The past few years have been difficult for 13-year-old Adeola Abraham. In 2020, the teen was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, and he survived a successful bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and rounds of chemotherapy (化疗). Thankfully, Adeola is now out of the hospital. During his recovery, he found out that he had qualified for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask for a dream wish from Make-A-Wish Mississippi. While many teens would choose a memorable Disney trip, meet a favorite figure or get a PlayStation, Abraham instead chose to feed the homeless in his local community.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is famous for brightening the lives of children suffering from critical illnesses by meeting their wishes. A wish typically falls into three categories: a wish to have something, go somewhere or meet someone. Abraham’s charitable wish to give came as a surprise to the organization. Linda Sermons, a Make-A-Wish Mississippi representative, said that Abraham’s generous wish was the first of its kind in the organization’s 35-year history. She was impressed with the teen’s maturity and sense of sympathy.
Make-A-Wish Mississippi approved of the teen’s wish in a big way. They created a service named after the teen, called Abraham’s Table, which would provide free meals to the homeless every month for the next year. Local businesses generously donated food and supplies, and receivers gathered in Jackson’s Poindexter Park for the meals. Abraham and his proud mom personally attended and handed out the food. Abraham’s Table fed more than 80 people at its first event. Abraham said it warmed his heart when the receivers came back to thank him for the meal he provided.
Abraham now wants to inspire other teens to get more involved in local charities. He also wants to continue his mission of helping others by starting his own nonprofit that helps those experiencing food insecurity.

C
After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together, these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, "Why Why Why "
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
"The great man," said Mencius（孟子）, "is he who does not lose his child's heart. " Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
8. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. propose a definition B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion D. present an argument
9. What does the example of Galileo tell us
A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C. Creativity results from challenging authority.
D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
10. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent
A. Observe the unknown around you.
B. Develop a questioning mind.
C. Lead a life of adventure.
D. Follow the fashion.
11. What could be the best title of the passage
A. Curious Minds Never Feel Contented
B. Reflections on Human Nature
C. The Keys to Achievement
D. Never Too Late to Learn
D
When Tina Sorg first saw the robot rolling through her supermarket, she thought, “That thing is a little weird.” Programmed to detect spills and rubbish in the passages, the robot looked like a printer with a long neck. “It needed personality,” said Ms. Sorg, 55, who manages the store’s beer and wine department.
So, during one overnight shift, she went out to a nearby arts and craft store, brought back a large pair of googly eyes (塑料眼睛) and, when no one was looking, fixed them on the top of the robot.
The eyes were a hit with managers at her grocery company Ahold Delhaize. They are now a standard feature on the company’s nearly 500 robots across the United States.
How this supermarket robot got its funny eyes touches on a serious question: Will robots with friendly faces and cute names help people feel good about devices that are taking over an increasing amount of human work
Robots are now working everywhere from factories to living rooms. But the introduction of robots to public settings like the grocery store is increasing new fears that humans are being pushed out of jobs. McKinsey, the consulting (咨询) firm, says the grocers could immediately reduce “the pool of labor hours” by as much as 65% if they adopted all the automation technology currently available.
Still, most of the retail (零售的) robots have just enough human qualities to make them appear friendly but not too many to suggest they are replacing humans completely.
“There is never going to be this great disaster of job loss,” said Peter Hancock, a professor at the University of Central Florida who has studied the history of automation. Throughout history, Hancock added, workers have attacked technologies when they feel threatened, like the 19th-century Luddites, who destroyed machinery in cloth factories. “If you push too hard, too far, people transfer their anger to the technology, and they protest,” he noted.
12. What was Tina Sorg’s attitude towards the robot that “looked like a printer with a longneck”
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
13. What happened to the googly eyes Tina Sorg put on the robot
A. They were banned by her supermarket. B. They were well-received by her bosses.
C. They went unnoticed by her colleagues. D. They were hit by some drunk customers.
14. The consulting firm McKinsey is mentioned ________.
A. to point out the exact amount of labor to be done by robots
B. to celebrate the prospect of robots replacing human workers
C. to emphasize the risk of job loss due to technological advances
D. to stress the power of automation technology in public settings
15. What can be inferred from Prof. Hancock’s words
A. Robots will be made more human-like.
B. Technology protects humans’ job security.
C. Robots will not replace human workers entirely.
D. Governments should get protesters under control.

After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together, these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, "Why Why Why "
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
"The great man," said Mencius（孟子）, "is he who does not lose his child's heart. " Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
8. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. propose a definition B. make a comparison

【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.(经过多年对人性的观察，我认为有两个品质决定了成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别好奇心和不满足。据我所知，任何一个杰出的人都缺乏这两点。我从来没见过一个普通人同时拥有这两种能力。他们俩是天生一对) ”可知，作者经过多年对人性的观察，认为成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别在于好奇心和不满足，而且两者是相辅相成的。因此，作者写第一段的目的是提出一个论点。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, ‘Why Why Why ’(像伽利略一样，历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇，并不满地问：“为什么？为什么？为什么？”) ”可推断，伽利略的例子告诉我们，伟大来自于持久的探索欲望。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, ‘Why Why Why ’(像伽利略一样，历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇，并不满地问：“为什么？为什么？为什么？”) ”；以及第四段中的“‘The great man,’ said Mencius (孟子), ‘is he who does not lose his child's heart.’ Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd.(孟子认为“不失去孩子的心，就是伟大的人。”然而，我们大多数人确实失去了它。我们不再问问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流) ”可知，你可以通过培养了一个善于提问的头脑，来重新获得好奇心和不满足。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together. (经过多年对人性的观察，我认为有两个品质决定了成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别好奇心和不满。据我所知，任何一个杰出的人都缺乏这两点。我从来没见过一个普通人同时拥有这两种能力。他们俩是天生一对) ”及下文论述可知，本文主要论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。所以“The Keys to Achievement(成就的关键)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
D
When Tina Sorg first saw the robot rolling through her supermarket, she thought, “That thing is a little weird.” Programmed to detect spills and rubbish in the passages, the robot looked like a printer with a long neck. “It needed personality,” said Ms. Sorg, 55, who manages the store’s beer and wine department.
So, during one overnight shift, she went out to a nearby arts and craft store, brought back a large pair of googly eyes (塑料眼睛) and, when no one was looking, fixed them on the top of the robot.
The eyes were a hit with managers at her grocery company Ahold Delhaize. They are now a standard feature on the company’s nearly 500 robots across the United States.
How this supermarket robot got its funny eyes touches on a serious question: Will robots with friendly faces and cute names help people feel good about devices that are taking over an increasing amount of human work
Robots are now working everywhere from factories to living rooms. But the introduction of robots to public settings like the grocery store is increasing new fears that humans are being pushed out of jobs. McKinsey, the consulting (咨询) firm, says the grocers could immediately reduce “the pool of labor hours” by as much as 65% if they adopted all the automation technology currently available.
Still, most of the retail (零售的) robots have just enough human qualities to make them appear friendly but not too many to suggest they are replacing humans completely.
“There is never going to be this great disaster of job loss,” said Peter Hancock, a professor at the University of Central Florida who has studied the history of automation. Throughout history, Hancock added, workers have attacked technologies when they feel threatened, like the 19th-century Luddites, who destroyed machinery in cloth factories. “If you push too hard, too far, people transfer their anger to the technology, and they protest,” he noted.
12. What was Tina Sorg’s attitude towards the robot that “looked like a printer with a longneck”
A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
13. What happened to the googly eyes Tina Sorg put on the robot
A. They were banned by her supermarket. B. They were well-received by her bosses.
C. They went unnoticed by her colleagues. D. They were hit by some drunk customers.
14. The consulting firm McKinsey is mentioned ________.
A. to point out the exact amount of labor to be done by robots
B. to celebrate the prospect of robots replacing human workers
C. to emphasize the risk of job loss due to technological advances
D. to stress the power of automation technology in public settings
15. What can be inferred from Prof. Hancock’s words
A. Robots will be made more human-like.
B. Technology protects humans’ job security.
C. Robots will not replace human workers entirely.
D. Governments should get protesters under control.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。讲述了蒂娜·索格为了让机器人看起来更像人，给机器人增添了一双眼睛，这一举动也给了设计者启示，认为机器人应有足够的人类特质，以带给人类客户更好的体验。但机器人的普及也引发了大家针对机器人是否会代替人类劳动力这一问题的讨论。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“ “It needed personality,” said Ms. Sorg, 55, who manages the store’s beer and wine department. (“它需要个性，”55岁的索格说，她负责店里的啤酒和葡萄酒部)”可推测出，索格对目前的机器人不满意，觉得它需要增添个性。A. Positive积极的；B. Indifferent冷漠的；C. Favorable支持的；D. Disapproving不支持的。所以选项D贴合题意。故答案为D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The eyes were a hit with managers at her grocery company Ahold Delhaize. They are now a standard feature on the company’s nearly 500 robots across the United States. (这双眼睛很受她的食品杂货公司Ahold Delhaize经理们的欢迎。它们现在是该公司遍布美国的近500个机器人的标准功能)”可知，杂货公司的经理们都很喜欢机器人脸上新添加的眼睛。故答案为B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Robots are now working everywhere from factories to living rooms. But the introduction of robots to public settings like the grocery store is increasing new fears that humans are being pushed out of jobs. McKinsey, the consulting (咨询) firm, says the grocers could immediately reduce “the pool of labor hours” by as much as 65% if they adopted all the automation technology currently available. (机器人现在工作在从工厂到客厅的任何地方。但机器人进入食品杂货店等公共场所，增加了人们对人类将被挤出工作岗位的新担忧)”重点强调but后的内容，所以后文提及McKinsey的例子是为了进一步强调机器人的出现可能会增加人类的失业风险。故答案为C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通过尾段““There is never going to be this great disaster of job loss,” said Peter Hancock, a professor at the University of Central Florida who has studied the history of automation. (中佛罗里达大学研究自动化历史的教授Peter Hancock说：“永远不会出现这种失业的大灾难”)”可知，Peter Hancock认为机器人的普及并不会导致人类失业大灾难。由此推知，他认为机器人不会完全取代人类劳动者。故答案为C。

考查名词。句意：六个月前，19岁的谢蕾为了获得商业资格，与家人和朋友告别，登上了飞往伦敦的飞机。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语，使用名词，故填qualification。
【47题详解】
考查时态。句意：这是她第一次离开中国。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因空白处表示的动作在主句谓语动词表示的动作之前发生，且主句谓语动词使用了一般过去时，空白处应使用过去完成时形式，故填had left。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意：谢蕾的另一个挑战是学术要求。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做表语表示内容，使用名词，根据常识，“学术要求”通常不可能只有一项，而是多项，所以空白处应填名词的复数形式，故填requirements。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：如今，交换年已经过半，谢蕾在英国感觉更自在了。分析句子结构，feel at home为固定句型，含义为“感觉自在”，符合语境，故填at。
【50题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：以前看起来很奇怪的事情现在对她来说似乎很正常。分析句子结构，这是一个包含主语从句的复合句，因空白处在主语从句中做主语表示内容，故填What。
【51题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“参与英国文化对此有帮助，”她说。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做主语，应使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示一个抽象的动作，应使用动名词，故填Engaging。
【52题详解】
考查时态。句意：除了努力学习，我还参加了一些社交活动。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做谓语且与主语之间为动宾关系，使用被动语态，因空白处前面有助动词have been，空白处只需要填过去分词，故填involved。
【53题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：英国人对我们的文化着迷，渴望了解更多，所以我很想和他们分享我的文化。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，应使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示一个尚未发生的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，故填to learn。
【54题详解】
考查代词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语，使用宾格人称代词，故填them。
【55题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在我学习商业的同时，我也在充当一名文化信使，在我们之间架起一座桥梁。根据名词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词表示“一个”含义，故填a。
第二节用合适的引导词填空(每题1分，共10分)
56. Without his support, we wouldn't be ________ we are now.（用适当的词填空）
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：没有他的支持，我们不会有今天的成就。空处引导表语从句，从句缺少地点状语，需用连接副词where引导。故填where。
57. The gold medal will be awarded to _________ wins the first place in the bicycle race. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whoever
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：无论谁获得自行车比赛的第一名，都将被授予金牌。分析句子可知，___wins the first place in the bicycle race作to的宾语，所以本句是宾语从句。缺少的连接词在从句中作主语，表示“无论谁”，是泛指，故用whoever引导，故填whoever。
58. Evidence has been found through years of study_________________children's early sleeping problems are likely to continue when they grow up. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】that
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：多年的研究表明，儿童的早期睡眠问题在他们长大后可能会继续存在。通过分析句子结构可知，空格处应填连词连接前后两个句子，结合句意，空格后从句是对前面evidence的说明，是同位语。从句成分和意义都完整，应用连接词that。故填that。
【点睛】同位语从句：同位语从句即重复说明同一个称谓或事件的从句。中学阶段常考由that引导的同谓语从句。that连接从句时从句为一个句意完整的陈述句，that不能省略，没有具体的意思，不充当句子成分，只起连接作用。
59. These wild flowers are so special that I would do ________ I can to save them. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whatever
【解析】
【详解】考查连接代词。句意：这些野花是如此特别，我会尽我所能来拯救它们。根据句意分析句子可知，动词do后面的部分是一个宾语从句，所以空格处应该填一个词连接主句和从句；再分析宾语从句可知，从句中的谓语can （do）后面缺少宾语，所以空格处应该填入一个连接代词连接主句和从句的同时，在从句中作宾语；再由句意可知，该连接代词应该翻译为“任何事物；一切事物”。故填whatever。
60. From space, the earth looks blue. This is ________ about seventy one percent of its surface is covered by water. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】because
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：从太空看，地球是蓝色的。这是因为大约百分之七十一的表面被水覆盖。分析句子可知，be动词后接表语从句。根据句意，用关系词because。故填because。
61. It is often the case______anything is possible for those who hang on to hope. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句连接词。句意：对那些坚持希望的人来说，一切皆有可能，这是常有的事。分析句子结构可知， it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的从句。从句中不缺成分，故填that。
62. As John Lennon once said, life is____happens to you while you are busy making other plans. (用适当的单词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：正如约翰·列侬曾经所说，生活就是在你忙于制订其他计划的时候发生在你身上的事情。分析句子可知，设空处引导表语从句并在从句中充当主语，故填what。
63. Exactly ________the potato was introduced into Europe is uncertain, but it was probably around 1565. （用单词适当形式填空）
【答案】when
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：马铃薯何时传入欧洲还不确定，但可能是在1565年左右。分析句子结构可知，空处需用连接词引导主语从句，从句的句子成分完整，所以空处需用连接副词引导主语从句，根据后文 around 1565可知，空处需用when引导主语从句。故填when。
64. It is still under discussion ___________ the old bus station should be replaced with a modern hotel or not. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whether
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句连接词。句意：是否用现代旅馆取代旧汽车站仍在讨论中。分析句子，开头it为形式主语，该空应填从属连词引导主语从句，结合句末的or not，表示“是否”。故填whether。
65. People would love to know ___________ daily life is like in space and how it differs from that on the Earth. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：人们很想知道太空中的日常生活是什么样的，以及它与地球上的日常生活有何不同。and连接两个并列的从句，一起作know的宾语，所以空处引导的是一个宾语从句。从句中缺少介词like的宾语，所以应用what“什么”引导。故填what。
