(与普通课程不同，它为学生提供了很大的独立性，让他们选择自己的时间表，决定他们想学什么)”可知，Program in Math for Young Scientists的特别之处在于学生可以制定个人日程安排。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Future Matters Program部分中“This is a hands-on program for students interested in going after a career in medical research. (这是一个为有兴趣从事医学研究的学生提供的实践课程)”可知，对于想成为医生的学生来说，Future Matters Program是最合适的。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Simons Summer Research部分中“Students will have the opportunity to participate in special workshops, tours and events free of charge. (学生将有机会免费参加特别的研讨会、参观和活动)”和最后一段中“It is the first cost-free summer program of its kind. (这是同类项目中第一个免费的暑期项目)”可知，这两个项目都是免费的，所以费用相同。故选B。 B Sarah Moore rushed her two-year-old daughter Lacie Moore to hospital after she was hurt. The worried mum from Morecambe, Lancashire, left her car on a double yellow line outside the Lancaster hospital and raced inside with her daughter. When Sarah returned to her car, rather than finding a parking ticket, she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note, saying that they had “sweet talked” the traffic warden (交通管理员) into not giving her a ticket. “They didn’t have to do that-it made things a lot easier,” the grateful mum said. “I was fully expecting to come out of the hospital and to have a parking ticket, and I had come to terms with that.” The dramatic evening began on the evening of July 2 when Lacie split her head open on the hinge (铰链) of a door. Lacie ripped on the carpet and hit the hinge. When Sarah picked her up there was blood everywhere. It terrified Sarah, who quickly switched into action mode. There was no time to call for an ambulance so Sarah just put her in the car and got her there in 15 minutes. It was scary. When she arrived at the hospital Sarah ignored the warnings of ambulance staff about potential traffic wardens and raced inside. The note she found on her car when she returned made sure a difficult day was made just a little bit easier. It read: “Good afternoon, we noticed you left your car here as you rushed your child into A&E. (We tried to warn you about getting a ticket.) We spoke with the traffic warden and told him about your situation and managed to sweet talk him into letting you off under the circumstances. He wanted us to let you know that you can leave it in the ambulance bay across the road. We hope your little one is okay. Kindest regards.” 4. What does the underlined phrase “sweet talked” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Trick somebody with some sweets. B. Confuse somebody with sweet words. C. Convince somebody in a pleasant way. D. Persuade somebody with solid evidence. 5. What do we know about Sarah? A. She thought she would be fined. B. No one noticed her park her car. C. She injured her daughter at home. D. She paid a parking fine in the end. 6. Who wrote the note for Sarah? A. Ambulance staff. B. Traffic wardens. C. Doctors in A&E. D. Passers-by. 7. What can be the best title for this text? A. A Fair Warden B. A Lucky Mother C. A Warm Surprise D. A Thoughtful Parking Ticket 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文， Sarah Moore在带自己孩子到医院就医时，因孩子伤情紧急而违规停车，目睹此情形的急救人员为她向交通管理人员求情，从而为她免去了罚单。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The worried mum from Morecambe, Lancashire, left her car on a double yellow line outside the Lancaster hospital and raced inside with her daughter. When Sarah returned to her car, rather than finding a parking ticket, she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note(这位忧心忡忡的母亲来自兰开夏郡的莫克姆，她把车停在兰开斯特医院外的双黄线上，带着女儿跑了进去。Sarah回到车里，没有找到停车罚单，而是惊奇地发现了一张手写的纸条)”可知，Sarah Moore把车停在了双黄线上，违反了交通规则，但让她吃惊的是她回来后看到车上没有贴罚单；再结合划线词所在句“they had “sweet talked” the traffic warden (交通管理员) into not giving her a ticket.(他们sweet talked交通管理员不给她开罚单)”可推知，“sweet talked”是指有好心人以合适的方式说服了交通管理员不要给Sarah开罚单。C选项“用愉快的方式说服某人”与之意义相近。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was fully expecting to come out of the hospital and to have a parking ticket, and I had come to terms with that.(我满心期待着出院后会收到一张停车罚单，我已经接受了这一点)”可知，Sarah Moore清楚自己违规停车并且预料自己会因此被罚款。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When she arrived at the hospital Sarah ignored the warnings of ambulance staff about potential traffic wardens and raced inside.(当她到达医院时，Sarah无视救护人员关于交通管理员可能的警告，跑进了医院)”和便条上的“We tried to warn you about getting a ticket.(我们试着警告过你别被开罚单)”可推断出，写便条的人是曾经提醒了Sarah Moore的救护人员。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕Sarah Moore意外收到的善意便条展开，介绍了她因急着带孩子就医而违规停车以及急救人员在她车上留下便条的事。根据第一段中的“she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note(她惊奇地发现了一张手写的纸条)”以及第四段的便条上的暖心话语“We spoke with the traffic warden and told him about your situation and managed to sweet talk him into letting you off under the circumstances.(我们和交通管理员谈了谈，告诉了他你的情况，并设法用甜言蜜语说服他在这种情况下放了你)”可判断，C选项“A Warm Surprise(温暖的惊喜)”最能概括文章主旨大意。故选C项。 C The way we listen to music has changed. Our parents and grandparents listened to music recorded on old vinyl records (黑胶唱片) played on an expensive record player. In 1982, SONY invented CDs which were smaller and much easier to store than vinyl records. Nearly overnight, the life of vinyl came to an end. Soon after, we all got mobile phones and began to access music online. Today, we can easily listen to anything we want to. Some of the greatest music we have ever heard was originally recorded on vinyl. For example, the Beatles recorded all their music on vinyl in the 1950s and 1960s. All those years ago, many people had large collections of records which filled their homes. One such person was Bob George. He started his career as a DJ and record producer. He loved to collect vinyl records and owned 47, 000 of them! Because vinyl records were quite large, he knew that they were often thrown away when people needed more space. He decided he would like to collect every piece of music written after 1945. It would be a collection of a very important part of our musical heritage (遗产). Word of Bob’s ambition spread around the music industry. In 1985, A-Square Records called him asking for help. They had 150, 000 vinyl records. The house where they were stored was sinking under their weigh! Bob was happy to take the records off their hands, and his archive (档案馆) began to grow. Bob called it the Archive of Contemporary Music. He also included in his collection old photos, books and other valuable things. Many professional musicians have been able to help with the archive. It is also used when it comes to choosing music for new films. Tom Hanks spent hours researching music for his film “That Thing You Do!”. Today, the archive is home to over 3, 000, 000 sound records and 90 million songs. It requires a huge amount of space and the hunt is now on for a bigger place. It’s a dream world for any music lover. We hope that space will be found and the collection can continue to grow. 8. Why does the author write the first paragraph? A. To introduce a topic for discussion. B. To summarize the development of technology. C. To inspire people to store vinyl records. D. To provide background information. 9. What can we know about Bob? A. He only collects vinyl records. B. He is passionate about music. C. He was interested in collecting CDs. D. He began his career as a collector. 10. What can be learned about the Archive of Contemporary Music? A. It is run by the government. B. It includes the Beatles’ records. C. It is developing not at a fast speed. D. It takes over A-Square Records’ records. 11. What does the author think of the archive? A. It excites people’s interest in films. B. It will make money for Bob George. C. It will make some big adjustments. D. It is precious for music enthusiasts. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Archive of Contemporary Music（当代音乐资料馆）的发展过程以及在音乐界的作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“The way we listen to music has changed. Our parents and grandparents listened to music recorded on old vinyl records (黑胶唱片) played on an expensive record player. In 1982, SONY invented CDs which were smaller and much easier to store than vinyl records. Nearly overnight, the life of vinyl came to an end. Soon after, we all got mobile phones and began to access music online. Today, we can easily listen to anything we want to.(我们听音乐的方式已经改变了。我们的父母和祖父母听用昂贵的唱机播放的旧黑胶唱片录制的音乐。1982年，索尼发明了比黑胶唱片更小、更容易存储的CD。几乎一夜之间，黑胶的生命结束了。不久之后，我们都有了手机，开始上网听音乐。今天，我们可以轻松地听任何我们想听的东西)”可知，文章第一段为“我们听音乐的方式已经改变了”这一话题提供一个背景知识。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“One such person was Bob George. He started his career as a DJ and record producer. He loved to collect vinyl records and owned 47,000 of them! (Bob George就是这样一个人。他的职业生涯开始于DJ和唱片制作人。他喜欢收集黑胶唱片，拥有47000张！)”可知，Bob George收集了如此多唱片，他是一个音乐爱好者。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段“Word of Bob’s ambition spread around the music industry. In 1985, A-Square Records called him asking for help. They had 150, 000 vinyl records. The house where they were stored was sinking under their weigh! Bob was happy to take the records off their hands, and his archive (档案馆) began to grow. Bob called it the Archive of Contemporary Music. He also included in his collection old photos, books and other valuable things.(鲍勃的雄心壮志在音乐界传开了。1985年，A-Square唱片公司打电话给他寻求帮助。他们有15万张黑胶唱片。存放它们的房子在它们的重压下正在下沉！鲍勃很高兴从他们手中接过这些记录，他的档案开始增加。鲍勃称它为当代音乐档案。他还收藏了旧照片、书籍和其他贵重物品)”可知，当代音乐资料馆接管了A-Square唱片公司的唱片。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“It requires a huge amount of space and the hunt is now on for a bigger place. It’s a dream world for any music lover. We hope that space will be found and the collection can continue to grow.(它需要巨大的空间，现在正在寻找一个更大的地方。这是任何音乐爱好者的梦想世界。我们希望能找到空间，藏品能继续增长)”可知，作者认为音乐馆对音乐爱好者来说是珍贵的。故选D项。 D A Harvard research team’s first model of a portable exosuit (机械护甲) is made of cloth components worn on the waist and upper legs. A computer that’s built into the shorts can sense when the user shifts between walking and running. Say the word “exosuit” and super heroes come to mind-somebody like Tony Stark from Marvel Comics, whose fancy suit enables him to become Iron Man. But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running. The lead researcher Conor Walsh says when you put on his team’s suit, you definitely notice that it’s pulling across your joints, so you feel the drive from the suit. But after a while, you don’t really notice it anymore. The suit helps to extend the hip joint, saving the user’s energy. Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.” Walsh says, “This suit could be helpful for a soldier carrying heavy weights over long distances.” Research on the suit was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Defense and develops military technology. “Other future models might help people with medical problems like Parkinson’s disease to move more easily,” he says. “My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.” Karl Zelik, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, calls the team’s effort “promising work”. Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance. 12. What may the exosuit do? A. Cover the user’s wrist and upper legs. B. Sharpen a wearer’s performance of walking C. Enable a person to become a superhero. D. Sense the user’s shift from walking to running. 13. How will people feel when they take the suit off after wearing it for a few minutes? A. Their legs may feel a little heavier. B. Their body may not feel anything strange. C. Their joints will feel pulled by some strength. D. Their body may feel the driving force from it. 14 What do Walsh’s words in Paragraph 4 suggest? A. The suit can safeguard soldiers in the distance. B. He works directly for American military force. C. A certain model of a suit can be purchased now. D. Current models benefit Patients with Parkinson. 15. What’s Zelik’s attitude towards the future of exosuits? A. Promising. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeless. D. Objective. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍一个哈佛研究小组的第一个便携式机械护甲是由穿在腰部和大腿上的布料组成，可以提高普通人的力量和韧性。文章还介绍了这套装置的一些特色和优点，以及人们对它的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running.(但哈佛大学的科学家们一直在开发一种真正的外装，一种可穿戴的机器，可以提高普通人的力量和韧性。这个模型可以提高佩戴者在走路或跑步时的表现)”可知，机械护甲可以提高穿戴者的行走能力。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.”(沃尔什说，虽然你可能没有注意到，但当你在穿上机械护甲几分钟后把它脱掉时，“你很快就会注意到你的腿感觉有点重了。”)”可知，人们穿了几分钟就把护甲脱下来会感到腿有点重。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.(我的实验室与一家公司合作开发了一套帮助中风患者的机械护甲，现在已经上市)”可推知，Walsh的话表明现在可以买到某一款机械护甲了。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance.(泽利克说，它将提高人类在日常生活的各个方面的能力。然而，他指出，外装领域正在迅速变化。他说，在未来，最好的辅助设备可能根本不是外骨骼，而是植入人体内的技术。他预测，未来的可穿戴设备还将能够了解穿戴者的运动意图，并在必要时对其进行影响，以提高人类的表现)”可知，Zelik既对机械护甲表示肯定，又表示未来最好的辅助设备可能根本不是机械护甲，而是植入人体的技术；即他的态度是客观的。故选D。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Time Management It is rightly said “Time and tide wait for none”.

Intelligent teaching systems can monitor students’ learning progress in real time. For instance, when a student is doing exercises online, the system can immediately point out mistakes and offer detailed explanations. Personalized learning plans based on AI can customize courses according to each student’s strengths and weaknesses. The advantages of AI in education are obvious. It enhances learning efficiency and makes the learning process more interesting. However, there are also potential problems. Data security is a concern as a large amount of student information is collected. Moreover, some students might overly rely on AI and lose their independent thinking ability.

I joined in the middle of the school year. There were 41 students in my new class. I was the 42nd. All my classmates sat in pairs except for this one girl, Kate. I went and sat down next to her and gave her a small, uncertain smile. She smiled in return. The class started and we didn’t talk until lunch time. At lunch time, I pulled out my lunch box, packed by my mother. It had fried rice with home-made cakes and a small box of fruits. Clearly my mom had spent time packing this yummy lunch. This girl took out a small box with bread butter inside. In India, it’s pretty rare for kids to just get bread butter for lunch. The only time I had bread butter for lunch was if my mom was unwell. So I thought that was what the problem here was. I offered her a small part of my lunch and forgot all about it. The next day, she again had bread butter. Well, I thought, her mother might have fallen ill, so she was taking time to recover. I again offered her a part of my lunch. This went on for a week. Then one day, I asked the one question that I shouldn’t have. “Is your mom not well?” In fact, I wasn’t prepared for the answer. Later, I knew that her mother, who worked in a supermarket, was in poor health. She constantly stayed at home with no income. I didn’t know what to do. So I did the most obvious thing. I went home and told my mom that my lunch wasn’t enough and I still felt hungry after eating it. My mom started packing a bigger lunch. And in school, I’d tell Kate that my mom had packed me a lunch too big, so could she please help me finish it? Then I asked her what her favorite dish was. “Naan,” she whispered. 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。 When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I moved out of that school soon after and didn’t stay in touch with Kate. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled. Naan was not a common dish in our household, and my mom wasn’t sure if she could prepare it, but she promised she would try. The next day, I was thrilled to find that my lunch box now contained a piece of Naan, and I eagerly shared it with Kate. Seeing her smiling face made me feel really happy inside. From that day on, my mom would occasionally pack some Indian delicacies for me to share with Kate, and I would be more than happy to do so. I moved out of that school soon after and didn't stay in touch with Kate. However, this experience taught me an important lesson about kindness and understanding. Often we judge people too quickly, without realizing their underlying struggles. While it may seem small, sharing my lunch with Kate helped me to connect with her on a deeper level and to understand her better. As I grew older, I would try to apply this lesson in my daily life – to be a little kinder, a little more empathetic, and a little more understanding of people's struggles. 【解析】 【导语】本文以回忆为线索，叙述了作者和同桌Kate相遇后，了解到她家庭情况后，决定与母亲一起帮助Kate的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我告诉我妈妈我非常想要馕饼时，她感到困惑”可知，第一段可描写作者发现母亲给他准他了馕饼，并与Kate分享。 ②由第二段首句内容“不久之后，我就搬出了那所学校，没有和凯特保持联系”可知，第二段可描写作者对自己的经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：告诉母亲——看到馕饼——分享——搬出学校——感悟 3.词汇激活 行类 ①分享：share/divide/split ②准备：prepare/intend/draw up ③判断：judge/estimate/assess 情绪类 ①开心：happy/content/joyous ②激动：thrill/excit/amaze 【点睛】[高分句型1]Seeing her smiling face made me feel really happy inside.

B Sarah Moore rushed her two-year-old daughter Lacie Moore to hospital after she was hurt. The worried mum from Morecambe, Lancashire, left her car on a double yellow line outside the Lancaster hospital and raced inside with her daughter. When Sarah returned to her car, rather than finding a parking ticket, she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note, saying that they had “sweet talked” the traffic warden (交通管理员) into not giving her a ticket. “They didn’t have to do that-it made things a lot easier,” the grateful mum said. “I was fully expecting to come out of the hospital and to have a parking ticket, and I had come to terms with that.” The dramatic evening began on the evening of July 2 when Lacie split her head open on the hinge (铰链) of a door. Lacie ripped on the carpet and hit the hinge. When Sarah picked her up there was blood everywhere. It terrified Sarah, who quickly switched into action mode. There was no time to call for an ambulance so Sarah just put her in the car and got her there in 15 minutes. It was scary. When she arrived at the hospital Sarah ignored the warnings of ambulance staff about potential traffic wardens and raced inside. The note she found on her car when she returned made sure a difficult day was made just a little bit easier. It read: “Good afternoon, we noticed you left your car here as you rushed your child into A&E. (We tried to warn you about getting a ticket.) We spoke with the traffic warden and told him about your situation and managed to sweet talk him into letting you off under the circumstances. He wanted us to let you know that you can leave it in the ambulance bay across the road. We hope your little one is okay. Kindest regards.” 4. What does the underlined phrase “sweet talked” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Trick somebody with some sweets. B. Confuse somebody with sweet words. C. Convince somebody in a pleasant way. D. Persuade somebody with solid evidence. 5. What do we know about Sarah? A. She thought she would be fined. B. No one noticed her park her car. C. She injured her daughter at home. D. She paid a parking fine in the end. 6. Who wrote the note for Sarah? A. Ambulance staff. B. Traffic wardens. C. Doctors in A&E. D. Passers-by. 7. What can be the best title for this text? A. A Fair Warden B. A Lucky Mother C. A Warm Surprise D. A Thoughtful Parking Ticket C The way we listen to music has changed. Our parents and grandparents listened to music recorded on old vinyl records (黑胶唱片) played on an expensive record player. In 1982, SONY invented CDs which were smaller and much easier to store than vinyl records. Nearly overnight, the life of vinyl came to an end. Soon after, we all got mobile phones and began to access music online. Today, we can easily listen to anything we want to. Some of the greatest music we have ever heard was originally recorded on vinyl. For example, the Beatles recorded all their music on vinyl in the 1950s and 1960s. All those years ago, many people had large collections of records which filled their homes. One such person was Bob George. He started his career as a DJ and record producer. He loved to collect vinyl records and owned 47, 000 of them! Because vinyl records were quite large, he knew that they were often thrown away when people needed more space. He decided he would like to collect every piece of music written after 1945. It would be a collection of a very important part of our musical heritage (遗产). Word of Bob’s ambition spread around the music industry. In 1985, A-Square Records called him asking for help. They had 150, 000 vinyl records. The house where they were stored was sinking under their weigh! Bob was happy to take the records off their hands, and his archive (档案馆) began to grow. Bob called it the Archive of Contemporary Music. He also included in his collection old photos, books and other valuable things. Many professional musicians have been able to help with the archive. It is also used when it comes to choosing music for new films. Tom Hanks spent hours researching music for his film “That Thing You Do!”. Today, the archive is home to over 3, 000, 000 sound records and 90 million songs. It requires a huge amount of space and the hunt is now on for a bigger place. It’s a dream world for any music lover. We hope that space will be found and the collection can continue to grow. 8. Why does the author write the first paragraph? A. To introduce a topic for discussion. B. To summarize the development of technology. C To inspire people to store vinyl records. D. To provide background information. 9. What can we know about Bob? A. He only collects vinyl records. B. He is passionate about music. C. He was interested in collecting CDs. D. He began his career as a collector. 10. What can be learned about the Archive of Contemporary Music? A. It is run by the government. B. It includes the Beatles’ records. C. It is developing not at a fast speed. D. It takes over A-Square Records’ records. 11. What does the author think of the archive? A. It excites people’s interest in films. B. It will make money for Bob George. C. It will make some big adjustments. D. It is precious for music enthusiasts. D A Harvard research team’s first model of a portable exosuit (机械护甲) is made of cloth components worn on the waist and upper legs. A computer that’s built into the shorts can sense when the user shifts between walking and running. Say the word “exosuit” and super heroes come to mind-somebody like Tony Stark from Marvel Comics, whose fancy suit enables him to become Iron Man. But scientists at Harvard University have been developing an actual exosuit, a wearable machine that can improve an average man’s strength and toughness. This model improves a wearer’s performance while he is walking or running. The lead researcher Conor Walsh says when you put on his team’s suit, you definitely notice that it’s pulling across your joints, so you feel the drive from the suit. But after a while, you don’t really notice it anymore. The suit helps to extend the hip joint, saving the user’s energy. Though you might not notice it, when you shut the suit off after a few minutes of having it turned on, Walsh says, “You really quickly notice that your legs feel a little bit heavier.” Walsh says, “This suit could be helpful for a soldier carrying heavy weights over long distances.” Research on the suit was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is part of the United States Department of Defense and develops military technology. “Other future models might help people with medical problems like Parkinson’s disease to move more easily,” he says. “My lab cooperates with a company on a suit to help stroke survivors that is now commercially available.” Karl Zelik, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University, calls the team’s effort “promising work”. Zelik says it will enhance human abilities during various aspects of daily life. However, he notes that the exosuit field is changing fast. In the future, he says, the best assist devices may not be exosuits at all, but rather technology put inside a person’s body. He predicts that future wearables will also be able to figure out the wearer’s movement intention, and influence it when necessary to improve human performance. 12. What may the exosuit do? A. Cover the user’s wrist and upper legs. B. Sharpen a wearer’s performance of walking C. Enable a person to become a superhero. D. Sense the user’s shift from walking to running. 13. How will people feel when they take the suit off after wearing it for a few minutes? A. Their legs may feel a little heavier. B. Their body may not feel anything strange. C. Their joints will feel pulled by some strength. D. Their body may feel the driving force from it. 14. What do Walsh’s words in Paragraph 4 suggest? A. The suit can safeguard soldiers in the distance. B. He works directly for American military force. C. A certain model of a suit can be purchased now. D. Current models benefit Patients with Parkinson. 15. What’s Zelik’s attitude towards the future of exosuits? A. Promising. B. Indifferent. C. Hopeless. D.

I joined in the middle of the school year. There were 41 students in my new class. I was the 42nd. All my classmates sat in pairs except for this one girl, Kate. I went and sat down next to her and gave her a small, uncertain smile. She smiled in return. The class started and we didn’t talk until lunch time. At lunch time, I pulled out my lunch box, packed by my mother. It had fried rice with home-made cakes and a small box of fruits. Clearly my mom had spent time packing this yummy lunch. This girl took out a small box with bread butter inside. In India, it’s pretty rare for kids to just get bread butter for lunch. The only time I had bread butter for lunch was if my mom was unwell. So I thought that was what the problem here was. I offered her a small part of my lunch and forgot all about it. The next day, she again had bread butter. Well, I thought, her mother might have fallen ill, so she was taking time to recover. I again offered her a part of my lunch. This went on for a week. Then one day, I asked the one question that I shouldn’t have. “Is your mom not well?” In fact, I wasn’t prepared for the answer. Later, I knew that her mother, who worked in a supermarket, was in poor health. She constantly stayed at home with no income. I didn’t know what to do. So I did the most obvious thing. I went home and told my mom that my lunch wasn’t enough and I still felt hungry after eating it. My mom started packing a bigger lunch. And in school, I’d tell Kate that my mom had packed me a lunch too big, so could she please help me finish it? Then I asked her what her favorite dish was. “Naan,” she whispered. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I moved out of that school soon after and didn’t stay in touch with Kate. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 ACBAB 6~10BCABB 11~15CBACB 16~20ACBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
