I've always been intimidated by cooking.My earliest memories of kitchen experiences involve burnt toast and a pot of boiled eggs that exploded,leaving a sticky mess on the stove.My mother,a talented cook,would often laugh and take over,and I soon decided that cooking was a skill I'd never master.But everything changed last summer when I moved into my own apartment-and-realized I couldn't survive on takeout forever. At first,I stuck to the simplest recipes:instant noodles,serambled eggs,and pre-made salads.But I quickly grew tired of the monotony and craved something more satisfying.One weekend,I found my grandmother's old recipe book in a box of family heirlooms.The book was worn and filled with handwritten notes,and inside were recipes for her famous braised pork ribs and red bean soup dishes I'd loved as a child.Suddenly,I felt a desire to recreate those flavors,not just for sustenanee,but to feel closer to my grandmother. My first attempt at braised pork ribs was a disaster.L added too much soy sauce,burned the sugar,and the meat was tough and chewy.I felt discouraged,but I didn't give up.I re-read the recipe carefully,watched several cooking tutorials online,and adjusted my method.The second try was better,but still not perfect.By the third attempt,the ribs were tender,flavorful,and full of the familiar taste I remembered. As I continued cooking,I discovered something surprising:I enjoyed it.It was a creative process that allowed me to experiment and express myself.Cooking also became a way to relieve stress after a long day of studying.I learned to be patient,as good dishes take time to prepare.I also learned responsibility,as I had to plan my meals and manage my ingredients properly.Now,I often invite friends over for dinner,and nothing makes me happier than seeing them enjoy the food I've cooked. I no longer fear the kitchen.Instead,it's become a place of joy and connection-a place where I can honor my grandmother's memory-and-create new memories of my own. 24.Why did the author decide to learn cooking seriously? 高二英语试题 第3页共8页 A.To recreate her grandmother's recipes.

To know what's going on,Serve has a laser radar )sensor on top,in which spinning lasers let it detect objects around it and know hew far away they are.Also,behind each artificial eye is a camera,with six more imaging devices spread around the robot.Inside it is another sensor that allows Postmates to know if there is a package in there. "One of our key decisions early on was to rely heavily on the robot's ability to see the environment,"says Ali Kashani,the vice president for robotics at Postmates.Since the sidewalk is"a very chaotic environment",he points out,the robot needs to be able to take it all in and figure out what to do.This robot,and many like it,also must be able to signal their intentions to the pedestrians().For that,it has a number of approaches.One is using its eyes; another is a colourful light ring that goes around the top."When if wants to make way for a pedestrian,it will use its eyes and look down,"he explains.It can also use the lights on the top as a turn signnl,which is obvious,and also look left and right when it's turning left and right. "Using eye movements and other silent signals is a good idea,"says Aaron Steinfeld,a professor of human-robot interaction.Serve is intended for sidewalks and Steinfeld says that environment is challenging.People usually walk fast while staring at a smartphone.For a robot,that's a lot."We have active research on robot moving socially around walking people,"he says."And it's really tricky to do this well." Postmates plans to-use Serve in Los Angeles-at first,and that its intended task is to move small objects over short distances.The robot ean travel 30 miles on one charge and is able to carry 50 pounds. 28.What is the function-of Serve's laser radar? A.To detect surrounding objects and their distances. B.To take photos of objects in the city. C.To check if there is a package inside. D.To help find short-distance delivery places. 29.How does Serve signal to pedestrians? A.By using its legs. B.By making loud sounds. C.By eye movements. D.By playing music. 30.What does Aaron Steinfeld think of making robot moving soeially around pedestrians? A.Amusing. B.Difficult. C.Boring. D.Impractical. 高二英语试题 第4页共8页 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Serve:City Long-Distance Robot. B.Postmates'New Delivery Tool. C.How Does Robot Serve Work? D.Postmates'Robot Serve for Delivery. 0 The debate has lasted for more than a century:does birth order shape personality,or are ideas about responsible firstborns and creative youngest children weak stereotypes(刻板印象)?Although several previous studies suggested there was little evidence for meaningful differences.a study published on Monday argues that there is an effect after all, In one of the largest studies ever conducted on birth order,family size and personality,Canadian researchers gathered data from more than 700,000 volunteers and found that on average,middle children scored higher than their siblings(on traits seen as important for cooperation.Scores for the same traits were also higher in families with more children,suggesting that people may be more likely to develop a cooperative personality when they are raised as part of a bigger group. Although the effects were not large,the researchers believe the findings challenge earlier conclusions."The weight of that evidence now indicates that personality trait levels do differ as a function of birth order and sibship size,"wrote Michael Ashton and Kiboom Lee in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Interest in birth order goes back a long way.In 1874,Francis Galton examined English scientists.and argued that firstborns benefited from greater parental attention.Later,psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that firstborns tended to be conscientious,youngest children creative,and middle children peacemakers,though some viewed them as“forgotten children,” Earlier research found firstborns to be slightly smarter than Inter-born children,a pattern also observed in the Canadian study.Beyond intelligence,the researchers identified differences in cooperative traits.People with more siblings scored higher on agreeableness and honesty-humility,with middle children showing a small additional advantage. The findings suggest that if an only child and a person from a family of six were chosen at random,there was a 60%chance that the more agreeable would be from the family of six."You.can't tell much about the personality of a given individual from their birth order or family size,even though there are clear differences when averaging across many people.Anyway,having more siblings fosters a more cooperative personality,while being-a middle child-calls for good bonds with younger and older siblings,"Lee said. 32.What can we-learn from the study results? A.Only middle children develop cooperative traits. B.Birth order shapes personality more than family size. C.Family size may contribute to cooperative personality. D.Middle children have better academic.performanees. 33.Why does the author mention Galton and Adler in Para 4? A.To explain how to be more cooperative. B.To trace the historical interest in birth order. C.To describe Canadian psychologists'methods. D.To emphasize the negleet of middle children today. 34.Whatdo Lee's words in the last paragraph suggest? A.Statistieal differences are practically meaningless. B.Birth order and family size have-ne effect on personality. C.Children from big families are bound to be more agreeable D.Birth order alone cannot determine an individual's personality. 高二英语试题 第5页共8页 35.What is the text most probably taken from?
