On my first day of school,my teacher,Miss Scalapino seated me closest to the window.Right next to my desk was W港m a caterpillar in a large jar.It moved very slowly without making any sound.Just in front of the caterpillar was a picture book of caterpillars and butterflies.I went through it,page by page,studying all the pictures. When the bell rang,all the kids walked in quietly.Some of them looked at me.Embarrassed and nervous,I looked at the caterpillar in the jar.I did this every time someone looked at me.In class,I did not understand a word Miss Scalapino was saying.The more she spoke,the uneasier I felt.For days I got headaches from trying to listen.Luckily,the caterpillar brought me some comfort.During breaks,I often stayed with it and fed it with leaves from trees on the playground. My favorite time in school was when we did art.I drew butterflies in pencil and then colored them using every color in my crayon box.Miss Scalapino even put one of my drawings up on the board for everyone to see.After a couple of weeks it disappeared and I did not know how to ask where it had gone. One day after classes I looked for the caterpillar but could not see it.I put my hand in the jar and lightly moved the leaves.To my surprise,the caterpillar had turned into a cocoon(茧)， On Wednesday,May 23,just a few days before the end of the school year, Miss Scalapino took me by surprise.She handed me the drawing of the butterfly that had disappeared weeks before and a silk blue ribbon that had "Ist PLACE" printed on it in gold.I received first prize for my drawing!I was so proud that I felt like bursting out of my skin. That afternoon,I checked on the caterpillar.I was amazed to find a butterfly moving from its cocoon slowly.I opened the jar.Magically,the butterfly came out.fluttering (in the air,ready for a completely new life. 17.In Miss Scalapino's first class,the writer felt A.excited B.proud C.uneasy D.surprised 18.Miss Scalapino took the writer by surprise when A.she took away his favorite drawing B.she gave him the caterpillar in a jar C.she handed him his drawing and a ribbon D.she put one of his drawings up on the board 19.The butterfly fluttering in the air could probably remind the writer that A.they would both stay unnoticed by others B.he could start a new stage in his life as well C.he would need fo use more colors to draw butterflies D.they could spend a lot more time together in the future 页语第5页共2页 C Imagine a robot.What comes to your mind first?A machine stronger thins the human body?However,this same quality is now eausing a big problem-it's creating tons of long-lasting e-waste that could flood our planet.What if,instead, the machines we use were designed to break dowm and disapposr--just as living things do? For a study published in Science Advances,reseurehers made a robotie arm and a controller using materials from animals and plants,These materials are strong enough to work but can easily break down in a natural onvironment.After testing,both parts were gone in soil within weeks. Biodegradable(可生物降解的)robotics often falls under the umbrella of sofl robotics,which takes ideas from nature."This field started in materials seience and chemistry rather than traditional robots that come from mechanical ( engineering."says Florian Hartmann,a materials scientist from Germany. However,many early soft robotics models still used man-made materials that cause pollution. Wei,a scientist who studies natural materials in Hangzhou,worked together with his friend Zhang,a robotics engineer in Shanghai.to build robots for the new study.They started with cellulose taken from cotton.Then,they added glycerol (to make a new material that is soft and easy to change shapes. After that they allowed it to dry so it became strong,"Cellulose is cheap and easy to work with,"says Wei.They found that the controller and the robotic arm stood up to both heavy use and a week of inactivity.Finally,they buried (them both in a hole.Within eight weeks these two parts were almost completely gone. Wei and Zhang expect that robots like these can be used to deal with dangerous waste and then disappear naturally.They also hope that such robots can aid doctors in operations and then safely break down inside the body. 英语第6页共12页 However,it's important to note that the technology is still in very early stages. "If we truly want to have a biodegradable robot,"Hartmann says,"we also need to make sure its electronics and power parts are biodegradable." 20.What is special about the robotic arm and the controller in Paragraph 2? A.They are green. B.They are hard. C.They are intelligent.D.They are affordable. 21.What is mentioned in Paragraph 5 about soft robots? A.Their operation. B.Their applications. C.Their challenges. D.Their performance. 22.What can we learn from the passage? A.Soft robots are widely used to clean up e-waste. B.Soft robots have to rest for a week after heavy use. C.The designing of soft robots borrows ideas from nature. D.Mechanical engineering offers new ways to run soft robots. 英语第7页共12页 D I remember once asking the famous painter Elizabeth Mhirrny whas she thought of her early works.She told me that a fow didn't quiio meet her owen mark for what she wanted them to be.One of the works,in fhct,so didn't most bet mark, that she had set it out in the rubbish in her studio,and her neighbor had taken it because she saw its value.At that moment,my view of succees and creatrvity changed.I realized that success is a moment,but what we are always celebrating is creativity and mastery. I started to understand this when I watehed an archer().She first hit a seven ring,and then a nine.and then two tens,and then the next arrow didn't evem hit the target.And I saw that gave her more tenacity,and she went after it agaio and again.For three hours this went on.So,success is hitting that ten ring,but mastery is knowing that it means nothing if you can't do it again and again. Mastery is not just the same as excellence,though.It's not the same as success, which I see as an event,a moment in time,and a title the world awards you, Mastery is not a commitment (to a goal but to a continous search.Whul gets us to push forward more is to value a near win. Part of the reason that the near win is inbuilt to mastery is because the grenter our proficiency ()the more clearly we might see that we don't know all thar we thought we did.It's called the"Dunning-Kruger effect.The Paris Review gor it out of James Baldwin when they asked him,"What do you think increases with knowledge?"and he said,"You learn how little you know." Success motivates us,but a near win can push us in an ongoing quest () One of the most vivid examples of this comes when we look at the difference between Olympic silver medalists and bronze medalists after a competition Thomas Gilovich and his team from Comell studied this difference and found that the frustration silver medalists feel compared to bronze medalists,who are 英语第8页共12页 typically a bit happier to have just not received fourth place and not medaled at all, gives silver medalists a focus on follow-up competition. The reason the near win driving us forward is because it changes our view of the landscape and puts our goals,which we tend to put at a distance,closer to where we stand.And this is what a near win does.It gets us to focus on what,right now,we plan to do to address that mountain in our sights. We become,and continue to be,successful,strong and healthy not when we've done it all,butwhen westill have more to do.We build out of the unfinished idea,even if that idea is our former self.This is the dynamic of mastery.Coming close to what you thought you wanted can help you achieve more than you ever dreamed you could.Completion is a goal,but we hope it is never the end. 23.What do you know about success and mastery from the passage? A.Most successes are driven by Dunning-Kruger effect. B.Making every effort to win is what mastery underlines. C.Success means going after excellence over and over again. D.Knowing how little we know sets us on the path to mastery. 24.What does the underlined word "tenacity"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.The wish to give up quickly. B.The will to keep on trying. C.The sense of being upset. D.The joy of winning prizes. 25.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To explain the true meaning of mastery. B.To inspire people to continue reaching higher. C.To present the benefits ofhaving the right goal. D.To compare different ways to deal with a near win. 英语第9页共12页 四、阅读短文，根据短文内卷问答问题。(26-28题每题3分。景29题4 分，共10分) Do you have trouble watching a movie without cheeking your pfieeis?Doen your family complain()ahout your soeial media hahit?If your answer is yes. you may be experiencing FOMO.
