“I was wondering if Patrick would sing The Power of Love during the service on Thanks-giving Day,” the community youth director asked in a message left on our answering machine.
My wife Catherine and I struggled to contain our excitement about our five-year-old son’s first solo (独唱). Catherine carefully explained the possibility, reminding Patrick how beautifully he sang, telling him how much fun it would be. Patrick himself seemed less convinced. “You know, Mom,” he said, “sometimes when I have to do something important, I get kind of scared.”
Grown-ups feel that way, too, we told him, but the decision was left to him. He took only a few minutes. “Okay,” Patrick said. “I’ll do it.” From the time he was a baby, Patrick has enjoyed an unusual passion for music. By age four, he could pound out several bars of Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries on the piano. Still, I could hardly imagine myself, at age five, singing into a microphone before hundreds of people.
When Thanks-giving Day arrived, my expectations were limited. Catherine, our daughter Melanie and I sat in darkness as a spotlight found my son, standing alone at the microphone. He was dressed in white, with a pair of angel wings. Slowly, confidently, Patrick hit every note. As his voice washed over the people, he seemed a true angel. There was eternity (永恒) in Patrick’s voice that night, a beauty rich enough to bring heavy tears to my eyes.
His song was soon over, and at my side, Catherine brushed away tears and Melanie sobbed, too. Outside, I received congratulations from fellow community members. I found my son who looked at me with curiosity. “You’re crying Why, Dad ”
“I have to cry, for nothing else but your singing.”
Patrick smiled proudly and flew into my arms. “I don’t understand,” my son said into my shoulder, “But maybe you do have your reason to cry.”
What did the community youth director intend to do in the message
Invite Patrick to perform. B．Admire Patrick’s singing skills. C．Asking about a singing event. D．Decline Patrick’s participation.
How did Patrick react to the news initially
He was over-excited. B．He was less confident.
C．He showed no interest. D．He rejected the offer directly.
What does the father mean at last
Where there is a will, there is a way.
The early bird catches the worm.
Actions speak louder than words.
True beauty lies in overcoming one’s fears.
What is the text mainly about
A．A celebration for Thanks-giving Day.
B．A family’s selfless service at the community.
C．A young boy’s extraordinary talent for music.
D．A father’s witness of his son’s growth.
C
A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.
By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid (生物杂交的) robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to provide fertility treatments, and cyborg cockroache robots could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.
“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical engineering at Cornell University.
The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple box. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated ( 培育) the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients.
The team found it challenging to develop a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”
What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph
They can control living creatures.
They can make various movements.
They are made of king oyster mushrooms.
They are partly mushroom and partly machine.
What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4
The potential of biohybrid robots in the future.
The different types of biohybrid robots in the future.
The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab.
The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones.
What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots
Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia. B．Arranging the electrode in the right order. C．Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia. D．Positioning the electrode accurately on the mycelia.
Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
When Nature Meets Technology
How Technology Transforms Nature C．King Oyster Mushrooms: the Magic of Nature
D．Biohybrid Robotics: the Key to Social Development
D
Research has found that loneliness and social isolation are associated with an increased risk of conditions like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and stroke (中风). In fact, a 2010 analysis found that loneliness is as harmful to physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day — meaning using friendship to reduce loneliness is good for you. But how many friends should you have
According to Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very connected to others, more friends are better.
Some research endorses his remarks. One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives.
To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely ” While everyone feels lonely sometimes, you should determine whether you feel isolated (孤独的) regularly.
Franco also recommends asking yourself if there are parts of your characters that you feel are restricted. “If so, you need different types of friends. Different people bring out different parts
of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and that side of yourself that loves flowers,” Franco said.
Since making new friends can be difficult, Franco said it’s often easier to restore old relationships. She added that you should take the initiative and not assume that friendships will naturally happen.
“Ultimately, there ‘isn’t a magic number’ of friends for everyone,” Hall said. “Your personality and the characteristics of your life are going to make a difference.”
What might Jeffrey Hall agree with
Having just one friend leads to more happiness. B．Everyone’s ideal number of friends doesn’t vary.
broad friend network enables strong connections. D．One important friend is enough to ease your loneliness.
What does the underlined word “endorses” in paragraph 3 mean
Creates. B．Supports. C．Satisfies. D．Introduces.
Which one suggests a person needs more friends according to Franco
Continuous self-doubt. B．Few exciting experiences. C．Ineffective social activities. D．Constant feelings of isolation.
What does Franco say about having a large friend group
It requires befriending those with shared values.
It ensures personal growth by wide social circles.
It means a person won’t feel restricted any longer.
It helps explore different aspects of one’s personality.

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 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
“Can we pick this one, Dad ” my four-year-old daughter, Alicia, asks. We’re on one of our Thursday adventures, searching the nearby woods for 41 mushrooms. She’s pointing at a bright-red cap covered with white dots. I pull out my handy mushroom-identification app, which notes that Amanita muscaria, while safe to eat if 42 properly, is also a known poison. I don’t think our adventures are ready to get quite that 43 yet.
Watching your kids learn new skills is extraordinarily 44 , but I’ve experienced more personal growth than I have at any other point in my life. Some of these skills, like mushroom
45 , are what I’ve always had an interest in but never had the motivation to pick up. And there’s so much more.
Last year, Alicia took up skiing. After a winter of practicing every week on the green tracks, which are intended for 46 , Alicia tried her way down blues and even 47 her first black (for experts). That month also witnessed me visiting the mountain more times than in the 15 years 48 and now I’ve got myself a partner for life.
It’s not all easy — 49 sometimes that’s the point. Alicia practices the violin every day, and although she enjoys it, even 15 minutes of practice can 50 her. The trick, I’ve found, is to let her watch me try to get better at something, too. I start 51 piano lessons at
41 years old with the idea that if she sees me 52 as I practice, she’ll understand that things don’t come easy, even for grown-ups. I know there’s going to be a time when I’ll 53 on the sideline cheering her on as she finds her own passions. I’m okay with this, and I’m hoping that by then she’ll carry the 54 of knowledge through life.
My mother was visiting us a few months ago. As Alicia talked to her while walking through the woods, my mom asked, “Alicia, how do you know so many things ” My daughter said, “I’ve been 55 knowing things for four years. ”

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The advance of technology can 56 (see) as a risk for the environment. But with the growing concern for the animals and environment, technology is coming to the rescue. In the Indonesian rainforest, people tie mobile phones to tree trunks 57 (listen) in on the sounds of illegal logging. The sound of a truck is 58 alarm bell that can bring forest rangers (护林员) hurrying to the scene. In the grassland, camera traps use sensors to detect animals crossing their path and trigger the digital photograph or video. The data 59 (collect) from camera traps provides crucial details on the 60 (locate), population, and behavior of a species. To take useful information from this ever increasing volume of data, conservationists are also turning
61 AI. This can analyze conservation data 62 (accurate), identifying a rare species from among multiple 63 (image). AI can even help predict the movement of animals.
It is important to put technology into practice. Late last year, a supercomputer using new
scientific modeling 64 (predict) that around a quarter of all animal and plant species could be extinct by the end of this century. Action has never been more urgent, and technology could well be the decisive tool 65 helps preserve life on Earth.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Recently, I volunteered with Interact, my school’s service group at Read 2 Me, an activity that gives volunteers the opportunity to read to little kids and interact with them.
I walked with other volunteers into a large room in which there was a large variety of books. Some were picture books, such as Cifford or The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Others were chapter
books with pictures in them, such as The Berenstain Bears and The Wimpy Kid series. For the extremely talented kids who like to be challenged, we provided chapter books that required imagination to understand. Just after I had gathered some books together, someone announced that it was almost time for the activity to start. All at once, a burst of voices was heard. The doors opened, and the children rushed in, beginning to look for a reading buddy (伙伴). They all looked so eager to read, just like mice eager to taste a piece of cheese. I was sitting there waiting and glancing at the books that I had picked out for the lucky kid I would read them to.
Just then, a boy about six years old began to come my way, and I knew that I had found my reading buddy. “Hi, I’m Max. Would you like to be my reading buddy ” “Sure,” I responded. And then, I let him search for a book of his choice.
“I like this one,” shouted Max. I looked at the book that he had chosen. It told an adventure story of a little girl with her dog, and it seemed that it would be a good one to read to him.
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。
Paragraph 1: “Can you tell me why you want this book ” I asked.
Paragraph 2: Then came the after-reading activities in which we interacted with each other.

W: Your search on this project has been excellent.
M: Thank you. I couldn’t have done it without the help of a strong team.
6-7 M: So Maria, what are you going to do for dinner tonight

M: Every night.
W: How is it better, Todd I don’t understand.
8-10 M: Well, actually we’re talking about extreme sports. Have you heard about Ultra Marathon W: I’m reading a book right now that’s about a group of Ultra runners in Mexico. And I think it’s going to come on to the subject of Ultra marathons.
M: Yeah, I mean what has the book talked about.
W: The book talks about this very old group who can run for days. M: Days
W: Like days, yeah. And some of the members of this group are already in their eighties and nineties. And they can cross mountains and they have a very simple diet. They run barefoot.
M: Barefoot
W: They run barefoot.
M: In the desert on rocks W: In the desert, yeah, yeah. M: Wow.
11-13M: So Katie, I want to go to the shopping center. W: Okay.
M: Have you been to the new shopping center W: Yeah, I actually went there just yesterday.
M: Okay, so I want to buy some computer stuff. Is there a computer store

M: Wow! A whole music career. I never heard of that.
W: Yeah, it’s pretty cool. Not all universities have them, but I was lucky that where I lived the universities had a music career and the saxophone teacher was really good. So I got to study there for four years. Tell me Jerry, do you play any music instruments
M: Well, yeah, in fact I play the guitar. I learned as a kid in my school. It was classical guitar, but it was really cool, too.
17-20 W: Hello, I’m Victoria and I’m from Serena. My question is: Do you think poor people are happier than rich people I believe this is a very difficult question to answer because the question contains some generalizations. Poor people and rich people are put together here and they are compared as a group, which I think is not entirely accurate. Because you have different types of poor people. You have poor people that are content with what they have or don’t have. And when you are content, it contributes to your happiness. By contrast, there are poor people that are not happy with their circumstances understandably so. Because let’s take for example. People who live in areas without enough food or areas with natural disasters that have robbed them of everything they have, their homes, their livelihood, their security health care. I mean it is understandable that
people become unhappy if they have to suffer. On the other hand, you have rich people. I think there are a number of types of rich people. You have rich people that are never satisfied, keep going after more and more and more and those people tend to be unhappy. By contrast, there might be
rich people who have purpose and are content with what they have, which contributes to their happiness. So I think it really depends on what type of poor people are being compared to what type of rich people.

细节理解题。根据第一段“Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体) : a king oyster mushroom.(通过插头或电池供电，这些简单的机器人创造物可能并不引人注目，但这两个机器人的与众不同之处在于，它们是由一种生物控制的：一种王牡蛎蘑菇)”可知，两个机器人部分是蘑菇，部分是机器。故选 D。
推理判断题。根据第四段“There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (肥沃) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for
survivors in the wake of an earthquake.(生物混合机器人要走出实验室还有很长的路要走，但研究人员希望有一天机器水母可以探索海洋，精子驱动的机器人可以提供不孕症治疗，半机器人蟑螂可以在地震后寻找幸存者)”可知，作者在第 4 段中给出的例子想要说明生物混合机器人的未来可能性。故选 A。
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra.(研究小组发现，设计一个能够检测并使用来自菌丝体的小电信号来指挥机器人的系统是一项挑战。该研究的主要作者阿南德·米什拉说：“你必须确保电极接触到正确的位置，因为菌丝非常薄。”）可知，在设计机器人时，团队发现难以将电极准确定位在菌丝上。故选 D。
主旨大意题。根据第二段“By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.(通过将蘑菇的菌丝体植入机器人的硬件，康奈尔大学研究人员领导的一个团队设计了两种类型的机器人，它们通过蘑菇发出的电信号和对光的敏感性来感知和响应环境)”结合文章主要介绍了一种将生物和科技结合起来的机器人，介绍了其工作原理以及存在的挑战可知，A 选项“当自然遇上科技”最符合文章标题。故选 A。

导语本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究表明，好朋友能提高生活满意度和健康水平，心理学家建议多交朋友以抵御排斥感或孤立感，并更好地展现自我。
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Jeffrey Hall, a professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, if you want to ease the health impacts of loneliness, the most important thing you can do is to have at least one important person in your life. But if you want to have the most meaningful life, one where you feel very connected to others, more friends are better.(根据堪萨斯大学传播学教授 Jeffrey Hall 的说法，如果你想减轻孤独对健康的影响，你能做的最重要的事情就是在你的生活中至少有一个重要的人。但如果你想拥有最有意义的生活，一个你感觉与他人紧密相连的生活，那么朋友越多越好。)”可知，Jeffrey Hall 可能会同意的是广泛的朋友网络可以建立牢固的联系。故选 C。
词句猜测题。根据第三段“One study from 2016 found that those with at least six friends have better health throughout their lives, and a study from 2020 found that middle-aged women who have at least three friends typically have higher levels of overall satisfaction with their lives.(2016 年的一项研究发现，拥有至少 6 个朋友的人一生都更健康，2020 年的一项研究发现，拥有至少 3 个朋友的中年女性通常对生活的总体满意度更高。)”可知，这些研究发现与 Jeffrey Hall 的观点相一致，因此，endorses 意为“支持”，和 supports 意思相近。故选 B。
细节理解题。根据第四段“To figure out whether you need more friends in your life, psychologist Marisa Franco recommends asking yourself, “Do I feel lonely ” While everyone feels lonely sometimes, you should determine whether you feel isolated (孤独的) regularly.(为了弄清楚你的生活中是否需要更多的朋友，心理学家 Marisa Franco 建议你问问自己：“我感到孤独吗？”虽然每个人都会偶尔感到孤单，你应该确定自己是否经常感到孤独）可知选 D。
推理判断题。根据第五段“Different people bring out different parts of us. So when you have a large friend group, you’re able to experience this side of yourself that loves basketball, and
that side of yourself that loves flowers(不同的人展现出我们不同的一面。所以当你有一大群朋 友的时候，你就能体会到自己热爱篮球的这一面，以及自己热爱鲜花的那一面)”可推断出，拥有一个大的朋友群有助于探索一个人性格的不同方面。故选 D。

答案 Possible version 1:
Dear Ryan,
I am Li Hua from Grade 2, a participant in the last continuation writing competition. Having scored only 14 for my continuation writing, I felt it unfair, so I am writing to you to state my reasons.
For my writing, I felt it totally meets the requirements put forward in the contest. To begin with, the structure of my composition is definitely clear and the plot develops reasonably, no prolixity at all. Additionally, the words and sentences used are colorful, without repeatedly using the same word. I even wrote some compound sentences to update my writing, such as attributive clause, the emphatic pattern, inverted sentence and so on. Finally, a well-known saying is used to end my article, which I think is a perfect highlight of the passage.
In a word, with the merits mentioned above, I wonder why I got such a low score. If it is convenient for you, please give me an explanation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Possible version 2:
Dear Ryan,
I am Li Hua from Grade 2, a participant in the last continuation writing competition. I received a score of 14 out of 25, and I believe this score is unreasonably low.
Firstly, I carefully followed the guidelines and requirements of the competition. I made sure to address the given topic and structure my writing appropriately. Secondly, I also paid attention to grammar, vocabulary, and coherence in my composition. Therefore, I believe my writing should have been evaluated more favorably.
In conclusion, I feel that my score of 14 does not accurately represent my writing abilities. I kindly request you to reconsider my score and provide me with a fair evaluation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节 (满分 25 分)
"Can you tell me why you want this book " I asked. "I like adventure stories and I like dogs," he answered. I was delighted with his answer, and at once, I started to read to him. The story was so attractive to Max. He listened with great interest, totally lost in what was described in the story. He thanked me when I finished reading to him, looking so happy for having got the chance to listen to the story.
Then came the after-reading activities in which we interacted with each other. "I wish I were the dog. Then I could go on an adventure," said Max as we were talking about the story. I laughed and encouraged him to come up with some different endings of the story, which all sounded pretty funny. In the end, we acted out the story together. You can imagine how happy he was. A book opens a door to a whole new world. That day, I helped Max open one, and I'm convinced that he will be able to open many more for himself in the future.
解析
导语本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在学校的服务组“Read 2 Me”担任志愿者，这是一个让志愿者有机会为小孩子朗读并与他们互动的活动。一个大约六岁的男孩麦克斯开始向作者走来，作者知道自己找到了阅读伙伴。作者看了看他选的那本书。它讲述了一个小女孩和她的狗的冒险故事，似乎读给他听会很不错。
详解 1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我问：“你能告诉我你为什么想要这本书吗 ””可知，第一段可描写麦克斯解释了喜欢他选的那本书的原因以及作者给他读书时麦克斯的状态以及读完后，麦克斯的感谢。
②由第二段首句内容“然后是读后感活动，我们互相交流。”可知，第二段可描写作者与麦克斯的交流过程以及感悟。
2.续写线索：询问原因——麦克斯解释——麦克斯很喜欢听——对作者的感谢——交流
——感悟
