The morning commute（通勤）is never fun, but if you pass through Stevenage on your way to work, your morning might be a little brighter thanks to Nala the cat.
Dragging yourself out of bed in the morning and off to work is hard, especially on dark winter mornings. You might be a little more inclined to head out of the house with a spring in your step if your commute started at Stevenage Station, where you'd be greeted by a ginger cat called Nala.
Usually found sitting on a ticket gate, four-year-old Nala lives close to the station with her owner Natasha Ambler, and often heads to station at rush hour to enjoy attention from commuters. Ambler created a social media page called The Adventures of Nala where hundreds of people have shared photos of the adventurous cat.
Recent photos include Nala waiting in line for her "cat-purr-ccino" at Costa, snoozing（打盹）on newspaper stands and posing with commuters at the station barriers.
Nala wears a GPS tracking device so that her travels can be traced, and is usually found at the railway station or the next door leisure park. As well as the usual collar with her name and owner's contact information, Nala wears a tag to let people know that she's not lost.
Ambler reported that she's not worried about Nala in the slightest: She's obviously well-loved and she's very happy doing what she does—I just hope one day she doesn't actually try to get on a train.
Nala brings a ray of joy to Stevenage commuters with her playful antics. Her presence not only brightens mornings but also fosters a sense of community, as evidenced by the shared photos and interactions on social media. Her owner's care and Nala's adventurous spirit ensure that she's a beloved and safe addition to the station environment.
24．What is morning commute usually like
A．Anything but fun. B．A little bit common.
C．Kind of pleasant. D．Somewhat interesting.
25．What makes it possible for Nala to turn up regularly at Stevenage Station
A．Her owner's love for her.

B．By using a positioning device.
C．By attaching a tag to Nala's neck.

27．What is Ambler's attitude towards Nala's action

Great whites, the largest predatory（捕食性的）sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.
Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters for sharks on July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara on California's central coast. That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna's drone camera. It was a shark pup（幼崽）unlike any they'd ever seen.
"We enlarged the images, put them in slow motion, and realized the white layer was being shed（脱落）from the body as it was swimming," Sternes said. "I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer."
These observations are documented in a new paper in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal. What Gauna and Sternes observed could help solve the longstanding mystery of great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have of a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred to only as white sharks by scientists, are gray on the top and white on the bottom. But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white.
Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea.
Great whites are listed as an international endangered species. "Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving," Sternes said.
28．What do we know about what appeared on Carlo s Gauna's camera
A．It is rare in the world.
B．It is tough to identify.
C．It is not open to the public.
D．It is unbelievable to scientists.
29．What does the white shark pup look like
A．Pure gray. B．White only on the bottom.
C．Gray on the top. D．Pure white.
30．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How great white females give birth to pups.
B．How the authors prove they saw a baby shark.
C．Why the authors believe they saw a newborn shark pup.
D．Why the authors think the white layer is a skin condition.
31．What does Sternes hope for if their assumption is confirmed
A．Helping white sharks to stop breeding.
B．Using laws to protect shark pups and their habitats.
C．Listing white sharks as endangered species.
D．Further study to confirm white sharks breeding waters.

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can change energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait （步态）, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. This method allows the robot to walk and pivot（绕……旋转）.
"Research on biohybrid robots, which are a mix of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function," says corresponding author Shoji Takeuchi of the University of Tokyo, Japan. "Using muscles as actuators（致动器）allows us to build a compact robot and achieve efficient, silent movements with a soft touch."
The research team's two-legged robot, an innovative bipedal（二足的）design, builds on the legacy of biohybrid robots that take advantage of muscles. Muscle tissues have driven biohybrid robots to crawl and swim straight forward and make turns—but not sharp ones. Yet, being able to pivot and make sharp turns is an essential feature for robots to avoid obstacles.
To build a nimbler robot with fine and delicate movements, the researchers designed a biohybrid robot that copies human gait and operates in water. By alternating the electric stimulation between the left and right leg every 5 seconds, the biohybrid robot successfully "walked" at the speed of 5.4m m/min（0.002 mph）. To turn, researchers repeatedly zapped the right leg every 5 seconds while the left leg served as an anchor.
The robot made a 90-degree left turn in 62 seconds. The findings showed that the muscle-driven bipedal robot can walk, stop, and make fine-tuned turning motions.
"Currently, we are manually moving a pair of electrodes to apply an electric field individually to the legs, which takes time," says Takeuchi. "In the future, by integrating the electrodes into the robot, we expect to increase the speed more efficiently.
The team also plans to give joints and thicker muscle tissues to the bipedal robot to enable more complicated and powerful movements.
32．What is the weakness of a robot
A．Awkward to move. B．Complex to operate.
C．Tough to control. D．Easy to lose energy.
33．What does the underlined word "nimbler" in paragraph 4 mean
A．More stylish. B．More flexible.
C．More intelligent. D．More suitable.
34．What will the team do next
A．Add more power to the bipedal robot.
B．Expand the use of the bipedal robot.
C．Better the bipedal robot's movements.
D．Apply an electric field to the bipedal robot.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Biohybrid robots are a mix of biology and mechanics
B．Human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements
C．Making sharp turns is essential for robots to avoid obstacles
D．Scientists designed a two-legged robot powered by muscle tissues

"And that's ‘The Ray of Hope' for you!" Asta said as she ended her book review. She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering（结巴）. Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise.
I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave If only there was a way to prove myself...
Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard.
"Minute to say it " I read the poster out loud.
It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy （小奖杯）.
Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright.
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。
The big day finally arrived.
Next, it was Asta's turn.

First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea."尽管论文作者承认鲨鱼脱落的白色层可能是皮肤状况造成的，但两人认为他们看到的实际上是一只新生的大白鲨。首先，大白雌性产下活的幼崽。第二个原因是这个地方有可能怀孕的大白鲨。最后，这个位于加利福尼亚州中部海岸的地方长期以来一直被认为是大白鲨的出生地。许多学者认为大白鲨出生在更远的海域。可知，这一段主要讲述为什么作者认为他们看到了一只新生的鲨鱼幼崽。故选C。
31．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"‘Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,' Sternes said.""需要进一步的研究来确认这些水域确实为大白鲨的繁殖地。但如果确定是，我们将希望立法者介入保护这些水域，帮助大白鲨继续繁盛。"Sternes说道。可知，如果他们的假设得到证实，Sternes希望利用法律保护鲨鱼幼崽及其栖息地。故选B。

The morning commute（通勤）is never fun, but if you pass through Stevenage on your way to work, your morning might be a little brighter thanks to Nala the cat.
Dragging yourself out of bed in the morning and off to work is hard, especially on dark winter mornings. You might be a little more inclined to head out of the house with a spring in your step if your commute started at Stevenage Station, where you'd be greeted by a ginger cat called Nala.
Usually found sitting on a ticket gate, four-year-old Nala lives close to the station with her owner Natasha Ambler, and often heads to station at rush hour to enjoy attention from commuters. Ambler created a social media page called The Adventures of Nala where hundreds of people have shared photos of the adventurous cat.
Recent photos include Nala waiting in line for her "cat-purr-ccino" at Costa, snoozing（打盹）on newspaper stands and posing with commuters at the station barriers.
Nala wears a GPS tracking device so that her travels can be traced, and is usually found at the railway station or the next door leisure park. As well as the usual collar with her name and owner's contact information, Nala wears a tag to let people know that she's not lost.
Ambler reported that she's not worried about Nala in the slightest: She's obviously well-loved and she's very happy doing what she does—I just hope one day she doesn't actually try to get on a train.
Nala brings a ray of joy to Stevenage commuters with her playful antics. Her presence not only brightens mornings but also fosters a sense of community, as evidenced by the shared photos and interactions on social media. Her owner's care and Nala's adventurous spirit ensure that she's a beloved and safe addition to the station environment.
24．What is morning commute usually like
A．Anything but fun. B．A little bit common.
C．Kind of pleasant. D．Somewhat interesting.
25．What makes it possible for Nala to turn up regularly at Stevenage Station
A．Her owner's love for her.
B．Her desire to entertain commuters.
C．The short distance from the station.
D．Her preference for the ticket gate.
26．How does Ambler keep track of Nala
A．By following Nala all the way.
B．By using a positioning device.
C．By attaching a tag to Nala's neck.
D．By posting her contact information on line.

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查细节理解。根据第一段"The morning commute（通勤）is never fun, but if you pass through Stevenage on your way to work, your morning might be a little brighter thanks to Nala the cat."早晨的通勤或许从来都不是一件乐事，但如果你上班途中经过斯蒂夫尼奇，有了猫咪娜拉的陪伴，你的早晨或许会因此而明媚几分。可知，早晨的通勤几乎无乐趣可言。故选A。

Great whites, the largest predatory（捕食性的）sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.
Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters for sharks on July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara on California's central coast. That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna's drone camera. It was a shark pup（幼崽）unlike any they'd ever seen.
"We enlarged the images, put them in slow motion, and realized the white layer was being shed（脱落）from the body as it was swimming," Sternes said. "I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer."
These observations are documented in a new paper in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal. What Gauna and Sternes observed could help solve the longstanding mystery of great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have of a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred to only as white sharks by scientists, are gray on the top and white on the bottom. But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white.
Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea.
Great whites are listed as an international endangered species. "Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving," Sternes said.
28．What do we know about what appeared on Carlo s Gauna's camera
A．It is rare in the world.
B．It is tough to identify.
C．It is not open to the public.
D．It is unbelievable to scientists.
29．What does the white shark pup look like
A．Pure gray. B．White only on the bottom.
C．Gray on the top. D．Pure white.
30．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How great white females give birth to pups.
B．How the authors prove they saw a baby shark.
C．Why the authors believe they saw a newborn shark pup.
D．Why the authors think the white layer is a skin condition.
31．What does Sternes hope for if their assumption is confirmed
A．Helping white sharks to stop breeding.
B．Using laws to protect shark pups and their habitats.
C．Listing white sharks as endangered species.
D．Further study to confirm white sharks breeding waters.

It was a shark pup unlike any they'd ever seen."那天，Gauna的无人机摄像机取景器中出现了令人兴奋的一幕。那是一条他们从未见过的鲨鱼幼崽。可知，镜头中出现的鲨鱼幼崽在世界上是罕见的。故选A。
29．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white."但这只约5英尺长的鲨鱼全身纯白。可知，白鲨幼崽看起来像纯白的。故选D。
30．考查段落大意。根据第五段"Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea."尽管论文作者承认鲨鱼脱落的白色层可能是皮肤状况造成的，但两人认为他们看到的实际上是一只新生的大白鲨。首先，大白雌性产下活的幼崽。第二个原因是这个地方有可能怀孕的大白鲨。最后，这个位于加利福尼亚州中部海岸的地方长期以来一直被认为是大白鲨的出生地。许多学者认为大白鲨出生在更远的海域。可知，这一段主要讲述为什么作者认为他们看到了一只新生的鲨鱼幼崽。故选C。
31．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"‘Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,' Sternes said.""需要进一步的研究来确认这些水域确实为大白鲨的繁殖地。但如果确定是，我们将希望立法者介入保护这些水域，帮助大白鲨继续繁盛。"Sternes说道。可知，如果他们的假设得到证实，Sternes希望利用法律保护鲨鱼幼崽及其栖息地。故选B。

Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can change energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait （步态）, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. This method allows the robot to walk and pivot（绕……旋转）.
"Research on biohybrid robots, which are a mix of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function," says corresponding author Shoji Takeuchi of the University of Tokyo, Japan. "Using muscles as actuators（致动器）allows us to build a compact robot and achieve efficient, silent movements with a soft touch."
The research team's two-legged robot, an innovative bipedal（二足的）design, builds on the legacy of biohybrid robots that take advantage of muscles. Muscle tissues have driven biohybrid robots to crawl and swim straight forward and make turns—but not sharp ones. Yet, being able to pivot and make sharp turns is an essential feature for robots to avoid obstacles.
To build a nimbler robot with fine and delicate movements, the researchers designed a biohybrid robot that copies human gait and operates in water. By alternating the electric stimulation between the left and right leg every 5 seconds, the biohybrid robot successfully "walked" at the speed of 5.4m m/min（0.002 mph）. To turn, researchers repeatedly zapped the right leg every 5 seconds while the left leg served as an anchor.
The robot made a 90-degree left turn in 62 seconds. The findings showed that the muscle-driven bipedal robot can walk, stop, and make fine-tuned turning motions.
"Currently, we are manually moving a pair of electrodes to apply an electric field individually to the legs, which takes time," says Takeuchi. "In the future, by integrating the electrodes into the robot, we expect to increase the speed more efficiently.
The team also plans to give joints and thicker muscle tissues to the bipedal robot to enable more complicated and powerful movements.
32．What is the weakness of a robot
A．Awkward to move. B．Complex to operate.
C．Tough to control. D．Easy to lose energy.
33．What does the underlined word "nimbler" in paragraph 4 mean
A．More stylish. B．More flexible.
C．More intelligent. D．More suitable.
34．What will the team do next
A．Add more power to the bipedal robot.
B．Expand the use of the bipedal robot.
C．Better the bipedal robot's movements.
D．Apply an electric field to the bipedal robot.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Biohybrid robots are a mix of biology and mechanics
B．Human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements
C．Making sharp turns is essential for robots to avoid obstacles
D．Scientists designed a two-legged robot powered by muscle tissues
【答案】32．A
33．B
34．C
35．D
【知识点】词义猜测题；细节理解题；说明文；科普类；标题选择
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了一种两足机器人，来优化机器人难以移动的弱点，介绍了这种机器人的特点和未来应用。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can change energy efficiently into movement."与机器人相比，人的身体是灵活的，能够精细的运动，并能有效地将能量转化为运动。可推知，机器人的弱点是难以移动。故选A。
33．考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的"robot with fine and delicate movements, the researchers designed a biohybrid robot that copies human gait and operates in water"可知，研究人员设计了一种生物混合机器人，它可以模仿人类的步态，并在水中操作，说明这样的机器人动作更精细、更灵活。可推知划线词 nimbler 意思是"更灵活的"。故选B。
34．考查细节理解。根据最后一段"The team also plans to give joints and thicker muscle tissues to the bipedal robot to enable more complicated and powerful movements."该团队还计划为双足机器人提供关节和更厚的肌肉组织，以实现更复杂、更有力的运动。可知，团队接下来要改善双足机器人的动作。故选C。
35．考查标题归纳。根据第三段中的"The research team's two-legged robot, an innovative bipedal design, builds on the legacy of biohybrid robots that take advantage of muscles. Muscle tissues have driven biohybrid robots to crawl and swim straight forward and make turns—but not sharp ones."该研究小组的两足机器人是一种创新的两足设计，建立在利用肌肉的生物混合机器人的传统之上。肌肉组织驱动生物混合机器人向前爬行和游泳，并转弯——但不是急转弯；结合文章主要介绍了一种两足机器人，来优化机器人难以移动的弱点，介绍了这种机器人的特点和未来应用。可知，"科学家设计了一种由肌肉组织提供动力的两条腿机器人"适合作本文标题，故选D。

"And that's ‘The Ray of Hope' for you!" Asta said as she ended her book review. She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering（结巴）. Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise.
I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave If only there was a way to prove myself...
Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard.
"Minute to say it " I read the poster out loud.
It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy （小奖杯）.
Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright.
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。
The big day finally arrived.
Next, it was Asta's turn.
【答案】The big day finally arrived. Many students were backstage, all nervous and anxious. Time seemed to pass very quickly as the first few contestants made their way to the stage. Soon enough, it was my turn. As I walked up the stage unsteadily, my legs turned to jelly. "This… is…is… my…" I began. "No! No more stammering. I can do this!" I told myself. With forty seconds left, I went through the rest of my speech fluently. The moment the stopwatch clicked stop, I sighed a huge sigh of relief.
Next, it was Asta's turn. Her speech was so brilliant that even I was attracted! Later, at the prize ceremony, Asta was made champion while I got second place. Although I did not win the championship, I was more than happy to come in second. At least I had something to take home to show my parents. Hmmm… Come to think of it…Maybe overcoming my fear was not so bad after all.
