After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance.
“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10:30 p. m.,” Bob explained. “By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.”
Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake. “Kelsey kept barking but never left my side,” Bob recalled. “I knew I couldn’t give up and that it was my choice to stay alive.”
Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6:30 p. m. on New Year’s Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn’t have any frostbite (冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep him warm. Dr. Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “His dog really saved him.He was very fortunate.”

For engineer Liang Kaiyu, one thing is clear: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Losing his left leg above the knee in an explosion (爆炸) when testing his self-built motor in January 2020, the 30-year-old used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic limb (假肢) more comfortable and powerful than a real leg.
Since late 2020, he has upgraded his high-tech prosthesis, including fitting a shock absorber and installing a charger port. “Although China has millions of amputees (被截肢者), people with a prosthesis are still a rare sight on the street. My video may, in some way, encourage them,” the man says, adding that prostheses can look cool.
Before the explosion, as an engineer, building things was a hobby in his spare time. When he saw that a foreign engineer had developed an autonomous e-bike, he found the materials online and decided to build one himself. It took him more than a year to finally make it, but he was not satisfied and, in January 2020, he tried to better it. “I tried to use larger parts to make the self-driving function more dependable, but I made a mistake and the explosion occurred,” Liang recalls.
“Physical recovery is the first step. Psychological acceptance matters more, which takes much longer,” Liang says. Liang’s focus is now on making the new leg comfortable. To know about the structure and system of the prosthetics better, he disassembled some secondhand prosthetic limbs that were made in China and abroad, which cost him hundreds of thousands of yuan. “I want to let more people know about these high-tech prosthetics, which are comfortable and safer to wear. It can build confidence with every step,” Liang says.
8. What did Liang do after the explosion?
A. Feel stronger than before. B. Lose his left leg under the knee.
C. Make his prosthetic limb easier to wear. D. Test his self-built motor.
9. Which is more challenging for Liang’s recovery?
A. Treating his broken leg. B. Improving his autonomous e-bike.
C. Making self-driving function more reliable. D. Accepting his situation psychologically.
10. What does the underlined word “disassembled” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Rented. B. Repaired. C. Broke down. D. Took apart.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A man who never gives up B. Engineer builds a new life
C. Disability is not the end of life D. Once an engineer, always an engineer
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了青年工程师梁开宇在一次意外中丧失了左腿,然而他并没有丧失信心,而是利用自己的技术给自己设计一个很舒适的假肢,他也想通过自身的经历来鼓励那些截肢者。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Losing his left leg above the knee in an explosion(爆炸)when testing his self-built motor in January 2020, the 30-year-old used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic limb(假肢)more comfortable and powerful than a real leg. (在2020年1月测试他的自建马达时,他在一次爆炸中失去了膝盖以上的左腿,这位30岁的人利用他的工程技能使他的假肢比真腿更舒适和强大。)”可知,爆炸发生后,他利用自己的工程技能让自己的假肢变得更加舒适,更容易穿戴。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的““Physical recovery is the first step. Psychological acceptance matters more, which takes much longer,” Liang says.(“身体恢复是第一步。心理上的接受更重要,这需要更长的时间,”梁说。)”可知,对他来说更具有挑战性的是他需要从心理上接受他没有了左腿这件事。故选D项。
10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“To know about the structure and system of the prosthetics better, he disassembled some secondhand prosthetic limbs that were made in China and abroad, which cost him hundreds of thousands of yuan.(为了更好地了解假肢的结构和系统,他 disassembled了一些国内外制造的二手假肢,这些假肢花了他几十万元。)”可知,他想了解假肢的结构和系统,所以他将购买到的二手假肢给拆开,此处的disassembled意为“拆开,拆卸”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“For engineer Liang Kaiyu, one thing is clear: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Losing his left leg above the knee in an explosion(爆炸)when testing his self-built motor in January 2020, the 30-year-old used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic limb(假肢)more comfortable and powerful than a real leg.(对于工程师梁开宇来说,有一点很清楚:杀不死你的,会让你变得更强。在2020年1月测试他的自建马达时,他在一次爆炸中失去了膝盖以上的左腿,这位30岁的人利用他的工程技能使他的假肢比真腿更舒适和强大。)”以及第二段的“Since late 2020, he has upgraded his high-tech prosthesis, including fitting a shock absorber and installing a charger port.(自2020年底以来,他已经升级了他的高科技假肢,包括安装减震器和安装充电器端口。)”以及最后一段的“Liang’s focus is now on making the new leg comfortable.(梁现在的重点是让新腿舒服。)”以及““I want to let more people know about these high-tech prosthetics, which are comfortable and safer to wear. It can build confidence with every step,” Liang says. (“我想让更多的人了解这些高科技假肢,戴起来很舒服,也更安全。它能让你每走一步都建立起信心,”梁说。)”可知,本文主要讲述了工程师梁开宇在失去左腿后用自己的技能设计舒适的假肢,不仅增强了自己的信心,也让自己开启新的生活。故选B项。

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’ t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’ s “ Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’ s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “ We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
12. How are social robots different from household robots?
A. They can control their emotions.
B. They are more like humans.
C. They do the normal housework.
D. They respond to users more slowly.
13. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A. Communicate with you and perform operations.
B. Answer your questions and make requests.
C Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
14. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.
A. train employees
B. be our workmates
C. improve technologies
D. take the place of workers
15. What does the passage mainly present?
A. A new design idea of household robots.
B. Marketing strategies for social robots.
C. Information on household robots.
D. An introduction to social robots.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了社会机器人的功能与作用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第二段While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.可知,社会机器人更像人,比如这些机器人被设计能够分辨人的心情是高兴还是悲伤。故选B。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Breazeal的话“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us”可以推断出,社会机器人可以和我们一起做事情。选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了社会机器人的功能与作用。选D。

Eric was a nine-year-old boy who lived with his single mother, Stacey and sister, Lily. They lived a hard life. Eric felt bad for their situation but worse for himself, especially in school.
Eric’s leather boots were worn out. They didn’t protect his feet from the rain, and his socks became totally wet as water went through the holes in his shoes. Stacey attempted to fix the holes but it was no use. Eric still walked to school with that pair of broken shoes. How much he wished he could also have new comfortable and expensive shoes his classmates wore!
One day, Eric returned from school and complained to Stacey, “It was raining today. Water has leaked into my shoes again. I hate my boots! Why can’t you get me new ones?” Stacey was sad and helpless. “I spent our last savings on your sister’s medicine. She’s sick. Eric you know that. You need to act like a responsible big brother!” she answered. Tears welled up in Eric’s eyes. “I hate you!” he shouted. “You only care about Lily! You don’t love me!” Then he cried and ran to his room.
After preparing dinner Stacey went to his room with his dinner plate. “I’m sorry, Eric,” she whispered to comfort him. “We’re going through a very tough journey recently. But I’ll get you new shoes in the future.” However, Eric refused to listen to her.
The next day, when Eric went to class, he took his seat quietly and hid his feet under his chair, as usual. He was embarrassed to show his boots. As the math teacher Mrs Fletcher entered the class, all the students greeted her. “Today, we have a very special friend with us,” she smiled. “Everyone, please welcome Ben, your new classmate.” Soon after, a boy with a pair of crutches(拐杖)entered. The new boy only had one leg. Eric was shocked. He and all his classmates thought how unlucky Ben was and that he must be very shy and sad.
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。
Paragraph 1: At that moment, Mrs Fletcher asked Ben to introduce himself.

Paragraph 2: Inspired by Ben, Eric realized he should appreciate what he had.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
At that moment, Mrs Fletcher asked Ben to introduce himself. To everyone’s surprise, Ben walked to the platform cheerfully and confidently. After greeting them in a joyful voice, he shared many hobbies and his loving family. At the end of his speaking, Ben added, “Even though I have lost a leg, I never feel bad for my situation. I’m grateful for what I have.” All of the students were touched by Ben’s words and clapped for his courage and optimism from the bottom of their hearts.
Inspired by Ben Eric realized he should appreciate what he had. After school, he gladly walked home. When reaching home, he knocked at Mom’s door and apologized sincerely, “Mom, I’m sorry I shouted at you. I should thank you for everything you have done for me and I will take good care of Lily like a responsible big brother.” Hearing what he said, Stacey hugged Eric tightly, with relieved tears pouring down her cheeks silently. From that day on, Eric became confident and didn’t hide his feet under his chair any more.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了小男孩Eric与妈妈和妹妹生活在一起,生活拮据。在一天下雨打湿鞋子后,他在学校因为又湿又破的鞋子很自卑,想要一双新鞋子,但是由于妈妈把钱给生病的妹妹买药了,没有钱给他买鞋子而与妈妈发生争执。后来,班里来了一位只有一只脚却积极乐观的同学Ben,Eric大受启发,和妈妈和解,感激他所拥有的一切,不再因为鞋破掉了而自卑,而是自信面对一切。

For engineer Liang Kaiyu, one thing is clear: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Losing his left leg above the knee in an explosion (爆炸) when testing his self-built motor in January 2020, the 30-year-old used his engineering skills to make his prosthetic limb (假肢) more comfortable and powerful than a real leg.
Since late 2020, he has upgraded his high-tech prosthesis, including fitting a shock absorber and installing a charger port. “Although China has millions of amputees (被截肢者), people with a prosthesis are still a rare sight on the street. My video may, in some way, encourage them,” the man says, adding that prostheses can look cool.
Before the explosion, as an engineer, building things was a hobby in his spare time. When he saw that a foreign engineer had developed an autonomous e-bike, he found the materials online and decided to build one himself. It took him more than a year to finally make it, but he was not satisfied and, in January 2020, he tried to better it. “I tried to use larger parts to make the self-driving function more dependable, but I made a mistake and the explosion occurred,” Liang recalls.
“Physical recovery is the first step. Psychological acceptance matters more, which takes much longer,” Liang says. Liang’s focus is now on making the new leg comfortable. To know about the structure and system of the prosthetics better, he disassembled some secondhand prosthetic limbs that were made in China and abroad, which cost him hundreds of thousands of yuan. “I want to let more people know about these high-tech prosthetics, which are comfortable and safer to wear. It can build confidence with every step,” Liang says.
8. What did Liang do after the explosion?
A. Feel stronger than before. B. Lose his left leg under the knee.
C. Make his prosthetic limb easier to wear. D. Test his self-built motor.
9. Which is more challenging for Liang’s recovery?
A. Treating his broken leg. B. Improving his autonomous e-bike.
C. Making self-driving function more reliable. D. Accepting his situation psychologically.
10. What does the underlined word “disassembled” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Rented. B. Repaired. C. Broke down. D. Took apart.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A A man who never gives up B. Engineer builds a new life
C. Disability is not the end of life D. Once an engineer, always an engineer

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’ t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’ s “ Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’ s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “ We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
12. How are social robots different from household robots?
A. They can control their emotions.
B. They are more like humans.
C. They do the normal housework.
D They respond to users more slowly.
13. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A. Communicate with you and perform operations.
B. Answer your questions and make requests.
C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.
14. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______.
A. train employees
B. be our workmates
C. improve technologies
D. take the place of workers
15. What does the passage mainly present?
A. A new design idea of household robots.
B. Marketing strategies for social robots.
C. Information on household robots.
D. An introduction to social robots.

Eric was a nine-year-old boy who lived with his single mother, Stacey and sister, Lily. They lived a hard life. Eric felt bad for their situation but worse for himself, especially in school.
Eric’s leather boots were worn out. They didn’t protect his feet from the rain, and his socks became totally wet as water went through the holes in his shoes. Stacey attempted to fix the holes but it was no use. Eric still walked to school with that pair of broken shoes. How much he wished he could also have new comfortable and expensive shoes his classmates wore!
One day, Eric returned from school and complained to Stacey, “It was raining today. Water has leaked into my shoes again. I hate my boots! Why can’t you get me new ones?” Stacey was sad and helpless. “I spent our last savings on your sister’s medicine. She’s sick. Eric you know that. You need to act like a responsible big brother!” she answered. Tears welled up in Eric’s eyes. “I hate you!” he shouted. “You only care about Lily! You don’t love me!” Then he cried and ran to his room.
After preparing dinner, Stacey went to his room with his dinner plate. “I’m sorry, Eric,” she whispered to comfort him. “We’re going through a very tough journey recently. But I’ll get you new shoes in the future.” However, Eric refused to listen to her.
The next day, when Eric went to class, he took his seat quietly and hid his feet under his chair, as usual. He was embarrassed to show his boots. As the math teacher Mrs Fletcher entered the class, all the students greeted her. “Today, we have a very special friend with us,” she smiled. “Everyone, please welcome Ben, your new classmate.” Soon after, a boy with a pair of crutches(拐杖)entered. The new boy only had one leg. Eric was shocked. He and all his classmates thought how unlucky Ben was and that he must be very shy and sad.
