Born in Coldwater, Michigan, in 1884, Harriet Quimby grew up in a poor family. Despite that, encouraged by her mother to believe that she could succeed in any job, she relied on her talents and knowledge to achieve what few women of her time even dared to dream about: becoming an aviator (飞行员).
Quimby became interested in aviation in 1910 when she attended the International Aviation Meet at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, where she met John Moisant, a well-known aviator and operator of a flight school. Quimby learned to fly at the Moisant Aviation School. After four months and thirty-three lessons, Quimby applied for and won her pilot’s licence (执照) on August 2, 1911, which made her the first American woman to receive a pilot’s licence from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in France.
In late 1911, Quimby decided to attempt a sea crossing from England to France. In March 1912, she sailed for England to begin preparations for her flight. In thickening fog on the morning of April 16, Quimby successfully crossed the sea, landing at Hardelot, about 25 miles south of her original destination. However, her hopes for front-page reports never came true, and her achievement went largely unnoticed in the next day’s papers. Despite the disappointment, Quimby loved to fly and continued competing in air events.
As one of the country’s few female pilots, Quimby gradually drew crowds whenever she competed in cross-country events and races. She showed her talents around the United States and even went to Mexico City to participate in aviation activities held in honor of the inauguration (就职典礼) of President Francisco Madero.
Besides her achievement in aviation, Quimby also fought for many women’s issues. For example, she pushed for a broadened role for women aviators. One woman impressed by Quimby was Amelia Earhart, who said, “Quimby was a pioneer who helped challenge traditional views about women’s roles in society and who made it possible for them to achieve their dreams.”
24. What is the significance of Quimby’s getting a pilot’s licence?
A. It helped update safety standards in aviation.
B. It redefined the limits on women in aviation.
C. It showed the advantage of natural talents.
D. It started her long friendship with Moisant.
25. Why was Quimby disappointed after her sea crossing?
A. She got totally ignored by the media.
B. She experienced the extreme weather.
C. She missed the original destination.
D. She had to continue competing soon.
26. What does paragraph 4 convey about Quimby?
A. Her challenges in cross-country races.
B. Her skills in aviation competitions.
C. Her reputation as a woman pilot.
D. Her duty in international aviation.
27. What is Amelia Earhart’s attitude towards Quimby?
A. Confused. B. Admirable.
C. Doubtful. D. Opposing.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是Harriet Quimby的传奇人生,核心内容围绕她在航空领域的卓越成就以及为女性权益所做的努力。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“After four months and thirty-three lessons, Quimby applied for and won her pilot’s licence (执照) on August 2, 1911, which made her the first American woman to receive a pilot’s licence from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in France.(经过四个月的学习和三十三节课的训练,Quimby于1911年8月2日申请并获得了飞行员执照,这使她成为首位获得法国国际航空联合会飞行员执照的美国女性。)”可知,Quimby获得飞行员执照的意义是重新定义了航空业对女性的限制。故选B。

We have all experienced those moments when we desperately want to be understood. It’s human nature to seek connection, empathy and acceptance from those around us. Yet, in our pursuit (追求) of understanding, have we overlooked the surprising power of being misunderstood? A conversation with Marie-Catherine Mignault, a researcher in organizational behavior at Cornell University, uncovered an interesting perspective on emotional understanding.
Mignault’s study highlights the significance of emotional understanding in relationships. She emphasizes that feeling understood by someone is a powerful force that builds trust, connection and emotional support.
While feeling understood is always desired, being misunderstood can lead to personal growth and creativity. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to face our own uniqueness. Mignault’s research raises an interesting question: Could embracing this discomfort lead to personal transformation?
A study published in Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience highlights the various emotional responses that humans naturally feel in response to misunderstanding, including feelings of hurt, jealousy, loneliness, guilt, anxiety and sadness. These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth. Feeling hurt when our connections seem undervalued forces us to pause and reflect. It’s a chance for us to react in a better way, ensuring that our relationships are truly appreciated.
Jealousy can be a powerful force for self-improvement. It motivates us to protect and safeguard our relationships, ensuring they remain strong and secure.
Loneliness, while unsettling, acts as a driving force for social re-engagement. It’s a gentle push, reminding us to reach out to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. These connections, in turn, fuel our personal growth. Guilt and shame make us reflect on our actions, encouraging us to make amends (弥补错误) and maintain the connections we value.
Anxiety can act as a driver of personal improvement. It inspires us to make the best possible impressions and go the extra mile to be our finest selves.
Sadness can inspire us to act. It encourages us to regain control over our lives and give other emotions like joy and curiosity a fair chance.
In a word, misunderstanding doesn’t have to be a setback. Instead, it can motivate us to explore our perspectives and uncover new insights and creative solutions.
28. What is the real value of misunderstanding according to the text?
A. It continuously maintains relationships.
B. It replaces emotional needs for protection.
C. It saves us the trouble of meeting people.
D. It drives self-reflection and transformation.
29. According to the research, what function does guilt have?
A. It helps leave the best impression.
B. It encourages defensive behavior.
C. It enhances efforts to repair valued relationships.
D. It prevents individuals from being further hurt.
30. How do people transform anxiety into a positive force?
A. By motivating self-improvement.
B By lowering social expectations.
C. By showing emotional expressions.
D. By removing all sources of stress.
31. What can be concluded about misunderstanding according to the text?
A. It’s a feeling about bad relationships.
B. It’s a way of destroying relationships.
C. It’s an opportunity for personal growth.
D. It’s an access to social communication.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了情感理解在人际关系中的重要性,认为误解不一定是挫折,相反,它能激励我们探索自身观点,发现新见解与创造性解决方案。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While feeling understood is always desired, being misunderstood can lead to personal growth and creativity. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to face our own uniqueness.(虽然被理解总是令人渴望,但被误解也能促进个人成长和激发创造力。它迫使我们走出舒适区,直面自身独特之处。)”和第四段“These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth.(这些情绪可以成为个人成长的驱动力。)”可知,被误解可以迫使我们走出舒适区,进行自我反思、成长和转变。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Guilt and shame make us reflect on our actions, encouraging us to make amends and maintain the connections we value.(弥补错误) and maintain the connections we value.(内疚和羞愧促使我们反思自己的行为,鼓励我们弥补错误并维系我们所珍视的关系。)”可知,内疚可以使我们更加努力地修复我们所珍视的关系。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段“Anxiety can act as a driver of personal improvement. It inspires us to make the best possible impressions and go the extra mile to be our finest selves.(焦虑可以成为个人进步的动力。它激励我们努力留下最佳印象,付出更多努力成为最好的自己。)”可知,人们会通过激励自己努力自我提升和进步,从而成为最好的自己的方式,将焦虑转变成一种积极的力量。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth.(这些情绪可以成为个人成长的驱动力。)”和最后一段“In a word, misunderstanding doesn’t have to be a setback.

D
When thinking of a robot, you might picture something with a lot of sensors, and stiff metal arms controlled by a computer. But scientists at the AMOLF institute in the Netherlands have come up with a robot that has no brain and no sensors. And yet this robot can “walk” by itself. And if dropped into water, it swims.
How is this possible? The team behind the robot says the secret is in the science of how air moves. If you’ve seen a “tube dancer,” you’ve seen how this robot works. Tube dancers are tall, thin cloth tubes. High-pressure air fills the tube, making it stand. As it stands, air flows faster, dropping the pressure and causing a bend. The tube falls partway over. The bend slows the air, raising the pressure. The pumped air then pushes the bend up, making the dancer stand again.
The magic happens to the robot because there are several tubes hooked up to the same air supply. When the air starts to flow, the tubes move in different ways. But very quickly, all of these “legs” start to move in exactly the same way, making the robot walk. The air pressure controls how fast the robot moves.
There are several remarkable things about the robot. First, it can cover a distance equal to thirty of its body lengths in a second. That would be like the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, running the 100-meter race in seconds. It can also go over uneven ground. If it bumps into a wall, it automatically turns. Perhaps most surprising is the fact that if the robot is dropped into water, it begins moving in a new way that allows it to swim.
So far, almost all of the robot’s skills are things that it just does automatically. The researchers hope to develop new ways to control the robot and perhaps give it more skills in the future.
32. What distinguishes the new robot from traditional ones?
A. Its shape and adaptability.
B. Its simplicity and automaticity.
C. Its intelligence and sensitivity.
D. Its appearance and controllability.
33. Why is the “tube dance” mentioned?
A. To clarify the uniqueness of the robot.
B. To predict the application of the robot.
C. To introduce the structure of the robot.
D. To illustrate the mechanism of the robot.
34. What determines the speed of the robot?
A. The number of the tubes.
B. The way the tubes move.
C. The type of the air supply.
D. The air pressure in the tube.
35. Which is a remarkable feature of the robot?
A. It can fly like the fastest human.
B. It can handle tough road conditions.
C. It can detect barriers that block its way.
D. It can keep its walking mode underwater.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新型的没有大脑和传感器、可以自己行走、游泳的机器人,及其背后的科学原理。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In our lives, we all want to achieve many things. ____36____ To understand the relationship between them, I will tell you a famous story.
In 1953, one athlete Yamada unexpectedly won the world championship. When reporters asked what made him achieve such a surprising success, he said: “Use wisdom to defeat others.” Many people didn’t believe him. Marathon is a sport which requires both physical strength and endurance (耐力). ____37____
Three years later, in the Fukuoka Marathon, Yamada won the championship again. A reporter asked him: “You have won the championship again. Can you talk about your experience?” ____38____ Everyone was puzzled by his so-called wisdom.
____39____ Yamada explained: “Before each race, I will check the whole route carefully. I will mark some important signs along the road. For example, the first mark is a bank, the second mark is a tree, and the third mark is a red house, thus marking to the end. When the race begins, I run as fast as I can towards the first goal, the bank. When I arrive at the bank, I will struggle for the second goal, the tree. ____40____ At first I didn’t know this method and set my goal at the end of the 40-kilometer marathon. Usually I got exhausted in the first 10 kilometers because I was frightened by the remote distance.
Now we know the relationship. We will start from the long-term goal and break the long-term goal into several small goals, and these small goals are our short-term goals.
A. Later, the mystery was finally solved.
B. Yamada answered him the same as the last time.
C. And we need both wisdom and physical strength.
D. And we have both short-term goals and long-term goals.

【答案】36. D 37. E 38. B 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述运动员山田靠拆分马拉松目标的智慧两次夺冠,点明需将长期目标拆解为短期目标的道理。
【36题详解】
上文“In our lives, we all want to achieve many things.(在我们的生活中,我们都想实现很多目标)”表明生活中人们都想达成诸多目标。空处和前文为顺接关系,需引出与目标相关的概念来衔接下文的故事。所以D项“我们既有短期目标也有长期目标。”引出目标的分类,为后文故事铺垫,符合语境。故选D。
【37题详解】
上文“In 1953, one athlete Yamada unexpectedly won the world championship. When reporters asked what made him achieve such a surprising success, he said: “Use wisdom to defeat others.” Many people didn’t believe him. Marathon is a sport which requires both physical strength and endurance (耐力).(1953年,一位运动员山田出人意料地赢得了世界冠军。当记者问他是什么让他取得如此惊人的成功时,他说:“用智慧打败别人。”很多人都不相信他。马拉松是一项需要体力和耐力的运动)”提及山田称靠智慧夺冠,而人们普遍认为马拉松需要体力和耐力。空处和前文为因果顺接关系,承接前文人们的认知,说明人们不相信他的原因。所以E项“因此,智慧能让他成功是令人难以置信的。”与前文的认知形成因果逻辑,符合语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
上文“A reporter asked him: “You have won the championship again. Can you talk about your experience?”(一位记者问他:“你又赢得了冠军。你能谈谈你的经历吗?”)”说明记者询问山田的经验。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明山田的回答。所以B项“山田的回答和上次一样。”呼应前文他第一次夺冠时“用智慧击败别人”的说法,且引出后文人们的困惑,符合语境。故选B。
【39题详解】
上文“Everyone was puzzled by his so-called wisdom.(每个人都对他所谓的智慧感到困惑)”说明大家对山田的智慧感到困惑。下文 Yamada解释的内容“Before each race, I will check the whole route carefully. I will mark some important signs along the road. For example, the first mark is a bank, the second mark is a tree, and the third mark is a red house, thus marking to the end. When the race begins, I run as fast as I can towards the first goal, the bank. When I arrive at the bank, I will struggle for the second goal, the tree.(每次比赛前,我都会仔细检查整个路线。我将在路上标出一些重要的标志。例如,第一个标记是银行,第二个标记是树,第三个标记是红房子,因此标记到了尽头。比赛开始时,我以最快的速度朝第一个目标——银行跑去。当我到达银行时,我将为第二个目标——那棵树——而奋斗)”说明山田对自己夺冠“智慧”的具体阐释,是在解开前文人们的疑惑。空处需要起到承上启下的作用,衔接前文的“puzzled”和下文的“explained”。所以A项“后来,谜团终于解开了”符合语境。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“When the race begins, I run as fast as I can towards the first goal, the bank. When I arrive at the bank, I will struggle for the second goal, the tree.(比赛开始时,我以最快的速度跑向第一个目标,银行。当我到达银行时,我会为第二个目标而努力,那棵树)”说明山田将马拉松分解成一个个小目标。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明山田继续解释自己的方法。所以G项“我把马拉松分成许多小目标,一个一个地完成”是对前文标记目标做法的总结,符合语境。故选G。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have just moved house and started a new job. I have to go to and from work on two trains. I transfer at a station where I get off a subway and get on another train. This means I have to tap my card (刷卡) twice — once to exit and once to enter again. The station where I transfer is in a really rough area, and the staff there deal with difficult situations every day.
It was the day before my payday, and I’d just finished a night shift. I thought I had enough on my travel card, but I didn’t. At first, I thought there was something wrong with my card, so I approached a staff member for help. From the name label, I knew her name was Lucy. I anxiously explained my problem to her. She then checked my card and told me that I’d tapped in and then tapped out earlier, which took thirty cents from my card. I was worried and asked nervously if I had reached the daily price cap (扣费上限) — I thought I only had to pay once to benefit from the free travel policy.
Upon hearing my words, Lucy immediately printed a receipt showing my top-up history, usage records, and balance, and then informed me that I’d only used half the amount required to reach the cap. I almost cried when I heard that because it meant I might be stuck in this area for over twelve hours until I got paid the next day.
I explained helplessly that I wouldn’t be paid until the next day and needed to get home to town, adding that I’d have to wait until the last train. She listened to me carefully and kindly, feeling sorry for my situation. I really wanted to borrow money from her. However, I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn’t know her at all. I guessed she wouldn’t trust a stranger so easily — maybe she would even laugh at me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, sensing my embarrassment, Lucy didn’t hesitate.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I thanked her repeatedly, promising to repay her the next day.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
However, sensing my embarrassment, Lucy didn’t hesitate. Without a second thought, she reached into her own purse and pulled out a ten-dollar note, pressing it firmly into my palm. “We’ve all been there, love,” she said with a warm smile that reached her tired eyes. “Just top up your card and make it home safely.” Her kindness, so freely given in a place accustomed to hardship, felt like a lifeline. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that tears welled up in my eyes, my earlier anxiety replaced by a sudden warmth in my chest.
I thanked her repeatedly, promising to repay her the next day. The next afternoon, after receiving my pay, I went straight back to the transfer station. Looking around, I spotted Lucy helping an elderly passenger with a heavy bag. When she saw me approaching, her face lit up with recognition. Before I could even take the money out of my envelope, she shook her head gently, saying, “Forget about it. Just give it to someone in need.” Lucy’s selfless act reminded me that even in a rough world, kindness still shines brightly and I’d pass it on in the future.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者发薪日前夜班下班,因交通卡余额不足无法回家,在换乘站得到工作人员Lucy的热心帮助,事后作者还钱被拒并决心传递这份善意的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然而,Lucy察觉到了我的窘迫,她毫不犹豫。”以及第二段首句内容“我连声道谢,承诺第二天就把钱还给她。”可知,第一段可描写Lucy给作者充了钱,作者非常感动。
②由第二段首句内容“我连声道谢,承诺第二天就把钱还给她。”可知,第二段可描写作者次日拿到工资后,就赶紧找到Lucy想要感谢她,然而Lucy却婉拒了。
2.续写线索:Lucy察觉到了作者的窘迫,一点都没有犹豫地掏出了10美元——她让作者赶紧给交通卡充钱,这样才能赶紧回家——作者心中充满了感激,泪水直打转——作者承诺自己一定会还钱——次日,作者找到Lucy,想要还钱——然而,Lucy却婉拒了,她希望作者将善意传递下去
3.词汇激活

Born in Coldwater, Michigan, in 1884, Harriet Quimby grew up in a poor family. Despite that, encouraged by her mother to believe that she could succeed in any job, she relied on her talents and knowledge to achieve what few women of her time even dared to dream about: becoming an aviator (飞行员).
Quimby became interested in aviation in 1910 when she attended the International Aviation Meet at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, where she met John Moisant, a well-known aviator and operator of a flight school. Quimby learned to fly at the Moisant Aviation School. After four months and thirty-three lessons, Quimby applied for and won her pilot’s licence (执照) on August 2, 1911, which made her the first American woman to receive a pilot’s licence from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in France.
In late 1911, Quimby decided to attempt a sea crossing from England to France. In March 1912, she sailed for England to begin preparations for her flight. In thickening fog on the morning of April 16, Quimby successfully crossed the sea, landing at Hardelot, about 25 miles south of her original destination. However, her hopes for front-page reports never came true, and her achievement went largely unnoticed in the next day’s papers. Despite the disappointment, Quimby loved to fly and continued competing in air events.
As one of the country’s few female pilots, Quimby gradually drew crowds whenever she competed in cross-country events and races. She showed her talents around the United States and even went to Mexico City to participate in aviation activities held in honor of the inauguration (就职典礼) of President Francisco Madero.
Besides her achievement in aviation, Quimby also fought for many women’s issues. For example, she pushed for a broadened role for women aviators. One woman impressed by Quimby was Amelia Earhart, who said, “Quimby was a pioneer who helped challenge traditional views about women’s roles in society and who made it possible for them to achieve their dreams.”
24. What is the significance of Quimby’s getting a pilot’s licence?
A. It helped update safety standards in aviation.
B. It redefined the limits on women in aviation.
C. It showed the advantage of natural talents.
D. It started her long friendship with Moisant.
25. Why was Quimby disappointed after her sea crossing?
A. She got totally ignored by the media.
B. She experienced the extreme weather.
C. She missed the original destination.
D. She had to continue competing soon.
26. What does paragraph 4 convey about Quimby?
A. Her challenges in cross-country races.
B. Her skills in aviation competitions.
C. Her reputation as a woman pilot.
D. Her duty in international aviation.
27. What is Amelia Earhart’s attitude towards Quimby?
A. Confused. B. Admirable.
C. Doubtful. D. Opposing.

We have all experienced those moments when we desperately want to be understood. It’s human nature to seek connection, empathy and acceptance from those around us. Yet, in our pursuit (追求) of understanding, have we overlooked the surprising power of being misunderstood? A conversation with Marie-Catherine Mignault, a researcher in organizational behavior at Cornell University, uncovered an interesting perspective on emotional understanding.
Mignault’s study highlights the significance of emotional understanding in relationships. She emphasizes that feeling understood by someone is a powerful force that builds trust, connection and emotional support.
While feeling understood is always desired, being misunderstood can lead to personal growth and creativity. It pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to face our own uniqueness. Mignault’s research raises an interesting question: Could embracing this discomfort lead to personal transformation?
A study published in Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience highlights the various emotional responses that humans naturally feel in response to misunderstanding, including feelings of hurt, jealousy, loneliness, guilt, anxiety and sadness. These emotions can serve as a driving force for personal growth. Feeling hurt when our connections seem undervalued forces us to pause and reflect. It’s a chance for us to react in a better way, ensuring that our relationships are truly appreciated.
Jealousy can be a powerful force for self-improvement. It motivates us to protect and safeguard our relationships, ensuring they remain strong and secure.
Loneliness, while unsettling, acts as a driving force for social re-engagement. It’s a gentle push, reminding us to reach out to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. These connections, in turn, fuel our personal growth. Guilt and shame make us reflect on our actions, encouraging us to make amends (弥补错误) and maintain the connections we value.
Anxiety can act as a driver of personal improvement. It inspires us to make the best possible impressions and go the extra mile to be our finest selves.
Sadness can inspire us to act. It encourages us to regain control over our lives and give other emotions like joy and curiosity a fair chance.
In a word, misunderstanding doesn’t have to be a setback. Instead, it can motivate us to explore our perspectives and uncover new insights and creative solutions.
28. What is the real value of misunderstanding according to the text?
A It continuously maintains relationships.
B. It replaces emotional needs for protection.
C. It saves us the trouble of meeting people.
D. It drives self-reflection and transformation.
29. According to the research, what function does guilt have?
A. It helps leave the best impression.
B. It encourages defensive behavior.
C. It enhances efforts to repair valued relationships.
D. It prevents individuals from being further hurt.
30. How do people transform anxiety into a positive force?
A. By motivating self-improvement.
B. By lowering social expectations.
C. By showing emotional expressions.
D. By removing all sources of stress.
31. What can be concluded about misunderstanding according to the text?
A. It’s a feeling about bad relationships.
B. It’s a way of destroying relationships.
C. It’s an opportunity for personal growth.
D. It’s an access to social communication.
D
When thinking of a robot, you might picture something with a lot of sensors, and stiff metal arms controlled by a computer. But scientists at the AMOLF institute in the Netherlands have come up with a robot that has no brain and no sensors. And yet this robot can “walk” by itself. And if dropped into water, it swims.
How is this possible? The team behind the robot says the secret is in the science of how air moves. If you’ve seen a “tube dancer,” you’ve seen how this robot works. Tube dancers are tall, thin cloth tubes. High-pressure air fills the tube, making it stand. As it stands, air flows faster, dropping the pressure and causing a bend. The tube falls partway over. The bend slows the air, raising the pressure. The pumped air then pushes the bend up, making the dancer stand again.
The magic happens to the robot because there are several tubes hooked up to the same air supply. When the air starts to flow, the tubes move in different ways. But very quickly, all of these “legs” start to move in exactly the same way, making the robot walk. The air pressure controls how fast the robot moves.
There are several remarkable things about the robot. First, it can cover a distance equal to thirty of its body lengths in a second. That would be like the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, running the 100-meter race in seconds. It can also go over uneven ground. If it bumps into a wall, it automatically turns. Perhaps most surprising is the fact that if the robot is dropped into water, it begins moving in a new way that allows it to swim.
So far, almost all of the robot’s skills are things that it just does automatically. The researchers hope to develop new ways to control the robot and perhaps give it more skills in the future.
32. What distinguishes the new robot from traditional ones?
A. Its shape and adaptability.
B. Its simplicity and automaticity.
C. Its intelligence and sensitivity.
D. Its appearance and controllability.
33. Why is the “tube dance” mentioned?
A. To clarify the uniqueness of the robot.
B. To predict the application of the robot.
C. To introduce the structure of the robot.
D. To illustrate the mechanism of the robot.
34. What determines the speed of the robot?
A. The number of the tubes.
B. The way the tubes move.
C. The type of the air supply.
D. The air pressure in the tube.
35. Which is a remarkable feature of the robot?
A. It can fly like the fastest human.
B. It can handle tough road conditions.
C. It can detect barriers that block its way.
D. It can keep its walking mode underwater.

In our lives, we all want to achieve many things. ____36____ To understand the relationship between them, I will tell you a famous story.
In 1953, one athlete Yamada unexpectedly won the world championship. When reporters asked what made him achieve such a surprising success, he said: “Use wisdom to defeat others.” Many people didn’t believe him. Marathon is a sport which requires both physical strength and endurance (耐力). ____37____
Three years later, in the Fukuoka Marathon, Yamada won the championship again. A reporter asked him: “You have won the championship again. Can you talk about your experience?” ____38____ Everyone was puzzled by his so-called wisdom.
____39____ Yamada explained: “Before each race, I will check the whole route carefully. I will mark some important signs along the road. For example, the first mark is a bank, the second mark is a tree, and the third mark is a red house, thus marking to the end. When the race begins, I run as fast as I can towards the first goal, the bank. When I arrive at the bank, I will struggle for the second goal, the tree. ____40____ At first I didn’t know this method and set my goal at the end of the 40-kilometer marathon. Usually I got exhausted in the first 10 kilometers because I was frightened by the remote distance.
Now we know the relationship. We will start from the long-term goal and break the long-term goal into several small goals, and these small goals are our short-term goals.
A. Later, the mystery was finally solved.
B. Yamada answered him the same as the last time.
C. And we need both wisdom and physical strength.
D. And we have both short-term goals and long-term goals.
E. So it was unbelievable that wisdom had led to his success.
F. Yamada said that he was full of wisdom to be the champion.
G. I break marathon into many small goals and finish them one by one.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have just moved house and started a new job. I have to go to and from work on two trains. I transfer at a station where I get off a subway and get on another train. This means I have to tap my card (刷卡) twice — once to exit and once to enter again. The station where I transfer is in a really rough area, and the staff there deal with difficult situations every day.
It was the day before my payday, and I’d just finished a night shift. I thought I had enough on my travel card, but I didn’t. At first, I thought there was something wrong with my card, so I approached a staff member for help. From the name label, I knew her name was Lucy. I anxiously explained my problem to her. She then checked my card and told me that I’d tapped in and then tapped out earlier, which took thirty cents from my card. I was worried and asked nervously if I had reached the daily price cap (扣费上限) — I thought I only had to pay once to benefit from the free travel policy.
Upon hearing my words, Lucy immediately printed a receipt showing my top-up history, usage records, and balance, and then informed me that I’d only used half the amount required to reach the cap. I almost cried when I heard that because it meant I might be stuck in this area for over twelve hours until I got paid the next day.
I explained helplessly that I wouldn’t be paid until the next day and needed to get home to town adding that I’d have to wait until the last train. She listened to me carefully and kindly, feeling sorry for my situation. I really wanted to borrow money from her. However, I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn’t know her at all. I guessed she wouldn’t trust a stranger so easily — maybe she would even laugh at me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, sensing my embarrassment, Lucy didn’t hesitate.

I thanked her repeatedly, promising to repay her the next day.
