Hand puppet shows require performers to have direct control of their hands. In 2006, Zhangzhou hand puppetry was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage. Zhuang Yanhong is an inheritor (传承人) of Zhangzhou hand puppetry. She was born into a"hand puppetry family". She studied in a professional art school and was able to perform with masters across the country at 16. Hand puppet shows became less popular with the rise of TV dramas. To save the old art and make it alive again, inheritors have been doing what they can."The puppetry has become much more realistic after flexible (灵活的) arms and legs with joint were invented. It has also borrowed from other show forms like Peking Opera, modern TV dramas and cartoons,"Zhuang said._▲_."There is no limit to hand puppetry because it often requires much imagination and creativity in nature. I'm looking forward to more of its new, creative forms." 38. What can most possibly be the writer's purpose? A. To tell the story of an inheritor. B. To introduce an art form. C. To explain differences among puppets. D. To save an endangered art form. 39. Which of the following would be the most suitable for ____▲______? A. She believes the art has a bright future. B. She realizes it's hard to improve the situation. C. She requires more people to give her a helping hand. D. She never doubts the art is worth putting all her effort into. 40. What can we inter from the article? A. There will be fewer hand puppetry performers. B. Zhuang was influenced by her friends and relatives. C. Foreigners don't love puppetry as much as Chinese do. D. Hand puppetry was less popular because of new entertainments. C Finally, Professor Challenger had his chance to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began,“Mr. Waldron is not a real scientist. He only explains our work to the general public. He is wrong when he says that certain animals have already disappeared. Nobody here believes me, but I am prophet（先知）of science. I am like Galileo and Darwin, and I…” The Professor walked forward and put up both hands. Everybody became silent. “I won't say any more. You can, however, test my ideas. Do you want to send somebody to prove that?” Then, the famous scientist Professor Summerlee stood up. “Are you talking about the discoveries that you made in the Amazon（亚马逊）two years ago?” asked Professor Summerlee. “Yes, I am,” replied Challenger. “And why didn't Wallace, Bates and other famous explorers of that area see these things?” continued Summerlee. “Pernaps, sir, you have mixed up the Thames with the Amazon. It's not strange that I saw things that they didn't see.” “Yes, of course,” continued Summerlee.“I understand the difference. We can't test or prove your discoveries.” “Will you go on a journey to test my discoveries?” “Yes, I will,” answered Summerlee, and the crowd cheered. “Then,” said Professor Challenger,“You will have all the information you need to go there. But you can't go alone. Who will go with Professor Summerlee to the Amazon?” —Adapted from The Lost World 41. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 mean? A. Waldron mixed up two different places. B. Waldron compared wrong scientific results. C. Summerlee misunderstood the object of the research. D. Summerlee thought the Thames was in the Amazon. 42. What would happen in the following story? A. Waldron would end his career. B. Waldron would correct his mistake. C. Summerlee would support Challenger's idea. D. Summerlee would lead a team to the Amazon. 43. Which is the best title of the story above? A. A Scientific Discussion B. The Missing Animals C. Challenger's Discovery D. The Amazon Journey D We are getting used to having robots in our homes, stores, and factories. What about on stage? In fact, the word robot comes from a 1920 science-fiction play. In Rossum's Universal Robots, people performed as the machine-like creatures. Recently, some directors and artists have invited actual robots to share the stage in dances and other performances. Catie Cuan is one of them.“Robots are for everyone,” she says. Cuan began her career as a dancer and choreographer—a person who maps out the movements of dancers. But she fell in love with robots and has pioneered a new field called robot choreography（编舞）. Today, she's studying robotics at Stanford University in Northern California. You might imagine robots would dance like machines. After all, that's how the popular dance“the robot” looks. Most robots today, however, can move in a more life-like manner. It takes time and effort to program robots to do the movements Cuan wants. But the results, she says.“will surprise you.” At first, Cuan knew little about robot choreography. In 2022, she wrote, choreographed and performed the stage show In Her Prime. She danced with two other women and two Boston Dynamics spot robots. In the dance, the robots stayed behind a screen so the audience(观众) only saw their shadows. Cuan says that cave paintings inspired her. In the media, Cuan says,“Robots are often described negatively(负面地).” They may seem alien, cold, or scary. Seeing a robot dance may make the technology seem fun, attractive, or friendly instead. Sometimes after her performances, audience tell her that the dance changes the way they think about robots. Robots may seem like they' re all about maths and engineering. But, as Cuan suggests, they belong in art, too.“We as humans have been making art a lot longer than we' ve been doing maths,” she says. She points out that we use art and dance to make sense of the world. Cuan thinks that performances like hers will help people feel more at home with robots.“We need to dance with robots to make sense of them,” she says. 44. Why did Catie Cuan use a screen in her dance in Her Prime with robots? A. To show the robots' shadows. B. To display cave paintings. C. To hide the robots' movements. D. To catch the attention of the audience. 45. Which one has the closest meaning to“inspired her”? A. offered her chances B. brought her success C. sent her messages D. gave her ideas 46. The following sentences would best be placed at the beginning of ____________. This is only one of many dances Cuan has performed with robots. Her goal is to show people new ways to relate to these machines. A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 6 47. What can we learn from the article? A. The word robot comes from In Her Prime. B. Dancing with robots can help us understand them better. C. The audience will develop an interest in robotics engineering. D. Some students in Stanford University enjoy studying robotics. 第Ⅱ卷(主观题共40分) 五、词汇运用(本大题共16小题；每小题1分，共16分) (A)根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 1.

A plane that goes twice the speed of sound could take you from the East Coast to the West Coast in just two hours. As a supersonic plane approaches（靠近）, you can't hear its noise, because the noise travels more slowly than the plane. Instead, the sound waves pile up behind the plane and make what are called shock waves（冲击波）. And that's a problem. When the plane flies by, these waves create a loud noise the ground a sonic boom（音爆）. So supersonic planes aren't normally allowed to fly over land, which means you currently can't cross the country in just two hours. But NASA is helping design supersonic planes that avoid sonic booms. As part of the project, NASA used a special camera to take this picture of two planes flying faster than sound. It shows how shock waves from the planes interact. Then NASA added color to the picture to make the shock waves easier to see. Studying the way shock waves work can help scientists figure out how to design quieter planes. So maybe, someday, you will cross the country in just two hours without bothering anyone on the ground. 1. Which goes faster, the sound or supersonic planes? ______________________________________________________________________________________. 2. Where are the sound waves as a supersonic plane flies by? ______________________________________________________________________________________. 3. What will the shock waves from the planes lead to? ______________________________________________________________________________________. 4. Why does NASA add color to the picture? ______________________________________________________________________________________. 5. What does the writer think of the future development of the planes? ______________________________________________________________________________________. 参考答案 一、听力（略) 2． 单项选择 1-5DCABB 6-10DACBC 11-14BBDA 3． 完型填空 1-5CDBCD 6-10DCBAA 4． 阅读理解 1-3CDA 4-6BAD 6-9CDA 10-14ADCB 5． 词汇运用 1. bells 2.instruments 3.cowboys 4.praised 6. concerts 6.marks 7.control 8.value (B) 1. dividing 2.highly 3.lasting 4.successfully 5. musicians 6.central 7.winners’ 8.known 6． 动词填空 1. have ridden 2.happens 3.thinking 4.is given 6. would accept 6.will be cut 7.to come 8.was raining 9.is having 10.meant 7． 完成句子 1. is well worth speakling highly of 2.
