Unicycling is so cool — you can try tricks (花招) on it, such as hopping (跳跃), sliding, and even throwing things while cycling.” Maddy spends her free time making and wearing clothes that are shown on popular Japanese programs and video games. “It’s been really great for me as I was really shy before taking us cosplay,” she says. “I get stopped by people at public places for taking photos of the clothes I made by myself. That’s pretty sweet.” Jacob became interested in weather when he was 9 years old. He wanted to know why Los Angeles hardly ever had rainstorms. Then he began teaching himself weather forecasting (天气预报). “I joined a week-long summer program on weather forecasting at Pennsylvania State University.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了三个青少年各自的兴趣爱好和成就。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Unicycling is so cool-you can try tricks on it, such as hopping, sliding, and even throwing things while cycling.”可知，独轮车最酷的地方在于你可以在车上尝试各种花招。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Jacob became interested in weather when he was 9 years old.”及“I joined a week-long summer program on weather forecasting at Pennsylvania State University.”可知，Jacob在9岁时开始对天气感兴趣，现在在上大学，年龄大概在17岁左右，由此可推，他对天气感兴趣已经有8年了。故选C。 【3题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Now he runs his own weather forecast website.”可知，此处指经营管理网站。选项B“她的祖父经营一家大工厂。”符合题意。故选B。 B While the mobile Internet is changing the way we live, more and more old people in China are getting in on the digital (数字的) world. Yang Su, a 61-year-old micro vlogger (短视频博主), has more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app Douyin. “Two and a half years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on Douyin, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered. After finishing his studies in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, he became a pianist. With the development of the Internet, he walked into a new world. He filmed over 600 short videos and opened an official account (官方账户) on WeChat to share articles and offer online piano lessons. However, do other old people get used to the digital world like Yang? Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan. “I got my smartphone more than one year ago, but I only use WeChat for video calls,” he said. Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps. ____________ Luo Xu, a post-90s volunteer, joined a non-profit (非营利性的) group in Beijing nine years ago to teach old people how to use the Internet. “While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of satisfaction.” Luo said. 4.

Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan...Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps.”可知，作者通过丁秋林的例子说明并非所有老年人都能适应数字化世界。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段举例说明了并非所有老年人都习惯了数字世界；第五段又讲了90后志愿者罗旭加入一个非营利组织去教老年人如何使用互联网。因此，空白处应体现年轻人对老年人数字化生活的帮助。D选项“幸运的是，年轻人正在数字世界和老年人之间架起一座桥梁。”承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 【7题详解】 观点态度题。根据“‘While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of satisfaction.’ Luo said.”可知，罗旭认为他的工作很有意义。故选B。 C If you have trouble sleeping, try the new bus service in Hong Kong, China. The five-hour ride is called the “Sleeping Bus Tour”, which is for people who cannot sleep well. “When we were thinking about new tours. I saw a post (帖子) from my friend saying that he was stressed by his work and that he couldn’t sleep well,” said Kenneth Kong, the development manager of Ulu travel. “But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well. His post gave me the idea for this tour. ” Tickets for the first “Sleeping Bus Tour” were sold out right away. “The tickets were so popular that I almost missed the chance. ” said 25-year-old Anson Kong, one of the passengers on the first bus tour. He said that the tour was a good idea and that it was more interesting than he had thought. Many people find it easy to fall asleep during a long bus trip. Why? According to smartsleepingtips. com. , there are three possible reasons. ◆ White noise Cars, buses and trains have a perfect environment that makes white noise. The noise blocks out (阻挡) other sounds, making it easier for passengers to feel sleepy. ◆ Rocking (晃的) movement Babies are often rocked to sleep. Sitting on a bus gives people the similar feelings. ◆An increase (增加) in CO2 Buses and trains get crowded with people going to and from work, and CO2 increases when there are lots of people. As less oxygen (氧气) gets into the brain, people will feel sleepy quickly. 8. When did Kenneth Kong get the idea for the tour? A. After he had a good sleep on a bus tour. B. After he read a friend’s post about sleeping. C. After he saw a mom rock her baby in her arm. D. After he talked to a friend-about sleeping problems. 9. What does the underlined “it” refer to? A.

Which is the purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to change their sleeping habits. B. To discuss the best way to do with sleeping problems. C. To show how sleeping problems harm people’s health. D. To show how the bus tour makes a difference to sleeping. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种帮助人睡好觉的巴士旅游，并且分析了在长途巴士旅行中很好入睡的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I saw a post from my friend saying that he was stressed by his work and that he couldn’t sleep well”及“But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well. His post gave me the idea for this tour.”可知，当他看到朋友发出一个有关睡眠的帖子之后想出了这个想法。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“He said that the tour was a good idea and that it was more interesting than he had thought.”可知，此处指评价这一旅行比想象中更有趣，因此“it”代指“the tour”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Rocking movement”及“Babies are often rocked to sleep. Sitting on a bus gives people the similar feelings.”可知，摇晃运动类似哄婴儿入睡的原理。选项A“适当的摇晃运动帮助睡眠”符合题意。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍“睡眠巴士”的创意、受欢迎程度及背后的科学原理，核心是展示该巴士如何帮助改善睡眠。选项D“说明巴士旅行如何影响睡眠”符合题意。故选D。 D ①You 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 give food and drinks to the guests, and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you touched their heads. But are robot waiters the future? ②Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortage (短缺). In some places, there are not enough workers. And robots can be used instead of humans, so sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of hundreds of them now moving through eating places all over the world. ③In 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 bought two more. Now, one robot leads guests to their seats while another brings some food to tables. 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. “I spend around $15,000 on a robot, but $5,000 to $6,000 per month on a person,”he said. ④But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace (取代) humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas or floors of a restaurant. Restaurants are pretty noisy places, so it’s very hard to use technology in a useful and productive way, said Craig Le Clair from the advising company Forrester. ⑤Still, the use of robot waiters is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its Servirobots in 2021. The company expects to have 10,000 produced by the end of this year in 44 US states and overseas. In China, Shenzhen-based Pudu Robotics, which was set up in 2016, has made more than 56,000 robots. With the development in AI, it won’t be long before they become part of our everyday life. 12. What does the writer want to explain by telling the story of Li Zhai? A. It’s expensive to buy a robot waiter. B. Robot waiters help solve worker shortage. C. Robot waiters are more useful than workers. D. Finding workers in Michigan is not difficult. 13. What can we learn from the passage __________. A. It’s impossible for robots to replace human waiters B. Robot waiters can do all kinds of work in restaurants C. There have already been robots working in restaurants D. It is too expensive to use robot waiters in restaurants now 14. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of robot waiters? A. Shocked. B. Hopeful. C. Unsure. D. Worried. 15. Which of the following shows the RIGHT structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了机器人在餐厅中的应用及其未来发展前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“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.”可知，文中通过举例说明机器人服务员有助于解决工人短缺问题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You may have already seen them in some restaurants around the world: robots.”及“There are tens of hundreds of them now moving through eating places all over the world.”可知，机器人已经在一些餐厅中工作。故选C。 【14题详解】 观点态度题。根据“With the development in AI, it won’t be long before they become part of our everyday life.”可知，随着人工智能的发展，它们将很快成为我们日常生活的一部分。由此可知，作者对机器人服务员的未来是充满希望的，故选B。 【15题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段提出本文的观点——机器人服务员是否是未来；第二、三段介绍正观点：人们认为机器人可以代替人类使用，第四段介绍反观点：人们认为机器人代替人类工作还有很长的路要走；第五段介绍现在一些机器人生产公司的生产情况以及作者对机器人服务员未来的态度。故选D。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 下面材料中有四处需要添加句子，请从以下选项(A、B、C、D和E)中选出符合各段意思的句子，选项中有一项是多余选项。然后，完成问答题 (请注意词数要求)。 How to Bond (建立互信关系) with Your Pets Having a pet is a great thing for many people.

He says, “It isn’t as easy as it looks. You can try learning it from someone who knows how to unicycle, or you can take up lessons. Unicycling is so cool — you can try tricks (花招) on it, such as hopping (跳跃), sliding, and even throwing things while cycling.” Maddy spends her free time making and wearing clothes that are shown on popular Japanese programs and video games. “It’s been really great for me as I was really shy before taking us cosplay,” she says. “I get stopped by people at public places for taking photos of the clothes I made by myself. That’s pretty sweet.” Jacob became interested in weather when he was 9 years old. He wanted to know why Los Angeles hardly ever had rainstorms. Then he began teaching himself weather forecasting (天气预报). “I joined a week-long summer program on weather forecasting at Pennsylvania State University. I love that feeling when a storm is finally dying down and you know your forecast is right,” Jacob says. Now he runs his own weather forecast website (网站). 1. What makes unicycling so cool according to Andy? A. You can try tricks on it. B. You can teach yourself. C. You can learn it easily. D. You can join TV programs. 2. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A. Andy is the oldest of the three teens. B. Maddy is still shy after taking up cosplay. C. Jacob has been interested in weather for 8 years. D.

Her grandfather runs a big factory. C. The tape runs to the end but records nothing. D. He runs to school with his schoolbag every morning. B While the mobile Internet is changing the way we live, more and more old people in China are getting in on the digital (数字的) world. Yang Su, a 61-year-old micro vlogger (短视频博主), has more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app Douyin. “Two and a half years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on Douyin, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered. After finishing his studies in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, he became a pianist. With the development of the Internet, he walked into a new world. He filmed over 600 short videos and opened an official account (官方账户) on WeChat to share articles and offer online piano lessons. However, do other old people get used to the digital world like Yang? Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan. “I got my smartphone more than one year ago, but I only use WeChat for video calls,” he said. Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps. ____________ Luo Xu, a post-90s volunteer, joined a non-profit (非营利性的) group in Beijing nine years ago to teach old people how to use the Internet. “While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of satisfaction.” Luo said. 4.

C If you have trouble sleeping, try the new bus service in Hong Kong, China. The five-hour ride is called the “Sleeping Bus Tour”, which is for people who cannot sleep well. “When we were thinking about new tours. I saw a post (帖子) from my friend saying that he was stressed by his work and that he couldn’t sleep well,” said Kenneth Kong, the development manager of Ulu travel. “But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well. His post gave me the idea for this tour. ” Tickets for the first “Sleeping Bus Tour” were sold out right away. “The tickets were so popular that I almost missed the chance. ” said 25-year-old Anson Kong, one of the passengers on the first bus tour. He said that the tour was a good idea and that it was more interesting than he had thought. Many people find it easy to fall asleep during a long bus trip. Why? According to smartsleepingtips. com. there are three possible reasons. ◆ White noise Cars, buses and trains have a perfect environment that makes white noise. The noise blocks out (阻挡) other sounds, making it easier for passengers to feel sleepy. ◆ Rocking (晃的) movement Babies are often rocked to sleep. Sitting on a bus gives people the similar feelings. ◆An increase (增加) in CO2 Buses and trains get crowded with people going to and from work, and CO2 increases when there are lots of people. As less oxygen (氧气) gets into the brain, people will feel sleepy quickly. 8. When did Kenneth Kong get the idea for the tour? A. After he had a good sleep on a bus tour. B. After he read a friend’s post about sleeping. C. After he saw a mom rock her baby in her arm. D. After he talked to a friend-about sleeping problems. 9. What does the underlined “it” refer to? A. The ticket. B. The tour. C. The post. D. The bus. 10. According to smartsleepingtips. com, what can we learn from the passage? A Proper rocking movement can help people sleep. B. People have trouble sleeping during long bus trips. C. It’s difficult for people to fall asleep on noisy buses. D. More oxygen can help people fall asleep more quickly. 11. Which is the purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to change their sleeping habits. B. To discuss the best way to do with sleeping problems. C. To show how sleeping problems harm people’s health. D. To show how the bus tour makes a difference to sleeping. D ①You 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 give food and drinks to the guests, and bring dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even make noises when you touched their heads. But are robot waiters the future? ②Many people think robot waiters are the answer to worker shortage (短缺). In some places, there are not enough workers. And robots can be used instead of humans, so sales of robots have been growing in recent years. There are tens of hundreds of them now moving through eating places all over the world. ③In 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 bought two more. Now, one robot leads guests to their seats while another brings some food to tables. 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. “I spend around $15,000 on a robot, but $5,000 to $6,000 per month on a person,”he said. ④But others say robot waiters still have a long way to go before they can replace (取代) humans. They cannot take orders. And they cannot walk up steps to different areas or floors of a restaurant. Restaurants are pretty noisy places, so it’s very hard to use technology in a useful and productive way, said Craig Le Clair from the advising company Forrester. ⑤Still, the use of robot waiters is growing. California-based Bear Robotics introduced its Servirobots in 2021. The company expects to have 10,000 produced by the end of this year in 44 US states and overseas. In China, Shenzhen-based Pudu Robotics, which was set up in 2016, has made more than 56,000 robots. With the development in AI, it won’t be long before they become part of our everyday life. 12. What does the writer want to explain by telling the story of Li Zhai? A. It’s expensive to buy a robot waiter. B. Robot waiters help solve worker shortage. C. Robot waiters are more useful than workers. D. Finding workers in Michigan is not difficult. 13. What can we learn from the passage __________. A. It’s impossible for robots to replace human waiters B. Robot waiters can do all kinds of work in restaurants C. There have already been robots working in restaurants D. It is too expensive to use robot waiters in restaurants now 14. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of robot waiters? A. Shocked. B. Hopeful. C. Unsure. D. Worried. 15. Which of the following shows the RIGHT structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 下面材料中有四处需要添加句子，请从以下选项(A、B、C、D和E)中选出符合各段意思的句子，选项中有一项是多余选项。然后，完成问答题 (请注意词数要求)。 How to Bond (建立互信关系) with Your Pets Having a pet is a great thing for many people.
