During the Spring Festival Gala (春晚) of the Year of the Snake, some robots performed a Yangge dance. The dance was directed by Zhang Yimou, and 16 robots were dressed in Chinese style clothes. They danced together with human dancers. The humanoid (仿人的) robots can not only dance well, but also twirl handkerchiefs (手帕), showing highly skillful actions.
The innovative (创新的) dance surprised many overseas netizens. “Watching the full dance and the way the robots turn those handkerchiefs is really exciting,” one netizen said. “I truly think it’s kind of cool. The more you mix technology with life, the easier it is to get people to love it,” another one said. “In the Spring Festival Gala, there was a surprising robot dance show. They danced so well! The handkerchief could be turned, thrown out and returned to its original (原来的) position correctly! AI and robots are in the next level now. We should start and don’t get behind!” a netizen from America said.
It was Unitree H1, a humanoid robot product of Unitree, that put on the dance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Unitree said they named this model of robots “Fuxi”, a homophone (同音词) for a mythical ancestor (祖先) of the Chinese nation, symbolizing the best wishes brought by technology.

When it comes to delicious food, nothing beats our grandma’s cooking, maybe except more grandmas’ cooking in the same kitchen. It is what goes on at Enoteca Maria, an Italian restaurant in New York City. The restaurant hires grandmas from all over the world, instead of actual cooks.
The owner of the restaurant, Jody Scaravella, came up with the wonderful idea. After losing his mother, grandmother and sister, Jody missed sitting down with family for home-cooked meals. He wanted to create a place to go out for a home-cooked meal and Enoteca Maria was born in 2007.
The first grandma cooks of the restaurant came from different parts of Italy. They would take turns to cook their own special dishes. Sometimes, they would have friendly competitions of whose dish was best. Over time, Jody decided to invite grandmas worldwide. Today, the restaurant has grandmas from around 30 countries, like Brazil, China and Japan. They take turns to work in the kitchen.
The restaurant is only open three days a week: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Its website lists the menu for each of these days. Half of the menu is fixed, and it’s all Italian dishes. The other half changes daily and it includes dishes from around the world.
Each night, one of the grandmas designs a fresh menu. It usually includes traditional dishes from her home country and the food she loves best. How do people like the food? Well, the restaurant is full of people on most nights. As the grandmas happily work in the kitchen, business is running at full speed at this restaurant!
8. Why did Jody open the restaurant?
A. To realize his childhood dream. B. To create a place with the taste of home.
C. To put more grandmas to work. D. To remember his family.
9. What does the underlined word “fixed” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Old. B. Fresh. C. Simple. D. Unchanging.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Enoteca Maria has high prices of dishes. B. Enoteca Maria offers fast food.
C. Enoteca Maria is very popular. D. Enoteca Maria is very quiet.
11. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. A clever owner of an Italian restaurant. B. Different food cultures around the world.
C. A special restaurant in New York City. D. Grandmas’ traditional dishes.
D
Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing—they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning (警报), or a call for help: I’m being attacked! These chemicals can’t be noticed by people but can be picked up by other plants. When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. That’s why the first plant is usually found hurt while the neighbours stay well. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统) so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can connect nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is connected underground by fungi (真菌). It connects the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to talk with them ourselves.
12. What will plants do when they are being attacked by insects?
A. They will kill the insects by themselves.
B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C. They will let people know what’s happening.
D. They will produce chemicals to drive the insects away.
13. How does the writer’s “surprise” about the plant communication develop?
A. B.
C. D.
14. In which part of the newspaper can we see this passage?
A. Culture. B. Sports. C. Nature. D. Health.
15 Which is the right structure of the passage?
(①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 )
A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
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。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Sometimes our friends can do things that make us upset, and we might want to talk to them about it. ___16___ Here are some tips.
Have good evidence (证据). The evidence should be something that you both agree on. Once you have evidence, you can explain how it affects you. ___17___ For example, saying “I feel hurt that you spend less time with me.” is less accusatory (谴责的) than “You never spend time with me!”
Stay calm during the talk. If you get angry, it might lead to a fight. You can tell your friend that this talk makes you feel a little nervous. ___18___
Let go of being right. It’s important to listen to your friend’s opinion. Don’t just focus on proving yourself right. You can try to understand how he or she feels.
Listen and plan. ___19___ Many experts suggest planning what you want to say, so you can say it in a way that doesn’t create trouble. But don’t plan so much that you can’t be flexible (可变的) in the talk.
___20___ Remember that difficult problems can’t be solved in just one talk. Think about what is possible to achieve in one discussion. This will help you set realistic goals for what you can achieve.
A. Be realistic (实事求是的).
B. But how can we make these talks easier?
C. Describe problems with “I”.
D. In this way, your friend will understand you better.
E. Ask others for help when it is necessary.
F. You can lower the chances of arguing by listening carefully to your friend.

第三节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成表格中所缺信息。每空限填一词。
It’s the day before an exam, and you haven’t studied for it. As a result, you spend hours reading your textbook and going over your notes at night.
This learning way is called “cramming (临时抱佛脚)”—trying to learn everything at the last minute. Dr. Robert Bjork, a psychologist (心理学家), explains that cramming works only for short-term memory. “You remember just enough for an easy exam,” he says, “and you quickly forget most of what you ‘learned’ that night.” This is especially bad for subjects like maths or languages. If you forget the basic knowledge, it will be much harder to understand new lessons later.
What are the better learning ways? A study shows that two ways—spaced-out learning (间隔学习) and interleaving (交叉学习)—are much more helpful than cramming.
Spaced-out learning means studying the same thing several times with breaks. For example, instead of studying history for three hours the night before a test, you can study for one hour on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This improves long-term memory. A study found that 90% of students remembered more by spaced-out learning than cramming.
Interleaving is also a smart learning way. This means trying to learn different things every time you study. For example, you can spend 30 minutes on maths, practise English for 20 minutes, and then write a short article. After that, go back to maths. Then you can remember the information better and for a longer time.
Next time you have an exam, start studying early, space out study time, and mix up subjects. Remember: studying wisely is better than studying hard at the last minute.

When it comes to delicious food, nothing beats our grandma’s cooking, maybe except more grandmas’ cooking in the same kitchen. It is what goes on at Enoteca Maria, an Italian restaurant in New York City. The restaurant hires grandmas from all over the world, instead of actual cooks.
The owner of the restaurant, Jody Scaravella, came up with the wonderful idea. After losing his mother, grandmother and sister, Jody missed sitting down with family for home-cooked meals. He wanted to create a place to go out for a home-cooked meal and Enoteca Maria was born in 2007.
The first grandma cooks of the restaurant came from different parts of Italy. They would take turns to cook their own special dishes. Sometimes, they would have friendly competitions of whose dish was best. Over time, Jody decided to invite grandmas worldwide. Today, the restaurant has grandmas from around 30 countries, like Brazil, China and Japan. They take turns to work in the kitchen.
The restaurant is only open three days a week: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Its website lists the menu for each of these days. Half of the menu is fixed, and it’s all Italian dishes. The other half changes daily and it includes dishes from around the world.
Each night, one of the grandmas designs a fresh menu. It usually includes traditional dishes from her home country and the food she loves best. How do people like the food? Well, the restaurant is full of people on most nights. As the grandmas happily work in the kitchen, business is running at full speed at this restaurant!

Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing—they do communicate with each other.
It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning (警报), or a call for help: I’m being attacked! These chemicals can’t be noticed by people but can be picked up by other plants. When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. That’s why the first plant is usually found hurt while the neighbours stay well. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system (系统) so that we can use it to grow more crops.
More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.
Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can connect nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is connected underground by fungi (真菌). It connects the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use.
Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to talk with them ourselves.
12. What will plants do when they are being attacked by insects?
A. They will kill the insects by themselves.
B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects.
C. They will let people know what’s happening.
D. They will produce chemicals to drive the insects away.
13. How does the writer’s “surprise” about the plant communication develop?
A. B.
C. D.
14. In which part of the newspaper can we see this passage?
A. Culture. B. Sports. C. Nature. D. Health.
15. Which is the right structure of the passage?
(①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 )
A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①/②/③④⑤ C. ①②③/④/⑤ D. ①②/③④/⑤
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了植物之间通过化学物质、声音以及一个被称为“木维网”的地下真菌网络进行交流的惊人发现。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
篇章结构题。文章在介绍植物交流方式时,使用了递进的惊讶程度:“It has been known for some time…” (已知一段时间),“More surprisingly…” (更令人惊讶的是),“Most surprisingly of all…” (最令人惊讶的是)。因此,作者关于植物交流的“惊讶”是逐渐增强的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。本文介绍了植物之间交流的自然科学现象,属于自然科学范畴,因此最可能出现在报纸的“自然”板块。故选C。
【15题详解】
篇章结构题。文章结构为:第①段提出主题“植物会交流”;第②段介绍已知的化学物质交流;第③段介绍更令人惊讶的声音交流;第④段介绍最令人惊讶的“木维网”交流系统;第⑤段总结展望。因此结构是①/②③④/⑤。故选A。

【16题详解】
根据文章开头“Sometimes our friends can do things that make us upset, and we might want to talk to them about it…. Here are some tips.”可知,文章在提出问题(朋友让我们不快,我们想谈谈)后,紧接着要给出建议。空白处应是一个承上启下的过渡句,引出下文的具体建议。B选项“但我们如何能让这些谈话更容易些呢?”符合语境,它直接承接了上文“想谈谈”的意愿,并自然引出下文“以下是一些建议”和具体技巧的阐述。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据第2段“The evidence should be something that you both agree on. Once you have evidence, you can explain how it affects you…. For example, saying ‘I feel hurt that you spend less time with me.’ is less accusatory than ‘You never spend time with me!’”可知,本段在说明有了证据后应如何解释影响,并举例对比了两种表达方式。空白处位于解释影响与举例之间,应是对前面所述方法的一个具体命名或总结。C选项“用‘我’来描述问题。”符合语境,它准确地概括了举例中“I feel hurt…”这种表达方式的核心——使用第一人称陈述感受,而非指责对方。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据第3段“Stay calm during the talk. If you get angry, it might lead to a fight. You can tell your friend that this talk makes you feel a little nervous…. In this way, your friend will understand you better.”可知,本段建议保持冷静,并提到可以告诉朋友自己有点紧张。空白处位于陈述自己紧张感之后,应是对这一行为带来的积极效果的说明。D选项“这样一来,你的朋友会更好地理解你。”符合语境,它解释了向朋友袒露紧张情绪的目的,有助于营造理解和坦诚的沟通氛围。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据第5段“Listen and plan…. Many experts suggest planning what you want to say, so you can say it in a way that doesn’t create trouble. But don’t plan so much that you can’t be flexible in the talk.”可知,本段小标题是“倾听与计划”,正文部分主要是在讲“计划”说辞。空白处位于段首,应是对“倾听”这一方面的具体建议,以呼应标题。F选项“通过认真倾听你的朋友,你可以降低争吵的可能性。”符合语境,它直接点明了“倾听”的重要作用(避免争吵),补充了标题中“倾听”部分的内容,使段落内容更完整。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据最后一段“…Remember that difficult problems can’t be solved in just one talk. Think about what is possible to achieve in one discussion. This will help you set realistic goals for what you can achieve.”可知,本段核心是建议设定现实可行的目标。空白处位于段首,应是一个小标题,概括本段主旨。A选项“要实事求是。”符合语境,它简洁地概括了设定现实目标、不要期望一次解决所有问题的核心思想。故选A。

第三节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,完成表格中所缺信息。每空限填一词。
It’s the day before an exam, and you haven’t studied for it. As a result, you spend hours reading your textbook and going over your notes at night.
This learning way is called “cramming (临时抱佛脚)”—trying to learn everything at the last minute. Dr. Robert Bjork, a psychologist (心理学家), explains that cramming works only for short-term memory. “You remember just enough for an easy exam,” he says, “and you quickly forget most of what you ‘learned’ that night.” This is especially bad for subjects like maths or languages. If you forget the basic knowledge, it will be much harder to understand new lessons later.
What are the better learning ways? A study shows that two ways—spaced-out learning (间隔学习) and interleaving (交叉学习)—are much more helpful than cramming.
Spaced-out learning means studying the same thing several times with breaks. For example, instead of studying history for three hours the night before a test, you can study for one hour on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This improves long-term memory. A study found that 90% of students remembered more by spaced-out learning than cramming.
Interleaving is also a smart learning way. This means trying to learn different things every time you study. For example, you can spend 30 minutes on maths, practise English for 20 minutes, and then write a short article. After that, go back to maths. Then you can remember the information better and for a longer time.
Next time you have an exam, start studying early, space out study time, and mix up subjects. Remember: studying wisely is better than studying hard at the last minute.
