Beijing Hosts the World's First-ever Humanoid(像人的)Robot Half Marathon Running is for everyone—and everything,as it now happens.That's(1) China has just staged a half marathon where humans weren't the only participants.In addition to about 12,000 living, breathing runners,this race also welcomed 21 humanoid robots to its start line.: This half marathon,which took place in Beijing on Saturday,(2) (believe)to be the first running event of its kind and a landmark moment for the Chinese robotics industry.(3) the humans and robots ran along separate tracks,likely for safety reasons which you'll appreciate better in a moment, it was the first time that these two types of participants(4) (take)part in the same race.And it proved that bipedal( 两 腿 行 走 的 )robots can run a significant distance in real-world conditions. However,the robots' performances on race day were chaotic.One robot fell at the starting line and stayed down for several minutes.(5) ran into a.fence after just a few meters.Only six of the 21 competing robots,all of (6) had to be bipedal rather than on wheels,successfully completed the course.The best ofthe bunch was a humanoid called Tiangong Ultra,(7) develop)by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center,which won the robot race in 2 hours and 40 minutes.Even better, Tiangong Ultra crossed the finish line(8) the human cut-off time of three hours and 10 minutes. It made it the only robot(9) (qualify)for a human participation award.It was the tallest robot in the field,too,(10) (tower)over many human adults at nearly six feet (about 1.8 meters).By contrast,the shortest robot participant—which wore a blue and white tracksuit and waved at people every few seconds—was just 2.5 feet(about 0.76meters)tall.

A.aim G.discourage B.apparent H.manual C.boosting f.misperception D campaign J.moving E controversial K,urging decrease The Link Between Movement and Health How people exercise changes with each new trend,but the idea that physical activity is key to good health is more than a passing fashion.What won't change is that staying active benefits health in various ways —including lowering the risk for heart attacks,and 11 mental health. Loss of activity in our lives It wasn't always so difficult to keep 12 .People did it because they had to. As cars multiplied and electric appliances reduced the amount of 13 labor people had to do, "we got to a point where we weren't so physically active,"said Dr.Bethany Barone Gibbs,a professor at West Virginia University in Morgantown."It then became 14 - that maybe people who were more active were healthier.” Recommended exercise Studies showed even moderate-intensity activities could make a difference,leading to a 1995 U.S. surgeon general's report 1 5 people to engage in 30 to 45 minutes of moderate activity each day, and for those who were already doing so,to push themselves harder. In 2007,the American College of Sports Medicine,along with the American Medical Association and the U.S.surgeon general,launched a(n) 1 6 ,calling for people to engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. Current federal guidelines now reflect additional evidence suggesting people. 17 for up to 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise,or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise. All movement counts Even small amounts of activity throughout the day can make a difference.More evidence suggests it's not just how much people move but how much they sit that matters.The guidelines now 18 long periods of sitting behavior,finding a benefit with even five minutes of movement at least once an hour. “Get off the couch”and move “There is a(n) 19 that you need to be a sportsperson to get health benefits from exercise,"said Dr.Damon Swift,an exercise physiologist(生理学家)at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. "But really the benefits increase much earlier than that.Once you start getting off the couch,there is a large 20 in risk as you go from being inactive to somewhat active.” II.Reading Comprehension Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The world's top insect experts say our planet's important insect population is going through a"death by a thousand cuts."A new group of studies suggests Earth is losing around 1 to 2 percent of its insects each year.The losses are 21 climate change,pollution,agriculture,land use changes and chemicals. David Wagner of the University of Connecticut is the lead writer of the 12 studies,which recently appeared in Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences. The problem is a complex issue and even scientists say they do not fully understand it.The 22 of the issue makes it hard to get the public interested in possible solutions.Wagner said scientists need to find out if the levels of insect 23 are bigger in comparison to other species May Berenbaum of the University of Illinois,who helpea lead the research 24 the insect losses to climate change 30 years ago.She said back then,the methods used to measure the degree and rate of climate change effects were 25 .Berenbaum says another issue is that many people simply 26 insects.She added that this is true even though the small creatures do a lot of good. Wagner said two famous insects,honeybees and Monarch butterflies,are good examples of the current 27 insects face.Honeybees have been 28 because of disease,chemicals and lack of food.Drier weather in the U.S.West,driven by climate change,means less milkweed for butterflies to 29 ,Wagner said.And changes in American agriculture 30 weeds and flowers they need for nectar (花蜜). The recent scientific papers do not provide new data,so they show a big but 31 picture of a problem that is starting to get more attention.Scientists have 32 1 million insect species,while up to 4 million more are likely to be discovered,Berenbaum said. Doug Tallamy of the University of Delaware was not part of the studies,but he said the research demonstrates how the world has"spent the last 30 years spending billions of dollars finding new ways to kill insects and 33 pennies(a small amount of money)working to preserve them."In an email to the Associated Press,Tallamy said the good news was that people themselves can do a lot to 34 insect losses."This is a global problem with a grassroots. 35 ,"he wrote. 21.A.replaced with B.mistaken for C.prohibited from D.blamed on 22.A.objective B.significance C.complexity D.sensitivity 23.A.loss B.species C.evolution D.distinction 24.A.owed B.compared C.contributed D.recommended 25.A.efficient B.difficult C.purposeful D.convincing 26.A.study B.pity C.respect D.hate 27.A.alternatives B.dimensions C.problems D.habitats 28.A.doubling B.escaping C.intervening D.disappearing 29.A.eat B.anchor C.conserve D.value 30.A.cultivate B.remove C.beautify D.visualize 81.A.unavoidable B.unappealing C.inappropriate D.incomplete 32.A.identified B threatened C.anticipated D.neglected 33.A.private 豫 additional C.mere D.primitive 34.A.stop B.suffer C.generate D.explain 35.A.contradiction B.solution C.expectation D.promise Section B Directions: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) She sings,dances and interacts with her sea of fans as her electric blue hair glows(发光)under the stage lights.But there's something different about this pop star—she doesn't physically exist.The digital superstar dancing on stage is Hatsune Miku,a virtual celebrity,and she's part of a growing trend that goes beyond the boundary between the physical and digital worlds. Virtual celebrities,also known as virtual influencers, are digital characters that are created using a mixture of technologies including computer-generated images(CGI)and artificial intelligence(Al).They are designed to look and behave like real people and are able to sing,dance,model clothing,promote products,engage with fans on social media and even advocate for causes.While some people embrace this new trend,others reject it for fear that interactions with digital personalities might lack credibility. What makes Hatsune Miku special is that she is a collaboration between human creativity and technology and“sings”over 100,000 songs created by individual fans.Her voice is a product of a complex voice synthesizer(合成器),and her performances are entirely digital.She has even performed with major artists.Miku's live concerts,where LED screens are used to bring her to "life,"have sold out in cities around the world. One of the world's most beloved virtual influencers, Lu came from humble beginnings.Lu,a digital being,started as a virtual assistant for online shoppers.However,her popularity increased,and she quickly became the face of the brand.Lu has also worked with top brands and starred in music videos with famous artists.She is a great example of how a digital celebrity can bridge the gap between enter tainment,social issues and marketing.And with her support of women's rights.Lu continues to break new ground for virtual influencers. Despite their success,virtual influencers aren't without controversy,with many expressing discomfort with the idea of"fake humans"interacting with the world as if they were real.As we look ahead,it's worth asking:How will the world adjust to this new reality where digital beings exist alongside real humans?The answer,as always,lies in how we choose to use the tools we have been given. 36.The passage is mainly about A.the development and influence of virtual celebrities B.the unique performances of Hatsune Miku and Lu C.the technologies used to create virtual influencers D.the controversies caused by digital characters 37.Why is Hatsune Miku referred to as a special virtual celebrity? A She has a charming voice recorded from a real singer B.She is the first virtual influencer to work with famous artists C.She has a physical body that enables her to perform on stage D.She represents a combination of fan creativity and technology 38.By "humble beginnings"in Paragraph 4,the author means Lu A.had a difficult personality at first B.always aimed to become a celebrity C.started in a simple and unnoticed way D.was created by an unknown company 39.What is the author's attitude towards virtual influencers? A.Doubtful. B.Neutral. C.Strongly critical. D.Fully supportive.

One idea suggests that we become more selective about our friends because we become increasingly aware of our own mortality (生命的有限).In other words,we have future-oriented cognition(认知). However,a recent study suggests that our friendships may not actually be tied to thinking about the future. In this study,a team of researchers analyzed 78,000 hours of observations of 21 male chimpanzees (黑猩猩)made between 1995 and 2016.A unique feature of this study is the value that exists in the long- term collection of data. Like humans,as these chimpanzees grew older,they increased the number of mutual friendships and decreased the number of one-sided friendships.In these mutual friendships,aged chimpanzees were more likely to groom(理毛)each other,and they engaged in grooming for longer,which suggests these friendships were of high value to the chimpanzees. These results question some aspects of the socioemotional selectivity theory.While humans have a sense of mortality,it is widely believed that chimpanzees do not.Because we are so closely related to chimpanzees,these findings in the wild chimps might also apply to people.But if future-orientated cognition isn't the source of this shift in social behavior seen in both humans and chimpanzees,what is? Now,the researchers are using the same data set to investigate whether changes in emotional reactivity explain the recent findings from the male chimpanzees. Joan Silk,a professor not involved in the study,explained that it could be emotional reactivity,but that's just a possible explanation,distinct from a complete explanation of how something works.Does emotional reactivity also explain human shifts in friendship selection?These are questions that deserve further study. Anyway,the new study gives valuable insight into how natural selection shapes social relationship strategies as we age.and it is also stimulating because it makes one reconsider the nature of how humans think and behave.Answering questions like this is difficult because humans live such a long time,but what's important about this study is that it provides long-term data on known individuals that live a long time.By studying our evolutionary cousins,we can learn more about our own behavior. 43.What social change occurs in both humans and chimpanzees as they age? A.They avoid all forms of social grooming. B Their friendship circles expand significantly. C.They prioritize quantity over quality in friendships. D.They focus on fewer but deeper mutual relationships. 44.The chimpanzee study challenges the socioemotional selectivity theory because A.young chimpanzees exhibitcd stronger future-oriented cognition B.human friendships were proven unrelated to emotional reactivity C.chimpanzees were found to have a human-like understanding of death D.the social shift occurs in chimpanzees despite their lack of mortality awareness 45.What did Joan Silk imply about the chimpanzee study? A.Its approach is innovative. B.Its findings remain incomplete. C.Its explanation is reasonable. D.Its conclusions are unbelievable. 46.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Aging and Friendship:ANew Insight from Chimpanzees B.Future-Oriented Cognition:The Key to Friendships C.The Emotional Reactivity of Male Chimpanzees D.How Mortality Shapes Human Friendship Section C Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.So scientists made the two compete against each other. B.The groups of ants were much better at solving the puzzle than individual ants. C.It was a bit like moving an awkwardly large couch through a narrow hallway or stairwell. D.To make the experiments even more comparable,the team also took away the humans’ communication. E.Furthermore,when allowed to communicate,human groups performed about as well as the average individual in the group,so there was no advantage to teaming up. F.The ants "excel in cooperation,"they write,while humans need to be able to talk through their reasoning to avoid simply going with what they think the crowd wants. Ants Best Humans at Test of Collective Intelligence When people work together,they can achieve great things.But if they can't talk,they're not necessarily smarter than ants,at least according to a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Both longhorn crazy ants and humans can figure out how to work together to move a large and heavy object through a series of obstacles. 47 They had individuals and groups of different sizes of both species move a T-shaped object through a tricky series of openings in walls,both of which were scaled to the body size of the participants. This kind ofpuzzle is hard for ants because their pheromone-based(基于信息素的)communication doesn't account for the kind of geometry(几何)needed to get the object through the doors. 48 In some of the trials they made the humans wear sunglasses and masks and forbidding talking and gestures.So the people,like the ants,had to work together without language.They could only rely on the forces generated by their fellow participants to figure out how to move the T-shaped piece. 49 They exhibited what the researchers described as “emergent”collective memory an intelligence greater than the sum of its parts.The groups of humans,on the other hand,often didn't do better when working together,especially if they weren't allowed to talk.In fact,multiple people sometimes performed worse than individuals—and worse than the ants. The researchers assume that,in the absence of the ability to discuss and debate,individuals attempt to reach an agreement quickly rather than fully assessing the problem.This"group think,"they suggest, leads people toward fruitless “greedy”efforts where they directly pull the T-shaped object toward the gaps in the wall,rather than the less obvious,correct solution of pulling the object into the space between first. 50 II.Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. 51. The Fear of Taking Risks May Be Holding You Back Your brain will try to convince you to play it safe and tell you that you can't succeed or that you shouldn't bother trying something new.But even when these thoughts lack a rational(理性的)basis,we sometimes allow our anxiety to prevail(占上风).The problem is that we often base our decisions on emotion rather than logic.We incorrectly assume that there's a direct relation between our fear level and the risk level. However,learning to take healthy risks can improve your life.If you find yourself fearing to take healthy,calculated risks,there are two strategies that can help. To begin with,balance your emotions with logic.Too often,we think our fear is related to the level of the risk.The scarier something feels,the riskier it must be.Driving a car probably doesn't feel risky, but giving a speech might feel like a huge risk.Yet your chances of injury or death are higher when you're behind the wheel.Spend a few minutes thinking about the actual level of risk.Ask yourself,"What risk do I actually face?How can I handle it if it doesn't work out?” In addition,increase your chances of success.There are steps you can take to reduce the risk that you face.Spend time practicing a speech before you deliver it,which could increase your chances of success.Rather than spend time trying to decrease your fear,put your energy into increasing your chances of success. Facing your fears is a key component in developing the mental strength you need.It helps you learn to tolerate uncertainty and anxiety.It also provides you with a chance to sharpen your skills and learn from your mistake.With practice,you can get better at calculating risk.And as you improve,your chances of success will skyrocket.

One idea suggests that we become more selective about our friends because we become increasingly aware of our own mortality (生命的有限).In other words,we have future-oriented cognition(认知). However,a recent study suggests that our friendships may not actually be tied to thinking about the future. In this study,a team of researchers analyzed 78,000 hours of observations of 21 male chimpanzees (黑猩猩)made between 1995 and 2016.A unique feature of this study is the value that exists in the long- term collection of data. Like humans,as these chimpanzees grew older,they increased the number of mutual friendships and decreased the number of one-sided friendships.In these mutual friendships,aged chimpanzees were more likely to groom(理毛)each other,and they engaged in grooming for longer,which suggests these friendships were of high value to the chimpanzees. These results question some aspects of the socioemotional selectivity theory.While humans have a sense of mortality,it is widely believed that chimpanzees do not.Because we are so closely related to chimpanzees,these findings in the wild chimps might also apply to people.But if future-orientated cognition isn't the source of this shift in social behavior seen in both humans and chimpanzees,what is? Now,the researchers are using the same data set to investigate whether changes in emotional reactivity explain the recent findings from the male chimpanzees. Joan Silk,a professor not involved in the study,explained that it could be emotional reactivity,but that's just a possible explanation,distinct from a complete explanation of how something works.Does emotional reactivity also explain human shifts in friendship selection?These are questions that deserve further study. Anyway,the new study gives valuable insight into how natural selection shapes social relationship strategies as we age.and it is also stimulating because it makes one reconsider the nature of how humans think and behave.Answering questions like this is difficult because humans live such a long time,but what's important about this study is that it provides long-term data on known individuals that live a long time.By studying our evolutionary cousins,we can learn more about our own behavior. 43.What social change occurs in both humans and chimpanzees as they age? A.They avoid all forms of social grooming. B Their friendship circles expand significantly. C.They prioritize quantity over quality in friendships. D.They focus on fewer but deeper mutual relationships. 44.The chimpanzee study challenges the socioemotional selectivity theory because A.young chimpanzees exhibitcd stronger future-oriented cognition B.human friendships were proven unrelated to emotional reactivity C.chimpanzees were found to have a human-like understanding of death D.the social shift occurs in chimpanzees despite their lack of mortality awareness 45.What did Joan Silk imply about the chimpanzee study? A.Its approach is innovative. B.Its findings remain incomplete. C.Its explanation is reasonable. D.Its conclusions are unbelievable. 46.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Aging and Friendship:ANew Insight from Chimpanzees B.Future-Oriented Cognition:The Key to Friendships C.The Emotional Reactivity of Male Chimpanzees D.How Mortality Shapes Human Friendship Section C Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.So scientists made the two compete against each other. B.The groups of ants were much better at solving the puzzle than individual ants. C.It was a bit like moving an awkwardly large couch through a narrow hallway or stairwell. D.To make the experiments even more comparable,the team also took away the humans’ communication. E.Furthermore,when allowed to communicate,human groups performed about as well as the average individual in the group,so there was no advantage to teaming up. F.The ants "excel in cooperation,"they write,while humans need to be able to talk through their reasoning to avoid simply going with what they think the crowd wants. Ants Best Humans at Test of Collective Intelligence When people work together,they can achieve great things.But if they can't talk,they're not necessarily smarter than ants,at least according to a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Both longhorn crazy ants and humans can figure out how to work together to move a large and heavy object through a series of obstacles. 47 They had individuals and groups of different sizes of both species move a T-shaped object through a tricky series of openings in walls,both of which were scaled to the body size of the participants. This kind ofpuzzle is hard for ants because their pheromone-based(基于信息素的)communication doesn't account for the kind of geometry(几何)needed to get the object through the doors. 48 In some of the trials they made the humans wear sunglasses and masks and forbidding talking and gestures.So the people,like the ants,had to work together without language.They could only rely on the forces generated by their fellow participants to figure out how to move the T-shaped piece. 49 They exhibited what the researchers described as “emergent”collective memory an intelligence greater than the sum of its parts.The groups of humans,on the other hand,often didn't do better when working together,especially if they weren't allowed to talk.In fact,multiple people sometimes performed worse than individuals—and worse than the ants. The researchers assume that,in the absence of the ability to discuss and debate,individuals attempt to reach an agreement quickly rather than fully assessing the problem.This"group think,"they suggest, leads people toward fruitless “greedy”efforts where they directly pull the T-shaped object toward the gaps in the wall,rather than the less obvious,correct solution of pulling the object into the space between first. 50 II.Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. 51. The Fear of Taking Risks May Be Holding You Back Your brain will try to convince you to play it safe and tell you that you can't succeed or that you shouldn't bother trying something new.But even when these thoughts lack a rational(理性的)basis,we sometimes allow our anxiety to prevail(占上风).The problem is that we often base our decisions on emotion rather than logic.We incorrectly assume that there's a direct relation between our fear level and the risk level. However,learning to take healthy risks can improve your life.If you find yourself fearing to take healthy,calculated risks,there are two strategies that can help. To begin with,balance your emotions with logic.Too often,we think our fear is related to the level of the risk.The scarier something feels,the riskier it must be.Driving a car probably doesn't feel risky, but giving a speech might feel like a huge risk.Yet your chances of injury or death are higher when you're behind the wheel.Spend a few minutes thinking about the actual level of risk.Ask yourself,"What risk do I actually face?How can I handle it if it doesn't work out?” In addition,increase your chances of success.There are steps you can take to reduce the risk that you face.Spend time practicing a speech before you deliver it,which could increase your chances of success.Rather than spend time trying to decrease your fear,put your energy into increasing your chances of success. Facing your fears is a key component in developing the mental strength you need.It helps you learn to tolerate uncertainty and anxiety.It also provides you with a chance to sharpen your skills and learn from your mistake.With practice,you can get better at calculating risk.And as you improve,your chances of success will skyrocket.
