I had been going to treatments every three weeks for a year.” Less than two months later, Portia became a student at Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC). A little more than a year later, she graduated into a new career as a motorcycle mechanic, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Portia was chosen as the student speaker for CVTC's summer graduation ceremony on Thursday, August 1. “My parents always wanted me to go to college right out of high school, but my mom didn't want me to go into a profession that's hard on the body，” said Portia. Although Portia had already developed a love of motorcycles, she understood her mom's message. So Portia chose CVTC's Nursing-Associate Degree program. After getting married and having children, Portia worked night shifts at a nursing home to help support her family. “When my youngest child was 6, I was diagnosed with breast cancer，” Portia said. “I had surgery and went through a year of chemotherapy. Cancer made me realize you only live one time, and you have to do what you love to do. When I finished my chemotherapy, I said to my husband, you know, I've always dreamed of being a motorcycle mechanic.” Her husband Jim Maves gave Portia his full support to go back to CVTC and fulfill her dream. She applied right away and started the program a few weeks later on August 20，2018.She finished with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Portia is already working in the parts department of the Harley-Davidson dealership in Chippewa Falls. Someday she hopes to go to Milwaukee for further training at company headquarters. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了患有癌症的波西亚完成最后一次化疗后，重新开始追逐自己的梦想，并如愿成为一名摩托车机械工的励志故事。 24．What does the underlined part “that milestone” in paragraph 2 refer to?

One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes. Researchers from Queen Mary University of London organized RoboThespian's performances to test whether it could be as funny as a human. The electronic comedian went on stage for a show with British comedians Andrew O'Neilland Tiernan Douieb, performing the same jokes as Douieb but with a few changes—it is a robot after all. The robot has some advantages over human comedians, too. “We used computer vision and audio software to notice the response of each audience member, something a human comedian couldn't do，” said Kleomenis Katevas，the robot's programmer. “The machine used this information to decide who to look at and which gestures to use.” The robot also has other advantages over human comedians. Impressions of other people and sounds are very popular ways for performers to get laughs, and according to New Scientist reporter Celeste Biever, the robot can perform recorded sound by simply playing it back. It can also act out programmed pieces from Shakespeare or just about anything else. “Another of the robot's advantages is more surprising. Because I feel less empathy (同感) for RoboThespian than for human comedians, I feel more relaxed during its performances，” Biever added. And of course, RoboThespian is unlikely to feel as nervous as other comedians, or be affected too badly by an audience member shouting at it. The researchers say they're most interested in how audiences can be part of live performances. So in the future, we may be watching robots performing exactly the show we want to see. Do you think it's time for the robot to perform some more jokes? 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了机器人喜剧演员RoboThespian及其相对于人类喜剧演员的优势。 28．Why was RoboThespian originally developed? A．To help human comedians perform better on stage. B．To find out if robots could understand human jokes. C．To see if robots could perform like human comedians. D．To assist human comedians to make up some better jokes. C　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We use robots for tasks...can we use them as stand-up comedians？”和第二段中的“Researchers from Queen Mary University of London...as funny as a human.”可知，RoboThespian最初被开发出来是为了测试机器人能否像人类喜剧演员表演得一样有趣。 29．What did RoboThespian do when it gave performances on stage? A．It imitated the audience's voices to make them laugh. B．It was affected easily by an audience member shouting at it. C．It performed different kinds of jokes from human comedians. D．It recorded each audience member's reaction and acted accordingly. D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We used computer vision...a human comedian couldn't do”和“The machine used...which gestures to use.”可知，当机器人在舞台上表演时，它会记录每位观众的反应，并采取相应的行动。 30．What does Celeste Biever think of the robot comedian? A．He believes the future of comedy lies in it. B．He considers its jokes rather poor and boring. C．He thinks it isn't suitable for live performances. D．He feels more comfortable watching its performances. D　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Because I feel...more relaxed during its performances”可推知，塞莱斯特·比弗认为观看机器人的表演更舒服。 31．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Predictions of future comedy. B．Robot technology can help us live a happy life. C．The robot comedian RoboThespian and its advantages. D．A comparison between human comedians and robot comedians. C　解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“One robot called RoboThespian has been trying out some jokes.”和第二段中的“The robot has some advantages over human comedians, too.”可知，本文介绍了机器人喜剧演员RoboThespian及其相对于人类喜剧演员的优势。 D Both humans and animals possess the ability to cry out for help when endangered or threatened.Plants, as it turns out, can too. “We found that plants usually emit (发出) sounds when they are under stress and that each plant and each type of stress is associated with a specific identifiable sound，”researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel wrote in their findings, published in the scientific journal Cell. “While undetectable to the human ear, the sounds emitted by plants can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice, and insects.” Stressors like dehydration (脱水) and damage to leaves gave rise to the plants' high-pitched (尖声的) cries, which ranged from 20 to 250 kHz. The bigger the danger is, the more frequent a plant's signals are. “Unstressed plants emitted less than one sound per hour，on average，” researcher Lilach Hadany said, “while the stressed plants—both dehydrated and injured—emitted dozens of sounds every hour.” To catch these sounds, Hadany's team surrounded tomato and tobacco plants with super-sensitive microphones. They then fed the data into an artificial intelligence program that could tell the difference between the species of plant and the types of sounds produced. “Our findings suggest that the world around us is full of plant sounds, and that these sounds contain information，” Hadany wrote.She added that to translate that information, we just need the “right tools such as sensors that tell growers when plants need watering.” Doing so, researchers noted, may allow farmers to judge exactly when and where to water crops, saving water, increasing harvests, and lowering stress for both plants and humankind. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于植物能够发出声音的研究。 32．What did researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel find?

It might take a bit of effort, but you'll end up being a confident, cultured person. 37．____ Conversations are often filled with interruptions, and many people listen only when they can put in their own piece.

Ask questions where needed and show that you're not distracting your attention from what someone is saying. Be considerate and put other people's needs ahead of your own. 38.____ Rather than putting yourself first in every situation, consider how you should treat others. A perfect example of this is allowing the elderly to take your seat on a crowded bus or subway. Dress for the occasion. Your clothes should meet the expectations of a specific event. For example, if you are attending a wedding, you'll want to have your finest suit on. In most situations, like a night out with friends, smart casual clothes are enough.

Yours loving boy， Li Hua 第二节(满分25 分) 阅读下面的材料，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。 Bob and I hung out the whole summer, running in the field, swimming in the lake and exploring everywhere joyfully. It was a typical summer afternoon. Bob suggested we skip a language lesson to play basketball where I would show my defense, lay-ups and three-point shooting. I loved to explore, I loved sports, and I loved basketball most. I believed I would be the next LeBron James. But my passion for sports came to a sudden stop when I began experiencing extreme back pain later that day. After several visits to doctors, finally I was told that spine (脊柱) surgery was necessary. Unfortunately, the surgery accidentally damaged my spinal cord (脊髓). I was in the ward hanging face down to relieve the pressure on my spine. After four-month rehabilitation (康复) training in hospital, reality slowly set in—I was unable to walk again. I couldn't believe this should have happened to me, that it wasn't possible to recover, that I wouldn't become a famous basketball player, that my life, as I had known, was over. My future would be chained to a wheelchair. I was just 16 years old! Back home, I learned how hard it was going to be to get around in a wheelchair. I withdrew from my friends and my basketball. At Bob's repeated invitation, I agreed to go to our regular swimming hole. Unable to make it down the riverbank alone, I was too proud to ask for help. When I finally realized my pride would keep me away from people and sports I loved, I let Bob carry me on his back to the river's edge. Allowing others to help was a turning point. I realized my attitude was the biggest barrier I had to face. How could I expect others to see my potential if I didn't see it myself? How could I realize my basketball dream if I withdrew into myself? 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game._____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ With Bob's encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream._____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ One possible version： One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game. We watched the players weave their way and make impressive shots. They were fiercely competitive and moved around the court with incredible speed and precision，using wheelchairs to their full advantage. How I wished I could be one of them! Seeing the spark of excitement in my eyes, Bob whispered, “You can do it if you try.” I hesitated, “You mean it？” He nudged me and smiled, “It doesn't hurt to give it a shot！” With Bob's encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream. Initially, it was a struggle. Getting around in a wheelchair was challenging itself, let alone defending or shooting. Luckily, I was introduced to some of the wheelchair players who shared some tricks and encouraged me to carry on. Bob was always keeping me company during all the practices. The more I practiced, the more potential I saw in myself. I was back on court with Bob, pursuing my basketball dream, just in a different way. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
