One day, he saw a magazine article that interested him. It was about prosthetics(假肢), which can be used to replace a hand, arm or leg. The article said people are using 3-D printers to build these devices. Anderson thought this was very cool. He wanted to learn more about it. So Anderson talked to his science teacher, Dr. Holly Martin. He asked if they could build a prosthetic together. The timing(时机的把握) was perfect. Martin had just heard about a group called Enabling the Future. This group asks volunteers to help to build robotic arms and legs. The volunteers build them for people who share their stories on the website. Anderson and Martin looked through the website together. They decided to help a man from the country of Romania. His name is Cornel Crismaru, who lost his leg, hand and part of his arm. In February, Anderson and Martin got to work. Building the robotic arm was not easy. Anderson ran into some problems along the way. He had hoped to use a 3-D Printer at his school. One of the pieces for the arm was bigger than the size of the printer, though. Soon Anderson had an idea to solve this problem. He reached out to a 3-D printing company in Woodstock, Georgia. The company agreed to help. Anderson and Martin could use their big 3-D printers. After that, Anderson worked on the arm for about three months. Anderson and Martin sent the arm to Crismaru in May. In August, they received a notice. It is from Crismaru’s son. He thanked Anderson and Martin for their help. Martin said she hopes children and grown-ups who hear about Andersons projects will realize that it may be hard to change the world, but they can start with small acts. Some of these can help a person in a huge way. 4. Anderson talked to his science teacher about_______. A. starting a website together B. buying a 3-D printer C. building a prosthetic together D. studying robots 5. Anderson and Dr. Martin learned from the website that Crismaru______. A. lost some body parts B. wanted to be a volunteer C. was homeless D. was interested in robots 6. How did Anderson solve his problem? A. He made a new 3-D printer. B. Hе took Dr.Martin’s advice. C. He worked together with his school. D. He got help from a 3-D printing company. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Failure is the mother of success. C. Those who help others help themselves. D. Small acts make a big difference. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Anderson和他的科学老师Martin一起用3D打印机打印假肢帮助残疾人的善行。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“So Anderson talked to his science teacher, Dr. Holly Martin. He asked if they could build a prosthetic together.(Anderson和他的科学老师Holly Martin博士谈了谈。他问他们是否可以一起做一个假体)”可知，Anderson想和科学老师一起做假肢。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“His name is Cornel Crismaru, who lost his leg, hand and part of his arm. (他的名字是Cornel Crismaru，他失去了他的腿，手和部分手臂)”可知，Crismaru身体残缺。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Soon Anderson had an idea to solve this problem. He reached out to a 3-D printing company in Woodstock, Georgia. The company agreed to help.(很快，Anderson想到了一个解决这个问题的办法。他联系了乔治亚州伍德斯托克的一家3D打印公司。该公司同意提供帮助) ”可知，Anderson找到一家3D打印公司解决问题。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了Anderson和他的科学老师Martin一起用3D打印机打印假肢帮助残疾人的善行，结合最后一段“Martin said she hopes children and grown-ups who hear about Andersons projects will realize that it may be hard to change the world, but they can start with small acts. Some of these can help a person in a huge way. (Martin说，她希望听到Anderson计划的孩子和成年人能意识到，改变世界可能很难，但他们可以从小事做起。一些小事也可以给个人带来巨大的影响)”可推知，小小善行也能带来巨大的影响(make a big difference) 。故选D项。 C A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, show customers around a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears touched. Making its first appearance at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters. It has four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human workmates, BellaBot miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen, which displays(展示)animations of a cat’s face. “The owner’s hand is so warm, ”BellaBot has been programmed to respond. However, much like a real cat, the robot’s reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long. “It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job, ”the designers introduced. In a real-world food-service setting, however, BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at the busiest times. Anyway, restaurants are expected to increase their relying on automatons(小型机器人)—whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or not. Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and dealing with new activities. 8. BellaBot was built to . A. improve restaurants’ environment B. overcome the lack of waiters C. change food service styles D. attract young customers 9. We know from Paragraph 3 that BellaBot can . A. play programs B. load itself with meals C. respond to customers’ thanks D. make friends with customers 10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word ”petted“ in Paragraph 5? A. Touched. B. Lifted C. Attacked. D. Used. 11. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future consumer robot designs? A. Doulbtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring. D. Cautious. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了深圳科技公司推出的拥有猫咪外形的餐饮机器人。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters.”（所谓的BellaBot是为缺乏足够服务员的中餐馆设计的。）可知，BellaBot是为缺乏足够服务员的中餐馆设计的。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen, which displays(展示)animations of a cat’s face.”（如果顾客通过触摸BellaBot的耳朵来感谢它，BellaBot就会在屏幕上以高兴的表情回应，屏幕上还会显示猫脸的动画。）可知，BellaBot会通过在屏幕上用高兴的表情回应顾客的感谢，故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。结合第三段中“If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen, which displays(展示)animations of a cat’s face.”（如果顾客通过触摸BellaBot的耳朵来感谢它，BellaBot就会在屏幕上以高兴的表情回应，屏幕上还会显示猫脸的动画。）可知，当顾客触摸BellaBot的耳朵时，BellaBot就会在屏幕上用表情回应；划线词所在句“However, much like a real cat, the robot’s reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long.”（然而，就像一只真正的猫一样，如果被petted太久，机器人的反应很快就会改变。）可知，划线词此处的与touch同义，含义为“触摸”，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and dealing with new activities.”（此外，技术的进步将使消费类机器人在与人类交流和处理新活动方面稳步发展。）可知，机器人服务员的技术改进会稳步提高，尤其是在跟人类交流和处理新活动方面会更好。可推断作者对社区机器人的设计持乐观态度。故选B。 D An online research showed that people believed having the choice to jump through parts of a video or switch (转换) to a different one could make watching videos less boring — the exact reason why people use TikTok or YouTube. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or jumping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr. Kate Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead author of the research, explained that boredom (无聊) is closely connected to our ability to pay attention. “We feel bored when there is a gap between how focused we are and how focused we want to be,” she said. When people keep moving quickly through videos, they become less focused with the videos and start looking for something more exciting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom. To test this idea, the researchers did an experiment which involved over 500 undergraduates. One group watched a single 10-minute video without the choice of switching, while the other group have the choice to click (点击) between several five-minute videos. The results showed that those who could choose between videos felt more bored. “Our research shows that while people switch videos fast to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” Dr. Tam concluded. She compared the experience to watching a movie in a cinema, where immersion leads to enjoyment. Similarly, true enjoyment from online videos often comes from focusing ourselves in the videos, not from endlessly moving quickly through it. This finding suggests that, sometimes, having fewer choices might actually be better for our focus and enjoyment. 12. Why does the author mention the online research in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the new finding. B. To support an old idea. C. To show the author’s opinion. D. To give an interesting example. 13. In Dr. Tam’s experiment, how did the researchers test their idea? A. By recording the length of different videos. B. By asking people about their favorite videos. C. By checking how long people could focus on a video. D. By comparing groups with and without the choice to switch. 14. What does the underlined word “immersion” in the last paragraph mean? A. Full attention. B. Great pleasure. C. Short memory. D. Quick response. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Watching videos on TikTok or YouTube brings fun. B. Boredom mainly results from focusing on long videos. C. Switching videos increases rather than reduces boredom. D. Watching videos in cinemas is more enjoyable than watching online. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了一项研究发现频繁切换视频反而会增加人们的无聊感。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“An online research showed that people believed having the choice to jump through parts of a video or switch (转换) to a different one could make watching videos less boring — the exact reason why people use TikTok or YouTube. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or jumping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored.(一项在线调查显示，人们认为，可以选择跳过视频的某些部分或切换到另一个视频，可以让看视频不那么无聊——这正是人们使用抖音或YouTube的原因。但研究人员发现，切换到另一个视频，或在同一个视频中前后跳转，实际上会让人更无聊)”结合下文介绍通过研究发现频繁切换视频反而会增加人们的无聊感可知，作者在第一段提到在线调查是为了引出新的研究发现。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To test this idea, the researchers did an experiment which involved over 500 undergraduates. One group watched a single 10-minute video without the choice of switching, while the other group have the choice to click (点击) between several five-minute videos. The results showed that those who could choose between videos felt more bored.(为了验证这一想法，研究人员进行了一项实验，涉及500多名本科生。一组观看一个10分钟的视频，不能选择切换，而另一组可以选择在几个5分钟的视频之间点击。结果表明，那些能够在各类视频之间做出选择的人感到更加无聊。)”可知，在谭博士的实验中，研究人员通过比较有选择切换和无选择切换的两组来验证他们的想法。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段画线词所在句子“She compared the experience to watching a movie in a cinema, where immersion leads to enjoyment.(她将这种体验比作在电影院看电影，在那里immersion会带来乐趣)”以及后文“Similarly, true enjoyment from online videos often comes from focusing ourselves in the videos, not from endlessly moving quickly through it.(同样，在线视频的真正乐趣往往来自于专注于视频本身，而不是无休止地快速浏览)”可知，谭博士将这种体验比作在电影院看电影，在电影院看电影，沉浸其中会带来乐趣，故画线词意思是“全神贯注”。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But researchers have found that switching to another video, or jumping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored.(但研究人员发现，切换到另一个视频，或在同一个视频中前后跳转，实际上会让人更无聊)”结合文章主要说明了一项研究发现频繁切换视频反而会增加人们的无聊感。可知，这篇文章的主旨是切换视频会增加而不是减少无聊感。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。有两项为多余选项。 Ever felt like you’ve got tons of things to finish but just not enough hours in the day? If so, you’re facing efficiency issues. But there’s no need to worry — this is a common problem for many people. ____16____ Here are some tips to help you solve these problems and take full control of your time and work! Concentrate on a single task. Sometimes people get used to doing several things at once. Although this may let you deal with different jobs and seem capable, it won’t improve your efficiency in the long term. Concentrate on a single task at a time. This way, you can finish it with high quality. ____17____ ____18____ You can be given large and tough tasks in your work. To work more efficiently, you can divide any big assignment into small, easy-to-handle parts. Just like piling up building blocks together, step by step. Focus on one small task each time, and the final result will surely be excellent. Set your own deadlines. Deadlines can sometimes bring pressure. ____19____ When you set a deadline for open-ended tasks or projects, you can perform much better. Keep to it, and you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve. Use your travel time wisely. What do you usually do on your way to work or school? Check social media updates? To make better use of time, direct your attention to your own plans. Think of ideas that can make your work simpler. ____20____ A. Learn to take a break. B. Set small and practical goals. C. This is the best moment to think and generate ideas. D. What counts now is how you deal with such situations. E. After finishing the current task, you can start the next one. F. With useful methods, you will break down your goals at ease. G. Pressure is usually negative, but self-imposed pressure can help you focus. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文针对效率低下问题，给出专注单任务、拆分大目标、自设截止日期、善用出行时间等方法，帮助人们合理掌控时间。 【16题详解】 由上文“Ever felt like you’ve got tons of things to finish but just not enough hours in the day? If so, you’re facing efficiency issues. But there’s no need to worry — this is a common problem for many people.(你是否曾觉得有一大堆事情要完成，可一天的时间却总是不够用？如果是这样，那你就面临效率问题了。不过不必担心——这对很多人来说都是很常见的问题。)”可知，空格处需引出如何应对该问题。D项“What counts now is how you deal with such situations.(现在重要的是你如何应对这类情况。)”中such situations指代上文的效率问题，此选项起到承上启下作用，引出下文“Here are some tips to help you solve these problems and take full control of your time and work!(这里有一些建议可以帮助你解决这些问题，并完全控制你的时间和工作！)”。故选D项。 【17题详解】 由上文“Concentrate on a single task at a time. This way, you can finish it with high quality.(一次专注一项任务，这样你能高质量完成它。)”可知，空格处需说明完成后的下一步。E项“After finishing the current task, you can start the next one.(完成当前任务后，你可以开始下一项。)”符合语境，该句承接上文内容，有承上作用。故选E项。 【18题详解】 此处为段落小标题；由下文“To work more efficiently, you can divide any big assignment into small, easy-to-handle parts.(为了更高效工作，你可以把大任务分成易处理的小部分。)”可知，本段内容指出要将大而艰巨的任务拆分成容易处理的小部分，B项“Set small and practical goals.(设定小而实际的目标。)”精准概括本段主旨，适合作为小标题。故选B项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Deadlines can sometimes bring pressure.(截止日期有时会带来压力。)”以及下文“When you set a deadline for open-ended tasks or projects, you can perform much better.(当你为没有明确期限的任务或项目设定一个截止日期时，你的表现会好得多。)”可知，空格处需说明自我设定压力的积极作用。G项“Pressure is usually negative, but self-imposed pressure can help you focus.(压力通常是消极的，但自我施加的压力能帮你集中注意力。)”承上启下，符合语境，其中“Pressure”与上文对应，该句对前文进行转折延伸。故选G项。 【20题详解】 由小标题“Use your travel time wisely.(明智地利用你的旅行时间。)”可知，本段主题是合理利用出行时间；上文“What do you usually do on your way to work or school? Check social media updates? To make better use of time, direct your attention to your own plans. Think of ideas that can make your work simpler. (你在上班或上学的路上通常会做些什么？刷社交媒体动态吗？想要更好地利用时间，就要把注意力放在自己的计划上，想一想能让工作更简便的方法。)”提到通勤时可以思考简化工作的创意，C项“This is the best moment to think and generate ideas.(这是思考和产生想法的最佳时刻。)”呼应前文，总结出行时间的价值，符合语境，其中this指代上文的出行时间。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Everyone has a different path through education.

She couldn’t understand why her parents were so unreasonable. She was almost15, after all, and her friends were allowed to stay out later. Why couldn’t her parents trust her? As she lay there, her anger slowly gave way to calm. At that time, Emily’s phone buzzed. It was a message from her mother, asking if she would go downstairs to have dinner. Buzzing again!It was a message from Dad, which read, “Emily, we love you very much, and we only want what’s best for you.

One day, he saw a magazine article that interested him. It was about prosthetics(假肢), which can be used to replace a hand, arm or leg. The article said people are using 3-D printers to build these devices. Anderson thought this was very cool. He wanted to learn more about it. So Anderson talked to his science teacher, Dr. Holly Martin. He asked if they could build a prosthetic together. The timing(时机的把握) was perfect. Martin had just heard about a group called Enabling the Future. This group asks volunteers to help to build robotic arms and legs. The volunteers build them for people who share their stories on the website. Anderson and Martin looked through the website together. They decided to help a man from the country of Romania. His name is Cornel Crismaru, who lost his leg, hand and part of his arm. In February, Anderson and Martin got to work. Building the robotic arm was not easy. Anderson ran into some problems along the way. He had hoped to use a 3-D Printer at his school. One of the pieces for the arm was bigger than the size of the printer, though. Soon Anderson had an idea to solve this problem. He reached out to a 3-D printing company in Woodstock, Georgia. The company agreed to help. Anderson and Martin could use their big 3-D printers. After that, Anderson worked on the arm for about three months. Anderson and Martin sent the arm to Crismaru in May. In August, they received a notice. It is from Crismaru’s son. He thanked Anderson and Martin for their help. Martin said she hopes children and grown-ups who hear about Andersons projects will realize that it may be hard to change the world, but they can start with small acts. Some of these can help a person in a huge way. 4. Anderson talked to his science teacher about_______. A. starting a website together B. buying a 3-D printer C. building a prosthetic together D. studying robots 5. Anderson and Dr. Martin learned from the website that Crismaru______. A. lost some body parts B. wanted to be a volunteer C. was homeless D. was interested in robots 6. How did Anderson solve his problem? A. He made a new 3-D printer. B. Hе took Dr.Martin’s advice. C. He worked together with his school. D. He got help from a 3-D printing company. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. All roads lead to Rome. B. Failure is the mother of success. C. Those who help others help themselves. D. Small acts make a big difference. C A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, show customers around a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears touched. Making its first appearance at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters. It has four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human workmates, BellaBot miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by touching its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its screen, which displays(展示)animations of a cat’s face. “The owner’s hand is so warm, ”BellaBot has been programmed to respond. However, much like a real cat, the robot’s reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long. “It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job, ”the designers introduced. In a real-world food-service setting, however, BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at the busiest times. Anyway, restaurants are expected to increase their relying on automatons(小型机器人)—whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or not. Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and dealing with new activities. 8. BellaBot was built to . A. improve restaurants’ environment B. overcome the lack of waiters C. change food service styles D. attract young customers 9. We know from Paragraph 3 that BellaBot can . A. play programs B. load itself with meals C. respond to customers’ thanks D. make friends with customers 10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word ”petted“ in Paragraph 5? A. Touched. B. Lifted C. Attacked. D. Used. 11. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future consumer robot designs? A. Doulbtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncaring. D. Cautious. D An online research showed that people believed having the choice to jump through parts of a video or switch (转换) to a different one could make watching videos less boring — the exact reason why people use TikTok or YouTube. But researchers have found that switching to another video, or jumping forwards and backwards in the same one, actually makes people more bored. Dr. Kate Tam at the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead author of the research, explained that boredom (无聊) is closely connected to our ability to pay attention. “We feel bored when there is a gap between how focused we are and how focused we want to be,” she said. When people keep moving quickly through videos, they become less focused with the videos and start looking for something more exciting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom. To test this idea, the researchers did an experiment which involved over 500 undergraduates. One group watched a single 10-minute video without the choice of switching, while the other group have the choice to click (点击) between several five-minute videos. The results showed that those who could choose between videos felt more bored. “Our research shows that while people switch videos fast to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” Dr. Tam concluded. She compared the experience to watching a movie in a cinema, where immersion leads to enjoyment. Similarly, true enjoyment from online videos often comes from focusing ourselves in the videos, not from endlessly moving quickly through it. This finding suggests that, sometimes, having fewer choices might actually be better for our focus and enjoyment. 12. Why does the author mention the online research in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the new finding. B. To support an old idea. C. To show the author’s opinion. D. To give an interesting example. 13. In Dr. Tam’s experiment, how did the researchers test their idea? A. By recording the length of different videos. B. By asking people about their favorite videos. C. By checking how long people could focus on a video. D. By comparing groups with and without the choice to switch. 14. What does the underlined word “immersion” in the last paragraph mean? A. Full attention. B. Great pleasure. C. Short memory. D. Quick response. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Watching videos on TikTok or YouTube brings fun. B. Boredom mainly results from focusing on long videos. C. Switching videos increases rather than reduces boredom. D. Watching videos in cinemas is more enjoyable than watching online. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。有两项为多余选项。 Ever felt like you’ve got tons of things to finish but just not enough hours in the day?

However, as the pressure of schoolwork increased and her social life expanded, she found their family relationship on the rocks. She disliked it when her parents kept asking such questions as “Where are you going”, “Who are you going with”. She felt they were always on her back about something. She just couldn’t see eye to eye with them on so many things! The once harmonious home environment was now filled with heated arguments and cold silences. Emily felt her parents didn’t understand her, and they felt she was becoming distant and impatient. It seemed that they were becoming strangers under the same roof! One afternoon, after a particularly heated argument about her curfew (宵禁令), Emily stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her. She threw herself onto her bed, tears streaming down her face. She couldn’t understand why her parents were so unreasonable. She was almost15, after all, and her friends were allowed to stay out later. Why couldn’t her parents trust her? As she lay there, her anger slowly gave way to calm. At that time, Emily’s phone buzzed. It was a message from her mother, asking if she would go downstairs to have dinner. Buzzing again!It was a message from Dad, which read, “Emily, we love you very much, and we only want what’s best for you. We know you’ re growing up, and we want to respect your independence, but we also need to know you’ re safe.” Emily hesitated but decided it was time to clear the air. When she entered the dining room,she found her parents sitting at the table, looking as upset as she felt. Dinner had been served on the table, with a bowl of chocolate cake, her favorite, specially placed in front of her. Emily felt a wave of warmth flooding over her. 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。 She realized that her parents were trying, and she should also make some efforts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few weeks, Emily noticed things changed amazingly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
