A. on B. at C. in 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：第九届亚洲冬季运动会将于2025年2月在哈尔滨举行。 on用于具体某一天；at用于具体时刻；in用于年、月、季节等。根据“February 2025”可知，此处指的是月份，应用介词in。 22. —Congratulations! Your team won the game. —Thanks! We ________ lost it, but we tried our best until the end. A. wisely B. hardly C. nearly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——祝贺！你们队赢了比赛。——谢谢！我们差点输了，但我们尽力直到最后。 wisely明智地；hardly几乎不；nearly几乎，差点。根据“Your team won the game”可知赢得了比赛，所以是差点输了，用nearly。 23. — Is this book Linda's? — It ________ be hers.

But do you know they can teach us? Geese, for example, teach a very good lesson about ____26____. In fall, Canada geese fly to the warm south to ____27____ Canada’s cold winter. They lift off in no order. Yet ____28____ they form (形成) a V shape, with one bird leading the group. This V shape allows geese to ____29____ energy. When the front bird moves its wings up and down, the resulting force of the air lifts the next one. This continues down the line. The bird ____30____ has the hardest job. When it gets ____31____, it moves behind, and another bird moves into the lead. By sharing the role, the group can travel great distances (距离). Geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther without ____32____ than birds flying alone. During the long flying journey, geese communicate with one another. They honk (鸣叫) to ____33____ the birds up front to keep up the speed. They also cheer each other up ____34____ working toward a common goal. What have we learned from the geese’s experience and skills? ____35____ together! Whether it is our personal lives or our jobs, we need other people. We need the spirit of teamwork. 26.

Relax 【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 29. A 30. A 31. B 32. A 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了大雁通过团队协作飞V字形以节省体力、互相鼓励的故事，告诉我们团队合作的重要性。 【26题详解】 句意：大雁教给我们一个关于团队合作的很好的课程。 下文多次出现“the spirit of teamwork”，且全文围绕大雁的协作飞行展开，teamwork“团队合作”符合语境，experience“经验”、success“成功”不符。 【27题详解】 句意：秋天，加拿大大雁飞向温暖的南方以逃离加拿大的寒冬。 “fly to the warm south”表明是为了离开寒冷的北方，get away from“逃离、离开”符合语境，look for“寻找”、wait for“等待”语义不通。 【28题详解】 句意：然而它们很快就形成了V字形。 上文提到“它们起飞时毫无秩序”，Yet表示转折，说明很快就形成了有序的V字队形，quickly“很快地”符合语境，busily“忙碌地”、bravely“勇敢地”不符。 【29题详解】 句意：这种V字形使大雁能够节省体力。 下文“geese flying in a V shape can fly 70 percent farther”表明V字形能飞得更远，说明是节省了体力，save“节省”符合语境，waste“浪费”、create“创造”语义相反。 【30题详解】 句意：最前面的那只鸟工作最辛苦。 上文“with one bird leading the group”和“the front bird moves its wings”表明领头鸟最累，in front“在前面的”符合语境，at the back“在后面的”、in the middle“在中间的”不符。 【31题详解】 句意：当它变累了，它就移到后面。 “it moves behind, and another bird moves into the lead”说明是因为累了才换位置，tired“累的”符合语境，bored“无聊的”、hungry“饿的”不符。 【32题详解】 句意：飞V字形的大雁比单独飞行的大雁在不休息的情况下能多飞70%的距离。 “fly 70 percent farther without ____”与“share the role”相呼应，说明不需要休息就能飞更远，rest“休息”符合语境，wind“风”、excuse“借口”语义不通。 【33题详解】 句意：它们鸣叫来鼓励前面的鸟保持速度。 下文“They also cheer each other up”与本句并列，cheer up即“鼓励”，encourage“鼓励”符合语境，lead“带领”、lift“抬起”不符。 【34题详解】 句意：它们在朝着共同目标努力的同时也互相鼓励。 “working toward a common goal”是一个持续进行的动作，while“在……的同时”表示两个动作同时发生，符合语境，until“直到”、after“在……之后”不符。 【35题详解】 句意：一起工作！ 下文“we need the spirit of teamwork”和“we need other people”直接点明主题，Work“工作”符合语境，Play“玩”、Relax“放松”不符。 IV.阅读理解(共四节，35小题；满分65分) 第一节阅读下面A 、B 、C 、D四篇短文，根据短文内容，从题中所给的 A 、B 、C 、D四个选项 中，选出最佳答案。(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) A Long ago, there was no clock.

Step 2 Write down the numbers in the circle so that it looks like a clock. Then color the sundial with the crayons. Step 3 When it’s sunny, take the sundial outside and put it on the ground. Use the rocks to hold it down and stop the wind from blowing it away. Step 4 Stick the straw into the center so that it goes into the ground. Step 5 Use a clock to see what time it is. Turn the sundial so that the shadow (影子) of the straw shows the right hour on the sundial. Step 6 Watch how the shadow moves like the hands on a clock. Do you know why the shadow moves? 36. What is a sundial used for? A. Having fun. B. Painting pictures. C. Watching the sun. D. Telling the time. 37. How many kinds of materials are needed to make a sundial? A. 5. B. 6. C. 7. D. 8. 38.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了日晷的用途，以及制作简易日晷所需的材料和步骤，解释了日晷利用阳光投射影子来计时的原理。 【36题详解】 根据原文第一段“It can tell the time like a clock.”可知，日晷的用途是计时。 【37题详解】 文中列出的材料为：a piece of paper、scissors、4 rocks、a straw、a clock、crayons，共6种。 【38题详解】 根据原文Step 3“Use the rocks to hold it down and stop the wind from blowing it away.”可知，石头的作用是防止日晷被风吹走。 【39题详解】 根据原文Step 6“Watch how the shadow moves like the hands on a clock.”可知，日晷上像钟表指针一样移动的是影子。 【40题详解】 日晷通过阳光照射形成的影子来计时，因此其工作原理依赖于阳光。 B The Kite Runner, a book by Khaled Hosseini, is very popular in Afghanistan (阿富汗). It’s about two boys, Amir and Hassan, who are best friends. Amir is from a rich family, and Hassan is the son of the family’s servant. They love flying kites and competing with other kids. One day, during a kite competition, Hassan gets bullied (霸凌) by some bad boys while trying to help Amir. Amir sees this but is too scared to help. This makes Amir feel very guilty (内疚的). Over time, the relationship between Amir and Hassan becomes worse and worse, which causes Hassan to leave Amir’s home. When a war starts in Afghanistan, Amir is able to leave the country, but Hassan and his family have to stay. Amir feels bad for not helping Hassan and feels guilty about it for a long time. Later, Amir finds out that Hassan, who died in the war, was actually his half-brother. Amir decides to go back to Afghanistan to find Hassan’s son, Sohrab, who is in danger. Amir risks his life to save Sohrab and brings him to the United States, where he takes care of him. Amir does this to make up for (弥补) not helping Hassan in the past. The kite in the story stands for many things, like overcoming fear, making up for mistakes, and trying hard. At the same time, it gives us the strength (力量) to face our past and do what we should do, and to understand the importance of life. 41. What do we know about Amir and Hassan in Paragraph 1? A. They share a common interest. B. They fight against each other. C. Amir is Hassan’s servant. D. Hassan is Amir’s son. 42. What does the underlined word “This” refer to? A. Amir not getting hurt. B. Hassan bullying bad guys. C. Amir not helping Hassan. D. Hassan leaving Amir’s house. 43. What changes happen to Amir after Hassan dies? A. He becomes perfect. B. He becomes brave. C. He becomes more worried. D. He becomes more scared. 44. What does Amir do to make up for his past actions? A. He takes Sohrab to overcome fear. B. He saves and looks after Sohrab. C. He helps Sohrab win the competition. D. He sends Sohrab back to Afghanistan. 45. What’s the main purpose of this text? A. To share personal good thoughts. B. To call on readers never to give up. C. To encourage people to write stories. D. To introduce the book “The Kite Runner”. 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. B 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了小说《追风筝的人》的主要情节、人物关系以及风筝在书中的象征意义。 【41题详解】 文章第一段最后一句“They love flying kites and competing with other kids.”指出，阿米尔和哈桑都喜欢放风筝和与其他孩子比赛。因此他们有着共同的爱好。 【42题详解】 文章第二段第二、三句“Amir sees this but is too scared to help. This makes Amir feel very guilty.”指出，“This”指代前一句阿米尔看到哈桑被欺负却因害怕而没有施救这件事。 【43题详解】 文章第三段最后两句“Amir risks his life to save Sohrab and brings him to the United States...Amir does this to make up for not helping Hassan in the past.”指出，阿米尔冒着生命危险救出索拉博并照顾他，以此来弥补过去的错误。这体现了他的勇敢。 【44题详解】 文章第三段最后两句“Amir risks his life to save Sohrab and brings him to the United States, where he takes care of him.”指出，阿米尔为了弥补过去，救出索拉博并照顾他。 【45题详解】 全文从第一段介绍人物关系，第二段讲述风筝比赛和哈桑被欺负，第三段讲述阿米尔后来的弥补行为，最后一段总结风筝的象征意义。因此文章的主要目的是介绍《追风筝的人》这本书。 C Have you ever felt like you’re not sure how you’re feeling? Or maybe you’ve tried to tell someone your feelings, but they are hard to put into words? Well, there’s an app for that! Feel Now is a free app that you can use on your mobile phone. It helps teenagers think about and understand their feelings. It was designed by two 17-year-olds, Taara Verma and Siena Pradhan, from the US. Each day, Feel Now sends a reminder to users to record a feeling. The users pick one from six feelings: happy, peaceful, angry, sad, disgusted (厌恶的) and scared. Then the app breaks down each one into 10 more feelings. For example, “scared” can be broken down into “worried” and nine other feelings. You can also describe how strongly you’re feeling “slightly (轻微地)”, “moderately (一般地)” or “highly”. Vibha Kurdikar is a doctor. She said teenagers are often not aware of their feelings. Kids nowadays are under a lot of stress,” Kurdikar said. “But sometimes they don’t realize something is stressful until it’s too late.” Feel Now helps them notice how they are feeling. Aditi Jha, 14, has been using Feel Now for months. When she stops to examine her feelings, she sometimes notices a feeling she didn’t know about. She might realize that she’s worrying about a test. And then she can do something to make herself feel better. Feel Now could be more useful if it works with apps that record exercise or sleep. But Taara and Siena think that just recognizing (辨别出) and recording one’s feelings is valuable on its own. “The simpler it is, I think, the more people will use it,” Taara said. 46. What do we know about Feel Now from Paragraph 2? ①It is a free app ②It was designed by teenagers ③It can be used on mobile phones. ④It can help teenagers make friends. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④ 47. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How Feel Now works. B. Why Feel Now is important. C. Where Feel Now can be found. D. What the purpose of Feel Now is. 48. What does the underlined part “aware of” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. 倾诉 B. 释放 C. 意识到 D. 担心 49. What might Aditi Jha think of Feel Now? A. Popular. B. Useful. C. Expensive. D. Common 50. What do Taara and Siena believe about Feel Now? A. It should look prettier. B. It should have a higher value. C. It should work with other apps. D. It should be simple and easy to use. 【答案】46. A 47. A 48. C 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款名为Feel Now的免费手机应用，该应用由两名美国青少年设计，帮助青少年识别和理解情绪。 【46题详解】 第二段指出“Feel Now is a free app that you can use on your mobile phone. It helps teenagers think about and understand their feelings. It was designed by two 17-year-olds”，因此①②③正确，④文中未提及。 【47题详解】 第三段介绍了Feel Now每天发送提醒、用户从六种情绪中选择、应用将情绪细分为更多种感受以及用户可选择感受强度，由此可知本段主要描述Feel Now的工作原理。 【48题详解】 第四段指出“teenagers are often not aware of their feelings”，且后文提到“they don’t realize something is stressful”，结合上下文，“aware of”意为“意识到”。 【49题详解】 第五段指出“Aditi Jha...has been using Feel Now for months...she sometimes notices a feeling she didn’t know about...And then she can do something to make herself feel better”，由此可知她对Feel Now的评价是“有用的”。 【50题详解】 最后一段Taara说“The simpler it is, I think, the more people will use it”，因此他们认为Feel Now应该简单易用。 D When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest. “But now, it’s different,” says Nejat. “People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready.” Nejat’s robots are designed to meet an increasing need—caregiving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be more than 426 million in 2050, about three times larger than that now. Such robots could be especially useful to patients with Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to telling the patients to take their medicine on time. They can also play games with patients to keep them active. Some have worried that care-giving robots might reduce human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. “But the purpose is to support human care, not to take the place of it,” says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder (自闭症谱系障碍) improve social skills. As a field grows, scientists try to understand human-robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages (优点) because they don’t have feelings and don’t give opinions? Will patients lose interest? “One thing is clear,” Scassellati says. “Robots can give care to the customers and the need for that will increase in the future.” 51. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. using sayings B. showing some facts C. raising a question D. providing some suggestions 52. Nejat’s robots are designed to________. A. treat patients B. make phone calls C. take care of the old D. knock on doors 53. Paragraph3 mainly talks about ________. A. what the robots can do B. a test on the old people C. serious problems the robots may cause D. old people’s opinions on the robots 54. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Scientists aren’t trying to understand human-robot relationships. B. The need for taking care of the children is increasing these years. C. Such robots can help autistic children improve their social skills. D. Many people called to order the robots when they were first made. 55. From Scassellati’s words, we can infer (推断) that Nejat’s robots ________ A. will have feelings soon B. will get more popular C. can take the place of humans D. can give their own opinions 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. C 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Nejat研发的护理机器人，为应对老龄化需求设计，能辅助照顾老人，虽有争议但未来需求将持续增长。 【51题详解】 第一段指出“When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest. ‘But now, it's different,’ says Nejat. ‘People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready.’”，可推知作者通过陈述Nejat研发机器人的经历和现状等事实开篇。 【52题详解】 第一段指出“Nejat’s robots are designed to meet an increasing need--care-giving for the old.”，直接表明机器人的设计目的是照顾老人。 【53题详解】 第三段提到“Some have worried that... ‘But the purpose is to support human care, not to take the place of it,’ says Brian Scassellati... He has tested robots... found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder improve social skills.” ，表明该段核心围绕“机器人的设计目的是辅助护理” 展开，回应了人们的担忧并给出依据。 【54题详解】 第三段指出“He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder improve social skills.”，表明机器人能帮助自闭症儿童提高社交技能。 【55题详解】 最后一段提到“Scassellati says. ‘Robots can give care to the customers and the need for that will increase in the future.’”，可推知未来护理机器人的需求会增长，会更受欢迎。 第二节 E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Silk, the word itself is beautiful. The story of silk started in China over 4,000 years ago. It is said that a silkworm’s cocoon (蚕茧) fell into a woman’s teacup. It then opened into a single, unbroken thread (线). ____56____ The Chinese learned they could use the cocoons to make cloth that was both beautiful to look at and soft to touch. ____57____ In other countries, silk was valuable and not often seen. Often it was worth more than gold. It’s said that the secret finally got out when a princess left China to go to India. In her hair, she secretly carried many silkworms. By the year 1 AD., silk was sold as far west as Rome, and all along the Silk Road. ____58____ Centuries later, in 1522, the Spanish brought silkworms to Mexico. Nowadays people around the world still make many beautiful things from silk. Silk isn’t only beautiful. It seems that it’s easy to break. ____59____ For example, it has been used to make bicycle tires (轮胎). And some doctors even use silk threads in the hospital. ____60____ This makes it great for clothes like winter jackets, pants, and shoes. All of this from a little insect—the silkworm. That is the miracle (奇迹) of silk. A. Actually, it’s very strong. B. Silk is also light and warm. C. This was an important discovery. D. Making silk was a protected secret in China for many years. E. Around the year 300, silk also traveled from China to Japan. 【答案】56. C 57. D 58. E 59. A 60. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了丝绸的起源、传播历史以及丝绸不为人知的实用特性，展现了丝绸从蚕茧到奇迹的全过程。 【56题详解】 第二段提到蚕茧落入茶杯后展开成一根完整的线，紧接着说“The Chinese learned they could use the cocoons to make cloth...”，选项C“This was an important discovery.”能够承接上文对这一发现的描述，自然过渡到“中国人学会了用蚕茧织布”的结论。 【57题详解】 第三段提到“In other countries, silk was valuable and not often seen. Often it was worth more than gold.”，说明丝绸在国外极为珍贵，选项D“making silk was a protected secret in China for many years.”能够解释为什么国外少见且昂贵——因为制丝技术长期被中国保密，与后文公主偷偷带走蚕种的故事形成逻辑衔接。 【58题详解】 第四段提到“By the year 1 AD., silk was sold as far west as Rome, and all along the Silk Road.”，后文提到“Centuries later, in 1522, the Spanish brought silkworms to Mexico.”，选项E“Around the year 300, silk also traveled from China to Japan.”按时间线补充了丝绸向东传播的路径，使段落时间线完整连贯。 【59题详解】 第四段提到“It seems that it’s easy to break”，紧接着后文举例“it has been used to make bicycle tires”，选项A“Actually, it’s very strong.”与前文“看似易断”形成转折对比，再用轮胎的例子印证其强度，逻辑通顺。 【60题详解】 第五段提到“This makes it great for clothes like winter jackets, pants, and shoes.”，选项B“Silk is also light and warm.”中的“light and warm”正好是冬季衣物所需的特性，与后文举例完美呼应。 第三节 阅读下面情景对话，从所给的七个选项中选出能填入对话空白处的正确选项，使对话通 顺、连贯，意思完整。 A: Hi, Tom. ____61____ B: I’m reading a book about different inventions.

By the way, do you know who invented the telephone? B: Yes, it was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. ____64____ A: I’m not sure. Maybe the light bulb is the most useful. It has changed our life a lot. B: I agree. The light bulb makes it possible for us to work and study at night. A: It’s amazing how these inventions have shaped our lives. ____65____ B: We should learn from these great inventors and try to create something useful. A. Which do you think is the most useful one? B. When was the telephone invented? C. What do you think we should do after that? D. Which invention do you think is important? E. Because it allows people to talk to each other from far away. F. What are you doing? G. Do you like reading books about inventions? 【答案】61. F 62. D 63. E 64. A 65. C 【解析】 【导语】h do you think 本文主要讲述了A和B关于发明的对话。 【61题详解】 A需要询问B在做什么，才能引出B关于正在读一本关于发明的书的回答。F项“What are you doing?”用于询问对方正在进行的活动，与下文B的回答直接对应。 【62题详解】 B说在读关于发明的书，A需要询问B认为哪项发明很重要，才能引出B关于电话的回答。D项“Which invention do you think is important?”用于询问对方认为重要的发明，与下文B的回答直接对应。 【63题详解】 B认为电话重要，A询问原因，B需要说明电话让人们可以与远方的人交谈，使沟通更容易。E项“Because it allows people to talk to each other from far away.”解释了电话重要的原因，与下文B的补充说明衔接自然。 【64题详解】 B知道电话的发明者，需要反问A认为什么发明最有用，才能引出A关于灯泡的回答。A项“Which do you think is the most useful one?”用于询问对方认为最有用的发明，与下文A的回答直接对应。 【65题详解】 A感叹发明塑造了我们的生活，需要询问B认为之后应该怎么做，才能引出B关于向发明家学习并尝试创造有用东西的回答。C项“What do you think we should do after that?”用于询问后续行动，与下文B的回答直接对应。 第二部分(非选择题) 第四节 任务型阅读，阅读下面的材料，根据材料内容回答问题。 The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft (手工艺品). It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the art. 66. How many Asian countries were Chinese oil paper umbrellas introduced to? ___________________________________________________ 67.

How long does it take to make an oil paper umbrella? ___________________________________________________ 69.

Five./5. 67. Yuhang (in Hangzhou). 68. At least a week. 69. Because he wanted to bring the art to life. 70. I think he is creative. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统手工艺品——油纸伞的历史、制作工艺以及传承人刘伟学对这门传统技艺的创新与推广。 【66题详解】 第一段指出油纸伞先传入日本和韩国（2个），后又传入越南、泰国和老挝（3个），共5个亚洲国家，因此答案是Five/5。 【67题详解】 第二段开头明确指出“Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years”，因此答案是Yuhang (in Hangzhou)，这是原文直接信息。 【68题详解】 第二段末尾指出“It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella”，答案即原文原句提取。 【69题详解】 第三段提到刘伟学从祖父处学到这门手艺，并说“I want to bring the art to life”，这就是他学习这门传统艺术的原因，属于原文直接引语。 【70题详解】 开放题，答案不唯一。结合文中刘伟学改进伞面用纸、减轻伞重、走进学校和各地活动推广等行为，可评价他有创意、有传承精神、有责任感等，言之有理即可。 V. 看图写话 71. famous, China ___________________________________________________ 72. invent, 1876 ___________________________________________________ 73. allow ___________________________________________________ 74. must, belong ___________________________________________________ 75. make, Fujian ___________________________________________________ 【答案】71.

I would like to talk about the mobile phone. It was invented by Martin Cooper in America in 1973. Jason thinks it’s very useful in daily life, while Anna feels upset because her mom stops her from using it too much, worrying that it may affect her study. In my opinion, the mobile phone is a helpful tool, but we should use it wisely. We can use it to learn, search for information, and keep in touch with friends. However, spending too much time on it is bad for our eyes and study. So I believe teenagers should set time limits and avoid using it during study hours. Let’s make good use of this great invention.

It’s about two boys, Amir and Hassan, who are best friends. Amir is from a rich family, and Hassan is the son of the family’s servant. They love flying kites and competing with other kids. One day, during a kite competition, Hassan gets bullied (霸凌) by some bad boys while trying to help Amir. Amir sees this but is too scared to help. This makes Amir feel very guilty (内疚的). Over time, the relationship between Amir and Hassan becomes worse and worse, which causes Hassan to leave Amir’s home. When a war starts in Afghanistan, Amir is able to leave the country, but Hassan and his family have to stay. Amir feels bad for not helping Hassan and feels guilty about it for a long time. Later, Amir finds out that Hassan, who died in the war, was actually his half-brother. Amir decides to go back to Afghanistan to find Hassan’s son, Sohrab, who is in danger. Amir risks his life to save Sohrab and brings him to the United States, where he takes care of him. Amir does this to make up for (弥补) not helping Hassan in the past.

Or maybe you’ve tried to tell someone your feelings, but they are hard to put into words? Well, there’s an app for that! Feel Now is a free app that you can use on your mobile phone. It helps teenagers think about and understand their feelings. It was designed by two 17-year-olds, Taara Verma and Siena Pradhan, from the US. Each day, Feel Now sends a reminder to users to record a feeling. The users pick one from six feelings: happy, peaceful, angry, sad, disgusted (厌恶的) and scared. Then the app breaks down each one into 10 more feelings. For example, “scared” can be broken down into “worried” and nine other feelings. You can also describe how strongly you’re feeling “slightly (轻微地)”, “moderately (一般地)” or “highly”. Vibha Kurdikar is a doctor. She said teenagers are often not aware of their feelings. Kids nowadays are under a lot of stress,” Kurdikar said. “But sometimes they don’t realize something is stressful until it’s too late.” Feel Now helps them notice how they are feeling. Aditi Jha, 14, has been using Feel Now for months. When she stops to examine her feelings, she sometimes notices a feeling she didn’t know about. She might realize that she’s worrying about a test. And then she can do something to make herself feel better. Feel Now could be more useful if it works with apps that record exercise or sleep. But Taara and Siena think that just recognizing (辨别出) and recording one’s feelings is valuable on its own. “The simpler it is, I think, the more people will use it,” Taara said. 46. What do we know about Feel Now from Paragraph 2? ①It is a free app ②It was designed by teenagers ③It can be used on mobile phones. ④It can help teenagers make friends. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④ 47. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How Feel Now works. B. Why Feel Now is important. C. Where Feel Now can be found. D. What the purpose of Feel Now is. 48. What does the underlined part “aware of” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. 倾诉 B. 释放 C. 意识到 D. 担心 49. What might Aditi Jha think of Feel Now? A. Popular. B. Useful. C. Expensive. D. Common 50. What do Taara and Siena believe about Feel Now? A. It should look prettier. B. It should have a higher value. C. It should work with other apps. D. It should be simple and easy to use. D When Goldie Nejat began developing robots in 2005, she spent much of her time knocking on doors to let people know how her robots worked but few showed interest. “But now, it’s different,” says Nejat. “People calling from around the world ask when my robots are going to be ready.” Nejat’s robots are designed to meet an increasing need—caregiving for the old. The population of the people over age 80 will be more than 426 million in 2050, about three times larger than that now. Such robots could be especially useful to patients with Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症). They can help with everyday activities from preparing food to telling the patients to take their medicine on time. They can also play games with patients to keep them active. Some have worried that care-giving robots might reduce human interaction (互动) and cause more humans to lose their jobs. “But the purpose is to support human care, not to take the place of it,” says Brian Scassellati. He has tested robots with different patients, and found that daily interaction with robots can help children with autism spectrum disorder (自闭症谱系障碍) improve social skills. As a field grows, scientists try to understand human-robot relationships better. Do robots offer advantages (优点) because they don’t have feelings and don’t give opinions? Will patients lose interest? “One thing is clear,” Scassellati says. “Robots can give care to the customers and the need for that will increase in the future.” 51. The writer starts the passage by ________. A. using sayings B. showing some facts C. raising a question D. providing some suggestions 52. Nejat’s robots are designed to________. A. treat patients B. make phone calls C. take care of the old D. knock on doors 53. Paragraph3 mainly talks about ________. A. what the robots can do B. a test on the old people C. serious problems the robots may cause D. old people’s opinions on the robots 54. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Scientists aren’t trying to understand human-robot relationships. B. The need for taking care of the children is increasing these years. C. Such robots can help autistic children improve their social skills. D. Many people called to order the robots when they were first made. 55. From Scassellati’s words, we can infer (推断) that Nejat’s robots ________ A. will have feelings soon B. will get more popular C. can take the place of humans D. can give their own opinions 第二节 E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Silk, the word itself is beautiful.

It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the art. 66.
