Amanda Gorman, a 22-year-old poet, recited her poem The Hill We Climb at the recent. Presidential Inauguration (就职) Ceremony. Her words and performance were wonderful and were admired across the world. But what is even more wonderful is the story of how Amanda arrived at this moment and the lessons she offers other kids around the world.
Amanda was raised by a single mother, Joan Wicks, in Los Angeles. There was very limited television watching in their house. Encouraged by her mother, who was a teacher, Amanda fell in love with reading and writing. She gained confidence in these areas. Her passion for poetry started when she was about 8 years old.
But despite her interests and talents, she had some obstacles. Amanda has a listening processing disorder and is very sensitive to sound. She also had a speech disorder during childhood. This caused her to participate in speech treatment which helped her to turn her obstacles into gifts and strengths. As she told The Harvard Gazette in 2018, “I always saw it as a strength because since I was experiencing these obstacles in terms of my listening and speech skills, I became really good at reading and writing.”
Amanda started to dream of becoming president when she was in 6th grade. As Amanda became more confident, she became more driven to transform the world for good. She went on to earn a degree at Harvard University. And then, Amanda became the world’s first Youth Poet’ Laureate (获奖者) in history!
While Amanda looked calm cool, and collected at the inauguration, she admits she is always nervous, like many of us, about public speaking. To ease this, she developed a spell that she recites to give herself confidence in moments of doubt, “I am the daughter of black writers. We are descendants of freedom fighters who broke through chains and changed the world.”
4 What do we know about Amanda Gorman?
A. She took to reading and writing thanks to her teacher.
B. She published her first poem at the age of 8.
C. She recited a poem at a presidential inauguration.
D. She became the first Youth Poet Laureate at high school.

A. Barriers. B. Changes. C. Strengths. D. Disabilities.
6. How did Amanda overcome her nervousness about public speech?
A. By seeking support from some black writers.
B. By reciting special sentences to herself.
C. By practicing the speech context repeatedly.
D. By talking to freedom fighters before the speech.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To share a funny story. B. To educate disabled kids.
C. To record a wonderful moment. D. To encourage more children.
C
Felix Ruppert and Alexander Badri-Sprowitz at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, designed a half-metre-high robot called Morti and gave it the ability to teach itself how to walk, rather than to perform a pre-programmed step. The four-legged robot took only an hour to learn how to walk steadily, roughly the same amount of time as newborn horses need. And it’s the first time that a machine learning technique has been so successfully applied to four-legged robots.
Morti is controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm (算法) that doesn’t have much information about the robot’s legs, such as the exact shape of each element. “The AI, working like the central nervous system, gives walking instructions for Morti to follow. It then adjusts (调整) them based on readings from foot sensors that signal when the robot falls and loses contact with the ground. Initially (最初), Morti falls down, but after about an hour the AI finds the best way to make it walk,” said Ruppert.
Because the AI learns rather than computing details of each leg’s movement in advance, which can use a lot of energy, Morti walks using 42 percent less energy than when it first starts at the end of an hour-long learning process. Morti’s process copies the way baby animals learn to move, as they also find the most efficient way to use their muscles by trying and initially tripping.
Dhireesha Kudithipudi at The University of Texas at San Antonio said that AI robots can often learn a specific task very well but can’t readjust when the environment changes and that Morti’s design, which relies on continually adjusting the robot’s movements, may perform better in that regard. Ruppert said he and the team are working on adding more sensors and range of motion to Morti to make it a more animal-like robot.
8. What is special about Morti?
A. It is pre-programmed to walk. B. It can help teach the newborns.
C. It is the first four-legged robot. D. It can learn to walk by itself.
9. Which part of Morti is stressed in paragraph 2?
A. Its body structure. B. Its design concept.
C. Its learning process. D. Its working conditions.
10. How does the AI’s learning ability benefit Morti?
A. By predicting Morti’s leg movements. B. By training Morti’s muscles to the best.
C. By lowering Morti’s energy consumption. D. By strengthening Morti’s bond with others.
11 What is Dhireesha Kudithipudi’s attitude toward Morti?
A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
D
Have you heard of Hispanic Heritage Month (拉美裔文化月)? We break down this monthlong celebration from September 15 to October 15 that recognizes the different Hispanic community in the United States and the varied and meaningful contributions they bring to our country and culture.
According to the Hispanic Heritage Month (拉美裔文化月) official website, it is observed “by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America”. For generations, Hispanics have contributed to the food, music, business, science, and culture that we know as American, and the 30 days that make up Hispanic Heritage Month each fall is just one opportunity to show these achievements.
Hispanics are the country’s second-largest racial group, behind white non-Hispanics according to the latest 2020 census (普查). Hispanics now account for 18.7 percent of the U.S. population, up 2.4 percent in the previous decade with 62.1 million Hispanics living across America with big concentrations in New York, California, Texas and Florida.
Hispanic Heritage Month first started as a week when it was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. According to Congressional history, the week was created to bring attention and awareness to “Hispanic-American contributions to the United States”, along with networking opportunities for “grassroots and civil rights activists inside and outside the Hispanic-American community”.
Almost 20 years later, Representative Esteban Torres of California, a proud Mexican-American, gave a bill to expand it into Hispanic Heritage Month saying supporters of the bill “want the American people to learn of our heritage. We want the public to know that we share a legacy (遗产) with the rest of the country, a legacy that includes artists, writers, Olympic champions, and leaders in business, government, cinema, and science”. That bill didn’t pass, but Senator Paul Simon of Illinois gave a similar bill that President Ronald Reagan signed into law after that in 1988 creating now what Hispanic Heritage Month is.
12. What is the aim of Hispanic Heritage Month?
A. To pass the values of Hispanics.
B. To celebrate the harvest of each fall.
C. To display the achievements made by Hispanics.
D. To honor the first generation of Hispanics in America.
13. Which racial group is the largest in America?
A. People from Spain. B. White non-Hispanics.
C. Non-white people. D. People from the Caribbean.
14. When did Representative Esteban Torres introduce his bill?
A. In 2020. B. In 1968. C. In 1987. D. In 1988.
15. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. What is Hispanic Heritage Month in America?
B. Where do Hispanics Come from?
C. Why do People Create Hispanic Heritage Month?
D. How do People Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month?

Felix Ruppert and Alexander Badri-Sprowitz at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, designed a half-metre-high robot called Morti and gave it the ability to teach itself how to walk, rather than to perform a pre-programmed step. The four-legged robot took only an hour to learn how to walk steadily, roughly the same amount of time as newborn horses need. And it’s the first time that a machine learning technique has been so successfully applied to four-legged robots.
Morti is controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm (算法) that doesn’t have much information about the robot’s legs, such as the exact shape of each element. “The AI, working like the central nervous system, gives walking instructions for Morti to follow. It then adjusts (调整) them based on readings from foot sensors that signal when the robot falls and loses contact with the ground. Initially (最初), Morti falls down, but after about an hour the AI finds the best way to make it walk,” said Ruppert.
Because the AI learns rather than computing details of each leg’s movement in advance, which can use a lot of energy, Morti walks using 42 percent less energy than when it first starts at the end of an hour-long learning process. Morti’s process copies the way baby animals learn to move, as they also find the most efficient way to use their muscles by trying and initially tripping.
Dhireesha Kudithipudi at The University of Texas at San Antonio said that AI robots can often learn a specific task very well but can’t readjust when the environment changes and that Morti’s design, which relies on continually adjusting the robot’s movements, may perform better in that regard. Ruppert said he and the team are working on adding more sensors and range of motion to Morti to make it a more animal-like robot.
8. What is special about Morti?
A. It is pre-programmed to walk. B. It can help teach the newborns.
C. It is the first four-legged robot. D. It can learn to walk by itself.
9. Which part of Morti is stressed in paragraph 2?
A. Its body structure. B. Its design concept.
C. Its learning process. D. Its working conditions.
10. How does the AI’s learning ability benefit Morti?
A. By predicting Morti’s leg movements. B. By training Morti’s muscles to the best.
C. By lowering Morti’s energy consumption. D. By strengthening Morti’s bond with others.
11. What is Dhireesha Kudithipudi’s attitude toward Morti?
A. Doubtful. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款可以像刚出生的马一样只用一小时就学会走路的四条腿的机器人。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Felix Ruppert and Alexander Badri-Sprowitz at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, designed a half-metre-high robot called Morti and gave it the ability to teach itself how to walk, rather than to perform a pre-programmed step.(德国斯图加特马克斯·普朗克智能系统研究所的菲利克斯·鲁珀特和亚历山大·巴德里-斯普罗维茨设计了一个半米高的机器人Morti,并赋予了它自学走路的能力,而不是执行预先编程的步骤)”可知,Morti可以自己学习走路。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Morti is controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm (算法) that doesn’t have much information about the robot’s legs, such as the exact shape of each element. “The AI, working like the central nervous system, gives walking instructions for Morti to follow. It then adjusts (调整) them based on readings from foot sensors that signal when the robot falls and loses contact with the ground. Initially (最初), Morti falls down, but after about an hour the AI finds the best way to make it walk,” said Ruppert.( Morti由人工智能算法控制,该算法没有关于机器人腿的太多信息,比如每个元素的确切形状。“人工智能就像中枢神经系统一样,向Morti发出行走指令。然后,它会根据足部传感器的读数来调整它们,当机器人跌倒并与地面失去联系时,足部传感器会发出信号。一开始,Morti摔倒了,但大约一个小时后,人工智能找到了让它走路的最佳方法。”)”可知,本段主要强调的是Morti的学习过程。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Because the AI learns rather than computing details of each leg’s movement in advance, which can use a lot of energy, Morti walks using 42 percent less energy than when it first starts at the end of an hour-long learning process.(由于人工智能学习而不是提前计算每条腿的运动细节,这可能会消耗大量的能量,在一个小时的学习过程结束后,Morti走路消耗的能量比第一次开始时减少了42%)”可知,人工智能的学习能力减少了Morti的能量消耗。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dhireesha Kudithipudi at The University of Texas at San Antonio said that AI robots can often learn a specific task very well but can’t readjust when the environment changes and that Morti’s design, which relies on continually adjusting the robot’s movements, may perform better in that regard.(德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校的Dhireesha Kudithipudi表示,人工智能机器人通常可以很好地学习特定任务,但不能在环境变化时重新调整,而Morti的设计依赖于不断调整机器人的动作,在这方面可能表现得更好)”可知,Dhireesha Kudithipudi对Morti应是持肯定的态度的。故选D。
D
Have you heard of Hispanic Heritage Month (拉美裔文化月)? We break down this monthlong celebration from September 15 to October 15 that recognizes the different Hispanic community in the United States and the varied and meaningful contributions they bring to our country and culture.
According to the Hispanic Heritage Month (拉美裔文化月) official website, it is observed “by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America”. For generations, Hispanics have contributed to the food, music, business, science, and culture that we know as American, and the 30 days that make up Hispanic Heritage Month each fall is just one opportunity to show these achievements.
Hispanics are the country’s second-largest racial group, behind white non-Hispanics according to the latest 2020 census (普查). Hispanics now account for 18.7 percent of the U.S. population, up 2.4 percent in the previous decade with 62.1 million Hispanics living across America with big concentrations in New York, California, Texas and Florida.
Hispanic Heritage Month first started as a week when it was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. According to Congressional history, the week was created to bring attention and awareness to “Hispanic-American contributions to the United States”, along with networking opportunities for “grassroots and civil rights activists inside and outside the Hispanic-American community”.
Almost 20 years later, Representative Esteban Torres of California, a proud Mexican-American, gave a bill to expand it into Hispanic Heritage Month saying supporters of the bill “want the American people to learn of our heritage. We want the public to know that we share a legacy (遗产) with the rest of the country, a legacy that includes artists, writers, Olympic champions, and leaders in business, government, cinema, and science”. That bill didn’t pass, but Senator Paul Simon of Illinois gave a similar bill that President Ronald Reagan signed into law after that in 1988 creating now what Hispanic Heritage Month is.
12. What is the aim of Hispanic Heritage Month?
A. To pass the values of Hispanics.
B. To celebrate the harvest of each fall.
C. To display the achievements made by Hispanics.
D. To honor the first generation of Hispanics in America.
13. Which racial group is the largest in America?
A. People from Spain. B. White non-Hispanics.
C. Non-white people. D. People from the Caribbean.
14. When did Representative Esteban Torres introduce his bill?
A. In 2020. B. In 1968. C. In 1987. D. In 1988.
15. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. What is Hispanic Heritage Month in America?
B. Where do Hispanics Come from?
C. Why do People Create Hispanic Heritage Month?
D. How do People Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month?
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国拉美裔文化月的概况及其起源。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“For generations, Hispanics have contributed to the food, music, business, science, and culture that we know as American, and the 30 days that make up Hispanic Heritage Month each fall is just one opportunity to show these achievements.(几代人以来,拉美裔为我们美国人所熟知的美食、音乐、商业、科学和文化做出了贡献,每年秋天的30天拉美裔传统月只是展示这些成就的一个机会)”可知,西班牙传统月的目的是展示拉美裔所取得的成就。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Hispanics are the country’s second-largest racial group, behind white non-Hispanics according to the latest 2020 census (普查).(根据最新的2020年人口普查,拉美裔是美国第二大族群,其人数仅次于非拉美裔白人)”可推知,非拉美裔白人是美国的第一大族群。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Hispanic Heritage Month first started as a week when it was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.(西班牙传统月最初是由林登·约翰逊总统于1968年签署成为法律的一个星期)”及最后一段第一句“Almost 20 years later, Representative Esteban Torres of California, a proud Mexican-American, gave a bill to expand it into Hispanic Heritage Month saying supporters of the bill “want the American people to learn of our heritage.(将近20年后,自豪的墨西哥裔美国人、加利福尼亚州众议员埃斯特班·托雷斯(Esteban Torres)提出了一项法案,将其扩大为西班牙裔传统月。他说,该法案的支持者“希望美国人民了解我们的传统。”)”可推知,Esteban Torres应是在1988年提出的该法案。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了美国拉美裔文化月的概况及其起源。A项“什么是拉美裔文化月?”能概括文章大意,适合作本文的标题。故选A。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Boys and girls,
As an English learner myself, I believe that English is not only a language, but also a tool for communication and a key to global opportunities.
However, learning English can be a challenging task. I remember struggling with grammar rules, unfamiliar vocabulary, and pronunciation. At times, I felt discouraged and unmotivated to continue. But, I did not give up. Instead, I sought out different methods to improve my skills and overcome these obstacles.
One of the creative ways I find effective is to watch English movies and TV shows. This not only helps me learn new vocabulary and idioms, but also practice my listening and comprehension skills.
By finding creative ways to learn and consistently practicing, we can overcome the difficulties and unlock the opportunities that this language has to offer.
Thank you for listening.
