Not being able to fully express herself made it difficult for her to register her children at school and to help them with their homework.
However, that all changed soon. She learned to speak English by joining Toastmasters, a famous speaking organization. She learned English by listening to speeches that people made. She found it a very enjoyable and enriching experience. Julia has always felt welcome in Canada, which makes it a special place for her. The warmth and respect she received from Canadians left, and lasting impact on her. In times of need, she always found relief in the support of her new found community.

4 Modern Robots That Will Shape Our Future
There was once a time when robots were limited to science-fiction movies and novels. Now we have a wide variety of robots, available for our service. Here are 4 examples.
Valkyrie
NASA’s “superhero” robot is 6 feet 2 inches in height and was originally designed for use on the International Space Station. Valkyrie is able to walk by itself, pick up objects and use tools. NASA hopes that one day, it can help humans in danger zones and disaster-stricken areas. The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics.
Schaft
This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google), won the recent DARPA robotics competition. The 4 feet 11 inches in height robot can power itself instead of a battery. This gives it greater movement since batteries limit how fast the robot can actually perform tasks. Schaft blew the competition away.
Ian the Invincible
Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics. The 6 feet 2 inches in height robot has 28 hydraulically actuated joints and stereo vision. What makes Ian unique is the software which allows him to drive a car. Ian came second at the Robo-Olympics, but the 330pound giant still has quite a way to go.
Telebot
Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work. The robot is 180 cm in height, travels on wheels and is remote controlled. Three HD cameras give Telebot a 360 degree view and with multiple sensors, it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance.
21. What does Valkyrie feature?
A. Built-in cameras. B. The capacity to use tools.
C. Its unique gender design. D. The ability to pick up objects.
22. What do Schaft and Ian the Invincible have in common?
A. They have the same height. B. They offer similar applications.
C. They both won in the Robo-Olympics. D. They now belong to the same firm.
23. Who is Telebot intended for?
A. The disabled. B. The police. C. The elderly. D. The astronauts.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了4款会影响未来的现代机器人。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。本题问Valkyrie款机器人的特点。根据Valkyrie部分的“The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics.(这个机器人基本上是一个女性机器人,因为它是带有女性特征的)”可知,这个机器人是以女性特征制造的,是有性别的。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Schaft部分“This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google)…(这个机器人由一家日本公司制造(后来被谷歌收购)…)”和Ian the Invincible部分的“Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics.(伊恩的原型是阿特拉斯机器人,由谷歌旗下的波士顿动力公司制造)”可知,现在它们隶属于同一家公司-谷歌。故选D项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work.(佛罗里达国际大学仍在开发Telebot,它将使受伤和残疾的警察有机会重返工作岗位)”及“it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance.(它可以帮助警察从安全距离监视任何危险情况)”可知,这款机器人是专为警察设计的。故选B项。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A visit to a friend’s brother, who was in the terminal (晚期的) stage of AIDS, made her determined to do something. By October, she had raised enough money to set up the Guest House, and took in a dozen dying of AIDS.(去看望一位朋友的兄弟,他已经到了艾滋病晚期,这使她下定决心要做点什么。到10月,她已经筹集了足够的资金,建立了Guest House,并收留了十几个垂死的艾滋病人)”可知,对一位艾滋病患者的探访促使Gail Johnson创办了Guest House。故选B项。

【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“A visit to a friend’s brother, who was in the terminal (晚期的) stage of AIDS, made her determined to do something.

C
A community canteen at the Zhanongkou Community in Shangcheng, Hangzhou recently launched “happiness blind boxes”, which cost just 6 yuan per box. Sales start at 7 p. m. each evening.
The dishes are packaged in transparent (透明的) containers, but to maintain an element of surprise, stickers are placed over the lid (盖子) of the “main dish” section of each box. The “blind boxes” have become popular since being introduced, and on some nights they sell out by about 8 p. m.
A meal assistance program introduced in Zhanongkou subdistrict ensures the elderly can access meals within a 10-minute walk of their homes or have them delivered within five minutes. The service has also been welcomed by younger people living and working in the area.
Yan Xuyang, a professor at Beijing Union University’s Tourism College, predicts that by 2035, those born from the 1970s to the 2000s will comprise the main group of customers for such canteens. “This generation has a reasonable level of disposable (可自由支配的) income, and many of its members may also lack the willingness to prepare meals for themselves,” Yan said.
The successful operation of community canteens depends on their ability to integrate into the daily lives and culture of local residents. In addition to serving dishes to suit local tastes and fostering a welcoming environment for diners, it is important to widen the functions of these canteens. They have been used for cultural activities and other events, which helps raise awareness and foster a positive perspective on these canteens among local communities.
In the latter part of last year, the Weikang community canteen in Ziyang subdistrict, Hangzhou, experienced a significant transformation from being a canteen for seniors to catering for the whole community. Its services have been broadened beyond regular operations to include services for hospitals and businesses, complete with home delivery options. Some other community canteens have also made efforts to appeal to more residents.
28. What can we know about the “happiness blind boxes” from the passage?
A. They are sold out every night before 8 p. m.
B. They are beautifully decorated with stickers.
C. They offer a sense of mystery with the unknown main dishes.
D. They are only offered to the residents in the Zhanongkou Community.
29. What’s Yan Xuyang’s attitude towards the future of the community canteen?
A. Promising. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Objective.
30. What might contribute most to the success of community canteens?
A. Reasonable prices. B. Fast delivery service. C. Various functions. D. Unexpected surprises.
31. Why is the Weikang community canteen mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To highlight the popularity of community canteens.
B. To emphasize the importance of community canteens.
C. To discuss the wide functions of community canteens.
D. To show the innovative reform of community canteens.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】

(这些菜肴被包装在透明的容器中,但为了保持惊喜的元素,每个盒子的“主菜”部分的盖子上都贴上了贴纸。“盲盒”自推出以来就很受欢迎,有些晚上8点左右就卖光了)”可知,“幸福盲盒”用未知的主菜提供了一种神秘感。故选C。
【29题详解】

(北京联合大学旅游学院教授严旭阳预测,到2035年,70后到00后将成为此类食堂的主要消费群体。他说:“这一代人的可支配收入水平还算合理,但他们中的许多人可能也缺乏自己做饭的意愿。”)”可知,严旭阳认为社区食堂的未来是有希望的、有前途的。故选A。
【30题详解】

They have been used for cultural activities and other events, which helps raise awareness and foster a positive perspective on these canteens among local communities.

(去年下半年,杭州资阳街道卫康社区食堂经历了从老年人食堂到全社区餐饮的重大转变。它的服务范围已扩大到常规业务之外,包括为医院和企业提供服务,并提供送货上门服务。其他一些社区食堂也在努力吸引更多的居民)”可知,最后一段提到卫康社区食堂展示了社区食堂的创新改革。故选D。
D
In 2000, a group of innovators in Denmark came up with a different kind of library —the Human Library. It has since transformed into a global phenomenon where “readers” can check out a human “book”. Each “title” offers an opportunity for dialogue over difficult questions, a process which the library hopes will help us all “un-judge” one another.
The first human library was organized by Ronni Abergel, his brother, and two colleagues. As a four-day event at a festival, the project was experimental. However, over a thousand readers came to read the human books available. The books themselves were chosen to represent often misunderstood groups. The initial library was a success leading to the foundation of the Human Library Organization, which has since carried on the lending of human books.
People can be part of the Human Library in two ways. One can volunteer to be a book and to offer first-hand knowledge of an experience or identity. Among the Human Library are books entitled “Alcoholic,” “Depression,” and so on. While these titles may seem simple and direct, the Human Library hopes readers will pick a topic but come to know the book for so much more than just the cover and title. Volunteer books agree to share their experiences — a commitment which requires patience, empathy (共情), and a level of comfort in sharing.
Another way to experience the Human Library is as a reader. Readers check out books for a certain amount of time. While being respectful, the library create s a space where readers can listen to the stories of books. Readers are encouraged to ask the difficult questions they always wondered but never had a chance to ask. Specifically, the library hopes it will be “a place where people who would otherwise never talk find room for conversation.”
The Human Library Organization today holds pop-up events around the world and even has permanent borrowing locations in several cities. They also work with companies as a rather unique provider of diversity and inclusion training.
32. What can we learn about the first human library?
A. It was well received. B. It had only four workers.
C. It was misunderstood. D. It was a weekly project.
33. What is required of a volunteer book?
A. Eagerness to learn. B. Painful experiences.
C. Willingness to share. D. Remarkable achievements.
34. How does the Human Library help readers?
A. By creating a space for them to talk freely.
B. By encouraging them to open up to strangers.
C. By showing them how to be respectful of others.
D. By teaching them to solve difficult questions alone.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The origin of the Human Library B. How to manage a Human Library
C. Borrowing people instead of books D. How to get along with human books
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】

People in Nanjing and Shanghai usually cook vegetable rice while in Guangzhou, it is a tradition to eat sticky rice on the morning of Minor Cold.(中国不同的地区有不同的饮食习惯。南京和上海人通常做蔬菜饭,而在广州,在小寒的早晨吃糯米是一个传统)”可知,本句主要说明了小寒要吃的传统食物,故B选项“然而,“八宝饭”并不是小寒唯一的传统食物”符合语境,故选B。
【39题详解】
根据后文“In the old days, Chinese families would usually start to purchase the necessities for the Spring Festival, write couplets and make paper cuts by themselves.(在过去,中国家庭通常会开始购买春节必需品,自己写对联和剪纸)”可知,本句是在说明中国家庭开始准备春节用品的时间,故E选项“农历的最后一个月,被称为“腊月”,通常在小寒前后开始”符合语境,故选E。

根据后文“Therefore, more attention should be paid to domestic animals’ warmth(因此,应该更加重视家畜的保暖问题)”提到了重视家畜保暖,说明小寒与天气变冷有关。故C选项“对中国大部分地区来说,小寒是最冷时期的开始”符合语境,故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
One spring, I was hired as groundskeeper at a Country Inn, a famous bed-and-breakfast located in Washington state. The grand house is in a beautiful place. Many famous people have visited and even had their own rooms there. The owners, Philip and Cecelia, have done a perfect job for the house. However, the gardens were very overgrown. Worse yet, there was another problem: a very persistent doe (母鹿).
Every day when I came to work, there was new evidence of the deer’s big appetite. I tried many preventives: spray, human hair, soap, you name it-but none of those things had effect. Often when I was weeding, I’d look over and there she’d be, munching some tasty pieces. Worst of all, she feasted on the roses, in which Cecelia took great pride. I became so frustrated that I named her “Dinner”— and wanted to serve her on plates.
One morning, I was on my hands and knees pulling out vines and bushes when I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye. There was Dinner, not five feet away, munching a large leaf and staring at me. I felt a connection with this animal. We did have something in common-we were both mothers. I got the crazy idea of communicating with her and it seemed she wanted the same thing.
What’s up? I asked in my head.
I’m here because I feel safe, was the gentle reply I felt I heard. I have my fawns (幼鹿) bedded down nearby, and there is plenty to eat. When the twins are older after summer, I will move them deeper into the forest.
I understand that, I assured her. People come here too, from far away. I guess they’ll be interested to see you. I promise that nobody will harm you or your children. I don’t mind sharing the vegetation but Cecelia loves roses, too. She is very upset when they are all eaten.
A loud crash broke the magic. Our eyes met again briefly before she leaped off across the driveway, disappearing into the forest. Has I really communicated with the deer?
Paragraph1.
I went into the kitchen where Cecelia was preparing the evening meal.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2.
Every day, I enjoyed watching Dinner with the twins and my presence never bothered them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I went into the kitchen where Cecelia was preparing the evening meal. “I just had a meeting of the minds with Dinner in the driveway,” I told her. “Maybe we can look at this problem in another way. The guests can see roses anywhere. But having wildlife might really add to the charm of the place. Cecelia thought about it and liked the idea. For the next few months, Dinner brought her twins into the yard. While she grazed, the siblings ran around the lawn, just like small children. She even seemed to pose so that guests could take pictures.
I enjoyed watching Dinner with the twins and my presence never bothered them. The fawns were curious. They would stare at me through the bushes and jump around. Dinner’s parenting skills were excellent. I was touched by the gentleness and affection she showed her charges. As summer wound down, Dinner and her children visited less and less. she was taking them farther into the forest. Finally, they left for good. So maybe there is a way to live in harmony with these peaceful creatures. Consider who was here first and think what we’ve done to them, not just what they’ve done to us.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开,讲述了作者在华盛顿州一家著名的提供住宿和早餐的乡村旅馆做管理员,在工作期间他和母鹿Dinner之间由最开始的厌烦变为后面的和谐相处的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我走进厨房,塞西莉亚正在那里准备晚餐。”可知,第一段可描写作者和塞西莉亚决定让母鹿Dinner带着它的孩子们在乡村旅馆的花园里出现。
②由第二段首句内容“我很喜欢看Dinner和它的双胞胎,我的出现从来没有打扰过它们。”可知,第二段可描写作者对于母鹿Dinner一家的感触。
2.续写线索:花园里来了母鹿——母鹿经常惹祸——和母鹿的对视——同意留下母鹿和小鹿——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①看:look at/accompany him/see
②思考:think about/ consider
③拍照:take picture/take photos
情绪类
①喜欢:enjoy/like
②感动的:touched/moved
【点睛】
[高分句型1] As summer wound down, Dinner and her children visited less and less. (由连接词as引导的时间状语)
[高分句型2] She even seemed to pose so that guests could take pictures.(由so that引导的目的状语从句)

4 Modern Robots That Will Shape Our Future
There was once a time when robots were limited to science-fiction movies and novels. Now we have a wide variety of robots, available for our service. Here are 4 examples.
Valkyrie
NASA’s “superhero” robot is 6 feet 2 inches in height and was originally designed for use on the International Space Station. Valkyrie is able to walk by itself, pick up objects and use tools. NASA hopes that one day, it can help humans in danger zones and disaster-stricken areas. The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics.
Schaft
This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google), won the recent DARPA robotics competition. The 4 feet 11 inches in height robot can power itself instead of a battery. This gives it greater movement since batteries limit how fast the robot can actually perform tasks. Schaft blew the competition away.
Ian the Invincible
Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics. The 6 feet 2 inches in height robot has 28 hydraulically actuated joints and stereo vision. What makes Ian unique is the software which allows him to drive a car. Ian came second at the Robo-Olympics, but the 330pound giant still has quite a way to go.
Telebot
Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work. The robot is 180 cm in height, travels on wheels and is remote controlled. Three HD cameras give Telebot a 360 degree view and with multiple sensors, it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance.
21. What does Valkyrie feature?
A. Built-in cameras. B. The capacity to use tools.
C. Its unique gender design. D. The ability to pick up objects.
22. What do Schaft and Ian the Invincible have in common?
A. They have the same height. B. They offer similar applications.
C. They both won in the Robo-Olympics. D. They now belong to the same firm.
23. Who is Telebot intended for?
A. The disabled. B. The police. C. The elderly. D. The astronauts.
B
In a Zulu village, Daphne gave birth to a baby, named Xolani Nkosi. The baby was tiny, no more than two kilos. As the months passed, Daphne realized the boy was ill. The doctor who examined the boy had said his illness might be a result of HIV infection.
Meanwhile, another South African woman, Gail Johnson, was living a different life. She and her husband were not wealthy, but were comfortably middle class. A visit to a friend’s brother, who was in the terminal (晚期的) stage of AIDS, made her determined to do something. By October, she had raised enough money to set up the Guest House, and took in a dozen dying of AIDS. Daphne sent her boy to the Guest House, where he became a star.
But in 1992 the Guest House had to be closed for lack of money. Gail offered to adopt Nkosi. By his 4th birthday Nkosi was eating better, gaining some weight. In 1997, Gail sent Nkosi to school. In 3 years at school Nkosi had only one accident. He fell in the playground and cut his mouth. The bleeding was handled with care. His school performance was satisfactory.
Nkosi’s progress was tracked in the media. Gail took advantage of the coverage to raise money and found a house in Johannesburg for some women and their kids. She called it Nkosi’s Haven. Nkosi and Gail became icons (偶像人物) in the international AIDS community. They were invited to the United States and spent a week there making appearances. Then in July 2000, the 13th International Conference on AIDS was scheduled to be held in Durban. Nkosi was introduced to a huge audience. He said, “Care for us and accept us. We are all human beings. We are normal. We have hands. We have feet. Don’t be afraid of us. We are all the same.” His tiny body was ravaged, but his big heart inspired a nation.

A community canteen at the Zhanongkou Community in Shangcheng Hangzhou recently launched “happiness blind boxes”, which cost just 6 yuan per box. Sales start at 7 p. m. each evening.
The dishes are packaged in transparent (透明的) containers, but to maintain an element of surprise, stickers are placed over the lid (盖子) of the “main dish” section of each box. The “blind boxes” have become popular since being introduced, and on some nights they sell out by about 8 p. m.
A meal assistance program introduced in Zhanongkou subdistrict ensures the elderly can access meals within a 10-minute walk of their homes or have them delivered within five minutes. The service has also been welcomed by younger people living and working in the area.
Yan Xuyang, a professor at Beijing Union University’s Tourism College, predicts that by 2035, those born from the 1970s to the 2000s will comprise the main group of customers for such canteens. “This generation has a reasonable level of disposable (可自由支配的) income, and many of its members may also lack the willingness to prepare meals for themselves,” Yan said.
The successful operation of community canteens depends on their ability to integrate into the daily lives and culture of local residents. In addition to serving dishes to suit local tastes and fostering a welcoming environment for diners, it is important to widen the functions of these canteens. They have been used for cultural activities and other events, which helps raise awareness and foster a positive perspective on these canteens among local communities.
In the latter part of last year, the Weikang community canteen in Ziyang subdistrict, Hangzhou, experienced a significant transformation from being a canteen for seniors to catering for the whole community. Its services have been broadened beyond regular operations to include services for hospitals and businesses, complete with home delivery options. Some other community canteens have also made efforts to appeal to more residents.
28. What can we know about the “happiness blind boxes” from the passage?
A. They are sold out every night before 8 p. m.
B They are beautifully decorated with stickers.
C. They offer a sense of mystery with the unknown main dishes.
D. They are only offered to the residents in the Zhanongkou Community.
29. What’s Yan Xuyang’s attitude towards the future of the community canteen?
A. Promising. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Objective.
30. What might contribute most to the success of community canteens?
A. Reasonable prices. B. Fast delivery service. C. Various functions. D. Unexpected surprises.
31. Why is the Weikang community canteen mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To highlight the popularity of community canteens.
B. To emphasize the importance of community canteens.
C. To discuss the wide functions of community canteens.
D. To show the innovative reform of community canteens.
D
In 2000, a group of innovators in Denmark came up with a different kind of library —the Human Library. It has since transformed into a global phenomenon where “readers” can check out a human “book”. Each “title” offers an opportunity for dialogue over difficult questions, a process which the library hopes will help us all “un-judge” one another.
The first human library was organized by Ronni Abergel, his brother, and two colleagues. As a four-day event at a festival, the project was experimental. However, over a thousand readers came to read the human books available. The books themselves were chosen to represent often misunderstood groups. The initial library was a success leading to the foundation of the Human Library Organization, which has since carried on the lending of human books.
People can be part of the Human Library in two ways. One can volunteer to be a book and to offer first-hand knowledge of an experience or identity. Among the Human Library are books entitled “Alcoholic,” “Depression,” and so on. While these titles may seem simple and direct, the Human Library hopes readers will pick a topic but come to know the book for so much more than just the cover and title. Volunteer books agree to share their experiences — a commitment which requires patience, empathy (共情), and a level of comfort in sharing.
Another way to experience the Human Library is as a reader. Readers check out books for a certain amount of time. While being respectful, the library create s a space where readers can listen to the stories of books. Readers are encouraged to ask the difficult questions they always wondered but never had a chance to ask. Specifically, the library hopes it will be “a place where people who would otherwise never talk find room for conversation.”
The Human Library Organization today holds pop-up events around the world and even has permanent borrowing locations in several cities. They also work with companies as a rather unique provider of diversity and inclusion training.
32. What can we learn about the first human library?
A. It was well received. B. It had only four workers.
C. It was misunderstood. D. It was a weekly project.
33. What is required of a volunteer book?
A. Eagerness to learn. B. Painful experiences.
C. Willingness to share. D. Remarkable achievements.
34. How does the Human Library help readers?
A. By creating a space for them to talk freely.
B. By encouraging them to open up to strangers.
C. By showing them how to be respectful of others.
D. By teaching them to solve difficult questions alone.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The origin of the Human Library B. How to manage a Human Library
C. Borrowing people instead of books D. How to get along with human books

67. 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。
One spring, I was hired as groundskeeper at a Country Inn, a famous bed-and-breakfast located in Washington state. The grand house is in a beautiful place. Many famous people have visited and even had their own rooms there. The owners, Philip and Cecelia, have done a perfect job for the house. However, the gardens were very overgrown. Worse yet, there was another problem: a very persistent doe (母鹿).
Every day when I came to work, there was new evidence of the deer’s big appetite. I tried many preventives: spray, human hair, soap, you name it-but none of those things had effect. Often when I was weeding, I’d look over and there she’d be, munching some tasty pieces. Worst of all, she feasted on the roses, in which Cecelia took great pride. I became so frustrated that I named her “Dinner”— and wanted to serve her on plates.
One morning, I was on my hands and knees pulling out vines and bushes when I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye. There was Dinner, not five feet away, munching a large leaf and staring at me. I felt a connection with this animal. We did have something in common-we were both mothers. I got the crazy idea of communicating with her and it seemed she wanted the same thing.
What’s up? I asked in my head.
I’m here because I feel safe, was the gentle reply I felt I heard. I have my fawns (幼鹿) bedded down nearby, and there is plenty to eat. When the twins are older after summer, I will move them deeper into the forest.
I understand that, I assured her. People come here too, from far away. I guess they’ll be interested to see you. I promise that nobody will harm you or your children. I don’t mind sharing the vegetation but Cecelia loves roses, too. She is very upset when they are all eaten.
A loud crash broke the magic. Our eyes met again briefly before she leaped off across the driveway, disappearing into the forest. Has I really communicated with the deer?
Paragraph1.
I went into the kitchen where Cecelia was preparing the evening meal.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2.
Every day, I enjoyed watching Dinner with the twins and my presence never bothered them.
