The things didn't change 30 I met Ching.Her family came from one small village and parked their boat next to31 in 1968.One night,I was swimming with my brother near our boats.Suddenly,I heard a loud shout:"Help!Help!"from Ching's boat.I saw bubbles()in the water and dived down.It was dark,but I saw Ching underwater.I swam as fast as I could,caught her arm,and 32 her up.She wasn't breathing.I remembered my first-aid lessons and saved her at once.Finally,she33up water and opened her eyes.Her parents were so thankful,but I felt like Ching was a34 to me. From that day,we were always together.I didn't admire (the kids living in tall buildings or feel lonely any more.Because I had good friends to play with and talk from heart to heart.Then we had children,and now we have grandchildren.Life is different now-we live in a house,and my grandchildren don't know how to fish!But it doesn't matter.The only35 important thing in life is the people you care and stay with. 26.A.quickly B.carefully C.clearly D.easily 27.A.saved B.cooked C.sold D.bought 28.A.and B.unless C.so D.but 29.A.reminded of B.heard of C.thought of D.dreamed of 30.A.when B.until C.after D.if 31.A.theirs B.his C.ours D.hers 32.A.pulled B.saw C.picked D.carried 33.A.pushed B.coughed C.drank D.breathed 34.A.story B.problem C.gift D.teacher 35.A.hardly B.simply C.truly D.deeply 四、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） y Robots have come a long way.Let's meet some famous robots from history! Robotic Knight Italian artist and engineer,Leonardo da Vinci came up with the idea after studying the human body.The robot could stand,sit and move its arms.However,da Vinci only drew the plans.The robot was built for the first time in the 1990s. 试卷第3页，共10页 小红 小红书号：9472306317 Herbert Televox This is seen as the world's first humanoid (robot. Roy J.Wensley in the US made it in 1927.When the phone rings ()Televox would answer it and make some buzzing sounds to tell you that the number you called was correct. ASIMO It looked like a person in a spacesuit(航天服)The Japanese business Honda first developed it in 2000.The robot could say hi to humans.It was also able to get around the things in its way. Sophia The United Nations Development Program called Sophia"a global icon(全球偶像)”.It can make facial expressions,.talk with people and understand their gestures ()Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics invented it.In 2017,Saudi Arabia gave Sophia citizenship(公民身份).That made if the worldi's first robot citizen. 6.Which of the following is the first human-like robot?

B Were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay really the first people to reach the top of the world's highest mountain?Some believe that British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the top before them in June 1924.Unluckily,this is difficult to know for sure because both men disappeared somewhere high on the mountain In 1999,a team of climbers visited the mountain,moping to learn the truth.Near the First Step,on the way to the mountain top,the team found Mallory's oxygen tank ()which shows he and Irvine had been near the top.Close by,a member of the team-Conrad Anker-discovered Mallory's body () When the team checked Mallory's body,they found things like a knife and matches,-but no photos.Why is this important?Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him.He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain,if he reached it.So some people guess he might reach the top. Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top?Probably not,according to Anker.Here are some reasons why he thought this way. Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain's Second Step.This is a 27-meter wall of rock. Climbing this part is very difficult,even with modern climbing equipment().Witnout the right tools,it is 试卷第4页，共10页 小红 小红书号：9472306317 impossible that Mallory and Irvine were able to continue to the top. No frostbite ()Mallory and Irvine were seen near the top late in the day.Climbers who reach the top at this time need to camp at the top.If they do this,it is common to get frostbite.But Mallory's body had no signs of frostbite. So what happened to Mallory and Irvine?Anker thinks they probably turned back us after the First Step. When Mallory was going down the mountain,perhaps he fell by accident.Irvine's body has never been found. Whatever happened,they will always be remembered as early brave climbers. 39.Why did the team climb the mountain in 1999? A.To search for Mallory's oxygen tank. B.To check if Irvine left his photo at the top. C.To become as famous as Hillary and Tenzing.

B.Modern climbers can easily climb the Second Step C.Mallory fell when he took a photo at the mountain top. D.Mallory and Irvine camped near the top and got frostbite Q “Shh,listen to the song.” This is the instruction given by our guide,who cut the engine of our small boat.I sit quietly and listen carefully.An echo()of chattering parrots breaks the loud noise of the cicadas().A group of swallows fly through the trees singing together.All around us,armies of mosquitos rise above the water's surface I've come to spend days sailing along the Amazon River for experiences like this.I'm here during rainy season.The river is at its highest,flooding the forest and pushing out local communities who spend half the year living along the banks of the Amazon.The whole village temporarily disappear below the surface of water.While the river seems to completely destroy (the forest,it also creates new routes from which to see it. My guide Aguilar is born and raised here,he has a deep knowledge and understanding of the forest and the river.He talked about the plants and animals,explaining how humans here have not just lived peacefully with its ecosystem(生态系统)but have depended on it for thousands of years..iature is part of us,”Aguilar says. I excitedly document each new sighting:the eye of a baby crocodile peeking through the grass;a white-throated toucan(巨嘴鸟)taking flight;a pair of sloths(树懒)lying lazily in a tree.Back on the boat, Aguilar shows me a tree frog the size of a coin on the end of his finger. As we wind our way along the river,everything before my eyes seems to remind me that nothing here is what it seems-or rather,what I am looking at today may not be here tomorrow."It's amazing how the Amazon is always changing,"says Aguilar. 试卷第5页，共10页 小红弱 小红书号：9472306317 43.What can we know from the writer's experiences in the Amazon River?

D People experience a flow state when they deeply pay attention to an activity that is challenging ( enough to match their skills.Getting into a flow state helps people learn and further develop their skills while also increasing their enjoyment of those skills. In the 1960s,psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi noticed that many artists fell into this single-minded state while doing their creative work.His research on the topic showed that people can experience flow during different situations,including games like chess,sports like surfing or rock climbing,professional activities like performing surgery(进行手术)，or creative activities like writing or painting.Time seems to pass more quickly than usual when people are in this state.He used the term"flow state"to describe this experience because many of the people he interviewed about it said the experience was like being"in flow". The state of flow can be brought about by any experience,whether work or play,he explained."It is the full participation of flow,rather than happiness,that makes for excellence in life".Flow is also va uable ror learning and developing skills.He noted the value of increasing challenges,and they should be just a little outside one's skill set.This encourages the person to stay in the flow state while also helping them to learn new skills. 4 Many people are interested in achieving flow because it can help improve performance and increase happiness.This can be different for different people.While one person may enter a flow state while gardening, another may do so while drawing or running a marathon.The key is to find an activity that the person is passionate(热情t的)about and finds enjoyable. In addition,the activity must be challenging enough to need people to raise their skill levels just beyond their abilities.High challenges and high skills will result in deep involvement()in the activity and create the desired flow state.However,the balance between skill level and challenge must be optimal to achieve flow.If the challenge is too high,it can lead to anxiety ()if the challenge is too low,it can lead to boredom. Today,it can be hard to ensure that one's environment is good for flow.If noise keeps appearing,it won't lead to a flow state.You should turn off mobile phones if you want to achieve flow. 47.What can we learn about flow state from the passage? A.People are passionate and noisy when they are in the state of flow. B.Time seems to pass more slowly than usual when people experience flow. C.People may experience flow when they keep their minds deeply on something. D.Flow state can help people protect their environment and then achieve their goals. 48.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A,The history of the research. B.The benefits of a flow state 试卷第6页，共10页 小红野 小红书号：9472306317 心E寸四4Jc小， C.The new challenges of a flow state. D.The difficulties of learning new skills. 49.The word "optimal"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to A.just right B.just new C.quite common D.quite opposite 50.The writer probably agrees that A.anxiety can help people get into a flow state B people will feel bored when the challenge is too high C.people can get into a flow state in all kinds of environments D.both high challenges and skills are necessary for a flow state 第II卷（非选择题，共50分) 五、填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） (4)根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为51-55的相 应横线上。 ColourWalk has become popular online this spring.People 51()it as a gentle,emotionally healing journey.A young woman once troubled by endless worries shared that after a 20-minute walk,she felt 521()relaxed and peaceful.A student also said the activity lifted his spirits greatly, (尤 )during the exam week.To bring more wonderful experiences to tourists,Shaoxing has become a (in creating unique color-themed routes.The local government has designed a charming yellow walking route with golden rapeseed flower fields.It is5(for visitors to take beautiful photos in this bright tone while enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.By guiding people to notice the colours in daily life.Colour Walk helps them free themselves from worries and fully enjoy the beauty of the present moment.
