We know you could use a laugh right now — and luckily, several thousands of you told us all about the books, stories and poems that make you laugh. We took your votes and with the help of our panel (专家小组) of expert judges we created this list of 100 reads designed to make you laugh out loud. Want slice-of-life essays? Loopy poetry? Texts from famous literary figures? Scroll down — we’ve got it all. As with all our reader polls, this is a curated (精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you’ll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from one to 100. And, as always, there are a few things that didn’t make the list — surprisingly, Shakespeare didn’t get enough votes to make it to the semifinals. Then there were books that didn’t quite stand the test of time, or were so new we couldn’t tell whether they’d stand up. Some of the authors on this list are incredibly popular, and you voted them in over and over again. Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect. And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don’t let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby’s We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay. Laughter is the best medicine. Just click here and start reading! 1. How is the list of this year different from that of last year? A. More books are included. B. It is made all by readers. C. It mainly focuses on poetry. D. The listed books are classified. 2. What can we learn about Nora Ephron? A. She fails to stand the test of time. B. She is not so popular as other authors. C. She gets more than one spot on the list. D. She belongs to the panel of expert judges. 3. Why is We Are Never Meeting In Real Life kept on the list? A. It is written by a judge. B. It reflects real life. C. It gets enough readers’ votes. D. It attracts the experts. 【语篇解读】说明文。本文介绍搞笑读物推荐榜单的评选活动，介绍投票、评委审核的评选方式，对比今年分类式榜单与往年排名榜单的不同，同时说明书籍入选、落选及作者上榜的相关规则。 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. C 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As with all our reader polls, this is a curated (精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you’ll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from one to 100. (与我们所有的读者投票一样，这是一个精心策划的榜单，而不是直接的人气竞赛；与去年不同的是，你会看到这些书被分成不同的类别，而不是从1到100的排名。)”可知，今年的榜单和去年不同的是所列出的书是分类的。故选D项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect. (由于篇幅有限，我们尽量让每位作者都在名单上占据一个位置，但也有一些例外，比如Nora Ephron，我们的评委认为她是完美的。)”可知，Nora Ephron在名单上得到了不止一个位置。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don’t let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby’s We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay. (说到我们的评委，你会在今年的名单上发现他们的一些作品——我们不让评委为他们自己的作品投票，但是读者喜欢Samantha Irby的《我们在现实生活中从未见面》这样的作品，所以评审团同意他们留下来。)”可知，因为《我们在现实生活中从未见面》得到了足够多的读者投票所以一直在榜单上。故选C项。 B It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 4. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C. Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 5. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 6. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 7. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D. Chance favors the prepared mind. 【语篇详解】文体：记叙文。作者讲述自己多年学习钢琴的复杂心路，早年因攀比竞争倍感压力、心生抵触，更换老师后转变心态接纳自我，最终明白喜爱并非与生俱来，长久坚持便能滋生热爱。 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was.(这是一个经典的故事：一个孩子从小就被迫学习一种乐器，他们在整个童年时期都在演奏，并与之发展出苦乐参半的关系。对音乐的热爱和对不断挑战的憎恨之间不断的斗争值得吗？对我来说，是的)”可推知，文章讲故事是为了说明孩子们在学乐器方面的挣扎，然后引出介绍自己的情况。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“ I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt.(为了向别人证明一些东西，我感受到了成为最好的人的压力——更具毁灭性的是，为了向自己证明一些东西。我对音乐的兴趣在竞争和怀疑的阳光下生长。)”可知，作者曾经经历了来自自己的巨大压力。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。原文明确提到，作者找到自信的原因是 “I learned that anything I had was good enough”（我明白自己所拥有的一切已经足够好）。这体现的是一种心态的转变 —— 不再以 “做到极致”“超越他人” 为标准，而是接纳自己的现状，认可自身的价值。B. Her training（训练）：文中并未强调训练本身带来了自信，反而提到曾因过度自我批评而滋生厌恶，可见训练并非关键。C. Her compromise（妥协）：作者并未妥协放弃，而是主动调整方向（换老师、为自己演奏创作），不属于妥协。D. Her achievement（成就）：作者明确否定了 “因为变得足够优秀才获得自信”，而是强调对自我的接纳，与成就无关。因此，是作者态度的转变帮助她找到了自信。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. (很难学会去爱一些不是源于爱的东西)”以及文章最后一段“The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.(我对钢琴的爱和恨都是种下的，也是成长的。如果你也学会了憎恨某件事，请记住，有了承诺，它可以被连根拔起，爱可以在它的地方建立一个家。时间总是有的。空间也总是有的)”以及上下文可知，文章通过自己练钢琴的经历领悟到：对东西的爱是可以逐渐培养形成的。由此推知，B项Love is a thing that grows(爱是一种成长的东西)符合文意。故选B项。 C In countries around the world, women do more unpaid labor-housework, child and elder care, and the mental load of managing a family than men. New research suggests it takes a health toll(代价)on many of them. An analysis of 19 studies covering 70,310 people globally, which is published this month in The Lancet(柳叶刀)Public Health, found that the more of this labor women do, the worse their mental health. The findings point out women are more often diagnosed with anxiety and depression than men. Housework and child care, the research found, have much less of an impact on men’s mental health. That’s probably because they do so much less of it. In the United States, women do an average 4.5 hours of such work a day, compared with 2.8 hours for men, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In Greece, women do 4.3 hours while men do an hour and a half. Even in the most gender-equal countries, like Sweden, women do 50 minutes more a day than men. It’s also because the type of such work men do is generally less time-sensitive. For example, men are more often responsible for outdoor tasks, like mowing the lawn, that are done less often and on their own schedule. Women are more likely to take on daily tasks that need to be done at certain times, like preparing meals or cleaning up. Social expectations probably also play a role. Studies have shown that women feel pressure to keep their homes clean, for instance, and feel judged if they don’t. Men, on the other hand, are often praised for doing daily tasks like taking a child to an appointment. The Lancet researchers said that drawing clear conclusions from the 19 studies was difficult and that more research would be welcome. 8. How does the author show the research findings in paragraph 2 and 3? A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures. C. By making analysis. D. By telling stories. 9. What does the underlined word “time-sensitive“ mean in paragraph 4? A. Flexible. B. Valuable. C. Demanding in timing. D. Challenging in skills. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Women are generally expected to do more household labor. B. Women will be punished by judges if they don’t keep their homes clean. C. Men feel stressed more often when they can’t take their children to the dentist. D. Men are supposed to take a child to an appointment instead of doing other housework. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Facts that men and women are unequal. B. Bad effects that housework has on women. C. Responsibilities that women share in families. D. Reasons why unpaid labor hurts women more mentally. 【语篇解读】文体：说明文。文章依托多项全球研究指出，无偿家务会严重损害女性心理健康，通过各国数据对比，从家务时长、任务属性、社会固有期待三个维度阐释男女心理差距形成的缘由。 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“An analysis of 19 studies covering 70,310 people globally(本月发表在《柳叶刀》上的一项对全球70310人的19项研究的分析发现)”以及第三段“In the United States, women do an average 4.5 hours of such work a day, compared with 2.8 hours for men(在美国，女性平均每天做4.5小时的此类工作，而男性为2.8小时)”可知，作者在第二段和第三段是通过列举数字展示研究成果，故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“For example, men are more often responsible for outdoor tasks, like mowing the lawn, that are done less often and on their own schedule. Women are more likely to take on daily tasks that need to be done at certain times, like preparing meals or cleaning up.(例如，男性更经常负责户外任务，比如修剪草坪，而这些任务的频率较低，而且是按照自己的时间表完成的。女性更有可能承担某些特定时间需要完成的日常任务，比如做饭或打扫卫生)”可知，男性负责的任务对时间的要求没有女性高，可推理出第四段中time-sensitive的含义应为：对时间要求高的，故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Studies have shown that women feel pressure to keep their homes clean, for instance, and feel judged if they don’t(例如，研究表明女性会因需要保持家里清洁更感到有压力，如果不这样做，她们会受到评判)”可知，妇女被期望从事更多的家务劳动，故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In countries around the world, women do more unpaid labor-housework, child and elder care, and the mental load of managing a family-than men. New research suggests it takes a health toll(代价)on many of them(在世界各国，女性比男性做更多的无偿劳动家务、照顾孩子和老人，以及管理家庭的精神负担。新的研究表明，这会对他们中的许多人造成健康损失)”、再根据第三段“Housework and child care, the research found, have much less of an impact on men’s mental health.( 研究发现，家务劳动和儿童保育对男性心理健康的影响要小得多)”以及第五段“Social expectations probably also play a role.(社会期望可能也起到了一定作用)”可知，本文第一段提出了无偿劳动家务对妇女有心理健康危害这一研究发现，后续段落对这一研究发现进行了原因分析和解释，故选D项。 D To help address the elder care challenge, a team of MIT engineers is looking to robots. They have built and tested the Elderly Bodily Assistance Robot, or E-BAR, a mobile robot designed to physically support the elderly and prevent them from falling as they move around their homes. The E-BAR acts as a set of robotic handlebars(把手)that follows a person from behind. A user can walk independently or lean on the robot’s arms for support. The robot can support the person’s full weight, lifting them from sitting to standing and the other way round. And the arms of the robot can support them by rapidly inflating(使充气)side airbags if they begin to fall. With their design, the researchers hope to prevent falls, which today are the leading cause of injury in adults who are 65 and older. “Many older adults don’t realize the risk of falls and refuse to use walking sticks, which are inconvenient, while others overestimate the risk and may not do exercise, leading to poor mobility,” says Harry Asada, the Ford Professor of Engineering at MIT. “Our aim is to provide older adults having the balance problem with robotic handlebars for holding their body. The handlebars can go anywhere and provide support anytime, whenever they need it,” Asada says. “Elder care conditions can change every few weeks or months. We’d like to provide continuous support as a person’s disability or mobility changes with age.” At present, the robot is run by remote control. In the future, the team plans to improve the robot’s functionality, allowing it to autonomously follow and physically help a user. “I think elder care is the next great challenge,” says E-BAR designer Roberto Bolli. “All the data points to a shortage of caregivers, a sharp increase in the elderly population, and a strong desire for elderly people to age in place. We see it not only as an unexplored field in America, but also a naturally interesting challenge for robots.” 12.How does the E-BAR respond if a user begins to fall? A.It calls a caregiver. B.It sounds an alarm. C.It blows up the airbags. D.It reaches out the handlebars. 13.What’s the feature of the E-BAR Asada stresses? A.The affordable price.　　 B.The flexible material. C.The novel appearance.　　 D.The general applicability. 14.What message does Roberto Bolli deliver in the last paragraph? A.The healthcare system needs to be improved. B.Social developments change with the times. C.There will possibly be a huge market for the E-BAR. D.More research is required to invent robots like the E-BAR. 15.What can be the best title for the text? A.The Role of Robots in Future Life B.A Robotic Solution to the Elderly Support Problem C.Ways to Improve Elderly People’s Mobility D.The Challenges of Elder Care in Modern Society 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院的工程师团队研发的一款机器人,该机器人可为老年人的活动提供支撑并预防他们跌倒。 32.C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“And the arms of the robot can support them by rapidly inflating side airbags if they begin to fall.”可知,当使用者要跌倒时,E-BAR会迅速给侧面的安全气囊充气来提供支撑。故选C。 33.D　细节理解题。根据第四段中Asada的话“The handlebars can go anywhere and provide support anytime, whenever they need it”以及“We'd like to provide continuous support as a person's disability or mobility changes with age.”可知,Asada强调的E-BAR的特点是其具有广泛的适用性,能够随时随地提供支持,并根据使用者的身体状况变化持续提供帮助。故选D。 34.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段Roberto Bolli的话“所有数据都表明护理人员短缺、老年人口激增,且老年人强烈希望就地养老。我们认为,这不仅是美国未被充分开发的领域,对机器人而言,也是一个自然而然有趣的挑战”可知,E-BAR存在巨大的市场潜力。故选C。 35.B　主旨大意题。文章围绕麻省理工学院研发的E-BAR机器人展开,介绍了其解决老年人支撑问题的功能、研发意义及未来规划,核心是这款机器人为老年人提供支撑,即从机器人角度解决老年人的支撑问题。故选B。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） In today’s world, understanding and embracing cultural diversity matters more than ever. Cultural awareness enables us to recognize and respect both differences and similarities across cultures.

We know you could use a laugh right now — and luckily, several thousands of you told us all about the books, stories and poems that make you laugh. We took your votes and with the help of our panel (专家小组) of expert judges we created this list of 100 reads designed to make you laugh out loud. Want slice-of-life essays? Loopy poetry? Texts from famous literary figures? Scroll down — we’ve got it all. As with all our reader polls, this is a curated (精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you’ll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from one to 100. And, as always, there are a few things that didn’t make the list — surprisingly, Shakespeare didn’t get enough votes to make it to the semifinals. Then there were books that didn’t quite stand the test of time, or were so new we couldn’t tell whether they’d stand up. Some of the authors on this list are incredibly popular, and you voted them in over and over again. Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect. And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don’t let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby’s We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay. Laughter is the best medicine. Just click here and start reading! 1. How is the list of this year different from that of last year? A. More books are included. B. It is made all by readers. C. It mainly focuses on poetry. D. The listed books are classified. 2. What can we learn about Nora Ephron? A. She fails to stand the test of time. B. She is not so popular as other authors. C. She gets more than one spot on the list. D. She belongs to the panel of expert judges. 3. Why is We Are Never Meeting In Real Life kept on the list? A. It is written by a judge. B. It reflects real life. C. It gets enough readers’ votes. D. It attracts the experts. B It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 4. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C. Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 5. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 6. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 7. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D. Chance favors the prepared mind. C In countries around the world, women do more unpaid labor-housework, child and elder care, and the mental load of managing a family than men. New research suggests it takes a health toll(代价)on many of them. An analysis of 19 studies covering 70,310 people globally, which is published this month in The Lancet(柳叶刀)Public Health, found that the more of this labor women do, the worse their mental health. The findings point out women are more often diagnosed with anxiety and depression than men. Housework and child care, the research found, have much less of an impact on men’s mental health. That’s probably because they do so much less of it. In the United States, women do an average 4.5 hours of such work a day, compared with 2.8 hours for men, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In Greece, women do 4.3 hours while men do an hour and a half. Even in the most gender-equal countries, like Sweden, women do 50 minutes more a day than men. It’s also because the type of such work men do is generally less time-sensitive. For example, men are more often responsible for outdoor tasks, like mowing the lawn, that are done less often and on their own schedule. Women are more likely to take on daily tasks that need to be done at certain times, like preparing meals or cleaning up. Social expectations probably also play a role. Studies have shown that women feel pressure to keep their homes clean, for instance, and feel judged if they don’t. Men, on the other hand, are often praised for doing daily tasks like taking a child to an appointment. The Lancet researchers said that drawing clear conclusions from the 19 studies was difficult and that more research would be welcome. 8. How does the author show the research findings in paragraph 2 and 3? A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures. C. By making analysis. D. By telling stories. 9. What does the underlined word “time-sensitive“ mean in paragraph 4? A. Flexible. B. Valuable. C. Demanding in timing. D. Challenging in skills. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Women are generally expected to do more household labor. B. Women will be punished by judges if they don’t keep their homes clean. C. Men feel stressed more often when they can’t take their children to the dentist. D. Men are supposed to take a child to an appointment instead of doing other housework. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Facts that men and women are unequal. B. Bad effects that housework has on women. C. Responsibilities that women share in families. D. Reasons why unpaid labor hurts women more mentally. D To help address the elder care challenge, a team of MIT engineers is looking to robots. They have built and tested the Elderly Bodily Assistance Robot, or E-BAR, a mobile robot designed to physically support the elderly and prevent them from falling as they move around their homes. The E-BAR acts as a set of robotic handlebars(把手)that follows a person from behind. A user can walk independently or lean on the robot’s arms for support. The robot can support the person’s full weight, lifting them from sitting to standing and the other way round. And the arms of the robot can support them by rapidly inflating(使充气)side airbags if they begin to fall. With their design, the researchers hope to prevent falls, which today are the leading cause of injury in adults who are 65 and older. “Many older adults don’t realize the risk of falls and refuse to use walking sticks, which are inconvenient, while others overestimate the risk and may not do exercise, leading to poor mobility,” says Harry Asada, the Ford Professor of Engineering at MIT. “Our aim is to provide older adults having the balance problem with robotic handlebars for holding their body. The handlebars can go anywhere and provide support anytime, whenever they need it,” Asada says. “Elder care conditions can change every few weeks or months. We’d like to provide continuous support as a person’s disability or mobility changes with age.” At present, the robot is run by remote control.

We know you could use a laugh right now — and luckily, several thousands of you told us all about the books, stories and poems that make you laugh. We took your votes and with the help of our panel (专家小组) of expert judges we created this list of 100 reads designed to make you laugh out loud. Want slice-of-life essays? Loopy poetry? Texts from famous literary figures? Scroll down — we’ve got it all. As with all our reader polls, this is a curated (精心筹划的) list and not a straight-up popularity contest; unlike last year, you’ll see the books are grouped into categories rather than ranked from one to 100. And, as always, there are a few things that didn’t make the list — surprisingly, Shakespeare didn’t get enough votes to make it to the semifinals. Then there were books that didn’t quite stand the test of time, or were so new we couldn’t tell whether they’d stand up. Some of the authors on this list are incredibly popular, and you voted them in over and over again. Because space is limited, we try to hold each author to one spot on the list, but there are some exceptions such as Nora Ephron, who our judges thought was perfect. And speaking of our judges, you will find a couple of their works on the list this year — we don’t let judges vote for their own works, but readers loved works such as Samantha Irby’s We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, so the panel agreed they should stay. Laughter is the best medicine. Just click here and start reading! 1. How is the list of this year different from that of last year? A. More books are included. B. It is made all by readers. C. It mainly focuses on poetry. D. The listed books are classified. 2. What can we learn about Nora Ephron? A. She fails to stand the test of time. B. She is not so popular as other authors. C. She gets more than one spot on the list. D. She belongs to the panel of expert judges. 3. Why is We Are Never Meeting In Real Life kept on the list? A. It is written by a judge. B. It reflects real life. C. It gets enough readers’ votes. D. It attracts the experts. B It’s a classic story: A kid is forced to learn an instrument from a young age, they play it throughout their childhood, and they develop a bittersweet relationship with it. Is the constant battle between the love for the music and the hate for the constant challenge worth the fight? For me, it was. I started playing the piano when I was four-that was 15 years ago! This was huge commitment, so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? The easy guess is that I was purely in love with music and piano. Although that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit more complicated. I struggled a lot with piano. Family and peers were, at least in my own head, constantly placed beside me in competition. I felt pressure to be the best in order to prove something to others-and more devastatingly (破坏性地) to prove something to myself. The seed of my musical interest was grown in the sunlight of competition and doubt. Hate sprouted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit too hard. It’s difficult to learn to love something that didn’t originate from love. For a while, piano was more of an annoyance than a hobby. But somehow, love grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high school,it was strong enough that when I was truly on the verge of quitting any kind of formal training. I found the strength to hold on tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who helped me tunnel into what I loved. I learned pieces for myself, I composed for myself, and I found confidence not because I got “good enough,” but because I learned that anything I had was good enough. The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something, remember that with commitment, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room. 4. What does the author want to show by telling a classic story? A. The benefits of music. B. Kids’ struggle in learning instruments. C. Kids’ bittersweet childhood. D. The popularity of learning instruments. 5. What can we know about the author’s experience of playing the piano? A. She finally quit formal training. B. She never treated it as her hobby. C. She was in pure love with music and piano. D. She once experienced great pressure from herself. 6. What helped the author find confidence? A. Her attitude. B. Her training. C. Her compromise. D. Her achievement. 7. What message is mainly delivered in the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Love is a thing that grows. C. Content is better than riches. D. Chance favors the prepared mind. C In countries around the world, women do more unpaid labor-housework, child and elder care, and the mental load of managing a family than men. New research suggests it takes a health toll(代价)on many of them. An analysis of 19 studies covering 70,310 people globally, which is published this month in The Lancet(柳叶刀)Public Health, found that the more of this labor women do, the worse their mental health. The findings point out women are more often diagnosed with anxiety and depression than men. Housework and child care, the research found, have much less of an impact on men’s mental health. That’s probably because they do so much less of it. In the United States, women do an average 4.5 hours of such work a day, compared with 2.8 hours for men, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In Greece, women do 4.3 hours while men do an hour and a half. Even in the most gender-equal countries, like Sweden, women do 50 minutes more a day than men. It’s also because the type of such work men do is generally less time-sensitive. For example, men are more often responsible for outdoor tasks, like mowing the lawn, that are done less often and on their own schedule. Women are more likely to take on daily tasks that need to be done at certain times, like preparing meals or cleaning up. Social expectations probably also play a role. Studies have shown that women feel pressure to keep their homes clean, for instance, and feel judged if they don’t. Men, on the other hand, are often praised for doing daily tasks like taking a child to an appointment. The Lancet researchers said that drawing clear conclusions from the 19 studies was difficult and that more research would be welcome. 8. How does the author show the research findings in paragraph 2 and 3? A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures. C. By making analysis. D. By telling stories. 9. What does the underlined word “time-sensitive“ mean in paragraph 4? A. Flexible. B. Valuable. C. Demanding in timing. D. Challenging in skills. 10. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. Women are generally expected to do more household labor. B. Women will be punished by judges if they don’t keep their homes clean. C. Men feel stressed more often when they can’t take their children to the dentist. D. Men are supposed to take a child to an appointment instead of doing other housework. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Facts that men and women are unequal. B. Bad effects that housework has on women. C. Responsibilities that women share in families. D. Reasons why unpaid labor hurts women more mentally. D To help address the elder care challenge, a team of MIT engineers is looking to robots. They have built and tested the Elderly Bodily Assistance Robot, or E-BAR, a mobile robot designed to physically support the elderly and prevent them from falling as they move around their homes. The E-BAR acts as a set of robotic handlebars(把手)that follows a person from behind. A user can walk independently or lean on the robot’s arms for support. The robot can support the person’s full weight, lifting them from sitting to standing and the other way round. And the arms of the robot can support them by rapidly inflating(使充气)side airbags if they begin to fall. With their design, the researchers hope to prevent falls, which today are the leading cause of injury in adults who are 65 and older. “Many older adults don’t realize the risk of falls and refuse to use walking sticks, which are inconvenient, while others overestimate the risk and may not do exercise, leading to poor mobility,” says Harry Asada, the Ford Professor of Engineering at MIT. “Our aim is to provide older adults having the balance problem with robotic handlebars for holding their body. The handlebars can go anywhere and provide support anytime, whenever they need it,” Asada says. “Elder care conditions can change every few weeks or months. We’d like to provide continuous support as a person’s disability or mobility changes with age.” At present, the robot is run by remote control. In the future, the team plans to improve the robot’s functionality, allowing it to autonomously follow and physically help a user. “I think elder care is the next great challenge,” says E-BAR designer Roberto Bolli. “All the data points to a shortage of caregivers, a sharp increase in the elderly population, and a strong desire for elderly people to age in place. We see it not only as an unexplored field in America, but also a naturally interesting challenge for robots.” 12.How does the E-BAR respond if a user begins to fall? A.It calls a caregiver. B.It sounds an alarm. C.It blows up the airbags. D.It reaches out the handlebars. 13.What’s the feature of the E-BAR Asada stresses? A.The affordable price.　　 B.The flexible material. C.The novel appearance.　　 D.The general applicability. 14.What message does Roberto Bolli deliver in the last paragraph? A.The healthcare system needs to be improved. B.Social developments change with the times. C.There will possibly be a huge market for the E-BAR. D.More research is required to invent robots like the E-BAR. 15.What can be the best title for the text? A.The Role of Robots in Future Life B.A Robotic Solution to the Elderly Support Problem C.Ways to Improve Elderly People’s Mobility D.The Challenges of Elder Care in Modern Society 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） In today’s world, understanding and embracing cultural diversity matters more than ever.
