Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.
Kanazawa is living proof (证明) that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years.
Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.
His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive (强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.
Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd.
Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50.
“I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.”
24. What can we learn about Kanazawa from Paragraph 2
A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young
C. He had serious health problems in his childhood. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired.
25. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again
A. To help change his diet. B. To cheer up his wife.
C. To stand to his promise. D. To recover from illness.
26. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body
A. He took the same workout schedule. B. He turned to the doctors for advice.
C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent over six hours training every day.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout
C. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D. Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness
C
Everyone may dream at night. Do you always believe your dream Some dreams make us feel relaxed and happy, while some dreams frighten us. Don’t you think so I even had such an experience.
One day I noticed the brakes (刹车) on my car getting weaker. They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop. I knew I needed new brakes, but I had many other things to do. So I didn’t take it seriously.
Then on Christmas Eve, I had an awful dream. I was driving my car on a bright, sunny day when suddenly a truck appeared on the road in front of me. I pushed on my brakes but they didn’t work and I hit that truck. The terrible dream woke me up at once and I made up my mind to change my brakes the next day. When the worker took out the old ones, I noticed that they had worn thin.
One day, I was driving home with my daughter beside me and my two sons in the back seat. Suddenly, a truck came from the other direction. It was running too fast and moved two feet over the center line. I hit my brakes and led my car toward the side of the road. We were surprised that the huge truck missed us by only a foot. It was too dangerous.
Later when I lay in my bed, I realized if I didn’t get my brakes changed, I couldn’t slow down fast enough. My children and I may be hurt or killed. I closed my eyes and gave thanks for that dream.
28. The writer didn’t change his brakes at first because he ________.
A. was too busy B. had an awful dream
C. was very poor D. wanted to buy a new car

C. Behind bad luck comes good luck. D. A stitch (缝补) in time saves nine.
D
You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world; robots. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen.
Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages. Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide.
But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas of a restaurant.
Still the use of robots is growing. In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he added two more; now, one robot leads diners to their seats while another delivers food to tables. And his employees load dirty dishes onto the third robot to bring them back to the kitchen.
Zhai said he now needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. A robot costs around $15,000, he said, but a person costs him $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Zhai noted that the robots give his human servers more time to spend with diners, which increases tips. And diners often post videos of the robots on social media, which leads to more visits. “Besides saving labor, the robots benefit business,” he said.
But not all restaurants have had success with robots. Chili’s introduced a robot server in 2020. The restaurant company expanded the test to 61 U.S. restaurants before suddenly stopping last August. Chili’s found that the robot moved too slowly and got in the way of human servers. And 58 percent of guests surveyed said robots did not improve their overall experience.
32. What is Li Zhai’s third robot used to do
A. Lead diners to their seats. B. Deliver food to tables.
C. Take orders from customers. D. Carry away dirty dishes.
33. What do Li Zhai’s words mainly tell us in Paragraph 5
A. The popularity of robots. B. The low prices of robots.
C. The advantages of using robots. D. The impression of robots on people.
34. Why did Chili’s give up robot servers
A. They broke down easily.
B. They didn’t work well enough.
C. They often made big mistakes.
D. They couldn’t understand customers’ demand.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Are Robot Waiters the Future B. Will Human Servers Lose Jobs
C. Robots Will Never Replace Humans D. Robot Services Are Better Than Humans

My daughter and I pushed the overloaded cart in the store. She reached up and took another toy, and without asking, threw it in the cart. “Is that for you ” I asked.
“No, it is for my friend,” she answered. I was proud of her. Being an only child and an only grandchild, she could have been spoiled (宠坏), but instead she was caring and very giving, almost more than necessary.
On the drive home, my daughter was unusually quiet. Finally, she said, “Mommy, if Santa brings all the gifts, why are we buying them ” I quickly tried to think of an answer. Before I could say anything, she shouted, “I know why. We’re Santa’s helpers!” Yes, she took the words right out of my mouth. Yes, that’s exactly what we are.
After a few days, she came home from school quite upset, explaining, “Mommy, there’s a girl in my class who’s very mean (吝啬) to me and my friends. She is Lucy. We talk to her anyway, and when we asked her what she was getting for Christmas, she started crying. She said she wasn’t getting anything because her mother is always sick and her father doesn’t have the money to pay for anything, not even food.”
I calmed her down, knowing what she was thinking about.
One evening before Christmas vacation, my daughter began to wrap (包装) the gifts for her friends. I gave her a roll of wrapping paper, but she came back and asked for more. I thought it was strange, but I was busy then, only telling her to get whatever she needed.
On the last day of school, I had to leave for work extra early, so I asked my friend to pick up my daughter since she had quite a few gifts to take for the class Christmas party. I never actually saw what my daughter took to school.
On Christmas Eve, I went to wrap gifts, but all of them were missing. I looked high and low and couldn’t find them.

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world; robots. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen.
Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages. Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide.
But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas of a restaurant.
Still the use of robots is growing. In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he added two more; now, one robot leads diners to their seats while another delivers food to tables. And his employees load dirty dishes onto the third robot to bring them back to the kitchen.
Zhai said he now needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. A robot costs around $15,000, he said, but a person costs him $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Zhai noted that the robots give his human servers more time to spend with diners, which increases tips. And diners often post videos of the robots on social media, which leads to more visits. “Besides saving labor, the robots benefit business,” he said.

第二节: 读后续写 (满分25分)
67. 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。
My daughter and I pushed the overloaded cart in the store. She reached up and took another toy, and without asking, threw it in the cart. “Is that for you ” I asked.
“No, it is for my friend,” she answered. I was proud of her. Being an only child and an only grandchild, she could have been spoiled (宠坏), but instead she was caring and very giving, almost more than necessary.
On the drive home, my daughter was unusually quiet. Finally, she said, “Mommy, if Santa brings all the gifts, why are we buying them ” I quickly tried to think of an answer. Before I could say anything, she shouted, “I know why. We’re Santa’s helpers!” Yes, she took the words right out of my mouth. Yes, that’s exactly what we are.
After a few days, she came home from school quite upset, explaining, “Mommy, there’s a girl in my class who’s very mean (吝啬) to me and my friends. She is Lucy. We talk to her anyway, and when we asked her what she was getting for Christmas, she started crying. She said she wasn’t getting anything because her mother is always sick and her father doesn’t have the money to pay for anything, not even food.”
I calmed her down, knowing what she was thinking about.
One evening before Christmas vacation, my daughter began to wrap (包装) the gifts for her friends. I gave her a roll of wrapping paper, but she came back and asked for more. I thought it was strange, but I was busy then, only telling her to get whatever she needed.
On the last day of school, I had to leave for work extra early, so I asked my friend to pick up my daughter since she had quite a few gifts to take for the class Christmas party. I never actually saw what my daughter took to school.
On Christmas Eve, I went to wrap gifts, but all of them were missing. I looked high and low and couldn’t find them.

Finally, I woke my daughter.

Early Christmas morning, a mother and a daughter came to our house.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Finally, I woke my daughter. I frantically searched for the missing gifts but was unable to find them anywhere. My daughter looked at me with concern in her eyes. Sensing my distress, she gently took my hand and said, “Mommy, don’t worry. Everything will be okay. Maybe our missing gifts weren't meant for us. Maybe they were meant for someone who needed them more.” Her words struck a chord within me.
Early Christmas morning, a mother and a daughter came to our house. A knock on the door interrupted our thoughts. Standing before me was Lucy and her mother, holding a beautifully wrapped gift. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized that my daughter’s intuition had led her to do something extraordinary. Lucy’s mother explained that my daughter had secretly packed the missing gifts and brought them to school for Lucy. In a selfless act of kindness, she had brightened Lucy’s Christmas and touched the hearts of everyone in her class. Hearing this, my heart swelled with pride as I saw the pure joy on my daughter’s face.
