The other cubs had red in their hair. He was gray like his father. He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his brothers and sisters. He made more noises. He was a meat-eating animal. He came out of a family of meat-killers and meat-eaters. His father and mother lived only on meat. In his first few weeks of life, he lived on mother’s milk, which was actually from meat. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for only a week, he was beginning himself to eat meat. There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight for food. Even the mother wolf left the cave to find meat, but there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only the mother wolf and the gray cub were left. One day the gray cub ran out of the cave to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel of his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat. He was nearly dead when the mother wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat it. The gray cub was not good at hunting yet, and still needed food from his mother. One day, the mother wolf brought him a baby lynx（猞猁）. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the mother wolf here. The mother wolf and the mother lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. He ran forward and bit one of her legs. This was enough to give the mother wolf the chance she needed. The lynx was dead, but the mother wolf was badly hurt. For a week, she did not move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them. Without his mother to take care of him, he learnt what life was about. Without meat, there was no life. Animals had to eat other animals to survive. The law of meat was: EAT OR BE EATEN. — Adapted from White Fang 36. The gray cub was ________ than his brothers and sisters.

Research has shown that hugs can strengthen our social connections, improve our emotional (情感的) state and reduce feelings of loneliness. They can even help to lower stress levels and improve our health. Unfortunately, not everyone has the chance to receive hugs when they need them. So, how can this problem be solved? One idea that scientists have suggested is to develop social robots that can hug people. They think these robots could probably provide lonely people with the benifits (好处) of getting hugged. However, creating a hug robot that is well-accepted by people and reduce stress is no simple task. For example, if the design of the robot looks intimidating, people may feel uncomfortable about hugging it. Therefore, it is important for researchers to have further studies on the design which should include acceptance and comfort. A recent study published in the International Journal of Social Robotics focused on the development of Moffully-Ⅱ, a newly developed hug robot. It looks like a large, human-shaped teddy bear and stands at two meters tall. During a hug, it is able to move its arms and make different gestures (手势). Copying the actions that humans usually do during hugs, such as tapping someone on the back, is necessary for making the hug feel real. During the study, volunteers who received hugs from Moffully-Ⅱ showed more love for hugs with gestures than those without gestures. They sensed the robot as friendlier and safer when it made gestures, and they found the hugs were more enjoyable in general. While some people may feel uncomfortable with the idea of hugging a robot instead of a human, hug robots offer those who are in need of hugs another way to meet their needs. This includes those in old people’s homes who hope for hugs, even if they are provided by a robot. 40. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Shy. B. Terrible. C. Calm. D. Energetic. 41. About hug robots, the writer probably supports that ________. A. they can help to lower people’s stress level and improve health B. they may help people but cannot replace humans C. designers should first think about their gestures D. they may benifit people who are short of hugs 42. What is the best title for the passage? A. Are You Ready to Hug a Robot? B. Are Robots Good at Giving Hugs? C. Is It Strange for Robots to Give Hugs? D. Do Robot Hugs Feel the Same as Human Hugs? 【答案】40. B 41. D 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要阐述了拥抱的积极作用，并讲述研究人员正在研究的拥抱机器人。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“For example, if the design of the robot looks intimidating, people may feel uncomfortable about hugging it.”可知，如果机器人的设计看起来令人生畏或害怕，人们可能会觉得拥抱它不舒服，所以划线部分单词与terrible“可怕的”意思相近。故选B。 【41题详解】 观点态度题。根据“While some people may feel uncomfortable with the idea of hugging a robot instead of a human, hug robots offer those who are in need of hugs another way to meet their needs.”可知，拥抱机器人为那些需要拥抱的人提供了另一种方式来满足他们的需求，即：拥抱机器人可能对缺乏拥抱的人有益。故选D。 【42题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“One idea that scientists have suggested is to develop social robots that can hug people. They think these robots could probably provide lonely people with the benifits (好处) of getting hugged.”并通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了拥抱机器人的研发日益完善，可能会给孤独的人带来拥抱的好处，所以本文意在向民众推介拥抱机器人，选项A“准备好拥抱机器人了吗？”可作为本文最佳标题。故选A。 Ⅳ. 信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，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。 People who think in a positive way are happier, healthier, and get along better with others.

But with chopsticks (筷子), you can solve the eating problems with just one hand. Chopsticks were called zhu or jia in ancient China. It is said that they were invented by Da Yu, who successfully controlled the heavy flood. One day, he was busy dealing with the flood. To save time when eating, he used two sticks from a tree to take the hot food. That was how chopsticks came into use. It was one of the legends about chopsticks. In fact, the earliest chopsticks found in Henan Province were made of bronze (青铜). Many people probably haven’t realized the cultural meanings of chopsticks. They are one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. Do you notice that one end of chopsticks is square and the other end is round? So, why? In Chinese culture, the round end stands for the Heaven and the square end stands for the Earth. Besides, chopsticks are used in pairs.

Today, however, high-speed trains are attracting (吸引) people again even though they cost more money than normal ones. They’re fast and convenient (方便). France has a train called the TGV. In French, TGV means “high-speed train”. A TGV train runs at speed up to 300 km/h. People can travel from Paris to Marseilles in only four hours. The first country to have a high-speed train is Japan. The Bullet train offers a fast, smooth ride between Tokyo and other main cities in Japan. This train runs at speed up to 210 km/h and can travel between Tokyo and Osaka in just three hours. China has the world’s longest high-speed rail network. The world’s longest line— the2, 298 km Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway is also included. China’s high-speed trains are marked with “CRH” (China’s railway high-speed).

He was the strongest cub. He showed more anger than his brothers and sisters. He made more noises. He was a meat-eating animal. He came out of a family of meat-killers and meat-eaters. His father and mother lived only on meat. In his first few weeks of life, he lived on mother’s milk, which was actually from meat. And now, at a month old, when his eyes had been open for only a week, he was beginning himself to eat meat. There came a time when there was no meat. For many days the cubs did not eat. They were too weak and tired to play. One-Eye, the cub’s father, was killed in the fight for food. Even the mother wolf left the cave to find meat, but there was nothing. One by one, the cubs died. Only the mother wolf and the gray cub were left. One day the gray cub ran out of the cave to hunt for his own food. He met a weasel of his size. The rat-like animal ran at him and bit his throat. He was nearly dead when the mother wolf arrived just in time to kill and eat it. The gray cub was not good at hunting yet and still needed food from his mother. One day, the mother wolf brought him a baby lynx（猞猁）. While eating, he heard great noise. The kitten’s mother had followed the mother wolf here. The mother wolf and the mother lynx started to fight, and they would fight to the death. He ran forward and bit one of her legs. This was enough to give the mother wolf the chance she needed. The lynx was dead, but the mother wolf was badly hurt. For a week, she did not move. The gray cub had to find food for both of them. Without his mother to take care of him, he learnt what life was about. Without meat, there was no life. Animals had to eat other animals to survive. The law of meat was: EAT OR BE EATEN. — Adapted from White Fang 36. The gray cub was ________ than his brothers and sisters. A. stronger and redder B. weaker and grayer C. weaker and quieter D. stronger and noisier 37. When did the gray cub start to eat meat himself? A. At birth. B. At one week old. C. At one month old. D.

The gray cub was able to hunt weasels and lynxes. B. Life was easy for the mother wolf and the gray cub. C. The fight between the two mothers shows the law of meat. D. The gray cub’s father, brothers and sisters died of hunger. D Getting hugged (拥抱) by someone you care about can be a wonderful experience. Research has shown that hugs can strengthen our social connections, improve our emotional (情感的) state and reduce feelings of loneliness. They can even help to lower stress levels and improve our health. Unfortunately, not everyone has the chance to receive hugs when they need them. So, how can this problem be solved? One idea that scientists have suggested is to develop social robots that can hug people. They think these robots could probably provide lonely people with the benifits (好处) of getting hugged. However, creating a hug robot that is well-accepted by people and reduce stress is no simple task. For example, if the design of the robot looks intimidating, people may feel uncomfortable about hugging it. Therefore, it is important for researchers to have further studies on the design which should include acceptance and comfort. A recent study published in the International Journal of Social Robotics focused on the development of Moffully-Ⅱ, a newly developed hug robot. It looks like a large, human-shaped teddy bear and stands at two meters tall. During a hug, it is able to move its arms and make different gestures (手势). Copying the actions that humans usually do during hugs, such as tapping someone on the back, is necessary for making the hug feel real. During the study, volunteers who received hugs from Moffully-Ⅱ showed more love for hugs with gestures than those without gestures. They sensed the robot as friendlier and safer when it made gestures, and they found the hugs were more enjoyable in general. While some people may feel uncomfortable with the idea of hugging a robot instead of a human, hug robots offer those who are in need of hugs another way to meet their needs. This includes those in old people’s homes who hope for hugs, even if they are provided by a robot. 40. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Shy. B. Terrible. C. Calm. D. Energetic. 41. About hug robots, the writer probably supports that ________.

To save time when eating, he used two sticks from a tree to take the hot food. That was how chopsticks came into use. It was one of the legends about chopsticks. In fact, the earliest chopsticks found in Henan Province were made of bronze (青铜). Many people probably haven’t realized the cultural meanings of chopsticks.
