Dragging yourself out of bed in the morning and off to work is hard, especially on dark winter mornings. You might be a little more inclined to head out of the house with a spring in your step if your commute started at Stevenage Station, where you’d be greeted by a ginger cat called Nala. Usually found sitting on a ticket gate, four-year-old Nala lives close to the station with her owner Natasha Ambler, and often heads to station at rush hour to enjoy attention from commuters. Ambler created a social media page called The Adventures of Nala where hundreds of people have shared photos of the adventurous cat. Recent photos include Nala waiting in line for her “cat-purr-ccino” at Costa, snoozing(打盹)on newspaper stands and posing with commuters at the station barriers. Nala wears a GPS tracking device so that her travels can be traced, and is usually found at the railway station or the next door leisure park. As well as the usual collar with her name and owner’s contact information, Nala wears a tag to let people know that she’s not lost. Ambler reported that she’s not worried about Nala in the slightest: She’s obviously well-loved and she’s very happy doing what she does—I just hope one day she doesn’t actually try to get on a train. Nala brings a ray of joy to Stevenage commuters with her playful antics. Her presence not only brightens mornings but also fosters a sense of community, as evidenced by the shared photos and interactions on social media. Her owner’s care and Nala’s adventurous spirit ensure that she’s a beloved and safe addition to the station environment. 4. What is morning commute usually like? A. Anything but fun. B. A little bit common. C. Kind of pleasant. D. Somewhat interesting. 5. What makes it possible for Nala to turn up regularly at Stevenage Station? A. Her owner’s love for her. B. Her desire to entertain commuters. C. The short distance from the station. D. Her preference for the ticket gate. 6. How does Ambler keep track of Nala? A. By following Nala all the way. B. By using a positioning device. C. By attaching a tag to Nala’s neck. D. By posting her contact information on line. 7. What is Ambler’s attitude towards Nala’s action? A. Concerned. B. Contradictory. C Opposed. D. Relieved. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只名为娜拉的猫如何在斯蒂夫尼奇火车站为通勤者的早晨增添乐趣的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The morning commute is never fun, but if you pass through Stevenage on your way to work, your morning might be a little brighter thanks to Nala the cat.(早晨的通勤或许从来都不是一件乐事，但如果你上班途中经过斯蒂夫尼奇，有了猫咪娜拉的陪伴，你的早晨或许会因此而明媚几分)”可知，早晨的通勤几乎无乐趣可言。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Usually found sitting on a ticket gate, four-year-old Nala lives close to the station with her owner Natasha Ambler, and often heads to station at rush hour to enjoy attention from commuters.(四岁的娜拉通常坐在检票口上，和她的主人Natasha Ambler住在车站附近，她经常在高峰时段前往车站，享受通勤者的关注)”可知，距离车站近使得娜拉可以定期出现在斯蒂夫尼奇车站。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Nala wears a GPS tracking device so that her travels can be traced, and is usually found at the railway station or the next door leisure park.(娜拉佩戴着GPS追踪器，以便记录她的行踪，通常她不是在火车站就是在隔壁的休闲公园被发现)”可知，Ambler使用定位装置追踪娜拉。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Ambler reported that she’s not worried about Nala in the slightest: She’s obviously well-loved and she’s very happy doing what she does—I just hope one day she doesn’t actually try to get on a train.(Ambler表示，她一点也不担心娜拉：显然，娜拉备受喜爱，而且她很享受自己所做的事——我只是希望有一天她不会真的尝试上火车)”可知，安布勒对娜拉的行为的态度是放心的。故选D项。 C Great whites, the largest predatory(捕食性的)sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now. Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters for sharks on July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara on California’s central coast. That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna’s drone camera. It was a shark pup(幼崽)unlike any they’d ever seen. “We enlarged the images, put them in slow motion, and realized the white layer was being shed(脱落)from the body as it was swimming,” Sternes said. “I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer.” These observations are documented in a new paper in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal. What Gauna and Sternes observed could help solve the longstanding mystery of great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have of a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred to only as white sharks by scientists, are gray on the top and white on the bottom. But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white. Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea. Great whites are listed as an international endangered species. “Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said. 8. What do we know about what appeared on Carlo s Gauna’s camera? A. It is rare in the world. B. It is tough to identify. C. It is not open to the public. D. It is unbelievable to scientists. 9. What does the white shark pup look like? A. Pure gray. B. White only on the bottom. C. Gray on the top. D. Pure white. 10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How great white females give birth to pups. B. How the authors prove they saw a baby shark. C. Why the authors believe they saw a newborn shark pup. D. Why the authors think the white layer is a skin condition. 11. What does Sternes hope for if their assumption is confirmed? A. Helping white sharks to stop breeding. B. Using laws to protect shark pups and their habitats. C. Listing white sharks as endangered species. D. Further study to confirm white sharks breeding waters. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了野生动物电影制片人Carlos Gauna和生物学家Phillip Sternes在加州海岸首次拍摄到疑似新生大白鲨脱去胚胎层的珍贵画面，这一发现可能揭示了大白鲨繁殖习惯的奥秘，为长期以来关于大白鲨出生地的推测提供了首个野外证据。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.(这在一定程度上是因为到目前为止，似乎还没有人在野外见过这种动物)”及第二段“That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna’s drone camera. It was a shark pup unlike any they’d ever seen.(那天，Gauna的无人机摄像机取景器中出现了令人兴奋的一幕。那是一条他们从未见过的鲨鱼幼崽)”可知，镜头中出现的鲨鱼幼崽在世界上是罕见的。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white.(但这只约5英尺长的鲨鱼全身纯白)”可知，白鲨幼崽看起来像纯白的。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea.(尽管论文作者承认鲨鱼脱落的白色层可能是皮肤状况造成的，但两人认为他们看到的实际上是一只新生的大白鲨。首先，大白雌性产下活的幼崽。第二个原因是这个地方有可能怀孕的大白鲨。最后，这个位于加利福尼亚州中部海岸的地方长期以来一直被认为是大白鲨的出生地。许多学者认为大白鲨出生在更远的海域)”可知，这一段主要讲述为什么作者认为他们看到了一只新生的鲨鱼幼崽。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said.(“需要进一步的研究来确认这些水域确实为大白鲨的繁殖地。但如果确定是，我们将希望立法者介入保护这些水域，帮助大白鲨继续繁盛。”Sternes说道)”可知，如果他们的假设得到证实，Sternes希望利用法律保护鲨鱼幼崽及其栖息地。故选B。 D Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can change energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. This method allows the robot to walk and pivot. “Research on biohybrid robots, which are a mix of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji Takeuchi of the University of Tokyo, Japan. “Using muscles as actuators allows us to build a compact robot and achieve efficient, silent movements with a soft touch.” The research team’s two-legged robot, an innovative bipedal design, builds on the legacy of biohybrid robots that take advantage of muscles. Muscle tissues have driven biohybrid robots to crawl and swim straight forward and make turns—but not sharp ones. Yet, being able to pivot and make sharp turns is an essential feature for robots to avoid obstacles. To build a nimbler robot with fine and delicate movements, the researchers designed a biohybrid robot that copies human gait and operates in water. By alternating the electric stimulation between the left and right leg every 5 seconds, the biohybrid robot successfully “walked” at the speed of 5.4m m/min(0.002 mph). To turn, researchers repeatedly zapped the right leg every 5 seconds while the left leg served as an anchor. The robot made a 90-degree left turn in 62 seconds. The findings showed that the muscle-driven bipedal robot can walk, stop, and make fine-tuned turning motions. “Currently, we are manually moving a pair of electrodes to apply an electric field individually to the legs, which takes time,” says Takeuchi. “In the future, by integrating the electrodes into the robot, we expect to increase the speed more efficiently. The team also plans to give joints and thicker muscle tissues to the bipedal robot to enable more complicated and powerful movements. 12. What is the weakness of a robot? A. Awkward to move. B. Complex to operate. C. Tough to control. D. Easy to lose energy. 13. What does the underlined word “nimbler” in paragraph 4 mean? A. More stylish. B. More flexible. C. More intelligent. D. More suitable. 14. What will the team do next? A. Add more power to the bipedal robot. B. Expand the use of the bipedal robot. C. Better the bipedal robot’s movements. D. Apply an electric field to the bipedal robot. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Biohybrid robots are a mix of biology and mechanics B. Human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements C. Making sharp turns is essential for robots to avoid obstacles D. Scientists designed a two-legged robot powered by muscle tissues 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种两足机器人，来优化机器人难以移动的弱点，介绍了这种机器人的特点和未来应用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can change energy efficiently into movement.(与机器人相比，人的身体是灵活的，能够精细的运动，并能有效地将能量转化为运动)”可推知，机器人的弱点是难以移动。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“robot with fine and delicate movements, the researchers designed a biohybrid robot that copies human gait and operates in water”可知，研究人员设计了一种生物混合机器人，它可以模仿人类的步态，并在水中操作，说明这样的机器人动作更精细、更灵活。故划线词意思是“更灵活的”。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team also plans to give joints and thicker muscle tissues to the bipedal robot to enable more complicated and powerful movements.(该团队还计划为双足机器人提供关节和更厚的肌肉组织，以实现更复杂、更有力的运动)”可知，团队接下来要改善双足机器人的动作。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The research team’s two-legged robot, an innovative bipedal design, builds on the legacy of biohybrid robots that take advantage of muscles. Muscle tissues have driven biohybrid robots to crawl and swim straight forward and make turns—but not sharp ones.(该研究小组的两足机器人是一种创新的两足设计，建立在利用肌肉的生物混合机器人的传统之上。肌肉组织驱动生物混合机器人向前爬行和游泳，并转弯——但不是急转弯)”结合文章主要介绍了一种两足机器人，来优化机器人难以移动的弱点，介绍了这种机器人的特点和未来应用。可知，D选项“科学家设计了一种由肌肉组织提供动力的两条腿机器人”最符合文章标题。故选D。 三、七选五 With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our ‘to do’ list. ___16___ The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think-no matter who you are, or when you like to work out. ___17___ Many of us have more free time in the morning compared to later in the day and it may therefore be easier for us to stick to a morning workout routine. A 2010 study conducted by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that participants who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could burn more fat and increase metabolism (新陈代谢) too. So, good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones. ___18___Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is quickest, and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, which reduce your chance of injury while improving performance. But does any of this change depend on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different, after all, so the best time to exercise may be different. A 2022 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. ___19___ Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. But, ultimately, the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day. So what time is best? ___20___. A. So does your amount of exercise count? B. Want to lose weight and be more charming? C. There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. D. It seems the answer is: whatever time is best for you! E. Want to reduce your blood pressure and you’re a woman? F. For example, your body’s ability to perform peaks in the afternoon. G. So could exercising at certain times help maximize our fitness goals? 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一天中的最佳锻炼时间 【16题详解】 上文“With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our ‘to do’ list. (在我们已经忙碌的生活中，找时间锻炼就像是我们“要做”的清单上的另一件事。)”提到了锻炼的问题，下文“The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think - no matter who you are, or when you like to work out. (答案是肯定的，但这比你想象的要容易——不管你是谁，也不管你喜欢什么时候锻炼。)”是对有关锻炼问题的一个回答，选项G中exercising是关键词与上文呼应，所以G选项“那么，在特定的时间锻炼能帮助我们达到最大的健身目标吗？”能承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 下文“A 2010 study conducted by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that participants who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could burn more fat and increase metabolism (新陈代谢)too. (《斯堪的纳维亚体育医学与科学杂志》在2010年进行的一项研究发现，早上锻炼的参与者，在一天中增加体力活动，更少被食物分散注意力，睡眠更好。早餐前空腹锻炼可以燃烧更多的脂肪，促进新陈代谢。)”提到了晨练的好处，选项C中exercising in the morning是关键词，与下文呼应，所以C选项“早上锻炼有明显的好处。”能概括下文内容。故选C项。 【18题详解】 上文“Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones. (在下午或晚上锻炼也有好处，只是好处不同。)”提到了下午或晚上锻炼，选项F中in the afternoon是关键词，与上文呼应，所以F选项“例如，你身体的工作能力在下午达到顶峰。”能承接上文。故选F项。 【19题详解】 下文“Exercise in the morning. (早晨锻炼。)”提到了早晨锻炼，继续说“Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. (想要改善你的心脏健康，而你是一个男人？晚上对你比较合适。)”提到了晚上锻炼，此处上下文是表对比的关系，所以E选项“如果你是女性，想要降低血压？”能与下文构成对比关系。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“So what time is best? (那么什么时间最合适呢？)”是询问时间，所以D选项“答案似乎是：任何时间对你来说都是最好的！”是对上文的回答，符合语境。故选D项。 四、完形填空 Dave Hall led Surprise Squad, an organization to bring surprise to those in need, on a mission to spread joy at a local Albertsons store.

I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person. I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside. After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby. Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two?” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me?” he said. Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table. Paragraph 1: Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Daddy opened it to a man I’d never seen before. He was holding a big box. “this is for you and your family,” he said, “Merry Christmas!” The man was gone before Daddy even had a chance to invite him in. Daddy put the box on the table and opened it up. Inside was an envelope and a lot of food! Daddy read the letter from the envelope. “May you be happy!” Paragraph 2: Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. The first thing was a big can of pork and beans. Buddy Earl’s eyes went wide. “An angel came to our door today,” Mama said as she pulled out a big box of Sugar Crisp. With gratitude, we had a happy Christmas. Not long after the festival, Daddy was called back to work. My sister recovered from her illness. I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。 【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者家里不富裕，由于姐姐生病和爸爸被解雇交不起电费被停电。作者和妈妈亲自去交电费，在商场见到了圣诞老人，圣诞老人和作者交谈后又和妈妈交谈，还在本上记录了些东西。圣诞节早上我们聚在圣诞树下，没有玩具也没有礼物。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：突然响起了敲门声，所以下文应该写谁来了，发生了什么事。是有人送来了一箱食物和一封信。第二段开头是：妈妈和爸爸对视了一下，她从盒子里打开了食物。本段应该写一家人看到了什么和节日后得到了哪些救济。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：had a chance , went wide , With gratitude, recovered from 等词语。Inside was an envelope and a lot of food!运用了倒装句；I even received a new coat, which was thicker than my old one and kept me warm.运用了定语从句。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 日照天立高级中学2024学年下学期3月质量检测 高二年级英语学科试题 （总分：150 考试时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2. 请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 一、听力选择题 1.

B The morning commute(通勤)is never fun, but if you pass through Stevenage on your way to work, your morning might be a little brighter thanks to Nala the cat. Dragging yourself out of bed in the morning and off to work is hard, especially on dark winter mornings. You might be a little more inclined to head out of the house with a spring in your step if your commute started at Stevenage Station, where you’d be greeted by a ginger cat called Nala. Usually found sitting on a ticket gate, four-year-old Nala lives close to the station with her owner Natasha Ambler, and often heads to station at rush hour to enjoy attention from commuters. Ambler created a social media page called The Adventures of Nala where hundreds of people have shared photos of the adventurous cat. Recent photos include Nala waiting in line for her “cat-purr-ccino” at Costa, snoozing(打盹)on newspaper stands and posing with commuters at the station barriers. Nala wears a GPS tracking device so that her travels can be traced, and is usually found at the railway station or the next door leisure park. As well as the usual collar with her name and owner’s contact information, Nala wears a tag to let people know that she’s not lost. Ambler reported that she’s not worried about Nala in the slightest: She’s obviously well-loved and she’s very happy doing what she does—I just hope one day she doesn’t actually try to get on a train. Nala brings a ray of joy to Stevenage commuters with her playful antics. Her presence not only brightens mornings but also fosters a sense of community, as evidenced by the shared photos and interactions on social media. Her owner’s care and Nala’s adventurous spirit ensure that she’s a beloved and safe addition to the station environment. 4. What is morning commute usually like? A. Anything but fun. B. A little bit common. C. Kind of pleasant. D. Somewhat interesting. 5. What makes it possible for Nala to turn up regularly at Stevenage Station? A. Her owner’s love for her. B. Her desire to entertain commuters. C. The short distance from the station. D. Her preference for the ticket gate. 6. How does Ambler keep track of Nala? A. By following Nala all the way. B. By using a positioning device. C. By attaching a tag to Nala’s neck. D. By posting her contact information on line. 7. What is Ambler’s attitude towards Nala’s action? A. Concerned. B. Contradictory. C. Opposed. D. Relieved. C Great whites, the largest predatory(捕食性的)sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now. Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters for sharks on July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara on California’s central coast. That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna’s drone camera. It was a shark pup(幼崽)unlike any they’d ever seen. “We enlarged the images, put them in slow motion, and realized the white layer was being shed(脱落)from the body as it was swimming,” Sternes said. “I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer.” These observations are documented in a new paper in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal. What Gauna and Sternes observed could help solve the longstanding mystery of great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have of a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred to only as white sharks by scientists, are gray on the top and white on the bottom. But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white. Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea. Great whites are listed as an international endangered species. “Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said. 8. What do we know about what appeared on Carlo s Gauna’s camera? A. It is rare in the world. B. It is tough to identify. C. It is not open to the public. D. It is unbelievable to scientists. 9. What does the white shark pup look like? A. Pure gray. B. White only on the bottom. C. Gray on the top. D. Pure white. 10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. How great white females give birth to pups. B. How the authors prove they saw a baby shark. C. Why the authors believe they saw a newborn shark pup. D. Why the authors think the white layer is a skin condition. 11. What does Sternes hope for if their assumption is confirmed? A. Helping white sharks to stop breeding. B Using laws to protect shark pups and their habitats. C. Listing white sharks as endangered species. D. Further study to confirm white sharks breeding waters. D Compared to robots, human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements, and can change energy efficiently into movement. Drawing inspiration from human gait, researchers from Japan crafted a two-legged biohybrid robot by combining muscle tissues and artificial materials. This method allows the robot to walk and pivot. “Research on biohybrid robots, which are a mix of biology and mechanics, is recently attracting attention as a new field of robotics featuring biological function,” says corresponding author Shoji Takeuchi of the University of Tokyo, Japan. “Using muscles as actuators allows us to build a compact robot and achieve efficient, silent movements with a soft touch.” The research team’s two-legged robot, an innovative bipedal design, builds on the legacy of biohybrid robots that take advantage of muscles. Muscle tissues have driven biohybrid robots to crawl and swim straight forward and make turns—but not sharp ones. Yet, being able to pivot and make sharp turns is an essential feature for robots to avoid obstacles. To build a nimbler robot with fine and delicate movements, the researchers designed a biohybrid robot that copies human gait and operates in water. By alternating the electric stimulation between the left and right leg every 5 seconds, the biohybrid robot successfully “walked” at the speed of 5.4m m/min(0.002 mph). To turn, researchers repeatedly zapped the right leg every 5 seconds while the left leg served as an anchor. The robot made a 90-degree left turn in 62 seconds. The findings showed that the muscle-driven bipedal robot can walk stop, and make fine-tuned turning motions. “Currently, we are manually moving a pair of electrodes to apply an electric field individually to the legs, which takes time,” says Takeuchi. “In the future, by integrating the electrodes into the robot, we expect to increase the speed more efficiently. The team also plans to give joints and thicker muscle tissues to the bipedal robot to enable more complicated and powerful movements. 12. What is the weakness of a robot? A. Awkward to move. B. Complex to operate. C. Tough to control. D. Easy to lose energy. 13. What does the underlined word “nimbler” in paragraph 4 mean? A. More stylish. B. More flexible. C. More intelligent. D. More suitable. 14. What will the team do next? A. Add more power to the bipedal robot. B. Expand the use of the bipedal robot. C. Better the bipedal robot’s movements. D. Apply an electric field to the bipedal robot. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Biohybrid robots are a mix of biology and mechanics B. Human bodies are flexible, capable of fine movements C. Making sharp turns is essential for robots to avoid obstacles D. Scientists designed a two-legged robot powered by muscle tissues 三、七选五 With our already busy lives, finding time to exercise can feel like one more thing on our ‘to do’ list. ___16___ The answer is ‘yes’, but it’s easier than you think-no matter who you are, or when you like to work out. ___17___ Many of us have more free time in the morning compared to later in the day, and it may therefore be easier for us to stick to a morning workout routine. A 2010 study conducted by the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that participants who exercised in the morning, increased their physical activity throughout the day, were less distracted by food, and slept better. Exercising on an empty stomach before breakfast could burn more fat and increase metabolism (新陈代谢) too. So, good news for early birds, but what if you’re not a morning person? Working out in the afternoon or evening also has benefits, just different ones. ___18___Also, in the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is quickest, and your heart rate and blood pressure are lowest, which reduce your chance of injury while improving performance. But does any of this change depend on whether you’re a man or a woman? Our bodies are different, after all, so the best time to exercise may be different. A 2022 study from Skidmore College, New York, looked at exactly this question and the results showed that there are some differences. ___19___ Exercise in the morning. Want to improve your heart health and you’re a man? Evening is better for you. But, ultimately, the study found that there are clear benefits for both sexes to exercising at either time of day. So what time is best? ___20___. A. So does your amount of exercise count? B. Want to lose weight and be more charming? C. There are clear benefits to exercising in the morning. D. It seems the answer is: whatever time is best for you! E. Want to reduce your blood pressure and you’re a woman? F. For example, your body’s ability to perform peaks in the afternoon. G.

I might have wished to be at home, but those days it wasn’t much warmer there than it was standing at the bus stop. Mama had written a letter to the electric company explaining that we were late paying our bill because my sister was ill and Daddy had been laid off, but the power was cut off anyway. That’s why we were on our way into town to pay the bill in person. I sat close to Buddy Earl for warmth on the bus when it finally showed up. The walk to the electric company office from the bus stop was only a couple of blocks, but it was a relief to get inside. After settling the bill Mama brought us over to Rich’s department store. There was Santa in a big wooden chair. “You two go talk to him,” she said. “Just don’t expect to get all you ask for.” Buddy Earl and I joined the line of children waiting, and Mama sat on a bench nearby. Then Santa started talking with us and asked us what we wanted. Santa reached in his pocket, pulled out a notepad and scribbled something with a pencil. “Is your mother with you two?” he asked. I pointed to the bench. “That’s our mama over there. She’s waiting for us to finish.” Santa lifted Buddy Earl off his knee. “Could you ask her to come and talk to me?” he said. Later, Mama and Santa talked for a few minutes. Santa took a couple more notes. Then Mama brought us home. We didn’t dare ask about their private conversation. Christmas morning Mama and Daddy gathered us around our tree to give thanks for all we had. There were no toys from Santa under the tree. No presents at all, really. But that was okay, especially since we had electricity again. I felt pretty good as I took my seat at the kitchen table. Paragraph 1: Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Mama and Daddy looked at each other, and she unpacked the food from the box. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
