【答案】8．A 9．B 10．C
【原文】W: Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Today we have invited Prof. Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone.
M: To begin with, I’d like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them and many older Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth.
W: Yes, it’s true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age
M: Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care and the development of public services for senior citizens. Today, I’d like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our society.

【答案】11．C 12．A 13．B
【原文】W: Banbo Electronics customer service! What can I do for you
M: I want to check my order placed online just now.
W: Yes, you ordered two cellphones — one black and one white, a smartwatch for children with multiple functions, and a camera. Is that correct
M: Right. Thanks. By the way, can I expect those to arrive within a week We need them by next Friday.
W: With standard shipping, probably not. It will get there within 8 to 12 days. If you need it sooner, we should use urgent express. It can guarantee arrival within 4 to 6 days. But that would cost $50 instead of $30 for standard.
M: Hmm… Well, I guess we’ll have to go with the urgent one, then. Will it be possible to order additional items for the same shipping fee
W: Sure. You could add one item to your order. But I have to transfer you to the sales department.

【原文】M: Here’s an article from today’s paper-I thought you might be interested. It shows that people with strong connections tend to live longer and happier lives.
W: Oh, this is what we were chatting about last week!
M: That’s the reason I brought it for you. Mental health experts show that positive relationships can reduce stress, which is often linked to health issues. When you spend time with your family and friends, your mind produces feel-good chemicals called endorphins.
W: I’ve focused on eating well for self-improvement. But should I consider this along with exercise and sleep
M: Yes, these are all important. But keeping good relationships is powerful yet effortless. Owning a pet, calling relatives, or eating dinner with friends can positively affect health.
W: I’ve always dreamt of keeping a dog at home. Maybe I’ll visit a pet shop this weekend.
M: Great idea. Plus, just remind yourself to enjoy those meaningful moments with your loved ones!

18．What does the speaker usually buy for his friends
A．Something they like. B．Something he likes. C．Something valuable.
19．Why does the speaker dislike to give gifts
A．It costs too much money. B．It costs too much time. C．It is hard to know what people like.
20．What would the speaker want as a birthday gift
A．A card. B．A cake. C．A tie.
【答案】18．B 19．C 20．A
【原文】
M: The holiday season is coming up and many cultures mean giving gifts for different holidays. I'm not really good at choosing gifts for people, though. Because every time I go and buy something for someone, I want to buy something that I like and I would think that it would look good on them or something. But then my friends don't really like the gift so much because it doesn't suit them. For example, I bought a pair of earrings for a friend and then I realized that she doesn't really like jewels, so she never wore them. It's kind of hard to know what they want. Actually, for that reason, I don't like giving gifts at all. I think it's because of my background, like studying economics. It's just, to me, it's inefficient. You're buying something, you don't know if they really want it and they say, “Oh, it's the thought that counts.” But the time that you waste finding the gift and then you give them the gift and maybe they don't use it. So I'm not a big fan of gift giving. Even for birthdays. And for me, if it was my birthday, I would rather have someone make a card for me. It would have more value than someone buying gifts for me anyway.

Recently, I took him for a classic English afternoon tea at The Ritz Hotel. The thought of showing him a piece of authentic British life excited me for weeks, so when we finally sat down in the Ritz’s elegant tearoom, with the sound of a pianist in the background, I was thrilled.
I looked at the polished silver tea stand topped with finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones (烤饼), and mouthwatering pastries and teacakes. I was ready to dig in. Then I looked at Dad and a trace of nervousness flashed across his face. He carefully copied what I ate and how to use the knife and fork, and from time to time anxiously looked up at the waiter in his bow tie who was serving our table.
When we got to the scones, Dad took a big bite and remarked how delicious it was. He asked me to explain how the British eat scones, so I supplied him with details about the custom of breaking scones into small pieces, spreading cream and strawberry jam on top, before consuming each piece in one mouthful.
“Oh, why did you not tell me earlier ” Dad’s face turned red in embarrassment, suddenly realizing his mistake. For the rest of the scones session, he busied himself with neatly spreading the cream and jam like an obedient (听话的) child.
Suddenly, I felt a complex mixture of happiness, sadness and loneliness. Growing up, Dad was my hero, my mountain. I still remember flying into his arms after school at the kindergarten gate. Through the sound of his voice, I learned to feel and understand the world.
After moving to London alone, I have learned to achieve academic grades, found a job, and started a new life all by myself. But I did not fully realize how much I had grown up, until I saw how dependent Dad was on me in London. Although he is still a mountain in my heart, I realized I have in the meantime built a strong mountain of my own. And by being away from Dad’s protective wings I have come to understand more of myself and to find my own place in the world.

What would you do if you walked up to a robot with a human-like head and it smiled at you first You’d likely smile back and perhaps feel the two of you were genuinely interacting. But how does a robot know how to do this Or a better question, how does it know to get you to smile back
While we’re getting accustomed to robots that are expert at verbal (口头的) communication, thanks in part to advancements in large language models like ChatGPT, their nonverbal communication skills, especially facial expressions, have fallen far behind.
The Creative Machines Lab has been working on this challenge for more than five years. In a new study, the group unveils Emo, a robot. To train the robot how to make facial expressions, the researchers put Emo in front of the camera and let it do random movements. After a few hours, the robot learned the relationship between their facial expressions and the movement orders — much the way humans practice facial expressions by looking in the mirror. This is similar to our human ability to imagine what we look like when we make certain expressions.
Then the team ran videos of human facial expressions for Emo to observe them one after another. After training, which lasts a few hours, Emo could predict people’s facial expressions by observing tiny changes in their faces as they begin to form an intent to smile. It can not only make a wide range of facial expressions but also knows when to use them.
“I think predicting human facial expressions accurately is a revolution. Traditionally, robots have not been designed to consider humans’expressions during interactions. Now, the robot can integrate human facial expressions as feedback,” said Yuhang Hu. “When a robot makes co-expressions with people in real-time, it not only improves the interaction quality but also helps in building trust between humans and robots. In the future, when interacting with a robot, it will observe and understand your facial expressions, just like a real person.”
28．Why does the author ask questions in paragraph 1
A．To stress the sincere interaction.
B．To show curiosity about robots.
C．To get readers engaged in the subject.
D．To prove the power of smiling.
29．How do researchers train Emo to make facial expressions
A．By making it force a smile.
B．By asking it to look in the mirror.
C．By recording its expression at random.
D．By employing a way of self modeling.
30．What can the robot Emo do
A．Interact with humans like a friend.
B．Prepare facial expression in advance.
C．Read the mind of humans in an active way.
D．Recognize and respond to real-time human expressions.
31．What might be the best title for the text
A．Emo Robot Makes Quick Facial Reactions
B．Robots Can Smile at Human Beings Now
C．Emo Robot Reads Human Mind Exactly
D．Robots Can Interact with You Naturally
【答案】28．C 29．C 30．D 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发明的机器人Emo可以通过观察人类面部表情而适宜做出各种各样的面部表情进行回应。
28．推理判断题。由文章第一段“What would you do if you walked up to a robot with a human-like head and it smiled at you first You’d likely smile back and perhaps feel the two of you were genuinely interacting. But how does a robot know how to do this Or a better question, how does it know to get you to smile back (如果你走到一个有着人形脑袋的机器人面前，它先对你微笑，你会怎么办？你可能会报以微笑，也许会觉得你们两个在真诚地互动。但是机器人怎么知道怎么做呢？或者一个更好的问题，它是如何让你微笑的？)”以及后文内容可推知，作者在第1段中提出问题是为了让读者参与到这个主题中来。故选C项。
29．细节理解题。由文章第三段“To train the robot how to make facial expressions, the researchers put Emo in front of the camera and let it do random movements.(为了训练机器人如何做出面部表情，研究人员将Emo放在相机前，让它做随机动作)”可知，研究人员通过随机记录表情来训练Emo做出面部表情。故选C项。
30．细节理解题。由文章第四段“Emo could predict people’s facial expressions by observing tiny changes in their faces as they begin to form an intent to smile. It can not only make a wide range of facial expressions but also knows when to use them.(Emo可以通过观察人们开始形成微笑意图时脸上的微小变化来预测他们的面部表情。它不仅可以做出各种各样的面部表情，而且知道何时使用)”可知，机器人Emo可以识别并响应实时的人类表情。故选D项。
31．主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Emo could predict people’s facial expressions by observing tiny changes in their faces as they begin to form an intent to smile. It can not only make a wide range of facial expressions but also knows when to use them.(Emo可以通过观察人们开始形成微笑意图时脸上的微小变化来预测他们的面部表情。它不仅可以做出各种各样的面部表情，而且知道何时使用)”以及上下文可知，文章主要介绍机器人Emo可以通过观察人类面部表情而适宜做出各种各样的面部表情进行回应。由此可知，A项Emo Robot Makes Quick Facial Reactions.(Emo机器人快速做出面部反应)适合作文章最佳标题。故选A项。
D
Researchers set up an experiment in which 5-year-olds were tested with their fellows under different circumstances of transparency (透明) and different audiences. They set up a sticker machine that in some settings was transparent, and other settings in which only the giver of stickers knew how many stickers he could give. They had children give out stickers in both settings. The results were striking: children were consistently generous only when the receiver and audience of the stickers were fully aware of the donation options. Children were notably ungenerous when the receiver of stickers couldn’t see the options.
The researchers said, “Children only showed consistently pro-social behavior in our study in the condition when they could see the receiver and their allocations (分配物) were fully visible; in all other conditions, children were statistically ungenerous, giving the receiver the smaller amount of stickers.”
They made the conclusions that at a very early age, children are learning how to position themselves socially. Well before they apprehend the sociology of their networks and what social reputation really means, they think strategically about giving as a function of how they can gain a reputation with a peer as a generous citizen or pro-social agent when the receiver observes them.
Children change their behavior in response to having an audience. Help children give to others in full view, delivering meals to families, and in private, dropping off treats or surprises for those who need support without signing their names. Also, children should be reminded that thank-you notes are lovely but unnecessary to receive. When we give gifts or lend help to others, try to help children remember why—to provide something for another. It really doesn’t have to be recognized. When a thank-you card doesn’t come, it doesn’t make a gift any less valuable or meaningful for those who were lucky enough to receive.
32．What did the researchers discover
A．The givers’ behavior inspired the receivers to help in return.
B．The children gave out an equal number of stickers in both settings.
C．The presence of an audience affected children’s decisions to give.
D．Donating helped children to become more generous in the future.
33．Which is pro-social behavior according to the researchers
A．Observing the givers. B．Donating more stickers.
C．Gaining a reputation. D．Receiving more allocations.
34．What does the underlined word “apprehend” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Show gratitude for. B．Make predictions of.
C．Have belief in. D．Gain insight into.
35．What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To call on recognizing others’ kindness. B．To acknowledge the giver’s contribution.
C．To confirm the benefits of being grateful. D．To suggest inspiring generosity in children.
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。如何激发孩子的慷慨？研究表明，当别人意识到他们的行为时，孩子会更慷慨。本文主要介绍了这一研究结果并就如何从小培养慷慨提供了建议。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“The results were striking: children were consistently generous only when the receiver and audience of the stickers were fully aware of the donation options. Children were notably ungenerous when the receiver of stickers couldn’t see the options.(结果是惊人的：只有当贴纸的接收者和受众完全了解捐赠选项时，孩子们才会一直慷慨解囊。当贴纸的接收者看不到任何选项时，孩子们明显不慷慨)”可知，研究人员发现观众的存在影响了孩子们做出的决定。故选C。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers said, “Children only showed consistently pro-social behavior in our study in the condition when they could see the receiver and their allocations (分配物) were fully visible; in all other conditions, children were statistically ungenerous, giving the receiver the smaller amount of stickers.”(研究人员表示，“在我们的研究中，只有当孩子们能够看到接收者，并且他们的分配完全可见时，他们才会表现出一贯的亲社会行为；在所有其他情况下，从统计数据来看，孩子们都很吝啬，给接收者的贴纸数量较少。”)”可知，研究人员认为，捐赠更多贴纸，即慷慨，是亲社会行为。故选B。
34．词义猜测题。根据第三段“They made the conclusions that at a very early age, children are learning how to position themselves socially. (他们得出的结论是，在很小的时候，孩子们就在学习如何在社会上定位自己)”可知，孩子们在很小的时候就在学习如何在社会上定位自己。根据划线词前“Well before (在……之前)”以及其后“the sociology of their networks and what social reputation really means (网络的社会学以及社会声誉的真正含义)”可知，孩子们早在他们理解网络的社会学以及社会声誉的真正含义之前就在学习如何在社会上定位自己。故apprehend意为“理解”。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Help children give to others in full view, delivering meals to families, and in private, dropping off treats or surprises for those who need support without signing their names. Also, children should be reminded that thank-you notes are lovely but unnecessary to receive. When we give gifts or lend help to others, try to help children remember why—to provide something for another. It really doesn’t have to be recognized.(帮助孩子们在众目睽睽之下给予他人，为家人送餐，私下里为那些需要支持的人送去零食或惊喜，而不需要签名。此外，应该提醒孩子们，感谢信很可爱，但没有必要收到。当我们给别人礼物或帮助别人时，试着帮助孩子记住为什么要为别人提供一些东西。它真的不需要被认可)”可知，最后一段旨在就从小培养慷慨提供建议。故选D。

It is likely that on American TV shows you at times will be attracted by rubber balls on people’s desks. 36 People can squeeze them when feeling stressed out. It’s believed that by concentrating on the act of squeezing, they can let go of the negative energy in their bodies.
Indeed, stress is a big problem for many people. 37 In fact, the rubber stress relief balls that are so popular today in the US are believed to date back to ancient China. Back in the Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 220), soldiers used walnuts to get rid of stress. By squeezing them during moments of anxiety, soldiers were able to calm themselves down before going into battle. And in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), ordinary citizens—not just soldiers—developed the habit of rolling two walnuts, or balls made from iron or stone, around in their hands. 38 And today, we have many gadgets (器具) and toys that are designed to reduce stress in addition to stress relief balls. One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺). 39 You have to spin the gadget around. There’s also the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks (机关)” on each side of the cube. You can click, spin, pull, push and rotate different parts of the cube.
40 But perhaps we should take them more seriously. “After all, the history of stress balls is a history of modern-day coping (应对),” reporter Nadia Berenstein wrote for Woolly magazine.
A．This helped them relax as well.
B．These gadgets may look like simple toys.
C．It keeps your hand busy with an easy task.
D．These balls are known as “stress relief balls”.
E．Fortunately, we have many ways to deal with it.
F．This was the perfect way to ease away your tension.
G．A focused activity helps take your mind off the problems of your day.
【答案】36．D 37．E 38．A 39．C 40．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了减压球的历史和传承。
36．根据上句“It is likely that on American TV shows you at times will be attracted by rubber balls on people’s desks. (在美国电视节目中，你有时将会被人们桌子上的橡皮球吸引)”可知，空格处将进一步解释这个橡皮球到底有什么用途。因此D.These balls are known as “stress relief balls”. (这些球就是所谓的减压球)符合语境。故选D。
37．根据上句“Indeed, stress is a big problem for many people. (的确，压力对于许多人来说是一个大问题)”可知，既然有压力，我们就要寻求解决办法。因此E. Fortunately, we have many ways to deal with it. (幸运的是，我们有许多方法去解决它) 符合语境。故选E。
38．根据上句“Ordinary citizens—not just soldiers—developed the habit of rolling two walnuts, or balls made from iron or stone, around in their hands(普通人养成了在手里滚动两个核桃的习惯，或者由铁或石头制成的球）”可知，空格处讲这样的习惯会带来怎样的好处。因此A. thus making them feel relaxed as well(因此，使他们很放松) 符合语境。故选A。
39．根据上句“One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺)(一个例子就是流行的指尖陀螺).”以及空格后“spinning the gadget around.”可知，指尖陀螺很让你的手忙起来的容易操作器具，因此C. It keeps your hand busy with an easy task(它用简单的任务让你的手忙起来) 符合语境。故选C。
40．根据下句“but perhaps we should take them more seriously than they are given credit (赞赏) for. (但是或许我们应该认真对待这些器具而不是仅仅赞赏）”可知，空处语上文形成转折关系，B项中的“gadgets”与下文的them对应。因此B. These gadgets may look like simple toys(这些器具可能看起来像简单的玩具) 符合语境。故选B。

【答案】Dear Ryan,
I’m excited to hear about the English Reading Bar initiative. I recommend focusing on young adult fiction.
First of all, young adult literature often tackles themes and issues that are highly relevant to the teenage experience, such as identity, friendship, and coming of age, which can foster deep engagement and discussion. Moreover, the writing style in these books is typically more approachable for English learners, allowing students to focus on comprehension and enjoyment without being overwhelmed by complex language. Last but not least, they offer a wide array of stories with diverse characters and settings, promoting inclusivity and broadening students’ perspectives on different cultures and experiences.
I believe these selections will not only attract students to the bar but also enhance their reading skills and cultural awareness.
Best regards,
Li Hua

第二节（满分25分）
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。
A young man named Monty Roberts who was the son of an itinerant (巡回的) horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch (大农场) to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continuously interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the truck. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 40000 square-foot house that would sit on the 200-acre dream ranch.
“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F ”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”
Paragraph 1:
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Many years later, the same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp on a horse ranch owned by Monty Roberts.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He was in dilemma and couldn’t find way out. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”
Many years later, the same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp on a horse ranch owned by Monty Roberts. Recognizing Monty, the teacher felt ashamed. When he was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough courage and determination not to give up on yours.” He continued, “I will encourage my students not to let anyone steal their dreams and to follow their heart, no matter what happens.”
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Monty Roberts上高中时，有一次老师让写一篇关于自己的梦想的论文，Monty Roberts在文中描述了他想拥有一个大的牧场，结果交上论文后，老师给了他一个不及格，老师让他重写一个符合实际的梦想的论文，多年后，Monty Roberts真的实现了自己的梦想，当老师带着学生去他的牧场露营时，老师为自己当年的行为道了歉，鼓励学生应该追求自己的梦想。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“男孩回到家，反复思量了很久。”可知，第一段可描写男孩问父亲怎么办，父亲叫他自己做决定，男孩考虑了一个星期后，没有做任何修改交给了老师，说要坚守自己的梦想。
②由第二段首句内容“多年后，这位学校老师带着30个孩子来到Monty Roberts拥有的马场露营。”可知，第二段可描写老师在得知Monty真的实现了自己的梦想后的反应，老师向Monty道了歉，及老师的反思。
2.续写线索：
男孩回家苦思冥想——寻求父亲建议——把论文原封不动交给老师——老师带学生来到Monty Roberts的马场露营——重遇老师——老师道歉——老师反思

Recently, I took him for a classic English afternoon tea at The Ritz Hotel. The thought of showing him a piece of authentic British life excited me for weeks, so when we finally sat down in the Ritz’s elegant tearoom, with the sound of a pianist in the background, I was thrilled.
I looked at the polished silver tea stand topped with finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones (烤饼), and mouthwatering pastries and teacakes. I was ready to dig in. Then I looked at Dad and a trace of nervousness flashed across his face. He carefully copied what I ate and how to use the knife and fork, and from time to time anxiously looked up at the waiter in his bow tie who was serving our table.
When we got to the scones, Dad took a big bite and remarked how delicious it was. He asked me to explain how the British eat scones, so I supplied him with details about the custom of breaking scones into small pieces, spreading cream and strawberry jam on top, before consuming each piece in one mouthful.
“Oh, why did you not tell me earlier ” Dad’s face turned red in embarrassment, suddenly realizing his mistake. For the rest of the scones session, he busied himself with neatly spreading the cream and jam like an obedient (听话的) child.
Suddenly, I felt a complex mixture of happiness, sadness and loneliness. Growing up, Dad was my hero, my mountain. I still remember flying into his arms after school at the kindergarten gate. Through the sound of his voice, I learned to feel and understand the world.
After moving to London alone, I have learned to achieve academic grades, found a job, and started a new life all by myself. But I did not fully realize how much I had grown up, until I saw how dependent Dad was on me in London. Although he is still a mountain in my heart, I realized I have in the meantime built a strong mountain of my own. And by being away from Dad’s protective wings I have come to understand more of myself and to find my own place in the world.

What would you do if you walked up to a robot with a human-like head and it smiled at you first You’d likely smile back and perhaps feel the two of you were genuinely interacting. But how does a robot know how to do this Or a better question, how does it know to get you to smile back
While we’re getting accustomed to robots that are expert at verbal (口头的) communication, thanks in part to advancements in large language models like ChatGPT, their nonverbal communication skills, especially facial expressions, have fallen far behind.
The Creative Machines Lab has been working on this challenge for more than five years. In a new study, the group unveils Emo, a robot. To train the robot how to make facial expressions, the researchers put Emo in front of the camera and let it do random movements. After a few hours, the robot learned the relationship between their facial expressions and the movement orders — much the way humans practice facial expressions by looking in the mirror. This is similar to our human ability to imagine what we look like when we make certain expressions.
Then the team ran videos of human facial expressions for Emo to observe them one after another. After training, which lasts a few hours, Emo could predict people’s facial expressions by observing tiny changes in their faces as they begin to form an intent to smile. It can not only make a wide range of facial expressions but also knows when to use them.
“I think predicting human facial expressions accurately is a revolution. Traditionally, robots have not been designed to consider humans’expressions during interactions. Now, the robot can integrate human facial expressions as feedback,” said Yuhang Hu. “When a robot makes co-expressions with people in real-time, it not only improves the interaction quality but also helps in building trust between humans and robots. In the future, when interacting with a robot, it will observe and understand your facial expressions, just like a real person.”
28．Why does the author ask questions in paragraph 1
A．To stress the sincere interaction.
B．To show curiosity about robots.
C．To get readers engaged in the subject.
D．To prove the power of smiling.
29．How do researchers train Emo to make facial expressions
A．By making it force a smile.
B．By asking it to look in the mirror.
C．By recording its expression at random.
D．By employing a way of self modeling.
30．What can the robot Emo do
A．Interact with humans like a friend.
B．Prepare facial expression in advance.
C．Read the mind of humans in an active way.
D．Recognize and respond to real-time human expressions.
31．What might be the best title for the text
A．Emo Robot Makes Quick Facial Reactions
B．Robots Can Smile at Human Beings Now
C．Emo Robot Reads Human Mind Exactly
D．Robots Can Interact with You Naturally

Researchers set up an experiment in which 5-year-olds were tested with their fellows under different circumstances of transparency (透明) and different audiences. They set up a sticker machine that in some settings was transparent, and other settings in which only the giver of stickers knew how many stickers he could give. They had children give out stickers in both settings. The results were striking: children were consistently generous only when the receiver and audience of the stickers were fully aware of the donation options. Children were notably ungenerous when the receiver of stickers couldn’t see the options.
The researchers said, “Children only showed consistently pro-social behavior in our study in the condition when they could see the receiver and their allocations (分配物) were fully visible; in all other conditions, children were statistically ungenerous, giving the receiver the smaller amount of stickers.”
They made the conclusions that at a very early age, children are learning how to position themselves socially. Well before they apprehend the sociology of their networks and what social reputation really means, they think strategically about giving as a function of how they can gain a reputation with a peer as a generous citizen or pro-social agent when the receiver observes them.
Children change their behavior in response to having an audience. Help children give to others in full view, delivering meals to families, and in private, dropping off treats or surprises for those who need support without signing their names. Also, children should be reminded that thank-you notes are lovely but unnecessary to receive. When we give gifts or lend help to others, try to help children remember why—to provide something for another. It really doesn’t have to be recognized. When a thank-you card doesn’t come, it doesn’t make a gift any less valuable or meaningful for those who were lucky enough to receive.
32．What did the researchers discover
A．The givers’ behavior inspired the receivers to help in return.
B．The children gave out an equal number of stickers in both settings.
C．The presence of an audience affected children’s decisions to give.
D．Donating helped children to become more generous in the future.
33．Which is pro-social behavior according to the researchers
A．Observing the givers. B．Donating more stickers.
C．Gaining a reputation. D．Receiving more allocations.
34．What does the underlined word “apprehend” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Show gratitude for. B．Make predictions of.
C．Have belief in. D．Gain insight into.
35．What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To call on recognizing others’ kindness. B．To acknowledge the giver’s contribution.
C．To confirm the benefits of being grateful. D．To suggest inspiring generosity in children.

It is likely that on American TV shows you at times will be attracted by rubber balls on people’s desks. 36 People can squeeze them when feeling stressed out. It’s believed that by concentrating on the act of squeezing, they can let go of the negative energy in their bodies.
Indeed, stress is a big problem for many people. 37 In fact, the rubber stress relief balls that are so popular today in the US are believed to date back to ancient China. Back in the Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 220), soldiers used walnuts to get rid of stress. By squeezing them during moments of anxiety, soldiers were able to calm themselves down before going into battle. And in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), ordinary citizens—not just soldiers—developed the habit of rolling two walnuts, or balls made from iron or stone, around in their hands. 38 And today, we have many gadgets (器具) and toys that are designed to reduce stress in addition to stress relief balls. One example is the popular fidget spinner (指尖陀螺). 39 You have to spin the gadget around. There’s also the fidget cube, which features different “gimmicks (机关)” on each side of the cube. You can click, spin, pull, push and rotate different parts of the cube.
40 But perhaps we should take them more seriously. “After all, the history of stress balls is a history of modern-day coping (应对),” reporter Nadia Berenstein wrote for Woolly magazine.
A．This helped them relax as well.
B．These gadgets may look like simple toys.
C．It keeps your hand busy with an easy task.
D．These balls are known as “stress relief balls”.
E．Fortunately, we have many ways to deal with it.
F．This was the perfect way to ease away your tension.
G．A focused activity helps take your mind off the problems of your day.

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。
A young man named Monty Roberts who was the son of an itinerant (巡回的) horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch (大农场) to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continuously interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the truck. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 40000 square-foot house that would sit on the 200-acre dream ranch.
“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F ”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”
Paragraph 1:
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Many years later, the same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp on a horse ranch owned by Monty Roberts.
