For the first time in the competition’s history， two athletes are sharing a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships.
The USA’s Katie Moon and Australia’s Nina Kennedy found themselves in a difficult situation during the women’s pole vault （撑竿跳高） final.They both cleared 4.90 meters， but neither managed to clear 4.95 meters on any of their three attempts.
Kennedy says she looked at Moon and said， “Hey， girl， maybe you want to share this？”
“And the relief on her face — and you could see it on my face — and it was mutual.And yeah， absolutely incredible to share a medal with Katie Moon.You know， we’ve been friends for so long， so it’s super special，” Kennedy told reporters after the final.
Thousands of fans were on their feet at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest， Hungary， for Day 5 of the competition， which hosts almost 2，000 athletes from 192 countries.The dramatic event lasted two hours and 10 minutes.Katie Moon told FloTrack that as the final progressed， it became clear that very little separated the two athletes.
“As the competition was going， I kept thinking， ‘I don’t want this to go to a jump-off （加赛）.’” Moon told sports journalist Anderson Emerole， “This competition was arguably the toughest battle I’d say that I’ve had.It was very emotionally draining （消耗）， and I think that’s why both of us were feeling like， ‘We’re not really feeling the jump-off right now.’”
It was Moon’s second consecutive gold medal at the World Championships.She also won Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2020.With a personal record of 4.95 meters， Moon appeared to be the favorite.
Kennedy， however， did not back down.Not only did she set a new personal record， but she also broke the Australian record by eight centimeters when she sailed over the 4.90-meter high bar.She held back tears after the career-defining leap.
“It was a miracle to get the gold.I think a miracle happened tonight，” Kennedy told reporters.
24.What did Nina Kennedy want Katie Moon to do？
A.To continue the competition. B.To give up the competition.
C.To share the gold medal. D.To accept a silver medal.
25.What was Katie Moon’s reaction to Nina Kennedy’s proposal？
A.A sense of joy. B.A sense of loss.
C.A little surprised. D.A little disappointed.
26.What can we infer about Nina Kennedy and Katie Moon？
A.They felt tired physically and mentally. B.They didn’t take competition seriously.
C.They were looking forward to a jump-off. D.They have won a gold medal for the first time.
27.What was the Australian record for the women’s pole vault？
A.4.80 meters. B.4.82 meters.

What’s safer？ Using a numeric PIN code （数字密码） to unlock your smartphone or relying on a lock-screen pattern？
Newly-released research suggests that， at least when someone close by could be looking over your shoulder， you might be safer with an old-fashioned PIN.
The research by the United States Naval Academy and the University of Maryland tested what could best secure smartphones from so-called “shoulder surfing attacks”.So， if you’re worried about someone looking over your shoulder while you unlock your phone， would you be wiser to use a PIN or a pattern？
According to this research at least， the answer to that question is pretty clear.
Those who have a single observation of your screen as you unlock it with a swipe （滑动） pattern will be successful in knowing it 64.2% of the time.Security can be improved somewhat by removing feedback lines on the pattern lock （35.3% success rate for shoulder surfers）.
By comparison， use of a six-digit PIN greatly reduces the chances for an attacker to determine how to unlock your smartphone， with just 10.8% successful attacks.In tests， viewers were able to determine the users’ lock screen patterns from up to six feet away， from a variety of different angles， even after a single viewing.
Indeed， when it comes to safety， past research has determined that an unlock pattern is about the same as a three-digit PIN — something I hope that none of us would rely upon.
The researchers’ conclusion is that PIN of six digits or more is the most secure defence against shoulder surfing attacks， and while both types of pattern lock are poor， patterns without lines provide greater security.The length of the input also has an impact.
Unsurprisingly， the research confirmed that phones with larger screens were found to provide less security against shoulder-surfing attacks， and longer swipe patterns or longer PIN codes make life harder for criminals.
28.What did the researchers focus on？
A.What numeric PIN codes people use. B.What lock-screen patterns people use.
C.Reasons for “shoulder surfing attacks”. D.Ways to deal with “shoulder surfing attacks”.
29.What do we learn about “shoulder surfing attacks”？
A.They are only from strangers. B.They are a threat to our privacy.
C.They are a kind of physical attack. D.They are not so common in our lives.
30.Which of the following is the safest？
A.A six-digit PIN. B.A three-digit PIN.
C.A lock-screen pattern with lines. D.A lock-screen pattern without lines.
31.The last paragraph can be seen as .
A.the final conclusion B.a summary of the text
C.the author’s suggestion D.some additional information
D
Current advances in robots and other digital technologies are causing anxiety among workers and in the media.There is a great deal of fear， for example， that robots will not only destroy existing jobs， but also be better at most or all of the tasks required in the future.
Our research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） has shown that that’s at best a half-truth.While it is true that robots are getting very good at a lot of jobs and tasks， there are still many categories in which humans perform better.
And， perhaps more importantly， robots and other forms of automation can aid in the creation of new and better jobs for humans.As a result， while we do expect that some jobs will disappear， other jobs will be created and some existing jobs will become more valuable.
There are three areas where humans have a distinct advantage over machines.These are areas that are key to job creation.
Creative efforts： These include creative writing， entrepreneurship， and scientific discovery.These can be highly paid and rewarding jobs.There is no better time to be an entrepreneur with an insight than today.
Social interactions： Robots do not have the kinds of emotional intelligence that humans have.Motivated people who are sensitive to the needs of others make great managers， leaders， salespeople， caretakers， nurses， and teachers.
Physical dexterity （灵巧）： If you have ever seen a robot try to pick up a pencil you see how clumsy and slow they are， compared to a human child.
Workers， for their part， have to aim for the jobs least likely to be overtaken by robots or other machines.They have to commit to a lifetime of practicing and updating their skills by， for example， taking extra courses online and in classrooms.Lifetime learning and continued training and retraining are key.
32.What does the author mean by saying “that’s at best a half-truth” in Paragraph 2？
A.People can’t do all jobs. B.Some new jobs will be created.
C.Robots can do more and more jobs. D.Some jobs won’t be replaced by robots.
33.Which proverb can best express the author’s idea in Paragraph 3？
A.If you can dream it， you can do it. B.What goes around comes around.
C.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D.When one door closes， another door opens.
34.What do the three areas in the passage have in common？
A.They will disappear in the near future. B.They can’t be replaced by robots easily.
C.They can hardly be done well by people. D.They will be mastered by robots very soon.
35.What’s the author’s advice for workers？
A.Focus on the three areas he mentioned. B.Master the skills at operating machines.
C.Keep improving oneself through learning. D.Find a job that’s related to high technology.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If it’s so important to have a purpose in our lives， how do you do it？ The best way I’ve found is to write a personal mission statement.A personal mission statement is like a personal motto that states what your life is about.It is like the plan for your life.Countries have constitutions， which function just like a mission statement.And most companies， like Apple and Pepsi， have mission statements. 36
So why not write your own personal mission statement？ Many teens have. 37 Some are as long as a whole Bible passage and some are as short as a 140-character Tweet.Some are poems and some are rap lyrics.Some teens use their favourite quotes as a mission statement.Others use a picture or a photograph.
38 Many things.The most important thing it will do is open your eyes to what’s really important to you and help you make decisions accordingly.
A personal mission statement is like a tree with deep roots. 39 Standing like a tree with deep roots helps you survive all of the storms of life that beat you up.As you’ve probably noticed already， life is anything but stable.
40 Your family has to move.Your mom loses her job.The country is at war.A family member dies.While everything about you changes， a personal mission statement can be your deep-rooted tree that never moves.You can deal with change if you have an immovable tree to hang on to.
A.Not everyone has a mission.
B.They come in all types and varieties.
C.But I think they work best with people.
D.Think about all of the events you can’t control.
E.So what can writing a mission statement do for you？
F.Why do so many people live their lives in a very blind way？
G.It’s stable and it’s not going anywhere， but it’s also alive and continually growing.

My world was in a constant state of change and I was having trouble keeping up.Life with Mom， Dad， and my sister， Linda， had always been predictable.My grades were good， and Linda and I got well.We played together and fought together， the way sisters do.As the older one， I was used to being told to set an example，which wasn’t too difficult， since Linda was only two years younger， and she usually wanted to do anything I did， anyway.Life was pretty good.
Then the changes started coming.
First came a family meeting with surprising news that would change my world.We were moving.Our new home would be across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge， in another borough of New York City.We were leaving the only home I had ever known.Even worse， it would occur right before the beginning of sixth grade.Not only would I not be able to graduate from elementary school with my friends， but I would have to start middle school with a class full of kids who had known each other， and bonded， since kindergarten.Where would that leave me？
I spent the summer adjusting to a new neighbourhood， literally being the new kid on the block.Making friends didn’t come easily to me， and it didn’t help being the eldest child of immigrant parents.I was different， and different is the last thing any middle schooler wants to be.The fear of starting a new school hung over me like a black cloud， damaging each summer day.
The first day of school arrived very quickly.I entered my new classroom trying very hard not to appear as scared as I felt， but it wasn’t easy.Twenty-eight faces turned to look up at me as I followed the Assistant Principal into the room.They all looked so cool， and some of the girls even wore make-up.How would I ever fit in？ I was out of touch in every way possible.I wasn’t allowed to wear make-up or nail polish.Most of my clothes were handmade， sewn by my mother and grandmother.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。
Mr Bernstein welcomed me to the class and introduced me to my new seatmate — Janet.

（Text 10）
W：Last night I had a frightening experience. While I was eating dinner at the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I’m in a hurry， the manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place was crowded and that made the situation dangerous， as everyone was determined to get out first. To make matters worse， an elderly woman， who must have weighed 300 pounds， had just come up to the entrance， which was also the only exit. In the meantime， I remembered that I had left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it， but I had to do it. When I finally got outside， I saw that the police bomb team had arrived and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a false alarm and the crowd went away.

第一节
We Should Chase Tech Stars
Nowadays many young people are crazy about chasing popular entertainment stars.It seems to me that it is more worthwhile for us to chase those outstanding scientists instead of pop stars.
Undoubtedly， it is science and technology that lead to each and every human progress.Without those scientists’ sacrifices and contributions， we couldn’t have lived a happy life today.What’s more， we can only develop our country through science and education.The Chinese people have stood up and got rich.At present， we are on the road to become strong， and without first-class science and technology， it would be impossible for China to become a strong nation in the world.
第二节
Mr Bernstein welcomed me to the class and introduced me to my new seatmate — Janet.I took my seat and Janet greeted me with a warm smile.There wasn’t time for conversation before Mr Bernstein began to rapidly detail the requirements for our class.I wrote as fast as possible， stealing occasional peeks at Janet.What was she like？ Would she accept me？ I would find out the answers soon enough， during lunch period.
We walked to the cafeteria， sat together， and opened our lunch bags.Between bites of our sandwiches， we began to ask each other questions.Her responses were not at all what I expected.Home？ It turned out that we lived about a fifteen-minute walk apart.Upbringing？ Her parents were as strict as mine： no make-up.The smiles on both our faces broadened with each new exchange.It turned out that Janet was a very nice girl and we felt like old friends at the first meeting because we had so much in common.

（Text 10）
W：Last night I had a frightening experience. While I was eating dinner at
the fast food restaurant where I normally go when I’m in a hurry， the
manager announced that everybody had to leave the building. The place
was crowded and that made the situation dangerous， as everyone was
determined to get out first. To make matters worse， an elderly woman，
who must have weighed 300 pounds， had just come up to the entrance，
which was also the only exit. In the meantime， I remembered that I had
left my purse in the chair I had been occupying when the announcement
was made. It was certainly not convenient to return and get it， but I had
to do it.
When I finally got outside， I saw that the police bomb team had arrived
and the men were studying the area. They finally found out that it was all a
false alarm and the crowd went away.

For the first time in the competition’s history， two athletes are
sharing a gold medal at the World Athletics Championships.
The USA’s Katie Moon and Australia’s Nina Kennedy found
themselves in a difficult situation during the women’s pole vault （撑竿
跳高） final.They both cleared 4.90 meters， but neither managed to
clear 4.95 meters on any of their three attempts.
Kennedy says she looked at Moon and said， “Hey， girl， maybe
you want to share this？”
“And the relief on her face — and you could see it on my face —
and it was mutual.And yeah， absolutely incredible to share a medal with
Katie Moon.You know， we’ve been friends for so long， so it’s super
special，” Kennedy told reporters after the final.
Thousands of fans were on their feet at the National Athletics Centre
in Budapest， Hungary， for Day 5 of the competition， which hosts
almost 2，000 athletes from 192 countries.The dramatic event lasted two
hours and 10 minutes.Katie Moon told FloTrack that as the final
progressed， it became clear that very little separated the two athletes.
“As the competition was going， I kept thinking， ‘I don’t want
this to go to a jump-off （加赛）.’” Moon told sports journalist
Anderson Emerole， “This competition was arguably the toughest battle
I’d say that I’ve had.It was very emotionally draining （消耗）， and
I think that’s why both of us were feeling like， ‘We’re not really
feeling the jump-off right now.’”
It was Moon’s second consecutive gold medal at the World
Championships.She also won Olympic gold in Tokyo in 2020.With a
personal record of 4.95 meters， Moon appeared to be the favorite.
Kennedy， however， did not back down.Not only did she set a new
personal record， but she also broke the Australian record by eight
centimeters when she sailed over the 4.90-meter high bar.She held back
tears after the career-defining leap.
“It was a miracle to get the gold.I think a miracle happened
tonight，” Kennedy told reporters.

What’s safer？ Using a numeric PIN code （数字密码） to unlock
your smartphone or relying on a lock-screen pattern？
Newly-released research suggests that， at least when someone close
by could be looking over your shoulder， you might be safer with an old-
fashioned PIN.
The research by the United States Naval Academy and the University
of Maryland tested what could best secure smartphones from so-called
“shoulder surfing attacks”.So， if you’re worried about someone
looking over your shoulder while you unlock your phone， would you be
wiser to use a PIN or a pattern？
According to this research at least， the answer to that question is
pretty clear.
Those who have a single observation of your screen as you unlock it
with a swipe （滑动） pattern will be successful in knowing it 64.2% of
the time.Security can be improved somewhat by removing feedback lines
on the pattern lock （35.3% success rate for shoulder surfers）.
By comparison， use of a six-digit PIN greatly reduces the chances
for an attacker to determine how to unlock your smartphone， with just
10.8% successful attacks.In tests， viewers were able to determine the
users’ lock screen patterns from up to six feet away， from a variety of
different angles， even after a single viewing.
Indeed， when it comes to safety， past research has determined that
an unlock pattern is about the same as a three-digit PIN — something I
hope that none of us would rely upon.
The researchers’ conclusion is that PIN of six digits or more is the
most secure defence against shoulder surfing attacks， and while both
types of pattern lock are poor， patterns without lines provide greater
security.The length of the input also has an impact.
Unsurprisingly， the research confirmed that phones with larger
screens were found to provide less security against shoulder-surfing
attacks， and longer swipe patterns or longer PIN codes make life harder
for criminals.

Current advances in robots and other digital technologies are causing
anxiety among workers and in the media.There is a great deal of fear， for
example， that robots will not only destroy existing jobs， but also be
better at most or all of the tasks required in the future.
Our research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT）
has shown that that’s at best a half-truth.While it is true that robots are
getting very good at a lot of jobs and tasks， there are still many categories
in which humans perform better.
And， perhaps more importantly， robots and other forms of
automation can aid in the creation of new and better jobs for humans.As a
result， while we do expect that some jobs will disappear， other jobs will
be created and some existing jobs will become more valuable.
There are three areas where humans have a distinct advantage over
machines.These are areas that are key to job creation.
Creative efforts： These include creative writing，
entrepreneurship， and scientific discovery.These can be highly paid and
rewarding jobs.There is no better time to be an entrepreneur with an
insight than today.
Social interactions： Robots do not have the kinds of emotional
intelligence that humans have.Motivated people who are sensitive to the
needs of others make great managers， leaders， salespeople，
caretakers， nurses， and teachers.
Physical dexterity （灵巧）： If you have ever seen a robot try to
pick up a pencil you see how clumsy and slow they are， compared to a
human child.
Workers， for their part， have to aim for the jobs least likely to be
overtaken by robots or other machines.They have to commit to a lifetime
of practicing and updating their skills by， for example， taking extra
courses online and in classrooms.Lifetime learning and continued training
and retraining are key.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最
佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If it’s so important to have a purpose in our lives， how do you
do it？ The best way I’ve found is to write a personal mission
statement.A personal mission statement is like a personal motto that
states what your life is about.It is like the plan for your life.Countries
have constitutions， which function just like a mission statement.And
most companies， like Apple and Pepsi， have mission
statements. 36
So why not write your own personal mission statement？ Many
teens have. 37 Some are as long as a whole Bible passage and
some are as short as a 140-character Tweet.Some are poems and some
are rap lyrics.Some teens use their favourite quotes as a mission
statement.Others use a picture or a photograph.
38 Many things.The most important thing it will do is open
your eyes to what’s really important to you and help you make
decisions accordingly.
A personal mission statement is like a tree with deep

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了身为高铁列车员的

种志愿者活动。
本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了身为高铁列车员的
“90后”姑娘白廷桂，她连续十年守护旅客春运平安出行并从事各
种志愿者活动。
56. an 考查冠词。这里表示白廷桂是“一名”高铁列车员，且
attendant的发音以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。
57. travel（l）ing 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，这里应用非
谓语动词作后置定语，修饰前面的名词短语elderly passengers，
travel与elderly passengers之间是主谓关系，因此用动词-ing形式。
58. which 考查定语从句。设空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，
应用关系代词which指代前面整个句子的内容，也就是“她一看到
老年乘客就想起自己的爷爷奶奶”这一事实。
59. with 考查介词。be/become familiar with是固定搭配，表示
“对……熟悉”。

For the last three years of being a volunteer，表示一个从过去延续到

Her，因此应用名词形式作其宾语。
63. is 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句主语为Her involvement
而非volunteer activities，因此应用单数，且根据语境可知，应用
一般现在时。
64. serving/to serve 考查非谓语动词。动词continue后面既可以用
动词不定式也可以用动词-ing形式。
65. individuals 考查名词复数。根据语境可知，这里指铁路行业
的众多个体，因此应用名词的复数形式。

We Should Chase Tech Stars
Nowadays many young people are crazy about chasing popular
entertainment stars.It seems to me that it is more worthwhile for us to
chase those outstanding scientists instead of pop stars.
Undoubtedly， it is science and technology that lead to each and
every human progress.Without those scientists’ sacrifices and
contributions， we couldn’t have lived a happy life today.What’s
more， we can only develop our country through science and
education.The Chinese people have stood up and got rich.At present， we
are on the road to become strong， and without first-class science and
technology， it would be impossible for China to become a strong nation
in the world.
第二节（满分25分）
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 world was in a constant state of change and I was having trouble
keeping up.Life with Mom， Dad， and my sister， Linda， had always
been predictable.My grades were good， and Linda and I got well.We
played together and fought together， the way sisters do.As the older
one， I was used to being told to set an example，which wasn’t too
difficult， since Linda was only two years younger， and she usually
wanted to do anything I did， anyway.Life was pretty good.
Then the changes started coming.
First came a family meeting with surprising news that would change
my world.We were moving.Our new home would be across the
Verrazano-Narrows Bridge， in another borough of New York City.We
were leaving the only home I had ever known.Even worse， it would
occur right before the beginning of sixth grade.Not only would I not be
able to graduate from elementary school with my friends， but I would
have to start middle school with a class full of kids who had known each
other， and bonded， since kindergarten.Where would that leave me？
I spent the summer adjusting to a new neighbourhood， literally being
the new kid on the block.Making friends didn’t come easily to me， and
it didn’t help being the eldest child of immigrant parents.I was
different， and different is the last thing any middle schooler wants to
be.The fear of starting a new school hung over me like a black cloud，
damaging each summer day.
The first day of school arrived very quickly.I entered my new
classroom trying very hard not to appear as scared as I felt， but it wasn’t
easy.Twenty-eight faces turned to look up at me as I followed the Assistant
Principal into the room.They all looked so cool， and some of the girls
even wore make-up.How would I ever fit in？ I was out of touch in every
way possible.I wasn’t allowed to wear make-up or nail polish.Most of
my clothes were handmade， sewn by my mother and grandmother.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Mr Bernstein welcomed me to the class and introduced me to my
new seatmate — Janet.
We walked to the cafeteria， sat together， and opened our lunch
bags.
参考范文：
Mr Bernstein welcomed me to the class and introduced me to my new
seatmate — Janet.I took my seat and Janet greeted me with a warm
smile.There wasn’t time for conversation before Mr Bernstein began to
rapidly detail the requirements for our class.I wrote as fast as possible，
stealing occasional peeks at Janet.What was she like？ Would she accept
me？ I would find out the answers soon enough， during lunch period.
We walked to the cafeteria， sat together， and opened our lunch
bags.Between bites of our sandwiches， we began to ask each other
questions.Her responses were not at all what I expected.Home？ It turned
out that we lived about a fifteen-minute walk apart.Upbringing？ Her
parents were as strict as mine： no make-up.The smiles on both our faces
broadened with each new exchange.It turned out that Janet was a very nice
girl and we felt like old friends at the first meeting because we had so much
in common.
