I grew up in a poor family. This was something I did not realize until I was older. I thought everyone in the city took the bus, because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus. I thought everyone in the city used the food bank. because all my friends’ cupboards were filled with the same government-labeled food that filled my cupboards. We all wore hand-me-down clothes.
Grocery shopping was my first experience understanding that my family was a little different. My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using. I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said that we used food stamps that were helped by the government so we could eat.
In high school, I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor, but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of. My mother taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself. Growing up in poverty taught me perseverance(毅力). I have always believed in myself and my abilities. I knew I could focus on school and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man,I started understanding how my experiences enabled me to be resilient (有韧性的), and how to respect people for who they are as an individual— and not by what they have. I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poverty that do not actually come from the people experiencing it. These judgments come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience. Hardworking , trustworthy, reliable, clean, efficient. successful and disciplined are all words not typically associated with poverty. But those words are very much showerby those experiencing poverty. I am proud to be who I am and proud of where I'm from.
4. Why did the mom use different paper money in the shop ( )
A. To show our difference. B. To spend the extra stamps
C. To support the government. D. To buy food without real money.
5. What can we learn about the mom from Paragraph 3 ( )
A. She was wise. B. She was patient. C. She was single. D. She was educated
6. What's the author's attitude towards to his experience ( )
A. Frightened. B. Annoyed. C. Grateful. D. Confused.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text ( )
A. Struggling With Being Poor B. Lessons From Growing Up Poor
C. Staying Poor Means Staying Foolish D. My Childhood Memories
C
Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data-some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What's more. students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved (涉及) art. To prove that, Hardima n teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read al oud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
The team randomly assigned (随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit— about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art- focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques (技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit."The more we hear something, the more we retain it, "Hardima n says. "It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own. "
8. Why did Mariale Hardima n do the study ( )
A. To prove the importance of art at school.
B. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
C. To find a way to help her students learn better.
D. To two if art might improve science learning.
9. What were the underlined required to do in the experiment
A. Learn three unit s in total.
B. Choose what they'd like to learn.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks.
D. Take two types of classes.
10. What does the underlined word“retain” in the last paragraph mean
A. Remember. B. Express. C. improve. D. Finish.
11.What is the text mainly about
A. Art helps students develop creativity. B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot
C. Art can make science easier to remember. D. Art has something in common with science.
D
From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blind passengers this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Roma and Aedo Project-to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature's beauty through their car windows.
The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through LED lights, which vibrates(震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses Al to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they' re seeing.
“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling, “Federico Russo.-one director of GTB Roma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and in stiuations for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”
The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicie, It's known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It's inclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential action.
12. How does the smart car window work
A. By sorting shaking movements. B. By recording the view with a camera.
C. By translating scenery into vibrations. D. By presenting different shades of colors.
13. What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russ
A. It will have wide application. B. it will be used in schools first.
C. It will be tested around the world. D. It will understand different languages.
14. What difficulty is Ford facing currently
A. How to explore their future business model.
B. How the technology is applied to everyday life.
C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers.
D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips
B. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive
C. Smart Window Lets Blind Passengers Feel Views
D. Technology Makes Blind People's Trip Enjoyable

When meeting someone for the first time, who won't know you habitually frown if you' re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. 16 Here are four more.
Ignore the context
17 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings. People can't really understand someone's nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call — — let people know why you' re tired.
Find meaning in a single gesture
People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you' re in a bad mood and not to be approached. 18 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.
Evaluate you through the biases(偏见)
A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it's because I resemble her favorite aunt. That's how biases can work — the so-called“halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike In that case, their original response to you wouldn't be a good one. 19
Compare your behavior with their culture
Most of culture's values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act、 and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 20 For instance, people's greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.
Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language, Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.
A. Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
B. They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.
C. What they didn't realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.
D. In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others' body language.
E. What's proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another.
F. Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.
G. Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.

Other researchers are more doubtful about 42. (use) the word“friend” for machines. “I think humans need other humans,” says Catie Cuan, who studies robotics at Stanford University. “Curiosity about robots can create 43. kind of closeness but I'd never categorize(归类) that as friendship.” Cuan is also a dancer and choreographer (舞蹈指导).

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。
After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days, we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly. It was my first bicycle. My mind told me I got it when I was seven, who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle from a beautiful material that he called, “Your own car.” Of course I knew he had some magical ability, but I didn't think he could make such an awesome object. He added the seat and the pedals(脚踏板) so that I would not have any problems. My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it.
Afier a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determumed to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it . I felt sorry for other people, but I was proud to have such an capable person as my dad. We found a smooth and open space. My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn't fell. He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind, holding the bicycle.
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。
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.
I turned around and found my dad was not behind.
