The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is living proof (证明) that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive (强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 4. What can we learn about Kanazawa from Paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young C. He had serious health problems in his childhood. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. 5. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To help change his diet. B. To cheer up his wife. C. To stand to his promise. D. To recover from illness. 6. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A. He took the same workout schedule. B. He turned to the doctors for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent over six hours training every day. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D. Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了82岁的Toshisuke Kanazawa为了取悦妻子，重新回到了健身房，彻底改变他的饮食习惯。2016年，80岁高龄的Kanazawa在65岁以上的健美运动员比赛中击败了众多对手，获得了世界第六名，赢得了众人的钦佩。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked.( Kanazawa在年轻时曾是健美冠军，但在34岁退休后，他完全停止了锻炼，开始喝酒、抽烟，想吃什么就吃什么)”可知，Kanazawa退休后养成了不健康的生活方式。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet.(所以为了取悦她，他决定回到健身房，彻底改变他的饮食习惯)”可知，Kanazawa决定重新开始锻炼是为了使他的妻子高兴起来。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group.(他将每天的健身时间减少到3小时，并开始在锻炼完所有肌肉群后给身体一周的时间来恢复)”可知，Kanazawa在重建他的身体时把放松和锻炼结合起来。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age.(大多数80多岁的人会认为自己没有健康问题是幸运的，但Toshisuke Kanazawa却不是这样。这位82岁的日本健美运动员不仅拥有完美的身体状况，而且看起来比许多年龄只有他四分之一的男性还要好)”结合文章主要说明了82岁的Toshisuke Kanazawa为了取悦妻子，重新回到了健身房，彻底改变他的饮食习惯。2016年，80岁高龄的Kanazawa在65岁以上的健美运动员比赛中击败了众多对手，获得了世界第六名，赢得了众人的钦佩。可知，A选项“健身：没有年龄限制”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world; robots. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages. Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide. But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas of a restaurant. Still the use of robots is growing. In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he added two more; now, one robot leads diners to their seats while another delivers food to tables. And his employees load dirty dishes onto the third robot to bring them back to the kitchen. Zhai said he now needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. A robot costs around $15,000, he said, but a person costs him $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Zhai noted that the robots give his human servers more time to spend with diners, which increases tips. And diners often post videos of the robots on social media, which leads to more visits. “Besides saving labor, the robots benefit business,” he said. But not all restaurants have had success with robots. Chili’s introduced a robot server in 2020. The restaurant company expanded the test to 61 U.S. restaurants before suddenly stopping last August. Chili’s found that the robot moved too slowly and got in the way of human servers. And 58 percent of guests surveyed said robots did not improve their overall experience. 8. What is Li Zhai’s third robot used to do? A. Lead diners to their seats. B. Deliver food to tables. C. Take orders from customers. D. Carry away dirty dishes. 9. What do Li Zhai’s words mainly tell us in Paragraph 5? A. The popularity of robots. B. The low prices of robots. C. The advantages of using robots. D. The impression of robots on people. 10. Why did Chili’s give up robot servers? A. They broke down easily. B. They didn’t work well enough. C. They often made big mistakes. D. They couldn’t understand customers’ demand. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Are Robot Waiters the Future? B. Will Human Servers Lose Jobs? C. Robots Will Never Replace Humans D. Robot Services Are Better Than Humans 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界各地的餐馆流行使用机器人的现象，并根据实际案例说明了其好处和缺点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“And his employees load dirty dishes onto the third robot to bring them back to the kitchen. (他的员工把脏盘子放到第三个机器人上，它把这些盘子带回厨房。)”可知，第三个机器人通常把用过的盘子拿走。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Zhai said he now needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. A robot costs around $15,000, he said, but a person costs him $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Zhai noted that the robots give his human servers more time to spend with diners, which increases tips. And diners often post videos of the robots on social media, which leads to more visits. “Besides saving labor, the robots benefit business,” he said. (翟说他现在需要三个人来做以前五六个人做的工作。而且还能帮他省钱。他说，一个机器人的成本约为1.5万美元，但一个人每月的成本为5000至6000美元。翟指出，这些机器人让他的服务员有更多时间与顾客相处，从而增加了小费。顾客们经常在社交媒体上发布机器人的视频，这就带来了更多的顾客。他说：“除了节省劳动力，机器人还有利于商业。”)”可知，他的话主要告诉了我们用机器人的各种优点。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Chili’s found that the robot moved too slowly and got in the way of human servers. And 58 percent of guests surveyed said robots did not improve their overall experience.(Chili’s餐厅发现机器人移动太慢，挡住了人类服务员的去路。58%的受访客人表示，机器人并没有改善他们的整体体验。)”可知，Chili’s餐厅放弃使用机器人服务员是因为它们的工作做得不好。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕机器人展开，第一、二段介绍了机器人的流行，第三段说明机器人的缺点，第四、五段介绍了一家餐馆使用机器人的好处，第六段介绍了一家餐饮连锁店使用机器人失败的例子。由此推知，A项“机器人服务员就是未来吗？”符合文章探讨的内容，适合作为标题。故选A项。 D “If you don’t behave，I’ll call the police” is a lie that parents generally use to get their young children to behave. Parents’ lies work in the short terns，but a new study led by NTU Singapore suggests that they’re associated with harmful effects when the child becomes an adult. The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children，how much they lie to their parents now，and how well they adjust to adulthood challenges. Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report deceiving their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges. Lead author Assistant Professor Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore’s School of Social Sciences said，“Parenting by lying can seem to save time especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something is complicated to explain. When parents tell children that ‘honesty is the best policy’, but display dishonesty by lying, such behaviour can send conflicting messages to their children. Parents’ dishonesty may eventually break trust and promote dishonesty in children. Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has bad consequences for children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of this and consider alternatives to lying, such as acknowledging children’s feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and problem-solving together, to help children develop good behaviour.” The analysis found that parenting by lying could place children at a greater risk of developing problems that the society disapproves, such as aggression and rule-breaking behaviour. Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents’ lying. “Future research can explore using more information providers, such as parents, to report on the same topic,” suggested Asst Prof Setoh. 12. Why is a parental lie mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic for discussion. B. To tell a popular way to educate children. C. To prove the great influence of the police. D. To show the harmful effects of parental lies. 13. The underlined word “deceiving” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. worrying B. abusing C. disappointing D. cheating 14. According to the research，which of the following can parents do? A. Give children chances to choose. B. Force good behaviour on children. C. Let children solve problems alone. D. Stop children knowing what to expect. 15. What does the last paragraph imply about the study? A. It is quite controversial. B. It is rather meaningless. C. It needs to be perfected. D. It demands honest responses. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。新加坡的一项最新的研究发现，父母“撒谎式”育儿会影响孩子的心理健康，且使得孩子长大后更容易撒谎。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可以推断，作者在文章第一段中提及父母在育儿时会普遍使用的一个谎言是为了引出本文要讨论的话题——父母“撒谎式”育儿会影响孩子的心理健康，且使得孩子长大后更容易撒谎。故选A。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段内容可知，研究小组询问了 379名新加坡年轻人，他们的父母在他们小时候是否欺骗过他们，他们现在对父母撒了多少谎，以及他们如何适应成年后的挑战。那些在孩童时期被欺骗得更多的成年人在成年时期更有可能__________父母。由此可以猜测，画线词deceiving意为“欺骗”。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Parents should be aware of this and consider alternatives to lying, such as acknowledging children’ s feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and problem-solving together(父母应该意识到这一点，并考虑替代说谎的方法，比如承认孩子的感受，提供信息，让孩子们知道该期待什么，提供选择和解决问题。)”可知，父母应该考虑给孩子提供选择。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents’ lying. ‘Future research can explore using more information providers, such as parents, to report on the same topic’ ” 这项研究的一些局限性包括，它依赖于年轻人对他们过去父母撒谎经历的报告。“未来的研究可以探索使用更多的信息提供者，比如父母，来报告同一个主题。”可以推断，该研究需要进一步完善。故选C。 【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第4小题，根据文章最后一段中的“Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents’ lying. ‘Future research can explore using more information providers, such as parents, to report on the same topic’ ”可以推断，该研究需要进一步完善。故选C。 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Music is known to have a great deal of mental and physical benefits on humans.

Another place where music can be helpful is in car rides. F. There are ways that you can identify stress in your animals. G. It’s no wonder loud noises can cause dogs and cats so much stress. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主旨是关于音乐对动物的压力和焦虑的缓解作用。音乐被证明对人类在身心方面具有许多好处，同样对动物也有很大的益处。文章中提到，动物可能会受到各种压力的困扰，包括被恶意对待、遭受攻击以及其他导致压力的因素。然而，音乐可以在许多高压力的情况下对动物起到极其有益的作用，让它们感到平静、安全和受保护。特别是在兽医诊所播放音乐可以帮助对兽医感到害怕的动物、宠物主人以及工作人员感到放松和安心。因此，音乐在世界各地的兽医诊所得到了广泛应用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Music is known to have a great deal of mental and physical benefits on humans. From helping to treat physical medical problems to relieving stress, music can be extremely beneficial in helping to improve health. (众所周知，音乐对人类的精神和身体都有很大的好处。从帮助治疗身体医疗问题到缓解压力，音乐在帮助改善健康方面非常有益)”及下文“Animals may have a great deal of stress.(动物可能会有很大的压力。)”可知，空处应为承上启下的句子，与B项“The same goes for our furry friends, too.(我们毛茸茸的朋友也是如此。)”上下文一致，故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Dogs and cats may be stressed when around men because they were badly treated by a man, and they may never forget that. A dog who was attacked by another dog while on a walk may be always afraid to go on walks, or even be afraid to leave the house. (狗和猫在男人身边时可能会因为受到男人的恶劣对待而感到压力，他们可能永远不会忘记这一点。一只在散步时被另一只狗袭击的狗可能总是害怕散步，甚至害怕离开家。)”可知，本段主要讲述了毛和狗感受到压力的因素，与C项“They could be stressed for a variety of reasons.(他们可能因各种原因而受到压力。)”上下文一致，故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Cats, dogs and horses will not all have the exact same stressors (压力源), so you just have to pay close attention to your animal and what makes them unique, such as changes in eating habits, too much sleep and too little sleep, just to name a few.(猫、狗和马不会都有完全相同的压力源，所以你只需要密切关注你的动物以及它们的独特之处，比如饮食习惯的改变、睡眠过多和睡眠太少，仅举几例。)”可知本段主要讲述了猫、狗和马的压力源，需要关注他们的独特之处，与F项“There are ways that you can identify stress in your animals.(有一些方法可以识别动物的压力。)”上下文一致，故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据段首“Music can be extremely beneficial for animals in high stress situations.(音乐对高压力情况下的动物非常有益。)”及下文“In the atmosphere, they feel calm, safe and well protected.(在大气中，他们感到平静、安全和受到良好的保护。)”可知讲述了音乐会让动物放松的方式，与A项“It can create a space for them.(它可以为他们创造一个空间。)”上下文一致，故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“This helps calm the owners of the animals and the staff at the office besides the animals.(这有助于让动物的主人和办公室的工作人员平静下来。)”及下文“That’s why it is being taken up at a variety of veterinary clinics around the world.(这就是为什么它被世界各地的各种兽医诊所采用的原因。)”可知空处为音乐为什么是兽医诊所采用的原因，与D项“It would be a beneficial practice for all parties.(这对各方都是有益的做法。)”上下文一致，故选D项。 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 完形填空(共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C 和 D )中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Born in Moscow, Russia, Mason is a disabled person, with no legs and only one arm.

He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school. “You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe? I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside. “Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked. I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased. “That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew. Meatball became a regular. One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside. I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.” “Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke. The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her. 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。 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night?” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!” As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.” 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的儿子抱怨作者不让他晚上外出，但是在通过猫被夜里放出而差点被冻死的事情后，他儿子终于明白作者不让他出去是为了他的安全着想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①.由第一段首句内容：乔丹点点头，“我昨晚放她出来的。”可知，第一段可描写猫被放出去后他们去寻找的过程以及猫被找到后的状态。 ②.由第二段首句内容：“当我开车去动物医院的时候，乔丹坐在后面，把肉球放在外套里。”可知，第二段可描写他们将猫送去救治的过程以及乔丹的懊悔。 2.续写线索：去找猫——发现猫——发现猫状态不对——送去救治——猫得救——乔丹懊悔 3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达） 行为类 ①.抓住：grab/grasp ②.轻抚：stroke/ pet ③.拯救：save/ rescue 情绪类 ①.非常愤怒： so furious / so angry ②.恐惧的：scared/ terrified 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2].

B Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is living proof (证明) that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive (强化的) workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 4. What can we learn about Kanazawa from Paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young C. He had serious health problems in his childhood. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. 5. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To help change his diet. B. To cheer up his wife. C. To stand to his promise. D. To recover from illness. 6. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A He took the same workout schedule. B. He turned to the doctors for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent over six hours training every day. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D. Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness C You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world; robots. They are about the size of a child. They can welcome people and lead them to their tables. They can deliver food and drinks and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortages. Sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places worldwide. But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas of a restaurant. Still the use of robots is growing. In Madison Heights, Michigan, Li Zhai was having trouble finding workers for his restaurant Noodle Topia in the summer of 2021. So, he bought a robot from Pudu Robotics. The robot was so successful that he added two more; now, one robot leads diners to their seats while another delivers food to tables. And his employees load dirty dishes onto the third robot to bring them back to the kitchen. Zhai said he now needs three people to do the same work that five or six people used to do. And they save him money. A robot costs around $15,000, he said, but a person costs him $5,000 to $6,000 per month. Zhai noted that the robots give his human servers more time to spend with diners, which increases tips. And diners often post videos of the robots on social media, which leads to more visits. “Besides saving labor, the robots benefit business,” he said. But not all restaurants have had success with robots. Chili’s introduced a robot server in 2020. The restaurant company expanded the test to 61 U.S. restaurants before suddenly stopping last August. Chili’s found that the robot moved too slowly and got in the way of human servers. And 58 percent of guests surveyed said robots did not improve their overall experience. 8. What is Li Zhai’s third robot used to do? A. Lead diners to their seats. B. Deliver food to tables. C. Take orders from customers. D. Carry away dirty dishes. 9. What do Li Zhai’s words mainly tell us in Paragraph 5? A. The popularity of robots. B. The low prices of robots. C. The advantages of using robots. D. The impression of robots on people. 10. Why did Chili’s give up robot servers? A. They broke down easily. B. They didn’t work well enough. C. They often made big mistakes. D. They couldn’t understand customers’ demand. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Are Robot Waiters the Future? B. Will Human Servers Lose Jobs? C. Robots Will Never Replace Humans D. Robot Services Are Better Than Humans D “If you don’t behave，I’ll call the police” is a lie that parents generally use to get their young children to behave. Parents’ lies work in the short terns，but a new study led by NTU Singapore suggests that they’re associated with harmful effects when the child becomes an adult. The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children，how much they lie to their parents now，and how well they adjust to adulthood challenges. Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report deceiving their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges. Lead author Assistant Professor Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore’s School of Social Sciences said，“Parenting by lying can seem to save time especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something is complicated to explain. When parents tell children that ‘honesty is the best policy’, but display dishonesty by lying, such behaviour can send conflicting messages to their children. Parents’ dishonesty may eventually break trust and promote dishonesty in children. Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has bad consequences for children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of this and consider alternatives to lying, such as acknowledging children’s feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and problem-solving together, to help children develop good behaviour.” The analysis found that parenting by lying could place children at a greater risk of developing problems that the society disapproves, such as aggression and rule-breaking behaviour. Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents’ lying. “Future research can explore using more information providers, such as parents, to report on the same topic,” suggested Asst Prof Setoh. 12. Why is a parental lie mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic for discussion. B. To tell a popular way to educate children. C. To prove the great influence of the police. D. To show the harmful effects of parental lies. 13. The underlined word “deceiving” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”. A worrying B. abusing C. disappointing D. cheating 14. According to the research，which of the following can parents do? A. Give children chances to choose. B. Force good behaviour on children. C. Let children solve problems alone. D.

He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school. “You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe? I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside. “Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked. I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased. “That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew. Meatball became a regular. One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside. I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.” “Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke. The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her. 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。 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
