Over the past 50 years, robots have become a normal part of our everyday lives. They build cars in factories, clean up dirt in the house and dismantle(拆卸) bombs in war zones. However, some inventors are creating a future where robots not only do boring and dangerous jobs but also become a part of our families.
In 2019, Japanese robotics company Groove X introduced LOVOT, a robot that weighs as much as a baby and looks like a mix between a penguin and a bear. Although LOVOT can t build a car, it can build a relationship with its owner and provide love, companionship and happiness. In fact, LOVOT is just one of the latest robots meant to help people who are suffering from issues such as loneliness and dementia.
LOVOT has a system of sensors that allows it to move freely around a room and respond to things. For example, people can rub its belly to lull it to sleep when holding LOVOT. Also, when LOVOT needs a hug, it will find its owner in the house and wait until it is picked up. People quickly develop an emotional bond with LOVOT due to its cute design and lifelike traits.
All over the world, robots like LOVOT are being used for “robot-assisted therapy”. For example, when a robot baby seal named PARO was given to an elderly Australian patient with dementia, the patient spoke for the first time since arriving at the nursing facility. In New Zealand, when dementia patients were given the chance to play with PARO or a real dog, they chose to play with PARO.
Robots like LOVOT and PARO are being developed at the perfect time. Many countries have “aging societies”, meaning the populations of old people outweigh young people, resulting in more people who not only need assistance with things like getting dressed and cooking meals but also friendship and love. Additionally, according to a national research institute in Japan, 40% of all people in that country will be living alone by 2040, meaning loneliness among younger populations may also increase significantly. Nevertheless, if LOVOT and PARO can give us all the love and affection we get from the pets without any of the mess or regular care, we might not be so lonely after all.
( )24. What can the robot LOVOT do
A. It can move around anywhere as a penguin does.
B. It can perform tasks like making cars in the factory.
C. It can be used to cure elderly patients of dementia.
D. It can keep people suffering from loneliness company.
( )25. What enables LOVOT to respond properly
A. Its built-in sensors. B. Its moderate size.
C. Its lifelike feature. D. Its cool appearance.
( )26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. PARO s appealing to the users.
B. The reason for LOVOT s popularity.
C. The practical application cases of robot pets.
D. Dementia patients preference for PARO.
( )27. What is the advantage of robots like LOVOT and PARO over pets
A. They can help people with their housework.
B. They need less care from the owners.
C. They can comfort people feeling lonely.
D. They can build a stronger bond with people.
C
It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact some clothing companies are already making such clothes.
Fashion brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing items from the collection, including jump-suits, jackets, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles. “We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose(分解). We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment,” said Alia Juma, the company s design director.
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form thread. People can then use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.
According to Juma, it takes 67,000 bottles to create 1 ton of thread. This reduces carbon emissions by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making thread. “4 bottles can make a pillowcase. 5 can make a shirt, 10 a dress and 20 a short coat,” Juma said.
Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But according to Causeartist, a website that focuses on innovation, clothes made from plastic could be even better than nylon and polyester. Plastic thread can be made into different textures, such as cotton, silk or even wool. “The more we learn about recycled fabrics, the more we realize that they work just like other fabrics. You can get a heavier cotton feeling or a silky feeling by weaving the yarns into different textures and using different washing methods. There is actually a lot you can do with this fabric,” Juma said.
The price for the clothes in the new collection ranges from 500 to 3,000 yuan. However, Juma is optimistic that prices will fall when more companies follow the sustainability path taken by her business.
( )28. Why is fashion brand JUMA now making clothes from plastic bottles
A. Because too many bottles are being thrown away.
B. Because the company has advanced technology.
C. Because people are fond of wearing such clothes.
D. Because recycling the bottles is good for the Earth.
( )29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Creating 1 ton of thread in the normal way brings about 4.2 tons of carbon emissions.
B. Making clothes from plastic bottles reduces carbon footprint and is worth the effort.
C. A fashion company can make as many as 300 short coats using only 1 ton of thread.
D. The new way of making thread from plastic bottles is not harmful to the environment.
( )30. What is the author s attitude towards clothes made from plastic bottles
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
( )31. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To advertise fashion brand JUMA. B. To introduce a new type of clothes.
C. To praise fashion companies creativity. D. To express concern about the Earth.
D
During my youth in America s Appalachian mountains, I learned that farmers preferred sons over daughters, largely because boys were better at heavy farm labour. With only 3% of Americans in agriculture today, brain has replaced brawn, yet cultural preferences, like bad habits, are easier to make than break. But history warns repeatedly of the tragic cost of dismissing too casually the gifts of the so-called weaker sex.
About 150 years ago, a village church vicar in Yorkshire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes depended entirely on the sole male heir(继承人), Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature.
Branwell s father and sisters saved their pennies to pack him off to London s Royal Academy of Arts, but within weeks he returned home, a penniless failure. Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would free him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again.
For years the selfless sisters squelched(制止) their own goals, farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support of their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius. As failures multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure. So died hope in the one male—but what of her three selfless sisters
During Branwell s last years, the girls published a book of poetry at their own expense. Even Branwell might have snickered(窃笑): they sold only 2 copies. However, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their pent-up emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition—in reality, less fiction than autobiography! And 19th-century literature was transformed by Anne s Agnes Grey, Emily s Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte s Jane Eyre. But years of sacrifice for Banwell had caused great suffering. Emily was taken ill at her brother s funeral and died within 3 months, aged 29; Anne died 5 months later, aged 30; Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they had been nurtured instead of sacrificed.
No one remembers Branwell s name, much less his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters tragically short lives teach us even more of life than of literature. Their sacrificed genius cries out to us that in modern society we must value children not by their physical strength or sexual gender, but by their integrity, strength, commitment, courage—spiritual qualities abundant in both boys and girls.
( )32. What does the underlined word “brawn” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Human intelligence. B. Tiring labour. C. Physical strength. D. Personal preference.
( )33. Why did the father only pay attention to Branwell s education
A. Because Branwell was the only son of the family.
B. Because Branwell had a gift for literature and art.
C. Because his daughters were not as talented.
D. Because his daughters were self-disciplined.
( )34. What was Branwell s reaction to his repeated failures
A. Stopping working hard. B. Feeling extremely ashamed.
C. Sliding into bad habits. D. Losing heart completely.
( )35. Which might be the best title of the passage
A. The Bronte Sisters Selfless Sacrifice B. Branwell—A Shame of the Bronte Family
C. The Bronte Sisters Great Achievement D. The Bronte Family s Regrettable Tragedy

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。续写词数应为150左右。
When my son was seven years old, he wanted nothing more than to have a friend. Although he tried to make friends, the fact that he was autistic(患自闭症的) and largely non-verbal made other children his age uncomfortable. Almost never had another child accept an invitation for a play date.
My son handled the rejection much better than I did. He told me that he had been praying that he would get a best friend and he knew that his prayers were going to be answered because of what a man told him in a dream.
When the “nice man” in his dream asked him what he wanted in a best friend, my son said that he wanted someone who would always play with him, and who would like to run around a lot but also be calm at times. This best friend would be there and help him feel better when he was sad, would stick by him when he was sick, and would never want to get away from him. When he told the man this, the man smiled and told my son that he had picked out the perfect best friend for him.
The next night he had the dream again. In his dream, the nice man told my son he had picked out a puppy to be his best friend. This puppy would love to play, and would love to run around, but would also want to be calm and just cuddle. When my son was sick, the puppy would stay by him, protecting him. When he was sad, the puppy would lick him, and make him feel better. This puppy would love my son more than anyone or anything else in the world, and would be the very best friend that a boy could have.
When my son told me all of this, I was shocked. My son, who rarely spoke more than a few words at a time, was calmly explaining paragraphs worth of information to me. Despite this, what my son said next shocked me even more.
“Mummy, he also told me that I am getting my puppy today. She is a girl puppy, with black on her back, and brown on her belly. She is not very big, and will run up to me when I see her, jump up on me, and lick my face while she wags her tail. Her name is going to be Zorro, and I love her already. We need to go to the building and get her. She is waiting for me. The man told me.”
Paragraph 1:
Immediately after telling me this, my son yelled and pointed at a building on the side of the road.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years have passed, and Zorro and my son are still best friends.

When Bilibili uploader Lin Xiao had too many bags to carry, he built a robot to address the problem. The robot s name Devil!
The name comes from the background music Devil s Swing. It looks like a suitcase, which can follow Lin everywhere and avoid blocks in its path. Besides carrying bags, it can be used for transport and even charge phones.
The robot has a steel structure and a 3D-printed plastic shell. The brain of the robot is powered by an electronics platform. Although it took eight months to make, Lin admits Devil is not good enough, particularly in its physical stability. Lin presented it in the video just to inspire more young people with the imagination and passion to create.
Lin s passion for robotics began in his first year at high school in 2018, when a teacher discovered his talent for computers and advanced his skills. One year later, he developed a smart home system, which made him understand how his products could help others. As a university freshman now, Lin believes he and his products will make a difference in the future.

21. A 细节理解题。根据Fuchsia Dunlop部分最后一句“From Sichuan and Gansu, to Fujian and Jiangsu, Dunlop shows the diverse food culture in China in a humorous way.”可知,A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China一书会涉及中国饮食文化。
22. C 细节理解题。根据Peter Hessler部分最后一句“These works are mainly about modern life in China...”可知,该作家的纪实作品聚焦当代生活。
23. D 推理判断题。由题干的两个人名可定位到文章最后两个小标题下的内容。Takeuchi Ryo一段最后明示了他希望推动两国人民之间的互相理解;Jerry Kowal一段则指出,他制作了一系列视频来展示并解释(explaining)了中美两国疫情的不同,此处的explaining一词也有暗示增进两国人民相互理解的意味。故D项符合题意。
B
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了最新研制的家用机器人能更好地陪伴人们,尤其是罹患老年痴呆症和孤独症的人群。
24. D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“Although LOVOT can t build a car, it can build a relationship with its owner and provide love, companionship and happiness. In fact, LOVOT is just one of the latest robots meant to help people who are suffering from issues such as loneliness and dementia.”可知,LOVOT能够陪伴感到孤独的人。
25. A 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“LOVOT has a system of sensors that allows it to move freely around a room and respond to things.”可知,使得LOVOT能够作出合理回应的是其内置传感器系统。
26. C 段落大意题。第四段首句指出,像LOVOT这样的机器人正在被运用于“机器人辅助疗法”领域,随后以PARO这一海豹型机器人为例,展示了这类机器人的实际运用场景,故C项“机器宠物的实际应用案例”符合本段主旨。
27. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Nevertheless, if LOVOT and PARO can give us all the love and affection we get from the pets without any of the mess or regular care, we might not be so lonely after all.”可知,新型机器人能像宠物一样给予使用者陪伴却不需要使用者的照料。
C
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了时尚品牌JUMA推出了最新产品:以废弃塑料瓶为原料制作出来的衣服。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第三、四句“‘We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose(分解). We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment,’ said Alia Juma, the company s design director.”可知,该公司推出新产品与保护环境有关。
29. B 推理判断题。根据第四段列举的数据可知,使用废弃塑料瓶为原料制作衣服减少了二氧化碳的排放,节省了水资源,这一尝试是值得的。
30. C 观点态度题。根据全文内容尤其是倒数第二段可知,作者对这种衣服持支持的态度。
31. B 写作意图题。根据文章内容可知,本文主要介绍以废弃塑料瓶为原料制作的新型衣服。
D
本文是一篇议论文。作者以勃朗特三姐妹的悲剧为例,指出重男轻女的社会偏见给女性带来巨大的伤害。
32. C 词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“With only 3% of Americans in agriculture today, brain has replaced brawn, yet cultural preferences, like bad habits, are easier to make than break.”可知,brain和brawn属于相对立的范畴,brain指脑力,故brawn指体力。
33. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的but his hopes depended entirely on the sole male heir(继承人)可知,父亲把注意力都集中在Branwell身上是因为他是家里唯一的儿子。
34. C 推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句“As failures multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure.”可知,遭遇接二连三的失败后,Branwell彻底沉沦,染上坏习惯,最终死去。
35. D 标题归纳题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后两段可知,重男轻女的偏见使得勃朗特三姐妹一直为家庭牺牲,过早离世,铸成令人遗憾的悲剧。

第二节(满分25分)
Paragraph 1:
Immediately after telling me this, my son yelled and pointed at a building on the side of the road. “That s the building where my best friend is, Mummy!” Hearing this, I was seized by astonishment. My son had never asked for a pet and even couldn t read. When we walked into the building—exactly a pet shop, a small dog immediately ran to my son, jumped up, and put her front paws on him. Then she licked his face. She had black on her back, brown on her belly, and a tail wagging faster than I ever saw a tail wag before.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years have passed, and Zorro and my son are still best friends. Although she does not move around as well as she did when she was a puppy, she still only has eyes for her boy, loves him with all of her heart, and sticks by him at all times. When he decides to explore the outdoors, she sticks to him like glue. Although her boy now has human friends, his dog, shown to him in dreams by a “nice man”, will always remain his very best friend.

Over the past 50 years, robots have become a normal part of our everyday lives. They build cars in factories, clean up dirt in the house and dismantle(拆卸) bombs in war zones. However, some inventors are creating a future where robots not only do boring and dangerous jobs but also become a part of our families.
In 2019, Japanese robotics company Groove X introduced LOVOT, a robot that weighs as much as a baby and looks like a mix between a penguin and a bear. Although LOVOT can t build a car, it can build a relationship with its owner and provide love, companionship and happiness. In fact, LOVOT is just one of the latest robots meant to help people who are suffering from issues such as loneliness and dementia.
LOVOT has a system of sensors that allows it to move freely around a room and respond to things. For example, people can rub its belly to lull it to sleep when holding LOVOT. Also, when LOVOT needs a hug, it will find its owner in the house and wait until it is picked up. People quickly develop an emotional bond with LOVOT due to its cute design and lifelike traits.
All over the world, robots like LOVOT are being used for “robot-assisted therapy”. For example, when a robot baby seal named PARO was given to an elderly Australian patient with dementia, the patient spoke for the first time since arriving at the nursing facility. In New Zealand, when dementia patients were given the chance to play with PARO or a real dog, they chose to play with PARO.
Robots like LOVOT and PARO are being developed at the perfect time. Many countries have “aging societies”, meaning the populations of old people outweigh young people, resulting in more people who not only need assistance with things like getting dressed and cooking meals but also friendship and love. Additionally, according to a national research institute in Japan, 40% of all people in that country will be living alone by 2040, meaning loneliness among younger populations may also increase significantly. Nevertheless, if LOVOT and PARO can give us all the love and affection we get from the pets without any of the mess or regular care, we might not be so lonely after all.
( )24. What can the robot LOVOT do
A. It can move around anywhere as a penguin does.
B. It can perform tasks like making cars in the factory.
C. It can be used to cure elderly patients of dementia.
D. It can keep people suffering from loneliness company.
( )25. What enables LOVOT to respond properly
A. Its built-in sensors. B. Its moderate size.
C. Its lifelike feature. D. Its cool appearance.
( )26. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. PARO s appealing to the users.
B. The reason for LOVOT s popularity.
C. The practical application cases of robot pets.
D. Dementia patients preference for PARO.
( )27. What is the advantage of robots like LOVOT and PARO over pets
A. They can help people with their housework.
B. They need less care from the owners.
C. They can comfort people feeling lonely.
D. They can build a stronger bond with people.
C
It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact some clothing companies are already making such clothes.
Fashion brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing items from the collection, including jump-suits, jackets, shirts and dresses, were made from recycled plastic bottles. “We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose(分解). We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment,” said Alia Juma, the company s design director.
Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form thread. People can then use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.
According to Juma, it takes 67,000 bottles to create 1 ton of thread. This reduces carbon emissions by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making thread. “4 bottles can make a pillowcase. 5 can make a shirt, 10 a dress and 20 a short coat,” Juma said.
Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But according to Causeartist, a website that focuses on innovation, clothes made from plastic could be even better than nylon and polyester. Plastic thread can be made into different textures, such as cotton, silk or even wool. “The more we learn about recycled fabrics, the more we realize that they work just like other fabrics. You can get a heavier cotton feeling or a silky feeling by weaving the yarns into different textures and using different washing methods. There is actually a lot you can do with this fabric,” Juma said.
The price for the clothes in the new collection ranges from 500 to 3,000 yuan. However, Juma is optimistic that prices will fall when more companies follow the sustainability path taken by her business.
( )28. Why is fashion brand JUMA now making clothes from plastic bottles
A. Because too many bottles are being thrown away.
B. Because the company has advanced technology.
C. Because people are fond of wearing such clothes.
D. Because recycling the bottles is good for the Earth.
( )29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Creating 1 ton of thread in the normal way brings about 4.2 tons of carbon emissions.
B. Making clothes from plastic bottles reduces carbon footprint and is worth the effort.
C. A fashion company can make as many as 300 short coats using only 1 ton of thread.
D. The new way of making thread from plastic bottles is not harmful to the environment.
( )30. What is the author s attitude towards clothes made from plastic bottles
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
( )31. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To advertise fashion brand JUMA. B. To introduce a new type of clothes.
C. To praise fashion companies creativity. D. To express concern about the Earth.
D
During my youth in America s Appalachian mountains, I learned that farmers preferred sons over daughters, largely because boys were better at heavy farm labour. With only 3% of Americans in agriculture today, brain has replaced brawn, yet cultural preferences, like bad habits, are easier to make than break. But history warns repeatedly of the tragic cost of dismissing too casually the gifts of the so-called weaker sex.
About 150 years ago, a village church vicar in Yorkshire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes depended entirely on the sole male heir(继承人), Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature.
Branwell s father and sisters saved their pennies to pack him off to London s Royal Academy of Arts, but within weeks he returned home, a penniless failure. Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would free him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again.
For years the selfless sisters squelched(制止) their own goals, farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support of their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius. As failures multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure. So died hope in the one male—but what of her three selfless sisters
During Branwell s last years, the girls published a book of poetry at their own expense. Even Branwell might have snickered(窃笑): they sold only 2 copies. However, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their pent-up emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition—in reality, less fiction than autobiography! And 19th-century literature was transformed by Anne s Agnes Grey, Emily s Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte s Jane Eyre. But years of sacrifice for Banwell had caused great suffering. Emily was taken ill at her brother s funeral and died within 3 months, aged 29; Anne died 5 months later, aged 30; Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they had been nurtured instead of sacrificed.
No one remembers Branwell s name, much less his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters tragically short lives teach us even more of life than of literature. Their sacrificed genius cries out to us that in modern society we must value children not by their physical strength or sexual gender, but by their integrity, strength, commitment, courage—spiritual qualities abundant in both boys and girls.
( )32. What does the underlined word “brawn” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Human intelligence. B. Tiring labour. C. Physical strength. D. Personal preference.
( )33. Why did the father only pay attention to Branwell s education
A. Because Branwell was the only son of the family.
B. Because Branwell had a gift for literature and art.
C. Because his daughters were not as talented.
D. Because his daughters were self-disciplined.
( )34. What was Branwell s reaction to his repeated failures
A. Stopping working hard. B. Feeling extremely ashamed.
C. Sliding into bad habits. D. Losing heart completely.
( )35. Which might be the best title of the passage
A. The Bronte Sisters Selfless Sacrifice B. Branwell—A Shame of the Bronte Family
C. The Bronte Sisters Great Achievement D. The Bronte Family s Regrettable Tragedy

When my son was seven years old, he wanted nothing more than to have a friend. Although he tried to make friends, the fact that he was autistic(患自闭症的) and largely non-verbal made other children his age uncomfortable. Almost never had another child accept an invitation for a play date.
My son handled the rejection much better than I did. He told me that he had been praying that he would get a best friend and he knew that his prayers were going to be answered because of what a man told him in a dream.
When the “nice man” in his dream asked him what he wanted in a best friend, my son said that he wanted someone who would always play with him, and who would like to run around a lot but also be calm at times. This best friend would be there and help him feel better when he was sad, would stick by him when he was sick, and would never want to get away from him. When he told the man this, the man smiled and told my son that he had picked out the perfect best friend for him.
The next night he had the dream again. In his dream, the nice man told my son he had picked out a puppy to be his best friend. This puppy would love to play, and would love to run around, but would also want to be calm and just cuddle. When my son was sick, the puppy would stay by him, protecting him. When he was sad, the puppy would lick him, and make him feel better. This puppy would love my son more than anyone or anything else in the world, and would be the very best friend that a boy could have.
When my son told me all of this, I was shocked. My son, who rarely spoke more than a few words at a time, was calmly explaining paragraphs worth of information to me. Despite this, what my son said next shocked me even more.
“Mummy, he also told me that I am getting my puppy today. She is a girl puppy, with black on her back, and brown on her belly. She is not very big, and will run up to me when I see her, jump up on me, and lick my face while she wags her tail. Her name is going to be Zorro, and I love her already. We need to go to the building and get her. She is waiting for me. The man told me.”
Paragraph 1:
Immediately after telling me this, my son yelled and pointed at a building on the side of the road.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years have passed, and Zorro and my son are still best friends.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。
When Bilibili uploader Lin Xiao had too many bags to carry, he built a robot to address the problem. The robot s name Devil!
The name comes from the background music Devil s Swing. It looks like a suitcase, which can follow Lin everywhere and avoid blocks in its path. Besides carrying bags, it can be used for transport and even charge phones.
The robot has a steel structure and a 3D-printed plastic shell. The brain of the robot is powered by an electronics platform. Although it took eight months to make, Lin admits Devil is not good enough, particularly in its physical stability. Lin presented it in the video just to inspire more young people with the imagination and passion to create.
Lin s passion for robotics began in his first year at high school in 2018, when a teacher discovered his talent for computers and advanced his skills. One year later, he developed a smart home system, which made him understand how his products could help others. As a university freshman now, Lin believes he and his products will make a difference in the future.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
A
本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了四位外籍人士从不同的视角对中国文化的理解。
21. A 细节理解题。根据Fuchsia Dunlop部分最后一句“From Sichuan and Gansu, to Fujian and Jiangsu, Dunlop shows the diverse food culture in China in a humorous way.”可知,A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China一书会涉及中国饮食文化。
22. C 细节理解题。根据Peter Hessler部分最后一句“These works are mainly about modern life in China...”可知,该作家的纪实作品聚焦当代生活。
23. D 推理判断题。由题干的两个人名可定位到文章最后两个小标题下的内容。Takeuchi Ryo一段最后明示了他希望推动两国人民之间的互相理解;Jerry Kowal一段则指出,他制作了一系列视频来展示并解释(explaining)了中美两国疫情的不同,此处的explaining一词也有暗示增进两国人民相互理解的意味。故D项符合题意。
B
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了最新研制的家用机器人能更好地陪伴人们,尤其是罹患老年痴呆症和孤独症的人群。
24. D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“Although LOVOT can t build a car, it can build a relationship with its owner and provide love, companionship and happiness. In fact, LOVOT is just one of the latest robots meant to help people who are suffering from issues such as loneliness and dementia.”可知,LOVOT能够陪伴感到孤独的人。

26. C 段落大意题。第四段首句指出,像LOVOT这样的机器人正在被运用于“机器人辅助疗法”领域,随后以PARO这一海豹型机器人为例,展示了这类机器人的实际运用场景,故C项“机器宠物的实际应用案例”符合本段主旨。
27. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Nevertheless, if LOVOT and PARO can give us all the love and affection we get from the pets without any of the mess or regular care, we might not be so lonely after all.”可知,新型机器人能像宠物一样给予使用者陪伴却不需要使用者的照料。
C
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了时尚品牌JUMA推出了最新产品:以废弃塑料瓶为原料制作出来的衣服。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第三、四句“‘We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose(分解). We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment,’ said Alia Juma, the company s design director.”可知,该公司推出新产品与保护环境有关。
29. B 推理判断题。根据第四段列举的数据可知,使用废弃塑料瓶为原料制作衣服减少了二氧化碳的排放,节省了水资源,这一尝试是值得的。

32. C 词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“With only 3% of Americans in agriculture today, brain has replaced brawn, yet cultural preferences, like bad habits, are easier to make than break.”可知,brain和brawn属于相对立的范畴,brain指脑力,故brawn指体力。
33. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的but his hopes depended entirely on the sole male heir(继承人)可知,父亲把注意力都集中在Branwell身上是因为他是家里唯一的儿子。
34. C 推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第二句“As failures multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived: a failure.”可知,遭遇接二连三的失败后,Branwell彻底沉沦,染上坏习惯,最终死去。
35. D 标题归纳题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后两段可知,重男轻女的偏见使得勃朗特三姐妹一直为家庭牺牲,过早离世,铸成令人遗憾的悲剧。

Paragraph 1:
Immediately after telling me this, my son yelled and pointed at a building on the side of the road. “That s the building where my best friend is, Mummy!” Hearing this, I was seized by astonishment. My son had never asked for a pet and even couldn t read. When we walked into the building—exactly a pet shop, a small dog immediately ran to my son, jumped up, and put her front paws on him. Then she licked his face. She had black on her back, brown on her belly, and a tail wagging faster than I ever saw a tail wag before.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years have passed, and Zorro and my son are still best friends. Although she does not move around as well as she did when she was a puppy, she still only has eyes for her boy, loves him with all of her heart, and sticks by him at all times. When he decides to explore the outdoors, she sticks to him like glue. Although her boy now has human friends, his dog, shown to him in dreams by a “nice man”, will always remain his very best friend.
