Frederick McKinley Jones was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 17, 1893. By the time Frederick was 7 years old, his father sent young Jones to live with a priest (牧师) in Kentucky. At the age of 11, Jones ran away to feed himself. He returned to Cincinnati and worked as an entrance guard in a garage where he developed a skill for automobile mechanics. He became a leader of the shop. In 1912 he landed in Hallock, Minnesota, where he obtained a job doing mechanical work on a farm.
Jones had talent for and an interest in mechanics. He read extensively on the subject and educated himself in his spare time. By the time he was twenty, Jones was able to get an engineering license in Minnesota. He served in the U. S. Army during World War I (WWI) where he was often called upon to make repairs to machines and other equipment.
After the war, he returned to the farm. It was on the Hallock farm that Jones educated himself further in electronics. He built a transmitter (发射机) for the new radio station to broadcast its programming. He also developed a device to combine moving pictures with sound.
Jones continued to expand his interests in the 1930s. He designed and patented (获得专利) a portable air-cooling unit for trucks carrying perishable (易腐烂的) food. Forming a partnership with Numero, Jones founded the U. S. Thermo Control Company. The company burgeoned during World War II, helping to preserve blood, medicine and food.
Over the course of his career Jones received more than 60 patents. He was recognized for his achievements both during his lifetime and after his death. Jones died of lung cancer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on February 21, 1961. He was chosen into the Minnesota Inventors Hall of Fame in 1977. In 1991, then — President George H. W. Bush awarded the National Medal of Technology to Numero and Jones at a ceremony held in the White House Rose Garden.
24. What was Jones doing when he was 19
A. He was staying with a kind priest.
B. He was developing a new interest.
C. He was running his own garage.
D. He was doing work related to machinery.
25. Which of the following is TRUE about the portable air-cooling unit

The new e-skin improves tasks requiring accuracy and force control, overcoming a big challenge in advancing technology. Unlike traditional e-skins, this new e-skin stays accurate even when it stretches. “Much like human skin has to stretch and bend as we move, so does e-skin,” explains Nanshu Lu, a professor in the Cockrell School.
The breakthrough lies in an innovative hybrid response pressure sensor that Lu and her partners have developed over years. Lu sees the stretchable e-skin as an important part of a robot hand that can mirror the softness and sensitivity of a human hand. This new e-skin technology senses pressure from contact, letting the attached machine know how much force to use to, for example, hold a cup or touch a person. In demonstrations, the new e-skin allowed the robot hand to adapt to various sensitive tasks, such as accurately measuring human pulse ( 脉 搏 ) and pulse waves, securely holding objects without dropping them and even handling unexpected items like coins inside a glass or pressing on a potato chip without breaking it.
Lu and her team are currently exploring potential applications, including partnering to build a robotic arm equipped with the e-skin technology. They have also applied for a basic patent for the e-skin, indicating its potential for business use. In a world where the aging population exceeds (超过) the number of caregivers, the need for efficient and gentle care solutions is necessary. Lu believes robots equipped with advanced technologies like the stretchable e-skin could play a vital role in dealing with this global challenge.
Beyond medicine,human-caring robots could be used in disasters. They could search for injured and trapped people in an earthquake or a collapsed building. From healthcare to disaster response, the potential is significant. With further development and cooperation with robotics companies, Lu hopes to see this e-skin technology make its way to the market, marking the beginning of a new era of human-robot interaction and care.
28.What advantage does the new e-skin have over traditional e-skins
A.It keeps accurate even when stretching.
B.It enables robots to move at a fast speed.
C.It allows robot hands to bend into all shapes.
D.It helps robot hands control with less force.
29.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.The wide applications of the new e-skin.
B.The important development of the new e-skin.
C.The major challenge of the pressure sensor
D.The strong function of the pressure sensor.
30.What can robots with the new e-skin do for the global challenge of aging population
A.Reduce healthcare costs. B.Limit global business use.
C.Replace human caregivers. D.Improve medical care efficiency.
31.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new e-skin
A.Doubtful. B.Unclear C.Positive. D.Disapproving.
D
The outstanding biography portrays (刻画) the life of the complicated Renaissance (文艺复兴) artist with details. We come to see da Vinci as not only an inventor of musical instruments and early flying machines, but also a notebook keeper and vegetarian, who had trouble finishing many of the projects and paintings he started.
Yet what is most thrilling is getting to know da Vinci the scientist. Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius. Da Vinci was fascinated with observing and understanding phenomena in nature. He wanted to know about everything around him, in minute detail, Isaacson writes. He wondered about questions “most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about”— for instance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works.
To learn about the world, da Vinci combined his own observations with experimentation. Never formally schooled, “he preferred to induce (归纳) from experiments rather than deduce (推理) from theoretical principles.” Isaacson explains. He recorded his observations, looked for patterns among them, and then tested those patterns through additional observation and experimentation.
When he became fascinated with the idea that he could invent flying machines, he observed various birds and filled notebooks with the function and speed at which their wings flapped. That’s why Isaacson calls da Vinci an exemplar of this scientific method. He goes on: “Galileo, born 112 years after Leonardo, is usually credited with being the first to develop this kind of approach and is often regarded as the father of modern science.” There can be no doubt that this honor would have been bestowed (赠与) on Leonardo da Vinci had he published his scientific writings during his lifetime.
Da Vinci’s emphasis on empirical observation also helped him improve his art. First, he was able to use what he learned from looking at nature to paint and draw. His studies of the body, animals, motion, shadow and light, perspective and proportion helped him better understand what he was seeing in front of him, and render(表现) it in art more accurately and finely than anyone else of his time. Most importantly, his ability to connect art and science, helped him innovate in his work. Da Vinci made surprisingly diverse series of discoveries, including conceptualizing the helicopter and solar power and advancing knowledge about everything from the reproductive organs to botany. This genius is also what drew Isaacson to Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs as subjects: They’ re all innovators who were inspired by and drew connections between art and science.
“Leonardo da Vinci is the ultimate example of the main theme of my previous biographies: how the ability to make connections across disciplines — arts and sciences, humanities and technology — is a key to innovation, imagination, and genius,” Isaacson writes. And this wonderful book is a reminder, in a time of increasingly narrow specialization and focus, that the methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci are as relevant as ever.
32. What is the highlight of da Vinci’s biography
A. His unfinished paintings. B. His preference for vegetables.
C. His spirit of exploring science. D. His opposition to formal education.
33. Why does Isaacson mention Galileo in the book
A. To introduce his important findings in science.
B. To illustrate the significance of da Vinci’s research method.
C To show the challenges faced by da Vinci during his lifetime.
D. To memorize his contributions as the father of modern science.
34. Which of the following statements is true
A. Da Vinci improved his art and drew more accurately by painting mostly in the natural world.
B.The methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci can still apply to contemporary scientific research.
C. Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs are as famous as da Vinci for combining art with science.
D. Da Vinci failed to publish his scientific writing because the scientific method was inaccessible at that time.
35. What might be the best title for the passage
A. How a Genius Changed the World B. The Features of Renaissance Art
C. How Science Shaped His Art D. The Comparison between Art and Science

A sense of humor is the ability to sense, observe, and practice humor. Simply, the ability to appreciate a joke is called a sense of humor. A person who can say funny things and can observe the funny side of things is a person with a good sense of humor. 36
Share your point of view more.
When answering the question on how to improve humor skills, you cannot be Louis C. K. , George Carlin or Richard Pryor. It has to be the original you. Take a moment and think about the funniest people you have met in your life. 37 Every person has a different style and opinion when describing an event. So start sharing your point of view.
The importance of subject, target and its timing in humor.
You can’t be more wrong in a situation if you ignore the subject, its target and its timing. Let’s say what happens when you gift an adult magazine to a 6-year-old kid on his birthday. 38___ However, the narration (叙述) of the same incident 10 years from then would be funny.
___39__
The key to catching the minds of your friends and colleagues is to be familiar with their preferences. Developing a good sense of humor is not just about delivering fancy stuff but also about understanding the perspective of the humor subject.
Want to be humorous Laugh at yourself first.This is the greatest quality owned by a person with a good sense of humor. If you can laugh at yourself, it means that you have come to terms with your mistakes. 40 After all, any embarrassing story turns into a humorous story if given some time.

B. Share other people’s funny stories.
C. You’ll realize that no one is the same.
D. Be aware of the interests of your listeners.

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 love for dance began when I was very young and I would dream to be a star dancer from time to time. With the drama festival approaching, the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up.
As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began.
My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess.
The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!
I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练).
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal, still feeling disheartened. As we began, I watched the princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me. But then, as I started to act out my role, something shifted. Mr. Ellison’s words echoed in my mind, “Every role is important.” Gradually, I immersed myself in the character of the old woman. My lines flowed naturally, and I found a newfound respect for my role. To my surprise, my performance drew applause from my peers. This small role, I realized, could be a powerful one.
Finally, the great day arrived, and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. As the curtains opened, a rush of excitement filled me. I delivered my lines with conviction, feeling more alive on stage than I had ever been. The audience laughed at my humorous lines, and I felt a sense of accomplishment. When the final curtain fell, the applause was deafening. Mr. Ellison’s words had been right — every role was important. I had found my place in the spotlight, not as a princess, but as an old woman who helped a soldier. And it was enough.

Frederick McKinley Jones was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 17, 1893. By the time Frederick was 7 years old, his father sent young Jones to live with a priest (牧师) in Kentucky. At the age of 11, Jones ran away to feed himself. He returned to Cincinnati and worked as an entrance guard in a garage where he developed a skill for automobile mechanics. He became a leader of the shop. In 1912 he landed in Hallock, Minnesota, where he obtained a job doing mechanical work on a farm.
Jones had talent for and an interest in mechanics. He read extensively on the subject and educated himself in his spare time. By the time he was twenty, Jones was able to get an engineering license in Minnesota. He served in the U. S. Army during World War I (WWI) where he was often called upon to make repairs to machines and other equipment.
After the war, he returned to the farm. It was on the Hallock farm that Jones educated himself further in electronics. He built a transmitter (发射机) for the new radio station to broadcast its programming. He also developed a device to combine moving pictures with sound.
Jones continued to expand his interests in the 1930s. He designed and patented (获得专利) a portable air-cooling unit for trucks carrying perishable (易腐烂的) food. Forming a partnership with Numero, Jones founded the U. S. Thermo Control Company. The company burgeoned during World War II, helping to preserve blood, medicine and food.
Over the course of his career Jones received more than 60 patents. He was recognized for his achievements both during his lifetime and after his death. Jones died of lung cancer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on February 21, 1961. He was chosen into the Minnesota Inventors Hall of Fame in 1977. In 1991, then — President George H. W. Bush awarded the National Medal of Technology to Numero and Jones at a ceremony held in the White House Rose Garden.
24. What was Jones doing when he was 19
A. He was staying with a kind priest.
B. He was developing a new interest.

The new e-skin improves tasks requiring accuracy and force control, overcoming a big challenge in advancing technology. Unlike traditional e-skins, this new e-skin stays accurate even when it stretches. “Much like human skin has to stretch and bend as we move, so does e-skin,” explains Nanshu Lu, a professor in the Cockrell School.
The breakthrough lies in an innovative hybrid response pressure sensor that Lu and her partners have developed over years. Lu sees the stretchable e-skin as an important part of a robot hand that can mirror the softness and sensitivity of a human hand. This new e-skin technology senses pressure from contact, letting the attached machine know how much force to use to, for example, hold a cup or touch a person. In demonstrations, the new e-skin allowed the robot hand to adapt to various sensitive tasks, such as accurately measuring human pulse ( 脉 搏 ) and pulse waves, securely holding objects without dropping them and even handling unexpected items like coins inside a glass or pressing on a potato chip without breaking it.
Lu and her team are currently exploring potential applications, including partnering to build a robotic arm equipped with the e-skin technology. They have also applied for a basic patent for the e-skin, indicating its potential for business use. In a world where the aging population exceeds (超过) the number of caregivers, the need for efficient and gentle care solutions is necessary. Lu believes robots equipped with advanced technologies like the stretchable e-skin could play a vital role in dealing with this global challenge.
Beyond medicine,human-caring robots could be used in disasters. They could search for injured and trapped people in an earthquake or a collapsed building. From healthcare to disaster response, the potential is significant. With further development and cooperation with robotics companies, Lu hopes to see this e-skin technology make its way to the market, marking the beginning of a new era of human-robot interaction and care.
28.What advantage does the new e-skin have over traditional e-skins
A.It keeps accurate even when stretching.
B.It enables robots to move at a fast speed.
C.It allows robot hands to bend into all shapes.
D.It helps robot hands control with less force.
29.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.The wide applications of the new e-skin.
B.The important development of the new e-skin.
C.The major challenge of the pressure sensor
D.The strong function of the pressure sensor.
30.What can robots with the new e-skin do for the global challenge of aging population
A.Reduce healthcare costs. B.Limit global business use.
C.Replace human caregivers. D.Improve medical care efficiency.
31.What is the author’s attitude to the future of the new e-skin
A.Doubtful. B.Unclear C.Positive. D.Disapproving.
D
The outstanding biography portrays (刻画) the life of the complicated Renaissance (文艺复兴) artist with details. We come to see da Vinci as not only an inventor of musical instruments and early flying machines, but also a notebook keeper and vegetarian, who had trouble finishing many of the projects and paintings he started.
Yet what is most thrilling is getting to know da Vinci the scientist. Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius. Da Vinci was fascinated with observing and understanding phenomena in nature. He wanted to know about everything around him, in minute detail, Isaacson writes. He wondered about questions “most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about”— for instance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works.
To learn about the world, da Vinci combined his own observations with experimentation. Never formally schooled, “he preferred to induce (归纳) from experiments rather than deduce (推理) from theoretical principles.” Isaacson explains. He recorded his observations, looked for patterns among them, and then tested those patterns through additional observation and experimentation.
When he became fascinated with the idea that he could invent flying machines, he observed various birds and filled notebooks with the function and speed at which their wings flapped. That’s why Isaacson calls da Vinci an exemplar of this scientific method. He goes on: “Galileo, born 112 years after Leonardo, is usually credited with being the first to develop this kind of approach and is often regarded as the father of modern science.” There can be no doubt that this honor would have been bestowed (赠与) on Leonardo da Vinci had he published his scientific writings during his lifetime.
Da Vinci’s emphasis on empirical observation also helped him improve his art. First, he was able to use what he learned from looking at nature to paint and draw. His studies of the body, animals, motion, shadow and light, perspective and proportion helped him better understand what he was seeing in front of him, and render(表现) it in art more accurately and finely than anyone else of his time. Most importantly, his ability to connect art and science, helped him innovate in his work. Da Vinci made surprisingly diverse series of discoveries, including conceptualizing the helicopter and solar power and advancing knowledge about everything from the reproductive organs to botany. This genius is also what drew Isaacson to Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs as subjects: They’ re all innovators who were inspired by and drew connections between art and science.
“Leonardo da Vinci is the ultimate example of the main theme of my previous biographies: how the ability to make connections across disciplines — arts and sciences, humanities and technology — is a key to innovation, imagination, and genius,” Isaacson writes. And this wonderful book is a reminder, in a time of increasingly narrow specialization and focus, that the methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci are as relevant as ever.
32. What is the highlight of da Vinci’s biography
A. His unfinished paintings. B. His preference for vegetables.
C. His spirit of exploring science. D. His opposition to formal education.
33. Why does Isaacson mention Galileo in the book
A. To introduce his important findings in science.
B. To illustrate the significance of da Vinci’s research method.
C To show the challenges faced by da Vinci during his lifetime.
D. To memorize his contributions as the father of modern science.
34. Which of the following statements is true
A. Da Vinci improved his art and drew more accurately by painting mostly in the natural world.
B.The methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci can still apply to contemporary scientific research.
C. Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs are as famous as da Vinci for combining art with science.
D. Da Vinci failed to publish his scientific writing because the scientific method was inaccessible at that time.
35. What might be the best title for the passage
A. How a Genius Changed the World B. The Features of Renaissance Art
C. How Science Shaped His Art D. The Comparison between Art and Science

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 love for dance began when I was very young and I would dream to be a star dancer from time to time. With the drama festival approaching, the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up.
As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began.
My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess.
The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!
I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练).
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150个左右；

The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal, still feeling disheartened. As we began, I watched the princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me. But then, as I started to act out my role, something shifted. Mr. Ellison’s words echoed in my mind, “Every role is important.” Gradually, I immersed myself in the character of the old woman. My lines flowed naturally, and I found a newfound respect for my role. To my surprise, my performance drew applause from my peers. This small role, I realized, could be a powerful one.
Finally, the great day arrived, and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. As the curtains opened, a rush of excitement filled me. I delivered my lines with conviction, feeling more alive on stage than I had ever been. The audience laughed at my humorous lines, and I felt a sense of accomplishment. When the final curtain fell, the applause was deafening. Mr. Ellison’s words had been right — every role was important. I had found my place in the spotlight, not as a princess, but as an old woman who helped a soldier. And it was enough.
