It has been seven months since Sierra Roberts set sail--or actually boarded a plane--for a year-long adventure in the small Colombian town of Santa Rosa de Cabal in South America. Her travels are part of the Rotary Youth Exchange, available to high school students interested in living and studying abroad for one year.
Santa Rosa is known for its rich agriculture. But Colombia wasn’t Roberts’ first preference for the exchange program. “I’ve always been interested in foreign cultures, seeing new things and just learning,” Roberts said. “I was always kind of drawn to the idea of studying abroad. I actually wanted to go to Spain.”
As soon as Roberts arrived in Colombia in August, her preconceptions of the South American country quickly changed. Roberts said Colombia was nothing like what she had expected, making the first few months a difficult adjustment.
In an Oct. 21 blog post, Roberts writes, “I was letting my emotions and thoughts run me over. I realized that I can’t expect this country, this town, these people to change to accommodate me and fix my homesickness—that’s simply silly and goes against what exchange is really about.”
It was that moment that Roberts said everything around her changed. She started to grasp the language, allowing her to better communicate with her host family and peers and even leading her to make more friends. She even started dreaming in the language.
“I feel more grounded here now,” said Roberts, who will fly back to Indiana in mid-June. When she returns, she will present her experience to local Rotary clubs.
4. Why did Sierra Roberts go to Santa Rosa
A To go sightseeing. B. To pursue a career in agriculture.
C. To take an adventure. D. To study as an exchange student.
5. What does the underlined word “preconceptions” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Worries. B. Expectations. C. Opportunities. D. Memories.
6. How did Roberts feel when she got to Colombia
A. Excited. B. Confused. C. Disappointed. D. Curious.
7. What can we infer about Sierra Roberts
A. She has a positive attitude to life. B. She is good with different people.
C. She regrets coming to Santa Rosa. D. She is good at learning languages.
C
Researchers have developed a new soft robot design that conducts itself with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚)forward, turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, holds promise for developing soft robots that can be used to AA-head and map unknown environments.
The new soft robots are called twisted ring-bots (扭曲环机器人). They are made of something like a ribbon(缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring.
When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This induces a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis(横轴), giving the ring forward strength,” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
The twisted ring-bot also turns along its central axis. And as the twisted ring-bot moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the twisted ring-bot meets a boundary--like the wall of a box-it will travel along the boundary.
The twisted ring-bots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is governed by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human.
“Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.”
8. What makes the robot roll faster and faster
A. The ribbon. B. The central axis.
C. The higher surface temperature. D. The shape and material.
9. How does the author introduce the new soft robots
A. By offering reasons and results. B. By quoting experts’ opinions.
C. By making some comparisons. D. By explaining the robot’s working ways.
10. What is Yin’s attitude towards twisted ring-bots
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
11. Which of the following statements about ring-bots is true
A. The twisted ring-bots require human or computer control to operate.
B. The twisted ring-bots stop moving when they encounter a boundary.
C. The twisted ring-bots can only roll on surfaces that are below 55 degrees Celsius.
D. The behavior of the twisted ring-bots is decided by design and the materials.
D
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds many sculptures (雕塑) out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source of plastic pollution, but they’ ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’ d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
12. What is the main purpose of Benjamin Von Wong’s art projects
A. Beautifying the city he lives in. B. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
C. Introducing eco-friendly products. D. Reducing garbage on the beach.
13. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling. B. To find a replacement for them.
C. To voice his views on modern art. D. To explain why they are useful.
14. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A Calming. B. Refreshing. C. Disturbing. D. Challenging.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety B. Media Interest in Modern Art
C. Ocean Plastics Changed into Sculptures D. Big Companies’ Responsibility

On my first day in senior high school, my heart was racing and my legs were shaking. I was excited and nervous at the same time. Though I was happy to have the opportunity to see my friends after a long summer break, I could not help but think about what classes I was going to attend.
As I reached the classroom doors, my heart raced faster and I had butterflies in my stomach. Seeing the letters reading “Welcome Freshmen” on the door, I took a deep breath as though I was going to perform in front of people. I opened the door, thinking that the class would be quiet, but it was filled with freshmen who were chatting with each other. I sat at the first empty desk I saw. The teacher was not there, so I began to chat with others, too.
Minutes later, our teacher entered. She was short in height and had black, silky hair. The frown (皱眉) on her face gave me an impression that she had a strong character but after her short introduction, I believed she was a very nice woman. Her name was Mrs. Hutchinson. She handed the class our first task: to write about what you would want to be or what your dream job would be ten years from now.
注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I had no idea because I had never thought about what I wanted to do in the future.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With Mrs. Hutchinson’s encouragement, three years later, I went to college and followed the dream I had.

【答案】Dear Bob,
I heard that you have been skipping meals at school and replacing them with snacks. I am quite concerned about your health and how it may affect your studies. Skipping meals deprives you of essential nutrients that your body needs to function properly. This can lead to a weakened immune system, lack of energy, and difficulty in concentrating in class.
I would like to suggest that you start having regular, nutritious meals instead of skipping them. Make sure to include a variety of food groups in your diet.
Remember, your health is important, and your ability to learn effectively is directly linked to it. Please take my advice into consideration and start taking better care of yourself.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】I had no idea because I had never thought about what I wanted to do in the future. A mix of confusion and curiosity flooded over me. I looked around, and everyone else seemed to be writing with purpose and determination, except for me. Mrs. Hutchinson noticed my expression and came over to me with a warm smile, “Dream big, and chase what makes you happy.” Taking a deep breath, I decided to write about my dream of becoming a teacher. In the following years, Mrs. Hutchinson was always there, providing guidance and advice whenever I needed it.
With Mrs. Hutchinson’s encouragement, three years later, I went to college and followed the dream I had. At the start of my senior high school, I thought thinking about my future was the most challenging experience. However, it turned out that what I wrote that day set the course for my future. Now, as I stepped onto the college campus, I felt a sense of excitement and purpose. I was ready to embark on the next chapter of my journey, one that would lead me to become the teacher I had always dreamed of being.
