Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)(12分) Scientists in Israel have taught goldfish an unusual way to reach a target—by driving a small robotic car on dry land. The experiment was designed to test whether goldfish could find their way in conditions very different from their natural living conditions. To test the goldfish, the researchers created a special robotic car that could drive forward, backward, and from side to side. The scientists called the car a “Fish Operated Vehicle” (FOV) . A goldfish was placed inside a water tank on the FOV. Using a special system, the car tracked where the goldfish was and what direction it was swimming. The FOVwould then automatically move in the same direction. The scientists worked with six different goldfish.They tested them by placing the car in a small room with a pink target on one side. The fish were rewarded with a food pellet when the car touched the target. At first, it took the fish about half an hour to drive to the target. But by the end of the experiment, they were able to complete the same challenge in less than a minute. Not only did the goldfish show that they could drive to the target, they weren’t fooled by fake targets of other colors. They were also able to get themselves free when the car was stuck next to a wall. Though the experiment showed that the fish were able to navigate to a target, it’s not likely that the fish knew they were controlling a car. They may not have even realized they were moving on land. The researchers say that in the future it may be possible to change the FOV to test these ideas. 59. FOV can________. A. drive forward B. drive backward C. drive from side to side D. All of the above 60. FOV can track________. A. the location of the goldfish B. the direction of the target B. the location of the car D. the direction of the car 61. The goldfish will get________when the car touches the target. A. a good sleep B. a food pellet C. a new water tank D. a new car 62. The goldish spending less time driving to the target means A. the goldfish could find their way in conditions very different from their natural living conditions B. the goldfish knows how to drive C. it is challenging at first D. the goldfish loves the pink target 63. Which statementis NOTtrue? A. The fish weren'tfooled by fake targets of other colors. B. The fish were able to get themselves free when the car was stucknext toa wall. C. The researchers know that the fish areable to navigate to a target. D. The fish knew they were controlling a car. 64.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)(12分) Aric Prather, PhD, apsychologist at the University of California, San Francisco, found that rumination (沉思) is the biggest thing that causes poor sleep. “Your attention is drawn back, again and again, to this thing that didn’t go well or to a____65____,” she wrote.“I’ve laid in bed and replayed a stupid comment I made at a party, ____66____the person I said it to probably forgot it moments later.” Although he admitted that “there’s no magic____67____” to stop rumination, there are ways to prevent it at night. His first advice is to set aside 15 minutes in “the mid to late afternoon” to focus on “emotional worry”. He also noted the importance of being____68____during this time. The psychologist then advised what to do if you find yourself worrying outside of those 15 minutes, explaining “Tell yourself: ‘Look, I just need to____69____ to the next emotional worry time.’ Use this same technique if your worries pop up again at bedtime: ‘I have this scheduled for tomorrow.’” He noted that if “emotional worry” time is had two to three times a week, people will see themselves ruminate less and less at night. For his second 15-minute strategy, Prather recommended readers do some “constructive worrying,” which consists of creating one “Problems” and one “Solutions” column on a piece of paper. After coming up with the list of “current issues you’re dealing with,” you can determine which of those topics you think you’d worry about most at night. In the “Solutions” column, you can come up with the next “one or two steps” for solving your issues on the paper “Remember, the goal is to figure out a plan for ____70____ to get started with actionable steps for tomorrow, or within the next few days,” he wrote. “You are not solving it completely.” He confessed that this advice “may sound silly,” but also stressed the benefits ofit: “You’ve already spent focused energy on these problems. You can, release your mind from puzzling over themat night.” 65. A. regret B. laughter C. headache D. sadness 66. A. so that B. though C. even though D. as long as 67. A. answer B. excuse C. switch D. result 68. A. brave B. alone C. lonely D. confident 69. A. put this on B. put this up C. put this out D. put this off 70.

I volunteer in my spare time I used to spend my spare time playing video games and ended up drowning in the unrealistic internet world for a whole day, I then decided to change and took up something meaningful-volunteering. My job is to assist teachers in charge of a preschool class at a charity. When I first started, I got tons of butterflies in my stomach as I’d never worked with little kids before, as time went on, I became a little more confident, once I was asked to help a girl make a kite. Her joy after finishing it made me feel proud and pleased with my work. Volunteering in my spare time gives me the satisfaction of helping others, which drives me to volunteer more, I hope I will contribute more and make the world a better place. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
