Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired.
Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable(脆弱的) and invisible,” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor(指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations.
A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a vehicle for teens to get their ideas out, it empowers girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said.
Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. Wilder wishes she had a program like this herself when she was 15. “To just have an organization where people are spending their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.”
24. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl
A. To gain a sense of belonging. B. To overcome her writing block.
C. To release negative emotions. D. To become a professional writer.
25. What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations
A. It aims to produce professional writers. B. It turns teen girls into mentors.
C. It exposes girls to varied writing styles. D. It ensures girls’entry to college.
26. What does the “mic and rant” exercise in paragraph 4 refer to
A. A daily writing task. B. A recitation of poetry.
C. A session for idea generation. D. A skillful expression activity.
27. What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph
A. Mentoring is a time-consuming process. B. Positive feedback is crucial for teen girls.
C. Criticism at a young age can be harmful. D. Mentorship should be based on friendship.
C
It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile(流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.
In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a ta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind.
It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms(同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy. But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.
28. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness
A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story.
29. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on
A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude.
C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude.
ta describes the state of loneliness as __________.
A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. never beneficial
31. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice. B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy.
C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world. D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences.
D
Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things—plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species.
To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots(芽) to receive information about light and gravity.
FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites.
For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils(卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it.
Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
32. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on
A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity. C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities.
33. What is an advantage of FiloBot
A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body.
C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot.
C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot’s design.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text
A. A Role Model for Robotics Research B. A Glimpse into the World of Robotics
C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics D. A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom

When did we start walking for leisure
“Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations alike because of its well-known benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking in mountainous have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism(步行运动).
36 Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. 37 He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.
38 Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day.
This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you. 39 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature. 40 Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider(阔步者), why not build a habit out of it
A. What if speed-walking isn’t your thing
B. This may make all the difference to our wellbeing.
C. Nowadays, we could add distracted phone-users.
D. He brought the recreation of walking into fashion.
E. Going on an urban walk is much more pleasant now.
F. It was a time to absorb what was going on around him.
G. In Britain, walking for fun wasn’t really a thing until the 1780s.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I jumped into my mother’s car, shut the door and poured out my recent trouble. “Jenny is playing her mind games again. Training is less tiring than dealing with her and her feelings,” I complained.
Jenny and I were co-captains of our cross-country team. We’d been training for the coming tournament(锦标赛) for weeks: stretching, running, and making the seven of us into a team. Jenny, with exceptional running talent, always had a way to get ahead of her competitors on the course. She also helped all of us run faster and cheered us on. It seemed that she was anticipating the final show.
However, this week, her attitude shifted. She kept making excuses not to run with the team, from aching legs to headaches. I had to beg her, telling her repeatedly that the team couldn’t do without her. It went on all day and I was worn out. What’s her deal
Mom pulled into our driveway, and turned toward me, “Well, I know a little about Jenny. She and her little brother have been together in foster care(寄养家庭). So close were they that every time they moved, Jenny would say that as long as they were together, they had a family.” My heart sank as Mom continued, “Jenny’s stepfather(继父) came for her brother this week, with gifts, hugs and big plans for their future. But Jenny wasn’t even part of his big plans.” My chest felt tight. “Poor Jenny, not to have a family.” I was close to tears. My mother patted my knee. “That’s it, honey. You got it.” And I did. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
I decided that I should do something. I proposed that we organize a team gathering before the tournament. Each member was to write a heartfelt message for every teammate and prepare a special gift for the one they felt most connected to. I made sure that Jenny would come. It took some persuading, though.
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。
As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. The day of the tournament arrived.

One Possible Answer:
As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. Apparently, Jenny was still upset, her head hanging low. With a heavy heart, I kicked things off, emphasizing our bond as a team. My gift for Jenny was a photo of our team, with everyone applauding her for taking first place. Gradually, our teammates showered each other with encouraging words and gifts. “To our captains, you are the rock!” Words like this eased the tension and warmed our hearts. Jenny couldn’t hold back her tears any more. “Let’s make it together, as a team!” she said, handing me a drawing of us together. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
The day of the tournament arrived. Jenny stood beside me, a look of resolve on her face. When the game began, the seven of us gave it our all, with Jenny leading the charge, inspiring us to push harder. So close were we that our hearts seemed to beat together. Not surprisingly, Jenny lifted us to the championship. As the final whistle blew, we erupted in cheers. We really made it as a team. But deep down, I knew we were more than a team—we were a family, with love and understanding, where everyone was valued!

Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired.
Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable(脆弱的) and invisible,” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor(指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations.
A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a vehicle for teens to get their ideas out, it empowers girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said.
Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. Wilder wishes she had a program like this herself when she was 15. “To just have an organization where people are spending their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.”
24. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl
A. To gain a sense of belonging. B. To overcome her writing block.
C. To release negative emotions. D. To become a professional writer.
25. What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations
A. It aims to produce professional writers. B. It turns teen girls into mentors.
C. It exposes girls to varied writing styles. D. It ensures girls’entry to college.
26. What does the “mic and rant” exercise in paragraph 4 refer to
A. A daily writing task. B. A recitation of poetry.
C. A session for idea generation. D. A skillful expression activity.
27. What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph
A. Mentoring is a time-consuming process. B. Positive feedback is crucial for teen girls.
C. Criticism at a young age can be harmful. D. Mentorship should be based on friendship.
C
It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile(流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.
In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a ta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind.
It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms(同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy. But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.
28. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness
A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story.
29. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on
A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude.
C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude.
ta describes the state of loneliness as __________.
A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. never beneficial
31. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice. B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy.
C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world. D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences.
D
Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things—plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species.
To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots(芽) to receive information about light and gravity.
FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites.
For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils(卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it.
Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
32. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on
A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity. C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities.
33. What is an advantage of FiloBot
A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body.
C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot.
C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot’s design.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text
A. A Role Model for Robotics Research B. A Glimpse into the World of Robotics
C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics D. A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom

When did we start walking for leisure
“Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations alike because of its well-known benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking in mountainous have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism(步行运动).
36 Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. 37 He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.
38 Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day.
This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you. 39 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature. 40 Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider(阔步者), why not build a habit out of it
A. What if speed-walking isn’t your thing
B. This may make all the difference to our wellbeing.
C. Nowadays, we could add distracted phone-users.
D. He brought the recreation of walking into fashion.
E. Going on an urban walk is much more pleasant now.
F. It was a time to absorb what was going on around him.
G. In Britain, walking for fun wasn’t really a thing until the 1780s.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I jumped into my mother’s car, shut the door and poured out my recent trouble. “Jenny is playing her mind games again. Training is less tiring than dealing with her and her feelings,” I complained.
Jenny and I were co-captains of our cross-country team. We’d been training for the coming tournament(锦标赛) for weeks: stretching, running, and making the seven of us into a team. Jenny, with exceptional running talent, always had a way to get ahead of her competitors on the course. She also helped all of us run faster and cheered us on. It seemed that she was anticipating the final show.
However, this week, her attitude shifted. She kept making excuses not to run with the team, from aching legs to headaches. I had to beg her, telling her repeatedly that the team couldn’t do without her. It went on all day and I was worn out. What’s her deal
Mom pulled into our driveway, and turned toward me, “Well, I know a little about Jenny. She and her little brother have been together in foster care(寄养家庭). So close were they that every time they moved, Jenny would say that as long as they were together, they had a family.” My heart sank as Mom continued, “Jenny’s stepfather(继父) came for her brother this week, with gifts, hugs and big plans for their future. But Jenny wasn’t even part of his big plans.” My chest felt tight. “Poor Jenny, not to have a family.” I was close to tears. My mother patted my knee. “That’s it, honey. You got it.” And I did. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
I decided that I should do something. I proposed that we organize a team gathering before the tournament. Each member was to write a heartfelt message for every teammate and prepare a special gift for the one they felt most connected to. I made sure that Jenny would come. It took some persuading, though.
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。
As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. The day of the tournament arrived.

One Possible Answer:
As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. Apparently, Jenny was still upset, her head hanging low. With a heavy heart, I kicked things off, emphasizing our bond as a team. My gift for Jenny was a photo of our team, with everyone applauding her for taking first place. Gradually, our teammates showered each other with encouraging words and gifts. “To our captains, you are the rock!” Words like this eased the tension and warmed our hearts. Jenny couldn’t hold back her tears any more. “Let’s make it together, as a team!” she said, handing me a drawing of us together. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华QQ:771515126
The day of the tournament arrived. Jenny stood beside me, a look of resolve on her face. When the game began, the seven of us gave it our all, with Jenny leading the charge, inspiring us to push harder. So close were we that our hearts seemed to beat together. Not surprisingly, Jenny lifted us to the championship. As the final whistle blew, we erupted in cheers. We really made it as a team. But deep down, I knew we were more than a team—we were a family, with love and understanding, where everyone was valued!
