The ability to walk is the sort of thing many people take for granted, but for Ella Weiske, it’s a monumental achievement. Ella was born with cerebral palsy （脑瘫）and requires a wheelchair to get around, yet she always dreamed of walking across the stage to collect her high school diploma on her own two feet.
In spring of 2023, Ella finally got that chance! The teenager spent months before her graduation from Ripon High School in Wisconsin building strength and practicing walking on an innovative new device called a Trexo. All of her efforts were worth it when she stepped onto the stage to a standing ovation（起立鼓掌）from teachers and students.
Walking on graduation day was important to Ella so her family raised $45,000 with an online fundraiser to buy the Trexo device, which is a wearable robot designed to help children walk. The device is controlled by a tablet, and it helps Ella gently move her legs. She can adjust how much support is needed, walk angles, and speed.
Ella says just the feeling of her feet hitting the floor makes her happy, but it’s the independence the device offers that gets her really excited. She dreams of hanging around downtown, going to her brother’s baseball games, and opening up her world with help from her robotic legs. But first, graduation!
On the big day, Ella was able to use her Trexo device to walk across the stage with the other members of the class of 2023. The entire school body was on their feet, cheering for her, as she collected her diploma（毕业文凭）with help from her sister, Liz Weiske. It was an emotional moment for the teachers and students who have supported Ella for the past 4 years.
Just graduating is an achievement on its own, but Ella’s life-changing walk meant so much to her, and to everyone who knows and loves her. We’re so proud of Ella for working hard to accomplish her goals.
24. What words can best describe Ella Weiske
A. Caring and responsible. B. Honest and reliable.
C. Ambitious and hardworking. D. Intelligent and creative.
25. What did Ella gain from the help of the Trexo device
A. A responsibility to help others. B. A sense of living independently.
C. An ability to deliver a public speech. D. An opportunity for further education.
26. How did the school staff feel about Ella’s walking on the stage
A. Frustrated. B. Doubtful. C. Inspiring. D. Horrible.
27. What lesson can we learn from Ella’s experience
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Misfortune may be an actual blessing. D. Everything is possible to a willing mind.
C
Animal and plant species are disappearing at frightening rates. The problem has led to efforts to “rewild” places where such life existed before human development, pollution and climate change forced it out. The American city of Detroit is an example of how human actions can increase rewilding, which generally means helping natural systems in damaged locations, removing dams or building tunnels to reconnect animal pathways cut by roads.
Detroit’s population reached a high of 1.8 million in the 1950s. Then the population began dropping. By 2000, there were fewer than one million people living in the city. Thousands of houses and other buildings were left empty over the years. Some structures were destroyed, leaving empty areas that plants and animals regained as habitats. Nonprofit groups have also planted trees and community gardens in these areas. Anti-pollution laws and government-supported cleanups made nearby rivers better for fish and native plants.
Now, Detroit is home to 300 bird species and is a busy visiting place for ducks and others during migration. Unlike most big cities, its population is decreasing but its streets and buildings remain in place. And there are many kinds of habitats, including large lakes, rivers and human neighborhoods. Detroit’s parklands are so quiet that people don’t even know they’re in the city.
“It used to be that you had to go to some remote location to get exposure to nature,” said John Hartig, a professor of University of Windsor. “Now that’s not the case. Like it or not, rewilding will occur. The question is how we can prepare communities and environments to embrace the presence of more and more wildlife. After all, many city people have lost their tolerance to live with wildlife. To really make a difference in dealing with the biodiversity crisis, you’re going to have to gain people’s favor.”
28. What does the author want to tell us by the example of Detroit
A. It’s government-supported efforts that really matter.
B. Humans’ efforts can make a difference in rewilding.
C. Humans are to blame for the worsening environment.
D. It’s hard for humans and wildlife to live in harmony.
29. What might have happened in Detroit at the beginning of 21st century
A. The city was overpopulated. B. More community gardens disappeared.
C. Many buildings were abandoned. D. The environment was badly damaged.
30. What can we infer about current Detroit from the text
A. It is a big city crowded with tourists and bird species.
B. Tourists don’t show any interest in its quiet surroundings.
C. It’s become a center for those who study animals and plants.
D. It’s turned into a place where people can get close to nature.
31. What does the underlined word “embrace” in the last paragraph mean
A. Accept. B. Delay. C. Imagine. D. Avoid.
D
Imagine if there were a robotic fish that filtered （过滤）microplastic out of the water as it swam.
Well, now there is one, and it’s the physical version of the winning concept in the first-ever Natural Robotics Contest.
Announced this May, the University of Surrey’s Natural Robots Contest invited members of the public to submit their ideas for animal-or-plant-inspired robots capable of performing activities that would help the world.
Plans called for experts from various British and European research institutes to select what they thought was the best concept, which would subsequently be made into a functional type. Engineers would proceed to further develop the technology.
The winning entry turned out to be the plastic-collecting Robo-fish, designed by chemistry undergrad Eleanor Mackintosh — who is a University of Surrey student. Mackintosh said, “Fish’s gills（鳃）are an incredible mechanism in nature that are specialized to filter oxygen into the bloodstream — so I adapted my design from that, with the purpose of addressing the plastic pollution in the water.”
The robot swims by moving its tail, holding its mouth wide open to collect water and microplastic in an internal cavity（腔）as it does so. Once that cavity is full, the robot closes its mouth, opens its gill flaps（鳃盖）, and pushes the water out through those flaps by raising the floor of the cavity. A fine net attached to the gill flaps allows the water to pass through, but catches the microplastic.
In its current physical form, the 50-cm-long Robo-fish collects microplastic as small as 2 millimeters. It also wears onboard sensors to monitor underwater environment, plus it uses an IMU （inertial measurement unit）device to track its movements within the water.
That said future style could catch much smaller microplastic. Other possible improvements include a faster, more dynamic body shape, a more powerful tail, and the ability to swim autonomously— the current type works by hard-wired remote control.
32. How do the participants attend the Natural Robotics Contest
A. By submitting the concepts of robots. B. By selecting the best concept of robots.
C. By developing the technology of robots. D. By making the physical version of robots.
33. What inspired Mackintosh to design the robot
A. The body shape of the fish. B. The function of fish’s gills.
C. The enthusiasm for robots. D. The plastic pollution in the water.
34. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 5
A. How the robotic fish filters microplastic. B. How the robotic fish is further improved.
C. Why Mackintosh’s robot won the contest. D. What materials the Robo-fish is made of.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. The first bio-inspired robotics contest B. The one-size-fits-all solution to plastics
C. An autonomously operating robotic fish D. A student-designed plastic-collecting fish

The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, filled with anticipation and excitement. The sun shone brightly overhead, casting a warm glow on the track where athletes from various grades prepared for their events. Among them, the girl’s 100-meter race was highly anticipated, drawing the attention of everyone present.
Students and staff members, dressed in colorful school uniforms or casual wear, chatted lively as they settled onto the wooden benches that lined the stadium. Some were holding up flags and posters supporting their friends or favorite runners, while others had cameras ready to capture the thrilling moments that were about to unfold.
Sarah stood at the starting line of the 100-meter dash. She had trained tirelessly for months, sacrificing weekends and evenings to perfect her technique and speed. The roar of the crowd echoed in her ears, a mix of excitement and anxiety that threatened to overwhelm her.
Sarah looked at her competitors. Among them was Emma, her childhood friend. They had been competing against each other since they were kids, and today’s race was no exception. As the referee（裁判）raised his gun, signaling the start of the race, Sarah took a deep breath and positioned herself for the race ahead.
The sound of the starting gun broke the silence, and Sarah exploded off the blocks, her legs pumping quickly beneath her. She could hear Emma’s footsteps close behind her, a reminder that this race would be far from easy. With every step, Sarah pushed herself harder, ignoring the burning sensation in her lungs and muscles. Halfway through the race, she felt a sharp pain shoot through her ankle, but she bit her teeth tightly and continued running.
As she approached the finish line, Sarah realized she was neck and neck with Emma. In that moment, everything seemed to slow down, and she could see the determination in Emma’s eyes. With a final burst of energy, Sarah crossed the finish line just milliseconds before Emma, collapsing onto the track as tiredness took over.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The crowd erupted in cheers, and Sarah lay on the ground, gasping（喘气）for air. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the days that followed, Sarah reflected on the race and what it meant to her. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
