B
As a clueless freshman,I took my first creative writing course by accident,thinking it was a
literature class on how to read stories,not how to write them.
When the teacher introduced the course,I realized my mistake.The credits I earned from
the course wouldn't count toward my major.By the end of the class,however,I decided that I had
to be a part of the course.Perhaps,as a lifelong reader,I was eager to understand how stories
worked their magic.
But taking the class would be impossible:I wasn't even on the wait list.That's when the
teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story.Silence filled the room.No one
risked eye contact.Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week.Perhaps
they,like me,had never written one before.
Seizing my chance,I raised my hand and asked,"If I go first,will you give me a place in
the class?"He said he would.So,instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact,I
did the opposite.
Years later,I'd completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a
literary agent (asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft.But I wasn't comfortable
showing her anything;the novel was far from done.Throughout graduate school,I'd been advised
many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft.In the meanwhile,I knew the
beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year.So,
enc again,instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contaci.i did the opposite.i sent
ier the first three chapters.A month later,she signed me on the strengi.of those chapters alone.
She has since seen me through the publication of three novels.
Determination,focus,perseverance-the virtues that I consider crucial in getting me into
Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today.And yet if I'd trained my gaze only
on the path ahead,I would have missed so many happy accidents,so many beautiful opportunities
to look up,raise my hand,and say yes.
41.What made the author finally decide to take the course?
A.The popularity of the course.
B.Her curiosity about story writing.
C.Her confidence in her writing skills.D.The need to get credits for her degree.
42.The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to
A.challenge herself
B.impress the teacher
C.display her talent
D.win a position in the class
43.The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because
A.her friends advised her to do so
B.she wanted to get the chance of publication
C.the agent asked her to turn in the work D.her story was attractive to readers
44.What does the underlined word"virtues"in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Qualities
B.Weaknesses
C.Reasons
D.Impacts
45.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.One false move may lose the game.
B.Success comes to those who will and dare.
C.No one is born wise or learned.

C
Robots doing housework is nothing new,with Tesla revealing its latest achievements in
robotics.Recently,a robot called Mobile Aloha caught the attention of many at the beginning of
2024,with short videos of it cooking at someone's home going viral in January.
Developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University in the US,the robot can handle
everything for a dish,whether it is chopping vegetables or cracking eggs.It also excels()in
various household tasks like watering plants,petting cats,cleaning the floor and doing laundry.It
even knows to shake the pillow after putting on a pillowcase An Intemnet user joked under
one video that as long as this thing doesn't try to kill him whil he is aslecp,he is in real need of
论.
However,a following video posted by one of the researchers,Tony Zhao,and showing
Mobile Aloha's failures proved that the idea of having a robot servant may just be wishful thinking.
In the video,Mobile Aloha randomly broke glasses and plates,crashed on cabinets()and
even burned a pot.
It turns out that Mobile Aloha is not a complete self-learning system that can independently
work in new environments.It relies on demonstrations by human operators in its surroundings,
meaning that the robot needs to learn from human behavior before completing each task.Also,
according to the team,the robot achieves a 95 percent success rate in wiping red wine stains(),
80 percent in pushing chairs,and a mere 40 percent in frying shrimp().In short,it's far from
perfect.
The behavioral problems of AI robots have been troubling scientists for years.Although AI
robots do pretty well in things requiring high-level reasoning like math,they perform worse than a
one-year-old child when it comes to simple tasks demanding abilities of emotion,reflexes()
and mobility,among others.
The new housework-helping robot gets people excited but also shows its shortcomings.
There is still a long way for robots to take place of human to do household tasks.
46,What does Paragraph 2 focus on about Mobile Aloha?
A.Its online popularity.
B.Its potential risks.
C.Its design principles.
D.Its main uses.
47.What does Tony Zhao's video suggest according to the text?
A.Mobile Aloha needs further improvement.
B.AI robots are ready for household tasks
C.Robot servants should work under supervision.
D.It is expensive to have robots do household tasks.
48.How can Mobile Aloha best complete a new task,according to the iext?
A.By learning from previous tasks.
B.By operating ir:ver dently.
C.By imitating how humans do it.
D.By seeking he:.from programmers.
49.Which type of tasks may AI robots be better at than others,according to the text?
A.Quick reflex.
B.accurate countig.
C.Emotional response.
D.Simple mobility.
50.What is the author's attitude towards the household robots?
A.Supportive.B.Critical.
C.Objective.
D.Worried.

五、阅读表达(每题2分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
People have long noted the importance of physical activity.It can not only improve your
appearance but also help to reduce the risk of some diseases,including heart disease,diabetes and
even some kinds of cancer.But many people don't know how to do exercise.
Earlier this year,the Centers for Disease Control released its first ever Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans.To get the most from your exercise plan,experts say adults should get
at least two and a half hours of exercise each week.More intense activities reduce the
suggested amount of time to one hour and fifteen minutes.And it doesn't matter whether you
exercise for short periods in five days or longer time in two or three days.
Most importantly,experts say people should choose physical activity that they find fun.
This helps to guarantee that they stay with the program.According to them,walking tops the list.
More than 79 million Americans walk to stay physically fit.Another popular form of exercise is
jogging ()Jogging provides great physical conditioning for the heart and lungs.And it
increases the flow of blood and oxygen in the body.Swimming is a third most popular sports
activity in the United States.Swim:n aiso presents less risk of muscle and joint injury because
of the body's weightlessness in water.This makes it a great choice of exercise for people with
special needs,like persons who are overweight.Dancing can also be a fun way to exercise.This is
especially true for those who see exercise as a necessary evil )
Whatever kind of exercise you choose,experts agree that you should start small first.Start
by exercising ten minutes a day two times a week.After a few weeks,work your way up.You'd
better increase your time to fifteen or twenty minutes,and increase the number of days.
