he spent time in a day centre run by the Alzheimer's and Related Disorders Society of India.There,the co-founder told him that the device“had to be something light that can be worn on any part of the body" She says:"Many patients don't like having to wear a watch and they take it off.”
In March,when Chadalavada's school exams are over,he will put the finishing touches to the monitor,with the aim of getting the device ready for market by September.He is confident that it should be sold at an affordable price for most people.
Chadalavada hopes to study robotics at a university abroad.His aim is simple:“I want to create products to help people in India for the whole world.”
32.Why did Chadalavada invent the Alpha Monitor
A.To treat Alzheimer's. B.To entertain senior citizens.
C.To improve Alzheimer's caregiving. D.To ensure fire safety at the elderly's homes.
33.What is an advantage of the Alpha Monitor

Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. 36 In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders.Music emerges as a promising tool for promoting well-being of the elderly.
Music has a great power to cause strong emotions and intense pleasure. 37 Singing and dancing to music with others is not only fun but also improves mood. Musical activities are great ways to reduce stress because they take our minds off problems. They also help us feel less lonely and more connected with other people.
38 A song may become a soundtrack for a particular time, such as a delightful party with friends that you had a long time ago. Listening to that song allows you to remember all the happy memories from that time.

It makes our brains work hard in unique ways to understand the rhythm and melody. 39 For example,exposure to background music, particularly classical music, during cognitive (认知的)tasks is shown to improve older people's cognitive processes, such as processing speed and working memory .
In conclusion, music is a powerful tool to fight against aging-related emotional and cognitive problems. It is an enjoyable and social activity, available to anyone regardless of their background or previous musical experience. 40
A. Music can also open forgotten doors to our memories.
B. Recalling happy memories can lift our mood on a bad day.

When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.
