Emily, an 87-year-old woman with silver hair who loved knitting (编织), and Jake, a 27-year-old musician, discovered something they both enjoyed in the most impossible place. Jake worked as a volunteer at the retirement home twice a week. One sunny afternoon, Emily sat in her favourite place in the yard, her knitting needles clicking softly. Nearby, Jake sat on a chair, playing his guitar, deep in thought. The lovely music from his guitar passed softly through the air. Interested in the music Emily walked over to him. Her smile was as warm as the sun. “You play beautifully, dear,” she said. Jake looked up, surprised by her kind words, and offered a shy smile in return. From that day on, their friendship grew quickly. Emily told stories from her younger days, talking about how popular swing dancing was. Jake, in turn, introduced her to the world of modern music. He played songs that made her feel joyful and want to dance. They spent hours together, teaching and learning from each other. Emily helped Jake work through the troubles of life and love, while he lighted her love for music and adventure. They even started a small knitting and guitar club at the retirement home, bringing joy to the other people there. As the seasons changed, so did their lives. Emily’s knitting needles created a colourful scarf for Jake, while Jake wrote a heartfelt song to celebrate their friendship. Their friendship went across age, showing that friendship can last forever. Their heartwarming story became a symbol of hope for everyone who heard it—a sign that the most meaningful connections can be found in the most unexpected places. 21. What brought Emily and Jake together first? A. A music class. B. A birthday party. C. Jake’s guitar playing. D. Emily’s knitting club. 22. What did Jake do for Emily? A. He taught her to dance. B. He started a music club. C. He wrote a song for her. D. He created a scarf for her. 23. What is the main message of the story? A. Hobbies make life enjoyable. B. Real friendship knows no age. C. Music is a language that bridges ages. D. Life lessons always pass from the old to the young. B Housework is often viewed as a dull and endless chore, keeping us from more enjoyable activities. However, this seemingly simple set of tasks hides many benefits that can greatly contribute to our overall well-being. Physically, housework offers more than just light exercise. Take wringing a mop as an example. This simple act works the forearm muscles (肌肉) and increases holding strength, which is important as we age. According to The Journal of Physical Therapy Science, such muscle exercise, often performed unconsciously (无意识地) during housework, can greatly improve forearm muscle endurance (耐力). Studies suggest that regular middle-level-effort housework can be as effective as wringing a mop light weight training,particularly in building muscles in the back and shoulders. The benefits of housework to mental health are also noteworthy. Tidying a messy room can bring us a clear-headed feeling. Creating order from mess helps us feel in control. Research in The Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found that people who spent just 15 minutes organizing their workspace had lower stress levels than those who remained in a messy place. Cooking also offers mental rewards. Focusing on chopping vegetablesmeasuring ingredients, and following a recipe is a form of mindfulness. Moreover, the joy of preparing and sharing a meal brings us a sense of achievement. Housework also helps with social connections and brain function.When families share chores, they communicate, cooperate, and support each other, strengthening relationships. Children learn responsibility and teamwork from an early age. Furthermore, doing housework can improve executive functions, like deciding which room to clean first or how to cook a meal step by step. These can help train the brain to stay active and organized.Research shows that doing housework at least three times a week lowers the risk of older adults’ brain problems. In short, housework is far more than a boring duty. It improves physical fitness, mental health, social connections, and brain function. By recognizing these benefits, we can view housework not as a burden (负担) but as a valuable effort for a better life. 24. According to the passage,what is a key benefit of wringing a mop? A. It builds muscle strength of the legs. B. It offers a conscious muscle exercise. C. It improves forearm muscle endurance. D. It helps to lose weight more quickly. 25. What does the writer probably agree with? A. Doing housework instead of fun things is a huge burden. B. Chopping vegetables helps reduce stress better than cleaning. C. Seeing housework as a simple duty harms family relationships. D. Tidying workspace improves sense of control and lowers stress. 26. The underlined expression “executive functions” in Paragraph 4 probably means“________.” A. the ability to make decisions and plans B. the talent to set goals to control emotions C. the ability to be active and free from stress D. the talent to lower the risk of brain problems 27. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain important research findings on housework. B. To show different opinions on doing housework tasks. C. To encourage readers to see chores in a reasonable way. D. To stress mental benefits gained from doing chores. C Imagine a robot. What comes to your mind first? A machine stronger than the human body? However, this same quality is now causing a big problem—it’s creating tons of long-lasting e-waste that could flood our planet. What if, instead, the machines we use were designed to break down and disappear—just as living things do? For a study published in Science Advances, researchers made a robotic arm and a controller using materials from animals and plants. These materials are strong enough to work but can easily break down in a natural environment. After testing, both parts were gone in soil within weeks. Biodegradable (可生物降解) robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics, which takes ideas from nature. “This field started in materials science and chemistry rather than traditional robots that come from mechanical (机械的) engineering.” says Florian Hartmann, a materials scientist from Germany. However, many early soft robotics models still used man-made materials that cause pollution. Wei, a scientist who studies natural materials in Hangzhou, worked together with his friend Zhang, a robotics engineer in Shanghai, to build robots for the new study. They started with cellulose (纤维素) taken from cotton. Then, they added glycerol (甘油) to make a new material that is soft and easy to change shapes. After that they allowed it to dry so it became strong, “Cellulose is cheap and easy to work with,” says Wei. They found that the controller and the robotic arm stood up to both heavy use and a week of inactivity. Finally, they buried (埋) them both in a hole. Within eight weeks these two parts were almost completely gone. Wei and Zhang expect that robots like these can be used to deal with dangerous waste and then disappear naturally. They also hope that such robots can aid doctors in operations and then safely break down inside the body. However, it’s important to note that the technology is still in very early stages. “If we truly want to have a biodegradable robot,” Hartmann says, “we also need to make sure its electronics and power parts are biodegradable.” 28 What is special about the robotic arm and the controller in Paragraph 2? A. They are green. B. They are hard. C. They are intelligent. D. They are affordable. 29. What is mentioned in Paragraph 5 about soft robots? A. Their operation. B. Their applications. C. Their challenges. D. Their performance. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Soft robots are widely used to clean up e-waste. B. Soft robots have to rest for a week after heavy use. C. The designing of soft robots borrows ideas from nature. D. Mechanical engineering offers new ways to run soft robots. 四、阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。（31-33题每题2分，34题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 We do everything in a hurry—finishing our meals, completing our tasks, running to the gyms... We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, checking off tasks on our to-do lists. Living in a rush feels like we are always pressed for time. Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well. For a long time, we believe that speed means being productive and successful, and therefore, we keep rushing here and there in doing everything. Yet from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Program, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量) . Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs, rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives. Today, more people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement, thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly. 31. Why do people choose fast living? _____________________________ 32. What is the answer to our predicament, according to the Slow Movement? _____________________________ 33. What is the main idea of the Slow Movement? _____________________________ 34. Which lifestyle do you prefer, fast living or slow living? Why? (Please give two reasons.) _____________________________ 附加题：（每空1分，共10分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Dear Xiao Li, My time here in China is going well.

A machine stronger than the human body? However, this same quality is now causing a big problem—it’s creating tons of long-lasting e-waste that could flood our planet. What if, instead, the machines we use were designed to break down and disappear—just as living things do? For a study published in Science Advances, researchers made a robotic arm and a controller using materials from animals and plants. These materials are strong enough to work but can easily break down in a natural environment. After testing, both parts were gone in soil within weeks. Biodegradable (可生物降解的) robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics, which takes ideas from nature. “This field started in materials science and chemistry rather than traditional robots that come from mechanical (机械的) engineering.” says Florian Hartmann, a materials scientist from Germany. However, many early soft robotics models still used man-made materials that cause pollution. Wei, a scientist who studies natural materials in Hangzhou, worked together with his friend Zhang, a robotics engineer in Shanghai, to build robots for the new study. They started with cellulose (纤维素) taken from cotton. Then, they added glycerol (甘油) to make a new material that is soft and easy to change shapes. After that they allowed it to dry so it became strong, “Cellulose is cheap and easy to work with,” says Wei. They found that the controller and the robotic arm stood up to both heavy use and a week of inactivity. Finally, they buried (埋) them both in a hole. Within eight weeks these two parts were almost completely gone. Wei and Zhang expect that robots like these can be used to deal with dangerous waste and then disappear naturally. They also hope that such robots can aid doctors in operations and then safely break down inside the body. However, it’s important to note that the technology is still in very early stages. “If we truly want to have a biodegradable robot,” Hartmann says, “we also need to make sure its electronics and power parts are biodegradable.” 28. What is special about the robotic arm and the controller in Paragraph 2? A. They are green. B. They are hard. C. They are intelligent. D. They are affordable. 29. What is mentioned in Paragraph 5 about soft robots? A. Their operation. B. Their applications. C. Their challenges. D. Their performance. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Soft robots are widely used to clean up e-waste. B. Soft robots have to rest for a week after heavy use. C. The designing of soft robots borrows ideas from nature. D. Mechanical engineering offers new ways to run soft robots. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了可生物降解机器人的研究进展及其潜在应用，同时指出该技术仍处于早期阶段。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“...researchers made a robotic arm and a controller using materials from animals and plants. These materials are strong enough to work but can easily break down in a natural environment. After testing, both parts were gone in soil within weeks.”可知，研究人员用动植物材料制作了机械臂和控制器，这些材料足够坚固，但可以在自然环境中轻松分解。由此可推知这些机械臂和控制器的特点是环保。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Wei and Zhang expect that robots like these can be used to deal with dangerous waste and then disappear naturally. They also hope that such robots can aid doctors in operations and then safely break down inside the body.”可知，段主要讨论软体机器人的应用。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Biodegradable (可生物降解的) robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics, which takes ideas from nature.”可知，可生物降解机器人通常属于软体机器人范畴，其灵感来自自然。故选C。 四、阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。（31-33题每题2分，34题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 We do everything in a hurry—finishing our meals, completing our tasks, running to the gyms... We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, checking off tasks on our to-do lists. Living in a rush feels like we are always pressed for time. Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well. For a long time, we believe that speed means being productive and successful, and therefore, we keep rushing here and there in doing everything. Yet from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Program, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量) . Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs, rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives. Today, more people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement, thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly. 31. Why do people choose fast living? _____________________________ 32. What is the answer to our predicament, according to the Slow Movement? _____________________________ 33. What is the main idea of the Slow Movement? _____________________________ 34. Which lifestyle do you prefer, fast living or slow living? Why? (Please give two reasons.) _____________________________ 【答案】31. Because they think they have no control of time. 32. The answer is to learn how to live slower. 33. The main idea is to value quality over quantity. 34. I prefer slow living. First, it can free us from endless rush and help us enjoy moments of rest. Second, it helps us reduce stress, making us feel more relaxed and at peace. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了现代人快节奏生活的弊端，并介绍了“慢生活运动”的理念及其意义。 【31题详解】 根据第一段“We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time.”可知，人们选择快生活是因为他们认为自己无法掌控时间。故填Because they think they have no control of time. 【32题详解】 根据第三段“The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower.”可知，慢生活运动认为，解决困境的方法不是更快地生活，而是学会如何慢下来。故填The answer is to learn how to live slower. 【33题详解】 根据第五段“The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity.”可知，慢生活运动的主旨是重视质量而非数量。故填The main idea is to value quality over quantity. 【34题详解】 本题是一道开放性试题，结合个人观点选择快节奏生活或者慢节奏生活，并给出两个原因。参考答案为：I prefer slow living. First, it can free us from endless rush and help us enjoy moments of rest. Second, it helps us reduce stress, making us feel more relaxed and at peace. 附加题：（每空1分，共10分） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Dear Xiao Li, My time here in China is going well.
